Jinwoo.
- Cha Jinwoo. - Yes?
Got you again.
Hey, stop right there.
That's the last voice of my friend and mine...
Let go.
- Stop it. - ...that I remember.
One day, I thought I just woke up from a deep sleep.
But out of the blue,
the whole world went completely silent.
I lost hearing in both ears due to a sudden high fever.
So I can't hear at all.
Jinwoo.
Cha Jinwoo.
It's not fun.
But in return,
I learned to develop observing eyes...
and find four-leaf clovers without being disturbed by noise.
Wow. It's a four-leaf clover!
I couldn't find one no matter how hard I tried.
But my eyes were drawn to them.
Being the only different one
among countless three-leaf clovers...
It somewhat...
bothered me.
EP 03 TEARS
TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME
It must've been so hard for you.
You still came after all that.
Thank you.
What does it feel like
to not able to hear anything?
No.
Never mind.
VERY DEEP...
Ah, I think it's out of battery.
Sorry?
Huh...
"A very deep sea"?
We're here.
That one.
I'll leave after you go in.
Oh, my God!
Come on!
What are you doing here? Go home.
Soju?
You should've told me sooner. Come on in, then.
I don't have much time. Come on.
You should've come 30 minutes earlier. Jeez.
Let's make it quick, okay? I'm suddenly in such a good mood.
Okay.
Hey.
I can hear while you can't, right?
But we're friends.
I mean, dating someone or getting married
is not so different. Don't you agree?
You think
you're very kind and warm-hearted, don't you?
Am I not?
Okay, you're kind. I'll admit.
But warm-hearted? No way, okay?
Hmm? You should give and receive more actively like me.
How do I put it?
From time to time, give others generously,
take credit for it,
and be clingy.
You'll seem easier to approach that way
and grow on others.
But you never do that.
You don't give.
You don't receive.
You shouldn't be so clear about everything when it comes to people.
What?
Why are you laughing? I'm serious.
Your sign language is terrible
but I understand everything you say, so I'm proud of myself. That's why.
Exactly my point.
You don't have to be perfect.
Nobody is.
When Sohee and I
can't seem to understand what each other is talking about,
we just hold each other.
It's enough that we stay together, isn't it?
Words are not everything.
You just said I'm not a warm-hearted person.
Yes.
Anyone who stays with me...
will feel cold.
Yes.
You're right. I feel cold because of you.
It's funny you know that.
MOEUN: I'M HERE. TAKE YOUR TIME :)
ARE YOU RUNNING LATE?
DID SOMETHING HAPPEN?
Everyone makes mistakes,
and tries to make up for what they're not good at.
But in order to avoid the same mistakes,
I look around me
as often and carefully as possible.
However, I still find myself very close to someone...
Are you okay? I'm sorry.
...when I least expect it.
Are you okay?
The café opened just now.
Would you like some coffee?
Thanks for the offer, but I have somewhere I need to be.
Ah, you must be busy.
Since I can't hear people's footsteps approaching me,
I must always keep a safe distance from them.
So that no one...
gets hurt.
Hello. Can I come in?
Hold on.
Remember I told you we'd introduce our class?
YES!
- YES! - YES!
They'll take some pictures of you. Is there anyone who doesn't want to do it?
NO
USUALLY, WHITE REPRESENTS GOOD, AND BLACK REPRESENTS EVIL
AS THEY SAY WE SHOULD BE THE SALT OF THE EARTH,
THE IMAGE OF SALT FELT SIMILAR TO THE GOOD FEELINGS OF WHITE
WHILE SEEING MILK,
I THOUGHT OF A CUTE AND INNOCENT BABY
I THINK MILK SHOWS THE INNOCENCE OF WHITE
EVERY WHITE THING FELT THE SAME TO ME
AND I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT YOUR INTENTIONS
WHEN YOU TOLD ME TO FIND THE TRUE WHITE
SO I DREW A RADISH
Why?
IT SOUNDS LIKE NOTHINGNESS
NO THOUGHT
THUS, A WHITE RADISH
- WHAT IS THIS? - WHAT?
- CAN YOU EVEN GO TO COLLEGE? - YES
Hold that door.
Hold on! Oh!
All right. Whenever you're ready.
Okay.
Before I realized
Darkness has fallen
- Moving away alone... - Cut it.
Is your throat okay?
Yes, it is.
Well, let's do it again. I'm sorry.
Sure.
Before I realized
Darkness has fallen
Moving away...
Well, your pitch was a bit sharp. I'm sorry. Let's try again.
Can't you just touch it up?
Let's try again. I'm sorry.
You went too fast and a bit flat.
That's not the correct lyrics.
Let's try again from there.
Let's try again and more slowly. I'm sorry.
You went too fast. From the top.
Well, the lyrics--
Right, I'm sorry. Please check the lyrics again.
Please. Thank you.
When did he get the demo?
Does he know the lyrics?
I told him to practice.
But the manager said he was too busy.
He said he was confident and even interpreted the song.
"Interpreting the song"?
Interpreting without even knowing the alphabet?
Mr. Yoon. You didn't know the talkback mic was open, did you?
I heard it all.
Oh, I'm sorry.
But you know what? I wanted you to hear it.
Mr. Yoon, let's just make it easy and nice for us, with a smile.
Sure, I understand.
Easy and nice for us, with a smile.
Mm.
Look, Eden. Have you ever had
a breakup?
You see, I recently broke up with someone and wrote this song.
Without that breakup, this song wouldn't exist.
Like the lyrics say,
"It would be better if I didn't have to write this song."
But if I keep laughing every time I listen to it,
it's either one of two things.
I have finally gone crazy
or your singing sucks.
So should I still
make it easy and nice for us?
Tell the manager to clear his schedule.
And I'll cancel it if he refuses to practice.
Okay.
Darn it.
YOON JOHAN
Hello?
What's up?
Just breathing.
My, that must be tiring.
I should play with you.
Want to go to Maisie's concert next week?
Can I have two tickets?
Of course, you can.
I'll pick you up. You and Jiyu?
Hey, I have someone else to go with other than Jiyu.
Who?
There's someone.
Fine, let's all go together then.
Count yourself out.
What? Why? What are you talking about?
Count me in. I'm so bored. I'm serious.
Hey, it's too exhausting to talk while breathing.
Bye.
Fine. Then I'll send you the tickets right now, okay?
Hey, and...
Hold on. Why am I begging her when I'm the one giving her the tickets?
Jeez.
Thank you.
Please give us a call.
Bye, Jaehyeok.
Hey, wait. Come over here.
Just a second. Come here.
Come on, just come.
This is Mr. Cha Jinwoo. He drew Ryu Bobi's album covers.
You really loved the paintings.
Well, I wouldn't say "love."
I'm Yoon Johan.
Right. He's a composer.
Oh, is he the deaf painter you talked about last time?
Yes, he is.
It's nice to meet you. I'm Yoon Johan.
I'M SORRY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN THE ELEVATOR
PEOPLE OFTEN MISUNDERSTAND ME BECAUSE I CAN'T HEAR
No, don't be.
Goodbye, then.
See you next time.
Have a safe trip back.
What did you do?
Hey, get over here. What did you do?
TRASH
RESTORE
MOTHER
LOADING VIDEO...
Jinwoo, have you been well?
Mister, don't I look good in this?
She loves the tutu you sent her. She's so excited.
Show him. You practiced it.
Thank you for the birthday present.
Good job.
Listen to your doctor.
You remember we promised to meet on Children's Day, right?
Hello.
I'm here to deliver...
Oh, coffee.
I'm sorry it took so long.
CHA JINWOO'S QUIET WESTERN PAINTINGS CLASS
DAREUM ARTS CENTER
Excuse me. Can I take one of these?
Go ahead.
Thank you.
"Painter Cha Jinwoo, the lecturer of this class,
was put in an orphanage not long after he was born
and lost his hearing due to a high fever when he was seven."
"Fortunately, he learned sign language from the orphanage director,
but he had to go to a normal school for personal reasons."
Ah!
I was just reading this.
Could you spare a moment?
Shall we go to the practice room?
Sure.
I was sad that we missed the concert last time.
So this is great, isn't it?
MOBILE TICKET MAISIE
WHEN I SAID...
I CAN ENJOY MUSIC,
WHEN I SAID I CAN ENJOY MUSIC,
I MEANT THAT I CAN FEEL MUSIC
I DIDN'T MEAN THAT I LIKE IT
Uh...
Well...
Do you want to go see paintings together?
NOT BEING ABLE TO HEAR
DOESN'T BOTHER ME ANYMORE
BUT THERE ARE STILL MOMENTS
WHEN I NEED OTHER PEOPLE'S HELP
FOR EXAMPLE,
I CAN'T KNOCK
BECAUSE I CAN'T HEAR PEOPLE
ANSWERING THE DOOR
I CAN ONLY EITHER OPEN THE DOOR WITHOUT PERMISSION AND BE A RUDE...
BECAUSE I CAN'T HEAR PEOPLE ANSWERING THE DOOR,
I CAN ONLY EITHER OPEN THE DOOR WITHOUT PERMISSION AND BE A RUDE PERSON
OR JUST WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE COMES OUT
MOEUN...
MOEUN, YOU REACHED OUT TO ME
WHEN I WASN'T AWARE THAT THERE WAS A FIRE
SO IF SOMETHING HAPPENS AND YOU NEED MY HELP, LET ME KNOW
WHATEVER IT IS, AND WHENEVER YOU NEED ME,
I WILL COME TO YOU
BUT YOU SHOULD...
BUT YOU SHOULD ENJOY GOOD THINGS WITH SOMEONE ELSE
SOMEONE THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE SO CONSIDERATE TOWARDS
SOMEONE COMFORTABLE TO BE WITH AND WHO'S A GOOD MATCH FOR YOU
SOMEONE COMFORTABLE TO BE WITH
It feels like a letter.
"You should enjoy
good things with someone else."
- Here's your order. - Thank you.
DON'T FEEL PRESSURED BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED IN JEJU
THANKS FOR SAYING YOU'LL COME HELP ME ANYTIME
I DON'T. WHAT HAPPENED IN JEJU ARE GOOD MEMORIES TO ME.
Welcome.
What? Hey. Look who's here.
Hey, you came.
But I think you should go home.
You seem a bit too drunk.
No, I didn't drink much.
And I should drink more since I met Jinwoo.
Though he's a little boring because he's so taciturn.
It was a joke.
I'll have what he's having.
Okay.
Here, this is non-alcoholic.
Drink what you kept here.
Should I?
Oh, right. I read your interview.
What interview?
All right. You can't read it without tearing up.
It's Cha Jinwoo's life story.
I see.
I'm reminded of the old days.
You see, when he was drawing
with that handsome face,
all quiet and aloof, it was just game over.
But it turned out he was a orphan
and can't hear.
Every girl was like, "I should protect Jinwoo."
He may look clueless, but he's such a fox.
He knows what they like.
The superstar that Haneulbit Orphanage raised!
Oh, Haneulbit Orphanage.
I used to live there, too.
I miss Mother.
Uh...
Oh...
That's how you know each other?
Yes, that's how.
I see...
What do we do?
Nothing.
RESERVED
No, no, no.
Jinwoo.
Have you heard from Seokyung?
Have you?
There you go again, looking so clueless.
You're such a coward.
Sometimes, I envy you.
You can just say you didn't know.
Then and now.
You have a place to hide.
Goodness. You're still here.
Come on. You should go home now.
- Come on. Sir, get him home safely. - Thank you.
Watch your head.
Goodbye.
And don't come again.
Bye. I'll get back inside.
You have a place to hide.
You know who made Seokyung end up that way.
Jinwoo!
- I'll also just-- - Arim. Eunsoo.
Are you going home?
No way. We're working overtime today.
- Outside the office. - Oh, I feel bad for you.
- It's Jaden! - Where?
Is he an actor? Or an idol?
It's odd. Why do I not want to tell you?
He's a new personal trainer at the gym Eunsoo goes to.
- Oh, a trainer. - He's not handsome!
Do not take any interest in him.
What?
Apparently, after just one class with him, and you fall for him.
I hear he's that hot.
I'm not interested.
So where is the gym?
How can I help you?
Well, I'm just here for consultation.
Consultation, I see.
I hear there's a trainer here who teaches well.
What was him name? J... Jason?
J... Jaden?
Oh, I'm sorry.
Jaden's schedule is already full.
Oh... I see.
I understand.
He just started working here.
I wonder how people find out and come looking for him.
What in the world is he like?
Pardon?
You mean Jaden?
I'm not sure how I should describe him.
But this is what I think personally.
He's so cute when he smiles, so sexy when he keeps a straight face,
so charismatic when working, and so funny when we hang out.
Come on. No one's that perfect.
Jaden is.
He's pretty new here, but his schedule is already full.
What?
Hey, there's still one spot left here.
Cute, sexy, charismatic, humorous. He is all those things.
Isn't it insane?
Even his name's perfect.
Goodness... Sounds like dissociative identity disorder.
- Possessed by many identities. - Hey!
So how much is it again?
Thirty sessions. How many months in installments?
I think God's telling me to work out.
You know how much I hate to even move.
I do.
But if I get trained by Jaden,
I feel like I could even win a gold medal.
A gold medal, my foot.
You don't even know which country he's from.
Hey.
Does nationality matter in love?
That's your business.
Let me tell you in advance.
If you fail to pay the living expenses because of that, you won't get any meals.
That sounds great.
If I work out hard and skip meals because I have no money, I'll lose weight.
- Maybe I'll become a model. - A model for kids?
Darn it.
I should eat a lot now.
MODAM: I'M IN SEOUL. I'LL STAY AT JOHAN'S PLACE.
Jeez.
- Who is it? - Modam.
He says he's in Seoul. At Johan's place.
That annoying brat.
What?
I mean, he looks so down on us.
He lectures me every chance he gets.
He nags me more than my mom.
That little brat.
He's not little, though.
What's that look?
You bad-mouth him, too.
It doesn't feel good when you do it.
Jeez. Because he's your little brother?
Hey, just stop beating him.
Modam also thinks I'm studying for the civil service exam.
If you think he'll find out soon,
shut him up in advance, before your parents find out.
Hmm.
So, any auditions?
Still nothing?
Maybe...
I should just really start to study for the exam.
To be honest, I don't think I have a talent for acting.
Listen, ma'am.
You don't have a talent for studying either.
So you should just do what you want to do.
Yes, ma'am.
- You have my permission. - Thank you.
- Work hard. - Yes, ma'am.
Ah!
Why wasn't I able to be honest with my mom and dad?
Sometimes I feel bad for myself
that I'm lying about my dream.
Do you know what people say when they find out I majored in art?
"Why not work as a painter or a curator?"
What do you say to that?
"Being an office worker suits me."
"Regular working hours and a stable salary."
"It's much better for me."
"Isn't it? Don't you agree?"
Still, you're honest with yourself.
But me? I keep lying to myself.
"I like how it is now. I'm satisfied."
So I envy you.
Really?
Yes.
Make it big so that I can benefit from you.
- Okay. - I believe in you.
- By the way, Jiyu. - Yes?
Did you wash your feet?
Sorry. Cheers.
Let's go!
God, I don't want to go to work.
Hello?
Yes, this is she.
Oh... I see.
I understand.
Bye.
What is it? Who was it?
Jiyu.
I got casted.
What?
I have lines, too.
For real?
Oh, my!
I'm so happy for you!
Did you not get the message?
Well, today...
Bye.
Oh, no.
Who is he?
He's one of Mr. Cha's students.
I think he didn't get the class cancelation text.
I see.
You got cast, so make me an iced Americano to celebrate.
All right.
I'm so thirsty.
So how do you feel now?
CHA JINWOO I PASSED THE AUDITION
How about we put the phrase here?
- It's too convoluted. - You think so?
- Hello. - Thank you.
Enjoy the coffee.
Thank you.
I HEARD YOU'RE TAKING...
I HEARD YOU'RE TAKING A FEW DAYS OFF FOR PERSONAL REASONS
I HOPE NOTHING BAD HAPPENED
We'll begin the practice now.
- Ma'am. - Yes?
- This is your first session, right? - Yes.
- You must be so nervous. - Just a little?
He's coming.
- Good luck. - Thanks.
Oh... You go to this gym, too?
All right. I'm busy, so see you.
Go away.
Where is he?
You are seeing him now.
What do you mean?
He was discharged from military service and came to Seoul just a while ago--
I'm Jaden, your personal trainer, Ms. Oh Jiyu.
Says who? He's Jaden?
Excuse me?
You're Jung Modam. How could you be Jaden?
I will do my best to turn your worries to relief,
your distrust to trust, and your rage to joy.
Now, shall we go measure your fitness level?
- No. No way. - Let's go.
No. Wait. Ma'am!
- Where's Jaden? - Here I am.
No! I want a refund!
No!
- Hey. - Mother!
- Father! - Goodness.
- You're here. - Good to see you, Johan.
Oh, my.
Hey, I told you not to...
- You brat. - Thank you.
Yes, thank you.
Goodbye.
My goodness.
- What's all this? - Ow!
If you do this every time
it'll make me expect something when I hear you're coming.
I'll be happy if you do that.
And happier if you wait for me to come.
How sweet of you to say that.
- Where should I put... - No, leave it. I'll organize them.
Huh?
Does Father play guitar?
I HOPE NOTHING BAD HAPPENED
YOON JOHAN
Hello?
Yes. My parents' house...
Are you in my room again?
Where else? In your parents' room?
Anyway, you really should call your father often.
You can't because you're lying, right?
I'll tell them soon.
I'm on the film set right now.
I'll tell them the truth when this show airs.
When does it air?
I don't know yet.
By the way, I have a line for the first time.
Though it's just one line.
Hey, all famous quotes are a single line.
Just give it your all and make it a legendary one.
Hey, don't you dare touch anything in my room.
And just get out of there quietly.
Come on.
I wouldn't keep any of yours.
All right. Bye.
Good luck.
I wouldn't keep any of yours.
Next up would be Server 1.
- Here. - That'd be me.
You both are it.
I guess the ADs didn't tell you. I'm sorry.
- You know the scene, right? - Yes.
When you get wet with booze, it'll take too long to prep you again.
One of you will get ready while the other shoots.
- So get ready. - Okay.
We'll take scene 28 in ten.
Okay.
- Are you here to watch? - No, ma'am.
Get it together and listen carefully.
You didn't see anything here.
Okay. I understand.
Shut your mouth. Did I tell you to answer...
Darn it. I totally messed up the line.
- Cut! - Darn it. I was doing great!
"I never told you to answer."
- "I never told..." - The emotion just now...
- Oh, are you okay? - Yes.
It was great.
- Why did I stammer? - We could use it,
but you stammered a little, so...
Darn it.
With the same emotion, just one more time.
- Just once more? - Yes.
How about three times more?
- Really? - Yes.
- Love the passion. - To make it better.
The other Server 1, please come in.
- Can you wait a minute? - Okay.
We'll begin if you're ready.
Ready, action!
Hey.
You were really good earlier.
What if they choose the other's take?
Then it can't be helped.
I learned a lot.
Standing by all day just to get slapped and soaked...
It must be so hard.
This too shall pass.
I think I did a good job.
It was a good day's work, but...
CHA JINWOO
IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?
YOU TOLD ME TO TELL YOU WHEN I WAS HAVING A HARD TIME
Hi, Mom.
Yes, I just was just wondering
if you had dinner.
Come on, Mom.
It's just one meal. It's no big deal.
I'm just old-fashioned.
Johan came over in the afternoon.
He went for a walk with your dad. He's staying over.
So I heard.
He says you're doing well
and everything will go well for you, so I shouldn't worry.
For once, he's right.
- Really? - Of course.
I'm...
doing really well lately.
Then it's all good.
Come over when you have a hard time.
I'll let you whine.
That's what moms are for, right?
Right, I will.
I will do that when it gets hard.
All right. Bye, then.
Bye.
TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME
We'll begin the performance!
So the director suggested that you play Myeongju.
Thank you for trying to listen
and do best you can.
Sometimes, I forget
that... you can't hear.
I've never seen Mr. Cha smile like that.
