Episode 12
Ji Ho said he will be absent for this competition.
Absent? Is he going to give up just like that?
If my brother is giving up, then do I have take part in the competition?
I will not give up.
I will do it. I will never give up the contest!
Good.
Now that we are having the competition, I hope you will compete properly after being well prepared.
There are 2 missions. The first is to play the world's hardest music.
Pardon?
Second, perform to make an ordinary person who doesn't know anything about classical music to enjoy it. That's it.
Sunbaenim. It doesn't make sense to decide a composer's successor through a piano recital. Perform the hardest piece in the world, that too.
It's too unfair to In Ha.
I decide the method of the contest.
I will send you the music sheet after deciding the music that fits each of you.
If you have any complaints, you can give up the contest.
Are you really going to participate in the contest?
Yes. I'm going to do it.
Why did your mind change?
Becoming the successor was my longtime dream. But the reason to give up that dream is gone.
I asked you so much to give up becoming the successor, that one thing... Do you have to do this?
It's just like you, Yoo Ji Ho. Always stabbing people's backs.
I lost my position as the successor unfairly without any fault of mine.
To prove my innocence, the only way is to become the successor.
It's a shame the opponent is you, but there is nothing I can do about it.
That's enough. I didn't want to take what you left behind anyways.
You will regret not giving it up. I will make that happen.
You wait and see.
Is that really so?
Because of the pajama, she saved me thinking I was In Ha?
So it was by accident? So it was a mistake?
After doing that you deceived me and acted like a good mother to me for 14 years. Is that so?
He left his lunch bag.
He went out quickly in the morning...
The phone is turned off. You will be connected to voice mail...
Is that Jung Woo? I am Woo Jin's mother. I couldn't get through to Woo Jin. Are you with him?
What?
What is that supposed to mean?
He dropped out?
What happened? Did you figure out Professor Ha's moves?
He keeps meeting musical experts. It seems he is meeting them secretly one at a time in his room.
They are definitely the judges to appear in the contest.
Get a hold of the list by whatever means. Without a mistake and quietly.
I understand, President.
Hello?
Yes, I am Chae Young Rang.
What? You got the LP disc?
Where is that?
Welcome!
I came because of the phone call. The person said he has the record I was looking for.
I will get the President for you. Please wait here for a moment.
Alright.
You are looking for the first album of Dinu Lipatti.
Yes. That record I was looking for...
Wait a second.
It won't take long. Wait.
The Subtitles brought to you by The Magic Fingers Team @ viki.com
This was what you were looking for, right?
Take it. I don't need it anymore.
You haven't changed at all.
I thought I would meet you at least once while I was living.
If I knew that day was today, I should have worn better clothes.
How...
...have you been?
A courier came for you.
That's Hyung's, right?
Yes.
Just give it to me. I'll give it to him.
Mine is Goyescas. Yoo Ji Ho's is Islamei.
He really did send the hardest music to Ji Ho to play.
Gaspard De La Nuit.
Yes, it was an unfair game anyway.
There is nothing cowardly about this.
Don't forget it.
The most embarrassing thing is losing to that jerk, Yoo Ji Ho.
When did you come to Seoul?
It's been awhile. After you left me like that...
I was lost for a long time.
Then I met an appropriate woman and I got married.
I came back to Korea and live like this doing what I like to do.
So... you got married.
Does your wife work here also?
She died a few years back. After suffering 2 whole years.
What?
She was a kind woman but she suffered a lot because of me.
I didn't give her my heart.
But why are you looking for this album? Didn't I give it to you as a present when we were in U.S.?
Was that so?
I forgot since it has been such a long time.
My son does music and he wanted it.
I think I should be going. I was here for too long.
Stay well.
Wait!
Can you call me when you think of me once in a while?
If you don't feel burdened, I would like to see you again.
We won't be meeting again.
You will come back. Not too far away. Soon.

Is this your fountain pen?
No. I got it as a present from my President.
It was definitely the same.
How did this happen?
How can there be a same fountain pen?
How is it that Executive Manager Yoo comes home early?
Because Professor Ha said he sent the mission song.
Really! Do you have to do that competition or whatever?
The best plan is to stay low when a storm approaches.
Why do you want to get hit by it in the middle of the sea?
It is too late to give up.
No matter what the result is, I will be hurt regardless.
There is one thing that I want to check.
Gaspard De La Nuit?
Mine is Goyescas.
It is like Professor Ha to chose the most difficult pieces.
But of course it is a disadvantageous condition for me.
It is a test for a composer.
I am sure he won't just look at piano techniques.
If you follow the intention of the composer well, it is not exactly a disadvantageous competition for you.
I don't care about things like that.
Because a performer doesn\u2019t quibble over the piece.
If we are going to do this, bring it on properly.
Don\u2019t arrogantly think about losing for me.
If I wasn't going to take this seriously, I wouldn't have participated in the contest.
You don't have to worry about that.
Really? This will become a fun contest.
I wonder what song will be produced if a genius also practices like crazy?
Gaspard De La Nuit?
It is a difficult song but not something Ji Ho will find difficult.
What is Professor Ha's thought of doing a contest like this?
If he is giving Ji Ho an advantageous piano mission because he can't forget Ji Ho...
I can't let it go.
I should at least complain about it now and get the mission piece changed.
Don't worry about it.
Your son won't be defeated this easily.
Such a difficult piece is impossible with 9 fingers.
No.
Now my 9 fingers can become my strength and not my weakness.
My little finger which doesn\u2019t move on its own can move the heart of the public.
I think I can play any piece with my 9 fingers now.
Right! I have a present to give you.
It's the first album of Dinu Lipatti. You wanted it.
How and where did you get this?
I am giving your present for becoming the successor ahead of time.
Because my son says he is confident.
Seung Hee.
Mom, why are you drinking so much? Is something the matter?
Woo Jin!
Since when were your parents nothing to you?
Is it OK for you to throw away your dad's only dream just like that?
How can you see your father's face? How can you do this?
When did you find out?
I will not say anything more.
Wear a doctor's gown after graduating properly.
If you disobey me, I will not see you even after I die.
I will not go back. I will not become a doctor.
What?
Why are you doing this?
Did you already forget how much your father wanted you to become a doctor?
Why is it so important to become a lousy doctor?
I don't want to become a doctor through Da Mi and your blood and tears. I will never go back.
Then? Are you going to get a job?
I need to clear dad of his false charges.
I will prove dad's innocence with my own hands.
I don't want my kid to experience such hardship. I'd rather die.
If I make you two help in solving dad's business...
I think I will really lose the hope to live on.
No matter what you say, I will not change.
I already dropped out and there is no way for me to go back.
I am the head of this family now.
I don't want to show myself being a cowardly son to father anymore.
I will take responsibility over mom and Da Mi.
Please don't do that and go back to school, huh?
If I plead the school...
I already got hired.
It is a construction company. The pay is good. It is more than enough for the 3 of us to live on.
Get hired?
From now on, I will earn money and I will take revenge.
No matter how difficult it is.
I can never give up till Chae Young Rang pleads forgiveness to dad on bended knees.
Chae Young Rang is such a scary person.
What if you get hurt by doing that?
Trust me.
What you worry about won't happen.
It is more important to resolve dad's deep sorrow than to become a doctor...
I wish you would tel me this.
Sorry for not consulting you before.
What are you thinking about?
Come to your senses!
You are now just In Ha's mom.
How did you know about me being here?
I heard on the news that the successor is being determined again.
It was obvious you would be here.
You should have told me before. I feel sad.
I am sorry. There were a lot of complicated things.
But it is a relief. I was feeling sad that you were getting ousted like that.
I thought you were friends with In Ha. Can you speak like that?
What?
That is true but...
Please be on In Ha's side.
He is having a hard time now.
You are also having a hard time, too.
But I... still have you.
My mother said that strength from eating is everything.
I packed all the popular dishes at our restaurant.
Would you like some?
Here you go!
Why did get so much? I am to eat this all alone?
Well...
I could offer you service and eat with you.
Da Mi, what is your favorite song?
What is your no.18 that you sing the most often at the Karaoke?
My no. 18?
It has been so long since I have been to a karaoke.
Right! When I go to the Karaoke with my mother, I sing \"Dear Me\" the best.
\"Dear Me?\" What is that?
My god! You don't even know such a famous song like that?
\"Dear me, dear me... Don't do this.\"
\"A girl's heart is like the reed (changes mind easily).\"
\"No, you must not. No, you must not.\"
Do you like that so?
Mother likes it, so of course I also like it.
But why?
Just like that. I wondered what your tastes were like.
In Ha.
Yes, it is me.
What are you doing? Are you at home?
No. Not yet.
I have an important contest in a few days.
I called because I thought I will feel strengthened after hearing your voice.
Are you with Yoo Ji Ho by any chance?
Yes, we are together.
I think will definitely win in the contest this time.
There is one more reason for me to become the successor.
I will hang up.
Wait and see. I will definitely win over Yoo Ji Ho and get your congratulations properly.

I am sorry...
But madam asked your table to be set separately.
What? How many people are there in the family that we eat separately?
On a table as big as the playing field at school, only the 2 of you will eat?
Would you like to practice with me after we have breakfast?
I am really curious as to how you will play that difficult piece.
The Subtitles brought to you by The Magic Fingers Team @ viki.com
She knows very well that I can't eat breakfast without any soup. What's with this toast?
Why are you eating here?
Why do you think?
I ended up on the wrong side. And because of you it looks like I will go bankrupt.
I'm going crazy. The shrimp's back was broken in the whales' fight.
Please be careful till the contest so that In Ha is not perplexed.
Don\u2019t ruin his condition by saying something silly to a guy who is highly sensitive now.
Are you cheaply trying to tame me with food?
It is problematic if problems arise at the company because you are preparing for the contest.
You know what the position of Executive Manager is, right?
Yes.
I have no intentions to create any. Don't worry.
You shouldn't take being the Executive Manager lightly.
So that you aren\u2019t talked about behind your back, separate your public and private lives definitely.
I am amazed! I\u2019m scared she\u2019ll go around saying that she learned that from me.
In Ha.
Your fingers shouldn't be led by the music.
Your fingers should lead the sound.
Accent clearly. Make the music more full.
Seeing Ji Ho at work, he is stronger than normal.
I purposely made him work overnight but he doesn\u2019t miss a day of practice.
i don\u2019t know why he practices so hard into the dawn.
I am nervous.
Tell him to practice more,
and later into the night.
It is a vain attempt anyway.
What do you mean by that?
Actually, his mission song...
is Islamei.
What?
You said it was Gaspard De La Nuit.
He is a genius.
He is a genius who can play any piece by just looking at the score once.
Isn't the result obvious if he can also practice hard?
Even knowing the obvious result, it is incompetent to do nothing about it.
Then... did you....?
He will only be a laughing stock if he says he got the wrong score at the contest hall.
He will definitely not be able to say anything at all either.
The Subtitles brought to you by The Magic Fingers Team @ viki.com
So you have come all the way here.
I didn't want to make a laughing stock between brothers.
There is nothing that can be done. Since you wanted it.
Rather than thinking differently behind,
I want to compete honorably face to face.
There should be nothing to hide in a family.
Do well.
Worry about yourself.
I am confident in winning.
I told you to do well, I didn't tell you to win.
Because I don't like to lose either.
Don't be nervous and do well. Like I am by your side. Fighting!
There were many happenings because of inadequacy.
But my successor will be finally decided with this contest.
The first mission is to play the world's most difficult song.
First, Yoo Ji Hoo will play Islamei.
Islamei?
Yoo In Ha!
What are you doing not starting quickly?
The reason why I put a difficult piece in a composer's contest
is to be careful not to compose a song losing the emotions by being trapped in the technique.
Even if you are a genius, without practice
a good performance is impossible.
The first contest
is won by Yoo In Ha.
It's your doing, right? Did you want to win me that bad to have done that?
Why compete if you lack confidence that much?
Why are you getting so worked up?
It was because of your lack of talent. Who are you dumping the blame on for?
I don't know what this is about.
What ugly behavior is this in front of people?
Are you OK, In Ha?
This isn't right. This is vile and dirty.
What meaning is there to becoming the successor like this? This isn't right. This is vile and dirty.
What meaning is there to becoming the successor like this?
Do you the right to say something like this after that lousy performance you gave?
I'm really disappointed in you.
You shouldn't have disgraced Boosung Instruments.
Let's go.
This is stir-fried Kimchi pasta.
This is a menu we have at home once in awhile. Try it.
Wow! Why is this so good? We could put it on the menu and sell it.
Should I make a proposal to the main office?
The restaurant will smell of kimchi. That's OK.
Boss, you find everything that ahjuma makes delicious.
Da Mi, did you lose your appetite?
You are thinking of Piano again, aren't you?
He is having a contest to determine the successor or something like that, right?
Piano? Who is piano?
You didn't know as yet. It's Da Mi's boy...
Do Ri!
What are you saying now?
This mission is perform in order to make an ordinary person who doesn't know about classical music to enjoy it without any burdens.
This time, I will not be the judge. Instead, I have gotten a special evaluation group.
Tell them to enter.
For a fair evaluation, I appointed 5 music experts and 5 ordinary people as the evaluation committee.
This doesn't make sense. How can you ask ordinary people to make such an important judgment?
You need an objective evaluation on classical music.
Isn't that the mission?
To make ordinary people enjoy classical music. There will be no problem as I will add their scores with that of the experts.
The Subtitles brought to you by The Magic Fingers Team @ viki.com
Fighting!
Oh my! Oh my god! You didn't get hit, did you? I'm so sorry, what to do?
I am OK though I got a little shocked.
Hello. We meet again.
Why do I keep meeting you in such embarrassing moments? < I should quit this bloody golf.
If it isn't imprudent of me, can I help you with your swing?
What?
Your grip is too tight. Hold it gently and make your shoulders at ease.
Don't be tense.
Like this... Bring it back and swing it forward. Till the end.
Go up and come down gently.
Through. That's good. Yes.
Just like this.
I practiced well. I think I will come back tomorrow at the same time.
Does he come here often?
President Kim? He is a member here.
President? That kind of jerk...
No. That man is a member here?
He is well-mannered and good looking. So he is very popular among the female members.
The crap with popularity. Are there just one or two presidents in our club? So what if he is good looking? It is just skin deep.
I went through hell to separate him from her. He sure has become successful.
His life span is longer than that of Chairman Yoo. Did I get the wrong insurance for old age?
Both allowed classical music to be enjoyed without any burdens through great arrangements.
The evaluation committee has just made their decision.
The second contest
is won by Yoo Ji Ho.
Now the score is 1 to 1.
Then we should have the last contest.
Chae Young Rang.
You need to help me.
What?
The last mission is to do a performance that will move your mother.
The mother will personally make an evaluation after listening to her sons play.
The final winner will be determined by this decision.
The sky is on my side. My mother could not but recognize my playing.
Did you forget that mother is a just person?
Like how she saved me and not you in the fire.
It seems to be In Ha's as it lacks the fancy technique.
That's right, this is a song that In Ha played often as a kid.
There is a mists touch in the left hand.
This is definitely In Ha.
Now. Make your decision.
Which performance moved the mother?
I don't know who played which song.
But both pieces were great performances that moved me.
If I must chose one piece... The performance that moved me more...
is the second performance.
My successor has just been decided.
The second performer, come forward.
No!
Something went wrong.
I definitely chose In Ha's performance.
The little finger of the left hand wasn't working.
No ways... Ji Ho, you...
Really! You have never once been sincere.
Then I will let you abandon In Ha again on your own.
It is decided that Ji Ho will receive lessons as my successor from now on.
That doesn't make sense.
Something is wrong. I can never acknowledge it.
All the people here are witnesses.
Are you going to act cowardly till the end.
In Ha, I'm sorry.
How can you do that?
How can you not recognize my performance?
Isn't it a piece I played with you as a kid a million times?
You also played the piece that Ji Ho played often.
I didn't imagine Ji Ho would play a trick like that.
No. Now I can't trust you anymore.
You mistook Ji Ho for me in the fire. You also mistook my performance with his.
How can a mother not recognize her son each time?
Who is your real son?
In Ha! In Ha!
Do you think you will be safe after doing such a thing?
Why did you get caught by me?
I will not suffer like an idiot from now on.
In Ha, speak with mom, please. In Ha!
Is he going to listen to you when he is going berserk?
At times like this, it is best to act like you don't know about it.
Seriously! What trouble is this because of that narrow-minded old guy?
Such an old temperamental fool.
I don't know anything.
Why are you here? What will you do if the President sees you?
I have something to say. Give me some time.
What on earth happened? You haven't come to work for days without any contact.
Do you really think that I went to work at your home by chance?
What?
You knew that Chae Young Rang killed Chairman Yoo,
but why did you keep quiet for 14 years?
What are you saying now?
That you know this fact...
What will happen if Chae Young Rang also knows that you know this fact?
Go back immediately if you are going to say useless things.
I am not that free to talk about things like that.
The recorder that you have.
I saw it. On the day you met a girl called Dong Yi.
Recorder? I know no such thing.
It is useless trying to get out of this.
I saw and heard everything accurately with my eyes and ears.
I went into your home deliberately to get that recorder.
I need that recorder.
For you, it must be a big object that has enough money attached to it for you to switch your life for it.
For me, it is an important object that can bring back my dead husband alive from his unfair death.
So, please help me.
If not, you will get hurt, too.
Isn't your imagination too wild?
You must want to get some money by making up a scenario that doesn't make any sense. Isn't your imagination too wild?
You must want to get some money by making up a scenario that doesn't make any sense.
I will not fall for such a lousy scheme.
If you deny it till the end, I have no choice but to meet Chae Young Rang and tell her the whole truth.
Do you think President Chae will believe in what you say?
President Chae and I have 20 years between us.
Between your words and mine, think about whose words she will believe.
That is true. Since I don't have evidence, she will not believe my words.
But... About plotting with a girl called Dong Yi
and putting the Yeoksam-dong building in your hands... I think she will be very interested in this story.
Isn't it so?
Thank you. I wasn't even expecting it but you even came to cheer me.
Are you really okay?
What? What are you saying? Didn't you see me win?
I have officially become the successor. It is completely over now.
Drink slowly. If you drink feeling like this, you will get drunk.
Why? I am feeling good.
What is there to feel bad about?
I was chosen by my mother. I won against my brother. And I also became the successor...
How could there be a happier day than today?
Yoo In Ha, he was acting all smart... Good for him!
How he must be pouting away because he is very angry.
I won't worry. It has nothing to do with me.
If you want to cry, cry.
They say tears can also be medicine at times. Why do you keep holding them back?
Why should I cry? My mother loves me so.
I have such a good family. Everyone is so jealous of me.
I am such a happy man.
Because you are worried about In Ha...
Your heart hurts, right?
Because he is your younger brother.
But why do you act all strong? Like an idiot.
Are you feeling a little better?
Yes.
Your mother must get worried, go home quickly.
Stay a little bit longer.
I'm sorry.
I keep showing you myself in distress.
I like it better like that.
It means that you are with me every time you are distressed.
From now on, if you are distressed about anything, you must look for me first.
Alright?
Here. Promise.

Actually...
on the last day I met you 14 years back...
I had recorded a piano song to give you.
But why didn't you give it to me?
Seeing In Ha give you a better present.
I lost confidence.
You're a complete idiot.
I still kept thinking of you and I wanted to see you after that.
I didn't think of you. I still kept thinking of you and I wanted to see you after that.
I didn't think of you.
I knew it.
It's so unfair, I was the only one who wanted to see you.
Because I will remember you.
The song I recorded that day,
I purposely didn't play it once.
If I think of you...
Because I will want to see you even more.
I...
You...
I think I like you.
Huh?
President Chae is looking up information about you and me.
I know.
We need to place the bait appropriately.
I think you found out a lot about President Chae.
Is there anything special?
I don't know if it is anything special...
Chae Young Rang had a man before she got married.
A pianist called Kim Jeong Wook.
There is no need to look into that any more.
Isn't he already her past man?
He isn't her past man.
Kim Jeong Wook is...
the identical person as you.
I found out a few days back.
I found it strange that Chae Young Rang recognized the fountain pen you gave me.
I found Kim Jeong Wook's high school graduation picture and I checked.
What is the reason you are living as Alvin Kim?
If this huge fight against Boosung Construction
is because of a personal matter which involves you not gaining a woman...
Shut your mouth!
Do you think I lived seeing blood to revenge a woman who betrayed the President of Keumdan Construction?
If you hadn't saved my life that day,
you would have died in my hands today.
I thought that we were in the same boat, aren't we?
Without sharing our secrets,
we can't fight the same enemy.
She meticulously used me.
She even tried to kill me in order to marry someone else.
I gave her everything.
She ran away with my everything.
I can forgive everything else. But I can't forgive her for trying to kill me.
I will definitely pay her back.
Even if I lose my everything.
I am happy to have met a good partner,
Mr. President.
He didn't even touch it today also?
Yes, madam.
Give it to me.
Open the door. I said open up!
You haven't had a sip of water for days.
Are you really going to die like this?
Do you want to see me die?
I will be on my way.
I have a conference.
So I have to go early.
How cheeky you are!
In Ha is in this condition now...
How can you be in this house with your head held high?
What right do you have?
He will become OK in a few days.
Because of something like that
In Ha will not die.
Get out of this house immediately.
I said get out immediately.
This is my house.
I will not leave my home.
No matter how much you hate me and try to push me away...
I am your son.
I will be going.
I....You...
I think I like you.
Yes, In Ha?
I thought you would call.
Was it that difficult to say a caring word?
I'm sorry.
Let's eat together. I have something to say to you.
I will go now.
Now? In Ha! In Ha!
I can't breathe properly. What on earth is that successor that everyone is making such a big deal?
If you become the successor, does a building fall from the sky? Or do you get a couple hundred millions of won?
Why on earth are they risking their lives for this?
In Ha, where are you going?
In Ha? In Ha.
Please look at me.
Let us talk, ok?
I am not yet confident in seeing your face.
I was wrong.
So please stop it. Till when are you going to be like this?
I know that you didn't do it on purpose.
But that infuriates me more.
When you saved him 14 years back.
And also when you chose him by mistake.
That you didn't do it on purpose...
That drives me more crazy.
In Ha!
In Ha!!
Are you OK?
Get a hold of yourself first. You will die first like this.
Take care of yourself with the energy you use to hate Ji Ho.
Only then can you eat him up, stir-fry him or do whatever.
Call Secretary Choi quickly. Tell him I am going out.
Where are you going now?
You are going to have a retirement ceremony?
I have even chosen a successor...
I want to live life at ease just being a father.
Here! I wrote these down whenever I had time...
These are my notebooks of composition techniques.
I am happy to hand them to you.
Professor!
I don't feel good about making brothers compete like that.
I feel like I committed a big crime to In Ha also.
Everything was because of my thoughtlessness.
During the last contest,
you purposely made a mistake with the notes.
Was it because you wanted to give the successor position to In Ha?
I..
have seen you well.
A composition contest will be held soon.
It is the most prestigious contest in Korea.
It is your first contest as my successor.
So prepare well and take on the challenge.
I will think about it.
What brings you here?
What is this? I came thinking you would be happy seeing me.
Aren't you happy to see me?
You must really not be happy to see me.
I'm feeling really sad.
It's not like that.
I am going on a proper date with you today. Your work has ended, right?
Let's go.
I think Da Mi already has plans.
In Ha.
Will you let go of her hand?
I have something to say to my girl.
What are you doing now?
In Ha, why are you acting like this?
We're just friends.
No,
I told you that I like you.
I told you that I had no plans on being your friend from the beginning.
Where you heart is at now...
I don't care about things like that anymore.
I will never lose Da Mi to you.
You have so much, do you still need more?
Why do you keep blocking my life every time?
