Noona!

Noona...

Noona!

No...

[Episode 13]

What happened...

Kokdu...

Kokdu, your face...

Who...

are you?

- Kokdu.
- You know I'm not asking your name.

Are you a ghost?

Are you a spirit?

Are you an angel or a demon?

What in the world is Kokdu?

I am the god of the dead,

and the death that everyone wants to avoid, fears,

and does not love.

That's me.

Whatever that is...

it means that you are not human.

Just think of it as a god saving face.

How could you compare the god of the afterlife to a mere stick!

I'm telling you that Do Jin Woo can't come back!

Kokdu is alive and well like this here, so how could he return!

You're right...

You said it from the beginning...

that you weren't human...

You said that you weren't Do Jin Woo.

I was too caught up with what was visible and couldn't realize it.

Then Do Jin Woo...

W-Where is Do Jin Woo?

Did you k*ll him?

Did you k*ll him and pretend to be him?

I didn't k*ll him. He just died.

All I did was

borrow his empty body whose spirit departed.

You said you're the god of the dead.

You said you're the king of the afterlife.

Why are you in front of me looking like a man? It makes no sense!

Because it is the wish of human beings.

Just like how it is the wish of human beings

for someone not to die, get hurt, or disappear,

it is also the wish of human beings for someone

to die, get hurt, or disappear.

Who would ever wish for something like that...

When you encounter an evil you can't escape,

when you suffer from injustice you are powerless to deal with...

haven't you ever wished that the god who made the world like this

would fix everything for you?

You've never felt like someone needed to die

in order for you to live?

No way...

The child ab*ser

and the r*pist... did you k*ll them all?

No, right?

You didn't.

There's no way you would have done that...

You are...

The Kokdu that I know is such a good person.

It's not true, right?

Tell me it's not true!

Han Gye Jeol, look at me.

I am merely Kokdu.

From the very beginning to now, I have been the same person you know.

My personality is nasty, I'm whimsical, and I talk harshly.

I'm not a good person,

but I'm also not a monster.

- Please don't cry...
- Don't touch me.

You might be a god, like you said.

You've probably never cried because life was hard,

and you've probably never run away because it was too much to handle.

You've probably never seen your family die before your eyes

and gone mad because of it.

Since you don't even die, death would have been so easy for you.

It was because death was easy,

that you could talk about other people's deaths so easily.

Such an inhumane heart feels like a monster to me,

and so...

I've grown afraid of you...

You asked me what I think about you, right?

I'm sorry for my late reply.

I...

Kokdu, I...

Lov-

As despair,

evil,

and eternal darkness,

I shouldn't have

hoped for a ray of light.

Turn off the light.

You should eat something...

I told you to turn off the light!

Am I a joke to you now too?

Do you find me funny for breaking down, unable to control my feelings?

Why didn't you do something

if you were going to be like this?

Then what?

Should I have strangled her since I'm a monster?

You should have told her

that you've been hurting

and afraid.

You should have told her that every day for a thousand years was

so painful and torturous that you wanted to die.

You should have blamed her, saying "How could you criticize me when this is all your fault!"

She doesn't know Seol Hui.

She wouldn't remember even after she died.

How could I explain and get upset at someone who doesn't remember anything?

I thought about it many times...

about what would happen once Han Gye Jeol finds out everything,

about how much she would despise me.

But today,

she looked sad.

All she did was cry.

I saw how sad she was, but I couldn't even tear up.

My heart hurt so badly like it was being torn apart, but no tears came to my eyes.

and yet, no tears came to my eyes.

Maybe in the process of k*lling all those people,

did my heart die, too?

Or have I really become a monster...

I can see why she'd be afraid of me.

I can see why she'd find me despicable.

Since I am despicable in my own eyes, too...

♪ No matter how hard I try to erase you ♪

♪ The trace of you is everywhere in my space ♪

I will see my child grow

to be 20 and 30 years old

with you.

Really?

But on one condition.

Even if I were to turn into a horrible monster,

don't abandon me.

How could you do this to me...

How dare you!

How dare you promise me a future!

How!

Gosh, Noona. I'm hungry!

I starved all day today. Let's eat.

Let's quickly eat.

Hurry! Hurry up and come out quickly!

I'm sorry.

You're ill...

I must've been out of my mind.

You know that I'm really patient, right?

So, holding in my hunger is nothing to me,

but that damn kidnapper

wouldn't give me anything to eat all day!

That b*stard...

If he kidnapped you, he should at least feed you something.

I'm just saying...

What kidnapper feeds you?

That's not kidnapping. That'd be like he was raising me.

Will this be enough to replenish your strength?

What should I make for dinner?

Should I fry some oysters and fresh ginseng for you?

You see, you see?

You realize how precious I am after I disappear, right?

So be good to me while I am here.

Rather than fixing your brain* after you lose your cow.
[It should be "fix your fence"]

- Fix what?
- Your brain a bit.

But why do they say fix your brain after losing a cow?

Does it mean to fix your mental state?

I know, right?

I want to know, too.

How do you fix your brain a bit?

If you know, then tell me. So, I can make tons of money.

That's not right?

If it's not, then forget it.

Can't believe you're this stupid. That's why you got had twice!

You should just quit your police job.

How could you protect anyone when you can't even protect yourself?

Hey, hey! Do you even know how cowardly he attacked me?

Because it was me,

it ended with just a few band-A*DS.

He did what to my younger brother?

Attack you from behind?

Whoa!

Let me just catch you!

I'll k*ll you.

Now you seem more like Han Gye Jeol.

What?

You being bold and crazy like this is the noona that I know.

Is that something you should say to your noona, who feeds you well?

- I should beat you to death before you-
- Hey.

Whoever he is, don't k*ll him.

- What?
- Then I would have to arrest you.

I don't want to meet my family as a m*rder*r.

Hey...

How could you be so heartless...

I'm your family, so you should go easy on me.

You said that if families hide a criminal,

it doesn't count as a crime of concealment.

I'm a cop.

That doesn't apply to a cop.

So...

don't do anything bad.

If you did,

don't get caught.

Why?

Do you, by chance

have something to tell me?

No...

I don't.

What should I do...

What do I need to do

to make my turbulent heart be at ease?

I came here before

a long time ago.

My mother had passed away

and I felt that it was so unfair.

I don't even have a dad,

so why did you take my mother away, too?

Why did I have to hear people call me an orphan?

Why did it have to be me?

Did I really do something so wrong?

As a child, I wanted to ask God these questions.

So...

did you find your answer?

No.

Supposedly, nobody knows the answer, not even the priest,

about why one person must lose their supportive dad,

why another must lose their daughter, who was their pillar of hope...

Or why someone must lie in a hospital bed being envious of their healthy friends...

Then he said this.

"So...

you are not the only miserable one."

It's embarrassing,

but those words

comforted me greatly.

Even though I can't know why it had to be me,

but hearing that others were as miserable as I was

made the feelings of unfairness go away.

It's still like that.

Why did it have to be me...

What did I do that was so wrong...

Why I'm so miserable when I like people...

Even though I still don't know the reason,

I know what I need to do to make myself feel better.

I want...

someone to suffer and be as miserable as I am.

I want him to be reminded only of the good times

and laugh,

then cry,

and finally, go crazy.

Why are you giving me this...

I heard that priests are close to gods.

Please deliver this message to a god I know.

Become extremely miserable

without me.

I thought it might be you.

And it really was you.

Since we met like this, let me ask you a question.

Why did you deceive me?

Why didn't you tell me when you weren't even human?

Why didn't you tell me when I was suspicious of you?

Do you know how much turmoil I was in while you were deceiving me?

Whether you betrayed me or not, I just let myself be had,

and I insisted it was okay that you had multiple personalities as long as I remembered you.

And now you say you're a m*rder*r,

but all I could remember was you asking me not to abandon you even if you're a monster.

It drives me crazy to think about

how you felt saying that.

Why did you just watch me while I became crazy for you?

You knew all too well that the hell was at the end of this road!

Why?

I was scared.

Your job is to save lives...

You said you could never forgive m*rder...

I was afraid you would despise me.

I was afraid that, as a result,

I would end up alone again.

Still, you should have given me a choice.

Whether I love or hate you,

forgive or report you, save or k*ll you...

You should've let me run away from you

before I went crazy for you and said that it's okay if you're a m*rder*r or a monster!

I'm sorry I made you suffer,

but I don't regret a thing, Han Gye Jeol.

So I can't even apologize to you.

Even if I had a chance to go back and become honest with you,

I would deceive, charm, and make you go crazy for me,

so that you won't

want or think of running away.

Is it because you're not human?

You're so shameless.

Since being shameless is better than being miserable.

Han Gye Jeol.

Without you,

I was miserable enough already.

Even this moment...

Can I stop being miserable now?

- Could we meet once again-
- No.

I already know how this story ends,

and it's such a sad ending.

Although I received the love of a god,

I would grow old and wrinkly by myself,

and I'd end up like the miserable cicada because of god's change of heart.

I won't change.

Just as I liked the young Han Gye Jeol, I would also like the old Han Gye Jeol.

Even if you don't change, I will change, Kokdu.

I would envy you for remaining young, growing anxious,

and go crazy in the end.

You know,

I want to live being satisfied with growing old and wrinkly together.

I don't care if you're not a doctor or a chaebol.

All I need is for you to be human...

And yet, you couldn't even be that for me.

When you say "human,"

I don't know if you mean having a human heart,

being born human or dying as a human.

But if you want it,

I'll even try to be that.

T-That's...

possible?

I don't know how, but I'm going to try.

Give me a chance to try.

Give me some time.

Until then,

please cut me some slack.

In return,

call me...

when you figure out how.

Since I need an excuse for the sake of my pride.

Don't you have any pride?

You said he didn't even call you once during that time!

Yet you're debating whether you should break up with him or not?

Who said I'm debating it.

I'm going to break up with him today.

When you break up with him, report back to me right away.

But...

do I really have to break up with him right now?

I mean, the days are getting colder,

so I could break up with him in spring after winter passes!

Is your boyfriend like preparing for winter?

Is he like making kimchi?

After winter passes, my a*s!

You'll be in big trouble like this!

Big trouble, my foot.

Just imagine Detective Han finds out what you did to his noona.

If it was me, I would k*ll you and go to hell.

Fine! I'll break up. I'll break up with him!

I'll break up with him. Happy?

Yeah, break up with him!

Who are you breaking up with?

I'll call you back later.

What happened to your face?

Did you get hurt?

How?

It's all part of the police's job. It's nothing serious.

What do you mean it's nothing serious? You're quite hurt.

My family member is a doctor. She said I'll be fine.

- What does she know about anything...
- Excuse me?

Doctors usually have trouble diagnosing their family members.

I see.

What about food? Did you eat well?

Noona made me boiled chicken.

Boiled chicken?

You might have stomach issues, and she fed you heavy chicken fat?

Seriously, ER guys only know how to stitch up external wounds.

They don't know the dangers of internal wounds!

How did you know that my noona was an ER doctor?

Well... well...

you told me last time, Han Cheol.

- I did?
- Yes.

Geez, your memory is really bad.

Is that why you want to break up?

Because my memory is bad and I'm not very smart?

Yes...

What can I do to make you like me?

Should I take a medical school entrance exam?

Gosh, are you kidding me?

Do you know how hard it is to get into medical school?

You're right. With my brain, it might take several years. But I'll try.

So until then, delay breaking up with me.

- Are you threatening me right now?
- No, I'm negotiating.

You smiled.

Then...

Gosh!

- What...
- Have you grown senile, Oh Gyeong Seung?

Why do I need to spy on someone in my own shop!

That's because they're not just strangers!

If they're not strangers, then who are they?

Aigoo, what's the point of you having those big eyes?

It's a waste of your double eyelids...

Look.

That guy over there is Dr. Han's younger brother,

and that girl was that annoying sh*t who fought with Dr. Han over Mr. Johns Hopkins.

You still can't figure it out?

Oh! Then this is no good!

He shouldn't do this to his sister!

Exactly!

It's a total mess! It's such an absolute mess.

He's not going to become human by eating mugwort and garlic.*
[Reference to Korean fable]

You know it won't be easy for him to call you,

so why do you keep waiting for him to call you?

Ow! Ow, that hurts...

[Ms. Oh]

Why are you bothering her, dragging her out of her home while resting?

I called Dr. Han out because I missed her.

You think I called her to tell her something?

Oh Gyeong Seung!

It's fine.

I was about to come here because I didn't want to be home by myself.

Why don't you want to be by yourself?

All I would do if I'm alone is think useless thoughts.

Useless thoughts?

What kind of useless thoughts?

- Dr. Han, you know something, don't you?
- Of course!

If the more thoughts you have, the more you shouldn't be alone.

Bored demons start talking to you if you do.

- Demons?
- Yeah! So,

you need to always watch out for demons, like that demon!

Are you calling me a demon right now?

Shoo!

Go away, demon! Shoo!

Shoo! Go away!

Oops, I forgot that we ran out of milk.

Hurry, hurry.

Gosh, he's quick when it comes to these things.

Did you really find the way already?

First, let's match our lips first.* [Slang for being on the same page]

Are you seriously saying that you would become a real human being through a kiss?

Like the Frog Prince or the Beauty and the Beast?

Just say that you will eat mugwort and garlic instead!

You'll gain some sense if you eat it for a hundred days. That would be more believable.

This has nothing to do with that.

Then why are you saying we should kiss!

- Do I seem that easy to you?
- Why are you suddenly bringing up kissing?

Who's the one who said we should match lips!

We should be on the same page beforehand so that we can get questioned.

- Q-Questioning?
- You didn't get the call?

They told us to come in as witnesses for the expl*si*n investigation.

If we go to the station without a plan, you'd probably tell them everything.

So I was saying we should match our lips beforehand.

You meant that kind of matching lips...

W-Well, what's there to be on the same page about?

There was nobody around at the time.

We can insist we were looking for my younger brother

when a b*mb exploded far away from us

and we didn't see anything

because we were rushing to get out.

At times like this, your brain moves really quickly.

Of course.

Even humans can their brains that much.

If they feel their brains aren't enough, they get help from other losers.

They may not be as powerful as a god.

They live in a way where a god isn't needed.

Do you hate it that much that I'm in this world?

I'm not really here because I want to, either.

If not, then what?

It's a punishment.

Why are you being punished?

What, did you betray your country?

Or did you rebel against god and plot an overthrow?

Something like a fallen angel?

I loved a woman.

He told me not to love her, but I did.

He told me not to wait, but I waited.

Though that woman passed me by like the wind,

I committed the sin of remaining behind.

For that sin of being mindlessly foolish,

I was punished.

I will protect you, Seol Hui.

Han Gye Jeol, what's wrong?

Are you not feeling well? Should we go to the hospital first?

It's okay.

By chance,

was the woman that you loved

Seol Hui?

How do you know that? Did you remember something?

I did.

I remembered everything.

Why have I been forgetting that all this time?

Some guy shoved a ring in my face

and asked, "Are you Seol Hui?"

Are you Seol Hui?

I said, are you Seol Hui?

He said it in a loud voice.

A human can't forget that. How could he?

What, and what was that you said again?

"After it had bloomed in me a long time ago, it never faded."

And "Seol Hui became the source of my misery and suffering and my only salvation!"

Gosh.

They're such memorable words that I can't even forget it.

Well, even though I was a warrior, my family was well-known for their literary prowess.

You keep saying things that make me even angrier!

That means you followed me around thinking that I was really Seol Hui!

After you found out I wasn't, you were so mean to me...

- Makes me mad the more I think about it!
- When did I do that?

You didn't have a nurse, so I had Gak Shin work for you.

And you said the victim was wrong, so I found Park Choong Seong for you.

Is that being mean? How is that being mean!

You're saying that was because of Seol Hui! Because I looked a bit like Seol Hui!

Oh, gosh, the time's already gotten this late?

I guess she was really pretty?

That you can't forget her even after a thousand years?

How does she resemble me? What part of her looks like me?

Her eyes? Her nose? Her lips?

What, toes?

- Oh, it's your brother!
- Where?

Where do you think you're going!

Hey...

W-What's this...

Why did you follow me like this?

Oh, my! My goodness!

Gosh, are you crazy?

Why aren't you more careful? There are lots of eyes around here.

What if you get caught?

- If I get caught...
- Get caught doing what?

So you were looking for Detective Han

when a b*mb exploded on the other side?

And both of you couldn't see a thing because you were too busy running away...

Yes.

Really? Something's strange.

W-Why? What's strange?

CSI told me that they found

a receiver in the expl*si*n debris.

A receiver? What's that?

To put it simply,

it wasn't a timed detonation b*mb that explodes after a set time passes,

but it's a b*mb that only explodes when the culprit presses the button.

The b*mb went off because someone probably got close to the refrigerator...

but since nobody got hurt,

this doesn't make sense.

What's so strange about that?

The guy probably pressed the button by mistake.

Is that so?

I guess we'll find out when we watch it.

Watch what?

Oh, he's here.

I brought you the footage.

Thanks.

W-Well, w-what's that?

Oh, this is the body camera footage of a cop who was dispatched there.

He supposedly arrived right before the expl*si*n,

so it should have captured most of what happened.

Hey, Detective Han, watch it with me. My eyes aren't so good these days.

I can't. I need to use the bathroom.

Gosh.

Why's he getting bowel problems at such an important moment?

Aigoo!

Do something.

Do what?

Whether you erase his memory or stop time, do something!

I can't do stuff like that. I'm not that kind of god!

Then hypnotize him! You did it so well before.

Detective Kim. What's your name?

My name is...

Nice! I found it!

What? What's this?

Geez...

What are you trying to do? What if someone were to see you!

So it was you.

The one who erased the footage.

Yeah, I did it.

I thought there would be a reason why my noona protects you with life and death.

I thought something might happen to that dummy if you got caught.

But how could you so shamelessly reveal your identity like this?

If things go wrong, I could arrest you and put you in jail.

Even if I were to get caught,

I thought it would be polite to introduce myself properly to the one who protected me.

That is why I came.

Okay.

Let's hear who you really are.

Are you a magician? Someone with superpowers?

Oh, since you're rich,

did you want to try out being batman because you were bored?

Why did you k*ll people like that?

I am the god of the afterlife and the god of the dead,

Kokdu.

A g-god?

Humans no longer needed a god,

but the Creator's greedy desire to keep being needed by humans,

I am doing his work, which some call a miracle,

divine punishment, or m*rder.

I don't know about the afterlife,

but in this world, I am nothing more than a sword of judgment

the Creator wields however he wants.

You're not human?

Damn...

it doesn't make sense...

It really doesn't make any sense, but why do I believe it?

So you're like the ghost when we say, "Why aren't the ghosts taking him away"?

I don't think I said I was a ghost?

Regardless, it means you're not a human being.

Are you guys only interested in whether I'm human or not?

Don't you care about what thoughts I have or what pain I feel?

Being human? What's that? Why's that so important?

I'm a detective who catches humans, not gods.

I'm well-versed in South Korean law

but I don't know anything about the law of the afterlife.

So I don't know if it's right for me to arrest you,

and honestly, I don't know what law to apply against you

if I were to arrest you.

That doesn't mean I'm completely on your side.

I'm always ready to report you if needed,

and since I also broke the law,

I'm ready to give up my job as a cop.

And I can kind of let other things slide,

but...

the fact that my noona is dating a Grim Reaper bothers me the most!

How dare you compare me to Grim Reaper!

In any case, I need time to think,

and I will watch you from a distance.

That's really all I can say to you.

Great.

I needed time, too.

The time to make you guys safe.

The time to put Kim Pil Soo and that k*ller b*stard in jail.

We can...

talk about the rest after that.

No, you can't.

I will arrest Kim Pil Soo and that k*ller b*stard with my human hands.

Gods should stay out of it.

Then how about we work together?

If my powers and your experience come together,

I feel like we could catch them sooner.

Deal.

Well, don't tell Noona that I found out who you are.

I don't want her to walk on eggshells around me.

Deal.

Damn...

That guy Do Jin Woo is the problem!

After Golfer Jung met that guy, he became more bossy and a*usive.

All I did was tell him

this was a breach of contract because he wouldn't train,

and he did this to me!

I may not be able to use my arm again.

And yet, he hasn't even called me once! Not a single phone call!

This is the hotel that Golfer Jung is staying in after running away from his training camp.

It's clear from a quick glance that it's a luxury suite.

And he even has a bodyguard.

Based on our investigations, Boolhwa Group is paying for all of this.

Why would Boolhwa Group covet Golfer Jung

that they would cause so much trouble to have him?

Could it be connected to Golfer Jung being the cover model of Pilseong Bio's new drug?

The public's attention is on whether this is part of Boolhwa Group's plan

to acquire Pilseong Bio.

It's about time he gets here...

Stop.

I knew this was going to happen.

Hyungnim.

The ones who tried to k*ll me are saying that,

and you want me to just sit back and watch?

What were you going to do when you got there? Let me hear it.

I should argue with them.

So how were you going to do that?

Like a man?

Geez... your plans are quite elaborate.

Does your plan not involve any evidence or testimonies?

I'm the evidence. I am!

Drugging you and letting you drown to death...

Right now, that's only your words.

You can't do anything with that.

I want to help however I can.

While helping his hyung fight against the Yuan Dynasty,

he ended up being ex*cuted...

[Nam Se Ri]

Geez... I gave Golfer Jung my room.

Gosh, what kind of vendetta does Kim Pil Soo have against me?

Gosh, he's so troublesome!

Exactly. I wonder why he went through the trouble of publicizing a power-tripping scandal?

The more they bother Jung Yi Deun, the more awkward things would be for them.

It would do no good for them.

Gosh, Master Kokdu.

Isn't that all to turn him into the boy who cried wolf?

By striking first without any evidence and saying that he was power-tripping and assaulted...

That's how you destroy the image of a politician or a celebrity.

Then no matter what truth you speak later, the public won't believe you.

They would make Jung Yi Deun into a liar, I see.

That's right.

Because they want to hide something?

T-That's probably true.

If it's just that, he would just k*ll off the manager.

It would be a lot cleaner to k*ll him and blame Jung Yi Deun for it.

I'm asking why he let the manager live and overreaching right now.

You're right.

What is the truth about Jung Yi Deun

that he wants to hide even by overreaching.

He would have been scared to reveal to the world that he had participated in clinical trials.

It wasn't clear what it was, and it wasn't like his name was on it,

so why would he have wanted to come out and become publicly shamed?

[Nam Se Ri]

Maybe Jung Yi Deun...

is Nam Se Ri?

Excuse me?

I thought it was strange he kept obsessing over contracts and sponsorships.

Since he's a famous guy,

if he had used a fake name that only Kim Pil Soo would know...

Wait. Oh!

Nam Se Ri. Male Se Ri!

The golfer! It makes sense!

I'm not approaching it like that!

Wait, Master Kokdu!

Then, I should take Golfer Jung to the hospital right away.

Why? Is he not feeling well?

Master Kokdu.

Do you know why companies resort to accounting fraud?

Why are you suddenly bringing that up?

So that they can make what's abnormal seem normal.

The fact that this list shows everyone's results as normal,

means in reverse that there may have been a problem with their health.

They wanted to hide something? For example,

a negative side effect of the clinical trials?

If Jung Yi Deun really is Nam Se Ri,

- he could be ill?
- Yes.

There's something I want to discuss with you.

Let's meet at the cafe.

I come when he tells me to come

and I go when he tells me to go.

You're so easy...

Do you even have the pride to make excuses for?

Why do you need pride?

It's hard enough as is.

What are you doing?

I'm preventing my girlfriend from freezing to death.

You know that's not what I'm asking!

Why do you keep showing up suddenly and scaring me like that!

Because you keep calling me.

I did?

What, do you get summoned if I just think about you?

Do you think I'm stupid?

If we'd meet every time I think about you, we would meet all day.

Are you confessing to me right now?

That you thought about me all day?

Well, I am confessing that I thought about you all day.

If I think about a person for a long time,

I can go right beside them.

Just like right now.

So, i-is this the important matter you wanted to tell me? A confession?

Yeah.

Let's kiss.

Gosh, this guy! Seriously! Stop joking around!

I'm not joking.

Well...

Why do you want to kiss?

Don't try to cover it up as friendship, affection, or desire.

Your face looks like someone who challenged another to a dual.

It's similar,

since I'm going to fight against your fate.

I wanted to keep the promise I made to you before it gets any later.

Promise?

Regardless of the ill-fated connection you had with Kim Pil Soo in your previous life,

I promised to make sure things would be different in this life.

I would need to know your previous life properly to make your life even a tad bit better.

Wait, wait, how does that have anything to do with kissing?

When a god kisses, he can see the person's previous life.

How does that make any sense?

Well, then again,

what actually makes sense in our relationship, anyway?

But it's not like this is our first kiss.

If what you said is true,

what were you doing not looking at it then?

You think a kiss is like a monodrama of Han Gye Jeol's life?

I can't see everything like a panorama, you know.

Every time we kiss, I can see a little bit.

Just a little bit at a time.

Really?

Then well...

how was I from your perspective?

Did I have a good life?

Was I happy?

You were...

braver than anyone...

Oh Hyun!

Oh Hyun!

prettier than anyone,

and you loved more radiantly than anyone else.

Really?

Yeah. At least from what I saw,

you were happy.

Okay.

Well...

Since you want to prevent my misery,

there's no need for me to say no.

You who stole my man's morning...

you, too, shall never see the morning.

Kim Pil Soo!

Kokdu, what's wrong? Are you okay?

Why? Did...

things turn out that badly for me?

Do I have a bad ending?

It was a perfect happy ending.

You had six children,

and over twenty grandchildren.

I didn't see Kim Pil Soo, and no danger anywhere.

Then why did you get so angry?

Because you had such a good relationship with your husband,

I suddenly got so jealous.

Oh, I was wondering...

I pray that things will be different in this life...

I pray that things will become even just a tad bit better because of me...

God...

please.

I found him.

I-I-I found him!

Who is Nam Se Ri?

Is Nam Se Ri

really Jung Yi Deun?

Tell me!

Yeah.

Don't move!

It's really nice to see you again, Mr. Choi Tae Woong.

Actually, never mind. Let's first start by saying our names again.

What's your real name?

Jung Yi Deun's health examination results came out,

and he has thyroid cancer.

It's not like Jung Yi Deun didn't receive health examinations before.

Then,

does it make sense that it was never discovered before?

All those examinations

were all done at Pilseong Hospital.

done at Pilseong Hospital.

Master Kokdu...

I will k*ll them.

Whether they're Pilseong Hospital or Pilseong Bio,

politicians or reporters,

I'll k*ll everyone who was responsible for making this drug that kills people.

Even though my anger wouldn't subside after tearing them apart and chewing them up!

k*lling a few people won't fix anything.

- We need to come up with a plan.
- Oh, yes.

They say that Golfer Jung can make a full recovery since it's only in the first stage.

He should be fine if he does the press conference quickly and starts his treatments.

What press conference?

Shouldn't he tell the world you would get cancer if you took that drug?

The only person who can testify to that right now is Golfer Jung.

Not Jung Yi Deun.

Send him far away somewhere like the U.S.

Have him get treated there.

Why?

Because of his fate?

Because you're afraid something might happen to him while helping you?

I will not let him

get involved in my affairs in this life.

Find another way.

What kind of ill-fated connection

did she have with Kim Pil Soo...

Master Kokdu!

Really? You really caught him?

Of course.

I'm Han Cheol!

You think I'll just let the guy who tried to k*ll me go?

I'm proud of you, my younger brother!

But we're already getting calls from the higher-ups to turn him over to another team.

Kim Pil Soo is probably behind it, right?

Yeah, so I wanted to do everything with certainty,

and that's why I called you in as a witness as well. That's okay, right?

Yeah.

You're here.

Hello.

You're ready, right?

Oh, yes...

Mr. Tae Joong Shik.

Yes...

that's him. You got him.

Noona, what's wrong? Are you okay?

Gosh...

I'm okay.

My head just hurts...

The ending decided by god is always sad.

The word "happy" simply cannot exist in his dictionary

for he can't stand to see people being happy.

Gosh, why's this wound not healing?

What in the world is going on?

This is the first time in my thousand years of existence!

After living a thousand years, you see all sorts of stuff.

- Gosh, you're making such a fuss.
- But still...

Still, we should know why this is happening.

Something really bad might happen to you at this rate.

I don't know...

A reason...

Is that it?

What?

The moment I got stabbed,

I felt a sense of deja vu.

I guess I got pierced in the same spot before.

Maybe my wound got infected because I got pierced there twice?

Because he got pierced there twice?

You think I would know why everything happens in this world?

I'm not the Creator.

- The Creator?
- Yeah.

I figured it out.

Master Kokdu.

This is...

a sign. A very ominous sign...

A sign?

The god of the dead says he will remain in this world,

and that there may be a disruption in the order of this world and the afterlife.

The Creator wouldn't just allow that to happen.

So,

he's showing it to you in advance

what pain you would suffer

and what scars you would be left with

if you remain in this world

and reject God's mission, Master Kokdu.

If it cracked, I could just get it fixed...

Why would you be anxious about that?

Don't be anxious...

Excuse me.

Hello.

Well, this...

this ring...

I came to get my ring fixed.

And so? What happened after that?

They received severe punishment, all right.

Grandmother!

It's you, right? The grandmother from Eonju Hospital!

That's right.

Well, what about your hand? Is your hand okay?

Of course.

Maybe it's because you're skilled as a doctor,

but it's perfectly fine.

Gosh, what a relief.

But this is so fascinating! How did we end up meeting here?

That's what you call a fated connection.

You end up meeting the people you're fated to meet somehow.

Oh, right. You can fix his ring for me, right?

- You'll fix it and wear it?
- Yes.

Just like how there are fated connections between people,

there are fated connections between people and items.

Some items are bad from the start

and push their owners into misery.

I'm telling you this because you fixed my hand,

but you should give up on this item.

Oh, no, I can't.

It's too expensive for me to give up.

How expensive is it?

Well...

it's priceless. I can't put a figure on it.

If I can't get it fixed here, I'll ask a different store.

You have said that the azaleas

bloom both in this and the afterlife?

I have wanted to bloom with you in both life and death,

but since I cannot be with you even in this life,

I shall return it to you.

The carriage will stop tonight at a mountain near Jeodong.

Hide yourself in the cave.

I will come to escort you away.

Have you forgotten where it is that I am going to?

If I disappeared, they would k*ll both of our families.

Our nation will be destroyed, and there will be a bloodbath.

Oh Hyun!

Oh Hyun!

Let go!

No...

Oh Hyun! No!

Even if I were to forget myself,

how could I have forgotten you?

You who became miserable

because of me.

The tribute lady...

ended up repeating the fate of losing someone dear to her

and committing suicide in this life.

And the warrior...

was bound to the afterlife as Kokdu.

And so, their punishment was that

they could never meet.

[Kokdu: Season of Deity]

Do you remember Seok Hui?

If Seol Hui appeared,

will that make you happy?

No. I'm sure she was miserable without me.

This is why I can't let you go.

It's time to end it.

I want to become just someone

without any memories or any incident.

Let's break up.
