Episode 7
It's a pleasure to meet you.
Those who believe their assignment in the City Symphonic Orchestra is guaranteed for life,
please leave immediately.
Hello, Teacher.
Why in the world did you come here?
We're permanent members.
Permanent members? What do you mean by...
It won't cost anymore and they'll be of use when we need a hand.
Good, not a bad idea.
What about you?
Why are you so late?
I'm sorry.
Just go to your seat.
Look here, Miss Du Ru Mi.
Yes?
My place is here.
I'm going to be play together with them.
What?
Whether it's the fool who's joking or
the fool who follows, throwing everything away...
Whatever. I understand, so please go wait outside.
Huh? Weren't we told to stand like this for a year...
Please, go outside!
Gun Woo, you're going to have a talk with me later, no?
It's nothing.
I don't know anybody inside there anyway.
You don't know anybody so you come out here?
So you played truant in school because you didn't know anybody?
Just because you don't know anybody in the army, does that mean you can walk off the base? Huh?!
Hyung, do you not understand?
I came to seek revenge for you.
This kid is getting crazier as time goes by.
And yet, as time passes, I'm starting to like this kid.
Come here!
- Take revenge! Try and take revenge! - Ow! Ow! It hurts!
- Take revenge! Come on and try and hurt me! - Ow! Ow!
If the introductions are over, here, take one.
What is this?
What do you think it is? It's sheet music.
- We need to start practicing. - What?
Practicing already on the first day?
Didn't Kang Mae tell us to stand aside?
So?
If the conductor wants to see our talents one day, what are you going to do then?
Just stand against the wall?
Why did you join the City Symphonic Orchestra?
Why did you become a permanent member?
Wasn't it to participate in concerts?
So you have to practice.
Yes, you're right. Let's practice.
We might have received terrible scores in our auditions,
but with practice one day,
we'll be exactly like those people with incredible talent.
No, that day will never come.
Was there ever an instance when the worst student,
after a few months of focused studying,
became the first in his class?
Then because of that, Professor, we don't need to practice even more.
However, if you ignore everything else and just concentrate on one subject,
then you can, at least, get into the top ten.
That's why I gave this to you.
That's Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 Choral.
Miss Du Ru Mi did a public survey when she put together the Special Project Orchestra.
It's the number one most wanted played classical music.
Hence, there's a good possibility this will be chosen for the City Symphonic Orchestra's first concert.
So, let's do our best to study this piece.
Our skills might not be up to par,
but the conductor will most definitely ask to play this.
Please give me one too,
so that I can also practice and play.
That's right. By the way,
you did talk to the conductor before you came out here, right?
It looked like he hadn't a clue a minute ago.
Not yet...
You silly child.
Right now, apologizing is more important than practicing.
Excuse me for just a minute.
Why'd you come?
You sent me a text message.
Are you kidding me?
Why'd you choose to become a permanent member?
Just because...
Why? Do you feel embarrassed to admit it yourself?
Should I spell it out for you?
Kang Mae paved your way to become an official member,
but you chickened out immediately after being surrounded by professionals.
And you find it a nuisance committing yourself practicing repeatedly, so you escaped.
And it's better to be a *snakes head than a **dragon's tail. (*best of the worst) (**worst of the best).
Isn't that why you came?
What?
Make sure Saturday is free of commitments.
Saturday? I have a performance at "Don't Tell Papa."
This practice is a secret meeting.
If Kang Mae finds out,
he'll say we're cheating and doing it via unorthodox methods.
Then we'll all have our heads cut off.
Ahh, yes, yes.
Have you seen Kang Gun Woo?
Ahh, yes. I think I saw him go that way.
Excuse me, please don't scold him too much.
He's still young.
Why would I scold him?
It's my finger's fault.
He was the one who called Gun Woo to come and audition.
I want to cut him off.
Look, this situation isn't making any sense to me.
Why are you being like this to me?
If we're really going to talk about this,
the conductor, at the last concert, came and asked me
"What's your definition of happiness?" and said I should act accordingly.
I'm happiest when I'm conducting an orchestra filled with people I'm comfortable with.
That's why I came.
Am I not allowed to do that?
In other words, you like playing around.
That's what you mean.
Hey!
Think about it.
If you're so talented, that after one audition, you're able to reach that high a level,
you should work harder climbing up. Why are you crawling back down?
What am I going to do up there?
What I wish most to do is to conduct, not become a paid official orchestra member.
I want to become a permanent member with all of you.
Go to college, study, learn conducting.
That's why I came here.
But...
is this something you should get angry at me about?
Angry?
No, at first I was really proud of you.
But after we failed, and you got accepted,
I envied you.
In fact, I was envious of you.
Because you have the talent, and because you're a nice guy,
I thought I'd be able to congratulate you sincerely.
But now I'm angry, just like you said.
Aren't you ambitious?
Don't you want to improve?
What's improvement?
To become outstanding and famous, is that so important to you?
Seeing you now,
I realize it isn't niceness;
you're just an outright fool.
What?
Okay. Great! We'll end there.
It's been a while since Miss Du Ru Mi has said something to my liking.
You're intelligent; I've changed my opinion of you.
We're in the middle of a discussion right now.
I thought you wanted to be a permanent member?
The official members are in the midst of rehearsing, aren't you taking a look?
Where are you going?
I have to go and participate too.
I'm one of the permanent members.
That's right!
Then I'm sure you'll remember this: I can fire any permanent member I deem fit.
Get out.
Who cares if you're a permanent member? Get out of here.
I'm sorry I didn't speak with you about this beforehand, but...
Do you know why I put you with those people?
Because you're so talented? No. You're still lacking talent.
I put you with them to undergo major improvements, because you lack talent.
It'd be transformative if your pride was stepped on and broken.
But you just ran away from all that?
I didn't run away.
Oh, really? Then what was it?
Affection? Loyalty? Something along those lines?
Sure, I didn't think that you'd be such an immature fool,
falling prey to something like that, but...
Miss Du Ru Mi said some really good things to you a moment ago.
Ambition...
You seem to think it's about being outstanding and an honorable pursuit, but it's not.
Inside here, your desires, how hotly do they boil?
Ambition is nothing else but strength.
The strength to overcome any difficulty in the most tiring and challenging times.
That cold-heartedness!
You don't have any of that.
Don't judge me so quickly.
If I didn't have that, would I have quit my policeman's job and come here?
You probably quit because you wanted to fool around.
You said you wanted to take that trash back there and conduct.
That's your "happiness".
You always measures others with your own ruler,
but everyone's style is different.
Those who use cold-heartedness and any means necessary to become successful,
of course they exist.
But I'm sure, there are also those who improved through their love of learning.
Look here,
does it seem like I'm here to have a discussion with you?
Regardless of whether you're a permanent or official member, I'm your employer.
I'm firing you because you are of no value to me.
Do I need a reason?
Then I'll show you.
Any means? Cold-heartedness? Ambition?
It's not because I lack those things that I haven't shown them.
Fine. If that's what you need, I'll show you.
In keeping with your style.
Do what you want.
Why hasn't Gun Woo come in?
Is Kang Mae lecturing him?
He needs to be scolded.
He's so cocky.
Huh?! Park Hyuk Kwon!
Sunbae, you went for the audition?
How in the world did you pass the test?
Your talent is about the same as mine!
Later. We'll talk later.
I'm sorry. Please, continue practicing.
Even you were accepted. Looks like I shouldn't belittle myself. If they let anyone in...
- Do you know these people? - Ahh, yes.
We used to be in the same orchestra.
But they weren't selected after our concert, so they're a little irritated.
Ahh, I see. But shouldn't the concert master be saying something?
Leave it alone. They're probably uncomfortable too.
Sit. Sit down. What's there to be awkward...
Oh gosh! Who's instrument is this?
I'm sorry. I'm very sorry.
I said that I was sorry. What? No response? I'm sorry.
Look here!
Do you even know how much that instrument costs?
Well, all musicians own expensive instruments.
The color's all faded and it's kind of shabby looking,
so it's probably not even worth much.
It was manufactured in 1890 by Antonio!
Antonio...
It's expensive. It's over 100 million Won.
I'm terribly sorry. He doesn't know.
But he's not a bad man, so please just forgive him.
Whatever. Please just leave the room.
It's currently a little crowded.
And thanks to you people the atmosphere is ruined.
What a joke. We're members too.
Permanent members.
Professor instructed us to come. That's why we're here.
Ahh, Professor said so.
So he told you to be disruptive, noisy and destroy instruments during rehearsal?
He instructed you to do this?
No, he didn't say that.
But "destroying instruments"? You're being a little too harsh.
Professor Kwon, please look very carefully at that instrument.
There's a scratch, isn't there?
It's fine.
Please look again.
There was such a loud noise. There's no way that it could be fine!
Why is this person trying to instigate things?
Jung Jin, that's enough.
I must say what needs to be said!
Frankly, permanent members observing us,
even with the conductor's permission, is unacceptable.
But I know,
after seeing you perform and still failing,
you've developed an inferiority complex, which I've so far tolerated.
What!? Inferiority complex!?
I'm sorry.
We did feel indignant.
So kindly do us the favor and excuse us to be observers.
Why is Teacher apologizing?
To think you used to be a concert master, what's with your behavior?
We did turn up uninvited.
Yes, it's because an elder is speaking that I am being patient.
So please, I quietly beg you.
We are musicians. We are sensitive.
First Violin, sir?
Well then.
"We are musicians."
What are we then, if not musicians? Artists? Athletes? Poets? Aren't I right?
We should be on the same level.
Sit down, sit down.
Teacher, sit down. Everyone, sit down.
Our level is equal. I'm going to sit down. Let's sit down.
I've been fired. I'm going to go cool my head.
Teacher, you fired Gun Woo?
KNOCK!
Official members can only be fired after negotiation.
How could you, on his first day in the City Symphonic Orchestra...
Didn't he say he's a permanent member?
And that's odd...
When I saw you fighting, I thought you and I were on the same side.
I did it for him.
He doesn't understand his talent and didn't want to challenge his abilities.
So I just sort of threatened him. Yet you carried out the punishment!
He'll pollute the entire orchestra.
Gun Woo is a smart kid.
He understands with just a scolding.
But Miss Du Ru Mi,
I don't think now is the time for you to be worrying about Gun Woo.
Medical report.
You remember, don't you?
You really took my words for truth and became a permanent member.
Sure, I don't believe it's due to lack of intelligence.
A low IQ doesn't mean that music can't be created.
But being deaf is a little too much.
Medical report.
I don't have one.
Then you should leave, since you're not normal.
It's because I'm fine that I don't have one.
How can you have a diagnosis when there's nothing wrong with you?
A diagnosis of "perfectly healthy", have you ever seen one of those?
Really? Then we'll just confirm that.
Fine then...
But the doctor will be busy at this hour...
Hello?
Is that you, Dong Gil?
It's me, Gun Woo.
You know that patient I sent the other day?
Yes, the one that had ringing in her ears.
How is she?
Serious.
By the way, she begged me to keep it secret from you.
So don't let on you know.
It's a tumor on the auditory nerve.
Apparently, she's been having terrible headaches for a while.
It's all been because of the tumor.
It would have been better if she had come in a little earlier.
It's late.
If we perform surgery, the tumor can be removed,
but she'll still lose her hearing. We can't save her hearing.
If she continues in that state, maybe she'll be able to hear for another four months.
Didn't you say she was a musician?
Yes.
I told her, we should at least look for another way to save her hearing, but...
Check the history of the patient and get prepped.
I don't know what's going on with her right now. It's difficult.
Mmm.
Okay, I understand.
Why are you so thick-headed?
Uh, well.
I didn't intentionally…
So, I heard you weaseled out of paying the fee.
If you go to a doctor and get an exam, you should pay the fee.
Are you so cheap that you'd make such a fuss over a measly 13,000 Won?
My friend was embarrassed.
I thought, since you referred me, I didn't have to pay it.
I did pay it, though. I paid it later and apologized.
I was wondering what he could have been telling you.
Okay, I got it. So, you can leave now.
Okay, thank you.
She doesn't want to have surgery.
She said since she's going to lose her hearing anyway,
she'll work hard in the orchestra and perform while she still can hear.
And, later, when she starts to lose her hearing, she'll get surgery then.
Anyway, she seemed really strong and positive.
I don't' know if that's her personality or maybe she just doesn't understand.
Wait a minute.
What did I go in there for?
Gun Woo.
I got completely sidetracked by Maestro Kang.
Strong, positive? That is just being dumb.
But, I guess everyone lives their own way.
Ludwig Van DuRuMiche.
What's up with him?
Hi!
The money left over after I bought the flute.
Why is this all that's left?
I bought a nice second-hand one, although it's still only nickel silver.
And, I bought a hat.
I'll work some part-time jobs and pay it back.
And…
I applied for the musician's scholarship competition.
So, Yi Deun, does this mean you've gotten your act together now?
What about school?
If I was back in school, would I be here at this time of day?
I need to re-take the placement exam.
Punk, you still speak so disrespectfully.
You always leave out one syllable.
In Korean, do you know how important that one little syllable is?
Eat your food! Eat your food, please.
Do you know how much trouble we got into because of you?
Since you went to the Mayor, Kang Mae has been treating us...
How much do we get paid as permanent members?
1 million Won? 2 million Won?
There's no money.
It's unpaid.
What? We're not getting paid? Are you crazy?
Do you know how much we could be earning if we were working all this time?
Would you please be quiet?
Student, if you look at the bigger picture here,
we're carving the foundation of art.
You learned that in school, right?
Then...
These are pros?
Yi Deun.
Hearing you say some corny thing about art, it seems I'm right.
Ahjussi, the way I see it, your noise is a lot harder to listen to.
We're just having a conversation here.
You're only screech, screech, tuning your instruments right now.
Do you listen to strings being tuned and say,
"Ahh, beautiful art!" ?
May I ask about your school?
Hey Jung Jin.
What university are you attending?
You're unbelievable.
What kind of lame '88 attitude is that, demanding to know my school, Ahjussi!?
I'm just trying
to see what kind of educational foundation you have.
It's a simple question that reveals basic information.
I'm a high school grad, junior high grad,
junior high dropout?
Hey, Jung Jin.
That's enough.
All right. Basics?
I went to Suk Ran Junior high and dropped out my second year.
And my name is Ha Yi Deun.
Mozart is my friend.
Beethoven is my student.
The symphonies all of you are playing,
they were all composed by me.
I'm the Father of the symphony.
Will that do?!
That's right, Ha Yi Deun, keep leaving out that syllable. Leave it out.
The basics starts with speech.
You should speak formally to an adult.
You think anybody who lives a certain number of years is an adult?
There are tons of people who act like children, even though their past thirty.
Like you.
Look here!
Be quiet!!
Don't pay attention to them, and just practice!
Why don't you be quiet!?
What are we, shit? Are we bums?
Don't look down on us, and don't ignore us!
We get it all!
Why are you here?
Hello. I'm Ha Yi Deun.
Get out.
Why did you bring her when you can't even control her?
All of you get out!
Embarrassing, pitiful…
What are you doing here instead of going in?
Huh? When did you come?
I was going to go see you when I had time, so this works out great.
How did you come?
Have you gotten your act together?
Why does everyone always ask me that?
No, I haven't yet, why?
That's why I got into it with those guys as soon as I got here.
What you are going to do about it?
Add that one syllable here, okay?
Did you fight?
We conversed a bit... my style
So you guys got kicked out?
Those people really do play very well.
They're pros.
Why are you all being like this?
Be confident!
We're practicing too, huh?
Beethoven No. 9 Choral!
I mean, if we just practice,
we could play as magnificently as those people.
Couldn't we?
It's times like this when we really need Gun Woo.
Gun Woo could really give them a lesson with his talents!
Maestro Jang!
I enjoyed your performance tonight!
Thank you.
You'll be returning to Europe immediately, right?
- Yes. - Then, when...
Just a minute.
I need to take a leak.
For a world-famous conductor... really!
He's really unceremonious.
That's right, it isn't easy being that way.
Pardon, are you Maestro Jung Myung Hwan?
Hello, my name is Kang Gun Woo.
I was in the recent Suk Ran City Orchestra project.
I played first trumpet.
I follow Conductor Kang Gun Woo.
Actually, I should say "followed" now.
Suk Ran City?
Kang Gun Woo is following Kang Gun Woo?
What is this?
The reason I'm seeking you out is,
I wanted to ask you how to learn conducting.
And also ask, in the study of music,
do you absolutely need an unbending will and selfish ambition?
Or can you pursue music with joy? I want to know that too
More than anything,
Please accept me as your protégé.
I will follow you tirelessly.
I'm really embarrassed to bring this up, but
A little while ago, Maestro Kang kicked me out...
You're disgracing yourself, Kang Gun Woo.
What am I doing?
It's not like you at all.
Why did you get kicked out?
Jung… Maestro Jung Myung Hwan.
Yes.
Look.
You were under Conductor Kang Gun Woo?
I'm super close friends with him!
You play like this with no formal training.
Wow, you're a genius.
I know it's easy to tease, but…
No, I'm serious. I think you're amazing.
In this world, the people who can pull off "Flight of the Bumblebee" worthy of recording,
you can count on one hand.
But you did that.
But what's more amazing is, how did Gun Woo take you on as a protégé?
He doesn't like geniuses.
Um, I wasn't exactly his protégé.
I just pleaded with him to teach me.
But, he kicked you out.
Why?
Is it impossible to learn music without cold-heartedness?
Huh?
Can't you pursue it with joy?
Isn't music originally joyful?
Well...
I suppose Mozart played around a lot.
But, do you know Allegri's Miserere?
That piece is absolutely beautiful.
But, the church said it was too pretty.
They hid the music, to only be played in church.
But a fellow heard that piece.
That piece which has nine melodies.
He heard it only once, and transcribed the music.
And he did it at fourteen years old.
Who? Was it you…
No, Mozart.
Ahh.
That's genius.
Only a man like that can play and work.
In a word, I'm too envious.
But, then…
When I wonder if Mozart was playing around when he was composing,
I don't think that's the case either.
What do you think Gun Woo would think?
Not you, Maestro Kang Gun Woo.
I don't know…
Shall we go ask him? Since we're not doing anything?
Excuse me?
Didn't you come to me as my protégé?
But your old teacher is Kang Gun Woo.
Then, I need to get his permission to take over.
I'll just change my clothes.
Maestro, Maestro…
What's the occasion?
Didn't you have a performance today?
Yes.
I am a bit tired, but I have something to show off to you.
I got a new protégé.
Isn't picking up protégés all over the place your hobby?
That's old news.
This one's kind of special.
Hey, come in.
Hey, hey! I said get in here.
Okay, after I've kicked you out, the best you can do is this guy?
Hey, hey... Listen to you, the “best you can do."
It's because you're so confused,
you'd throw out a diamond in the rough without realizing it
Diamond in the rough?
He's gravel.
Just for industrial use.
Okay!
Then you must be good merchandise.
You always state things contrary to how they are.
Do you have a dog?
No, dogs are a nuisance.
But I do have some tropical fish.
Be careful.
If that guy goes mad, tropical fish or whatever, he'll eat them all up.
Really?
Okay, how should we do this?
If it's okay with you, I'd like to give teaching him a go.
What do you want to do?
Do you want to learn from me
or do you want to learn from him?
I said I don't want him.
I didn't ask you.
I asked Gun Woo.
Hey, Kang Gun Woo two,
what do you think?
Do you want to come to me?
Then, do you want to go to him?
I don't intent to stay with anyone who says they don't want me.
Then let's do this.
One week.
Let's not make any sudden decisions.
For the week before I leave, why don't you guys give it careful consideration.
Just take him.
Listen you, it's an important life decision for this guy.
I said take him now!
Can you step out for a moment?
What are you doing there?
Just…
I'm not sleepy.
When did you come?
Just now.
You should have called me.
We're here now.
What are you going to do now?
I'll figure it out.
One of the seniors I know owns a music academy.
Shall I look for a position for you?
Why would you do that?
Don't you have to make a living?
Do I look to you like someone who can't make his own living?
I didn't go on probation because I wanted to play around.
Why do you see me in such a weird light?
I was just worried.
If you're going to be like that, then mind your own business.
Are you my mother?
Hey.
Mother?
I would have done a lot more if I were your mother.
I would have beat you silly when you quit your job with the police.
Audition?
I would have chased you down to practice and never let you sleep.
Probation?
I would have kicked you out of the house.
Even your aunt, Jung Hee Yun, was calling everywhere looking for you.
If I were your mother, I would have easily done all that.
Okay, should I act like your mother?
Do you want me to chase you with a stick and make you study conducting?
Hey.
Some people are wondering when they'll no longer be able to hear.
Mind my own business?
That's some really selfish whining.
It must be nice to be happy.
Do you think Mozart played around while he composed?
If you're not serious, does such beautiful music result?
Right? I'm the same.
I tried my very best, so I wouldn't fall behind you.
Lose one point for not bowing.
Minus ten for talking back.
When you were only getting points off for your behavior, it was hard not losing to you.
But what's my image to people?
That I'm naturally smart.
I have to look like I've got all the time in the world.
Nose bleed?
Even if it drips out, I have to sniff it back.
I have to hide a tired looking face behind makeup.
Why?
Because I'm naturally smart.
If they know that I'm trying this hard, you'll get bigger.
Then I'm going to get caught by you.
Then that's the end.
Are you trying to cheer me up?
But the way I look at him,
I think he's more like you than me.
How he's so picky about things.
And the way he just runs after things if he gets into them.
That's why I like him.
If he comes back to me in a week,
I'm going to take him on as my student,
without a doubt.
What's this?
This is too nice, I don't know how to act.
Do you feel bad that you're leaving?
Did you want to do some final things?
Fine, I'll get some nice treatment from you until you leave.
Gum.
Change the music.
To a CD.
I'm getting goose bumps.
How are you going to surprise me again if you're being so nice?
I thought about it all night…
If you approve, I just want to stay.
That's being mean to Jung Myung Hwan?
You shouldn't do that to a friend of mine.
Of course,
I'll go apologize, sincerely.
You're saying you're going to keep both Jung Myung Hwan and me.
That's cheating.
Are you thinking about your big debut already?
So that you'll have many people helping you?
If you want to get rid of me, I'll leave.
But I'm being sincere.
I want to stay.
Is that so?
Then be nice to me until you leave.
Napkin.
We practiced so much, I memorized the piece.
Yeah Mom. Nothing new?
I'm just living.
Yeah, I'll call back later.
Bye.
Yeah.
Come to my room
You can't hear me?
That's…bad. When did this happen? Today morning? Right now?
I told you I can hear. Stop making fun of me.
No, seriously you can't hear? I'm talking to you in a really loud voice.
What to do? Should I call an ambulance? Or 911?
I can hear the music over there.
Yes?
Then what did I say in the beginning?
You just moved your lips. What was I supposed to hear?
You don't know how to read lips?
You should have learned to, so you can live comfortably after you become deaf.
It looked like newspaper and desk.
You skipped the espresso.
Bring a newspaper and an espresso to my desk tomorrow morning.
Why should I?
I let you guys stay; you should pay back your gratefulness.
Du Ru Mi, do you like me?
What?
You seem to be talking back to me more lately.
If you have any feelings for me, get rid of them.
That's not love.
It's only your envy of me and the great musical talent I have.
They say it's an elegant complex.
If you take it in the terms of psychology…
You're mistaken.
Then, what is it? Are you mad at me?
There's a sick boy around me that I know.
Nothing fatal, but he's going deaf.
He's going to be deaf in six months, just like you.
I told you I'm not.
For the six months, even though he's going deaf, he's being cool about it.
So he can enjoy his hearing while it lasts.
But it was odd.
His weird energy and the happiness you see in him…
No, the word "weird" is an exaggeration.
He's not in his right state of mind, like you.
I'm leaving.
My story was long, right?
I called you here to give you this.
It's candy,
but it's supposed to be good for your ears. Savor it in your mouth.
I feel bad for making fun of you, so take it.
My hand is getting embarrassed.
Thank you.
But you should be careful when eating it,
it's two years expired.
How did someone like him ever appear in front of me!?
This is bubble gum.
How do you savor eating what's in a gumball machine?
They say "it's the thought that counts."
Maybe it'll turn into candy and maybe it'll help your ear, who knows.
Conductor, I've been to five different markets.
But the wine that you asked for really isn't there.
I did look around carefully. I asked around too, and I searched online…
Seriously, he's been killing me all day.
No, I was listening.
Yeah, yeah.
So find the wine no matter what.
And the music writing book, did you take it?
Why did you take my book without even asking?
So where is it? Your room?
Come here and put it back where it was right now!
You told me to buy the wine, ask for only one thing at a time!
Take care of the wine first.
You said you're going to be nice until you leave.
But what's this suddenly, no patience?
You better be nicer.
It's a pig pen in here. Why would he want to live like this?
Allegri's Miserere.
I couldn't get the wine.
I told the manager, so I'll check back in the morning.
What's this?
Did you copy it or did you do it by ear?
What's "by ear"?
Writing the music after listening to the music.
Did you do what Mozart did?
I tried, but it didn't work out too well.
I couldn't write the last couple measures.
How many times did you listen to it?
Once.
I heard Mozart did it too.
What is this?
Do, Sol.
In chords, those are actual note names. Didn't you learn in high school?
How many times must I tell you, I slept in music class.
Come over here.
What's this?
Do, Mi.
C major chord and E major chord!
What's this?
Do and F sharp.
What are you doing? I said say it in chords!
C, D, E flat, F sharp, G sharp!
Yeah, I don't know chords. I'm stupid! Are you happy!?
He has such an awesome talent, yet he hasn't done anything with it!
That idiot!
Teacher, I think someone's here.
Oh.
How are you?
Teacher, what are you…
He called me to come.
What can I do, but hurry and come here?
He has a hot temper.
Come in.
What is it? You said it concerns him.
I'll call you when we get there.
What are you doing?
Your teacher officially approved.
Huh?
He said he'll give you to me, that's okay right?
I'm not going out.
Yeah, I don't even expect that.
First of all, I'll figure out what school you'll attend.
I'll see you at the airport. I'm leaving.
It's what you wanted. Get in the best line.
Wow, the timing is awesome.
Hello?
Mom.
Gun Woo?
Yeah, my big son.
Where are you calling from? I don't recognize the number.
I'm at a pay phone.
I was really mean last time.
So what… you thought I wouldn't pick up?
Excuse me,
but I knew it was you the moment the phone rang. I'm telepathic.
There's no point of hiding it.
Then it'll be okay if we stay apart for a while.
Apart?
You going somewhere?
So, Maestro Kang did that?
You must have been hurt.
He just said I was musically untalented.
But still…
When are you leaving?
Tomorrow?
Yeah.
After I meet up with Teacher Jung, I'm going straight down to Busan.
My hometown.
It'll be more comfortable studying at home.
I'll have to find an academy there,
and Teacher Jung said he'd look into a school nearby.
The housing will be simple.
I'll have to move into the dorms after a couple weeks.
Hold on, it's going to be a couple months.
If I fail, I'll be twenty-six.
So what, you're on the right track.
When you said you're quitting the orchestra, I wanted to slap you until you thought straight.
But since you said you're leaving, I actually want to stop you now.
Why am I so selfish?
I'm like that too.
I don't want to leave either.
You just saying that makes me feel better.
My hands are sweating, right?
I'm crying for you, since you're leaving.
I remember when I first met you.
You were quite absurd then.
You should know that this is all because of me, right?
Of course.
I have good intuition you know.
When I first saw you, I had strong feelings that you'd make it big.
And I thought that I should become friends with you.
Good intuition. Good intuition?
Then guess,
what do you think is going to happen in a minute?
One minute...
Let me guess.
That...
What is it?
Lunar eclipse?
Do I find money?
Or…
What?
I wonder.
Um… kiss.
You shouldn't guess that.
I know.
Let's do it again.
Huh?
Start from the good intuition part again.
I won't guess it this time.
Bite them! They're publicly displaying their affection.
A deaf girl and an untalented musician. That's perfect.
Keep going.
Didn't you want to show the people walking around
what sort of relationship you're in?
We're in a good relationship, we're in love.
Go ahead, I'll applaud.
It's not like that.
We're not in a relationship yet.
It's just. It just happened and…
Then what?
You just skipped that step and made a move?
I instigated things.
I had feelings too; he's such a good guy.
And it's night, and the mood was…
I don't think they're going to do it in front of us.
They want to do it romantically alone.
We'll just have to leave then. Let's go.
You must have been really surprised.
But, we're not in a relationship?
I thought we were.
Relationship? What I meant was "officially" in a relationship.
I'm going to go take a shower and come back out.
Okay.
I burned a copy of our concert, do you want it?
Yeah.
Just follow me and it'll be okay.
Laundry, cleaned the floor and sofa, dishes washed, and breakfast.
All done, hopefully.
Teacher, I'm leaving.
Eat your meals. If you can't cook, then order in food.
It's not as good as home-cooked, but it's better than fast food.
And stop taking sleep pills. Continuing to take those isn't good for you.
When you can't fall asleep, drink some warm milk instead, okay?
What's the point of telling him?
I'm leaving.
Be quiet.
I told you to be quiet.
BE QUIET!
Thoven, why aren't you listening to me!? How dare you!?
It's the weekend, so you're going to have to wait a lot.
It's more than 6 hours, so eat this while waiting.
Let's go.
Thoven, let's go farther than usual on our walk today, okay?
How about the lake? Sound good?
Yes, let's go then.
Hello?
It's Dong Gil. That Du Ru Mi girl,
Yes.
I found out if there's a way to prevent her from going deaf, but…
Did you meet Maestro Jung Myung Hwan yet?
Not yet.
What about Maestro Kang? Did you give him his breakfast?
I don't know.
He said he's at the park.
He went for a walk, but his legs hurt, so he wants me to pick him up.
Yeah right, his legs hurt. He was walking around yesterday for hours.
Be nice to him, think that you're doing it for me.
I don't know…
I think it's because he's the same age as my older brother,
I seem to care for him more these days.
Yeah.
Ru Mi, I'll call you back later.
Why am I getting so nervous?
It's just Maestro Kang, he's not a guy.
Teacher.
Teacher, I'm here!
Teacher! TEACHER!
Teacher?
He didn't say much.
He must have been embarrassed.
Well, it was also the first time for me, hearing him say such things.
What?
What, you're leaving already for Busan?
You're packed already.
What did the teacher say?
Was it about me?
I don't know...
He told me not to tell you.
That day he called me over, do you know what was the first thing he said to me?
Gun Woo is a natural genius.
It doesn't seem like you mean it.
I don't want to mean it, but it seems like it.
He's crazy, that guy.
You said there aren't natural geniuses.
The natural genius everyone pictures doesn't exist,
but there's a type of natural genius that I think of.
Not like you, who's trying to become famous with those little skills of yours,
but a real natural genius.
He's got the skills, and he's not even scared of them.
His rival is Mozart.
He wrote down Allegri's Miserere.
There's nothing particular driving him.
His energy just sparks, shining out brightly.
But at the same time, he's so warm.
He's so human.
But the scary thing is, this is just the beginning.
What he's shown is the tip of the iceberg.
I can't even imagine what's deep inside him.
Why are you giving such a guy to me?
Is there something in the way?
That something is me.
As you know, I'm not famous.
I haven't the power to back someone nor had a student before.
I can't just put him in the school I choose, nor have a sponsor who can help him.
And I don't have the personality to go around asking for one.
If it's just me, I can live with it.
But I can't tell him to live this way too, saying it's the right way.
I can't force that on him.
I don't even think it's the right way these days.
I need someone to handle him well.
But someone like me, who's just normal, with no power, and stubborn, isn't it.
I'll ruin him.
And most of all, if he follows me, he'll end up just like me.
An almost perfect maestro.
An A-minor forever.
He's just too great to be left like that.
Now, even though he's late in opening his eyes,
help him fly high in a shorter time than it took for him to open them.
I'm asking you that favor.
Do you know who my rival is?
Your teacher, Kang Gun Woo.
But he doesn't even think twice about me.
He's just that great.
You saw right?
I'm always the one following him around.
But that Gun Woo, asked a favor.
Even when he almost got kicked out of school,
because he had no money, he never asked for help.
He had all the conductors at his feet.
This was the first time ever in my life I've heard him ask for a favor.
So you! Work with all the strength you have this time.
You have to go now.
Okay.
Let's go. Let's walk and talk.
Teacher, I'm here.
Teacher, didn't you hear me? Can you hear?
Um, Teacher.
Yeah, good job.
Not that, but…
I'm sorry, but I think that…
Yes, go to Gun Woo.
If you heard that and still wanted to be my student,
I would have thought badly of you.
You thought well.
You're acting how a student of Kang Gun Woo's should.
Thank you.
And honestly, I have a lot of students.
Didn't Gun Woo mention that?
That I have students piling up from different areas?
Okay.
Hold on, Ahjussi! Wait a minute, Ahjussi!
He said there's no hope…
for your hearing.
He researched it, but there's no way.
It's just going to break down.
How did you know?
The doctor is my friend, do you think he'd really hide it from me?
Yeah, I know.
I know that I won't be able to hear.
What are you saying? That hearing is not important?
I thought maybe the diagnosis was wrong, so I went to other hospitals.
They all said the same thing, that I'll become deaf.
Are you stupid or can you not imagine it?
Everyone around you is going to be mute.
You can't hold a complete conversation.
You won't be able to hear the birds in the hills; the waves have no sound.
You won't know if it's thundering, and a car could run you over.
And most importantly, music will disappear! Your violin!
What?
Is your heart pounding suddenly?
Now you're seeing the reality of it.
I know all that.
I already thought about all that.
I didn't really think so, but you must be stupid.
I gave you some warnings before because it was cute seeing you so energetic,
but forget it.
You're an idiot.
Definitely.
It suits you quite well.
Hey! You stop right there.
Who are you…
to say that to me?
Does it seem like I was smiling inside, just cause I was on the outside?
How did you grow up?
You learned to only see the curtains, not look what they're covering?
What curtains? You don't have a curtain.
You're exactly as you seem, very simple.
You do have a theme though.
I'm a great woman.
This kind of road block? I'm not going to flinch.
You don't even know what a real road block is.
Yet you act so cool, as if you've experienced it and moved passed it.
Put bluntly, it's stupid and simple. Yet you have this ridiculous vision
of yourself which doesn't suit you.
The reality of it just didn't hit me yet.
You probably didn't want it to hit you.
I didn't know the way to process what's happening.
Yeah? Then I'll show you the way.
You see the lake?
It's dirty, right?
It's very deep, and it's bottomless.
And to add to that, it's silent in there.
You can't hear anything, you'll probably want to die.
No, you might actually even die.
No one will help you. And no matter how hard you try to get back up, you won't make it.
That's what reality is and what the real road block is.
If you pass that road block, then you'll become strong.
It's perfect.
Jump on in.
See, in the end, it's all just an act.
I will.
Hey! Du Ru… Du Ru Mi!
Hey! Du Ru Mi!

That's why I can't do a joint concerto.
Why don't you test out the skills of the second orchestra?
I'm looking at the positive possibilities and taking this in. Let's try it.
Can I call you "Hyung"?
You!
What are you doing?
Did you not practice?
Did he just play the wrong tune?
What's wrong with him?
Kim Gab Yong, starting tomorrow you don't have to come in.
There was a car accident.
Car accident?
I don't have Alzheimer's disease.
Grandpa!
I'll fight it till the end.
When you play classical music, you lose the taste for alcohol.
I'm the one who conducts classical music, the music that makes you lose taste for alcohol.
Where were you?
I was looking for you.
Where were you wandering!?
I wasn't… I wasn't able to breathe.
