Original subtitles

Between you and Jung Kyung...

I mean, between the years you two have known each other...

Is there any space for me?

Why is it the same piece?

Song Ah.

Were you here?

I practiced here today.

The rehearsal room was double-booked.

Did you get my text?

Yes.

Did your practice go well?

Yes. It went well.

(Episode 11: Fermata, Hold, pause)

How about a drink?

No, thanks.

Don't you have other friends?

No.

I only had two friends.

You and Hyeon Ho.

I'll have what she's having.

Why are you here?

What do you want?

What?

I think she went for a drink.

She didn't look too happy.

Where did she go?

I don't know.

Okay.

You always go to the same places.

Thank you.

Hyeon Ho.

You're awake?

Where are we?

You had too much to drink.

Hyeon Ho.

Yes?

Can't you just hate me?

I want to.

But I just can't.

Song Ah.

What are you so deep in thought about?

About Franck's sonata.

Franck's sonata? Your grad school entrance exam piece.

Yes.

I'm thinking about...

switching to something else.

Why?

I thought I could do well.

But suddenly...

I'm wondering if it's something I can't ever master.

I'm losing confidence a bit.

Did you ever feel like this?

There are pieces...

that don't feel like my own.

I desperately want to make them mine,

but they're that much harder,

so I want to flee and play something easier.

But even if you run away, it doesn't change anything.

The thirst for the piece you let go only increases,

and eventually, you feel tormented and miss it.

Is that reluctance to give up?

Reluctance...

Perhaps.

So before you change a piece,

I'd like you to think carefully.

That advice is only based on my experience.

Okay.

Cheer up.

I'm sorry that there's nothing I can do for you.

No.

It's okay.

Are you done?

Not bad. Yes.

That's all for today.

Okay.

By the way, did you kick out Han Hyeon Ho?

Not yet.

Not yet?

Why are you so slow to act, Song Ah?

I can't have him in my chamber orchestra.

Professor Song Jeong Hee acts like...

Lee Jung Kyung is her daughter and takes her everywhere.

Do you think it makes sense for me to let Jung Kyung's boyfriend...

join my orchestra?

What is it?

Well... Professor. About Han Hyeon Ho.

What about him?

Compared to some of our other members, he has...

a pretty good career.

He'd be a great help to us if he were to join.

- Why don't you... - Song Ah.

Do you think I'm getting rid of him because I'm deaf?

Didn't you hear what I just said?

Professor, it's just that...

Han Hyeon Ho and Lee Jung Kyung broke up.

They broke up?

Yes.

Song Ah. Then were you aware that...

they used to date each other?

And when I suggested we let him in, you kept quiet?

No, well...

Song Ah.

Why are we putting together a chamber orchestra?

It's to get together with...

like-minded people who love music...

and to study and learn about it.

That's right.

Yes, and the key phrase here...

is "like-minded people".

That doesn't include Han Hyeon Ho.

One uncomfortable person ruins the whole ensemble.

We must feel comfortable around each other.

That's why I don't want him. Do you understand?

Why won't you answer?

Did you not understand?

No.

I understand.

(Mr. Han Hyeon Ho)

(Mr. Han Hyeon Ho)

Where is it?

I found it.

I'm so sleepy. What did you do?

Nothing.

What's this?

This is my music. Why did you scribble on it?

Sorry, I'll erase it.

Wait.

You scribbled on sheet music?

Kiss me here as a penalty.

- No. Give it to me. - Do it.

- I'll erase it for you. - Once it's done, it's done.

- That's nonsense. - It's not.

My goodness.

Will you scribble some more?

Don't you dare.

(Han Hyeon Ho, don't doze off.)

Hello?

Yes, hello. How have you been?

The chamber orchestra?

Is it because of me and Jung Kyung?

Because we used to date?

Well, I guess...

I'm not sure...

Okay, I get it. You're just caught in the middle.

(Han Hyeon Ho, don't doze off.)

I'll try a latte next time.

The door is closing.

Jeong Hee.

- Hello. - Hello.

The doors are closing.

Oh, the girl who won the Kyungdong Daily Competition.

Was her name Jung Da Sol? She's a junior.

I heard she's your student. Congratulations.

I didn't do anything. She's just very talented.

I know. Da Sol is a very ambitious girl.

I heard she even received lessons from a second teacher.

A second teacher? Da Sol receives extra lessons?

You didn't know?

Can't you tell when she plays during your lessons?

It sounds totally different when they receive other lessons.

Gosh, that's not a big deal.

They're just determined to learn more...

so they just receive extra lessons.

I just let them be.

My name will be on their profiles later anyway.

That's why they're second teachers.

Their names aren't even printed on the student profiles.

That's right.

But still, if they receive lessons from someone else,

it's so obvious.

No matter how much I pretend not to know, it's impossible.

My ears know it first.

Let's go back to the beginning.

If you look at the notes here,

the D-sharp alteration ascends sequentially,

while the third note which is an F...

descends the other way.

Also, the A note and C note...

are common notes between the German 6th Chord and the Tonic.

So you can maintain these notes on the same voice parts.

Okay. Let's wrap it up today.

Have a good day.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Song Ah. - Yes?

I heard Joon Young played for Jung Kyung at school a few days ago.

Yes.

Oh, so you knew about it?

Everyone is saying they were so cool.

I saw them too.

Song Ah, wasn't she...

the person who taught you at her master class?

- Yes. - Right, it's Lee Jung Kyung.

She's best friends with Joon Young.

Do you know her?

Of course I do. She's the daughter of Kyunghoo Group.

She was very famous since she was young.

She was so talented and pretty so people loved her.

She got her PhD at Julliard lately.

My gosh, this is unbelievable.

What is it?

They wrote an article on Kyu Hee's SBC interview.

She's entering the Tchaikovsky Competition this winter.

The Tchaikovsky Competition?

Kyu Hee is really amazing.

If it were me, I'd never enter another competition...

after winning the Queen Elizabeth Competition.

She might not do as well as this competition.

Wait. What if Mr. Park enters the Tchaikovsky Competition?

When I was in sixth grade,

I watched Park Joon Young's Chopin Competition videos...

and decided to become a pianist.

I'm so happy I won...

the Queen Elizabeth Competition this time.

I'm planning to enter next year's Tchaikovsky Competition...

(Ms. Cha)

What? My mom?

Yes. I made it clear I wouldn't do it.

Yes.

Okay, Young In.

Mom, it's me.

Did Mr. Park talk about some TV show?

No, it's just that it's something I should decide.

Why did you call Young In about something like that?

It's nothing to be proud of.

You should've just called me. Why did you...

I just called...

because Ms. Cha has been with you for so long.

Don't call the foundation.

And if you need anything, just ask me.

Okay.

- See you. - Hey.

Do you keep in touch with Hyeon Ho?

It's just that I heard Hyeon Ho was...

kicked out of Professor Lee's chamber orchestra.

I wondered if you knew anything.

What do you mean?

The thing is, a lot of our friends joined that chamber,

but Hyeon Ho was the only one who was kicked out.

Professor Song and Professor Lee's relationship...

is so well-known to everyone,

so people were gossiping that it was because of you.

What are you doing?

You're the one who didn't practice and ruined today's lesson.

What's with the cocky attitude?

Get your bow re-haired...

and let's talk at home.

Don't even think of going to bed...

before you fix what the professor pointed out today.

Do you understand?

Excuse me.

Hello.

Hello.

It's so nice to see you here.

Yes, me too.

May I ask you a question?

Sure.

Ji Won has such a fragile mentality.

I'm embarrassed to tell anyone about it.

Professor Song just compliments her all the time,

so everyone thinks...

Ji Won wins all the competitions she participates in.

But that's not true.

She either wins first place or is disqualified...

in the preliminary round.

I feel ashamed to see Professor Song.

She's fine usually, but when she gets nervous,

she's worse than ordinary students.

I'm so sorry.

- Go ahead. - Thank you.

It's an important call.

Excuse me.

Park Joon Young.

Why can't you get attached to the music?

You're making me uncomfortable and anxious.

What is it? What is the problem?

Goodness.

How can you enter the Tchaikovsky Competition like this?

Did you see Kim Kyu Hee's interview today?

She said you were her role model. What will it look like...

if you participate in the same competition and she beats you?

Will you be able to handle it?

You better take care of it and come to your senses.

- Okay. - Play again.

Ji Won.

Can I ask you something?

When you're on stage,

why do you think you become so nervous?

If you know the reason,

you may be able to find a way to cope with it.

I'll give you a few examples then.

You can choose.

Number one.

Because you didn't practice enough.

Number one. Because there are people watching.

And number three.

Because you're scared of your mom.

Which one were you?

Kyung Seon.

Don't you feel sorry for your daughter...

who's holed up practicing for hours a day?

Jung Kyung's only six years old!

- Just because she's talented... - I wouldn't do this for talent.

Jung Kyung's a genius. We can't waste what she has.

Kyung Seon!

Are you really doing this for Jung Kyung's sake?

Aren't you forcing your unrealized dream onto her?

I don't care what you think.

I will do everything I can to help Jung Kyung...

spread her wings.

Why must she stop when she has enough money and talent?

And number three.

Because you're...

scared of your mom.

Song Ah, did you leave something at home?

Why can't you concentrate?

What is really the matter?

Are you always so unfocused?

You decided to major in music much later than others.

Then you must work harder and better.

Try again.

- It's true that... - What?

I'm not that great at violin.

But I'm still...

trying very hard.

Song Ah.

I don't care about that.

This is the music department.

You're graded and put in line from best to worst.

You knew that before you started.

Will you practice here today?

No. Today, I'll practice at home.

I'm a bit tired.

You're not sick, are you?

I'm not.

It's so draining.

- I'm so tired. - Me too.

It's your friend.

What?

The violinist who always comes by.

She was right there.

Was she?

I heard the professor chewed you out yesterday.

Listen.

(Harmonics, 2nd semester, 2020)

The A note and C note are common notes between the Tonic.

So you can maintain these notes on the same voice parts.

(Mr. Park Seong Jae)

Me?

I'm grateful for the offer,

but why me?

I should've thought of you sooner, but I was so scatterbrained.

I heard a rumor that you and Joon Young are dating.

Right?

I thought of you as soon as I heard.

Let's cut out all the personal talk.

You're good at what you do and have common sense.

So I thought it would be great if we could work together.

Well...

Thank you for the offer,

but I can't play the violin and work at the same time.

Not at the same time. It's for after you graduate.

Aren't you going to quit playing the violin?

I never considered giving up.

What...

How many years have you played the violin?

Pardon?

Not as a hobby. Starting from when you prepared to major in music.

It's under 10 years, isn't it?

Yes.

I'm sorry to say...

you can't beat time. You know that.

They say you become an expert if you devote 10,000 hours,

but ask all your friends.

I bet they exceeded 10,000 hours of practice before they were 10.

They would have played the violin for hours a day since...

they were 4 or 5 and were tutored by professors.

I'm also sorry to say that...

you started too late in life.

Regardless of whether you're good or bad,

you just can't catch up.

I get that you like music,

but I feel you need someone who gives you realistic advice.

So I said it.

What?

It's confirmed?

Oh, you haven't heard yet. Too bad.

I'm the confirmed representative of the Korean branch,

so let's try to get along now.

Let's meet sometime soon.

We must discuss the reality show.

Shall we meet with the producer?

No. I said I won't do it.

Why did you go to see my mother?

Why do you think?

I went to say hello.

She's the mother of an artist I represent.

I might as well tell you now that I met Chae Song Ah too.

Song Ah? What for?

You're dating her.

So I... What's a manager for?

When did you two get so close?

What did you say to her?

Are you interrogating me?

I didn't say much.

What would I have to talk about but you?

Joon Young.

Don't worry.

I didn't tell her about your family.

Why would I say such things?

Anyway, let's set a date to meet.

Bye.

"Why did you see her? What did you say to her?"

Come on, drive.

(Saturday Concert)

You're seated in order of grades, right?

Don't come last in your class then!

You started too late in life.

Regardless of whether you're good or bad,

you just can't catch up.

You can't beat time.

(Saturday Concert)

Song Ah.

I heard...

you met Mr. Park earlier.

Yes.

Did he say something unusual?

He's not...

the type who talks gently.

I was worried he might have upset you.

He just gave me some good advice.

He said there are other paths I can take...

besides performing.

He said it's too late realistically.

Other people have played the violin for 20 years,

but I...

haven't even played half of that.

He said it's...

practically impossible for me to catch up to them.

And I don't even have the talent...

to overcome that accumulated time.

Actually, I felt like I was about to cry,

but what he said was so true,

so I just thanked him...

for his advice.

(To violinist Ms. Chae Song Ah)

Joon Young and I go back 15 years.

Since we met too late...

But I'm...

just waiting.

Just like how Joon Young...

waited for me all this time.

Since I started too late...

Will the fact that I like him...

(To violinist Ms. Chae Song Ah)

not be enough to catch up...

to the time that has already been accumulated?

- Daejeon? - Yes.

It's just a brooch.

I really wanted to buy it, but it's always sold out.

Someone is selling one that's almost brand new.

I've been scammed often while buying used goods before.

So I just told her I'll go get it myself.

Daejeon is even close enough to commute.

Right, if you go now,

you'll be back before the end of the day.

I'm so glad I have a smart person like you working for me.

Daejeon?

(Seoryeong University)

Yes, Joon Young.

Where are you right now?

I'm in front of the school.

I'm waiting for the bus to go to the bus terminal.

I'll take the three o'clock bus.

Why are you going to Daejeon so suddenly?

Professor Lee asked for a favor.

And you have to go to Daejeon?

It's regarding her chamber orchestra...

Oh, I see.

Hey.

If you go to Daejeon now, will you be back by today?

Yes.

Then you'll probably be back late.

It's okay. Some people even commute to work...

from Daejeon to Seoul.

Where is it in Daejeon?

- Yuseong-gu? - That's far from the terminal.

How do you know?

Oh, right. Did you say you were from Daejeon?

Well, it's been too long since I left Daejeon.

But I still know where it is.

Don't worry.

It's still in Korea, where we speak the same language.

I'll be back in no time.

Are you practicing at the foundation today?

No. I'm going to Jung Kyung's place to practice.

Oh, right. You said it was today.

That's my bus.

I need to go.

I'll see you tomorrow.

You have a visitor.

Okay.

Is that you?

I'm glad I didn't miss you.

What? Joon Young?

What are you doing here? Didn't you go to practice?

No.

I didn't want to send you alone, so I came.

Did you come alone?

What about your mom? Does she know you came here?

My answer...

is number three.

I'm so scared of my mom and my professor.

It's not like I don't like playing the violin.

I like it.

- But... - I know.

You're scared of your mom and professor, right?

You're scared you won't come in first place.

And you're scared what others will think of you.

But still,

you like playing the violin...

very much.

So you can't quit.

How did you know?

I was like that too.

I want to play the violin with you.

I just came.

Kyung Seon.

I'm thinking of you a lot lately.

I guess it's because I'm old.

Do you miss your daughter too?

She's starting to look more and more like you.

She's grown up to be very pretty.

(I'm sorry, Jung Kyung.)

I'm sorry, Jung Kyung. I don't think I can make it to practice today.

I'll call you tomorrow.

I got the money. Have a good day.

Goodbye.

Professor Lee. She just confirmed your payment.

Yes.

Yes, I'll bring it with me tomorrow.

Bye.

Did it go well?

Yes.

Let's go now.

Okay.

But I didn't know how much time it would take,

so I didn't buy a ticket back to Seoul.

What about you?

A ticket? I didn't buy one either.

I'm glad. Why are you smiling?

Let's go.

How about a simple dinner near the bus terminal later?

I'm not going to the bus terminal.

What?

Come on, let's go.

Why? Aren't we going back to Seoul?

This is where I learned to play the piano for the first time.

When I was six.

It used to be called "Hanbat Piano" back then.

Until I moved to Seoul in middle school,

I spent most of my time here.

I didn't have a piano at home.

(Mozart Piano School)

(Hanbat Piano School)

My parents were busy because of the shop,

so I spent all day in this place.

But I actually liked it.

Since there was no one at home anyway.

I think that's why I even enjoyed playing Czerny and Hanon's pieces...

when all the other kids hated it.

Why are you smiling?

It's just that I can't imagine you playing...

Czerny and Hanon's pieces.

Why? I even did all my homework.

Did you color an apple every time you played?

They were grapes.

Oh, grapes?

My elementary school is near here too.

Joon Young.

- Yes, Professor Song. - Hello.

Are you preparing well for your recital?

- Yes. - I'm glad.

By the way, when are you going to join our chamber?

Oh, wait.

Did you say you wanted to sponsor our concert first?

- Yes. - I see. Then...

my secretary will give you a call...

in a day or two.

Okay.

I really hope you join our chamber soon.

Right, Jung Kyung?

Yes, ma'am.

Yes. Have a good day.

A lot of our friends joined that chamber,

but Hyeon Ho was the only one who was kicked out.

Professor Song...

and Professor Lee's relationship is so well-known to everyone,

so people were gossiping that it was because of you.

When did you come?

Oh, you must be a friend.

Oh, yes. Hello, my name is Chae Song Ah.

- Hello. - She's my girlfriend.

Your girlfriend?

Oh, gosh. What do I do? I was working.

It's okay. I didn't know I'd meet you either.

It's nice to meet you.

We shouldn't stand here like this.

Did you eat?

If you haven't had dinner yet, you can come eat at our shop.

It's okay, we have a bus to catch.

Why?

Your father isn't home today. You should drop by.

- Come have dinner. - It's okay.

Okay, we will.

Really?

Will it be okay?

Yes, sure.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

I hope you enjoy it.

- You should eat with us. - No, it's okay.

You can eat comfortably.

It's Joon Young's first time bringing someone to Daejeon...

and I felt so happy and asked you to stay.

I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable.

I'm not sure if the food will fit your taste.

Don't worry. I really love Korean food.

Really?

The food is getting cold. You should eat.

Thank you for the meal.

Can we get another order of the bulgogi set?

Okay, sure.

- I hope you enjoy your meal. - Thank you.

Thank you.

I know it's uncomfortable.

You're such a heartless son, Joon Young.

We came all the way here...

and even bumped into your mom.

How could we just leave?

You never even brought a friend home.

No. It's my first time.

It's also the first time feeling this way.

I'm hungry. Let's eat.

This looks delicious.

Eat all you want.

You should eat too.

Oh, Han Hyeon Ho?

Yes. He's a good cellist,

and I think there was a misunderstanding.

So I asked to see you.

I know who he is.

I saw him at the master class.

It's not hard to invite him back into my chamber orchestra.

But you, Jung Kyung.

Professor Song retires this year.

If you take her place,

we'll have to face each other...

for many years to come as fellow teachers and colleagues.

I look forward to that.

Which is why I'd like to suggest that...

you sponsor my chamber orchestra.

Then I'll think about re-admitting Hyeon Ho.

I see you misunderstood.

- How so? - I asked to see you today...

because I thought he was...

suffering unnecessarily due to a misunderstanding.

- But? - He's not someone...

who should be made hostage to make a bargain.

I almost got involved...

and upset you in the process.

I'm sorry. Forget that we met today.

Get back safely.

Come by again.

I will. I really enjoyed dinner today.

Thank you.

Go on inside.

I will, after I see you off. Go.

Goodbye.

- Get home safely. - I will.

Your mother's a great cook.

Song Ah.

Shall we have some tea?

I don't even know...

when I saw my father...

for the last time.

He's really nice to other people.

He drinks a bit too much,

but he never gets into fights.

The problem is,

he keeps doing stuff.

He starts businesses and invests somewhere.

I get that he wants to do something,

but nothing...

ever worked out.

For a while now,

I've been feeling as if...

I play the piano to make money to pay his debts.

The thought that...

I don't ask others for help...

and manage to pay for everything myself...

kept me going and I put up with it all.

But that wasn't true.

Director Nah...

and even Jung Kyung.

I recently found out that they've been helping out.

I didn't expect to tell you this when I tagged along today.

Thank you...

for telling me.

I should thank you...

for letting me talk.

Actually, I have something to tell you too.

I'm not here...

because of the chamber orchestra.

Professor Lee bought...

a second-hand brooch online.

She doesn't trust the seller,

so she sent me.

I wasn't sure if I should do such errands too.

But I just bowed and said okay and left.

So to be honest,

I bought the ticket to Daejeon thinking...

I really didn't want to come here.

Right now,

I'm glad I came.

Thank you...

for tagging along.

(Do You Like Brahms?)

(We'd like to thank Woo Hee Jin for her special appearance.)

(Mozart Piano School)

Just seeing you brings me down, Dad.

I don't want to live like that.

Your career as a violinist ended long ago.

Why can't you accept that?

I can't tell Joon Young.

What should I do?

Here's my present.

- Chae Song Ah. - Song Hee.

There's a big gap in talent.

People are talking about it.

Joon Young is a celebrity.

Nothing good will come from a rumor that he has a girlfriend.

- What's wrong? - Pardon?

- I'm sorry. - Come here.

Come on.

It's okay.
