All language subtitles for [S01.E11] When My Love Blooms - Aflevering 11.English

The story begins with my dad.

I got a call while I was in the army.

I heard that my father

ended his own life.

He was tormented from the false accusation

that he betrayed

his comrades who were like family
behind their backs...

and became a corporate spy
to destroy their union.

He had reported our company
to the prosecution

for unfair labor practices.

We stopped that lawsuit back then.

Yes. We had the prosecution
put the blame on him

for the disbandment of the union
and the layoffs.

Then the executives of the disbanded union

and people who were laid off

all filed a lawsuit against him.

In the end, all charges
against the corporation were dropped,

but he ended up

being indicted
for illegal disbandment of the union.

Shortly after,
he ended up committing suicide.

And through recent investigation,
I found out that he was

Vice President Han Jae-hyun's father.

It was the loneliest funeral ever.

Nobody came.

1996

It seemed like

my father was abandoned.

My mom and I had no idea

why he made such a decision,

until I found stacks of accusations

and bills of indictment in his bag.

The names of everyone
who wasn't at his funeral

were written down
in stacks of those accusations.

"Our union was disbanded because of him."

"I trusted what he said, then got fired."

"He obviously took a bribe
from the corporation,

so please conduct
a thorough investigation."

I began to despise

the path my father took his whole life,

the path I followed.

That's when I decided

how I would live my life

and what I would live for.

How could you not have known to this day?

We didn't want our name to be mentioned
after his death,

so we processed his resignation
and deleted the records of his service.

That's why we couldn't find
any information related to this

when we conducted
a background check on Vice President Han.

I'm sorry, sir.

Since when

has Jae-hyun known about this?

Did he approach Seo-gyeong on purpose
because he already knew?

That doesn't seem to be the case.

According to the report
made by our data center,

he first accessed
confidential documents of the union

five years ago.

But five years ago,

a union member
named Kwon Hyeok-su killed himself.

Isn't he that old man's son?

I was reminded of my father when he died.

Something he began with a conviction

turned into foolish naivety.

Even the way they died was the same

as they died in resentment and contempt

of their comrades.

That's when I began to search
for the truth.

Then I found out Chairman Jang is…

behind the death of both men.

I couldn't bear the fact
that I worked for him for so long

as a loyal and lowly hunting dog.

That's why

I didn't refuse
to be imprisoned for four years.

It must've hurt a lot, Jae-hyun.

You had to go through all of that alone,
for so many years.

While I was in prison,

I thought of my father very often.

I sat on resentment and anger

after my father's death,

but it was because I was sorry for him
and I missed him.

As time passed by,

I began to feel sorrier,

and I began to miss him more.

Dad.

Dad…

Dad…

Dad…

It's just a drink.

It's not poison. Why can't you drink it?

It tastes great.

Jae-hyun.

I'm sure your father

misses you a lot too.

He'll miss his son, who took after him,

who's warmhearted and kind,

who'd always take the losing side

even when he had nothing to gain.

And I'm sure
he'll be very curious to find out

how you will live

from now on,

and what you'll live for.

We're tangled up
in many complicated histories.

AUTUMN 1995

Excuse me.

Did this family move out?

I haven't seen anyone
come out of that house recently.

But I'm not sure if they moved out or not.

Tonight's last song on FM Music City

is a song by Light and Salt.

"Please Don't Go Away from My Side."

Jae-hyun!

-Hey.
-Are you on your leave?

Was Ji-soo here by any chance?

She wouldn't come here.

I thought she left on purpose.

I wanted to check just in case.

She wasn't at home or at school.

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.

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?

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?

JULY 1997

Why did you freaking get discharged
on such a hot day?

I told you not to come.
Why did you freaking come?

Because I felt bad for you, punk.

Your father isn't around,
and neither is your girlfriend.

Did you look for Ji-soo?

Thanks to you,

I became good friends with music majors.

They're all very innocent and friendly.
I guess it's because they grew up

without hardships.

You were busy taking their pager numbers,

that you forgot Ji-soo?

Pager numbers? That's so ancient.

Hey, I'm a guy who's about to get
a new phone in two days.

-A new home phone?
-A cell phone.

You hold it up like this.
"Perfect signals anywhere in Korea.

-Any--"
-Stop acting silly. Let's go.

You should get one
now that you're discharged.

I need to save up money.

You need to have money to save it.

-I'll make some.
-By doing what?

I'll do whatever I can.

What about the bar exam?
You won't take it?

I have no time for that.

I'll graduate as soon as I can
and make money.

My mom can't keep running her business
because of her health.

And Dad's old comrades or friends
won't help us.

We're on our own.

What will you do with the money?

I have to pay back my debt.

You're in debt? Who do you owe it to?

-My dad.
-Your dad?

So you have to pay him back the tuition?
He didn't just pay for it?

That's such an American way of parenting.

He gave me his day's wage

without spending any.

And you didn't spend any either?

I couldn't use it.

That's why I'm going to pay him back…

with a millionfold of interest.

Do you miss your dad a lot?

I'm not sure.

How can you not be sure?

I can't really remember him.

The last I saw him was

in front of my house
when I came out on leave.

It was dark at night. Maybe that's why…

I can't really remember.

Why is life so harsh, man?

No one lived as diligently as you did.

Ji-soo, you must be around somewhere.

I'm going to become a different man.

If we ever run into each other,

please recognize me

even if I change a lot.

That doesn't seem enough.

He now wants to take this to the end.

The legal team said

this won't cause any problem for us.

They said Mr. Han will end up
getting badly harassed by the prosecution.

Did he not know this?

What's his plan?

Nothing came up to the surface,
so I'm still looking into that.

-However…
-However what?

The prosecution took
the account books we prepared

against a search and seizure
without further inquiry,

but I'm concerned
about the records they took,

including electronic payment records
and board meeting minutes,

even from our subsidiaries.

You should've
tampered with those beforehand.

It would be too much work

to have all the subsidiaries' records
match up with--

Why have you been making
so many excuses lately?

I'm sure there's a good reason
for everything,

but you do this all the time.

Mr. Han, Chairman Jang
wants you to come upstairs.

I heard you had a lot of work yesterday,
but you came to work early.

Yes, and you're here early too, sir.

I'm a guy who wants
the sun to rise up as fast as it can.

My joy in life is in working.

What? Do you want me
to cut to the chase already?

You're right.

We aren't in a situation
to greet each other

saying good morning.

How far do you want to take this?

Do I not even have to ask
since we both know the answer?

Do you want to be
Hyungsung Group's chairman?

I see you got used to taking the Fifth

after your frequent visits
to the prosecution.

All right, then.
I'll start with the most recent one.

The prosecution recently became
very intimate with you,

then did a search and seizure
against me and Seo-gyeong

because of Hyungsung's slush funds
and the dividends, no?

Those don't belong to Hyungsung.

Those were your slush funds
and your dividends.

That's it. There's your true color.

I love this talk.
I love these conversations.

Our words reek of honesty.

But…

do you know
the special exception made to relatives?

Even if the dividends
from your borrowed-name shares

and slush funds were

originally given to me or Seo-gyeong,

we won't have to take
any legal responsibilities.

The law doesn't count
stealing between families as theft.

The exception is only applied
to those who are related to you by blood.

And relation by blood literally means

a family member
who shares the same blood as you.

Sadly, we aren't blood relatives.

Just as you always pointed out,

you and I are from different bloodlines.

It looks like
you want to leave Seo-gyeong out

and just get me in trouble.

I didn't take any money under my name.

I used Seo-gyeong's name for everything.

You can tell the police

and insist that the money is mine,
but I'll tell them it's Seo-gyeong's.

You already know

how much I hate going to prison.

If I must sacrifice my daughter, I will.

I'm never going to prison.

Yes.

I know very well that you wouldn't.

The same goes for you.

She's your wife
and the mother of your kid.

You can't lock her up behind bars.

On top of that, Seo-gyeong's money

will end up going to your kid, Jun-seo.

Do you understand?

I'll manage.

Now that we're on Jun-seo,

I heard Yun Ji-soo's son
used violence against Jun-seo.

They don't know what to make of this,
so it ended up coming to me.

What are you trying to say?

If you already know the answer,

refrain from asking unnecessary questions.

Jae-hyun.

I need a moment of your time today.

I have that darned something
I have to tell you.

I'll see you tonight,

at the place where things began.

So who did you lose?

I already told you everything.

Why won't you tell me? This is unfair.

I definitely know what you have lost.

-Do you remember?
-Your mind.

Is that funny?

I really like you.

Let's start dating.

What? My goodness.

This is the only ride I can't get on.

I can open both of my eyes
and raise both hands

on the scariest roller coaster
in this amusement park,

but I can't ride this one.

Why not?

My mom

left me here and walked away.

I was only a seven-year-old girl.

I can be awfully determined
because I took after her.

You have to face it to break it.

Break what?

Your trauma.

Do you really think
I'm scared of this ride?

It's just too boring. I'm not a kid.

I'll help you so that the last person

you saw on this ride will
no longer have to be your mom, Seo-gyeong.

If you were going to leave me,

why didn't you just disappear back then?

What is this?

I'll end up

getting abandoned again.

Let's go back to that day.

I'll get rid of Se-hwi and lose my temper.

I'll keep my eyes fixed on you.

It's not that I can't.

I just didn't.

I got a little bored,

and I thought
I should provoke you a little.

That's why I went out
looking for something fun and new.

But it's all boring. It's not fun anymore.

I'm sorry, Seo-gyeong.

This is like gluing broken glass
back into its shape.

No, I should be sorry

because I won't end this.

Broken glass?
Why can't I glue it back together?

I broke it, so I'll glue it back.

I'll make it look good

so that you can't tell it was broken.

What are you doing, Ms. Yun?

Director.

I'll try to find a way.

Will you wait a little?

I made a hasty decision

because your talent
was too good to go to waste.

What does "hasty" mean?

When you let your heart run before you,

and you end up falling down
running behind it.

Does your heart have to move slowly?

You're right.

Our hearts have to move slowly.

But once your heart starts to run,
it's not easy to stop it.

I think I did that too.

Being hasty.

I showed off to Yu-bin and told her

that you'd give me piano lessons.

That wasn't your fault.
That's also my fault.

Of course you'd want to show it off.

It's my fault
for trying to do this in secret.

What are we going to do?

I'll open up a piano academy
as soon as possible.

FOR LEASE

Don't you let anyone else lease you.

I'll come back with money.

Hello, ma'am.

Hello, Ms. Yun--

Yu-bin's mother found out

that you didn't graduate college.

You know that Yu-bin and Byeol
are in the same class, don't you?

Giving free lessons to Byeol

ended up holding you back like this.

JAE-HYUN

Does this mean you're out of work?

No, I give private lessons.

Is that enough?

For what?

For making a living.

I'll have to make ends meet.

It's enough.
I don't spend a lot of money anyway.

So there won't be any problem
even if I quit working there.

This isn't my corporate card.
It's my personal one.

My company can't track this,
and there's no limit.

Is this your way of testing me?

"Still? You still won't take this?"

I want to do something for you.

I can't think of anything but money
to make up for the last 25 years.

It's tormenting for me too.

I never knew
I had such a weak imagination.

Then go work on your imagination.

Take lessons or go to an academy
with that money.

You're still the same.

Hye-jeong, is that you?

I didn't order anything.

Aren't you Ms. Yun Ji-soo?

I am.

My gosh, what's all this?

Is a war breaking out tomorrow?

Is this your home or the supermarket?

Do you want to take some?

So what's going on?

You would never buy anything in bulk.

You're a stingy girl
who buys rice by tiny bags.

Did some kind of charity organization
decide to help you?

Are these donations from people?

It's from Jae-hyun.

You ended up getting back together?

Take a seat.
I'll make something delicious.

Forget it. I can't eat in this mess.

Let's go out and eat.

Do you want to do that?

You stopped coming,
so I thought you quit drinking.

I couldn't come because life is tough.

I won't charge you. Just come.

You don't make drinks with tap water.

You probably buy
liquor and ingredients on a credit card.

How can I drink for free?

I'm frightened of my credit card bill.

I wish the 25th wouldn't exist.

I wish it would skip the 26th
after the 24th.

Then you won't even get paid.

Then I'll change the payment date
for my credit card.

Why aren't you drinking?

Just because.

What's this awkwardness?
Did you two fight?

Why would we fight?

-Do you fight with your dear?
-"Dear"?

My dear friend.

Try to be careful.
Your dear friend might betray you.

In that case…

Stop doing these things.

Goodness. Stop smiling, you brat.
You're way too pretty.

This is why he can't let you go.

Thank you for everything, Yeong-u.

And I'm sorry.

-Hello?
-Hello.

This is the nursing home.

Yes, hello.

Could you stop by for a second

if you can spare some time today?

What is it?

Mr. Yun wants to see you.

Did something happen to him?

No, nothing happened.
He's actually doing well today.

He came to himself.

All right.

Mr. Yun.

I heard you wanted to see me.

Would you like

to get some air with me?

Do not

forgive me.

You can

just push me

down the cliff right now.

What do you mean?

Ji-soo didn't do anything wrong.

So…

you can blame me for everything.

I can't let my dear daughter…

live in pain anymore.

The one…

who indicted your father
for illegal labor activities…

was me.

MAY 1995

It was that summer.

The summer of the year
when my life stopped.

While you ran away with Ji-soo,

your father filed an accusation at
the Central District Prosecutors' Office

against the management of Hyungsung

for the destruction of the union.

I knew he was your father
as soon as I heard the news.

At that time, I had been extremely angry

at you and Ji-soo,

and your father appeared before me
at that moment

along with Chairman Jang San.

Chairman Jang asked me

to ignore the accusation your father made

against Hyungsung.

But I didn't just stop there.

I had your father indicted.

I put the charges
he made against Hyungsung

and used the evidence he brought

to frame him instead.

Your father was devastated.

Chairman Jang was thrilled.

And I was satisfied.

Chairman Jang

decided to fully support
my political career.

The deeper my resentment
against you and Ji-soo became,

the bigger my reward seemed to get.

I would say that I was furious,

but I had a smile on my face.

And that summer, I lost everything.

I lost

the home and family I could return to.

I lost my job and my career.

I didn't realize

what the scale
in Lady Justice's hand meant

as she stood in front of court.

I had forgotten

the warning she gave
with the knife in her other hand.

That summer,

everything…

disappeared from me at once.

Ever since that day,

my clock has stopped.

And now,

the clock of my body is about to stop too.

I am very sorry.

I have committed

such a dire and unfathomable crime
against you.

Please

accept my deepest apology.

Did something happen at the sanatorium?

You don't look very well.

Jun-seo.

Do you want to go on a trip with me?

We can go camping like last time,

go night fishing,

or maybe even hiking.

There's a beach
and many other fun things to do

at Gangneung.

There are a lot more
fun and exciting things

you can do in this world
other than playing games.

Give it some thought.

Father.

You're late.

I guess you're busy with your friends
since this is your first leave.

Why are you out here?

And why are you smoking again?

Well, you know.

I just couldn't sleep.

Let's go inside.

It's from your father. He wanted you
to eat something delicious before you go.

I guess that's why he has been working.

What kind

of work does he do?

He doesn't tell me,

but his hands are covered with dirt
whenever he comes home.

I don't think it's an easy job.

It looks like

he gave me his day's wage.

How are you doing?

All right.

I did a few acting gigs,
but I don't get an offer for a lead role.

Why do you go out with me?

It's obvious.

Because I like you.

Do you like me or my money?

What's wrong?

Did something happen at home again?

You don't want me to get divorced, do you?

That way, you can pretend
to play with me for a while,

then go somewhere else and play.

You're right.

I don't want you to get divorced.

It'll be too tough for you.

You still love your husband

a lot.

Sorry. I've been practicing this
these days.

I'll be back after the lesson.
When Grandpa wakes up,

eat your packed lunch with some fruit.
It's over there.

What if he gets angry at me?

He doesn't even recognize me.

That will be even better.

He doesn't get angry at strangers.

I'll be back.

Okay.

-Hello.
-Hey.

You should put on a bit of weight.

You're scrawny, just like your mom.

What year are you in right now?

Second-year in middle school.

I see.

Middle school students
don't like toys like these, do they?

I kept it for you because I thought
you were in elementary school.

There's nothing else I can give you.

I do like toys.

Really?

Then take this.

And this too.

You can have this as well.

I'll give you this too.

But these aren't free.

What do you mean?

I'm giving these to you
so you will listen to your mom

and always be on her side.

Okay.

Your mom

has been through a lot.

So you should show her your support

to let her live a happy life

and take her side.

You and your mom should

live together

happily ever after. Okay?

Are you sure you won't regret

quitting school?

Yes.

And you won't tell me
why you got into a fight?

I'm sorry.

But Yeong-min, this is the worst situation

for you to be brought up in.

It means I'll win by 99 percent

if I file a suit to take you back.

So you better tell me

why you got into that fight

and decided to quit school.

If it was a financial reason,

I'll have to take you back.

It wasn't like that.

Then what's the reason?

But I think
it'll be great to live with you.

CAREGIVER

-Yes, ma'am.
-Hey.

Your father
suddenly had trouble breathing.

He was sent to an emergency room.

His pneumonia became serious,

and he can't breathe on his own.

Ji-soo.

Hye-jeong called me
and told me to run over first.

I see.

What happened to him?

He came down with pneumonia,

then it got serious.

You must've been surprised
when I suddenly called.

Yes, a little.

Your mom doesn't know how long
she'll have to be at the hospital,

so she says you can sleep
at my place tonight

and come to the hospital tomorrow morning.

Okay.

And my husband

kind of looks like a bandit,
but he's not a bad guy.

So don't be scared
and have dinner with him together.

Then you can watch some TV

or study if you feel like it.

Is Grandpa all right?

Hey.

Your grandpa is really strong.

You probably have no idea,
but your grandpa used to be

one of the top three strongest people
in Korea.

He looked thin.

I don't mean that
he was strong like a ssireum player.

I mean that he had the power
to lock up bad people.

Power.

Okay.

DONG-JIN

What?

Do you want to go
to Yeong-u's bar tonight?

I made some unexpected money.

You silly man.

We have no time to talk about
your unexpected money or whatever.

-Hey, Dong-jin.
-Aren't you going to the hospital?

-The hospital?
-I knew it.

Ji-soo wouldn't have told you.

What do you mean?

Ji-soo's father
is in the intensive care unit right now.

Are you Mr. Yun Hyeong-gu's guardian?

Are you expecting
any other family members?

I'm not expecting anyone else.

He has a young grandson, but that's it.

It looks like

you should bid him farewell.

Shouldn't you leave the respirator on him?

He already signed the withdrawal
of life-sustaining treatment.

I'm sorry, Ji-soo.

If you're really sorry,
you have to get back up, Dad.

I never even

got to give you a good hug.

No, I'm fine.

I will take

all the bad things I did

and all of your burdens

to the other side.

So you will

only have good things left in your life.

Make sure

you live happily, Ji-soo.

Dad. No, I'm sorry.

Dad.

Tell Mom and Ji-yeong

that I'm so sorry.

Okay?

Dad.

Dad!

Dad!

I don't want…

anyone else to leave me.

The one he hated the most was

me.

I just couldn't bring myself to say it.

So I leave it to you in writing.

Who's the chief prosecutor again?

The person may have died,

but the evidence remains.

I really don't want anyone to leave me.

I'm okay.

I'm okay with everything now.
