The Musical
Come in as my stand-by for Count Monti.
I'm not going to do it until you get me someone that I approve.
I'm not doing it either. Do it with Jessie.
You failed in persuading Jessie?
Although I would love to see you act Do Hwa on Chung Dam Dong Nine Tails,
I would also like seeing you for much longer and in more acts.
What did you do with Go Eun Bi?
You know she's walking her own path.
I will start all over as your stand-by.
I love you.
What if love ends? Musical, stage, love, and the person I love will all end.
-Why did you ask us to cut Go Eun Bi then? -I didn't think you would really do it.
You could have just said you didn't want to do musicals.
You're the co-signer for the contract.
So you're not doing musical production?
You won't be able to do anything else for about 4 to 5 years.
So I'm a slave for 4 to 5 years.
I'm Producer Ahn Sung Ha for this album.
Have we met?
By the way he looks at me, I don't think he still remembers.
Long time no see, Hong Jae Yi.
It's good to see you again, Ahn Sung Ha.
Now you remember? Let's start over again then.
It's over. I think Hong Jae Yi paid them back by signing a contract with a label company.
Are you in there? Go Eun Bi!
I'm not going to back out.
Hello?
-You're the med student doing musicals right? -Hello.
-I'm sorry. -Is the picture in the living room their son?
Can you come here? I would like it very much for you to come once.
Is it you, whom Yu Jin is seeing at Dae Gu?
-Your mother... -Did you just say...
My mother?
Your mother is actually really sick. And they went into hiding to hide that.
Can you take me there?
Mom! I'm Jin.
Don't come!
If you don't come, I will just go to you.
Hello? Is this 911? We have someone missing!
-Go Sun Hee! Where is she? -Over there.
-Mom! -Honey, Honey, Honey!
What happened? Doctor! Doctor!
Mom! Wake up! Mom!
Mom.
Eenie Meanie Minie Mo.
They can taste all different you know.
You're here.
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?
Just live with me stupid.
Ok, Ok, Ok!
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.
You're so cute!
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 didn't need it, so I've been keeping it. -I remember now!
It's been so long! You want to be on my show for just this?
You're kidding 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 him?
I don't think the car accident was the problem.
But she hit her head on the ground after hitting the car.
Will she recover if she gets a surgery?
You already knew about the tumor right?
There is a hemorrhage inside, but I couldn't do anything because of the tumor.
We will have to see.
Mom...
What was she diagnosed with?
Malignant brain stem glioma.
She couldn't be treated?
While you were studying in America, we even went to Johns Hopkins.
She couldn't get treated because the tumor was in the brain stem.
She was diagnosed 3 years max.
She's been very sick lately.
That's too much. Both of you.
-Sun Hee! -Mom.
Mom!
Your mother did not want to be a burden in your life.
She said that she didn't want you to ruin your future for a sick, easily confused mother.
By "my future," do you mean my future that was set my Grandfather for this family?
I threw it all away for your mother,
but we didn't think it was fair to take that away from you, too.
So Grandpa threatened that he will take all of my opportunities away if I stayed by her sick bed?
And you guys couldn't ruin my future, so you lied to me and came to Dae Gu.
And I was fooled by Grandpa like a fool, so that I didn't even see Mom up until now.
Jin! Jin!
Jin!
Where are you going?
Leave me alone for a sec!
What's going on at this late hour?
Whatever the goal is, once it is set, find the best efficiency for the lowest cost.
You taught me that that's the path that I should walk.
And?
For what goal, did I have to not see my sick mother,
and hate my father who has been taking care of her?
Not my goal. Your goal, Chairman.
I see. How is she?
If you're asking if she's alive... Yes, you could say that she is.
But she had a convulsion right after seeing me.
She ran out and got into a car accident.
We don't know when she her consciouness will return.
You want to ask what my goal is? Or do you want to ask why I chose that path?
Which one do you want to explain?
Are you even ready to hear it?
Not an excuse or an apology. But an actual explanantion.
Excuse or apology? That's not even in your vocabulary.
How long do you think I will live?
For the things I want to do for the rest of my time, how much money will I need?
To buy everything that touches me, it will take too much time. And there is not enough time.
But why did I have to make such a cruel decision?
Can you still not understand it?
For your empire. Because Father is a better heir than Uncle.
If he can't do it, then at least I should...
Why does this company, this corporation have to be more important than the family?
Because it's a corporation!
I will pass. Your mother will pass. Even you will pass someday.
But the corporate needs to survive and do the job!
But it exists for the people in them!
We have made a promise to the share holders, to the consumers, to the government, to trust us.
That we will run the company at whatever cost. That's the basis of a corporation.
If I take care of the happiness of my family first,
I can't keep that promise.
It may be too difficult for you to understand that.
Even if I could turn back the time, I would have made the same decision.
Yes, Kang Hee.
You're awake already?
You stayed up all night didn't you?
The male main character will be someone who fails at everything.
And he finally got hurt, and became a playboy.
A playboy?
A guy who never sees a girl twice, or gets serious with anyone.
-An asshole. -Not just an asshole. He has trust issues.
He is someone who believes that love is just a temporary emotion.
A guy who can't trust love. A girl who doesn't know love.
And they end up falling in love with each other?
-Yes. -Do you want to help Jae Yi and Eun Bi that much?
Huh?
It's about them!
Is it?
Anyways, we have to downsize it to a smaller theater.
And we also need to center it around the lead actor.
I like this line.
Right? Isn't it the bomb?
If Sung Woo says this with his voice, it would be a big hit.
Nice.
Did you know that Jae Yi was going to sign such a contract before he signed it?
No, I found out only a while ago.
And the producer working with him...
I don't know about that either.
So how did it end between you two?
Once Chung Dam Dong Nine Tails ever gets on the stage...
I thought that I was going to see him on the stage.
You're saying that Jae Yi was nothing more than a songwriter to you?
I love you.
I never thought I could really say this and really mean it.
What if love ends? Musicals, the stage, love, and the person I love will all end at the same time.
Why think about the end first?
I think that a person can leave even the person he or she loves.
Just like Bae Kang Hee left you, and chose Count Monti.
A person... A person's heart can always change.
I don't want musicals at stake for that.
-Because musicals are everything to you. -Yes.
If musicals are everything to you, what am I then?
You are the person who led me to musicals, which means everything to me.
It's OK. I get it.
Bye then.
Is he still asleep?
-Hello -Hello?
Yes, I'm sorry. I'm kind of busy at the moment.
I'm driving right now. I will call you back again. Do I know you? Who were you calling?
Aren't you Gu Jak?
Yes.
I will call you back.
I'm Gu Jak. Have we met?
I called you.
Oh. Who are you?
I'm Hong Jae Yi's high school friend. I'm also the producer for this album.
I see.
Jae Yi is finished with all the other songs except for the title song.
Is he done with writing songs? Would he have time then?
The melodies are done. We have to edit, record in America, mix, do producing. Wouldn't it take a few years?
I guess so.
How did you know that it was me?
You looked exactly like how Jae Yi described you.
I see.
How did you know my number?
It's my job.
Jae Yi is finally back to what he's really good at. He is getting his touch back.
It was very hard for him to get here again.
I... You know I...
I wanted to apologize.
Not apologize... I wanted to let him know that we're finding a way.
When Jae Yi finds out, he will like it.
He will like it and be shaken.
And the moment he decides to help you and do musicals again,
There will be a $1 million lawsuit.
The media will be on him.
And his life will be over as a songwriter.
Is that what's going to happen?
If you just leave right now, that won't happen.
I see.
I know what you mean.
Thank you.
Did you eat?
You can just talk.
She's not asleep.
Oh yeah.
I brought you something to eat.
Nah, can you stay for a bit?
-Let me go rest. -Ok.
You must be happy.
I just wanted to live like you two.
I thought that I could if I married Jin.
But I don't know anymore.
What should I do?
For a long time has passed, for me to get here.
I have come through a millenium, to live right here.
All those time that I endured, alone
I was forbidden to love. So I didn't love anyone.
But now, I! The moment I first saw you.
My time has stopped. And the love has grown.
Love that is lonelier and longer than a millenium.
It's fancy like this because it's a title song.
I can tell that you know already.
It's the same as Do Hwa's song of Chung Dam Dong Nine Tails.
It has only has a few rhythms different.
Right?
Good bye.
What are you going to do if I'm really Hong Jae Yi?
Hong Jae Yi? Yeah you can be him. I'll be Bae Kang Hee then.
Teacher!
It's beating wonderfully isn't it?
Do you like the song?
You were really great on the stage.
Thank you.
Eun Bi!
We said that we were going to go this path together. We have to stick to it.
I really gave up.
Let's start all over.
You're still working hard.
Did you eat breakfast?
Yeah, I had coffee.
Mom!
Jin.
Mom!
Jin.
Jin! It's been a long time.
Mom, I .... I didn't know you were sick.
-Jin! -Hmm?
I'm sorry.
No!
Sun Hee!
We can't explain it with science.
But nothing improved in the MRI.
I can't even predict how long this will last either.
The only thing I can tell you is to be with her as much you as can. And do everything that she asks.
It's certain that she doesn't have much time left.
I'm sorry for making you come so far away.
Don't say that!
Does she recognize you?
Yes. She was eating porridge, then she started talking about your kimchi.
I did get her other stuff that she liked.
Thank you so much. Please come this way.
There's not much time left.
But I'm so thankful that I could even thank you like this.
You need to get back up!
I'm just thankful enough to say good bye at least. It's greedy if I ask for more.
Sun Hee.
You know. He doesn't have a mother-in-law.
He doesn't have a mother either.
That's why Jin has neither grandmothers.
Will you treat him just like you treated me?
Thank you.
You're really going to let me eat, until I say "I can't eat anymore!" right?
Ok! Let's get stuffed tonight.
Where are we going?
-We're going there! -Where?
You know you gotta get drunk first! Let's start with rice wine first!
Should we? Oh yeah, Ra Kyung. Don't you have to go to the hospital?
No, it's ok.
Let's go!
-Shall we? -This way ma'am, let me escort you.
Ra Kyung!
Angel! Suh Ra Kyung!
Angel!
Everything that I've dreamed of!
Cheers!
Suh Ra Kyung!
Hey!
I haven't seen you smile like that for a long time!
-Hey! Forget it all! -What?
Whatever that gives you trouble! Forget it! You don't need him.
The assholes that give hard time to girls...
-You don't need them. -She's right.
By the way, Jang Joon Hyuk.
Do you know who you're up against?
You're against a prince. He's an heir to an empire.
How would you score with a goalie like that?
How are you going to do it?
You know, no matter who the goalie is, I will keep shooting with faith.
That sounds nice!
Game over!
Just live with him.
You got nothing to worry about. Live with him! If he wants to do drama, you make it for him.
If he wants to do musicals, get him musicals.
Live with him! You're a princess!
Don't make it obvious that he bribed us.
Hey! Don't tell people about the bribery.
Look at the teamwork here. She's so dumb.
Rice wine and pajun (egg pancakes)? You call that bribery?
Joon Hyuk! You know I like the hairy guy over there. Can you introduce us?
Really?
Ok.
It's only a few days until the performance. Take care of your health and voice.
Yes sir!
Let's have a chant!
Monti Monti Fighting ok?
Monti Monti Fighting!
We have 3 weeks until the demo.
I don't know how we will do it, but we started practicing again.
You should come over. We all miss you.
Are you really going to be ok?
I'm ok.
I want to drink coffee.
Yes. Hot americano and chocolate chiffon cake.
Good man.
You must be determined to be happy.
And try to figure out how to become happy. What makes you happy.
Just doing your best won't make you happy.
The life will get miserable if you just leave it.
I will.
Same thing with marriage.
Don't ever do it because of someone or for someone.
You have to marry someone for yourself, when you can't marry anyone else but her.
Mom.
Promise me. Promise me that you will try your best to be happy.
Jin. Can you get me some tissues?
Ok.
Mom!
I got you tissues.
Mom!
If you're done with your coffee, shall we go upstairs?
Mom!
Do Hwa's...
You first.
Do Hwa's song is a great song.
Yeah. I know.
It will do well in Dae Gu!
Then it will be out in the world again!
When I ever get back on stage for Chung Dam Dong Nine Tails, I want to...
Take it.
Yes.
Yes. I will go right now. Ok.
Yu Jin's mother just passed away.
Good bye.
What took you so long?
Should I have asked you for permission to use the bathroom?
You work overnight all the time. I guess you should be able to take showers anywhere.
This isn't just anywhere. It's your place.
Oh yeah, Gu Jak came a few days ago.
He wanted to apply to BIMP and try to get the show up.
And?
I asked him not to tell you and shake you.
You can't go back.
And?
If someone begs you, and you can't do it. You will just feel bad.
You always hated doing something that will make you feel bad. So I did it for you.
Is that part of the contract too?
No.
I wanted to be a villain for you.
It's also something I can do because you said you're not going to come.
I'm the person who knows you best in the world.
You don't have to do anything.
People do not change.
Especially the ones that only think about themselves.
No. I don't think this is right.
Suh Ra Kyung? Yes, this is Hong Jae Yi.
Where is the morgue for Yu Jin's mother?
Morgue?
He is in the hospital.
Who said what?
In order to be happy, you must put in the effort.
She told me to promise her.
Your mother did?
If you don't try your best, your life will become miserable.
You must be determined to be happy.
When you look at my family, that is so true.
Someone just called Eun Bi.
He said that Yu Jin's mother just passed away.
Yes, Mom.
I'm still at the office. I'm leaving.
I'm not married yet. How can I act like a daughter-in-law?
I will take care of you. You just visit the funeral.
Don't visit like everyone else does.
Please, Mom.
My Do Hwa, Eun Bi.
Chocolate chiffon cake and americano.
Just for a second. Can you stay with me?
You're late. What about your grandma?
She wanted to stay at the hospital. So I came here to get my clothes.
Teacher Hong Jae Yi!
You don't have to call me that just because you haven't seen me for a while.
Please sit. Let me get you tea or something.
He just gave me a ride.
I have late night cravings these days.
Let me go eat Dduk Bok Ki. You guys can talk.
What?
It's really awkward. It doesn't seem like it's been that long.
-The person... -Do you...
Eun Bi. Answer me without thinking.
If it's hard to answer, you can nod or shake your head.
Do you love Yu Jin?
You can just tell me comfortably.
I think I deserve to ask you this, and hear the answer.
Is it true?
Yes.
If it's hard, let me ask you something else.
Did you miss me?
Have you thought about me without thinking about musicals?
Have you ever thought that...
I missed you so much, and got all the way here even thought I don't even understand why?
I thought you moved on so well.
You love that man? Yu Jin?
No... I just thought that I could understand how Yu Jin feels, and how hurt he is.
I see.
Do you love me then?
Subtitles by DramaFever
Eun Bi help me once.
No, no. Spare my life!
I can't.
Just for one day for the demo.
What are you doing?
-Organizing. -Hold on!
If you miss this opportunity, you may lose the capital and love.
I think you will have to perform this weekend.
Get ready and show'em what you got.
Ok.
I realized while singing Do Hwa's song. That's what they all say.
It's my love for you.
