(Episode 63)
Gosh, Poong Ki.
Should I let her go?
Should I stop her?
Should I let her go or should I stop her?
Should I let her go?
Gosh, Poong Ki. Come on!
When there's a comfortable life waiting for her,
how could I ask her to suffer with me?
For Room Six's future,
I should let her go without hesitation.
That's what a man should do.
That's right, Poong Ki.
I don't want to
Live like the wind
And disappear like dew
- Geo Bok, are you sleeping? - Come in.
Okay. I see.
I'll see you soon then.
All right. Bye.
- Was that your son? - Yes.
We talk around this time every day.
I see.
Are you going back to the US when you're done with your business?
What?
You just said you'd see your son soon on the phone.
I'd stay if you told me to.
You're being silly.
I'm serious.
I can stay with you...
as long as you want me to.
You have your own house.
Why would you rent a room at the inn?
You're right. When I have my own house,
it'd be ridiculous...
to rent a room at the inn.
I'd better stop doing it.
Why are you taking it away? I thought it was for me.
No, it's for me.
What I mean is...
I don't want to rent a room anymore.
I want to live with you in your room.
What are you talking about?
I don't want to be another guest at your inn anymore.
I want to be your husband.
There you go again. Cut out this nonsense and go to bed.
Did I say anything wrong?
I know you want it too. You're just shy.
Starting today,
I'm going to keep a video diary.
Even if my dementia gets worse and I end up forgetting everything,
these videos will help me remember things.
Your name is Yang Geum Hee.
Yang Geum Hee.
This is Choi Man Ho,
your husband.
Even if you end up forgetting...
how you look or what your name is,
never forget your husband.
Choi Man Ho.
He loves you...
more than you love yourself.
You owe him more than you owe anyone else.
Even if you forget everything else in the world,
you should never forget him.
You should do everything he wants you to do.
Do as he says...
no matter how much you hate it.
Don't make things hard for him.
Geum Hee,
do you understand?
What's with you?
You sound as if you're going far away.
Hae Jun,
are you going somewhere?
The real estate agency on the first floor says...
there's a vacancy on the third floor.
We can sign a contract at noon tomorrow.
See you then.
Bak Ha.
What are you doing out here?
Nothing. Why are you still up?
It's just that...
I have this odd feeling.
What do you mean?
Your mother.
When we talked on the phone earlier,
I didn't hear an ounce of energy in her voice.
She sounded glum.
It was definitely not the Ms. Oh I remember.
It was odd how she asked me...
to take good care of you too.
She's probably upset, so don't read too much into it.
- I'm sorry. - For what?
Because of me,
you are on the outs with your mother.
That's ridiculous.
I'm the one who should be apologizing.
We'll talk about it some other time. I'm really exhausted today.
All right.
Good night then.
Wait.
What is it?
Do I have something on my face?
No.
Then what?
You're beautiful.
Gosh, you're being silly.
You're too stunning and I never want to look away.
Goodness.
You must be exhausted so get some rest.
I will as well.
Sleep tight.
(My Beloved Mom)
The phone is turned off. Please leave a message after the beep.
I say this as a mother.
Please take care of my son.
I have a bad feeling about this.
(Bak Ha)
Who on earth is calling at this hour?
Hello?
I probably woke you. Gosh, I'm sorry.
Who is this?
It's Bak Ha.
Bak Ha? What?
Why are you calling at this hour? Did something happen at home?
No, it's not that.
Did Ms. Oh come home today?
Yes.
She came home drunk as a skunk.
Why?
We talked on the phone earlier today...
and she said something odd.
I couldn't shake off this feeling.
What feeling?
Could you check if she's sound asleep?
Please.
Again, I'm sorry to call so late.
Sure.
Ms. Oh?
Ms. Oh, are you asleep?
Is she sleeping?
Ms. Oh, are you asleep?
Ms. Oh?
Ms. Oh...
"Father, please forgive me for..."
Ms. Oh, please wake up.
Open your eyes!
Gosh. Can you hear me?
No...
Sweetheart?
Sweetheart!
Sweetheart, this is bad.
- Please come out here at once! - What's going on?
What's with the commotion?
Well, Ms. Oh...
What are you saying? What about In Sook?
Please go to her room. Hurry!
Hurry, please.
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, no.
In Sook?
In Sook, can you hear me?
Why is her body limp?
In Sook, are you sick?
She must've taken some pills.
In Sook wake up!
In Sook? In Sook!
How long ago did she take the pills?
I'm not sure exactly when.
I saw her last...
at around midnight,
so it's been 2 to 3 hours.
Please save her life.
This must not be how she ends her life.
Gosh.
What will happen to her?
I'm sure she'll be all right. Please calm down.
(Nakwon Inn)
Hae Jun.
Where are you running off to this early in the morning?
- I'll tell you once I get back. - Is something wrong?
I'll get going.
I wonder what it's about.
Yes, Eun Ji.
Things were too hectic that I forgot to call.
Did something happen to Ms. Oh?
Hae Jun just stormed out of here.
She overdosed on sleeping pills.
- What? - She emptied the entire bottle...
after leaving a suicide note.
She had no intention of waking up.
Hae Jun, you're here.
What happened?
She emptied a bottle of sleeping pills.
Considering the note she left, she intended to die.
What did the doctor say?
She'll make a full recovery since she was found early.
The doctor said we should wait and see how she does.
Thanks to Eun Ji, we were able to get to her in time.
If we hadn't...
I'm devastated to even think about it.
I only went to her because Bak Ha called me.
- Ms. Geum called you? - Yes.
I received her call in the middle of the night.
She couldn't shake off this odd feeling...
and told me to check on Ms. Oh.
Ms. Geum must be physic or something. Unbelievable.
Tell me about it.
This was left on her bedside table.
She even wrote a suicide note.
How could she be so cruel?
Did Hae Jun call?
Yes. We shouldn't worry so much since she'll make a full recovery.
Unbelievable.
How can you go to the extreme...
just because your child won't do as you say?
I doubt that's the only reason.
- What? - Do you know something we don't?
Ms. Oh called me a few days ago...
and asked me to steal a USB drive from Director Na.
The price she offered was a million dollars.
A million dollars?
- Yes. - And?
I may be poor, but I'm a man of pride.
I wouldn't stoop down so low no matter what the price is.
It's why I declined her offer.
What on earth is on that USB drive...
to make her offer you a million dollars?
I opened the file out of curiosity too.
It was filled with numbers almost like accounting documents.
Accounting documents?
Yes.
Are the PR team and legal team even doing their jobs?
It shouldn't be this hard to block these articles.
Come in.
Sit.
How's your mom?
She just regained consciousness.
That's a relief.
I won't beat around the bush.
The USB drive you have. Discard it right away.
Pardon?
Your mom tried to kill herself because of it.
Since things have come to this, you can't turn a blind eye to it.
It's just transgressing moral laws.
The USB drive doesn't belong to me.
How could you say that when your mom is going through all this?
Abandoning your own mom for a woman you love?
It's breaking moral laws and even filial piety.
I don't think...
you're such an immoral person.
Destroy it right away.
Why aren't you answering?
I will think about it.
Okay.
And...
move back in.
Your mom even tried to take her own life.
You're the only one who can get everything back in order.
You should and take good care of her by her side.
I will think about it too.
And...
once your mom gets better,
you can come back to work.
I'm working on an IT startup company now.
I'm not returning to Guseong.
How dare you...
I'm Journalist Kim Seung Hoon.
(Wuseong Daily, Kim Seung Hoon)
What is it you want to see me about?
I'm reporting the power trip case of Guseong Group.
We got a report...
that you used to work at Guseong Hotel as a baker,
but you were falsely accused by Director Do and had to quit.
Is it true?
Yes, it is.
Would you tell us about it if you don't mind?
Please have some tea.
Thank you.
You should sit too.
You must have a lot to say.
- Okay. - Please have a seat.
My husband worked as a head chef...
at Guseong Hotel for 10 years.
He was a faithful and hard-working employee,
so he could claw his way to the top without studying abroad.
So how was he framed?
At some point, we started to get poor quality ingredients there.
Director Do was in charge of it.
It turns out she'd been taking kickbacks from suppliers...
on the condition we get ingredients cheaper than ones on the contract.
How did you find it out?
Chefs can tell when the wheat flour is changed.
The texture is different.
I see.
Then we started...
to get more complaints from customers.
And Director Do fabricated all the documents...
about the rebate with the suppliers...
to put the blame on me...
and fired me.
It must've been frustrating.
And I filed a suit...
to clear myself of a false charge,
and ended up losing my everything.
I see. The case was dismissed...
on the grounds that there was not enough evidence.
Please help us clear our names now.
That lady deserves punishment.
(Settlement)
(Do Do Hee, Kim Woo Jae)
I'm glad we've reached a settlement like this.
Thank you.
I didn't even bring a charge against her.
I would've signed the settlement sooner...
if she offered her sincere apology.
Director Do also feels bad...
about it.
I know she doesn't.
I know you wouldn't find it satisfactory,
but it's not a small amount.
Director Do wants you to use it for your rehabilitation treatment.
I told you I don't want the settlement money.
I should get going then.
Woo Jae.
What do you want?
I got a call from our attorney.
You don't have to thank me. I don't need it.
Wait.
What are you doing?
I'm sorry, Woo Jae.
Saying sorry...
doesn't show how I'm feeling at all.
But I'm really sorry, Woo Jae.
It's my bad.
I'm the one who planned the whole thing.
But I left an indelible scar in your life.
I'm a selfish and nasty wench.
To be honest,
I was a little tempted when Grandpa said...
he'd make me the president.
I abandoned you for my dream.
I was out of my mind. Becoming a president is no big deal.
What's the use of saying all that now?
I shouldn't have hurt...
a nice person like you.
I just can't forgive myself.
What do I do now?
To be honest, I just don't understand you either.
I don't understand you,
but I will forgive you.
So stop feeling so guilty and live at ease.
Please don't say that.
It sounds like it's all over.
Of course, it is.
What do we have left between us?
- Woo Jae. - Go.
Let's not see each other again.
I still love you.
What?
I mean it.
I still love you, Woo Jae.
Love?
Don't use the word like that.
Honey.
Woo Jae.
Dear my beloved son, Hae Jun.
I'm sorry.
You are like my life.
I just started it to take good care of you.
But I ended up breaking your heart.
Abandoning your own mom for a woman you love?
It's breaking moral laws and even filial piety.
I don't think...
you're such an immoral person.
Destroy it right away.
When did you come?
Just a while ago.
You should've told me.
Why were you standing like that?
What about Director Oh?
She's awake now, so you don't have to worry.
You must be shocked.
Can we talk for a moment?
(Episode 64)
I told my boss.
I can be away for about 30 minutes.
What is this?
It's Kang Jin Gu's.
What do you mean?
It's the USB drive that was hidden in Kang Jin Gu's shoe.
I stumbled on it a few days ago and kept it with me.
Mr. Kang was known to have acted alone in the accounting fraud,
but this shows that he wasn't alone.
Director Son was involved in it while working with Mr. Kang.
It has all the evidence.
Then...
It's my mom...
who ordered the whole thing.
She did it to create a slush fund and make me the president.
And Mr. Kang was used for that.
What?
Mr. Kang was falsely accused of embezzlement of company money.
But before the accident,
he hid this USB drive with the evidence on it.
After I found it out, I gave Mom time to turn herself in.
But she ended up like that last night.
But why are you...
giving this to me now?
I've given it some thought.
I think it belongs to you.
I'll leave it at your disposal.
I know a word of apology won't change anything.
But...
I apologize on behalf of my mom.
So now...
things won't be the same for us.
What do you mean?
Now I know my mom is behind Mr. Kang's wrongful death.
I can't pretend nothing happened...
and stay by your side.
Hae Jun.
I should get going.
(Unbelievable power trips of Guseong family)
(Endless owner risks)
What's the trend of public opinion?
There's a public uproar against the power trip...
of Director Do of Guseong Group.
The press is avid...
to cover additional corruption scandals...
of Guseong Group now.
- Is that so? - Why don't we reveal...
all the evidence of corruption we've collected now?
No.
We don't have to do that.
Mr. Park.
How are the stockholders taking the news?
Guseong-related stocks are...
falling exponentially now,
so all the minority shareholders as well as major ones...
are in immense shock.
This is an opportunity from up above.
Na Wang Sam, that jerk is on a path to self-destruction now.
And the stock prices are falling rapidly.
So we will need to secure...
more shares of Guseong Hotel.
Yes, sir.
We should set up a meeting...
with the major shareholders of Guseong Hotel.
Yes, sir.
No matter how hard...
Na Wang Sam struggles,
he will soon be doomed.
Yes?
Ms. Bok Mak Rye is here to meet you, Chairman Choi.
What? Mak Rye?
Let her in.
- Hello, ma'am. - Hello.
Gosh.
What brings you here?
I heard you are working without having dinner.
So I brought some food.
You did? My gosh.
I thought I was getting a little hungry.
This is nice.
I'm glad to hear that.
You all must be working so hard.
They are my colleagues...
who are working on this project with me.
Okay?
Nice to meet you.
Thank you so much for helping Geo Bok with the project.
She was my first love.
And she's now my last companion for life.
You two look great together.
Do you really mean it?
Are you getting married soon?
Of course.
They all enjoyed your food. Thank you.
I didn't see it when you were home,
- but you look really cool here. - What?
You don't seem like the Geo Bok I know.
Gosh.
Thank you...
for having become a decent man like this.
I'm the one who should thank you.
This was all possible because of you.
I decided...
to show up in front of you...
as a cool and decent person.
And the decision has protected me my whole life.
You even sound cool today.
My late wife knew you very well.
Before we got married, we made a promise.
I promised I would never...
make her upset while living with her.
But I asked her to understand my memories of you.
And when my wife...
left this world,
she told me this.
"You should go find Mak Rye..."
"and meet her."
I see.
Even my children know about it.
Do you want to meet my children some day?
Why would I meet your children?
You should see my family before our wedding.
Gosh, you're being silly again.
Why would we have a wedding ceremony at our age?
Na Wang Sam, that jerk is having one.
There's no reason for us not to do it.
Gosh, Wang Sam has nothing to do with this.
Let's set a date and meet my family, okay?
Gosh. I told you to stop saying that.
Gosh.
She's still shy like a little girl.
She's so pretty and lovely.
(Stock Prices of Guseong Group)
It's me, sweetheart.
It's cold today. What brings you here?
I was worried about you.
I was afraid you might be stressed out and collapse like before.
You're the only person who cares about me.
I'm fine.
I'm glad to hear that.
If you're feeling okay,
shouldn't you go to the hospital?
Why would I go to a hospital when I feel okay?
It's not about you.
Your daughter-in-law moved to a patient's room.
You should visit her.
Why would I go there?
She's your family. Aren't you even worried?
I have a lot to think about with the stock prices plunging.
Do I have to care for my daughter-in-law too?
But shouldn't family come first?
Shut it!
Without money, there is no such thing as family.
They only treated me this well...
because I have dollar signs above my head.
What if I were broke?
They wouldn't have cared for me after their husbands' passing.
Do you truly believe that?
How is that not the truth?
My daughters-in-law are not my blood relatives.
If I weren't rich, they'd be long gone by now.
That's nonsense.
The people at Nakwon Inn are a family even though...
Can't you stop mentioning that wretched place?
Do you have any idea...
what that place is doing to me?
All right, I get it.
Please calm down.
In Sook, are you awake?
- Do Hee... - Yes, it's me.
I scared you, didn't I?
I was well aware of how heartless you could be,
but I never thought you'd give up your life.
How could you do this to your son?
Because life felt so futile.
My dream had been shattered...
and...
all that was left of me was my shell.
Even so,
what about those you'll be leaving behind?
After Hae Ri's father died,
I saw a shrink for 10 years.
Life had no meaning for me.
It must've been torture for you.
Of course.
I was devastated.
If it weren't for Hae Ri,
I would've followed him to his grave.
So...
how could you do this to your son?
I don't care how cruel life is.
You must suck it up for your child.
Were you that upset about losing Hae Jun...
to Ms. Geum?
That's one of the reasons.
In the end,
I only have myself to blame.
No one lives this life with a sane mind.
I'm living proof of that.
Still,
it was Ms. Geum who saved your life.
What are you talking about?
She must be physic or something...
because she asked Eun Ji to check on you.
She was worried about you.
You're still breathing thanks to Ms. Geum,
so don't hate her so much.
You can't control your children.
Look at me, for instance.
What I did to tear Hae Ri and Woo Jae apart...
turned into a nightmare for me.
I've been receiving a lifetime worth of criticism.
Thank you, Do Hee.
For what?
For comforting me.
I know we're not the best of friends,
but there is still a kinship between us.
Seeing you in the hospital like this...
is draining the energy out of me too.
So get better soon and leave this bed.
You owe me an argument.
Gosh, you're unbelievable.
Eun Ji, you're here.
How's Ms. Oh doing?
She's out of the woods now...
and is recovering.
I'm glad.
You must've been worried about your ex-girlfriend.
Ex-girlfriend, my foot!
All we did was kiss.
My gosh. You kissed her?
What? Well...
It was just a short peck.
A short peck?
You jerk. You gigolo. Unbelievable.
The mood just led us together and before I knew it...
It was only a mistake.
I wouldn't even call it a kiss.
Look who's talking though. Haven't you kissed Mr. Na?
Well... Gosh.
Can I get a bottle soju, please?
You criticize me when you also kissed the man?
Anyway, your wedding's coming up,
but the atmosphere at home must be awful.
Wang Sam is worried about Guseong's stock price dropping.
He couldn't care less about his daughter-in-law or our wedding.
Really?
The members of this family are all weird.
All they care about is money.
None of them are sane.
Getting struck by dollar signs and swimming in money...
have been your motto in life.
Gosh, you're one to talk.
Meeting a rich woman with a few years to live...
has been your goal in life too.
Right, it was.
Since I'm broke, I wanted to marry someone who wasn't.
However,
my view on life has changed.
Me too.
Just the smell of money...
makes me nauseous.
- Really? - Really.
You too?
Yes, really.
Here's your soju.
So Poong Ki...
What if...
What if?
No, it's nothing.
So Room Six.
What if we...
What if we... What?
Nothing. Forget about it.
You can't stop midway through a sentence.
What is it?
Tell me.
Forget about it. Let's just enjoy our soju. Here.
- Ms. Do? - Oh my.
How dare you ambush me like this?
I'm sure you know baker Choi Man Ho.
Gosh. What about him?
When you were in charge of Guseong Hotel's bakery,
you received a rebate from your suppliers and...
And the court cleared my name years ago,
so why are you bringing this up?
From the information we gathered...
Whatever. Consider this as a warning.
Harass me like this again...
and I'll sue you for defamation.
Don't take my picture. How dare you!
You're violating my rights.
- No, don't. Don't! - Stop that.
Those jerks.
Who are they to take photos of me like that?
Ma'am.
Get me a glass of ice water.
My gosh, are you insane?
Don't you know how strong this drink is?
No matter how much I drink, I'm still sober.
What?
I want to get drunk, but I just can't.
Life is unbearable to get by on a lucid mind.
Why is it difficult to live with a clear head?
Because it's embarrassing.
What is?
Everything.
My existence is a disgrace.
Head upstairs and sleep it off.
I don't want to deal with your drunken frenzy.
Right, I should.
But Mom...
Aren't you ashamed too?
About what?
Just as I am precious to you,
Woo Jae is precious to his mother too.
But you ruined his life overnight.
How does not being able to play golf...
count as a life-ruining event?
Mom, he's a professional golf player!
His dream was to make a name for himself,
earn enough money to care for his sick mother...
and buy himself a car and a house.
He then wanted to get married and start a family of his own.
He was a young man with many dreams,
but you trampled on them all!
So?
He refused to take the money I offered!
He refused to take it!
I can't believe I abandoned Woo Jae at the alter...
just so I could become the president of the darn company.
I must've been crazy.
How could I even think of leaving Woo Jae?
My gosh, seriously!
I might as well just overdose on sleeping pills...
like Aunt In Sook and just kill myself!
What did you just say?
How could you say that to your mother?
Do you want to see me faint and die?
I seriously just want to die.
Fine.
Let's die.
I'm also sick of all this.
So the two of us...
should just kill ourselves together.
- We'll both die together! - Stop it.
Let's just die! That's what you want!
Let's die!
I don't want to live either! So let's just kill ourselves!
Calm down. You should talk things out.
Stop crying.
Let's just die.
Woo Jae...
Ms. Geum, aren't you going home?
You guys can go home first.
I guess your boyfriend is going to pick you up.
It's nice to be in love.
Enjoy your date. We're going to go now.
Let's go.
- I'll see you tomorrow. - Okay.
Do you know Kang Jin Gu? He worked in accounting at Guseong Resort.
I'm Geum Bak Ha, his wife.
Why do you want to meet the chairman?
My husband...
would never steal money from the company.
There must be a mistake.
I'm sure he was framed.
What are you talking about?
The cops already investigated everything.
Just be relieved that we're not filing a claim for damages.
How...
How could she lie like that?
(Director Oh In Sook)
Hello?
It's me.
Can we meet?
It won't take long.
Come in.
Welcome.
Why did you want to meet me?
I wanted to tell you the truth...
before I went to the cops to turn myself in.
It just felt like the right thing to do.
You were right.
Your husband did nothing wrong.
He only did what I asked him to do.
- Ma'am. - I...
wanted Hae Jun to get appointed as the president of the company.
And in order to do that, I needed a slush fund.
I was the one who gave the orders.
And your husband...
only did what he was told.
I was going to have him stay in China...
until things calmed down after the tax investigation.
But a fire broke out that night at the warehouse.
It's all my fault.
What I did to you and your husband...
is unforgivable.
You killed my husband,
and you're going to end it with an apology?
That's not going to bring him back.
What can I do?
What can I do...
to make you feel a little better?
Bring him back.
I'll forgive you if you bring him back!
So bring him back.
You're a monster.
Why did my husband have to die because of you?
Why are you getting on your knees?
Do you think...
that's going to make me forgive you?
I'm going to sue you.
I'm going to sue you...
for killing my husband.
I won't ask you to forgive me.
How could I dare ask you to forgive me?
I'll pay for what I did.
And I'll regret what I did for the rest of my life.
What's going on?
I'm Detective Park Tae Hyun from Gusan Police Station.
Yes, I know. You came here last time.
You need to come with us for harming Kim Woo Jae.
I already settled everything with Kim Woo Jae.
Why do I need to go to the police station again?
You're under arrest for inciting assault...
regardless of whether you settled or not.
Come with us.
What's wrong with you?
The chairman will be home soon, so please wait.
- Get out of the way. - Wait.
I already gave a statement at the police station last time.
Why are you arresting me again?
I won't go with you.
Then we'll have to take you by force for obstruction of justice.
Okay, fine. I'll go.
I'll go with you.
Please get out of the way.
Call Father right now.
And call my lawyer.
May I help you?
I'm here to turn myself in.
Sorry?
I'm Director Oh In Sook of Guseong Gallery.
I...
embezzled our company funds.
The Northsky Group has asked for an extraordinary general meeting.
