(Lovers in Bloom)
(Episode 90)
Why did you come out? It's quite cold outside at night.
Let's go inside.
I hope Woo Ri will like this.
- Actually... - What is it?
Mr. Jin is in my house now.
I'm sorry.
He came as Bo Ra's brother today.
I can't just send him back.
All right.
You can understand me, right?
Whatever the reason is, you meant that I should go back.
Mr. Cha.
I get it.
What did Ms. Na say?
She was excited to receive so much meat and fruits.
How does Mom seem to be feeling?
She's fine.
What about Woo Ri?
She was probably tired. She's sleeping sound.
Woo Ri seemed to like Do Hyun very much.
And Do Hyun seemed very affectionate to Woo Ri as well.
To be honest, I was very surprised.
I guess you heard that.
Should I be worried?
Nonsense. No, it's not like that.
I know that you'll handle it wisely,
but frankly, it worries me.
He's like our family now.
I'll take care of it myself, so just go to your wife.
And make sure you tell her that I'm grateful to her.
Okay.
Here we go.
What are you doing?
My treat for you.
Thank you for what you did today.
I didn't do much.
That's not true. You practically did everything.
This is what upsets mothers-in-law. Do you know that?
Did I make a mistake again?
At least Do Hyun visited us and talked with us.
That made me feel like I could finally breathe.
My dad will also forgive us some day,
and we'll put our minds at ease, right?
I prepared a drink for you because I thought you were craving it.
My daughter is better than my son.
Su Hyuk seemed to have no clue.
Of course, he has no clue. Did you realize that now?
Have just one drink, and go to bed, okay?
Maybe it's that I'm foolish.
Other people would be happy to have rich in-laws.
When I saw Do Hyun bringing all those foods, I was offended.
It made me wonder if he thought we starve here.
I don't know why I feel so uneasy.
That's because you're upset about Bo Ra's parents.
Even so, try to forget that for Su Hyuk.
Bo Ra is so sweet to you.
I didn't give her a hard time.
This is why they say a son pays less attention after he gets married.
Gosh. Mom, please don't say such things.
He just got married. That's just normal for him now.
By the way, why did you step out again before?
Did Tae Jin come here by any chance?
Yes, he came to give Woo Ri a gift.
And you sent him back?
What choice did I have? Mr. Jin was in our house.
It's not like I could've just sent Bo Ra's brother home.
(Officer Moo Goong Hwa)
Why didn't you answer my calls last night?
Goodness. September is almost over.
After Chuseok next week, this year will be over very soon.
We'll be busier during the holidays preventing crimes.
Mr. Lee, you'll be visiting your hometown. You must be excited.
Not really. I used to be excited when my mom was healthy.
I'll only visit her at the nursing home.
I'm not even excited to visit my hometown.
How is your mother's condition?
Some days are good, and some days are bad.
I miss the times when I ate the rice cakes my mom made.
I prefer working at the substation.
When I'm home, I have to work in the kitchen all day long,
and all my relatives nag me to get married soon.
Isn't it much better to be nagged than dealing with drunken people?
You think that way because you're a man.
Pre-holiday stress is a serious problem for women.
Isn't that right, Officer Moo?
Well, yes.
Mr. Cha's family must have a hectic holiday as a head family.
- Well, yes. - Oh, my.
You two even answer the same.
No wonder you guys are partners.
Anyway, Chuseok, one of the biggest holidays,
is around the corner, everyone.
As it's a long holiday this year, next week will be...
a very busy and exhausting week for us.
But let's increase patrols so we can spend the holidays...
without a serious incident.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Mr. Cha, Senior Inspector Hwang wants to see you this afternoon.
Yes, sir.
Report to me when you're back.
Yes, I will.
- I'm home. - Come here, and sit down.
What is it?
Have you...
been seeing your ex-wife recently?
- Pardon? - I guess you have.
Of course Choon Rae wouldn't have made up things.
I met her only 1 or 2 times to discuss about our children.
You should've told Choon Rae.
Why did you meet her in secret...
as if there was a reason you had to keep it a secret?
I just didn't want to make Choon Rae worry.
It's not like she would've been glad to hear that.
All the more reason to tell her.
You met your ex-wife without telling Choon Rae.
What kind of wife would like that?
Can I see you for a moment now?
You're home.
I'm almost done preparing lunch. Just give me a moment.
Come to our bedroom.
I heard...
I heard you said that you're upset because I saw my ex-wife.
- Yes. - If that was the case,
you should've told me about it. Why did you make my mom worry?
- Sang Chul. - Why?
Were you worried that I might do something inappropriate with her?
Shouldn't you know me better?
There was obviously a reason why I couldn't tell you.
You could've tried to be more understanding.
Why are you looking at me like that?
These days,
I think about Ju Young whenever I'm in the kitchen to make food.
I wonder what I'm doing here because I can't even live with my son.
I never thought...
I'd think about these things while living with you.
You can visit Ju Young...
without telling me.
But if you had to meet your ex-wife,
you had to be honest with me even if it was hard for you.
I just wanted you to be a little more considerate like that.
That's really all I ever wanted.
Was it too much to ask?
Choon Rae.
You know, I've been doing my very best.
But these days, I feel like it's all useless.
Choon Rae, that's...
Stop sighing already.
Hey, shall I tell you something exciting?
Hae Chan made me a sandwich yesterday.
- Are you serious? - Yes.
He's still not talking,
but what's important is that he responded to what I said to him.
Gosh. I must say that he has been holding back enough.
Let's be glad that it blew up now and not any later.
There's no going back when someone patient loses it, you know.
I mean, look at Tae Jin.
By the way, I think Tae Jin is planning to get married.
What?
He says he already told Father that he wants to get married.
I think being against it is pointless.
It looks like he's really made up his mind.
Father isn't saying anything about it either.
It's probably because he doesn't think he can stop Tae Jin anymore.
What is it? Why did you want to see me?
I'm busy.
You don't look so well.
Did you ask me to come all the way here to say that?
- Hee Jin. - I'll leave if we're done.
I'll end it with him.
After all this time?
I have nothing to say even if you guys can't believe me,
but I was going to end it with him anyway.
Let me ask you one thing since you brought it up.
What's the reason?
Why have you been living like that?
Because our relationship started out under the condition...
that we won't get married.
After breaking up with your dad like that,
I told myself that I'd never marry anyone again for my entire life.
But I basically ended up shooting myself in the foot.
I'm serious. I'll really end it with him.
If I had known this would happen,
I would have ended it with him before meeting you guys again.
Will you be okay though?
They seem like scary people judging from how they vandalized my place.
Don't worry. I won't let them walk all over me like an idiot.
How's Tae Jin doing?
About Tae Jin...
It looks like he has really made up his mind to marry Officer Moo.
What?
I guess he can't live without her.
But... Will you just sit back and let him marry that girl?
None of us can even say anything to him after what went down with you.
What brings you here?
They told me to come in as a referential witness.
It looks like you did some investigation...
on the fried chicken restaurant incident.
What should I do?
If I were to be truthful,
I have to talk about Ms. Heo trying to take my assets...
and give them to you.
I only did what I did because I was extremely exasperated.
I'll have to say all of that.
Will you be okay if I say all that?
I had no idea that she was such an impressive person.
Having criminal records, including fraud charges, is one thing.
She was even involved in a scandal.
What do you say? Shall I remind people once again?
Will you be able to handle it?
So listen, Cha Tae Jin.
You better not act up.
My patience has its limits too.
All right.
Bring it on.
What can you do?
Ripping off the poor just like what your father has done?
Or using your innate talent in abusing others?
Go ahead, and try all you want.
I'll show you what the consequences are.
I must say, you're always so feisty.
But the problem is that you're too gutsy for your own good.
Hello?
It's been a long time.
Indeed.
So in the end, we meet again like this.
It seems so.
- What kind of tea would you like? - It's okay.
But why did you want to see me?
Please take good care of Bo Ra, Ms. Lee.
I'm sure you figured it out by now.
My family's situation is quite special,
so Bo Ra had a hard time growing up.
Just before she left home, she told me...
that she wanted to be free.
My heart ached so much when I heard that.
That being said, I'd like to ask you for a favor.
Could you let them move out?
Well, I'd love to buy them an apartment,
but I'm worried that my husband might get mad at me,
and you won't be comfortable with it either.
Bo Ra has some savings, so it'd be nice to let them...
rent a small apartment and live there on their own.
All right. I'll think about it.
I'll get going if we're done.
And... You know, right?
Do Hyun likes your daughter.
That's another reason why I wanted to see you today.
My husband is already so angry. I'm worried...
about what he might do if he finds out about it.
And I also wanted to know how Officer Moo thinks about him.
Please don't worry.
My daughter likes someone else.
He's her co-worker at the substation.
His family doesn't approve of her as he's never been married before,
but he said he absolutely can't break up with Goong Hwa...
and asked us to give him a bit more time.
So please just console Do Hyun,
and make sure he can give up his feelings for Goong Hwa.
You don't need to worry about us at all.
You still haven't given up the habit of biting anyone who comes your way.
Did you summon me to say that you want to bury Mr. Jin's case?
No.
He'll just get fined.
You're the one who will be most affected by it.
As your superior, I can't just sit back and watch.
Sir.
You know...
with whom your mother lives now, right?
You'll naturally dig up dirt on your mother if you're after Chairman Jin.
What do you say? Shall we get Jin Do Hyun?
Is that what you want?
If so, I will give you my support.
Don't go overboard.
You'll only remind everyone of your mother's scandal.
If your mother's past...
and her current life are revealed,
do you think you will be able to survive in this organization?
What happened to your mother isn't just about you.
It's a disgrace to the entire police force.
(Officer Moo Goong Hwa)
What do you think, Ju Young?
Well, I think she's cute.
She's one of my students. She works at a large company,
and she has such a good personality.
I don't think she would like a man like me.
She said she likes you.
I showed her your photo.
She said you're very cute.
I'm not a puppy. Why did she call me cute?
Show me.
Oh, my. She has a pretty face and a nice body.
She's quite glamorous and tall.
She looks great. Why don't you meet her?
Su Hyuk, stop it.
Hey, I would meet her right now if I were you.
I didn't know you liked glamorous women.
Tall and lean women.
What? No, that's not what I mean...
Gosh. You're just so slow-witted.
I gave you signals, but you kept digging your own grave.
I was wrong. I thought I was your ideal type.
I bet your ideal type is a sexy woman.
- Bo Ra, that's not what I meant. - Listen.
Su Hyuk was just trying to talk me into meeting her.
Would he have said that because he thought she's pretty?
Exactly.
Having that said, I can't say that he didn't like glamorous women.
My gosh. You're unbelievable.
Hey, where are you going?
What are you doing?
I'm working. You told me to finish sorting the data quickly.
Why don't we have a cup of coffee before we start working?
Go away. I have to work.
Why would you do this to someone who is not a glamorous woman?
Bo Ra.
Don't you think that's childish?
I'm so disappointed in you.
You're a man after all.
This is why they say that all men are the same.
I couldn't even imagine that your ideal type is a sexy, curvy woman.
Are you being jealous?
You're so scary.
You look even prettier when you glare at me.
Smile. Smile right now.
If you don't smile,
- I'll kiss you. - Gosh. Let go.
- Seriously. - What?
Mom, what's the matter?
What are you talking about?
You've been in a bad mood. You didn't even answer me.
- We're home. - We're home.
- Bo Ra, welcome back. - Hi.
What's that?
What do you think? It's Mom's favorites, tteokbokki and sundae.
Let's gain some belly fat tonight.
- Let's talk in my room. - Why...
What is it?
I want you two to move out.
Mother.
Mom, what's wrong with you?
I've been thinking about it, and I think it would be best.
Come on. We can't afford to rent a house.
Are you making me feel embarrassed in front of my wife?
We would've moved out if we had enough.
Please don't be so mean to us.
I'm not joking right now.
I feel uncomfortable living with you two, and I bet you feel the same.
Get a small studio near your office, and live alone together.
Just like other newlyweds.
I will live with Goong Hwa and Woo Ri.
Why are you saying this all of a sudden?
I didn't think of this all of a sudden.
I made my mind right after I heard you two got married.
We don't have to live all together in such a small house.
Bo Ra must be uncomfortable here too.
Mother, I don't feel uncomfortable here.
Living all together is not necessarily a good thing.
We'd be more excited if we see each other from time to time.
My loving son and my adorable daughter-in-law.
I just want to stay on good terms with you two.
Mom, what's wrong with you?
Mom.
Did you tell your mother that we're going to get married?
I told my dad already.
Well... I didn't have a chance because of Woo Ri's accident.
That's okay.
I'll visit your mother and tell her myself.
There was such tension between the two of them.
I don't know what he heard, but Mr. Cha looked so upset.
- I'm back. - Hi.
It must've been hard.
No, it wasn't.
I heard what happened briefly.
Seeing that Senior Inspector Hwang keeps urging you,
I think some higher-ups have his back. Are you sure about this?
I don't care.
- Mr. Cha. - Please don't try to stop me.
I can never give up. I'll take this to the end.
I see. Go now, and get some rest.
See you tomorrow.
See you.
My goodness.
Mr. Park, you should help him out.
What on earth is your problem?
You should stop him instead.
What more could I help him with?
A lot more.
You have to help him out a lot more.
Gosh. This is driving me crazy.
Seriously, what's wrong with you?
When he was attending Hanguk University, he won a contest too.
Then why couldn't he join a decent company?
I think he gave up on joining a large company...
because of his color blindness.
Unbelievable. He has all sorts of problems.
What about his family?
His father died of illness when he was in middle school,
and his younger sister is a police officer.
That girl seemed very bad-tempered.
Is she married?
Yes, but her husband died.
Is that so?
His name is Bong Yoon Jae. He was a police officer too.
He died in a car accident even before his baby was born.
This family brings bad luck. Gosh.
What was his name again?
Officer Bong Yoon Jae.
What is it, Chairman Jin?
It's nothing. Get back to work now.
Okay.
Bong Yoon Jae.
Could it be...
What can you do?
Ripping off the poor just like what your father has done?
Or using your innate talent in abusing others?
Go ahead, and try all you want.
I'll show you...
what the consequences are.
Hey, it's me.
Why didn't you pick up?
I was so worried.
I'll go to your place now.
Why on earth are you being like this?
I understand why you're upset,
but there was nothing I could do in that situation.
Yes, I know that it wasn't your fault.
Then why are you doing this to me?
Can't you trust me?
It's not that.
I'm no longer sure if I'd be able to get through it all.
What are you talking about all of a sudden?
Just like you said, I might not be ready for it.
So what?
Do you want to break up?
Yes.
All right.
Let's end it here.
I'm sorry.
Come to think of it, we've thought enough about it.
We've also hesitated and avoided it enough.
I think we did everything we could.
But to be honest, I'm a little disappointed in you.
Why? Are you scared to actually do it?
Is this how much you love me?
Yes, this is all I can do!
Let's just give up.
Okay.
What more can I say when you're telling me that you're not sure?
This is actually good.
Thanks for being honest with me.
(Lovers in Bloom)
I want to move out.
Please try to be fond of Bo Ra.
- Woo Ri! - You must've picked this time.
We can't resist it if this is our fate.
What a cruel twist of fate.
She's the wife of the police officer that died in the accident.
Move out if you're going to keep drinking and misbehaving yourself.
We broke up.
Don't tell me to get married ever again.
I heard you're transferring to the main station. Is it because of me?
I must come to my senses. I'm Woo Ri's mom.
He wants to end it.
