Be Strong, Geum-soon
I am not lonely, because I have a dream
And I won't give up
Sit down.
< Episode 146 >
Thanks.
I'm...
so sorry.
For making Mrs. Oh come here.
And... for making you...
feel so insulted.
I'm sorry.
Ma'am.
I really didn't know about the money.
Please believe me.
And ma'am.
I didn't date him for a long time.
I wouldn't dare...
keep it a secret from you for so long.
I would never do that.
I was really waiting for things to calm down.
So?
What do you want? So what'll you do?
How could you take Hwee-sung to see him?
What on earth were you doing?
If...
If you... would let me, sir, ma'am...
Then...
I want to marry him.
What?
Marry him?
Yes.
Are they in bed?
Are you sleeping?
Why didn't you answer me? I thought you were in bed.
Geum-soon.
Sung-ran.
What happened?
Sung-ran.
I told them.
I couldn't hide it from them any longer.
So I told them.
Told them what?
That I want to get married.
That I want to marry him.
But Sung-ran...
They didn't say anything.
They didn't get angry or yell at me either.
So I'm...
Don't worry.
Tae-wan was right for once.
It's not like you're fooling around.
And you're young.
You should get remarried.
Are you OK? I'm worried sick.
I nearly went crazy when my mom told me she'd been there.
I wanted to run over and apologize, even beg for forgiveness.
But I didn't, for your sake.
I miss you. And I'm worried.
What took you so long? You should've called me at least.
Well?
How is it? Not good? Is it really bad?
How could you even think of going there?
All day I've been trying to rationalize it, but I just can't.
Some things just shouldn't be done.
Don't you even care about those things anymore?
How is your arm?
You just don't care...
Go to bed.
You don't want to?
Good night then.
It's me.
You said you'd keep your phone on. You should be able to read this.
Are you eating well? And breathing well?
I never knew not being able to help could be so painful.
But you're hanging in there, right? You will, for Hwee-sung's sake.
I miss you so much.
Honey.
Honey...
Are you in there?
Shi-wan's in there, sir.
Really? Then where's Mrs. Sohn?
Honey. Honey?
She isn't in your room?
No. That's why I'm looking for her. She's not in.
I didn't see her leave.
When the heck did she get up?
The cell phone has been turned off. Please leave a message after the tone.
Get remarried?
You're sure?
Why are you so shocked? I knew she'd say that.
You think she's the type of girl who would date someone for fun?
You don't know her after living together for 3 years?
You really are shocked.
I'm shocked that you're shocked.
None of you ever thought she'd want to leave someday?
It's not like that.
OK, fine.
Aren't you trying to rationalize the fact that she's still here?
She has nowhere to go.
So you didn't have to try hard to keep her here.
Right? That's why this is a shock.
Forget it then.
I have to do the dishes.
Can you go apartment hunting today?
Of course. Let's leave soon.
Thanks.
- Have you heard? - What?
Geum-soon said she wants to get remarried.
So that's why mom's missing. I wondered what was going on.
- You already knew? - Kind of.
- Since when? - Not for a long time.
How did you find out?
Things happened. Don't ask, it's too complicated.
Do you know his age? Occupation?
Geum-soon calls him ''mister,'' so I don't think he's that young.
About your age maybe?
And he's a doctor.
Was he married before?
I don't think so.
Insane, huh?
Though it would be worse if he were a loser.
Still...
We don't have a choice. Not when Jung-wan's dead.
The poor fool.
The cell phone has been turned off...
You're going out? Lunch is ready.
I'm going out. Call me if my wife calls or comes home.
Yes, sir.
Where are you going? Have some lunch.
- You even skipped breakfast. - No thanks.
See you, sir.
Sir.
Why won't she answer her phone?
She didn't answer 1 0 minutes ago either, did she?
I'm just so worried!
She knows I'd be worried after our last phone conversation.
She'd call unless she was in trouble.
She'll be fine, don't worry.
Geum-soon's been a strong girl all her life.
She put up with her in-laws for her son's sake.
And she took him with her when she delivered health products.
She's been through so much. She can fight through this.
You're right for once, but what made you say that?
It feels so unnatural, you know.
This is how I think of her. I just don't say it out loud.
I mean it, you know.
You've changed for the better. This is good news.
You should think good thoughts. And it will rub off on your baby.
Exactly. I've decided to adopt a positive outlook on life, for my baby.
Really? OK, good idea.
What's with the knitting?
For the baby. Moving my fingers will make it smarter.
We're home.
Hi.
- You're home? - We got everything.
- OK. - Except for the zucchinis.
Thanks. Put everything in the fridge.
OK. Fish is for tomorrow?
Yes.
Here, honey.
Walnuts, almonds, and raisins.
This is too much for me.
What's all this? Snacks?
No, ma'am.
Nuts are good for the mom, and make the baby smarter.
What?
Is that why you went looking for nuts?
Have a few whenever you can.
I bought the best they had. Say ''ah.''
- I can manage. - Come on, say ''ah.''
- Good, huh? - Yes.
Very flavorful.
One more. Say ''ah.''
You two are going too far.
The Na clan is known for our brains, so don't worry!
I'm just worried the baby will take after its mom.
No, for the baby. It mustn't take after her.
I'm quite smart too. I just didn't study hard.
And eating these won't hurt. They're good for you anyway.
Have some. They taste very good.
No.
Have some. They help prevent dementia.
How are you, Mrs. Oh?
Not very well. Jae-hee's cast came off.
I didn't know. How is he?
You really don't know?
He can't become a surgeon this year. Anyone else would sue your family.
But I won't, for the sake of our past friendship.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
If you really are, go talk to Geum-soon.
She came to my place last week.
For my approval.
What do you think?
I know she had a terrible upbringing, but isn't this just too much?
Not only does she have a kid, but she's also going after a guy...
her half-sister dated, however unrelated they may be.
I'd do anything to try to forget the guy...
I told her to date him.
I'm the one who told her that Jae-hee was hurt.
What?
I know how you feel.
Jae-hee's too good for her.
I know that.
But you can't badmouth her to my mom's face.
- You... - I know.
I used to love him. I still think of him.
But what can I do when he says he can't live without her?
How can you say that to me when it's your fault he hurt his wrist?
My goodness, you're all just unbelievable...
- What do you need? - Nothing, miss.
Tae-wan.
Can't you just treat me like before?
Can't you?
You want to get married again. I should watch my manners.
What brings you here?
Hello, I'm here to see Hwee-sung.
Hwee-sung? OK.
Hwee-sung.
It's me. Do you remember me?
Hello.
You do remember me. You do.
You should. We'll be father and son soon.
What?
Oh, my arm's different?
Yes.
My arm is all better now.
Hwee-sung.
How about a bear hug to celebrate?
I couldn't do it last time. How about it?
OK.
Come here.
Say ''dad,'' to celebrate our big day.
OK, take your time.
Who were you playing with?
Friends.
- With friends? - Yes.
Hwee-sung.
- Granny. - Come with me.
Hello.
Uh...
What should I do, just ring the bell?
I can't do anything if I don't know what's going on.
Is it about the money or not?
Oh.
How are you, Mrs. Sohn?
I hope you're all well. I was just passing by.
Then pass by. Let's go.
Wait, please, Mrs. Sohn.
My goodness, Hwee-sung, you've grown since I last saw you.
Let's go.
Wait, Mrs. Sohn.
Mrs. Sohn.
Whatever it is you have to say, I don't want to hear it.
Let's go in.
What's going on?
- No calls? - No.
Where've you been?
Ma'am, welcome home.
Hello.
Where is she?
In the bathroom washing clothes.
Geum-soon, Mrs. Sohn's home.
Hello, ma'am.
Get out of my house.
Leave Hwee-sung and get out.
