NAVILLERA

EPISODE 11

Mom, go inside.

Father.

Hae-nam.

Come on inside, honey.

Drink while it's hot.

I'm sorry, Hae-nam.

I'm…

I'm sorry.

That day…

What?

Do you remember that day?

Goodness.

-Get back to work. -Deok-chul, thank you for everything.

-Take care of yourself. -We'll visit you soon.

-Thank you all. -Thank you for everything.

-Goodbye. -See you again.

-Take care. -Bye.

-Spend some time with your wife. -I will.

WE BELIEVE IN YOU!

Hae-nam.

-Honey, you're amazing. -What? Me?

Yes. You worked hard for 40 years without ever complaining

until the day you retire.

You really hung in there.

Thank you, Deok-chul.

I couldn't have done it without you.

Half the credit is yours. Thank you, Hae-nam.

-Let's get going now. -Okay. Let's go.

When you told me I should take half the credit

for your 40 years of hard work,

I felt really proud.

So by the same token,

after all the years that we've been together,

half of your dream of doing ballet

should be mine, right?

Stay strong.

Don't go anywhere.

Stay by my side

and achieve what you want by all means.

Hae-nam.

Promise me, Deok-chul.

Okay. I promise.

Mom knows, too?

Yes.

Don't worry.

She's okay.

No. It's not that she's okay.

She thinks she should stay strong.

She said she can take care of Father on her own.

Why don't we have him checked up at another hospital--

Seong-san.

Anyway, let's go to my place.

I'll call Seong-suk over.

I can't believe it.

-I want to go see Father. -Honey, calm down.

-Get out of my way. -Seong-suk.

I understand how you feel,

but let's act as usual.

It won't help Father if we cause a fuss.

Think about why Father didn't tell us.

It's best if we just go about as usual, Seong-suk.

What's going to happen to Father?

For now, he just gets forgetful sometimes

and loses his memories for short moments.

But if things get worse,

I'll look after him here.

Seong-san.

But both you and Ae-ran work.

How can you possibly look after him?

We'll find a way.

These days, you can get home care services.

We could hire a caregiver, too.

I appreciate your offer,

but that's not going to be easy.

In many cases I've seen,

they end up putting their parents in nursing homes in the end.

Are you suggesting we put Father in a nursing home?

That's not what I mean!

Seong-san.

What I'm saying is,

we should look for realistic options.

I know you want to look after him yourself,

but it'll be just too much for you.

Yeong-il and I will…

We'll do it.

We can always step out of our office if something happens,

but you can't.

We live a lot closer to Father as well.

Why would you do that?

-I'll do it. -Seong-san.

I'm his child, too.

You, Seong-suk,

and Seong-gwan aren't his only children.

This isn't going anywhere. Let's ask what Mom thinks first.

Aren't we asking what Grandpa thinks?

Think about it.

Why do we get to decide where Grandpa should live?

Does being sick mean he doesn't get a say? No, it doesn't.

Shouldn't Grandpa be the first person to ask?

EUN-HO

Hey.

Hey.

It's me.

Why…

didn't you…

Can we meet?

Is this what you wanted to tell me

the other day?

I tried to tell you many times, but…

I'm sorry.

Don't be.

You don't have to apologize.

I'm the one who should say sorry.

I had no idea and kept asking you to take good care of him.

You must have been struggling.

Both you and my grandpa.

Even while being unwell,

he gave me Bungbung as a present

and sent a message to my radio show.

How could he be so concerned about me even in this situation?

I just…

Thank you, Chae-rok.

I'm not sure if you should thank me.

All I do is stand by Mr. Sim's side.

Just like he stands by me.

You didn't sleep at all?

I have to go to work.

Yes. Let's get ready, honey.

Yesterday, I had seaweed soup for breakfast

and wore a navy suit.

Hae-nam made me some tea.

What tea was it?

I don't remember.

It's 70 points for today.

Goodness.

Ho-beom.

Three, four…

Don't you need to go through a tryout to join a football team again?

What are you talking about? I'm not fit enough yet.

I won't be ready for a while.

Don't wait until you're ready.

Do you mean I should just dive right in?

Speaking from experience,

you're never going to be perfectly ready.

Start now and get better over time.

You know, strike while the iron is hot.

Dive right in even if you don't feel ready.

I'll get going now.

-Good morning. -Hi. Let's get ready.

-Can you get me the script? -Okay.

Sir, is it okay if I send a message to our show?

What?

Do you all remember the old gentleman who sent a message

to cheer for his granddaughter recently?

Today, we got a message from his very granddaughter.

"My grandpa does ballet.

To be honest, I wasn't interested at first.

I thought it was strange

to take up something new at 70, not to mention ballet.

The whole family was against the idea

and I thought he'd give up in no time.

But he proved us all wrong.

My grandpa is still doing ballet to this day.

When you want something with all your heart,

you shine brighter than anyone.

My grandpa taught me that.

Grandpa."

Eun-ho.

"I'd love to see you dance on stage.

I'll be waiting.

Keep it up until then, Grandpa."

That was the message from Ms. Sim Eun-ho.

I can't find any words to add.

Let's listen to a song that Ms. Sim requested.

Music, standby.

Go.

When is the audition, by the way?

Tomorrow.

So soon?

I even packed you lunch.

You'd better pass.

I'll do my best.

-Father, let's go. -Okay.

-Mom, see you later. -Okay.

Why didn't you come with me to my morning exercise?

Well, I slept in.

-A young man like you… -Father, I'm 40.

Seong-gwan, isn't the world so wonderful?

All of a sudden?

Here. You left these in your locker.

I thought I lost them. Here they were.

Thanks.

Mr. Sim.

Yes?

Promise me one thing.

Starting today,

text me every 20 minutes on your way home.

I'm okay.

All right. I'll do that.

I'll promise something, too.

Even if you don't remember me,

I'll remember you.

I'll recognize you.

I won't let go of your hand.

As long as you are with me

and recognize me,

I'll teach you ballet anytime.

Thank you, Chae-rok.

-You can do this, right? -Of course.

It's been a while, Mr. Sim.

The audition's tomorrow. Are you ready?

Of course.

Gosh. How could you let things get this bad?

Pardon?

If you'd explained properly,

there wouldn't have been so many people who signed up.

You didn't even inform them of the risk of losing money.

This is a case of financial misselling.

Sir,

I only followed the instructions from headquarters.

Also, you pressured us to sell more.

You ranked us based on our sales

and warned us it'd influence our performance reviews.

You can't put all the blame on me.

Let's wrap things up here.

What do you mean?

Mr. Sim.

I can see that you've been practicing every day.

Right?

I didn't lie, Chae-rok.

I can testify to that.

Let's get going now.

Already? I should practice some more.

We're not going home. Let's go check out the venue.

The venue?

KIM HEUNG-SIK BALLET COMPANY

This feels completely different from the studio.

-This is where the audition will be. -I know.

Since you've only been here once,

finish your practice here and get used to the space.

I rented the place for you so you can relax tomorrow.

Should we get started right away?

The judges will be sitting over here.

You will be dancing…

here.

-Are you ready? -Yes.

Look far away. Open your chest.

There you go.

Shoulders down. Tighten your abs.

A little inward.

You're becoming a proper ballerino.

What?

Your feet are starting to change shape,

and you're no longer bothered by small bruises.

Is that right?

It's just… When my feet hurt,

I think of it as a sign that I worked hard.

That's how many ballet dancers feel, including me.

After a long day of practice,

if my shoes are worn out or falling apart,

I feel relieved.

It's usually hard to see how much progress I'm making.

But when I see my feet

and my worn-out shoes,

I can see it.

It reminds me of the time I spent.

That's why you should practice every single day.

Every single day is precious.

Because I don't have much time left.

That's nonsense.

-Seong-gwan is waiting. Let's go. -Okay.

I'M HOME, CHAE-ROK

-Are you coming, Father? -Yes, I'm coming.

GET SOME REST

I CAN FEEL MY CONDITION PROGRESSING

I NEED TO STAY ALERT

I'LL MAKE SURE TO PASS TOMORROW'S AUDITION

What did I do yesterday?

I practiced for the audition all day.

I also went to check out the audition venue.

What did I have for dinner?

Braised short ribs.

And I went to bed around 10 p.m.

It's a 90 for today's score.

HANGANG BANK SELLS MISMANAGED FUNDS

SAFE FUNDS AT ESTIMATED 90% LOSS

What… is this?

HANGANG BANK SELLS MISMANAGED FUNDS

DEPUTY BRANCH MANAGER PROMOTED THE SALES

You were in charge of the sales?

That's not true.

Dad. This article…

Eun-ho, I'm fine.

Go to work.

SEONG-SAN

The call cannot be connected.

You will be forwarded to voicemail.

KIM HEUNG-SIK BALLET COMPANY

Father, how are you today?

-Father? -What?

-Is something wrong? -No, nothing's wrong.

Seong-gwan, I have to step out for a while.

What? Where are you going?

I won't be long.

I'm okay today. Don't worry.

I LOST ALL MY LIFE SAVINGS!

NULLIFY THE CONTRACT AND COMPENSATE!

HANGANG SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY!

DISHONEST FUNDS DESTROY LIVES

Seong-gwan, where's Mr. Sim?

He stepped out.

I'll try calling him.

He left his phone.

-Welcome. -Hello.

-Thank you. -Bye.

-Have a nice day. -You too.

I LOST ALL MY LIFE SAVINGS!

DISHONEST FUNDS DESTROY LIVES

-Excuse me. -How can I help you?

I'm here to see Sim Seong-san, the deputy branch manager here.

Is he in?

He's away at the moment.

I'm his father,

and I really need to see him.

Could you find a way?

Father!

Seong-san.

Father, what brings you here?

I came to give you this.

You're late every day.

You zone out all the time.

Why did you even quit baseball?

You little brat.

You have no dream or future.

Just what's on your mind?

Hello, Mr. Sim.

My boy, Seong-san, isn't like that.

He was top of his class before he started baseball.

Regardless,

he doesn't deserve to hear that from you.

He's only 16.

He can do and become anything he wants.

Father.

Do you really think I can do and become anything I want?

Of course. You sure can do and become anything you want.

What the teacher said is right.

I have no dream or future.

I have nothing at all.

-So-- -Seong-san.

You have me, your father.

You're the pitcher, and I'm the fielder.

You've allowed a few hits and even a home run.

But it's totally fine.

I'm running around at the back, catching every ball for you.

I'm not going anywhere as long as you're on the mound.

So Seong-san,

let's just not give up.

Okay?

Do you remember what I said?

Even now, I'm still your fielder.

You can throw the ball however you want, Seong-san.

I'll get going now.

-Nice to see you. It's been so long. -Nice to see you, too.

-It's an honor. -Thanks.

It starts in ten minutes. Where's Mr. Sim?

Well…

Can we postpone the audition just 30 minutes?

-What's wrong? -Mr. Sim isn't here yet.

We're going to start on time.

If he doesn't show up, he fails.

Even now, I'm still your fielder.

You can throw the ball however you want, Seong-san.

I looked everywhere for you.

You had me worried.

What's this?

Father came and gave it to me.

Father did?

I wanted a new glove so badly.

But I couldn't even ask him back then.

I told myself,

"I'll wait until I'm in high school."

But you know,

I quit baseball right before entering high school.

It was costing more and more.

I wanted to shut my eyes to everything else

and ask my parents to keep supporting me.

But I couldn't.

I hated seeing Seong-suk and Seong-gwan in hand-me-downs all the time.

I couldn't stand Mom working as a housekeeper.

I was sick of seeing Father covered in dust from the construction site.

I actually wanted to continue playing baseball.

I was even pretty good.

But…

I couldn't do it.

I just couldn't.

Honey.

I finally got one today.

A new glove.

You can do what you want now.

I hate seeing you like this. It's not like you.

You pretend you're okay when you're not.

It makes me feel sorry.

You don't have to do this anymore.

I've got your back.

I'm sorry.

You don't have to say sorry.

You've worked hard, Seong-san.

You hung in there.

You all did an amazing job.

We really enjoyed it.

After much discussion, the judges have decided

to choose the dancer

who suits our gala best.

Mr. Sim Deok-chul, congratulations.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

-Congratulations. -Thank you.

-Great job. -Congratulations.

Thank you.

-Congratulations, Mr. Sim. -Thanks.

You were amazing, Father. If only my camera could capture it all.

Thanks, Seong-gwan. This is just the beginning.

Mr. Sim, let's go practice now.

Okay, let's go.

Now? Again?

DEOK-CHUL: HAE-NAM, I PASSED!

Way to go, Deok-chul.

I'm going to buy a really nice pot.

Mr. Sim has come a long way since the performance meeting.

To be honest, I didn't expect much from him.

Now I understand why you wanted to choose him.

I never said that.

So-ri told me.

She scares me sometimes. She knows me too well.

Come in.

Sir, I'm quitting.

Where's this coming from?

You told me to quit yesterday.

Whether I was aware or not,

it doesn't change the fact that I sold mismanaged funds.

I'm partly responsible for the situation.

But sir,

don't think you can sort things out just by firing me.

Let me tell you.

-Whether to the audit team -Hey.

-or to the investigators, -Sim Seong-san!

I'll tell the whole truth as it is.

Goodbye.

Hey! Stop right there!

Sim Seong-san!

Mr. Sim.

You didn't have to follow me out.

Don't get on his bad side. Go back inside.

I mean…

I'm okay. Go on inside.

Come on. Go ahead.

I'll call you.

We have a new dancer joining our annual performance.

Please welcome Mr. Sim Deok-chul, who passed the audition.

Please introduce yourself.

I have a long way to go, but I'll work hard.

He'll be participating in the classes and practices starting today.

There will be a practice show before the real show. Be prepared.

Warm up for 30 minutes before we start.

-Okay. -Okay.

-Please get ready. -Okay.

Let's warm up.

Mr. Sim, will you be all right without me?

I'll do my best.

No filming is allowed, so Seong-gwan can't be here, either.

Don't worry, Chae-rok.

Call me if anything happens.

-Maybe I should tell Mr. Ki-- -No, you don't have to.

I'll try my best.

Okay.

Yang Ho-beom?

Yang Ho-beom was there?

Can you believe that?

I wonder what the coach told him.

"Coach"? Who do you mean? My father?

I mean, you didn't hear that.

Hey.

Maybe I should tell you.

Mr. Lee went to see Ho-beom.

I told him it was that jerk who hurt your leg.

-Why did you-- -Why else?

I knew you didn't tell him.

He's responsible, after all.

Mr. Lee did apologize to me, though.

I used to hate him,

but it did make me feel better when he apologized to me.

-Se-jong. -Forget it. Don't say anything more.

You're treating me.

Hello.

Are you here to see Mr. Sim?

He's practicing at the ballet company.

I came to thank you.

We found him thanks to you.

Don't mention it.

Also…

I'll watch over him.

Yes.

Thank you.

How are you doing, Mr. Sim?

Well…

With so many other dancers around here at the ballet company,

I'm a bit nervous, to be honest.

You'll get used to it soon.

By the way, are there any pieces you'd like to do?

I'd like to do Swan Lake.

It's my favorite.

Would you like to do a solo?

I'm afraid I'm not good enough to dance with someone else

on stage.

Let's give it some more thought.

Sure. Thank you.

He wants to do a solo?

Yes. Do you think he can pull it off?

I think he can, considering how well he did at the audition.

But something feels…

I know. I've only seen him dance with Chae-rok, so…

There you go.

Exactly.

Watching Chae-rok and Mr. Sim, I learned something new.

How two people can have each other's back.

I was never able to do that.

I always put myself first.

When I got injured and had to retire,

I was concerned about no one but myself.

Not even you.

I thought it had nothing to do with you so you'd be fine.

But I was wrong.

It was hard for you as well.

Now I know

that I couldn't have done any of it alone.

So I'd like to thank you

for sticking with me.

You've come a long way.

I have.

What is this about?

What is it you want to tell us?

-Why don't you do a duet with Mr. Sim? -What?

Mr. Ki, what are you talking about?

I think it'd be better if you do a duet with Chae-rok

than a solo performance.

Luckily, Chae-rok's competition is after the show.

-Sounds good to me. -I'm against it.

It'll distract Chae-rok from his competition.

I'm grateful that he's been teaching me all this time.

I don't want to put any more burden on him.

-I can do it alone. -No, Mr. Sim--

It's not that I don't think you can pull off a solo.

As a coach,

I thought about what kind of dance would suit you best

and who would be able to help you dance in your own way.

And I've come to this conclusion.

You've worked hard with Chae-rok for the past year.

I'd like for you to show that on stage.

That's the ballet you've been doing.

Let's do it, Mr. Sim.

You don't have to do this for me.

-I'm doing this for myself. -Still…

Just dance with me.

All right.

Let's do it.

And then you move past him.

Mr. Sim, you'll do the same thing but on the other side.

And then…

One, two, Arabesque.

LUNAR NEW YEAR'S DAY

And take his hand.

-Hello? -Hello, sir.

I'm calling from the nursing home.

Yes, hello.

Have you made up your mind yet?

Would you like to be admitted?

No.

I don't think it's time yet.

There's something I must do first.

BALLET GALA, NAVILLERA

This looks amazing.

-Take mine, too. -What?

Invite your whole family.

Keep it, Chae-rok.

I don't need it.

You sure do.

-You should've passed the ball. -Pass!

-Pass. -Hey!

What brings you all the way here?

I'm doing a show.

What about the competition?

It's after the show.

I see.

BALLET GALA, NAVILLERA

You can come if you want.

But don't bother if you're busy.

Please do come.

All right.

-I'll get going. -Already?

Hold on a second.

I heard it costs a lot preparing for competitions.

If only your mom was here to help you.

She would've been very happy.

I'm sorry, Chae-rok,

for not being there for you

all these years.

-I-- -Be there for me from now on.

Okay. I will.

I promise.

I appreciate it.

These are invitations.

-What's this? -Oh, my.

"Navillera." Like a butterfly?

BALLET GALA, NAVILLERA

Excuse me.

BALLET GALA, NAVILLERA

Honey.

BALLET GALA, NAVILLERA

Don't worry. He'll do well.

BALLET GALA, NAVILLERA

BALLET GALA, NAVILLERA

So, he didn't give up.

Left arm up. Shoulders down.

Turn your body a little.

Raise your left arm higher.

Eyes straight ahead.

Let's take a break.

The show's tomorrow, Mr. Sim.

I've come this far thanks to you.

I've come this far thanks to you as well.

I didn't do anything.

Chae-rok.

I've struggled the whole time,

and I will tomorrow as well.

I'll still do my best,

but no one can deny that I fall short.

Mr. Sim.

Just focus on what you've been practicing with me.

Then, you can do it.

Okay.

CHAE-ROK: CAN WE MEET?

What's this?

Take it.

It's from my father.

I heard you did a tryout.

It's none of your business.

I hope you do well.

See you around, Ho-beom.

BALLET GALA, NAVILLERA

CHAE-ROK I'M ALMOST HOME

SIM DEOK-CHUL CHOI HAE-NAM

Stop the car for a second.

Sir, where do you live?

Where do I live?

Yes. Do you remember your address?

What's going on?

What are these officers doing here?

Hello, ma'am.

Goodness. Deok-chul.

What are you doing here? Why are the officers here?

I can't find my way home.

This is where I live.

Sir, are you okay now?

Do you recognize me?

Of course, I do. You're Hae-nam.

You must've been surprised. It's cold. Please take him inside.

Thank you, officers. Let's go inside.

-Good night. -Bye.

I couldn't bring myself to tell you.

I know I should have.

But I didn't know how to break it to you.

I'm…

a little unwell, Hae-nam.

Soon…

it'll get even worse.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Hae-nam.

It's okay.

PERFORMANCE

Is he still asleep?

Deok-chul, wake up.

It's your show today.

Deok-chul.

Yes?

Goodness. Wake up.

Who are you?

Who are you?

Subtitle translation by: Min-jin Kim

NAVILLERA

Honey, do you remember what you used to do?

I used to do ballet here.

But I don't know how I did it.

My heart breaks for him too.

But how will he perform when he can't even remember?

I ruined everything.

I've put a spell on these, so don't worry about a thing.

Mr. Sim.

Lee Chae-rok. My ballet instructor.

You can do it, Mr. Sim.
