-=Episode 11=-
Were you waiting because you were afraid I wouldn't come?
Truthfully, I was nervous. I was worried your mother might hide you away.
Then I could just run away again.
Since I did it once, couldn't I do it a second time?
Stop kidding around.
What about your grandmother?
Let's go.
Hyeong, you came?
Yi Gyeong is here, Mother.
Hello, Mother.
You came.
How is grandmother doing?
She's out of danger for now,
but the doctor says we should be prepared.
Mom, I'll be leaving now.
Hyeong, Nuna...
Go in and see her.
Okay.
Ru Mi nuna, it's me.
What? Yi Gyeong is back?
Gang In, where did you say you are?
Grandmother, Yi Gyeong is here.
Grandmother, I came.
Gang Ju, I have something to tell her.
You two can talk.
I'll go out.
I asked for you to come because I wanted to see you one last time.
For not telling you this sooner, I'm sorry.
I hope you can understand.
We can talk about that later.
You said it was for my sake, right? The way you took care of that house all these years.
Even if that belief was only superstition,
I don't resent you.
Just as I overcame that fear,
I hope you will soon come to accept this reality.
You came.
This must be very hard for you.
I hope your mother can recover soon.
Thank you for your concern.
You must have been very shocked,
but I was also worried to death.
Fortunately, Heaven watched over them and they have come back safely.
Anyway, you have too much going on right now.
We can talk about the kids' situation some other time.
Let's do that.
Mother, I'll come over to your house this evening.
You're going to have to accept punishment, so be prepared.
Yes. I'll be ready for it.
Be careful going home.
I'll see you later.
It's me.
Yes, I'm still at the hospital.
What did he say?
President is at the hospital. Jang Yi Gyeong was at the hospital, too.
Really?
If I keep asking, people will think I'm a stalker.
But, what's going on? Tell me.
That... I really can't tell you.
Jin Ju, you like the President, right?
You're really clueless. Don't say ridiculous things.
Then what can't you tell me?
I don't know. I don't know.
=The number you called is currently unavailable...=
What to do? I can't get hold of Manager Yi Hyeon either.
Should I call the police?
No.
You said it was for my sake, right? The way you took care of that house all these years.
Even if that belief was only superstition,
I don't resent you.
Mother.
I have something to tell you.
Go take care of things. Make sure there won't be any problems.
Yes, I understand.
Mom, Gang Ju is here!
She's not going to throw me out, is she?
If she throws you out, I'll go with you.
Please accept this, Mother.
Do you think one bouquet of flowers will make me forgive you?
Mom.
For making you worried, I'm sorry.
Although we made a mistake,
I will cherish her even more,
and we will live happily.
Please forgive me and give us your consent.
Mom.
She's my own child, but Yi Gyeong is really terrible.
I never dreamed she'd go behind my back like this.
That's why they say it's no use having a daughter.
She'll abandon her own mother to run off with a man.
Mom, we'll be good to you from now on.
Please take care of my Yi Gyeong.
She has already left my embrace.
I'm counting on you, President Choe.
Thank you, Mother.
Get rid of her quietly. Remember to keep your mouths shut.
Haven't we done business before?
Du Rim!
Oppa!
Are you okay?
Hurry and get up. We have to leave.
Well, well. How did this mouse get in here?
Bastard!
Du Rim, run!
Run, Du Rim! Go quickly!
Come here.
Oppa!
You bastard.
Oppa!
Oppa! Oppa!
Okay. I'll be right there.
At the hospital, did grandmother say something to you?
Are you curious?
It's a secret.
You didn't say anything strange, did you?
What can I do?
Something urgent came up, so I have to go out.
It's not a problem at the company?
Nothing like that. Don't be concerned.
Finish eating dinner and talk a while before you go.
Don't come out. Just relax.
Yi Gyeong, I'll be back soon.
Are you okay?
Hot!
You eat like a kid.
But, I don't know when,
every time I held your hand, my fear would disappear.
I thought I would like to spend my life with you by my side.
If you feel sorry, then I will really feel like I don't have a chance.
I'll wait for you... over in a corner, until you come.
How did you let this happen?
I'm sorry, President.
How did this happen? Give me the details.
Why did this get out of hand?
Well...
I asked you how this happened!
Let me answer that.
You never thought we would see each other here, did you?
I'm also quite surprised,
that we would happen to meet at a place like this.
Even more astonishing is that child sitting in front of the operating room.
She's your daughter, right?
=Yes, Mother.=
Have you had dinner?
Yes. Yi Gyeong's mother made us a lot of good food.
=Yi Gyeong is next to you, right? Can you put her on the phone?=
Yes, Mother.
This has all been a lot of hard work for you, Yi Gyeong.
=What do you mean, Mother? It wasn't work.=
Okay. Gang Ju and you, have a good time.
=Okay. Goodbye.=
Na Du Rim. She came here from Namhae.
If I guessed correctly,
you brought in your substitute following Gang Ju's inauguration ceremony.
The one who said their love vows with Gang Ju was also not Yi Gyeong, but that child.
You blinded our eyes and ears, and used that girl's life as a pawn.
Is this how you planned to steal the Taeyang Group daughter-in-law's position?
Wasn't it you who was playing with Yi Gyeong's life from the beginning?
From the beginning, you never intended Yi Gyeong to become your daughter-in-law.
You were too greedy, and that is where the real problem lies.
Those who reach for more than they deserve,
bring disaster upon themselves.
I don't want to create a lot of noise about this situation.
If you will let this all drop quietly, I won't pursue it any further.
Eventually, it will all settle down.
You know that you can't take very long, right?
Give me your answer by tomorrow.
I will answer you right now.
=Before I pass, I have something to say to you.=
What I'm about to tell you,
don't be surprised.
This is the story of 30 years ago, Gang Ju's father and his first bride.
After the wedding ceremony,
they went to the villa for their honeymoon.
I went there, too.
I wanted to make sure.
After her first night as a bride, what would happen to her?
But I was shocked to see that she was actually alive and well.
In that diary, she had written something amazing.
Their family curse wasn't real.
We had an unspoken agreement that if the first wife died,
my Myeong Hui could then have and keep that position.
But that bride was safe and alive.
I could only think of my Myeong Hui losing her position,
and without even thinking...
for the sake of my daughter's happiness...
Just for my lovely daughter, who since the age of 20,
had spent every day only longing for Gang Ju's father...
in that split second, I trampled on someone else's daughter... someone else's life...
This is the last page of the diary.
The biggest mistake that you and I made
was completely believing in that curse.
Fortunately, a chance to correct that mistake fell into my lap.
That was all thanks to your mother.
If these facts become known to the world,
needless to say, your family...
and even Taeyang Group, what do you think will become of them?
Ah, I think you might be curious.
Du Rim that child, why she was able to survive that night.
I don't want this situation to escalate either.
We only need to let this marriage stand as it is.
Compared to us, what you stand to lose is much greater.
I'm sure you understand that.
You are also aware this matter can't wait very long.
You have until tomorrow.
Ever since yesterday, it's felt like we're in the middle of a storm.
The big waves have passed now, right?
Didn't I tell you?
My mother's anger would melt away like snow.
Actually, I'm worried more about your brother than your mother.
Do you know how scary your brother is?
My brother is?
Are older brothers like that?
When a man wants to date their younger sisters,
do they see him as a thief?
Sometimes I felt like he was a predator who wanted to eat me.
Your oppa...
No... Now I should call him my hyeongnim, right?
Tell hyeongnim that I want to have a drink with him very soon.
Okay.
When did your ugly hands become so silky soft?
I just had a treatment at the nail shop today.
Your family is probably waiting. You should go.
You probably didn't sleep well last night, did you?
Now that we have nothing to worry about, go get some sleep.
Gang Ju, you too.
I'm going.
Don't come out. It's very cold.
Go back inside.
Du Rim! What happened?
What about Yi Hyeon?
Jin Ju.
Doctor, how is my brother?
We've done all we can, but only time will tell.
Jin Ju... what about my brother?
It's because of me. It's because of me.
What can I do for him? What can I do?
Their family curse wasn't real.
All of this, it was just a test to find true love.
Now I will be able to stay by his side forever.
I'm the happiest bride in the world.
If these facts become known to the world,
needless to say, your family...
and even Taeyang Group, what do you think will become of them?
Young master, you just came back?
Young master, congratulations!
All this time, you must have really been suffering.
We're even happier than when our own daughter got married.
Courage! Decisiveness! Confidence!
You are really cool. Really great!
Why are you like this?
Even death can't stop eternal love.
Aigoo. It's just so romantic.
Please go in. The Chairman is waiting for you.
Okay.
You should listen to me.
I'm back, Father.
Thank you for trusting me, Father.
Well done.
So many stars.
Oppa did?
How badly did he get hurt?
Where is that hospital?
I told you Du Rim is there.
It won't be good if you run into her.
Mom!
Yi Hyeon brought this on himself. Don't feel sorry for him.
With big goals, sometimes small sacrifices have to be made.
Now we just need Gang Ju's mother to wave the white flag and surrender.
Then everything will be finished.
Oppa, how can you sleep so much?
Please, just open your eyes.
I have so much to say to you.
I'm holding so much inside, it's going to burst out of me.
So much that I don't know where to begin.
Oppa.
Yi Hyeon oppa.
I knew that you would make the wise decision.
Please officially recognize Yi Gyeong as the Taeyang Group daughter-in-law.
You could make a wedding announcement or have a press conference.
Whatever way you choose,
please take steps to formally announce it.
Of course we must.
But as you know, Gang Ju's grandmother is seriously ill.
It's really not the best time for us right now.
Please wait a little while.
We'll make the official announcement very soon.
It's not that I don't trust you,
but the truth I'm holding is more devastating than the one you hold, you know that, right?
When a deal is made, usually the party with the most to lose assumes more of the burden.
What else do you want? Please tell me.
Return the shares you have in 5-Star Construction back to me.
Transfer your personal shares in Taeyang Group over to Yi Gyeong.
You should show at least that much sincerity.
Then I will be able to trust you and know you approve of Yi Gyeong as a daughter-in-law.
One last thing.
Please be sure the funds intended to support 5-Star Construction are in place.
Ah! And...
That child Du Rim must never appear in front of President Choe again.
I believe that you will be able to take care of that situation.
Just eat one bite.
You don't sleep. You don't eat.
If this continues, what happens if you collapse, too?
What about grandmother?
Don't worry.
I already told her that Yi Hyeon was injured at a construction site.
After you came back from Namhae, you went to take care of him.
That's what I told her.
Come on and eat. You have to keep up your strength.
You need strength to take care of Yi Hyeon.
Oppa! Oppa!
Oppa! Yi Hyeon oppa! Oppa!
Jin Ju! Hurry and call the doctor! Hurry!
Oppa! Oppa! What to do? Oppa!
Oppa! Wake up! Oppa!
Doctor! Hurry!
Prepare the cardiac stimulant.
Doctor, is my brother okay?
We're taking the necessary measures, so don't be worried.
Call the cardiologist.
Oppa! Yi Hyeon oppa! Oppa!
We were blinded by the cover and didn't look beyond it.
At an age where I should have seen everything, I was instead blinded by a superstition.
It seems like my life was spent in a fog.
As this point, who can I blame?
To have believed in that rumor so firmly was stupid of me and I hate myself for it.
For you and I to sit together like this,
today will be the last time.
I don't have a lot to say.
Don't appear in front of Gang Ju again.
Just like you were dead and without even breathing,
go live your life quietly.
In exchange, I will protect your life.
I'll make sure that Yi Gyeong's side won't harm you again.
It doesn't matter what happens to me,
but hurting Yi Hyeon oppa like that,
I can't forgive that.
Forgiveness...
that's something the powerful can give to those who are weaker.
Do you think you have that kind of power?
I really can't understand...
why are you letting them get away with this?
I won't try to hold onto Gang Ju.
At first, I just wanted to stay by Gang Ju's side,
so I was going to tell him the truth.
But not anymore.
But for Gang Ju's sake, you can't just accept this.
The reason I can overlook this is because I have no power.
I don't know what the deeper story is, but I can't do that.
Those who committed a wrong should be punished.
I'm wiling to accept my punishment.
If not now, there won't be another chance.
Are you still trying to keep the position of Taeyang Group's daughter-in-law for yourself?
Are you trying to satisfy your own greed by telling me you'll accept punishment?
I told you before.
I'm not doing this because I'm trying to hold onto Gang Ju.
I don't want you and Gang Ju to be involved again in any way.
Gang Ju and you are from completely different worlds.
You can't ever be together or involved in any way.
I like Gang Ju, and not because he's an heir.
If he was just an ordinary man,
if it was like that... then he could have been mine.
From the day I was born until now,
I never once regretted being born to my mom and dad.
But after I fell in love with Gang Ju,
I wished I had been born as a better match for him.
That would have been great.
I even had that kind of thought.
But now, I feel very sorry to my father and mother,
that it even crossed my mind.
I will rely on you.
If you appear in front of Gang Ju,
it will hurt him tremendously.
Disappear.
Let it be like you never existed.
Do that for the sake of Gang Ju.
Why did you do that, Mom?
You shouldn't have done that for me.
I made you become a criminal. How can I live with that?
I only wanted you to be proud of me as your daughter.
But what is this?
I became the reason you ruined your life.
Mom.
I'm sorry, Myeong Hui.
It was all my fault.
I'm the one who did this to you.
It's my fault you believed in that family's curse.
Please forgive your foolish and worthless mother.
Don't starve yourself and remember to eat well.
You can't afford to lose your energy when you're caring for someone.
Don't worry, Grandmother.
Manager Jang Yi Hyeon isn't someone who would fall so easily.
I'm sure he'll be up and around again in no time.
Of course. He's a very strong person.
I'm going. Don't come out, Grandmother.
Okay. Go on.
She doesn't look like a ghost. She's definitely alive.
What's going on here?
Take care of Yi Hyeon.
It looks like whom Yi Hyeon needs now isn't us, but you, Du Rim.
If you want to, you can take Yi Hyeon and run away together.
I can help you find a good place to treat Yi Hyeon.
Don't pretend you're doing this for his sake!
You just want to get me out of sight!
Do you think this happened to Yi Hyeon because of me?
If you hadn't decided to become greedy, this wouldn't have had to happen.
That's right.
Because I wanted to try to stay with Gang Ju, it all turned out this way.
Maybe I was being greedy and this is my punishment.
I'm starting to realize how cruel this reality actually is.
That there's something even more frightening than the family curse.
It's watching people tear each other apart like starving beasts in pursuit of greed.
Although they wear human skin, they're not really humans.
There's one thing you need to remember.
If you have a change of heart,
I can't guarantee the safety of your grandmother and that friend, Jin Ju.
I think you are really pathetic.
After you abandon a son and destroy the lives of others,
just what will you gain from it?
You wouldn't understand,
because you come from a different world than us.
If everyone in your world is like that,
I wouldn't be part of it even for all the money in the world.
All of you may not want me as part of your world,
but I don't want to be involved with all of you, either!
And I'm not going to forgive you.
I can't even forgive myself for my own greed.
How could I forgive any of you?
Until I can forgive myself,
I will pay back what I owe to Oppa,
although I don't know if I can pay it back in this lifetime.
Your brother doesn't answer my calls. Has he been very busy?
Didn't I tell you?
There have been some complaints at the Dubai construction site,
so he went there the day before yesterday.
I would really like to meet with him soon.
Since he's abroad, he'll be gone for a while, right?
Yes. He called earlier,
and said he'd like to get drinks with you when he gets back.
It's fine. My expression, my voice, the sound of my breathing...
I hope you won't remember any of it.
If you can be happy with someone who isn't me,
that will be enough.
Take care. Goodbye.
I haven't seen you in a while, Ru Mi.
Right. You really haven't seen me in a long time.
Although I can't say the same.
I've already congratulated Gang Ju, so I'll pass.
You're looking good. Like you're totally happy.
Thanks.
But why aren't you wearing a ring? Didn't you have couple rings?
Only you're wearing one?
Oppa, you didn't put one on some other woman's hand, did you?
I'm only joking.
How in this world could there be a man who doesn't recognize the woman he loves?
President, I'll leave the documents you need to sign here.
Your ring... what happened to it?
That...
You're not hiding it so you can still pretend to be single, are you?
I'm sorry. I left it at home.
You've been acting weird.
At the villa before, you said you wanted to tell me something.
What did you want to say to me?
It was nothing.
What do you mean nothing? You seemed so serious about it.
You aren't actually hiding a man somewhere, are you?
That's enough out of you, Choe Gang Ju.
Let's go. Your mother and father are probably waiting.
Grandmother, I'm back.
You're back?
You look half dead. Are you sick?
I'm not sick. Just a little tired.
These are really good. Very sticky.
Who brought this? I'll have to go eat there sometime.
What is there that brings you here again?
You bastard, you get lots of good food to eat.
For 100 years, I haven't even had a single bowl of rice as an offering.
Then have some of this.
Are you mocking me?
How can you expect me to eat this unclean human food?
I made a terrible mistake. Please forgive me!
It looks like I won't get anything to eat this year either.
That child was unable to climb over the high wall of reality.
Well, now that you mention it... allow me to ask you one thing.
Didn't you say something bad would happen to that child?
But, I saw that she's still alive and well.
And so?
How could you tell me the wrong fortunes?
If my reputation is ruined, will you take responsibility?
Bastard, how dare you! You shouldn't argue with me.
If you don't like it, I can just go somewhere else.
If you leave me like this, what am I supposed to do?
I have committed a great sin! I'm very sorry!
You haven't really abandoned me, have you?
Then you must be sure to come back... okay?
Father, do you like it?
Of course I like it.
When I go for walks, I can just wear it like this.
When you go for walks, remember to invite me, Father.
Okay. If I have someone to talk to, I won't get bored.
Mother, try yours on.
Yi Gyeong walked around the mall 3 times before she bought it.
She dragged me along with her for 2 hours.
Yes, let me see it on you.
Gang Ju gave me some hints. He said that you like scarves.
Try it on, Mother.
Later.
Just try it on.
I said I'd do it later.
Mother, please don't hate me too much.
I don't expect a close mother- daughter type relationship.
But I hope you won't turn your back on me, or things will be very awkward here.
So?
Grandmother didn't want things to be uncomfortable for you.
Your mother did everything she could for you.
You're just the same.
In order to find a better match for Gang Ju,
you were willing to play with my life.
Now you're having to pay the price for that.
When did you start drawing?
I started it when I was in elementary school.
What is the real you?
Why are you laughing?
Don't you remember that time?
You were in here doing a one-woman show, jumping all around.
I was the only one who got to see it. That's really too bad.
Let's stop talking about the past.
But then, I guess you don't want to remember your dark past.
Yes, I don't really remember a thing.
Really? Should I help you remember?
What are you doing?
You still don't remember?
Why are you doing this?
Should I close the door again?
What is it?
Dinner is ready...
We should go out.
Aren't you a little hungry?
Let's go have some udon noodles.
Enjoy your food.
You actually eat this kind of thing?
Try some.
I can't eat soondae. It gives me a headache just smelling it.
I thought you were crazy for soondae.
Then don't eat it. There's more for me.
Do you remember this place?
Of all your many strange performances,
I think your best one was here.
You were wearing that big fur coat
that would have kept you warm even at the North Pole.
I was just with my friend and we were doing manhwa cosplay.
Cosplay, you know...
What do you think? I'm sexy aren't I?
Ah. I really hate being cold.
I seem to remember that it was very cold that day.
And... what about that strange thing on your head?
That hat.
My mother gave me that hat when I graduated.
It's special to me.
And also, you were worried about getting it on your clothes,
so you wouldn't even touch the cake that I bought for you.
I even got an organic cake.
It's so good! This cake melts in your mouth!
Gang Ju, try some of it.
How could I eat something like that here?
But since you got it for me,
I ate all of it after I went home.
Don't worry.
We should be going now.
Lastly... There was one more important thing that happened here.
What... else?
You... who are you?
-=Next Episode Preview=-
You're not the Jang Yi Gyeong I know.
If Gang Ju knew that you existed, then...
Just pretend you don't know. Please do that.
You know who the woman is I put the ring on. Answer me.
Jang Yi Gyeong.
You're living so comfortably in this world.
Even your heart can be traded for money.
Come to your senses! You are Taeyang Group's successor!
If something goes wrong, our family could be ruined in an instant!
I tried to erase it, but I just can't...
Let me go.
Oppa!
