EPISODE 5

5
00:00:55,559 --> 00:00:56,977
Kim U-jin speaking.

6
00:01:02,274 --> 00:01:04,401
Who is this? Please, speak.

7
00:01:16,121 --> 00:01:17,706
If you have nothing to say, I'll hang up.

8
00:01:32,846 --> 00:01:35,682
Sim-deok?

9
00:01:44,858 --> 00:01:45,776
It's you, right?

10
00:02:04,356 --> 00:02:05,816
<i>U-jin didn't come home last night?</i>

11
00:02:06,316 --> 00:02:08,026
The study was empty all night,

12
00:02:08,110 --> 00:02:10,112
so I thought he was still at his office.

13
00:02:10,863 --> 00:02:12,990
I checked again a while ago,
and it was still empty.

14
00:02:13,740 --> 00:02:15,200
Couldn't he have come at dawn

15
00:02:15,701 --> 00:02:17,119
and left early in the morning?

16
00:02:17,202 --> 00:02:20,122
There were no traces of him being there.

17
00:02:28,422 --> 00:02:31,967
<i>After finishing work yesterday, I went by
his office to talk to him about something.</i>

18
00:02:32,384 --> 00:02:33,385
<i>But he wasn't there.</i>

19
00:02:33,886 --> 00:02:37,306
<i>So I thought he went home early.</i>

20
00:03:36,478 --> 00:03:38,730
I think it was at Dansungsa.

21
00:03:38,814 --> 00:03:41,400
I was deeply moved

22
00:03:41,483 --> 00:03:43,235
after watching your performance.

23
00:03:43,318 --> 00:03:45,028
Afterwards, I immediately told

24
00:03:45,112 --> 00:03:46,488
our company's president

25
00:03:46,572 --> 00:03:49,950
that we had to sign
a recording contract with you.

26
00:03:50,742 --> 00:03:51,743
Thank you.

27
00:03:51,827 --> 00:03:54,371
For the down payment, as per the contract,

28
00:03:54,997 --> 00:03:56,999
we're thinking about paying 600 won.

29
00:03:58,451 --> 00:03:59,786
That's enough to pay

30
00:04:01,037 --> 00:04:03,498
for Seong-deok's study abroad
to the States.

31
00:04:03,581 --> 00:04:04,457
Sorry?

32
00:04:05,041 --> 00:04:06,417
It's nothing.

33
00:04:07,418 --> 00:04:09,546
-I'll sign the contract.
-Thank you.

34
00:04:09,879 --> 00:04:12,173
The recording will take place

35
00:04:12,257 --> 00:04:13,383
at our company in Osaka.

36
00:04:14,050 --> 00:04:15,051
By the way,

37
00:04:16,094 --> 00:04:19,305
when do you think you can pay me?

38
00:04:19,389 --> 00:04:22,350
As soon as the recording is done,
we will pay you.

39
00:04:23,810 --> 00:04:24,727
Okay.

40
00:04:24,811 --> 00:04:28,273
Could you write your name on the contract?

41
00:04:34,612 --> 00:04:37,115
YUN SIM-DEOK

42
00:05:59,150 --> 00:06:02,946
Don't go anywhere. Stay by my side.

43
00:06:06,366 --> 00:06:08,284
I don't think I can live without you.

44
00:06:20,755 --> 00:06:22,465
I'm going to leave for Tokyo.

45
00:06:24,717 --> 00:06:25,760
Come with me.

46
00:07:12,807 --> 00:07:14,767
Can't you stay for a bit longer?

47
00:07:15,101 --> 00:07:16,352
I must go right now.

48
00:07:22,108 --> 00:07:24,777
We can soon be together
for a long time, so be patient.

49
00:07:26,988 --> 00:07:28,072
Okay.

50
00:07:30,325 --> 00:07:32,452
It would have been nice to leave
for Tokyo together.

51
00:07:33,036 --> 00:07:35,163
I have some matters to take care of here.

52
00:07:36,748 --> 00:07:38,291
If it's your siblings' school expenses--

53
00:07:38,374 --> 00:07:39,459
No.

54
00:07:40,460 --> 00:07:42,003
I don't want your money.

55
00:07:44,005 --> 00:07:45,298
I only want your love.

56
00:07:49,510 --> 00:07:50,762
Wait for me in Tokyo.

57
00:07:50,928 --> 00:07:54,098
Once I arrive there, should I meet you
at that boarding house?

58
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,190
Earn lots of money.
I am absolutely stone broke.

59
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:08,529
Go on.

60
00:08:50,363 --> 00:08:51,322
Follow me.

61
00:09:04,252 --> 00:09:05,378
Was she the reason

62
00:09:06,045 --> 00:09:09,215
why you had been going
to Gyeongseong all along?

63
00:09:09,298 --> 00:09:13,177
For a vulgar woman who sings
in front of unknown men?

64
00:09:14,178 --> 00:09:15,722
She is precious to me.

65
00:09:15,805 --> 00:09:17,223
U-jin, how dare you?

66
00:09:19,976 --> 00:09:22,645
Sure. It's not uncommon

67
00:09:23,396 --> 00:09:26,774
for a man to briefly lay his eyes
on another woman.

68
00:09:27,734 --> 00:09:29,193
Right, that could happen.

69
00:09:29,485 --> 00:09:30,611
It wasn't for a brief moment.

70
00:09:33,406 --> 00:09:34,449
For a long time,

71
00:09:35,408 --> 00:09:37,410
I tried to forget her but to no avail.

72
00:09:37,493 --> 00:09:38,494
So?

73
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:39,954
What will you do?

74
00:09:40,538 --> 00:09:42,039
I will leave with her.

75
00:09:42,749 --> 00:09:44,208
And I'll never return.

76
00:09:44,292 --> 00:09:46,210
What is that woman to you

77
00:09:46,294 --> 00:09:47,795
that you'd forego filial piety?

78
00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:50,047
I'm willing to give up filial piety
or anything else

79
00:09:51,299 --> 00:09:52,675
if I can just be with her.

80
00:09:56,637 --> 00:09:58,055
That fox

81
00:09:58,139 --> 00:10:00,808
has completely and utterly bewitched you.

82
00:10:06,189 --> 00:10:07,899
Listen to me carefully.

83
00:10:08,608 --> 00:10:11,736
Without my money, you will lose

84
00:10:11,819 --> 00:10:14,614
both that woman and your love for writing.

85
00:10:15,406 --> 00:10:17,325
You have lived in abundance all your life.

86
00:10:17,408 --> 00:10:19,202
How long will you be able
to withstand poverty?

87
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,663
How long will that woman stay
beside you when you have no money?

88
00:10:29,545 --> 00:10:31,422
If she abandons me for that reason,

89
00:10:32,715 --> 00:10:34,467
that, too, is my fate.

90
00:10:34,550 --> 00:10:36,469
You damned imbecile!

91
00:10:43,768 --> 00:10:44,894
Leave.

92
00:10:45,754 --> 00:10:47,897
I don't even want to look at you,
so get out!

93
00:11:28,854 --> 00:11:30,690
All that I can say to you

94
00:11:31,357 --> 00:11:32,984
is that I am terribly sorry.

95
00:11:34,402 --> 00:11:35,528
Please.

96
00:11:36,112 --> 00:11:37,780
Do not forgive me.

97
00:11:40,992 --> 00:11:42,994
Jeom-hyo, are you there?

98
00:11:43,077 --> 00:11:44,245
Yes, Father.

99
00:11:44,328 --> 00:11:46,414
Burn these outrageous letters as well.

100
00:11:46,539 --> 00:11:47,832
This instant!

101
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,108
It's not a surprise.

102
00:12:15,651 --> 00:12:19,155
I don't know what to say to you.

103
00:12:20,156 --> 00:12:21,782
Don't be sorry.

104
00:12:22,992 --> 00:12:24,201
I understand.

105
00:12:24,285 --> 00:12:26,329
The heart is stubborn.

106
00:12:27,121 --> 00:12:29,040
You can't change it
just with determination.

107
00:12:30,750 --> 00:12:33,169
I'm just worried about you.

108
00:12:33,252 --> 00:12:34,670
Our engagement announcement

109
00:12:34,754 --> 00:12:36,756
has been already printed
on the newspapers.

110
00:12:38,257 --> 00:12:39,508
It may not affect me too much.

111
00:12:40,009 --> 00:12:42,678
But you're well-renowned compared to me.

112
00:12:44,472 --> 00:12:45,514
And you're also a woman.

113
00:12:46,515 --> 00:12:49,018
It's my burden to take,
so it cannot be helped.

114
00:12:51,145 --> 00:12:54,565
Thank you for your concern.

115
00:12:55,608 --> 00:12:58,569
If you're truly thankful,
can you do me a favor?

116
00:13:00,780 --> 00:13:02,740
If you ever think of me from time to time,

117
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,160
please wish that I'll meet
someone better than you

118
00:13:06,243 --> 00:13:07,578
and live happily ever after.

119
00:13:08,579 --> 00:13:09,622
Please do that for me.

120
00:13:11,916 --> 00:13:14,460
Okay. I will do that.

121
00:13:20,383 --> 00:13:21,384
You're finally smiling.

122
00:13:26,138 --> 00:13:28,849
Where could you possibly find
another man like him ever again?

123
00:13:29,058 --> 00:13:30,768
I don't love him.

124
00:13:32,269 --> 00:13:33,604
I couldn't.

125
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,609
I've signed a contract
with a Japanese recording company.

126
00:13:39,068 --> 00:13:41,028
I will receive my payment
once the recording ends.

127
00:13:41,112 --> 00:13:43,406
With that money,
Seong-deok can study abroad.

128
00:13:43,489 --> 00:13:46,701
And Gi-seong? What about him?

129
00:13:47,201 --> 00:13:48,661
Well...

130
00:13:51,122 --> 00:13:54,583
Gi-seong, I'll get the money for you
no matter what,

131
00:13:54,667 --> 00:13:56,419
so continue preparing
for the study abroad.

132
00:13:58,713 --> 00:13:59,964
Okay.

133
00:14:22,737 --> 00:14:25,573
Our country may be ruined,
but youth is still youth.

134
00:14:27,074 --> 00:14:28,034
You're right.

135
00:14:30,578 --> 00:14:32,079
So you signed with Yun Sim-deok?

136
00:14:32,163 --> 00:14:35,249
Yes. The president was delighted.

137
00:14:35,875 --> 00:14:38,878
But not long ago, she visited me.

138
00:14:38,961 --> 00:14:41,380
She asked if I could raise
the down payment.

139
00:14:42,757 --> 00:14:45,301
Is she financially struggling?

140
00:14:45,885 --> 00:14:47,094
From what I hear,

141
00:14:47,178 --> 00:14:49,221
her family barely gets by.

142
00:14:49,305 --> 00:14:51,766
Also, she has two younger siblings
who study music

143
00:14:51,932 --> 00:14:53,976
and she must pay
for their studying expenses

144
00:14:54,602 --> 00:14:55,895
with no extra income.

145
00:14:56,729 --> 00:14:57,730
That's how it seems.

146
00:14:58,939 --> 00:15:01,025
How much more does she want?

147
00:15:01,609 --> 00:15:05,821
About 600 won for
her younger brother's studies overseas.

148
00:15:06,864 --> 00:15:08,991
Why do you ask though?

149
00:15:09,075 --> 00:15:10,659
Set up a meeting with Ms. Yun.

150
00:15:11,077 --> 00:15:13,370
Tell her that I'm offering the money.

151
00:15:13,454 --> 00:15:14,413
Really?

152
00:15:14,997 --> 00:15:18,626
I've often supported poor
but talented artists.

153
00:15:18,709 --> 00:15:21,462
Hearing how her brother
is also studying music

154
00:15:21,545 --> 00:15:23,130
makes me want to be of help.

155
00:15:23,214 --> 00:15:25,091
Someone as talented as Ms. Yun

156
00:15:25,174 --> 00:15:27,551
should not spend time
worrying about money.

157
00:15:28,677 --> 00:15:31,263
She will be very happy to hear the news.

158
00:15:45,152 --> 00:15:46,695
I'm truly grateful.

159
00:15:46,779 --> 00:15:50,366
My younger brother wanted
to express his gratitude as well.

160
00:15:51,742 --> 00:15:52,827
That's not necessary,

161
00:15:53,786 --> 00:15:56,455
but please tell him this.

162
00:15:57,498 --> 00:15:59,125
I wish for him to become a great artist

163
00:15:59,208 --> 00:16:02,545
who shines the light of Joseon
all around the world.

164
00:16:04,338 --> 00:16:05,714
I will tell him that.

165
00:16:05,798 --> 00:16:09,385
The same goes for you as well.

166
00:16:12,096 --> 00:16:14,014
How may I ever repay you?

167
00:16:16,308 --> 00:16:19,645
Come by from time to time
and let me hear you sing.

168
00:16:20,271 --> 00:16:21,730
That's more than enough.

169
00:16:23,399 --> 00:16:24,400
Sure.

170
00:16:25,901 --> 00:16:26,944
Please help yourself.

171
00:16:27,403 --> 00:16:29,113
You have to head to
the broadcasting station.

172
00:16:29,196 --> 00:16:30,990
All right, then.

SANGSEONG UNLIMITED PARTNERSHIP

175
00:17:02,855 --> 00:17:04,565
<i>By ourselves, sir?</i>

176
00:17:05,399 --> 00:17:07,359
I've taken care of most of the work,

177
00:17:07,443 --> 00:17:09,111
and it won't be for too long.

178
00:17:09,195 --> 00:17:11,989
Even though you have signed
most of the documents,

179
00:17:12,072 --> 00:17:14,992
it will be impossible for us
to run the company without you.

180
00:17:15,075 --> 00:17:16,452
It'll only be for a while.

181
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,622
My father will give out orders soon.

182
00:17:21,081 --> 00:17:24,168
Please look after the company until then.

183
00:17:26,086 --> 00:17:27,087
Yes, sir.

184
00:18:49,432 --> 00:18:51,726
Yun Sim-deok? Did she really?

185
00:18:51,809 --> 00:18:52,852
That's what I heard.

186
00:18:52,935 --> 00:18:54,478
In the middle of the night,

187
00:18:54,562 --> 00:18:56,647
she exited
Lee Yong-mun's front gate discreetly

188
00:18:56,731 --> 00:18:58,274
and glanced around.

189
00:18:58,357 --> 00:18:59,859
There are more than enough witnesses

190
00:18:59,942 --> 00:19:01,903
who saw her secretly leave the house.

191
00:19:01,986 --> 00:19:03,487
My sister said that

192
00:19:04,071 --> 00:19:06,240
Yun Sim-deok was seeing
a man from a wealthy family

193
00:19:06,324 --> 00:19:07,658
as well as Lee Yong-mun.

194
00:19:07,742 --> 00:19:09,243
The man caught her in the act,

195
00:19:09,327 --> 00:19:11,954
called her a whore, and even slapped her.

196
00:19:12,038 --> 00:19:13,456
He told her to go to Lee Yong-mun.

197
00:19:13,539 --> 00:19:16,167
I heard that Lee Yong-mun
gave her 600 won.

198
00:19:16,250 --> 00:19:18,628
That money must be payment
for Yun Sim-deok

199
00:19:18,711 --> 00:19:20,129
selling her body to him.

200
00:19:20,213 --> 00:19:22,298
-You're right.
-Say that again.

201
00:19:24,550 --> 00:19:26,510
Say it again, you bastards!

202
00:19:29,597 --> 00:19:30,932
Grab him.

203
00:19:36,687 --> 00:19:38,856
Gi-seong, don't. Gi-seong!

204
00:19:38,940 --> 00:19:40,024
-Let go of me!
-Gi-seong.

205
00:19:41,442 --> 00:19:43,402
Gi-seong, what happened to your face?

206
00:19:43,486 --> 00:19:44,862
The 600 won for my studies.

207
00:19:44,946 --> 00:19:46,864
Why did Mr. Lee
give you such a large payment?

208
00:19:48,241 --> 00:19:49,659
I told you.

209
00:19:49,825 --> 00:19:52,119
He wishes for you to be a great artist--

210
00:19:52,203 --> 00:19:53,996
I want the truth and not some lie!

211
00:19:55,122 --> 00:19:56,999
-Gi-seong...
-At his house,

212
00:19:57,083 --> 00:19:59,168
were you alone with him?

213
00:19:59,752 --> 00:20:02,255
Yes. It was just us two.

214
00:20:02,338 --> 00:20:04,882
Just you two? What did you do then?

215
00:20:06,008 --> 00:20:07,343
I have no idea

216
00:20:07,802 --> 00:20:09,637
what you're trying to say.

217
00:20:12,223 --> 00:20:15,268
Sim-deok,
we've been trying not to tell you,

218
00:20:16,310 --> 00:20:18,896
but rumors spread all across Gyeongseong.

219
00:20:19,772 --> 00:20:20,731
What rumors?

220
00:20:22,817 --> 00:20:26,487
That you and Mr. Lee
are in a relationship.

221
00:20:27,029 --> 00:20:31,492
And that your fiancé called off
the wedding once he found out.

222
00:20:32,243 --> 00:20:36,956
They're also saying that
Mr. Lee paid for Gi-seong's tuition

223
00:20:37,498 --> 00:20:39,125
in return for your secret relationship.

224
00:20:40,584 --> 00:20:43,879
-What?
-Sim-deok, tell me it's not true.

225
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,257
Seong-deok, I...

226
00:20:55,891 --> 00:20:58,686
It's not true, is it?

227
00:20:59,729 --> 00:21:00,855
Seong-deok.

228
00:21:03,441 --> 00:21:04,525
Gi-seong.

229
00:21:06,527 --> 00:21:07,987
How could you...

230
00:21:09,488 --> 00:21:11,615
How could you even think that?

231
00:21:11,699 --> 00:21:14,618
Sim-deok, please.
I wanted to confirm that it was a lie.

232
00:22:06,837 --> 00:22:09,590
<i>I'm afraid we can't have you perform
for the time being.</i>

233
00:22:09,924 --> 00:22:11,550
<i>The rumors are too ghastly.</i>

234
00:22:18,099 --> 00:22:19,892
Does she love money that much?

235
00:22:21,519 --> 00:22:22,686
Isn't she Yun Sim-deok?

236
00:22:23,521 --> 00:22:25,940
-Was money that important?
-Tell me about it.

237
00:22:26,899 --> 00:22:28,692
-Unbelievable.
-Absolutely horrid.

238
00:22:29,527 --> 00:22:31,195
She's an embarrassment.

239
00:22:31,362 --> 00:22:33,197
Can you believe it?

240
00:23:17,116 --> 00:23:19,451
Is this the house of Ms. Yun Sim-deok?

241
00:23:25,332 --> 00:23:27,293
Yes, I'm Yun Sim-deok.

242
00:23:30,171 --> 00:23:31,922
The Education and Management
Bureau Director

243
00:23:32,006 --> 00:23:34,091
of the Japanese Government General
of Korea

244
00:23:34,175 --> 00:23:35,593
has ordered your presence.

245
00:23:36,927 --> 00:23:39,013
What business does he have with me?

246
00:23:39,096 --> 00:23:40,806
Does he need a reason?

247
00:23:43,392 --> 00:23:45,728
I can't comply without knowing why.

248
00:23:45,811 --> 00:23:47,897
You insolent bitch.

249
00:23:49,565 --> 00:23:50,941
-Take her.
-Yes, sir.

250
00:23:52,109 --> 00:23:54,820
-Sim-deok. What's going on?
-Sim-deok.

251
00:23:54,904 --> 00:23:56,155
Sim-deok!

252
00:23:56,989 --> 00:23:58,490
-Sim-deok!
-Sim-deok!

253
00:23:59,533 --> 00:24:02,411
THE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT GENERAL OF KOREA

254
00:24:14,632 --> 00:24:15,674
Come in.

255
00:24:32,816 --> 00:24:36,737
Are you Yun Sim-deok?

256
00:24:37,780 --> 00:24:38,822
That's right.

257
00:24:44,453 --> 00:24:47,373
I heard you studied in Japan.

258
00:24:47,456 --> 00:24:50,626
Have you forgotten
how to speak its language?

259
00:24:53,128 --> 00:24:57,007
I heard that you are also from Joseon.

260
00:25:07,059 --> 00:25:08,686
The rumors are right about you being bold.

261
00:25:11,647 --> 00:25:12,690
I find that...

262
00:25:14,149 --> 00:25:15,276
more charming.

263
00:25:20,906 --> 00:25:22,783
You're a whore
who sells herself for money,

264
00:25:23,409 --> 00:25:24,910
so don't act like you're so honorable.

265
00:25:28,539 --> 00:25:29,832
I hear that things are tough.

266
00:25:30,958 --> 00:25:33,919
You're a singer
who can't perform anywhere.

267
00:25:36,714 --> 00:25:37,965
That's why I called you.

268
00:25:38,757 --> 00:25:41,010
I'm giving you a chance to sing

269
00:25:44,054 --> 00:25:45,264
on a magnificent stage.

270
00:25:55,024 --> 00:25:56,567
-This...
-That's right.

271
00:25:57,067 --> 00:26:00,029
I'm offering you a position at
the Japanese Government General of Korea

272
00:26:00,112 --> 00:26:01,405
as a guest performer.

273
00:26:02,698 --> 00:26:05,659
Your contract will begin with you

274
00:26:05,743 --> 00:26:08,620
singing at the banquet
hosted by the office.

275
00:26:09,288 --> 00:26:11,332
Then you will attend other shows

276
00:26:11,415 --> 00:26:13,709
the office holds
to celebrate Japan's prosperity.

277
00:26:14,209 --> 00:26:17,171
With your singing,
enlighten the foolish Joseon people.

278
00:26:17,254 --> 00:26:20,299
Show them the spirit of the empire.

279
00:26:25,721 --> 00:26:27,848
I have a contract with
a Japanese record company.

280
00:26:28,432 --> 00:26:29,808
I must go to Osaka to record,

281
00:26:30,392 --> 00:26:32,353
so I cannot accept this proposal.

282
00:26:33,437 --> 00:26:34,480
Excuse me, then.

283
00:26:35,147 --> 00:26:36,273
House number 1-73,

284
00:26:37,358 --> 00:26:39,735
Seodaemun District, Gyeongseong.

285
00:26:41,862 --> 00:26:45,741
I wonder how your parents are doing.

286
00:26:46,450 --> 00:26:50,204
Younger sister Yun Seong-deok
and younger brother Yun Gi-seong.

287
00:26:50,621 --> 00:26:52,456
Both are planning
to study abroad in America.

288
00:26:52,539 --> 00:26:55,918
That means they are still here
in Joseon at the moment.

289
00:27:04,093 --> 00:27:06,261
I guess I finally got through to you.

290
00:27:09,014 --> 00:27:11,892
We should meet up for a drink
when you get back.

291
00:27:16,105 --> 00:27:18,148
Somewhere private, of course.

292
00:27:25,155 --> 00:27:28,742
I wish you the best
on your recording in Japan,

293
00:27:29,326 --> 00:27:30,327
Yun Sim-deok.

294
00:28:10,589 --> 00:28:13,183
STAY TUNED FOR THE FINAL EPISODE

295
00:28:13,894 --> 00:28:16,322
FINAL EPISODE

296
00:28:23,169 --> 00:28:24,170
Sim-deok,

297
00:28:26,005 --> 00:28:28,507
it must be tough
not to be able to perform.

298
00:28:31,664 --> 00:28:36,002
The guest performer at
the Japanese Government General of Korea.

299
00:28:36,627 --> 00:28:38,045
Why not accept the offer?

300
00:28:39,130 --> 00:28:42,842
You'll even be paid for your services.

301
00:28:45,590 --> 00:28:50,011
If you agree to take the job,
how much will they pay you?

302
00:28:50,589 --> 00:28:53,633
The Japanese Government General of Korea
will probably pay more than others.

303
00:28:53,717 --> 00:28:55,051
Mother, this is wrong.

304
00:28:56,177 --> 00:28:58,263
A Korean should not sing for that office.

305
00:28:58,346 --> 00:28:59,598
Why?

306
00:28:59,723 --> 00:29:02,434
She can't earn money elsewhere
because of the rumors,

307
00:29:02,517 --> 00:29:03,810
so why not accept this job?

308
00:29:03,894 --> 00:29:05,061
Mother!

309
00:29:05,437 --> 00:29:06,938
Don't you dare raise your voice.

310
00:29:07,022 --> 00:29:09,232
Who pays for your tuition?

311
00:29:09,316 --> 00:29:12,444
Who pays for the food
that you're eating right now?

312
00:29:16,948 --> 00:29:18,241
Sim-deok.

313
00:29:18,658 --> 00:29:20,827
No matter how important singing is to you,

314
00:29:20,911 --> 00:29:22,662
don't ever stoop so low.

315
00:29:22,746 --> 00:29:25,123
I agree with Gi-seong.

316
00:29:25,665 --> 00:29:26,833
Don't accept the job.

317
00:29:28,001 --> 00:29:29,878
Fine, don't take it.

318
00:29:29,961 --> 00:29:32,088
Starting tomorrow,
we'll all starve instead!

319
00:29:33,632 --> 00:29:36,134
I should pack
since I'm leaving early tomorrow.

320
00:29:36,635 --> 00:29:38,553
You'll accept the job
before you go, right?

321
00:29:38,637 --> 00:29:40,347
-Mother!
-Gi-seong, that's enough.

322
00:29:40,847 --> 00:29:43,224
I can't just stand by
while she accepts the job.

323
00:29:43,350 --> 00:29:45,644
Then bring home money for the family then!

324
00:29:46,227 --> 00:29:48,021
Still, she can't do such a thing.

325
00:29:48,104 --> 00:29:50,565
There's no other choice!
We'll all starve if she doesn't.

326
00:29:50,649 --> 00:29:51,650
Mother!

327
00:29:55,153 --> 00:29:57,113
Go and get some <i>makgeolli</i>.

328
00:29:57,238 --> 00:29:59,324
There's no need to throw things!

329
00:30:11,044 --> 00:30:12,253
Sim-deok.

330
00:30:19,344 --> 00:30:21,346
Next Sunday at noon,

331
00:30:21,429 --> 00:30:24,349
do I meet you at Nitto Records in Osaka?

332
00:30:24,933 --> 00:30:27,769
Don't be late since I can't record
without piano accompaniment.

333
00:30:27,852 --> 00:30:31,272
Why don't you leave for Osaka
with me next week?

334
00:30:31,356 --> 00:30:32,607
Why are you leaving so early?

335
00:30:33,942 --> 00:30:35,652
There's someone I need to meet.

336
00:30:35,735 --> 00:30:37,112
I see.

337
00:30:38,863 --> 00:30:41,658
A letter came for you a while back,

338
00:30:41,950 --> 00:30:43,159
so I left it in your room.

339
00:30:45,954 --> 00:30:50,709
FROM KIM U-JIN

340
00:31:19,654 --> 00:31:23,992
<i>I only heard of the rumors about you
after I arrived in Tokyo.</i>

341
00:31:25,660 --> 00:31:27,620
<i>Those disgusting rumors about you</i>

342
00:31:28,621 --> 00:31:29,873
<i>seem like nonsense to me.</i>

343
00:31:31,332 --> 00:31:34,836
<i>The only words I believe in are yours.</i>

344
00:31:37,380 --> 00:31:38,339
<i>Every time</i>

345
00:31:39,716 --> 00:31:42,927
<i>I think about how lonely
and tormented you'd be,</i>

346
00:31:43,762 --> 00:31:44,888
<i>I'm swept with regret.</i>

347
00:31:47,682 --> 00:31:49,684
<i>I should have brought you with me.</i>

348
00:31:50,852 --> 00:31:52,562
<i>I shouldn't have left you alone there.</i>

349
00:31:56,191 --> 00:31:58,735
<i>Hurry to me, Sim-deok.</i>

350
00:32:00,904 --> 00:32:02,739
<i>Be that vivacious woman you were</i>

351
00:32:02,822 --> 00:32:04,783
<i>when we first met.</i>

352
00:32:05,867 --> 00:32:07,827
<i>Be that lady who always smiled...</i>

353
00:32:09,537 --> 00:32:10,663
<i>and hurry to me.</i>

354
00:32:45,740 --> 00:32:49,869
IF I DIE, UNTIL THAT DAY...

355
00:32:51,715 --> 00:32:53,633
Mr. Kim?

356
00:32:54,384 --> 00:32:56,761
A lady is here to see you.

357
00:33:20,216 --> 00:33:23,011
Is this the life you came here to pursue?

358
00:33:24,512 --> 00:33:26,056
Come back to Joseon.

359
00:33:26,931 --> 00:33:29,642
I do not intend to.

360
00:33:31,610 --> 00:33:33,862
Your father has stopped eating

361
00:33:35,059 --> 00:33:37,145
and is waiting for your letter
that does not come.

362
00:33:39,230 --> 00:33:40,440
He's determined

363
00:33:41,357 --> 00:33:43,776
to pick up his spoon again

364
00:33:43,860 --> 00:33:45,862
only when you return to run the company.

365
00:33:47,488 --> 00:33:50,116
Even if you do not write,
there are others who can,

366
00:33:50,199 --> 00:33:52,493
but no one else can run the company.

367
00:33:53,745 --> 00:33:55,663
That is none of my business anymore.

368
00:33:57,331 --> 00:34:00,084
Will you return to Joseon
only after Father passes away?

369
00:34:02,503 --> 00:34:04,422
Does this seem like nonsense to you?

370
00:34:06,132 --> 00:34:08,760
You know your father as well as I do,

371
00:34:09,177 --> 00:34:11,763
so this is nothing you can brush off.

372
00:34:13,723 --> 00:34:15,767
I'll take it that you will come back

373
00:34:16,100 --> 00:34:17,518
and go back home.

374
00:34:23,024 --> 00:34:24,025
Don't get your hopes up.

375
00:34:26,194 --> 00:34:27,278
It will only be in vain.

376
00:34:36,537 --> 00:34:39,165
I married you without even meeting you.

377
00:34:39,749 --> 00:34:41,626
Throughout my life in this family,

378
00:34:43,461 --> 00:34:46,380
I have never desired your heart.

379
00:34:48,508 --> 00:34:50,927
Even though your heart was somewhere else,

380
00:34:51,469 --> 00:34:53,304
I believed that it was my duty

381
00:34:54,138 --> 00:34:55,932
to love and support you no matter what.

382
00:35:02,612 --> 00:35:06,741
For the first and last time,
I urge you to reconsider.

383
00:35:09,661 --> 00:35:10,787
U-jin,

384
00:35:13,123 --> 00:35:15,917
I will not ask you to be a husband for me.

385
00:35:16,167 --> 00:35:17,168
However, please...

386
00:35:19,004 --> 00:35:21,381
do not forget your duties as a son.

387
00:35:58,796 --> 00:36:01,257
What? <i>Wolf</i>?

388
00:36:02,258 --> 00:36:03,801
Not <i>The Dormitory at Night</i>?

389
00:36:04,135 --> 00:36:06,178
Did you really work on
<i>The Dormitory at Night</i>?

390
00:36:06,679 --> 00:36:09,140
-I'm really sorry.
-Are you serious?

391
00:36:10,933 --> 00:36:12,435
U-jin.

392
00:36:12,518 --> 00:36:13,436
U-jin!

393
00:36:15,896 --> 00:36:17,940
You've been confined at home
with your writing,

394
00:36:18,816 --> 00:36:19,984
so what brings you here?

395
00:36:21,989 --> 00:36:24,241
I just wanted to see the theater.

396
00:36:24,325 --> 00:36:26,660
How is the script writing coming along?

397
00:36:27,244 --> 00:36:29,830
-Somewhat okay.
-Well, I'm curious.

398
00:36:29,914 --> 00:36:31,415
How good would yours be?

399
00:36:31,499 --> 00:36:32,750
He wrote four scripts already.

400
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:34,377
He's writing his fifth,

401
00:36:34,710 --> 00:36:37,838
but he never let me read any of them.

402
00:36:37,922 --> 00:36:39,673
Seriously? That's harsh.

403
00:36:39,757 --> 00:36:41,467
When will you show it to us then?

404
00:36:41,550 --> 00:36:42,927
Soon.

405
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,016
-It's me, right?
-Yes.

406
00:36:49,100 --> 00:36:50,309
Rehearsals are about to start.

407
00:36:51,143 --> 00:36:52,269
Why not stay and watch?

408
00:36:53,062 --> 00:36:55,898
I shouldn't be here.
I should just get going.

409
00:36:55,981 --> 00:36:58,776
Come on. Stay and watch the rehearsal.
You've been curious about it.

410
00:37:00,277 --> 00:37:01,904
Gosh, you're so stubborn.

411
00:37:01,987 --> 00:37:05,032
Then I'll stop by your place later.
Let's have dinner together.

412
00:37:05,116 --> 00:37:06,325
Okay.

413
00:37:06,409 --> 00:37:07,868
Excuse me for a second.

414
00:37:07,952 --> 00:37:08,828
See you next time.

415
00:37:10,663 --> 00:37:12,373
All right, everyone is here, right?

416
00:37:13,416 --> 00:37:15,126
Hey, where's Hiroshi?

417
00:37:15,209 --> 00:37:18,421
He had something to do, so he'll be late.

418
00:37:18,546 --> 00:37:19,463
Right.

419
00:37:19,547 --> 00:37:22,967
Then let's practice together
until he comes.

420
00:37:23,050 --> 00:37:23,926
Okay.

421
00:37:24,009 --> 00:37:26,470
All right. As you all know,

422
00:37:26,554 --> 00:37:28,139
today is the first rehearsal of <i>Wolf</i>.

423
00:37:29,723 --> 00:37:31,016
You're the wolf, right?

424
00:37:31,684 --> 00:37:32,685
Yes.

425
00:37:32,768 --> 00:37:35,855
For our theater, this stage is...

426
00:37:40,693 --> 00:37:42,778
<i>What's your dream?</i>

427
00:37:42,987 --> 00:37:46,073
<i>I'm not sure. I've never thought
about such a thing.</i>

428
00:37:46,157 --> 00:37:48,159
Dreams don't always have to be grand.

429
00:37:48,242 --> 00:37:50,327
<i>What gives you joy?</i>

430
00:37:50,411 --> 00:37:52,413
<i>Try to think about
what makes you happiest.</i>

431
00:37:52,496 --> 00:37:54,165
<i>You are the eldest son of this family</i>

432
00:37:54,248 --> 00:37:55,833
<i>and the successor to our business.</i>

433
00:37:56,417 --> 00:37:59,378
<i>Quit fooling around writing literature
and being a patriot.</i>

434
00:37:59,462 --> 00:38:02,214
<i>Just think about
taking over the family business one day.</i>

435
00:38:02,298 --> 00:38:04,008
Are you going to write all night again?

436
00:38:04,091 --> 00:38:05,009
<i>Why must you care</i>

437
00:38:05,092 --> 00:38:07,261
<i>about the theatrical reform movement
in Joseon?</i>

438
00:38:07,344 --> 00:38:08,679
<i>Will you return to Joseon</i>

439
00:38:08,762 --> 00:38:10,014
<i>only after Father passes away?</i>

440
00:38:10,473 --> 00:38:13,434
U-jin, pick up your pen again.

441
00:38:13,517 --> 00:38:15,144
I'm fond of your writing, you see.

442
00:38:15,769 --> 00:38:16,854
<i>However, please...</i>

443
00:38:17,605 --> 00:38:19,899
<i>do not forget your duties as a son.</i>

444
00:39:18,207 --> 00:39:19,208
Sim-deok.

445
00:39:21,126 --> 00:39:22,753
I ought to return to Joseon.

446
00:39:23,963 --> 00:39:26,090
I cannot forsake my father.

447
00:39:29,885 --> 00:39:32,137
However, I can't go back to Joseon.

448
00:39:34,265 --> 00:39:35,766
In Joseon, I can neither write

449
00:39:37,726 --> 00:39:39,144
nor see you.

450
00:39:41,855 --> 00:39:44,525
Then we're in the same boat.
We're both faced with a dilemma.

451
00:39:47,987 --> 00:39:50,864
The Japanese Government General of Korea
wants to hire me as their singer.

452
00:39:55,494 --> 00:39:58,789
If I return upon recording my album here
and become their singer,

453
00:40:00,416 --> 00:40:02,751
my soul will die.

454
00:40:04,628 --> 00:40:06,839
But if I choose not to return,

455
00:40:07,881 --> 00:40:09,717
my family will die.

456
00:40:16,015 --> 00:40:17,975
Do you remember the day we first met?

457
00:40:23,063 --> 00:40:25,816
I was reading a book by Takeo Arishima,

458
00:40:25,899 --> 00:40:27,443
and you struck a conversation with me.

459
00:40:29,111 --> 00:40:31,113
Could it be because of how we first met?

460
00:40:32,615 --> 00:40:34,742
Whenever you crossed my mind,

461
00:40:34,950 --> 00:40:37,620
I was reminded of Takeo Arishima as well.

462
00:40:39,955 --> 00:40:41,165
His books...

463
00:40:42,833 --> 00:40:44,126
and his death.

464
00:40:47,588 --> 00:40:49,131
Now, I think I can understand

465
00:40:50,633 --> 00:40:53,636
why he made a choice like that.

466
00:40:57,348 --> 00:40:58,557
You see,

467
00:40:59,558 --> 00:41:01,644
he must have wanted to rest at a place

468
00:41:03,437 --> 00:41:05,522
where he no longer has to try so hard

469
00:41:05,606 --> 00:41:07,191
and where there is no more parting.

470
00:41:08,275 --> 00:41:09,693
He must have wanted to be at peace.

471
00:41:13,238 --> 00:41:14,406
I...

472
00:41:16,408 --> 00:41:18,285
want to get some rest now.

473
00:41:20,788 --> 00:41:22,081
I'm really...

474
00:41:25,209 --> 00:41:27,044
I'm really exhausted now.

475
00:41:31,757 --> 00:41:33,801
But I can't do that...

476
00:41:35,803 --> 00:41:38,347
for I fear I might end up
missing you too much.

477
00:41:41,809 --> 00:41:43,268
If that's the reason, you can rest.

478
00:41:51,694 --> 00:41:55,531
I used to think
that he ran away from life,

479
00:41:57,241 --> 00:41:58,909
but I no longer think so.

480
00:42:00,244 --> 00:42:02,121
He made that choice to live.

481
00:42:03,330 --> 00:42:05,666
In order not to lose himself,

482
00:42:07,251 --> 00:42:09,461
he chose death. That's all.

483
00:42:15,759 --> 00:42:19,179
For the first and last time in my life,

484
00:42:19,638 --> 00:42:21,890
I want to live my life as who I am.

485
00:42:25,394 --> 00:42:26,729
Even if that life

486
00:42:27,354 --> 00:42:29,106
means death.

487
00:42:39,825 --> 00:42:41,785
So, you can rest in peace too.

488
00:42:44,496 --> 00:42:45,497
By my side.

489
00:43:15,194 --> 00:43:18,864
U-jin. Sorry, the rehearsal ran very late.

490
00:43:22,743 --> 00:43:24,119
Where did he go?

491
00:43:35,756 --> 00:43:39,426
"Come to Osaka in five days.
The address is as follows."

492
00:43:41,011 --> 00:43:43,013
Why did he go to Osaka out of the blue?

493
00:45:33,444 --> 00:45:38,073
JULY 31, 1926

494
00:45:50,711 --> 00:45:51,920
Are you done now?

495
00:45:53,213 --> 00:45:54,673
I was so bored.

496
00:45:58,510 --> 00:46:03,182
I actually came up with a poem in my head
while waiting for you to finish.

497
00:46:04,183 --> 00:46:05,225
Do you want to hear it?

498
00:46:06,268 --> 00:46:07,311
Sure.

499
00:46:12,149 --> 00:46:17,029
Life running in the vast wilderness.

500
00:46:20,449 --> 00:46:25,287
Where is it that you are heading?

501
00:46:28,540 --> 00:46:30,584
In this lonely world

502
00:46:32,252 --> 00:46:34,129
filled with cruel suffering,

503
00:46:36,423 --> 00:46:37,674
what...

504
00:46:38,884 --> 00:46:40,052
are you

505
00:46:41,762 --> 00:46:43,514
looking for?

506
00:46:48,394 --> 00:46:49,561
That's it.

507
00:46:50,896 --> 00:46:55,275
That's all I could come up with.

508
00:47:02,616 --> 00:47:04,451
In this world made of tears,

509
00:47:05,786 --> 00:47:07,579
will my death truly be the end of it all?

510
00:47:09,123 --> 00:47:10,833
Those of you in search of happiness.

511
00:47:11,625 --> 00:47:13,127
Only futility awaits you.

512
00:47:19,049 --> 00:47:20,592
Those smiling flowers

513
00:47:22,636 --> 00:47:24,346
and crying birds

514
00:47:26,515 --> 00:47:28,058
all share

515
00:47:29,893 --> 00:47:31,145
the same fate.

516
00:47:34,523 --> 00:47:37,234
Pitiful life, absorbed in living,

517
00:47:39,361 --> 00:47:40,779
you are the one

518
00:47:42,364 --> 00:47:43,949
dancing on the blade.

519
00:48:52,643 --> 00:48:55,854
Great job. That was incredible.

520
00:48:55,938 --> 00:48:58,690
-Sir...
-Yes.

521
00:48:59,024 --> 00:49:00,526
If you don't mind,

522
00:49:00,609 --> 00:49:03,529
may I sing one more song?

523
00:49:03,612 --> 00:49:05,239
Of course. I'd love that.

524
00:49:05,822 --> 00:49:07,324
What's the title of the song?

525
00:49:10,661 --> 00:49:11,870
"Hymn of Death."

526
00:49:19,711 --> 00:49:20,754
Seong-deok.

527
00:49:22,256 --> 00:49:25,467
There is some cash
in the bottom closet drawer.

528
00:49:25,551 --> 00:49:26,927
Give it to Mom.

529
00:49:27,010 --> 00:49:28,804
Why don't you give it to her yourself?

530
00:49:29,846 --> 00:49:31,640
You'll get home before I do.

531
00:49:34,685 --> 00:49:35,936
Then when will you be home?

532
00:49:38,397 --> 00:49:40,148
You'll be late. You should hurry.

533
00:49:41,149 --> 00:49:42,317
All right.

534
00:49:42,526 --> 00:49:45,070
Then I'll get going.
You should hurry home, too.

535
00:49:52,995 --> 00:49:54,037
Seong-deok.

536
00:50:00,961 --> 00:50:02,087
Goodbye.

537
00:50:39,016 --> 00:50:40,100
U-jin.

538
00:50:41,268 --> 00:50:44,188
All that is left here are your writings.
Where did you go?

539
00:51:00,245 --> 00:51:02,331
May I have your name, sir?

540
00:51:02,873 --> 00:51:04,124
Kim...

541
00:51:07,836 --> 00:51:10,464
Kim Soosan. I'm Kim Soosan.

542
00:51:10,797 --> 00:51:13,342
Mr. Kim Soosan.

543
00:51:13,926 --> 00:51:14,968
What is your name, ma'am?

544
00:51:15,052 --> 00:51:18,805
Then... I'm Yun Soosun.

545
00:51:24,937 --> 00:51:27,731
The stairs are quite steep.
Watch your step.

546
00:51:27,814 --> 00:51:29,942
I will. Thank you.

547
00:51:56,009 --> 00:51:57,135
What are you looking at?

548
00:51:58,345 --> 00:52:00,430
I was just wondering
if I forgot anything at home.

549
00:52:01,431 --> 00:52:03,267
So? Did you forget something?

550
00:52:05,185 --> 00:52:07,020
I keep thinking, but I don't think I did.

551
00:52:09,231 --> 00:52:10,190
What about you?

552
00:52:14,653 --> 00:52:15,821
I don't think I did, either.

553
00:53:04,786 --> 00:53:06,455
The sun will rise soon.

554
00:53:12,127 --> 00:53:13,170
Give me a moment.

555
00:53:44,576 --> 00:53:45,494
Now, let's go.

556
00:54:02,594 --> 00:54:03,804
Do you remember?

557
00:54:04,429 --> 00:54:08,183
After our last show in Gyeongseong,
we went to a dance hall together.

558
00:54:10,602 --> 00:54:11,895
I remember, of course.

559
00:54:14,731 --> 00:54:17,651
You danced with another man that night.

560
00:54:38,922 --> 00:54:40,757
I'll dance with you tonight.

561
00:55:35,061 --> 00:55:36,938
<i>Your unforgettable name.</i>

562
00:55:38,064 --> 00:55:39,858
<i>Deep in my heart,</i>

563
00:55:41,985 --> 00:55:44,154
<i>your name is engraved, and I long for you.</i>

564
00:55:48,325 --> 00:55:49,868
<i>You set fire to my heart.</i>

565
00:55:53,330 --> 00:55:56,917
<i>In my heart, you ignited
the inextinguishable flame of love. </i>

566
00:56:00,003 --> 00:56:01,546
<i>Before your name can be forgotten,</i>

567
00:56:02,422 --> 00:56:04,216
<i>I long for you again.</i>

568
00:56:10,847 --> 00:56:14,601
<i>Oh, even at the moment of death,</i>

569
00:56:15,811 --> 00:56:17,312
<i>I shall call out your name.</i>

570
00:56:21,191 --> 00:56:22,400
<i>Even as I am living,</i>

571
00:56:24,569 --> 00:56:25,987
<i>my heart longs for you.</i>

572
00:56:28,949 --> 00:56:30,742
<i>Until the moment of death,</i>

573
00:56:32,994 --> 00:56:34,579
<i>I will long for you.</i>

574
00:56:41,711 --> 00:56:43,421
<i>You set fire to my heart.</i>

575
00:56:46,508 --> 00:56:48,009
<i>In my heart, you ignited</i>

576
00:56:49,386 --> 00:56:51,096
<i>the inextinguishable flame of love, </i>

577
00:56:53,557 --> 00:56:54,641
<i>Sim-deok.</i>

578
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:20,731
ARE YOU TRULY LIVING?

579
00:59:20,814 --> 00:59:24,068
NO, I AM YEARNING FOR DEATH
IN ORDER TO TRULY LIVE
