YesAsia Editorial Description

The first drama to be broadcast simultaneously in Korea and China, MBC's daily drama Be Strong, Geum-soon garnered an impressive rating of 30% for more than half a year. Circling around the prevalent theme of family love, this humorous, touching drama revolves around a young widow and her struggles in life. Reflecting on the many contemporary faces of motherhood, the drama takes a poignant look at today's mothers, from a young pregnant widow, to a widowed mother who abandons her child, to a working mother caught in a messy battle with her demanding in-laws. Before stepping into the role of empress So Seo No in Jumong, Han Hye Jin starred as the titular heroine in Be Strong, Geum-soon, playing a levelheaded, young woman whose marital bliss is cut short by her husband's sudden death. Pregnant and without any family support of her own, she lives with her in-laws but is met with insurmountable hardships. Sporting a boorish hairstyle that earned her the nickname of "lettuce head", Han pairs up with Kang Ji Hwan (Capital Scandal) who rose to instant stardom portraying a brash, charismatic young doctor who falls in love with Geum Soon. Touching on various sensitive issues surrounding premarital sex, organ donation, forced early retirement, and the never-ending strife between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, with loads of lighthearted humor and humanism, Be Strong, Geum-soon beautifully demonstrates how one family overcame their differences through the power of love and forgiveness.

Abandoned by her mother at an early age, Geum Soon was raised by her grandmother. After graduating from high school, she becomes pregnant with her first love's child, only to see him get killed in a car accident three days after their wedding, leaving her and their unborn child alone with no one to turn to. After much debate, Geum Soon's in-laws take her into their family. Three years later, Geum Soon still lives with her in-laws, raising her young son while working at Mrs. Oh's beauty salon to pursue her dream of becoming a hair stylist. Romance looms in the air when Mrs. Oh's son Jae Hee (Kang Ji Hwan), a cocky and handsome doctor, sets his eyes on Geum Soon. A chain of circumstantial events lead Jae Hee's mentor Dr. Jang (Jang Yong) to discover that Geum Soon is actually the daughter of his second wife who is now in desperate need of a kidney transplant.

This edition includes a 20 minute long video clip of One Fine Day.

    어렵고 힘든일이 닥쳐도, 쉽게 좌절하거나 원망하지 않고, 언제나 최선을 다해 살아가는 착하고 이쁜 어린 과부 금순을 통해, 희망과 위안을 얻는다. 힘든 세상살이 가족만이 위안이고, 사랑만이 구원이다. 식구란 밥(食)과 입(口)이다. 한 공간에서 함께 미움과 시간을 나누고 밥을 나눈이가 가족이다. 미워도 식구고, 지겨워도 가족이다.

    숙모가 자신에게 할말이 있는 듯 머뭇거리는 것을 본 금순은 편하게 말씀하시라고 한다. 울고 싶은 심정으로 숙모는 계속 주저주저 한다. 금순의 채근에 숙모는 장박사와 영옥에 대해 털어놓는다. 커다란 충격에 멍한 정신으로 병실을 나온 금순은 기계적으로 걷는다. 한편 태완은 메라 테스트 현장에서 너무 긴장한 나머지 실수를 많이 해 떨어진다. 기운없이 집으로 걸어오던 태완은 금아와 마주치고 같이 술을 먹기로 한다.

    Be Strong...Aja...Aja Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
    You will want to tell Geum-Soon, "Aja! Aja!" Seriously... The first volume is good. It was slow, very slow, but that's expected since there are over 100 episodes still coming. The point is, I'm hooked, so I'll be buying the rest of this TV series.

    - English is YA quality. It's always good.
    - 30 minute episodes are more than grand! I love it!
    - Story line is moving. You'll cry, you'll laugh, you'll celebrate!

    So touching...worth watching.. Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
    I had heard a lot about this drama & I didn't think much about it but I started to watch it & yes, it is very good.

    I wasn't a fan of Han Hye Jin, I loved Jumong but I thought her role didn't fit her well. But...in this drama, the role was perfect for her & she is excellent in it.

    This has several of my very favorite actors in it. Kang Ji Hwan, can't watch enough of him. Lee Han, so cute (so different in "No Regret" movie...not recommended to anyone who has closed mind on life style that is not considered "norm"). Loved him in the "Lovers" drama.

    Lee Min Ki is cute, so bratty in this show but quite likeable.

    This is 4 volume series. Normally the DVDs don't come in the half hour dramas but there must have been a lot of request for this in order to have it out on DVD. It is worth buying & watching. I am looking forward to the other 3 volumes.

    Have fun...laugh, cry & enjoy!!!
