Go bite them. They're guilty of spoiling the atmosphere of the society.
A deaf and an idiot. What a perfect couple.
Du Ru Mi, are you fond of me?
If you have any fondness for me it's best you give up on it early.
That is not love.
But a longing for superiority.
I think you're mistaken.
Student, what flavor milk is this?
Is it strawberry flavor?
It is. Just look at the packaging and you'll know.
It can't be! I've been drinking plain milk.
Gun Woo is a genius. He is capable and has the guts.
He lives in Mozart's world.
If he follows me, he'll end up like me.
A lonely and proud conductor. Never be able to integrate into the main stream.
There's a tumor in my brain and it requires surgery.
But I'll still become deaf.
Anyway she'll be deaf. She says she wants to treasure the time she has now.
When the time comes and she goes deaf, she'll go for treatment.
She looks to be very strong.
Episode 8
Do you know what that means?
The people around you will become mute.
You can't hear them talk.
Can't hear the birds, the waves, even lightning will just be a flash of light.
Even the car will just zoom pass you.
The most important thing is music will vanish. Your violin.
Why? Is your heart racing now?
Looks like I finally got to you. At least you understand.
Yah, stand right there.
What are you? What right do you have to say this to me?
Have you wasted these years growing up?
You obviously haven't been through much testing.
Just a pretense, acting cool, acting nonchalant.
To put it, pure ignorant. And you wish to become the vanity of the nonchalant women.
I did not consider that.
I think you don't want to think about it.
I don't know what to do.
Is it? Then let me help you. Jump in.
See the lake? Big, isn't it.
Very deep, borderless and boundless. And it's a pitch of black space.
No one will help you. No matter how much you struggle, you'll still die.
That is the real meaning of hopelessness. It's your call to reality.
Only by going through that will you become stronger.
Jump.
Look, you only know how to act nonchalant.
I'll jump.
Du Ru Mi! Du Ru Mi!
What should I do?
You foolish Du Ru Mi.
Du Ru Mi.
Where are you?
Anyone?
Is anyone there? Hello?
What's it?
What happened?
Yes.
There's someone who fell into the water. It's already been a minute.
Then why are you still standing here? Don't you know how to swim?
Du Ri Mi
Du Ri Mi. Du Ru Mi, wake up.
So you actually know how to drive.
Looks like you can't swim.
Yah, you're too much.
After “forcing” someone to jump into the lake you don't rescue me.
If it wasn't for that Ahjussi just now, I would have died there.
What's with the pole?
You wanted me to grab onto it?
Didn't you pass out?
I don't know.
Don't know if I passed out or if I really wanted to die.
I saw a performance. A quartet performance.
Because it was in the water, I couldn't hear a thing.
Then you were experiencing the feeling of losing your hearing.
Is it?
It was like what I'd imagined. Pitch black. As if I were inside a cave.
The silence wasn't too bad either.
It felt very peaceful.
But...it was a little lonely.
No, very lonely.
Like being given up on by the whole world.
Here, please.
How can there so many kinds?
The type of grapes, climates and soils are all different, hence there is a huge variety.
Is this the best red wine that Germany has?
Yes.
How much is it?
14,500 Won.
What about this one?
This is 13,500 Won.
Looks like it isn't this one. How much is this one?
This is 9,500 Won. Why don't you take this one?
No, looks like its not this one.
Maybe this one. How much is this?
If you want cheaper ones, there are 1,800 Won ones here.
Is it?
Come over to see it.
Listen!
I'll just have that one.
The bottle is 14,500 Won.
Okay.
Are you giving it to someone?
Yes. Please wrap it nicely.
It's to give to a teacher that I want to serve for a lifetime.
Should I put it on installment for you?
Forget it.
Ok!
Did Teacher cook this himself?
Wow, soup that Kang Mae cooked personally... Can't believe I get to taste it!
Are you naturally that stupid?
Just a few words of shoving and you really jumped in.
Didn't you think that you could lose your life?
You asked me too.
And you said I was only acting to be cool.
Do you believe that?
I only went a little overboard with the warnings that's all. You're too much…
Then what about you?
Why did you want to give me a lecture?
Just a mere band member, whether she lives or die, what does that have to do with you?
Isn't your nickname, Iron-hearted?
You done?
Teacher, when I jumped in, what did you think about?
Were you looking around to see whether there were any witnesses?
If there was no one, you'd have though of jumping in, right?
Unfortunately, someone ran over and you were shocked.
Afraid that you'd be accused of masterminding a suicide, right?
Did you fix your sights on my violin?
After I'm gone, you'd sell it off?
Get a small fortune.
Right?
I thought,
I would never be able to see you again.
I mean to say I would never be able to make a fool out of you for kicks.
What are you so anxious about?
Ah.
This room is a little warm.
How come I'm sweating so much.
Go have a shower.
What? Shower?
Didn't you jump into the smelly water?
The whole room smells of it.
Hurry go shower and get clean.
So frustrating. The clothes are all wet.
The clothes are a little big.
What are you doing here?
Oh, that…
I just had a shower, but the clothes were all wet…
Shower? Here? Why?
Because...I fell into the water.
So the clothes were soaked. Teacher...
It's because of a car accident.
Car accident?!
Do you want additional trouble? Shut up.
Right, car accident.
Didn't I go pick Teacher up?
But suddenly…
It was something like, she suddenly couldn't hear.
Right, can't hear anything.
Yes, tinnitus. The car just suddenly banged into...
Then? Did you get hurt?
No. I didn't get hurt.
Hit by a car and flew straight into the lake.
Oh right, lake, hence I was drenched.
But I just saw your car outside.
I didn't see any scratches.
That is because…
The one that was wrecked was the car that was coming from the opposite side.
Why are you interrogating us?
Are you suspecting we're lying?
No, I was only anxious.
Then what's up with you?
Why are you back so soon?
Did you get kicked out by Jung Myung Hwan so fast?
It's for you.
I mean... this is my lesson fees.
I wish to learn from you.
Why?
Because...
Did you hear something?
Yes, from Teacher Jung Myung Hwan.
That bad guy.
He says you were speaking ill of me.
You said I was ignorant, didn't understand danger, have bad skills and don't know about hardship.
You said that right?
I can't take that lying down.
So I want to show it to you.
I will learn all your conducting skills.
And I want you to admit yourself.
That Kang Gun Woo is not a bad child.
Please prepare yourself mentally.
Why do I have to teach you?
I want to be a temporary band member in the orchestra.
After that to continue studies and work my way into the university.
Learn how to do conducting.
Get a huge award and get recognition from everyone.
But I did not ask for your life plan.
I will not do a losing business...
I want to be a famous conductor, and after that return to look for you.
And tell the world, this is the man who nurtured me.
Without this person, I would not be who I am.
The world's best conductor is not Jung Myung Hwan, but this man.
The great Maestro Kang Gun Woo.
I want to tell that to the world.
Don't smile.
Let's have a toast.
I'll go get the glass.
What are you doing, drinking in the day. There's no need.
Hyung.
My older brother is about the same age as you.
I'll just making a casual call.
I only have a older sister, no younger brother.
I'll serve you my whole life.
Loyalty.
He plays it so well.
He was called here specially by teacher. Looks like he was an ex-band member.
Is he famous?
He received the acclaimed Grand Award of US for the violin.
He had a solo concert in London.
He was the first Korean to be admitted into Juilliard University.
His main activities now are in Russia.
Simplify it.
Anyway, he's an outstanding person.
Outstanding? That one I get.
So, he's outstanding.
What are you doing? Didn't you practice?
Compared to last year, there's no improvement.
Are you taking the world tour as an excuse to have fun?
Sorry.
I'll do it again.
Again.
Even someone as great as him got scolded. Aren't we just commoners?
Orchestra and choir combined.
Looks like our fates have ended.
My butt is calling you. Let me be your cushion.
But teacher Kim Gab Yong has been called to attend this time's performance.
So we…
Teacher has 30 years experience.
And I only have 10 years experience in a bar.
The difference is as great as a marathon length.
42.15 kilometer.
A dead end.
And Teacher Kim is just replacing a member who can't attend due to an emergency.
But why is Teacher not here?
- Where did he go? - What's wrong?
He said he was going to the toilet just now.
How come he isn't back yet? Today is the preview.
He's been in the toilet for a long time.
I'll go look for him.
Teacher?
Teacher Kim Gab Yong?
Where are you, Teacher?
Teacher?
Teacher.
What are you doing here? You have to attend the preview performance.
Ah yes...today is my first day at work.
I haven't been able to find the exit.
Can you direct me?
Today we are in the library, not the going to the practice room.
Have you forgotten?
You say that there's a performance on the first day of work?
Seoul Orchestra. No wonder its so famous. A cut above.
Teacher, this is not the Seoul Orchestra.
It's Seok Ran.
And why are you suddenly using the polite form with me.
I was a little sleepy earlier on,
And suddenly I started to recall the past.
Right...the rehearsal has started, has it?
Give me a space.
Why did you come? Aren't you going to school?
Aren't there exams?
This is the library.
I just came down from reading upstairs.
Is that guy Yong Jae Yun?
Passable look.
Keep quiet.
Are you sure?
I've a slight case of dementia.
No, not completely dementia yet.
I heard that there's some problem with the brain,
And the possibility of having dementia very high.
Grandpa, what are you doing?
You're not coming out?
Let me tell you, Grandpa.
This is the ladies room.
I waited so long for you and you didn't come out. I though you dropped into the toilet bowl.
What're you doing? You want to wash your hands? Do you want me to help you?
Why aren't you studying?
You answer me first.
What's my name, Grandpa?
The mistake was just once.
Don't take people for a fool.
I know.
But Grandpa still hasn't said my name. What's my name?
Your name? Aren't you Vivaldi?
I was just joking with you, Yi Deun.
I'm not a goner yet.
I really thought you had dementia! Scared me.
I don't have dementia. How can that be?
Who do you think I am? I am Kim Gab Yong.
Think you're so great, what a joke.
A joke?
Who told you I had dementia?
No one said so, I just assumed it since you're of age.
You, didn't you see the sign at the back?
The Ladies was full so I came over. Can't I?
If you can't hold it, then go to the grass and ease yourself.
He probably didn't hear us right?
How moving.
Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, choir and orchestra.
Every time I hear it, I am strangely touched.
Take it as the first piece for our orchestra.
Yes, after surveying the people we found that,
They would like to hear this to be the first piece for the orchestra.
Teacher, did you hear what I said?
Let this be the theme piece of our orchestra.
This can't be done.
The piece is too difficult.
How can it be too difficult.
Our Seok Ran city has already voiced their opinions.
The members have just started practicing.
We must start from something simple. The difficulty level must be raised little by little.
But the choir has to practice solo separately.
- And we require a lot more performers. - Aren't there a lot of performers?
Those outstanding performers the previous time round.
Even if the real performers use the balls of their legs to play, it would sound better than them.
What I see, I think their level is not too bad too. How come you're…
Ah yes...I've heard...
Every time you conduct an orchestra and choir combined performance,
Something unhappy happens.
How did that one come about?
When you conducted for the Carnegie orchestra in one of the activities in New York.
The plan was to have a combined orchestra and choir,
Yes, yes, that was…that was in 2001.
It was said that the performance was suddenly cancelled.
That was a mishap.
Yes.
Then after that, I heard there was another time, when the combined performance was up.
One of the member's heart actually stopped and he fainted.
I said that was a mishap.
Yes. But mishaps happening repeatedly is not a good omen.
It will become a definite streak of bad luck.
Isn't it?
That wasn't all...
I heard that last year, there was…
I am someone who has a lot of shortcomings.
I do not believe in adversity. Even if there was such a thing, it would avoid me.
Regarding this, I think you better worry less about it.
I'm not worried.
The one who should be worried is you.
That's right.
Although I don't believe in adversity, but I believe in the members' ability.
Hence we can't have a combined performance.
Haven't I said this before: right now the band is lacking,
And those whom you want to use to fill in the gaps have horrendous musical ability.
How about an audition?
Since it's a city orchestra after all.
We have to pick the tunes that the people would like to hear.
- Now we don't have any shortage of funds. - Right.
- And we can get the choir for you. - Right, right.
- Teacher your ability is also one of a kind. - Of course.
Although the future will depend on this piece, but those things you don't believe in…
Hurry hurry, get to the main point.
Okay.
If the temporary performers are up to par in standard,
Shouldn't be a problem right?
Yes, no problem.
Just try it out.
Just see the ability of the members.
If it's ok, ok?
That...
Why did Kang Mae want to see us?
Regarding the audition.
Did you hear anything about it?
No, I'm not too sure either.
This is a present for you.
I bought it with Ru Mi.
Teacher Fighting!
Relax.
It's just a simple test to see everyone's ability.
I don't hope for any good presentation from you guys.
Those who have no confidence can head on out. Do what you like.
This is the piece. If your performance is no good, don't blame me for not helping you.
For you.
[Beethoven: Symphony No. 9]
It's a combined orchestra piece.
It's a combined.
Choir piece.
It's the piece that we practiced day and night.
Our luck is here.
We've practiced it before.
Is there a problem?
There is.
Isn't this a combined orchestra?
Such a difficult piece, how can you expect us to do it?
It's too difficult.
Teacher, so sorry, could we do another piece?
Why is it so long?
Looks impossible.
Ah, really, this is too much.
Combined with a choir is too much. Change it to a simpler one.
What is this suddenly?
Does it mean we have to sing too?
Up to you to choose.
Anyway, I don't carry any hope. Don't be too pressured.
Let's start.
The fourth sheet, Section 156.
They've practiced it before.
From the day when they were intern members.
Under Teacher Kim Gab Yong's leadership, they were practicing secretly.
From the records, we can see…
Everyday, they practiced from 1900 to 2300 hrs.
What is he doing?
The look and the way he does things how can it be the same?
I want to know the practice piece.
What?
Is it a random piece or have they already chosen Beethoven's combined piece to practice on?
They chose to practice this piece section by section isn't it?
Ah, found it.
Beethoven's combined orchestra.
Wellington's Victory.
Vivaldi, Four Seasons.
God Save The King.
Although they did practice the piece, it was only practiced on the 30th of October.
Once. Just that once.
Didn't you make a hole in the score?
I heard you practiced this piece for a whole month.
It has nothing to do with Mr. Park Hyuk Kwon.
It sounded odd so I threw a bait and you people bit into it immediately.
She refused to undergo surgery.
Eventually she'll still go deaf, so she wants to play in an orchestra while her hearing's still intact,
And take part in concerts.
Given her current state, her hearing can perhaps persist for another 4 months?
Fine, let's give it a try.
What I took in mind was not the one piece you practiced but the one month you spent on it.
It's quite a feat to reach this level with just a month's practice.
Everyone's standard has improved quite a bit.
You have all worked hard.
Excuse me…what does it mean to “give it a try"?
Do you mean the concert?
Yes, I decided to believe in all of you given your current standards.
Why? Are you unwilling?
Kang Mae is the king! The best!
Relay the message to Secretary Kim that I've decided to perform the choral symphony.
Yes.
And also, add their names to the list of performers.
Yes.
Additionally, practice will officially commence tomorrow morning.
Yes.
And…
Mr. Kim Gab Yong.
You will be excluded. You understand the reason, don't you?
Why?
I heard its dementia.
What do you mean by that? What dementia?
Unni, do you understand what he's driving at?
How could Grandfather…
What's with everyone?
Did you hear some rumors? What's with this silence?
Are you insisting Grandfather has dementia?
That's right. Didn't you first bring this up? In the toilet.
Don't you remember?
You have given your best in recent times.
You do not need to turn up from tomorrow onwards.
I am alright.
What did the doctor tell you?
I am only well versed in music, so I didn't say anything else.
No, I definitely do not have dementia.
Then let's take it that you have hemorrhoids. You still have to take your leave.
I am more aware than anybody else of your competence.
That was why I accepted you into the orchestra despite the age limit.
But I'm insisting to let go of you now, do you know why?
I wonder…I'm not sure why too.
At the library the other time…
It was purely a mistake.
Yi Deun was being oversensitive.
It's not this matter.
I heard you lost your way before the concert and spoke to Gun Woo in polite terms.
You mistook the library as the Seoul Orchestra and your cognitivity went back to 30 years ago.
If this is not dementia, then what is it? Unless you sat on a time machine?
I fell asleep on the chair and I was in my dreams…
What if this happens in the concert?
You dream of your wedding ceremony, the groom is marching in,
Let's shout 3 times “hurry!”, can you guarantee this won't happen?
To me, Teacher is akin to a time bomb.
I can't have you remain seated there.
Please give me another chance.
If I make a mistake again, I'll leave on my own accord.
It won't do.
I would rather employ a street performer than you.
Those people can perform 10 hours at a go without any problem.
Competency is important, but so is completing the concert successfully.
What I need are people who are competent and physically healthy,
And not people like you, Teacher.
Was I right about the dementia?
It's not!
If I admit it is, will the outcome be different?
Being sacked like this, my son and daughter-in-law will send me to the psychiatric hospital.
If that happens, till the day I die…
What will persistence bring you? Will the outcome be different?
At least it'll earn me a chance to fight on!
I…I have always thought I was an understanding person.
I wasn't after money but dignity, pride and honor,
Are more important to me than my life.
But you deemed that I will lose my cognitivity?
I will pee and poop everywhere and shout at every person before my eyes?
I will commit arson and smile to myself foolishly when I lose my direction?
Also, do you think I won't be able to remember everything I've done in my life?
That would be hell.
How could I commit those things which even a dog won't…
I…do not have dementia.
I don't have that sort of disease.
But what are we to do? The truth is right before our eyes.
He's in the same boat as me.
There's no difference with my ears and Teacher's dementia…
And I'd believed Teacher didn't stand a chance anymore.
I really can't bear myself these days.
I must be crazy, crazy…
I'm really going crazy. Is there no way out?
Ru Mi.
Look there.
Grandfather.
Oh, this is maddening.
Grandfather, what are you doing? Will the outcome be any different?
Grandfather.
I would rather employ a street performer than you.
Those people can perform 10 hours at a go without any problem.
Grandfather!
What I need are people who are competent and physically healthy,
And not people like you, Teacher.
Right now…is he going to play for 10 hours straight like the street performers?
Teacher...
Well done.
I finally had a chance to rest after two busy days.
It's simply perfect that you woke me up.
Why? What's the matter?
Have you heard?
Mr. Kim Gab Yong is performing on the street right now.
You hesitated a while ago, am I right?
Are you reconsidering?
Don't they say you can tell one's true character from the way they sleep?
Maestro looked really kind when you were sleeping.
What should Maestro do now?
You've been exposed.
Your kind nature has been exposed.
Maestro, do you get hurt easily?
You have a hidden soft side.
You'll take to heart what others have said about you, right?
And you'll feel embarrassed about it, because it isn't manly.
You put on an armor and become an unapproachable porcupine so people won't see through you?
I am a scary person, do not come near me.
I won't wish to be hurt, so stay away from me.
Interesting.
Now, can you leave?
Was I wrong?
This world is full of different types of people.
There are people like you who are sentimental,
And insist to package people like me in your way just so you'll feel at ease.
Loyalty, friendship, love.
There are people who despise such words. Like me.
Mr. Kim Gab Yong.
Regardless of ten hours, a month or a year, leave him to brave the weather.
Even if he turned into the *Amah Rock, I wouldn't bat an eyelid too.
(*a classical legend of faithfulness)
Really?
Then I should clap for you.
There are people who worked hard for sinister reasons,
But, there isn't anyone who can carry a heart of stone right till the end.
Especially with people who are peaceful when they sleep, they definitely can't.
I've understood. I shall show you how I grit my teeth the next time I sleep.
You don't need to wait a month or a year.
If Mr. Kim Gab Yong can persist for 10 hours, you should try giving way too.
If you still refuse to bat an eyelid, I shall clap, bounce around and dance for you too.
“Hurry, Kang Mae!”, I will scream this at the same time.
Alright, a good show's coming up.
Maestro, you must buck up too. Fighting!
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
You contacted them? Who told you to?
Teacher is angry.
Please forgive us.
It's a must to help another person with meager strength,
Hence we were the ones who contacted her.
Teacher, 10 hours is a tad long.
Give it a 70% discount, how about 3 hours?
Coming back to it, shouldn't we contact your family…
Why? We should inform his family members.
Hello?
Yes, Gun Woo.
Kang Mae?
- Kang Mae? - What's with Kang Mae?
I got it, let's hang up.
Kang Mae is coming. Kang Mae is coming. Kang Mae.
That…that…
Ahjumma, are you leaving? Unni, both of you too?
These people are cowards.
I won't run away even if ten Kang Maes came.
What's so scary about Kang Mae?
Bring her away with you.
I won't go.
I refuse to go, I won't go, and I can't go.
The loyal Bae Yong Gi has decided to ignite his popularity earned from Bulgwang-dong here.
She hasn't had breakfast, so get her to eat something, quickly.
Okay, then I shall leave my heart behind.
Let's go.
I refuse, I don't want to go.
This is not escaping, but a term called retreating in war.
I won't go, grandfather!
I refuse!
- It's called retreating. - I refuse to go!
- Grandfather! - Just retreat with me.
It's obviously in this area.
How far must we walk just to eat a meal?
We're reaching. Which way should we go?
Is it this way?
Oh! Look, isn't it Mr. Kim Gab Yong standing there?
What is he doing here?
How about that one? It should taste good.
What's your intention?
I made a bet with Ru Mi.
Ru Mi said Maestro will eventually definitely accept Mr. Kim Gab Yong because he has a tender heart.
While I made a bet that Maestro won't give in.
We placed a bet of 50 thousand Won.
For vagrants like us, this is a considerable amount.
So please don't give in, okay?
What are you up to? It's been a whole day.
Please leave immediately. Don't be too much.
- I have played till this hour… - No, no. Pack your things and leave.
Pack your things, hurry!
What's with the hurry?
The businesses can't function. Just leave.
Where do you want me to go?
Just go over there. You can't play in this area.
Hurry! Gather up your things.
Please go over there.
He's been playing since 11AM.
8 hours have elapsed!
Oh. Look, he can't even stand steadily.
He must be worn out.
You won't allow me to bring him a glass of water…would you?
Yes. You're not to send him any, regardless of what happens.
Stop! Everybody stop!
Elderly, what are you doing here?
There are so many spots to choose from, why must you play here?
Go somewhere else.
I'm sorry. Just a while longer…
Customers will be arriving soon. You still intend to carry on?
We spent much effort to brighten up the atmosphere, now you've spoiled it all!
I'm sorry. I have a promise with someone.
Just 30 more minutes and I'll leave, I'm sorry.
Is this about money? Should I stuff 10 thousand won into your pocket?
You've earned quite a bit, far richer than me.
How much are these worth?
Please don't kick it! I've used this bag for 30 years.
What? Seriously!
Hey!
Come on out.
Yes, Boss.
While I'm being nice, leave or we'll drag you away.
How about this? Let me play for another 30 minutes and I'll provide a free performance inside.
Do you know which piece? It's the first movement of the Oboe Concerto by Mozart.
Who plays classic here? You'll lose the taste for alcohol!
Then how about a lively piece instead? A lively one.
- Bring him away. - Yes, Boss.
Please leave.
Listen to me…
Bring this away too.
Let go of his hands.
Let go of your feet too.
Even the dog in my house hides at the sight of musical instruments and you dare kick it,
Where are your manners!
Who are you?
I'm the one who conducts classical music, the music that makes you lose taste for alcohol.
This is the first oboist of our orchestra.
What is he talking about?
Have you obtained permission?
Such loud music and provocative dance to attract customers.
I am asking if you've obtained an official permit?
Here comes another lunatic.
You two, take care of this guy as well.
Yes, Boss.
I bet he didn't apply for one, it's definitely illegal.
He used to be a policeman.
Such matters are not a rare sight for him.
- Call the police. - Yes.
You're all working hard, this is Kang Gun Woo.
I'm in the vicinity of Taepyeong-dong.
There's someone illegally playing shrill music to attract customers here.
This person dared to alert the police when he was just as noisy as us.
If you wish, you may call the police too.
They will set out now, they wish to verify the exact location.
Just ask them to check the map.
Why should I tell you?
In that case, can you take this call instead.
Are you the only one with a mobile? I have one too.
Tell them I will call myself.
It's the Seok Ran police station, isn't it? Watch out, I'll call them.
To be precise, you only played for 9 hours and 35 minutes.
Practice will commence at 9AM tomorrow.
It will be very intense so please have a good rest tonight.
You're willing to accept me?
I was only leaving the backdoor ajar for you.
What is critical is that its going to be a battle in the future.
Dementia, isn't it?
It's not.
There's still 25 minutes to go, carry on with the performance.
Maestro, thank you.
Vicious fella.
Hello!
Great to see you! Great to see you!
I am Bulgwang-dong's Bae Yong Gi.
Who will be performing a perfect trumpet rendition of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 Choral.
Nice to meet you!
The suave brass ensemble! Let's work hard.
- Hello, I'm Jung Hee Yun. - Please let me pass.
Concert Master.
Hello, Concert Master. Please give me your guidance.
- Hi. - Hi.
Hold on.
What is happening?
French horn, rest half a beat, slower.
Oboe, don't play too fast.
Yes, Sir.
Flute, cut in accurately, don't hesitate.
Yes.
BA Bam, BA Bam! That should be a sforzando*.
(*sforzando/sforzato, the sudden and powerful emphasis of a note or an entire musical phrase)
Ya.
Trumpet, either you pose correctly or you don't.
Today is the first day we've received this score.
How can we give a faultless performance on the first day?
So, you don't intend to participate in the choral symphony?
Are you participating in a concert for the first time?
Why is a pro called a pro? Because you are paid to perform.
But everyone seated here, do you think you are fit to be called one?
Your technique is lousier than the stand-ins, what is up with you!
Maestro complimented us.

Kang Mae was totally suave today, simply marvelous.
He's suave only because he chided the pros, isn't it?
Obviously. What other reasons could there be?
The practice will start at night tomorrow. What time shall we meet?
How about 5PM?
Okay, where?
Oh. My battery's almost flat. I'll call you back shortly, Ru Mi.
Where are we meeting?
At home.
Home? Won't Kang Mae be home?
What's wrong with me being in my house?
Kang Mae?
Is that how you've been addressing me, and not as Teacher?
Teacher...that…
What are you doing tomorrow?
Huh?
My score has come apart. Come stick them back together for me.
How about 5PM?
Yes…that…I have an appointment with Gun Woo tomorrow.
Really?
If I were to move it to the morning...Ah.
Gun Woo says he can't meet in the morning.
That…Maestro, why don't I call…
Hello?
Maestro, it's me.
The line was cut off.
Yes, I hung up.
Yes, that…I have an appointment with Gun Woo tomorrow so I can't come.
I'm aware. Don't come over.
But isn't the score…
How about…now instead?
Why? It's good.
I'm referring to the portion you're conducting.
It's good.
I was conducting in my head, you can hear it?
No, just…a feel.
Which part was it? What did you hear?
Isn't it the third movement, Andante Moderato, where the meter changes to 3/4 time?
Really? It's really that portion?
Wow, amazing.
Does it mean we share the same feelings?
What should I do? I think I am telepathic.
How was it?
What?
Didn't you hear the melody in my head? What was your feel?
How should I put it…
It's a little gloomy.
There's some sorrow.
It felt like a shadow.
Although it was resolute, it felt lonely too.
But, it was dashing too.
It felt adorable, like a little heart aching.
There's an urge to hug…
I meant the music, not you.
Continue with the sticking.
Yes.
Let's smile, finally a chance for our date.
I'm sorry.
Da…date?
It isn't? A meal, a movie, doesn't that make one?
It's not?
What's not?
Are you offended?
Ru Mi, what's wrong?
Are you alright?
(*ringing in the ear)
Tinnitus*
I'm fine now.
Gave me a fright.
Wow, who is this person?
He's really dashing.
Isn't he, Ru Mi?
Ru Mi.
Ru Mi!
Gun Woo.
Where did he go?
Ru Mi!
Gun Woo!
Ah!
Maestro, is Ru Mi here…
What did you say?
- She didn't come by… - What are you talking about? Elaborate.
It's Ru Mi. She felt some discomfort with her ears today.
I can't find her and she's not calling me.
She doesn't have a mobile, it broke down when she fell into the water, don't you know?
I can't find her. I've searched the vicinity.
It's been more than an hour.
Looks like you two got separated. Go in and wait.
Are you not aware, Maestro? Her ears…
I'm aware, she'll go deaf.
But is she going deaf right away? Her ears are fine right now, what's with the fuss?
She'll definitely reach you via your mobile or the phone at home.
It's close to the time for practice. She could have gone straight to the practice room.
Isn't Ru Mi staying at your Aunt's place?
What's the number?
Maestro said this the other time.
The hardest thing to figure out in this world is ourselves.
It is true. I finally understand.
What do you mean?
In the past, I just thought of her as adorable and pretty.
I seem to realize this when she's not around.
Ru Mi…holds a very important place in my heart.
I'll go out and look for her again.
Are you really alright?
Yes, I'm just a little giddy.
That's right, my car did not hit you at all.
I stepped on the brake immediately and stopped right there.
But you had already fainted.
How long did I lose consciousness?
Well… around 90 minutes?
Oh dear, Gun Woo…
Are you really alright?
Yes… Yes.
Please go ahead.
- I shall make a move then. - Yes.
- Take good of your health. - Yes…yes.
You've yet to find Ru Mi?
Did you detour to where you first got separated?
I went there twice but I can't find her.
She didn't return home?
I checked while I was on the way here. She didn't.
She didn't attend the practice too.
I'm really going crazy.
Kang Gun Woo, stay calm. Contact the police…
Hello? Kang Gun Woo? Did you hear what I said?
Hello?
Gun Woo.
You found Ru Mi?
How is she? Is she alright?
Where did you go?
I went to look for you.
Who asked you to wander around…
I'm sorry.
You must be taken aback.
Our Gun Woo must be very worried.
It's my fault, I'm sorry.
I thought I would die.
I thought…I thought I would stop breathing.
Isn't this too much? We gave in and allowed them to join in.
But that elderly, I heard he had dementia.
Exactly. And Kang Mae doesn't speak with politeness.
This is really…how long must we bear with this?
Let's wait and see.
Let's wait.
But right now…
Thank you for turning up punctually despite the late hour.
Here, let's start this on a happy note.
Please flip to the second movement.
What is this? Are you the northern troop?
There is not a single feeling expressed here!
Can't you read English?
Crescendo. Decrescendo. Don't you even know that?
Beethoven struggled to write this when he was almost completely deaf.
You should at least elicit half of what he wanted to express!
And also, Concert Master.
Didn't the violinists tune their violins beforehand?
Are you competing to see who'll be the first to tear a hole in the rooftop?
Let's replay the portion with up-bow strokes.
We're playing with down-bow strokes.
Yes, we'll play with up-bow strokes.
Isn't he sick to be glaring at us?
What did you just say about the Concert Master?
First French horn, you can speak while you're seated.
No. They were too much.
If you keep insisting to stand up, I'll chase you out.
Why are you keeping an eye on your watches?
That's right, we've exceeded practice by 10 minutes.
But you wish to go back with such standards? Can you sleep with it?
We'll not leaving till everything's perfect.
I need to give lessons.
Lessons, lectures, cancel them all.
How do you expect to teach others when your standards are unacceptable?
At the end of practice, all the section leaders are to stay behind and rehearse again.
Understand?
Why aren't you answering?
(*meaning very fast)
Fourth movement. We'll start from presto* again.
Clarinet. How long have you played?
Can't you tell the A and B-flat clarinets apart?
What's the need to change? Just go out!
Please be courteous when you speak!
You shall leave the room too.
I've said this. The next person to stand up will be dismissed.
This…this is simply too much!
Jung Jin!
This can't go on, I need to declare what I need to say!
We…were all accepted into this orchestra based on official auditions.
So we do not need to put up with such outrageous behaviors!
Didn't you hear me?
Every concert and practice will be an audition. I remember I stated this clearly.
Even so…this is really…
Fine.
We will leave this room.
We have tried to resolve this rationally.
But it seems like nothing will come out of it.
Inexperienced members.
A conductor who doesn't watch his tongue.
There is a limit to our tolerance.
This will be the city symphonic orchestra's first concert?
Under the circumstances where half the orchestra members are absent,
May you have an outstanding performance.
Sun…Sunbae. Sunbae.
Sunbae!

If the terms are not agreed upon, the members will hold a protest.
Apologize for the insulting comments and draft out a prevention strategy.
You didn't think we'd do this, did you?
Maestro, now is not the time to worry for us.
In other words, you had expected the conductor to oblige even at his death.
Isn't that what you had in mind?
Won't an apology resolve all matters?
I apologize. I'm sorry.
What do I need to apologize? I've not done anything wrong.
From now on, he'll lead the choir practices.
The promotional banner has torn into halves. We can't even see the date.
Kang Mae has never won over anybody.
He didn't think of winning over anybody too.
So I've decided to apologize.
It's fine. You don't need to cry anymore.
The concert will be fine.
The concert will be successful.
This is epoch-marking.
In other words, the musician's political life is coming to an end.
It is Kang Mae who trusted and encouraged me.
But Maestro is plagued with difficulties now.
