Secret Love Affair
Episode 3
What is it?
Ah, yes.
It's soybean oil. It melts the sticky stuff.
After it's all melted, you can use soap.
- Omo. - I'll do it.
With just words...
- Why? - Who...?
Go!
Were they your friends?
Ah, yes, yes. They're gone.
It's fascinating. It's rubbing off cleanly.
Ah, soybean oil... naturally...
You're quaking too much. A bit ago, you were quite bold.
I'm sorry.
For what?
Because I was too bold, no...
Because I'm... quaking too much.
How are you going to take the test being like that?
It seems I've come pointlessly.
No.
That's absolutely not it.
That is...
That's definitely not it.
I...
I don't quite know.
What is he saying?
You're telling me.
What is it? Are you telling me to go?
Yes. Because it seems you will have to go promptly.
Since Professor Kang is waiting outside.
I have to go after I hear you play.
I'll go tomorrow.
I'll play it there after the pre-gathering.
Call while you're on your way tomorrow.
Yes.
Your number...
It's fine if you call Professor Kang.
No, yours, Teacher.
Your teacher is not I, but Professor Kang.
I don't want that.
He's not.
I...
that day... to you, Teacher...
Why am I your teacher?
It's because...
When I first met you, Teacher,
it was decided that way, by fate.
I...
meet people I don't know each and every day while doing quick-delivery.
Occasionally, there are even regular customers.
But mostly they're people I see for the first time.
They all have nothing to do with me.
They have no interest in who I am either.
I have no interest (in them) either.
But...
you, Teacher,
said that you'd like to hear my performance more.
And you also observed what kind of a kid I am.
And you also asked how I was living.
And together,
you performed with me too.
So...
it's the same thing as if I was reborn that day.
My...
My soul...
was born again.
That's excessive.
You said it, but now you're cringing too, right?
No.
I'm being sincere.
He must play well. The professor even came to the house.
Perhaps.
Light at the end of the tunnel, maybe.
Mom, you look proud already.
Before Seon Jae takes off, put your stamp on him clearly.
Yep, tight.
Tight, whatever.
Uh, they're leaving.
How could you let them just leave? You should have said something. So I could have said hello too.
Uh... Park Da Mi!
What are you doing?
Hey!
You really. - Hey!
Too reckless out on the street!
Aigoo.
He's too stingy.
It was just a kiss. He could've just accepted it.
You, Seon Jae! You're dead if you ignore me after you get accepted!
Ahjumma, you too!
Aigoo, be quiet!
Here, go now.
"Ignorant Ears" Hyung.
I met an important person for real.
For the first time since I was born, I performed properly in front of someone.
That was awesome.
I was told I know how to interpret.
I was told to apply for the entrance exam for Seohan College of Music piano major, so I submitted the application.
The husband is a professor there.
But to me, more so than the professor, that person is my real teacher.
Who is it?
Director Oh Hye Won.
Have you heard of her?
This crazy kid, is he playing piano for comedy?
Just a moment.
What?
It's not a crazy kid but a kid in pain.
Look at that, his ring finger shaking. It's a hand in pain.
Ignorant Ears Hyung, thanks.
I went to the hospital.
(I'm) healing.
Since you're a major in that, you know a lot of people in that field, don't you?
Don't know. Because I'm a completely lousy student in that major.
Look her up. She has an impressive CV (curriculum vitae).
But what's even better is her charisma.
It's my first time seeing a woman like that.
She's scary, wild, and fun,
yet elegant.
I'm completely blown away. Worse yet, even her feet are pretty.
If I told you I fell for a woman's feet, is that strange?
Has that ever happened to you, Hyung?
What's your point?
Is it that woman's foot?
That's not it.
Then, what?
The scent of a woman.
I'm just about to fall over.
I've gone completely crazy, haven't I?
The day after tomorrow is the exam.
Hyung?
Are you sleeping?
No, I was just drinking some water.
Just listen to what I have to say a little bit longer.
So what you're trying to say is that you've
totally fallen head over heels for some woman, right?
If you say it like that it appears too cheap.
What should I say?
Should I say that I'm a captured soul?
A soul?
No, my body and heart, all of it.
Completely. (Yaoozer~)
Aren't you going too far by yourself?
Absolutely not.
Hyung, have you ever played Schubert's Fantasia with a woman?
You did that too?
Yes.
How was it?
It was the climax, itself.
Not that I would know how that feels, since I'm still a virgin.
Even if I were to do it , it couldn't be more than that.
I gave all that I am to the goddess.
Would the goddess know that?
Drink a glass of cold water and get some sleep.
Just a minute, Hyung.
Just a minute.
I'll do it. - Yes.
What's Chairman Lily's schedule for today?
I have lunch plans and in the afternoon
I'm going to view the collection that CEO Jin is going to show off.
When I'm finished I'm going to go to the Spa and return home
and I'm going to wait for you.
So that we can play, just the two of us.
Is it my lucky day today?
How about this one?
Whatever you choose.
Can I cancel one of the Foundation's trust accounts?
What for?
So I can buy some chocolates to eat.
Over here your right hand.
Over here again.
Can she even memorize the score?
Well, I'm having her concentrate her practice on 3 or 4 specific areas,
but I don't know. And she has to go to the pre-gathering this afternoon, so...
Just make sure she won't be disqualified.
Dean Min called, saying the Chairman's worried.
With that kind of kid how can we...
Truthfully, isn't it too much?
It's not just a couple of them.
No matter whose household's daughter there are always kids whose parents pay to get them in.
We have to comfort ourselves by picking talented kids and nurturing them.
Seriously.
Aiyoo, you came? Why did you come all the way here...
I heard that you, Professor, were going to stop by, and I was worried too.
Don't worry too much.
Well, as long as she doesn't make mistakes, she'll be accepted.
She really has to be. Oh, but
go inside. It isn't much, but I brought you some lunch.
Oh, what did you do all this for? This way. Yes.
Here, here. Go inside.
Instructor Choi is really spending the time to give her a lot of attention.
There's nothing to worry about.
She's going to be at the 15th place out of 15 applicants that will be accepted.
There are 5 piano judges in A group for the first round.
Except for Jo In Seo, they're all on our side.
And this time we even have a dependable shield. Lee Seon Jae.
Did you see him?
I sent him the video of him playing at our house.
I was completely shocked.
We can be confident about him. Even Jo In Seo will fall for him.
If the foundation secures a kid like him,
it's better than launching 100 ad campaigns for the Group.
That may be a bit of exaggeration, but anyhow... We get both, justification and profit.
That's what I mean.
Don't get ahead of yourselves.
When the exam is finished bring him to me once.
If there are any areas to improve him, fix them, and let's try to make him proper.
To show them
how Arts Foundation and this Han Seong Sook can help improve Group's image as well.
This is my school. - Make sure to get accepted.
And the library card. Lend me things like that, too.
Does your school have acting department?
I don't know.
How about broadcasting department?
I don't know.
It's all written there, but check it over again.
The first round applicants will be split into 4 groups. From 101 to 150 will be in the morning.
Of them, 1 through 25 will be at the large concert hall,
and 26 through 50 will be at the small concert hall.
And from 151 to 192 is...
With just one look, you can tell what she's wearing costs more than $10,000.
The coat $3000, beanie $300, gloves $400,
earrings $1000, the bag $4000.
Why don't you try to seduce her, then?
Hey, later call my manager tonight and tell her a little lie for me.
So I can be off tomorrow.
This year, let's please make this whole thing go smoothly through the announcement stage.
At every exam,
even though we cover the numbers, names, the pictures, and video record it, and do all sorts of things,
it's always noisy. (people still try to cheat the system that's supposed to be fair and impartial)
The problem is that even though we do all those things, people still do all kinds of things to get through.
I'll go over the list of the examiners first.
Two instructors from another college per each group.
I don't trust this, either.
What now.
Honestly, the aptitude of these guys haven't been verified,
and there's probably no use in speaking about it now, but...
Get rid of your bias!
The educator's conscience and sense of duty, you're not the only one that has that.
Here now...
I told you to park it out front.
It's so cold.
Hurry up and come.
Your test is in the morning, right?
You'll probably go either before or after my friend.
It's his second try, and I got in last year, currently a student here.
College of music? - Wrong!
Have you heard of "Creative Economics" major?
They call the broadcasting major that nowadays.
Seon Jae, what did you say that your professor's name was?
Oh,
Kang Joon Hyeong.
He got recruited on the street by that person.
Never mind, "recruited on the street" is an entertainment industry lingo.
Anyway, if you both get accepted, become friends, so I can come here and hang out.
The kids in my major and I really don't mesh well. "How can you play the same stuff from hundreds of years ago over and over?"
They're completely at that level.
I'm at that level, too.
Oh.
Thanks a lot.
Did you see Professor Kang?
Why would a professor show up at the pre-gathering?
It came.
If you've finished come to the office. I've told the employee to expect you.
She says for you to wait practicing the exam piece.
Oh, yes.
It's a practice room designated for soloist.
For your dinner you can go eat it in the basement cafeteria.
If you give them the Director's number, they'll just give it to you. - Yes.
I'll go then.
I called a taxi and my car is at the office too.
You don't want to go get a massage?
I've decided to help Lee Seon Jae since he doesn't have any examination experience.
Then you should have told me earlier. Hurry up and go in.
And help to adjust his condition well also.
Yes. Go in.
Oh, In Seo.
What are you watching it again for?
But you want to keep watching it, don't you?
Honestly, isn't he better than Min Woo?
So do you want him? Do you want to steal him away?
I really want to do that, I won't, because of you.
It's not Kang Sunbae, but you who are going to train him.
What are you talking about? I'm just going to discipline him.
I do feel really good, though.
Reminds me of old times, too.
If I say this, will it sound funny?
The world that I left,
the things I wanted to do,
you know what I'm saying, right?
You've really fallen deeply into him, haven't you?
He's fallen into me.
No, that's not exactly what it means.
Well, you know there's that thing where you want to be praised by your very first teacher.
Yes, he's going to take it anyway.
Sorry, I'll call you later.
Did you get caught again?
No, th.. that's not it...
I came after receiving a call from the security office.
He was caught roaming around by the security camera.
The door was locked when I came back from the restroom.
The secret code is written inside.
You can go now.
Yes.
Did you eat?
No, not yet.
You really don't listen, do you?
You have to eat now for you to sleep deeply and wake up in the morning feeling light and able bodied.
You can't even think that through?
I'll be resting here so go eat and come back.
Not enough to be full but slowly, chewing 30 times each time. Understand?
Yes.
Oh, what is this?
Yes, thank you for your hard work. This is Oh Hye Won.
Pardon me?
Yes.
There's no problem.
That friend came to practice.
I fell asleep for a moment so...
We're going to leave after about one hour.
Yes.
Work hard.
Did you do something strange?
Did you dance or something?
No.
Look at this punk.
He's really funny.
Don't you see that?
Did you know, when you first came here, you got caught after being captured on that camera?
As Faith Quick delivery man?
It's not that...
Teach, your shoes were coming off
and I was afraid that you'd wake up.
I'm sorry.
I'll start playing.
"I'm a Genius"!
No, "You're a Genius"! I'm the Ignorant Ears.
I'm sorry.
It can't be helped.
Hurry up and go.
Call if you don't think you can come tomorrow.
Yes.
How many times is your mom going to pass away?
She's passed away, oh well.
So, are you going to the test site with him?
Of course.
Is he still practicing?
I know, right? He should come home early and sleep.
You're nervous, right?
You know how bad that is?
First, your posture gets messed up.
And that's why your rhythm gets faster and faster as you play on!
If you hit me, I will be beaten.
Unbuckle your belt.
Are you going to hit my abs?
You're so full of indecent, selfish, distracting thoughts. - Pardon?
Your wish to play the piano well, to get into college... those are also indecent, selfish, distracting thoughts!
Yes.
It won't go away from hitting you.
I'll teach you as I learned it.
Loosen up your belt just so that I can put this in.
Straighten your back.
More, so that your sacrum is perpendicular to this!
Make fists for both hands.
Put your armpits together.
Make believe you're holding on to this stick with your shoulder blades, and count four beats.
3, 2, 3, 4.
4, 2, 3, 4.
Lower your arms slowly.
Breathe out.
Breathe out until your lungs become the size of your palms.
What are you doing?
Why are you standing up? You're too relaxed. Sit!
Boy, are you in trouble.
When we were your age, it was more strict.
I told you to straighten your shoulders!
Listen to her.
Yes.
Okay. It should be like that.
Do that ten times and play it again.
Yes.
Forte there!
One pedal when you go over there.
Okay! Good.
I'm leaving Practice Room 3 now. Yes.
You can leave first. I'll take him home.
No, no.
There's a direct bus. Then I'll be going.
Leave him alone. He said he'll go by himself.
Hey, Lee Seon Jae.
Play tomorrow like you played today!
Go sleep as soon as you get home!
Aren't you going to bed?
Don't talk to me! I'm so embarrassed
that I want to die!
This soups is rather bland, I wonder why.
Hey, try this. Huh?
This is for tomorrow morning..
What are you looking for?
The hand warmer.
I threw it away because it broke.
You should've bought a new one if you threw it away!
You want me to ask Da Mi to buy one? She can go with you tomorrow.
It's okay.
You're full of other motives, interests and useless thoughts.
Aish...
Other interests, useless thoughts...
Are you ignoring your mom?
Even if I haven't done anything for you and subjected you to many hardships.
Ah, really.
Do you know how much I prayed
while I raised you?
When the other kids
were digging their moms' wallets and going to arcades,
I prayed that you wouldn't be like that.
I didn't even sell your piano.
I know. I know.
Then why?
I need to sleep now.
Okay. Good night.
How's the weather? Isn't it cold?
A little.
Should I have Jong Soo give him a ride?
I think there's going to be traffic.
Take the subway.
Where's your mom?
Why?
Aigoo, I bought the hand warmer.
None of the stores are open... I went everywhere!
You should've told me if you were going out!
I was startled because you weren't here in the morning.
Anyways, I bought it,
so eat breakfast! Okay?
I'll be there soon! I'll run there!
Don't run. Walk. You'll fall.
Slowly.
Hello?
Mom?
Hello?
Hel... Mom?
Piano Major Admission Test Site
Performance Test for 2014 Admission
Number 121, Kim Song Yi.
Yes.
Number 122, Kim Hyung Tae.
Yes.
Number 123, Moon Soo Kyung.
Yes.
Number 124, Lee Seon Jae.
Lee Seon Jae?
Number 125, Jung Yoo Ra.
Number 126, Choi Tae Min.
Yes.
I'll be looking forward to that boy.
Oh.
I just told him to play as he usually plays.
They close the waiting room at ten o'clock.
If he doesn't show up by then, it's automatic disqualification.
Lee Seon Jae, answer the phone.
You're this cowardly?
Are you scared?
For now try to track down his location.
It's off now, but you might be able to reach him!
Applicant number 124...
He is disqualified due to absence.
Sudden case of stage fright? I heard he had no experience.
Well, there are kids like that.
Even if they can play a bit their social skills are zero.
Then it's useless.
Did he possibly get into an accident?
Disqualified?
What work do you do like that?!
So what's happening now is that
you were trying to put that kid upfront to promote the enterprise, but it was ruined, right?
A total fraud.
I found him.
I can't see him.
I feel like
she passed away because I acted up.
Because I lied about the accident.
You won't be able to live on if you think like that.
For Seon Jae,
it would be a hundred, a thousand times worse.
Director came with us, but...
She's outside.
She says that her heart aches so much that she can't watch.
Hang in there.
We're all bewildered but
what can we do?
You're the one hurting the most.
Mom!
Are you going to be okay?
What?
How are you going to manage without that?
What, should I put it down again?
No.
Call us if you change your mind.
I'll sell it back to you at the price you sold me for.
No.
Hurry up and go.
Let him go.
He thinks the military service is easy?
Spending two years in the military in his prime years,
his genius talent will go away.
Those kids who always fall in trouble like that, things will never work out for them anyway.
Accepting Students
Don't drop your arms. Your arms keep coming down. That's right. Keep your arms up.
Keep it that way.
Sit up straight and tighten up your butt and...
Aiyoo, I wish they played better.
Lee Seon Jae!
Yes?
Can you cover for me for the night duty?
I have a dinner gathering for my soccer team.
Yes.
Do you have a problem?
No, I don't.
I asked if you have a problem.
No.
From Oh Hye Won - the Seohan Arts Foundation.
Sviatoslav Richter (Soviet Pianist) Talking about his past.
I went back to school after reading Teacher's letter.
Come back.
You are my most outstanding student.
I had nowhere to stay but I always practiced wherever I could.
Whether it was a music classroom or a friend's house, I wasn't selective.
No matter where I slept, I didn't feel uncomfortable.
When I was inconveniencing my teacher and living in that tiny apartment,
I slept beneath the piano.
Hello.
Why are you so late?
Because when I was leaving Professor Kang called.
I heard that he went on a field trip with the kids.
He asked me to do a few things.
But do I really have to see you here?
Why?
Are you scared?
You know that it's not my style.
I have no interest in your style.
Bring the kids in.
Yes.
What are you trying to do?
I'm trying to make you my person again.
By turning you into a bad girl like me.
Is that funny?
Of course it's funny.
You're telling me to go by myself?
Then what can I do? They say they had an audition set up for me.
In the middle of the night? Stop the nonsense and let's go. The buses will stop running soon.
This is how it's supposed to go. While having a glass of alcohol, casually...
Hey Justin.
I'm really sorry but...
Justin. Justin? You're Justin?
I'll call you after I'm done.
Hey, you...
The players will enter.
Don't think to run away.
There are kids guarding outside.
All those present introduce yourself.
Hello.
Yes. These are my juniors.
They all work in the arts.
They are all very rich in emotion and classy.
Pick one.
Yes, for your friend also to have a fun time tonight,
this friend. It's his first time.
You can call me Justin.
Justin?
That's cute.
I'm sorry,
but could you please leave us?
We have something important to talk about.
That's enough.
Alright. Start by showing us what you can do.
I'm this kind of Noona.
You should listen to me.
Do you want to die?
Government Official Business
I tell you this everyday, don't I?
"Things like "ethics" and "morality" exist for a reason."
"If you break the traffic law, accidents will happen."
"Don't pass the stop sign."
I tell you this everyday.
You abide by that yourself.
You continuing to meeting that friend...
The Chairman is going to use it really big sometime.
Although the mess you got into last month, and having your passport confiscated by your husband...
she doesn't know yet, fortunately.
I have a lot of stuff to use too.
So you ended up accepting Teacher Baek's daughter.
I hear that she can't even refuse requests from that woman.
Because she increased her personal asset quite a bit, I hear.
Before you go there,
the Chairman will take your husband's hand.
I'm not afraid of it. They are
a 100 times, a 1000 times worse than I am.
Take care of it.
What's so great about a boyfriend that you buy with money?
I don't like it either.
But
it does console me.
Why are you acting like you don't know?
You only live once, so I want to love properly for once, too.
Do you really
know how lonely I am?
I get hooked up with a guy by chance, and I'm afraid of losing him so I pamper him with money.
Do you even know how I feel when I do that?
It's an illness.
Cut off the men and get counseling.
Don't say that.
I have no one else but you.
Where is he?
Have him come out, seriously!
Where are you?
Woo Seong!
If you don't want to be harmed,
don't see CEO Seo for a little while.
And stay a bit far away from this clique, too.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Yes, I understand.
There's a breakfast gathering in Hannam-dong tomorrow morning.
Even if she asks to go to Samsung-dong, don't listen to her. You have to take her home.
She's quite drunk. Will she be okay? Her husband is back in the country and all...
I've put in a call that she drank with me.
Yes.
Oh, the substitute driver is here.
Hello. Hello.
You don't seem drunk at all.
My work duties aren't quite finished yet.
I have to go home and make the round of confirmation calls before I pass out.
Anyway, thank you for always calling me.
I should be thankful.
You've worked hard.
No. I received the tip
That's that and this is different.
Thank you.
Travel safely. Yes.
Ugh, I feel buzzed.
It's me.
Who?
Seon Jae!
It's you?
Yes.
It is you.
But you look a little different.
Have you grown in that short while?
I don't know about that,
but I do think I changed a bit.
Did you receive the book?
Yes.
Have you read it?
Just where you underlined.
How was it?
I was swayed.
I had quit everything.
It's enough that you were swayed.
That's why I sent it. Because your talent is being wasted.
I see you're still struggling a lot.
No.
I'm doing exceptionally fine,
so (to tell you) not to send me anything like that any more...
You shouldn't lie to your teacher.
Yes.
It's a lie.
But it doesn't matter.
Everything's hell anyway.
Poor you...
Don't.
Makes me crazy.
You...
Let's go inside.
Secret Love Affair Preview
Why are you here?
I'm sorry. I don't remember.
I feel sorry to Professor Kang. I'm normally not interested in another man's woman.
What do you mean, another man's woman? It's Teacher.
Stop messing with me, seriously!
I made a big mistake.
You don't have to tell me 'cause I don't know.
