Be Strong, Geum-soon
Whatever happens to me, I can manage
I'll hold my head up high
I'll follow my dream and be happy
I'll keep on going
< Episode 14 > I let Geum-soon in.
No way.
She wants to stay and have the baby.
She'll keep it.
What does it have to do with us?
You thought I'd be happy?
We can't swap a son for a grandchild.
Forget it. I wantJung-wan back.
- Where is she? - Sit down and hear me out.
Ma'am.
You've got some nerve. How dare you come back.
Get out.
You heard me, I said get out!
Honey.
- You want to push your luck? - Please don't do this.
Come out right now.
- Honey! - Come with me.
Come out.
- Stop it! - Come out.
OK, fine, I'll send her away.
I'll send her away, OK?
Put your coat back on. Right now!
Now!
Father.
Give her some money and see her out.
Father. Mom.
It's quite late. Give her enough to stay at a motel.
Abort that baby. We don't want it, understand?
Father.
Let's pay for the operation too. How much is it? Honey, how much?
Shi-wan.
Watch what you say.
You can't kick her out in the middle of the night.
I can't bear to see her either.
I understand how you feel.
Send her away then.
She has nowhere to go.
We can'tjust kick out a pregnant girl.
She has nowhere to go.
Her grandma moved in with her aunt. She really doesn't have a home.
And she's an orphan too.
That's why I was against the marriage.
Why you...!
I said no from the beginning, didn't I?
Especially forJung-wan's sake.
What did I say?
So why didn't you listen to me?
OK, I killed my son. Happy now?
What do you want me to do? Leave?
Want me to die too? Is that what you want?
What's this?
Ramen. She looked like she was about to faint.
I bet she starved all day.
How's mom?
I'll take this in.
She'll want to eat alone.
Leave it here and tell her to come out.
OK.
Yes?
Come out. Come on.
Sit.
- Shi-wan made it. Eat up. - I bet you're hungry.
You must be. You lost your wallet.
Eat before it gets cold.
I told you she'd want to eat alone.
Geum-soon.
Thank you for the ramen.
I've been starving. I haven't eaten for two days.
You liked it?
Yes. It was the best ramen ever.
Thank you, big bro...
Sh... Shi-wan.
Sorry, I'm not used to it.
You're really going to have the baby?
Yes.
You're only 21. It'll be tough. Aren't you scared?
I am. But I have you.
I only have a grandma, but this baby will have two uncles.
Still, it's your baby. Can you manage?
I don't know what a good mom does.
But I can play with him.
We'll play games, watch TV, and I'll walk him home from school.
I'll join him on picnics and look pretty at PTA meetings.
Actually...
I saw Jung-wan in last night's dream.
It's true.
He slapped me hard and I found out I'd been sleeping on a park bench.
He woke me up.
He kept me from trouble, sir.
He should be angry.
He died because of me...
but he still came to protect me.
Then the baby kicked me. For the first time.
Like it was saying, ''What are you doing here?''
So I came here.
I thought I should stay here.
This is the baby's home.
Jung-wan protected me. I should protect the baby.
Are you asleep? I know you're not.
Jung-wan sent Geum-soon here in her dream.
My son sent her back. She's staying here.
I feel bad without you glaring at me.
I try to think it was his fate...
but I wish I'd said no, like you did.
If only I could...
I'd take Jung-wan's place.
Good morning.
I'll cook breakfast.
You have nowhere to go? Why can't you move in with your grandma?
It's my aunt's home.
You don't have any other relatives?
No.
I'll find you a place. I'll even pay a few months' rent, OK?
No way.
What? You don't have a say.
I'm your daughter-in-law.
Please let me stay.
I really can't, OK? Move out.
I can't. I'm staying here.
What's wrong with you?
I'm sorry.
My goodness...
This is insane, why won't she pick up?
You're still worried? He said she was fine.
What else would he say, that they're giving her a hard time?
If only she'd just pick up.
You think she's OK?
I'm not a psychic, I'm a housewife.
I just hope she's OK. All we can do is wish her well.
Yeah. If we wish hard enough, then it will come true.
What nonsense. Like mother, like daughter.
I should pay them a visit. Being polite is getting me nowhere.
My baby's life is at stake.
I should bring her back. There's no point in getting worked up.
Where will she live?
She's not coming here, OK?
I can take you in, but not her.
How can you say that?
A cornered mouse will bite the cat. I did more than enough to this day.
I've had enough. Push me further and something ugly might happen.
My husband's driving me mad already. Give me some room!
A cornered cat will bite a mouse? She's saying she'll bite me?
It's the other way around. A mouse will bite the cat.
That's what I said. You're just as bad as your mom.
Cats bite mice, you witch.
Don't call me that.
What should I call you then?
You witch.
Ma'am, will you try the stew?
It tastes bland. I think it needs more bean paste.
- Shi-wan. - Yes?
Take this.
Only three bowls of rice?
She shouldn't be so mean.
I'm sure there was enough. I'll make more tomorrow.
Let's eat.
- Bon appetit. - Enjoy.
Where's the other... Where's Tae-wan?
- He joined the army. - Oh...
Gosh, Geum-soon. I can't eat this much.
Half of this will do. I don't eat much in the morning.
You're still hungry? Get more rice.
Can I take that if you're done?
But it's leftover rice... Just go get some more.
It's OK, I'll eat that.
You didn't have enough. Here, eat this too.
Eat up. You always feel hungry at your age.
How did you know?
Shi-wan.
Do me a favor.
What is it?
Could you get me a book on pregnancy?
OK.
Thank you. One with lots of details.
Sure.
Here you are.
- Looks great. - Sure does.
How's Ms. Ha?
Excuse me. Where's Ms. Ha?
Ms. Ha. She was here.
Oh, try the library upstairs.
Upstairs? Thank you.
Gosh, look.
- That many? - More than before.
I'm under lots of stress. It's crazy.
Feels good.
What?
It's nothing.
Yeah.
It would be strange if she didn't have a boyfriend.
I shouldn't be upset about this.
You idiot.
You were away for a week and she didn't call even once.
Why are you here?
Everything's ready?
Hello?
Jae-hee?
What's up?
A subarachnoid hemorrhage? Any edemas?
OK, I'll give them a call.
I'm fine.
I want to talk to him.
When will you be back?
Bye.
Dad.
- He has to scrub in. - You could've let me talk to him.
Why are you so interested in him?
- He's her first love. - Hey.
You've known it for some time.
I hope you keep him close.
But he's not in Seoul.
She's going to London because she's bored.
Hey.
She wants to get a job atJae-hee's mom's beauty salon.
Why you... Come here!
He's a playboy.
Jae-hee? No way.
He really is.
1, 2, testing.
Can you hear me?
Was that you? It was, huh?
You shouldn't be kicking yet. But it was you, right?
You must be a genius.
Hello. It's so cool.
What do you do in there?
I cook, clean, and do the washing.
My mother-in-law's still upset.
What should I do?
Are all moms like that?
I miss my grandma.
Go on, put that down.
OK.
Shi-wan, come take this.
Let's go see the doctor.
Me?
I'm not sick.
We'll see a gynecologist. Let's go before it gets too busy.
Ma'am.
Eat all you want.
What's that?
Geum-soon. Geum-soon.
What is it?
