In the beginning, the concert was our priority.
But now, our members are the most important to me.
We believe in each other, look out for each other...
And we believe that the person who can unite us together...
is Gun Woo, not you Maestro...
Let me show you my magic as well.
My successor shall be hand-picked by me.
The concert, will be one worth waiting for.
What's happening? Why are they all small children?
Hey you! Where are you looking? You should be looking at me.
Just follow my rhythm.
So, according to your values, are you happy now?
Hee Yun will be responsible for the solo. Get her back here immediately.
Speak up! Answer me!
My name is Jung Hee Yun!
What right do you have to call me a 'pile of poop'?!
Even ordinary people like these people, can have such ambitions.
I'll express this kind of emotion.
Only by practicing happily, can we put on a good show. Isn't that what you said?
All of you are just instruments under me.
I have dementia.
Bae Yong Gi. I'm from Pukwang Dong's Don't Tell Papa.
We are the best!
I want to learn conducting now.
You elitist, arrogant jerk!
I believe in all of you.
You can do it.
Can you stay for another few days? Please?
I want to understand you better, Maestro.
Episode 6
He should agree. He will agree. Won't he?
He needs to agree.
He should be here soon.
Maestro.
It's not as if I'm *Seiji Ozawa (*A famous conductor). Take your seats.
Can I ask you a question directly?
About the orchestra...
It's been hard on all of you today.
And you've performed far beyond my imagination.
So... you've heard that they want to set up a permanent orchestra.
I've decided to accept the job.
Hurray for Maestro Kang! This is so touching!
Thank you. Thank you.
Thanks to all of you for being so happy about me setting up this permanent orchestra.
Let me thank you here for your whole-hearted devotion to music.
If we can take today's applause as a sign, my orchestra will become the best in the world.
I will become this city's most avid promoter of classical music,
and hope that everyone here will support my orchestra,
and attend the performances.
Maestro...
Why do I feel that we've become the third party here?
Exactly... what are we supposed to understand as members of the orchestra?
The orchestra that will be set up, will have the best musicians in this country.
It's been hard on all of you throughout this time.
What's wrong? Surely you did not expect that the orchestra would include you?
If you have forgotten, I can give you a little reminder.
All of you are nothing more than a group of amateur players.
Until today, I trust that everyone has enjoyed playing music?
Again, it's just like I said before...
Professional musicians aren't like you. It's their full-time job, and not just a hobby.
We could adapt to this ourselves, couldn't we?
The decision for an orchestra was made due to today's performance, wasn't it?
I was the one who completed the solo.
Why are all of you here today? Waiting for me?
Wasn't it to find out whether I would be accepting this position?
In other words, the decision to set up a permanent orchestra is because of me.
I'm sure everyone here knows that in their hearts.
Not because of you! It's me! Me!
In the future, the philharmonic orchestra will be my orchestra.
And the owner of this orchestra, will be me.
To make sure that my orchestra will be the best...
I'll have to use the best musicians.
Is this concept so hard to understand?
Isn't it clear yet?
Anyway, it's been hard on all of you.
So... for my future performances, I'll supply everyone here discounted tickets.
I hope that I'll be seeing you in the audience.
Hmm... Maestro?
What... Maestro?
You jerk! You're really making me angry!
Enduring you time and again, now we really can't take it anymore!
Just leave him to me!
Let me go instead.
What? Discounted tickets?
Sit down... Sit down first.
It's not even free! What use are discounted tickets!
Maestro Kang!
What else do you have to say... running after me like this.
You're no longer the concert master of the orchestra.
Please give us another chance.
At least hold an audition and let us participate in it.
Audition? Of course. People will have to be auditioned.
I've selected people far above your abilities, and it's being kept a secret.
There'll be no one there with low standards similar to yours.
I'm all too familiar with your abilities. I'm so familiar that...
I got nauseated after listening to it.
It's just like you said... with our nauseating standards,
we still managed to finish today's concert successfully.
How do you explain that?
Oh yes. How did it happen?
Is it because of divine intervention?
Did Mozart's spirit give his blessing?
I don' think so.
I would think that it was due to good conducting.
Though we can't claim that the decision to set up the orchestra was made due to us,
so we could be replaced with other musicians.
After all, we know our abilities reasonably well.
But, to just give our positions away...
We're very angry. We feel wronged.
Maestro, you have been with us for almost two months.
Surely you've seen all the hard work we've put in?
Even with this, can you still not trust us?
After saying all this, what do you hope to accomplish?
A candy coated apology?
I didn't have a choice, and I'm feeling guilty as well.
Your abilities are quite good, go somewhere else and succeed just to prove me wrong.
Is this what you want to hear?
Of course. If it were anyone else...
especially *Jung Myung Hwan, (*Kang's rival) they would definitely say this.
Why? Because he wants to appear as the good guy, he doesn't want to make it unpleasant.
He portrays himself with a good guy image.
Whether it's an audition or an interview, it's nothing more than a show.
The difference is that, Jung Myung Hwan, will say that your abilities are doubtful.
It's really a pity that he has to reject you.
He'll make lies sound even truer than the truth.
But in reality, it's still just a lie.
There's only one reason for not accepting you.
*Standard. (*level of ability)
I have never wanted to appear as a good guy in front of anyone.
But I believe, at least, it's better than lying.
That's why I'm telling you this so frankly.
All of you... really... don't have a high enough standard.
Especially you. You're the worst.
What's a deaf person doing with music?
Have you forgotten?
Wasn't it you who said yourself that you couldn't hear?
It was only that one time.
It's just the beginning.
If you really don't believe what I say,
then go to this clinic for a checkup, and show me the medical report.
Don't try to lie to me, the doctor is a friend of mine.
If I bring it to you, will you accept me?
I'll treat you as a normal person.
Maestro Kang recommended that I come to you.
You're having hearing problems?
Actually it was only that one time.
I've had a few headaches recently,
but I usually felt better after taking medication.
As for the low ringing in my ears, I only heard it once as well.
Maestro Kang doesn't believe me, and insisted that I come for a check-up.
You don't really have give me a check-up, I'm perfectly healthy.
Don't talk anymore, and please stop lying.
I still can hear, can't I?
Today, I went around, through Central Park, Ouali Bar and asked many questions.
Asked.
I asked them, what they'd heard about any auditions, or interviews and so on...
- Was there news? - No!
Of course!
To think that our hastily cobbled together group still needs to be auditioned!
- His orchestra is something everybody is desiring! - Exactly!
Exactly!
How can it be kept so secret!
Good evening.
You're here?
How's it going? Are you still with the police force?
I went to hand in my resignation.
I saw Senior Park.
Look at this poor boy...
He gave up his police job just because of Kang Mae,
What are you going to do?
Oh... my poor little Gun Woo... What are you going to do in the future?
She... has she been provoked?
Why aren't you drinking anymore?
Now beer is the only thing we can rely on.
Come... drink up.
Cheers!
Rush to where they are having auditions,
and show them what we're capable of!
Park Hyuk Kwon... he's invited for the audition.
On my way here, I met him, and that's what he said.
He said Kang Mae called him.
Park Hyuk Kwon? The contra-bassist Park Hyuk Kwon?
That bad tempered Park Hyuk Kwon?
That Park Hyuk Kwon whose standards are not much different from mine?
And he still said that our abilities were too low... but isn't he still looking for people of our standard?
Park Hyuk Kwon... His standard is quite good actually.
In school, he was the leader of the orchestra.
Even after graduation, he still continued playing.
Even so, it's too much.
Calling people secretly in private... What's he up to?
That's why, I rejected him.
He called you as well?
Yes. He told me if I was interested, I could come for the audition.
I was concerned and said I couldn't cope given my age, and he said okay.
He said he would consider it carefully, then hung up.
It's so unlike Kang Mae, being polite to you for once.
Of course, your abilities are undeniable.
And your age shouldn't become too big a problem.
He will definitely try to get you into the orchestra.
Your standard is of course undeniable,
so you'll pass the audition smoothly.
The battery's still full...
This is too much...
Since he's going to call, he should either call us quickly or just not call at all.
Just like his conducting, swift and clean.
This really makes me feel uncomfortable. I put my whole heart into the concert!
Hello?
Yes, Maestro.
Audition?
I'm not guaranteeing you that you'll pass,
I thought about your courage in quitting your job, so I'm throwing you a rice cake.
Catch it and eat your fill.
Yes.
And it's not an audition for a conductor. It's for a trumpeter.
I've no interest in teaching someone who can't even read a music score.
So you, we'll start from the beginning.
As for conducting, we'll discuss it at a later date.
Yes.
Are your lips glued together?
I expected that you would say a word of thanks.
Yes. Thank you.
Is that it? Aren't you going say something about how you're going to work hard?
Yes. I will... I'll work hard.
It's as if I'm begging you to do so.
One more thing. The date and venue of the audition,
is to be kept secret.
I really can't bear to see the old orchestra members coming in crying and weeping.
You're not allowed to tell even Ru Mi. Is that clear?
Yes, I understand.
Go for it. The audition.
What's wrong. Why's the atmosphere here so tense now.
Gun Woo deserves to go for the audition... He even resigned from his job!
Isn't that so?
Well... he should go... Of course.
Haven't you already agreed, and said that you want to go?
Thank you, I'll work hard. Yes sir.
But do you know...
when you weren't here during the performance,
your trumpet part... I was the one who played it for you.
And while you were happily directing your traffic...
again it was me, loyal to the very end, who resigned from my job to come for practice.
What's wrong with you... Seriously...
You still haven't said anything about my solo.
The one who helped you cover up the solo you didn't care about, is right in front of you.
That also calls for a certain level of commitment.
In that case, I won't go for the audition.
- What are you saying, fella? - What are you doing?
No. I'm serious. I really don't know what to do.
Why do you keep looking at Grandpa?
Both of you got selected, aren't you two together?
You're drunk. Stop drinking.
Then again, it wasn't you who held on to Kang Mae so tightly.
Everyone has their own fate...
Just tell me the date of the audition.
Yes... when is it?
We'll go there to see on that day as well.
Well... he wants me to keep it a secret from you.
Our Gun Woo... isn't very good with words.
Gun Woo, we're alright, go on... say it.
It's not as if we want to go there and cause a scandal.
Suddenly, even beer loses it's effect.
Today, I'm going to drink until I'm dead drunk.
I'll find someone or some place where no one hates me.
Though it's being very rude, I've got to get going. Sorry.
Ahjussi, Ahjussi!
What's the world coming to?
Gun Woo, don't take it to heart.
Bae Yong Gi, he's not really angry with you.
If it's to turn down the audition, then put down that phone.
This makes it even harder for us if you don't go for the audition.
His fit of anger would then be useless.
Go for it.
Go and break Kang Mae's most precious baton into half.
This is the only thing you can do now.
Ahjussi!
What's wrong with you?
Are you angry because of Gun Woo?
Didn't he say thank you? Didn't he say that he'll work hard?
And he even did it right in front of us!
It's not as if you don't know that Kang Mae dislikes Gun Woo.
So Kang Mae's calling Gun Woo,
is the first time he's acknowledging that Gun Woo has potential.
Did you expect Gun Woo to throw his phone away and ignore him?
If it were you, would you do the same?
He should at the very least tell us the date of the audition, shouldn't he?
Now that we have nowhere to go,
is what he agreed to with Kang Mae more important than us?
He says the audition is on next Wednesday.
I really don't know the venue.
He said he would tell me the location on that day.
He say's it's next Wednesday. Happy?
Now we just need to find out the venue.
[Where are you, Maestro?]
[My mom prepared some dessert for me, I'll bring it over if you're at home.]
[ I'm busy.]
[Where are you? Outside?]
[With 20 musicians whose abilities are so much better than yours.]
[I'm dining with them now.]
[I'm very busy. Stop sending me messages.]
Didn't you say that you were eating?
So that's why you sent me the messages?
To find out where I was, then ransack the cabinet?
Actually, it's not entirely true.
Now you're really daring, there's nothing you won't do.
Isn't that right?
The venue for the audition, what would it matter if you told me? Does this look easy?
How am I supposed to find anything when it's so dark?
You... what are you trying to do?
I'll count to three, you'd better tell me simply why you are doing this.
One...
It's because, I know you don't acknowledge our performance.
Two...
So no matter how small the chance is, I don't want to miss it.
If I missed the chance, I would regret it in the future.
Three.
I don't want to use this as an excuse in the future.
Do you know how many excuses I've had throughout my life?
After graduation from university, I didn't manage to get into an orchestra.
I became a normal civil servant.
I blamed my mom, my friends, I blamed everybody.
In actual fact, they were all excuses.
I'm nothing but a pitiful, sad person.
But how can I blame others for this? It's all my fault.
My fault that I was lazy, I wasn't hardworking enough.
But it was too late, and whether I became a civil servant or not was irrelevant.
I'm actually very unsatisfied with all this!
Why is it that I have to be slower than the others by half a beat?
When I needed to grab it tightly, I didn't treasure the chance.
Always regretting, why do I have to be slower than the rest.
That's why, I don't want to live this kind of life anymore.
Being worse off for now, is very embarrassing.
No... so what if I lose face?
It won't be the same in the future.
Being thick skinned and auditioning, is better than regretting it forever.
You don't want to leave here with regrets?
Yes.
But being so persistent, will not only make you regret, but you might lose everything.
It might all disappear.
What?
Next Wednesday, starting at 10AM, at the Cultural Palace rehearsal hall.
It's because you want it too much that I'm telling you this now. Don't blame me in the future.
You've prepared too much for us...
Hand it here, pass it over...
You haven't eaten much.
You've really prepared too much.
Please excuse me...
It's delicious! We must come here more often.
Her culinary skills are good as well...
[Orchestra Auditions at Moon Hwa Maeurl Rehearsal Room - Person In Charge: Lee Da Hwan]
What's Park doing? Tell him to hurry back.
I know my *Hyung's a good person. (*older brother)
Losing out on the Team Leader promotion to a Junior,
and inviting him over isn't easy.
I know. I know all that, but...
It's just because you are very capable.
Your habit of interrupting me...
I hate it.
Can't you just listen?
Hyung, have you ever seen me interrupting a senior?
I just listen first.
Even when you were my Senior I listened to everything you said.
Becoming a Team Leader at my age? I think of it like this...
Yes, you've got the basics?
Yeah, I'm a kid. I know.
But am I rude? Well... I don't really know about that, but...
If you say I'm rude because I separate business from personal matters,
then I am rude. So what?
Knowing when it's business and when it's personal is important. Isn't it so?
You're right. That's my daughter's bed.
My wife vacuums here everyday...
Work. Let's talk about work.
How's the project coming along?
Not too well, is it?
You'll need to rewrite it, won't you?
Well... what's wrong with it?
Go through it carefully, the idea's not bad actually.
If not... you take care of it for me, can't you?
I don't think so. No.
Hello?
Ru Mi?
I'm Bao Luo's mother.
Yes. Good evening.
Is it convenient now?
It's not much... my husband received a message on his phone,
about the audition for the orchestra.
Is it for real?
Are they really letting him participate in the audition?
He never mentioned it to me before.
What's going to happen after being chosen? Will it be a lifelong appointment?
What would the monthly salary be?
I'm sad enough lately as it is.
My husband, has been demoted, now he's just a supervisor.
What's more... his position was snatched by a younger man.
He insists on acting like a gentleman, and brought his colleagues over to the house to celebrate.
Is there any reason for celebrating with the person that stole his position?
Doesn't he have any pride?
Oh yes. We just now you received a message.
The audition for the orchestra. It's at the Cultural Palace.
Why didn't you mention the orchestra to me before?
What's more, don't you want to give it a try?
The salary and bonus added together don't go beyond 2 million won,
I'm not going, I'll just pass on that 2 million.
Going to a orchestra would make your life more balanced.
Who would be there just for the salary?
You can develop your passion, or at the very least, be happy there!
If you were to become a member of the orchestra,
there would also be many people looking up to you for tutorage.
Children these days in this profession, in order to enter university, their parents would...
Who said it was so. Even if it was like that,
I hate teaching other people things the most. Would I still go and be a tutor?
You know that I hate it, yet still want me to do this.
What do you take me for?
How much can it be?
What?
Tutor fees.
Oh... I think its quite a big sum.
But it still depends on the person. If he's efficient,
I think you can earn more than what you're earning now.
And it's just a part-time job, your main job won't be affected.
So I advise you, my husband, to consider it.
At least it's more stable than your current job.
And when you get to be around 45,
you'll have to put up with the company's whims, and could be sacked anytime.
What if it were like now, by a younger man...
What's wrong now?
What's wrong with a younger man?
I told you before, I gave him that position!
There's so many things to do, and yet that guy still doesn't work hard,
I gave him the position to let him suffer for a bit.
If not, could I have prepared a celebration for him today?
Could I not understand you? Of course I understand.
The audition, I suggest you take a look at it.
I'm not going.
It'll be such a pity if you waste this chance.
- You could even... - I already told you... I'm not going!
Ahjussi, your avatar is soooo handsome!
You play golf? Then your muscles must be very developed, isn't it?
Unni, will playing golf really develop muscles?
Just make it simpler, saying that he's handsome or cool should be enough. These men are really simple.
Just find any reason to praise them and they'll fall for it.
Oh! Ahjussi! You're really handsome!
You're so humorous, you must be well educated. You're definitely a handsome guy.
Forget it. I'm giving up. This is too disgusting for me.
My goosebumps are coming out all over.
What's his avatar called?
"I'll Buy Anything For You"?
I'm sure.
What's wrong? He says he'll buy anything.
Wake up. Would this kind of guy be dating with you over the internet?
In my opinion, he's nothing more than a penniless kid.
Discuss the price immediately. If he refuses, just find someone else.
What's the price like?
Ask for 100 thousand won per hour, if he offers 150 then accept immediately.
What's 150 thousand for? Is it... for that?
It's the same for 100 thousand, silly.
You're really innocent.
What's wrong with that?
Being like you, doing it for money without hesitation, are you proud of that?
Look at yourself...
Wasn't it you who came and begged me, to help you find a way to earn money fast?
I never knew it was going to be like this...
What's wrong with this?
Look here, you stupid girl,
Sitting in the office all day typing documents, delivering newspapers...
How much can you make a month?
Does it even amount to a million?
You can make that sum within 5 days here!
You'll have 5 million in a month!
Where else would you find such a easy money making job?
If you don't want to then just quit!
What are you doing? Who says I'm not doing it.
Buy Anything for You: Thanks for the compliment.
I won't accept anything below 300 thousand. Do you accept?
Hey, hey... You can't just quote any price. There are rules even in this profession.
So what? I'm earning money anyway, I just want to earn more in the same time.
Buy Anything for You: I'll give you a million for 3 hours.
A million?!
What?
Hey! He says a million for three hours.
Who is he? Give him to me! Please?
Don't snatch! He's mine!
Let's meet up now. Where are you?
Buy Anything For You: Right in front of you.
Let go of me!
What are you doing? Are you a stalker?
You wanted to meet up immediately. I can buy anything for you. Really.
Let go of me!
Are you feeling embarrassed now? You know that this is embarrassing yet you still do this?
Why are you so weak? Are you skipping meals now?
Hey! Get me some turkey and sauced vegetables.
You're already late for 20 minutes.
When are you going to change shift with me?
Foot the bill. You asked me to buy anything I wanted.
I'm sorry, I have something to say to her. She'll take over you after I'm done.
How did you get my ID?
From her.
You agreed to give me 1 million for 3 hours,
You have 2 more.
Say whatever's on your mind.
You want this sum of money so much... Why is it so?
What's wrong? Money is a good thing.
Grandpa, don't you like money?
What a joke. If you don't like it, give it all to me.
Though your family has some problems, you should still be able to feed yourself.
You don't need to give up on school, and go hungry while mixing with people outside.
I want to be a rich woman. Money is my goal in life.
To use Grandpa's preferred English to say, "Money is my...
...Goal. " Okay?
That's why I'm asking you... why?
Do I still behave like a kid to you?
Ridiculous, isn't it?
But I have my own reasons.
I've thought up plans for what to do over the next 15 years.
I want to hear them.
First, invest 5 million to set up a website.
A horoscope website. How does it sound?
It's not too bad.
Very good, isn't it?
Go and do a survey. In our country, who hasn't gotten horoscope read to them yet?
It also doesn't require much initial investment,
as it's based on intellectual property.
At first, the goal is to attract attention. When the time is ripe, I'll start to collect subscription fees.
After doing this for 5 years, I'll have 50 million.
Go on.
I'll then use this money to invest in stocks, but with a hard and fast rule.
Every month, gain a return of 5%.
And I would not continue putting more money into it.
I'll use a stable investment method, and continue investing.
With an increase of 5% every month, I'll double my investment, which would be 100 million.
After 5 years and 4 months, it'll be 800 million.
After 10 years and 8 months, it'll be 12.8 billion!
Isn't it just perfect?
Becoming a rich woman, that's something not far away!
I still haven't asked you how you're going to get your investment capital,
And I do not intend to find out. Good, 12.8 billion sounds good to me.
But, SO WHAT? What do you want that money for?
To buy bread to eat. What's it got to do with you?
Why are you so rebellious?
I want bread, I want a house, I want to buy a bungalow.
I still want to go overseas, then create a foundation... There are many things I can do.
Foundation? What's that for?
Your grasp of language is terrible.
Have you confused it with a monetary fund?
You don't build a monetary fund, you set it up!
I mean a monetary fund. Whatever.
I'm going to set one up.
A scholarship fund.
From the 12.8 billion, I'll donate 10 billion,
To help children.
To find all those children like me, with musical talent but no money.
Then with the money... pay for their school fees, utilities, food, tutor fees,
I'll dispense the money to them fairly.
A practice room to each.
Then sponsor their overseas studies.
And in the end...
...nurture a real, talented flautist.
"Still being able to learn music even if one is poor. "
I'm going to make this fantasy become reality.
All right. I guess you'd better become a finance mogul.
Ohh... but this here.
You've got this $400 piece just hanging around.
What are you doing? Just leave it alone!
This flute of yours... it's old, but...
...it could still pull in $400.
I can sell it for you. You need investment capital.
What? You can't sell it because you have no buyer?
Then, shall I buy it from you?
Hand it over.
What about this?
I'll give you double the value for it. Let's break it.
Finance mogul, foundation, all of it sounds like child's play.
But you don't want to hear that, do you?
So, why don't you just break this here and now.
Make it official, the end of the musician, the beginning of the finance mogul.
How about it? Snap it?
Shall I break it?
Go ahead and break it.
I said break it!
What, now that I've laid out the welcome mat, you can't do it?
Hey!
Ha Yi Deun!
Will that do?
Do you feel better now?
There are workshops that include music competitions for the gifted.
Shut up.
They help poor students like you go to college and study abroad.
If you work just a little more on your skills...
Won't you be quiet?
I can't play the flute.
That's not true. You can.
You already have a strong base.
And I hear you're only sleeping 4 hours a day, working at part-time jobs.
Just diligently work on your flute for the next 3 months.
You could place first in those music competitions.
Who am I, Yi Deun?
I played Oboe for the Seoul City Symphony.
Competitions like this...
I'm someone who has judged many.
I can assure you, you've got it. You can do it.
A legendary flautist? Why let it be someone else?
Why spend your hard-earned money to give that title to someone else?
You can just become that legend yourself.
Let those kids without money witness it firsthand.
You become the legend.
Okay, please begin.
Let me confess something.
I didn't call you for an audition.
Excuse me?
I was going to scold you for disappearing just a couple days before the performance.
That wasn't bad.
Though, not at a professional level, is it?
Did you have a lot of pent up grudges?
As you can probably see from my resume,
I won my share of prizes during college,
and continued to practice regularly after that.
I've never abandoned my instrument.
In any case, today was your best performance...
You know you'll have to quit your job if you make it, don�t' you?
Excuse me?
You may leave. Next.
Mr. Kim.
What.
You see, I haven't quite made up my mind.
What?
What I mean is I didn't really come committed to joining the city orchestra.
It's just that...
Even now, I just snuck out of work with some excuse.
To quit my job right away would be a little...
Well you know...
What do you want me to do about it?
Just a second, just a second.
What?
- He's good. - He's really good.
It's okay, it's okay.
What, did she come for some party?
All decked out -
It shows she doesn't have confidence in her skills.
She's scared. She's frightened. She's nervous.
Musicians should dress simply, humbly.
Plainly.
Unni, why are you doing that to Ahjussi?
Today you look very pretty.
- Be quiet. - Okay.
Oh my. Look at him.
He's looking at our performance pamphlet.
Oh really?
Since I was in that performance, I feel like telling him.
That's what I'm talking about.
If we just play to the best of our ability, they're all dead meat.
Dead meat, uh huh.
Oh, Gun Woo.
Hello.
Why are you so late?
Mr. Kim was freaking out looking for you.
Oh that's right. Gun Woo, you're here for a real audition.
If you fail, I'm gonna give you the what for! So do well! Fighting!
Oh, that must be so nice for you.
Hyung, I'll be back.
What do you mean *Hyung? (*older brother) I'm the third generation of only sons.
I better check it out at the district office.
You should hurry and go. Quickly, quickly! Fighting!
I'll be back.
Fighting!
Hey you! Why are you so late? Hurry in.
Ru Mi and the project members, come with me.
Maestro has asked you to come in and watch.
Quickly.
Maestro has asked us to come in.
Move, move out of the way...
Please begin.
Stop.
Classical music is a square blank. What do you think that was?
Why are you laughing? What is it?
I don't know about classical music, but...
I think music, no an orchestra is about being happy and working on something together.
No, that's not interesting. Develop your answer more.
Drop by the office on your way out and get the schedule.
Next.
So, did he make it?
I'm Jessica. I've received a full scholarship
from Dickenson University School of Music.
And I'm obtaining an Artistic Diploma.
I went through training with the Berlin Orchestra
and I'm currently acting as a leader of a...
What is she saying right now?
She keeps saying first, first...
Does that mean she's been in a lot of top or leader positions?
I don't know.
Since she came to Korea, she should speak Korean.
Who doesn't know English? First, Second, Third, Home, 3 Outs.
They can't accept that kind of person. Not good.
She's good.
I think she's better than even our Mr. Kim Gab Yong.
Miss Ru Mi. I'm sorry. I have an issue at home.
That's enough, thank you.
You there... Where are you going?
It's your turn. Come and give it a try.
What's the matter, Aunt? Are you not feeling well?
Oh, what are we going to do?
Those people are too good.
What the heck am I?
I'm a total fool.
Ohhh, I made a total fool out of myself.
That's enough. Next.
I'll be playing the trumpet.
Enough!
I've done my best.
You're the last, right?
Tell everyone to come in.
When you were all bugging me to audition, it seemed like everyone wanted to come.
But, this is all that shows up?
Fine.
The people who went before you scored an average 7.2 points.
As you can see from the results, I'm a bit tough.
I'll call out your scores.
*Hong Jung Gee 1.7 (*Viola)
*Jung Hee Yun 1.8 (*Cello)
*Kim Joo Hee 2.3 (*Violin)
*Kim Joo Hyun 2.5 (*Violin)
*Kang Ju Mee 1.5 (*flute)
*Park Jung Gun 1.8 (*bass)
*Du Ru Mi 2.9 (*violin)
*Na Moo Gil 1.9 (trombone)
*Bae Yong Gil 1.1 (*trumpet)
Anyone have questions?
Judging from your face, the will to continue music appears to have died.
How does it feel, Miss Du Ru Mi?
Are you happy now that you've hit rock bottom?
Didn't I tell you?
You may be left with nothing, much less regret.
This is what you asked for.
Really, 1.1 for me, isn't that going a little too far?
How embarrassing! You heard him.
Am I really 1.1? The ahjummas love me!
This can't be! How can I be a 1.1?!
- Isn't that so? - Don't talk to me.
I'm not 1.1 am I?
Are you trying to comfort me?
Okay, I better eat up and feel better.
Hey, give me some of that too.
Looks good.
But, what did they say about you?
Didn't he say to stop by the office?
Oh. They wrote up a contract and I signed it.
They say the first practice is next Wednesday.
Then, you made it!
Wow, congrats... oh.
What's the matter, did you hurt yourself?
Oh, I kind of tweaked my neck.
Probably because I overdid it, practicing for the audition.
But, it's only because I practiced so hard that I scored even the 2 point something...
If I hadn't, I would have got a big fat nothing.
Why don't you at least try to audition again?
I've tried that before, but now the chance it's gone.
Search on the Internet.
There's lots of opportunities where they put on a performance or two every year.
A year is too long. I have to do it within 4 months
Why?
After about 4 months, they say I'll be near deaf.
What?
Why would you be near deaf?
They said at the hospital...
They said somewhere in my head, a tumor has developed.
Remember, I had those frequent headaches?
It was probably because of that.
Hey, are you...
Come out.
Let me eat first.
Can you eat at a time like this?
I'm not full yet.
We've already ordered it. It would be a waste.
Let's finish eating.
Eat some with me...
They say the tumor is too big, so I'll have to have surgery.
But I'll still be hard of hearing.
So, since I'll be near deaf anyway, I'm taking it one day at a time.
I'm bearing with it as long as I can hear.
And then when I can't stand it, I'll go and get the surgery.
What about another option, did they say there were no other options?
The doctor did say he'd look into it, but there doesn't seem to be any.
Hey, but others even die from tumors.
Aren't I lucky in a way?
I'm only going to be hard of hearing.
Were you always this type of person?
Hmm?
You go into hysterics over little things, but remain calm and objective on the big issues?
You're too emotionless about this. It's not normal.
I was really curious about that too.
The day before yesterday, I was going to get drunk on soju and cry myself silly.
But the drunker I got, the better my mood.
I couldn't muster any tears.
So I even tried thinking really sad thoughts and to get into a mournful mood.
But, when I woke up in the morning, I was still fine.
Aren't I too funny?
Maybe it's something like this.
You know, sometimes when you brush against something sharp...
You don't notice the pain immediately.
Only later, when it starts to bleed and sting, do you realize it.
I think I do find it hard to grasp.
Look... people are laughing and playing...
It's the same as always.
Nothing has changed.
Anyhow, it feels nice to know that at least you're concerned about me.
Maestro Kang just...
Oh, this has to be kept secret from Maestro Kang.
I went to the exam because he kept bugging me to do it.
But if he knows that I really do have a problem, he'll probably feel pretty darn smug.
Ooh, I can't even stand the sight of him.
But, really isn't there anywhere I can play?
As long as I can still hear, I really want to play in an orchestra.
Why are you just leaving?
Is there someone here that you can't stand the site of?
Is there no way they could even be a *practice players? (*understudies)
Who?
Are you talking about the old players?
Did you see their scores earlier?
No, even if you didn't see them.
You've played with them up to now, you don't know their level?
Besides, Ru Mi has issues with her ears.
You heard about what happened at the performance, right?
You know about it and you're acting this way?
Is there a real problem?
No. She had an examination, and they said it was okay.
I heard there was such a thing as *practice players. (*understudies)
Those that get called when there aren't enough musicians for a performance.
Like interns...
Couldn't they participate even in that capacity?
What's the difference between an understudy and a visiting performer?
You don't have to pay them.
Practice players don't get paid regularly anyhow.
And since they know your personality, they'll behave well.
Yeah, that sounds pretty good...
It doesn't take any budget.
And since they only get called when we don't have enough people, they won't be bothersome.
Good. Sounds all right.
Then...
But, if they're going to do it, why don't they work a little harder?
Coming to all the rehearsals...
Excuse me?
Staying from 9AM to 6PM, standing without budging...
After all the rehearsal space is small.
They'd just be standing and listening. Like the dead.
Ahh, taking occasional *notes would be acceptable. (*notes on the piece being performed)
And then I could give them some homework on what they learned from that day's practice.
I'd be the judge of what was good.
And because they are practice players, they can't quit whenever they want.
They can't get paid. They can't practice.
They'd be just standing around for a year.
Good. Sounds really great.
If anyone wants to participate like that, let them all come.
Because I'm totally open.
So Maestro, what I'm trying to...
Oh, and by the way, I've already decided the performances for the year.
They are all *ekwan. (*e = 2/ double woodwinds)
All the people that I've picked will be able to cover it.
There will be absolutely no reason for that group to set foot on stage.
No way! No way!
What does he take us for?
He's not going to pay us or let us perform.
So why stand us stand us there? Are we livestock?
Yes, I figured it was preposterous...
Why? I think it's okay.
What?
An opportunity is an opportunity.
If people are needed, we can step in.
He said the repertoire has been decided for the year.
He said they're all *ekwan! (*ekwan: e = 2/ double woodwinds)
Teacher, what is *ekwan? (e = 2/ double windwoods)
Oh, that's the orchestra instrument formation.
The number of windwoods that used as the basis to perform the piece.
Ekwan requires 2 of each of the standard windwoods
*Sakwan requires 4 of each of the standard windwoods. (*sa = 4/ quadrupal the windwoods)
The number of other instruments is relative to that.
See? He's already made the decision to chose ekwan pieces..
Why would he choose any score that required any more people? It's hopeless.
But, if it's ekwan, then they'll need to play Mozart and Haydn...
...mostly from the Classical era.
People in Korea like the Romantic scores.
Even with Beethoven, you're already looking at *samkwan. (sam = 3/ triple windwoods)
What are you talking about Can you speak plainly?
What are your favorite scores?
Tchaikovsky and Dvorak
See even those scores require *samkwan or *sakwan. (*triple or quadrupal woodwinds)
Ekwan is insufficient.
So, technically, we could be needed.
Really? We might get to perform?
Ha ha! There's hope!
Well, who knows, with Maestro Kang's character -
He may just go with his Haydns and Mozarts.
Oh, then, what can we do? It's hopeless!
But if it's a city symphony, don't they have to mix in what the citizens like?
He can't just stubbornly play what he wants.
Okay then, let's take a calculating look -
What falls into *ekwan? (*double winds)
Huh? Let's see.
Beethoven No. 5.
That takes double parts.
Beethoven?
No, in the 4th movement the flute and piccolo come in and then bass and double bass?
So, technically it's *samkwan. (*triple winds)
No, no, it's not.
It's not *samkwan. (*triple woodwinds)
Are you going somewhere?
Oh, to practice.
Maestro Kang said I needed to master the piece perfectly for tomorrow.
But you just need to hear it once, and you're good. What do you need to practice for?
Sit down and help us figure this out.
No, let him go ahead and go.
He's in a different class. High class. Low class.
Gun woo, go.
Being a professional is different. You have to practice like crazy.
But still, stay a while.
Tell us what Maestro Kang told you.
Are you really leaving?
Stop what you're doing. He has to practice.
Go, go, go.
Let's finish talking about this.
What else is there?
Oh Miss Kim.
I'm glad to hear from you.
Oh, of course.
I made Team Manager.
You don't need to congratulate me.
Okay, I'll be there.
Team Manager Kim.
I need you to sign this.
You need to approve this so I can leave.
I'm telling you the layout is kind of strange.
It needs to be clearer, sharper.
No?
This is plenty sharp.
Okay, then just sign the one underneath.
What's this?
I brought it to you this morning. You haven't looked at it?
Could be...
Hey, where are you going?
Team Manager Kim.
I'm just asking you to sign it!
Why is that so hard?
I need to know the contents before I can sign or not.
Didn't I tell you to look at it? Since this morning, I've been telling you to look at it.
Why do you keep using informal speech? This is the office.
I've told you we need to follow the formalities.
I know you speak to me formally during the day when people are around.
But if you totally change just because it's evening,
and there aren't many people around, I feel uncomfortable.
Just because it's night... does this office become a cafe?
Your work attitude is lacking.
*Where are you going? (*informal speech) Aren't you going to sign this?
I'm meeting someone for coffee.
I'll be right back. Shortly.
Oh, yeah. Well...
"The boss is No. 1" That's what you said.
Anyhow, I enjoyed dinner last night.
Although, I admit it was a little awkward.
Hey you.
Sign it.
Mr. Cha, would you go on in first?
Just now...
Did you just say "Hey you"?
Yeah.
I'm saying it for the last time.
Sign it.
Listen here, Mr. Park.
I really didn't want to go there, but...
You won't do it?
Fine.
Huh? What's this?
Listen, you crazy bastard...
If you make Team Leader at a young age,
do you dump all your work on subordinates and take off to have coffee?
Is this a cafe, you bastard?
If you get to a high position by cheating, then shouldn't you work harder?
You step on your subordinates, kiss up to the management,
...avoid responsibility.
Aren't you ashamed to live like that in front of your children.
You little hyena.
Oh, Hyung. *Sunbae (*Senior)
It seems like you're really angry right now.
Yeah.
I'm really angry.
So I'm thinking of telling the management.
I'm quitting because of you.
You need to be fired.
Only then, can this company survive.
Doesn't that sound good?
Well...
Pick it up.
Throw it away.
Ah, okay.
It's cleaned up, right?
Yes.
You should clean up and live straight from now on.
You smell, you're dirty, you're annoying, among the female employees, you're the worst.
So, why do you peel off your socks any old place.
*Sunbae... (*Senior)
Are you really planning to quit?
To do what?
To play in an orchestra, why?
Take it, you punk. My arm's getting sore.
Do you even know what that is?
A trumpet mute.
Punk...
A know-it-all to the end.
I heard you weren't able to practice fully because you didn't have one.
It was expensive, so use it carefully.
Well...
Does it feel good being the only one making it out of here?
Since you're going to be alone, you're going to have to work ruthlessly hard.
Use that piece ruthlessly, practice ruthlessly, ruthlessly eat well, and ruthlessly live well.
You ruthless punk.
Me...
I'm ruthlessly going to turn around and leave.
I'm glad to see you all.
I want to tell you just one thing.
For those who think you're set being in the City Orchestra for a million years, there's the door.
If it's not the best, I have no problem cutting and changing.
Every practice will be an audition.
And furthermore...
Who's place is that?
Kang Gun Woo.
Didn't Kang Gun Woo come?
Good afternoon, Maestro.
Why are you all here?
We're the *practice players. (*understudies)
Practice players? What are you talking about?
And since they'll only get called when we don't have enough people, they won't be bothersome.
That's good. That's okay.
What's going on? Why are you so late?
I apologize.
First of all, go sit in your seat.
Listen Miss Du Ru Mi.
Yes.
I belong with these people.
This is the group I wish to join.
What did you say?

If you've made it into the City Orchestra with your talent...
What I want to do is conduct.
Inside here... how desperately do you want it?
Maestro Jung Myung Hwan, please accept me as your pupil.
This one is a bit special.
We're overlooking it because we know you have a guilty conscience, but...
What are we crap, beggars? Don't look down on us. Take us seriously. We'll listen.
Get out.
She'll won't have the operation, and she'll work hard in the orchestra until she loses her hearing.
Ludvig Von Du Ru Mi...
What is this?
They say Mozart did this too.
Have you tried doing it like Mozart?
What's this?
Do Sol...
What are you doing?! Say it in chords!
C, D, E flat, F sharp, A flat!
Do you know what it means to be hard of hearing?
It means the music disappears. Your violin...
Hey you, stand right there!
What the hell use is your age?
Can't you see when a person is hiding behind a curtain?
Hey!
Du Ru Mi!
