Be Strong, Geum-soon
Whatever happens to me, I can manage
I'll keep on going
< Episode 17 >
Hey, you, come here.
- Me? - Yes.
- You need something? - Yes.
Get that thing under my bed.
- This? - Yes, my toilet.
Draw the curtain and help me pee in it.
- I really need to go. - Me?
Anyone else here?
No. OK, hang on.
Lift your bottom up.
- You're wearing thermals? - It's so cold.
You can pee now.
- My goodness, how could you? - She shouldn't do this. Ma'am.
Go, leave her alone. Even doctors shouldn't...
Ma'am, I told you to walk.
I was going to go out.
But she stopped me, saying I shouldn't walk.
- Ma'am. - Who is she?
- Isn't she your granddaughter? - I don't know her.
- Ma'am. - Who are you?
I was just... passing by...
(Jangsoo Health Products)
Are these yours?
Yes.
Try one.
I'm handing out free samples.
It tastes good too.
You want to sell this to someone with a ruptured intestine?
No, but...
You dung flies have no conscience.
What?
Since when were peddlers allowed in?
Kick her out.
Let's go.
- Wait... - Now.
Now!
OK, I will, wait, please...
Go, don't come back.
You know you can't eat until you break wind.
I'm a person, not a dung fly.
Are you a fly? Is that why people look like flies to you?
What, ''You dung flies have no conscience''?
Good memory.
I didn't try to sell her anything. These are all samples.
I'm handing them out for free.
What nonsense.
What?
You want them to buy more. Aren't you here to sell your drinks?!
- I can't say no... - Wait.
Why am I wasting my time?
Look, peddlers aren't allowed in here.
Get lost.
Before I call security.
I will go, even if you beg me to stay.
Don't call me a peddler. It doesn't sound nice, OK?
And mister, don't waste food.
So what if you're a doctor? You're not a decent human being.
What?!
Hey.
Stop!
Hey!
Stop!
Sorry.
So what if he's a doctor? Peddlers are human too.
Bring in her medicine.
- I'm warning you... - Her wind broke.
- Really? - Yes.
That's great. You haven't eaten for days.
- Hey. - ''Famous restaurants''?
You seeing someone?
Be quiet.
Let's go.
Why'd you call me over?
No reason, you said you were nearby.
I thought you needed my advice.
- No way... - It's nothing to hide.
What's she like?
You know I'm a walking encyclopedia on dating.
Just eat your chicken.
It takes experience. Know-how doesn't come cheap.
You're into Korean food.
Pork belly and soju is not sexy.
I guess you don't want my help.
I saw you surfing the web for nice restaurants.
Make a reservation.
What if it's closed on that special day?
It's even worse when she's really hungry.
Yeah... You're right. I should call ahead.
Don't be TOO nice to her. She'll think she's all that.
Push and pull, get it?
It's not... that easy.
You think dating's easy?
People like you tend to pull too hard...
So?
You know how we pay for certain kinds of information?
Yes.
Got any money?
Gosh, I thought you'd changed...
- Let's go. - Shi-wan.
I just got discharged. I have friends to meet and things to do.
Jeez. OK, finish what you were saying.
How much?
Here.
Take it.
It should last you about a month.
Think what you want to do. Start planning for your future.
Why so much? What's wrong? You're scaring me.
- I can take it back. - Don't.
It's such a shock.
I'm so touched.
Stop it.
Finish what you were saying.
- Huh? - And then?
Be really nice to her for a couple of months.
Then don't call for a week.
Turn your cell phone off too.
She'll text you and leave voicemails like crazy.
Eat up.
- Bye. - Thanks.
- Don't drink too much. - I won't. Bye.
I gave Tae-wan some money and he just can't get over the shock.
Family means more now that Jung-wan's dead.
I realized we don't always get to say goodbye.
So, how about dinner today?
How sweet.
It's me, 0. How about 6 PM tomorrow?
Sounds great.
You want a haircut?
It's too short for a haircut.
Then a perm?
Is that all you know?
Handsome, huh? It's me.
Make me look like this again.
She'll tell me to come straight home. I have to apply for a job.
Your mom just left you here?
Where is she? I told her I wasn't feeling well.
Leaving me to baby-sit...
Good boy.
Hey...
Wait.
I thought you left. I've been looking for you.
- You're still angry? - Yes, I am.
I'm sorry.
That jerk's so scary, I had to lie.
Bring me 2 drinks a day.
You have a ruptured intestine.
I can eat now. I just broke wind.
- 2 a day. - I don't trust you.
Oh, come on. Let's go and ask the doctor then.
1 for me and 1 for my nurse.
Come later, when the jerk's not around.
Thank you. You're my first customer.
Ms. Manager.
Making fun of me?
You're smart.
She's in her room.
If only I looked like this.
How sad.
It's a pity we have to age.
What great lyrics.
''The young don't know they're young, and lovers don't know it's love.''
''But now I see we were young...''
''and in love.''
Jae-hee's here, Mrs. Oh.
Son, why are you here?
I asked him to take me out.
Your working should do everyone, including your father, a lot of good.
''Should''?
- Mom. - Yes?
Does she work at all? Aren't you giving yourself a hard time?
See? I told you. He doesn't take me seriously.
He doesn't mean it. Sorry, but I have dinner plans.
- You do? - Yes.
It'll be boring then. Let's go out some other time.
I get hurt quite easily. You're kidding, right?
No.
Welcome.
Which stylist are you here to see?
Actually, I'm here to apply for a job.
- You work here? - Leave it on that desk.
There?
Yes, get going.
When will you call me? I really want to work here.
Ma'am.
- You're going out? - Yes.
Don't worry about me.
- Son, see you at home. - Sure.
Bye.
- See you tomorrow. - Take care.
Hello.
Hi. Gosh, you could do with a new style.
I'm here to apply for a job.
Please let me work here.
I told you to get going.
Please let me work here.
I saw your stylist's work in a magazine.
I'd love to work here.
I'll work really hard. I'll work my fingers to the bone.
OK, wait for my call then.
Thank you. Please call me.
She called him ''son''?
What bad luck.
Dang... I should've kept quiet.
Who cares what I'm called? I know I'm not a dung fly.
Gosh, time flies.
- Why are you laughing? - Huh? Because I'm happy.
- I understand. - Gosh.
You're so corny.
You amaze me.
How?
I didn't believe it when I heard you'd gone to London, but you made it.
And you got a job too.
I'm upset.
Why? It's a compliment.
It means you thought I was useless.
OK, not useless, but a bit lazy.
Your father was very worried about you.
I'll amaze you even more.
Let's date.
Don't be silly.
I'm serious. I've been in love with you for a long time.
I'm serious. I'm pretending I'm strong...
but my heart's going crazy.
Thump, thump, thump.
I'm owing up because I'm afraid you'll hear it.
Let's go, lazybones.
You can say no.
But don't treat it like it's a joke.
It'll hurt even more.
I won't do that, so let's go.
I'll think about it, OK?
Let's go.
- Feeling shocked and confused? - Of course.
'Should I take her home, should I refuse her over some coffee...
or should I say I'll think about it?'
You read minds too?
You're serious?
No way, you can't.
Don't say no today.
I thought about it for days and nights.
You have to think for at least a few days.
That's the least you can do for a fellow human being.
Eun-joo. Were you always this talkative?
Don't smile. I'm still shocked and confused.
Let's call it a day and go home.
No news from her today.
I bet her mother-in-law told her off for leaving home too often.
She should move out ASAP.
Why stay when her husband's dead?
If only I could rent a small apartment.
My useless son... The fool...
That witch wouldn't let Geum-soon in if we lived in a palace.
She can't even bear to look at her...
It's so good. What's the occasion, mom?
You're so happy over a mere pizza?
Eat up.
Shouldn't we leave some for granny?
She doesn't eat pizza.
You eat up.
It's a legitimate job. Famous pros have huge fan clubs.
Some kids even skip school to see them play.
You mean I should let you go since you didn't do so?
I'm just saying.
Are you OK?
Yes, I am.
What's wrong? Does it hurt?
No, it's not that.
What's wrong? Is it the kidney?
No.
I'm a bit constipated.
What?
Gosh, gross.
Thank you, please call me.
I'm done. 1 out of 3 should call.
When did it get so dark? I'm dead meat.
Eat up.
- You're not joining us? - I've lost my appetite.
Honey, stay and eat with us.
Where the heck is this witch anyway?
Don't call her that.
She deserves to be called that.
You...
Fine.
Why, you're not hungry either?
What's wrong with everyone?
Food mustn't be taken so lightly.
I'm sure she has a reason.
You go join her then.
It's not just today.
We all know how long this has been going on for.
Don't side with her.
Why can't she even call us then?
I said I wasn't feeling well. I told her not to wake me up.
How can she do this? She doesn't take me seriously.
You're right.
I can't believe she doesn't even have a cell phone.
I'm home.
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
