Bride of the Century
Episode 13
Thank you so much for waking up.
For my daughter...
In an instant I crushed
someone else's daughter... someone else's precious life...
This is why your grandmother wanted to see me.
Is this what you used to make a deal with my mom?
Because she fears the entire world finding out about this the most.
Schedule another press conference. As soon as possible.
They may have been just the pictures this time around
but if it happens again, then this recording will be sent to the media.
And if people hear it, I wonder what will happen? Taeyang Group
is a given but more specifically your parents and grandmother.
Stop hurting people.
Everything depends on you.
You make the decision.
You have my hands and feet tied.
And now you want me to make the decision?
Why thank you. For helping me get myself together without any regrets.
I'll need you to come with me.
To clean up the mess I made.
You're pretty demanding for someone who needs my help.
Do you want a public announcement or something?
If I feel like doing so, I can just end all this.
Is that what you want?
Mark my words.
If we're both tightly holding on to each end
of the rope and I let go, we will both fall.
Know your place and don't go beyond that.
I'm sorry.
I was hoping you wouldn't find out...
I didn't want you to go through all that pain too...
Don't resent your grandmother.
It's all because of me.
I just couldn't get over your father.
So your grandmother...
Don't try so hard anymore.
All that weight you've been trying to take on alone.
You can give all that to me now.
It's just a matter of me making up my mind.
Kang Ju...
Please don't let dad ever find out.
You know how he is.
He'd be hurt the most by all this.
I'm not afraid of the truth coming out.
It's only right that a person pays the price for their wrongdoings.
But I'm most afraid that dad will find out.
Dad... has been stuck in the past all his life
and has lived in a prison he's created for himself.
It's not right for us to put him through more pain.
Here are your meds.
Miss Jang!
I hear that Mr. Choi didn't go to the press
conference because you got in a fight.
Why did you fight? What happened?
You should be crazy about each other and having fun.
What was the big deal for him to not show up?
You must be really comfortable with me.
Excuse me?
For as long as you work here, please be very clear on who you're working for.
There's no reason for us to be gossiping
together, it's not like we're friends.
If that's what you want to do, you can go make friends
but please watch what you say to me.
I... was just worried...
Have I ever asked you to worry about me?
Please mind your own business from now on
and focus on the housework instead.
Is that not what your job is?
Why are you standing there like that?
How can a person change so much?
- It's so strange. - What is?
Miss Jang.
Aside from her face
everything else is different.
The look in her eyes, her facial
expression and the way that she talks...
All of it!
You didn't notice anything odd?
There you go again saying useless things.
Listen to me! Do you know what she just said to me?
It's a relief your injuries weren't more serious.
You don't want to even look at me now?
I've tried really hard.
While living in your home,
I tried really hard to become like your real son and Yi Kyung's real brother.
But you...
Would you have protected Doo Rim the same
way if you were really Yi Kyung's brother?
You walked away from us, we didn't walk away from you.
I didn't know you were this kind of a person.
How could you...
Go ahead. Resent me.
Loathe me with all that you have.
And if that helps you feel even a little better,
then as your mother for the last 20 something years
I believe it will be my final gift to you.
From the day you came to my home, you never once complained
and you were a good kid who took care of himself.
I never once had to get mad at you, yell at you or spank you.
And I wonder if that may be because of the distance between us emotionally...
Get some rest.
Is all this really necessary?
I know you're the one who released the photos to the media.
This was probably not part of your original plan.
Because you weren't expecting Choi Kang Ju
to not show up to the press conference.
We've steered off course a bit but we'll
get back on the right path in no time.
You sound very confident.
How can you say that for sure?
Do you think it's just those photos?
If I'm standing up to Taeyang Group, those
pictures alone are not nearly enough.
I gave them a small taste and Kang Ju came to his senses on his own terms.
You just focus on getting better.
You need to be better by the time Yi Kyung gets married.
You're her one and only brother.
You should walk her down the aisle, don't you think?
You don't have to try so hard to act like you're okay around me.
Don't act like nothing happened.
That worries me even more.
Does it look like I'm trying to act like I'm okay?
I'm the heir to Taeyang Group.
Do you think I'll put the entire company
in danger because of a fake girl?
Something like that is meaningless.
And because it is so meaningless, I'm acting like nothing happened.
I understand, Mr. Choi.
Even though sales and revenue were up nearly 5% compared to last year
the reason profits aren't as high is due to
poor decisions made by the executive board.
Restructuring the board is a given but
I think it's also a good time to re-examine the low-performing brands.
You did a good job in coming up with a solid plan.
Go ahead and move forward with what you have.
Do you have anything else you want to talk to me about?
I was just wondering if there might be other
reasons for you working so much lately.
No, there isn't.
I've neglected my work for a while so I wanted to get back on track.
You're not going to acknowledge me?
What do you want?
I did what you asked last time so do something for me this time.
Go with me to see my brother.
Kang Ju wanted to come visit you.
I should have come sooner. I'm sorry it took so long.
I hope you get well soon.
You don't need to say those things just to be courteous.
Please leave us alone for a bit.
It's been a while since I last saw my sister.
Do you feel better now?
Are you happy now that you have Choi Kang Ju by your side?
Do you know how long it's been since we last saw each other?
Is that all you have to say to me?
I knew you'd be like this so even though
I wanted to see you, I didn't come until now.
Why Doo Rim and not me?
Who is she?
She even turned you down so why are you so determined to protect her?
I was so angry and outraged I didn't want to see you.
Because if I saw you, I'd hate Doo Rim even more!
Yi Kyung...
You should just go somewhere far away with Doo Rim.
You want Doo Rim for yourself.
You want that more than anyone else right now.
Let's go Kang Ju.
It's not like we have any spectators. No need to continue putting on a show.
Why do you keep coming here? What about the restaurant?
Don't worry. My grandma and Jin Joo are doing a good job taking care of it.
I'm just asking because you remind me of a ghost
who walks around all day without ever sleeping.
Have you ever seen a ghost as cute as me?
Those dark circles under your eyes make you look pretty ghostly.
How about now?
Here.
The dry cleaner said they couldn't take the stains out.
So I searched online to find ways to take them out.
There is still a little bit left on there
but I wanted to get this back to you as a way of saying
get well soon so you can wear this to work again.
Remember you said you haven't done anything for me?
You made me smile.
A warm smile.
So warm even the cold breeze felt warm.
And that alone is more than enough.
So you don't have to feel bad.
Go in the direction that you want. That's what I want for you.
What do you think?
Things seem different between Kang Ju and Yi Kyung lately.
It was also unlike Kang Ju to not show up to the press conference.
The truth is...
Tell me whatever you know.
My wife has been saying some odd things lately too.
She keeps saying that Ms. Jang has been different lately
and that she seems like a different person.
And this makes absolutely no sense...
It's okay, tell me.
But she mentioned that maybe Mr. Choi might be seeing another woman...
What do you mean another woman?
It seems my wife accidentally overheard Mr. Choi and Ms. Ma talking.
She said that they briefly mentioned another woman...
So my wife thought maybe it was because of
her he didn't go to the press conference.
After the board meeting next week, I'm thinking about restructuring the board.
And of course, I'll keep key members from the current board.
- Kang Ju - Yes, go ahead.
You've been so different lately I can't help but to wonder.
And it's not just me that feels that way.
Ms. Ahn also keeps saying odd things...
What do you mean odd things?
Please don't take this the wrong way.
Are you... by chance... seeing another woman?
Kang Ju.
Hi, I didn't know you were here.
Hi.
Don't you think you're overworking Kang Ju?
He's been working so much lately that his face is looking haggard.
He's doing it to make up for all the slacking he did.
There's nothing I can do about that.
What's in there?
This?
We've been doing a lot of packed lunch dates.
Kang Ju's been so busy that unless I stop by
with food, it's nearly impossible to see him.
You should stay and eat with us.
- Ma'am! - Why thank you!
She's unlike many other young ladies these days.
What is it Mr. Choi?
Nothing. It's nothing. Let's go.
It wasn't bad considering I came last
minute after you called, don't you think?
And we completely fooled your dad.
You should have majored in acting instead of piano.
That's a compliment, right?
Does this also look like I'm acting?
Don't touch me.
I'm not amused at all.
You're a lot more innocent than you seem.
I was just practicing in case we might need to do this one day.
You can try your entire life but you'll never win him over.
You'll end up holding on to an empty shell.
And you weren't even able to touch that empty shell.
What do you think about finding a new job?
Aren't you uncomfortable running into me all the time?
Once Kang Ju and I get married I'll be okay but you might be uncomfortable.
You'll have to treat me as your superior and given
your personality, will you be okay with that?
Give it some thought.
Hey Na Doo Rim.
Why are you such a big deal?
You have nothing. Why are you acting like you're hot stuff?
I am a woman who graduated Hanguk University.
You know that?
Go be drunk somewhere else!
I don't understand why you came here during
the day out of all the bars in the city.
I can't stand to see things going well for Jang Yi Kyung!
Can't you just listen to me while I'm drunk? It was hard enough coming here.
Are you looking down on me too?
Stop drinking. You're not the soju type.
You should be sipping on wine or something instead.
- And you're the soju type? - Of course.
Feels good.
Kang Ju... and you... you both are unbelievable.
I'm not okay just watching you two.
So how can you guys live your lives as if everything is okay?
Then should I cry my eyes out and act like I'm about to die?
People go through worse than this and make it out perfectly fine.
Even when I lost both my mom and dad on the same day...
My grandma was the only family I had left.
And when my grandma had a heart attack...
I still lived through all that.
Life just went on.
The reason I can't hold on to Kang Ju
is not just because I lied to him.
I don't even know if he knows my real name...
It'll be hard for him to accept me.
Because to Kang Ju, I'm not Na Doo Rim. I'm a fake Jang Yi Kyung.
You should stop drinking.
I hope I'm not bothering you at work.
It's okay.
I was passing by and thought I'd stop by.
I heard things have been a little hectic around here.
You're not here because you're curious about how the company is doing.
If you're here because of the press conference tomorrow
then don't worry.
We will proceed with it as planned.
I'm glad to hear that.
I came by just in case you had other thoughts in mind.
I guess I won't have to worry.
I have no intention of sabotaging myself
when I know you have a bomb in your hand.
The doctor says you're recovering very quickly.
Come back to the company when you're better.
What? Were you planning on completely cutting yourself off from us?
Even if I am your step-son, you must not have
anyone else you can trust the company with.
Yes. I won't deny it.
We have the funding from Taeyang Group and we're finally financially stable.
It will get busier after the press conference tomorrow.
What press conference?
What can Kang Ju do?
Doo Rim wasn't enough for him to throw everything away.
They were just playing with fire the whole time.
Everything will be wrapped up tomorrow.
Get some rest.
You should be at the hospital... What brings you all the way here?
I came because there's something I wanted to ask you.
What are you going to do about Doo Rim?
Why are you asking me that question?
How can you do this?
Doo Rim did so much for you!
She lied to me... she was deceitful... and humiliated me.
On the surface you two acted like brother and sister
but really you felt very strongly about each other, didn't you?
I think you're the one who should be taking care of her.
Whether you two go far away or not, she has nothing to do with me now.
Don't say things you don't mean.
Even if the whole world points their fingers at her, you can't do that.
She lied, was deceitful and humiliated you?
Did you ever stop to think why she had to do that?
How she's lived her life...
I don't want to know.
Please leave now.
Even if just for a day, that girl wanted to be your bride.
She risked her life for you.
Because she loved you more than life itself.
Do you honestly think I'd believe that?
A guy like you doesn't even deserve a girl like Doo Rim.
You walked away from the woman who loved
you more than you will ever be able to know.
I'm not backing down anymore.
You walked away from her so don't resent me if I take your place.
Yi Hyun! Where did you go?
You're not completely healed yet! You can't
be walking around outside like that!
Yi Hyun... What's wrong?
Did something happen?
Yi Hyun...
What now?
What am I going to do with you?
I'll ask you one last time.
Do you want to run away with me and go live somewhere far away?
What's wrong with this guy?
You were okay for a while and here you go again.
You have a warm bed to sleep in and hot foods to fill you up.
So you're bored and now having useless thoughts?
I'm not kidding. Answer me honestly.
Are you crazy?
It's not like I'm being chased or anything. Why
would I leave my home and run away with you?
Your heart must be bulletproof.
Seeing as how you're always able to push me away.
So... stop doing this.
You've done as much as you can.
You can't disappoint the people who depend on you.
You're going to be an even greater leader for
Taeyang Group than your father and grandfather.
I guarantee it.
You have an incredible amount of confidence and you're really smart.
I'll admit, you are a bit rough on the edges
but you have a lot more positive traits than bad.
And also...
This will pass quickly.
And the scars will quickly heal.
You're going to get through this, Kang Ju.
I'll be rooting for you wherever you go.
I don't want to cry.
I want the last memory you have of me, to be me smiling.
I'm sorry...
For not keeping my promise.
The bracelet must not be meant for me...
I'll give it back to you.
So is that girl not the one either?
I've waited 100 years for her...
What do you mean let's go back to NamHae?
The restaurant is starting to find its
place and we have a lot of regulars now.
Why so suddenly?
Grandma the truth is...
I didn't get this restaurant through my own hard work and sweat.
I lied to myself and other people to get this.
You and I have done well up to now on our own.
Mom and dad always told me to live an honest life.
And I didn't do that.
I shouldn't do this.
I wish you could understand where I'm coming from.
I don't know what's going on
but I'm always on your side Doo Rim.
If you say it's right, then it's right.
And if you say it's wrong, then it's wrong.
I'm sorry grandma.
You have nothing to be sorry about.
It's better for me if we move back to NamHae.
I can see the wide ocean all I want
and hang out with my friends in the neighborhood.
It's okay.
Grandma.
What brings you all the way here?
What? Are you giving it back to me because of your pride?
I've always taken on any work that came to me as long as I could make money.
So I threw out my pride a long time ago.
Had I cared about any of that, I wouldn't have done all this.
It's because I don't want you to be okay with any of this.
You're basically telling me to be grateful
towards you for giving me the restaurant.
Did you think doing this would make me feel bad about everything?
I'm sure you wouldn't bat an eye.
But if I keep the restaurant, it would make me the same type of person as you.
You people and I.. .
If you don't want to, I won't force it on you.
Please don't say anything to Yi Hyun.
I'm going to leave after I see him fully recover.
The reason I stand before you today is to introduce to you
the person I will be spending the rest of my life with.
As the future wife of the leader of Taeyang Group
and the person who will be paving the future of Taeyang Group with me...
At an event where I am introducing you to a very important person in my life,
it does not seem right to be reciting a pre-written speech like a parrot.
I met a woman.
At first I had no feelings or interest in her.
Because she was someone I met for what we call an arranged marriage.
But then...
There are plenty of other people to fill that spot.
As time passed I found myself falling for her more and more.
I think the mom died.
For the first time in my life I fell in love.
I never thought I'd ever fall in love.
We almost broke up a few times too.
Because of rumors about my family.
But still...
It wasn't like that for me.
I tried to push her away
Don't go!
but she didn't leave my side.
I love you.
We had our own private wedding.
With the sunshine, trees and wind smiling down on us.
We swore our love for each other and made a
promise to spend the rest of our lives together.
I'd like to introduce to you the woman that I,
Choi Kang Ju, hope to spend the rest of my life with.
Her name...
Is Na Doo Rim.
What do you mean Na Doo Rim?
Was Kang Ju really seeing someone else?
This came from the secretary's office.
What is all this?
They look identical so it seems that she acted as Jang Yi Kyung.
How can this happen...
Mr. Choi! Mr. Choi! Mr. Choi! Mr. Choi!
Doo Rim! Doo Rim! Big news!
What's wrong?
You're about to pass out.
Choi Kang Ju made a shocking announcement.
Shocking announcement?
Look at this.
What happened?
You really didn't know about this?
Hi Mr. Choi.
- What about my father? - Dr. Kang just left a bit ago.
He said he'll be okay after a few days rest.
I told you. What'd I say?
I told you it was really odd.
I know.
Dad.
I'm sorry.
I knew how much this would surprise you
but I couldn't hide my feelings anymore.
I'm really sorry.
You have nothing to be sorry about.
I'm okay so don't worry about me.
Dad...
You didn't do anything wrong.
You were just trying to make things right.
Her name is Na Doo Rim?
Yes.
There are a lot of obstacles waiting for you.
I'm prepared.
Keep a close watch on the media and make sure nothing leak.
You know very well that stocks drop even if
my father gets a cold medicine prescription.
Yes. We will have the PR team on constant watch.
And also...
Your mother gave her stocks in the company to Miss Jang Yi Kyung.
She did it without anyone knowing so we found out about it recently.
Please don't tell my father.
I'll take care of it.
Her name is...
Na Doo Rim.
I won't forgive him. Ever!
You used to shake with fright.
I'm not scared of you anymore.
What I'm scared of is how I will change from here on out.
You two are similar yet different.
One is the bright sunlight.
And the other is the sunlight's shadow.
In the end, you became nothing but a shadow.
No! It's not over yet!
Nothing is final until I end it!
Mark my words.
Only you can create the path to your future.
If you cannot control the fire burning within you
then you will not even be able to live on as a shadow.
No! I am not a shadow!
I'm not!
Hey dummy. Where are you going so early in the morning?
Excuse me.
Can you not hear me?
You've created a huge mess! It's not like you're a little kid.
What were you thinking?
Now do you understand me?
How hard it was for me to clean up after every single mess you created.
How can you joke about this right now?
Compared to you, all the things I ever did were nothing.
You said you're curious as to what's inside my head?
I for one, am curious as to what goes on in that head of yours!
Where are you going?
Here.
What are these?
My gift to you for leaving the hospital.
Hurry and try them on.
You look awesome!
Congratulations on going home!
You two.
Don't you think this is a bit much while I'm standing right here?
Do you not have hands and feet?
Do you not know how to tie your own necktie?
Do you not know how to put your shoes on by yourself?
She used to tie my ties for my all the time.
She's better at it than me.
You're the one who followed me here. Why are you causing such a ruckus?
You should be congratulating him.
Think how you'd feel if you were me.
Would you want to congratulate him?
Yi Hyun, let's go.
My grandma is waiting for you.
Congratulations.
Congratulations Yi Hyun!
Drink this before it gets cold.
Grandma bought marrow and cooked it all night.
There's nothing better than marrow to heal your bones.
Thank you.
Try this. Abalone is the best for regaining your strength.
Try this. It's the grilled snapper you like.
Aren't you supposed to be all better now?
It's not like you hurt your arm. Can't you feed yourself?
He's still technically a patient.
Why is this boy here again?
He came to congratulate me.
You two know each other?
Hello. My name is Choi Kang Ju.
Aren't you supposed to at least give me water or something?
It's over there. Get it yourself.
We will be closed starting today.
My grandma and I've decided to go back to our hometown by the ocean.
Thank you very much to each and every customer who've visited us.
We wish you a healthy and happy life!
What is this?
I was going to tell you when you got out of the hospital...
Says who?
You can't go anywhere without my permission.
Got it?
Na Doo Rim.
If you can't come to me I'll go to you.
I'm sorry it took me so long.
Let me formally introduce myself.
I'm Choi Kang Ju.
It's nice to meet you, Na Doo Rim.
Subtitles by DramaFever
Choi Kang Ju is risking everything.
Just to get you Doo Rim.
Why did you do it?
You could lose everything...
You can act classy and elegant all you want but at
the end of the day, you're a murderer's daughter.
There will be a day when what you just said will
come back to your daughter and shred her to pieces.
You watch and see just how detrimental it is
that you chose her instead of my Yi Kyung.
Let's have a farewell drink.
For the last time.
You should never have been born!
Die. Die!
