Be Strong, Geum-soon
Whatever happens to me, I can manage
I'll keep on going
< Episode 19 >
Hello?
Oh, hello.
No, I'm at home.
Now?
Oh my gosh, please don't do this
A woman's heart sways easily
Please don't... A different song?
It's swimming, it's swimming, the tadpole's swimming
Its legs soon appear
It's become a frog
You're going out?
See you.
I'll be late.
You went shopping?
I have to finish my round. I'll cook dinner when I get back.
Let's go.
The brats.
I'll save up, leave that house and rent a place with Geum-soon.
Miss, buy some fresh veggies.
I grew them myself, they're fresh.
- Granny. - Hey, my baby's here.
You brought him too?
He's so cute. Such a sweet boy.
Why'd you bring him out?
I had to finish my round.
You really are working?
You thought I lied?
Isn't it hard work?
It's nothing compared to what you do.
I wish you'd stop doing this. You'll ruin your legs and back.
You're the best.
I'm fine.
Leave him with me for a while.
No way, he's too heavy for you.
He's tiny, he can't be that heavy.
- Hand him over. - No, you'll hurt your back.
I'll be done soon.
I just came by to see you.
Thanks.
I have to go.
Don't stay too long.
- I can't come by later. Take care. - OK, bye, see you.
Hey, wait.
I only have $7. Take it.
No thanks.
It's not much. Take it.
It's a lot to you.
Just take it. Buy yourself a snack.
You can't run around on an empty stomach.
You should go.
- OK. - Bye.
Go, see you.
- See you. - Bye, sir.
- Jae-hee. - Huh?
When'd you get here?
Hi. How do you feel?
Have you had breakfast yet? I brought your drinks.
My knee hurts.
- Your knee? - Yes.
- Here? - Yes, right there.
Gosh, that feels so good.
I feel so much better.
My grandma says I can massage away all kinds of strains.
- She did? - Yes. Feeling better?
Yes, sure am. You ARE good.
I couldn't sleep at all last night.
Really? Sleep then. I'll stay with you.
The weather's great. Spring must be coming.
You're right. It's much warmer.
What about work?
I'm out checking the recent trend.
Have you thought about it?
You said you would.
I live by 2 rules.
I never lose.
And...
I don't date anyone who knows anyone I know.
You're my professor's daughter. You're like my sister.
You're rejecting me?
Yes.
Because I'm my dad's daughter?
Yes.
Eun-joo. Let's meet in the afterlife.
That's your reason?
It's not because you don't like me or aren't attracted to me?
Definitely not. You're a great catch.
You're pretty and your family's decent.
I don't want to let you go.
Let's not make Dr. Jang wait.
I'll cut all family ties.
I'm sure it's legal.
- I will, so... - Hey.
- Let's go on 1 0 dates. - Don't be stubborn.
Just 10.
If you still say no, then I'll give up on you.
You know me. Just 10 dates.
Eun-joo.
You know me as Dr. Jang's daughter. Not as a separate being.
If you were married, had a fiancee...
had a boyfriend, or were my cousin...
I'd give in if your reason made sense.
Eun-joo.
You can't reject me just because I'm my dad's daughter.
You're not even giving me a chance.
That's unfair.
I've waited 7 years for this.
Don't you think I deserve 10 dates? Don't you?
I'd say yes out of mere pity.
You said I'm a catch.
Don't you want a date with me?
I do, but...
Eun-joo.
It's an emergency.
I have to go.
I'm really upset now.
You look so relieved.
I have to go. Let's talk about this later.
No way. I feel like I'm not done using the restroom.
I know what you mean. But a lady shouldn't say that.
Let's finish this conversation. I'll wait for you right here.
No way. You're coming with me.
I'll wait. See you later.
Don't be stubborn.
Get up.
Your father might give in, but not me.
Let's go.
It's so warm.
You...
Wait if you want. I have an operation soon.
OK?
Bye.
I'll wait. Bye.
I really will.
Jae-hee.
You look so sexy. I love that in a guy.
Don't be silly. Go home.
I really can't come out.
OK?
- He was there that day. - Really?
Yeah, with a crazy hairdo.
- He called you? - He called me too.
He needs to see a stylist. Or I won't see him again.
- Two different earrings? - It's the trend.
- It's SO not the trend. - Are you insane?
- Look at mine, they're expensive. - He said he's into me.
- He called me too. - Me too.
- He has some serious issues. - Tell me about it.
Thank you. Bye.
Hey.
Hey!
How dare you.
Stop right there.
Stop.
Are you on drugs? How dare you ignore me.
You're staring at me? Don't you dare.
You're getting on everyone's nerves. Why can't you just wait a year?
Or if you really must work, get her to say yes first, you airhead.
I just got discharged. I can't bear to stay at home because of you.
Just kneel and beg for forgiveness, OK?
Do you get it? Answer me.
Why you... Say yes.
What was that?
I said answer me.
Say you're sorry and make her happy, OK?
Apologize.
Apologize. How dare you talk to me like that.
- I'm your sister-in-law. - Did I say you weren't?
You ARE my sister-in-law, I know.
So apologize. Right now!
What about the stress you're causing me?
You should apologize, not me.
Don't look at me like that. Let's go home.
I can't believe you're Jung-wan's brother.
I'm letting you off today, but don't you dare talk like that again.
Don't you ever compare me to Jung-wan.
Don't ever compare me to anyone else.
I'm home.
- You're back. - Hi.
Hello, granny.
What's all this garlic for?
Some restaurant's paying her for this.
You're working again?
I tried to talk her out of it, but she won't listen.
There are so many.
Granny.
What's that clothespin for? Look at yourself in the mirror.
You're crazy.
I always use a clothespin. What the hell is so funny about it?
Granny.
Do you have to talk like that?
You should be more careful with your words.
Sorry, but that's who I am.
I'm so old-fashioned, I don't even eat pizza.
Mom.
You saw us that day? You should've said so.
- I'm sorry. - We're sorry.
I met Geum-ah on the way... I thought you don't like pizza...
She was so greedy, she... Ow.
Leave it. I'll do it.
But... I said I'm sorry.
Was it that good?
I bet it tasted better than anything.
Making seasoned radish? I'll do it.
You don't want to talk to me?
Ma'am.
I'll make the bean stew then.
Where's Geum-soon?
- Geum-soon! - Coming, sir.
I boiled some rice crust.
I was wondering what the smell was.
- She made it for you. - Yes, I did.
Have some. It tastes good.
Got any more? I'll have some too.
- Sure, sir. Here. - Thanks.
Want some?
Sure.
Tastes great.
Most of the wanted ads were for bankers.
I wanted to wait and see...
but my parents wanted me to work so I wound up getting a job.
That's what happened.
- You're the eldest? - Yes.
They tend to be wishy-washy.
I agree.
But I wanted to work and earn my keep.
I reached my goal without giving up my dream.
Goals and dreams are different.
How so?
It's like the moon and Mars.
Dreams give us hope, goals give us a purpose.
You feel down and betrayed if you fail to reach your goal.
So it means a lot if you do make it.
What?
I see you in a different light.
- Is that a compliment? - Of course.
What was your dream?
It was...
Let's not talk about me.
Let's talk about you. Working at the same company?
No. I have my own firm now.
You do? Since when?
Last year.
I just decided to go for it.
Opportunities come to those who try hard.
I'm very decisive.
That's courage.
Some say I'm reckless.
How many staff?
5 including me. We barely make ends meet.
Tell me if you want help with your home.
OK.
I'll call all my relatives and ask if they're interested.
I wish my salesperson were like you.
Can I hire you?
I'm worth a lot.
How much?
You can't hire me with money.
Why don't you just keep me at your side?
It's raining.
It looks so gloomy.
It should be refreshing.
I'm so lonely.
I'd rather die.
If only Jae-hee were here.
It's a pity he's so busy.
I'm not asleep.
I'm having a rest.
You...
I'm just tired.
Come by the hospital tomorrow.
Next time. I went to the community center today.
Again? Today's your day off.
Hear me out.
2 people didn't show up. They needed my help.
Tell them you can't come anymore.
Want me to call instead?
I like doing it. OK, I'll call them.
- Is it raining? - Yes. Eun-joo's still out.
She's late. I should call her.
She won't pick up. Call Jae-hee.
She's with him?
I think so. She came by to see him.
That's good. He'll give her a lift.
Ask if he's with her. If so, tell him to send her home.
Why?
Don't you like him? I do.
Why do you like him?
He's tall and handsome, unlike you.
You women...
He's talented and gentle.
- Give him a call. - You're jealous?
Jealous? My goodness...
He's not good son-in-law material.
Why not? He's your favorite pupil.
That doesn't mean he can marry my daughter.
It's about his character, not talent.
What's wrong with his character?
Just call him.
- Bye, sir. - See you.
Dr. Jang.
Oh, ma'am.
You did? I was in the OR.
In the OR?
You're not with Eun-joo?
I thought you were. She's not picking up.
Yes.
I don't know.
OK, ma'am.
She's still...?
I'm drenched already.
What are you doing? Do you know what time it is?
Hold this.
Hold it!
You're the one who's late.
I said I was busy. What's wrong with you?!
Don't smile. You deserve a beating.
Do you know how annoying this is?
You think I wasn't annoyed?
Try to think why I'm doing this.
If you're that annoyed, just go.
I take it back.
Let's go.
Before you catch a cold.
You haven't said yes yet.
- You'll date me? - No.
Then I'm not going.
Eun-joo.
Must you do this?
Aren't you old enough to know better?
Then leave me here and go home.
Why do you care what happens to me?
OK.
Just 10 dates.
Don't change your mind.
I'm giving in to you.
Don't smile.
Let's go.
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
