VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.
While playing the piano,
I wasn't always happy.
I probably thought I was unhappy
most of the time.
But
when I was with you,
I felt really happy.
I realized that only now.
So
I want to be happy again.
I'm sorry for being so selfish.
But
if I don't tell you how I feel,
I might not be able to
stand the pain.
I think
I'll need some time.
I hurt myself
way too much.
More than the pain you caused me,
I caused more pain for myself.
So I'll need some time.
Still
Can you wait for me?
Yes.
I'll wait.
I will wait.
EPISODE 16: CRESCENDO,
GRADUALLY LOUDER
SPICY TTEOKBOKKI
COMMEMORATION CONCER
FOR THE LATE NAH MOON SOOK
It's so beautiful.
Yes, it is.
If this were the 15th-anniversary
concert as originally planned,
Director Nah would've watched
and enjoyed it.
Oh? Isn't that Song Ah?
- Yes, it is.
- What?
Didn't you say yesterday that
she couldn't come today?
Good job.
Well done.
I didn't know you'd come today.
I'm sorry for being late.
You weren't late.
Thanks for coming.
Oh. Here you go.
LEE JUNG KYUNG
This score,
I plan to return it today.
LEE JUNG KYUNG
You gave it to me long ago.
Thanks.
I should go.
Hyeon Ho.
When
When will you come back?
I don't know.
Jung Kyung.
Take care.
Don't get sick.
Be happy.
Lee Jung Kyung?
Yes. Professor Song found out
she tutored her student in secret.
Then what happens now?
Now that Professor Song
disowned her,
she obviously
won't get to teach here.
I doubt she can teach anywhere.
Sometimes, when I'd come here,
I'd feel uncomfortable.
After my mom died,
I don't think I matured at all.
I pretended to be strong,
but I couldn't
overcome anything on my own.
I think I was just so weak.
No.
You are not
a weak person.
Someone told me
I'm playing my music
and so I should take control.
That was you.
LEE JUNG KYUNG
LEE JUNG KYUNG
I'D LIKE TO WITHDRAW
MY PROFESSOR CANDIDACY
Someone told me
I'm playing my music
and so I should take control.
That was you.
CHAE SONG AH, DOB JULY 15, 1992
GRADUATE SCHOOL, ACCEPTED
I passed.
I got into graduate school.
Oh Congratulations.
Thank you.
But
I won't enroll.
Song Ah. Take this.
UNDERGRADUATE GRADUATION RECITAL,
PARK JOON YOUNG, PIANO
I don't want to pressure you.
Yes. I know.
I decided not to enter
the Tchaikovsky competition.
Thanks to you,
I realized many things.
So I want to freely play
my own music.
Thank you.
Hello, Ms. Im.
Song Ah, you're here.
You
were very good at playing
the instrument.
You even won first place
at the Daehan Daily Competition.
Why did you choose to work here?
As for me,
instead of struggling alone
in the practice room,
I preferred to get involved
with the people outside.
I guess you can call me
a people person.
But Song Ah,
don't quit playing the instrument
all at once.
Even if you didn't play
as long as others,
you shouldn't quit so suddenly.
Gradually reduce
your practicing time
and say goodbye slowly.
Song Ah, I'm sorry.
I was stuck in traffic.
That's why we all want to work
with you.
But like I just said,
the part-time job
doesn't pay much,
and I'm not certain when
they'll hire
someone for a permanent position.
Due to these practical reasons,
can you think about it carefully
and tell me?
But I don't know
if I'll do a good job.
Song Ah, on the night of
Jo Su An's performance.
You thought of taking off
your shoes right away
and put up with her mean attitude
since she was sensitive
before a performance.
It's all because you thought of
the performer first.
The reason I'm suggesting
we work together
is because you always
think of others first
and care for the sincerely.
That's why I believe you're fit
for this job.
But still, wouldn't anyone
be able to do that?
- I
- No.
If anyone would be able to do that,
why would we be different?
There's a music term
called "crescendo",
which means gradually louder.
Yes.
If you think about that meaning
the other way,
it means you're at
the smallest point.
So you can get bigger and bigger
with time.
15 years ago,
when I interviewed
for this foundation,
I had quit figure skating,
and my self-esteem and confidence
had hit rock bottom.
But Director Nah told me this.
That the smallest moment
in your life, in other words
is the moment when
your crescendo begins.
Can you think about my offer slowly
and tell me?
Yes, I will.
She's playing without
any accompaniment today.
I know.
Don't you think it would be so hard
to play alone for 90 minutes?
Yes. But why is her profile
so short?
LEE JUNG KYUNG, VIOLIN,
B.M AT SEORYEONG UNIVERSITY
M.M AND D.M AT JUILLIARD SCHOOL
Yes?
I enjoyed your performance tonight.
Thank you.
I didn't know you'd come.
I wanted to come.
During your master class
last time
Conviction.
Where does it come from?
That's a tough question.
If you find the answer,
can you share it with me?
After hearing you play tonight,
I think you've already found
the answer.
Thank you, Song Ah.
Thanks to you,
I thought about
why I loved the violin
once again.
Since you need to
stand on two feet
to play the violin.
I liked the fact that
I have to keep myself steady
and not waver when I play.
I think that's what I liked.
Hey, Jeong Hee.
This is our chamber's
establishment performance.
Come if you have time.
Really?
By the way,
I heard that student
who used to help you quit.
Oh.
Yes, I fired her.
She seemed smart and diligent.
Well,
it's not like you can always
choose everyone you want.
I said I fired her.
Oh, I see.
Song Ah, how are you doing?
SONG AH, HOW ARE YOU DOING?
Why aren't you eating?
You don't have an appetite?
It's nothing.
When's your boyfriend's
graduation performance?
What?
Won't he perform for his graduation?
Mom.
We broke up.
Why?
It just happened.
What do you mean, "just happened"?
I don't know.
He even played for
your graduation performance.
We weren't together then either.
He just played for me
as a friend.
I felt quite grateful.
I wasn't a huge fan of you
majoring in music,
but I felt bad at
your graduation recital.
You wanted to play so badly.
It wasn't something
I could do for you.
But that day,
seeing him at your side,
I felt grateful.
I thought that
he'd have made you feel better.
Yes.
He was
TO VIOLINIST MS. CHAE SONG AH
a huge comfort.
UNDERGRADUATE GRADUATION RECITAL,

He's coming in.

UNDERGRADUATE GRADUATION RECITAL
The final piece.
Excuse me. You can't enter
during the recital.
Okay.
CLARA SCHUMANN, ROMANCE,
JOHANNES BRAHMS, INTERMEZZO
The night before their marriage,
Schumann
presented Clara with
a collection of songs
full of love and happiness.
"Widmung", the first song
in the collection
YOUR LOVE
was later on
rearranged into a piece
without lyrics
by pianist and composer Liszt.
The person
who spoke to me
with music before words
is right now,
with a wordless song,
speaking his heart to me.
You didn't have to bring these.
They looked most beautiful
at the flower shop,
but now, they seem kind of tacky.
No, they're pretty.
Go home safely then.
Okay.
I'll give her a lift
to the terminal, so don't worry.
Thank you, Young In.
Get some rest then.
- Ma'am, let's go.
- Okay.
Take care.
By the way, Joon Young.
During the last part
of your performance,
I cried.
I don't know anything about
the piano,
but strangely, I teared up.
See you, then.
Take care.
Be happy.
PARK JOON YOUNG, PIANO
Yes?
The thing is, we need to close soon.
I'm sorry, I'll be right out.
Yes?
When did you come?
I came a bit late.
So I only heard Brahms
and "Widmung".
Do you remember
when we met at the airport?
My program today.
Schumann, Clara,
and Brahms.
I thought of what you said
when I chose the songs.
I want to play Brahms
more from now on.
You asked me before
if we could be friends, right?
I received so much consolation
from you.
Consolation as a friend.
That's why I
came here as a friend today.
But now, I don't think
I can remain
as friends anymore.
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
Rather than the pain I felt
while I loved him,
I love you.
I finally realized
the consolation and happiness
I felt
while I loved him
was much bigger.

2021 GRADUATION CEREMONY
Song Ah.
Joon Young.
I looked for you everywhere.
Is this where you were?
Yes.
Is that true?
- I really mean it.
- This tastes good.
Attention, please.
- I'm moving.
- When?
- Where?
- Next month.
It's about 20 minutes away
from here.
You're moving? Why so suddenly?
They'll tear down this building
and put up a new one.
- Oh.
- I see.
So this will be the last time
we gather
at Intermission.
It feels stranger since
I have to move my workshop too.
That's true.
I understand.
Let's stop being sad and drink.
Okay, let's say cheers.
I'd like to congratulate
Min Seong and Song Ah's graduation.
And congratulations on
CEO Yoon's new beginning.
- Congratulations.
- Cheers.
Mom.
Yes?
Get divorced.
With Dad.
It's not because
Dad makes my life difficult.
Mom, I hope
you
start living your own life.
- Bye.
- Good night.
You'll go to the US to study
even after getting
a doctor's degree?
Gosh, do you like chemistry
that much?
Yes. I like it.
I just love it.
Bring your cello before you leave.
I'll make sure it stays
nice and sturdy in the US.
Okay, I will. Thanks.
Do you really think she'll be okay?
If she quits practicing under
Professor Song
I've already made up my mind.
I think it's more important
for Ji Won
to play the violin happily.
Please teach Ji Won, Ms. Lee.
Can you do that?
Yes.
I look forward to it too.
Thank you, Ms. Lee.
Thank you so much.
Starting this March,
I'll become an instructor
at Ji Won's school.
When the semester begins,
you can change
her special instructor to me.
Okay.
By the way, ma'am.
There was something
I wanted to tell you.
Yes?
I want to lend
Ji Won my violin.
Joon Young, do you like spicy food?
- Yes.
- Really?
This place has a level-3
spicy tteokbokki.
Do you want to try that?
Yes, let's eat what you want.
Okay, it looks delicious.
Joon Young, do you really like
spicy food?
Yes, I do.
Really?
Yes, I do.
For real. I love it.
For real? Do you really like it?
Well, the thing is
I can't eat a lot of spicy food.
I knew it. It seemed so.
The level-1 tteokbokki
tastes good too.
Let's have that.
No, you can eat the level-3.
Just eat what you want.
I'm really okay.
Then is it okay if we eat
something else
besides level-3?
- Ma'am, we'll have the level-2.
- Okay.
That's a good choice.
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
- Do you like it?
- Yes.
Will you really be okay?
If you sell your violin.
Yes.
When I first started working,
I promised to practice at lunchtime
for two months.
Because they told me to take time
to say goodbye
before I totally quit.
But as time passed,
I kept forgetting to practice.
I was busy with work
and had to eat lunch
with my colleagues.
And with Joon Young as well.
I made excuses to put off
my practice
and sometimes,
I even forgot my violin
and left it at home.
The callus on my fingers
is almost gone too.
This scar will fade away soon too.
And I will
be okay.
As you said, since an instrument
has a soul,
now, I want to send it to someone
who can care for it
and love it more.
Okay.
Come to think of it, this violin
is a lot like its owner.
What? How?
When its bridge collapsed,
it endured it strongly.
I'm sure this violin received
more love from you
and was happier after it met you.
Oh, hold on.
Sorry, but I need to go out
for a second.
Okay, go on.
- I'll be right back.
- Okay.
Thank you
for everything.
Bye.
Take care.
Be happy.
Goodbye.

For Joon Young's piano selection,
we'd like to request
his usual three pianos.
Sure.
So, he'll be flying in
from Shanghai directly,
and then return to Berlin
from Seoul.
Sounds good.
Sorry that we can't give you
a few extra days in Seoul.
It's okay. I totally understand.
From Shanghai directly, and then
return to Berlin from Seoul.

I'm hungry. Let's go and get lunch.
Joon Young, shall we head out?
- Song Ah.
- Yes?
I'll put it on for you.
Will you put mine on too?
I love you.
I'm saying the important info first.
Me too.
I also love you.
Hello.
Hello.

PLANNED BY CHAE SONG AH
That day,
I don't remember what my wish was.
But at the time,
I already knew.
Because of this man,
even if I get hurt
over and over again,
I will
go on loving.
That's why
Song Ah.
I'll go on dreaming.
Even if I get hurt again,
with all my heart,
I will love again
and walk straight ahead.
