THE DAY BEFORE LECTURES BEGAN
MUSIC THEORY
TO VIOLINIST MS. CHAE SONG AH
It's just a signed CD.
TO VIOLINIST MS. CHAE SONG AH
Will it be...
hard to suddenly...
schedule a recital?
It's your sabbatical.
It is.
I need some money.
How much?
About 20,000 dollars.
I'm sorry to ask so suddenly.
I will check, but...
it's best not to get your hopes up.
Yes, I know.
All the halls will be rented out.
More than that...
Even if we manage to book you a hall,
it'll be hard to fill the seats.
Since Seung Ji Min won a piano competition,
he took a lot of the market.
It'll be...
much more than you think.
Please...
teach me.
I'll enter the Tchaikovsky competition.
By the time the calluses on my fingers hardened,
He's so handsome.
- Thank you. - You're so handsome.
I thought my heart would have toughened as well.
Since there was...
nothing special between us.
That I would be...
okay now.
I told myself that every day.
Could you sign this for me?
Song Ah.
Are you okay?
I like you.
I like you, Joon Young.
That day, he told me his story.
About his piano,
JUNG KYUNG SEON
about his love,
about his friend.
He told me about the feelings...
he tried so hard to empty...
in case they overflowed.
"Träumerei"...
was like a habit.
I'd sit at the piano every day...
and play it.
It was like emptying the emotions I'd kept bottled up all night.
Jung Kyung's mother's accident...
didn't happen because of you.
But still,
it's not that simple for me.
I'm sorry to say this.
I'll need...
a little time.
Can you...
wait for me?
Yes.
I'll wait.
EPISODE 7: INQUIETO, RESTLESS, UNSTABLE
Oh, right. Which session is your graduation performance?
The fifth.
Okay. Good.
That piece, Franck's sonata.
Play that for your graduation to practice being on stage,
and take the graduate school entrance exam.
Who's your accompanist?
I'll ask the piano major who accompanied me...
on my practical exam.
You'll play with a student?
A graduate school entrance exam isn't like a practical exam.
An accompanist is so important.
A violin sonata...
is a sonata for violin and piano.
It's not for a violin and an accompanying pianist.
The two people playing the sonata must breathe together.
You must think together and create music together.
You're companions and partners.
Okay.
If you don't know a pianist, call this person.
She's my friend's daughter.
She got a Master's at Julliard for piano accompaniment.
I sent you her number.
You remember what I said to you during our first tutoring session.
At a competition, you must get...
7, 8, 9 points from all the judges.
If you get 10 from 1 or 2 judges and 6 or 7 from the rest,
you can never win the competition is what I believe I told you.
Yes.
I never forgot that.
You're doing the right thing.
Satisfy everyone to a certain degree.
Whatever field you work in,
knowing what you're good at is a skill.
That goes for this time as well.
Do what you're good at, not what you want to do. Okay?
Yes.
Music exists only when there's someone to listen.
Unless you want to play alone in a tiny room,
win a competition.
Even if I don't tell you,
I know you're much more desperate.
Mr. Park.
What?
Didn't Park Joon Young sign with Chris' company...
after winning the Chopin Competition?
And Chris gave the management rights in Korea to our foundation.
Yes. It's like outsourcing, for old time's sake.
What if...
Chris actually takes back...
the Korean management rights?
Will he make Park Joon Young sign with another agency?
Their contract is still valid for the next few years.
Ms. Cha will sort it out.
What?
Right... Of course...
It all sounds like an excuse to us, unfortunately.
You leave us no choice but to take back...
Kyunghoo's management rights of Joon Young in Korea.
Wait, hello? Chris.
Song Ah. Did you decide what to play for your senior recital?
Franck's sonata.
Isn't that the piece for the graduate school entrance exam?
- Did the professor okay that? - Yes.
Hey, isn't that... Park Joon Young?
He's looking at us.
May I...
join you?
You're also taking senior lectures,
but none of them overlap with ours.
It's so sad.
Will you do a senior recital?
- I'll come and watch. - Me too.
Okay, please do.
- We have a lecture. - Already?
We have to go.
See you again soon.
- Song Ah, enjoy your lunch. - Thanks.
Why won't you say anything as if we're strangers?
Who are you?
You've never been to the student union?
I've only been to the cafeteria downstairs.
There are so many clubs.
If there's one you like, why not join it?
Is it okay to join two months before I graduate?
Of course not.
It's over there.
This is SRUPO.
Where you spent your youth.
What? My youth?
Yes, well, I guess so.
This is where I decided to study music.
The truth is, I haven't been here in such a long time.
I don't know the current members.
But I'm sure they'll recognize you.
They'll be so surprised.
There's no one inside.
- The door's locked. - Yes.
Where do you go now? To Kyunghoo's office?
No, I'll stay here and practice.
I can't use the rehearsal room when there's a performance.
What about you?
I guess I'm going home.
Anyway, tomorrow...
So, tomorrow...
What time are your lectures?
I only have one in the afternoon.
Shall we get ice cream at the student union tomorrow?
Do they still sell it?
Yes. I'd like that.
It tastes the same as before, though it's 50 cents more expensive.
What is it?
It's just that you talk like...
an old man.
Come on. We're the same age.
Your shoelace came undone. Hold this for me.
No.
I'll tie it myself.
In the movies, the man always does the girl's shoelaces.
- In the movies? - Yes.
That makes the girl fall for him.
I don't want to fall for you.
Give mine back.
Don't laugh. I'm serious.
I'm not laughing.
I said don't laugh.
Okay.
What...
Use this.
I'll just go to the restroom and wash my hands.
Here's a reminder that we're hiring because...
Professor Song Jeong Hee who taught violin is retiring.
That's why we have an opening,
but the position is open to anyone who teaches a string instrument.
We will hire just one person with the highest marks...
out of all violin, viola, cello, and double bass majors.
Details on your master class, recital, and interview...
will be uploaded to the noticeboard on our website.
Thank you.
Excuse me, then.
- Leave it with me. - What?
Give me your violin.
You can't go anywhere with it.
Don't worry. I won't run off.
Trust me.
I didn't know you applied too.
You could've told me.
Aren't you angry?
About what?
I'm trying to compete with you.
I want to take your position. Doesn't that make you mad?
What right do I have to get mad at you?
There's nothing between us anymore.
I'm glad you've chosen your path.
You're glad?
Do you feel better?
Then how do you expect me to be?
We broke up.
What more do you expect?
Jung Kyung.
What did I do wrong?
Did I ever do anything you disliked?
What did I do wrong for you to do this?
I kept thinking about what I did wrong.
What did I miss for you to leave me?
But no matter how much I think about it,
all I've done is look at you for 10 years.
Is that wrong?
Did you get sick of it?
How could you throw away our 10 years like that?
What do you want me to do then?
Did I hide anything from you?
I told you I was having second thoughts.
I asked you to hold onto me.
But you didn't do anything.
It's not like I didn't do anything. I couldn't.
Since the reason you were having second thoughts...
was because of Joon Young.
You're right.
I love Joon Young.
I... I love him.
Stop it.
Hyeon Ho, she's just angry and saying anything...
Did you like Jung Kyung?
My goodness. How could you...
Is this the one I gave you?
Before the Chopin Competition?
Yes.
Use this.
How could you do this to me... How could you like... Hey.
How could you do that after watching us for 10 years?
How?
Park Joon Young. Tell me.
- Tell me, you jerk. - Stop it.
If you have anything to say, say it to me.
You two.
What did you do in New York?
What did you do to make you both lie like this?
Did you...
sleep together?
Yes.
We did.
No.
We didn't. Jung Kyung, what are you talking about?
Hyeon Ho, we really didn't.
We didn't. Tell him it's not true!
What's not true?
You love me.
Tell me.
I want you to say it.
Hyeon Ho.
Song Ah.
Tell Hyeon Ho it isn't true.
Song Ah.
That never happened, I swear.
Please believe me.
I do.
I believe you.
But...
Between you and Jung Kyung...
I mean, between the years you two have known each other...
Is there any space...
for me?
I'll wait for you.
I will wait.
But I want to know that at least.
I'll go now.
Give it to me.
Give that to me. I'll hold it for you.
I won't run away with that.
Leave it with me.
You can't go anywhere with it.
Don't worry. I won't run off.
Trust me.
It's okay, thank you.
HAN HYEON HO
CHAE SONG AH
THE NEXT EPISODE WILL AIR SOON
- Hey, Eun Ji. - Hey, about that cake.
- Cake? - Yes.
The one you brought for Song Ah's birthday.
Where did you get it? It was so delicious.
When do you need it by?
It's in Jamsil, and you have to make a reservation a week before.
What? A week?
I'll just get one from a bakery nearby. Thanks.
By the way, the rookie on my team said she has time this week.
- How about you? - What?
I told you I'd set you up.
I'll send you her number, so give her a call.
Hey...
What is this?
- Happy birthday. - Happy birthday.
Thank you.
Come with us.
No, Joon Young...
Okay. I'll come with you.
Does it make sense to do it now?
It doesn't, right?
Chae Song Ah.
What?
You weren't listening, were you?
I'm sorry, what were you saying?
Forget it.
Eun Ji told me...
Dong Yun is really going to meet that girl.
Why do you look so down?
Did something bad happen?
No, it's nothing.
Don't lie to me. I can feel something's wrong.
It's nothing.
Ms. Chae, who are you trying to fool?
It's written all over your face.
I told you it's nothing.
What is it? Tell me.
It's just...
There's someone I like.
Someone you like?
Who? Is it someone I know?
It's Park Joon Young.
The pianist Park Joon Young?
Yes.
So, does he know that you like him?
He probably does.
- Since I told him. - What? You told him?
- You did? - Hey, quiet down.
So, Chae Song Ah told a guy...
that she likes him?
Yes. I told him I like him.
And?
What did he say?
He asked me to wait.
But...
I don't think he'll come to me.
If he wanted to, he would have already.
Why is the weather so nice?
Tell me about it.
In this case, since we have these three notes,
we get a minor triad.
So the major seventh combined to the existing minor triad...
will form a minor-major seventh...
Young In, it's me.
How is Director Nah?
I'm glad.
I just arrived at the hospital. Do you want to come?
She'll be happy to see you.
Oh, I'll go next time.
Next time.
Okay.
We'll lose our management rights for Joon Young?
Yes. I'm trying to persuade Chris,
but he's so adamant over the phone.
I'm sorry. It's all my fault.
What did Joon Young say?
I haven't discussed it with him yet.
We talked briefly on the phone about something else,
but he didn't mention it, so I don't think he knows.
I see.
Did Joon Young start his lessons again with Professor Yoo?
Yes.
Ms. Cha.
Isn't it awkward with Professor Yoo?
It's been ages since we broke up.
It's not awkward, but not that uncomfortable either.
Once it passes by, love isn't a big deal either.
We have so much to do in life to be lost in love.
But who would know that when they're young?
I was like that too.
So...
That's why I hurt people on purpose.
Joon Young, that's exactly why you disappoint me.
If one person is very successful or lags behind,
it might cause conflict between each other.
Will they understand with time?
Now, love is everything to them, so they'll blame me.
That I hurt their feelings.
But later on...
No, even if they don't understand, so be it.
But...
It makes me feel bad.
Gosh, I also want to...
be remembered as a good person to everyone.
You are already a good person to many people.
This is so annoying.
Mom, he told me to wait.
Mr. Kim said if I waited,
he'd allocate this case to me.
But Ms. Jang took the case instead.
That case was supposed to go to her anyway.
Still, he told me I'd get the case.
Just forget about it.
Is that the only case at your law firm? Find another one.
No! I already did all the research thinking I'd get the case.
Darn it! This is so annoying.
You should know how to hold your temper from time to time.
How could you be so different from your sister?
What do you mean?
What? Do you expect me to live like a pushover like her?
- Why are you taking it out on me? - I can't take this anymore.
I'll go complain to Mr. Kim about this.
Complain about what?
He probably just trusted Ms. Jang more than you.
That's not true!
That case was mine, seriously!
He shouldn't have told me to wait in the first place.
My goodness.
I worked day and night because of that case.
How could Mr. Kim do this to me?
What's with her?
Yes, Mom.
No. I watched a movie with Seung Woo.
Did I ever say I wasn't going to practice?
I'm going to practice before going to sleep.
Stop talking about Juilliard!
You couldn't go there either.
Can't you be more careful?
- It's okay. - I'm sorry.
- I'll get it. - No, just go get some napkins.
- No, I got it. - No, I'll do it.
Seung Woo.
- The thing is... - Is this...
your application?
You didn't apply to Juilliard?
ADMISSIONS, THE JUILLIARD SCHOOL, KIM HAE NA
Yes?
- Hey, Song Ah. - Dad.
How about a drink?
- Sure. - All right.
- Song Ah. - Yes?
Don't mind what your sister said earlier.
I told her off about it.
Dad.
Yes?
If someone just waits and does nothing,
do people think they're frustrating?
I'm good at waiting too.
I wait for the bus, the subway,
and I wait for the food at restaurants.
Song Ah.
I'm...
waiting to see how you find your happiness.
No matter what path you take,
I trust you'll find the road that makes you the happiest.
Thank you.
You have so many CDs.
"Violinist Chae Song Ah".
That's cool.
TO VIOLINIST MS. CHAE SONG AH
Did he sign this for you because you were carrying...
a violin at his performance?
What a nice guy.
Yes.
He is a nice guy.
Is this the one I gave you?
Before the Chopin Competition?
Yes.
Use this.
What a waste of time.
- You're home. - Yes.
Did you practice together?
Yes. But I didn't like her,
so I'll look for someone else.
I see.
You should get some rest.
Okay, you too.
Dad.
I broke up.
With Hyeon Ho?
Yes. You remember his name.
Jung Kyung.
As time passes,
you tend to remember when you hurt someone...
more than when someone hurt you.
So don't...
hurt someone too deeply.
Thank you, Mr. Han.
No problem.
If she tries her best,
do you think she'll get into Seoryeong University like you?
I don't even hope for her to get first place...
in the performance test like you.
She's practicing very hard lately.
I told you.
Just make it into Seoryeong University.
I'll do anything you want.
Did you just hear that? You're the witness.
Oh, okay.
Gosh, how silly of me.
This is for today's lesson. Here.
Thank you.
I can only imagine how proud your parents were of you.
That's not true.
Welcome. Goodness.
Oh, gosh. You surprised me.
What's up with you?
My back hurts.
- Mom. - What?
I'll become a good son. Just wait a little longer.
A good son?
Why make me wait instead of becoming one now?
Hey. What about me then?
Of course I meant both of you, like a set.
You got that right.
By the way, you should invite Joon Young over for dinner.
I'll cook something good for him.
Why do you never ask him...
to bring Jung Kyung over?
Are you jealous of your son's girlfriend?
He's so clueless.
They're not even married.
Asking her to come over will make her feel uncomfortable.
And I doubt Jung Kyung enjoys home-cooked meals like us.
Right?
I'm so tired.
I did three lessons today, and I'm exhausted.
- Are you tired? Go get some rest. - Bye.
- Okay. - I'll see you later.
Okay, see you later.
It's hot. Let's go inside and talk.
Actually...
Let's just talk here.
Why are you here?
I'm sorry.
For what?
It was a lie.
When I said I slept with Joon Young.
Why is that important now?
You said...
The fact that you said that...
shows me how you feel.
Do you know why I applied to Seoryeong University?
I have to do something. Anything.
Graduating summa cum laude from Seoryeong University...
and a PhD from Indiana means nothing.
There are too many cellists like me in Korea.
I'm not that well-off.
I must do anything I can to survive.
- Hyeon Ho. - The second reason is...
You...
I wanted to stand on your level.
I didn't want to be an embarrassment to you.
I wanted to be someone who deserves...
and suits to stand next to you.
That was my effort and my love for you.
It means nothing now, doesn't it?
Goodbye.
And don't come here again.
Okay, Song Ah.
Yes?
Let's stop there for today.
Okay.
- Professor. - Yes, hello.
What?
Not the living room. The master bedroom's curtains.
Take them to the dry cleaner's.
And this morning, my older child...
Joon Young.
Are you seeing a violinist?
Pardon?
I heard the girl did all she could to get close to you.
Is it true?
She's not like that.
Don't be so serious.
Are you seeing someone?
The music world is smaller than you think.
People love to talk about how you meet someone then break up.
The gossip lasts a long time.
If you are seeing someone,
stay under the radar for the girl's sake.
Hey. Here you go.
Why is making a chamber group so complicated?
I'm so glad to have you, Song Ah.
Joon Young.
Hello.
It's been a while. I heard you came back.
Yes.
Are you two acting indifferently because of me?
Pardon?
I hear you two are dating.
- No. - No.
You're not?
All the professors know.
Song Ah. None of the professors...
- knew who you were... - No.
It's really not true.
If it's not true, it's not true. No need to act so serious.
You're embarrassing me.
I apologize.
But the rumor isn't true.
Okay. I get it.
Excuse me.
Yes, Hae Na.
What?
Oh, really?
It can't be helped, then. I get it.
What a nuisance.
Oh, Song Ah. Will you take a master class?
Pardon?
I had asked Hae Na to go but she's sick.
It starts soon.
If you have no lectures, would you like to go?
Get a private lesson on your entrance exam piece.
You'll be taught by a professor candidate.
Her name is Lee Jung Kyung.
You don't have to go.
I'll do it.
I'd like a private lesson.
You'll pass the master class as long as you don't mess up badly.
The recital is what's important.
You must score lots of points on that.
So find a great pianist to accompany you.
- Okay? - Yes.
Won't you feel uncomfortable around Jung Kyung?
It won't be comfortable.
But...
my feelings for you are important,
but I have other things that I like...
and want to be good at.
Right now, to me,
getting into graduate school is really important.
So I don't want to...
lose an opportunity where I can...
learn something new because of my emotions.
I should go.
The rumor the professor mentioned.
I'm perplexed as to how it started,
but I'm upset.
Hearing you deny it so strongly in front of me...
was oddly upsetting.
I said it because of you.
In case the rumor puts you on the spot.
I'm concerned about you.
Don't talk like that.
Although you may just be saying it,
every single word you say...
and every little thing you do concerns me.
But now,
I don't want to feel that way anymore.
Song Ah.
Joon Young.
I'm glad to see you. I had something to tell you.
Play the piano for me at my recital.
No.
I won't play for you.
Dong Yun canceled the blind date?
Do you think it's because of me? Since he's concerned about me?
Song Ah, I...
Why are you here?
- It's all my fault. - What's your fault?
Song Ah, are you dating Park Joon Young?
A world-class musician won't date an ordinary student like her.
Is that why you kept pushing me away lately?
Every single word you say...
and every little thing you do concerns me.
Song Ah, I...
