Be Strong, Geum-soon
I am not lonely, because I have a dream
And I won't give up
Sung-ran.
< Episode 75 >
Ma'am, I'll do it.
- Leave it to me. - OK.
Wipe every shelf and all the containers.
Make sure it's clean, however long it takes.
Sure.
Sung-ran.
It's for you. I think it's urgent.
Really?
Hello?
Mr. Park.
You turned the tap on already?
OK, I'll be right there.
Bye.
Something's wrong? Is it serious?
One of my showrooms got flooded.
They don't know why yet...
- What should I do? - You should check the situation.
Wait, I'll drive you over.
Get my wallet and jacket.
I'm sorry.
I have to go. I can't help clean the fridge.
You can't help it. I hope the damage isn't serious.
Let's go.
Bye, mom.
- Bye. - Bye, Geum-soon.
- Take care. - Bye.
Look at all this.
No wonder our fridge was so full.
You must be tired. Leave it to me and get some rest.
You can't do it on your own. Just do the dishes.
Get some rest. I can manage on my own.
You can? I am a bit tired today.
- Go on. - OK, good night.
Let's hurry. I need to practice.
It's flooded?
- That must be a lot of work. - She rushed out with Shi-wan.
What timing.
She managed to rush outjust when I wanted her to clean the fridge.
Making her work won't do any good.
She has to pay for not showing me any respect.
How dare she talk back to me with a smile.
She did, but there was no need to yell at her.
You even sent the dishwasher back.
Why don't you just use it?
My friends say it's not worth the trouble.
All the loading and unloading...
And I was upset too.
Jeez...
Honey.
Please wake up.
You're torturing me.
Here. Eat up.
- I'm not hungry. - Still, you have to eat.
Don't let your mom down, OK?
Do you think she'll wake up?
She will, so eat up.
I'm sorry.
For what?
For being nasty to you.
Thanks for admitting that. Now eat.
Do you think I still love you?
You're right.
I did love you.
I did, but not anymore.
I'm not into women with kids.
Where are you off to? I thought you were asleep.
- I'm off to the gym. - The gym?
Let's go to that sauna again. I haven't been getting any sleep.
See you.
He's such a jerk. He doesn't care about me one bit.
Sons are just no use.
He's been acting strange lately.
He looks down and he doesn't smile.
Come to work by 6 AM. I'll give you some tips.
See you then.
When did she send this?
1 0:57? That's more than 2 hours ago.
She'll be in bed by now.
Then I'll have to leave home by 5 AM.
What about Hwee-sung?
Tae-wan.
Hwee-sung.
I'm sorry, but I need you to bear with me.
I'm really sorry, Hwee-sung.
We have to leave early today.
I'll take you to granny's. It won't take long.
Get on my back. You can sleep on the way.
OK, good boy. Let's go.
Gosh.
What a terrible nightmare.
I must forget about it. I must.
My heart's racing...
I hope he's doing OK.
All those strange calls...
Let's go.
Granny.
Come inside.
Why are you here so early? You're sweating.
I'm taking the perm test today.
Mrs. Oh, the owner, let me.
And if I pass, I get my job back.
You do? That's great news.
My supervisor said she'd give me some tips before the test.
Did I wake you?
No, you didn't.
I woke because of a nightmare.
What nightmare?
It's nothing, don't worry.
I'm so happy for you. Practice hard and pass the test, OK?
Yes, I will.
You will, if you just don't panic.
I know.
See you, Hwee-sung. Wish mommy luck.
Give me a kiss.
You're upset I woke you up?
Still, give me a kiss. It's my good luck charm.
- Come on. - Go on. Good boy.
- Cutie pie. - Thank you.
I'm sure I'll pass today.
Bye, granny.
You go ahead.
Good luck, Geum-soon. Good luck.
- Thanks. I can do it. - Yes, you can.
Bye.
Wish your mommy luck.
Ms. Yoon.
- Hello. - Let's go inside.
Mom. You're cooking breakfast?
Yes.
Is Sung-ran's showroom OK?
Yes, it wasn't that serious.
Where's Geum-soon?
She's not in. My daughters-in-law are all so busy.
I see...
Sung-ran. Sung-ran.
Sung-ran, wake up.
- What? - Sung-ran.
Wake up. My mom's cooking breakfast.
Sung-ran. Get up.
So what, you want me to cook?
You can't sleep when she's cooking.
- Get changed. - Where's Geum-soon?
I don't know, she's not in.
I'm sleepy. We came home late.
I know that, but...
I want to sleep.
I'll be on my feet all day today.
- Geum-soon cooks breakfast. - But today's...
Sung-ran.
Dang.
Mom. You want me to help you?
Sung-ran's too tired to get up.
You get ready for work.
I'll help you.
I have time... OK.
Why are you cooking alone?
My daughters-in-law are too busy.
Geum-soon and Sung-ran already left?
Don't ask.
Geum-soon doesn't work anymore. Where could she have gone?
She doesn't work anymore?
No. She got fired.
And she went out without telling me?
You'll get to choose from a set of wigs with different lengths.
Think which length you're best with.
OK.
You must remember one thing.
You're working on a wig, but think of it as your client.
Make sure you treat it as one.
Every movement you make must be planned.
Don't pull too hard, and make sure everything's even, OK?
OK.
Here's your client. Begin.
Geum-soon.
Do you get straight to work before even saying hello?
I'll start over.
Hello, miss. I'm Na Geum-soon.
Isn't the weather nice? I'll start now.
Tell me if it hurts at all.
I tried to stay up last night. Didn't you go to the gym?
I did.
You stayed for hours?
What's wrong with you these days?
Nothing.
What a quick answer. You're lying.
Is it about that girl?
Stop asking questions.
I'm right. That's why you're so annoyed.
Tell me what's up.
I'm the only one you can talk to.
What's wrong? Why isn't it working out?
She's seeing someone.
What, she was a two-timer? How dare she.
She just didn't return my affection. So don't get upset and just eat.
You moron. You deserve much better!
I know. I was shocked too.
My goodness...
Rolled omelet? I haven't had this in a long time.
It tastes great. Have some.
Your rolled omelet is the best ever.
It's time to choose your wig.
Min Gyung-joo, you first.
OK.
Geum-soon. Describe your client and how you'll perm her hair.
She's in her 40s.
She needs tight curls on the top...
and looser curls to flow down the side and back.
I'll give her bangs a slight wave to make her look younger.
OK.
Let's see if you manage to do as you said.
Get ready.
Begin.
Hello, miss. I'm Na Geum-soon.
Isn't the weather nice?
I'll start now.
Tell me if it hurts at all.
Have you heard? Dr. Jang's wife is in the ICU.
Since when?
You didn't know?
That's all I know. I just found out.
Is she sick?
What's wrong with her?
I don't know.
I see.
I just thought you knew Dr. Jang well.
No.
It won't happen.
Geum-soon, it's me. Why is your phone off?
Call me at work as soon as you get this message.
OK? Don't forget.
It won't happen.
He wouldn't call her, not after his wife collapsed with shock.
He won't.
Why did I tell her to ask her husband? I should've just said Geum-soon's fine.
Oh no...
What if Young-ok doesn't recover?
No, I shouldn't even think about that.
Do you feel uncomfortable?
OK.
Stop.
Time's up. Step aside, please.
I'm done, miss.
You all did well.
I was very impressed by the way Miss Na treated the wig like a person.
I'm sure the other trainees learned something today.
We looked at 3 things.
How well you rolled the hair, whether it's evenly spaced...
and your creativity.
Ms. Jang has the results.
I added the scores. You need above 80 to pass.
Min Gyung-joo, 85 points.
Oh Seung-eun, 75 points.
Kim In-ho, 83 points.
Na Geum-soon.
89 points.
3 of you passed and Miss Na gets herjob back.
Well done. A round of applause.
Thank you, Mrs. Oh. Thank you, Ms. Jang.
You too, Ms. Yoon.
- Congratulations. - Thanks. See you.
- It's on you next time. - Congratulations.
- I'm buying today. - Let's go somewhere nice.
I should tell granny.
Granny.
I passed. I passed the test.
Yes. I got my job back.
I'm so proud of you.
My goodness, you did?
Of course.
You're my little girl. I knew you'd pass.
You can do anything.
You just need some time.
Of course I am.
Nothing in the world would make me happier.
Your voice is enough to make me jump forjoy.
What? You want to?
OK, go ahead. Take your time. Bye.
She passed?
Yes. She came in first with 89 points.
That's great. She must be good.
Of course she is. She takes after me.
She's a late bloomer, but she'll make it.
She'll make a great stylist.
I'm so proud of her.
Wait, she said something about Dr. Jang.
But Soon-ja said... Is it OK to let her see him?
Geum-ah, call her back.
OK.
She won't pick up. I guess she can't hear it ring.
Oh no. Should I let her see him or not?
- See who? - Don't ask.
Gosh.
It must be her. I'll answer it.
Hello?
Yes, it is.
Yes, that's right.
What?
- Hello. - Hello.
- Am I late? - No, I was early.
- Sit down. - Thanks.
- We'll order later. - Sure.
Drink up.
Thanks.
You had something to say?
Yes.
I'm listening.
Geum-soon.
Answer it.
OK.
Hello?
Granny.
What? Uncle?
