01x02 - Episode 2

[bunniefuu]

Hi, Uncle Max!

Take a seat.

Yes, sir.

I bought you some coconut pancakes.

I heard in an interview
that you liked them very much.

They say that this store
is very popular in the market.

Here.

You want to bribe me?

Not at all.

I want to try some, so I got you some.

It's good that you're not
trying to bribe me.

I'll tell you that regardless of whether
you bought something for me or not,

it wouldn't affect
whether or not I accepted you.

You wanted to eat it, right?

Thank you.

I called you in

because there's something I wanted to ask.

You said you wanted
to be a singer like your dad.

Why?

Every time I watch the clip
that my father sang,

every time someone screamed at him,

my dad seemed very happy.

I want to have that moment too.

Oh! You want to be a singer

because you want someone
to scream at you like that?

No. Not like that!

I mean if they scream at me for what I do,

it shows that I can make them happy.

I like to see people happy.

The other thing is

I feel sorry for my mom.

How so?

My mom is very tired.

She has been working hard.

I know that she does it for me.

Even though I don't have a dad

she acts as both parents for me.

So I want her to live happily.

What is your mother doing now?

Is she still a cook?

That's right.

She used to have her own restaurant

but in the end it didn't last.

So she went back to being an employee.

But yesterday you told me

that your mom
doesn't want you to be a singer.

Yes, I did.

But I know that

if I succeed in this career,

she will have a better life.

This might go against her will

but she will be happier.

I know that

deep inside she still misses my dad.

And if I could do as my dad did,

Mom may feel like Dad is still around.

But you know, right,

that this road is not easy, Sky?

I know.

But I'm not the type to give up easily.

Please teach me, Uncle Max!

Start studying here tomorrow.

First session: 10 a.m. Don't be late!

Yes, sir! Thank you, Uncle Max!

Wait, you do not have to be overjoyed!

Just because I accepted you

doesn't mean you're representing

Max Academy in the competition
at the Icon, Sky!

If you want to go,

you have to pass the audition

to get into the Intensive Course

like the other students.

Then we will select representatives
from that Intensive Course

to compete at the Icon later.

Is that clear?

Roger that, sir!

Thank you, Chalarm!

But next time, you don't have to do this.

I can drive by myself. It's not that far.

I'm worried
you'll fall again like last time.

Hey! Finished talking with Master Max?

Did he kick you out again?

Stop trying!

He knows who is qualified to learn

and who isn't.

This time you are wrong.

Uncle Max has accepted me.

I'm so sorry.

Hey!

Stop using tricks to hold her hand.

What? I'm just teasing her.

-Are you a couple?
-No!

What's so funny?

Our relationship

is not your business.

No!

She said she's not your girlfriend

but you are so jealous with her.

It's as if you're daydreaming alone.

Chalarm!

So see you in class tomorrow.

Is it true?

So what changed your mind?

I saw Tem in him.

Sky told me that

he wants to be a performer

because he likes to see
people happy with what he does.

It was just like
what Tem used to say to me.

Like father,

like son!

It must be in their DNA, right?

Kim.

Tomorrow, please do me a favor.

Take good care of him.

It's the least that I can do

to atone for what I did to Tem.

Max!

Stop overthinking.

It's been a long time.

If Tem knew you'd changed your mind

and accepted Sky,

he would be very pleased.

Alright everyone!

From today onwards,

we'll be joined by a new friend.

Let's give a big hand for

Sky!

Tell her. Miss Kim.

He is a new guy here.

Why don't you send him to
Acting Plus class with the newbies?

Why is he studying with us?

Because this is a special class,

I will combine my acting class

with Master Pangpond's singing class

and call it Acting Through Singing.

Basically,
It is a method of training to sing

using lyrics as a script.

I let him attend this class

because I wanted to see

if he is ready to learn with you

or if should he start from the beginning?

That's good, Miss.

He should know

what level of talent he has.

Chalarm!

Sky, don't pay attention to him.

I believe you can do it.

Because your talent

has been shining since I first saw you.

Don't be too dramatic!

-Stay out of this!
-Well, that's enough!

-Are you ready?
-Yes, sir!

If you're ready,

-I'll start with the simple exercises.
-Okay.

Songs to flirt with girls.

You have to sing this song

to express your own feelings

to that girl.

To let her know what you want to say.

Got it!

Master Pangpond.

Who will be that girl?

Me! What do you want to say to me?

Me!

Okay, enough!

Kongkwan,

I think you're right for the role.

What? But I didn't raise my hand.

That's because you're the only one

who clearly doesn't like him.

So for him to sing

a flirtatious song to win you over,
it must be a bit difficult.

This is a test for him.

Come on, Kongkwan!

Up, up!

-This is it.
-Okay.

Are you ready to be flirted with?

Sing it then!

I'm sure you'll have to
study with the beginners.

Let's do it.

The truth that I yearned to keep hidden

Compelled me to keep my distance from you

I avoided your gaze
Scarcely crossing paths

Fearful that I'd slip

And reveal my true feelings

That night, the moon shone
With unparalleled beauty

And we were the only ones left in sight

The wind and stars seemed to conspire

Forcing us

Until I could no longer fight

No way to run

That's why I need to tell you

That I love you
Have loved you for too long

I didn't want you to know

To be bothered by me

But on that night

I needed to tell you the truth

Once you knew, were you filled with anger?

Don't blame me, it wasn't my fault

The moon, wind, and stars
All conspired against me

Compelling me to speak
The truth that I had fought

There was no escape

So I finally confessed

That I've been in love
With you for so long

I didn't want to burden you

With my true feelings

But that night

Everything urged me to say it to you

Excellent, Sky!

You have no doubts left about him, do you?

Sky is definitely not a beginner.

‪Go on.

For others, have you seen the example?

This is Acting Through Singing.

This is one of the skills

that we are looking for

to decide who will study
in the Intensive Course.

This coming week,

there will be an audition
for the Intensive Course.

So you guys must pay extra attention.

You were great today. If I were her,

my heart would have melted
from the first hook.

Are you an ice cream?

Butt out!

-Thank you.
-It's true!

When I hear you sing,

man! It gives me a lot of hope!

Four unlucky years that
Max Academy haven't won The Icon.

-They will end now.
-Definitely!

Hold on! Excuse me!

Did you forget something?

We still have Chalarm.

He has been waiting for many years.

-This year will be his...
-Shut your mouth!

This Chalarm guy

dropped off the radar for a long time.

But Sky, he is Max Academy's new favorite.

Sky is the one.
Chalarm is yesterday's news.

Aw! I'm starving!

-What's wrong with you?
-I'm hungry!

You just said you are full!

-I'm starving to death!
-What?

No, you are not!

Hey! Did you just say you were hungry?

No, I didn't!

-I'm hungry!
-I'm hungry! Aw!

-You are hungry!
-Okay. I'm still starving.

I didn't eat enough.

Let's go get something!

We will grab something to eat!

-Bye-bye.
-See you!

-It's done.
-Let's eat then.

Ah! Kongkwan. Just in time!

Help me taste the soup
and see which one is more delicious?

Come on.

-Hey.
-Come.

Please help me.

-Come on, Kongkwan.
-Careful. It's hot.

I made one, and your dad made another.

But I won't tell you who did what.

I am so confident.

I have so much confidence too!

But if I decide which pot I like more,

the loser must not be mad like last time.

Nah!

Take your pick!

I'm sure this time my food

will be better than your mom's.

And if we use my recipe to sell,

I guarantee that next month
when we open a noodle shop,

all I can say is one word... "full."

Full of what, Daddy?

Full house. To the max!

I think there's a song for this. Come on!

-Drum roll! Ta da!
-Whoa!

-Let's try!
-Smells so good!

-Ah! Try it, sweetie!
-Mine smells so good!

Dig in! Mine is more aromatic!

-Let's see.
-You choose!

Taste it!

‪Taste it!

-I will begin.
-Let's do it.

I won't tell you which one is mine.

Which one do you like?

Hmm. I think

I like this one!

Oops!

-Case closed, honey!
-Don't brag!

Jeez, don't cry!

-Wipe his tears. There, there!
-Aww, Daddy!

I didn't mean that your soup isn't tasty.

But Mom's soup

has a flavor that I like
and smells more tempting.

What? It is not!

This is what smells tempting, dear!

-A kiss like this!
-Come on, she is here!

-No, leave me alone! Don't come in!
-She is our own child!

Sweetheart!

Go away!

Stay out!

Let me kiss you!

Come on!

Aww!

Are you guys afraid

that our business
will lose again this time?

If you lose again,
you get up and fight again.

We just do our best and use every mistake

as a lesson.

Kongkwan.

Our family has passed
the lowest point ever, baby.

Yes, one day our family will be better.

But if it wasn't for Chalarm,

I don't know what our house
would be like today.

Anyway, you must be very nice to him.

You've told me 100 times already.

But are you guys doing fine?

I mean,

my school is still closed.

But when our restaurant opens,

do you guys want me
to drop out of Master Max's school,

so I can help you full time?

No! Don't do that!

You should follow your own dreams.

Don't give up on your dreams for us!

The more important thing is

that Master Max is kind enough
to let you study for free.

You must be completely dedicated to it!

I will win at The Icon

and will be a famous singer.

Our family will be happy again.

I believe you can do it.

Get out!

I'm using the practice room.

But I was here first.

No. I came first.

What?

I studied here before you came.

Are you looking for trouble?

Yeah, I want some trouble!

Normally no one uses
the rehearsal room with me.

Even if you're the favorite
of Master Duo and Master Max

you are still a newbie.

Be considerate of those
who came before you.

Listen to me.

Whether it's a new kid or an old kid

if the room is available,

anyone can use it.

Let's just say, don't steal anything
that belongs to me.

And I mean everything that belongs to me.

What are you talking about?

You know what I mean!

Hey!

Help! Help!

Masters! Please help! there's a problem!

Something happened.

Masters!

Hey! Stop!

Stop! Get up! Enough!

I normally use the room at this time.

But today I came first.

So what? I use the room all the time.

-It has no rules!
-Stop! Hey! Stop!

Enough!

Why are you guys fighting?

I'm standing here
but you still dare to fight.

Sit down!

I don't understand
why you guys are fighting.

There are many rehearsal rooms.

Okay,

let's say from now on,

if the room is available,
first come first served.

But no one can practice
for more than half an hour

if there is someone waiting to use it.

Everyone can live together

if they know how to compromise.

I understand that everyone is
very serious about the Intensive Course.

But at Max Academy,

We do not solve problems with violence.

Is that clear?

-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.

Too soft! Louder!

-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.

Good!

Chalarm is always like this.
As fierce as his name, The Shark.

Especially if it's about Kongkwan.
Man, no one can touch her.

Why does he care about her so much?

They are not a couple.

I don't know any details

but their mothers are friends.

When her family went bankrupt

his family helped her family a lot.

Kongkwan's family went bankrupt?

I don't want to be nosy.

But Chalarm's family

gave them like millions of baht to help.

-Millions?
-Of course!

A large sum of money!

Oops! Sorry!

‪Come on.

Don't look at me! I just
found out about this too!

Sky, Tonkla.

About that...

Can you keep it a secret for now?

We still don't want anyone to know.

Please, Sky!

Our families still don't know.

The more people know,

the more likely it is that
my dad will find out.

My dad couldn't take it, I know.

It must be very uncomfortable.

Don't worry.

I promise I won't tell anyone.

-You too, Tonkla!
-Don't worry.

No problem. I am not a nosy person.

Thank you.

Sky and Tonkla.

Here.

I bought it for you, use it.

How do I?

Do it for me.

Please. Pretty please!

Fine. Go to sit over there.

Let's see. Remove the seal.

And squeeze it on your hand.

Rub it in a circle.

Look at this!

And apply it on your face.

Apply it all over your face

so it can absorb into your skin.

I want your dad to go out
of town more often.

So you can come to sleep over
with me again.

Now Sky and Tonkla know about us,

I don't know

how long we can keep this secret.

Don't worry about the future just yet.

As long as we are happy now,
that's enough.

Alright?

Hey! Up! Fold!

Stop! Stop!

Why did we stop?

I'm starting to get the vibe
of Jackson Wang.

Gosh!

Jackson Wang or Jackson No hope?

Best.

Did you practice at home?

It's almost time
for the Intensive Course auditions.

I did.

But...

this dance move
is really difficult for me.

What am I supposed to do with you?

I don't have extra time to coach you.

How about this, Master Nite?

We pair those who can dance
to coach those who still can't.

So we don't have to ask
for more time from you.

I used to take a dance class in LA.

I saw them doing that.

Show off!

Actually, it's a good idea.

So...

Kongkwan.

You pair up with Best

and coach her a bit more

until she can dance this move.

Yes, sir!

Alright!

Don't push it if you don't want to.

I can practice by myself.

It's alright!

Do your best!

Let's continue!

Again, please!

I just talked with Master Nite.

He said you didn't do well in dance class.

That move is so hard,
I'm not really used to it.

Then why can Kongkwan do it?

I guess

I may not be as good as her.

If you're not good at it,
you need to practice until you are!

Mom!

I tried.

But I can't do it!

What do you expect me to... Ouch!

Don't say that again!

Mom, I'm hurt!

I named you Best

so that you wouldn't be second to anyone.

My own daughter

will never say that she can't do it.

If you can't even dance a small move,
how will you win at The Icons?

‪What happened?

Why did you stop?

Ouch! Mom! That hurts!

-Good! So you will remember! Again!
-Ouch! Mom!

This time with more confidence!

With inner feelings!

Hey! Best!

What happened?

Why are you limping like this?

I fell.

Did your mom make you practice again?

Well, Best.

Earlier,

I found new ice cream shop
that recently opened

at the front of the Housing Estate.

How about we go there tomorrow?

My treat!

So you can feel better.

I can't go, Mork.

After school,

Mom told me to come back
and practice dancing at home.

Well, I will talk to her.

Tell her you will come to practice
with me at home tomorrow.

After that we can go for ice cream.

But if she finds out...

She doesn't have to know.

You deserve to be happy.

In three days, it will be your birthday.

How about this?

I will invite our friends at school

to throw you a birthday party.

Really?

Of course.

Thank you, Mork!

You know, you are...

the best brother in the world!

Cheers!

Happy birthday, Best!

I didn't know
what to buy you as a present.

So I give you

this piece of pork instead.

Hey! That's the easy way out, Auto!

I can do that too!

Happy birthday, Best!

I also didn't know what
to buy you as a present.

So I'll give you a glass of soda!

Hey!

If you guys are giving her gifts like this

I think it's enough to just sit and eat.

Here, Best!

Bon appetit!

Sky!

When you lived in America,

did you ever eat Korean BBQ like this?

Yes, I did. And I like it a lot!

Really?

Then we have to come here again.

Sure!

Eating together like this is fun.

-Right?
-Yep!

Especially if Mork treats us again,
we're going to smash this place down.

Kamsamida!

Aww... So sweet!

Oh! I mean the drink.

My soda.

What are you doing, Chalarm?

Let's wipe your mouth.

I'm fine. I can do it myself.

What is so funny?

No. I'm just having a good time

eating my favorite Korean BBQ.

You're messing with me!

Chalarm!

This is Best's birthday party!

Why are you guys fighting?

Let's eat!

This is good!

Hey, man!

Wanna jam?

Let's do it!

Raise your hand!

Raise your hand!

Raise, raise your hand!

Raise your hand!

Yeah!

Wanna be more sassy than anyone

But not good at school?
Just raise your hand!

Wanna be more cool than anyone

But still use daddy's money?
Just raise your hand!

Shortly after being dumped
You met a new girl

Just raise your hand!

Singing from Monday to Friday

With no sign to rest
Just raise your hand!

Sing every day until you're sweaty

If you are not bored
Just raise your hand!

T-Icon has a limited number
Of spots available

Anyone who wants to apply
Just raise your hand!

Is Max Academy about to close down?

That's why you guys practice dancing
in the middle of the street like this.

Leave us alone, Indy!

We were just dancing for fun.

Now I know the reason

why Max Academy is going downhill.

Because you guys took the time
to have fun dancing like this.

Who is this guy?

They are from First Academy.

They've won The Icon
for three years in a row.

So they are very c*ck.

You guys go back and practice
your dance moves.

Four years that you've not won at T-ICON.

Whoa!

Or, if you guys want to lose
for the fifth consecutive year,

please go on and have fun!

Chalarm, don't fight. We should go.

Yes, you should obey your master.

Be nice and she'll have mercy on you.

Chalarm!

-Chalarm! Enough!
-Let me go!

Keep her away!

You stay here!

Don't do it.

Careful. Chalarm!

-Mork!
-Mork!

‪-Take that!
‪-Hey!

Hey!

Brother! This way!

Stop!

What happened?

Get them off!

Get up! Get up!

Get up!

‪Hey!

-Be still!
-Hey! I told you to stop!

These two have been bailed out.

Get up!

Hurry up!

You guys stay here for a night so you

-can stop being so arrogant.
-Damn it!

-What?
-Hey!

Don't do that!

Watch your back.

Go! Please go!

Please!

I think it's better if you stay still.

If you don't,
the police won't release you on bail.

Butt out!

How about you?

Your mother is abroad,

and you don't have a father.

Who will bail you out?

But not having a father
might be a good thing.

How so?

So there will be no fight.

Having a father to fight with
is better than not having one.

How do you know?

It's better than when you want to see him
you have to watch him on YouTube.

Who is Chalanthorn?

Your parents came to bail you out.

DETENTION ROOM

-Daddy!
-Mister!

Troublemaker!

How about sleeping in jail tonight?

We agreed that we would go home and talk.

Look at him!

I can stay here as you wish!

Why are you bailing me out?

-Chalarm!
-Please, sir!

Calm down, this is the police station.

Go home and we will talk.

Will you stay at our house?

I thought tonight was
another house's turn.

Let's go, sweetheart.

Mister Saifah.

Someone came to bail you out.

Uncle Max!

When Tem and I

performed our first concert together
as the band TEMMAX,

we were very happy.

Super excited!

Everything went well

until the concert ended,
then something happened.

What happened?

Some people came to our concerts
but they didn't like us.

About four or five of them

were waiting to meet us.

Then they told us that

we weren't good enough to be artists.

That we should stop singing
and do something else instead.

Back then I was so furious.

I wanted to punch their faces.

But the one who was rational
and stopped me from doing it was Tem.

How could my dad put up with
being criticized like that?

He didn't put up with it.

He decided to solve the problem
without being violent.

Then he told those people:

We are so sorry

that we are not good enough.

We promise

that we will try to improve ourselves.

Please give us another chance.

After he said that,

those people were stunned.

They didn't know what to do
and walked away.

Now you are teaching me, right?

That there is another solution

without hurting anyone.

If you want to be like your dad,

just singing and dancing well
is not enough, Sky.

You must always be conscious.

You must know that every action

has consequences.

And if you act without thinking,

the result will be something like this.

I am sorry, Uncle Max.

I won't disappoint you and my dad again.

Thank you for teaching me.

You are like my second father.

Don't look up to me so much.

I can't be your dad.

Well, it's late.
How about I drive you home?

And don't forget to thank Kongkwan.

She was the one
who called me to bail you out.

You are like my second father.

Max.

Pare is pregnant.

Huh?

You must get rid of this baby.

Do you know that what you did yesterday
was very serious?

At Max Academy,

we are an institute for teaching artists,

not creating th*gs.

But they insulted us first.

Do you expect us
to just stand still and listen?

Are the words
that they us to insult us true?

You have a duty

to develop yourself to be better

and to respond to them
with your good work,

not to respond with violence.

I am so sorry, master.

I took them, but I neglected them
and something like this happened.

So the punishment this time is

you guys have to take
all the teachers to the barbecue.

Master Pangpond!

Sorry, I'm just trying to
lighten the atmosphere.

I got that from you, Auto!

How about this?

The real punishment

is that everyone has to run

ten more laps around the field.

Does everyone understand?

Yes, sir!

If you guys understand
then go to your classes.

Don't forget to practice harder.

Because in three days

we will audition for the Intensive Course.

We will only select
ten people for this Intensive Course.

For anyone who wants
to apply for an audition,

tomorrow our school
will open for registration.

Okay?

Yes, ma'am.

Many people want to stop me

Because what they dream of
Doesn't come true as they hoped

No matter how hard you try

Just think carefully
If you want to stop me

Want to stop me

No matter how high I go

There is no limit

If your heart is in it

No matter how cold or hot it is
I will keep going

Even if it's hot like fire
I'll break through

No matter how cold it is

I will keep going

Even if it's hot like fire
I'll break through

Even if I fall, I will rise again

One thing I do is not give up

I'll fight for it

Even when you are

Trying to stop me

I am different

I don't give up

I think I'm not going to audition.

What? How come?

I think I am not good enough.

No!

We can do it!

We have to fight together, no matter what!

No matter how high I go

There is no limit

If your heart is in it

No matter how cold it is

No matter how cold it is
I'll break through

Even if it's hot like fire
I'll break through

No matter how cold it is
I'll break through

Even if it's hot like fire

I'll break through!

Don't get too excited, everyone.

Show your talent with everything you have.

I like your confidence.

-I told you I didn't do it!
-Hey!

And the last one

to be admitted to the Intensive Course

is...
