Be Strong, Geum-soon
Whatever happens to me, I can manage
I'll keep on going
Is she what? Go on, Geum-soon.
Is she dating your friend?
Pardon?
What?
You ruined your friendship?
You ruined what?
< Episode 40 > That's it? No way, give up.
No decent guy should steal a friend's girl.
And if she's done it once, she can do it again.
Shut up.
Is that it?
No.
- It's not it? - Gosh, no, it's not.
Father, mom, Geum-soon. Tae-wan, listen especially carefully.
I won't say this again.
From this moment on, don't ever mention her again.
Forget what happened today.
Just forget it.
- Shi-wan. - Mom, please do that.
Just forget everything.
Shi-wan.
What does that mean?
Is she not your mother?
Mom.
Tell me what she means.
Mom.
Now she knows. Let's just tell her.
OK.
We should.
Sit down, Eun-jin. I'll explain.
Eun-jin.
We were going to tell you when you were a bit older.
But I'm sure you'll be able to understand.
I hope you do.
I...
married your father when Eun-joo was 10.
It was your father's 2nd marriage.
We got married when Eun-joo was 10, and then you were born.
So I... am not Eun-joo's mother.
Eun-joo's mother... passed away.
When?
When I was 9.
Dad got remarried early.
He did.
Eun-joo went through a lot.
You can ask questions if you have any.
I don't have any.
You don't? I would if I were you.
I'd like to leave. Can I?
Yes.
Do you have anything to ask Eun-joo?
No.
Eun-jin.
I'd like to go to my room too.
Sure. Let's talk more later.
So you married dad after Eun-joo's mom died?
You had nothing to do with him before then, right?
Yes.
I'll be in my room.
OK, go.
(Goo Jae-hee)
You have reached the voicemail of...
Why is it so quiet? The girls aren't in?
Where are you going?
What's wrong?
Dinner's ready. I'll tell you while you eat.
What?
You think it's right?
What if your son finds out you called yourself a bachelorette?
- How do you think he'd feel if...? - You scoundrel.
I never knew you could be so cruel.
Where are you going?
Tae-wan, come and change the bathroom light bulb. It's blinking.
Where's Shi-wan?
He went out.
Out? Where to, so late at night?
I don't know. He looked really serious.
I couldn't ask him, not after what he said.
- Do we have a spare bulb? - Yes, we do.
Shi-wan went out.
Where to?
I don't know. Tae-wan said he looked serious.
Now I feel a bit worried.
Why did you meet her in the first place?
It's not because of me.
I have a sixth sense and it tells me she likes Shi-wan too.
Something's not right, but I won't know until he tells me.
Just forget it, like Shi-wan said.
That's all we can do for now.
I'm just worried, that's all.
He never complains about anything, so to see him so stressed...
Don't drink from the bottle.
Whatever.
I'm studying for my shampoo test.
I didn't ask.
I have to pass to wash clients' hair.
If I do, I get a pay raise.
I didn't ask.
Tae-wan.
Do me a favor.
Me do something for you? You used to yell at me.
I was really upset that day.
I was right though.
But sorry anyway.
''Anyway''?
Let's hear the favor first.
Come with me to the salon and let me wash your hair.
What?
I need to practice on real people. I can't do anything on my own head.
You'll feel very refreshed. Just this once.
You want me to be your model?
Yes.
For how much?
Huh?
I'm a professional model. I can't do it for free.
But I'm family, aren't I?
Then I'll be your hair stylist. For free, since we're family.
Then lend me some money.
How much?
$500.
$500?
That's my whole pay.
No way.
It's true. That's my salary.
You work all day all month for that?
Yes.
For now. I'm still a trainee, you see.
But that's extortion. Don't you mind?
I don't. I'd work for even less.
Please, Tae-wan. Help me out here.
For $300.
Come on, you yourself said it was extortion.
I said I'd pay you back, didn't I?
I get paid in a month and I need money.
Forget it then.
I'll lend you $150 if you swear you'll pay me back.
That's all I can spare.
$150?
OK, let's go.
You have to pay me back.
Let's go.
Sitting in the back?
Yes.
You really are weird.
It's quite big.
- 3 floors? - Yes. The makeup studio's on the 3rd.
It's quite famous too. I heard celebrities come here.
Yeah? I should come here often.
As if you made your debut...
- I'll go get a gown for you. - Don't bother.
- Forget the gown. - You sure? This way then.
Hang on.
Lie back.
- Want me to cover your face? - It's OK.
Just wash my hair.
Your neck's too...
It hurts!
Sorry. I'll start then.
Does it feel good?
Hello?
Yes, I just arrived.
OK, mom. I won't be long. Bye.
What style do you want?
As if you can do it?
Just tell me.
- Take this part... - And?
Make it stay together, like this.
Hello.
Why are you here?
To get something.
Why are YOU here?
I'm practicing for my test tomorrow.
Who's he?
Who are YOU?
I'm Noh Tae-wan.
If you want to say hello, you should introduce yourself.
His mother owns the salon.
I'm Goo Jae-hee.
Hello.
Who's he?
Um...
Why are you so rude?
Let's go.
- Your hair's still wet. - I'll dry it at home. Let's go.
OK.
Excuse us.
Bye.
What's his problem? Why is he so rude to you?
You're rude to me too.
I'm not joking here.
Act with dignity. Why let him talk like that to you?
Don't say that.
He won't stop being rude, just like you.
I told you to treat me with respect, but you don't.
Watch what YOU say first.
Why didn't you tell him who I was?
Are you in love with him?
What?
Then why didn't you say who I was?
That's because he doesn't know I was married.
That's my point. What's there to hide?
I'm scared they'll fire me. I'm too old for the job already.
My supervisor knows, but she told me not to tell anyone.
Are you sure? Is that all?
What else could there be?
What are you thinking?
Get in.
Sit up front. I'm not done talking.
Get in.
I can't sit there. It reminds me of Jung-wan.
He died in that seat.
I'll sit in the back. Is that OK?
I know what you're thinking.
But don't worry.
All I can think of is what I can do for Hwee-sung.
He doesn't have a father, so I have to make it up to him.
That's all I want to do.
I can't fall for someone.
I never thought of it.
I can't even bear to sit up front...
Tae-wan.
Do you still hate me?
Of course. It's natural.
Yes, it is.
That's why I never thought of it.
So there's nothing to worry about.
You still have something left to say?
What is it now?
I'm sorry.
For what?
I was upset.
I was out of line.
- I shouldn't have said it. - Thanks so much.
For considering my son's well-being too.
But you don't have to. He lives abroad.
How strange.
I felt so bad about what I said, and how it would've made you feel.
But now I feel so cold and unforgiving.
Where on earth do you get the guts to reproach me...
abuse my emotions, and disregard my sincerity?
I thought you were in love with me.
When I yelled at you, demanding an explanation...
a part of me thought it was because you didn't want to lose me.
But what you said over the past few days was a rude awakening.
Who have I been dating?
Are you sure you're the same person?
Are you the Sung-ran who made my heart skip a beat?
The person who ate and drank with me?
The happy person who shouted for joy on the theme park rides?
I feel hurt because I love you, but you feel hurt because I annoy you.
A widow?
You called Geum-soon a widow?
I should pay her back.
That would make me feel much better.
That's it.
Where's the chili powder?
Did she blow it away?
Did she breathe it in already?
And she's still asleep?
My goodness...
Are you OK?
Did I sneeze on you? Are you OK?
Oh no...
It's been a while since we had breakfast together.
Jae-hee.
I think I'll go crazy with loneliness.
What will you do if that really happens?
I'd be scared.
Get married.
Don't you like Eun-joo? Isn't that why you're seeing her?
I don't want to get married.
Why not? I want you to. I'm lonely.
I can't get married for your sake.
But you like Eun-joo. Why else would you date her?
Mom, I don't have much time. Eat up.
Why did you do that? Why did you tell her?
It was a mistake. I didn't mean to.
Your mother isn't well. Do you have to make it harder?
It just slipped out. Why is it a big deal anyway?
Eun-jin's not a kid. She just found out we're half-sisters.
My mom died, you remarried and she was born when I was just 10.
If what I went through was tuberculosis, Eun-jin's just suffering from a cold.
So?
You want her to suffer just because of what you went through?
How can you say that?
Hang on.
Hello?
Hello, sir. It's Na Geum-soon.
I'll take my grandma over today.
Sure, I'm free.
OK then, see you there. Bye.
Granny, why aren't you ready yet?
I'm not going.
Why not?
She's been like that since you called. I think she's scared.
I don't think this is a good idea after all.
The more I know, the more worried I'll get.
I'd rather not find out.
Get the checkup.
If you're sick, we can get help. If you're not, we can relax.
I'm 7 0 years old. I'm sure they'll find something wrong with me.
Leave me alone. I don't want to find out.
I can't do that. Let's go.
I don't want to. If I'm sick, I'll just die.
Get up.
No way. You just go to work.
You're more than old enough.
Even Hwee-sung thinks you're childish, right?
See? He said yes.
Get up.
Come on, granny, let's go.
Hurry.
You can't back out now. It won't take long.
Jeez...
You'll be fine.
Hello.
