(Lovers in Bloom)
- Hee Jin. - How did you know I was here?
What are you doing here?
Whom are you waiting for?
- Get up. - You go first.
I'll leave shortly.
I said, get up!
Hee Jin.
Mom.
What... "Mom"?
Please have a seat.
(Episode 55)
Why did you follow me?
Well, I was just worried about you.
We met like this.
I wanted to introduce myself to you properly.
I don't know what to say.
I wasn't expecting this at all.
- You should go home. - Why are you being like this?
I ran into Hee Jin a little while ago.
I see. Please feel free to talk to me casually.
I want to see her often from now on.
I see.
You may not be happy to meet me like this.
Gosh, that's not true at all.
By the way,
do you know about Father?
He got remarried recently.
Why are you bringing up something so unnecessary?
Do you think that I came to see my children because...
I want to get back together with him?
No, that's not what I meant.
I want to do things...
I haven't able to do for my children over the years.
That's all I'm thinking.
- Right, I see. - I want Hee Jin...
to live a comfortable life now.
Think about what you want to do and let me know.
I'll help you.
Pardon me?
Things should go well for you...
for Hee Jin to be at ease.
Hey, what are you thinking?
What do you mean?
Are you going to keep seeing your mom?
What's wrong about it? Why can't I see her?
Hey, if Grandmother and Tae Jin find out...
For now, don't tell anyone. Got it?
Unlock the door.
Goodness.
Gosh, that woman...
What will happen now, then?
I have two mothers-in-law now.
What if something happens?
Sir, you're the man from the other day, right?
Do you remember me?
Yes. You're the tall man who threw trash...
on the street.
Forget the latter. Can you just call me Mr. Tall?
Then will you not throw garbage on the street anymore?
That's right.
Okay. Then I'll call you like that from now on.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
Do you like your bike?
Yes, I love it so much.
Isn't it so cool?
Santa Claus gave it to me as a gift.
Santa Claus?
I see my grandma.
Gosh, where did she go?
Grandma!
Where were you?
My gosh, be careful.
I was talking with Mr. Tall over there.
There's no one there.
He's over there.
Oh, he was right there.
Mr. Tall.
Gosh, you.
I told you to never talk with strangers.
My gosh, it's so hot. Let's go inside.
Let's go. Come on.
He was right there.
Ms. Lee has lost a lot of weight in just a few days.
Gosh, you should've caused a scene. You just walked out like an idiot?
Where's their house? Let's go. I'll teach those people a lesson.
Gosh, please.
My blood is boiling!
How could you stand your son being treated like that?
I don't even know.
I have no idea how...
I can breathe and be alive right now.
I'm speechless.
Hey, you need to keep yourself together, okay?
Don't break down and cry in front of your children.
My gosh...
I won't cry, of course. This can't knock me down.
I'm totally fine.
I'll earn a lot of money at all costs...
to make sure that my children will never be...
treated like that.
Goodness.
You used to go on about how pretty their daughter is.
I know, right?
I really wished I could have a daughter-in-law like her.
She broke my son's heart into pieces.
After letting you go like that,
your mom was very upset about it.
I'm sorry.
It's okay. Please don't worry about it.
Actually, it made me think...
the two families should gather and have a meal together.
I see.
Hello.
I'm from the building management office.
I'm just wondering what time you'll move out tomorrow.
We'll move out early in the morning.
Okay.
Are you moving out tomorrow?
Yes. We're moving to another office.
I see.
Where are you moving to?
Su Hyuk is looking into it.
Please don't tell my mom yet.
Sure. Of course, I won't.
Don't worry.
So... How did it go?
What did Ju Young say? Didn't he get angry at you?
Why would he be angry? He was worried about you.
Was he?
You did a great job in raising your son.
He's very thoughtful for his age.
He's been a very good son since he was a little child.
He didn't do anything...
that seemed hard for me.
I can see that.
The more I see him, the better he seems.
Right? He's similar to Hae Chan's uncle.
Gosh. I told you to call him by his name.
He's very nice to me,
but he's difficult to talk to for some reason.
That's what he's like.
Where are you going?
Since you treated my son nicely, I'll do something nice to Mother.
Mother, what are you doing?
I was organizing my closet because I couldn't fall asleep.
Why didn't you tell me to do it?
That's okay. I can do it myself.
When my mom was alive,
I hated it when she organized the closet at night.
Why? Did it look like she was preparing for her death?
Mother.
You should keep your things organized before leaving.
Mother, please. I'll get angry if you keep saying such things.
Good. I've always wanted to see you getting angry.
Please don't be like that. How about I dye your hair...
for a change?
What?
That would be a hassle. Why would I do that?
If you have your hair dyed, you'll look 10 years younger... No.
You'll look 20 years younger.
What are you going to do after making me look younger?
Are you going to be friends with me?
You're still beautiful. I don't want you to waste your beauty.
Gosh. Sang Chul must be nice to you.
You became chatty again just like when you first came here.
Why are you sighing so deeply?
I thought you were sleeping.
What's the matter?
Is there any problem between you and Hee Jin?
No, there isn't.
- Baek Ho. - Yes?
Why are you so startled?
Why did you call my name all of a sudden? You startled me.
Did you do anything wrong to me?
I didn't do anything wrong. Please believe me.
I'm telling you...
Gosh. Seriously.
Those eyes always make me feel like I'm in front of a detective.
You know what I would do...
if you shove my wife around just because you're the owner, right?
You know me.
Please take good care of her,
so she can be in good terms with Hee Jin.
You know what I mean, right?
Yes, I do.
- I'll go in. - Okay.
I'm sorry, Father.
- It smells so good. - Here you go.
Su Hyuk, you're good at grilling meat.
You bought a lot of meat.
They say enjoying food is the best thing in life.
I can't buy you expensive rib eye, but I can buy you pork belly.
Thank you, Ms. Lee. I'll enjoy this.
Thank you for the food.
Hey. You should let your elder start eating.
Gosh. You don't even know what I meant to do.
Ms. Lee, here you go.
Okay.
It's so delicious.
Mom, I'm moving out of my office tomorrow.
All right.
If it's okay with you, you can work at home.
Why would we spend extra money on your office?
- You did the right thing. - Mom.
I promise I'll make it a success.
Of course, you will. You're my son.
To be honest, I'm not worried at all.
I'd be happy if you all just stay healthy.
What else could I wish for?
Mom, you're just so cool.
Everyone, please raise your glasses.
Let's toast to Ms. Lee.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
- Cheers. - To my mom!
This beer is good.
Woo Ri, enjoy the meat.
Why did Do Hyun sleep out again?
He must've had a drink.
Gosh. I have only two children,
and they're much harder to raise than other people's.
Let it go, and pull yourself together. Do you hear me?
Honey, stop.
I will not marry Jae Hee.
If you force me to marry him,
I will go back to the US.
How would you do that?
I have enough money to buy a flight ticket.
I'll get any job I can find.
Also, I've saved some money.
How dare you?
I'm sorry, Dad.
She makes my blood boil.
Why didn't you let her eat first and talk?
I worked hard to prepare the breakfast.
Exactly. Why did you cook so much for breakfast?
I wanted Bo Ra to eat some...
and make you feel a little better.
Plus, I have something to tell you.
I met my daughter.
She isn't doing well financially.
I want to help her live a decent life.
All right.
You take care of that.
I know that you feel uncomfortable to talk about things like this,
but I didn't want to lie to you.
Okay.
I will be nice to you only from now on.
I don't need those brats who don't respect their dad.
I know you don't mean that.
I'm serious.
They say an evil wife is better than a filial child.
I came to realize what it really means lately.
Gosh. Go on now.
The number you are calling isn't available now.
Please leave a message after the tone.
Hi. Sit down.
Did Do Hyun call you?
No, he didn't.
That brat. What is he doing? Why isn't he answering his phone?
Gosh.
He didn't make trouble for a while, so I thought he came to his senses.
Do you know anything about him?
Nothing you should know about.
Are you rushing the inheritance process as I said?
I'm working on it.
Hurry up.
Also... You never know.
In case that my wife files a claim for division of property,
make sure you're prepared for it.
I understand.
Everyone, listen up.
Officer Moo will...
receive commendation.
Give her a hand!
Congratulations.
- Me? - Of course.
I recommended you.
Congratulations, Officer Moo.
Am I really going to receive commendation?
Yes, it's because you arrested that man for fraud and theft.
You also caught that guy who stole the motorcycle.
You should've received it sooner.
She owes it all to her partner.
Thank you, Mr. Cha.
Look at you, Officer Moo. Congratulations.
Let's applaud her.
Congratulations.
You should take us out for a meal.
- Thank you. - Gosh, stop it already.
How can we help you?
Oh, Bo Ra.
I'm sorry.
Don't worry about it. I want to thank you.
My mom used to talk a lot about you.
She told you about me?
She was very fond of you.
We had no idea she was talking about you.
She was so nice to me.
You must've been very distressed.
Su Hyuk has been going through a hard time because of me.
How is he holding up? Is he okay?
He's pretending like he's staying strong.
I don't know what I should do.
That's why I came to see you.
Well...
I think you should just leave him alone for now.
That's what you can do to help him.
He's having a hard time just holding out through this,
even though he never says that he's distressed.
- I'll get going, then. - All right.
Who was that?
My brother's girlfriend.
The victim of the sexual harassment case?
Why did she come to see you?
That's the thing.
They care about each other so much, but they can't even see one another.
My heart breaks for them.
You're studying so hard, Son.
Is it going well?
I'm trying.
Don't be stressed out.
I'm trying to find an excellent tutor for you.
Studying will become fun when you start getting better grades.
Forget it.
Look at you. How dare you throw a fit at me?
I came home to look after you, even though I'm so busy at work.
I never asked you to do that.
I know that it's stressful, but just hang in there.
I'll send you to a school abroad and let you do everything you want.
A school abroad?
Calm down, Mom.
I'm serious.
I'd love to see you getting out into the big world out there...
and studying as much as you want.
I really want you to live that kind of life.
But studying isn't what I want to do for living.
I'm sure you'll have to study in order to do what you want to do.
You used to read a lot when you were younger.
Text books are different from story books.
Anyhow, I'm rooting for you, Son!
She doesn't even know what I really want to do.
- Did you enjoy the food? - Yes.
- I hope to see you again soon. - Take care.
- Goodbye. - Thank you.
My gosh, it's pretty busy today.
It'd be amazing if every day was like today.
You must be tired. We should hire a part-timer soon.
I told you there's no need to rush.
I can help you out like this whenever you get busy.
By the way, when did your son come back?
I think you told me that he goes to a school in Taiwan.
Oh, that's... I think...
someone asked him for help.
He was recruited.
He must be quite competent.
He's in advertising. I've been told that he's...
pretty good at what he does.
Anyway, he told me that everyone around him says that.
You should invite him over soon. Let's have a meal together.
Gosh, there's no need.
Thanks anyway.
- No problem. - Gosh.
Mr. Kang.
Are you feeling sick? You don't look so well.
No, how can I dare to get sick?
Stop it already.
Well, I should get going.
See you at home, Mother.
All right.
Did you have to say "mother" for that long?
You keep saying that word in front of me intentionally, right?
Gosh, I don't think everyone is cut out for lying.
I can't even face the family.
Tell them if you're that frustrated.
What are you talking about? If Grandmother finds out...
Just thinking about it makes me shudder. Gosh, my head...
Your head must be hurting because you keep shaking it like that.
Go home and lie down for a bit if you're tired.
Forget it. I must deep-fry chickens as I'm not good at anything else.
Getting some help from your mother-in-law...
shouldn't hurt your pride.
These days, men want to get help from their wives' families.
You're so small-minded.
I'm so happy about it!
We're back.
Good work.
- Officer Moo. - Yes, Corporal Jang.
If you're that sleepy, you should go to the night duty room...
or the staff room and get some rest.
I was resting because we get a 10-minute break after patrol.
If people see us sitting like that at our desks,
they'll assume all police officers get to rest whenever they want to.
Got it. I'm sorry.
Officer Moo, you're making me look like a bad person.
- Pardon me? - I didn't tell you to work.
I said you shouldn't sleep at your desk where people can see you.
Go upstairs and get some rest.
No, it's okay. I'm not sleepy anymore.
Then go clean the staff room.
It'll wake you up. That's what I do when I'm sleepy.
Sure, I'll do that.
Hello?
Eun Ju. It's me, Tae Jin's sister.
Yes, hello.
What are you calling about?
Thank you.
I hope you enjoy it.
Please bring us some fries too.
Thanks for coming.
You said there's something you'd like to tell me.
It's nothing specific. I just wanted to chat with you.
You must've been put off by what you heard about my family.
Please don't worry.
If Tae Jin and you get married, we can buy you guys an apartment.
We can definitely do what other families do.
No, I'm sure we can do more than that.
I don't want to let Mr. Cha go either.
I was beating around the bush,
but you got right to the point.
You'd never know by just looking at Tae Jin,
but he's actually very timid.
He can't express his feelings even when he likes someone.
Gosh, what a fool.
Right.
I think you got the wrong idea.
He doesn't have anyone at the moment.
In fact, I think he has feelings for you.
- It's not me. - Sorry?
He's seeing someone now.
He's seeing someone?
- Who? - Officer Moo Goong Hwa.
What... Who?
What is the matter with you? I can't even believe it.
Are you really going out with that woman?
What are you talking about?
I heard you're seeing that woman, Moo Goong Hwa.
The single mom. The widow.
You already know, so let's not talk about it.
Hey, Tae Jin. Have you lost your mind?
- It's not true, right? - It is true.
I like her.
Gosh, you must be out of your mind.
This is my business.
Hey, how can it be only your business?
It's about our family!
I'm warning you.
If you meet her and say unnecessary things, I won't let it slide.
Do you not care about Grandmother?
Come to your senses, please!
I've made myself clear.
Don't bother her, please.
We're just going to eat udon?
Then order dakbal that you love.
Let's have a drink together.
You can't even drink.
Do you want me to finish your drink and black out?
Just drink water, okay?
They have good water here.
Su Hyuk, please.
I have to work tomorrow.
Did the move go well?
We haven't moved yet.
We just packed and organized our stuff.
Bo Ra came to see me today.
I think she got surprised because she saw your empty office.
She seemed to feel terrible while apologizing to me.
I was angry because of Mom,
but I felt bad for her.
Bo Ra didn't do anything wrong.
I didn't know you had such loose lips.
Shouldn't you have kept it to yourself?
I meant to do so,
but I thought I should tell you when I saw her face.
She must've been really desperate to visit me.
She'll get over it.
I'm sure she visited you to get over it.
It didn't look like that.
If she goes to see you again, ignore her.
You sound so cold-hearted. Do you know that?
Are you really my brother I know?
Hello?
Jae Hee, why are you calling at this hour?
Do Hyun did that?
What did Do Hyun do?
Chairman Jin, you're here.
What on earth happened to him?
He drank too much and passed out.
How is he doing now?
They just did gastric lavage.
The doctor said he'll be fine after resting for a few days.
Gosh. How much did he drink?
Honey, stay here.
I'll go talk to his doctor.
Jae Hee, thank you for everything you're doing for us.
Please don't say that.
Bo Ra will get over him soon.
Don't be too upset about it. Give her a little time.
Thank you.
What is it? Do you have something to tell me?
Chairman Jin wants to settle matters regarding his inheritance.
People don't change.
I forgot that again.
Thank you.
By the way,
is something going on with Do Hyun?
He likes drinking, but he's never drunken this much.
He's in love with someone.
Are you saying he's seeing someone seriously?
Yes, but she has a child,
and she's a widow.
What does she do for a living?
She's a police officer at Chamsu-ri Substation.
Chamsu-ri Substation?
(Chamsu-ri Substation)
My goodness!
Why are you so startled?
Nothing.
It hurts my pride to say this, but I'm a little offended.
- Pardon? - Without knowing about you two,
I told you how I felt about him and that I was going to tell him.
I made a fuss about it.
I'm sorry, Corporal Jang.
You're unexpectedly brave.
If I were you, I wouldn't have accepted his heart...
even if he asked me out first.
Corporal Jang.
Officer Moo, leave us.
- Mr. Cha. - Wait outside.
You're right. The person I like is Officer Moo.
You surprised me.
I didn't know you would tell my sister about that.
She would've found out eventually.
That's true.
However, I don't want us to feel uncomfortable around each other.
(Chamsu-ri Substation)
Wait.
I think she's Mr. Jin's mother.
Why aren't you getting in the car?
Right. I'll get in now.
(Lovers in Bloom)
Did you like Officer Moo?
I'm looking for a tutor for Hae Chan.
I looked for a tutor.
Maybe I should learn English before sending Hae Chan to study abroad.
Why don't you take turns driving, at least?
I said, don't worry.
Tae Jin, why did you give her Hae Chan's thing? That's upsetting.
What kind of a person is she?
I want you to treat me as your work colleague.
Is he considering marrying her too?
I'm no longer a 11-year-old boy!
