100 Year Inheritance Episodes 27-28 Recap

Twenty-Seven.

Se Yoon agrees to get engaged to Joo Ri, even though he looks like he’s going to throw up. Dad asks if they’ve greeted EMIL and sends them on their way. Se Yoon doesn’t want to, but he agrees. Outside of the hospital, Joo Ri tells him he doesn’t have to, but he resolutely says that it needs to be done and she should be at ease. He tells her it’s all in the past and, after taking his hand, she tells him she’ll be forever grateful. He just sighs, withdraws his hand and walks downstairs so they won’t appear before EMIL empty-handed.

Wedding Hall. Chae Won’s thinking. Oeharabeoji comes up and asks how Chae Won has no one. Chae Won decides to go look for Oehalmeoni. Oehalmeoni is also dressed in a wedding dress, at Choon Hee’s request. Choon Hee wants Oehalmeoni to have the wedding Oehalmeoni never had. Chae Won discovers the secret and Oehalmeoni giggles. Opera Man is the MC for the wedding. Uncles notice that AILs are sulking. AILs explain the exchange with Choon Hee from earlier. They don’t believe the women. Appa and Choon Hee marry, with Oeharabeoji escorting her. A little emotional with that, that she gets to have a family finally. They bow to each other and Opera Man announces that there’s another bride. Enter Oehalmeoni. Oeharabeoji asks her if she’s got dementia. Oehalmeoni clucks back at him. Opera Man announces that since it’s their 60th anniversary, the bride requested a double wedding. Appa escorts Oehalmeoni down the aisle. A really nice plaque presentation to the grandparents which makes me cry.

Chul Kyu’s pining for Chae Won. EMIL comes in and demands he get out of bed because Joo Ri’s coming over with her soon-to-be fiancé, Se Yoon. Chul Kyu hates the guy but EMIL is giddy, because Se Yoon is rich. EMIL’s already calling him SIL. Chul Kyu ‘realizes’ that if Se Yoon and Joo Ri marry, it’ll make it easier to get back together with Chae Won. He hops out of bed and does realize that his pining picture fell on the floor. Hong Joo finds it and crumbles it up, angry. Later, Chul Kyu comes across the piece of paper where EMIL registered their wedding. Start of the fight between Hong Joo and Chul Kyu.

Se Yoon and Joo Ri arrive, with a fruit basket. Hong Joo shows her crazy and leaves. Chul Kyu and EMIL bicker slightly but then EMIL is buttery sweet to Se Yoon. EMIL makes Chul Kyu talk to Se Yoon, who is clearly uncomfortable and unhappy, and Joo Ri learns of how Chul Kyu went to her work and confronted Se Yoon. EMIL declares they need tea and makes Joo Ri go, leaving the men alone. Alone, Joo Ri tells EMIL that Se Yoon must have fallen for her.

Back in the living room, the guys talk and Chul Kyu calls her *his* Chae Won. Then he mentions how EMIL tried to bribe Chae Won but she wouldn’t budge. Se Yoon’s ears go, ‘what?’ and Chul Kyu declares that his Chae Won would never fall for money. He reminisces how EMIL tried to pay Chae Won off when they were dating, but Chae Won always refused the money. And now he’s remember Mom telling what she heard *from Joo Ri* about how scandalous Chae Won is, and Mom protesting about Chae Won being gentle because she was demanding a bribe. Se Yoon looks more sick.

After the wedding, Chae Won gets a phone call; it’s Chul Kyu. She asks why he’s calling since she told him not to. He declare it’s urgent and we see that he’s right outside. He tells her to come out. She reluctantly agrees. He tells her that Se Yoon and Joo Ri are engaged. Chae Won asks why this news should mean anything to her. He says that it puts his mind more at ease. He explains that he hasn’t even consummated his marriage so they should start over. She tells him she doesn’t want anything to do with him and if he comes back again, she’ll sic her uncles on him.

Se Yoon returns to the hospital. Mom asks if he saw EMIL and notices he’s *not* happy as he responds ‘yes.’ Dad tells him to deal with the rumor and concentrate on his work.

EMIL gets another visit from TSGMom. TSGMom wants to know what the deal with Chul Kyu pining over his ex. EMIL makes a bunch of excuses. TSGMom reminds EMIL about home shopping. Chul Kyu arrives. TSGMom tells him that if he thinks about useless things, nothing good will come out of it.

Appa has diarrhea and they miss the plane.

Chae Won thinks about the news of the engagement. Se Yoon’s gone to visit his hyung, who is thrilled to hear that he’s engaged. He tells Se Yoon he had a feeling about the two from the beginning. Hyung is shocked it’s not Chae Won. Se Yoon asks why he thought they’d be good together. Hyung tells him that him showing so much interest in someone after being so unpleasant and cold for three years… Hyung mentions how Se Yoon pestered him a bunch and Se Yoon doesn’t like asking anyone for favors. Hyung says that it looked like love. Se Yoon protests that it wasn’t like that. Hyung points out that meeting Chae Won helped him to let go of Eun Seol.

Family hijinks.

Chae Won’s in the kitchen at work making noodles. The cooks arrive and she tells them that the marketing team needs them for their meeting.

Marketing team abuzz over the engagement. Joo Ri’s glowing. Se Yoon is sedate. Asst Yoon tells Se Yoon there’s a complication with their noodle factory because the guy speaks French and is ignoring the recipes and reports that they’re sending. Chae Won arrives with the noodles. Asst Yoon asks what she’s doing there. Joo Ri is shocked. Se Yoon announces that he tried her noodles and thought that this was the taste their client has been looking for. Asst Yoon frowns and Joo Ri’s not smiling anymore. The whole team loves the noodles immediately. Chae Won announces that he and Chae Won are going to go someplace to cook the noodles for the client. Chae Won reacts by saying she's never done that before and he tells her she can do it. Old Se Yoon is back, Joo Ri’s extra sour now. She leaves and ends up meeting up with one of the cooks. She gives her a wad of cash for her sister’s surgery as long as the cook sabotages Chae Won.

Chul Kyu comes to EMIL and announces that he can’t be married to Hong Joo anymore. EMIL can’t believe it. Chul Kyu wants to annul the marriage so he can go back to Chae Won. She beats him a bunch of times. She explains about the home shopping deal. At home Hong Joo is having Mrs. Park go through Chul Kyu’s clothes.

At work people are discussing Se Yoon’s engagement to Joo Ri and marveling at how they got his relationship with Chae Won so wrong. They all feel bad for pestering Chae Won so much for favors, especially since she kept turning them down. And again Se Yoon is in the back of the elevator, listening to everything. Do you feel like a total jerk yet? He heads to the kitchen where Chae Won is working. He’s old-Se Yoon friendly. She congratulates him on his engagement and there’s a non-verbal groan from Se Yoon. He doesn’t know how to react to her knowing. That kills the conversation. He says he’s sorry. She asks for what, and he can’t admit how much of a jerk he was, so he says it’s about the work for the presentation.

Se Yoon asks if he can try one. He says there’s a saying that you give one more rice cake to the person you don’t like. She replies that he should try them all, then. But then she asks him to rate them and tell her which one is new and unique. Joo Ri spots them together and immediately thinks Chae Won’s up to something. Se Yoon’s eating and Chae Won asks for his feedback. He’s non-committal. And I remember that he has that taste thing because of Eun Seol. She tells him that she wanted his feedback, but whenever he eats any of it, his expressions are all the same. Her lecture freaks him out and he quickly excuses himself with work as an excuse. Joo Ri arrives to declare that Chae Won is really something!

In the parking garage, Se Yoon is practically running for his car. He realizes that he left his bag in the kitchen. He’s not excited about going back to get it. Joo Ri asks Chae Won why she’s constantly bugging Se Yoon when Joo Ri’s not engaged to him. Is she trying to win him over with noodles? Chae Won replies that she’s simply trying to help the company. Joo Ri tells her that she sure doesn’t know her place. She’s more obnoxious, but Chae Won tells her to stop and tries to leave. Se Yoon returns just in time to see Joo Ri grab Chae Won and tell her that she’s warned Chae Won that if she doesn’t walk away, Joo Ri will have her dragged out. Chae Won is disgusted as she confronts Joo Ri with planning the candy basket and the photos to the website to make Chae Won look ridiculous. Chae Won asks her if she’s done. Joo Ri replies she has lots more ideas, after all, whose daughter is she?

Chae Won declares that if Joo Ri plans something again, Chae Won won’t just sit by and get used. Joo Ri continues to be obnoxious with Chae Won trying reason with her to stop and Se Yoon is seeing the truth. As if he wasn’t seeing it before. Joo Ri asks whether Chae Won has any proof that Joo Ri did anything. No one’s going to believe Chae Won’s words, so she needs to know her place and keep quiet. Se Yoon walks off, ticked. Chae Won replies that this is the worst case scenario. Joo Ri declares she’ll Chae Won the worst case scenario! And storms out of the kitchen. Chae Won sighs and puts her noodles in the refrigerator. Se Yoon appears again. And I hope he feels like a total heel for how he acted SO MANY TIMES.

Next morning, Chae Won’s waiting with him, holding some bags. Ingredients for the presentation. He tries to take them for her, but she doesn’t want to let him. She’s interrupted by a guy appearing. The guy announces that he needs Chae Won to come with him to the inspection station. When Se Yoon asks what’s going on, the guy says that they got a tip about Chae Won taking kickbacks. Se Yoon asks to see the letter. And they don’t leave for their important presentation. Joo Ri arrives and he asks her about the letter. Does she have anything to say about it?

Twenty-Eight.

About to leave for the demo. Chae Won accused of taking kickbacks. Se Yoon asks about the letter. Joo Ri arrives in the office and he asks her about the letter. She tries to act surprised. He asks if she has anything to say about it, since Joo Ri knows best what’s going on with Chae Won. Sneaky. Please fall for it, you hateful girl. Joo Ri hesitatingly, with protest, confesses that Chae Won’s family is poor and Chae Won has always been obsessed with money. That’s why EMIL and Chae Won had problems. He’s trying not to grit his teeth as she continues telling about all the money that Chae Won stole to give to her family. Joo Ri even says that it’s not nice for her to speak like this, since she and Chae Won were once family. Se Yoon sighs and Joo Ri sighs, saying that she sure thought things were getting settled, but Chae Won’s stirring them up again. She tells him that they shouldn’t ignore this and he tells her he won’t just sit and watch. She tells him, with all the rumors, that the sooner the better for getting it taken care of. He nods and tells her that’s what he’s going to do. And his expression reads, I can’t believe how easily you lie to my face. I can’t believe I fell for it.

In front of the Inspection Division, they tell her that the letter alleges that she was lenient with her inspections in exchange for kickbacks. She swears to God she never did those things. The other guy tells her that because the letter is so detailed, it’s highly credible. They tell her that she needs to let them look at her bank account information. She does – like an idiot – since she has nothing to hide.

Later Chae Won realizes that this is probably Joo Ri. Joo Ri appears and Chae Won tells her they need to talk. And Se Yoon sees them go off together. So he can eavesdrop, of course. Chae Won tells Joo Ri that she warned her. Joo Ri replies that she warned Chae Won. And she's going to forcibly make Chae Won leave. Se Yoon arrives and Joo Ri sees him. Chae Won doesn’t and slaps Joo Ri. Joo Ri plays it to the hilt, calling her Unni and acting all innocent. Chae Won yells at Joo Ri, asking how she can wear a human mask and act so shamelessly. Joo Ri starts to really play the victim card and tells Chae Won she feels so wronged. Chae Won can’t believe Joo Ri just said that. Se Yoon’s had enough and leaves. Chae Won vows she’s not going to sit by and watch this time and storms off. Joo Ri runs after her, crying Unni, and then stops when she realizes her audience isn’t there.

Chae Won arrives out front with the bags. She looks very discouraged. Se Yoon compliments her, saying she looked very strong. Her hand was no joke. In fact, if she got mad at him, she probably would not leave his face intact. She asks him what he’s talking about. He tells her he he saw the scene on the rooftop. She asks him if he heard, a little shocked, more embarrassed. He stifles a smile and takes the bags, telling her to come. She’s quiet in the car so he tells her that as long as she’s innocent, it will come out and she doesn’t need to worry. She just looks at him. He asks her why she’s staring. Does he have something on his face? She says it’s nothing. He tells her to take a nap, since she must be tired from staying up so late. She refuses to take the nap. He mentions about where they’re giving their presentation, that the guy is tough and speaks French. She says she heard already.

Awkward silence, mostly on Se Yoon’s side because he’s trying to repair things without apologizing. He asks her if she doesn’t have anything to say to him. She asks him what he’s talking about. He prompts: something she really wanted to tell him but couldn’t. Or if she wanted to explain about what happened. Aw, dude, you were doing so well. She almost calls him Se Yoon but switches back to Director and tells him that has no intention of making excuses. He has to just sigh.

EMIL’s dropped by Dad’s hospital room with a fruit basket. She’s the perfect potential in-law. I have to say, she’s good at looking right and she *knows* what behavior she should be doing. So it’s not like she’s clueless as to whether her behavior is socially acceptable or not. She’s just so selfish and arrogant that she think she’s justified in how she acts. Because screaming obnoxiously and being belittling are perfectly acceptable. EMIL tells Mom that Joo Ri will be there when Dad is having surgery. Because Joo Ri doesn’t have a *job* she needs to be doing. Dad isn’t there at the moment because he’s out for some tests. I wonder if Dad knows the obnoxious side of EMIL, too. EMIL clucks over Mom. EMIL asks about the heart attack and Mom falls right into her web. Mom asks about Chae Won, or ‘that thing’ as EMIL calls her, and EMIL is more that happy to make Chae Won look bad. Because of her, EMIL took medicine for heart, anxiety, depression!

Appa and Choon Hee are cutesy. Siblings come downstairs and AILs are snotty but the Uncles think it’s awesome. Appa and Choon Hee leaves the room and Uncles ask their wives for a kiss, only to be yelled at. Uncles grumble and leave. AILs grumble and Choon Hee comes back in. EAIL is insulting about Choon Hee running a café, implying things. Choon Hee starts to correct them, but Oehalmeoni comes out ticked off and tells at the AILs for being rude. Stop being jealous.

Contest: who sells the most noodles. They have until 9 pm. Hijinks, but Opera Man is confident that they’re going to sell out.


Premium Demonstration is over. Se Yoon tells Chae Won he’s got a good feeling since the noodle buyer was very interested in Chae Won’s recipe. He wants to take her to lunch but she turns him down and excuses herself. She stops by a business and asks the President to come to the company with her to he can testify on her behalf. President is shocked and wonders how someone found out. He deposited 300 won into the account she gave him. On a note in a box. He just happens to have the note. She asks him if Joo Ri told him to do this. He doesn’t know a Joo Ri. He gave her the bribe because she was so tough with her inspections that he though she was going to switch to someone else. Chae Won is devastated that he could even think such a thing. President wants to know who gave him the note then. And Se Yoon just happens to see the whole thing.

EMIL’s talking to Joo Ri about her conversation with Mom. EMIL can’t believe that Chae Won would go around spreading rumors like that. And color me surprised. I thought EMIL *knew* that Joo Ri had been doing all of it. Joo Ri tells EMIL that Chae Won also received kickbacks so she should be getting fired soon. EMIL can’t believe it. Chul Kyu overhears the last part of the conversation and asks about someone taking a bribe. EMIL can’t believe Chae Won’s behavior. Chul Kyu doesn’t believe it and EMIL asks why Joo Ri would lie. But Chul Kyu knows that Joo Ri *would* lie.

Dad’s surgery time. It will take 3 to 4 hours. Joo Ri arrives and is super sweet.

Chae Won arrives at work. Cooks are there to ask her what’s going on. They don’t want it to be true. Chae Won swears it isn’t.

Noodle selling. YUncle is driving around in a car yelling out the window that he has noodles. Like an ice cream salesman. EUncle are at a market and just sitting there. EAIL wants them to cheat again and buy them themselves. Opera Man is putting on a concert and getting tons of sales.

Chae Won’s stewing about the issue. Chul Kyu arrives. He says he heard, he’s worried and came to help. Chae Won’s called to the Inspection Office. They’ve confirmed the bribe. Chul Kyu bursts in and declares she would never do such a thing. Then he throws out all his money and tells them that if this isn’t enough to get rid of all of it, he’ll give them more. Chae Won can’t believe him.

Se Yoon and Joo Ri are back from the hospital. Se Yoon’s pretty quiet. Joo Ri asks him if something’s happened and he says no. She almost asks him about her rooftop fight with Chae Won, but doesn’t. Kerfuffle as they hear Chul Kyu shouting. Everyone else wants him to leave. Chul Kyu yells at her to just quit! Se Yoon arrives and finds Chul Kyu manhandling one of the inspectors.

Later in Se Yoon’s office, Chul Kyu calls him brother-in-law and says that Se Yoon knows that Chae Won would never do this. Se Yoon tells Chul Kyu that he’s uncomfortable being called BIL before he’s married Joo Ri. Joo Ri tells Chul Kyu that he should not be involved and just go. She asks him if Chae Won called him for help, and the glee over that idea is evident in her voice. He gestures with a fist at Joo Ri and says as if! Chul Kyu heard Joo Ri telling EMIL all about it. Chul Kyu asks Se Yoon to stop Chae Won from being framed. Se Yoon doesn’t say anything but that he understands what Chul Kyu’s saying. Chul Kyu leaves and Joo Ri tries to play things off like Chul Kyu is immature and naïve. Se Yoon looks at her and asks her if she really doesn’t have anything to tell him. Joo Ri’s clueless so he smiles and says it’s nothing.

Chae Won’s outside yelling at Chul Kyu for making her look like an idiot. Chul Kyu tells her she should just quit then! Again he says he’ll take care of her expenses and she asks him why she would take it. She is not going to be your mistress, dude. She warns him that if he shows up in front of her again, she’s going to call the police and leaves.

Hong Joo gets an envelope from TSGMom – it’s pictures of Chul Kyu after his altercation with Se Yoon when Se Yoon punched him. Hong Joo calls TSGMom and confirms that the woman is Chul Kyu’s ex.

Contest results time. Oeharabeoji asks if they sold all the noodles they took. EUncle’s family looks guilty because they’re about to lie. Auntie announces that they did! She presents Oeharabeoji with the money. YUncle’s team only sold half. And EUncle? Even though she came up with the idea, EAIL confesses what they were going to do. EUncle says they couldn’t do it. EAIL says that Oeharabeoji’s description of the noodles as her children kept haunting her. They want to take a zero, rather than throw out the noodles. They of course get the lowest score, but it’s not a zero.

In the house, Oeharabeoji is SMILING. Auntie and Opera Man go to celebrate their win. He asks her why she’s being so nice and she declares that it’s because they’re partners. Not because she’s found out that he’s her first love.

At the company, the Inspection Office is reporting to Se Yoon. He’s expecting that Chae Won will be dismissed. Se Yoon asks him for one more day. Chae Won arrives at the bus stop and Choon Hee is there waiting for her. Chae Won asks why she’s there and Choon Hee says that she’s come to escort her pretty daughter home. Chae Won almost confides about what’s going on. Choon Hee says that she actually knows the Chairman and Chae Won’s surprised that she knows Se Yoon’s dad. And here it comes… The revelation getting all the closer… Choon Hee says she’s never seen the son.

Joo Ri arrives home, hot to yell at Chul Kyu. She lays into him about butting in at the company. EMIL comes in and Joo Ri whines to EMIL about what Chul Kyu did. Hong Joo overhears the whole thing, including him say it’s not over for him. Hong Joo comes in to confront him. Chul Kyu almost confesses but EMIL stops him. Chul Kyu stomps out. EMIL tries to lie but Hong Joo’s not taken in. Chae Won’s called Joo Ri and asks her to stop. Stop and confess. Joo Ri pretends to be innocent. Chae Won asks her why she’s doing this, since Joo Ri’s *engaged* to Se Yoon. Joo Ri tells her that Chae Won’s relationship with Se Yoon bothers her and it’s never going to be over.

Se Yoon’s thinking about all the ways he’s been a jerk to Chae Won. He asks himself if his disappointment could be so much worse because he trusted her so much. He calls himself careless because he gave her such heartache.

More Appa-Choon Hee honeymoon goofiness. The Uncles are jealous but the AILs are annoyed. Appa and Choon Hee leave and the Uncles asks their wives for Choon Hee treatment. Instead the wives beat them. I never realized that Korean families are so violent.

Hospital. Dad’s surgery went well and he feels great. Even though it was just yesterday and he’s had no time to heal and with a cancer like that he’d still feel like crap. But he feels great. Doctor declares that it hadn’t spread so Dad won’t need any follow-up chemo. Se Yoon arrives as the doctors leave and Mom gives Se Yoon the good news. Dad wants the engagement party by the end of the month. Se Yoon asks him for more time to think about it.

Chae Won gets the news that she’s likely to be fired and they tell her it would be best if she just quit. So much for giving Se Yoon one more day. Se Yoon’s speaking with President about the bribe, confirming that Chae Won never actually *asked* for money. He asks why the guy did it and President says it’s because Chae Won has always been so strict in her quality standards and the manager suggested that there might be another reason (other than having ethics) and it would be good for them to show some sincerity. So that’s what we call a kickback. Sincerity. Se Yoon asks about this manager – the chick that Joo Ri bribed. Se Yoon hunts down the cooks and asks about the manager. Cook1 says that manager took a leave of absence because her youngest daughter just had surgery. Cook2 is surprised since manager was worried about getting the money but Cook1 says that Manager got a loan from a friend. Se Yoon asks where that hospital is.

Chae Won is defeated at the news that she should quit or be fired. She sees Se Yoon and feels sadder. Cooks are still in Chae Won’s office. Cook1 tells her that Se Yoon was asking things about Manager and then left. Cooks want to know if she’s had news and are upset. They told the Inspection Office that you weren’t that type of person!

At the hospital, Se Yoon meets with Manager. He asks about her daughter’s surgery, sincere with his concern. Then he asks Manager if she knows why he’s there. She tries to pretend not to but Se Yoon tells her that she can confess now and he won’t take any legal action.

Joo Ri and EMIL are out dress shopping. Even though it’s the middle of the day and Joo Ri *should* be working. Although she’s probably not going to have a job much longer, so it doesn’t really matter. Joo Ri’s pouting about Chul Kyu standing up for Chae Won and messing with her plan. The dress shopping cheers her right up. Chul Kyu’s moping but calls Chae Won anyway. Chae Won doesn’t take the call. But doesn’t remove the cell phone battery. Chae Won’s sadly looking at the sign she posts announcing the day’s menu. Joo Ri arrives to gloat. Chae Won preaches when she tells Joo Ri that acting the way she is, *isn’t love* but obsession. Chae Won tells Joo Ri that they aren’t going to be talking anymore and walks away. Joo Ri is furious and when she turns around, there’s Se Yoon. She’s all bright and soberly Se Yoon tells her they should talk.

Se Yoon’s office. He’s behind his desk. She asks about his dad but he cuts to the chase and asks her if she’s hiding anything. She’s like ‘what?’ He repeats the question. She’s still innocent. He grits his teeth and kindly says that he’s asking for the last time and she should tell him quickly, because there won’t be any future chances. She’s ‘baffled’ and asks why he’s being like that all of a sudden. What did he hear? But he’s done. He tells Manager to come in. Joo Ri stutters, asking why Manager’s there. Manager says that Se Yoon knows everything. Se Yoon tells Manager that she can leave. Joo Ri begins to beg Se Yoon to listen to her explanation. He says she has nothing he wants to listen to. She declares there must be some misunderstanding. In reply he tells her that he gave her *three* chances to tell the truth but she wasted them. Therefore, she shouldn’t ask for any more. She pleads with her sunbae but Chae Won arrives. Se Yoon tells her that Joo Ri has something to tell her. Then he gets up and leaves. Joo Ri drops to the floor, looking like she wants to vomit, and apologizes. She says that she was really bad.
