Hey, where are you?
Maestro Nam is holding an audition.
Don't worry.
I'll bet my life on this.
How dumb are you to let go of your mallet during an audition?
Take this if you need it.
- Do you know me? - No, I don't.
Where were you looking? You almost died.
I'm looking for a part-time job.
Or I can give you...
an evening call when you can't sleep.
Okay. I'll start singing now.
There's a man
And I also have a secret of my own.
I don't remember anything...
from last summer when I was 26 years old.
There has been a death.
I sometimes have wild imaginations.
I sometimes wonder...
if there's actually a huge secret in the memory that I lost.
(Episode 3)
(Mr. Tone-Deaf)
Hello?
- Did you sleep well? - Yes, thanks to you.
You know what?
I fell asleep within five minutes of our call.
I'm glad to hear that.
Well, then... What do you say?
Should I call you starting tonight?
Yes, of course. Please do.
I have several conditions though.
Conditions? What are they?
It's 10 dollars per call.
You will pay me in advance every week.
We'll come up with an agreement if the contract is to be terminated.
However, even if the contract is terminated,
I can't return the payments I've received prior to that.
Are you okay with these terms?
Agreement when terminating the contract?
Well... Sure, if that's what you want,
then I should comply.
I won't run away with your money, so don't worry.
I'll call you tonight at 11:50pm.
Why do I feel like a pushover?
So what? I can sleep in peace now.
I should practice as if I'm preparing for war.
It's an individual battle.
(Uncle)
Hello?
Grab the flower more tightly. Okay.
You pose so well.
Okay. Okay.
Anyway, both of you are just the same.
Both Soo Young and you.
You never call first. You wenches.
Stop nagging her when she's modeling for free.
We should be thankful that she's even here. Right?
- Don't. - Don't be ridiculous.
We fed and raised them.
Should I ask them to pay me for that?
Okay. Good job.
You're upset again, aren't you?
Fine, I'll come by more often.
You brat. You're so good with words.
Look at how dowdy we look.
I was raised by my uncle.
My biological parents passed away...
when I was five.
Yi Young, the sujebi is getting soggy.
- Eat it before it gets soggier. - Coming.
It's good.
Goodness, look at her. Even if she's off duty,
how could a doctor sleep in until the afternoon?
Make sure your sleep doesn't drop into your food.
That hurts. Can't a doctor sleep in?
Doctors are human too, okay?
We worked so hard to educate you, yet you always talk back.
Right, Soo Young. Make sure you're free this weekend.
If you don't show up this time around either,
I'll remove you from our family register.
- Is it another blind date? - I think so.
What's the use?
She's failed at every blind date.
Because I took after you.
Look at you.
That really hurts.
I became a percussionist thanks to my uncle.
When I was in elementary school,
he took me to the marine rescue parade.
Those drums enchanted me.
Why did I choose these drums...
over a piano or a violin, you ask?
I enjoyed the sound they made.
But it's probably because of my uncle's hands.
They were similar to my dad's.
They were big and warm.
For my dear uncle,
I'll practice to the end.
(President, Ko Min Joong)
Isn't the cover too ostentatious?
You should've just stuck to the usual design.
The supporters' association will hate this.
The audience prefers things out of the ordinary these days.
I'll persuade the chief director.
What's with this theme song? Weren't we going with Tchaikovsky?
He chose Mahler's Symphony No. 2.
Who did? Nam Ju Wan?
Doesn't the chief director have a say in this?
We agreed to do ars nova for a season.
The fans are anticipating.
We agreed to do Mahler's music next year.
We don't have enough budget for it.
You know the chief director's preference better than I do.
Are you trying to get me into trouble or what?
Reprint the cover, talk with Maestro Nam,
and change the theme song.
All he knows are the supporters' association...
and the chief director.
He might as well lick the chief director's feet.
He doesn't dare to speak up once about sponsorship.
- Maestro Nam is in his room, right? - What?
Well...
I was about to tell you that he left.
I have so many things to discuss with him.
Where did he go?
How could you still not know his whereabouts?
Find him this instant and let me know.
What are you doing?
Go!
(Yang Soo Jung)
Isn't this yours? You left it behind.
It was intentional.
- Sorry? - I was getting too many calls.
- Thanks, anyway. - No problem, sir.
Hold on.
About this phone...
My name's not on it,
and I remember leaving it in the restroom.
Actually, I saw your performance when you were at Asia Philharmonic.
And the ringtone was Bach's "Unaccompanied Cello Suites".
Among our dinner guests for tonight,
I could only think of one person who'd use it.
I'll go now.
That looks so good.
I'm starving.
Are you going to eat that?
My gosh!
When you're approaching me,
I'd appreciate it if you could make a sound.
You're always standing there.
If I ever need to see you, Yi Young, I'll just come here.
Come on. When else was I standing in front of the...
How could he actually do that?
You're not the only one who has a mouth.
I also have one as well!
Mind your own business and go your way.
Wait.
How do you know my name?
You wrote it there.
You used a marker and wrote it quite big...
like an elementary school student.
Don't laugh.
By the way, why are you talking so casually to me?
It's irritating.
You spoke casually to me as well. Don't you remember?
Me? When?
Where are you going?
Don't go! This is the way to my house, so don't go!
What else did you say?
Sleep with me, will you?
Let's sleep together.
Enough.
Fine. I got it.
So cut it out.
What's your plan for tonight?
- Why do you ask? - If you're free,
we could hang out.
And why would I do that?
I don't hang out with strangers.
But you're okay with sleeping with a stranger?
What is wrong with you?
Will you stop?
I have trouble falling asleep.
So I just thought it'd be nice to have someone...
help me fall asleep.
Move.
My gosh, you can't just leave.
You need to pay for my part-time job.
- What? - Seriously?
Gosh, you really have bad memory.
I told you about my pay.
You're supposed to pay me once every week in advance.
Come on.
My gosh.
I'll give you the rest...
next time.
Are you happy now?
What a pity. I was planning...
to buy you some meat with the money you paid me.
What is the matter with you?
Do you enjoy teasing people?
You can think whatever you want.
But I can obviously tell that you're really hungry.
Stop trying to decline.
Your neighbor is willing to treat you to a meal. Let's go.
Hey, let me go.
- Come on. - I'm not going to eat with you.
Do you really think I'll eat what you buy me?
I thought you weren't going to eat what I buy you.
Don't tell me...
you're going to go back on your word after I'm done eating.
Do I look like someone who'd do that?
You can't tell a book by its cover.
But come to think of it, this is really funny.
We only met a couple of times,
but we're eating meat together.
Judging by your mallet,
you must be a percussionist.
Which orchestra do you play for?
Shinyoung Philharmonic.
I see.
I'd love to play for them.
But I'm still jobless.
I get rejected every time I go to an audition.
I got rejected 17 times during the past 3 years.
I totally failed the recent audition...
for Shinyoung Philharmonic.
Well, 17 times is nothing.
People who look for jobs these days...
apparently apply for at least 100 jobs.
Right?
I also think the same way.
I'm running toward my dream.
So this is really nothing.
But I have to say, it is quite devastating...
when you're trying really hard,
but not getting any positive results.
Gosh, I'm so tired...
of getting so nervous every time I go to an audition.
I wouldn't make any lousy mistakes...
if I didn't get so nervous. Don't you agree?
I know...
a way to help you relax.
- Do you want to know? - I already tried...
everything on the Internet.
But none of them worked for me.
I learned this from a pianist...
who plays the piano in England.
It's apparently a royal secret that's been handed down...
ever since Qin Shi Huang ruled the Qin Dynasty.
- Qin Shi Huang? - Yes.
You need to write "Human" in Chinese three times.
What was that?
That's what you need to do.
Are you serious?
Of course.
That's right. One more time.
How do you feel?
That was obviously a lie. I can't believe you bought that.
My gosh.
You're a real jerk.
You have a habit of teasing people.
My gosh.
Why? Are you going to leave?
I'm full, so I should get going.
Don't forget to call me later.
If you ghost me after you take my money,
you know what will happen, right?
I'll chase you to the four corners of the earth to get my money back.
See you.
Scented candles. Check.
Humidifier. Check.
Curtains. Check.
Alarm clock. Check.
(Mr. Tone-Deaf)
Finally.
(Mr. Tone-Deaf)
Hello?
You always call right on time.
You weren't even a second late.
Of course. This is my job.
I even got paid in advance.
What are you going to sing for me tonight?
If you have something in mind, I'll sing that.
If you don't, I'll sing whatever I want to sing.
Then...
just sing whatever you want to sing.
Then tonight,
I'll sing 2AM's "This Song".
Wait.
(Mr. Tone-Deaf)
I'm ready. Go ahead.
I want to buy you a pretty necklace
I want to give you a ride
In a nice car
I want to buy you a nice outfit
I want to take you
- To a nice place - I'm so impressed by his voice.
But I reach into my pocket
And find nothing there
So how can I dare to hold onto you?
I wonder what he does for a living.
He acts like an arrogant guy who's rich.
No, wait.
Why would a rich guy sign up for a part-time job...
that only pays him 70 dollars a week?
Then does that mean he jobless?
This song is the only thing
I can give you
This voice is the only thing I have
This might be able to make you smile
My gosh.
I need to sleep. What's wrong with me?
I hope you'll accept this
I'm so curious about this guy.
(Insomnia)
(I Wanna Hear Your Song)
Will you wake up already?
If you don't wake up in three seconds,
I'll just pull the blanket off the bed.
I really don't care.
My gosh, please!
Have you forgotten about today's audition?
We're only holding the audition because you kept insisting on it.
Get dressed and come outside...
before I take a photo of you and upload it on our webpage.
Gosh, what's wrong with you? You're scaring me.
Maestro Nam is going to be 10 minutes late.
Please ask the candidates to wait.
(Practice Room)
Sir.
This is the CD for today's audition...
All right. Lift them up.
Go.
One, two, one, two.
One, two. Great job.
All right. Keep going. Well done. Just like that.
Okay. 3, 4. 1, 2.
Who's calling me?
(Maestro Nam)
- Hello? - What are you doing now?
I'm in the middle of my lesson.
Is that so? Call me after your lesson.
Let's get something sweet.
"Something sweet"?
I drank yesterday, so I've been craving sweets since this morning.
Do you smell alcohol from me?
No, not really.
What kind of lesson was it?
I'm teaching a class to kids three days per week.
No high school seniors.
I see.
Right.
I've decided on the first piece for my inaugural concert.
The first piece for your inaugural concert?
Yes.
Berlioz's "Symphonie Fantastique".
Pardon?
Come to the practice room tomorrow by 10am.
Be ready to work hard.
I look forward to working with you.
Berlioz's "Symphonie Fantastique"...
There are...
There are two sets of timpani.
Two?
I got in! No way! Goodness.
Hello? Soo Young.
Soo Young! I got in.
I passed the audition!
The conductor told me to come to practice tomorrow.
I thought about sending you on my blind date.
Congratulations. I'll treat you to rib eye this weekend!
Okay. Keep your promise!
I'll call Uncle and Aunt. Okay.
Goodness.
I'm going to have a barbecue and passed the audition.
Yi Young, how old are you?
Me? I'm 27.
Let's see. That will be okay, right?
Spare me some of your time.
Choosing a piece of jewelry is the hardest for me.
It gets easier if you know the age group.
May I ask how old the recipient of the gift is?
- The recipient is 27 years old. - Let's see.
Is he dating a girl around my age?
Which one do you like between these two?
Are you asking me?
Personally, I like...
- the one on the left. - I'll take the right one.
Okay.
Yi Young, why don't you choose one?
Me?
Thanks for your help today.
No problem. That wasn't hard at all.
Thank you for the present.
Don't thank me. I feel awkward when people thank me.
Wait, sir.
Can I ask you a question?
Sure.
Well...
I was curious why you chose me.
I even made that huge mistake.
I need you.
Pardon?
Your performance that day was good.
I liked it because I could feel your desperation.
It was like that when you were in school too.
Do your best.
Thank you.
(Episode 4)
Hey, Crazy Hong!
Jenny!
That's her.
That's the girl.
Hey.
We need to talk.
Today's breaking news.
A cute new pet has come into play.
For the new poodle of the conductor,
why don't we all bark together? "Woof, woof."
What's this?
Who on earth posted these photos?
It's someone from Shinyoung Philharmonic.
Only the personnel can write posts on the anonymous forum.
Someone from Shinyoung Philharmonic did this?
Yes, the name is Yu Da.
It's a new stalker who can gather intelligence like a pro.
We don't know if it's a guy or a girl.
I can feel it in my bones that it's a she.
I was helping him pick out a present.
Hey, no one is interested in the truth.
People just need someone to lash out on.
Put your chin up. You must be thick-skinned at times like this.
- That was so funny. - Did you see that?
Yes, I did.
Goodness.
She really came?
Sir, she will join the orchestra starting today.
She came to say hello to you first.
Hello, I'm the new timpanist.
My name is Hong Yi Young.
It's such an honor to meet you.
I've been watching your videos ever since I was in school.
Did you know...
that the darned conductor didn't even ask for my opinion?
Pardon?
He was going to hire a new timpanist,
but he didn't even ask my opinion when I'm the principal timpanist.
That was so insulting.
Those of you who haven't had breakfast,
have some of this.
Ma'am.
Who is she?
She's the new timpanist.
She's the principal oboist.
Hello, my name is Hong Yi Young.
I look forward to working with you.
I see. You're that new timpanist he hired for no reason...
when we don't need another timpanist?
I heard you slept with Maestro Nam.
Pardon?
You look kinder in person.
I was curious to see how thick-skinned you'd be in person.
I didn't sleep with the conductor or do anything of that sort.
That's all right. Don't be so offended.
I understand why you'd do something like that when you're young.
But you should watch out...
if you want to survive here.
Everyone here is a proud musician.
"Woof, woof."
Unbelievable. Does she have a death wish?
No.
Let her go.
I'll just do better.
I know a way to help you relax.
You need to write "Human" in Chinese three times.
What was that?
That's what you need to do.
It's Ha Eun Ju.
Isn't that Ha Eun Ju?
Why is she here?
Who are you?
You're the one who uploaded the photo...
of Moon Jae Hyung and me on the group chat, right?
Are you insane?
Hey, how dare you hit me?
Mind your fingers from now on.
If you do such a thing again, I'll slice them right off.
Unbelievable.
Hey, do you think you'll get away with this?
I'm going to sue you. You just wait.
Good morning.
- Who is that? - I've never seen him before.
Sit down, everyone.
Sit.
You don't need to stand up every time I come in.
Have you all been well?
- Yes. - Yes.
Yes.
It doesn't seem like it.
I only wish the best for you.
I hope you will all become happy soon.
Since it's our first day, let me introduce our new members.
First, our lead violinist.
It's Ha Eun Ju, the passionate violinist.
Next up is our new timpanist,
Hong Yi Young.
Unbelievable.
I'll work hard.
Last but not least,
Jang Yoon, the honorary pianist who mesmerized me.
- Who is he? - Who?
Who is he?
Piano?
"Jang Yoon"?
I know this wasn't planned beforehand,
but shall we ask Mr. Jang to play a piece of music...
before we start the rehearsal?
- Is that okay? - Yes.
Yes.
Can you do that for us?
What is this? Are you already head over heels for him?
No, don't be ridiculous.
It's not that. It's...
It's complicated.
As if.
I thought he was just another incompetent nobody,
but I was impressed.
I heard that he didn't even attend college of music.
- Seriously? - Yes.
The directorate opposed him,
but Maestro Nam was stubborn about it.
I see.
What about you? Are you adjusting well?
Not at all. I'm already dying.
Stop, stop.
Hong Yi Young.
You're half a beat late.
I'm sorry.
Be more rhythmical and put your emotions into it.
Let's begin from the first measure.
No, no. Stop.
Could the timpani play once again?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Ms. Hong Yi Young.
Are you going to keep doing this?
Are you an amateur or what?
Maestro Nam.
I'm sorry.
My hands are really sweaty. I'm so sorry.
Sir, can we please try it one last time?
I'm sorry.
- What is wrong with her? - Seriously.
How about this?
Let's call it a day.
And if this happens again next time, let's just play something else.
Okay?
Okay, then.
Give me my mallet.
No.
Why didn't you tell me that you're a pianist?
You never said anything to me when I told you...
that I auditioned for Shinyoung Philharmonic.
You never asked.
You're so good at cursing people with your facial expressions.
Gosh, you're so scary.
Here.
I saw you clapping like a seal earlier.
When did I do that?
When I played the piano.
I didn't clap like a seal.
Come on. I saw it all.
You totally clapped like a seal.
Okay, fine. I did clap. So what?
You must be happy...
that you're good enough to receive applause.
We both got a job, so let's eat meat to celebrate.
Or how about a drink?
I can drink with you if you want.
I can even sleep with you.
Hey.
Are you teasing me right now?
Do you think I'm funny? Is this funny to you?
Do you think of me as a joke?
My gosh, seriously.
Can't you tell that I'm upset?
(Mr. Tone-Deaf)
Hello?
I'm sorry.
But I'm not in the mood to talk to you.
You don't need to sing for me today.
Why don't you come outside?
What?
You won't be able to sleep anyway because you're so upset.
I'm in front of the convenience store.
Come on out.
No, I don't want to.
I don't feel like meeting you right now.
My gosh, you startled me.
Why are you standing there so quietly?
This is what you got me for my birthday.
How does it look?
Does it suit me?
Yes, very much.
He didn't even look properly.
I met Professor Kang recently.
Professor Kang Myeong Sook,
an instrumental music professor at Shinyoung College of Music.
You know her very well, right?
Of course.
She suddenly asked me...
about Hong Yi Young.
She wanted to know how she's doing.
So I told her...
that you accepted her...
as a member of the orchestra.
And?
I guess you're finally interested in what I'm about to say.
You're at least pretending to listen.
I recently slept with Yi Young's boyfriend.
I didn't plan on sleeping with him,
but I got really drunk that day.
And to be honest,
I kind of wanted to mess with her as well.
Who?
Yi Young.
I'm the reason they broke up.
Why are you telling me that?
Because I know you're interested in her.
Am I wrong?
She's the reason you held the audition.
You wanted to hire her.
Your imagination is quite incredible.
Don't laugh.
I'm really dying to know.
Why do you care about her so much?
You've been like this...
ever since last year when she got into that accident.
What's your reason?
Am I not allowed to know?
It's heavy, isn't it?
Excuse me.
Please be careful when you move the piano.
Okay.
- What? - What's the fuss about?
There's nothing weird about that.
It's just a coincidence.
No, listen.
We met by coincidence three times already.
It's really weird.
He gave me his number,
and he auditioned for Shinyoung Philharmonic.
And now, he's even moving into the house right next to mine.
You're being delusional right now.
He gave you his number for the part-time job,
and you told him that you failed the audition beforehand.
Then that's not a coincidence.
And like you said, even if you guys ran into each other a few times,
why would he sell his house and purposely move...
when he doesn't even know you that well?
It'd be such a waste of money.
Well, you do have a point.
But we locked eyes, and he smiled.
If he moved and noticed...
that I live right next door,
isn't it normal for him to get startled?
Cut the nonsense...
and eat breakfast.
I need to treat a patient now.
Okay, bye.
I'll talk to you at home this weekend.
What do you want?
Where do you get these kinds of clothes?
On the Internet. Why?
You have a unique sense of style.
What's your plan for today?
Why do you ask?
We don't have practice today.
And even if we do have practice,
you'll end up getting fired anyway.
What did you say?
Let's do something and kill time together.
Don't you have any friends?
You're always asking me to spend time with you.
Are you interested in me?
Yes, very much. What about you?
I'm not interested in you at all.
Shouldn't you be moving your stuff right now?
My friend told me to leave.
I see. I'm sorry,
but I don't have time for you.
Like you said, I might get fired soon.
So I need to practice.
I know someone who has a Kolberg timpani.
I know there are only two of them in our country.
And the owner has one of them.
I think I heard something like...
the owner has a practice room in Gangnam or somewhere.
- Is that true? - You bet.
I'm not lying. I'll bet my finger.
Am I falling into his trap?
Hold tight! The bike might stop running on the way.
Don't worry. Just keep...
What?
We're here.
Goodness.
Why did we come here this morning?
I thought we were going to a practice room.
What are you talking about?
You said you know someone who owns a Kolberg timpani.
Yes, I do.
You told me that we were heading there.
You even bet your finger, didn't you?
- We'll go there. - When?
Later. After we have some fun.
I just have to keep my promise. That's all, right?
What?
Don't just stand there. Come.
Where are we going?
To ride the cable car.
- Hurry. - What?
Cable car?
We're going up to take the cable car?
Hurry up. Will you?
Come on.
Why am I...
running on Mount Nam this morning instead of sleeping at home?
Wait up for me.
Put your arms down.
I'm starving.
You've never seen people eat? You're creeping me out.
Eat up.
(Cable Car)
What is this?
I came all this way for this.
- Do you feel scammed? - Of course.
I thought it would be operating by today.
- What did you just say? - What?
What do you mean you thought it'd be operating by today?
That means you knew it wasn't running.
It said so on their website.
Hey.
I've been civil to you, but you're one nasty man.
Was it fun to drag me all this way when I said I didn't want to?
Unbelievable. You're a pervert.
- "Pervert"? - You.
Don't you ever show up in front of me. Don't even talk to me.
Let's go ride the cable car tomorrow morning, Yi Young.
What did you just say?
Who are you?
You ask weird questions.
I don't know. Who am I?
Help!
Yi Young!
Stop!
- Are you all right? - Don't come near me.
Don't come near me!
What's wrong?
Why are you running away?
Why are you running away? Why are you crying?
Do you remember a bad memory?
I'll only know if you tell me!
I don't know.
I can't remember anything.
Please spare me. Please.
Please spare me.
Spare me.
Please spare me.
(1 year ago)
Let's go ride the cable car tomorrow morning, Yi Young.
No.
I didn't do it.
It didn't happen because of me.
I didn't kill.
It wasn't me.
What am I supposed to do?
What am I going to do?
Do you remember me?
Should I change my question?
Do you remember...
whom you have killed?
(I Wanna Hear Your Song)
Jang Yoon. Jang Yoon.
He's like a ghost.
Ms. Hong Yi Young.
- The conductor didn't tell you? - Hold on.
I'll do anything...
if it means I get to stay here.
I need an assistant.
What's this?
What's that?
Blood. Blood?
You saw it.
This? I was cleaning the bathroom.
Do you really think I'm a stalker?
