VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.

Between you and Jung Kyung

I mean, between the years you

two have known each other

Is there any space for me?

Why is it the same piece?

Song Ah.

Were you here?

I practiced here today.

The rehearsal room

was double-booked.

Did you get my text?

Yes.

Did your practice go well?

Yes. It went well.

EPISODE 11:

FERMATA, HOLD, PAUSE

How about a drink?

No, thanks.

Don't you have other friends?

No.

I only had two friends.

You and Hyeon h*.

I'll have what she's having.

Why are you here?

What do you want?

What?

I think she went for a drink.

She didn't look too happy.

Where did she go?

I don't know.

Okay.

You always go to

the same places.

Thank you.

Hyeon h*.

You're awake?

Where are we?

You had too much to drink.

Hyeon h*.

Yes?

Can't you just hate me?

I want to.

But I just can't.

Song Ah.

What are you so deep

in thought about?

About Franck's sonata.

Franck's sonata? Your grad

school entrance exam piece.

Yes.

I'm thinking about

switching to something else.

Why?

I thought I could do well.

But suddenly

I'm wondering if it's

something I can't ever master.

I'm losing confidence a bit.

Did you ever feel like this?

There are pieces

that don't feel like my own.

I desperately want

to make them mine,

but they're that much harder,

so I want to flee and

play something easier.

But even if you run away,

it doesn't change anything.

The thirst for the piece

you let go only increases,

and eventually, you feel

tormented and miss it.

Is that reluctance to give up?

Reluctance

Perhaps.

So before you change a piece,

I'd like you to think carefully.

That advice is only

based on my experience.

Okay.

Cheer up.

I'm sorry that there's

nothing I can do for you.

No.

It's okay.

Are you done?

Not bad. Yes.

That's all for today.

Okay.

By the way, did you

kick out Han Hyeon h*?

Not yet.

Not yet?

Why are you so slow

to act, Song Ah?

I can't have him in

my chamber orchestra.

Professor Song Jeong

Hee acts like

Lee Jung Kyung is her daughter

and takes her everywhere.

Do you think it makes sense for me

to let Jung Kyung's boyfriend

join my orchestra?

What is it?

Well Professor.

About Han Hyeon h*.

What about him?

Compared to some of our

other members, he has

a pretty good career.

He'd be a great help to

us if he were to join.

- Why don't you

- Song Ah.

Do you think I'm getting

rid of him because I'm deaf?

Didn't you hear

what I just said?

Professor, it's just that

Han Hyeon h* and Lee

Jung Kyung broke up.

They broke up?

Yes.

Song Ah. Then were

you aware that

they used to date each other?

And when I suggested we

let him in, you kept quiet?

No, well

Song Ah.

Why are we putting together

a chamber orchestra?

It's to get together with

like-minded people

who love music

and to study and learn about it.

That's right.

Yes, and the key phrase here

is "like-minded people".

That doesn't include

Han Hyeon h*.

One uncomfortable person

ruins the whole ensemble.

We must feel comfortable

around each other.

That's why I don't want

him. Do you understand?

Why won't you answer?

Did you not understand?

No.

I understand.

MR. HAN HYEON h*

MR. HAN HYEON h*

Where is it?

I found it.

I'm so sleepy. What did you do?

Nothing.

What's this?

This is my music. Why

did you scribble on it?

Sorry, I'll erase it.

Wait.

You scribbled on sheet music?

Kiss me here as a penalty.

- No. Give it to me.

- Do it.

- I'll erase it for you.

- Once it's done, it's done.

- That's nonsense.

- It's not.

My goodness.

Will you scribble some more?

Don't you dare.

HAN HYEON h*, DON'T DOZE OFF.

Hello?

Yes, hello. How have you been?

The chamber orchestra?

Is it because of

me and Jung Kyung?

Because we used to date?

Well, I guess

I'm not sure

Okay, I get it. You're

just caught in the middle.

HAN HYEON h*, DON'T DOZE OFF.

I'll try a latte next time.

The door is closing.

Jeong Hee.

- Hello.

- Hello.

The doors are closing.

Oh, the girl who won the

Kyungdong Daily Competition.

Was her name Jung Da

Sol? She's a junior.

I heard she's your

student. Congratulations.

I didn't do anything.

She's just very talented.

I know. Da Sol is a

very ambitious girl.

I heard she even received

lessons from a second teacher.

A second teacher? Da Sol

receives extra lessons?

You didn't know?

Can't you tell when she

plays during your lessons?

It sounds totally different

when they receive other lessons.

Gosh, that's not a big deal.

They're just determined

to learn more

so they just receive

extra lessons.

I just let them be.

My name will be on their

profiles later anyway.

That's why they're

second teachers.

Their names aren't even printed

on the student profiles.

That's right.

But still, if they receive

lessons from someone else,

it's so obvious.

No matter how much I pretend

not to know, it's impossible.

My ears know it first.

Let's go back to the beginning.

If you look at the notes here,

the D-sharp alteration

ascends sequentially,

while the third note

which is an F

descends the other way.

Also, the A note and C note

are common notes between the

German 6th Chord and the Tonic.

So you can maintain these

notes on the same voice parts.

Okay. Let's wrap it up today.

Have a good day.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

- Song Ah.

- Yes?

I heard Joon Young played for Jung

Kyung at school a few days ago.

Yes.

Oh, so you knew about it?

Everyone is saying

they were so cool.

I saw them too.

Song Ah, wasn't she

the person who taught

you at her master class?

- Yes.

- Right, it's Lee Jung Kyung.

She's best friends

with Joon Young.

Do you know her?

Of course I do. She's the

daughter of Kyunghoo Group.

She was very famous

since she was young.

She was so talented and

pretty so people loved her.

She got her PhD at

Julliard lately.

My gosh, this is unbelievable.

What is it?

They wrote an article on

Kyu Hee's SBC interview.

She's entering the Tchaikovsky

Competition this winter.

The Tchaikovsky Competition?

Kyu Hee is really amazing.

If it were me, I'd never

enter another competition

after winning the Queen

Elizabeth Competition.

She might not do as well

as this competition.

Wait. What if Mr. Park enters

the Tchaikovsky Competition?

When I was in sixth grade,

I watched Park Joon Young's

Chopin Competition videos

and decided to become a pianist.

I'm so happy I won

the Queen Elizabeth

Competition this time.

I'm planning to enter next

year's Tchaikovsky Competition

MS. CHA

What? My mom?

Yes. I made it clear

I wouldn't do it.

Yes.

Okay, Young In.

Mom, it's me.

Did Mr. Park talk

about some TV show?

No, it's just that it's

something I should decide.

Why did you call Young In

about something like that?

It's nothing to be proud of.

You should've just

called me. Why did you

I just called

because Ms. Cha has been

with you for so long.

Don't call the foundation.

And if you need

anything, just ask me.

Okay.

- See you.

- Hey.

Do you keep in

touch with Hyeon h*?

It's just that I

heard Hyeon h* was

kicked out of Professor

Lee's chamber orchestra.

I wondered if you knew anything.

What do you mean?

The thing is, a lot of our

friends joined that chamber,

but Hyeon h* was the only

one who was kicked out.

Professor Song and Professor

Lee's relationship

is so well-known to everyone,

so people were gossiping

that it was because of you.

What are you doing?

You're the one who didn't practice

and ruined today's lesson.

What's with the c*ck attitude?

Get your bow re-haired

and let's talk at home.

Don't even think

of going to bed

before you fix what the

professor pointed out today.

Do you understand?

Excuse me.

Hello.

Hello.

It's so nice to see you here.

Yes, me too.

May I ask you a question?

Sure.

Ji Won has such a

fragile mentality.

I'm embarrassed to

tell anyone about it.

Professor Song just

compliments her all the time,

so everyone thinks

Ji Won wins all the competitions

she participates in.

But that's not true.

She either wins first

place or is disqualified

in the preliminary round.

I feel ashamed to

see Professor Song.

She's fine usually, but

when she gets nervous,

she's worse than

ordinary students.

I'm so sorry.

- Go ahead.

- Thank you.

It's an important call.

Excuse me.

Park Joon Young.

Why can't you get

attached to the music?

You're making me

uncomfortable and anxious.

What is it? What is the problem?

Goodness.

How can you enter the Tchaikovsky

Competition like this?

Did you see Kim Kyu

Hee's interview today?

She said you were her role

model. What will it look like

if you participate in the same

competition and she beats you?

Will you be able to handle it?

You better take care of it

and come to your senses.

- Okay.

- Play again.

Ji Won.

Can I ask you something?

When you're on stage,

why do you think you

become so nervous?

If you know the reason,

you may be able to find

a way to cope with it.

I'll give you a

few examples then.

You can choose.

Number one.

Because you didn't

practice enough.

Number one. Because there

are people watching.

And number three.

Because you're

scared of your mom.

Which one were you?

Kyung Seon.

Don't you feel sorry

for your daughter

who's holed up practicing

for hours a day?

Jung Kyung's only six years old!

- Just because she's talented

- I wouldn't do this for talent.

Jung Kyung's a genius. We

can't waste what she has.

Kyung Seon!

Are you really doing this

for Jung Kyung's sake?

Aren't you forcing your

unrealized dream onto her?

I don't care what you think.

I will do everything I

can to help Jung Kyung

spread her wings.

Why must she stop when she

has enough money and talent?

And number three.

Because you're

scared of your mom.

Song Ah, did you leave

something at home?

Why can't you concentrate?

What is really the matter?

Are you always so unfocused?

You decided to major in

music much later than others.

Then you must work

harder and better.

Try again.

- It's true that

- What?

I'm not that great at violin.

But I'm still

trying very hard.

Song Ah.

I don't care about that.

This is the music department.

You're graded and put in

line from best to worst.

You knew that

before you started.

Will you practice here today?

No. Today, I'll

practice at home.

I'm a bit tired.

You're not sick, are you?

I'm not.

It's so draining.

- I'm so tired.

- Me too.

It's your friend.

What?

The violinist who

always comes by.

She was right there.

Was she?

I heard the professor

chewed you out yesterday.

Listen.

HARMONICS, 2ND SEMESTER, 2020

The A note and C note are

common notes between the Tonic.

So you can maintain these

notes on the same voice parts.

MR. PARK SEONG JAE

Me?

I'm grateful for the offer,

but why me?

I should've thought of you sooner,

but I was so scatterbrained.

I heard a rumour that you

and Joon Young are dating.

Right?

I thought of you

as soon as I heard.

Let's cut out all

the personal talk.

You're good at what you

do and have common sense.

So I thought it would be great

if we could work together.

Well

Thank you for the offer,

but I can't play the violin

and work at the same time.

Not at the same time. It's

for after you graduate.

Aren't you going to

quit playing the violin?

I never considered giving up.

What

How many years have

you played the violin?

Pardon?

Not as a hobby. Starting from when

you prepared to major in music.

It's under 10 years, isn't it?

Yes.

I'm sorry to say

you can't beat

time. You know that.

They say you become an expert

if you devote 10,000 hours,

but ask all your friends.

I bet they exceeded 10,000 hours

of practice before they were 10.

They would have played the

violin for hours a day since

they were 4 or 5 and were

tutored by professors.

I'm also sorry to say that

you started too late in life.

Regardless of whether

you're good or bad,

you just can't catch up.

I get that you like music,

but I feel you need someone

who gives you realistic advice.

So I said it.

What?

It's confirmed?

Oh, you haven't

heard yet. Too bad.

I'm the confirmed representative

of the Korean branch,

so let's try to get along now.

Let's meet sometime soon.

We must discuss

the reality show.

Shall we meet with the producer?

No. I said I won't do it.

Why did you go to see my mother?

Why do you think?

I went to say hello.

She's the mother of

an artist I represent.

I might as well tell you now

that I met Chae Song Ah too.

Song Ah? What for?

You're dating her.

So I What's a manager for?

When did you two get so close?

What did you say to her?

Are you interrogating me?

I didn't say much.

What would I have to

talk about but you?

Joon Young.

Don't worry.

I didn't tell her

about your family.

Why would I say such things?

Anyway, let's set

a date to meet.

Bye.

"Why did you see her?

What did you say to her?"

Come on, drive.

SATURDAY CONCER

You're seated in order

of grades, right?

Don't come last in

your class then!

You started too late in life.

Regardless of whether

you're good or bad,

you just can't catch up.

You can't beat time.

SATURDAY CONCER

Song Ah.

THE NEXT EPISODE WILL AIR SOON

I heard

you met Mr. Park earlier.

Yes.

Did he say something unusual?

He's not

the type who talks gently.

I was worried he

might have upset you.

He just gave me

some good advice.

He said there are other

paths I can take

besides performing.

He said it's too

late realistically.

Other people have played

the violin for 20 years,

but I

haven't even played

half of that.

He said it's

practically impossible for

me to catch up to them.

And I don't even

have the talent

to overcome that

accumulated time.

Actually, I felt like

I was about to cry,

but what he said was so true,

so I just thanked him

for his advice.

TO VIOLINIST MS. CHAE SONG AH

Joon Young and I

go back 15 years.

Since we met too late

But I'm

just waiting.

Just like how Joon Young

waited for me all this time.

Since I started too late

Will the fact that I like him

TO VIOLINIST MS. CHAE SONG AH

not be enough to catch up

to the time that has

already been accumulated?

- Daejeon?

- Yes.

It's just a brooch.

I really wanted to buy it,

but it's always sold out.

Someone is selling one

that's almost brand new.

I've been scammed often while

buying used goods before.

So I just told her

I'll go get it myself.

Daejeon is even close

enough to commute.

Right, if you go now,

you'll be back before

the end of the day.

I'm so glad I have a smart

person like you working for me.

Daejeon?

SEORYEONG UNIVERSITY

Yes, Joon Young.

Where are you right now?

I'm in front of the school.

I'm waiting for the bus

to go to the bus terminal.

I'll take the three o'clock bus.

Why are you going to

Daejeon so suddenly?

Professor Lee

asked for a favour.

And you have to go to Daejeon?

It's regarding her

chamber orchestra

Oh, I see.

Hey.

If you go to Daejeon now,

will you be back by today?

Yes.

Then you'll probably

be back late.

It's okay. Some people

even commute to work

from Daejeon to Seoul.

Where is it in Daejeon?

- Yuseong-Gu?

- That's far from the terminal.

How do you know?

Oh, right. Did you say

you were from Daejeon?

Well, it's been too long

since I left Daejeon.

But I still know where it is.

Don't worry.

It's still in Korea, where

we speak the same language.

I'll be back in no time.

Are you practicing at

the foundation today?

No. I'm going to Jung

Kyung's place to practice.

Oh, right. You

said it was today.

That's my bus.

I need to go.

I'll see you tomorrow.

You have a visitor.

Okay.

Is that you?

I'm glad I didn't miss you.

What? Joon Young?

What are you doing here?

Didn't you go to practice?

No.

I didn't want to send

you alone, so I came.

Did you come alone?

What about your mom? Does

she know you came here?

My answer

is number three.

I'm so scared of my

mom and my professor.

It's not like I don't

like playing the violin.

I like it.

- But

- I know.

You're scared of your

mom and professor, right?

You're scared you won't

come in first place.

And you're scared what

others will think of you.

But still,

you like playing the violin

very much.

So you can't quit.

How did you know?

I was like that too.

I want to play the

violin with you.

I just came.

Kyung Seon.

I'm thinking of

you a lot lately.

I guess it's because I'm old.

Do you miss your daughter too?

She's starting to look

more and more like you.

She's grown up to

be very pretty.

I'M SORRY, JUNG KYUNG.

I'm sorry, Jung Kyung. I don't think

I can make it to practice today.

I'll call you tomorrow.

I got the money.

Have a good day.

Goodbye.

Professor Lee. She just

confirmed your payment.

Yes.

Yes, I'll bring it

with me tomorrow.

Bye.

Did it go well?

Yes.

Let's go now.

Okay.

But I didn't know how

much time it would take,

so I didn't buy a

ticket back to Seoul.

What about you?

A ticket? I didn't

buy one either.

I'm glad. Why are you smiling?

Let's go.

How about a simple dinner

near the bus terminal later?

I'm not going to

the bus terminal.

What?

Come on, let's go.

Why? Aren't we

going back to Seoul?

This is where I learned to play

the piano for the first time.

When I was six.

It used to be called

"Hanbat Piano" back then.

Until I moved to Seoul

in middle school,

I spent most of my time here.

I didn't have a piano at home.

MOZART PIANO SCHOOL

HANBAT PIANO SCHOOL

My parents were busy

because of the shop,

so I spent all

day in this place.

But I actually liked it.

Since there was no

one at home anyway.

I think that's why I even enjoyed

playing Czerny and Hanon's pieces

when all the other

kids hated it.

Why are you smiling?

It's just that I can't

imagine you playing

Czerny and Hanon's pieces.

Why? I even did all my homework.

Did you colour an apple

every time you played?

They were grapes.

Oh, grapes?

My elementary school

is near here too.

Joon Young.

- Yes, Professor Song.

- Hello.

Are you preparing

well for your recital?

- Yes.

- I'm glad.

By the way, when are you

going to join our chamber?

Oh, wait.

Did you say you wanted to

sponsor our concert first?

- Yes.

- I see. Then

my secretary will

give you a call

in a day or two.

Okay.

I really hope you

join our chamber soon.

Right, Jung Kyung?

Yes, ma'am.

Yes. Have a good day.

A lot of our friends

joined that chamber,

but Hyeon h* was the only

one who was kicked out.

Professor Song

and Professor Lee's relationship

is so well-known to everyone,

so people were gossiping

that it was because of you.

When did you come?

Oh, you must be a friend.

Oh, yes. Hello, my

name is Chae Song Ah.

- Hello.

- She's my girlfriend.

Your girlfriend?

Oh, gosh. What do I

do? I was working.

It's okay. I didn't know

I'd meet you either.

It's nice to meet you.

We shouldn't stand

here like this.

Did you eat?

If you haven't had dinner yet,

you can come eat at our shop.

It's okay, we have

a bus to catch.

Why?

Your father isn't home

today. You should drop by.

- Come have dinner.

- It's okay.

Okay, we will.

Really?

Will it be okay?

Yes, sure.

- Here you go.

- Thank you.

I hope you enjoy it.

- You should eat with us.

- No, it's okay.

You can eat comfortably.

It's Joon Young's first time

bringing someone to Daejeon

and I felt so happy

and asked you to stay.

I'm sorry if I made

you uncomfortable.

I'm not sure if the food

will fit your taste.

Don't worry. I really

love Korean food.

Really?

The food is getting

cold. You should eat.

Thank you for the meal.

Can we get another order

of the bulgogi set?

Okay, sure.

- I hope you enjoy your meal.

- Thank you.

Thank you.

I know it's uncomfortable.

You're such a heartless

son, Joon Young.

We came all the way here

and even bumped into your mom.

How could we just leave?

You never even

brought a friend home.

No. It's my first time.

It's also the first

time feeling this way.

I'm hungry. Let's eat.

This looks delicious.

Eat all you want.

You should eat too.

Oh, Han Hyeon h*?

Yes. He's a good cellist,

and I think there was

a misunderstanding.

So I asked to see you.

I know who he is.

I saw him at the master class.

It's not hard to invite him

back into my chamber orchestra.

But you, Jung Kyung.

Professor Song

retires this year.

If you take her place,

we'll have to face each other

for many years to come as

fellow teachers and colleagues.

I look forward to that.

Which is why I'd like

to suggest that

you sponsor my

chamber orchestra.

Then I'll think about

re-admitting Hyeon h*.

I see you misunderstood.

- How so?

- I asked to see you today

because I thought he was

suffering unnecessarily

due to a misunderstanding.

- But?

- He's not someone

who should be made

hostage to make a bargain.

I almost got involved

and upset you in the process.

I'm sorry. Forget

that we met today.

Get back safely.

Come by again.

I will. I really

enjoyed dinner today.

Thank you.

Go on inside.

I will, after I see you off. Go.

Goodbye.

- Get home safely.

- I will.

Your mother's a great cook.

Song Ah.

Shall we have some tea?

I don't even know

when I saw my father

for the last time.

He's really nice

to other people.

He drinks a bit too much,

but he never gets into fights.

The problem is,

he keeps doing stuff.

He starts businesses

and invests somewhere.

I get that he wants

to do something,

but nothing

ever worked out.

For a while now,

I've been feeling as if

I play the piano to make

money to pay his debts.

The thought that

I don't ask others for help

and manage to pay for

everything myself

kept me going and I

put up with it all.

But that wasn't true.

Director Nah

and even Jung Kyung.

I recently found out that

they've been helping out.

I didn't expect to tell you

this when I tagged along today.

Thank you

for telling me.

I should thank you

for letting me talk.

Actually, I have

something to tell you too.

I'm not here

because of the

chamber orchestra.

Professor Lee bought

a second-hand brooch online.

She doesn't trust the seller,

so she sent me.

I wasn't sure if I should

do such errands too.

But I just bowed and

said okay and left.

So to be honest,

I bought the ticket

to Daejeon thinking

I really didn't

want to come here.

Right now,

I'm glad I came.

Thank you

for tagging along.

DO YOU LIKE BRAHMS?

WE'D LIKE TO THANK WOO HEE JIN

FOR HER SPECIAL APPEARANCE.

MOZART PIANO SCHOOL

Just seeing you

brings me down, Dad.

I don't want to live like that.

Your career as a

violinist ended long ago.

Why can't you accept that?

I can't tell Joon Young.

What should I do?

Here's my present.

- Chae Song Ah.

- Song Hee.

There's a big gap in talent.

People are talking about it.

Joon Young is a celebrity.

Nothing good will come from a

rumour that he has a girlfriend.

- What's wrong?

- Pardon?

- I'm sorry.

- Come here.

Come on.

It's okay.
