MAESTRA: STRINGS OF TRUTH
FIGURES, PLACES, INSTITUTIONS, ORGANIZATIONS, EVENTS, JOBS, AND OTHERS
IN THIS DRAMA IT IS FICTIONAL
"EPISODE 8"
Halo?
Ms. Ch. This is Detective Choo Dongsik.
You're the last person
who called Kim Bongju.
What do you mean last?
Kim Bongju is dead.
His body was found in the Han River.
Do you know about this?
Halo?
Seem, ini Bongju.
We have to meet.
I have something to show you.
Where are you now?
I will wait for you in front of Hanphil.
EVIDENCE OF THE CRIME SCENE
Can we find any evidence here?
We have to find any evidence.
Too much.
Nn. Cha,
what are you looking for?
Kim Bongju
died.
Is it true?
Yes, the body was found in the Han River.
The cause of his death is not yet known.
We suspect this is murder.
KIM BONGJU
These are photos from the crime scene.
Look at it.
The injection marks are clearly visible...
For the umpteenth time.
I don't want an autopsy.
But Mr. Kim is involved
- In drug cases... - You mean
Bongju uses drugs?
I mean he's involved
- In case... - No way.
My son is not a user.
If you want to keep your job,
you have to remember that.
We all know Pak Kim used to be a wearer.
Before the election,
you cover it.
Do you want to cover it again?
Your son may be murdered.
Detective,
you are late
This is how you treat people
who recently lost a child?
So?
Sorry.
Dongsik, why are you here? That's enough.
Respect the wishes of the grieving family.
Don't you think this is strange?
Kim traps Cha,
accusing him of being the mastermind behind the drugs.
But he died after Cha left the police station.
Besides, Cha was the last person he called.
How could you not be suspicious?
- Still... - Cha Seeum.
Strange things keep happening around him.
We have to investigate.
Officer
Too much.
KIM BONGJU
No. Seem.
You don't want to come in?
Are you okay?
You don't look well.
I'm fine.
You have to go to the hospital.
No need.
Let me take you there.
I'm really fine.
Please.
Really messed up.
Why are they blurred?
We will continue to meet each other.
They feel embarrassed because they quit.
How could they be happy?
after stopping?
I thought about quitting too.
Pak Jeon.
The drug scandal had a big impact.
Seeum is not being sued...
but instead Minjun and Suhyeon.
It's hard to change public opinion...
Enough already.
JUNG & LEE LAW FIRM
About how long?
Please hold on as long as possible.
Sorry?
Is it right to take longer to process a divorce that both parties agree on?
Each case is different, but most take longer
because of both parties
have a number of problems to resolve.
Because you were in the wrong, this case weighs on you.
But your wife has indicated her intention to sue.
He will give up his plans.
So.
If our partner dies...
the case was dropped, right?
What if the case is declared unlawful?
I don't understand what you mean...
Actually...
it's nothing.
Please try to drag out the process as long as possible.
Yeah, got it.
Thank you for taking me home.
You can go home.
Try sleeping.
The fever is getting higher.
YOO JEONGJAE
NO ANSWER. PLEASE CALL AGAIN LATER.
I thought you had it taken care of!
"Orkestra Narkoba".
How do you account for this?
Don't worry, I will take full responsibility.
This has been handled.
How could that be...
I told you I would bear all the losses myself.
Don't let me do it again.
CHUNG EUN REHABILITATION AND ELDERLY CARE CENTER
I don't remember anything about that night.
Is it possible...
I started sleepwalking?
If I had a Remington...
- Ms. Cha... - Isn't that one of the symptoms?
If your memory gets worse,
that's a possible symptom.
But you said
you drank a lot that night,
so it was probably the alcohol, not the Remington.
If...
Just forget it.
I said goodbye.
If you're worried,
how about you get tested?
Nope.
Thank You.
The test results will come out in a month.
Okay.
Nn. Cha,
no need to stress.
The symptoms do not appear immediately.
Just calm down and don't worry too much.
Okay.
His...
No. Seem.
No. Seem!
CHA SEUM
LEE UP
CHA SEUM
What time will it be?
Thirty minutes left.
We will definitely arrive on time.
Ms. Cha goes to a rehabilitation center.
NN. KIM
Cancel all meetings today.
Sorry?
Choo...
Detective Choo?
What do you need here?
Halo.
Yoo Jeongjae, kepala Finansial UC.
I don't think your goal is to relax during work hours.
I want to investigate the case.
So, don't mind me, please go.
Looks like you want to meet Cha Seeum.
This is your act
obstruct legal proceedings.
Does the police commander know you're here?
Arresting innocent people is bad enough,
now you come without following the proper procedures?
You have to leave or get an arrest warrant.
SEEUM MUSIC SHOP
THIRTY-FIRST
Halo.
I want to repair my violin.
Welcome.
No. Seem.
Are you still here?
I thought you were lost again.
I am very scared.
I'm very worried because I can't contact you.
So.
I'm sorry.
That was a tough day.
Are you okay?
Yes, thanks to you.
I'm grateful.
But where did you go just now?
Shouldn't you go home? You must be tired.
Of.
Be careful on the road.
No. Seem.
Music mullah...
who helped me survive all this time.
My father's business went bankrupt,
and the situation was so difficult that I intended to stop playing the violin.
But I happened to watch your show on TV.
As soon as I saw you, I knew I had to keep chasing my dreams.
That's why I don't give up.
Music mu
give people
dreams, hopes, and courage.
So, I won't give up.
I will try to persuade the members to return.
As a concertmaster, I will continue to try.
Thank You.
Knowing how you feel is enough for me.
This is my job, so I must be responsible.
I know you can.
Mr Jeon, I have to talk to you.
To put it bluntly,
I'm the backbone,
so I can't work in an unstable environment.
Everything in Hanphil will return to normal.
Those who stay at Hanphil will get a salary increase too.
Is it true? Is that possible?
Of.
Are you serious, Seeum?
- How do we... - Just cut my salary.
So, increase the salaries of the members.
Of course salary is important,
but that wasn't enough to persuade members...
Please accept my offer.
My goodness.
We don't want to change our minds.
Don't be so harsh.
Please return to Hanphil.
We need you. Please consider.
You don't need to lower your head.
It's not even your fault.
The second violin is the link
between the first violin and other instruments.
Its role is very important.
Your abilities and experience
is the reason Hanphil is able to create beautiful harmonies.
No need to praise excessively.
Well, we're pretty important to the orchestra.
Your absence is so felt.
Help back.
CONCERT LEADER AUDITION ROOM
Did the audition go well?
That is none of your business.
I heard this orchestra has a lot of problems.
Half of them entered through relationships, so they have no talent.
The CEO only cares about filling his pockets by accepting bribes.
Is being the concertmaster here worth it?
Again, where I go or what I do is none of your business.
Of course I care. I need you in my orchestra.
I changed the concertmaster
and made you assistant concertmaster
because I realized your talent, Sujin.
Too late.
I've auditioned and it went perfectly.
If you want to join a better orchestra than Hanphil,
I'm happy to let you go.
But you don't belong here.
Think about it.
Sujin, go back to Hanphil.
Please.
What do you need here?
You want to make a documentary, right? Let's make it.
What Yura wanted to make about you and Phil?
No, Hanphil's documentary.
Why did I make that?
Your image has been bad lately.
If I accept it, our image will be bad.
Besides, you think
Anyone want to watch a documentary about Hanphil?
I'm sure the ratings will be good.
Why are you so sure?
Because Phil will host the event.
Your husband?
What do you mean?
Didn't you reject us?
He is not my husband anymore.
I don't understand...
What if news of our divorce broke three days before it aired?
Phil and Seeum are divorced, but making a documentary together?
People will be curious, right?
So, you mean...
Exclusive coverage of our divorce.
Plus, the documentary Hanphil stars a divorced couple.
I'll give both to KVN.
How? The ratings will be high.
If KVN rejects my offer, I will offer it to another station.
Illogical.
True, this is strange.
This doesn't make sense,
but Kim Bongju's death was considered an accident,
and the drug case was dismissed.
You have to forget it.
Because one dealer died,
do they want to stop drug cases?
I heard the commander met Mr. Kim.
They covered it up.
So
this is very dangerous.
There are board members
and head of UC Finance
which is an obstacle.
What can we do?
Look for evidence.
That will solve everything.
Did you find anything?
What's that?
Hopefully this is the evidence we are looking for.
Kim Bongju is dead.
His body was found in the Han River.
Do you know about this?
Kim Bongju is dead.
His body was found in the Han River.
Do you know about this?
Good morning.
They're back.
Welcome back.
- Hello. - Good morning.
- Thank goodness. - Thank you.
Let's move on.
They all come back.
Halo.
- Hello. - Hello.
Thanks for coming back.
The concert is approaching,
so don't waste time.
As you know, we will bring...
Sorry I'm late.
Now everything is here.
When Beethoven composed his Symphony No. 5,
he faced many difficulties,
such as love problems and ongoing hearing loss.
In Beethoven's biography, his assistant Anton Schindler
quoting Beethoven
that his first beat describes
"destiny has come".
We don't know if it's true,
but we know his first beat reflects his determination
to fight his impending destiny.
You've done a lot of concerts over the years.
This time we have to show the audience
Hanphil's new side.
Now,
let's open the door to our destiny.
I reworked the storyline.
It's a shame we can't make another documentary.
So, here is my suggestion.
Film dokumenter tentang Hanphil sasaan sedangan Seeum.
CHA SEUM DAN HANPHIL
What does that have to do with me?
I want you to do the interview in the documentary.
Me?
We will prepare a list of questions for you,
but the interview will be much more detailed if you take the lead
rather than a director or screenwriter.
Well...
And of course...
You are also Seeum's husband.
So,
Hanphil has agreed to this?
Yes, Seeum also agreed.
You know Hanphil is going through a hard time.
So, they are happy to be able to appear.
So.
I have one condition.
Do not tell anyone
I plan to announce my divorce.
- That is for sure. - Including Jeongjae.
What?
And Phil.
Good.
Is there any problem?
I do.
This will be exciting for many reasons.
Have you gone crazy?
What are you doing? I'm in a meeting.
- There's a face I don't want to see. - Go out.
Hello, Nn. To.
The timing is perfect. That's my purpose in meeting you.
What?
Why did you leave me out of that documentary?
That's my idea. Why am I being left out?
This is very different.
- I want to do it. - No.
Why?
Because I forbid it.
- Get out. Sorry, yes. - Why?
- Let's talk outside. - No.
Follow me. Excuse me.
- What are you doing? - What?
What a great opportunity.
Where there is a will, there must be a way.
We are really lucky.
Indeed, the time is right.
This time, Seeum also participated.
The situation is slowly starting to improve.
Is it true that Professor Kim hosted the event?
What Ms. Cha know that?
Professor Kim the driver?
Of course he knows, he has seen the proposal.
And he wants to do it?
Of course. This is not the time to be picky.
- Do not talk nonsense. - Okay.
Two lovebirds appear on the screen together. This will be good.
Good for Hanphil too.
Prepare well.
Too much.
KIM TAEHO
CEO FINANCIAL UC, YOO JEONGJAE
Ya?
KVN will come here to make a documentary.
Straight?
The presenter is Professor Kim.
What?
Mrs. Cha knows and remains ready.
They will be filming soon.
Is this okay?
Thank you for letting me know.
Yes. I will contact you later.
Do you know?
Two.
What are you doing in there?
I'm just checking to see if the practice room needs to be cleaned.
Because it might be dirty.
Have you eaten?
Lunch time is almost over.
I have not eaten.
It's already late, why haven't you...
Do you want to have lunch
with me?
- You have eaten? - Not yet, I'm starving.
You can too.
let's have lunch
together
OK, come on.
What do you want?
Let's talk.
Don't make a KVN documentary.
I must.
- Hanphil needs it. - Don't.
It's just a waste of your time.
- I'll make sure Hanphil... - No.
Anyway, I'm going to shoot.
Why do you want to see that bastard again?
I don't need to avoid it.
- Come on. - If I can attract attention,
I will do anything.
My way is always like that.
So, don't stop me.
Isn't this excessive?
Are you alone? Why are you behaving like this?
You pretend you don't know.
From now on, stop that.
Stop it?
Yes, stop it.
This is my orchestra, I will take care of it.
So stop making me worry.
No matter how hard I try not to worry, I can't.
I told you not to, but you didn't obey.
I offered to help, you refused.
It feels like I...
I hate it and it's so confusing.
But stupidly, I can't stop worrying about you.
Why does Hanphil mean so much to you?
If you leave that orchestra, your problems are solved.
You are right. If I leave, my problem is solved.
But...
this may be my last orchestra.
You are right.
If I leave, my problem is solved.
But...
this may be my last orchestra.
- Hello. - Hi all.
Two.
Your makeup is different today.
We're going on TV, so I put on my make-up.
I should have done my makeup too.
We can go tomorrow. They're filming
until the concert.
Who did your make-up?
It looks the same.
Just a waste of money.
That's because you are both naturally beautiful.
Hello. - Yes.
Halo.
class,
Looks like you're getting fatter.
I...
I'm indeed getting fatter.
Look, your style has changed.
You usually wear heels,
now only wear flat shoes.
Professor Kim!
Halo.
Long time no see, Professor.
Yes, it's been a long time.
Are you all healthy?
- Yes. - Of course.
Hopefully our shooting goes smoothly today.
We can't wait.
CHA SEUM DAN HANPHIL
QUESTION FOR CHA SEEUM
Of?
Two.
Halo.
Let's do it.
Want to do the interview here?
You can too.
Are you okay...
Today?
I'm ready to start.
For today's interview, it mostly followed a script
that we provide for you.
Recently,
You're outspoken about Remington's disease.
Of.
I discussed the possibility of having Remington's disease.
Yes, "likely".
And if symptoms start to appear,
You will step down from your position voluntarily.
Yes that's correct.
So,
What does standing on the podium mean to you?
It's like a battlefield.
- Battlefield? - Yes.
The members are in front of me and the audience is behind me.
The conductor is the center of everyone's attention.
Somehow, I was standing on the opposite side of everyone.
So, the stage is like a battlefield with enemies all over.
If it turns out to be that heavy,
Have you ever thought about stepping down before your time is up?
I quite like adrenaline.
So.
Too much.
Our current share value is 18,500 won, revenue is 29 billion won,
and operating profit of 1.4 billion.
Revenue has increased 22% compared to the first quarter of last year.
So, earnings for the second half...
They are filming.
The dramas we introduced earlier this year
very popular in Taiwan, Thailand, and Indonesia.
Feedback suggests the whole thing will be a global success.
Plus, our sales...
What do you want?
What kind of reception is that?
If it's not important, go home. I'm tired.
This is important.
I heard you sold your shares because of Hanphil.
What's that got to do with you?
It's been 20 years, why is he still so important?
Since when were you this romantic?
You don't fit like that.
You seem to forget we're divorced.
You have to stop this.
We didn't get married because we love each other.
Have you ever...
Why do you behave like this?
Do we marry for love?
What do you expect from me?
Cha Seeum.
He's using you.
He's shooting a documentary with Phil today.
Don't let him play you.
Enough.
I'm fed up with your behavior.
I think we're done.
I have one last question.
You're the youngest Hanphil concertmaster.
What are your goals in life?
I want to continue working with Ms. Seeum.
Can you explain?
I want to work with Ms. Seeum
to make Hanphil a glorious orchestra.
That's my dream.
So.
I hope your dream achieved.
Thank You.
Cut. Good.
- Good. - Thank You.
- Thank You. - Good.
Did you interview Ms. Seeum too?
Of course.
You're amazing.
Why is that?
I mean, you must be very busy.
You were good.
Thank you to all of you.
Thank You.
Good.
Help him release the microphone.
Thank You.
- You're great. - Just normal.
My appearance is normal.
TES
CONCERT
BEETHOVEN, APPRECIATION
It's quiet.
I don't think many tickets will sell for this concert.
We should be giving out more free tickets.
His seat will be empty during filming.
I'm sure it will be half full.
A quarter of the chairs are our guests.
I know.
This will get better once the documentary airs, right?
That's how it should be.
Of?
It's me.
Get out.
Should I bring a film crew to meet you?
Didn't you hear me? Go out.
You don't remember that night, do you?
Where are you going?
SEOUL FAMILY COURT
I've signed it.
I won't sue.
Dear.
My feet hurt so much.
Get me my shoes.
Okay.
Wait here a moment.
I was so worried because you disappeared.
Looks like you drank a lot.
Wait, have the symptoms started?
If you don't remember meeting me,
there's no way it's just because of the alcohol.
I'm sure you remember this.
If symptoms start to appear,
you will step down from the podium.
What does it mean...
will this be your last concert?
I have to bring you flowers.
The National Forensic Agency called. That's his.
The fingerprint on the folding knife belongs to Kim Bongju.
What about the blood?
It was not her blood, but the blood of a woman with type B blood.
No. Seem.
What does it mean...
will this be your last concert?
Why did you kill me?
Seem...
Monster.
Seem!
With...
This is how fate comes to us.
Unavoidable.
So cruel.
Sometimes it feels heavy
And gloomy
Fate that prevents me lurks
Like a shadow
Staring coldly
MAESTRA: STRINGS OF TRUTH
What if you forget again? Like that night.
- You're leaving Hanphil? - I will go.
- Sorry. - Can't.
You can't throw it all away!
I can't afford to lose everything.
Open the door now. There are patients missing.
He can't be alone.
You said, "Together."
What can I do to make Seeum better?
Seem!
Can't you see I'm trying hard?
I want to live too.
But there's no other way.
