I think someone's here.
Who is it?
What?
- Who is... - Hey, you!
Chan, it's us!
- Come out! - Come out, Chan!
It's these guys.
Come in.
- Shall we go in? - Sure.
Excuse me. Wait.
Has anyone come to this house?
Didn't a woman in her 30s come here?
Is he talking about her?
You know, that lady with a difficult mentality.
The woman who came here thinking that this was her house.
Yes, she used to live here.
She was here.
But she left last night after realizing it wasn't her house.
Do you know where she went?
Did she say where she would go?
No, not really.
If she comes back, please tell her to call this number.
I'll run over here right away.
Tell her to stay here and wait for me.
Okay.
Please.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
(Neurosurgeon, Kim Hyung Tae)
- He's a doctor. - Why is a doctor looking for her?
She knows this isn't her house, so she won't come back.
Still, I should hold on to it.
- Yes. - Okay.
- Wait. That is... - Wait. That is...
One month...
- Chan! - Chan!
What took you so long?
I thought you left yesterday.
A guy just came looking for you.
Who? Me?
Could it be your uncle?
I have his business card.
I swear I put it in my pocket. Where did it go?
- I'm a dollar short. - I have a dollar.
I'll put it in here.
Bye.
(Kim Hyung Tae)
Deok Su, how can you lose that?
This is driving me crazy.
Is your uncle a doctor?
No.
- It was a hospital business card. - Yes.
A hospital?
- Which hospital? - The name was...
We'll run back and find it.
I'm sure he's still around. Let's go.
No, you don't have to do that.
- What? - What?
I know why the hospital is looking for me,
but it doesn't matter.
I won't ever go back there anyway.
I have to search for something.
Could I use your Internet?
You said you don't have a cell phone, right?
Here.
No, not your phone. I need the Internet.
Exactly. Use the Internet.
(Episode 5, The Lands of the Unknown)
The company you're looking for is long gone.
(August 2005, the day of the accident)
Uncle?
Aunt, did Uncle come back to Korea?
What are you talking about? He's on a business trip.
We even called Japan this morning to talk to him, remember?
Were you daydreaming?
I probably mistook someone else.
If that was really Uncle,
then that means he lied to us.
Yes, Father. They say they can wait about a month for us.
- I'm here. - Are you back?
No, it's nothing you need to worry about.
Okay, I'll talk to you later.
Worry about what? Wait a month for what?
Woo Jin, did something happen?
I'm not sure. I hope it's nothing,
but I think it might be something.
I just pray that it's nothing.
Can you interpret what he's saying?
I've known him for 10 years ever since we were in Germany.
I still have...
zero clues about him.
One month...
(Deok Gu's supplements)
- Let's have our meeting. - Okay.
- I have to go home for a minute. - All of a sudden?
I'll be quick. It'll be less than 30 minutes.
I just said we should have a meeting, and you...
You left.
Hey, Hyun.
Do we have any soju in the fridge?
It's way too early to be drinking soju.
I really want to fire that jerk,
but he's too good at his job.
Yes, that guy... I mean,
Woo Jin is good at his job.
This way, this way.
Excuse me.
This way, this way.
Are you home?
Why are you so early?
I have my reasons.
I couldn't properly thank you earlier,
but thank you so much...
for letting me stay here.
Come here, Deok Gu.
Come on.
Deok Gu.
You have a weak immune system because you're not eating.
You have to eat this. Here.
Deok Gu...
Did she finally digest her food?
Digest what?
Fang just ate...
a lot of food.
A lot of food?
She eats so little. How much did she eat?
She had chicken breast, tuna,
bell pepper, cucumber, and duck neck...
- Duck neck? - Also, beef jerky and...
- That's enough. - There's more.
I said, that's enough.
Fang.
Why is this out here?
It was wilting, so I moved it.
When I lived here, this was the spot that brought plants back to life.
It gets the most sunlight,
and if you open the window, it ventilates well.
This is the golden spot.
Just leave it where it was. It's in everyone's way.
I lived here for a long time, so I know.
If you leave it here for a few days, the wilted plant...
will get new leaves like...
Stop it.
Stop it, Fang.
I said, stop it.
Are you heading out again?
Take care...
Dot, dot, dot.
I just... The leaves... Grow...
Okay.
Why did Deok Gu burp in my face?
One month.
Why does she keep on moving the plant?
It's okay. It's just for a month.
Yes. For a month.
Is she going to stay at your place for a month?
About that lady...
Am I the only one who couldn't understand...
what she said earlier?
She said she won't go back to the hospital.
I don't get it at all.
It's obvious. She's a runaway.
When we first met that lady,
didn't we think she was a little strange?
It's clear she ran away from the hospital.
There's no way.
Enough nonsense. Hurry up and carry the boat.
Thank you for lending this to me.
I haven't used the Internet with a phone before.
Hey.
Can I ask you why the hospital...
is looking for you?
I was at a hospital for a long time.
You said you lost contact with your uncle while you were away.
Were you in a hospital?
Yes, it's something like that.
I'm sorry, but if the hospital comes looking for me again,
tell them I'm not here. Please.
I wonder what had her hospitalized.
Is she okay now?
Hey, why hasn't Ri An shown up these days?
She was fussing about meeting her future uncle-in-law.
You're right.
Hey, how do I look?
I look like someone else, right?
You can't recognize me, can you?
I can. You totally look like you.
You look like Ri An wearing a wig.
The fingerboard's all ruined, the neck's bent,
and there are cracks on the upper bout.
You practically abused this violin.
How could you leave this to become like this?
It's a long story.
Can you fix it? I really need it fixed.
I'll try my best,
but it'll take a long time.
It'll also cost a lot of money.
Money?
Around how much will it cost?
You'll need to pay around 2,000 dollars.
2,000 dollars?
I'll come back next time.
Regardless of how great something may be,
it becomes worthless if it gets neglected.
That goes for both musical instruments and people.
2,000 dollars?
(2,000 dollars)
2,000 dollars.
(2,000 dollars)
2,000 dollars.
2,000 dollars. 2,000 dollars.
2,000 dollars.
2,000 dollars. 2,000 dollars.
Oh, I almost forgot. This isn't my room anymore.
Hey.
Hey, Chan.
Hey.
What's wrong? Are you okay?
Let me help you.
What's wrong? Where does it hurt?
Get on my back. I'll take you to the hospital.
No, don't touch me. I have a cramp.
A cramp?
Gosh, you startled me.
You're not hurt, right?
I'm fine.
By the way, can I use your computer?
(Resume)
(Name: Woo Seo Ri, Educational background and experience)
Here you go. Here are some nearby violin teaching jobs.
(Hiring private lesson tutors for piano, violin, cello, and flute)
You don't have a phone, so you can write my number...
Actually, that won't work.
I won't be able to pick up during training.
What should we do?
010 094 7418.
It's my number.
Thank you, Jennifer.
What? What was her number?
010 094 7418.
You're a genius.
Let me see.
(Resume)
(Hyein High School, Hanns Eisler Music School)
I know this is your resume,
but it's quite empty.
Have you ever won a prize at a competition?
No.
You're supposed to play by the score when you're in a competition,
but I tend to improvise.
Oh, I see.
What? Germany? I was born in Germany.
My uncle also graduated high school and university in Germany.
Really?
I got accepted to a music school in Berlin.
What? We used to live in Berlin.
Come to think of it, I think I've heard of this school.
Was it near our house?
By any chance, did you live near Gendarmenmarkt?
The place where the Konzerthaus Berlin is located?
I don't remember any of those names.
But we did live near a really big plaza.
I came to Korea when I was 10, so I don't remember much.
- Oh, wait. - What? Do you remember something?
There's something I remember very clearly.
There was...
a really delicious hot dog joint near our house.
A hot dog joint?
Hey, Mr. Dung!
Mr. Dung, I heard you used to study in Germany.
I got accepted to a music school there, so I almost went to Berlin.
Have you ever seen a show at the Konzerthaus Berlin?
My dream was to watch a concert there as I studied in Berlin.
Does that mean you speak German really well?
I used to study German while I prepared to study there.
I should've gone there to make use of everything I learned.
By the way, why did you go to Germany?
Did you study there?
Are you a kid?
- Pardon? - The fact that I'm not reacting...
means that I want you to stop talking.
Aren't you old enough to get that? Is it so hard for you to understand?
Well, I was just...
I just felt a connection...
I'm really grateful that you saved Deok Gu's life.
But I'd still like you to keep your promise...
and stay quietly in the room beneath the stairs.
Okay.
Don't worry about him.
I must've made a mistake.
I was just excited about the fact that he used to live in Germany.
Gosh, I must've bothered him.
It's because my uncle doesn't like talking to anyone.
He didn't use to be like that.
What is it, Chan?
No reason.
I just wanted to see my uncle's face.
Rest up.
It's true.
He wasn't like this in the past.
Woo Jin. Woo Jin.
Can you please open the door?
If something's worrying you, you should talk about it to us.
What's going on, Woo Jin?
Woo Jin, what's wrong?
Aren't you going to go to school?
Woo Jin. Woo Jin.
I'm going to go look for a job.
Stop.
Time, place, and occasion.
- Pardon? - TPO.
It's basic manners to be properly dressed...
when you're looking for a job.
Oh, you're right. I do look a little...
Choose one.
My gosh, you really don't need to lend me one.
Thank you.
But they look...
all the same to me.
What exactly is the point of choosing?
No, no.
Every piece of clothing is different.
It has very subtle differences.
(Violin Academy)
I got accepted for early admission,
but I didn't get to go due to personal reasons.
(Resume)
That means you didn't even graduate from high school.
You also didn't major in violin.
Basically you're a middle school graduate.
Pardon?
A middle school graduate.
You have to bring your own instrument.
That's the basics. How can you not know that?
Pardon?
Pop, jazz, classic. It's a three-day festival...
with a different genre every day.
We need different stage design for each genre.
That sounds like fun.
Isn't this a big project?
I don't like working too hard.
Don't talk back. I'm the CEO.
Anyway, can three of us do this?
Don't we need more people?
I think we do.
Woo Jin, what do you think?
- You decide. - I knew you'd say that.
We'll have a short meeting with the festival staff later.
It's not far. It's near here.
We won't be discussing any set design in detail.
I don't have to go, do I?
What do you think? You have to go.
Don't you dare block their numbers again.
Last time, I had to suck up to...
Never mind.
I'll throw you out if you do that again.
If you're going to do that, throw me out to Croatia.
Croatia, my foot.
Why should I wait? I should just throw him out now.
You have to work, Woo Jin.
Hey, guys.
If you grab the bow like a rabbit,
it'll sound better.
What I mean is...
Look. What do you think? Doesn't it look like a rabbit?
Yes. Like this. Good.
Like this. You're good.
I'm sorry. It was an important call.
Please come in.
Okay.
Like this.
You're way under qualified.
I am, aren't I?
Could you look at my skills rather than qualifications?
I'm confident that I can teach well.
If you listen to me play, you'll change your mind.
- Still, this is too... - Please.
Just give me a chance.
I'm sorry.
What's wrong with me? I'll do it again.
I can tell you haven't played it in a while.
But I still remember it like I played it yesterday.
So let me play one more...
You aren't what we're looking for.
Thank you.
Regardless of how great something may be,
it becomes worthless if it gets neglected.
That goes for both musical instruments and people.
It's because my hands got stiff.
I just need to practice. It's okay.
It's okay.
Hyung Tae.
The chief wants to see you.
You have to thank me big time.
I'm sorry.
Pretend you didn't hear...
about the long-term hospitalization.
But you begged me to ask the chief.
Dr. Cha. It's an emergency.
- Unconscious patient is on the way. - Okay. Let's go.
It's an unidentified female in her late 20s to early 30s.
- She fainted in the street. - Okay.
What are you doing Dr. Kim?
Take a look at this patient, doctor.
Hey, what's wrong with you?
You're acting crazy.
Nice to meet you all.
I'm the head of the festival's organizing committee,
Byun Gyu Cheol.
Let's do a great job together.
I'm sorry, I'm late.
My solo practice finished late.
Here she is.
I'm the music director of the classic concerts. I'm Rin Kim.
2,000 dollars.
(Help Wanted, 8 dollars per hour)
Eight dollars?
You have to work over 15 hours a week.
So you'll get vacation pay.
You mean, fuel cost?
- I don't have a car though. - Pardon?
I said vacation pay.
For the holidays.
By the way,
how old are you?
I'm 17...
I'm 30 years old.
We only hire people in their 20s.
The boss is 29, so we only hire people under 29.
You're 30 years old. How can you...
not have any work experience?
That's the basics. How can you not know that?
Are you a kid?
Aren't you old enough to get that?
Is it so hard for you to understand?
Seriously.
I'll take your picture.
Look. You look like a gorilla.
- Look at this. - That's funny.
He said that, so I got mad at him.
That was ridiculous.
But some kids laughed.
What about the 18-year-old me?
What about the 20-year-old me?
Please introduce yourself.
My name is Woo Seo Ri.
I'll be joining you as the second violin.
(Woo Seo Ri Solo Concert)
(Episode 6)
Hey, lady!
Lady!
Gosh. I guess she didn't make the cut.
Are they blind?
Do they think it's easy to get an admission...
to a German, music school at 17?
I didn't make it because I wasn't good enough.
I wouldn't have picked a player that hadn't played in..
so long either.
Your hand...
My hand?
All rowers have hands like these.
They look hideous, don't they?
I'm jealous.
My hand used to look like that too.
A violinist's hands get ruined too.
We get blisters and form calluses at the ends.
Were you that sick to stop playing the violin?
I was, apparently.
I was unconscious, so I don't have any memory of it.
- But... - I was in an accident...
13 years ago.
That's why...
I still feel like I'm 17.
But today, I realized I'm 30.
I'm a strange 30-year-old...
who doesn't know anything.
In my opinion,
30 is not that old anymore.
You shouldn't get...
Discourage... Don't get discouraged yet.
Good days will come as you live on.
So... So...
So...
My Korean isn't very good.
- What I mean is... - Cheer up?
Yes.
Thank you.
Gosh, this won't do.
We're feeling down, so we need some spicy food.
Lady, this calls for...
- pot tteokbokki. What? - Pot tteokbokki? What?
You know your stuff.
Are you a tteokbokki expert?
Pot tteokbokkis are my favorite!
I love adding noodles to it. It's the best.
Of course you have to add noodles.
Let's go.
Should we get some gimmari on the side?
Gosh, I love gimmari.
- Gimmari! Gimmari! - Gimmari! Gimmari!
Are you home?
The butcher's slaughtering a cow today,
so I'm going out to get some meat.
Do you have a type of meat you prefer?
Not at all.
I see. I'll be back.
Hold on.
You have packages.
"Dong Hae Bum".
"Dong Hae Bum"?
"Han Deok Su".
"Yoo Chan".
"Dong Hae Bum".
Why do they send packages to my house?
Gosh.
Why is this out here again?
That hurts. Gosh.
That hurts.
- Who is it? - Your pig feet combo is here.
You have the wrong place. I didn't order...
Yes. Perfect timing.
We ordered, Uncle.
- Thank you. - Bye.
- Hello, Uncle! - Hello, Uncle!
- Pig feet! Pig feet! Pig feet! - Pig feet! Pig feet! Pig feet!
Why did you order delivery here?
Where's Chan? He said he'd be home soon.
He'll be home soon since he said so.
Uncle.
- Have some pig feet. - Forget it. Enjoy your combo.
Have some of the noodles then.
I don't want the noodles either.
- Right, Uncle. - I said, I don't want any.
I'm not offering you more food.
Thank you for receiving our packages.
Me too. Thank you.
Uncle, we ordered tteokbokki for dessert.
Do you want some?
I don't want any.
That's too bad. We wanted to eat with you.
Okay, I'll let you work.
How about sweet and sour pork?
The place we ordered from makes it really chewy.
I don't care if it's chewy or not. I won't eat it.
It'd be nice to eat together.
I'll really let you work.
- Uncle! - What? How did you open that?
It just opened. Why isn't Chan home yet?
You might find out if you call him.
You're right. I'll let you to it.
Why couldn't I think of that?
Uncle. Uncle! It's me, Deok Su!
I'm not eating.
It's not that.
I really have to go. Can I pee here?
Why are you peeing here? Use the other washroom.
Hae Bum is having a bubble bath in the other one.
Why is he having a bubble bath in my house?
Uncle, it's an emergency!
Gosh.
I just want to live in peace.
What's that?
What? What happened?
This is the violin academy you interviewed at last time.
The toddler class teacher just got an appendectomy.
We need a replacement until she's back.
Really? That's crazy. They finally recognized your talent.
I told you good days will come. This is great news.
Isn't it so great?
All of the kids were asking for the rabbit teacher.
Can you help out for 2 to 3 weeks?
- We're here. - We're here.
What is it? Why are they jumping?
It must be something good. Let's jump.
Jump!
Yes! Yes!
Jennifer, Jennifer, do you have any flour?
I need some dough in order to prepare for class.
I happen to have some.
Then...
Could I take this much? Thank you.
It's important to have the right posture to play well.
2am...
If you have bad posture, your spinal nerve...
Kids might not know what a spinal nerve is.
Your neck and your shoulders will hurt,
so you'll need to get a massage.
That's why you should make sure...
the music stand is at your eye level.
You all know what a music stand is, right?
"Yes, teacher."
Lady.
Today's your first day, right?
Yes, I need to go there by 4pm.
But now that I have to go, I'm getting a little nervous.
Come on. Don't be weak.
You're nervous because you have too much on your mind.
Just do as you feel.
"Don't think, feel." Okay?
Okay. "Don't think, feel."
That's right. But what's that?
I'm exercising my hand to loosen up my fingers.
- Anyway, you can do it. - I can do it.
Hey, you.
- Chan, let's go. - Let's go.
Hey, today's your first day at the violin academy, right?
- You can do it. - You can do it.
I can do it.
I guess she really is 17.
Hello, sir.
We meet often, sir.
- We'll be off now, Uncle Woo Jin. - Okay, bye.
I'll see you in the afternoon, Uncle.
See you later, Uncle.
I don't want to see you guys again.
Please fix this for me.
I got myself a job related to playing the violin.
I'm never going to let my violin turn into junk.
And I'm not going to turn into junk either.
I'll pay you bit by bit every time I get paid.
Please fix it well.
Clear water, rotten water...
(Espresso)
Hello? Hello?
What? Who is this?
Hello?
- Hello? - Isn't this Woo Seo Ri's phone?
I think it is.
I'm calling from the violin academy. Can you please deliver this message?
The parents are against hiring her...
even if their kids are preschoolers because she's not a violin major.
So please tell her that she doesn't need to come to work.
But you see, this has nothing to do with me.
So I think you should call her again...
I'm sorry. I'm getting another call.
Please deliver the message.
No, wait. Hey.
Gosh.
Deok Gu.
Where did she go without even taking her phone?
(Organic potatoes)
It weighs 124g less than how much it should weigh.
What?
I'm pretty sure I added just the right amount.
I'll give you one more.
Stop. That one will weigh too much.
- I'll take this one instead. - Okay.
My gosh.
(Potatoes)
She's a human scale.
The violin academy doesn't want you to come to work.
- Hey, Hee Su. - Why aren't you here yet?
I texted you that we'll be starting the meeting 30 minutes earlier.
I didn't see the text.
You should've texted me that you texted me.
What are you saying?
I'm going to throw you if you don't get here in 10 minutes.
(Deok Gu's House)
Fang.
"The violin academy"?
What's this supposed to mean?
Yes, this is Chaeum.
Oh, did you get the package?
Yes, please deliver it to them.
I'm calling from the violin academy. Can you please deliver this message?
Can you please deliver this message?
Hey, Hee Su.
I didn't see the text.
(The violin academy)
Did I not finish writing the memo?
I guess she'll hear it when she gets there.
Isn't it so great?
Your posture...
is very important when you play the violin.
"Yes, teacher."
Whatever.
I'm 17... I'm 30 years old.
We only hire people in their 20s.
Our boss is 29, so we only hire people who are younger.
Oh, really?
Okay, then. I'll be off now.
Today's your first day, right?
Yes, I need to go there by 4pm.
Woo Jin, this is the revised blueprint. Can you take a look?
What?
- Oh, okay. Let me see. - Here.
Loosen your shoulders and chin. Then hold the violin horizontally.
A good sound comes out from a good posture.
It's her. My gosh, what should I do?
Mr. Dung?
Are you going or not?
Can you get in?
What? Oh, okay.
You got off work really early.
It's only a 10-minute walk away, so you don't need to drive me there.
No, that's not what I'm doing.
By the way,
look at this.
Hey, that's...
Chan must've went to training without being able to finish this...
because he didn't have time.
So I filled it in.
"Good luck at the violin academy."
Anyway, good luck.
Chan didn't write that.
- You need to turn right. - Turn right?
By the way...
Do you know why I'm so happy that I got a job?
My mom gave me her violin before she passed away.
And now, I might be able to fix that precious violin.
Gosh, it's precious?
To be honest, I've been feeling upset because I felt useless.
But knowing that someone needs my help...
made me feel really energetic and cheerful.
- The thing is... - I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have talked too much. I know you're not interested.
You can drop me off right there.
Already?
- The thing is... - I'm here.
Thank you for driving me to work.
No, wait. Hey.
Why did I pick up that call?
Hello, today's the opening of Happy Electronics Mart.
We're handing out small gifts to congratulate our opening.
I hope you all have a great time at Happy Electronics Mart.
- Thank you. - I'm sorry.
Hey.
What's wrong? Did I leave something in your car?
No, it's because I have something to tell you.
To be honest...
Come inside and check out the price.
Okay, I'll go inside and check out...
What?
That wasn't what I was going to say.
Hello, today's the opening of Happy Electronics Mart.
- We're handing out small gifts... - The academy...
- to congratulate our opening. - doesn't want you to come.
- I hope you have a great time... - What did you say?
- at Happy Electronics Mart. - I can't hear you.
Hello, today's the opening of Happy Electronics Mart.
- You're fired. - We're handing out gifts.
- What? - Have a good time. Thank you.
You're fired!
Why is he yelling?
Well...
This is not "Good luck at the violin academy."
It's "The violin academy doesn't want you..."
"to come to work."
Well, I was going to tell you but...
I got fired...
even before going to work.
I won't be able to fix the violin...
my mom gave...
That felt good.
I've been wanting to cry lately.
I feel so good now that I bawled.
Thanks, mister.
What are you thanking me for?
You are...
not a very good person,
but I think...
you're kind of a good man.
What?
You were worried that I'd get hurt...
if you told me I was fired.
You're a grownup, but you couldn't tell me that.
You even gave me a ride.
Anyway, you look cold,
but I think you're a good person.
Don't judge me as you please.
I just picked up that phone call by chance.
I won't pay...
any attention to you anymore.
So...
don't judge me as you please.
Okay, fine. I take it back then.
You're both home.
How was it today? How was your class?
I got fired.
- I didn't even get to go to work. - Why not?
Why would you get fired?
Something happened. I need to use the internet.
I have to find a way to make 2,000 dollars.
How did...
Wait...
Lady!
She was right.
It's healthy and green.
We have to go, Deok Gu.
Come here.
Fang. You have to get your regular checkup.
Go with him.
Hey, Deok Gu.
Let's go.
I think...
Fang chucked you.
Hey, nobody got chucked.
Deok Gu doesn't want to leave her.
It looks like he'll go if she goes.
Fang.
The vet said you've gotten a lot healthier. I'm glad.
So you didn't know Fang's...
I mean, Deok Gu's exact age.
I only knew he was about 15 years old.
I think you're getting a phone call.
Can you take it out, please?
Here.
Never mind. It's a spam.
Is this...
Did you buy this and wait for me last time?
No.
I bought it for me.
You look like you're forcing yourself to eat it.
Who? Me?
Nobody's forcing anyone.
Uncle...
- Hey! - Uncle!
Uncle!
- Are you crazy? - Uncle!
Get off at the next stop.
Uncle!
Because of me...
Uncle!
Uncle! Uncle!
Uncle...
Let me go. My uncle's over there.
Don't move.
My uncle is there!
Don't go.
(Thirty but Seventeen)
I'll be at my studio.
For about a month.
I have to tell him that I'm leaving.
That'll make him come back.
Mister.
Don't judge me as you please.
Just say thank you in a situation like this.
Stop!
The lady and your uncle don't really get along.
She's a grownup, but strangely, she's like a teenager.
Will one month really be okay?
I'll try to make it okay.
