(Episode 84)
This is the biggest surprise I've given you until now, isn't it?
I actually thought you knew.
What do you mean?
Ms. Hong found out about it before I did, so I thought...
My mom?
My mom knew about your illness?
I guess she's hesitating to tell you...
because she's worried you might get shocked.
What is Alberckros syndrome?
It's pointless.
What?
It's one of the rarest illnesses.
It's apparently really hard to find any information about it...
even if you look through all the medical books.
I already read a few books on autoimmune diseases.
I saw information about the GBS, SJS, Raynaud's phenomenon,
and so many other illnesses I had never even heard of before.
But there was nothing about the Alberckros syndrome.
If it's such a rare illness, it would've been hard to diagnose.
How did you find out? Are you sure about it?
That time when I fainted in the States...
and also when I recently fainted while I was with you...
were both because of anemia.
But anemia is apparently one of the early signs of my illness.
Then my central nervous system will eventually get paralyzed.
Who knows about this?
Ms. Hong told my dad.
My dad told Seo Hyung.
Seo Hyung told Tae Woong.
And So Yu's sister accidentally overheard Seo Hyung speaking.
That's it for now.
Please don't tell So Yu at least until she leaves the country.
Are you not going to tell her?
I'm sure she'll eventually find out.
When?
I want to give her some space...
so that she can solely spend time for herself.
She deserves to live an independent life.
She's done enough nursing and worrying.
I can't make her go through that again.
If So Yu finds out...
I'm scared that she might try to take care of me...
like she's my mom...
just like how she did with her mom.
She already has so much going on in her life.
I can't add onto that and make things worse.
You're empty-handed.
I thought you went outside to buy something.
What's wrong? Is there something going on?
You should've told me...
about Seo Jun's illness.
I was going to.
Were you worried that I might fall weak...
and get in the way of your grand plan?
I didn't tell you because I was worried you might react like this.
I know he's sick, but work is still work.
Mom!
That's a medical report regarding Seo Jun's illness.
We can talk after you read that.
See? They're saying that there's hope.
Seo Jun thinks it's incurable.
That can't be a reason to give up.
I was going to tell you once I got the medical report.
You can criticize me for being a fool for my son.
But I was more worried about you...
than another person's son's incurable illness.
Does Seo Jun know about this?
I didn't want to get his hopes up and then end up disappointing him.
But he still deserves to know...
I'm going to send someone there to find out about the details.
We need to be very careful.
So just keep this to yourself.
I hope this is true.
I'll take care of this issue.
You should just focus on work.
Will you wake up already? Hurry up.
Hurry.
It's not even 7am yet. Why are you waking me up?
We have no time.
No time for what?
He's getting ready to propose to her.
So we need to show her that we're different people now.
We don't have much time left to gain So Yu's favor.
Hurry up and come outside. Hurry!
Staying out of her sight is the best thing we can do for her.
I'm pretty sure she won't eat even if I cook something for her.
Her mom used to be a really good cook,
so we won't be able to impress her with that.
If you were married to a woman who could cook so well,
why did you seduce me?
Why does every conversation lead to that question?
- You're the one who seduced me. - What?
Gosh, I need to go to the bathroom.
My gosh.
Oh, right. Red dates tea.
Her mom used to make fantastic red dates tea.
Where's the kettle?
Red dates. Where are the red dates?
I found the red dates.
Gosh, how am I supposed to make it though?
"How to make red dates tea."
Mom, we have so many other pretty teacups.
But why do you always use that one?
My mom bought me this.
- Grandma? - Yes.
We weren't well off, but she wanted to get me a wedding gift.
So she got me the most expensive one in the market.
Every time I use this teacup,
it makes me feel as if my mom's back alive.
What do you think you're doing?
Why would you even touch someone else's teacup?
I don't think anyone would even take that teacup for free.
I'll get you a new one.
Don't touch my mom's stuff.
You're really odd, you know.
Why did you even let us live here...
if you weren't even going to let us use a kettle?
I'm just trying to make you red dates tea.
Red dates tea?
Who do you think you are to make red dates tea in my mom's kitchen?
Hey, why are you yelling at me?
I know how to make it too.
Don't touch my mom's kettle!
Don't touch anything that's in my mom's kitchen!
So Yu, what's wrong?
It's been a really long time since I decided...
not to expect anything from my dad.
But I guess I was still expecting something from you.
You're a human being, aren't you?
So how... How could you...
How could you...
What is wrong with her?
It's not like I asked her to call me "Mom".
What's the big deal about using this piece of trash?
I didn't even do anything to the kettle.
Are you acting like this because you're about to marry a rich guy?
It doesn't matter what you think of us...
because he's still your dad on the family register.
This person right here is the one who will be...
walking you down the aisle when you get married!
It really was a bad idea to live with her under the same roof.
What should we do?
She'll keep trying to win the executive director's favor.
Should we just take everything back?
If I tell the executive director...
Forget it.
I'll be leaving soon anyway.
Will you be okay?
I don't hate them as much as you do.
And I'm kind of used to them now.
I'm sorry for making you go through all this.
Do I also need to apologize for everything I made you go through?
That was the least I could do as your friend.
What's so different about this? We're mutually friends, you know.
I don't know how I would've lived without you.
Save that kind of love confession for the executive director.
You should get ready for work.
A proposal?
Why are you startled? You have a girlfriend.
Do you really think this is the time for that?
Yes.
You asked me what my wish was, right?
Yes, what's your wish?
My wish is for you to get remarried.
Seo Jun.
We can take time to think about that.
I concur with Father getting remarried.
Who asked for your opinion?
Why do you think the entire family gathers together...
to eat breakfast like this?
It's so that we, as a family, can become more amicable.
But you're not helping by acting like that.
"Acting like that"?
You're acting as if you're the only person with the right to speak.
I mean, she's also the daughter of this family.
But why is it that we're always neglected?
Let's not argue while we're talking about our dad's remarriage.
Seo Jun, go ahead and keep talking.
You're telling him to propose to Jang Mi Ri, right?
Yes.
I'm totally against Jang Mi Ri.
Show me a raise of hands. Who approves of her?
1, 2, 3. Time's over. No one approved.
Now, who disapproves of her?
One...
Who disapproves?
The country's worst actress...
is about to become our stepmother.
Gosh, this is absurd.
Hurry. Raise your hand if you're against the idea.
Come on.
I saw how much they love and care about each other...
when Dad was hospitalized recently.
It's not like you're going to be there for Dad...
when he suddenly wakes up in the middle of the night.
That means you don't have any right to approve or disapprove.
Why not? I'm the eldest daughter of this family.
If I don't have that kind of right, what does that make me?
Seo Hyung, please. It's my wish.
Seo Jun.
Gosh, it's as if he said the magic word.
Does Seo Jun get everything he wants if he tells you that it's his wish?
Seo Jun, what's your secret?
Tell me what your secret is.
What is this nonsense?
If they were going to give me a last minutes script,
they should've at least given me one...
that shows how hard the writer worked on it.
I should be able to connect with the writer.
But how can a last minute script be even worse than the actual one?
Are you sure the writer wrote this?
Yes, of course.
I can tell that she put in a lot of effort to write that script.
Don't you agree?
Yes, I can see that she worked really hard on it.
I mean, what kind of writer makes errors like this?
"She goes to an engagement party."
"Mi Ri wishes to become the dog of the flock."
She wrote "dog" instead of "flower".
Is she trying to say that I should lead a group of dogs?
My gosh.
Why are you glaring at him?
He didn't write the script.
Do you think the writer has dementia or something?
How could she make a mistake writing "the flower of the flock"?
I'm sure it was just a mistake. You should keep reading.
"Mi Ri wishes to become the dog of the flock."
She looks pretty, classy, elegant, graceful,
innocent, sexy, shallow, and refined.
What... What kind of nonsense is this?
The point is that you should dress up nicely.
Yes.
This is infuriating. Gosh, I'm getting so angry.
I mean, she wrote an entire page explaining about the outfit.
There's not a single line on this script.
Hey, is this a prank camera by any chance?
I didn't swear, okay?
I didn't swear, right? Tell me I didn't swear.
It's not a prank camera, Mi Ri.
I can't believe I need to get my makeup and hair done...
just so I can shoot this scene. It's such a waste of money.
I assure you that it won't be a waste.
Plus, how can I be refined and shallow at the same time?
Does she think I'm Baron Ashura or something?
Mi Ri, we already prepared a sexy outfit,
a cute outfit, and an elegant outfit.
Okay, fine. Let me try them on first.
My goodness.
Gosh.
I never even cleaned this place when this used to be mine.
Why do we need to clean?
Because the owner told us to.
He said he's going to check the CCTV. Pick that back up.
The CCTV?
Gosh, isn't that a violation of human rights?
It's apparently a high-tech device...
that used to be in Seo Hyung's house.
He said he can see what we're up to by checking his cell phone.
I wonder where it's installed.
How long is it going to take...
for us to get a house and move out by working here?
Gosh, we have no other choice.
I think it'll be much quicker to please Seo Jun.
I heard he's getting ready to propose.
Did you forget how angry So Yu got this morning?
She threw a fit just because you touched her mom's kettle.
Just because the red dates tea plan didn't work...
doesn't mean I should give up and stop trying.
What are you going to do?
Follow me.
Where are you going? What about the store?
Just put up a sign saying we're closed for the day.
My goodness, Geum Hee...
I'm sorry.
Geum Hee. Geum Hee...
Did you get that?
Yes, of course. I'm a professional when it comes to shooting videos.
Let me see.
(Oh Geum Hee)
My goodness, Geum Hee...
You did a great job.
Gosh, it came out so nicely.
I should've kept acting.
- Did you also take a photo? - Yes, of course.
It's your turn now.
- Me? - Here. Use this to fake your tears.
But I'm not even an actor. I can't pretend to cry.
Even if this part-time job is worth millions of dollars?
Millions of dollars?
If So Yu sees this and decides to make amends with us,
the heir of LX Group will eventually become our son-in-law.
I don't think she'll forgive us just because we do this.
That doesn't mean we should sit back and do nothing.
We need to do everything we can.
Hurry up and put the eye drops in your eyes.
Put it in a lot.
- Great. - I'm... I'm done.
Start getting emotional.
Wait.
Okay.
I want you to frown a little.
No, don't grab your nose. I want you to frown.
There we go.
Okay, great. A little more.
More.
Excuse me.
(Please be silent.)
Okay.
Chae Young told me...
that the chairman's planning to propose to Mi Ri.
Yes.
Mi Ri will be so happy.
She waited so long for him to propose to her.
He's going to propose at our place. You should also come.
I can't go there.
I don't want the chairman to get angry on a happy day.
He already said you could come.
He said I could come?
He said he needs you to help him with the proposal.
Did he really give you permission to bring me along?
Yes.
Please prepare an outfit for me.
Are you going to go outside?
Get me a suit that's nice and clean.
Okay.
I want you to propose to the woman you love,
and I want me and So Yu to feel warm at heart by seeing you do that.
She'll feel scared to come over to our house.
She got on her knees and got scolded...
at this house, and I want to help her get rid of that memory.
Don't show any signs that I'm ill,
and give her a warm and bright welcome.
It's my last wish.
Don't say the word, "last".
If you say that, I'm not going to do this.
Okay, fine.
I take it back.
And here.
You should write what you want to say to her.
This is a sample.
Someone proposed like this in a movie.
And apparently, it's the kind of proposal that Mi Ri wants to get.
Use this as reference to come up with your own lines.
I also printed some photos of her from the web.
How do I look?
Do I look shallow, refined, innocent, and sexy?
You look totally shallow.
Do you even know what "shallow" means?
Doesn't it mean that you're as beautiful as a fairy?
The kind of beauty that's retrained. Isn't that what it is?
Did you always sleep in school?
How did you know?
I had to massage my grandma's arms and legs every night.
I could never study because I never had enough time to even sleep.
So are you saying your grandmother makes great ongsimi balls...
because you always used to massage her arms and legs?
No wonder you're the grandson of a famous restaurant owner.
My goodness.
That's not what's important right now.
Mi Ri, would you like a sedative or something?
Why would I want a sedative?
Because it's an important scene.
It's not even my engagement party. My character will be...
attending the party as a guest. It's not an important scene.
We should get going. Let's go.
Where are we shooting again?
- Dam-dong. - What?
- Dam-dong. - Gosh, will you speak properly?
Cheongdam-dong.
- Cheongdam-dong? - Yes.
- That's where Jin Bok lives. - Yes.
Should we drop by after we're done with the shoot?
Let's talk about it once you're done shooting. Let's go.
- Okay. - Yes.
Seo Jun, what's the matter with you? Dad's not feeling well.
I'm sorry to say this, but can you please leave?
You shouldn't be here when our dad's sick.
Dad.
Welcome. Please take a seat.
What are you doing? Bring our guest some tea.
Okay.
Thank you for helping me out with this...
even after all that you've been through until now.
It's Jang Mi Ri, sir.
You can let her in.
I thought we had to go to a shoot. Why did you bring me here?
So Yu.
Seo Jun, you're here too.
Jin Bok, are you going somewhere?
You should sit down.
Here.
(People say...)
People...
say...
that...
this used to be your heyday.
(But to me, you're always incredible.)
But to me, you're always incredible.
You took on...
so many roles for the past 30 years.
But you are...
(But you're most beautiful as Jang Mi Ri yourself.)
You're most beautiful as Jang Mi Ri yourself.
(But you're most beautiful as Jang Mi Ri yourself.)
Jin Bok.
Don't cry. Your makeup will smudge.
Did you guys plan all this?
Tae Bok.
It's not over yet.
There we go. Okay.
Sir.
Choose a card and give it to Mi Ri.
If you choose a heart, that means you guys are meant to be.
It's a heart!
- Jin Bok. - This proves...
that you two are destined for each other.
Let's give them a round of applause.
- Wait. - Yes?
They're all hearts, aren't they?
No, they're not. My gosh.
Get over here. Come over here.
I'd like to thank everyone...
for what you did today.
Eat up.
The housekeeper is a little mean, but she's a great cook.
Eat up, you guys.
- Okay. - Okay.
Please call me Ms. Do.
Yes, okay. Ms. Do.
Eat up.
Jin Bok, are you crying?
Why are you crying on such a happy day?
Because I'm happy.
I'm crying because I'm so happy.
Let's eat.
Jin Bok.
No, I'll go.
What a nice room.
- Come here for a minute. - Why?
What is it?
That was my heyday.
All the kids' moms asked me to take a photo with them.
Moms do tend to like kids who look like you.
What?
Moms like it when kids have distinct facial features...
and really thick eyebrows.
You liked it too.
Who says I liked it?
You've never lived alone, have you?
No.
I'm worried. I can't even speak English that well.
It's better to use body language than to use poor English.
So don't get too scared.
I'll trust that this will help me get by.
I love you.
Do you want to hear that in French?
How about Latin? Or Spanish?
Wait.
I hope you have a safe trip.
Okay.
What do you mean So Yu isn't here?
She told us the wrong departure time...
and left all by herself because she didn't want us to see her off.
She left a letter.
Hey, Chae Young. I'll only be gone for two months.
So it felt embarrassing to make a fuss about leaving.
I'll leave as if I'll be back tomorrow.
I hope you take good care of So Dam.
I can't believe she did this.
Does that mean she already left?
I got stomach cramps in the middle of the night.
So I don't think I can see you off.
I hope you have a safe trip.
Does your stomach feel better now?
I just finished going through the departure procedure.
Now, I'm about to go in.
I'll call you once I'm there.
So Yu!
(Gangnam Scandal)
Did you not know? LX Group took over your dad's company.
- She said you did it. - Baek Hee said that?
- Seo Jun doesn't look well. - Call Doctor Kang.
Seo Jun, wake up.
Why did you tell me that Seo Jun wanted...
to send So Yu abroad?
- What? - Mom!
- Don't yell at me! - Why do you hate So Yu so much?
Are you telling me that you're going to start over with So Yu?
