(Lovers in Bloom)
Hae Chan.
I'm here.
This is a discounted price?
Gosh, it's still too expensive.
It's not even that much discount.
Can't they give us at a cheaper price?
You should just get it if you want it, Mom.
I'll look around more.
(Episode 30)
You're so foolish.
I get that you were in urgent need of money,
but how can you do something so horrible?
Didn't you know?
You get hurt first if you're trying to harm others.
Why on earth did you do something so crazy? Answer me.
I wanted to get that jerk, Do Hyun,
in trouble.
Ms. Choi.
He kept talking about my parents.
He was like, "Do your parents know that you're living like this?"
He even mocked my brother.
My dad passed away early,
but he worked harder than anyone else I know.
How dare he talk about my dad?
Seung Jae has a heart of gold.
He's not better than me in any way.
The only thing he can brag about is that his parents are rich.
Does your family know?
Does your mom know about this?
That woman ran away with a guy...
after my dad died.
The day she left, she told me to take my brother...
and play with him outside because she had to clean the house.
She made me wear new shoes that didn't even fit me.
Even though my feet hurt so much as the skin got all scraped off,
I couldn't go back...
because I was so worried that we might run into that man.
I didn't want Seung Jae to see it.
I had no idea that they ran away together.
If you care about your brother that much,
how can you do such a thing?
What's he supposed to do now?
Have you even thought about that?
I'm sorry.
Officer Moo.
I can't go to jail.
If that happens, Seung Jae won't be able to finish school.
He'll turn out as a mess like me.
Please help me.
If you want me to beg that jerk, Do Hyun,
I'll do it.
Would you be able to tell him...
to try to forgive me?
My brother, Seung Jae, needs me.
Ms. Choi.
(Chamsu-ri Substation)
Gosh, I don't even know what to say.
She seemed smart. How could she think we'd fall for a lie like that?
She was being harassed by loan sharks.
I guess she needed something to hold onto even if it was a rotten rope.
Officer Moo must be upset.
She was just trying to help, but it got out of hand again.
Are you saying I'm a rapist?
Tell her to press charges all she wants.
I'll go ahead and sue her for falsely accusing me.
Let's see who wins!
(Officer Moo)
- Gosh, why are you calling me? - I'd like to meet with you.
Do you have any time today?
I'm having a drink because I'm so mad at the false accusations.
You can come here if you want to talk.
Mr. Cha.
You did your best as a police officer.
You can't be responsible for someone else's lie.
But I did make a mistake.
So? Are you going to apologize to him?
I feel so bad for Ms. Choi because of the situation she's in.
He's at a bar near the intersection by Gangnam Station.
I want to go and ask him for a favor.
Goong Hwa.
I have to do it even if you think I'm being stupid.
Are you saying you'll go there alone at this late hour?
I'm a mom.
I can handle it.
You're a police officer here, not a mom!
Have a seat.
What is it? Do you not want to sit beside a rapist or something?
Sit down if you're willing to be my drinking buddy,
and leave if you're going to be just standing there.
I'm really sorry about the other day.
You're sorry?
That's so easy.
Drink it.
I'm allergic to alcohol.
You're allergic to alcohol?
You're unusual in many ways.
Why did you come here when you can't even drink?
Seung Ah confessed everything.
She confessed?
It sounds like she confessed her sin to a priest in the church.
You should say that she admitted that she lied.
What did she say?
She said that she set you up,
and you never sexually assaulted her.
So what? I don't think you're here just to tell me that.
Well, in fact...
It seems Seung Ah had a hard time because of private loan,
and made a mistake.
Could you take that into consideration?
Oh, gosh. That's just ridiculous.
Why would I do that?
Why should I be generous to her?
She accused me of sexual assault,
and now she's asking me to help her?
- Mr. Jin. - No!
I can't do that.
That witch. I'll make sure...
she gets punished as harshly as possible. You should know that.
She should be punished as she committed a crime.
Don't you think so?
Okay.
I understand.
That witch fooled you completely. Aren't you angry?
That trashy witch.
Your love for citizens is impressive. It's amazing!
Did you just call her trash?
I'm more surprised by you than her.
How can you call a person something like that?
Do you think you're pure and noble?
That's enough!
Did you call her trash?
You even talked about her parents.
She also said you looked down on her brother.
Seung Ah lost her dad when she was little, and her mom got remarried.
She had to make a living on her own.
Her life may appear to be trashy to you,
but even in difficult circumstances,
she took care of her younger siblings with huge debts.
So what?
Are you saying what she did is acceptable?
There's no person you can call trash.
Your thoughts are trashy. You treat others thoughtlessly.
Did you just call me trashy?
You hurt others' feelings...
while complaining about your pain.
Other people feel pain too when you hurt them.
Everyone feels pain, not just you.
Gosh. Shut it!
Excuse me.
Stop there.
I said, stop!
Darn it.
Goong Hwa.
What?
What was that?
You said you're allergic to alcohol.
A few glasses are okay.
I'll take medicine.
How long have you been allergic to alcohol?
Were you born with the allergy?
No, I wasn't born with it.
I think it began when my husband passed away.
Is it a psychological problem?
The doctor said it's not certain, but I might be traumatized.
I think I might overcome it someday.
Just as you said, I have a long way to go to be a good police officer.
Of course, you do.
You've just become one. It's too soon to tell.
I can't do anything properly.
I'm the one who's drinking. Why are you acting like you're drunk?
You once told me...
that the victim has the right not to forgive.
In fact, while asking Mr. Jin...
to forgive Seung Ah,
I got angry and yelled at him.
I should've held back my anger.
Gosh. Why did I do that?
What's wrong with me?
Laugh all you want.
I told you not to step in.
She is like me.
I sympathized with Seung Ah's story.
You're too nosy.
I'm Woo Ri's mom.
Woo Ri is growing up without her dad.
I don't know if I can fill the void.
I'm worried Woo Ri might get hurt as she grows up.
My dad passed away when I was in ninth grade.
At least, I have good memories of my dad.
Woo Ri doesn't even know her dad's face.
I hope she grows up well.
I'm worried that she might grow up with pain like Seung Ah's.
I'm afraid of that.
I'm glad I didn't drink.
You grew up well.
Sorry?
Woo Ri will grow up well.
I'm sure she'll grow up well as she has a mom like you.
You're comforting me because you're drunk.
I mean it.
Oh, we... We're here.
I followed the GPS. Is this your house?
Yes, it is.
Your designated driver will get going now.
Take the car.
Sorry?
Drive home with this car.
What if I damage your car?
You can pay for the damage.
Mr. Cha.
I'll lend you my car in return for driving me home.
Drive safely.
Gosh, it's bitter.
I'm home.
I'll drink with you, Mom.
Just go to sleep.
I'm the one who feels like drinking.
Why does everyone around me drink?
- Is something bothering you? - No.
What is it?
Mom.
After Dad passed away,
Aunt told you to meet someone saying he's a good catch.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I was in 11th grade. I pretended I was sleeping, but I heard you.
You must've had a dream.
I wasn't a little child as I was in 11th grade,
but I was afraid...
you might get remarried.
You refused the blind date without hesitating...
and threw a fit.
Why did you do that?
Wasn't it because of me and Su Hyuk?
Mom, I have no intention of getting remarried.
Even if I decide to get remarried,
I'll only marry a man whom Woo Ri likes.
He won't just be my husband.
He'll have to be a dad to Woo Ri.
I'm saying I'll only marry a guy who can be both.
It's not that easy though.
Woo Ri isn't his daughter.
Then I'll just live alone.
I'll live as a confident, cool single mother.
I heard that most mothers these days don't want their daughters...
to get remarried because they want to live with them.
You're odd.
Out of everyone, you should understand how I feel.
Look who's talking. Can't you try to understand me?
I think it'll be hard at the moment.
I'll probably come to understand you when I'm around your age.
That's how life is, you know.
All children make their parents worry so much about them.
Right. And they only regret it...
after their parents die.
You've had enough. No more drinks for you.
Gosh, she drives me crazy.
Why does her life have to be so much like mine?
Woo Ri will grow up well.
I'm sure she'll grow up well as she has a mom like you.
I really want her to.
Woo Ri, I believe in you.
Eat well, smile a lot,
and grow up well.
Yes. She confessed?
Exactly. He was just unlucky.
All right, thanks.
Let's grab a drink together soon. Bye.
- Did she confess? - Yes.
Gosh, I can't believe he got involved with a girl like her.
I'm relieved.
- Hey. - Do Hyun.
That girl came clean, so you can now put your worries to rest.
I heard she confessed everything and begged for forgiveness.
I'm glad that it didn't turn into a bigger problem.
Hey, worse things can happen in life.
Just forget about it.
Mom got this for you.
I'm so relieved, Do Hyun.
- But... - What?
You should take things more seriously when it comes to dating.
Even if you weren't, the other party could've been serious about it.
It means you end up hurting people whether you intended it or not.
I heard you. Get out now.
Gosh, I can finally sleep well.
By the way, what can we do to make him feel better?
Oh, how about we go out for a meal together?
That might lift everyone's spirit. What do you think?
Why are you so deep in thought?
How about we go out for lunch tomorrow with the kids?
All right.
There's no person you can call trash.
Your thoughts are trashy. You treat others thoughtlessly.
You hurt others' feelings while complaining about your pain.
Other people feel pain too when you hurt them.
Everyone feels pain, not just you.
What are you making?
I thought you'd be hungover, so I made seafood porridge.
All right. Have a seat.
Try it.
You made it well.
Mom, I may not cook often,
but I'm a great cook.
I should give it to Woo Ri.
Mom, you should eat it.
I made a ton of it.
Goodness, what has gotten into you?
You put a lot of work into this, which is unlike you.
Where's Su Hyuk? He didn't come home?
He must be swamped. He said he won't be home for a few days.
I should make some side dishes and drop them off for him.
He doesn't do so well in summer.
Me neither.
Whatever.
I don't care because you make me worry all the time.
Mom, this isn't right. We talked it through yesterday,
so you should stop going on about it. You're being uncool.
Gosh, you brat.
Shall I take some to Mr. Cha...
or not?
- Mr. Jin? - Meet me at the kickboxing gym.
I'll let go of it if you can knock me out.
I won, so you have to keep your promise.
Gosh, this feels so nice!
I've never felt...
this refreshed after getting beaten up.
Do you know how weird you are?
That's what I want to say.
Ms. Moo.
Do you know that you come across as really weird?
When a loser reaches out his hand,
a winner should hold it if she has manners.
What's all this?
You had to drink yesterday because of me.
Are you saying you made this for me?
In your dreams.
My mom also drank quite a bit last night because of me.
I made it as we had some seafood at home.
Your mom didn't make this?
Don't underestimate me.
It's pretty good.
With this,
I'm paying you back for letting me use your car.
Hello?
Yes, Assistant Inspector Son.
Oh, really?
Yes, I'm glad to hear that.
Thank you for letting me know.
Yes, thank you.
Mr. Jin has decided to withdraw the civil suit against Ms. Choi.
He'll also file a petition asking the police...
to consider her situation and not punish her.
- Really? - Yes.
What's going on with Mom?
She was never late.
Try calling her.
I told you Ms. Heo and I can't get along.
We just can't. It's impossible.
Quit it.
Is she not answering?
No, she's not.
Did she leave her phone at home?
Let's eat without her.
Do Hyun!
- I'm hungry. - Wait!
Call her again.
Okay.
I'm serious. He walks like this.
No, he doesn't.
Gosh.
- See you tomorrow. - Bye.
She's not answering the land-line either.
Did something happen to her?
- Dad. - Are you leaving?
Eat without us.
Dad.
Sit down and eat up.
Are you going to meet Jae Hee?
Yes, I am.
You can go out with him,
but marry someone I approve of.
- Do Hyun. - Keep that in mind.
Hey. Hold on a second.
I guess things will work out well for you.
You don't have to...
I tied them very tightly.
Let's finish this work nicely.
I heard shoelaces are undone when someone misses you.
Since I heard that, I feel good...
whenever my shoelaces are undone.
Did something happen?
Why are you staring at me like that?
Do I look that pretty?
Exactly.
Why are you all dressed up today?
I told you I have plans.
I'm running late.
Bo Ra.
- Don't go. - What?
Don't go there to meet him.
Where did she go while I was in the bathroom?
Grandmother, where are you?
Grandmother! Grandmother!
Where is Hee Jin?
She went out to pick Hae Chan up.
I'd like to meet you...
after work.
I...
gave it a serious thought.
I think we should end things here when we have good memories.
Choon Rae.
I told you I hate that name.
It made my heart flutter in the old days, but it doesn't anymore.
I hate it because it reminds me of the hard times I went through.
Ms. Noh will throw a fit if she finds out that I'm Choon Rae.
She likes me now. I don't want to shock her.
I'll take care of it. Trust me.
You didn't trust me back then...
I don't want your family members to have bad memories about me.
- Choon Rae. - Oh, my.
(Lovers in Bloom)
You look great.
Are you dating a young woman or something?
- No way. - How long have you been dating?
I have feelings for her.
- I want to... - Sang Chul.
How many times do I have to tell you there can be unexpected situations?
- What's going on? - Mom.
- Why are you so angry? - Pardon?
- It's not like that. - Oh, yes!
You should treat me to a meal.
I thought she had plans for lunch. Is she on a date?
I wish that was the case.
