The Musical
Just a year ago, someone told me not to even dream about doing musicals,
saying he was Hong Jae Yi. Whatever...
Hold on... The girl from Han River?
The sob?
What are you going to do if I'm really Hong Jae Yi?
Yeah, you can be Hong Jae Yi. Sorry-ass drunk Hong Jae Yi.
I'll be Bae Kang Hee then.
The person you like... Someone who uses connections with the songwriter to get the role?
I think I know that much. Am I wrong?
-I'll do double-casting. -I'm doing double with Bae Kang Hee?
If you say that you have forgotten me, that's a lie.
Jae Yi! I love Hong Jae Yi.
Postpone Chung Dam Dong Nine Tails to next year, do Count Monti this year.
Chung Dam Dong Nine Tails is over now!
What did you say?
I will put on Chung Dam Dong Nine Tails.
$4 million.
Since I'm spending 4 million, let me put up a condition.
Unless you get me someone other than her, who I can approve, I'm not doing it.
I'll start over as your stand-by.
-You're signed as the co-signer. -So you're not doing musical production?
About 4 to 5 years? You won't be able to do anything else.
So I'm a slave for the next 4 to 5 years...
I'm Producer Ahn Sung Ha, for this upcoming album.
-Have we met? -He still looks dumb,
I don't think he remembers yet.
It's been a while Hong Jae Yi.
Good to see you again, Ahn Sung Ha.
Can you remember me now?
Let's start over then.
It's over.
Hong Jae Yi made a contract with a label company to pay them off.
Are you there? Go Eun Bi!
I'm not going to step back.
Hello?
Let's go lightly at first.
I don't know what the family problem is, but she is that sick.
There's not much time left, but her only son can't even come.
There's not much time left? Is that what they say at the hospital?
Even if the doctor doesn't say much, I still know it.
She makes so much trouble everyday.
Trying not to waver, and trying to stay is about a thousand times harder than leaving.
And I decided to do that, and I stayed.
I won't back out.
Chairman's secretary office called in and asked if lunch is fine tomorrow.
I'll be there.
Put it back before I sock you.
Noblemen do not drink alone.
People in the old days drank with a flower if they had no one.
Do those noblemen include some loser who gave a $1 million debt to his friend?
You should find a way to pay him back, if not all of it.
How? Convenient stores? Gas station?
It will take about 100,000 years.
Is Jae Yi someone who will ask you to pay him back by doing day-jobs?
What then?
We have to put up the show somehow and pay him back bit by a bit.
Is there a way?
Will drinking everyday solve it? If you start working with me, there's going to be a way.
So stop drinking already!
Why are you being a jackass too!
Thank you.
You're the med student doing musicals right? Go Eun Bi?
Hi.
-Come in. -It's ok.
I have to give back the dishes she gave me last time. Just come in for a sec.
-What's that? -Stuff that didn't come out in Korea yet.
Europe, America, and Japan.
Oh, this won't help you for making albums.
They are DVD for Luhrmann's films.
How did you know that I liked Luhrmann?
Ahn Sung Ha! You're really a great producer.
Dang! This is great! Are you normally this good to songwriters?
I don't know.
This is great.
I didn't want to give it empty. So I got something from the city.
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
Yes, his family owns a big company.
Only son...
Yeah, I heard he studied abroad.
Then the picture in the living room is the son?
Would it be a nephew then?
Why?
Nothing.
I guess that's a way to forgive your parents.
Is it bad with your parents?
-Dae Gu? -Yeah, Dae Gu.
That's my hometown. What do they do over there?
Painting. He always wanted to be an artist.
Did you really not go even once after that?
Why not?
My grandpa... Chairman said not to go.
Why did your grandpa not let you?
I don't know.
You know every month, I get cravings for good ol' Korean food.
It's really good.
You want it to be good.
Why, you don't like it?
No! It's really good!
Chairman, Jae Joon has a really good idea about the investment in China. Would like to hear it?
I think this is great when you're about to catch a cold. Don't you think so?
Yes.
Was it just a cold? Are you ok now?
Yes. I ate home-cooked food got better right away. Thank you.
You went to Dae Gu... If you were in Seoul, I would have bought you Kal Kook Su for cold.
If you come to Dae Gu, I may get you some. Would you like to come some time?
You know I'm busy.
I really want you to come.
Ok, have a safe trip home.
-Yes sir. -You're seeing President Nam at 3?
-Yes. -Let him know that we're golfing next week.
He forgets these days.
I will call him. But I don't think I can see him today.
Why not?
I have an urgent matter in the countryside.
-Countryside? -Yes.
-You should go. -Bye.
Yes, get me the quickest KTX available. Yes, cancel the meeting.
-You're hungry right? -Yeah, let me finish this first.
You can eat first.
What is this?
Teriyaki bowl. You can eat it without side dish.
It's good when you're watching movies.
Oh hello!
Oh Ra Kyung! I was wondering about something.
I was also a bit worried.
What is it?
I heard that Jin went down to Dae Gu for something urgent.
And I was worried.
He was being so emotional, so it seemed like a personal matter.
You know what I mean right?
Where are you going? It's so cold tonight.
Someone's coming from Seoul.
He's coming with only the address. So I'm just going to stay outside.
Who? That songwriter?
No, someone else. I will be back.
What? I didn't cry.
Then blow your nose.
Geez.
Will you come to me? Or should I go to you?
Hmm?
I think it's good for you that I stay with you.
That's also good for me.
Do you want to come? Or should I go?
-Hello? -It's Suh Ra Kyung.
Was it you, Eun Bi, that Jin is seeing in Dae Gu?
Mom, I'm not coming home tonight.
No, for work. I have to go.
No, nothing is wrong.
Ok, ok.
I want some cake.
Your head doesn't hurt anymore?
No, it doesn't hurt. Mister, do you have cake?
Yeah, we have some. We got chocolate cake,
Tiramisu, and strawberry tart. Which one would you like?
Chocolate.
-You come here often? -Somewhat.
Why?
I was thinking on the train.
Why am I cancelling my schedule to come to Dae Gu this late?
I don't think it's for Kal Kuk Su. (Kal Kuk Su - knife cut noodles)
I did want to see you.
What?
I think I wanted to see Go Eun Bi at Dae Gu.
The place where she grew up.
I thought that seeing Go Eun Bi in Dae Gu is like seeing her true self.
Did you know that Hong Jae Yi was going back to America with a girl group?
I heard two days ago.
When he had to pay back the sponsor, he had to make a contract urgently.
So Hong Jae Yi signed for writing, producing, and marketing?
I know right?
They have to make sure that you don't run.
They paid you; they have to get what they paid.
If it's out on the media already, then you can't run. Right?
-Yeah, you're right. -You don't like it?
I wrote that article.
The girl I saw in the morning is Go Eun Bi right?
What?
I thought that there really was someone who could do this to Hong Jae Yi.
So I thought that you could change your mind if she comes back.
So I kept her away by writing a straight-forward article.
Girls are scary.
So be good. Don't run away.
Where would I go after signing a slave contract?
-You must have been really sick. -Huh?
Don't you normally like these stuff?
Yeah.
Your mother...
This is just a flu.
Did you just mention my mother?
What if your mother is really sick?
What would you do if they disappeared to hide that from you?
What?
She knows she's sick, but she can't go to hospital because the world can't know about it.
You also had to study. So for those reasons...
If they left for that reason...
What are you talking about?
What I'm saying is...
What if the reason they left was not because your father didn't want to work anymore,
but because your mother is sick...
I think you've heard something wrong somewhere.
I talk to my mother from time to time.
When's the last time you called your mother?
You couldn't talk to your mother for a while, could you?
Why is Mother's phone disconnected?
Oh, you called.
Let me talk to her, if she's there.
-She's not here. -What do you mean?
Did she go somewhere?
Yeah, she went traveling.
Where? Why didn't she roam her phone?
She wanted to take care of a few things.
What happened?
Nothing. I have to go.
Ok.
Say it again. How do you know...
Mother is sick?
Why can't she even go to the hospital?
What do you mean the rumors?
-Ra Kyung. -Jin. Where are you?
Ra Kyung, remember when I said I needed to see father a while ago?
Did you see my mom too?
Jin!
You knew about it?
You knew that she was sick?
Jin, let's first...
Jin. Jin!
Is she nearby?
With Father?
Yes, I heard that he's been nursing her.
-Can you take me there? -They live next door.
-Lead me there please. -Ok.
-You like the music? -I like it.
This late?
Oh Eun Bi!
You can come in.
Eun Bi. Welcome.
Jin.
I'm thirsty.
Oh ok, I will get you some water.
Thank you, Mister.
Who are they?
Sun Hee...
You know him...
Umm...
Mom...
It's weird. It hurts here.
Mom.
-I'm Jin. -Don't come!
Go away! It hurts here. Go! Go!
Sun Hee!
Jin! Just... Eun Bi!
Let's go.
Mom! Mom! I'm Jin.
Yu Jin.
When were you planning on telling me?
I'm sorry.
I know nothing can explain this.
Yes, nothing can.
Father! How can you do this to me?
I know you can never understand.
That's the kind of illness your mother had.
We couldn't believe that she got such disease at her age.
You could have told me. I should have known!
You were studying. There was nothing that you could do.
What do you mean there was nothing... No! You should have let me see her!
Jin!
You could have let me known. Whether it's America or Europe, we could have taken her!
That's...
Have you thought how selfish you were to decide to take care of her alone?
I'm sorry.
This fellow...
Hey!
Oh, Father. When did you get here?
I told you to study...
I heard that you're not seeing the Chinese tutor either.
You know how hard Chinese is? We can speak English!
Did you make the analysis on green energy for China?
You know every research lab we have are making that.
The doctors will do their job...
Will you straighten up!
The solar research lab in China, that's what Chairman is putting the fate of our company on.
You know I have to work in China for that.
While Jin is running that tiny musical fund of his, he's turning in reports to Chairman every week.
-But Jin won't go to China. -What?
I think something fun will happen.
Have you seen Ra Kyung's father lately?
-Chairman Suh? -Yeah.
I golfed with him last week, why?
To finish the factory in China, Chairman Suh's investment is absolutely necessary right?
Of course!
And he's investing because Jin and Ra Kyung are getting married.
Are you still sleepy? Why are we talking about something we know already.
What will happen if Jin and Ra Kyung can't get married?
What?
She took her meds and went to sleep. She won't wake up tonight.
I didn't even know this was happening. I just thought that I couldn't understand you or Grandpa.
Did Grandpa...?
Even if your father comes back, I'm not going to see him.
He abandoned me. It's only natural that I abandon him.
Just because I threw him away, doesn't mean I have to throw you away too.
Can you promise me that you will stay by me?
Father is going to come back. Give him some time.
Do you know how many employees I had your father put in charge of? 10,000!
If they had a family of 4, that's 40,000 people!
Running a company is taking responsibility of that sort!
If you're going to stay by me, I will pay for your tuition. I will let you start your career here.
But under the condition that you won't see your father, either.
Did Grandpa know? About Mom's illness?
Jin.
Right? It's because Grandpa knew, it could have been a shame for the family.
She couldn't go to a domestic hospital.
He would have said to send her to a hospital overseas and you to stay at work.
Jin...
And you would have said that you couldn't do that. Right?
That's why you left the company! To fool me!
-Jin! -He didn't like Mother because of her family.
It was her decision.
When she found out about the disease,
she knew that she would eventually not recognize anyone.
She said that she would go to a hospital alone.
She didn't want to be a burden for you and me.
I didn't let her do that, and yes. Your Grandpa and I had disagreements there.
Then she made the decision to make you live your life at least.
To make me an orphan, so that I think I must constantly prove myself?
So that I could live in the battlefield everyday. Is that the life you wanted me to live?
It was a very important time when she became sick...
Isn't it more important that she did not have much time left?
Go back.
Don't be mean to her.
Come in.
I asked her to not tell you.
I'm sorry.
It's not your fault.
It's late. You should sleep in the guest room and go back home tomorrow.
That's sad.
No matter what anyone says, you've done a great job.
I thought so too,
but they are people of a different world. So I'm not too sure.
There's no such thing. No matter how much money you have, parents are parents.
You've done a great job.
You're not healthy yet. Go to bed.
Grandma.
What?
Am I not good at knowing how people feel?
What? Did someone say something?
Am I careless?
It's not that you're careless. It's that your priorities are different from others.
Different priorities?
Yeah, Mom.
No, I'm away from Seoul. There was a film shooting all of the sudden.
Stop calling him for something like that. He's busy.
We will deal with our own matters ok?
No. I'm just tired.
Yeah, yeah, good night.
It's too late. Did I wake you up?
I couldn't thank you or apologize. Yeah.
She's asleep now. Yeah. Good night.
I was just wondering what angels do with their wings when they sleep.
I heard they hide them under their beds.
Your bed must be huge! Because your wings must be huge!
Joon Hyuk. Can we talk right now?
No, I think I'm catching a cold.
You said that you will make me laugh right?
Can you do that over the phone?
Is that Sung Ha?
Is there someone else that could come in at this time?
I know it's a slave contract, but don't you think this is too much?
You think I'm doing this for work?
Anyways! What would you have done if there was someone else there!
I would have made breakfast for two then.
Will you come? Or should I go?
Am I special or have you changed?
What do you mean?
You never turned down a girl.
What?
-But you're scared. -I am?
It was difficult for me to ask you.
-Sung Ha... -But you're pretending like you've heard nothing.
We're under contract.
We have to do a good job with work.
See? You're running away.
Is it her that made you change?
I don't want to make it uncomrfortable to work.
I won't make it uncomfortable. It's clear now.
It's clear that you won't come to me.
Let's just be friends...
Yeah, let's do that. I made you breakfast, you can eat them or sleep more.
If you're not going to come, I can go.
Honey?
Where's Mom?
-Father... -Sun Hee!
-What? What's going on? -Sun Hee!
Father!
Hello? Yes, 911?
A person went missing. Yes.
Grandma.
You couldn't sleep well last night?
How did you know?
Your face is rough.
How do you know without even looking?
I could feel it when you rub it on my back.
What?
I rubbed it on your clothes!
You've been doing it twenty years. Of course, I know.
Are you a prophet that came from a long time ago?
-Now you figured! -Where's Father?
He went out in the morning.
Who could it be?
I'll go out.
-Is she sick? -Hmm?
-Your fan. -What?
Milk wasn't there.
I guess it got old.
No way. Not just milk,
she always left the note "Cheers! I will be looking forward to your next piece."
You think it would get old?
Are you free tonight? You want to go watch a movie?
I don't think I'll have time.
I called you 8 times. If you're not answering even once...
I don't think you still haven't checked your missed calls...
-Please find her. -I got it. Please just rest at home.
She is very sick.
We have all the pictures out. We will get a call, don't worry.
Thanks.
He's like family. He will take care of it.
Are there any places that she went often?
Yeah, the park and the hospital.
I'll go to the hospital with her, you should go to...
He's from Seoul. He doesn't know where the park is.
Oh yeah, Eun Bi can go with him.
You should go. We will go to the park.
Hello, Bae Kang Hee.
I'm here to see Hong Jae Yi.
I'm sorry he's working.
What?
He's working right now. We can't have guests.
I can take a message.
And who are you?
Ahn Sung Ha. I'm the producer for the upcoming album.
Between a producer and a maid, which one are you better at?
I know right? I get confused too, but I don't think that matters.
Whether you're a maid or a producer, I don't think you can turn back Bae Kang Hee.
I can. It's my job to make sure he doesn't get interrupted.
Interrupted?
You think you can handle it after turning me back?
If Hong Jae Yi finds out...
He's been purposely not answering your phone calls.
If he finds out that you came here, he would feel uneasy.
So if I don't think the message is important, I won't tell him.
-You! -It's Ahn Sung Ha.
Unless there is something else you want to tell me, I have to go back to stove.
What are you doing?
What? How can you?
What? How can you be such a great songwriter?
Bae Kang Hee was here.
I kicked her out saying that it's a work place.
Really?
I don't really understand why you would fall in love with such a person.
But I guess I'll find out.
When I know you better.
When you do find out, share it with me please.
Exactly what kind of man am I?
It's me. Find out everything about Hong Jae Yi's contract.
And the producer too. Ahn Sung Ha.
Yeah! Ahn Sung Ha!
Eenie, meenie, minie, mo...
They all taste different for some reason.
You're here.
It's sweet!
What are you going to nag about now?
Hey! Let's put up the show.
Forget it! How?
Don't you feel sorry for them?
We have the script, song, and actors.
That again? We don't have a stage, or the lead actress.
So if we do get them, we will start it again ok?
We have no lead actress. What are you talking about?
Take a look at who's here.
Are you Cho Sung Woo?
How have you been?
Good. What do you mean "have you"?
Have we met?
Yes, Kang Hee. How are you?
Are you feeling better?
Yes. I'm feeling better.
How is Hong Jae Yi doing?
Oh him. I don't know.
You don't?
No.
Go Eun Bi doesn't know what Hong Jae Yi is doing? I don't buy that.
Yeah, I don't really understand either. I really don't know.
I don't see a reason why you would be lying. Ok then.
Ok, ok.
-Was is Kang Hee? -Yes.
Are they still seeing each other?
I don't know.
You don't know right?
I don't know. Nothing at all.
Just live with me, stupid.
So, if Sung Woo does a demo song at the International Musical Festival,
we will get sponsors right?
We have it right? Stage and lead actor.
I can feel alive now! So that little kid was you?
You really can't remember can you?
Contract for $1, instant noodle and a roll.
You said that you don't need it, so I kept it.
It's been so long! You want to be on my show for just this?
You're kidding with me right?
-Should I rip this? -No! No! Joon Hyuk.
I was thinking about the sponsors too. I can't believe this. Hey Sang Won!
Get us more rice wine!
It would have been so much better if Hong Jae Yi and Go Eun Bi were here.
Should I call them?
-Go Sun Hee. Where is she? -That way.
-Mom! -Honey! Honey! Honey!
What happened? Doctor! Doctor!
Mom! Wake up!
Mom! Mom!

Even if I could turn back time, I still would have made the same decision.
So what happened with you and Jae Yi?
It was nothing better than musical songwriter?
I just wanted to live like you.
I thought I could, if I marry Jin.
But I don't know anything anymore.
I can do this because you said that you won't come.
You just have to stay still.
Can you stay with me for a sec?
