All language subtitles for Do You Like Brahms E03

I'll pay for these separately.

I'm quite happy with it.

Everyone liked it.

No, not what others think.

Did you like it?

Song-ah.

An autograph?

My autograph?

I'm your fan.

Why? You said I played badly today.

I didn't say you played badly.

It was great today too,
but your previous performance

was a little better.

But you did great today too. I mean it.

Did you buy this because you became
a fan after today's performance?

Actually…

Yes, you're right. So please autograph it.

I'm your fan.

Okay. Of course, since you're a fan.

May I borrow a marker?

Please excuse me for a second.

MISSED CALL
MIN-SEONG

MESSAGE FROM MIN-SEONG

Song-ah, are you home?

I want to grab a drink.

Song-ah, they don't have a marker here.
May I take it and give it to you later?

Can I sit here?

Yes. Of course.

I went to a bookstore in the afternoon,
then sat in the sun at the palace.

At the palace?

Why not? Gyeonghuigung is great.

Gosh, you're so old-fashioned.

I can't deny that.

Everything has changed
each time I return to Seoul.

But the palaces are
in the same place, looking the same.

That's why they stay in my memory.

I play modern music,

but I still like music written
by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, and such.

Things that survived

for a long time without changing.

People like you
appreciated them for a long time,

and that's why they survived to this day.

People like me…

Is that so?

You know,

this is going to sound random,

but do you know what pops into my mind

as soon as I heard the word "competition"?

I'm not sure.

How you practiced?

Or the award ceremony?

Silence.

Like the one that fell just now.

The quietness.

I think of that first
when I heard the word "competition."

This was way back

when I first competed overseas.

All of the contestants
stayed in the same hotel.

I arrived the day before
and went to sleep first.

But I woke up early in the morning
because of loud piano sounds.

They put pianos in more than 30 rooms
for each contestant,

and they all began to practice
in the early morning.

At first, I couldn't get used to it.

But after the first preliminary,

the piano sound became quieter.

People who got dropped

went home.

After that day,

I could only hear about a dozen pianos.

A few days later,
after the second preliminary,

that dropped to six pianos.

The last day, after the final performance,

I had to get the prize and go to a party.

I went, then returned late to the hotel.

It was silent.

I heard pianos in this room and that room
right until that morning.

But there was absolutely no sound.

The silence of that night…

became an intense, unforgettable memory.

Did you get home safely?

I'm almost home.
I had dinner with Song-ah.

Come to the philharmonic concert
with me on Saturday.

Hyeon-ho will be playing
as a guest member.

Okay.

MIN-SEONG

Min-seong, sorry about yesterday.
Did you eat with CEO Yoon?

Do you want to meet up today?

Should I meet you in front of the school?

Yes.

Collapsed?
The accompanist for the philharmonic?

Yes.

So they're asking Joon-young to fill in?

Yes.

What should I do?

You should ask him anyway.

He'd feel burdened if I asked.

Yes, I understand.

Anyway, collapsed from overworking?

I feel really bad.

I heard that pianist performs
around 120 times a year.

I heard Mr. Park performs
as often as that.

Joon-young probably performs
only about 80 to 90 times these days.

Even if he does,
that's once every three to four days.

He has to be on a plane in between.

He rehearses right after arriving,
performs, goes to the VIP reception,

does the album signing, goes to sleep,

wakes up, hits the road again
while doing interviews,

and practicing new pieces in between.
How can they not collapse?

But still, they're worth it
for a rookie pianist

who barely made his name known
after a competition.

-It's his job to keep in shape.
-Isn't Mr. Park taking the year off?

He said he won't play for a year.

Well, that's true.

But he'll do it
if the chief director asks.

He's taking the year off,

but he'll play for our 15th anniversary
at the end of the year.

Did you talk to him?

He wouldn't pick up his phone.

Right, Song-ah.

Is he coming to practice today?

No.

Geez, where could he be?

This isn't good.
We're running out of time.

Song-ah.

Yes?

I went to a bookstore in the afternoon,

then sat in the sun at the palace.

Why not? Gyeonghuigung is great.

Yes.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I made you run around.

I left my phone at home.

It's all right.

Seung Ji-min is playing instead?

Yes, he's doing a tour in Japan,

but he's available that day,
so he'll drop by for the concert.

That's amazing.
I should buy a ticket first.

That's great.

It wasn't sold out yet,
but it'll be once the news gets out.

No way. It's sold out.

You're lying.

I'm serious.

Gosh, I guess the word got around already.

That's Seung Ji-min.

I was a bit disappointed
that Mr. Park didn't want to play,

but this is even better.

Joon-young would have sold out
those leftover tickets.

Mr. Park would have played
if he wasn't on sabbatical.

No, that's not the reason.
He hasn't played this piece before.

What?

What is it?

"Symphony No. 1" by Brahms.

"Träumerei."

The other day, I heard you
play the song here by chance.

There are moments
when you suddenly realize something.

Brahms,

and Clara.

Do you like Brahms?

No.

I do not like Brahms.

The theme

must have been "unattainable love."

No.

KYUNGHOO TO HOLD CHARITY CONCERT

It was "friendship between three people."

I'm home.

-You're home.
-Hi.

What's this?

Hey.

My mom's friend gave me two tickets
to the philharmonic concert tomorrow.

Do you have time?

Do you have to be at the lab tomorrow?

I don't think I can go.

Hey, let's talk later.

Min-seong, are you ill?

You don't sound very well.

I'm sorry.

Wait…

CEO Yoon!

Let's go to the philharmonic concert
tomorrow at Seoul Arts Center.

I saw Park Joon-young on the subway.

-Park Joon-young?
-Yes.

He's in Korea?

Then, if Seung Ji-min
couldn't perform today,

Park Joon-young would have.

You might be right.

Joon-young.
Why did you turn down the offer today?

Jeong-gyeong…

Hello.

Don't do that.

Why not?

It's disrespectful to Ji-min.

Don't you care if people
compare you and Seung Ji-min?

I don't mind.

But I do.

I said I don't.

Is he busy?
He won't even pick up the phone.

I'm sorry. Coming through.

Thank you.

Hello.

Song-ah.

Hello.

Thank you.

I guess your party is running late.

Yes, I guess so.

Jeong-gyeong!

Hey, Song-ah.

-Hello.
-Hello.

-Great job.
-Thanks.

Hello.

-Hey.
-You're here.

Mr. Seung.

Joon-young.

My goodness.

How long has it been since we met?
How have you been?

Yes, you two.

You two don't have to play today.
You may go home.

I can't believe Dong-yoon's workshop
is on the second floor of this building.

-He eats and sleeps at this workshop too.
-I see.

Anyway, where did he go?
He didn't even turn the lights off.

I wanted to see him.

I'll call him one more time.

Okay.

I'm hungry.

CEO Yoon won't pick up.

CEO YOON

Why do you call him "CEO Yoon"?

Pardon?

You don't call him "Dong-yoon,"
but "CEO Yoon."

Does everyone call him that?

I guess they aren't that close.

No, we're very close.

Dong-yoon is technically a CEO.

You're right.

I thought I should call him CEO Yoon, too,
if everyone else did.

Let me go wash my hands.

-I'll walk you out to the main street.
-No, it's okay.

-Min-seong.
-Yes?

About two days ago,

how we spent the night together.

Hey, learn how to beat around the bush.
Anyway, that. What about it?

Don't say anything to Song-ah.

Why would I tell her that?

She always gets worried and nags
that we drink too much.

Exactly.

A friend. A guy friend.

I mean, just a friend who's a man.

-Why do you call him "CEO Yoon"?
-Pardon?

You don't call him "Dong-yoon,"
but "CEO Yoon."

-Anyway, don't say anything to Song-ah--
-Okay. I'll get going.

Joon-young.

The door wouldn't open.

Oh, right.

I'm sorry. I think I was trying

to open it the other way.

I see. Okay.

I'm going to go upstairs for a moment.

Song-ah, actually…

Dong-yoon is with a guest.

I see.

I just went up, then came back down
when I saw that he was with a guest.

A guest.

That's why he's not picking up.

Thanks.

-You already ordered?
-Yes.

-Hey, Song-ah.
-Yes?

You just got a call.

Yoon Dong-yoon!

Hey, I'm a little late.

You're here.

Hey, why didn't you pick up her call?

Right.

I was with a client.

Wait, but Song-ah just went upstairs
to see if you were in.

Right.

You came upstairs?

Yes, but--

I went to the toilet,
then went up to see if you were there,

but it looked like you were with a guest,
so I came back down.

I see.

You came upstairs?

Yes.

Thank you.

Thank you.

-Let's eat.
-Try this.

What's on your mind?

What?
No, I was just listening to the music.

I love this piece.

"Moonlight Sonata" by Beethoven.

Oh, this is my favorite.

Yes. I like this one too.

What?

Like what?

What?

Oh, the piece that's playing right now.

"Violin Sonata No.1" by Brahms.

I see.

Violinists all seem to love this piece.

You too, right?

Well…

I wouldn't say I like it…

because of the background story.

Why not? What's the story?

After Schumann died,
Clara brought up the kids alone.

But her youngest son fell awfully ill,
then ended up dying.

When Brahms heard the news,

he wrote a short melody

and sent it to her.

That's Part Two
of "Violin Sonata No.1" by Brahms.

It was the way Brahms comforted her

by using music, not words.

But wouldn't it have been better
to visit and comfort her in person?

If Brahms knew how to take initiative,
he would've married Clara by then.

Figures.

I guess it was easier for Brahms
to use music than words.

Like Joon-young.

Me?

What about me?

But…

could we use music to comfort someone?

Like Hyeon-ho said,

when you're really heartbroken and sad,

a word of comfort would be more helpful.

But shouldn't we…

continue to believe

that music can be used to comfort someone?

Because…

we chose to play music.

-Are you going home too?
-Yes.

Get in.

Song-ah, see you.

-Yes, right. Go home safely.
-Sure.

Song-ah, you should pick up your violin.

You're right. Okay.

I'll get going.
Song-ah, see you next time.

Oh, okay. Get home safely.

Why didn't you call a taxi?

I'm going to walk.

You should go inside.

-Shall we?
-Okay.

All right.

Wow.

-Let me wipe this for you.
-Okay.

Right, did you meet Min-seong
two days ago?

Min-seong?

Yes.

She called me wanting to grab a drink,

but I was working overtime,
so I told her to call you.

Yes. That day.

-Yes.
-I knew it.

It looks like she's ill.

Really?

You two drank a lot that day, didn't you?

So she's awfully hung over, right?

No. We didn't drink that much.

Wipe it already and give it to me.

What? Okay.

Thanks.

Is everything okay with your stay?

I'm doing well, thanks to your care.

Thank you.

Goodness, I'm sick of you saying thanks.

Do you have any special plans
as you take some time off?

No, not in particular.
I want to return to school and graduate.

I see.

Are you seeing anyone?

No, I'm not.

I see.

Then is there someone you like?

TOMORROW'S SONG-AH'S BIRTHDAY!
LET'S MEET UP AT NIGHT

Hey.

Hello.

Are you going somewhere?

-Yes. Have you been somewhere?
-Yes.

I'm sorry. One second.

WHAT TIME?

AROUND THE TIME SHE GETS OFF WORK

Sorry. My friend asked me something.

I see.

-Was it Dong-yoon?
-What?

No. Why are you bringing him up?

Oh, he's the only one I know
out of your friends.

I have many friends other than him.

But to be honest, he's my closest friend.

I took lessons from him
before my college audition.

I see.

So, did you have lunch?

I did. What about you?

Oh, I got this.

Then I'll see you next time.

Okay. See you next time.

So Kyunghoo Card wants to hold

a talk concert with Joon-young?

-At Hankook Arts Middle School?
-Yes.

They should just ask him
to come and perform.

Why a talk concert?

Well,

the children of our customers
have already seen him perform a few times,

and these days,

his concert tickets are easier to obtain
than they were a few years ago.

Even if we offer a private concert,

they wouldn't find it very appealing.

Seung Ji-min is the big shot right now.

That's true.

Joon-young couldn't even afford a piano,

so the Chief Director sent him
the one her daughter used to play.

I mean, he has a lot to talk about.

The piano in the sitting room?

Yes, that one.

That's where his competitive power is.

Seung Ji-min is better than him
in everything else in reality.

Most people are worried
because they don't have anything to sell,

but he can just sell his life.

Isn't that awesome?

His dad always caused trouble with money,

and he paid off his family's debt
with the prize money from competitions.

Then he overcame his past--

But his past…

isn't just in the past.

It's still ongoing. That's the problem.

Tell them we can't do it.

He just has to go there and talk--

Park Joon-young is on his sabbatical.

He will not make
a public appearance for a year

other than the 15th-anniversary concert
of our foundation.

This is the list of judges.

Here. I wouldn't know anything
even if I take a look at it.

I'm sure you picked the right people.

But exclude Jeong-gyeong.

She doesn't have enough experience
to be a judge.

I understand she was a prodigy,
but that's all in the past.

That I know for sure.

And I know you're also aware of that.

Yet you included Jeong-gyeong's name
and submitted it to me.

That means you wanted to hear my opinion.

Now that Jeong-gyeong is back,
you wanted to find out

how the foundation
should treat her from now on.

You wanted to suss me out, didn't you?

I'm sorry.

Ms. Cha.

You've worked with me for 15 years.
You still don't know how I am?

If you want to know what I think,
just ask me directly.

Don't beat around the bush.

I'm sorry.

By the way, Mr. Han Hyeon-ho
and Ms. Lee Jeong-gyeong…

You need to address her
as Director Lee Jeong-gyeong.

She's the director of the foundation.

Right.

You know, about Director Lee,
the director of the foundation.

Good.

They've been together for a long time.
Think they'll get married?

What? My goodness.

They'll have to decide within a year.

What?

They'll have to decide?
So they may not get married?

That's right.

They will have to decide.

Come to a conclusion.

Marriage is reality.

They were in school all this time,
so they could just enjoy themselves.

But they've finished their studies.
I bet they'll break up.

But you know, even if they break up,

I don't care at all as long as they do it
after the year-end show.

Gosh, you're so mean.

What? Hey, look.

If they break up before the show,
what will happen to the show?

Even if that happens,
Mr. Han can just drop out of the show.

Gosh.

No, you're wrong.

Hey, listen carefully.

Joon-young has to perform in that show.

The three of them are best friends.

So if those two break up,
Joon-young will have to perform with…

What's wrong with my finger?
He has to play with one of the two.

Will he be comfortable with that?
It'll be awkward for all three of them.

Gosh, this is why you should never date
someone you work with.

Then is there someone you like?

We're well aware
that you're on sabbatical.

But this foundation, I mean,

you're performing
for our foundation's 15-year anniversary.

So I'd truly appreciate it

if you could consider this
as another exception.

Well, I kept pestering you to meet up.
I'm sorry.

I feel so bad asking you for this favor.

I'll cut to the chase.

You know, the chief director…

If you agree to do it,

she'll be elated
although she probably won't show it.

She is the group's former chairwoman

and her son-in-law
is the current chairman,

but she still has to meet
with the chairman

and each subsidiary's CEO

to ask for favors
regarding the budget every year.

That's definitely not an easy task.

I mean it.

But what if

you get into the orchestra in the US
and Jeong-gyeong becomes a professor here?

If that happens,

I'll catch a plane to see her
whenever I can.

My goodness.

Are you saying you can spend
your money frivolously

because your girlfriend is rich?

That's not what I meant.

Right, I know.

Young-in. You know my parents spent
all their money so I could play the cello.

I have to make a lot of money.

The orchestra in the US pays very well.

Okay, I heard you.

I hope you get in

so that you can spend all your money
on your flights.

What? Come on.

Oh, that reminds me.

Domestic flights in the US
are always delayed.

It drove me crazy
when I used to audition a lot.

Joon-young's show in New York last month.
That's why I couldn't make it.

Yes, I heard you missed it.
I'm glad Jeong-gyeong made it at least.

Right?

-Jeong-gyeong?
-Yes.

Jeong-gyeong went to Joon-young's recital.

Really?

Hey, it's me.

If I get you this deal,

you'd better pay me back.

You have to.

Joon-young said he saw her in New York.
That's what he told me.

Then you saw her today
for the first time in a while.

-Right.
-Did Joon-young say that?

Did he say I didn't go to his recital?

Oh, right.

Excuse me. Could we see the dessert menu?

It's time for the last piece.
It's a piece of consolation for Clara.

Part Two of Brahms' "Violin Sonata No.1."

I hope you all enjoy it
and have a restful night.

PIANIST PARK JOON-YOUNG

PIANIST PARK JOON-YOUNG CLEARED
FATHER'S DEBT WITH HIS PRIZE MONEY

DESPITE MY TOUGH CHILDHOOD

DESPITE MY TOUGH CHILDHOOD,
MUSIC ALWAYS CONSOLED ME

Can we really

receive consolation through music?

I said…

we should believe so.

But have I…

ever received consolation through music?

I can't recall.

I only remember…

ADMISSION RESULTS FOR 2014
CHAE SONG-AH: NOT ACCEPTED

…the moments

when I was heartbroken.

ADMISSION RESULTS FOR 2015
CHAE SONG-AH: NOT ACCEPTED

The chairman left them here.

I tried to take care of them, but…

It's okay.

It's natural for flowers and even people
to bloom and wither with time.

There's no way anyone can stop it.

He always goes away for work
around this time each year.

Oh, right.
A young man brought that this morning.

I asked his name, but he wouldn't tell me.

Did Joon-young tell you
that he was coming here?

No, he didn't.

He's not the type to say stuff like that.

Then what type of person is he?

Rather than words, he's more comfortable
expressing himself through music.

Right.

MESSAGE FROM CEO YOON

I'll stop by this evening.

My gosh. Okay, then I'll see you later.

Song-ah, can you give me a hand?

Sure.

One, two, three, four.

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday

C as in "chives."

I'm Chae Song-ah

Happy birthday to you

Thank you.

My gosh, how did you know?

We know, of course.

Happy birthday, Song-ah.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

LEE JEONG-GYEONG

HYEON-HO WILL BE PLAYING
AS A GUEST MEMBER

OKAY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY…

You see, that piano…

I wanted to send it to Berlin,

but he refused,
so I just brought it back home.

Jeong-gyeong transferred to our school
from the Juilliard Pre-College Division.

She's a violin major.

She moved to the US when she was six,
so she may not know much about Korea.

I hope you guys all help her out.

It's Brahms.

Can you play another piece?

Which one?

Anything.

TRÄUMEREI

Why…

this piece?

My name…

was derived from this piece, Kinderscenen.

It was my mom's favorite.

She played it for me often.

Next time…

I'll play it for you again next time.

So don't cry.

TO JEONG-GYEONG
JULY 15, 2015

TO JEONG-GYEONG
JULY 15, 2019

Listen carefully

because I'll never play this again.

Happy birthday, Song-ah!

Thank you.

You're not leaving?
You said you have plans.

-Oh, I've got some time to kill.
-All right then. I'm off.

Ms. Cha.

May I practice for a few minutes
in the rehearsal room?

Of course.

Thank you. I'll see you tomorrow.

Have fun.

-Thank you. Have a good evening.
-Bye.

I'll practice for just ten minutes.

Hey, Min-seong. Where are you?

What? Now?

-Hi, Min-seong!
-Hey.

I guess you got here early.

Happy birthday, Song-ah.

Thanks. Why did you get here so early?

Well… the thing is…

What is it?

I don't think I can come to your party.

Really?

Why can't you come?

CEO Yoon said he'd be there.

I know. I'm sorry.

I stopped by to give you a present.

Ta-da.

Thanks, Min-seong.

Gosh.

Min-seong.

Are you crying?

Well…

I guess I am. Why am I crying?

What's wrong? Did something happen?

-Song-ah.
-Yes.

The truth is

Dong-yoon and I…

got drunk and crossed the line.

It was a mistake.

Purely a mistake.

But what can I do? What's done is done.

It's not like I want
something out of this,

but Dong-yoon called it a disaster.

Dating me in the past,
sleeping with me this time, everything.

It was probably a drunken rambling.

Don't take it to heart.

No.

The day he said it, we didn't drink.

The day I slept with him,

we just parted ways
because we were both so out of it.

The day you invited me
to the philharmonic concert,

I went to his studio in the evening.

I wanted to sort things out with him
and go to Seoul Arts Center

to see you and tell you everything.

But when Dong-yoon said

we should just act
as if nothing had happened,

my mind went blank.

That's why I couldn't tell you.

Yoon Dong-yoon, you mean jerk!

How could you not know how I feel?

Right?
Dong-yoon is a total jerk, isn't he?

He is, right?

Yes.

He is a jerk for not knowing how you feel.

IS EVERYTHING OKAY WITH MIN-SEONG?

IS MIN-SEONG REALLY NOT COMING?

MIN-SEONG: SORRY, SOMETHING CAME UP

CEO YOON: I'LL BE LATE. SORRY!
A CUSTOMER SHOWED UP

The day you invited me
to the philharmonic concert,

I went to his studio in the evening.

I'll go upstairs and check.

He's not answering his phone.

Song-ah.

Yes?

Actually…

Dong-yoon is with a guest.

Yes?

I left my instrument behind.

Oh, I see.

A string snapped
even though I didn't touch it.

Yes.

I know.

Can I ask you something?

That night,

when we went to Intermission
after the philharmonic concert.

You didn't let me
into the hallway on purpose.

Right?

Who was the guest that visited Dong-yoon

that night?

Song-ah.

You don't have to answer.

I just…

feel like a total idiot right now.

I made a fool of myself

in front of you.

I'm sorry.

You don't need to apologize.

Just…

don't do that next time.

I never asked you to cover my eyes.

Becoming a fool…

is worse than getting hurt.

So,

if something like that happens again…

just let it be.

I'll pack up and leave soon.

"Moonlight Sonata."

Can you not play it?

I like that piece,

so I don't want to hear it right now.

Can you please stop…

I said…

we could receive consolation through music

but couldn't remember
when or if I had actually received

consolation through music.

SONG-AH'S BIRTHDAY

However,

I realized something that night…

because of this person who offered music

instead of words.

Do you…

want to be friends?

No.

We have to become friends.

Because…

I'm hugging you as a friend right now.

Someday in the future,

if I'm in another situation
where I need consolation…

I will remember…

this very moment.

Therefore,

even if I get hurt over and over again,

I will not give up on love.

I realized it that night.

I'll take you there.

Are you friends with Song-ah?

-Actually…
-We're friends.

Incredible. You're friends with him?

Just think of yourself.
Don't worry about others.

Joon-young. I'm going to get married.

Are you sure you don't play Brahms?

It seems like you can't.
Brahms reminds me of you.

What's between you and Jeong-gyeong?

-We need to talk.
-I don't like how you act these days.

Song-ah. How about dinner tonight?

I suddenly thought,

"I should go and see Song-ah."

"If I meet her,

I'll feel better."

Song-ah. Should we…
