Episode 3
Okay, let's eat.
This looks delicious.
We are starting our practice.
Sure.
Would we be starting this afternoon? I'm looking forward to it.
I came here because of the practice. I must definitely go.
Since you're 23 years old, this should not be your first kiss, right?
This is just like secondary for couples that kiss on the face only.
You looked nervous.
Who's nervous?
I am not.
I am not a couched potato, I will not be nervous because of that.
It is just a form of greeting.
It is just that.
But I don't feel that way.
What?
It is not just a greeting.
I am not a loose person.
What about me?
You would burden yourself. Do you really have to say such a meaningful stuff?
It does not burden me.
How should I express it?
I'm giving the future star a kiss as she needs to make an important decision in her life.
It is roughly that type of kiss.
Can you accept it this way?
If that's the case, can you stop laughing and let's enjoy the food.
Let's eat.
From the beginning, we obtained investment of 150 thousand dollars from Project A.
I think so.
After 4 months, we would obtain 70 thousand dollars from Project B investment.
Project A invested 30 thousand dollars more.
I recalled that I took 2 million dollars.
From Project A, B, C and D, it is a total of 320 thousand dollars.
Can you let me have a drink?
I guess you didn't sign any agreement between actor or composer, right?
This is due to a change of plan.
Anyway, I am already doing my best.
Then, where did the investment go to?
I needed some time to sort everything out.
You're drinking beer and enjoying yourself. You even stayed at a hotel.
In the world of creation,
Chief Officer Yoo, people like you don't really understand.
I don't need to know that and don't intend to understand it.
Before next week, please inform me on where the investment went to.
If there is any ambiguity, I'll have to check if there is any misuse of the investment.
You are really...
I did not use the 320 thousand dollars. You have to be clear whether I did or not.
What do you mean?
I meant that.
You are not in charge of this at the beginning.
When I took the money,
it is the other Representative that is in charge of it.
That person is your cousin, Yoo Jae Joon.
Did he say something to you?
What you are hearing now is the singing of the freshman.
With your popularity, you could easily call f(x) and 2NE1 to sing here.
Observe them before you comment. I saw it.
Then, call f(x) and 2NE1 to come.
Otherwise, what would happen to me?
Who would collect money from Hong Jae Yi, the number 1 composer?
- Excuse me... - Don't just use your vocal cord. Breathe in. Breathe.
Oh, you're here?
This is Go Eun Bi. Say hello to the scriptwriter.
Oh, this is Miss Go Eun Bi.
Nice to meet you.
I would count on you.
For a corporation, don't you think that they should support cultural activities?
For a wealthy company, why are you paying a musical composer with such little money?
What happened to the investments? Where's the profit?
If this carries on, you would be reprimanded.
Is this a non-smoking area?
Take a look.
This is the song which the female lead sang and frightened the chorus off the stage.
It is the theme song.
This isn't love, it is definitely not
But when I see you, you shine like a star
I felt that I didn't love him, but my heart starts to waver
This isn't my heart, it isn't my love
But the wind starts to blow, when I shout for you
Since when the stars looked so bright
Since when I started to love someone
I shake my head rapidly, trying to shake you off
I shake my body rapidly, to get rid of my love to you
But for an unknown period of time, I started to embrace you
I understand your pain, the pain you experienced, when I hugged you
I think I can't sing it in this way.
It is beating, right?
Yes.
Are you satisfied with the song?
You're Korea's top composer, Hong Jae Yi. Who would say that your song is lousy?
Hello.
Do you know me?
Sunbae's song...
I have seen all your previous work.
Thank you.
Since I thanked you, can you excuse us?
I need to speak to Hong Jae Yi.
The door is open.
I am now having a lesson.
No, teacher.
I'll leave and you two can chat.
You can't bring along a child to play.
With her standard, if you aren't playing with her, that is an insult to me.
Speak your mind and leave.
Sit down.
No, this can be covered up with money.
They received the money but delay the performance.
Dad, how can they do this?
The changes are not important. I told you several times.
Most importantly, did anyone know that you took away the money?
This is more important.
When did you arrive? You did not inform me.
Because you two were chatting.
This fellow never follows the rules.
Sit down.
Are you managing the fund that Jae Joon was in charge of?
Yes. It has already expired.
During the early stages of the establishment of the fund, he made a few mistakes.
Dad, that's not a mistake.
Yes, that's not a mistake.
If he kept investing in companies that have no ability to host performances...
If this is a mistake, then the whole business is also a mistake.
Hey!
It's a mistake. A mistake made by Jae Joon.
Dad!
I trusted you and put you in charge.
Therefore, Jae Joon left after he made a mistake.
But this also means that you don't have much ability.
Uncle.
If a baseball pitcher scores a full point and creates a grand-slam home run,
a reliever will score too.
Yes. In fact, it is the problem of the pitcher.
But when he appears during a crisis,
and gives a hit, in the game he will be treated as a discarded pitcher.
Which type of pitcher are you?
If you hit three times in a grand-slam home run,
you could bring back glory to the pitcher.
You could also gain victory.
Let everyone see your ability.
In this way, you could continue to be the pitcher.
Are you using this song to return to musical?
Yes.
If Chief Officer Yoo doesn't like it,
you could start afresh with me,
if you make a comeback.
Start afresh with me in a musical, what do you mean?
Both you and I are very clear of what this means.
You already understand what I meant.
To Hong Jae Yi, a musical is Bae Gang Hee.
And Bae Gang Hee is the musical.
I just have the courage.
Please help me.
What type of help do you need?
You abandoned me previously.
Aren't you the one that abandoned me?
At that time I had to do that. Do you understand?
You do understand, right?
You are too self-centered.
Therefore, you chose your current boyfriend, right?
No man can have the entire me.
But,
you could own just a larger portion of me.
No.
I am just stuck in a complicated situation for now. Now...
So?
Did it become simpler?
I don't know.
Is it because of that person?
Perhaps.
I didn't know that this problem can be so simple.
I detest people who are self-centered.
But, for this type of person,
they usually have the greatest ability.
Ability?
If it isn't use for someone or for the world,
he doesn't have the right to own it.
Therefore, for a person like Chief Officer Yoo, you wanted to scout the new talents,
therefore you are giving others a chance and investing in someone else?
What have you heard from the others?
I did not hear anything.
President Han.
Chief Officer Yoo.
Self-centered, doing whatever you like.
We depend on performance and musical to earn a living.
It is because of them that we can come so far.
In the process, some unethical matter occurred.
We also encounter unbelievable incidents.
As long as the curtain is pulled open and the applause comes back,
everything would be gone.
Nothing is left.
What should I do?
I have no rights to answer.
But I must say, you should not let yourself down.
This is so heartless. Did you see that?
Around 42 minutes is the hero's performance.
"I am not a bad person. Please don't hit me".
"I just wanted to earn some money. We are all humans".
You memorized everything just by watching it once?
You are amazing.
Professional. You could memorize everything after watching it once.
This isn't something you can learn just by a day or two.
This is interesting.
The last scene on the mountains.
- From that place onwards... - What are you saying? I saw it several times.
I thought you said that this is your first time watching it?
You said that you memorized everything just by watching once.
This is not important now.
The main point is after that scene, immediately it was on the mountains.
It is not true.
Do you want a bet?
Let's bet. Call.
The loser would have to treat all of us.
Call.
There was one performance in 1992 and it caused us to invest a big sum of money.
Can we invest heavily in this?
The master of shooting, Director Lee.
He was 15 years old when directed a movie,
after that, he quit being a director.
For a creator, sometimes there's a miracle too.
Chief Officer Yoo.
You also have a huge responsibility, right?
The others said that we should not invest in this.
You already knew that and why are you making such decision. You are too impulsive.
You said that you would make the management transparent.
In the end, it is you who always got into trouble.
If Amour Fund drops by 37%, we would lose about 100 million.
Would you be responsible for that?
For the performance through the Amour Fund,
I would find a way to choose a work that would reduce the investment and its loses.
I hope everyone will understand that we'll proceed with the investment for the best outcome.
That's enough. That's enough.
Sit down and listen to what he has to say.
I thought the Amour Fund is in good condition?
That may be the case,
but if we need to satisfy the needs of a big theater,
we'll have to make up for a 50 million loss.
Do you know what's the percentage of profit we need to achieve?
300%.
Do you think you could achieve 300%?
We'll start practicing tomorrow.
What time can you come over?
I and the others are practicing together. I feel great practicing there.
Teacher, there are always visitors coming to your house.
She was once special to me.
I understand. I really understand.
To me Bae Gang Hee Sunbaenim, is someone that makes my heart beat.
She is awesome.
Hey.
Did you listen carefully?
To me, she was once a special person.
Once.
But this is not the only reason.
Bok Ja feels the same way too.
Anyway, it is better for me to practice in the office.
- Eun Bi. - Teacher.
Just like what you have said,
I am now facing an important turning point in my life.
I feel like giving up on everything.
I only could see musical and keep thinking about it.
Goodnight.
It will impede the progress of the musical, think of me and start to confess.
This little fellow.
Where are you?
It is ending soon.
The negotiation is a success.
Who did you hear it from?
These rumors spread quickly.
Sorry, today's Soo Jeong birthday. We have to go for a celebration.
Are you coming?
You know Jae Woo, right? Soo Jeong's fiance.
Jang Seok and Sae Gil's boyfriend.
- Yoo Jin? - Yes?
I haven't finished my job here. Sorry, enjoy yourself there. And go home safely.
Okay. You should also go home safely.
Yes.
I don't know.
It is sent to my dormitory.
Your grandma sent you something.
I'll go get it for you.
You can come by in the night time.
I'll be waiting at your house.
Yes, I understand.
Okay.
I'm hanging up.
Yes, Kwang Seo.
One of my friends is in my house.
She has a weird character.
Hey. Hey.
Traffic accident.
Process the leg and the arm.
You have to be careful here, as they are fractured here.
I understand. Don't worry.
At this side, he died of an unnatural death.
It is a homicide.
That's all.
If you do something wrong, you'll be fired. Understand?
Yes. Don't worry.
Please take your leave.
- Work hard. - Yes.
Are you dealing with corpses?
Disinfection.
I don't deal with other stuff, it's just disinfection.
But, aren't you using that hand to touch them?
You're really mean.
I didn't touch them.
Sunbae already did that.
Sunbae takes good care of me and recommended me for this job.
Let's don't talk about that.
But this is illegal.
How much can you earn from that?
What? Are you paying me?
Yes, I will pay you.
Is this for her?
How many fruits are there? She is generous.
Eun Bi's grandma sent this?
That's none of your business.
You're so rude. Hey!
Eun Bi and I are living under one roof.
Aren't you Eun Bi's friend?
Then, we are a family.
That...
I'll go outside and wait for Eun Bi.
This is really... You are really impatient.
But you are handsome.
What is your name?
Kwang Seo. Hyun Kwang Seo.
Kwang Seo.
It is to earn a living.
It is not to defeat others.
It is not because of pride.
It is just to earn a living. A youngster with two hands and limbs,
what is there to worry about, except to earn a living?
All these words are said by my grandmother.
What you said is correct.
But you are already short of time.
Before the performance, you have to show them your ability.
I won't fail just because of a lack of practice.
It is because of pride.
Well, that may be true.
It is nutritious and pretty, there is also lots of variety.
We could smell the aroma of a garden.
Wonderful.
When can I get these again?
Grandma sent these.
I'll go and sort out the information. You just have a chat with them.
Don't leave.
Although you two are not married, everyone is already watching you two.
Yes. It's a long time since I last met you.
- You are right here. - Yes.
I heard that the shrimp paste was made by you, sister-in-law.
That's great.
Yoo Jin, you must not forget,
your biggest achievement in life is being able to meet Ra Kyung.
I am then the lucky one.
Don't be modest.
This is a well-known fact.
We already know this.
Anyway, have you chosen any auspicious date?
There is no hurry for that.
To Yoo Jin, it is an urgent matter.
Since he did not contribute to the home in anyway,
he must not let his father and mother in law down.
They have to get married and carry on with their life.
Exactly.
The incident happened this time.
Everybody is complimenting him.
My dad is also very happy.
Your dad's expectation is really low.
Hyung should be in that meeting too.
When I was speaking up for you, everyone thought that I was giving an excuse.
You should appear in person and insist that your way of investment is correct.
The person who's self-asserted should show up and bear the responsibility.
If the investment could continue, the loses would not be that great.
But is it alright for you to not work like this?
If you continue not going to work at the company, won't Father get angry?
Father and the company?
After you married me, all you know is to paint.
Father will hate me as his daughter-in-law.
Then later he may also hate our child.
No, he won't. It's alright.
I hope so.
Our child...
I'm really scared of Uncle.
He seems to be extremely strict towards you.
Because for his whole life he's lived in the shadow of my father.
He's never been accepted by Grandfather.
Grandfather's always put the younger brother, my Father, in front of Uncle.
But one day, that amazing Father of mine
suddenly abandoned everything and disappeared without a sight.
His reason was to paint.
But all of that was in the past.
I'm really alright.
Anyway it's not the first time something like this happened.
No matter what, I still feel angry about it.
It was you who cleaned up Director Yoo Jae Joon's mess at the board meeting.
Yet he doesn't even know how to say thank you.
Go in. Good night.
Tomorrow's the judging for the competition, right?
I'll see you tomorrow.
Don't be nervous!
You know what I mean, right?
In other words, don't... don't... don't treat this as an audition.
Treat rehearsals as the real thing and treat the real thing as what?
- Rehearsal. - That's right.
Like a rehearsal, be as relaxed as possible.
What's important?
To not be nervous. Don't be nervous.
Try to stay relaxed.
We can do it, we can do it, we can do it!
I think you're the most nervous one.
But is Teacher Hong Jae Yi not coming?
Shouldn't he be accompanying us?
Didn't I tell you before to not mention Hong Jae Yi?
What if someone hears us?
Not letting others know that Hong Jae Yi composed songs for us was the condition for him to help us.
If others find out that Hong Jae Yi wrote our songs, then he's going to leave us.
Do you know what I mean?
Don't mention Hong Jae Yi again. OK.
With this kind of IQ, you're qualified as stupid.
You don't deserve pity. You deserved it.
You... Sa...
No, no, no!
What's important now is... Right.
Eun Bi.
Our lead.
So, don't feel burdened.
So, you, you're half the success. Do you understand what I mean?
I'm saying, just sing like you normally do.
I'm saying... you just need to sing well.
I'll take care of him, so warm up your voice.
- Eun Bi. - I'll take care of him, so warm up your voice.
Can we make it today?
Until when
[First Annual Amour Fund Original Composition Musical Judging]
Everyone gather around. For our beautiful flight, fighting!
Yes, Teacher.
We're the ne-ne-next ones.
- It's alright. Yes. - Hello, CEO.
No, it's alright.
You're almost here, right?
Even if I do a bad job at singing, the musical itself is great.
Yes. Yes, I got it.
My friend met a person.
You're still in my heart
Take a character from his name Take a character from my name
After we have a baby we'll give him or her that name
Sing, sing, sing for me
Don't, don't, don't sing
Please remember me!
At that moment I remembered music
Morning song
How about it, Chief Officer Yoo?
You can't hear the charm of the musical just by listening to a song or two
or a quick summary of the story, so you need to be prepared.
So far there are two pieces that I'm more satisfied with.
If a musical can convince Chief Officer Yoo in just 15 minutes,
then that means it's already at international standards.
Do you think that's an easy task?
You don't need to take things so fast.
Alright, next team please standby!
Greetings, everyone. Hello!
She's the supporting friend of the female lead.
We call it the lead and the dog character. It's all comical characters.
Noona!
One, two, three. Thank you!
Just like what was written in the synopsis,
it's the first time that the female lead has feelings for the male lead.
She's also feeling her heart flutter.
Begin please.
After such a long period of time
I came here
After thousand years have passed
I'm still alive in this world
I keep enduring through various kinds of pain
And now, only I am left
I cannot fall into the river of love
I definitely will not love anyone again
But starting from the first time that I met you
Time stopped and my love began
Longer than a thousand years
A lonely love
I follow your footsteps
My heart is always with you
No matter how cold you are towards me
I just want you
But I cannot stop
My love for you
Today I'm going to confess to you
I want to use my last breath to confess
That you are my only love
Are there only two songs?
No, there are about another two songs, but the composer wanted to edit them.
Who is the composer? I don't think it's written here.
Yes, actually the composer is...
Hey, your role is the female lead, Do Ha.
Then what's your name?
Go Eun Bi.
The song has a lot of charisma, but isn't the key a little too low?
No matter what, it is the song of the female lead,
yet it sounds like a song for a man.
Can you raise it by one key and sing it once?
The accompaniment itself...
Eun Young, try raising it by half key.
It's ok.
Try raising it by another key.
That.
I just want you
Like that.
This key doesn't seem suitable for Go Eun Bi.
Anyway we can rearrange the song later.
True, but the female actress has to sing in a musical. You can still handle this key, right?
Let me try it, please.
No, I want to listen to Go Eun Bi's voice.
Yes, I'll try it.
I just want you
But I cannot stop
My love for you
Today I'm going to confess to you
I want to use my last breath to confess
That you are my only love
Alright, that's enough.
The song is really good, but about the singing... It's unbearable for the ears.
I'm sorry.
It's alright, it's not like it's an audition for actors.
Is the situation of your musical team so bad that you dare to use an actor with no training whatsoever
or are you looking down upon this event?
It's not like that.
It's because the key of this song was decided specifically for her.
Then if you're chosen for this round, are you still going to use her as the lead?
Let's just talk about the musical itself here. First...
A musical needs many generations of actors to continue its life.
If it's a piece made just for one person,
then how can we invest heavily in it?
No matter how good the piece is, if it's this kind of situation,
then won't there be a continuation issue?
No, it's that... It's that I..
I started the song a little on the low side.
If I used a high key like other actors...
It's not a high key, but a normal key.
Yes, not high, but a normal key.
I really can't stand you.
How can you use this musical when you can't even do the most basic things?
If you're not capable, then give it up.
Are you not embarrassed?
I'm sorry.
If you give me the chance, rather than being embarrassed...
I'm sorry.
That's enough.
The thing that the professionals hate hearing the most is "I'm sorry".
How about you take responsibility and make a clean exit?
The face that I hate the most
is a thick-skinned person without any talent whatsoever who only knows to say sorry and prays to be forgiven.
Gang Hee! Let's take a ten minute break.
Gang Hee! Gang Hee!
What is it?
I want to meet Ms. Bae Gang Hee.
The words that the judge said...
No, it's not because of that.
I would like to ask her for a signature.
What is it?
Erm...
How embarrassing!
Let's hurry and leave.
Shoudn't we wait for Eun Bi?
It's all because of Eun Bi that I'm dying of embarrassment.
Let's go!
How can your tone change so dramatically in front of and behind Teacher Hong Jae Yi?
Stuff it. We can sit and wait for her at a cafe.
Let's go to a cafe, text Eun Bi and tell her to meet us there.
Is it that you have spunk or that you have no shame?
Or is that you are too dumb or too smart
that you want to express that "you don't care how you speak of me" to me like this?
It's not like that.
When this book was first published
I waited in line outside the bookstore to buy my copy.
I read it more than my textbooks and I carefully read it through.
I started to love musicals and decided to not throw away my dream because of this book.
I wanted to meet you today and get your autograph,
hoping that you would have a good impression of me...
I really regret what happened today,
and it will probably be very hard for me to meet you again,
but next time,
I will definitely practice hard to not let you down...
That's very touching.
I'm rooting for you.
Thank you.
How come towards her you're...
Let's begin again. How many are left?
Then how many octaves higher did she ask for?
Then what about Eun Bi?
Alright, I'll see you in the office.
[Go Eun Bi]
The number you have dialed is not available. You will now be forwarded to voicemail.
Please leave your message after the tone.
Go Eun Bi, you're not someone who doesn't know how to sing.
You're also not someone with no right to learn about musicals.
And,
thank you for being able to do all that you did.
Are you alright?
I'm alright. Thank you.
Did something happen during the auditions?
No,
I sang really happily.
In front of the person that I respect the most,
I sang my favorite song.
Thank you.
Are you going to watch all of it from the beginning?
It hasn't been edited yet, so it's really long.
No, we just need to look for one.
It should be around seventh.
The name of the piece is "Nine-Tailed Fox of Cheong Dam Dong."
That was the team that performed while I was outside.
I heard that Gang Hee reacted oddly.
Who said that?
Director Choi who was in charge of filming.
Although Gang Hee isn't a very friendly person,
she was extremely harsh towards that team.
What did you use to make this?
Whatever there was.
You should have let me make it for you.
Don't they say nowadays that you're not a man if you don't know how to cook?
Who said that?
- It's that girl! - Shh.
After such a long period of time
I came here
After thousand years have passed
I'm still alive in this world
I keep enduring through various kinds of pain
Music like this can stand on a global stage as the title song.
The song's not just a candidate?
Do you want to just directly invest?
Yes.
The content is interesting, and as for the music, that's undebated.
What I think is that this musical, "Nine-Tailed Fox of Cheong Dam Dong"
has a lot of Eastern flair, so there's a high possibility that it could enter the global market.
I really want to produce a musical that will not only not lose money, but make money.
Then if that's the case, then what else can I hope for?
But I must investigate whether there's an issue
since they left the composer anonymous.
I must also confirm whether or not it is an original piece.
That won't be an issue. It's a problem with you, Chief Officer Yoo.
What?
There's no problem with us buying the rights and producing it. But...
If you found out who the composer is, will you be able to stick to your decision?
But I cannot stop
My love for you
Today I'm going to confess to you
I want to use my last breath to confess
That you are my only love
But I cannot stop
My love for you
Today I'm going to confess to you
Are you asking which composer can compose music that will touch Chief Officer Yoo?
Is this Chief Officer Go?
I'm Yoo Jin of Amour Fund.
Yes, we met at the meeting.
I'm alright.
Everything that Senior Bae Gang Hee said was right.
She's wrong.
This song isn't written for just anyone,
so it won't be edited to fit someone else's voice.
That's not true.
It's such a great piece that a lot of people should have the opportunity to be involved and sing it.
Is it not good that a lot of people go to see it?
This song was made only for the actress Go Eun Bi.
You scared me.
Anyway the goal of the piece was to have them accept it.
We just have to worry about whether or not we met that goal.
I just need to stick to the original plan and practice dilligently.
The female and male lead of "Nine-Tailed Fox of Cheong Dam Dong"...
Who is it?
It's me. Are the results out?
What?
He said that they're going to directly send it to production.
Do you remember?
We always wanted to use the Qin dynasty and the age of romance as the background.
Didn't we produce this so that we could perform it on a better stage?
Did they say that rather than being a candidate, we're going straight into production?
Yes, straight to production.
- Forget it. - Jae Yi.
I'm really sorry for ruining your dream,
but you know Yoo Jin, right?
If he finds out that the composer was me...
He knows.
He knows it all.
His condition is that you must produce all of the music.
Jae Yi, Hong Jae Yi.
To me, this is the same as winning the grand prize lottery.
Like drawing the buying rights of a cheap foreclosed house.
Like Jeon Ji Hyun falling in love with me at first sight at a party
and insisting that she sings my piece.
It's the same as all of my luck from these events adding up.
He wants to invest 40 thousand in my music.
Today I'm going to confess to you
I want to use my last
I want to use my last breath to confess
That you are my only love
Indeed, you have to sing it for it to work.
How about I write a song that only you can sing?
Do you not know how good the juniors are at singing now?
No,
I'll let everyone know.
That Hong Jae Yi
wrote this song especially for Bae Gang Hee to sing.
No one else can sing it.
Please come in.
What is this?
What do you mean "What is this"?
Go Eun Bi, you surely have skill.
You have a good relationship with the composer,
so you're able to become the lead despite not having the ability.
