Original subtitles

Get in.

Will this do?

You should eat something nutritious.

That's unnecessary. It wasn't that big a surgery.

I have this, this,

and this.

Being with beautiful things is the best medicine.

I started

my hormone treatment again.

I gave up on having kids. Stop the treatments.

I felt bad that you had to get an injection

two to three times a week.

Don't do it anymore.

Are you giving up on having kids because of me?

I'm exhausted.

I want to stop hurting because I can't let go.

I was being greedy

and ended up making your life miserable.

Let's not struggle anymore.

I said I'd share the dream with you,

but you…

So do you want to try until we succeed?

If you fail, you'll get depressed

and calm yourself down with false hope as you get injections again.

For how long?

Until you're too old to do it anymore?

Let's not waste

precious time struggling.

Let's just be happy by ourselves, okay?

I know I'm being heartless,

but get away from my daughter.

I know you're blinded by love,

but she even announced to the world that she wants to become a mom.

You should find someone who is more suitable for you.

How dare you?

Karma would get me back.

It's not a sin to be infertile.

He must be so heartbroken.

Those poor things. What do I do about them?

Do-a, Daddy will be here soon.

I didn't think you were being melodramatic.

It was your first time raising a child, too.

I thought it was hard for everyone.

But was it so hard that you had to leave Do-a and I?

I just…

wanted to breathe.

Do-a.

Please stop crying.

Okay. I'm sorry. Okay.

Why are you still up?

Jae-yeong.

Do-a cried all day long.

That's how newborns are.

I feel like…

all I am is a milk-producing machine.

I'll sleep with her tonight,

so get some sleep.

I want to wear a lab coat and see patients, too.

I can operate well.

I can save people's lives.

You can once you return to work.

Time will fly by.

Do-a will grow up quickly.

Hi, Do-a.

THANK YOU FOR COMING TO US

The person you have reached…

She won't pick up.

Where is she?

Right? She won't pick up.

Are you sure Jeong-won went to get her hair done?

-Yes. -Jae-yeong,

tell us the truth.

Did something happen between you two?

Gosh.

All I heard before was Do-a's cries,

but I heard the sounds of the world.

The warm breeze, sunlight…

Things like that existed.

I was finally able to breathe again.

I went straight home and worked on my thesis.

I felt alive.

I didn't know back then that it was postpartum depression.

I found out afterward, but I didn't want to admit it.

I wasn't the type of person

who could be happy just because I was a mom…

I couldn't give up everything for my child.

Back then, I couldn't breathe whenever I saw you or Do-a.

I never imagined you'd give up your professorship.

Do-a was my eternal guilt,

so I was too afraid to see her.

But we're closer now.

That's good.

Start over now.

I'll watch Do-a.

I'm happy where I am now.

When I was in that pond, I thought that was the best.

But this pond isn't so bad.

I'm content.

I miss you.

You can't give up on Ha-ri?

Do I have to

give up on you?

I'm going to an interview.

The photographer mom? I liked her essay.

The photos are nice, too.

Ask her if we can print a photo of her with her child.

-Okay. -Good luck.

Stand clear of the closing doors.

Hello.

Stand clear of the closing doors.

Do you feel very uncomfortable around me?

Wouldn't it be weirder to be comfortable?

What should I do?

Can you make it so you never existed?

I don't have the ability to change the past.

It may have started with a misunderstanding,

but it was real for me.

Furthermore,

I don't know how to let go nicely of someone I liked as you did.

Let me hate you.

You threw a stone without thinking and it hurt me.

Hate me. Resent me.

You can hit me, too.

You made me cry,

so don't live a good life.

At least pretend to be miserable until my feelings fade.

That way, I'll hate you less and can end it quickly.

-Ms. Jang. -Yes?

I have something to tell you.

I gave up on having kids. Stop the treatments.

I'm exhausted.

Mr. Han! I'm here. Let's go.

She's a photographer mom.

She logged the baby's development from the baby's perspective.

Her photos are nice, too.

She's donating her payment to a single-parent organization.

She takes first birthday photos for free for single-parents.

What a good person.

Hello.

Hello, I'm Park Yeon-ho from The Baby.

Hello, I'm Jung In-a.

Mr. Han.

Mr. Han?

So, how did you think of writing the essay

from the perspective of your child?

I wondered what my child was thinking,

and thought from her perspective.

For babies, they're seeing everything for the first time ever.

I thought it must've seemed novel.

The content is fun

and the photos are warm, so it stayed with me.

As I raised my child,

my perspective on life changed.

That's probably why my photos changed, too.

Ra-on pretty much raised me.

Okay. Lastly,

we'll take a picture in front of your photo with Ra-on.

Mr. Han.

Smile.

Please look at the camera.

Smile.

Please give us a big smile.

Smile.

I can't seem to smile.

I'll take the photo and send it to you.

I'm sure the tone will be similar.

Okay, then please email it to me.

Thank you for making time for us.

I have a meeting to get to, so I'll head out first.

-I'll be in touch. -Okay.

The hardest thing after we broke up

was losing my closest friend.

It's nice talking to you again.

Do you still hate me?

Back then,

I thought

you'd naturally choose having a baby over me.

I think that's why

I resented you even more.

I resented you, too.

It was like we were given a death sentence.

We did nothing wrong. We didn't know what to do.

We were too busy seeing our own pain.

You're right.

That's why…

I made it very hard for you.

I knew it was over,

but I tried to hold on.

That's why you had no choice but to leave me.

I was the one who couldn't handle the situation.

I know it was because of the fertility issue,

but we just weren't strong enough to endure it.

If we had stayed together,

we both would've been miserable.

I had thought holding on was the way to keep my love.

-Nice. You look so cute. -Okay.

Look at Mommy.

Good. You look so cute.

Father, please look this way.

Okay. Good.

I should've…

let you go for your sake.

That's what I should've done.

In-a.

Are you happy?

Good.

It's all good then.

Come back to me as I've come back to you.

Let's live together again.

Do-a.

How was it staying with Mommy?

Do you want to live with Mommy?

What? Why does it taste good although I'm stressed?

Right?

Why are you two eating so violently?

What are you stressed about?

My dad wants me to quit because of all the overtime.

Is your dad conservative? Do you have a curfew and stuff?

No. He's a total free spirit.

He says to find a good work-life balance.

What are you stressed about?

That photographer mom I interviewed this afternoon…

I think she's Mr. Han's ex-girlfriend.

-Oh, my gosh. -Is she pretty?

Yes, really pretty.

So should I tell Ms. Jang?

It's better not to, right?

Why should you? Especially if she's really pretty.

It's not like he cheated, so why? Don't tell her.

Right?

What about you? What's up?

I told Ms. Jang that I quit.

-What? -Why?

So…

I'd like to quit my job.

Why do you want to quit?

I have no reason to stay here anymore.

It's not like parenting magazines have a vision,

and work isn't fun.

Do you have a new job lined up?

Not yet.

Okay, then.

If you want to quit,

I have no reason to stop you.

Plus, they've been telling me to downsize,

but I've been resisting.

If you get a good opportunity, take it.

If there's a place you want to go to, I'll look into it.

But if that's not it,

will you give me a chance?

A chance to do what?

I want to protect our magazine

with you guys until you guys say you want to leave.

And I should do something for you guys.

I'm sure that when I got promoted,

Yeon-ho thought she'd be promoted to deputy manager.

She must've been disappointed,

but she doesn't let on, and works hard.

I should help her get promoted as Ms. Sim did for me.

I can't let So-yun only do grunt work until she leaves.

She should write an article to use in her portfolio

for when she switches jobs.

And as for you…

You really don't listen.

I've been listening well lately.

I said to quit after you've built a portfolio

that you can be proud of.

Did you?

You have a good eye, so you come up with good concepts

and photo ideas.

You write good articles too, now.

I'd like to teach you a little more.

But sure. It's a shame, but it is what it is.

Above all,

it's sad because you seem to be leaving disgruntled.

Think it over just one more time.

So? What will you do?

I feel like our magazine will be shut down soon.

Are you going to stay?

Well… I should stay. She says she'll make me deputy manager.

Hey. I love The Baby, too.

I like the work, too, but I like the people more.

Hey. I don't know what will happen, but I want to stay.

You guys should move when you can.

I'm going to stay because I want to know what will happen to our magazine.

I really don't like Ms. Jang.

She scolds me all the time. She won't let me quit.

But it looks like she has to fight the company.

She needs people on her side.

That's right. How could she fight all by herself?

We need to help her.

Hey, let's do it.

-We can do it! -Loyalty!

-Yes! -Yes!

Let's not waste precious time struggling.

Let's just be happy by ourselves, okay?

Should we have a small wedding?

Not an expensive small wedding,

but a really small wedding.

Is there anywhere you want to go on our honeymoon?

You can have a baby.

It's just that the probability dropped.

Why are you giving up?

You're giving up on having a baby because you love me.

What will you give up next?

I…

I hope children won't cause a problem between us.

See? It's making us fight already.

I said let's endure these uncomfortable conversations,

but let's not lose regardless.

I feel like you've lost.

Why are you being so nasty all of a sudden?

Let's be cool-headed.

You think love conquers all, don't you?

What if

there comes a time when love doesn't solve anything?

-That won't happen. -Ha-ri.

You can have an ordinary family.

Are you breaking up with me?

I'm giving you time to think.

You could have a life

that isn't difficult

without giving up anything.

What…

Do you suddenly not like me?

If you're doing this for me, you're mistaken.

Snap out of it and think straight.

Think about how selfish I was to cling onto you

just because I didn't want to lose you.

I'm quitting The Baby. It has been keeping me

from doing my real job.

I don't know how long it'll take.

Let's think about it rationally

while we're apart.

You'll come back, right?

It's seems

you, not I, need time to think.

So I'll let you go.

If we're apart even briefly, it'll be difficult for us both.

We'll miss each other so much it'll hurt.

I hope you regret it and come back.

It's from Do-a's first birthday.

I donated the money you gave me

for the birthday party and child support until now

in Do-a's name.

When I watched her by myself all day long,

I went crazy, too.

I was too busy resenting and hating you

that I couldn't understand how you felt.

I'm sorry.

I could've taken paternity leave,

but I thought it was natural that you watch the baby.

You and I had been full of ourselves all our lives,

so our own lives came first,

and we put our own feelings first.

I still don't know what love is,

but being selfish in love as you and I were…

can't be it.

Is it because of Ha-ri?

I started to see her

after you and I broke up.

Just because I've settled my feelings for her

doesn't mean I see you.

My feelings were different.

So you've made up your mind.

It's not like you don't love Do-a.

Just because you're a mom,

you shouldn't have to sacrifice everything.

Showing her how amazingly you live your life

will make Do-a happy, too.

You're making it impossible for me to hold on.

We should each

live a life where we love ourselves.

Become a good doctor.

I'll become a good dad.

Did I-sang leave?

I… I think so.

He… He called to say he wasn't coming anymore.

He isn't coming back, is he?

I'm not sure.

He didn't say when he's coming.

Ha-ri…

Come out.

I know you're in there.

You can't leave like this.

How could that be the last time? Come out.

I know you're inside.

3 MONTHS LATER

-Sorry I'm late. -Hi.

Cheonwang renewed their contract for the toothpaste ads.

They said a year is tough and wanted six months.

I'll try to talk them into it.

What about the newsletter?

We have to give a presentation. The women's magazines, too.

We've been doing it, so we have the competitive edge.

-Let me. -What? Okay.

Ta-da.

-Thank you. -All done.

What are the updates with the ad clients?

CCJJ agreed to a six-month contract for their baby lotion.

The others say they will look it over.

And then they don't call back.

Same here. They'll look it over.

We write more proposals than articles.

Why do you think that is?

Ms. Jang.

So… Did you see the profit and loss report?

I did.

You saw the drop in the graph for advertisements, right?

You asked for three months,

so I'm blocking the pressure from up above,

but I can't last much longer.

We're in discussions with some clients,

so we'll get our numbers up soon.

I'm proud of how hard you're all working,

so I want to keep taking your side,

but the executives are very unhappy.

I'm sure they'll announce something very soon.

Yes, sir.

We'd be fine if we could get ten-year-long ads.

But ten isn't easy to get, is it?

Is it because the social media marketing event didn't work?

Why don't we hold a nationwide baby model contest?

Aren't we doing this because we don't have money?

Since I clocked in, I'll go out and make money.

-Make lots of money. -Of course.

Get lots of ads.

-Go get them! -Okay.

MEDIA PROPOSAL

You know

our supporters, The Mom, don't you?

I'm sure they'll be of great help in promoting your product.

Yes, they'll be of great help.

-Hello. Sorry we're late. -Hello. Sorry.

Did you wait long?

We're sorry.

Here you go.

ABOUT BABY WALKER SONG

Please take a look at this.

-Gosh. Pick that up. -Okay.

Eu-tteum, are you done with the meeting yet?

I just got back from a quick meeting.

I'm going to a bookstore this afternoon.

When will you be back?

I have no one to eat with.

Okay, work hard.

-I don't want to eat alone-- -I don't want to eat alone--

-Where are you eating? -There.

Let's go.

I'm telling you. Give our Precious a chance.

It's okay. I'm not a fan.

Yes, that's right.

You're not just a fan, you become a fanatic.

I don't know.

About what?

I mean, think about our age.

If we look at young, pretty girls like them,

people say we're disgusting and lewd.

Yes, that's a prejudice,

but I stay away intentionally to avoid hearing that.

Yes, you're pure in heart,

but other people don't think that way.

I feel like at our age, we should hold ourselves

to a higher standard of dignity. I'm just worried, that's all.

I just like

the young people's dreams and passion.

Since I can't do that anymore,

it comforts me.

That's why…

That's why I watch them,

but I guess it could look disgusting.

Cold.

Here.

Ha-ri.

Don't think about anything else.

"Ha-ri"?

Didn't that wake you right up?

Did you risk your life to make me snap out of it?

Aren't I brave?

Then let me be a little braver.

You must have nine lives.

Ha-ri.

No. Hey, Ha-ri.

-Get over here. -Ha-ri.

I must be worrying you.

There's no need to try hard to cheer me up.

You know I liked you, right?

Back then, I wanted to be like you because you were cool,

and everything you said, every look in your eyes,

every little thing you did seemed special to me.

So if you feel like you did something wrong,

if you feel down on yourself,

remember there was someone who liked even the not-so-great things about you.

Please remember that.

Thank you.

You, too.

If people look down on you and scold you, saying you're clueless,

remember there was a person who was consoled by you

like she was smacked upside the head.

Thank you.

Last time.

-Get home safely. -Bye.

Good night.

Because I've never been marooned due to a landslide before.

Because I've never proposed with my heart racing

like this before.

Where are you hiding?

Let's focus on its clean image, and make it as simple as possible.

-Then should we make it brighter? -Yes.

But they said the concept is,

they use these wet tissues in the palace,

and asked us to make them look as elegant as possible.

The palace?

This isn't the Korean Empire.

Okay.

-Mr. Nam. -Yes?

Then we'll make the background a little darker.

Just get angry instead.

I'm not very happy right now.

I'm not miserable, so I couldn't act miserable.

Why would I be angry at you?

I don't hate you anymore.

Go back to work.

I was worried that she'd still hate me.

Why am I disappointed that she doesn't?

Eu-tteum, just a minute.

Does Mr. Kim try to make you fans of his favorite girl group, too?

He stops if you get him their postcards or fan gear.

Really?

How sad is that?

It made me sad when I first heard about his daughter, too.

-His daughter? -Yes.

She's very introverted,

so she had no friends

and didn't want to go to school. So Mr. Kim scolded her,

and she didn't speak with him for three years.

Three years?

She locked herself in her room and only watched Precious,

so he watched them as if studying for an exam,

to try and talk to her.

Since then, they go to their performances together,

and joined their fan club together.

They're like friends now.

Although I feel like he's a bigger fan now.

Goodness.

Why does he have such a sad story?

I feel so bad now.

Jung Karen, Kim Mi-gyeong,

Lee Su-hyeon, Kang Yu-ri,

Jeon Ji-su, Yoo Ra-jeong.

Jung Karen, Kim Mi-gyeong,

Lee Su-hyeon.

Kang Yu-ri,

Jeon Ji-su, Yoo Ra-jeong.

Precious. We'll protect you.

Ta-da.

-What's that? -Precious concert tickets.

Su-cheol got them for me. He said they were hard to get.

Wow. You can only get these if you saved the country

in a past life.

I must've saved someone's life in my past life.

Don't you feel like today's deal will go well, too?

Maybe he'll give us a year instead of six months.

Right? That's the feeling I get, too.

I think it'll go very well.

Let's go. Let us go.

Precious concert tickets.

I hear you're in the fan club.

Can't you get them?

I mean, I'm not using the ad as leverage or anything.

I'm just asking.

My daughter wants to go to the concert,

and won't eat or study. She's just lying in bed all day.

In that case… Then can you extend the contract

from six months to a year?

Mr. Kim. I'm not asking for a bribe.

I'm asking you to get them for me since we're close.

Plus, if you're thoughtful of me and get them for me,

why wouldn't I be able to give you a year given our relationship?

I see.

Actually, I happen to have tickets with me.

My gosh.

My gosh. You happened to bring them for me.

Hey. Revise the contract to one year and send it back to them.

Yes, sir.

-Thank you. -Sure.

Okay, then.

Give them back.

The tickets. Give them back.

Why are you asking for something Mr. Kim gave me?

You were clearly demanding a bribe.

And even if it were a gift, you shouldn't accept it.

Especially if you used your position to make an unfair request.

Eu-tteum, what are you doing?

The young man doesn't know what he should and should not say.

And he's inflexible.

How do you expect to survive in sales?

I was taught to do my job without being mistreated

by our advertising clients.

I know that you are a very fair and reasonable person.

That's how I want to remember you, Mr. Park.

Furthermore, I'd like our relationship to be fair and trustworthy.

Please, sir.

I apologize.

He's like that because I've taught him too well.

Well… So… I'll assume the contract…

is for a year as discussed.

Since verbal contracts are binding contracts as well.

Thank you very much.

Hello, Sang-gon.

She isn't even eight months yet.

Are Ji-ae and the baby okay?

Yes. Call me right away if she goes into labor.

Okay.

-This isn't that much-- -It's a lot.

This is good.

The more you shoot, the more pay--

Do you think I'll get more?

My pay hasn't changed in years.

I'm sorry about--

If you are, give me a little raise. Okay?

Hey, may I miss I-sang right about now?

I--

I suddenly miss him.

Didn't he come back to Korea? I heard someone saw him.

Where would anyone see him?

He has a very common face.

That's why people mistake him for other people all the time.

How is that face common?

It's so obvious when it's him.

You're done for the day, right? Go home.

Bye.

Where's my head? Look at the time.

-See you later. -Bye.

Mr. Nam. You know that infertile couple?

She's in the hospital. The baby may come early.

We'll have to go take pictures right away if they call.

The couple that I-sang was…

I can do it, too.

You have to pick up even if I call after midnight.

Okay.

-Don't forget. -Okay.

If you made it to the final interview, aren't you pretty much in?

Not pretty much. I was hired

since they even explained my duties.

So what did you not like about them?

Because my kids come first.

When they said I may be unable to go home once a project starts,

I didn't even think about it and said I couldn't do it.

My husband works late often too.

I can't leave the kids home alone.

Hey. Why don't you find a nanny?

Even if I give all the money I make to the nanny,

what if I work weekends?

I can't have her watch them every single day.

Why doesn't every company have a nursery?

We're not the only ones life is hard for, are we?

Are we?

Have you heard from I-sang?

I think he may be back.

But he hasn't called.

I guess I should move on.

Are we being incessant

and clinging onto something impossible?

It's freaking hard to get a job!

It's freaking hard to love someone.

It's freaking hard to raise kids!

It's freaking hard to have a baby.

Why are you crying and shit?

Look who's talking.

You stop crying.

You killed the mood by crying.

You brought up sad stuff.

I'm not sad, so why are you?

Just looking at you makes me sad.

-What's your problem? -Shit.

You look ugly, so don't cry.

You look ugly too.

Hey. Why is the weather so freaking nice?

Seriously.

MULTIPLICATION TABLE TRIPE

Hi.

Hi.

Is Jeong-won watching Do-a?

I get her for four days, and Jeong-won gets her for three.

Jeong-won moved near me.

That's good.

-Here. -No thanks. I don't want to drink.

Why not?

Are you even worse when you're drunk?

Can you not tell

whether you're a stray dog roaming the streets?

Seriously.

Stop being a jackass.

I'm still on medication.

Is that it?

I feel like you're being careful to avoid getting wasted in front of I-sang.

This is why I hate you.

I wish I couldn't see what you're thinking so clearly.

Worry about yourself.

Are you living only for Do-a now?

Who'd want a divorced man with a baby?

The world isn't that tolerant.

There are countless reasons why you shouldn't love someone.

Who in this world doesn't have problems?

No one is disqualified from loving.

Whether you can't find love or you've lost love,

how could a person live without loving anyone?

Can love forgive all?

Is it true love only if you sacrifice everything for that person?

Especially you. You always did that.

Whenever you fell in love, you disappeared.

You catered completely to the other person.

That's why I'm telling you to reflect on your love.

You have no reason to be disqualified,

so try being in love in a healthy relationship.

Perhaps that's why I-sang left.

Was that why?

I feel like he left intending never to return.

Hey. I think you're way too good for this.

You really are a catch.

You're lovable and more than deserve to be loved.

It'd be such a waste if you end up alone just because no one appreciates that.

Find someone who appreciates you as I do.

If that's I-sang,

you'll see him again.

Hang in there, Ha-ri.

Hey.

You'll come again for tripe, right?

How can I come back here when you come here?

If we run into each other again,

I'll have to work hard to act like a friend.

It's too hard.

Ha-ri.

I wish you luck.

-Later. -Bye.

How am I supposed to love?

Hello, Sang-gon.

Right now?

I'm coming.

Mr. Nam, she's going to give birth soon.

Please come to the hospital right away.

I'll text you the address.

I'll call you back.

How's Ji-ae?

They're preparing for delivery and asked me to leave.

They say it's premature rupture of membranes.

They treated her, so she's fine now.

-Thank goodness. -They say we can't have cameras

in the delivery room because emergencies may arise.

You'll have to take the pictures now.

Okay.

She'll go into labor soon. You may go in.

-Okay. I'll go in. -Go ahead.

MR. NAM

I wish he'd hurry.

Why won't he pick up?

MR. NAM

I've missed you.

Even if you become miserable, I want to stay with you.

Whether or not I have a child,

I want to be happy.

What's there to happiness?

These mornings are happiness.

We agreed not to be nice for no reason.

I was being nice only to the person I like.

A golden pig this big was running at me like a rhino.

It's a baby dream!

Right? It's a baby dream, right?

Come in.
