Re: K-drama: 굳세어라 금순아 (Be Strong, Geum-soon)


from the MBC english webpage:

Be Strong, Geum-Soon!

This is a story of a young widow, Geum-Soon, who never becomes discouraged or blames other people - no matter what happens in her life. The viewers will get both hope and comfort by watching her do her best in everything she does.
It is also a story of a family who loves and takes care of each other. You can always turn to your family and their love gives you the hope to get through the tough times. Sometimes, they seem to make your life more difficult, but they will always stand up for you and love you whatever you do.

Na, Geum-Soon (Acted by Han, Hye-Jin)
Her father died and her mother left when she was young. She was raised by her grandmother. She was a mature and thoughtful child. Even when she was lonely and sad, she pretended that everything was fine because she didn't want to worry her grandmother. Her dream is to become a hairdresser and then create a total beauty line like Vidal Sasson or Babilyss, with her name on it. However, she had to postpone her dream when she got pregnant and married Jeong-wan. Her husband was a college student and her parents were reluctant to have her as their daughter-in-law. One day, her husband died in an accident. She gave a birth to a boy after her husband died. She decided to raise her child by herself, just as her grandmother raised her.

Na, Geum-Ah (Acted by Choi, Ja-Hye)
She's Geum-Soon's cousin. She's always quiet and does what she's supposed to do. She went to college to become a teacher like her mother has always wanted, but she doesn't want to be a teacher at all. She secretly takes acting classes, and meanwhile pretends to be a perfect daughter at home. She likes Tae-Wan. In fact, she might want to be an actor just because she wants to be closer to him. Later, both her family and his find out about their relationship, and her mother closely watches her every move. Since she can't see Tae-wan any more, her feelings towards him get even stronger.

Goo, Jae-hee (Acted by Kang-, Ji-Hwan)
He's a good-looking and skilled surgeon. He seems to have it all. He's the nicest man to his patients, but to others he comes across as very arrogant. He's very competitive. Every time he runs into Geum-Soon, there is a problem. After feeling guilty about breaking Geum-Soon's scooter, he helps her get a job in a beauty shop. The more he gets to know Geum-Soon, the more he likes her. She's far from the type of woman he's been looking for, but he's slowly falling for her. However, after he learns that she's a widow with a child, he tries to keep his distance. Later, he realizes that he truly loves her just the way she is and decides to embrace her painful past.

Noh, Tae-Wan (Acted by Lee, Min-Ki)
He's very good-looking. He dreams of becoming a famous model one day. He never forgets to work out in the fitness club, and buys himself nice clothes even though he doesn't have money for food. He doesn't make any money for the moment. He doesn't mean to cause trouble in the family, but he always does. He's not sure if it's out of pity or love, but he cares for Geum-Soon. However, he just stands by her and quietly helps her out. He often visits Geum-Soon at her work, so some people think he's her boyfriend. Later, he falls for Eun-Ju who is the manager of the beauty shop where Geum-Soon is working. A beautiful woman with money like Eun-ju is his exact type.


I wonder how accurate this will turn out...

Re: K-drama: 굳세어라 금순아 (Be Strong, Geum-soon)


SandyP (purpletiger86) is translating selected scenes thus far from the series!

Her first translations was for the conversation scene b/w Geum-soon and Tae-hwan in and outside the car from ep 40...this scene had me in tears:

classrevealImageclassspoilerTH: Who is that? Who is he [Jae-hee] and why does he keep talking to you in an unmannerful way?
GS: You talk to me unmannerfully (?) too.
TH: You think i'm joking right now? Take care of yourself well. Why do you have those kind of people treat you like that?
GS: How can you say it like that. I tell him not to do it, but he keeps doing it. Like you. If I tell you not to talk to me like that, you still do it. Why don't you try to fix it first.
TH: And also...why didn't you tell him who i was? Perhaps...do you like that dude?
GS: What?
TH: Than why can't you tell him who i am?
GS: That is...because the people at the hair salon doesn't know that I'm a mother with a baby yet. That is why.
TH: That is what I mean. Why are you hiding it from everyone?
GS: It's because I don't want to get fired. Because of my age, i barely got into this job. I told my designer teacher, but she also said that i should not say anything for awhile.
TH: Are you sure? Is that all?
GS: Of course that's all...is there suppose to be more to it? What are you thinking right now?!?!
TH: Get in. Get in the front. I still have some things to say. Hurry and get it.
GS: I don't think i can sit there...because it reminds me of oppah [her husband]. Oppah left the world from sitting in that seat. I'll just sit in the back. That's okay, right? I know what you are thinking about right now...but you don't have to worry about it. I only think about ways in taking care of HweeSung [her son] very well. Not having a father, i really really have to take care of Hweesung really well. That's the only thing i think about. But how can i think about other things...i've never imagined it. Looking at that seat, my heart still shakes. TaeHwan, you still hate me huh?
TH: Yah, of course.
GS: Right, of course. So than why would i think about other things. So don't worry about things that don't make any sense.


anyways, I'm requesting SandyP to go back and translate certain scenes from previous epis, so expect more to come in the future =)

Re: K-drama: 굳세어라 금순아 (Be Strong, Geum-soon)


from ep 17, Geum-soon's 1st impression/meeting of Jae-hee at the hospital:
classrevealImageclassspoilerJH: These human beings that have no moral sense.
GS: What?!?!
JH: What are you guys waiting for? Who told you to let these worthless fly-like solicitors come into the hospital rooms?!? Take her out.
D1: Get out, hurry.
GS: Wait.
D1: I told you to get out.
GS: Wait, hold on. I'm going...i said i'm going. Wait...hey, what are you doing...ah.
D2: Hurry and go. And don't come back again.
JH: Listen to me grandma. Your gas (fart) needs to come out before you can eat or get well fast.
GS: I'm not a fly, i am a human! Are you a fly? Ah~is that why you see a human being as a fly? How can you say something like that. People with no moral sense are flies?!?!
JH: I said we are both a human.
GS: I did not try to sell these health drinks. These stuff in my bag are samplers. I came to share it for free, not trying to sell them.
JH: Nonsense!
GS: What?!?
JH: Why are you sharing it? Aren't you trying have people try it so that they will buy it? Didn't you come to persuade them to buy them! (something like that)
GS: I can't say that it's totally incorrect.
JH: Ah~wait. Why am I talking about this stuff at this precious time. Hey you...it's still forbidden for solicitors to come here and sell stuff. Hurry and get out. Get out before i call security.
GS: I'm going to go! I'm going to go even if you beg for me to stay, but stop saying that i'm a solicitor. Do you know how awful it feels to be called a solicitor? And you! It's wrong to do something like this to something you eat. So what if you earn a lot of money? Before coming a doctor, become a human being first!
JH: What?!? Hey. Stop there, you. Hey! Stop there!
