[Episode 84]
Manager Han.
Are you okay?
Are you awake now?
What happened here?
You lost consciousness while swimming.
Mr. Park?
The director saved someone's life.
General Manager Kelly was drowning,
when he appeared like Superman and saved her.
Afterwards, he administered mouth-to-mouth resuscitation!
Even as a man myself, I'll admit that he's something else.
He's got a great body!
Kang Se-na, you should be worried.
You may end up losing your husband.
Can you tell me the ingredients...
...of the ice cream you gave me earlier?
The ice cream you had was the mixed fruit frozen yogurt.
Is there some sort of problem?
That ice cream seems to have triggered an allergic reaction.
We've never had any of our customers
complain about allergies before.
It was a mixed fruit frozen yogurt?
Are there oranges in it?
Does it have oranges?
Yes.
But you told me earlier that there aren't any oranges in it.
I'm so sorry.
I misunderstood your question.
Is that your excuse?
Calm down.
We should be thankful that it wasn't worse than it was.
Should we get something warm to drink?
I have to get back to work.
There's something I need to do.
All right, then.
Thank you for today.
I would've been in trouble if it wasn't for you.
Allow me to repay you.
I'll treat you to a meal.
Let's go.
Miss Park, did you get my message and tell everyone?
What?
My goodness...
You made me waste my breath!
I was hoping everyone would know.
What's going on?
General Manager Kelly almost drowned in the swimming pool.
What did you say?
And then what happened?
Director Koo jumped in and saved her life.
I was watching as Director Koo
administered mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
He kissed her?
No, not a kiss, but mouth-to-mouth.
Though, in the end,
there isn't much difference between the two.
Stop!
I'm going out for a while.
Calm down.
Director Koo was just saving Manager Kelly.
It doesn't mean that he loves her.
What do you know, Mr. Hong?
You're munching on snacks during work!
Does this look like a...
A playground?
Do you think this is funny?
Who am I?
The modern day Cinderella...
Then act like you know it!
Cinderella, my foot.
She doesn't realize how ridiculous she is.
What brings you here, Chairman Koo?
I stop by this office often.
I like to visit my employees now and then.
You're a very thoughtful leader.
Welcome, Chief Jin.
What brings you here?
I heard about what happened to the general manager.
Are you okay?
I heard what happened to you.
This medicine will help you to recover.
Words get around quickly.
Thank you.
Wait, General Manager Han.
Did something happen to you?
It wasn't anything serious.
I'm fine.
Well, if you say so.
Are you done here?
Yes.
I have something to discuss with the manager.
Then I'll be on my way.
Chairman, please have a seat.
Let's do so.
You must be getting close to Chief Jin.
Chief Jin is a very good person.
I'm thankful that you think so.
But the one I trust is not Chief Jin, but Chief Kang.
So it seems that you prefer...
...your younger daughter-in-law over your older one?
It's nothing personal.
As far as business is concerned,
Chief Kang is far more knowledgeable.
She's the one who brought you onboard,
is she not?
From now on,
I ask that you consult with her.
I understand.
I'm expecting big things from you.
I'll do my very best to meet those expectations.
All right.
Were you eavesdropping?
After hearing what you said to her,
I couldn't simply ignore it.
Follow me.
I can tell that you want to say something to me.
So why don't you say it?
I had no idea that you felt that way about me.
You told me that you thought of me as your daughter.
You were eavesdropping, so you must have heard me.
I said that it's nothing personal.
I'm your father-in-law at home,
but I'm your chairman here at the company.
I always regard my employees based on their abilities.
Why?
Do you have a problem with that?
No.
I think I was wrong all along.
I'll do my best to gain your respect.
Do you like the work, or do you like the company?
I like working in this company.
I have many fond memories of my father here.
Yea.
He must be feeling proud of you in heaven.
Please guide me so that I can be a better employee.
I want to become a central figure within the company.
Yea, do your best.
Yes.
I'll be on my way now.
Looks like she's starting to unveil her true intentions.
Ah, Chief Moon.
Yes, Chairman.
I want you to look into Director Oh, who is in America.
Why are you looking for Director Oh...?
It seems that Director Oh is trying to help Chief Jin.
How is he trying to do that?
Why would one of your people help her?
He used to belong to Director Hong.
Oh, I see.
I can't seem to locate Director Oh at the moment.
Look for him.
I understand.
Don't worry about him.
Hyun-soo, you're among my best proteges.
I've made you who you are.
You're my son.
Yea.
It's an honor to hear that from you.
You have my loyalty.
You also told Gun-woo that he was a son to you.
And then you exile him to America?
Koo In-soo, you're the one
who's going to be driven out of here.
Chief Jin, welcome.
Have a seat.
I don't know what Father-in-law is planning.
Did you discover anything abnormal?
Chairman Koo is asking me to find Director Oh's whereabouts.
Director Oh used to support my mother.
And he was loyal to my late father.
Why is he trying to locate Director Oh all of a sudden?
Chairman Koo seems to think that Director Oh will help you.
I knew it...
Did you discover anything?
I think there's a secret between our family and Father-in-law.
A secret would mean...
Do you think Kang Se-na's alliance with Chairman Koo
has something to do with that secret?
The thought has crossed my mind.
You're throwing an egg against a brick wall!
Now that we're talking about it,
you'll never become the chairman's daughter-in-law.
Do you know why?
What's the reason?
If you knew what I knew,
you'd probably pass out on the spot.
Their relationship is symbiotic
like the alligators and the bird that picks its teeth.
Why are the two of you together?
Chief Moon's been giving me some development ideas.
Really?
Thanks for looking after my wife.
It's the least I could do for a friend's wife.
Want to have dinner together after work?
I have a previous engagement.
With whom?
I love it when you're jealous.
Where are you going?
I'm taking Mother-in-law to the hospital.
Then I'm going with you.
Yes, Mother-in-law.
Dinner?
Yes, I understand. I'll be home soon.
Mother-in-law's going somewhere.
I'll have to go home to prepare dinner.
I know it's tough for you.
Next time, we'll go to the hospital together with your mother.
All right.
Do-joon.
Yes?
You're going to be a father soon,
so how long are you going to remain as a delivery boy?
Think about a profession.
I'll send you to school.
You'll need money to raise a child, won't you?
Mom, don't worry about us.
Do you have a plan already?
You're going to give me this business anyway.
Since you're going to give it to me anyway,
why not give it to me now?
I didn't raise a daughter, I've raised a thief!
I've wasted my best years raising you,
and all you've given me is grief.
I'm so glad that I gave birth to only one of you.
My goodness...
I'm here.
Oh my, welcome Mr. Koo!
My goodness...
It's so refreshing seeing your face
after staring at them all day!
Brother-in-law, you've arrived?
Yea. Are you doing well?
Yes.
Auntie, you look better and better each time I see you.
What?
Are you telling me that I've gained weight?
How can that be?
I've been on a diet these days,
and I've lost a few pounds...
Look at me again.
That's not what I meant.
Your face is really bright.
Oh, really?
Brother-in-law, it's because my mom's been dating.
Why, you bonehead...!
I'm a widow and I'm past dating, you imbecile.
Do you wear that head on your shoulders for looks?
With a head that large, I bet it's hard for you...
Your dead husband is still your husband!
You should think about him
and remain loyal to him until the day you die!
That's a loyal woman!
Aren't I right, Do-joon?
That's a little...
Shut your mouth, will you?
That hurts!
Auntie, it must be going well with that guy.
When are we going to have wedding noodles?
What are you talking about?
I prefer beef soup instead.
You might get married earlier than me.
Just my luck...
Mother-in-law.
Sis!
Hey, Mr. Koo.
What's going on?
Let's go to the hospital together.
The previous doctor told me that there's no chance for me.
I don't want to hear that I'm an idiot again.
Don't say that.
Anyone would mistake you for a professor.
Who cares about that?
It's not true either way.
I don't even know my own name.
I was mistaking myself for you last time.
No.
You'll get better, Mom.
I'm going to make a lot of money
and make sure you get better treatment.
How much money will we need?
I feel bad for both mother and son.
Darn it...
Mr. Koo, can you help us?
Is it really shameful to ask for help?
It's not a crime to be poor, is it?
If working all your life amounts to nothing in the end,
I'll accept that.
But I feel so bad that I don't have the means
to help my Big Sis.
Right now, you're the only one who can help her.
Don't you worry.
Mother-in-law's treatment is my responsibility now.
Oh my!
Thank you, Mr. Koo!
I can finally breathe because of you!
Thank you.
Mother-in-law, let's go to the hospital together.
Let's go tomorrow.
It's closed for today.
I've already scheduled an appointment.
The doctor will take extra good care of you.
Did Woo-joo's grandfather have his dinner?
Yea, okay. Good work, my daughter-in-law.
Yea, I'll be home soon.
Oh my, Hwa-kyung?
What are you doing here?
I'm here to visit my friend.
Now that we're old, everyone's getting sick.
We're going to end up having a reunion at the hospital.
Are you trying to help with her memories?
Is there any hope for that?
Mom, can we talk for a moment?
You want to keep her treatments a secret?
Why does it have to be a secret?
Don't ask why and keep this from father too.
Please, Mom.
Do you think he'll have a problem with you
taking care of your in-laws?
I know he's inconsiderate and a miser,
but he's starting to show some compassion as of late.
Not that it's saying much.
Mom, you need a gold medal for your compassion.
It's good that you know!
I thought I needed to teach you that.
So turn a blind eye to this, okay?
Oh my. All right, my son.
How can I refuse a request from my oldest son?
Mother-in-law.
Don't worry, stay seated.
You may not have had much luck with your husband,
but you've got the best son-in-law!
When you smile like that,
you seem more intelligent than me.
I don't understand what's wrong.
It's breaking my son's heart.
Mr. Koo,
I'm a burden on you, aren't I?
I'm sorry.
No, not at all.
I hope you remain with us for a long time to come.
They say that a pretty wife makes you beholden to her entire family.
Am I going to lose my son?
Mom...
I'm glad that Mr. Koo has two arms.
Goodness...
Have you ever seen anyone with three arms?
My goodness...!
Mom, got it?
Don't worry, my son.
I live and die by loyalty.
I never break a promise.
This is why I look up to you, Mom.
All mothers in the world deserve respect.
Go upstairs and go to bed.
Get some rest.
Okay.
What did the doctor say about my mom?
Come sit down.
Let's keep your mother's treatments a secret.
Of course.
There's a good chance that she'll recover her memories.
I know that you were depressed these days.
Don't be too worried.
I'm sure that things will work out.
Okay. I'll try to be positive.
That way, good things are bound to happen.
Good thinking.
I'm going to tell Father-in-law that you're helping Jin Song-ah.
Okay.
Do it if you can.
I still have plenty of pictures to send to you.
Stop touching that chair!
This sofa is worth more than you.
Are you trying to bleed me dry?
Bingo.
Since we were once lovers,
you know exactly what I'm thinking.
Should I predict your future for you?
You're not going to hold on,
and you're going to crumble from within.
Only then will I accept that there's justice in this world.
Hey, hey!
Why are you beating the sofa?
Do you have any idea how much this is worth?
Luckily, you didn't leave any marks.
Go and get me a dry towel.
Mother, do you care more about the sofa than me?
If you and the sofa both fell into the water,
I'd go after the sofa.
I heard that there were going to be some layoffs.
Really?
I've received word that we'll be experiencing turbulent winds
from within the company...
I'm so nervous.
Mr. Hong.
If you always did your job,
you wouldn't have to worry about lay-offs.
Is it true that there's to be lay-offs?
This is why Father prefers me over you.
How can you be unaware of something
even your employee knows?
Lay-offs will be the only way the JH Group can survive.
That's nonsense. We can't allow this.
We can't simply fire people we've been working with for years!
We must take certain measures in the current circumstance.
And right now, the company is in dire straits.
I agree with General Manager Han.
She's a widely-acclaimed management consultant.
She's here to save our company, so let's believe in her.
We are in trouble,
but not to the extent where we need to let go of people.
I believe we should begin by scaling back the resort project.
I completely agree with Director Koo.
I support General Manager Han.
Chairman.
Chairman, please set an example.
If you lack the merit,
even the executives won't be shielded from the lay-offs.
General Manager Han, do you want to fire anyone here?
I do.
Who is it?
That would be General Manager Koo Kang-mo.
What are the grounds for my termination?
You're currently developing a new water filter, aren't you?
I am. Is that a problem?
An investor looking towards the future
never looks toward a downward slope.
If you're willing to shut down the water filter business,
I'll withdraw your termination request.
This is blackmail!
Listen to General Manager Han!
Give it up for the greater good.
No.
I'll prove that you're making the wrong decision.
Our company will only survive through water filters,
not resorts!
I'll give you a week's time.
The choice will be yours.
That'll end our meeting for today.
If you think you can overtake our company,
you're sorely mistaken.
Because I'll make sure and stop you.
I'll look forward to it.
I wouldn't mind engaging you in a fight.
Mrs. Hong, I left something behind by accident.
Can you bring the documents on the desk to my company?
Yes.
It's an emergency!
The general manager is about to be fired!
You're not lying, right?
Why would I be lying right now?
Serious?
What's going on right now?
General Manager Han is requesting the termination
of General Manager Koo.
What?
Director!
Director, you must recover your memories soon!
Who are you?
I'm Mr. Hong.
But that's not what's important.
Your son-in-law, General Manager Koo,
may get axed!
Who's going to axe my son-in-law?
I thought he'd be safe since he's the chairman's son...
A new witch by the name of Kelly is holding the axe!
Kelly...?
Miss Kelly shouldn't be doing that!
I think she's getting worse.
You've arrived quickly...
Miss Kelly,
don't fire my son-in-law, Mr. Koo.
Fire me instead.
Lady, don't do this. Go back home.
If Mr. Koo is fired, it'll make Song-ah cry!
I'm begging you!
Please have mercy on Mr. Koo!
Please...!
Mom, get up right now.
But Mom, how did you get here?
Song-ah, that's not what's important right now.
What will happen if Miss Kelly fires Mr. Koo?
Can you two take this discussion outside?
I have things to do here.
Is this why you were good to me?
Is this what I get for believing in you?
There's no room for compassion in the company,
only abilities and results.
Why don't you show me your abilities instead, Chief Jin?
You're arrogant.
I haven't even started yet,
but I assume that my next fight will be with you.
Song-ah.
I'm nervous.
What if you and your husband get fired?
Mom, don't worry.
Who's going to drive us out?
This is my father's company.
I'll make sure things go back to where they belong!
That's only logical!
What did you say?
