Korean Drama: One Mom and Three Dads (아빠셋 엄마하나) Episode 2


Rating: Undecided Yet/10

(Note: I have decided to do this in parts since I can't watch all these episodes in one day. Therefore, I will not do a rating till I finish the series. I will update the posts later with the rating.)


This episode rating: 7/10

The second episode, starts off with a funny cartoon. The three best friends were dreaming that they were fighting animals (tiger, bear, snake) and they each seemed to be losing their fight. They wake up screaming... looks like a bad omen guys. xD (What are the chances those three would have the similar dreams?) They try to look on the bright side, they think the dream is good luck so they rush to go buy lottery tickets. Meanwhile, the couple go to the doctor's to find out "Congratulations! You are pregnant!" They are ecstatic! The loving husband is very extra careful with his wife and taking super good care of her. Its adorable and sweet. He takes off her shoes and socks. He even talks of taking days off so he can take care of his wife. He also does the housework and is basically like a slave for his wife. "As long as you're happy, I'm happy." (I want my future husband to be like that! xD)

His wife tells him he should go celebrate with his best friends. At first, he didn't want to because he doesn't want to leave her alone, but she convinces him to go. The guys get together and they talk about naming the kid. Then they land on a tangent and start conversing about how she got pregnant when the guy said he is sperm-less (not sure since I watched the Chinese dub version). His friends make him swear he didn't use their sperm... (Sorry guys, no such luck...). They party hard, got drunk, went to karaoke, and stayed out late.

The happy couple start planning for their future. "Daddy" starts making a wooden rocking horse. Mommy goes to buy maternal clothes. Even the best friends start contributing baby items, too. I think its sweet how close they all are.

One day, his father-in-law calls him and asks to speak with him. He lies and tells his wife that he has a business meeting. He drives off as she happily waves goodbye to him. (Could this be the day he gets into a car crash and leaves them forever? =S I dread that day, but how is the story supposed to progress without him leaving?) She is ironing his shirt when she realizes that it's getting cold. She calls her husband and tells him that the thermostat is broken and will be fixed tomorrow. Her husband is worried, no wanting her to be alone and be cold, he suggests that she goes over to his friend's house (Yes, the three stooges live together. How convenient.) He calls the cop, but hes at a stakeout. He calls the stock broker, but he is in a meeting. The manga artist is busy at work.

The cop finally gets home and lets her in, but she has a cold by then. It's so funny because she says "Sorry, but can you wash your feet please?" Being pregnant, she has developed a sensitive nose. In the bathroom, he is grumbling about how his feet don't stink. Then he lifts his foot and sniffs and says "ok... so maybe it is a little smelly" and goes back to scrubbing his feet. xD After returning, he realizes that she is sick, so he calls his mother. That convo was cute. The stock broker and the manga artist are shopping for groceries and bump into kids. They complain about how kids are annoying and the devil incarnate (haha... just you guys wait... >=) ) and that Na Young's child is going to be like that too so they will be doomed.

The three guys are so funny. They do not know how to do any housework or how to take care of people. They also argue with the pregnant woman. And they watch her eat like a pig.

We find out he lied to his wife because his father-in-law owes people money and she would kill him if he went to help her father. He doesn't seem very close to his daughter. He apparently abandoned her and her mother when she was little. How sad. On his way home on this rainy day, he calls his friends to check up on his wife. They confirm she is ok and the guys go to sleep while she already fell asleep on their couch. On his drive home, he has to take a detour and is making a U-turn when a truck hits him and he dies.

At the funeral, the cop is bawling saying, "What is Na Young going to do? It's unfair!" At the ashes ceremony, we are shown that the 4 guys grew up together under this tree. The couple even dated at this tree. It's sad that I feel like I'm on the verge of tears.

Everyone is having trouble dealing with his death. The guys are all driven to gloomily drinking. The mother is just sitting in bed in a daze. The baby narrates, "Mommy I'm hungry! Even though I keep giving her signals, mommy still seems to be depressed." The guys come over to check on her and find that she has let the house become messy. She starts sobbing about how she needs to do all these things: register her husband's death, cancel his cell service and bank stuff, etc. The guys say they will help and they begin helping her make food to eat. She sits there in a daze, not really wanting to eat. They feed her and try to convince her she needs to get herself together. The guys help clean out his office and his workshop. They go through all his stuff and find a CD he made for his child. They take a look and realize that their damn friend had used their sperm even though they told him not to (Yes, they couldn't really make up their mind, but in the end they still told him no but he used it anyways). They freak out and that's the end of episode 2. What will happen next?
