01x15 - Couvade Syndrome

[bunniefuu]

What are they doing?
That's dangerous.

What?

Dad?

Dad.

Are you all right? Aren't you hurt?

She's pregnant.
We need to take her to a doctor.

Call 911.

I can't have you back in the office.

That thing in the annex
doesn't want you back.

Don't call 911.

Why not?

It's faster by my car.

I'll take her.

Okay. Let's put her into the car.

Just help me get her into the car.

I'll call you
when I get to the hospital.

What are you saying? An accident?

We're on our way
to the emergency room.

We're almost there.

Why are you with Yeon Doo?

I'm driving.

Let's talk later.

Okay. I'll be there soon too.

Thanks.

Do you even know what kind of person
that girl in the annex is?

Why do you keep saying such things?

Don't regret it later
and listen to me.

Bringing Ms. Jang in
is good for many reasons.

Yeon Doo said no.

If you keep doing that,
I'm going to leave.

Look at that.

- What?
- Ms. Jang?

What? It's Ms. Jang.
Hurry up and answer.

Gosh. Give it to me.

Yes. Is that you, Ms. Jang?
It's me, Eun Geum Sil.

What?

The girl in the annex
was in an accident?

An accident?

[Emergency Medical Center]

You saved the pregnant lady?

Yes. I saved her.

What do you mean?

I saved Yeon Doo.

Tae Kyung.

Yeon Doo. How do you feel?

What happened?

Why am I at a hospital?

You don't remember?

You narrowly avoided a kick scooter.

What about my baby?

Did something bad
happen to the baby?

I must...

I'm here now.

Don't worry and try to rest.

I'm a gynecologist.

Her vitals are fine,

so I'd like you to do an ultrasound.

I'll have that arranged.

Register her as a patient
and go straight to the lab.

Okay.

Get the paperwork sorted.

I'll take her to the ultrasound lab.

Okay.

Go with Ms. Jang.
I'll join you soon.

Can we go a little faster?

Actually, I'd rather walk.

Can we stop for a bit?

Ms. Oh. Listen to me.

You almost...

got hit by the kick scooter,
but there was no contact.

I caught you from behind
when you fell,

so you didn't suffer much.

Look. There are no visible wounds...

and you're not bleeding.

You don't have to worry.

I saw it all.

Your baby will be fine.

Are you all right? Aren't you hurt?

Sorry.

I was so startled...

that I didn't get to thank you.

You can thank me...

once the doctor confirms
your baby's okay.

Yeon Doo.

I've never seen him run like that.

He must be very worried about you.

We got the order for the ultrasound.

Let's go.

I'll wait in the ER.

Okay.

What's the matter?
Does your shoulder hurt?

Don't mind me.

What are you doing here?
I thought we'd never have to meet.

Your daughter told me what you
and your wife are going through.

What about me and my wife?

She turned down the US job
because you might get divorced.

Get divorced.

You fought each other for decades,

but you could never do it
because of me.

I'll make the choice for you.

Get divorced right away.

So that's why yesterday...

Was I mistaken?

Are you not getting divorced?

It's what Se Jin says.

It's true.

Is there no going back?

If there's something I can do...

Split up Tae Kyung and his wife.

What did you just say?

I'm saying there's no turning back.

Also, I'm grateful
you helped pay for this school,

but don't barge in like this.

Excuse me.

Hi, honey.

What? Okay.

Something came up at home. See you.

I'll get my place back.

I'll get back what's meant
to be mine, so please!

Get out of this house
and do whatever you want.

Let me help you.

You're done.

Put on your shirt and come outside.

It's our turn to clean up.

Thank you.

Take the call. I'll wait outside.

Hello.

How did it go?

She's getting an ultrasound.

How do you know her?

You don't need to know.

I'll look after her, so don't worry.

You and Mom should pick a date
and head to family court.

Chairman Gong was just here.

To claw your way back,

did you lie
that we'd be getting a divorce?

It's not a lie.

You will get divorced
sooner or later.

Whatever I do from now on,

I want you to stay out of it.

You're no longer my father.

I'm no longer her father?

What daughter makes her dad cry?

[Emergency Medical Center]

Hello.

How's Yeon Doo?

She went to get an ultrasound.
She should be done by now.

Come with me.

Okay.

What do the results say?

How's the baby?

You must've heard
when the ultrasound was done,

but it didn't show
any abnormalities.

The baby's fine.

What about the blood test?

The anemia is down to 9.4.

The cause is dizziness.

Everything was normal
when I ran a blood test.

Were you anemic before?

I don't know.

I did feel dizzy sometimes.

I missed it.

It's not yet time
to take iron supplements,

so I didn't mind that.

I'll prescribe something for that.

She can leave after the shot.

Okay. Thanks, Doctor.

Thank you.

Yeon Doo.

My goodness. Yeon Doo.

- Are you all right?
- Mother.

You must still be in shock.

Is Real okay?

Yes.

It was a temporary issue
caused by anemia.

That's good, then.

As long as
the mom and baby are fine.

I was so worried
one or the other would suffer.

It would've been worse
if not for Ms. Jang.

Ms. Jang?

I suddenly felt faint and almost
collided with a kick scooter,

but Ms. Jang saved me.

My goodness.

Ms. Jang, you saved
both the mom and baby.

Well done. Good for you.

Not at all.

Thanks, Ms. Jang.

But how did you meet in public?

Mom said she wanted to
meet Ms. Oh to apologize.

We'd made an appointment
but she fell ill,

so I was on my way alone.

Who cares what happened and how...

when you saved two lives?

Don't you agree, Tae Kyung?

Right. I'm glad no one was hurt.

Didn't you perhaps...

see an older man there?

What?

I don't think I did.
No one was there.

Who do you mean?

Well, I met him
to look into something,

but this happened to me
while I was waiting.

I should call him
now that I've come to.

Oh, him?

A man helped me get you in the car.

I gave him my business card,
and he called me.

I told him that you were all right.

He said he was busy...

and said he'd call you later.

I see. I appreciate
you looking out for me.

It's not like you're her assistant.

Why would you
be looking out for her?

It's my job, Ms. Eun.

I'm used to it.

Why did you of all people
have to get her to safety?

Your fates are twisted
in the weirdest way.

What is it? Does it hurt?

Did you injure yourself
while helping her up?

I'm all right.

I don't want to worry anyone,
so please don't say anything.

You poor thing.

Tae Kyung.

My mom and I bought it together.

It's for the baby.

Gosh.

I'm already grateful for today,
but you're also giving me a gift.

Thank you so much.

Tell your mother
that I appreciate her kindness.

Sure. I'll get going, then.

Goodness me.

Tae Kyung,

you should drive her home
in her car.

This foolish thing
injured her shoulder...

while helping your wife.

I asked you to turn
a blind eye to that, Ms. Eun.

Give me your car key.

Shouldn't a doctor check you out?

Tell me right now
if you're feeling sore.

It's not that bad.

I didn't say anything
since it could seem like...

I wanted the acknowledgment.

But Ms. Eun...

To be honest, I was on the fence.

With what?

Up ahead,

I could see someone on a scooter
heading toward her.

In that short moment,

various thoughts
swept through my brain.

She's the woman
who ruined my wedding...

which also led
to my parents' divorce,

but she was in danger
right before my eyes.

I didn't want to help her.

I wanted to let her
get hurt in the accident.

I thought of myself
as someone cruel,

but I guess that wasn't the case.

I acted before I could think.

Before I knew it,
I was lying on the ground...

with Ms. Oh in my arms.

I'd like to thank you once again
for helping her.

Treat me to a meal
if you're that grateful.

I'm only kidding.

I'd like to get some shut-eye.

Helping your wife today
drained my energy.

Yeon Doo, are you crying?

I apologize, Mother.

To think that my baby...

might not have gotten
to wear these cute shoes...

brought tears to my eyes.

I guess I'm having
serious mood swings.

That's normal with pregnancy.

It's all right.

That's all the more reason
to be grateful to Ms. Jang.

But you only wanted her
out of your life.

Mother, why would
you bring that up again?

I have every right to say it.

Who should you thank
for your grandchild being alive?

Let's say that we helped her
get a job at another company.

Her parents are now divorced.

Must she also have to work
in an unfamiliar environment?

To me, she's close to family.

She's like family to you?

Gosh, how could you say that
in front of Yeon Doo?

I...

have something to tell you.

Goodness.

Why were they in the same car?

Se Jin!

Gosh, Tae Kyung. What brings you by?

Hold on. Are you dropping
Se Jin off?

Yes.

I heard you weren't feeling well.
Are you all right?

Me?

Gosh, yes. That's right.

I had the worst case of the shivers.

The cold sweat was getting worse,

so I thought I'd go grocery shopping
to shake it off.

We should head inside.

- Sorry?
- Well,

it's been a while since you visited,
so stay for dinner.

No, it's all right.
You should head inside.

I'd feel terrible
to see you go like this.

Come on.

No wonder I wanted
to make galbijjim today.

It's what you like, right?

Now, go ahead.

Right. Thank you.

Se Jin, you should also eat up.

You haven't had an appetite...

ever since you got
stood up at the altar.

I've been feeling empty inside...

now that we don't have
a man around the house.

It would've been nice...

to have a son-in-law like you.

Mom, that's enough.
You're making him uncomfortable.

What? Goodness. How silly of me.

Anyway, here you go.

Eat up.

Make sure you polish off the dish.

Sure.

It's delicious.

Ms. Jang will be back at the office.

Are you saying
she'll get her job back?

That's right. It turns out...

she's more generous
than her mother-in-law.

She persuaded In Ok on our way home.

Will you be all right with it?

What can I do when Yeon Doo
will only feel better this way?

I was against the idea...

since Ms. Jang
makes me uncomfortable,

but this is work
we're talking about.

It seems unreasonable
to not offer someone a job...

due to personal reasons.

But what happened today
changed your mind.

I guess her heroic rescue paid off.

You shouldn't put it like that.

Something bad
could've happened to Real.

Mother, please allow
Tae Kyung and Yeon Doo...

to join us for meals.

- What?
- You said you considered...

Ms. Jang as family.

But Tae Kyung and Yeon Doo
are actually your family.

Let them come by freely...

and also sit at the dining table.

Sure thing, then.

Grandmother,
this is generous of you.

You should've allowed this
a long time ago.

Finally, the family
is on the right track.

Chan Sik, sort out
Ms. Jang's employment...

before you leave
on your business trip tomorrow.

Of course.

Are you insane?
Why did you help her?

And what is this
about me being sick?

Se Jin, why did you help a woman
who only deserves your wrath?

Is Oh Yeon Doo the woman
you were talking about before?

Is she living in the annex
that you decorated yourself?

My gosh. That's what it is.

There's something about her.

What is it?

I should go back to the house
and figure it out.

It's not like you can figure it out
just by going back there.

Everyone will be paying
sharp attention to you all the time.

I need to shake them up
so they won't be sharp anymore.

Both her and Tae Kyung.

Hey, you're home.

You must've been frightened today.

You should've told me
about it sooner.

Don't talk to me.
I feel like I'm going to throw up.

Why? Are you feeling sick?

You must've been shocked.

Just go exercise.

Wait. I heard
Ms. Jang would come back.

- What?
- It was your wife's decision.

And you and your wife will be
eating in the main house.

You should exercise
to improve digestion.

See you.

[Anemia in pregnancy]

Hey, you're home.

Why do you search on the internet
when I'm a gynecologist?

I'll get you some iron pills today.
Make sure to take them on time.

I have iron pills.
I'll tell you if I need more.

Are you feeling sick?

No. It's nothing.

Hyun Woo told me...

that you decided
to have Ms. Jang back here.

Why did you do that?

I realized nothing mattered.

I was really terrified today.

I moved in here to protect my baby,

but I almost lost it.

I don't care about anything else
but Real now.

I'm sorry I made the decision
without talking to you.

It's all right.

But promise me that you will discuss
things about Ms. Jang with me.

Okay. I will.

Father is going to the US
on a business trip tomorrow.

Let's go and see him off
in the morning.

Okay.

I'll be in my room then.

Okay.

Does he have an upset stomach?

I took digestive medicine already.
What's wrong with me?

Is it the galbijjim I had earlier?

Hello. I'm 12 weeks pregnant.

I was carrying twins,

but I lost one of them.

I'm joining the website
to get some information.

Yeon Doo.

Yeon Doo?

You said you didn't need my help.

Yes.

Hey.

- Are you ready to go?
- Yes.

I heard you wanted to talk to me.

Ms. Jang is coming back.

Yes, I heard that from Yeon Doo.

Thanks for understanding.

It's no problem.

I feel like we've finally
become family. I'm so glad.

It's all thanks to Real.

I know.

Please take good care
of your health.

Okay.

Honey, it's time.

All right. I should get going.

I'll see you later, Mother.

All right. It's a long trip,
so I won't get to see you for a while.

I'll call you often.

Don't worry about the company.
I'll take good care of it.

Dad, you know the cookie I like.
Make sure to buy it for me.

You should go or you'll be late.

I'll see you later, Yeon Doo.

Yes, Father. Have a safe trip.

All right. Let's go.

The sea urchin seaweed soup
is really good.

I'll get some more rice and soup.

Is she the same person who was
in the emergency room yesterday?

She has such a good appetite.

I know.

This is her first breakfast here,
but she doesn't seem uncomfortable.

I like that she seems cheerful.

But isn't she being too cheerful?

She doesn't feel uncomfortable
around us at all.

Excuse me. I should get going.

You don't have to get me a ride.
I have a meeting in the morning.

Where's Tae Kyung?

He's not feeling well,
so he won't have breakfast.

He's never had an upset stomach before.
I'm worried.

He looked awful last night.

It never happened before.

Chun Myung, call Ms. Jang for me.

Is your vision blurry again?

You should see your eye doctor.

You've had the vision issue
since I got married.

She's been like that
since I was little.

But she doesn't
want to wear glasses.

Mother, do you want me
to make a doctor's appointment?

We should have your eyes checked...

Come on.

I just told you to make a call,
but what's with all the nagging?

Forget about it.

Hey, you call her.

- Pardon?
- Call Ms. Jang.

Yes, Ms. Eun.

Did you hear
that you'd be back to work?

Yes. I got a call
from HR last night.

I was going to visit you today.

Yes. I'll be there soon.

Look at you. Everything turns out
the way you planned.

Maybe you will have
Tae Kyung back soon.

Did you hear from Dad?

No. Why?

What? Is he trying
to get on your case again?

No. Just tell me
if you hear anything from Dad.

And don't forget about
the doctor's appointment tomorrow.

Of course, I won't.
Get ready to go out then.

[Gong Obstetrics and Gynecology]

My stomach is terribly upset.

Dr. Gong, please come on out
for a moment.

What's all this?

Ms. Park So Yeon sent these...

to thank you for your help.

And we want you to share it with us.
Is that all right?

We're not supposed to
receive things from our patients,

but we can't just throw this away.

I don't feel like eating.

Make sure to ventilate the room
before the patients come.

All right. Just try this.

It will melt in your mouth.

What's with him?
Does he have an upset stomach?

He's been acting strange
since yesterday.

He doesn't even know what it's like
to have an upset stomach.

When he was a resident,

he didn't have problems even when
he finished his meal in ten seconds.

It looks like
he has morning sickness.

Isn't that Couvade syndrome?

Couvade syndrome?

Like a husband who experiences
symptoms of pregnancy for his wife?

Couvade syndrome is
also called sympathetic pregnancy.

Dr. Gong has no sense of sympathy.

That's impossible.

Let's eat.

Are you all right? Do you want me
to thump you on the back?

You look so pale.

Did you throw up?

Don't talk to me. I feel nauseated.

Look at you. This does look
like Couvade syndrome.

Couvade? What are you talking about?
That's absurd.

I knew it. It's impossible
that you have Couvade syndrome.

See you.

Couvade?

That's embarrassing.

I'll start going to the office
when Chairman Gong comes back.

It must've been a tough decision.

Thank you for approving, Ms. Lee.

Yeon Doo made the decision,

so you should be thankful to her.

Why does it matter
if Yeon Doo made the decision?

It's nice for everyone to get along.

Think of it
as turning over a new leaf...

and take even better care
of our family.

Yes, Ms. Eun.

Thankfully, things turned out
the way we wanted,

but what's coming up ahead
is more important.

Yes. I'll have to stay
by Ms. Oh's side...

and figure out what she's planning
to do in three months.

Tae Kyung hasn't noticed yet, right?

No. The way he treated Ms. Oh
in the emergency room...

seemed sincere.

Also...

Ms. Jang. Congratulations.
We get to see each other again.

I'm so happy to see you again too.

I look forward
to seeing you more going forward.

Grandma. Come eat with us tomorrow.

Chun Myung made a reservation
at the restaurant you like.

Sure. Let's do that.

If Yeon Doo bullies you, tell me.

I'm higher than her in this family.

Ms. Oh doesn't seem like someone
who would bully others.

You're completely mistaken.

She made Tae Kyung cook jeon...

and stole geotjeori.

Also, she acts like she's all that
just because she's pregnant.

I've never told you this before.

What is it?

Her love life seems to be
very messy as well.

Her love life?

Yes. I saw her in the annex
the other day.

Some guy was sending her
these lovey-dovey texts...

saying he loved her and whatnot.

She got pregnant with Tae Kyung
just after one night.

Her private life
seems very suspicious.

I'll leave you two alone, Grandma.

Why are they having
a private conversation?

What if Ms. Jang ends up
getting more power than Chun Myung?

Chun Myung. I told Grandma
about the lunch reservation.

Yes. Of course, she said she'd come.

More importantly, you left
your schedule open tomorrow, right?

Let's go to a fortune teller
after lunch...

and ask whether we should side
with Grandma or Mother.

We have to, okay?

[Mom's Love for Pregnant Women]

Postnatal care center real review.

I'm organizing
a group purchase of baby products.

Raise your hands.

I had a fight with my husband.
Am I weird for being upset?

Were you looking
at childcare information?

Yes. I was searching
about anemia during pregnancy,

and I ended up there.

Thank you
for allowing me to come back.

I'll take good care of you
from now on.

Please treat me comfortably
like an employee.

You don't have to be
like that to me.

Just take care of the elders.

Yes. I saw her in the annex
the other day.

Some guy was sending her
these lovey-dovey texts...

saying he loved her and whatnot.

Don't you ever get
annoying messages?

Annoying messages?

Some ex-boyfriends
may contact you...

if they find out
you married into this house.

That kind of thing happens often.

That hasn't happened.

Even if it were to happen,
I can take care of that on my own.

What a relief.

If there's anything
you can't take care of, tell me.

That's my job.

Okay. I will.

How did you
get to know the person you met...

at the time of your accident?

They may contact you again.

I had an interview with him
because I was thinking of working.

An interview?

Wouldn't that be too tough
for a pregnant woman...

who was just in the emergency room
the day before?

The elders will worry too.

If I end up working, I'll tell them.

It hasn't been confirmed yet.

The call cannot be connected.
Please leave a message...

Don't tell anyone
that you saved her.

This will just make him
suspicious of me.

We'd like to tell you
that you did not pass the interview.

Thank you for applying.

Thanks to my daughter,
I could start a new day.

Jay?

If you meet Jay, you'll die.

Be careful.

No. If I'm gone,
what about Soo Kyum?

Who are you talking to right now?

How embarrassing.

I'll fail again.

I'll keep failing forever.

Is that you, Chul Soo?

You know the girl
at the convenience store?

Me getting a job?

Yes. You said
you weren't going back to the US.

You majored in this field,
and you have a good eye.

I am interested in the industry
your company is in.

Let's start you off as an intern
for three months...

and decide on a full-time position
after that.

I also need time
to verify your abilities.

Hey. I'm getting a call.

I'll think about it
and call you back.

Who is this?

Hello?

Why would you ask to meet in a park
instead of a cafe?

I don't have a job yet.
I don't have money.

I failed the interview
I worked hard to get because of you.

I don't want to spend money
buying coffee for you.

Are you okay with wasting your time?

Work harder at getting jobs
instead of blaming others.

Fine. Since I don't want to waste my time,
I'll ask you right away.

You photoshopped
those pictures, right?

What?

When I asked Mom whether there were
any secrets about my birth,

she scolded me so badly.

Are you sure Jay or Kay
or whatever actually exists?

Are you sure
it's not Deepfake or something?

Being this delusional is a talent.

What are you doing?

Look.

How could I photoshop
so many pictures?

Hey, pass.

- Oh, no!
- Gosh.

You see that big mole
on his back, right?

This is Jay's signature.

Look.

Where does he live?
Is Jay his real name?

I don't want to tell you.

Give me my phone.

Hey, catch.

What's wrong with you?

Have you never had
a girlfriend before?

What? I told you I was a father.

There's no way you have a daughter.

You can't even sit next to a girl.

Why are you showing me
a man's naked body like that?

Forget it.
It's no use talking to you.

Hey. Stop right there.

Watch out!

Hey. What are you doing right now?

Gosh.

Hey. You should take
your phone at least.

Gosh.

[Postnatal Care Center Real Review]

Gosh. This place
is like a new world.

I can find
any information I want here.

Is there a facility for single moms
I could go to urgently?

Yes, Mother.

I was just about to head up.

What? Grandmother?

She seems to have
very serious men issues.

I have so many doubts
about her private life.

Why did you ask to see me?

Are you hiding something from me?

What?

If you tell me now,
I'll forgive you.

I won't complain or scold you,
whatever the issue may be,

so tell me the truth.

What are you talking about?

Can you swear to the skies
you're not keeping anything?

If I must swear to the skies,

- then there is something.
- Okay, what is it?

While preparing
for the memorial service,

I imagined throwing
dried anchovies at your face.

You threw what at whom?

I apologize.

I couldn't stand how you kept
telling me to cook one at a time.

Not that!

You're getting sleazy texts
from another man.

Texts? What texts?

Oh, did Ms. Soo Jung tell you?

That was nothing. Shall I show you?

Here you go.

I kept them in case this happened.

No, get it out of my face.

I don't want to see
such disgusting things.

It's not at all like that.
Take a look...

No. Get it out of my face, I said.

Get out.

Okay, I'll get out. Calm down, okay?

My gosh. That was close.

What is she upset about?

What is she suspecting?

Yeon Doo.

What did she say?
Did she scold you again?

It was nothing at all.

She told me to try to get along
with the others.

Did you cook galbijjim?

It smells amazing.

Yes.

- You're home.
- Hello.

Tae Kyung.

Hang on.

What's this smell?

Hey, Tae Kyung.

Not again.

He didn't eat at all today.

Oh, dear.

Are you okay?

Grandmother, dinner's ready.

Okay.

Are you okay?

You were like this since yesterday.
Is it food poisoning?

I'll be fine
if I skip a meal or two.

I'll go to the annex and rest.

Tae Kyung, can I have a word?

What is it?

Your grandmother asked me earlier...

What are you two doing over here?

It's time to eat,
not whisper in secret.

Dinner's ready, so lead the way.

- I won't eat.
- What?

I let you come and go freely
and you won't eat?

Why do you always change your mind?

Okay, then.

I heard you didn't eat at all today.

Try some of this.

It's fine.

How dare you?

You're ruining our appetites.

You're acting like you're pregnant.

Are you sure it's not Couvade?

Can you not say that?

"Couvade?" What's that?

It's when a husband feels nausea
when his wife's pregnant.

A man has morning sickness?

That wasn't proven medically.

Until earlier,
I thought he had food poisoning,

but he retches at the smell of food.

There are lots of things
that weren't proven scientifically.

Mom, I don't have Couvade.
It's just a stomach bug.

- Director Cha.
- Yes?

Do fools who are duped into
marrying a woman...

with another man's baby
get morning sickness too?

Come on, Grandma.

What idiot would take
another man's baby for his?

A man would feel nauseated
because he believes the baby's his.

Wouldn't that make most sense?

Right?

It's just a stomach bug, isn't it?

- Yes, I'm just feeling...
- Tae Kyung.

Tell the truth.

- What?
- Tae Kyung...

- does have Couvade.
- What?

It's for real?

Yes.

For the past few days,
whenever I felt nauseous,

he showed the same symptoms.

He got so moody too...

that he cries and sniffles
as he watched dramas.

My gosh.

Tae Kyung sniffles and cries?

Yes.

I knew what it was,

but he was too embarrassed.

He has Couvade syndrome
of all things?

Gong Tae Kyung has Couvade?

This is really shocking.

Is it really Couvade?

Yes, it is.

What a devoted husband.

No wonder. He even takes selfies.

Tae Kyung,
you must love Yeon Doo a lot.

So Grandma,
you can stop doubting us.

As if I doubted you
or anything about you.

Ms. Soo Jung,
did you tell Grandma about...

the texts from my ex-boyfriend?

- What?
- Goodness.

You made me look like
a woman with lots of issues.

We did get pregnant
before we got married,

but I rely so much on Tae Kyung.

And I'm sure you can see
how much he adores me and Real.

- My gosh. Tae Kyung.
- Hey!

- That...
- That's how much.

My gosh.

Did you see the look on his face?

He was such a show-off...

and he wouldn't look at me.

I had such a hard time
trying not to laugh.

If I get pregnant,
will you feel nauseous too?

You bet I will.

Soo Jung.

We decided to quit IVF.

Right. Sorry, I forgot.

Shall we go
to the fortune teller tomorrow...

and ask about the baby again?

No. I'll say this again.

I'm done seeing you suffer.

Okay.

He has Couvade?

I'd only heard about it.

Statistics say that...

thirty percent of expectant dads
experience it at one time.

It's possible I will too.

I don't think you will.

Only men who are
close to their wives have Couvade.

You and I have
no love for each other.

We'll only have a baby together.

We might form a bond.

Wouldn't raising a kid
make us rely on each other?

I don't feel nauseous or moody.

I guess being pregnant
is no big deal for me.

Isn't it such a huge relief
that I won't have to rely on you?

Olive.

Escape your cold-hearted mom's
womb soon.

What?

I'm so tired.

What? I have Couvade syndrome?

You turned me into
a man with morning sickness?

How could you tell such a huge lie
without batting an eyelid?

What else could I do
when your grandmother suspected us?

I'm really sorry.

Even so, how could you
go with Couvade of all things?

What? I sniffle when I watch dramas?

How embarrassing.

How am I to face
the rest of the family now?

Come on. I'm apologizing, aren't I?

Apologizing isn't enough.

This won't be the end of it.

Hyun Woo will tell everyone.

And I'll have to pretend at work
that I have Couvade syndrome.

Unbelievable.

Darn it.

Mr. Gong.

What now?

You should take care
of your upset stomach.

Let me prick
the ends of your fingers.

Forget it.

See? You should listen to me.

But I said I was okay.

You shouldn't be treating a doctor
with a folk remedy.

Stay still, will you?

At this moment,
you're a patient, not a doctor.

You can't treat me with a remedy...

that hasn't been
scientifically proven.

Ms. Oh, wait!

See? Look at how dark
the color of your blood is.

Your stomach will ease up soon.

Whatever. Just untie the string.

Sure.

Being suspected by your grandmother
had me blurting out the lie.

I feel like
I'm turning into a huge liar...

which makes me uncomfortable.

Fine.

I'll let this one slide,

so three...

We'll just tolerate everything
for three months.

Thanks.

You won't be able to eat anything
at the office tomorrow,

so I'll cook you breakfast.

Good night, then.

No way.

Your stomach must be at ease now.

Aren't you grateful
that I pricked your finger?

It wasn't the finger-pricking.

I'm only feeling better
because it was about time I did.

Have the porridge since
I went out of my way to cook it.

Wait. That's mine.

I'm famished,
so stop striking up a conversation.

- This looks good.
- Yeon Doo, it's me.

Don't eat that
and pretend you're nauseated.

Just let me have one bite.

You can't.

Yes, Mother. I'm coming!

Hey, Tae Kyung.

What's with him?
Has he been retching again?

Gosh, no.

He had to be
at the clinic early today.

Goodness me.

I see you were having breakfast.

Hold on. He wasn't even able
to have some porridge.

Goodness.

My son isn't even able
to stomach porridge,

but here you are
eating all you want.

Sorry?

It's nothing.

I'm only kidding.

Real should be eating better.
It was only a joke.

Can I have a cup of tea?

Sure, Mother.

Tae Kyung wasn't interested
in marrying,

so it's fascinating to see
him suffering...

from a sympathetic pregnancy.

I'm grateful, Yeon Doo.

You and Real
added stability to his life.

You don't have to thank me, Mother.

It's not just him, though.
I'm fascinated by you as well.

When I didn't know
you were with Tae Kyung,

I was heartbroken to hear...

that the baby's father
wasn't in the picture.

It reminded me of myself
as a single mother.

I think it was back
when he was four.

I had a neighbor babysit
while I had work to do.

He started crying his eyes out
asking why he didn't have a dad.

That was after
he saw the father next door.

My thoughts
became twisted after that.

You know how parents
swing their kids...

while holding on to one arm each.

I hated the sight of it.

Having a baby
and raising it alone...

can be terribly lonely.

So I'm glad that Real
has Tae Kyung by its side.

Gosh, I've been babbling.

I should get going.

You don't have to see me out.

And take care of Tae Kyung.

- Sure, Mother.
- Right.

By the way, is your mother busy?

My mom?

Couvade syndrome?

Couvade syndrome?

Isn't that when the guy
has morning sickness?

I see. Tae Kyung
must be a devoted husband.

I'm grateful to know
that Yeon Doo...

is being adored.

Actually, Yeon Doo collapsed
a few days ago from anemia.

She collapsed?

What about Real?
Is the baby all right?

She collapsed? As in Yeon Doo?

- What's going on?
- Stop it.

I'm glad to hear that.

Yes, of course.
I'll see you in a bit.

Gosh, my heart.

Yeon Doo's fine. She's all right.

That was a close call for our Real.

I'm glad my cousin is all right.

Yeon Doo should've been careful.

And where was Tae Kyung
during all of this?

[Gong Obstetrics and Gynecology]

That was the first time
I saw Dr. Gong take a selfie.

But it was the worst selfie ever.

You should've seen it.

What's going on?

Good morning,
devoted husband Dr. Gong.

Why are you glaring at me?

I only relayed the facts.

I heard you also had mood swings.

Don't tell me you've been crying
in your office.

I heard you also took a selfie.

All men should experience
the Couvade syndrome.

Only then will they know
what women go through.

Tae Kyung, you're a role model,

so don't be embarrassed.

Call me if you feel queasy.

I'll prescribe you something
for the morning sickness.

Hello, Director Cha.

Something fun
must be going on around here.

Right, I guess.

I'm hungry.

I'm sure there's
an energy bar here somewhere.

Yes?

Sorry about that.

It's just that I heard
something funny outside.

Dr. Cha must've told you.

My mom begged for the story,
so he caved.

How's your stomach?
Are you feeling okay?

How can I be all right?

Women crave certain food...

even when they have
morning sickness.

Isn't there anything
you'd like to eat?

You're being mean again.

Have you forgotten
that I rescued your wife?

I should at least
be allowed to treat...

a devoted husband of a friend
to a meal.

Sure. Let's go.

For some reason,
I can stomach these.

Have your fill.

It's one
of your favorite restaurants.

I had my fill thanks to you.

Is Ms. Oh all right?

I hope the baby's also okay.

They are, and I owe it all to you.

They're both healthy.

That's a relief.

I stopped by the annex
to thank Ms. Oh.

The decision wouldn't
have been easy, so I'm grateful.

It was her decision,

so there's no need to thank me.

I hate to admit it,
but you two make a nice couple.

When did you two meet?

Why didn't I know about her...

when I know about
all the women in your life?

It's just pure curiosity.

There's no need to be tense.

There were many
unexpected encounters.

They surprised me as well.

I see.

It must be true that we all have
someone special out there.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Do you finally feel guilty
about what you did?

Careful.

Let's get going.
I should get back to my mom.

Sure. Thanks for the meal.

We should grab a meal sometime
with Yeon Doo.

Sure.

Hello, Mom.

What took you so long
to pick up the phone?

Sorry. I was wiping the table.

Where are you?

Hey, the garden of
your in-laws' house looks amazing.

Garden?

Mom!

Don't run. You should be careful.

- Mom.
- Gosh.

Don't be like a child.
You're going to be a mom.

I heard you passed out.
Are you all right?

How did you know?

Ms. Lee called me.

And she invited me over.

I heard Tae Kyung had
pregnancy sickness because of you.

Oh, right.

You should go in and say hello.
Let's go.

- Welcome.
- Hello.

Thank you for having me over.

It's my pleasure.

I promised I'd take good care
of Yeon Doo and the baby,

but I failed to keep my promise.

Please don't say that.
She looks so well.

I'm counting on you.

My gosh.

By the way, it's such a cute bag.

What's Old School?

I didn't finish school
when I was young,

so I go to school
to get an education.

They didn't want to call it
a school for the elderly,

so they came up with this nickname.

I want to study hard
and go to college.

My goodness. Why did you not tell me
about how amazing your mom was?

I also think my mom is amazing.

Come on. Stop it.

By the way, where's Grandmother?

She's in her room.

She has plans for lunch,
so she will go out soon.

Mother, Yeon Doo's mother is here.

She wants to say hello to you.

Okay. I'll finish this soon,
so have a seat.

Okay.

What are you doing?
Go get some tea for her.

Okay. I will.

- You should go.
- Okay.

Mother.

You don't have to come.
You should stay there with your mom.

Mom told me
to come here and help you.

Thank you, Mother.

I wanted to see my mom so much.

We should have her over often.

Tae Kyung and you should
visit her more often.

Okay.

Is she ignoring me or what?

You're reading a difficult book.

I guess you read a lot.

I should read to be a better person,
don't you think?

You are right.

I started studying a little late,

so when I finally learned to read,
I was really happy.

How can one live
without knowing how to read?

It's no different from a brute.

A brute? Is she saying I'm a beast?

I can't believe this.

I agree.

I was so frustrated
when I was illiterate.

So where do you learn
the petty lessons?

[Old School]

This is where I learn.
It's a school for the elderly.

Gosh, it's so embarrassing.

- Pardon?
- It's nothing to be proud of.

"A school for the elderly?"

Do they have no shame at all?
What's with that big logo?

What? This doesn't say
"a school for the elderly."

I thought you might
not understand English,

so I explained Old School meant
a school for the elderly.

I know. That's what I was saying.

Of course, I know...

Old School means
a school for the elderly.

I'm sorry.
I guess I was being sensitive.

I recently started a restaurant.

It sells braised chicken.
The food is delicious,

and we offer reasonable prices.

This is a flyer for my restaurant.

Please come and visit sometime.

It's 50 dollars and 70 dollars.

Why is chicken so expensive?

Braised chicken is a dish
enjoyed by ordinary people.

Ms. Eun.

Why are you staring at me like that?

You don't know how to read, do you?

What?

This isn't a flyer
for braised chicken.

It says 50 dollars for hair dyeing
and 70 dollars for a perm.

I got this flyer for a hair salon
in front of my school.

What... How...

Did you just deceive me?

That's not important.
Don't try to weasel out.

- You can't read.
- Keep it down. They will hear you.

What will you do
if I don't keep it down?

I will cover your mouth.

Go ahead and cover it.

How dare you... What?

What am I hearing?

My goodness.

Stop talking.

Gosh, Mother!

- Mom!
- Mother!

My goodness.

Gosh, she's so strong.

My gosh.
How could she be so vigorous?

I almost got k*lled...

My goodness.

[The Real Has Come!]

Please keep it a secret.

Only if you do as I say.

My dear, you're eating so well.

He and I are just friends.

There has been nothing between us.

Do I really have a child?

If you just stay still,
your child will find you.

Hee?

She got text messages
about love and everything...

from another man.

What are you guys doing here?

Let's make it clear.

It's not me who's uneducated.

It's you, Grandmother.
