A Hundred Year's Inheritance (Abridged) Episode 21

I mistakenly thought Hong Ju was seeing that longing look in Chul Goo's eyes as he gazed at his ex-wife. Nope, turns out Hong Ju is more interested in finding her damn dog than to notice what other people are up to. 

Chae Won goes into the hotel bathroom, perhaps to apply more pink lipstick that is so popular on this show, and has the bad luck to run into Joo Ri (who is also applying more pink lipstick.) Joo Ri has to brag about her brother's upcoming marriage to a more suitable woman. 

Chul Goo is at the bar - a place where many a groom has started their wedding day - forgoing the glass and drinking straight from the bottle. EMIL comes rushing in to kill his buzz. He's changed his mind about the whole thing. Can't he back out of the wedding? EMIL literally pours more alcohol down his throat in order to get him drunk enough to go through with the ceremony.

As Chae Won is walking through the hallway she once again bumps into Hong Ju. Neither woman says anything. Now I'm confused again as it appears Hong Ju is giving Chae Won the evil eye. So did she pick up on the vibes between Chul Goo and Chae Won or not? 

Se Yoon is at his office enjoying a Joo Ri-free day. He's thinking about Chae Won and how her business meeting is probably over by now. Perhaps he'll just drop by the hotel and surprise her.

The wedding is over and the (un)happy couple are getting ready to leave for their honeymoon. You can just feel the love in the air. Not. Coco the dog is wearing a tiny tux. Normally I hate when people dress animals up in clothing, but in this case he's just so darn cute! Anyway, as EMIL is practically stuffing her son into the limo, Joo Ri is horrified to spy Se Yoon pulling up in his car. Not wanting to be seen near EMIL, Joo Ri quickly ducks away. She manages to avoid being seen but then she realizes he must be here to see her nemesis, Chae Won.

Indeed he is. He finds Chae Won and is back on the "Buy me food!" bandwagon. He makes her take him out to the restaurant where she got drunk. Joo Ri stops long enough to get a haircut, then follows them to the restaurant. After some laughing and flirting, Se Yoon gets serious. He asks Chae Won if she's okay with her ex-husband getting remarried. She assures him that the momma's boy is out of her life although she is a bit sad at having a failed marriage.

Se Yoon decides to cheer up her by taking her to a batting cage for some lessons. More laughing and flirting as we get to hear their theme song yet again. Wonder what happened to their stalker? Se Yoon drops Chae Won off at the noodle house. As soon as he pulls away, Chae Won is jumped by her aunt who wears a rag around her neck all the time. You know, the one who knows Se Yoon's mom from the beginning of the show. Anyway, Aunty wants to know the 411 about what's going on with Chae Won and Se Yoon. Are they dating? They'd better not be dating, Aunty warns. If Chae Won thought her former mother-in-law was bad, she's nothing compared to Clingy Mom.

Speaking of clingy, once again Se Yoon can't come home without finding Joo Ri there waiting for him. As the whole family is sitting down together, Clingy Mom loudly asks Joo Ri about her ex-sister-in-law working at the company. What is her name? What department does she work in? This is the first Se Yoon ever heard about an ex-sister-in-law. Clingy Mom goes on to say she witness this woman demanding a large amount of money from EMIL. Se Yoon now sympathizes with Joo Ri for having to suffer all alone being near her evil sister-in-law (ESIL).

After nursing her lovesick Dad (he's broken up with Choon Hee and she's returning to America), Chae Won can't catch a break as she receives a call from lovesick Chul Goo. He's calling her from the airport, tearfully expressing his fears of having made a huge mistake in getting married. As always, his DramaKoreaness prevents him from seeing his new bride standing right beside him less than a foot away. I don't mean behind him, I mean right beside him. 

Chae Won wisely hangs up on her ex-husband. Hong Ju wisely starts to walk out on her reluctant husband. 

EMIL is at home enjoying all her expensive presents and is shocked to see her son show up. He goes up to his bedroom to discover not only does he have a different bed but his giant teddy bear is gone as well. 

Worried about her lovesick father, Chae Won pays a visit to Choon Hee in an attempt to iron out the elders' relationship. 

The kitchen bitches are sticking their noses into a gift basket Se Yoon had sent to Chae Won's office. Back off, kitchen bitches! But wait, Joo Ri (with an evil smile on her face) is watching from afar. Was she the one who really had the basket sent in an effort to make Chae Won appear to be doing the boss? As I know from my own work experience, the rumors fly around the building faster than the speed of light. 

EMIL has to beat her son out of the bed in order to go get his wife. (Those are some wild pajama bottoms he's wearing.) Hong Ju and Coco are staying in the Crystal Hotel where they got married. Wait, that didn't come out right. Where she married Chul Goo, not Coco.  She refuses to leave with her husband to go to his house. Chul Goo still goes into the bedroom to pack her bags. Just then the doorbell rings. It is Hong Ju's mother (who has a perpetual sour puss) who barges into the hotel room, slaps her daughter for causing so much trouble and then leaves. Hong Ju throws a hissy fit to rival any of EMIL's hissy fits. I'm sure the people in the room next door are hearing all the screaming and stomping. Chul Goo comes out to calm his wife down. Yeah, you've got yourself a certifiable nutcase there, Chul Goo. Good thing your mother has the number to the mental hospital.

In case you're wondering, Chae Won's dad runs after his woman and wins her back.

Clingy Mom, carrying a cup of coffee, is walking into her family's building when she collides with Chae Won. The drink spills all over her expensive designer dress. Chae Won is searching for a handkerchief to wipe the mess away. In that time Clingy Mom recognizes her as the woman who had been arguing with EMIL. When Chae Won reaches out to clean the dress, Clingy Mom tells her to take your stinking paws off me you damn dirty ape!
