Be Strong, Geum-soon
I am not lonely, because I have a dream
And I won't give up
< Episode 121 >
Let's get married.
Let's.
It's beautiful.
Is it real?
Come on.
I've never seen a real diamond before. Is it genuine?
Yes.
Does it fit?
It's big.
Really?
I tried to get it right.
It's OK, they can fix that.
Let's see how it looks.
Beautiful.
Really?
It doesn't feel like mine.
Sorry.
It's not for me.
I never thought about remarriage.
- And... - Me neither.
I never thought about marriage until now.
I have this phobia...
about starting my own family.
I never had a proper family.
But...
You made me think of it as a possibility.
If...
it's with you...
then I think it could work.
So you give it some thought too.
I'm not in a rush. Take your time.
I didn't think I'd propose so soon.
It's to avoid situations like yesterday's dinner.
It's not like this is illegal or anything. I didn't like it.
Let's go public.
Like other couples.
I'll tell my mother about us first.
You might get angry if I say this.
But you...
move away from your in-laws.
We can take our time...
I don't want to do that.
I don't want to.
I came...
to break up with you today.
Why?
My becoming a hair stylist...
comes before my dating you.
I have a test tomorrow. I should be practicing now.
I'm wasting my time. It's annoying.
OK.
I won't disturb you when you practice from now on. OK?
No.
I won't see you anymore.
I snapped out of my dream yesterday.
I have to wake up.
We're not meant to be.
If you're scared about what my mother might say, don't be.
I'll take care of that.
I already told her this morning.
That I'm in love with someone.
That I'll introduce the girl to her.
She knows already.
She knows?
How?
I don't know how... But she does.
And it's not about her.
I...
feel uncomfortable.
That's why.
How did you know she knows?
Let's go.
I have to go.
Mom.
- Ma'am. - Yes.
You can go home now.
- Goodbye. - Yes, thanks.
Goodbye.
- Mom. - Mom?
What did you call me?
You jerk.
How did you know?
How do you know I know? Were you with Geum-soon?!
How could you do this to me?
I didn't bring you up so you'd betray me.
Mom.
What a shock.
You've betrayed my love!
And you call me ''mom''?
How could you date a trainee, a divorcee with a child...
and in my own salon too?!
Didn't it make you feel bad? Don't you care about me?!
Huh?!
How could you do this to me?!
How, how, how...
Tell me you won't see her again.
Promise me.
Promise me!
Mom.
I want to marry her.
What? You want to what?
Marry her. You wanted me to get married.
Mom.
What? Marry her?
Did you... hit her like this today?
What? You jerk...
I lived my life for you. I did all I could for you...
- You jerk. - Mom.
- You jerk. - Mom!
Let go. Let go! Let me go!
OK!
I will... So please calm down.
Let go.
Let go!
Mom.
Let's sit down first.
What? Marry her?
Mom, let's talk.
I have nothing to talk about.
I haven't even started yet. Hear me out.
I won't marry her right now.
I want you to acknowledge us. Then...
Jae-hee. Do you know how adamant I can be?
Yes.
Have I ever said no to something then changed my mind?
- Mom. - Have I?
No.
If you know that much, let it drop.
Don't push me over the edge.
The jerk.
After all I did for him...
The more I think about it, the more it annoys me.
What are you so annoyed about?
Welcome home.
- You see. - Yes?
I met Geum-soon's aunt and grandmother while shopping.
You did? How embarrassing.
It sure was embarrassing.
But Geum-soon's aunt dragged her mother-in-law away.
To get away.
No, it wasn't that.
It was more like because she doesn't think Tae-wan's good enough.
How dare she. Tae-wan's a great catch.
He's very handsome.
He's funny and easy-going.
And he'll become a star someday.
Tae-wan's like a lottery ticket.
Just wait until his big break.
He'll be worth more than any lottery ticket.
Actors get paid millions for a single ad.
A lottery ticket? You said that right.
It's great if you have the winning numbers.
But what about the thousands who lose out?
What?
Have you ever...
met someone who won the lottery?
Big breaks are all great, but how many stars are there?
Tae-wan's a total loser because even you think...
I'm home.
Gosh, it's hot. The weather's driving me crazy.
See? He's doing nothing with his life because you believe in him.
When will you grow up?
Father.
You should've called. We ate because we thought you'd be late.
I didn't have to join them for dinner.
It was so hot, I just wanted to come home and shower.
Good idea. Go on then.
- Sang-do's home? - Do you want some watermelon?
No thanks.
That reminds me. Why did you drag me home?
What if Geum-ah really did cross the line?
You keep saying that. She wouldn't have.
I know how much you want to believe so.
I only have one wish.
I worked hard all my life. And I never once hurt anyone.
All I want is for Geum-ah to marry a decent person.
That's all I want.
Is that too much? Do you think so?
No.
Let's tell your father.
We should.
All hell will break loose if he hears from Mr. Park.
OK. Let's tell him.
Today.
I'm scared. Mr. Park might meet up with him tomorrow.
Tell him today.
Don't give me that look.
OK, I'm sorry.
I made this mess, so I'll tell your father.
OK. You're right, we have to do something about it.
I'll tell him.
Alone.
Alone?
No, I'll...
No.
I'll go alone.
For my father's sake.
Father.
Where are you?
You're home already.
I have something... to tell you.
I'd like to meet you somewhere.
Now?
Can't we talk at home?
OK.
See you there then. In 40 minutes. Bye.
Was it Shi-wan?
Yes.
Why is he calling you out?
Am I not allowed to join you?
I don't know. Why, are you upset?
Of course. You're leaving me out.
Let's talk.
Sit down. Eun-joo.
I know...
just how disappointed you are.
I deceived you for nearly 20 years. You'll hate me more than anything.
I know how you feel.
You know how I feel?
Eun-joo.
Jae-hee's in love with someone. Guess who?
It's Geum-soon.
Yes, your daughter.
The girl with a heart of gold.
Jae-hee knew all about this, yet he didn't tell me anything.
He knows how much I love him, but...
he deceived me.
You, dad, Geum-soon. You all acted like you planned to leave me out.
How do you think I feel? Do you really know?
If you do, go tell your daughter...
to give up on Jae-hee right now.
Then I'll believe what you said.
My darling. You're so handsome.
You have reached the voicemail of...
The cell phone has been turned off. Please leave a message...
Why won't you answer it? Call me. Or I'll call you all night.
It's not yellow enough.
Let's wait 30 seconds.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
What is this about? Why did you want to meet me here?
Tell me, I'm curious.
Father.
What I did to you and mom was very bad.
I should've told you before the wedding.
I'm sorry. It was wrong.
Tell me what you did.
So I can decide to beat you or let you off the hook.
Say something, I'm getting impatient.
Sung-ran...
Sung-ran has been married before.
She was married and got divorced.
What?
What? Divorced?
Yes.
And... she has a child.
A son, he's 9.
His father has full custody, and they both live in China.
I'm very, very sorry.
It was all my doing.
Sung-ran thought you knew about this.
I lied to her.
I lied to talk her into marrying me.
She only recently found out that you don't know.
That's why we fought some time ago.
So...
Why are you saying this now? Why?!
Something came up.
The Mr. Park we met at the restaurant...
is Sung-ran's ex-father-in-law.
What?
I'm sorry, father. I'm so sorry.
So you wouldn't have told me if it weren't for him?
I'm sorry.
Let's get this straight.
Sung-ran's a divorcee with a child, and you lied to us all to marry her?
Answer me!
Yes.
My...
My life has been a waste.
Father.
Move.
(My darling)
Father.
Welcome home, sir.
You're late. What time is it now?
Welcome home, sir.
Did you drink?
Shi-wan, did you drink?
Yes, a bit.
You can all go to bed.
- Good night. - Good night.
Let's go.
- Good night. - Good night.
(Mister)
