(Episode 60)
Ms. Lee.
Please stop staring at me and have some tea.
Well... What happened?
I heard about it briefly at the hospital,
but I have no idea what's actually going on.
Is it true that you took care of the problem...
for Su Hyuk?
Gosh, why can't I ever...
keep my good deed a secret?
Why did you do that?
Well, I was just... I just felt bad.
Bo Ra was really upset after you left like that.
Please try to understand.
You know that my dad and I are two hotheads.
But still...
I'm not sure if it's okay for me to accept such a big help.
It's not like I spent money.
I just said a few words, and he backed down right away.
When people do that, there's always a reason.
I can't tell you the details,
but his family has a business, and my family...
You know what my dad does.
No further explanation is necessary, right?
Please don't worry about a thing and forget all about it.
I used to really enjoy the food you make.
I'm sorry things ended like that.
At least I was able to help you like that.
That makes me feel better.
Had I not been able to help you, I would've felt so bad.
You know that I'm fond of you, right?
Anyway, thank you very much.
Gosh, I was extremely worried for a few days.
I will never forget your kindness.
Oh, please.
If you want to repay me, please keep this a secret.
It's a secret between you and me.
Okay?
What a nice weather.
You call this nice? The heat wave has been issued.
It's normal in summer.
So crops can grow, and people go to beaches.
You sound so positive.
I'm in such a good mood today.
Shall I buy you an ice cream?
I'll treat you first before treating the whole team.
Why are you so excited today?
I just wish every day was like today.
I don't wish for great things.
My family are healthy, and you're with me.
I told myself to be grateful for that.
Until yesterday, you were so serious and made me nervous.
Thinking too much makes my head hurt. It won't make any difference.
I just have to do my best every single day.
I don't think I can break up with you.
While I'm in a good mood, shall I tell you something?
Go ahead.
Let's see how far you will go today.
I will never leave you for another man.
Unless you leave me for another woman.
Mother, it's too hot.
Why don't you ask Sang Chul to give you a drive later?
That's okay. I can go there by subway...
for free. Why would I waste money?
Mother, are you going somewhere?
I'm busy. I'll talk to you later.
Where is she going?
She's going to see her future granddaughter-in-law.
The person she's seeing is her friend's granddaughter.
She sounds like a good catch.
Is that so?
If Mother thinks she's okay, we can trust her.
Could it be that Hae Chan's uncle already has a girlfriend?
No, he doesn't.
How would you know? He might be seeing someone.
He would've told us if he had a girlfriend.
I tried to sound him out several times, but that's not the case.
I'm worried that all he cares about is his work.
What is it?
Nothing.
What kind of daughter-in-law do you wish to have?
I'll be happy with anyone that Tae Jin likes.
He gave us his full support.
I should do the same for him.
I see.
A new gym is going to be opened.
This is what would suit me.
A boxercise gym and a swimming pool.
This would be the perfect business for me.
Mom, I really don't want to take private lessons.
They don't even go to my school.
What's there for you to hate about it?
You're not going to hang with them. You'll study with them.
All our family members talk about these days is his private lessons.
I'll step out briefly.
Give him some snacks and send him home.
Got it?
Hae Chan, don't just waste time because I gave you time to rest.
Prepare for the lessons in advance.
This isn't a holiday.
See you later.
Hae Chan, the sandwich you made the other day was good.
Shall I make it for you again?
That would be great.
- Give me a few minutes. - Okay. Put some extra ham for me.
All right.
All right. Let's see it again.
Baek Ho, what are you thinking about?
If you think of this because of what Mother said, it's a betrayal.
Think about Father.
How can you be like this?
Keep yourself together.
Does your husband...
complain about seeing me?
He seemed very uncomfortable last time I met him.
Why would he stop me when I want to see you?
How could they let you marry someone like him?
Someone like him?
You know what I mean.
He's an orphan. He doesn't have a good educational background.
Don't speak of him like that.
He's a nice person.
I chased after him first.
How could you speak of him thoughtlessly without knowing him?
I'm sorry if I offended you.
It's understandable for me to think that way as your mom.
By the way, why is Tae Jin working at a substation?
I heard he graduated from police academy at the top of his class.
Things went wrong for him.
It's a long story.
He got involved in a complicated situation and got demoted.
Something like that.
You need some powerful people to help you climb up the ladder.
Competency isn't enough to be successful.
Is he seeing anyone?
Why did you sigh so deeply?
Tae Jin, that cold-hearted jerk,
likes a police officer at his substation who has a child.
What did you say?
She's Officer Moo Goong Hwa.
I was shocked. I asked him about her,
and that jerk didn't even deny it.
I can't just make a scene at home.
Grandma will throw a fit.
My gosh.
I don't know what to do.
I can't believe this.
It's unbearably hot.
Shall we eat cold noodles?
How would you like it? Spicy or with soup?
- Sorry? - I sounded like a waitress.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Where should we go?
Shall we go to the restaurant over there?
What's the matter?
You look like you just saw a ghost.
You didn't even respond when I talked to you.
Maybe it's because of the heat.
I should've stepped out alone without you.
How would you have carried the heavy watermelon?
I wouldn't have bought it if it weren't for you.
I should make watermelon salad now.
Could you cut the watermelon in pieces?
It's too big.
Sure. I'll get changed and go out shortly.
What was she doing there?
How long has she been seeing Hee Jin?
I'm sorry I called you over when you're busy.
I heard my husband has plans for tonight.
He's meeting with people related to the police. He'll be late.
Actually, I called you over to ask you about...
the woman that Do Hyun is interested in.
Chairman Jin is rushing Do Hyun's marriage.
I wanted to know how serious...
the relationship between them is.
I see.
Aren't they dating?
I'm not sure about that.
Do Hyun was the person that liked her first.
In fact, Officer Moo's brother caused a car accident not long ago.
Do Hyun helped him with the settlement.
Are you saying that Do Hyun gave her money?
It's not like that.
The victim was the son of Chairman Kim of Sewoon Construction.
Using the relation with Chairman Jin,
Do Hyun seems to have convinced him to agree to the settlement.
Gosh.
I'm home.
Oh, hi. You're home early.
We have an unexpected guest.
I'll go to my room.
What brings you here? My dad isn't home.
I called him over.
I have something to discuss with him.
Discuss?
If you're done, leave now.
Do Hyun.
Then, I'll get going now.
Why did you treat Jae Hee so badly?
I told you that I called him over.
There's no possibility that Bo Ra will date him.
Okay? Don't give him hope.
Don't even meet him unless you have a different agenda.
Is there something else you want to talk about?
Sit.
Gosh, I'm tired. Please keep it short.
To be honest,
I asked Jae Hee to come by to ask him about your love life.
Your dad keeps nagging me to find a nice girl for you to marry.
I wanted to see if I can go ahead and do that.
If you're not up for it, you won't even show up...
to meet the lady like you did last time.
I don't want that to happen again.
Don't set me up with anyone.
Why do you say that? Do you like someone?
If you do, you should tell your dad honestly.
He's waiting for that to happen.
Gosh, why do you keep beating around the bush?
I'm sure Jae Hee already briefed you on what's going on.
You're right.
It didn't sound like someone your dad would be happy to see.
Right, of course.
When it comes to women, my dad and I have such different taste.
I'm trying to help you.
I'll let you know if I need your help,
so please just don't tell Dad about it.
All right.
I will try,
but I'm not sure for how long I'd be able to hold out.
Once your dad gets impatient...
You know what will happen.
Look at you, slacker. You started working without my nagging.
Now, we're going to marinate the pork.
- You two look so lovely together. - First, season it with salt.
- I did a good job with the filming. - Please sprinkle evenly.
Fine. Go ahead and give up.
It looks like Bo Ra has given up too.
I told her about the accident, but she hasn't even called you.
I never told you to tell her about such things.
Why should that even matter? You two like each other.
Give up completely, then.
I'm supposed to meet with Mr. Jung tomorrow.
Come up with 20 copies for the advertisement. Got it?
You better do a good job.
Are you hungry? Shall I make something for you?
No, I'm sleepy. I want to wash up to wake myself up.
He should sleep if he's sleepy.
The victim of the accident is actually...
- What? - Oh, it's nothing.
Mom, I was really moved...
by my colleagues at the substation.
They were so worried about us.
I was so grateful that I almost cried.
- Really? - Yes.
"They truly think of me as their family."
I really felt it.
Then I should visit your work to thank them in person.
Gosh, no. It's okay, Mom.
I said I'd take them out.
I was supposed to treat them for the award anyway.
Gosh, you silly. Why would you want to spend money on such things?
I just have to wake up a bit earlier to make something for them.
Mom, that scares me even more.
Just stay home.
Tell me. Are you worried that I might make a mistake or something?
Hey, I never do or say anything inappropriate.
And I just need to move my hands a few times...
to make food. Why would you spend your money?
Plus, what if they drink when you take them out?
How are you going to afford it?
You're right.
Mom, then just make gimbap and a couple of other things. No more.
Please don't go overboard, okay?
You better not ask me to do it again in the future.
Oh, boy. Here I come,
Chamsu-ri Substation!
Should I not have told her? She seems too enthusiastic.
It's not a newly built hotel. It's just being remodeled,
and that's why advertising is so important.
All the work you do on the old building...
doesn't guarantee a new brand image.
Hence, I've decided to really invest in advertising.
Those days when hotels could be haughty and lazy are over.
They need to collaborate with web portals and do promotions.
They must do cool events in order to survive the competition.
This industry really is a fierce battlefield.
Since I made up my mind to do it, I should do it properly.
Gosh, look at you. You're so excited about the project.
Mom, I said I can carry it for you.
Gosh, please be easy on your arm.
What will you do if it happens again and gets infected?
Here.
Anyway, best of luck.
I have to admit that you do have a point.
Before you officially take office as the CEO,
you should take a course in hotel management.
Goodness, here you go again with your obsession with credentials.
I have all the business theory under my belt.
I just couldn't complete my degree due to the trouble I got myself in.
Gosh, it's not something you should brag about.
I've never seen you so eager to work hard.
You just watch me. I'll cause a sensation in the hotel industry.
I'll look forward to that day.
Gosh, I'm so busy that I won't even have time to date.
Goodness, you silly.
These days,
many hotels invite world-famous chefs for their events...
where they offer high-end cuisine at affordable pricing.
That's right. Many women catch up with their friends...
and do sauna together.
That's what they use hotels for.
That's why hotels need to invest in facilities...
like restaurants and spas.
Do Hyun will figure it out and do a great job.
Don't even worry.
Honey, how about you let Bo Ra run the food and beverage department?
My gosh, she doesn't have the knowledge or experience.
You can have experienced people work under her.
She's your daughter. I bet she has a great business acumen.
I think it'd be a good opportunity...
to groom her into a businesswoman.
She won't have time to think about useless things if she gets busy.
Look at Do Hyun. He sounded so excited when talking about work.
This is why they say people have to work.
I'm not sure about other things,
but I'm confident that I'd do a good job in spa-related things.
Gosh, don't talk nonsense.
Who knows whom Bo Ra will marry?
Honey, please.
I'll just have Do Hyun take care of her.
If she needs money, we'll have him take care of it.
Does that mean you'll give everything to your son?
I won't let that happen.
What's rightfully my share...
has to be given to my son.
Father, why are you out here?
Hey, guys.
Gosh, it's so hot.
- Dad, let's go in. - Yes, let's go.
Hee Jin.
Yes?
Never mind.
Let's go in. Grandmother must be waiting.
Here.
I see. Here.
What do you guys think?
She seems nice.
She's cute,
but to be honest, she's not that pretty.
In terms of looks, she's definitely not on par with Tae Jin.
Looks are not everything.
Grandma, I'm just telling you what I think.
I think she's pretty. She has a kind face.
She looks much better in person.
You've met her in person?
Of course. I went to the pharmacy and met her.
She's very gentle and friendly.
I think she'd be good for Tae Jin.
She's a pharmacist. She's a pretty good catch.
Of course. It's such a stable job.
Does she want to meet Tae Jin?
Of course she does.
When I showed her his photo on my phone,
she got so excited.
Hae Chan's uncle...
I mean, Tae Jin. Women would totally be head over heels for him.
She's from a very good family.
Her parents were teachers,
and all of her siblings are doing well for themselves.
You watch me. I'll do everything it takes...
to make sure I get another great grandchild this year.
Grandma, there aren't that many months left in this year.
I know, right? It sounds like Tae Jin will be so busy.
I hope Tae Jin will like her.
What's with your face?
I'm frustrated.
Tae Jin is in love with someone else.
What's the point of finding another girl for him?
He wouldn't go on a blind date just because he's told to.
What else would he do?
It won't be easy for him to tell the family.
He knows how Grandma would react.
He wouldn't want to shock her.
I don't know about that.
It's a shame he lost Eun Ju though.
What do you like so much about her?
Her whole family is related to the police.
In order for him to become a commissioner general,
he needs power people to help him.
A commissioner general?
Why wouldn't he be able to do that?
Gosh, Hee Jin. I didn't know...
that you were the incarnation of ambition.
Eun Ju is way better than Officer Moo.
I'm not sure if things will go as you want.
Ju Young is late.
He went to see his friends after a long time. He'll be late.
They say that a woman's life can change completely in an instant.
Ju Young's mom became pretty.
Her new hairstyle...
made her look like a noblewoman.
- She's always been pretty. - I knew she was pretty.
I thought she lost her beauty after going through a hardship.
Now she's blooming again.
Are you envious?
Of course I am.
I should help my mom get remarried.
What is it, Mom?
What do you mean?
You look like you can't say something you want to say.
You look frustrated.
What would there be for me to say?
About Ju Young's mom...
Her husband must be nice to her.
Seeing that he gave her money,
I think he's competent too.
In fact,
he's my team manager's father.
Your team manager?
Oh, my goodness.
Are you saying that Ju Young's stepfather is...
your boyfriend's father?
Isn't that funny?
How can it be funny? It's shocking.
Gosh. Why does it have to be him?
Hang on. That means...
If things go well between you...
- and your boyfriend... - Stop.
You're right. I hope that won't happen.
Why are you packing so much food? Are you going on a picnic?
Her team members were worried about Su Hyuk's accident.
We saved a fortune.
I want to treat them to a nice meal.
You're so excited.
Hey. Could there be a widower at her substation?
Stop with your nonsense.
By the way, when I saw Ju Young's mom so happy,
I realized that it's great to have a husband.
I told you that he looked like a nice person. He was well-mannered.
Do you know who he is?
What a small world.
It turned out that he's the father of Goong Hwa's team manager.
Is he the father of the handsome police officer we met the other day?
That's hard to believe.
It's amazing how all of you are involved with each other.
I know.
It's so hot today.
Why didn't you just give her money...
so she can buy them food in such a hot weather?
There's someone I need to meet.
- Look at this. - It looks great.
Please enjoy.
This is awesome.
You made so much food.
This isn't a big deal.
I'd like to...
thank you all.
I heard that everyone here including Mr. Lee...
was worried about my daughter.
It's hard to see people with a good heart like you these days.
I was very touched.
Please don't say that.
You really didn't have to do this.
I haven't had a home-cooked meal.
Mr. Park, you have a wife to cook for you, at least.
Her dishes are not as good as these.
She only gives me kimchi, cooked rice, and fried eggs.
Please try them.
I'm worried they might not be good for your taste.
Thank you for the food.
Awesome. It's so delicious.
Officer Moo, do you eat food like this every day?
I envy you so much.
My mom is a good cook.
Gosh. Don't say that.
Oh, my. Mr. Lee, why aren't you eating?
I'm too touched to eat it.
You have great cooking skills. You shouldn't waste your ability.
Exactly.
If you sell your side dishes, you'd become successful.
It's not that I didn't give it a try.
However, it didn't go well.
I used only good ingredients, so I didn't make a big profit.
I should've focused more on the profit.
I wondered whom Officer Moo resembles. She resembles you.
Yes, she does.
Mr. Cha, please try this.
Yes. I'm eating. Your dishes are good.
Enjoy it.
You must be going through a lot working as my daughter's partner.
Yes. Thank you for this.
Why aren't you eating?
Corporal Jang, please eat. It's really good.
You know I'm on a diet.
You're so skinny. Why would you lose weight?
Goong Hwa never goes on a diet.
I see.
Come to think of it, Officer Moo doesn't gain weight easily, right?
That's right. She has thin bones just like me,
but unlike me, she's plump.
She's thin, and she has narrow shoulders.
- She looks good in any outfits. - Mom...
Please stop.
You're right. Officer Moo has a nice body.
That's right.
Oh, my.
Mr. Cha, you like dishes like this.
Here you go.
Well... Thank you.
Please try this one too.
This can help you stay healthy throughout summer.
Mom, please. Okay?
Mr. Lee, why aren't you eating? Do you have an upset stomach?
Sorry? Oh, right. I'm eating.
Please eat.
Oh, my. What's this doing here?
That's Mr. Lee's favorite...
Exactly.
- I think the elderly man left it. - Right.
Please visit us often.
A substation is more like citizens' rest place.
Okay.
Corporal Jang, why don't you eat some fruits instead?
- It's delicious. - It's so tasty.
It's good.
I think your mother knows about me.
Of course, she does. She's quick-witted.
I told her about you.
What did you tell her?
I said I like you.
What did she say?
She's worried.
Of course, she is.
She must be worried.
Please don't worry too much.
How can I not worry?
I don't want you to worry because of me.
I want you to be happy because of me.
Do you know that you looked like Robocop when I first met you?
- I did? - Yes.
You never smiled. You scolded me all the time.
You were so scary.
I was so nervous around you.
Now you smile a lot.
You tell me sweet things too.
Was I like that?
I'm not lying. This is the best time of my life.
Every single day is like a dream.
Some days were nightmares though.
The moments I spend with you...
including when you told me how you feel make me so happy.
So, are you saying that you like me that much?
- I'm home. - Tae Jin, you're home.
Tae Jin, come here and sit down.
Look at this. She's my friend's granddaughter.
She's 26, and she's a pharmacist.
I arranged a meeting this Saturday. Can you make time for that?
She looks nice.
You should meet her.
It wouldn't hurt to meet her just once.
She's right.
Your grandmother went all the way there and met her.
I like her.
She has a kind face.
Grandma.
There's something I want to tell you.
Hey, what is this about?
Grandma.
I like someone.
(Lovers in Bloom)
Did something happen?
No more chitchat. Get ready for patrol. I'll meet you downstairs.
- He's a nice guy. - How do you know?
I can tell.
- Change your mind. - I can't.
- What? - Are you out of your mind?
- Mom. - Grandma fainted.
It's been a big mess.
You better not bring a girl with no common sense.
I'll bring someone who's very reasonable and righteous,
- so don't complain later. - I'll be looking forward.
Does she know that you're being like this?
She doesn't know anything.
