(Episode 110)
Why did you come out alone?
Brad doesn't want to eat?
Your family is really something.
What?
Yes, Mr. Bang.
Right, yes. Of course.
Hold on. Just the two of us alone, Mr. Bang?
Sure.
Okay. Yes.
Then I'll see you tomorrow, Mr. Bang.
Bye.
Was that Father? Why does he want to see you?
Well, I guess I'll find out when I see him tomorrow.
By the way, what is it that you're reading?
It's Hyung Do's business plan.
I'm going through it to see if I can offer him some helpful advice.
Honey.
Yes?
Tell me honestly. What do you really want to do?
What do I really want to do?
You said you weren't interested in Bangsoo Construction.
I thought you meant it.
Let me ask you, then.
If I said I would quit teaching and start my own business,
would you be against the idea?
Yes.
I would if it was related to Bangsoo Construction.
Because you didn't make it happen with your abilities.
Father is just giving you the opportunity to help you out.
No, I don't agree with you.
Honey.
When and if such an opportunity presents itself,
I'm going to think it's because Mr. Bang...
recognizes my abilities, not because I'm Mom's son.
Nam Gu, do you really have to...
If he needs my help,
and if it is something I can do,
I want to do my best to help him.
That is how I really feel.
I get it. You genuinely want to help without a hidden agenda.
However, I'm sure others won't see it that way.
Who cares what others think, as long as I have nothing to hide?
Honey.
Okay, I'll be careful from now on.
Are we good now?
Jae Min.
Don't look at me like that. I'm really okay.
Don't tell me...
you left the company because of me.
Of course not.
This is something my parents and I have to figure out.
I was too naive.
There is a huge gap between what I want...
and what they expect of me.
But I had no idea.
Jae Min.
I'll take it easy for a while and gather my thoughts.
To figure out how I should live my life from now on...
and how I can protect you.
So don't worry too much.
I can figure this out.
(Seo Kang Rim Law Office)
(Resume)
(Song Pa Ran)
(Attorney Seo Kang Rim)
Why did you apply for this position when you didn't study law?
Because no one has applied yet.
There's no one to compete against, so I figured it'd be worth a shot.
Is that so?
Besides, I minored in law,
so I think I'm qualified.
But your GPA is so low.
A high GPA doesn't mean you're a good worker.
I didn't get good grades, but I can be good at my job.
Okay.
I'll think about it and let you know. Bye now.
What's there to think about?
I know that no one else has applied for the job.
Why are you so sure that there are no other applicants?
Because you're a cranky neat freak.
Who would want a boss like that?
Then why are you applying for this job?
Because I want to help you out as your in-law.
What did you want to talk about?
Goodness. Look at you playing dumb.
What are you talking about?
What is it that you want to say?
Father is updating his will.
You knew everything, didn't you?
- His will? - Yes.
He recently updated his will...
after he and Ms. Na got married.
So? What about it?
Get this.
He's planning to update it again.
After your husband attended the executive meeting...
and stirred up everyone in the company.
Don't you think something's very fishy here?
"Fishy"?
Watch what you say.
You planned all this, right?
Won Ju.
I don't know what gave you such an impression,
but I really didn't know about Father's will.
Of course, I knew you'd say that.
What?
Seo Cho Hee, we're at war now.
You and I. Your family versus mine.
Won Ju. Seriously, why are you being like this?
You'd better be prepared for what's coming...
because I will not let you beat me this time.
Won Ju.
Anyway,
that was what I wanted to say.
I'm done talking now, so I'll be off then.
Oh, right.
You can pay for my tea.
My goodness.
Gosh, my legs...
My legs were cramping so badly.
Can't the Crown Princess ask for sick leave or something?
Gosh, I'm exhausted.
Anyway...
I shall let my crystal ball perk me up...
for the steamy night ahead.
My crystal ball.
What? Where did it go?
Where is it?
Darn it!
Who stole my crystal ball?
Assemble all the court maids at once!
You little... Did you steal my crystal ball?
No, Your Highness. I've never even seen it.
How dare you lie to my face?
Bo Ri, you're the one who cleans my chamber.
It's her, isn't it?
Your Highness, Bo Ri would never touch what was not hers.
I truly know nothing about it, Your Highness!
As if.
I bet you wanted to seduce the Crown Prince...
to bear his son.
You probably thought he'd fall for that face of yours.
No, Your Highness. I don't even know what the crystal ball looks like.
Please believe me, Your Highness!
This won't do.
I shall twist your legs with my own hands to punish you!
You little...
Your Highness, you're grabbing her by the collar, not her legs!
I know. You stay out of this!
Where is it? Where is my crystal ball?
I really do not know, Your Highness!
Please calm down, Your Highness.
You cannot do this!
Tell me.
When did you start planning to seduce my husband?
I swear, the Crown Prince is not my type.
I cannot stand him.
I would rather die if I had to be with him!
What? You would rather die?
How dare you glare at me...
and insult the Crown Prince?
I shall teach you a lesson today.
Come here.
Your Highness!
Your Highness.
You must behave with dignity at all times!
My goodness. How dare you raise your voice at me?
You're married to a mere prince.
Hey, get lost.
Get lost at once!
"Get lost"?
Goodness. I've been trying to treat you with respect.
Ladies, lock the door.
Yes, Your Highness.
Where are you going?
Don't close the door!
Enough is enough.
Did you really have to yell at them...
because of some crystal ball?
And that crystal ball...
What?
I already...
No.
No...
No!
What is it? What's wrong, honey?
What was that? I have a bad feeling.
I'm getting a really bad feeling.
What?
What are you talking about?
Anyway, you woke up, so let's have dinner.
You were asleep, so Ms. Na made dinner.
Hold on a moment.
Why am I so tired today?
Did you not get a good night's sleep, Nam Gu?
Oh, I tossed and turned a little last night.
Mom, you may get another grandchild soon.
Don't tell me that conception dream was for Cho Hee.
Conception dream? Another one?
Darn it. I don't know!
- I don't know! - What's with you?
It's mine!
She's taking everything from me!
Has she really lost her mind?
Won Ju said that?
Yes. She thinks that Father is updating his will again...
because of you.
Do you still not care because your intentions are pure?
This was exactly what I was worried about.
I can't believe she thinks that way.
You know what?
I'd feel the same way if I were in her shoes.
Cho Hee.
Have you already forgotten...
why you were against Mother marrying Mr. Bang?
- What did I say? - You told me...
that you were worried Mother would be hurt.
"He's marrying her because he needs a woman to serve him."
"She seduced him for his money."
You were worried people would think that.
Right, I was.
You were worried about such criticism.
And look at what you're doing.
Everyone would misunderstand your intentions.
The more you get involved in Father's business,
the more people will misunderstand...
Mother's intentions as well as yours.
People will say you let her marry Mr. Bang...
because you were after his business from the get-go.
They'll think you working in the control room...
was all part of the plan.
I really don't want to see you...
get hurt by such rumors, honey.
Honey, what took you so long?
Come here, quick.
Hey, come on.
Come on, honey. Feed me.
Here.
Is it because you're feeding me?
It's so sweet.
I'm done.
I want one more.
One more. Pick a good one. Here.
Honey?
Did you take it to Kang Rim's room?
Yes, I did.
Where's Bo Ri?
No idea.
She's been stuck in her room. She hasn't come out once.
Is she studying?
I'll do it, Auntie Poong Geum.
It's okay. I'm done.
Sun Hae, go to your room.
Sorry?
Kang Rim is...
Go to your room, and you'll find out.
Okay.
- What's going on? - You don't need to know.
Bo Ri.
Come out and have some fruit.
No, thanks.
What's wrong? Did something happen?
Auntie Poong Geum.
What is it?
I feel like I'm making a big mistake.
What do you mean?
I feel like I'm ruining his future.
Hey.
Is everything okay between you and Mr. Yang?
Bo Ri.
Don't worry, Auntie Poong Geum. Go downstairs.
I'll join you in a moment.
(Cometome)
Hi, Ms. Seo. Come on in.
I heard you asked for me, Mr. Ko.
Congratulations, Chief Director Seo Cho Hee.
Pardon me?
The board doesn't want to leave the position vacant for too long.
So you'll be officially appointed soon.
Keep up the good work, Chief Director Seo Cho Hee.
What's with that look?
You don't seem excited about the promotion.
I am, of course.
I'll do my best.
Good. Let's continue to grow together.
Yes, thank you.
- Finally! - Congratulations, Ms. Seo!
Congratulations, Ms. Seo. I mean, Chief Director Seo Cho Hee.
Finally, you got a promotion.
Although this should've happened sooner.
What? How did you all find out?
Come on. Ro Mi knows everything.
Congratulations, Chief Director Seo Cho Hee.
My goodness.
Shouldn't we go out this evening and celebrate together?
Should I make a reservation, Chief Director Seo?
No, it's not official yet.
(Bangsoo Construction)
What?
What did you say?
Well, I know that it's a lot to ask.
I'd like you to join...
the company's board of advisors.
I always said I was too busy...
and neglected Hyung Do.
Then after his mother died, I felt sad and sorry for him,
so I just let him do what he wanted.
But ever since you started getting involved in the business,
he's completely changed.
No, I'm sure it's not because of me.
Well, in any case... As his father,
I want to help him establish himself in the business.
That said, would you be able...
to help him out...
while serving on the board of advisors?
If you need my help, I'll be happy to help out behind the scenes.
My gosh. Thank you, Professor Kang.
But I have something to tell you as well.
Sure, go ahead.
Thank you for the offer to join the board of advisors,
but I can't accept the offer.
I must decline.
I hope you don't get me wrong.
I'm not offering it to you...
because of Hyung Do.
It was actually suggested...
by the executives, who surely recognize your abilities.
Mr. Bang.
As you know, I must return to school in a few months.
Right, I know. But I must still ask you to consider.
If that is what you want, I respect your decision.
But as a businessman,
I'd hate to see your talents and abilities go to waste.
To be honest, I'd love it if you could join the company.
The more you get involved in Father's business,
the more people will misunderstand...
Mother's intentions as well as yours.
What should I do?
(Parking Attendant)
- Nam Gu, what are you doing here? - Hey.
Nam Gu, it's still cold out. You'll catch a cold.
Oh, I wanted to collect my thoughts on something.
Collect your thoughts? On what?
Nam Gu, you look upset. What's wrong?
Nothing. I'm fine.
Are you worried about something?
No, not at all.
Mom, why is my Gangnam sister-in-law not here today?
Oh, she said she wasn't feeling well.
She's clearly faking it.
I didn't think she'd last long anyway.
She's already slacking off because she doesn't want to work.
She could really be feeling under the weather.
Anyway, we can be together like this thanks to Bangsoo Construction.
I get to see you and Mom every day.
Mom, do you want a piggyback? Here.
No, stop it.
- Come on. - What's with you?
- Stop it. Hey! - Come on. Get on my back.
- Stop. Don't be silly. - Come on.
- Goodness. - Let me give you a piggyback.
Come on.
Honey.
I guess Ri An and Seok Gu went out with Pa Ran.
Yes. She suddenly offered to take them out for burgers.
Maybe she has something to celebrate.
Maybe.
Honey.
I have something to tell you.
I'm getting...
What is it?
Who is it? Ri An wouldn't be back so soon.
I don't know.
- Ms. Seo! - We're here!
Congratulations again!
What are you doing here? You didn't even call me.
We decided we had to celebrate this happy day.
So I called everyone here to surprise you.
I see. Thank you.
And even after you're promoted to chief director,
please don't forget that you'll always be part of our team.
Of course, I won't forget.
My gosh, hello.
We're sorry to barge in unannounced.
- Sorry. - We apologize.
Don't worry about it.
But you two seem a little...
Why? We're fine.
Thank you so much for coming. Thank you!
Honey.
What?
Cho Hee is very lucky to have co-workers...
who'd come all the way here to congratulate her.
Ms. Seo is very popular.
Everyone says she'll be Cometome's next CEO.
- My goodness. - Really?
No, they're just joking.
What's with you guys? Don't be silly.
What? It's true. You'll be our next CEO.
Well, please take a seat. Did you have dinner?
Honey, we should bring out some refreshments for your guests.
Oh, right. Take a seat.
No, it's okay. We've eaten.
Could we just have some water?
Sure. They want water.
Make yourselves at home.
- Sorry to visit you so late. - Sorry.
We'll be quiet.
- What a nice place! - It's so nice.
- Right? - My gosh.
This is really cool.
- Ms. Seo has such good taste. - I know.
I actually...
I want to see it.
- Me too. - Me too.
- It's different. - Yes.
- Can we do that? - Yes.
- We should. - Let's do it.
I found out about the promotion today.
They haven't made it official yet,
so I was going to tell you later.
I'm sorry you found out like this.
So you're the chief director of the company now?
My gosh. My wife is so cool.
Honey.
Don't worry about it. Just enjoy it...
because you definitely deserve it.
When it's officially announced,
we should tell our mothers...
and celebrate with everyone.
Okay, let's do that.
Go attend to your guests. It's rude to leave them alone.
Come with me.
It'll make them uncomfortable.
Have fun with your co-workers.
Okay.
Honey.
Yes?
Congratulations.
Congratulations on your promotion, Cho Hee.
Thanks, honey.
Are you still asleep, Ri An?
No, I'm up.
Good morning, Mom.
Morning. Did you have a good night's sleep, Ri An?
Yes.
Wash up quickly and get ready for school.
Okay, Mom.
Hi, honey.
Are you going to work already?
Have some food before you leave. Breakfast is ready.
I'm not going to work today.
Why not?
I'll be away for a few days.
Honey.
(The All-Round Wife)
Chief Director Seo Cho Hee. Finally.
He's probably taking a little trip to clear his head.
- What? - Did something happen?
I should laugh more and eat better at times like this.
"At times like this"?
Nam Gu ran away.
Let's go find him.
I told you I wouldn't just sit back and watch.
Then what? What will you do?
