Gun Woo takes this news calmly, and tells Kang that his teacher ahem — Kang is more important than Ru Mi. All the slashers who perked up, raise your hands, lol. Aww, the boy is so sweet. I want to be like him when I grow up! Ru Mi comes, and receives a warm welcome from everyone except the newbies and Hee Yun. Things are awkward, as neither the nephew nor the aunt will talk to her like they used to. In the midst of all this awkwardness, Park runs in with the news that they are not qualified to register in the festival.
They petition the registration office in person, but are turned out because the rest of the competitors are of such high caliber it would be pointless to pitch a beginner orchestra against them. JGS is getting really good at angsting silently. This is apparently a useful skill in kdrama. I go for the glass-half-full approach and want to point out how much time and care Kang went through for them, to find the piece best suited to their limited members, and then notating all the necessary nuances.
The auditions for a piano soloist goes badly until the last moment, when a middle-aged woman on crutches walks in. Her warm-up consists of poking at the keys, but then she astounds everyone with her skill.
She actually is a famous Korean pianist in real life. As it happens, Kang was the one who asked her to go and help junior. She praises his sharp ear and unerring sense for classical music while Kang goes all smiley at hearing his student being complimented.
Still, he swears the pianist to secrecy. In secret, because they know how proud he is. The Irregulars play at a restaurant, a business arrangement courtesy of Bae. A flaming row ensues. Just to make things worse, Kang throws money at them all. They go back to the warehouse, where the girls annoy Hee Yun by excessive gossiping and Park takes Gun Woo to task for not accepting money.
On the other side of the city, Ru Mi confronts Kang in his office for being way too harsh, and tells him that Gun Woo did this all for him. The formal orchestra ends practice early, and an annoyed Kang Mae finds Kim Gab Yong wandering around. The others all agree to humour Kim as long as they can, with Yi Deun fighting all the way.
Here, Kang shows his nicer side as he spins a story for Kim, and reassures the old man over and over that he is where he should be. And this is the guy who told Gun Woo to learn how to be cruel. Bae, Yi Deun and the undersecretary drive Kim home. When he looks around at the angry or scared musicians, Kang Mae also realizes that this is probably not the best place to say what he wants and calls Junior outside.
True to form, Gun Woo refuses. He cites a difference of style between himself and Kang. The conductor takes this opening to bring up the issue of him playing cool with Ru Mi, and pours salt over his wounds by calling him uselessly proud, competitive, and an ignorant babe.
Wait 'til you watch the next episode! Every challenge is an opportunity for KMM to truly demonstrate his awesome charisma and pull the orchestra through. And you realize KangMae's arrogance is justified and endearing. Has anyone been felt annoyed with Durumi acting? For some reasons I feel a bit annoyed when she's trying so hard to be cute. I mean come on, just being yourself, don't try so hard girl , if you're cute it will show! Yeah, I kind of get annoyed about how Rumi treats Gun Woo I also think I am going to stop watching this drama..
Plus Gun Woo and Rumi make a cute couple! Yeah me too! If she really likes Kang Mae,she should clear it first with Gun Woo! I like Kang Mae for making her to tell that crap in front of Gun Woo..
The Duo Kang Gun Woo are great!!! Man, this episode got me annoyed with DuRuMi, and joni and coco pretty much said what I was thinking. I like Kang Mae, but he is just too clever to be with this bimbo. Yes bimbo. There's something wrong there, and Kang Mae sees right through her leading Gun Woo on like that. Good for him for trying to stop her mindless decisions.
I thought she was more than this in the first few episode, but it's too bad that the main female lead has fallen into this typecast. Kang Mae deserves better and it doesn't have to be RuMi. I don't think Gun Woo and Rumi has the right chemistry either, so the story doesn't need to be romantic, actually, but unfortunately, this is another convention kdrama plot under a different theme. I'm a fan Looking forward for his development in acting career.
The scenery was beautiful.. I wish I was there with a person like KMM.. I just hate Ru Mi, i just don't get why if she liked the conductor gave so many false hopes to JGK, when he obviously liked her.
I don't hate the idea of Ru Mi and the conductor together, what I hate is the way she has been treating Gun Woo, if she liked the coductor why didn't she just said so, instead of playing around whit Gun Woo feelings.

Away from the party, Hee Yun and the violins sisters are comforting Ru Mi. Gun Woo arrives, fresh from his revelation just from looking at Kang, and has a private talk with his soon-to-be ex. There should be a complex named for nice guys who are cast aside for outwardly cold but charismatic dudes — the Prince Yul Complex?
But his gentle personality will guarantee more sacrifice for her in the future, just watch. Kang waits at home deep into the night for Gun Woo to celebrate the concert with him. His already gloomy mood takes a dive when Junior texts to tell him that he needs to meet up with someone from the choir. Lies, all lies! The mayor will sue Ru Mi first no matter what or else his opponent will get the advantage. Relations between Junior and Kang are a little bit awkward, not strained as I feared.
At the hospital, they sit one chair apart and rationally discuss the situation. Wow, I am amazed. Kang is quite considerate towards Gun Woo, who is also careful not to say anything too extreme. Transference, much? Err, Ru Mi jogs around a park trying not to think about Kang — thus succeeding in replaying all of his insults to her in her mind. She lies down on the grass and indulges in a bit of moping.
I just love how actresses can work out, sleep, or cry and still have perfect makeup. While walking Beethoven, Kang sees Ru Mi striding purposefully forward with her bike in hand. As she cycles away, Kang goes all kicked-puppy face at Beethoven, though he tries to hide it.
I love this man! Practice is cut short, for obvious reasons. At home, Kang despairs about the plan to sue Ru Mi. He feels that she will definitely get sent to jail and lose her hearing there. Junior goes to his room and angsts there, while Kang plays on the piano and tries to exorcise his worries through music. Through a night of introspection, Kang has decided to go for extreme confrontation.
Which is 14 times more than the amount Ru Mi was swindled out of. Kang smiles a bit evilly, I think and tells him that the problem has already been solved. Which brings us back to the orchestra — Yi Deun gives grandpa Kim a notebook for his memory exercises, and writes his medical condition, address and her cell phone number on the back.
The room explodes in speculative whispers and dismay, while Gun Woo chases after the secretary. If they receive recognition, then they can come back. The newly fired temporary instrumentalists all mope at a nearby cafe. His actions are mirrored by Gun Woo, who asks at the church they used to practice in but is refused.
When he gets home, Kim, Hee Yun and Bae are waiting for him. Recycling is good, but not this way, writers. After practice, Park calls all of his conducting contacts, but none are available at the moment, or at least not for free. The only free ones are away on Jeju. He yells at Ru Mi for not being able to do anything properly. Gun Woo looks on as she thinks through her probable confession to the mayor, and her dramatic side reasserts itself as she thinks of the possibility of being jailed.
In order to raise enough money to pay for all the costs so far, Ru Mi decides to sell her violin. Aw, so cute! Gun Woo sits beside her on the swings and feels bad. He stands up, decision made, and promises to help her with the orchestra — first stop, earn some money. The next day finds them in a shopping centre, busking for money to a very appreciative crowd.
It turns into something of a one-upping contest. Then they begin to harmonize with one another. Yay for having fun! How egocentric can you get? He puts eye-covers on and takes a pill with his eyes covered?
Beethoven, being a curious doggie, eats the pills. Bad dog! Her plan: to play violin for an entire night. Kang wakes up in the middle of the night and changes the song selection, only to notice his dog lying unconscious on the floor, having consumed an entire bottle of sleeping pills.
He performs frantic CPR, but a whole bottle of sleeping pills, dude! Kang phones emergency services, not realizing that… he needs to call a vet instead. He sits down and relives angsty moments in his life — getting into a fight with his girlfriend and breaking up.
Then he met Beethoven. It was love at first sight. Gun Woo and Ru Mi come home to hear him howling in pain — and they ring the doorbell cautiously, only to be roped into rescuing Beethoven. Ru Mi runs around helping Kang, while Gun Woo stands aloof. Minus points for Gun Woo for showing no sympathy for furry cute animals in distress. She leaves Kang behind, rather strategically, in case they refuse to treat Beethoven because of him.
More minus points for Gun Woo, who uses Beethoven to force Kang into agreeing. Back home, Kang refuses to honour his agreement. Did he just make a joke? He agrees. Task 1: use a mini-scythe to cut the grass, in the glaring sun. Laughing with her, Gun Woo gets a towel for her to dry off with. When he helps her out, the two end up accidentally hugging. Sparks fly, clouds part, angels sing, bla bla bla. They discover feelings for each other. I do love the attention to detail in that Ru Mi is still dripping used laundry water.
Awkwardness ensues when Kang comes out to walk Beethoven, and overturns all the laundry Ru Mi did. This time, he specifies that Gun Woo has to do it alone. The grandpa oboist tries to talk to Yi Deun the flautist, who brandishes her flute at him, warning him to stay away.
Omg, his smile is scarier than his frown. He starts the practice with an unusually nice intro and a semi-apology for his behaviour on the previous night. He sits down, reads the newspaper, and tells the orchestra to continue practicing. He walks his dog, grooms him, reads, and, on one notable occasion, falls asleep. Cellist Hee Yun and not ajumma!
Kang walks off with Beethoven. Well, good on Gun Woo for holding the orchestra together. He nominates Mr. Kim the oboist as the orchestra liaison and starts everyone off on practice again yay for experience as traffic director, lol.
However, as everyone joins in with gusto, Gun Woo senses something off. He stops everyone and asks if they hear something off, but no one gets it. Ru Mi points out that everyone is trying really hard, and asks him to give them a chance. Kang is just earning all the harsh points here — he dismisses the members as people who have no skill yet still want to perform. Kang: Classical music has always been performed for the nobility.
