MAESTRA: STRINGS OF TRUTH
FIGURES, PLACES, INSTITUTIONS, ORGANIZATIONS, EVENTS, JOBS, AND OTHERS
WHAT IS DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA IS FICTIONAL
"EPISODE 6"
Today we premiered our Symphony No. 1 by Brahms.
Brahms took years to complete
this symphony.
This was only released after careful thought.
Therefore, this symphony is magnificent,
complicated, and complex.
For the next concert, I want to add
more dramatic elements to this already dramatic music.
Let's get started.
Yoseop.
Giant footsteps!
Good. Tempo!
More intense!
Bu Seeum
Ms. Seeum, are you okay?
It doesn't look like there was a fire.
So, why is the sprinkler on?
In fact, there are already many problems, this is even added to!
Look at the water! Just like being sprayed!
- Are you okay? - What a mess.
-Inhan. - Ya?
- Please contact an instrument technician. - Good.
Check your instruments
and hand over the damaged one first to the technician.
Ms. Seeum, are you okay?
Of course. Luna, quickly check the string instruments.
- Good. - What happened?
Mr. Jeon, please turn off the sprinkler.
Yes, of course.
- Please give them a dry towel. - Good.
Mr Park, are you okay?
I'm well. It's the instruments I'm worried about.
Yoseop, is the timpani okay?
Who knows. It looks pretty serious.
Seem?
Seem.
How do you...
Your mother wants to meet you.
Seeum's mother?
What is Bae Junghwa?
What's going on here?
That violin.
Seeum, why is the violin like that?
It's wet. The violin was soaking wet.
Mom, let's go back to the hospital.
Seem!
I don't want to go to the hospital.
I do not want.
Come on. Mom has to go to the hospital.
Seem!
You're going to get hit.
Please do not.
Mother
- Junghwa! - Mother.
- Quickly call 911. - OK.
Mom!
Mother
We need his family.
Of.
You're coming, right?
Aren't you coming?
Just me.
What?
I'm family.
Legally, I'm his immediate family.
Let me. Please take care of the members.
AMBULANCE 911
Seeum's mother looked dazed.
Yes, right? What is Alzheimer's disease?
The gods called Luna "Seeum", 'kan?
Bae Junghwa
used to be a famous violinist.
Didn't he suddenly disappear?
- What? - You know him closely, right?
Mr. Park, you only use Mr. Cha's violin.
Rumor has it, he's sick.
But why Professor Kim
brought his sick mother-in-law here?
Isn't that strange?
It's strange indeed.
Besides, I'm worried about Luna's violin.
The violin was wet and thrown on the floor.
CHUNG EUN ELDERLY CARE CENTER
Nn. Cha?
Your mother has been waiting for you to visit her for a long time.
There's not much time left.
I want to ask.
What are the early symptoms of this disease?
Since birth, sufferers' symptoms have been different.
A very high percentage of Remington patients are born with acute senses.
So, many of them become artists.
But slowly, all those senses began to dull.
Ultimately, the senses and nerves
stop working the way we want it to.
All the gifts obtained from birth were taken away in an instant.
That's why patients with this disease feel deeper frustration.
Specifically,
when they lose their memory and start being rude,
that's where the difficulty lies.
Especially because of the people closest to them
have to see their condition like that.
Die you!
You're a monster. You must die!
Die.
Your car isn't here because you came here by ambulance.
Go ahead, Maestra.
Nope.
Teacher,
It's late, so it's impossible to get a taxi.
Let me take you.
So, what do you want that bastard to do?
If you want, I can exile him,
beat him,
or even kill him.
Whatever you want, just say it.
Don't do anything.
Let me take care of it myself.
You're going to get hit.
What's up? All your shots miss.
The one I want to shoot isn't here.
Calm down, Yura.
You know the project is already underway, right?
If we have to stop, there will be consequences.
Anyway, I'm going to make a documentary on it.
I am home.
- Go out. - You kicked me out? That's not good.
Get out now.
Everyone will want to know what's wrong with your mother.
I can give them the answer.
I sent you a draft of our documentary.
Please check your email.
I told you to come along.
I lost my job because of you, so I hope for your cooperation.
Why?
You can't do anything without my help?
Turns out I couldn't.
All the privileges that come from your fame...
very hard to let go.
You must, as I let you go.
Seem.
It's not just love that binds us.
Living as partners doesn't seem like a bad idea, right?
You've seen it yourself.
I'm not just making empty threats.
Nn. Cha.
Of.
We have arrived.
Everything is fine?
Yes, everything is good.
Thank You.
CONCERT LEADER'S OFFICE
Pak Jeon!
What do insurance companies say?
Because it's fire insurance,
so it's not covered because it wasn't a fire that started the sprinkler.
Why? We have insurance.
The insurance we use
can't bear this.
It doesn't work well because the system is outdated.
They always look for excuses.
Why would anyone want to use insurance?
- Mr. Jeon. - What?
There is a bigger problem. Instrument damage...
Hundreds of millions of won?
Just for instruments?
And that's just the cost of repairs, not buying a new one?
It's too much to wait for the practice room to be repaired.
Seriously.
Who would have thought that he would rent a concert hall?
Seeum deserves praise.
Is this because our music is the same as the city orchestra's music?
They also performed Symphony No. 1.
Rumor has it that Seeum did it on purpose.
So that people are interested.
- Well... - Hello.
I'm not surprised he's like that.
Halo.
Look at the violin.
That must be a rental.
Do you have a spare violin?
This is a rental.
You should rent a more expensive one.
How do you come up with that?
Take advantage of this opportunity to buy a new violin.
After all, you're the concertmaster.
I plan on that.
Halo.
- Hello. - Okay.
We've had problems before because of those sprinklers,
but our concert date has been set, so we have to keep practicing.
But we can practice on stage and that's great, isn't it?
Okay.
The first rhythm of Symphony No. 1.
Everyone is focused. Let's start.
More intense.
Why is today such a mess?
Elementary students can do better than this.
You know our instruments are broken.
You should be more understanding.
Is that what you would say to the audience?
- That's not what I meant... - We are professionals.
If you want to make excuses like an amateur,
what are we pricing this show for?
At least, don't let us be embarrassed about setting a price.
From the beginning. Like a professional.
Four five six.
Suhyeon.
Decapitation from the start.
It must continue to be played with a loud legato.
Why is your breath so short?
Sorry.
Minjun, your breathing is also irregular.
Both of you, please catch your breath.
One more time.
Four, five, start!
It seems Seeum is very strict today.
You have to stop.
It's okay, Minho.
Replacing sprinklers is reasonable, but bears the cost of the instrument
a bit excessive.
Is this because of Seeum?
Now who is redundant?
Sorry.
Until tomorrow.
Why do you suddenly want your old violin?
I want to give it to someone.
Who do you want to give it to? Your father specially made it for you.
I really want to give it to someone.
Is it okay, Dad?
Yes. Dad is sure he deserves it.
Nice to see this
is in the hands of a new owner rather than just gathering dust.
Thank you for your understanding Dad.
Dad melts easily when it comes to Seeum.
There's something I want to say.
What is it?
Why is this serious? Stop it, I'm getting scared.
I want a divorce.
What do you mean?
That's my wish.
SEEUM MUSIC SHOP
Take advantage of this opportunity to buy a new violin.
After all, you're the concertmaster.
LOAN
U BANK, DONGHAENG BANK
- I'm not sure about this. - Period?
- You don't like it? - This one doesn't.
- This one. - This one is good.
I think it will suit you.
Two.
Hello, Future Sister-in-law.
Have you called that? That sounds strange.
It is okay. He had to get used to it.
So?
You're not working today?
I told you we wanted to buy a wedding dress.
Are you leaving?
- Him. - Too much.
- This one's good, right? - Yes.
This one doesn't.
Sis Haena, do you have money...
What?
- Just forget it. - What is it?
Nothing.
CHA SEUM
I'm sorry. My mother probably scared you.
It's okay.
Your mother is sick.
I understand.
Are you okay?
Of.
As an apology, I have something for you.
This used to be mine.
My father made it for me.
I don't know what to say...
The sound will be denser than the new one that needs to be tinkered with.
The tone has evolved.
Thank You.
I am very grateful.
Of?
There is a post from Cha Seeum.
This too.
Good afternoon.
The application letter will be sent soon. I have started divorce proceedings.
You should get a lawyer.
No answer. Please leave a message...
Troubled?
Seriously.
Where is this nonsense from, Mr. Shin?
I heard the repertoire
for this concert it is the same as the repertoire of the city orchestra.
In Korea, their interpretation of Brahms
much more acclaimed than Seeum's interpretation.
That is my opinion...
Still have to see first.
As soon as this concert is over,
You'll see why people rave about Seeum.
Cha Seeum.
There had never been a peaceful day since he joined as conductor.
You have a new concertmaster, his first concert was cancelled,
and rumors of her husband's infidelity. Very embarrassing.
As a reporter, you have to confirm the facts
before throwing it.
I'm just relaying what other people say...
I don't want to brag, but do you know how much
our ticket increase
since Seeum joined?
How much?
As per Seeum's promise, it...
- What's up? - Mr. Jeon?
- Mr. Jeon? - Ticket increase...
A moment.
What...
CHA SEEUM'S MOTHER, BAE JUNGHWA, HAS REMINGTON
What the hell...
Delete immediately.
Why was this article published?
- Delete now. - Okay sir.
Have you read the article? They said Seeum had a hereditary disease.
Crazy, right?
Seeum hasn't had it yet.
His mother is sick.
If the chance of having it is 50%, who knows?
Maybe he hides it from us.
He said the body began to stiffen and cognitive abilities decreased.
This article is probably true, right?
Who knows.
What are you doing? Time to practice.
Well, we...
Have you read the article?
You want me to read it, right?
Thank You.
All right. Let's practice.
See, there's a problem. There are reporters...
Reporter...
Please, you can't be here. You guys have to go.
I promise we will send an official statement.
OK, we understand.
- So... - What are you guys
want to meet me?
Seeum! Is today's news true?
Seeum, have you had the Remington test?
That's right. My mom has Remington.
This means the chance that I could get it is 50%.
You could conduct an orchestra if you had Remington?
Maybe not, but I'm still very healthy.
Have you had the test? Isn't that dangerous?
If I start to feel any symptoms, I will withdraw voluntarily.
Why is this a problem?
I don't have that disease.
I didn't expect this to cause such a stir.
But if the probability is 50%...
Anyone can get sick,
regardless of whether it is a hereditary disease or not.
In terms of possibilities, everyone here can experience it
because no one knows the future.
I think my answer is enough for today.
- Thank You. - Seeum!
Seem!
- Let's talk. - No need.
I'm afraid you'll draw the wrong conclusion. I'm not the culprit.
I know you probably don't believe me.
If I were you, I would think the same.
But it's really not me.
Hey, how are you?
You're definitely looking for death, aren't you?
What?
KVN was the first to release the article.
You didn't even tell me first.
Not...
I can withdraw all my ads, right?
You can't.
You are wrong to blame people.
I know it's not you.
I'm the culprit.
What?
I took advantage of you. So, what do you want now?
Your mother... Why do you have the heart...
Weren't you the one who brought my mother here?
Get out of here and from my life.
It was Seeum who asked me to publish the article.
What?
Don't do anything. Let me take care of it myself.
So, that's the point.
SEUM, MUSIC AROUND THE WORLD
Dad, I'm coming.
Seem.
Why are you here so late?
Pour it for me too.
Okay.
Let me pour it out.
I'm sorry.
You don't need to apologize.
It is the father who should apologize.
If Dad hadn't gone to the hospital with Phil that day...
It's Dad's fault...
No, don't think so.
I'm sorry dad.
I felt relieved after saying it.
After all, it's not a big deal.
Here, let's pour again.
No answer.
Please leave a message after this tone.
KIM PHIL
Why doesn't he answer the phone? In fact, he was sure
can persuade Seeum.
You think I'll give up?
Where is he?
What do you mean I can't be an art director?
Sorry, Professor Kim.
There are changes.
I can't stop thinking...
I banned it.
Nice to meet you, Mr Yoo.
- How are you? - Good.
Please sit.
Long time no see. Let me pour you a drink.
Of.
I really want to thank you
for allowing me to support you
Yeonsung International Music Festival.
Let's pour it out.
From now on,
I plan to hinder whatever he wants to do.
With all my heart.
Why are you being this reckless?
This reckless?
If I knew the answer, I might have stopped by now.
- Is this a joke? - You know this isn't a joke.
Mr. Head,
considering the type of festival it is, I know of several organizations in the US
which will be useful for you. Working with Hanphil
can also be profitable.
If I start to feel any symptoms, I will withdraw voluntarily.
Why is this a problem?
Of?
You're still here.
Everyone has gone home.
Why are you still here?
I want to practice again.
The violin music was so beautiful, I lost track of time.
Don't rely too much on the instrument.
Sorry?
On stage, instruments are important,
but what is more important is the player.
The musician playing is more important than the instrument.
The main thing is,
An orchestra consists of a group of people.
You can't just rely on instruments.
I understand.
It's in the violin case.
I don't know why it's there.
When I was young, my mother always used a stylograph.
I thought it was really cool and begged him to give it to me.
Bu Seeum
I'm going home now.
Okay. Be careful on the way.
Mother
I'm fine now.
What?
Mom, you were sick.
Mom, it would be better if we went to the hospital.
Seem.
Sorry Mom...
I'm really okay.
By the way, I know what I want for my graduation.
What?
That.
Fountain pen?
Okay.
Mom will buy it later.
No, I want that one. I want to have a mother.
I'm going to college in the US soon, so I wanted a keepsake from Mom.
I thought you were an adult, but it turns out you are still a child.
Of course.
This.

Sometimes it feels heavy
And gloomy
Fate that prevents me lurks
Like a shadow...
MAESTRA: STRINGS OF TRUTH
What do you mean arrested? What did Seeum do wrong?
His attitude was strange that day.
- Ketemu! - Nn. Cha.
The cases are different, but the suspects are the same.
To become the best orchestra is not instant.
Is this how you developed the orchestra?
At least say what it's about!
I have to give you a surprise gift before I leave.
I've forbidden you from coming.
If this continues, Hanphil is really over.
I never intended to destroy my orchestra.
