Mr. Cha.
What are you doing here?
Mr. Park...
said he had to take his kid to the hospital.
- Mr. Park, I heard you struck gold. - I sure did.
Let's drink to his success.
- Here you go. - Let's drink.
- Goodness. - Cheers.
- Keep drinking without me. - Okay.
I'll be back soon.
- Why aren't you here yet?
- I don't think I can see you tonight.
The police are on my tail.
I'll call you back later.
All right. I see.
- I had a good time. - Thank you for the food.
- Thank you, Chairman Jin. - Go home safely.
- Goodbye. - See you.
Goodbye.
What should we do?
Let's call it a night.
Wait. Are you saying that we should just leave like this?
I said, it's over.
We should wait a little longer.
Mole hasn't showed up yet.
From now on, don't come out even if Mr. Park asks you to.
What's wrong with you?
Is it because you worry about me?
Why else would you act like this?
Do you still have feelings for me by any chance?
You said you no longer care about me.
I just don't want to ruin my work because of you again.
I can't afford to lose Mole by mistake again.
Hi, Senior Inspector Hwang. It's me.
I was supposed to meet Mole a moment ago,
but he said the police was on his tail.
What's going on?
I'm pretty sure that it was Cha Tae Jin.
I think you better not keep in touch with Mole for a while.
Gosh.
What are you doing up so late?
Something happened, and it made me angry.
I heard you were called before my father-in-law.
But why didn't you tell me about it?
Why would I? It's not something you'd be glad to hear.
- How did you even know that? - Do Hyun came to my office today.
Mr. Jin did?
How do you feel about him?
I'm grateful to him. He saved Woo Ri.
After all, he's not a stranger to me now.
Is that all?
Gosh, what else would there be?
Judging by what I heard today,
I think he's considering marrying you.
- Stop talking nonsense. - I think that's nonsense too.
Anyway, I think you should make it clear at this point.
I got it.
What about Mr. Cha?
What about him?
I mean, you don't seem to have gotten over him yet.
You can be foolish sometimes.
No. It's over with him now.
Good.
I don't want you to cling on to him when he says he doesn't love you.
- And that's not like you. - Exactly.
Is it because you worry about me?
Why else would you act like this?
Do you still have feelings for me by any chance?
You said you no longer care about me.
I just don't want to ruin my work because of you again.
I can't afford to lose Mole by mistake again.
I'm sorry.
Soo Ja got more orders, so I don't have enough rice.
Would it be okay with you if I bring it to the substation later?
That's not a problem, but it must make you tired.
Gosh. Don't pretend like you care about me.
You made my blood boil.
I'm sorry, Mother.
I overslept.
Please don't worry, my dear daughter-in-law.
Mother...
Mom, you're overacting.
Bo Ra, Goong Hwa keeps nagging me for being mean to you.
Am I really mean to you?
Tell her the truth, Bo Ra.
Yes.
What? Gosh, you brats.
Mom.
Bo Ra is going to do volunteer work today.
Volunteer work?
She's been helping the work at an orphanage for a long time.
She'll probably be a little late.
Goodness. You're too weak to work so hard.
- Come home right after work... - Mom.
All right. Fine. Why would you raise your voice?
I made some dried pollack soup for you.
Try to eat some soup. It'll help you with your hangover.
She's right. Eat well, and ease your stomach.
Stop it. I didn't drink that much.
And you made a scene after drinking that little.
You drank when you can't drink much...
and even caused a commotion. Your stomach must be so upset.
Grandma, please.
Mom, did you drink?
Why? Because of me?
What?
- No, it's not like that. - Don't lie.
She drank because of you.
Goodness. I guess he still worries about his own mom.
So why did you make her worry in the first place?
Your mom worries a lot because she wants you to live a good life.
Mother, Choon Rae will not be able to make you lunch today.
- Why? - We'll have lunch with Ju Young.
I'm glad you decided to do that.
I've been feeling so bad...
since he left like that last time.
Honey, what has gotten into you?
What do you mean?
I'm surprised that you thought of having lunch with Ju Young.
Dress up nicely when you meet him.
Ju Young will be sad if he sees you shabby.
I look pretty enough with only lipstick.
- Are you that happy? - Of course I am.
I was hoping that I could see him.
You could've told me. Why can't you tell me things like that?
I know. I can't seem to bring myself to say such things to you.
Is that why there were many things you couldn't tell me?
I'll tell you everything from now on. Don't worry.
Hello?
Hi, Ju Young. It's me.
Hello.
Sure. Yes. I know that place.
Yes. I'll see you there.
Bye.
What was that about?
My stepdad said he will buy me lunch.
It looks like things are going well between you and your stepdad.
I told you that all men in that family are nice.
Anyway, I'm sorry. You must eat lunch alone today.
You said Bo Ra has gone for volunteer work.
You don't need to worry about me.
Hey. Didn't Ms. Koo called you?
Ms. Koo prefers the old format than the new one.
She likes what you and Bo Ra did and wants to keep that format.
Really?
She might be saying that because she doesn't want to hire anyone else.
How about we post it on social media as a test?
Sure, go ahead.
Let's see how people respond to it before we decide.
You know that you have to help me get ready for the contest, right?
We'll start working hard this weekend.
We're already working hard.
- Hello. - What brings you here?
Oh, Goong Hwa forgot lunch at home, so I brought it.
My gosh, this is too heavy for your tiny wrists.
Why didn't you call me and ask... I mean, you should've called me.
Pardon? Gosh, it's okay.
I can't cause you inconvenience like that.
It's not an inconvenience at all. You make such delicious food for us.
If you give me your number, I'll make sure to...
- Well... - We're back.
- We're back.
- Mom. - Hello.
It's nice to see you all.
Aren't you all hungry?
Hello.
Yes, hello. It's been a while.
Let's go upstairs and eat before the food gets cold.
- I'll take it. - Gosh, don't worry.
- This way, please. - Okay.
We'll be there soon.
- Please be careful. - Okay.
Why is the chief overreacting like that?
This is why I say that you're clueless.
Can't you tell? He's giving her the green light.
Hi, Dad.
Hey, I'm at a restaurant near the substation.
I'm going to have lunch with Ju Young here.
Can you step out for a moment?
Okay, I'll see you there.
By the way, is your business going well?
It's pretty profitable, considering that it's my first business.
It must be. You're such an amazing cook.
The feedback has been pretty good.
Some people even post on our website.
Someone, who's username is Man of Pure Love,
has been posting every day about how good the food is.
My mom really enjoys reading all the comments these days.
Gosh, Chief Lee. Are you okay? Here.
Oh, I'm fine.
Please don't worry.
Gosh.
Mr. Cha, have a seat.
I have to step out.
Enjoy your lunch.
See you again.
Yes, see you.
Hello, Mother.
Hi, it's been a while.
What brings you here without even a call?
I had to speak with you.
You two should talk comfortably then.
You don't have to leave.
I have to do a delivery. Please speak with each other.
I'll get going. I should go.
You don't look so well.
What do you mean?
Are you coming down with something?
Maybe it's because I didn't get a good sleep.
Mom, you don't look so well either.
How's Tae Jin doing?
Are things going well with Officer Moo?
I think they broke up.
He's trying not to show it, but I think he's devastated.
Tell him that I said sorry.
I should've sorted everything out before showing up in his life again.
I made a mistake,
but I'll be sure to make it up to him.
Mom, has something happened?
Did something really happen??
I'll be abroad for a little while.
Why so suddenly?
Did those people do something to you?
No, it's nothing like that.
Now that it's over, we both find it hard to face each other.
So I want to leave the country for a while to clear my head.
You're really okay, right?
Gosh, I told you that I'm fine.
You must call me if anything happens, okay?
Nothing will happen to me.
You keep worrying even though I told you that there's no need.
Don't worry.
Gosh, the food here is very good.
Honey, you seem to be in a great mood today.
Do I?
It was very delicious.
- Isn't this restaurant good? - Yes, totally.
It's really nice.
I'll treat you next time. Let's come here again later.
With Mom and Dad.
I can pay. I earn money too, you know.
Then Tae Jin can get this one, and Ju Young can pay next time.
By the way, what's your hobby?
Do you like any sports?
Oh, I'm pretty good at tennis. What about you?
Tae Jin? From kendo to judo, there's nothing he can't do.
Gosh. Maybe I should learn judo from him.
- Then you can teach me tennis. - Sounds like a deal.
Try this. It's as sweet as honey.
Try it.
Oh, it is as sweet as honey.
Thanks, Mom.
From now on, I'll bring it myself no matter what.
Don't worry about it. It wasn't that heavy.
Mom.
Right.
He can ignore me like that because you guys broke up,
but that hurt my feelings.
I mean, didn't he practically beg me to allow him to marry you?
How can he completely ignore me like that?
He said he had to go somewhere.
Do you actually believe that?
That was an excuse to get out of this awkward situation.
Right. Even married couples become strangers after getting divorced.
He could be like that if he's completely over you.
Mom, please.
All right.
Are you back?
Oh, hello.
Yes, hello.
Has everything been well with you?
This is my boss.
I think we've met once before.
I'm Moo Su Hyuk.
I told you about him. He's Officer Moo's brother.
Please take good care of Ju Young.
Gosh. Actually, I should thank you.
Ju Young has been such a big help to me.
Please have a seat, and make yourself at home.
I need to step out to take care of something.
- See you again soon. - See you.
He has a very kind face.
Yes, everyone in his family is so nice.
Yes, they really are.
Even though I stayed at their place for such a long time,
Ms. Lee has never made me uncomfortable.
Goong Hwa is a very nice person too.
She and Tae Jin were so lovely together.
Don't say things like that.
I need to use the bathroom for a moment.
All right.
Here, take this.
No, I can't take that.
It's not much.
My financial state isn't that great these days.
Here. I wanted to give it to you first.
What is it?
I wanted to give you some spending money.
Gosh, forget it.
I earn money too.
Please take good care of my mom, Mr. Cha.
I'll ask you the same thing.
And feel free to call me whenever you're stressed out.
Okay.
Dad, have you had lunch yet?
I know a great jjajangmyeon restaurant. Let's go there.
You always eat jjajangmyeon when you're feeling down.
- Are you teasing me now or what? - Gosh, Dad.
Do you really think that I'd be able to swallow jjajangmyeon now?
What if you collapse again? I'm just worried about you.
You shouldn't skip meals even if you disapprove of her.
It sounds like you're trying to make me just let it go.
Don't even dream of it.
All right, let's bring it on. We shall see who wins.
You're such a brat.
You should answer that.
Get out.
- Dad. - I said, get out!
Okay.
The number you are calling is not available...
Darn it.
So you're avoiding my calls?
Gosh, that old man. Why can't he just let it slide?
Take it easy. Don't push too hard.
If Chairman Jin gets sick again,
you will regret it for the rest of your life.
- Answer your phone. - Who is calling me this time?
Yes.
Mr. Tall.
- Woo Ri. - Gosh.
- We're back. - We're back.
- Hey, hi. - Welcome back.
- Did you have another tough day? - Hello.
- You must have had a long day. - Not at all.
- I heard it was terrible today. - Don't get me started.
We practically filmed an action movie.
I heard that it began with something petty.
Exactly.
He picked up a fight because the other pushed him. Gosh.
His family members joined the fight, and it became total chaos.
It's all because people these days are stressed out too much.
Still, I'm relieved that it's been sorted out.
These days, so many people act recklessly even while we crack down.
They look down on the police.
Whatever they say, we work so hard to keep their neighborhoods safe.
Anyway, everyone did a good job.
Now, get ready to go home.
Spare me a minute.
I'm the homeroom teacher of Giraffe Class.
I have something to discuss about Woo Ri.
Please call me when you get this.
What is this about?
- Is it good? - Yes, it's so delicious.
Here?
Oh, no.
Hi, Officer Moo.
Is it Mom?
Woo Ri is with me.
It looks like she had a fight with her friend, but it's been resolved.
There's nothing you should worry about.
I also talked to Woo Ri's teacher a little while ago.
Woo Ri, you like that ice cream, right?
Yes, Mom, it's so good.
Did you hear that? Don't worry about her and do your business.
I'll take Woo Ri home after having spending some more time with her.
I'll hang up then. Bye.
Woo Ri, do you like this one or this one?
- I like both. - Do you?
I knew it.
Unless he's out of his mind,
he wouldn't try to meet him again so soon.
Gosh. What should we do now?
There's nothing else we can do but to wait until he reappears.
It's like finding a needle in a haystack.
How do we catch someone who is on the run like that?
By the way, why did you call Officer Moo last night?
Well... My kid was sick all of a sudden.
I couldn't think of anything else.
There might have been an urgent situation.
I couldn't just let you do it all by yourself.
Never call her again. I can handle it by myself.
Mr. Cha, you're acting odd.
Officer Moo is a police officer.
We're trying to catch a bad guy.
You said gender doesn't matter when it comes to police work.
Do you like Officer Moo by any chance?
Your mother really is a great cook.
I need to learn to cook before I get married.
I guess the talk went well.
Not really. Mr. Cha isn't easy to persuade.
However, he didn't exactly reject me.
I think that's good enough considering his personality.
I see.
I'll just have to try. I have no other choice.
Anyway, see you tomorrow.
Mr. Yoon, what's wrong with you?
You cut down the price too much.
Tell him...
that I'll sell it to him...
if he can agree with the conditions this weekend, or he can forget it.
You're home.
Yes. I think I need to take my medication.
Okay.
Why does the water taste weird?
It's castor aralia tea.
I heard it's good to control high blood pressure.
Don't look at me like that. It's like a habit for me.
Whatever happened, we've lived together for about 20 years.
Who was calling you? Why did you act like that?
It's none of your business.
Was his name Cha Tae Jin?
Did you tell your son what I said?
I told you to warn him...
not to waste his time on useless things.
He doesn't even want to see me.
But still, you are his mother.
You should do whatever you can to stop him.
You can't change your son's mind either.
Do you think you can stop him?
Of course.
Do Hyun will follow my decision in the end.
So you change your son's mind...
before your precious son gets completely destroyed.
Why are you out here?
I came out to greet you.
- Aren't you tired? - Yes, I am.
My legs hurt so much today.
Come on. Hop on my back.
Stop it. What if our neighbors see us?
I don't care. Come on.
Just hop on my back.
Here we go!
- I'm heavy, right? - Yes, very much so.
What was that?
You were supposed to say that I'm light.
How is the air up there? It's nice, isn't it?
I'm so happy.
Don't they know that our neighbors might see them?
It's romantic and nice.
Su Hyuk is quite romantic.
I'm not sure if he is my son I knew before.
Mom, what about Woo Ri?
Do Hyun said he'll bring her home after dinner. I think he'll be late.
Gosh, Mom. Do you know what time it is now?
Where are you now?
Let me see.
Mom.
Why are you so late? I'm starving.
I asked him to eat with you too.
Aren't you glad I did that?
Woo Ri.
Let's eat first. Let's eat.
Let's have dinner together for a change.
You're not going to split the bill with me again, right?
We're family now, aren't we?
It's getting late.
- Woo Ri, let's go home. - Okay.
I almost forgot. I have a gift for you, Woo Ri.
What's this?
It's so pretty.
Thank you.
Can I open it now?
Sure.
You can even eat it. Here.
Gosh, it looks pretty on you.
I love it. It's so pretty.
Mom, look at this. Isn't it pretty?
Yes, it's pretty.
Your mom must be envious.
- Shall I give her one too? - Yes.
All right.
Life would be so sweet if every day was like today, don't you think?
I'm sorry. I can't accept this.
You know the anti-graft law, right?
I can't lose my job.
Woo Ri and I have to stay strong to get through everything together.
Woo Ri, get up. We have to go home.
Don't forget to thank Mr. Jin.
Thank you.
My pleasure.
Woo Ri, don't forget your candy.
He gave it to you as a gift.
- Oh, right. - Here.
Woo Ri, I hope you enjoy it.
- Bye, Mr. Tall. - Bye.
(Lovers in Bloom)
You look so weary.
- Don't worry, Mother. - Mother?
How can he call her like that when he calls Mom "that woman"?
You'll leave this house?
Who says you can do that?
You will never be able to stop me.
You have information on a murder case?
How did that tipper call Officer Moo's phone?
I was told to come alone.
- Goong Hwa likes someone else. - Who?
That woman will never look back on you.
No, I know that she will love me one day...
because I'll make it happen at all costs.
