01x03 - Episode 3

Post by bunniefuu »

Are you Seol Hui?

I said, are you Seol Hui?

Who's Seol Hui?

I don't know, either.

What?

Her name, her face, her personality...

I can't remember any of it.

The only thing I know

is that it's the name
engraved on this ring,

and that after it had bloomed in
me a long time ago, it never faded.

And so, Seol Hui became the source of my
misery and suffering and my only salvation.

How do I know someone that
you don't even know, Professor?

Instead of answering so
insincerely, take a look at this.

Looking at this ring,
you don't feel anything?

"Oh, this is my ring,

it has finally returned
to me after so long."

Don't you feel a deep sense of joy?

I am feeling a deep sense of aggravation
from having to listen to your nonsense.

Don't listen so carelessly.

My entire life depends on it.

I see. Your life is so important

and yet you play around with
someone else's life like this, I see.

I see.

Okay. If you're so upset about me screwing
up your plans because I was too honest,

then I'll compensate you.

Shall I give you money or a
hospital? Just say the word.

First, meet with the disciplinary
committee members to explain or whatever,

make sure no rumors spread
about how I told you to lie.

My time in this world is short.

I don't have time to
waste on things like that.

Just take my money.

How are you so bad at listening to others?

How are you able to keep
just saying whatever you want?

Gods are naturally single-eared.

They can't hear what humans say.
They only hear what they have to say.

Then why don't you try
practicing listening to others now?

Are you doing this because you think you could
return to that hospital if no rumors spread?

Hey, it's clear that that place
is full of bad propitious points.

One bad step, and it'll be your grave.

If you were to go, you would die early.

Why try so hard to return?
Why keep lingering on?

Who says I have lingering feelings?

People or hospitals who hate me...

I'm sick of all of them!

But...

I can't be branded a liar on
top of being labeled a traitor.

You clean up your own crap.

That is the compensation I'm looking for.

Okay, okay. I will compensate you.

I asked you if you knew this ring.
Why aren't you answering me?

I don't know it.

- You really don't know it?
- Even if I do, I don't!

What is that supposed to mean?

Whether it's the ring or whatever, I don't ever
want to get mixed up with you again, Professor.

Now that I think about it,

I've had nothing but bad
luck since I met you, Professor.

What was it that you said before?

My grave?

Yeah.

I guess you are my grave, Professor!

Since it is a place that
I do not want to go to,

I consider all of it my grave.

You...

What did you just say?

Say it again.

You...

You... are my grave.

What are you doing right now?

I should be asking you that!

How could you dare resist me?

Do you think you are Eros
or something, Professor?

Do you think that women will
swoon from just your touch?

I can't believe this guy.

How easy did he think of me?

How dare you compare
me to someone like Eros?

I'm warning you,

but don't you dare
appear in front of me again.

If I see you ever again,

you will find out that you had bones
in places you didn't know you had,

and know the places of
all 206 bones of your body.

Hey, I'd have to hang around you, so
I can find out if you're Seol Hui or not!

Shall I teach you from
the first cervical vertebrae?

Gosh, you make me
want to not listen to you.

Are you saying you don't want to
listen, or it's easy to understand?

I get it. It's easy.

I can understand easily.

How come I miss this woman
whose face I don't even remember?

Whether out of love, revenge, or regret,

I expected her to recognize me.

Now that I see her, who
has completely forgotten me,

I can now understand
your intentions, Creator.

I've been fighting with my pitiful
reflection in the mirror for so long.

So embarrassing.

Han Gye Jeol is t-that woman?

Then did you kiss her already?

I mean, how?

Come on, read the room, will you?

Why would you suddenly talk about kissing?

You should do a bit more thinking.

Do you think that Han Gye Jeol would
remember what happened a thousand years ago?

That guy is talking like this
because he saw his previous life.

But in order to see your previous life,

you would have had to kiss.

Then what does that mean?
It means he kissed her.

You're right!

But I think you only
met her a few days ago.

Wow, you're quite skilled.

The thing is,

it's not that we kissed...

Excuse me?

Then, how did you know
that her name was Seol Hui?

Well, her name was engraved on this ring.

Gosh, I should have known.

Do you think just anyone can kiss?

It's not that I couldn't
kiss, but I didn't!

Kissing is...

merely just a door to
a person's previous life.

I'm already convinced it's her,

so why would I need to go
through the trouble of kissing her?

You would still have to kiss
her to confirm for sure it's her.

What are you going to do
if all of your time goes by

while you're showing off and digging?

Be honest. It's not that you didn't,
but that you can't kiss her, right?

I had a sign that only I could recognize!

What human being in this world
would command a god like a servant?

If you say so, Master
Kokdu, then it must be so.

I suppose all that's left for you is
to be set free from your suffering.

Being set free, you say.

When she tells you that
she loves you in this state,

only then will your cursed life end,

and eternal peace will come to you.

I suppose.

You should make her
completely fall for you,

and make sure she never
forgets you, even after she dies.

Why?

I don't know what happened
in your previous life,

but you are going through this
suffering because you can't forget her.

But that woman lived perfectly
fine, having forgotten all about you?

Doesn't that make you indignant?

At least, she should have one
lifetime going mad, unable to forget you.

Even then,

it wouldn't compare to the suffering
that you went through, Master Kokdu.

Are you saying that in addition
to freedom, I also get revenge?

As expected, you are
quite considerate, Gak Shin.

Congratulations, Master Kokdu.

Yeah, you've gone
through a lot all these years.

Aren't you going to congratulate him?

It's not time to be popping
the champagne just yet.

Are you being cheap again about
this? You have plenty of money!

Do you think just anyone can
make someone fall in love with them?

Let's just say he takes advantage of his
god-like face and gets someone to date him.

But who could handle his nasty personality?

I'll bet my neck on Han Gye Jeol will get
pissed off, and everything will go to sh*t

in five days of them going out.

Oh, sh*t.

You will have to make sure
your neck is clean for chopping.

Well, it may not go all
the way to sh*t, but yes.

I'm warning you, but don't you
dare appear in front of me again.

Things are already in the sh*t.

I told you, I told you. I knew it.

A bucket leaking inside
will leak outside as well.

If a bucket is leaking, then
I can just glue the crack.

How?

Well...

Ok Shin, is your corner deli doing well?

What do you mean, corner deli?

I'm one of the top ten
richest men in South Korea.

Oh, really? That's perfect.

I guess I can use your immense wealth
to fix the leak and get her to fall for me.

Why would I have to spend my
money for you to gain your freedom?

As expected, you had a
plan all along, Master Kokdu.

Somehow, I ended up driving
Han Gye Jeol into a corner.

Right now, she's like a trapped mouse,

so she should be easy to tug
her along with the smallest of baits.

Yang Seon Joo...

Supposedly, Yang Seon Joo ran away because
her husband's business went bankrupt.

Sa Gook Hwa...

He probably wouldn't even talk
to me, public enemy number one.

But I should try anyway.

[Sa Gook Hwa]

It's Han Gye Jeol!

- Hey, it's Han Gye Jeol.
- Hey.

Hey, it's me.

Hey, I heard you got
fired because you lied.

Daebak.

Yeah, well.

Speaking of which,

do you know if there are
any hospitals I can go to?

Even hospices where I can
work as a pay doctor are fine, too.

Hey, whether it's a hospice or whatever,

who would hire you? Are you nuts?

Okay.

Thanks for telling me.

Oh, right. I think Jung Yi Deun needed
a team doctor or something like that.

What? Who? Jung Yi Deun?

Let's hang up.

Hey, Jung Yi Deun!

Are you crazy? You dare two-time me?

And of all people, with my friend?

You knew that I was close to Jung Won.

I knew.

I went out with you because
I knew you were close to her.

What?

I wanted to get close to Jung Won noona,

so I used you, Noona.

But as we were dating,

I found you comfortable.

So that's why I decided
to date both of you.

Is that a bad thing?

Then you should have
told me that from the start!

You committed fraud against
me. How is this not bad?

How is it fraud when you
haven't suffered a loss?

What?

I'm a rising golf star.

You also enjoyed the fact that
I was dating someone like you.

Someone like me?

You felt proud because
others were envious of you.

Since both you and I gained
something from it, Noona,

let's just call it even.

Did you do business with me

for you to be talking about breaking even?

How are love and business any different?

The way you judge, weigh
and measure. They're the same.

What did you expect

from mere love, Noona?

Although it's embarrassing,

I had wanted a destined love.

Maybe that's why I may have
been attracted to Do Jin Woo.

I may have wanted to believed

that it was fate from our first encounter.

How old am I...

Let's get off of this delusion.

[Jung Yi Deun Golf Team]

Yeah, I'm not in a position
to pick and choose right now.

And he won't lose anything
from it with my skills.

We'll call it even and
think of it as a business.

We are looking for a doctor
to work on house calls.

Really cheap rent.

It even includes personal residence?

"Looking for a female doctor in her thirties,
specializing in emergency medical services."

That's exactly me!

"Preferring those who graduated
from provincial medical schools.

Those who resist the established
medical world, welcome."

This is probably a scam, right?

It's clear they're checking your
background to see if you'd be a sucker.

They are trying to hire
a sucker, isn't it obvious?

I don't think that's what they meant.

Why are you following me here
and demoralizing me like this?

How could I send you here by
yourself and let you be scammed?

I'm a pro when it comes to
sniffing out scams and crime...

I'm good at sniffing it out
whenever it's anything bad.

Why do you think my nickname is dog nose?

Oh, is that why you followed
me all the way to Yeongpo?

Are you off these days?

The work-life balance as a
government authority is awesome.

It's a business trip.

The suspect is lying
in bed at this hospital.

I came with you since I
need to see him anyways.

That child abuse perpetrator?

You weren't able to find the evidence yet?

It looks like it's here.

It's nice.

It reeks of a scam.

Anyone home?

Could I look around your home?

Mom...

Gye Jeol.

♫ The seasons pass like secrets ♫

It's my name.

♫ The seasons pass like secrets ♫

♫ When the wounds begin to heal ♫

♫ You who made my heart flutter ♫

♫ You who made my heart flutter ♫

♫ Become a poem ♫

Are you reminded of Mom, too?

What do you mean think of Mom?

I don't even remember her face
well. I was young, remember?

This house is nice,
right? Should we live here?

We'll plant lettuce here and eat corn here.

Again, again! You're getting
ahead of yourself again.

Stop getting your hopes up like that.

It could be a scam, and
you might not get hired.

Hey. When things are good, just enjoy it.

Why do you keep ruining the mood
and prematurely get disappointed?

If you keep doing
that, it'll become a habit.

Was it just once or twice that we got
our hopes up and were disappointed?

It's about time that it became a habit.

Don't you remember what Mom told us?

God always prepares good food,

but it's human beings who screw
things up so that they can't eat them.

Stop ruining the moment and enjoy it.

Your noona will do everything for you.

You trust me, right?

Trust you, my foot.

Why did you hit me?

It's so pretty...

I would understand if they were
hiring someone for a part-time cafe job.

Is it a pyramid scheme?

Are they going to be like,
"Do you believe in the Way?"

No, no.

Let's not think negatively prematurely.

It becomes a habit.

Is anyone home?

It's nice here.

Hello.

My name is Han Gye Jeol,
and I'm here for the interview.

Professor Do?

I told you I'm Kokdu!

I'm hiring a doctor.

I told you that I don't ever want
to get involved with you again.

But why do you keep appearing before me?

Appeared before you? Me?

It looks like you're the one
who appeared before me.

I heard that you came for an interview.
Why don't you try introducing yourself?

Gosh, who are you that you're
telling me to introduce myself?

I'm the landlord of this building.

Landlord, my foot.

You don't even remember. When
would you have set up this hospital?

You set up a hospital
with money, of course.

I don't have my memories,
but I do have a lot of money.

How much money do you have?

Are you going to just hand
out money for my rent?

Kind of like a kind leaseholder?

Rent? Why would I accept
such measly amounts of money?

I can't accept all of
that and act like I'm nice.

You won't...

- collect rent?
- Yeah, it's social work, so I won't collect it.

So, will you keep standing there like that?

W-Well...

I suppose I'll at least take a
look at the contract before I go...

Over here.

[Business Cooperation Agreement - Article 3 (Distribution
of Profits and Management of Operating Expenses)]

You won't collect any rent from me,

but all of the profits of the
hospital would be mine?

Yeah.

The time I have in this
world is short, young lady.

Make up your mind quickly.

How can I decide
something like this right now?

If you don't do it right now,
you won't ever be able to do so.

Once the time or a fated connection
passes, it is no longer yours to have.

It'll become theirs.

This house is nice,
right? Should we live here?

Your noona will do everything for you.

Is...

the private residence free as well?

The moment you stamp your seal
on this contract, it'll be your house.

Really?

How could I have you work without
providing you a place to sleep?

I'm usually in the position of
punishing evil bosses like that.

All right.

I'll do it.

Yeah?

All right.

[Business Cooperation Agreement]

[Signed, Han Gye Jeol]

[Signed, Han Gye Jeol]

[Additional terms and conditions]

Then will today be our first day together?

No, I can't start that quickly.

I need to report it to the public health
center, and I have a lot to take care of.

You need to report it to the government
when a man and a woman meet?

That's quite indecent.

Meeting? Who?

You can't make such a red resolution

and then pretend you don't know.

Party B, Han Gye Jeol, will
date Party A, Kokdu, for 90 days.

If she fails to uphold the contract,

she will pay a termination
fee worth 10 years of rent.

This wasn't here when I checked before...

What do you mean it wasn't there before? This is why
you should have read the contract more carefully.

A dual contract like this would
be considered an unfair contract.

Then sue me. You have
money to hire an attorney, right?

You were pushing me away
before. Why are you doing this to me?

It's written there. I want to date you.

- Would you need anything else?
- I do.

What, my heart?

An apology.

You did all that to me, and yet
you haven't apologized to me once!

Just looking at you makes me so upset,

so how could I go out with a guy like that?

H-How...

How much is the 10 years' rent?

What?

Well, since it's 10 years,

100 million won?

100 million won!

100 million won.

1...

You...

Damn you!

So cold!

Gosh.

Are you telling me to drink some
cold water and come to my senses?

It's similar.

What is it? Is it a pyramid scheme?

Do they tell you to buy a jade mat?

Where is it? Take me to them!

It's a normal hospital.

They keep telling me to come,

but I refuse. I made up my mind.

Why?

I mean, they told me to
pay them 100 million won!

What kind of BS is that?

They are scammers, then!

How dare they ask you for 100 million won
for a year's rent in a rural place like this!

It's not for a year.

Then how many years?

10 years?

If it's 10 years...

Wait...

Then it's 830,000 won per month?

If it's 830,000 won for rent,
including personal residence,

then you're profiting from this deal.

Really?

Oh, my...

Oh, my, why are you
so smart all of a sudden?

Does this land have good luck?

You'd have to pay more in
fees if you were selling takoyakis.

Geez, what's the point if
God prepares good food?

You can't eat it because you can't do math.

So what you're saying is...

there is nobody who looks down on
me and no fear of being kicked out,

and yet all it costs is
830,000 won per month, right?

Shall I use this opportunity
to be self-employed for once?

It is not difficult to get a
loan of 100 million won.

When I watch dramas, I've seen bankers
kick out people for being unemployed.

Ma'am, that's in dramas.

If you are a doctor, anything is possible.

Right? It's possible, right?

Yes.

Ma'am, you don't have overdraft
accounts or other loans, right?

Is there anyone in their
thirties who doesn't have that?

As expected, it's not easy...

Even if I was the bank,
I wouldn't lend to me.

Gosh.

I wish money would just fall from the sky!

Money's really falling from the sky...

I wish this was all my money.

This is all your money.

Did you, by chance, do all this, Kokdu?

Is there an event company behind this?

Is anyone up there?

But what is all this right now?

Are you showing off that
you have a lot of money?

I'm apologizing.

- What?
- You told me to first apologize.

An apology is done with
words, not with money.

- I'm sorry.
- Are you playing with me?

You see, you get angry with me because you
can't see the sincerity contained in words.

But you're able to see the
sincerity contained in money.

Whether I'm sorry by a 100,000
won's worth or a million won's worth.

Right now, I'm exactly

sorry by a 100 million
won worth, Han Gye Jeol.

Take this money, no...

I mean, take my apology,
and let's try going out.

Well...

let me first hear the reason

why you're trying to go out with me.

The reason?

Well...

When I look at you, I remember
the memories that I've forgotten.

It's a bit unfair and upsetting that in
the place of my memories with someone,

I'm the only one to return to it,

but what can I do? I suppose that's
the only way for my suffering to end.

I mean, does it make sense that you'd go out
with someone just to regain your memories?

Why would that not make sense?

I regain my memories,
and you get a hospital.

Both of us would benefit.

I'm not someone who
doesn't care for trade ethics.

Since both you and I gained something
from it, Noona, let's just call it even.

Why is everyone trying
to do business with me?

I just don't understand...

I'm the one who really can't understand.

I'm good-looking, intelligent, and wealthy.

I lack nothing, yet I am
saying I would date you.

Is that something you
should hate this much?

You also enjoyed the fact that
I was dating someone like you.

Are you twins or something?

How come everyone's saying the same thing?

Yeah, I'm nothing compared to you
guys. I know without you having to tell me!

I know, so get out of my sight,

since I'm pissed off.

Wait, wait.

- But you should at least try
going out with... Seriously, you!

May all the bones in your body be broken!

That way, you won't ever
appear before me, right?

That way, you won't piss me off like this!

Damn it!

Hey, Han Gye-

Wait...

Ow!

Aigoo, that hurts!

I told her I'd give her money.

I said I'd apologize!

Why is she getting angry at me for?

I heard many people have anger
management issues. She must be one of them.

If you talk to her like that, even a
stone Buddha will get mad at you.

If you were going to make her fall for you,
you should have prepared for everything.

Visuals, intelligence, and wealth!

I was born with more than
enough to seduce a woman!

What more preparations
are you talking about?

You should have at least figured out

what that woman likes and dislikes,

what kind of men caused
her happiness and pain.

My time in this world is short, Gak Shin.

I don't have time to get to
know her or anything like that.

Even if you don't have time, but still...

Even if I did, I don't want to.

Getting to know each other, giving
one's heart, and remembering...

Those are all her share in this life.

Geez, your stubbornness is quite something.

Aigoo.

You did that on purpose!

Geez...

B-But how did Han Gye Jeol

manage to make you like this, Master Kokdu?

Is there a way to do this to
you in this world, Master Kokdu?

If you find that out, then what?

So you can try it on me?

You, I will-

You see, you see.

I told you not to move!
You really don't listen.

How dare you!

Whoa, whoa! Wait, wait, wait!

What's this?

Why's my hand like this?

You're going to try it again?

Do it, do it!

It's not going to work!

Whoa, whoa! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

What's wrong with me?

That's it?

He's really lost it.

He's lost it, for sure.

What the...

Damn it.

Maybe there is a
problem with your abilities

because something's wrong with your body!

You devil, Choi Kang Mo!

Aigoo, aigoo, aigoo. It's started again.

Die! You son of a b*tch!

You should rot in jail!

What's the name?

Who is Choi Kang Mo?

Choi Kang Mo, Choi Kang
Mo. Look it up and show him.

k*ll him for us!

Someone, please k*ll him for us!

- Until Choi Kang Mo is dead,
- Master Kokdu,

- I'll keep saying this. You die, too!
- It's this guy.

Ok Shin, I'll see you later.

Please k*ll him for us!

Die! You should die as well!

Choi Kang Mo, you devil!

D-Did you do it?

What's this? You can't
even teleport anymore?

Aigoo, Master Kokdu, you've
become a laughingstock.

It appears the trashy people of
South Korea can sleep easiliy.

It looks like you're the one who
seems to be enjoying yourself, Ok Shin.

Master Kokdu!

Master Kokdu!

Come on.

- Come on now.
- Master Kokdu.

You can't even teleport!

I've served you hundreds of years,
but I've never seen you like this before.

Please don't go today.

I have a bad feeling about this.

- You should go next time.
- What do you mean, next time? Get out of my way!

Master Kokdu.

- Aigoo, that guy...
- Goodness...

That guy...

- Geez, seriously.
- He really doesn't listen.

Aigoo.

Die, Choi Kang Mo!

Die, die!

Punish Choi Kang Mo as a m*rder*r!

Punish him, punish him!

Bring her back!

[Devil who k*lled a 7-year-old child]
Bring back Yu Na!!

I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!

I'm sorry I couldn't protect you...

How many times must I tell you?

The bruises on her face
was from the accident.

A bruise from falling and a bruise from
being beaten for a long time are different.

Not only that, there were multiple reports
from Yu Na's daycare and the emergency room.

All right.

The child kept on misbehaving, so I
beat her a bit to teach her a lesson.

It's my child,

so I can't even teach her as I see fit?

You can't, Mr. Choi Kang Mo.

It's a crime.

Then why don't you arrest me?

Gosh.

It appears there was a fire at your home two days
before Yu Na's accident. Why was there a fire?

She must have forgotten to turn off the gas
after trying to cook something for herself.

There was evidence that someone
intentionally set fire to the home!

Yu Na already testified that
she never touched the stove.

She was always so good at lying.

Maybe she learned at the orphanage.

This is why you shouldn't adopt a
child whose parents you don't know.

Choi Kang Mo, you
tried to k*ll Yu Na, right?

You adopted her,

then your own child was born, so
isn't that why you tried to k*ll her?

Well,

I guess I did want to.

What?

But she died in a car accident.

Whether I wanted to k*ll her or not,

I didn't k*ll her. So why is
everyone coming at me?

If you're going to come at
me, bring evidence against me!

The visitation time is over.

Gosh, damn it.

Hey, Detective?

It's carfare. You came
so far away from Seoul.

So use it for carfare.

Put it away before I put you
in prison for bribery charges.

Just because a child died,

I received quite a bit of insurance money.

I thought I should donate
some money since I became rich.

Die, Choi Kang Mo!

Die, die!

Choi Kang Mo is a m*rder*r!

Put him in jail immediately!

Put him in jail, put him in jail!

Punish Choi Kang Mo as a m*rder*r!

Why aren't ghosts taking
away an as*h*le like him?

Punish him! Die!

Die!

Choi Kang Mo is a m*rder*r!

Punish him!

Punish him, punish him!

Punish Choi Kang Mo

as a m*rder*r!

Punish him!

It's delicious.

Who are you?

Who are you to suddenly appear like this?

I'm a ghost who's here to take you away.

I see.

Are you a reporter?

I told you.

I didn't k*ll her.

People won't ever know...

that you pushed Yu Na
off with your own hands.

Gosh, what's going on...

I'm okay, Dad.

Don't worry about me.

You k*lled a perfectly fine child just so
you can get a bit of insurance money?

How long do I have to keep
seeing a piece of trash like you?

Just looking at you makes my eyes rot
and makes me want to vomit, so how long?

Who the f♪♪♪ are you?

Who do you think you are to threaten me?

Hey, did you hear?

About what?

Professor Do is supposedly in Yeongpo.

And with Han Gye Jeol at that.

What?

Look.

What's this...

Come on, focus!

What's wrong, Jung Won?

Something cold...

just went by.

What was that?

Jung Won...

Jin Woo oppa...

I'll first return to the station.

This stupid shitty car.

I should go ahead and throw
it away. Ok Shin, you b*stard...

Goodness.

I should go and throw it away!

Where shall I go?

Who are you?

What's with that b*stard!

He's following me, I see.

Gosh, he's so persistent.

A person disappeared again.

How...

does this make any sense?

Gosh, aigoo...

Whoa, what's this? Dog...

What's with the dog...

Hey, come on. Hey...

This is MBS 9 o'clock news.

Choi Kang Mo, who was under
police investigation for charges of

- abusing his adopted daughter
- My back...

- was m*rder*d last night.
- Gosh, I'm dying.

- The suspect fled while being
chased by police, - Master Kokdu!

But the police managed to
obtain the getaway vehicle

- and is trying to identify the culprit.
- Master Kokdu!

- However, no evidence was
found in the vehicle, - Hey, Kokdu!

So it appears there may be
difficulties in the investigation.

- Reporter Kim Joon Young with the news.
- "Hey, Kokdu"?

You cut out the honorifics.

Shall I cut your life short, too?

T-This...

M-My Pure Gold...

My Pure Gold, who's
like an old friend. My car!

Your car?

What in this house is yours? It's all mine.

Really. If your body is like that,
you shouldn't have gone out.

You just had to take my
Pure Gold out like that

and turn it into a criminal!

What am I supposed to do?

The police will find out
right away that it's my car.

Then what am I supposed to do?

Just tell them it was stolen.

Nag the police to go catch the thief!

You said you're one of
the top 10 richest men.

You were flaunting your wealth like
that, and yet you can't even do that?

Go inside and shut your mouth.

Oh, my lower back...

My lower back...

Why do I have to deal with this...

You know Yeongpo Jong Ga, famous for their
traditional gochujang♪ (Korean for red pepper paste)

The matriarch there runs a
community development fund.

Sometimes she provides
financial support for start-ups,

so why don't you try going there?

Yeongpo Jong Ga, Matriarch Moon Myeong Ja.

Hello.

Oh, hello.

Hello. Is Mistress Moon Myeong Ja here?

Oh, you're looking for the Mistress?

Excuse me, Mistress?

What is it?

Hello.

Hello, Mistress.

I'm Han Gye Jeol, who called you earlier.

For what did you two come together?

- It's hectic enough as it is.
- Us two?

Are you here on a date?

You're not going to do any work?

Work?

I should have you work so I know if
you are capable of paying me back or not.

If you don't want to, then forget it.

I like work.

What...

I-I'm coming!

You saw, right?

Yes.

You need to stir it wide like this.

Watch it carefully.

If it gets stuck to the
pot, it's big trouble.

We'll have to throw out the pot, too.

Yes...

Why did you come here?

I came to borrow money, so that
would make me your loan competitor.

All you have is money,

so why would you get a loan?

Why would you compete against me?

I need to get it so that you can't get it.

I heard the financial situation here is tight
so it'd be difficult to support two people.

Just take my money, instead of
making things difficult for many people.

Gosh, look at this guy!

If you want to date me,

do things that would make me happy.

All you do are things that piss me off,

so who would fall for you?

You should do the things that make me happy

since I'm deserving of at least that much.

What is he saying...

Looks like you're having a
hard time, so just give up.

You can't beat me anyway.

If you're going to compete,

at least you should try hard.

Why am I the only one working?

The thing about effort is that it's
motivated by a feeling of inferiority.

However, there is no
way for me to feel inferior,

so I don't need to try hard.

Instead of just yapping,
come here and stir this a bit.

Put in your effort.

I told you I don't know what
it means to put in the effort.

What's this?

Did effort get reborn as a human being?

Right, you're not a normal human being.

Yeah, keep stirring,
keep stirring like that.

Don't order me around.

Yeah. Good job, good job!

I'm not your sl*ve!

Hope that my curse is lifted, Han Gye Jeol.

If not, the moment your life ends,

you will meet the scariest god.

I will be sure to see you clearly

grovel before me

with your hands and feet together.

Gosh, it's so spicy! Gosh.

Aigoo,

you've made it quite well.

Even I can't make it like this.

Seeing how you work, you
will succeed at whatever you do.

Geez...

how come you lack stamina as a man?

Good for nothing.

Thank you.

Doesn't that granny see my sweat?

What are you smiling for?

What?

Do you have asthma?

I've lived with it for a long time.

Come by at times and check up on me.

Of course.

Thank you. I'll do my best.

It may sound like I'm bragging,

but if you get on my bad side,

you won't be able to
do anything in Yeongpo.

So,

don't even think about
running off with my money.

You got that?

Yes.

I'll do my best, and I will
pay back the last penny.

Then, I'll be on my way.

Yes, go ahead.

Okay.

What did you see in her that
you lent her so much money?

H-Hey, did you just say that to me?

Well, is there anyone else here?

We shall see if you'll
really think it's good

even when a doctor comes

barging into your life

and digs up a festering secret.

I've never seen such a f♪♪♪ing
rude son of a b*tch in my life.

What are you doing? Are you
that happy about borrowing money?

I'm getting a hospital.

Well, even though the
landlord is not that great,

I should be willing to deal
with that much discomfort.

Where can you find a place with
both good water and a good pavilion?

In life, if one is good,
the other is not so good.

You've lived 30 years, so you
think at least one of them is good.

But if you live 300 years, you learn
that even that one is not that great.

In life, there is no such
thing as a good thing.

There is only something easier to endure.

Gosh.

What kind of life did you
live that you're so pessimistic?

I'm falling endlessly from a high place,

and the hope of eventually hitting
the ground pushes me into more of hell.

They say that if you fall for so long,

you may learn to fly.

Then why don't you
personally teach me how to fly?

I suppose it wouldn't be so bad, you
giving me both my illness and my medicine.

W-What are you talking about again?

Are you asking me to go out with you again?

Let me at least hear why you hate me.

You had so much lingering feelings
for me. Why change so quickly?

Is it your hobby in both this and the
afterlife to forget and change quickly?

Well...

it's not that I hate you...

I'm just saying I don't like
you enough to date you.

What do I need to do to make you like me?

I'll fall for someone even
if he doesn't do anything.

Not someone who has to do stuff for me.

Where would you find someone like that?

I'm sure he's out there somewhere.

Someone I'm destined to be with.

Destiny?

I know.

It's childish and ridiculous, right?

People criticize me, saying
"Do you think life is a joke?"

"You're talking very idealistically."

and "Is your mind full of sh*t?"

But it's not a sin to believe in destiny.

It is a sin.

What?

Do you like walking the path
that the Creator made for you?

Do you really like living
as a puppet of the Creator?

If you don't have the least amount
of pride and will as a human being,

that's a sin.

Would God have created my path for my bad?

If it's someone prepared for me,

then he'll only have eyes for me.

He won't look around to see

if there's anyone better.

He wouldn't measure, argue, or judge to see

if it's tilted or overflowing.

Even if it's someone so lacking like me...

He would love me.

Are you lacking that much self-confidence?

Are you that bad?

Kokdu,

do you like yourself?

So,

if you really want to date me,

then give me evidence
instead of a contract.

What evidence?

Evidence that...

you are my fate.

[I will read your fate: love, wealth,
health. Mysterious tarot reading.]

Fate here, fate there...

Human beings are completely
crazy about fate, aren't they?

The Creator must be so happy

since he has so many faithful servants.

What can they do?

Since they are anxious like
a boat floating on open seas,

they are using things like
that as a beacon to guide them.

When things don't work out, they will
blame it on the three years of misfortune

and comfort themselves
saying that it's not their fault.

Foolish, so foolish.

Why are you so worried when you could
find out all the secrets of the world?

Just put Han Gye Jeol under hypnosis.

If you look straight into her eyes and say,
"Han Gye Jeol, Han Gye Jeol, Han Gye Jeol"...

If you say her name three times,
she will tell you what's in her heart.

If you ask her directly what the
evidence of fate she's looking for,

it would be a pretty simple matter.

I don't want to.

I didn't receive my powers
to use on lowly human beings.

He's not really desperate yet.

Getting to know each
other, giving one's heart,

and remembering...

These should all be your
responsibility this time,

but why are you making
it my responsibility?

[A naming center that
will change your fate]

[My fortune, our compatibility]

Gak Shin, do you have 8,000 won?

Why do you need 8,000 won?

The couple's compatibility reading.

- You can leave that over there.
- Yes.

Kokdu!

Kokdu, help me carry these things.

It's just in your nature
to give orders, isn't it?

Gosh, seriously.

Let go.

It's heavy.

Someone save me!

It's a ghost...

Ghost...

It's a ghost!

What's with him?

He's got good eyes.

Look at that.

Ahjussi.

Ahjussi!

Ahjussi, are you all right?

Kokdu, call 911.

I told you not to order me around!

Gosh, and I can't even control my hands.

Hello.

Yeah, this is Han Gye Jeol's home.

How do I know that?

Did you say you were Dr. Han?

Thank you.

I think you need to take
care of your health more.

Even though I may
look weak at first glance,

I'm pretty muscular on the inside.

Oh, this?

I tend to see ghosts pretty often,

so I often get bruises from falling over.

How often do you see ghosts?

Is there a time of day
that you often see them?

I don't think there's a
certain time that I see them.

What about any new
medications that you're taking?

If it doesn't react well with your
body, it may cause side effects.

I do have an angina medication
that I've been taking for a long time.

But I haven't had many
issues with it to this point.

Mistress.

Honey.

Honey?

He says he fainted because he
stayed up all night playing a game of Go.

When it comes to Go, he
just can't control himself.

You shouldn't play Go for several
hours on end on an empty stomach.

You even have diabetes.

What?

I have diabetes?

You didn't know?

Your blood sugar level is high.

Am I seeing ghosts because of diabetes?

Oh, no.

First, how about we have
him get a test for diabetes?

I-I will take care of my
own family's business.

Still, since you're already here, it
would be good for him to get tested...

Dr. Han.

You sure care about
other people's business.

If you're going to live here,

you need to fix your habit of sticking
your nose in other people's business.

If you're going to keep being like that,

don't even think about doing
business with my money.

Aigoo.

Don't borrow money from Ms. Moon.

What is it now?

Do you want to shut down the hospital because you
were connected to a domestic violence perpetrator?

A domestic violence perpetrator?

Didn't you see the bruise on his chest?

That?

He says he got the bruise when
he fell over after seeing a ghost.

You will end up in jail, too, if you
get mixed up with a poison m*rder*r.

A poison m*rder*r?

That guy before, he would
get dizzy and fall over,

and see hallucinations and get seizures.

That's exactly how m*rder
by poisoning always happened.

There are so many different
diseases with those symptoms.

m*rder by poisoning in this
day and age? Yeah, okay.

She's more difficult than I thought.

Does she remember her
previous life by chance?

Isn't it because she knows
something that she's avoiding me?

If it's not that, then there should
be no reason for her to reject me...

It's making me really curious...

I lose if I get curious.

Gosh...

Oh, I didn't do this on
purpose. I'll be leaving.

I'm leaving...

Are you sleeping?

How could you sleep so soundly?

Oh, I shouldn't be like this.

No, I shouldn't.

Gye Jeol.

It's not...

Whoa, what's wrong? Is it a bug?

There was someone there!

There was someone there!

No one's here.

I'm sure there was someone there...

It's because your body is weak.

Get up. Let's take some medicine.

Are you a kid that you
would get sleep paralysis?

I guess it's because I have
things weighing on my mind.

- What is it?
- Gosh...

I'm pretty sure it's not poison...

I just can't seem to figure it out.

Poison? Who? Did you report it?

What?

It's...

about the dissertation, yeah.

Oh, your dissertation...

Noona, you're living a difficult life, too.

Give it to me.

Eat and cheer up.

For you, eating ramen at night is medicine.

And for you, it's poison.

You became stupid because
you ate too many ramen.

You'll come to your senses if a
ramen company sues you, huh?

Do you have asthma?

I've lived with it for a long time.

Come by at times and check up on me.

I do have an angina medication
that I've been taking for a long time.

But I haven't had many
issues with it to this point.

It wasn't poison,

but medication?

You need to read the
contract carefully, okay?

That's the basics of business.

Yes.

You should see me.

That guy... Look at the way

he's talking to an elder!

A large corporation I know
wants to buy gochujang in bulk.

You're not interested?

Come by later! Don't you
see that I'm with a guest?

Please go outside and take care of
your business. I'll read the contract here.

- O-Oh, really?
- Yes.

What did you say you're going to check?

The medicine bottle.

So, just keep Mistress
busy for just 5 minutes.

So, in the end, you
have chosen destruction.

[Angina, Asthma]

If these two are the same medication,

Why isn't this opening?

Geez!

What are you doing!

Huh?

By chance, did you put asthma
medication into the angina medicine bottle?

You have a really bad habit of getting
involved in other people's businesses!

I am not giving you any money.

Get out!

If you take asthma medication,
your blood sugar levels go up.

That's why you wouldn't let
him take a diabetes test, right?

Because you can't
have the doctors find out.

Why would I have him take asthma medication

when he doesn't have asthma?

That way, he will see hallucinations.

Mr. Choi Dal Seung gets side effects from
the steroid in the asthma medication, right?

That's why he's
experiencing delirium, right?

All right, all right.

It doesn't seem to be asthma medication.

What!

This is Yeongpo Police Station, right?

I'm Moon Myeong Ja.

I want to report trespassing.

Moon Myeong Ja.

How dare you say an elder's name like that!

Moon Myeong Ja.

Moon Myeong Ja.

Moon Myeong Ja.

Mom?

Did you hate your husband that much?

Did you hate him to the point
of wanting to beat him to death?

What do you mean by beating?

He fell over by himself

from his own delirium...

I'm not that vicious of a woman.

How are you not that vicious?

You changed his medication so
that he would go crazy and have a fit.

He kept going to the clubhouse to gamble,

so I just switched it out
only then a few times.

After I did that,

he wouldn't go there for a while
because he said there were ghosts there.

If you hate him that much,

you should break up with him.

Why are you causing all this
trouble while living with him?

I'm doing it because I feel sorry for him.

If I'm not here,

who will feed him?

I'm afraid that he might
get scammed somewhere.

If I don't see him, I worry about him,

so I can't just kick him out.

Goodness, seriously.

- Mistress!
- Gosh...

this wasn't supposed to happen...

Mistress.

Gosh, wait.

Kokdu.

So what happened to Mistress?

How come she suddenly started
answering all of your questions like that?

I shouldn't be using my powers on
such lowly human beings like that...

Just think of it as a god saving face.

Oh, hypnosis.

I did learn a bit about it during
the psychological therapy class.

Saving face, not hypnosis!

Who's responsible for compulsory
education in South Korea?

I need to meet with them tonight.

Regardless of whether
it's saving face or hypnosis,

thank you for helping me.

I helped you earlier because you
seemed to be in such a dire situation,

but on a larger scale,
I didn't really help you.

Why not?

Moon Myeong Ja will never help
you since you know her secret.

They say that the only people you can share your
secrets with are your friends or your enemies,

but every friend you share your
secrets with becomes your enemy.

Moon Myeong Ja is smart.

She's not the type to
make any potential enemies.

I see.

I guess I have no choice.

That's right.

So you should just take my money.

I'm thinking of leaving Yeongpo as well.

What?

Whether I go to an island or a mountain,

I'll look for a pay doctor
position, starting at hospices.

No, just stay here in Yeongpo.

You don't need to pay anything.
I'll just give you the hospital.

Gosh,

I don't think you should.

Everything that happened in Yeongpo...

all feels like a dream, to be honest.

Getting my own hospital
for 830,000 won a month,

and getting a house to live
in with my younger brother,

and even a ridiculous
contract dating relationship...

When I thought about it, it
was actually very romantic.

But...

things that are really
good like this are a dream.

A dream that would be
better off not being dreamt

since it would make reality more
miserable once I wake up from it.

For me,

even though it's pretty pitiful,

I'm just going to live a down-to-earth
life, rolling with the punches.

I know I've gotten mad
at you quite a few times,

but to be honest with you,

I was happy.

Thank you.

Han Gye Jeol.

You can't leave me.

The moment you turn away from
me, you will for sure return to me.

I doubt it.

I'm pretty stubborn myself.

I do what I say I'll do.
