Original subtitles

Nice car.

You're so famous. I rented a nice car just for you.

Im being sarcastic.

Please get a different car, ma'am.

One thats all black.

Okay. Also, Im young. You can speak casually with me.

You look young.

RESUME

I thought about it. I cant play for him.

Look for another trumpeter.

Kang Gun-woo?

Oh, he has the same name as you.

-Hes a trumpeter. -Seoul Arts High School,

Seoul National University, Juilliard. Is that all?

What about awards?

If he graduated from Juilliard--

Whats so remarkable about graduating from Juilliard?

I booked a top hotel for you.

-Is that okay? -Can I take my dog?

Will you be sleeping with him?

Not on my bed, but by my side.

I doubt the hotel would permit that.

Id prefer staying in a house with a yard thats next to a park to walk my dog.

Two bathrooms. One for me, one for Thoven.

Dont even think of bathing Thoven in some plastic bathtub.

Thoven is allergic to plastic.

What about bed and breakfast?

Do you work in a place where people barbecue and drink?

-Sorry? -Youre bad in Korean.

Its an analogy.

I cant concentrate in hectic places like bed and breakfasts.

Sir, this way.

This way, please.

This is my friends house.

Stay here for a minute.

Ill go ask the realtor down the street to find a place for you to stay.

Ill be back.

Why isnt he answering his phone? Where did he go?

Sir.

Im told theres a huge villa over there.

Theres no yard, but its quite big.

-Open it. -Pardon?

Why?

Sure.

Did he change the password?

-What about personality? -Me?

The owner of this house. Is he complicated?

No, not really.

You need to take off your shoes.

Not bad.

Oh, but the owner of this house...

Its a pig pen, but the interior and furniture are nice.

Get me my suitcase.

But this house is already--

I'll put a grand piano there, so clear it out.

Is the kitchen over here?

Its dirty. Clean it.

Wheres the bathroom?

Arent you relying too much on your memory?

-Write it down. -Someones already living here!

Im disappointed.

Didnt you say you knew the owner?

Influence is key as a civil servant.

How did you manage an orchestra without persuasion skills?

Is something wrong with you?

Kitchen and bathroom.

Should I clean the entire house and make it simple?

NO TRESPASSING! BEWARE OF DOG!

Please try again.

Hand on your head.

Who are you?

Im the owner. Why? Who are you?

Wait!

Lets say classical music is blank. Fill in the blank for me.

I dont think its blank.

You're the owner?

She didnt contact you ahead of time. Shes unreliable.

Go to the second floor.

You havent aged in the past ten years.

Do you know me?

What do you think classical music is?

I think its bullshit.

What?

Gosh, Gun-woo!

Youve already met.

I was going to introduce you.

You saw his resume earlier.

Hes Kang Gun-woo.

Right, Gun-woo? Introduce yourself.

This is our conductor--

I know. The conductor. Get rid of him.

Gosh, youre such a kidder.

He didnt mean that. He mistook you for someone else.

Hes just sensitive about sharing his home with somebody else.

Is that so? Then youll have to live alone.

Get out.

Sorry?

I cant share a house with a rude bastard like him.

Kick him out.

Sir, please open the door--

Hey!

Everything worked out. He finally agreed.

Hell let you use the second floor, but you have to be quiet.

Wait.

Is that not a good thing?

Do you want to use my room?

Lets swap for two months. Ill pay you rent!

Is my room too small? Do you want to stay at an inn?

If not, you can stay at a motel or hotel.

Dont worry about the money. I can tap into my savings.

Come here for a second.

ABSOLUTE SILENCE

Hes a musician.

Who are you calling?

Hi, this is Gun-woo.

There was a breaking and entering and trespassing.

-Please send-- -Wait.

There were no breaking and entering. Backup is not necessary.

Its nothing! Do not come! Over!

Hey!

I know Im pushing it.

You helped me out as it is,

and for me to ask you to share a house with him...

I know Im out of line.

Fine.

Ill do whatever it takes to find him another place.

That's right.

There was some scratchy noise while I was moving your stuff.

Man, is my trumpet messed up?

The movers werent careful when moving your things.

-If it's an instrument-- -Which box is it?

Where is it?

-Hey! -Gun-woo, Im sorry.

I know Im being completely shameless, but I need to save myself.

The house and trumpet...

There arent trumpeters.

You know what I had to go through to find one.

Yes. You said I was a bitch, right?

Youre right, a bitch.

So please, Gun-woo,

help me out with the house and trumpet.

I'll count to three.

Gun-woo, why are you such a jerk?

-One. -Whats so hard

about sharing your house and playing the trumpet?

You can pee and poop out there.

Gun-woo, please.

-Two. -Lets take revenge on the conductor

after the concert is over. Ill do it for you.

Ill perform the Chinese water torture and ask him what the blank is all night.

So just for two months, please?

No, a month. No, a week.

Three!

-Hey. -Three days.

I give you three days to find a house and new trumpeter.

-Really? -Until then...

Fine, Ill endure it.

Thanks.

Gun-woo, thank you so much.

-Ill never forget-- -Ill never help you again.

Okay.

Yes, sir.

Ill hang the shower curtains right now.

Gun-woo.

You can do it!

Thanks for coming, sir.

Im Du Ru-mi, the coordinator and concertmaster.

Why are we practicing so late at night?

Well, this is a project orchestra,

so everyone does other jobs...

Then is this a part-time gig?

Oh, no. This is what they do full-time.

Theyre still in the process of transferring...

Lets start with woodwind.

Lady, when did you last play?

Me?

-My name is Jung Hui-yeon. -Seems like more than 20 years ago.

Why do you grab your bow so tight?

Do you play the electric violin?

Flute, how old are you?

-I go to a music college. -Youre at a high school level.

Oboe.

Did you keep exercising after you retired?

-I go hiking for an hour-- -You need to breathe longer.

Oboe has breathing intervals, but arent you way out of breath?

-And you. -What? Me?

-Which cabaret do you work for? -Dont Tell Papa.

Sir!

Whats going on?

Well...

The members arent at their best

because they're with other orchestras too--

Give me the honest truth.

Whats going on?

You must have heard rumors about me.

Did you hear I quit conducting while the President was attending the concert?

That happened a long time ago. Im 40 years old now.

I get too tired to throw a tantrum like that.

Don't do it.

Lets sit down and talk. Come here.

It must have been hard for you.

Just tell me everything.

I took a ten-hour plane ride here, I cant just leave empty-handed.

Well...

If I tell you,

-will you conduct-- -If theres a valid reason, absolutely.

Hey, Ru-mi!

Whats wrong with him?

I dont get it.

That's an act. Dont do it.

Sir, well, the thing is...

I was conned.

Conned? What kind?

Well...

Her name was Ku Jeong-ae.

Oh, Ku Jeong-ae?

Shes very famous.

It must have been hard for you.

Yes.

We've already paid her, but the scandal surfaced afterward.

The orchestra members all quit because we couldnt pay them.

No, I can totally understand why they quit.

The problem was that I was conned.

Right. Shes such a terrible person.

How could she steal the performance fee? Its not that much money.

We live on pride.

She took advantage of innocent people.

Right.

So how did you get those people?

Well...

People wouldnt come for free in the beginning.

So I opened it up to everyone regardless of experience,

and thats when we got college students, a cabaret performer

and people who havent played for decades.

We were horrible in the beginning, but weve come a long way.

Im leaving tomorrow. Buy my plane tickets.

Pardon?

Excuse me, sir.

Why did you pretend to be nice when you were going to leave anyway?

Pretend?

There are many dimensions to a persons character.

I just showed one aspect, that's all.

And above all else, Im not convinced. Thats all!

-If you were to hear me out-- -Forget it!

A bastard like that can't create good music.

-Come in. -Hey, wait. Let go of me.

Dont you remember how terrible you were on the trumpet?

Youve never played in an orchestra, have you?

Its ridiculous of you to lecture me about good music.

Sir.

Hey, whats the matter with you?

I see.

Can you ask your guest conductor?

Please.

Yes, thank you.

Bye.

What did he say?

It will be tough.

Hes too busy with the Jeju Philharmonic Orchestra performances.

Hey, do you know any conductors?

Whats wrong?

Why did he piss the conductor off?

You need to have self-control.

Its a shock for him, too.

He lost his house and got reported--

The things you do! Gosh.

It must be nice being young.

Are conductors that hard to come by?

Dont worry.

Hes just upset.

I shouldve listened to you

and bluffed until the end.

Hey.

I have a friend whos in a marching band.

Should I call him?

No.

You can tell just by seeing how somebody holds the baton.

I also need to introduce him to the mayor.

Theres no way out of this.

I'm completely trapped.

Ill have to tell Mayor Kang the truth tomorrow.

Will I get arrested? Will I go to prison?

Well, its a mistake you made at work, so no.

Still, Ill have to pay the money back, right?

Its the taxpayers' money.

If I tap into all my savings,

itll be 20 million won.

Seven million won for my car.

This is about 30 million won, so...

Youre going to sell that?

Of course, I need the money.

Hey, pretty girl.

Lets get a makeover today.

Ill fit a new bridge, sand the fingerboard, and polish you up.

What? Okay, fine.

The pegbox. Was it tight?

Ill use peg paste.

Ill make you pretty, so you can meet a wonderful new owner.

You need a chance to perform too.

Dont you think?

Gosh.

I cant believe you want me to sell you off.

I guess you didnt like me much.

Lets perform.

And make money.

Are they going to play?

-It looks like it. -I think they're playing.

Really?

How can I perform here? Its embarrassing.

-Pretend it's the subway. -That was...

Hurry up.

Forget it!

A bastard like that can't create good music.

See how good it is.

Its enjoyable.

Maestro, my butt.

You pompous freak.

Youre so dead.

Hey.

I was very patient.

Ill die either way anyway,

from bursting from containing the rage or blowing up.

Im going to play the violin in the lawn all night, so he cant sleep.

What the heck?

Thoven, what did you eat?

Hey, Thoven.

Thoven, open your eyes!

Open your eyes, Thoven!

Thoven, open your eyes.

Open your eyes, Thoven!

Thoven.

Thoven.

Thoven!

What was that?

I need an ambulance.

My dog is sick.

He collapsed after taking sleeping pills.

-You need to pump his stomach. -Dont make prank calls.

Excuse me? Its not a prank call. My dog is really sick.

Send an ambulance--

Hello?

I thought you loved me.

I never said that.

Why do I have to sacrifice so many things in the name of music?

Sir, are you okay?

Sir, is something wrong?

Sir.

Do you have a car?

Thoven, dont fall asleep or youll die.

-What happened to your dog? -I don't know.

-Why did he eat the sleeping pills? -To commit suicide.

He had no choice but to take his life.

Look at his owner.

Legs, Thovens legs.

I doubt any veterinary hospitals are open right now.

Find one!

Be it an ER or a university hospital. I need to save him.

Okay, Ill be sure to look everywhere in the middle of the night.

Thoven.

Thoven.

-What? -Dont fall asleep or youll die.

Dont just stand there! Lets go!

Go ahead.

Are you going to go to the ER?

What is she doing? Where is she going?

We have a veterinarian in our orchestra.

Clarinetist Hong Jun-gi.

Thats great.

Why did she go alone?

Conduct for us.

You dont want to?

Hey, come back.

Do you think this will make me conduct well?

Ill give you 15 minutes.

What did Gun-woo mean by not treating the dog?

Nothing. Dont worry about it.

This is the only thing you can think of?

I thought about conducting as a form of gratitude if you took care of my dog.

But...

Gun-woo, its me.

Hes getting his stomach pumped.

-Hell be okay. -What? Hes about to die?

Okay.

You have ten seconds left.

My dog is big.

Itll be difficult to bury it.

Even if you sell it, who would want meat of a dog that overdosed?

Times up.

Summer is long gone. Who--

Hey, kill it.

Fine, Ill do it!

Ill write up the content of the contract later.

Just sign it.

I just cant trust you.

Thoven.

Wheres my Thoven?

Thoven.

Thoven...

Thoven.

Thoven, my boy.

You made it.

Let me take a look at your face.

Are you okay?

You did well. You made it.

Thoven.

Im so glad you made it.

Thoven.

You made it.

I have no recollection.

CONTRACT

Its a piece of paper. What about it?

Okay, Ill do it!

Just save my Thoven and Ill conduct for you!

-Whos that? -Youre pathetic.

Pathetic?

The most pathetic thing for me to do in life is conduct a trashy orchestra.

Its tarnishing classical music.

On top of that, you threatened me using Thoven whos like family to me.

I wont ever forgive you.

I dont care. Just conduct.

What?

Gun-woo!

Not you, sir, him.

Keep quiet.

Sir, Im sorry.

You do know Thoven was already receiving treatment, right?

Who came up with the plot?

You or him? Whos the brains behind it?

It was me. Im the concertmaster. I did it.

You already received the signing bonus and I got you a place to stay,

but you refused to conduct for us,

so I came up with the plan.

I'm sorry.

Even if you refused, you know we wouldve saved Thoven.

So if you would be kind enough to help us out--

I cant drive.

-Sorry? -I need a driver.

And a maid who cooks and cleans.

I can definitely do that for you!

Someone needs to walk, bathe and feed Thoven,

do the laundry, organize things, and run errands.

-Ill do everything! -Man!

What are you doing?

You said to work.

-Are you two going out? -No, were not.

You guys take the blame for each other and you help each other.

Its beautiful.

But this is work.

I got how young and immature you are,

so get a room and show off your love elsewhere!

What else do you need

besides dog food and water?

The issue at hand is who will take responsibility--

Gosh, you never stop talking.

What else do you want me to do?

Give me a list of things.

Sir, be patient.

You must do it on your own.

No help from your fairy godmother.

Okay.

-You're dead. -What?

When did he want you to finish cutting the grass?

Two oclock.

Just mow the lawn.

He said to do it by hand.

It will take forever to organize his stuff.

Can we finish everything before the rehearsal?

Were you able to sleep?

Why did you help me?

Hes mean, but hes older than me.

-I was out of line to threaten him. -No, I mean me.

You said youd never help me.

But you rented me the house, stopped the conductor from leaving,

helped me with chores. And then you're playing the trumpet.

Youre going to keep playing, right?

Youre not going to leave, right?

-Hey. -Yes?

If you dont have anything to do, cut the grass over there.

I wonder why youre helping me.

It's putting me in a good mood.

Why did you help me?

Why did you help me?

-Why did you help me? -Hey!

-Its cold! Stop it. -Why did you help me?

I was going to wash these anyway.

Ill do it now since my clothes are dirty.

I was going to wash them.

Gosh, it feels good!

You should go now.

After I finish with the dishes.

Sir.

I wasn't helping. I just did the laundry.

No, I didnt even do the laundry.

I didnt help him one bit.

Do it all on your own.

I-deun, the reason I wanted to see you...

Dont come closer. Talk from there.

Im not insane.

I dont care. Im going to tell.

It gives me the creeps to be sitting next to a nutcase!

I have dementia.

No, not yet.

Insanity and dementia, same thing.

Two weeks ago, I went to the hospital because I wasnt feeling well.

The doctor said

I had a couple of strokes that I didnt even know about.

I thought I dozed off for a second,

but I had brain damage,

so the possibility of me getting dementia is high.

I think it already hit you.

I was mistaken about the milk.

I was anxious about getting dementia.

I got nervous.

But one things for sure, I dont have dementia now.

-Not yet. -See? You already have it!

I can prevent myself from getting it if I make an effort.

If I exercise, move my fingers, play the oboe,

and use my brain to do things.

Im going to tell. I dont like it!

Hey.

Hey, I-deun, wait!

Isnt it difficult to juggle working and studying?

Ill give you some money to buy books.

This will only buy me one book. What can I do with 10,000 won?

Really?

Heres 20,000 won. Buy a couple of books.

Take care of yourself.

Losing your mind when youre old is the saddest thing in the world.

Right, okay.

Thanks.

What are you doing over there?

Hurry, the conductors coming.

Do you remember what I told you, everyone?

Dont take Mr. Kang's words personally,

and be sure to smile, okay?

You look nice today.

I dressed up to look good for you.

Hes going to criticize you soon after. Thats his style.

Dont let him get to you.

You look sharp yourself.

Im here with an open mind.

Your musical abilities arent up to par,

but I praise your passion for music.

Yes, classical music needs to be enjoyed within our daily lives.

Lets start with the first piece.

Lets have fun.

Great.

Do you get the beat?

Lets try one more time.

Mr. Kang.

Mr. Kang.

Mr. Kang.

Oh my, what time is it?

Its 9:55 p.m.

Im sorry.

I have to run.

How can you leave when you were the last one to get here, lady?

I have to make snacks for my husband at ten.

Why do you keep calling me lady?

-Call me Hui-yeon. -Hui-yeon can leave.

For the rest of you, lets practice until 10:30 p.m.

If I practice 30 minutes more, are you going to pay me overtime?

How can you say that after texting throughout the rehearsal?

Mr. Bae.

Why do you keep pissing me off?

You're not the concertmaster!

Youre unbelievable. Who cares if I text while practicing?

-Hey, everyone. -Hang on.

The reason for the confusion is because we dont have a set of rules in place.

-Why dont we select a leader-- -We have a concertmaster.

Mr. Bae, why dont you be quiet!

A leaders different from the concertmaster.

Ms. Du is our concertmaster,

which focuses on musical elements--

-Im off! -You cant leave!

Go blow in the back! Gosh!

So...

The leader should be in charge of strengthening our teamwork.

Ten oclock!

-Sit down! -No!

Sit down.

Blow outside!

The cacophony of those sounds was wonderful.

That fits your level.

Continue on. Its very good.

Mr. Kang.

Sir.

Sir.

Sir, Im sorry.

People will calm down...

Why dont you change the piece?

Like Beethovens "Wellington's Victory."

Itll be perfect with the sound of canons.

I know it annoys you.

Im annoyed, too.

-But-- -Let him go.

Theyre improving little by little. Lets do it on our own.

I suppose as long as you get the job done.

The question is, will you?

A conductor only waves his arms in the air anyway.

Just put him on the podium the day of the concert and forget about him.

They say ignorance is bliss.

-Conducting is-- -Hurry, come in.

Where are you going, Hui-yeon?

Why dont we practice a little longer?

-Are you okay? -Yes.

-Are you hurt? -No.

-I have to go. -Go take your seat.

Go home if youre going to text.

Why? Im supposed to get 180,000 won.

You wanted to choose a leader, right?

Any volunteers?

Okay, applause!

-Then lets-- -Hey.

Are you the concertmaster? Why are you in the front?

Im only regulating.

Would you like to do it?

Just regulate.

-Okay. -Here.

Okay, then...

Lets take it again from where the strings come in.

Lets go!

Wait!

Hey.

Dont you think were off pitch?

They're even off pitch. What could I possibly do?

-We tuned our instruments earlier. -Precisely.

They have the confidence and courage to play even when theyre slightly off.

Its great.

Which instrument was off pitch?

Its okay. You guys cant even tell.

Ill still try.

Can you distinguish

these two sounds?

Right, just think of it as the sound of a snack. Itll be easier.

Dont you think the orchestra members are dedicated?

Theyre all here to practice even though they have--

Practice. Whos stopping them?

Just play at home, not on stage.

If not, play at a playground or by the river.

Consider yourselves as an outdoor band.

Why do you want to perform at a huge venue? Thats vanity.

Yes, I know.

But the circumstances...

We were given an opportunity.

-To throw that away-- -No, they can throw it away.

They need to have the courage to know their abilities and accept it.

"I'm of humble birth.

I have no right to play classical music.

I only belong in the audience.

I should go to concerts and listen to famous people perform."

There are many great musicians out there. Leave it to them.

They need to make dinner for the husband,

go to work and make money.

Why bother when they dont even have the time?

Classical music is for aristocrats.

The times have changed, but the essence doesnt.

Answer your phone.

Hello?

Im calling from Mirae Fund.

Id like to give you some investment advice.

What, you son of a bitch?

Why would you tell me that?

How dare you give me crap, saying it's advice?

Shut up, asshole!

I make the decision to buy or not!

The times have changed, but the essence doesnt!

Yes, we dont have the time or money. Were sad incompetent souls.

That doesnt mean we need to kill ourselves!

Who said commoners cant play music?

Is it against the law?

Humble birth? Aristocrats?

Are you still living in the Joseon Dynasty, asshole?

-I know they hung up. -What is it to you if they hung up?

Did you know Mozart was a commoner, you jerk?

According to your theory,

Mozart shouldve milked cows and sold cheese all his life!

If you were a conductor back then, you wouldve destroyed many great talents!

Youre like Salieri!

Your name is Du Ru-mi?

Your parents named you wrong.

Durumi means crane, but you're like a chicken.

A feisty chicken.

I like how you are straightforward.

Its much better than talking behind my back.

I see.

Yes, Mozart was a commoner.

Thats true.

Yes, and he was a genius.

Yes, a genius.

Thats why I hate Mozart.

Not all commoners are alike.

There are commoners who can determine accurate pitch

and there are commoners who cant even tune their instrument.

Tune them again.

Lets start with woodwind.

Thoven, Im letting you in on a secret.

I dont know which instrument is out of tune.

I just know its slightly off.

What? You know?

Of course, youre a dog. You can hear better.

My Thoven should lead this orchestra.

Dont you agree?

Is something wrong?

-How did you do it? -Sorry?

Youre in tune. What did you do?

I turned on the air-conditioning.

The wind instruments pitch got higher because it was hot in here.

I lowered it by turning on the air-conditioning.

How?

How did you know how high it went for you to adjust it?

I could just tell it was off by 1/8, which required this much adjustment.

Hey, apologize, man. Go on.

No, let him be.

I could just tell it was off by 1/8, which required this much adjustment.

Cant you just tell it was 1/8 degrees off which is about this much?

Hey, Gun-woo.

Its about 1/4 degree off,

so this much.

How did you play an off-tuned piano?

Stop shooting.

Make up an excuse for me in exchange for tuning the piano.

Im going to go out and have fun.

-Hey, lets go. -Okay.

Gun-woo.

Why do you practice like theres no tomorrow? Thats so dumb.

Enjoy yourself.

Its a song, music.

Ill announce the grand prize.

The winner is...

Kang Gun-woo.

Its amazing.

We have two grand prizes this year.

Jung Myeong-hwan.

Come in!

What happened?

Why is Myeong-hwan conducting our graduation performance?

Well, Gun-woo.

He started to learn how to conduct after me.

He picked it up because he thought I looked cool.

He switched to conducting without much thought.

This is a school. Please lower your voice.

I heard I had the highest score two days ago!

What happened all of a sudden?

Im the one whos supposed to conduct the graduation performance!

-I dont understand. -Its because of your attitude.

If you were pleasant to your professors

and if you were social, this wouldnt have happened.

You were only off by a point.

After receiving the Bruno Walter Emerging Conductor Award, gifted conductor--

Jung Myeong-hwan conducted

the Dresden Philharmonic and Vienna Philharmonic.

He conducts famous European orchestras and has received worldwide reputation.

Gifted conductor from Korea--

World-famous conductor Jung Myeong-hwan will be honored

with the Golden Crown Order of Merit--

I could just tell it was off by 1/8, which required this much adjustment.

Water.

Gosh, its in the fridge.

Wheres the water? Spring water!

I stocked it in the fridge.

Dont act cocky.

If youre from a humble birth, you need to bow down!

What the hell is he saying?

SEOKRAN MAYOR KANG CHUN-BAE

Mayor Kang?

Hi, Mr. Kang.

I shouldve gone to greet you first,

but I heard you were still practicing.

It's nice to meet you.

Please have a seat.

Please get us tea.

It's a bit messy, isn't it?

I have a lot of work.

I keep on getting more work to do.

As mayor, I should be more organized, but the work keeps piling up.

The city of music...

What do you think?

Doesnt it fit our citys image?

A pastoral symphony fits perfectly given all the farms.

A pastoral symphony?

I know that piece. Its wonderful.

That's a drama theme song.

Are they different?

-Its a joke. -What did you want to say?

Right, through this concert,

I have high hopes of developing Seokran into a city of music.

Why a city of music?

I heard the government plans on selecting a cultural zone.

And Seokran is one of the candidates.

Thats not the only reason--

You need something unique to be designated as a cultural zone.

Busan is for movies,

Gangwon is for plays,

Bucheon is for animation.

Thats right, but no city claimed music yet--

-You dont need to spend money. -Is that true?

Instead, youll need something more.

-Time. -Oh, time.

Its okay. I have plenty of time.

Take your time filling me in

on your opinion of how to make Seokran into a city of music.

But first, please take a look at this.

This is the list of guests Ive invited to the performance.

Its best that you dont invite them

because the performance wont be that great.

Why are you being so modest?

I know youre very talented.

Didnt you perform for the President?

Im glad you mentioned it.

That was actually--

Thats why I invited someone of your caliber as an esteemed guest.

This person.

Him.

I dont know how he knew about it,

but he arrived in Korea just in time for the concert.

Actually, hes here to receive an award.

My former political leaders in-laws uncle

knows Jung Myeong-hwan.

Thats how I was able to invite him.

He promised to come.

Arent you good childhood friends?

Arent you happy to meet again as conductor and audience?

You didnt get a conducting job yet?

Want me to hook you up?

Im sorry.

We decided to hire Mr. Jung Myeong-hwan as the conductor instead of you.

How much did you weigh before?

Ninety-three kilograms?

What are you doing?

Lets practice!

Do you know who Helen Keller is?

She was blind and deaf, but she overcame her disabilities

to graduate from college and become a miracle social activist.

Lets do that.

Lets make a miracle.

Ill be your Anne Sullivan!

Whats with that look?

Do you think youre better than that?

At least Helen Keller was smart and received support from her family.

You dont have money, talent, experience or flexibility.

To pull off a performance in 20 days is a miracle, isnt it?

Try to be like Helen Keller.

Close your mouth and eyes, and open your ears.

Only pay attention to the music and my voice.

I'll make you at least say "water."

I dont know if itll be water, bean paste or dung, but...

Lets begin. Oboe.

Thats not it. Again.

Throw your breath more. Again.

Expand your diaphragm and tighten your stomach muscles!

Did you run up the stairs? Do you smoke? Again!

Thats not it!

Hes criticizing Mr. Kim who played the oboe for more than 30 years.

Whats going to happen to us?

Should we quit?

Lets skip the oboe part and go with the strings.

Whats wrong?

Tell us what you didnt like about the oboe performance.

Shut your mouth.

Play for me, lady.

Did you really graduate from music school?

Yes.

Then what's the problem?

I havent played in a long time.

Do you know youre just a nuisance?

Didnt you want people to call you Hui-yeon?

Do you know what that means?

You need to own up to your name.

Do you think you own up to your name?

I'd be too afraid to say my name with talent like that.

You're one brave woman.

You dont practice, your pitch is off,

but you're cocky about attending music school,

so youll only perform in an orchestra.

Youre so selfish.

Tell us what were doing wrong, so we can fix it!

Gun-woo, be quiet.

Im sorry.

I have ways to go.

Do you want me to cut you some slack?

Do you know what they call people like you?

Incorrigible, nuisance, obstacle, and the list goes on.

Theres one thing I want to call you.

C-R-A-P.

Why, that son of a...

Shall we recognize your lack of talent?

Repeat after me.

C-R-A-P.

Why are you suddenly being like this?

You dont want to practice?

Youre not going to perform?

Theyre all good people.

Even though theyre not getting paid, theyre here in hopes to perform.

Must you treat them like morons?

Jung Myeong-hwan is coming.

Hes the one who always hindered me from my goals.

Anyhow, Ill have to conduct those people in front of him.

Do you think that makes sense?

You can teach us nicely.

Dont you know a carrot works better than a whip?

I dont know!

Im not even pleased with professionals.

If I dont hear the sound I want, I hold auditions and fire existing members.

I keep changing the first and second performers until Im satisfied.

But I have to go on stage with those people out there.

Does that make sense?

Isnt a successful performance a fun one?

-If you create fear-- -Listen to me!

I have to perform with that trash in front of a jerk

who became the best conductor on a whim!

All because of you!

Are you drunk? Would it be okay to hear something important?

What is it?

How can you not even play a note accurately?

By someone with your style, do you mean an orchestra killer?

Youre saying Jung Myeong-hwan can make an outstanding brew using this.

Look forward to the concert.

You have to do something.

Ill just keep it as a dream.

Im not telling you to realize your dream.

At least dream of realizing it.

So...

I need you.

Me too.

Ill show you some of my magic.

Ill show it to you myself, not my replacement.

The important thing is what you want to convey to the audience.

The emotions.

Maestro Kang, youre the best!

This is it for me.

Hope you do well on your own.
