All language subtitles for Melancholia E04

ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS
AND EVENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

I'm glad…

to see you get angry and also smile.

So don't shut yourself off to others.

Don't hide who you are.

Really?

Can I really show you…

everything about me?

What is it going to be?

You still won't write an apology?

Make a decision by tomorrow morning.

Depending on that, the disciplinary
committee could open a case.

Don't take it that far.

This isn't worth the trouble.

You understand, right?

I'll see you tomorrow.

Yes?

I was about to call you.

Can you come home right now?

Okay.

What the hell?

Which kid did this?

Who the heck posted
a damn photo like this?

Student Affairs is handling it.

They will take disciplinary action
against the student tomorrow.

Tell me what disciplinary measures
are given tomorrow, okay?

Okay.

Isn't he that student? The umbrella kid.

Yes.

I'm sorry for leaving so abruptly earlier.

I was in shock.

Teenagers these days are…

How could they be so disrespectful to you?

There's so much pressure at school.
You can't discount that.

You can quit if it's too much for you.
It doesn't matter to me.

Think about it.

Make time on the weekend
for a lunch appointment.

-With who?
-With Vice Minister Shin.

Why do I need to go?

Since the minister won't be able
to officiate our wedding,

the vice minister will come instead.
So you have to introduce yourself to him.

Officiate the wedding?
We didn't discuss this.

What's there to discuss?

Who would you ask to
officiate our wedding, then?

I'll get going then. Lock the door.
And take some rest.

I will. Bye.

It's not because you have a special gift.

But you have a perspective on math,
and that is quite unique.

I like it.

The AI research center is doing a study
on the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

I chose a topic covered in the study.

Face recognition technology?

Yes, here's my draft.

I'll take a look at it.

I think you're getting good experience
at the research center.

How about checking out some films,
books or paintings too?

You could find some interesting topics.
You'd be surprised.

Okay.

Ms. Ji.

Ms. Ji.

Gyu-young, apologize to the math teacher.

Tell her this won't happen again.

I'm sorry.

I won't do it again.

All right.

I'll trust that you're being sincere
and that you'll keep your promise.

Okay.

Gyu-young, say sorry to Seung-yoo.

Sorry, man.

Sorry for punching you.

Jeez, you two…

We're letting you off easy this time.
Watch yourselves.

If this happens again,
there'll be severe consequences.

-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.

You're dismissed.

Good job.

I chose a topic for my speech.

You did?

We let them off this time
with a sharp warning.

It wouldn't be good
to put this on their record.

Have all the fake photos deleted.

Don't let it be circulated
outside of the school.

Yes, ma'am.

Seung-yoo didn't get punished this time.

That's a relief.
I thought he'd get suspended.

They're the ones who started it.

Why did they let Seung-yoo off?

He hit you first.
He shouldn't be representing our school.

Why did he overreact anyway?

Does Paik Seung-yoo like math teacher?

That crazy bastard.

I'm going to get him someday.

Move it.

This is a famous apple mango
shaved ice dessert from Jeju.

This isn't edible,
so I'll put it down there.

-It's a very special dessert.
-Of course, it is.

I always think
about nice gift ideas for you.

But I cause you a lot of worries instead.

I heard that Seung-yoo was
involved in a physical fight.

-Will he be able to represent the school?
-Ms. Yoo.

Just competing in the Olympics
isn't Ye-lin's goal, right?

Of course, no. She wants to win.

Then just focus on that.
Don't bother with the small matters.

Oh, okay.

What is this?

An award acceptance speech draft.
Have Ye-lin use it as a template.

Wait. Ye-lin is being trained
by Ms. Ji Yoon-su?

I thought she was working
as an intern at the AI research center.

If people were to later learn that
a high school student interned there,

that could raise suspicions of favoritism.

So you're saying that it's better to say

she trained at school?

Ms. Ji Yoon-su can be very useful.

Remember that.

-Your guest has arrived.
-Okay.

Hello, Senator.

I was on my way here
when the senator called me, you see.

He wanted to have lunch,
so it's okay if he joins us, right?

Of course.

This is Senator Sung Min-joon
of the Minguk Party.

This is my fiancée.

It's a pleasure to meet you.
I'm Sung Min-joon.

Nice to meet you too.

-It's been a long time, Ms. Ji.
-How have you been, sir?

Let's sit.

I'm sorry for showing up
like this without being invited.

When I heard you were coming,
I had to come to meet you.

-Me?
-Right.

His daughter is a student at Asung High.

She's in the 11th grade. Sung Ye-lin.

That's my daughter.

Ye-lin?

This is the paper
on the facial recognition software

we'll present tomorrow.

Go over the part that you'll be reading.

Okay.

Are we all prepared
for the academic conference in Jeju?

-Yes, Professor. We're ready.
-Okay.

And Ye-lin, you'll be assisting, right?

Yes, I just received the material.

Great. You can do a good job, right?

I'll try my best.

Let's take a look at it.

Thanks to Ms. Ji and her teaching skills,

I heard the good news about your daughter.

-I heard she'll be competing in the IMO.
-Yes.

It's thanks to your teaching, Ms. Ji.

I went over Ye-lin's speech
that she prepared.

I see. How was it?

I was impressed. Her draft was flawless.

You're probably full
after getting all these compliments.

I'm very flattered to hear.
Thank you, Ms. Ji.

If I were to be totally honest with you,

it was beyond the level
of a high school student.

It seemed like an expert reviewed it.

You have a very keen eye, Ms. Ji.

We were lucky enough to get a bit
of advice from an expert in the field.

She only received guidance.

The speech itself was
entirely written by Ye-lin.

And she didn't ask for outside advice

because she thought
you were lacking in any regard.

Of course, not.
Ms. Ji is an excellent math teacher.

-Let's drink.
-Sure.

-It was a fabulous lunch, Senator.
-Don't mention it.

How about we play a round of golf someday?

Sure. It'll be on me next time.

I hope your wedding will be delightful.

I'll prepare a nice speech
to give when I officiate.

Thank you, sir.

Congratulations on your wedding.

-Sure.
-Thank you.

Take care.

-Vice Minister, I'll be going now.
-Goodbye.

The senator would like you
to have this gift.

It's an apple mango shaved
ice dessert from Jeju.

Eat it right away
or store it in a freezer.

It was uncomfortable, wasn't it?

Please understand, okay?

The vice minister and senator
are very close friends.

I hope I won't have to do this again.

You said there was another contestant
from Asung High? Who is it?

A student named Paik Seung-yoo.

-Are you helping him yourself?
-Yes.

Well…

Don't put too much effort into it.

What do you mean?

Actually, Senator Sung
added the high school category

-to the Olympics.
-What?

He brought in the Math Council
and got the Ministry

to back the Competition. It's his project.

You're not implying that

the winner has
already been decided, are you?

You knew but still introduced me to him?

It's not about winning the prize, is it?

Just entering the Olympics
is an accomplishment--

The other entrants
are just there for window dressing?

It's also teaching Ye-lin a bad lesson.

How could you agree with this
when you work in education?

I didn't agree to it.

There's no benefit in rejecting it too.
It's for a good cause.

ECO BAG

MS. JI YOON-SU

Don't go around accusing them.

Some of the judges are professors
from foreign universities.

They can't influence all the judges.

Thank you for telling me this.

I'll change my strategy
if this is the case.

-Yoon-su--
-All right.

It's not about winning or losing.

But I don't want my student getting hurt
from unfair competition.

Return that gift.

It's just a dessert.

-Do we have to return it?
-You really think there's just a dessert?

Are you pretending
you don't know what's in it or what?

Let me off. I need to take a walk.

MS. JI YOON-SU

Hey, Seung-yoo.

It was a 2-for-1 deal.

I feel much better now.

How's your speech coming along?

No, I didn't even write one sentence yet.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime competition.
You can't take this lightly.

So I got permission from my folks.

What permission?

To fly to Jeju.

But I have to be back on the same day.

So I'll take an early morning flight
and return on an evening flight.

-You really got permission?
-Yes.

But they said…

I had to win a trophy.

Seung-yoo.

You can do well, right?

You'll try hard, won't you?

Let's try this together.

Okay.

What are you packing for?
Are you going on a trip?

I have to wear a different outfit
for the conference and banquet.

And another outfit for the flight.

You need to have at least three outfits.
Isn't it pretty?

I forgot.

-Oh, Honey. You're home?
-Yes.

How's the preparation going?

I had lunch with Ms. Ji Yoon-su today.

I told her how you were preparing
for the competition, so don't worry.

Just stay focused.

-What about Seung-yoo?
-What?

Him? What?

How is he preparing?

I have no idea. She didn't mention it.

Don't worry. I have everything planned,
so there's nothing to worry about.

I'll have an Americano and orange juice.

-Ms. Ji.
-Hey.

You also brought that bag?

No need to bring matching bags.
Let's not mix up our bags this time.

Okay.

I'm going to have coffee. What about you?

I'm not thirsty.

-You're okay?
-Yes.

-Wait here.
-Okay.

It's been such a long time, Vice Minister.

This is my eldest daughter.

Nice to meet you. I'm Noh Jung-ah.

It feels like we've met before.

-We have?
-Because I've heard so much about you.

Your school sends
the most students to SNU.

Asung is number one in the nation.
Everyone is talking about Asung High.

Thank you for the kind compliments.

-Shall we start playing?
-Sure. Let's go.

Dad.

I'm sorry for being late.
I got into a slight fender bender.

You did? You didn't get hurt?

-No, I'm fine.
-Okay.

Hello. Nice to meet you, sir.

She's my second daughter.

-She's at Asung Int'l Middle--
-Hey!

-Oh, my. Yeon-woo!
-My gosh!

You two know each other?

She's Wellesley alumni.

I graduated much later.

Gosh, it's been so long.

-I know.
-Really.

I had to drag my wife here
to play a round of golf.

But she looks happy now.

-Let's go.
-Sure. Let's go.

I had Yeon-woo come to break the ice.

Let's take that cart.

My driving skills are a bit rusty,

but I'm not a bad driver.

-Okay.
-Here we go.

INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM
OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGY

This is AI-based facial
recognition technology.

You can observe
how the software recognizes faces.

Now please face the screen.

You'll see how it recognizes faces.

Please stand here
if you would like to try it out.

Excuse me.

Next person.
Please stand inside the circle.

Now look straight ahead.

You'll see information
on how the computer recognizes faces.

So take a look.

Just a minute.

NEW POST, PROCESSING

#PROUD OF MY DAUGHTER
#VOLUNTEERING

This is it.

Welcome.

-Are you ready?
-Yes.

This steak buffet is my treat.

So eat all you want.

-Thank you!
-Thank you!

It's an honor to have a famous actress
treat us all to drinks.

The honor is mine, Professor.

-Please be a good advisor to Ye-lin.
-Don't worry about that.

-Let's all raise our glasses, shall we?
-Let's have a toast.

To tonight!

-Cheers!
-Cheers!

Cheers.

You're so adorable.

Ye-lin is so smart and sensible.

You have nothing to worry about.

If you want to be adored,
you either need to be smart or sensible.

Enjoy the food.

Ye-lin, dig in.

-I'll go buy tickets.
-Okay.

Van Gogh paintings remind me
of my dad a lot.

Van Gogh was so immersed in his own art

that he became far removed
from the world. That's similar to my dad.

I looked up Professor Ji Hyeon-wook.

You did?

The math problem you gave me

that I haven't solved yet…

is one piece of his theorem
that he tried to prove, isn't it?

You're right.

A flaw was found in his proof.

So ten years of work went down the drain.

He spent another couple of years
to fix the flaw.

Did he fix it?

What do you think?

It's hard to fathom.

One tiny flaw made ten years of work
on the theorem a colossal waste of time.

And he spent
another couple of years to fix the flaw.

It's hard to imagine
how he must have felt.

Is that why…

you said that to me before?

To not fall in love with a problem…

Be focused on it,
but don't get carried away.

I want you to like math,
but not obsess over it.

Take that outlook on math.

But can I control that?

Not falling for something

I've fallen for?

How did you like the exhibition?
Was it nice?

Yes.

-I need to wash my hands.
-Okay.

What are you listening to?

What are you listening to?

Conference is over. It's a success.

How is it going there?

It was a success.

Relatively.

Well done.

Thanks to you, it went well.

I hope I can use your help again.

Stop dragging dad into doing stuff.
He's old.

Do you feel inferior?

Does the widening gap between Asung
and your international school

bother you?

Widening gap?

Your school can't compare
to the international school.

Did you know this, Jung-ah?

Our international school and Asung High

is separated to
the north and south by Teheran Road.

To the south,
you have Asung High School parents

who are obsessed with sending
their kids to a good university

so that they can get
high-paying jobs like them.

And to the north,
parents at the international school

care about bequeathing
their wealth to their kids.

So?

They don't care about
the quality of education.

Their kids will live with ease
after they get their inheritance.

Which colleges
they get into doesn't matter.

It's a rarefied world
that you have no inkling of.

Don't be mistaken.

Neither of us is from the north side.

We need to claim the Father's title
more than getting an inheritance.

The chairman title.

Don't you agree?

-What do you mean, we?
-Oh, right. Not both of us.

Just one of us.

Could you bring out our luggage?

Let's go.

-You did so well today, princess.
-Yes.

We're not late, are we?

-I have to use the restroom. Wait here.
-Okay.

Ye-lin, what's the matter?
Are you feeling okay?

-Let's go. We'll miss our flight.
-Wait a minute.

We still have time.
Let's have some coffee. Come on.

At this late hour?

-I can smell alcohol on you.
-You do?

I only had one glass of wine. What smell?

Gosh, you're so sensitive.

Thank you, sir.

You had a long day. Did the trip help?

Yes. I'll work on my speech.

Okay.

If you have any questions, ask me anytime.

I'll see you tomorrow at school.

Good night.

Good night.

Okay.

-On the weekend…
-How was your trip to Jeju?

How did you know?

I always need to be on top
of what is going on at Asung High.

Seung-yoo's homeroom teacher,
Ms. Kim must have told you.

I'm sorry for not submitting
a travel request before going.

There wasn't enough time to do it.

Next time, please report such
out-of-school activities beforehand.

And…

you need to be a little careful.

What do you mean?

Our students are very sensitive and keen.

They can instantly tell if a teacher
favors one student over another.

There was that incident
involving Gyu-young too.

There's no need to further aggravate
the problem, is there?

We went to Jeju to visit an exhibition

that was relevant
to Seung-yoo's speech topic.

You can read about the details
in my travel report.

And these are my comments
after reviewing Ye-lin's speech draft.

I'll get going, then.

Ms. Ji.

Don't try to teach
the students about fairness.

We live in an unfair society anyway.
Teaching them such things

will only produce losers
who'll blame the world for their problems.

Try to take care of it.

I wonder how this will grow

under your stubborn personality.

Don't be a shrinking violet. Grow upright.

You can grow tall and strong too.

Hello.

I told Seung-yoo to come too.

I see.

I read your final draft.

I left a few comments but overall,

it was well written.

Thank you.

Wasn't it hard to write?

The topic you chose is hard
for a high school student to write about.

It must have been difficult.

Math was never an easy
subject for me, anyway.

I'm different from Seung-yoo.

What?

-I didn't mean to imply--
-You like Seung-yoo a lot, don't you?

He was born with a gift.

I think I would like him too,
if I were you.

I envy him.

I liked math,
but I was not gifted like Seung-yoo.

Then you probably know how I feel.

How it feels to compete against him.

I was meaning to tell you two
not to compete against each other.

The Mathematician Olympics
isn't a contest. It's a special event.

Later on, you might regret
not having enjoyed the experience more.

I'll leave now
if that's all you have to say.

All right, Ye-lin. See you tomorrow.

Okay.

Ms. Ji.

Can you just go over
the part I did so far?

Sure. Read it.

AI computing can handle many tasks.

That's what I did so far.

It's wonderful.

Here's a lucky talisman.

Calculus.

Yes. That pebble.

This small pebble
is the foundation of numbers.

If you get nervous, hold that tight.

Okay.

2017 INTERNATIONAL MATHEMATICIAN OLYMPICS

I checked that your names
were on the list.

Here are your nametags
and guideline sheet.

When do we have to be at the contest hall?

It starts at 2 p.m. So let's meet
in front of the hall at 1:20 p.m.

Go listen to a lecture
or see the exhibits before then.

Isn't it exciting to be
at the Mathematician Olympics?

I'll see you then.

What?

That's Professor Muller.

Adolph Muller is an expert
in algebraic geometry.

I signed up for his lecture.

What? I did too.

-Let's go.
-Okay.

Hey, Ye-lin.

The teacher told us to come
to the contest hall by 1:20.

She did?

Then you can memorize
the answers until then. Here.

Your dad put in a lot of effort
to make this happen.

Yes? Vice-principal.

I'm here with the Director
of School Affairs and Principal.

-Come to the contest hall quickly.
-Okay.

-Seung-yoo.
-Yes?

I have to go to the contest hall now.

-I'll see you there in 20 minutes.
-Okay.

Like always.

You're so special.

Min-jae, you're special.

Min-jae, you're special.

I can never be as good as you.

Never.

Like always. You're so special.

You're special.

I can never be as good as you.

Never.

Jin-ho!

Jin-ho.

Jin-ho…

-Where are you?
-And your father is in good health?

Yes, he is.

We'll be announcing
the youth science initiative soon

and expand natural sciences
and engineering departments.

We'll have the budget approved too.

The students here today will become
the researchers of tomorrow.

Especially Asung High.
They have many gifted students.

Are your students well prepared?

We can't let such a special opportunity
slip through our fingers.

Since our school is hoping
to be designated as a school for gifted,

we have rigorously prepared
our students for this competition.

That's right.

There she is.

She is their math teacher
at Asung High. Ms. Ji Yoon-su.

I heard a lot of good things about you.
You're Sung-jae's fiancée.

-Congratulations.
-Thank you.

I must go and gather our two students.

She's Sung Ye-lin
and representing Asung High.

Ye-lin, say hello.

This is Minister Jung Il-young
and Vice Minister Shin Seung-jae.

Nice to meet you. My name is Sung Ye-lin.

I heard that Senator Sung's daughter
was entering the competition.

So that's her.

I'm looking forward
to hearing your speech.

Thank you.

Let's go, Ye-lin.

Yoon-su.

I'll be watching the contest.

Call me after it's over.

Isn't Asung High
getting special attention?

I didn't know the ministers
were also there.

It's fine. They just came to say hello.

Do your best.

Did you see Seung-yoo?

-I saw him heading to the lecture hall.
-You did?

Ye-lin, go ahead to the waiting room.

Okay.

Where are you, Seung-yoo?

I…

What did you say? I can't hear you.

I'm sorry.

I don't think I can do this.

Where are you?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Ms. Ji.

Where are you? I'll come to you.

Melencolia?

Isn't it referring to depression?

Well, depression refers to

feeling down and lethargic.

But when you keep spiraling downward,

you'll hit rock bottom.

There's nothing around you.

You reach a state of nothingness.

There's a ray of light shining here.

When there's absolutely nothing,

you start hoping for a new beginning.

You'll notice things
you didn't see before.

Promise me one thing.

Don't fall in love with this problem.

As a mathematician,

solving a problem doesn't make you happy.

Also, an unsolvable problem
doesn't make you unhappy too.

Then why do mathematicians

keep solving problems?

When you work on it,
there's a tingling sensation,

excitement,

or anxiety that you feel.

Whether or not you find the answer,

it's the moment
when you're engrossed in it

that enraptures you.

Seung-yoo!

Are you okay?

I solved it.

I found the answer.

-That's good, Seung-yoo. But what's wrong?
-Later.

I'll tell you later.

We need to go first.

-Jang Yoo-jin of Gayoung High.
-Present.

-Sung Ye-lin of Asung High.
-Present.

Paik Seung-yoo of Asung High.

Paik Seung-yoo of Asung High.

Paik Seung-yoo from Asung High is here!

Sit over there.

Wow, it's amazing.

It sure is amazing.

This way, sir.

Go ahead.

Okay.

You're here?

Yes, it'll begin soon. Okay.

Honey, let's go inside.

What? Director Noh Jung-ah
is already here.

-Let's say hello.
-Not now.

Hi, Director.

Hello, Ms. Yoo.

I'm so nervous.

-Do you think Ye-lin will do well?
-Don't worry.

I saw her earlier and she looked ready.

Really? I'm so relieved to hear that.

-I'll see you afterward.
-Sure.

-She has the same one.
-What?

You bought this for me in Italy, remember?

Director Noh had the same accessory
on her handbag.

Must be a similar item.

This was really expensive.

She wore a dress.

Can I sit next to you?

What brings you here?

I came to see the Asung High students

since you say they're so great.
I'm very curious.

We'll begin the special youth
mathematics speech competition

ahead of the opening

of the 2017 International
Mathematician Olympics.

Advanced information technology
that underlies

the Fourth Industrial Revolution,

such as artificial intelligence,
the internet of things,

and big data,
are all based on mathematics.

Automatic driving
is an important technology

in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

For example, mathematical principles

such as control theory
are used to arrive at a destination.

-This drone is controlled through…
-That's interesting.

…wireless signals.

You have to align the center of gravity
in order to enable

-vertical take-off and landing.
-They're so good.

Archimedes once said that
there are things which seem incredible

to most men
who have not studied mathematics.

Sung Ye-lin of Asung High. You're next.

-Like a car that drives by itself,
-Okay.

a talking android,
and a city managed by big data,

it has the power
to make our dream future come true.

The next contestant is Sung Ye-lin
from Asung High School.

ASUNG HIGH SCHOOL, SUNG YE-LIN

Awesome.

It's game over.

Paik Seung-yoo of Asung High. Your turn.

The next contestant

is Paik Seung-yoo of Asung High School.

An AI supercomputer can write a novel.

It can also compose music.

It has even beat humans
in the ancient game of Go.

Going forward,
AI will open up new possibilities.

And they say it can carry out
unlimited tasks.

But will AI surpass humans
and reach limitless heights?

Are there an infinite or finite
number of stars in the night sky?

It is said that there are
a finite number of stars in the universe.

Well, I could count all the stars
in this painting right now.

Are these lights finite or infinite?

There is also a finite number
of electrons in the entire universe.

Would it be an enormous task
to count all these lights?

He's not making any points.

But I saw infinity within this painting.

The stars in this painting that were drawn
by Vincent van Gogh in 1889

impressed people even after 100 years

and will continue to do so,
even 1,000 years from now.

Although he lived a finite life,

his works contain an infinite quality.

In the beginning of my talk,
I asked if AI can reach unlimited heights?

My answer to that question is

AI

can only accomplish amazing tasks

through formulas and data
entered by humans.

AI that is based on finite data
can never reach infinity.

But…

humans are different.

It's our job to imbue
imagination and creativity

into AI.

Like Cantor, who created the set theory
based on the principles of infinity

and solved many complex problems
and made dazzling progress in his field,

we can dream with no bounds.

And it can also…

free the boundaries of our thinking.

I want you to like math,
but not obsess over it.

Take that outlook on math.

I'd like you to be free
from any constraints.

Infinity…

is not in the far future.

It's within us…

right now.

But can I control that?

Not falling for something

I've fallen for?

Everything sounded muffled
and I couldn't hear anything,

but then I heard your voice.

We've got a big problem.
A reporter visited him this morning.

Ms. Ji, it seems like
you want to make this into a big issue.

I want to make things right.

When did Ji Yoon-su give that interview?

Then back out. Keep your promise!

I can't keep that promise anymore.

Ms. Ji!

What are you going to do about Ms. Ji?

If you cross the line,
you'll leave me with no choice.

It's so obvious.

But you can't hide your feelings.
