(Still Loving You)
(Episode 7)
You didn't have to prepare all the side dishes.
We need to have a proper meal if we're having one.
Here. Let's eat.
The rice is warm.
I heated it a little.
Your grandmother always gave me warm rice when I was little.
She believed cold rice would bring you short life.
That's not true.
Still.
I hope my Eun Soo and Eun Ho will a live long and healthy life.
Consider it as your mother's care.
It's delicious.
Your grandmother is good at cooking. Eat a lot.
Eun Soo.
The thing is,
I had a long day today, but this makes me forget everything.
Was it a difficult day?
Kind of.
Actually, it was very difficult.
Being a teacher might seem easy and nice,
but it's actually not an easy job.
Your legs swell because you stand all day long.
That's not all.
You have to please the principal, the vice principal,
your students, and their parents.
No job is easy when you have to deal with people. Right?
The only problem you have is that you try too hard to be perfect.
You learn things one by one through experiences.
You can't do anything perfectly at one try.
Be patient.
You have a reliable boyfriend. Ask Jae Min for help.
I will.
You're right.
You said we'll meet Jae Min's parents this Saturday, right?
Yes.
Mom, can we postpone the family meeting a little bit?
Why? Did Jae Min suggest that?
No. I just have too much to do this week.
Can we postpone it?
I'm glad you said that.
In fact, I got caught leaving the store by the manager.
I worried about telling you that.
It's not good to postpone it many times. We have no choice this time,
but let's reschedule it as soon as possible.
- Okay. - The soup is getting cold. Eat up.
Okay.
(Hankuk Hospital)
Grandma, go home. It's very late.
I told you I'm fine.
I'll stay here with you tonight.
I wouldn't be able to sleep if you're here.
I'd feel bad that I sleep in this big bed and you don't.
The patient should sleep in the bed.
Still.
I'll go home tomorrow. Go home and get some sleep, please.
You're so stubborn. All right, then.
I feel relieved as I finally see you smile.
Gosh.
I'm so worried your hands might get stiff.
What if you can't play the piano anymore?
Don't say that. I can play the piano.
I know. I hope that won't happen.
However, we can't be sure yet.
Try not to be too shocked.
Don't worry.
Then, I'll get going now.
Stay in the bed.
I'm leaving.
- Grandma, see you tomorrow. - Okay.
I'm sorry.
For what?
I'm sorry for everything.
Do you mean that?
Are you completely serious?
Then, slap me in the face.
You hate me, don't you?
I'll give you a chance.
Hit me as hard as you can until you feel better.
I'm sorry.
I mean it.
I said to hit me if you're sorry.
Or I'll hit you.
Here. Hit me.
This is how you should hit me.
Hit me now.
Do you want me to hit you instead?
Hit me harder.
I'm not as good as Mom.
Grandma, can I just play the piano as a hobby?
Why would you waste your talent you got from your mom?
I have a good ear for music.
You're very talented at playing the piano.
You're home, my princess.
Bit Na. Bit Na, what happened?
Who did this to you?
My homeroom teacher did.
- What? - Grandma...
My goodness.
Grandma, I'm sorry.
(Jaemyoung Girls' High School)
Hello?
She's not available at the moment. Can I take your message?
This is Reporter Park Gi Cheol from Neulpum Daily.
I heard that Ms. Oh Eun Soo hit one of her students.
Is it true?
Hello?
Yes, it is.
Newspaper?
Where is Ms. Oh?
Hasn't she come in yet?
She's being investigated in the counseling room.
Sir, we have a problem.
There's a post about our school on the internet.
It says our student has been hit by a teacher and hospitalized.
What... What did you say?
It doesn't say our school name, but some people know it's our school.
Oh, my. Someone mentioned our school name on a comment.
What should we do?
Are you saying you never inflicted corporal punishments on her?
Yes, it's true.
Please believe me.
Could you tell me what happened in the bathroom that day?
No, we were just chatting.
We were just chatting. Right?
Yes. She's right. We were just chatting.
In the 11th grade,
Bit Na didn't...
like me.
We used to be close when we were in the 10th grade.
I see.
It's the Office of Education. So don't be afraid.
Shall I go with you?
No.
If I go with you, people would think I'm spoiled.
I'll take care of it.
I'm not afraid anymore.
Okay.
Go on now.
Bit Na...
Please come in.
- Are you Kim Bit Na? Come in. - Yes, I am.
You keep saying the same thing as we repeat the questions.
First of all, let's make clear about this.
We heard that Ms. Oh punished her students.
Ms. Oh, did you make them sit on their knees with their hands up?
Many students testified that they saw you do that.
Are the students you punished Jung Jae Eun and Park Bo Mi?
That's correct.
Haven't you heard that no corporal punishment is allowed?
Yes, I have.
But I don't think it was harsh punishment.
You punished them even though you knew it.
Do you think the Office of Education sends schools notice for fun?
For the last time, I'll ask you again.
Did you commit violence to Bit Na in this counseling room?
No.
I never did that.
Bit Na, is that true?
No. I surely got hit by her.
She hit my face and hands.
Bit Na, that's not true.
Tell them the truth.
You hit me. Please stop lying.
Why are you doing this to me?
What you're doing now is completely wrong.
Both of you, please calm down.
We called Oh Jung Ah as she witnessed the incident.
Will you accept her testimony?
Yes, I will.
Are you Oh Jung Ah?
Yes.
On the day of the incident,
did you see Ms. Oh and Bit Na in this room?
Yes.
What were they doing here?
Ms. Oh was...
hitting Bit Na.
Jung Ah, why are you lying? That's not true.
Ms. Oh, please remain quiet.
Go on.
Ms. Oh hit Bit Na's face and hands.
Bit Na apologized,
but Ms. Oh went on.
Guys, there are articles about Ms. Oh on the internet.
Really?
(Teacher Investigated for Violence against Student)
- It's unbelievable. - What's going to happen?
(Hankuk Department Store)
Organize the warehouse?
Do it as soon as you finish your work.
Check the inventory and the new products.
Can you finish it tonight?
Why aren't you answering me?
Okay, I'll do it.
It seems like you got on her wrong side.
It's my fault.
I'm sure things will get better.
Has anything happened in your family recently?
You rarely smile, and you look haggard.
It's probably the season. I don't have much of an appetite.
I'll be fine.
Is it because this house is so old?
Dust piles up so fast.
Pants go here.
Why is this hidden so deep inside?
She never takes the medicine I gave her.
Eun Soo?
What are you doing here?
I'm just taking a rest.
Let's go.
I got to know him recently. He's kind of weird.
But he's very cool.
Right. I read an article about a teacher who used violence.
The school is in Jongno-gu. Could it be where you work?
Are you her by any chance?
I'm just joking.
What's wrong?
Is it really you?
Or is it the school you work at?
Eun Soo.
Don't tell Mom and Grandma.
Did you really do that?
No, I didn't.
Eun Ho, I really didn't do it.
Then what?
Later.
I'll explain when things settle down.
Please don't tell Mom and Grandma anything, okay?
Okay.
Thank you. Let's go.
(Hankuk Hospital)
Congratulations, President Kim.
Thank you.
I wish I could sit in that chair.
I had to give it up to you, so you better do a good job.
I'll keep an eye on you.
Don't just keep an eye on me. Please help me a lot.
For free?
I'll treat you soon.
That sounds good.
We'll go back to our patients now.
- See you later. - See you.
(President Kim Jae Woo)
You've been working so hard.
I'm so happy your hard work is finally paying off.
Congratulations on your promotion.
Bit Na? She's at school.
She insisted...
saying she shouldn't skip more classes.
Ms. Oh.
You can't teach students for the time being.
Vice-principal.
She should still teach students.
Otherwise, it'll cause the students trouble.
Parents' complaints are pouring in.
If Ms. Oh teaches the students and it becomes a problem,
will you take responsibility for it, Mr. Shin?
The principal thinks the same, so stay out of the classrooms.
Jung Ah.
Why don't we have some ramyeon during the break?
It's my treat.
Okay.
What's going on?
I don't know.
- It's an English class. - Why is he here?
It's an English class.
What is this? This is unfair.
- The exams are coming up. - What is this?
Be quiet.
There will be no English class today. Please study on your own.
- Okay. - Gosh.
Bit Na.
I need to talk to you.
I heard that many things happened between you two.
That's right.
Did you exaggerate the situation...
because of your personal feelings?
Are you taking her side because you're a teacher, too?
As far as I know,
although Ms. Oh can be overzealous sometimes,
she isn't a bad teacher who commits violence toward her students.
Do you know her very well?
You two must be very close. Is she your girlfriend or something?
I don't know what she told you about what happened,
but you were probably deceived.
She's getting back at me for what happened at the department store.
It's not my fault that my family is rich.
I was just being myself. Is that bad?
I'm disappointed in you.
You're doing this to me after only listening to Ms. Oh.
I thought you'd be different.
You're no different from Ms. Oh.
- Hi, Mother. - I just heard...
a teacher at your school used violence.
I guess it's not you.
It's not me.
That's good.
Never get involved with teachers like them.
We're a teacher family.
Be careful not to make any rumors.
Tell Eun Soo so as well.
Okay.
Can I meet Eun Soo's mother soon?
When can I meet her?
I'll tell you at home. I have a class now.
Okay.
My granddaughter's attorney will be there on behalf of her.
How serious will the punishment be?
Please follow the law.
My granddaughter has already become a victim,
but this should never happen again.
She must get an exemplary punishment...
so that such a thing won't happen again.
Thank you for your help.
I'll get in touch soon. Let's meet up.
Okay. Thank you.
Grandma, who was that?
The attorney.
Your homeroom teacher's court will be held soon.
What will happen to her?
The court will give her the punishment she deserves.
She won't go to prison, right?
I don't know. Who knows?
Grandma, can we forgive her just this once?
What are you talking about?
Look at your hand. She committed a crime.
Still, if she gets a penalty...
Grandma, my friends might think badly of me, too.
I wouldn't like that.
You've done nothing wrong. Why would they think badly of you?
Please forgive her.
The school knows it, and the Office of Education will punish her, too.
So please let it slide.
It's already out of my hands.
The case has already been submitted to the court. I can't do anything.
- Mother, I'm home. - You're back.
What are you doing?
My skirt hem is ripped.
Why don't you take it to the dry cleaner's?
It's just a skirt hem. I can do it myself.
Goodness. Let me do it for you.
Did you throw away the sewing machine?
I'm not sure if it still works.
It's working.
It reminds me of old memories.
Pardon?
You remember the skirt you made for me for the first time, right?
Do you still have it?
I threw it away because it got too small.
I gained a lot of weight since then.
I should lose weight, but it's hard.
I heard it's not good for the joints.
It's hard, too. Lose just 3kg.
Okay. It's done.
Let me see.
- How did I do? - You sewed it neatly.
You're good with hands.
I majored in fashion design. You know?
I know.
You would've been a fashion designer if you hadn't gotten married.
Shall I make an outfit for you since I have this out here?
I can make baby clothes for Eun Soo's future baby.
You're already busy working. I have enough clothes.
I don't need a new one.
Oh, I completely forgot.
I meant to ask you. I'm forgetful, too.
I saw medication in the bottom drawer. What is it for?
What? Oh, that?
Don't even think of lying.
You have a problem, right?
You already know it. I said I have gastritis.
Why do you need to take that many medications for gastritis?
I asked for it.
That will only hurt your stomach.
All right.
No wonder.
You haven't being eating well lately.
I told you to take care of your health.
I bought you herbal medicine, but you never touched it.
I will eat it. I promise.
The kids are late.
You're changing the subject.
- You're back. - I'm home.
- Come on in. - You're back, my son.
Where's Eun Soo?
She hasn't come home yet.
She must be with Jae Min.
Why are you looking for her?
I just have something to ask her.
Have you had dinner?
I'll fix something to eat later.
I'll be in my room.
(Court)
As a teacher who guides and disciplines students,
she should set an example.
However, she humiliated...
the victim publicly and used violence.
Considering the fact that she denied despite the evidence and witnesses,
and that she is still not repenting,
her crime is considered serious.
The court reflects the social request for harsh punishment...
for violence in schools...
and sentences the defendant six months in prison...
with a stay of execution for one year.
This is ridiculous.
I can't accept this. I'll appeal.
The court's decision relies largely on evidence.
You don't have evidence or witness unlike the victim.
Even if you appeal, the result won't be very different.
But... I really didn't do it.
Insisting that you're innocent won't change the court's decision.
If you want to prove it, find evidence or a witness.
Without that, this is a losing game.
What? A stay of an execution?
How long?
Bit Na's house?
I see.
I'm on my way to see my friends.
I'm going to be late tonight.
I have another call. I'll call you back.
Yes, Mom.
Jae Min, will you be home late?
I'm on my way home.
- You said you had plans. - It's been postponed.
Yes, Mom.
She was so mean to my mom at the department store.
Just because she's a VIP customer,
my mom apologized to her though she did nothing wrong.
When Bit Na found out she's my mom, she mistreated Mom on purpose.
She's getting back at me for what happened at the department store.
It's not my fault that my family is rich.
I was just being myself. Is that bad?
What's the occasion? It's not anyone's birthday today.
Come sit down.
You haven't been eating well lately, so I made a special meal.
Most of them are vegetables as meat takes long to digest.
I heard cabbage is good for stomach. Here you go.
Everything is my favorite dish.
That's right. Eat up.
We should eat with the children.
I left some for them.
I made these for you. Don't worry and eat up.
How do you like it?
It's so delicious.
Why are you crying?
I'm crying because it's delicious.
Eat slowly and chew thoroughly.
Eat up.
Enjoy it.
I will.
The driver is on his way.
Take the car. It's more comfortable.
I'm late. My friends are waiting for me.
Let them wait.
Grandma, see you later.
Okay. Have fun.
Can I talk to you briefly?
I'm coming from the court.
What does that have to do with me?
I've been sentenced to a stay of an execution.
Do you know what that means?
It means I'll be an ex-convict.
I'll have to live with a criminal record for the rest of my life.
Can you please tell the truth now?
I told people I didn't do it, but no one believed me.
Even if no one knows, you know the truth.
I never hit you.
Why did you do that in the first place?
You should have gotten on my right side.
If you hadn't bothered me, I wouldn't have done it.
Was I supposed to try to get on your right side?
Are you doing this...
because I got on your wrong side?
That's a terrible idea.
I'm your teacher.
We don't have to compete with each other.
Do you think we're living in the same world?
School is not the entire world.
Do you not get it?
You saw it at the department store.
I'm just exercising my rights.
It's the same in the school.
I never forced the other students to look up to me.
They just obeyed me voluntarily. Why do you blame me?
All right.
I get what you mean.
Your rights have been proved.
I've experienced enough of it.
Can you put things back in place now?
Then apologize to me sincerely.
If you apologize for what you've done in front of my friends,
I'll ask my grandmother to pretend...
nothing happened.
(Still Loving You)
Ms. Oh, please leave the school.
- You're dismissed. - I didn't do anything wrong.
This is unfair.
I cannot accept this punishment.
I'm worried about you.
Don't deceive yourself.
You stop deceiving yourself.
Does she need surgery?
I think she wanted to have surgery when all arrangements are made.
That lady is unbelievable!
Can she really do this at school?
Grandma, what should we do?
