(Episode 77)
What kind of sports do you do?
You seem to use your body well.
I box.
I see. That's nice.
When did you graduate the police academy?
I was in the class of the 289th graduates.
I'm your senior by many years.
It's called the police academy now,
but when I was there, it was called the Police Comprehensive Academy.
I heard you were a police officer.
I didn't know such a young junior would cause me such trouble.
I heard Tae Jin...
asked for a transfer because of you.
I'm sorry.
I heard you wanted to break up with him,
I wanted to meet you...
and ask if you really meant it.
Can I be honest with you?
Of course.
I have strong feelings for him.
So I want to try to make this work.
If you allow us to,
I'll do my best to show you how happy we are together.
I'm confident we can be.
Tae Jin says he likes you because he knows...
you're the type of person who won't give up on your child.
Tae Jin...
grew up without a mom because I got divorced.
I think he admires your maternal love.
Don't you think that's sympathy, not love?
I looked back at my life after hearing Tae Jin say that.
I started off on the wrong foot...
and took the long way here,
but I want Tae Jin...
to make the right decision.
I want him to live a life of no regrets.
He deserves that kind of life.
I understand.
If the first step is marriage,
I don't want Tae Jin...
to marry someone with flaws.
Since you have a child,
I believe you understand how I feel.
If I crossed the line,
I'll apologize.
I understand what you're saying.
I'll think about it.
That's Officer Moo.
- It's impressive. - You're right.
- How can she be so... - Here she comes.
Give her a hand.
- Officer Moo. - Officer Moo.
- What is going on? - You said you had lunch plans.
I heard you caught a man secretly taking pictures of women.
Yes.
How did that happen?
I just happened to see him.
I can see that wherever Officer Moo is,
there are always incidents and crimes.
He was saying he didn't take pictures of their bodies,
but only the backs of women...
and asked why that is a problem. He was so shameless.
It happened to me once too.
It was so creepy.
Who did that?
Did you let him get away with it?
Why are you overreacting?
How did you catch him by yourself?
Someone passing by called the police and helped me.
It would've been hard to catch him if it weren't for the citizen.
He's a very brave citizen.
We meet people like him unexpectedly while working.
People like him make us love our job too.
I'm thirsty.
I'll go drink some water.
- Okay. - Go ahead.
Have two cups of water.
Are you hurt anywhere?
No, I'm not.
It reminded me of the time when we caught the motorcycle thief.
If you're not injured, I'm relieved.
You did a good job.
I haven't heard that for a while.
I...
have been hating myself for making you worry lately.
To be honest,
I don't like it when you treat me only as your girlfriend.
What I mean is that I want to become a good police officer.
I get it.
So you don't need to make it clear every time you see me.
What's wrong?
This one is chipped.
I'll just use this one.
They say that chipped cups bring bad luck.
Should we throw it away because of a small flaw?
It's not that it's leaking. It's a waste.
My grandmother throws a fit when a chipped plate is on the table.
My family members cherish even chipped plates,
and use them until they're crushed.
You seem a little cranky.
Anyway, this is my cup from now on, so don't use it.
- Hey. You're early. - Yes.
I saw Officer Moo at Bo Ra's office.
Did you?
Could it be that Bo Ra is seeing Moo Su Hyuk again?
Don't worry. We're sending her abroad.
Abroad?
I think she needs some time, so I'll send her abroad.
I don't want her to be in the mess.
Yes, Ms. Heo.
Yes, it's fine.
Yes. I'll see you there. Bye.
I'll get going.
I heard you've been learning to cook from Bo Ra.
Yes, that's right.
You were disappointed before, right?
I said that only because...
- you need to win her heart first. - Please get to the point.
I'll be in trouble if Chairman Jin knows I met you alone.
I feel disappointed since you talk like that.
You know how Chairman Jin is.
You know he would make me lose my job as a lawyer.
What did you mean last time?
You said that Chairman Jin probably knows everything.
Even I heard the rumor that you're looking into the lawsuit.
- Wouldn't Chairman Jin know that? - Is that so?
Anyway, I think you better not stand against Chairman Jin.
You have no chance to win the fight against him.
Why do you think Chairman Jin has been meeting...
people in the legal field and helping them?
I'm sorry that I can't be any help to you.
I'll get going now.
Do Hyun suggested we should send Bo Ra abroad.
What do you think?
- Send Bo Ra abroad? - Yes.
He said she should go on a trip to clear her mind.
That's a good idea.
I was thinking the same thing.
It looks like she hasn't gotten over...
Ms. Lee's son.
Gosh. She's not in her right mind.
Why does she like a man like him?
She seemed to be okay.
I thought she had forgotten him.
It's not easy to forget a person.
She dated him knowing that he's our housekeeper's son.
That's how much she liked him.
She takes up all jobs she can,
and has a drink often.
What do you think the reason is?
That brat.
Are you still not over that jerk? Is it true?
- Dad. - Honey.
Go to the US immediately.
I'll make my own decision.
You chose that penniless man out of all men around you?
I'm too embarrassed to talk about you when I meet other people!
Don't talk like that.
How could you speak ill of him when you know nothing about him?
What? What did you just say?
Bo Ra.
Do you think he really likes you?
What he likes is my money!
Do you think everyone in this world like you?
What does that mean?
What he hates the most is loan sharks.
I was always in fear that he would find out about your business!
How dare you?
You may be embarrassed that I like a poor man,
I'm more embarrassed of you, who does anything for money.
What did you say? You're embarrassed of me?
Bo Ra!
That's enough!
Come with me.
- Honey, are you all right? - Shut your mouth!
Honey.
Don't say a word from this moment.
Don't even pretend that you care about me!
When I think of how I led my life...
My wife and kids...
Are you out of your mind?
Even though you were angry, you shouldn't have crossed the line.
Even if everyone in the world speaks ill of Dad, you and I!
Don't you know we shouldn't do that?
Even though you like Moo Su Hyuk,
how dare you said such a thing to Dad?
Leave tomorrow.
Fine. I'll leave.
I don't want to live in this house anymore.
I see.
Are you saying that you can't...
keep up the pace because of Hae Chan?
I had no idea.
I'm sorry, Teacher.
You said you'd ask how he's getting along with the other students.
All you did was let the tutor lecture you.
What else could I have done?
They can't move on to the next chapter because of Hae Chan.
Why did you sigh like that?
I sighed because you're clueless.
The progress isn't the problem.
Why did you do that to Hyun Soo?
Hae Chan must've been really apologetic to him.
You know why I did it.
I did it because he kept calling Hae Chan out to play games.
Who said it was his idea?
Hae Chan said he asked Hyun Soo to go with him.
Do you believe that?
What's wrong with you?
I don't know. Am I doing this for my own sake?
I'm doing this for his sake.
So he can lead a good life when he grows up.
You're right. This...
is all because I couldn't give you a good life.
My goodness.
I'm home.
Come in and have some fruit.
Good night.
I don't know if we should leave him like that.
He'll be okay once he overcomes this.
He's born with a good heart.
It's not that I have many children.
There isn't a single day that I don't feel uneasy.
Tae Jin doesn't come to see me often lately.
Baek Ho.
You're home.
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that in front of you and Hee Jin.
I know that you said that because you worry about us.
Hee Jin went inside to talk to Hae Chan,
but I'm not sure she can convince him.
I saw him looking away.
By the way, why did he join a different group?
I think that's why Hae Chan is acting like that.
Well...
In fact,
Your mother...
introduced him to that group lesson.
- What? - They're all smart students...
and the teacher is supposed to be one of the best.
We don't even know how to get him into those groups.
Honestly, we can't even afford to pay for it either.
Mother said she'd take care of it,
so I turned a blind eye and didn't say anything.
Baek Ho.
You know I can't make Hee Jin change her mind.
Tae Jin, wait.
Did you hear?
- Hae Chan has bad grades. - Are you sure?
Tell us.
- How did he get in the group? - Maybe he lied.
- No, I didn't. - Then how did you get in?
I think his mom lied to the teacher.
He and his mom must both be liars.
Who is that?
You don't have to know.
- It's Hyun Soo, isn't it? - Mom.
Would I say this without reason?
I'm worried you might make the wrong friends and...
I'm the wrong friend, not Hyun Soo.
I was the one who talked him into going to the Internet cafe.
Regardless, don't hang out with him.
Do you know how much you've changed after hanging out with him?
Get out of my room.
Did you tell me to get out?
- Kang Hae Chan. - You want me to study.
You're distracting me, so leave.
- Are you out of your mind? - What?
Are you letting that woman decide which tutor Hae Chan should go to?
Tae Jin, the thing is...
I'm warning you, don't let her come close to our house.
I can't stand seeing her around the house.
- She's miserable too. - What?
She said she wants to be the mother she never was,
and I felt tears come to my eyes.
Be a mother?
Who says she gets to? She doesn't deserve that chance.
She's still our mother.
She gave birth to you and me.
Is that the only thing you remember?
Have you forgotten that she abandoned us?
Tae Jin.
It's been 20 years since she disappeared.
She never came to us in those 20 years.
How dare she call herself a mother.
Could you do that to Hae Chan?
It wasn't easy for me to accept her in the beginning either.
- But what happened? - I don't know.
The more I see her, I realize she's still my mother.
What can I do?
It must be nice to have money.
What do you mean by that?
You hated her more than I did as we were growing up.
Why did you change your mind all of a sudden?
Isn't it because of her money?
How could you say that?
Go and tell her...
not to even dream about being a mother to us.
I'm home.
You're home early.
Where is Woo Ri?
She seemed tired and is sleeping.
She played on her bike all day.
Mom, your food was amazing.
Everyone loved it.
That's a relief.
Did you sell a lot?
Just a little.
It can't be that easy from the start.
It'll pick up.
Another team already heard about it and asked for it as well.
I'm home.
Where's Su Hyuk?
He's busy working.
Then he should've stayed to help Su Hyuk out.
Mom.
What? Can't I say what's on my mind?
I made Su Hyuk's favorite beef and seaweed soup.
Don't worry. I'll enjoy it for him.
My goodness.
Haven't you still made up with Su Hyuk?
There's nothing to make up about.
He doesn't want to see me and I don't want to see him either.
Aren't you being too hard on your boss?
I want to quit, but am holding myself back.
You know your stepfather.
Is he good to you?
Yes, I've only met him a few times,
but he seems nice.
He's warm, affectionate...
and good to my mom.
It seemed like he was.
Come out and have dinner.
You know Mom doesn't like it when the food gets cold.
Okay.
Why aren't you sleeping yet?
I was thirsty.
Good night.
I...
- met her today. - Dad.
Didn't she tell you?
What did you say to her?
I told her to break up with you.
Have I ever...
made a mistake and disappointed you as I was growing up?
Tae Jin.
You could've trusted my decision and watched what happens.
Did you have to upset someone who is already having a hard time?
That's why you should've stopped being so stubborn.
Out of all people,
I thought you would be on my side.
You went through something similar,
so I thought you'd understand me.
Look, I'm not doing this for myself.
Is this for me then? Even if I'm suffering?
I won't change my mind.
I won't break up with her for anything.
I won't let her go even if she tries to leave me.
Tae Jin.
(Studio Office)
What brings you here?
You go out.
Wait outside.
How much do you make here?
Look at this.
Do you make enough to cover the utility fees?
You call this an office...
and look for love?
What are you here to say?
You can't be with my daughter...
even if the world comes to an end.
I hate poverty.
So I won't have my children...
marry someone poor.
Do you know what I've gone through?
I was determined...
not to let my children experience poverty...
and did the dirty work of the world to make it this far.
How dare you try to drag...
my daughter back into poverty?
When it comes to my children,
there's nothing I wouldn't do.
Slapping you in the face in front of your mom?
That was nothing.
If you aren't determined to die,
don't ever meet my daughter again.
Do you hear me?
Come on.
Why did you go there?
He won't do anything foolish if I scare him.
So did you turn his office upside down?
There was nothing to turn upside down. All he has are desks.
It won't do you any good by upsetting Bo Ra.
What if she finds out about this?
She'll run straight to him.
Do you think she'll know you did this for her?
You frustrate me.
You should be calming her down.
How are you going to solve this by rattling her?
I'll take care of this,
so please don't butt into Bo Ra's affairs anymore.
My goodness.
How did Ms. Heo react?
I've never seen her that baffled before.
What are you going to do now?
I'm going to make her realize...
how big of a mistake she has made.
Dad allowed her to see her children despite his personality.
He yielded a lot to her.
How dare she backstab him?
As you must know, Ms. Heo isn't easy to deal with.
She wouldn't just wait until you attack her.
That's pointless...
when she has a child whom she can't handle.
What's your plan?
I'll surprise her...
so she can come to her senses.
I heard you met my dad yesterday.
Why didn't you tell me?
You didn't tell me when you met my mom either.
Did you expect me to tell on him?
Yes, do that, at least.
That'd be better than making me irresponsible.
We're back.
- We're back. - Good job.
I was starving.
What's wrong with him? He's hungry all the time.
It's not like you don't eat every day.
You eat because you're hungry.
Just pour hot water in the noodles.
Okay.
Oh, right. I ran into Corporal Choi at the police station.
You know Corporal Choi Kyung Soo, right?
Corporal Choi is in Seoul?
I heard he was working in Hamyang.
He seemed to have come to take care of something.
I haven't seen him for a long time.
It looks like you know him well.
He said he was close friends with Officer Moo's ex-husband.
That's right.
They were best friends.
He said that you were great, Officer Moo.
- What do you mean? - Corporal Choi told us...
your love story.
It was so touching.
It was, indeed. I bet you liked your ex-husband so much.
Of course, I did. That's why I married him.
Her ex-husband said to wait until he settles,
but Officer Moo convinced him to get married right away.
Officer Moo, you never give up.
Stop it.
It's sad that he passed away too early,
but honestly, I envy him.
Me too. I wonder when I'll find a love like that.
That's what I was talking about.
There are many times...
men hope that the woman they love...
will hold on to them.
Why are you looking at me? Stop it.
Why can't I look at what I want to see with my own eyes?
I guess you liked Woo Ri's dad very much.
You gave up on me so easily.
Of course, I did.
He's Woo Ri's dad.
Why are you saying that to me?
What do you want me to say?
Do you want me to say...
that I completely forgot the past after I met you?
You're right. He...
was the most precious person to me.
Don't you know why I said that?
I know, but you also know...
why I can't muster up courage.
Can't you...
muster up courage again for me?
I'll see you tomorrow.
- Hello? - It's Jin Do Hyun.
I'd like to see you briefly.
What is this about?
I have something to tell you regarding Su Hyuk.
I think my dad went to see Su Hyuk.
I'm here because I was worried...
something bad might've happened.
He didn't say anything to me.
That's a relief.
Your father...
must be worried my brother and Bo Ra might get back together.
- What do you think? - About what?
I think my brother and Bo Ra still like each other very much.
If they get back together,
I wonder you would also be against it.
That's a difficult question.
If Bo Ra gets back together with Su Hyuk,
that means I have less chance with you.
- Mr. Jin. - I asked you to be my friend,
but you don't think I really want to be your friend, do you?
I like you very much as a woman.
So, you'd disapprove of him?
Do you really want them to be a couple?
I think you must hate my family.
I just want to know what you think.
If their getting back together...
makes you happy,
I can accept that.
How you feel matters the most to me.
Hello, Inspector Cha Tae Jin.
(Lovers in Bloom)
- What do you want to tell me? - My health checkup result.
I had health checkup not long ago.
I'm sorry for being immature.
Thank you very much for raising me.
Why are you acting as if you will never come back? I feel so weird.
Officer Moo, I guess you're much bolder than I thought.
You're in an unusual circumstance.
Why are you worried all of a sudden?
I should at least warn Ms. Heo who has her agenda.
What brings you here, Grandmother?
You. You are...
It's been a while, Mother.
