Be Strong, Geum-soon
I am not lonely, because I have a dream
And I won't give up
Do you want to get kicked out?
Mister.
< Episode 135 >
- What's the matter? - Kick her out.
What are you doing here? Get out.
No, I...
Get out.
OK, I'm leaving.
You have to lie in bed. And keep your wrist up.
I know what to do. You can go.
Let me do it for you. Get back into bed.
- You should... - Let go.
I know what to do.
Get out. I'll be fine.
Why are you here again?
Mister.
Are you deaf?
It's over. I don't want to see you again.
Wait, let me stay for just 5 minutes.
Please, mister.
5 minutes. Just 5 minutes.
You hurt your hand?
Yes. I did.
How bad is it?
What do you care? Aren't you done with me?
I got hurt badly. Happy now?
Go.
I gave up on you the day you sent your brother-in-law out.
Do you know what I was going to say that day?
I was going to tell you I'd wait.
Until you're done with your in-laws.
Until you become a stylist.
I was going to wait for you.
I was going to say that.
And you send him out instead?
I didn't send him out.
Are you playing games now? Didn't you say you did?
I'm sorry.
You're sorry? For what?
Why are you here? You're worried about me?
You'll leave again when I get better.
Back to the in-laws you love so much.
And if I cling to you, who will you send out next?
Your great father-in-law?
You know what? You're a player.
I got stung really badly.
Go.
I'm not a player, but I'll get over you.
You think you're all that because I fell for you.
Think what you want. Have fun with your son and in-laws.
Get lost.
Now.
You need help?
Granny.
You're getting ready to go?
Stay at home. I'll pick up Hwee-sung today.
I got off early.
No, I'm not feeling down.
I'm just hungry.
Stay at home today, granny.
Bye.
- Are you sick? - No.
Let's go out. I'll treat you.
I don't feel like it.
The less you feel like it, the more you have to try to cheer up.
I don't have the energy to try. You have something to say again?
Do you want to tell me to forgive them?
Isn't it time?
It took me a week to get a grip. It's been a week since you found out.
The more you think about it the more it upsets you.
I guess it's even worse because it was Shi-wan who did it.
But it's too late to split them up now.
That's why I'm kicking them out.
I'll kick you out if you tell me to forgive them.
Did I say I would? Don't forgive them.
Hate them all you want.
Tae-wan is our only son now.
- We're home. - We're home.
- Hwee-sung's home. - Hello. Come here.
Good boy.
You're all I care about now. Take your arm out.
We have Geum-soon too. See?
You're early.
Yes...
OK.
You cook dinner then. I'm too tired to even get up.
Sure. You're still feeling down?
What do you want? Anything special?
No. Nothing will taste good anyway.
I'll get things ready. Lie down.
Did you have fun today?
She has a son?
- She's divorced? - Yes.
Her son is 9 already. I nearly fainted.
- Goodness. - Gosh.
So she and Shi-wan deceived his parents on purpose?
No, not her. It was Shi-wan's doing.
He told her his parents knew just to get married with her.
Gosh.
He did a really terrible thing.
His parents must want to die.
Even MY heart is galloping. They must feel horrible.
I know. I feel so sorry for them.
What a life.
They lost their precious youngest son years ago.
And then their eldest betrays them.
And they can't do anything about it.
I know, exactly.
My heart is racing. I can't even taste the food in my mouth.
My heart's racing so fast too.
Some people are unlucky, but they're beyond that.
You're right. I'm nothing compared to them.
I thought I had it tough, but it was nothing.
Don't even compare yourself to them.
What is it with them and their daughters-in-law?
The one they adored turns out to be a divorcee with a son...
and the one who ruined their youngest son's life...
Go on.
Ruined what? His life?
Go on.
I... Sorry, ma'am. My mistake.
You know she talks nonsense when she gets excited.
Don't you ever say that again, OK?
Have some fish. It tastes good.
Where'd you get these? Mom, have some.
Fish?
Where'd you get it?
My supervisor gave me some.
Why'd she give you such expensive fish?
You know I... I'm a good cook and...
She was impressed.
Ma'am.
Try some. They look and smell great too.
Geum-ah, you too.
- Tastes great. - Yes.
Tastes good, granny.
Have some.
- What's wrong? - I don't know...
The kimchi smell just...
Gastritis?
Maybe. Is it contagious?
I had a snack earlier and I haven't been feeling well since.
Eat up.
It's not a matter of choice. My son needs a place to stay.
Welcome home. Shi-wan's having a shower.
OK.
Wait.
I'm home, ma'am.
Sir.
Why you...
Ma'am.
I have something to tell you both.
What is it?
- Sit down. - Not in my room.
Let's talk in the living room. I think everyone should hear.
What?
Shi-wan. Can't you hurry up?
Yes, father.
We're listening.
So go on. What is it?
What's what?
Go on. Tell us.
Shi-wan wanted to give you some time.
Sung-ran!
I'm sorry.
What? Go on.
It's nothing, father. It's nothing.
Stop it.
But I think... I should tell you, so I will.
So? Go on.
It's about my son.
My ex's business is declining, so he can't look after our son for now.
But my son can't live with his grandparents either.
I'm the only person who can take him in.
So?
So...
I'd like to look after him for a year, if possible.
What?
You...
Say... Say that again. You what?
I'd like to look after my son for a year.
Shi-wan.
Did you agree to this?
Answer me. Did you?
Say something!
No. He said he'd think about it.
Why you...
Unbelievable... I'm at a loss for words.
Take him... Take him in for a year? You want to do that?
I gave him up because my ex wouldn't give me custody.
It's my first chance in 5 years. I can't let it go.
Are you crazy?
No, I'm not.
Sung-ran!
What am I to you?
What are my parents to you? Do you think that little of us?
I just can't understand... I really don't understand you.
I told you...
I'd think about it.
Did I say no? Did I refuse?
No.
So what is this about then?!
This is violence. You think it isn't just because it's not physical?
They just weren't ready for this.
They're still in shock over what they recently found out.
Didn't you think how troubled they'd be?!
I told you it's not a matter of choice!
It's about my son. It's about his welfare.
My son means as much to me as your parents mean to you.
Maybe even more perhaps.
Then why did you marry me?
You should've given me a warning before you did.
You never did.
You never mentioned him.
I never even thought you cared about him so much.
Sometimes I even forget that you have a son.
Why do you insist on looking after him now?
Why give me such a hard time?!
What mom can keep talking about a son she can't even see?!
Jerk. Give you a hard time?
What about you? Did you ever ask about him?
I told you his name and that he's 9.
Did you ask about him even once?
Thanks.
Did you tell Geum-soon about Jae-hee?
No.
Did she come by?
Yes. I saw her in front of his room.
You did?
I'm in bed.
Stop blaming yourself.
He'll be fine.
He told me not to let you blame yourself over it.
He really said that?
How else would I know?
It was you, right? You told Geum-soon, didn't you?
Well done. Thank you.
I'm proud of you for letting him go for me and your mother.
I'm proud of you. Thank you, and I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Eun-joo.
(Geum-soon)
You have reached...
Jae-hee.
I'm in bed. Go home.
Why you...
Who will you send out next?
Your great father-in-law?
You know what? You're a player.
I got stung really badly.
Go.
Have fun with your son and in-laws.
What's this? What's making this racket?
It was this.
What's the time? Why...
What? How dare you call at 4 AM. Call again later.
- Granny. - Huh?
Geum-soon.
Granny.
What's wrong with you?
My goodness.
You're burning up. What's wrong?
I have a cold.
Since yesterday.
Why aren't you at home in bed then?
What's going on?
Granny.
Yes?
Granny.
Can I... date the doctor?
What?
I can't... get over him.
I thought... I'd be OK without him.
The day he proposed, Mrs. Oh slapped me hard.
I came to my senses...
and I thought I could get over him.
I have Hwee-sung...
and loving in-laws who took me in.
I can't even imagine leaving them yet.
And I have to become a stylist too. So I thought I'd be fine.
But granny... I can't go back.
I thought I'd be able to.
But I can't go back to before I met him no matter how hard I try.
