(Lovers in Bloom)

Hee Jin.

You remember my name at least.

I thought you had forgotten about us.

It's been a long time.

Mom.

Have a cup of tea.

I won't stay long.

You did a good job in raising Hae Chan.

He's not like kids these days.

Why are you doing this?

You never cared about us the whole time. Why now?

What if Tae Jin finds out?

The thought of you makes him shiver with loathing.

Why are you staring at me like that?

Are you upset because of what I said?

Did you think I would treat you...

as my mom after you left us like that?

You're right.

I can't give any excuses.

I don't have anything to say, no matter what you tell me.

It looks like you're doing pretty well financially though.

Your car is very nice too.

You look like a noble lady.

Have you gotten...

remarried?

I do live with someone.

Then why did you come here?

Why? "I'm doing very well."

Did you want to brag about it?

At the time, there was a reason I had to leave.

Reason?

What can be a justifiable reason for abandoning your own children?

Tae Jin was right about you.

I actually thought about you after giving birth to Hae Chan,

but Tae Jin said to me...

that watching me raising Hae Chan...

makes it harder for him to understand you and what you did.

It must've been so hard for you guys.

Did you actually just say that?

I'm speechless.

- Hee Jin... - How can you say that?

What do you think?

I was 19 when you left us,

and Tae Jin was only 11 years old.

How do you think our life was?

How could you even think of asking that question?

Don't you have a conscience?

I'm sorry, Hee Jin.

I'm very sorry.

You're sorry?

You really don't have a conscience.

No wonder why you abandoned...

your own children.

Even so,

how could you do that?

Even if you didn't think of me,

didn't you miss Tae Jin at least?

Since you left home, Tae Jin pretended he was okay,

but he stood in front of our house every evening...

until it got dark. You!

I'm sure you'll pay for your sin.

Never...

show your face to us again.

If you show up in front of Hae Chan again,

I'll report you to the police.

Hee Jin...

(Episode 38)

I must be out of my mind.

Why would I cry?

What is there to cry about?

Mom.

Mom, what's wrong?

Did something happen?

I'm fine. I'm just a little dizzy.

Let me take you to the hospital.

That's not necessary. I'll be fine after a rest.

Let's go in.

Where on earth did you go?

Dad, please.

I asked you a question!

Mom and I are coming back from the hospital.

I called her because my arm hurt.

Why didn't you tell me?

I need to lie down.

Dad, what's wrong with you?

She went out without explaining to me.

She couldn't tell you because you're too sensitive about my condition.

You always get angry without hearing an explanation.

What did the doctor say?

He said it's normal that it happens from time to time.

How can that be normal? It's been a long time since the accident.

So, are you feeling better now?

Yes, I'm fine.

All right. Go to your room and get some rest.

I came to pick something up. I have to go.

Don't work too hard. Do you hear me?

Just make sure not to yell at Mom.

You're always like that.

Why didn't you tell me that?

I should learn to control my temper too.

I heard many women go through depression during menopause.

Mr. Hwang's wife suffered a lot due to severe depression,

but since she started counseling,

she got much better.

Don't worry.

You know how strong I am.

I'll go wash up.

Hello.

I'm sorry that you can't finish your work because of me.

Please don't say that.

Please don't worry about it, and make yourself comfortable.

See you later.

Are you going to ignore me again?

Thank you.

What is it?

Nothing.

I hate men who make women worry.

I'm not worried.

It's all written on your face that you're worried.

I heard men get their pride hurt while running a business,

and meet a lot of people who abuse their power.

Even if that happens, don't be daunted. Stay confident.

Okay?

Drink some more tea.

You invited me at such a late hour, and said all those nice things,

but you want to stay friends with me?

Hello, Mr. Jin.

Are you free now?

Yes, I am.

I'm in a meeting outside, so come to see me.

I'll send you the address.

Okay.

I should get going.

Why are you drinking without any food?

You might hurt your stomach.

You have to go to work tomorrow.

I'll go to sleep soon.

Good night, Mom.

Stop drinking and go to sleep.

Mom.

I heard you met Choon Rae's mom.

Why did you do that without telling me?

You're the eldest son of the eldest son's family.

You said you were going to marry a girl who's not even Korean.

How could I just let that happen?

What's wrong about that?

What's wrong about that? You know what's wrong.

You know how strict our relatives are about that matter.

Imagine what they would've done if you said you'd marry Choon Rae.

That would've turned the whole family upside down!

Even if that's true, you should've told me.

Were you that happy after separating us?

How dare you?

Just think that you two were not meant to be.

- Mom. - She has a son,

and I wasn't happy with her for many other reasons. This is a good thing.

Grandma, what's wrong with you?

- Dad says he loves her. - Hee Jin.

Can't he live his life as he wants now?

Do you really have to control his life?

What's the matter with you?

Dad, tell her honestly.

Tell her that you don't like it when she acts like this.

Tell her that's enough!

You little... Stop it immediately!

Don't you see how Dad's getting older?

Don't you feel sorry for him?

Mom might've remarried and is enjoying her new life.

Don't you feel bad for him,

watching him getting old alone?

Hee Jin, are you out of your mind?

What did I do?

That's enough!

Fine, blame it all on me.

It's all my fault!

Honey, what is the matter with you?

I'm sorry, Grandmother.

Come on. Come here.

I've lived for too long. I shouldn't have lived this long.

Come on. Go in.

What is wrong with you? Are you bipolar or what?

Did I say anything that is not true?

That's not what I'm saying. You shouldn't have been so harsh.

How can you be so disrespectful to Grandmother?

Right, you must have a lot on your mind.

It's natural for you to think about your mother at times like this,

but we can't undo what already happened.

By the way, why did you have a sudden change of heart?

You made the right decision.

You should take Father's side, no matter what Grandmother says.

Why should I?

What? Why do you keep changing your mind?

I thought you've decided to approve of Father getting remarried.

I don't even know.

I knew that you were lying when you told me that you'd...

follow me to Taiwan right away,

but I still went there anyway.

I wanted to leave because I was sick and tired of those loan sharks.

It's okay. Let's not talk about it.

We should find a place to live first.

I don't want to disturb your work.

I'll look into it.

The rent will be pretty expensive if we want to avoid paying a deposit,

but I'm fine with it because I'll be living with you.

Just focus on work.

I've saved some money even though it's not a lot.

Everyone should strive to be debt-free even if they're poor.

I'm too ashamed to even face you.

Stop it, Mom.

I just need you.

You won't go anywhere now, right?

Of course. I won't go anywhere.

I'll...

stay right by your side.

I had a great time today.

From the concept to design, it's friendly and nice.

Thank you. I look forward to working with you.

I'll pay with this.

Mr. Jin.

Hey, Dami Ad. You came.

I was just about to leave.

Where did it go?

Sorry about that. Go get the car ready for me.

Jeong Hwan.

What? Do the two of you know each other?

He's my closest associate.

Oh, is that right?

My relief driver is here. I should get going.

Sure, get home safely.

Have a good night.

Su Hyuk, let's grab a drink together soon.

All right.

Okay, let's go!

I thought you asked me to come here because you wanted to talk to me.

No, I called you because I felt too lazy to call a relief driver.

Instead of going with that big advertising agency,

I gave your company the amazing opportunity.

You're not upset because I'm asking you to drive me home, are you?

Forget it if you're not up for it.

I can drive.

It'll be all your fault if I end up in an accident.

We're here.

Thanks to you,

I got a safe ride home. Thank you.

Good night.

Hey, wait.

Take a taxi.

It's okay.

All right, then. Good night.

What brings you here?

You left this in the car.

It was there.

I thought I left it at the substation.

You're clumsy.

Take it.

Thank you.

Don't overreact, Goong Hwa.

You left your medicine in the car. How can I not bring it to you?

I did this as your partner as I didn't want our work to be affected.

I'm sorry.

Go in. Take the medicine and get some good rest.

Didn't you bring your car?

I wanted to walk.

I wanted to do some thinking too.

Did something happen?

Don't try to make me stay. It won't work.

Go on in.

I'll share your burden.

I'll carry...

your heavy burden.

Mom, you never lose your appetite over something like this.

How can I not be stressed out?

What am I supposed to say to Soo Ja?

What did Ju Young say?

He said he'd work hard to pay it off.

He told me what happened.

It sounds like she did it to protect him from loan sharks.

Gosh, they must've harassed her like crazy.

Ju Young must've been really distressed too.

I shouldn't have done what I did in front of him.

I grabbed his mom by her collar right in front of him.

- You did? - Don't ask.

When I saw her... I just lost it.

Mom, I don't think you can get that money back right away.

Ju Young said he'd pay it off, so give him a little bit of time.

When will that be?

To tell you the truth, I'm not treating him well enough.

He's very competent, and he has a good eye as well.

He can definitely get a job at other companies,

but he's sticking with me.

Grandma, why do you keep sighing?

Are you worried?

No, I'm not.

I have no appetite.

Woo Ri, enjoy the food.

I'm finished.

Okay.

My head hurts.

Are you feeling any better?

- Sorry? - I'm just saying...

it seems that you've been in bad shape lately.

I'm fine.

Why don't you be honest?

You always suppress your emotions pretending to be elegant.

You'll fall ill because of stress.

Is it that you're worried about me?

You're right. As you said, I'm not elegant.

I was a mere loan shark at a market.

How elegant could I be?

Why are you being like this? What did I say?

I'm not interested in the story of rags to riches of yours.

She ruined my mood before going to work.

Why would you be so harsh?

I was right here.

I didn't tell you to stand there.

You shouldn't do that.

How can you speak so rudely to your elder?

Gosh. Do you think you can act up because I treated you nicely?

What... What did you just say?

What's wrong with you?

I'm sorry...

for poking my nose into your business without knowing my place.

That's ridiculous. Gosh.

I'm going to teach her a lesson...

Stop it already.

I'm sorry. I apologize for his behavior.

I'm okay. Go to work.

What a mean jerk.

Hi. Is this the orthopedic clinic?

I'm the dad of your patient named Jin Bo Ra.

May I speak to Dr. Jung?

Why is this taking so long?

Hello, Dr. Jung!

Yes, this is Jin Dae Gab.

I'm calling you because...

I heard Bo Ra went to see you yesterday.

I'm wondering about her condition.

Pardon? She didn't go there?

They copied Dami Ad's proposal.

No way.

No way?

They added a few things to spruce up the proposal,

but the content was the same.

That manager is Dami Ad's owner's friend.

It's obvious.

How underhanded.

The more people have, the worse they get.

Even though I said that, but it's so funny.

You introduced them to me to get to Dami Ad's owner.

What kind of person do you think I am?

What kind of person?

I can see through you.

You must be intimidated by that nobody.

Hey!

This is why you're not the right man for Bo Ra.

You must compete fair and square.

Do you hear me?

- Did you eat lunch? - I ate a bowl of wheat noodles.

I've been thinking...

How about we have Bo Ra get a thorough checkup?

She always says she's okay,

but she keeps complaining about the pain.

I don't know.

Why didn't you ask the doctor more about her condition?

I'll discuss it next time.

Go wash up first.

Okay.

How did introducing yogurt sellers to single elderly people go?

We proceeded as Mr. Cha ordered.

Okay. Good job.

Are you feeling unwell?

Don't get me started. Mr. Cha was so hard on me this morning.

- Mr. Cha was? - You know what?

Mr. Cha is very sexy and sweet when practicing kendo.

Sexy...and sweet?

You don't know that, do you?

Well, he doesn't act like that toward everyone.

He's sometimes...

No. He's always so cool. He's clear about his preferences too.

He's picky and difficult, but I don't mind.

I guess you like bad guys.

They're better than easy ones.

You'll realize that an attentive and sweet guy is the best some day.

It looks like a bad guy is more attractive,

but once you fall in love, you ruin your life.

What's so funny?

What ruins your life?

Nothing.

Officer Moo is too tough, right?

Officer Moo, what are you going to do after work?

I'm going to work out. I haven't done it for a while.

- Let's go. - Where?

I'm planning to take up boxing for my work out.

Why are you standing there? Come with me.

Why do you like boxing? It's a hard exercise.

That's why I like it.

I have to endure the pain.

Enduring pain isn't all good when it becomes a habit.

You should learn how to let it out sometimes.

It's not that I endure everything.

When you fall during a game,

you have to get up no matter what and fight again.

If you get scared and step back after being hit once,

you would be in the perfect distance to get hit again.

You have to get closer when you get hit.

Wait for a chance,

and throw a nice punch.

Punch. Knock out. Victory!

I live my life as if I'm fighting in a boxing match.

You're right. I shouldn't give up because I got rejected once.

I should get closer to you.

By the way, have you ever knocked your opponent out before?

Of course, I have. Why do you not believe me?

I won all the 17 matches I had.

You're telling me a lie so easily in a boxing gym.

That's too tight.

You look like you're taking it out on me.

Or it might get loose.

This is my territory. What brings you here?

I'm here to work out.

How have you been?

I haven't been well, thanks to someone I know.

You should go home and get some rest. You must be tired from work.

I don't think that's any of your business.

You told me that you like someone. It was a lie, wasn't it?

Mr. Jin.

Am I wrong?

Why would you work out with your co-worker if there's a guy you like?

It must've been a lie.

I like Officer Moo.

You should...

get out of the picture now.

It looks like you're the one who should get out of the picture.

(Lovers in Bloom)

What brings you here?

It looks like you'll get the project for the arcade in Dongdaemun.

- You should thank Bo Ra. - What do you mean by that?

Is it because of Officer Moo?

That woman and the nuisance beside her.

You better not get involved with Jin Do Hyun again.

Mom, who is Hee Jin?

Gosh, it's okay. There's no need for me to feel anxious.

I know where Ms. Oh Choon Rae is.

How do you know?

Let go of me first!

I want my money. Give me my money back.

What are you doing to her now?

Let go of her right now!
