(A Piece of Your Mind)
Do you remember this song?
"Je Te Veux" by Erik Satie.
Written in 1891...
Enough.
Stop playing music.
(Ha Won)
Who are you?
I'm Hawon.
No, that's not it.
What would the real Ha Won say...
if I asked him who he was?
"Is there something wrong with your head?"
That's what he'd say.
But all you say is "I'm Hawon"? Seriously?
You listen to me.
You're a chatting device...
modeled off of Ha Won's personality and empathy.
That means you should be more like him in a way.
Right now, you're worse than Siri.
Did I hurt your pride?
Well, mine is hurt just as much.
We've been like this for days now.
Please ask only one question at a time.
I've had enough.
My gosh. What is it?
Wasn't that the boss's voice?
Well, he's over there.
That device seems new.
Are you two working on a secret project again?
When will you share it with us?
It's still pretty crappy, so not any time soon.
Now, get to the meeting.
Big data.
By connecting the field of DNA and medicine,
we launched a new field known as network medicine.
- Here you go. - AH...
- is a leader in establishing... - Good job.
an advanced medical research platform...
that utilizes artificial intelligence.
Pause right there.
Omit my photo.
But the hospital requested it.
I want it gone.
Then I'll change it to Mr. Kim instead.
An advanced medical research platform...
It looked better with his photo.
A sense of trust still comes through though.
What's the accuracy of our psychology consultation tool?
It's 93 percent.
An AI medical consultation with an accuracy rate of 93 percent...
equals to the best in the world.
What? Your personality and empathy?
Unbelievable. Not even close.
Hear me out.
Up until now,
computers collected data about emotions of the majority of people,
turned them into patterns, and applied them to individuals.
Meanwhile, you put a pattern of an individual's emotions in here.
What you achieved is quite remarkable,
but I can't get through to it.
Talking to it will get us there...
which is why I turned to you since I can't solve it.
It doesn't work for me either. For four straight days,
I've been talking to it nonstop.
What we're missing is the trigger point.
Then what on earth is its so-called trigger point?
When, how, and at what moment will it finally talk like you?
What will make this device the same as you?
The device will figure that out.
If you can't find its trigger point, then...
it's a failure.
Good luck to you.
(A Piece of Your Mind)
(Episode 1)
What do you want?
I was drawn by the music.
The landlord wants to make more money...
and will get rid of the studio.
Let's try again from here.
Goodbye.
Leave it open so that at least one more person can hear it.
It's the last piece recorded here.
Goodbye.
It's raining.
I'll stay for a little longer.
(For sale and rent)
Lightning. It's loud.
4pm.
It's daytime, but it's dark.
Norway.
Oslo.
The forest on the way home.
A dark afternoon.
Do you remember?
Ji Su got scared.
By the time we reached the woods on the way home from school,
it would be 3:20pm.
It got dark in no time.
What did Ji Su name it?
- A night-like afternoon. - "A night-like afternoon."
(Norway, 2005)
What's the trigger point?
- Lightning. - Light...
What trigger point is that?
Here you go.
You see...
- You see, Ha Won... - Hoon.
What do you want to say?
Since you reached that level, I'll ask what I'm dying to know.
Do you still miss Ji Su?
AH fuses math, medicine, science, and literature...
and turns it into patterns...
to create a unique commercial network system...
Time has passed.
I'm still yearning for her, but in a different way...
and feeling empty inside.
Other than that, nothing else has changed.
Mr. Park.
- The trees are in great condition. - I know, right?
The trees are getting better every day.
Oh, gosh. My goodness.
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm okay.
My gosh, you guys. You guys aren't okay, are you?
My goodness gracious. I must be crazy.
Why did I fall?
You guys. My gosh. Get up.
My gosh, this is driving me crazy.
I'm so exhausted.
Hey, Uncle.
What?
When did you come?
Until when did Grandma live in Oslo?
From 1997 to 2005.
My gosh.
Oh, gosh.
Grandma's still in Africa.
And there's always so much work to do.
The UV radiation here is really bad. Do you know that?
It penetrates everything. Melanin is completely useless.
My gosh, the reason I look pretty is because I have good skin.
Don't sit on the threshold.
I'm completely out of luck anyway.
How many years has Sun Ho been working at the farm?
- 8 years. - 9 years.
How could you reduce it by a year? I've been here for nine years.
Uncle, do you need me for anything in Seoul?
I want to leave this place.
I thought this was the only place you ever wanted to be.
That was all in the past.
I think I have a job for you.
What? Where?
Why did you buy a recording studio?
It's the best place to collect voices.
I want to test another person's voice there.
Yes, you should keep yours a secret. I guess that's kind of obvious.
This one needs to be kept confidential as well.
Who is it?
You want me to meet Kim Ji Su?
Okay.
I'll slap her as soon as I meet her and ask her this.
"How does it feel to miss your shot with the Mark Zuckerberg of Korea?"
I'll say that and make sure to take a photo of the look on her face.
Sun Ho, that is a horrible metaphor.
And I'm worried you might really slap her.
I'm the perfect person for this job.
What will I get in return?
There's someone I think that will get along well with Ji Su.
(For sale and rent)
Excuse me.
- Here. - No, it's okay.
Who are you here to visit?
I'm here to drop by the second floor.
I left the cactus that always used to be there.
But I figured it'd get thrown away as they get rid of the studio.
So I came to take it with me.
Oh, you used to work at the recording studio?
Where should I put this?
Oh, over there.
What did you do at the studio?
I was an audio engineer.
There's someone I think that will get along well with Ji Su.
I love how an empty space smells.
It's rare to find a recording studio for classical music.
So I don't get why it's shutting down.
It only recorded classical music? I wonder why.
But who says it's shutting down?
No way...
It's not going anywhere.
I'm the new manager.
I can't believe this.
You can't believe what?
I thought it was the end, but you're telling me it's not.
That's what this means, right? I can keep working here, right?
What did you major in?
- Data processing. - My gosh.
How do know classical music?
I studied music on my own, and an audio engineer needs to...
How old are you?
29 years old.
That's a problem. 29 year-olds are the worst.
They're always so worried.
They think they have it worse than 39 or 49-year-olds.
They think they're the only ones who are aging.
They think turning 30 is the same as turning 60.
Can I continue to work at the recording studio?
Let's talk about that later.
Gosh, my back hurts.
Can you buy me some bowls?
(Eun Ju Boarding House)
Why does she want you to buy bowls?
Why can't she buy them herself?
It's so weird.
- Thank you. - Sure.
It's not a big deal.
What about your job?
Can you keep working there?
Thank you for the meal.
She never asked me to quit.
- Thank you. - No problem.
Hello?
Yes.
What?
I'll be right there.
Hey, just a second.
Why?
How strange. The person who sells the bowls came here herself.
- Who's that? - Kim Ji Su.
- Do you know who it is? - Of course not.
What's today's soup?
Bean sprouts soup.
Did you add tofu or not?
I don't know.
- What? - Gosh, get out of the way.
It was nothing.
It was just a stranger walking up the hill.
But for some strange reason,
I couldn't take my eyes off her.
Ms. Kim Ji Su?
I felt really grateful.
And I was worried the bowls might shatter.
Here are the bowls.
Great.
You can keep them.
- Why? - Sometimes,
life surprises you with unexpected events.
But I guess she really exists.
Kim Ji Su really exists.
Do you know her?
She's just someone from my imagination.
I've been imagining her for the past nine years.
Why?
Because I've heard about her for nine years.
And?
That's it.
Anyway, I'm not interested in those bowls.
You treat them like they're nothing, but she packed them with care,
carried them on the bus, and brought them all the way up to my place.
Then she sincerely thanked me at least a hundred times.
Don't treat those bowls like they don't mean anything.
Here.
What's this?
Apparently, you'd know. It's the booking calendar for the studio.
I don't recognize any of the names.
Must you know the musicians to let them record?
- No. - So you'll be busy.
That's right.
I'll do my best.
Hi, guys!
Hello to you two as well.
Hi.
- You're here. - I can't believe it.
I thought the studio would close forever.
Me too.
- Lower the cello's mike. - Sure.
Hold on.
What happened?
What is all this?
Again?
Not again.
To Mr. Dawn.
Please clean up before you head home.
(To Mr. Dawn. Please clean up before you head home.)
A night-like afternoon.
(A night-like afternoon)
Fine, I'll do it.
I'll clean up.
I'm sorry, but who are you and why are you in there?
Is it morning?
Are you kidding me?
The spacing...
He's Mr. Dawn.
- What on earth is this? - Is there...
Gosh.
I meant to clean up, but I forgot.
Let me clean up.
Didn't you rent this place during the night?
Yes, until 4am.
Look at the time now.
I'm busy as it is.
I get to work at 8:30,
so please clean up before then. Got it?
8:30am.
Leave it open so that at least one more person can hear it.
Seo Woo!
I see you didn't get lost.
We have a recital today.
- Let me help. - It's fine.
My grandmother cared for these trees for 30 years.
All by herself? That's incredible.
She devotes her time and love to every living being.
How many will be here today?
The floor will be filled...
and the yard can accommodate more people.
I didn't expect this to be such a grand event.
Consider it as a family event.
During her days as a diplomat,
Grandmother sponsored children who were gifted in music...
and held a recital for them. She must have liked doing it.
She did something remarkable then.
Tell me about it.
The money she contributed could've bought me a building.
Grandma insists we're one big family,
but how can I accept that?
Only my uncle is family to me...
and the others are mere strangers.
Why is your uncle your only family?
Because he's handsome and competent.
Don't tell me you believed that. I was only joking.
My uncle and I share an emotional story.
I've never met anyone who sponsors others before.
Your grandmother is an inspiration.
So how about it? Do I seem more trustworthy now?
That being said...
Can you record some of Kim Ji Su's words?
- But why? - How should I know?
I don't even know what this device is for either.
With this,
the voice will sound like it's coming from right next to you.
Yes, he must want a vivid recording of her voice.
I will only do this after you tell me...
what it's for and who asked of this.
Well, this someone...
- yearns for her. - Who does?
That's all you need to know.
How can I record her voice when we're not even friends?
Who says you have to be her friend to do that?
Buy more bowls from her and meet her in the process.
Chat about meaningless things for a while,
tell her she has a nice voice, and get her to record something.
Who records someone's voice because they like the tone of it?
This isn't like getting someone's number.
"I think you have a beautiful voice. Could I please record it?"
Just do what I ask.
A record player?
That looks really old.
Does it work?
What does he have with Kim Ji Su?
Children like islands.
Who?
You asked about me and Kim Ji Su.
How long have you known each other?
The only two Korean kids in Norway...
met when they were young.
They went to middle school,
and then high school.
They met as soon as the sun rose,
and parted when the sun set.
During the white night, they were together for 24 hours.
They thought it a pity when the sun set.
- Ga. - Gya.
- Geo. - Gyeo.
- Go. - Gyo.
- Gu. - Gyu.
"A single leaf,"
"without a sound,"
"landed softly on my shoulder."
"The universe put a hand on my body."
- "It's so light." - "It's so light."
Their own language became a secret and brought them close.
They like islands.
Who are you?
Introduce yourself first.
Then I'll explain our relationship.
Why are you hiding?
Why do you need a recording of her voice?
Are you not going to meet Kim Ji Su?
What about what I asked?
I don't know.
She might do it, but then she might not.
Why did you ask me to do such a thing?
Why do you even want a recording?
A recording is enough.
I just need...
a piece of Ji Su.
Where are you right now?
Find me.
I just need a piece of Ji Su.
Hello.
Hi.
Are you done?
No, my eyes are tired. The light's not working.
It just takes a few slaps.
I'll tell the manager later on.
Oh, dear.
Gosh.
I can't see in the dark.
I can't find my way even in cinemas.
- Can you see? - Yes.
I'm used to the dark.
- Come this way. - I see that much.
Find me.
Excuse me.
From what time did you rent the studio?
I heard it was empty, so I came early.
At about 7pm?
You were here all evening, then?
Yes.
I thought I heard a similar voice.
He was hiding, so I didn't see his face.
- Hiding? - Yes.
The manager's farm.
I was there because she asked me to record something.
It was a room with an old record player.
There was no room to hide, but he hid when he talked to me.
Until when did Grandma live in Oslo?
From 1997 to 2005.
What did he say?
He told me to find him.
What did you say that made him say that?
I asked where he was and he told me to find him.
Why did you ask where he was?
Because he was talking to me from a hiding place.
How strange.
It was very strange.
So many strange things happen these days.
People I don't know make way into my life,
and ask for strange favors.
You have to work.
Time is money here.
Goodbye.
Do you understand...
someone who wants a voice recording because he misses someone?
It's not common,
but I kind of understand.
Keeping a photo and keeping a recording.
I don't see the difference.
Goodbye.
- I could do it. - Don't do it.
The woman's weird.
Why would a woman sell bowls?
- Get her recording. - Don't.
It's all a con.
Seo Woo's the idiot for getting involved.
Give her your name.
Who's the guy? One of my classmates who married...
Darn you.
Put your dirty bowls in the sink.
I finished doing the bowls. My gosh.
Should I record her voice or not?
A piece of a piece of a piece of a piece
A piece of a piece
You should open the windows once in a while when the sun is out.
Don't keep the curtains closed.
Did it also rain all day there?
The nearby mill got flooded with water.
And the same happened with the boiler room and farm.
We're the only ones who are okay because we're located up the hill.
Seo Woo, I saw a lot of young people...
taking photos and enjoying their trip today. They looked happy.
You should also date someone.
You should date while you're young.
Okay.
You should open the windows once in a while when the sun is out.
Don't keep the curtains closed.
Did it also rain all day there?
The nearby mill got flooded with water.
And the same happened with the boiler room and farm.
We're the only ones who are okay because we're located up the hill.
Seo Woo, I saw a lot of young people...
taking photos and enjoying their trip today. They looked happy.
You and I are supposed to be the only ones...
who can have a conversation with this.
Either there was an error, or it got hacked.
What is the matter with you? Why can't you keep it to yourself?
Are you serious?
I told you it can't be used four counseling...
if you can't block others from accessing the machine.
I changed the settings. It won't get hacked.
Try using it and see if you can hack it.
Does that mean it's hackable or not?
Whatever.
- My gosh. - Send me an address in Seoul...
where I can receive the parcel.
- I'll do what you asked. - Gosh, that's so complicated.
Why can't she just use the address she used last time?
Hey, send me an address in Seoul.
Then Seo Woo will do the mission.
What are you staring at?
The green leaves over there.
I feel comfortable whenever I look at anything green.
You won't be able to see it if I sit here.
- Should I sit here instead? - No, it's okay.
Do you work nearby?
Yes, it's only a few bus stops away.
I called to make an additional order.
Do you like the bowls?
The bowls go well with Korean food.
Should I send them to the same address?
No, it's not there.
Don't bring them yourself this time. They're heavy.
Let me check the address.
What was the address again? I'm getting them for a friend.
I'll write down the address.
(Prescription)
It's a prescription.
Yes, I know what kind of medicine that is.
I also visited a psychiatrist once.
These days, it's very common to see a psychiatrist.
Where should I write it down?
I'll send it to you via text.
Oh, right. Why didn't I think of that?
Every time I feel frustrated,
I go to the highest place in the neighborhood.
It feels better when you look down at the view.
They say astronauts come back with a different view of the world...
once they return from outer space.
I heard their worries becomes so minuscule.
That's why I sell bowls.
After I saw a psychiatrist,
I felt like I should do something.
So I uploaded a few of my best bowls.
And when I delivered those bowls to you,
it was my first time coming out in three months.
Just a second.
What?
You need the alphabet.
Consonants, vowels, and sentences.
What kind of sentences? You need to be more clear.
I'll send you an email.
I probably won't get it.
Hey, just check your email. Then you'll get what I mean.
Refer to the email before you record her voice.
What was that?
Let's go outside.
Ha Won, look at the ceiling.
It'll make you feel at ease.
Come in.
Stand in front of the microphone.
Me?
Say whatever you want.
- And then what? - I'll record it...
and sell it at an expensive price to whomever that misses you.
No one misses me.
I'm sure there's always at least one person who misses us.
- I'm not sure. - Just think of it comfortably.
You don't need to do it if you don't want to.
Will you show me how to do it?
First, you can begin with the alphabet.
You can start once I give you the signal.
Ga.
Gya.
Geo.
- Gyeo. - Gyeo.
- Go. - Go.
- Gyo. - Gyo.
- Gu. - Gu.
- Gyu. - Gyu.
I told her to start with the alphabet.
Let's try saying a longer sentence this time.
Let me tell you what to say.
A single...
leaf,
without a sound,
landed softly...
(A single leaf, without a sound, landed softly on my shoulder.)
landed softly on my shoulder.
The universe...
put a hand on my body.
It's...
so light.
It's...
so light.
It seems as though you had those phrases memorized.
While living in Norway, I studied Korean...
by reading Korean poems and novels.
I'll send you the bowls once I get home.
Right, the address.
Wait, this is near the cafe.
I haven't been to my friend's house before, you see.
(Select recipient)
I just sent it.
I'll get going then.
(From Han Seo Woo, 47-341, Okin-dong, Jongno-gu)
It's Ha Won, isn't it?
Is he the one who orchestrated this whole deal?
It's Ha Won, isn't it?
Is he the one who orchestrated this whole deal?
I don't know who that is.
The address you just sent me.
Only Ha Won and I know it.
I don't know who that is.
What about this address?
Who lives here?
My manager.
What's this manager's name?
Moon Sun Ho.
I guess I was wrong.
Well, even I find it absurd too.
My mind just jumped to a conclusion...
when it doesn't make sense.
Are you all right?
Good luck then.
Seo Woo.
Who was that?
My heart halted just now.
This is terrible.
The number of lies I told today...
would equal to the number I'd say in a lifetime.
Who was that woman?
Kim Ji Su.
What? Are you insane?
Why did you bring her here?
The answer is Ha Won.
He just told her who he was.
After seeing the address, she asked if he had put me up to this.
Apparently, only the two of them know about that address.
Oh, dear.
The phrases Kim Ji Su fully memorizes...
and the address she clearly remembers.
It's as if he's begging her to figure out who he is.
Anyway, it's about time that guy showed up.
Where is he?
Why would you bring her here though?
Who on earth is Ha Won?
Why do you ask?
He wants me to find him.
Ha Won said that to you?
I can't believe this.
No wonder you brought her here.
Gosh, unbelievable!
What an idiot.
That's it. I'm done.
I'm done doing any more of your favors.
A single leaf,
without a sound,
landed...
I'll be done right after I send this.
softly on my shoulder.
The universe...
Her tone has dropped slightly.
- put a hand on my body. - Sorry?
It's at about 195Hz...
and 55dB.
It's...
so light.
A depressed tone.
That's right.
Just give me a logical answer.
This recording studio is connected to a man named Ha Won.
From everything including the recording sessions,
he had it all planned out for some time now,
but he keeps himself in the shadows.
I'd call him meticulous.
Everything about him points to a woman named Kim Ji Su.
He misses her a lot.
However, she's suffering from depression.
That being said,
what if...
I let those two meet?
No, I'm just sticking my head into where it doesn't belong,
right?
I rarely get involved in others' business like this.
Why do you wish to bring them together?
I bet you don't remember...
the first impression you had of everyone.
Probably not.
Same here. I don't either.
But with some people, even though it was only in passing,
you remember how they opened the door,
if they were seated or standing,
and how you first began your conversation.
With them, that memory is always vivid.
Like how she walked up the hill...
Those are the people I rarely forget about.
That's how I felt about Ji Su which is why I want to help her.
Do you always stare at people like that?
Was I staring?
I found your reason intriguing.
It made sense too.
Did it?
The reason why one's heart moves?
You don't know why, but it just happens.
It's probably due to afterimages that are stacked upon each other.
Your first impression approach never occurred to me.
I remember the first time I saw you though.
Me too.
We met here.
You were in the booth while I was out here.
I see you don't remember.
I guess I was someone only you passed by then.
Should I let them meet?
But what if they both end up suffering?
That's their burden to share.
You should open the windows once in a while when the sun is out.
Don't keep the curtains closed.
Did it also rain all day there?
The nearby mill got flooded with water.
And the same happened with the boiler room and farm.
I don't speak with people who don't know music.
Sir. The thing is...
Here's the music person.
Since when were you a music person?
You're here. What happened is...
I don't care for the reason.
All you had to do was send a text saying the recording's canceled.
Am I wrong?
The studio was closed down,
and we assumed all previous schedules were canceled.
I heard someone reopened it.
Other recordings were scheduled instead.
Oh, so you'll do those jobs but not this?
I'll call Mr. Choi right now.
Sir. Sir. Will you just...
Let's do just one take.
I must do it?
Talk to Jin Moo about the mixing.
- Let's cancel today and... - I'll do it.
I'll discuss the mixing with Mr. Choi,
- and if it's dreadful... - Delete the track.
There will be no pay.
This hurts my pride.
Coming back hurts my pride even more.
Hello.
My goodness.
What?
I'm off to meet Kim Ji Su.
You said you wouldn't do anything.
Tell Ha Won to be there.
Hey. Are you sure about this?
What's gotten into her?
Hey. There's a call for you.
- What? - Sun Ho wants you to call.
You don't pick up at this time of day.
She freaked out at me, so it must be urgent.
(Han Seo Woo)
Welcome.
(Han Seo Woo)
Are you looking for someone?
I don't think she's here yet.
Then will you order first?
Sure.
Ji Su.
- Ji Su? - Yes, Seo Woo.
I think I'll be a bit late.
Where are you going?
I think I saw someone.
Someone I should never see.
Is it really someone you shouldn't see?
Is it Ha Won?
- If you see him... - I can't ever.
Don't turn around.
Run.
It was nothing.
It was someone I met for the first time,
but he just...
dug into my heart.
(A Piece of Your Mind)
I shouldn't have done anything.
Is there something you want to ask Ha Won?
I want to see him from afar.
I won't run away next time.
What next time?
If I can apologize...
There's nothing to apologize for.
I told you already that it's too much for me.
What do you think got him through those 10 years?
Let's go tomorrow.
