All language subtitles for The Penthouse War in Life S02E02

ALL CHARACTERS, PLACES, EVENTS,
ORGANIZATIONS AND SETTINGS ARE FICTITIOUS

Are you on a shaky bridge or something?
Why are your legs trembling?

I'm not trembling.

Tomorrow is your engagement ceremony.

How are the preparations going?

Do you need any help?

No, but I appreciate the thought.

Oh, Unit 4502 has been sold.

What? Really?

I'm finally going to have a new neighbor?

That's wonderful.

Who's the new resident?

I know Oh Yun-hui was found innocent,

but it's still a bit eerie.
Maybe they don't know about it.

Someone introduced him to Chairman Joo.

A CEO of a biotech company in the US.

Then is he an American?

Or a Korean-American?

He's Korean.

His company is called JohnBIO.

My goodness, JohnBIO?

Our apartment prices are going to go up!

Wait, you've heard of JohnBIO?

Their male vitality product became a hit.

Gyu-jin is an avid user,

and it's definitely effective.

You know very well that I'm all alone.

Are you making fun of me?
Are you teasing me?

You should call it a day.

Okay. Shall we?

Tomorrow is my engagement ceremony,
so I'm a little out of it.

Thank you for coming.

You must be pretty nervous
for your 20th debut anniversary concert.

Your voice even cracked.

My throat must have been a little dry.

-You won't report on that, will you?
-Of course not.

Right.

Did you prepare anything special
for this concert?

The world of music has been
waiting for your new challenge.

You won't be disappointed.

If that's all…

-Mr. Do.
-Yes.

Don't you dare write anything absurd.

Let's try again from that part.

You can't sing high F in this condition.

You should stop now.
Tomorrow is your engagement ceremony.

My concert is more important
than my engagement.

You know that this is
the most important concert of my life.

I can do this.
Let's begin. Just the last part.

JOO DAN-TAE AND CHEON SEO-JIN

Well…

How have you all been?

Were you in the middle of something?

Why do you look so surprised?
Am I not allowed to come here?

Oh, let me introduce you to my wife.

Oh Yun-hui.

What?

It's been a while.

Congratulations, Seo-jin.

Your wife?

Am I hearing things?

Are you saying you two are married?

Wait. Dr. Ha, your wife is Oh Yun-hui?

You two are… Man.

What kind of shocking news is this?

How did you end up with Yun-hui?

Tell me about it.

Of all the women out there, why did he
get involved with a murder suspect?

-Ma-ri.
-Yes?

You're still a good talker.

-Right.
-But that's enough talking.

You shouldn't refuse to accept
something that was decided by the law.

That's not good manners.

So? Where is Ro-na?

Isn't she with you?

You picked the perfect dress.
It looks great on you.

I don't recall
inviting you to my engagement ceremony.

Don't get us wrong.

We came to the hotel on business.

Still,

it's so nice to see you like this.

Dr. Ha, I nearly didn't recognize you.

Hold on.

Didn't you go to the US as a researcher?

Oh, that.
It seemed I wasn't cut out to be a doctor.

I began a small business.

A business?

Sounds like an even worse fit for you.

I hope you two weren't dating
while you both lived in Hera Palace.

Goodness, I wouldn't.

I wouldn't do anything of that sort.

I met her by chance in the US.

Dr. Ha.

I don't think this is very polite of you.

You came here on purpose
to turn our wonderful day into a mess, no?

I really just stopped while passing by.

Well. If I caused any disturbance,
I'm sorry.

See you around.

Congrats, Eun-byeol.
You now have a stepmother too.

And she's a very famous woman
who was all over the news.

Don't look at me like that.

I'm suddenly liking you a lot more.

Don't you feel much closer to me now?

We have something in common.

Eun-byeol! Where are you going, Eun-byeol?

You murderer.

How dare you show up? You have no shame!

-Joo Seok-gyeong!
-I don't believe that you're innocent.

Ms. Yang couldn't have killed my mom.

You killed her.

She was so nice to you.

Why did you kill her? Why?

It seemed like everyone already forgot
about Su-ryeon,

so I was about to feel disappointed.

It's nice to see that
you still remember your mom, Seok-gyeong.

Let's go.

Do you think you can fool me?

You murderer. You're a devil!

That girl is feisty.

That's scary.

How did she change that drastically?

How?

I thought

seven billion won of alimony was
way too much for you.

What more do you want from her
that you showed up

with a dramatic helicopter entrance
in expensive clothes that don't suit you?

If the best thing you could think of was
showing up with Oh Yun-hui

to rub Seo-jin the wrong way,
I'm deeply disappointed.

That was good for your final effort,
but it ends here.

If you ever lurk around us
one more time, I'll--

Let go!

-Hey. Let's go.
-Okay.

-Are you all right?
-Of course.

What's going on?

He should have been fish food by now.
Why is he still alive?

I was told that they took care of him.

You idiot!

Find out if Ha Yun-cheol and Oh Yun-hui
are actually married.

And report back on all she did
for the last three months.

Do you like it?

We couldn't go too far
because of your upcoming concert,

but once it ends,

let's visit your favorite place in Italy
for a few weeks. Okay?

You see.

The news of our engagement
already got out,

so there's no reason to postpone
the merger of our companies.

I'll hire a merger and acquisition expert
and create a team within next week--

Why are you in such a rush?

My schedule is already full with concerts.
Isn't that why we're engaged, not married?

-Is he on your mind?
-Who is?

You've been thinking
about Ha Yun-cheol since earlier.

That's not true.

I know you.

I'm doing my best to make you feel better,
but you're thinking about something else.

Our engagement ceremony was ruined

in front of everyone from Hera Palace
and all of our VIP guests.

I don't know what those two are up to.

Maybe Oh Yun-hui

got in touch with Logan Lee in the US.

She must have gotten
Yun-cheol involved to get her revenge.

He couldn't have helped her.

Logan Lee is currently
under house arrest around the clock.

I've been contacting his father regularly.

If Logan isn't involved,

then did they really get married or what?

Inconceivable.

Wasn't she his first love?

Two losers must have felt sorry
for each other.

He wouldn't easily marry anyone
at the very least for Eun-byeol's sake.

And what business?

The land in Myeong-dong got sold,
so I sent him ten billion won.

Ten billion? When was this?

A year ago.

He wouldn't give up on his practice.
He doesn't have the boldness or ambition

to start a business.

We got engaged today.

How long are you going to talk about him?

Can't you just leave it to me?

Did I ever
do anything to fail to earn your trust?

I'm sorry

I screamed at you.

I guess I got too concerned
because of Eun-byeol.

Ha Yun-cheol and Oh Yun-hui.

They have nothing to do with me now.

I won't have to see them again.

Are you all right?

Ma-ri, what is it?

Ms. Cheon, this is huge.

The one who moved into Unit 4502 is
Oh Yun-hui.

It's Dr. Ha and Oh Yun-hui!

What are you talking about?

That's…

Let's talk again later.

-Oh Yun-hui is back.
-What?

-She came back to Hera Palace.
-What are you talking about?

The one who bought Unit 4502 is
Ha Yun-cheol!

Ha Yun-cheol?

How could he have bought…

Wait, he's with JohnBIO?

That's impossible.

Why didn't you even check who bought it?

How could you approve their purchase?

I had no idea because he signed
under his corporate name.

You should have checked more thoroughly!

I thought you had an eye on Yun-hui.

You never considered the chance
that they might run into each other?

And now I have to check
your ex-husband's whereabouts?

Is this my fault too?

This proves your incompetence!

Just admit the truth.

If you're that competent,
why didn't you send him to the boonies

from where he could never return?

Did you forget how I kicked Yun-hui
out of Hera Palace?

Do you know what I had to do
to get rid of her?

But she came back

because of you.

If you had dealt with Ms. Yang better,
Yun-hui wouldn't have been freed!

That's all in the past.

And what can she do anyway?
We confiscated her house and her assets!

The law says she's innocent,

but she will forever be branded
as a murderer.

Yun-cheol is the CEO of JohnBIO!

And Yun-hui is now Yun-cheol's wife.

I underestimated her.

I need to go.

What can you do right now anyway?

It wasn't easy for us to find time
to come on this trip.

Do you have to ruin our precious time
because of them?

It's already ruined.

I can't trust you from now on.

I'll take care of everything myself.

Damn it!

Speak.

I found out the reason why
Dr. Ha came back to Korea.

He's the actual owner
of a new company called JohnBIO.

Why are you telling me this now,
you bastard?

Damn it!

No way.

I can't believe this.
Yun-cheol is the developer of Power Up?

The CEO of JohnBIO is third
on the list of people I look up to.

How could he be that loser, Yun-cheol?

My pride is shattered.

Dr. Ha is flying with wings
ever since he moved to the US.

He seemed like a charismatic businessman.

Once his company gets listed,
the stock price will keep going up.

He might end up moving up to the penthouse
on the 100th floor before we do.

You might be right.

Even Assemblyman Lee Gyu-jin of Gangnam
is still on the 50th floor.

Why is Yun-hui so lucky?

It's not like I don't have any money.

The voters complain too much!

-Didn't you love his style today?
-Right.

He looked wonderful in his Italian suit.

Has he always been that handsome?

That's why a man should be
with the right kind of woman.

He'll become sweeter and more courteous.

-Gosh.
-You're right.

I heard they were each other's first love.
If Ms. Cheon hadn't come between them,

they would've lived a great life already.

Ms. Cheon took a huge blow, that's what.

Serves her right.

She must be jealous to death.

Why would she be jealous?

She'll be married to Chairman Joo soon.

That's not how women's minds work.

Why don't you know a thing about women?
That's why girls don't like you.

I'm a hunk.

-I got 52% of the votes.
-Yun-hui must have saved a country

-People say I'm cute.
-in her past life.

-I thought it was a photo shoot.
-I even won a beauty competition

-for kids.
-The heli!

What are you doing, Ms. Jin?

Ms. Cheon.

I thought you were on a trip.

I said what are you doing?
Why are you cooking this late?

Eun-byeol said she's in charge
of bringing snacks tomorrow.

I wanted to prepare ahead.

Pizza, tteokbokki, and fried food?

When did she go to sleep?

I'm not sure what the exact time was.

Ms. Jin, how can you not know?

I told you, you and Eun-byeol
should move as one in her senior year.

You sleep with her, wake up with her,
check if she's well, if she's constipated,

if her period is regular or not.

You must know everything about her.
Didn't I say that?

Her food, her rides,
her schedule, health, weight,

and the hours of sleep she gets.
That's all your responsibility.

I am aware.

And that I should treat her carefully
as if I'm handling porcelain.

I hope you'll be a bit more vigilant.

-Mom.
-You weren't asleep?

It's past 3:00 a.m.

I had to study a little more.

When did you get home? How was the trip?

I was worried about you,
so I just came back.

You don't have to worry about me.
I'm fine.

It's your first trip in awhile.
You should've had fun with Mr. Joo.

My throat hurt a little
so I put it on in case I catch a cold.

Make sure you take
your propolis extract and vitamins.

Okay.

Have you been

in touch with your dad?

You blocked him on my email
and from my phone.

Did you know that he married Ro-na's mom?

No, not at all.

I'm so embarrassed, it's making me crazy.

Why Ro-na's mom of all people?
He knows how much I hate her!

You finally understood, right?

Your dad is utterly useless in your life.

I already crossed him out of my life.

I won't see him even if he calls.

That's my girl.

I will give you my full support

until you become the best of the best.

You're the only one on my side, Mom.

I'll study a bit more before I sleep.
Get some rest, Mom.

-Don't strain yourself.
-I won't.

You can leave through the back door.

What are you doing there?

Are you here to see Ro-na?

No.

FRAGILE: PHOTO FRAME

What are you doing?

-Goodness.
-Eun-byeol!

-I'll destroy this.
-It's all right.

Eun-byeol.

My dear, I must have surprised you.

Are you going to live here?

Here at Hera Palace with Ro-na?

I'm sorry, Eun-byeol.
I wanted to tell you beforehand,

but I had no way to contact you.

-You wouldn't answer my calls, texts--
- You don't have to explain.

And you don't have to apologize.
We're as good as strangers anyway.

Strangers? What are you talking about?

You abandoned me and left
while I was struggling the most!

Don't act like you know me
even if we run into each other.

Eun-byeol. Stop. Eun-byeol!

Goodness, Ms. Cheon.
I thought you were on a trip.

Or did you just come back?

Sang-a, my heart is racing.

Why is everything suddenly so exciting?

Doesn't it look like

bloodshed is coming again
to our quiet Hera Palace?

Yun-hui!

Where are you?

Come out, Yun-hui!

What's up?

Explain what happened here.

Why are you here?

Why did you return here of all places?

Is this the only house you could find?
Are you stalking me?

It's not like I'm banned from this place.

I used to live here,

and I loved it when I first moved in.

That's why I came back.

Did you forget who died in the penthouse?

I wouldn't want to be near this place,
and yet you wanted to live here?

Many people around here
still remember seeing you in handcuffs.

-To them, you're still--
-Even you live here.

That's what gave me courage.

What?

Why are you causing a scene in my house?

-If you're here to talk, take it outside.
-No.

I'm going to do it here.

I don't care if you two are really married
or if you're putting on a show.

-But you're not allowed to live here.
-And the reason is?

It's where your daughter,
Eun-byeol, lives.

You're going to hurt her if you stay.

How can you call yourself her dad?

That's exactly why I came.

You made it impossible
for me to communicate with her.

So I had no choice

but to move into the same building
and run into her from time to time.

We're divorced,
but I want to be near Eun-byeol.

Gosh, he's so manly.

That was amazingly charismatic.

You have no right to see her.

She doesn't want you as her dad either.

Why are you so anxious?

You already have everything.

You have your dream job,

your dream man, and Eun-byeol too.

You can keep living your life.

Live happily ever after with Dan-tae.

I'll live my own life…

with Yun-hui.

-Gosh.
-Goodness.

I'm actually thankful to you.

My life took a big turn after our divorce.

Stop acting like you're so cool.

You showed up after two years
at my engagement party of all places,

and then the house
you crawled back to is right by me.

If you came here to try to get me back
because you aren't over me, forget it.

I'll never get back together with you.

Stop humiliating my husband.
He's not yours anymore.

You're the one who will be humiliated!

Everyone in Hera Palace

knows that your husband
and I were once married.

Everyone also knows you and Chairman Joo
started off with an affair.

But you live a good life without caring.

Why do you seem so anxious?
I feel sorry for you.

Let's be happy
with our respective families.

You live your life, and I'll live mine.

Will you please leave now?

We have to hurry
to move everything in before lunch.

Is this yours?
Hold onto it. You might end up losing it.

Yun-hui completely won that round.

Oh Yun-hui.

Why did you come back?

What have you been up to?

Why are you back?

Open your mouth, and then make a sound.

Okay, good.
This time, make five short sounds.

All right, good.

Recently, my high notes
have been sounding rather raspy.

And I can feel something in my throat.

It's not a big deal, is it?

You need to cancel
your concert schedule now.

-What?
-Your vocal cord nodules look serious.

I can also see a malignant-looking lump.

If it becomes worse, you may need surgery.

Surgery? Why should I…

Never.

If you leave it like this,
you may never get your old voice back.

Please cancel the upcoming concert,
and make sure you completely rest.

I cannot cancel this concert.

I've paid the venue rental fees,
and the orchestra is already in Korea.

It's impossible to call this off.

I have to be on the stage.

Then you may never be able to sing again.

Is that all right with you?

Today, I brought twice the usual amount.

Can you finish everything?

Of course. I'm starving today.

Hey, Je-ni.

Make me feel as if I'm eating the food
so I can imagine the taste.

Make it look more real.

You have a knack for making everything
look so unappetizing.

Can't you hear me?

Open your mouth wider!

My gosh, that looks so greasy.

She's consuming so much trans-fat.

Gosh! That's disgusting.

Hey, seriously.

I bet you did that on purpose.

I guess she's not feeling well.
Don't be so harsh on her.

As promised, I won't expect
to see you at my mom's concert.

Why? I did everything you told me to do,
and I even ate everything!

I promised my mom that I'll go with her.
Let me to be there, Eun-byeol.

Since when were we friends?
You have another friend.

Do you still talk to her?

No, we haven't talked since that day.

It's true. Please believe me.

Come up with an excuse,
and tell your mom that you can't go.

Let's go.

Sir, someone's here to see you.

What did you say just now?

I'd like to join Hera Club again.

You've got quite brazen
since I last saw you.

Your move-in hasn't been confirmed yet,
and you're asking to join Hera Club?

For the kids' sake,

don't you think it's a bad idea
for a divorced couple to live

in the same building?

That's exactly what Seo-jin said.

Did the two of you meet up?

I worked very hard to succeed in the US.
And now that I'm back in Korea,

I'd obviously like to move
into the most valuable building in Korea.

Isn't that only natural?

The committee will not allow you
to move into Hera Palace.

Moving out is easy,
but moving back in surely isn't.

That is the type of place Hera Palace is.

You don't want me around Seo-jin?

Why not?

Because you're still only engaged?
Is that why you're worried?

Or, is there another reason?

My god, you're not the old Ha Yun-cheol.

You've lost your head
now that you've experienced wealth.

People are bound to change.

JOHNBIO'S PROMISE TO YOU

Oh, I forgot to give you my business card.

Next time, just call me "Mr. Ha."

Don't speak casually to me
as if we're close or something.

"Mr. Ha"?

Mr. Ha…

If that's what you want,

I will call you

"Mr. Ha" from now on.

If you want to
move into Hera Palace that badly,

make a donation.

What's a good amount?

Five billion won?

Ten billion?

If you're willing to donate that much,
I'll consider it.

CHEON SEO-JIN

SOPRANO CHEON SEO-JIN
SHOULD FORFEIT THE CROWN NOW

IT IS POSSIBLE THAT HER VOCAL CORDS
ARE SEVERELY DAMAGED

Those bastards!

They wrote about this already?

No. It's too risky.

Just do as I say.

It's not impossible.

It's just that
the public has never found out.

Still…

It can't be someone who's made a debut.
Find an amateur.

She can't be too young or too old.
She must be around my age.

We don't have time. We only have a week.

This concert has to be perfect,

no matter what.

DAN-TAE

What is it? I'm about to leave.

Now?

I'm telling you.

-Yes, for real.
-Seriously?

-Sorry I'm a little late.
-We just got here ourselves.

The traffic's terrible, isn't it?

Sometimes,
even the elevator takes forever.

As for Unit 4502, can we decide

as the committee to not let them move in?

Goodness, you must not have heard.

It's already been decided.

What do you mean?

JohnBIO…

I mean, your ex-husband

donated five billion won to Hera Palace.

So there's no need for us to vote.

Chairman Joo,
why did you make such a silly provision?

Based on the rules regarding donations,
they have automatically been approved.

What happened?

You didn't say anything to me.

My gosh, hello!

Welcome.

Everyone's here.

It's an honor to be invited to Hera Club.

-Come and sit.
-Take a seat.

-Sit here.
-Come join us.

We already know each other,
so no need for introductions.

We're happy to move into Hera Palace.

Oh boy.

Hey, you're here too.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Yun-hui!

You look great.

Oh my. Guess what? I'm an assemblyman now!

I know!

You've become such an important person
since I last saw you.

And you're looking even better.

Sang-a, I hope
I'll be seeing a lot of you as well.

Welcome back!

Come over for dinner this weekend.

Sounds good?

I'll bring some fruit and dessert.

Yun-hui, what do you like?

You know, actually.

Mr. Ha, you and your wife
should re-join Hera Club.

Residents of the same constituency
should be close.

Totally!

We've been too distant
ever since we lost Su-ryeon.

Since we're all here now,
why don't we vote on it?

-I'm all for it!
-Me too, of course!

What are you doing? Hera Club?

Have you all lost your minds?

Since when were we friendly
with Oh Yun-hui?

Don't you all know
what kind of woman she is?

What?

You'll give us JohnBIO's unlisted stock?

-That's right.
-To us? Do you really mean it?

I was dividing them up
with my loyal employees

and thought of you guys.

We used to be like family, you know?

Male vitality supplements will always be

a steady seller as long as humans exist.

Yes! We're interested, of course.

Then can you do me a favor?

Of course! You got it.

Tell us anything you want.

I don't know what they're giving you,

but I'm against this.

Hera Club has a reputation to protect.
How could a woman like her…

Watch how you speak about my woman.

Everyone knows that she's a murderer.

Did you see her committing the murder?

Don't you all owe her an apology?

You accused an innocent woman
of murder and just let her suffer.

But she didn't even resent you.
She was understanding and patient.

Do you know

how heartbroken I was to see that?

Jeez, I'm almost moved to tears.

Since we're both starting afresh,
let's stop bringing up the past

and hurting each other.

I don't care what you say to me,

but I won't let you hurt Yun-hui.

That's enough. I'm fine.

You're making me uncomfortable, Honey.

Why are you uncomfortable, Sweetie?

You can be confident.

Ms. Yang killed Su-ryeon after all.

Didn't Chairman Joo confirm it too?

Fine.

I'll leave Hera Club, then.
Problem solved, right?

-No, why should you leave?
-Let go of me!

Wait, Ms. Cheon.

Ms. Cheon?

Chairman Joo.

Wow, Mr. Ha.

You're such an eloquent speaker.

-You sound like a spokesperson.
-My gosh, I was so moved.

Dr. Ha, I didn't know you were so manly.

You seem completely different!

Why are you so upset?
You know that this won't solve anything.

How can I not be upset?

Didn't you hear what Yun-cheol said?

Since when was he such a loving husband?
What? "My wife"?

What is this about?

Are you upset because
your loser ex-husband became successful?

Or are you bothered
by your enemy Yun-hui's grand comeback?

Or is it both?

You disgraced me
with your actions just now.

"She still has feelings for Ha Yun-cheol."

"She regrets getting engaged to Dan-tae,
and Yun-hui still gets on her nerves."

Those big mouths
will gossip about it every day.

Are you happy that you've humiliated me?

What are you saying?
Why would I regret it?

I lost all interest in Yun-cheol long ago.

We've been fighting non-stop
ever since we got engaged.

Who'd get the most kick out of this?
Yun-hui is more dangerous than Yun-cheol.

We must find out
why she returned to Hera Palace.

It's probably because of us.

There's one rule
that I always stick to in business.

The more dangerous they are,
the closer I keep them

so I can see what they're after.

All Yun-cheol has is his wealth.

I don't know how he became so successful,
but he can't sustain it for long.

He offered a donation, so I accepted it.

We'll just use him to our benefit.

If you get all feisty and attack him,
you'll only show them you're anxious.

I'm sorry.

I've been on edge because of the concert.

Look at yourself.

Oh Yun-hui is no match for you
because you're so amazing.

She has already hit rock bottom.

So, keep your dignity and elegance
as you deal with her, okay?

I don't know what I'm so afraid of.

Since Oh Yun-hui came back,

I feel like everything's been a mess.

-My goodness.
-Gosh!

Why did you drink so much?

-Gosh.
-You drank way over your limit.

Gosh, I'll throw out my back
while carrying someone else's husband!

-Honey, here.
-My goodness.

Gosh. I'm exhausted.

Why is he so heavy?

Is he made of stone? Gosh, my back.

Hold on. I'll get you something to drink.

-What would you like?
-Anything's fine. Oh, my back…

Honey.

Dr. Ha gave me something amazing.

-I see.
-His latest product.

It's supposed to work wonders.
You'd better be prepared.

What are you talking about?

Your honey is over there--

Are you okay with orange juice?

What? Yes, orange juice sounds perfect.

If possible, with lots of naked…
I mean, crushed ice.

Okay, give me a second.

Your orange slush is coming right up!

It's done!

Goodness.

Oh dear, he's taking off his clothes.

My gosh, Honey!

He'll catch a cold.

Honey, what are you doing?

This is so embarrassing.

Je-ni must be waiting. I should go home.

-Wait!
-Oh, it's this way.

-Drink this before you go!
-Keep it for later.

Gosh, what's with her?

You must be tired. Moving is exhausting.

-Do you like the place?
-Yes, I do.

Thank you so much.

As we had planned,
we managed to get into Hera Club.

With our wedding photos on the wall,

it feels like we're actually married.

I couldn't have returned alone.
It's all thanks to you.

Cheon Seo-jin and Joo Dan-tae
will do whatever it takes to kick us out.

If I was afraid of that,
I wouldn't even have returned.

Don't worry.

They can't mess with you again.
I'll protect you.

As you know,

I'm your business partner and husband.

Cut it out.

Don't you betray me again.

If you do, you're dead meat.

Never.

Oh, what about Ro-na? Not yet?

No.

I'm sure I can see her again someday…

when I deserve to see her.

CHEONG-A ARTS HIGH SCHOOL

Next.

No, not this either. Next.

Next.

CURRICULUM VITAE

No. I said, no. Next.

Next.

Next.

She's singing flat.

Next.

No, not this! Turn it off at once.

The audience has listened
to my singing all their lives.

They'd notice even the littlest change
with the way I breathe.

These are not good enough to fool them.

The broker recommended about ten singers,
and you've listened to all of them.

Why don't you cancel the concert
before it's too late?

I can't do that.

There are people waiting to see me fail.
Should I offer myself up as their prey?

They will be thrilled
to laugh and gossip all they want.

"After 20 years, Cheon Seo-jin
finally steps down as a prima donna

and gives up her crown."

Actually, there was someone
who sounded so much like you,

but she suddenly informed us
that she couldn't take the job.

So I didn't include her.

She turned down a teaching position
at Cheong-a Arts High School?

Let me hear it.

CURRICULUM VITAE
NAME: PARK YEONG-RAN

She's the one.

She sings every single note in tune…

and never runs out of breath.

Who is she?

She's in her late 30s.

She teaches kids in Ulsan at the moment.

She never made a professional debut
and went to a college in a small city?

Hire her.

Do whatever it takes to bring her to me.

Contact her now.

Welcome. It's nice to meet you.

Don't turn around.

What's your name?

I'm Park Yeong-ran.

I'm a huge fan of yours.
It's an honor to meet you in person.

I enjoyed listening to your demo.

You have such a wonderful voice.

I still have a lot to learn,

but hearing such a compliment
from my role model…

I'm truly flattered.

Why did you turn down the position
at Cheong-a Arts High School?

Oh, that…

My father recently had surgery

and is not doing so well.

Because of that,
I don't think I can work in Seoul.

He needs me by his side now.

If that was the reason,
I can certainly help you.

I can have the best doctors

at Cheong-a Medical Center
treat your father.

And of course,

he'll also have caregivers
looking after him around the clock,

so you won't have much to do.

Pardon?

On the condition
that you'll do me a little favor.

Now, we're going to talk about
something very important.

But this must stay between us.

Can you promise me?

This will be

the most important opportunity
in your life.

Yes, you have my word.

I won't tell anyone.

First, sign this non-disclosure agreement.

The opening song will be
"Una Voce Poco Fa."

I want you to completely master the song

and send over a demo.

The most important thing is that
we have to be in perfect sync.

DEMO OF "UNA VOCE POCO FA"
BY PARK YEONG-RAN

No mistakes are allowed.

You must sing exactly like you practiced.

Don't forget that.

Seo-jin.

I heard your 20th-anniversary concert
is tomorrow. Congratulations.

Yes. Thanks, whether you mean it or not.

-Honey, you must be hungry.
-Yes.

I'll make you something nice.

-Put it down. It's heavy.
-Okay.

Oh, I made cheonggukjang, your favorite.

-Really?
-Yes.

Goodness, you're the best.

I'm happy that you like my cooking.

My gosh, what did I do to deserve you?

What do you think? Very natural, right?

You're so dead.

Who said you could do stuff like that?

Well, I just couldn't help it.

I must have rehearsed too much
because it's an important concert.

Why don't we call it a day?

What? You always treat
your rehearsals like the real thing.

Are you sure you'll be okay?

It's not like it's my first concert.
I'll just rest a little in the green room.

I'll check the stage and go.
I'm counting on you today.

While you're singing on stage,

Park Yeong-ran
will be singing in this secret room.

CONCERT STAGE

PARK YEONG-RAN

I just need this concert to go well.

Once my vocal fold nodules go away,
I can sing like I used to.

Then, all will be fine.

SOPRANO CHEON SEO-JIN
20TH ANNIVERSARY CONCERT

We should have got a bigger one.

-This is big enough.
-You think so?

I think we should have bought
a bigger one.

I can't believe this.
That was a perfect high F.

Seo-jin, that was incredible.
I got chills.

Why didn't you tell me
you were raising the finale?

You've certainly surpassed your prime!

What happened there?
You never said you'd raise it to a high F.

It's hard enough to hit such a note.

It's nearly impossible
to hold it for that long.

Did you intentionally hide
what you could really do?

There must be a reason
why you tried to fool my ears.

Hey.

Who are you, really?

Who are you?

How…

How could you…

Finally, I get to say hi.

Let's try to get along, Seo-jin.

Your daughter is included in my plan.

Put a tail on Seo-jin too.

I'm excited too.

Oh Yun-hui. I will kill you.
