- What happened? - You can't go in.
Did anyone get hurt?
(Episode 43)
Did you guys get badly hurt?
Ji Eun didn't get hurt.
I'm okay, sir.
You should take her to the hospital.
Why are you laughing?
Do you know how funny you were earlier?
You kept tapping the flames off my arm...
without knowing that the sprinklers had come on.
You totally looked out of it.
How could you say that?
You almost died, Jung Min.
All because of me.
I already died...
the moment you turned your back on me.
But I'm back alive though.
My gosh.
You'd better hold my hand later on...
when the doctor gives me a shot.
They were fixing the sprinklers when the fire broke out.
But we'll have to investigate the area...
to find out what caused the fire and where.
Okay.
We might need a witness statement,
so the person in charge and the two people who were here...
will have to come by to the police station.
Okay. Thank you.
What's with that look on your face?
Ji Eun almost died because a fire broke out in the textile factory.
Which hospital did she go to?
I got a text, but I don't know.
My mind completely went blank, so I couldn't read it properly.
- Give me your cell phone. - My cell phone?
I think I left it at home.
You said she almost died, so that means she's alive.
Ji Eun will be fine, so don't worry.
First, let's go home and...
No, actually...
Let's call Seorin Group and ask someone in the company.
Let's go. Let's go to the hospital.
Come on.
- Gosh. - You're all done now.
The burn isn't that severe.
But it could cause pain, edema,
or infection.
So I'll give you some antibiotics.
I'm sure you were both shocked.
So you should also get an IV.
Don't ignore me because I'm filthy.
I might just for a little bit.
What's wrong? Are you okay?
No, not there. Right here.
I think a kiss will help me relieve the pain.
Gosh, you really are sly.
I'm a mess, aren't I?
You look beautiful even now.
(Seorin)
I got a call saying Director Seo is okay.
He's at the hospital right now.
If he's at the hospital, that means he's not okay.
What were the security staff doing?
What if something happened to my son?
Calm down, sir.
An article got published...
saying Director Seo saved a female employee.
And that led to other articles explaining about the moving story...
of how brave the chairman's son was.
Sir.
The damage due to the fire adds up to 25 million dollars.
I know luck isn't what determines the success of a business,
but you can't say it doesn't matter.
And people bring in different kinds of luck.
I can't believe this happened before we even launched the joint brand.
This is going to make us suffer a big loss.
How do you plan to deal with this?
We have 18 million dollars' worth of insurance,
so that will compensate for the loss.
Then what about the remaining seven million?
I don't know what to say, sir.
I expect the new brand to make double the expected profit.
If that fails, I want you to resign.
Okay, sir.
I want you to fire the head of the factory.
And fire all the security staff too.
Can't you forgive them, sir?
Let's have them write a written apology and discipline...
"Forgive them"?
Why have you become so talkative these days?
Sitting here isn't going to help us make more money.
If you fail to come up with a plan to compensate for the loss,
you'll all get fired.
Now get out.
I don't even want to look at you.
Honey, you must've been shocked.
Jung Min called me just now.
- Let's go to the hospital. - Why would I go there...
and see him with Ji Eun?
Don't be emotional about it.
Your one and only son is at the hospital.
You should go there and see how he's doing.
He's my one and only son.
That's why I'm trying hard to suppress my anger right now.
You should go to the hospital by yourself.
This is starting to worry me.
The fact that Jung Min jumped into the fire to save Ji Eun...
means he loves her enough to even die for her.
What are you going to do now?
Marriage is about becoming a family.
And Ji Eun can never become a member of our family.
Did something bad happen between you and her family?
Nothing happened.
Why would you talk such nonsense?
If there's anything you need to hide or cover up,
just discuss it with me.
Will you stop being so absurd?
I'm just worried. That's all.
You don't have to be worried.
Then let me ask you a favor.
Don't say anything to Jung Min once he comes home.
If you get angry at him again, you might regret it later on.
Ji Eun.
Ji Eun, are you sleeping?
They say things change in an instant,
and it looks like that's what happened to us today.
From now on, I won't ever...
let you run away from me again, Ji Eun.
Why are you staring at me when I'm sleeping?
- Do you want to know something? - What?
Ji Eun.
You snored like crazy.
Really?
No, I'm kidding.
Is it fun to make fun of me?
Do you know how cute you look...
every time your upper lip goes up like that?
Will you stop smiling?
It's as if something's wrong with you.
Are you crazy? We're at a hospital.
When you're in love, you naturally go crazy.
This is a public place.
You should know that.
Go back to your bed.
If you move while getting an IV, it'll cause swelling.
Go back to your bed.
Can't I lie down next to you?
My gosh, you're unbelievable.
I guess I need to train you in order to make you listen.
You really are scary.
Now you're back to being the old you.
Go back to your bed.
Okay, I will.
I should listen to you in order to receive a lot of love.
Back when I saw you, Manager Choi...
Do you still think I'm the manager?
I'm sorry, ma'am.
You should've been more careful.
It's best that we don't run into each other,
but it's a pity that we keep meeting like this.
Please be kind to my daughter.
Forget about all our bad memories.
You even grabbed me by my hair.
That kind of stuff isn't easy to forget.
Let's say I forgive you...
even if you never apologized.
But I will still be reminded of it.
Some people are just better off never meeting each other again.
He's the owner of the restaurant I work at.
I was really out of it, so he came with me.
You work at a restaurant?
I have to help out with making a living.
You know it won't be easy for her to keep seeing Jung Min, right?
I'm acquainted with Chairman Seo.
So I plan to visit him one day.
Don't get involved.
He won't meet you in the first place.
And your situation has changed now,
so he won't change his mind...
no matter how much you plead him. You know that.
But then again, you were always reckless.
Keep listening even if it offends you.
I'm obviously not fond of you.
I may not have given birth to Jung Min,
but the entire world knows that he's my son.
And my son isn't very canny.
Yes, I know.
He has a great character.
The human greed is endless and never-ending.
And I know very well how greedy you can be.
So if you really want Jung Min and Ji Eun to get married,
you should let go of your greed first.
I don't expect anything.
We'll see about that.
It's going to be a hassle if we all enter at once.
So I'll go inside first.
You're acquainted with Director Seo's stepmother?
It's an ill-fated relationship.
I don't know what happened,
but the person who caused things to go wrong...
is the only one who can fix it.
I feel like my head is going to explode.
Gosh, my darn life.
I can't believe I got so humiliated.
I should've at least gotten changed before coming here.
They say a woman's fate is determined by whom she marries.
Manager Choi seems to be doing so well...
now that she's married to a rich man.
There's nothing special about her.
It's not like she eats four meals a day just because she's rich.
Don't be bothered to get jealous.
I'm not jealous.
I just feel so sorry for myself.
Why can't I stop crying?
Don't cry.
I know.
But I can't stop crying because I feel so sad.
Why are you sad?
The sun always rises again.
And you never know what will happen in life.
One day, your life could change all of a sudden.
That will never happen to me.
Every day is always the same.
I'll just keep living like this and die.
Always stay positive, blessed, and hopeful.
The more money you have,
the more you'll get tested in life.
Your father was very worried.
Ji Eun, I'm glad you're okay.
I'm sorry for worrying you.
Why did you come?
I called and told you I'm okay.
I'm your mother, so it's only right that I come.
I brought you new clothes.
You should go get changed...
so you can take Ji Eun home.
Mr. Park has the car ready in the parking lot.
Okay. Thank you.
I'll be right back, Ji Eun.
I don't want to be harsh to you as well,
but let me say a few things.
I'm sure you already know...
that you're not in a very favorable position.
And things might not go your way.
I'm ready to endure everything.
You need to learn to shut your mouth.
It looks like your confidence...
is what made Jung Min fall for you.
But I personally think being confident...
is pretty much the same as being daring.
The chairman is putting up with you...
because Jung Min is his only son.
But he won't put up with you forever.
He won't be able to stop you guys from dating,
but if you try to marry him,
you'll find yourself in a pickle.
Don't ever forget that.
Smile. Jung Min is coming.
I want us to be bound to each other by law.
I won't run away.
I'm going to be your stalker.
Thank you for being my man.
What are you thinking about?
Something useless.
Se Hoon, we've been friends forever.
What is it that you want to say?
Apparently, 70 percent of our psychology is based on emotions,
and the other 30 percent is based on reason.
I understand how you feel to a certain extent,
but it's a waste of time to still have feelings left for Ji Eun.
"A waste of time"?
Time is always the problem.
Ho Jin.
The stuff we go through in life can be so peculiar at times.
If I knew Director Seo and Ji Eun were going to become a thing,
I never would've come back to Korea.
And I never would've accepted this position at Seorin.
You know how to take care of yourself.
So get yourself together.
Every relationship has an ending.
And your relationship with Ji Eun ended ages ago.
On top of that, you're in a dilemma...
at Seorin right now.
Chairman Seo knows how to turn a crisis into an opportunity.
So I'm sure he has something up his sleeve.
I don't care that he won't give me enough authority as the CEO.
But I'm not okay with breaking the law.
I know all companies...
break the law every once in a while.
But Chairman Seo is starting to get out of hand...
after he appointed you as the CEO.
He's more interested in making money...
rather than building a company.
In order to prevent myself from getting swayed by him,
I'll have to limit the conflicts I have with him.
I'll just act like I'm doing what he wants.
It's all useless once we die.
So I don't want to live a difficult life.
Why isn't he coming home?
He'll be home after he drops Ji Eun off.
He must be happy.
Please don't provoke Jung Min today.
Bring me some pills for my headache.
You seem to have headaches quite often these days.
That's not the only part that aches.
My entire body is rotting inside because I'm so angry.
Last year, when you got your medical checkup,
Dr. Kim told me you were fine.
Do you want there to be something wrong?
I get that you're angry about all this,
but you're starting to make me feel upset.
You tell me to stay out of it...
saying Jung Min is your son.
You keep making me feel like I'm not part of this family.
Just go and bring me the medicine.
Ji Eun told me...
that she's ready to endure everything.
It looks like she won't budge no matter how much you disapprove,
so I'm quite worried.
Jung Min.
You know I really like you, right?
I bet I like you even more.
It's true that I want you to become...
my son-in-law.
But I'm starting to get worried now that I've met your stepmother.
She promised to take my side.
You must not know women very well.
I know your stepmother a bit.
This was ages ago, so I barely remember much,
but she used to work as a curator at my gallery.
Yes, I heard.
I don't have the best character,
but I'm always the same inside and out.
But as for your stepmother, she may act all noble,
but it's hard to know what she's thinking.
Mom, don't badmouth her.
I'm telling him not to trust her that much.
Are you off to the restaurant?
Yes, I should drop by.
I need to thank Mr. Kang for today.
He closed his restaurant...
and came with me to the hospital.
Mother.
Can I have some tea before I go?
Of course. I'm sure you guys need to talk.
And I'll keep the promise I made.
I'll make sure my family welcomes Ji Eun.
And you remember how I told you...
to trust me and leave me to take care of everything, right?
Yes.
I also let you come here because I trust you.
I'll leave you guys to talk then.
Your mother seemed to treat me a bit differently...
compared to before.
Is she not on good terms with my stepmother?
They're in different situations now,
so I think my mom's just a little disturbed.
I'll be good to your mother.
I'll also try hard.
I know your father won't be happy with me,
but I'll endure it.
And when things get hard, I might rant...
and get angry at you.
I'll put up with it all.
So promise me...
that you won't fight with your father.
Don't defy him no matter how angry you are.
He can get angry at me all he wants,
but I won't be able to stand it if he hurts you.
I just won't.
Gosh, do you not get it?
Didn't you ever read "The Art of War"?
You need to win without a fight.
It looks like you're ready to fight.
When I put my mind to something, I never give up.
And now that you know how I feel about you,
I'm no longer going to hide it.
I didn't fall for you because you're pretty.
And I didn't fall in love because you're nice.
Then why do you love me?
I'm not going to tell you...
so that you'll remain curious by my side forever.
It's time to say goodbye now.
So give me one last hug.
We took a few days off,
and tomorrow is Christmas eve.
What should we do?
What do you want to do?
I just want to lie in bed with you all day.
It'd be nice if we could get a bit closer.
Gosh, you're an awful guy.
You're so sneaky.
You're so cunning.
Do you think your mother will be home late?
(News)
(No Wi-Fi connection)
(Wi-Fi)
Yes, I think I have a cold.
I'm going to stay home and rest.
By the way,
Na Kyung told me...
that a fire broke out at the textile factory.
Everyone on the web and social media...
are talking as if Jung Min is some kind of a hero.
Things must be a headache for you.
It's an emergency.
I won't be able to meet you that often.
Are you sure the fire was an accident?
Who knows?
Maybe Jung Min did it on purpose...
to put you at risk and get you kicked out.
I mean, it's absurd.
How could he risk his life and jump into the fire...
just so he could save Ji Eun?
You should look into it.
Jung Min might've planned it all.
People tend to see what they believe.
It's true that I don't like him,
but he's not the type to do something like that.
Conglomerates would never get their hands dirty like that.
I'm too busy to take good care of you these days.
Sure.
Let's meet in a few days.
Make sure you keep it a secret.
Get out of the car and bring me my wheelchair.
Okay, ma'am.
I thought you were going to stay home...
because of your cold.
I forgot that I have aquatic therapy today.
You know I should never miss it.
But how did you know that I'd be here?
I had a feeling that you might come.
I have an appointment nearby,
and I have some time before that to join you for the therapy.
You still remember what days I receive therapy?
How could I forget?
This is why I can't let you go.
You're running late. Let's go.
It's been ages since I've been in a pool with you.
I remember how we used to swim together every morning...
at the Ritz-Carlton before I got into an accident.
I bet you don't know...
that I drove two hours to meet you there.
As I drove over the Brooklyn Bridge every day at dawn,
I told myself...
to keep you by my side forever.
But of course, I had no idea that my accident would end up...
being that reason.
Who knows? You might be able to walk again.
I've given up, so that means there's no more hope.
Is something uncomfortable?
You seem tired, so let's call it a day.
It hasn't even been 10 minutes since we came inside.
We should finish the therapy session.
If I let go,
you'll sink, right?
You'd never do that to me.
I could.
Will, stop joking around.
You think I'm joking around?
Is that what you think this is?
Mi Ran.
That's enough.
Mi Ran.
It's over now.
(Phoenix 2020)
I'll pray for you,
and I'll always be your one and only.
I promise I'll be good to you.
I, Seo Jung Min, promise to be good to you too.
You knew that I could walk.
I won't let you go. If you want to go, kill me first.
