Be Strong, Geum-soon
I am not lonely, because I have a dream
And I won't give up
And...
< Episode 134 > I want to do this.
He needs a place to stay.
He can't stay with his grandparents or his father.
I understand how you feel.
I do.
I understand, but...
Let's think about it.
Let's think.
What can I say right now?
The trouble with my mom is driving me crazy already.
Let's think.
Let's go.
What now?
Let's talk.
Let me ask you.
I didn't think it would happen so soon either.
But didn't you think something like this would happen someday?
You knew I have a son. Didn't it cross your mind?
No. It didn't actually.
Your son's with his dad in Beijing.
You haven't seen him for years.
On top of that...
you never talked about him.
I sometimes even forget you have a son.
But I asked you about caring for him for a month.
You must've thought about it.
My mom freaked out that evening. You think I had the time to?
And caring for him for a year is not like caring for him for a month.
I know. That's why I'm asking you.
He could stay with his grandfather if it were for a month.
But it just became a year.
I should take him in, I'm his mom.
Of course, I need your consent.
What, you want me to decide now?
No, I want you to think very hard.
And let me know ASAP.
I said I would.
And let's tell your parents.
What?
We have to get their permission too.
No way.
Then what?
Wait until your mother calms down...
and then put her through this all over again?
We have no choice.
Shi-wan. I told you...
I'd rather be punched in the face once than be poked in the side many times.
The less shocks, the better, OK?
Every person has a different threshold.
Do you think my parents are as cool and logical as you are?
They're just very average parents.
They can't even get over the fact that you're a divorcee.
And you want to tell them you'll look after him?
No way.
At least not now.
Why are you always like this?
Putting it off won't help.
This is how I do things! So do as I say!
Must I yell to get through to you?
Not now.
Let's go.
Noh Shi-wan. You're no different.
(No visitors)
Jae-hee.
Are you in there?
Open up.
Excuse me. Is Goo Jae-hee in his room?
The door is locked and he won't answer.
It's locked? Then he's inside.
Really?
- Thanks. - Sure.
Jae-hee.
Why is the door locked?
Open up.
Jae-hee.
I'll get someone to open the door.
Why is it locked?
Jae-hee.
I'm coming in.
Jae-hee.
Leave me alone.
Go.
What's wrong with you?
Do you really not know what's wrong?
You got what you wanted.
So leave me alone.
OK?
Don't visit me.
I'll be home soon.
Go about your business.
Go.
Jae-hee.
You haven't showered. Let me wash your hands and face, OK?
No thanks.
Don't bother me. I don't know what I might do.
See you tomorrow.
You had a nice day?
- See you tomorrow. - Mommy.
Did you have a good time?
Yes.
Let's go to see the doctor.
The doctor? What doctor?
What do you think? What doctor would I take you to?
Oh.
I'm fine. It's just gastritis.
Why you... You really won't give in, huh?
Tell me the truth. What happened that day?
Come on, I'm dying to know too.
Why you...
- Let's go. - Mom...
- Come with me. - OK, OK.
I'll tell you.
Go on.
Good.
Actually...
Nothing happened.
We were too drunk. We just fell asleep separately.
My goodness, thank heavens.
Why did you lie, you fool?
Do you know how worried I've been?
- Why did you lie? - Mom, it hurts.
Go on, you're doing well.
- Beat her up. - Mom.
You deserve this. I was worried too.
- Mom. - I was scared for you.
- I'm sorry, mom. - Beat her up.
- I'm sorry, granny. - You witch.
I'm sorry.
Here.
So who is the dream about?
It's not Geum-soon?
I'm just asking to be sure.
Could it be you?
Goodness.
It's not impossible, you know.
Don't you even say that.
I'm too old for that. You just made me shudder.
What's wrong?
You two got things going, regardless of your old mother-in-law.
It's only natural, isn't it?
Many older couples have babies these days.
Stop saying that.
Who is it?
- Hello. - Hi.
Hello, ma'am.
How dare you keep coming here.
It's my third visit. Let me come in.
What for? I'm done with you, so go.
Ma'am.
Have you lost your hearing?
How dare you come in and sit down.
Geum-soon told me to beg for your forgiveness.
Only then will she meet me.
Ma'am.
Please let me have a closer relationship with her.
Please forgive me.
Our ties with you were broken the day you left to return to your home.
I don't care why you're here or what you want from me now.
I won't look at your evil face or listen to your nasty voice.
So get lost. Go!
Ma'am. Please forgive me.
Please forgive me, for Geum-soon's sake.
That would make you feel better, huh?
You took a kidney from the baby you abandoned. I bet you feel bad.
But I don't care.
Whatever Geum-soon said has nothing to do with me, so go!
Ma'am.
My mother came to visit some time after my marriage.
If only you hadn't screamed that it was all my fault...
then maybe I wouldn't have run away.
And my parents wouldn't have stopped me from coming back.
I blame you for what happened too.
Did you have to be so cruel?
What's your point? You left because of me?
No. That's not what I mean.
Ma'am.
Please forgive me.
Let me make it up to you and Geum-soon.
If you don't, then that'll make me...
a monster who took a kidney from a child I never brought up.
You thought you weren't then?
You ARE a monster.
Go!
Young-ok.
Take this back. I can't accept it.
I haven't spent a penny.
No. Half of it is for you.
I shouldn't have accepted it. Now you're well again.
Give it to Geum-soon.
Take it.
I just can't keep it.
Mrs. Kim's getting less angry by the day. Come again soon.
Sure. I will.
Take this at least.
Some fish.
Take it. It's food.
Mrs. Kim won't be happy. But food gifts shouldn't be rejected.
Ma'am.
What's going on?
I packed their suitcase.
Jeez... I was wondering where you'd gone.
Am I overreacting? Can't you see why I can't stand them?
They'll move out when they can. Let them stay till then.
I told them they could do so already.
But I can't stand them. It's driving me insane.
Especially Sung-ran. I just can't bear being around her.
We're home.
I packed a suitcase. Take it and go.
Your father said you can stay for now, but I can't accept that.
I can't stand you anymore.
Why should I suffer in my own home?
If you care for me even one bit...
- Get out. - Mom.
No complaining! Get out of the house!
Ma'am.
Are you upset because we kept the truth from you...
or because I have a son from a previous marriage?
Why you... What should I...? What... What do you mean?
If it's the latter, then...
Sung-ran.
You don't know when to stop, do you?
You're going too far.
Keep quiet.
You keep quiet.
Shut up! How dare you.
What do you think you're doing?!
Sung-ran...
How dare you even...
think of asking her such a question.
What's wrong with you? You think those issues can be separated?
Father.
What do you take her for? Are you trying to lecture her?
- No, sir. I... - Be quiet!
You should be down on your knees begging for forgiveness.
And you're asking why she's upset?
You fools.
Geum-soon.
Wake up, Geum-soon.
Sung-ran.
Are you sick?
You're burning up. And you look flushed.
I'm fine, I took some medicine.
You're not fine. You were groaning.
It's the air conditioning at work.
Pour me some water, please.
Why is your pillow so wet?
Were you crying?
No.
Well, yes.
Are you OK?
Yes. I'm used to it.
I guess you don't know.
Divorces are seldom uneventful.
You go to hell and back at least once.
You'll get to see me drop another bombshell tomorrow.
My pretending to be good isn't working at all.
Will you be alright?
I'll be fine. But what about you?
Mrs. Sohn's temper is getting worse.
It's nice to have someone cry for me.
What a baby.
Your big teary eyes and that scared look.
Don't guys just fall for you? I would if I were a guy.
Sung-ran...
- Hye-mi, massage. - Sure.
We're done. You can go over there now.
Geum-soon, wash her hair.
Sure.
OK. We're done.
- You can go over there now. - OK.
You're sick?
I'm OK. It's just a fever.
Do you love Jae-hee?
Was that an obvious question?
It's over.
You don't seem to believe me. It's really over.
Do you know he's hurt?
How? How much?
His right wrist.
How much?
I'm not sure, but it might be bad.
He might not be able to become a surgeon.
He could be fine if things go well.
How is he?
I don't know. I guess he's not too happy.
Pay him a visit.
I won't wish you good luck or tell you to rush over.
That would be hypocritical.
But I can tell you this.
I'll be going out with Mrs. Oh soon.
She won't visit Jae-hee until this evening.
Room 1510.
He might not be able to become a surgeon.
Mister.
Get out.
Mister.
You heard me. Why'd you come here?
Get out.
Dr. Kim. There's a trespasser.
Take her out.
Do you want to get kicked out?
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
