In 1685, Bach, known as the Father of Music,
was born in Eisenach, Thuringia in Germany.
In 1756, the music prodigy Mozart
was born in Salzburg, Austria.
In 1810, Chopin, called the Poet of the Piano,
was born in Warsaw, Poland.
And…
In 1997, at an obstetrical clinic in Cheongdam-dong, Korea,
I, Gu Ra-ra the Piano Fairy, was born.
1997, WHEN RA-RA WAS 6 MONTHS OLD
My mother passed away a few days after giving birth to me.
My father missed her, so he would leave
her favorite classical music radio on.
Mistakenly believing my frowns
were due to a rich musical sensibility…
This is a gift from God.
-my dad pushed me into the world of piano. -Ra-ra.
She was born with musical talent.
Please help her become an internationally acclaimed pianist.
My piano teacher, Ms. Gong Mi-suk, knew I'd never become such a pianist
within just a minute into the first lesson. But at the time…
Ms. Gong, please. Just a second.
Ms. Gong was struggling financially.
Enticed by my dad's wealth,
she made the big mistake of deciding to teach me.
Ra-ra.
In the upcoming competition, you'll play
the 12 variations in C major
on "Ah vous dirai-je, Maman"
by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
It's actually a French folk song.
It's about a teenage girl
telling her mother that she's in love with someone.
It's a love song.
So…
Ra-ra.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
You know this song, right?
At my first piano competition, I played
Mozart's variation on "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star."
I was so nervous, I blanked out the next part.
So I kept playing do, do, sol, sol, la, la, sol
over and over again.
JUDGES
And in my moment of despair…
my dad's voice rang out, telling me that it's okay to make mistakes
and that I did a great job. It brightened my heart like a ray of light.
After that day, I always thought of my dad when I played the piano.
Keep it light.
As if you're dancing.
You think that's music? That's noise!
There were countless moments when I wanted to quit.
But the memory of my dad on that day
always got me back in front of the piano again.
At my long-awaited graduation recital…
Gosh, she drives me nuts.
That song was dedicated
to only one person, my dad.
LIKES
EPISODE 1 DO DO SOL SOL LA LA SOL
Gu Ra-ra, do you really have to do this?
Ms. Gong, I only learned piano all these years
to play that song for my dad at my graduation recital.
Now I've done that so I'm done!
Finished!
You've studied piano for 20 years.
And that was your only goal? That's it?
I'm at a loss for words because I'm so flustered and embarrassed!
Look at you talking my ear off.
Ms. Gong, we all have different dreams and aspirations.
So? What's your point?
In this era of diversity,
please don't undermine my goals.
Why you little…
You're moving to Germany anyway.
That's--
What's wrong with you?
Teaching me must've been stressful, right?
Goodness.
At least you know.
You'll miss me when you're in Germany, but don't be too sad!
I'm so happy I won't have to see you again.
I love you!
Do that to your boyfriend.
So? What do you want to do now?
Mimi, go!
I'd like three stars on each nail.
So 30 in total.
Isn't that too much?
I've always wanted to but couldn't.
-Why not? -Because I had to play the piano.
I got it done once, and my piano teacher hit me.
I see.
So you don't play anymore?
That's right. I quit.
Right, Mimi?
EVERYDAY YOLO
MIMI AND I HAVING A SWEET AND HAPPY MOMENT
LIVE, CREATE, STORY, BOOMERANG
You've been coming home late.
Did you come back early because of the first snowfall?
Drink while it's warm.
-Here. -Great.
The ginger tea you make is the best.
What's wrong? Did something happen?
You seem troubled.
No, everything is fine.
I'm just tired. That's all.
-Ra-ra. -Yes?
Do you want to get married?
What? To who?
RA-RA'S FIANCE BANG JEONG-NAM
Man.
Eun-seok must be raking in the cash.
RANKED NO. 1
Eun-seok.
Hey, you're here.
You have so many patients.
Dr. Cha, you're such an amazing doctor.
Cut the bullshit.
What are you looking at?
The cherry blossoms.
"Blossoms"?
Jeong-nam, do you know the sequence
of blooms in spring?
No, not really.
When spring comes,
forsythias bloom first.
And when the forsythias start to wither, magnolias bloom.
Then when the magnolias wither, cherry blossoms bloom.
By the time the cherry blossoms wither and drop,
the lilacs are in full bloom.
And when the lilacs wither, acacia flowers bloom.
Then the mountain breeze carries the aroma of the flowers…
Eun-seok.
Are you okay?
I guess you're saying weird stuff because you're hungry.
Here, eat this.
Why are you talking about flowers?
Didn't you see the line outside?
Thanks for this.
By the way, what brings you by?
I'm getting married.
Ra-ra,
what about these?
Ms. Im, you look
like a loan shark.
You have a very pointy chin, so you should stay away
from designs like that.
Let's see.
What about these? Try these on.
You guys are sure that you can move into Seocho Ramiang next spring, right?
Yes, I think so.
The Wirye Clinic building is four stories.
That building have seven stories?
-I think so. -Hey.
-Yes? -Do you even know anything?
The wedding is soon.
I need to know these things to come up with a schedule.
I'll ask my dad later.
You're right. These are nice. I'll get these.
I'll pay for this.
The beauty products we bought earlier were 720,000 won.
The sunglasses that I bought and this one come to 680,000 won together.
So, we spent 1.5 million won?
Ms. Im! It means that we can get the promo gift.
We've only spent 1.4 million won.
No, we didn't.
Well, 72 plus 68 is… And 8, 2, 1…
You can't even do simple math?
Ms. Im.
I heard even Beethoven struggled with math all his life.
These are so pretty.
I'm speechless.
Does she think she's Beethoven or Mozart?
How dare she always compare herself to such legendary musical geniuses?
She quit piano, and she's jobless now.
Your father-in-law will finance your new clinic?
To tell you the truth, you were always my role model.
And now, I can live like you do.
-I'm getting a divorce. -I see. A divorce…
Eun-seok. Why?
Because I want to quit working here.
By any chance,
are you terminally ill?
-Yes. -What?
Yes.
INVITATION BANG JEONG-NAM, GU RA-RA
What? "Gu Ra-ra"?
"Gu Ra-ra"?
Why didn't you say goodbye?
I wanted to ask the same thing.
Thank you.
Good job today.
Can you cover the shifts until next week?
That young man is such a good worker, and he never slacks off.
I really like him.
FLEA MARKET
-My gosh. -Are you all right?
-Sorry. -I'm sorry.
Gosh! What are you going to do about this?
-What am I supposed to do? -It wasn't on purpose.
You ruined my day!
Darn it. The wedding will begin shortly.
Excuse me.
Wait, can you do me a favor?
This has to be dropped off at that hotel over there.
Can you do it for me?
Make a left at that intersection over there.
The other flowers were delivered,
but they forgot this. That's why I'm doing a rush delivery.
The bride might walk without a bouquet.
Damn it. What do I do?
Jeez, nothing is going my way today.
Thank you. Thank you so much!
-My gosh! -You look gorgeous.
My boyfriend.
-Oh, my goodness. -Thank you.
-All the best. -Thank you.
-My gosh, ma'am. -Hello.
Congratulations.
My husband couldn't make it because he's still in the US.
I know you're busy. Thank you very much for coming.
You're like our family. Of course, I should be here.
Gosh, ma'am. You really don't have to do this.
-My goodness. -It's my pleasure.
Dr. Bang, you look very cool today.
And the bride
is very beautiful.
Thank you.
Are you that happy?
It really is her.
-Ra-ra. -Hey.
They said they sent the bouquet.
-And my dad isn't here yet either? -No.
Min-ju, can you get my phone from my bag?
Here.
Why isn't he picking up?
I'll bring the bouquet when it arrives.
Try to smile a little.
The bride should look happy.
Good. I'm not too late.
Don't come closer! Stop. Stop right there.
You can just leave it on that chair over there.
-I don't want to. -What?
It's not because I think you look filthy. I'm just scared!
-Oh, no! -Why are you so startled? You hit me.
-Your nose is bleeding. -What?
Darn it.
No!
My wedding is about to begin.
What is this? What's your problem?
My dad isn't even here yet,
and I have blood on my dress.
Nothing's going my way.
Don't cry. Hold it.
Just swallow your tears!
You want to ruin your makeup and end up like me?
Okay, so don't cry.
Hey, where are you going?
What do I do?
-Can I help you? -I'll bring this back.
By the way, why are you speaking casually to me?
-What about you? -You started it.
I did?
I wonder why.
Because you look young, I guess?
-How old are you? -I'm 24.
We're the same age.
I'm sorry for speaking so casually to you. And for hitting you.
It's okay. We'll never see each other again anyway.
Can we go faster?
Did I leave my phone in the office?
Use mine, sir.
-Hey, Ra-ra. -Dad!
I'm sorry to keep you waiting so long.
I'll be there soon, so don't worry.
You just get ready.
Okay, I was so worried.
-Ra-ra. -Yes?
I love you very much.
Come on, Dad. Now's not the time for that.
Just hurry up.
I'm saying it now since I might forget when I arrive.
-Ra-ra! -Dad, I have to go. Hurry, okay?
Oh, the bouquet's here.
-Your dad? Where is he? -He's almost here.
We'll escort you to the hall if you've already spoken to your father.
-Okay. -Let's begin.
Thank you.
Bye.
No.
-We should get going. -We're escorting the bride now.
We gather here today to celebrate the wedding of Bang Jeong-nam and Gu Ra-ra.
We will begin the ceremony now.
The groom may enter.
He's finally getting married!
Bang Jeong-nam!
The bride will now enter.
-Oh, my. -Here comes the bride.
The ceremony has begun. How come her father isn't here yet?
I heard he's the chairman of Rara Cosmetics.
I heard the company isn't doing well, though.
Rumors have been going around for a while.
Come on. Don't you know how Im Ja-gyeong is?
I'm sure she did her research before deciding to marry off her dear son.
Her dad financed their apartment, new car, and his clinic.
Okay. Just a moment.
Sir.
It's Mr. Kang.
Hello, Mr. Kang.
Just this once. Can you help me out just this one time?
I'm sorry, sir.
-Sir. -Ra-ra…
-My gosh!
-Sir! -What happened?
Ja-gyeong!
Ja-gyeong.
What? Are you serious?
Yes.
My goodness. How…
CLINIC, APARTMENT, BENTZ
DEBT
-Come here. -Mom.
Mom!
Ra-ra! Your father collapsed.
Hurry! The ambulance is here.
What?
-Oh, no. -My gosh.
One, two, three. Clear!
-200 joules! -Got it, 200 joules.
Step back.
One, two, three. Clear!
-Charge to 300 joules. -Got it, 300 joules.
May 2, 2020, 4:32 p.m.
Mr. Gu Man-su
has passed away.
Dad.
Open your eyes, Dad.
In the morning, you said that you wanted to see me in my wedding dress.
Dad, you didn't even get to see me in this dress.
Dad.
Just a while ago, you said you loved me
and that I'd see you soon. Dad, please…
You said you love me. How could you do this to me?
How could this happen? Dad!
Dad…
DEEPEST CONDOLENCES
I know you're devastated, but please listen carefully.
Business has been bad for quite some time.
Even the house has already been auctioned off.
Ms. Gu.
The creditors are after you now, so you shouldn't be here.
I'll hold a funeral for him and bury him next to your late mother.
You can visit his grave after things quiet down.
What? I can't even go to his funeral?
You must lie low
until I get all the legal matters sorted out. Okay?
And take this.
It's not much,
but you should get a place to stay with that money.
Thankfully, your car wasn't seized because it was at the hotel,
so you can use your car.
Thank you for everything.
Take good care of yourself, okay?
Okay.
SEIZED
Mimi,
you must've been so scared.
You were hiding there all this time?
It's just us two now.
We'll be okay, right?
Right?
I understand it was urgent,
but how could she just run away? He was about to get married.
The father collapsed.
The bride even ran out in her wedding dress.
Is she going to be okay?
That woman.
FULLY FURNISHED LUXURY STUDIO 24-HOUR STAFF
May I help you?
This guy lives here, right?
What's his room number?
You little punk.
Room 306.
Farewell,Dad.
Goodbye.
CITY OF DREAMS AND ROMANCE LOVELY EUNPO CITY
The divorce papers.
Please hand them in.
Where will you go?
To your father's place?
I'll take care of that.
Have a good life.
Don't worry about me. I'm already elated as is.
It'll be the end if you leave right now.
Are you sure you won't regret giving up on both the hospital and me?
Let's not go around in circles.
I'm really fine.
Look at you pretending not to care about the money.
Get lost.
Your cocky attitude disgusts me.
MY WIFE RA-RA
Jeong-nam.
"My Wife Ra-ra"?
What wife? Your wedding was called off a long time ago.
Blocked.
This is exactly why I dragged you here.
Didn't I tell you that pitying others is the most useless thing in the world?
In order to become successful,
you need to learn when to let go.
You need to be cold-hearted to succeed.
Answer me.
Fine, I got it.
Mr. Bang is on vacation.
Did he go on our honeymoon without me?
The deposit is 5 million won, and the rent is 400,000 won.
I see.
So I need to pay 400,000 won every month?
-Correct. -Then if I were to pay a lump sum,
I'd only have to pay once instead of every month?
What's that? You want to pay a lump sum?
I do.
This place was built last year.
What do you say? Excellent, right?
Yes, it's much better than the previous one.
Of course. A place like this is rare.
You won't find another place like this
for a lump sum of just 100 million won.
If you don't take it, someone else will in no time.
Let's see. There are four other people scheduled to see this room today.
I'll take it.
LEASE AGREEMENT
You hit the jackpot today.
Today's your lucky day.
Right.
How will you pay the deposit and the balance?
100 million won.
My goodness. You had this much in cash?
You're really amazing.
Mimi, are you exhausted?
Moving is no joke.
Should we take a photo in our new home?
What?
"Do you want to come here if you're lonely?"
Who is this? I don't know this handle.
Where is this place?
"Dodosolsollalasol"?
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
"Twinkle, twinkle, little star"?
Do they know me?
No, they could be a real weirdo.
Yes.
I need a blanket and some curtains. There are many things I need to buy.
Gosh.
Hey, I'm here!
Hey!
Open the door!
What? This is the wrong place.
Goodness, this isn't it.
I'm sorry.
It's a bit scary.
Should we sleep with the lights on?
ONE MONTH LATER
JIN BEAUTY SALON
CUTS, PERMS, BLOW-DRY
Look at you eagerly waiting.
Go to school already, you brat.
I'm graduating soon. I can be a little bit late.
Do well until you graduate. You know better.
I don't.
I just want to graduate quickly
and get married to Jun.
Don't be ridiculous.
It's about time he came out.
Oh, my.
Gosh! Hey!
Jun!
You startled me.
Surprise. Today, it's tuna rice ball.
Thanks.
You don't need to do this.
Jun, wait.
Drop me off at school.
-No. -Why not?
Your school is nearby. Just walk.
But…
Was that such a difficult favor?
Darn it, I'm so irritated.
Hey! Then you shouldn't be so good-looking!
Gosh, I'm so annoyed. Darn it.
Who made her so clingy?
She's my daughter, but she's so humiliating.
Goodness.
They commented again.
"Are you eating well?
Are you sleeping well?
Are you healthy?"
Why are they nagging me so much?
Who could it be?
-Who is-- -Hello, I'm a real estate agent.
We came to see the apartment.
Why would you?
Lady, how can an apartment this nice
only be 100 million won?
The deposit here is 30 million, and the rent is 2 million.
The lump sum is 450 million.
Open this door!
Open the door! God, this is crazy!
-I can't believe this! -I'm so furious!
-I'm enraged! -I even wrote
a contract.
The landlord didn't sign this contract.
We're all going to become homeless.
"Homeless"?
WHY ISN'T SHE LEAVING?
I'M GOING INSANE
HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN?
Detective.
That real estate lady didn't seem like a bad person.
She was very friendly.
She didn't look like a scammer.
Ms. Gu,
a scammer
doesn't advertise that they're a scammer.
I've never been scammed before,
so I didn't know.
We're looking into the case
and searching for that lady right now.
I'll call you immediately if we find her.
For now, you should go home and wait.
Detective.
-Yes? -I've never been homeless before,
so I don't know what to do.
When it came to administrative and legal matters,
and other complicated things, Secretary Moon always took care of them.
Then you can speak with him about this, right?
I'd like to but I can't reach him right now.
You can't reach him?
INTERNATIONAL CALL
-Hello, honey. -Are you home?
Yes. I mean, no. I'm outside right now.
You don't usually call at this hour.
Is something wrong?
I'm flying in next month. Just letting you know.
I see.
Weren't you supposed to be abroad for a year?
You're a few months early.
Things sorted out sooner than I had expected.
I see.
How's Jun? Is he doing well?
Of course, he is.
All right, then. I'll see you next month.
It's me.
-How did it go? -It seems he's gone off the grid.
He changed his phone number as well.
-There are no digital traces- -Hey!
How much have I already paid you
and this is all you can come up with?
Find him this instant!
That brat.
GU MAN-SU, LEE GYEONG-JIN WE LOVE YOU. REST IN PEACE.
I'm back again.
I brought your favorite. Ginger tea.
Aren't you happy to see me?
Aren't I pretty?
Are you happy?
Dad, I'm so stupid.
I got scammed and lost my apartment.
What should I do?
Should I just live here?
In the past, people lived next to their parents' graves for three years.
I could do that, too, right?
I can see the sky from here. It's nice.
Right, Mimi?
What?
Are you hungry? Oh, my. I totally forgot to feed you.
Mimi.
Do you have no energy?
I'm sorry I forgot.
Here.
Is it tasty?
How can you even pretend that tastes good?
Here. You can have it all.
Eat up.
That's nice.
I miss you, Dad.
You were so happy that day.
"Dodosolsollalasol."
What? These are the notes that come at the very beginning
of Mozart's "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star".
This is a secret that only my dad and I know. It can't be…
Secretary Moon's hometown is Busan.
This doesn't look like Busan.
Could it be Ms. Gong?
But she's in Germany right now.
Who could it be?
I'm certain they know my dad.
Where is this?
I'll go see you right now.
Mimi, put on your seat belt.
Eunpo City.
Navigation will begin now.
All right.
Shall we go?
JEOLLANAM-DO, EUNPO CITY
I think we're almost there.
What? Mimi.
Is she not feeling well?
What? Oh, my.
Mimi.
Is she carsick?
Mimi, are you okay?
Mimi…
Hey.
Bye.
We have a 24-year-old TA female patient.
Is she badly injured?
I'm a little worried because she's a pianist.
-What's your relationship to the patient? -Accident victim.
What is going on? The accident victim is looking after her?
Remember when I said, "Bye" and you said, "No"?
I guess what you said was magic. Since we met each other again.
He's still not answering?
Jun didn't run away, did he?
I bet he ran away because it was too much pressure.
