Be Strong, Geum-soon
I am not lonely, because I have a dream
And I won't give up
< Episode 99 >
What is it?
I feel bad.
About Geum-soon?
Because you asked about her husband?
Don't worry.
She's not as vulnerable as you think.
She's quite good at upsetting people.
She even hid the fact that she was married.
Get in.
Shall we have dinner? It's on me.
No. Take me to the hospital.
You feel sick?
A bit. I want to lie down.
OK. Wear your seatbelt.
- Sit down. - Thanks.
Given it some thought?
Yes.
However much I think...
I can't do as you said.
You're 100% right. I know that.
But life doesn't always work like that.
I hate myself. I really do. I'm sick to the stomach.
I knelt before the girl my wife abandoned as a child.
It's beyond reason.
I know that very well.
I just want...
to protect my family.
It's wrong.
Of course I know.
But still...
My family means more to me than any moral issue.
Min-ho. Please save my wife.
No one knows when she'll next faint or have another heart attack.
How do you think I feel about it?
I'd rather I knew how long she had to live.
I'm always wondering if she'll survive to get dialyzed again.
I'll be punished. I know that.
Can't you help?
Please, help me out.
It's me.
I'm done. You want a lift home?
I'm meeting someone.
- I see. Will you be late? - I don't know. I'll call you.
OK. See you at home.
Hello?
How are you?
I'm fine. What about you?
Really? Congratulations. You're getting married at last.
Now?
You should've called earlier.
I see. No, I can make it.
I heard your mother left.
Just for the day. She just fell asleep.
You're coping well.
I am. Bye.
Eun-joo.
Let's catch up. Are you free?
I'm done. Can we talk now?
No, I'm meeting someone.
OK. Then when...?
I don't know. I'll call you.
Sure. Don't forget.
OK.
Bye.
I was so surprised. I didn't think I'd see you till next year.
You're the first person I called.
What an honor. So how are you?
Sung-ran.
Shi-wan.
Hello.
I'm here to meet some friends.
Oh.
Say hello.
Dong-suk, say hello.
This is...
Nice to meet you. I'm Han Dong-suk.
Hello. I'm Noh Shi-wan.
Hello.
Who is he?
My husband.
Your husband?
You got married?
Yes. Not long ago.
Why didn't you tell me?
You were in Germany.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
We were graduate school classmates. He flew over for a short break.
Where are your friends?
Over there.
Join us.
No thanks, I have company.
Have fun.
You too.
I'll call you.
Hello?
It's me, Tae-wan. How are you?
Not yet.
- I start tomorrow. - Then let's meet up later today.
Hi.
You should say hello too.
You haven't eaten, have you? Let's go, I'll buy you dinner.
Forget dinner. Can you lend me $20,000?
What for? To get your uncle out?
I see.
That's all you need? I thought you'd need much more.
How much do you know? What else have you heard?
Tell me.
What else do you know?! Tell me, you scumbag!
Why do you snoop around like that?!
Tell me what else you know.
That's it. There's nothing else.
I'm being honest.
I heard Dr. Jang offered money for your kidney.
Don't be too embarrassed.
I'd be embarrassed if I were you, but still, don't be.
I didn't tell anyone. Don't worry.
Cheers.
Drink it. Alcohol helps on days like this.
My arm hurts now.
Say cheers.
Or I'll tell everyone your secret.
OK, forget it.
You're really slow.
You really thought she was dead because people told you so?
I found out right away.
That the person who gave me my Y chromosome is still alive.
You do know what I meant by that, right?
People use the word ''father.''
I don't have one.
I just don't.
Born out of wedlock.
The result of an affair.
A mistress' son, to be exact.
That makes me an illegitimate child.
I can't use the word ''father'' like other kids do.
Pitiful, huh?
My mom and aunt told me my dad had died.
But something wasn't right.
The looks on their faces...
weren't solemn or reminiscent at all.
It was like they were full of hatred and anger.
Then there was the total lack of any paternal relatives.
Relatives don't all die together when one dies, right?
No one from my father's family ever came to see me.
That's how I found out.
Ah...
I'm an illegitimate child.
My mom had an affair and had me.
So don't get upset or feel embarrassed around me.
I'm just like you.
Let's drink to that.
Crazyhair, you're really stubborn. I'd have forgiven me if I were you.
Following me again?
Yes.
Don't. My life is complicated enough.
I need time to think.
I understand. I would if I were you.
Just say 3 words. ''I forgive you.''
You lied about your sister?
Yes.
How could you make that up?
I didn't want you to find out I was in love with you.
Will you forgive me?
Yes.
Thanks.
Still need $20,000?
Not anymore.
For your uncle?
No.
I could lend it to you.
No thanks.
You settled already? Can I help with anything?
No.
You settled, or you don't need help?
Both.
That's great news.
You won't give her your kidney, right? I hope not. You shouldn't.
Let's not talk about that.
OK, I understand.
Crazyhair.
Oh, nothing.
To Jinnae, please.
I'm home.
Ma'am.
Geum-ah?
I'm home.
Have you eaten?
You think I could possibly eat now?
You're even worse than her.
How could you free my son without asking me first?
And with her money?
You'd never accept it.
He's your son, but he's my husband too.
I said I'm sorry.
I'd just love to run over to her house...
and beat her for showing up after all these years.
But I can't because of the money you took from her.
It's not that I don't want to.
It's because we can't cough up the money.
I know you'd want to kick up a storm.
You did all that behind my back and you still eat and sleep just fine.
How could you take their money to get Sang-do out of jail?
It's dirty money.
I thought long and hard about it too.
It wasn't easy on me either.
I'm sorry.
But you have to eat.
No thanks.
I can't even hold in my sorrow and anger.
I can't possibly eat now.
You have to. I'll set the table.
Sorry, Geum-ah.
I have to go to a photo shoot. I'll call you tomorrow. Sorry.
The cell phone has been turned off.
You have something to say?
No.
It's just that you look unhappy.
You've been quiet all evening.
I don't talk as much as you do.
Is it because you saw a construction site?
Yeah.
I can work for at least 10 more years, but I'm at home fanning my grandson.
Stop it then.
Give it back.
Stop fanning him. I don't like seeing you do it either.
I'll baby-sit. Go meet a friend.
Go out for a drink or something.
It's too late for that.
That's when you drink, in the evening.
You shouldn't drink in the daytime. That's just wrong.
You think? Give that back.
I didn't mean it.
I should get used to it.
Leaves turn and fall in the autumn.
That's just life.
Why don't you learn something?
You've been too busy to watch movies or have a hobby.
You'll have the time once Hwee-sung starts preschool.
I'm home.
Sung-ran's home.
Let's do that. Sounds like fun.
Come in.
- I'm home. - Hi.
Shi-wan's in your room.
OK.
