Be Strong, Geum-soon
I am not lonely, because I have a dream
And I won't give up
Soon-ja.
< Episode 72 > Do you remember me?
You do, right?
You go ahead.
You heard me. Go.
OK.
It's been quite a while.
Still, you haven't changed much.
Are you crazy? How dare you come here.
You're the one who left your baby behind over 20 years ago.
Mrs. Kim's at home. Get lost before all hell breaks loose.
I will, I'll go away.
I know I shouldn't be here.
Let me just ask you one thing.
How is Geum-soon? Is she doing OK?
Your neighbor said she doesn't live here.
Where is she?
No. You don't have to tell me.
Just tell me how she's doing.
What does she do? Is she a college student? Is she?
Please tell me... how she's doing.
Is she doing OK?
- Soon-ja. - Let go.
I don't know why you care, but go ask your husband.
He'll answer all your questions.
What do you mean...?
Get lost.
If Mrs. Kim sees us, we're both dead meat.
Soon-ja!
My husband?
He knows?
Hello. Would you like me to wash your car? It's free.
I'd like that. Thanks.
Does it have to rain now?
Wake up. Are you OK? Wake up!
Hello? Someone collapsed on the street.
You look great. Feeling OK?
Just one surgery to go.
It'll be easier than the first one.
Get some rest. See you tomorrow.
Sure.
Bye.
Sir, your wife's in the ER.
What?
- I can't find her pulse. - What?
Inject some dopamine, run a CT scan and blood test.
OK.
And see if there's a free dialyzer.
I will.
What happened?
Someone found her lying on the street and called 911.
She doesn't look good.
Her BP is so low, they can't even find her pulse.
She needs to get dialyzed, but she doesn't look well enough.
She's that sick?
She's unconscious, with a weak pulse.
What's wrong with her? Does she want to live or not?
I'm sorry. Where was she?
I don't know. Ask at reception.
There's an opening.
Good, let's take her there.
This way, please.
- I'll wash your hair. - Did she quit?
Miss Na Geum-soon.
Yes, she quit.
What a pity. I felt refreshed when she washed my hair.
Does she work somewhere else?
I don't know. This way, please.
OK.
- Mrs. Oh. - Yes?
I'm done, we can go.
OK, let's.
The rain has stopped.
So it has.
Let's go.
- Hello. - Welcome.
- Geum-soon left at last. - Yes.
Hi.
Has Geum-soon left?
No. She washed all the cars...
then went to help the cook when it started to rain.
What?
Mrs. Oh, I can't take this any longer.
I can't believe how stubborn she is.
She does go a bit too far.
The cabbage looks and tastes just right.
You're good. You know how to make kimchi?
You haven't heard? I'm married, with a child.
Really? I wouldn't have known.
I thought you were single.
Mrs. Oh.
Follow me outside.
Come on, right now.
What are you doing here?
Don't you have any common sense?
You should've gotten the message.
How dare you just ignore what I said.
Come outside. Want me to drag you out?!
I'll leave.
I don't understand.
Of all the beauty salons in Seoul, why here?
If you have time for this, try looking for a new job.
Why give us both a hard time?
Thank you for everything.
And I apologize too.
I don't have an ulterior motive.
I'd love to work here, but that's not what this is about.
I know I deserved to get fired.
And you're right, you can't take everything into account.
I was just so astonished at the sudden decision.
I just wanted to thank Mrs. Oh for the advance payment.
This was my firstjob. I wanted to do really well.
But I guess I was too self-centered.
I'm sorry.
Thank you for everything. Goodbye.
You mustn't take pictures.
Sorry. Can I just take one?
I said no.
I love your hairstyle. Can I take your picture?
I love your hairstyle.
1, 2, 3.
Thank you.

(Resume: 2 months' work experience)
She didn't know her husband found Geum-soon?
Why else would she be here?
How did she find us?
Why come looking after finding out she's sick?
She should've just stayed away from us forever.
That's the decent thing to do.
She did look terrible though.
Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned her husband.
She went through a lot too.
Hey.
Hi. Where did you go?
I took Hwee-sung to the playground and we met Tae-wan.
Hwee-sung wanted to go home with him, so I let him.
Well done.
I told you he'd be a handful. I guess I was right.
It's not about me.
I felt sorry for Geum-soon. She should rest instead of coming here.
Hwee-sung's grown so much, he's very heavy now.
You wouldn't know. I feel so sorry for Geum-soon.
I'm afraid she might hurt her back one of these days.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I admire you for managing to bring Geum-soon up on your own.
What's gotten into you now?
You're so good to Geum-soon.
I just don't understand why you were so harsh with her mother.
What do you mean?
I was too scared to say this back then.
But Young-ok wouldn't have left if you'd been a bit nicer...
Of course I'm wrong.
Who would leave her own baby just to get away from her mother-in-law?
Not even a monster would do that.
Even animals look after their offspring.
How could she leave a fatherless baby?
That's unforgivable. No decent person would do that.
Ma'am.
I'm sorry.
It's the weather. I must've lost my mind.
See you at 8. Don't be late.
Sorry, do you have the time?
It's 8:19.
Thanks.
I don't know his number.
Mister.
Hello.
Why are you here? We're supposed to meet at 8.
You don't remember?
I don't.
You're the one who made the arrangement.
I don't remember.
And this is my workplace. Who says you can come in?
Only staff members are allowed in here.
You can leave.
Go away. Can't you see we're busy?!
OK.
I'm sorry. Goodbye.
Go ahead.
Miss Lee in room 301 is ready for surgery.
Dr. Kim's going abroad for a seminar.
Sorry. Let's have a break.
Sure.
What the...? Man, the roof's leaking?
Father, mom, come up here! Jeez...
- Gosh, what's all this? - What happened?
- The roof's leaking. - You're right, it is.
- Over here. - Yeah.
- This part, right here. - Yeah, here, right?
- It's still wet. - Yeah.
What a mess.
I told you the mold meant it was leaking.
We should've done something.
There's nothing to worry about.
The rainy season's weeks away. Let's hire someone tomorrow.
We should clean this place up first.
Go get some cloths and a bucket.
I'll get them.
Don't you sleep on the bed? Why is the duvet on the floor?
I left in a rush and it fell on the floor.
The water didn't drip down so at least everything else is OK.
Goodness...
I'm home.
Ma'am.
Where is everyone?
They went out without locking up?
What's that noise?
Sung-ran's home?
She should tell us she's home.
She doesn't know we're up here.
Mom, wasn't she a bit weird this morning?
And the bathroom incident yesterday too.
She wasn't weird. It was your fault.
She's straightforward and meticulous, unlike Geum-soon.
Be careful, especially when you're around her.
I didn't do anything wrong. It's her problem.
I've been watching.
Geum-soon does all the cooking. She just sits around.
She shouldn't do that, even if she is paying for everything.
And it's rude to leave the table when we're still eating.
Geum-soon said it as a joke, but Sung-ran took it seriously.
What did Geum-soon say?
That she doesn't earn enough, so she has to make up for it.
I think Sung-ran took it literally.
This is your fault, mom.
You should step in and set some rules.
Restore some peace to all this mayhem.
All you do is talk about others.
You know I'm right.
It's only been a few days, but I don't like the look of things.
Stop talking and get back to work.
Why is the music so loud?
You think Shi-wan came home and thinking no one's home...?
What?
- That's all you think about? - Idiot...
- You're the weird one here. - Dang...
Wipe the floor.
Sung-ran.
Goodness. You're all home?
I thought no one was home. You were all upstairs?
Change your clothes.
Pardon?
OK.
Turn the music down. It's too late for such loud music.
I thought you were out. I'll turn it off.
Don't miss a single spot.
I'll take some dry cloths up later.
OK.
Did you check the rice cooker?
No.
Why not?
If you come home early, you should check the rice cooker.
Shouldn't you cook some rice if it's empty?
I didn't check because there's no one at home to eat.
You think everyone who comes late eats dinner before they come?
If you're late, you should cook your own dinner.
That's how we did it.
But that's not how we do things.
I believe we must always be able to serve someone a meal.
So wash and cook some rice.
Look at the time, it's past dinnertime.
Check the rice cooker as soon as you get home from work.
Ma'am.
You're making me feel like I'm back at work, not at home.
What?
I guess I can't even rest at home now.
Hey, you're home.
Good evening.
I can't love you
I can't hate you
I try to stay away
But I keep falling for you
We can't break up
I can't let you go
Tell me
