Protect The Family (Save The Family / 가족을 지켜라 / Gajokeul Jikyeora)

Ko Yewon,

I'm sorry.

I knew so little about you

when we were together.

You should've told me.

I had no idea

and criticized you.

I feel so bad.

If you were going to be so hurt,

why were you so foolish?

Ko Yewon.

Do you recognize me?

Ujin.

Thank you for waking up.

Am I at the hospital again?

Yes.

You'd been unconscious since yesterday.

What?

No. Lie down.

I have to go to HQ.

In your condition?

You need medical care.

Medical care?

What for?

I'm leaving.

No, Yewon.

Why are you treating me like I'm sick?

I want to be released immediately.

Stop being a child.

What's it to you?

I'm perfectly fine.

I beg you, Yewon.

You need treatment.

Treatment?

I don't need anything like that.

I'm your physician.

You can't go anywhere without my authorization.

If you keep this up,

we'll have to tie you down.

What?

So please calm down, Yewon.

Call my father

and have him come here right away.

Haesu,

you can cheer up now.

Ms. Ko is awake.

Really?

Of course.

What a relief.

My goodness.

You were that worried?

Of course I was.

I was more or less responsible.

I heard she collapsed in her car.

It's because she couldn't control her own anger.

In any case, poor Dr. Jeong.

He's been stuck in her room since yesterday.

Oh, my.

I understand if Dr. Jo was there,

but why Dr. Jeong?

Ms. Ko's father asked him

to take good care of her.

What?

But they broke up.

Why ask him to do that

when they're no longer together?

I don't know.

I merely heard it in passing.

Good grief.

You always pick up these

weird rumors.

Now that I know Ms. Ko's woken up,

I'm hungry.

Should we make bibimbap?

Sure.

Make it nice and tasty.

Okay.

Where are you going?

I'm going to see Yewon.

Why? To reconfirm her commitment to Ujin?

For this and that.

And to return the purse

she got me.

Why return a present?

That's rather cold.

Aeran told me this is hard to come by.

I feel like I'm losing face by accepting

a gift like this already.

In any case, it would nice to rush this along.

But her mother still

rubs me the wrong way.

She will be changing her ways.

Why? Has she come around?

It's a long story.

I should get going.

Okay.

Get back before dinnertime.

I will. / - Okay.

I wanted to teach the kids how to sew,

but alas...

Welcome.

Hello.

Is Ms. Ko away?

Oh...

She won't be in for a while.

Why not?

You haven't heard from Dr. Jeong?

Ms. Ko has been hospitalized.

Again?

Is she ill?

I don't know the details,

but she's taking a few days off.

Which hospital?

Where my son works?

Yes, ma'am.

Why is she hospitalized again?

Good grief.

Could I leave this with you?

It's for Yewon.

Of course.

Why aren't you telling me?

What happened at the board meeting?

Who cares about that right now?

Don't think about work right now.

You need to get better first.

Are you trying to get me fired?

It's not like that.

Stop lying.

You'll oust me

while I'm stuck in here.

And I know you'll put Jiwon

in my place.

Yewon.

Dad, please get me released.

I'm perfectly fine.

I collapsed from my low blood pressure.

You know that.

Listen to me.

You almost died, kiddo.

If this happens again,

you might lose your life.

Can't you see that?

Dad.

I'm sorry, Yewon.

Just focus on getting better,

and I'll do whatever you want me to.

If you want me to approve of Ujin,

I'm willing to do that.

Hon.

Do you mean that, dad?

Yes.

You mean the world to me,

so do as I say, okay?

Dad.

I came to check on Yewon.

You brazenly show yourself here?

I heard she was sick.

I'm sure Yewon means a lot to you,

but she means a lot to me, too.

You mean

One's Food means a lot to you.

Am I wrong?

I don't think it's right of you to say that

especially when Yewon's unwell.

Do you know what's wrong with Yewon?

You'd avoid her like a plague if I told you.

What do you mean?

What are you saying?

May I ask who you are?

You must be Yewon's father.

I'm Jeong Ujin's mother.

Oh, I see.

Nice to meet you.

I heard Yewon was hospitalized.

Thank you for coming.

Why don't you go in?

Thank you.

And...

Yes?

I'd like to see you once Yewon gets better.

Would that be okay?

Hon.

That would be fine by us.

Then, I'll be in touch.

Let's go.

What did he say?

He wants us to meet sometime?

Does that mean he'll approve of Ujin?

Hi, Ujin.

Mom,

what are you doing here?

I came to check on Yewon.

How did you find out?

Can we talk?

Yewon's father?

Yes. And he said

he wanted to see us once Yewon got better.

He was so deferential

that I was thrown off.

Did you manage to get him to change his mind?
