Be Strong, Geum-soon
I am not lonely, because I have a dream
And I won't give up
I'm in love with someone.
I'll introduce her to you this week.
You mean that?
Yes. Who'd lie about something like this?
True. You look serious too.
You've been seeing someone in secret?
Kind of.
My goodness... No wonder...
< Episode 120 > So that's what...
all the seminars were about.
I thought you were studying hard. You were just trying to throw me off?
You're too good.
Don't smile at me.
Who is it? What does she do?
Just wait a bit. You'll find out. Within this week.
Just tell me what she does. Is she a doctor at your hospital?
No. Wait a bit. Have breakfast.
I'm too curious to eat.
Tell me what she does.
I said wait. Eat up.
What?
They saw it too?
Your parents did too?
They saw it too?
Are you OK?
Of course not. They beat me black and blue.
Ever been hit by a bamboo stick? It hurts more than anything.
I see.
Are you free tomorrow afternoon? I think we should talk.
Remember the restaurant in front of my office?
Yes, see you there. Bye.
He's free.
What will you say to him?
Are you afraid I'll beat him up?
Let's go have breakfast.
Geum-soon. Geum-ah's family saw me on TV too.
Really?
They must've been shocked.
Did they shave Geum-ah's head?
She didn't mention that.
They can't do that. That's barbaric.
Barbaric? If my daughter did that...
I'd shave her head right away.
See?
We're in-laws. We should meet up to apologize or something.
Apologize for what? Nothing happened.
Exactly.
Your father is a bit behind the times.
Why should we apologize about something all couples do?
Why are you giving me that look?
Because you're being so open-minded for a change.
What do you mean by that?
What do you think? She means you're being a hypocrite.
Come on.
Sung-ran. I met Mr. Park...
Remember him? We met during lunch.
Yes.
He keeps saying you look very modern and smart.
A wonderful impression.
It made me feel great.
He's a great judge of character.
Sung-ran?
Let's go.
Honey.
Are you free for dinner tonight?
We have to talk.
Sure, let's.
About what?
I'll tell you over dinner. Let's go.
Leave it and go to work.
Let me finish up. I'll be late again tonight.
Isn't it too hard for you? You even pickled the radish on your own.
No worries.
Here's some money.
No thanks.
I still have half of what you last gave me.
I know you have a test, but I'd rather you not practice too much.
I'm really OK.
Have something nice for dinner. Don't just have ramen or a snack.
Thank you, ma'am.
I'm glad to see you're well. Is everything OK?
Yes, thank you. How is she?
She's much better.
I won't waste your time.
I couldn't keep my promise. Eun-joo found out.
My wife insisted and... Did Eun-joo say anything?
No. I didn't know she knew.
She just found out. She'll still be in shock.
I thought you should know.
Thank you for telling me.
You still don't like seeing me, do you?
I understand. I shouldn't be forgiven.
But I still want to do something for you.
To repay you for what you've done.
I don't deserve to say this, but thanks for growing up to be such a fine person.
Please tell me if there's anything I can do for you.
Sure.
Hello, sir. Welcome.
Can I help you?
Looking for something?
- I can manage. - Sure.
This one.
OK.
Go ahead with it.
OK. I'll place the order.
Alright.
Eun-joo.
I think I should tell you.
Jae-hee told me this morning.
That he's seeing someone.
He'll introduce her to me this week.
I'm so sorry.
I'm the one who dragged you into the whole thing.
I really hoped you two...
He really said that? That he'd introduce her to you?
Yes.
Has he lost his mind or something?
Did you know he was dating someone?
Yes. I recently found out.
I see. You knew. Why didn't you tell me?
I was afraid you'd freak out.
Why would I? You know who she is?
Yes, I do. We see her every day.
At our salon.
What do you mean? At our salon?
Yes.
Who is it?
Na Geum-soon.
What?
- Who? - Na Geum-soon.
What are you saying?
Na Geum-soon?
Unbelievable, huh? But it's true.
Jae-hee's been seeing her.
He comes over after we close. I thought he'd come out of it...
so that's why I didn't tell you...
Wait.
Are you sure?
Yes.
OK, you're excused.
Go to the show.
OK.
Geum-soon.
Follow me.
(Go.)
Geum-soon. I just heard something strange.
I don't believe it. I don't.
But I just want to check, so answer me truthfully.
Geum-soon. Are you dating my son?
Go on, answer me.
Geum-soon!
Answer it.
Go on.
Answer it!
Let's see.
Let me see.
Mrs. Oh.
(Mister)
It's me. I'll see you after work...
Mrs. Oh.
''Mrs. Oh''?
How dare you date my son, in my salon.
How could you, after all I've done for you?
When I even paid for your childcare.
How'd you possibly eat your dinner without choking yesterday?!
How dare you date my son!
How dare you...
Go.
Get out.
Go!!
Geum-soon.
I once told you I love someone.
That person... is Jae-hee.
I thought you should know.
- I'll take 5. - OK.
Let's get some grapes, ma'am. Sang-do loves grapes.
Goodness, hello, Mrs. Sohn.
Hello.
You're out shopping. So am I with...
Come on, say hello to her.
Hello.
It's so hot these days. Are you doing OK?
Yes, thank you. How are you?
We're fine. Nothing much has happened.
Did you watch the news?
Goodness, it looks like you did.
Weren't you shocked? We had the shock of our lives.
What's wrong with your sons and my granddaughters?
No.
Why don't we go inside somewhere and talk about what to do with the...
Ma'am.
We're late, we have to go.
We don't. We have to talk about the kids' future.
We don't need to talk about it.
Let's go. I have to go home and get ready for work.
What work? You said it's your day off today.
I'm still busy. Let's go.
Come. Hurry up.
I'm about to fall over.
See you around then.
Bye.
Let me go. I'll walk myself.
She doesn't think Tae-wan's good enough?
Nice.
I like it. Where did you get this idea?
- Let's see the samples. - Sure.
Why are you here?
Your office is bigger than I thought.
It's quite nice.
What?
He needs another $20,000.
That'll clear all his debts.
Stop doing this. It's my money, not yours.
You can spare that much. Your husband earns a lot too.
I gave you $30,000 for my son's sake.
I have no obligation whatsoever to give you or Kyung-min any money.
But I did for Woo-joo's sake.
But that's it.
You shouldn't do this.
You pretended you're a bachelorette.
Right?
I realized while talking to Mr. Noh.
How amazing.
You pretend to be a bachelorette?
So what?
What? ''So what?''
You wouldn't want Mr. Noh to find out.
Do you want to get divorced again because of money you have to spare?
I don't care what you say. I won't give you any more money.
Excuse me.
Sit.
Sit down!
Arrogant witch.
You ruined my son's life and pretend you'd never been married.
You think I'll let you do that?
No way.
Give me $20,000 or I'll tell your father-in-law everything.
Sung-ran.
Let's go.
Why... didn't you tell me?
You should have!
You should've told me before you gave him the money!
I was going to. That's why I asked you out for dinner.
I thought that would be it. I didn't think it would get this big.
Anyway you should've told me!
Why didn't you tell me the day we met him at lunch?
I'm sorry.
It's about your own son.
He's your ex-father-in-law.
Who the heck were you married to?
What kind of a jerk is he that lets his father blackmail you?
So why didn't you tell your parents?
Why did you make me such a big liar?
Do you know how scared I was the day we first met him?
Don't give me that look.
I'm angry and embarrassed already. Do you know how much I hate it?
It's disgusting.
I hate it that much.
I hate the fact I'd married his son.
It's driving me crazy.
I'd love to think they don't exist, but that's not possible.
I have a son.
It's hot, isn't it?
Yes. I'm about to faint.
Get changed and wash your hands. I bought some ice cream.
OK.
Drink up.
It's so hot.
Go ahead.
Thanks.
Geum-soon gave me your number.
I see.
Loosen up.
Tae-wan said he's dating you.
I wanted to meet you in person. Do you mind, miss?
Not at all. Sir, don't call me miss.
You don't mind?
You want to become a teacher?
No, I'm not cut out for it. I got a job recently.
So you're working?
Yes, for a PR agency.
Ah...
I might be wrong, but isn't that everyone's dream job?
What kind of PR?
I'm in PR for companies, but I'm interested in PR for movies.
I'm learning a lot now.
I'll try movies when I have the experience I need.
Good job. See you.
- Bye. - Goodbye.
Hello?
Do you know how many times I've called?
Are you busy?
Done, right?
Hello?
Yes. Go ahead.
Yes, I'm done.
- Let's meet up outside. - Sure, let's.
Remember the restaurant I first took you to?
You remember. See you there.
I'll be there in about 40 minutes. See you then.
Cheers.
Don't just put the glass down.
At least pretend to drink.
I'm so nervous.
I wasn't this nervous when I went to see the quack in Busan.
I've been thinking what to say...
all day long.
I wanted to say something amazing.
Something special, different, touching.
I even looked through some poems.
But nothing was good enough.
I'll just do it my way.
Let's get married.
Some things just don't work out
But I won't give up
It won't be easy
But I put on a smile
Life is bright, things will get better
I won't stop
I'll reach for the sky
I can make a change
