Be Strong, Geum-soon
I am not lonely, because I have a dream
And I won't give up
< Episode 142 >
Going to hand in a resume?
Yes. And pop by the salon. What about you?
I'll be at home. Call me when you're done.
Let's take Hwee-sung out to dinner.
Shouldn't you rest? Your wrist...
The cast comes off soon. It's healed already.
I know what I can handle.
OK.
Geum-soon.
I've been thinking.
There is a quick way to make my mom let us get married.
What's that?
We can...
cross the line. Get pregnant first.
It's foolproof.
And it's the trend. All my friends have done it.
- They become dads within 7... - No way, OK?
Why not?
Why not? Are you insane?
We're two young and healthy adults.
Don't say that, even if it's a joke.
OK.
Pretending you're naive.
OK.
OK, OK.
I said OK.
I won't touch you till our honeymoon.
You'll be begging for more then.
Geum-soon.
- Hello. - It's been a while.
Ms. Yoon. Miss.
Geum-soon.
I missed you, Ms. Yoon. You too, miss.
Happy you don't work now, huh?
You're so smiley.
Are YOU happy I don't work now? You're all smiles too.
Ms. Yoon.
Wait in the back room.
I'm sorry I didn't get to say goodbye.
I heard you don't work anymore.
Yes.
I'll get going then.
How is Jae-hee's wrist?
He won't know until the cast comes off.
I see.
OK then. Bye.
Ms. Yoon.
I got you a pair of earrings, to thank you for everything.
They're pretty.
Glad you like them.
- They didn't cost much. - Thank you.
Are you still practicing?
Yes.
I'm running out of wigs, but time flies when I practice.
I'm glad to see you're working hard.
Shall I ask Mrs. Oh to hire you back?
No. I'm looking for another job.
A place that will let me take the final test within the year.
Within the year? Can you master everything by then?
Maybe, if I practice really hard.
I must become a stylist within the year.
You got fired over Jae-hee. Are you still seeing him?
Yes.
That's why I don't have much time. I need Mrs. Oh's approval ASAP.
If you won't give in, I'll run away and get married, OK?
Is that how you want to lose your only son?
- Mrs. Oh. - Hello.
Mrs. Oh.
What? You have something more to say?
Mrs. Oh...
I'm trying to let it go, but you just won't let me.
How could you, Dr. Jang? Jae-hee's hand will be fine?
That's because... I didn't want to make you worry.
It's not because it was Eun-joo's fault?
I thought we had a great friendship. Turns out you ruined my life.
Eun-joo got my son hurt, maybe even his future.
And Geum-soon has turned him into a fool.
- Mrs. Oh. - You can't say that.
I know how distraught you feel...
YOU can't say that, Dr. Jang.
What if Jae-hee does end up disabled?
What if he can't become a surgeon?
That won't happen.
He has a strong will. He'll recover fully.
Would you say such nonsense if he were your son?
What's wrong with you people?
You can't let a daughter go after someone her sister dated.
How dare you ask me to accept that.
Don't you know better?!
You're letting sisters fight over a guy?!
And you want me to accept that?!
Let's talk.
I have nothing to say.
- Take this away. - Sure.
Mom.
Who said you could come in? Get out, I have to change.
You really upset me and let me down today.
Why have you changed so much?
Mom.
Don't you know it's cruel to attack someone's weak spot?
Of course I do. That's why I did it.
What? Why? Why did you do that?
Then you want me to let my son marry a widow who has a kid?
Mom.
You can never persuade me. I will never let this marriage happen.
Your son loves that woman!
I really do.
Go ahead, love her. Did I say you shouldn't?
Let's talk again a year later. Tell me then if you still love her so much.
You make me want to marry her against all costs.
If I don't, she might end up like you, cold-hearted and bitter.
Full of hatred and selfishness.
What?
That's what you're like now!
You've changed so much, I can't believe you're my mom!
You have even more to say?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, mom.
I know I shouldn't, but I just can't help...
I'm sorry.
Mom.
Please give your permission.
I'm begging you, on my knees.
Have you ever seen me kneel?
This is how much I need her.
What can I do to make you see that?
Mom.
Just this once.
Please give in this once.
Or at least tell me what to do.
Tell me how to make you say yes.
I'll do all you want.
Anything other than breaking up with her.
Mom.
Please give your permission.
Please?
I'm sorry I took so long.
Ma'am, lunch is ready.
Get up. Sung-ran made us lunch.
I can't guarantee the taste, but I did the best I could. Try it.
So you're putting up a fight?
I told you to leave. Why won't you?
Not at the table. Let's have lunch first.
Take it away. I can't eat anything you make.
Ma'am.
You heard me! Take it away!
Do you think you can force me into giving up? Get out!
Ma'am.
Are you trying to drive me insane here?
Must you turn me into someone who upsets tables?!
I think you should go. Clean up later.
OK.
Why did you do that? Does it make you feel better?
Honey. Honey.
What now? Get out of my way.
Move! You're the one I hate the most.
- Mom. - I said move.
Mom.
Why do you keep insulting me?
Move out with your wife.
I said do what you want. Why won't you do as I say?
Must I suffer and be insulted in my own home too?!
Poor Mrs. Sohn Jung-shim. Is this the best you could do?
You could've gone to a fancy cafe.
Aren't you hungry?
I'm starving.
You're really not hungry?
Go away. I don't want to talk.
Will kicking them out help? You think you'll feel better?
It'll still feel like hell.
Will not seeing them take away the pain?
I can't sleep at night.
I've lost my appetite too.
But however hard I think, there's just nothing we can do.
How can we split them up when they love each other?
They can't live without each other.
Don't try to talk me into anything.
Honey.
Let her take her son in. It's just for a year.
One of our sons died.
Isn't that the worst betrayal ever? At least Shi-wan's alive.
I know he did a terrible thing.
But Jung-wan died on us.
Shi-wan had never betrayed us before. This was his first time.
It's just that it's hard to swallow.
He should be beaten to a pulp, and then some more.
But it was the first time. So let's forgive him this once.
I...
don't want to lose all our sons this way.
Do you?
We had three sons.
Do you want to be left with one?
How can you cut family ties?
We lost a son, but just thinking of him brings tears to my eyes.
Jung-wan, you fool. I just wish you were alive.
It doesn't matter if you give us lots of trouble.
If only he were alive...
Don't you think?
At least he's still with us. Let's forgive him.
For the first and last time.
Let's pay the price of parenthood and forgive him, OK?
I didn't want to talk about him, but this is killing you and Shi-wan.
I couldn't just sit and watch.
I miss Jung-wan so much these days.
It makes me want to forgive Shi-wan.
Maybe it's because it's autumn.
I miss Jung-wan so much.
Take 3.
Ready, action.
Cut.
Let's do it again. Standby.
Standby.
Take 4.
Ready, action.
Thank you.
Have some tea.
Here.
Thank you.
For handing over such a huge amount of money.
I don't mind. It's for Geum-soon. I'm glad I can help.
Like I said before, I'll tell Sang-do to pay you back.
I'd pay you back right now if I could, but I can't.
I don't mind.
I can very well guess all he did for Geum-soon all throughout her life.
I've always wanted to return the favor.
I'm so happy I finally got the chance.
Anyway I'll get him to pay you back.
Ma'am.
Have you forgiven me?
Please forgive me.
I told you I don't deserve to forgive you.
I can't, not when I'm asking for your help.
Don't say that.
You brought her up, I need your forgiveness.
I have so much to apologize for.
I owe you so much too.
Geum-soon grew up to be such a pretty, honest, and hardworking lady.
Thank you.
Thanks again. I should get going. Bye.
Bye.
I'll come and visit you soon.
Mrs. Ahn.
Your prenatal diary.
What bad timing. What bad luck...
Bad luck?
Gosh. You nearly made me miscarry.
Miscarry?
You should make some noise. Why are you so early?
Bye.
- Bye. Bye. - Say goodbye.
- Bye. - See you tomorrow.
- Goodbye. - Bye.
Hello. We meet again.
Yes.
You're quite handsome.
Yes.
Remember me?
Yes.
I knew you would.
You're worried about my arm?
He's shy.
Hwee-sung.
Shall we go and have dinner?
He wants to buy you something nice.
Yes or no?
You can say no if you want. No?
- You want to go? - Yes.
See? I told you he'd like it.
Let's go.
Do you like it here?
Yes.
You have great taste, unlike your mom.
That's good.
Hey.
Yes?
You sing and take pictures, right?
- Yes. - Do that.
- And... - It has to be an anniversary.
- Like a birthday... - Hey.
Any day worth celebrating is an anniversary.
Does it have to be a birthday?
Do it. Today is a very special day for us.
- OK? - Yes, sir.
Congratulations on your special day
We're all happy for you
You look wonderful together
Celebrate, today is your special day
Congratulations
You have found each other
We're home.
Tae-wan.
Go on in. I have to talk to your mommy.
Good boy.
Where've you been with Hwee-sung?
Are you going on dates with Hwee-sung too?
I thought about it.
Whatever you do is none of my business.
I can't stop you. Jung-wan's dead.
The poor guy.
Do whatever you want. Go ahead. Date him, marry him, whatever.
Just get out of our house first.
You got that? Get out as soon as possible. Move out.
Say yes.
You won't say yes?
Say yes! Get out of our house!
You jerk. What the heck are you doing?!
I'm happiest when I'm walking with you
I want to keep you with me always
Now I can tell you I love you
I love you
I'm happiest when I'm walking with you
I want to keep you with me always
