Episode 42

He's in critical condition.

Please notify his family.

They're fighting again.

This is getting old.

Then why do you watch the show?

Hello.

Hello?

Professor Ha.

Hello?

What's wrong with this phone?

Yes? What?

An accident? Are you serious?

How about setting your life as the price?

Can you handle it? My life, that is.

We're losing the pulse.

I told her to come home early for a facial.

She'd rather be out on a date.

Did you prepare the cucumbers and the lemon?

Yes.

Let's all get a facial when she comes home.

Us too?

You should look your best.

What about me?

What about you?

You can join us too.

Dan-ah.

What's wrong?

We're going.

I'll come too.

No, we'll call you if it's serious.

It won't be something you should see.

We'll go by ourselves.

Call me as soon as possible.

All right. Let's go.

You should stay.

Please stay home, Mother.

I'm going.

I'll clean up.

Thanks for treating me last night.

It's all right.

Hello?

Soon-jin, what's up?

What is it? Is something wrong?

A car accident? Is he in bad condition?

How's Gang-suk right now?

He's in surgery.

Surgery for what?

His intestines have ruptured.

Mother.

This is all your fault!

Stop it.

Her curse fell on Gang-suk!

I told you she's bad luck!

Dan-ah.

How is he?

He's undergoing surgery for intestinal rupture.

If it weren't for you, Gang-suk would've been fine!

Stop it!

What if he passes away?

He won't!

I told you she's no good!

Nobody can escape fate.

First her husband on their way to honeymoon,

and now my son three days before their wedding...

You're too much.

Did I say something wrong?

My son might pass away, for crying out loud!

It hurts you two, but it hurts Dan-ah just as much.

How would you feel if your son were in this situation?

I understand how you feel, but...

Mother, please let her be.

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

You can say anything you want.

I deserve it.

Dan-ah.

I'm all right, Mother.

Please go on.

I told you two to break up.

Then this wouldn't have happened...

Go ahead. I'll be outside.

You couldn't just go to a take-out place?

You're such a hassle.

Why are you all out here?

Welcome home.

Hello?

How is he, President Ha?

What's going on?

Uncle got into an accident.

What?

I understand. I'll let him know.

He's in surgery.

How is he?

He's in bad condition.

How is he?

The surgery went well.

Then his life's...

He's lost a lot of blood, so we'll just have to watch him.

He won't die, will he?

Please save his life. I'm begging you.

Gang-suk.

Mom's here.

It's a grave sin to pass away before your parents.

Please come back to us.

He won't pass away, will he?

Don't worry.

You know him better than that.

He'll be fine.

Gang-suk's tenacious.

He'll be okay, so don't worry.

Go on in.

She's not even family.

Why should I let her go in?

Go on in and hold his hand.

How about setting your life as the price?

Can you handle it? My life, that is.

No, I can't handle your life.

Why did I say such a crazy thing?

I shouldn't have said that.

Why did I say that to you?

He's undergone surgery and in intensive care now.

Is he awake? Is he conscious?

Not yet.

Where are Gang-suk's parents?

Mrs. Lee collapsed, so she's hospitalized too.

You two can go on home.

Tae-young and I'll stay here.

We'll stay until he wakes up.

- Tae-young. - Yes.

Take Mother home.

Stop it.

He'll wake up. Go ahead.

I don't want you to collapse too.

He's not conscious yet.

His mother's been hospitalized because of shock.

The heavens are so cruel.

They couldn't just let Dan-ah get married happily?

Be quiet.

Sorry, Brother.

I'm going back.

Let me know how things are.

Yes.

Dan-ah didn't faint?

She's bearing it.

Let me come with you.

Please stay home.

Dan-ah needs me by her side.

Where are you going, Gang-suk?

Are you feeling better?

How's Gang-suk?

He's still the same.

I have to go see him. I need to stay by his side.

It's past visiting hours anyway.

Just calm down.

What if something happens to Gang-suk?

He'll be fine!

Have a seat, Father.

I'm all right. Sit down, Dan-ah.

I'm okay.

Please stay with Dan-ah. We'll be visiting Mrs. Lee.

Come.

Me too?

Let Dan-ah be alone with Grandmother.

Grandma.

How could this happen again...

...to someone as nice as you?

What if it's my misfortune?

What do you mean?

What if it's my misfortune that caused his accident?

Don't think like that.

Just consider it a hump you need to get over.

Once you get past this,

you'll be happy with him for the rest of the way.

When I first met him, I said something I shouldn't have.

What was that?

I wasn't fond of his attitude,

so I carelessly asked him to bet his life as a price.

That was a bit much.

I said that.

I told him to bet his life on getting what he wanted.

I asked for his life.

I don't know why you said such a thing,

but think of it like this.

In marriage, two people devote their lives to one another.

What you said actually bound your relationship together.

That's all, Dan-ah.

Don't think anything else.

It's already been three days.

Why isn't he getting up if the surgery was successful?

He had serious bleeding,

so the oxygen flow to the brain must've been reduced.

Then what's going to happen?

We can only hope that he wakes up.

Then he might remain in that condition?

It's rare, but some people remain unconscious for several years.

- Honey. - Mom.

Wake up.

What if Gang-suk doesn't wake up?

He'll wake up.

Gang-suk will wake up for sure.

Please go back. I can stay here alone.

You'll collapse.

I won't, not until he wakes up.

Let's get a room here so you can rest.

I don't want that.

Father, please take them and go.

I feel bad for everyone, so please let me stay here alone.

The investigation revealed that the car was a ringer.

What does that mean?

It's an unregistered vehicle.

It might have been a set-up.

What does that mean?

Usually, a car leaves skid marks when it breaks suddenly.

But there weren't any at the scene.

Then the accident was intentional?

The vehicle came at Mr. Lee fast,

and ran off maintaining the same speed.

We're investigating to see

if it was a car that was being pursued.

Gang-suk has such bad luck.

How'd he get involved in such a bad accident?

Let me go.

We'll bring Dan-ah's clothes and tend to her.

Please rest for today.

Listen to them.

I have to protect Dan-ah from Mrs. Lee's outbursts.

I'll do it. So stay.

I suspect that Kim Sun-tae might be involved.

Did you notify the police?

If he wasn't, we'd only provoke him more.

Please leave!

I can't face you anymore.

Stop it, Mother.

Are you happy now that Gang-suk's in that condition?

I'm scared of you being by his side.

It gives me the chills your misfortune cursed Gang-suk!

Mrs. Lee.

You think I'd let her marry into our family?

Please calm down.

How can I calm down when my son's like that?

Yelling at her won't change anything.

If she's not around, Gang-suk will wake up.

It's all because of her cursed fate!

You're too much!

- Tae-young. - Let's go, Dan-ah.

Don't take that from her!

Stop it, Tae-young.

Please take her away. I'm so sick of her!

Honey!

Why did you come down again?

Professor Ha already has it tough.

Why are you on her side?

Please understand.

She's really not herself right now.

- Hye-joo, help her. - Yes.

Get her out of my sight.

Get her out of my sight!

I'm sorry you have to bear such humiliation on top of everything.

I'm not humiliated.

She's my mother.

I know she's going through more than I am.

Maybe...

...it was my resentment that brought this on.

I thought it was over when she found her true love,

but somewhere deep down inside,

I might've resented that she didn't choose me.

Maybe Professor Ha's going though such painful times

because I couldn't give her my blessing.

Don't say that. I know you hoped for the best.

I even said I wouldn't attend their wedding.

That's...

I was still bitter.

You loved her a lot, so that's only natural.

I won't do that.

I'll get rid of all my resentment,

since I caused them so much pain.

Don't think like that.

That's the only thing I can do for them.

I really hope your brother can wake up if I did what I said.

What are you doing here?

I was praying to Great-grandfather.

Asking that Hyun-ji transfer schools was a bad wish,

but he'll grant my wish if it's that uncle gets better.

I'm sure he'll grant your wish.

What a good boy.

He's a hundred times better than I am.

Gang-suk. Even Dong-dong's praying for you.

Our family's praying for you, so please get better.

I know you're trying with all your might,

but please try a little harder.

You need to wake up and hold her before she falls apart.

Dan-ah.

Yes, Grandfather.

No matter what happens to him, you're his woman.

I know you won't find anyone after him.

So I'll tell you this.

I talked with Jin-ha's father last night.

I let him know what was going on,

and asked him for a favor.

I asked him to erase your name from Jin-ha's gravestone.

He said he was sorry it wasn't done sooner.

Then he wished for Gang-suk's recovery.

So get rid of any remaining feelings you have for Jin-ha.

Now you have to live as his woman only.

Jin-ha.

Am I being punished?

Are you punishing me for leaving you and choosing him?

It's not you, right?

Maybe keeping your memories in my heart was wrong.

But why's he being punished instead of me?

Jin-ha.

I don't know if you've gone to a better place,

and maybe there isn't anything you can do.

But if you can, please help him come back to me.

Jin-ha, I'll really forget you now.

I'm never coming back here again.

If he can't wake up, and leaves me behind,

I have to bury him in my heart,

so there won't be any room for you.

Even after I die, I won't come by your side.

I have someone else I need to stay with.

Hye-joo.

Where are you, Sister? Please hurry back.

Has Gang-suk come to?

Please come to the surgery room.

Why's he in surgery again?

He had an infection which caused heart seizures.

If something happens to Gang-suk, you're done for.

You already killed someone, and my son...

Stop it already!

Saying such crazy things won't help Gang-suk!

She's someone our son loves.

Would Gang-suk wake up just to hear you say that?

You don't have to come today.

He's still the same.

We'll stay with Dan-ah.

Goodbye, Father.

You didn't tell him about the surgery?

What if something happens?

It won't. He'll recover.

I really hope he does.

Soo-young.

If I could, I'd give him a few years of my life.

I feel bad for Dong-dong and Mal-soon, but I would.

My lady.

Please tell all of the ancestors of this family.

Please ask them to spare our dear Dan-ah's husband.

Please help us.

You must be feeling guilty.

The saying goes, unfit women bring bad luck to the family.

And this happened right after you married in.

Jo-man.

Don't you know that what you said would hurt their feelings?

I'm only repeating what the elders would say.

Don't mind her.

I heard something like that from Jo-man before too.

I grew up without a family, so I never heard that.

I did feel guilty.

We're happily married,

but Dan-ah's going through such hardships.

I feel the same. I feel guilty.

Don't.

Feeling intimidated won't help you with anything.

Let's stay strong.

So keep your minds positive, and hope for the best.

That's my son.

I knew you'd pull through.

Let this be the last time you'll suffer.

Gang-suk, I'm falling apart.

Please save me.

Don't do that to him. Let's get going.

Please stay by his side.

- Yes. - Let's go.

Let's go.

I'm sorry.

We should be sharing our pain, but you're bearing it alone.

He got over another major hump.

Please don't worry, and go on home.

Thank you for your concern.

I honestly looked down on him for his background,

but now I think he's just as great as our grandfather.

That's to be expected from a self-made millionaire.

It's been over a week.

So I can't help but feel worried.

Normally, a patient would be conscious by now.

Please prepare for the worst.

This might be a long battle.

My daughter's on the same boat.

She sustained an intestinal rupture from a car accident.

I see.

How long has she been here?

Four years.

I've only heard about people in a vegetative state on the news.

I didn't know it was so painful for the family.

Everyone in the family's struggling,

and she's still alive.

We can't even give up on her...

Gang-suk will be different. I know him better than that.

He doesn't like to be bored.

He'll wake up soon enough!

Mi-young.

Mi-young!

Nurse!

What's wrong with her?

Please wake up!

Please wake up, Mi-young!

Mi-young!

You cruel wench!

Why did you fight for four years then?

How can you leave me behind?

Isn't that the girl from Gang-suk's room?

That won't happen to Gang-suk, right?

No.

If there's a god in charge of my fate,

please hear me out.

If it's my fate that's causing his pain...

If my going against my fate...

...resulted in someone's death and his current condition,

then I'll stop.

I'll stop being greedy. I'll admit defeat.

I'll make a promise.

If you bring him back to life,

I'll never dream of being his woman again.

If you ask me not to see him again in exchange for his life,

I'll accept it.

You know not seeing him is like death for me.

So please exchange my life for his.

I'll never stand before him again.

So please save his life.

Thank you.

I lost and you won.

But I'm still thankful.

Yes, Dan-ah.

I'll tell Grandfather.

Grandma, what's wrong?

Mr. Chairman.

He's come to.

He's awake.

Yes, Jin-ah. I'll tell our parents.

Gang-suk's awake.

Soo-young.

We should bring Dan-ah home.

We can't make her.

Gang-suk's awake.

Good job, Son.

I'm sorry, Father.

You should be. You made our hearts drop.

I was going to die if you had.

Why would I live without you?

Don't say such morbid things now!

Forget what she said.

You're all right now.

Gang-suk.

You better not have fainted because of me.

I didn't faint.

That's good, Hye-joo.

We at least ate some food and got some rest.

But she's been waiting outside of the room all along.

You'd better be sorry. You've been resting on a bed.

Yes.

They can't talk if we're around. Let's leave them alone.

No, I want to stay with Gang-suk.

Stop being ditzy.

My words got the best of me.

I shouldn't have said I'd put you on your guard.

I'm sorry for scaring you.

I'm sorry for making you cry.

As I was falling, I only thought one thing.

I can't make her cry.

I won't make you cry ever again.

My brother's awake. He can talk.

What's up?

That's great.

Don't worry anymore.

Okay.

Did something bad happen?

You look so pale.

I think my long and painful first love is finally over.

When can I be discharged?

I'm surprised.

It usually takes a while before people can start talking again.

I'm hasty.

After we run some tests, we'll move you to a regular room.

You'll need some time to recover from the surgery.

But I think I can be discharged.

That's what you think.

I have things to take care of.

Just relax and focus on your recovery only.

I might get a worse disease.

Sorry?

I can't push back my wedding.

Yes, Professor.

Please cancel my lectures for this semester.

I'm sorry, but I can't handle a class at this time.

Thank you, Professor.

I'm lucky.

You'll get to stay home after we get married.

Then I won't have to go to your school for lunch.

Wait.

That's not any different than driving home.

But at least you'll be waiting for me at home.

Don't mind us.

I'm okay.

She's been discharged. We're heading home.

Is that right?

Go to the hot springs for a rest.

With you in this condition?

I wanted to stay here, but your father insists on going home.

Don't just take up space here.

Did you get some rest?

Yes.

At least there's a sofa in this room.

But it's not very comfortable, is it?

I got some rest.

We'll leave him in your care.

Yes.

We'll get a nurse for him, so go on home and rest.

No, I'll stay here until he leaves.

You'll collapse.

I'll stay.

They're really meant to be. They're both so stubborn.

We're going.

Don't come out.

I'll see you out.

With a daughter-in-law like her,

you can show off to all the noble housewives.

Whatever.

Stop being so sassy.

Here, honey.

Aren't I great?

I had Dr. Kim prepare some medicine,

so I could serve you when we got home.

This won't change my mind. I really hate her.

Enough.

Soon-jin, get Hye-joo.

She went out earlier.

I brought her medicine too.

Something's fishy.

It's just the medicine.

Not that, Uncle.

I saw that guy with Hye-joo at the hospital.

You mean, the guy Hye-joo's not dating?

Yes.

I saw them together at the hospital.

He probably came by to console her.

If they're not dating, why would he come by?

That's fishy.

Maybe she's just hiding the fact that they're dating.

That's not the issue here.

What's the issue then?

Try a cursed daughter-in-law.

That's enough already.

Don't you want to rest on a bed?

I got room here.

Yes.

Grandma.

Hello.

Don't get up.

No, I'm actually all right now.

I brought some homemade food for you.

You came alone?

I took a taxi.

Why didn't you come with my brothers?

I didn't want to make them drive out again.

Go on in. I'll catch a taxi home.

Why do you look so down?

What's wrong?

I was making a promise...

...that I wouldn't see him again, so that he'd wake up.

And right at that moment, he opened his eyes.

Good grief.

That's why he recovered, right?

The moment he woke up,

I realized there was a god controlling our fate.

I felt afraid.

What should I do, Sam-wol?

He's doing much better.

You came here to tell me that?

You could've called.

You should've stayed home and rested.

Go home and rest.

I just wanted to see you.

Bye.

Miss Lee Hye-joo.

Who are you?

Keep your mouth shut.

Is this Chairman Lee?

I have your precious daughter Hye-joo.

Hye-joo's been kidnapped.

What do you think you're doing?

You're already in a love triangle at your age?

That's why I have a headache.

You must've been so tired.

I have a nosebleed.

Then try to stop it.

Happy birthday.

Happy birthday to you.

I don't know if I can stay by your side.

You're leaving for China?

I'll be gone a year.

What about our wedding?

Let's think about that after I come back.

TO BE CONTINUED...
