Where's Hee Jin?

She went to pick Hae Chan up.

I'd like to talk to you...

after closing the restaurant tonight.

I gave it a hard thought,

but I think it'd be better for us to end it here.

Choon Rae.

I told you I don't like that name.

My heart used to flutter when you called me that, but not anymore.

It reminds me of the hard times and I don't like it.

Grandmother would be shocked to find out who I am.

She likes me right now...

and I don't want to shock her.

I'll take care of matters. Trust me.

You didn't trust me in the past and...

I don't want the family to get the wrong idea about me.

- Choon Rae. - Oh no.

- Sang Chul. - Mom.

What's this?

How long has this been going on?

Let's go home.

I'll explain it to you at home.

Come on.

What are we to do?

Don't worry.

I'll take care of this.

Grandmother, I was just about to go look for you.

Where did you go without saying anything?

What is with her? Did something happen?

Hi, Father.

Could it be...

I'm sorry...

for surprising you.

When did this start?

You told me...

that I'm only 60 years old.

You said it isn't too late.

- Sang Chul. - Look.

I like her.

I'd like to be with her.

There it goes. He's a courageous man.

Bo Ra.

Don't go.

What?

Don't go there to meet him.

I'll be back.

Bo Ra.

I shouldn't stand him up or be rude to him.

I can't do that.

Let's talk when I'm back.

You're really here.

I'm not late.

I thought you might not come.

You're sweet, but never gave me a chance.

That upsets me.

I'm not familiar with these kinds of restaurants,

so I ordered something called the chef's recommendation.

Is that okay?

Yes.

What should we do next? Should we watch a movie?

Or we could watch a play or a musical.

I actually reserved tickets for all three.

I didn't know what you'd like.

- I'm sorry. - Don't do anything to be sorry.

I had feelings for you for quite some time now.

I'm not sure if you noticed,

but the first day I went to your house with Do Hyun,

that's when it started.

When I saw you, I thought...

I might not be that unlucky for the first time in my life.

- Jae Hee. - This isn't a momentary feeling,

nor am I after money like Do Hyun thinks.

I need money,

but I'm not trashy enough to marry for money.

I don't think you're like that.

I never did.

Bo Ra.

I know you're a good person.

And I'm flattered that you like me.

But...

But?

I'm...

interested in someone else.

I know you don't have a boyfriend.

- Are you trying to push me away? - You've seen him too.

Are you talking about your neighbor?

Yes.

I should leave.

Why didn't you come out to greet me?

You're home.

Were you at home?

Did you forget about our lunch plans?

It slipped my mind. I'm not feeling well.

Then you should've called!

Why didn't you answer your phone?

You know my temper!

That's enough.

I'm sorry.

I went to see Do Hyun with a happy heart.

I know it isn't something to celebrate,

but think how worried he must've been all this time.

I said I'm sorry.

Would you be happy if I begged Do Hyun for forgiveness?

I didn't tell you to do that.

I'm just asking why you're acting unlike yourself and upsetting me.

I'm home.

- Where's Bo Ra? - She has dinner plans.

What brings you home so early?

I thought you'd be getting a drink tonight.

I've been worked up about being suspected by so many people.

It's tiring.

Your mom seems to be sick too.

This isn't like her.

It's okay, we're all happy now.

She worried about you so much, you brat.

She threw a fit because I didn't believe you.

She never got that angry.

I said it's okay. Why do you nag me more and more?

Dad, are you going through menopause?

What did you say? Menopause?

I think your hair got thinner too.

Goodness. Look at your belly.

Seeing that you're acting up, I think you feel better now.

I'm just pretending because of you.

I don't want you to suffer from guilt.

- What did you say? - If you see me downhearted,

how sad would you be?

- Drop by my office tomorrow. - Why?

Tell me now.

I can't talk about it at home.

I have something to tell you. Okay?

Hello?

Hi. This is Jin Do Hyun.

Have you finished your proposal?

I'll finish it by next week as I promised.

Next week will be too late. Finish it by the day after tomorrow.

Pardon?

I need to rush the project.

If you can't, just forget it.

Next week? It's the Dongdaemun project.

- What did he say? - He wants us to finish in two days.

Gosh. He's such a terrible client.

The document I need is at home.

Drop me off at Dongdaemun on your way home.

I have to check on something.

Okay.

What is she doing?

I think she's...

Your uncle is home.

- Uncle! - Hi, Woo Ri.

Mom, I'm just picking something up.

I have to go back to my office.

Did you eat dinner?

Yes, I did.

I think you didn't eat dinner. Why don't you eat before leaving?

I don't have time for that, Mom.

Come here, Woo Ri.

Mom, I can't come home tonight and tomorrow.

Why are you so busy?

I'll tell you later.

Woo Ri, be a good girl and listen to your grandma, okay?

Okay.

Grandma, is Uncle really busy?

I think so.

I hope his business will settle down soon.

He looks so haggard.

Are you upset because of him?

No, don't worry about me.

Someone else's child got lucky to have rich parents,

and enjoys himself every single day.

My child can't even eat or sleep well.

He's working so hard.

Bo Ra, don't go.

Don't go there to meet him.

He didn't wait for me after what he said?

Hold on a second. Could it be that...

he's playing hard to get?

In that case, I'll show him that I'm better at doing that.

Su Hyuk, I'll get going now.

Here we go.

Hi, Mr. Jin.

Good. Now you recognize my phone number.

You saved your number yourself.

The how come you're not calling me?

Didn't you hear?

I did something really good.

I heard it.

Thank you for keeping your promise.

Don't you think you owe me a meal?

All right. Let's meet up tomorrow for lunch.

Well, okay. I'll see you tomorrow.

Oh, yes! Yes, yes!

Ms. Cha.

What's the matter?

Hae Chan is...

Nothing. Never mind.

We have no customers. Let's go home.

You go home first. I'll see you at home.

You must be tired. Let's go together.

Hae Chan is waiting outside.

Thank you for calling Good Luck Chicken.

- A delivery? - Say no.

Of course, you can.

2 spicy and 3 plain?

Of course. I understand. Thank you.

That's a big order.

I should tell Hae Chan to wait here.

That's okay. I can handle it.

It's not a big deal.

You go home now.

I'll finish the work here, and lock the door when I go home.

How can I do that?

I said I'll be fine.

Just go home. Hae Chan is waiting.

- I feel so bad. - Don't worry.

- It's okay. Go home. - Oh, dear.

- Thank you, and I'm sorry. - Go home safely.

Thank you so much.

What? English camp?

If we send him there during his break,

he'll improve his English so much.

He'll be able to listen and speak.

He's already able to listen and speak.

Do you know what they say?

The grandpa's wealth, the dad's indifference,

and the mom's information power.

- He only has the last one, right? - I'm glad you know that.

Do you even know how much it costs?

It costs between 7,000 and 8,000 dollars.

Between 7,000 and 8,000 dollars?

We can just sell our restaurant.

Shall I ask Dad?

- His severance pay... - Stop!

Never say that...

or I'll leave you. Do you hear me?

Why did I bother telling you?

I can't discuss anything with you!

Hey...

Gosh. Seriously.

We might have to help your dad get remarried, you fool.

I won't bite her.

Sang Chul, leave us alone.

Ms. Noh, I... I'm sorry.

Sit down.

How serious is your relationship?

Have you two decided to get married?

No. That's nonsense.

I told you that I have a son.

Are you saying that Sang Chul likes you, but you don't like him?

You can't answer me. I guess it's not a one-sided love.

Where are you going?

I...

I'll sleep outside.

I'm sure you'll be bothered by me.

I think you must be.

Where are you going to sleep?

Pardon?

Oh, that's not what I meant.

How could you do that behind my back?

Listen up. The last thing I should tell you today is...

What are these?

That's easy.

They're three most powerful cards in Korean card game.

Instead of learning a card game,

try to learn to read my mind.

- Crackdown on illegal gambling. - Correct.

A patrol division in another area almost caught illegal gamblers...

who bet almost 100,000 dollars including cash and chips.

To avoid getting caught,

they move to different places.

Prevent evil gamblers from gambling in our jurisdiction...

in advance,

and pay more attention when you go on patrols. That's all.

- Go, Chamsu-ri! - Go, Chamsu-ri!

We can do it!

Mr. Lee.

One of the hottest days is coming. Let's go eat chicken soup.

If it's on you, I'm in. If it's not, I'm out.

You can't do that to your subordinate. It's not fair.

What you always do to me is unfair.

You're so meticulous and petty. I can't even complain about it.

I was never unfair to you guys.

You should all learn from me.

Come to think of it, Mr. Park has never treated us to a meal.

Then, it's on me.

You're the youngest among us.

- It's on me. - That's okay.

I'll buy you all chicken soup today.

Mr. Lee, I'm on a diet. I can't eat it.

I can eat cold noodles though.

You're so skinny. You don't have to lose weight.

You might fall ill.

Worry about yourself, Officer Choi.

Corporal Jang is out.

I'll have cold noodles with her.

Then he isn't coming with us either.

I have lunch plans.

She isn't coming too. All three of them are not coming.

I don't have a single junior staff to have lunch with.

Life is lonely.

I'll eat with you.

You're the best.

Let's go.

What did you tell Grandmother last night?

I told her the truth. What else would I tell her?

Did you tell her I'm Choon Rae?

No, not yet.

She'll have a fit if she finds out.

She's already upset that we've been hiding it.

I don't know how to face the rest of the family.

I'll take her out on the weekend...

and tell her everything.

I know it's hard, but wait until then.

I'll try to clear things up as soon as possible.

I'm going to work.

You look good.

Do you have any good news?

Dad.

Why did you want to see me?

What is it? Why are you breathing down my neck when I'm so busy?

Wrap up the Dongdaemun project nicely.

I have something in mind.

Tell me what that is.

The hotel.

Dad.

- Are you happy? - Of course I am.

You know how much I like money just like you.

Weren't you planning to give it to Ms. Heo?

Do Hyun.

What's with the serious face? What are you going to say?

Your mom is getting old now.

She's gotten weaker.

She thinks of you as her child even though you're a troublemaker.

I didn't even marry her legally,

just in case it might harm you in any way.

Dad.

So I'm asking you...

to be nice to her.

That was unexpected.

I'm not just saying this.

- I'm giving you three chances. - For what?

If I see you act rudely...

toward your mom three more times,

I'll kick you out without a dime, let alone the hotel.

You know I keep my word, right?

Yes, I do.

Make sure you keep it in mind.

All right.

Gosh.

Why did you ask me to come over?

Where's Su Hyuk?

He's very busy.

He has to complete the proposal by tomorrow.

Should I ask him to come?

No, it's all right.

Just take this.

Thank you.

How is the work going?

It's just work.

The bossy client is so fickle.

Why don't you come over?

Su Hyuk waited for you for a long time yesterday.

What?

It's all right.

- Thanks for the snack. - You're welcome.

Why am I so nervous?

What am I going to do when I see him?

You left early yesterday and playing hard to get today.

Bo Ra, you need to slow down.

Calm down.

Calm down.

Try it.

This is the best restaurant in the area.

Why would you eat intestines with so many other things to eat?

Let's leave. It's on me.

I said I'd treat you to lunch.

If it's because of the Kim Young-ran act,

you should just buy me seollongtang.

I didn't eat this either,

but it turns out to be a delicacy.

Try it. You won't regret it.

It's delicious.

Gosh.

It's good, isn't it?

It isn't that bad.

This is a first.

- What? - You smiled at me.

I smiled because the food is good.

Is this that good?

Let's see.

It's easy to make you laugh.

All I have to do is eat this.

Stop joking and eat.

I'm not so bad after getting to know me, right?

You?

It isn't easy...

for things to turn out like that.

I even surprised myself.

I don't like people that make a deal out of doing good deeds...

or praise themselves.

I have to compliment myself...

since no one else does.

That's why I do it.

I constantly do it...

until people realize I'm worth it.

You smiled again.

You like this kind of jokes.

This is my field of expertise.

Officer Moo said she had lunch plans.

Doesn't it look like a date?

She said she was going on a blind date a few days ago. Maybe it's him.

Eating this with you make it taste delicious.

He looks sleazy and not our type.

Excuse me, should I prepare lunch?

- What? - You have to eat lunch.

I'm fine, but you should eat.

You can leave when it's time.

Something seems weird.

What made that cold person...

become so dazed like that?

Gosh.

You pay me back every month for the money Gyung Ah took,

but I feel like taking candy from a child.

Give it back if you feel bad.

Here. Cook it for Woo Ri.

Is this dried laver worth 20,000 dollars?

You should tell Goong Hwa to find Gyung Ah.

Don't create a fuss. That's enough.

Oh, look over there.

Isn't she the rice cake store owner?

Store owners from the market...

have been playing cards every night.

She's the loan shark.

Loan shark? What's that?

She lends gamblers money and takes the interest.

That isn't something you just do for fun.

That's real gambling.

Are you hinting that your daughter's a police officer?

Yes, that's right.

Did you enjoy lunch?

Yes.

It's getting way too hot.

You must not get hot easily.

Is it because you're cold-hearted?

That was a joke.

Tell that car to stop.

Okay.

45 Uh 0890,

you were going too fast in a child protection zone.

Please pull over.

You were speeding in a child protection zone.

- May I see your license? - Okay.

Stop!

Goong Hwa!

- Are you all right? - Yes, I'm okay.

Have you been hurt?

I'm fine.

I told you not to stand in front of a car.

I forgot...

How many times do I have to tell you...

that suspects may run away and there could be unexpected situations?

What if you got hurt while standing there?

What would you have done?

I'm sorry.

What's going on?

Mom.

Mr. Cha, this is my mom.

- This is my mom's friend. - Hello.

Mom, this is my partner and my team manager.

Hello. It's nice to meet you. I'm Cha Tae Jin.

Hello.

By the way, why are you so angry?

Pardon?

Mom, it's because I made a mistake.

What kind of mistake did she make...

to make you scold her on the street?

She'll understand if you tell her nicely.

I'm sorry.

Mom, I told you it wasn't like that.

Don't stop me. You know...

Let me just talk to him for a while.

- Why would you... - Come with me, Mom.

- Stop it. - Why?

My goodness. You're so handsome.

You can be an actor.

You hear you look like an actor very often, right?

Oh, my.

I told them not to allow anyone to come in to my office.

You don't have to thank me.

I didn't know I would forgive you.

I'm here to hear you apologize.

That's better than see you crying.

Okay.

I'm sorry to your brother and your parents,

but not to you.

Also, the loan shark won't bother you anymore.

I said everything I have to say. You should go.

Thank you.

Text me if you need money for your brother's tuition fee.

Not when you want to buy a handbag.

Don't worry.

That won't happen.

I wish you the best.

Let's not see each other again.

You like Officer Moo, don't you?

I think she's a good woman.

I thought she was too good for you,

but now I think you two might make a good couple.

Good luck.

See you tomorrow.

What's the hurry?

Are you going on a date?

I wish that was the case.

I'm just going home.

- See you tomorrow. - See you.

- See you tomorrow. - Mr. Cha.

Can you come to my office and look at a document?

Sure.

(Chamsu-ri Substation)

Officer Moo.

Mr. Jin.

I have something to ask you.

Do you have a husband?

Sorry?

You said you have a child, but you never said you have a husband.

Mr. Jin.

You can't answer me. I guess you're not married.

- Goodbye. - Would you like to go out with me?

Go out with me.

(Lovers in Bloom)

Why does Mr. Jin keep visiting you?

- It's regarding my work. - Are you sure?

The reason? I just became fond of you.

Where on earth did she go?

They say I look more like my uncle than my mom.

- Your uncle? - He's so cool.

Why does it keep bothering me?

The merchants of the market have been playing cards.

Why don't you join us?

It's so fun you lose track of time.

I'm not good enough for you.

It's because you're distracted.
