Ep. 100
Sang-min and Min-joo come home with adopted baby girl. They all fuss over the new arrival. SM returns to work, and MJ and her mother settle the baby in upstairs in the nursery.
JY at work is in the coffee room to check in at home on her cell phone. Grandma assures her all is well with the baby and not to worry.
Next, Uncle Tae-young phones home to ask how his nephew is doing. He has to take a delivery himself, as all his messengers are out on calls. He's about to leave when MR calls him on his cell phone to say she wants a baby too & they should make one. He tells her disdainfully he won't have a baby w/ her until she grows up some and hurries off on his delivery.
At SM's office, 2 execs. come in for a meeting. They say they heard of the adoption and congratulate SM on it. They both praise him for adopting and for being open about it and not trying to hide it. Someone I was talking to about this scene said he thinks this was the YH people seizing an opportunity to promote adoption in Korean culture and encourage people not to feel shame about adopting, as there has been historically enormous stigma attached to adoption in Korean society.
Woon-kyu is at w/ housekeeper when SM calls to say they brought the baby home this morning. WK is not pleased and speaks rudely and angrily to his son. They hang up. The housekeeper urges him to cool down and gives him a cup of water, then returns to cooking. WK asks her if she has any children and she urges him to call her "Ms. Jo", not "ma'am".
She says she has a son who is a no-good brat and says children only bring trouble. She brings him a dish of food that looks like stringly seaweed and tries to get him to eat it. But he's in a sour mood from his phone call w/ his son and pushes the dish away, saying he has no appetite. They argue some and she leaves the dish of food on the table by him and returns to her work at the sink.
Young-joon is in a fancy restaurant with Grandma Sohn, celebrating her birthday. She sits there the whole time with a sour puss expression. YJ gives her a gift certificate for a spa and sauna. She's not happy and says if he really wants to do something for her, he can married and live happily. She says that's all she's ever wanted. They start arguing about all the same things over again, GS sounding like a harpy, broken record. YJ just sits there looking miserable and pained. It's an unpleasant dinner all around.
JY and her co-workers are at a bar, celebrating JY's return. JY appears to be making up for lost time for all those months she couldn't drink alcohol and really knocks a few back. They appear to be having a happy time.
JY is on the street walking alone after leaving the bar. She's walking at an easy gait, taking her time.
YJ is sitting alone in his car on the dark street. Car lights sweep across a face and we see a cab pull up nearby. JY gets out. She doesn't see YJ, but he sees her. He watches her silently as she walks up to her house and goes inside.
Inside, JY is glad to be home and to see her baby again. She speaks to him tenderly as she lowers him gently into his crib for the night.
At SM and MJ's house, the new baby wakes in the night crying. MJ jumps out of bed and turns on the light and picks up the baby. SM gets up too and they seem frantic -- and almost totally clueless -- as to why a newborn might wake in the night.
(Have these 2 lived in a cave all their lives?) They hit on the idea she might be hungry and MJ gets a bottle ready for her, then gives it to her. The baby quiets instantly as she takes the bottle hugrily. They smile, relieved to know she was only hungry. As the baby eats, SM suggests a name he's thought of for the baby: Yuna. MJ says she likes it.
A little later, the baby is crying and up again. They both get up again to tend to her. At breakfast, a tired-looking mom and dad come down to the table. MJ asks her mother if all babies wake up a lot at night and the mother says not all do. (Show me one who doesn't!) The mother offers to keep the baby in her room at night, but MJ declines this offer, saying she's the baby's mother now and will do all things a mother has to do. They announce the name they've selected for their new daughter: Yuna. Mother and Sun-joo approve the name.
Btw...SM says "yu" means "generous" and "na" means "silk" in Chinese.
Na-young is leaving school. She calls Woon-kyu to ask for Ki-hoon's family's home ph.#. WK tells her KH is due back today. NY is elated. She goes to the bus station to meet his bus. She waits a while, but a trip to the ladies' room causes her to just miss the bus pulling in. KH is 1st off the bus and hurries away. NY comes up, but they just miss each oher by a few yards. NY looks worried and very unhappy.
Grandma's in a store buying cans of baby formula. Young-man and Han-soo get the call from MR that the coast is clear for HS to come by with the replacement ring. She does come by w/ it and MR is admiring the ring delightedly when Grandma comes in unexpectedly. She figures out instantly what happened and asks HS to return home so she can talk to MR. They both know MR is busted!
Na-young is outside Woon-kyu's apartment building. She calls inside on her cell phone and tells WK she didn't see Ki-hoon at the bus terminal. He says she must've missed him because he's home now. WK calls KH out and tells him NY went to the bus terminal and is outside waiting for him. He urges him to go to out to her and give her a chance. KH is very surprised and pleased to find out NY went to the bus station to look for him and then come to his apartment. He rushes out to her w/ a big grin. She sees him and begins crying and hitting him, calling him a big jerk and saying how hurt she was that he wouldn't take her calls. He stands there grinning and asks is she's done hitting him. She nods, her face covered, still sobbing. He pulls her in his arms and holds her close, patting her and comforting her and apologizing. She cries while he holds her and he shows a happy smile on his face, knowing that she as much as he does. A very sweet scene.
Grandma admonishes TY and MR for deceiving her about the ring and trying to cover up by getting her parents to buy her a new one secretly. They are forgiven, but strictly warned. Back in their bedroom, TY chews out MR some more, but she's not too worried and is happy to have a new ring. She also tells TY she'll have a baby even if he doesn't go along w/ her willingly.
Young-joon at his office. He looks at his pen again and thinks of Ja-young.
At JY's office, everyone is finishing up for the day. One co-worker leaves, then JY says goodnight and goes out. As she walks out of her building, she's startled to see YJ, getting out of his car parked in front. She freezes, staring at him.
