Be Strong, Geum-soon
Whatever happens to me, I can manage
I'll keep on going
What?
< Episode 32 > I was married.
I'm a divorcee.
You didn't know.
No.
I thought you did. That you'd have heard from a friend.
But then I started wondering.
You didn't know.
No.
So...
I see...
So... When... When did you get married?
Quite early. Right after graduation.
Ah...
- Then when did you... - Get divorced?
2 years later, so it's been 8 years.
I see...
I didn't know. Not a clue.
I could tell.
Any kids?
Yes.
A son. He lives with his dad.
He's 9 now.
Any more questions?
No.
OK then.
Take this. Shall we go?
Sure.
Well...
I'm in shock now.
You look like it.
I'm sorry... I need time to think.
Why should you be sorry?
I thought I should tell you before it's too late.
I'm in shock too.
You suddenly show up with these when we've been dating for a month.
There's nothing for you to think about.
That's not what I meant.
I'm bothered that you're taking us too seriously.
That's not what I wanted.
Let's go.
Let me pay.
Did you drive here?
No.
I did.
I should get going.
Sure.
Does this make sense?
Isn't this nonsense?
What... What just happened?
- Thank you. - Bye.
What's the point of regretting it happened?
He won't come back.
So I'll focus on my son, Hwee-sung.
You can try to upset me, be rude to me, or make me cry.
But I won't move out.
You're back?
You spent $1,500 on Shi-wan's credit card?
It was $1,400.
Whatever, you still did wrong. Your father's really upset.
You look pleased.
I'm not like you. I even left the door open for you.
What if we got robbed or something?
Hey!
When will you stop being so rude?!
What?
What's the matter? Was it something I said, you fool?
I'd really love to talk back like that.
But I won't.
I can't let Hwee-sung see that, or he'll take after me when he grows up.
That's why I'm letting you off.
What are you doing?
You'll hurt his back. I'll carry him.
Leave him alone.
Stop that.
You're using him to hassle me now?
I'd hassle you, but not my nephew.
I'll carry him.
Take this.
What's he up to now?
Right, that's it.
What?
I know why you wanted to take Hwee-sung.
You do?
You think your parents will let you off lightly, right?
Gosh, you're smart.
You're so crafty.
What?
It's a joke. You called me an airhead.
You're scared, aren't you?
Go and beg for forgiveness. They were really upset.
Whatever.
- I can't understand or accept... - I don't want your acceptance.
But then I know where you're coming from.
If I had parents to lean on to, I'd just want to enjoy life too.
But it feels good to do something on your own.
Don't you think?
But you wouldn't have spent $1,400 if you thought so.
Just go in and tell them you're sorry.
Want me to check the water first?
Jung-wan. Don't worry about her.
She'll be a great mom.
The blame's on you now. You couldn't stay at her side.
Hwee-sung. I already got beaten up. What does she think she's doing?
Your mom's weird.
- I'm home. - Come on in.
She didn't want to cook, so we ordered Chinese.
I should've come earlier and cooked dinner.
What timing.
I can't baby-sit or go out now. I hate being caged up at home.
I can't carry anything because of the crutches.
- I'm sorry, ma'am. - Hwee-sung, did you have a good time?
Give that to me.
Sir.
I didn't buy this. Tae-wan did.
I know.
You do?
I gave Tae-wan the money.
Oh. Gosh...
What's wrong?
She didn't know he came home earlier.
Yes, I was so scared.
You should've said so earlier.
Shi-wan.
- I'm home. - Hi.
Go talk to him.
You should apologize. It was totally your fault.
Shi-wan.
I'm sorry.
Dad will pay you back. So you don't have to hate me anymore.
What's the fun if everyone's so honest?
You need a brother like me to spice up your life, right?
I said I'm sorry.
I am.
Get me a big glass of ice water.
Why?
- Welcome home. - Hi.
- Have you eaten? - Yes.
How do you feel?
Good. I had a good meal too.
That's good.
You're getting dialyzed tomorrow, but you look great.
Doesn't she? She used to swell up the day before dialysis.
I'm so happy.
Ma'am.
You look tired. Did you operate today?
What's all this?
Our helper prepared it for us.
Eat up. Have some.
Are you really my sister? Are you?
Eun-jin.
So you won't eat fruit forever?
I didn't say that.
She won't get better. We need to come to terms with that.
Still, we can't eat in front of her.
Then don't. But don't force me to do the same.
Eun-joo.
- Stop it. - Yeah.
Eun-jin, don't be so rude to Eun-joo.
She has a point.
I don't want you to do this either. I told you so earlier.
Eun-jin.
Don't do that.
Why blame your sister? Say you're sorry.
Forget it.
Don't be so rude.
- She's so selfish. - Stop it.
Have some.
Can't we tell her we're stepsisters?
You heard what she said. She wouldn't say that if she knew.
Did it upset you?
- Why wouldn't it? - I'm sorry.
I don't want an apology. Can't we just tell her?
Can't we wait until she goes to high school?
She's still young...
She's in the 8th grade. It's not a crime to get remarried.
OK, let's wait.
Thank you.
How are things with Jae-hee? Is everything OK?
- Why ask? - I'm curious.
Are you thinking about marrying him?
Of course. I'd love to marry him right away.
But he's not ready?
I don't know what he's thinking. He gets close then drifts away.
I don't get it.
Do you want me to step in?
How?
Let's invite him and Mrs. Oh to a barbecue this weekend.
I'd love that, but can you manage?
I feel my best the day after dialysis.
Our helper will do the work. Will you ask Mrs. Oh?
What a great idea. I'll do that.
What, she wasn't serious?
Do you need to pee? Is someone in the bathroom?
Man...
Tae-wan. What does it mean when a girl says we weren't serious?
It means she had fun.
What are you doing? I need to pee.
What's wrong? I can't wait.
Tae-wan, wait.
Don't flush.
Why not?
What? What's in there?
There are 2 rings.
Shi-wan, don't, I just peed in there!
Shi-wan! Oh my God!
Shi-wan.
Buy some new ones. You can't wear those now.
Get out. Get out.
You witch. You witch.
There you go. Granny, Hwee-sung's ready.
Gosh, Hwee-sung, you're so handsome.
The new clothes just make you look even more handsome.
I can't even bear to look at you.
Hwee-sung, aren't you a cutie pie?
Geum-ah, are you sick? What's gotten into you these days?
What's wrong?
''What's wrong''?
You haven't been studying. You stayed at home yesterday too.
Are you his mom?
Why are you baby-sitting a kid his mom's too busy to look after?
What's wrong with you?
Pack up and go to the library.
I will. I was playing with him while you were in the bathroom.
Did you have to say that? ''Are you his mom''?
She's studying for a test.
You should make her study, not play with the kid.
I can't bear to think what to do if she doesn't make it again this year.
You know I'll be at home now. Tell Geum-soon to come for him earlier.
Don't worry. I'll take him out so you can rest.
Hello. Good morning. Hi.
Hello, miss. You're early.
I'll go get changed.
- Miss Na. - Hello, Ms. Yoon.
The rollers are mixed up.
Pardon? What...?
I told you to put them in order.
I wasn't told.
You weren't?
I told you what to do last evening.
I don't remember.
I told you in the changing room.
Ma-ri, did you hear me or not?
I heard you.
I'm sorry.
I don't remember, but maybe I wasn't paying attention.
I'm sorry.
Get it done.
Sure.
Hello. Hi, Jae-hee.
Miss.
We need to talk.
No way. Get out of my way.
I won't. Why are you being so mean?
Look at you. You won't move?
I didn't say I'd wash that lady's hair.
You wanted to work.
Yes, but not something I've never done before.
Move.
And you never told me about the rollers.
Why do you keep getting me in trouble?
Move.
I won't. Tell me. You must have a reason.
What is it? Why are you being so mean?
I'm warning you. Move.
If you can't say, then it means you're a bad person.
I won't respect you.
- So tell me! - I said move!
I warned you.
Don't you dare raise your voice to me again.
Happy with the length?
Sweep the floor.
OK.
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
Then why did you yelp? Are you hurt?
No, I'm not.
You look messy. Tuck your shirt in.
OK.
Hye-mi.
Honey.
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
