Episode 1

Close your eyes.

Now!

Don't tell anyone what you saw.

What's your name?

Yoo Gi-hyun.

You didn't see anything.

You play so well just by listening to the radio.

Study in Tokyo and you'll be able to impress a lot of people.

Maybe even impress the angels in heaven.

I owe your dad way more than what I managed to do for you.

Please don't say that.

I wouldn't be here if it weren't for you.

Take care, OK?

- Bye. - Goodbye.

- I'll come visit. - Sure.

Bring your fiancee over when you have one.

OK.

See you.

Hello.

Hey, you made it.

I'm sorry, Mother. I can't do this. In-hee

Hey!

Hey!

Don't do this!

Hey!

Stop!

Hey!

- What's got into you?! - That...

- Let's go. - Let go of me!

- Come on, now! - That piece of paper!

I need that. It has someone's address on it.

Whose address is it?

What do you care?

I got into Behwa College. This person is paying my tuition.

Do you have a pen and paper?

If it's that important, why didn't you memorize it?

Do you have a place to stay?

The landowners are waiting for you.

Are they? Then let's hurry.

Yong-nam.

Hey, Gi-hyun.

You're moving to the capital today?

Yeah. And we meet on the train.

What a coincidence.

- You look great. - It's been years.

Hello, ma'am.

She's here somewhere.

Just wait till I get my hands on her.

I'll make her pay for running away.

I love dealing with ignorant landowners.

The price of land will jump ten times when the factory is built next year.

The poor fools just don't know it yet.

We must find her!

Leaving me at the altar!

Don't worry.

The only way out of here is by train.

Let's wait for her here.

His wife-to-be left him at the altar?

I'll break her legs, just watch!

I'll sit in the back. We have a lot of luggage.

Ah, do we? OK, then.

I'm too embarrassed to face my friends.

You can't force anyone to do what they don't want to.

We can't afford her tuition.

The man even offered to pay our share of the expenses.

You just had to give away all we had to those freedom fighters...

I wish we knew where to find her.

She'll be in touch if she cares at all.

If not, she doesn't deserve to be our daughter.

Sir.

Sir.

You know me, right?

I want my saxophone back.

I pawned it off.

- I promise I'll get it back. - You'd better...

I hope there's not a single scratch on it.

If there is, I'll buy you a new one.

Do you even know what it is?

I do.

It's an instrument.

It's the only thing my dad left me.

Wait for me here.

I just paid my tuition.

I'm sure I can get a refund.

Forget it.

Can you afford to get to Tokyo?

No.

Worry about yourself, miss.

What about the cost of living?

I'll study hard for a scholarship,

and work hard to earn my living expenses.

Good idea.

You'll do just fine. You seem to be a pretty tough girl.

I don't know your name.

Yoo Gi-hyun.

Thank you for the Yoo Gi-hyun Scholarship.

I promise to pay you back someday.

Three years later

Haven't you had enough to drink?

OK, fine, we won't have any more.

- Has Gi-hyun gone home? - He's still practicing.

Still? No wonder he became the best in Tokyo in just three years.

Oh, here you all are.

Hello, sir.

Gi-hyun's left for the night?

Why is everyone looking for him?

- He only wrote a few songs. - Gi-hyun.

But all of them are smash hits.

Mr. Yoo Gi-hyun.

Just sign the contract already.

You won't find a better deal.

How much money is it you want?

I'm not good at writing songs for record labels.

You won't sign with someone else, will you?

I won't.

OK, then. Good.

You promised.

I'm off, everyone.

- OK, goodbye. - Bye.

He's going to lose out.

Why don't you just join a band, then?

You know him, he wants to be free.

You'll end up working hard labor.

People without jobs all end up building roads or mining for coal.

Anyway, the local radio station needs a band.

I've been asked to conduct.

- Really? - Yeah.

You'll join the band, right?

Of course.

You too, Gi-hyun?

Why won't you talk?

Isn't this the famous Miss Lee Ok-hee?

For another fight I guess?

You didn't come to my show. I reserved the best seat for you.

Tell me why.

I want ten reasons or I'll throw you under the bridge.

- I went. - What?

The place was empty, so I just left.

No way, Muhak Hall, 7PM.

Oh... I heard Muak Hall.

He's lying.

One more word from you and you're fired.

Here, why not unwind with a drink?

Yoo Gi-hyun.

I won't let you go.

Let's just be lovers.

- OK? - People will talk.

Gi-hyun!

- Gi-hyun! - Ok-hee...

- Jeez... - Gi-hyun.

You're back late. You said you have to be up early.

Something came up. I'll just take a nap.

Why are you up so early?

Radio station's hiring today. I have to set things up.

Please don't worry about me.

I graduated just fine, and my first job interview is today.

- Miss. - Yes?

Why is the rice so overcooked?

It's just fine.

I wanted it overcooked.

Why? You're not feeling well?

Miss Jung's job interview is today.

He's just worried she'll get all nervous or get sick.

Seung-mo, drive her in my car.

No thank you, sir. I'll walk.

Just let me do something for you.

You're both going in that direction anyway.

I don't need the car until later.

We're in a hurry.

Dad.

- Let's listen to her sing. - Soon-ee.

Soon-ee.

Dad.

Don't move!

Don't do this to my dad!

You owe us a fortune.

AND you pick a fight with a bystander?!

Yong-nam!

Dad, dad...

Run away. Run away.

Soon-ee.

Dad...

You peasants...

Soon-ee!

Hang in there.

Wait, stop the car.

Stop the car.

Wait here.

In-hee. We're late, come back.

I'm number 47.

You're too late.

I'm sorry I'm late.

But please let me interview.

Please.
