Brilliant Legacy
Enjoy:)
The 5th Jin Sung Shareholders' Extraordinary Meeting,
with its agenda a no-confidence vote in the president, will now commence.
Episode 25
President, what is Director Park's son doing here?
Your father...
was about to stop breathing.
You just got here now?
How many did you get?
Twenty-seven.
Then that's 938 already!
Are we too late?
The voting process shouldn't have started just yet.
Let's go quickly!
Then, let's start the voting process.
Wait!
What is it?!
We are the representatives of Jin Sung's employees.
Please spare me a little time.
I have 900+ Jin Sung employees' petitions and signatures from the 135 who own stocks.
Let's just continue with the voting.
Since they represent our employees, let's hear what they have to say!
Yes, let's hear it!
Let's hear it!
938 employees, more than 80% of Jin Sung's workforce.
To help relieve our company of its financial stress,
they have agreed in writing to take a 30% paycut for the next six months.
These...
are the dividends of the employees who own our shares,
and who oppose the removal of the president.
This might not be much, but they are the hearts of 135 employees.
Some employees even put off their weddings or sacrifice their retirement funds.
Please take into consideration the hearts of these people,
and rethink your decision to remove President Jang as president.
She's a president whom the employees want and love.
I'm begging you!
Please reconsider this!
Let's start voting!
Then, we shall commence voting.
Congratulations, President!
Yes!
Congratulations, President!
Everyone, thank you, too! Thank you!
President, congratulations!
Yes!
Everyone, thank you, thank you!
Both of you... Both of you saved me!
Thank you!
How could it end up like this?
How could this happen?!
How could you stab your father in the back,
and betray your own father?!
I'm sorry, Father.
You bastard!
Do you know what you just did?
Because of a girl, because of a wench, you betrayed your own father!
It wasn't because of Eun Sung.
I was ashamed.
The moment I saw Hwan and Eun Sung, I felt ashamed.
Although I felt I could not betray you or see you being ruined,
but at that moment, I knew...
that I...
would become someone living in shame all my life.
I shouldn't live like that, Father.
I can't go on living that way.
How can I live in self-disdain?!
You've already killed your father!
Father, I think I saved you!
What?!
Leaving behind the countless people who loved Grandma,
you alone ran to the edge of the cliff, Father.
I had my difficulties...
Then I didn't have any?
Pain, agony... I've gone through everything!
But even then I had to do it!
You!
Let's go to the factory first. I want to see the employees.
Let's go next time, Grandma. Today has been nerve-wracking for you.
You still can't overexert yourself.
Elder, you didn't sleep at all last night.
I'm only going for a short while.
I have enough energy. Let's go to the factory.
Eun Sung, you've worked hard.
Not at all. I didn't do much actually, Grandma.
Let's meet up sometime. I'll call you.
Sure.
Hwan, aren't you getting into the car?
The number you're calling is currently unavailable. Please leave a message...
Yes, yes. Thank you.
Our president... does not need to step down!
Really?!
The no-confidence vote was defeated by a narrow margin.
That's wonderful!
What happened...?
That can't be...
Wasn't removed?
Seung Mi, did you hear it wrongly?
It's because it isn't possible!
I'm hanging up.
No... What's she saying?
She wasn't removed?
The number you're calling is currently unavailable. Please leave a message...
If Grandma is not removed as president at the shareholders' meeting tomorrow,
this document will be revealed to the public.
Are you threatening me now?
Grandma always said that employees are like family.
This time they really did show their loyalty!
So, it was Hwan who saved Mother?
Hwan, how did you ever think of convincing all the employees?
I didn't do it alone.
The employees at the second branch...
and Go Eun Sung who initiated the idea.
All the employees were mobilized and everyone did it together.
The employees gave their hearts and...
Hwan and Eun Sung merged those hearts as one.
Both Hwan and Eun Sung have accomplished something great.
Eun Sung was afraid losing the management rights...
would mean the company can't belong to her, so she worked hard!
It's not like that!
Oppa, why are you raising your voice to defend Eun Sung?
Yeah.
What's Eun Sung to you?
What?
Hey, that isn't it, right?
How can it be?
Grandma, I'm going out for a while.
Where to?
I have to thank the employees at the second branch.
I'm going.
Hello?
Oh, Mr. Oh, so what happened?
You found the accounts record?
What is she doing, not even answering her phone...
I thought you wouldn't come here until tomorrow.
Didn't you say you were sending the president home?
I only came over after sending Grandma home.
I wanted to convey my thanks right away.
We did it to protect our president, not to help Sun Woo Hwan's grandmother.
There isn't a single reason for me to accept your thanks.
Manager, you know you don't have to be so harsh sometimes?
That's my charm. My wife said so.
Hyungnim! Congratulations!
Where is the supervisor?
Supervisor Go didn't come here?
Didn't both of you come together?
Oppa must have had a hard time, right?
Did you even need to ask?
He stabbed his father's back with his own hands.
Oppa's expression back then in the conference room...
I can't forget it.
Honestly speaking, if I were him, I couldn't have done that.
Knowing my father will be fired from the company and yet I stand on the righteous side?
Do you think you could have done it if you were him?
That's why I said you should have waited before letting him know how you feel.
You weren't going to Hwan, so why did you have to push him away like that?
I did it for Jun Se Oppa's good.
Did you really do it for Jun Se and not to be by that person?
You know it isn't like that.
I feel sorry for Jun Se, that's why.
It's natural to think about the person you like when you're weary and need comforting.
Geez, shouldn't have found the house for you.
Because of that, you got to know Grandma and that fellow...
What are you talking about?
Found the house for me?
I guess there's no more reason to hide it, right?
That Bu-am-dong house of yours.
If not for Jun Se, you couldn't have rented it.
What?
This is Park Jun Se.
It's me, Yoo Seung Mi.
What happened?
Just like you heard,
my son voted to give up his rights.
That's why I'm asking how that could have happened?
If the president wasn't removed, he knew what would happen to his father.
As a son, how could he stab his own father in the back?
I don't know my son anymore.
Are you serious?!
This was such a huge matter.
Before going ahead, you should have urged him ten or even a hundred times!
I didn't lose to Jun Se.
I lost to President Jang.
The past thirty years of her life.
She sure didn't waste them away.
Then...
what's going to happen now?
Sung Hee, you have nothing to do with this matter.
Whatever the punishment, I will shoulder it alone.
I will cover everything up for you, Sung Hee,
so don't you worry about that.
A person whom you want but can't have.
I don't want her to be disappointed again.
Sung Hee.
You didn't see me as a man when you entrusted everything to me. Good for you.
Have a seat.
Seung Mi, the incident where you threatened me with my dad's accounts.
I won't tell anyone,
so drink up and leave.
Just to say this, you cried without even hanging up your handphone, right?
You're really not going to tell anyone?
I won't.
But why won't you tell?
Because you're afraid I might hand that over to the police?
Because if Hwan Oppa finds out, he'll go to Eun Sung about it?
You got both wrong.
There's no need to say anything, so why should I say?
What are you saying?
Seung Mi, you don't intend to release those documents,
and Hwan's heart is already with Eun Sung.
So what's the use of embarrassing you even more?
As the days pass, can you still breathe normally?
Before you can't breathe anymore,
why don't you let it all out?
About what?
Persisting stubbornly is foolish.
You'll only regret it.
Regret...
is when you have a choice.
It's what you say when you make the wrong decision.
Jun Se, I know you think how foolish I must be.
I know Eun Sung pictures me as someone so scary.
How disappointed Hwan Oppa must be in me...
No...
How much this has distanced him from me...
I'm nervous...
and scared.
But I can't do anything about it.
How can I let everything out?
It's not something I can say.
So I...
am going to just stay like this,
not doing anything.
From now on, I can't call Oppa anymore.
When I'm missing him,
I can't go and see him either.
How good it will be if I don't have to wake up tomorrow.
I fell asleep with that thought.
But when I wake up, the first thing I think of...
is Oppa.
Now you're telling me to give up on him?
If Hwan Oppa was a person I could give up,
Mom, do you think I'd have gone to that extent?!
Mom...
Seung Mi.
My, where did you go drinking...
Mom, my mom...
What's wrong...
I'll make you some honey water.
How much should I confess?
Oppa left it to me to take care of it.
Should I tell them about Dad's life insurance...
or should I tell them he's still alive?
Oh, right, there's more...
Eun Woo, too...
Enough!
You're drunk, get up.
Go to your room, get up.
When you were at your wit's end, he helped you back on your feet again.
Ah, you have your brother's picture, don't you?
Hand me one, let's make some flyers.
- Whose idea was this? - Someone clever.
Just think of me as an oppa who dropped from the sky.
Oh, Hyung!
Hyung, what's wrong with you?
Did something happen?
Why have you been drinking so much lately?
The company's image should improve very soon, right?
There's news about you, too.
"President Jang's grandson, Mr. Sun Woo."
"In order to defend his grandmother's management rights,"
"he rushed back home despite his studies overseas."
Weren't you forced to disrupt your studies overseas and got dragged back here?
What are you saying...
I rushed back home to defend my grandmother's management rights.
Bring Eun Sung home after work.
Eun Sung?
Who could that be?
For coming so early in the morning, I apologize.
Come in.
Have a seat.
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
For making that difficult decision yesterday, I thank you.
I can't imagine the tears you must have shed standing at the crossroads.
Please forgive my father, Grandma.
Although he does things differently from you,
to my father, Jin Sung...
was also his everything.
That's why he made such a foolish choice.
Please allow my father to leave the company quietly.
Park Tae Su, you rotten scoundrel.
Your son has been raised very well.
Mom, so what will happen now to Director Park?
What else? He has to be reported and jailed!
Wouldn't Jun Se Oppa be so pitiful?
He caused his own dad to be jailed.
Regardless of what Jun Se did,
we can't just let Director Park get away scot-free like that.
Min Suk had so much faith in him. How could he betray his friend's mother?
Looks like I have to give up on Jun Se Oppa now.
Both households will be at loggerheads. We'll just be like Romeo and Juliet!
Romeo and Juliet?
Those two people were in love, okay?
Even if it's one-sided love, why does it have to be the son of our traitor?
Mom...
If not for Jun Se, things would have been difficult.
But didn't you persuade the shareholders by convincing the employees to get together...
It was Jun Se who let himself be persuaded.
Was that so?
Did you meet Eun Sung yesterday?
No.
Talked to her on the phone?
I wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone.
How can Hyung make others worry about you?
She must have worried a lot about you yesterday.
And also...
Thank you.
I don't want to hear you thank me,
because it was my father who committed the wrong first.
I apologize on his behalf.
You're always acting cool, Park Jun Se.
You're arguing with me again?
In a split second you can move people.
That's why I hate you so much,
because you're too good...
I...
envy you because you speak your mind without considering the consequences.
I was envious before...
and am even more envious now.
The president has come to work.
Can you take this to my car?
Are you leaving just like this?
Thank you for everything all this time.
I'm going to surrender now.
You're playing a one-man band?
Though you've failed, you have no regrets, is that it?
For everything I've done,
I will accept any kind of punishment.
Punishment?!
You fool!
The punishment you should have gotten,
Jun Se already shouldered it on your behalf.
What kind of child has to drag a parent out of a crime?
And you call yourself a parent?
You've bruised your child's heart.
How can you do something so horrible to hurt your child?
For Jun Se's sake, I'm letting you go scot-free.
Return the company's funds.
For the company to have expanded so much,
I know your efforts have been tremendous.
I couldn't have done it alone.
President...
You've worked hard all these years. You may go.
Sun Woo Hwan is reporting for work!
How's the president?
She's returning to work today.
I see the "master" isn't here yet.
Hyungnim's "master" isn't here yet, but our manager is, though.
What?
Hyungnim, although you always get "Go Joo-im-nim" right,
why can't you say "joo-in-nim" properly?
That's called a slip of the tongue.
A slip of the tongue?
You treat her subconsciously as your "master."
Somewhere along those lines?
Why don't I see her?
Jun Se Oppa still hasn't come to work?
Went out again? Where?
Nobody knows where he went?
Hyung's all right, so don't worry.
He came to our house this morning.
Jun Se Oppa went to your house?
Hye Ri, I'm hanging up. I'll talk to you later.
What did Oppa go to your house for?
Did he go there to beg?
For his father?
That's right.
How is Oppa?
Did he look okay?
He looked fine!
Grandma...
and your family.
Did they not scold him?
You're crying now?!
What is he to you that you should cry?
Is he someone that important to you?
It's as if he jailed his own father.
How hard it must have been for him.
If it's hard on him, then Jun Se should cry. Why are you crying?!
Don't cry!
Don't cry for Jun Se in front of me!
It's because my heart hurts!
So you want to know what kind of person he is to me?
He secretly lent me rent, helped me move, made mandoo for me.
He made flyers of Eun Woo and helped me distribute them.
If I fell sick,
he would secretly deliver milk for me and cook for me.
He lent a listening ear when I needed one.
He was always there for me every time.
When things got too overwhelming and tiring,
he was someone who helped without complaining.
Someone like him is in such a situation now, how can I not be hurt?
Is that so?
He was that important?
Grandma wants you to come over once you finish work.
What?
Moving, mandoo, flyers,
and even milk delivery?
Why has he done so many things?
Jun Se Hyung, really...
No... Why do I have to make food for Eun Sung?
It's for a guest who has been invited by our elder.
As long as Mother's will exists, I'll never believe her!
Rather than regretting it later, apologize when Eun Sung comes.
Apologize? Apologize for what?
When Yoo Seung Mi and her mother came, you slapped her!
Oh... that time. That was because she deserved it!
She lied to our entire family!
She deserved to be hit?!
No matter what, violence is always wrong.
"Don't Even Hit with a Flower." (famous Korean book)
Well, I, too... don't think it was right for me to hit her.
Then you can just apologize later.
Must I really apologize?
Don't regret it in future, just apologize.
The last time you left the house without heeding my words, didn't you regret it?
That...
"Although you leave on your own accord, you can't return with such freedom."
That?
Yes.
Oh no... I should have held it in!
I'm going to get gochujang. Please flatten the deodeok.
Where is the deodeok?
No...
No... Why am I saying "yes" to everything he says?
Come over here.
Why should I?
Come here.
I did one.
One... Did what?
Just sit.
Your legs must be hurting.
How do you do?
Oh... yes...
You're here.
Hello.
Where's Grandma?
She's in her room.
Um... about that time...
About... this...
I was a little harsh...
I'm sorry.
Yes.
You're here?
As you all know, I have an illness.
Little by little, things will start to change.
I'll make more mistakes...
and my memory will deteriorate.
Grandma, didn't you say your illness is not serious because it's only the early stages?
Didn't you get us all fooled?
Even then, I don't have a lot of time.
Your hard work gave me time to organize the company,
so it's time I do that.
Is everything going to end so quickly?
All of you...
still remember the conditions of my will?
Because Eun Sung raised the second branch's revenues by 20%, she is now eligible.
Eun Sung, from next week you'll be at our head office learning to manage the company.
Has Grandma's illness suddenly gotten worse?
Sun Woo Jung!
It's because she's saying such things.
My thoughts haven't changed even once all this time.
Mother, this girl...
behaves like this because she's seen you before.
That's not true!
Have you forgotten what Sung Hee and Seung Mi said?
Didn't they say they showed her photos of you and Hwan before?
Did you witness them showing my photo and Hwan's to Eun Sung?
No...
Then did you see me when I first met Eun Sung?
Of course I didn't.
Then why...
do you insist that she approached me because she knew who I was?
Didn't Sung Hee say she showed Eun Sung the photo?
And she even lied to us so much!
That's just you believing your friend's words.
Grandma, are you saying you believe her?
All of you...
believe the people whom you want to believe.
I will follow my intuition.
Eun Sung, pack your bags and move back here again.
Mother, hold on, hold on... Hold on a moment!
I'm sorry, but will you all hear me out first?
I've said this before to Grandma and all of you at the hospital.
I won't accept it.
Grandma.
I'm confident I can do small tasks well,
but I'm really not confident about managing the company.
I know a company isn't all about money,
it's also about sacrifice and responsibility.
I'm not that capable, and I'm scared.
I don't have the confidence that I can live like you.
I'm thankful,
and I'm sorry.
You... Do you really mean it?
Yes.
So Grandma,
that will... Please quickly revoke it.
Hey!
But if you weren't even interested in inheriting Grandma's company,
why did you work so hard?
That's because Grandma's management rights would be snatched away otherwise.
Eun Sung, follow me in alone.
You...
When you told me you wouldn't accept the inheritance last time,
wasn't it to resolve the misunderstanding?
From the beginning,
I was already hesitating about it.
Eun Sung...
I really want you to succeed me in my career.
I'm sorry, Grandma.
I really don't have the confidence.
If that's the case,
then I don't have a Plan B!
Other than me, there are definitely other choices out there.
Your grandson has already wised up,
and there are also people in your company who share your perspectives.
It's obvious from what happened this time...
how much your employees love and treasure this company.
I mean...
Why refuse money?
If it was just about the money, why would I refuse?
It's the company.
From this recent incident, I've become even more certain...
that I don't have the confidence to love the employees the way you do.
I only want to do what I'm passionate about,
and live a simple and peaceful life, Grandma.
Because of the fight over my will,
you must have lost your spirit.
I'm sorry.
Then from now on, how do you plan to live?
If I manage to raise the second branch's revenues,
you promised you would definitely help me find Eun Woo.
I believe in that promise.
It's time I start planning for my future.
Then...
are you even planning to resign from the company?
Although Grandma's company is a good place,
I changed the career path of my dream without telling my dad.
Culinary research?
Yes.
It's Korean Fusion Cuisine.
I'm leaving, you go on in.
You're really not going to accept Grandma's inheritance?
I've already said that I won't.
Then what will you do?
Give me a second.
Oh, Hye Ri?
Eun Sung, Jun Se just came into the restaurant.
Oppa came over?
I got it, I'll go over right now.
Go.
Go and comfort Jun Se Hyung.
Didn't you say you troubled him a lot?
Then you should go repay him.
Go, I'll send you there.
There's no need, I can go alone...
No, no!
Aigoo... I ate too much. I should be running to the bus stop.
This rockhead!
It's so difficult to even follow her...
Save me, Eun Sung!
Save me!
Why did you make me worry like that?
What have you been doing all alone the past two days?
How old am I that you have to worry so much about me?
How can I not worry after you've been through such a major situation?
Oppa.
Why do you keep making me feel sorry towards you?
Why are you sorry?
I had no other choice, so I had to do it.
Someday my dad will also understand.
When you're in a dilemma, you should tell me,
or let me drink with you.
You helped me whenever I felt weary. When you're weary, why don't you ask for help?
I, too, want to help you with something.
Have you been drinking the past two days?
Have you eaten?
This is getting boring, Eun Sung. Let's just stop here.
What?
I, Park Jun Se, am a man with pride.
Don't show me your sympathy.
How is this sympathy?
Weren't you there for me when I was down?
Having someone beside you when you're down is very comforting.
Eun Sung.
The things I do for a girl I like,
I don't want them returned to me as a form of repayment.
Oppa...
I did those things for you, because I like you.
I won't expect anything in return,
so don't feel burdened.
Happy birthday!
It's my birthday?
It's delicious.
Let's go shopping after work. I'll buy you some clothes.
I have so many clothes, there's no need.
Then, what about shoes?
Ah, you must have some prior engagements today?
Yes...
Supervisor Go, you're serious, right?
Although I'm submitting my resignation to the president,
I'll let you know first.
Then you'll be able to transfer an employee over or hire a part-timer.
I don't understand what it's all about.
Can I ask you the reason?
It's just that it's the right time.
I've already finished my work here.
Then, are you still going to stay until we find your replacement?
Of course I have to, but please find someone quickly.
Manager.
Isn't today my payday?
Sun Woo Hwan, I see you've become like a regular salaryman,
even remembering your payday.
I've deducted your pay for the period when the president was warded.
How can you do such a thing?
I was there to look after my grandmother.
Here we base salaries strictly on one's punch card.
How much can a part-timer make?
Here, the borrowed money...
50,000 won?
My pay was docked when Grandma was in the hospital.
I'll give you the remainder next month.
Since there's only 23,000 left,
just give me 18,000 more.
I said I would give you next month...
I won't be here anymore next month, give it all to me now.
What are you saying?
Spill it...
What are you thinking right now?
You're going to stop working here?
Why stop?
Anyway, when the sales volume increased,
I was already going to quit.
But the situation now is different from back then.
Grandma and I no longer misunderstand you!
That isn't why I'm quitting the second branch.
I'm not going to accept Grandma's inheritance either,
so I don't have a reason to stay here anymore.
Now, I want to do the things I want to do,
learning cuisines and other things.
Then what's going to happen to us?
Didn't I ask you to wait?
Didn't I tell you to stay beside me?
If I wait,
what will change?
Can the two of us be together?
Can we love?
Do you really think we can do that?
Don't give excuses.
You're running away.
Is it because of Jun Se Hyung?
Everything Jun Se has done, I'll do it, too.
I'll repay everything Jun Se Hyung did for you, nothing less than that!
Jun Se Oppa isn't the only one standing between us!
I've told Seung Mi!
What did you say to her?
My feelings for you, that I know the truth,
I said it all.
To Seung Mi?
I have a debt towards Seung Mi,
so I need to give her time.
So trust me and wait!
Eun Woo...
Our Eun Woo...
How could this...
Yes.
Meet me right away.
Why do you randomly call someone and ask them out?
I'm not feeling good right now.
Come out right now!
What is the matter that you have to call a sick person out?
I...
am going to confess.
What?!
I'm telling you this in advance so that you can make preparations.
You're going to confess?
Eun Sung...
lost our Eun Woo.
You didn't know?
Even when she lost Eun Woo, Eun Sung didn't call you?
No, she didn't.
I didn't know.
No, she would have.
She didn't!
I said she didn't!
So,
you're going to confess to get your name back, then look for Eun Woo?
Of course!
Our Eun Woo...
can't find his way home.
Eun Woo, Eun Woo!
A child who can't care for himself is wandering on the streets alone!
Just let me handle that, let me...
Eun Sung's looking for him, too.
What can you do after reclaiming your name?
If you turn yourself in and get your name back,
they'll take away everything from me, then I can't help you anymore!
Because I can't trust you anymore,
so I'm going to confess.
What did you say?
Eun Sung's friend.
Lee Hye Ri. Have you found a way to contact her?
Didn't I tell you before? She emigrated!
Hye Ri...
is an orphan.
You... Why are you trying to prevent me from meeting Eun Sung?
You're really something.
Just because I didn't find her friend's contact,
you call it me trying to prevent you two from meeting?
So, you decide to confess and I have to prepare to return all the money?
No matter what you say, I'm going to confess so...
Don't force me like that!
You're always pushing me towards the edge of the cliff.
Do you think I'll simply endure it?
That we're in such a situation, whose fault is it?
Who wants to confess?
It was you who started this, do you realize?
Ramyun, ramyun...
Ramyun Hyung, ramyun is delicious!
Piano, Hyung isn't in the mood to eat ramyun now.
Hyung's insides have boiled up because of Spy,
so he can't eat anything hot.
Have you been well all this time?
Hyung Sun Woo Hwan's life journey has been very eventful.
Hyung likes Spy.
Let's not talk about Spy anymore.
You must date only obedient girls, understand?
Spy is really disobedient!
Oh, Seung Mi?
Oppa, today's my birthday.
Oh, it's your birthday...
I forgot...
Oppa, I have something to tell you.
Can we meet for a while?
Something to say?
I'm now at Young Suk's bar. Can you come over?
Alone?
Yes...
Got it, I'll go meet you now.
Why don't you play it one more time?
What's wrong with you today, really?
He's already played it a few times. You still want him to play?
I don't know. I just want to hear it.
Chocolate milk.
If I play the piano, you said you'll buy me chocolate milk.
One who doesn't keep his promise is a bad person.
Chocolate milk?
This kid really has a good memory.
Tomorrow's a day off. Want to play with me?
I don't even know when it all started.
Because of that person, I'm smiling, crying, and hurting.
I'm leaving. Take care.
Go Eun Sung won't be working here after today.
Last night she handed in her resignation and left.
Eun Sung!
