(It's My Life)
(Episode 120)
- Goodness. - Gosh, I'm fine.
- Sit here. - Okay.
I told you to take a day off, but you really don't listen to me.
Tell me about it.
I've never seen someone so stubborn.
Did you call me stubborn?
Seung Joo is the stubborn one, not me.
I'm like a gentle lamb compared to her.
Come to think of it,
you're both stubborn and have a temper.
Ms. Ko!
See? You just got upset right away.
She's also stubborn about leaving her sick dad and go to the US.
I'm not going on a vacation, but to study.
Can't you just let me go without nagging?
Fine, all right.
You never listened to me anyway.
You can go.
I knew you'd give me permission.
Thank you, Dad.
Promise me one thing in return.
- What is it? - Don't ever...
cry by yourself.
All right, I promise.
Promise me something too.
What is it?
Promise me not to bring home an American boyfriend.
I can't promise that.
I might fall for an American at first sight.
You can't.
The only English I know from school are, "How are you?",
"Fine, thank you. And you?".
That's it. Do you want me to say nothing...
other than that to my son-in-law?
All right, I'll keep that promise too.
I ask you to take good care of my dad...
in return, Stepmom.
Man Seok,
did you just hear that?
She called me her stepmom.
Gosh.
I'm going to work.
I have so much to finish before leaving for the US.
See you later.
Seung Joo, are you going to the US?
What for?
Well...
Please come.
Congratulations, mademoiselle.
Thank you.
Congratulations, Yeon Ji!
This is great news.
Are you holding the wedding in Oepo?
Yes, my father-in-law is an important member of the community.
So he says it has to be in Oepo.
I heard you're pregnant.
And that they're twins.
How did you know?
We recently met a reporter Mr. Jo knows...
and your boyfriend gagged with morning sickness.
That's right. So I asked him...
and he told us he had morning sickness instead of you.
That's quite unusual.
However, I did hear the husband gets morning sickness...
when a couple is in a good relationship.
Wait.
Why did you and Ji Young...
meet a reporter?
Was it you two...
who leaked the story about Ms. Choi?
No, it wasn't.
I only told him that Ms. Choi is acting weird...
and that Mr. Ahn handed in his resignation.
That's it.
I didn't say anything. I was just sitting next to him.
- What are you going to do? - Excuse me?
About what?
Will you go and tell Mr. Heo the truth...
or should I tell him?
Wait, I'll... I'll tell him.
- This is bad. - Goodness.
I knew you'd cause huge trouble sooner or later, Mr. Jo.
I won't let you get away with it if you tell everyone I'm pregnant.
Whatever.
Hi.
What brings you here, Yeon Ji?
I'm here to give you my wedding invitation.
Congratulations, Yeon Ji.
I heard your mother-in-law treats you very well.
Yes, she totally does.
Congratulations, mother of twins!
What's this?
Has the rumor already reached this team?
Wait until I get my hands on Mr. Jo.
I heard from Mr. Lee, not Mr. Jo.
Mr. Lee!
Was it you?
What did I do?
It isn't my fault my heart won't stop fluttering.
It's because the Bride with White Hair is sexy.
What is he talking about?
Mr. Lee must've been dozing off.
Why is your heart fluttering and who is the Bride with White Hair?
I'll be right back.
Where are you going? We're supposed to check out materials today.
There's something wrong with my heart.
The materials aren't important right now.
Bye.
Big news.
What do you mean big news?
Seung Joo is going to the US.
Why is she going to the US?
She's going to study at a fashion school there.
Goodness. What about Mr. Ahn?
Is it really over between them?
Should we tell Mr. Ahn about this...
or not?
Ms. Heo, you look like...
Brigitte Lin in the movie, "The Bride with White Hair",
today.
The actress with boyish charm...
and sex appeal.
This time, I'd like to have dinner with you.
Without In Sook.
Dinner with just you, just the two of us.
- Oh, my. What are you two doing? - Gosh. You startled me.
As you can see, we're arranging flowers.
Flower arrangement, my foot.
My goodness. You chopped the flowers into pieces.
Do you hold a grudge against flowers or something?
Well... Ms. Heo.
I have something to tell you.
I, too, have something to discuss with you.
Oh, my. Excuse me for one second.
(Mr. Lee Sang Hyun)
Hello... Hello?
Hi. This is Lee Sang Hyun, the cool guy.
I have something to tell you.
Could you spare me some time?
Hi, Jin Ah.
Hey. You're here.
Did Mother go somewhere?
Mr. Jang took her to the hospital.
Hey. Is there anything I can do to help?
Of course, there is.
I'll write a document and send it to your e-mail.
So please submit it online before the deadline.
Okay.
Jin Ah, you have something to tell Nam Jin, right?
Well, yes. Actually...
What is it? Go ahead.
It's about Seung Joo.
I heard that she's going to the US to study.
What? What are you talking about?
She's going to attend a fashion school in the US.
I heard that she won't be back for a few years.
I already knew that.
You knew?
But you...
But you're just letting her go like this?
Listen. Mother regained her memory.
Can't you meet up with her and talk it out again?
I want to do as she wants.
She's passionate about her work and has many dreams.
I shouldn't stand in her way and put her through hardship.
Still, shouldn't you see her at least once before she leaves?
The shareholders' meeting is tomorrow. I have no time for that.
Also, work is the most important to me right now.
I'm sure Seung Joo doesn't want that either.
Hey, Dae Sik.
Are you still having morning sickness?
Gosh. You are unusual. Seriously.
Mr. Lee, can you watch my cafe for a minute?
I'll go to the pharmacy and come back.
Seon Hui will be here shortly.
Sure thing.
My goodness. Poor guy.
Welcome, Bride with White Hair.
Please sit here.
Well...
I was wondering if there was something wrong with my heart.
Now I'm sure what caused it.
What do you mean by that?
It means that the Wi-Fi access point of my love...
has been switched.
Well, the signal...
seems quite strong indeed.
Why...
haven't I noticed it until now?
Shouldn't you be happy...
to know it now?
Dad!
What are you two doing right now?
Hey. What are you talking about? I wasn't doing anything.
Gosh.
If it's Ms. Heo,
I approve.
You approve?
I approve of her as your girlfriend.
Ms. Heo, please take good care of my dad.
I hope we'll get along well, Seon Hui.
What brings you here?
My goodness. You were packing your stuff already.
- Please have a seat. - Okay.
In fact,
if you resign at the shareholders' meeting tomorrow,
the new CEO will have to move into this office.
So it's good to clean up your office in advance.
Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Heo.
I don't want to hear what you don't mean.
Oh, dear. It looks like Mr. Heo...
is very upset.
We're doing this to save the company.
You shouldn't take it emotionally. Don't you think?
What would be the ulterior motive behind your plan...
of kicking out the two grandsons of the late chairman,
who proved their abilities to manage the company,
and hire a management expert?
You're going to hire someone you trust as a new CEO...
so you'll have full control over the company.
Isn't that what you want?
Oh, boy.
You are completely misunderstanding me.
The new CEO will be elected...
by the shareholders' votes.
You're saying that the new CEO will be elected by the shareholders,
but Nam Jin and Si Woo, the largest shareholders,
are not allowed to vote. Do you think that makes sense?
Wouldn't it be only suitable in fulfilling the purpose...
of hiring a management expert?
Also, since it's a very important matter...
that will decide Hyunkang's future,
we will hold a blind voting...
in order to make it fair.
Mr. Ahn is right.
We can't predict who will be elected...
as the new CEO either.
Mr. Jo, your son completed an MBA at University of Michigan, right?
I think that is enough...
to tell who's your son...
out of all the other candidates...
as the new CEO.
Well...
I just sent all of you an e-mail.
Please forward the e-mail to Hyunkang's minority shareholders.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Also, encourage the members of stock market forums...
to attend the shareholders' meeting.
Ask all those who have Hyunkang's shares to attend the meeting.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Hello.
I am Ahn Nam Jin, the team manager...
of Hyunkang's Design Team Two.
Hyunkang is facing an important crossroad now.
Hyunkang will throw out its old, family business tradition...
and hire a management expert to keep up with the times.
Hence, the largest shareholders of Hyunkang...
won't have a vote at the upcoming shareholders' meeting.
We made this decision because we believe...
that your opinions matter the most.
Please make sure to attend the shareholders' meeting tomorrow,
and elect the new CEO...
who will lead the new Hyunkang.
Nam Jin grew up so well, right?
He's smart.
He is magnanimous...
and is good at work.
What do you think will happen at the shareholders' meeting?
Will Mr. Heo really resign...
and a management expert be hired instead?
I don't know.
Nam Jin seems to have an idea,
but he won't tell me.
He just asked me to trust him and Si Woo.
Your temper has subsided.
You would've wanted to do everything your way in the past.
I feel like he'd find a way...
to make everyone happy.
Yes, I'm sure Mr. Ahn will do that.
However,
do you think Nam Jin is happy right now?
What?
What do you mean by that?
I want to help him get back with Seung Joo.
What do you think I should do?
They've already broken up.
It can't be undone.
I'll meet Seung Joo and persuade her.
Come in.
- Are you all packed? - Yes.
I'll bring the other stuff in a few days.
Thank you.
Also, here.
What is this?
It's the money I saved from my paycheck.
I saved it to buy a bag I wanted,
but I'm giving it to you as an allowance.
You don't have to.
I have money.
Buy that bag you want.
I just want to do something for you.
This is the least I can do for my beautiful, grown-up daughter.
Thank you.
Get plenty of rest. Jae Yun said he'd drive you to the airport.
That's unnecessary. I can take a taxi.
Man Seok's heart will break to see you go alone and go after you.
Is that okay with you?
- Get some rest. - Okay.
Say goodbye to Mr. Ahn before you leave.
You'll feel bad if you go without saying goodbye to him.
I believe...
it's much better to regret doing something than not doing it.
Nam Jin,
it's me, Seung Joo.
(Seung Joo, Voice message)
I'm leaving to the US tomorrow.
I'm going to study what I always wanted to.
We'll be able to meet again if we're meant to, right?
In the future, when we both become okay to face each other,
let's become good friends.
Goodbye, Nam Jin.
You get scared and lonely easily.
How are you going to get through this alone?
Here, here.
I heard today is an important day.
What is this?
It's Mom's talisman.
A talisman?
Let's see.
Gosh, it's a petty 10-dollar bill?
How do you call this a talisman?
This isn't any ordinary 10-dollar bill.
It holds my prayers.
Whenever I had something important come up,
Mom gave me a new bill in an envelope like this.
She even gave me one when I took the university entrance exam.
She went to a bank in town to exchange it for a new bill.
I felt confident...
whenever I touched this envelope every time I had a test.
I think the shareholders' meeting will go well today.
Of course, it will.
Trust me.
Oh, right. You said you're bringing Ms. Choi home today. Right, Si Woo?
Yes, Ms. Heo.
I'll have the master bedroom cleaned thoroughly.
Mom, you remember you promised to go back to Oepo...
if you fight with Mother again, right?
I do. Here.
Take your talisman.
Go on now.
The weather is great today.
Something good will happen for sure.
- Go on. - Bye.
- Have a good day. - Bye.
- Good luck! - Thank you.
(Mr. Heo)
Meet me at the lobby in three hours.
I'll probably want to see you the most...
after the shareholders' meeting, Ms. Yang.
(Shareholders' Meeting)
Let's go.
Thank you for being here...
at Hyunkang's 34th shareholders' meeting.
First, Mr. Heo, the current CEO, will greet us.
(Hyunkang Group)
You are the owners of Hyunkang...
and I'd like to truly thank you...
for being at the shareholders' meeting.
There were several problems at Hyunkang recently...
and I'm sure the shareholders must have been worried,
feeling a sense of an owner's risk.
I'd like to apologize from the bottom of my heart.
I'll take full responsibility of all causes...
and step down.
From now on,
Hyunkang will adopt...
hiring a management expert as you suggested...
and look forward to achieving new goals.
I hope you will support Hyunkang's future...
with much love.
Thank you.
Whom are you waiting for?
Are you waiting for Mr. Heo?
That is none of your business.
Don't mind me and go back to standing guard.
How am I supposed to not mind you?
Goodness.
Hi, Mr. Heo.
Did you wait for a long time?
No, I didn't.
I'd like to take a walk. Would you be okay?
Of course.
I'll be right back. Wait right here.
What?
For a fair vote,
all the management experts who have applied...
went through a blind test and passed.
We have chosen three candidates out of all applicants.
On the screen in front of you, you will see...
the profile and work experiences of the three candidates.
You can vote...
1 of the 3 candidates.
(Voting completed)
Gosh. That sly old man.
How dare he holds her hand?
You've been waiting for long.
The next CEO of Hyunkang chosen by the shareholders...
as the new management expert is...
Candidate C.
Is Candidate C here, by any chance?
Yes, I'm here.
What?
(It's My Life)
I resigned from my position as the CEO earlier today.
Let's adjust our pace and walk together.
- In Sook? - Chung San!
- Seung Joo is going to the US. - What do you mean she's leaving?
She's going to study abroad. Her flight will leave this afternoon.
Does he want us to leave the company because he became the CEO?
We can't leave like this.
We must find a way to get another chance.
