(Lovers in Bloom)
(Episode 36)
What did you have to say to me?
Am I in trouble for something again?
Goong Hwa.
You said you aren't dating Jin Do Hyun.
Yes,
I told him I'm not interested.
And?
He wants to date me.
He doesn't care that I'm a single mom.
I don't know why he's acting like this.
People think I'm easy when I tell them I lost my husband,
but it's not like that.
If you don't have anything else to say,
I should get going.
Woo Ri is waiting for me.
I...
like you.
I like you too.
As a partner.
As my partner.
You know I don't mean that.
I didn't think it would be easy.
Mr. Cha.
The thing is...
You don't have to answer me now.
I just wanted to tell you how I feel.
I'm asking you if you're the Chinese-Korean woman...
Sang Chul met in Incheon a long time ago.
Mom, I...
Why aren't you answering me?
I'm sorry.
Oh, my goodness.
Are you okay?
How could you!
Did you hide it from me,
thinking I'd be against it like I was in the past?
I'm sorry.
Let's go into your room and I'll tell you everything.
There's nothing more to tell.
I have nothing to hear.
- I don't approve of this marriage. - Mom.
I can't accept someone I can't trust in my home.
Mark my words.
What are you talking about?
What marriage?
Hee Jin.
Whose marriage? Yours?
Let's talk about this later.
Dad.
What was Dad just talking about?
Were you dating my dad behind my back all this time?
Hee Jin.
Answer me.
What is Dad talking about?
I knew something was weird.
You must've resented me for this.
Leave me. I have nothing more to say.
I won't let her go even if you're against us.
- Sang Chul. - I'm 60 years old now.
Please let me have this.
I beg of you.
Don't get off.
You live close to me.
I could walk here.
Are you going to act like this?
What do you mean?
You're acting awkward.
You should go in.
You leave first.
I'll leave after watching you go in.
Okay.
Goong Hwa, what is it? Are you okay?
What? Yes.
I'm fine.
What's wrong?
I ran home and was just tired.
Why did you run home on a hot day like this?
I needed the exercise.
Where's Woo Ri?
It's already late.
She's sleeping in my room.
She must be tired, so don't wake her up and go wash up.
All right.
Ms. Oh.
You're back.
Are you going somewhere?
I'm just going for a walk.
Go on in.
Dad.
Did you happen to see her on your way home?
- She just went out. - Where did she go?
She said she was going for a walk.
Oh, I see.
- So, you already knew that. - Hee Jin.
How could you do that?
I understand Dad,
but you should've have told me.
I should've known about his marriage as his daughter.
I was going to tell you. I was so frustrated.
How could you be so clueless?
I gave you a hint, but you didn't get it.
You betrayed me. Do you know that?
That's ridiculous.
It only proves that I'm the best son-in-law.
You didn't see how affectionate your dad was.
I realized finding the right person at his age made him so affectionate.
It even made me want to cry.
You should be on his side even though Grandmother is against it.
- Why should I? - Why?
You shouldn't say that.
He lived alone for so long to raise you and your brother.
Hi, Tae Jin.
What's with the tension in our home?
Dad looks upset too.
Did something happen regarding him and Ms. Oh?
What?
Did you know about them too?
Yes, I did.
Only I didn't know that.
Everyone else was in on it. This is unbelievable.
How could you say that?
That's how indifferent you were...
- about your dad. - What did you say?
If you had paid as much attention as you did Hae Chan,
you would've noticed it.
He became so much happier.
No wonder she was so kind to us when she just moved in with us.
No one would be kind to others without a purpose.
Don't be disrespectful to her. Our dad is dating her.
Speaking ill of her is the same as offending our dad.
He doesn't deserve that.
You have such a big heart.
It must be good to be you!
Gosh.
It seems like Grandmother said she's against their marriage.
- Why? - I have no idea.
It's weird. Why would she act like that all of a sudden?
She looked like she'd approve of it a few days ago.
Stop. Grandmother turned off the light in her room.
I really enjoyed the food.
You're not bad at all.
I've been a good cook for a long time.
You should be grateful for your mom.
Daughters inherit their moms' cooking skills.
You must've inherited her skills.
Bo Ra has a long way to go. She needs a lot more experience.
Why don't you eat some more?
Eating well keeps you healthy.
You're taking strong medications.
You should eat more than that.
I ate a lot.
You're going to be late.
You said you need meet Mr. Park.
It won't be a problem if I'm late. He's the one in need.
Can I have scorched rice soup too?
- Of course. I'm making it. - Good.
Give some to your mom too.
Okay.
I said I ate a lot.
Try to eat just a little more.
Hey, you did that on purpose, didn't you?
What do you mean? I'm trying my best.
Don't you like it?
You changed so much it seemed like you were sarcastic.
You scold me however I act.
What do you want me to do?
I barely managed to refrain myself to say a few things.
That's impressive. I didn't know you could refrain yourself.
I should.
- I want to run the hotel. - You brat.
We're leaving now.
See you later. Please take good care of yourself.
Don't skip your meals even if you don't want to eat.
Don't worry about me. Have a nice day.
Just go, you brat.
- See you later, Dad. - See you.
Mom.
How about we go out together?
I want to go shopping with you,
and have a great time.
I have something to tell you too.
It could make you feel better.
Maybe later.
Let's do that when I get better.
Mom,
there's nothing going on with you, right?
What do you mean by that?
I'm just wondering if you have any worries.
I have no worries.
I'm glad to hear that.
I was worried for nothing.
You don't have to worry about me.
It's all because I'm getting older.
My mood changes so many times in a day. Gosh.
Go get some rest.
I'll clean up the kitchen.
Then, shall I let my daughter take care of it?
I'll get going.
Okay.
- Baek Ho. - Yes?
Is no one home?
Father didn't seem to sleep last night. He left early this morning.
Hee Jin must feel guilty. She hasn't come down yet.
Hae Chan went to school. You should eat breakfast.
I don't have any appetite either.
See you later.
Okay. Have a nice day.
The house feels so empty.
Did you sleep well?
I don't think I can make it. When is the next event?
- It's Friday of the week after. - Let go of me.
- Let me go. - Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Did you all get a good rest? - Good morning.
I shouldn't have let Mr. Park...
talk me into drinking soju too.
You're the one who asked me to have a drink with you.
How can you do this to me?
I asked to drink only three glasses.
You kept whining about being alone...
saying you feel so lonely and sad.
How dare you?
Everyone, Mr. Lee cried yesterday.
Hey, you! Stop there!
Mr. Cha, I'll leave today's meeting to you.
I'll order to check on single elderly people and homeless people.
Okay. Get to work now.
- Are you planning voluntary works? - Yes, I am.
When are you free, Officer Moo?
I'm ready to work anytime.
Put me on all the vacant days.
Okay. I'll do that.
Don't work too hard.
You shouldn't let it affect your work here.
I'm quite strong and healthy.
I can get overtime pay, right?
Yes, you can. Don't you think you're working too hard?
What if you collapse again?
It doesn't matter as long as I get paid.
Officer Moo, can you cover for me on your next day off?
I have to go somewhere with Corporal Han in Unit Two.
Okay. I can work night shifts too.
Thank you.
Please don't say that. I thank you for letting us use this office.
I'm glad to hear that.
I was worried because the real estate market is slow these days.
Don't worry about us.
Okay. I'll talk to you later. Bye.
Did he sell this office?
Yes, he did.
What are we going to now?
We have no choice.
We should get contracts by all means.
Where are you going?
I'm going to meet Jeong Hwan.
Oh, your friend who's a manager at a large advertising agency?
Yes. I ran into him not long ago.
I told him about our project at Dongdaemun. He'll take a look.
I'll get some ideas from him.
- See you. - Bye.
I'm doing my food delivery volunteer work today.
Would you like to come with me?
I'm sorry, but I'm busy today.
I'll see you later.
That's mean.
You said you'd go.
You only make empty promises.
Hello.
Ju Young, it's Mom.
Mom, where are you?
How are you?
Do you eat well?
Are you making sure not to skip meals?
Where are you, Mom? Let's meet.
Is this your number?
Yes, it is.
I'll go to you.
Where should I meet you?
I'll be there for certain.
All right, I'll call you when I get there. Okay?
Okay, see you soon. Bye.
(Cha Sang Chul)
(Power off)
The phone you have called is turned off.
Hi.
You're the one who brought Dad home last time, right?
Yes.
It's nice to meet you. I'm the Chairman's son.
I'm Cha Sang Chul.
Here.
- Buy yourself lunch with this. - That's okay.
Take it.
It's okay for me to give my employee some money.
It's also a thank you for last time. Here you go.
You could take all the security men out for sundaegukbap.
No, please don't.
It's a done deal.
I don't pick things off the floor.
Have a nice day.
(100-dollar-check)
Dad!
The security man that saved you last time...
isn't really your type. He's stiff.
I'll have to make some time...
to break him in.
Should I do it for you? You know I'm good at it.
I thought you didn't want to trouble yourself with your own business.
Do you like the hotel?
I have a social position to maintain.
I need to run a strong business.
The hotel fits me well.
Why you...
I'm going to be watching, so do your best.
I told you not to worry about it.
How did I do today?
I had breakfast with you and was trying my best.
Don't overreact.
I'm not an actor. I can't control myself that easily.
I'm putting on the act of my life.
My assets aren't going anywhere.
It'll all go to you one day,
so don't act too sensitive.
Let her live in ease.
Your mother is the only person that can put up with me.
If I'm left alone,
do you think you could handle it?
All right.
Think about the hotel.
All right, the hotel.
All right.
This is a relief.
Are you sure?
Of course, you have great ideas.
You haven't gotten rusty.
You're doing much better than I am.
Agencies must be doing well. You look as handsome as ever.
I should thank you for that.
You flatter me.
I got my job thanks to the project I did with you, so it's true.
They dropped you, thinking you were the designer.
I was the designer and you planned everything.
That was a long time ago.
How is work? Do you like it?
It's like the jungle. I work with cold-blooded people.
Are you making any money?
It's hard, but it's okay.
Who knows if I'll make it big one day.
Then you might have to work for me.
I'll be looking forward to that.
Gosh.
She won't answer my calls or call me.
Is this Chamsu-ri Substation?
Is Officer Moo in?
She's out patrolling and isn't at her seat.
Whom should I say called?
It's all right. I'll call her cell phone.
Have a nice day. Wait a second.
If she's out patrolling,
did she go with Mr. Cha?
All right, goodbye.
What's on your mind?
I'm trying to draw a very big picture.
The hotel?
I can control that with money,
but money doesn't get through this girl.
It's weird that I can't give up on her.
Is it because Cha Tae Jin is by her?
He's bringing out the competitive side of me.
Cha Tae Jin? Are you talking about Officer Moo's partner?
Forget it. Let's stop talking about it. It gives me a headache.
- Why are you here? - To get lunch with you.
Are you sure you're hiring Dami Ad for the job?
Yes, he's pretty good.
If he does a good job, I'm thinking of having him work on the hotel.
That's funny.
I told you to stop playing games.
I didn't play that much.
You were at the Internet cafe every day of the finals.
Stop nagging.
You're starting to sound like your mom.
What?
Ms. Heo. Hi.
What brings you here?
I was passing by.
Did you say your mom owns a chicken restaurant?
Yes.
My family loves chicken.
That's why I wanted to ask you...
for the number to your mom's restaurant.
Okay.
You got off work early today.
Yes, where is Baek Ho?
He's making a delivery.
Ms. Oh hasn't called.
You seem disappointed in me.
I'm not against it,
but I'm not happy with it.
I'm upset I was the only one in the dark.
I should congratulate you if you met someone nice,
but honestly, I feel like...
I was betrayed by you.
- Hee Jin. - Yes.
I'm actually very disappointed.
It's important what your children think when you remarry.
I'm your eldest.
How could you make the decision without even telling me?
Yes, this is Good Luck Chicken.
Hee Jin.
It's Mom.
It isn't Ms. Oh.
It isn't?
Then I'll let you work.
Hee Jin, are you listening?
Why did you call me?
How did you get this number?
I'm in the cafe at the back of your restaurant.
I'll wait until you come.
No.
I have nothing to tell you.
So don't wait for me.
Did you say something to Father?
He seemed upset.
Hee Jin, I'm very disappointed in you.
Why are you acting like a little child?
I'm disappointed in you too.
Am I really your wife?
What are you saying?
Do you know how I feel?
Do you even know that I have so much to think about?
What's wrong with her?
Gosh. Seriously.
We're back.
- Good job in such hot weather. - We're back.
It's so hot outside.
- Did you have lunch? - Of course, we did.
- Did you? - Not yet.
The cold noodles at the new restaurant are good.
Order it.
I can eat later...
Hi, this is Chamsu-ri Substation. Can I order two cold noodles?
You remember the person we took to the studio, right?
I heard that person disappeared.
Is that so?
The studio manager seemed happy about that...
saying he was always drunk, and it caused worries.
I hope nothing happened to him.
Let's check out the places where homeless people gather next time.
Okay.
My friend from college had new front tooth because of this.
He had gapped tooth.
What does that have to do with cold noodles?
He loved cold noodles,
but he couldn't cut noodles with his front tooth.
Making a joke like that doesn't suit you.
I can be funny too.
What did your mom say?
About what?
She saw me that day.
She said you were polite, but you seemed cold-hearted.
Did you explain the situation?
What situation?
I was angry because you almost got hit by a car.
You should've explained what really happened.
Because you're my partner,
I told her that you're fair and competent,
and help me a lot at work. I lied to side with you.
What did she say?
I won't talk to you now. Let's eat.
The weather is so hot.
I'm worried that he doesn't have clean clothes to change into.
I should visit his office.
This and...
- Mom. - Ju Young.
- Mom. - I'm here.
Have you been well? Have you?
Let me take a look at your face.
Mom.
You got so much thinner.
Mom, are you okay?
You're the one who looks haggard.
I'm perfectly fine.
Where have you been staying?
I've been working.
So many people want me to work for them.
Oh, no.
I've been too busy to visit you.
They haven't called you...
or visited you, right?
No, they haven't.
They would've found me if they wanted to.
Besides, we already paid off our debt.
You should've stayed in Taiwan.
Why did you come to Korea and go through hardship?
What's the point of living there alone?
How could I continue studying there while you were working so hard?
All right.
Is this your workplace?
- Yes. - It looks nice.
I told you so. Why didn't you believe me?
Where do you sleep?
Here. There's a camp bed.
I'm relieved.
I was worried if you were staying...
at a small room with no sunlight...
sleeping without stretching your legs.
Who's that?
Oh, she's...
- Hello, Ms. Lee. - Hi.
Su Hyuk isn't here now.
Is that so?
It's okay. I came here to give him clean clothes...
Look who's here. You run into your enemy at the worst place and time.
Oh Gyung Ah, I'm so glad to find you at last.
(Lovers in Bloom)
Give me back my 20,000 dollars!
I'll pay her back the money!
- Choon Rae, where are you now? - Don't stop me.
Don't tell anyone about her.
How dare you?
I told you to pretend you didn't see and go back.
Find out who she meets and what she does.
Didn't you miss Mom?
Why did you bring that up? She's nothing to me.
- If we become friends first... - I like someone else.
I really like him.
