A Hundred Year's Inheritance (Abridged) Episode 33

Clingy Mom just stands there as the dying nun calls her a thief and orders her to leave immediately. Choon Hee tries to write it off as the sickly woman being confused but the nun makes it clear she knows exactly who Clingy Mom is and she's EVIL

Outside in the rain, Clingy Mom jumps all over Choon Hee for lying about going to America. Smart Gal shoots back at Clingy Mom with her own questions: why is she so upset about Choon Hee being in Korea anyway? Is she hiding something? What was that business with the nun saying Clingy Mom was a thief? Clingy Mom doesn't care to answer any of these questions.

Se Yoon returns Chae Won to the noodle house. He plans to act like her resignation letter never was so she still has her job. He warns her they have to stick together and be strong to overcome Clingy Mom. Chae Won starts slipping into her "I'm not worthy of you" state of mind. Se Yoon quickly puts a halt to this.

While they're still standing outside, Choon Hee and Dad arrive after her bedside vigil beside the dying nun. Choon Hee tells the young couple where she's been and why. She starts to say something to Se Yoon but then stops herself. She invites him in for tea only to have Dad say it's too late at night for tea, Se Yoon needs to go. No ambivalence about how Dad feels about this relationship.

Clingy Mom is on the edge of cracking under all the pressure.

Chul Goo is in the dining room, drinking as always. Now he's wearing his Lego Superman pin. EMIL helps her son up to his bedroom. (I just noticed the wallpaper in his bedroom is the same wallpaper that was in the nun's room at the orphanage.) Chul Goo's beer goggles are so thick he mistakes Hong Joo for Chae Won. Ya know, if Hong Joo were smart she would use this drunken mistake to take advantage of Chul Goo and finally get some from her husband. 

The real Chae Won is in deep thought when she gets a phone call from Se Yoon. He's calling for some late night flirting. Ain't nothing wrong with that. 

Chul Goo wakes up the next day to find Hong Joo all snuggled up with him. Also, he be naked! So maybe she did take advantage of his drunk ass. 

Chae Won is getting breakfast ready for the family when she gets a phone call from Se Yoon. He's calling for some early morning flirting. Let's not go overboard, Se Yoon. Chae Won's disapproving Dad stops disapproving long enough to worry over Grandpa's color not being good. Yep, won't be long before beloved Grandpa is in the grave.

Dad heads off to work and is unpleasantly surprised to find Se Yoon there. Se Yoon knows Dad doesn't like him seeing Chae Won and is striving to win Dad's approval. 

Joo Ri is in the process of being discharged from the hospital when Clingy Mom drops by for a visit. (The actress playing EMIL has lost an earring during the course of the scene but they just keep on filming.) Clingy Mom has come to bring the good news that Chae Won is quitting the company.  Clingy Mom announces she was planning to go see Chae Won's family. EMIL warns her not to go as them bitches be crazy at the noodle house, especially Chae Won's new mother.

Only in DramaLand can an unauthorized, inexperienced person come in off the street and work on a construction site. That person being Se Yoon. He has absolutely no idea what he's doing so of course he's working on the electrical. What harm could there be? Dad is beginning to warm to Se Yoon. Just as long as those electrical wires don't warm to him.

Choon Hee asks her sister-in-law (Aunt with Pink Lipstick) for Clingy Mom's address. She goes there with the intent of talking about Chae Won and Se Yoon but Clingy Mom is so shocked and dismayed that her old orphanage friend knows where she lives that she has Choon Hee thrown own immediately before anything gets said.

After a hard day of actual physical work, something he's not used to, Se Yoon drops by the noodle house to complain about his aches and pains to Chae Won.  She goes to take some herbal medicine to Grandpa only to find him lying unconscious on the floor. The young people rush Grandpa to the hospital for treatment. DramaDoctors have absolutely no bedside manner and so this one simply blurts out that Gramps has pancreatic cancer. 

Grandpa insists he's fine now and wants to go home. He asks Chae Won to keep his condition a secret from the rest of the family. (Choon Hee is the only other one who knows how ill he is.) Grandpa isn't afraid to die, he just worries that the family business of three generations will come to an end when he does. Hint hint, Chae Won. Time to take over the noodle factory.

Joo Ri is hobbling around on one crutch. I keep expecting her to swallow a magic stone and turn into Darna. Clingy Mom has invited Joo Ri to a birthday dinner for Miracle Dad and Joo Ri wants her own mother to go along with her.

Clingy Mom is agonizing over how Choon Hee learned where she lives. Since she never gave Choon Hee a chance to say anything, Clingy Mom worries that perhaps the dying nun told Choon Hee something and that's why the other woman suddenly showed up. Se Yoon stops by to check on his mother and she reminds him of the birthday dinner. She doesn't mention anything about inviting Joo Ri to attend.

Chae Won is saying goodbye to the kitchen bitches. She's decided to quit her job and learn the noodle business from Grandpa while she can. Joo Ri, listening in as always, breathes a sigh of relief.

As Chae Won is leaving the building, Se Yoon runs out to stop her. Here I'm a little bit confused. He tells her his father was so impressed with the success of Chae Won's noodle project that Miracle Dad asked for him to bring her along to the birthday dinner tonight. Did Dad really say that or is Se Yoon making this up to get her to come along with him? 

At the restaurant Joo Ri and EMIL are the first guests to arrive. Miracle Dad thanks them for coming since things have been so strained between their two families lately. Then Se Yoon and Chae Won walk into the room. See, this is why I think Se Yoon lied. Dad has this "What's she doing here" look on his face, so I don't believe he did ask for Chae Won to come to the dinner. Everyone else of course has the "What's she doing here" look as well. EMIL is so upset she jumps to her feet and runs over to give Se Yoon a rather impressive right hook upside the head. 

At least she keeps both earrings on this time.
