Be Strong, Geum-soon
I am not lonely, because I have a dream
And I won't give up
< Episode 119 >
You must be doing really well.
I'll wire this to Kyung-min.
Let's go, if you have nothing more to say.
I don't.
What more could we have to say?
See you.
Goodbye. Take care.
Ms. Ha.
Your husband's here, in the meeting room.
Thanks.
Hello there.
This is nice.
I'm getting excited.
Hello? Mister, you called me?
Sorry, I was busy.
I have to practice. I didn't get to yesterday.
OK, see you at the salon.
- Bye. - Mister, don't come.
I don't have... Hello?
Mr. Lee thanks you for making the show a success.
It's a pleasure.
Are you free? I'll buy you dinner.
Sure.
Let's stop by the salon. I left a book there.
You did? But it'll be rush hour soon.
Let's stop by. I really want to read it today.
OK then. You're the driver.
Let's listen to some music.
Jae-hee must be here.
Yes.
Geum-soon's still practicing.
- Mrs. Oh. - You're practicing?
Yes.
Ms. Yoon gave her permission.
She did?
Is my son here? His car's outside.
- Well, he's... - Tada.
Mom.
What's this?
Oh... It's hot, so I made...
Some iced coffee.
You made it for Geum-soon?
Jae-hee.
You're not like this at home.
Oh, come on.
Why are you here?
I came by to see you.
You had dinner yet?
Huh?
No.
Coffee on an empty stomach isn't good. OK.
Let's go have dinner.
I invited Eun-joo out.
Eun-joo, go get your book.
Jae-hee.
Hi.
- Mom, I... - Mrs. Oh.
Invite Geum-soon too. She's our best trainee.
No, I...
Yes, Geum-soon. Let's go have dinner.
No, Mrs. Oh.
You're doing as I said.
Go and get changed.
Why aren't you eating? Eat up.
How's your mother?
Is she fully recovered?
Yes, she's much better.
How are you, Geum-soon?
Are you alright now?
Yes.
Disk surgery?
Yes.
It must've hurt to stand up. How did you manage at work?
Right, Jae-hee?
It depends on the person.
She must've been in a lot of pain.
How impressive.
That's why I like her. She works hard with integrity.
Geum-soon.
Why are you so tense?
Loosen up and eat.
OK.
Jae-hee.
Geum-soon reminds me of my past.
I did all I could to bring you up alone.
I worked hard for long hours.
That's what I like about Geum-soon too.
It can't be easy bringing up a child while working.
Geum-soon.
You said your husband died in a car accident.
How did you meet him?
Yeah.
I'm curious too.
She got married so young. They must've really been in love.
Tell us, Geum-soon.
I've been wanting to hear your full life story.
How did you two meet?
- When did you part? - Mom.
What? We're close enough.
You don't want to tell?
You don't?
I guess so. Let's change the topic.
Gosh, it's so hot.
- I'm home. - Hi there.
Isn't it hot? You had a good day?
Sit down.
What's wrong now?
I didn't tell your dad.
He'd beat you to death if he found out.
Don't see him again.
Mom.
I don't want to know what happened. I'll forget what you said.
OK?
- I'm home. - Sang-do's home.
Don't forget. It's all over now.
Isn't it hot?
Sure is.
It's supposed to be hot in summer, but it's way too hot today.
I froze some watermelon.
It'll be just like sherbet. Have some before you shower.
When did she make that? She never mentioned it to me.
Here.
Looks good.
You're so dark.
It'll make your face look even smaller.
You need a facial.
Have a ginseng drink.
Ginseng?
You need the extra energy, so I made you a drink.
I can't put up with this anymore.
I can't believe you can act so affectionately.
You have this.
I don't like ginseng.
Can I?
Go on. You need it more than I do.
Thank you.
Today must be my day. This is so refreshing.
Geum-ah's not home yet?
She's home, she's in her room.
Geum-ah!
How nice.
I'm home.
- I'm home. - Good timing.
Wipe my sweat with that towel.
I was afraid it would drip into the food.
Why make this when it's so hot?
We're out of kimchi.
We always eat it.
I feel bad to see you do all the housework.
You want me to help?
What's gotten into you?
Come on, hire a helper.
Your doing everything makes me feel uncomfortable.
I can manage.
You're being so nice today.
Get the salted shrimp.
OK.
Father's coming home late?
He's meeting someone.
Someone he worked with in Cheongju.
Oh, the man we met in the restaurant?
You know him?
We met at a restaurant a few days ago.
He had a landscaping business...
but he's retired now.
Sung-ran, put some in here.
OK.
You can't open it? Give it to me.
It's easy. Here.
That's why you went bankrupt.
It must've been hard.
That was back then. It's been a while now.
Your eldest was quite handsome.
Is it his first marriage?
Pardon? Yes, of course it is.
I see. So many people get divorced these days.
Yes...
No children yet?
Of course not. They only just got married.
But they're not getting any younger, so I do wish they'd have a baby soon.
The first birth is always the hardest.
First birth?
Pardon?
Of course, the first is the hardest.
- It's burning. Let's eat. - Sure.
Can we talk?
First of all... I'm sorry.
For giving you a hard time.
After all, I owe you my life, and I know you did it for me.
But it's not easy to forgive you.
Maybe because I can't forgive myself.
But actually...
Geum-soon should be the one to forgive you... and me.
I don't know if she will.
She might not let me, but I want to be a mother to her.
That's why I want Eun-joo and Eun-jin to know.
If that's what you want, do it.
I am afraid, but Eun-jin has to know too.
Give me some time.
It's not that I can't forgive you.
I can't forgive myself.
See you.
See you tomorrow.
- Granny. - Why are you here?
I came because I missed you.
Tada.
What's this?
How did you know?
It's been so hot, I'd been wishing I could have some ice cream.
I knew you would. I'm your granddaughter.
Good girl, well done.
Eat it, looks delicious.
It's melted a bit.
Say ''ah.''
It's so nice.
Look at you open your mouth as if you're a baby bird.
- Eat up. - OK, you too.
Aren't you feeling tired because of the heat?
No, I'm fine.
My mother and father-in-law let me rest for a full 6 weeks.
Mrs. Sohn says she'll make me work, but she does everything herself.
That's nice of her.
Then is Hwee-sung sick?
No, he's doing very well.
Then why do you look so down?
Something's not right. Tell me. You can tell me anything.
Granny.
Yes?
I...
I forgot about Jung-wan the past few months.
I...
I completely forgot about him.
I didn't think of him.
And I didn't notice I wasn't thinking of him.
How could I, of all people?
Don't say that. You're only human.
Who can remember every single detail in life?
We all forget the good, the bad, even all the heartbreaks.
You try remembering everything.
Your heart will get so packed up, it'll burst in no time at all.
People go on living, even when their own child dies.
Look at me.
Your dad died, but I'm still alive and well.
Still, I shouldn't forget him.
You weren't with Jung-wan for a long time.
What's up? What made you think that?
Nothing.
Eat up, it's melting.
You're late. I've been waiting.
Go home. I have to practice.
Wait.
Get in. I won't go far.
Get in right now.
When will you quit?
Even I'm sick of it.
Wait.
Sorry, maybe next time.
What was that? What's wrong?!
Sorry.
I don't want to talk today.
No way.
I have to talk to you.
I just don't get you.
Why are you seeing me?
Tell me. Why?
Are you just bored?
Why are you shouting?
I can't help but shout.
What was that about? Am I contagious?
Am I a criminal?
How could you cringe and hide when I'm right there?
You couldn't talk back to your mother either.
I know.
I felt so bad, I left her on the street and drove over to see you.
I felt uncomfortable all through dinner.
I could only imagine how you felt.
So I left my mom to come to see you.
But...
Move out.
What?
Move out. They're your in-laws.
Why do you still live there?
Tell me, why are you seeing me?
Well?
Tell me why.
Why are YOU seeing me?
Crazyhair, I asked you first.
Fine. I'll think about it.
I've been meaning to. I'll think about it.
I have to go. My test is only a few days away.
Do you think... I'm seeing you for fun?
Would I date a single mother for fun?
Think about it.
I'm the clever one here.
You're dumb, so you need more time.
Think about it.
But... you only have a day.
You got home late?
- Not really. - Here.
Mom.
Yes?
I'm in love with someone.
I'll introduce her to you this week.
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
