All language subtitles for [S01.E09] When My Love Blooms - Aflevering 9.English

Your Leon is still there.

I guess someone
has been taking care of it.

That's amazing. How is it possible?

Actually, it's not Leon.

It's not?

I knew it.

I recently planted it.

On purpose.

Right here.

I had forgotten all about…

this place.

It's Asyli.

It's a place completely hidden
from the rest of the world, so…

So we can…

I was afraid to be held back by the past,

so I just kept walking fast
without looking back.

But I always ended up right here.

Maybe

I've been walking towards
this place the whole time.

Now my legs hurt.

I'll just stay here today.

Because…

we will be okay here.

I'll be going now.

Okay. Goodnight, Ji-soo.

Go home safely.

Do you want to go have ramyeon?

Do you not eat ramyeon anymore?

Not too often.

I knew it. People in your side
of the neighborhood don't eat ramyeon.

The fun in your life
probably got cut by half.

Is that so?

Are you done?

What? Oh, no. I'm not.

We're eating ramyeon and drinking coffee
at a convenience store

like how young people go on dates.

If we put this in young people's terms,

is this our first day as a couple?

We might

get stoned.

I'm not scared to be stoned,

but there are others in our lives
who'll get stoned with us.

I'll take the stone for everyone.

It's not like you're Iron Man.

How can you live through all that?

I can. You're here with me.

You're my Iron Man suit.

If I'm your suit,
won't I end up taking the blow?

Is that the case?

He's totally sane 20 percent of the time,

he's a gentle and generous old man
50 percent of the time,

and the rest of the time,

he's a weak and sick old man
who has no energy to talk.

It must be tough for you.

My dad was the first one
to teach me how to play the piano.

"A Child in the Island House."

Your father played the piano too?

Barely, with one hand.

I could never understand my dad,

but recently, I'm starting to.

He lived like a tiger for almost 50 years,

but he's now like a kitten.

I understand how absurd it would be
when he comes around.

So I understand why he throws things

and yells at me.

But that doesn't mean

I just let him hit me.

I get angry too.

Listening to old songs on the radio
is the only thing she does for fun.

Your mother was very beautiful.

Last time, her radio broke down,
so I sang her a song.

-Really?
-Yes.

What did you sing?

"Because I Love You."

So? Did you do a good job?

Hardly.

I just sang it
out of tune and off the beat.

Sing it for me too.

I'm a bad singer.

You liar.

I know you're good at singing.

That was long ago. I forgot everything.

Did you really?

Yes.

My head was heavy, right?

It was light.

That's not a compliment.

Go home already.

I'll really go now.

Who is it?

It's Kang, Mr. Han's secretary.

What brings you here?

Up there.

Over here, please.

-Is this what you wanted?
-Yes.

This is the best electronic door lock
in the industry.

It uses biometrics,
it can detect breakage,

and it's fireproof, waterproof,
and dustproof.

Even Jun Ji-hyun and Kim Soo-hyun from
The Thieves won't be able to break it.

HYUNGSUNG SUPERMARKET
VICE PRESIDENT HAN JAE-HYUN

Hey, Ji-soo.

The people who are here
won't listen to me.

You need to tell them to leave.

They won't leave unless police officers
come and drag them away.

-Jae-hyun.
-I'm doing it for me.

It's not for you.

I wanted to sleep in peace.

You have to eat good food
after you stay up all night.

You don't approve of me, do you?

Pardon?

I make you do things

unrelated to work or my family,
the things people will shun.

That?

I'm sure it's tiring and uncomfortable.

I probably know the best in Korea

when it comes
to what your life had been like.

It's not Ms. Yun,
Ms. Jang, or the chairman.

I know what your life used to be like.

I'm on your side. No questions asked.

Hey, you're a big boy now.

I've always been pretty tall.
It's just that you're taller.

You got a little cheeky too.

I'm sorry.

Thanks.

LONG-STAY WARDS

A CELEBRATION WITH FAMILY

That's "A Child in the Island House."

My daughter used to be
good at playing the piano.

What did you say, Dad?

My daughter used to be
very good at playing the piano, ma'am.

Hello.

Oh, hello.

What's that?

I thought it'd be too big for your place,
and I knew you wouldn't take it anyway,

so I donated it here.

The director gave me permission
to leave it here

when I said it could help the patients.

I tried my best
with my limited imagination.

Are you not impressed?

I'm not. And it's expensive too.

I asked the director
to let anyone come and play.

That's what I said,
but I hope only you play it all the time.

Give it a go.

Your father might remember something.

Anyway, will you be detained, or not?

Am I screwed? Not a clue.

Did you just make it rhyme? Are we on?

You aren't just about to be detained

You got sued over
What happened five years ago

How can you be so relaxed?

What are you doing?

-Gosh.
-So you don't know?

So what if I don't know?
Should I pray to not get detained?

Only a lunatic would be fine
in your situation.

I've been doing great.

So you are a lunatic.

Goodness.

Hey.

Look at you. You've gone insane.

-Hey.
-What?

When will you get off?

Why? Do you want a drink?

Let's go drink now.

Is this room soundproof?

Soundproof? Why do you ask?

May I borrow this room tonight?

Wait.

At night. A soundproof room.

What are you planning to do with Ji-soo?

You have a wild imagination.

It's just way too dirty.

You little punk!

Be honest with me, you lunatic.
Then I'll let you use it.

What did you say? You punk.

911 EMERGENCY RESPONSE

Can you spare some time for me tonight?

Ji-soo.

I'm going back to you.

I won't stop

or look back.

For the last few days

up until today,

it felt like I became a star in a movie.

And among all the scenes,

tonight has to be the most beautiful one.

But the more I walk with you,

the heavier my feet become.

I always kept the things

I learned from you in my heart.

I didn't want to be ashamed

if I ever ran into you again.

I'll go down the road

that isn't shameful to you
or to anyone else.

And I won't deceive anyone from now on.

It might take some time

because I have
some things to take care of.

But I'll go back to you.

CHIEF PROSECUTOR KIM HAK-CHEOL

Everyone got very busy
as soon as the sun rose.

-Let us begin.
-Yes, sir.

How big is Jae-hyun's set-up?

Kim said a search warrant
was issued against Kang

for violating
the real-name financial system,

the Capital Markets Act,

and the National Tax Collection Act.

Other than the dividend
for borrowed-name shares,

I'm sure they'll find

the slush fund as well.

How did he know about that?

It seems like he's been planning this
since his Strategic Planning Team days.

That's exactly why I wanted to…

If it wasn't for Seo-gyeong,
I would've already…

I'm sure he told the media
about my borrowed-name shares.

I told him to go to prison,
but if he's going to pay the taxes,

that means he's going to take the shares.

I'm sorry.

The best offense is a good defense.

You win a fight
by knocking down your opponent,

not by holding out and enduring.

Find an occasion to fight against him.

Not a place where he awaits.

A place where we can call him out.

Lately, Mr. Han has been

working very hard on this one thing.

You always watch either Love Letter
or this, Days of Being Wild,

so I gave it a try.

It's not that interesting.

So I'm going to get rid of this room.

Should I turn it into a closet?

Or maybe a wine bar. I've been thinking.

I thought we came down to this

because you sat here
reminiscing on your history.

Our marriage had been over

long before I met Ji-soo again.

I was indifferent.

You dated another man.

Once my fight with Father ends,

either one of us will
have to pay the price.

Whether if it'll be me or him,

it'll be too tough for you to bear.

It's all in the past.

Do you have to take this to the end?

I was bound to be used,

then abandoned in the end anyway.

You aren't responsible in any way
for this fight.

Yet you'll still be hurt.

That's why I've been thinking about

what's the best I can do for you.

I only want one thing.

I'm sorry, but I can't divorce you.

If I'm crying this much,

she has to cry a little too.

If you can't take my love,

you can't have her love either.

I might seem like a monster,

but this is my way of love.

Are you Ms. Yun Ji-soo?

How may I help you?

Could you spare a little bit of your time?

Our chairman would like to see you.

Your chairman?

You look a lot like him.

What do you mean?

The only remaining child

of Chief Prosecutor Yun Hyeong-gu.

His dearest child.

What a small world,

Ms. Yun Ji-soo.

Has he never said anything about me?

We were rather close until that happened.

Do you know that
he wanted to get into politics?

One needs money to get into politics

and corporations need
a connection in the prosecution.

So we grabbed a drink and played golf

from time to time.

He was always proud of his daughter
who got into Seoul National University.

Is that you?

I'm sure you didn't want to see me
to talk about old memories.

You might misunderstand me
because I'm talking to you with a smile.

But I'm not a guy who smiles all the time.

If it hadn't been for that accident,
he would've gotten into politics

to become an assemblyman
and a minister too.

Why would the daughter of such a noble man

date my son-in-law?

Are you in need of money?

Then just say so.
I can give you some without strings

for old time's sake.

I already told this to my son-in-law
multiple times,

but when it comes to my child,

I can never control my temper.

This is a sort of warning,

so I hope you will make a wise decision.

MURDEROUS BUSINESS,
EXPOSING HYUNGSUNG'S BRUTALITY

APOLOGIZE, SHAMELESS CHAIRMAN JANG

Since when has he been there?

Pardon? Who?

The plaintiff of Lee Se-hun's case.

Him?

He started to come here a little before
you got imprisoned,

so a little over four years.

And he's the same guy
who threw eggs at you.

MURDEROUS BUSINESS

EXPOSING HYUNGSUNG'S BRUTALITY

Mr. Han, I looked into your question
regarding the prosecution--

Did you know he has a son?

"A son"?

Kwon Hyeok-su.

Oh. Kwon Hyeok-su.

You can't suddenly make a visit
without making an appointment.

In the labor-management negotiation
last year, you agreed to increase

our basic pay by 20 percent,
the bonus by 50 percent,

and giving permanent positions
to 50 percent

of our dispatched workers.

But nothing came to pass
even after a year,

and this year's negotiation
hasn't even happened yet.

I requested a meeting time and time again,

but you wouldn't respond.

Our answer is no answer.
If you keep pressing--

There was a condition on the execution
of the terms in the agreement.

That the negotiation will be annulled
in case of financial difficulty?

That's because the company
didn't look into the demand

before making an excessive investment
in the Australian iron mines.

How is that our fault?

And you never discussed
that decision with us.

The management has sole authority
to decide on investments.

It's not a part of our negotiation.

So we should take responsibility
for a decision you people made?

The steel business
is impacting the entire group.

We have to hold out and bear through
until things get better

for shipbuilding and construction.

Does Hyungsung's management

share the joy with the laborers last
while handing out difficulties first?

You can think as you want.

You make it sound very easy to hold out,

but it's a matter of survival for us!

Since it's a matter of survival,
make a decision for yourself

before someone else does.

Back then, Han Jae-hyun was the director
of the Strategic Planning Team.

According to my investigation,

Hyeok-su announced
the breakdown of the negotiation

between them and the management

and decided to go on strike.

However, the strike
didn't even last for a day.

It didn't.

So far, I came to a conclusion
that Hyeok-su had been

used by the company.

Used?

The main reason
for the cancellation of the strike

was because Hyeok-su received
a new offer from the management,

that they would raise the wage
and accept other terms

according to their initial agreement.

He persuaded the union with that,

ended the strike, and withdrew
their complaint on the management.

But the management showed
a sudden change of attitude.

Everyone
who initiated the strike was fired.

All participants were scattered everywhere

and sent to other subsidiaries.

Hyeok-su was the only one
who kept his original post in the process.

He was even promoted,

but we could all presume
how everyone who left or stayed

would have treated him.

My poor Hyeok-su. You poor thing.

We need to make him pay.

The man who played
the biggest role in this tragedy.

Yeong-min, is everything all right?

Yes.

Then why did your grades drop?

I'm sorry.

If you're sorry, study harder.

Okay.

Anyway, Yeong-min.
Did you ever consider studying abroad?

Studying abroad?

There's this company
that does a lot of good work,

and they have a program where students
with good grades can study abroad.

This time, you were chosen.

But my grades dropped a lot.

It has nothing to do with your grades--

You used to be very good.

Doesn't it cost a lot?

I just need you to say yes--

It won't cost you anything.

That company will cover
all your tuition and living expenses.

Hey, Yeong-min.

Mom, I was chosen as a scholarship student
for an overseas program.

Like studying abroad?

It's a scholarship from Hyungsung Group.

They have a scholarship student program.

It'll be easier for him
to get a job there later too.

Isn't such a scholarship
usually given to college students?

That's true.

I was also very surprised to hear
that Yeong-min was chosen.

But don't you think that proves
how smart Yeong-min is?

It seems so.

I'll tell you in more detail
once you come visit this weekend.

All right.

-I thought you got a better car.
-I walked here.

-My gosh.
-You have to tell me what happened.

-What happened?
-Is that true?

-So that rumor is true?
-No way.

-Really?
-Those two?

-Are you serious?
-Goodness.

-There's no way.
-My gosh.

That can't be right.

-Exactly.
-They couldn't do that.

-They met back in school.
-So it's true?

Yeong-min.

This doesn't feel right to me.

What doesn't feel right?

Hyungsung's scholarship.

Why not?

There's no free lunch in this world,

except for Mom's lunch.

But if you eat out,

you have to pay, right?

So whenever I get something too big,

whether it's someone's heart or things,

I have to keep wondering

how I'll pay them back.

I'm concerned you might get sick

worrying about lunch money
as you eat lunch.

You're disappointed.

A little.

But I knew I wasn't going to go.

How?

Because I can't go with you.

Why do you want to go with me?

You leave alone for such a program.

Because I can't be away from you.

-Dad!
-Yes?

-Let's go home.
-Okay.

Aren't you cold?

It was awfully cold for me.

When I'd be out protesting on a street,

it got really cold

no matter how many clothes I put on.

My son did not commit suicide.

He was killed by Hyungsung Group
and Vice President Han Jae-hyun.

According to Kwon,
the father of the deputy head

of Hyungsung Steel's union
who died five years ago,

Han Jae-hyun, who was the director
of the Strategic Planning Team…

MURDEROUS BUSINESS

EXPOSING HYUNGSUNG'S BRUTALITY

Are you here to check?

I'll do that for you.

I'll show you what Han Jae-hyun did.

If you're right,
he'll be punished according to his crime.

I'm not going to take his side blindly.

I want to see
if you can keep saying that later on.

Did you set him as a target because of me?

Han Jae-hyun was
in the middle of this case.

He was the man in charge
over labor-management troubles

and the decision-maker.

To be frank,
I started this because of you.

But as I investigated,

I began to get interested
in this man, Han Jae-hyun.

There are many more stories other than
the one that involves him over there.

And the genre is close to a crime film.

Did you expect
the warrant to get rejected?

Do borrowed-name shares belong to you?

Any words on the slush fund?

-Please say something.
-How do you feel?

Why on earth do you want to drink
at a place like this?

Are you really broke?

I was here a few days ago,
and it was great.

It's better than a hotel bar and cheaper.

Fine, then.

At least order
some grilled eel or stir-fried gizzard!

This is pathetic.

I'm a type who eats more than I drink.

Okay, fine. I'll turn it into a buffet.

That's it.

-Excuse me!
-Buffet, please.

I think we ended up like this

because of the passing time.

It's not like

we had to study hard
like students these days.

We didn't have to protest
with our lives at stake like the 80s.

And we had everything in abundance,

from music, films, to books.

Precisely.

No matter how much I think about it,

we lived through such a great time.

But as good as it was,
it was awfully cruel too.

It took away many good people.

And many good people turned into villains.

Hello?

It's me, Kim Mi-hwa.

Do you remember me?

Yes, Mi-hwa. Hello. Have you been well?

I've been doing very well. What about you?

I've been well too. So, what is it?

I heard the news from Seon-hui.

Could you play the keyboard for us too?

The keyboard?

We have a separate supermarket union
from the group's union,

and we hold festivals by ourselves too.

Of course, I should be there.
I'm a part of the family.

Then I'll see you tomorrow. Okay.

Jae-hyun. Wake up, Jae-hyun.

What?

You're here.

How much did you drink?

Dong-jin kept making me drink.
It's on Dong-jin.

Why did you come here
instead of going home?

I got tired on my way home.

I'm troubled by that old man

who hasn't been coming out to protest.

I'm troubled by his son
who died an unfair death.

I'm troubled by my mother.

And I'm troubled by her stupid son.

I'm troubled by Seo-gyeong…

Jun-seo…

Ji-soo...

and Yeong-Min.

I promised to go and be with you,

but I keep getting troubled
by all these things on my way.

It's because I live in a tough area.

It's a rough gravel road.

So your journey to me

is really tough.

Why are his eyelashes still so pretty?

CALL A TAXI

I don't think you can get up.

What's Mr. Kang's number?

He's not a person.
He's a piece of luggage.

I did not invite him inside.

This was out of my control.

And I'll lock my room before I sleep.

Next time, I'll leave you
out on the streets to freeze and die.

You probably shouldn't drink.

Gosh, this is ancient.

GARAM INTERNATIONAL MIDDLE SCHOOL

So is something really going on
between Yeong-min's mom and Jun-seo's dad?

Of course there is.

Right?

It seemed like something
was between them on that day.

"On that day"?

I saw them
when they came here last weekend,

and the way they looked at each other
was very suspicious.

They were doing that at school?

I can't believe how bold they are.

-Yes?
-It's me, Kang.

-That hits the spot.
-I forgot to greet you.

You look great, Ji-soo.

-Do I?
-Yes.

Are you seeing someone?
Why do you look so great?

Did you get Botox?

What do you mean?
She has always been pretty.

You looked really cool and pretty
playing the keyboard there.

-Right.
-Yes, it's because she's pretty.

And her fingers are very thin.

Gosh, I used to play a little too,

but I kept pushing two keys at once,
so I just quit.

Go on a diet.

-Two keys at once.
-Right.

-The lights went off.
-What?

-Happy birthday to you
-Oh, my.

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday dear Mi-hwa...

-It's good.
-Exactly.

Great job picking out the cake.

-The strawberry is good.
-Really? Let me try a bite.

This cake is great.

I'm so glad my first visit
overlapped with my birthday.

What are you doing?

You're taking everything.

JUNE 29, 1995

-Where are you going?
-To see her man, probably.

It's your birthday.
We need to have a meal together.

We can eat now.

Your dad already left for work.

Then what?

He wants to have dinner together,
so we didn't get a cake yet.

I can't be home for dinner.

Try to come.

How can we eat your birthday dinner
without you?

We barely see each other.

Okay, fine.
I'll come home as soon as possible.

What about the cake? What do you want?

Anything's fine.

Mom and I are going to get my watch fixed
at the department store.

How about their strawberry cake?

Get anything you want.

Be home early. Dad will get mad.

All right.

That cheeky girl.
She won't even look at us.

We might forget what you look like.

-The cake, right?
-Yes, the cake.

-It's good.
-It is.

-It's not bad.
-Ji-soo.

Why aren't you eating the cake?

Oh, it's…

Why not? Is it not good?

I'm too full.

You don't look so well.

Are you feeling sick?

No.

Do you want me to pack some up for you?

Birthday cakes are meant to be shared.

Right? Pack it up.

I looked around your place
without your permission

and came to another realization

about the life you lived

and why you left me.

Even if I were you,

I would've made the same choice.

So don't blame yourself for anything,

and make sure you live happily, Ji-soo.

Are you not having any eggs?

What's going on?

I'm heading to their school.

Why are you taking the train?

I know it'll sound like a lie,
but Mr. Kang is on a break.

Then you can drive yourself.

And this will sound like a bigger lie,

but my car is getting inspected.

How did you know I'd be on this train?

I waited for you from early this morning.

You didn't have to do that.

I wanted to.

You're home alone, you eat alone,

and you always ride the train alone.

That kind of troubled me.

I'm not alone.
I've got my dad and Yeong-min.

GARAM INTERNATIONAL MIDDLE SCHOOL

DAHAM HOSPITAL

-Hey, what's going on?
-Call someone.

-Honey.
-What's going on?

-Why won't the lights go on?
-Hello?

-This is bad.
-I need to be there soon.

Dear passengers.

We will be making a short stop
due to generator malfunction.

We will depart again
as soon as the maintenance is over.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

-My gosh.
-Are you okay?

What is this?

I can't get a signal here.

It's raining.
I need to go find my daughter.

She'll be cold out in the rain.

Ji-yeong. Honey.

Ji-soo.

One second.

-What's going on?
-What is this?

-When will they be done?
-No idea.

Your mother is a good cook.

Doesn't it look like I made these?

No, it doesn't.

You're too quick.

You look really tan.

It must be tough.

I ran around a lot back in school,
so it's fine.

But is it really okay

to be here on your birthday?

Breaking news. Yet another
unprecedented accident broke out.

-Oh no.
-This afternoon,

a renowned department store
in Seoul collapsed.

Fire engines and ambulances
have gathered on the scene

and have begun rescuing people.

Mom and I are going to get my watch fixed
at the department store.

How about their strawberry cake?

It looks like
there will be many casualties.

We'll find out more in detail
from the reporter on the scene.

Ji-soo. Wait. Look at me.

We don't know anything for sure.

Someone from my dad's office
told me to come home quickly.

They didn't say anything else,
they just told me to come.

I'm sure nothing bad will happen.
It'll be fine.

Jae-hyun, I have to go.

I'm sorry.

STOP

I'm sorry.

One second. I'll be back in a second.

Go back inside.

Please. Please let me go.

If you leave, you'll be AWOL.

Then I'll do that.

Let me go.

Let me go!

Ji-soo!

Let me go.

Passengers, we will be making a short stop
to keep a safe distance

from the train ahead of us.

We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Mom, no.

No. I have to go now.

Please open this. Please open the door!

It's my fault.

It's…

It's because I'm too late.

I said I'd be home early.

Mom, no…

Please open this.

Please open this door.

I have to go now.

Please open this door.

Ji-soo.

Ji-soo.

I can't remember them.

I remember everything

from that day,

but no matter

how much I try,

I can't remember
the last of Mom and Ji-yeong.

Ji-soo.

I don't think I ever took
a step away from that day.

Mom! Look over here!

A deep wound can also mean a deep longing.

How do you make
such a decision that easily?

Nothing has ever been easy.

I had to risk everything.

How did you find that out just now?

It's all because of your mom!

I'm sorry, Yeong-min.

We need some time to heal.

Yes, you might be right.
