(Episode 101)
("Subcontractors Throw Bags of Flour to Chairman Shin of A One Group")
(Chairman Shin of A One Group gets bombarded with flour.)
I'm sorry, sir.
I should've done a better job of stopping them.
No.
I feel relieved now.
Pardon?
Back when I was young, we all got along very well...
regardless of the size of the corporation.
I feel like this happened because I only cared about myself...
when times have changed.
I actually feel a lot better after what just happened.
How did things end up this way?
I must've led a wrongful life.
Is Father okay?
He's showering right now.
My gosh, why did he go there when it was obvious...
that they'd throw a fit at him?
Mr. Moon, why didn't you stop him?
He went because he didn't want the damage to go to his children.
He was the son of a subcontractor he used to work with in the past.
He wanted to take the blame from all the workers from his generation.
Father.
Hello, Ji Young. There's no need to worry.
I'm going to announce an official apology tomorrow.
So please have that ready.
Okay, sir.
I'm going to take some rest.
I don't feel so well.
I gave Kyung Shin a spot at the company...
because Hyun Joon seemed too soft.
It's all my fault.
I noticed this time around that Kyung Shin is trouble.
I should tell her to stay home and focus on raising Tae Woong.
Yes, you should.
That brat is a real bad seed.
I knew she'd cause trouble one day.
Yes.
I'm going to make Hyun Joon the chairman...
and Sang Hyuk the vice-chairman.
I'm going to stay at home...
and have fun with Tae Woong.
Good idea.
It's about time.
Meanwhile, the controversy regarding A One Group's...
abuse of power has become a huge issue now.
And when Chairman Shin showed up at Kim Gyeong Ryeol's funeral,
the family of the deceased bombarded him with flour.
He seemed really shocked.
But he was calmer than expected, so that's a relief.
Why did he even go there?
Father's going to announce an official apology tomorrow.
Maybe that will calm people down a little.
Hey, Mom.
Ji Young, I just saw the news, and I was so surprised.
My heart's beating like crazy.
Is your father-in-law okay?
Yes, I went to see him, and he's a lot calmer than expected.
Really?
He really is an incredible person.
I've been worried because the news kept talking about...
your in-laws' company recently.
Everyone including Aunt Ki Sook and her family are very worried...
after what happened today.
You should visit him often with Sang Hyuk at times like this.
Tell him to forgive him.
He should care for his dad at times like this.
Okay, bye.
Everyone's so worried.
What do you think about visiting Father tomorrow?
I'm sure he'll feel a lot better if you go see him.
From what I heard,
you got fired while working for Chairman Shin as his driver.
Yes, I kind of made a mistake.
The fact that you gambled?
You only gambled to make money for your wife's hospital fees.
But still...
Is your wife still not doing so well?
No, she's not getting any better.
She also needs to receive surgery.
Her hospital fees must cost a lot.
Of course.
I can take care of that for you.
How?
What?
No, I can't do that.
Chairman Shin...
can be impatient.
But he paid me very well.
If I didn't get addicted to gambling,
I'd still be working for him.
You can't even afford your wife's hospital fee right now.
I heard it's a lot of money.
How will you take care of that?
Your wife ended up like that because you kept gambling...
and gave her a hard time.
Don't you think you should save her?
Here's the announcement.
"Hello, I'm Shin Tae Jong of A One Group."
"As the person responsible for what happened,"
"I'd like to sincerely apologize to all the subcontractors and..."
This isn't enough. I want you to add this as well.
"I wasn't educated enough."
"And because I came from the countryside,"
"all I cared about was making money, and that's why this happened."
"I'm sorry."
Don't use hard words like this.
Make it sound more candid and honest like what I said just now.
Okay, sir.
Once things calm down,
I'm going to resign from my position,
and I'll carry out a huge personnel appointment.
I want people to take responsibility and resign from their position.
Does that include Ms. Choi Kyung Shin?
Of course!
She's the main person responsible for this incident.
I want you to become the chairman after I resign.
Then I want you to bring Sang Hyuk and make him the vice-chairman.
Okay.
I'm getting a call from the PR director.
Okay, go ahead and answer it.
Hey, Mr. Park.
Yes.
What? Yes, okay.
Sir, we have a situation.
What's wrong?
Mr. Nam, your previous driver...
Mr. Nam, who used to be Chairman Shin's driver,
testified that Chairman Shin used to abuse his power and mistreated him.
And his testimony is currently creating a stir.
He used to swear at me...
and kick me every time he got the chance.
He would hit me and swear at me if I didn't drive fast enough.
My wife was sick and hospitalized,
but he wouldn't even let me go see her on the day of her surgery.
That little jerk!
Why is he lying?
- What's wrong with him? - I don't know either.
He must be mad.
You were nothing but nice to him, sir.
My gosh, that darn jerk.
- My goodness. - My gosh.
- Chairman Shin. - Dad.
Dad. Dad.
You know what? Just cancel the press conference,
and try to get a grasp of what's going on right now.
Okay.
All that's left is for you to step down, Father.
Hey, Hyun Joon. What happened?
Dad never mistreated Mr. Nam.
Something has to be wrong.
We're trying to get a hold of Mr. Nam.
But he won't answer our calls, and it's weird.
There's no reason for him to say those things about Dad.
I think someone bribed him.
Me too.
Someone's trying to harm Dad...
by using the controversial incident that recently occurred.
Who?
I don't know. It might be one of our subcontractors...
or one of our competing companies.
I already filed a lawsuit,
but a lot of the things that happened...
between Mr. Nam and Dad were in private, so it'll be hard to prove.
Okay, bye.
I feel so sorry for Father.
He's already been through enough yesterday.
Let's go visit him later.
We should be with him at times like this.
Can you do me a favor and stop being so stubborn?
Okay, let's go.
- Come in. - Sir.
Hey, Mr. Park.
The broadcasting station just called...
and told me that they decided to cast Jenny for the saleswoman part.
It's a small role but a good one.
Her character's a girl who managed to succeed...
regardless of her difficult situation.
That's great.
Yes, I think it was possible because we're the drama's main sponsor.
I'll call Jenny.
- Okay, good work. - Thank you.
I'm so glad.
Jenny must be so happy.
Thank you.
Don't mention it. Jenny needs to succeed...
and show her mom what she can do.
This coffee's really nice.
My gosh, this is so frustrating.
What's wrong?
It's about Jenny's birth mother.
My gosh, this is driving me crazy.
Why? Do you know who her mother is?
Well, the thing is...
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to tell you guys.
Who is it?
Tell us.
Ms. Yoon! Mr. Ji!
- Mom! - My goodness, you startled me.
I'll be acting in a drama.
I got a role!
- My goodness, congratulations. - That's great!
- Are you serious? - Yes, she just got a call.
It's a new miniseries, and she got a role as a saleswoman.
Sang Hyuk got her a role because his company is the main sponsor.
I guess that's why they recognized you.
Sang Hyuk is really the best.
He can make everything happen.
My gosh, exactly. Jenny, congratulations.
You can finally start over again.
Yes, I'm so glad to hear the news.
I'm so happy for you.
Yes, I'm going to work really hard.
And I love my role.
Thank you all so much. Thank you!
I'm so happy for you.
Do your best and become a huge star.
Jenny, let's go over to Ji Young's place.
Let's go thank her.
No, don't go there. They're not doing so well right now.
You're so slow-witted.
Didn't you know?
Sang Hyuk's family is going through a lot right now.
- Why? - Why?
Are you keeping Mr. Nam under control?
How's he doing?
He's not picking up any of the calls from A One Group.
And he's doing what he's told.
He feels a bit pressured,
so I don't think we should have him talk to the press anymore.
Okay.
Tell him not to worry and that I'll take care of everything.
Yes.
Make sure you keep your eyes on him.
Father.
Why did Mr. Nam do such an interview?
How could he do this to you?
Did you meet him?
We can't reach him. He won't answer any of our calls.
What a jerk.
How could he repay us like this?
Dad, shouldn't you go to the hospital?
No.
I'm going to go home and rest.
I'll trust that you'll do well.
So please take care of what's left.
Okay. Bye, Dad.
Hello.
You're very young.
Have you ever raised a baby before?
Of course. My baby's five years old.
Really?
She's so pretty. She's a princess.
Do you breastfeed her?
Yes, I had mastitis, so I had to feed her powdered milk for a while.
But I recently started breastfeeding her.
What's wrong?
Well, it's just that your baby seems a little yellow.
Babies are all like this, and she's a bit more yellow than others.
But she might have jaundice.
Why don't you take her to the hospital?
I'm a doctor. It'll be fine.
Oh, you're a doctor? Okay.
What's Father going to do now?
Is he going to stay at the company?
He's going to quit.
He wants me to take over.
That old man really knows how to play the game.
What are you talking about?
Imagine what my dad's going through.
He thinks of A One group like his own precious child.
Exactly. That's why he's pretending to back off.
It's so that he can protect the company.
You can't miss this opportunity.
You never know when Father might come back as the chairman...
and bring Sang Hyuk into the picture.
I can't believe you just said that.
Is that the only way your brain works?
I despise you.
I only live my life for you and Tae Woong.
I don't care if you despise me...
as long as you become the chairman and owner of A One Group.
You're caught in your own greed.
You think you're doing this for me and Tae Woong, but you're wrong.
Whatever the case, I cared for and lived with your parents...
even though they mistreated me all these years.
And I sacrificed everything for A One Group.
Once you become the chairman,
I want you to appoint me as the vice-chairman of the group...
and CEO of the fashion department.
That's absurd.
The main point of this personnel appointment is to fire you.
Why?
I made the fashion department grow a lot bigger...
than when Father used to manage it.
Think about all the new brands I launched...
and all the luxury brands I imported.
There are so many things I need to do.
Your right as a daughter-in-law and the CEO are all gone now.
The only position left for you is to be Tae Woong's mom.
And that's already more than what you deserve.
What am I going to do?
If the new CEO starts investigating everything I've done,
I'll get caught having embezzled all the money.
We're here, sir.
Sir.
Sir. Sir.
Sir!
Call the PR department...
and tell them to stop the press.
And set up a meeting with the subcontractors.
- I'll go meet them myself. - Yes, sir.
Hey, Mom.
What?
- My dad fainted. - What?
I need to do whatever I can to stop myself from getting fired.
Hey, honey.
What?
Father fainted?
How?
Hey, Mr. Moon.
What? Dad fainted?
Father fainted.
How is he doing right now?
Okay, bye.
He's receiving surgery right now.
(Operating Room)
Mother.
What are you doing here?
Are you here because your dad might die?
You never even called when your dad was going through so much.
You're a bad son.
I'm sorry.
How's dad doing?
He's still in the OR.
We'll know once it's done.
He'll be okay. He's a strong man.
Ms. Oh.
Your baby's way too yellow.
I've helped out a lot of mothers...
and took care of a lot of babies.
Something really seems weird.
- Doctor. - How did it go?
Did the surgery go well?
We inserted a stent in his heart...
and treated his blood vessels.
His heart stopped beating due to myocardial infarction,
but thanks to the quick CPR, he managed to stay alive.
He could've died if he came a bit too late.
It's a relief.
Does that mean my dad could've died?
Yes, it was a very dangerous situation.
60 percent of patients with myocardial infarction end up dying.
Your father was very lucky.
What's going to happen now?
- Will he be okay? - I'm not sure.
We can only be sure once he wakes up.
- But he might have brain damage. - Brain damage?
Yes, his oxygen saturation was very low...
when he came here.
The oxygen supply to his brain would've depleted temporarily.
So brain damage is also a possibility.
Let's keep an eye on him for now.
- Okay. - Okay.
Thank you.
So what does that all mean?
Does that mean we don't know if he's going to wake up or not?
And even if he does, is he saying he might not be completely sane?
My goodness gracious.
My gosh.
Don't worry too much.
He'll be okay.
This can't be happening.
He made me suffer all my life.
This can't happen to me.
I can't live like this.
This can't be happening.
Mother.
They apparently moved him to the ICU,
but he's still unconscious.
My goodness.
That old man almost died.
Myocardial infarction is a very scary illness.
You can die from that really easily.
It's a relief that they quickly took him to the hospital.
I hope he wakes up and becomes healthy again.
Are Ji Young and Sang Hyuk at the hospital?
Yes, all his children are there.
Sang Hyuk must feel really upset.
He was on bad terms with his dad for so many years,
and he barely managed to reconcile with him.
Exactly. If his dad passes away,
Sang Hyuk will be really shocked.
By the way, you were going to tell us who Jenny's mother is,
but you couldn't because Jenny suddenly came in.
Who is it? Gosh, I'm dying to know.
What kind of person is she?
Never mind. I don't think I should tell you.
That family's already going through a lot.
I'll be off now. Bye.
You can't leave after making us become so curious.
I know, right? She shouldn't have brought it up in the first place.
But how does she even know?
He'll be okay. Don't be so heartbroken.
Mr. Shin.
Doctor Jung.
I heard about your dad.
I met Professor Hong and asked him.
Apparently, the surgery went well.
Everything will be fine. Don't worry so much.
Thank you, Doctor Jung.
I'll keep my eyes on him,
so call me whenever you have any questions or need anything.
Okay, thank you.
Thank you.
Hye Rim.
It's been a while. I'm surprised to run into you here.
What brings you here? What about the baby?
She's hospitalized.
What? Why?
She has jaundice.
She's in the ICU because she needs radiation treatment.
Oh, I see.
So I can only see her twice a day...
during visiting hours.
I'll check up on her often.
What's her name?
It's Soo Ji. Oh Soo Ji.
Soo Ji?
That's a pretty name.
It seems like you don't come home that often.
Yes, I'm quite busy these days, so I eat and sleep at the hospital.
Oh, I see. It's like you're a resident again.
You must be working hard.
It must be tiring to raise the baby all by yourself.
I hired a doula, and she helps me out a lot.
I see.
This place reminds me of...
back when I used to work as an intern and a resident.
Yes.
But you haven't changed at all.
I'm a mother now.
Yes, that's one thing that's different.
I guess I'll go now.
Yes, it was nice meeting you.
Bye.
(Patient: Oh Soo Ji, Guardian: Oh Hye Rim)
Hi, Soo Ji.
Do you know who I am?
I always used to talk to you. I'm your dad...
I'm that guy.
Do you remember?
Honey.
Is this why you said you'll give me that building?
I was wondering why you would do that.
They say people die if they suddenly change.
Is this why you suddenly started being kind to me?
I don't need anything.
I don't need anything from you, so please just wake up again.
If you just leave me like this, I'm going to scold you so much.
Mother, I'm sure he'll wake up.
He won't die.
You know very well how strong he is.
No, I can't let him die like this.
I can't let him die.
Father, your second son is here.
Sang Hyuk's here.
Dad.
I'm here.
I didn't know this would happen to you.
I'm sorry for coming so late.
Dad.
Wake up.
Everyone's waiting for you.
Please wake up, Dad.
Let's leave him to rest, Hyun Joon.
Let's go.
I guess you're no different, Father.
You seemed so strong.
I feel sorry for you.
Father.
Don't wake up...
and just die.
That'll be best for everyone.
