The Impossible Heir Episode 4 Recap

The episode goes back a little with Mrs Kang retrieving from her safe, the USB sent by Attorney Chu which contains all of her husband’s dirty deeds. She goes to meet Chairman Kang where he’s eating in his office and threatens to expose him if he doesn’t return the center to her son. Chairman Kang instead tells her he knows of she and her son’s betrayal and how they used her brother Jang Noik’s foundation to support Jo Sundong’s campaign. Mrs Kang doesn’t care that he knows and still insists he give her son the center. Mrs Kang continues her insults despite seeing Chairman Kang’s discomposure due to his heart.

Now we see when he collapses and she leaves to his fate. Tae Oh arrives and after sometime, he calls 911. Meanwhile, the prosecutor who had raided Kangoh offices gets a call from his superior requesting him to withdraw. He immediately does so but in the car, while leaving, he’s completely enraged.

The entire Kang family enter Chairman Kang’s hospital room to see him in a terrible state. Kang Inju accuses Mrs Kang, Seonju and Huiju of keeping Chairman Kang’s health problem a secret. They all start to banter while Mrs Kang pretends to be devastated over her husband’s health. Just then, Tae Oh enters the hopital ward and tells them the doctor wants them all out of the ward so that Chairman Kang could recover. Inju is irritated with him but Mrs Kang insists they leave for Chairman Kang’s sake. 

While they are leaving, Huiju stares surprisingly at Tae Oh unable to move until Mrs Kang calls her attention. Tae Oh acts as if he didn’t notice her. On their way to the car, Mrs Kang reminds Huiju to attend the meeting with Dejong family to discuss her marriage. Huiju is stunned considering Chairman Kang’s state but her mother says they have to hurry to ensure the marriage goes through. She tells Huiju to try and support her brother. Mrs Kang and Seonju leave and Huiju calls someone and asks if they have located Ko Huichan yet. (The man they want her to marry)

In their cars, everyone is discussing. Kang Inju’s wife tells him he should have pretended to be worried for his father but Inju tells her rudely to keep quiet. He’s more concerned about getting Tae Oh on his side and when his wife suggests he should try and get him together with Huiju, he refuses her plan immediately threatening to divorce her.

Mrs Kang tells Seonju that there is an important anonymous person who leaked information to the prosecutors. Seonju is determined to find out who that person is.

While in the hospital, In ha sends Tae Oh a text message to meet him outside. Once they are together, In ah is hostile as he asks Tae Oh if he can really trust him. Tae Oh assures him that he can, as he’s doing everything to ensure their plan pulls through. He tells him to wait for him. In ha who is frustrated and says he will try to wait for him. In ha threatens that if he betrays him, he would expose their plan and drag him down with him. He leaves in anger. Just then, he gets a call from someone saying Kang Inju would like to see him.

He meets Inju at a luxurious pent house. Inju promises to give him the house providing he works for him but Inju savagely rejects him saying if he wants his loyalty, he would have bought him something bigger and adds that only a crazy person would agree to work for him. Tae Oh leaves and while he’s about to enter the elevator, he sees a tough looking man holding a baton but the man walks past him and enters the pent house to meet Inju. Inju then takes his anger out on him by hitting him with the bat. After he was done releasing his anger, he orders him to watch Tae Oh all the time 24 hours a day and report to him on what he’s doing.

Tae Oh and Hye Won meet on the roof top. He tells her that he wants to be comforted because he’s having a hard time but Hye Won responds that she doesn’t have it in her to comfort him at the moment. She asks him what they can do now that Chairman Kang is unconscious but Tae Oh tells her she cannot demand answers from him since she refused to comfort him and that only In ha could demand anything from him.Hye Won gets angry and says that very soon, she would be able to demand things from him. Tae Oh realises she’s talking about her marriage to In ha and tells her to try something else and overcome the crises on her own. Hye Won feels he’s scolding her but Tae Oh doesn’t care.

Next, we see Tae Oh driving that night to the hospital to meet Chairman Kang who is actually not sick but healthy. It turns out that they had planned it in other to expose the others true intentions and stop them from going against him. He lets Chairman Kang know that there are people he would need in his plan. First, Prosecutor Ha Myungjin (The main prosecutor who had ransacked the office) He used to be a cop who later became a prosecutor. He has no connections. Then Tae Oh tells Chairman Kang to use In ah, his third son. Chairman Kang isn’t happy to hear this but Tae Oh convinces him to use him for now until  when he’s no longer useful. Since he’s still his son, he would be able to do what his brothers cannot do. Chairman Kang agrees but on the condition that In ha would not get greedy and try to take over Kangoh. He tells Tae Oh to personally draw up the contract.

The next day, Tae Oh is watching as professor Chae enters the building with Seungju feeling proud because he thinks that with the Chairman gone, he would rise in ranks under Seungju but Tae Oh is amused because he knows the truth. All of a sudden, Hye Won calls him to let him know that In ha has disappeared. Tae Oh immediately rushes to In ha’s apartment and meets with Hye Won who is worried since he’s not picking his calls or answering her texts. Tae Oh then closes the windows and sees a graphic image of the sea on his ceiling. He tells her to stay behind as he knows where In ha is.

Meanwhile, In ah is at a beach reminiscing about his mother’s death, seeing her lying in a pool of blood after commiting suicide.

Meanwhile, Seonju is in his room getting dressed for work when his mother comes in and encourages him to do well since he would be starting at the center. Suddenly, Kang Inju barges in and yells at them for trying to take control of the company. It is here that we know that Mrs Kang is his step mother after she warns him not to talk back at her but Inju is unhinged. Then, Seonju reminds him that he can’t take control since the prosecutors are still investigating him. Inju leaves in anger and Mrs Kang says that they have to get rid of him. Seonju suggests they ignore him but Mrs Kang feels that dumb and impulsive people like him are more dangerous.

Tae Oh finds In ha at the beach and calls Hye won to let her know. Then he directly goes to meet him but In ha says he wants to be left alone but Tae Oh then tells him his father is actually well. In ha feeling betrayed punches him on the face and yells that he should have told him. He accuses Tae Oh of not trusting him but Tae says he trusts him, just not the situation.

In ha tells him not to play games with him but Tae Oh replies that he bet his entire life on In ha just for him to think he’s playing games? He yells at In ah saying he didn’t want to drag him into this. He tells In ha that he’s doing everything for him but In ha doesn’t believe him and asks if he had never wanted anything for himself but Tae Oh replies that making him the ceo of Kangoh is the real reason he exists. In ha asks Tae Oh if except for him, there was anything else he wanted but Tae Oh insists that In ah is the only thing he wants. Him and only him. (Cough…Sound like a bl to me)

In ah then slumps his head in defeat and Tae Oh tells him to come with him because the Chairman wants to see him. He tells him this is the start.

Meanwhile, Huiju goes to see Ko huichan at a nightclub where he’s surrounded by women. She tells the women to leave since she has something to discuss him Ko huichan. Ko Huichan dismisses the ladies. When they are finally alone, Huiju tells Huichan to tell his parents to call off the wedding since she has no intentions of marrying him. He asks her if she has a lover but Huiju doesn’t answer that and tells him to do as she says. She leaves but her attitude catches Ko huichan’s interest and he calls his parents to let them know he intends on dating Huiju.

Tae Oh is driving into the parking lot of his apartment complex when Huiju suddenly appears in front of his car. He screeches to a halt, shocked and gets out of the car to scold her for being unserious but Huiju replies that she has always been serious. He’s just the one who ignores her. 

Tae gets back into the car and parks it. Then he comes out and starts to walk past Huiju. Feeling slighted, Huiju takes off her heel and starts hitting his car with it causing his alarm to ring out repeatedly. Tae Oh then stops her and gently helps her to wear back her shoe. Huiju tells him she would make sure he marries her but Tae Oh tells her it isn’t possible because her parents would never let that happen. She should stop acting like a princess because her fairy tale life would never happen. Huiji insists that she would make her fairy tale life a reality and that she would protect him but Tae Oh tells her to protect herself first before thinking of protecting him. He leaves her in a  disillusioned state (Sigh…she’s always getting ruthlessly rejected)

Tae Oh enters his apartment and plays his old tape recorder to calm himself down. 

The next day, Mrs Kang resumes office as interim chairman at the board of directors meeting but then recommends her son Sengju to become chairman in place of his father. Everyone applauds, unanimously agreeing to the decision. Just then, the hacker processes a thousand shares into Kangoh securities which is under Seunju’s control. This means that in a day, over five million shares was bought into the Kangoh securities branch. The entire company is thrown into disarray.

Meanwhile, Mrs Kang goes to see the ‘unconsious’ Chairman Kang to gloat that her son would become the chairman. As she’s busy gloating, Seungju receives a call about an abnormal amount of stocks deposited into their account.

At the company, Sengju is shocked at this. He can’t understand how such a thing happened. Meanwhile, Inju is rejoicing at his suffering. Seunju’s assistant lets him know that the prosecution has summoned him.

Tae Oh relays the current situation to Chairman Kang. He tells him that the recent situation has violated excessive issuance of stock which could land Seunju into trouble. When Seunju receives summons from the prosecution, he tears the document into shreds in extreme anger.

In ah finally meets face to face with Chairman Kang, the first time in his life. He took credit for the shares incident and Chairman Kang asks him what he wants in return. In ha remembers when Tae Oh tells him at the beach not to cower before his father. In ha remains firm and tells Chairman Kang he wants to be acknowledged as his third son, as Kang In ha. At first, Chairman Kang tries to intimidate him but seeing he won’t budge, he simply tells him to sing the contract waiving off his right to his company. After that, they could discuss well. In ha doesn’t hesitate and signs the contract.

The next day, reporters flank around Seunju as he comes out of the prosecution office. They are demanding answers but Seungju ignores them and enters his car still in disbelief over what has happened to him.

Mrs Kang is angrily cutting away the flowers at her garden when Chairman Kang appears behind her. He makes his presence known and she’s shocked beyond words realising that he had tricked them all along. In anger, she tries to stab him with her scissors but he grabs her hand and tells her that she would never be able to take what’s his. Seunju enters shocked to see the scene before him. Especially that his father is hale and hearty. Chairman Kang doesn’t regard him and simply says he would see him at the board meeting. He leaves and when Seunju tries to speak to his mother, she screams like a crazy person.

Mr Moon and the staffs are surprised to see Chairman Kang in the living room. They welcome him heartily and he tells them to prepare dinner for a guest that will be arriving that day.

That night, In ha joins the family for dinner. Everyone is surprised when he greets Chairman Kang calling him father for the first time. As he takes a seat by the table, Mrs Kang leaves in anger but Huiju is happy to see him and welcomes him warmly.

Next we see Chairman Kang and his escorts driving to the Kangoh company building. They stop in front of the reporters waiting there. Tae Oh brings out Chairman Kang’s wheel chair while In ha helps him onto it. As he’s wheeling him inside, the reporters barrage Chairman Kang with questions. But then In ha publicly calls him his father and asks if he’s ready. The reporters go into a frenzy as Tae Oh watches In ha wheel Chairman Kang inside.

The episode ends.
