Episode 14
He...
He's that kind of person.
It seems that you've not changed at all. It's been 10 years.
What do you think classical music is?
I think it's just a lump of dog shit.
I hate classical music.
How can you hate classical music? Why? At least tell me a reason for it!
A conductor doesn't count for much.
We just need him to put up an act on the day of the concert. Forget it.
It's been said that the ignorant is the bravest. It's not wrong at all.
- Let me tell you what conducting's about. - Come on in.
What kind of music do you wish to express to the audience?
It is that feeling.
Those emotions.
Just through conducting...
He made us feel as if we were reborn.
That was the first time I felt the magnificence of music.
Alright. I'll let you give it a shot.
Mo... Monitor?
I'm talking about conducting.
Just treat it as a dream in my heart.
Dream?
How can that be your dream? You don't even want to work for it.
That is a star, a star hung up in the sky.
Untouchable, only to be admired from a distance. A star you can only look towards.
I'm not here to help you fulfill your dream.
You must put in some effort at the very least.
I belong here.
I want to practice with them.
In here.
Your ambition.
It's churning around.
There are people who manage to raise their standards through enjoyment.
What do you want to do! I'm asking you for their harmonic equivalent!
C, D, E flat, F sharp, G sharp! You're playing all of those!
He's just wasting away such talent. He's really a fool!
What use is it for me to be a permanent orchestra member?
What I really want to be is not a permanent orchestra member receiving monthly salaries,
but a conductor.
Being temporary members with you, learning together, go to university,
learn conducting.
That's what I want.
Gun Woo... This fellow is a genius
Though I don't want to admit it...
But I think that's the truth. He is a mad man.
Full of talent, but not fearful at all.
He's can give Mozart a run for his money.
He needs someone to teach him dedicatedly,
And as for someone as stubborn and biased as me, I don't deserve to be his teacher.
And most importantly, if he follows me...
He can only become someone like me in the future.
A proud and aloof conductor.
Forever separated from the mainstream.
After I become a famous conductor in the future, I will visit you,
then tell everyone that he is my teacher.
Without him, I wouldn't be what I am today.
The world's best conductor is not Jung Myung Hwan.
But is this person here, Maestro Kang.
I'll tell the world like this.
- Am I really a sociopath? - Yes, you're right.
A bastard, am I?
Of course.
Not worth the trouble of association?
Not worth the trouble of association.
Don't you know that you're that sort of person?
Have you really lived all your 40 years without knowing what you're like?
You can learn all my conducting skills.
But you'd better not pick up my temperament.
I, too, can do something?
I can excel.
But I've not been working hard myself.
And he's the person that believes in me...
is Kang Mae.
I think I've fallen for Gun Woo.
Not that young, gentlemanly, kind Gun Woo.
Kang Mae likes you too.
To protect my feelings,
he's always been hiding his own.
He really likes you.
The old, bad-tempered, selfish, nit-picking, evil Gun Woo.
Okay.
Good job.
Use this piece.
That's Beethoven's 5th symphony with piano accompaniment, Emperor.
I'll go analyze it.
I don't need you to analyze. I've already made the necessary annotations.
Just conduct according to it.
Anyway, the analysis of a piece depends solely on how the conductor feels about it,
isn't it?
I've already said that I don't need you to analyze.
Only those who have some experience are qualified to analyze.
You've just learnt about conducting for a few months.
How dare you talk about analysis in front of me?
Do you really want to appear cool that much?
After getting dumped by a girl, your pride hurt.
So you want compensation by pretending to be all cool about it?
You didn't want to be the annoying guy crying and whining about love,
So you're thinking of all sorts of methods,
to compensate for your hurt pride, is that it?
Teacher.
You feel the need to be different, to oppose me,
to persevere, to determine a clear winner, do you?
Up till now, I've been trying to tolerate this.
Who told you to tolerate it? Just let it all out!
Kindness, gentlemanliness, put all those down.
What can you possibly do when you're tied down with so many complex emotions.
Just do it by your instincts!
Competitiveness! Spitefulness! Fight! Attack! Just let it all out!
Thank you, Teacher.
This is the first time I'm feeling the need to be better than you.
Teacher.
Well... the concert is about to begin.
It's almost time.
Gun Woo!
Why didn't you come to watch teacher's conducting? Didn't you intend to do so?
I was busy thinking about something else.
How was his performance? Was it very good?
There's nothing to say. It was awesome... He hasn't lost his touch at all.
Yes, but Kang Mae wasn't looking too good. Did you notice that?
The melody itself was a little sad, so the atmosphere also became solemn.
But still, he doesn't need to wear such dung-eating face.
Didn't the group of dung get kicked out already?
- There you go again... - Sorry.
Okay, we better get prepared.
He's out. Teacher's came out.
What do you think about today's concert? Are you satisfied with it?
Everybody is in awe of today's performance, what are your thoughts about that?
Teacher, this will just take a while. Please say something.
Please go and attend the concert at the field.
There's another orchestra performing there. Take a look.
Where's that?
Daddy!
It's a great honor for you to be here.
Didn't Conductor Kang come with you?
He was with me just awhile ago.
Perhaps he went to take a rest.
He has always liked to be on his own.
Did you say the same thing to Ru Mi?
When she loses her hearing, is that what you're going to say to her?
It's Teacher Suh Hye Kyung.
Is she in charge of the piano accompaniment?
Given that she's an accomplished pianist, why would she be with them?
It seems like Maestro Kang personally invited her.
The piece that we are presenting to everyone shortly is Tchaikovsky's 1st piano concerto.
A famous story is intertwined into this piece;
Tchaikovsky once played this piece to his closest friend, Nicholas Rubinstein,
but he called this, denounced it as rubbish, and teased him about it.
Said that this piece was too rigid, emotionless, and couldn't be saved.
He even went on to threaten that if he didn't modify it according to him,
it could never succeed.
One sentence.
He underestimated his adversary,
and trampled underfoot his friend' soul.
But Tchaikovsky didn't modify that piece.
But went along with his feelings of the piece, and performed it...
And was an unprecedented success.
And I want to, with my own interpretation of the piece...
With these hands...
Show everyone here...
A performance that is completely my own.
It's really good.
Though the technical skills need improvement,
but these can be overcome through practice.
I think he's Kang Mae's student.
Yes, but don't you find it strange?
His style is completely different from Kang Mae's.
I think he's a little better than Kang Mae.
Kang Mae is outstanding in his annotation of music scores,
but he lacks a little commitment in emotions.
Sort of a suppressed feeling,
A dull, frustrated feel as if he's trying to suppress his own emotions.
But this young man, he's like a flowing river,
Though he has the pianist Suh Hye Kyung to shore up his shortcomings,
but maybe it's because the conductor is young. So he's very direct.
He expresses his emotions fully without batting an eyelid.
He's really something.
You're saying he's better than Kang Mae?
Because their style is totally opposite, there's no area for comparison.
But in the interpretation of emotions in the piece,
He's definitely better than Kang Mae. Definitely.
Kang Mae, he's nursing a tiger in his own home.
What do you think you're doing?
We're doing construction works.
The governor ordered us to build a large tent over here;
There's so much empty space here...
Can't you see that there's a concert going on?
He said it was to be built here specifically. I think it's quite urgent.
We're just following orders from above.
If you've any issues, just talk to the governor.
Put the governor on.
Please hold on.
Be good, don't cry...
Yes, Conductor, what is the...
There's construction works being carried out in the field now.
Really?
What are they building?
This is the first time I'm feeling the need to be better than you.
You're saying he's better than Kang Mae?
In the interpretation of emotions in the piece,
He's definitely better than Kang Mae. Definitely.
Teacher, can you be more specific?
There's construction works going on at the field where the concert is taking place.
I can explain that.
We have to build this tent by this year,
but we've been unable to find a suitable place for it.
I ordered them to build it there.
But I really didn't know about the concert going on there. Really!
Teacher,
Say something.
Stop the construction work! Now!
We're having a concert now!
Stop it now! Stop!
Don't interfere in our work.
Don't you understand what I'm saying?
We're performing over there, can't you see that?
Do you have eyes?
Can't you see us performing over there?
We're having a concert, get away now!
There's no mention of it in the papers, just a comment from a critic.
The concert that was held in the field,
the young conductor Kang Gun Woo, and so on...
Fresh, daring, commandingly, all these are written just to fill up the space.
Ah. There's an important paragraph here.
Disaster.
His young direction was fresh and full of ambitious spirit,
But in the face of sudden problems, he lacks experience in dealing with them,
Disaster.
What do you make of this?
Wasn't there already a judgment made?
You've always been reasonable, why are you like that now?
You must be responsible for what you've said.
I admit,
When I arranged for the construction works to be held there;
That was my mistake.
I really didn't know that there was a concert going on there.
But I thought you agreed with me.
In the call you made to me.
You just listened to me,
but you never requested for me to stop works immediately.
Isn't this the same as agreeing?
Alright, let's drop this.
We'll both forget about this,
and work together for the new symphonic orchestra.
I suppose you know that the local elections are coming soon?
Taking this chance, let's use music, to gather the people's votes,
I mean, hearts, how about that?
Transform into a musical city,
I am candidate number 1, Kang Jun Bae.
Someone requested that I write an article, but I rejected him.
It looks like I'd better write it.
I just thought of something to write about.
Do so!
The musical city Seongnam, interrupted concerts for publicity's sake.
This will be appearing in the newspapers next week.
Teacher, please be reasonable.
Fine, I'll add another line.
Kang Jun Bae, Governor of Seongnam, along with Conductor Kang Gun Woo,
joined hands to interrupt the concert.
Are you satisfied?
Why are you doing this?
What do you want me to do?
I'm going crazy.
From what I see, you're either a extremely arrogant person, or a complete idiot.
Don't be so self-satisfied. You can't escape my grasp no matter how good you are.
I said I don't need you to analyze!
Only people with a background can analyze pieces.
You've only learnt conducting for a few months,
how dare you talk about analyzing in front of me!
If you continue to be like this, one day you'll be embarrassed in public.
We're a securities firm, and we have quite a good proposal for you.
I know, you have your own problems,
but this is a crucial time for all of us, it is now where we should...
I know! That's why I want to leave quietly.
But who knows? That person over there had to shout so loudly,
Park Hyuk Kwon's running! Are you supposed to call me that? I'm not an escaped convict.
You could just send us a message to tell us...
Everybody has gathered here to discuss our future,
But you're packing up your instrument and leaving, that's why I...
Am I running away? Do you have to make it sound so bad?
Alright.
Let's hear what great ideas you can come up with.
Speak!
Look at this,
Can't think of any ideas?
No plans?
We're at a dead end now.
Aren't we all thinking about it? Give us some time.
Aren't you supposed to enter some competition? Go to your practice.
Don't interfere in adults' matters.
No ideas yet you're still acting big.
I'm just about to go for practice even if you didn't tell me to.
Yes, Yi Deun needs to go for her practice.
Give me a call if you need any help.
The most important thing in music is confidence.
Now, we need to find the reason...
I think we were doing quite well before we were interrupted.
The audience was captivated by our music, the overall atmosphere was good.
The piano was just divine, violin, oboe, trombone...
The trumpet put up a speechless performance.
The double bass that we were all worried
about beforehand also put up a marvelous performance,
Of course, we were excellent.
Did you see the expressions of the audience?
They all sat there as if they lost their souls.
Exactly!
But once the construction works started, everything went up in smoke.
The construction ruined it all!
You've heard of "construction ruins"!
In conclusion, the blasted construction workers,
Digging holes here, building things there.
Korea's famous construction works spoiled our performance.
There so many places for them to choose from,
they just refuse to go somewhere else.
Why do they need to do it there!
What if it was Kang Mae?
If it was Kang Mae, he would first stop the performance.
Then make a call to the governor, or contact someone higher up,
or just kick those people away.
In any case, he would continue with the performance
only after removing all obstacles.
If that happened, our concert would have been a concert.
Now we have no hope of returning to the city orchestra.
You're too much. Why dig up the past?
Did I start this?
Some people are grumbling the whole time.
So I said it.
This is the truth, isn't it?
But Gun Woo was really good! He has been working really hard...
We all know that!
We all know that he's been very worried!
Would rather die than accept Kang Mae's help.
Though he was in a fit of anger then,
but I think he should be able to understand it now.
Analyzing the piece? Conducting?
He's really good at it.
He's stronger than Kang Mae in some areas,
but he loses out in one aspect.
Solving problems.
Experience.
This can't be learnt in a day.
It needs to be accumulated over some time.
He's too young.
What can we still do? It's already like this now.
Do you want to abandon Gun Woo?
He's still a good man.
That's not what I mean.
Then, what do you propose?
Please don't hang up.
This is a securities firm, and we have a very good investment proposal for you.
If it's that good, why don't you invest in it?
Hang on.
We're not asking for your investment. We intend to invest in you.
I'll connect you to the supervisor. Please hang on.
Even though this method is a little old,
but it shows the skill of the composer.
You, over there.
Yes, you.
I've already told you the other time, don't you understand?
Listen up.
Behind...
- This is my first day here. - What?
I'm just listening here, I've graduated already.
What did you major in?
Violin.
Then why are you in a composing class?
Because my ears aren't too good,
But I don't wish to give up on music.
Can't I?
Invest... in us?
Du Ru Mi.
Don't interrupt him. Sit down and listen.
Yes.
Allowing us to form an orchestra?
Did they explain why?
I think they saw our concert
and the supervisor there likes classical music very much,
It can boost the image of the company, and can publicize the company.
They intended to find a famous orchestra, but found us in the end.
Why choose us? There're many other better ones.
Did they explain in detail? Is this a lie?
He sounded quite sincere.
You remember the editor for the classical music magazine?
I think he recommended us. I think he understands us quite well.
I've discussed it with the supervisor,
he used to be in music before going into business, so he clicks very well with us.
Though it's like this, but...
Surely they won't give away money for free, there has to be conditions.
If this goes through,
the orchestra will have to change its' name to their company's name.
That's a given.
And they want to see another performance.
There's a Concert for Citizen's Day at the Cultural Center next month.
They want to decide after that.
I think he's just bored, and are making fun of us.
I knew it couldn't be so simple.
Didn't I say so? We still need to be tested.
What's wrong with you? What's wrong with a test?
Aren't you up to it?
- There's nothing really undoable, but - That day,
Before the construction works started, we were doing really well.
Who's to say that it will end up in a disaster again?
This will be held indoors. There'll be no construction works.
The acoustics will be good as well, the atmosphere will be good.
Why? Why not?
This concert also needs an audition.
Only a selected few can perform in it.
Don't we just need to pass that audition? What's so hard about it?
Don't you have confidence?
Are you still thinking of what happened the other time?
Du Ru Mi.
I think Gun Woo's lacking confidence. What can we do?
Have a change of conductor?
Of course not.
Let's have a change. I'll conduct.
Anyway, we've no funds to get another conductor,
we need to select one among us. I was the leader of the orchestra in university.
And was conductor for awhile.
I've some experience working in a company, so I won't mess up as badly as him.
I've the experience,
Brother... You don't count as a brother. Park!
If you were to be the conductor, Why not let me be?
Though my standard isn't as good as his,
but as long as I go to Kang Mae, and learn humbly from him, it should be alright.
What do you think?
Him, or me?
Will any Tom, Dick or Harry do?
Raise your hands in support. Those that support me, please raise your hands.
And for those that support Gun Woo?
Me, me.
They all support you. What do you intend to do? They're really foolish...
That's why we're called the fool's orchestra.
Let's change our names. We can't trust him anymore.
What can we do? There's no one else that can conduct.
It'll have to be you.
Yes, you'll be a lot better than Park Hyuk Kwon.
You'd better not lose your temper everyday. It's as if he's Kang Mae's rebirth.
And he doesn't have any skill at all.
And looks ugly!
Of course the younger one looks better.
Conductor, say something.
I will do my best.
Thank you, everyone.
Yes?
Well... what I mentioned to you in the day,
Two orchestras...
Well... I mean,
The elections are happening next week.
Because of this, the candidates, will probably be quite sensitive about it.
His arguments will also be centered on the city orchestra,
and try to make trouble for you.
The governor wants to know if you can choose 1 out of 2?
No. I want both.
Hang on, hang on.
There's something, I'm not sure
About your views on.
I've been serving the higher levels for over 10 years.
So I've some experience in these matters.
That call about the construction works...
It looks like you didn't intend to stop it forcefully either.
Don't you like those orchestra members very much?
You're right.
They think that Gun Woo is better than me.
So I was hoping for the concert to be a disaster.
Why? Can't I? I'm human as well.
After fighting for over 10 years, suddenly I'm overshadowed by my student of 6 months!
Don't I have the right to be angry?
You should get angry...
I've decided to create another, smaller orchestra.
Though it's not confirmed, but I've mention the idea to the governor.
It'll be traveling between schools and villages,
Performing for them, teaching them to play the instruments,
It doesn't need much skill. Do it if you want to.
You're supposed to be regretful now, what's there to be arrogant about?
Is it your dignity again?
Thank you for thinking about us,
But we've made other plans already.
What is it?
There's a company that says they want to invest in us.
Though it's not confirmed yet, but they may set up a professional orchestra.
So, we've decided...
You rather accept the help of lousy company, than accept my help, is that it?
I will consider it,
but I would prefer to go and give that a try first. The orchestra members...
Why? Because of Ru Mi?
You're right.
When I got dumped by Ru Mi, I cried.
Crying, crying, and I slept in the end.
But yesterday,
I was unable to sleep at all.
Because of me, all those people lost their living,
- Would I still be able to sleep? - Then why?
Because of me?
You were a little rash today.
Is it because of me that you're not accepting it?
Be frank.
Not because of you.
Be frank.
What's your reason.
Reason?
I don't understand what you're saying.
Speak.
- What do you want exactly? - You understand me.
I also understand you. Don't lie.
Because I'm frustrated.
Musical background, your analysis, they're not wrong.
But your style is different from mine.
I can't understand, can't accept it...
How am I supposed to conduct then?
And you still are forcing me to do so.
I feel like a puppet. I get so frustrated everyday.
At first, I had my own views. But it feels like you're always stopping me.
No.
- You're not stopping me. - I am stopping you.
I clipped your wings.
You misunderstand me, Teacher.
There's no need to call me teacher.
Leave.
I'm letting you leave.
It's my fault, I'm not trying to make you angry.
Kang Gun Woo.
I'm not angry.
It's because this is our path.
Two people who don't fit together trying to be teacher and student. That's wrong.
Isn't it?
Why are you like this?
You're not the one that's supposed to be angry now!
I can't speak my mind, nor can I tell lies. What do you want me to do!
How long do you want to trample on me before you're happy?
There are a total of 8 topics here.
From here, pick out a topic that suits you, and let's discuss it.
You can tell just by looking, that it's international, famous,
and, there're 8 different sections, Which means...
Come to my office.
I'm busy.
Shocked?
I've wanted to try that for very long. It feels so good.
But, I'm really busy now.
Something's cropped up
Tonight we're also practicing till late.
Can I look for you when I have the time?
No. Don't bother coming anymore.
On the whole, there're many areas to consider when composing.
Though it's not bad,
but it's a little...
It's nothing to do with you...
The piece is a little...
Can you change it if you like?
Shouldn't we perform the original piece?
It's not as if it's a traditional classical performance, it shouldn't be a problem.
They said that it's alright.
I feel that the piece needs a little changing,
I'll go and modify it a little.
Please hang on.
How is it? Stumped?
Yes.
According to the original tune, the tempo feels too slow.
How about this?
You modified this?
Aren't I learning to compose now?
I took it as practice and modified it.
I think the problem is that flute doesn't change.
The flute has the main melody, but the main melody rhythm remains constant
While the overall tempo starts to quicken, no?
Changing the main melody probably isn't too good...
- It's not bad! - Isn't it?
Just make it a little more melodious, and it'll probably be alright.
Not bad, not bad.
Well... This part, and this,
How about changing the tempo?
Definitely not.
That's leading the whole part on.
Changing it too much would be counterproductive.
Really?
Then let's change the key.
Yi Deun.
Good afternoon.
Bora...
We've come without informing you beforehand, I'm really sorry about it,
I'm... because I'm worried about my husband,
I thought so,
Surely it couldn't be because of your daughter?
That concert...
Wasn't it a disaster?
Then the orchestra members, about returning to the city orchestra,
It's ended. Impossible.
Are you feeling alright?
I'm fine, I'm fine.
It's nothing.
Well... We've always been been renting a house,
so we've decided to buy that house.
But the deadline for payment has been crossed a long time ago.
It's only out of kindness of the landlord,
that he agreed to let us pay it a few days later.
- We're already out of money. - Get to the point.
- Park Hyuk Kwon's job... - Well...
I'm also about to give birth to my child,
- And now our future seems uncertain. - Just a moment.
Child, don't touch that.
Don't touch that either!
Ahjussi, will you play "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" for me?
No.
Then let me ride him.
That's a dog, not a horse.
Mummy!
Mrs. Park,
I can't hold it any longer!
There's supposed to be a few days before I give birth, but...
What's Park Hyuk Kwon's number?
3... 367
I... I can't hold it any longer!
He's coming out, he's coming out!
Mrs. Park, what's the number you said? Quick!
He's... He's coming out!
Do you know?
What's your father's telephone number?
I... I can't hold it any longer, he's coming out, he's coming out!
Late for over 2 hours, shouldn't you at least apologize?
Didn't tell you in advance that I'll be late today?
I know you've an urgent tutoring session.
He told me already that he could be a little late.
You still can go if you push it back, why must it be during practice time?
They said that they can only do it now, what can I do?
You want me to quit, and then collapse in hunger?
What are you saying? Since when have I asked you to starve?
I'm sorry, will that do? Let's start.
Bae Yong Gi... You do it.
Park.
Park, has something happened at home?
Next week I have to pay the monthly installment for my home.
And my wife is going to give birth in two days time, now I'm short of money.
I was discussing with the tutee, and he said that he couldn't pay in advance,
so no, I've contacted a singer...
Anyway he's quite famous; I've signed a contract with him to perform together.
Is that clear enough for you?
Why didn't you tell us earlier?
I could have helped you find a part-time job at the bar...
What?
Are you playing with me now?
I said it only out of concern for you.
So, you want me to go and work with you at bars?
What's wrong with a bar?
Bars are also open to let people in. Bars also play music. Don't look down on us...
I'm a graduate from university!
Senior!
Not long ago, I was working in a company.
I'm also in a company! Don't Tell Papa!
Forget it.
I'm also a person that got into the symphonic orchestra by a proper audition.
But now!
Yes, the evilest person.
The one who sacked me from the orchestra. It's Kang Mae, that scumbag.
But now, you want me to go and perform with you at a bar?
Do you think I'm as lowly as you?
What's so embarrassing about performing in a bar?
We are humans too! We have nothing to be ashamed about!
You! If you continue to look down on us, I'll never forgive you!
You watch out! Jerk!
What? Come on!
- What are you doing! - You agitated me first!
Yeah, it's all my fault!
I'm going crazy wondering how the hell
someone like you got past the first audition!
You jerk! Do you really want me to whack you with this?
What?
If you don't bleed, you won't know what you're talking about!
Hit me! Hit me if you dare!
- Don't force me! - Hit, hit me!
Hello?
What?
Ok, got it.
Senior!
Stop it!
- Your wife is about to give birth! - What?
Your child, your child is about to come out!
My stomach! It's killing me!
Can't you give me a hand?
Concentrate on your breathing, follow me.
Take a deep breath,
Let it out...
One, two.
Are you going to go in? The operating room.
Of course not.
It's killing me...
One, two.
It's killing me...
Stop!
Excuse me.
I'm looking for patient Hwan Young Hee.
Ah, patient Hwan Young Hee is over there, number 810.
Are you alright?
Once I saw the child, it didn't hurt anymore.
The room isn't bad.
Look at you.
Now all you think about is money.
Forget it... Give me a smile.
It isn't fair to our newborn child.
Me? When did I...
I'm very happy...
Continue resting.
There's no need.
Want to go and see our child?
Can we go now?
The doctor said that walking will aid my recovery.
Oh. Ok.
He's cute.
He's looking at us!
You're really lucky.
He doesn't look like his dad.
Isn't he winking?
Wow! He's really winking!
Don't be so loud, you're making him cry.
Hey, Lump ahjumma, stop pushing. (KangMae referred to her as a lump of crap)
It looks like Hee Yun's.
Daddy.
Mummy
- Give daddy a hug. - Mummy.
Park Hyuk Kwon.
Starting from next week, come to the orchestra.
Really?
It's alright for the rest of us.
Then starting from next week, we'll also go to the orchestra?
Park Hyuk Kwon was wrongly given the sack, you weren't.
The concert was a disaster, I have no other choice.
Park Hyuk Kwon, re-hired. You're swapping Orchestras.
And you'd better accept other's help.
The rest of us... it looks like we can only go to that simple practice hall.
Du Ru Mi.
Teacher!
When did you come?
What's this? A hearing aid?
When did it start?
I'll bring this up first.
When did it start?
It's been awhile.
Sometimes good, sometimes bad.
But I can hear as long as one ear is wearing the hearing aid.
Why didn't you tell me?
Don't you hate it? Relying on others for every small thing...
I intend to learn to compose.
At my alma mater. I'm attending the composing course.
I've only went for a few lessons, but it's quite interesting.
The piece for our audition is modified by me.
And I got praised for it! Gun Woo praised me.
Not that it's all very good.
Just a small portion.
Compose?
With your ears like this, how are you going to compose? Do you think you're Beethoven?
Yes, I know, a good portion of musicians are disabled,
but those people have talent. What do you have?
Teacher, it's also only through hard work that you are here today,
so I think, as long as I fight for it hard enough...
Du Ru Mi.
I know that your circumstances are terrible now,
but please don't pull me down with you as well.
Do you think that I just worked hard, without any talent?
Even if you want to fight, you must look at the possibility at the very least.
After all, you can't suddenly wish to be an artist one day when you're bored.
Do you think just by sketching at the farm will make you a Picasso?
It's not because I'm bored.
It's because I'm not satisfied.
Some people, only after 25 years,
will their buried talent finally emerge, and slowly improve.
As for me, I've always preferred,
Suffering not because of competence... My ears...
Isn't it too unfair to me?
So what do you want? Pity?
Teacher, that doesn't work on me anymore.
If I fight for it again, maybe I'll suffer another defeat.
But, if I get disappointed, I'll bear it myself.
If I'm defeated, I'll bear it myself too.
You don't need to worry about me.
What lessons are you attending?
I'm learning harmonic studies first.
While you were in school, how much did you get for your harmonic studies?
10 marks.
In that case, what are you still learning?
I mean, since you want to learn, you might as well learn systematically.
Not just harmonic studies,
Counterpoint, Sight Reading, Foundations of Music,
Instrument Theory, Music Theory, Music Analysis;
you have to go for all these as well.
Yes.
And composing, I would want...
While I still can hear, to continue playing the violin.
Play it yourself. Won't you spoil things for everyone
if you play it in the orchestra?
Teacher, your conducting,
if I had the chance, I would like to follow your beat again.
Teacher.
There's bound to be something that someone is good at, isn't there?
That's why I'm born into this world, isn't it?
It's just that I haven't found it.
Right?
Granddad.
I'm planning to play this piece at the young musician's competition.
What do you think? Is it okay? Isn't it good?
Well, later we're going to the cultural center for the audition,
and after we pass it,
as long as we are a success at the Citizen's Day Concert,
we'll be able to get an investment from a company.
That way, we'll be able to create our own orchestra!
Not bad, isn't it?
Granddad,
I'm even sweetly speaking formally.
Can't you just look at me?
I'm going off.
Today I've a solo,
If you could just cheer me on, that'll be great.
Yes, but now she's learning to compose...
Her ears aren't too well.
It's not just a problem; she'll lose her hearing soon.
Yes, it's like that.
She can sense with her fingertips.
Yes. If there's any breakthrough...
Are you saying that there's still a possibility?
Yes, I understand.
Yes.
Teacher, are you awake?
After practice, we're going for the audition.
I've mentioned it to you before, that company.
The Citizen's Day Concert is at the Cultural Center.
They're only accepting those that pass the interview.
So,
That was my fault.
Stop being angry anymore.
Though I have nothing,
But I still act as if I own the world.
I've made breakfast for you,
Have it later.
Why is it that even here, we can see these people?
A place as sacred as the cultural hall, what are these cultural idiots doing here?
At least, compared to no. 2, he's a little better.
Exactly. If Kim Kye Jang was to get elected, the orchestra wouldn't exist anymore.
- He also wouldn't be promoting the arts - Surely not.
I'm serious!
Can we do it?
Of course!
It's not the selection yet, it's just seeing how well we'll do on stage.
Exactly. Who are we?
Many companies are queuing up to sign contracts with us!
If only our last concert wasn't a disaster.
Little fool, must you bring up the word disaster?
You mean it will be a disaster for the other teams, right?
Yi Deun's words, we must always interpret the opposite.
Op-po-site.
It's 4pm already.
Gun Woo, Gun Woo,
I'm going to the bank to settle a bill first.
Can't you do it later? We're waiting to go in now.
No, no, it can't wait. The fine for being late a day is not small.
The bank is just around the corner; I'll be back soon.
Help me carry the instrument.
We'll wait for you, come back soon.
Well, let's go in first.
Yong Gi!
Why am I always the one doing the grunt work?
Is that Da Won's mom?
Oh! Da Won's mom! What are you doing here?
I'm paying bills on the way from a movie.
Is that so? I'm here for my bills as well.
Well? You watched a movie together?
I'm here for an audition.
I told you before, didn't I? I'm joining an orchestra.
How about before that?
Did you just come from the neighborhood?
No, I was busy practicing. From morning till now.
Didn't I say so?
Why? Is anything the matter?
Just now, on our way here, we were having tea nearby,
and we say your husband sitting with a woman.
From the back, I thought that it was you.
Who else could it be?
What are you doing?
I'm trying to relax, don't bother about me.
You're driving everyone else mad, go sit over there.
What's wrong? You've been on the phone the since just now.
How can there be someone like you?
That person's sick. It's alright, it's alright.
Geez, how many was that?
They all came out crying.
Just now that fat man, he didn't cry.
Didn't you see his expression?
Like a small kid, pouting his lips.
Next, Mouse Orchestra.
Come on, everybody, show some enthusiasm!
Let's give ourselves a cheer before going in.
Ok, ok.
Who are we?
M... Mouse!
That's too soft.
- Loudly! - We are?
Mouse Phil!
Mouse Phil is?
A weed!
A weed is?
Tough!
Good morning, judges,
I am the conductor of Mouse Orchestra.
My name is Kang Gun Woo...
Mouse Orchestra?
Perform a piece first.

There are rules to it. Let me show you.
Please pass the conductor's baton to him.
Du Ru Mi, you can go now.
Teacher, he only analyzes the song the normal way.
No, this portion,
According to the original edition?
My music has changed! It's been destroyed!
Our main performer on stage, is her.
Gun Woo?
Isn't this...
The governor, he's asking us to do some...
Who are you treating as an orchestra that belongs to you?
If you persist like this, and let the opposition win,
there will be severe repercussions.
We may have to be disbanded.
What?
Du Ru Mi.
I'm unable to conduct for you, so please help me.
It'll be a little better, for us not to meet again.
Are you instructing me?
This is an order.
The new governor, he wants to sack you.
He wants to retrench people.
