Be Strong, Geum-soon
I am not lonely, because I have a dream
And I won't give up
Sorry, but does Na Geum-soon live here?
< Episode 144 >
Yes, she does.
You're her mother-in-law?
Yes, I'm her mother-in-law.
Excuse me for barging in.
I'm Oh Mi-ja.
I own the salon Geum-soon used to work at.
I see...
Nice to meet you. Have a seat.
Thank you.
Bring us something to drink.
Sure.
But...
What business do you have...?
Well...
Do you know Geum-soon is seeing someone?
I'm the mother of the man she's dating.
I don't know... what you're talking about.
You didn't know?
Oh, you didn't.
She's dating someone these days.
She's dating my son.
I know I'm being rude.
But I came by to tell you something.
- Here. - Thank you.
Sir, ma'am.
You seem very shocked.
I know I'm being rude.
But I had no other choice.
As I told you, I own the salon she worked at.
I've always liked Geum-soon and favored her over the other trainees.
Then I found out she'd been seeing my son.
I felt so betrayed.
I tried to talk sense into her. I even yelled at her, but then...
I found this on my son's desk.
I had no choice but to visit you.
So you had no clue at all?
They've been together for some time.
And with your grandson.
We... get your point.
Please leave.
I'd like to hear the truth from Geum-soon firsthand.
Sorry, but please leave.
Sure, I will.
Sorry for barging in so suddenly.
We won't walk you out. Goodbye.
Goodbye.
What a lucky girl.
Her in-laws are very polite.
Why must I stoop so low?
I did the right thing. They should know too.
That'll stop her from seeing Jae-hee.
Yes. I did the right thing.
Geum-soon.
Who is he?
He's...
What happened to your arm? How bad is it? Is it serious?
No, the cast comes off soon. Don't worry.
I'd heard you were hurt, but I didn't know you had a sling.
So there ain't no need to worry?
No, there ain't no...
There's no need to worry.
I wanted to visit you after the cast came off.
But you'd miss me since I promised to come again soon.
You're right. I missed you, I missed you so much.
That's why I risked coming looking like this.
That's it? You didn't miss me?
Well, of course I missed you too.
OK.
- I'm home. - I'm home.
Hi.
Hi, Geum-soon.
You're home. Come on.
He's the man who I mentioned...
Ah...
Who proposed to Geum-soon?
Yes, nice to meet you.
- I'm Goo Jae-hee. - Yes.
Nice to meet you. I'm Geum-soon's uncle.
You hurt your arm.
Yes, I'm sorry.
Don't be. You had a drink and fell over?
Pardon?
Hello. I'm Na Geum-ah, Geum-soon's cousin.
- Hello, I'm Goo Jae-hee. - I'm glad you're here.
I've been dying to meet you.
OK, that's enough.
If you've all said your hellos, sit down around the table.
Her name is Na Geum-soon.
You said that before.
Tell me what she does.
She should be a college student.
But she's not? What does she do then?
- I'll tell her. - No.
I'll tell her.
Geum-soon is a trainee at a salon, working to become a stylist.
She got married early and has a 3-year-old son.
She's married already?
Yes. But shortly after her wedding...
her husband died, so she's single now.
And she still lives with her in-laws.
Eun-jin.
She wasn't very well-off.
No way. You knew that, but you still...?
OK, give me her number.
- Eun-jin. - Give it to me.
How could you...?
But you still asked her...? How...?
- Eun-jin. - Eun-jin.
Go on, have some tea.
Thank you.
I was very upset when I heard you said it was all over.
What happened? You're together again?
- Yes. - Yes.
This is a formal visit.
Please accept my formal bow.
Well, thank you, I like it that you have good manners.
But wait till your arm heals.
Yes, wait till next time. You can't do the bow like that. Sit.
Yes, sit.
Then I'll do the formal bow after the cast comes off.
Mrs. Kim, Mr. Na, Mrs. Ahn.
I want to marry Geum-soon.
Please give me your blessings.
I proposed again and she said yes.
Please say yes.
Well, let's see, did your mother say yes?
Not yet...
But I'm working on it.
OK, OK.
I'm not surprised.
You're her only son. It can't be an easy decision on her part.
I understand.
But I'll make her say yes.
Please trust me.
Well... What YOU want is most important.
What can I say when you've made up your mind.
I'm all for it.
Thank you, Mrs. Kim. Thank you.
- Congratulations. You too, Geum-soon. - Congratulations, Geum-soon.
Thank you, Mr. Na. Thanks.
Geum-soon.
We have some good news too.
Oh, right, we do. We're all so blessed.
Ma'am.
What is it?
It's nothing. Congratulations, Geum-soon.
It's time you got married. Have some fruit.
Your morning sickness has gone away?
Geum-ah's going to have a sibling. Your aunt is pregnant.
Auntie.
Congratulations. Congratulations, sir.
Thank you.
Congratulations, auntie.
Congratulations again.
Thanks.
What's wrong?
Don't feel embarrassed. Isn't it a good thing?
It sure is. The birthrate has been falling continuously.
The government should be commending you.
And at your age too. Congratulations.
- Exactly. - Congratulations, auntie.
Go back inside, granny. We'll be fine.
OK. My goodness...
You poor thing. It must've hurt a lot. You're really OK?
Yes, I am. Don't worry.
I'm glad you're OK.
And...
Thank you.
I can't say anything except... thank you.
No. I should be thanking you, Mrs. Kim.
Thanks to you, I'll have a lovely wife.
Yes. I feel so sorry for your mother, but...
you overcame so much to stay together.
So I hope you can keep strong, OK?
We will. Don't worry.
OK then.
Sung-ran speaking. Hello?
Kyung-min.
No, go on.
What are you doing?
Ma'am.
Didn't you need to buy something?
Yes, but it was late, so I didn't go.
You didn't know either?
No.
I saw him in front of the preschool.
With Geum-soon and Hwee-sung.
I didn't think much of it.
I saw him once too.
A few days ago.
Just down the road. Tae-wan said he knew the guy.
He did?
Yes.
I think it was an excuse to cover it up.
My goodness.
But we can't be sure yet. Not until we ask Geum-soon.
Why can't we be sure? You heard her and saw the photo.
Where do you think they got the money?
There's no way they could earn so much so soon.
And such great timing too.
It can't be...
It can't be? It can't be?
Did you ever imagine Geum-soon would do this to us?
Sir, ma'am, lunch is ready.
I made some tofu stew. You must try to eat.
Honey.
I'm not hungry. You go and eat.
We'll eat later. I'm not hungry either.
But you must eat something.
Ma'am, please...
Didn't I say no?
Do you think I'm putting up with you because I like you?
I said no. Can't you tell I'm more than sick of seeing you?
Shi-wan just can't live without you.
So I'm putting up with you, understand?
Honey.
She just doesn't seem to get it.
Shouldn't she know better than to irritate me?
Sung-ran, I think you should go.
OK.
Then I'll go grocery shopping.
What's up?
- What's all this? - Sit down.
I called you out for a break.
Sounds great.
Did you make these?
No, I bought them.
Fine, I'll make some next time.
Don't just say it.
I mean it.
OK, let's see if you really do it.
Looks good.
It's good, you have some too.
OK. Coffee?
Something's fishy.
You have something to tell me?
No, I came out for some groceries.
Well...
I do have some news.
My ex just called.
So I told him to send Woo-joo over.
You did?
OK.
When will he arrive?
In about...
In about 10 days, I think.
10 days?
So soon?
It is soon, so I told him to put it off.
For as long as he could.
But the most... is about a week.
Really?
We should find a place as soon as possible.
1 0 days...
It's too soon. Can we find a place in time?
We must.
I'll try. I have time.
OK. Start looking tomorrow.
OK.
We're here because you insisted, but don't get him anything expensive.
And don't get him everything he wants, OK? Just get him one toy.
OK.
Over there, Hwee-sung.
Fun, huh?
You got the wrong number.
Hwee-sung.
Do you like cars? Try this.
Turn it on.
You want this?
Hwee-sung.
Let's go look at the cars.
I need to go to the restroom.
OK. Go.
Cars.
Hwee-sung.
Your great-grandmother gave us her approval today.
So call me ''dad'' instead of ''mister.''
''Dad.''
Hwee-sung, I'm going to become your dad.
''Dad.''
Say it just once.
I never had a dad either, so it's awkward for me too.
I practiced all night.
Please? ''Dad.''
Then just say ''da.''
Only lucky kids get to say that word.
When you become older, you'll be glad you have a dad.
Just once. ''Dad.''
I know it's awkward. It is for me too.
Hwee-sung.
I'll go alone from here.
OK.
Mister.
I'm going to tell my in-laws tonight.
The other problem's been solved.
I can't deceive them any longer.
I'll tell them tonight.
You might not be able to reach me for some time.
Don't call me. Wait until I call you.
OK, I'll wait.
But keep your phone on.
OK, I will.
Geum-soon.
What if I go with you...?
No.
I told you before.
You can't.
I have to tell them.
To me...
they're more than just in-laws.
OK then.
Goodbye.
Hwee-sung.
Say goodbye.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
- See you soon. - OK.
- Take care. - OK.
Go. See you.
Geum-soon.
Don't be intimidated.
You'll feel bad of course, but it's not like you're doing something bad.
Come on, smile. You're making me feel terrible.
You have a right to be happy.
Bye.
- Did you have dinner? - Yes.
Tae-wan, sit down over there.
OK.
Honey.
I can't wait any longer. Call her.
- We're home. - Hello.
Sir, ma'am, we're home.
Where have you been?
Where were you?
I was with Hwee-sung.
Where did he get that toy?
What is it? Did you buy it?
No.
Then who bought it? Who?
Ma'am.
Sung-ran, take Hwee-sung to his room.
- Ma'am. - Now!
OK.
Let's go change and play with auntie.
Ma'am.
Ma'am?
What's this?
What is it?!
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
Now I can tell you I love you
