Original subtitles

Honestly, I don't think your band can go on like this.

What about that great guy you said you want in the band? What did he say?

This time, he'll definitely say yes.

You've cut yourself off from the outside world so much,

you don't know what's going on out there.

It's just one clip, but it has millions of views.

Someone came to audition. He said his name was Phatee.

I found your band's selling point.

I agree to become a trainee

and debut with your band.

Thanks for doing this for our dream.

Our band gets to keep going!

P-ONE MUSIC LABEL - ARTIST CONTRACT

Artist contract.

According to the contract, the label's trainees

can't take other jobs.

Are you okay with that?

Do whatever you want.

I've never stopped you.

Besides,

you don't like taking jobs at the club anyway.

Actually, becoming an artist is good too.

If you become famous, I'll print your photo and put it up at the club,

and tell everyone that I

made you a star.

Thank you.

Then I'll hurry and move my stuff out.

Why are you moving your stuff?

Is your label making you live there?

I don't work for you anymore.

Do I still have the right to use the room?

You know, becoming an artist takes time.

To release a song,

to get famous, to build a fanbase,

it takes time.

You don't have to move out.

Stay here.

You're not staying for free.

I'll definitely charge you rent.

I just haven't figured out yet

how much to charge you.

Enough.

Enough.

Thank you.

Then I'll go practice.

He's only a trainee, and you're already this happy.

If he becomes an artist,

won't you throw a three-day party for the whole block?

Well, I'm proud of him.

Who would've thought

a broken-winged crow like Phatee

would actually get to follow his real dream?

When I went to Japan, you weren't this proud of me.

Vann!

Hey, Japan boy.

You totally disappeared.

I've been studying hard.

Studying hard?

If you're studying hard, how come you're here?

Can I get another one?

I really missed your nagging when I was in Japan.

Stop.

I'm not playing along.

What? I didn't skip class.

If you don't believe me, ask Rakkhun.

Right, darling?

It's a long holiday in Japan right now.

So I booked him a ticket back.

See?

You two are really in sync.

Whatever. I've given up.

No matter what rules I make,

none of the crows around here follow them.

Just look at Talay.

He's even seeing that writer guy.

Hey, you.

Why are you coming at me?

It's just a temporary relationship.

I'm not serious about it.

Whatever.

Every crow here

is stubborn.

Is this yours?

SUN: IS THIS YOURS?

You and that writer…

Did it happen?

What's with you?

Stay out of it.

Don't worry about me.

And bring me a souvenir.

Linda.

Your souvenir.

I'm charging you.

I didn't think someone like you would bring me here.

You wanted to know more about who I am, didn't you?

What someone like me does all day.

So you can use it as material for your novel.

Did you really draw these yourself?

You're not pretending to be an artist to fool me, are you?

Want to try drawing one?

I'm not good at drawing.

Every drawing is beautiful.

It depends on how you see it.

If you don't want to draw,

why don't you try writing something?

You're a writer, aren't you?

Virginia Woolf.

Then draw me.

No.

I don't draw people.

Why? Afraid it won't look good?

With your brushwork,

I think you could paint a cool portrait.

I don't want to.

What makes you think you can judge what's good or bad about me?

I told you, you don't know me well.

You see my face

and judge me by my appearance like everyone else.

Last night, I saw more than just your face.

Did you leave anything else in my room?

Next time, I definitely won't forget.

There'll be a next time, right?

Let me see how today goes first.

Everyone,

come here.

Let's officially introduce ourselves again.

This is Phatee.

He'll be the main vocalist of A-team.

And I have more good news for you.

Your debut

is in three months.

Just do your best.

And take care of Phatee.

You can count on us.

Finally! Guys,

we're finally debuting!

Hi.

I'm PJ.

I'm the keyboardist for A-team.

Welcome.

Okay.

Hi. I'm Tonhon.

I'm the bassist.

And

with a face this handsome, I'm the visual.

Okay.

Saw. I'm the drummer.

Saw also produces.

He can write songs.

He can play guitar.

You guys should hit it off.

So, aren't you going to introduce yourself, big bro?

How do you know I'm older?

I could be younger than you.

Kao told me you're the oldest in the band.

So I figured you'd be older than me.

That stings.

Hey, man. Don't let it sting.

Your face may look young,

but you're the oldest in the whole building.

Enough, Tonhon.

All three of you

are around the same age anyway.

We finally get to formally introduce ourselves.

I'm Ranne.

I'm the main vocalist,

guitarist,

and band leader.

Welcome, newbie.

Glad to be joining you guys.

From now on, just call me big bro,

Phatee.

So we can get close faster.

Okay.

Why are you guys smiling?

Nothing, big bro.

Come on, practice. It's time to practice.

I'm debuting!

START LIVESTREAM

Today, we're practicing some basic dance moves.

Come on.

Today, we're practicing the basics.

First move is a bounce. Bend down. Go.

1.

2.

3. That's right.

4.

5.

6.

7.

8, then back to 1.

1, go. 2.

3.

4, come on.

Now, for the second move, we'll use our legs.

Start with your feet together.

Step to the right, 1.

2.

Bring your right foot in.

Then left foot, go.

Back.

Together. Forward.

Together. Okay, faster now.

5, 6, 7, 8. Go.

1, 2, 3,

4, 5, 6.

Sorry.

Everyone, take a break.

Except you.

Keep practicing.

Come on.

Let's work on your footwork. Again.

Start. 1.

Right. 2.

Back. Left.

Bring your right foot in. 3.

Right.

Then bend down a little.

Then your left foot forward. 4.

Right. Bring this foot in.

Right, cross.

5.

Bring it in. 6.

Step forward. 7.

Bring your foot in. 8.

Can he handle it?

It's only his first day.

Shouldn't he have some basics down?

You guys were like this on your first day too.

7.

8.

Damn it.

I thought we'd finally get to debut.

Now I'm starting to stress out.

Damn, I thought he'd have some basics down.

He's clearly below zero.

You guys.

Go back and practice.

I just came out for some fresh air.

The air inside was so damn stuffy.

Don't overthink it.

I was way worse on my first day.

I really can't dance.

You don't have to comfort me.

I'm not comforting you. I'm serious.

It took me a long time to get this good at dancing.

It's only your first day.

Don't worry.

You can do it.

How about this?

I'll help teach you to dance.

Okay?

I don't want to trouble you, Ranne.

We're in the same boat now.

We have to help each other make it to shore.

Besides,

I told you to call me big bro.

Don't let me hear you

calling me just Ranne again.

It sounds distant.

Are you touched?

No.

If I call you big bro,

you'll sound too old.

You little brat.

I was being serious.

Do… Re…

Mi…

Go. 1, 2, 3, 4.

5, 6, 7, 8. Go.

2, 2, 3, 4.

5, 6, 7, 8. Go.

3, 2, 3, 4.

5, 6, 7, 8.

4, 2, 3, 4.

5, 6, 7, 8.

Feel it here.

Then push it down.

Bring it down first.

Then bring it out.

Then down again.

Go as deep as you can.

Come look at this.

How about a lower key?

You mean lower the key?

Here, let me show you.

I'll teach you. Here, like this.

Sweep your hand down like this.

Then sweep your hand past your face like this.

Is this enough?

Yes. Turn your face that way.

Phatee.

Okay.

‎Do…

Re…

Thanks.

This works.

Oh.

Lately, we've been practicing late every night.

Thanks for putting in the effort.

You're doing things you're not good at,

and you have to adjust to the other members too.

I know the first step is always hard.

But I'll stay by your side

and keep pushing you forward.

I'm here because of you.

You've always been my inspiration.

Hold on.

Okay.

What you just said was…

for content?

Yeah.

We have to make content for the label's channel too.

Right now,

we're in the pre-debut phase, right?

It helps attract fans.

Besides, it's the label's promo plan.

Didn't Kao tell you?

Or… did it look fake? We can do another take.

No.

I think that was…

fine.

If we shoot it again, it'll look fake.

Oh, and,

you just said

I've always been your inspiration.

Did you know me before?

I was just saying stuff.

Really?

But you don't seem

like someone who just says stuff.

Well…

it's for content.

I've been practicing.

Very good.

From now on,

the two of us have to make content together.

So from now on,

when you see a camera,

give it a smile.

Okay?

Okay.

Come on, smile.

Come on, smile.

Come on, smile.

Show your teeth too.

Let's keep eating.

Look at this, guys.

No joke.

I think

since Phatee joined,

our band's engagement has shot way up.

I'm starting to love Phatee.

At first, I saw he couldn't really dance.

Turns out, people really are

good at different things.

Phatee really is talented.

It's not just about pulling in views.

Look over there.

Take a look.

He's even better than me.

Let's cut the rap. It's too much. It won't have that wow factor.

Let's do it.

Something like this. Take a look.

Whoa.

It's really good.

Hey, everyone.

Phatee's old song,

with a new arrangement,

is finished!

- Come here. - Let me see.

Come check it out.

Let's see.

Check this out.

- Whoa. - Shit!

He can compose this well?

This is the real deal.

It's not that hard.

Hey, you could be a little humble.

How about we

try playing it?

- Let's do it. - Let's try it.

- We're trying it now? - Yeah, let's try it now.

- Hey, what are you afraid of? - We won't know until we try.

Okay, come on.

- Do you remember the chords? - I do.

Let's do it.

Whose song is this?

Well…

It's an old song of Phatee's

that we rearranged.

Okay. Good. Let's make this your debut song.

Really?

Really.

It's your time now.

You can start recording the song,

planning the promotion, and shooting the MV.

You don't have to wait three months anymore.

If you're ready, just debut.

We're finally debuting!

We did it!

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Thanks, Phatee. It's all because of you that our band has come this far.

It's not that big a deal.

Come on, be happy.

Come on, after everything you've done.

We did it!

Why are you back so early today?

It's already 2 a.m.

You usually get back at 3 or 4 a.m.

So? Is being a trainee fun?

It's not bad.

If you want to talk, go ahead.

If not, have a drink with me.

I've seen your clips all over social media.

You're getting a lot of buzz.

People are even shipping you with Ranne.

He's the one who kept pursuing you at the club, right?

It's just content.

Why? You don't like it?

I don't know either.

I don't know if

Ranne is nice to me

because he genuinely wants to be,

or because…

we just have to work together.

I thought it was something serious.

So it's a matter of the heart.

What would you do?

I wouldn't care

whether he's doing it for work

or because of personal feelings.

I'd make the most of it.

It's like dreaming.

You know you'll have to wake up,

but so what?

Just dreaming makes you happy, right?

What if I wake up from the dream?

Then you have two choices.

Go back to sleep

and hope you have the same good dream again.

Or

make your dream a reality.

Scrub harder.

Do you have any strength?

Like this.

Like this.

You're still as strong as ever.

You should eat more.

You're so skinny.

One puff and you'd blow away.

Oh.

You're Tangmo's ex.

You're at The Crow Club now?

Or did you two get back together?

Stop it, Vann. Want a smack?

I just…

hired him to clean.

I'm lazy.

That's all.

But it looks like you're the one cleaning.

Keep scrubbing. Make sure it's clean.

Then go scrub the bathroom too.

Don't panic.

The more you panic, the more suspicious you look.

Even if there's nothing,

people will think there is.

What's this?

It's your debut song.

What did you do to it?

The original was already good.

I tried having AI polish it. I didn't do anything.

You used AI?

Saw.

There are plenty of producers at your label.

I can do it too.

I didn't use AI for everything.

Just to polish it up.

What the fuck do you mean you didn't?

You changed almost the whole song.

What's the point of art if you do this?

So what do you want?

If you're debuting with this song,

then they can debut as four.

- I'm out. - Hey.

Saw.

Don't say that, Saw.

If the label owner wants to use AI,

why not use AI to create an artist?

That seems more your style.

- Saw. - Saw.

- Fuck. - What's his problem?

He's making such a big deal out of this.

But I think this band will make it anyway

with Phatee and Ranne.

They're both getting a lot of buzz right now.

What do you guys think?

If you continue without Saw?

If we had a choice,

we'd rather debut as five.

Then I'll give you three days.

Think it over.

If Saw doesn't come back,

what are you going to do?

What the hell?

You could call him a hundred times. He won't answer.

When he's ready, he'll come talk to you.

So what are you going to do

if he quits?

Everything's been set for five people,

both the blocking and vocal parts.

I'm not giving up that easily.

You guys go home for today.

I'll handle Saw myself.

Keep us posted.

Why haven't you left yet?

You looked stressed,

so I'm staying with you.

Let's call it a day.

I'll take you home.

Isn't it in the opposite direction for you?

It's fine.

I was going to see Saw too.

Then I'll come with you.

Can you open it for me?

Saw must've known I was coming.

That's why he hasn't come back.

He's not posting on social media.

He won't reply to my texts either.

You probably need to give him some time.

Where on earth is he?

He doesn't have many friends.

Or…

maybe he went back to his parents.

Or he's staying with a sibling for a while.

Right.

Saw has an older sister.

But I messaged her, and she hasn't replied yet.

I don't know where his parents live either.

But he could be there.

Then wait for his sister to reply first.

Then figure out what to do.

You know,

we've given up on this dream so many times.

We're so close.

We're really so close.

We have to debut as five.

Thanks.

Aren't you practicing with the band today?

Not today.

Have you ever taken a job finding someone?

Not often.

Linda usually gives jobs like that to Mimi.

She's an expert at catching cheaters and finding missing people.

Missing dogs and cats too. That's her specialty.

Why?

Someone in my band had a fight with the label,

and then he disappeared.

What's that got to do with you?

Well…

it has nothing to do with me. But it has to do with Ranne.

Heart trouble again.

Yeah.

Is Mimi here?

Mimi's not here.

Let me see.

Who are you looking for?

His name is Saw.

He might be hard to find because he rarely posts anything.

Saw.

Do you believe in fate?

What's with you?

Are you picking someone based on a profile picture?

No!

Linda just told me about a job where I'd pretend

to be someone's boyfriend to fool her family.

And the person who contacted us…

is this girl.

When?

This afternoon.

With you two staring like that, my boyfriend's getting nervous.

Your name is Sky, right?

Yes.

What do you do?

I'm an engineer.

I work for a construction company.

Good career.

Good-looking too.

I like this one.

I don't want another one like your ex.

I know.

Where do you live?

I live in Lat Phrao.

Is it a condo or a townhouse?

- Mom. - It's a condo.

How did you get here? What car did you drive?

Dad.

I took a Grab.

Oh, so you don't have to worry about parking.

There he is.

How did you get here?

You know your sister's boyfriend too?

Boyfriend?

Yes.

This is Sky, my boyfriend.

How would you know my boyfriend?

Maybe I mistook him for someone else.

Okay, okay.

Come on, let's eat.

You must all be starving.

- Eat a lot so you'll grow. - Okay.

Ranne.

Ranne, can I take a photo with you?

Sure.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Is Phatee here?

I haven't been able to reach him all day.

I was wondering who it was.

It's Phatee's ship partner.

Phatee's not here. He's working.

But he'll be back soon.

Then I'll wait here.

I don't think it's good to stay here. There's no privacy.

Want to go to Phatee's room? I'll take you.

- Okay. Sorry to trouble you. - He's so handsome.

We have to tell our friends.

Post it in the group.

- I'll share it with my friends on IG. - Drinks are here.

Thanks.

That scared me.

I haven't seen you for a while,

and you already changed your name.

And now you're my sister's boyfriend.

If I didn't do this,

would I get to see you?

Ranne and everyone are really worried about you.

Are you really leaving the band this easily?

Would you dare sing that AI song?

Just go talk to Kao.

Kao won't listen to me.

She doesn't care about anyone

except you and Ranne.

What's with you?

You really don't know?

You only get to debut

because they're selling your ship with Ranne.

How do you know?

It might not be that serious.

How could I not know?

Ranne just didn't want me to tell you.

And now,

you and Ranne are getting lots of jobs together.

But Ranne told Kao he wants to take them after debut.

Otherwise, you'd feel pressured

and turn down the jobs.

That's why Kao wants you to debut soon.

But I went along with it

because at least I'd get closer to my dream.

But now I guess Kao doesn't even see me anymore.

So I don't know why I should stay.

What if I get them to stop using AI

and use the song you wrote?

Will you come back?

Without me,

you can still debut.

I'm not important.

That's not true.

You are important.

SONGBOOK

RANNE

- I'm putting mine here. - I'll stick mine here.

I really like you.

- Thank you. - Ranne, I'm putting mine here.

Happy Valentine's Day.

There's Phatee. Come on.

- Phatee! - Phatee!

I really like you.

RANNE

So what's going on with you and Phatee?

The way he looks at you is nothing like how he looks at anyone else.

- Do you like me? - The opportunity is here.

You have to seize it.

Which one do you mean?

Both your dream and your love life.

Come on, let's go see Phatee.

Why did you bring me here? It's crowded.

Then just keep looking at me like this.

Did you trick me into looking at you?

Close your eyes and think about what you want to happen.

You can open your eyes now.
