When My Love Blooms (The Most Beautiful Moment in Life / Hwayangyeonhwa: Salmi Kkochi Dweneun Soongan / 화양연화: 삶이 꽃이 되는 순간)

Is it some kind of loyalty for your colleagues?

Or is it a sense of justice?

Why?

I learned it from you.

You taught me the losing side is our side.

Let go of me!

Stop it! Stop!

What a relief.

Are you done watching?

I heard it was your idea to get the police involved.

I told you to get rid of them, didn't I?

I planned to negotiate with them, for show,

to leave a record that we followed procedures.

Whether it's for show or not,

why should we negotiate with them?

Why are you acting out of character?

Do they have something on you?

I made the decision with the media in mind.

You fear public sentiment?

Are you a celebrity?

I'm more famous than most celebrities, thanks to you.

Economic crimes, corruption,

illegal tax evasion.

I'm the scum of the earth that does all the worst things.

So now you want people to stop calling you that,

and become an elegant hunter, is that it?

If I were a hunter,

that's not how I'd corner the hare.

Most of them are women in their 40s and 50s.

If you disperse them with force, there will be a backlash.

That could be true.

Come back tomorrow morning.

You're here...

to ask me to help you save face.

I must consider something first.

Will you just admit to it?

Do you have a husband?

- No. - Parents?

None.

Don't you have a guardian?

I am my guardian.

That's what you think.

Basically, you don't have anyone to vouch for you?

Then you can't leave today.

Even if someone did vouch for you,

you'd have to stay the night.

- Investigate the Gwangju massacre! - Investigate the Gwangju massacre!

- Investigate the Gwangju massacre! - Investigate the Gwangju massacre!

- Investigate the Gwangju massacre! - Gosh, how scary.

Investigate...

Let's go before we get drenched in tear gas.

I want to talk to Jae Hyun.

You can't. They'll shoot any minute.

This is a major event. It'll be fine.

Are you crazy?

Go on home.

Yoon Ji Su!

Darn it.

Investigate the Gwangju massacre!

- Look down! - Don't look up!

- Look down! - You.

Hey, you.

Look down!

- Watch it. - Don't look up.

Do you have a lighter?

- Down. - What?

- Do as you're told. - Hey!

Hide it if you do.

They'll arrest you for lighting Molotov cocktails.

Look down.

- Hey. - Move!

Look down!

Your father's name.

Your father's name.

Yoon Hyung Gu.

This keeps getting stuck.

His workplace.

His workplace!

Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.

You're lying in great detail.

Why not say your dad's the president?

That is where he works.

What does he do there?

Is he a paralegal?

A chief prosecutor.

You're completely out of your...

I was going to escort your daughter home.

Forget it.

Pardon?

No, not right now.

Later.

"Illegal protesting, obstruction,"

"obstruction of justice".

Wow, you have a flashy record.

Are you a professional protestor?

I got sued after I was wrongfully fired.

How is that related to today's protest?

If I got fired before,

should I stay silent if I got fired this time?

The illegal dismissal is the employer's fault.

Is it the worker's fault?

Come on now. We're both experts in our fields.

Some of you go undercover to get jobs...

and instigate others to protest.

Choi Sun Hee, you keep quiet.

This will take a while.

Ms. Yoon Ji Su's still inside.

Some left with their guardians,

but those with a record or those who seem suspicious...

will be detained.

You don't know why Ji Su's being kept?

No, I couldn't get that much.

I knew nothing...

about Ji Su.

What lectures she takes,

who her friends are. Nothing.

Yes, you idiot.

You really have a problem.

Protesting isn't a great title.

Why must those around you suffer?

Hello, Books for Today.

Yes, Mr. Kim.

I haven't checked the stock yet.

Yes. I'll call when I get them.

Yes. Goodbye.

Hey, go and page me.

- Something's not right. - Your pager is innocent.

You're the guilty one.

Give up on her.

Haven't you heard? Her dad is a chief prosecutor.

What if he sentences you to 10 years?

You saw how...

his wrist moved when he slapped her.

The full swing with zero hesitation.

He finally got the message.

What a relief.

Sleep well,

Ji Su.

Jae Hyun.

How could you just walk away?

Give me your shoes.

You have huge feet.

How do you know?

Your footprints.

In the snow.

You silly thing.

You're so high-maintenance.

You're so sweet.

Don't your feet hurt?

Let's swap shoes back.

Ji Su.

Yes?

I don't like war movies.

Of course, I hate wars even more.

Why would you suddenly say that?

Whether he's a general or an officer,

the lead always gives orders from the center.

At the front line,

nameless soldiers take all the fire.

Whoever manages to survive...

gets cut down by the bayonet.

No one there...

deserves to get shot or cut down like that.

Until they fall, they're all the lead in their own lives.

Even if it's just a movie,

considering humans just a means or a pawn...

is despicable.

Humans...

should never crush others for whatever reason.

That's another reason I protest.

Also, I don't have a religion, but I believe deities exist.

So...

I believe that all men are children of deities.

Ji Su.

To deities, every human...

is precious and meaningful.

Don't let anyone treat you badly.

Not even family.

You are...

a special and precious...

child of a deity.

Your feet really are huge.

Is that why you're so nice?

Shall I take another look?

- Let's go home. - Okay.

The reason you're doing things you didn't...

is her, isn't it?

Whenever you act strangely, that woman seems to be involved.

It could be because of her.

She brought back old memories.

Things that I used to believe were right.

They aren't an organized labor union,

and they're not using the protest to sway the company.

They're just someone's mother and grandmother.

They're people like you and our mothers.

Shoving them to the side isn't the only solution.

Exactly. Why did you turn so soft?

Why did you suddenly change? It's freaking me out.

I might change even more.

What does that mean?
