Soundtrack #1 (Saundeuteuraek #1 / 사운드트랙 #1)

It's a test shot.

How is it?

Do I look pretty?

You look like yourself.

So I do look pretty.

Ready.

Anyway, stop taking your ID photos here.

-This isn't a photo studio. -(camera shutter clicks)

It's better than a photo studio. Why would I go and pay someone else

when my friend makes a living with photography?

-You don't pay me either. -But I let you hang out with me.

I've been saying it for the past 20 years. Just let me hang out by myself.

To be accurate, 19 years.

We started hanging out since we were nine years old.

Ready.

Okay.

EPISODE 1

You know,

all your photos are so somber.

Why? I'm not sure.

This is just a picture of a puppy, but it's sad.

And this is just a picture of a tree...

...but it's somber for some reason.

That just means you've gotten old.

Old enough to relate to the captured emotion or the moment.

Mm-hm.

Did you take these with a film camera too?

Yeah. All of those there.

There are so many great digital cameras. Why do you insist on film?

You can review the same shot a hundred times on a digital camera,

but with film, you only get one chance to capture the moment.

I like the significance of singularity.

Pretty deep, Han Sunwoo.

I guess your exhibition is going to be another sold-out show, Mr. Han.

All done.

My, look.

What?

I'm way too pretty.

What...

This is why I keep coming to you. You always get my best angles.

This is amazing.

What is this?

Is this yours?

How old are you?

Please don't touch my stuff.

Oh, right. You still have the pictures we took from our trip last year, right?

-Why? -My mom deleted the pictures by accident.

But I don't have them either. Send them together with these.

I don't have them. I delete pictures right away.

Try looking for them, at least.

Geez... I really don't have those pictures. I deleted them to make space.

You probably put them away in some folder and forgot.

Didn't you say you have a meeting with a composer? Aren't you running late?

I did, what time is it?

Oh, no!

-Hey, Sunwoo! How do I look? -What?

-Looking great. -(mouse clicks)

Look before you answer.

So pretty.

I'm out. Look for those pictures!

-Hey, Eunsoo. -Hey. Good to see you too.

Yeah, it was good seeing you!

My bad, did you wait long? The recording took longer than expected.

Not at all. I just arrived too.

Try this.

It's really good.

JEJU MANDARIN JUICE

Please sit. Why are you standing?

Oh, okay.

Thanks for your work.

I bet you couldn't even sleep.

Oh, not at all. I'm wired to fall asleep anywhere I rest my head.

I'm not narcoleptic or anything but...

Anyway, I don't feel...

too tired these days.

Okay. I took a look at your draft.

How was it?

Eunsoo, have you ever experienced unrequited love?

Why do you ask?

The lyrics aren't bad.

Mm-hm. The refrain is good.

But...

it's just too lighthearted.

It doesn't feel real.

Ah...

The pain and sorrow of not being able to be with the one you love.

Have you never felt anything like that before?

Uh...

All right.

We have three minutes in a song to inspire people.

Even a single photograph needs to convey and invoke emotion to be received as art.

How can we inspire people with our song when it doesn't convey any real emotion?

Don't you agree?

Ah...

You're right.

Thank you for your hard work anyway. It's a shame, but we have no choice.

It's Jay Jun's new single, and we can't delay anymore.

When I have something else for you, I'll let you know.

I have to get to my next appointment. Please excuse me.

Please wait! Mr. Kang!

One moment, please.

What do you mean? Postpone the exhibition?

I've been thinking about it, and this is for the best, Donghyeon.

Wow.

The horoscopes are on point today.

"You will be shocked by unexpected news."

You've worked on this for a whole year. And now you want to start from scratch?

-Hold up. -(chair thuds)

At least tell me why. Why are you doing this all of a sudden?

Your photographs... really are so good!

What's the problem?

I just feel like an impostor.

It all feels fake.

I see.

Mm...

Sunwoo, every budding artist goes through the same phase.

So I totally understand.

But think about it. You were like this last time too.

You said it wasn't ready, but it was a huge success. Remember?

It was a huge success!

It's different from last time.

I can't even look at my own photographs.

And you want me to present that to the people?

I can't do that.

No. I won't.

Can I just take a break for a while?

I don't think I can go on like this.

I'm sorry.

Well, Sunwoo.

Getting started without you, hurry.

Let's just calm down

and think about...

I'm going to get going. I'll see you at home.

No, see me here, Sunwoo!

Hey, Sunwoo! I'm going to faint!

You think I'm joking? Hey, Sunwoo!

Sunwoo...

MARRIED COUPLE

It's freezing.

Hey, Mr. Han!

-It's been a while, Mari. -Welcome, Sunwoo.

Hey, she's over there.

-Rolled omelet to Table Two, Mari. -Coming.

Go talk to her.

I think she got rejected again. Go.

Drinking on an empty stomach again?

Oh, you're here.

Sunwoo. -Yeah?

Do you know anything about unrequited love?

That's out of the blue.

He says that my lyrics lack authenticity

and are utterly devoid of emotions.

So the lyrics are about unrequited love this time.

-It's so frustrating. -(crockery clangs)

I poured my heart out into those lyrics. What's so special about unrequited love?

If you feel fuzzy, if you like him, if you miss him, then just ask him out!

It's that simple.

Why does unrequited love have to be so sad and painful?

-(slams table) -I'd say...

it's more like stupid than unrequited.

Did I just rhyme? I should write it down.

I'm writing it down. Unrequited...

Stupid...

So, they rejected your lyrics this time too?

Yes, for now.
