Whatever happens to me, I can manage
I'll hold my head up high

I'll keep on going
< Episode 15 > Geum-soon. Geum-soon.
It's good. Have some more.
Don't use that alarm clock. I hate it.
I was quite tired yesterday.
Why use it when it never wakes you up?
It wakes YOU up.
What?
- Then she...? - No.
I tell myself I should wake up, but I'm a deep sleeper.
Tae-wan's coming home. Don't be late.
I have to go somewhere.
- You'll be late? - Yes.
Too bad. Can you make it?
Yes.
Then we'll need more groceries.
I'll really kick you out if you come home late.
OK.
If only you'd let it lay.
What do you mean?
Need help?
She means she's sick of you saying you'll kick her out.
Let her visit her grandma.
She's been coming home late ever since her grandma moved to Seoul.
That's not true. I'm not late every time.
Why don't you just move in with her?
I won't be late today.
Yes?
Can I come in?
Sure.
Another blind date?
How did you know?
You always wear that tie on blind dates.
Really?
I'm not into neckties, but your hairstyle's terrible.
Need some help?
That hairstyle's the only reason you're still single.
A hairstyle can make or break a person.
Your style is ruining you. First impressions really count.
Thanks, but I'll feel awkward with a new hairstyle. Maybe later.
Don't want a change?
OK. But tell me if you change your mind.
Sure.
- Good luck today. Fight on. - Thanks.
Why that...
Pull over. Hey!
Pull over.
Pull over! Hey! You!
Let's talk.
Let's talk it out. Pull over.
What?
You shouldn't do that, sir.
So what?
That's all.
I'm cool with it now.
The light's green...
Bye.
Gosh, they looked tough.
- I told you not to eat in here. - Sorry, sir.
- Open the window. - OK.
Don'tjust stand there. Get lost.
OK.
Leave the door slightly ajar.
- Good morning. - Hello.
Your blood pressure's great. How do you feel?
Doesn't it hurt?
It does, a lot.
Want me to tie your hand up like this?
Sorry, sir.
You moron.
- Do it again. - Yes, sir.
- How do you feel? - Good.
I can tell. Turn around for me.
Let's see.
- Change the dressing. - OK.
Looks great.
Your patience is paying off big time.
One more surgery and you'll be good to go.
- Don't worry, OK? - OK.
- I'm dying... - You won't die over that.
- Got some exercise? - You brat.
What exercise? I can't even sit up.
You're shouting at me though.
Send me home.
Start walking around then. Then I'll send you home.
It's all up to you now, OK?
You son of a witch. You have no parents? Didn't they teach you manners?
You're a psychic. I don't have a father.
Get some exercise.
Have you eaten?
It's been a while. Please come more often.
- More tea? - No thanks.
- A perm? -Just a trim.
You could do with a perm.
Maybe next time. I'm busy.
OK.
Change the CD. This one's too gloomy.
How about Britney Spears?
OK.
- Another facelift? - I think so.
Why don't they cherish what they have, like I do?
How many customers today?
- She's our first. - What?
Water. Ice water.
I'll be right back. Bye, Hwee-sung.
Don't be late or I will really kick you out.
OK. Bye, Hwee-sung.
- Bye, ma'am. - Bye.
Hello.
Hello. You're looking for a salesperson?
We're looking for married women.
I know, I'm married.
You are? Nah...
I am. I have a kid too.
See?
It's me.
This kid is my son. Cute, huh?
Thank you. I'll work really hard.

Veggies on sale, they're cheap.
Buy some fresh veggies.
How much?
$15.
- Not today. Bye. - They're cheap.
But they're fresh.
- Granny! - Gosh.
My ears...
It's you, my baby.
I knew you'd be here. Stop this.
I need to work.
You don't earn much anyway.
Don't say that. A few dollars go a long way.
Wait till it gets warm. What if you become sick?
Don't worry, I've done this before.
- Let's go home. - Don't...
- You're squishing them. - I'm not. Let's go home.
- Come on. - Don't squish them.
- Come. - Wait.
I wish I knew too.
Come on. A wife should know where her husband is!
Husband? I hate his guts.
My own brother lost his house because of him, OK?!
Don't make us angry.
Whatever. I'm sick of this too. Kill me if you want to!
Let her have it. Trash the place!
- What are you doing?! - Don't do this.
- Then what?! - It's not our fault, is it?
I want my money back!
Did I take it?! Did I?! Why the heck are you here?!
- What? Why you...! - No! No violence!
Yeah, you're creditors, not gangsters.
Hit me. Come on. Let's see what you can do!
No, no, calm down.
Dang!
My goodness...
That was all we had. Why you...!
- Let go. - Are you OK?!
You...!
You OK, Geum-soon?
- Stop this, you jerks! - Stop this! Stop!
Stop or I'll call the police!
The police? Great, call them.
Call them so I can get my money back!
I'll pay you back. Let me pay you back.
You have $30,000?
Not right now, but I have a job.
- I earn $400 a month... - You think this is a joke?!
- Stop, please... - Don't do this!
Auntie!
How do you feel? Want a tranquilizer?
No, it's a waste of money.
Did they have to break our only TV?
How did they find you?
We thought we'd escaped them. Where should we go now?
I'm sick of running away. Let them kill us if they want to.
I'll clean up. You get some rest.
What was that about? You earn $400 a month?
Delivering health products.
Really? Your mother-in-law let you?
I haven't told her yet. I have to...
Oh no. She told me not to be late.
Sorry, auntie, I can't clean up.
- Sorry. Bye. - I'm home.
Please let me in.
Ma'am...
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
Where are the groceries?
I must've left them...
at my grandma's. Sorry, ma'am.
You always say that.
I'm sorry.
Whatever.
Dang.
Mr. Noh Shi-wan?
Yes?
Oh, yes, hello.
Hello. I'm Lee Hyun-joo.
Have a seat.
I made you wait?
No, not at all.
I love inline skating. I joined a club too.
Inline skating?
I see.
You must be quite active.
How long have you been into it?
3 or 4 years.
I see...
I'm sorry, but something came up.
Go ahead. I'll finish my coffee.
- Give me a call. - I'm sorry.
(Good luck. It was nice seeing you!)
Do you know her?
Pardon?
Oh... Not at all.
No.
Sorry, but I do know her. I should go.
I should say hello, even if it doesn't work out.
Sorry.
Shi-wan.
Sung-ran.
Your blind date's over already?
She had to leave. Guess she didn't like me.
It's been a while.
Yeah, it has. So we meet again?
Last time it was at work...
She's busy.
(Dr. Jang)
Yes?
- You're done? - Yes.
Let's go.
You look tired. We can do this another day.
It's OK.
My wife's lab results are out. Index has risen again.
I see. First time since the transplant?
Yes. It's still OK, but I should warn her.
Let's go. What about your mother?
- I'll pick her up on the way. - You will? OK then.
- Eun-joo, they're here. - Coming.
Thank you for coming, Mrs. Oh.
Thank you for having us.
I hope you like red wine.
My husband does. Thank you.
Welcome, Jae-hee.
Hello. You're just as elegant as before.
Where's Eun-joo?
- Hello, ma'am. - Hi.
- Hi, Jae-hee. - Hey.
Got back last week? Still jet-lagged, huh?
I'm sorry. It won't happen again.
Is Tae-wan home?
Not yet.
I got the groceries. I'll cook dinner.
Why did you let her in?
What else could I do? It was a mistake.
Kids her age all stay out late. She'll want to also.
I'm letting her off lightly today.
Where is he? He could at least call us.
Still no news? Let's just start eating.
Let's waitjust a bit more.
Didn't you hear that? Let's eat, I'm starving.
Geum-soon, set the table.
I'm sure there's a good reason...
I bet my savings there isn't. The fool will be drinking himself silly.
He can't be...
Then why wouldn't he call? I don't care, let's eat.
Here it is, home sweet home.
Hello, the great Tae-wan's back.
No, I shouldn't wake my dad.
Dang, I scratched my handsome face.
Don't hurt me. Please don't.
I promise I won't scream or report you.
My wallet's on the table. My ring and earrings are in the drawer.
The wedding ring's only 18k.
I'd rather you not take it, but you can if you must.
Just don't hurt my child. Please...
You pervert!
You, you pervert!
Who are you?!
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
I can pull through anything
