Be Strong, Geum-soon
I am not lonely, because I have a dream
And I won't give up
He's my son.
Who? Son?
Yes.
From her catholic church.
< Episode 129 > You know they have godsons.
She's his godmother.
He's her godson.
You gave me a shock just now.
I'm going out to eat with your father.
Have a good time.
- See you. - OK.
- Bye. - Bye.
See you later.
Son?
Godson? Godmother?
Why did he switch from nephew to godson when she said it was her son?
- Hello? - Where are you?
I'm just about to leave home.
Sorry I'm late. Where are you?
Let's not go too far.
Nephew? Son from church? Godson?
You were caught off-guard, so I just wanted to help out.
Even then, what kind of mom calls her son a nephew?
How could you? How could you be so cruel?
How dare you. With what right?
You wanted to help out?
Weren't you afraid I would slip up and tell the truth?
Weren't you?
Now that you say so...
How could you tell her like that?
Don't you care about her?
How could you think of dropping a bombshell just like that?
You started it.
I wouldn't have said that if you hadn't said he was my nephew.
It just came out the minute I saw you panic.
I saw you panic and I panicked.
What an excuse. You said that because he's not your son.
You'd never have said that if he were.
You never would've thought of it.
All you could think of was how to stop her from finding out.
True.
I didn't want her to find out like that.
So I tried to make an excuse...
and said he's your godson.
I'm sorry I called him your nephew and godson.
I panicked. I didn't know what to say.
Do you know how I feel?
Jerk.
I apologized.
Sorry, I said the wrong thing.
Ha Sung-ran!
So what are you here to say?
What could a handsome doctor have to say to me?
I have no clue at all.
Ma'am.
Yes?
I'm in love with Geum-soon.
I want to marry her.
What... What did you say?
I want to marry Geum-soon.
This is all too sudden. You want to marry her?
Mister... I mean... did you say you're a doctor?
Sorry, I should introduce myself.
Hello. You're her aunt, right? I'm Goo Jae-hee.
I'm studying to become a surgeon and am in the last stage of internship.
My neck hurts, you can sit.
Yes, sit, sit.
He takes so long to sit.
So you want to marry Geum-soon?
Yes.
Have you been seeing her all along?
I chased her around and we started dating recently.
I proposed to her some time ago.
But she said she doesn't want to get married.
That's why I'm here.
Please help me out. How can I make her change her mind?
Well...
Soon-ja, go and get something cold to drink.
Oh... Right.
Drink up. Let's take our time.
So you proposed to her and she refused?
Yes.
Right. Well, thank you for showing interest in my granddaughter.
But she has such high standards.
Yes, I agree.
But... You look like a bachelor.
You're right.
I am? So you haven't gone there, done that?
Go where...? Oh, I haven't.
And you want to marry Geum-soon?
Yes.
Gosh, this is all just so sudden.
I'm sorry.
No, you don't have to be. So, how did you two meet?
My mother owns the salon she works at.
Gosh.
That salon was huge.
You live with both your parents?
No, just my mother.
So your father passed away?
Any siblings?
No siblings.
- Just me. - Your age?
I'm 30.
Ma'am.
Please help me.
She told me not to come by or even call her anymore.
She still thinks it's her fault her husband died.
That's why she still lives with her in-laws.
But she loves me too.
It's not just me. I know she loves me too.
I'm positive.
I tried to make her change her mind.
But she says I'm ruining her life.
I don't know what else to do.
Ma'am.
Please help me.
How can I make her change her mind?
Please help me.
There's no need to come out.
- OK then. - I'll come by again.
OK. By the way.
Just to be sure.
Do you know she has a child?
Yes, I do.
You do?
Does your mother know too?
Yes, I told her recently.
Everything about Geum-soon?
Yes, of course.
What did she say?
She's not happy.
But don't worry. I can persuade my mother.
I see.
Are you sure you want to marry her?
Yes, ma'am.
Hwee-sung.
Mommy.
Did you have a good time?
Yes.
Where's the friend you fought with?
- At home. - He left?
Too bad. Tada. I bought these for you two.
How tasty.
We're home.
Hwee-sung's home, ma'am.
- Hi, Hwee-sung. - Hi.
You're home early.
I just had training today. Where's Mrs. Sohn?
Out to eat with my dad.
So it's just us having dinner at home, right?
Shall we have something different? Rice with black bean sauce or curry?
Whatever Hwee-sung wants.
When will you stop being angry with me?
What do you want?
- Black bean sauce or curry? - Black bean.
OK, rice with black bean sauce.
Play with your uncle while I cook.
- Look after him for a while. - Come here.
Let's watch a movie.
Hello, Mrs. Oh.
Hi.
It's been a while. How are you?
Good.
Bye.
And she's not an orphan. She's Mrs. Kim's daughter.
From a previous marriage, before she met Dr. Jang.
Is it because of Mrs. Oh? You think she knows?
Yes. Her expression showed she knows.
Hello. You came home early.
Yes.
Try this, it's nice.
Don't you like it here?
I do. It feels like we're on a date.
You should've told me.
I thought we'd have galbi, so I dressed to sit and eat meat.
You dress differently when you eat meat from when you eat sushi?
Of course. The outfit changes with the menu.
My project ends in a month or two.
I'm thinking of quitting then.
We should go on a trip, go hiking, and have a hobby.
We have a life too. We worked hard, so don't we deserve a rest?
Still. It's your new job.
I know, but I shouldn't keep putting off what I want to do.
You don't know what might happen.
I might suddenly become sick or something.
Are you sick?
Nah, don't worry. I just feel empty and lost.
I lived and worked so hard, but I'm not even sure what it was for.
I want to travel with you when I can.
We only have each other. Kids can't do anything for us.
You're acting strange. What's wrong?
Nothing. I'm in my 60s, it's time I feel lost.
I've been feeling that way for a long time now.
So I've been thinking. Stop slaving away for the kids.
Let's let Shi-wan and Sung-ran move out.
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have insisted they move in with us.
Must we wait 6 more months?
We've lived with them long enough. We need some time to ourselves.
You never wanted them to move in. You don't mind, right?
What's wrong? This is all so sudden.
I'm sick of seeing you slave around.
Sung-ran doesn't help with housework. And we can't send Geum-soon away.
Just tell me the truth. Something's wrong, isn't it?
Nothing's wrong. I swear, everything's fine.
No, ma'am. He's not my nephew.
He's my son. He's my son, ma'am.
What shirt should Hwee-sung change into?
There's one with green stripes in the top drawer.
Let's go change.
Green stripes...
I'm at the park.
Let's talk for 30 minutes. I won't bother you again.
I'll wait till you come.
Did you find...?
You're not seeing him?
I'm not.
Then what's that about?
I'm really not seeing him.
Really? Want me to go see him?
And tell him to stay well away from you?
He'll wait till you come. Want me to go?
No. He won't wait for a long time.
I knew it. He's hanging around because he stands a chance.
Tae-wan.
Geum-soon. Didn't you swear on Jung-wan's name?
I really am not seeing him. Why won't you believe me?
- I'm home, granny. - I'm home, mom.
- Welcome home. - Hungry, huh?
Wash up, I'll set the table.
I'll change first.
I thought summer was over, but it's still so hot.
Go home, she won't come out.
And don't you ever bother Geum-soon again.
I warned you.
This is none of your business.
How did you know?
Did Geum-soon send you out?
Don't you get it? Just go home.
Did Geum-soon send you out?!
How else would I know?!
Do you know how cruel you guys are?
How can you force that young girl to stay with you?
When she's a widow. And her husband died years ago!
What the heck is wrong with you people?!
Do you think that makes sense?!
How dare you mention my brother!
If you cherish your life, shut up.
Go home and don't ever show up again.
She doesn't want to see you.
You're a doctor. You can't be dumb enough not to notice.
Scumbag.
I'm letting you live, but not for Geum-soon's sake.
Or yours either.
It's for Jung-wan's.
He hated it when I fought over nothing.
What? Cruel?
Have you ever lost a sibling?
Do you know how it feels to bury your child?!
If you want to live, stay out of my sight.
Hey!
Stop!
Where are you going?!
You jerk!
Stop!
I'm off to the restroom.
(Sung-ran)
Yes, ma'am.
Sung-ran?
Where are you?
At my office.
Really? So you're not with Shi-wan?
That's good. Let's meet up.
Yes... Right now.
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
Don't suffer alone
