(Lovers in Bloom)
(I'm not an abusive police officer. I never used excessive force.)
I'm sorry, but please don't stop me.
If I don't do anything, it would look like I admit to the accusation.
You know that I'm not an abusive police officer.
I can't give up like this.
I won't let them daunt me or hide anymore.
I don't want my family to feel ashamed of me. Never.
So please don't stop me.
Who says I'm trying to stop you?
You're right. Don't give up.
I have no intention of convincing you to stop this.
Mr. Cha...
However, did you report to Mr. Lee?
Do you think you're the only one who will be in trouble?
Don't you think you're being a nuisance?
That's why I'm doing this.
- I'm trying not to be a nuisance. - What?
I can let it go if I think of myself alone.
However, I'm a public servant whom citizens pay taxes to fund.
They pay me to protect them.
If they think I've beaten up an innocent citizen,
how disappointed would they be?
I will never disappoint the citizens...
who pay me.
Am I wrong?
What are you saying? You're going to keep standing here?
I'm not an abusive police officer.
I never used excessive force.
I request a fair investigation following the proper procedure.
Is she brave or ignorant?
I guess she's both.
My goodness. How unbelievable.
It's so cute how she came up with an idea like that.
No, I mean, it's such a terrible idea.
Mr. Cha, do you have any idea?
About the photos on social media.
It could be that Officer Moo has nothing to do with his bruises.
What? What do you mean by that?
Are you saying the photos have been manipulated?
I'm investigating it.
I'll report back to you once I figure out the truth.
You must be very cautious.
If you make a mistake, we'll be in big trouble.
You're dealing with the Grim Reaper.
I know that. Please don't worry.
He can't be.
What's the matter?
Well...
You look so pale. Are you worried about something?
No. I'm not worried.
I have no worries.
You silly.
Shall we have some fruits?
Fruits?
Could you wait a little while?
Why? Are you trying to avoid working already?
No, I'm not. It's not like that.
Please bring me something to eat. Let's eat together.
Okay.
By the way, Ms. Noh, what is your son's name?
His name is Cha Sang Chul.
Advertising? What are you talking about?
We can just make it look good and sell it.
Times have changed. We can't do that anymore.
Are you going to spend a fortune on hiring a celebrity in advertising?
I'm not insane. Why would I do that?
You said you wanted to advertise our company.
Dad, just because someone has a plastic surgery to look better,
it doesn't mean she becomes popular with guys.
She needs to have something to draw attention.
You're not making any sense.
Never mind. You just have to trust me and support my plan financially.
What if you get backstabbed?
Don't worry about me. You should be careful.
Especially about the one you live with.
You brat. What does that mean?
Be honest with me. You don't trust Ms. Heo, do you?
What did you just say?
That's why you haven't registered your marriage yet.
It's good for me though.
You little brat. Your mom never complained about it.
Stop being mean. You don't even know anything about her.
There's no person like your mom in the whole world.
- Whatever. I'll get going. - Gosh, you little brat.
When will you grow up?
Gosh, that brat.
I've done the paperwork, so you don't have...
to worry about Mr. Nam.
Why would I? He should be grateful that it wasn't worse.
Are those new proposals?
Do they think this is a plagiarism contest?
No one has a good idea. This is frustrating.
Hello?
Yes, that's me. Who is this?
Oh, my. It's an honor...
to get a phone call from a celebrity like yourself.
By the way, how did you get my phone number?
I'm really busy working,
so I'll call you back after checking my schedule.
Ms. Heo already met her for me?
That's impressive.
How should I pay her back?
(I'm not an abusive police officer. I never used excessive force.)
This is why they say one rotten apple spoils the barrel.
A protest is not illegal.
Any citizen of Korea can protest.
A police officer is no exception.
You used violence toward a child.
Do you think police officers can do whatever they want?
I never used violence.
You beat up your friend 10 years ago. Am I right?
I believe that it's unfair for my past to influence this case.
You're still talking big.
You brought disgrace on the police,
but you don't even feel ashamed.
I have never brought disgrace on the police...
or done anything I should be ashamed of.
I will do everything in my power to clear my name.
Stop this, and wait for the decision of the disciplinary committee.
Hello, Teacher.
What about Woo Ri?
What is all this?
Meat, fish...
They should go grocery shopping after eating everything.
What a waste of money.
Ms. Lee?
Yes?
(Moo Goong Hwa)
Why isn't she answering the phone?
You have been forwarded to an...
Did you call for me?
I thought I asked you to take this to the dry cleaners.
Did you wash this?
I checked the tag and it's a cotton shirt.
Clothes made of cotton are the cleanest when washed with water.
They use oil when dry cleaning clothes,
so you can't get rid of food stains.
How do you know so well?
I used to run a small dry cleaning business.
If you don't have anything else to say...
Wait a second.
No, it's all right.
Take it.
I would've paid the dry cleaners anyway.
Go on.
All right.
Thank you.
Please ask me before doing anything from now on.
What will you do if you ruin expensive clothes?
I thought I said something similar before.
Yes, you did.
Could I have some fruit and tea?
Of course.
She's a useful person.
Chew thoroughly to prevent indigestion and drink lots of water.
I did chew thoroughly.
I also drink a lot of water.
You do?
You'll get better if you take medicine.
I don't want to take medicine.
Mom, what are you going to buy me if I take medicine?
Do you know I hate it when you say that or not?
You're taking medicine so you get better.
I told you not to ask for favors for taking medicine.
I'm sorry, Mom. I forgot.
Let's go.
Excuse me.
Aren't you Hyun Soo's mom?
Wait.
Since I got some extra money,
what should I buy Woo Ri with it?
Are you going to buy this?
I'd like to, but it's too much.
Would you like to split it with me?
I'd love that.
You're saving money by buying it when it's on sale.
That's why I come at this hour.
They always have surprise sales around this time of day.
It's nice to see a young lady be so frugal.
You're a smart one.
It's cheaper when you get 2 for 1,
but I end up throwing out half of it.
I still find myself buying items that are 2 for 1.
It's the same for me.
I always tell myself to buy fresh food whenever I need it,
but whenever I see the sign that something is 2 for 1,
- I can't help but buy it. - That's right.
Then should we buy this and split it in half?
Yes, let's split it.
Thank you.
How much do I owe you?
- Since it's 7.8 dollars... - 3.9 dollars.
Here are four dollars.
You can keep the change...
since I'm feeling good.
Really? Thank you.
Don't mention it. I should be thanking you.
Wait a second.
This was 2 for 1 as well.
Take one of these.
- No, it's okay. - It's too much for me.
All right, I'll enjoy it.
Okay. Goodbye.
She's an amiable person whoever she is.
I wish I could have a daughter-in-law like her.
There are so many.
What's this?
(Moo Su Hyuk)
- Hi. - Hi.
Here.
It was in my mailbox.
I see.
Problems always hit you at once.
It looks like you won't have any water or electricity soon.
You're supposed to pretend you didn't see anything.
I'm not good at pretending.
I have candles, so I'm okay with electricity,
and I wonder if I'll be able to ask someone for water.
I guess you could. Anytime.
This is why you need to have nice neighbors.
Hi, neighbor.
We're just neighbors and you aren't trying to live off me, right?
Have you seen such a handsome man try to do that?
I don't know.
It hasn't ever happened to me before.
Come on, we're just good neighbors.
- All right, I'll give you water. - Thanks.
- Are you going up? - Yes.
Can you take this with you?
I'm in a hurry to get somewhere. See you later.
Gosh.
He is trying to live off me.
Don't get sick, Woo Ri.
I can't do anything when you're sick.
You need supplies for school.
I would've bought it on our way back if I knew earlier.
Aren't you Hyun Soo's mom?
Wait.
(I'm reporting an abusive police officer.)
Hyun Soo had bruises and so did his mom.
Something seems wrong.
Gosh.
Why are you home so early?
Why don't you answer your phone?
Did you call?
You did. What did you need?
Woo Ri had an upset stomach, but you didn't answer.
So I had to go to the hospital with her during work.
What? What did the doctor say?
Is Woo Ri okay?
Yes, she took medicine and fell asleep.
Why did she have to get sick and scare us?
Where were you all day?
What? I was...
I was at Su Ji's. Where else would I be?
She said you weren't there.
Are you interrogating me?
I went out to run errands and got some groceries.
Do I have to report my every move to you?
I didn't say that. It's just because I couldn't get a hold of you.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for running errands without your permission...
and for not answering your calls.
Mom, you know I didn't mean it like that.
Forget it.
It's fine as long as Woo Ri's okay.
You should get back to work.
- It's cute. - What's this?
It's a high-tech tool that will help you keep your hands clean,
a garlic peeling machine.
You can peel onions and shred green onions with this.
The whole package is only 39 dollars 90 cents.
It's a good deal.
I saw it on TV. It peels garlic really well.
Look at this. I have eczema on my hands.
I got used to washing the dishes,
but I can't seem to get used to peeling garlic and onion.
So you bought something we don't need when we don't have money?
Why do we not need this? Look at my hands.
Doesn't it break your heart?
It breaks my heart?
It makes my blood boil.
We don't have money for this.
We should save money for Hae Chan.
Buying a garlic peeling machine won't make us poor.
You make my blood boil when you act like this.
We should save money instead of spending it.
When will you come to your senses?
Don't you feel sorry for me?
Grandma's caretaker fees, the cost of living, and Hae Chan's education.
We're barely scraping a living.
Why did you do such a stupid thing?
Why can't you peel garlic?
You know what my grandma always says, right?
Can't you even do that?
Gosh. Seriously.
You know why I'm living like this...
walking on eggshells around my family.
Cha Hee Jin, look at me. It's me.
We weren't like this.
You chased me to win my heart. Why are you nagging me like this?
I was wrong about you.
Let's be nice to each other.
It breaks my heart to see your hands with a skin problem.
Whenever you lavish money, it makes my blood boil!
Gosh! That's enough! It's just a cheap item.
Don't yell at me!
We have to save money from buying even a toothpick.
Return it immediately!
Gosh. She crushed me just because of a garlic peeling machine.
Gosh. Seriously.
Darn it.
- Hi. - Hello.
- Please have a seat. - Okay.
- Have you been well? - Yes, I have.
What brings you here?
Well, in fact...
Is the offer you told me about still valid?
You refused it.
You made the right decision.
You should make money even when you're old.
Or else, your children would hate you.
Can I start working tomorrow?
Yes. At Seoul Building.
Thank you.
It's so itchy. My gosh.
This is what lets me know when summer comes.
Officer Moo, I got athlete's foot because of you.
Let me please live in peace.
I like your courage and high spirits,
but if you don't bend,
you will break.
I'm sorry.
Do you really mean that?
Mr. Lee.
Haven't you learned anything from the people you dealt with?
Things don't always go your way,
and no one understands you.
However, if you fight back every time, you can't survive.
In my opinion, it's best you settled this matter with the victim.
- Mr. Lee. - Officer Moo.
You want to keep this job for a long time, right?
It's not good for your career to make the higher-ups hate you.
Please don't say that. It's not fair.
You're right. It's not fair. I know.
I went through a lot of unfair things in this field too.
I can't give up like this.
What are you going to do? Are you going to go all the way?
No, but I should say that I didn't do it.
You already protested as a public servant.
If you do anything like that again, I will get mad at you.
Settle the matter, okay?
Mr, Lee, please.
Mr. Cha, I have something to tell you.
What is it?
I saw Hyun Soo's mom at a hospital today. I felt something wrong.
She had a bruise on her face.
Also, I took a look at Hyun Soo's photos again.
Those bruises...
I don't think he got them that day.
He just fell down. How did he get bruises on his neck and legs?
I know that.
You know that?
You're suspecting that he might be in a domestic violence.
That's right.
I asked an expert to have a look at the photos on social media.
Why didn't you tell me that?
You caused trouble even before I had a chance to tell you.
People might think you cause trouble to prove your innocence.
- But... - He's a skilled lawyer.
His family members haven't said anything. If this goes wrong,
you can be charged with false accusation and defamation.
You understand what I'm saying, right?
Yes, I do.
(An Abusive Police Officer Revealed)
My goodness. This is unbelievable.
Is this police officer the one that arrested you?
Did she really beat Hyun Soo up?
Did you see that?
Why aren't you answering me?
If she really beat us up, would Uncle have let her?
That's true.
Your uncle isn't involved in this matter, right?
Is there any post about your uncle?
No, there's none.
All of them are about her.
I was so worried.
What happened to Hyun Soo?
Mom, I'm late.
Shall I skip my class?
That's nonsense.
You always try to skip your classes. Hurry up and go!
I can't believe him.
How did that happen?
No wonder she looked so fussy.
I hope it doesn't affect Tae Jin.
This can't be happening.
Why did we meet again like this?
I should leave this house...
before he recognizes me.
You are... Choon Rae.
You're Oh Choon Rae, right?
What is taking so long?
We have to wait and see.
Here you go.
I heard you are still single.
- It's hot. - My goodness.
Oh, no. Goodness. My gosh.
- What happened? - Are you all right?
- Oh, no. - What is it?
I think I gave her hot water.
What? Oh, my goodness.
Grandma, are you all right?
I burnt the inside of my mouth.
Ms. Noh, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
What's wrong with me?
Why did you give her hot water?
Ms. Oh, did you give her boiling water?
I'm sorry. I think I was distracted.
Do you call that an excuse?
What happened?
Dad, Grandma burnt her mouth. What should we do?
What were you thinking?
Why are you sitting here? Go get some cold water!
Okay. I'll be right back.
Are you all right?
I can't believe this.
Ms. Noh, honey helps when you burnt your mouth.
Put it away!
You have to eat it even though it hurts, so you can get better soon.
How can she eat that now?
Are you teasing her?
I should've hired a certified caretaker.
Mom, I will give a little at a time. Don't swallow it.
Keep it in your mouth.
Do you understand? Here.
(I'm reporting an abusive police officer.)
- Hi. - Good evening.
- Hi. - Who is this?
It's Moo Goong Hwa, our female warrior.
Come on.
I heard about the one-man demonstration.
That's impressive.
- Hi. - Hi.
How are you?
How do you think we are?
You used a vacation day even when you knew how busy we were.
I see.
Other people seemed worried...
you might be making the problem bigger.
I'll be over there.
Don't you think you stand out too much?
You should consider the people around you.
There hasn't been one single quiet day since you came.
Don't you feel sorry?
I'll make up for it with some good cup of coffee.
Give me a second.
What is she saying?
She isn't ordinary. She's annoying.
(Me)
(Chamsu-ri Substation)
- Yes, Hae Chan. - I'm going to meet Hyun Soo now.
I thought I should tell you.
All right. I'll be right there.
How long has this been going on?
You can tell me the truth.
Since when did your dad abuse you?
It's not like that. It really isn't.
I won't drag it out.
You're a man and a son.
When your mom can't do anything, you should protect her.
How long are you going to live being abused?
If you want to protect your mom,
tell me and I'll help you.
Hae Chan, could you give us some privacy?
It doesn't matter.
That's impressive.
Right? Ms. Heo is unbelievable.
It's not the Joseon Dynasty.
How dare she meet the girl she wants to set me up with!
I was talking about the girl, not Ms. Heo.
Yes, she's just as bad.
She won't stay down after I said no.
She's still willing to give me a try.
What are you going to do?
What do you mean?
They started this, so I'll have some fun with it.
What's with your look?
It's just that your answer was unexpected.
That's right.
As you know, I hate being predictable.
I really don't know what you have on your mind.
I didn't see this coming.
Ms. Heo is unbelievable.
What? Oh no!
Wake up, wake up. Are you okay?
Wake up!
