(Lovers in Bloom)
(Episode 54)
Who is coming over? Why did you ask Ms. Lee to stay?
The guy Bo Ra dated.
Why do you need Ms. Lee to be here?
What if she spreads a rumor?
It's nice to meet you. I'm Moo Su Hyuk.
- Oh, my! - My gosh!
Su Hyuk.
Mom.
What are you doing now, sir?
Who do you think you are? How dare you hit my son?
I hit him because he deserves it!
What? What did you just say?
Mom.
Does this mean the guy Bo Ra dated...
is your son?
Su Hyuk.
Your family could sustain yourselves because we hired your mother.
How dare you seduce my daughter?
Man up. Do you have that much time on your hands or what?
How can you try to climb up the ladder by using a girl?
I never did such a thing.
My mother did not raise me like that.
What did you say?
Now, I can understand why your daughter has been...
so lonely and distressed.
What?
Let's go, Mom.
That little...
Get back here!
Su Hyuk.
Ms. Lee.
He's unbelievable.
Bo Ra.
Why did you tell him to come here?
Shut your mouth and go to your room.
Did you do it on purpose knowing that he's Ms. Lee's son?
What does that mean? Are you saying you dated him fully knowing that?
Dad.
Go to your room!
I don't even want to live anymore. Why do you make me feel this way?
Do you actually want me to die?
How can you say such a thing to your dad?
Bo Ra!
That's enough.
Let go. This is all your fault.
- You took care of it? - Dad.
Then why are we in this mess now?
Tell me. Did you know...
that he is Ms. Lee's son?
- Come again? - You idiot.
I had a bad feeling about hiring her in the first place.
Go in and get some rest.
Mom.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry, Mom.
Why are you sorry?
You've done nothing wrong.
Don't worry about it.
I'm fine.
In life,
even worse things can happen.
It's not a matter of life or death, so don't worry.
It's just that...
he lacks moral qualities.
Just take pity on him, and let it go.
Yes, Mom.
Gosh. What's with me? It's almost time for Woo Ri to come home.
Please go in without me.
Why?
How can I go in with you looking like this?
What if our team members suspect us?
Why would it be a problem?
Office romance is always disadvantageous to the woman.
I'm so worried Corporal Jang might find out.
I'll go in first. Please wait here just a little while.
Why are you speaking formally?
You looked like you were going to talk down to me.
I automatically change my tone once I get to work. It's a reflex.
Go on in.
- How could you do that? - It was so hot.
- That's true. It was too hot. - I had no choice.
- Hello. - Stop.
Yes?
Oh, gosh. Who is this?
Exactly. Is that person in front of me really Officer Moo?
Officer Moo, did you have a date?
No, I didn't.
Hello.
What's going on?
Is there something going on with Unit One?
- Pardon? - You know...
Both Officer Moo and Mr. Cha...
don't usually dress like this.
- Especially Officer Moo. - Exactly.
What... What's wrong with my outfit?
I dress like this for a change. Are you satisfied?
- I'll go get changed. - Stop.
Both of you come closer to me.
We just located the thief on the online second-hand store.
Check out the information, and stake out there together.
Yes, sir. Officer Moo.
Yes, sir. We'll be on our way.
Will you go there in that dress?
You look pretty, but I don't think you can run or fight in that.
They must be planning to disguise themselves as a couple.
It's a perfect disguise.
We'll get changed and come back.
My goodness. They're so suspicious.
You try to start a rumor whenever you get a chance.
- Just get back to work. - Yes, sir.
Mom, why didn't you answer my call?
What's with your voice?
That's because I was sleeping.
- Where's Woo Ri? - She's sleeping.
Aren't you coming home?
I'm working night shift today.
I forgot.
I'm not myself today.
Okay.
Mom, is everything okay?
Okay.
Good night, Mom.
Is everything okay at home?
Yes.
I really want to catch the thief today.
It's hard, isn't it?
Stakeout isn't easy at all.
This doesn't even count as a stakeout.
What's the longest time that you staked out?
72 hours in a row.
That's awesome.
When was it?
When I was investigating a drug case.
Why did you move to the substation?
I heard you worked in the serious crime squad.
I heard Investigator Hwang I met when I was accused of violence...
planned it to set you up.
Is that true?
Don't try to find out. You might get hurt.
You knew, right?
When did you first find out that Ms. Lee is his mom?
Get out.
Are you happy about how it turned out?
Are you satisfied now?
It was you, right? You told my dad!
Chairman Jin asked me, so I answered. That's all.
It seems you told him everything including the Dongdaemun project.
Chairman Jin should know the situation.
So he can crush him mercilessly?
That's right. So he won't be able to...
show up in front of Bo Ra again.
I thought you were better than this.
Do you think you can win her heart by doing this?
Don't you think I have a higher chance than you do with Officer Moo?
That's it. That's your true color.
This is why I said you would never be with Bo Ra.
You ruthless jerk!
My gosh.
She's burning up.
I gave her a fever reducer. She'll get better shortly.
I'll call Dr. Jang over if she gets worse. Don't worry.
This is so frustrating.
Should I have taken care of it outside home?
You did the right thing.
Seeing how Bo Ra reacted, it wouldn't have ended...
if you didn't go that far.
You should be strict with her at times like this.
If you try not to upset her, you can't deal with the matter.
She may be resenting you now,
but she'll understand you eventually.
- All right. I'll get going. - Cheer up.
Who told you to look at my face? You should be watching.
I'm watching with my eyes open wide.
You're the one that dozed off.
I didn't doze off.
I guess your heart fluttered because I looked at you, and you woke up.
You dozed off while staking out. You're undisciplined.
Undisciplined?
You said you've staked out for 72 hours.
You know you dozed for 30 minutes last night, right?
I let it slide.
Why did you let it slide? That's neglect of duty.
You failed to keep your private and public life separate.
Let's wrap it up. I'll go to the bathroom.
Okay.
I failed again.
I've never caught the culprit while staking out.
Excuse me. Just a second, please.
You're Baek Jong Hyun who lives in Unit 305, right?
- Wait. - Let go!
You're under arrest for fraud and theft.
You may explain yourself,
and you have the right to an attorney.
Can we talk for a minute?
I've heard everything I need to hear.
I don't have anything to say either.
- Mr. Moo. - Take care.
I'll see you later.
- Was that your mom? - Yes.
It's a chicken restaurant. Why did she even ask me what I want to eat?
It's either seasoned chicken or fried chicken.
Don't grumble like that. It's rude.
You obviously know how much she loves you.
Was everything okay yesterday?
You came back in one piece.
Don't ask needless questions.
Come with me later.
It's on my mom.
Have beer with me. It'll cheer you up.
Just go by yourself.
You'll have to eat anyway.
It's the first time she's seeing you after she got remarried.
I'm sure there are things she wants to tell you.
Go and let her know that you're fine with her decision.
Well, you should just bring him here for dinner.
I'll meet him at the restaurant today.
We'll have him come over when Mother wants to invite him.
You must be hungry.
Go wash up.
I made the cold eggplant soup which you love.
Cold eggplant soup? That's great.
Oh, right.
Take it. The bankbook is in the drawer.
Why are you giving me this?
You should manage our money from now on.
Most men have their wives manage things like this, you know.
Sang Chul.
You won't be able to buy everything you want like some people do,
but if you want to eat something, eat it.
And if you need anything, buy it.
You should be the one giving Mom her spending money from now on.
Also, give some to Hee Jin to help them with their expenses.
I'm making it sound like I'm giving you a ton of money.
You'll see, but it's not much.
Thanks.
Why are you thanking me? I should apologize to you.
I'm basically making you deal with this headache going forward.
You know what?
This is my first time getting things like this.
I'm so happy.
Stop staring at me.
I missed you to death.
Is everyone nice to you?
They don't alienate you?
What are you talking about? All of them are very nice to me.
My life has completely changed for the better.
I'm worried that I might gain weight as my life is so comfortable now.
My gosh, I'm so glad I finally got to meet you in person.
I'm sorry that this is all I can give you.
Would you like more fried chicken? Have more beer too.
Gosh, it's okay. I've already had a lot.
You have a cute smile. You're very stylish too.
Come by often.
You can bring all of your friends too.
Everything will be on me.
You said you'd be late. You're back early.
The get-together ended earlier than I thought.
Oh, this is my wife. Say hello.
Right, she's your sister now.
Nice to meet you. I'm Son Ju Young.
It's nice to meet you.
Well, then...
Enjoy the food.
I should get going too.
Stay longer. Father should be back soon.
I have a lot of work to do.
I'll see you again soon.
Goodbye.
Gosh, I'm sad to let you go like this.
- You don't need to see me out. - Get back safely.
Thank you.
I should get going too.
Okay. See you at home, Mother.
Ju Young.
Let's go somewhere and talk.
We can have dinner together too.
I don't want to.
Ju Young, please.
You're leaving already?
Why don't you stay longer?
I have a lot of work to do.
I'll see you another time.
Did something happen?
What's there to happen?
Nothing happened.
Then why did he leave like that?
I think he's swamped at work.
I have to stop by the market. I'll see you at home.
I'm home.
- You're home already? - Where's Woo Ri?
At the playground.
What's wrong? Did something happen?
Mom.
So are you saying that Bo Ra is the girl you've been telling me about,
the daughter of the family you work for?
That's right.
That pretty girl is the one Su Hyuk was seeing.
That must've been why my heart ached for her every time I saw her.
For some reason, I couldn't stop worrying about her.
That is crazy.
She told me that her boyfriend is poor...
but hard-working and kind-hearted.
I could tell that she cared about him a lot.
I had no idea Su Hyuk was that guy.
I really didn't know. Do you know what I said to her?
I told her to just listen to her parents...
and date the lawyer they want to set her up with.
I told her not to be with a guy who will make her life difficult.
She cried in front me a number of times, but I...
I had no idea.
Her dad...
accused Su Hyuk of using a girl to climb up the ladder.
He slapped your brother across the face...
while spewing such nonsense.
What?
Gosh, what...
Was Su Hyuk just standing there quietly like an idiot?
In front of that man,
he said everything he wanted to say and walked out confidently.
But when we got home,
he said sorry to me while shuddering.
He didn't want to break my heart,
so he couldn't even cry. I could see him trying to hold back his tears.
Mom.
What should I do?
Mom.
Mom, please don't cry.
I just wanted to see if you got back safely.
Is that why you called?
Yes. And I don't want you to worry about me.
I was worried.
I'm really okay, Ju Young.
Then we're good.
Ju Young.
I shouldn't have told him to come over.
Was that Ju Young?
Yes. He got back safely.
I was wrong.
We should've...
introduced him to my family before we got married.
We shouldn't put it off any longer. Let's invite him over this weekend.
I'll talk to Mom about it.
It's already late. Let's not rush it.
We can invite him when everyone in the family is at ease.
Gosh, where's my mind at? The soup will boil over.
You didn't have to come home.
I can prepare dinner by myself.
I'm sorry about before.
I interrupted you while having a good time.
That's okay. You don't have to worry about it.
What's this?
Use it for living expenses.
- Living expenses? - Yes.
I'll give you the money on this day every month from now on.
Did Dad tell you to do this?
What's the matter?
Did I upset you?
No. What's there for me to be upset about?
What were you doing there?
She paid for the food after all.
I'm talking about Mother.
She put the money for the food Ju Young ate in the cash register.
She didn't have to. Gosh.
I received 100 dollars more than before.
What are you talking about?
The money for living expenses that Dad used to give me.
It looks like he started to give her his salary this month.
I'm very grateful for Mother's thoughtful attention.
I know.
I should be feeling the same way. I don't know why I'm not.
I didn't realize it when I lived with my family alone.
After Ms. Oh moved in with us,
I started to feel uncomfortable living with my parents.
Suddenly, I feel like I'm a nuisance to them.
I just want to move out right now.
How can we move out right now?
If only we hit the jackpot.
Hit the jackpot?
Actually, Baek Ho...
What?
Nothing.
- I'm home. - I'm glad you're here.
Come here and massage my shoulders.
Okay.
Come.
It feels so good.
It's hard to study, isn't it?
Your mom is doing this for your sake.
Don't argue with her too much.
In fact, I want my mom to...
give me a little less attention.
She can't even buy new clothes.
When she does, she hides it in my room.
What? What are you talking about?
Mom wears her new clothes and shoes without letting Dad know.
Your dad wouldn't complain about it. Why would she do that?
Besides, your mom wouldn't worry about things like that.
Exactly. Mom has been acting so weird lately.
She told Dad she'd pick me up, but she didn't show up.
She's so cautious about everything regarding you.
What's going on with her?
All right.
(1,000-dollar check)
What... What's all this?
Hee Jin, you're not...
(Chamsu-ri Substation)
Hello.
- Good job in the stakeout. - Hello.
The senior superintendent spoke so highly of you.
Your stakeout was successful, and you caught the thief.
But you don't look so happy.
You know how modest I am.
Officer Moo, do you have any worries?
Yes, I do.
You must have a lot of worries.
- Pardon? - I'm just saying...
that I'd have a lot of things to worry about if I were you.
What do you mean by that?
I saw you with Mr. Cha the other day.
Did something happen?
I guess the bomb is going to explode at last.
I was so anxious about it.
What are you talking about?
We got caught by Corporal Jang.
Don't worry about it.
How can I not worry about it?
If she brings that up again, tell her to talk with me.
That's not the only one you worry about, right?
Let's talk after lunch.
Honey, see you later.
Okay. See you later.
I'm sorry. I'll be back shortly.
Thank you for your work, honey.
- Hee Jin. - How did you know I was here?
What are you doing here?
Who are you waiting for?
- Get up. - You go first.
- I'll leave shortly. - I said, get up!
- Hee Jin. - Mom.
What... "Mom"?
(Lovers in Bloom)
Bo Ra came to see me.
She got surprised when she saw your office was empty.
I'm sorry, Dad. I'm going back to the US.
- Will you keep seeing your mother? - Why shouldn't I?
I have two mothers-in-law now.
Jae Hee, why are you calling at this hour?
- Do Hyun did? - He's in love with someone.
What kind of person is she?
She's a mom.
Officer Moo, you're unexpectedly brave.
- I'm a little upset. - Corporal Jang.
Mr. Cha is dating something else.
Who is she?
