Be Strong, Geum-soon
I am not lonely, because I have a dream
And I won't give up
Jae-hee.
< Episode 82 > Mrs. Oh.
My goodness. Jae-hee.
- What happened? - I'm sorry. He drank too much.
Gosh, he stinks.
Why'd he drink so much? This way.
The fool... He knows he can't drink.
You should've stopped him. You let him drown himself.
I couldn't stop him. He's having a hard time.
Gosh...
Let's leave him to sleep it off.
What got into him?
Why is the clock so slow? It should be dawn by now.
I'll call him when dawn breaks.
No, I'll go to his office.
Is this clock broken?
Why can't you sleep?
Are you worried about Sang-do?
Don't be. Worrying won't change a thing.
He'll be fine. Let's just wish him the best.
OK.
Where did she go?
Soon-ja.
Where could she be?
Has she gone to Sang-do? No, I said I'd go with Geum-ah.
Did she go to the sauna?
Jang Gi-joong speaking.
Hello. This is Geum-soon's aunt.
I must've lost my mind last night. I'd like to call it off.
I can't do this.
- I wired the money. - What?
Insert your bankbook.
Printing new entries.
(Printing)
Take your bankbook.
Oh no. Oh no... What should I do?
Geum-soon.
- Good morning. - Did you sleep well?
You really don't think we need a dishwasher?
I'd like one.
See? How about asking about it again?
You yourself said you'd like one.
I don't have a say because I can't contribute.
What do you mean?
Now I get it.
I'll pay for it. I pay for everything now.
Then I'm up for it.
Good. I'll bring it up, but I'll need your support.
Sure.
You cook, I'll do the dishes.
- No, I can manage on my own. - I'll help. There's so much to do.
OK.
It's a huge problem.
If I don't do it, you or Mrs. Sohn has to.
That's why I feel obligated.
Women don't have to be pressured.
They didn't give you any free time till now?
You did all the cooking and cleaning?
No, Mrs. Sohn helped a lot.
You won't know, but time flies when you're a mom.
Sometimes I'd fall asleep. Then Mrs. Sohn would cook dinner.
Back then, Tae-wan was in the army.
I still don't get it. I wouldn't stay without a husband.
I didn't have a choice.
Here Hwee-sung has grandparents and uncles.
I didn't have a big family, so I wanted one for Hwee-sung.
It was hard at first, but everyone's so nice.
You think everyone's nice.
- You're such a slowpoke. - I have a photo shoot today.
I need my beauty sleep.
Ma'am, about the housework.
We need a dishwasher.
Like I said before, our family's big, and there are too many dishes.
Washing them by hand every time is just too inefficient.
It's hard on you too.
Yes, we could do with one.
I don't have much time in the morning.
They all have a point. Why don't we just get one?
Your shoulders hurt too anyway.
OK then. Whatever.
You're saying yes?
Yes. I don't always say no as long as you ask first.
Get someone to set it up.
Thank you.
By the way, has anyone read that article?
The average time working couples spend on housework.
32 minutes for men, 3 hours 28 minutes for women.
Really?
As much as 32 minutes?
The guys in our family don't do a thing.
I wasn't implying anything, sir.
I know you weren't.
Tae-wan, we're doing the dishes.
Sung-ran, Geum-soon, Shi-wan go to work.
We're the only unemployed people. Let's do the dishes.
No, sir. I'll do the dishes today.
There's no need. I can't sit around all day.
I have to earn my keep.
Tae-wan, we're doing the dishes.
I have a photo shoot. I'm not unemployed anymore.
Fine. I'm the only unemployed one here!
- Sir... - OK, I'll help.
No thanks. Eat up.
I have to get ready for work now.
OK.
Hey.
Did she brainwash you?
No.
I couldn't believe it. I thought it was planned.
No.
We talked about the dishwasher, but not about the housework issue.
Itjust made me think about us. But I really wasn't implying anything.
Mr. Noh's been baby-sitting, so...
It's true.
The guys in our family don't help...
but I'm not upset or anything.
I'd rather you didn't say that.
Go get ready for work. I'll do the dishes and earn my keep.
No, let me do...
Gosh, the time...
I really mustn't be late for work. I have to get ready...
Sung-ran's totally ruined the girl.
This is why you should watch who you hang out with.
We have to be careful.
What are you grumbling about?
Move, I'll do that.
Stop aggravating me.
I'm not. I don't mind at all.
You wanted me to help when we were newlyweds.
Why are you so upset when I'm here to help?
Tae-wan, where the heck are you?!
I'm coming!
Move, I'll do it.
- Let go. - I'll do it.
Geum-soon's amusing. You never know what she'll say.
You think she's amusing? You're scary.
Why?
You're like a time bomb.
My father recently quit his job, remember?
I forgot.
But it was about working couples.
I didn't mean anything. I just thought it was interesting.
Your folks aren't the only ones living in the 20th century.
I was shocked nothing much has changed.
Did I upset your father?
I don't think you did, fortunately.
- That's good. - You want to have lunch together?
I have to visit a site around lunchtime.
Then dinner?
I have to work late. I'm not sure I can make it.
- Try. - I'll call you.
Where's your mom?
I don't know. I wish she had a cell phone.
You think she went to see your dad? I'm sure we told her we'd go today.
I hope she didn't. If so, we can't see him.
That's why I'm worried.
Let's eat up and go there anyway. I can'tjust sit around at home.
Sure.
You're up.
Feeling better?
Much better. I'm going to get dialyzed.
Already? Take your time.
I want to go home. The sooner the better.
I'm glad I'm not a doctor.
I spend so much time here and I still don't like it.
You must be feeling better. I'll walk you over.
- Eun-jin went to school? - Yes, I drove her.
When did Eun-joo come home yesterday?
She was late. I was too tired to stay up.
Sir.
Let's talk inside.
Come in.
Sit down.
No, I'll just say what I have to.
Sit down.
I'm really sorry, but I can't help you.
I think I... No... I surely made a mistake.
I got upset and...
Yes?
Your wife fainted again.
What?
Sorry. I'll call you later.
Honey.
- Dr. Jang. - Honey.
Honey.
- Dr. Jang. - Honey.
We cancelled her session. Let's wait and see.
Let's hope her BP rises again.
She looked fine this morning.
Her body's not coping as well as it used to.
But she only just woke up. It's killing me.
You're letting me down. Don't be such a sore loser.
What?
She didn't love you back. Why get drunk over her?
I'm hungry.
Eun-joo brought you home.
I know.
Have you seen my cell phone?
No. Did you leave it somewhere?
Maybe. I'll have to check.
I'll let you off just this once.
OK. Eat up.
Hello?
Hi. How are you feeling?
I had it all along, remember?
You asked me to take care of it.
I did? I'll come by for it if you're at home.
Huh? Oh... I left for work already.
I'm in a taxi.
I can't make lunch.
Let's have dinner.
I'm free this evening. My mom should be coming home today.
OK, see you there.
Dad.
Geum-ah. Mom. What are you doing here?
- You have a stomachache. - I'm fine now.
Mom said you have gallstones. I heard it hurts a lot.
Every now and then, not all the time.
Don't worry about me, mom.
I don't worry.
You're just saying that.
Jerk.
Let's just smile.
I feel much better now that I made up my mind.
I have to pay the price. Let's just get it over and done with.
It's just like a hotel here.
You moron.
Mom.
I'm too old for that. And Geum-ah's watching.
Hurry up. You're slowing us down too.
What's wrong?
- Are you OK? - What's wrong?
- Is she OK? - What should we do?
I think you have stress-induced stomach cramps.
Has something been worrying you?
We'll get you a bed. Stay here for a night.
For a night?
Hello?
Mom.
What's wrong? You sound strange.
What?
See, it says 20 ft., not 1 8ft.
Mr. Lee, I told you. You mustn't make a mistake.
I'm sorry.
We're running late.
Can't you do anything without me?
I can't trust you now.
I'm sorry.
Fix it by this evening.
- Do it properly this time. - I will.
Please.
- Mister. - Yes?
It looks too rough.
Is it your first time? You're too tense.
Loosen up.
Not like that. Hang on...
Let's see... Loosen up.
Relax. Relax and let it go.
Once more, loosen up.
Thank you, come again.
We're done for the day. Let's clear up.
- Good job. - Greatjob.
- Greatjob, Hye-mi. - Thank you.
- Goodbye. - Bye.
Miss. When can I learn how to dye hair?
Soon.
I want to start soon. I guess I'm overambitious.
Now that I perm hair, I want to do even more.
My mom's in the hospital with stomach cramps.
Give me a call.
- I'll order later. - Sure.
Sit down.
I will when I want to.
You and your temper gave you the cramps.
You should be nice.
I'm his mom and I'm doing fine. Why are you sick in bed?
I'm sorry. How is he?
He says he's OK, but he looks terrible.
But the pain's gone. He says he's fine.
He's worried about you.
He wouldn't want you to be sick. I hope you get well soon.
I don't want to be sick, you know.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
How do you feel?
You fool.
You told her not to say hello.
So why are you sulking?
Will my heart still be the same?
Will you stay with me?
I pray even time will change nothing
Will your heart still be the same?
Will you stay with me?
