01x16 - Crescendo: Gradually Louder

VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.

While playing the piano,

I wasn't always happy.

I probably thought I was unhappy

most of the time.

But

when I was with you,

I felt really happy.

I realized that only now.

So

I want to be happy again.

I'm sorry for being so selfish.

But

if I don't tell you how I feel,

I might not be able to

stand the pain.

I think

I'll need some time.

I hurt myself

way too much.

More than the pain you caused me,

I caused more pain for myself.

So I'll need some time.

Still

Can you wait for me?

Yes.

I'll wait.

I will wait.

EPISODE 16: CRESCENDO,

GRADUALLY LOUDER

SPICY TTEOKBOKKI

COMMEMORATION CONCER

FOR THE LATE NAH MOON SOOK

It's so beautiful.

Yes, it is.

If this were the 15th-anniversary

concert as originally planned,

Director Nah would've watched

and enjoyed it.

Oh? Isn't that Song Ah?

- Yes, it is.

- What?

Didn't you say yesterday that

she couldn't come today?

Good job.

Well done.

I didn't know you'd come today.

I'm sorry for being late.

You weren't late.

Thanks for coming.

Oh. Here you go.

LEE JUNG KYUNG

This score,

I plan to return it today.

LEE JUNG KYUNG

You gave it to me long ago.

Thanks.

I should go.

Hyeon h*.

When

When will you come back?

I don't know.

Jung Kyung.

Take care.

Don't get sick.

Be happy.

Lee Jung Kyung?

Yes. Professor Song found out

she tutored her student in secret.

Then what happens now?

Now that Professor Song

disowned her,

she obviously

won't get to teach here.

I doubt she can teach anywhere.

Sometimes, when I'd come here,

I'd feel uncomfortable.

After my mom died,

I don't think I matured at all.

I pretended to be strong,

but I couldn't

overcome anything on my own.

I think I was just so weak.

No.

You are not

a weak person.

Someone told me

I'm playing my music

and so I should take control.

That was you.

LEE JUNG KYUNG

LEE JUNG KYUNG

I'D LIKE TO WITHDRAW

MY PROFESSOR CANDIDACY

Someone told me

I'm playing my music

and so I should take control.

That was you.

CHAE SONG AH, DOB JULY 15, 1992

GRADUATE SCHOOL, ACCEPTED

I passed.

I got into graduate school.

Oh Congratulations.

Thank you.

But

I won't enroll.

Song Ah. Take this.

UNDERGRADUATE GRADUATION RECITAL,

PARK JOON YOUNG, PIANO

I don't want to pressure you.

Yes. I know.

I decided not to enter

the Tchaikovsky competition.

Thanks to you,

I realized many things.

So I want to freely play

my own music.

Thank you.

Hello, Ms. Im.

Song Ah, you're here.

You

were very good at playing

the instrument.

You even won first place

at the Daehan Daily Competition.

Why did you choose to work here?

As for me,

instead of struggling alone

in the practice room,

I preferred to get involved

with the people outside.

I guess you can call me

a people person.

But Song Ah,

don't quit playing the instrument

all at once.

Even if you didn't play

as long as others,

you shouldn't quit so suddenly.

Gradually reduce

your practicing time

and say goodbye slowly.

Song Ah, I'm sorry.

I was stuck in traffic.

That's why we all want to work

with you.

But like I just said,

the part-time job

doesn't pay much,

and I'm not certain when

they'll hire

someone for a permanent position.

Due to these practical reasons,

can you think about it carefully

and tell me?

But I don't know

if I'll do a good job.

Song Ah, on the night of

Jo Su An's performance.

You thought of taking off

your shoes right away

and put up with her mean attitude

since she was sensitive

before a performance.

It's all because you thought of

the performer first.

The reason I'm suggesting

we work together

is because you always

think of others first

and care for the sincerely.

That's why I believe you're fit

for this job.

But still, wouldn't anyone

be able to do that?

- I

- No.

If anyone would be able to do that,

why would we be different?

There's a music term

called "crescendo",

which means gradually louder.

Yes.

If you think about that meaning

the other way,

it means you're at

the smallest point.

So you can get bigger and bigger

with time.

15 years ago,

when I interviewed

for this foundation,

I had quit figure skating,

and my self-esteem and confidence

had hit rock bottom.

But Director Nah told me this.

That the smallest moment

in your life, in other words

is the moment when

your crescendo begins.

Can you think about my offer slowly

and tell me?

Yes, I will.

She's playing without

any accompaniment today.

I know.

Don't you think it would be so hard

to play alone for 90 minutes?

Yes. But why is her profile

so short?

LEE JUNG KYUNG, VIOLIN,

B.M AT SEORYEONG UNIVERSITY

M.M AND D.M AT JUILLIARD SCHOOL

Yes?

I enjoyed your performance tonight.

Thank you.

I didn't know you'd come.

I wanted to come.

During your master class

last time

Conviction.

Where does it come from?

That's a tough question.

If you find the answer,

can you share it with me?

After hearing you play tonight,

I think you've already found

the answer.

Thank you, Song Ah.

Thanks to you,

I thought about

why I loved the violin

once again.

Since you need to

stand on two feet

to play the violin.

I liked the fact that

I have to keep myself steady

and not waver when I play.

I think that's what I liked.

Hey, Jeong Hee.

This is our chamber's

establishment performance.

Come if you have time.

Really?

By the way,

I heard that student

who used to help you quit.

Oh.

Yes, I fired her.

She seemed smart and diligent.

Well,

it's not like you can always

choose everyone you want.

I said I fired her.

Oh, I see.

Song Ah, how are you doing?

SONG AH, HOW ARE YOU DOING?

Why aren't you eating?

You don't have an appetite?

It's nothing.

When's your boyfriend's

graduation performance?

What?

Won't he perform for his graduation?

Mom.

We broke up.

Why?

It just happened.

What do you mean, "just happened"?

I don't know.

He even played for

your graduation performance.

We weren't together then either.

He just played for me

as a friend.

I felt quite grateful.

I wasn't a huge fan of you

majoring in music,

but I felt bad at

your graduation recital.

You wanted to play so badly.

It wasn't something

I could do for you.

But that day,

seeing him at your side,

I felt grateful.

I thought that

he'd have made you feel better.

Yes.

He was

TO VIOLINIST MS. CHAE SONG AH

a huge comfort.

UNDERGRADUATE GRADUATION RECITAL,

The final piece.

Excuse me. You can't enter

during the recital.

Okay.

CLARA SCHUMANN, ROMANCE,

JOHANNES BRAHMS, INTERMEZZO

The night before their marriage,

Schumann

presented Clara with

a collection of songs

full of love and happiness.

"Widmung", the first song

in the collection

YOUR LOVE

was later on

rearranged into a piece

without lyrics

by pianist and composer Liszt.

The person

who spoke to me

with music before words

is right now,

with a wordless song,

speaking his heart to me.

You didn't have to bring these.

They looked most beautiful

at the flower shop,

but now, they seem kind of tacky.

No, they're pretty.

Go home safely then.

Okay.

I'll give her a lift

to the terminal, so don't worry.

Thank you, Young In.

Get some rest then.

- Ma'am, let's go.

- Okay.

Take care.

By the way, Joon Young.

During the last part

of your performance,

I cried.

I don't know anything about

the piano,

but strangely, I teared up.

See you, then.

Take care.

Be happy.

PARK JOON YOUNG, PIANO

Yes?

The thing is, we need to close soon.

I'm sorry, I'll be right out.

Yes?

When did you come?

I came a bit late.

So I only heard Brahms

and "Widmung".

Do you remember

when we met at the airport?

My program today.

Schumann, Clara,

and Brahms.

I thought of what you said

when I chose the songs.

I want to play Brahms

more from now on.

You asked me before

if we could be friends, right?

I received so much consolation

from you.

Consolation as a friend.

That's why I

came here as a friend today.

But now, I don't think

I can remain

as friends anymore.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

Rather than the pain I felt

while I loved him,

I love you.

I finally realized

the consolation and happiness

I felt

while I loved him

was much bigger.

2021 GRADUATION CEREMONY

Song Ah.

Joon Young.

I looked for you everywhere.

Is this where you were?

Yes.

Is that true?

- I really mean it.

- This tastes good.

Attention, please.

- I'm moving.

- When?

- Where?

- Next month.

It's about 20 minutes away

from here.

You're moving? Why so suddenly?

They'll tear down this building

and put up a new one.

- Oh.

- I see.

So this will be the last time

we gather

at Intermission.

It feels stranger since

I have to move my workshop too.

That's true.

I understand.

Let's stop being sad and drink.

Okay, let's say cheers.

I'd like to congratulate

Min Seong and Song Ah's graduation.

And congratulations on

CEO Yoon's new beginning.

- Congratulations.

- Cheers.

Mom.

Yes?

Get divorced.

With Dad.

It's not because

Dad makes my life difficult.

Mom, I hope

you

start living your own life.

- Bye.

- Good night.

You'll go to the US to study

even after getting

a doctor's degree?

Gosh, do you like chemistry

that much?

Yes. I like it.

I just love it.

Bring your cello before you leave.

I'll make sure it stays

nice and sturdy in the US.

Okay, I will. Thanks.

Do you really think she'll be okay?

If she quits practicing under

Professor Song

I've already made up my mind.

I think it's more important

for Ji Won

to play the violin happily.

Please teach Ji Won, Ms. Lee.

Can you do that?

Yes.

I look forward to it too.

Thank you, Ms. Lee.

Thank you so much.

Starting this March,

I'll become an instructor

at Ji Won's school.

When the semester begins,

you can change

her special instructor to me.

Okay.

By the way, ma'am.

There was something

I wanted to tell you.

Yes?

I want to lend

Ji Won my violin.

Joon Young, do you like spicy food?

- Yes.

- Really?

This place has a level-3

spicy tteokbokki.

Do you want to try that?

Yes, let's eat what you want.

Okay, it looks delicious.

Joon Young, do you really like

spicy food?

Yes, I do.

Really?

Yes, I do.

For real. I love it.

For real? Do you really like it?

Well, the thing is

I can't eat a lot of spicy food.

I knew it. It seemed so.

The level-1 tteokbokki

tastes good too.

Let's have that.

No, you can eat the level-3.

Just eat what you want.

I'm really okay.

Then is it okay if we eat

something else

besides level-3?

- Ma'am, we'll have the level-2.

- Okay.

That's a good choice.

- Here you go.

- Thank you.

Thank you.

- Do you like it?

- Yes.

Will you really be okay?

If you sell your violin.

Yes.

When I first started working,

I promised to practice at lunchtime

for two months.

Because they told me to take time

to say goodbye

before I totally quit.

But as time passed,

I kept forgetting to practice.

I was busy with work

and had to eat lunch

with my colleagues.

And with Joon Young as well.

I made excuses to put off

my practice

and sometimes,

I even forgot my violin

and left it at home.

The callus on my fingers

is almost gone too.

This scar will fade away soon too.

And I will

be okay.

As you said, since an instrument

has a soul,

now, I want to send it to someone

who can care for it

and love it more.

Okay.

Come to think of it, this violin

is a lot like its owner.

What? How?

When its bridge collapsed,

it endured it strongly.

I'm sure this violin received

more love from you

and was happier after it met you.

Oh, hold on.

Sorry, but I need to go out

for a second.

Okay, go on.

- I'll be right back.

- Okay.

Thank you

for everything.

Bye.

Take care.

Be happy.

Goodbye.

That day,

I don't remember what my wish was.

Because of this man,

go on loving.

That's why
