(Episode 58)
Are you okay?
Yes.
I'm really okay.
I must find a way.
The best possible way in this situation.
All right.
Don't worry too much. I've been through things like this a lot,
and my family overcame every single one.
I know that we'll be able to get through this.
Everything will be all right.
Watch your face, will you?
I'm fine with you looking at me with lust-filled eyes,
but I'm not okay with you giving me that pitying look.
You're acting up.
I'm hungry.
My stomach is acting up because I ran a little.
Let's go eat something delicious.
You treated me last time, so this one will be on me.
Forget it.
Gosh, I hate women who always make guys pay.
Come to think of it,
those at the station must think that I'm full of hot air.
You can treat them after everything gets resolved.
I should.
After everything gets resolved.
I can't do that.
Why not?
I can't let you downsize to monthly lease apartment for me.
You're only thinking about yourself. What about me?
Do you want me to just watch you letting your life fall apart?
- Mom, please. - What are you so sorry for?
Then I should probably beat myself up for the rest of my life.
Some parents buy their children cars that are way over 100,000 dollars,
yet I can't even afford to pay your settlement fee.
Regardless of what you say, I won't change my mind.
I hope you know that this isn't helping me in any way.
You're just frustrating me.
Do you want me to die of anger or what?
Mom, please!
Su Hyuk.
There's always a way.
Had I thought that way,
I would've just followed your dad after he died.
And look at Goong Hwa.
She stayed strong after her husband died and is doing fine now.
I thought I did a very good job of raising my son.
I'm so disappointed in you.
Mom, did he say something to upset you again?
Anyhow, I absolutely can't allow it, so don't try to change my mind.
Su Hyuk.
Think about it. When something happens to us,
he just throws himself at it without thinking about the consequences.
How can we turn a blind eye when he's going through a rough patch?
That's such nonsense.
Why on earth does he always try to carry all the burden alone?
Calm down already.
This house... Su Hyuk started working part-time in high school...
and saved little by little...
to buy this house with his hard-earned money.
Okay, I heard you. Please lie down for now.
You might collapse if you keep this up, Mom.
You're not going to make us call an ambulance, right?
We sure are on the same wavelength.
I was going to talk to you about the same thing.
Don't worry, Mom.
Do whatever you want to do.
I'll also look into how much I can take out as a loan...
and try to help him out in every way I can.
Things are tough now, but this won't last.
Of course not. We'll work hard to save up enough for rent deposit...
and raise Woo Ri well.
- Baek Ho. - Hey, are you getting home now?
What are you doing out here? It's hot.
I'm just thinking about a bunch of things.
Is something bothering you?
You're the one who's stressed out.
It's complicated, isn't it?
Yes.
You can date Officer Moo.
You fall for the person, not her qualifications.
But you know what?
If you're thinking about marrying her, I'm against it too.
Baek Ho.
Can you think about it again?
Hee Jin hasn't even been able to sleep properly since that day.
Her dream is to see you meet a nice lady...
and starting a happy family. That woman is a single mom though.
Think about the shock Hee Jin must be in now.
Your sister is one thing, but what will you do about Grandmother?
Do you think she'll be okay with it?
She'll faint as soon as she hears about it.
Oh, didn't you say you were stepping out to get an ice cream?
Sorry?
What's wrong? You look as if you saw something you shouldn't have seen.
Is there something you want to tell me?
What is it about? Why are you hesitating?
- You... - Yes?
What kind of ice cream would you like?
How silly.
Whatever you choose would be fine.
I want something with red beans.
That sounds good to me.
Come to think of it, we even have similar food preferences.
Does that make you that happy?
Of course, it does.
Life is simple.
Living happily with someone you love is what life is all about.
You're right.
Lie down in the bed if you're going to sleep.
If you're going to say anything useless, get out now. I'm busy.
I'll tell you Mom's final decision.
We'll use our yearly rent to pay the settlement money,
and move to a monthly rental house.
Goong Hwa, leave right now if that's all you have to say.
Su Hyuk.
I want to thank you for many reasons.
You worked part-time to buy Woo Ri's diapers and formula.
Also, when Woo Ri couldn't sleep at night,
you walked around the neighborhood carrying her on your back.
I was so touched and grateful.
Please give me a chance to repay you just a little.
I could die for Woo Ri.
Do you think I'm lying?
That's called maternal love.
Men would never understand that feeling though.
Why are you acting like this?
It's because this is frustrating.
You can't just care about yourself ignoring how we'd feel.
I'm warning you.
Stop making Mom suffer pretending that you're doing this for her.
This is driving me crazy.
If you oppose this tomorrow morning, I might really kill you.
Why did you come back?
To kill my enemy with my kindness.
Your enemy?
Do you remember my friend from high school...
named Eun Ji?
I remember her.
Her parents went bankrupt because of Dad.
She got mad and bullied you at school.
She told me this then.
"Your father is trash,"
"so you're also trash."
Hey. Why didn't you tell me that?
How dare she said such a thing?
Maybe that left a scar.
When he said that loan sharks make him feel sick,
I couldn't tell him about my family.
If I had been honest with him about myself,
he wouldn't have turned around like that.
Am I wrong?
Do you think he would've run away if he had known?
Are you okay?
It still stings a bit.
Still, I'm holding up better than I thought.
In fact, we didn't even start a relationship.
You overreacted.
I was only getting ahead of myself.
How do you like the soup, Dad?
Did you make this?
I'm not good enough to make it so delicious.
It was Mom who made it.
I wish you had made bean sprout soup.
Why did you cook fish for breakfast? It upsets my stomach.
What are you doing now?
You said you have an upset stomach.
Fish wouldn't upset your stomach.
It must be me.
Mom went to the fish market early this morning to buy this.
Is this the carrot after the stick?
She should make me feel comfortable instead.
Why would you sulk like this?
What did I say?
Everything I do bothers you, right?
You don't like whatever I do...
since I started to meet my children.
- Did I say that? - Do you think I'm a joke...
because I try not to upset you without complaining?
What did I say? Why are you saying this?
Whatever happened, I raised your children for about 20 years...
abandoning my own children.
If you appreciate that even a little,
you shouldn't get angry because I met my children.
Shouldn't you be more cooperative?
What else do you expect me to do?
I'm not saying that I want you to do something for me.
I just want to see my children.
That's all I want.
I only want you to make me feel comfortable.
Am I asking too much?
If you keep going like this, I'll be really disappointed.
Fine. I understand. I'm sorry.
I'll get going.
You'll take lessons with a new group starting the week after next.
I said I don't want to study with kids I don't know.
Instead, you'll have a two weeks' holiday from today.
Are you serious? Can I skip all the classes from today?
You're not going to do even your school homework?
That's not what I meant. I'll definitely do that.
Promise me you'll study hard after that.
The other kids in that group are all elite students.
The tutor is very famous too.
Okay.
Can I really do whatever I want for the next two weeks?
What do you want to do?
You don't need to know.
- We'll get going. - We'll get going.
Have a nice day.
Well, she's...
- See you later. - See you.
Be safe and have a good day.
Maybe it's because of the heat.
He looks so haggard.
He must be tired from going on patrol.
The heat is almost unbearable.
I hope Tae Jin will get married soon.
Why doesn't a decent man like him have a girlfriend?
You know that he's not good at it just like me.
No. I wouldn't worry if he's just like you.
Mom, please.
Young people these days don't seem to have much interest in marriage.
As a matter of fact, who would marry their daughter off...
to a family like ours?
I won't live with them.
Will you let them live by themselves?
I asked my friends.
Those wenches said...
that Tae Jin is the best catch,
but my family is the worst to marry into.
I can't make my grandson the worst man to marry.
You made a right decision.
Tae Jin's future wife must be a wonderful woman...
seeing that she's making us wait so long.
I think so too.
Why me?
Officer Moo.
How did the car accident case go?
It didn't go well.
The victim was very persistent.
Right. Probably, the only way is to come to an agreement.
Yes.
How would you get all that money?
I'm going to take a loan for public servants.
A loan?
I looked into it, and I can get up to 40,000 dollars.
You'll have to spend most of your monthly salary to pay the loan.
However, helping your brother is more important now.
That's far from enough.
I know, but my mom and brother are also looking for a way.
Let's stop talking about this.
Everyone in my family is a warrior,
so you don't need to worry about me.
And from now on, I won't talk about my family.
Right,
you were brave enough to protest alone in front of the station.
I'm not worried.
Of course!
Would you like some water too?
I'll look into it too.
Look into what?
Taking out a loan. I can probably borrow up to 70,000 dollars.
You're making a mistake.
Did you think I'd thank you if you said that?
Would you be grateful if you were me?
Goong Hwa.
Why would I get money from you?
Does that make sense to you?
Are you trying to make me look shameless or what?
You know that's not my intention.
My family has never gotten help from anyone...
even when things were really tough.
We've gotten through everything on our own.
I understand where you're coming from,
but I really don't like what you just said.
I'm sorry. It was my mistake.
Then I'll pretend I never heard that.
If you make that kind of mistake again, I won't forgive you.
You look tired.
Are you here to pick up mails?
Yes. Why did you want to see me?
An all-purpose cooker salesman came by a little while ago.
He was looking for Su Hyuk, so I gave him his number.
But he called me, saying that he can't get a hold of him.
Are you talking about Mr. Koo?
Why would he call you?
He should've just called us directly.
It's not Mr. Koo. I think his sister took over the company.
He avoided us because he didn't want to pay us.
It didn't sound like it was about anything troublesome.
You should call them.
All right.
Su Hyuk probably hasn't called back because of the accident.
- I'll look into it. - Accident?
What accident?
He bumped into a car while driving.
Gosh, we haven't even gone on vacation,
but the dog days are already over.
I know, right?
Chief, we know you love us.
Shouldn't you take us out for ginseng chicken soup at least?
How about we go to Good Luck Chicken for fried chicken and beer?
Do you think Officer Moo would be able to have fun with us there?
She's acting all tough, but she's lost weight from all the stress.
What should we do to make sure she eats something nourishing?
Then let's just get it delivered so that it's not obvious.
- Shall we? - Yes.
That way, she'd be able to eat a drumstick at least.
Then I'll pick it up on my way back from patrol.
Yes, that'd be great.
Good for her. So many people care about her.
I'm going on patrol.
- Well... - Wait for Mr. Cha to get back.
It's not time for a shift handover yet.
You guys are getting fried chicken.
We should head out now and make rounds.
You're such a pro.
I'll see you guys later.
Wait up.
- See you in a bit. - See you.
I asked you to come by because I have a favor to ask you.
We should gather documents for the tax investigation in advance.
I've taken care of everything related to the real estate property,
- so you don't need to worry... - No.
I'm not talking about mine.
Are you talking about Chairman Jin's assets?
I heard he's moving everything that used to be under my name...
to under Do Hyun's name at the moment.
That's correct.
I bet problems are bound to come up in the process.
You know how he is.
He's meticulous when it comes to such things.
Many problems will arise if he wants to avoid the inheritance tax,
but he won't tell me about things like that.
I don't know much aside from legal matters.
Right, that must be the case.
- Have some tea. - Thank you.
You guys work so hard.
You should've just ordered over the phone. We could've delivered it.
It's okay.
Mr. Lee wanted us to get it to cheer Officer Moo up.
Why? Did something happen?
Her brother drove into an expensive imported car.
My gosh, the repair cost must be hefty.
It's crazy. It'll cost 140,000 dollars.
140,000 dollars?
- Is this true? - Yes.
Corporal Jang, I need to use the washroom.
I'm sorry, Eun Ju.
I didn't intend it, but I made a mistake.
It's okay. You didn't know.
By the way, didn't you say you have feelings for Tae Jin?
I know that he comes across as cold,
but he's tender-hearted toward the less fortunate.
He has spent a lot of time with Officer Moo as they're partners,
so he probably pities her knowing her circumstances.
I'm sure that's the case.
I thought that might be the case,
but how he was treating her earlier makes me think I should give up.
Well... Why do you say that?
It sounded like he was planning on taking out a loan.
A loan?
Why would he do that?
What does he need money for?
That can't be. Are you saying...
he's taking out a loan for Officer Moo?
My gosh, you're here again.
Did you decide to come every day?
I just thought I should stop by because I was in the area.
What's the problem? Was I supposed to report to you in advance?
I'm just too humiliated to face you.
Whatever, you brat.
Your doctor said you can go home. Why are you staying here?
Well, you know. I just want to get proper rest since I'm here anyway.
You better not get drunk and black out again.
Three strikes, you're out. You know that, right?
Dad, please.
You only have two more left. Don't forget that.
All right.
Dad. By the way, about Sewoon Construction...
Do they still use our money?
Why do you ask?
I was just wondering how things are in the construction industry.
- Are they doing well? - Gosh, don't even get me started.
Last month, they were practically begging me to lend them more money.
They can't even pay their interest on time.
They're trying to run the business solely with someone else's money.
If they keep it up, I might take all the money back from them...
and sell the building.
Really?
What's gotten into you? You never ask about things like this.
You hate dealing with complicated things.
I think I should become more interested in what you do.
Did being sick help you mature up or what?
Gosh, I'm surprised.
Spare me a second.
Who are you? Do I know you?
Seoul Corporation.
You must know Chairman Jin Dae Gab.
What do you want from me?
Hey!
Your car is fancier than mine.
And your dad's hobby is...
thoughtlessly expanding his business with my dad's money.
All you do is drive around in your expensive car.
Is your hobby showing off wealth you don't have and harassing people?
When did I...
- When did I do such a thing? - When?
You piece of... When? When?
I saw you causing a scene in the lobby here.
Gosh. I should've recorded a video and reported it to a news station.
I missed that chance.
How dare you tried to lie to me?
What is this all about?
What do you want from me?
What will you do after spending your deposit?
I'll ask my landlord to let us pay the rent monthly.
If that's not possible, we'll have to move to a new house.
Right. These days, people prefer to put up a house for monthly rent.
I hope we'll find someone to move in soon.
You did the right thing.
Your child is more important than money.
You're right. I wouldn't ruin my son's life...
just to keep this yearly rental house.
He's my precious son.
Speaking of which, you did a good job of raising your children.
I'm still busy taking care of my kids at my age.
I should find a job to lift a burden off my kids' shoulders.
Work at my store.
I won't work for you because you're stingy.
You pay your employees too little.
I'll give you the new minimum wage. 7 dollars and 53 cents per hour.
What? Forget it.
Where is all the money in the world?
Hey. Money isn't what kept us going.
It's our children that kept us going.
It's fine if your children are healthy.
You're right.
It tastes plain without sauce.
I should dip it in hot chili paste.
Stay here. I'll bring the sauce.
Seon Ok.
They say good things happen to good people eventually.
Cheer up.
Did being told off by me hurt your pride?
Yes, it hurt my pride.
You should've thought it through.
When people are desperate, they become aggressive.
You must be feeling better now.
You kept quiet the whole time during our patrol.
I stopped being angry a while ago.
I couldn't find the right time to make up with you.
I'm really sorry.
I overacted.
Why didn't you just hold my hands?
You looked so angry. You might've thrown me down.
I feel relieved because you're with me.
You once said...
that staying with someone in trouble can be very comforting.
I think it's true.
I've been having a hard time because of what happened,
but you give me the strength to go on.
One more thing.
You don't have to worry about my family anymore.
We decided to use our rent money.
Okay. I won't ask you again.
I'm relieved that you're cheerful.
Thank you for your consideration.
Let's go in. We should go home.
Okay.
Hello?
I'm Tae Jin's sister.
Yes. Please continue.
- Move. - Think again before you go.
I said, move!
Listen. This might back fire.
Didn't you hear that?
Tae Jin is going to take out a loan because of Officer Moo.
Exactly. That's how serious Tae Jin is about her.
- What? - If that's true,
he wants to do anything for her.
Most of all, it's not certain that he really is considering it.
It's thoughtless to do this just because you heard from someone else.
If Tae Jin finds out, he won't let it slide.
That wouldn't even be a problem.
What if Grandma finds out? Do you think Dad will approve of this?
Is it just me? The whole family would be against this.
He knows that. That's why he can't tell them.
I know. However...
What are you going to do when you meet Officer Moo?
What do you think I'll do?
I'll make her end it with him before she goes further.
Wait, Hee Jin.
Gosh. Seriously.
Father got remarried. Her mother appeared. Now Tae Jin is in love.
I can't seem to keep it together.
Goodness.
Hello.
Hello, my foot.
You know why I'm here, right?
(Lovers in Bloom)
You're the best, Mr. Tall.
I should set him up with someone. I'm so anxious.
He might be interested in someone.
It looks like Ju Young is moving to a new office.
I can't let you live with me.
I let you live in someone else's house.
I don't want to hear it. I said, leave!
Whoever she is, bring her home. I'll be on your side no matter what.
I hate the moms who forget that they have children.
I want you to reconsider it.
Mr. Cha, can we be freer in this relationship?
What do you mean by that?
