So Yi-hyun breaks down in tears at news of Joo Jin-mo's acute leukemia... to Yoo Ho-jung

The Ripple Effect of Yang Seon-chul's Portrait, Cha Se-ri's Wailing

The flow of the drama changed abruptly when Yang Seon-chul's (played by Joo Jin-mo) funeral portrait, which had been hidden in a drawer, caught the eye of Cha Se-ri (played by So Yi-hyun). While processing paperwork after receiving notice that Yang Seon-chul had disposed of a building, Cha Se-ri was overcome by an ominous premonition upon discovering the photo.

Unable to overcome her anxiety, Cha Se-ri immediately called Yang Hyun-bin (played by Park Ki-woong), strongly interrogating him about where his grandfather had gone on his trip and demanding he tell the truth. Upon hearing from Yang Hyun-bin that Yang Seon-chul was suffering from acute leukemia and was in such a serious condition that he could barely endure bone marrow transplantation or chemotherapy, Cha Se-ri eventually collapsed to the floor and wailed.

Only then did Cha Se-ri realize why Yang Seon-chul had been in such a hurry to arrange Yang Hyun-bin's blind date, and why he had changed his mind to push for marriage with Gong Ju-ah (played by Jin Se-yeon). Realizing it was her grandfather's final act of consideration, Cha Se-ri went to Han Seong-mi (played by Yoo Ho-jung) and knelt down to apologize, saying, "I will make it up to you, Doctor."

Conflicting Approval Ratings and Gong Ju-ah's Declaration of an Elopement Marriage

Political conflicts continued. Jeong Gong-jeon (played by Kim Seung-soo) fell into deep thought after confirming that Yang Dong-ik's (played by Kim Hyung-wook) approval rating had dropped to 0.3%. Han Seong-mi comforted Jeong Gong-jeon, saying that one must hit rock bottom before they can rise.

Cha Se-ri stepped forward to find ways to raise the approval rating, but Yang Dong-ik refused to listen to her, declaring he would only listen to Jeong Gong-jeon. In response, Cha Se-ri showed signs of being sulky. During this process, Gong Ju-ah encountered Cha Se-ri at a VIP golf event. Despite Cha Se-ri's rebukes, Gong Ju-ah cheekily brushed it off, saying, "Please look upon my efforts kindly as the effort of your future daughter-in-law."

Gong Ju-ah showed an active attitude by handing Cha Se-ri an agreement to prevent mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts. When Cha Se-ri snapped, "Do you think I'll allow this marriage?", Gong Ju-ah revealed her plan for an elopement, saying, "Then there's nothing we can do. We'll just have to go to Argentina with Hyun-bin and never come back."
