All language subtitles for [S01.E05] When My Love Blooms - Aflevering 5.English

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.

I have to go now.

Jae-hyun.

Yes?

I'm sorry to kill the mood,

but I'm so cold, and I'm starving.

Yun Ji-soo.

Are… Are you sulking? Are you?

Gosh, I thought you were a big girl,
but you're a total baby.

Jae-hyun, are you sulking?

You aren't, are you?

-Whatever.
-Sorry.

Hey, you're going to catch a cold.

CENTRAL MARKET

That's it.

This is seonji?

Yes.

Like when people get a bloody nose…

That squishy blood clot?

People are so cruel.

They even take blood from cows
and eat that too?

Aren't you going to eat that? It's good.

What?

Can you find this in Seoul too?

I'll buy it for you there.

It's so good.

Jae-hyun.

Weren't we kind of cute together
back then?

Not just "kind of."

We were very cute together.

THE INCIDENTS AND SUBJECTS
PORTRAYED IN THIS DRAMA

WERE PARTIALLY REWRITTEN
TO ADD THEATRICAL EFFECT

You should go home.

Ji-soo.

I meant it when I told you yesterday
that I'll stay by your side.

It was a dream.

It was just a dream.

I already woke up.

-So you should also--
-I'm not asking for anything else.

I just want to protect you

so that you won't cry again.

Don't worry.

I only cry in dreams.
I rarely cry in real life.

Then don't ever cry.

If you do, I'll come and find you.

Well, that sounded like
lyrics from a carol.

Get some rest.

Where's Seo-gyeong?

She hasn't come home yet.

You're here. Come in.

I have to go back soon for the film shoot.

What time is that?

Around three o'clock.

Do you have to do that?

It bothers me to see you
work with all those girls.

They aren't women to me.

I'll give you the money.

I'm not doing it for money.

Then why?

For a sense of achievement?

Are you a high school kid?

See you later.

Wait.

-Go get whatever you need.
-It's fine.

It's not fine.

I don't like your bag. Throw it out.

Yes, sir.

Where are you?

I'm at home, sir.

Then come over for a second.

Yes, sir.

Are you well prepared
for the government inspection?

Yes, sir.

Will they burn you alive
or boil you in hot water?

They're all determined
to find a fault with you.

It's all right.

Those assemblymen live to snarl at others.

You can go bow your head saying,

"Dear honored assemblymen,"
and butter them up.

-You know what to do.
-Yes, sir.

Why is Seo-gyeong being like that again?

Did you not end it with that other woman?

You aren't scared of me, are you?

I'm frightened of myself.

When it comes to my child,
I can never seem to control my temper.

If you make my child cry tears of blood,

you'll be thrown out of this family
right away.

All you can take
is the underwear you're wearing.

Are you willing to risk it?

Hello?

-Mr. Han.
-Yes?

Millions of won were approved

in only a few minutes
from Ms. Jang's business credit card.

Where at?

Brand-name shops at a department store.

How dare you come here?

Wasn't that a sign telling me to come?

Were you with that woman?

Saying, "You break my heart,
I feel bad for you,

don't worry, I'll protect you,"

while looking like you pity her to death?

Did you have fun filming your soap opera?

You're drunk.

You know, right?

That I was with another guy.

It's a tie.

So don't get too serious.

This is nothing.

You and I are both
completely stressed out,

so we just needed to be refreshed.

It's nothing more

and nothing less than that.

Isn't that so?

Yes, Manager.

It's sad to see you go.

I really loved your performance, Ji-soo.

I can't help it.

I brought it upon myself
because of my temper.

But that felt really good.
It was so gratifying.

You know,

how much do you think it'll cost me
for that gratifying experience?

What?

The dress.

I'll find out and give you a call.

Will you play at a different hotel now?

Let me know so I can follow you.

I'm not sure, really.

I have no idea where I should go.

Cheer up. You're a very diligent woman.

I'm sure you'll see a better day soon.

A better day and world haven't come yet.

I thought they'd find me soon.

Don't ever do that again.

Don't hold

someone else's hand and leave
before my eyes.

You already know why I'm saying this.

You don't have any strength left.

Why were you so harsh?

Do you still think you're like a tiger?

You can't run away from home.

You told me to put up a fight.

Running away isn't the solution.

I'm no match for him.

I'll go with you.

You're no match for him either.

Then what? Should we
stop seeing each other for life?

That's not what I meant.

But today isn't a good day.

If today isn't good,
tomorrow won't be good either.

I'd like to ask you something.

Why are you so harsh to Ji-soo?

Why should I explain that to you?

To be honest,

I don't think I could understand
no matter what the reason is.

I couldn't tolerate even if you used

a flower to hit her.

A warmhearted prosecutor
who looks after the weak and needy.

A just prosecutor
who only looks for the truth.

A trustworthy prosecutor
who is always reliable.

A prosecutor who's strict on himself.

You took an oath
to become such a prosecutor.

And among many prosecutors who vowed
to have justice and a warm heart,

you hold the highest office, Mr. Yun.

Please treat Ji-soo

with a warm heart. I ask of you.

Did you say you study the law?

Yes, sir.

Will you be taking the bar exam?

I'm considering it.

Is it because you're cautious?

Or is it because of your beliefs?

It looks like you still have
a long way to go.

You need to leave.

I don't want to see your face
or hear anything else from you.

It could have been worse, you know.

Hey.

Run a background check on this kid.

Han Jae-hyun,
College of Law, class of 1991.

He looks like
he'd be in an activist group.

Find out what his family is like too.

Sure.

Don't worry.

I won't see him again.

The dress was three million won.

You've done well today. Goodbye.

-Goodbye.
-Bye.

Excuse me, Director.

Yes, go ahead.

Well…

Is there anyone
looking for private lessons?

Ms. Yun, aren't you giving enough
private lessons as it is?

I'm in urgent need of money.

I get your situation,

but it's not like
I have private lessons piled up.

I'll let you know
if someone asks for a lesson.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

PART-TIME PARADISE

DAMDO BARBECUE SPARERIBS
A PART-TIMER IN KITCHEN WANTED

DAMDO BARBECUE SPARERIBS

So, Ji-soo,

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.

-Hey, Yeong-u.
-Where are you?

Home, of course.

-What are you up to?
-Doing the dishes.

Where are you? Give me the address.

If you don't, I'll report you as missing.

You can work at my bar
instead of working here.

They pay pretty handsomely.

I'll pay you the same.

Your bar doesn't do so well.

What about playing the piano?

You can't overstrain your hands.

Rubber gloves
work like a charm these days.

Why did you have to get a job like this?

I ruined someone's expensive dress

while working at the hotel.

Then find a different hotel.

-No.
-Why not?

Physical labor takes my mind off worries.

And it's pathetic
how I tried to save my face

working a so-called elegant job
at a hotel to make money.

I had to eat brunch at the hotel
with other mothers,

so I even put on a silly mask.

My life was completely masked.

I'll live with my bare face now.

I couldn't tell you this to this day,

but your bare face looks much better.

Really? Or are you dissing me?

It's the truth.

That's cruel. I tried my best to dress up.

Don't you have a mirror at home?

My gosh. That's why you're still single.

Wait for me!

I'm sorry I asked you to come again.
I know you're busy.

It's all right. What is it?

Well…

We need to settle this.

Yes.

I'm not the type
who lets people go without paying

just because I have the money.

Since I was a kid,
I learned to settle my accounts right.

I'll pay you within a week.

It's not just about the dress.

Why aren't you compensating
for shaking up my family?

I know what you or Jae-hyun
will make as an excuse.

That I have no excuse to make

because I had an affair first.

Then just keep it on my level.

Play with him for a while, then ditch him,

so that he won't regret

or feel sorry for you.

Then I'll consider our account

settled.

Just so you know,
I'm not a woman of culture.

I'll pull out your hair
or grab whatever I can.

I'm good at both slapping
and splashing water on people's faces.

Let us begin the government inspection
of Hyungsung Group

on the dismissal of temporary employees
and buying stocks under different names.

Everyone who lent their name

stated the real owner
of their stocks is you,

Vice President Han Jae-hyun.

In total,
the shares you hold under other names

add up to 35 percent of the market cap,

whereas the chairman, Jang San,
only holds 21 percent.

Permanent employees make up less than
60 percent of your entire payroll.

Why is this the case
for a huge corporation

like Hyungsung Group?

Yes, right.
I'll look into the practical affairs

and get back with--

Then what do you know?

If you don't know anything,
why are you here?

You should be ashamed of yourself.

And witness,

you used to be an avid activist
when you were in college.

I believe you were
an activist in the labor movement.

I can't believe how you turned coat.

You aren't going to watch the festival?

MAY 1994

No.

Why? I really want to go watch it.

You can go watch it.

Everyone will be there
with their boyfriends and girlfriends.

I have to be in the subway union strike,
the Uruguay Round strike,

the student body election,
and the tuition strike.

Well, I just lied.

I've recently hit puberty.

What?

I feel like I rebel for no reason
and act tough

in a league of our own
imitating the activists of the 80s,

playing politics like I'm an adult,
so I've been thinking.

I can't afford to have fun at the festival
while I'm in that situation.

When will you finally live comfortably?

One day, when a better world comes.

I hope it can come soon.

Goodness.

There's a meeting in the club room.
Do you want to come?

About 100 people from the humanities,

then 50 from the natural sciences,
40 from the law school.

How many from economics?

We'll find out when Gyeong-ho gets here.

If only about 50 of them show up,

we'll have well over 500 people.

We can pick 40 good runners
and put them on the first and second rows.

We can work with that formation.

How can we fight with 500 people?

Things are getting tougher and tougher.

Maybe we should go a bit easier
like the others out there.

Revolution. Purge. Destruction.

The words we use are too tough.

Excuse me.

People in our department can't come.

Why not?

There's a test scheduled
for business management.

Damn it. Tell them to go to hell.

Why do they even join
if they worry about tests?

It'll be reflected in their grades, so…

I get grades too.

Do you think I get Fs because I want to?

Do you think I like that?

These so-called leaders
are causing more problems.

They study for the TOEIC

and even start dating.

Right?

The movement's power
is getting weaker and weaker

in this civilian government.

Like I said,

student movements are like a bicycle.

You have to keep treading the wheels.

We have to go on.
Even if we have no power,

-we should--
-Do you

just want to go on?

-What?
-Where's the bicycle headed?

Where's the destination?

Man, this idiot.

The organization is a mess because
you're too focused on improving things

with that corrupt mindset of yours.

I know you are

desperately looking
for connections in politics

because you won't be able to get a job
with the grades you botched.

Don't use those who put their books down

just to bring change to the world

to propel your bicycle forward.

Hyungsung Group's
Chairman Jang San and his family have been

holding shares under different names
and creating slush funds

to fulfill their own interest

in as many ways as they can

while approving the mass dismissal
of temporary workers,

displaying their unethical conduct.

-Great work, sir.
-Sure.

It seems like those stockholders
gave them straight answers

and said their shares
belong to Han Jae-hyun.

They're all dying
to get the names changed,

so I might start handing out numbers.

Once we change the names,
you'll have to pay the taxes.

But Seoul Bank
is still doing the paperwork.

I've been pressing them.

Anyway, you took care of the civil suit,

but what about the criminal suit?

Should I meet someone in the prosecution?

You don't have to.

Why not?

I already met someone.

-Anyway, Mr. Jang.
-Yes, sir.

Why doesn't anyone know
about my negotiation with the workers?

Is the PR Team on a break?

I'll check, sir.

I'm sure they already saw it.

Jun-u.

Yes, sir.

When did that black car
start following us?

Oh, let's see…

It followed you from the parking lot.

-Today?
-No, from a few days ago.

What about this car?

I've been checking every day

for location tracking devices.

Did you say you like watching movies?

Yes, very much.

Then should we go watch a movie?

Right now?

I know I'm not
in a good situation to watch movies,

but I don't think

I'll ever find the perfect timing
to watch a movie.

Yes, I'm all for it.

OCTOBER 1994

-Man, that was boring.
-Let's go.

How is this called a Hong Kong film?
It shouldn't even be called a movie.

I like movies with Chow Yun Fat,
the ones with guns.

What a waste of money.

That was boring.

This isn't a Hong Kong film.

Let's go.

Let's run!

Wait just a little.

Your arms will hurt.

How did you know I was here?

I'm sorry, but I didn't come for you.

I ran away from street protesting
when I saw that movie poster.

I wanted to watch the movie,

and the protest wasn't fun.

Oh, I sneezed because of the tear gas.

I knew it was you when I heard you sneeze.

Why didn't you come next to me?

I didn't want to block their view.

They wanted a refund.

They thought
it was like A Better Tomorrow.

I see.

I liked Leslie Cheung
in A Better Tomorrow,

but I liked him in this movie too.

Exactly.

I hope he continues to act
for a long time.

You know, Jae-hyun.

They say some people

end up reuniting with each other
no matter what happens.

And I think we're like that.

TELEPHONE

I'll be home soon. Don't lock the door.

Okay.

Press one to page the number.
Press two to record a voice message.

Press three
to record voicemail greetings--

Hello, this is Yun Ji-soo's boyfriend,
Han Jae-hyun's pager.

If you're a guy, press one or two.

If you're a woman, just hang up.
He's taken.

-His girlfriend has a violent temper…
-What are you doing?

I'll get mad at you.

Your greeting has been recorded.

Hello, this is Yun Ji-soo's boyfriend,
Han Jae-hyun's pager.

If you're a guy, press one or two.

If you're a woman, just hang up.
He's taken.

-Darn it.
-His girlfriend--

How was it?

It's a very artistic film.

Leslie Cheung is very handsome too.

What did you like about it?

Pardon?

Well, I liked the action scenes.

Hey, you snored a lot.

I… I'll get the car.

Leslie Cheung said,

"Half of Days of Being Wild is my story."

A bird with no legs
is just like Leslie Cheung.

Lonely and empty, right?

Yes.

JANG SEO-GYEONG

-Hello?
-Where are you?

I'm sure you know where I am.

What do you mean?

Haven't they made a report yet?

It wasn't me.

My dad could've put a tail on you,
but it wasn't me.

Then ask him where I am right now.

One second.

I'm behind you.

I have a tail on me.

Do you remember what you said

when we watched this movie?

About how some people end up reuniting

no matter what happens.

BADA MUSIC ACADEMY

DECEMBER 1994

What does this mean?

It sounds like "Let's meet up" in Korean.

"Let bus meet"?

"Let us meet."

It doesn't sound like one to me.

"1, 0, 1, 0, 2, 3, 5."

I know this one. "I adore you deeply."

"1, 2, 0, 0."

"1, 2, 0, 0"?

"Breaking up for good"?

It sounds like "So much work" in Korean.
It means I'm busy.

Gosh, you studied the numerics a lot.

I studied music too.

You studied music?

The end.

What's that song called?

"The Child Who Counted the Stars,"
written by Chung Won-young.

How was it?

Did you fall asleep?

That song is weird.

Why?

It keeps making me cry.

Gosh, what's with that song?

-Isn't it fun?
-Yes, it's a lot of fun.

I want to try practicing this at home.

Is this yours?

No, I borrowed it from the club next door.

Really? I should get one for myself.

Can you pick one out for me?

I'll buy it for you.

No, it's okay.

I'll have money

from my part-time job in school.

How can I accept that?

I'll buy it for you, so that's settled.

Let's try again.

You can hold the neck.

Like this.

What are you two doing
in our sacred club room?

I'm learning to play the guitar.

Hey, he doesn't know anything.
Why would you let him teach you?

Ji-soo, have you ever seen me
play the guitar or not?

-I have.
-You have, right?

Was I on a different level or what?

You were different, but…

Give it to me.

What are you doing?

-Just a second.
-Gosh.

You

Fell silent

And my lips get dry

-Your cold eyes
-Dong-jin

You've been playing
this one song for years.

I only go after one thing

I need to go after you.
You turned this great song into a mess.

Don't you feel bad for Yang Hee-eun?

As you

Turn around

Instead of saying

"I love you"

Welcome home.

Hello.

Go wash your hands and feet.

Okay.

How's his mother doing these days?

She's still the same.

She either needs to go bankrupt

or have an affair.

She'll need to do one of the two.

Are you sure she isn't seeing anyone?

Why would anyone date
someone her age and in her situation?

That's true.

But she is good looking.

I'm sure something is going on.

Mom.

When you read this letter,

I might not be in this world.

My life is tough every single day,

but I can't find the answer
no matter how much I think about it.

Which store are you looking for?

-Hendrix.
-Hendrix.

I can't imagine

that you used to play the guitar.

Did you also have long hair
and shake your head

in leather pants,
biting on guitar strings?

I'm starting to want to bite you,
so just look for the place.

Sir, I found it.

Hendrix.

HENDRIX GUITAR STORE

-Excuse me, are you…
-Excuse me.

Hey, are you here
to borrow Love Letter too?

Goodness, Ms. Yun.

-You're Se-ri's mother.
-Goodness.

You're the piano teacher
that the director told me about?

Anyway, come in.

Sure.

This is really easy to make.
And it's good too.

It's really good.

Isn't it?
You don't have to go out to a cafe.

Is Se-ri's younger sister
going to take the lessons?

Yes, she's seven years old.

She went out to get something.
She'll be back soon.

She must have gone with Se-ri.

Se-ri went to Jun-seo's place.

Isn't Yeong-min there too?

At Jun-seo's place?

Yes, Jun-seo is having a party at a hotel,

so he invited everyone…

My goodness. He must have forgotten.

Jun-seo probably didn't tell Yeong-min.

They aren't close.

Is that so?

MY SON, WHAT ARE YOU UP TO?

DID YOU EAT LUNCH?
ASK DAD TO GET YOU SOMETHING DELICIOUS

Yeong-min.

Do you want to get transferred?

Tell me the truth.

What happened?

Nothing happened.

Then why did you write
something like this?

It was just tough to study.

Even so, how can you think about dying?

There must be a bully.

No.

I can ask your school and find out.

I am not a patient person.

I was the bully.

I'm so sorry.

-Mr. Han.
-Yes?

Where are you going to play the guitar?

I'm not telling.

I wanted to see you play too.

Gosh. It's been over 20 years
since I last played.

But I heard your body still remembers.

You're right.

My body still remembers way too much.

A guitar?

I'm thinking of playing it again.

My gosh, man. You should've told me.

I was a pretty sick player.

Hey, if you can't believe me, ask Ji-soo.

I played for her all the time
in the club room.

You're right.
That one song over four years.

Isn't it great that I mastered one song

with these beautiful hands?

I do feel bad for Ms. Yang Hee-eun.

I'll apologize
if I ever meet her in person.

Hey, you do have some conscience.

Hey, man. Anyway.

So you're going
to pull on some guitar strings?

It's not like you're at a live cafe.
Can you do that here?

-Hey, Dong-jin.
-Yes?

Help me do

something cowardly today.

What?

I'm in front of your house.
I need to talk to you.

LEE SE-HUN

My son, what are you up to?

Did you eat lunch?

Ask Dad to get you something delicious.

Mom.

Dad found out

about what happened at school.

What brings you here?

I had something to give to you.

What is the guitar for?

I promised to buy you one before,
and I suddenly remembered.

You already know

that I won't take this.

I do. I know very well that you won't.

But I made my promise back then.

So I thought maybe you could accept it.

More importantly,

I wanted to see you.

My son is Yeong-min's classmate.

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

HAN JAE-HYUN

HAN JAE-HYUN

DRAMATIC LOVE STORY OF THE CHAIRMAN'S
DAUGHTER AND AN EMPLOYEE

Do you regret it?

I couldn't change anything after all.

I failed to protect
what was really important to me.

You should go your own way.

And I'll go on mine.

He says I'm having an affair.

I will make him pay for what he did.

I'm not here to threaten you.

I'd like to ask for your help.

Do what you want to do the most.

Or avoid what you fear the most.

This is where it begins.

It's going to be a long battle.
