(Lovers in Bloom)
That's right.
I've done many wrong things.
I lie, make mistakes,
get jealous, and talk ill of others.
Don't we all live like that though?
Have you never done anything bad?
Even if you've done something bad,
you can pull yourself together and start afresh.
Are you saying people like that shouldn't even get such a chance?
Will once a sinner always be a sinner?
Are they not even allowed a chance to start afresh?
That is so unfair.
Don't talk...
if you don't know what others are going through.
Move out of my way.
(Episode 10)
Hey, Woo Ri.
- When will you be home, Mom? - I'm on my way now.
Have you had dinner yet?
Did you brush your teeth?
Yes, okay.
I'll be home shortly.
Wait just a little more.
What?
How long?
Woo Ri, count up to 100 for just 10 times.
You can do that, right?
All right.
Ready, go!
Where are you at?
100, 300, 500.
Really? That's it?
A million and 10 million.
Oh, boy. My baby.
Goodness, people would wonder if you two were separated for years.
What would you have done if you didn't have her?
I don't even want to think about it.
Having her was the best thing I've done in my life.
I think so too.
Woo Ri,
- do you want a horseback ride? - Yes!
Hey, you'll hurt your back.
Why do you keep doing that for her when she's not a baby anymore?
My friends' dads do it for them all the time.
Woo Ri, I'm feeling strong today because I got some exercise.
I can beat anything.
My gosh.
Go slowly.
Woo Ri.
- Get on. Come on. - Go to your uncle.
Where shall I take you, Princess?
- Is this fun? - Yes.
- Are you having fun? - Yes.
- Go, go. - Let's go.
- Go, go. - Say hello to Mom.
- Hello. - Hello.
So much for fairness and justice.
Should people keep paying a police officer like her with our taxes?
There are over 500 comments already.
They don't seem to get tired.
This is driving me crazy.
What if Mom finds out about this?
I hope she won't.
Why haven't you gone to bed yet?
I can't sleep.
Is something bothering you?
No. No reason.
Come to think of it,
I made you worry so many times, right?
Don't get me started.
Raising you felt like raising 10 boys.
It was much easier to raise Su Hyuk compared to you.
I know.
Do you remember when I was arrested in 12th grade?
Why are you bringing that up?
Whenever I think of what happened in my sleep,
I still wake up feeling like my blood is boiling.
You made friends with such a bad person.
You were falsely accused.
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought that up.
What does she do for living now?
That wench. She repaid you evil for your good deed.
You went there to help her.
How could she falsely accuse you like that?
It wasn't until then that I realized...
that some humans are born evil.
Nonetheless...
I'm proud of you, my daughter.
Even though you went through such a hardship,
you became a police officer.
You always said I shouldn't have.
Well... I didn't really mean that.
Becoming a police officer is almost impossible these days.
You've done something almost impossible. I'm grateful.
You can keep your job for the rest your life.
That's true. Right?
Absolutely. You're a public servant.
You don't have to worry about losing your job for at least 30 years.
You can support Woo Ri until she goes to college and gets married.
My baby. I'm so proud of you.
You should take care of your health.
Let's go on a trip together later.
As if.
You will go with Woo Ri alone.
I won't be like that.
All right. I'll go with you and Woo Ri.
Forget it.
I would rather spend that money on good food.
If you have that much money, just give it to me.
I promise you I'll spend it wisely.
You always talk about money.
I know. Where is all the money? Where can I find it?
Ms. Oh, please come out for breakfast.
There she comes.
Okay. This is my dad.
- Hello. - Hello.
I'm sorry for what happened yesterday.
Everyone makes a mistake sometimes.
Thank you for understanding.
Please take good care of my mom.
I'm happy to work here.
This is the eldest son and my younger brother.
You have met him at the substation, right?
A substation?
It was when my son was arrested.
Oh, he's a police officer.
Hello.
Hello. Please take good care of my grandma.
Let's eat, everyone.
Hold on a second. What about me?
You? She already knows you.
You're introducing everyone in our family.
- You should introduce me properly. - Gosh.
You do it yourself.
I'm her husband, Kang Baek Ho.
Welcome to our house. Welcome.
I'm Oh Gyung Ah. Thank you for welcoming me.
Let's give her a hand.
Please enjoy your breakfast.
I'll eat after Ms. Noh finishes her breakfast.
Isn't she finished yet?
No. Please excuse me.
But...
She's usually friendly and outgoing. That was weird.
Is it because of Father?
What do you think, Father? Isn't she pretty?
Oh, gosh. That's all men think of.
You're pretty too. That's why I accepted your love.
She's not pretty.
Hey, I was quite popular.
Then why did you have to chase Baek Ho?
She followed me everywhere. She's so different now.
Mom, is that true?
Did you chase Dad?
You said you chased her.
Don't ask any further, my son.
What would your mom say?
Oh, my. You pretended you never chased him.
I said, that's not true.
Hae Chan, it's not true.
Mom, I'm disappointed in you.
Does Grandma like her?
I don't know.
As Ms. Oh bathed her, it was game over.
- Did she? - Yes.
Grandma completely fell for her.
Why didn't you take your time and eat your breakfast?
That's okay. I can eat later.
That's not right.
Hee Jin! Hee Jin!
Yes, Grandma.
I brought her meal here.
Oh, my. You didn't have to do this.
I'll bring your meals here so you can eat with Grandma.
That sounds great. I won't be bored while eating.
My goodness. It looks so delicious.
Please enjoy.
What kind of girl has such a strong punch?
My head still hurts.
Gosh. It hurts.
Peppermint tea for Dad.
Oh, no. Isn't this the one that smells like a toothpaste?
Stop complaining and drink it.
It helps to relieve stress.
For me and Mom, rosemary tea to keep our skin firm.
I want to drink some barley tea instead of this.
Dad, did something happen?
You seem to be in a bad mood.
I'm not.
Why is it so hard to see you lately?
See? You sound so frustrated.
That's because he missed his lovely daughter.
Stay with him all day long today so he can feel better.
Honey, please. I'm not a child. I'm a busy man.
All right. I'm busy too.
Never mind. I'll do it.
I'm okay.
No, you're not. I can see that you're in pain.
What's the problem?
Why doesn't she get better after all those surgeries?
Shouldn't we take her to another hospital?
No, that's not necessary. Dad, please.
It hurts because I've been working too hard.
I told you to quit cooking. Why would you ask for trouble?
You use knives and carry heavy pots. Isn't that the reason?
Dad, don't be ridiculous.
I don't carry heavy pots.
Honey, take Bo Ra to a doctor first thing today, okay?
All right.
I'm really okay.
Just listen to me.
If you don't, I won't let you pursue that career.
Okay.
Mom, why did you have to bring that up?
To take you to a doctor.
Don't you know that health always comes first?
What will you do if you have to quit cooking because of that?
Actually, I went to see a doctor yesterday.
You did? What did the doctor say?
Well... I've been told to take it easy.
I got prescription and picked up my medication too.
There's a bit of inflammation, but it'll go away.
That's a relief.
Still, you have to be careful at all times, okay?
Okay.
So put in a good word for me with Dad.
Please?
All right.
Oh, don't worry about doing the dishes.
The housekeeper will take care of it.
- Gosh, you. - All right.
- Are you going out? - Yes.
Stop by my office later today.
I'm busy.
Just do as I say.
Well, about the shopping arcade in Dongdaemun District...
You said it has to be renovated, right?
Nothing has been found?
Unfortunately, we don't have any security cameras in that area.
I see. Thank you for your help.
- Check that area too. - Yes, sir.
Let's see if there's anything over there.
By any chance, did you happen to see the boy...
who stole a cell phone getting arrested over there the other day?
I don't think so.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
No problem.
- Hello. - Sorry to bother you.
Do you know about the cell phone theft that took place over there?
Oh, aren't you the police officer from that day?
Oh, do you recognize me?
I'm the one who followed you at the bus stop that day.
Is that so?
I was so surprised at how fast you can run.
If that's the case, did you happen to witness her catching the boy?
No, I didn't.
Oh, it's not ramyeon.
I thought this noodle dish would be better than ramyeon.
You can still slurp the noodles like what you said.
You're pretty sharp-witted, aren't you?
Gosh! Oh, my.
It's much better than what Ms. Heo makes.
The young radish kimchi looked very tasty.
The hot chilli paste too.
You must be a great cook, ma'am.
Gosh, she bought all those things.
And the hot chilli paste was made by the previous housekeeper.
Ms. Lee, thank you for the food.
I'm so glad I can finally eat properly made food.
Are you heading out, ma'am?
Yes, I have to take care of something.
I see. I'll see you later.
I don't like it when people find out about what goes on in my family.
I'm also not a fan of talking about other people's business.
Please don't worry.
Goodness.
So what if she has a lot of money?
Her son is a total piece of work. Good grief.
My goodness.
My gosh.
Bo Ra.
I can't reach it.
Be careful. Gosh.
Please be careful.
Come down.
You couldn't do this?
Here.
What are you doing?
- Sorry? - I need a new light bulb.
Oh, right.
Try turning it on.
Thanks.
I've repaid you for the food, right?
- Totally. - Gosh, don't overreact.
This is unexpected.
I definitely thought you'd say you can't give up your work.
You're also being so cool with the rumors about Do Hyun.
Most women...
would be pretty bothered by such matters.
Even if it's true, it's all in the past anyway.
I also don't believe in rumors.
I couldn't work in the TV industry if I cared about such matters.
You're right.
Young ladies these days are incredibly clever.
Such insignificant matters can be disregarded. Aren't I right?
I'm back, sir.
All right.
This is why I say money is great.
You obviously wouldn't be where you are now without it.
Please, Dad. Why do you say that?
Am I wrong?
Frankly, I can't deny it.
Don't trust anyone under any circumstances.
I can only trust money.
- You too? - Of course.
The second you trust someone,
the money in your hand will start seeping out. Just remember that.
Okay, Dad.
And please try to be more respectful to your mom.
That woman lives with me, you know.
The way you treat her now embarrasses me so much.
Hey, I really want to be able to relax and rest at home.
As soon as I leave home, I have to worry about getting stabbed...
in the front and back. I'm on edge all day long.
All right.
Hey.
Do Hyun, you're here too.
I was just about to leave.
Go ahead. I'll leave you two alone.
What brings you here?
I met the girl you've been going on about.
- Is that what you're asking? - Did you?
How do you like her?
I'm glad I met her first.
Why do you say that? You didn't like her?
I knew girls these days are like that, but she's really something.
Can you elaborate so that I can understand?
She said she doesn't care about the rumors about Do Hyun.
She also said she can quit her job when she gets married.
All that before she even met him.
This is why I can't trust what people say.
People raved about her character.
Goodness.
Oh, has Lawyer Seo said anything to you?
He'd never talk about such matters.
He's really growing on me.
He's very discreet too.
There.
Dad has provided me with funds.
He did?
By the way, do you want to keep talking about yesterday?
I'm sorry.
But try putting yourself in my shoes.
Your dad kept asking me, and I was going crazy.
You know how he is.
And I bet you want him to like you because of Bo Ra.
That is true,
but you're my only friend and family.
You are backstabbing your family.
Anyway, I'm sorry about that.
Still, you were too harsh.
Look. I'm not your punching bag.
Stop it right there when I'm still comforting you.
If it were not for the lady...
Hang on.
Is she your new girlfriend?
She didn't seem like your type.
Of course, she's not.
Who is she?
Exactly.
I'm starting to wonder that.
- We're back. - We're back.
We're trying to confirm that.
If you keep calling us like this, we can't do our job.
No. We have no information on that.
- I said, no. Bye. - I mean...
you're a reporter. How could you release an article like that?
You may face a charge of defamation.
Reporter Kim, you can't do this.
Don't do things like that again.
Don't do anything that you would regret later.
What is going on?
It's obvious.
People found out that our famous Office Moo is working here.
We've been getting calls complaining about your case.
Do you think Officer Moo will get in big trouble?
She's already in big trouble.
We can't just ignore calls as some of them can be reports.
We might not be able to do our job.
I'll answer the phone.
No. Don't answer the phone.
That could make this worse.
Yes, sir.
There are a lot of complaints on the police department website.
They're so harsh.
"We want the abusive police officer to be punished."
"Is she a gangster or a police officer? She should be punished."
What do we do?
As you all know, Officer Moo didn't do anything wrong.
Let's get through this even though it's hard.
Gosh. It's never-ending.
Hello? This is Corporal Jang Eun Ju at Chamsu-Ri Substation.
The abusive police officer?
No, it's not. Bye.
My head hurts. Gosh.
Officer Moo, cheer up.
Here.
I'm sorry.
You don't have to apologize to me.
I can't even apologize to everyone.
Didn't you hear what Mr. Lee said?
We all know that you haven't done anything wrong.
That's why we're helping you in such a bad situation.
Thank you.
I will do everything in my power to prove my innocence...
and resolve everything as soon as possible.
How?
I'm looking for a security footage and witnesses.
There must be a way.
It's no use looking for them.
Pardon?
The higher-ups...
have already concluded that you're an abusive police officer.
Senior Inspector Hwang Pil Seong, who is in charge of your case,
is really notorious among policemen.
Why else would he be called the Grim Reaper?
There are so many police officers who quit their jobs because of him.
They quit their jobs?
Yes, they did.
Once he catches someone, he makes sure that person is punished.
I heard that it was him...
that arrested you.
How did you know that?
What? Well, I heard...
People in this field spread rumors very quickly.
However, it's not that there is no way to resolve this.
There's a way?
What should I do?
It's simple.
You should appeal to the people who are in higher positions...
and prove that you have done nothing wrong.
- You're back. - Hello.
My mom seems to have gotten much better.
Thank you.
Please don't say that. I'm just doing my job.
Please continue taking good care of her.
- Of course. I will... - Please go ahead.
Excuse me.
This is embarrassing.
Is he...?
That can't be.
I'm sure he just looks like him.
I'm sure of it.
Oh Choon Rae, you're crazy. You're losing your mind.
No. No, no. That can't be.
Mr. Cha.
What's this?
It's the clothes that you lent me last time.
In fact, I burned it while ironing it.
I'm sorry.
Why did you bring it?
I tried to find the same shirt, but I failed, so I mended it.
I'm not sure if you'll like it.
All right. It's okay. Don't worry.
Get a good sleep tonight.
Okay.
Mr. Cha.
I will...
prove my innocence no matter what.
Look at what she's done with it.
Does she expect me to wear this? This is unbelievable.
But she chose an eagle because I'm a police officer.
You thought I was your mom, right?
You scared me.
I'm glad you're here. I have something to tell you.
This is Hyun Soo, right?
Yes.
Do you think this is why he doesn't come to school?
Was he absent again?
Yes, he was. His phone is still turned off as well.
Is something going on with him?
Is everything at school going well?
Yes.
I have something to ask you about. I need you to tell me the truth.
Don't tell your mom about this unless she finds out first.
Of course, I won't.
She already told me not to hang out with Hyun Soo.
After you left the substation,
did Hyun Soo have many bruises?
No, he didn't.
You have to be careful with your answer. It's very important.
I'm sure he didn't.
He only had a few scratches on his wrists because of the handcuffs.
He bragged so much that he had been handcuffed.
- How silly of him. - He did?
What's his family like?
I don't know much about them.
He doesn't talk about them.
However, it seems like his dad is very scary.
His dad's face looks really scary too.
Whenever we talk about his dad, Hyun Soo gets the shivers.
Is that so?
Yoon Jae.
I will never give up.
So please give me the strength to get through this.
Yes, Mr. Lee.
Where are you now, Mr. Cha?
Our team is doing the night shift today.
I'm obviously aware of that.
Did you tell her to do that?
Pardon me?
Did you tell Goong Hwa to go stand in front of the station like that?
(I'm not an abusive police officer. I never used excessive force.)
