Be Strong, Geum-soon
Whatever happens to me, I can manage
I'll keep on going
< Episode 22 > You're all together?
Did you two have dinner together?
Not really. He was too tired.
You had dinner?
Yes. We met at the restaurant.
Jae-hee, what happened?
This? I fractured it.
- A motor scooter hit him. - Oh no.
You're OK?
- Yes, it's just the hand. - Goodness...
I was going to call you, sir.
I know what you mean. You can't operate for now.
Gave any orders?
Yes, to Dr. Oh.
OK.
I'm sorry.
That's OK. Get some rest.
- Good night, Mrs. Oh. - Goodbye.
Good night.
Take care, Jae-hee.
Thank you. See you tomorrow, sir.
- Bye, Mrs. Oh. - Bye.
See you.
Let's go in. Bye.
Let's go.
Eun-joo.
Sit down.
What was that about? That ''10 dates left'' nonsense.
You heard it?
Tell me.
Jae-hee's actually quite conservative. He doesn't want to see your daughter.
So we decided to go on just 10 dates for now.
- You asked him out? - Yes.
Where's your self-esteem?
Getting the guy I want is more important.
Don't give me that look.
You know how long I've been into him.
So?
He said yes to that?
You heard us.
Our first date was a dud. He slept through it.
Can I go now?
Oh.
Don't tell him you know.
I only just got him to say yes. He might try to wriggle out of it.
- Why are you... - What?
You said he doesn't want to date you.
But it's not because he doesn't like me.
Why do you keep saying that?
- You don't mind. - It's just that I feel...
I don't have a choice. He won't see me otherwise.
But I don't mind.
''Your beginnings will seem humble, so prosperous will your future be.''
- Can I go? - Go.
You cutie pie.
- That? - It's for that?
Good boy...
She is taking her time today.
Hello? Geum-soon?
Where are you? Having a good time?
At home? Why are you at home?
I was just too tired.
Yes.
So... Can Hwee-sung spend the night with you?
OK, thanks.
No, I just want to sleep.
Good night.
Ms. Na.
He's not answering his phone. Maybe he doesn't want to settle.
What happens if he doesn't?
You'll have to go to jail for some time.
How much does it take to settle?
You have no license or insurance.
It's all up to him. It can cost thousands, maybe even more.
Don't you have any family? Why isn't anyone coming?
You don't have anyone to call?
Is she in bed? She's not answering.
She thinks we'll return tomorrow.
Try to get some sleep.
I don't feel tired.
Don't go too fast.
We might get one of those speeding tickets.
You know your mom hates it when that happens.
OK, got it.
Geum-soon.
She must be fast asleep. Go and check.
She's not here.
- She isn't home. - What? At this time of night?
Maybe she's at her grandma's. You told her to go.
Right, I did. That's where she must be.
Then she should have called to tell us.
It's too late to call them.
Doesn't she mind not having a cell phone?
She'd have told us if she did.
- Want me to call them? - It's too late.
Let's call them first thing tomorrow morning.
OK.
You have no license or insurance.
It's all up to him. It can cost thousands, maybe even more.
You'll have to go to jail for some time.
Let me go! I don't want to talk!
Come on, mister.
What, did you just hit me?!
What should I do? Jung-wan, what should I do?
She must be at her grandma's, right?
Where else would she go with her son?
Are you worried?
Why would I be?
I was just getting to like her, and she messes up again.
She should've called us beforehand.
I agree.
You were getting to like her?
She's nothing compared to your brother's daughter-in-law.
You thought so too?
His daughter-in-law is terrible.
How dare she just watch when everyone else is cooking.
Who does she think she is?
Your sister-in-law gave her a chore.
She kept calling her husband for help.
Yeah, I saw that too. She's too frail.
I can't believe she can't even carry 2 bowls.
You look much older than before.
I was shocked when you were with my sister-in-law.
Now you definitely look a few years older than her.
I thought the same thing about you and your older brother.
I bet strangers think you're older.
I've always looked older, but not you.
You were a bit short, but your figure was legendary.
Everyone was jealous of me. When did you get so old?
Jeez.
My sister-in-law says grandkids do that to you.
I don't mind not having many grandkids, so just don't get older.
You're sweet-talking me to make me baby-sit Hwee-sung?
I'm not. So don't get older.
(Police station)
- Hello. - Hi.
Try calling him again, please.
Sure. That's why I came in early.
- Want some tea? - No thanks.
- Let's go. - OK.
Put your other arm in here. Good boy.
It must be Geum-soon.
- Hello? Geum-soon? - Tell her not to come over.
- I'll take him over. - Geum-soon?
What's wrong?
I'm Geum-soon's mother-in-law.
We're doing fine. Geum-soon isn't there?
She's not there?
Why would she be here?
She said she was tired and went home, leaving Hwee-sung with us.
She's not at home?
What did you just say?
What?
Geum-soon's not at home.
What's going on? Why isn't she at home?
She didn't come home.
What?
She even lied to her grandma.
- She's lost her mind. - Be quiet.
What if something happened to her?
She doesn't have any friends. Who'd she stay with?
She's lived here for 3 years. I'm sure she knows someone.
But she wouldn't lie to her grandma just so she could hang out.
Could there have been an accident?
But she called her grandma.
Right, she called.
There was no accident. She's fine.
Could she have a boyfriend?
She didn't come home. Something's fishy.
Why you...
What? It's the most logical...
I'm just kidding. For fun.
Is that all you have to say in this dire situation?
What do you think happened? Why didn't she call us?
It's her first time alone, so she went out to have fun.
Son, are you in pain?
No. I'm fine.
You don't look it though. You're pale.
It's nothing. My muscles are just relaxing.
I'm really OK. I got an X-ray yesterday.
I feel so bad. Who the heck hit you?
Son.
Can't you stay at home today?
Sir.
- Hi. - How do you feel?
Not bad, but my thigh hurts.
- Sent the certificate? - Yes.
Yeah?
Thanks.
6 weeks, like you wanted. With a fractured anklebone.
What did you say?
Did you want... something more serious?
What?
It's your phone.
Goo Jae-hee speaking.
At last you picked up. Why didn't you call me?
You have to settle or request a warrant.
I'm sorry.
Sure. I'll be right there.
Follow me.
You can't fake a medical report.
You told me to...
Would you die if I told you to? Would you dance naked?!
I'm sorry.
You shouldn't have.
Let's say it's my fault for demanding it.
OK, it is.
It's my fault for even mentioning it. I shouldn't have said that at all.
But doctors have a rule, a conscience.
Don't you think?
I'm sorry.
- You're here. - Yes. Hello.
You look fine.
You don't need a cast?
No, it's not that serious. I just have a limp.
I see. This way.
She spent the night here. She doesn't seem to have a guardian.
Why don't you settle?
I don't know how she upset you, but she doesn't seem like a bad person.
I'm sorry.
I didn't know it was that serious.
Sit down.
Let's talk.
I'll settle.
Pardon?
What good news. I'm quite surprised though.
Thank you.
Now it's down to the amount.
I don't want anything.
I'm fine with it.
Is there a problem?
I'm just shocked.
What made you change your mind?
Nothing.
I was angry she made my patient sick, but everything's fine now.
Medical expenses?
It's OK. I'm a doctor, so I got treated for free.
Do you mean that?
You think I don't?
It's not that. I just can't believe it.
Hurry up, please. I have to get back to work.
Sure.
Thank you.
It's OK, sit down.
Thank you. Thank you.
That's enough.
My car's over there.
- Thank you. - I said that's enough.
Bye.
Wait.
If you give me your account num...
I said no thanks.
I did it for my peace of mind.
I donated money to a charity pot.
Feel bad?
Sorry, but that's just how I feel.
I don't feel bad.
You just saved this poor charity pot's life.
I guess you were born to be a doctor.
Still, give me your account number. I want to pay you back.
No thanks.
Just don't come to our hospital again.
Mister.
I don't care if you don't believe me, but the old lady really said it was OK.
If I'd known how sick she was, I wouldn't have sold it to her.
I am desperate for money, but not enough to hurt someone.
I'll pay you back when I get paid. Bye.
See you.
- Put a partition here... - Uh-huh.
And here...
That's just an empty space. The customers could rest there.
Sounds great.
Don't just say that. Tell me if you don't like it.
It's just what I wanted. I like it.
I'm glad you do. Can I go ahead with it?
Yes, please do.
- Shall we have dinner? - I'm meeting some friends.
OK. How about tomorrow?
Tomorrow... I won't know until tomorrow.
OK.
Thanks. Get back to work.
Sung-ran.
You're not feeling well today?
Me?
I'm fine. Why?
Just wondering. Or did I do something wrong?
Of course not. You got me a huge project.
Right, I owe you dinner. I'll call you.
Bye.
It's me. Is Geum-soon back?
Not yet? No calls either?
Was I too friendly?
Geum-ah, you call her in-laws. I just can't wait anymore.
Let's wait till she calls. Her in-laws will be just as worried.
I can't believe she lied to me and stayed out.
Hwee-sung, where is your mom?
Your waiting out here won't make her hurry back.
I'm just worried.
She wouldn't do this to hang out with a friend.
Then where is she?
Let's go back in.
Turn it off.
Now.
Dang.
Why are you still at home?
I told you to think about your future.
You gave me 2 weeks. I still have time.
You'll wait till the deadline? I can't live your life for you.
It's your life. Aren't you worried?
Father.
Don't vent your anger on me.
Why you...
She's home.
How...
How what? Where've you been?
When did you get back?
Where were you?
Without so much as a phone call, huh?!
Answer him. Where were you?
Did you come back yesterday?
''Did you come back yesterday?''
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
