(Episode 45)
My gosh, why are you doing this?
Your sister... Your sister...
What is the matter with you?
So... So Dam...
So Dam...
- Gosh. - So Dam...
Come here. Hurry.
Where are they?
Hey.
Why don't you sit down first?
Where's Tae Woong?
Seo Hyung.
Tae Woong.
I won't be easy on her if you don't come out.
1, 2...
Okay.
Since when did you start seeing each other?
We're not seeing each other, Ms. Choi.
Really? Then why did you run away?
I'm sure you ran away because you did something wrong.
I only ran because he made me run with him.
What?
Do you expect me to believe that right now?
Will you please say something?
Why did you make her run with you?
- Because I didn't want to die! - What do you mean?
I wrote a memorandum saying she can kill me if I talk with So Dam...
for more than three seconds.
That's why you caused all this fuss?
You know your sister is a woman of her word.
The moment I saw your sister's face, my mind just went blank.
I couldn't think of anything else.
Okay, fine.
Why did you two meet?
Are you not going to tell me?
I wanted to buy her meat.
Why would you buy her meat?
When you're a trainee,
you're always hungry.
So I was going to buy her meat with the money you gave me.
You were going to buy meat...
with the money I gave you?
Are you crazy?
My gosh.
Did you just sneer at me?
She didn't sneer at you.
She just sighed because of the situation.
Hey.
Do you think of my husband as a joke?
No, you must take me lightly as well...
seeing that I'm jealous of your sister.
Why don't you try that one more time?
Go ahead and sneer at me one more time.
Stop it.
I'm not going to stop just because I tell you to.
How far are you going to take this?
They're both claiming they're innocent.
Are you going to accuse So Dam of something she didn't do...
just so you can vent your anger on her?
If you do that, I'll go crazy and will do anything to you.
And if I do that, you'll counterattack.
Are you insisting we should fight until one of us dies?
Why do you always say that?
Are you threatening me right now?
She's just saying you should stop.
Why are you having a lovers' quarrel in my office?
Go home with Tae Woong, and deal with this at home.
No! I want to deal with it here!
I'll die if I go home.
This is all because of you.
Come with me!
My goodness.
- She should sit on the sofa. - Okay.
So Dam, get up.
So Yu, I'm late for practice.
I'm sorry for everything.
Wait. So...
I feel sorry to even apologize.
You didn't do anything wrong.
Wait, wait!
Honey! The CEO of LX Entertainment is killing someone!
- Just die! - Gosh, no!
You should smile like that.
Why did you want to eat here?
I thought you didn't like Western food.
Excuse me.
One gorgonzola pizza.
One rose pasta, one spaghetti alle vongole,
and one cream bacon pasta.
And we'd also like some Coke.
Why did you order so much?
Don't you think 4 dishes would be a bit too much for the 2 of us?
Is it okay if there are 3 people eating 4 dishes?
What are you doing here?
Didn't you tell her?
Surprise.
The day after tomorrow?
An engagement ceremony shouldn't be held in such a rush.
I think that's the only time my dad can make it to Korea.
His schedule's packed until the summer.
Plus, he barely even managed to make time for me.
But it's a once-in-a-lifetime event.
You don't even have much time to prepare.
People have small weddings these days.
To be honest, my friends would make fun of me...
if I tell them that I'm having an engagement ceremony.
Really?
The day after tomorrow?
Is either one of us terminally ill?
Hey, come on.
You shouldn't say stuff like that.
Then why are we rushing?
That's the only time Ji Yoon's dad can make it.
Does he think he's Bill Gates or something?
Even Bill Gates wouldn't ask his daughter...
to hold an engagement ceremony that meets his schedule.
You're going to get engaged anyway, so let's just make Ji Yoon happy.
But I'm not sure about her yet.
Why aren't you sticking to your word?
You told me that you'll marry the woman I choose for you...
without thinking twice.
I didn't say "without thinking twice".
You most certainly did.
"I'll marry the woman you approve of..."
"without thinking twice." You definitely said that.
But Ji Yoon's a different story.
Marriage is no big deal.
The best kind of marriage is to marry the person...
you're told to marry and slowly start developing feelings for them.
Your mom and I got married like that as well.
- Mom? - Yes.
We were a little awkward with each other at first,
but your mom was very affectionate just like you.
Do I take after her?
You're exactly like your mom.
So you should quickly get married...
and have children.
I personally think your daughter...
will look just like your mom.
Just the thought of it alone is enough to make my heart race.
What about Eun Byeol?
She looks nothing like your mom.
My wish is to die after I see...
your son and daughter.
You're going to make my wish come true, right?
What are you doing?
- Is that... - Gosh, wait.
Drink some water first.
Is that your lunch?
Well, it's too early for dinner.
You should eat your instant noodles outside sitting down.
- Why are you eating standing up? - It'll smell.
Who doesn't like instant noodles?
It's better than any kind of air freshener.
Should I put this in your office?
You always tell me I pull tactless pranks.
But you're even worse.
What's wrong with this place? Why is no one here?
- My goodness. - Hey...
If she finds out you're in here, she'll throw a fit.
Stay right here.
Hello.
I came here because I couldn't control my anger during my meal.
You and So Dam...
shouldn't be treating me like this.
Stop anyone you see on the street and ask them...
if they think it's okay for you to treat me this way...
when I'm the one who saved your mom's life.
I was always grateful for what you did.
You were grateful?
Does that mean you were grateful but not anymore?
It's true that my mom was able to get surgery thanks to you.
But in return for that, So Dam worked really hard.
She even followed you to the States to take care of you,
and she raised the baby on her own.
That's not something a normal 25-year-old can do.
So is she...
trying to steal my husband from me now that she needs more money?
That's a misunderstanding. She'd never do something like that.
Do you know your sister that well?
Yes, I know her better than anyone.
Don't put on airs.
She's a lot more brazen than she seems.
Will you please just trust me?
I'll take responsibility of my sister.
We're very much aware of how bad cheating is.
Can you please just leave So Dam alone...
so we can continue feeling grateful for what you did for us?
Please.
Why do you spend such a long time eating?
What's wrong with her?
Why aren't you sticking to your word?
You told me that you'll marry...
the woman I choose for you without thinking twice.
I'll distract Mr. Kang,
so hurry up and go to your office.
Okay?
There's a mouse there!
- A mouse! - Where?
Over there! My goodness!
- A mouse! - Where is it?
My goodness! A mouse!
Gosh, I have a cramp.
I'm sorry. I have a cramp.
Goodness.
What? What did you just say?
The day after tomorrow?
Yes, that's the only day my dad can make it.
And I can't have an engagement ceremony without him.
So there was no other choice.
But even so,
an engagement ceremony is a really big deal.
The chairman won't approve of it.
He has very high hopes for Seo Jun.
He probably won't be satisfied even if you guys have...
the biggest engagement ceremony in Korea.
The chairman already gave me his approval, Ms. Hong.
What?
He already gave you his approval?
Yes. He told me to ask you...
if I needed anything.
I see.
By the way, why aren't you calling me "Ms. Hong"?
You used to call me "Mother".
As the future daughter-in-law of LX Group,
I figured I shouldn't confuse the employees...
by calling you "Mother" when you're also just an employee.
What?
I mean, don't you agree? It'd be really funny.
It's not like you and Father are a married couple.
So I can't call you "Mother" as I call him "Father".
Yes.
You're right.
I'll reserve the venue and catering service.
You can help me out by taking care of the decorations.
I think flowers and candles should be enough.
Just for your information, I prefer things in moderation.
Okay.
What brings you here again?
Follow me.
What made you come all the way here?
How could you let them move up their engagement date...
when I told you to stop them from getting engaged?
What do you mean they moved up the engagement date?
Seo Jun and Ji Yoon are getting engaged the day after tomorrow.
Does that mean it's all over?
That's what I'd like to ask you.
Is it all over?
Did you agree to take this job...
without even being determined enough to finish what you were told to do?
What have you been doing? Why can't you get that fool to like you?
It turns out...
- he's not a fool. - What?
He's pushing ahead the more I try to stop him.
I'll do whatever I can to pay you back.
I'll work part-time jobs during weekends.
And I won't use a single penny of my paycheck.
So please...
Please save my mom.
There's just no other way.
The only reason you think there's no other way...
is because you're thinking about paying me back.
If you need that money so desperately,
sleep with him if you must to stop their engagement!
What did you just say?
- Who's here? - Mi Ri.
Mi Ri came here?
Yes.
She must be crazy.
How dare she come to my house?
Peekaboo.
How pretty.
She's like a doll. Gosh, look at these hands.
Look at your lips.
I'm amazed by how you have everything.
We have everything you need
There's nothing we don't have
Hwagae Market Site
Goodness.
Are you here to kidnap my daughter?
She's so pretty.
She looks just like her dad.
Eun Byeol.
Why would you let her hold our baby?
It's not like she's a stranger. She asked if she could hold her.
Come here.
Don't you know that most kidnappers turn out to be acquaintances?
Acquaintances?
People you know. Take her inside.
You didn't begin talking yet, did you?
Is this fun for you?
I don't have much free time,
so just get to your point and get out of here.
I like your dad.
Hey, lady.
I want to live a happy life with your dad,
- but you're the obstacle. - Obstacle?
I came to ask for your approval.
What if I can't give you my approval?
Then I'll just have to declare war.
Declare war?
I'm going to find your weakness and use that to threaten you.
You're going to threaten her?
That's her profession.
How will you find my weakness when I have none?
Is Eun Byeol really your daughter?
Have you gone nuts?
Of course, she's my daughter.
Then I wonder what started that rumor.
What rumor?
I can't tell you everything. It'll be no fun.
Instead of being forced to approve of us by being threatened,
you should do so while I'm being nice.
I'd rather die...
than to call you my stepmom.
You don't need to call me that.
You can keep calling me by my name.
All I want is for you to approve of your dad's remarriage.
No wonder your acting is so horrible.
It's because you have a problem understanding things properly.
The fact that I don't want to call you my stepmom...
means I disapprove of my dad's remarriage.
People have been criticizing my acting skills for 30 years.
But I never gave up and came this far.
What's your point?
It means I don't know how to give up.
- Giving up... - "Is for losers."
- Did I get it right? - Yes.
That was your line in yesterday's drama.
Tae Woong, stay out of this.
You're looking down on me again.
I'm okay with being treated like that when it's just the two of us.
But you can't treat me the same way...
You can carry on with the lovers' quarrel once I'm gone.
And now that I've declared war, I'll be on my way.
If you don't want to end up getting humiliated,
you better know when to kneel.
"Kneel"?
Did she tell me to kneel?
- Did she really say that? - Yes.
- Calm down. - What am I going to do?
"Kneel"?
You seriously told Ms. Choi to kneel?
Yes, I did. I was right. My plan worked.
She was defenseless...
because I barged in without warning, and she was totally helpless.
Ms. Choi was helpless?
No way.
I'm serious. I said,
"If you don't want to end up getting humiliated..."
I should've added a swear word.
Anyway, when I told her she should know when to kneel,
she looked at me with fear in her eyes.
You should've been there.
Mi Ri.
Why are you living such a reckless life?
It's all or nothing.
Where are you right now?
You should visit if you're not busy.
I'm busy.
No, you're not. I know you don't have a shoot today.
Why are you sullen again?
I'm not sullen.
My plan got ruined,
so I won't be visiting for a while. I'm going to hang up now.
Mi Ri, wait.
What's wrong with you?
Yoon Tae's here.
We need to talk about something, so get over here.
I already set up a new team,
so you and your brother are fired.
Mi Ri.
What did she say?
She apparently set up a new team,
and she's going to fire me and Yoon Tae.
Why couldn't you do a better job?
I should've been there.
I told you he won't make it because he can't drink that well.
Tae Woong got drunk before I did.
I told you not to look down on celebrities.
I used to be a variety show producer.
But Tae Woong's just a fool who can't even use his brain properly.
Even so, he used to be a member of Blue Dragon,
the most famous group in Korea.
Do you think he would've succeeded by doing nothing?
He probably went through all sorts of things to reach that fame.
So why wouldn't he be suspicious when you kept calling him "sir"?
- Gosh, why are you so angry? - My goodness.
Yoon Tae, you called him "sir"?
It's pretty obvious, isn't it?
He totally loved it.
I really should've dug into it a bit more...
when I heard rumors that So Dam and Tae Woong are having an affair.
Who's So Dam?
She used to be Seo Hyung's nanny.
Don't you know about the trainee that went all the way to the States?
Oh, the nanny?
But how do you know her?
Well...
She's my second daughter.
What?
She's your daughter?
Yes.
Come to think of it, both your daughters...
are involved with the Choi family.
Wait a minute. What's that supposed to mean?
His eldest daughter works for Seo Jun as his secretary.
- So Yu? - Goodness.
How do you know the name of his secretary?
Because she caused a fuss at the company.
I can't believe they're both your daughters.
At least they both grew up well.
Then you should meet So Dam.
No, she'll cause trouble if she meets any of the two.
Then I guess I'll cause trouble.
I love trouble.
Honey, wait. Hey...
- You need to ambush her. - Ambush?
The truth comes out when people get ambushed.
Attack her without giving her a warning.
Okay.
- Ms. Ko. - Yes?
I packed a jokbal and bossam set for myself.
Gosh, it's okay. You can take it home for free.
You always do this. Please let me just pay.
Do you want me to pay you for receiving your mom's...
handmade kimchi?
Gosh, Ms. Ko.
I heard she's down with the flu.
Tell her I hope she recovers...
after she eats our food.
Thank you. I'll see you tomorrow.
- Okay, good work. Bye. - Bye.
Hey, Mr. Myung.
You're coming to Korea?
Your daughter's getting engaged?
Of course, I'm free.
But I'm pretty sure...
you won't have time to meet an old lady like me.
VIP customer, my foot.
Okay.
Okay, sure. Bye.
(Seo Kyung)
How did you know that?
I just heard the news over dinner.
But it's not even a proper engagement ceremony.
It's practically just going to be a family meeting.
Did you call to ask me about that?
No.
I just wanted to check up on you.
Oh, okay.
Who was the call from? You don't look too happy.
My aunt.
By the way, free your schedule for the day after tomorrow.
- Seo Jun's getting engaged. - What?
How could Father decide that...
without even discussing it with his son-in-law?
Are you okay?
Gosh.
Hey, wake up.
Stand still.
The day after tomorrow? But that's so sudden.
Didn't Seo Jun tell you anything?
I wanted to ask you about the details.
Why are they rushing things?
Just a second.
Hey, Jong Hwan.
What? Seo Jun?
Okay, I'll be right there.
Is something going on with Seo Jun?
He's apparently very drunk.
Why do they still call you for stuff like this?
Do they think you're his bodyguard or something?
This has to stop.
I'll be right back.
Hey, Jong Hwan.
Se Hyun, I don't think you need to come.
- Why? Did he leave in a cab? - Yes.
Okay, I'll call his family and check.
But I don't think he went home.
What do you mean?
Does he have a friend in Susaek-dong?
He kept asking the cab driver to take him to Susaek-dong.
Susaek-dong?
The only reason you think there's no other way...
is because you're thinking about paying me back.
If you need that money so desperately,
sleep with him if you must to stop their engagement!
So Yu.
Yes?
Why are you so blank? I called you so many times.
So Yu.
What's going on?
So Dam got picked to stand in the center.
You'll be standing in the center? Are you serious?
Yes, they announced...
the final members, center, and leader today.
And I got picked to stand in the center.
That's incredible.
- Right? - I'm so happy for you.
Good job.
Yes, you really wanted to become an idol star.
My daughter's wish has come true.
- Goodness. - Mom.
Good job, So Dam.
Goodness.
Yes, sir.
Sir?
Hello?
Sir.
I have something to tell you.
I'm getting engaged.
I felt like I should tell you beforehand.
Aren't you going to congratulate me?
You're confusing me by looking at me like that.
If you congratulate me...
and tell me...
that you're also planning...
to marry Se Hyun soon, I think I'll feel a lot more...
Congratulations.
I guess you're happy for me.
We fought so many times,
so we kind of grew on each other.
It's cold. You should go back inside.
Can I hug you...
just this once?
I won't be able to hug you once I get engaged.
(Public parking lot)
(Gangnam Scandal)
Just focus on your engagement with Ji Yoon.
Do you think you'll feel at ease once I get engaged?
- Just get engaged. - I get what you mean.
Do you not remember anything from yesterday?
Did I make a mistake?
We're going shopping for tomorrow's engagement ceremony.
- Can you come with us? - Sure. I'll escort you.
She went with them to help them buy their engagement gift?
Call So Yu immediately!
