Congratulations on getting accepted

Congratulations on getting accepted

Congratulations Dear Song Ah

Congratulations on getting accepted

- Good on you!

- Congratulations.

- My gosh.

- You got a Business degree

from Seoryeong University where

all moms want their kids to go.

How does it feel to be

a freshman again in 2017,

studying music at age 26?

By the way, who on earth

taught you the violin?

Thank you so much, teacher.

Yoon Dong Yun.

If you taught her that well,

would it have taken her

four years to get in?

- Yes.

- That's your fault.

- Song Ah.

- Yes?

Are you happy?

Yes. I'm happy.

SEORYEONG UNIVERSITY

60TH ANNIVERSARY CONCER

DRESSING ROOM

1ST VIOLIN, SENIORS, WOMEN

PARK JOON YOUNG, PIANO

IN 2013, WHILE A

SEORYEONG UNIVERSITY,

HE WON THE INTERNATIONAL

CHOPIN PIANO COMPETITION

Song Ah, is this

a photo of your club?

Our amateur orchestra.

Yes, that's right.

After our regular concert.

Yes, that's it.

Why come to Seoul Arts Center

when we have an auditorium?

My point exactly.

Pay us for transportation at least.

Why should we be honored

to play here anyway?

As if none of us

have played here before.

There's me.

I'm totally excited.

Haven't you played here before?

Why not?

You must've played in an orchestra

in your arts high school.

Oh, you went to

an ordinary high school.

Sorry.

It's fine.

The rehearsal will begin.

Please come to the stage.

SEORYEONG PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA

You're 29 years old, right?

- Yes.

- The same age as Park Joon Young.

You must've gone to school with him.

When he studied music here.

No. We got admitted in

the same year,

but I studied business back then.

This is the first time

I'll see him play.

I see.

Oh, come in. Come in.

This is your revered senior

who just arrived from

the airport after

his North America tour.

Meet Park Joon Young.

Shall we begin?

Wait, wait.

First violin, the very last row.

Yes, you two.

The violins are too loud,

so I need to reduce the count.

You two don't need to play today.

Go home.

And the cellos.

Can't you give me a richer sound?

It says "molto espressivo".

Play it in a high position

on the lower strings.

Why are you still here?

Why are you standing there? Go home.

But

Well

But sir

I practiced really hard.

What?

Can I not stay and play?

What's your name?

Chae Song Ah.

No, no.

Don't apologize. Tell me your name.

My name

My name actually is

Chae Song Ah. I'm not

No!

What are you called? Your name!

Don't you know it?

Did I not give you a reason?

I said the violins are too loud.

Are you the conductor?

You're seated in

order of grades, right?

Don't come last in your class then!

I'm sorry. My hands slipped.

Sit and play.

Let's begin.

Wait, wait.

It just won't do.

You. Out.

Don't play today.

Everyone? Smile.

Song Ah, I'm at Seoul Arts Center.

I'm here to see you play.

I'd like to buy a ticket.

I'm sorry. There are no seats left.

- Not even one?

- No.

Will you show the concert

on that TV?

Yes, you can watch from here.

Do you show all the members

of the orchestra?

No, the camera's fixed on the stage

and only shows the piano.

- It's fixed on the piano?

- Yes.

Thank you.

Seriously? Is Park Joon Young

the only musician here?

There are no tickets

so I'll watch the lobby TV,

but it's fixed on the piano.

I won't be able to see you.

Did you say you're only applying

to grad schools in the US?

Possibly?

What do you think Song Ah

will do after she graduates?

I don't know. She'll manage somehow.

Ask her if you're curious.

No. I don't have the guts

to ask her.

The concert begins in 10 minutes.

Orchestra please stand by.

- Let's go.

- Okay.

INBOX

FROM ANN WHITE

TO CHAE SONG AH

Thank you for your letter and DVD.

Upon reviewing your materials,

unfortunately, I am unable to

accept you into my studio

for the Master of Music Degree

at Daleson University.

The soloist

and conductor will enter.

Go ahead.

Hey.

If you want to watch,

you can stand there.

Tears fell.

The music he brought to life

was so passionate.

What I had inside me

felt so small and shabby.

Tears fell.

You should come to

the reception with me.

The foundation chair will be there.

No, forget it.

I know when I'm not welcome.

I have to catch the last train.

Okay. Get home safely. I'll call.

Okay. So, Joon Young.

This month's payment

You didn't get it yet?

I'll ask my agency.

I'm sorry, son.

But your dad has

changed a lot recently.

Hey. Mom has to go now.

Take care.

Go back inside.

Song Ah, what are you doing here?

Didn't you leave earlier?

Oh, well

Oh, I meant to ask you something

when we met.

Are you going to do the internship?

What?

The summer internship at

Kyunghoo Cultural Foundation.

Weren't you accepted too?

You need to send a reply

by midnight.

I already sent a reply that I'm in.

- I haven't replied yet.

- What? Still?

Come on. Shouldn't you reply

even if you won't participate?

I'm not saying I won't participate.

I haven't decided yet.

Oh, I see.

I need to use the restroom.

Goodnight.

Min Seong, where are you?

I just What?

Hold on.

I'm sorry.

Can I take one more picture?

Sure.

Song Ah.

Thank you.

Congratulations on your debut

at Seoul Arts Center.

- Min Seong, wait.

- Okay.

Don't come last in your class then!

- Wait.

- How was it? Did you play well?

Good job today.

Gosh, Park Joon Young

complimented you.

How about dinner?

You didn't eat anything, right?

- No.

- How about some meat?

It's my treat. Let's go.

I'd like to sincerely congratulate

the 60th anniversary

of Seoryeong University's

Department of Music.

I believe I have

a special relationship

with this department.

Pianist Park Joon Young,

who has honored us today

also studied music

at Seoryeong University.

Also, my granddaughter

is a violinist who graduated

from Seoryeong University.

Too bad Jung Kyung isn't here.

Now that she's a professor

in the US,

I doubt she'll be able to come

even once a year.

When I decided

to establish

Kyunghoo Cultural Foundation,

there's something I promised myself.

Gosh, what a bummer.

You used to like drinking before.

We're at an age where we need to

consider our health.

What are you saying?

Hey, we're still 29.

Oh, I have something for you.

Ta-da, it's a gift.

What is it?

It's a calendar that starts

with your birthday.

- Gosh.

- I made it myself.

Thank you.

CHAE SONG AH CALENDAR

Wow.

Doesn't Dong Yun look

exactly the same as now?

Yes, he does.

It's been years since we dated

for a few months and broke up.

Why am I the only one

miserable because of him?

You better not tell Dong Yun

that I still like him

or anything like that.

Why would I say that?

Cheers.

I heard you're taking a year off

in Korea this summer.

I'm the art director

of the Korean Symphony.

Even if you're on a sabbatical,

how about a collaboration

for the New Year's Concert?

I really appreciate the offer,

but I'm not thinking

of performing this year.

I'm afraid I'll have to decline.

I heard you're playing something

for Kyunghoo Group though.

Oh, that was something

that we discussed a long time ago.

I'm sorry.

You know, that internship.

I haven't decided whether

I'll do it or not.

What? Why?

If I start working,

I won't have time to practice.

Come on, you can practice

more on the weekends

and after work.

But still, you know what they say.

If you miss practice for a day,

you know.

If you miss practice for two days,

your colleague knows.

And if you miss practice

for three days,

the audience knows.

Just think about paying tuition

for your next semester.

Okay.

When will you graduate, by the way?

I don't know.

Why am I even going to grad school?

I can't believe I fell for

something like chemistry.

Me too. Why did I have to fall for

something like music?

I know. I'm worried more about you.

You suddenly insisted

you wanted to play the violin,

and I tried so hard to stop you,

but you just wouldn't listen.

That's right.

The only person who agreed

was Dong Yun.

Everything will be fine.

Don't worry.

How do you know that?

Are you a fortune teller or what?

Because

you're my friend.

Were you touched?

I need to use the restroom,

so don't cry.

- Okay.

- I'll be right back.

What is this?

Hey, Yoon Ah.

It's okay.

This is a violin.

A violin?

Yes. A violin.

Well

A rabbit dances

A fox plays the violin

Do you know this song?

This is the instrument in that song.

A violin.

Oh, I see.

- Hey.

- Yes?

Are you good at playing the violin?

Are you good?

I like it

very much.

I can drop you off on the way.

- No, I can walk.

- Really?

- Get going then.

- Okay.

- Call me when you get home. Bye.

- Okay.

- Bye.

- Good night.

Park Joon Young?

He said no

because he's on sabbatical.

But I heard he's performing with

Kyunghoo at the end of the year.

I understand since Kyunghoo

supported him so much,

but he should work hard

when he has the chance.

Does he think he's still

the Park Joon Young from years ago?

I'm sorry. Did you wait long?

- It's okay.

- Let's go.

How is the director's health?

Yes. She's just having difficulty

going on long-distance flights.

She was so disappointed

she couldn't see your

New York performance

and her granddaughter's

graduation from Juilliard.

Did you see Jung Kyung

at your New York performance?

How is she?

Jung Kyung.

She hardly even calls.

Is it because she has a boyfriend

in the US?

I didn't know it would rain.

Congratulations on your debut

at Seoul Arts Center.

- Wait.

- How was it? Did you play well?

Young In, do you have

an umbrella in your car?

What? What was that?

No, never mind.

I'm home.

Did you get rained on?

I'm fine.

Your sister just got back.

Leave your stuff and join us.

- Okay.

- You're home?

Yes.

You need to study enforcement

to be called a lawyer.

If you feel lost, talk to

my firm's Enforcement Team.

Okay.

Did you play well today?

So-so.

Next semester is your last, right?

Do all your classmates

study abroad after they graduate?

What are your plans?

Why not consider it

wasted time and give up now?

You'll be 30 next year.

Starting next week,

I might work.

What? Work?

- You got a job?

- Where?

Kyunghoo Cultural Foundation.

As a planning team intern.

I passed the entrance exam.

Good for you.

What do they do?

Are they tied to Kyunghoo Group?

Yes. Kyunghoo Group's

ex-chairwoman is the director.

She hosts performances

for young musicians,

and hands out scholarships.

Why suddenly become an intern?

To get a job there?

No, that's not the plan.

Why waste four years to get into

a music school just to get a job?

If you didn't, you'd be working at

one of the Kyunghoo subsidiaries.

They don't accept just anyone.

I tried for four years

because you said I had to

- go to Seoryeong University

- Be quiet.

It's not too late.

- Become a low-level civil servant.

- Mom.

- I want to play the violin.

- Go ahead, but as a hobby.

She must graduate at least.

- This is all your fault.

- How so?

You played classical music at home,

saying it was good for her EQ.

Stop it. What's done is done.

So what'll you do then?

Do you have a plan?

I don't know.

My gosh.

Thanks a lot

for renting me a place.

The director got you

the studio apartment.

Don't thank me for it.

Tell me if you need anything.

If you're struggling

or need something.

No one will help you

if you don't speak up.

1ST VIOLIN, SENIORS

CHAE SONG AH

Don't come last in your class then!

Why not consider it

wasted time and give up now?

My gosh. Oh, no.

CHAE SONG AH

Kyunghoo Cultural Foundation's

summer internship.

I will work hard

for the next two months.

I will see you next week.

WELCOME HOME! FROM NA MUN SOOK

THE NEXT EPISODE WILL AIR SOON

These are the interns who will work

with us for the next two months.

Can you introduce yourselves?

Hello, I'm Kim Hae Na.

I look forward to working with you.

I'm Chae Song Ah.

What?

What?

Did you just say you're sorry?

My name is Chae Song Ah.

C as in cucumber.

"Chae Song Ah"?

I was wondering why

you suddenly apologized.

I'm sorry.

Okay, shall we go around

introducing ourselves too?

Like I told you earlier,

I'm Cha Young In.

I'm the head of the Planning Team.

My name is Park Seong Jae.

I'm in charge of

overseas communication.

It's nice to meet you.

I'm Im Yoo Jin.

I'm in charge of planning

for Kyunghoo Art Hall.

I'm Jung Da Woon

of PR and Marketing.

It's nice to meet you.

- It's nice to meet you.

The other three employees

who manage the concert hall

so I'll introduce them later.

Well then, for starters,

Yoo Jin, you can teach Song Ah,

and Da Woon will be in charge

of teaching Hae Na,

- so work hard.

- Yes, ma'am.

- Doesn't it feel nice?

- Stop doing this kind of stuff.

Gosh, that hurts so much.

FIRST DAY AT WORK

The entrance is this way.

This is the waiting room.

And this is the rehearsal room.

Let's take a look.

This is it.

IN MEMORY OF JUNG KYUNG SEON,

A BELOVED DAUGHTER, WIFE,

MOTHER, AND PIANIS

Song Ah? You didn't go home yet?

No.

What are you doing here?

I was just looking around.

This place is usually left empty

except for days

when we hold a performance.

Ms. Cha.

By any chance

Will it be okay

for me to use this room

during our lunch break?

The rehearsal room? Why?

Well

I want to practice the violin.

I don't have enough time

to practice at home lately.

I was wondering if I can

just use this place briefly

when no one is here.

Yoo Jin is in charge of

the rehearsal room schedule,

so ask her and use it.

Okay, thank you.

Don't forget to eat lunch though.

If you skip your meals

and don't have the energy to work,

I won't let that slide.

Sure thing. Thank you, Ms. Cha.

You're really not going to eat?

You should come with us.

- Enjoy your lunch.

- Don't skip your meal.

Okay.

Oh, my

I'm sorry.

I thought no one was here.

Oh, it's okay.

Do you have to use this room?

No It's okay. I'm really sorry.

What's your name?

Chae Song Ah.

- Yes, Ms. Im. I'm

- Song Ah, where are you?

- The rehearsal room?

- What?

Park Joon Young called to ask

if he could use the rehearsal room,

and I forgot you were headed there.

I'm sorry.

Did you meet him?

Well, I did, but

Gosh, you must've been startled.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

You're good at grilling meat.

- Over here.

- Thank you.

Really?

How did you know this place

was famous in this neighborhood?

I searched hard on the internet.

Song Ah,

you must practice the violin a lot.

Your neck.

I don't practice that much

That happens to people whose skin

isn't compatible with the violin.

Even if I practice for 10 hours,

my neck remains clean.

Oh, I see.

Hae Na, I guess you were

born to play the violin.

Yes.

Why isn't he coming?

Is someone coming?

Joon Young.

I told him to come.

Maybe he's practicing and forgot.

Call him then.

I don't know his number.

He didn't get a phone in Korea yet.

- Song Ah.

- Yes?

I'm sorry,

but can you go get Joon Young?

My legs hurt.

Gosh, my clothes smell.

TAE HA RESTAURAN

- Hello.

- Hello.

I'm Chae Song Ah, an intern

for Kyunghoo Cultural Foundation.

We heard you were coming,

so they asked me

to go get you

since you were running late.

You're here.

Yes. I'm sorry I'm late.

It's okay.

Shall we go in then?

Sure.

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm okay. My legs are asleep.

I see. Then shall we stand here

a bit before going in?

No, that's okay

Then can you just give me

30 seconds?

Okay. 30 seconds.

I heard you didn't get a phone yet.

That's why I was about to go

get you.

Right.

I just got a phone.

Can you give me your number?

What? My number?

Yes, Ms. Im told me earlier

that I should call you in advance

if I want to use the rehearsal room.

Oh, I see.

- Here.

- Okay.

My last name isn't "Choi",

but actually "Chae"

Yes, I know. "Chae Song Ah".

Our 30 seconds is up.

Okay.

"Welcome, sir."

You're so funny, Mr. Park.

So does everyone

from the music department

graduate in four years?

Yes, almost everyone.

Seoryeong University is

especially like that.

They all go abroad to study

after graduation.

By the way, will you be

attending school with us

for the second semester?

Yes, probably.

He had so many overseas performances

since the Chopin Competition,

so he couldn't finish

the last semester.

Right.

You two are the same age.

Song Ah graduated with

a business degree from Seoryeong

and joined

the music department again.

I'm your junior from middle school

and high school!

Can I call you Joon Young?

Yes, as you please.

Okay, Joon Young.

Well, then

Joon Young and Song Ah are

the same age, so you can be friends.

- Yes.

- You can talk freely.

Gosh, no.

Why not? Because he's a superstar?

- I'm no superstar.

- You are.

It takes me a while

to befriend someone,

and you are a superstar.

Come on.

Superstars have friends too.

Anyway, empty your glasses.

Shall we get going?

- Okay.

- Finish what's in your glass.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

- I hope we get along.

- Me too.

CEO Yoon?

Song Ah, I came in second.

I just got the news.

Congratulations. That's great news.

Thank you. How are you?

What were you doing?

I was just practicing.

- Good for you, Song Ah.

- Not really.

I think something's wrong

with my violin.

How so?

I don't know.

Can you take a look

when you're in Korea?

Air Italy from Rome,

landing in Incheon

at 5:30 p.m. tomorrow.

- What?

- I'll fix your violin.

Meet me at the airport.

- The airport?

- The award ceremony is on.

I have to go. See you tomorrow.

What

In Italy on business.

CEO YOON, IN ITALY ON BUSINESS.

Are you shocked to get

an email from me?

I'm coming to Korea.

I land in Incheon

on July 4 at 5:30 p.m.

Will you be there?

I miss you like crazy.

"Like crazy"?

He exaggerates way too much

since he moved to the US.

TRANSLATE FROM ITALIAN

"MY DREAM IS TO BECOME THE BES

VIOLIN-MAKER IN THE WORLD."

A COMPETITION TO COMMEMORATE

VIOLIN-MAKER ANTONIO STRADIVARI

"MY DREAM IS TO BECOME THE BES

VIOLIN-MAKER IN THE WORLD."

"Dream"?

PARK JOON YOUNG TRÄUMEREI

PARK JOON YOUNG TRÄUMEREI

Did he never play it in concert?

PARK JOON YOUNG

PARK JOON YOUNG

There are so many dreams

except for the one

that I'm looking for.

Joon Young, good luck

in the competition.

Hyeon h* and I

will cheer for you in Korea.

Good luck.

Shouldn't you stop recording?

Park Joon Young! Good luck!

Get first place.

Park Joon Young! Good luck!

Get first place.

Jung Kyung.

Jung Kyung.

MIN SEONG

I miss Yoon Dong Yun.

He hasn't called

since he left for Italy.

Are you waiting for someone?

Yes. A friend.

A friend. A guy friend.

Just a friend who's a guy.

Okay.

He makes and fixes

musical instruments.

I said my violin sounded weird

and he said he'd take a look.

I see.

Are you here to pick someone up?

A friend of mine.

What kind of exam do you take to

join Kyunghoo Cultural Foundation?

You write up a proposal

for a chamber music performance.

I came up with a program

and a PR and marketing campaign.

Gosh. That's cool.

Anyone can come up with that.

If anyone could, everyone would.

What pieces did you

put in your program?

It wasn't that impressive.

Can't you tell me?

Brahms, Schumann, and Clara.

Was the theme "unattainable love"?

No.

It was "the friendship

between three people".

Do you like Brahms?

Why

did I ask him that?

At that moment,

he answered me.

No.

I don't like Brahms.

Song Ah. Chae Song Ah.

The person Brahms loved

for his entire life

was Clara, the wife of Schumann,

who was his senior musician

and close friend.

Clara was a musician as well

and played Brahms' music often,

but her husband Schumann

was always by her side.

Just like that, Brahms spent

his entire life alone

by Clara's side.

I found out later

that he

didn't play Brahms' songs.

DO YOU LIKE BRAHMS?

WE'D LIKE TO THANK CHO SEUNG YEON

FOR HIS SPECIAL APPEARANCE.

Were you surprised?

You probably never imagined

the two of us coming together.

That day,

when I performed in New York

- Shall I get married?

- Are you serious?

"Träumerei".

I heard you play that piece

by coincidence.

Jung Kyung, did you say you got

your name from that piece?

Listen carefully,

since I'll never play it again.

If I think about it,

it touches someplace in my heart.

I'm your fan.

Song Ah,

could you turn the pages for me?

Don't worry. You'll do a great job.
