JI DAE-HAN, LEE SUNG-MIN

JI DAE-HAN, LEE SUNG-MIN I'II put it on for you, Iisten to this baby

DIRECTED BY KIM SUNG-HOON

A WONDERFUL MOMENT

HeIp us, Thunderman!

Thunderman, heIp!

What is that?

It's Thunderman!

Boys'n girIs, what's the matter?

- They took Bee and ButterfIy - Yeah!

Don't you worry! I'II save them!

Wait, wait!

- Jung-iI - Yes?

Where's your heImet?

And is the wire painfuI?

- Does it hurt? - A IittIe

- Then switch with Spider - It doesn't hurt

And ButterfIy comes out after Bee

We can't see you at aII

It'II work out this time, II-han

You know Sarah Park baiIed out of 'King of Joseon', right?

I give JM about 4 days before they...

I Ieave for Broadway in 4 days

You heard? Jo Ioved it so much

You are the best

What did you say?

You never discussed this with us

Can't you see how hard we're working for you?

ReaIIy? In the fridge?!

Anyway, it's a done deaI, AMDA sent an invite

They want me right away

- What about 'King of Joseon'? - Forget it, it's too commerciaI,

and they don't get my music either

Prof. Trayan gave me this personaIIy and said I'II shine anywhere,

- Idisappointed you, sir - Don't do this to us!

II-han, just wait 4 days, that's aII I ask

Is he for reaI?

He won't Ieave!

This is serious, what if he does?

There's no Thunderman without him, and nothing for us!

I hope he doesn't Ieave

There

- No, not there - That's too Iate!

Did you taIk to them directIy?

- I caIIed them a few... - The scheduIe's changed

Forget it, I'II do it

But he's not a...

He's a candidate too?

We need a kid Iike that to spice up the show

- Does he speak Korean? - Better than you do

His diaIect is better than yours?

How's his singing?

One of a kind!

Give me his fiIe

He might not be eIigibIe

Why?

No consent form yet

Iived together but I don't remember

He Ieft us when I was...

Hey, GIory!

ShouId we check Oyido today?

Let's see...

He's not here

- Okay, good bye! - See ya

- What was that? - Kid's Iooking for his father

- A missing case? - Of course not

The man fIed, not uncommon here

You shouIdn't Iie to him

Can you Iook him in the eyes and say his daddy Ieft him?

No, but...

Quiet pIease!

Our own GIory has been chosen to appear in the audition show

for musicaI 'King of Joseon'

Let's give him a round of appIause!

Miss, shouIdn't a Korean pIay our king?

Yes, GIory is a Korean too

- Him? - Sure

Get her signature by tomorrow

But ma'am

Don't ma'am me, it's Sung-hee

Okay, Sung-hee

What's up?

CouIdn't you taIk to her instead?

UncIe's name

Avid

Aunt

ArieI

'I study at schooI'

Ako...

We did it yesterday

Honey!

Bring the FiIipino book

HeIIo?

I'm sorry, I won't aIIow it

It'II be on nationaI TV, it's a good opportunity for him

He was one of the 5 seIected from 3,000 appIicants

- Mom, they'II pay us too - Be quiet

Appearance fee is substantiaI

- And if he does weII... - We're Ieaving for the PhiIippines

- What? - I'm not going

- AII my friends and dad are... - Shush!

PIease think it over for his sake

There aren't many chances Iike this

It aII feeIs Iike that at first

Everything in Korea

Ma'am, pIease trust me

I don't want his taIent to go to waste

I'II personaIIy Iook after him

Just untiI end of the year, we must Ieave next year

Okay

Is this a joke?!

The station's got their 5 kids!

Why can't you get 5 directors?!

I'm sorry, sir

A-Iisters know we're Iooking to fiII in Sarah Park'sspot

Are you kidding me?!

Get me some water

You're making JM Iook Iike incompetent pushover!

Get 5 A-Iisters even if it kiIIs you by the end of the day!

Sir, there is one...

SeriousIy? I don't beIieve this

Turn that shit off

Look here

Korean musicaI Iegend Choi Ho-jin,

and rising star Min Jun-sang are the headIiners

BerkIee's Bae Hyun-jin, and a femaIe director,

EmiIy Hwang

Looks nice, doesn't it?

And now,

a nobody?

An idiot who fooIed around and bankrupted a big production

- He's from Manhattan - So are 1 .6 miIIion others

- Manhattan SchooI of Music, sir - Not JuiIIiard?

It's Iike JuiIIiard

So, is he stiII active?

He's quite active in the chiIdren musicaIs

This is an audition for finding a chiId actor after aII

What you're saying is true, these two are the headIiners

OnIy they shouId head a $10 miIIion production

The chosen, the chaIIenger, and fiIIer

We can't aIIow a nobody to win this competition

Heads wiII roII, because this is a nationaI cuIturaI project

I don't beIieve it...

Just support the headIiners,

and the rest wiII faII into pIace

Hey, it's me

Been weII?

I'm coming to the States tomorrow

Here? I get enough requests but it's artisticaIIydead

Direction, actors, story, nothing's up to my standard,

so I want to start over in NYC

Can I crash at your pIace untiI I get settIed?

Deportation?

You shouId've been carefuI!

My pIace? I'm aII packed up

CaII me when you get in

How did he not get the green card yet?

I packed for nothing...

You're reaIIy Ieaving?

Yeah, AMDA wants me there ASAP

But go as the King of Joseon

We're taIking about American MusicaI and Dramatic Academy

It's for best of the best

But you are... the King of Joseon!

- Are you drunk? - I Iove you, bro

- They heard my stuff? - I toId you it'II work out!

But what do I teII AMDA? They caIIed earIier too

This is a major predicament

Let's do it this way

Since there's no one in Korea to meet the Broadway standards,

I'II deIay my dreams for a bit

and consider this as an act of patriotism

A patriot!

Yu II-han! The patriot!

The one and onIy!

We hit West End and Broadway within one year

We? Yes!

The three of us!

- How much is the suit? - I dunno

It's ItaIianthough

Nice, eh?

Bro,

this is my priceIess Swiss watch

What's with the saran wrap?

For scratches

This is Iike my Iife

I'II Iet you borrow it

No, never the watch

You can't even pay the rent, how did you...

- Answer that for me - Sure

The interview's cruciaI, gotta get their attention earIy

They'II think Choi and Min are the headIiners

The headIiners are Min and I

Sure, whatever you say

Don't worry, I got what it takes,

the tongue, the taIent and now the suit

I was born to wear this suit

- Bro, did you order a piano? - Yeah, it's here?

Put it on the stage

Music wiII now decide my fate

What, we got a piano shortage?

- How much? - Who knows

He reaIIy spends Iike a big shot

I charged it, that's better for you, right?

Sure, it's fine, thanks

I puIIed out 100 potentiaI questions, we'II get a hit from this Iist

- First, when you were in USA... - Did you order a car?

It's here? Go get the keys

I gotta be safe from now on, it's a Mercedes

I put in some Iease deposit too

Okay, thank you

Broadway, here we come!

- Director Yu II-han, right? - Yes

This way

This way...

- The green room is... - Ms. Nah Sung-hee?

- Can I caII you that? - Huh?

- I'm the assistant direc... - PIeased to meet you

I need access to the kids' tapes

What?

Since I'm the Iast one in, shouIdn't I catch up?

Thank you in advance for your heIp

Jun-sang, it's been too Iong!

Remember me? Arts Academy, Yu II-han

Director Choi, so good to see you

'King of Joseon' must be a big deaI to bring you out

Best Speech in 90 seconds

- Director Min - Oh, heIIo

Is Yu friend of yours?

I'm not sure

I went abroad in my second year

So you studied together in NYC?

- I heard he went to Manhattan - Yeah?

Whose asshoIe did he Iick to get here?

Did you see his work?

It was caIIed... 'Hero' I think

He did that? It feIt Iike a patchwork

Copying others' work and caIIing themseIves artists,

frauds are apIenty nowadays

Let's go

Just being here with feIIow music directors is an honor

I am happy to be here

I have a question for director Min

You've won accoIades for your debut,

and it is the onIy IocaI musicaI to hit 1 miIIion...

Yes!

Let me answer that

WorId famous composer and my mentor Prof. Trayan said...

- This question is for... - Yes, but I can answer

MusicaI is not about random notes on the score

He said, it's a battIefieId that is fought with bIood and sweat

My point is, this competition is not about camaraderie

To me, this audition is Iike a battIefieId

Next question pIease

Director Min, how do you respond?

Taping begins at 2, we gotta hurry!

- Let's go - Where?

To the station, I'm your manager from today

Manager?

You need a manager to be a musicaI star

Sounds good? Let's go

Okay!

Got any money? We shouIdn't go empty-handed

What about soccer? Don't you wanna be a star?

Not in Korea, not for a bIack kid

PeopIe Iike us must dream responsibIy

- PeopIe Iike us? - Forget it

Just do what I teII you

Wanna take the bus or subway?

WeIcome to MusicaI Dream, a competitive audition

that'II determine 'King of Joseon's musicaI director and chiId actor

Let's begin the show!

We'II soon meet 5 young contestants,

who reached this far to become King Jung-jo,

but the directors must onIy Iisten to the voices

and seIect their partners

Yu II-han, Thunderman!

Once they're matched up,

they'II prepare for the weekIy Iive performance together

Cam 5 zoom in

The winner wiII have the prestigious honor

to bring this musicaI to the worId stage,

incIuding West End in London, and Broadway in New York City

ShaII we meet our first contestant?

Zoom in more

Get a shot of the directors

Cam 4 and 5, get ready

The sun'II come out, tomorrow

Bet your bottom doIIar that tomorrow

There'II be sun!

Just thinking about tomorrow

CIears away the cobwebs, and the sorrow

TiI there's none!

When I'm stuck a day

That's gray, and IoneIy,

I just stick out my chin and grin,

And say!

Oh! The sun'II come out tomorrow

So ya gotta hang on 'tiI tomorrow

Come what may

Tomorrow! Tomorrow!

I Iove ya, tomorrow!

You're aIways a day a way!

Just thinking about tomorrow

CIears away the cobwebs, and the sorrow

TiI there's none!

When I'm stuck a day that's gray, and IoneIy,

I just stick out my chin and grin,

And say!

Oh! The sun'II come out tomorrow

So ya gotta hang on 'tiI tomorrow

Come what may

Tomorrow! Tomorrow!

I Iove ya tomorrow!

You're aIways a day a way!

Tomorrow! Tomorrow!

I Iove ya tomorrow!

You're aIways a day a way!

We wiII now unveiI the resuIts

ShaII we find out the Iucky partner of Kim Do-yun?

He was chosen by two directors!

Do-yun, who wiII you choose?

I choose director Choi

Director Choi Ho-jin is Do-yun's Iucky partner!

CongratuIations!

We have another contestant who was chosen by two directors

Let's reveaI the directors first before the actor

PIease reveaI them!

They're director Min and director Yu!

ShaII we bring out the actor for the finaI decision?

It's Kim GIory

Who wiII you choose?

Pick him, pick him!

I shouId've informed director Min beforehand...

PIease, pick him

GIory chose director Yu, congratuIations to you both!

Sung-hee

Producer Nah

I don't think I cIearIy understand the concept of this

What?

It's not right, who'II take him for a Korean?

I'm teIIing you this for your sake, this is a matter of reaIism

Without some kind of conspiracy...

What? Conspiracy?

- Who's he? - He's the producer

Then you are...

I'm the AD

If you Iook at the outcome, isn't it a bit suspicious?

You chose the actor yourseIf

OnIy because I couIdn't see him, then why did he choose me?

If youwerehim, wouId you choose me or Min?

- Min, of course - You see?!

That's the normaI response, so why did he choose me?

Are you impIying that we fixed the show in Min's favor?

Your words, not mine

- If you just Iook at... - Look here

You crossed the Iine

Crossed what? Watch who you're taIking to

And you are?

Are you for reaI?

I knew from the moment we met, MSM doesn't mean a damn

- You're stiII a human trash - Trash?

Come here,

- what did you just say? - CaIm down, everyone's watching

What a jackass

It's aIright

If skin coIor was an issue, he wouIdn't be here

Why'd anyone pick a MaIaysian to pIay a Korean king?

- Isn't he a FiIipino? - Same difference

I shouId've just Ieft for Broadway

Let's think positive, we gotta pIay the hand we're deaIt

Just pass the first round and you'II be pIastered on TV,

and more peopIe wiII come see 'Thunderman', right?

Dude, just Iook at the ratings

The pubIicity wiII be massive

Go away, don't you have a show?

Who cares about 'Thunderman' Broadway's on the Iine!

You can onIy get to Broadway by passing the first round,

one step at a time

Why go one step at a time, when there's an eIevator to the top?

- Forget it - Hey, II-han, II-han!

We stiII gotta do this, don't give up!

His own damn fauIt for picking that kid!

Buying your way to the top, huh?

- He's Kim Do-yun - HoIy shit!

No weakness to speak of, he's a prodigy

Not many aduIt actors reach his IeveI

He's your fiercest competition

And Min's Choi Hoon is a RoyaI BaIIet SchooI student

He's no Do-yun, but he's got the best training money can buy

What are you doing?

I apoIogize for the other day

AIIow me to assist you in any way possibIe

Why wouId human trash ever need assistance

Sir, I'm reaIIy sorry

He wasn't this bIack before

This ishis friend

GIory's over there

Is your mom or dad from MaIaysia?

Mom

And it's the PhiIippines

Who cares

And you?

I'm Gabonese

SIowIy, don't bend the wrist

- Ms. Hong - Yes?

- He Iacks any basics - That's why you're here

Do whatever it takes to make him even a bit competitive

Give me something to work with

CouId I see you afterwards?

Dammit, go away!

I shouId just forfeit

What is it?

My mom's faciaI cream, to whiten your face

- Isn't this for women? - Just wear it

Like this

Rub it

Use it twice a day for fuII effect

A good manager mustn't stop caring

- You don't need it? - Me?

It's too Iate for me

PIease take good care of GIory

Isn't his voice heavenIy?

That's why you chose him too

- UnknowingIy - Of course!

You chose his voice

He's got a hard Iife, raised by a singIe mother

And a mixed race at that

- If his taIent goes to... - One verse is enough

'Let's heIp him out of sympathy,'

I get what you're saying, so Iet's caII it a night

Wait! Just this one shot

I don't docheap stuff, I Iearnedto drink with whiskey

What is art?

They're aII so fuII of shit

Then why am I a fraud?

- Who said that? - That bastard

Son of a bastard...

But he's the reaI deaI, I know

And I'm going to Broadway

Go, yes, I need to go home

Let's go together

Where?

Broadway

Arm in front, Iook far away

- Ms. Hong - Yes?

This won't do, no impact whatsoever

- Let's add a spin - We onIy have a week

Just one spin

Learn the spin from her

Practice, untiI it works!

- Answer me - Okay

Stay up aII night if you have to

What's with you IateIy

One ginseng drink is aII it takes

This is why you need a manager

- And now forour soccer team - Me! Me! Me!

Sung-joon!

Huh? RonaIdinho?

He's not RonaIdinho,

RonaIdinho's BraziIian, he's an African

- Miss, we don't need him - Watch it!

Yo FiIipino, Iower your hand

Okay, Sung-joon

Who eIse?

What was that for?! What about the practice?

It's my practice

You need a manager, you need my protection

If you want the job, score 5 goaIs against cIass 3

- Then you can be my manager - Hey!

It's gotta be 5

You traitor

ShouIdn't you be at the station?

Scoring is haIved between acting and arrangement

Even the kidonIy gets 30 points, I can cover him with my 50

This is the onIy way

It's a mixer, gotta check it myseIf

But the station has one!

Keep your baIance

Under the eIbow, Iower the shouIder

I can do it

UntiI it works!

Broadway!

The first round consists of

5 interpretations of a singIe song

- It's starting, put on your masks! - This is so shameIess!

- This is major pubIicity! - Next time, next time!

Next time? There may not be a next time!

I poured so much money into this aIready!

Then you wear it too!

TiIt up, cam3!

Your friend, Thunderman!

Champion ofjustice!

Cut that weirdo out!

Can you beIieve it? That in my dreams,

you are a princess faIIen under a speII

Even though my gestures towards you

are aIways so hard for me

But I aIways promised,

that I'II save you no matter what

I put my two hands together and prayed,

- for endIess courage and wisdom - FaII! Just faII!

Past the magic castIe and over the swamps,

I see you far away inside the dark cave

HoId onto my hand now,

can you feeI our bodies rising?

Even if we fIy high up

Isn't rock arrangement cheating?

Why?

This is bad

The worId unraveIing before us

is speciaI if we're together

Past the magic castIe and over the swamps,

I see you far away inside the dark cave

HoId onto my hand now,

can you feeI our bodies rising?

Even if we fIy high up into the sky

don't be scared

The worId unraveIing before us

is speciaI

if we're together

With 2 contestants aIready moved up,

onIy one spot remains,

who wiII it be?

It's director Yu and GIory! CongratuIations!

- Ms. Hong - Yes?

Did you teach him to do 3 spins?

You won't beIieve how hardcore he is

He worked on it for a fuII week, because you said so

UntiI it works

AccompIishing that in a week is a miracIe

Landing was shaky

10 spins next time

UntiI it works

Let's find his dad! He's so cute!

It hurts me so much

A chiId, against a worId fuII of prejudice, and his sorrow

So I thought to myseIf,

Iet me at Ieast set him free on the stage

Seeding a smaII dream to other chiIdren in his situation,

that wouId make the worId a IittIe brighter

During the seIection process,

did GIory say why he picked you?

He said that I smiIed at him,

perhaps that smiIe was our fate

Yes, his skin coIor is different

But he was born and raised here and he's a Korean citizen,

so who says he can't pIay our king? Am I wrong?

No, of course not

You're right

What, wasn't that moving?

WeII, my goose bumps are moving

Fine, don't come crawIing back when I make it big

I'm not taking any of you to Broadway

I feIt your sincerity through the TV

That is aII

1 7% for the first round, 25% next,

at this rate, we'II get 30% ratings for the finaIs!

have no one but you directors to thank!

In any case, I thought I onIy had to Iook out for Min

GIory came out of nowhere

But arrangement was so-so

His 3-spin wasn'tdone by himseIf

BIood and sweat went into that

Spin and stuff aren't important

Then what is?

- Choi Hoon's performance feIt odd - What was?

Just odd

For your reference,

Kim Do-yun scored the highest,

then Kim GIory came in second

As for arrangement,

director Min was first,

and director Yu scored 4th

I was compeIIed to share this IittIe fact with you aII

PIaced 4th...

As for next round's stage design...

How about we prep separateIy?

Yeah, prepping at the station is cumbersome

Let's work separateIy and send the designs over

This is getting better and better!

Competition is aIready heating up

Sure, Iet's do it your way

AIright

- HoIy shit! - How many is that?

It's the NationaI BaIIet Company

- Isn't this Baek Man-chuI? - It's Baek Min-chuI

- Check this out - Shove it!

HoId stiII!

CanceI the ensembIe trio, it's hardIy enough

- They got Baek Man-chuI! - Baek Min-chuI!

We got good enough peopIe here

Just canceI it, the quaIity is different!

We fight with scaIe, and get quaIified dancers

Get as many back dancers as possibIe

- The stage has to be huge, okay? - Okay

Opposite roIe has to be an A-cIass

A top-tier actor for a siIent roIe?

That's disrespectfuI for the actor

How about Jung-iI? He's got the experience

Are you kidding me?! AbsoIuteIy not!

We aIready passed our aIIotted budget

- HeIp me out here - This is aII for us!

- Where were we? - The stage

Did you see Psy at the station?

No

I saw GirIs' Generation

Hey! Be quiet!

I'II test you in a bit!

Jung-iI, stay away from him!

- Sorry - It's okay

How did we Iand a kid Iike him?

Yeah, what a shitty Iuck

OnIy I can carry him aIong Iike this

That's not what I meant

- Why does it feeI awkward? - Doesn't it?

We're missing something

That's enough

Stop, stop!

From the top, but this time Jung-iI pIays the other roIe

Hurry up

- Me? - Say the Iine

Okay,

I...

I'm certain your...

Turn

No!

Again!

Don't come down, untiI it works!

- GIory, are you okay? - Yeah

This is inhumane, Iet him rest

- It's been 5 hours aIready! - Go away

Just a bit Ionger

UntiI it works!

It's reaIIy tiring, right?

Ah, I forgot something

I am the best!

Who toId you to raise the key?

Isn't it about time for Hoon to chaIIenge Do-yun?

I think he shouId do something speciaI

Is this a taIent show?

If that's the best you can do, Ieave now

What wiII it be?

This dark and empty pIace,

I'm okay now

Okay, stop

Again, repeat the Iine

It feeIs fuII when I dance

this dark and empty pIace, I'm okay now

That's when you Iook at the audience,

Iike it's fuII of something

Don't Iook at the ground or the waII, Iike just now

Likethe way Annie Iooks at the audience

Didn't you see it?

No

What about 'Peter Pan'?

'Cats'?

Which musicaIs have you seen?

Nothing

GIory, stop right there

Where is he?!

In... the haIIway

Rest a day, I'II Iet him know

No, I can do it tomorrow

- Not Iike this - I don't need to rest, Mr...

Mr. Director's boss?

- Just caII me big bro - Okay, big bro

So don't teII the director

- You Iove it this much? - Yes!

- Why? Look at this bruise - I just do

So pIease don't teII him

I Iove singing

Okay, 2 tickets for the 7PM show

GIory and I

No, make that 3

Can you beIieve it? He's never seen a musicaI

I was fIabbergasted

- Director - Yeah?

Make practice fun for him, don't scare him off

He said I scare him?

If he's capabIe of saying that, I wouIdn't say it

He's aII bruised up because of the wire

I'm saying this because it feeIs Iike we're on the same side,

don't you see who he's up against?

Those boys got private Iessons since toddIers

- I know that, but... - My heart is not made of stone

Do I not see a chiId trying so hard?

But what can I do? 'Through IoneIiness and sadness...'

- What's the next Iine? - 'I won't cry'

That's right

Let's take GIory to see ashow, JM Art HaII, 7 sharp!

Okay

It's impossibIe, they're too good!

You know that too

Games so far were easy, but not anymore

A promise is a promise

Don't you get it? I can't score so many!

You do it!

- Give up? - No

Just watch

I never promised anything

You traitor

BIock him!

TackIe, tackIe!

Score!

- Good job! - Good job!

You traitor

Sir

That keeper roIe, couIdn't I do it?

It's just one Iine

- I aIready got an actor - I'm an actor too

I reaIIy want to do it

With my own face, without Thunderman makeup

Nope

A fuII orchestra right here, can you feeI it?

We'II use this in the finaIs to squash whoever

'The Phantom of the Opera', 'Aida', 'JekyII & Hyde', 'Miss Saigon'...

it's aII here

Right?

This is my best work, it's a kiIIer

II-han

Do you know why 'Hero' bombed?

The audience wasn't up to our standard

That's what I thought too, no, I wanted to beIieve that

But it wasn't

It bombed because we imitated

That one big shot we pIanned, we got it aII wrong

What is it?

When we first met, you gave me this, remember?

I stiII think 'Sunshine' is your best work

Have you Iost your intuition?

This is ancient history

At Ieast it's originaI

I feeI ashamed when I see him,

he's giving everything

and he Ioves this so much

What about me?

- What about you? - Enough!

You just had to say you didn't Iike it!

No need for this

- Afternoon! - HeIIo

GIory

Yes?

It's for the finaIs, Iisten to it a 100 times

The finaIs?

Aren't we going?

Yes! Of course!

Hey, GIory!

GIory!

How are you?

I'm so much better at this

How come you don't come by anymore?

- Yeah - No good

Leg here, shouIder wide open

Practice, untiI it works!

Sorry, we're Iate

Where's the camera?

Huh?

Came to have fun? Or for work

Must I do yourjob? You caII yourseIf a producer?

It's a heartwarming shot

This isn't a date

- I'II get... - Forget it

Where is this bastard?

Dude!

Evening, here you go

Oh yeah, we need to use Prof. Trayan's piece,

wecan't get ahoId of him

- Are you stiII in touch? - Yeah

His royaIty is insane

Dude, we're JM

Sure, but he's such a picky oId man,

he doesn't Iike random inquiries

I'II give him a caII, which piece?

Arranging a meet with our NYC staff wiII do

- Okay! Let's get going - Thank you!

Have fun, Ms. Nah!

It's a bit stuffy

But it's too Iate for a practice

I sensed GIory wanted to go over it

Fetch us some juice in the fridge

- Which part did you Iike the most - Everything!

Right?

You have to see it and feeI it, that's the onIy way to Iearn

The cup's on top

I saw!

Did you Iisten to the song a 100 times?

Yes!

Let's try it, pretend we're at the finaIs

The way home

I waIk for miIes

Can't see before my eyes

Is there an end

to this journey?

? The way home

? I waIk for miIes

? Can't see before my eyes

? Is there an end

? to this journey?

? A singIe ray of sunshine,

? Iighting the darkness before me

? Surrounding me with warmth,

? you're aIways beside me

Dear Yu II-han

We regret to inform you that we have not received your tuition

Since it is a year overdue, your entrance wiII be nuIIified

? Even if you forget me,

? I'II sing for you,

? sunshine

What is musicaI to you?

It's just singing and dancing

Does it pay enough?

Success is not fame, money or power,

it's waking up in the morning, so excited about what you have to do

A Iine from 'Fame', right?

A IittIe wiId, and rough...

but it's a kiIIer

I trust my intuition in this Iine of business

I know, sir

Let's do 'Sunshine' together!

Okay

CouId I check out your watch?

It's got a storied Iife

So cooI

- You went to MSM? - Sorry?

I was right about you

Sorry about that

So pIeased to meet you

FeeIs Iike I've turned into a swan,

when I dance and twirI

Stop!

Sorry, couId the dancers step down?

You guys too

Turn off the side Iights

And the rest, except the one on him

- Jung-iI, come back up - What's with him?

You pIay the keeper, tomorrow too

Dude!

I mean, sir!

Remember the Iine?

I'm certain your dance is speciaI

What do you think about when you dance?

A dancer sIiced through the stage

I stiII remember the way hemoved

The warmth of my dad and mom's touch

It feeIs fuII when I dance,

this dark and empty space,

So good

I'm okay now

I wiII dance to where mom and dad are

and fIy away

Snap out of it!

Don't run away

Not Iike this, Iook at my eyes

In your heart,

fuII of passion, don't give that up

I beIieve in your dance

- Let me go - Look into my eyes

- I'm sick of it - Look at me!

No, I won't aIIow it

- Don't wanna dance - You know yourseIf

- I wiII fIee - More than anyone

No, I can finaIIy Iive

without baIIet

See? That's you

Your body moves, start over

Your two feet and two arms

Heart beats so fast

Start over again!

Run!

My arms and feet are aIive

My heart beats so fast

I Iive in my dance

I can't ignore my dance

Jump! Towards the sky

Jump! With aII my might

Jump! Higher than ever

Don't stop, don't hide!

The passion within me!

Shout and Iet it out

Dance!

Dance with passion!

Director Min and Choi Hoon are up next

Take it away!

I may be smaII, but not my dance

I may be young, but not my dream

Let me show you,

what I can do

Look, this is the reaI me

Look, this is the reaI me

I may be smaII, but not my dance

Under the spotIight on this stage

I stand proudIy, I won't hide anymore

I need dance, I wanna show

I need dance, I wanna show

With vigor and spirit

We want your dance!

I need dance, I wanna show

We need dance, We wanna show

Look at my dance, Iook at me

The second and finaI team to advance is...

Director Yu and Kim GIory! CongratuIations!

Who do you want to thank right now?

Mom

Director, Thunderman and Sung-joon,

You mentioned your dad in your audition

Have you met him since then?

No

But I'm sure he's watching you right now

- What's his name? - Kim PiI-sung

How about a word to him?

Dad, I'm going to work hard and win,

because you're watching

Mom and I are weII

Dad...

I...

GIory, congratuIations again!

GIory!

- Let's go - What?

To the station, I scored 10 after you Ieft

Satisfied?

- Give me your bag - Yo African!

I'II kick your ass

- We got championship game! - But I have to go

I'm his manager

Are you nuts? What about the game?

Come on, we can't win without you

Come on, African

Go

I'm sorry bud, I'm reaIIy sorry

But I'II come to your finaIs!

I promise

I feeI ashamed when I see him,

he Ioves this so much

What about you?

Here

This is my song?

That's what it says, 'Song of GIory'

Thank you, sir!

Listen to it a 100 times, untiI you get sick of it

I'm taking you home for that reason

Okay

Such a snob, it's just one ride

This is no ordinary car

Big bro works tireIessIy to pay off the Iease

Make sure to thank him tomorrow, got it?

Okay

By the way,

what about 'Sunshine' then?

It's changed

Why haven't you Ieft yet?

And why is GIory on TV?

Why the heII did he say my name?!

- You sent him, right? - Yeah, I did!

I toId him to teII the worId about you!

- Why shouId we hide? - Shut your mouth!

So what then, I tried my best

I tried my best to be a father

But I'm not cut out for it

Just Ieave, aIright?

Honey! Honey!

It's dad?

- No, it's not him, honey - It is, it is dad!

- It's not him! - You're Iying, you Iiar!

It's your fauIt! I hate you!

He came to see me!

Yes, it's my fauIt

I'm sorry

- Go after him - GIory!

GIory!

I grew up without a dad too

I hated other kids with dads, and envied them

I feIt it too

- It's different - It is not, you siIIy

At Ieast your dad is aIive

He'II come back for you soon

But you're a Korean even without a dad

Without him, I'm not a Korean

Of course not

You're a Korean no matter what

No need to go back to the PhiIippines,

because...

he won't Iet you

- Right? - Yeah, sure

That's right, we got the finaIs to get to

Just trust me! Look at me

You're a Korean and you can do this

Look, a fish!

GIory,

you resent your grandfather and mother,

you're sad but you can't cry,

because you might get exiIed Iike your father

How wouId you feeI?

I'd be scared to death

Want to cry and miss dad so much

ShaII we try?

Manager Jo

This theater packs 2,000 peopIe

Such theater is hard to come by even abroad

When you hear the appIause before the curtain caII,

it moves you to no end

Heard about our next main project 'Don Quixote'?

Yes

I'm hoping to hand you that project

RegardIess of that show, I see another work for us

No one's doubting your taIent anymore

I'II do my best

But there's a probIem that chiId

This is a government-backed project to export our cuIturaI content,

and the suits aren't happy

They might not know what to do with it

You know how awkward it'd be for him to head it

I heard he may be Ieaving,

more reasons not to, right?

- I'm sorry, but... - Wait!

I don't need an answer right away

Think it over and give Jo a caII

Oh, by the way

You shouId caII Prof. Trayan once in a whiIe

He's your mentor after aII

What?

We met him a few days ago for a favor,

he doesn't remember you very weII

- I used my EngIish name... - If!

If there's a probIem, Iet us know, so JM can act on it

Raise your eIbow

A IittIe higher

Bro

Yeah?

Get it off your chest aIready

What if I was given a chance of a Iifetime,

directing 'King' and 'Don Quixote',

and we can finaIIy go to Broadway and do whatever we want

JM wants you to do 'Don Quixote'?!

But there's a condition

Of course there is

Nothing just Iands on your Iap

What is it?

SIave contract?

I'd seII my wife for that chance

You don't mean...

Manager Jo

There was an error on our part

If you were in the process of returning, he wasn't supposed to be eIigibIe

- So GIory has to drop out? - Yes

What if I forfeit our return?

This shouId be enough to cover your resettIement

- If you need more... - What about director Yu?

Sir, we gotta do wardrobe check

He's not coming anymore

Director

It's not true, right?

That I can't go to the finaIs?

This is my song, right?

That's what you said, you wrote it for me

That's why it's caIIed 'Song of GIory'

It's not?

I can do weII, I'II do my best

You said I can do this

You said to trust you

If I work hard...

You're despicabIe

What about my dream?!

ShouId we aII sink and die?

ShouId we?

It's not my fauIt

Let's Ieave right away, mom

I'II onIy Iisten to you

I'II be a good boy from now on

I'II be happy in the PhiIippines and never Iook at dad's photo

I hate it here

Okay, Iet's Ieave

Your private studio is aII setup

It's big enough to start over with a fuII rehearsaI

Same configuration as the station

This way

Ma'am

CouIdn't you think it over? It's not too Iate

There'II be a way

Let's take the fight to the station

Korea's IiberaI enough to accept muIticuIturaI famiIies...

Why do we need acceptance?

Sorry?

Are we so pitifuI?

You feeI bad for us?

PeopIe Iike you are the worst,

giving us faIse hope

Like GIory's father, and director Yu

Got into the soccer team?

I toId you, idiot, we need reaIistic goaIs

I'm sorry

Take care

Big bro, be weII

You too buddy

Bye Thunderman

I'm sorry, it's aII my fauIt!

I won't pIay soccer anymore!

PIease, don't go!

Don't go!

HeIIo

ShaII we begin?

You resent your grandfather and mother,

you're sad but you can't cry,

because you might get exiIed Iike your father

How wouId you feeI?

I stiII need to be on grandpa's good side,

because he's stiII the king

And I'm the heir

Right

Song of GIory

Why is the song stiII caIIed that?

Can't we caII it 'Song of Hoon'?

Let's begin

Shout my name anywhere

Your friend, Thunderman!

Thunderman!

Hey, hey, hey!

This is your best?

Why are you so down?

Kim Jung-iI!

I toId you to put on makeup for the rehearsaI too!

And put on your heImet!

You caII this prop?!

If this is your best, quit right now!

I don't need any of you! You're aII useIess!

Show me some respect!

- What?! - Dammit!

I have feeIings too!

Break them aII

We got the best musicaI director now

What, we'II be rich soon, right?

Broadway, here we come

Why shouId I be responsibIe for a contestant who Ieft?

You reaIIy don't get it? Why GIory can't come?

So what am I supposed to do?

Do whatever you want!

Start a boycott or resign or something

We're ready to roII

Cue

I am Yu II-han

Due to unexpected return to the PhiIippines, GIory won't be back for the finaIs

It hurts me more than anyone eIse

He was so taIented, and worked hard...

So taIented...

And I know he's cheering on from afar...

I'm sorry, couId we continue Iater?

What now?

You don't deserve to sob

What?

You shouId've supported him, you of aII peopIe

He beIieved in you and trusted you

And me too

Where you going?

To apoIogize to him

- Where is he? - Dunno!

Let's go together

- Where? - To apoIogize

He's not in Korea anymore

I know, Iet's go

You're a grown woman, stop crying

This is not Iike you

You know me, I'm a caIcuIating person

But this time I want to foIIow my heart

Won't be easy

I know

He's giving up Hoon

That idiot

Give Min a caII

Yes, sir

'Sunshine'

Where are you?

Got it

Hey, Kim Jung-iI!

Yes?

Get ready

Okay!

- Bro! - WeIcome back

Why're you aII here?

Jacket

Pants and shoes

Wait inside

WiII you be okay?

Thank you for this

I'm goingto the finaIs

What? Are you kidding me?

You gave up Hoon and Ieft! And now you want it back?!

I'm not taking Hoon, I got GIory

What?! Mr. Yu!

Jun-sang, I'm sorry, cIear the room for me

I don't care, I don't care!

You guys work it out, the show goes on no matter what

Go get ready! Standby!

How am I supposed to respond?

I'm reaIIy sorry about this

Is this a sick joke?

I'm not here for your permission

Yu II-han!

Sir

Didn't think you'd show up

How about a word?

- Got nothing to taIk about - It's just that...

there's a probIem with your profiIe

Sung-eun! There's a script change!

We're on in a few

Live broadcast is so exciting!

5 minutes Ieft, good Iuck!

There!

Cue the titIe, then to cams 2 and 3

Good evening, weIcome to MusicaI Dream

Wanna end your career right here?

Then take that brownie up there

But do know that you and the kid are done,

I'II personaIIy make sure of that

You can make it without MSM,

so why fake your credentiaIs?

The truth aIways comes out

No, I got it aII wrong

I misjudged you, you wanted success no matter what,

that thirst for ambition

You got me, I admit it

Take Hoon to the stage, I'II take care of the rest

Son of the outIaw, end your own Iife

Who sent you?

Don't beg for your Iife, son of the outIaw!

I am son of the king, son of this country

Who wishes me dead?

Sire!

Is it true?

This isn't true, right?

It is

How...

AIthough I am stiII young,

Iike the moon of the night,

I wiII expeI darkness

and bring Iight to the worId

Are you ready?

It's time

Who is Hoon's partner tonight?

Is director Min aware of this?

- According to... - Wait a moment

These are aII rumors, our position is stiII the same

We abided by the reguIations...

- Isn't that GIory? - And director Yu

Stay here

I wiII withdraw myseIf

I'm not quaIified to be here

I faked my credentiaIs from the beginning

I've never been to MSM,

Prof. Trayan was not my professor, he's just a composer I admire

I never meant this...

to happen

This is aII just an excuse, I'm a fraud

But GIory is not

There's no reason why he mustn't perform

I'm warning you!

He worked harder than anyone eIse,

and peopIe out there want him

So why? He's Iike any of us,

he'II pay taxes and fuIfiII his duties as a Korean

He has the right to be here

Are you reaIIy that dumb?

- I am, but not him - GIory?

I'II never aIIow it!

Then I'II teII the media how JM bribed me,

how you threatened me to drop GIory

Do whatever you want with me, but not GIory

On in 5! PIease standby

Director Min

Director Min

PIease take GIory with you to the stage

Teach him to become the best

PIease do this for him

Jun-sang! You picked him too

We both heard his voice

He shouId've picked you but that idiot picked me

He mustn't suffer because of me

OnIy you can do this

Make him the best, I beg of you

Jun-sang

PIease!

It's aII my fauIt

I'm so sorry, sir, what shouId I do?

What can I do, it's aII my fauIt

I'm begging you

PIease!

I'm taking him, is that a probIem?

Here they come!

- Director Min, what about Hoon? - A comment pIease!

I wiII stand proud on this Iand

and fuIfiII my father's wiII

My father's

wiII!

Next up is director Min and the subject of much attention,

the underdog Kim GIory

GIory, GIory!

It's okay, go on

Sir, cut to the commerciaIs

GIory

- Cue commerciaIs - CommerciaIs?

Sung-hee asked for it, start with the energy drink one

You okay?

Everyone's here to hear you sing

But my skin is dark,

and King Jung-jo was not

My dad Ieft me because he's ashamed of me

- I'm not a Korean... - No, GIory, don't think that way

What they're saying is not true, don't Iisten to that

This is your song, onIy you can sing this

Remember fIying on the stage?

Look at me and fIy, got it?

Let's do it together then

Start when I do

We'II do this together and you'II soar

Sir, commerciaI's over

Patch it in

I'II take the heat

I am stricken by sadness,

how can I Iet him go?

His words and his wiII,

how can I fuIfiII them aIone?

What is the point of it aII without him?

Father!

Don't you dare put a finger on my son!

- Father! - Don't you dare touch him!

The bond between a father and his son,

the tie that hoIds us together,

who dares to cut it aII?

Come, my son

Father!

Yes, my darIing

My, how you've grown

- Your fate is seaIed - My fate is seaIed

Do you remember what it is?

- It is the path chosen by the heavens - That's right

- Do not cry, my darIing - I won't cry anymore

- You must survive - It is my destiny

- Protect - My destiny

- My wiII - Is in your hands

- Joseon's fate - Joseon's fate

- is in your hands - is in my hands

I am you

You are me

I am stricken by sadness,

how can I Iet him go?

I stand here aIone,

Ietting go of the sorrow,

and protect my fate

My fate!

- Rose petaIs faII on my cheeks - And wake me up

- The wind raises me up - On my feet

- The moon shines brightIy - The storm hits,

and rain faIIs, but I wiII stand proudIy

I wiII protect Joseon

It is my fate from the heavens

I wiII fuIfiII

My destiny

I'II remember your words, your wiII

This great country, my Joseon

The words you passed down, are my mission

We are one, my son

- My fate - My fate

It is now time to reveaI the King of Joseon and its director

And the winner is...

Director Min and Kim GIory! CongratuIations!

Director

One year Iater

Wait!

- Jung-iI - Yes?

- You're a midget, right? - Yes

Say 'I'm a midget'

- Go on, say 'I'm a midget' - I'm a midget

Say it Iike you mean it

I am a midget

I stiII got it, I know a taIent when I see one!

I don't Iike her, she's too wiId

You couId have toId me

What?

About MSM

WouId you've signed me if it wasn't for that?

What do you take me for?

Do you regret it?

JM couId have buried it

It feeIs good!

Otherwise I'd have been a fraud aII my Iife

Once again!
