(Lovers in Bloom)

This is the granddaughter of a friend.

She's 26 years old and a pharmacist.

I set the date for this Saturday.

You can make time, can't you?

She sounds like a catch.

You should meet her.

Meeting her won't hurt.

That's right. Your grandmother set this up for you.

I like her too.

She looks nice.

Grandma.

I have something to tell you.

Hey, what are you going to say?

Grandma.

I'm interested in someone.

You're interested in someone?

Does this mean you're dating someone?

Yes.

So you don't have to set me up with anyone.

Is that so?

Why haven't you told us until now?

Cha Tae Jin.

Why are you raising your voice?

- Are you out of your mind? - Hee Jin.

Why are you yelling at her?

Do you really want to see Grandma pass out?

I want to see Tae Jin and Sang Chul in my room.

Okay.

What does she do?

She's a police officer.

We work together.

- How old is she? - 29.

She's a bit old.

That isn't considered old nowadays.

What about her family?

Are both her parents alive?

Her father passed away a long time ago.

She lives with her mother and brother. Also,

she has a daughter.

What? She has a daughter?

Was she married before?

Yes.

Tae Jin.

Are you saying that you like a woman who was married once,

and that's why you refused to go on a blind date?

- Get out. - Grandma.

Mother.

Grandma, are you all right?

I said, leave.

Come with me.

I'm sorry, Grandma.

- But... - I said, come with me!

Please lie down, Grandmother.

Grandma, should I bring you herbal medicine for anxiety relief?

What should I do?

I'll give you two some privacy.

I told your stepmother...

that I would be on your side no matter what.

I said that I would root for you whoever you choose.

However!

This isn't right.

She's a good person.

Dad, can't you trust me?

This isn't a matter of trust!

- Dad! - How dare you?

Change your mind.

I can't do that.

You just crushed your grandmother's whole world.

Do you want her to have a granddaughter-in-law with a child?

Does that make any sense to you?

It's unacceptable. You're asking too much of us!

I knew you had lost your mind, but this is too much.

Hee Jin.

Think of how Grandma raised you.

How can you be so selfish?

Don't you think of your family?

Honey, stop it.

Does your girlfriend know that you're being like this?

She has no idea.

She has no idea?

So, you're taking full responsibility of this.

You're unbelievable.

Hey! You don't even care about your own family.

All you care about is her happiness!

- What do we mean to you? - Stop.

- Answer me! - Gosh. Seriously.

Tae Jin, I thought you were better than this.

Don't say anything you'll regret later.

In fact, they say that a man in love would even throw his crown away.

Looking at you, I think you can do much worse than that.

You won't care even if Grandma falls ill because of this!

- Hee Jin! - Am I even your sister?

I said, that's enough!

Go ahead if you want to turn your back on your family.

The whole family will never accept her as our family.

You were too hasty.

I know that it's hard to be rational when you're in love,

but you can't drop a bomb like this.

You should've given them some time to be prepared emotionally.

Would they have been prepared if they had known this?

You have a point, but this is...

I'm worried about Grandmother.

How did your team members react?

Everyone loved your food.

They all went crazy.

They said that they wished there was a restaurant with dishes like yours.

Oh, gosh. That wasn't even a big deal for me.

Grandma, you're so popular.

Yes, she is.

You must be happy. You're a star chef for Chamsu-ri Substation.

Your team members looked kind and warm-hearted.

How old is Mr. Lee?

I think he's a few years younger than you.

Is he?

Then, why did he give off the vibe of an old man?

Doesn't his wife take care of him?

He got divorced.

No wonder.

I feel bad for him.

Actually, my team members are also going through hardships.

Mr. Park's child is very ill.

He's so stingy at work because of the medical bills.

We used to speak ill of him without knowing that.

That's what parents would do when their child is sick.

By the way, about that woman, Corporal Jang...

Does she give you a hard time for no reason?

I saw her looking at you with such cold eyes.

She must've been upset because you said useless things...

like I don't gain weight easily.

She's professional and smart.

However, Mr. Cha seemed to eat like a bird.

I like men with a big appetite who aren't picky for food.

He seemed so quiet too.

He's not picky.

He was just nervous because of you.

Also, he's not a chatty type of man.

Gosh, you're taking his side already.

Soo Ja went on about how handsome he is,

seeing him today, I admit his looks aren't so bad.

Is that all?

What else did you expect me to say? What else?

I'll go to see my son who is really handsome.

Gosh.

Come in.

- Are you all right? - What do you mean?

Are you feeling well?

I couldn't be more grateful and happier.

I heard you visited the substation.

Yes, I did. I heard how much they worried about us.

I thought I should thank them.

I'm glad you did.

He looked nice.

That's why you went there.

That was one of the reasons.

He was very quiet, but he seemed reliable.

When he smiles, he looks quite gentle.

He's a nice guy.

- How would you know? - I just can tell.

Men are better judge of other men.

I heard he's single. I wish he was a widower...

or a divorced man.

It would've been easier if he was.

Of course.

Would his family be happy with Goong Hwa?

As a matter of fact, they would be shocked.

Goong Hwa hesitated a lot too.

Seeing that she dated him anyway, I think she really like him.

That worries me even more.

We can't just tell her not to date anyone...

because of her situation.

That's not right.

Well... You're right.

Mom.

Let's not worry about things that haven't even happened. Okay?

He didn't even text me today.

He has changed.

We haven't dated that long.

Is something going on with him?

- Gosh, stop. - Come on down.

Gosh.

I told you, I don't feel like having breakfast.

Have you ever seen me eating breakfast?

Listen. You need to eat some carbs, so your brain works better.

You don't want to ruin Dad's business with your stupid brain.

- You little... - Bo Ra is right about that.

Learn to take advice when she's right, you brat.

- Stop. Do Hyun, please. - Please. Gosh.

That brat.

Bread again?

Exactly. Dad prefers Korean-style meals.

We should let him have breakfast when he works so busy.

If you want to have breakfast with your son,

please don't complain about having bread for breakfast.

That's impressive. You must be working hard lately.

Are you enjoying your work?

Well, it's interesting enough for me to realize why people enjoy working.

That's good to hear.

You never know how long it will last.

His resolution never lasted longer than three days in his school days.

I think it didn't even last three days.

Bo Ra, stop acting up.

His school report cards were unbelievable.

I was a good student in elementary school.

I went astray early because of our complicated family situation.

You blame me for everything, you brat.

I'm doing okay now. That's what matters.

Let's forget about the past.

Bo Ra, how are you doing?

I'm working hard for my cooking classes.

I'm thinking of opening a cooking class for teenagers.

- For free. - For free?

While doing volunteer works at facilities for teenagers,

I saw many teenagers who wished to become a cook, but gave up...

because they didn't know where to start and couldn't afford it.

My goodness, Bo Ra.

Why don't you start a charity business?

It would be better if I focused on my work.

It's better than causing you trouble.

You even know how to make me stop talking.

Why don't you save the talk about the blind date for later?

- Why? - He's having so much fun with work.

He probably doesn't have time to worry about women.

Don't make it cumbersome when he's working.

Work and marriage are two different things.

I'm sure he'll meet someone.

I didn't expect this.

You've said exactly what was on my mind.

If I keep putting it off, when will I get to see grandchildren?

Everyone shows me pictures and brags about their grandchildren.

After the opening of the hotel,

I'll bring a girl to you.

Are you sure?

You aren't going to bring some immature girl, will you?

I'll bring someone mature,

so try not to find her tiresome.

I won't listen to you even if you don't approve then.

Is that so?

I'll pretend to trust you and look forward to it.

- Let's eat. - Okay.

Here.

What's with you?

Are you wondering what I have on my mind this time?

I didn't say that.

I'm just thankful.

That's what I wanted.

I want you to be thankful.

My goodness.

If I'm good to your children,

you won't say anything about me meeting mine.

Here, buy whatever you want.

It's okay, I have money.

I heard it's more fun to use your husband's credit card.

Spend all you want.

I won't say a thing no matter how much you spend.

I might run a bit late tonight after meeting my daughter.

How is she feeling?

She's feeling better.

Her fever has dropped as well.

She must've been so upset.

I think she had a heat stroke.

She had a fever when she came home yesterday.

This is the strangest coincidence.

He's getting blamed for no reason.

No reason? Don't water it down like that.

Father.

I'm going to work, Grandma.

I'm sorry for upsetting you.

Then don't do things to upset me.

See you later.

Have a nice day.

Bye.

What should we do with him, Grandma?

You should stay lying down.

Listen to me.

Don't ever mention that girl again.

Ignore her.

That's all we can do.

We have to let him get over her by himself.

He won't back down because we tell him to.

Grandma.

Officer Moo...

I told you not to mention her.

Hee Jin,

don't even think about meeting her.

If you do and Tae Jin finds out,

no one will be able to talk him out of it then.

I want you to take me seriously.

Okay.

I told you so.

What's this?

You look like Rodin's "The Thinker".

You didn't even call yesterday.

- Did you wait for my call? - No, not really.

Weren't you curious what my Mom thought?

- Oh, right. What did she say? - "Oh, right"?

What's with this lukewarm reaction?

What did she say?

She said you look nice.

She used to think you looked cold.

That's a relief.

You aren't as happy as I thought you'd be.

Your mom is cute.

I think so too.

Is something wrong?

Your smile looks awkward.

- It does? - I told you.

I pick things up very quickly.

Tell me what's wrong.

Don't worry about it and get ready for our patrol. Meet me downstairs.

He's the manager there.

- He's always... - That's enough.

- I was upset already. - Let go of me.

I don't have anywhere to park because they take up all the space.

How could I not be upset? Tell me.

- Listen. - Do you own the parking lot?

- Stop. - Hit me, hit me.

- Fine. - Stop.

Come this way.

- I don't believe him. - That's enough!

I can see why she's upset.

It's not even a big problem. You should talk it out nicely.

Nicely? Why would I do that?

You took a bribe from that lady, didn't you?

How dare you nobodies patronize me?

Don't stick your nose in this and get out of here...

if you want to work until your retirement age.

- How dare you say whatever... - No, don't.

Thank you for worrying about me,

but you shouldn't criticize...

a civil servant that works for the government.

I don't believe this.

What do you even do?

All you do is take care of drunk people...

and when you find a real case,

you toss it to the police station.

Look.

Watch your back at night...

and make sure your wife and kids are safe when they go to school.

Are you threatening police officers?

What if I am?

Are you seriously going to start this?

Don't.

That's enough, Tae Jin.

Thank you for worrying about my future,

but you should make up and go back to work now.

What good will it do if you stay here and argue.

Come with me.

- Let go of me. - Go down.

Let go.

What happened? This isn't like you.

- Is something wrong? - I'm sorry.

Officer Moo.

We're going to make our patrol.

I've never seen Mr. Cha get so upset.

I was getting pretty mad myself.

Do we have to put up with this?

Look, this isn't the first time something like this happened.

It happens all the time.

No matter how hard we work, everyone thinks we're having fun.

We don't work for the acknowledgement.

Life isn't all sunshine and rainbows.

Of course.

My goodness.

If you're that thankful, you can keep this a secret.

This is a secret between just you and me.

Got it?

I don't know if I should keep this to myself,

but I don't think I should tell Su Hyuk about it.

Here you go.

- What's this? - It isn't much.

It's for you to have a nice meal.

No, you shouldn't.

You can give me pocket money after you become stable.

It'll help me work harder if you take this.

All right.

This is nice.

I love the money you give me the most.

Mom, Goong Hwa will be disappointed if she hears.

I can't help it. It's the truth.

What do you want for dinner?

I have plans tonight.

Don't cook for Ju Young and me.

All right, watch out for cars.

- See you later. - Bye.

That's right.

Telling him won't do him any good.

This won't be enough for young men like you guys.

Should I order three more portions?

Why did you want to see us?

Of course, it's because I want you to make advertisement for us.

I watched the commercial you made last time.

I really liked how you get the job done.

We haven't even been paid for the work we did.

Didn't your brother tell you that?

I stepped in because that jerk was good-for-nothing.

He ruined the business and fled to the US.

My blood is boiling.

I'm confident that my products...

will sell well wherever in the world.

I know that.

We wouldn't have taken up the work if your products weren't good.

The Small-Medium Industry Promotion Bureau gave you an award, right?

Exactly. We're the first company to invent that product.

Another company copied our products,

and sold them on a home shopping network. They became a big hit.

Talking about it makes me angrier and angrier.

Let's put that aside.

I'm preparing to expand our factory...

with investment funds.

In order to do so,

I think we need a good advertisement about my company.

Thank you for your offer,

but I don't understand why you didn't find a large company...

instead of a small company like ours.

That's because it's cheap.

Of course, that's a big part of the reason,

but you're good, and you have brilliant ideas.

Whatever. Pay us first, please.

Fine. I will pay you.

I'm famous for my tenacity, and I always keep my promises.

Enjoy the meat first.

Eat up.

Oh, gosh. What should I do? I burned this one.

What a waste. Gosh.

Here you go. Enjoy it.

It's such a waste. Here you go.

Why did you call me over?

Give me a minute. I have to report something to my dad.

You seem so busy lately.

Doing a charity work and all.

I heard you meddled in what happened to Chairman Kim's son.

You do know everything.

Helping the woman I love secretly...

was quite fun, and that felt so good.

You better put an end to that fun before Chairman Jin finds out.

You cross the line so often lately.

You went further and further,

and you even set your foot in my house.

Ms. Heo called me over to discuss the arcade she sold recently.

I understand that you came because she called you over.

I'll advise you as your friend.

Choose the right person to follow.

You might ruin your life.

You know how my dad is, right?

I understand why you've been seeing Ms. Heo.

However, do you think my dad will understand you?

Be wise.

They say that your greed can blind you to danger.

Do Hyun.

I'm just saying you should be careful.

I'm telling you this because I care.

Don't get hurt by getting involved in their fight.

Keep your eyes open wide, and stay alert.

Okay?

Let's go.

You lowered the budget for the construction costs.

You know you can trust me.

I sold a lot of buildings after remodeling them.

I'm impressed. You're not so bad.

Dad, don't be so strict. I did a good job.

Give me some compliments.

Not now. I'll praise you in a few years.

After the hotel business settles down.

If Bo Ra wants to start a business,

why don't you let her take care of the restaurants?

I think Ms. Heo is interested in the hotel business too.

She talked about spa this morning.

She'll never be in the business!

I'll take care of her.

Just make sure you take good care of Bo Ra.

You don't have to tell me that.

I already have plans for her.

(Patrol Report Box)

When did you go to the store?

Did you forget?

I think I told you that I can run 100m in 12 seconds.

Let's see.

(Cha Tae Jin, Moo Goong Hwa)

You've done it well.

How dare you?

You wrote Cha Tae Jin next to my name, Moo Goong Hwa.

You can just write Team 1 Manager.

Why do you always write your name?

Is that because you treat your team members equally?

That looks good. Cha Tae Jin next to Moo Goong Hwa.

You're acting up again.

It's refreshing.

Do you know that I felt so good before?

If you hadn't said anything to that rude citizen, I would've done it.

It looked like...

you were about to cause trouble, so I stepped up.

How dare he spoke like that to Inspector Cha Tae Jin?

How could he treat my boyfriend like that?

I've gone completely soft.

I would've thrown him down if I were like I used to be.

Why didn't you do that?

Should I have done it?

Wait here.

If you want, I'll go back there...

- We're on duty now. - Why are you being like this?

I just showed my affection for my partner.

Thank you.

You cheered me up.

Did I comfort you a little?

It was very comforting.

It's boring, isn't it?

What do you mean?

I heard you only dealt with big cases when you were a detective.

The police officers in my batch told me when I received the award...

that I should be honored to be your partner.

They said I should learn from you while you're here...

because you're not going to work here for long.

You might return your position at the police station soon.

Would you follow me if I go there?

Of course, I would. Once a partner, always a partner.

You should work harder to follow me.

I hate working with an incompetent partner.

I shouldn't have flattered you that much.

Let's go.

What did you say? So what happened?

It's obvious.

Grandma fainted.

It was a total mess.

What did your dad say?

Of course, he's against it.

Even dad who used to approve of anything Tae Jin wanted...

looked so pale because he was shocked.

How could this be happening?

I'm so anxious.

When Tae Jin sets his mind on something, no one can stop him.

Besides, he has never told us about anyone he was interested in.

That's what makes me even more nervous.

If your grandmother found out,

she would've done something to stop him.

She said we all should pretend we didn't hear him.

I should've taken care of that matter earlier.

What could you have done?

There's a female police officer...

named Eun Ju at his substation whose father is the commissioner general.

She worked at a large company before she became a police officer.

She's pretty and has a good personality.

She's also from a good family.

I tried to set him up with her.

But he fell in love with a single mom instead.

What's this?

It's the taekwondo uniform I borrowed.

Thank you for lending it to me.

I'll treat you to a meal.

I'll take you out on a date.

I can't go on a date today. I have to go home early.

- Did something bad happen? - No.

You're lying. Something is going on.

Or else, you wouldn't have refused it.

My grandmother is unwell.

Go home now.

I'll call you later.

That's okay. Don't worry about me. See you tomorrow.

- See you again soon. - See you.

(Lovers in Bloom)

Are you going to meet Officer Moo?

- Do you plan to pull out her hair? - Why not?

- His sister came to see me. - What do you think you're doing?

- What? - Can we meet? It won't take long.

Try it.

- Something's wrong, isn't it? - I saw her.

Who?

The woman who showed up in 20 years and call herself my mom.

He must've been so lonely and heartbroken all this time.

Why do you think you're pathetic?

I'm right by your side now, Tae Jin.
