Be Strong, Geum-soon
Whatever happens to me, I can manage
I'll keep on going
Let life throw what it can at me
I'll laugh and keep going on
Whatever happens to me, I can manage
I'll keep on going
< Episode 6 >
Look at me.
Look at me, you idiot.
Father.
How dare you let me down.
I pay your tuition, and this is how you repay me?
I'm sorry. I really am.
It's me. Where do we get the bus for...
You fool.
I hate you. Get out right now.
You... You've betrayed us.
How... How could you...
You're dating her?
She only just left.
How can she call when she knows what's going on?!
You're dating a girl like her?!
Move. I'll beat the living daylights out of him.
- Father... - Get out of my way.
- Calm down. - Move. You come here!
Stop it. I beat him enough.
You should've beaten him black and blue.
That moron deserves to be beaten. I'll make him feel really sorry.
I supported you so you could have a baby?
- Father... - You...
I'm really sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I let you down.
What's wrong, why are you crying?
Crying won't help anything!
Stop crying. You look stupid.
I said stop!
- Honey. - Huh?
Beat him till he stops. Crying won't solve anything!
Mom. Please.
Sit.
Get up.
Don't play around. It's not funny.
Play around? I got beaten up for no reason.
Sorry, Tae-wan.
You just sat there while dad beat me.
I didn't know why he beat you. Honest.
Yeah, right. I bet you were thinking dad would get tired and let you off.
Be quiet!
What happened?
Are you sure she's pregnant with your kid?
I don't believe this. Are you sure?
Inexperience leads to a disaster.
You didn't use one?
Didn't I tell you that a guy must always be prepared?
You should've used one.
How old is she? She looked young.
Yeah, how old? Is she in high school?
No, she graduated last year. She's 21.
Yeah? That's a relief.
I thought you'd gotten a minor pregnant.
That would be a huge mess-up.
At least she's older than we thought.
What will you do? What did she say?
Her grandma came all the way here.
He's done for.
It's over.
- Here's your order. - Thanks.
- $40. - Here.
- Enjoy. - Thanks, bye.
- Sung-ran. - Why are you here?
I brought some snacks to apologize.
I can't come in tomorrow.
You didn't have to.
Don't come around.
It's our job. We'll do just fine.
But you're working late. Here.
Thanks anyway, but this is it. Don't do this again, OK?
OK.
Wow, pig's trotters?
It's a great snack. This place is famous too.
You like pig's trotters.
I don't.
Really?
I should've asked you.
You liked it back then.
I did?
I don't think so.
It's OK, the guys will appreciate it.
Aren't you cold?
I came in the car. It's OK.
OK then. Go, you'll catch a cold.
I'll get back inside.
Sure.
Bye.
I'm sure she liked pig's trotters.
- Eat up. - Thanks.
- Tell me if you need anything. - OK.
Here.
I'm home.
Have you called Geum-soon?
No.
You should have. I'm curious.
You call her then.
You call her. If I do, your grandma will get mad again.
Hurry.
Geum-soon, it's me.
In the bus. We're on our way home.
We're nearly there.
No, just us two.
He stayed behind.
We'll eat when we get there. Bye.
Geum-ah wants to know when we'll arrive.
Is it your baby?
I should've let you beat him.
I'm so upset.
How could this happen?
How could he betray us like this?
And with the landlady's relative too.
She's his new landlady's family?
Yes.
Her niece.
That fool.
We got him an expensive single room so he could study hard.
I know.
What, they're just friends?
He lied to me.
What do you mean? You know her?
When I visited Jung-wan...
she came to pick me up, saying Jung-wan was busy.
She was so clingy. I should've known.
They were already dating.
No wonder he hasn't come home ever since he moved there.
I guess that's why.
I'm so upset.
To think I even got him tonic so he could study harder.
Didn't I tell you not to?
So, does she attend his college?
No. She graduated from high school to go to some beauty school.
A beauty school? How old is she?
I don't know. She's younger than Jung-wan though.
If she graduated from high school, then she must be 20 or 21.
I don't care. I don't want to know.
Jeez...
Granny, are you tired? Want to lie down?
Why won't you say anything?
Who is it?
- It's me. - Hang on.
Auntie.
- Granny, auntie's here. - Me too.
We need some chili powder.
- Do you have any? - I think so.
You're back early. How did everything go?
Geum-ah told me.
Did you meet his parents? Can she marry him?
I didn't get to talk about that. They gave us some water and we left.
Happy now?
Why...
I'm thirsty. Get me some water.
Geum-ah.
Yes?
What do you call that?
How do you charge a guy who dumps a girl for no reason after sex?
I.I.
What?
Illicit intercourse.
Say a guy slept with a girl...
saying he'll marry her, then suddenly changed his mind.
Then the girl can sue him.
Yes, that's it. That's what I wanted to know.
I'll make them pay.
You want to sue Jung-wan?
Yes. I'm thinking of suing them for that thing you just said.
Granny.
What do you want?
It doesn't apply here. He didn't lure Geum-soon with marriage.
What?
You can't sue Jung-wan.
They both agreed to do it without any conditions.
- It doesn't apply... - Plain English, please!
She's saying you can't sue him. It won't work.
Why not? He ruined my granddaughter's life.
Granny, I told you he said he'd marry me.
Then why did he ignore us while we got kicked out?
He didn't ignore us, he just didn't turn around.
It's the same thing. The jerk ignored us.
He's not a bad guy! He'll keep his word!
He'll call me soon!
Don't call him a jerk!
Are you saying I fell for a jerk?!
Are you saying I'm a fool?! Do you want me to be one?!
What...?
I don't want to be called a fool!
He'll call me tomorrow!
She never yells at granny like that.
Your grandma said all the wrong things. Geum-soon's already agitated as she is.
Yeah, it looks like Jung-wan might have a change of heart.
That's why granny wants to sue him.
I think so too.
When your grandma dragged him out of class that day...
all he could say was that he'd marry Geum-soon.
But he changed the minute he got home.
He won't want to get married now.
I guess you're right.
Your grandma messed up.
She should've made plans before barging in.
What kind of plans?
I don't know much, but she should've waited.
Now's a good time to abort the baby. They might bring it up.
The silly thing.
I feel sorry for her. She looked so uneasy.
Granny. Are you asleep?
I'm sorry I yelled at you.
I was so angry at Jung-wan.
I'm sorry. I won't do it again.
Granny.
Will he really call me?
Calm down. You need some sleep.
I can't breathe. I feel like I'm drowning.
That temper...
I'm dying here. Something in my chest...
What's wrong? Feel like throwing up?
Are you OK? Need some help?
I don't want to throw up. I'm too tired to anyway.
You didn't even have dinner. Just go back and lie down.
Mom, what's wrong? Feeling sick?
You look bad.
Get that out of here.
You brought noodles in here? Get out!
Why shout at me?
You feel like eating in this situation?
Feeling better? Let's go back.
What did I do?
Get some sleep.
How could he do this to me?
I shouldn't have had him, like you said.
- Really? - Yeah.
Get her some medicine.
Father...
Follow me.
Get ready. You know why we're out here!
I didn't want to do this, but you upset your mother too much.
Count loudly, so she can hear.
OK.
I said loudly!
OK.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
Get up!
Get up.
Father.
Be quiet.
Jung-wan, get up!
9.
10.
Get up. Right now!
Stop it.
No way. You're not feeling any better.
It's too late for this. You'll wake the neighbors.
That's enough.
Get up.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Look after him.
OK.
- Are you OK? - Would you be?
Dad's a great batter. He won't be able to walk for days.
I'd be fine in 2 days, but it'll take him at least 3.
Stop jabbering and open the door.
- Careful. - Look at that snot.
It was like a monthly ritual for me.
Not bad for his age. I should lay low for a while.
You should lie down. How do you feel?
Better.
Why'd you beat him? I didn't tell you to.
Why, you feel sorry for him already?
Now I know what my parents went through.
I took my time.
My late mother must have suffered.
Did he call?
I said I'd tell you if he does. Stop asking.
I wanted to know. You and your temper...
Just stop asking me.
OK. Eat up.
The scumbag. It's been days. What if he doesn't call?
Slow down, you'll get indigestion.
You're up.
How is it?
- It hurts. - Of course it does.
You groaned all night. Need some more ointment?
No thanks. I should suffer some more.
It hurts a lot, but I feel much better.
What's she...?
Don't perverts feel better when it hurts?
What's she like?
She's kindhearted. And pretty.
Pretty? Get your eyesight checked.
She has no sense of style whatsoever.
Stay out of it. We can't talk.
Talk then.
Jeez.
What does she do? Is she a student?
Father's up. You go wash up.
OK.
Good morning, father.
What's Jung-wan doing?
He's washing up. He didn't sleep much, but he's up early.
He doesn't deserve to sleep. Tell him to come over when he's done.
OK.
Cook breakfast later. I told Jung-wan to come over.
What for?
You'll find out.
Look at me. Look at me.
Looks like you know you did wrong.
I wouldn't be shocked if it were Tae-wan.
How could you do this? You, of all people.
I'm sorry.
You should be. You wronged your mother.
Mom.
It's spilt milk.
We have to do something. What do you plan to do?
Answer me. You must have a plan.
We decided to have the baby.
What?
We'll get married.
Says who? Who says you can?
I won't stop
I'll reach for the sky
I can make a change
Tomorrow's a new day
Life is bright, things will get better
I won't stop
I'll reach for the sky
I can make a change
Tomorrow's a new day
I will try again
