(Episode 61)
Do Young!
Do Young. Are you awake?
Do you know who I am?
- Mr. Chairman. - Do Young.
My head's about to explode.
Where is the medicine?
Ms. Ahn! Where's the...
I gave her time off.
- Mr. Chairman! - Do Young.
Do Young, it's me, Do Chi. You recognize me, right?
What's going on?
Is he awake?
- Honey. - Do Young.
Do you recognize me?
Mr. Chairman, are you awake?
Ji Won.
You can't go like this.
What do you mean, you'll live with Ma Ya at your mother's place?
It's all I can do for Ma Ya.
Do you really think this is best for her?
Don't be so thoughtless.
I won't let...
my daughter be raised as someone's...
back-up plan.
- I'm her dad. - But who is that "someone"?
He's your one and only son.
And Ma Ya is my one and only daughter.
I don't want to repeat myself.
Don't stop me.
It's your choice to leave,
but it won't be your choice to return.
Keep that in mind.
I won't abandon Ma Ya and return by myself.
Hey! Moo Yul! You jerk!
You're the one who asked for another chance.
Ji Won.
He recognizes her.
Do Young. You recognize me too, right?
It's me, Do Chi.
Honey, are you awake?
Do you recognize me?
Water... Get me some water.
He must be thirsty. I'll get the water.
Hey! Yuh Ri.
All of my family's problems...
started with you.
It's all your fault.
All the bad things that happened are your fault!
There's no time for this. Go into the study.
- The study? - The chairman's awake.
What? He is?
Dad!
Dad.
Are you awake?
Dad.
What's wrong?
Don't you recognize me?
It's me, Hae Joo. Your daughter, Koo Hae Joo.
Calm down.
He isn't well yet.
What?
He was in a coma for over a year and just woke up.
How could he be well?
Who are these people?
- Sorry? - Who are they,
Ms. Hong?
Honey.
Dad.
What do you mean, "Ms. Hong"? This is Mom.
Don't call her that.
Who are you, miss?
Dad.
Don't you recognize me?
It's me, Hae Joo. Your daughter, Koo Hae Joo.
Your one and only daughter.
Hae Joo?
You're my daughter Hae Joo?
Do Young.
Do you recognize me?
I'm your brother. Do Chi. Koo Do Chi.
Do Chi?
Do Chi...
is still a kid.
Do Young.
This can't be.
- Dad. - Stop it, all of you!
He isn't well yet.
Stop stressing him out and get out.
- Ji Won. - He needs to rest!
- Get out! - Dad.
This can't be.
Did my dad lose his memory?
If he thinks Mom is his assistant, that's over 30 years ago.
He remembers you as a little kid too.
Don't tell me his memory stopped at 30 years ago.
Why did Dr. Kim declare him braindead?
What if we had removed his oxygen because of that?
Something's off.
His being declared braindead...
and his losing his memory...
I need to go back in.
Why won't this open?
Ji Won! Why did you lock the door?
Open up!
I need to talk to Do Young!
Keep it down!
He's confused right now.
Stay quiet and wait!
He needs his rest!
Ms. Hong.
Hae Joo...
Get me Hae Joo's mom.
Honey.
What do you mean? I'm Hae Joo's mom.
Do you really not remember?
I was your assistant, and then I married you.
You...
and I got married?
Do you...
really not remember?
Calm down.
It's because you woke up after being in a coma...
for over a year.
My head... My head hurts.
Stop trying to think.
It's probably because you're not completely back yet.
Go back to sleep.
That'll make the headache stop.
Do Young.
Your memory stopped at 30 years ago, is that it?
Not at the moment before your accident.
Yes. Destiny is on my side.
Isn't it strange, though?
He called Ji Won "Ms. Hong",
but he remembered the name "Hae Joo".
Mom was his assistant before marrying him.
Happy?
What's the problem? What are you trying to say?
She must've had you after they got married. That means...
he should remember her as your mom, not as his assistant.
That's true.
If he called her "Ms. Hong",
that means his memory stopped at before they got married.
Then how does he remember Hae Joo?
- How is he? - He's asleep.
Keep your voices down. Don't wake him.
Mom, but...
isn't his memory a bit strange?
He doesn't remember marrying you.
How does he remember me?
- What? - It was before Hae Joo was born...
if it was when you were his assistant.
How could he know that he has a daughter...
named Hae Joo?
All of you saw, didn't you?
His memories are all hodge podge.
Don't think too much about it.
He'll be fine once he's fully back,
so stop fussing and go to your rooms.
He needs a check-up first.
He just woke up.
We should take it slowly.
Who knows how his body will react?
What if Hae Joo finds out that I'm not her biological mom?
No. I can't let that happen.
I need to officially become chairman...
before people find out that he's awake.
Mr. Kim.
Pull up tomorrow's board meeting.
Make it as early as possible.
I'm sure he'll be fine soon.
Don't worry too much.
I'm just happy right now that he's awake.
But Ji Won's being suspicious.
He woke up after being declared braindead,
but she looks nervous, rather than happy.
The hidden camera.
You installed a camera in the study.
Let's watch it...
to see if you missed something.
Wait. Stop.
The chairman woke up yesterday too.
She hid the fact...
that he had woken up.
She schemed with Dr. Kim.
How could she do this?
Daddy.
Are you awake? Does it hurt?
I had a dream.
I was alone in a strange place, so I was really scared.
Daddy will be with you from now on,
so don't worry.
I promise.
Mom! Where are you?
What is it?
Dad's gone.
His bed's empty.
- Did you send him to the hospital? - What?
(Madam Hong Ji Won)
Is that Ji Won calling?
- Do Chi. - Dr. Kim.
You worked with my family for decades.
I never imagined you'd abuse that relationship.
What... What do you mean?
How could you lie that my comatose brother...
was braindead?
You even put him back to sleep after he woke up.
This is a crime.
I don't know what you mean.
When are you saying the chairman woke up?
He was definitely braindead.
I guess you had no idea I had installed a camera...
in the study.
Why'd you do it?
Why?
I'm sorry.
Madam Hong made me do it,
so I had no choice.
I know it doesn't justify...
what I've done.
I'm sorry.
We almost held a funeral for my brother,
who was perfectly fine. You realize that?
I'll accept...
any punishment.
Ji Won is a monster.
We can't let this slide.
We can't forgive her.
Hello, Director Choi.
I'm glad I'll get to see you later at the board meeting.
What was that?
They pulled up the board meeting?
Why those wretched punks.
They pull up the time and not tell the second largest shareholder?
Okay. Thanks for calling.
They pulled up the board meeting without telling you? Who did?
Who else would do that other than Ji Won?
Really?
What time is the board meeting?
Who cares? Let's go right now.
He woke up not long ago,
so his memory may be jumbled.
We'll get a proper diagnosis after they run some tests,
so don't worry too much yet.
Okay. He'll be okay.
I'll make sure of it.
Hello, Mother.
What? They suddenly pulled up the board meeting?
Okay.
You and Father should go first.
They pulled up the board meeting?
Yes. Ji Won must've rushed before the directors find out...
that the chairman's awake,
since that would hinder her becoming chairman.
We have only 30 minutes before it starts.
As you all know, due to Chairman Koo Do Young being braindead,
the chairman seat will likely be vacant for a prolonged time.
Thus, we called this board meeting...
to appoint Acting Chairman Hong the official chairman.
We will take a vote among the board of directors,
so please mark the ballots...
on the desk in front of you, and...
Wait!
Since we are short on time,
let's vote by a show of hands, rather than by ballot.
Is anyone opposed of voting by a show of hands?
Then we will take the vote by a show of hands.
If you oppose...
Hong Ji Won for chairman, please raise your hand.
By unanimous vote, Hong Ji Won...
has been voted the next chairman of Wid Group...
That's nonsense!
This ambush of a board meeting,
held without alerting me, the second largest shareholder,
of the time change,
- is void. - It is for Wid Group.
Perhaps you were unable to be reached,
but the board already voted, so you must accept it.
I propose making Hong Ji Won...
chairman.
- I second. - I second.
Follow the majority.
The board chose...
to make me chairman.
Accordingly, Hong Ji Won, the acting chairman,
- is the new chairman... - Wait!
- Chairman Koo. - What's going on?
Chairman Koo Do Young...
is not braindead.
As you can see, he's fine.
The doctor had lied...
that he was braindead.
What?
The doctor lied?
The person who made the doctor lie...
is in this room.
- What's going on? - What does he mean?
- How could this be? - He's fine.
What nonsense is that?
How dare you say such lies at a meeting like this?
Lies?
I have a witness.
Dr. Kim. Tell everyone.
Who made you...
lie that Chairman Koo Do Young was braindead?
He's telling the truth?
- Who's behind this? - I can't believe it.
- Who would dare? - This is unbelievable.
Pipe down!
This is a family matter.
We'll continue the board meeting after a few minutes.
Ji Won.
Did you lie that Do Young was braindead...
so that you could take his position as chairman?
He woke up after over a year,
and you put him back to sleep?
How could you be so inhumane?
It was all for him!
His memory was failing when he woke up.
If that got out,
people would've mocked him,
and Wid Group's stock would've dropped even more!
Do you call that an excuse?
I'm too afraid of people finding out how evil the head of Wid Group is,
that I can't even call the police.
You've covered up your sins with ridiculous excuses enough.
It won't work anymore.
Then what do you want to do?
Should we announce that his memory is stopped at 30 years ago?
Is that what you want?
I'll prevent you from taking his place.
Do Young is the only chairman of Wid Group.
Fine. If that's what you want,
I'll leave him as the chairman of Wid Group. In exchange,
I'll still remain acting chairman and make all the decisions.
I can't let him run the company when he doesn't have his memory.
Even if you are the acting chairman,
you can't unilaterally make all the decisions by yourself.
I won't let you.
You must consult me regarding every decision...
being made for the company...
until Do Young gets his memory back.
One more thing.
I will be in charge of his safety.
I won't...
leave him to you anymore.
Gosh.
Are you really living here with me?
With Grandma and Auntie?
Yes. But sorry,
I need to go to work now.
I'll rush home as soon as I finish.
It's okay. I can wait for you.
You're such a good girl.
I'll be back early. Look after her for me.
Okay. Get back safely.
Bye.
Ma Ya.
Shall Grandma make you a yummy snack?
Your stomach still hurts,
so nothing that will aggravate it.
I'll make you something easy to digest.
- Okay. - Okay.
I'll call you when I'm done,
so lie down in my room.
(Missing Child)
I was so close.
I almost had it!
These are the projected sales for the third quarter.
(Comparison to Previous Year)
Sales keep dropping.
This won't do.
I may lose my position as acting chairman as well.
Hello, Mother.
Where are you? Come to the chairman's office.
Okay.
How's Ma Ya?
She was discharged today.
As I told you, I'll stay in Mokdong with her.
You insist on disobeying me.
Fine.
I'll leave Ma Ya as is for the time being.
But you need to do something for me.
The chairman woke up.
He did?
- But he's braindead... - It was a mistake.
He regained consciousness,
but he isn't fully recovered yet.
His memory isn't right either.
That's why I need your help.
What do you mean?
Make the third quarter's sales...
double of last year's.
Pardon? Double the sales?
I plan to prove my abilities...
and claim the chairman seat fair and square.
I don't want people to say...
I stole the seat while the chairman was unavailable.
The chairman...
is a tiger without claws.
He has no house or stock. All he has...
is the title of chairman.
I plan to take everything he has.
Even his chairman seat, which is all he has left.
- Mother. - You said I'd need your abilities.
Prove it.
Help me become Wid Group's chairman.
Show me what your capable of.
Why are you asking me for help?
I may betray you at any moment.
Your desperation for success.
A starving fish knows it will lead to its death,
but it can't help but bite the bait on the fishing hook.
You and I are in similar situations.
We must prove our worth within Wid Group.
What is it? Are you concerned?
No matter how I think about it,
what you did to Ma Ya was despicable.
It was inhumane.
So?
Will you forego your ambition for something so trivial?
As I told you already, I did all of that...
for you, Hae Joo, and Ga Ya.
Don't get the wrong idea.
I'm not asking you for help. I'm saying I'll use you.
You can use me in exchange.
If I become chairman,
you'll become CEO.
Do you mean it?
Do Young. Are you uncomfortable?
I closed my eyes, and 30 years have passed.
How could I not be uncomfortable?
I'd like to be alone.
Please leave me.
Okay.
Let us know if you need anything.
Do Young.
I don't know how you feel,
but I'm so happy...
that you're awake.
And very grateful.
Hi, Yuh Ri.
I just brought my brother home.
You must be tired. It must've been hard to do alone.
Where are you? Should I come get you?
I'm going to the hospital.
I want to see Ma Ya before going home.
Okay. Call me when you're heading out.
Drive safely.
What are you doing here? What about Ma Ya?
She was discharged this afternoon. I left her with my mother.
She was discharged?
I heard Father...
woke up.
He's in the study.
He just got here, so he's tired.
Let him rest.
I'll just say hi.
He should see his son-in-law.
Yes?
Who are you?
I'm Kim Moo Yul, Hae Joo's husband...
and your son-in-law.
What a day. My brain is spinning.
Everyone that I see...
is a stranger.
Where did Ms. Hong go, anyway?
I haven't seen her all day.
Ms. Hong?
Please call Ms. Hong for me.
Actually,
where did...
Hae Joo's mom go?
What do you mean, Hae Joo's mother?
Father.
Did Ma Ya go somewhere?
She was discharged.
- Hi, Do Chi. - Are you at the hospital?
I saw Moo Yul.
He said Ma Ya was discharged and went to Mokdong.
I just found out, actually.
Okay. See you later.
What do I do?
It'll be awkward to go to Ms. Jang's just to see Ma Ya.
I'm sorry, Mr. Jang.
My son had to go to the office,
so I can't come right now.
Don't about things here.
Take care of your granddaughter.
It's hard enough for adults when they aren't feeling well.
It must be so hard for a child.
Don't you worry.
If you're ever sick or hurt,
I'll run over...
and take good care of you.
Even... Even the thought of it is frightening.
I have a customer. I have to go.
He's so shy.
Oh no. I'm such a klutz. When did I get this on my dress?
It's Great-auntie.
Great-auntie.
Ma Ya, how do you feel? Are you okay?
My stomach feels a little tight, but I'm fine otherwise.
I'm glad.
I was very worried.
I went to the hospital and they said you were discharged already.
Are you in Mokdong with your grandma?
Yes. My daddy brought me here.
He's going to live here with me starting today.
I miss you.
Can't you come visit?
Are you busy?
No. You're not feeling well,
so I'll stop by for a little bit.
I'll be there in five minutes.
Okay. It's building 306, unit 1002.
I'll be waiting. Hurry over.
(Missing Child: Son Bom)
This is my baby picture.
Grandma!
Why is my baby picture here?
I'm sure this is me.
"Missing child, Son Bom."
My battery died.
Ji Won, that evil wench.
Did you see her go pale...
when Chairman Koo Do Young came into the room?
It felt so great.
You did great. Here, have some water.
Hello?
Is anyone there?
Excuse me.
I'm calling because I saw my picture.
Picture?
The picture on the flyer looking for Son Bom.
- That's my picture. - What?
- The one in the flyer is you? - Yes.
It's my picture.
I'm not lying.
It's really my picture.
What's your name?
Where do you live?
My name is...
Grandma!
Hello?
- What's wrong? - A child just called,
saying the picture in the flyer is of her.
Bom.
Maybe it was Bom.
She could've seen the flyer and called.
What?
Call the number back. Hurry.
Okay.
Ma Ya. Whom did you just call?
Here.
This is my picture.
Right?
How... How could this be you?
You're so pretty.
Her eyes are crooked...
as well as her nose.
No one's answering.
Yuh Ri.
I need to let her know.
Hello, Mother.
A child just called.
She says the baby in the flyer is her.
- What? - That's what she told me.
She said it was her picture.
Are you saying Bom called herself?
So? Where is she? Whom is she with?
I don't know. We got cut off.
I called back, but she won't pick up.
You need to come home now.
Okay. I'll head out in a couple of minutes.
Bom.
Did you really call?
It is my picture.
I saw it with my own eyes.
It looked exactly like me when I was a baby.
No, it isn't.
Why would your picture be on this?
You're not fully awake yet.
You're still out of it...
and mistook some other child as yourself.
That's it.
And you got surgery not long ago,
so the anesthesia...
is causing confusion.
Really?
Was I mistaken?
That's... That's right.
It's Great-auntie.
Great-auntie!
Yuh Ri... What brings you here?
Hello. I came because I missed Ma Ya so much.
- Ma Ya. - Great-auntie.
I've missed you too.
