A Hundred Year's Inheritance (Abridged) Episode 50

First and most importantly as the series comes to an end I would like to give a great big thanks to the Inheritance Team over at Viki who did such a great (and free!) job providing subs to this makjang. However I continue my hatred of Pop Tarts and their inconvenient ads coming up all the time in the middle of the most important scenes.


And now the conclusion of Stupid Girl and Her Inability To Do Anything.


Chae Won continues to care for the comatose Se Yoon, giving him a pep talk and shaving his face. As she carries the toiletries away she doesn't see the single tear escape Se Yoon's closed eye.

Choon Hee and Clingy Mom continue to bond over Se Yoon and to mend their fences. Choon Hee asks her unni to come back to Seoul but Clingy Mom feels she would do better repenting here at the orphanage where it all started. 

Chul Goo, still at the hospital where Hong Joo had her ultrasound, just happens to be walking past Se Yoon's hospital room when he hears a distraught Chae Won crying out. Chul Goo rushes in to see what the problem is. I think Se Yoon is having a seizure. Either that or someone put a quarter in the bed. 

After Se Yoon is treated, Chul Goo sticks around to comfort Chae Won and tell her about the baby. He finds the courage to go home and finally break it to EMIL that she's going to be a grandmother. EMIL calls Hong Joo both to accuse the girl of lying about Chul Goo being the father and to demand back all the money they paid her to divorce him. Hong Joo simply hangs up on EMIL. That's my girl.

The next day EMIL and Chul Goo are reading in the paper how Hong Joo's corporate family has merged with EMIL's old company and now Hong Joo is the new CEO of the company. EMIL totally changes her tune and declares Chul Goo must get back together with Hong Joo for the sake of the baby.   

Se Yoon finally wakes up. Now it's time to move on to the next crisis. 

Hong Joo drops by the not-at-all-that-bad apartment to see Chul Goo and the family and spread her benevolence (and pregnant belly) everywhere. She invites the clan to move back into their old home which she bought. She even offers Joo Ri and Chul Goo jobs. Notice she didn't offer one to EMIL.

Se Yoon is inundated with visitors, including Dick Dad who finally gives his blessing for Chae Won and Se Yoon to get married. Chae Won starts to hand Se Yoon a glass of water but he drops it. Everyone looks startled. While normally I would point out the guy just came out of a coma so it wouldn't be unusual he couldn't hold a glass of water, instead I'll say this is the next crisis I was just talking about.

Oh no, and here comes Dr. Doom to just casually mention that yeah, Se Yoon may have some nerve damage and never walk again. Or maybe not.

Now that Dick Dad has given his permission, Chae Won is all for them getting married. Hold up, girlfriend. Now it's Se Yoon and his hangup with being paralyzed that has put a stop to any wedding plans. 

EMIL is happy to be moving back into the old homestead. She asks Hong Joo if Mrs. Park is back as well only to be told that Hong Joo sent the prison matron away. After all, why would they need her when they've got EMIL to do all the cooking and cleaning? [Insert big wide grin here.]

Se Yoon begins his physical rehabilitation. 

Chae Won drops by his hospital room only to find it empty. A nurse tells her that Se Yoon is planning to leave on a trip. Down in the lobby Chae Won runs into EMIL who has just been to see her therapist. Since EMIL feels she's being treated rotten by her DIL, she thinks she understands Chae Won more now and makes a kind of, sort of, almost apology for being such a bitch all this time. 

Chae Won returns home to find no sign of any of her large family. She gets a call from one of her uncles saying that their very important shipment of noodles to a banquet were spoiled and there's food poisoning everywhere. Chae Won dashes off to see about this new crisis.

When she gets to the banqueting hall its to find just about the entire cast is there dressed in their Sunday best. It's a surprise wedding! For the third time in this drama Chae Won wears a bridal gown. (Is this a Kdrama record?) Happy music plays as both of Se Yoon's mothers help push his wheelchair down the aisle. When Chae Won makes her walk up the aisle and joins him, Se Yoon surprises everyone (except the audience) by standing up. 

Flashforward to the 101st Anniversary of the noodle factory. The family is cooking up a storm for their customers. Grandpa's voiceover from the Great Noodle Factory In The Sky talks about how great noodles are. Noodles, damnit! It's all about the noodles!


The End
