EPISODE 5

2
00:00:55,439 --> 00:00:57,441
Kim U-jin speaking.

3
00:01:02,179 --> 00:01:04,848
Who is this? Please, speak.

4
00:01:16,026 --> 00:01:18,161
If you have nothing to say, I'll hang up.

5
00:01:32,742 --> 00:01:36,146
Sim-deok?

6
00:01:44,754 --> 00:01:46,223
It's you, right?

7
00:02:04,241 --> 00:02:06,209
<i>U-jin didn't come home last night?</i>

8
00:02:06,209 --> 00:02:08,011
The study was empty all night,

9
00:02:08,011 --> 00:02:10,580
so I thought he was still at his office.

10
00:02:10,747 --> 00:02:13,450
I checked again a while ago,
and it was still empty.

11
00:02:13,650 --> 00:02:15,585
Couldn't he have come at dawn

12
00:02:15,585 --> 00:02:17,087
and left early in the morning?

13
00:02:17,087 --> 00:02:20,590
There were no traces of him being there.

14
00:02:28,331 --> 00:02:32,269
<i>After finishing work yesterday, I went by
his office to talk to him about something.</i>

15
00:02:32,269 --> 00:02:33,770
<i>But he wasn't there.</i>

16
00:02:33,770 --> 00:02:37,774
<i>So I thought he went home early.</i>

17
00:03:36,366 --> 00:03:38,702
I think it was at Dansungsa.

18
00:03:38,702 --> 00:03:41,371
I was deeply moved

19
00:03:41,371 --> 00:03:43,206
after watching your performance.

20
00:03:43,206 --> 00:03:45,008
Afterwards, I immediately told

21
00:03:45,008 --> 00:03:46,476
our company's president

22
00:03:46,476 --> 00:03:50,413
that we had to sign
a recording contract with you.

23
00:03:50,647 --> 00:03:51,715
Thank you.

24
00:03:51,715 --> 00:03:54,818
For the down payment, as per the contract,

25
00:03:54,884 --> 00:03:57,454
we're thinking about paying 600 won.

26
00:03:58,355 --> 00:04:00,223
That's enough to pay

27
00:04:00,924 --> 00:04:03,493
for Seong-deok's study abroad
to the States.

28
00:04:03,493 --> 00:04:04,894
Sorry?

29
00:04:04,928 --> 00:04:06,863
It's nothing.

30
00:04:07,297 --> 00:04:09,766
-I'll sign the contract.
-Thank you.

31
00:04:09,766 --> 00:04:12,135
The recording will take place

32
00:04:12,135 --> 00:04:13,837
at our company in Osaka.

33
00:04:13,937 --> 00:04:15,505
By the way,

34
00:04:16,006 --> 00:04:19,276
when do you think you can pay me?

35
00:04:19,276 --> 00:04:22,812
As soon as the recording is done,
we will pay you.

36
00:04:23,713 --> 00:04:24,714
Okay.

37
00:04:24,714 --> 00:04:28,718
Could you write your name on the contract?

38
00:04:34,524 --> 00:04:37,560
YUN SIM-DEOK

39
00:05:59,042 --> 00:06:03,413
Don't go anywhere. Stay by my side.

40
00:06:06,249 --> 00:06:08,752
I don't think I can live without you.

41
00:06:20,663 --> 00:06:22,932
I'm going to leave for Tokyo.

42
00:06:24,601 --> 00:06:26,236
Come with me.

43
00:07:12,715 --> 00:07:14,984
Can't you stay for a bit longer?

44
00:07:14,984 --> 00:07:16,820
I must go right now.

45
00:07:21,991 --> 00:07:25,228
We can soon be together
for a long time, so be patient.

46
00:07:26,896 --> 00:07:28,531
Okay.

47
00:07:30,233 --> 00:07:32,902
It would have been nice to leave
for Tokyo together.

48
00:07:32,936 --> 00:07:35,605
I have some matters to take care of here.

49
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:38,274
If it's your siblings' school expenses--

50
00:07:38,274 --> 00:07:39,909
No.

51
00:07:40,343 --> 00:07:42,445
I don't want your money.

52
00:07:43,913 --> 00:07:45,748
I only want your love.

53
00:07:49,419 --> 00:07:50,820
Wait for me in Tokyo.

54
00:07:50,820 --> 00:07:54,557
Once I arrive there, should I meet you
at that boarding house?

55
00:07:59,429 --> 00:08:02,665
Earn lots of money.
I am absolutely stone broke.

56
00:08:07,203 --> 00:08:08,972
Go on.

57
00:08:50,246 --> 00:08:51,781
Follow me.

58
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:05,828
Was she the reason

59
00:09:05,929 --> 00:09:09,198
why you had been going
to Gyeongseong all along?

60
00:09:09,198 --> 00:09:13,636
For a vulgar woman who sings
in front of unknown men?

61
00:09:14,070 --> 00:09:15,705
She is precious to me.

62
00:09:15,705 --> 00:09:17,674
U-jin, how dare you?

63
00:09:19,876 --> 00:09:23,112
Sure. It's not uncommon

64
00:09:23,279 --> 00:09:27,216
for a man to briefly lay his eyes
on another woman.

65
00:09:27,617 --> 00:09:29,385
Right, that could happen.

66
00:09:29,385 --> 00:09:31,054
It wasn't for a brief moment.

67
00:09:33,289 --> 00:09:34,891
For a long time,

68
00:09:35,291 --> 00:09:37,393
I tried to forget her but to no avail.

69
00:09:37,393 --> 00:09:38,962
So?

70
00:09:39,028 --> 00:09:40,396
What will you do?

71
00:09:40,430 --> 00:09:42,498
I will leave with her.

72
00:09:42,632 --> 00:09:44,200
And I'll never return.

73
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,202
What is that woman to you

74
00:09:46,202 --> 00:09:47,770
that you'd forego filial piety?

75
00:09:47,770 --> 00:09:50,506
I'm willing to give up filial piety
or anything else

76
00:09:51,174 --> 00:09:53,142
if I can just be with her.

77
00:09:56,546 --> 00:09:58,014
That fox

78
00:09:58,014 --> 00:10:01,250
has completely and utterly bewitched you.

79
00:10:06,089 --> 00:10:08,358
Listen to me carefully.

80
00:10:08,491 --> 00:10:11,694
Without my money, you will lose

81
00:10:11,694 --> 00:10:15,064
both that woman and your love for writing.

82
00:10:15,298 --> 00:10:17,300
You have lived in abundance all your life.

83
00:10:17,300 --> 00:10:19,369
How long will you be able
to withstand poverty?

84
00:10:19,369 --> 00:10:23,106
How long will that woman stay
beside you when you have no money?

85
00:10:29,445 --> 00:10:31,881
If she abandons me for that reason,

86
00:10:32,615 --> 00:10:34,450
that, too, is my fate.

87
00:10:34,450 --> 00:10:36,919
You damned imbecile!

88
00:10:43,660 --> 00:10:45,361
Leave.

89
00:10:45,662 --> 00:10:48,364
I don't even want to look at you,
so get out!

90
00:11:28,738 --> 00:11:31,140
All that I can say to you

91
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,443
is that I am terribly sorry.

92
00:11:34,310 --> 00:11:35,978
Please.

93
00:11:36,012 --> 00:11:38,247
Do not forgive me.

94
00:11:40,883 --> 00:11:42,985
Jeom-hyo, are you there?

95
00:11:42,985 --> 00:11:44,220
Yes, Father.

96
00:11:44,220 --> 00:11:46,422
Burn these outrageous letters as well.

97
00:11:46,422 --> 00:11:48,291
This instant!

98
00:12:12,348 --> 00:12:14,550
It's not a surprise.

99
00:12:15,551 --> 00:12:19,622
I don't know what to say to you.

100
00:12:20,056 --> 00:12:22,225
Don't be sorry.

101
00:12:22,892 --> 00:12:24,193
I understand.

102
00:12:24,193 --> 00:12:26,796
The heart is stubborn.

103
00:12:27,029 --> 00:12:29,499
You can't change it
just with determination.

104
00:12:30,633 --> 00:12:33,136
I'm just worried about you.

105
00:12:33,136 --> 00:12:34,637
Our engagement announcement

106
00:12:34,637 --> 00:12:37,206
has been already printed
on the newspapers.

107
00:12:38,141 --> 00:12:39,909
It may not affect me too much.

108
00:12:39,909 --> 00:12:43,146
But you're well-renowned compared to me.

109
00:12:44,380 --> 00:12:45,982
And you're also a woman.

110
00:12:46,415 --> 00:12:49,485
It's my burden to take,
so it cannot be helped.

111
00:12:51,053 --> 00:12:55,024
Thank you for your concern.

112
00:12:55,491 --> 00:12:59,028
If you're truly thankful,
can you do me a favor?

113
00:13:00,663 --> 00:13:03,132
If you ever think of me from time to time,

114
00:13:03,132 --> 00:13:06,135
please wish that I'll meet
someone better than you

115
00:13:06,135 --> 00:13:08,037
and live happily ever after.

116
00:13:08,471 --> 00:13:10,072
Please do that for me.

117
00:13:11,808 --> 00:13:14,911
Okay. I will do that.

118
00:13:20,283 --> 00:13:21,851
You're finally smiling.

119
00:13:26,022 --> 00:13:28,958
Where could you possibly find
another man like him ever again?

120
00:13:28,958 --> 00:13:31,227
I don't love him.

121
00:13:32,161 --> 00:13:34,063
I couldn't.

122
00:13:36,332 --> 00:13:38,968
I've signed a contract
with a Japanese recording company.

123
00:13:38,968 --> 00:13:41,003
I will receive my payment
once the recording ends.

124
00:13:41,003 --> 00:13:43,372
With that money,
Seong-deok can study abroad.

125
00:13:43,372 --> 00:13:47,109
And Gi-seong? What about him?

126
00:13:47,109 --> 00:13:49,111
Well...

127
00:13:51,013 --> 00:13:54,550
Gi-seong, I'll get the money for you
no matter what,

128
00:13:54,550 --> 00:13:56,886
so continue preparing
for the study abroad.

129
00:13:58,621 --> 00:14:00,423
Okay.

130
00:14:22,645 --> 00:14:26,015
Our country may be ruined,
but youth is still youth.

131
00:14:26,983 --> 00:14:28,484
You're right.

132
00:14:30,486 --> 00:14:32,054
So you signed with Yun Sim-deok?

133
00:14:32,054 --> 00:14:35,691
Yes. The president was delighted.

134
00:14:35,758 --> 00:14:38,861
But not long ago, she visited me.

135
00:14:38,861 --> 00:14:41,831
She asked if I could raise
the down payment.

136
00:14:42,665 --> 00:14:45,768
Is she financially struggling?

137
00:14:45,768 --> 00:14:47,069
From what I hear,

138
00:14:47,069 --> 00:14:49,205
her family barely gets by.

139
00:14:49,205 --> 00:14:51,841
Also, she has two younger siblings
who study music

140
00:14:51,841 --> 00:14:54,443
and she must pay
for their studying expenses

141
00:14:54,510 --> 00:14:56,345
with no extra income.

142
00:14:56,612 --> 00:14:58,180
That's how it seems.

143
00:14:58,814 --> 00:15:01,484
How much more does she want?

144
00:15:01,484 --> 00:15:06,289
About 600 won for
her younger brother's studies overseas.

145
00:15:06,756 --> 00:15:08,958
Why do you ask though?

146
00:15:08,958 --> 00:15:10,960
Set up a meeting with Ms. Yun.

147
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,362
Tell her that I'm offering the money.

148
00:15:13,362 --> 00:15:14,864
Really?

149
00:15:14,897 --> 00:15:18,601
I've often supported poor
but talented artists.

150
00:15:18,601 --> 00:15:21,437
Hearing how her brother
is also studying music

151
00:15:21,437 --> 00:15:23,105
makes me want to be of help.

152
00:15:23,105 --> 00:15:25,074
Someone as talented as Ms. Yun

153
00:15:25,074 --> 00:15:28,010
should not spend time
worrying about money.

154
00:15:28,577 --> 00:15:31,714
She will be very happy to hear the news.

155
00:15:45,061 --> 00:15:46,662
I'm truly grateful.

156
00:15:46,662 --> 00:15:50,833
My younger brother wanted
to express his gratitude as well.

157
00:15:51,634 --> 00:15:53,269
That's not necessary,

158
00:15:53,669 --> 00:15:56,906
but please tell him this.

159
00:15:57,406 --> 00:15:59,108
I wish for him to become a great artist

160
00:15:59,108 --> 00:16:03,012
who shines the light of Joseon
all around the world.

161
00:16:04,213 --> 00:16:05,681
I will tell him that.

162
00:16:05,681 --> 00:16:09,852
The same goes for you as well.

163
00:16:11,988 --> 00:16:14,457
How may I ever repay you?

164
00:16:16,192 --> 00:16:20,096
Come by from time to time
and let me hear you sing.

165
00:16:20,162 --> 00:16:22,198
That's more than enough.

166
00:16:23,299 --> 00:16:24,867
Sure.

167
00:16:25,801 --> 00:16:27,303
Please help yourself.

168
00:16:27,303 --> 00:16:29,105
You have to head to
the broadcasting station.

169
00:16:29,105 --> 00:16:31,440
All right, then.

170
00:16:40,116 --> 00:16:43,786
WOOILGAK

SANGSEONG UNLIMITED PARTNERSHIP

172
00:17:02,738 --> 00:17:05,007
<i>By ourselves, sir?</i>

173
00:17:05,274 --> 00:17:07,343
I've taken care of most of the work,

174
00:17:07,343 --> 00:17:09,078
and it won't be for too long.

175
00:17:09,078 --> 00:17:11,981
Even though you have signed
most of the documents,

176
00:17:11,981 --> 00:17:14,984
it will be impossible for us
to run the company without you.

177
00:17:14,984 --> 00:17:16,919
It'll only be for a while.

178
00:17:17,019 --> 00:17:20,089
My father will give out orders soon.

179
00:17:20,990 --> 00:17:24,627
Please look after the company until then.

180
00:17:25,995 --> 00:17:27,530
Yes, sir.

181
00:18:49,345 --> 00:18:51,714
Yun Sim-deok? Did she really?

182
00:18:51,714 --> 00:18:52,815
That's what I heard.

183
00:18:52,815 --> 00:18:54,450
In the middle of the night,

184
00:18:54,450 --> 00:18:56,619
she exited
Lee Yong-mun's front gate discreetly

185
00:18:56,619 --> 00:18:58,254
and glanced around.

186
00:18:58,254 --> 00:18:59,855
There are more than enough witnesses

187
00:18:59,855 --> 00:19:01,891
who saw her secretly leave the house.

188
00:19:01,891 --> 00:19:03,926
My sister said that

189
00:19:03,959 --> 00:19:06,228
Yun Sim-deok was seeing
a man from a wealthy family

190
00:19:06,228 --> 00:19:07,630
as well as Lee Yong-mun.

191
00:19:07,630 --> 00:19:09,231
The man caught her in the act,

192
00:19:09,231 --> 00:19:11,934
called her a whore, and even slapped her.

193
00:19:11,934 --> 00:19:13,435
He told her to go to Lee Yong-mun.

194
00:19:13,435 --> 00:19:16,138
I heard that Lee Yong-mun
gave her 600 won.

195
00:19:16,138 --> 00:19:18,607
That money must be payment
for Yun Sim-deok

196
00:19:18,607 --> 00:19:20,109
selling her body to him.

197
00:19:20,109 --> 00:19:22,745
-You're right.
-Say that again.

198
00:19:24,446 --> 00:19:26,982
Say it again, you bastards!

199
00:19:29,485 --> 00:19:31,387
Grab him.

200
00:19:36,592 --> 00:19:38,827
Gi-seong, don't. Gi-seong!

201
00:19:38,827 --> 00:19:40,496
-Let go of me!
-Gi-seong.

202
00:19:41,330 --> 00:19:43,365
Gi-seong, what happened to your face?

203
00:19:43,365 --> 00:19:44,833
The 600 won for my studies.

204
00:19:44,833 --> 00:19:47,336
Why did Mr. Lee
give you such a large payment?

205
00:19:48,137 --> 00:19:49,705
I told you.

206
00:19:49,705 --> 00:19:52,107
He wishes for you to be a great artist--

207
00:19:52,107 --> 00:19:54,443
I want the truth and not some lie!

208
00:19:55,010 --> 00:19:56,979
-Gi-seong...
-At his house,

209
00:19:56,979 --> 00:19:59,615
were you alone with him?

210
00:19:59,648 --> 00:20:02,218
Yes. It was just us two.

211
00:20:02,218 --> 00:20:05,354
Just you two? What did you do then?

212
00:20:05,888 --> 00:20:07,690
I have no idea

213
00:20:07,690 --> 00:20:10,092
what you're trying to say.

214
00:20:12,127 --> 00:20:15,731
Sim-deok,
we've been trying not to tell you,

215
00:20:16,198 --> 00:20:19,335
but rumors spread all across Gyeongseong.

216
00:20:19,668 --> 00:20:21,203
What rumors?

217
00:20:22,705 --> 00:20:26,909
That you and Mr. Lee
are in a relationship.

218
00:20:26,909 --> 00:20:31,947
And that your fiancé called off
the wedding once he found out.

219
00:20:32,147 --> 00:20:37,386
They're also saying that
Mr. Lee paid for Gi-seong's tuition

220
00:20:37,386 --> 00:20:39,588
in return for your secret relationship.

221
00:20:40,489 --> 00:20:44,326
-What?
-Sim-deok, tell me it's not true.

222
00:20:44,793 --> 00:20:46,695
Seong-deok, I...

223
00:20:55,804 --> 00:20:59,141
It's not true, is it?

224
00:20:59,608 --> 00:21:01,310
Seong-deok.

225
00:21:03,345 --> 00:21:04,980
Gi-seong.

226
00:21:06,415 --> 00:21:08,450
How could you...

227
00:21:09,385 --> 00:21:11,587
How could you even think that?

228
00:21:11,587 --> 00:21:15,057
Sim-deok, please.
I wanted to confirm that it was a lie.

229
00:22:06,742 --> 00:22:09,812
<i>I'm afraid we can't have you perform
for the time being.</i>

230
00:22:09,812 --> 00:22:12,014
<i>The rumors are too ghastly.</i>

231
00:22:17,986 --> 00:22:20,356
Does she love money that much?

232
00:22:21,423 --> 00:22:23,125
Isn't she Yun Sim-deok?

233
00:22:23,425 --> 00:22:26,395
-Was money that important?
-Tell me about it.

234
00:22:26,795 --> 00:22:29,164
-Unbelievable.
-Absolutely horrid.

235
00:22:29,431 --> 00:22:31,266
She's an embarrassment.

236
00:22:31,266 --> 00:22:33,635
Can you believe it?

237
00:23:17,012 --> 00:23:19,915
Is this the house of Ms. Yun Sim-deok?

238
00:23:25,220 --> 00:23:27,756
Yes, I'm Yun Sim-deok.

239
00:23:30,058 --> 00:23:31,894
The Education and Management
Bureau Director

240
00:23:31,894 --> 00:23:34,062
of the Japanese Government General
of Korea

241
00:23:34,062 --> 00:23:36,064
has ordered your presence.

242
00:23:36,832 --> 00:23:39,001
What business does he have with me?

243
00:23:39,001 --> 00:23:41,270
Does he need a reason?

244
00:23:43,305 --> 00:23:45,707
I can't comply without knowing why.

245
00:23:45,707 --> 00:23:48,343
You insolent bitch.

246
00:23:49,445 --> 00:23:51,413
-Take her.
-Yes, sir.

247
00:23:52,014 --> 00:23:54,783
-Sim-deok. What's going on?
-Sim-deok.

248
00:23:54,783 --> 00:23:56,618
Sim-deok!

249
00:23:56,885 --> 00:23:58,954
-Sim-deok!
-Sim-deok!

250
00:23:59,421 --> 00:24:02,858
THE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT GENERAL OF KOREA

251
00:24:14,536 --> 00:24:16,138
Come in.

252
00:24:32,721 --> 00:24:37,192
Are you Yun Sim-deok?

253
00:24:37,693 --> 00:24:39,294
That's right.

254
00:24:44,366 --> 00:24:47,336
I heard you studied in Japan.

255
00:24:47,336 --> 00:24:51,073
Have you forgotten
how to speak its language?

256
00:24:53,008 --> 00:24:57,446
I heard that you are also from Joseon.

257
00:25:06,955 --> 00:25:09,124
The rumors are right about you being bold.

258
00:25:11,527 --> 00:25:13,161
I find that...

259
00:25:14,029 --> 00:25:15,731
more charming.

260
00:25:20,802 --> 00:25:23,238
You're a whore
who sells herself for money,

261
00:25:23,305 --> 00:25:25,374
so don't act like you're so honorable.

262
00:25:28,443 --> 00:25:30,279
I hear that things are tough.

263
00:25:30,846 --> 00:25:34,383
You're a singer
who can't perform anywhere.

264
00:25:36,618 --> 00:25:38,420
That's why I called you.

265
00:25:38,654 --> 00:25:41,456
I'm giving you a chance to sing

266
00:25:43,959 --> 00:25:45,727
on a magnificent stage.

267
00:25:54,903 --> 00:25:56,972
-This...
-That's right.

268
00:25:56,972 --> 00:26:00,008
I'm offering you a position at
the Japanese Government General of Korea

269
00:26:00,008 --> 00:26:01,843
as a guest performer.

270
00:26:02,578 --> 00:26:05,647
Your contract will begin with you

271
00:26:05,647 --> 00:26:09,084
singing at the banquet
hosted by the office.

272
00:26:09,184 --> 00:26:11,320
Then you will attend other shows

273
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,089
the office holds
to celebrate Japan's prosperity.

274
00:26:14,089 --> 00:26:17,159
With your singing,
enlighten the foolish Joseon people.

275
00:26:17,159 --> 00:26:20,762
Show them the spirit of the empire.

276
00:26:25,634 --> 00:26:28,303
I have a contract with
a Japanese record company.

277
00:26:28,337 --> 00:26:30,272
I must go to Osaka to record,

278
00:26:30,305 --> 00:26:32,808
so I cannot accept this proposal.

279
00:26:33,342 --> 00:26:34,943
Excuse me, then.

280
00:26:35,043 --> 00:26:36,745
House number 1-73,

281
00:26:37,245 --> 00:26:40,182
Seodaemun District, Gyeongseong.

282
00:26:41,750 --> 00:26:46,188
I wonder how your parents are doing.

283
00:26:46,355 --> 00:26:50,525
Younger sister Yun Seong-deok
and younger brother Yun Gi-seong.

284
00:26:50,525 --> 00:26:52,427
Both are planning
to study abroad in America.

285
00:26:52,427 --> 00:26:56,365
That means they are still here
in Joseon at the moment.

286
00:27:04,006 --> 00:27:06,708
I guess I finally got through to you.

287
00:27:08,910 --> 00:27:12,347
We should meet up for a drink
when you get back.

288
00:27:15,984 --> 00:27:18,587
Somewhere private, of course.

289
00:27:25,060 --> 00:27:29,197
I wish you the best
on your recording in Japan,

290
00:27:29,231 --> 00:27:30,766
Yun Sim-deok.

291
00:28:10,472 --> 00:28:13,642
STAY TUNED FOR THE FINAL EPISODE

292
00:28:13,775 --> 00:28:16,778
FINAL EPISODE

293
00:28:23,051 --> 00:28:24,619
Sim-deok,

294
00:28:25,887 --> 00:28:28,957
it must be tough
not to be able to perform.

295
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:36,465
The guest performer at
the Japanese Government General of Korea.

296
00:28:36,531 --> 00:28:38,500
Why not accept the offer?

297
00:28:39,034 --> 00:28:43,305
You'll even be paid for your services.

298
00:28:45,474 --> 00:28:50,479
If you agree to take the job,
how much will they pay you?

299
00:28:50,479 --> 00:28:53,615
The Japanese Government General of Korea
will probably pay more than others.

300
00:28:53,615 --> 00:28:55,517
Mother, this is wrong.

301
00:28:56,084 --> 00:28:58,253
A Korean should not sing for that office.

302
00:28:58,253 --> 00:28:59,621
Why?

303
00:28:59,621 --> 00:29:02,424
She can't earn money elsewhere
because of the rumors,

304
00:29:02,424 --> 00:29:03,792
so why not accept this job?

305
00:29:03,792 --> 00:29:05,327
Mother!

306
00:29:05,327 --> 00:29:06,928
Don't you dare raise your voice.

307
00:29:06,928 --> 00:29:09,197
Who pays for your tuition?

308
00:29:09,197 --> 00:29:12,901
Who pays for the food
that you're eating right now?

309
00:29:16,838 --> 00:29:18,540
Sim-deok.

310
00:29:18,540 --> 00:29:20,809
No matter how important singing is to you,

311
00:29:20,809 --> 00:29:22,644
don't ever stoop so low.

312
00:29:22,644 --> 00:29:25,547
I agree with Gi-seong.

313
00:29:25,547 --> 00:29:27,282
Don't accept the job.

314
00:29:27,916 --> 00:29:29,851
Fine, don't take it.

315
00:29:29,851 --> 00:29:32,554
Starting tomorrow,
we'll all starve instead!

316
00:29:33,522 --> 00:29:36,525
I should pack
since I'm leaving early tomorrow.

317
00:29:36,525 --> 00:29:38,527
You'll accept the job
before you go, right?

318
00:29:38,527 --> 00:29:40,729
-Mother!
-Gi-seong, that's enough.

319
00:29:40,729 --> 00:29:43,265
I can't just stand by
while she accepts the job.

320
00:29:43,265 --> 00:29:46,101
Then bring home money for the family then!

321
00:29:46,134 --> 00:29:48,003
Still, she can't do such a thing.

322
00:29:48,003 --> 00:29:50,539
There's no other choice!
We'll all starve if she doesn't.

323
00:29:50,539 --> 00:29:52,107
Mother!

324
00:29:55,043 --> 00:29:57,145
Go and get some <i>makgeolli</i>.

325
00:29:57,145 --> 00:29:59,781
There's no need to throw things!

326
00:30:10,926 --> 00:30:12,694
Sim-deok.

327
00:30:19,234 --> 00:30:21,336
Next Sunday at noon,

328
00:30:21,336 --> 00:30:24,806
do I meet you at Nitto Records in Osaka?

329
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,742
Don't be late since I can't record
without piano accompaniment.

330
00:30:27,742 --> 00:30:31,246
Why don't you leave for Osaka
with me next week?

331
00:30:31,246 --> 00:30:33,048
Why are you leaving so early?

332
00:30:33,849 --> 00:30:35,617
There's someone I need to meet.

333
00:30:35,617 --> 00:30:37,586
I see.

334
00:30:38,753 --> 00:30:41,857
A letter came for you a while back,

335
00:30:41,857 --> 00:30:43,625
so I left it in your room.

336
00:30:45,861 --> 00:30:51,166
FROM KIM U-JIN

337
00:31:19,561 --> 00:31:24,466
<i>I only heard of the rumors about you
after I arrived in Tokyo.</i>

338
00:31:25,567 --> 00:31:28,069
<i>Those disgusting rumors about you</i>

339
00:31:28,503 --> 00:31:30,338
<i>seem like nonsense to me.</i>

340
00:31:31,239 --> 00:31:35,277
<i>The only words I believe in are yours.</i>

341
00:31:37,279 --> 00:31:38,780
<i>Every time</i>

342
00:31:39,614 --> 00:31:43,385
<i>I think about how lonely
and tormented you'd be,</i>

343
00:31:43,652 --> 00:31:45,353
<i>I'm swept with regret.</i>

344
00:31:47,589 --> 00:31:50,125
<i>I should have brought you with me.</i>

345
00:31:50,759 --> 00:31:53,028
<i>I shouldn't have left you alone there.</i>

346
00:31:56,097 --> 00:31:59,200
<i>Hurry to me, Sim-deok.</i>

347
00:32:00,802 --> 00:32:02,704
<i>Be that vivacious woman you were</i>

348
00:32:02,704 --> 00:32:05,240
<i>when we first met.</i>

349
00:32:05,774 --> 00:32:08,276
<i>Be that lady who always smiled...</i>

350
00:32:09,444 --> 00:32:11,112
<i>and hurry to me.</i>

351
00:32:45,647 --> 00:32:50,318
IF I DIE, UNTIL THAT DAY...

352
00:32:51,619 --> 00:32:54,089
Mr. Kim?

353
00:32:54,289 --> 00:32:57,225
A lady is here to see you.

354
00:33:20,115 --> 00:33:23,485
Is this the life you came here to pursue?

355
00:33:24,419 --> 00:33:26,521
Come back to Joseon.

356
00:33:26,821 --> 00:33:30,091
I do not intend to.

357
00:33:31,526 --> 00:33:34,329
Your father has stopped eating

358
00:33:34,963 --> 00:33:37,599
and is waiting for your letter
that does not come.

359
00:33:39,134 --> 00:33:40,902
He's determined

360
00:33:41,236 --> 00:33:43,772
to pick up his spoon again

361
00:33:43,772 --> 00:33:46,307
only when you return to run the company.

362
00:33:47,375 --> 00:33:50,078
Even if you do not write,
there are others who can,

363
00:33:50,078 --> 00:33:52,947
but no one else can run the company.

364
00:33:53,648 --> 00:33:56,117
That is none of my business anymore.

365
00:33:57,218 --> 00:34:00,555
Will you return to Joseon
only after Father passes away?

366
00:34:02,390 --> 00:34:04,893
Does this seem like nonsense to you?

367
00:34:06,027 --> 00:34:09,064
You know your father as well as I do,

368
00:34:09,064 --> 00:34:12,233
so this is nothing you can brush off.

369
00:34:13,635 --> 00:34:16,004
I'll take it that you will come back

370
00:34:16,004 --> 00:34:17,972
and go back home.

371
00:34:22,911 --> 00:34:24,479
Don't get your hopes up.

372
00:34:26,081 --> 00:34:27,715
It will only be in vain.

373
00:34:36,424 --> 00:34:39,627
I married you without even meeting you.

374
00:34:39,627 --> 00:34:42,063
Throughout my life in this family,

375
00:34:43,364 --> 00:34:46,835
I have never desired your heart.

376
00:34:48,403 --> 00:34:51,372
Even though your heart was somewhere else,

377
00:34:51,372 --> 00:34:53,775
I believed that it was my duty

378
00:34:54,042 --> 00:34:56,377
to love and support you no matter what.

379
00:35:02,517 --> 00:35:07,188
For the first and last time,
I urge you to reconsider.

380
00:35:09,557 --> 00:35:11,226
U-jin,

381
00:35:13,027 --> 00:35:16,064
I will not ask you to be a husband for me.

382
00:35:16,064 --> 00:35:17,632
However, please...

383
00:35:18,900 --> 00:35:21,836
do not forget your duties as a son.

384
00:35:58,706 --> 00:36:01,709
What? <i>Wolf</i>?

385
00:36:02,143 --> 00:36:04,045
Not <i>The Dormitory at Night</i>?

386
00:36:04,045 --> 00:36:06,581
Did you really work on
<i>The Dormitory at Night</i>?

387
00:36:06,581 --> 00:36:09,584
-I'm really sorry.
-Are you serious?

388
00:36:10,818 --> 00:36:12,420
U-jin.

389
00:36:12,420 --> 00:36:13,888
U-jin!

390
00:36:15,790 --> 00:36:18,393
You've been confined at home
with your writing,

391
00:36:18,726 --> 00:36:20,428
so what brings you here?

392
00:36:21,896 --> 00:36:24,232
I just wanted to see the theater.

393
00:36:24,232 --> 00:36:27,135
How is the script writing coming along?

394
00:36:27,135 --> 00:36:29,804
-Somewhat okay.
-Well, I'm curious.

395
00:36:29,804 --> 00:36:31,406
How good would yours be?

396
00:36:31,406 --> 00:36:32,907
He wrote four scripts already.

397
00:36:32,907 --> 00:36:34,609
He's writing his fifth,

398
00:36:34,609 --> 00:36:37,812
but he never let me read any of them.

399
00:36:37,812 --> 00:36:39,647
Seriously? That's harsh.

400
00:36:39,647 --> 00:36:41,449
When will you show it to us then?

401
00:36:41,449 --> 00:36:43,384
Soon.

402
00:36:47,555 --> 00:36:48,990
-It's me, right?
-Yes.

403
00:36:48,990 --> 00:36:50,758
Rehearsals are about to start.

404
00:36:51,025 --> 00:36:52,727
Why not stay and watch?

405
00:36:52,961 --> 00:36:55,863
I shouldn't be here.
I should just get going.

406
00:36:55,863 --> 00:36:59,234
Come on. Stay and watch the rehearsal.
You've been curious about it.

407
00:37:00,168 --> 00:37:01,869
Gosh, you're so stubborn.

408
00:37:01,869 --> 00:37:05,006
Then I'll stop by your place later.
Let's have dinner together.

409
00:37:05,006 --> 00:37:06,307
Okay.

410
00:37:06,307 --> 00:37:07,842
Excuse me for a second.

411
00:37:07,842 --> 00:37:09,277
See you next time.

412
00:37:10,545 --> 00:37:12,814
All right, everyone is here, right?

413
00:37:13,314 --> 00:37:15,116
Hey, where's Hiroshi?

414
00:37:15,116 --> 00:37:18,453
He had something to do, so he'll be late.

415
00:37:18,453 --> 00:37:19,454
Right.

416
00:37:19,454 --> 00:37:22,957
Then let's practice together
until he comes.

417
00:37:22,957 --> 00:37:23,891
Okay.

418
00:37:23,891 --> 00:37:26,461
All right. As you all know,

419
00:37:26,461 --> 00:37:28,596
today is the first rehearsal of <i>Wolf</i>.

420
00:37:29,631 --> 00:37:31,466
You're the wolf, right?

421
00:37:31,566 --> 00:37:32,667
Yes.

422
00:37:32,667 --> 00:37:36,304
For our theater, this stage is...

423
00:37:40,575 --> 00:37:42,877
<i>What's your dream?</i>

424
00:37:42,877 --> 00:37:46,047
<i>I'm not sure. I've never thought
about such a thing.</i>

425
00:37:46,047 --> 00:37:48,149
Dreams don't always have to be grand.

426
00:37:48,149 --> 00:37:50,318
<i>What gives you joy?</i>

427
00:37:50,318 --> 00:37:52,387
<i>Try to think about
what makes you happiest.</i>

428
00:37:52,387 --> 00:37:54,155
<i>You are the eldest son of this family</i>

429
00:37:54,155 --> 00:37:56,291
<i>and the successor to our business.</i>

430
00:37:56,324 --> 00:37:59,360
<i>Quit fooling around writing literature
and being a patriot.</i>

431
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,196
<i>Just think about
taking over the family business one day.</i>

432
00:38:02,196 --> 00:38:03,998
Are you going to write all night again?

433
00:38:03,998 --> 00:38:04,999
<i>Why must you care</i>

434
00:38:04,999 --> 00:38:07,235
<i>about the theatrical reform movement
in Joseon?</i>

435
00:38:07,235 --> 00:38:08,670
<i>Will you return to Joseon</i>

436
00:38:08,670 --> 00:38:10,371
<i>only after Father passes away?</i>

437
00:38:10,371 --> 00:38:13,408
U-jin, pick up your pen again.

438
00:38:13,408 --> 00:38:15,610
I'm fond of your writing, you see.

439
00:38:15,643 --> 00:38:17,312
<i>However, please...</i>

440
00:38:17,512 --> 00:38:20,348
<i>do not forget your duties as a son.</i>

441
00:39:18,106 --> 00:39:19,674
Sim-deok.

442
00:39:21,008 --> 00:39:23,211
I ought to return to Joseon.

443
00:39:23,845 --> 00:39:26,547
I cannot forsake my father.

444
00:39:29,784 --> 00:39:32,587
However, I can't go back to Joseon.

445
00:39:34,155 --> 00:39:36,224
In Joseon, I can neither write

446
00:39:37,625 --> 00:39:39,594
nor see you.

447
00:39:41,763 --> 00:39:44,966
Then we're in the same boat.
We're both faced with a dilemma.

448
00:39:47,869 --> 00:39:51,305
The Japanese Government General of Korea
wants to hire me as their singer.

449
00:39:55,376 --> 00:39:59,247
If I return upon recording my album here
and become their singer,

450
00:40:00,314 --> 00:40:03,217
my soul will die.

451
00:40:04,519 --> 00:40:07,288
But if I choose not to return,

452
00:40:07,789 --> 00:40:10,158
my family will die.

453
00:40:15,897 --> 00:40:18,433
Do you remember the day we first met?

454
00:40:22,970 --> 00:40:25,773
I was reading a book by Takeo Arishima,

455
00:40:25,773 --> 00:40:27,909
and you struck a conversation with me.

456
00:40:29,010 --> 00:40:31,579
Could it be because of how we first met?

457
00:40:32,513 --> 00:40:34,849
Whenever you crossed my mind,

458
00:40:34,849 --> 00:40:38,085
I was reminded of Takeo Arishima as well.

459
00:40:39,854 --> 00:40:41,622
His books...

460
00:40:42,723 --> 00:40:44,592
and his death.

461
00:40:47,495 --> 00:40:49,597
Now, I think I can understand

462
00:40:50,531 --> 00:40:54,101
why he made a choice like that.

463
00:40:57,238 --> 00:40:59,006
You see,

464
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,109
he must have wanted to rest at a place

465
00:41:03,344 --> 00:41:05,513
where he no longer has to try so hard

466
00:41:05,513 --> 00:41:07,648
and where there is no more parting.

467
00:41:08,182 --> 00:41:10,151
He must have wanted to be at peace.

468
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:14,856
I...

469
00:41:16,290 --> 00:41:18,726
want to get some rest now.

470
00:41:20,695 --> 00:41:22,530
I'm really...

471
00:41:25,099 --> 00:41:27,502
I'm really exhausted now.

472
00:41:31,639 --> 00:41:34,275
But I can't do that...

473
00:41:35,710 --> 00:41:38,813
for I fear I might end up
missing you too much.

474
00:41:41,716 --> 00:41:43,718
If that's the reason, you can rest.

475
00:41:51,592 --> 00:41:55,997
I used to think
that he ran away from life,

476
00:41:57,131 --> 00:41:59,367
but I no longer think so.

477
00:42:00,134 --> 00:42:02,570
He made that choice to live.

478
00:42:03,237 --> 00:42:06,107
In order not to lose himself,

479
00:42:07,141 --> 00:42:09,911
he chose death. That's all.

480
00:42:15,650 --> 00:42:19,520
For the first and last time in my life,

481
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,356
I want to live my life as who I am.

482
00:42:25,293 --> 00:42:27,194
Even if that life

483
00:42:27,261 --> 00:42:29,564
means death.

484
00:42:39,707 --> 00:42:42,243
So, you can rest in peace too.

485
00:42:44,378 --> 00:42:45,947
By my side.

486
00:43:15,076 --> 00:43:19,313
U-jin. Sorry, the rehearsal ran very late.

487
00:43:22,650 --> 00:43:24,585
Where did he go?

488
00:43:35,663 --> 00:43:39,867
"Come to Osaka in five days.
The address is as follows."

489
00:43:40,901 --> 00:43:43,471
Why did he go to Osaka out of the blue?

490
00:45:33,347 --> 00:45:38,519
JULY 31, 1926

491
00:45:50,598 --> 00:45:52,366
Are you done now?

492
00:45:53,100 --> 00:45:55,136
I was so bored.

493
00:45:58,405 --> 00:46:03,644
I actually came up with a poem in my head
while waiting for you to finish.

494
00:46:04,078 --> 00:46:05,679
Do you want to hear it?

495
00:46:06,147 --> 00:46:07,782
Sure.

496
00:46:12,052 --> 00:46:17,491
Life running in the vast wilderness.

497
00:46:20,327 --> 00:46:25,733
Where is it that you are heading?

498
00:46:28,435 --> 00:46:31,038
In this lonely world

499
00:46:32,139 --> 00:46:34,575
filled with cruel suffering,

500
00:46:36,310 --> 00:46:38,145
what...

501
00:46:38,779 --> 00:46:40,514
are you

502
00:46:41,649 --> 00:46:43,984
looking for?

503
00:46:48,289 --> 00:46:50,024
That's it.

504
00:46:50,791 --> 00:46:55,729
That's all I could come up with.

505
00:47:02,503 --> 00:47:04,905
In this world made of tears,

506
00:47:05,673 --> 00:47:08,042
will my death truly be the end of it all?

507
00:47:09,009 --> 00:47:11,278
Those of you in search of happiness.

508
00:47:11,512 --> 00:47:13,581
Only futility awaits you.

509
00:47:18,953 --> 00:47:21,055
Those smiling flowers

510
00:47:22,523 --> 00:47:24,792
and crying birds

511
00:47:26,393 --> 00:47:28,495
all share

512
00:47:29,797 --> 00:47:31,599
the same fate.

513
00:47:34,435 --> 00:47:37,705
Pitiful life, absorbed in living,

514
00:47:39,273 --> 00:47:41,242
you are the one

515
00:47:42,276 --> 00:47:44,411
dancing on the blade.

516
00:48:52,546 --> 00:48:55,816
Great job. That was incredible.

517
00:48:55,816 --> 00:48:58,919
-Sir...
-Yes.

518
00:48:58,919 --> 00:49:00,487
If you don't mind,

519
00:49:00,487 --> 00:49:03,524
may I sing one more song?

520
00:49:03,524 --> 00:49:05,693
Of course. I'd love that.

521
00:49:05,726 --> 00:49:07,795
What's the title of the song?

522
00:49:10,564 --> 00:49:12,333
"Hymn of Death."

523
00:49:19,606 --> 00:49:21,208
Seong-deok.

524
00:49:22,142 --> 00:49:25,446
There is some cash
in the bottom closet drawer.

525
00:49:25,446 --> 00:49:26,914
Give it to Mom.

526
00:49:26,914 --> 00:49:29,249
Why don't you give it to her yourself?

527
00:49:29,750 --> 00:49:32,086
You'll get home before I do.

528
00:49:34,588 --> 00:49:36,390
Then when will you be home?

529
00:49:38,292 --> 00:49:40,594
You'll be late. You should hurry.

530
00:49:41,028 --> 00:49:42,429
All right.

531
00:49:42,429 --> 00:49:45,532
Then I'll get going.
You should hurry home, too.

532
00:49:52,873 --> 00:49:54,475
Seong-deok.

533
00:50:00,848 --> 00:50:02,549
Goodbye.

534
00:50:38,919 --> 00:50:40,554
U-jin.

535
00:50:41,155 --> 00:50:44,625
All that is left here are your writings.
Where did you go?

536
00:51:00,140 --> 00:51:02,776
May I have your name, sir?

537
00:51:02,776 --> 00:51:04,578
Kim...

538
00:51:07,714 --> 00:51:10,684
Kim Soosan. I'm Kim Soosan.

539
00:51:10,684 --> 00:51:13,787
Mr. Kim Soosan.

540
00:51:13,821 --> 00:51:14,955
What is your name, ma'am?

541
00:51:14,955 --> 00:51:19,259
Then... I'm Yun Soosun.

542
00:51:24,832 --> 00:51:27,701
The stairs are quite steep.
Watch your step.

543
00:51:27,701 --> 00:51:30,404
I will. Thank you.

544
00:51:55,896 --> 00:51:57,598
What are you looking at?

545
00:51:58,232 --> 00:52:00,901
I was just wondering
if I forgot anything at home.

546
00:52:01,335 --> 00:52:03,704
So? Did you forget something?

547
00:52:05,072 --> 00:52:07,474
I keep thinking, but I don't think I did.

548
00:52:09,143 --> 00:52:10,644
What about you?

549
00:52:14,548 --> 00:52:16,283
I don't think I did, either.

550
00:53:04,665 --> 00:53:06,900
The sun will rise soon.

551
00:53:12,005 --> 00:53:13,640
Give me a moment.

552
00:53:44,471 --> 00:53:45,939
Now, let's go.

553
00:54:02,489 --> 00:54:04,258
Do you remember?

554
00:54:04,324 --> 00:54:08,629
After our last show in Gyeongseong,
we went to a dance hall together.

555
00:54:10,497 --> 00:54:12,366
I remember, of course.

556
00:54:14,635 --> 00:54:18,105
You danced with another man that night.

557
00:54:38,825 --> 00:54:41,194
I'll dance with you tonight.

558
00:55:34,948 --> 00:55:37,384
<i>Your unforgettable name.</i>

559
00:55:37,951 --> 00:55:40,320
<i>Deep in my heart,</i>

560
00:55:41,888 --> 00:55:44,624
<i>your name is engraved, and I long for you.</i>

561
00:55:48,228 --> 00:55:50,330
<i>You set fire to my heart.</i>

562
00:55:53,233 --> 00:55:57,371
<i>In my heart, you ignited
the inextinguishable flame of love. </i>

563
00:55:59,906 --> 00:56:02,008
<i>Before your name can be forgotten,</i>

564
00:56:02,309 --> 00:56:04,678
<i>I long for you again.</i>

565
00:56:10,751 --> 00:56:15,055
<i>Oh, even at the moment of death,</i>

566
00:56:15,722 --> 00:56:17,758
<i>I shall call out your name.</i>

567
00:56:21,094 --> 00:56:22,863
<i>Even as I am living,</i>

568
00:56:24,464 --> 00:56:26,433
<i>my heart longs for you.</i>

569
00:56:28,835 --> 00:56:31,204
<i>Until the moment of death,</i>

570
00:56:32,906 --> 00:56:35,041
<i>I will long for you.</i>

571
00:56:41,615 --> 00:56:43,884
<i>You set fire to my heart.</i>

572
00:56:46,386 --> 00:56:48,455
<i>In my heart, you ignited</i>

573
00:56:49,289 --> 00:56:51,558
<i>the inextinguishable flame of love, </i>

574
00:56:53,460 --> 00:56:55,095
<i>Sim-deok.</i>

575
00:59:18,405 --> 00:59:20,707
ARE YOU TRULY LIVING?

576
00:59:20,707 --> 00:59:24,044
NO, I AM YEARNING FOR DEATH
IN ORDER TO TRULY LIVE
