(Episode 68)
Are you ready?
Of course.
It should be done perfectly, Comrade.
I got you, Comrade.
They're all on their way.
Right.
The phone is turned off. Please leave a message...
Why won't he pick up or come home at a time like this?
He's not in trouble, is he?
Ae Ri, come here and have some before you leave.
Forget it.
Hey, I cooked doenjang stew, so add rice and have a bite.
Today's a very important meeting, so you need that energy.
I still can't reach him.
He must be sleeping at a sauna after having a drink.
Why out of all days?
I'm sure he'll just bring up the subject.
I don't think he'll decide everything on the spot.
Whatever.
What's up with your father-in-law?
He made a racket with that fake marriage not long ago...
and now he brings up inheriting his fortune?
He's done fooling and threatening us all he wanted.
He could just give it to us nicely.
Anyway, Father is wacky.
But isn't it great that he finally made up his mind?
I guess I should be grateful that the woman left the house.
Hey.
You should cut ties with her sister too.
Of course.
Oh, my goodness.
I went to see the shaman to get that talisman...
with that woman not knowing she's her sister.
Unbelievable.
Hurry up and go.
Don't get pushed back because of Min Joo again.
I'll be back.
Oh, right.
If things work out, I'll call you.
Bring the kids. We'll have something nice.
All right.
You're here.
Yes. Is everyone here?
Except for Geum Gang.
What about Father?
Oh, you're back.
Yes, it's been a while.
- Yes. - What about Geum Gang?
He went on a business trip. He said it was important.
Welcome.
Dad's waiting for you.
Come on in.
Sit down.
Should I bring out some tea?
Oh, stay here.
I'll bring it.
Did you have your meal?
Oh, I did.
Oh, right.
But is it okay to discuss this between ourselves?
What are you talking about?
We're going to talk about the inheritance.
Don't we need a lawyer or something?
We're not in a hurry.
As the inheritance is on the line, she's not mentioning a divorce.
She always gets me to do it.
She's such a jerk.
Gosh! Why is this so heavy?
How annoying!
Geez, it's heavy.
Oh, no!
- You frightened me. - What's going on?
How have you been?
What brings you here?
Welcome.
What happened to your face?
Ae Ri?
You called me a daughter-in-law and now my name?
Why don't you start acting like my mother-in-law now?
I'm sure you will regret this.
Regret?
Why would I regret it when I won't be seeing you again?
I hurt myself while working out.
Let's begin.
I'm sorry that I fooled you...
and faked her as your stepmom.
I had a glimpse of death...
and thought about how I'd leave you behind.
So things turned out this way.
You did it because it was reprehensible for you...
when we went nuts about you getting married.
You thought all we were interested in was money.
That's right.
This is all because of my fortune.
However I try,
I can't use all that money before I die at my age.
The leftover money would be yours.
I have so many of you. I don't know how much to give you.
Also, I'm not sure if it's the right thing to do to give you.
But, Father.
Why is she here?
I brought her here again because I couldn't decide.
Greet them properly.
I've become attached to you guys,
and your father had given me a lot.
So I'm here to help you although I'm not a great person.
What gives you the right to meddle in our family...
Listen to me carefully.
Before the end of this year,
I'm going to straighten out all my fortune.
And she'll be in charge of doing that.
Father!
Father, what are you saying?
Why would she...
She has nothing to do with us!
I designate Gong Gye Ok as my property manager...
and adult guardian.
Dad, what do you mean property manager?
You're going to let her take over everything?
What is adult support?
Dad's already an adult. Why would you need support?
It's a guardian, not support.
An adult guardian is a system that mandates the management...
of properties if the person becomes incompetent...
due to serious illnesses or dementia.
Why does that have to be Ms. Gong?
Then should I have given you the right?
That's not what I mean.
Right.
If one of us becomes your guardian,
we'll have conflicts and misunderstandings.
I agree with your idea.
I agree too.
Han Ra!
So are you saying Ms. Gong will have all rights...
to your property and future heritage?
That's too risky.
Although I have been entrusted with property rights,
I'm just a representative who conveys Mr. Boo's will.
After me, she...
Actually, she may know you all better than me.
She will judge fairly and objectively...
so that there will be no oppression.
Dad, are you making a historical drama?
You're saying lines like an old governor.
No way. I already feel unfair.
Father, it could not be more unfair.
Then, does that include the restaurant?
Yes. Buruna Noodles is the most important asset out of all.
On what basis?
Do you have a specific plan on what basis...
you're going to make fair and objective judgments?
Shouldn't you have a basis that we can accept?
Of course.
I'm preparing it now and will announce it soon.
Goodness me.
- Ae Ri! - Gosh!
Ae Ri, are you okay?
- Ae Ri! - Gosh, Ae Ri!
Ae Ri!
Ae Ri! Wake up!
Ae Ri!
- Ae Ri! - Ae Ri. Wake up!
- Ae Ri. - Ae Ri!
Ae Ri.
I was wrong!
Don't hit me! It will hurt!
- Gye Ok. Don't hit me! - Ae Ri.
I'm really sorry. Please!
Don't hit me!
I was wrong.
- Please don't hit me! It hurts. - Ae Ri.
Gye Ok. Please don't hit me.
I did wrong.
Walk properly.
Oh, my.
Can you drive?
Go home safely.
I'll call you soon.
Min Joo. What should I do?
I hit her and grabbed her hair.
I'm scared, Min Joo. What should I do?
Seriously.
Baek Doo.
Yes, Jung Gwon.
You're having a hard time, right?
I'm not.
- Let's have a drink someday. - Okay.
Honey. I think you need to move your car out.
- Okay. See you later. I'll be off. - Bye.
We should buy a dryer.
It's too hectic in this small place.
What is this?
I saw him again. It's him, right? Your ex-husband.
This face...
Lee Kyung Oh.
Are you not Jang Won's dad?
I think he's the person I saw last time.
Yes, it's me.
It's him, right?
Your ex-husband.
No. He just looks similar.
Where did you see him?
My neighborhood, Sajik-dong.
He has double eyelids, and big and bright eyes, and a big mouth.
He is your ex-husband.
I've seen someone similar once too,
but he was Chinese.
No. It seemed he spoke Korean.
If you come across him again, try talking to him.
It's simple.
You just ask if he's Lee Kyung Oh.
Okay. Let's stay in touch.
I'm home!
What's gotten into you?
Jang Won.
Do you really not want to see your dad?
Why are you asking about Dad all of a sudden?
Did you hear from him?
My friend has seen someone who looks like your dad twice.
So what?
When I can reach him, I was hoping to get child support.
But if I really find him,
I was wondering if I should let him meet you.
You don't want to meet your dad?
I'm not sure. I haven't thought about it.
He does look very similar.
As Geum Gang didn't come, it went peacefully than I thought.
Everyone will just be bewildered now.
Now you need to do a good job.
Everything is up to you now.
I'll do my best.
Have some drinks while discussing.
Goodness me. You're so obedient.
Come on. Don't make fun of me.
So I've been doing some thinking.
As Min Joo said, there'll be no fuss if there's a basis to my judgment.
Otherwise, I could be taken somewhere...
and disappear quietly.
That's why it's tough to be the one with the power.
So did you find a way?
How about introducing a performance-based system?
Are you trying to evaluate performance or efficiency?
Yes. For example,
we'll give five points for calling Mr. Boo,
seven points for taking him and eating out,
five points for helping out at the restaurant...
Hey. Forget it.
Are we doing this to force them to be good?
I won't pull such cheap tricks.
Why? I'm planning this...
as they're not doing their duty as your children.
It sounds like a force to me too.
Who forced them?
No one will say anything even if they don't do it.
They just won't get points.
I'm just saying to do it if you want points.
That's an excellent idea.
Shouldn't you check their behavior outside the house as well?
How diligent they are at work...
and how well they support their family.
Include stuff like volunteering.
Are you guys playing around? You brats.
Stop playing around and do it properly.
Where are you going? We haven't finished talking.
You two talk.
If they were to be close, the two should be closer to me.
When did they get along well like that?
Gosh.
Welcome...
Why did you stop?
I'm busy. Leave.
No one is here.
What's wrong with you these days? Did your puberty kickback?
Do you have trouble at home?
You don't reply to my messages.
Do you really not know anything?
About what?
My aunt...
who I thought went to Ulleungdo, came back.
Your aunt?
So what?
Ulleungdo...
was actually your home.
What?
My aunt is the one who you spoke ill of...
and had a fake marriage with your grandfather.
Wait.
Why is my home Ulleungdo?
And a fake marriage?
Leave.
Go and ask yourself.
Whether it's to your dad or grandfather.
You're working hard.
I should clean it properly since I'm doing it.
Why? Do you have something to say?
Dad is giving me heritage.
He's not giving it unconditionally...
but to those who deserve it.
Why are you telling me that?
That's good news.
Then live diligently and be sure to get your heritage.
Which is why I want to ask you...
How do you feel about having a fake marriage with me?
What did you say?
If I get married, Dad might give me marriage funds and a house.
That's what he did for my brothers.
So you want to fake marriage for money?
What's wrong with that?
I'm not ready to get married yet,
so I'll receive some money from him in advance.
And I'm confident that I won't get caught like my dad.
You like the fact that I like you.
And I know that you don't feel the same way about me.
So how could you say that?
You're so cruel.
What makes you think I don't like you?
Then...
do you?
Well, I'm not head over heels about you.
Why are you stuttering?
Well, I do like you more than the beginning.
We ran out of the detergent.
Does this mean he likes me?
What happened? I heard everyone was here.
The unimaginable has happened.
Father made Gong Gye Ok in charge of everything.
That includes managing the property, the restaurant, and the estate.
Why would he do such a thing?
What do we do?
Even so, Mr. Boo won't be able to give up his hopes for Baek Doo.
He might criticize him sometimes, but he has...
a strong belief that the eldest should take care of the family.
And that woman showed up to change his mind.
Father indeed thinks of you as a successor of his soup room.
But that can change as she'll come to the restaurant from tomorrow.
Try not to get on the wrong side of her or make her blame you.
So...
she'll be taking care of everything...
from managing the account books and money.
Must be so.
With power always comes responsibility.
We should make her shoot herself in the foot.
Put your worries to rest.
Go home early and get some rest.
By the way,
Baek Doo found out you came over to our house.
How?
Don't worry.
I told him you came over to give me some abalones.
Just so you know.
All right.
And...
we didn't do anything wrong that will be criticized by anyone.
Long time no see.
Yes. Have you been well?
Where is the manager?
I look forward...
to working with you from now on.
Yes. I heard about it.
The pleasure is mine.
I hope to learn a lot from you, Mrs. Yoon.
I don't know anything.
Heritage proposal?
This is rather awkward.
How about the inheritance proposal?
Inheritance plan. This will work.
Good. We'll do that.
I should ask them to write it up by next week.
You should meet the deadline too, Sul Ak.
It feels weird as I'm taking someone else's side.
But won't you give me extra points for being so supportive of you?
Okay.
Get some rest as you'll be exhausted today.
All right. I'll call you tomorrow.
- Dad. - Yes?
What happened?
I heard it was fake.
How did you...
Are you saying that Grandpa and the woman are strangers?
You're right.
But why would she take care of our family matter?
Your grandfather and her share a special relationship.
They are like friends that help out in difficult times.
Can't you just accept it like that?
It might be too early for you to understand such matters now.
I didn't even know he was her nephew.
I talked behind her back with him.
You didn't know about it, and it was a misunderstanding.
You can work it out from now.
Our family is in such a complicated state.
That's why I'm saying this.
Can't I just keep it for one week?
I'm begging you. When did I ever ask you a favor?
Why don't you get what I'm saying?
I never asked such favor from you.
Hey. Don't you remember what I did for you?
You shouldn't treat me like this.
Help me out, please.
I really might end up dead.
Hello?
The phone call has been restricted at the request of the recipient.
Honestly,
when I used to drink 30-year-old whiskey riding my foreign-made car,
he used to suck up to me as if he'll die for me.
Not that I'm not as well off,
he won't give me 1,000 dollars...
for my daughter's academy fee.
It's not like I asked him for 10,000 dollars.
And he blocked me?
This world is so cold and heartless.
Right. Geum Gang.
I was rejected in life.
(Insurance policy)
So I might as well leave this world.
This will be the last gift...
I can give to my family.
(Will)
Tae Hee!
Hye Gyo!
Ji Hyun!
Ae Ri!
So...
you'll have them write down what they want first?
Yes. The reason why they want it and how they plan to use it too.
Did you two plan this?
Sorry? Oh, well.
She'll be talking to you often from now on.
Dad.
Dad. It's me, Geum Gang.
Can you step outside?
What is it?
Were you drinking again?
I told you to go out.
I need to have a word with him.
What is it?
Dad.
Can you help me this once?
I'm...
about to lose my house.
What?
Ae Ri and the kids...
are about to be kicked out onto the streets.
(Brilliant Heritage)
What are you going to do with all that money?
Didn't you put the cafe for sale?
- Your husband was here. - Pardon?
You don't have to hand all of them over to me.
Why not? Are you not confident?
Do you want to set her up with Sul Ak?
She catches on quickly.
- Hello. - What? Why would she be here?
Chef Cha. Is there something else you want to tell me?
