SPOOKY IN LOVE

EPISODE 3

How dare you blackmail me?

I didn't make a fuss
when you copied my designs last season.

But I didn't think you'd copy
my haenyeo diver dress.

It was a special dress I made
while thinking of my grandmother.

Hey, listen.

Why would I copy the design
of a lowly nobody like you?

You can run your mouth all you want,

but who would believe you?

Wait and find out if they believe me.

Circumstantial evidence
that you copied my designs

was caught on the surveillance cameras.

You came well-prepared, didn't you?

Give me that phone.

Put my name on the design.

Give me the phone!

- Say you used my designs!
- Give me the damn phone!

Da-mi!

Don't you have something to say?

What do you mean?

It wasn't a coincidence, was it?

The mountain where we first met,

the taxi driver's body in the trunk,
and now, Jang Eun-ju.

It's a huge stretch,
but let's say that was all a coincidence.

But for this to be by chance too?

What is it you want to say?

If it were you…

Let's talk about it another time.

You should go inside and warm up.

About earlier…

Thank you.

I might be used to how things are,

but that doesn't mean I'm not afraid.

Please take care of this for me.

You'd be better at handling it than me.

I swear, it was a setup.

There must be a mistake!

- Don't take any photos.
- It's all just a misunderstanding!

- Don't take photos.
- Ms. Kim!

- Ms. Jung!
- Can you prove it was…

- Ms. Kim.
- Yes?

Find out whoever did this.

- I'll demand reparation.
- Yes, ma'am.

Be gentle with her.

Come on out. Watch your step.

- Thank you. Please watch your step.
- Grandma?

This is where you'll be staying.

You'll rest in the lobby for a while,
and then we'll hand out the keys.

We'll show you where to go then.

- Shall we?
- Hey.

Grandma, are you in Jeju Island?

Why would I be there? I'm at the temple.

- Are you in Jeju Island?
- Yeah.

Are you sure you're not here?

What nonsense are you on about?

By the way, you must stay away
from large bodies of water today.

Okay.

Man, is she psychic or something?

Did you reach the airport safely?

Yeah, I'm almost there.

You didn't have to send a car.

I heard about the unfortunate accident.

I'll let you buy me a meal
if you're that grateful.

Sure.

I'll be going to Seoul soon,
so don't forget.

Why are you doing that yourself
when we have gardeners?

I heard about the nuisance.

Oh, it's been taken care of.

By the way,
did you have a visitor earlier?

They grow so quickly.

If you don't pluck them in time,
the weeds will take over the whole garden.

Hey.

You should stay with her
until Da-mi is moved to the burial site.

We can't both miss work,
so I had to come back.

But it just breaks my heart.

Okay, bye.

I was definitely within arm's reach,

but I get the feeling
she deliberately avoided grabbing me.

About earlier… Thank you.

I might be used to how things are,

but that doesn't mean I'm not afraid.

What was she thanking me for?

She's a strange one.

I heard you rejected Min-hwan's offer.

Yes.

I'll flesh out the strategy
I showed you last time.

Review it for me again.
I'm confident I can manage.

How did it feel to see him again?

Well…

Did you send me to Jeju Island
because of Min-hwan?

Yes, and since we're on the topic…

I quite like him. What about you?

You mean, romantically?

He's just a friend I went to school with.

I told you last time, didn't I?

To squash the rumor
that's going on about you,

marriage is the best option.

- Grandma.
- We can't have such rumors.

It's not just about the hotel.
What about our family's reputation?

Dispel the rumor yourself,
with a marriage.

Come on, this isn't the Joseon Dynasty.

You can't force me to get married.

Your marriage

isn't just any union.

What if the line of succession
passes to Dong-jun and Ha-ri?

There is the disadvantage
that their father isn't my biological son,

but you know that

when it comes to succession,
it's not just about blood.

With Min-hwan's help,
you could sign with a foreign hotel chain,

and naturally get together in the process…

I have no intention of doing that.

And I

don't plan to wait for long.

This is the right time

to clear up the rumors
that are going around about you.

Get married within two months.

If you don't,

I'll bring the Reina licensing talk
back to the table.

And Siena Hall too.

Well, at least

make it an engagement for now.

Since it was my engagement ceremony
that fell through.

The deadline remains the same. Two months.

On that note, I'd be happy with Min-hwan.

But like you said,
this isn't the Joseon Dynasty.

Still, he should at least
measure up to our family.

Okay. Let's get back to it.

Go on ahead.

Now, you're putting Seung-jae behind you

and getting out there
on blind dates, okay?

We bought everything you wanted.

Okay.

Does Grandma have no interest
in opening a department store?

Reina Department Store.

I'm sure I'd do a good job running it.

It's hard enough to get her
to give us another art gallery.

Forget about a department store.

Yeo-ri hasn't caught on yet, right?

About the hotel artworks.

Cheon Ha-ri?

Is that you, Min-hwan?

Wow, how long has it been?

Oh, my goodness. Look who it is.

How have you been?

I've been very well.

When did you come back to Korea?

Well, not too long ago.

We haven't met in a while.
How about we eat together?

I'm here to buy a gift, so I can't today.

I'll treat you to something nice soon.

You too, Ms. Ok.

Come in.

Chairwoman Baek.

Min-hwan.

It's been so long.

Min-hwan.

- This is for you.
- Goodness.

Oh, gosh.

It's beautiful.

You didn't have to get me anything.

It's so nice to see you in person
after just some phone calls.

- It really is.
- Let's sit down.

You haven't changed at all.
You look even more radiant.

Oh, don't you tease an old woman.

I heard you and Yeo-ri
didn't reach an agreement.

You sent her over knowing
how it would turn out.

I appreciate the cooperation.

Goodness.

Should we have dinner with Yeo-ri?

I'd love to.

What was it that you liked to eat?

Anything you like?

I don't really mind it much.

Hello, ma'am.

Ms. Cheon's in, right?

She just left to go home.

Should I give her a call?

No need.

She doesn't even take my calls after work.

I've spoiled her.

That's too bad.

We'll have to eat together
some other time.

No. I like this even better.

We can spend some quality time.

Right?

Let's just relax and eat something nice.

Sounds good.

Min-hwan and Ji-hwan aren't twins?

Keep your voice down.

My sister will k*ll me if she hears you.

The truth is, after my sister
learned she was infertile,

she adopted a baby from the US.

But right before she returned to Korea,

- she miraculously got pregnant.
- Oh, gosh.

That's why she delayed her return

and came back
after giving birth to Ji-hwan.

I wondered why she stayed abroad so long.

So Min-hwan was adopted, after all.

- Exactly.
- No wonder…

Could that be why they want to
send Min-hwan abroad to study?

What are you doing over there?

Yeo-ri, you're here too.

- Join us for some fruit.
- No, thank you.

We were on our way out.

Were you?

Let's go.

What do you want?

We agreed to a bet.

Can't it wait?

No way. A promise is a promise.

Keep your word.

If I win,

give me the game console
you bought yesterday.

That's not fair. It's mine.

Then beat me.

Hey, g*ng-uk!

- I think I forgot something.
- g*ng-uk.

- What?
- I got the office next to yours.

Then we're just neighbors.

We have a connection, don't we?

- Will you please…
- Here.

Thank you.

How long has it been?

What do you mean?
We met at Do-jun's wedding.

That's a really long time for us.

- Jeez, you still yap too much.
- Isn't that Prosecutor Im Seo-hyeon

from the Ministry of Justice's
Criminal Affairs Division?

What's going on? Do they know each other?

They don't just know each other.

What do you mean? Did they date?

I wouldn't say they dated.

Ever since
they went to the same university,

their relationship has been like
that of the Earth and the moon.

The Earth and the moon?

- Earth's gravity pulls the moon, right?
- Right.

Im pulls Ma close with all her might,

but Ma spins around her
without ever getting too close.

It's quite strange.

Whenever Ma is
transferred somewhere for work,

Im also gets herself transferred there.

And when Ma transfers somewhere else,
Im follows him there too.

Does she have connections
with the higher-ups?

That's what I don't get.

It's fascinating.

The Earth and the moon…

Yes?

Hello.

It's Mr. Kang, the CEO.

- Welcome.
- Thank you.

I didn't expect to get a call from you.

I felt bad that we didn't get to talk
after meeting at the department store.

It's been so long since we met,

and I wanted to treat you to a meal.

Was the drive here all right?

- Yes, it was fine.
- Was it?

The thing is, I heard somewhere

that G1A Group is trying to sell
Fiel Seoul to another company.

CL Group has decided to join

the bidding w*r to acquire it, right?

Well, we haven't
made our position official yet.

Your sources are pretty quick.

They say some things are open secrets,

but to be honest,
those in the business know everything.

Anyway, I heard you spearheaded

the Fiel Seoul acquisition.

Well, yes.

If you manage to buy Fiel Seoul,

will that cement your position
as the successor?

I'm so impressed, Mr. Kang.

So why did you want to see me today?

Oh, well…

From what I heard,

you'll need a great sum of money
to win the bid.

Do you have the necessary funds?

I'm aware that they have a massive debt.

If you happen to be
in need of more funds,

our Reina Resort could offer

a partial investment in your project.

I appreciate it,
but we have our own financial company.

Not to mention that this acquisition

was my father's long-held ambition,
so I have his full support.

Oh, yes. I'm sure you do.

Right, Chairman Kang
and his long-held ambition.

Let's work together
on another project some other time.

Sure.

Yes, I would love that.

Gosh, my silly daughter Ha-ri.

She never stopped talking about you,

but I can't reach her today
and I don't know where she went.

Hey, Ha-ri.

Take a seat.

This is the last time I'm visiting
out of loyalty as your ex.

Ha-ri, I think
I'll be out of here pretty soon.

That's impossible.

You can't get out
when they found her body.

It's just not official yet.

Let's patch things up when I get out.

Patch what up?

You ruined our company's
entire reputation.

Ha-ri, nothing's easier to manipulate
than public opinion.

My dad's already working on it.

That woman was a gold-digger
with a dirty past.

She used me from start to finish.

I believe you.

But my mom's turned her back on you.

The engagement's off,
and I'm supposed to cut you off.

Ha-ri.

The heart follows where the money is.

My dad's still going strong.
He has all the power I need.

As soon as I get out,

I swear on my life

that I'll help you take over Reina.

Why? What do you want?

I just can't seem to make sense of it.

How did you know where to go?

You just happened to be there
and found a body in the water tank,

and the prosecutor showed up too?

About the weird rumors
going around about you…

Do you still see ghosts or something?

You do, don't you?

You always go

a bit too far.

I can't let a possessed shaman
take over Reina.

If I reveal the truth about that,

Grandma will give up the idea
of letting you take over.

If that's all you have to say,
I'm leaving.

You that inhabit the body of this woman!

You evil spirit!

Begone!

Yeo-ri?

Yeo-ri.

Grandma.

Well done.

You held up well.

Shaman Baek said he suppressed the evil.

How do you feel?

Do you still see things?

I don't…

Anymore.

I guess they're gone.

Do it again.

- Again?
- Do it again.

A hotel is not a facility!

- It's where memories are made.
- It's where memories are made.

- Let's go, Reina!
- Let's go!

- Enjoy yourselves, everyone.
- Let's drink.

You want me to step down
when I indicted him?

That makes no sense.

Didn't I tell you to give in
when you had the chance?

Even so. You should've shielded me.

Don't you know how we work?

We do whatever the higher-ups tell us.

What if I were to get caught
in the backlash?

I must survive if I'm to help you out.

I have to say, Assemblyman Park

has still got some fight left in him.

Even after what his son did,
he managed to fight back hard.

TRANSFER NOTICE
CRIMINAL PROSECUTION 12, MA g*ng-UK

PROSECUTOR MA g*ng-UK TO COLD CASE UNIT

We had already decided to beef up
Criminal Prosecution

and revamp the Cold Case Unit anyway.

Solve some cases while you're over there.

I'll bring you back
when the time is right.

Don't you think things are going backward?

Why am I getting demoted
for solving a case?

Accept it and go with the flow.
It's not like this is anything new.

Fine. You wait and see.

Let's see what you say
if this happens to you.

Just go, "Oh, I guess this is it then."

"This is just how things are."

If you take everything to heart,
you'll end up dying young.

- Aren't I right?
- You are.

I'm not even surprised, you know.

Why are you more immature
than your junior?

Why do you keep yawning?
Did you not sleep well?

It's not that.

I just had a really stressful dream
that felt so real.

In the dream,

I was going somewhere when something
suddenly appeared in front of me.

It was my late grandmother.

- Okay.
- I asked her what was up.

She just stared at me,
then all of a sudden

she went and…

She hit me. She actually punched me.

"You good-for-nothing brat,

how dare you not visit me once
while I was alive?"

"You don't deserve a good night's sleep!"

She was exactly how I remember her.

You know those old canes
that old people used?

It hurt when she hit you, didn't it?

Don't even ask. It hurt badly.

Who are you?

That wasn't a dream.

Ms. Cheon?

Cheon Yeo-ri.
It's Cheon Yeo-ri, the heiress.

Mr. Ma.

It's Prosecutor Ma g*ng-uk.

We shared a bed.

You can't say that.

- People could get the wrong idea.
- What?

What brings you here? Where are the rest?

I didn't bring anyone else.

I'm here on my own.

I didn't think you'd step foot
in places like this.

They must know each other well.

They don't just know each other.
I think they're best friends.

We can't stand not getting answers.

- Right.
- Hello. How are you?

- Shall we?
- It's a pleasure to meet you.

Stop.

Maintain your distance.

Take three steps back.

Okay. Three steps back.

One, two, three.

- Sit down.
- Okay.

I'm doing this for your sake, you know.

I'm putting up a wall to keep you safe.

If you make the mistake
of sitting with me,

terrible things could happen to you.

That's why I paid in advance

to keep the tables around me empty.

So no one can even come near me.

I get that you want to flaunt your money,

but why bother to come here
just to drink alone?

"Why bother"?

It's not the same.

Here, if I look up from a drink,

I see people.

At home, if I look up from a drink…

Forget it.

- She emptied seven bottles of soju.
- She's out of it.

Every now and then, I want to drink

among some ordinary people.

Wait…

Do it properly then.

- What?
- Come and join us.

- Yes, sure.
- Shall we?

No, you can't.

- Go away. Leave.
- Excuse us.

If you join me,
you might get a taste of the afterlife.

If we do, then so be it.

Here.

Drink up.

You filled my glass, so I should empty it.

It's been so long

since someone poured me a drink.

- They must have a thing.
- They're playing hard to get.

It's not like that.

It's not.

Earlier, when I was talking about
the dream of my grandma,

what did you mean it wasn't a dream?

Oh, that?

You guys have no idea

that the dead come visit you
while you sleep, do you?

They come and watch you while you sleep.

They just stare

like this.

They sometimes give you sleep paralysis

or even strangle you.

People think they're just nightmares.

You think they're all dreams, don't you?

You would never know

when you only ever see one side of things.

You can't drink soju out of a bowl.

That will k*ll you.

What? Why would I die?

No, I mean if you drink this much at once,

it'll ruin your liver and your stomach.

What if you were to fall ill?

It'd be hard on you,
but also on your family.

Shut up.

You think my family would worry about me?

What makes you say that?

Do you even know me?

What do you even know about me
to say something like that?

What do people like you know

when you're able to drink in a crowd?

All you see with your two eyes
is the outer skin.

Skin.

This is a skin too.

Skin.

I don't need extra layers like these.

Why'd you take off the gloves
you're always wearing?

- In this pork skin diner…
- What?

Eating these pork skin…

Only seeing the skin that meets the eye…

- Wait…
- You're just a skin-deep prosecutor!

Skin-deep!

What the…

Skin-deep!

You should…

Be stripped…

Of your skin!

Pil-dong.

Can you lend me a shirt?

I think you'll have to go home like that.

What is this?

Man, never have I seen
such a drunken habit.

I mean, forget that she was drunk,
but calling me "skin-deep"?

And why should I know her?
I could say the same about her.

Besides, why not drink on her own at home
instead of reserving half the diner?

She calls herself the CEO of a hotel,

yet she pulls
a drunken stunt like that in public?

Man, it was a new shirt too.

Can't you at least react
at the bare minimum?

Hello?

Did you say something?

Oh, come on.

I'm sick of you. Get out.

You can't corner me like this
just because we're carpooling in your car.

I'm not cornering you.
We're here, so get out.

Oh, when did we get here?

Hello? You go ahead.

It's me, Cheon Yeo-ri.

What do you want?

Well, I think…

I might have acted out of line last night.

You mean ripping my shirt up?

Don't worry about it.
It's fine. I threw it away.

I'm not fine with what I did.

I can't stand owing anyone anything.

What did you send me?

Yes, I knew it.

It's Éthria.

Look at this. It's pure silk.

How much do these cost?

This is a high-end luxury brand,

so at least three million won?

What?

What's the nicest thing Ma can buy
without feeling guilty or tethered?

Pork belly.

What's the nicest thing he can accept?

Two cups of iced coffee?

That won't do. In that case,

I'll carry it very safely…

- Why would you take it?
- I should.

Silk shirts look better on me.

- You can't handle them.
- That's what you think.

You really can't handle a silk shirt.

- You don't know...
- Éthria goods are…

What? Mr. Ma.

That Éthria shirt…

Hello, good morning.

I'm here to see Ms. Cheon.

- Oh, Ms. Cheon?
- Yes.

- Please give me a moment.
- Sure.

- Hello.
- Yes, hi.

The hotel gym and sauna, right?

I'm Ms. Cheon's executive secretary.
Ms. Cheon isn't in at the moment.

She sent this to me today.

If you're her secretary,
pass it to her for me.

- No, I can't do that.
- Why not?

If Ms. Cheon sent it to you herself,

we're not allowed to
take it back on her behalf.

What else am I supposed to do with it?

Could you return it yourself,
if you don't mind?

Jeez…

Ms. Eom?

Wasn't the man who came to see
Ms. Cheon here before?

He was. This was his second visit.

Could he be a stalker following Ms. Cheon?

No, he's a Seoul
Central District prosecutor.

Could he be pretending to be a prosecutor?

I doubt that.

His office once sent a questionnaire
to our legal team.

Oh, right.

Do you know why
he wanted to see Ms. Cheon?

It seems that Ms. Cheon sent him a gift

and he wanted to return it.

That's a problem.

Whether it be from an official
or a private standpoint,

it's a problem if she sent a gift
to a Central District prosecutor.

Shouldn't we call a meeting
for damage control and countermeasures?

If there is a problem,
I'm sure Ms. Cheon will handle it.

No, no.

We need to take action. My hunch says so.

It's never wrong.

Yes.

That's my coffee.

Oh, I was wrong.

Wrong.

It's not that big a favor.
Why couldn't she just return it for me?

Jeez.

Why does she live so far away?

No wonder she reserved half the diner.

Where did they go?

They're the only thing that's missing.

Where did I take them off?

Who could that be?

I didn't order any delivery.

It's him again.

What's he doing here?

How did you find me?

I put your address in my GPS.

The GPS?

How did you get my address?

Don't you remember?

You gave it to me.

I did?

I wouldn't…

Hey.

Hello? Your address.

Tell me your address.

My address?

- My address is Seongbuk-go, Seoul…
- What?

Okay.

Can you put this into the GPS?

I'm really sorry.

I was in the middle of something…

Never mind that.

I just came here to return this.

I'm not able to come out right now.

Could you leave it by the gate?

Sure. I'll do that.

I'll leave these here as well.

You left them at the diner.

What?

Why does he have my gloves?

I don't need extra layers like these.

You should be stripped

of your skin!

Hey, you forgot your gloves.

Oh, no.

I must've been out of my mind.

I'll leave both of these together

- by the gate here.
- I did that without my gloves?

That's why I couldn't find them anywhere.

- What now?
- I've left them here.

I'm leaving now.

Should I ask?

Wait. Wait.

What?

What? Does she want me to come in?

Your house is really quiet.

Yes.

Look, Mr. Ma.

By any chance, every now and then,

do you happen to see things
you weren't able to before?

There's a tent in your living room.

Yes, well…

It's pretty cozy inside.

As you can see,
this house is too big for me alone.

It really is quite big.

My parents used to live with me,
though not anymore.

- Try the tea.
- Thanks.

Why did you want me to come in?

You don't seem the type to have guests.

Well, you came all this way,

so it felt wrong
to just send you on your way.

And I wanted to check something too.

Check what? With me?

So last night…

I was a bit out of line.

I touched you without my gloves…

Who's that kid?

Who is that?

- He's from next door.
- What's he doing here?

Playing hide and seek.

He comes here sometimes to play.

Oh, really?

He must be bored.

If it's because his parents aren't home,

- I'll play with him for a bit.
- No.

You can't do that.

You can't do anything.

I'm really good with kids.

You were here to return these, right?

You returned them and I received them.

All is well.

You can leave now.

Go on your way.

Goodbye.

- What was that?
- The wind.

The doors are closed.
It couldn't have been the wind.

Could it be a burglar?

What?

They could've scaled the wall
to hide somewhere.

I worked on a case like that.

Listen. I have a security system,

so that would be impossible.

Wait.

I could just be paranoid,

but it doesn't hurt to check,
and it won't take that long.

No.

It's not a burglar.

It must've been the kid.

You see, there's an open door in the back.

There is?

Goodness, what a sneaky kid.

Wait. Mr. Ma.

It's fine. It won't take long.

- I told you to go.
- Just wait.

Are you in here?

What?

You're not in here.

I'd better get going then.

Ms. Cheon, you'll come with me, right?

Where?

- Come here.
- What are you…

What are you doing?
How did you know this was a door?

What are you…

That must be him coming out.

Who do you mean?

Did you see that?

He moved so fast.

Gosh, it was like… He almost…

That was…

Excuse me.

Yes?

I'm really tired.

Please leave.

I was too dull-witted to catch on.

I'm sorry.

My coat.

What should I do now?

What do I do now?

Will he be okay?

What should I do?

What are you doing over there, kid?

Shouldn't you be going home?

Library hours are over now.

I can't go home.

That hurt.

I must be

way too on edge.

Why the hell won't this open?

- Hello?
- Hello?

He's in my home right now.

- Who?
- The kid who was playing hide and seek.

- The little boy?
- Yes.

He came all the way to my home.

Mr. Ma?

I'm here.

Over here.

Were you out here this whole time?

Sit down here with me.

What…

Who is that kid? He climbs walls too.

SOJU

You carry this stuff around with you?

It's a bag I keep handy
in case of emergencies.

Try to calm down.

Drink that first.

Do you feel a bit relaxed now?

What do you mean "relaxed"?

Are you going to say something
that'll shock me?

I have what it takes.
You can say whatever it is.

Go on.

Are you sure?

No way.

You weren't relaxed enough.

Here. You need to stay with me.

Have a few more sips of alcohol.

Gulp it down. Don't spit it out.

- He's not here.
- Okay.

How did you know the body was there?

- I was told.
- By whom?

By a ghost.

So she was telling the truth.

Should I just turn the lights on?

He doesn't like bright lights.

You're sticking too close to me.

I'm not standing that close.

Wait outside if you're scared.

I'm not scared, I'm just nervous.

- Do you live alone too?
- Yes.

Your place feels comfortable and cozy.

I owe that to my grandma.
She sweeps and cleans whenever she visits.

Huh? Wait…

Does the kid like cars?

He's a kid, so he'll be hiding.

You must be good with housework.

Yes. I'm good at everything I do.

Oh, this is just…

I always check out of habit.

It's a work-related habit.

Do you think he could've left?

That's strange.

Kids rarely leave
once they latch onto you.

Where do they stay if they don't go?

Why? What is it?

Kids tend to…

Yes?

Piggyback on people.

Get off me!

- Mr. Ma! Keep still!
- Get off me!

Go away!

You said you weren't scared!

No! No!

Go away!

He's off your back now!

He's gone!

He's gone!

He's gone?

He's gone?

SPOOKY IN LOVE

What do we do now?

More ghosts will come for you.

What happened to the other people
you came in contact with?

The ghosts that visit you early on

will be the nasty ones
that harass and torment others.

You believe in all this?

- There must be something about ghosts.
- Look.

Look at him stuffing his face
with all that garlic.

What's gotten into him?

You swore on your life

that you'd help me take over Reina
once you get out of here.

Did you mean that?

You bet I did.

It makes no sense that a m*rder*r like him
is getting released!

Park Seung-jae.

I plan to find a weakness
instead of going after you,

Cheon Yeo-ri.
