Midnight Sun
Fruit truck guy!
Morning.
What can I get you?
Apples, 10 dollars' worth.
Apples, 10 dollars.
These are lovely.
- Thank you.
- Good luck today.
Bye.
Hey, don't sneak up on others like that.
Others? You say like I'm a stranger to you.
What are you...?
You're spying on him again, creep.
Why don't you go talk to him?
Don't you see the sun?
You can always wear that.
Get outta here.
I'm only venting.
What if he stops coming here?
You don't even know his name or number.
Go and at least try having a word.
Like how?
She's coming!
Misol! Misol, Misol, Misol!
How did it go?
What's his name? His number?
Oh... I forgot to ask that.
Seriously?
I'm really sorry to tell you but
he seems be into the cute types
like me.
What innovative bullshit is that?
Look.
I was watching him
pretending to look at fruits
when he suddenly talked to me:
What's your favorite fruit?
So?
So, I said...
'I like plums' and he goes:
You like pretty fruits like yourself.
He said that?
I know!
Look, I'm really sorry.
Misol, come and have some fruit.
Your mom must be here.
Yes, we are coming.
Hi, Mrs. Lee.
You're here, too.
Here, have some peaches.
Why did you get so many?
There was a fruit truck out front.
The vendor is such a sweetheart.
He asked me what my favorite fruit is.
So, I said peaches and he goes:
You like pretty fruits like yourself.
Right?
Yeah! How do you know that?
You're so gullible.
You should've at least bought some fruits.
But... the nuance was different.
I'll go and wash these.
I guess he didn't just say it to me then.
What fruit did you say?
- Plums.
- Plums?
Hey.
I'm going to ask you for
a breath sample.
What?
You did drink, didn't you?
What are you talking about?
Then, breathe into this.
Are you kidding me?
Breathe out properly.
Out, out, out.
There.
0.05? Give me 30 dollars.
Where's my change?
Sorry I don't have any.
Come on.
I really don't.
Well then, sing a song for me.
Forget it. I'm not singing.
Give you an extra 10, if you sing.
Please, please, please?
Please, please, please?
Well, Just one song, then.
You're such a tease.
Honey, come and hear this.
A round of applause.
We're far away from
each other like this
but I can picture you in my mind
Your image appears
across the night sky
It soaks into my heart,
then disappears
When I was with you
I didn't know
what had become precious to me
All these times with you
I didn't realize
I put my hands together tonight
to pray again
I put my hands together tonight
to pray again
Damn.
Are you crying?
The song reminds me of
when I was dating your mom.
Anyway, darling
it's a waste of talent to sing
only to yourself at home.
You gotta let people hear it.
Forget it. There are tons of
good singers out there.
No no no. Listen to your dad.
If you want, I'll fully support...
I said I'm fine.
I'm going to bed.
Misol, why don't we talk...
Misol.
Stop it, stop it!
What are you doing, honey?
I'm in bed.
Good night.
Thanks, you too.
Hi, fruit truck guy!
Hello.
I haven't seen you in a while.
Been busy at home.
What can I get you?
- Some peaches?
- Peaches.
- 10 dollars' worth.
- Coming right up.
Here.
- Have a good one.
- You too, ma'am.
Hey... hey!
Fruit truck man!
Are you okay?
Can I get some... apples, please?
Here you go.
You must really like apples.
People say your apples are the best.
You didn't have to run like that.
I'm coming back tomorrow.
I can't during the day.
Because of work.
I see.
I'm sorry to ask but
I really want to buy fruits from you.
Can you come during the night at all?
I'm afraid I have other rounds to do
in the evening.
I'm sorry.
I'll see you around.
Give me a call if you need something.
I'll try to come when I can.
Thank you.
You got his number?
Yep.
I didn't know you had it in you, girl.
What do I do now?
Shall I just confess my feelings?
Nonsense. To scare him away with
your forever alone aura?
You gotta play him.
Play hard to get.
What?
Drive him crazy with your charms.
My charms...
Let me see.
Okay! Let's start with your hair style.
You gonna do it yourself?
Leave it to me.
I'll give you the coolest makeover.
Come here.
Hey hey!
Here we go.
Close your eyes or
the hair will get in them.
Are you done?
Can I open them now?
One sec... this is a historical moment.
So count to three, then open.
Okay.
One.
Two.
Bye, Mrs. Lee.
I won't be coming for a while.
What?
Three.
Cho Okkyung!!!
Thank you for waiting.
Here.
Thank you.
Here's your money.
Enjoy your apples.
Hey...
If you don't mind...
Would you like this?
I made some for you
for your hard work.
That's not necessary
but thank you.
You must be a big fan.
Excuse me?
The apples.
You bought a lot the other day.
Oh, yes!
They're so good.
Organic and all.
They're not organic.
Who cares?
As long as they taste good.
Not bad. Not bad at all.
When did you start with the fruit truck?
Why do you ask?
There was another truck before
in this neighborhood.
You mean, my dad?
My dad was doing it before he got sick.
I'm filling in temporarily.
This isn't what I do normally.
Then, what do you do?
What do you think?
Maybe you can tell
if you look at my face.
I can't.
It's a giveaway.
Take a good look.
An athlete?
No. Try again.
Are you by any chance...
a thug?
You don't have an eye for people.
I'm sorry.
No need to apologize.
You'll find out soon enough.
What do you do for a living?
Me? I...
Let me guess.
First, give me your hand.
My hand?
Hands tell a lot about who you are.
You have soft hands,
so no tough work...
Can I touch it?
Just very slightly?
Huh?
Is that Misol?
Who's that jerk fondling
my daughter's hand?
What are you doing here?
Mr. Lee, trust me you don't
want to interrupt her now.
Or it'll be a bloodbath.
- What are you talking about?
- Come on, Mr. Lee. Come with me.
You have a callus on tips
of your left fingers
and long nails on your right fingers.
This can only mean
you play the guitar.
Yes!
And you can project your voice
far enough to stop my truck.
So you're a singer who plays the guitar.
Correct.
Right? Right?
Didn't you say you had a day job?
At a talent agency.
Are you really preparing
to launch your career?
What genre?
A singer-songwriter?
Something like that.
Wow, I love that kind of music!
Kim Gwang-suk, Kim Hyun-chul,
Jason Mraz, Nora Jones, and... Ed Sheeran!
They're my favorite singers too.
Really?
That's really admirable.
What is?
People don't do that kind of music anymore.
Not if you want to get rich.
It's not for money.
You do what you like.
That's what I believe in too.
Doing what I love till I die.
We're like-minded, you and I.
We haven't even exchanged names yet.
I'm Kim Minjun.
I'm Lee Misol.
Good to meet you, Misol.
Misol.
Are you there?
Or not?
Where did she go?
I'm dying to hear about last night.
You are?
But first things first.
We have a score to settle.
You ruthless.
Move on.
Just tell me what to do.
You already know the answer.
He said he likes singer-songwriters.
So sing for him. Simple.
But how?
I can't just start singing randomly.
Use your head and somehow set the mood
where it's natural to sing.
Like a natural atmosphere?
Misol?
Hey you.
What are you doing here?
I come out for air...
to sing sometimes.
I see.
Why? Is it weird?
No. I suppose you can do that.
Here.
Thank you.
Here.
Thanks.
You know...
Why don't you sit with me?
You came all the way here.
Okay.
Take a seat here.
Can you sing something?
Since we're here, maybe?
That's so random!
I really don't know what to do...
but, is there any specific song you'd like?
Huh?
Whatever you sing well.
I can sing most songs quite well.
What should I sing...
You're a songwriter.
Do you have your own songs?
Singing your own songs is the best.
I do have my own songs
but I've never sung it to anyone before.
Even better. Let me hear it.
I'll tell you how it is.
You can't laugh though.
At the day's end so does begin
my dark morning
With no one to meet,
I wander the empty street
and every night
wishing on a miracle
For a reason to not feel lonely
because I have nothing
to miss being with
Yellow day, please
Wash me down with your warm rays
Help me to get closer
to where I can't reach
Yellow day, please
Tell me the scent of sunshine
with your eyes
that resemble the sun
Yellow day, please
wash me down with your warm rays
Help me to get closer
to where I can't reach
Yellow day, please
tell me the scent of sunshine
with your eyes
that resemble the sun
What do you think?
I love it!
Really?
You're actually very talented.
No, I'm more of the visual type.
Do you have another song?
Let me hear more.
- Shall I?
- Yes.
But...
Isn't it a little unfair?
What is?
I'm singing all these songs
and you're just listening.
Ah, am I being brazen?
No, that's not it
but it'd be nice
if there are takes after gives...
Fine. I'll treat you to a movie.
- A movie?
- Sure.
Are you free the day after tomorrow
in the evening?
I'm quite busy
but I'd like that.
Sing me another song.
Shall I?
Let's see...
He must be a player.
You think?
Of course! He got you to fall
head over heels for him within 3 days.
And he's taking you out
to a drive-in theater?
It can only mean one thing.
Taking it to the next level.
No, it can't be...
Oh yes. Tomorrow,
you'll have your first kiss.
Oh no! What should I do?
What do you mean 'what'?
The kiss.
You know how to do it.
You've done it before.
Of course.
Until my lips got ragged.
Even my front tooth is loose.
How is it done?
Tell me everything.
You can't really explain how it's done.
You'll know what to do
when it happens.
What if I make a mistake?
I need to practice.
Practice?
Come here.
Hey! Come to your senses.
It's me, Okkyung.
Girls, have some...
Mom.
Mrs. Lee, I can explain.
It's okay. I understand.
Mom! Mom! Mom!
It's not like that.
Mom!
I almost had my first kiss with her.
Here's your coke.
Go where?
To the drive-in theater.
On a date with the fruit truck boy.
Oh God...
Should I report it to the police?
How can you be sitting around like this?
What can I do about our 20-year-old
daughter going on a date?
You can't be so allowing with her
even if she's unwell.
Honey, Misol is at her most
beautiful and passionate age.
Don't you see?
You've grown balls, boy.
To think about stabbing me in the back.
You've really grown.
I think it's you who's grown old.
Too old to notice
a knife coming from behind.
Are you willing to take it this far?
That's for you to decide, not me.
Because it's you standing
on the edge of the cliff now.
It'll take just a nudge from a finger
to tip you over.
You piece of shit.
There! There!
Look, there!
Behind the main guy.
Bit blurry, but you can see.
Better not take too long.
My boys are quite impatient.
Did you see that?
Now you know what I do.
Do I feel like a different person now?
I'll be a household name soon.
Watch me.
Doesn't this feel like fate?
How we met?
Fate?
An aspiring singer meets
an aspiring actor by mere chance.
If you put it that way.
Think about it.
How great it'd be if we're still
best friends when we are top stars
10 or 20 years on.
Oh, what's the matter?
What?
What is it?
Not so sure about yourself?
It's not that.
Have confidence that
you'll make your dream come true.
I'm sorry but can we not
talk about the future?
I can barely think about the present.
But you gotta look to the future.
Imagine...
I should go.
What, suddenly?
You're home.
What are you doing out?
Getting some air.
You don't look like someone
coming back from a date.
How do you know about that?
Your mom told me.
Did she?
You're a big girl, so I won't
lecture you about dating
but did you tell him?
I understand how you feel
but you still gotta tell him.
Or it'll weigh down on you
both you and him.
I'll handle it.
Did I say something wrong?
I don't get it.
Are you free tonight?
Allow me.
You wanted a drink suddenly?
That's what you do when you have
something important to say.
I have something to tell you.
What would that be?
So, I...
What I want to say is that...
Have a drink, Minjun.
Come on.
Wait.
You said you had something
you want to tell me.
You're right.
I had something important to say.
What was it?
Oh I remember.
Why didn't you say that to me?
What?
When I bought apples for the first time.
You like pretty fruits like yourself.
Why didn't you say that to me?
Oh that's...
Actually, that's a sales pitch.
5 minutes to sunrise
Minjun.
Wake up, Minjun.
Minjun!
Hey, are you up?
What's wrong?
I gotta go home now.
Give me a minute to sober up.
I gotta get home now!
What's wrong?
Misol! Get back in.
Misol, wait!
Misol! Misol!
Hey, are you okay?
Tell me, Misol.
Hey! Where is she?
She just went inside.
You bastard, are you trying to
kill my daughter?
No, sir! I just...
Misol.
Misol, are you okay?
I don't see any other symptoms
that may trigger the condition.
But you must be very careful, okay?
Yes, doctor.
The person you're
calling is not responding...
Mr. Lee, someone here for you.
Stop fidgeting with your food.
Here. Eat up.
Darling, please eat something
for your medicine,
even if you don't feel like it.
Here it goes.
It must be dad.
- Is that you, honey?
- Yeah.
Did you drink again?
I got a good drinking buddy,
so of course.
A drinking buddy?
And I brought him home
to introduce you.
Come on in.
Here.
This is Misol's mom.
Nice to meet you, ma'am.
Where are you going?
Your friend is here.
Dig in.
Yes, sir.
Where is Misol?
She won't open her door.
Cold-hearted bitch.
I should get back now.
I'm sorry for troubling you.
Don't say that.
Come again for supper next time.
Thank you.
- Good night then.
- Good night.
Hey, wait.
I guess dad told you everything.
That's right.
I lied to you about everything.
But it wasn't on purpose.
It so happened...
I'm sorry anyway. I really am.
I said my apologies.
So I'll get going then.
You can't just say what you want
and walk away.
There's something I kept from you.
Really?
What is it?
I'm sorry.
I've been wanting to get that.
That?
Open up.
It's good.
Good, right?
It's so good.
You okay?
I'm okay.
It won't kill me.
That's an electric guitar.
So cool.
It's beautiful.
- Let's get outta here.
- Why?
- Come on.
- Why?
Come on.
You're getting back to college next spring?
Yeah, I wanted to save up
money and take auditions.
And to look after dad, too.
That's amazing.
Nothing amazing about that.
There are kids like me
who's always a burden.
Don't be stupid.
Stop it.
We'll be late. Come on.
Let's sit here.
It's cool, right?
You'd be awesome
if you perform like them.
I'm not cut out for that.
After a few shows, you'll be all the rage
on YouTube and Instagram.
That sounds dreamy but
the idea scares me too.
Why?
If people take interest in my music,
they'll find out about me.
Then, it'll be a matter of time before
they find out about my condition.
Then that's all they'll care about,
my disease, not my music.
It's always been like that.
Then how about this?
Create your own channel
Sunflower's attic.
Done.
Hi, I'm an absolute music lover
and passionate about singing...
Passionate? Seriously?
Ha... Again.
Hi, I'm a singer-song writer who
loves to write and sing...
So cringy. Singer-song writer?
Don't worry about anything else.
Just focus on the song.
If you sing from what you feel,
people will love it too.
If I were your eyes,
I would blur out
everything you see except for me
If I were your ears,
I would filter out any mean words
that pass around you
If I were your lips,
I would make me your first kiss
not that other girl
If I were your heart,
I would run at my fastest
to make myself become your first love
Now, I will see it.
Misol, check this out.
I just discovered your music
and absolutely love it!
Sunflower, your music
reminds me of my first love.
Told you!
I knew they'd love it.
I've already fallen for your song.
What a melting voice.
The song is so good.
Such a great talent.
Must've got it from her father.
Sunflower says:
No, she got it from her mother!
Wow, nice.
Bye.
New song
Thank you so much!
Please look forward to the upcoming songs!
100,000!
100,000 subscribers!
- 100,000!
- 100,000!
Let me join!
Congrats! 100,000!
Congratulations, congratulations
on getting 100,000 subscribers
- I'm really happy for you.
- Thank you.
I owe it all to you.
Don't say that.
I didn't do anything.
Without you, I'd have no courage.
You flatter me.
To continue with the good vibe...
Wait.
Here.
What's this?
Open it.
This is...
Do you like it?
Of course.
But this must've cost a fortune.
I am the top fruit seller
of the town.
But still...
If you're so grateful,
please play a song for me.
What do you want?
The new song.
I love that song.
That one? Okay.
I don't know
How in a blink of an eye
It suddenly felt like
we were alone in a tiny room
I don't know
why I love this feeling
that everything is watching us
Shall we now... fall in love
Let me check it.
Adore her heavenly voice and emotions.
LEGEND. Can't stop listening!
I think I know who Sunflower is!
Finally revealing her face??
CHURCH
That church on her window
is in Dangjin.
I can see it from my school, too.
There is a house with
blue-tinted windows like hers.
I heard the girl who lives there
will die if she sees sunlight.
Like Dracula?
Burn in the sunlight? LOL
OMG. Is she dying? Lol
A real-life vampire.
I'll kill them all!
Where are you going, Misol?
To see Minjun.
It's late. Why don't you stay?
I'll be right back.
Misol.
Yeah?
You okay, baby?
What are you talking about?
Be right back.
You okay?
I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry?
Feels like it's all my fault.
Don't worry about it.
Still, those trolls...
Shall we report them to the police?
Are you worried I might kill myself?
I've got something worse
which hasn't killed me yet.
I want to live quietly for now.
Hi, I'm Sunflower...
No, my name is Lee Misol.
I'm a singer.
You've shown a lot of interest
in me the past few days.
As you speculated,
I'm suffering from a rare condition
called XP syndrome.
But I didn't start this channel
as a patient.
As a music lover, I wanted
to share and enjoy my music
and that will never change
because...
Hi! My name is Min Jiyoung.
I'm a huge fan of your music.
And I also have XP syndrome.
I read that you might have
the same condition as me
which I hope isn't true
but if it is
I would like to thank you.
I thought you couldn't do anything
if you have this condition.
But now, I have hope
that maybe I can do something.
I want to find it from now on,
what I want to do, what I can do.
Because
people who have difficulties like me
can have hope through my music.
So from now, I'm going to
stand tall and sing in front of you.
Please give me support and encouragement.
Is this it? It's so cool.
Will people show up?
You put up the notice properly, right?
Wait a moment.
We still have time.
- Let's start setting up.
- Okay.
All done?
What else do we need?
Music stand and speakers.
Let's go.
- Hi, Misol.
- Hi.
Do you know me?
Of course. We're huge fans.
We even covered some of your songs.
What?
We play music, too, as a band.
So, we thought...
maybe we can back you up
for today's busking.
Wow, I would really love that.
Yeah?
Can you do this?
Go get them!
Don't be nervous.
Just be yourself.
Okay.
Hello, I'm Lee Misol, a singer.
Thank you for being here
at my first-ever busking gig.
I'll start off with my song,
Yellow Day.
At the day's end so does begin
my dark morning
With no one to meet,
I wander the empty street
and every night
wishing on a miracle
For a reason to not feel lonely
because I have nothing
to miss being with
Yellow day, please
wash me down with your warm rays
Help me to get closer
to where I can't reach
Yellow day, please
tell me the scent of sunshine
Go, Misol! with your
eyes that resemble the sun
On my heart
shrouded within clouds
On my heart that knows
no spring, no warmth, no wind
Green shoots have sprouted
So maybe it's a world you can
live without the sun
Yellow day, please
wash me down with your warm rays
Help me to get closer
to where I can't reach
Yellow day, please
tell me the scent of sunshine
with your eyes
that resemble the sun
My heart's still pounding.
Look.
Hey! Don't do that suddenly.
It doesn't matter. Look.
My god, it matters!
64 dollars, right?
Yes, ma'am.
- Here.
- Thank you.
What's going on?
You're beaming these days.
Are you dating someone?
It's not like that.
- Are you free tomorrow night?
- Wanna do something?
Been wanting to go here.
Okay!
I'll make the reservation.
Look at you smile.
You should give some attention
to your channel, too.
Why do you say that?
Fans are moaning about when
a new song will be released.
A new song?
Yeah.
Wait.
Listen to this.
What is it?
I was stuck on it for so long
until I started again recently.
What's it called?
Star bits
Star bits...
Alright, I'm feeling it.
Go on, let me hear it.
Why did you stop?
I was getting into it.
You don't make mistakes like that.
I'll start again.
What's the matter with you?
Something wrong with the guitar?
I need the bathroom.
Everything's fine, right?
Well...
Will you give us a room, Misol?
No. I'll stay.
Come on, darling.
Come with mom.
No, mom.
I wanna hear it, too.
Doctor, please continue.
Misol, come out and talk to me.
Misol!
It seems that
the disease has started progressing.
Paralysis will set in
as your brain starts shrinking.
Starting with the tips of the limbs
into the rest of the body.
Until I eventually die.
We'll delay it as much
as possible with drugs
but it's untreatable at this moment.
Misol
The person you're calling is not
responding. Please try again later.
Misol's mom
Mrs. Lee. It's Minjun.
I can't reach Misol.
What?
You okay?
I'm fine.
I'm gonna die soon anyway.
Is it so easy for you to say?
Do you know how I feel
every time you say that?
Don't cry.
Don't you cry.
Someone might think
it's you who's dying.
I said stop saying that!
Okay. So stop crying.
Guys, dinner's ready.
Did you two fight?
Why so quiet?
Fine. Here.
- Eat up and cheer up...
- Dad.
Yeah?
Can we stop cheering up?
What...? Oh, okay.
Just chew well.
Minjun, are you not taking auditions?
Why do you ask?
It's been a while since I saw you on TV.
Well, I did a series recently...
Oh, good!
When is it airing?
A little later.
Later tonight?
That's fantastic.
We can all watch together.
Good.
You really don't need to do that.
Come on, more the merrier.
He's a real actor now.
We must end this before it blows over.
If the King hear about this,
we'll not escape the trouble.
What you do say?
When are you coming on?
Any moment now.
Question the man that stole the document.
Bring in the slave for questioning.
Yes, sir.
I'll get my phone from Misol's room.
Sure.
There he is!
- Misol, Minjun's on.
- Minjun!
You're on.
Shit... this is so embarrassing.
Mr. Lee... Mrs. Lee?
Are you crying?
It's not really a sad scene.
Oh man... What's with your acting?
What about it?
Do you really not know?
You thick-faced thing!
How dare you!
How dare you
betray your master as a slave
and steal this house's secrets.
If you want to save yourself
say who put you up to this.
I never had a leech that suck on
the good people as my master.
Although I was born
a lowly slave in this life,
I shall wear a big sword
in after life to punish you.
You shall all see!
How dare he!
I'm not used to doing period drama.
I'm usually quite good.
Can't believe they decided to air it.
Blood-sucking leech!
That's terrible acting. Period.
Everyone will make fun of me
on the internet, right?
They'll make memes.
You still want to continue acting?
You may never make it.
You're right.
I'm afraid I might end up a failure.
But once I start looking for reasons
not to do it, there was no end.
You know everyone was against it
when I said I'd become an actor.
Your face is too plain. Shoulders, too
narrow. You can never get rid of your accent.
My grandma even said
it was written in my fate.
So I tried so much harder.
I joined a theater company, started
working out, worked on my accent...
And then, when I finally went on the stage
with an one-line part
and at the curtain call,
it felt like I had conquered the world.
I really felt alive then.
Me, too.
I felt that too, a long time ago.
Guess what daddy got for you?
A present.
On the day I got my first guitar,
I took it to my ear.
I could hear my heart beat.
I loved it.
Since then, I played the guitar
and sang everyday.
At least when I'm singing
I can forget that I'm sick.
It made me so happy.
I felt alive, like you said.
That was living and breathing.
Minjun, I will sing.
I want to sing as long as I can.
I don't want to live as if I'm dead.
I want to be alive as long as I live.
I want to try until the end.
Like you.
I want you to promise me though
that you will stay by my side.
Okay. I'll be by your side.
Hi, guys! How have you been?
We've been good.
What about you, Misol?
Are you okay?
I'm good thanks to you.
Thank you all for coming on.
No need to thank us.
It's an honor to be part
of such an amazing song.
Did you check out the music I sent you?
Yeah, it's really good.
Just needs minor touches here and there.
Thank you.
Can we go around and hear each part?
I'm here.
Hi. Give me a sec.
See you at the next rehearsal.
Bye.
You're early.
What about the truck?
Um, sold out.
I had many customers earlier.
I see.
How's the preparation going?
We'll practice again next week
and we're ready to record.
Is there anything I can help with?
I'd be happy to help.
You have helped already.
But I haven't done anything.
You'll see.
What is it? Tell me.
Don't.
- Don't do what?
- Hey.
- You gotta tell me.
- Hey.
- What is it?
- Stop it.
- Tell me what it is.
- Stop.
- What is it? Come on!
- I said stop it.
Stop it.
Minjun is here?
Oh...
Keep going.
What am I saying?
How dare you!
What are you doing to my daughter?
It's not what it looks like.
Ouch, Mr. Lee!
Dad!
It was an accident.
Hi! I'm uh...
I'm Misol's stylist, Cho Okkyung.
I know you are all curious
about what Misol's up to.
Misol is gearing up with the band
in preparation for the new song.
Misol, say hello.
Hi, everyone.
Hi, y'all!
I'll be right back with good music.
Wish us luck!
Misol's manager, Minjun
has just arrived.
Minjun, come and say hi.
No, that's alright.
We'll be back soon with more updates.
Hey, will the lyrics be ready by this week?
Yeah, I just need to finish the chorus.
Okay.
How about adding strings or
orchestra starting from here
to build up the sound?
Then we'll need an arranger,
session players and a lot of money.
That'd be nice but given circumstances,
let's keep it minimal among us.
Okay.
Sure.
So, Minjun you did make this happen?
Yes!
I truly didn't expect you
would make this happen.
Of course, even you
must be good at something!
Look front!
So, all the band members are already there?
Band, please follow me.
Wow...
This is so cool.
You really did a nice job, Minjun!
Nice to meet you, Misol.
- Hello.
- Hi!
Thank you for coming.
Thank you for doing this favor.
I'm happy to help.
I'm a big fan of yours.
You should owe it to your boyfriend.
He worked hard to set you up.
Everyone ready to start?
Of course.
I'll settle down here.
Then, I'll sit here.
No. Get out, all of you.
It's dad. I gotta be here.
If you don't want your dad,
then at least, I should be here.
I said get out.
- Come on. Now.
- Wait. Come on.
Go on. Out you go.
You can hear it later.
- But it's me, your dad.
- Listen.
Don't be nervous.
Just be yourself.
Okay.
I think she's starting.
Oh God...
Why are you nervous?
I'm worried she might make a mistake.
She'll be fine.
She worked so hard for this.
But she's never sung
in front of a famous artist before.
What if she messes up?
It's not like she's professional.
An amateur can make mistakes.
Don't worry. She's no amateur.
Not when she sings.
She's more serious than anyone
when she sings.
Like she's telling her story
to the world,
she is the happiest when she sings
She'll be as good as ever.
Good girl.
Okay.
It's windy today.
A real biting wind.
It'll be winter soon.
Here.
What's that?
Tickets to Hawaii.
You've never been to the beach
because of me.
Go bathe in the sun.
Where did you get the money for that?
No, I don't need this.
You deserve it more than anyone.
Take it.
Come on.
This is the real deal.
How did you...?
You'd better pass your test.
Thanks so much.
You're my best friend.
I trust you'll take good care of her.
You've got nothing to worry about.
Be careful, darling.
Don't worry, mom.
Is this what you've been
wanting to do all along?
Yes, I've always wished for a date with
my boyfriend in broad daylight.
Anything else?
Well...
For you to be healthy and happy.
Can you do that for me?
Of course.
- Act harder.
- Okay.
- And find a new girlfriend.
- Okay.
What?
I'm messing with you.
You okay?
Sure you're not straining yourself?
Let's go.
Excuse me.
Are you Misol by any chance?
Yes.
We're your fans.
Can I ask for a picture together?
Just one?
- Let me take it for you.
- Thank you!
One two three.
- Here.
- Thank you so much.
- We love you.
- Love you!
Can't believe this.
We're fans, too.
Can we get a picture?
Of course.
Let me take it for you.
One two three.
So, how am I doing these days?
I've been at my happiest.
To describe the feeling...
It's like floating over the clouds.
Like a hungry baby
feeding on its mom's breast.
Or a deaf man hearing
Beethoven for the first time?
I'm so over the moon
that I smile for no reason.
But while I'm smiling
I get overwhelmingly happy,
that it brings tears to my eyes.
I'm so very happy, yet
I can't help crying.
Minjun?
Yes.
Director is impressed by your acting.
He wants to see you again.
Really?
I'll get in touch soon.
Thank you!
Did you call Minjun?
I left him a message.
Misol said he has an important audition.
She doesn't want to interrupt.
How thoughtful of my girl.
- It was Sweet kiss by Upboys.
- Sir, can you go a little faster?
Got it.
Thank you.
We're ready to announce the winner.
The finalists for
Most Requested Track are:
Loved for their strong melody,
One & Only by T.O.X.
and Star Bits by Lee Misol
whose story touched many people.
They are both equally worthy being no.1.
And the winner of
Most Requested Track is...
We'll announce it after a break.
Anyone know what Misol's up to?
Following the patient's refusal
of life-sustaining procedures
and in consideration for the organ donees,
we'll stop all life-supporting
activities on the patient
as of 3:49pm Dec 29, 2022.
Please say your last goodbyes.
Hello?
Hello? Who's calling?
Misol...
Thank you for being my daughter.
I love you so much, baby.
Okkyung, say your goodbye.
I'll remove the life support devices now.
Misol...
I nailed the audition as I promised.
So don't worry, okay?
And listen to this.
Thank you for staying tuned.
Before we announce the winner,
I have news to deliver.
We just had an update that Misol is saying
her final goodbyes with her loved ones.
As her big fan, I would like to
pass my heartfelt condolences.
Many fans are leaving comments
on live chats.
I will read out one of them.
Parting always leave us with pain
but with beautiful memories, too.
Although we'll part ways for now,
the music you gave
us will stay in our hearts
as will you, Misol, live
in our memories forever.
We'll listen to the
Most Requested Track of the Year.
Lee Misol sings: Star Bits
A flame just born
swallows the dark of the night
Grow fast into a star bit
Every night the stars whisper to me
When morning comes
no one will know me
But remember that always
Hidden in bright light,
I've been watching you
If you hear my breath,
lift your head
Because I'm there like always
Let's eat.When I look up to the sky
Honey. Come on.there is a falling star bit
drawing a line across the night sky
I remember that night like it's yesterday
I'll become a star
Bye! Please come again.
And find you maybe
But remember always
Hidden in bright light,
I've been watching you
If you hear my breath,
lift your head
Because I'm there like always
I wish my voice will melt
into everyone's sky
Remember the bits of me always
Hidden in bright light,
I've been watching you
If you hear my breath,
lift your head
Because I'm there like always
cancer develops when exposed to ultraviolet rays.
Also, various complications such as eye
contraction and cranial nerve disease develop.
No clear cure has been
found for this disease yet.

5 minutes to sunrise
Midnight Sun
Fruit truck guy!
Morning.
What can I get you?
Apples, 10 dollars' worth.
Apples, 10 dollars.
These are lovely.
- Thank you.
- Good luck today.
Bye.
Hey, don't sneak up on others like that.
Others? You say like I'm a stranger to you.
What are you...?
You're spying on him again, creep.
Why don't you go talk to him?
Don't you see the sun?
You can always wear that.
Get outta here.
I'm only venting.
What if he stops coming here?
You don't even know his name or number.
Go and at least try having a word.
Like how?
She's coming!
Misol! Misol, Misol, Misol!
How did it go?
What's his name? His number?
Oh... I forgot to ask that.
Seriously?
I'm really sorry to tell you but
he seems be into the cute types
like me.
What innovative bullshit is that?
Look.
I was watching him
pretending to look at fruits
when he suddenly talked to me:
What's your favorite fruit?
So?
So, I said...
'I like plums' and he goes:
You like pretty fruits like yourself.
He said that?
I know!
Look, I'm really sorry.
Misol, come and have some fruit.
Your mom must be here.
Yes, we are coming.
Hi, Mrs. Lee.
You're here, too.
Here, have some peaches.
Why did you get so many?
There was a fruit truck out front.
The vendor is such a sweetheart.
He asked me what my favorite fruit is.
So, I said peaches and he goes:
You like pretty fruits like yourself.
Right?
Yeah! How do you know that?
You're so gullible.
You should've at least bought some fruits.
But... the nuance was different.
I'll go and wash these.
I guess he didn't just say it to me then.
What fruit did you say?
- Plums.
- Plums?
Hey.
I'm going to ask you for
a breath sample.
What?
You did drink, didn't you?
What are you talking about?
Then, breathe into this.
Are you kidding me?
Breathe out properly.
Out, out, out.
There.
0.05? Give me 30 dollars.
Where's my change?
Sorry I don't have any.
Come on.
I really don't.
Well then, sing a song for me.
Forget it. I'm not singing.
Give you an extra 10, if you sing.
Please, please, please?
Please, please, please?
Well, Just one song, then.
You're such a tease.
Honey, come and hear this.
A round of applause.
We're far away from
each other like this
but I can picture you in my mind
Your image appears
across the night sky
It soaks into my heart,
then disappears
When I was with you
I didn't know
what had become precious to me
All these times with you
I didn't realize
I put my hands together tonight
to pray again
I put my hands together tonight
to pray again
Damn.
Are you crying?
The song reminds me of
when I was dating your mom.
Anyway, darling
it's a waste of talent to sing
only to yourself at home.
You gotta let people hear it.
Forget it. There are tons of
good singers out there.
No no no. Listen to your dad.
If you want, I'll fully support...
I said I'm fine.
I'm going to bed.
Misol, why don't we talk...
Misol.
Stop it, stop it!
What are you doing, honey?
I'm in bed.
Good night.
Thanks, you too.
Hi, fruit truck guy!
Hello.
I haven't seen you in a while.
Been busy at home.
What can I get you?
- Some peaches?
- Peaches.
- 10 dollars' worth.
- Coming right up.
Here.
- Have a good one.
- You too, ma'am.
Hey... hey!
Fruit truck man!
Are you okay?
Can I get some... apples, please?
Here you go.
You must really like apples.
People say your apples are the best.
You didn't have to run like that.
I'm coming back tomorrow.
I can't during the day.
Because of work.
I see.
I'm sorry to ask but
I really want to buy fruits from you.
Can you come during the night at all?
I'm afraid I have other rounds to do
in the evening.
I'm sorry.
I'll see you around.
Give me a call if you need something.
I'll try to come when I can.
Thank you.
You got his number?
Yep.
I didn't know you had it in you, girl.
What do I do now?
Shall I just confess my feelings?
Nonsense. To scare him away with
your forever alone aura?
You gotta play him.
Play hard to get.
What?
Drive him crazy with your charms.
My charms...
Let me see.
Okay! Let's start with your hair style.
You gonna do it yourself?
Leave it to me.
I'll give you the coolest makeover.
Come here.
Hey hey!
Here we go.
Close your eyes or
the hair will get in them.
Are you done?
Can I open them now?
One sec... this is a historical moment.
So count to three, then open.
Okay.
One.
Two.
Bye, Mrs. Lee.
I won't be coming for a while.
What?
Three.
Cho Okkyung!!!
Thank you for waiting.
Here.
Thank you.
Here's your money.
Enjoy your apples.
Hey...
If you don't mind...
Would you like this?
I made some for you
for your hard work.
That's not necessary
but thank you.
You must be a big fan.
Excuse me?
The apples.
You bought a lot the other day.
Oh, yes!
They're so good.
Organic and all.
They're not organic.
Who cares?
As long as they taste good.
Not bad. Not bad at all.
When did you start with the fruit truck?
Why do you ask?
There was another truck before
in this neighborhood.
You mean, my dad?
My dad was doing it before he got sick.
I'm filling in temporarily.
This isn't what I do normally.
Then, what do you do?
What do you think?
Maybe you can tell
if you look at my face.
I can't.
It's a giveaway.
Take a good look.
An athlete?
No. Try again.
Are you by any chance...
a thug?
You don't have an eye for people.
I'm sorry.
No need to apologize.
You'll find out soon enough.
What do you do for a living?
Me? I...
Let me guess.
First, give me your hand.
My hand?
Hands tell a lot about who you are.
You have soft hands,
so no tough work...
Can I touch it?
Just very slightly?
Huh?
Is that Misol?
Who's that jerk fondling
my daughter's hand?
What are you doing here?
Mr. Lee, trust me you don't
want to interrupt her now.
Or it'll be a bloodbath.
- What are you talking about?
- Come on, Mr. Lee. Come with me.
You have a callus on tips
of your left fingers
and long nails on your right fingers.
This can only mean
you play the guitar.
Yes!
And you can project your voice
far enough to stop my truck.
So you're a singer who plays the guitar.
Correct.
Right? Right?
Didn't you say you had a day job?
At a talent agency.
Are you really preparing
to launch your career?
What genre?
A singer-songwriter?
Something like that.
Wow, I love that kind of music!
Kim Gwang-suk, Kim Hyun-chul,
Jason Mraz, Nora Jones, and... Ed Sheeran!
They're my favorite singers too.
Really?
That's really admirable.
What is?
People don't do that kind of music anymore.
Not if you want to get rich.
It's not for money.
You do what you like.
That's what I believe in too.
Doing what I love till I die.
We're like-minded, you and I.
We haven't even exchanged names yet.
I'm Kim Minjun.
I'm Lee Misol.
Good to meet you, Misol.
Misol.
Are you there?
Or not?
Where did she go?
I'm dying to hear about last night.
You are?
But first things first.
We have a score to settle.
You ruthless.
Move on.
Just tell me what to do.
You already know the answer.
He said he likes singer-songwriters.
So sing for him. Simple.
But how?
I can't just start singing randomly.
Use your head and somehow set the mood
where it's natural to sing.
Like a natural atmosphere?
Misol?
Hey you.
What are you doing here?
I come out for air...
to sing sometimes.
I see.
Why? Is it weird?
No. I suppose you can do that.
Here.
Thank you.
Here.
Thanks.
You know...
Why don't you sit with me?
You came all the way here.
Okay.
Take a seat here.
Can you sing something?
Since we're here, maybe?
That's so random!
I really don't know what to do...
but, is there any specific song you'd like?
Huh?
Whatever you sing well.
I can sing most songs quite well.
What should I sing...
You're a songwriter.
Do you have your own songs?
Singing your own songs is the best.
I do have my own songs
but I've never sung it to anyone before.
Even better. Let me hear it.
I'll tell you how it is.
You can't laugh though.
At the day's end so does begin
my dark morning
With no one to meet,
I wander the empty street
and every night
wishing on a miracle
For a reason to not feel lonely
because I have nothing
to miss being with
Yellow day, please
Wash me down with your warm rays
Help me to get closer
to where I can't reach
Yellow day, please
Tell me the scent of sunshine
with your eyes
that resemble the sun
Yellow day, please
wash me down with your warm rays
Help me to get closer
to where I can't reach
Yellow day, please
tell me the scent of sunshine
with your eyes
that resemble the sun
What do you think?
I love it!
Really?
You're actually very talented.
No, I'm more of the visual type.
Do you have another song?
Let me hear more.
- Shall I?
- Yes.
But...
Isn't it a little unfair?
What is?
I'm singing all these songs
and you're just listening.
Ah, am I being brazen?
No, that's not it
but it'd be nice
if there are takes after gives...
Fine. I'll treat you to a movie.
- A movie?
- Sure.
Are you free the day after tomorrow
in the evening?
I'm quite busy
but I'd like that.
Sing me another song.
Shall I?
Let's see...
He must be a player.
You think?
Of course! He got you to fall
head over heels for him within 3 days.
And he's taking you out
to a drive-in theater?
It can only mean one thing.
Taking it to the next level.
No, it can't be...
Oh yes. Tomorrow,
you'll have your first kiss.
Oh no! What should I do?
What do you mean 'what'?
The kiss.
You know how to do it.
You've done it before.
Of course.
Until my lips got ragged.
Even my front tooth is loose.
How is it done?
Tell me everything.
You can't really explain how it's done.
You'll know what to do
when it happens.
What if I make a mistake?
I need to practice.
Practice?
Come here.
Hey! Come to your senses.
It's me, Okkyung.
Girls, have some...
Mom.
Mrs. Lee, I can explain.
It's okay. I understand.
Mom! Mom! Mom!
It's not like that.
Mom!
I almost had my first kiss with her.
Here's your coke.
Go where?
To the drive-in theater.
On a date with the fruit truck boy.
Oh God...
Should I report it to the police?
How can you be sitting around like this?
What can I do about our 20-year-old
daughter going on a date?
You can't be so allowing with her
even if she's unwell.
Honey, Misol is at her most
beautiful and passionate age.
Don't you see?
You've grown balls, boy.
To think about stabbing me in the back.
You've really grown.
I think it's you who's grown old.
Too old to notice
a knife coming from behind.
Are you willing to take it this far?
That's for you to decide, not me.
Because it's you standing
on the edge of the cliff now.
It'll take just a nudge from a finger
to tip you over.
You piece of shit.
There! There!
Look, there!
Behind the main guy.
Bit blurry, but you can see.
Better not take too long.
My boys are quite impatient.
Did you see that?
Now you know what I do.
Do I feel like a different person now?
I'll be a household name soon.
Watch me.
Doesn't this feel like fate?
How we met?
Fate?
An aspiring singer meets
an aspiring actor by mere chance.
If you put it that way.
Think about it.
How great it'd be if we're still
best friends when we are top stars
10 or 20 years on.
Oh, what's the matter?
What?
What is it?
Not so sure about yourself?
It's not that.
Have confidence that
you'll make your dream come true.
I'm sorry but can we not
talk about the future?
I can barely think about the present.
But you gotta look to the future.
Imagine...
I should go.
What, suddenly?
You're home.
What are you doing out?
Getting some air.
You don't look like someone
coming back from a date.
How do you know about that?
Your mom told me.
Did she?
You're a big girl, so I won't
lecture you about dating
but did you tell him?
I understand how you feel
but you still gotta tell him.
Or it'll weigh down on you
both you and him.
I'll handle it.
Did I say something wrong?
I don't get it.
Are you free tonight?
Allow me.
You wanted a drink suddenly?
That's what you do when you have
something important to say.
I have something to tell you.
What would that be?
So, I...
What I want to say is that...
Have a drink, Minjun.
Come on.
Wait.
You said you had something
you want to tell me.
You're right.
I had something important to say.
What was it?
Oh I remember.
Why didn't you say that to me?
What?
When I bought apples for the first time.
You like pretty fruits like yourself.
Why didn't you say that to me?
Oh that's...
Actually, that's a sales pitch.
5 minutes to sunrise
Minjun.
Wake up, Minjun.
Minjun!
Hey, are you up?
What's wrong?
I gotta go home now.
Give me a minute to sober up.
I gotta get home now!
What's wrong?
Misol! Get back in.
Misol, wait!
Misol! Misol!
Hey, are you okay?
Tell me, Misol.
Hey! Where is she?
She just went inside.
You bastard, are you trying to
kill my daughter?
No, sir! I just...
Misol.
Misol, are you okay?
I don't see any other symptoms
that may trigger the condition.
But you must be very careful, okay?
Yes, doctor.
The person you're
calling is not responding...
Mr. Lee, someone here for you.
Stop fidgeting with your food.
Here. Eat up.
Darling, please eat something
for your medicine,
even if you don't feel like it.
Here it goes.
It must be dad.
- Is that you, honey?
- Yeah.
Did you drink again?
I got a good drinking buddy,
so of course.
A drinking buddy?
And I brought him home
to introduce you.
Come on in.
Here.
This is Misol's mom.
Nice to meet you, ma'am.
Where are you going?
Your friend is here.
Dig in.
Yes, sir.
Where is Misol?
She won't open her door.
Cold-hearted bitch.
I should get back now.
I'm sorry for troubling you.
Don't say that.
Come again for supper next time.
Thank you.
- Good night then.
- Good night.
Hey, wait.
I guess dad told you everything.
That's right.
I lied to you about everything.
But it wasn't on purpose.
It so happened...
I'm sorry anyway. I really am.
I said my apologies.
So I'll get going then.
You can't just say what you want
and walk away.
There's something I kept from you.
Really?
What is it?
I'm sorry.
I've been wanting to get that.
That?
Open up.
It's good.
Good, right?
It's so good.
You okay?
I'm okay.
It won't kill me.
That's an electric guitar.
So cool.
It's beautiful.
- Let's get outta here.
- Why?
- Come on.
- Why?
Come on.
You're getting back to college next spring?
Yeah, I wanted to save up
money and take auditions.
And to look after dad, too.
That's amazing.
Nothing amazing about that.
There are kids like me
who's always a burden.
Don't be stupid.
Stop it.
We'll be late. Come on.
Let's sit here.
It's cool, right?
You'd be awesome
if you perform like them.
I'm not cut out for that.
After a few shows, you'll be all the rage
on YouTube and Instagram.
That sounds dreamy but
the idea scares me too.
Why?
If people take interest in my music,
they'll find out about me.
Then, it'll be a matter of time before
they find out about my condition.
Then that's all they'll care about,
my disease, not my music.
It's always been like that.
Then how about this?
Create your own channel
Sunflower's attic.
Done.
Hi, I'm an absolute music lover
and passionate about singing...
Passionate? Seriously?
Ha... Again.
Hi, I'm a singer-song writer who
loves to write and sing...
So cringy. Singer-song writer?
Don't worry about anything else.
Just focus on the song.
If you sing from what you feel,
people will love it too.
If I were your eyes,
I would blur out
everything you see except for me
If I were your ears,
I would filter out any mean words
that pass around you
If I were your lips,
I would make me your first kiss
not that other girl
If I were your heart,
I would run at my fastest
to make myself become your first love
Now, I will see it.
Misol, check this out.
I just discovered your music
and absolutely love it!
Sunflower, your music
reminds me of my first love.
Told you!
I knew they'd love it.
I've already fallen for your song.
What a melting voice.
The song is so good.
Such a great talent.
Must've got it from her father.
Sunflower says:
No, she got it from her mother!
Wow, nice.
Bye.
New song
Thank you so much!
Please look forward to the upcoming songs!
100,000!
100,000 subscribers!
- 100,000!
- 100,000!
Let me join!
Congrats! 100,000!
Congratulations, congratulations
on getting 100,000 subscribers
- I'm really happy for you.
- Thank you.
I owe it all to you.
Don't say that.
I didn't do anything.
Without you, I'd have no courage.
You flatter me.
To continue with the good vibe...
Wait.
Here.
What's this?
Open it.
This is...
Do you like it?
Of course.
But this must've cost a fortune.
I am the top fruit seller
of the town.
But still...
If you're so grateful,
please play a song for me.
What do you want?
The new song.
I love that song.
That one? Okay.
I don't know
How in a blink of an eye
It suddenly felt like
we were alone in a tiny room
I don't know
why I love this feeling
that everything is watching us
Shall we now... fall in love
Let me check it.
Adore her heavenly voice and emotions.
LEGEND. Can't stop listening!
I think I know who Sunflower is!
Finally revealing her face??
CHURCH
That church on her window
is in Dangjin.
I can see it from my school, too.
There is a house with
blue-tinted windows like hers.
I heard the girl who lives there
will die if she sees sunlight.
Like Dracula?
Burn in the sunlight? LOL
OMG. Is she dying? Lol
A real-life vampire.
I'll kill them all!
Where are you going, Misol?
To see Minjun.
It's late. Why don't you stay?
I'll be right back.
Misol.
Yeah?
You okay, baby?
What are you talking about?
Be right back.
You okay?
I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry?
Feels like it's all my fault.
Don't worry about it.
Still, those trolls...
Shall we report them to the police?
Are you worried I might kill myself?
I've got something worse
which hasn't killed me yet.
I want to live quietly for now.
Hi, I'm Sunflower...
No, my name is Lee Misol.
I'm a singer.
You've shown a lot of interest
in me the past few days.
As you speculated,
I'm suffering from a rare condition
called XP syndrome.
But I didn't start this channel
as a patient.
As a music lover, I wanted
to share and enjoy my music
and that will never change
because...
Hi! My name is Min Jiyoung.
I'm a huge fan of your music.
And I also have XP syndrome.
I read that you might have
the same condition as me
which I hope isn't true
but if it is
I would like to thank you.
I thought you couldn't do anything
if you have this condition.
But now, I have hope
that maybe I can do something.
I want to find it from now on,
what I want to do, what I can do.
Because
people who have difficulties like me
can have hope through my music.
So from now, I'm going to
stand tall and sing in front of you.
Please give me support and encouragement.
Is this it? It's so cool.
Will people show up?
You put up the notice properly, right?
Wait a moment.
We still have time.
- Let's start setting up.
- Okay.
All done?
What else do we need?
Music stand and speakers.
Let's go.
- Hi, Misol.
- Hi.
Do you know me?
Of course. We're huge fans.
We even covered some of your songs.
What?
We play music, too, as a band.
So, we thought...
maybe we can back you up
for today's busking.
Wow, I would really love that.
Yeah?
Can you do this?
Go get them!
Don't be nervous.
Just be yourself.
Okay.
Hello, I'm Lee Misol, a singer.
Thank you for being here
at my first-ever busking gig.
I'll start off with my song,
Yellow Day.
At the day's end so does begin
my dark morning
With no one to meet,
I wander the empty street
and every night
wishing on a miracle
For a reason to not feel lonely
because I have nothing
to miss being with
Yellow day, please
wash me down with your warm rays
Help me to get closer
to where I can't reach
Yellow day, please
tell me the scent of sunshine
Go, Misol! with your
eyes that resemble the sun
On my heart
shrouded within clouds
On my heart that knows
no spring, no warmth, no wind
Green shoots have sprouted
So maybe it's a world you can
live without the sun
Yellow day, please
wash me down with your warm rays
Help me to get closer
to where I can't reach
Yellow day, please
tell me the scent of sunshine
with your eyes
that resemble the sun
My heart's still pounding.
Look.
Hey! Don't do that suddenly.
It doesn't matter. Look.
My god, it matters!
64 dollars, right?
Yes, ma'am.
- Here.
- Thank you.
What's going on?
You're beaming these days.
Are you dating someone?
It's not like that.
- Are you free tomorrow night?
- Wanna do something?
Been wanting to go here.
Okay!
I'll make the reservation.
Look at you smile.
You should give some attention
to your channel, too.
Why do you say that?
Fans are moaning about when
a new song will be released.
A new song?
Yeah.
Wait.
Listen to this.
What is it?
I was stuck on it for so long
until I started again recently.
What's it called?
Star bits
Star bits...
Alright, I'm feeling it.
Go on, let me hear it.
Why did you stop?
I was getting into it.
You don't make mistakes like that.
I'll start again.
What's the matter with you?
Something wrong with the guitar?
I need the bathroom.
Everything's fine, right?
Well...
Will you give us a room, Misol?
No. I'll stay.
Come on, darling.
Come with mom.
No, mom.
I wanna hear it, too.
Doctor, please continue.
Misol, come out and talk to me.
Misol!
It seems that
the disease has started progressing.
Paralysis will set in
as your brain starts shrinking.
Starting with the tips of the limbs
into the rest of the body.
Until I eventually die.
We'll delay it as much
as possible with drugs
but it's untreatable at this moment.
Misol
The person you're calling is not
responding. Please try again later.
Misol's mom
Mrs. Lee. It's Minjun.
I can't reach Misol.
What?
You okay?
I'm fine.
I'm gonna die soon anyway.
Is it so easy for you to say?
Do you know how I feel
every time you say that?
Don't cry.
Don't you cry.
Someone might think
it's you who's dying.
I said stop saying that!
Okay. So stop crying.
Guys, dinner's ready.
Did you two fight?
Why so quiet?
Fine. Here.
- Eat up and cheer up...
- Dad.
Yeah?
Can we stop cheering up?
What...? Oh, okay.
Just chew well.
Minjun, are you not taking auditions?
Why do you ask?
It's been a while since I saw you on TV.
Well, I did a series recently...
Oh, good!
When is it airing?
A little later.
Later tonight?
That's fantastic.
We can all watch together.
Good.
You really don't need to do that.
Come on, more the merrier.
He's a real actor now.
We must end this before it blows over.
If the King hear about this,
we'll not escape the trouble.
What you do say?
When are you coming on?
Any moment now.
Question the man that stole the document.
Bring in the slave for questioning.
Yes, sir.
I'll get my phone from Misol's room.
Sure.
There he is!
- Misol, Minjun's on.
- Minjun!
You're on.
Shit... this is so embarrassing.
Mr. Lee... Mrs. Lee?
Are you crying?
It's not really a sad scene.
Oh man... What's with your acting?
What about it?
Do you really not know?
You thick-faced thing!
How dare you!
How dare you
betray your master as a slave
and steal this house's secrets.
If you want to save yourself
say who put you up to this.
I never had a leech that suck on
the good people as my master.
Although I was born
a lowly slave in this life,
I shall wear a big sword
in after life to punish you.
You shall all see!
How dare he!
I'm not used to doing period drama.
I'm usually quite good.
Can't believe they decided to air it.
Blood-sucking leech!
That's terrible acting. Period.
Everyone will make fun of me
on the internet, right?
They'll make memes.
You still want to continue acting?
You may never make it.
You're right.
I'm afraid I might end up a failure.
But once I start looking for reasons
not to do it, there was no end.
You know everyone was against it
when I said I'd become an actor.
Your face is too plain. Shoulders, too
narrow. You can never get rid of your accent.
My grandma even said
it was written in my fate.
So I tried so much harder.
I joined a theater company, started
working out, worked on my accent...
And then, when I finally went on the stage
with an one-line part
and at the curtain call,
it felt like I had conquered the world.
I really felt alive then.
Me, too.
I felt that too, a long time ago.
Guess what daddy got for you?
A present.
On the day I got my first guitar,
I took it to my ear.
I could hear my heart beat.
I loved it.
Since then, I played the guitar
and sang everyday.
At least when I'm singing
I can forget that I'm sick.
It made me so happy.
I felt alive, like you said.
That was living and breathing.
Minjun, I will sing.
I want to sing as long as I can.
I don't want to live as if I'm dead.
I want to be alive as long as I live.
I want to try until the end.
Like you.
I want you to promise me though
that you will stay by my side.
Okay. I'll be by your side.
Hi, guys! How have you been?
We've been good.
What about you, Misol?
Are you okay?
I'm good thanks to you.
Thank you all for coming on.
No need to thank us.
It's an honor to be part
of such an amazing song.
Did you check out the music I sent you?
Yeah, it's really good.
Just needs minor touches here and there.
Thank you.
Can we go around and hear each part?
I'm here.
Hi. Give me a sec.
See you at the next rehearsal.
Bye.
You're early.
What about the truck?
Um, sold out.
I had many customers earlier.
I see.
How's the preparation going?
We'll practice again next week
and we're ready to record.
Is there anything I can help with?
I'd be happy to help.
You have helped already.
But I haven't done anything.
You'll see.
What is it? Tell me.
Don't.
- Don't do what?
- Hey.
- You gotta tell me.
- Hey.
- What is it?
- Stop it.
- Tell me what it is.
- Stop.
- What is it? Come on!
- I said stop it.
Stop it.
Minjun is here?
Oh...
Keep going.
What am I saying?
How dare you!
What are you doing to my daughter?
It's not what it looks like.
Ouch, Mr. Lee!
Dad!
It was an accident.
Hi! I'm uh...
I'm Misol's stylist, Cho Okkyung.
I know you are all curious
about what Misol's up to.
Misol is gearing up with the band
in preparation for the new song.
Misol, say hello.
Hi, everyone.
Hi, y'all!
I'll be right back with good music.
Wish us luck!
Misol's manager, Minjun
has just arrived.
Minjun, come and say hi.
No, that's alright.
We'll be back soon with more updates.
Hey, will the lyrics be ready by this week?
Yeah, I just need to finish the chorus.
Okay.
How about adding strings or
orchestra starting from here
to build up the sound?
Then we'll need an arranger,
session players and a lot of money.
That'd be nice but given circumstances,
let's keep it minimal among us.
Okay.
Sure.
So, Minjun you did make this happen?
Yes!
I truly didn't expect you
would make this happen.
Of course, even you
must be good at something!
Look front!
So, all the band members are already there?
Band, please follow me.
Wow...
This is so cool.
You really did a nice job, Minjun!
Nice to meet you, Misol.
- Hello.
- Hi!
Thank you for coming.
Thank you for doing this favor.
I'm happy to help.
I'm a big fan of yours.
You should owe it to your boyfriend.
He worked hard to set you up.
Everyone ready to start?
Of course.
I'll settle down here.
Then, I'll sit here.
No. Get out, all of you.
It's dad. I gotta be here.
If you don't want your dad,
then at least, I should be here.
I said get out.
- Come on. Now.
- Wait. Come on.
Go on. Out you go.
You can hear it later.
- But it's me, your dad.
- Listen.
Don't be nervous.
Just be yourself.
Okay.
I think she's starting.
Oh God...
Why are you nervous?
I'm worried she might make a mistake.
She'll be fine.
She worked so hard for this.
But she's never sung
in front of a famous artist before.
What if she messes up?
It's not like she's professional.
An amateur can make mistakes.
Don't worry. She's no amateur.
Not when she sings.
She's more serious than anyone
when she sings.
Like she's telling her story
to the world,
she is the happiest when she sings
She'll be as good as ever.
Good girl.
Okay.
It's windy today.
A real biting wind.
It'll be winter soon.
Here.
What's that?
Tickets to Hawaii.
You've never been to the beach
because of me.
Go bathe in the sun.
Where did you get the money for that?
No, I don't need this.
You deserve it more than anyone.
Take it.
Come on.
This is the real deal.
How did you...?
You'd better pass your test.
Thanks so much.
You're my best friend.
I trust you'll take good care of her.
You've got nothing to worry about.
Be careful, darling.
Don't worry, mom.
Is this what you've been
wanting to do all along?
Yes, I've always wished for a date with
my boyfriend in broad daylight.
Anything else?
Well...
For you to be healthy and happy.
Can you do that for me?
Of course.
- Act harder.
- Okay.
- And find a new girlfriend.
- Okay.
What?
I'm messing with you.
You okay?
Sure you're not straining yourself?
Let's go.
Excuse me.
Are you Misol by any chance?
Yes.
We're your fans.
Can I ask for a picture together?
Just one?
- Let me take it for you.
- Thank you!
One two three.
- Here.
- Thank you so much.
- We love you.
- Love you!
Can't believe this.
We're fans, too.
Can we get a picture?
Of course.
Let me take it for you.
One two three.
So, how am I doing these days?
I've been at my happiest.
To describe the feeling...
It's like floating over the clouds.
Like a hungry baby
feeding on its mom's breast.
Or a deaf man hearing
Beethoven for the first time?
I'm so over the moon
that I smile for no reason.
But while I'm smiling
I get overwhelmingly happy,
that it brings tears to my eyes.
I'm so very happy, yet
I can't help crying.
Minjun?
Yes.
Director is impressed by your acting.
He wants to see you again.
Really?
I'll get in touch soon.
Thank you!
Did you call Minjun?
I left him a message.
Misol said he has an important audition.
She doesn't want to interrupt.
How thoughtful of my girl.
- It was Sweet kiss by Upboys.
- Sir, can you go a little faster?
Got it.
Thank you.
We're ready to announce the winner.
The finalists for
Most Requested Track are:
Loved for their strong melody,
One & Only by T.O.X.
and Star Bits by Lee Misol
whose story touched many people.
They are both equally worthy being no.1.
And the winner of
Most Requested Track is...
We'll announce it after a break.
Anyone know what Misol's up to?
Following the patient's refusal
of life-sustaining procedures
and in consideration for the organ donees,
we'll stop all life-supporting
activities on the patient
as of 3:49pm Dec 29, 2022.
Please say your last goodbyes.
Hello?
Hello? Who's calling?
Misol...
Thank you for being my daughter.
I love you so much, baby.
Okkyung, say your goodbye.
I'll remove the life support devices now.
Misol...
I nailed the audition as I promised.
So don't worry, okay?
And listen to this.
Thank you for staying tuned.
Before we announce the winner,
I have news to deliver.
We just had an update that Misol is saying
her final goodbyes with her loved ones.
As her big fan, I would like to
pass my heartfelt condolences.
Many fans are leaving comments
on live chats.
I will read out one of them.
Parting always leave us with pain
but with beautiful memories, too.
Although we'll part ways for now,
the music you gave
us will stay in our hearts
as will you, Misol, live
in our memories forever.
We'll listen to the
Most Requested Track of the Year.
Lee Misol sings: Star Bits
A flame just born
swallows the dark of the night
Grow fast into a star bit
Every night the stars whisper to me
When morning comes
no one will know me
But remember that always
Hidden in bright light,
I've been watching you
If you hear my breath,
lift your head
Because I'm there like always
Let's eat.When I look up to the sky
Honey. Come on.there is a falling star bit
drawing a line across the night sky
I remember that night like it's yesterday
I'll become a star
Bye! Please come again.
And find you maybe
But remember always
Hidden in bright light,
I've been watching you
If you hear my breath,
lift your head
Because I'm there like always
I wish my voice will melt
into everyone's sky
Remember the bits of me always
Hidden in bright light,
I've been watching you
If you hear my breath,
lift your head
Because I'm there like always
