Like a page turner, who flips the music score

and helps the performance from the closest place.

Show every consideration to make the main character stand out and

I'm telling you that I'm not a genius.

It's just that you're nothing special.

become the best partner.

That person has falsely accused me with her harsh stinging words over these many years.

Please judge her with the fires of hell so she may understand her arrogance.

Do you know what you've just done?!

To emphasize it one more time,

Did you take that away?! You're so cheap!

this is the story of them each becoming the others' page turner.

You terrible bastard!

Three youths' heart-warming story.

Page Turner Episode 1 - "Those Who Receive Heaven's Gift"

Do you guys know what the opposite of Incheon's Abpada is? (play on words with Korean words dad, coastal sea)

What is it?

It's Incheon's mom!

Hey, catch that punk!

- You're dead! - Hey what is he saying?

Why aren't you looking at your sheet music, Yoo Seul?

Put on your seatbelt.

I was looking at it until just now. I thought I'd get car sick if I looked at it while you're driving.

Car sickness is only for a moment.

You're going to take the sight reading test soon. Since you don't know what piece will come up,

look at even just one more piece.

Yes.

Hey! Do you know what type of jeans aren't good for your health?

Stop it!

- What is it? - Yoo Hae Jin!

What? (Yoo Hae Jin is an actor but "Yoo Hae" means harmful and "Jin" sounds like jean.)

What? Someone put a keyboard here?

Keyboard? Isn't it a piano?

Ah, because of you, our entire group seems ignorant, you punk!

If it looks lacking like this they call it a keyboard.

But you know, the ones that are not like this...

The big and wide looking ones, where the lid opens like a scallop...

The ones with three legs!

Yeah, dude! That's what you call a piano!

Wow, Jeong Cha Sik, you're smart and athletic!

You're right. I get frustrated sometimes.

There's nothing I can't do!

National Treasure Pianist is on board.

You heard that Professor Moon from the performing arts university is coming for this exam, right?

Yes.

And you know everyone is practicing furiously to be acknowledged by him?

Yeah. Can you open the window?

No! You'll catch a cold.

That's why, not sloppily like last time,

but make sure you get an overpowering first place so that you'll stand out for the professor's eyes.

Your hands are free right now.

Yes.

Since this is a sight reading test you'll need a page turner.

Request Ji Hee or Jeong Sik ahead of time since they're safest.

Also, about Jin Mok...

Jin Mok? What about that psychopath?

Seo Jin Mok, are you ready?

Yes!

Who wants to be the page turner for Jin Mok?

When Jin Mok is playing, be his page turner.

Why me?

Jin Mok is climbing up at a frightening pace these days.

I heard from Teacher Song yesterday. He brings a cot into the practice room, sleeps there and practices into the night.

There's a need for you to hold him to a point.

I'll do it.

It's not a pageturn-dol but a pageturn-soon (girl).

Daebak. Aren't they enemies?

Not just any enemy.

They're the kind who diss each other until their mouths go dry.

But why is she helping him? She's becoming scarier now.

Seo Jin Mok, hurry, pick out your piece and tell us what the title is.

Yes.

Because Jin Mok's a psychopath, it'll be rat poison for him if he gets one of the Romantics.

Chopin Valse in E minor Op. Post

It is Chopin Valse in E minor Op. Post.

That's right. Romantic.

How do I hold him in check?

A page turner

can save a performance or with intention completely ruin one.

Especially, since this is a sight reading test, if you turn the page slightly off time, it will be hard for him to play without making a mistake.

Do I have to use such sneaky tactics like that? With my skills, can't I-

If you get caught, it becomes a sneaky tactic. If you're not caught, it becomes a skill.

- But... - Yoo Seul.

Do you know why a snail squirms if you step on it? It's because you stepped on it lightly.

For me, it bothers me to watch his squirming after becoming second place.

So this time, let's make sure we completely step on him.

Yes.

If I were Yoo Seul, I'd turn the music score pages off-beat.

Aigoo, look at the way you think.

Yoo Seul is top in our class. What's she lacking that she would need to use such a sneaky tactic?

That brat! Why doesn't she listen...!

No, why won't this camera listen..?

Dang it. She properly turned it for him. Taking the air out of a person...

Aigoo. She makes me frustrated.

Round it out.

Round it.

Jin Mok.

What is it?

There's no feeling to it.

What do you think? Doesn't it seem like the dance of lovers before they separate?

It's sad and beautiful.

Hello.

- Right? - No.

Fine. It's possible you don't know yet.

Earlier, this is how you played it.

What do you think? Doesn't it sound like a soldier marching?

You can tell the difference, right?

Yes. The latter sounds much better.

Nothing's wrong and the tempo is played exactly.

How can the latter sound better?

Normally, most people say the former sounds better than the latter. If you're not a psychopath—

N-no, I'm not saying Jin Mok is a psychopath.

Father! I think I need to change my private lesson teacher!

Jin Mok-

Why?

It's not like she's ever even studied overseas.

I don't think I need to take lessons from a neighborhood academy teacher who has never even had a solo recital.

And that lacking girl she always brings like a growth bothers me too!

He's so precise. It's like a computer is playing.

Yeah. But something is dry.

I thought you wouldn't properly turn the page.

Actually, I did consider it for a moment, but then I didn't think I needed to.

You were so pathetic.

Yoon Yoo Seul - 1st in Piano Department of Han Joo Performing Arts High School

Next is Yoon Yoo Seul. Who wants to be her page turner?

I will do it.

That won't do!

Why isn't this working?

You picked out your music?

Yes.

The piece I will perform

is Rachmaninoff Prelude Opus 23 No. 5

No way. This is something even hard for a guy to play.

That seems like a piece that Rachmaninoff composed to brag that he was big and going to last.

Since Yoo Seul's hands are on the small side, it should be difficult to perform as a sight reading piece.

Jin Mok will turn the pages in a timely manner, right?

If I was Jin Mok, I'd turn the music score pages off-beat.

Oh, again?

Father! I think I need to change my private lessons teacher!

Why do you think that?

She doesn't even consider if she might be teaching it wrong, and she always blames me!

I'm sorry, Jin Mok's father.

However, I did my very best to teach him.

It's not because I lacked the skills that I didn't study abroad or do solo recitals.

It was because of my lack of financial resources. That's why I couldn't do it.

All the kids I've taught until now were accepted at Han Joo Performing Arts High School.

For me, I hear that I'm a prodigy at my school and piano academy!

Except for this teacher, they all tell me that I'm a prodigy!

I got it. But you need to personally find another teacher.

Um, excuse me, sir.

I'm sorry. Since the situation is like this, there's nothing I can do.

I've put in more than this month's payment. Consider today your last day and...

It seems like I have mistaught him.

Jin Mok, I was wrong.

I didn't know how good you were. I must have lost my senses temporarily, so...

Watch closely. My mom said this is how you play it.

My mom taught you correctly. You misunderstood her.

SHUT UP! Did you see that? She taught her properly but teaches me the wrong way!

No... I've never taught Yoo Seul piano before...

I've never once taught her piano before! Do you hear?

I've never taught her, but she's playing it perfectly!

You're a prodigy.

This is a real prodigy.

You haven't taught her before, but she's playing like that?

That's a lie! Hey, you're noisy!!

Stop playing! I said stop! I told you to stop playing!

Jin Mok, you!

Mom!

What are you doing right now?

Yoo Seul, are your hands alright?

I'm alright. Mom, what are we going to do?!

Mom, what are we going to do about your hands?!

It's alright. It doesn't hurt one bit. It's okay. Let's go, Yoo Seul.

Mom, what about Jin Mok's lesson?

Even if he begs, I won't do it. Why would I teach someone's lackwit child when I have my own talented daughter?

Good job. You did so well.

You are the best.

It's time. It's time to turn the page.

That jerk, he did that on purpose!

Sorry, I must have been feeling nervous.

Teacher, I'm sorry. I made a mistake.

How can Jin Mok make a mistake right there to be such a downer?

It's not a mistake. It's something he planned and did to be such a downer. That's exactly the behavior of such close-minded types.

It must be nice that you're the same close-minded type. It must be an honor for your family.

Sorry, Seo Jin Mok.

I must also have been too nervous.

What's wrong with Yoo Seul?

Wow, it looks like they're going to grab at each others' collars.

Why are they like that?

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Page Turners @ Viki

What is that? She's playing without the sheet music?

Awesome!

I just got goose bumps.

She's of a different class.

As expected, Yoon Yoo Seul.

Dang it.

Seo Jin Mok - 2nd in Piano Department of Han Joo Performing Arts High School

South Korea!

South Korea!

South Korea!

South Korea!

This is the 3rd round- the 3rd round. If you don't pass it'll be hard to get a medal.

You know you have to get this medal so you can easily get into college, right?

Please listen to me this time.

Cha Sik, where are you looking?

Did you see it? Teach, did you see it? That zebra woman just walked by, knocked my mom's bag, and then ignored her!

Teach, you know it, right? My mom hates being pushed around like that.

I know. Of course, I know. I know she doesn't want to be pushed around.

But she'll hate you not getting a medal even more than that!

Has that woman gone crazy?

That strawberry milk carton fell, you zebra lady!Pole Vaulting Hero of International Athletic High School Kang Joon Ho

- Hey, grab him! - Okay! Don't do it!

I'm going to go crazy. Cha Sik!

Strawberry milk!

My mom likes strawberry milk!

- What's with him?- But you lady!

You knocked the strawberry milk over!

- Eui Suk, where's the sedative supplement? - I didn't bring it.

Cha Sik! I'm okay.

I'm okay, Cha Sik. I'm okay.

- I'm okay.- But I'm not!

Kang Joon Ho, who are you?!

Hey, Kang Joon Ho, tell your mother to go apologize to mine!

- What's wrong? - I'm sorry. He's a nice kid, but it seems like he's so excited that he may have gone slightly cuckoo. I'm sorry.

Jeong Cha Sik!

You don't know who Kang Joon Ho is? National Representative Kang Joon Ho!

He's first right now! He's the one who jumped 17 cm higher than you! Kang Joon Ho!

Ah, so that's why he's ignoring my mom? Because he can jump a measly 17 cm higher than me?

That's not it!

No, you're right.

That's right. That's it.

If you had done well, they could never ignore your mom like that. Not ever!

What's that jerk's record right now?

5.27 meters. So what I'm saying is,(Roughly 17.3 feet.)

in the 3rd round, you need to jump at least 5.10 meters in order to-

Woo Jeong Athletic High School - Jeong Cha Sik will raise the bar to 5.30 meters in the 3rd round!!!

What? No, no!

It's 5.10.

- 40!- Hey.

Shut his mouth up.

Have you lost your mind? Your personal best record is 5.10, you punk.

50!

Okay, okay. Let's go for 30.

Settled? Then you'll win over Kang Joon Ho.

Settled. Settled?

We will go for 5.30 meters! It's 30.

Look at you. The crazy's started to come out again.

Is that, perhaps, your son?

Ah, y-yes. It would seem so.

Your son's ambition is nice.

Would you like to bet? It'll be whether or not my son jumps 5.30 meters.

Look, our son is national representative material.

That's why. It has to be a losing proposition to get your money's worth out of it.

Let's do the bet.

Okay, let's hear the bet first.

Um, if my son gets over the 5.30 meters,

will you accept my business card?

Business card? Why...?

What if he can't jump it?

I'll give you this.

What?! A noteboo-

If I don't have this, my source of income disappears.

I'm hanging my source of income on this bet right now.

Cha Sik! Fighting!

I knew that he was nicknamed Mu (ignorant)bak(head) because he goes crazy when he perceives that he's being looked down on, but

I didn't know he'd go crazy to the point he'd throw away his bronze medal for this.

Cha Sik! Cha Sik!

Jeong Cha Sik - National representative in pole vault from Woo Jeong Athletic High School

That cannot be.

That cannot be! This cannot be!

Hey, Cha Sik!

You broke your strongest record!

Hey, Cha Sik! Aigoo!

Hey!

Did you see it, Mom? I beat that zebra woman's son's record!

Yes!

You did it!

That can't be.

- How is this possible?!- Since my son did it...

Here. Here is my business card.

Writer Jeong Mi Soo

Y-you're a writer? What kind of writer?

I write a little bit of everything. I have experience in novels and theater.

Members of the the National Assembly, businessmen, announcers, etc., etc. I have ghostwriting experience for no less than 13 of them.

A self-introduction, a series of consultations, or inaugural address. I can even cover a written apology.

It looks like you would know a lot of people who would be my customers.

I hope you can help promote me a lot!

- Yes. - Yes.

Okay so now you've secured a national title. How does 5.35 meter sound?

If you take this chance to make a pretty new personal record...

When you go to college, you can even get a scholarship.

Woo Jeong Athletic High School - Jeong Cha Sik will go for 5.50meters!

Are you crazy? That's a new record (that's never been attempted) in Korea!

I know, but someone's telling me I'll make that record for sure today.

Who says that? What crazy person says such a thing?

This guy!

Oh, this guy said so? You'll put up that new record?

Yes.

You're lying!

Mom!

How was it? I properly stepped on Jin Mok, right?

You saw me play, right?

Why aren't you listening to me?

What?

No, that...

You saw Jin Mok use that sneaky trick earlier, right?

If you made one wrong move, you would have been stepped on. You know that?!

I'm sorry. I was wrong.

Jin Mok!

Jin Mok, I watched your performance well. You improved a lot since last month.

I heard you practiced a lot.

Ah, you didn't come with you parents. Should I give you a ride to your academy?

There's no need for that.

Hey!

You purposely dropped it, right? My sheet music.

You worked hard pretending it was an accident but it was super obvious.

But what should we do? I memorized all the pieces.

Are you bragging that you're a prodigy?

No. How many times do I have to tell you?

I'm telling you that I'm not a genius.

It's just...

that you're nothing special.

What?

Let's go, Mom.

Is this good enough?

No. You still have a long way to go.

Fair and just, Father God,

please do not stay calm anymore. Be furious.

That person has attacked a guiltless me with her harsh stinging words over these many years.

I have held my anger back like you have told me to, but she has showed off her ability even more and looked down on me.

I pray that you will pass judgment on the one who haughtily takes her talent, that you have given, for granted.

That child regards the effort I put in to make up for my lack of talent as trivial.

I am no longer confident that I can

endure that arrogance.

I pray earnestly, please judge her with the fiery pillars of hell

so she may understand her arrogance.

Call the ambulance!

Earlier when Jin Mok was using his sneaky trick, you

should have taken the initiative to stay one step ahead, or you would have been the one at a loss. You know?

You have to listen to what I say.

You have to take lessons from Professor Moon. Looking at his expression earlier he had totally fallen for you. That's what we have to do...

Render judgment so that she may repent in unending darkness.

That you prove that this is a fair and just world,

I pray this all in Christ's name,

Amen.

- Ah, what—- Hey, Seo Jin Mok! There's a huge problem!

Yoon Yoo Seul was in a car accident right now! For real.

What?

The teacher went to the emergency room,and it's a total mess right now.

How hurt is she?

Her life isn't in danger, but

she has severe damage to her eyes and head, so they say she could go blind.

She was on the way to the academy with her mom, and you know that intersection?

The accident must have happened there.

Ah, this is unbelievable.

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Page Turners @ Viki

How is it? Can you see this light?

I can only see... that there is and is no light.

I can't see the outlines.

Do you see me?

Do you not see this? How many fingers am I holding up?

I don't see it.

At all.

There was a lot of damage to her optic nerve from the accident.

There are very uncommon cases where eyesight has returned,

but this situation doesn't look too good.

Don't say such things. There must be a solution!

There are things like cornea transplants, right?

I can give my cornea. I can donate both of mine, so—

This isn't damage to the cornea but damage to the optic nerve,

so a transplant isn't possible.

You're saying she's going to be blind like this?

- Then piano? What about the piano?- Pardon?

How will she be able to play piano if she's blind?

How will she see her music? How will she practice in the immediate future?

Mom.

Mother, instead of worrying about piano, worry about your daughter... that's more important.

The piano is my daughter, and my daughter is the piano.

For her, the piano is everything.

Do you know how special she is?! How could you dare...

to give such a diagnosis?

This isn't right. This isn't it.

Let's hurry up with the discharge proceedings here and go to a different hospital.

I looked on the internet,

but there were plenty of people who had their eyesight restored with surgery.

Mother!

Don't worry. I'll fix your eyes no matter what.

So you mustn't think about giving up on playing the piano.

Since you're quite behind on your practice,

you have to practice twice as much, as soon as you get home, with firm resolution.

Even... even if your sight doesn't return,

think of it in a good way. Rather, your sense of hearing will improve.

You can become an even more outstanding pianist.

I'll go fill out the release forms and return.

Wait for me here.

Yes.

Are you alright?

I have to be fine. I have to be.

I have to make it that way.

Look here, Sir Doctor.

A eunuch? Are you a eunuch?

I don't think he'll have the same problem again.

Thankfully it was only a slight abrasion.

There won't be an issue with your future marriage, and you don't have to worry about future children.

Ah, such a relief.

Oh, I lost 10 years of my life.

But the problem isn't there, it's here.

The spondylolysis is at a serious stage.

Spondylolysis?(small stress fractures of the bones to the back of the spine)

Because of your regular exercises, this lumbar disc 5 area has been receiving an excessive amount of pressure.

But because of this accident, the impact was big.

It seems we'll have to make an incision into your back

and perform a fixation of the fractured area with a screw...

After surgery, there should not be any problem to your daily life.

But...

What about sports?

I think you'll have to give up on sports.

If I work hard in rehabilitation, wouldn't I be able to do sports again?

If I put life or death effort into it! I am confident I can do it!

After the fixation surgery is performed, there is a greater load put on the upper and lower areas.

If you continue working out, you'll develop spondylolysis (small stress fractures) in other areas.

Ah, yes.

For now, you can leave the hospital. We'll decide the surgery date later.

Yes.

- Are you okay?- Huh?

Yeah. Of course, I am.

He says that this guy is alright, so what more can I ask for?

If my back was fine and this guy was damaged,

it's terrible even to imagine, right Mom?

You're right. We avoided the worst case.

Wow, I'm really so freakin' relieved.

Why are you looking at me like that?

W-What?

Welcome.

Are you looking at flowers for your girlfriend?

No, just a friend.

No, she's not a friend either... a girl who is more like an enemy.

Ah, sure.

Can you just make me a rough bouquet with these? A messy one.

You don't have to do it well. It can look messy.

She is your girlfriend, after all.

You chose this flower knowing that it means "eternal love," right?

No.

No. That's not it.

I wanted to take it give it to her when I visited her at the hospital. Do you have something else?

Something that means "good health?"

Ah, this is for a hospital visitation? You should have said so sooner.

Ah, then...

By chance do you have a flower that says

"I'm sorry" or means forgiveness?

You're going on a hospital visit but want something for an apology or forgiveness?

Did you do something wrong to your friend?

[ No Entry to Unauthorized Personnel ]

Oh my God!

I'm sorry.

How do I get to the rooftop?

Someone told me if I go this way, there are stairs that lead up to the roof.

- Rooftop? - Yes.

The rooftop isn't up these stairs but up those stairs over there.

- Do you want me to take you there? - Pardon me?

Yes.

Can I hold your hand?

That...

Then you can just hold onto my arm.

This way.

Just a moment.

No way... she can't see at all?

We're almost there to the roof.

Yes.

Is there anybody else here on the roof?

There's no one else here. Why?

It's nothing. That's fine then.

Thank you.

I'm going.

Yoon Yoo Seul!

What are you doing there?

Don't come. Don't come closer.

Can't you see me... at all?

That's right. I can't see!

Did you come here to confirm that? Do you like that now that you see it?

No, I was just worried about you.

Why would you be concerned? I'm fine with it.

It's great that my eyes are like this now. I don't need to see your disgusting face,

and I don't need to see the sheet music that seem like cockroaches have been poured on it.

I feel just peachy.

It's great.

It was great but...

It was great to the point where it was almost a relief that my eyes are like this but...

She still wants me to play.

My mom says to play anyway.

Even with my eyes like this, in this state, she still wants me to play the piano.

She wants me to play twice, three times harder than I have been.

What kind of mom is like that?

What kind of mom can be like that?

Yoo Seul.

This is all your fault!

After you looked down on my mom 10 years ago, my mom changed from that day.

If only it weren't for you...

Now I'm tired of it all.

I'm tired of pretending to like the piano,

and I'm tired of hating you.

The world with me in it must be terrible for you. It's the same for me.

So I want to stop everything now.

Stop what?

Stay well, Seo Jin Mok.

Yoon Yoo Seul!

Mom!!

What is it?

What's this?

Am I still alive?

- Isn't this the roof?- This is the parking lot, you fool.

I thought you would do something like this, so I brought you here instead.

What? You tricked me?

You bastard!

Do you know what you've just done?!

How does it feel to be stabbed in the back? It makes you feel bad, right?

Your mom would feel exactly like this if she heard what you said earlier.

- What?- Now that I've heard what you've said, you deceived your mom pretending that you liked the piano.

You're the one who did wrong doing the deceiving. Is your mom, who was the one deceived, in the wrong?

Don't blame your mom. Don't blame that guy either.

Sorry for stopping you.

Now that I think about it, it would've been better if you died.

Hey!

Is that something for you to say? Can't you grasp the situation?

Then did you grasp the situation so well that you brought flowers to pay a hospital visit on a girl who can't see?

For someone who looks like Sam Shik (a country-bumpkin), you sure do act like it too.

So you're that girl's life saver.

Yeah, if I wasn't up on the roof then that fool would probably be interviewing a pentagonal box right now (a coffin).

Why would she think those scary thoughts?

She seems to have some kind of problem with her mom, but I really can't understand.

The nurse said she was some big deal piano music kid.

They said she's first in the entire school. I don't get why she has those kinds of dumb thoughts.

People who have everything have more useless thoughts like that.

So that's what happened to her, but why did you go up to the roof?

Huh? Just cause, I wanted some fresh air.

Just cause?

Yeah, just cause.

Why? Do you think I'd go up there to smoke?

Aigoo, put your worries to rest. I would never smoke. You know that, right?

I don't do anything to worry you.

I know.

I know better than anyone else.

Look at that, the weather forecast is perfectly accurate for once.

Then...

Omo!

What's that? Is an umbrella a rocket?

Why's it like this? When did it break?

Ahjumma, isn't this really funny?

How can it break so ridiculously?

It's broken but it's funny.

Cha Sik.

It's so funny that I'm tearing up here.

It's so freakin funny! Seriously.

It's ok, Cha Sik. It's ok!

I'm ok, Mom.

It's so funny, that's why. That umbrella seems just like me.

Wow, why am I tearing up over something funny? This is so embarrassing.

Cha Sik!

What do I do, Mom?

I have nothing without sports.

That's the only thing I have, and you take it away from me like a cheapskate?!

Yeah! That's just cheap! Why did it have to happen?

Mom.

Mom, what do I do? What can I do?

What do I do?

Mom.

♬ Hang heartbreaking things on the clothesline ♬

♬ Stop those feelings from coming back ♬

♬ Hang mean feelings on the clothesline ♬(Resignation from School Application)

♬ Dry out even the last useless tear ♬

♬ Although everyone might forget, the heart remembers ♬

♬ When it come to feeling, after suffering and sharing even the flu of the moment ♬

♬ In the thing which I loved and forgot ♬

♬ which I really loved and soon forgot I have put into a song ♬

Give me a reason, Mom.

What am I supposed to live for aside from sports?

Mom.

Could this become a reason?

I found out through Teacher Song,

that near Seongnam, there's a teacher who gives lessons to the visually impaired.

I will contact that person tomorrow, so let's meet with them.

Okay.

Also, it will be hard to go to school on your own, so I'll hire a helper.

Don't make yourself uselessly obligated asking the other kids for help.

I will attend school with you as your helper,

so don't worry and...

just concentrate on practicing piano.

I asked Teacher Jeong to extend the lessons by 2 hours.

You need to slowly prepare if you want to consistently improve.

Okay.

Mom, can I go to school on my bike?

No. If you get into an accident, you'll hurt your hands.

Okay.

Being carsick is only temporary. You're going to take the sight reading test soon.

You don't know which piece will come up, so look at even just one more.

Yeah, yup, I can do it.

I did it all. I understand. I'll do it.

Now that I've heard what you've said, you deceived your mom pretending that you liked the piano.

You're the one who did wrong doing the deceiving. Is your mom, who was the one deceived, in the wrong?

Don't blame your mom.

If I cancel a couple academy lessons, I can make more time for you.

I'll tell your teacher that I'm going to be your helper.

Mom will follow you around to all your classes and even tell you what the notes are...

Mom.

Yeah?

I have something to tell you.

Cha Sik, wash up and eat dinner.

I have something to tell you while you're eating.

About your father.

Are you saying this is my father?

Why?

Well, he doesn't look anything like me.

He looks classier than I thought he would, and he looks super intelligent.

When he was younger, people would say he could be one of the geniuses born every 100 years or so. Look at this.

Pianist Hyeon Myeong Se

I am this amazing person's son?

That can't be right.

It can, you...

These hands... You were always made fun of for your long and slender fingers, right?

That they're nothing like an athlete's hands.

Yeah, that's right.

What's your ringtone?

Für Elise.

Isn't that strange?

What kid would have a piano score as their ringtone these days?

That's true!

Mom, remember that drama from when I was young? You know, the one where Park Shin Yang plays the piano and sings?

"Can I love you"?

Yeah! After seeing that I cried so much for no reason!

You didn't cry for no reason.

I cried because the music was so compelling!

That's right!

Wow! Amazing!

Whoa! I just got goosebumps.

So I took after my father.

I'm telling you, if you're like him even just 1%, you're ten times smarter and better than regular kids.

That's why, don't ever say that you're trash or ruined. All right?

Okay!

But does my father know that I'm his son?

No, he doesn't.

I found out that I was pregnant with you after I broke up with him.

But why didn't you tell me about my father until now?

Why didn't you look for him?

Your father was too amazing.

When I had you, my circumstances were too pitiful.

I was too embarrassed to find him, but now-

You're ashamed of me, right?

I even think I'm lousy.

Aish. I admit I'm lacking.

How can I call myself a man when I cry like a loser and pop bubble wrap just because I hurt my back a little bit?

I'm so ashamed of myself that I can't see my father.

You're much better looking than your dad.

Mom...

You don't know exactly what kind of person you are right now, but Mom knows.

I know enough that I can't believe you're my son.

You're extraordinary, like your dad.

I'm going to school on my own.

What are you talking about? With your eyes in that condition, how could you go on your own?

I'm doing it because my eyes are in this condition.

I can't rely on you 24/7 just because I'm like this.

Don't worry.

I won't leave your side even for a second, so live relying on me.

- I'm fine.- I'm not ok with it!

Yoo Seul.

You gave up on living your life until now because of me.

Now, I can't even see. If you continue like this, your own life will be gone.

For the first time in my life,

I'm telling you something that I decided on my own.

What I'm about to tell you right now,

don't just say it's absurd and respect it.

Why are you being like this? It's not like you.

What does "being like me" mean?

Being arrogant to the point that it's annoying.

Mom.

Really.

You can act arrogant because dad's genes have given you too many talents.

Pole vaulting was the least among those.

If your words are right, that means whatever I do, I'll excel at it.

-That's right.-Then Mom...

If I find a new path and become a "good enough not be not be ashamed of," great kind of guy,

can I look for my father at that time?

Of course! Naturally!

What are you trying to say that you're stalling so much? It's scaring me.

I'm going to go to school diligently.

I'm going to attend all of my classes regularly,

I'm going to study hard and make sure to graduate.

What? That's what you wanted to say?

You're saying such obvious things so I feel like all I've done has been for nothing.

And... I'm going to stop playing piano.

What?

I can't go as far as you want me to go with these eyes.

- You know right, Mom?- Yoo Seul.

I don't want to fight a losing battle.

So I'm going to give up on piano at this point.

Yahoo!

Hyeon Myeong Se

I look like him.

I totally look like him.

Hyeon Myeong Se

Father! I will meet with you soon.

It's nice to meet you, piano. I will count on you.

I want to stop playing piano.

Your son, Jeong Cha Sik, will start playing the piano.

What do you have to do to get into this school?

Aigoo, at this rate, my son will go to Julliard.

Allegretto?

Ah arigato! Is that a Japanese word?

There isn't even one student who volunteered to be your guide yet.

- I'll be the guide.- Not him, never.

Why can't I do it? I'm doing it thinking of you.

Don't think of me! Don't!

Can't I be that guide?

I dislike you as much as him.

Can't we be more comfortable?

You're acting really unfamiliarly.

Now that I'm blind, do you have an extra margin of ease that you didn't have before?

- It's not that, as classmates—- Forget it.

It doesn't come off as kindness but charity, so it makes me feel like shit.

Two Piano competition?

If I want to participate in this, what do I have to do?

- Be reborn.- Don't joke around.

- Do I look like the type to joke around?- Let's participate in the competition together.

- You must be crazy.- Do you think I'll lose?

What can't be done, can't be done.

The song you played here last time, if I play it...

Acknowledge me.
