Bride of the Century
Were you waiting here because you were afraid I might not come?
Honestly, I was a little nervous.
I thought your mom might tie you up and hide you somewhere.
Then I can run away again.
I did it once. There's no reason why I can't do it again.
Stop joking around.
How's your grandmother?
Let's go.
Hey.
Yi Kyung is here mom.
Hello.
Hi.
How's grandma doing?
She's doing better now
but they told us we should be prepared for the worst.
Mom, I'm going to go now. Kang Ju, Yi Kyung.
- Go on in. - Okay.
Roo Mi! It's me.
What? Yi Kyung is back?
Kang In, where did you say you are?
Grandma, Yi Kyung is here.
Grandma, it's me.
Kang Ju... I have something to tell her.
Go ahead.
I'll be outside.
I wanted to see you one last time so I asked you to come here.
I'm sorry I couldn't tell you sooner.
Please understand.
Let's talk about that later.
You said it was all for me.
Your dedication to maintaining that house.
Even if that dedication was all in vain
I won't blame you.
Just as I overcame my fear, I hope you are
able to face reality sooner than later.
Hello.
You must be very upset.
I truly hope she gets well soon.
Thank you for thinking of us.
You must have been very taken back
I too was very shocked.
Fortunately the heavens were on our side and they came back safely.
Anyways, I'm sure you have a lot on your mind right
now so we will talk about the kids at a later time.
Let's do that.
I will come see you later tonight.
You'll have to be prepared for my punishment.
Okay. I will come prepared.
Get home safe.
See you later.
It's me.
Yes, I'm still at the hospital.
What did he say?
Mr. Choi is at the hospital and Ms. Jang Yi Kyung just stopped by.
- Really? - He thought I was stalking him.
What's going on?
Tell me. Please?
The thing is... I can't say.
Jin Joo, you like Mr. Choi, don't you?
You can't just say things without knowing what I'm thinking.
Then what is it that you can't tell me?
I don't know.
What do I do? I can't get a hold of Yi Hyun either...
Should I call the police?
No...
You said it was all for me.
Your dedication to maintaining the outhouse.
Even if that dedication was all in vain, I won't blame you.
Ms. Kim.
I have something to tell you.
Make sure to take care of things so we don't have problems later.
Yes, I will do.
Mom! Kang Ju is here.
I'm not going to get kicked out again, am I?
And if you do, I'll go with you.
Please accept these.
Do you think a bouquet of flowers will make everything okay?
Mom...
I'm sorry that we startled you.
I'll make up for it by cherishing her and
living that much more of a happy life together.
Please forgive me and accept me as part of your family.
Mom.
She's my daughter but not once did I even
think this conniving girl would lie to me.
This must be why people say daughters are useless...
She left me and went after the man she likes.
Mom we'll be good to you from now on.
Please take good care of Yi Kyung.
She's officially left my nest now.
I'm going to trust that you'll take care of her.
Thank you.
Take care of things quietly and make sure your guys don't talk.
We've done this enough times to know better.
Doo Rim!
- Yi Hyun! - Are you okay?
We have to hurry and get out of here.
Look what the cat dragged in...
Doo Rim! Run away!
Run away Doo Rim! Hurry!
Yi Hyun!
No!
Yi Hyun! Yi Hyun!
Okay. I'll be right there.
You know, at the hospital,
What did my grandma say?
You want to know?
It's a secret.
Did you tell her something you shouldn't have?
Something came up so it looks like I'll have to step out.
Is it work-related?
It's not like that. You don't have to worry about it.
Enjoy the rest of dinner and take your time here tonight.
You don't need to come out. Relax.
Yi Kyung... I'll be back.
Are you okay?
That's hot!
You're like a little kid.
But at some point, whenever I held your hand, all my fears disappeared
and I thought that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you by my side.
If you're sorry then I feel like I really don't have a chance.
I'll wait for you. Out there somewhere.
How can you make such a mess?
I'm sorry, Ms. Ma.
Tell me exactly what happened. How did this happen.
- The thing is... - I'm asking you what happened!
I can answer that question.
You probably didn't think you'd see me here.
It's very surprising for me as well, that
we run into each other here, of all places.
What's more surprising is that girl waiting in there.
Is she your daughter?
Hi mom.
- Have you had dinner yet? - Yes.
Yi Kyung's mother made us a lot of delicious food.
Are you with Yi Kyung? May I speak to her?
Hi Ms. Kim.
Yi Kyung you've been through a lot lately.
What do you mean?
I haven't done much.
- Well, have a good time with Kang Ju. - Okay, have a good night.
Na Doo Rim.
Turns out she came all the way from Namhae.
I assume it was after Kang Ju stepped in as President?
That you put in a knock-off?
And the girl who swore her love to Kang Ju was not
your daughter but the girl sitting out there.
Were you trying to cover our eyes and ears and
make your daughter a part of Taeyang Group
in exchange for that innocent girl's life?
Were you not the one who tried to play games with my daughter's life first?
You never had any intention of having her as your daughter-in-law.
It's okay to be greedy if you are worthy of it.
But when you are overzealous beyond your means
then you are setting yourself up for failure.
I do not want things to get out of hand.
If you back off now, I'll let this one go without any troubles.
You do know this should not be dragged out for a long time?
Please let me know by tomorrow.
I'll give you an answer now.
I have something to tell you before I leave...
Don't be surprised by what I'm about to say.
30 years ago...
About Kang Ju's father's first bride.
After the wedding the two went to the cabin on their honeymoon.
I... also went to the cabin.
I needed confirmation.
About what happens to the first wife on the first night.
But surprisingly the bride was completely fine.
There was something very surprising written in that journal.
That the curse on the family was not true...
There was an unspoken promise that once the
first bride died, Myung Hee would be the next bride.
But the first bride was alive and well.
The thought of my daughter losing her place...
Before I even realized I...
For my daughter Myung Hee...
Who only had eyes for Kang Ju's father since her 20's.
For my daughter...
In an instant I crushed
someone else's daughter... someone else's precious life.
This is the last page to that journal...
If there's one terrible mistake you and I made,
it's that we believed the curse over the family.
Fortunately I was unexpectedly presented
with a chance to overcome that mistake.
Thanks to your mother.
If the truth about this is revealed to the world
then not just your family will be ruined
but the future of Taeyang Group...
Oh, and I thought you might be curious.
How the girl Doo Rim was able to return safely.
I also do not want things to get out of hand.
We have nothing to lose by breaking off this wedding.
I'm sure you know that you have much more to
lose than us by breaking off this wedding.
And that this isn't something you should drag out for too long.
I will give you until tomorrow.
I feel like we were hit with a storm yesterday and today.
The big waves are gone now, right?
I told you, didn't I? That my mom's anger
would melt away as quickly as the snow.
Truth is, I'm more worried about your brother than your mom.
Did you know your brother is actually pretty scary?
My brother is?
Are all older brothers like that?
Do all men dating their younger sisters look like thieves to them?
Sometimes, he looks like a wild beast that's preying on me.
So your brother...
No. He's my brother-in-law now.
Let him know that I'd like to grab drinks with him some time.
Okay.
Your ugly hands became silky hands.
It's because I went to get my nails done today.
Your parents are probably waiting. You should get going now.
You didn't get much sleep at the cabin last night, did you?
Don't worry about anything now and get plenty of rest.
You too.
Bye.
Don't come out. It's really cold outside.
Go on in.
Doo Rim!
What happened?
What about Yi Hyun?
Jin Joo...
Doctor! How is Yi Hyun doing?
We tried our best but we're going to have to see over the next few days.
Jin Joo...
What do we do about Yi Hyun now?
Because of me...
What now...
No...
The curse on the family was not true.
This was all a test to find true love.
I am now the happiest bride in the world
just knowing that I can be with him forever.
If the truth about this is revealed to the world
then not just your family
but the future of Taeyang Group...
Mr. Choi, you're finally home.
Congratulations Mr. Choi!
You've been through so much!
I'm more excited than when our daughter got married!
Courage, determination, perseverance! It's very admirable!
- You're a great man! - What do you mean?
An ill-fated love that not even death can tear apart!
It's so romantic!
Let's go inside. Your father is waiting.
- Okay. - Listen to me.
I'm back, dad.
Thank you for trusting me.
Good job.
There are a lot of stars.
Yi Hyun? How badly was he injured? Where was he injured?
Which hospital is it?
I told you Doo Rim is at the hospital.
Nothing good will come of running into her.
Mom!
Yi Hyun brought it upon himself.
Don't act weak.
In order to achieve great things, small sacrifices are needed.
All that's left is for Kang Ju's mother to wave her white flag and surrender.
Then it will all be over.
Yi Hyun...
How can you just sleep like this all day?
Please open your eyes...
I have so much I want to tell you...
So much... that there's enough for days.
So much that I wasn't sure where to start.
Yi Hyun...
I thought you'd make the right decision.
Please publicly acknowledge Yi Kyung as the daughter-in-law of Taeyang Group.
Whether it's a wedding announcement or press conference.
In whatever way it may be, I'd like it if you could
make some sort of public formal announcement.
Of course.
However, as you know, Kang Ju's grandmother is very ill right now
so we won't be able to do it at this time.
If you give us some time, we will make an official announcement.
It's not that I don't trust you
but you do know that the truth I hold in my hand is
much more dangerous than the truth you're holding?
In a trade, the side that has more to lose typically tend to take more risks.
Tell me what you want.
I'll need you to hand over your stock in Ohsung Construction.
And please sign over your Taeyang Group holdings to Yi Kyung.
At the very least, it's what you should be doing for me to
believe you truly accept Yi Kyung as your daughter-in-law.
Lastly, you'll need to fund the money you
offered to invest in Ohsung Construction.
Oh, and...
I trust that you'll ensure the girl Doo Rim
does not linger in Kang Ju's life anymore.
Just have a bite.
You don't sleep, you don't eat...
What if you lose consciousness from all this too?
How's grandma?
Don't worry.
I told her Yi Hyun was injured at the construction site
and that you've been taking care of him since you got back from Namhae.
Hurry and eat!
You have to eat to have energy.
And you need energy to take care of Yi Hyun.
Yi Hyun! Yi Hyun!
Jin Joo! The doctor! Get the doctor! Now! Hurry!
Yi Hyun! Yi Hyun! Oh no!
Yi Hyun! Yi Hyun! Wake up! Yi Hyun!
Doctor!
Doctor, is he okay?
We're taking care of him so do not worry too much.
Yi Hyun! Yi Hyun! Yi Hyun! Yi Hyun!
I was so interested in what was on the
surface I didn't think to look beyond that.
At an age when I should be looking far beyond
the horizon, I was blinded by the myths.
I've lived a foolish life.
Who can I blame at this point?
I loathe and detest myself for having
believed untrue rumors for most my life.
Today will also be the last time you and I will
be sitting across from each other like this.
I won't drag this out.
Don't show yourself in front of Kang Ju ever again.
Live quietly, as if you don't exist, without
so much as breathing, so as not to be found.
And in return, I will guarantee you your life.
No one from Yi Kyung's family will be able to so much as touch you.
I don't care what happens to me.
But I cannot forgive the guys that did that to Yi Hyun.
Forgiveness is given by someone with power to someone with less power.
Do you think you have such power?
I don't understand.
Why are you just sitting and watching?
It's not because I want to get Kang Ju back.
At first I wanted to tell Kang Ju so I could be with him.
But not now. For the sake of Kang Ju you can't be doing this right now!
The reason is because I do not have the power to forgive them.
I don't know the story behind it all but that's impossible.
It's only right that you are punished for your wrongdoings.
And I will also accept my punishment.
If it doesn't happen right now, it'll never happen.
Are you telling me you think you're worthy
of being a part of the Taeyang Group family?
Are you trying to fulfill your desires by
telling me you'll take any and all punishment?
I told you, this is not because I want to go back to Kang Ju!
I do not want you and Kang Ju connected in any way ever again.
You and Kang Ju have lived in completely different worlds up to now.
There's no way you two can be together nor should you ever be together.
I... did not like Kang Ju because he is an heir to Taeyang Group.
If he was just a normal person...
Then... Maybe he could have been my man.
Until now, I've never regretted being born to my mom and dad.
But as I started to fall for Kang Ju...
Had I been born a woman who is a better match for Kang Ju...
How great would that have been.
There were times where I thought that to myself.
But now, I feel so bad that I ever thought that.
The fact that I thought that even for a brief moment.
I beg you.
If you appear in front of Kang Ju
it will bring him an intense amount of pain.
Disappear.
As if you never existed.
That's what's best for Kang Ju.
Why did you do that mom?
You shouldn't have done that for me.
I made you a criminal. How am I supposed to live with that?
I wanted to be a daughter you could be proud of.
But look at us.
I ruined your life.
Mom...
I'm sorry Myung Hee
It's all my fault...
I made you like this.
It's all my fault you didn't find out about the curse until much later.
Please forgive this foolish and thoughtless mother of yours.
Don't skip meals and make sure to take care of yourself.
You're the caretaker. You can't exhaust yourself.
Don't worry grandma.
Yi Hyun is not one to fall so easily.
He will dust himself right off and be back up and running in no time.
Of course. He's a very strong person.
I'll be back. Don't come out.
Okay. Cheer up!
I don't think she's a ghost.
She's definitely alive.
What happened?
Please take good care of Yi Hyun.
It seems that the person he needs most right now is not us but you, Doo Rim.
If you'd like, you and Yi Hyun can leave together.
I can also find you a place that will be helpful in Yi Hyun's recovery.
Don't act like you care about him!
You just want to get me out of your sight!
Do you think it's because of me?
That Yi Hyun is laying there right now?
If only you hadn't been selfish that wouldn't have happened to Yi Hyun.
You're right. I was blinded by the fact that I
wanted to be with Kang Ju and this happened.
This just may be my punishment for being so greedy.
I'm starting to realize how agonizing the reality I'm faced with is
and what is more frightening than a curse on a family.
People wearing the mask of a human but aren't human.
Who like, starving beasts, attack at any opportunity they get.
Just remember one thing.
If you try to do anything to jeopardize this I cannot guarantee
the safety of your grandmother nor your friend Jin Joo.
I'm starting to feel bad for you.
At the risk of your son's life and
by trying to get rid of another person's life
just what is it that you have to gain?
You wouldn't understand.
Because you come from a different world than us.
If this is the world your people are talking about
then I don't want to be a part of it even if you offer me a load of money.
You people may not like me becoming a part of your world
but I don't like it either, getting mixed up in your world!
I'm never going to forgive you.
I can't even forgive myself for only thinking of what I wanted.
So how can I possibly forgive you?
Until I can forgive myself, I'm going to
live my life making it up to Yi Hyun.
Though I'm not sure doing so for the rest of my life will even be enough.
You know your brother?
He wasn't picking up his phone. Is he really busy?
I didn't tell you?
He got a complaint from a construction site
in Dubai so he left for Dubai two days ago.
It would have been nice to have seen him before he left.
I'm guessing it'll take long since it's an international trip.
My brother actually mentioned that he wants to get drinks when he gets back.
Okay...
My eyes... my voice... the sound of me breathing... Don't remember any of it.
If you can be happy with someone that's not me, that's all that matters.
I wish you well. Goodbye.
Long time no see Roo Mi.
Yeah... I guess it's been a while since you've seen me.
Though I can't say the same.
I already gave my congrats to Kang Ju so I'll pass on that.
Your face has lit up.
You look happy.
Thank you.
Why aren't you wearing your ring?
Didn't you guys get couple rings?
Only you're wearing it.
You didn't give it to another woman, did you?
I'm just kidding.
What man in this world wouldn't recognize his own woman?
Mr. Choi, I'll leave the files for your approval on your desk.
What happened to the ring?
The thing is...
You're not going around acting like you're single behind my back, are you?
I'm sorry, I forgot and left it at home.
You've been weird lately.
Even at the cabin you were telling me you had something to tell me.
What were you going to tell me?
It's nothing.
Yeah right...
You were very serious when you were trying to tell me.
Seriously though, you don't have another man somewhere, do you?
Why don't you stop, Choi Kang Ju.
Let's go now. Your parents are waiting.
- Grandma, I'm back. - Hi.
Why do you look so exhausted?
Are you sick?
No, it's just because I'm a little tired.
This is so good!
It's so tender! Where is this from?
I'll have to order from here more often.
What brings you back here?
You've been blessed with so much good food.
No one's even offered up any food for me in over 100 years.
Then would you like this for now...
Are you mocking me right now?
How do you expect me to accept tainted food?
That was thoughtless of me! I'm very sorry! Please forgive me!
I don't think anyone will be offering any
food for either of us in the afterlife.
In the end, even that girl wasn't able to overcome the wall that is reality.
Since you mentioned it I'd like to know.
Didn't you say that girl would die?
But she's alive and well!
So?
How can you give me false information?
Are you going to pay for it if I have to close shop?
How dare you!
Are you trying to fight with me?
If you don't like it, then I can go somewhere else.
What am I supposed to do if you just leave like this?
I was very wrong! I'm very sorry!
You're not leaving me, are you?
You have to come back, okay?
Do you like it?
Of course I do! I can wear it like this when I go for walks.
Please invite me along when you go for walks.
I'd love to.
I won't be bored if I have someone to talk to.
Mom, take a look at yours too. Yi Kyung
took three laps around the mall for yours.
And I got dragged around for two hours.
Yes, let's see what you got.
Kang Ju gave me a few tips.
He told me you like scarves.
Try it on!
Later.
Try it on!
I said I'll try it on later...
Please don't hate me too much, mother.
I don't expect us to get along very well.
But please do not turn your back on me.
Then things will get much more difficult for all of us.
So?
Grandmother also did not wants things to get more difficult for you.
She did what she could for you.
And you as well.
In order to find a better match for Kang Ju
you gambled with my life.
And you're paying for that right now.
When did you start fencing?
I started to learn for fun in elementary school.
Who are you?
Why are you laughing?
Don't you remember that time?
You put on a one woman show that day.
So sad I was the only one who saw that...
Let's stop talking about the past.
Makes sense. You wouldn't want to talk about such moments.
Yes, I don't remember a thing.
Really? Then want me to help you remember?
What are you doing?
You still don't remember?
What are you doing?
Would you like me to close the door?
What is it?
Dinner is ready.
Let's go now.
Want to grab a snack?
Let's grab a bowl of noodles.
Enjoy!
You like these types of foods?
Try it.
I don't like blood sausage.
The smell alone makes my head hurt.
You went crazy for blood sausage.
You don't have to eat it if you don't want to.
I'll eat it all.
Do you remember this place?
Of all your surprising moments, this was the winner.
You wore that fur coat that looked like it
could keep you warm even in Antarctica.
My friends and I were dressing up like cartoon characters!
You know cosplay, don't you? What do you think?
Don't I look sexy?
I get cold easily.
I remember it was very cold that night.
And you had something weird on your head...
That hat?
My mom gave me that for graduation so I've grown attached to it.
And you didn't even eat the cake I brought you because
you didn't want to get it all over your clothes.
I made sure to get you an organic cake too...
It's so good! It just melts in your mouth!
You should have some too!
How can I eat something like that here?
You got it just for me so I took it home and ate it all by myself.
Don't worry.
Let's go now.
Lastly... There's one more important thing that happened here.
What... else...
Who... are you?
Subtitles by DramaFever
You're not the Jang Yi Kyung that I know.
And if Kang Ju finds out about you...
Act like you don't know. Please.
Who is the woman I put that ring on?
Tell me.
Jang Yi Kyung.
Life must be so easy for you. You can just
buy and sell your heart as you wish.
Snap out of it! You are the heir to Taeyang Group!
If something goes wrong our family can crumble in a matter of moments!
I want to erase it but I can't...
Let me go now.
Yi Hyun!
