(Episode 125)
Stop it. I have to get to mom!
No! No!
Aran!
Aran! Aran!
Aran!
Aran! Aran!
Aran! Are you okay?
Aran, wake up.
My poor Aran...
Aran! Aran!
This is it.
This is the phone with the evidence, right?
I have to get to the hospital.
My mom...
You spied on me with this.
I trusted you.
How could you betray me?
Please call the hospital.
Darn it.
I can just delete the pictures
of the evidence you took.
What did you think you could do with these?
I'm in the clear now.
Father... Father...
You'll report me to the police?
How can you when I have the evidence?
Aran.
My poor Aran.
What will happen to her? Aran!
Aran!
Aran! Aran!
Aran.
It's a relief that you're a perfect match
for mom's transplant, but...
Aran?
What is this?
Aran can give her liver to her mother?
But where is Aran?
Where did she go?
She was in a traffic accident.
She's unconscious and unstable.
Ma'am, can you hear me?
Ma'am! Ma'am!
Can you hear me?
Won't it be better for you to stay a while longer?
What for?
Even the doctor said
unless something's wrong,
I can rest at home until the transplant.
But it'd be more reassuring if you stayed here.
I agree with Gukhui.
Hospitalization doesn't suit her.
She can spend more time with us and
rest more comfortably at home.
How can both girls be a match?
It's not easy to find a compatible donor,
even among your children.
You're very lucky.
The eldest has really come through.
The doctor said Aran,
in particular, is a perfect match.
Aran's agreed to be your donor, right?
I'll discuss it with Aran.
What's there to discuss?
You both said you'd do it,
and Aran's more compatible.
Anyway, it all worked out.
We're all relieved.
Mother will recover
after the transplant.
Of course.
I haven't said this before,
but Gukhui's such a tough cookie
that she can scare away most illnesses.
Thank you all for your concern.
I'll get better quickly
so I can stop worrying you.
Where's Aran?
We got disconnected earlier.
She was on her way to the hospital.
Maybe she's getting secondary tests done.
I should've waited
for her at the hospital.
We should've.
They're trying to find her family's contact info.
Okay.
Keep monitoring her as
she may destabilize.
Okay.
This wouldn't have happened
if you had just stayed put.
This is your fault.
You brought this upon yourself.
(Taeho)
(Organ Transplantation Center)
It's a relief that you're a perfect match
for mom's transplant, but...
So you could've saved your mother?
You, Aran?
Why won't Aran pick up?
I saw her talking with President An earlier.
There was tension as if
they were at odds...
It's probably nothing.
I see.
Hello?
The hospital?
Aran is?
Yes, okay.
Aran!
Aran, what's wrong?
What happened?
She was in a traffic accident.
Her vitals have stabilized,
but she's still unconscious.
Please wake up, Aran!
This is all because I'm pathetic.
When will my wife wake up?
She's okay, right? Right?
Aran. Aran!
Aran.
Where is he?
He's not picking up either.
Please be patient.
Here he is.
Gilsu.
Where were you?
We waited forever.
Seonyeong...
Never mind. It's nothing.
You kept saying you were busy,
so I brought the tailor here.
Come stand here.
Please get his measurements.
We want something fitted
as is the trend these days.
Go with the color I chose.
Yes, ma'am.
Seonyeong.
I know.
It won't take long.
Please hurry.
President An is a very busy man.
But please put the utmost care into it.
It's for a very special event.
Seonyeong.
You said
it was the first full-staff event
since you became CEO.
You must look your best, President An.
Right?
I'm... I'm...
I'm a scumbag, right?
What are you talking about?
What's the matter?
Do you know what I've just done?
Do you have any idea?
Gilsu!
What's gotten into him?
Aran.
Why did you do it?
Why?
I have to get to the hospital.
My mom...
This is your doing.
You did this to me!
It's all your fault!
We can do this.
We can't be outdone by chickens.
I'll scatter the seeds
to lure them.
Who will catch it then?
Me?
Should we ask Uncle Baedal?
Uncle Baedal.
Is this really necessary?
All chickens are the same.
The ones at the supermarket
were just like them when they were alive.
That's right.
You're really going the extra mile.
They say good food is better than medicine.
Baedal.
Baedal, over there.
That one.
This one?
The biggest one in the back.
I'm scared! I'm scared.
I'm sorry, little chicken!
Geez. So you had to go and get
free-range chickens?
Why go to the unnecessary trouble?
They were raised in the open
on organic feed.
Thanks, kids.
What a treat thanks to you guys.
Thank you too, Gukhui.
I'm grateful,
but you're fussing
too much over me.
We don't do this every day,
and the doctor said
you must eat well to
build up your strength
for faster post-op recovery.
Go on in.
We'll show off our cooking chops.
Can we trust you?
I don't know if we can trust you.
It's too crowded here,
so please go.
We'll prepare a full-course meal.
Go on.
You planned this?
Go on in.
You guys made all this?
My goodness.
Where's mother?
Here she is.
What's the special occasion for this feast?
You always say one needs
energy even to love,
so eat away.
Good grief.
When did I say that?
Stop your nonsense and let's eat.
Yes. Sit.
Thank you for the lovely meal.
Bon appetit.
Thanks.
Oh, my.
But you never get greedy over food.
Maru should have the drumstick for his hard work.
Thank you.
You're the best.
Wow. As they say, a son-in-law
is the apple of his mother-in-law's eye.
Take good care of Bom.
I'm sorry I have nothing else to offer.
Forget about it.
At his age, he's got more
energy than he needs.
Is it because you want a grandchild?
I wish you good health, mother.
My goodness.
Since when have you looked out for me?
I'm okay.
You eat your fill.
Yes, Mr. Park.
Just a moment, please.
Yes.
Ms. Kim's seeing someone.
No way.
She can't be dating at her age.
Isn't it good for mother to dance
and enjoy herself?
Of course.
Hi, Taeho.
What?
Aran was in an accident?
Aran!
What happened?
A traffic accident.
She's out of the woods for now.
We couldn't get a hold of her,
so we thought she was getting tested.
She'll be okay, Bom.
Let's keep our cool.
Aran.
Aran, open your eyes.
I'm here now.
She's still in a coma.
It may be a while until she wakes up.
Where did she get hurt that
she's still unconscious?
The accident happened a while ago, right?
My poor child...
How could this happen?
Gukhui, pull yourself together.
Calm down.
Mom.
It's one thing after another at Gukhui's.
You don't say.
Gukhui's cancer is bad enough,
but then with Aran's accident...
What if Aran doesn't make it?
How can you say that, Baedal?
She'll be fine.
That's right.
Aran seems like a tough cookie.
She'll overcome it.
Of course she will.
So let's not despair as it will
only make Gukhui feel worse.
And we can't alarm Ms. Kim.
What about Gukhui's transplant?
Aran was going to be the donor
as she was the perfect match.
Will Bom have to be the donor now?
Yes.
I had a great time today, too.
Yes. Should we go to Ojang-dong
for cold noodles next time?
Cold noodles would be great.
I like spicy cold noodles.
What about you, Ms. Kkonnim?
Spicy cold noodles?
I see.
I like cold noodle soup.
We can order
one of each and share.
Even our food choices make us a great match.
Pardon?
Meet my children?
In due time...
Ms. Kim, let's get some sleep!
This isn't fair.
Every single night....
Geez!
No. It's nothing.
Yes. Yes.
Your laughter is as pretty as your name.
Oh, my. That's right.
Kim Kkonnim.
I'm as sweet as my name.
Thank you for your gentlemanly comment.
I'll call you tomorrow.
Yes, okay.
Mother,
your phone's on fire these days.
You didn't even have chicken
because you got a call.
Are you really seeing someone...
You'll have to raise my spending money.
Mom!
This isn't the time to discuss your allowance!
Hon.
You'll deny your mother
money she needs?
I raised you kids for nothing!
Don't be so mad, Ms. Kim.
Jeongmi's just frustrated.
Why is she frustrated?
I can't even sleep at night because
my heart pounds so hard.
Why, Ms. Kim?
Are you unwell?
Mom, are you ill?
You shouldn't be ill, mom.
Like you care.
No.
That's not the heart I'm talking about.
When the second test result
comes out, I'll be the donor.
But Bom...
I'll get tested again.
I wanted to do it from the get-go.
I'll recover in no time.
Everyone else is out of it because of Aran.
I must look out for mom.
I can't even tell you I'm worried
or that I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry?
I'm sorry for
worrying my hubby.
I'll be better to you once
I recover after the surgery.
I'll make it up to you for your
understanding and support.
- Gukhui. / - Mother.
Let's go.
Let's wait at home for Aran to wake up.
No. I'll just stay here.
You'll damage your health.
If you wait at home,
I'll call you.
Aran will wake up soon.
They say she's doing much better.
Taeho,
go and get Aran's things
while I wait here.
She'll need toiletries
when she wakes up.
I'll take care of all that.
Aran will be up soon,
so hurry.
I won't be long then.
How did she get into an accident?
She has no fractures,
so why is she in a coma?
She's really a handful.
She's causing Taeho so much grief.
Seonyeong. Will you be quiet?
I'm just upset, okay?
Do you think I'm happy about this?
Hey, son.
I'm so sorry.
You poor thing.
Why does Aran have such bad luck?
Her family goes bankrupt,
then her mother gets cancer,
and now she gets into an accident.
Stop it, mom.
I want to go see her,
but I'm so busy because
of your dad's ceremony tomorrow.
Go in and get a good night's sleep.
You can't damage your health because of her.
Did you want this to happen to Aran?
How can you say that?
Taeho!
Your mom's just worried.
When will Aran wake up?
Soon, right?
Do you really even want her to wake up?
Taeho.
How can you say such a thing?
Are you saying your dad's hoping for the worst?
What's with your attitude?
No?
If Aran never wakes up,
you can cover up your transgressions.
What do you take me for?
I really can't trust you anymore.
I don't know
what you're thinking
or who you are.
If Aran doesn't wake up,
I'll never forgive you two.
Taeho.
Gilsu, what's gotten into him?
Aran.
The best thing I've done is
having you and Bom.
I'm so proud that I'm mother
to such
beautiful and wonderful daughters.
You can hear me, right?
I'm sure she can.
What you said will give her
the strength to wake up,
so you go home and rest.
No.
I must stay by my daughter's side.
I'll stay with her.
And Taeho will be back soon.
Why do these terrible things keep happening to us?
It feels like payback for my mistakes.
No.
They're opportunities for our family
to grow closer and value each more.
You're all grown up.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
(An Gilsu's Toasting Wine)
Now that I'm Punggildang's CEO,
I should make this toasting wine mine.
Of course.
With Aran silenced,
nothing will stand in my way.
No one can mess with me.
Geez.
Our founding day had been
a quiet affair comprised of volunteer activities.
But President An insisted on a special ceremony
and giving lots of gifts.
Image is everything these days.
It's not a bad way for him to
sculpt his CEO image
in front of the entire staff.
But he exaggerates his accomplishments.
My thoughts exactly.
He did that TV interview
as though he created
Vice President Bae's wine.
Geez.
Bom.
Don't worry.
Ms. Choi will be okay.
Thank you.
That's right.
We stopped by this morning,
and she's expected to wake up soon.
Thank you all for your concern.
But of course.
Just consider this a time of much-needed rest.
Don't overthink things.
Don't worry.
I'll take care of everything you set out to do.
But...
Wake up soon, Aran.
Aran.
Will you just ignore us until
your wife wakes up?
You don't even say hello or goodbye
when you come and go.
Stop it, Seonyeong.
What?
Is it our fault that she's in a coma?
I can't let our son
treat us like this?
Please go so that
Aran can rest.
Good grief.
I didn't know visiting
our daughter-in-law was such an offense.
Taeho, you shouldn't talk to your mom like that.
I'm reporting you for embezzlement.
I'll straighten out the mess
you caused by framing Aran.
Taeho.
Aran's in a coma.
Let's just focus on her for now.
Poor child.
Hon,
why are you crying?
You seem to be on edge because of your wife,
so I'll let you off the hook.
As parents, we have to let you
vent your frustrations at us.
Have you eaten?
You've lost weight.
Wait here.
I'll go get you something to eat.
This wouldn't have happened if
you hadn't threatened to go to the police.
You should have listened to me.
I still had Aran's phone?
Why did dad have Aran's phone?
Aran, what do you mean?
Where are you going?
Taeho,
I'm on my way to the police to report father.
I'm sorry.
Dad,
what have you done to Aran?
I can just delete the pictures
of the evidence you took.
What did you think you could do with these?
Okay. Okay.
Dad.
Tell me the truth, dad.
What are you talking about?
I did nothing to Aran.
You knew Aran got into an accident on her way
to the police to report you.
You ran after her
and then took off with her phone,
leaving her unconscious.
No.
It wasn't me.
Please, dad.
Please be truthful for once.
Fine. I abandoned her.
I left Aran unconscious.
But I did it for you.
If Aran had reported me
for embezzlement,
you would've
gone down with me.
You can't make it on your own at Punggildang.
So even if Aran wakes up,
you must stop her
for your sake and mine
and for our family's sake.
Got it, Taeho?
Taeho!
Do as you wish with this.
What is this?
I'm sorry
to put this burden on you.
But this is all I can do.
I'm so sorry.
Taeho.
I can just delete the pictures
of the evidence you took.
What did you think you could do with these?
Okay. Okay.
How could he?
I won't let him get away with this.
Bom,
think of our happiest time together.
No.
I'll think of the gravest injustice
you're currently suffering
and make An Gilsu pay.
He'll pay for it all.
Keep this safe.
Don't ever lose it.
I won't.
And if anything happens to me,
you must keep mom safe, okay?
Should anything happen to me,
please take care of this.
I love you, Bom.
Okay, Aran.
I'll do it.
I'll take care of it.
I've never seen
a middle-aged man as dapper as you.
How great you look in a suit and your aura!
Stop the fuss.
If it weren't for Aran's accident,
we could've had a party.
Like you said, we must hold back.
So you're not allowed at the office today.
If you defy me and show up
at the founding cermony,
you'll get it from me.
Fine, I won't.
I won't be there.
Geez.
Today's Punggildang's founding anniversary.
I wish you could 've celebrated with me.
What a shame.
Rest up.
Welcome.
Thank you.
Welcome.
You seem too cheerful for someone
whose daughter-in-law is in a coma.
It breaks my heart,
but what I can do?
Family's one thing, business is another.
Congratulations, President An.
Thank you.
A change in leadership has changed
the mood of the founding anniversary.
Isn't it high time that we emerge from the old,
stuffy ways under President Bae?
See you inside.
Thank you for coming.
This way.
Greetings.
I'm An Gilsu, the president.
I'd like to thank distinguished guests and
Punggildang employees
for taking part in the 35th anniversary
of Punggildang's founding.
On this meaningful occasion,
I'd like to officially present
our long-held dream,
Punggildang's state-designated toasting wine.
This is it.
(An Gilsu's Toasting Wine)
An Gilsu's Toasting Wine!
With An Gilsu's Toasting Wine,
I have no doubt Punggildang will
dominate Korea's traditional wine market!
In the Product Development Lab
is a classified document I gave Bae Gukhui.
What is this?
President An went too far.
Set it up so that it looks like
she betrayed me and tried to
leak company data.
What is this?
Who put this on?
Let's go for the cheap imported ginseng then.
We'll figure how to go about it.
We can make it look like Bae Gukhui authorized it.
No, no, no.
This isn't true, everyone.
No.
It's been fabricated.
No.
Don't fall for this.
I left Aran unconscious.
But I did it for you.
If Aran had reported me
for embezzlement,
you would've
gone down with me.
I can just delete the pictures
of the evidence you took.
What did you think you could do with these?
That's not me!
