Secret Love Affair

In conclusion, he's saying not to blame the instrument.

I don't think it's that simple either.

You just have to put your heart into it.

- Can you do it? - Not really.

I read that Richter wasn't picky about the piano brand.

- Yes. - Is that even possible? You do that too?

What kind of piano do you have?

Hanil. But all the parts were replaced.

Never heard of it.

You sounded different

- at the beginning of the fourth movement. - Yeah.

I finally felt something.

- I wish I could play like that too. - Me too.

Try it here.

- Here? - Yeah.

- Right now? - That sounds fun!

No, seriously. Play it here.

So that everyone's jaws drop.

You never know! Someone could fall in love with you.

Tell them to kiss my ass! Music conquers all!

Sounds good. I was getting bored.

Okay. I got it.

You were studying Mahjong diligently.

Did you get better?

Come on now...

Don't hold a grudge.

Anyone can go crazy for a second.

Can't you just let it slide?

I guess.

Hye Won turned the tables at the police station.

What about you?

I'll have to live quietly. Laying low from my husband.

Yeah?

But can you really live quietly?

I have no choice. I could really get in trouble.

So why?

Explain it to him.

Her husband is about to take over.

The old man hides the biggest pot under her company.

Was Hye Won also managing that money?

Gosh...

The offshore capitals that invested in Young Woo's company.

And then they rerouted that money back out after making profits.

Hye Won has all those records.

Oh Hye Won is like that.

I mean, why take it to the police station if you had decided to put up with it?

That's exactly what Prosecutor Kim wanted the most.

Although, it's Oh Hye Won that's more cunning.

Who could have known that there was a twist there?

I thought she'd just...

hold Lee Sun Jae's hand and go to jail.

For love.

Can we not talk about that?

Why not?

She confirmed it in front of everyone.

You should be open about your wounds.

I don't have any wounds.

How can I stop her when she says she loves him?

I just want her to pay the price.

You've lost it, huh?

He's so confused.

It looks like it.

More importantly...

can I stay at this place for a while, Young Woo?

What?

Well, you said that you have to live quietly.

Then you won't need your apartment.

Is someone else coming?

Genuine royal family, the real big shot.

Big shot?

Wait and see.

Hello! Do you remember me?

Hi Sister-in-law.

Oh! I didn't know that you were coming.

You're partying while the sun is still up?

It's not really a party.

What is she doing here?

She's a secretary of the chairwoman.

We're all college friends outside of the office.

- I'm thirsty. - I'll get you something.

What brings you here? Aren't you busy?

I wanted to look around here.

Because Young Woo said that I could use this place as my studio.

I did! I thought I had to reinvent myself.

Thank you.

- Are you going to drink? - Yeah.

Oh.

My brother said that he was going to Hannam.

I'm going to go in a little bit.

Is it okay if I stay here for about three to four days?

Okay, sure.

I wanted to throw her to the prosecutors as bait.

But it's not working.

Oh Hye Won has to give me those accounting books.

But she's letting my son-in-law take small bites out of them.

She's pulling him to her side.

Should I step forward?

I will bring up the case, which was dropped two years ago, again.

And then link it to this case.

Perhaps that could work.

Use us.

We're always prepared.

Would it be alright?

With the foundation situation, we have room for an extension.

- Please have some tea. - Sure.

This tea is very rare.

What about Young Woo?

She will be here.

What's this?

I'd like for you to take it back.

Why?

Because it could be perceived as a bribe.

Have you grown wings?

I didn't mean for it to happen. But it happened.

They are going to start the game.

Alright.

Let's go down.

But wouldn't it upset you?

Watching Prosecutor Kim taking all of my money?

You don't have to worry about that. I won't let anyone take it.

Then it's not money. It's just scraps of papers.

I'm only going to use it as bait.

All I ask for is respect.

Hye Won.

I'll just give that money to the old man.

Just keep what you have for me.

That's going to be difficult.

Hey, kid...

- I see that you've already found your seats. - I'm sorry.

Mr. Hong! Come play with us on the next round.

Okay.

Looking forward to it.

Mrs. Oh is the power in the house now?

She is working with Prosecutor Kim?

Those two will end up fighting.

I'm not lucky tonight.

What luck? You're not playing your hands right.

How about this?

- Call. - I'm okay with anything.

Chairman looks pretty relaxed.

Mr. Hong is blocking it.

Next.

Good Lord. You went all-in already?

Wow, that's heroic.

Isn't heroism beautiful?

Only when you can protect something with it.

I'm not a fan of dying in vain.

- Oh my God. - Wow.

Like always.

Your heart must have sunk.

Why?

You thought she was a faithful dog but she's a tiger.

I'll act like I didn't hear that.

How about I get it?

Who do you think is my last opponent?

I'll see you again.

What brings you here?

I stopped by on the way.

Don't ask me to come in.

I can't. I know you are busy.

You're upset.

How did you get here? I didn't see your car.

I got a new car. A corporate car with a driver.

I'd better go. Your girl has a lot to do.

Unless you thought that I was whining for you to play with me...

then you shouldn't have done it.

Of course you have to make money and struggle for power.

For kids like myself to benefit.

But your method is so shabby.

It's cheap and it doesn't end.

Of course it ends. You want to bet?

Nope.

I already know that I'm going to win.

Okay then.

We will see.

By the way, the quintet.

Quit that.

I went there to just listen to you play, but you don't fit there.

Those are kids who barely made the cut.

How could you say that?

Why does that matter?

I just love how they are getting better little by little.

When Dvorak wrote that piece, he edited the song multiple times to not follow the trend.

Enjoying the music is all that matters.

Fine! Good for you.

Don't walk me out.

I won't! Your driver is here, anyway.

Sleep well.

I will.

The professor took the remaining luggage.

I spoke to him. You can rest.

Okay.

I put the small bed in the basement.

Thanks.

Clean it up.

Okay.

Park Da Mi.

Isn't she pretty when she's sleeping drunk?

She's always pretty, you punk.

Should I tell her everything about my past

and ask her out?

Try it.

Wait out three months and ten days, then kiss her on a bridge.

Then she will forgive your past.

Mak Kee, do you have time this Friday?

Why?

I'm performing with some school friends in a quintet.

You want me to go?

If you're free. I want to meet you in person too.

The quintet means a lot to me.

Shouldn't you invite your goddess first then?

I don't want to talk about that.

I have to go. Talk to you later.

Shouldn't you disband them?

Leave them alone. They are all dropping out.

It's their farewell show.

I'm talking about Lee Sun Jae.

Did you not hear?

- What? - He returned everything too.

I don't know if he's the immature one.

Return what?

I'm having lunch with my brother. Want to join us?

No thanks.

I thought you heard.

He returned the scholarship certificate to the foundation

along with his student ID and the grants for this month.

Get out.

He said that he is going to stop by to say goodbye.

I said get out!

Stop the kids from doing the quintet.

How do I stop them?

Do you want to quit too?

Are you going out?

I heard that your inauguration as the chairwoman is soon.

Yeah.

I'll make it grand.

It's me.

Oh yes.

Are you in the office?

Your chair...

I don't feel like I belong in it.

Then get one that you like.

Was it Hye Won?

Are you slowly regretting it now?

Me?

You were too harsh, you know.

It's not too late to beg.

Lee Sun Jae?

Hello.

Mom. The interior job is not done at my new place.

And I have to move out soon.

Can I leave my things at your place?

There's not much.

I'm giving most of it to my friends.

Yeah.

I want to get everything new for my new place.

Sun Jae.

Sun Jae!

Gently.

You came yesterday, didn't you?

I did.

I heard the after party was fun.

I heard you drank until you passed out.

Just say it! Instead of saying, 'I just stopped by.'

Well it's true that I stopped by.

Then where were you going in the first place?

This wasn't planned...

but could I have a cup of tea?

Go upstairs.

Usually in these situations...

they call it sentence negotiation.

But I don't know. I don't want to do it.

I want to look good until the last second.

That prosecutor...

can he be trusted?

He's just a prosecutor.

Did you set up a time for the appointment?

Yeah, seven o'clock.

I'm going to stop by the beauty shop on the way.

I'll dress comfortably with my hair tidy.

I like this tea. Where did you get it?

My friends gave it to me yesterday.

I will remember this moment

by the taste of this tea.

How will you remember it?

Taste of tea? Remember it by touch.

You're dressed very comfortably.

I'll need to spend some time here before my trial.

You've made a difficult decision.

I want them to remain in the dark for now.

We should announce it first.

Okay, let's go.

There's one more file in there.

Along with Han Sung Sook's original file.

And Chairman Seo Pil Won's paper company documents.

It's Chairman Seo's and Prosecutor Kim In Kyum's

transaction history and details.

Half of the reasons for this decision was personal.

I just couldn't stand them trying to have everything.

[Professor Kim In Joo's musical instrument corruptions!]

[Professor, please! I quit school today...]

[I'm dropping out today.]

- I didn't think I'd see you like this. - I should have visited earlier.

Well you're a busy man.

Sit down first.

Okay, okay.

But this is unexpected.

How did Oh Hye Won even think of doing this?

Isn't this self destruction?

Perhaps, but it could also be her strategy.

It means she has something up her sleeve.

Then the chairman will...

He is out of options.

Which is why I wanted to see you.

Pack my luggage with three days' worth.

Yes ma'am.

The chairwoman will need to take a break for a while.

You must feel disappointed.

More importantly...

the school foundation and the arts foundation are very closely connected...

This isn't something I should be concerned about

but I thought keeping the connection was important.

What does the Seo family say in Hannam?

They agreed.

Anyhow, we will need a specialist to handle the school affairs.

You just need to keep this up until the chancellor election.

Then you should reorganize the board of directors soon.

And Professor Kim can take care of the College of Music.

Of course.

I don't have to notify the chairwoman myself, do I?

Of course not, I'm about to go there right now.

Why don't you go overseas for a few days?

Why are you leaving so soon?

I don't like being picked up.

If I get investigated and end up in detention, make sure to send me some spending money.

Like you need to worry about that.

Seo Young Woo.

This is called winning by default.

I don't know which one of us will get out first.

But make sure you behave.

Don't worry.

- Secretary Jang, you should escort her. - Yes sir.

Forget it. Let's go.

Prosecutor Kim!

Going there directly?

I'm reassured knowing you're leading the counsel.

I will do my best.

By the way, I can't seem to get in touch with Chancellor Min.

My sister said that they were going to Banff Music Festival.

Yeah right.

I heard your sister was going to Hong Kong for shopping.

That's enough.

I'll be going.

I'll see your faithful dog, Hong, at the court.

Take care of yourself.

Yes, Father.

I'm at Hannam.

What?

What do you mean?

One moment please.

Oh Hye Won brought the M&A documents to the office. The ones you gave to me.

- What? - What?

They are going to make a surprise attack with it.

Hello?

Yes.

Goodness.

I won't be sleeping in peace tonight.

Isn't it hard?

It's bearable.

Frankly, I was surprised to see you eat and sleep well.

Because that's all I have left to do.

Have you made your decision?

We will need to strike at the right time.

It will shake the foundations of the networks here.

Just think that we're trying to make tides instead of ripples.

I'll have to leave it at your disposal.

They were already being punished by being scared of what was going to happen.

I had to do a lot of math before handing them to you.

Frankly, I thought about first using it to negotiate terms with them.

But if I did that...

I would have lived as their dog for the rest of my life.

Isn't Oh Hye Won cool?

It's a problem, how cool she is.

I heard it's still pending.

But apparently, she got them with something really big.

Big enough to have the D.A. hesitate.

I have a rough idea.

She stopped by before going there.

Extenuating circumstances.

She said she didn't wish for those kinds of things.

That's what she thinks.

The sentence itself won't be as long.

But it will be a year and a half.

It's long isn't it?

I have homework for you until then.

The song I just played.

Try winning prize money with it.

I think you'll do fine with it.

Hye Won will like it too.

Did you receive some kind of offer?

Think of it as practice before the Busoni Competition.

The expenses will be covered by the Emory Foundation.

When did you order Oh Hye Won to cancel the foundation's trust fund?

About four months ago.

I don't remember the exact date.

Was it after this event that you suspected Oh Hye Won's intention to flee?

I definitely remember that.

Continue testifying.

Hye Won... excuse me.

Oh Hye Won had never been out of reach for longer than an hour before that.

But starting from Friday night that week, she didn't answer my calls.

Is that why you had her followed?

As you know...

I could not do anything by myself without her as my staff.

- I had no choice but to... - Understood.

The defense would like to call Lee Sun Jae as a witness.

Witness, you may leave the stand.

Overruled.

The court is in recess for ten minutes.

What?

Why didn't he testify?

According to Se Jin, the witness summon was overruled.

He should confess his crime in public!

There's no point if he doesn't.

Wouldn't it be too big of a scandal?

What?

Yes!

Did you gather all of Lee Sun Jae's paperwork?

Yes.

Hey Joon Hyung, you're here.

Why didn't you go?

Oh... my wife didn't...

Some friendship you have.

Like that's something to be proud of.

I think Hye Won is the winner, no matter what.

Your life and my husband's life are ruined.

You're always worried about it being uncovered.

She's the real big fox.

Defendant, give your final testimony.

I want to focus on myself.

Chairwoman Han Sung Sook...

Director Hong Tae Young, who is sitting in the place of Chairman Seo Pil Won...

and...

Managing Director Kim In Kyum who is leading the defense counsel...

I'm not interested in what punishment they'll receive.

Neither do I intend to seek a reduced sentence by claiming that I was hired for my crimes.

Every crime I have committed was not forced.

I solely acted out of my own volition.

It was wrong.

Can she accuse herself like that?

Isn't it normal to plea innocence?

Thanks to that, I enjoyed the luxuries that I didn't deserve.

Corporate credit card...

house, cars, employees under the foundation's name.

They were the luxuries I could not have possibly gotten on my own.

So I wanted to make them mine.

Even in the world of music which I had given up...

I wanted to exert my influence.

As if I was born with such rights...

As if they were embedded in my genes...

Something that no one could take away from me.

Then one day...

in my life, very unexpectedly...

a progress report of my life was in front of me.

Then the values that I had long forgotten asked me a question.

How will I live the rest of my life?

I vividly remember that very moment.

It was a highlight of my life.

It was the moment when, for the very first time in my life...

someone devoted himself just for me.

He didn't give up his life for me

or give a romantic confession.

He just...

busily wiped the floor of his place.

All he did was...

try to provide a clean seat for me.

But then I realized...

that I had never received...

such devotion from anyone.

That I had even considered myself as a means for success.

Me... who had abused myself into misery.

Furthermore...

I hurt countless people during that time

and put them into despair.

So I intend to accept my sentence.

Regardless of the sentence you give me...

I will not appeal to the court. That is all.

You know that girl.

I heard she's got more than ten years with all of her charges together.

I heard that the prosecutor made a deal so that he can catch a bigger fish.

Did she betray her boss?

She wanted to do everything secretly.

Then she got caught having an affair with a young boy.

She's crazy.

Who's snoring?

It's her.

What?

I hate seeing a newcomer being so comfortable.

No one likes it.

Just trying to cut your hair.

Thanks sisters.

Just don't cut my neck.

You still want to live?

Of course.

Sleeping in peace is sweeter than honey.

Where's your respect?

This is for messing with a young boy.

My son is 20 years old exactly.

While you're at it...

give me a buzz cut.

Let's do that.

Hey.

My cellmates gave me a two dollar cut.

I wanted to get a trim before seeing you.

How does it look?

What?

Am I so pretty that it drives you crazy?

It looks good on you.

I heard you're going to the finals.

I'll bring you the prize money.

It will pay for our getaway plane.

That's going to leave a mark.

People will gossip about me making you work.

You said that that's how I steal the rich's money.

Good! You may now leave, my apprentice. I have nothing more to teach you.

You can forget about me.

You have done... everything you could for me.

You loved me.

You let me lose it all.

I could've never done it on my own.

So I'm thankful.

It's okay for you to leave.

Where would I go when my home is here?

I don't know if it'll be a year or ten years.

But we should give our relationship a shot at least.

We will have fierce fights on some days.

We will stick together all day on other days.

If we break up without even giving it a shot...

it's just too big of a waste.

Okay.

Why not?

And you're too pretty.

Rondo A Minor.

I start the day playing this piece.

Whether it's sunny or raining, whether I feel joyful or gloomy.

I tell the story of the day every day.

And I say that it's life.

It's the secret of Mozart.

It's in an undertone, but it's definitely not a surrender.

Calmly look at it. Look deeply into it, and try loving it.

That's what it whispers.

You don't play this song. You touch it.

There are about 2770 notes.

And I guess there are a little more than 500 chords?

I touch you in such a way, every day.

You... terribly sexy you.

I'll be back.
