(Episode 85)
Dad. Am I doing the right thing?
Watch over Eui Ju for me.
I want to protect him at least.
Oh, how about we do this?
What if we were to prove Director Yeo has no problem running the company?
Just a few tests should suffice.
Don't you agree, Director Yeo? It's no big deal.
You did hurt your brain,
so we can't say for sure you don't have a cognitive disorder.
Shouldn't you prove you're qualified to run the company?
Aren't I right?
Are you all saying you'll go against the chairwoman's instructions?
Very well. I'll take that into account.
I can prove whether I'm capable of running the company.
I don't think I should be tested physically.
Why not ask questions about my new business plan instead?
So you won't get medically tested?
Didn't you stop to think how much...
our stock price would drop if the evening news...
were to report that our acting chairman was medically incompetent?
You refuse to get a few tests done for the company's benefit?
Why should I play along with a nitpicker?
I'd rather catch up with work.
Why on earth are journalists present at this meeting?
That's what I'd like to know.
This meeting is for Masung Group's executives.
I get how concerned you are for the company's future.
But if you question my eligibility any further,
I'll take that as a challenge against me and Chairwoman Hwang...
and treat you accordingly.
So he won't get a checkup.
I hope there's no problem. I'm worried too.
He has an older brother.
What if there's something wrong?
The chairwoman must have a plan.
The reason why Grandma ended up unconscious.
I have a feeling the missing video has the answer. Don't you?
If it was Mother who hurt Grandma,
there's no way she'll leave Yeo Eui Ju alone.
Are you really unwell or what?
You saw how the meeting went. I'm drained.
Even a sane person would go mad.
Why did you take the position, then?
My mother won't stop until you step down.
You'll just...
become a puppet,
and the old fools will do as she says.
So what?
Should I just give up?
I might not have amazing powers, but I don't give up without trying.
So you'll keep going?
Do as you wish.
Oh, gosh.
Do you think something is actually wrong with him?
He has no memory of recent events.
That alone is a cause for disqualification.
It is.
You managed to gain the upper hand.
I should buy more stock.
I might as well increase my share of the pie.
Why are you giving me that look?
The chairwoman is unconscious. Why should I bother following protocol?
Considering how Woo Jin is acting up,
I have no hope whatsoever.
You'll become chairperson without a care in the world?
So...
What happens to Director Joo?
He'll live the way he always did.
That seems to be what he wants.
It's not what Hye Ra wants, though.
What does that mean?
Why do you think she's trying so hard to stick around?
She wants Woo Jin to become CEO so she can look fancy.
Don't say that.
Hye Ra is serious about Woo Jin. I can say that much.
My gosh.
Yong Su Jeong did what with whom?
Are you going deaf?
Yong Su Jeong married Yeo Eui Ju.
But Woo Jin used to...
No, wait.
That's not what is important.
Let's figure this out.
The chairwoman pushed aside her older heir...
to give the house and company to Dimwit's son, and he...
married Yong Su Jeong?
He isn't the owner yet. He has power of attorney.
It's the same thing.
Oh, my head hurts.
All that hard work is about to become a waste.
Forget it.
Mother won't let that happen.
You know she's not like that.
Hye Ra.
What if Yong Su Jeong persuades Dimwit's son...
to send me right back to the Prosecutors' Office?
Don't.
I told you that you were safe now.
Woo Jin is about to be replaced by his long-lost brother.
Hye Ra.
You need to put her in her place.
You married the older brother.
Do you know what I'm saying?
I do.
Mother told me to keep an eye on Su Jeong.
She walked into the lion's den, so I'll give her a taste of it.
Yes, you do that. And then give birth to a smart kid.
It'll be game over.
And...
This little thing will be our blessing and lifeline.
Ask the doctor if it's a boy or a girl.
What for?
Who cares about gender these days?
Did the meeting go well?
Was there a problem?
No. Did you get home safely?
Yes. Your mother keeps feeding me. I might gain weight.
We'll throw a welcome party. Come home early.
I'll come home as soon as I'm off.
Bye.
Why is this happening?
I just had rice cakes, and now you're giving me fruits?
It's best to eat when you can.
Come on. Have this.
Ms. Lee. Would you like to go somewhere?
What?
Let's go out. Shall I buy you some clothes?
No. I have lots of clothes.
Buy me short ribs instead of clothes.
Short ribs?
I'll cook braised ribs for everyone.
Okay. Let's go.
I'm home.
Are you living with us now?
Yes. Did you study hard, Ha Min?
Yes. The teacher praised me for writing a nice story.
Did she really? What did you write about?
I wrote about meeting my mom and grandma in a dream.
- It must've been nice. - It was.
Wash your hands and eat your snack.
Auntie and I will get groceries.
I want to go with you.
Auntie, can I come too?
Ha Min, isn't it time to practice your violin? Go upstairs.
Ha Min has a busy schedule.
Don't waste her time chatting with her.
Goodness. She's a little witch.
Practice your violin. Is there anything you'd like?
Tteokbokki. I love tteokbokki.
Don't feed her just anything.
What if she gets sick after eating cheap market food?
Ha Min, come with me.
Shall I scold her?
You're not allowed to go grocery shopping. Do you understand?
I went grocery shopping often with my other grandma.
You can't go anymore.
Don't you want your mom's photo back?
Ha Min, let's go grocery shopping.
You can practice after you get back.
What are you doing?
Let go of her hand.
I can't.
I don't want to leave her with a mean sister-in-law like you.
- Wait downstairs for me. - Okay.
Yong Su Jeong. Do you think that little about your in-laws?
- How dare you... - What? "How dare you?"
Don't you know we're sisters-in-law now?
Learn some manners.
Painkillers only dull the pain.
Don't make things worse.
If you can't be admitted, take oral medication at least.
The tumor is growing fast.
Hey.
Why are you here?
Where did you go on your first day as acting chairman?
I had some business...
What are you doing here?
Mother said you weren't very well this morning.
Is something wrong?
I've been busy recently. I must've been exhausted.
Hearing you call Mom "Mother" makes our marriage feel more real.
Mr. Kook filled me in.
Ms. Min called journalists to the meeting?
She wants to use my condition...
to rile up the executives, but I don't care.
She'll mention the stock price to upset the shareholders too.
- That's why... - Get me reinstated.
I was about to say just that.
Yes. It's best that I stay around.
I can keep an eye on the nasty bunch and help you too.
Here.
They're the chairwoman's allies. Bring them to your side.
This is so reassuring.
Run everything by me from now on, okay?
You must be leaving work.
We could all go home together.
What?
Su Jeong moved in today.
And she'll come to work with me tomorrow.
Who says she can work here?
Isn't an acting chairman allowed to hire staff?
We need someone to run the home shopping business in my place.
You know how good she is at that.
She just won't give up or go down.
What a mess.
Welcome home, Mother.
Have dinner first. Everything is ready.
I'm not hungry.
Is something wrong?
We're home.
Why are you walking in together?
We got off work together.
Mother, we're home.
What do you mean she "got off work?"
It means just that. I made her Director of Home Shopping.
It's what she does best.
Did you hear? How can Yong Su Jeong be Director of Home Shopping?
Did Mother approve?
Did Mother not do anything while Yeo Eui Ju made her a director?
What chairman needs a CEO's approval?
It's none of your business. Don't kick up a fuss.
Where are you going now?
Woo Jin.
Darn it.
Yong Su Jeong. Eat this. You like this.
Yes, Mother.
- Ha Min, you like eggs. - Yes.
Why won't you give me anything? Am I supposed to eat just whatever?
Here. Have some braised ribs.
Mother made it to boost your energy, so eat lots.
You're like a child, Uncle.
Yong Su...
- Sorry. Su Jeong. - Yes?
You can't call Eui Ju by his name now.
Married couples should watch what they call each other.
When did you become so exact, Mom?
I watched all the videos Ha Min showed me.
"Hey, Daughter-in-law."
"How dare you call your husband by his name?"
Ha Min. What videos did you let her watch?
Yes, Mother. I won't call him by his name.
Mother. Won't you have dinner?
No. I said I wasn't hungry.
I heard Yong Su Jeong was made a director.
You must be so upset.
Me?
I bet it was more of a shock to you.
Are you worried Woo Jin will lose his share to Yeo Eui Ju?
It's not about me or my greed. I'm angry, to be honest.
You, Woo Jin, and me.
Why should we be treated like this?
You won't let them go on, will you?
It's just for a while.
It's possible Eui Ju might throw in the towel first.
If that is to happen, I need you to play a big role.
I'm not sure if you can.
Yong Su Jeong. I told you to watch her.
How about you consider coming back to work?
Before your belly gets too big.
- Yes, Mother. - Start work tomorrow.
Watch her every move and report to me in detail.
I'll do that. Don't worry.
I think...
It's best if I sleep on the floor.
What are you talking about?
Did you propose to me to treat me like this?
Are you not sure you can stop at just holding hands?
No, I'm not.
I'd feel better if I were to sleep on the floor.
Then take the bed. Mother will scold me if I let you sleep on the floor.
- Is that how you address me? - What?
Didn't you hear what Mother said?
She's putting you in your place, so try to keep up.
Old habits die hard.
What should I call you, then?
"Chairman?"
How about "sweetie?" Or "darling?"
Are you crazy?
See? This is why it matters what couples call each other.
What will you call me, then?
Am I still "Brother Yong?"
What will I call you?
Honey.
Don't.
Mom! My honey is hitting me!
- Mom! My honey... - Be quiet.
Honey.
Mom, she won't even let me talk!
- Honey! - Don't.
Be quiet.
- Honey. - Stop it.
- I can't stand them. - I'm whispering.
Mom!
I start work today too.
Mother told me to.
I'll do my best without risking my health.
You should sleep in here.
Why?
Are you worried about what Su Jeong and Eui Ju will think?
You know as much?
Why do you care about what others think...
when you do whatever you want?
You contradict yourself.
Is Woo Jin not ready yet?
Sorry we're late, Mother.
It's fine.
It's refreshing to think the five of us will live...
and work together from now on.
You insist on living here,
and you insist on working at Masung.
What choice do we have...
but to all try...
and get along?
Yes, Auntie. It will all go very well.
Will you get your husband to agree to a physical checkup?
He just might ruin the company.
Masung Group suddenly announced...
they now worked under an acting chairman.
Chairwoman Hwang Jae Rim is rumored to be unwell,
and MS Homeshopping's Director Yeo Eui Ju was appointed acting chairman.
Concerns over Hwang's younger grandson's inexperience...
and doubts about his health...
caused Masung's stock price...
to plummet as soon as the market opened this morning.
Don't mind that. Rumors like this...
Even a small rumor can affect stock prices.
Ms. Min is trying to use your amnesia against you.
Wouldn't it be best to prove you're fine?
Yes, I understand. Calm down.
Yes. I'll see to it that Director Yeo gets tested.
Give me a little time.
Of course. Goodbye.
Don't put through any more calls.
My gosh.
How many times must I say the same thing?
It's because you're the only one they can rely on.
I bet Yeo Eui Ju got jolted.
It would be weird if he refused to get a checkup even in this situation.
I'll talk to him.
- You will? - This needs to be sorted out.
Let's see how well he is.
Okay.
If he agrees to the checkup, be sure to get the report first-hand.
Amnesia. What kind of illness is that?
Doesn't that sound suspicious already?
This is too big a crisis.
The best solution would be to take her head-on.
Get up. Let's get you tested.
How much harm will you cause the company?
Do you want Masung gone now that Grandma is ill?
If you're not unwell, get tested.
Are you actually not well?
No.
Let's go.
Like husband, like wife.
The husband halved our stock price,
and the wife is slacking off on her first day.
It's just ridiculous.
Ms. Choi. This is where we work.
Watch your tone.
You'll use your position against me?
Stop talking nonsense and report anything work-related instead.
Are you standing guard in case I run away?
Yeo Eui Ju, you can come in.
Yeo Eui Ju?
Yes.
Come with me.
(Changing Room)
(Director Yong Su Jeong)
The results will be out soon.
Try not to get on my mother's nerves.
Learn to play along to a certain extent.
Why are you doing this?
You must know better than I do.
The doors are closing.
Hey, I...
How did it go? Are the results out?
Is everything okay?
There are no issues.
The injury from the accident healed well,
and his brain MRI, CT, and blood tests are all clear.
Why did he refuse to get checked, then?
I bet it was an ego thing.
Release the results to the press.
We need to bring the stock price back up.
Let's talk now.
Tell me.
What exactly is wrong with you?
Yeo Eui Ju.
(The Brave Yong Su Jeong)
I had it sequestered with an order of payment.
I'll make you pay for what you did.
Don't just sit there. Call your dad.
Tell him to come home.
Why doesn't he care for you when you're carrying his baby?
Is it because of Yong Su Jeong?
Ms. Min took the chairwoman home.
Do you think she is up to something?
Pack up and leave my house.
I'm done with you.
