Plot

Working Mom revolves around the many difficult choices and tradeoffs working women make as they juggle career and family. Choi Ga-young is a successful career woman whose life turns upside down when she accidentally becomes pregnant with the child of her younger co-worker, the troubled but charming Park Jae-sung. Suddenly, she finds herself transformed into a full-time mom dealing with two rowdy little boys.

Determined to return to her glory days, Ga-young decides to start working again, but she has to leave her kids with someone. It would have been her mother, but she died a few years ago and now the only way is to persuade her father to get married again. At first, everything seems to be going smoothly, until Ga-young's plan takes a turn when her new stepmother refuses to take care of her step-grandsons. Thus, Ga-young's quest to win back her job and her husband (who is secretly having an affair with his colleague) begins.
