Episode 15
[35th Anniversary Suk Ran Citizens' Day] [Commemorative Concert Audition]
Hello.
I'm the conductor of Mouse Phil., Kang Gun Woo...
Mouse Phil.?
Go ahead and play.
Aren't you the folks from the Symphonic Orchestra Festival?
Your apprentice who used to play with the Suk Ran City Orchestra.
Is that so?
[Arrangement: Kang Gun Woo. Du Ru Mi.]
Why is it so fast?
It seems they embellished on the piece.
Alright, stop right there.
It's not bad.
This is originally a slow dance piece...
So there's the danger of sounding frivolous if altered incorrectly.
I think you kept well within the appropriate boundaries.
It's alright.
Kang Gun Woo.
What's the title of the music?
Yes.
- It's Faure's Pavane. - Do you even know what "pavane" means?
Yes. The term originated from the peacock.
Is that so?
By listening to your music, I thought it was the sparrow or turkey.
What kind of peacock flaps around?
Is it in heat or something?
You do know that pavane is court dance music,
originating from Italy at the beginning of 16th century, right?
In a palace where stateliness was emphasized,
it needed to be slow and majestic.
I'll show it to you all myself.
Give him the baton.
It seems the teacher wants to teach his students a lesson.
It's not like that.
Don't you know that I don't take on students?
What do you do if they can't read music or understand you?
You have to step on them.
You all have the original music score, right?
Take it out.
Ignore the interpretation and his notations.
All you need to do is follow Faure's score and my baton.
And...
Du Ru Mi.
Du Ru Mi, look to your front, your front.
You can't hear, right?
You're exempt from this.
We're going to start from the beginning.
How was it?
Can you feel the difference?
As you just heard, this piece is elegant, lyrical.
It's a palace court dance that respects traditional form.
Not a song you hear from Gypsies dancing in front of a bonfire.
Um, Teacher.
There exist many different arrangements of Faure's Pavane already.
I think this sort of adaptation is permissible.
So, you're saying destroy everything?
Why don't you re-make Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 into a *Pumba? (*Korean beggars' dance)
And turn an opera like Don Giovanni into a rap with B-boys singing "Hey, man!"
I think your comparisons are too extreme.
If you consider,
that you are playing the piece without the original choral part.
I see that also as an arrangement.
To be honest, the tempo was slow...
and to make it sound more elegant, you slowed the beat way down.
You also made a subjective interpretation.
I think in my opinion,
this isn't a question of who's right and who's wrong.
It's the question of interpretation and style...
There are general principles regarding the style also.
How can you change the melody after tweaking the music?
Of course, conductors like Leopold Stokowski changed the music.
But is he at that level?
Even if you arrange music, there's a definite limit.
What the hell was that?
Aside from missing electric instruments and drums,
how is it different from Crossover!?
I can't accept this type of music as classical music.
These people shouldn't stand on a stage.
- Teacher. - I told you I'm not your teacher.
If you're calling me "teacher" as an audition judge,
then you should know even more that you shouldn't see me privately.
Why are you opposing us so much?
If you're trying to drive me to work harder, then...
Why would I?
No, I'm not.
You need to take in what I say literally.
I'm absolutely against you guys being on stage.
What I said just now,
don't think I was just defying you.
It was because I thought speaking to you honestly was what you preferred...
Oh, you got that one right.
But about me,
don't misjudge me.
I tell you I'm absolutely not a good person.
Right.
But this stage is our very last important chance.
If we lose this chance too, then we really...
So, you're telling me to say you're right when you're wrong?
You're telling me to alter my own beliefs for you guys?
Then...
do we really not have any skills?
Up to my standard? No.
Your standard doesn't consist of not missing a note or beat.
You said the most important thing was playing with heart and you saw that.
You also believe in playing different arrangements.
So then, just why...
There's a difference between playing with your heart and impudently altering the music.
Regarding the arrangement...
Alright, I understand.
But, why are you pushing us away so hard?
Me, the members, Ru Mi, why?
Something happened, didn't it?
Right?
It's because I have to survive, myself.
Do you want to be disappointed in me?
If so, I'll tell you.
Live in this world a little longer and then come find me.
You're too young to deal with the likes of me.
Don't worry too much.
We all tried hard.
We did it!
For real!?
With Maestro Kang so strongly opposing us, how...?
It seems Maestro Kang wasn't one of the judges.
They told him to judge, but he said he didn't want to.
Then one morning said he wanted to. That's why he showed up.
At any rate, that prankster, that bad-tempered person, that troublemaker...
But the two other judges said it was so-so.
It was alright. That's how we barely passed.
Ah, that's really great!
But then, just what's up with Maestro Kang?
I mean, he not only isn't helpful but instead...
He packs his lunch and goes around blocking our path.
Just what's up with him, really?
Unni, do you know why he's acting like that?
Well, you know he's such a peculiar person.
Just accept him as he is.
By the way, what happened with your ears?
You really can't hear?
Thing is...
You all heard it from Yong Gi hyung, right?
We passed.
Yes, we know. We did it.
Did we really pass?
Then, let's hurry up and go.
Hey, hey Gun Woo.
What should we prepare for first?
First, practicing is most important. I'll talk about it as we head on over.
Hey, hey, say it step by step.
We need to prepare for it perfectly.
Till the performance, we have...
Teacher!
If you only came to say your greetings, just turn around and leave.
I just helped a person who was unjustly fired.
There's no need to for me to receive your greetings nor for you to give them.
Of course, I need to say my thanks.
But, more importantly, the Mayor is instructing us to do things.
Did you give your approval?
A tasteful song and in addition, please create an elegant mood.
And whenever I make a point in my speech, play fanfare each time like...
For the election campaign?
Which piece would you like?
I'm not asking you to do it, Teacher.
I'm just asking these people for a personal favor.
How about Mozart's Requiem?
Even though it's a complicated piece.
Bizet's Carmen should be good too.
It digs deep to reveal the ugly nature of mankind.
This isn't the time to act like a know-it-all.
If I lose, then this City Orchestra won't exist.
Is following an election campaign and playing fanfares what a City Orchestra does?
Are you treating us like some xylophone, harmonica,
or recorder lying around your house?
Teacher,
if Choi Suk Kyun really does get elected, at this rate...
you're cutting your nose to spite your face.
Even if I cut my nose, I don't conduct with it.
Don't concern yourself.
That's why I told you to go ask the choir earlier.
After paying for the endorsement, the choir sings bang, bang.
Now that is an election campaign!
What's with these people?
Why? Really!
Why? When did I?
Teacher, it wasn't me.
You came early.
Yeah.
Hyung.
Hyung, you're sleeping as soon as you've arrived?
Let him sleep.
He said he stayed up all night.
He ran out of money,
so he spent yesterday going to cabaret bars.
It seems he played all night long.
What are you doing?
Let's keep our boundaries.
Okay?
I startled you.
Let's practice.
No, it's alright, Hyung.
We still have time until everyone comes.
Sleep a bit more.
No, I need to practice before everyone else.
I'm not just lacking in one or two areas.
Why can't I get this tongue or anything else working?
You said you didn't eat breakfast either.
Drink this.
Hyuk Kwon ahjussi left it.
He said it's great for your vitality.
And there's no garlic smell either.
I have pulsating virility even without this.
Who's going to be responsible if I drink this?
Park Hyuk Kwon, that traitor.
He went back into the City Orchestra alone, and he gives us this for compensation.
If I were him, just because I was sorry...
I would have given everyone a slab of beef.
Not American beef but *Hanwu, (*Korean beef)
less than 20 months old, yes.
He just gives us children's crackers.
Seven years old or younger.
Five years old or younger.
Nine years old or younger.
Twelve years old or younger.
What is this?
Hey, Gun Woo.
Hey, Gun Woo, take a look at this.
A soprano acquaintance I know is debuting
and needs an orchestral accompaniment.
Rather than splitting up, working part-time jobs, and practicing,
it'll be better working together.
- That's contact number, so try calling them. - What's this? How much is it anyway?
That traitor.
He said he was going to buy a house, but did he even make a payment?
And, just how expensive is the cost of his new baby's formula?
Ah, just how much is this?
100,000 won?
But, 90,000 won would have been enough for us!
I'll hold on to this until I'm completely hungry...
Yeah, I was about to head out.
I'll be right there.
Ahjum...
no Jung Hee Yun,
what are you doing here?
You're not going to the practice?
I don't feel so good.
Would you tell them I want to skip today's practice?
Does Jin Soo smoke?
No, I think Jin Soo's dad smokes.
I think he's going to this place too.
[Receipt: Skating Rink]
I doubt it's with another woman.
Probably just met with someone like the insurance ahjumma briefly at a cafe...
Right?
That must be it.
So, why did he go to a place like the skating link?
He also bought a beret.
Why would he, at his age, hold a cigarette rakishly in his mouth...
buy a beret to dress up stylishly,
and go to a skating link?
It has to be another woman.
I'm sure of it.
I cook, do the laundry, and obediently do everything he asks.
He goes around willy-nilly doing all kinds of shit.
It's probably not like that.
Ahjussi probably has a reason...
Du Ru Mi, you're being really funny.
Why are you on Jin Soo's dad's side?
Um, I'm just...
Since I didn't hear his side of the story...
If you listen, I'm sure you'll understand...
Right.
Must be great to have such a high level of understanding.
Is that how you completely understand Maestro Kang,
even though he asks you to leave and all that?
Even though you can't hear too well, instead of overlooking it, he...
Well, he's naturally that sort of a person.
I'm really not doing this because of Gun Woo.
It's because I'm frustrated with you.
I'm worried you're going to end up like me.
I didn't like him by looking only at his positive qualities.
Teacher and I were both lonely so...
So, that's why I leaned on him...
but I now know that I shouldn't lean on him anymore.
And I know that he doesn't want that either.
He's essentially a very self-centered person,
the teacher is.
Right.
But even knowing all that, you still like him?
Well, it's closer to solace than like.
I'm just saying "like."
But is it really comforting giving all you have and getting nothing?
That's community service.
Then, Ru Mi, you don't need any comfort from Maestro Kang?
See,
you're disappointed, aren't you?
That's why you should come to your senses before it's too late.
If you continue caring for him one-sidely, it will become a habit.
Look at me. It became a habit for me.
Someone who childishly goes skating or wherever,
while I can't even ask him about it.
And, I'm here going through his pockets.
Well anyway, he hasn't even shown his face this morning.
Just where in the world did he go?
Ah, forget it.
I'll just wear whatever's lying around and go to practice.
Wait, wait, wait!
Don't you think the accompaniment's too loud?
I can't hear my daughter's voice.
We'll play a little softer.
We'll go directly into the 11th measure.
It's still too loud!
This will be my daughter's debut.
She's main character.
Not you people.
But, what do we do if you continue overpowering her voice?
Were we too loud?
I think your daughter's voice was too small.
Um, we did play it soft enough.
Pianissimo.
We'll play it very softly.
Um, hold on a sec.
Let's do it after I drink water.
Mom, my water.
Oh, sure, sure, water.
You're tired, right?
Looks like you're in for some tough times.
Who the hell is he?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
They said your voice was too small!
We had to play so softly, I was scared to breathe. I thought I'd die of suffocation.
That girl has the voice of an ant. And she thinks she's going to sing?
We're going to practice in ten minutes.
Just ten more minutes.
The busier we get, we should remember to relax.
Hey, Ru Mi, can I ask you for another arrangement?
Sure, it's fine by me. What is it?
Ah, another side job came in.
And because it's after the Citizen's Day Concert,
I didn't think it'd affect our practice.
This, Dream of a Goose.
Dream of a Goose?
This is a mainstream song.
Yeah.
It's for *Insooni's accompaniment. (*Insooni is a Korean female singer)
And since she's using an orchestra,
I wanted it to be more grandiose.
Because it's mainstream, it's not alright with you?
Hmm, no.
Well, it's not like there's rank in music.
If you listen and it sounds good, then it's good music.
Okay buddy.
I'll try this.
By the way, is your musical interpretation going well?
Well,
I was thinking of following the teacher's advice and going with the original.
But, it's not going too well.
Maybe it's because it's not my style.
You know, Carlos Kleiber...
that favorite conductor of yours.
Did you know that before concert,
he sent a letter to all conductors and asked them for their music?
You know how you see conductors taking notes on their sheet music, right?
He collected them to read and study, to make his own interpretations.
Did you know that?
I knew that.
Oh, I just thought you didn't.
You know his style was completely different from Toscanini, right?
But, he even collected all of Toscanini's notes and read them.
You really knew that?
Hey, I told you I knew!
I think that's why he was really great at interpreting music.
But, did you really, truly know that?
Jeez!
Huh?
What is this?
It can't go like this.
Why? What's wrong?
The mayoral election.
It's today.
Right, voting!
My, I didn't exercise my citizen's rights.
That's not the problem.
Right now, Mayor Kang's about to lose.
It looks like Rep. Choi will win.
What?
Is that true?
Hey, move! Move! Move!
While initial polls showed candidate Kang ahead, Choi is now leading...
When did the tide turn?
Hey, Choi Bleepety Bleep can't win!
They need a recount!
What do we do about this!?
Ah, what's the difference in their votes?
This is where the City Symphony Orchestra practices.
The scenery is, without a doubt, the best.
I suggested for it to be in this place, so...
Isn't it really great?
If you head on over there, there's French bathroom.
Please step aside.
Um, Teacher.
I don't think you watched the T.V., but
this is the yesterday's elected...
Isn't it still before the inauguration?
And even if inaugurated,
it's not like all the roads of Suk Ran City are the Mayor's private property.
You know, right?
Our Teacher's incorrigible side, to him, is one of his charms.
Is practicing for the anthem going well?
You need to perform at my inauguration.
You know that that's the City Orchestra's duty, right?
If you'll only treat me with common sense, then I'll do what I need to do.
You also need to perform a congratulatory song.
And also, my favorite song.
Shall I pick one for you that fits the image of a new age?
Are you giving me instructions right now?
What do you mean by "instructions"?
It's an order.
What happens if I refuse?
Get shot to death?
Does my neck get sliced by the guillotine?
In a democratic nation, can such things happen?
Ah, is that so?
I thought an army suddenly raised a coup d’état
and seized political control.
But, that isn't true?
You keep saying things that go against common sense.
I can't perform even the anthem.
Just grab a microphone and sing it yourself.
Ah, the teacher's incorrigibility is one charming aspect.
[From: Fighting Cockerel]
First message.
I heard the newly elected Mayor headed your way.
Did you see him?
Well, I am worried since...
You squashed him for good, right? Sweet!
To celebrate the Teacher's victory,
Du Ru Mi is playing
Liebestraum.
Listen to this deaf girl play out of tune.
You just insulted me, right?
To tell you the truth, I only practiced up to this part.
Listen to it on a CD later.
Geez, Teacher.
Just why in the world did you act like that?
Now that Mayor Kang is out,
times have changed.
Then, to adapt to the new age...
You, Chief Clerk Kim, adapt to the new age all you want.
Then, I'll calm down Rep. Choi's feelings.
I'll send something to him as if you sent it yourself.
What should it be?
Congratulatory flowers or a small gift that won't burden him...
Understood.
Ah, I don't care anymore either!
Wait.
That flower thing,
send it to this place.
What are you doing? What's wrong?
What's wrong with you?
The music is destroyed!
Teacher,
individual practice time has ended.
Stop. Stop.
What's happening here?
It must be filled with emotion, rising up gently.
In section 22's rapid crescendo,
the original score doesn't need to be strictly followed.
Make it a little gentler.
Let's try it again.
But, during practice yesterday,
it was you who said, that it must rise rapidly and forcefully.
Should it be gentler?
Or do we stick with the original score?
Forcefully, according to the score...
No...
There was a crescendo earlier, so it should be...
Teacher, did the practice go smoothly today?
The bouquet you were talking about,
I've already sent it over.
How was it?
My music. You've heard it a lot, so you're familiar with it.
The practice just now, how was it to you?
Teacher, your...
your music has always been very good.
- Very elegant, and lyrical. - Lyrical?
Beethoven's 5th Symphony, 4th movement,
You're saying it's lyrical, and not forceful?
Oh, forceful...
of course.
But in this strength, there's a trace of elegance.
Just after he fought and won against himself and fate,
and he's on the road towards glory.
But you're saying that I'm trying to act elegant. Is that what you're saying?
So, what I'm saying...
What I mean is, full of glory,
with a hint of elegance,
warmth.
Warmth?
Not really...
When did you send the bouquet?
For you.
Who sent these flowers?
Look around, there should be a card.
Please sign here.
Thank you.
-Goodbye. -Bye.
[I wish his continued progress for eternity.] [Conductor Kang Gun Woo.]
What's this about?
Did they send it to the right place?
Teacher! What are you doing!
My music's changed!
It's destroyed!
Are you saying, it's because of me?
No.
Blame me.
The problem lies with me.
Granddad.
Eat this on your own later on.
I'm off for my lessons.
When I'm back, you've got to be alright.
Who is it?
You... Can I help you?
The old man told me to come.
He called me this morning.
He probably was still normal in the morning.
But now,
his dementia is affecting him again.
He's senile now.
How about you? Are you going for lessons every day?
I'm just about to.
Later on, get him to eat something.
Where's your mind wandering to now?
Your world, it must be very beautiful.
Without worries,
without any change,
just you alone.
I envy you.
That time,
why did you have to do that to me?
If I didn't listen to your advice that time...
However bad the loneliness, I was already used to bearing with it.
But now, I both want to rely on someone,
and I'm filled with hope. Become such a childish person.
But, for me it's really uncomfortable to feel responsible for someone.
I'm not accustomed to it.
And furthermore, I have no confidence.
I'm really just making myself angry.
But a person like me,
before something happens, I can't really know...
And suddenly, when someone comforts me, I...
And so? What do you want me to do?
I've been clear-headed for awhile, man.
I didn't bother saying anything, but
what are you prattling on and on about?
So what?
You're talking about Du Ru Mi?
I've heard from Yi Deun.
She says you're dating her.
I'm not! I'm just...
Why did you call me here? Explain that first.
I called you here because of Yi Deun.
Let's finish this first.
I'm asking you, what's happening with Du Ru Mi?
Why aren't you using respectful language?
I'm not related to you, so why should I?
So?
Do you think going out with Du Ru Mi is embarrassing?
I've already said I'm not.
I will never...
Yes... people get embarrassed.
I've had a similar experience before.
While I was dating another woman.
I was probably around thirty then.
She was a harpist.
With her, it was love at first sight.
I always kept it from my wife.
Just date her.
Do you have a wife? Or kids?
Besides that dog of yours, what else is stopping you?
What are you scared of?
Afraid of your feelings?
Yes, I'm a little scared of facing my feelings. You have a problem with that?
When I was young, I too experienced what others did.
Love?
It's only something that wears you out.
And now I'm already forty!
Am I still supposed to go have new experiences?
Now that I've finally settled down,
my life's become comfortable.
Why do I need to keep trying that?
Break out of my shell?
What am I a teenager going through puberty?
I'm already forty.
I can't change anymore,
and I hate change.
Well...
what happened in the end?
I mean the harpist,
the woman you met without your wife knowing.
We broke up.
Loving someone for your whole life,
it takes a great deal of courage.
Sensitive, suspicious people like us,
we can't do it.
You've worked hard today.
You too.
I have to rush for an evening show again today.
Your conducting skills are improving daily!
Stop playing, I'm in a rush!
Let go of me!
Come to my house.
Du Ru Mi.
Smetana's "From My Life."
Listen to the 4th track.
At the second climax,
the First Violin plays a high harmonic E alone.
It's what Smetana really heard when he was deaf.
Is it compensation for trampling on my bouquet?
Yes.
Use that song and endure it.
Alone.
You should know very well why I asked you to leave.
I can't conduct for you.
Life is something one needs to go through alone anyway,
isn't it?
Alright.
I never thought it was because you loved me so much,
that you started things with me.
It's just that you're going deaf, and you're too lonely.
That's why you're temporarily going out with me, isn't it?
It's the same for me.
I was a little frustrated, so I got closer to you.
But, these feelings...
they will change eventually.
I don't enjoy these feelings.
I believe in things that won't change.
I'm referring to my music,
and my Thoven.
Not you, Du Ru Mi.
Then,
what about that ring?
Since it'll also change,
why have you been wearing that ring all this time?
This brings back many memories.
Have you ever seen memories that change?
And it's made of platinum.
It'll never change.
What's wrong?
Can't hear me clearly?
No.
Are you thinking that I'm despicable?
Yes.
Maybe I'm looking for a world without anyone,
and I'm running away from reality.
But to me, that's very comfortable!
Why should I leave my comfort zone?
Why should I worry about a deaf person?
Why does even my music change?
I don't need that reliance.
Once I'm too comfortable, I can't continue my passion anymore.
I can't immerse myself in my music.
So...
please help me.
Don't let me waiver again.
Okay.
It's also because you're near me,
that I've been growing more dependent on you.
I've been becoming fragile.
Maybe it'll be best for the both of us,
if we weren't to meet again.
But Teacher,
it's a little strange.
After my ears couldn't hear clearly,
your words... I'm hearing them clearer.
So I...
can understand you.
Listen to the 4th track.
At the second climax.
The First Violin plays a high harmonic E alone.
It's what Smetana really heard when he was deaf.
Use that song and endure it.
Alone.
I'm talking about Carlos Kleiber.
You know how conductors like to annotate their scores?
I've heard that he collected them all, and after learning from them,
he made his own interpretations.
That's why he was so great at interpreting music.
Teacher, can I borrow your music score for a while?
Use your own.
I want to see the annotations you've made.
I want to, as you told me,
conduct it according to the original score.
I'm still too unskilled to do it.
So I want to use yours as a reference.
Do you still want to learn from me?
Yes.
I'll still treat you in the same difficult way.
That's my personality, I can't change it.
That doesn't matter.
Using your own words, our styles differ too much.
Have you seen the positive and negative ends of two batteries touch before?
The current flows, but there will be sparks eventually.
Out of the two of us, you will be the first to explode.
Because you're my student, you're weaker.
But if you explode, it'll still be fresh.
As for me,
I'll just become a useless lump of metal.
Is that still alright?
I've already plotted against you, don't you realize that?
I've abandoned you.
What?
The construction that was going on during your concert in the field,
I could've phoned the governor, and ordered him to stop them,
but I didn't.
I just looked on coldly from afar, watching you screw up.
Why I did that?
Do you know?
Because someone said you're better than me.
Said that in expressing emotions, you surpass me.
Said I'm raising a ferocious tiger.
Surely I can't sit and wait for the tiger I'm raising to come and eat me?
Teacher,
what are you trying to say?
Jealousy!
I was jealous of you.
So I tried to get rid of you.
I'm not saying this to spur you on,
or spin lies for you.
I'm just telling you the straight truth, as it is.
You mean...
that...
you're starting to hate me?
At least, in that moment, I hated you very much.
And I really wanted to get rid of you.
I knew that something like this could happen. That's why I tried to send you away earlier.
But why did you come back!? Why come back and turn me into this!?
I always thought,
always believed, that you liked me.
I'm sorry.
I'm such a selfish person.
And it's not just me. Everyone in this world is the same.
Humility, care, noble love,
all those only exist between parents and their children.
No.
Even between a father and son,
most people also can't do it.
The world's like that.
Become a little cruel.
That's the only,
last piece of advice I can give you.
Park Hyuk Kwon.
Did something happen to Teacher?
Exactly, why isn't he here yet?
Strange. He's not picking up his phone either.
Do you know his address?
Oh yes, Jung Hee Yun.
Yes. Yes.
I've entered with the password you gave me.
So I'm in now.
Where did Gun Woo go?
Ah, there's a practice session later this afternoon.
Didn't that fella bring his phone with him?
Anyway, I've got it.
Okay.
Teacher.
Kang Mae.
Teacher.
Oh! Why's your forehead so hot?
Teacher!
Really...
Really?
Got it, traitor.
Gun Woo.
Great that you're here.
When you went out, how was Kang Mae?
Was he alright?
I don't know.
I didn't see him.
I just came back from buying music scores.
I've heard he has a fever, it's quite serious.
What should we do?
Shouldn't you at least go back and check on him?
It's almost time for practice, why go back?
Hey, you...
Do you want me to go?
I'm not close to him, true?
Gun Woo!
Sorry I'm late.
How is he? Is he still very hot?
Yes, 38.5 degrees. It just refuses to go down.
At 10, Jun Ki will come and take over.
Watch over him carefully until then.
Forget it, I'll just stay overnight.
Joo Yeon says she'll buy porridge and bring it over.
He didn't even eat this.
I tried to feed him, and he spat it all out.
I'm leaving it to you.
Get back quickly.
Why does our conductor Kang look so pitiful like this?
Don't worry,
I took care of my sick father for most of my life.
At seven tomorrow morning,
I guarantee that you'll be fine.
Come,
I'll apply it again.
Your nostrils are really big.
They're all blocked.
How are you going to breathe fresh air like that?
These things, they need to be dug out.
Look at this.
I will take care of you properly, Teacher.
He's quite handsome.
If only his temper was a little better,
he'd be such a good person.
Ah, is it still blocked?
Oh, so much!
You'll be fine now.
[I'm off for practice, eat the medicine in order later.]
No, no, no!
This part,
it's not an ensemble.
Let's just use the piano accompaniment.
Will that do?
How can that be?
Everyone please think about it. Who has brought you to this place?
All of you here, you're here only because of me.
Then you should be listening to me.
Giving all these excuses,
will that do?
Then why do you still need a conductor?
To tell you frankly, lady,
for show.
My daughter can't conduct herself.
A college student, who never even attended university, I know.
Only these qualifications, and still so concerned about his image.
When it's cheap, how can there be quality?
I should have known to fork out a little more, and get some better people.
What are you still doing?
Start.
At this time, we need to reconsider what's efficient.
Though cash is important,
if we only work, it'll affect our practice.
Our concert is coming very soon,
I think it's time for us to stop, and concentrate on preparing for the concert.
What do you think?
Yes... that's great!
What do you think you're doing?
You said this is your daughter's first time on stage?
How much did you pay?
Pay?
What did you say?
At least twenty or thirty million, I suppose.
Do you want me to tell you how it can be used more efficiently?
First, leave your precious daughter under a waterfall,
and let her stay there for a few nights.
She should shout loudly for help, and raise her pitch.
What? You!
- You dare to... - This voice is pretty good.
It'd be great if it was as high when you were singing.
And you, Auntie,
you seem to always mention your experience.
What's so great about people like you, who use their money to pave their way?
I feel that our experience is a lot better.
At least we don't stink of money.
What did you say?
You! How dare you...
It's been hard on you today,
2 o'clock, we'll meet at the practice hall.
Well said!
You bunch of...
Mom!
How dare you...
You'd better practice on your own.
How dare you? Really!
You! Do you know who I am?
Me, I'm a university graduate.
Do you know what people like you are called?
A piece of poop.
You!
Got it.
Gun Woo,
you're really scary today.
Stop. Stop.
Where's section 22's rapid crescendo?
Restart.
But,
during the previous practice, Teacher,
you said it had to be gentler here.
Play it according to the original intention of the score.
Besides that, can there be any other interpretation?
No? Yes.
Again.
Conductor Kang!
What are you doing in the middle of practice!?
Have you heard?
Just now Minister Kim, no,
the newly appointed governor,
said the Municipal Party Committee received a petition.
There's a petition for removal.
To...
remove you.
They want to fire you!
