All language subtitles for [S01.E04] When My Love Blooms - Aflevering 4.English

Are you showing your loyalty
to your coworkers?

Or what? A sense of righteousness?

Why are you doing it?

Because I learned this from you.

That we should take the losing side.

MAY 1994

PUNISH THE CHAIRMAN!

FIGHT AGAINST LABOR REPRESSION

Good riddance.

What a scene. Is it over?

I heard you ordered
the forceful dispersal.

I told you to take care of it long before.

I was going to have a negotiation
as a mere formality

to place on record
that we took the proper steps.

Formalities, my foot.

Why would you even talk to them?

Why are you acting out of character?

Did they get something on you?

I came up with the plan
considering the public's opinion.

Are you afraid of malicious comments?

Do you think you're a celebrity?

Thanks to you, I've become
even more famous than celebrities.

Economic crime, corruption and graft,

and illegal tax evasion.

I'm a son of a bitch
who does all those things.

So now do you want to stop being a jerk

and become a graceful hunter?

If I were a hunter,

I wouldn't have chased
after the rabbits this way.

They are mostly housewives
in their 40s and 50s.

If we shove them off by force,
it will backfire for sure.

You're probably right.

Come back tomorrow morning.

I guess you want me

to save your face somehow.

But there are things
I need to think about.

-Just answer my question.
-My gosh.

What are you doing?

Do you have a husband?

No.

What about your parents?

I have none.

Do you not have a family?

I'm on my own.

That's just what you think.

So do you not have anyone
to stand guarantee?

Then you won't get released today.

Even if you had someone,

you wouldn't have been
released today anyway.

Reveal the truth of the Gwangju massacre!

Reveal the truth of the Gwangju massacre!

MAY 1994

Reveal the truth of the Gwangju massacre!

Gosh, I'm scared.

Reveal the truth of the Gwangju massacre!

We have to hurry
before they fire tear gas.

I need to go to Jae-hyun.

Where are you going?
I think they're about to fire.

Today is the May 18th memorial day,
so it will be fine.

-Have you lost your mind?
-You go on ahead.

Ji-soo!

Reveal the truth of the Gwangju massacre!

Reveal the truth of the Gwangju massacre!

Reveal the truth of the Gwangju massacre!

-Keep your head down!
-You jerk!

-Look down!
-Lower your head!

-Hey.
-You idiot!

-I told you to look down.
-Lower your head.

Do you have a lighter?

-What?
-Head down.

-I said, lower your head.
-Hey you!

If you do, hide it.

You'll be arrested
if you're caught with a petrol bomb.

-Gosh.
-Hey.

-Hey.
-Lower your head!

What's the name of your father?

The name of your father.

Yun Hyeong-gu.

Darn, it's stuck.

His workplace.

I said, his workplace.

Seoul Central District
Prosecutor's Office.

What a detailed lie.

Why don't you say it's the Blue House?

It's true.

What does he do there?

Is he a manager?

He's the chief prosecutor.

You're a crazy wench.

I was going to take your daughter home.

Forget it.

-Wait. Not now.
-Don't stop me.

Go see her later.

ABOLISH TEMPORARY EMPLOYMENT

Illegal demonstration,
obstruction of business,

and obstruction of justice.

You've got such a record.

Are you a professional
demonstrator or something?

I was dismissed unfairly and got arrested.

What does it have to do with today's case?

If I have experience of dismissal,

do I have to keep silent
even if I get fired today?

The employer is to blame
for the unfair dismissal.

You can't blame the fired employees.

Come on. We both know what's going on.

I've seen a lot of fake employees

who try to muddy the waters.

Anyway, Ms. Choi Seon-hui,
I need you to stay quiet and wait.

It will take a while.

Ms. Yun Ji-soo is still in there.

Some of them left with their guardians,

but those with records or identity issues

will be put in lockup.

Do you not know what Ji-soo's issue is?

No. I'm not sure about that.

I don't know anything about Ji-soo.

Like what classes she's taking
or who she's friends with.

I know nothing.

That's my point. You do have a problem.

What's the big deal about demonstrations?
You're making everyone around you suffer.

Hello? Today's Bookstore.

Yes, Mr. Kim.

We haven't gotten the book you asked for.

I'll get back to you as soon as we get it.

Okay. Bye.

Hey, try paging me. I think mine's broken.

Your pager is not broken.

You're the one who is broken.

Just give up on her.

Did you not hear?

Her father is the chief prosecutor.

What if he seeks ten years
in prison for you?

And you saw how he slapped his daughter.

It was a flawless full swing.

Finally. Now he's doing something.

Thank goodness.

Goodnight,

Ji-soo.

Jae-hyun.

You can't just leave like that.

Let's swap the shoes.

But you have really large feet.

How do you know that?

I saw the footprints in the snow
the other day.

Gosh.

You are really high-maintenance.

And you're quite sweet.

Your feet must hurt.

Let's swap back the shoes.

Ji-soo.

Yes?

I hate war films.

And I hate real wars even more.

Why are you talking about war films
all of a sudden?

The main character,
whether he's a general or an officer,

always issues orders from
somewhere in the center of the unit.

At the frontline,

some unknown soldiers
are used as human shields.

And even if they somehow survive,

they get killed instantly
by the enemies' swords or guns.

But no one in the battlefield

deserves to be killed by swords or guns.

Before they got killed,

they all were the lead roles
in their own lives.

I know it's just a movie,

but the fact that people are described
as tools or useless components

really bothers me.

By any excuse,

people can't trample on others.

That's one reason I do demonstrations.

I have no religion, but I believe in God.

So…

I believe all humans
are the children of God.

Ji-soo.

To God, every human being

is the apple of his eye.

Don't let anyone walk over you.

Even your family.

Because

you are…

the precious child of God.

You have really big feet.

Is that why you have such a big heart?

Do you want me to go
check up on her again?

-Let's just go.
-Yes, sir.

You're acting unusual

because of her, right?

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

That might be true.
She does remind me of the old days.

The things

I believed to be right.

They didn't systematically
participate in union activities

or try to jeopardize the company
by going on strike.

They are mostly someone's
mothers or grandmothers.

Just like you, or my mom.

Just shoving them off by force
isn't the right thing to do.

Why are you being so softhearted?

Why did you change? You're scaring me.

I will probably change even more.

What do you mean?

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

Why would you do that?

To be happy.

What do you mean?

Are you saying you weren't happy before?

This is about my belief.

What's the difference?

You're confusing me.
Why are you beating around the bush?

Whatever.

Just remember that
I'm keeping my eye on her.

CHAIRMAN JANG AND HIS FAMILY
WITH MANY BORROWED-NAME ACCOUNTS

I will release the women.

So you need to take care of this.

Do you think you can do it?

What do you want me to do with it?

The statute of limitations has expired.

You'll just need to pay some tax
and get criticized a little.

But there are also some criminal issues
like evasion of taxation

and securities exchange law violations.

Why? Are you afraid it will be harsh?

Not really. I think I've developed
a good tolerance for criticism.

You…

don't want me or Seo-gyeong
to be put in prison, do you?

No, sir.

I'll transfer my money
in the borrowed-name bank accounts

to your account for the time being.

Once things are settled,
I'll transfer them to Seo-gyeong's.

You don't have to worry
about the tax issues

for the transfer.

Okay, sir.

By the way,

who do you think leaked this information?

Director Hwang Hak-su

takes care of the borrowed-name accounts,
doesn't he?

He's done it for a long time.

But it's not Hak-su.

What matters is

who else has access to the information.

I will have Hak-su look into the issue.

I want you to check up
on the executives and stockholders.

Okay.

And Seo-gyeong says
there's something bothering her.

Are you playing around with someone
because I told you to enjoy yourself?

That silly girl

may seem unfaithful,
but she cares only for you.

So just end things with whoever it is
and comfort Seo-gyeong.

I don't want to see my daughter

shed tears.

GANGNAM POLICE STATION

-Oh dear.
-Let's go.

-See you.
-Bye.

-Let's go.
-Let's go eat soft tofu stew.

You were in lockup,
but it's still a prison.

Eating tofu didn't work for me before.

You don't have to brag
about your police record.

I do. Then at least people
won't make light of me.

So how did you get released?

It must not have been easy
because of your proud record.

The company asked
to release us on warning.

They want to negotiate again.

Then why did they arrest you
in the first place?

To threaten you or what?

Yes. I'm completely different.

I'm unbelievably selfish
and materialistic.

We're going to push out the temps
who are protesting.

It's strange.

What is?

Jae-hyun.

He said he'd push out the temps.

Then he proposed a negotiation.

He even seemed flustered

watching the forceful dispersal yesterday.

Then he had us released today.

I don't know if you're aware of this,

but Jae-hyun's reputation
is not that great.

Everyone from our school
always talks about

how he's changed.

They are extremely critical of Jae-hyun.

It's partly because
they are jealous of his rich in-laws,

but they just find it hard to believe that
he married a member of a chaebol family.

I guess he started to change

when he lost his father.

But I don't know the details.

A person going through a change

is like an entire universe
going through a Big Bang.

But you didn't change.

Even when you had the world
collapse around you.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring it up
and make you upset.

I just got worked up a little
talking about Jae-hyun.

VICE PRESIDENT HAN JAE-HYUN

Ms. Yun got released,
and the other workers as well.

MAY 1994

What are you going to do with Ji-soo?

What do you mean?

Do you not know what I mean?

You know she has feelings for you.

You either have to say yes or no.

Why are you being indecisive?

Yeong-u.

Actually I'm going out--

She wanders around looking for you
like a zombie all the time.

Don't you even feel bad for her?

What's the deal with you?

What about me?

What if I say no to her?

What are you going to do?

What can I do?

She wouldn't look my way anyway.

She never looks around.

She only looks forward.

That girl is so dedicated.
Is she Joan of Arc or what?

What are you…

What is this?

Is it something like Pandora's box?

I hope the negotiation goes well.

What about you?
Do you want to come back to work?

I got a job.

Really? I'm so happy for you.

Please tell me it's a full-time job.

BADA MUSIC ACADEMY

You promised to start yesterday.

How could you cancel it
at the last minute like that?

I'm sorry. Something urgent
came up yesterday.

That's not acceptable here.

We have to deal with parents,
not children.

Even if you're only a minute late,
we will get a call immediately.

-And we can never change the lesson time.
-Okay. I'll keep that in mind.

And make sure not to tell
any of the parents

that you dropped out of college.

Okay.

I heard you said
you'd clean up the place as well.

-Is that true?
-Yes. I'll try my best.

APPLICANTS FOR REINSTATEMENT
OF HYUNGSUNG SUPERMARKET

YOON JEONG-YUN, YOON JIN-SEO,
YOON JI-SEONG, YOON JI-YUN

You didn't apply for reinstatement.

No.

Is that because of me?

I found a part-time job.

You'd need a secure job.

A full-time job.
Isn't it what you demonstrated for?

Why did you make such a decision?

It was the other workers who earned it.

I only helped them a little.
I can't ride on their coattails.

They have been there

from beginning to end,
risking their lives. They deserve it.

I gave up halfway.

Under the pretense of livelihood.

Then instead of a job at the supermarket,

are you interested in another indoor job?

Did you make this offer

to other workers as well?

No.

Isn't this illegal?

It's my company, and I'm hiring
my employee. It's not illegal.

It will be a problem if you hire
someone who's not qualified.

What can a piano major do there?

And I dropped out of college,
so I'm a high school graduate.

Jae-hyun.

I'm not well-off,
and I'm leading a humble life.

And I think that's probably why

I could live with a light heart.

I was so busy worrying about my future

that I couldn't afford
to get lost in old memories.

But after I ran into you,

my heart got heavy.

It makes me keep looking back.

It gives me leaden feet.

I want my past
to stay beautiful as it was.

But you've changed, and I'm angry that
you are tainting my memories.

Then you shouldn't have left.

How can a breakup be a beautiful memory?

I still…

don't understand
why you left me like that.

They say a problem shared is a problem
halved, but it's the opposite for me.

It gets doubled because I have to see
my loved one in pain.

What's more painful
than losing someone you love?

Ji-soo.

I don't want to be nostalgic
of the old days.

Actually it's never been
a good memory for me.

It is a stone stuck in my heart.

It is a bone stuck in my throat.
How could I be nostalgic?

Just keep it as a happy memory.

Try to only remember the good things.

That's what I'll do as well.

With your silence

JUNE 1994

My lips have gone dry

As you turn away

I say goodbye

You're a music student.
Do you think I'm good?

I don't know much about guitars,
but I think you're good.

Do you want an encore?

Where's Jae-hyun?

-Do you want to know?
-Yes.

Pay 500 won.

Okay.

Did he not tell you
that he is running in an election?

Election?
For the Students' Union president?

No, for head of social affairs.

Social affairs?

I'm good at presiding
over meetings, though.

Presiding over meetings?

Yes. The person who speaks
over a microphone in the front.

That position
is in charge of demonstrations.

It's about presiding

and dealing with social affairs.

He has to fight for supply
in the meantime too.

Fight for supply?

Is this your first visit?

-Please come in.
-Fighting for supply.

In other words, a part-time job.

He pays his transportation fees,
food expenses,

and election funds by doing that.

He wouldn't have much money left.

-Agree.
-Ugly?

No, I said I agree.

I see.

Gosh, why would I say that?

But he'd make more money
if he gave private lessons.

I can tell why he's doing that instead.

Wait, isn't that…

Hwa-jin, the invincible.

If she fights the police man to man,
she never gets defeated.

Her hobby is taking helmets from them.

There's even a rumor

that she uses them to scoop rice at home.

So he's working there because of her?

No.

Think harder, will you?

He can meet the other students in secret

without having to go
to the department office.

It's called "KTOS."

-What's that?
-Killing two birds with one stone.

And he's quite rigid.

He doesn't like private lessons
because it's like a limb of capitalism.

Darn, he's so tiring.

He really must be tired.

PARK NO-HAE'S POEMS, THE DAWN OF LABOR

So you're hogging the fan all to yourself?

I'm sorry?

It was broken earlier.

I guess he dropped by.

Who dropped by?

Why were you sleeping here?

Because it was too hot.

Isn't it hot?

It's the hottest day on record.

Don't fan me. It doesn't help anyway.

Then you shouldn't work
in front of the main gate

on a hot day like this.

It's a hot day,

but I'm not tired,
thanks to a certain someone.

It's like my birthday today.

Is it your birthday?

No, I mean I feel happy
like it's my birthday.

When is your birthday?

The 29th…

of June.

It's just a few days away.

I know.

LONG-STAY WARDS

How dare you come here?

How dare you?

Get out of here!

You killed her.

If it hadn't been for you,
she wouldn't have died!

Get out. Get out of my sight!

Get lost!

Why is it my fault?

What did I do?

What could I have done?
What was I supposed to do?

I know you need someone to blame.

I know you want to take it out on me,
but that's enough.

It's not like it will
make her come back to life.

I know.

I shouldn't have been born.

That's what I wish.

I really wish I hadn't been born.

Gosh, he's doing this again.

Oh dear. Mr. Yun, are you all right?

Please don't cry.

I brought your favorite cookies.

Please stop crying.

What made you talk back to him today?

You're not usually like that.

LETTER OF ADMISSION
PIANO MAJOR, YUN JI-SOO

JANUARY 1993

What is this?

Ji-soo has been accepted to college.

You call this a college?

Are you proud to go to this school
after playing the piano the whole time?

It's just a shame. Keep a low profile.

What do I have to do

to be treated like a human being here?

You just don't like anything about me.

Do you want me
to crawl back into Mom's belly?

Ji-soo.

Keep going.

Ji-yeong says she will go
to the school of law instead of me.

Isn't that enough for you?

You will be able to save face
in front of your friends then.

You don't have to be like this anymore.

You can at least let me breathe.

It hasn't happened yet.

Ji-yeong didn't go to college yet.

Don't even breathe

until Ji-yeong gets into Seoul University.

I'll be there in 30 minutes. Get ready.

Yeong-min.

Yeong-min.

Open the door.

Go on ahead with Jun-seo.

I can't leave him alone in the hospital.

Okay.

Yeong-min.

He has the flu.

He's sick, and I guess
he didn't eat much either.

He seems exhausted.

I see.

Who are you, by the way?

My son is Yeong-min's classmate.

What is your son's name?

I know all of Yeong-min's friends.

Now that you're here, I should get going.

Bye.

That jerk.

TO SEOUL, JECHEON, YEONGJU

HWABON STATION

EMERGENCY MEDICAL CENTER

Did you not take care of him?

How could he pass out with the flu?

If you keep being like this,
I will have to take custody of him.

Don't you dare.
I'll bite you off if you do.

What a loving mom.

Then why would you deprive
your son of his dad?

You can't take Yeong-min today.
I'll take him with me.

I'm sorry, but Mother is on her way.

Son.

Jun-seo, have you been doing well?

Yes.

That was quite a short response.

You're just like your dad.

Where's your dad?

I think he's at school.

-Why?
-That punk passed out.

"That punk"?

The kid who threw a chair at me.

BUS 7021
SUSAEK TO MYEONG-DONG

-Please follow that bus.
-Okay.

Goodnight, Ji-soo.

Is it because of me?

The reason that you haven't been happy

is because you chose me, right?

Seo-gyeong.

I always said this to my dad.

The best choice I have ever made

is marrying you.

I really appreciate it.
That's why I'm making an effort.

It was the best choice for me,

but for you, it was just a good choice.

-Seo-gyeong.
-Stop talking.

The word "appreciate" explains everything.

She works at a hotel.

What does she do?

She plays the piano in the hotel lounge.

It's the hotel Jae-hyun frequents.

Right.

Do you think she's a gold digger
or something?

She started her job there a year ago.

That's when Mr. Han was still in jail.

Who knows?
She might have visited him in jail.

What's peculiar is

that she plays the piano wearing a mask.

She does?

She doesn't want to show her face?

Maybe I should teach her a lesson.

Are you available on Friday night?

Why are you asking?

There will be a private party
in the suite that night.

And the customer asked you

to play the piano for her.

-Me?
-Yes.

She specifically asked for you,
the pianist in a mask.

She says she likes your performance.

-Who is she?
-She's our VVVIP customer.

She said you'll find out who she is
once you come that night.

And she offered double pay.

She's having a party for this brand,
so she wants you to wear this dress.

You can return it after it's over.

This looks quite expensive.

-What if something happens to it?
-Why would such a thing happen?

You're coming, aren't you?

No.

I'm ordering you as your boss.

It's not just a party.
It's our brand's showcase.

I know I don't have to go.

There will be influencers
taking pictures for their social media.

That's what top global brands do.

Even I, the CEO, will be there,

and the vice president will not?

Seo-gyeong.

Can't you do this for me?

You spent all day in a hospital
for someone else's kid.

But you can't spare two hours
for your wife?

Is this what you call "making an effort"?

I'm not smart,
but I do have good intuition.

When I showed my love for you,

you said you appreciated me.

Why don't you apologize too?

Spend the rest of your life
apologizing to me.

-Gosh, it's been a long time.
-Hello.

Thank you for coming.

Where are you, Jae-hyun?

Okay. Make it quick.

Please have some of this.

You shouldn't put this on--

Oh no.

Are you all right? Goodness.

Are you all right?

Please hold on a minute.

Please keep playing.

I don't want the music to stop.

And the dress costs
way more than your pay,

so I'll take care of it for you.

But I'd like you to take off the mask.

You got red wine on a white dress,

so it looks somewhat grotesque.

SEPTEMBER 1994

Girl, you look amazing.

I know. Thank you.

Where are your parents?

-I didn't invite them.
-Why not?

This is no big deal.

It is a big deal.

You're giving this recital
after winning the famous competition.

-Even if I did, they wouldn't have come.
-No way.

Ji-yeong's college entrance exam
is coming up soon.

Gosh, they are unbelievable.

What about Jae-hyun?

-He's coming after the rally.
-Rally…

Can't he skip the rally just one day?

They need him there.

That stupid rally.

How can he save the world

when he can't even
save his own girlfriend?

I highly doubt that the world
saved that way will be beautiful.

Gosh, I'm furious.

Will you stop smiling?

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Where's your family?

That question again.

Ji-soo.

I didn't invite them.

Why not?

Because I'm not going to see them.

What do you mean?

You told me this.

I shouldn't let anyone

walk all over me.

Because I'm the precious child of God.

I'm not playing.

Why not? Are you ashamed?

Because you don't deserve it.

What?

For a cheap snobbish party like this,

my performance is just too precious.

I'll pay for the dress myself.

I won't put up with it anymore.

I won't let Dad hit me.

Why did he hit you?

I got caught listening to pop music.

He's already ashamed of my major,
so he can't accept cheap pop music.

He even threw my radio.

Jae-hyun.

I want to go to a beach.

How dare you come here? How dare you?

You killed her.

If it hadn't been for you,

she wouldn't have died!

Get out. Get out of my sight!

Get lost!

I'm sorry, Ji-soo.

I'm so sorry.

Jae-hyun.

Why is it me who survived?

It's a sin that I'm still alive.

So I should never feel happy

or complain.

I work my socks off every day,

but I can never pay off my sin.

I can't escape from it.

I just…

want to rest now.

I want to give up everything.

Gosh, this is so romantic.

First time riding a train?

Yes. Can we have eggs with soda too?

Snack carts will come by, right?

I believe…

those who survived

survived for a reason.

You survived because there's something
that only you can do in the world.

So you staying alive

might be a blessing for others.

So, Ji-soo, you can do whatever you want.

You can take a break,

or cry.

When things are tough,

you don't have to put up with them.

I will stay by your side.

Why would you stay by my side?

I will stay in my place,

and you will stay in yours.

I know.

It's obviously a deviance.

You're my first love.

I know I can't justify
an inappropriate relationship.

But why can't I…

turn away from you?

Why can't I bury you in my old memory?

I've been thinking.

And our past had the answer.

You said this before.

You said your belief…

and your world was me.

There's something
I couldn't tell you back then.

To me, you were my dream.

I met my lost dream again.

So I couldn't give it up…

or run away from it.

Because that's what a dream is.

This is a dream.

So you'll soon wake up from it.

It was a dream.

It was just a dream.

You know, right?

That I was with another guy.

So don't get too serious.

They say some people

end up reuniting with each other
no matter what happens.

When did that car start following us?

What I fear the most is
him ruining his life because of me.

So I decided to avoid my biggest fear.
