I thought about how I should propose to you.
And I figured it'd be best to propose in front of my mom.
Will you...
marry me?
I thought long and hard about how I should propose to you.
And I figured it'd be best to propose in front of your mother.
Will you marry me?
I don't think...
your mother will approve.
Sir.
Can you ask me again...
when I can confidently promise your mother...
that I'll live a happy life with you for a long time?
I didn't expect you to say "yes" right away.
Thank you.
I'll be grateful for this forever.
(Episode 88)
Not a lot of guys get to receive a marriage proposal...
from the woman they love.
Am I getting a benefit for being sick?
You said you'll give me a free pass to use you however I want.
Doesn't that mean I can do things my way?
I'll give that back to you...
once I get better.
Do you know what I regretted the most...
after my mom passed away?
I regretted all the things...
I promised myself I'll do...
once my mom got better.
I kept telling myself, "Once my mom gets better."
I should've just done everything without postponing them.
I should've gone on a trip with her...
and bought her nice clothes.
She also wanted to get a new refrigerator.
I should've gotten that for her as well.
I should've done...
all the things I could've done with her while she was still alive.
You told me that you care more about the present.
And right now,
I want to be by your side for as long as I can.
So Yu.
Now, I finally realize...
what a terrible thing this illness is.
Here's your food.
Enjoy.
Chae Young, let's go back to our store now.
How is that our store?
It belongs to you and Mi Ri.
What's mine is yours.
I skipped the promotion and became a CEO right away.
- Am I still not good enough? - I don't know.
You should just go alone.
So Yu promised to come.
How can I leave you here all by yourself?
Are you guys a couple already?
No, we're not.
Stop talking nonsense and just leave.
- Let's go together. - Hurry.
We are a couple.
You proposed?
You proposed to the executive director?
- Yes. - Are you crazy, So Yu?
You're going to marry someone...
who might die soon?
No, I can't let you do that.
What did he say? Did he say "yes"?
No.
I got rejected.
Of course. It's just absurd.
I know it's absurd.
But to us, each minute is as precious as one day...
No, it's as precious as one year.
And I don't want to spend time apart worrying about him.
What if he ends up dying?
We never even thought of that when Mom was sick.
We only trusted that she'll get better.
And that's exactly how I think right now.
I'm not even thinking about the worst case scenario.
So Yu, you should just focus on your career...
and go on dates with him whenever he's feeling okay.
You'll end up becoming a widow...
I'm sorry.
But your mom would've fainted if she was still alive.
What's this? Is it a special day today?
There's cake, flowers, and champagne.
Hello.
What are you doing here?
Because I live here now.
Are you drunk?
- Let's all sit down. - Yes, Father.
What should I say to welcome you?
- "Congratulations on moving in"? - Yes, that sounds nice.
Or you could congratulate me on living together with your dad.
Live together? Are you crazy?
Who says you can live with my dad?
I'm already living with him.
What is she saying, Dad?
Dad, have you started living with this woman?
Don't call her "this woman".
You should watch your language. She's a member of our family now.
Who? This woman right here?
Don't talk nonsense.
You really are reacting exactly the way I expected you to react.
How could you do something like this if you knew how I'd react?
My dad's over 70 right now, and you're going to do what?
You're going to start living with him?
People will laugh at you.
Who cares if people laugh at us?
What matters is that we're happy.
What? Are you serious?
Dad.
You always told us to be careful not to get involved...
with gold-diggers and gigolos.
But you've become head over heels for a gold-digger yourself.
Have you become weak and lost your mind...
because she keeps calling you "honey" with that nasal tone?
Hey, let's be honest. I'm the one...
who's acting out of the norm.
I moved into this house just to live with a guy who's over 70...
without even registering our marriage.
Don't you think I have such a pure soul?
You're just like Jang Hui Bin trying to seduce King Sukjong.
You probably have a huge dream of gobbling up little bits...
of my dad's fortune every single day.
Seo Hyung, stop it.
She decided to move in because of me.
What?
She wanted to stay by Dad's side so she could console him.
She made a tough decision.
Tough decision, my foot.
She's been trying to covet Dad every time she got the chance.
Seo Hyung, shut your mouth.
I know you don't like her, but you shouldn't cross the line.
Dad, you promised that you won't get remarried without my permission.
Seo Hyung, can't you just let Dad do what he wants?
She's right, Seo Hyung.
He's already going through a hard time.
It'd be nice if she could stay by his side and cheer him up.
It's not like they're little kids.
If you add both their ages together, it'll add up to about 120.
Or 130?
I'm sorry, Seo Hyung.
I know we should've discussed this with you beforehand,
but I just felt so impatient.
I didn't want Dad to feel lonely.
Okay, fine. I guess I'm the bad wench.
You all care so much about Dad,
but I can't understand him because I'm so selfish.
I guess everything will be fine if I leave.
I will never set foot in this house...
as long as she's here.
Seo Hyung, can we talk?
Please, let's talk.
My goodness.
What do you think you're doing?
- Seo Hyung... - Just let her go.
(Monte Pizza)
If you make a mess again, I'm going to report you to the cops.
You said I wouldn't be able to raise Eun Byeol, didn't you?
Why don't you see for yourself if I can raise her or not?
Eun Byeol has a cold.
Just let So Dam take care of her.
I'm Eun Byeol's mom.
It's me, not her.
She should be with her mom if she's sick.
Why should I leave my baby with her?
Have you ever even been...
a proper mom to her?
What's the big deal about being a mom?
I just need to feed her, put clothes on for her, and put her to sleep.
Do you think I won't be able to do it?
Are you going to make the housekeeper do everything...
and have fun with Eun Byeol only when she's in a good mood?
I'm going to raise her myself without the housekeeper's help.
Eun Byeol's the only person...
who will love me unconditionally and not make me feel lonely.
I don't need anyone else.
If you bring Eun Byeol out here again,
I'll report you to the cops as a kidnapper.
Let's go.
Ms. Choi.
You need to cover her with this. It's still cold outside.
Ms. Choi.
Why is she suddenly so obsessed with Eun Byeol?
She's driving me crazy.
Stop making her cry and just let So Dam look after her.
I'll try to put her to sleep.
My gosh, will you guys just leave?
Eun Byeol needs to know that I'm her mom.
You have nothing to do with that brat over there, okay?
I'm your mom.
I, Choi Seo Hyung, am your mother.
Do you understand?
My gosh, give her to me.
- My gosh. - Go away.
- Hey. - So Dam, take her.
My goodness.
Are you crazy?
Gosh, will you just stay still?
Hey!
Let me go!
- Get out of my way! - My gosh.
- Gosh, seriously. - My gosh.
So Dam.
My gosh!
How can you still call yourself a mom?
You're practically kicking your own daughter...
who's having trouble sleeping right now.
So Dam, open the door!
Open the door!
Darn it!
You really are incorrigible!
Gosh!
What? Incorrigible?
Mr. Choi, are you done fabricating the test results?
Yes.
Se Hyun and Seo Jun might check.
So it can't be complete rubbish.
I borrowed an actual thesis from a seminar...
and just changed the name of the illness.
How?
If the executive director or your son asks about this,
tell them that "S syndrome" is a term that generally refers...
to immune disorders like the Alberckros syndrome.
Okay, I'll show this to him tomorrow...
and ask him to invest in the research one last time.
Then Choi Jin Bok will become powerless.
He's getting robbed without even knowing about it.
I wonder how he can be so oblivious.
I just don't get it.
It took me 30 years to get him to trust me this much.
Let's wrap up and go for a drink.
A day like this calls for a drink.
- Ms. Nam, tell Mr. Kang to join us. - Okay, ma'am.
I hope your hatred and resentment toward me...
will make you feel mortified until the day you die.
That's your punishment for having coveted my son.
Se Hyun.
I'm... I'm really upset.
Even if everyone ends up accusing me,
shouldn't you be the one to step up and deny that?
You're the one and only person that can trust me.
But you're interrogating me like I'm some kind of a criminal.
I might as well just bite my tongue and die right here.
How could you do this to me?
How could you treat me like this?
How did you make this in one day?
That's how competent Mr. Choi is.
He's the treasure of our team.
You can drink until you get wasted tonight.
Yes, ma'am.
I think I'm about to cry.
Finally! Your era is about to come!
Mr. Ko, stop trying to touch me.
You're making me want to give you a bonus.
- A bonus? - A bonus?
- Bonus, bonus! - Bonus, bonus!
What do you want me to do?
What?
Do you want me to reveal all my mom's bad deeds...
and then get on my knees and apologize?
Your mom already did that.
She did?
She got scared that I might tell you.
So she did that to keep me quiet.
Back then, I thought she really meant it.
She got on her knees and cried as she begged me for forgiveness.
My mom did that?
You're the only person that can make your mom atone for what she did.
But I'm not quite sure how.
I'm scared to even start.
I'm scared to face all the terrible things that might happen.
But I'm the only one...
that can do that, right?
There was a time...
when I hoped that you'd find out...
even if I didn't tell you anything.
- If you told me back then... - I felt like...
my entire body was going to burst because I was so angry.
But I did my best to keep quiet for your sake.
You had so many chances to tell me the truth.
That's what I wanted to do,
but I just couldn't.
- Because of that, we had to... - It's all in the past now.
But now that she says...
she's trying to find a cure for the executive director,
and it makes me want to trust her one last time.
I promised myself that I'll never get involved with her again,
but I'm asking her for help again without even knowing about it.
I thought your mom kept bothering me for no reason.
But I was the one who was clinging onto her...
because I wanted to save my mom.
You can't forgive my mom, can you?
No.
If...
I cut ties with my mom,
will you come back to me?
I don't know what's true and what's false.
I feel like my entire life will disappear...
the moment I start digging into this.
Let's just forget about the past, Se Hyun.
What?
You should just protect her and make sure...
she doesn't repeat what she did again.
After all, she's your mom.
You want me to believe that you're here to thank me?
I showed the video to all the board members,
and they all insisted on holding another board meeting.
You could've just called me.
Why did you bother coming all the way here?
I didn't want to stay home.
I'm sick of watching Seo Kyung apply cream on her neck...
acting as if nothing ever happened between us.
And I can't stand watching my father-in-law act...
like he's a newlywed with a woman who's 20 years younger than him.
I'm so sick of everyone in my family.
But you can't even get divorced...
because you want to become the chairman.
Just wait until I become the chairman.
I'm going to get rid of everyone.
I'll show them what this human tsunami can do.
- You're already drinking. - Yes.
- I brought some food. - That's great.
You also have a guest.
Hey.
Did you give him your hotel key?
- Why didn't you give me one? - Are you being jealous?
What are you talking about?
Thanks.
You can't hold your liquor, can you?
What are you saying? I know very well how to hold my liquor.
You don't seem like it though.
Nerds like him think they can be obstinate with alcohol.
- Really? - That's why they black out easily.
I never blacked out during my entire life.
I'm Bang Yoon Tae.
I'm the top student of Baekju High School.
My grandfather told my dad...
to take very good care of me...
as he passed away.
I'm the pillar of the Bang family.
You're all dead.
Once I become the chairman, I'm going to kill you all.
- My gosh. - Just die.
How did you end up marrying a guy like that?
He wasn't that bad back in the past.
I'm Bang Yoon Tae.
Hey, let me go. Let go of me.
Hey, don't touch me. My gosh.
- Let me go! - Goodness.
My gosh.
What are you doing?
Seo Kyung.
How can you sleep?
How can you sleep after hurting my pride like this?
If you can't forgive me, let's just get a divorce.
If you want a divorce,
let me become the chairman first.
That again?
You should become the chairman on your own.
Why are you asking me for help?
You wouldn't care even if I kiss another woman...
in front of you, would you?
I also thought I'd be fine.
But I was wrong.
I can't go to sleep when I'm sober.
Every time I close my eyes,
I keep seeing you and that jerk kissing each other.
So I just can't go to bed.
But you're suggesting that we should get a divorce?
Do you think everything will be fine if we get a divorce?
You completely broke my heart.
You'll be fine once we get a divorce.
But what about me?
What's going to happen to me?
What about me?
I'm Bang Yoon Tae.
Okay? That's who I am.
What brings you here so early?
I have good news for you.
Is it about the medicine?
Yes, sir.
Here are the recent lab results.
Take a look at the graph right here.
This?
Yes, take a look at the red line.
That shows the level of inflammation.
And as you can see,
the injection made the inflammation level decrease drastically.
Apparently, it's the clearest result they ever got.
I sent someone to Switzerland...
and had him send the email to me himself.
We'll be able to get the medicine soon.
Really?
Does that mean Seo Jun can live now?
What?
What do you mean Seo Jun can live?
Mi Ri, why are you coming out from the chairman's room?
Ms. Hong, didn't you hear?
We started living together.
You're... You're living together?
That's not important right now.
What do you mean Seo Jun can live?
Let me see. What's this?
It's all in English.
What is this, and how can it save Seo Jun's life?
They're lab results regarding his medicine,
and apparently, the results came out great.
Really? Does that mean Seo Jun can live now?
It's too early to give him a definite answer.
But there's still a high possibility.
Well, yes.
I shouldn't just be sitting here like this.
- Seo Jun! - No, wait.
You shouldn't tell him yet.
Why not?
We need to tell him the good news to make him cheer up.
They're still in the process of conducting the experiment.
And they said they need us to invest in their research...
in order to proceed with the development.
What do you mean...
we need to invest in their research?
I'll tell you once things become more definite.
Seo Jun, look.
There are the lab results regarding the development of your medicine.
You studied abroad, right?
It's all in English. Go ahead and read it.
This says nothing about the Alberckros syndrome.
It keeps talking about the "S syndrome".
That's a general term that refers...
to all the immune disorders including the Alberckros syndrome.
If this is true,
it means they succeeded in developing the medicine.
That's right.
Are you serious?
Yes.
Can you trust me and wait a little more?
Ms. Hong, thank you so much.
You really are a savior.
Thank you.
Come to my office as soon as you see this text.
I have something to tell you.
What do you need to tell me?
You must've given me luck...
by proposing to me yesterday.
"Luck"?
I think...
I might be able to stay by your side for a really long time.
What do you mean?
Ms. Hong came over this morning and brought the recent lab results.
And it was the most promising result they ever had.
They're even going to send me the medicine soon.
Really? Are you serious?
I'm so relieved.
That's such a relief.
Where are the rings? The rings.
The rings?
They're inside my bag in the office.
Oh, right. I have them too.
(Executive Director, Choi Seo Jun)
You want to do it here?
Should we not?
I'm not sure.
Should we just go to your mom?
Now?
I have to go to a meeting soon.
What? Am I less important than a meeting?
Give me your hand.
My hand?
There.
I'll see you after the meeting.
She must've been a general in her past life.
That was quick.
So Yu.
Did something good happen?
I heard about the lab results.
What lab results?
Haven't you heard?
Ms. Hong apparently came running to the chairman's house this morning.
- My mom? - Yes.
They were the most promising results they ever had,
and apparently, they'll be sending the medicine soon.
That's great. I'm so glad.
I need to go to a meeting.
Okay, you should go.
I ran into her this morning.
Why didn't she say anything to me?
It's a list of board members...
that agreed to recommend you as the next chairman...
instead of Bang Yoon Tae.
Why are you doing this to me?
I'm so sick of the Choi family.
Hong Baek Hee and Hong Se Hyun were also involved...
in fabricating the recent scandal.
Did you see the interview video of Bang Yoon Tae's ex-wife?
Yes, I did.
I've come to a decision that you're the only person...
that can save LX Group from this mess.
But most of the board members are in favor of Ms. Hong right now.
You used to be very close with Ms. Hong.
So I'm sure you can come up with a way to bring her down.
Look at this, Se Hyun.
Is it about Seo Jun's medicine?
(LX Group Stock Ownership Percentage)
- This is... - Now,
we have more stocks than Chairman Choi...
if we add both our stocks together.
How is this possible?
How did he lose so much?
And how did you manage to get the money to buy all this?
Once I started becoming desperate, I was able to see the way.
Where did you suddenly get...
so much money...
to buy all this?
(Gangnam Scandal)
I heard you don't even answer his calls.
- What are you doing? - I really did love you.
I never want to see you again.
You seriously want me to tell Se Hyun...
that I'm pregnant with the executive director's baby?
- Or you could make it come true. - What?
If you want to save Seo Jun, you better make a quick choice.
What do you mean we never paid for the research expenses?
There aren't any records of it.
She must've siphoned the money.
