Lovers in Bloom (The Rose of Sharon has Bloomed / Moogoonghwa Kkotyi Pieotseubmida /무궁화 꽃이 피었습니다)

I think we'll have to check if there were any hit-and-runs today.

- Why? - I found blood...

on the drunk driver's car.

We didn't receive any report.

Write a report on drunk driving,

and send it to the traffic accident investigation department.

We should check if there was any accident.

If he hit someone...

There's no report,

and we don't know when and how he got the blood on his car.

We can't conclude it's a hit-and-run.

Is there any way to find out?

What if someone got hurt?

Goodness. We can only hope that didn't happen.

He couldn't speak clearly, but he said he didn't cause an accident.

He gave his consent to the dash cam footage check.

He hit a person. He really did.

That is...

It's behind the school.

This is Chamsu-ri Substation reporting a hit-and-run.

25, Myeongdong-ro.

Call an ambulance now.

Yes, sir.

Sir, can you hear me? Sir!

This is Unit 1. We found the victim.

Send an ambulance.

If you see this...

How did it go?

He hurt his head. He's in critical condition.

Oh, dear.

That place isn't tucked away in the street. It doesn't make sense...

that no one reported to the police.

They said they thought he got drunk and fell asleep.

You know people hate to get involved in others' problems.

They don't like coming to the police station as a witness.

Luckily, Mr. Cha found the blood with his keen eyes.

Or the victim could've been in a worse situation.

Mr. Cha saved his life.

What about the driver?

He kept babbling without knowing he caused an accident,

and he called his lawyer.

He seems like a rich boy, but he's an awful person.

He's trying to get away with this. He doesn't care about the victim.

Mr. Park, you're so quiet today.

Pardon?

What would I have to say? We got the culprit.

Mr. Cha, write a report, and send it to the police station.

Yes, sir.

My gosh. The world is getting worse and worse.

People think other's life is a joke.

It makes me so sad.

The victim injured his head and was taken to a hospital.

Koo Jong Yoon, you're under arrest for drunk driving...

and violating the additional punishment law on specific crimes.

Are you going to let me go to prison?

Do something!

My client was forced to consent...

to the dash cam footage check whilst unfit.

That's a shame.

He wasn't forced to do that.

I'll show you if you want.

I never gave my consent.

Did you not hear him?

I was unfit.

You were unfit?

Is that how you're planning to get away with this?

How did you even drink and drive?

Anyway, this accident is...

Don't call it an accident!

Drunk driving is the same as pre-notified murder.

- Officer Moo. - Did anyone die?

Is he dead?

He lived.

I'll pay him compensation!

Who are you to bring up murder and cause a commotion?

Compensation?

Do you think you can compensate for the loss of a life?

What about the pain the victim and his family will go through?

Officer Moo, come with me.

Gosh. This is ridiculous.

Why would she overreact like that?

- You should know you're lucky. - What did you say?

If the victim wasn't alive, you would be a murderer now.

Why are you being so sensitive? This isn't you.

I'm always thoughtless and react emotionally.

Moo Goong Hwa.

Go back to your seat.

I thought she was tender-hearted. She's scary when angry.

He gave her a reason to cry when she was waiting for a chance.

Officer Moo gets sensitive about drunk drivers.

I heard her husband's accident was caused by a drunk driver.

Comfort her without letting her know.

Gosh.

Okay. Focus!

Darn it.

This is why I hate you.

I'm not in a good mood today. Don't joke around with me.

That's why I like you.

What is it?

I did something I didn't want to do.

I should've refused it no matter what.

If it was a difficult case, you must have been paid a lot. What's wrong?

It was a hit-and-run by a drunk driver.

Are you saying you don't even want to defend those kinds of people?

Regardless of how good I am...

Regardless of how much you like money.

There are cases I don't want to take.

Rape, drugs, and...

hit-and-runs.

Is that so?

I understand everything else,

but hit-and-runs are accidents.

Most people call things that are uncontrollable accidents.

If you just hit someone, it's an accident.

However, if you run away when you could've saved the person,

that's a crime.

You're right, it's a crime.

If you pretend you didn't know and helped the person,

you'd be an accomplice.

Right, I saw that girl there.

You know, the female officer from the boxing gym.

- Officer Moo Goong Hwa? - Yes, Officer Moo.

She got very upset...

saying drunk driving is pre-notified murder.

She looked very tough.

I'll do it no matter what.

It's no burden.

You promised to include Hae Chan.

No going back on your word.

Of course I'm thankful.

I'll treat you out sometime. Okay.

What kind of tutor asks for a year's worth of tuition up front?

How much is it?

You don't have to know.

What is wrong with you?

Does Hae Chan want to be tutored?

It'll be too late when he wants it. I have to prepare beforehand.

I don't understand.

Why do you want him to study so hard?

I want him to go to university.

The world has changed.

You don't have an easy life just because you go to university.

The college entrance rate was 70 percent last year.

When it's 7 out of 10 people going, it's practically compulsory.

That's why we should help him finish compulsory education.

I want him to go to a national university in Seoul.

Wait and see, I'll make sure he does.

This is unbelievable.

Is that true?

You really saw Oh Gyung Ah?

I'm telling you. How many times do you have to ask?

All right.

I'm certain she lives in this neighborhood.

Have this instead of gritting your teeth. That's bad for your teeth.

Wait until I get my hands...

on that woman.

I'll rip her to parts.

Of course.

What should we do with the money when we get it back?

There are plenty of ways to spend it.

Seon Ok, can't we tell your daughter?

We didn't have anyone to ask help for back then,

but now your daughter is a police officer.

Why are you hesitating?

Let's ask her to catch her. Please?

Let me think about this.

How do I get caught everywhere I go?

We need to talk.

I have nothing to say.

- I'm home. - Hi.

- Is something wrong? - What?

Your face looks dark.

No, I'm fine.

Let's go inside.

Mother, I'm home.

What should I do?

I can't run away right now.

I can't let him find out about it.

- Right here? - Yes, there.

Maybe I sleep in a weird position.

I keep pulling muscles nowadays.

It's because you have bad blood circulation.

Is it?

You haven't forgotten about tomorrow, have you?

Where are we going?

I just want to go on a date with you for a change.

A date?

Are pigs flying?

Gosh.

It's just interesting...

that you'd ask me out on a date.

Why aren't you sleeping?

What?

I couldn't sleep.

What is it?

Why can't you just let this go?

My heart breaks...

just by seeing you sitting there with your back to me.

I caught a drunk driver today.

And?
