[Audition to make Suk Ran into a music capital]
Use an orchestra performance to make Suk Ran into a music capital.
A special item costing three billion won.
Isn't it dead yet?
What happened?
I got scammed.
I had no money to pay the orchestra members so they all left.
So I invited amateurs players to join us too and eventually...
What do you think classical music is about?
I think it's dog poo.
I'm Kim Gab Yong.
You're acting so weird, do the others know about it too?
I'm not an ahjumma, call me Jung Hee Yun.
Which cabaret do you play at?
Pukwang-Dong's Don't Tell Papa.
Flute, how old are you?
I went to music college.
I could tell straight away you were sharp, who are you trying to kid?
You're using too much strength bowing.
You play electric violins, don't you?
That part of the music,
Crash, bang, bang, boom!
That's so exciting.
Befitting of your level, everyone!
This bastard!
Who are you to chastise me?
How dare you act so atrocious in front of me?
Do you know what society calls people like you?
Targets for relief,
burdens,
stumbling blocks...
many such names.
But I think the most suitable among them is,
A...
piece...
of...
dung.
Episode 3
They are all good people.
Jung Myung Hwan...
The path I chose, the path I walk... He stands right in front of me, full of himself...
You can gently lead them, coaxing them.
I must lead the orchestra in front of that guy,
and use those people?
Isn't this ridiculous?
Don't you know the saying, "It's easier to lead with a carrot than with a stick"?
I don't know!
I am usually not even satisfied with the professional musicians.
Now you want me to lead those people on stage?
Isn't this ridiculous?
Won't happy practices lead to a good performance?
Listen to my words carefully!
In front of that fool, who spent his time playing around and effortlessly became a renowned conductor,
you want me to lead a bunch of trash?
It is because of YOU!
Trash, you say?
Just one week,
since I’ve already made up my mind. We're not practicing for nothing.
If there are no improvements during the week, we'll give up.
I'll explain to the mayor.
Practice harder if you don't want to get kicked out.
You think you're any better than them?
I... I think I’d better just leave.
Ahjumma...
Madam Jung Hee Yun, if you leave now,
you will really become dung.
You must continue playing the cello to prove to Conductor Kang you can.
Yes, but,
it isn't as if our skills can be improved within a day or two.
I closed the clinic at six o'clock every day to practice.
It's ridiculous that you give up when we haven't started yet.
But he is really scary.
How can there be a conductor like him?
He might become violent with us in the future.
According to rumors, he used to stab the thumb of those who didn't play well with a needle.
Those are all rumors.
That's why I'm asking if you can please hold on for a few more days?
I am embarrassed to face Gun Woo.
I've had enough of living in fear of my husband finding out about this.
The conductor is right. I'm a burden.
And also, this is too scary.
I came here to release stress, but instead, I've become even more stressed out.
I think I’d better leave.
I am sorry, Du Ru Mi.
I am going now.
Ahjumma...
Madam Jung Hee Yun.
Again.
Nobody, including the organizer, knows what they're doing. What can you amount to?
Practice from the do re mi.
From the basics, 100 times.
String instruments pass, the cello pass, pass, pass, pass.
We haven't got much left.
You practiced here the whole day, and you can't even play a short piece like this well?
Do you feel good?
Killing us one by one...
I am asking if you feel satisfied.
It is just okay.
If there are any changes after I kill, I'm willing to kill 100 times.
But everything's the same.
I'm just wasting energy and effort.
We feel the exact same way.
A conductor who won't explain our mistakes
is wasting our time as well.
Do you talk to your trumpet while performing?
First piston, can I press you?
Third piston, how do you feel about that?
Asking, teaching, explaining... doing all that and performing at the same time?
What are you talking about? Please speak so we can understand you.
You people all are just my instruments.
The orchestra is the instrument I play!
You people are just pieces of that larger instrument.
Old instrument, young instrument.
A "running out crying" dung instrument.
A working instrument, cabaret instrument.
Defiant instrument.
We are humans.
No! You people are dogs, and I am your master!
So shut your mouths and practice according to what I say!
You say we are dogs?
So you haven't been bitten hard by dogs before?
No.
There was one who bit me and refused to let go.
I kicked it away
and stomped on it a few times.
Gun Woo...
Don't care about what he says.
Just bear with it.
Why did you play the notes so badly?
It was only a few notes, and you can't play them accurately?
I...
Because Conductor Kang was next to me going on and on...
Everyone's like this.
We can't perform well because we fear him too much.
It's troubling.
If this continues, nothing will get done.
You've heard of *Mazinger Z (*Animated Japanese robot hero)
Iron arms, iron legs.
You all are no different.
These iron legs are cruel.
And these flailing arms too... Do you make music with brute strength?
With a chunk of lard, do you make music in the kitchen?
You can laugh? I want to laugh.
You people are dogs, and I am your master.
When I tell you to bark, you bark!
We already don't have enough time. What is this?
It's because of Conductor Kang.
We are so afraid of him, we can't perform to the best of our ability.
So stick a fake up in front and play around?
Is our performance some psychological drama?
Is this something that can be solved with psychology?
We're finally having fun. What is wrong with you, Ahjussi?
Who was it who didn't make a sound when Conductor Kang was around?
I am your elder.
You think you can speak however you like and expect everyone to think it's cute?
That's it. That's the attitude.
It's exactly like Conductor Kang. You be Conductor Kang, Senior.
What? You...
Oh, how can you say that?
I'm much more charismatic than that bland person over there.
I've really been wanting to ask,
why do you wear those clothes?
With all the effort you make ironing those clothes,
you could be practicing the trumpet more.
You're not performing with your fashion sense.
What people wear while they practice,
whether it be pajamas or a bikini...
Is it any of your business?
So please don't butt into this.
Hyung, this is a bit childish.
Pretend that Senior is Conductor Kang.
Can't you be a bit more confident, a bit more charismatic?
I say we should practice.
We've been practicing at home, giving it our all.
Very good. Good! But you need a little bit more.
Say "Already practiced hard at home... " while being a bit more relaxed.
I already practiced hard at home. As for the parts needing improvement,
it would be a great help, if you could tell me what they are.
If you can, please tell me loudly and clearly.
Please perform.
I will correct you.
Yes.
Now you should know why I didn't tell you.
Yes.
I'm sorry. Sorry.
I am also like that?
Noona, you've gotten used to the electric violin, so you have the tendency to go solo.
But everyone has the same problem.
Don't only listen to your own instrument; you must also listen to the others.
Harmony. Harmony.
Am I right, Teacher?
That's right.
Let's try it out.
Give a signal.
Yes.
Here... One, two, three, four!
You people!
It's midnight.
What are you guys trying to do by staying here until midnight?
You've got to let me rest, okay?
You guys are too much.
You look like a steel man.
What is this, this, this?
You are so stiff, your arms should break off.
Don't tell me I need to be up there.
Even though this is a practice, work on your posture. What is that?
Loosen up that conducting arm.
Pretend it's a bird flying by,
and relax your facial expression.
These are all in English.
What are you doing at my bookshelf?
I can't sleep, so...
I hid something here last time.
If you have insomnia,
you can have these.
I don't need them.
Take them away.
Vienna Phil...
Yes.
The next one.
Mendelssohn.
Yes.
Dvorak.
Yes?
Hi, Grandpa, I'm Ha Yi Deun.
I have something to discuss with you.
Can you open the door, please?
The truth is...
I wanted to tell the truth from the start, but
I don't have anyone I can truly trust around me.
Because you treat me very well, Grandpa, I wanted to discuss this with you.
The truth is, my family is troubled financially.
We don't have a house.
We're currently living in a rented room at an old folks home.
My mum used to work part-time at a restaurant,
but she's bedridden with diabetes now.
My dad goes to work, but his legs don't work well.
I've so many things to worry about that I'm unable even to cry.
So?
What do you want me to do?
It's just that...
I was wondering if I should quit school.
You don't need any money?
If you could do that, I would be totally grateful!
You mentioned it first. This is too good!
If you could lend me 200,000 Won...
I have no intention of lending you anything.
I just wanted to test your real motive.
But Grandpa...
I'm always afraid.
You're probably nervous too, but so am I.
I know how you feel,
and I know what you're going through.
I keep telling myself I need to pretend nothing is wrong,
but if you're even a little late to practice,
I wonder if you've fallen or passed out somewhere.
I wonder if I should tell people so they're aware.
Go ahead, tell.
Grandpa, didn't you say you wanted me to keep it secret?
Tell them!
Say I used to be in the Seoul Orchestra and was kicked out due to Alzheimer's.
Say it. It'd be better than having some flighty girl blackmailing me for money.
Why are you getting so angry all of out of a sudden?
Also, I am not suffering from Alzheimer's yet.
Who do you think you are,
impertinently threatening someone who isn't sick?
You eagerly took the money I offered last time.
I should have seen you as you are: an ignorant, uneducated little brat.
Brat?
Wow, you really know how to make someone mad!
Who brought up the topic of money?
It was you.
Also, did I ask for a thousand, or ten thousand?
It was only 200,000 Won,
and I wouldn't take it, only borrow it.
But you make it such...
Get out, you little brat!
Get out!
Totally arrogant to the core...
I see that you are definitely suffering from Alzheimer's.
I think you are the only one who doesn't know.
So what should we do?
Do I need to get you to the hospital?
Maestro Kang specified this tempo, how can we change it?
The tempo should be set by the conductor, no doubt.
But there's only us here right now.
What else can we do?
Just do as you deem fit.
Then let's play it slightly faster.
The harmony has improved.
The accuracy has also improved,
but why is it so fast?
Are you doing a waltz?
Look at the conducting baton carefully, slowly.
Again.
Stop, Stop!
What is wrong?
Don't you guys see the conductor's baton?
So you're saying the tempo you want is
this tempo, right? - Use your ears and listen.
Look at my hands. Why rely on old fashion clapping?
Yong Gi said he doesn't quite understand.
This is the tempo.
Like this, right?
Much slower than that.
Like this.
Like this, hyung, this tempo.
Now you understand, right?
Okay. Let's do this again.
The atmosphere got better, but now it is ruined again.
The effort we put in was rejected.
He is not a conductor. He is an enemy.
But Conductor Kang mentioned that we did improve,
all thanks to you.
It wasn't me.
It's all because of what you taught me, Teacher.
But be careful.
We'll be in trouble if Conductor Kang finds out we've been practicing with you conducting.
Do we have to be so cautious even when we practice?
About conducting...
Didn't you see it just now?
Everyone got used to his conducting and can't follow Conductor Kang.
That's why when we practice next time, use the tempo Conductor Kang set.
Truthfully, Conductor Kang hasn't done much and we're still so worried about him.
You can't think that way, even if it's true.
Yes, matching the tempo is an issue,
but when another person is at the podium,
it is a matter of the conductor's pride.
What is Maestro?
General, President, Maestro.
They are, respectively, man's greatest aspirations.
It's that prominent a position.
That's why you can't let him suspect anything.
Be careful.
Yes.
Are the leader and teacher having an important conversation?
It's been only three minutes.
We will start first. Prepare.
Ha Yi Deun, come out here now!
You... This girl!
How dare you quit school?
- Who am I dragging my rotten leg to work every day for? - Father, please.
Let's go out to talk.
Go outside.
Go outside!
I heard you threatened an elderly man!
Are you a gangster?
Who said that? Who did you hear that from?
Someone called me because of what you did!
Why did you quit school?
Is it because you tasted music?
Don't you know I worked so hard every day?!
You!
We'll talk when we get outside.
Did you get our daughter to quit school,
and do this part-time?
Did you?!
It is not like that.
Father, please, we’ll talk when we get outside.
What is wrong with you?!
My daughter was doing fine in school and even picked up the flute.
Why did she suddenly quit school and start working here?!
I am also curious.
Why is your daughter still standing here,
and, also, why are you shouting at me
and making me feel uncomfortable?
Did I give birth to her?
She is too superficial to be my daughter.
This is not right.
She is your daughter, right?
Anyway, I don't feel good about her either.
Her level is just average, and she is always doing something else.
She's constantly text messaging, and all she knows is "Ding, the end of practice".
I'm always curious what kind of parents would raise a daughter like that.
Now I know.
Like father, like daughter.
She is exactly like you, so you should be proud.
Hey, who the hell are you to speak to my dad like that?
Apologize to him right now.
Did you see that?
She's speaking to an elder without the use of formalities. Shouting. This is your daughter.
What did you teach your daughter?
Hey!
You come outside.
Didn't you hear what he said?
He said such things about you!
You jerk.
You think it's a big deal that you're a conductor? How dare you?
You come outside!
Honey.
What is wrong with you, Father?
Don't you have any temper?
First you tell me why you quit school.
You can't win an argument with that guy,
so why did you come barging in? I'm so embarrassed!
Yi Deun, how can you speak to your father like this?
You ask me why I quit school.
Don't you know why already?
Your business is losing money.
We don't have a house and are only renting a room at an old folks' home!
With all this, I'm supposed to go to school?
Play the flute?
Are you joking?
Because you are talented, if you attend classes...
You can't even pay my school fees, so how do you expect me to attend school?!
That's why I lied.
Because I don't want to see you struggle like that.
So I lied and told you it was 500,000 Won.
But it was over 1000,000 Won.
Even if I drop the extra lessons,
base tuition is 500 thousand Won, and on top of that, each class is 120,000 Won.
I went to school hungry every day.
You know that?!
Who called you?!
Let's go to the school.
You will be able to get back in.
The process has been finalized.
Did you get her parents here?
No. I just gave them a call.
We don't have a house.
We're currently living in a rented room in an old folks' home.
My mum used to work part-time at a restaurant,
but she's bedridden with diabetes now.
My dad goes to work, but his legs don't work well.
Yi Deun, at least finish high school, please.
Let's go. Go to the school before the teachers get off work.
Whether we have to kneel and plead, or borrow money...
I am not going!
Go.
No!
This child.
Honey.
Am I quitting here as well?
No.
It's not that I am quitting.
Someone, who is exactly like Conductor Kang, chased me away.
That's why you have to give me the 18 thousand as promised.
I am sorry, but I can't give it to you.
You guys are ganging up on me, right?
Even though it's you guys ending the contract.
Give me the money.
What are the details of the contract?
To be committed during practice.
But all you did was to text message,
and you missed most of the extra practices.
You were late every day and disappeared once practice ended.
When you finally appeared for practice, you said you forgot to bring the score.
If you were in my shoes, would you pay?
Fine.
Why bother with that amount of money?
Instead,
let me ask you something.
Who was the one who phoned my house?
Was it you?
Yes, it was me.
I was the one who called.
Was it you, Grandpa?
No, it was me.
I told you it was me. Who are you accusing?
You are so old, and you still know how to complain.
Are you embarrassed?
If you are, why did you do it?
I did it because I was worried.
You are like my granddaughter.
Your casual disrespectful speech is worrisome enough.
But if you quit school as well,
you can't go back and restore this time in your life.
You're the one that made things this way.
Don't you remember?
I went to borrow 200,000 Won from you.
That was for my school fees.
Even though I cleaned sheets, typed, and
taught the neighborhood kids to play the flute,
I was still short exactly 235,000 Won.
I was getting 100,000 Won from her
and was going to borrow the rest from you, Grandpa.
But both of you were a no-go.
Who was it that labeled me ignorant and uneducated?
Wasn't it you?
But, you know,
I didn't tell your secret to anyone.
She doesn't even know.
But who are you?
You attack me first, now that I know your secret?
You told on me just to see me get kicked out, right?
Granddaughter?
Next time, prepare a script before you lie.
I want to puke.
Grandpa, you and that Conductor Kang jerk...
You guys wait and see.
I will make sure your performance is electrifying.
Yi Deun, I will give you the money.
Gun Woo, how do you play the second verse?
What is with the melody?
Ah, there? You need to pause for half a beat.
You always get faster when you play that part.
No, I don't. I always pause for half a beat.
Then you just pause for a single beat.
It is different for everyone.
Then what about the bottom? - Gun Woo, you can't just teach him.
I am always messing up right here.
All these girls!
I was in the middle of asking!
You can't do this in the 21st century!
Except for Joo Yi.
Joo Yi can ask. Go ahead.
You come here.
What are you all doing?
Ah, nothing. We...
We were discussing having a gathering.
Gun Woo...
He's in charge of collecting funds.
Because the fees are a bit high,
we're telling him to cut back.
And let Teacher in for free.
That's why I said "Teacher should get in for free!"
That's right. There's no reason for it.
Why should he get in for free?
I am sorry.
Did I play that part wrong?
You try playing it.
The rest of them treat you like a god,
so I am trying to see how well you can blow.
Start from C.
What are you doing? Letter C.
How does the melody go?
What?
I can't read sheet music.
You can't read the musical notes?
Is that true?
It seemed too complicated,
so I just listened to it once and memorized it. Isn't it faster that way?
Memorize it?
I listen to it and just...
But I didn't affect the practice, right?
But... the notes are the basic...
Try playing that.
I'll learn how to read musical notes starting tomorrow if it's really a problem.
But...
Then you have been playing all this time by just memorizing?
Yes.
You are a genius.
Teacher, he is a genius.
The parts of a music score can't be memorized like that.
Maybe the score, but not the parts.
Does it prove that he's a genius just because he can play without reading music?
My daughter can play the dog and frog song without reading music.
Then she must be a genius too.
She is a genius.
It really is an amazing talent.
He can just play along without even knowing melody notes.
How can that be memorized?
What about the expression?
You can remember the tempo after just hearing it once?
No wonder.
I can feel something different about you.
And so, it's like this.
This young boy always managed to catch the main points and then taught us!
I thought it was strange!
Taught?
We just feel that his memory is better than ours during the remedial practices.
He's able to remember what you said during the practices.
Fine.
That's a good ability,
but you have to learn to read the music scores.
You did well.
I'm so proud of you.
When did it start?
Not long ago.
Focus your attention, and then teach me.
This is all that's for dinner.
When did it start?
When did you discover you had the ability to memorize music?
You can carbon copy an entire music score after hearing it once?
Even the other parts?
Yes.
So that's why you didn't learn how to read the music scores?
Yes.
The music scores aside, you are already 25 years old,
and you still don't know your talents.
Until now, you have been passing your days directing traffic and giving out parking tickets.
Now you find yourself playing classical music,
but you still don't have any awareness or understanding.
You are just replying with "Yes" this and "Yes" that...
You are just answering my questions casually, right?
You have no clue as to your abilities.
Tying an addressed letter to a dog's paw.
An earthworm receiving a treasured jewel.
I feel that you are one of these two:
you are a very arrogant fellow or an idiot.
You know how to boil water, right?
Just eat.
Where are you going?
I want to buy a delicious supper.
Right! One, two, one, two...
Like this. Just follow this beat, understand? - So it's like this.
This young boy always managed to catch the main points and then taught us!
I thought it was strange!
One eighth of a music beat is about this much.
That's how I guessed the temperature.
Teacher, he is a genius.
The parts of a music score can't be memorized like that.
Maybe the score, but not the parts.
Joo Hee, will you able to do it?
I just did it earlier.
Oh, Joo Hee.
Gun Woo, are you able to do that?
Let's not play anymore and start practicing.
Do you still remember the parts you didn't play well just now?
Gun Woo, please, just once.
Pretty Miss Joo Hee has already switched on the speakers to watch your performance.
This beautiful soul is going to be hurt if you don't do it.
Then my heart will hurt even more.
Right, Joo Hee?
Oh, there is a strand of hair.
Hey, I'm going to tell Mom.
Let's not waste any more time. It's getting late.
Not everyone is willing to stay here so late.
Let's quickly finish and go home.
I'm all right with it.
I didn't even dare breath loudly when Maestro Kang was here.
I feel really comfortable when we're here like this.
I can use my nose to play the trumpet as well.
The atmosphere is really great.
Let's play it right this time and make it through the whole piece.
- Let's start. - Ok, that's fine.
One, two, three, four...
Isn't that still a little too fast,
compared to Maestro Kang's tempo?
It should be all right since this is just practice.
A soldier must also stand guard at times.
It must have the feeling of thousands of horses running.
Please stop talking about feelings.
You should say "the senses should come alive".
Who cares whether it's "senses" or "feeling"?
Cabaret or cahhhhbaret.
Just do it quickly.
Teacher, isn't it like this?
Who is Maestro Kang to us anyway?
Our real conductor is Gun Woo, right? Right?
Oh, this guy didn't dare say a word when Maestro Kang was around,
but you sure talk a lot during practices.
I like the really fast tempo as well,
But we have to follow the conductor during the public performance.
Whether it's faster or slower, let's do it quickly.
Are you planning to stay overnight?
Well, Maestro Kang is going to flare up again if he finds out.
just let him get mad.
In a time, when even the president can get removed if he does a bad job,
that conductor is just a small fly.
What's he going to do, spray us with a water gun or a fire extinguisher?
He holds such a small baton,
and ours are so large.
Oh my!
Didn't you said that you were going out for supper?
Is everyone eating together?
Why are you so shocked?
Were you planning a revolt while eating?
Teacher...
You stood up just in time, come outside with me.
Well...
Go inside.
I'll resolve it, since I was the one who started it.
How are you going to resolve it?
What do you want me to do?
Leave.
Teacher...
Let him leave.
If you don't, I won't conduct.
Fine.
Gun Woo.
Didn't you say you need a conductor?
The performance...
I'll help you find a trumpet player for it.
Wait!
Teacher, not Gun Woo.
What?
Convincing people not to quit,
getting everyone to practice hard and reach this point,
that's all thanks to Gun Woo's efforts.
So it can't be him.
I made myself clear.
Kick him out. If not, I can't conduct.
I won't.
And so...
If I really have to choose...
I'll choose Gun Woo.
What's wrong with you?
He is learning to conduct, albeit self-taught.
But he'll be able to stand on the stage.
Although he can't compare to you,
we'll still be able to perform.
You must be really tired by now.
I'll say that, because you were very ill, I found someone else.
Then I'm sure the change of conductors will be alright.
Be alright?
Is this some sort of a circus?
That you can do everything so casually?
Yes, I'm just a Philistine.
I'm not fastidious about the performance nor conductor, as long as it can carry on.
But then, I don't take it lightly.
There wouldn't be adversity if we were to perform with you.
Insulting, shaming, looking down on us.
It'd be alright if we just withstood it but...
But what?
You can't take anymore because it's hard?
I can stand it,
because we're in this situation because of me.
Even if you step on me or spit on me, I can't say anything.
But how you've treated the other band members...
I really can't tolerate that at all.
You have great ability and experience, but
more than anything, an ideal leader has faith in our orchestra, treats them with respect, and grows with them.
That's the kind of conductor that we need right now.
And that is Gun Woo.
Not you.
Have you finished saying everything?
I would like to leave first if it's fine with you.
I'm a little tired as you say.
I'm sorry, Teacher.
I didn't know what to say to you.
Come, here's the soup.
It looks good.
Why didn't you grill more yellow fish when you were grilling?
Isn't it a little too bland?
Why's mine the smallest?
That's right,
why should I care about the Orchestra? This is where my position is.
My husband and kids would find it difficult without me.
The best place is where I'm needed the most.
Well...
it must've been hard on you these past few days.
You must have suffered since I often wasn't home lately.
The kids and you too.
I'm sorry for the past few days.
But, Mom has woke up already.
Hubby, I'll do even better from now on.
I wasn't home every night because I was doing charity work for the church.
You've really suffered,
but I won't be doing those things anymore.
Mom, you've been gone these past few days?
I thought you were still at home.
Haven't I been coming home really late recently?
I came home after 11 P.M. the day before yesterday.
The day before yesterday?
Weren't you sleeping really well in the other room?
Dad, it was me on that day.
I slept there because it was much cooler.
How could the size be so small?
Take out the bones for me.
Yes...
Didn't I tell you before?
I'd be coming back late because I was doing charity work for the church.
What is a woman, who's out so late, doing at night?
You must be really brazen.
But really no one noticed?
I've been coming in really late.
You should feel lucky that no one noticed.
Do you think I would've let you go if I knew about it?
Volunteer church work, my foot.
Your family is your community.
Why is your cooking like this?
How can you volunteer when you can't even cook well?!
The rice is too watery.
Let's just have mallow leaf porridge.
Go and buy some mallow leaf.
Only these?
Do you need anything else?
I said I needed mallow leaves.
Mallow?
Ahjumma, can you give me some bean sprouts?
- Okay. - Ahjumma, I was first.
Please give me some mallow leaves.
I don't have any. Why don't you buy some sardines?
The sardines are really fresh today.
You want bean sprouts right?
- More please. - Yes, wait a moment.
Here it is... mallow.
What else to you need besides the bean sprouts?
- Two flats of quail eggs, please. - There are mallow leaves here.
Please wait a moment while I finish her.
It's here, mallow.
Why did you say there wasn't any when there was?
It's right there?! There!
You bought it, didn't you?
Isn't mallow a vegetable? Why do you ignore it?
I didn't.
I just didn't see it, that's all.
It's not something to overlook!
How can you not know?
Is this acceptable?
Whoever heard of a vegetable vendor who didn't know if they had mallow?
Are you saying that, knowing whether you have mallow or not, is a trivial thing?!
How sad the mallow must be!
Why must you disregard it?
Why? Why? Why?
We are so late already.
I say we're really in for it.
Was Maestro Kang alright when you came out of the house just now?
I didn't see him.
There wasn't any movement in the house, like he packed his things and left.
He just left like that?
Come quickly.
Did you see a ghost?
Why are you so shocked?
Today is the last day as promised.
I will keep my commitments before I go.
There's no need to look at the sheet music.
Do you have a pen?
Jot it down.
Nella Fantasia.
1986...
A 4/4 piece composed by Ennio Morricone.
It's original music was from Gabriel's Oboe.
It was used as the theme song in the movie 'The Mission'.
The music score didn't have detailed composer instructions.
You can get the feeling by listening to the CD.
You will be performing much of it in *legato. (*slow, smooth speed)
And the trioles throughout, it is key that you play each of the three notes distinctly.
The syncopation must be followed strictly.
Although it's 4/4 beat.
But you should play it *alla breve. (* in 2/2)
To be able to bring out a better legato.
And, please follow the dal segno al coda exactly as written.
The priest in the movie was facing a frightening, primitive tribe
and he was also facing tip of the spear.
He managed to move their hearts by just playing the oboe.
So as to say, his audience was these primitive people.
All of you must move them like the priest did.
But do you know the quality of your performances right now?
It's really hard on the ears, right?
If I was a primitive man, I would've already killed such a performer.
Then how should I play it?
I seem to understand it.
I feel it already.
Of course. You'd be a fool if you couldn't feel it by now.
I'm not a fool.
Then let's become the priest and play it.
Please everyone close your eyes.
It's not really important keeping with the tempo, or the sound in tune.
Sooner or later those will come, through hard work and practice.
The important thing is...
What do I want to relay to the audience?
That sense...
That feeling...
Don't open your eyes.
Now you can hear the sounds of birds echoing from a faraway place.
And running river water...
And you feel the warmth of sunlight through tree branches.
And you hear a squirrel rustling nearby.
The wind is blowing gently.
Mixed in the wind, the scent of fragrant flowers,
touching your senses.
Do you feel it?
Here is a paradise, untouched by man.
Welcome to the world of Nella Fantasia.
Relax your nerves.
There's no need to think about the music score and sounds.
You just have to feel it.
But you can't be too sloppy,
so I'll remind everyone occasionally.
Just follow me at those points.
Like the sound is coming in from afar,
make the sound a little clearer.
Crescendo!
Fantasia!
Like a dream!
Now slowly, bring the sound closer.
Gradually, let the sound disappear far away.
Slowly...
Everyone worked hard.
With just a different conductor...
We can change so much.
Bravo! Nice! Good!
Maestro Kang, great!
Moved, moved!
I'm completely moved!
This is it for me.
From now on, it's all up to you.
Although I won't know if you were to succeed or not.
From now on, Mr. Kang Gun Woo, who's sitting in the back, who everyone knows...
he's the new rising sun.
The lazy genius who never memorized music scores, because he found it troublesome.
From now on, Maestro Kang Gun Woo will be leading everyone.
Interestingly, his name is the same as mine.
An amazing coincidence.
But are his conducting skills on the same level as mine?
I'll leave that for everyone to witness from now.
No, what are you trying to say?
Buy me a plane ticket since I'll be leaving tomorrow.
First class.
Where is the teacher going?
Is he leaving? Where?
He's not going to teach us anymore?
Teacher!
Teacher! Where are you going?
Please don't leave!
Where are you going after abandoning us?
You can't leave, Teacher!
I'll buy you anything you want, Teacher.
What?
Are you going to help me?
Don't worry, I've already packed everything already.
Just send the remaining luggage to this address.
Right.
I seem to be missing a book on conducting, did you take it?
It's a present. Don't just memorize it,
you must learn to make use of it.
But memorizing books on conducting,
it should help if you put in the effort,
because you're special.
I'll be sleeping now.
Letting those sub standard performers feel that kind of atmosphere
is really making me tired.
I really hate you.
The way you're speaking is really characteristic of a farewell speech,
but you needn't come here to say those words to me.
We both understand, isn't that so?
Your arrogance and inconsiderate behavior to everyone...
Your overbearing self praise.
The way you stamp the life
out of anyone who questions you...
All of it is repulsive.
I dislike everything about you as a person.
That's right. In life, a person is one way, and other people are completely different.
Without any skills,
shameless people use their talents getting close, and leeching off other people.
You'll be thinking of me when you meet that kind of person.
I'll take that as a compliment.
But your skill is still the best.
I acknowledge that.
Although saying these words is really embarrassing,
for the first time in my life,
I feel music is such a beautiful thing.
I don't know if you'll believe me,
but it's the truth.
That's frightening. Why are you talking like that?
Wasn't that you, dancing on my podium,
messing with my tempo?
Don't you feel this is really absurd?
Please lead us.
And also, please teach me.
I really want to learn...
conducting.
You can't possibly expect that I'd say "yes" to such an arrangement.
What do you want?
To have a certain dramatic, unexpectable ending?
Is it fun?
Is it interesting?
But what to do?
I don't find it fun or interesting at all.
I was too proud.
I understood when I saw you conducting.
How far I went beyond my qualifications.
That's right, you're really an arrogant fellow.
So thanks for satisfying my curiosity.
It's fine to call me an idiot.
I also realized the extent of my shortcomings.
What?
Where are your shortcomings? How incompetent are you?
Explain it to me in detail?
I might reconsider, if...
you manage to convince me.
There are...
too many.
It's all wrong from beginning...
to end.
That's good.
I can understand how you feel.
But still I won't be conducting.
Apologies are apologies, punishments are punishments.
It doesn't matter if it's you, the orchestra members or the music leader, you're all in it together.
Do you know that Mozart was a commoner?
According to you,
he should've spent his life digging, farming, before dying.
Lots of artists would've been tortured to death if you were a conductor then.
You conceited fellow!
More than anything an ideal leader has faith in our orchestra, treats them with respect, and grows with them.
That's the kind of conductor that we need right now.
And that's Gun Woo.
Not you.
Why isn't that girl apologizing to me?
- It's the music leader. - I know.
Have you bought the plane ticket?
Yes.
Go inside quickly.
Yes, thank you.
Take care.
I can't take it anymore,
I drank everything offered to me.
I feel horrible.
Let's go back quickly.
I'll open the door for you.
No, I'll do it.
I'm nearest to it anyway.
Go quickly start up the car.
I feel so bad.
I feel so bad, let's get back quickly.
Go now.
I'm sorry, someone blocked the car. - What's that?
Hey, what are you doing?
What are you actually doing?
Get away.
What are you doing, Student?
Let go.
I waited a long time for you, Mayor.
Did you drink a lot?
I have an important thing to tell you, is it alright?
What's this about, student?
You'll wake up immediately after hearing what I have to say.
It's a very exciting matter.
It's a flight departing in the afternoon,
the earliest flight out.
It's only this?
You don't have other things to say?
Although I want to,
I'm not qualified to ask you to stay.
Why don't you say it out loud for me since it doesn't matter.
I know you won't stay because of what I say.
Even if you do stay,
there's no guarantee the same thing wouldn't happen again.
I know you conducted us that once, so we knew who you really were.
But it should only be that once.
There won't be another time, since it's hard on you because it's not at all your style.
The members' capabilities won't improve in a short period of time.
Even you stayed on against your will,
both parties would feel uncomfortable towards each other.
Just say your main point!
You still think the best conductor is that young boy, right?
It doesn't matter if it's Gun Woo or the other members, I was the one who brought them together.
At first, I gathered them because of the performance,
but those people are more important to me than anything else.
But still...
I feel sorry towards you.
I shouldn't have decided to test your conducting skills.
I shouldn't have played with Gun Woo conducting, and kept it from you.
Why are you apologizing now after you did everything?
Isn't this excuse a little too simple?
I learned a lot of things from you.
You have worked hard.
Hello...
Who is it?
The orchestra is a fake, right?
What?
What did you just say, Manager Kim?
Is that orchestra a fake or not?
Who embezzled the three million won?
The mayor is going to blow his top now!
Come over here immediately, quickly!

Ah, yes, Maestro Jung Myung Hwan...
But Jung Myung Hwan is fully capable of taking this, and making good green tea out of it.
The performance...
You can expect a good one.
- My age... - No other group has looked out for me...
My mother loves to dance.
All of you are way too kind. You must become more selfish.
- There is no time left. - Hurry over to the practice room.
Maestro, you hurt yourself?
If you do what I say, you'll be able to barely touch the tip of the conducting level you're striving for.
Splendid King Kang Mae, I love you.
Why is your tone of voice like this?
- Get out! - I told you to sit down.
- She's my employee. - She's my orchestra leader.
The people here are my orchestra leader and my orchestra. The right to ignore them lies only with me.
