Bride of the Century
[Previously]
- What is this? - Watch out!
Are you okay?
Is it true?
- Aunty Bong Sook? - Grandma!
Am I your puppet?
You're right. You are my puppet.
Is it my fault the company isn't doing well?
Mom, don't look for me for a while.
if your daughter fails to appear once again, we
have no choice but to reconsider this marriage.
We're all about to sink together.
You have to think of a solution!
We're not completely cornered...
- I need you. - Excuse me?
To be the fiance...
To Taeyang Group's Choi Kang Ju.
Choi Kang Ju?
[Episode 2]
What are you doing?
What?
- Let's go inside. - Okay.
Welcome.
Say hello. This is my mom.
Hello. My name is Na Doo Rim.
When you told me they looked alike I
thought they could only look so similar.
My goodness...
You must be tired. Go on up and get some rest.
Okay.
One obstacle after another...
Never mind her face. She's so tacky...
You can use this room while you stay with us.
Tonight you can get some rest. The bathroom is outside to the right.
You can let me know if there is anything you need.
Okay. Good night.
I've never seen anything like this.
How can they look so similar?
Could your dad have...
No mom. It's not possible. I looked into Doo Rim's
parents and their family's background.
She has nothing to do with our family.
Well, I didn't think it was possible either.
But they just look so similar I couldn't resist saying it.
There are many unexplainable things in the world.
Sure. This is good for us anyway.
It's like a princess's room...
She's similar but completely different...
It's like a makeup store here!
This is so cool...
There's even cotton candy!
They won't notice if I eat one.
What are you doing in here?
This is our Yi Kyung's room!
I'd appreciate it if you didn't come in here from now on.
And don't touch her things without permission.
I'm sorry. I'll be careful from now on.
Yes, I just got gone.
Okay, I'll come out to the lobby.
So what happened? I told you we have a photoshoot for Taeyang today!
We begin in 10 minutes so hurry.
Is everyone in Seoul like that?
My bracelet!
Where did I drop it?
Did I leave it at the salon?
What brings you here?
- Go ahead. - Yes, sir.
We have a photoshoot for our mall at the studio here.
I was passing by so thought I'd stop by for a bit.
Is that so?
I have a vendor meeting here.
You seem busy so we'll speak more at the dinner.
Goodbye.
Where did it go?
Found it!
Whoever put it here is pretty smart.
Thank you!
Why didn't you pick up your phone? Did you run into Choi Kang Ju?
No.
Sorry I kept you waiting so long.
I was looking for this.
I was told this is a lucky charm.
When I took this off, I lost my money and my grandma was hospitalized.
A lot of bad things happened.
But after I put it back on, I met you, was able to pay for
my grandma's surgery and a lot of good things happened.
It's a really important piece to me.
Let's get out of here.
Starting from the far left, that is a champagne glass, then white wine,
This is for red wines and this last one here is a water glass.
Water glass?
For water?
So confusing!
Keep practicing so you don't make any mistakes.
This man here is Choi Kang Ju's father, President Choi Il Do.
And the woman next to him is Choi Kang Ju's mother.
- And that is-- - I know who Choi Kang In is!
The leader of the boy band Monster, Choi Kang Ju's
younger brother, Choi Kang In, right?
I'm a Monster fan.
Will Choi Kang In be at the dinner too?
Is that man next to Choi Kang in Choi Kang Ju?
It'll only be immediate family members at the
dinner so you'll only need to remember these faces.
Keep talking to a minimum and only speak when you're asked a question.
And when I smile, do so lightly like this.
Oh, and please speak comfortably with me.
What if you accidentally speak formally to me at the dinner?
Now that you mention it, you're right.
Now, shall we go through everything one more time?
Okay.
Relax. Just do as we practiced.
Okay.
Hold on.
I need to go to the bathroom.
Okay. Go ahead. I'll be over there.
Look what we have here...
And you are?
Are you happy to have taken other people's
money and be dallying around in hotels?
Doo Rim.
- Doo Rim! - Kim Bong Sook!
Hey!
You're all here already.
Hello Mrs. Jang.
We just got here.
And Yi Kyung?
She did come with us but her...
- Go get her. - Okay.
It's okay. I'll go get her.
- Have a seat. - Yes.
Kim Bong Sook!
Stop right there.
Doo Rim...Forgive me!
I'll hold on to your wallet for now.
Doo Rim, you got so much prettier since I last saw you.
The saying that the clothes make the woman really is true.
Kyung Ju!
I have something to tell you.
That man is Choi Kang In.
And if he is Choi Kang In's brother then...
Choi Kang Ju?
We already signed with a different model.
- Get out of here. - What?
- I said get out of here! - Is it really okay if I leave?
I will kill you if you don't leave right now.
Thank you! Thank you...
Okay, we'll talk later.
You skipped out on the inauguration ceremony just to go to Gangreung?
What was it? Did you do the math and you had more to lose than to gain?
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to worry you.
I think your mother and brother were worried, not me.
They're the two people most nervous we might break up.
Aside from that... weren't you with someone?
Who could I have been with?
Then never mind.
What are you doing? Aren't you going to go inside?
Coming.
You cannot disappear and act out again.
If you don't feel you're mentally strong enough to handle your role
then you can walk away from this right now.
There are plenty of other people who are willing to fill the role.
What the heck? This guy is completely self-absorbed.
And the way he talks is so emotionally detached.
Decide right now.
It's your last chance to break this off.
Our parents are waiting. Let's go inside now.
Oh no!
You!
What are you doing?
How dare you kiss me!
I didn't do it. You're the one who kissed me.
Did I? So what happened is--
You should have avoided it.
How dense can you be to not be able to avoid such a situation?
What?
Did you do it on purpose?
Did I get shot in the head?
You're the one I should be asking if you did it on purpose!
Let's talk later and go inside for now.
What the heck? He's completely ignoring me.
I thought he was cold but he's also rude.
Because of you Choi Kang Ju, I lost a very important opportunity.
Just because I'm smiling right now doesn't mean I'm happy.
My precious money. What do I do?
That's our song from our first album.
You like pop songs?
I thought you only liked classical because you were a piano major.
I like all Monster songs.
- I'm a fan. - Really?
We have a showcase before our comeback. Would you like to stop by?
- May I? - Of course!
It's nice to be getting a new family member.
None of my family members know any of my songs.
I didn't know you were a fan of our Kang In.
Well...
We'll all be a family soon so I thought it's important to know.
As we get to know each other better.
That's true. You're really trying, taking an interest in Kang In too.
Enjoy.
You seem to be enjoying the food.
I don't like how young ladies these days pick at their food.
They used to say that you need to eat well for luck to come your way.
Of course. I'm not a picky eater. I'll eat anything...
I noticed she doesn't eat fish.
No way. I eat sushi all the...
She'll anything else but since she got very
sick from eating sushi when she was younger
it's difficult for her to eat sushi.
Now that Kang Ju is back, don't you think
we should move forward with the wedding?
My friends already have grandchildren.
I'd like to also hold my grandson in my arms.
It's not a problem for us but Kang Ju just
started working so I'm sure he's busy.
What does he have to worry about? We can prepare the entire wedding.
Mrs. Jang and I will meet separately to go over the details of the wedding.
Kang Ju, we're going to head home first.
- You two can spend more time together. - Get home safely.
Goodbye.
- Thanks. We'll see you again soon. - Okay.
Yi Kyung, we're going to head home first as well.
Get home safely.
Mrs. Jang, let's go.
Okay.
Kang Ju I'll see you later.
Why is he staring at me?
Something's going on with you.
What is it? Does he know?
Did you do something wrong?
Why have you been avoiding eye contact with me?
Why would I?
Actually. You did do something wrong.
It's as though you were trying to pull a dog by the leash.
Pulling me by my tie without permission.
Not to mention my lips--
Are you doing all this on purpose?
Why would I...
You're really funny Kang Ju.
I'm going to take off now. I have things to take care of at work.
Why'd you say you'd stay with me if you were going to leave right away?
Because I have to act like we're together.
That way our parents don't worry.
Why? Do you want to be alone with me?
Yeah right!
I'm leaving.
Why that...
I'm still his fiance.
He doesn't even offer to take me home
and cuts me off like toilet paper on a toilet paper roll and takes off.
Why that--
Hello. It's good to see you.
Hello.
You're wearing the necklace again. It looks good on you.
Thank you.
I was disappointed I didn't see you at the inauguration ceremony.
I heard you were very sick.
Are you okay now?
What is she saying...
Aren't you CEO Choi Kang Ju's fiance?
We met before. Do you not remember?
Does she know Choi Kang Ju?
What do I do?
President Kaneko!
- Hello. - Hello.
I met you at CEO Choi Kang Ju's
inauguration ceremony. I am Jang Yi Hyun.
Yes... Mr. Jang Yi Hyun. It's nice to see you again.
I was so nervous I couldn't stand it.
It's a good thing I turned around and came back.
I made a lot of mistakes today, didn't I?
All that matters is that you didn't get caught and we got through today.
You're right.
But what is wrong with the fiance?
How uninterested is he to not realize his fiance is a different person?
I understand your sister a thousand times over.
I understand why she disappeared.
What's the use in being handsome and rich?
Having to marry a guy like that is...
Well it makes me think so this is what those
arranged marriages in dramas are like.
I'm sorry.
I just...
You didn't say anything untrue so you don't have to feel bad.
My heart is still racing.
She took off with other people's money and
is going to get massages now, is she?
Why did Choi Kang Ju have to show up then of all times...
And my lips that I've protected all 25 years of my life...
I was so nervous today.
But we still go through it.
I even had to let the maid go. Now the house is a mess....
How much longer do we have to live like this?
I thought we'd find her right away
but it might take longer than we thought.
Good morning!
What are you doing?
What's wrong mom?
Hungry? Come and have a seat.
I just need to wait for the soup to boil.
Yi Hyun, have a seat as well.
When did you make all this?
There's no point in just sitting around the house all day.
You can't call for help because of me.
Don't worry about chores around the house from now on.
I will take care of the cooking, laundry and cleaning.
No it's okay. I can just ask to get a new maid to come.
Why waste your money like that?
I don't know much about anyone else but from all my years
of working, I've built muscles to get me through anything!
I used whatever was in the fridge. I hope you like it.
It tastes good.
She's better than the maid.
I'm glad both of you like it. Enjoy!
After we eat, we're going to begin intensive training today.
Okay.
Seafood is so good.
She doesn't even eat sea squirts and sea cucumber?
Those are the two things our Yi Kyung hates the most.
Including live squid.
When your sister comes back, make sure to bring her to our restaurant.
If she tastes what I catch and prepare myself, she'll ask for more.
But she does eat salmon, caviar and lobster.
And our Yi Kyung doesn't really like sweets.
I like sweets a lot.
But she does eat cake, cookies and
dark chocolates handmade from organic ingredients.
Her favorite fruit is mango and she likes her coffee hand-dripped.
She can have about three to four glasses of wine.
And our Yi Kyung...
What is it? Is something wrong?
You keep calling her "our Yi Kyung."
You are her older brother but you know everything and care a lot about her.
If only Choi Kang Ju cared about a quarter the amount that you do...
This is Choi Kang Ju family's tree.
This is a list of Yi Kyung's school friends.
Make sure to memorize those.
And use this cellphone from now on.
All phone numbers for Choi Kang Ju's family and
Yi Kyung's friends that I know are saved in there.
What do I do? It's Choi Kang Ju's mom!
What do you mean? Pick it up.
Hi, it's me.
Welcome Miss Jang.
Hello!
The home of the super rich are definitely different.
It's like a palace.
- Please come with me Miss Jang. - Oh , yes!
This is a list about Kang Ju.
You'll need to know Kang Ju well in order to support him like his shadow.
The foods he likes, the foods he doesn't like.
Not just his taste in food but the clothing brands he likes
the cologne he wears, products he uses and everything
down to the smallest detail are all listed.
It will be helpful.
Okay.
And this is a schedule of all the family gatherings and events.
If you become Taeyang Group's daughter-in-law
those are the dates you need to remember.
Okay.
I'll make it short.
Kang Ju is meant to do great things.
The woman must do well in order for
things to go well in and out of the home.
What happened at the inauguration ceremony cannot ever happen again.
Watch what you say and how you act wherever
you go because you never who is watching.
Do you understand me?
Yes. I will try my best so as not to disappoint you.
Have dinner with us. Kang Ju said he'd be home early as well.
Go hang out in Kang Ju's room. I'll come get you when dinner is ready.
Okay.
This room is the size of a gym.
What is all this?
Oh my oh my...
Choi Kang Ju.
It's so nice!
Who are you?
Is this who you really are?
You act so quiet, reserved and classy in front of people.
But when no one is around, you must be all sorts of odd.
It's me.
Okay. I'll take a look and email it to you.
You were doing all kinds of weird things when you were alone.
Is this also an act?
You can go ahead and change. I'll be downstairs.
You said you want to get to know me better.
Don't you want to know about my body?
If you even try to lay a finger on me I will hurt you.
Now what?
Kang Ju, hear me out.
We may be engaged but we're not married yet.
We're old enough to know better at our age.
I know they say the basics of a dowry nowadays is a baby in the womb
but I believe certain traditions should be upheld.
So don't even think about it until we're married!
Got it?
Dude looks completely normal but he's a complete pervert!
What do you mean grandfather's death anniversary?
Choi Kang Ju's grandfather is the founder of Taeyang Group.
It's the largest gathering of the year and the entire extended family
Taeyng Group board members and exec members attend.
It's only right that the future daughter-in-law attends.
It's too hard. I can't do it anymore.
This is different than what we talked about.
At first you said I only have to get through the dinner.
But now the death anniversary and all these gatherings and events.
How am I supposed to go to all these...
You said you wanted a store in your name?
What if I offered to help you open one up? Would that work?
That's not the problem right now.
What? Did you say store?
I'll go. You said it's this weekend?
I've organized the memorials for my parents
so I'm good at grilling the meat patties
and if they need me to put my head down and mourn, I can do that too.
Because I know what it's like.
They are our great-uncles and great- aunt.
Say hello.
Auntie, she wants to say hello.
Auntie!
She's saying hi.
You wench!
How dare you come here!
You can fool even a ghost but not me!
What's wrong? You can't act like this.
This girl isn't Kang Ju's fiance!
Leave this house immediately! Get her out of here right now!
Be gone you sly thing! Leave!
That's not Kang Ju's fiance!
You must be really determined to make things work.
Are you trying to get by on physical labor since you can't use your brain?
Who is this woman?
Is she Choi Kang Ju's relative?
What do I do? I don't remember...
Yeah, throw yourself at him and see what happens.
I didn't think you'd back off so easily.
It wouldn't be fun if you did.
Don't you think?
When did you get here Roo Mi?
Hi mom! I just got here with Kang Ju.
You shouldn't have. I'm sure you're busy.
It's only right that I come for grandfather's memorial.
He was so nice to me when he was still alive.
Is there anything I can help with?
Nothing. I'm just grateful you came.
- Come on in. Let's have some tea. - Okay.
Roo Mi?
Lee Roo Mi.
Taeyang Mall Business Development Manager.
Graduated top of the class at Hangook University.
Dad is the Attorney General.
Jang Yi Kyung's best... friend!
What kind of best friend talks like that?
What are you doing here?
Can't you see? I'm helping out.
What else can you do with your hands other than eat, put on makeup and shop?
Is this also an act? Just acting like you're helping out around here.
I think this every time I see you but it's quite surprising.
You manage to say the most emotionally detached things
so much that you just make me want to direct
all affection to the first dog I see.
They're so cold it makes my heart feel like it's freezing over.
What?
I'll put the scallions here.
Let me handle that.
You?
With fish, you have to lift the gills right here
and get the knife through right at the center between the
stomach and the head to get all the blood out effectively.
You're going to fry the meat, right?
My goodness...
Where did you learn all this?
Well with over 10 years of restaurant--
They teach us these things in cooking classes these days.
I see!
Are you okay? I told you to tell me to do these things!
She's so easy to get along with and so hard-working.
She really isn't like most young ladies these days.
Yeah! I thought she was a princess who had
never even set foot in the kitchen.
Seriously!
It's just depressing for the person who died after all these years.
Thinking about it now, it's really up to the
heavens who marries into the Taeyang Group family.
Whether the heavens are bringing people together
or people are making it happen, no one knows.
There was so much talk after the president's first wife died.
There were so many rumors that went around.
After she died in a hit and run accident on their honeymoon
they never caught the person who did it.
So are those rumors true?
-That the current Mrs. Choi-- - Someone might hear you! Be quiet!
What are you talking about?
Scared me!
I don't like to be left out of things.
What were you saying? Someone else died aside from grandfather?
What are you doing right now?
Are you out of your minds?
How dare you run your mouths while cooking
food that is to be served to the deceased!
I'm sorry ma'am!
Be careful not to get too friendly with the house help.
They're all people you have to order around later.
You don't want them to take advantage of you.
When you're too friendly with them, it's harder to order them around later.
- Do you understand? - Yes, mother.
You!
Where have you been?
My legs hurt. Carry me.
She can't do that for you.
Carry me!
Now!
I will carry you. Here!
I don't want you to!
Are you okay?
- Honey, are you okay? - My back! Ow, my back!
How can you hurt your back? You're a man!
Grandma, I'll carry you.
- How will you do that? - It's okay.
Get on my back grandma.
- Are you okay? - Wow you're very strong.
How is it grandma? You must be really happy. Are you happy?
Oh no! Oh no what do we do?
Mrs. Ahn! Hurry!
Oh no! What is all this?
You must be so relieved grandma!
Aren't you uncomfortable? I'll get you changed out of you clothes right away.
- Are you okay? - I'm okay.
Let's go inside grandma!
You're so pretty grandma.
You can get married now.
- Are you tired? - Yeah.
Lay down right here.
Careful.
After not doing work for a while...
Should I take a quick nap?
I wonder how my grandma is doing...
She must be so lonely all by herself in a new city...
Grandma...
Why are you here?
Why else? I'm here to wake you up.
Then you should have just woken me up. Why are you watching me sleep?
- That's perverted! - What?
Perverted?
A woman who's snoring so loudly the roof might blow off?
Is there a man who can watch such a woman sleep in this world?
Snoring? I did?
You went to town snoring.
- I was really tired... - Forget it.
Come out. It's almost time for the memorial.
You did that on purpose, didn't you?
What are you talking about?
You knew Roo Mi was in here and did that intentionally.
You're the one who came out of nowhere and scared me!
Forget it.
What the heck...
What are you doing in here?
Cruel girl...
Where is she right now...
Is she eating properly...
Yi Kyung is probably doing well. Don't worry too much about her.
Have you heard from Doo Rim?
Yes, she just called to say they just finished up the memorial.
What is that?
They said it helped with bringing a harmonious
relationship to the bride and groom.
It was foolish of me.
What's the use of all this?
It's useless.
Are you going to marry Yi Kyung?
I asked you if you're going to marry her.
She's the woman my parents want me to marry.
So it doesn't matter who it is so long as your parents pick her out?
Yes. It doesn't matter.
Don't do that. Why get married to someone you don't have feelings for?
What are feelings?
Feelings... love... do you really think those things exist?
I know why you're saying that.
Forget what happened.
Stop shutting people out and keeping them at a distance--
Lee Roo Mi. Don't overstep your boundaries.
Don't act like you know when you know nothing.
I can't even say this much to you?
I've stood next to you for so long.
I never once asked you to stand beside me.
If it's a marriage without love...
and if it doesn't matter who you marry.
Then don't you think I'm better fit for the role?
Does it really not matter to you?
Ever since I was young, you've always been the one for me.
Do you know how I feel every time I see you and Yi Kyung together?
So stop.
Stop.
I can't stop...
Do you have to put on that expression with me standing right here?
You said you don't have any feelings towards her.
Are you still worried about her because she's your fiance?
- What is Jang Yi Kyung to you? - Watch what you say!
She's not someone for you to talk so freely about.
She was selected by my parents and my family.
Kang Ju...
Alright... so Choi Kang Ju and Lee Roo Mi were in that kind of a relationship?
No wonder... that girl Lee Roo Mi is so sly.
Is Choi Kang Ju going to fall for all of that?
Whether he does or not has nothing to do with me.
Once Jang Yi Kyung comes back, this act will all be over. Over!
That woman...
- Excuse me. - Yes?
Did you see the other help lady that came this way?
- No, I didn't see her. - Okay.
Was I seeing things?
I definitely saw her go in there.
What is this place?
What are you doing down there?
You scared me!
You seriously.
Come here. Hurry!
Hold onto her.
Why are you going back in there?
Hold on!
The mom died...
Are you telling me to shovel right now?
Do you not know how to?
I am the heir to Taeyang Group, Choi Kang Ju.
So?
What does that have to do with shoveling?
Is there a law that says the Taeyang Group heir cannot shovel?
Forget it.
I'll just do it.
Move out of the way. Hold onto her.
How can a man not know how to shovel properly?
I guess there's really not much you could have done on your own.
You probably haven't done much more than eat,
wipe your poop and use a pen with those hands.
What?
- Poop? - Poop.
All this hair...
You don't have a mom either... Don't worry, I'll be your mom.
Let's go.
You're just going to leave like that?
You can stay out here and get your late night workout if you want.
Yi Kyung is respectful and seems thoughtful.
She's not like most kids these days.
She is very compatible with Kang Ju.
You may be able to predict the change in
tides but you never know with a person.
Only time will tell.
You picked her yourself and you're still not satisfied.
Is it because you still have lingering feelings about Roo Mi...
Marriage cannot be forced. What can we do?
It's disappointing but she wasn't meant to be a part of our family.
Is that what you think?
That I did that to your first love?
Why are you bringing that up again?
It's all in the past.
It's all in the past?
No. Our Kang Ju may even...
Nonsense!
Do you really believe that?
Be extra careful the kids don't get wind of it.
Don't confuse the kids with an exciting event coming up.
You're really something else.
- Are we here already? - Wipe the saliva off your mouth first.
I'm tired from running around all day...
Acting like you didn't see what you saw and didn't hear what you heard...
You must have set your mind on becoming the perfect puppet.
- What? - What happened with Roo Mi earlier...
Oh no! Oh no!
Are you telling me that dumb cat is more
important than what I have to say right now?
I think it peed...
Forget it. Just get out.
Before you ruin the car seat.
You know that we have a TV interview tomorrow, right?
Don't be late. Okay?
Okay.
Let's go.
Is that really something to get so mad about?
It's not like he doesn't pee!
Our Yi Kyung is so allergic that she can't even touch cats and dogs.
Did you not read through the list?
How can you bring home a cat?
Does Choi Kang Ju know?
Don't worry. Choi Kang Ju doesn't know anything.
He doesn't know anything about your sister.
You have to think about when Yi Kyung comes back!
Wouldn't it be weird if she's different when she comes back and you're gone?
You eat fish and seafood, play with cats and dogs...
Then what is our Yi Kyung supposed to do?
I didn't think things through all the way.
I'm sorry.
I told you clearly. For as long as you're living
here, you are not Na Doo Rim. You are Jang Yi Kyung.
I'll be more careful from now on.
Would it be okay if I kept this cat?
I'll take her with me when your sister comes back.
Please let me keep her here until then.
Please?
The president isn't here.
That's strange... he wasn't out front either.
Where did he go so early in the morning without telling us?
I'm not late, am I?
It took a bit to get my outfit together.
Where's Kang Ju?
Kang Ju!
Take this bracelet off.
Your necklace is the highlight today. The necklace has the stand out.
Why aren't you taking it off?
If it gets in the way, I can just hide it.
Happy?
Choi Kang Ju!
You heartless man!

It must be really hard playing someone you're not meant to be.
I know it would never happen
but if you don't find Yi Kyung before the wedding...
What would you do?
Being a woman in the Taeyang Group family is not meant for anyone.
What have you done?
Are you crazy?
This is the last time you will do such an unsightly thing.
How dare you make us look so bad.
How can you two look so similar?
Is there like a secret that you don't know about?
Nothing like that will ever happen.
What do you mean that incident?
Whoever becomes his first wife will die.
Because I will take your soul.
You lying superficial jerk!
It's not like you're from another planet. Who are you?
Jang Yi Kyung?
