(Lovers in Bloom)
(Episode 76)
Don't be surprised.
What is this about?
I found out who Ms. Heo's son is.
Who is it?
It's Cha Tae Jin.
What?
- Who? Cha Tae Jin? - That's right.
Cha Tae Jin is Ms. Heo's son?
Honesty, I was surprised too.
The odds are in my favor.
Who knew I'd learn Ms. Heo's weakness?
She's going to sue for division of assets?
So she's going to take my money...
and give it to Cha Tae Jin?
What are you going to do?
What else can I do?
I'll put her in her place.
Sue? What a joke.
I'm going to take everything she has.
How are you going to take the things under her name?
I never said I'm going to court.
Since I know her weakness,
I'll go after that...
until she comes to me and begs for mercy.
Just wait and see. I'll make sure...
to put Cha Tae Jin in his place.
Find out everything about Ms. Heo's past,
starting from the reason she got divorced.
All right.
Dad.
- Here you go. - What is this?
They are tickets to a musical.
Why a musical all of a sudden?
Ms. Heo likes those kinds of things.
You should take her.
They're very expensive tickets.
You shouldn't have.
I gave Dad musical tickets, so go and enjoy it together.
I didn't expect you to do something like that.
I didn't either.
What can I do?
Bo Ra and I can get married and leave,
but all Dad has is you.
Is something going on with Dad nowadays?
I don't know.
I'm sure something is troubling him, but he won't tell me.
What could be the problem?
She really sent an e-mail.
Bo Ra sent the data through e-mail.
She must be busy.
Don't pretend you don't care.
- Ju Young. - I can tell.
I know you aren't over Bo Ra.
Are you happy she isn't here? Does that make you feel good?
Go home if you're going to say weird things.
(Here is the data on the cooker.)
You'll have to change the side dishes every day.
Add things like chive jeon and meatballs.
Of course. Even if you go to a restaurant,
you want something like seasoned fish cake or rolled omelet.
It doesn't feel like a good meal with only soup and light sides.
- You're right. - Of course.
Goong Hwa, you can take lunch boxes to the substation.
They're lucky.
They loved your food last time.
I heard you wanted to break up with the handsome police officer.
Mom.
I can't tell you anything.
Give him a break.
You must be going through a tough time,
but imagine what he must be going through.
You were lucky...
to meet such a decent single man.
How was she lucky?
Why would you say that? What's wrong with her?
I didn't say anything is wrong with her,
but I was just being honest.
You wouldn't be happy if Su Hyuk were in his situation.
Hey, go home if you're going to be obnoxious.
Stop it, Mom.
How could she say that?
I didn't mean ill.
I was just worried.
I don't need you to worry, so just go home.
I don't believe it.
Fine, I'll go home.
Wait.
- Let her go. - Let go of me.
I'm home.
Oh, my goodness.
What is with you, Mom?
She can say what's on her mind.
You're lucky that it doesn't bother you.
I don't know what to do with you.
You took the words out of my mouth.
I'm dying inside because of you.
I'm hungry.
I wonder if there's any leftover food at home.
I'll just bear with it.
- You must be hungry. - Goong Hwa.
Is Su Hyuk busy?
He probably has a lot on his mind,
not knowing what to do.
You seem to have a problem with your boss.
I wanted to butt heads with him,
but held it back.
What?
Actually, Bo Ra was at the office yesterday.
I think she mustered up the courage with the help of alcohol,
but he told her off in front of me.
What did he say?
Let me think.
He said he's sick and tired of her.
He said all kinds of things.
I wonder if he's the same Moo Su Hyuk I know.
I need to talk to you.
What is it this time?
Are we going at it again?
Yes, let's talk about it while we're at it.
If you can leave Woo Ri with me and leave,
you can continue dating Tae Jin.
Or else end it right now.
What is with you?
It upsets me whenever I hear something like that.
Ask anyone.
Everyone would have the same reaction.
So leave Woo Ri with me if you can't break up with him.
Or else be strong and break up with him.
Come on. Let go of me.
- It hurts. - Mrs. Cha.
What is going on this time?
Long time no see, Hyun Soo.
Hi, Mr. Kang.
What is going on?
I thought they were doing their homework,
but they snuck out and were at an Internet cafe.
How could you?
Hyun Soo, don't feel bad about what I'm going to say.
What are you planning to say?
Hae Chan has to study.
He doesn't have time to go to the Internet cafe with you.
- Mom. - Stop that.
Stop what?
You understand what I'm saying, don't you?
I'd appreciate it if you would stop contacting Hae Chan for now.
- Mom. - I understand.
Goodbye.
- Hyun Soo. - Where do you think you're going?
- Who are you to treat him badly? - What?
Why are you trying to control me?
Am I your pet dog or something?
Hae Chan! Kang Hae Chan!
I can't believe him. What's wrong with him?
I think it's you that causes more trouble every day.
I'm going to school.
- You should eat breakfast. - I don't want to.
Hae Chan.
How could you talk to your mom so rudely?
It's because he's going through puberty.
That can't be an excuse.
This is why you need to have good friends.
What? Did I say anything wrong?
Yesterday, I thought he was studying,
but he was out playing games.
Never hang with Hyun Soo again.
- What's wrong with Hyun Soo? - He doesn't even study.
- He's a bad influence... - Mom.
I'm a bad influence on him. He's not a bad influence on me.
This is ridiculous.
Hee Jin, why would you say such things to your child?
Did I say anything wrong?
Hae Chan has gotten weird since he met Hyun Soo.
To be honest, what could he have learned from his violent dad?
If you want to point that out, we grew up in a single parent family.
What?
Hae Chan seems very unhappy lately.
If you keep forcing him to study like that, he might go astray.
Are you saying he's going to become delinquent or what?
Tae Jin, you know our son would never become like that.
There's nothing wrong with Hae Chan.
Hee Jin, stop it.
He keeps talking as if Hae Chan is a delinquent.
He said that because he worries about Hae Chan.
Please don't try to do everything as you want.
If you keep pushing him like that, he could cause trouble.
That's true. I didn't know you would be so reckless like this.
- Hee Jin. - You know what I mean.
He makes everyone in this family walk on eggshells around him.
That's just ridiculous.
Hey. I'm going to take care of my own son.
So just worry about yourself.
There's nothing wrong about what she said.
Why didn't you say it more nicely?
It's not like they're strangers.
Hee Jin must be worried about Hae Chan very much.
- I'm sorry. - Just as Hee Jin said,
we all are walking on eggshells around you.
Choon Rae...
said that Officer Moo has decided to break up with you.
I told you that she would do that.
So, what are you going to do now?
You didn't decide to move to another division because of her, right?
I haven't changed my mind.
- Tae Jin. - See you later.
Choon Rae.
Can you get Officer Moo's phone number for me?
Why do you need it?
I think I should meet her.
What are you going to say to her?
(Chamsu-ri Substation)
It's nice.
It makes me feel a little better.
Is something bothering you?
I argued with my mom yesterday.
- Why? - It was nothing.
A daughter and a mom always quarrel over petty things.
When she nags me like that,
I think I would be better off alone with Woo Ri.
But when I think of moving out,
I realize that there's no one to look after Woo Ri while I'm at work.
You know our job has a lot of overtime and irregular hours.
I'm so selfish, right?
If my mom heard me, she'd be upset saying I said mean things...
when she worked so hard to help me raise Woo Ri.
So do as I said.
There's a vacant position in Busan.
If I go to Busan, I can move out naturally,
and my family won't stop me.
Mr. Cha.
It's going to be a long distance relationship, but it's not so bad.
I can't let you do that.
Stop being stubborn. Do as I say.
Both of you, come in to my office.
I called you two come in because I have something to tell you.
Please go ahead.
Do as you please when it comes to your private lives.
However, you shouldn't let that affect your duty.
The substation isn't a place for you to date.
I want you two keep your private and public life separate.
Especially you, Mr. Cha.
Even if Officer Moo gets emotional,
you shouldn't let her sway you!
I'm sorry.
I'll pretend I didn't get your requests for transfer.
You should know that.
Officer Moo, you don't have any problem with that, right?
No, sir.
Why did you ask for transfer and get scolded? I'm so upset.
Did you expect me to do nothing when you asked for transfer?
Would you have done it if you were me?
I think Mr. Lee is very angry.
I'm sure he's just worried about us.
Don't worry about him too much.
I'm only making people around me worry.
I made you hear that you should keep private and public matters separate.
He's right.
Mr. Cha.
Mr. Cha, Detective Han came to see you again.
Okay.
Detective Han comes here quite often lately.
Officer Moo, do you know what it's about?
No, I don't.
My goodness.
How did it go? Did you find out anything else?
It's funny how it's going.
I told you that Mole, the witness of the drug case,
works for Chairman Jin, right?
Chairman Jin and Senior Inspector Hwang has been meeting secretly.
Are you sure?
Senior Inspector Hwang tried so hard to cover up the drug case.
It's a bit strange to call it a coincidence, don't you think?
Did you also find out how long they've worked together?
Not yet.
I'm sure that Senior Inspector Hwang left no evidence against him.
I think you can find something if you dig up things on Chairman Jin.
- Please come. - Hey.
- Come on. - What is with you?
I have something to tell you. Please sit down briefly.
She'll be here any minute.
You gave me the tickets to the musical.
You still have some time.
She can wait in your office.
Are you afraid she might run away or something?
All right.
What is it?
It seems that Ms. Heo is having trouble...
because of the tenant in her building in Ilsan.
I'll solve the problem completely today.
Tell Ms. Heo that it was you that took care of it.
Gosh. What has gotten into you? How did you think of that idea?
I just want to help you.
Also,
let's send Bo Ra abroad.
Why all of a sudden?
No way. Is she meeting him again?
No, it's not that. You always jump to conclusions.
Then, why?
Well, I think it'll help her forget about him and move on...
if she lives overseas for a while.
You know how they say, "Out of sight, out of mind."
I know, but what if she never comes back?
Don't worry. I'll bring her home when she's stable.
That arrogant jerk.
If he shows up in front of Bo Ra just one more time,
I'll make him regret it.
That won't happen, so don't worry.
Don't stop her if she wants to go.
Okay?
Fine.
Hi, Ms. Heo.
I haven't seen you for a while.
Where's the chairman?
I just got here with some documents for him to sign.
Leave it there. I'll tell him to sign them.
Yes, ma'am.
Do you have something to say to me?
I think you should be careful.
What do you mean?
You were quite thoughtful of me in the past,
and I couldn't turn a blind eye.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
You already know that...
Chairman Jin has invested money almost everywhere in Seoul.
Do you think you can keep a secret from him?
You're here.
Where were you?
I had to talk to Do Hyun.
- What is it? - I'm here with some papers.
- I left them on your desk. - Okay.
What are you waiting for? We're going to be late.
Did you see Ms. Heo?
Yes, I did what you told me to.
I told her Chairman Jin knows everything she's doing.
She seemed nervous.
All right.
Senior Inspector Hwang, this is Jin Do Hyun.
Are you free tomorrow?
I've finally finished a dish.
Cooking includes plating the food nicely...
and serving it to a table.
Come on in.
Hi.
What are you doing here, Officer Moo?
Hi.
You must be taking cooking classes.
Yes, men that cook are popular nowadays.
I'll wait at the cafe downstairs.
It's okay, the class is over.
The teacher says the class is over.
- Bye. - Bye.
I didn't interrupt the class, did I?
Not at all.
I heard you went to see Su Hyuk that day.
- Yes. - Ju Young seemed upset.
That must indicate Su Hyuk was mean to you.
I told you to beat him up if he's mean to you.
I wanted to,
but I realized Su Hyuk was in more pain than I am.
Bo Ra.
I had no idea...
and was in a delusion that he'd accept me if I had the courage.
I was being selfish,
and I feel sorry and upset about it.
Su Hyuk is in pain after treating you like that.
I know.
I used to think about him while cooking here every day.
I always thought about the food he liked...
and wonder if he'd like whatever I'm making.
But I don't think I can do that any longer.
Why are you saying that?
You don't have to know.
Anyway, I tried my best, and I have no regrets.
Now I know what to do.
So don't worry too much.
What brings you here?
I thought we might go home together.
You came an hour out of your way just to go home with me?
Do you have something to say to me?
Is it about Tae Jin?
I just met Bo Ra.
Why did you go see her?
I think she's leaving.
Is that okay?
What do you mean?
You might let the most important person in your life slip away.
Are you okay with that?
You know you're putting your nose where it doesn't belong, right?
The fact that you're getting upset means you have feelings for her.
- Goong Hwa. - What?
Was I right on point?
What about you?
Why are you running away from Tae Jin with all you have?
Su Hyuk, listen to me.
If I didn't have Woo Ri...
and the only problem were me being from a poor family,
I wouldn't act like you.
I'd do whatever it takes to hold onto her.
I really wish you could be more honest with yourself.
Act like the smart brother you are.
Did you have fun?
It was quite interesting and touching.
You seem moved by it.
Did you like it, Ms. Heo?
Yes, it was nice.
You weren't even paying attention the entire time.
What are you talking about?
I heard good reviews about it.
You mustn't have liked it.
Honestly, it didn't fit my taste.
It was too cheesy.
Do Hyun suggested sending you abroad.
I'll make a decision on my own.
Is something wrong?
What's with you all day?
What do you mean?
You love musicals,
but you didn't seem interested at all today.
Do Hyun put in a lot of thought to buy those tickets.
I told him I enjoyed it.
I took care of the building in Ilsan.
What? When did you do that?
While we were watching the musical,
I had my employees get rid of all the tenants.
You won't have to meet the lawyer any longer.
Hello.
Hi, this is Tae Jin's dad.
Oh, hello.
I'd like to meet you.
Do you have time tomorrow?
Okay, I'll see you tomorrow.
- Hi. - Hi.
Dad.
Yes, what is it?
It's about Chairman Jin of Seoul Corporation.
What about him?
One of my colleagues is looking into the company,
and I was wondering if you knew anything about him.
How would I when I only worked for him for a few months?
Okay. Good night.
This really makes you look like you're starting something.
I'll take the ones over here.
You win over the people at the market.
I'll talk to everyone at the substation and the police station.
That'll be heavy.
That isn't a problem.
We can make money,
and the people at the substation get delicious food.
We'll be killing two birds with one stone.
See you later.
I shouldn't have said anything.
She must have even more things going on in her mind.
What do you think? It's tasty and nice, right?
Stop beating around the bush.
Just tell me why you wanted to see me.
This is what I like about you.
You never hold back, and you're decisive.
Is this about Cha Tae Jin?
Since you got to the point like that,
I feel nervous.
Inspector Cha isn't someone you should worry about.
He'll never get to come back to his position.
What makes you so sure about that?
You said he's competent.
He's competent, but he doesn't know how to work with others.
What's the point of being smart?
He has a flaw that he can't get rid of.
His birth mom.
She's Cha Tae Jin's biggest flaw.
I don't know what you mean.
I think it's been about 20 years.
His birth mom went to prison for real estate fraud.
She even got arrested in her husband's jurisdiction.
There was a rumor about her having an affair too.
There was a big commotion at the police station because of that.
Cha Tae Jin's father was a police officer too. He's Cha Sang Chul.
His father almost lost his job,
but he was transferred to another police station instead.
However, he didn't get promoted fairly until he retired.
No matter how smart Cha Tae Jin is, what could he do?
His parents caused the scandal that disgraced the police.
People tend to remember a case like that for a long time.
- Please enjoy. - This is great.
We have so many different side dishes.
Just like your mother, her lunch box...
is so neat.
Officer Moo, all of these are my favorite.
Is there any food you don't like, Officer Choi?
By the way, where is your mother's lunch box store?
She cooks at home,
and her friend will sell them at her store.
- At the market near here? - Yes.
It'd be nice to win over people at the market. Word would spread soon.
I hope so.
If you need some more food, please have this.
Officer Moo, aren't you going to eat with us?
No. I have to step out to meet someone.
Enjoy your lunch, everyone.
- It's so delicious. - Thank you for the food.
- Enjoy. - Good luck.
The meat is so good.
She's such a good cook.
Excuse me.
- Are you talking to me? - Let me check your phone please.
- Why? - I'm Officer Moo Goong Hwa.
You just took a photo of the lady in front of you, didn't you?
No. I didn't do anything.
This is you, isn't it?
We don't check an innocent person without a reasonable suspicion.
You're really brave...
seeing that you dared to hit a police officer.
Let go of me!
(Lovers in Bloom)
I met her today.
- What did you say to her? - I'm doing this for your sake.
I understand what you mean.
How much money do you earn here?
Do you think everyone in this world is like you?
- Don't say a word from this moment. - Honey.
You must've loved your ex-husband.
- Your love story is so touching. - Stop it.
He was the precious person to me.
- What do you think? - I like you very much...
as a woman.
