Two Mothers (Cuckoo Nest / Bbeoggoogi Doongji / 뻐꾸기 둥지)

Two Mothers

A surrogate mother?

Are you being serious?

I'm so mad right now, don't say anything else.

Calm down and sit.

There's nothing more to discuss!

Honey, listen to what she has to say.

You don't have to think

that there's any shame in using a surrogate.

By using your sperm and Yeonhui's egg,

you'd just be borrowing

the surrogate mother's womb.

No matter what anyone says,

that child would be yours.

It'd be part of the Jeong family bloodline.

Forget about what auntie said.

You don't have to think about it.

Hurry up or you'll be late.

Episode 3

Yeonhui hasn't called yet?

No.

Mom, please tell her

to just pack up and move out.

Hey, do what dad says and watch your tongue.

It's not like your sister and her husband

are on bad terms.

I know. That's what makes it so weird.

They're crazy in love,

but there's all this fuss over a baby.

Were they only after our family's wealth?

Baek Junhui, don't say that.

It's none of your business.

That family is really annoying.

So annoying.

Where are you going?

Mother.

Mother, come down to eat.

Go eat without me.

Don't be like that, just come down.

I don't want to.

Mother.

I'm willing to have a baby.

Auntie told me about it yesterday.

If that's what you want,

I'll do as you ask.

What did you just say?

So...

You'll hire a surrogate mother to have baby?

Yes, mother.

Yes, you made the right choice.

I know what you're going through.

But what choice do we have?

This is all for our own good.

Even if Byeongguk is hell-bent against the idea,

so long as you stand firm,

the family's bloodline will continue.

What are you talking about?

Are you crazy? Are you out of your mind?

- Honey. - Come with me.

Mom, we don't need a child.

So please stop.

Honey, don't do this.

Listen to what she says.

I said no.

Are we animals? Are we beasts?

Yes, I'm glad you brought it up.

Your mother is a beast alright.

A beast, a beast!

Mom.

A beast wants to have her own child.

Even the basest of creatures

wish to have their own offspring.

As a human being, is it so wrong to want

to have a grandson that takes after you?

Ask anyone on the street.

What's going on this time?

Mom.

It's not that I don't understand you.

But this isn't the right option.

Then what other options do we have?

Tell me.

What's your great plan?

If you have one, tell me now.

I'm not bringing in another woman

and we're not taking someone else's genes.

We're using your genetics to have a child.

This isn't just about me.

It's for your own good.

You got along great without a child

but how long do you think that'll last?

Children bind couples together.

Without them,

you never know when you'll split apart.

You didn't know?

Let us deal with our relationship.

It's none of your business.

Why not?

You're my son and my bloodline!

Mom!

Byeongguk, stop this and leave.

Cool off and talk about it later.

Huija, Huija.

You ungrateful brat!

You should be taking the lead.

You should've brought in a concubine,

and had three or four children.

Do you only see your wife's pain?

Do you not see your mother's?

Mother, please calm down.

He's just frustrated is all.

Please calm down and...

Be quiet!

Fine then.

Did I ever get to do what I wanted?

I only ever did as you asked.

Fine, let's do that!

I'll find a concubine and have four kids!

I'll do everything you ask!

But don't regret it later!

- Let's go. - Honey!

- Huija. - My chest.

Lie down.

What's the matter with you all?

Not a single peaceful day.

Huija...

Honey.

What's wrong with you? I said no.

Don't do this.

There's no other way now.

I don't need children.

All that matters is that we're happy.

I need it!

I want my own baby!

You know there's no other way now.

Even if we give up,

your mother can never give up.

If we keep stalling for time,

it'll only force us all to suffer even more.

I want my own child too.

I want a son who takes after you

and I want to be a mother.

So don't fight with mother.

It's not her fault, it's mine.

Even if I can't get pregnant,

the baby will have our genes.

We're just borrowing the surrogate's womb.

I've looked into it.

So don't worry.

Let's just do as mother says.

It'd be our baby.

A child that you and I made.

I want to stay as your wife,

and for us to be happy for a long, long time.

If a baby will make me,

you and mother happy,

I think that'd be a blessing.

So let's have a baby.

Huh? Honey?

Honey.

Nasty skanks.

They assaulted me over a few bucks?

I think I hurt myself real bad

while I was running away.

Chansik, can you rub my back?

I think I hurt my back.

Let me see.

Go easy on me.

Does it feel good?

Yes.

That feels great.

Yikes!

But Chansik?

Do you know what's going on?

What do you mean?

Why did Hwayeong tell us

that she was going to resign?

How would I know? I think she has a plan.

Why don't you use this smart brain?

Can't you make a decent hypothesis?

If I had to make a hypothesis,

I'd say she got a better job offer.

Right?

Of course. Otherwise, why would

she quit after just a few days of work?

Of course, of course.

- Chuja. - What?

Can you lend me ten bucks?

Hey, ten bucks?

Hey!

Instead of trying to make money,

why are you always scraping it off me?

Don't you have any shame?

I'll pay you back, okay?

You're breaking my heart.

Hey, there's no money around here

and my own brother is begging me for change.

Ow, my stomach.

If you were a stupid kid, I wouldn't complain.

But you were a whiz kid in school.

I hoped you'd be a big time judge by this age.
