Hundred Year Inheritance
[Episode 40]
So the two mothers are childhood friends.
I think our kids were meant to be together.
I agree.
I wasn't sure if I should tell you I'm her mother.
I kept it back since I didn't want you to have a bias toward her.
What are you talking about? That's absurd.
Why don't you say anything?
I'm kind of surprised Choonhee is her mother.
Are you okay?
Yes.
I'm fine.
I'm sorry for not telling you earlier.
Please don't get me wrong.
I'm grateful to have such a fine young man as my grandson-in-law.
He has many shortcomings.
Don't say that. He is Korea's most eligible bachelor.
If I may get it straight,
...our family is not as well-off as your family.
But Chaewon is a daughter that I can be proud of.
I guarantee.
Oh yes.
Honey...
I have a bad headache. I think I must get going now.
She looks unwell. Take her to a hospital.
Okay.
Mom.
It happens. She has hypotension and anemia.
My apologies.
That's okay.
Her health is more important than this.
Don't worry about us and please get going.
We'll arrange an occasion again.
Excuse us for leaving first.
Chaewon, go after them.
Okay.
Whom the gods love dies young.
She has beauty but poor health.
Stop the nonsense.
Let's go.
Yes, Father.
Was she shocked because Chaewon is my daughter?
Was it that shocking?
Why don't you go see a doctor?
I took medicine. I'll feel better after a sleep.
Get me some water.
Okay.
Are you sure you'll be alright?
Yes. Leave me alone. I need some sleep.
Alright. We'll let you sleep.
How is this possible? Choonhee as my in-law?
No way.
Have some water.
What's the story?
Excuse me?
How did she become your mom?
Oh. I lost my mom in my childhood.
My dad recently married her.
Really?
I didn't imagine you'd know each other.
Can you leave me alone?
Yes, Mother. I'll let you rest.
I can never let them marry.
I must stop them by all means.
Are you already home?
Mrs. Yi was sick, so we parted without having dinner.
Solju was sick?
I need to get some rest.
Yes, Father.
Did Keeok have lunch?
Yes. A little.
Did she get lovesick or what?
What do you mean?
She doesn't eat, she doesn't go out, just like a lovesick woman.
I wish she becomes lovesick and gets married.
I nearly had a heart attack.
By the way, what seemed to be trouble with Solju?
She turned pale and complained of a headache.
She looked like she was about to faint.
I hope she's alright.
A sudden headache?
I smell something fishy around the two women.
Listen. This is only possible in the movies.
Can you live away from me?
No but I'm afraid of your getting hurt.
Don't worry. My nickname was a flying squirrel.
Are you sure?
Don't worry. Just hold it tight.
Okay.
Oh my goodness! No, Keeok! No!
Let me go!
- No! - Let me go!
What's going on?
How could you doze off? Come on, help me stop her.
- Okay. - Hurry!
What a troublemaker.
Just let me go! Mr. Khang, Mr. Khang!
This is really nuts!
Ms. Uhm! Honey!
You sly weasel. Stay right there.
If you were me, would you?
Honey!
Mr. Khang!
Let's drink and calm down.
You sly weasel!
Watch your language. I'm older than you.
So? Act your age!
Calm down. Drink it up.
Did you sell your conscience for love?
Keeok is too young for you!
I've suppressed my emotions to avoid coming this far.
But it's beyond my control when it comes to love.
To hell with love!
Am I a stone?
Can't you shut up?
Our parents don't know about it yet. Give her up and leave.
I'm sorry but I can't.
Are you saying you'll live with her?
I can't live without her, so what can I do?
We are meant to love each other by destiny.
You harp on love whenever at a loss for words.
So? Does love pay the bills?
This is a public place. Calm down.
What can you do for my sister?
You're too old to live long with her.
And you can't give her material comfort.
What the heck can you do for her?
Right. I am a poor old man.
But no one can foretell his destiny.
You're wrong to treat me like this.
You're so bold in words, aren't you!
Easy!
Keechoon, calm down!
Stop.
Please stop! Calm down.
So you mean we should push into the noodle market?
Let's get into that market and beat their company.
But we don't have a knowhow or the noodle factories to do that.
There's a subcontractor whose contract expires this month.
I've already taken action.
And I made offers to a few noodle experts.
Did they say yes?
All things are obedient to money, aren't they?
Oh! That's my daughter!
Say we produce noodles.
How can we carve out into the market dominated by them?
Well-being noodles.
Well-being noodles?
Their new product in development. We'll beat them to it.
Research staff will fight their own battle.
And we have the subcontractor on our side. No problem.
You're sure of it, right?
Yeah.
Yeah?
I'll make them bitterly regret having ignored me.
I'll stomp hard over them.
Here!
Did you wait long?
No. I just arrived.
I couldn't sleep at all last night.
Why? Because of the formal meeting?
Yes. How did it go?
Of course Seyoon's parents exchanged greetings...
...with Chaewon's parents and grandparents.
I really can't believe his mom accepted Chaewon this easily.
I was surprised too.
I think you should give up Chaewon.
Why are you...?
I was going to return it the other day.
Now that things turned out like this, I can't keep it.
Regardless of what the reason may be,
...I'm even ready to buy you a house, not a mere purse.
I don't take bribes.
It's not a bribe.
It's a token of gratitude.
When all my in-laws put me down,
...you're the only one who understood me.
I'll never forget your kindness.
It's a pure gift.
If you insist.
I didn't like you at first.
But then I realized your true love for Chaewon.
You should've been nice to her when she was with you.
I shouldn't have listened to my mom.
I'm such an idiot. Like cutting my own throat.
By the way, something's fishy.
What do you mean?
Mrs. Yi and Chaewon's mom are from the same orphanage.
The same orphanage?
But somehow, they seem to be on bad terms.
Mrs. Yi left first during the meeting because of a headache.
Really?
So don't be discouraged. Be patient.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Also, take care of Mr. Minn.
Seyoon assisted him in his work, made coffees for him...
He got lots of credit.
That paltry fella.
What are you doing?
Making porridge for Mother.
Why?
Seeing you cooking in my kitchen, it feels like we're married.
You haven't proposed to me yet.
Do I have to say it?
Look at you. That's not right.
Cut me some slack.
No. I won't.
Don't be so strict.
And aren't you being too laidback?
Smells good, huh?
Yes.
What am I gonna do now?
Where should I undo a knot?
Yes. Seems she feels better after some sleep.
One sec. I'll put her on.
For you.
Who is it?
Choonhee. She's worried about you.
I'm tired.
Honey.
It's okay.
Yes.
I can talk with her later.
Please take good care of her.
Yes. Yes.
I'll call you later. Bye.
Ha. She just iced me? I feel terrible.
What did Mr. Khang say?
I tried to dissuade him but he didn't listen.
This is not good.
How is Keeok?
She's the same.
She said she wouldn't break up with him no matter what.
Never did I imagine she'd fall in love with Mr. Khang.
Does it make any sense?
Love has no frontier.
They love each other, so what can we do?
Hello?
Ms. Uhm? It's me.
I told you not to call her!
Gosh, she's like a bulldog.
Next is Mr. Gene Kang. Get ready.
Good evening!
The next singer just came back from the Southeast Asian Tour.
Please welcome the king of trot songs, the world star,
...Gene Khang!
Good evening! I'm your Gene.
Thank you for coming to Crystal Night Club tonight.
I'll sing the title song of my first album. Music please!
Life is tough, but don't be stressed out
Don't lose heart for love or for money
Nothing is easy, and that's life.
You only live once. Don't fear anything.
Excuse me.
Do you need anything?
Peanuts are too salty.
I want unsalted peanuts.
We don't have unsalted peanuts.
Taking too much of sodium will cause...
...various disease, like hyperpiesia, mental illness, etc.
Will you take responsibility for my life?
They are mere peanuts.
Just bring me unsalted ones, okay?
Take the bull by the horns
Make a breakthrough
Breakthrough? Breakthrough what?
Breakthrough Breakthrough
Make a breakthrough
Take the bull by the horns
What's the name of that singer?
Gene Khang. Isn't his song exciting?
Make a breakthrough
Gene Khang?
Gene Khang...
Mrs. Yi and Chaewon's mom are from the same orphanage.
But somehow, they seem to be on bad terms.
If they are on bad terms...
...things can be fixed easily.
Yes.
I hope she gets well soon.
She left the porridge untouched.
It happens.
She'll be alright after a good night sleep, so don't worry.
Would you like to come in for tea?
Next time.
Ta-dah!
What is this?
Chocolate.
Let me know which tastes best.
Do you sell chocolate too?
I'm thinking.
I need to know the result, so tell me after you taste it.
You know, I can't distinguish tastes. That's why.
Okay.
I'm back.
How is Mrs. Yi?
She got much better.
Her face turned white all of a sudden so I was worried about her.
I'm glad to hear that she got better.
Yes. Where's Grandpa?
He went to bed. You don't have to say hi. Go rest.
Okay.
What is it in your hand?
It's chocolate. Want some?
Thanks. I wanted something to nibble on.
Please let me know which tastes best.
Okay. Thank you.
Sure.
You're back.
How is Mrs. Yi?
She got better. I left after seeing her sleep.
That's good.
Did she say anything particular?
No.
No?
Would you like one?
No thanks.
If you don't want to.
You teeth will rot. Stop eating and go to sleep.
Maybe I had a poor dinner. I can't sleep from hunger.
I'll eat just one more.
What is this?
That's strange. She should be calling me by now.
Hello?
Did you eat chocolate?
I gave it to my grandma.
What? How could you give it to her?
Why?
Keeok that brat...
Seyoon.
What brings you here at this hour?
I thought you left after giving a ride to Chaewon.
I got an urgent business.
What's the matter?
Gees.
How could you be so slow-witted?
In the chocolate, I...
Is your grandmother sleeping?
Did you come for this?
Where did you get that ring?
Chaewon gave me chocolate and it had a ring inside.
It went to the wrong person.
Seyoon's ring for Chaewon went to Mom.
Oh. That's so romantic.
Give it to the rightful owner.
Not for free.
What?
Kiss on my cheek.
Feels so good!
Here you are.
I'm happy.
Oh, Mom...
Come on. Put the ring on her finger.
You have a flower bouquet too.
Propose to her on your knee.
Gee. That's old-fashioned.
My husband proposed to me on one knee.
Oh. That's so out of style.
Come on. Go ahead.
Please stop. He's embarrassed.
Come on! Come on!
Chaewon, please accept my love.
Don't take it quickly.
You should play hard to get.
My arms and legs are trembling.
Be nice and accept it.
Chaewon, his knee must hurt. Now accept it.
Can I have your hand?
Kiss the girl! Kiss the girl!
My mom is so sensible.
Her nickname is Ms. Sensible.
Kiss the girl!
Thank you for the opportunity.
Her cheek's gonna be worn out. Enough.
Are you jealous of him?
Of course.
Seyoon, now kiss on her lips.
I want to see Hyodong's reaction.
Can I?
Not on her lips. Never!
Come on, he must've already kissed her lips.
I envy you, Chaewon.
Hi, Solju.
Have a seat.
What's your intention?
Intention?
Why did you deceive me as if Chaewon wasn't your daughter?
I didn't deceive you. I only didn't tell you.
Don't play with words.
Since you shunned me, I couldn't tell you I was her mom.
You didn't like her very much.
I was afraid you might hate her even more.
So?
You were playing games with me all along?
Why do you have to say it like that? What made you change so much?
I haven't changed. I'm the same.
That's a lie.
You were like my own sister 30 years ago.
People used to say we were like real sisters.
Mother Superior also said that all the time.
I forgot all about the past. Don't bring it up.
Solju.
I have no intention to become in-laws with you.
So let's just forget we ever had the marriage talk.
Just because I'm her mother, we should forget about it?
Yes. That's right.
How could you do this?
Setting that aside, how could you hurt them too?
They will understand me some day.
Did I make you upset in any way?
If I did, tell me. I'll apologize.
I don't want to talk about the past anymore.
Let's just call it quits now.
If we tell them to break up, do you think they will obey us?
They won't break up.
I'll try to dissuade them. So help me.
I can't.
What?
I like Seyoon.
I want to have him as my son-in-law.
What did you just say?
I said, I want him as my son-in-law.
Don't ask for too much.
I will never give him to you.
I'm asking for too much?
You really want me to start asking?
Evergreen Orphanage.
This is Solju.
Did you reach Sister Michaela by any chance?
She's on her way back from Jejudo.
She'll be arriving within an hour.
I see. Thank you.
Chaewon Minn.
The said person won the noodle contest and is hereby awarded the prize.
Here we go. One, two, three.
Thank you.
This is Mr. Kim.
This is Mr. Yi and this is Mr. Pyo.
Glad to meet you.
I heard a lot about you that you are all noodle experts.
That's an overstatement.
I feel reassured to have the best brains in our team.
You have my full material and emotional support.
Let's work aggressively.
Thanks for joining us.
Thank you.
Mom, I'm leaving first.
You have guests.
Juri, what are you doing here at this hour?
We're in an important meeting. Let's talk later.
Huh? Oh, okay.
Mom, I'm leaving first.
Hey! It's too early for you to get off work.
Well, let's start the meeting. Have a seat, please.
Seyoon assisted him in his work, made coffees for him...
He got lots of credit.
Just coffee? That's petty of him.
Shame on him!
Yeah, nice.
Working hard.
They all look delicious.
It's all set. You can start eating.
Really? Alright. Just a moment.
How are you, Father?
What are you doing here?
It always weighed on my mind that I hadn't treated you to a meal.
So I decided to treat you big today.
What?
"Father"?
Guess he is also Mr. Minn's son-in-law.
Maybe he has more than one daughter.
You're working hard.
I prepared a small spread of food. Please have some.
What are all those?
I called in caterers.
It's all stamina health food. Help yourself.
Man, you sure are blessed with sons-in-law.
The other son-in-law was also nice and affable.
The foods will get cold. Please go ahead.
Okay. Let's go eat.
Come on, let's eat!
Hey. Wait!
Father, please go ahead.
What do you think you're doing?
What's your ulterior motive?
I have no ulterior motive.
I'm just trying to repair my past relationship with you.
What?
You treated me like your own son before I divorced Chaewon.
I want to get along with you like back in the days.
What's gotten into you?
Are you right in your mind?
I still love Chaewon.
As you see,
...it's clean. I'm legally a single.
So, now that you became a single,
...you want to start over with Chaewon?
Yes, Father.
What's wrong with you?
Over my dead body. Get a grip!
If you show up before me again,
...I'll be nastier than today!
Father...
Sister Michaela!
Excuse me.
Hi.
I've tried every way I could think of to reach you.
Is it regarding Mother Superior's diary?
Yes. You keep it, don't you?
I mailed it out this morning.
I guess it'll arrive tomorrow.
You mailed it to Choonhee?
Yes.
Are you okay?
Yes. I'm fine. Excuse me.
Mother Superior was worried about you to her last breath.
Oh.
Sorry I made you wait. There was traffic.
You don't look good.
I heard you were sick the other day.
Why don't you have a medical checkup?
It's just fatigue.
So what is it?
What business does a lofty lady have with this lowly woman?
Don't be sarcastic.
I'm not. It's just so unusual that you wanted to see me.
Well...
A parcel will arrive at your house tomorrow.
Parcel?
It'll be from Evergreen Orphanage which I grew up.
They sent my stuff to Choonhee by mistake.
Chaewon's mom?
Yes.
So I'm asking if you can do me a favor by sending it back to me.
Okay. I can do that.
That's no big deal. You could've asked me over the phone.
I asked you out to see you as well.
Is your husband doing okay?
As usual.
I'll ask my husband to reinstate him in his position. Don't worry.
You sniffed at my request the other day. Why did you change your mind?
At that time, I still had bitter feelings.
But how can I refuse you a favor?
I'll get your husband a position.
It's okay. He decided to succeed the family business.
Really?
It seems you and Choonhee don't get along so well.
She told me you two grew up at the same orphanage.
But since relations between you two look strained, I pretended not to know
Something happened between you two?
Nothing...
We met again after 30 years. It can't be like the old days.
That's all?
Yes.
Just to remind you.
Please receive the parcel and bring it to me.
Guess it's something important, huh?
Huh?
Well, it's just my childhood stuff.
You must bring it to me. Promise.
Okay. I will.
Thanks for everything today.
I should be thanking you. I can do this all the time.
I was proud of myself thanks to Chaewon.
Thank you.
You're welcome, Mr. President.
Come in for some tea.
No thank you. I have things to do.
Bye.
Bye. Drive safe.
Let's go in.
It's Mother.
Mother!
What are you doing here?
I'm coming back from driving Chaewon home.
Seems you're going to the market.
Yes. To buy things for dinner.
Let's have a date.
Date?
I'll carry your bag. Let's walk around the market.
I'd love to. Aren't you busy though?
I can make time for a date with a beauty like you.
Let's go.
Okay.
What do you like? Crabs?
Let's have a look at here.
Wow, it's alive.
This is female.
- Is it? - Yes.
Wow, it's big. Be careful.
Yes. This is good.
Shall we take this?
Wow.
Look at this.
- It's good! - It is!
- Eat more. - Thanks.
It's good.
Why?
Pick out what you like. I'll buy it for you.
I have many hairpins. Let's go.
Please pick out one, or you'll regret later.
They are on sale. Every item is at just $2.
Aren't you spending too much today?
I am spending a lot but if it's for you, no problem.
Okay. I like your attitude.
What would be nice?
How about this?
It's pretty.
How do I look?
The best.
Thanks, son-in-law.
Women sure have a soft spot for jewels.
You leveled me up from Seyoon to son-in-law.
What?
It's pretty.
You look pretty.
Thanks.
The diary shouldn't reach Choonhee.
Hi, Solju. What is it?
I'm calling to make sure again.
Please bring the parcel to me. Don't tell it to Choonhee.
You sound like a broken record.
I trust you only.
What's so big deal about it?
Okay. Trust me. Okay. Yes, bye.
Who was it?
Huh? Solju.
Why did she call you?
Huh?
Oh. She asked a favor of me.
It's nothing. Let's continue the meeting.
If we square up with the bank, we'll be left with $50,000 only.
I think we'd better invest in equipment after our business is stabilized.
Father even got a bank loan and yet bragged about $10 million?
That's too much.
But when big business dominates everywhere these days,
...he has kept the family business. That's amazing.
True. It would've been impossible without passion.
Right. I respect him in that aspect.
Mr. Pangdal Uhm is amazing, so is his granddaughter.
I know.
I acted high and mighty today thanks to her.
Let's give her a big hand!
Yeah!
Thank you, Chaewon.
By the way, I haven't seen Seulhong these days.
Huh? He's shopping around entertainment agencies.
He wants to become a singer.
Isn't he going back to New York?
He said he's not interested in study.
He's a headache.
Keeok, get up. We need to talk.
Get up!
Ha. Are you ignoring me now?
What the! She's gone!
Honey!
Why blow a whistle?
She took a run!
- Oh no! - She was sleeping just until now.
Can't you watch her right?
She laid a pillow in the bed and covered it.
What?
I'm going nuts!
Where can I possibly find her?
I'm sure she isn't in his house.
If our parents find out, it'll become a big trouble.
It's Aunt Keeok.
Answer the phone!
Aunt, where are you?
I'm with Mr. Khang. We're registering our marriage.
Register your marriage?
Register their marriage?
She's registering her marriage with Mr. Khang.
Hey! Keeok! Are you nuts? Just come home!
I'm sorry, Keechoon.
Tell Mom and Dad that I'm sorry for being a bad daughter.
Hey! Stop it and just come home!
We're going off on a honeymoon to a near beach.
I'll see you later.
If you regret it even now...
I don't regret it.
Thank you, Ms. Uhm.
I'll be good to you.
Yes.
Hi. You got something to report?
[Resignation Letter]
What is this?
I'm quitting my job as of today.
Juri.
I joined the company because of you. Now that we're over,
I'd like to walk away.
I will work for my mom.
It's not like you to react emotionally.
Then is it like me to be faithful to you even though you dumped me?
Juri.
Even a worm will turn.
I doted upon you, but I can't bear an insult any more.
Insult?
You'll see.
I'll make you painfully regret for having dumped me.
Did you look for me?
Yes. Sit down.
You frequent here these days.
I just quit my job.
I'll work for Mom from tomorrow.
Give her all the projects we're working on.
What do you mean?
I've lost confidence in you.
Juri and I will take care of the company. Pull out of it.
What? Are you saying I'll be the CEO in name only?
Grind your teeth and regain my trust.
Then I'll entrust you again.
Sorry, Cholgyu.
Are you adding oil to the fire?
Hey.
Juri is now the big shot. You better fawn over her.
Mom!
I can't get down to work.
Did you hear anything from Keechoon?
He's scouring all the beaches across the country but he can't find them.
What's the use of finding them? They're legally married now.
Let's take it as her fate.
I think they deeply love each other.
Love won't pay the bills!
I have a parcel for Ms. Choonhee Yang.
Oh.
Can you sign here please?
Thank you.
Thank you!
I wonder what this contains that Solju begged me so desperately.
Should I take a look?
I have enough headaches with this family.
Why ask for another? Forget about it.
Is there no one home?
Hello?
Hi, Solju. It's me.
I brought the parcel but there's no one in your house.
You brought the parcel?
Is it sent from Evergreen Orphanage?
Yes. Addressed to Choonhee.
Thank you. Thank you, Dohee.
No problem. Are you out?
Yes. I have some business.
Seems the housekeeper went to market. Can you leave it in the mailbox?
I'll be back right after taking care of business.
Okay.
Thank you. Thank you, Dohee.
I will never give Seyoon to you!
I must have it out with Solju.
I won't ask for your help.
Just don't get in my way, Mother Superior.
The traffic isn't bad, is it?
No. We'll arrive in 10 minutes.
Who is it?
Hi. I came to see Mrs. Yi.
She's not in.
Can you open the gate? Let me wait inside.
Last time I let you in without her permission, she rebuked me.
Please be nice and open the gate.
I'm sorry but I'll let you in with her permission.
Hello? Hello?
How cheap and nasty.
She got no manners.
If it's not for Chaewon, I wouldn't have to beg her.
Let's see who wins. I'll be waiting till you come.
What is this?
How come the parcel sent to me is here?
From Evergreen Orphanage?
Why on earth is this here?
Who put it here?
