Be Strong, Geum-soon
I am not lonely, because I have a dream
And I won't give up
< Episode 111 >
Don't work too hard. You have to look after yourself.
I'll just practice a bit after training today.
Sir.
Thanks for the lunch.
Thanks for everything.
Sure. Get going.
See you later.
Bye.
Did she really come home to change?
What if she stayed out? I shouldn't let that happen.
I wish I knew.
What on earth did Shi-wan do wrong?
- Hello? - It's me.
- What are you doing? - Cleaning, of course.
Where are you?
A date? In the stifling heat?
Let's watch a movie.
I know you'd like that. I'll buy the tickets.
OK.
That's too early, I have to change.
See you there then. Bye.
You told them not to mix the colors?
Yes.
You can't tell from the samples. Go and check the site.
We need plenty of space to move around.
Ms. Ha.
Mr. Park, check the site.
- That's all for now. - OK.
How dare you stay out all night.
Well?
Fine, I'm sorry. I did a terrible thing.
But that doesn't mean you can stay out without even calling.
Say something!
You're living with in-laws! You should always sleep at home!
You have the right to say that?
You're so upright, you didn't tell your parents...
that I have a kid and that I was a divorcee?!
So you deceived me into marrying you?!
I never knew you'd stoop so low.
I never thought you'd go this far.
This isn't a white lie.
You're a coward who lied to get your way!
So what now?
It's spilt milk and I'm begging for forgiveness.
I'm sorry, it's all my fault.
I've never begged like this before.
I truly apologize.
Everyone can make a mistake. Can't you even pretend to forgive me?
Let's split up.
What?
Let's split up. I don't want to live a lie.
How could you say that?
What the...
Is it that easy for you?
How can you say it just like that?
I knew you'd say that.
Maybe you thought I'd be too afraid.
Yes, it's easy for me. I did it once, I can do it again.
Don't you dare say that!
You should watch what you say!
So you're bragging about your past?!
What?
Fine. What do you want me to do?
How can I make you feel better?
You want me to kneel?
Will that make you feel better?
Will it?
Nothing will help!
It's spilt milk.
I hate the fact that there's nothing I can do about it.
No matter how angry I am...
all I can do is either divorce you or just accept it!
I'm really... sorry. I apologize.
I'm sick of hearing that.
Sung-ran.
Go away. I don't even want to see your face.
I...
I thought you'd be different.
I really thought so.
You're the one who made me believe in love again.
You made me dream of happiness again.
I thought you'd be different.
I did it out of love.
Don't say that.
My ex-husband said that even while he suspected and beat me.
He said it was love.
Ha Sung-ran!
What? Does it upset you? Now do you know how I feel?!
Go.
I hate your guts.
Keep your other fingers still and just move your thumb.
You might hurt yourself if you move all your fingers.
Move your thumb, like this.
It'll take time to perfect.
And lots of practice.
Your arms should take the shape of a diamond.
Relax your shoulders and lower your elbows.
Let's try it.
Like this...
Relax your shoulders.
Lower your elbows.
Have you heard? Dr. Jang isn't getting along with Mrs. Kim.
Dr. Oh said she wouldn't let him in her room.
I heard her surgery's been postponed. More like cancelled.
I told you not to gossip about others.
It's Dr. Jang we're talking about.
Are you his son?
No, sir.
Ma'am.
Have a seat.
Sit. Sit down.
Geum-soon said she told you to take her kidney. Did she?
Feeling relieved now? Happy you won't have to die?
Of course not. Please don't say that.
I won't ever do that. I'd rather die than take her kidney.
I'm getting ready to leave the country.
I'll leave as soon as I get strong enough.
You don't have to worry.
I'll leave within the week.
Your life might look treacherous, but your husbands make up for that.
Where did you meet this one?
You got my precious son killed and now you want your kid's kidney?
- Ma'am. - Be quiet.
Just hearing you say that makes something burn inside me.
Be quiet and listen to me.
If you can even imagine how much I hated coming here...
be quiet and let me talk first.
Geum-soon, the poor thing you abandoned as a kid...
wants to save your life.
She doesn't want you to suffer.
She called you her mom.
So she wants to save you, even if it means giving you a kidney.
Ma'am.
I said be quiet!
So...
just...
take it.
No more saying you don't dare. That'll just make her life worse.
You gave up your conscience the day you left her 22 years ago.
So don't refuse the transplant because it makes you feel bad, OK?
Why not? You don't have a conscience.
Take her kidney. You're a monster.
That's what monsters do, so take it and continue to live.
See what it's like to live when you'd rather die.
Take a kidney from the baby you abandoned...
and see how rosy that makes your life.
Ma'am...
You're crying?
In front of me? How dare you. You have tears left to shed?
Don't pretend you do.
Do you know how it feels to bury your child?
I took it out on you and you left.
Do you know how I felt, waiting for you day and night?
I didn't lock the gate for months.
In case you came back.
I didn't want the fatherless kid to lose her mom too.
So I banged on your parents' door for days with my bare hands.
I was sick. I was in a hospital...
Whatever.
I don't care where you were and what you did.
All I know is that you went to America.
And that you got married shortly after.
Forget this...
What's the use of telling you all this?
Just get the transplant.
It's nothing compared to the heartache you've already caused.
Take the kidney and live.
See what it's like to wish every day were your last.
I can't do that. I just can't.
I'd rather you tell me to kill myself...
Yeah? Then die. Let's see you bite your tongue.
Let's see you break the poor girl's heart once more.
What good would that do Geum-soon?
The mom she thought was dead shows up begging for a kidney.
She says she'll give you one when you suddenly kill yourself.
I bet that would make her smile.
You're worse than any monster I've ever heard of.
Ma'am.
Ma'am...
Ma'am.
Are you OK?
Hello. Remember me? I met you once.
I remember you. You're that handsome doctor.
Yes. Are you sick?
I'm fine. I'm just a bit tired.
Lean on me.
Thank you so much.
Take me downstairs, please.
I lost my way.
I don't know where the elevator is.
I'll take you downstairs. Lean on me.
Can you walk?
Of course, I can. Lead the way.
I'll walk you out.
No need to, I'm fine. Thank you. Bye.
I must... pull myself together...
You have to get dialyzed.
I know.
I need to make a phone call.
I'll see you there, after I make the call.
Sure.
Hello.
What time is tomorrow's first flight to Tokyo?
- Hello. - It's been a while.
Slice me some nice ox bones.
- Would 2 pieces do? - Yes, 2 pieces.
Make sure they're nice and big.
It's for someone who'll go through surgery.
Tae-wan.
You're angry?
Sorry. My boss made me do something.
I'm not angry, just sleepy. Hurry, let's go somewhere.
Sorry I can't call often.
I'm just too busy.
That's OK. You have to earn your pay.
Let's go.
We're the oldest people here. It's quite embarrassing.
We have an hour left. Should we have had dinner first?
Let's enjoy dinner after the movie.
OK.
You want to say something?
Huh?
You look anxious and worried. And you rarely call me out for movies.
You want me to do something for you?
You're a mind reader.
You didn't know? Tell me, what is it?
Later.
Just tell me now.
We have time and I'm curious.
Will it ruin the mood?
Is it about Shi-wan? Did he really cheat on Sung-ran?
No, it's not about that.
Then what is it about? I'm curious.
Honey.
Geum-soon wants to give her mother a kidney.
So?
So I took her to the hospital to meet her mother's doctor.
He said anyone can live with just one kidney.
So I gave her my permission.
What?
Let her do as she wants.
Are you crazy?
Have you lost your mind?! Have you?!
- Shh... - How...?
Are you insane? Have you lost your mind?
Honey...
You shouldn't have, for Hwee-sung's sake.
And without asking me?!
Would you have let her if she were your daughter?!
How could you?!
Honey.
Hello? It's me. Where are you?
At the salon.
Training's over, I'm alone.
I'll be right there.
- Mister, I... - See you soon.
Sorry to call you on your day off.
I can't make it to tomorrow's meeting.
- Here's the file. - Thanks.
Don't worry.
You don't feel well?
It must be the flu. I have a fever and my body aches.
Go and lie down.
Gosh.
Your arm's burning hot. Are you OK?
I feel like someone just beat me all over.
- I didn't know you were this sick. - Yeah.
It's OK.
Don't suck it. It's gross.
It's a waste of blood. I have anemia.
Let go. It's not a deep cut.
You need to put pressure on it.
Let go. I'm fine.
You're not. Wait till it stops bleeding.
Why are you blushing?
Let go. I'm fine now.
I have some news.
Your face is really red.
I saw your grandmother. At the hospital.
My granny?
Yes.
Why was she there? Did you ask her?
I didn't.
It's for me.
OK.
I'll get a Band-Aid while you answer it.
Hello? Tae-wan.
At the salon.
Yes, I had a session.
It's over now.
I'm nearby. See you there.
Don't come.
No.
Don't come. I'm with someone.
You won't know anyway.
Someone from work.
When things get tough
Don't suffer alone
Now you have someone with you
Someone who loves you
Don't worry, just smile
Look around you
You're surrounded by people
Who love you as you are
When things get tough
