(When My Love Blooms)
Found you.
Yoon Ji Su.
Found you.
Yoon Ji Su.
I should've found you sooner.
I was too late.
Why would you look for me?
It was over between us.
How could I not look for you?
When you hid like that back then,
a part of me understood,
and a part of me resented you.
But breaking up helplessly,
unable to do anything about it...
hurt me every moment of my life.
Sorry,
but I don't remember the past very well.
And to be honest,
I don't remember much about you.
Thank you for what you did back at the school.
And I'm sorry my son hurt your son.
Young Min, was it?
He seemed like a kind, good kid.
We don't know why they fought yet,
so let's let it be. There's no reason to be sorry...
or thankful.
Regardless,
thank you.
I'll be going now.
(When My Love Blooms)
(Episode 2)
(Hwabon Station)
Even if you don't remember much about me,
I'll be a useful guide.
I volunteered often in rural areas,
so I know these country roads well.
- Who's there? - My gosh.
I won't ask you to hold my hand,
so get close to me.
I'm fine.
All right.
Then follow my footprints.
Follow me.
Don't look anywhere else.
Just follow my footprints.
C sharp minor ninth,
b7 add 13.
Ding.
What's this? Is this math or music?
Today, all of us
Gather here together
And bless
Your future
Civil Procedures tomorrow
Criminal law the next day
One by one The exams are coming up
But it's Labor Day tomorrow
And the rally the next day
Day by day It's battle after battle
I want to fall in love
And go on dates
But the only punk I can page Is Lee Dong Jin, no one else
I'm screwed
Why aren't you coming out?
What's going on?
Why do you have your eyes closed?
You're being totally ridiculous.
(Kim Gi Hwan's Special GMAT Course)
I think that's mine.
Found you.
Yoon Ji Su.
Did you know my name?
You wrote it in huge letters on the score.
You remembered it.
Because of the handkerchief. It's expensive.
It doesn't look very expensive.
It was a gift from my mom when I started college.
I'm sorry.
I was planning to give it back.
It's okay. You can keep it.
Why?
It has your snot and grease from your hair.
- It's dirty. - It didn't touch my hair.
You called me before I tied it.
How can I keep it when it was from your mom?
I have five more. It came in a set.
So stop hanging around our department lounge...
and focus on your studies.
No one studies.
- What? - Everyone older is demonstrating...
and the freshmen are always drinking.
No one studies.
You picked up only bad habits.
We study hard.
We read and hold seminars all the time.
Will you date me if I study hard?
No.
Your tape.
I found it on the grass the other day.
I didn't listen to it.
Give it to me.
You can change the key if the chords are tricky.
Forget what you heard.
I memorized it all.
Delete it from your memory.
I don't want to.
I like the song...
and I like you on the tape even better.
It makes me realize that you're human too.
You seem different from when you're demonstrating.
You're cute.
You...
Don't acknowledge me from now on.
Of course you remember.
You still have this handkerchief after more than 20 years.
Of course I remember.
I even remember the song.
I want to
Fall in love
And go on dates
But the only punk
I can page
Is Lee Dong Jin, no one else
She still clears snow with her foot.
Young lady, take this.
It's your breakfast,
but I left sungnyung on the stove.
Take this.
The sungnyung tastes amazing.
Are you two having a fling?
You wouldn't use separate rooms if you were married,
not to mention if you're having an affair.
We're neither. We're just friends.
Liar.
How can men and women be friends?
Why not? She's a friend that's a woman.
How do you know about relationships so well?
You even know the term "fling".
I watch dramas every single day before the nine o'clock news.
It's all they talk about.
They slap people around because of affairs.
One time, someone even slapped a person with kimchi.
My goodness.
I hope it would snow more...
so we can't go anywhere.
Can I take a look at that?
Let me see.
Hold this up.
It won't come out easily.
- I'm okay now. - I almost got it.
There.
Your family must be quite worried.
No, they said it's okay and to take my time.
That's a relief.
Seeing your son, his father must be a good person.
May I ask what he does?
He's a lawyer.
I see.
He must have studied law like I did.
Did he go to our school?
Jae Hyun.
I feel uncomfortable having this conversation.
Thank you for yesterday and today.
I'll compensate you if it's necessary.
Let's leave it at that,
as parents of children that go to the same school.
I feel uncomfortable...
hearing about things I barely remember.
All right. I understand.
Let's go our separate ways since it's light out now.
Welcome back.
I'll take you home...
and go back to retrieve the car.
- Jae Hyun. - Hi.
How much do lawyers make nowadays?
- Why? Do you plan to become one? - No.
I mean...
Is it hard for them to make a living?
It's different for everyone.
Human rights lawyers or public defenders...
may struggle financially, right?
Are you getting fired? Did the old man tell you to leave?
That's why I gave you systematic advice...
to make a slush fund when you can.
Whatever. I got it.
- Joon Woo. - Yes?
The woman that dropped this handkerchief...
So you had it.
I was looking for it to throw it away.
What did the owner look like she did for a living?
I don't know.
She had several 500ml bottles of water.
Maybe she sells something.
Anyway, she looked like the typical middle-aged lady.
She looked tough and brazen,
but she was pretty.
I'm sure she was popular when she was young.
- Find out about her. - Excuse me?
Gosh, Mr. Han.
Is it because I said she's pretty?
How could we do nothing...
after almost hitting her?
What kind of person does that?
- Is that how I taught you? - No.
But I know nothing about her.
- I know something about her. - What?
She's the parent of Joon Seo's classmate.
What? Really?
(Convalescence Ward)
(Homeroom teacher)
I talked to Young Min,
but he won't tell me what happened.
Young Min won't talk to me.
That soft and gentle kid...
threw a chair,
but I totally forgot about it...
since last night until now.
I'm a horrible mom, aren't I?
It must have been because it snowed.
Because it snowed so much.
I can't stand these darn seasons.
I wish we only had one season,
but we have four.
Each season is so pretty and makes my heart flutter.
The seasons approach hand-in-hand with him.
Some days, it's the wind.
Some days, it's the flowers.
Some days, it's the rain.
If I close my eyes to block it out, I see him more clearly.
If I drink because it hurts too much,
he appears in my dream.
He would show up every day even if all I did was breathe.
It made it impossible to bear.
No.
The truth is,
that's why I was able to survive.
I imagined our reunion hundreds of times,
but what happened yesterday wasn't in any of the scenarios.
Why did we have to meet again...
when I was in such a pitiful situation?
This is my wife...
and my daughter.
Aren't they pretty?
Still, it was nice seeing him again.
So I understand...
how much it must hurt you.
Mr. Han, Ms. Jang is home.
Honey, just a minute.
Are you a charity worker?
Didn't we donate plenty?
You're not making sense.
Who said you could let that kid go?
Who said to forgive him?
Should I have sent him to jail or something?
Of course. How dare he touch my son?
It wasn't that serious.
And he's still a kid.
That's the problem.
He's bullying others already at that age.
What if he was hit properly with the chair?
Didn't you think about that?
Check whether Joon Seo...
did something wrong first.
It doesn't matter if even if he did!
I'm so annoyed already...
that a punk like that attends the same school and eats for free.
Settle? Mercy?
I will never!
You'll just end up ruining Joon Seo.
It's because I saw and heard something,
so leave it alone.
We need to meet.
I hate beating around the bush, so I'll get right to it.
I think you should resign as the PTA representative.
It's weird for us to say anything,
so tell the school you can't do it.
I didn't want it anyway,
so that's not a problem.
But may I ask why?
We heard about Young Min.
But it isn't just about him.
The problem is you.
You lied about so many things.
Your divorce...
That's your personal life, so it's fine to hide it.
But working at a supermarket...
is a bit much, don't you think?
Yun Hee's mom saw you protesting outside...
of the supermarket's headquarters.
Was she mistaken?
Must I tell the mothers...
about my personal matters?
You shouldn't deceive us.
If you felt I deceived you, I apologize.
I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want it...
to influence your view on Young Min.
Be honest. You were ashamed.
You knew that you didn't belong...
with us too.
It's true that I didn't belong.
The school responsibilities and brunches were burdensome.
This works out. I'll notify the school.
Why are you so confident?
Aren't you going to apologize?
Did you forget already?
I did 30 seconds ago.
(Se Hoon)
What's up?
What can't you say over the phone?
You're being rude. You didn't even knock.
Etiquette is reserved for human beings.
Did something happen to Young Min?
No.
Really?
- I said no. - That's odd.
Then why has his phone been off...
for two days?
Didn't you try to call him?
He called from his friend's phone.
His phone broke.
I see. Is that right?
Ask questions like these over the phone next time.
I can't see your eyes over the phone.
Your eyes never lie.
I won't come here again.
Figure out a way to identify lies...
in my voice.
If you settle, you can avoid a jail sentence.
I will not settle.
If they decide there was intent, you may go to prison.
This isn't worth it.
It was neither impulsive nor a mistake.
He caused the accident...
and trifled with the victims' families.
He showed no remorse or reflection.
I definitely...
had the intent to harm.
I will tell the whole world...
what that person did.
The phone is turned off.
(Homeroom teacher)
The person you have reached...
Firing people is murder! Cancel the layoffs!
- Cancel it! - Cancel it!
Cancel the unfair layoffs!
- Cancel it! - Cancel it!
Hyungsung Mart's management must repent!
- Repent! - Repent!
Hey.
About the woman you asked me to look into...
Yes? Did you find anything special?
She's divorced.
Divorced?
Yes. Three years ago.
That can't be...
Her son is the only name listed in her family registry.
Are you saying she's raising her child alone?
Yes, I think so.
Then... What about her ex-husband?
Is he paying child support?
He's an attorney at a law firm.
They went all the way to trial,
and she forfeited alimony...
and child support in exchange for custody.
How well does she live?
Does she have a job?
No, not really.
She does gig jobs here and there.
(Turn on your headlights)
Hello?
Hello. Did you call earlier?
Yes. Young Min's phone is off,
so I wondered if everything was okay.
Everything's fine. He was fine in class.
He was?
I'll tell him to call you.
Yes, please. Thank you.
And...
I have another favor to ask.
Yes, go ahead.
If Young Min's dad calls,
can you not tell him about what happened?
I don't want him to worry.
Okay, thank you.
What? Got a problem?
I hurt my head, so I can't think straight.
It's your fault, so be understanding.
When the morning dawns
The red sun rises
The rage in our hearts ignite
And become a big flame
Even if we are attacked on all sides
We shall band together and overcome
You'll have to decide what you're going to do...
about the contract workers who have been protesting...
for nearly a month.
What do you recommend, Mr. Park?
Well, we didn't violate any terms of the contract.
But they're protesting that the contract itself was unfair.
- So following the law... - Read the room.
Most of them are housewives in their 40s and 50s.
If we steamroll over them in the era we're living in,
we'll be buried in complaints and the like.
Then what should we do?
Just leave them.
They're cheerful like women on a picnic.
It's not like they'll break down the door and march in.
Yes, sir.
Consult Legal...
and bring me a plan.
Stop asking me as if you're quizzing me.
Yes, sir.
We'll pretend to negotiate and buy time,
and force them to leave.
Illegal labor strike, improperly occupying our facilities,
obstruction of business, et cetera.
Gather evidence that will justify forcing them to leave.
Yes, sir.
Why aren't you married?
Are you divorced?
Are you saying someone as handsome as you never had anyone?
- No way. - I'm sure he did.
You couldn't choose just one, right?
There was one,
but she only looked ahead like a racehorse.
She still doesn't know after 25 years.
It's not so bad.
At least...
she won't break up with me.
Hey.
You can sit here.
- Excuse me? - We're done.
- You're not... - Goodnight.
- Let's go. - Good luck.
Good luck.
Good luck with what?
Good luck with my business.
Is it obvious I drank a lot?
A little.
You smell of alcohol too.
I do?
(Conference Room Department of Legal Studies)
(May 1993)
It's you, right?
It is. The hottie who came to see Jae Hyun.
Are you here for him again?
Yes. I have something to give him.
Give it to me. I'll give it to him.
I don't want to.
There is a way to see Jae Hyun every day.
Join our club.
What's the club?
Solidarity in Philosophy.
The club name is a bit...
It's quite a grand name,
but we simply study philosophy.
I don't know much about philosophy.
Neither do we.
That's why we gather. To learn.
It's a university club and not a college of law club,
so you can join too.
Jae Hyun is an administrator, so he comes to all the seminars.
He's in the club room more than in the legal studies room.
He is?
(Today's Book)
We leave memos here telling so-and-so to come somewhere.
It's Jae Hyun.
(Jae Hyun, the Island)
That's a bar. It's his regular spot.
This wall will tell me where he is.
Some people use codes so others can't figure it out.
But in general, everyone is welcome.
It's pretty much a "come one, come all,"
"let's drink till we drop" attitude.
Also, Jae Hyun is always in this bookstore.
(Today's Book)
(Woo Jin, music store at 9pm Jung Yun, Manmitoo)
(Joon Suk, the clubhouse at noon)
(Today's Book)
Is there a tall, good-looking college student...
Most of the guys who come here are tall and good looking.
But he stands out among them all.
He's a junior pre-law student, Han Jae Hyun.
- Jae Hyun? - When is he coming?
Who knows?
What kind of books does he usually buy?
What a coincidence.
Do you come here often too?
- Out of my way. - What?
You're blocking the path.
Okay.
("Even Birds Leave the World")
- Thank you. - Sure.
("Even Birds Leave the World")
Bye.
- Hey. - Yes?
Jae Hyun said to give you this.
("The End of That Summer")
(Close to You)
I keep going on my tippy toe
But I still can't see you
At times, when the wait becomes too long
I start to resent you
Wispy clouds float across the distant sky
What song must I sing
For it to reach your ears?
We did not meet, so we will not part
We did not part, but we can't hold hands
When the wait becomes too long like this
I start to resent you
Is something wrong?
What is it?
I'm deciding on the order...
of what to tell you first.
I've decided.
Tell me.
Young Min is coming in two days,
but I haven't gone grocery shopping yet.
Hey, seriously.
I should go before they close.
She never changes. Seriously.
Why isn't she wearing gloves?
She isn't dressed warmly either.
(Winter ice cream 3 for a dollar, Water 2L 6-pack 2 dollars)
What's this?
Who is this for?
It's for me.
What?
Why are you drinking such a large bottle of alcohol?
What else can I do?
About what?
He rarely comes as is,
but he'll come even less frequently now.
Why?
I shouldn't be doing this.
I need to stay focused, but I keep thinking about him.
I can't handle this, Granny.
Where are you?
Did you fall into the water you went to buy?
What's taking you so long?
Get over here quickly.
Thank you.
Oh, no.
I'll take this to the entrance.
No, it's okay.
It's heavy.
Thank you.
It's my pleasure.
Have we met before?
I have a common look, so I hear that all the time.
It's not that common.
Really? Do you think so?
Then why do they always mistake me for others? That's strange.
I'll go now. Have a good night.
- Thanks. - It's fine.
She went in. Shall we go?
- Yes, let's go. - Okay.
May I ask what your relationship is with her?
No, you may not.
Yes, sir.
- Joon Woo. - Yes?
Report to work here for a few days...
starting tomorrow.
- Sorry? - Watch where she goes...
and what she does.
Yes, sir.
You're not stalking her. It isn't a crime.
Tell yourself it's with good intentions.
Yes, sir. Understood.
She's a friend from college.
She was a kind and smart kid.
(To Jae Hyun)
(Thinking of the moments as pretty as the flowers)
(will give me the strength to go on. Sorry and thank you, Jae Hyun)
Here are the gloves you asked for.
They're the latest designs.
I see.
They're for your wife, right?
No, they're not.
Yes, sir. I understand.
There's no reason to tell her.
Yes, of course.
I'll take these.
Yes, sir.
Hey.
Sir.
Are you keeping an eye on her?
Yes, I am,
but Ms. Yoon is...
Is what?
She's in front of our office.
What?
(Firing people is murder! Cancel the layoffs!)
Young Min, stop leaving me on read.
This is wrong.
(Firing people is murder! Cancel the layoffs!)
Should we keep watching her?
Let's stop.
Yes, sir.
Good intentions, my foot. I'm just stalking her.
Sorry for making you do this, Joon Woo.
Not at all, sir.
What about your appointment today? Should I cancel it?
- What appointment? - With the president of Seoul Bank.
- I should do my job. - Yes, sir.
How pretty.
"Top Three Handsome Middle-Aged Sons-in-law"
"of Conglomerate Owners That I Wish Were My Man."
Give me a break.
He's good looking. He could be an actor.
He's young but he's a vice president already.
- Didn't you know? - What?
He's CEO Jang Seo Kyung's husband.
- Jang Seo Kyung. - You're right.
The chairman was deadset against their marriage,
but she threw a fit and said she couldn't live without him.
That's how they got married.
He went to jail for the chairman...
and was recently released.
What is that? Let me see.
- Let me see too. - Wait.
- Stop that. - Let go!
What's your problem? I was reading that.
- I couldn't see. - Seriously.
- You should share. - Gosh.
("Top Three Handsome Middle-Aged Sons-in-law")
("of Conglomerate Owners That I Wish Were My Man")
("Owner's Only Daughter and a Regular Employee's Romance")
There is no way I will settle.
Call a school violence hearing.
But...
His father said not to...
Exactly. You should've stopped him.
Even if Joon Seo's grandfather said that,
- you should've stopped him. - I'm sorry.
I told him over and over that we couldn't do that,
but he said he was still a young child, and...
Let me make it clear so you don't get the wrong idea.
Even if my son wasn't the victim,
I would've demanded we follow the rules.
If we ignore this,
it would make a mockery of the school.
This school should be different from other schools.
Isn't that why the parents go out of their way...
to send their kids here?
That is also the reason I donate such large sums of money.
("Top Three Handsome Middle-Aged Sons-in-law")
("Owner's Only Daughter and a Regular Employee's Romance")
Hello?
Ms. Yoon, I'm so sorry.
What's wrong?
They're holding a school violence hearing for Young Min.
They are? Why?
Joon Seo's mother came by.
She said...
not to give you her contact information.
I don't think she plans to settle the matter with you.
Then...
what about...
his father's contact information?
- He had offered... - I'm sorry.
I can't give you his information either.
- I'm really sorry. - Then...
when is the hearing being held?
This will be a great opportunity for Seoul Bank as well.
Okay. Let's do that.
Thank you.
It's okay. Take it.
Excuse me.
Hey, what's up?
Dad, are you with Mom?
No, why?
I wanted to ask Mom what she said.
What do you mean?
They're holding a school violence hearing.
It's Mom's fault.
Yes. The president of Seoul Bank.
Okay.
What is he up to?
May I meet with Ms. Jang Seo Kyung?
Do you have an appointment?
- I don't, but... - Then sorry,
but you need an appointment.
Is she upstairs though?
I can't tell you that.
Then...
- what about Mr. Han Jae Hyun? - The same goes for him.
You can't see him without an appointment.
Hey.
What's up?
What is it?
You can't do this here.
No. This isn't about the protest.
Please let me contact her.
You can't be in here. Please leave.
- No. That's not it. - You need to leave.
- No... - Get out. Now.
What are you doing?
I told you to leave it alone.
Why must I do that?
It's not big enough of a deal to ruin a person's life.
You fire workers...
and report them for obstruction of business...
without even thinking twice.
Why are you worried about someone else's life?
He's a kid.
He's only 14.
You've fired a truckload of heads of households...
with children much younger than him.
I just want to follow the rules.
I'm not punishing the punk...
who messed with my baby.
Of course, I can't say that didn't play a part.
Young Min.
Please, tell me why you did it.
I don't care if they have the hearing.
Why don't you care?
You liked the school.
You liked the teachers and said the classes were fun.
Young Min.
I don't believe you did something bad.
I did it because I was just annoyed. I was annoyed with everything.
Just because?
How could you do that "just because"?
I'm a teenager now.
Barely, but I'm still a teenager.
They say all teenagers go through this stage.
Nothing is absolute. Not all teenagers are the same.
Anyway, Dad is coming tomorrow. What should I do?
(Mom)
(Mom...)
(Building 2)
Where's Seo Kyung?
She just left. She went to the school.
Don't worry about a thing.
We'll make sure word doesn't get out.
Of course.
It'll look bad if word gets out that he was a victim.
Ms. Yoon.
Please,
reconsider just this once.
- A child's future... - I'm doing this...
for the child's future, ma'am.
If a child does wrong,
it's the adults' duty to set them on the right path.
If we coddle them and let it go...
after they do something wrong,
it teaches them the wrong lesson.
It sets a bad example for the other kids too.
If you...
want to have a school violence hearing...
because my son hurt your son...
What?
Please take it out on me instead.
It's my fault...
for raising my child wrong,
so please take it out on me.
I'll take it all.
Did you say you'll take it all?
Yes. All of it.
Then go ahead. Do everything...
to calm my rage.
Please, I beg of you.
Please reconsider...
just this once.
Please get up.
What do you think you're doing?
Get up, Ji Su.
(When My Love Blooms)
I remember the past.
Ji Su.
It has been so long.
Goodnight, Ji Su.
Just know that I'm keeping my eye on her.
Am I the only one getting out unscathed?
I don't want you to get hurt.
I refuse.
I want to protect you.
