Bride of the Century

Episode 9

Oh no!

Here.

You... are the first person I ever gave my heart to.

I'd like it if we never run into each other again.

You two are already broken up.

Goodbye, Mr. Choi Kang Ju.

Don't go!

I love you.

I love you.

Are you dumb?

Why can't you understand me?

I... don't believe all that.

None of it matters to me.

Don't throw yourself away because of me...

Grandma, it's this way.

Na Doo Rim!

- Doo Rim! - Doo Rim!

- Are you okay? - Are you okay?

Doo Rim! What's wrong with her?

- Doo Rim! - What happened?

Doo Rim, what's wrong?

What about grandma?

I walked her out.

Thank you Jin Joo.

Na Doo Rim.

You...

Don't do it anymore.

Liking Choi Kang Ju.

Don't like him anymore.

I don't want you to do it.

Look at yourself.

The only thing you can do is to cry yourself to the point of exhaustion.

Fine. It's totally possible.

It's understandable that you grew feelings for Choi

Kang Ju after spending so much time with him.

He's good-looking... rich...

Plus he's smart, so it would be weird if you didn't fall for him.

But you're not Jang Yi Kyung.

Na Doo Rim isn't allowed to like Choi Kang Ju.

Why not?

Because I'm not rich, pretty or smart?

Is that why?

Dummy, I don't want it to get any harder for you.

Do you think you can lie to him forever?

When the truth comes out later and

Choi Kang Ju says he doesn't want you anymore

and to stay away... what are you going to do?

Jin Joo...

But I still want to hold onto Choi Kang Ju so much.

I want to hold on to him so so much.

If I could, I want to spend the rest of my life with him.

Ms. Kim! Ms. Kim!

What is it? What has you so worked up?

Please come out now!

Kang Ju is... What do we do?

Kang Ju! What are you doing?

Stop it! What's wrong?

What are you doing?

Leave me alone! I'm about to go crazy!

You foolish boy!

Honey!

Fool...

You can't even control your own emotions

so how are you expecting to accept someone else's heart?

If you are trapped by illusions and you don't

have the courage to overcome your fears

then walk away from all this right now!

What are you doing? Come with me.

Why did you call Choi Kang Ju?

What were you thinking?

What do you mean what was I thinking?

I felt bad for Doo Rim so I thought they could say goodbye.

I don't understand why you went out of your way to do that! Why?

Stop it Yi Hyun!

What did mom do that was so wrong?

Why are you getting mad at her?

Stay out of it. You don't know anything.

What do I not know?

You're getting mad because of Doo Rim right now.

All because of none other than Doo Rim.

How can you do this to mom?

And you're clear now too, aren't you, Yi Hyun?

Where Doo Rim's heart lies?

It sounds as though you did it to make me get over Doo Rim.

Regardless, I'd like this to be the last time

we raise our voices at each other over Doo Rim.

I can't figure out what you're thinking.

I can't help but to wonder if you called him for other reasons.

What do you mean other reasons?

If you were trying to make me get over her

there are plenty of other ways you could have gone about it.

- I told you. I... - You felt bad for Doo Rim?

Sure. We can say that's what it was.

Mom...

You don't have to worry.

Mr. Park, it's me. I need you to look into something without anyone knowing.

Ms. Ma, it's me.

Where the heck are you going?

Can I go with you?

I have to go somewhere really quick.

Don't worry about me and go wait for me at the restaurant.

How are you feeling?

I'm okay now.

So what is it that you wanted to talk to me about?

Nobody's home. Tell me what it is.

What is it?

I'd like to make a deal with you.

You have nothing to lose from the deal.

I'd like if you could hear me out and agree to what I'm asking for.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

Explain so I can understand.

I'd like to be Choi Kang Ju's bride.

What?

I want to be his bride.

Even if I live as his wife for one day.

No. Absolutely not!

You wanted this marriage to happen too.

You have nothing to lose.

You'll lose your life. How do I not have anything to lose?

It doesn't matter to me.

Even if I lose my life.

How can I let you when it's clear something will happen to you?

I cannot accept the deal.

- Ms. Ma! - I'll pretend I didn't hear anything.

You should leave now.

Please, I beg you!

I don't think I can live without Kang Ju.

Please let me remain by Kang Ju's side.

Do you understand how dangerous this is?

Are you confident that no matter what you will not change your mind?

But if for some reason nothing happens to me

then let me continue to stay by Kang Ju's side.

Please give me a chance to tell Kang Ju the truth.

Let me stand next to Kang Ju not as Jang Yi Kyung but as Na Doo Rim.

Do you think Kang Ju will be okay with that?

I don't want to lie to him anymore.

Even if Kang Ju leaves me I want to tell him the truth.

Will you let me do that?

We didn't even have to ask and she volunteered

herself to die. What a nice girl.

A love worth dying for... It's beautiful.

So much that it's making me jealous.

Why aren't you picking up my calls?

Have you been discharged?

Is it okay for you to be out like this?

No. It's not okay.

My legs are shaky and my body feels so weak

I can't get out of the car even if you ask me to.

Put your seatbelt on.

What? Have you never seen my face before?

I feel much better now!

You know how they say that you can get sick from not seeing people you miss?

I think I was lovesick.

This is all your fault.

Don't come running to the wrong guy and go find another guy to blame.

This happened because of you so it's your fault.

Why are you trying to push the blame onto someone else?

I... want to be your bride.

You really want to die, don't you?

You're right!

Even if only for a day

I am going to die as your bride.

Shut your mouth.

You better not say one more word.

Hey! Are you crazy?

Have you lost your mind?

What's wrong with you?

Do you really want to die?

What does it matter to you whether I die or not?

You're the one who left me first!

Jang Yi Kyung!

You coward!

How can you be so sure something will happen to me?

There's no such thing as a pre-destined future.

Why are you trying to give up on this moment just because

of a future that may not even happen to us?

Regardless of how strong the opponent is

do you not have the courage to face them even

if you might fall and break into pieces?

I feel confident we can fight through it!

If it's with you.

Are you sure you won't regret it?

Are you sure you won't regret letting me go for the rest of your life?

What I fear the most

is that I won't be able to see you ever again.

I don't want to regret not having you in my life for the rest of my life.

So... can I ask you something?

Sure. Whatever do you want to know about me.

About Mr. Choi... Why is he trying to break off the wedding?

Mr. Choi?

You don't know the reason either?

The truth is...

You have to keep this to yourself.

This is the secret of all secrets.

Is that true?

Nobody knows if it's actually true or not.

Whether you believe it or not, it's just a rumor.

But... seeing as how he's calling off the

wedding, it can't be completely untrue.

Why are you so interested in Mr. Choi?

What?

Have some more to eat.

I heard something odd at my lunch with friends today.

What do you mean?

There are rumors that Kang Ju is going to break off his wedding.

What's going on?

It must be true.

Why is he trying to call off the wedding?

Mr. Choi is home!

You're home.

Hello.

You don't need to walk me out. Go on in.

Did something happen?

She heard about Kang Ju's break up...

Did you tell her everything?

What else was I supposed to do? She already knew something was going on.

I couldn't hide it any longer.

Are you feeling okay?

As you can see, I'm totally fine.

Did my mom say anything to you?

Even if she does say anything hurtful about our relationship...

Why are you trying to make her worry about you?

I am so grateful for you and your mom.

I don't want to have to apologize to her because of you.

I know that I can't have you by my side.

But you and Choi Kang Ju cannot be together.

You two are not meant to be.

It'll only be harder for you to hold onto someone that you can't be with.

I know...

I know so you don't have to worry about me.

I'm going to leave now. Get some rest.

I'm sorry for making you come all the way here.

It's okay.

You look exhausted.

Kang Ju hasn't been doing too well lately either.

He's acting out in ways like never before.

Kang Ju is struggling to pull himself together.

The reason I wanted to see you...

Is to hear what your thoughts are.

Your mother is saying absolutely not.

Do you feel the same way?

I... Don't want to lose Kang Ju.

But if your family is against the marriage?

That does not change the way I feel.

I feel much better after hearing how you're feeling.

Is there anything I can help you with?

Please silently support us for now.

Until Kang Ju changes his mind.

What brings you here unannounced?

You know why I'm here.

I'm not sure. I think you have something to tell me.

The man named Hong Man Soo.

I heard he worked for you for over 30 years.

Why do you want to know about him?

He was also very familiar with the car accident that happened 30 years ago.

You all know how it's been around here lately.

These are the times you need to be on your toes

and make sure to not disturb those we work for.

We must watch what we say and how we act.

Why aren't you answering me?

- Do I not make any sense? - Okay!

I might as well just fire everyone!

- Answer me loudly! - Okay!

Listen to what I am about to tell you.

If you don't want to get fired

then you must make wise decisions!

I may report directly to Ms. Kim

but in my heart, I report to none other than...

I...

- Miss Jang! You're leaving now? - Yes.

- I will see you later. - Okay. Get home safely.

Get home safely!

- Ms. Kim! - What was everyone doing outside?

I was just putting them in their place.

I think if you just watch what you say we won't have any problems.

Ms. Kim! Why was Miss Jang here?

Didn't the marriage go down the drain already?

There you go again!

Why can't you remain quiet for even a second?

Where did they all go?

I'm going to have to fire them all or something!

There's no such thing as a pre-destined future.

Why are you trying to give up on this moment just because

of a future that may not even happen to us?

Are you sure you won't regret it?

Are you sure you won't regret letting me go for the rest of your life?

What brings you here at this hour?

There is something I'd like to discuss with you.

Is there anything left to discuss when the wedding has already been cancelled?

I'd like to start over with Yi Kyung.

I only called you to the hospital so you two could say goodbye.

There weren't any other motives behind it.

Did you think otherwise about that?

Please give us your approval. I came here to receive your approval.

So are you asking me to hand over Yi Kyung's life to you?

Take this necklace.

It was a bit overwhelming so I was going to give it back.

Now that there is nothing left to give or take back, let's make this the end.

Ms. Ma.

If you care for Yi Kyung even the slightest bit

then you shouldn't be doing this!

You were just calling off the wedding.

Do you think what you're doing makes sense?

I'm sorry.

No. You have nothing to be sorry about.

I'm actually grateful for what you did.

Had it not been for your decision to break up

then we would have gone into that wedding completely oblivious.

I am in love with her.

So much that I want to hold on to her.

You're too late.

I already know why marriage proposals from all other

well-known families were turned down except ours.

Do you think I will let you two get married?

Love? More important than your love is Yi Kyung's life.

What I'm trying to save is Yi Kyung's life, not love.

Doo Rim, it's me.

Choi Kang Ju just stopped by.

He said he wants to start over with you.

What brings you here unannounced?

You're the one who went to my house unannounced.

Wow, so I heard the great Choi Kang Ju got down on his knees.

Can't believe I missed such an important scene.

I'm sure it would have been so entertaining to watch...

How can you joke about it right now?

What are you doing?

Thank you. For taking me back.

That doesn't mean you can hug me wherever you want.

Much less in my office.

Am I not allowed to?

You acted so innocent before...

You're a player, aren't you?

And why do you think that is?

Are you saying it's because of me?

So, you have to take care of me now.

I went to see your mom because I wanted to take care of you.

Then shall we talk about how you can take care of me?

Hey!

You're Kim Bong Sook!

Doo Rim! Doo Rim! Doo Rim! Doo Rim!

Hey! Stop right there!

Stop right there!

Hey!

Hey Roo Mi...

Did you come to see Kang Ju?

Yes.

I heard your family is against this marriage.

What are you going to do about it?

Are you going to break up with Kang Ju?

No. I'm going to marry Kang Ju.

Is it because of your family's company?

No.

My feelings for Kang Ju are genuine.

I'll see you later.

Aren't you scared?

If you marry Kang Ju, you could die.

- But are you... - What I'm really afraid of...

Is letting Kang Ju go and living the rest

of my life regretting that decision.

It's true that I thought a lot about you too

but I know that's not because you hate

me but because you like Kang Ju so much.

I'm trying to tell you I understand where you were coming from.

I'm not going to hate you.

I'll see you later.

You can come out now.

I don't know who you are

but thank you.

If you are feeling thankful then I will give you a chance to make it up to me.

Shall we talk?

Excuse me?

Upon looking into the CCTV footage at the Dongnam Apartments as you asked,

it was confirmed that Ms. Ma was there a few times.

This is a copy of the footage. You can take a look.

What about the officetel?

There was no evidence that Jang Yi Kyung

resided in the officetel in any way.

There wasn't a contract nor lease signed

by either Ms. Ma or Jang Yi Kyung.

- Are you sure about that? - Yes, I'm sure.

Please remember, this being a given, but anything

else I ask you to do must not be found out by Ms. Ma.

Yes, I will remember that.

I did as you asked.

Good work. Please continue to update me on anything Yi Hyun asks you to do.

Yes, I will.

Just remember that all this is for Oh Sung Construction.

I will get going.

December was Choi Kang Ju's inauguration.

The calls started when Yi Kyung disappeared...

What is going on?

What brings you here?

I came to see a friend.

My friend lives in this building.

How did you know?

All that matters is that she's back. Why is that so important?

Have you talked to her about the restaurant?

If she lives nearby we can check on her often and take care of her.

Even things going well will get messed up if Yi Kyung goes.

We have no choice but to send Doo Rim.

This space is now yours.

Kang Ju's family has no intention of calling off the wedding.

You just have to convince Kang Ju to move forward with the wedding.

There was no evidence that Jang Yi Kyung

resided in the officetel in any way.

There wasn't a contract nor lease signed

by either Ms. Ma or Jang Yi Kyung.

What is all this for?

What?

Hold on.

Who are you going to see right now?

Yi Hyun!

He said he's working late today...

You!

What?

She's even taking him food! They're definitely dating!

You should come in if you came all the way here. You can't just leave!

Grandma don't do this.

I'm scared of you.

Are you going to sit me down and beat me up again?

No way! No way!

Come in. Come in. Come in.

Come in!

Have a seat! Have a seat right here!

I didn't realize you were such an esteemed person in your field of work.

I'm very sorry I didn't recognize you.

I can't get over it.

You were spot on with all your predictions.

That day, my granddaughter was rushed to the hospital

and nearly died!

Grandma, do you believe me now?

Of course!

So please continue to tell me more of what you were telling me that day.

I don't know why but there's an ominous and dark energy...

My throat is dry too...

On my! Look at me! Wait just a minute!

I will bring you a grand meal!

Grandma I'll be right back.

Okay! Have fun!

Where did you get this bracelet?

- What are you doing? - Where did you get it?

I received it as a gift.

Someone told me it's a lucky charm an gave it to me.

Why are you holding my granddaughter's hand?

Let go of her.

Grandma, who is this person?

You don't need to know. Get going now.

Grandma... that young lady is your granddaughter?

Of course! She's my one and only precious granddaughter.

How can this happen...

Grandma, I'm sorry. This isn't something I can discuss with you.

But you must still finish telling me everything. You can't just leave!

- Please don't do this! - No way!

- No! Tell me! - I can't! I'm sorry!

Excuse me!

I come out a mess because of that grandma every time I come here!

What do I do...

She doesn't even realize it's not luck but the

shadow of death that's closing in on her.

It won't be easy to spare her life...

Am I supposed to tell her or not?

I have to be careful about stuff like this...

I don't know!

An oath of love?

What? You don't like it?

Just us two? Nobody else?

It's not good lying to our parents

but it's the only way.

Plus, who's to say we have to get married

in a huge ceremony with lots of people?

Who cares about what everyone else does?

What's important is that our hearts

remain the same years and years from now.

Even if I don't have a diamond ring or a wedding dress...

Even if all I have is a ring made of a dandelion.

If the winds that pass through my fingers

and if the leaves whisper to me.

And if the sun shines over us through the trees and blesses us...

I think that's meaningful and beautiful enough.

Think about it.

It's the only way for us to be accepted by our families.

You said you're the protector of this home?

You guard this home.

I'm... going to have to protect the owner of my heart.

If this is my fate, I will take it head on.

Even if I may fall and break into pieces.

For the woman who has my heart.

- Where are you? - I'm almost at the mall now.

Didn't you say you're working late tonight?

Where are you? I made food for you.

Okay. I'll be right there. Go wait in my office for me.

Okay.

Actually, I changed my mind.

I'm going to wait right here.

That way I can see your face that much sooner.

And, you have to come find me.

I said to go wait in my office.

You never listen to me.

Okay, wait where you are. I'll be right there.

He's taking a long time.

Hello.

Hello!

Go ahead.

Are you here to see Mr. Choi?

Yes. You on your way home?

Yes. Mr. Choi wasn't in his office...

Does he know you're here?

We did agree to see each other but I've been waiting for a while now.

Would you like me to call him?

No! It's okay.

All the employees are about to go home and

they'll turn out the lights and close the mall.

- Are you planning on staying here? - I'll wait just a little bit longer.

Thank you for your concern.

Okay. Then I'm going to go now.

Why isn't he coming?

What's going on?

It's the moon.

You found me right away.

You knew I was here.

You're always wherever I am.

What's the moon for?

And what's this?

There's a tale that two people destined to be together

are connected by a red string tied around their fingers.

You and I are connected by the same string.

To the ends of the skies, to the ends of the Earth

Even if you're in a different realm.

Once the string is tied, there's no breaking it.

Even if we end up walking down a heart-wrenchingly painful path...

I'll never let go of your hand again.

I love you.

Be my bride.

It took you long enough.

I'm not very good at waiting...

I'll take all the shots from now on.

Whether they're bullets or hateful words,

I'll take them for the both of us.

Your family is going to flip out when they find out.

Don't say a word and sit tight.

I'll take care of everything.

Do you trust me?

Get home safely.

Go inside.

Are you sure you won't regret it?

I asked you if you're sure you won't regret it.

Yes. I won't regret it.

Because of your decision, looks like we will both be Choi Kang Ju's bride.

One person in death... And the other in real life.

It's not a bad deal for me.

As you said, if something happens to you,

I can take your place since I look like you.

People won't even notice.

Don't you think we might look the same for this exact reason?

To make an otherwise unrequited love possible?

You may want to believe the curse on their family isn't true.

There's an existence that protects that home.

An unaging presence that's lingered through the years.

You'll probably meet her soon.

I'm curious to know if you'll feel the same way even after you meet her.

Today he asked me to marry him.

It feels like a dream. I'm so happy I'm scared.

I'm scared this happiness might shatter.

She was someone I've never met before.

She asked me...

If I would marry him even if I were to lose my life.

That's a pretty necklace.

You...

How did you find me here?

You want to become the owner of that necklace, don't you?

Who are you?

What do you want from me?

That bracelet I gave you...

Do you still believe it will bring you good luck?

In exchange for love, you'll be giving up your life.

There's an existence that protects that home.

An unaging presence that's lingered through the years.

I might have to make the same decision as you.

Are you sure you won't regret it?

Your decision?

What is Choi Kang Ju to you?

Is he so important to you you're willing trade in your life for him?

Do you think it was just coincidence that Yi Kyung disappeared?

Everything was planned from the beginning!

To drag you into this!

After tonight everything will fall back into place.

After tonight.

Then all the more reason to not keep her alive.

We have no choice but to silence her forever.

Jang Yi Kyung!
