Be Strong, Geum-soon
Whatever happens to me, I can manage
I'll keep on going
< Episode 21 > Wait. Hello.
I want to apologize for what I said.
I told you peddlers aren't welcome.
I know that. I'm here to serve a customer.
I'm really sorry. Accept it. Please.
You're embarrassing me.
Why do you keep smiling? Are you flirting with me?
Huh?
Don't follow me. You're making me angry.
How did he know? He really must've told his mother.
How do you feel?
I'm too tired to talk. I went to hell and back.
You really did.
You could've died of blood poisoning!
What are you upset about?
You scared me to death!
You drank that health drink, right?
I didn't.
You did, here's the proof!
I told you to eat only what we give you.
I did, didn't I?!
I didn't drink it!
Ma'am!
Ma'am.
It's me.
Hello again.
You didn't drink it? Huh?
I didn't want to drink it, but she kept pestering me.
Ma'am.
You asked me to drink it only until I go home.
- Ma'am. - What a nutcase.
What did I tell you?
She had a ruptured intestine, so stuff like this is dangerous!
But I...
Ma'am.
You bloodsucker. You're that desperate for money.
What?
Call security and tell them to keep her away from the hospital.
OK.
Go home if you won't do as I say.
Ma'am.
Hello?
- Security? This is room 1105... - Wait, please.
Ma'am.
It's not true.
Please tell him the truth.
Ma'am.
Something happened. Come quick.
Ma'am.
Walk.
Why won't you believe me? She really ordered 2 a day.
- I wouldn't force her to buy it. - OK, let's say that's true.
But it IS true.
Still, peddlers aren't allowed in here.
I'm a salesperson...
You think this is a joke? Don't come again, get it?
If I see you again, we'll press charges.
What a nasty old lady.
Hello.
Do me a favor.
It's $5.40. Give it to the old lady.
I sold her 4 packs worth $6, but this is all I have.
It's not enough, but I hope she won't mind.
As I said before, she insisted she could drink it.
But maybe she thought I made her buy it.
If that's what made her sick, tell her I'm sorry and that I wish her well.
Please tell her that. Thank you.
Bye.
Granny?
No reason. There was a pay phone, that's all.
What's Hwee-sung doing?
He's just being cute.
He just woke from his nap.
No, he's fine. He's a very good boy.
Where are you? Not done yet?
Not yet. I should be done in about an hour.
I need to pop into a beauty salon. Is that OK with you?
Of course. It's your first day off.
My goodness, it's your first day off in 3 years.
No need to come by early.
Geum-ah will be back soon. She mustn't be too late.
Go to all the salons you want. You can even watch a movie too.
Our home is small as it is. We can't baby-sit all day.
Your auntie says you can take all the time you want.
She says thank you.
OK, don't worry, OK?
Geum-soon, I've been meaning to ask you.
Did you get a job?
No.
I know. I never pass any tests.
I'm going to ask them about it.
Yes.
OK.
Bye.
Dr. Jang.
I'm on my way.
Everything's ready.
Bye.
I'm really really sorry. Are you OK?
I'm sorry.
Did you... hit me on purpose?
No way, how could I?
You just appeared from behind the car.
Are you in a lot of pain?
- Are you playing with me? - What?
You deliberately didn't brake on time.
I'd never hit anyone on purpose.
Then why were you staring at me when you hit me?
Stare at you?
It must've been because I was surprised.
Oh no...
It must hurt a lot.
Let's go to a hospital. No, we're in front of one. Then...
Sir! Mr. Policeman!
Yes?
Come here, please. We just had an accident.
Goodness... What happened?
She hit me with that motor scooter.
Any injuries?
I have a contusion on my left femur.
And on my right rib.
This is where the liver is, so it might be serious.
I'll need a scan to be sure.
Oh, I broke my fall with my left hand.
I think I fractured my little finger.
Oh, I'm a surgeon at this hospital.
I see...
It'll take about 6 weeks to heal.
I'll get you a medical certificate.
Let's go by the books.
I won't settle it with her.
OK. You look really upset.
Yes. She hit me on purpose.
Even if it wasn't intentional, I'm sure it was willful negligence.
It wasn't. It really wasn't.
What made you think that?
She sells health drinks. We fought over one of my patients.
It wasn't like that. I wouldn't hit anyone on purpose.
I'm not good at controlling the motor scooter.
He suddenly appeared. I tried to brake, but...
It's true, sir. I'm not lying.
OK. Let's see your license.
- What? - Your motor license.
I need one? For a motor scooter?
Yes, you need a license to drive motor scooters too.
You don't have one?
No, I don't.
You don't have a license? It's an open-and-shut case.
She'll be detained, right?
Wait.
Wait, please. Wait.
I'm sorry. I really am sorry.
I swear it wasn't deliberate, but I hurt you anyway.
I really am sorry.
I'm busy.
I have to be examined, then attend a seminar.
Please drop the charges. I'm begging you. Please.
I can't be detained.
I mean it.
I have a kid...
and I need the money.
And... And...
You have a demented grandma and 5 younger siblings?
Your mom ran away and your dad's an alcoholic?
What? Did I just steal your line?
Wait for my fax at the police station.
Oh no... Oh no...
Sung-ran.
Impressive.
You'd make a good mom.
I thought he knew. He doesn't?
Sit there.
Relax, don't be scared.
Will you really detain me?
It depends on the medical certificate. It'll be fine if he settles.
Why wouldn't he settle?
Call your guardian. Excuse me.
- Mr. Park. - Yes?
Managed to track down that car yet?
(In-laws' cell phone numbers)
Hurray!
You're too old for that.
Isn't it great? It's so refreshing.
I don't like it. I did this for 3 years.
You did.
Hurry up, uncle!
- Isn't it great, father? - I love it.
I love the clean air here.
That sound...
Isn't it refreshing?
It is.
Now you're smiling. It's good to see you smile.
Don't give me that look. It's too sexy.
Stop it.
There you go again.
I feel warm now.
Tie your shoelace.
Your phone's ringing.
Answer it.
Hello?
- Hello? - Who is it?
- I don't know. I can't hear anything. - I don't know this number.
Just hang up.
You fractured your finger, but that's about it.
A surgeon needs his hands.
How long will it take to heal?
About 4 weeks.
Only 4? That won't do.
I can't operate. It has to be 6 weeks.
Why?
It's the minimum to get her detained.
Make it 6 weeks, OK? I have a seminar to attend.
(Medical certificate)
- What? - It says 6 weeks.
Fractured left little finger and right malleolus.
That's the anklebone. It takes a while to heal.
Then what will happen to me?
If he doesn't settle, then you'll be detained.
What? I'll be detained?
- 1 sushi set. - Yes, ma'am.
Welcome.
Mrs. Oh.
Oh.
Hello.
You're here for dinner?
Yes. The girls are out.
You're here alone?
I decided to stop by on my way home.
That's great. Join us.
Oh no, I can't disturb your date.
It's OK, please join us. If you don't mind.
The more the merrier.
I don't want to bother you... Shall I?
We'll sit here.
Have you ordered?
Yes, a sushi set.
I see.
- Shall we...? - Shall we...?
Let's have that.
- It sounds nice. - OK.
We'll order the same.
Jae-hee's quite busy. You must eat alone often.
Yes, I do.
I love the air here, but I don't like being alone at home.
It does get very quiet.
Yes.
You look lovely together.
Thank you.
My wife can join you for dinner when you're home alone.
Sure...
Feel free to give me a call. He's quite busy, I often eat alone too.
Honey.
Drink this.
Excuse me.
Yes?
- The cup's dirty. - I'm sorry.
Sorry. Did I make you wait?
What happened?
Got hit by a motor scooter.
When? You OK?
A few bruises. Got hit sideways.
And that? A fracture?
Yeah. It'll take a month to heal.
And the limp?
Should be OK in about a week.
Is that it? Are you sure?
Yes.
It could've been worse.
Shouldn't you go home and rest?
I'd love to.
I was late for the seminar. The professors told me off.
I didn't get to bed till dawn today.
I feel really done in.
I'll take you home then. Let's go.
I'm starving. Can't we eat first?
You should've called dinner off.
Right, I could have.
I'm too tired to even think.
Am I a genius?
Einstein, sitting by the fire, called his servant over.
He said, ''Push the fireplace back,'' so the servant said...
''Why don't you move further away?''
Was that lame?
I'm wondering if you hit your head.
Order whatever takes the least time. I'll go wash my hands.
You have reached the voicemail...
Excuse me.
Jae-hee.
Wake up.
Jae-hee. Jae-hee.
Jae-hee. Wake up.
Eun-joo.
You can't sleep here. I'll take you home.
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
Did I doze off again? Sorry.
Are you upset?
You look so tired.
Everyone does when they sleep.
Are you angry?
Not at all.
I'm grateful you didn't blow me off.
Get inside and go to bed.
You're tired because of the accident.
You sound like an adult now.
Thank you.
Today's date is void.
We still have 10 left.
No way, we have 9.
No way.
You were asleep most of the time.
That's not a date.
But I showed up. You can't change the rules.
No way. 10 to go.
Eun-joo.
Dr. Jang.
Dad.
Mrs. Oh.
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
