Bride of the Century (Hundred Year Bride / Baeknyeonui Shinboo / 백년의 신부)

Episode 13

Thank you so much for waking up.

For my daughter...

In an instant I crushed

someone else's daughter... someone else's precious life...

This is why your grandmother wanted to see me.

Is this what you used to make a deal with my mom?

Because she fears the entire world finding out about this the most.

Schedule another press conference. As soon as possible.

They may have been just the pictures this time around

but if it happens again, then this recording will be sent to the media.

And if people hear it, I wonder what will happen? Taeyang Group

is a given but more specifically your parents and grandmother.

Stop hurting people.

Everything depends on you.

You make the decision.

You have my hands and feet tied.

And now you want me to make the decision?

Why thank you. For helping me get myself together without any regrets.

I'll need you to come with me.

To clean up the mess I made.

You're pretty demanding for someone who needs my help.

Do you want a public announcement or something?

If I feel like doing so, I can just end all this.

Is that what you want?

Mark my words.

If we're both tightly holding on to each end

of the rope and I let go, we will both fall.

Know your place and don't go beyond that.

I'm sorry.

I was hoping you wouldn't find out...

I didn't want you to go through all that pain too...

Don't resent your grandmother.

It's all because of me.

I just couldn't get over your father.

So your grandmother...

Don't try so hard anymore.

All that weight you've been trying to take on alone.

You can give all that to me now.

It's just a matter of me making up my mind.

Kang Ju...

Please don't let dad ever find out.

You know how he is.

He'd be hurt the most by all this.

I'm not afraid of the truth coming out.

It's only right that a person pays the price for their wrongdoings.

But I'm most afraid that dad will find out.

Dad... has been stuck in the past all his life

and has lived in a prison he's created for himself.

It's not right for us to put him through more pain.

Here are your meds.

Miss Jang!

I hear that Mr. Choi didn't go to the press

conference because you got in a fight.

Why did you fight? What happened?

You should be crazy about each other and having fun.

What was the big deal for him to not show up?

You must be really comfortable with me.

Excuse me?

For as long as you work here, please be very clear on who you're working for.

There's no reason for us to be gossiping

together, it's not like we're friends.

If that's what you want to do, you can go make friends

but please watch what you say to me.

I... was just worried...

Have I ever asked you to worry about me?

Please mind your own business from now on

and focus on the housework instead.

Is that not what your job is?

Why are you standing there like that?

How can a person change so much?

- It's so strange. - What is?

Miss Jang.

Aside from her face

everything else is different.

The look in her eyes, her facial

expression and the way that she talks...

All of it!

You didn't notice anything odd?

There you go again saying useless things.

Listen to me! Do you know what she just said to me?

It's a relief your injuries weren't more serious.

You don't want to even look at me now?

I've tried really hard.

While living in your home,

I tried really hard to become like your real son and Yi Kyung's real brother.

But you...

Would you have protected Doo Rim the same

way if you were really Yi Kyung's brother?

You walked away from us, we didn't walk away from you.

I didn't know you were this kind of a person.

How could you...

Go ahead. Resent me.

Loathe me with all that you have.

And if that helps you feel even a little better,

then as your mother for the last 20 something years

I believe it will be my final gift to you.

From the day you came to my home, you never once complained

and you were a good kid who took care of himself.

I never once had to get mad at you, yell at you or spank you.

And I wonder if that may be because of the distance between us emotionally...

Get some rest.

Is all this really necessary?

I know you're the one who released the photos to the media.

This was probably not part of your original plan.

Because you weren't expecting Choi Kang Ju

to not show up to the press conference.

We've steered off course a bit but we'll

get back on the right path in no time.

You sound very confident.

How can you say that for sure?

Do you think it's just those photos?

If I'm standing up to Taeyang Group, those

pictures alone are not nearly enough.

I gave them a small taste and Kang Ju came to his senses on his own terms.

You just focus on getting better.

You need to be better by the time Yi Kyung gets married.

You're her one and only brother.

You should walk her down the aisle, don't you think?

You don't have to try so hard to act like you're okay around me.

Don't act like nothing happened.

That worries me even more.

Does it look like I'm trying to act like I'm okay?

I'm the heir to Taeyang Group.

Do you think I'll put the entire company

in danger because of a fake girl?

Something like that is meaningless.

And because it is so meaningless, I'm acting like nothing happened.

I understand, Mr. Choi.

Even though sales and revenue were up nearly 5% compared to last year

the reason profits aren't as high is due to

poor decisions made by the executive board.

Restructuring the board is a given but

I think it's also a good time to re-examine the low-performing brands.

You did a good job in coming up with a solid plan.

Go ahead and move forward with what you have.

Do you have anything else you want to talk to me about?

I was just wondering if there might be other

reasons for you working so much lately.

No, there isn't.

I've neglected my work for a while so I wanted to get back on track.

You're not going to acknowledge me?

What do you want?

I did what you asked last time so do something for me this time.

Go with me to see my brother.

Kang Ju wanted to come visit you.

I should have come sooner. I'm sorry it took so long.

I hope you get well soon.

You don't need to say those things just to be courteous.

Please leave us alone for a bit.

It's been a while since I last saw my sister.

Do you feel better now?

Are you happy now that you have Choi Kang Ju by your side?

Do you know how long it's been since we last saw each other?

Is that all you have to say to me?

I knew you'd be like this so even though

I wanted to see you, I didn't come until now.

Why Doo Rim and not me?

Who is she?

She even turned you down so why are you so determined to protect her?

I was so angry and outraged I didn't want to see you.

Because if I saw you, I'd hate Doo Rim even more!

Yi Kyung...

You should just go somewhere far away with Doo Rim.

You want Doo Rim for yourself.

You want that more than anyone else right now.

Let's go Kang Ju.

It's not like we have any spectators. No need to continue putting on a show.

Why do you keep coming here? What about the restaurant?

Don't worry. My grandma and Jin Joo are doing a good job taking care of it.

I'm just asking because you remind me of a ghost

who walks around all day without ever sleeping.

Have you ever seen a ghost as cute as me?

Those dark circles under your eyes make you look pretty ghostly.

How about now?

Here.

The dry cleaner said they couldn't take the stains out.

So I searched online to find ways to take them out.

There is still a little bit left on there

but I wanted to get this back to you as a way of saying

get well soon so you can wear this to work again.

Remember you said you haven't done anything for me?

You made me smile.

A warm smile.

So warm even the cold breeze felt warm.

And that alone is more than enough.

So you don't have to feel bad.

Go in the direction that you want. That's what I want for you.

What do you think?

Things seem different between Kang Ju and Yi Kyung lately.

It was also unlike Kang Ju to not show up to the press conference.

The truth is...

Tell me whatever you know.

My wife has been saying some odd things lately too.

She keeps saying that Ms. Jang has been different lately

and that she seems like a different person.

And this makes absolutely no sense...

It's okay, tell me.

But she mentioned that maybe Mr. Choi might be seeing another woman...

What do you mean another woman?
