Is it really someone you shouldn't see?
I can't ever.
I just need a piece of Ji Su.
It was nothing.
It was someone I met for the first time,
but he just dug into my heart.
(Kim Ji Su)
Why did you do that?
I'm sorry,
but I heard you two were long-time friends.
Friends?
As if you know anything about us.
I just...
Did Ha Won put you up to this?
I don't know. I honestly don't know who he is.
I...
All I wanted was to do you a favor.
Do you know what his last words to me were?
"Call me when your life becomes miserable."
Misery found me...
but I never contacted him.
I won't ever. Do you know why?
It's because...
(Episode 2)
(To Mr. Dawn)
Mr. Dawn, the two weren't able to meet,
but maybe it was for the best.
Maybe I shouldn't have gotten involved at all.
I wonder what their story is.
(External input)
Mr. Lee Han Seok traveling to Alberta.
Mr. Lee Han Seok.
Excuse me.
Please come to Gate 7 on the 4th floor...
near the M elevator.
Hey.
Where are you?
I'm at...
Okin-dong in Jongno-gu.
It's Ha Won.
This is the address?
Yes.
What is this place?
When we talked,
I noticed the address on the wall.
Doesn't it look so sweet?
A typical Korean house.
Since when were you in Seoul?
I wasn't.
Where are you coming from?
- A lecture. - You flew in from the US?
You wanted to see me, so I left during a lecture.
It sounds like important news.
Let's get some fresh air first.
I'm okay now.
Still, you should be careful. Your mom will tell me off.
It's really okay.
There's a park. Let's go there.
Your mom always used to say,
"Ha Won can't live in Seoul."
"He'll get rashes all over and can't survive."
"He must live close to trees."
That was when I was young. I'm totally fine now.
Say what you want to say. You said it's important.
Why the rush?
"What would Korea be like with you?"
"Korea... Korea..."
We only imagined it and now we're both here.
Let's take our time.
Are you free?
Yes.
- Shall we go there? - You want to go somewhere?
The place you wanted to go to.
Me?
"A single leaf, without a sound,"
"landed softly on my shoulder."
"The universe put a hand on my body."
"It's so light."
"Misiryeong Valley Sunset".
It's beautiful.
Ha Won. Look over there.
It's a place we only imagined.
I'm so glad we came here together.
Now I can tell you.
I'm getting married.
(A Piece of Your Mind)
So what? She ran away?
She didn't exactly run away.
It's the same thing. Why did she run away?
She fell out of love and dumped him.
My gosh. I don't believe it.
Ji Su dumped him?
I'll plant a cluster of herbs here,
and when I have guests,
- I'll make them tea. - You'll never tell me.
After he broke up with Ji Su, he told me...
I couldn't believe it.
When my grandma was a diplomat, she said...
sometimes the Korean expats are victimized.
She felt a lot of guilt about not being able to help them.
Things are different now.
Anyway, for reasons similar to that,
Ha Won ended up on his own and Grandma brought him over.
That's how he became my uncle.
- I told you before, right? - The really smart guy.
The first time I met the kid...
The two of us are friends.
I call him uncle and by his name.
I call him lots of things, but it's the same guy.
He was in a lecture in the US,
but he got a call from Ji Su and boarded a plane.
He came to Seoul then and hasn't left since.
Where is this place?
(47-435 Okin-dong, Jongno-gu)
Uncle?
Sun Ho.
I witnessed the beginning of the persistent unrequited love.
Oh, that place was that address.
What's wrong with you?
Why did that make me so sad?
Where did you live?
That question is blocked.
What does that have to do with research?
Where did you stay with Kim Ji Su?
Oslo. Seoul.
Gangneung.
When did you go to Gangneung with Ji Su?
We broke up there,
and I stayed there alone for a few months.
- What year was that? - 2013.
2013?
It was when we were developing the GPS tracker.
Where did you live is a blocked question,
but when I ask where you stayed with Ji Su,
you spilled everything.
If I mention Ji Su,
it'll answer any question. Isn't that weird?
I think it's related to the trigger point.
Change the password setting.
Are there any other issues?
None if it's not your device.
We'll train it with virtual patients,
improve the accuracy, then share it with the hospital.
We need to test this...
with real patients for better accuracy.
So...
this should be scrapped.
Let's end the unofficial tests that we've kept to ourselves.
- What? - What?
Well... I always talked to that thing.
And it responded to all the nonsense I said.
I feel a little sad...
thinking that I'll no longer be able to talk to it.
What?
It's for therapy.
Yes, it's for therapy.
What do you think, Seo Woo?
I like it.
Why don't you mix it yourself?
What?
But I'm not...
You need to practice to improve.
You have good ears, so I'm sure you'll do well.
Thank you.
It's weird to see everyone here.
Everyone here including myself used to be the original members.
What did you hear from the recording studio?
Hasn't anyone told you anything yet?
No, not yet.
We're planning to record this week.
And?
You can come by and take a look if you want.
It's a small studio, but the sound comes out great.
You'll learn a few things.
Right.
(To Mr. Dawn, the two weren't able to meet,)
(but maybe it was for the best.)
I wonder if Mr. Dawn no longer comes here.
Excuse me.
She told you that her life is miserable?
Her life was miserable, but she refused to talk to him.
So that means her life is miserable.
I'm going to stop getting involved.
You can drink if you want. I don't drink.
No, it's okay.
I feel bad for that guy named Ha Won.
I don't get why you feel bad for him.
He's just like me.
How so?
He believes in something that's not even there.
I'm really good at doing that.
I do my best to get what I want, dream of things,
overanalyze all the time,
and use up a lot of my affection, time, and sincerity.
But he stood strong for over 10 years.
Who likes someone for that long these days?
These days, people compete with love.
People always fight about who loves whom more.
Love is unmeasurable, but people are always busy measuring things.
But on the other hand, he just wants a piece of her.
He told you a lot of things.
I wonder how he managed to keep liking her for 10 years.
I'm so curious.
Wouldn't it be possible if someone's that precious?
I think it's possible if that person is what keeps you grounded.
Just a few words are enough to keep people grounded.
"Just a few words".
If I hear something I want to hear, I think that will enable me...
to keep going for about three more years.
But no one's ever said it to me.
"I want you to stay."
The realtor called me numerous times...
and asked me to sell the semi-basement room.
If it weren't for you, I would've sold it right away.
"Seo Woo."
"I want you to stay."
I'll be off now.
Okay. Bye, Seo Woo.
The cello doesn't sound right. Do you hear that?
- "Seo Woo." - You're right.
"I want you to stay."
I wonder what Ha Won will do next.
He probably won't do anything.
Really? Are you sure?
(Rice)
I heard you're miserable.
You call me in years,
and that's what you say to me?
I told you to call me.
I could instantly tell from behind that you're miserable.
Why did you run when you can't even run that well?
It's been so long.
I'm not miserable.
Then why did you run away?
Because you showed up out of nowhere.
Then how was I supposed to show up?
Ha Won, I can't talk to you right now.
- Let's talk next time... - When?
I'll call you back in 20 minutes.
(Ha Won)
My fiance knows you.
I think he's bothered by you.
Who is he? How does he know me?
We were together ever since you left.
You met him in Norway?
But I can't think of anyone...
Can you not guess?
Please.
Do you love him?
Well...
I think he turns me into a better person.
We both like the same kind of music...
So...
do you love him?
Yes.
I hope you respect my decision.
Of course, I respect your decision.
But...
you can go ahead and get married.
Meanwhile, I'm going to keep loving you.
My love for you...
won't affect your life in any kind of way at all.
I promise I won't disturb you. So don't worry...
and respect my choice too.
I believe you'll have a happy life.
And you should.
But...
do call me when life gets miserable.
(Ji Su)
The voice recording, the bowls, and the delivery address.
That was all you, wasn't it?
Why though?
It was a message.
I was reminding you...
to call me if you're miserable.
I was going to do this every 10 years,
but I caught you on my first try.
That again?
I can't say that I'm perfectly happy,
but I can't say that I'm miserable either.
I'm somewhat unhappy but somewhat in bliss.
You're being cryptic.
Have a good life.
- Ji Su... - I won't run next time.
Happy now?
Ji Su.
"Ji Su..."
It's been a while since I heard that.
Ha Won, my life is not that bad,
so don't worry.
I was going to ask you before throwing it out.
Why would you get rid of it?
Put this outside on a rainy day.
That sometimes spruces it up.
It's known to enjoy the sweet taste of rain.
What if someone steals it?
Seriously? It's better than...
throwing it away and letting it die.
- Welcome! - Do you make deliveries?
Yes, of course.
It's like he doesn't remember me.
Are you looking for something in particular?
- Something small. - Check the plants over there.
You can take your time.
Hello, this is Han Seo Woo.
Yes, Seo Woo.
Is that Seo Woo?
Hello.
I recognized you the moment you walked in.
- Don't you remember me? - Hello?
I'm here, go ahead.
The cello sonata recorded...
was confirmed by Mr. Choi.
The file has been sent via email.
I mixed it myself...
and Mr. Choi gave me his approval.
I'd like you to hear it as well.
It's my first, you see.
- Congrats. I'll check it out. - Congrats on what?
I'll ask her myself once you hang up.
Someone here wants to call you.
Oh, I see.
Have a good day then.
You hung up already? Now I feel bad.
Han Seo Woo.
Seo Woo, I hear I should congratulate you on something.
Of course, I know.
The world is a small place.
Could you come here if you're not too busy?
I'll give you the address.
There's something I want to ask.
Am I allowed to always be at the studio?
Even when...
there is no recording scheduled? I'm usually always there anyway.
I don't know.
Then give me an answer...
so that I can decide whether or not to care for the place.
Is that how you usually operate?
Of course. I care for every inch of the place I work at.
In that case, your question seems reasonable.
Hold on.
Yes?
Ask her to be there.
Okay.
You're good.
Sorry?
You're to be there.
You're to always be at the studio.
Is it Ha Won who's giving those orders?
Your world has been revolving around Ha Won lately, hasn't it?
Well, I've been someone important to him.
As if. He doesn't consider anyone to be important to him.
Let's head inside.
(Ji Su)
Hey.
I was busy doing the laundry to pick up earlier.
What's up?
You're even doing laundry now?
All I can do is scoff at those words.
You called for no reason, didn't you?
Yes.
You're here.
(Ji Su)
(Shindongmun Station)
What other messages did you send?
Just a second ago,
the sky darkened and it started to rain.
- Yes. - That's my message too.
The sun rising and setting,
the wind blowing, it raining, and everything.
Everything you saw and heard.
That's my message for you to be happy no matter where you are.
It's from Kang In Wook.
Jin Moo, must the recording be on the day after tomorrow?
- Yes, probably. - How many hours do we get?
An hour. This place isn't easy to book.
Record what I'll be playing.
Han Seo Woo.
Ms. Han, can you turn up the volume for the piano?
Sure thing.
Find me.
Maybe it wasn't a person talking.
Wait here.
In Wook.
If we could apologize...
To whom?
Should we go to Oslo?
Shall we go?
You'll just talk to thin air. Just say it now.
If I could...
apologize to Ha Won...
You're not in touch anymore.
I have his email address.
- If I call... - There's nothing to apologize for.
It weighs too much on me.
I told you already that it's too much for me.
Ji Su.
It's not a problem as long as you're okay with it.
The mess we're in now...
No.
It's your problem now.
I saw you come in.
Do you know this place?
It's my favorite cafe. Isn't it nice here?
You were looking at something.
I was people-watching.
I do that a lot.
On your own?
In case someone comes.
I'm so dull-witted.
I'll sit at another table.
I have some good news.
I can come to the recording studio whenever I want.
Congratulations. I don't go there anymore.
You're done?
Now in the mornings, there won't be any coffee, music
or cleaning up to do.
I guess not.
Right here.
This is where Ha Won failed to meet Ji Su.
And I almost saw him.
Is there something you want to ask Ha Won?
No.
I just want to see him from afar.
From afar?
His full face. From afar.
Why from afar?
If we're close, he'll see that I pity him.
The look on my face.
I just want to see what he looks like.
A guy who looks like that went through that.
I just want to see his face. Why would I ask him anything?
You should work at the studio that wants you to stay for a long time.
Okay.
You can stay here.
You said you're waiting for someone.
I doubt they'll come.
They must. I can sit...
I have many other favorite cafes. I'll go somewhere else.
I feel rotten to know I won't see him again.
Ha Won.
Shall we go to Norway?
When?
Tomorrow works.
Why?
I need your help.
I need you to do something there.
What?
You just have to say one thing.
What one thing?
I'll say it now.
It's...
It's fine. Tell me.
I'll hear it first, then help you.
I shouldn't have brought it up. Sorry.
- I'll call you... - Let's go. Tomorrow.
I'll help first, then listen.
Okay. Let's meet at that cafe.
I know.
The one you ran away from.
See you there tomorrow morning.
There's nothing to apologize for.
It weighs too much on me.
I told you already that it's too much for me.
No. Forget it.
I'll call you again in the evening. I'll think about it some more.
Think about what?
It might be hard for you.
See you tomorrow.
Did you come to the cafe?
Yes.
You can wait inside.
Thank you.
Leave.
I'll stay and find out the reason.
Again, I'm sorry about what happened that day.
Let me know when you're free.
(To Kim Ji Su. Again, I'm sorry...)
(about what happened that day. Let me know when you're free.)
(I'm nearby.)
I'm nearby.
Over here.
It's either a gift or a small burden.
- What is it? - A plant.
You can keep it if you know how to take care of it.
If not, you just need to water it every now and then.
It's a little sensitive.
I'm great at growing plants.
Then it's a gift. You can keep it.
What were you doing nearby?
I needed to make a decision.
I'm going to leave on my own.
I'm a little scared, but I'm still going to go.
It bothers me a little to hear that you're scared.
I'll be fine.
I've become a lot more courageous after having talked to you.
You can tell me more.
I'm ready to listen to anything you have to say.
You gave me a gift, so go ahead and tell me whatever.
You can even tell me what bothers you.
Before...
I met my husband,
something happened to him.
He made a mistake.
And I've been struggling...
ever since I found out.
It turned my entire world upside down.
I never knew...
how it felt...
to be in torment.
This...
This feeling...
You didn't go to the mountains, did you?
I told you to go somewhere high.
It really helps to look down at the view.
You can even shout at the top of your lungs.
Would you like to shout in there?
It's completely soundproof and a great way to relieve your stress.
This isn't exactly what you want to hear, is it?
There's probably something else that you want to hear.
Something that will put your mind at ease.
"It's okay."
"It's not a big deal."
Everyone makes mistakes.
Even nature makes mistakes.
My parents...
passed away due to a forest fire.
I rarely tell people this.
Even nature makes mistakes.
It's okay. It's not a big deal.
Wait.
(To Mr. Dawn. Please clean up before you head home.)
"A night-like afternoon".
Even lifeless things fall sometimes.
They're all machines in there. It's funny that it just fell.
What is this?
This...
I think Mr. Dawn wrote this.
I wonder what his job is.
This is a flowchart.
"Mr. Dawn"?
He rents this place for four hours at dawn.
So I call him Mr. Dawn.
I actually ran into him yesterday at the cafe...
that we frequently went to.
He told me he won't be coming here anymore.
He suddenly called out of nowhere and asked if I was miserable.
And I was so puzzled.
But I guess this is how he did it.
You told me that you've never met Ha Won, right?
No, I only saw his back from afar.
I think you'll meet him soon.
Or you might've met him already.
What?
I'm relieved.
Is something bothering you?
I just can't seem to focus.
This is our last day.
We just need to record one more piece. Then it'll be over.
Why did she go?
Why did she have to go?
- Here you go. - Thank you.
In Wook sure isn't himself.
It was great. That was amazing.
So she didn't come today either.
I'm sure she will someday though.
When she does, I'll tell her how long you waited.
I hope your patience is rewarded.
Don't you go back on that promise.
I won't.
Look at the size of the moon today. It's as if it's rolling toward us.
Make a wish.
It'll come true.
Hello?
This place...
is blinding.
It's amazing here.
Now I realize...
why I've been living my life the way I have.
My anxiety is gone too.
Where are you right now?
On the path Ha Won and I always used to walk on.
In Norway?
I don't know how I managed to forget about this place.
Is this the normal tone your voice carries?
Talk about it being different.
I'm glad you went there.
I can handle it all, you know.
I'm quite strong.
I'm glad I came here by myself though.
Seo Woo,
could you tell Ha Won not to wait for me at the cafe anymore?
I left Korea without telling him.
Being the stubborn guy he is, he'll keep on waiting.
But I don't know who he is.
The answer's easy.
Consider it as a pop quiz.
I'll call you in a while, so get thinking.
Here's a hint.
You've already met him.
I'll call you back.
But...
Who on earth is Ha Won?
Wouldn't it be possible if someone's that precious?
I think it's possible if that person is what keeps you grounded.
No way.
Misery found me but I never contacted him.
She told you that her life is miserable?
"I want you to stay."
You're to be there. You're to always be at the studio.
You should work at the studio that wants you to stay for a long time.
Was that you as well?
Ms. Moon?
I haven't played the piano in a while.
Your favorite piano student didn't turn out to be gifted.
Only you didn't know.
Living in Seoul hasn't irritated Ha Won's skin.
He's quite healthy.
I loved you so much,
and not just as Ha Won's mom.
May I...
apologize instead?
(Kim Ji Su)
Is it really Mr. Dawn? Ha Won is Mr. Dawn?
Hello?
This place...
The signal...
Ji Su?
Seo Woo. Did I get through?
I was afraid.
What's the matter?
It snowed so much here.
My old neighborhood is just up the trail.
Can't you walk along a larger road?
I can't go anywhere right now.
I'll get better when it stops snowing.
Are you listening to music?
It sounds nice.
It's scary...
but beautiful.
I was always here with Ha Won.
Did you call for rescue?
They must have something like that there.
They're coming.
Then hang up. Save your battery.
I should do that.
Ga.
Gya.
Gyeo.
Go.
Gyo.
Ga.
- Ga. - Gya.
- Geo. - Gyeo.
- Go. - Gyo.
- Gu. - Gyu.
- Geu. - Gi.
- Na. - Nya.
- Neo. - Nyeo.
- No. - Nyo.
- Nu. - Nyu.
Neu.
Ga.
Gya.
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.
A single leaf,
without a sound,
landed...
softly...
Stop looking outside the window.
Look at the ceiling.
It'll make you feel at ease.
Yes, Ji Su.
Now...
I'll stop waiting.
Wait just a moment.
Wait. Ha Won.
In case someone comes.
Ha Won.
Wait just a moment.
Ji Su.
Hello? Ji Su.
I'm scared.
(Kim Ji Su)
(A Piece of Your Mind)
"Find me."
Tell Ha Won that...
Kim Ji Su won't come back.
She left everything behind. She loved Norway.
Why didn't you pick up? Where were you?
Ha Won! I was worried about Ha Won!
What did you imagine?
A conversation with the real Kim Ji Su.
Shall I lend you the device?
This person is curious about everything about you.
This is how I miss someone.
The last person you saw...
and talked to.
