Alberckros syndrome?
What... What's that?
It's an immune system disorder. You probably never heard of it before.
It's my first time dealing with a patient that has the disorder.
Does that mean there's also a possibility that you might be wrong?
So I checked multiple times,
but it seems like he does have the disorder.
Can it still be treated?
No one's been fully healed from it yet.
Then... Then are you saying it's an incurable disease?
Yes.
How long can he live?
Every patient is different.
But normally, it lasts from six months to a year.
Shouldn't I also tell the patient himself?
Oh, right.
Let me talk to the chairman first.
I shouldn't reveal this right away.
I can't believe Seo Jun's going to disappear.
The skies must be helping me.
Once Choi Jin Bok finds out that Seo Jun has...
an incurable illness, he'll practically go nuts.
And I should use that chance to...
Oh, right. Bang Yoon Tae.
- Ms. Yoon. - Yes?
It's been ages since I told you to find a way...
to get rid of Yoon Tae. Why haven't you reported to me yet?
Just a second, ma'am.
You should listen to this.
Do you have nothing better to do?
How dare you threaten her with her weakness?
What about her?
How could a married woman cheat on her husband?
I'll be the one to scold and discipline her.
So stay away from Seo Kyung.
If you want me to back off, you have to give me money first.
So his current wife is cheating on him...
and his ex-wife is using that to threaten his current wife?
My goodness, how reckless.
I want you to make this into a rumor and start spreading it.
Yes, ma'am.
I need to make the board of directors get sick and tired...
of the Choi family including Seo Jun, Seo Hyung, and Seo Kyung.
Ms. Hong, what's the matter?
You need to tell me what's going on.
Sir.
Will you say something?
To be honest, a few days ago, Seo Jun...
Yes, what about him?
He...
fainted while he was with Se Hyun.
What? Seo Jun fainted?
But the doctor asked him to get an in-depth medical checkup,
and it turns out...
Yes? How did it turn out?
He got diagnosed with an incurable illness...
called Alberckros syndrome.
What?
An incurable illness?
Who? Seo Jun?
Alber... What?
What... What kind of an illness is that?
I've never heard of anyone dying because of an illness like that.
That's nonsense.
This is totally absurd.
What kind of... My gosh. I want him to switch hospitals.
What was it called again? Alber... What?
What a joke.
What's the name of the doctor?
Tell them to fire him immediately.
How dare he diagnose my son with an illness I've never heard of before?
Does he not know who Seo Jun is? Does he not know how precious he is?
Seo Jun...
Sir.
Stop crying! There's no need to cry!
Seo Jun isn't going to die! He's my son!
I'm sure it was a misdiagnosis.
Ask him to check again.
Ask him to check a thousand more times if he has to.
No.
Seo Jun can't have that illness. No, it can't be!
No! There's no way! There's no way Seo Jun has that illness.
- Sir. - That's impossible.
Why? Why does it have to be Seo Jun?
It's a vague relationship, but it's not so bad, right?
Did it upset you that much when I said that?
Why do you keep bringing that up?
If you didn't add that you think our time together is precious,
I might've even cried.
You must be happy that your hand is your weapon.
What?
When are you going to use an even stronger weapon?
An even stronger weapon?
A kiss.
My goodness.
I don't know how I should tell this to Seo Jun.
If you can't tell him, I'll tell him myself.
No.
Don't tell him yet.
- Pardon? - I'm not in a rush...
to make his life miserable.
I want to see him smile...
for a few more days.
It's not like his illness is something...
they can treat anyway.
Okay, sir.
Search for a doctor all over the world...
who can cure his illness.
I don't care how much it will cost.
Yes, sir.
What's this?
It's what every famous person ends up experiencing at least once.
It's a tabloid rumor, sir.
Is this "B from L Group" supposed to be me?
The ex-wife, P, is Ms. Baek Choon Mi.
The ex-husband, B, is you.
And the wife, C, who's having an affair is Ms. Choi Seo Kyung.
It even states that she's cheating with a golf coach.
This is about you without a doubt.
Who reported this?
Seeing that the board of directors also know about it,
I think it was Ms. Hong...
She attacked Seo Hyung with the surrogacy.
And now, she's going to attack me with my wife's adultery?
Director Hong's rivals are slowly getting removed.
The only person that's left is Executive Director Choi...
Do you think I'm dead?
I'm your boss.
You should try to come up with a way to save me.
But you're standing there telling me that Seo Jun is the only one left?
I'm sorry, sir.
Find who started this rumor and bring that person to me.
That person's probably already in Vietnam or the Philippines.
That's what Ms. Hong always does.
Gosh.
Se Hyun!
What's going on?
You're a guy with a grand plan...
to split the group for your own benefit.
So I'm sure you this isn't satisfying for you.
What's the matter?
Did your mom tell you to put on a show like this?
Mr. Bang!
Did you just yell at me?
Let's talk outside.
Why talk outside?
Everyone in the company needs to know...
how foul you and your mom are.
Your mom always does things behind people's backs.
But make sure you tell her that this time,
I'm not going to let her get away with what she did.
Let's see for how long you'll be able to act up...
with your mom behind your back.
Tell your mom...
that she won't be able to destroy me...
by fabricating tabloid rumors behind my back.
Fabricating tabloid rumors?
This is your problem.
You always hide behind your mom's back...
and act like you don't know anything.
You can keep acting like the crown prince.
But you'll eventually have to pay...
for all the trouble that your mom caused.
- You filthy jerk. - Mr. Bang.
If you want to live, you should escape from your mom's shadow,
you mama's boy.
Mommy! Mommy!
I can't live without my mommy
What?
Mama's boy?
Yoon Tae called Se Hyun...
a mama's boy in front of all his employees?
Die, you brat! Just die! Let's both die together!
Let's go to your mom's grave and die there together!
Die! Die!
Why would you die...
for having committed adultery at this time and age?
- You brat! - My goodness.
You little maggot!
How dare you push your ex-husband into a sewer...
just so you could get money out of it?
Gosh, that hurts.
Let me go.
She's leaving. Hey!
Ma'am.
No good will come from messing with my temper.
Things got out of hand because you made me get angry last time.
If you just did what I asked back then,
things wouldn't have come this far.
What is it that you want?
Gosh, you know what I want.
Delete the video!
Sure. Once you wire the money.
The moment anyone else gets their hands on this video,
I will kill you.
Once you wire the money, I'll be leaving the country soon.
I can't even breathe here properly because of all the fine dust.
Raise your shoulder a bit. Okay, go ahead.
Hey.
You jerk.
How could you do this to me?
How? How?
How could you do this? How?
Are you crazy?
This is my workplace. You can't do this to me here.
Did you seduce me so that you could take a video...
and give it to Baek Choon Mi?
You saw that?
Are you seriously asking me that?
Will you please calm down?
I was threatened as well.
She threatened me and asked me to send her...
a topless photo of you.
I'm sorry.
I'll be better to you.
I really mean it.
Gosh, he won't be able to breathe.
We should make him pay for sleeping here.
He's only lying there because there aren't any customers.
She's right. We can't ask him to pay money.
A sushi restaurant opened up nearby.
You should treat us to sushi instead.
I'd rather pay for lodging expenses.
I'll be having an appointment.
You'll be having an appointment? What's that even supposed to mean?
(Jin Bok)
Who are you calling? The chairman?
Does he run over to you immediately if you call him...
even when you didn't agree to meet each other beforehand?
You'll find out.
I wonder if he's in a meeting.
Just wait and see. He'll call me back soon.
(Cheongung Medical)
I'm hungry.
How long are you going to wait for him to call back?
It's been an hour already. That means you got rejected.
Let's go eat.
Let's just go by ourselves.
I think I'm low on sugar.
Will you just wait?
He'll call no matter what.
(Mi Ri)
Are those flowers for me?
You opened your restaurant today.
Why didn't you send out invitations for an opening ceremony?
I didn't want the press to come here.
I'm going to compete quietly by making delicious food.
A legendary pizza joint where people can't help but visit again.
So Dam, congratulations.
So Yu sent you this.
She's working right now, so she said she'll be here tonight.
I told you not to wear a hat.
What's wrong with you?
If you keep doing this, I'm never going to come here again.
The best way to deal with a scandal is to confront it face to face.
That depends on what kind of scandal it is.
Tae Woong.
Congratulations on your grand opening.
How did you know?
I contacted your fans from your fan site and told them.
There are people who are going to come after they get off work,
so you should get ready.
Please take a seat.
What would you like to order?
Fresh pizza that's made with fresh ingredients...
as soon as a customer makes an order.
Hamburger steak that's nice and juicy.
You can taste both menus at once...
if you order the Mo Tae Woong set.
Have a look and make your order.
I can't believe they really left.
Hey, Dad. Hear me out.
I didn't make Mi Ri fall on purpose.
I was just trying to shake off...
Dad, do you have a cold?
What's wrong with your voice?
Dad.
No!
No way.
Dad, it's not true, right?
Dad, tell me it's not true.
You're just trying to scare me, right?
No! Please tell me that it's not true!
He won't be able to live for very long.
Dad.
How...
How can this happen to Seo Jun?
Let's take him to the States.
I'm sure they can treat him there.
How can anything be incurable in this day and age?
Let's... Let's take Seo Jun to the States immediately.
It's a rare disease.
It can't be cured...
anywhere in the world regardless of how much money we're willing to pay.
So what?
Are you saying we should just give up?
Dad.
We can't give up on him.
Can you live without him?
I can't... I can't live without him either.
Dad.
Where's Seo Jun right now?
He doesn't know yet.
What?
Then how did you find out?
Ms. Hong met his doctor.
And he apparently checked numerous times.
Then what are we going to do?
Are you saying we should just...
watch him die like this?
I can't... I can't do that.
I can never do that.
That's why...
That's why I'm telling you before anyone else.
You need to stay strong in order for Seo Jun to stay strong.
You're the only person I can talk about this to.
I'm...
I'm wondering if your mom's taking him away from me...
because she got jealous that I might get remarried.
I'm so scared right now.
Dad. Dad.
What are we going to do?
What are we going to do about Seo Jun?
Here's the menu you ordered.
- Thank you. - Enjoy.
Hey, Seo Jun.
I'm sorry. There aren't any seats.
Hey, you're here.
- Who ordered the Gorgonzola pizza? - I did.
- I hope you enjoy. - Thank you.
Isn't the pasta so delicious?
- We'd like one more carbonara. - A carbonara?
Tae Woong, another dish of carbonara, please.
One more carbonara.
So Dam's really busy.
Where is she? Is she in the kitchen?
I need help cleaning the tables.
But do you not do stuff like that since you're the crown prince?
I'm not a crown prince.
I even once washed seaweed, you know.
Then you can be in charge of cleaning the tables.
Okay.
Hey, Seo Hyung. I'm busy right now. I'll call you later.
Okay, then.
He hung up saying he's busy.
He's busy?
I'm sure he got off work already.
He sounded really excited. I think he's with So Yu.
So Yu?
I told you that he seems to be in love.
Ever since he came back from the ski resort,
I always find him smiling like a fool.
Seo Jun always had a smile on his face.
It's different from his usual smile.
I can tell that he's smiling because he's in love.
You didn't even eat that much. Will you be okay drinking?
I just can't tell you this in a sober state.
You asked me what it was that I had to go through.
I know you started...
asking yourself this ever since you became mature.
"Who is my dad?"
You used to ask me about your dad very frequently when you were young.
But you suddenly stopped asking...
when you became a middle school student.
Can I ask you why?
You would always drink every time I asked you...
about my dad.
And it hurt me to see you go to work the next day with a hangover.
Do you know why I can't give up on LX Group?
You also probably think it's because of my greed.
To be honest, it's because I feel guilty toward your dad.
Your dad died because of me.
What do you mean?
He died because of you?
I'm worried that you might not...
be able to face Chairman Choi after I tell you...
this embarrassing story.
People think Chairman Choi's building...
was where LX Group's business started out.
But it actually all began from your grandfather's...
textile factory.
Your dad inherited the family business at a young age,
so he tried his best to make ends meet.
And things started going sour when he let Chairman Choi invest.
Chairman Choi's shares started increasing,
and your dad started losing power in the company.
That's when...
I began working at LX Group.
Chairman Choi always took me with him every time he had...
an important meeting or a business trip.
- What about Dad? - He couldn't stand...
that Chairman Choi and I were the ones managing the company.
But we loved each other very dearly,
and we had even set a wedding date.
But...
Chairman Choi got really drunk on a business trip one day,
and I thought he wanted me to give him a business report.
But when I got to my senses and came out of his hotel room,
the buttons on my blouse were all gone,
my lips were bleeding,
and my legs were shaking.
I cried all night...
in that hotel lobby.
Chairman Choi doesn't even remember what happened that night.
The next day,
he smiled and told me he had completely blacked out.
But your dad heard what happened...
from an employee who also went on that business trip,
and he asked me if it was true.
When I told him "yes",
he suddenly ran outside...
It was a car accident.
I don't know if he jumped in front of a car or if it was an accident.
Your dad's the only person who will ever know the truth.
Your dad lost LX Group only because he didn't have money,
and I never once thought of the Choi family as the owner.
LX Group is yours, Se Hyun.
How...
How did you manage to work for Chairman Choi for this long?
How in the world was that possible?
I...
I waited for you to grow up.
I waited...
until you could resolve...
my resentment.
I told you that you could leave after you dropped me off.
Why did you park your car so far away?
If I just left, I wouldn't have been able to do this.
- You should go now. - I'll go once I see you go inside.
See you tomorrow.
What are you doing there?
What's going on? Are you drinking alone?
What is it? Is there something wrong?
Wait here. I'll bring myself a glass.
No, I'm not going to drink anymore.
You shouldn't drink either.
I thought you loved drinking with me more than anything in this world.
What's the matter?
Now that I've had a couple drinks,
I'm suddenly reminded of your mom.
Do you feel sorry about wanting to get remarried...
to Ms. Jang?
Mom wants you to get remarried...
and live a happy life.
How do you know that?
It's natural that I know. Half of my genes are from her.
Yes, you're right. You take after your mom very much.
You never hate anyone,
and you always think positively.
Why are you being like this all of a sudden?
Seo Jun.
Is there anything you want to do?
Something I want to do?
Yes, tell me.
What is it?
I want to get married.
You want to get married?
I want to live with So Yu in the same house.
I just came back from dropping her off.
And I felt really frustrated.
You felt frustrated?
Because I wanted to follow her inside.
You can see the stairway to So Yu's place from outside.
And every time I see her walk up the stairs,
I want to carry her up to her place myself.
Today, she even turned around while she was climbing the stairs.
Today's the first time she ever did that.
Really?
I can see that you're no longer calling her "So Yu, that brat".
Can I marry her?
I'm eventually going to marry her even if you disapprove.
So can you just let me marry her since it's going to happen anyway?
You said you long for grandchildren.
If you let me get married, I'll really try my best.
Actually, I won't even have to try. It'll come naturally.
Think about...
being surrounded by your grandchildren...
and running around trying to catch them.
What's wrong, Dad?
The thought of having grandchildren...
made me get overwhelmed.
Seo Jun, well...
If I approve, will you get married?
Of course.
Then go ahead.
What? What did you just say?
You can marry her...
if that's what you want.
Dad.
(Gangnam Scandal)
It won't be fun to just ask her.
I should surprise her with a proposal.
Are you really going to let them get married?
We don't have time. They should get married and have children.
You should still tell her about Seo Jun's illness.
What good will that do? I'm going to make sure Seo Jun has kids.
Don't take what I told you yesterday too seriously.
- I'm going to take it seriously. - Se Hyun.
I'll help you resolve your resentment.
It seems like you're ready to rebel.
You'll have to be well-prepared.
