DO DO SOL SOL LA LA SOL
EPISODE 9
Do you remember our first time here?
Of course.
I remember all the moments we were together.
How could I not? You always asked me for money.
Lend me some money. Could you keep lending me money?
I've recorded them all.
I will pay you back.
The record is precious to me.
I didn't know at first.
But looking back, they were all happy memories.
You know what?
You'd make an excellent loan shark.
-It suits you perfectly. -You're right.
I've rediscovered myself.
-It's fascinating. -What is?
I never expected us to turn out this way.
When do you think it all began?
On my wedding day?
I think…
Oh, my goodness!
Be gentle.
…I was a mess every time we met.
Jun!
And every time, the person who protected me…
was you, Jun.
A while ago,
you said that I was the joy that came into your depressed life, right?
You're the lucky charm that came into my hopeless life.
Thank you for liking someone like me.
No, I'm more thankful that you've remained by my side.
-Ra-ra. -Yes?
I won't let go of you
no matter what.
I hope you do the same.
That was so pretty.
-Was someone here? -Why?
There's dirt on the floor.
Mimi must've been eating plants again.
Mimi.
Look at you.
RA-RA, SOMEONE WAS HERE
Mimi.
I told you not to eat the plants because they're Jun's.
It's okay, Mimi.
JUN, I SAID SOMEONE WAS HERE!
I'm going to learn piano. Would you like to listen to me play?
THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING
Now, follow me.
Now, speed up.
LALA PIANO LAND
Now's not the time for you to be hanging out like that, kid.
DIRECTOR CHU
Who's calling you at this hour?
Gosh, they must've called the wrong number.
Why are they calling me at this hour?
The person you are calling is…
What?
Damn it.
DIRECTOR CHU
The phone is turned off.
Why isn't she picking up?
Hasn't she been breathing down my neck all this time?
Who the hell is he?
If you don't find anything within a week,
I'll fire you and hire a different company.
It can't be.
Did she hire someone else without even telling me?
Damn it.
Hey, you!
Don't you have any business ethics, you punk?
I've finally managed to get my job done,
-so how dare you take it from me? -Sorry?
Who are you affiliated with, you bastard?
How dare you not reveal yourself?
You bastard!
If I catch you, you're dead meat.
What a little rat.
Where in the world is he hiding?
Damn it.
Gosh, seriously.
Why does he keep tailing me?
This isn't the first time.
I'm sorry.
Could you pack a little bit for me?
You know that Ha-yeong is such a picky eater.
She only eats your mother-in-law's kimchi.
Okay.
All right. Bye.
What is that?
Hey.
Oh, my.
Sir. Blood!
Is anyone there? Help!
Oh, my! What should I do?
Who-- Who do I call?
Sir!
Oh, no! He must be dead!
What should I do?
EPISODE 9 THE NIGHT OF THUNDER
MONEY ENVELOPE
"Money Envelope"?
Why did you call me late at night?
Hello? Where are you right now?
Hello?
Why aren't you answering me?
First, we need to meet today.
Meet who?
Oh, my.
It's nothing.
A friend of mine wants to donate to the Sunwoo Foundation.
Are you leaving right now?
Ma'am! My husband's leaving!
WRONG PATTERN
GALLERY
You get nosebleeds so often for a young man.
Are you eating well?
I have my meals on time, so don't worry.
Don't worry about money and have some meat. It's my treat.
I'm just too busy to rest. That's why.
-Mr. Kim! -Goodness.
What brings you all the way here?
I've cooked something delicious this morning.
-Aren't you excited? -Not at all.
Gosh. Then don't eat. Mr. Kim, have it all.
Look at these heart shapes.
-It tastes horrible. -Don't eat it.
I will.
I like this one.
You must have a sweet tooth. Jun hates sweet food.
He prefers chocolates to cookies.
And melted ones, at that.
Melted ones? Why? Is there a story behind it?
What is it?
That smile is making me even more curious. Tell me.
Let's see… I think I was around 20 back then.
I used to live in a tiny shoe repair shop.
Goodbye.
SEOUL, 1959
SHOE CLEANING AND REPAIR
KIM MAN-BOK
Do you repair shoes?
I need some heels replaced.
Sure. Sit down.
ITALIAN SHOE STORE
Here you go.
Goodness.
They're expensive ones.
They're my landlord's daughter's.
Please fix them up nicely.
Okay.
-Hello. -Hello.
Hello.
It's way past lunchtime. Have you eaten yet?
Thank you.
Hello.
It's too cold. I told you not to come.
You could've slipped on ice.
I came to give you this.
The madam gave it to me, but I wanted to share it with you.
It's from America.
Thank you.
Oh, no. Oh, dear.
It's tastier this way.
Try some, Sun-ja.
It's good.
And then? What happened?
When did you two get married?
After about five years.
Why? You said you were lonely.
-You should've gotten married sooner. -I had no money.
I got married after barely managing to get a small room.
A small room.
Don't you have lessons?
My goodness.
Mr. Kim, tell me more about this next time.
Is something in your eye?
My eye keeps twitching lately.
Goodness, love must be in the air.
Right. Have you told her yet?
Not yet.
She's too busy preparing for the competition.
I think I'll tell her after Jae-min's competition.
Mr. Kim.
At times, when I think about how I should tell her this,
it's a bit…
No, it's quite difficult.
Jun, you feel hurt and upset
when others don't trust you.
But it's even more unbearable when you have to lie
to someone who trusts you and hide the truth from them.
I think that's much more hurtful.
I'm just saying that I empathize with you.
Thank you.
We're not strangers. We're friends.
DIRECTOR SUNWOO MYEONG
Have a seat.
Why did you want to see me, sir?
Is there anything you need to report to me on?
Mr. Kim.
I hope you can hold your tongue, given how much you're getting paid.
Do you understand me?
Yes, ma'am.
Not at all, sir.
Is that so?
Do you still pick Jun up from school on weekends?
Of course, sir.
About my wife…
Is she seeing anyone these days?
What do you mean?
Is she seeing a man?
Not at all, sir.
Okay. You may go.
Who do you think hired you
and is giving you your salary?
I think you forgot that it's me.
His vitals are stable, but he's still unconscious.
Have you identified him?
Chu Min-su, 44 years old, lives in Seoul.
He doesn't seem to have any family.
And the culprit?
Seeing how his wallet and phone are gone,
we believe he was robbed and assaulted.
But there are no CCTV cameras around the scene,
so it'll be difficult to catch them.
I see.
So you mean you don't know if he'll wake up at all for now?
-He's still unconscious? -Oh, no.
Thank you, doctor.
Please let me know as soon as he wakes up.
-Thank you. -Do they know
-who he is? -And his family?
They got his name and address, but he doesn't have any family.
-Is he a bachelor? -I don't know about that.
How did he look?
-You have a keen eye. -Right.
It was too dark, and his face was bloody, so I couldn't get a good look.
Goodness.
Seeing how the culprit took his wallet, he must've had a lot of cash.
Could he be the son of a conglomerate family?
Don't conglomerates all have families?
Hey, it's possible if he was born out of wedlock.
-Bingo! -Darn it.
-Let's say he wakes up -Okay.
but has lost his memory.
-Then what? -Hey.
Stop watching so many dramas.
You make it sound like you don't watch them.
-I do. -Suk-gyeong.
You saved his life.
Won't he repay you for that?
If it's not money…
Suk-gyeong, will you be getting a boyfriend?
No way. What if he's a bad guy?
Find out whether it's fate or not
-once he wakes up. -It's better if he's a bad guy.
Enough with your imaginations! Be quiet!
By the way, I wonder who did it.
Me too.
A stranger appears in a peaceful town.
A robber attacks him.
I'm dying to find out. Tell me.
Tell me, please.
-Who did it? -It was you.
You're here early.
This is a gift.
What are the flowers for?
I don't know. Someone left them in front of the door.
Do you remember?
Why aren't you accepting it?
It must be too heavy.
Let's put this inside and go have lunch together.
Why would I?
I only accepted you as a student at my piano academy.
You should quit if you're interested in doing other things.
It's okay for some, but not me?
That's not really fair, is it?
Pardon?
Let us know if he calls back.
-Bye. -Call us right away.
-Hello! -Hi!
You're the handsome customer from before.
-Did your hair grow back? -Yes, it did.
-How are your lessons going? -They're going well.
Oh, my. What are those flowers for?
-What? -What is this romantic, shy vibe?
Are they for Ra-ra?
-No, they're not. -Don't lie.
I was throwing them away.
Why? They're so pretty.
Flowers, come home with me.
-He said he was throwing them away. -What?
Ra-ra, we're going to go eat. Come with us.
-Okay. -Sure.
I'll refund the lesson fee.
Text me your account number.
No, I'll come back here to get it myself.
Enjoy your meal.
-Okay. -Bye!
-They're so pretty, though. -Isn't that guy
a bit odd?
You're right. I think he's changed.
It feels strange.
I'm looking to buy a gift for someone.
Wait, Jun.
Why did you buy two of the same face cream?
You left it at the door for me, didn't you?
I figured Ra-ra used hers up.
Who the hell are you?
Jun, what are you doing to our customer?
Stop it.
I'm sorry, sir. Oh, dear. I'm truly sorry.
It's fine.
-I'd like to pay for this. -Yes, sir.
Mimi.
Who do you like more? Me or Jun?
Why can't you answer?
Right, you can't talk. Okay. Then let's do this.
If you like me more, just stay quiet.
If you like Jun more, bark three times. Got it?
Let's try it again.
Who do you like more? Me or Jun?
So I'm your favorite, right?
I love you so much too, Mimi!
You like me more, right?
Did you run here? Why?
For Mimi… Because I missed Mimi.
Mimi, did you eat?
Here, you must be thirsty.
Yes, thanks.
Hey, sit down for a minute.
Why do you look all serious?
You have a student named An Jung-ho, don't you?
Yes.
Something's strange about him, so tell him to quit.
How did you know?
I told him today to quit his lessons.
Did something happen?
Well, it just looked like
he was after something else, not learning the piano.
Good.
And if you receive another gift from an unknown sender,
-report to me right away. -Report to you?
Yes.
You're talking as if you're my bodyguard or something.
I said I'll take you home.
-Go back inside. -No, I'll take you home.
Why? I have Juju.
I'll drive anyway.
I told you, I'll go with you and walk back home.
It's still hot out. Just stay home and rest.
My bodyguard can't drive, so he sits in the passenger seat.
I want to stay with you longer, even if it's just ten more minutes.
I want to spend more time with you.
Then shall we go for a drive?
I'm your driver, you know.
Shall we?
I was feeling down all day, so I can definitely go for a drive.
-Driver Gu, let's go. -Yes, sir!
I'll eat it if you don't.
Hey. You should've asked before you ate it.
I can't believe you already ate it.
By the way, are you still being mean to Ra-ra?
I'm home.
Ha-yeong! Ha-yeong.
-Can we chat for a minute? -I'm going to bed.
Wait…
What are you doing? You burn everything you cook.
I'm making breakfast for Ha-yeong.
But she already went to school.
Already?
NEW MESSAGE
Ha-yeong, want to go for tteokbokki today?
I'm busy.
Well, I'm hating her a little.
Enough is enough. I'm starting to feel so bad for her.
It's Jun that confessed his feelings to her, you know.
Just eat this.
Let me talk, will you?
Anyway, she's so silly too.
Why walk on eggshells around you? She should ignore you.
You idiot!
I like her because she never ignores a nobody like me!
-So you like Ra-ra? -What?
Gosh, whatever.
Let's go if you're done. And you clean this up.
Hey! Are you all right?
You're bleeding. Are you okay?
It hurts.
I think you got punished for being such a meanie.
I got punished? That's stupid.
Stay still.
Are you okay?
Obviously, I'm not okay. Gosh, you're so annoying.
Sorry. Do you think you can walk?
Yes, of course.
Want a piggyback ride?
What? Forget it.
Hey, hey!
Hey, no. Put me down!
-I don't want a piggyback ride. -Just let me carry you.
I don't want to. Put me down.
-Hey! -Don't make me change my mind.
-Hey. -Yes?
When did your back become so broad?
Why do you ask? Do I make you feel safe?
Jeez, give me a break.
I used to be much bigger than you.
When? Back when we were seven?
Hey, I was bigger than you up until elementary school.
You were like a tiny booger.
Hey, if your boogers were this big,
your nose would burst.
Hey, I'm sliding down.
Should I get a trim?
My gosh!
Ra-ra.
-Did you use hair conditioner? -Yes, of course.
How do you want your hair done?
I'll just leave it up to you.
-Are you sure? -Yes!
Then I'll do whatever I want.
I like it. What do you think?
My sense of aesthetics is telling me that this looks so weird.
But it's so nice to have you do my hair and makeup.
-Do I look pretty? -Yes, you look so pretty.
Did someone punch you in the eye?
And it looks like you ate a live rat or something.
Did you feed her something bad?
I got my hair done by someone who will become a famous hairstylist.
Who is that?
What do you think? It's Ha-yeong, obviously.
Ra-ra, tell us. Why did you want us to gather here?
I know you're busy. Sorry to call you here.
I want you all to meet the pride of LaLa Land.
Ta-da! You all know that Jae-min is entering the upcoming piano competition.
I wanted you ladies to be his audience.
Jae-min!
-Yes! -Let's hear it.
How can a kid be this good?
-Oh, my. -My, I'm so proud of him.
He's a prodigy.
-My gosh. -Look how fast his fingers are.
I'm tearing up.
-My gosh. -Goodness.
-Gosh. -Amazing.
-Unbelievable. -He's so talented.
My gosh.
-Oh, gosh! -You're so good!
-My gosh! -It was great!
-I'm tearing up. -He's amazing.
What do you think?
He'll do amazingly well tomorrow.
You can totally start celebrating now.
My gosh, he's so good.
What's he going to wear? He needs a suit. Does he have a suit?
Oh, no. I threw out Seung-gi's old suit. Too bad.
We can rent one.
No, don't. Let me buy one for him.
-What? -I wish I had a son like him.
I'm so proud of him. And he's adorable!
-My gosh! -He's so cute!
I want to buy him a suit. Can I?
Yes. Of course, you can.
You buy him a suit, Mi-ran.
And I'll do his hair.
Then I'll get a banner made for you, Jae-min.
Then I'll get you some flowers. Flowers are a must.
Thank you so much, all of you.
Then what about Jun, Dr. Cha, and Mr. Kim?
What can they do for Jae-min?
Mr. Kim bought an air conditioner for this academy.
And this piano academy wouldn't exist if it weren't for Jun.
Okay. Then if Jae-min wins the competition,
we'll ask Dr. Cha to take us out for a barbecue!
-Yes! -Nice!
Good idea.
Ra-ra, Jae-min is good enough to win the competition, right?
Of course! I guarantee you, 100 percent.
You all know my customer who comes here from Seoul for a blowout.
-Yes. -I remember.
She said Jae-min is unbelievably talented.
She boasted that she sponsors some pianists or something like that.
I'm not sure if it's true. But anyway, she was very impressed by him.
Really? She said that?
Yes! Oh, right. She also saw that photo
and said you looked familiar.
Maybe you met her back in your pianist days.
Me?
You have a very common face.
You call that "common"?
Look at the size of her face. It's about to disappear.
If her face is common, then what about us?
-How rude. -It's our fault again, isn't it?
We are the odd ones.
-What? -Her face is so tiny that it's…
Who could it be?
Gosh, where did I put it?
I remember putting it here somewhere.
Is this the one?
GU RA-RA
Yes, it's her.
GU RA-RA
Right.
Even back then, I thought she had a screw loose.
But I wonder why she opened a piano academy there.
Hello?
Hey, Si-a.
Ra-ra? Yes, I know her very well.
I heard her dad passed away after her wedding got called off.
She came to see me,
but I couldn't help her as I was struggling myself.
Then I guess you don't know she's running a piano academy in Eunpo.
An academy?
Never mind.
By the way, what happened to her wedding?
I heard her mother-in-law ran away with her son at the wedding.
What? For real?
I couldn't go to her wedding because of my mom,
but I met the guy she was supposed to marry.
Was he a doctor at Sunwoo Hospital?
An orthopedic surgeon, I think.
Don't tell me his name is Bang Jeong-nam.
Yes, I think his last name was Bang.
My goodness.
He's my husband's friend.
I didn't know he got married.
You guys didn't go to his wedding?
No. At the time, we barely talked other than when we were
at each other's throats about the divorce.
That means
he's known that woman all along.
How are you doing, Mr. Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star?
My first student is participating in a piano competition tomorrow.
Wish us luck so that we'll get a good result.
What?
"I hope it goes well. Best of luck."
Thank you, Mr. Twinkle!
You're already waiting outside.
Ms. Gu has to take care of something, so she asked me to pick you up.
You know me, right?
Let's go.
Ms. Gu told me that she'd pick me up herself.
Come on. I said I'll take you.
No.
-Come on. Let's go. -Let me go.
Jae-min!
Gosh.
I'm here, Jae-min.
Hello, Ms. Gu.
Jae-min, you look so dashing today.
Did you sleep well?
Yes.
All right. Wear your seat belt.
Let's go!
Jae-min.
What's wrong? Did something happen?
No.
Are you nervous? Is that it?
Yes.
Don't worry.
You have me by your side.
Shall we get going?
-Gosh. -My goodness.
PIANO COMPETITION
What time is it?
-Why aren't they here yet? -My gosh.
He's number 121. He should be on standby soon.
-Yes. -Exactly.
-See if they're outside. -Okay.
There they are.
Hey, we're here!
What took you so long?
The traffic was bad.
You should've left early.
-He's sweating. -Oh, no.
-Gosh, Jae-min. -You're sweating.
Jae-min. You can do a good job, right?
Jae-min, just relax and do what you usually do.
Okay.
You're late. You should hurry.
-Let's hurry. -Let's go, quick.
2020 EUNPO DAILY PIANO COMPETITION
She's pretty good, isn't she?
Yes. She has a lovely sound.
PIANO PRODIGY SHIN JAE-MIN
Is Jae-min next?
Yes. Even I'm so nervous.
Number 121, Shin Jae-min.
-It's Jae-min. -My gosh, Jae-min!
-Go, Jae-min! -Go for it, Jae-min!
You got this!
Is he in pain?
-Did he hurt his arm? -What's wrong?
Muscle cramps, maybe?
No, it doesn't seem so.
-Something's wrong with his arm. -What's the matter with him?
-My gosh, he's playing with one hand. -Why is he doing that?
-What's he doing? -My goodness.
Is he in pain?
Did he hurt his arm?
2020 EUNPO DAILY PIANO COMPETITION
My gosh, Jae-min…
What's going on? Is he too nervous?
Bravo.
Bravo!
This must be how Dad felt that day.
Bravo!
It's okay to screw up a little today!
You played it so well yesterday.
That's right! You've practiced so hard for today!
Jae-min, it's okay!
-It's okay! -It's okay!
It must've hurt a lot.
How did you bear the pain?
The joint was dislocated.
Jae-min, when did you hurt your arm?
Why didn't you tell me you were in pain?
I can't believe you tried to play with this arm.
I just
didn't want to make you sad.
You've been
so good to me.
I was afraid you'd hate me
if I screwed up.
That's why I didn't tell you.
Jae-min, that's such a silly thought.
You couldn't play in the competition, but I still love you, Jae-min.
And I'll always be good to you.
Really?
Of course.
Get well soon.
-My gosh. -It smells delicious.
Do you know why I love beef? Because it cooks fast.
Eat lots so your arm can heal fast. Okay?
Guys, let's clink our glasses to celebrate.
-Yes! -Yes, totally!
Here's to Jae-min and LaLa Land.
-Cheers! -Cheers!
All right, guys. This is on Dr. Cha,
so eat as much as you want.
-Thank you! -Thank you!
-Thank you. -Thank you, Dr. Cha.
Mom.
-Son! Hurry up and join us. -What?
-Goodness. -You called them?
When will they get to pig out on premium Korean beef if not today?
Calm down, will you?
-Hello. -Have a seat.
Nice, let's eat some meat.
-Amazing. -Gosh, I'm annoyed.
I should've called Ye-seo too.
-Jeez. -Please.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
My, look at Seung-gi. He could easily eat ten servings of meat.
-Of course, he can. -Sure thing.
Thank you so much, Dr. Cha.
No problem.
Isn't this too much, though?
No, this is nothing.
Just grill the meat well.
Don't you worry about that.
-Mr. Kim, this one is a medium. -Oh, thanks.
-I want mine well done. -Well done?
-Eat lots. -Thanks.
I'm the one who's paying, but you're trying to take all the credit.
Gosh, what are you talking about?
Eat up.
Eat up, Jae-min.
One, two, three!
-My mom's the prettiest. -Seung-gi, you're the best.
-That's way too subjective. -No, come on.
-Try this wrap. Here. -It's okay.
There you go.
-Delicious, right? -Thank you.
-Do you want one more? -Doesn't it look amazing?
The mushroom steak.
-How is it? -Have some kimchi too.
You eat so well.
-Ladies, let's drink. -Here.
Hey. Stop it, will you? Gosh, you're making me uncomfortable.
Why? You're cute even when you're eating.
Here, eat lots.
-That's what happened. -Really?
-My gosh. -Eat up.
-What's going on over there? -I see.
-Who knows? -My gosh, Dr. Cha.
Don't you have lessons today?
Well, I'm skipping today.
I'm not in the mood to study, you know.
Right. You can study tomorrow if you don't today.
-You, seriously. -What?
This is why I like you.
Hold on, Ra-ra. Your makeup looks awful. Come here.
Oh, just a second.
Hello?
Now? Okay, I'll be right there.
I need to move my car.
-Want me to come with you? -No, wait here.
It's getting late.
Jae-min.
I'll take you home.
-Let's go. -Let's get going too.
You have to make dinner for your hubby.
I already did. Don't you know that he turns into a zombie when he's hungry?
-You should've brought that zombie. -Yes.
People would freak out if they saw him devour raw meat.
-Let's go. -Let's go home.
-I'm off. -Bye.
Dr. Cha, how much was it?
-Gosh! -Don't ask him stuff like that!
Next time, we'll have a seafood feast.
-Nice! -Yes!
I know a great seafood restaurant.
-That's great. -Really?
-Bye, Seung-gi. -Drive safely.
-Okay, bye. -Bye.
-See you! -Bye, Seung-gi!
-Get home safely. -Bye!
-Bye. -Bye, Jae-min!
All right, we're here.
Thank you.
You have to be careful with your arm until it fully heals.
Okay.
Jae-min, there's something I wanted to ask you all day.
How did you hurt your arm?
That's…
It's okay. Even if it happened while you were goofing around,
I won't scold you.
Actually,
a man who comes to the academy came by earlier.
A man?
He said Ms. Gu had asked him to pick me up.
He said he'd take me to the venue and pulled my arm.
But I kept resisting and ended up dislocating the joint.
Who could it be?
JIN HA-YEONG
-Hello? -Dr. Cha, where are you now?
I took Jae-min home, and I'm on the road now.
What's up? Did something happen?
The person you are calling is not available…
Is she not picking up?
No.
Ra-ra left after getting a call?
Yes, someone asked her to move her car.
I'll go look for her.
Please take Mr. Kim home.
No, I'll go look for her too.
Jun and I will look for her and let you know. It's getting late.
Yes, Mr. Kim. We all know how unpredictable Ra-ra is.
I'm sure she followed a cat or something. Meow.
I bet she's meowing at the cat like this now. Right?
Meow.
JUN
Why is this here?
What's that?
Isn't this Ra-ra's phone?
Where's her car? I don't see it.
