All language subtitles for [S01.E03] When My Love Blooms - Aflevering 3.English

Please

reconsider your decision, ma'am.

If you're doing this whole thing

because my son messed with yours…

Please take it out on me instead.

I'm responsible
for not teaching my son properly.

So whether it's wrath or insult,
I'll readily accept any punishment.

All right, then. Try something…

to make me feel better.

I beg you.

Please forgive my son

just this once.

Please stand up.

What do you think you're doing?

Get up, Yun Ji-soo.

What is this? Explain yourself.

What is this situation?

Ms. Jang…

Could you escort Ms. Yun out
and give us some privacy?

Sure.

I told you not to make
an issue out of this again.

You pretended like
you were the most righteous man,

talking about the kid's future and all,

but was this about a woman?

Who is this woman
that you called on so desperately?

A junior from my college.

Was she your first love?

Like the damn story from Love Letter?

It's just a fight between kids,
so I didn't want to bring up our matters.

But I guess I don't have a choice now.

What are you talking about?

If you don't cancel
the school violence committee hearing,

that guy, Se-hwi,
will never get to work as a model again.

He has nothing to do with this.

But he has something to do with you.

You're going to ruin
that young guy's bright future over this?

I want to return

what you just said back to you.

Do you have any idea
how much money they donated?

If Jun-seo transfers to another school,

we'll have to stop the construction
of our gym immediately.

And we'll have to dismiss
four to five teachers.

-Why did he hit Jun-seo of all people?
-I'm sorry.

But I'm beginning to think

it must've been very lonely for Yeong-min.

This is a very desolate area,

so everyone here gets lonely
and wants to go home.

Not all lonely people resort to violence.

Where's Ms. Jang?

We will not hold
the school violence committee hearing.

Did Ms. Jang agree to--

If you change this decision again,

I will transfer Jun-seo.

I'll drop you off on the way.

It's okay.

We caused you too much trouble.

You did. It hurts a little.

My wrists and knees are in pain.

So get in the car.

Your joints won't hurt that way.

No, it's not that my joints hurt.

I'm not that old yet.

I'm just saying.

My gosh.

You can drop me off here.

I can go alone from here.

I'll drop you off at Seoul Station.

No, I'll get off at this station.

There's no place to buy shoes around here.

I can walk in these.

It's not like I didn't see you.

I can't stand to see you
walk around like that.

I mean, you aren't a poor child.

A grown-up like you
shouldn't walk around in broken heels.

Anyway, are you all right?

About what?

With Ms. Jang.

Are you all right?

You bowed your head twice,

and you even knelt down today.

I can do that hundreds
and tens of thousands of times

if my son won't have to cry.

That's my way of love.

Helping his eyes stay dry.

So I understand Ms. Jang too.

We just have different ways
of protecting our love.

I'm telling you this just in case,

but I didn't stop the hearing
because it was you.

He keeps denying it,

but it seems like
Jun-seo has been bullying Yeong-min.

He already caused trouble
back in elementary school

playing a leader and bullying other kids.

His mother is indifferent,

and his grandpa on his mom's side
is always on his side,

so I guess he never learned to be humble.

I know I sound shameless and brazen,

but I'll try my best
to have a talk with Jun-seo.

You should try to talk to Yeong-min too.

I can give you a ride home.
How can you walk in those shoes?

It only takes a minute if I run.

I think I have extra shoes in my car.
One second.

I'm fine, really.

I'll take these.

These are for men,
so they'll be a little big for you,

but it'll be better
than walking in broken heels.

I'm all right, really.

And how can I return these?

You don't have to.

You can just wear them
when you take out the trash.

These aren't expensive at all,
so think of it as a gift.

-Okay?
-It's too much.

DECEMBER 1993

Are you having a concert or what?
Why are you so late?

My dad won't let me go on a trip,

so I had to sneak out.

You fall down all the time.
How can you be in a protest?

Follow me closely.

Don't look around.
Just follow my footsteps.

Are you all right?

What now?

Whoa, your face is about to blow up.

Everyone thinks you drink really well.

But you can't fool me like everyone else.

I only keep my eyes on you.

Are you…

Annie from Misery?

How did you know?

Darn it.

I thought you were from Love Letter,

but you were from Misery.

Everyone thinks that I like
romance movies,

but I like horror, thriller,
and slasher films.

That doesn't mean I hate Love Letter.

Isn't it great?

The last scene is really touching,

and the snowy field scene
is heartbreaking.

You have really pretty eyelashes.

Sleep well, Jae-hyun.

Goodness.

Gosh, it's cold.

JAE-HYUN LOVES JI-SOO

Tell me about
Han Jae-hyun's version of Love Letter.

I really love romance films too.

So tell me.

I found out she was the other kid's mom
when I went to the school,

then I found out she had been
raising her son with difficulty

although he's the top student there.

So I figured her life would get tougher
if her son got in trouble.

-That's all?
-Why don't you discipline Jun-seo first?

His bad behavior
from his elementary school days is back.

Are you saying he did that
because of Jun-seo?

Most likely.

Well, I told you.

That's why I asked you
to pay more attention to him.

I'm not the type of person

who can discipline someone.

I'll pay more attention.

I'll pick him up on Saturdays
whenever I can.

You should've been doing that already.

Anyway, honey.

Why won't you ask

about that model and me?

Does it not bother you?

Of course,
it's not something to celebrate,

but I'm partially responsible.

I was in prison for four years,

and before then, I was busy with work.

Is that all? Aren't you angry?

I think you have something to say to me,
so I'll ask.

Why did you see another man

while I was

locked up in a dark place?

Because I got lonely.

I don't have any friends or siblings.

All I have is

my dad and you.

But both of you weren't there for me.

So please

don't make me feel lonely.

I hate being lonely

or having a one-sided crush on someone.

It feels just awful.

Mr. Han looks great in suits,

so he would look good
in these basic suits too.

Everyone knows
Jae-hyun looks good in suits.

But he has too many basic ones.

It should be made with different materials
or have a unique design.

Yes, I'll let my manager know
once she gets here.

Anyway, did the gloves fit you well?

-What do you mean?
-Mr. Han came by, and--

Jin-yeong.

What is she talking about?

Did Jae-hyun get something here?

Something for a woman?

Well, it's…

Show me.

Let me see
what my husband's taste is like.

A junior from my college.

Get up, Yun Ji-soo.

Tell Ms. Kim to come in.

What's wrong?

Number one.

You knew where Ji-soo was,
but you kept it from me.

Number two. You liked Ji-soo.

Which one is it?

Hey, stop talking nonsense.

You actually met Yun Ji-soo?

Is she doing okay? No big troubles?

Ji-soo's son and Jun-seo
go to the same school.

Gosh, Ji-soo must have
married into a rich family.

I was scared the story would be
something like

how she got divorced, became dirt poor,

and got beaten up by her husband.

So? Is she still pretty?

So it was number two, you punk.

-Number three.
-What's number three?

It seems like
Ji-soo had a huge crush on me.

Did she bring me up?

Gosh.

Hey, one second.

Take your time.
It won't come out if you rush.

Yes, ma'am.

Oh, Yu-ri can't have her lesson today?

Oh, well. Okay.

It's all right.

Yes, thank you.

Hello, ma'am.

You wanted me to give lessons
to Ha-yeong's sister, too.

I see. Is that so?

That's too bad.

Then give me a call next time.
Yes, thank you.

Ji-soo.

Hey, it has been a while.

How long has it been?

About four days, I think.

Right, is that so?

Hey, wait.

My car will be here soon. Wait one moment.

No, I'm fine.

I know that you're fine,
so I'll just lend you my umbrella.

I'm really fine. I can--

You can probably run, but it's a cold day.

Wait a moment. It'll be here soon.

And I wasn't here to do something weird.

I'm just leaving early
after grabbing a drink with a friend.

I never asked.

Right? No, you didn't ask.

I thought you did.

Hey, can you open the trunk?

It's okay, really.

And it'll be a hassle to return it later.

You don't have to give this back either.
I have many umbrellas.

In that case…

Thank you.

Goodbye.

Yun Ji-soo.

What about your bar?

-I closed it.
-Why?

Because it's raining.

I want a drink served by someone else.

Jae-hyun?

Yes.

Where? How?

His son goes to the same school
as Yeong-min.

That's a pretty renowned school

if Hyungsung's grandson goes there.

You already knew

whom he married?

Yes, I read an interview in a magazine.

Oh, that interview.

I read it too.

So did you meet him?

Yes.

What's he like?

Is he still handsome?

Handsome? No way.
He's not free from aging either.

I thought he'd be handsome
even after he aged,

like those Hollywood actors.

Well, he does look
a bit like George Clooney.

No, no way. How does he look like him?

They have the same eyes.
Their eyes crease when they smile.

Everyone who's his age
gets eye wrinkles when they smile.

It's different from wrinkles.
They look much deeper.

They got deeper because he's old.

No.

There's something sexy
and dignified about him.

Yun Ji-soo,
your blind love lasts a long time.

DECEMBER 1993

Fine. That was my mistake.

Isn't he seriously too handsome?

You're driving me insane.
How is he handsome?

He's way too thin,
he's like a bean sprout.

Look at his legs.

It looks like a ballet performance

instead of foot volleyball
when he plays it.

That's why he's the weakest link.

He was performing ballet.

-Okay, here we go.
-My ball. My ball.

What are you doing? Ballet?

Why can't you catch the ball?

-You called it out.
-When, you idiot?

It wasn't coming at me.

Jae-hyun finally looks like
a college student.

Jae-hyun this, Jae-hyun that.
Are you narrow-sighted?

Is he all you can see?

I hope he keeps playing sports
instead of protesting.

You're asking a dog to stop taking walks.

There's no dog who's that handsome.

You aren't just blinded by love now.
This is an illness.

You can go home.

Do you want me
to come and see Yeong-min with you?

Train rides can be rough.

It's okay.

My blind love
is a much more serious illness.

An incurable illness.

Hey, Dong-jin.

Where are you, you jerk?

You haven't gone home yet?

I thought you went to take a dump,
but did you run to make me pay?

-What?
-Hey, man.

Are you really broke these days?

You keep asking me how much lawyers make

and keep doing things you haven't done.
This isn't like you.

Anyway, Dong-jin.

Do you need a tutor to give piano lessons
for your kids?

My kids? Of course I do. Sure.

One is a year old
and the other is three years old,

so it's about time, isn't it?

And what's more, they're both boys.

Yes, exactly.

"Exactly"? What are you talking about?

Anyway, Dong-jin.

What? What now?

When do you think it'll rain again?

What kind of crap is this?

Go ask the Meteorological Administration.
You little punk.

CLASS RANK, 11TH OUT OF 31
OVERALL RANK, 50TH OUT OF 150

MESSAGE FROM DAD

Yeong-min, isn't it about time
you got your report card?

I'm here, Jun-seo. Come downstairs.

Yes, okay.

You're Yeong-min, aren't you?

Do you remember me?

I'm Jun-seo's dad.

Hello.

Hey.

Am I making you uncomfortable?

Oh, because I might be on Jun-seo's side?

Not all dads take their sons' side.

I always take the losing side.

I really wanted to tell you this.

I'm sorry.

But it was my fault.

Not all things are
about winning, losing, right, or wrong.

In that aspect,
I'm sure you aren't the only one at fault.

How do you know?

I just know.

At this age, you can see some things
without seeing it.

While we're on the subject,

it seems like
you're worried about something.

Does Jun-seo still bully you?

I see.

But that's not the only reason.

My grades have dropped a lot.

Yeong-min.

I watched Ms. Kim Soo-mi
and Mr. Paik Jong-won's recipe videos

and made these all night.

Try some.

I'm not hungry.

Come on, please try some.

Here. No matter how delicious
your school meals are,

it's not that great.

Oh, wait.

Auntie Hye-jeong got this,

saying you must be reaching
your growth spurt.

Isn't it good?

Jun-seo's dad…

seemed much different from Jun-seo.

Is that so?

How does he seem?

He seems nice and warmhearted.

He looked kind of cold to me.

I was never jealous
of how Han Jun-seo was rich,

but I was a bit jealous of his dad.

But you have an amazing mom.

Hey, Yeong-min.

I hope

you only worry about the things
kids your age worry about.

What do you mean?

"What will happen if I do this?

I shouldn't do that, right?

Okay. I'll hold back a little more."

Please stop doing that.

When you're in pain, say so.

"Why does everyone pick on me?"

Say something like that too.

I'm sure Jun-seo threw many things at you,

and that's why you threw a chair at him.

But you kept it only to yourself,

while adults were busy
talking about how you threw the chair.

Yeong-min.

You aren't an adult.

Don't put up with things
and tolerate things all alone.

That's cheating, and it's even illegal.

But you're alone.

You have to make money alone,

and raise me alone too.

I practically don't have
a grandmother or a grandfather.

You have to do everything alone.

But when something happens to me,

you have to stop everything
and come to me all alone.

That's why you should tell me everything.

You're the only one for me, and I for you.

Exactly.

I'm the only one for you,

so if I get expelled,

Dad might come and take me.

Yeong-min.

No one can take you.

You probably didn't know this,

but I'm, you know,

like Black Widow
or Captain Marvel who you like.

I'm as strong as those characters.

Hi-yah! Goodness.

Are you all right? Did it hurt?

It's not because it hurt.

I heard you went back to work.
Why is the situation the same?

I told you to get rid of those women.

Are you protesting against me?

No, sir.

Why are you making him do that himself?

Ask your subordinates.

No one is better than him
at getting rid of people.

Why? Don't you want to work?

I do, sir.

In that case, you get a week
to get rid of them.

We can't keep that mess
in front of our office.

Foreign buyers come and go all the time.

Yes, sir.

You left those women there
even after I told you to get rid of them,

but met with the president of Seoul Bank?

Do you need money?

I don't think he put a tail on me.

I heard he has
amazing connections with everyone

from secretaries of assemblymen
to Madam Jung of Cheongdam.

It must be true.

I'm not shocked.
That's how he built up this company.

The security camera at the Police Agency
might call him a senior.

And I have to avoid
getting caught on that camera.

So we have to make a move
without making moves. Can you do that?

Yes, I'll become an invisible man.

And please get me the list
of temporary employees who got fired.

I need to find someone.

RESUME
YUN JI-SOO

What's with this woman?

Doesn't it look like
she approached him on purpose?

She first began to work here
while Mr. Han was in prison,

so we can't be sure.

Does Jae-hyun know?

Unless she told him,

it won't be easy to find out.

There are over 1,000 temps
who were dismissed.

And we'll keep it that way.

She got divorced,
worked at a supermarket, then got fired.

He'd pity her to death once he finds out.

It destroys my pride to see him
having an affair with someone like this.

It looks like he's really in love.

Okay. Bring up your son properly,
and stay healthy.

I'm so sorry.

-You've done well, Ji-soo.
-I'm sorry.

Come on. We know how you feel.
No need to apologize.

Just make sure you don't forget us.

I won't. I'll never forget.

The management
of Hyungsung Supermarket, wake up!

-Wake up! Wake up!
-Wake up! Wake up!

Layoffs are murder! Revoke the layoffs!

-Revoke! Revoke!
-Revoke! Revoke!

The management
of Hyungsung Supermarket, wake up!

I heard it'll rain tomorrow.
May I see you briefly?

I need that umbrella.

And I have to talk to you too.

That's odd. I heard it would rain today.

Thanks for the umbrella.

Are you sure
you don't want something to eat?

I already ate.

Why did you want to talk to me?

Is it about the kids' school?

No.

Then what is it?

I'm not sure if you know,

but I'm the vice president
of Hyungsung Supermarket.

And I recently found out you were laid off

after working there
as a temporary employee.

You don't have to tell me
about your situation, however...

I wanted to ask you to stay away
from the protest at the headquarters.

Why should I?

I was fired unfairly too.

We'll take legal measures.

As far as I'm concerned,

we didn't do anything illegal.

I don't want you to suffer from damage.

I can find another job for you.

Are you telling me to save my own neck?

No.

I'm sure your priority
is bringing Yeong-min up.

You found out everything.

Did you run
a background check or something?

You seem like a different person

than the one I used to know.

Yes.

I'm completely different.

I'm unbelievably selfish
and materialistic.

We're going to get rid of
the temps who are protesting

for going on an illegal strike,

occupation without permission,

and obstruction of business.

So...

you should stay out.

No.

Are you showing your loyalty
to your coworkers?

Or what? A sense of righteousness?

You won't get any money from this.

Why are you doing it?

Because I learned this from you.

That we should take

the losing side.

JANUARY 1994

-Hey, Ji-soo.
-Is something going on?

Jae-hyun and others are in Hyeonjeo-dong,
a slum where we volunteer at,

and they called us
because of an emergency.

-A slum?
-We volunteer there.

Like we do at a farm.

You do that?

We do all kinds of campaigns.

-I have to go. Bye.
-Bye.

PHILOSOPHY UNITED

-Bye!
-Hey! Give me my ttakji back!

Give me my ttakji!

-Get them!
-Move aside!

Move aside!

-Move aside!
-You jerks!

Forward!

Hey!

You crazy jerks. Break everything!

Goodness.

Didn't Yeong-u tell you?

Tell me what?

About why we're here today.

You aren't dressed…

Oh, I didn't know. I'm sorry.

You ruined your good clothes.

Great work.

So Jae-hyun, why do you protest…

I mean, why do you do these campaigns?

You have no time to study
or spend free time like others.

You always get chased and hurt.

How do you live like that?

To stay on the losing side.

Everyone wants to be on the winning side,

so it's always lonely and sad
for the losers.

I'm going to take the side
of people who lose

every single fight.

You said we should
take the side of the people

who lose every single fight.

That's how I learned.

You aren't in a situation
to take any sides.

In the end, you might lose.

I don't care.

I haven't won that many times anyway.

I haven't won a lot,

but I was never ashamed of my life.

And I don't want to change that
because of you of all people.

It's somewhere here.

Where do you mean?

Hyeonjeo-dong.

The neighborhood where
the last bit of my conscience lived.

There's a lot of fine dust today, sir.

I can easily win against fine dust

when it comes to harmfulness.

Goodness, don't say that.

You're right.

I'm sure fine dust is offended.

They don't mess with other people's lives.

Did something happen today?

HANYANG SURETY

HYANG RECORD SHOP, SINCHON CHINESE FOOD

I'll take your side.

You take the side of people who lose,

so you must be lonely too.

That's why I'll be on your side.

It's too tough to be on my side.
You won't be able to do it.

I felt really weird and heartbroken

at Hyeonjeo-dong today.

But after I heard what you said,

my heart keeps racing…

and it feels like something is burning up.

That's why I told you not to come.

It's not a place for you,

and I got a lot of people on my side.
Go back to your place.

I have to get to a meeting.
Take the bus and go home.

It's me. Ji-soo.

I'm in front of your house.

I can't go home like this today.

I need to tell you something.
I might die if I don't.

And I want to hear something from you too.

I'll wait. I'm not leaving until you come.

BUS STOP

Aren't you a piano major?
Why aren't you wearing gloves?

They're ice cold.

Don't come anywhere near
the organization or protests.

This isn't a time
for the entire country to put up a fight,

and you don't have
any desperation or belief.

You're my belief and my world.

So I'm going to do everything
you do with your belief,

I'm going to be on your side,

and I'm going to live
in a world where you live.

I won't change my mind,
so don't try to persuade me.

Come to room 310 in my department.

It's a club I made.

Is it another philosophy club?

No, a film club.

And…

we're dating as of today.

Jae-hyun was on my side,

he was my belief,

and my world.

My belief

no longer exists in this world.

We offered to negotiate,

so all of the leaders will be here.

And many others will come to show support.

But we have nothing to offer.

They won't ask for anything else
other than reinstatement.

But we can't accept that.

This is just a formality, a show,

and building history.

The negotiation will be over
in 30 minutes.

Then we'll send in the police
as soon as it's over.

Let's do that.

I never got a proper education,
and I didn't graduate from college.

I'm not sure if I can do a good job.

Don't worry. You know this issue best.

You know what everyone wants.

Gosh, should I take a calming pill?

They suddenly wanted to talk.

I'm getting nervous again.

I heard the new vice president
is very wicked.

I heard he isn't all that bad.

That he's smart and rational.

Hey, I'm worried because he's smart.

Who knows what he'll do?

And he's the chairman's son-in-law,

so he's on the company's side, period.

But still, this is huge progress.

They wouldn't even meet us before.

I'm sure it'll go well.
The world has changed a lot.

Right?

All right, then.
Let's grab just one drink.

I need a drink to go to sleep.

You're going to negotiate with them?
Who says you can?

And ignore the CEO?

You told me to handle this, remember?

Is it because you spent
four years in there?

Why do you do strange things?

It's a formality,

and the result won't be different.

Report back on
every detail of the negotiation.

All right. I'm going out to get some air.

Ji-soo.

Yes?

I don't think…

we're going to win.

But we won't go down without a fight.

I don't care if you win or lose.
I'll be on your side to the end.

SAMGEORI SUPERMARKET

THE END OF THAT SUMMER
BY LEE SEONG-BOK

FROM JI-SOO, TO JAE-HYUN AGAIN,
JANUARY 1994

RESUME
YUN JI-SOO

Seo-gyeong,
why are you calling at this late hour?

Please cancel the police crackdown
scheduled for today.

Pardon? I'm already done
talking to the superintendent.

I'll make the decision again
after the negotiation.

But why are you suddenly…

Please do that.

Yes, sir.

No matter what tempts us

Let us live like unshaken rocks

Those who get shaken by the wind

Are reeds that have not taken root

The rock rooted deeply in the earth...

POLICE

It's the chairman's order.
Don't interfere.

Are you showing your loyalty
to your coworkers?

Or what? A sense of righteousness?

You won't get any money from this.
Why are you doing it?

Because I learned this from you.

That we should take the losing side.

PUNISH THE CHAIRMAN!

FIGHT AGAINST LABOR REPRESSION

I'm on my own.

Every time you did something strange,
she was always there.

I still don't understand
why you left me like that.

Maybe I should teach her a lesson.

To be happy...

I will be making choices
that are different from what I've done.
