I Do, I Do Episode 1

Ji An is peeping from a door and starts to run like hell. She goes out of a hotel and is met by the blinding light of the sun.

Tae Kang is dragged by his dad to the district office and he wants Tae Kang removed from the family register. They get out of the building. It was revealed that the rules have changed about removing someone from the register. Tae Kang's dad declares that he's still gonna throw him out for using his savings on buying a motorcycle. Then he kicks the motorcycle and leaves. Tae Kang was only too glad to be left alone with Beyonce, his motorbike.

Tae Kang starts to ride his motorbike happily until Ji An crosses the street. Tae Kang avoids hitting her and ends up falling from his bike. Ji An stands up and asks if he's okay but Tae Kang lashes out on her. Ji An says that she was on the pedestrian lane and that a person's health is more important than the motorcycle. Tae Kang says she looks fine and accuses her of fraud. Ji An gets pissed and dismisses the conversation since she's in a hurry. She realizes there's a heavy traffic. She then makes a deal with Tae Kang to shoulder the repairs if he'll give her a ride. They pass through shortcuts, with Ji An squealing the whole time.

Some models are dressing up and putting on shoes. A lady is really mad about something and says this is the reason why she doesn't wanna work with a local brand. Then she says she'll take care of the problem and waltzes off.

Tae Kang stops the bike but Ji An is still holding tightly onto him with eyes closed. When she realized they have arrived, she gets off the bike and runs away with the helmet on. Her team was at the lobby waiting for her and tells her to remove the helmet.

Ji An scolds her team for giving out the wrong shoe size. Then they say that they think there was a different model who came during the fitting. And that there's something fishy about the lady in charge. Ji An scolds them again, saying she needs a solution, not some story. Then she asks for scissors and started ripping the skirt of one of her team members. She asks for other things and starts modifying the shoes. Ji An puts the shoes on the model.

The fishy lady arrives and says she already found a substitute shoe and asks someone to take Ji An's shoe off of the model. Ji An asks the lady to let the model use her shoe but the lady won't hear of it. Ji An then decides to pack up and not participate on the event if they won't listen to her request. The lady eventually gives in.

Ji An runs back to the hotel, Tae Kang goes after her. She finds that the hotel people are already finishing up. She calls her mom to ask what happened, but her father cut the line off before they could even finish their conversation. It turns out her dad is really mad.

Tae Kang waits for him at the hotel lobby to ask for the money for repairs. Ji An again asks for a ride to the train station. She catches up with her parents and apologizes to her dad. The old man is still really mad and says he just wanted to see her. He asks her if she wants him to clear the family register too. Then they leave.

Ji An wanders aimlessly, with Tae Kang following closely behind her. He hands her a tissue. The tears Ji An was trying to hold back starts to surface. But it turns out the tissue has the computation for the repairs. She gives Tae Kang some bills. Tae Kang starts to leave but then he decides to console Ji An. He tells her about what happened to him and his dad at the district office earlier. Ji An starts to laugh then they laugh together.

The two drink together. Ji An says she's an office worker while Tae Kang says he's about to start his own business. The restaurant guy comes and starts offering them drinks with weird names and mistook the two as a couple. The two get really drunk.

Tae Kang offers to take her home but Ji An refuses. He calls a taxi and plans to leave Ji An after putting her inside. He finds out that she lives outside Seoul so he gets her off the taxi. She sits on the sidewalk. It starts raining. Tae Kang sits on the sidewalk too. Then he bids goodbye to Ji An. And just when Ji An thinks she's all alone, Tae Kang was there, holding a big umbrella. They walk away.

Ji An wakes up to find herself in bed with Tae Kang, naked. Things start to get really awkward. They say they both can't remember what happened. Ji An asks Tae Kang to leave first. Tae Kang clumsily dresses up and leaves the room. Ji An is left frustrated about what just happened. She dresses up and goes to work.

Ji An sees her team in a line, all afraid of what she has to say. She sends them to work and she gives Deputy Uhm her card, to buy a new skirt.

Tae Kang goes back to the restaurant to get his bike. His friend, Choong Baek, tells him that his dad has been looking for him. Tae Kang tells Choong Baek about what happened the previous night. His friend laughs at him for saving his virginity for nothing.

Tae Kang goes home quietly. His dad strangles him and interrogates him about the previous night. Tae Kang doesn't reveal Ji An's identity. His dad tells him to hurry and prepare for work.

Ji An is doing her rounds. She overhears one of the customers complaining, saying it's better to buy fake ones than those shoes. Ji An makes a sarcastic remark so the customer lashes out on her. She cuts the customer off and tells one of the staff to escort the customer out. The customer gets even madder and throws the shoes on the floor. Ji An snaps and tries to go after the customer but her staff stopped her. She picks up the shoes and cleans it with her shirt.

Tae Kang is selling knock-offs on the street. It appears he's very good at convincing people.

Tae Kang convinces his dad that they should launch their own brand. His dad gets mad and says that his time has already passed. Choong Baek rushes into them and drags Tae Kang outside. He shows him a book with Ji An in it. They find out that Ji An is really rich.

Tae Kang reads the book while lying down. He seems frustrated about something.

Ji An tells her secretary that they're gonna patrol Itaewon to catch the people copying her shoes. The secretary informs her that the hospital called.

Ji An goes to the hospital. The doctor tells her that she would probably have menopause in 1 or 2 years and that her uterus is like that of a 50 year old woman. Ji An meets with her friend to tell her about the menopause stuff. Ji An actually prefers it because she has no plans of marrying and having kids.

Ji An was walking down the road and stops to look at herself on a glass panel. She then receives a call from her mom, telling her about an arranged dating meeting. Ji An didn't want to go but her mom reminds her about what happened on her dad's 70th birthday. Ji An eventually gives in.

She meets Eun Jung. The guy keeps blabbering about his mommy until Ji An is yawning. Ji An tells him about her menopausal problem. It turns out they were just waiting for one to reject the other.

Tae Kang is trying to sell imitations as always. The police arrives so he and his dad packs the shoes in a hurry.

Eun Jung and Ji An starts to get along really well. Ji An excuses herself for the patrolling. Eun Jung suggests they meet again but Ji An refuses.

Tae Kang and his dad quietly escapes but Tae Kang bumps into Ji An and the shoes fell. Ji An recognizes them and recognizes Tae Kang too. Tae Kang runs off.

Sool Nyeo has no appetite because she's worried about Sae Wa. Tae Hoon urges her to eat, saying she shouldn't worry too much because Sae Wa still has her career. Sae Young has no appetite too so the two women stood up and left the table. Tae Hoon wonders why his and Sae Young's family can't be happy at the same time.

Tae Hoon's getting ready to leave. Sae Young tells him that he should study for bar exams again. His best friend is a financial expert while Dong Hae would become the heir to a hotel. Sae Young thinks he should step up too. Then she asks him money for a new dress. She says it's for modeling on the kimchi commercial, since Dong Hae had become the heir of Camellia. Tae Hoon says Dong Hae wasn't only the face off the business. The things he say makes sense. If Sae Young's gonna replace him, it would probably make matters worse. Then Tae Hoon leaves.

Then Hye Sook reminds him to be strong 'cause she saw Anna and Dong Hae with the chairman earlier. Kwon enters to inform Hye Sook that Mr. Jo wants to see her and Sae Wa. Hye Sook asks Kwon if she knew what it's about, but Kwon only says that Mr. and Mrs. Jo both look upset.

Sae Wa receives a call from someone requesting an interview with Mr. Jo but Sae Wa rejects the request. She receives another call. This time it's Hye Sook, saying the chairman wants to see her. She tells Sae Wa to come over as soon as she's done with work.

Bong Yi goes to the hotel kitchen. She was approached by Sun Ae, asking why Bong Yi was with the chairman earlier. Dae Sam arrives and breaks the news about Dong Hae's relation to the chairman. Sun Ae tells Bong Yi that she's really lucky but Bong Yi says she's just confused. Dae Sam takes the knife from her and says he'll do all the messy work from now on.

Bong Yi was carrying some stuff on her way to the kitchen lounge. She overhears Dae Sam and Sun Ae talking. Dae Sam says that Dong Hae might change his mind about Bong Yi now that he's rich. Or if that's not the case, Dong Hae's grandparents might not like Bong Yi for their grandson. Bong Yi teases Dae Sam and Sun Ae. Dae Sam fiercely denies it. Sun Ae stands up and says she should be the one getting mad, then leaves. Dae Sam goes the other way. Bong Yi smiles but then turns serious.

Dong Hae, Mal Sun, and Anna are talking at the hotel suite. Anna asks Mal Sun if they live at the hotel. Mal Sun answers that they were traveling often so they just stay at the hotel. She would've bought a house if she knew she'd find Dong Baek. Dong Hae says it's fine since they have a place to stay, but Mal Sun won't hear it. She wants to give them everything they didn't have. Anna says she understands because she's a mother too. Mal Sun says they shouldn't hesitate if they need anything. Dong Hae says he's satisfies with what he has. Mal Sun asks if he doesn't want to work at the hotel again, but Dong Hae was apprehensive because of Do Jin. Mal Sun says she'll take care of everything so he doesn't have to worry. Then she excuses herself to go to the ladies' room.

Bong Yi's walking at the corridor, mumbling about how she left her phone with Sun Woo, when she bumps into Sae Wa. She apologizes but Sae Wa snaps at her, telling her to watch where she's going. Then Bong Yi says she wasn't paying attention either, then turns to leave. Sae Wa pulls her back, irritated that Bong Yi talked back to her. She says Bong Yi shouldn't celebrate yet. Then she turns and leaves.

Pil Yong asks Hye Sook how could she lie to them, when she knew full well how miserable they were when they lost Dong Baek. Sae Wa takes the blame for everything. She says she gave Hye Sook the dress and convinced her to keep it a secret. She tells Pil Yong that Anna was the reason Hye Sook and Do Jin lived a lonely life. Pil Yong shouts at Sae Wa because he feels that the girl is being disrespectful to Anna who is old enough to be her mother. He recalls the things Sae Wa did and says she has no morals. Then he makes her leave the room. Sae Wa says this was all her doing so she pleads to leave Do Jin out of this. She leaves. Pil Yong tells Hye Sook that they won't be coming back to her house anymore. Hye Sook tell someone Pil Yong that he let her down. She says that he doesn't care about her at all, when Pil Yong even said that he treats her as his own daughter. Pil Yong says they need more time to think about it all. Hye Sook leaves the office.

Sae Wa was waiting for Hye Sook outside the chairman's office. Mal Sun arrives and tells them that she's giving her shares to Dong Baek. That way, even if Pil Yong gives them his shares, they'll only get half the hotel. Mal Sun leaves.

Hye Sook and Sae Wa goes back to Hye Sook's office, with Do Jin waiting there. Hye Sook makes Sae Wa leave. Then she tells Do Jin that they have to prepare for the worst because Dong Hae might get the hotel.

Do Jin enters his office and sees Sae Wa there. Sae Wa apologizes for getting him involved in all these. She promises to do anything he wants. Do Jin says he only wants one thing from her and that's divorce. Then Do Jin leaves. Sae Wa chases after him.

Dong Hae asks for Bong Yi's phone but Sun Woo wants to give it back to Bong Yi personally. He says they had fun last night and that he'll remember the time they had. Dong Hae just laughs it off and says she trust Bong Yi so Sun Woo should stop with these games. Bong Yi arrives and was surprised to see Dong Hae there. Dong Hae tells Bong Yi that he already got her phone and then he takes her away.

Song Yi asks hervdad why he's being such a coward. Pil Jae says the timing's wrong. Anna, Dong Hae, and Mal Sun are on their way to Anna and Dong Hae's room. Pil Jae stops them and rushes into Anna's room.

He pops the balloons and removes the paper he posted right on time before the three enter. Mal Sun sees Ann's picture and was regretful again that she didn't see it earlier. Anna says that what matters is that they're all together now. Pil Yong enters and looks around the room. Anna and Dong Hae both say that they like this room. It's small but it's cozy.

Sun Ok was cut off. She tries to call again but the number cannot be reached. Kang Jae enters the kitchen and asks his wife what's taking her so long. Sun Ok's worried what to serve to them 'cause they have nothing but a bunch of kimchi. Kang Jae says that's more than enough. Their kimchi is the best.

They're having dinner. Pil Yong compliments the delicious kimchi. Sun Ok asks him if he wants another bowl of rice but he refuses. Mal Sun promises to take them to dinner next time. Pil Yong tells his wife that it's getting late so they should be leaving now but Mal Sun refuses to go. She's afraid that Dong Baek might disappear again. Pil Yong suggests they go to the hotel but Mal Sun wants to sleep in Anna and Dong Hae's room. The Lee couple agrees to let them stay.

Sun Woo's just staring at Bong Yi. Then he takes out a ring (it looks really expensive). He says he's liked Bong Yi for a long time, but he gave up when he heard she was engaged to Nam Yong Gi. When they broke up, he asked to work in Korea. He says he can given her lots of things compared to Dong Hae. Bong Yi says Dong Hae may not be able to give worldly things but he gives more than he has. And Dong Hae has helped her family a lot with the kimchi business. Sun Woo says he'd help in the business too. He can help more than Dong Hae could ever have. Bong Yi tells him that marriage isn't a business deal, then stands up and leaves. Sun Woo tries to stop her but Bong Yi shakes his hands off.

In their room, Anna was already sleeping. Mal Sun is lying beside her while holding her hand. Pil Yong suggests they all sleep too. Dong Hae turns off the lights. Pil Yong says this day is more emotional than when they finished building the hotel. He commends Dong Hae for taking such good care of his mom. And that from now on, he won't have to worry anymore. He'll help him with whatever he wants to do in life so that he can fly.

Sae Wa arrives and asks what's going on but Hye Sook just ignores her and leaves. She asks Joon where Do Jin is but Joon ignores her too.

Sun Ok opens the presents from the Jo couple. She's awed at how expensive those gifts are. But Kang Jae's reluctant to accept since he feels they owe Dong Hae more. Sun Ok says it's fine because Dong Hae appreciates how they treated him and her mom like family. Tae Hoon asks his mom if she still thinks Sun Woo suits Bong Yi better. She doesn't answer and changes the topic. Tae Hoon and Kang Jae smiles and teases her.

Song Yi's making their bed. Pil Jae enters the room. Song Yi thinks her dad feels sad so she said he could just ask Anna tomorrow. Pil Jae agrees and sings her a lullaby. When Song Yi was asleep, he mutters that Anna is not the same person anymore and that he doesn't know what to do.

Sae Young is depressed while tending to the twins. Then she hears one of the twins call her "mom". Tae Hoon arrives and she tells him about it. Tae Hoon says she doesn't look depressed at all. Then he tells her about what happened at their house earlier. Sae Young finally understands why Sae Wa's acting weird.

He asks if there are any developments but Do Jin says that it's just a hypothetical question.

Mal Sun asks the adoption center lady if Anna really is her daughter. Dong Hae asks about the same thing. He looks at Joon and Joon nods.

Sae Wa is still crying in despair, saying how she's worked so hard to get this far. Sool Nyeo blames herself. She says she must be bad in her past life that's why all this happened. Sae Wa still won't give up. She will do anything so that Hye Sook and Do Jin won't lose the hotel. Sool Nyeo says there's nothing much she can do.

Bong Yi pretends to lift her hand so Yoo Jin can see her ring. Yoo Jin notices and asks about it. Bong Yi says she should just give up. Yoo Jin tries to take the ring but fails to do so. She says that there are lots of rings at the bottom of Hangang River so Bong Yi should take really good care of her ring because it might end up at the bottom of the river too.

Pil Jae arrives home, holding a bouquet of flowers. He kneels down and practices proposing to Anna. He calls to Anna outside her room but he got no response. His daughter steps out of their room and sees her. Pil Jae tries to hide the flowers but Song Yi already saw it so he takes her to their room to talk to her. But before he could say anything, Song Yi tells him that she knows what's happening and that it's fine. She's even gonna help him with this. Pil Jae hugs Song Yi.

Hye Sook and Do Jin goes to Hye Sook's office. Hye Sook says that the succession process is unclear now that Dong Baek was found. Do Jin says he's prepared for that. Then Hye Sook says that Dong Baek is someone he already knows.

Dong Hae says that he needs to tell the news to the people they're living with. Anna says they've been really kind to them. When Dong Hae tells his grandparents that they live with the owners of Taebong Kimchi, Pil Yong decides they should all go over.

Do Jin asks his mom who Dong Baek is. Hye Sook says it's Anna but Do Jin wouldn't believe it, saying it's impossible. Hye Sook tries to tell him the complete details but Do Jin still wouldn't accept it. He says Anna already stole his dad from them so how can she be the Jo's lost daughter. He runs out of the office.

Do Jin rushes into the chairman's office but nobody's there. He calls Kwon to ask where Mr. Jo is. He goes out and sees the couple. When he tries to call Mr. Jo, he sees Anna and Dong Hae with them and they were all smiles.

Do Jin goes up the rooftop and cries in despair. Hye Sook follows him there. She tells her son not to cry and that she's always there for him.

Pil Jae and Song Yi are in Anna's room. They're decorating it with balloons for the proposal. Song Yi says Pil Jae should be a super dad from now on because she gave up marrying Dong Hae so that Pil Jae could marry Anna. Pil Jae agrees to do just that.

Kang Jae, Sun Ok, and Tae Hoon arrives home. They're worried about Anna and Dong Hae. Pil Jae and Song Yi enters the receiving room too. Pil Jae's wearing a suit and holding the flowers he had earlier. Song Yi says his dad's gonna propose to Anna. Pil Jae calls Anna and learns that they're already at the gates. Pil Jae goes out with Song Yi. Tae Hoon asks what's gonna happen to Dong Hae and Bong Yi if Pil Jae married Anna. Kang Jae realizes it too so he tries to go after Pil Jae but Sun Ok stops him.

Pil Jae and Song Yi waits for Anna and Dong Hae. Just as they arrive, Pil Jae kneels and proposes. The two were surprised for a moment. Then Dong Hae tells his grandparents to come in. Pil Hae stands up. The Jo couple goes in. Everyone goes out to meet them. Tae Hoon recognizes Mr. Jo and asks what brings him there. Mr. Jo introduces himself as Dong Hae's grandfather. The bouquet slips off Pil Jae's hand.
