All language subtitles for Beethoven.Virus.S01E08_English

Do you know what it means to be deaf?

People next to you will be mute.

You cant converse!

You cant hear the birds in the mountains
and cant hear the waves in the sea.

You cant hear thunder
and cars will ram into you!

Most of all, music will disappear!
Your violin!

Acoustic neuroma?

Its the perfect illness for you!

Hey, stop right there!

Who are you to lecture me?

What did you learn all these years?

You dont even know what a real setback is
yet you act cool as if you've overcome it.

Youre tacky, simple-minded, and vain
to think youre an amazing woman.

It didnt hit me yet, that's all.

You were in denial.

I really didnt know what to do.

Then Ill tell you.

Jump in.

Do you see the lake? Isnt it blue?

Its very deep, and theres no end to it.
On top of that, its murky.

No ones going to help you,
and youll just have to die.

Thats despair, tribulation, and reality.

You need to go through all that
in order to face your illness.

Why dont you jump in?

See? You're all talk.

Fine, Ill do it.

Hey!

Ru-mi!

What's going on here?

That stupid Ru-mi!

Ru-mi, where are you?

Hello?

Hello? Is anyone there?

Whats wrong?

-Did someone fall in?
-Yes.

Someone fell in. Its been over a minute.

How can you just stand there?

Cant you swim?

Hey, Ru-mi!

Ru-mi, snap out of it!

You know how to drive.

You cant swim?

Youre so mean.

You made me jump in the water,
and you didnt even save me.

If it werent for that guy,
I couldve died.

Why were you holding a pole?

Did you poke it into the water?

So I can grab it?

Did you faint?

Im not sure whether I passed out
or was dreaming.

I saw a string quartet concert.

But I couldnt hear them.
Perhaps because I was in the water.

It must have hit you now.

It was similar to what I had imagined.

It was deafening,
and I felt like I was in a cave.

I liked it because it was quiet.

I felt at peace.

But it was a bit lonely.

It was very lonesome.

I felt like I was cut out
from the rest of the world alone.

Right this way.

Why do you have so much wine?

It varies depending on the grape,
weather, and soil.

Is this the most expensive German wine?

Yes.

-How much is it?
-It's 145,000 won.

I see.

How much is this?

Thats 135,000 won.

Is this not it?

How much is this?

Its 95,000 won. Would you like that?

That can't be it.

It must be this one.

How much is this?

If youre looking for cheap wine,
I have 18,000-won wines over there.

Really?

Come take a look.

-Excuse me?
-Yes.

Ill just take that.

The 145,000-won bottle?

Yes.

Are you buying it for someone important?

Yes, please gift wrap it for me.

I have to serve and learn from him
for the rest of my life.

Should I divide it into 12 payments?

No.

Yes.

Did you make this?

I cant believe you made soup for me.

It was worth falling into the water.

Were you always this stupid?

How could you jump in
just because I teased you?

Didnt it occur to you that you could die?

Didnt you say to jump in?

If I didnt, you wouldve given me
a hard time about it.

You believed me?
It was just a slightly harsh warning.

Why did you warn me?

Why should you care whether
a mere orchestra member goes deaf or not?

You usually couldn't care less.

Are you done?

What were you thinking
when I didnt surface?

You looked around, right?

So you could run away
if there werent any witnesses.

You panicked
when someone showed up, right?

In case you'd get arrested
for assisted suicide.

Were you thinking of my requiem
by any chance?

"I should conduct a beautiful
funeral march during the funeral.

Then I could be absolved of my sins."

Am I right?

I thought

I'd never see you again.

I mean I had fun teasing you,
but I wouldn't have been able to anymore.

Why are you so tense?

I see.

Isnt it warm in here?

Ive been sweating...

Why dont you take a shower?

Pardon? Shower?

You jumped in crap water.

The smell is permeating
throughout the whole house. Wash up.

What should I do? My clothes are wet.

Its a little big.

What are you doing here?

Well...

I took a shower and my clothes were wet.

A shower? Here? Why?

Well, I fell into the water

and lost my keys,
so Mr. Kang lent me his clothes--

There was a car accident.

An accident?

Dont let him take it the wrong way.
Shut your mouth.

Thats right, accident.

I went to go pick him up and suddenly...

A car came up from behind

and didnt you say
you couldnt hear again?

Yes.

I couldnt hear
because of the ringing in my ear

and the other car hit me.

Did you get hurt?

No, I didnt get hurt, but...

She was thrown into the water.

Thats right.
I got wet because I fell in the water--

Isnt your car parked outside?

It looks fine to me.

Well...

She borrowed her friends car,
and thats the car that got hit.

Whats with the questions?
Are you saying were lying to you?

No. I was just concerned.

-What happened to you?
-Sorry?

Why did you come back?

Did Myeong-hwan kick you out already?

This is the cost of tuition.

Of course, this is nothing,

but I want to learn from you.

Why?

Well...

Did you hear something?

Yes, Mr. Jung told me...

Why that jerk.

That you bad-mouthed me.

That I was ignorant and pompous.

You told him
to teach this cocky jerk a lesson.

I came back because I was bitter.

I wanted to show you that you were wrong.

Im going to learn all your conducting
techniques by staying right next to you.

Im even going to make you admit,
“Gun-woos a pretty good kid.”

So watch out.

Why must I do that?

Im going to study to go to college
while being a backup orchestra member.

Im going to debut as a conductor,
receive awards, and get recognition.

Who said I wanted to hear your plans?

What will I gain--

After becoming a wonderful conductor,
Im going to go see Mr. Jung

and say you were the one who taught me,

that you were the reason I am what I am.

That the best conductor in the world
isnt Jung Myeong-hwan, but...

Maestro Kang Gun-woo.

Im going to tell the whole world.

Dont smile.

Let's have some wine.
I'll get the glasses.

It's still morning. Forget it.

Gun-woo.

My oldest brother is your age.

I just wanted to call you that once.

I have an older sister. Im the only son.
I dont have any younger siblings.

Ill assist you forever, sir.

CULTURAL LIBRARY OPENING
COMMEMORATIVE PERFORMANCE

Wow, Yong-jae ONeill is so amazing.

Mr. Kang recruited him.
They must have worked together before.

Is he famous?

Yes, he received the prestigious
Avery Fisher Career Grant.

He performed with the London Philharmonic.

He was the first Korean violist
at Julliard.

Hes teaching at UCLA right now.

Talk to me in lay terms.

Anyhow, hes very impressive.

Impressive?

Thats easy. Impressive.

What are you doing? Did you not practice?

How did you not improve at all
since last year?

Have you been slacking off on your tours?

Im sorry.

Let's do that again.

Again.

Even Yong-jae ONeill gets criticized.

How could Mr. Kang be pleased
with commoners like us?

"Symphony No. 9 'Choral.'"
Its time for us to part.

My butt is calling you to be my cushion.

Mr. Kim is a backup member, but
Maestro Kang asked him to play. So we--

He was with the Seoul Philharmonic
for 30 years.

I played at a cabaret for ten years.

The difference is like a marathon,
42.195 km.

It won't happen.

Besides, Mr. Kim is temporarily taking
the place of the first oboist

whose dad has passed away.

I dont see him.

-Did he go somewhere?
-Youre right.

He said he was going to the restroom.

Why hasnt he come back yet
for the rehearsal?

-That was a long time ago.
-What?

Ill look for him.

Mr. Kim!

Mr. Kim Gap-yong!

Where are you, sir?

Mr. Kim!

Mr. Kim!

What are you doing here?
You need to rehearse.

Yes, sir. It's my first day,

so I dont know
where the practice room is.

Where is it?

We're not in the practice room today.

We're performing at the library.

Were performing on the first day?

I knew the Seoul Philharmonic was going
to be different,

but this is unexpected.

Sir, this isn't the Seoul Philharmonic.

It's Seokran...

Why are you suddenly
being so formal to me?

I must have dozed off.

It brought back old memories...

Were rehearsing?

Move over.
Its not like you rented this spot.

Why did you come? You should be studying.

Arent you taking the GED?

This is a library.

I was studying until now.

That guy is Yong-jae ONeill?

He looks decent.

Be quiet.

Really?

I have dementia.

No, not yet.

I had brain damage,

so the possibility of me
getting dementia is high.

What are you doing, Grandpa?

Arent you coming out?

By the way,

this is the ladies room.

I thought something happened to you
because you wouldnt come out.

What are you doing?
Should I wash your hands for you?

Why arent you studying?

Ill leave once you give me an answer.

Whats my name, Grandpa?

Im fine.

Dont treat me like a moron
over a foolish mistake.

I know, but you havent said
my name all day.

Do you remember my name?

Your name? Vivaldi.

Its a joke, I-deun.

I'm still fine.

You scared the hell out of me
because I thought you lost your mind!

I dont have dementia yet. Why would I?

Who am I? Im Kim Gap-yong.

I know. Youre Kim Gap-yong.
Theyre so absurd!

What?

Did someone say I have dementia?

No. Just because of your age, Grandpa.

You.

Does that look like the ladies' room?

The ladies' room was full, that's why.

Pee in the grass if you really have to go.

He didnt hear, right?

Isnt it fabulous?

Beethovens "Symphony No. 9 'Choral.'"

My heart starts pounding
whenever I hear this.

Seokran Philharmonic's start. Rejoice.
It fits perfectly with that concept.

Yes. According to a survey
of the people of Seokran,

this was selected as the piece
they want to hear most.

Sir, are you listening to me?

Id like this score
to be the main theme song for...

Thats impossible.

Its a big-scale score.

What do you mean its a big-scale score?

Are you underestimating
Seokrans abilities?

The orchestra members
just started to play together.

We need to go with smaller scale scores
with substance.

But the "Choral" will require me
to oversee the choir practice

and Ill need guest performers--

Dont you have guest performers?

The ones who pulled off
that amazing concert.

Theyre not even close to
being guest performers.

They were quite good. Why...

Yes, I heard.

Something bad happens
whenever you perform the "Choral."

What was it?

When you were performing
the "Choral" at Carnegie Hall

with the New York Philharmonic--

Yes, it was in 2001.

The concert was canceled
due to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

It was a tragedy.

Yes, but didnt that happen again?

One of the members suddenly
had a heart attack

-right before--
-I said it was an accident.

Yes, but if accidents keep recurring,

doesnt it become a jinx? A fate?

That wasnt all, right? Last year...

Im a lucky charm.

I dont believe in bad luck.
If there is such a thing, it avoids me.

So dont worry about that.

Im not worried about it.

I believe youre more concerned--

Thats right.

I dont believe in jinxes,

but I always keep
my members abilities in mind.

Thats why I cant perform the "Choral."

Didnt I tell you
Im short on members and the skill level

of the guest performers are not--

Why dont you test them?

Dont you think if its a performance
to kick start the Seokran Philharmonic,

we should play something
the people of Seokran want to hear?

Its not like we dont have the budget.

That's right.

-We can get a choir.
-Thats right.

-You're talented.
-Absolutely.

The jinx is a bit of a concern,
but since you dont believe in it...

-Pass.
-Pass?

Cant you perform that piece
if you have talented guest performers?

Yes, my point exactly!

Why dont you test
how good the guest performers are?

If theyre good, then okay?

Hey.

Maestro Kang wanted to see us.
Whats going on?

A test? Do you know anything?

I don't know either.

That's right.

This is a gift for you.
Its from Ru-mi and me.

Hang in there.

Relax.

I just wanted to see how good you are.

I dont expect you to do well,

so those who arent confident
can either rest or leave.

-Do whatever you want.
-Okay.

You wouldnt be taking this test
if it werent for me.

Just so you know.

Do your best. Break a leg.

Its the "Choral."

Its the "Choral"!

The "Choral."

Its the score we practiced like crazy.

Youre going down.

Grandpa, youre a prophet.
This is totally--

Be quiet.

Is there a problem?

Well, isnt this the "Choral"?

How can we play this difficult score
at one try?

Im sorry, but can you change this
to something else?

Gosh, it's so complicated.

I cant do it.

This is so unfair.

The "Choral" is too difficult.
Lets do something easier.

Do we have to sing as well?

Just play it. I dont expect much,
so dont worry about it.

Okay, lets begin
with the fourth movement measure 156.

They practiced.

Theyve been practicing for a month
since they came in as backup members

under Mr. Kim Gap-yongs guidance.

According to my notes, they practiced

-from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. every day.
-Oh my gosh, unbelievable.

That traitor. That snake.

He acts exactly like how he looks.

I want to know what they practiced.

-Pardon?
-Did they practice this and that?

Or did they practice only
Beethovens "Symphony No. 9 'Choral?'"

Well, so...

They just practiced the "Choral," right?

Hang on...

Here it is.

Beethovens "Symphony No. 9 'Choral.'"

"Pomp and Circumstance March,"
Vivaldis "The Four Seasons 'Autumn,'"

"The Marriage of Figaro."

They practiced the "Choral,"

but they only played it once
on October 30th.

Just once.

Aren't your sheet music worn out?

I heard you practiced this all month long.

Hyeok-gwon didnt tell me.

That was my guess, so I threw it out there
and you took the bait.

She refused to get surgery.

She said if she's going deaf anyway,

she wants to play for an orchestra
while she can still hear.

If she doesnt do anything about it,
shell hear for maybe another four months.

Fine, lets do it.

I took note that you practiced one month,
not that you practiced just one score.

Its not easy to do this well in a month.

Youve improved. Great job.

Excuse me. Does that mean

we can perform?

Yes, Ill believe in your potential.

Why? Dont you want to do it?

Maestro Kang is the best!

-Tell Mr. Kim well do the "Choral."
-Yes, sir.

-And add them to the list of musicians.
-Yes, sir.

Practice will start tomorrow morning.

-Yes, sir.
-And...

Mr. Kim Gap-yong.

You know you cant perform, right?

Why not?

Dont you have dementia?

What do you mean dementia?

Ru-mi, do you get what hes saying?

Theres no way Grandpa...

Whats wrong?

What rumor has been going around
that you're like this?

Are you saying
Grandpa really has dementia?

Thats right.

Youre the first one
who brought it up in the restroom.

Dont you remember?

Thanks for everything.

You dont need to come anymore
starting tomorrow.

Im fine.

Tell the doctor.

I dont know what to say
because Im only a conductor.

No, I promise you I dont have dementia.

Lets just say you have hemorrhoids.
I still need you to quit.

Im well aware of your talent.

I asked you to be a regular member
of the orchestra even with your age.

But now, Im asking you to quit.
Why do you think that is?

I wonder.

I have no idea.

You know about the library incident.

I made a mistake at that performance.

I-deun was mistaken.

Im not talking about that.

Werent you lost right before the concert?

You even spoke formally to Gun-woo.

You thought the library
was the Seoul Philharmonic

and went back 30 years in time.

Isnt that clearly dementia?

Did you take a time machine or something?

I dozed off on a bench.

-And in my dream--
-What if that happens during a concert?

Can you guarantee you wont jump up
in the middle of the concert?

Youre a ticking bomb to me.

I cant keep you.

Give me another chance.

If I make another mistake,
Ill quit right then and there.

I cant do that.

Id rather use
a street performer than you.

Theyre fine after performing
ten hours straight.

Talent is important,
but so is the ability to perform.

I need someone whos talented
and physically and mentally healthy.

But youre not, sir.

You have dementia, right?

No, I don't!

Would it be different if I say I do?

Ill be kicked out anyway.

My son and daughter-in-law
living in Japan will come and put me

-in a hospital until I die--
-What will change if you resist?

I can at least fight.

Im an educated man.

I dont care about money,

but dignity, pride and honor
are very sacred to me.

But you think Ill lose my mind?

Youre saying Ill be pooping
and peeing in my pants,

cursing people for no reason,
starting fires, and getting lost?

And youre saying
I wont remember what I did?

Thats hell!

How could I become no better than a dog...

I dont have dementia.

I wont allow it to happen.

What can you do? Its reality.

Hes the same as me.

Whats the difference
between me going deaf

and Mr. Kim getting dementia?

I just thought it was over for Mr. Kim...

Man, Im the worst.

-You idiot.
-Hey.

I feel so terrible. Is there any way?

-Ru-mi. Look over there.
-What?

Grandpa.

Grandpa.

Youre driving me mad.

What are you trying to pull?

Do you think this will change anything?

Grandpa.

I cant do that.

Id rather use
a street performer than you.

Theyre fine after performing
ten hours straight.

Grandpa!

I need someone whos talented
and physically and mentally healthy.

But youre not, sir.

Dont tell me hes going to perform
on the street for ten hours.

Mr. Kang.

Mr. Kang.

Great.

I finally fell asleep
for the first time in two days.

Thanks for waking me up.

Whats the matter?

Do you know that Mr. Kim Gap-yong
is performing on the street right now?

You just hesitated, right?

You felt bad, right?

You know,

peoples true character can be seen
while theyre sleeping.

But you looked really nice.

What will you do now? You got caught.

You got caught red-handed for being nice.

You get hurt easily, right?

Youre very tenderhearted, right?

You think about something
somebody said all day, right?

But its embarrassing
because it doesnt seem very manly.

Isnt that why you guard yourself
so people wont see that side of you?

"Im scary. Dont come closer.
I dont want to get hurt.

Stop bothering me!" Slap.

That was amusing.

Now, leave.

Am I wrong?

There are many different kinds of people.

There are people like you
who are full of sentiment,

so you cant help
but sugarcoat people like me

and there are people like me

who hate words
like loyalty, sentiment, and love.

Tell Mr. Kim Gap-yong

to not only play for ten hours
but for a month, a year.

I wont bat an eye.

Really?

Then Ill applaud you.

There may be people who try to be mean.

But no one in this world is purely evil.

Especially not people
who look sweet when theyre sleeping.

Fine, next time Ill show you
me grinding my teeth as I sleep.

Dont wait a month or a year.

I want you to withstand the ten hours
Mr. Kim Gap-yong is enduring.

If you really dont bat an eye,
Ill dance outside naked.

Saying, "Hurray for Maestro Kang!"

Yes, that will be amusing.

Hope you succeed.

Good luck!

Thank you.

-Thank you.
-Did you call these people?

-Why did you do that?
-You must be upset.

Please love us.

The weak need to help each other out.

We called and asked what happened.

Mr. Kim, ten hours is too long.

How about a 70 percent discount
and do just three hours?

Did you call your children--

What? Still, his children ought to know--

Hello?

Hi, Gun-woo.

-Maestro Kang?
-Maestro Kang?

What about Maestro Kang?

Okay, bye.

-Maestro Kangs coming.
-What? Maestro Kang?

-Excuse me.
-Youre leaving?

-He's coming.
-You too?

Youre such cowards.

I don't care if he comes.
I wont run away.

He doesnt scare me!

-Take her and leave.
-I'm not leaving!

Same here. I cant go. I wont go.

Im a very loyal guy.
Ill be by your side.

She didnt eat breakfast.
Buy her something to eat.

Take her.

Yes, Ill take her,
but Ill be here in spirit.

Lets go.

-No, Im not leaving!
-Youre not running away.

-Its a strategic retreat.
-Im not leaving, Grandpa!

Im not leaving!

-Its a strategic retreat.
-Im not leaving!

-Grandpa!
-Its a strategic retreat. Do as I say!

I swear it was around here somewhere.

Where are you taking me to eat?

Were almost here.

Which way was it?

Is it this way?

Mr. Kim Gap-yongs over there.

I wonder what hes doing there.

What about over there? It looks good.

What are you trying to pull?

I made a bet with Ru-mi.

Ru-mi said youll crack
and accept Mr. Kim Gap-yong.

I said you couldnt care less.

We bet 50,000 won.

Its a lot of money
for unemployed people like us.

So you need to resist, okay?

What are you doing here all day?

Please pack up and go.

Youre pushing it.

-You didnt say anything earlier.
-No more. Please pack up and leave.

-Hurry up!
-Thats mean of you.

People complained about the noise.

-I need you to pack up and leave now.
-Where can I perform?

Go over there or somewhere, but not here.

Take your stuff.

Hurry up.

Please go.

I heard he was playing since 11 a.m.

My, its already been eight hours.

Did you see him lose balance?

I bet its exhausting.

I cant get him any water, right?

No, dont get it for him
no matter what happens to him.

What do you think youre doing?

There are plenty of other spots. Why here?

Please leave!

Im sorry. Just a while longer.

Customers are coming right now.
I won't give you a while longer!

Were creating a fun mood,
and youre ruining it!

Im sorry. I need to keep a promise.

Ill play somewhere else after 30 minutes.

-Im sorry.
-Is it because of money?

Should I give you 10,000 won?

You made a lot of money.
Youre richer than I am.

How much is all this?

Please dont kick it.
Ive had this bag for 30 years.

What?

I cant believe this!

Hey, come here!

Yes, sir.

Do you want to leave on your own
or do you want to be dragged away?

Well...

Lets do this.

Ill play for 30 more minutes,
and Ill play for you inside.

Its Mozarts oboe concerto.

Who plays classical music at a bar?
It's a complete buzz kill!

Ill play you an upbeat song instead.

-Hey, take him.
-Yes, sir.

-Come here.
-Dont do this.

Get rid of this too.

Take your hands off of him.

Move your feet too.

Even my dog doesnt walk over instruments.

How dare you kick that?
Didn't you learn any manners?

Who are you?

I conduct classical music
that kills your buzz.

This gentleman is the first oboist
in my orchestra.

What the heck is he saying?

Do you have a permit to blast music
and solicit people with go-go dancers?

Do you?

I cant believe the nerve you both have.

Hey, get rid of him too!

-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.

Theres no permit for this.
Its 100 percent illegal.

Hes an ex-cop.

Hes an expert regarding these things.

-Report him.
-Sure.

Thanks for your hard work.
This is Kang Gun-woo.

Im at Taepyung Road in the 88th district.

Theyre blasting music and illegally
soliciting people with go-go dancers.

Why arent you reporting him?
He was noisy too!

Why dont you report him?

Theyll mobilize now.
They want to know our exact location.

Tell them to look it up on the map.

Why would I tell you?

Why dont you answer the phone?

Youre not the only one who has a phone.
I have one, too.

Tell them Ill call!

Is it the Seokran Police Station?

Just you wait and see. Im going to call.

You played for exactly
9 hours and 35 minutes.

Tomorrows practice starts at 9 a.m.

Itll be pretty strenuous.
Be sure to rest up.

Are you accepting me?

I'm keeping the back door open.

The hardest is yet to come.

Do you have dementia?

No, I dont.

You have 25 minutes left to perform.

Thank you, sir!

Persistent bastard.

Hello.

Hi.

Im Bae Yong-gi
wholl play the trumpet perfectly

during Beethovens
"Symphony No. 9 'Choral.'"

Nice meeting you. Hi.

-Lets make an awesome ensemble.
-Hello.

Im Jung Hui-yeon. Pardon me.
I look forward to working with you.

Concertmaster--

Hello, I look forward to working with you.

Stop!

Whats wrong?

Horn, you need to rest
half a note and play slower.

Flute, come in on time. Dont hesitate.

Okay.

-That is tutti sforzando!
-Yes.

Trumpet, pose accurately
or dont do it at all.

We received the music today.

For you to expect a perfect performance--

Youve never heard of the "Choral"?

Is it the first time
youve ever played it?

What makes someone a professional?

You're paid to perform!

Do you consider yourselves
to be professionals right now?

Youre worse than the guest musicians!

We must have been good.

"What makes someone a professional?

You're paid to perform!

Youre worse than the guest musicians!"

Wasnt Maestro Kang wonderful today?

He was the best.

-Not because he scolded the pros?
-Most definitely.

What other reason could there be?

Dont we have practice tomorrow night?
What time should we meet?

What about around 5 p.m.?

Sure. Where?

My battery is dying, Ru-mi.
Ill call you right back.

Okay.

So where should we meet?

At home.

Home? Maestro Kang is at home.

Whats wrong with me being at my own home?

Maestro Kang?

You call me that instead of "Mr. Kang"?

Mr. Kang.

-So...
-What are you doing tomorrow?

Sorry?

My music sheets got detached.

Come tape them if you have the time.

-How about 5 p.m.?
-Well...

I have plans tomorrow with Gun-woo.

Really?

I can postpone my plans...

Oh, but Gun-woo cant make it
during the day.

Let me give him a call--

Hello?

Hello?

Hi, its me.

-Our call dropped.
-Yes, I hung up.

I see.

I dont think I can make it tomorrow
because I have plans with Gun-woo--

I know, dont come.

But your sheet music...

What about now?

Why? Its good.

The part you were just conducting is good.

The conducting I did in my head?

You heard that?

Well, I felt it.

Which part did you hear?

Arent you conducting the third movement
andante moderato 3/4 time?

Am I right? Am I really?

Thats cool.

We were thinking the same thing.

I must be psychic.

How was it?

How was what?

You said

you heard the music I was conducting.

How was it?

Well, lets see...

It sounded lonely

and sad.

Kind of like looking at someones back.

Strong but lonely.

But cool.

And cute. Also pitiful.

So I want to hug...

Not you, the music.

Keep on taping.

Okay.

Why dont you smile?

We havent been on a date in a long time.

Sorry.

What? Date?

Isnt it?

We had dinner and watched a movie.

Am I mistaken?

Of course, it is.

Are you mad?

Ru-mi, whats wrong?

Are you okay?

The ringing...

Im okay now.

That scared me.

Who is this guy?

Hes so awesome.

Right, Ru-mi?

Ru-mi.

Ru-mi.

Ru-mi!

Gun-woo.

Where did he go?

Ru-mi!

Ru-mi!

Gun-woo!

Gun-woo!

Mr. Kang, did Ru-mi come--

-What?
-She isn't here.

What are you talking about?

She had some problems with her hearing,

and then she vanished. I can't reach her.

She doesnt have a phone.
Dont you remember its broken?

Shes gone. I looked for her everywhere.

Its been over an hour,
and I cant find her.

You must have missed each other.

Wait inside.

You dont know. Her hearing--

I know. Shes going deaf.

Shes not deaf yet. Shes fine now.
Why are you overreacting?

Shell either call your cell
or our home phone.

Its almost time for practice.
She might be heading there.

Doesnt Ru-mi live at your aunts house?

Whats the number?

Didnt you say this before?

That the hardest thing to know

is yourself.

Its true.

I know now.

What do you mean?

I just thought

she was cute and pretty,

but I realized after she disappeared.

Ru-mi

must have occupied
a huge part of my heart.

I'll go look for her some more.

Are you really okay?

Yes, except for a slight headache.

Actually, I didnt even hit you.

I slammed on my breaks,
but you passed out.

How long was I passed out?

Well...

About an hour and a half?

Oh no, Gun-woo...

Youre really fine, right?

Yes. You can go.

-Okay, I'll go then.
-Bye.

-Take care of yourself.
-I will.

You havent found Ru-mi yet?

Did you go to the spot
where you first lost her?

I went there twice, and she wasnt there.

Did she go home?

Your aunt stopped by, but she wasnt there

and she isn't in the practice room.

Im going nuts.

Gun-woo, calm down.

Why dont you file a police...

Hello? Gun-woo? Are you still there?

Hello?

Gun-woo.

Did you find Ru-mi?

How is she? Is she okay?

Where did you go?

I was looking for you.

Where the heck were you...

Im sorry.

You must have been worried sick.

My Gun-woo must have been really scared.

My bad, sorry.

I thought I was dying.

I...

I couldnt breathe.

Isnt this a bit too much?

Its bad as it is those people joined us,

but that old man supposedly has dementia.

Seriously, and Maestro Kang is too mean.

This is ridiculous.

How much longer must we put up with it?

Lets wait and see.

-Lets--
-We need to do--

Thanks for gathering so late at night.

Okay, lets have fun.

Second movement.

What are you doing?
Are we the North Korean army?

That was emotionless!

Cant you read English?

Dont you know crescendo and decrescendo?

Beethoven was completely deaf
when he wrote this motif!

Cant you do any better?

Concertmaster,
did you not check the violin bowing?

Did you make a bet whos going to be
the first to poke a hole in the ceiling?

Lets start that part going up.

We started it going down.

Okay, Ill go up.

What the hell is his problem?

Hey, you.

What did you just say
to the concertmaster?

First horn, sit down and talk.

No.

Arent they way too disrespectful?

Im going to dismiss you
if you keep standing up.

Why do you keep looking at the time?

Yes, we practiced for ten minutes.

Do you want to go home even though
youre terrible? How can you sleep?

Well practice until we get it right!

-I have a class.
-Postpone all your lessons and classes.

How can you teach when youre so horrible?

After practice, I want the first leads
to stay and synchronize.

Got it?

Why arent you answering me?

Lets start again
with the fourth movement presto.

Clarinet, how long have you played?

Cant you distinguish A clarinet
from B flat clarinet?

Why are you changing it? Just leave!

Youre way too harsh!

You leave too.

I said I'd dismiss you
if you stood up one more time.

This...

-This isnt right!
-Jung-jin!

Let me be!
I need to say whats on my mind!

We auditioned fair and square.

You have no right to treat us like this!

Didnt I tell you every performance
and practice will be like an audition?

But still, this isnt...

Sure.

Ill leave.

I wanted to resolve this
through communication,

but I dont think we'll get anywhere.

Inexperienced guest musicians
and a disrespectful conductor...

My patience ran out.

Isnt this concert supposed to kickstart
the Seokran Philharmonic?

I wish you luck

with half the official members gone.

Hey.

Concertmaster.

Hey.

Hey!

Holy cow.

"Im positive the members
will start a strike."

Third, we would like an apology
of your insulting remarks

and a promise that
it will never happen again.

You didnt expect this from us, right?

You're in no position to lecture him.

Didn't you think the choral symphony
can't continue without the choir,

so I had to listen to your requests?

All you need to do is apologize.

Whats so difficult
about saying youre sorry?

I didnt do anything wrong
to apologize for!

Hes going to lead
your choir practices from now on.

The concert banners are all ruined.

You cant even see the date.

Maestro Kang has never beaten us.

He never once tried to beat us.

So Im planning on apologizing.

Satisfied?

Dont cry anymore.

The concert will work out.

It'll be fine.

Its so remarkable,
that once the music world finds out,

that musicians career
would be over immediately.

Maestro Kang is the one
who had faith in me.

But hes in a tough spot.
