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

I wanted to make plans and meet up, Episode 17

I wanted to make plans and meet up,

but we're meeting at the last minute.

I know.

I didn't have any appointments today.

If you said that

you had cancelled your appointment for me,

I would've been so happy.

Oh, is that right?

I'll pour you a drink.

Thank you.

So what is it you wanted to talk about?

Let's drink first.

President Baek, will you

treat me as you do your own daughters?

My daughters.

My own daughters, you say?

Since you're younger than my eldest daughter.

I guess it's alright.

What is this about?

Oh, President Baek.

You re a lot more impatient than you look.

Of course, I'd like to ask for advice on

business from a talented and

famous individual, as yourself.

But before I do,

I think we should become closer.

You still have a lot to learn.

Pardon?

Do I seem that easy to you?

I always place my

objective reasoning first over personal feelings.

In the cold battlefield of business,

that's how you're able to survive.

All human relationships are about business.

And you want me to treat you like a daughter?

Those rules apply between parents and

children, too, and that's my creed.

Sir, what I had meant was...

Do you know what my nickname is?

It's viper, a mamushi.

I revel in my nickname.

Let me pour you a drink.

So you're nickname is "viper"?

Fine, I'll show you how a viper

meets its demise.

Yeonhui, you should eat up.

Women who are too skinny aren't attractive.

I prefer plumper women.

Why did you say that to me earlier?

Oh goodness.

You're still dwelling on that?

I told you I didn't mean anything by it.

It's nothing at all.

The Yu Seongbin I know wouldn't say

something without meaning anything by it.

Tell me.

It's really nothing at all.

I didn't mean anything by it.

Seongbin.

Tell me why you said that.

Seongbin!

Do you know a woman named Grace Lee?

Grace Lee?

Your husband, Jeong Byeongguk, is rumored

to be having an affair with her.

But I don't know if that's true.

And because it's not for sure,

I thought I had made a mistake by telling you.

And I didn't want to go into the details.

Where did you hear it from?

Well...

No, forget it.

I'm sure it was a misunderstanding.

I was just worried about you.

Don't worry. I trust my husband.

He would never cheat on me.

Seongbin.

I'm happy now.

I know, Yeonhui.

Is it okay for me to be happy?

You won't think badly of me, will you?

Yeonhui.

There are times when I question

whether it's okay for me to be happy.

Do I have a right to be happy?

No one else may know, but you know why

I'm thinking this.

You know about my past.

I know.

But it's great to see you so happy.

I'm envious, even jealous.

So don't think such things.

You deserve to be happy, Baek Yeonhui.

Have confidence.

Forget about Donghyeon.

I've forgotten him.

I've erased him from my mind.

I can't even remember his face anymore.

Or when his birthday is.

Or even the date we first met.

Or the day of his death.

I didn't mean to forget.

I just forgot naturally.

I had loved him so much, but I started to forget.

I hate myself for being so shameless.

But I'm so scared and concerned that

people might find out about my past.

I'm a really terrible person, Seongbin.

Really terrible...

Is it okay for me to go on like this?

Yes.

You're doing well.

Why isn't she picking up?

The person you are trying to reach is not...

Honey.

Why are you home so late?

I told you I'd be coming home late.

I had an appointment. Is Jinwu in bed?

All you care about is Jinwu. What about me?

Shh! You'll wake up the family.

I went to your shop to treat you to dinner.

What is that on your chest?

Is it a diamond?

Diamond?

It was a gift.

A gift? From whom?

A friend.

Are you talking about Mr. Yu

who works at your father's firm?

You're lucky to get a gift from a guy.

Yes, I'm lucky.

Stop meeting with him.

Now that you're married, stop seeing him.

But Seongbin and I go way back.

Whatever!

Hello?

It's me.

Why couldn't I reach you?

Why? Did you miss me?

Tell me that you missed me.

Then I'll go see you right away.

Oh, really?

It's a little late.

See you tomorrow.

Jinwu, say "Ah".

No, I want my mom to feed me.

Okay, Jinwu. Here you go.

You should eat well to grow up strong.

That's good.

Why did you get home so late last night?

I'm sorry, mother. I had an appointment.

You're a mother.

You should've come home early.

Come on, mom.

You didn't say anything

when Byeongguk stayed out all night.

Be quiet.

Men and women are different.

Yeonhui works, too.

What are you saying?

This is sexual discrimination.

If I report it to the labor ministry,

you'd be in big trouble.

Jeong Yumi, stop it.

If you keep that up...

Byeongguk.

How is the deal With Lasar going?

Grace Lee still hasn't made a decision?

We'll sign the contract soon.

It's taking longer than I thought.

Who is Grace Lee?

Huh?

The Lasar assistant manager from the States.

You should take more interest

in your husband's work.

Do you know how important she is right now?

This is really delicious.

You should try some. It's so tasty.

They should sign the contract already.

Why are they stalling?

I'm so nervous.

Byeongguk?

What happened to the deal with Lasar?

You said it'd go well.

It will go well.

So why is it taking so long?

I'm going mad.

It'll be over soon.

It'll go well.

It'll go well

Do you know Grace Lee?

Byeongguk.

How is the deal with Lasar going?

Grace Lee still hasn't made a decision?

Grace Lee?

Honey, who is Grace Lee?

Can you tell me more about her?

Huh? Why?

Mother said that
