(Kang Tae Su: Undergoing Surgery)
(Kang Tae Su: Surgery Complete)
How did it go?
The surgery went well.
Okay. Thank you.
How is my father's condition?
Everything else is fine, but he has arrhythmia.
So we'll have to keep an eye on him...
in the ICU for about a day or two.
Don't worry too much.
Okay.
He's the liver donor?
Yes. His condition seems fine.
But he hasn't regained his consciousness yet.
How did Ms. Oh's father end up doing this?
Where's his guardian?
His son was here before the surgery.
But now, we can't seem to reach him.
"His son"?
We need to check that.
The top looks okay.
Let's make some changes to the pants.
The color?
Let's go with gray.
Hey, Mr. Choi.
What? My dad?
Ms. Oh.
Did my dad really donate his liver to the chairman?
Is he okay?
Yes, I found out after the surgery.
You didn't know either, did you?
He told me he was leaving on a trip.
His son came to the hospital as his guardian...
and gave his consent to do the surgery.
"His son"?
But he was nowhere to be found after the surgery,
and he won't even answer our calls.
He never told me he had a son.
Hello, Director Kang.
Mr. Park, why is it so hard to reach you?
Why did you suddenly get transferred to China as the branch manager?
Did my dad transfer you there?
No, it was the vice-chairperson.
My mom?
Then how did Suk Hwan...
become the acting chairman?
I'm sorry. Please forgive me.
How's your father's condition?
He needs to stay in the ICU for about a day or two...
so that his body can recover.
I don't think Oh Man Shik is awake yet.
Once Father wakes up...
Did you coax Mr. Park...
and switch the files that Dad signed?
You knew this, didn't you, Suk Hwan?
Mr. Park told me everything,
so don't even think of lying to me.
I switched the files.
Your father didn't seem to be thinking straight,
so I fixed his mistake.
You can't just ignore his opinion and do whatever you want.
This is what Suk Hwan deserves.
Do you think Dad will accept this...
once he wakes up?
He signed the papers, so there's nothing he can do.
I guess we'll find out once Dad wakes up.
Dad may not be here to oppose,
but I won't let Suk Hwan use such a cowardly approach...
to become the chairman.
Then what?
What will you do?
At this very moment, I'm taking back what I told you.
I won't let you take over the company.
So what?
Are you saying you're going to take over?
There's no reason not to.
I'll do what I need to do for both Dad and the company.
He's become extremely spiteful.
You'd better be on your toes.
Okay.
Pil Jeong.
Your father really donated his liver to the chairman?
Yes, apparently.
How is your father's condition?
His doctor told me everything seems fine,
but he hasn't woken up yet.
Why did Dad suddenly decide to donate his liver?
Is it because he felt bad about the trouble he caused?
Mr. Choi also thinks it might be because of that.
Soon Jeong.
I think Dad has a son.
What?
When he came to donate his liver,
his son came and signed the papers.
(Hyeju Hospital)
What brings you guys here?
Are you here to meet my dad?
Soon Jeong's father donated his liver...
for Chairman Kang.
What?
Is that true?
But my dad is still unconscious.
Pil Jeong.
I heard your father...
donated his liver to my dad.
How is the chairman doing?
He's still recovering,
but he'll be sent to the general ward tomorrow.
I'm glad to hear that.
I heard your father...
is still unconscious.
Yes.
Suk Joon, what are you doing here?
Were you with her all along?
Why did you meet her? You guys have broken up.
Her father donated his liver for my dad.
But he's still unconscious. I can't just keep quiet about it.
Are you using that as an excuse to meet her?
I don't want you meeting her.
Nothing's going to happen, so don't worry.
Do you mean that?
Now that your father's surgery went well,
I plan to move up our engagement.
There's no need to rush.
You promised to let me do what I want.
I'm going to fix a date earlier than planned,
so just keep that in mind.
(3H Smart Massage Bed)
Has your father woken up?
I don't get what he was thinking.
He probably felt bad about the trouble he put you through.
Since when did he care that much about me?
And how could he risk his life and do something so dangerous?
Maybe that was the only thing he thought he could do.
After all, he's still your father.
(LX Group Personnel Appointment)
(Promotion, Lee Eun Ju)
(From General Manager to Executive Director)
This is a very unconventional personnel appointment.
I know.
Congratulations, Ms. Lee.
You're the executive director now.
What are you talking about?
Don't you know that you got promoted as the executive director?
It's on the online bulletin board.
Ms. Lee became the executive director.
(Acting Chairman Kang Suk Hwan)
Suk Hwan.
Why didn't you tell me anything about the promotion?
Do you like the surprise gift?
Yes, of course. Thank you.
You should've gotten promoted ages ago.
I'm the chairman, and you're my wife.
You deserve to be more than just a general manager.
You really are the only person who cares for me this much.
How could you promote her...
without even discussing it with Dad?
Why would I discuss it with Dad when I'm the chairman?
You should be grateful that you didn't get demoted...
from your position.
Are you sitting there so you could do whatever you want?
Yes, I'm going to do things my way.
I'll do things my way and make LX Group into a global company.
Aren't you going to congratulate me for getting promoted?
You became the executive director thanks to your husband.
Am I supposed to congratulate you for that?
That's all part of my competence.
Why do you think your father donated his liver to the chairman?
What do you mean?
Do you know why?
I don't know.
But I do know that he didn't do it for you and Suk Joon.
How is the chairman doing?
He's going to get sent to the general ward today.
But even if he wakes up, he won't be able to return to work.
Does that mean your brother could really become the chairman?
I won't let that happen.
Hello?
The chairman got sent to the general ward.
Oh, okay.
But he needs to take complete rest.
If he finds out that his donor was Mr. Oh Man Shik,
it might make him feel extremely pressured.
I understand what you mean.
Has the chairman woken up?
Yes.
How do you feel?
I feel great.
But we still need to keep an eye on you...
for adverse reactions or complications.
Dad.
You must've been worried.
- Are you okay? - Yes, I'm okay.
How is the donor? Is that person doing okay?
He's still unconscious,
but everything seems fine, so he'll wake up soon.
I see.
Her father donated his liver for my dad.
I heard about your father.
Did your father donate his liver to the chairman...
with an ulterior motive?
What are you talking about?
If you're trying to use that as an excuse...
to get back together with Suk Joon...
That won't happen. Don't worry.
I don't want you meeting Suk Joon even if he asks you...
to meet regarding that issue.
Suk Joon already promised to get engaged to you,
and he'll stick to his promise.
Who do you think you are to talk as if you know him well?
I'm saying you should trust him...
instead of being suspicious of him all the time.
I had no idea Mr. Park would do this.
Once everyone finds out...
that Mom and Suk Hwan switched the papers you signed,
his personnel appointment will get canceled.
Let's make sure that happens.
If he keeps trying to steal your position from you like this,
I won't let him get what he wants.
Suk Joon.
I finally understood that yielding isn't always the best way.
I'll do everything I can...
for the company.
I'm glad to hear that.
First, I'll meet your mother and Suk Hwan...
and straighten things out.
Dad wants to meet us.
What if he's trying to invalidate your personnel appointment?
I won't let that happen.
Suk Hwan, you stay here.
There's no need for you to listen to your father's scolding.
No, I also need to talk to him.
Let me go with you.
Did the chairman get sent to the general ward?
Yes.
How is his condition?
He's doing well.
Can I go see him?
Sure.
But the chairman doesn't know...
that your father is the donor.
I see.
Your doctor told me that the surgery went well.
How dare you?
I can't believe you switched the papers I signed.
Why do you have such a big problem with letting your son...
take over your position?
What?
Do you really think you deserve to be the chairman?
Remember what I told you?
I told you that I'll take back...
everything I had lost to Suk Joon.
This is just the beginning, Dad.
You wouldn't be the acting chairman...
if you hadn't switched the papers.
I'll tell the executives what happened.
Go ahead.
Then I must tell them that Oh Man Shik...
donated a piece of his liver for money from you.
What? What are you talking about?
- "Oh Man Shik"? - That's right.
Oh Man Shik is the guy...
who donated his liver.
I heard you offered a deal to my husband.
He rejected the offer right away.
I guess he's not doing so bad.
We'd like you to donate your liver.
My husband asked us to pay you for your liver.
Really? I thought he didn't want it.
But then again, we all become weak when death approaches us.
But I'd like to speak to Chairman Kang myself.
The chairman can't directly get involved in this.
We'd like to proceed with this very quietly.
Okay, fine.
But I heard the process is very complicated.
I have a son, but he can't come to the hospital.
But I can't ask Pil Jeong to come as my guardian either.
Don't worry.
We'll find someone to be your son.
You just need to sign up for the transplant.
We'll take care of the rest.
I guess everything is easy when you have money.
Once we find out you're fit to be the donor,
we'll wire you the money right away.
We were willing to do anything to keep you alive.
So you paid him?
The money was sent under your name, so that means you paid him.
You're unbelievable.
What do you think will happen...
when the reporters write articles saying you paid money...
to receive a liver transplant?
And what if Oh Man Shik doesn't wake up?
Shouldn't you live a healthy life on his behalf?
What did I just hear?
What do you mean my dad got paid...
to donate his liver?
Your father was the one who made the offer.
He offered to donate his liver...
in return for 100,000 dollars.
Ms. Oh, listen...
I can't believe none of you told me about the offer he made.
You people are unbelievable.
Oh Man Shik was the one who approached us with the offer.
Even if he doesn't wake up, it won't be our fault.
How is he doing?
It's still the same. Let's try waiting a bit more.
Where's my sister?
She went to meet the chairman.
Why do you look so upset? Did something happen?
Did the chairman upset you?
Dad offered to donate his liver to the chairman...
and asked him for money in return.
What?
Are you serious?
It's a nursing hospital.
Hello?
This is the nursing hospital.
Isn't this Mr. Oh Man Shik's number?
He's my father. You can talk to me.
His son isn't able to answer his phone.
But he's been getting a lot of calls lately.
What's going on?
Okay, I'll be right there.
Pil Jeong.
I heard Mr. Oh Man Shik offered to donate his liver for money.
What's that all about?
He came and made me an offer.
I turned him down, so I didn't think much of it.
But it looks like my wife paid him...
while I was unconscious.
I'm sorry.
Are you serious? Dad's son is at a nursing hospital?
He was born with spinal muscular atrophy.
I think he's younger than you, Soon Jeong.
But he can't do anything without someone else's help.
I heard it costs a lot of money to treat rare illnesses.
Is that why he needed money?
And he even brought a fake son just so he could get the surgery?
I really can't believe him.
He not only scammed people for money,
but he even went ahead with the surgery...
so he could receive money from the chairman.
Just like always, Dad used us for his advantage.
I get that he was desperate to treat his sick son,
but how could he not care about us at all?
What if he just passes away like this?
How are we supposed to live with that?
What should I do? I hate my dad so much.
I really had no idea about any of this.
I can't seem to forgive him.
He just ended up hurting me and Soon Jeong again.
Is your father awake?
No, not yet.
I can't believe he received the surgery...
without even telling his children.
He really must not have cared about you and your sister.
Mom.
If she asks you to help her pay for his surgery,
just tell her that you can't.
I can't believe you just said that.
Dad, how could you do that?
Your mother found out about the deal Oh Man Shik offered,
and she used that against me.
She told me she did it to save me, but that's just an excuse.
She did it so I wouldn't be able to withdraw...
Suk Hwan's personnel appointment as the acting chairman.
Pil Jeong's father is still unconscious.
How do you think she feels right now?
I really don't know what to say.
I wonder what Soon Jeong and I meant to my dad.
We missed him so much,
but he was busy taking care of his son.
That's because his son always required someone to care for him.
Yes, I know. I know that.
I'm worried sick that he might not wake up.
But he scammed people to pay for his son's treatment...
and even donated his liver.
Our dad never cared...
about me and my sister...
just like in the past.
I don't know what to say.
I should've checked more thoroughly.
He was determined to fool us.
So you never would've known.
Suk Joon.
I can't believe her dad used your father's life to get paid.
I hope she doesn't resent your father...
just because her father is unconscious right now.
But then again, she has no right to resent him.
Her father was the one who asked him for money.
I think...
you should go.
Was your son important enough...
to risk your own life for him?
Is your father still unconscious?
Yes. What are the kids doing?
They were waiting for you, but they fell asleep just now.
Thank you for taking care of them.
Don't mention it.
You look tired.
You should get some rest.
By the way,
did your father spend everything he received from the chairman...
to pay for his son's treatment?
What?
It's been a while since he wired us money for the treatment.
We're using the money he wired us a while ago.
What are you looking for?
I heard it's been a while since he sent money to the nursing hospital.
Are you looking for that money?
I need to find out where he spent that money.
If it's still here, I should give it back.
(Oh Pil Jeong, Chairman Kang Tae Su)
It looks like he wrote a letter for you and Chairman Kang.
Pil Jeong, it's me, your father.
I wanted to proudly tell you this myself...
after I donated my liver to Chairman Kang.
But I'm leaving you a letter...
just in case I don't wake up.
(Mom Has an Affair)
The money Oh Man Shik received was enclosed along with the letter.
Will you please wake up for me?
Do you still have feelings for Ms. Oh?
You can do whatever you want now.
I don't care how you feel about me.
I just want us to become closer.
I'll wait.
Pil Jeong told me she feels at ease when she's with him.
How dare you covet my uncle?
Why do you keep clinging onto him? What's your purpose?
Are you using your father as an excuse to get him back?
Stop confusing him.
Right now, I'm seeing Dr. Choi.
