Bride of the Centruy
Episode 8
Don't talk about breaking off the wedding to grandma yet.
She doesn't know about anything that's been going on.
Let's go inside.
Mom! Dad!
Hi!
What are you doing here?
Why would you ask such a thing? It's not like I don't belong here.
I came to introduce myself to grandma.
Let's go inside.
Are you going to stand there all day?
What are you doing?
Why are you here?
You don't have to come inside if you don't want to.
What happened?
I stopped by Kang Ju's office and they said he was here.
Did I make a mistake by coming here?
No, it was a good call.
We'll talk more about it later.
But...
What is all this?
This...
I wanted to see what she'd say so told her I wanted
hand-made knife noodles since it takes a lot of work.
I didn't think she'd actually be able to do it.
What? Are you upset that I'm putting your future wife to work?
No.
How's work? It's not too hard?
He's doing much better than we'd anticipated.
Aside from that, how's your health, grandma?
You look thinner than the last time I saw you.
You tend to break here and there when you age.
Our Kang Ju is already about to make a 100 year commitment.
That will be one worry taken off my list.
You can go out and join the conversation. I can finish up in here.
How will you do all this work alone? Let's do it together.
Can we have someone come in your place then?
What the heck are you doing right now in someone else's home?
Why is this someone else's home?
Grandma will be sad if she hears that.
Why don't you just live here?
That's a good idea.
Should I just cling on to this home like white on rice?
You doing this doesn't change anything.
Don't waste your energy.
Do it right! Are you really that weak? And you call yourself a man?
You seriously...
Hi.
Yi Hyun!
Why are you acting like this?
You're not going to talk to me and you're not even going to look at me?
Why do you think I'm acting like this?
Is it because you don't like me standing back and watching?
Do you think I like you going along with whatever mom wants to do?
I know you're mad at me.
- But... - I'm not mad at you.
I don't even have the right to be mad at you.
It's because I'm mad at myself.
Forcing you into this marriage when you don't want to
and Doo Rim faking to be you... I don't like any of it.
But because there's nothing else I can do... because this is all I'm worth...
Yi Hyun.
Lee Roo Mi...
What do you think grandma?
Is it to your liking?
Yes. It's good.
She'd do well if you open up a restaurant for her later on.
The noodles are very chewy and the soup is refreshing.
Thank you grandma.
Eat it before it gets cold.
Talk to Kang Ju about giving you a spot at the mall.
What do you think?
Did you not hear what your dad said?
Grandma, doesn't it smell like something is burning?
I'm not sure. Did you leave something on the stove?
Can't you smell my heart being burned to ashes right now?
Kang Ju must be really difficult.
Grandma, the truth is...
What's wrong with you?
What did I do?
It's because you don't know her that well grandma.
She's nothing but trouble if you let her free in public.
You never know what trouble she's going to cause next so...
Do not cause such a fuss with your father and grandmother at the table.
I'm sorry.
Grandma, try a dumpling.
I heard you don't like meat so I made
yours with just mushroom and vegetables.
Really?
It's clean and delicious.
Mom and dad, try one too.
Thank you.
What brings you here unannounced?
You don't look happy to see me at all.
I'm assuming you're not here to waste time and chat.
What do you want?
About the break up.
What are you going to do?
Why? Do you think once I'm out of the
picture, the spot will be yours to take?
That won't be happening.
Kang Ju already knows why I gave you the wedding gift.
Which is also the exact reason why he wants to call off the wedding.
What are you talking about?
You don't know?
What the heck? Kang Ju didn't say anything to you?
Tell me what it is.
You know about those rumors that went around
in the media about his family a few years ago.
By rumor do you mean...
That the first wife of the first born son is sacrificed.
What do you think about it?
What do you mean? Of course it makes no sense.
What doesn't make sense is that Kang Ju believes those rumors.
- Then... - You're right.
He's trying to call off the wedding because
he's afraid something might happen to you.
For him to call off the wedding, that means he really has feelings for you.
So I'm curious as to what you're thinking.
I want to know what you're going to do.
Kang Ju will need to go separately so you and Il Do can take my car.
Take good care of them.
I don't see Mr. Hong.
He quit.
Why so suddenly?
Something came up at home so he is moving back home to the suburbs.
Really? I'll have to say bye to him separately.
- What for? - He was like family to us.
I should at least say goodbye.
You have enough to worry about with the wedding as it is.
I made sure to compensate him generously so don't worry about him.
We'll get going now.
Okay.
- Get home safe! - Okay!
- Grandma, I'll come by again soon. - Okay. Good work today.
Thank you. It was a lot of fun today.
Grandma, go on inside, we're going to go now too.
Okay. Get going now.
You still haven't found Man Soo?
Okay. Call me as soon as you find him.
You were threatening me not too long ago.
And now where have you gone off to?
Get out.
Don't be fooled.
I have no intention of doing anything with you.
I just went with the flow today because my grandma was there.
Nothing you do will make me change my mind.
- I know. - What do you know?
I know why you're acting like this.
And everything that you're thinking, will never happen.
Nothing is going to happen to me.
Stop it.
Kang Ju...
Even if it means dying a single man
I will never marry you.
Even if the Earth was to split in half I would never marry you.
Says who? If it was for any other reason I might understand
but not for this! I will not back down!
Really? I suppose. You are a bit dense in the head.
Do whatever you want.
Yi Hyun.
About Choi Kang Ju.
You heard what Roo Mi said earlier, didn't you?
That...
I'll be right back.
Yi Hyun.
30 years ago...
When you went on your honeymoon...
I drove Ms. Seo to the beachfront cabin you were staying at.
She asked me to leave her alone for a bit
so I parked the car near the cabin
and left her alone for a bit.
I didn't hear from her for a long time
so I went back to where I'd left her
and there was a woman who'd been hit by a car laying on the ground.
Ms. Seo looked so taken over with fear she couldn't think properly.
Did you see it all with your own eyes?
I didn't see for myself
but it was very obvious what had happened.
I didn't know what had happened until later.
That the woman who'd been hit by the car was the woman you married...
Whenever that song is on, you never let anyone go near dad.
Because it's when your father prefers to be alone.
But you've always been alone.
Did you talk things out with Yi Kyung?
Don't give her such a hard time.
- Yi Kyung just... - Do you...
Want for me to turn out like you and dad?
Kang Ju...
Don't try to lock me up inside the world you've created for yourself.
You will not get what you want.
Are you dating someone new?
This tie... am I right?
Who gave you this tie?
Who was it from?
Later.
What are you doing in here?
Mom, do you know who gave this to him?
It was Doo Rim's birthday present to Yi Hyun.
Doo Rim?
When did you get here?
It's cold outside. Is Jin Joo not inside?
Did you see Choi Kang Ju today?
Yes. His grandmother came back from abroad
so I went over to his grandmother's...
Stop it.
What?
It's hard for me to see you with Choi Kang Ju.
Yi Hyun, what do you mean...
I wanted to stop you from acting on behalf of Yi Kyung sooner
but I couldn't bring myself to stop you.
But I can't watch you anymore.
I can't stand it.
Yi Hyun...
At first I thought it was just sympathy.
Because your hand felt so different than Yi Kyung's.
But at some point, whenever I held your hand, all my fears disappeared
and I thought I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you by my side.
Will you accept this?
I'm sorry Yi Hyun.
Is it because of Choi Kang Ju?
Why of all people...
I know!
I'm just the knock-off. I know it's impossible.
I started this because I needed the money
but I can't figure out what I'm feeling now.
I can't take your hand feeling the way I do right now.
I need to talk to you.
Mom said Doo Rim gave you this tie.
Is Doo Rim the woman you said you like?
How can you like such a girl...
You just went to see Doo Rim, didn't you?
Was that ring you were holding earlier for Doo Rim?
Did you actually propose to her?
What are you thinking?
Stop. I was rejected anyways.
She rejected you?
The reason Doo Rim rejected you...
is it... by chance, Choi Kang Ju.
Things are turning out to be very interesting.
If we just use Doo Rim's feelings she will make the
decisions herself without us having to do anything.
Use Doo Rim's feelings?
Are you telling me to shovel this right now?
Move out the way.
You don't have a mom either... Don't worry, I'll be your mom.
What do you mean break off the wedding?
Why did you suddenly change your mind?
It's just as you heard.
We've decided to call off the wedding.
Why so suddenly?
Do you know the real reason why Kang Ju is trying to call off the wedding?
It's because of a curse that's been passed
through the generations in that family.
You may not know about it.
I heard that was just a story people made up.
I was told it's not true.
You knew about it?
Yes.
Then why didn't you tell me?
Choi Kang Ju's father asked me not to say anything...
Plus it doesn't even make sense.
Who would believe such a thing?
So I didn't feel the need to tell you...
We looked into it secretly...
And it looks like there were talks about
marriage with a few other families before us.
But the women's families all said no to the marriage.
Why do you think that was?
It was most likely because they didn't want to risk their daughters' lives.
And here we are completely in the dark about it...
But to break off a wedding for that reason...
Anyways, I cannot let Yi Kyung marry into such a family.
So you can walk away from all this too.
You don't have to try so hard to make Kang Ju change his mind.
I'm going to talk to Kang Ju's mom today and wrap everything up.
You cannot meet Choi Kang Ju ever again.
Do you understand?
Why can't you answer me?
Okay... I understand.
Yi Hyun...
Did you come to see my mom?
Yes...
So you heard?
Do you also believe it?
No.
Then why aren't you stopping her?
Shouldn't you stop her?
Why do you think I didn't stop her?
Bye.
It's because I don't want to see you with Choi Kang Ju anymore.
I came because there's something I want to
confirm before going to see your mother.
What is the real reason you want to break up with Yi Kyung?
Tell me the truth.
If anything, for Yi Kyung.
I think you already know everything.
I want to hear it directly from you.
It is for the very reason you're thinking.
Thank you for telling me the truth.
I guess this is as far as we're meant to go.
I have one last favor to ask you.
If you really care about Yi Kyung, no matter what she says,
don't ever see her again.
You have nothing to gain by calling off this wedding.
Regardless of how desperate I am
what parent in the world would sell their
daughter's life to save their own.
So are you saying you want to call off this wedding?
For no other reason than a senseless rumor?
I think you know better whether this makes sense or not.
I will tell you very clearly right now.
We will not be moving forward with this wedding. No, we cannot.
Does Yi Kyung feel the same way?
Considering she came to Kang Ju's grandmother's of her own free will...
I can just convince Yi Kyung otherwise.
Let me tell you again. Over my dead body will this wedding be happening.
I'm not so sure things will go the way you want.
Who does she think she is trying to cancel the wedding...
If you really care about Yi Kyung, no matter what she says,
don't ever see her again.
You hold the key to this situation.
Depending on the decision you make
the result will also change.
Put everything behind you, move to Seoul with your grandmother,
and work hard to make the restaurant successful.
Hi.
How did your interview go?
I was rejected because I don't speak English...
I was rejected because I'm not pretty enough...
I was rejected because my family isn't wealthy...
There were too many reasons why I didn't get a job.
Jin Joo... What do you think about working at a restaurant with me?
It's a small place so I can't pay a lot
but I'll give you as much as most others.
And if business does well I'll give you a pay raise
plus bonuses!
I think it'd be really awesome if we could work together...
Right? I'm asking for too much?
Sorry. I just thought I'd ask...
If you promise me paid holidays and vacation with salary, then I say yes.
Okay.
Boss Na Doo Rim, I look forward to working for you.
Jin Joo, let's become rich!
Let's become rich and... You said you want to eat at a French restaurant?
- Yes! - We'll go there and eat a full meal!
- Buy designer brand handbags! - Go on vacation!
- Get a boyfriend! - We can do it!
Hello! It's the Taste of Doo Rim!
Sweet potato, coffee and dessert are free.
I like free.
I'll eat this today.
- Enjoy! - Thank you!
- Come back soon! - Goodbye!
Hello!
Hi!
Welcome!
Wow, you have a lot of customers.
When is the grilled tuna coming out?
And extra order of seafood pancake please!
Okay! Just a moment please!
- Ma'am more spicy radish please! - Okay!
- Have a seat here. - Okay.
- One more bowl of rice please! - Okay!
An extra bowl of rice please.
Mr. Choi, aren't you going home?
It's late...
You can go ahead.
To the success of Taste of Doo Rim!
Everyone worked so hard today!
We were running around all day we barely got to eat!
Eat up!
Grandma, don't worry! We are strong!
Thank you so much for setting Doo Rim up with this place.
You don't have to. I told you Doo Rim saved my life.
I had a near-accident but Doo Rim came in
and saved me at the construction site.
This is the least I can do for someone who saved my life.
Is that really the only reason?
You don't have any other reason?
- Excuse me? - What I'm trying to say is...
Is it also because you have feelings for Doo Rim...
Grandma! Your glass is empty.
Grandma, shall we take a love shot together?
Don't do it with me. Take one with Yi Hyun instead!
Love shot! Love shot! Love shot! Love shot!
Grandma, take a love shot with me!
I can't do that at my age!
Take one with me!
Doo Rim, on a night like this, we can't leave out the singing.
Sing a song for us!
- Sing a song! - Alright!
I'll see you later.
Please give this to your mom.
They're our grand opening rice cakes and
I packed some food in there as well.
Yi Hyun...
Thank you... A lot.
And... I'm sorry.
You don't have to be sorry.
If you're sorry then I feel like I really don't have a chance.
I'll wait for you. Out there somewhere.
Until you get there.
I wish you the best, President Na Doo Rim.
Bye.
Doo Rim! Look at this!
This is how much we made today!
We'll be rich in no time.
Grandma, aren't you tired?
Grandma, go in and get some rest. We'll take care of the rest here.
Okay. After running around all day, I'm tired.
I'm going to go inside and rest myself.
Good night grandma!
564,800 won!
We're closed...
Mr. Kim!
I found the right place.
What brings you here...
I saw your Kakao status.
Hope the business flourishes!
Thank you.
I'm not sure if it was rude of me to come so late.
No, I'm glad to see you.
I worked with him at the mall.
She's my boss.
Hello!
Hello. I have a bit of a cold.
- Cold. - I see...
Thank you for coming.
I'm sorry I came so late. I tried to come earlier
but my boss was still working...
Is Mr. Choi doing well?
Not at all.
He barely eats these days and just stares off into space all day.
Why is that?
I think he broke up with his fiance.
I heard there will be a formal announcement soon.
You two can chat some more.
I'm going to prepare some snacks to munch on...
Wait just a bit longer. I'll make sure you and Doo Rim see each other soon.
Please give this to Mr. Choi.
It's not much but since he hasn't been eating a whole lot lately
I included some of our grand opening rice cakes and other foods.
I'll get these to him.
Okay.
Then... Get home safely.
Jin Joo.
Is it okay if I come again?
- What? - I can't?
No, well...
I'll be back.
Doo Rim!
What's wrong? Are you feeling sick?
No... Just tired...
Did Mr. Kim leave?
What's with all that food?
I gave it to him because you asked me to...
Just because! Since we opened and all...
Just for him to get a taste.
What I'm saying is, whether Choi Kang Ju gets a
taste or not, it has nothing to do with you now.
You don't...
What's going on with you and Mr. Kim?
Have you two progressed that much?
Don't change the subject!
I can see clearly that you're silently suffering from heartbreak.
Don't keep it all in and tell me.
There's nothing we can't tell each other.
You'll make yourself sick if you don't say whatever is on your mind.
Do not overreact Miss Oh Jin Joo.
It's not like that.
What will we do with him...
You scared me!
You never do that! You scared the life out of me.
He looks like a floating soul with clothes on.
That's what I was thinking.
I feel so bad for him.
As soon as you're done with your meeting
at 10, you have a business show taping.
And this.
What is this?
Food. Remember Oh Jin Joo?
She opened up a restaurant and asked me to give this to you.
- I'll eat it later. - Okay.
Kang Ju!
Why are you ignoring me?
I took time out of my busy schedule to come and be your friend.
Do you love Yi Kyung?
From what I see, I don't think so.
What is it that you want to hear?
Mom told me everything.
It's not like you're trying to film some horror show.
I don't understand why you believe the
stories about our family being haunted.
So was breaking off the wedding the best idea you
could come up with with that brain of yours?
You're letting her go because you love her?
All that is bull.
When you love someone with your whole heart
you won't want to let her go.
Love is selfish.
You want that person to yourself and you want to constantly touch her,
You definitely don't want to lose her.
Aren't you able to let Yi Kyung go because
that's how much you don't like her?
I'm only asking because I'm genuinely worried about you.
What is this that's been sitting here?
Wow! My brother is carrying around a packed meal!
Let's see what's in here...
Wow! What is all this? Dumplings...
The dumpling filling is mushroom and vegetables. It's good!
Why is it so sour?
What is this?
Amazing! Kang Ju, they're sweet potatoes!
It's good! Want to try some?
But these taste weird together!
Oh my! Your body is like a ball of fire!
Get up! Let's go to the hospital!
No. I'll be okay if I take medicine.
Your boy is not made of steel. Will medicine suffice?
It's because I overworked myself for a few days. I'll be okay.
Will you really be okay?
Oh dear...
Hi Ms. Ma.
You did a good job decorating the place.
- Your grandmother? - She went to the store.
How's business? Is it going well?
Thanks to you.
Can we talk?
About Yi Hyun...
You know how he feels about you, don't you?
- So I wanted to say... - Don't worry.
I know what you're going to say.
You don't have to worry about anything happening.
May I ask why you turned Yi Hyun down?
It's because...
Was it because of Kang Ju by chance?
I must be right.
I saw Kang Ju lingering in front of our house and just leaving.
He looked up into Yi Kyung's room for a long time
and then left...
I didn't know you two were that serious about each other.
Ms. Ma I...
I didn't come here to blame you.
I'm sorry.
You have nothing to be sorry about.
It's just heartbreaking for me to watch when I
know there's no way you two can be together.
Do not worry too much about it.
I'm okay.
I've already forgotten about it all.
You haven't eaten yet, have you?
Try our food.
Okay. I haven't had your cooking in a while.
Wait just a little bit.
What's wrong with her? Doo Rim!
Doo Rim wake up!
Doo Rim! Doo Rim!
She's been overworked and her body couldn't handle it anymore.
She'll need to get rest for a few days.
Hello Ms. Ma.
What?
- Grandma, we have a customer! - You're right.
Please wait a little bit.
Doo Rim!
- Are you the owner? - Yes!
I saw your flyer and made a long trip to arrive here
but there was no one here so I've been sitting here sipping on plain water.
I'm sorry!
Where did Doo Rim go?
There's something unusual about the energy here.
There are spirits lingering here.
Everything about this place is great but the
owner may experience bad luck unexpectedly.
What does that mean?
Grandma! Nothing in the world is free!
But if you bring me out something to drink
and an entree I will tell you everything.
Okay! Let's do that!
Hold on!
Preferably the most expensive dish you have here.
- Of course! Wait just a little bit! - Okay.
Salt!
Grandma, what are you doing?
You look completely normal... Do you not have anything better to do?
What? Did you think you could take advantage of me because I'm old?
Did you think I wouldn't know you're trying
to con me by running that mouth of yours?
You jerk!
What do you mean con? You don't know me very well but
I am a big deal!
I've been reading people's fortunes for years!
You worthless fool! You need to get your butt kicked to come to your senses!
You damn fool!
That hurts grandma!
Don't ever come back here!
What the heck!
So embarrassing!
The energy in there is extraordinary...
It doesn't seem like it's coming from the grandma.
That's so odd...
Dumb kid... He better never come back.
Grandma! Bad news! Doo Rim is at the hospital.
What?
Kang Ju?
Is that you Kang Ju?
Are you really Kang Ju?
Are you okay?
How did you know I was here?
Your mom told me.
I'm glad you're okay.
Bye.
I missed you!
A lot.
I tried to erase you from my memory...
But I couldn't do it.
It was a first.
Because of you I laughed, got mad, fought and felt pain.
It was all a first for me.
I didn't think I had a heart.
I tried so hard not to let anyone in...
But you... were the first person that I ever let into my heart.
The curse on my family.
What do I have to do to make you believe it?
How can I prove to you that it's not a made up story and that it's the truth?
If I can make you believe it and will turn away?
If something happens to you...
I will resent myself for the choice I made
and live the rest of my life hating myself.
My choice to break up with you right now.
I don't regret it.
Kang Ju.
I'll miss you.
A lot.
But...
I'm not going to come see you ever again.
I'm not even going allow us to randomly bump into each other in the streets.
Because that's the only way I know how to protect you.

I love you.
Don't throw your life away because of me.
Kang Ju!
- I told you. I felt... - Bad for Doo Rim?
Okay. Let's say that's what it was.
What I'm scared of most is never seeing you again.
Please give me your blessing. I came to get your blessing.
Where did you get this bracelet?
- What are you doing? - Where did you get it?
You can protect this home...
I need to protect the owner of my heart.
