Be Strong, Geum-soon
I am not lonely, because I have a dream
And I won't give up
Who's he?
He's...
Her cousin.
Hello. We meet again.
Hello.
You know him?
We met at the salon.
They're cousins, but they're so close.
He really cares for her.
Let's go.
See you.
< Episode 79> See you, Geum-soon.
Bye, Ms. Jang.
What's his problem? He's so annoying.
Let's go. They'll close soon.
If you're going back to work, I'll take a taxi home.
Let's have a drink.
Thank you. Hwee-sung will love it.
What about Mrs. Sohn's present?
Leave that to me.
That doctor looked upset. Is something wrong?
No, not at all.
You know, my uncle got arrested.
The uncle who was on the run?
Yes.
That's too bad. He's at the police station?
Yes. So I'd like to check on my grandma.
Sure. I'm not going home now anyway.
See you later at home.
OK. Thank you.
They're cousins, but they're so close.
Geum-soon.
Hello, sir.
Nice to see you. I was in the neighborhood.
I'll give you a lift.
- No thanks. - It's OK, get in.
I can walk.
Don't keep me waiting.
Then I'll get in the back.
I'm sorry I left like that last time.
It's OK. It sounded urgent.
You look tired.
I do? I'm fine.
Is it the anemia?
You ran a blood test and said I was fine.
I lied so you wouldn't worry. You have anemia.
Don't you feel dizzy when you take a bath?
I do.
Especially when I stay in the bathtub for a long time.
So that's why...
I didn't tell you in case you'd worry.
You look even worse than you did before.
Don't work too hard, or get upset or stressed.
Are you stressed?
No.
You should take some medication.
Oh, hang on.
I think I have some.
I don't need any.
Here.
No thanks.
I don't need it.
But you do. You look pale. Take it.
I owe you too much. Thank you.
Take it.
What did you want to tell me?
It's nothing.
I wanted to interview you for a paper, but I don't have to now.
I see.
I live nearby. I'll walk from here.
No, I'll drive you there.
You don't know, but you look terrible.
You're still young, but you look pale and very tired.
I do?
Don't work too hard. Take a break.
Which way from here?
(Jang Gi-joong)
The jerk.
He should ask his daughters.
The younger one's old enough. Gosh, why not ask her?
Why don't you take the offer and save your husband?
No, I shouldn't think about it.
I'll forget about it.
You can live just fine with one kidney.
What's wrong with me?
Auntie.
- Hi. - Where's everyone else?
Your grandma's in bed and Geum-ah's out.
Why are you here?
I was worried about you.
I'm hanging in there.
Have you eaten?
Not yet.
I'll cook dinner.
Hello there.
You were in bed?
No.
You visited your uncle this morning?
Yes.
I missed him.
I'll cook you both dinner.
Get me some water.
OK.
You have some rice.
Yes, we do.
And some soup, just heat it up.
I'll make something.
It'll help when you feel down and don't feel like eating.
You have a squid. I'll stir-fry it.
Something spicy should improve your appetite.
You went to see Sang-do?
Yes, but I didn't see him. They'd taken him somewhere else.
- He's in jail already? - Not yet.
He goes to jail after the trial.
I guess it's just the same.
It's a kind of jail.
He's locked up all day, and is allowed one visitor a day.
It's out of our hand.
It is.
I told him to go to jail. He did as I said.
You said that?
Yes.
I said the earlier he goes, the less pain it'll cause us.
That he has to pay the price.
Why did you say that? You know he feels bad already.
He'll know you don't mean it, but hearing you say that...
will hurt him so much, he'd ratherjust die in there.
What's got into you?
I'm that upset.
He knows he did wrong. But it wasn't intentional.
You know he took the blame for everyone.
He let his colleagues get away and took the blame for them.
And you said that to his face?
Dinner's ready.
Sit down.
OK.
You have something to say?
No, go and eat.
Just tell me.
I said go and eat.
Then come and join us.
I told you to go and eat! Stop bothering me!
Go.
What was that about? Why did she shout at you?
She didn't shout at me. She won'tjoin us. Let's eat.
OK. And bring Hwee-sung over.
I'll send him to preschool. He's a handful now.
Do as I say. You can't afford that yet.
Your aunt hasn't paid you back.
My father-in-law will baby-sit this week.
Just bring him over. We have to move on.
Not now. You're all too worked up.
Stubborn thing.
Eat up.
OK. You eat your fill too.
This tastes good, have some.
He's so energetic. He drained me out.
- You're done? - Yes.
He just wouldn't stay still. I had a hard time washing his hair.
He's a little boy. Of course he plays around.
What are you grinning about anyway?
Me? I'm not grinning.
Dry his hair and get him changed before he catches a cold.
I'm tired. You do it.
I'm busy sewing. You're his babysitter.
OK, I'll do it. Set the table. I'm starving.
Let's go...
Serves you right. Baby-sitting is hard work.
- We're home. - We're home.
Where's father?
In his room.
We're home.
What should I do? Cook the rice?
It's too late for that. Dinner's ready.
It is?
Then I'll set the table.
Go and rest. Cooking makes you unhappy.
I can set the table.
That was a joke.
You're playing games with me?
No.
I'm sorry. I was out of line yesterday.
I don't like pretending to agree when I actually don't.
That feels even worse.
That's why it looked like I talked back.
That's exactly what you did.
I'm sorry.
I'm not good at it, and I won't be around to help much.
But I'll do my very best.
Don't be angry. I was wrong.
OK? I'll try.
As I said, it's your attitude I don't like.
I didn't tell you to quit work and stay at home.
I know.
Shall I serve the soup?
Chop some leeks and add it first.
I'll get the rice while you do that.
OK.
I'm home.
Hello, ma'am. Hi, Sung-ran.
Hi.
- Where's Hwee-sung? - In my room.
What are you looking for?
Pardon?
The scissors? Don't worry, I'll do that.
She can't use knives.
She can't use knives?
I have a phobia, so I can't use them.
A phobia? What's that?
It means you're scared of something.
I cut myself so often, I steered clear of knives.
Now I can't even touch one.
So she only ate fruits she could peel by hand.
You're so strange.
I know I'm strange.
I guess you aren't born to do housework.
- Serve the rice. - Sure.
You know how much he owes me?
He owes me $50,000.
Now I have no savings at all.
You want me to forgive someone who blew all my savings?
My uncle got arrested.
Now you notice me. What's on your mind?
Is something bothering you?
You want to have dinner?
At that new restaurant.
Have you eaten?
Hey, beside your mouth.
No.
Why do we have to do this by hand?
- It's hard work? - You don't mind?
I do sometimes.
But you always do the work with a smile on your face.
You should be tired after a long day at work.
I smile?
Housework is something I must do. I'd rather do it with a smile.
It's not a must. We aren't slaves.
You're right, I agree.
I sometimes get upset at Tae-wan when he sits around doing nothing.
But I can't leave it all to Mrs. Sohn.
Of course not, but she doesn't have a job like you.
Still, she's older and tires easily.
I don't earn much. I'm still a trainee.
You're trying too hard to be good.
Don't make life harder for yourself.
You wouldn't have to do this if you were her daughter.
But she lets me live here. Even though I get on her nerves.
We're so different, so I'm at a loss for words.
But you're a century behind too.
Shi-wan's good to you, isn't he?
He's the nicest man I know.
How many men do you know?
He's a nice man, but I'm not sure yet if he's a good husband.
Why are you so quiet?
I don't think I should talk when you don't.
You have grown up.
I can't ask, right?
Yes.
OK.
Thank you.
She's just like your own daughter.
She owes you that much.
Should I just tell Mrs. Kim?
Geum-soon means more to her than her own son.
No way.
Gosh, what should I do...
I shouldn't have heard him out. Jeez...
No, lie down.
I'm fine. What brought you here?
You, of course. How are you doing?
I'm doing well.
I was so worried.
I bet Dr. Jang was worried to death. He loves you so much.
He deserves better than this.
Don't say that.
He's paying the price for marrying a much younger woman, don't you think?
Some people don't like me because I always tell it as it is.
- Sit down. - Thanks.
How strange.
You should have lost weight, but your face has swollen up.
You really do tell it as it is.
It's good to see you smile. It makes me feel much better.
Miss Na.
I'll do that. You take this to Mrs. Oh.
She can't come in, but she needs this.
Ms. Jang's out, so she told me to send you over.
Go.
OK.
Hello.
Why are you here?
I'm here to see Mrs. Oh.
She's not in.
She isn't?
Are you here to see me?
You get along well with your brother-in-law.
In-laws can't be that close.
Are you sure you're just in-laws?
What does that mean?
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
