TAKE CHARGE OF MY HEART

[unsettling music playing]

[inhales shakily]

[groans softly]

[gasps]

[unsettling music continues]

[high-pitched ringing]

[Bo-bae breathing shakily]

[gasps]

-Seriously, Mr. Yoon, you shitty traitor!
-[Yoon] What did you say?

Wh… wha… what?

-[Yoon sighs]
-[music fades]

What happened to you?

[unsettling music resumes]

As you can see,

I'm not the traitor here.

[grunts]

-[breathes uneasily]
-[Bo-bae gasps]

[unsettling music becomes ominous]

[Do-yoon] Did you lock them up?

Keep them there until the event is over.

And make sure no one touches Na Bo-bae.

[Lee] Yes, sir.

She's locked up somewhere
without electronic devices, right?

[Lee] Yes, sir. [breathing heavily]

There's nothing here,

only trees and rocks.

Don't you worry about anything.

All right. Yes, Director. Yes.

D: MR. BAEK IS ON HIS WAY
TO THE TS 30TH ANNIVERSARY EVENT

NA BO-BAE AND YOON JAE-h*…

[inaudible]

-[cell phone buzzes]
-[ominous music continues]

NA BO-BAE AND YOON JAE-h* ARE BEING HELD
ON DIRECTOR CHOI'S ORDERS

[inaudible]

[glasses clink]

-[camera shutters click]
-[music fades]

[thudding]

[Bo-bae] Ah!

The door is locked.
What should we do? [breathing heavily]

Damn it, they took our phones.

Is everything all right, Mr. Yoon?
You okay?

-[breathing heavily]
-[chain rattling]

This is where my little sister is resting.

Huh?

Right here.

This is where
Mr. Baek's family memorial tablets are.

My sister, she…

she's here too.

[sighs] Given that
they've locked us up in here,

I'm sure Choi Do-yoon has
something to do with this.

When did your sister

pass away?

[solemn music playing]

Oh, yeah.

Don't worry about them.

My parents sent them
so that they could look after me.

Oh, yeah? Okay.

Ready? Let's start playing. Okay?

-Yeah!
-[chuckles]

[woman] Jae-Yeong was originally
first in line for a heart transplant

but the family that owns TS Group
was given priority.

My precious Jae-yeong passed away
due to those selfish assholes!

My Jae-yeong was supposed to
get that heart!

-She was first on the list!
-[young Yoon sobbing]

Get lost!

My little sister,

she died because of you!

Just because you have money.

-No, I have nothing to do with her death.
-My dad says you do!

He told me that my sister, she… she was
first on the list to get the heart.

[sobs]

Until you took it from her.

That's not true
because I have an artificial heart.

I wasn't here for a transplant.

What?

Professor Jang, he said

your sister got sick
before the operation and…

and that's why she was sent to heaven.

I didn't do anything to her.

The ones who died because of me

were my parents.

Not your sister.

That means

Jae-yeong w… was gonna die no matter what?

That isn't fair. [sobbing]

She was only nine.

[both crying]

Mommy.

[Yoon] The day I lost my sister

is the day Mr. Baek lost his parents.

-[solemn music continues]
-[Yoon] Back then, we were young.

And I was convinced Mr. Baek and I

had been brought together by fate.

We both lost part of our families
on the same day,

and we got through it together.

[Bo-bae sobbing]

[music fades]

Miss Bo-bae, why are you crying?

It's such a sad story!

[sad music playing]

I feel bad for your sister

and… and for Mr. Baek h*-rang,
and for you too.

Mr. Yoon, I'm sorry for suspecting you.

[Bo-bae sniffles, continues sobbing]

[blowing nose]

[sniffling]

Are you all right?

I'll give this back to you
once I've washed it. [sniffles]

sh*t, the pockets are fake,
so can you hold on to it for now?

Later, I promise I'll wash it
and give it back.

-Just throw it away.
-[sniffles]

[slide whistle]

We need to get out of here fast.

Mr. Baek and I've been apart since
this morning. His heart needs a charge.

He should be able to go 25 hours,
or at least until tomorrow

without needing to charge his heart.

Yeah, I know,
but I'm getting a really bad feeling.

We have to hurry up and get out of here.

[uneasy music playing]

[uneasy music continues]

[indistinct background chatter]

[h*-rang grunts]

-[camera shutters clicking]
-[h*-rang gasps softly]

[sighs uneasily]

[Lee] Seriously?
I ordered it over an hour ago!

At the three-way intersection, turn right,

then keep going straight
till you see a temple.

A temple, yes. It's not that complicated!

Mr. Lee? Hey Mr. Lee! Over here!

-Oh, Manager Yoon?
-[Yoon] Yes.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm really sorry about this.

I can assure you, I don't have anything
personal against either one of you.

You see, I'm just a salaried employee
who follows orders.

And unfortunately,
I had no choice but to bring you here,

so that I could get paid good money.

-[Bo-bae gasps]
-[breathing heavily]

-[dramatic rock music playing]
-I had my doubts, but

I can't believe Mr. Lee was the spy.

[yelling] So from the start,

you were a damn spy
planted by Choi Do-yoon?

Yes, I was indeed.

I'm the kind of guy
who needs lots of money

and is willing to do anything for it.

This is a multiplayer era, after all.

[Yoon sighs] You're telling me

you were leaking information
to Director Han Seol-hee?

They say it's always darkest
under the lamp, right?

To me, today feels a little like D-Day,
and I'll tell you why.

Choi Do-yoon and Han Seol-hee,

they're both with Mr. Baek
right this very moment.

Mr. Lee, what do you mean by that?

What are you saying?

What I'm saying is

that today could mark the end
for poor Mr. Baek.

Wait, what?

The end?

Mr. Lee?

-Let us out, you f*cking a*s!
-[Lee] Whoa!

Miss Na, there you go again
with that crazy attitude.

You scare me when you're like that.

-I'd rather not talk to you right now.
-No, Mr. Lee!

As soon as Mr. Baek is dead,

I'll put his memorial tablet in there,

right with everyone else who's part
of his whole rich messed up family.

Open the door.

-[banging on door]
-[haunting music playing]

Open the door! I swear,
I'm not going to let you get away!

[breathing heavily]

[electricity crackling]

-[breathing heavily]
-[Yoon] Miss Na?

Miss Na? Miss Na Bo-bae?

-[Lee] What. What the hell?
-Ah!

[Lee] What's going on? What is this?

Whoa! [whimpering]

Ow, it's hot!

Ah, ah, ah.

Miss Na Bo-bae?

Why is everyone always out to get him?

[Bo-bae breathing heavily]

What did he ever do to anyone?

[suspenseful music playing]

Miss Na Bo-bae, are you all right?

Buddha, Avalokiteśvara.

Have mercy on his soul just this once.

-What are you doing?
-Metal is a conductor.

And so is this lock.

So if a strong current

flows through it, it will spark.

[electricity sizzling]

What the hell is happening?

I'm gonna get electrocuted!
Okay, okay, I need to calm down.

[fearful gasping]

What in the world?

Miss Na, what the hell are you doing?

You better stop!
You're gonna break the door!

I'm not allowed to let you out!
Stop, Miss Na!

Damn it, it's hot!

Fire! My, my, my, my hand! It's on fire!

Fire! [screams]

Damn it, it's hot! Hot, hot, hot, hot!

[Lee screams]

-[Bo-bae grunts]
-Ah! Don't let them get away!

Hurry up and stop them!

Wait, wait. I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

[Yoon] Miss Na Bo-bae!

[guard] Whoa, whoa, whoa.

[Lee] Don't let them get away! Stop them!

-[Bo-bae grunts]
-[panicked grunting]

[Bo-bae gasps]

Oh!

Huh?

-Miss Na Bo-bae?
-[Lee grunting]

[dramatic music continues]

-Our car is gone!
-[Bo-bae] Oh no!

[Yoon] All these cars belong to them.

I'm here. I have your food.

Are they really gonna eat fried chicken
in the temple?

[Bo-bae] Uh, yes. They, they want you
to, uh, bring it up there, you see?

Oh. Okay, thank you.

[squeak]

[suspenseful music playing]

[squeak]

[Yoon] Uh, excuse me. Here, take this.

You can contact me at this number, okay?

Go on up the stairs.
The temple is that way.

[thrilling music playing]

[scooter engine starts]

Hey!

What are you doing? Stop!

Hey!

[music fades]

[woman] Now, as we celebrate
TS Group's 30th anniversary,

we'll be hearing
from the heads of each department

about their achievements.

First, we have Senior Managing Director
Baek h*-rang from TS Resort.

[uneasy music building]

[applause continues]

[dramatic music playing]

Go faster!

Good evening, everyone,
and thank you for being here…

-[uneasy music playing]
-[camera shutters clicking]

[exhales sharply] Uh…

…for being here and joining us

to celebrate the 30th anniversary
of TS Group.

[ominous music playing]

[watch beeping sharply]

[ominous music continues]

-[ominous music continues]
-[watch beeping sharply]

[beeping intensifies]

-[thud]
-[alarm sounds]

[guests murmuring]

[shocked gasps]

[woman 2] Oh my God!

-[shocked, concerned chatter]
-[feedback ringing]

-[man 1] He needs help!
-[man 2] Someone please call 911!

[woman 3] Here!

[man 3] No photos! Please, no photos!

[man 1] Someone help him!

What happened to him?
Is he okay? Check on him. Is he dead?

-Baek h*-rang!
-Mr. Baek!

[poignant music playing]

[man 1] What's happening?

[Yoon] Mr. Baek!

[Bo-bae] Baek h*-rang, I'm here!

Oh no. Don't die on me, please! Breathe.

[man 2] Hey, put your camera away.

Please, everyone out. The event's over.

Please leave!

[man 1] Please, everyone step back!

No. No.

You can't die.

No! You can't die on me. Please.

[breathing heavily]

[Bo-bae panting]

Hey. Let's go, 'kay? Follow me.

Come on. Let's get outta here.

[Bo-bae] Please! Wake up!

Breathe! Please, please don't die!
Don't leave me! Please! Wake up!

[dramatic music playing]

-[power surging]
-[generator powering down]

[Bo-bae panting]

[dramatic music continues]

-[gasps]
-[Bo-bae panting]

Baek h*-rang?

[h*-rang breathing heavily]

[dramatic music continues]

[Yoon] Mr. Baek!

Mr. Baek.

Mr. Baek.

Mr. Baek.

-[watch chimes]
-Mr. Baek!

[man 4] Is he alive?

[Yoon] Mr. Baek!

[Do-yoon seethes]

-[dramatic music continues]
-[siren wailing]

[music softens]

[Yoon breathing shakily]

[machine beeping]

Are you out of your mind?

Do-yoon, how can you do such a thing?

What? Is it because Baek h*-rang might die
that you're worried?

Did you spike his drink to k*ll him?
Is that what you wanted?

[scoffs]

[unsettling music playing]

[camera shutters clicking]

Thanks.

Hello, ma'am.

[clicks tongue]

[ominous music playing]

[Seol-hee sighs]

Seol-hee.

Han Seol-hee!

Don't act all innocent, please.

You and I, we're on the same team.
I kidnapped Na Bo-bae for you.

Because you asked me to.
Don't forget that.

To keep her away from Baek h*-rang.
I never asked you to k*ll him!

Don't you understand?

You're not Na Bo-bae.

Baek h*-rang can die without her.
You saw it with your own eyes.

Na Bo-bae saved Baek h*-rang.

Because she's Baek h*-rang's battery.

-She charges his heart.
-[scoffs]

-You're speaking nonsense.
-You didn't know?

You see, Na Bo-bae,

she can generate electricity.

Pah!

You're drunk.

[scoffs]

[unsettling music playing]

[Do-yoon sniffing]

[sighs]

Wow, what the hell's going on?

Senior Managing Director Baek
was taken to the hospital.

They even performed CPR on him.

Do you think
our commercial will get canceled?

Seriously, someone's in danger,
and that's what you think of?

Yeah, but I'm worried since he's
our client rep for the commercial.

-Oh, Mr. Yeom!
-[Eun-h*] Hello.

[Min-kyu] What the…?

Oh, Eun-h*!
We had a meeting about the script?

-Yeah.
-So sorry, I forgot.

I need to make a quick call
to Miss Na first.

Miss Na? You mean Miss Bo-bae, the writer?

-Is everything all right?
-Yeah. Just a minute please.

What's going on?

[footsteps approaching]

[uneasy music playing]

[Bo-bae groans softly]

Miss Han Seol-hee,
what are you doing here?

[Bo-bae breathes shakily]

[Seol-hee sighs]

Must be hard, huh?

I know misfortunes often come
in batches, right?

-But you've been piling them on.
-What?

Lately, you've been through a lot, no?

Don't you find it a little odd?

Bad things keep happening to you,
over and over again,

as if fate itself has turned on you.

What are you even talking about?

Misfortunes aren't always linked to fate.

Wealth, intent and power

is all you need
to make someone's life fall apart.

Na Bo-bae,
I'm the misfortune in your life.

JI EUN-h*'S MYSTERIOUS WOMAN

[Seol-hee] Editing and spreading
the video of you and Ji Eun-h*.

Helping your drama

secure a slot and land a commercial…

How's that? The drama got canceled?

-That's what I've been told.
-Argh.

[Seol-hee] …then getting it canceled
right when everyone's excited about it.

[laughing]

My drama got canceled?

Someone's going to call you
to tell you any minute now.

Oh, and your brother was hurt recently,
wasn't he?

-[thud]
-[brakes screeching]

[Seol-hee] It's no coincidence
that he got into an accident

and ended up in the hospital.

[Lee] Yes. Yes, I did it.

I did… I, I just hit him
with my car, yeah.

But I feel terribly guilty.

[chuckles] A little extra money
should help with that.

Yes, it would. It would, thanks.

[chuckling]

[choked gasping]

You know… everything you're telling me
is considered a crime?

-If I report you to the police…
-Go ahead.

It's okay.

I have an expensive lawyer
that'll take care of it.

Listen, Na Bo-bae,
I know what kind of person you are.

You're the kind who chases dreams, right?

Not money or power.

You want love, hope,

justice.

You want cute, sweet things
like that, Miss Na?

I can help you make sure

misfortune turns into fortune.

But first, you must back off
and disappear from Mr. Baek's life.

Why should I disappear
from Mr. Baek's life just for your sake?

Because the person
who should end up by his side

is me, not you.

I can help him succeed in life.

You can't, Na Bo-bae.

You can't because

I can control your whole life if I want.

-What can you do?
-[music fades]

[Bo-bae laughing]

This is crazy. I can't believe it.

This is what you're really like.

You see, as writers, we love imagining
the kind of lives people like you have.

Characters who stab you in the back
are very three-dimensional.

I never saw you coming.

You're fascinating,
in a twisted sort of way.

-You don't get what's happening, do you?
-I do, actually. I get it.

Yeah, no wonder
everything was going so smoothly

and then suddenly it wasn't.

One disaster after another.

All along,
there was someone pulling the strings.

And who was it?

This perfectly kind, angelic, graceful
and beautiful, sweet little princess.

Would you mind if I used you
as inspiration in one of my dramas?

You're trying so hard to act
like none of this is getting to you.

I wonder how long you can keep pretending.

To be honest,
I could turn your life into a living hell.

[footsteps fading]

[door slides]

[pensive music playing]

[sighs]

Mr. Yoon.

[Bo-bae sighs]

Are you all right?

[sighs] Yeah.

This is the first time I've ever
passed out from sheer exhaustion.

How come Baek h*-rang
isn't out of surgery yet?

-Why is it taking so long?
-Don't worry about him.

Mr. Baek is…

Mr. Baek is
your rubber glove of fate, right?

[Bo-bae sighs]

I'm sure he'll be okay.

I hope so.

SURGERY OVER

[Bo-bae gasps]

Doctor, please, how did it go?

Mr. Baek's surgery went really well.

[Bo-bae sighs]

Thank you very much, Doctor.

Na Bo-bae, can I have a word with you?

Oh, I'll let the two of you speak
in private. Thank you so much.

Uh, what's wrong? Did something happen?

No, as I said, the surgery went well.

We replaced the battery
for his artificial heart

and made sure it was fully charged
before closing him up.

After a few days in intensive care,

he should be stable enough
to move to a general ward.

Then why did you ask to see me?

Na Bo-bae, you came in
with Baek h*-rang a while back

to get some tests done, remember?

Yeah.

I went through your medical records,

and you were hospitalized here before,
weren't you?

Back then,
when you regained consciousness,

you said you had the feeling
electricity was running through your body.

Is that true?

[Bo-bae] Yeah.

Baek h*-rang was revived
by the electrical current

running through you, through your body.

The situation has changed.

The two of you

can't have any more physical contact.

I need you to understand that.

[hesitates] Why not?

Because when he was brought in tonight,
his battery was drained. It had 0% left.

Which means
the electricity running through you

was enough to restart his heart
and pull him back from cardiac arrest.

If that level of current
runs through him again,

it could overload his artificial heart.

[solemn music playing]

[Jang] What I'm trying to tell you,
Na Bo-bae,

is that you could end up

k*lling Baek h*-rang.

[Bo-bae] Isn't it strange?

So many terrible things
have happened to me lately…

My drama getting canceled.

My brother getting hurt because of me.

All that chaos because of the rumors
about Eun-h* and me.

But nothing hurts as much
as seeing Baek h*-rang lying there.

[machine beeping]

[Bo-bae] Now, if he touches me,

it could k*ll him.

Worse,

just walking into his room
could put him at risk.

Like everything else in my life.

[solemn music intensifies]

[solemn music continues]

[sniffles]

[wailing sobs]

[solemn music continues]

It's okay.

[sniffles] My life
has always been a disaster.

Nothing ever works out for me.

I'm used to being alone by now.

[sniffles]

CHARGING CONTRACT

[sighs]

[sighs] It is what it is.

I'll be alone for the rest of my life.

[sighs heavily]

[sniffles]

[sniffles] So it's okay.

[sobs]

[Eun-h*] Bo-bae.

What are you doing here?

When I heard you fainted,

I went straight to the hospital
because I was worried for you,

but they said
you'd already been discharged, so…

Mr. Yeom Min-kyu told me about your drama.

Mm-hmm. It's been canceled.

Where are you going?

Somewhere

that isn't here.

Back to your old place?
Or, or back with your parents?

[Bo-bae] Eun-h*,

please, I have to go.

But where? Please tell me.

You can't give up on everything and leave
like that. Come on, please wait.

Your drama, I'll do it!

I've spoken to Mr. Yeom about it already.

If we start casting and secure a time slot
with my name as one of the leads, maybe--

Don't do that.

It's over, so don't bother.
It doesn't matter anyway.

How can you say that, Bo-bae?
It's your drama we're talking about.

You're so close to making
the debut you've dreamed of.

-How can you say it doesn't matter?
-Just… [sighs]

Just let me go, please.
Just leave me alone and let me go, okay?

[breathing shakily]

[pensive music playing]

Okay, I'm sorry.

I'll let you go.

Just don't forget
to always follow your heart.

Always.

That's all I'm asking.

[Bo-bae sniffles, sighs]

[sobbing gently]

The video of Baek h*-rang collapsing
is spreading fast.

There are already rumors
about the heir's health,

illness in the family,
even talk of heart disease.

There are also articles about Miss Bo-bae.

First, get every video
and article taken down.

Then compile a list of every media outlet
that published them.

We'll either pull our ads
from those platforms

or we'll sue for defamation.

Yes, ma'am, I will.

That girl,

is h*-rang dating her?

No! Uh. Not at all.

[chuckles] She was with him
only to help recharge his heart.

She's, um, how could I put it?
She's a sort of heart care specialist.

The surgery went well,
so they won't be in contact anymore.

First thing tomorrow,

leak that Choi Do-yoon is
the official heir of TS.

At this point, we can't afford
uncertainty around Baek h*-rang.

-[Jang sighs]
-[assistant] All right. I will, ma'am.

[uneasy music playing]

[door opens]

[door closes]

[h*-rang groans]

Mr. Baek,

you're awake!

The surgery went well.

You've been in bed for four days.

Um…

[groans softly]

Where's Na Bo-bae?

Mr. Baek, please, stop.

You need to rest. Go lie down.

Mr. Baek, please!

[Yoon breathing heavily]

She can't be.

[Yoon sighs]

Na Bo-bae can't be gone.

-Where did she go?
-I don't know.

The house is empty, and it seems like
she changed her phone number.

Sir, please go lie down.

Move.

Mr. Baek, stop. Please come back here!

Mr. Baek!

Hey, you shouldn't be walking around!
You need to go lie down and rest.

Why can't I be with Na Bo-bae?

It's too dangerous.

It could put a strain on your heart.

[h*-rang breathing shakily]

That's just one little risk among others.

It is a risk. A risk I'm not taking!

A 1% chance
it could put your life in danger.

I won't allow it!

[h*-rang breathing heavily]

[sighs]

[music fades]

[wistful music playing]

CHARGING CONTRACT

[h*-rang sighs]

So she just…

took her things and then she left?

[music fades]

Mr. Baek…

[sighs] Did you find out where she went?

I tried to, but she's nowhere to be found

and she stopped working.

The drama has been canceled.

[h*-rang sighs]

Call the police or hire an investigator,
I don't care.

Just find her, no matter what.

[sighs]

Mr. Baek, you need to rest.

You can go looking for Miss Na anytime.

You don't need her
to recharge your heart anymore.

So please just take it easy.

[h*-rang sighs]

No.

Forget it.

I'll find her myself, then.

[sad, wistful music playing]

[footsteps stomping up the stairs]

I told you already,
she won't even answer my calls.

I get it, she worked hard on the script
for the past three years

and it got canceled.

Yeah, okay, but to disappear like that?

It's a bit much, no?

So you have no idea
where Na Bo-bae might have gone?

[Min-kyu] No idea at all.

Bo-bae?

No, it's been a while since I've seen her.
I don't know where she is.

[clears throat] Why?
Should I be worried about her?

You seriously have no idea where she is?

Um, I have to… [chuckles]

I have to get back to work.
Yeah, or else my boss will k*ll me.

Um, but if I hear anything from her,
I'll tell her to give you a call.

Okay, bye now! Take care.

[sad, wistful music continues]

[woman sighs]

Oh, hello!

That house, it's for sale.

What?

The older sister's getting married,

and I heard the brother moved back home
to take care of his parents.

The house is empty. There's no one there.

[poignant Korean ballad playing]

[Bo-bae] You're on.

I'll do it. Your heart's safe with me.

[watch chimes, beeps]

You said my heart was safe with you.

[sighs] But

right now, I feel like it's dying.

[sighs heavily]

Where did you go…

Na Bo-bae?

[sighs]

Where are you?

Na Bo-bae!

Hey!

Everything okay?

Oh, hi, Seo-jeong. I didn't see you.

What happened? There's water everywhere?

Are you okay? Did you even eat today?

Have you been standing here in the dark?

Oh. Yeah.

Is this because of Baek h*-rang?

Uh, no. No, it's not that.

Ah, jeez.

-Earlier today--
-Don't worry, I'll clean it. [sighs]

Hey, it's okay. Give it to me. I'll do it.

-Are you okay?
-That's what I'm asking you.

I'll take care of it. Go rest.

Okay, but our hands--

I said I'll take care of it!

Go rest, it's okay. I'll clean this up.

Don't think about anything else
and go get some sleep, all right?

You'll feel much better tomorrow,
I promise.

[Bo-bae] Just now,

our hands touched,
and nothing happened to her?

-[pensive music playing]
-[door opens]

[door closes]

-[keypad beeps]
-[outgoing call ringing]

Hey, it's Seo-jeong.

Yes, I'm sorry for calling this late.

[doorbell chiming]

[Bo-bae gasps]

Na Bo-bae!

I know you're in there. Open the door!

The studio was a lie,
so was the contract renewal,

and now the drama got canceled,
so you ran off to stay with Seo-jeong?

And apparently, before that,

you were living with a guy?

Have you lost your mind?

Come on, speak up and explain!

How could you lie like that
to your own brother and sister?

That's so unlike you.

Why are you crying?
If it's to shut me up, it's not working!

[Bo-bae sniffles, sobs]

Hey, hey!

What's the matter?

Did some jerk harass my little sister?
I'll find that b*stard!

It's not that.

It's because

I feel weird.

I don't feel like myself.

I don't know what to do with him, and now…

now my electricity thing isn't working.

I think

something broke inside me, I don't know…

Something broke?

It's as if this thing
had a mind of its own.

I don't understand
why I'm suddenly feeling like this.

What if I get even weirder?

I'm already a monster.
I don't wanna be an even bigger one.

Hey, stop it. You're not a monster.

-[sniffles, sobs]
-We'll get through this together, okay?

Do you know exactly when
the electricity thing stopped working?

[Bo-bae sobs]

Ah…

The TS Resort 30th Anniversary
Rebranding Ceremony will begin shortly.

BAEK h*-RANG

[sighs] Still no sign
of Senior Managing Director Baek?

-No.
-[man] Proceed to their assigned places.

[uneasy music playing]

All right, we'll now begin the TS Resort


We have to warn him.

We're proud to introduce
the new brand ambassador of TS Resort.

Ji Eun-h* is one of today's
most sought-after actors.

He has captivated audiences

with his sophisticated style
and refined presence.

He will now make his official debut
as the new face of TS Resort.

Members of the press, this is your moment.

Mr. Ji Eun-h*,
could you please give us a pose?

Please look to your right.

And now to the center.

Thank you. That concludes
Mr. Ji Eun-h*'s photo session.

Now, we'd like to invite
the senior managing director

of TS Resort up on stage.

Sorry, but the senior managing director
is running late, so…

Uh, actually, uh,

the senior managing director of TS Resort
is currently unable to join us,

so we'll move forward with the program.

Please turn your attention to the screen

for the official
TS Resort Rebranding promotional vi…

[cars approaching]

[car door opens]

[uneasy music intensifies]

I hope I'm not too late.

Hello, I'm Choi Do-yoon,

the new senior managing director
of TS Resort.

[man] Oh, yes, everyone, please welcome
the new senior managing director.

-A big round of applause please.
-[applause]

[uneasy music continues]

[Yoon] Chairwoman.

Chairwoman.

Chairwoman.

Right now,

Mr. Baek he's still…

He's still resting and recovering.
If you could just give him more time--

We don't have more time.

I cannot just wait on him forever.

Just a little longer, please.

I'd rather deal with a brat who knows
what he wants and never gives up

rather than a coward who abandons his post
and runs from his duty.

Now go. I have nothing more to say.

[music intensifies]

[music fades]

[Do-yoon] Our first meeting is tomorrow.
How exciting!

Sincerely yours, TS Resort's
Senior Managing Director Choi Do-yoon.

[tense music playing]

[Gyeong-jin] Who picked out this painting?

Wow. I'm not sure we'll keep it in here.

And I told them to put a rug on the floor!

Why can't anyone
do their jobs correctly anymore?

What exactly are you doing here?

Hey!

Be careful!
Do you know how much that costs?

-I'm sorry Mrs. Baek. I'll be careful.
-Seriously.

You're the boss now,
so you should change everything in here.

In this room,
and the entire TS Resort for that matter.

Everything is ugly and outdated.

I'm going to change the terrace
and the lobby too, just so you know.

Yeah, okay.

Make it clear to everyone
that all of this belongs to you.

TS Resort is yours.

Mr. Yoon?

Yes?

What's next
on the redevelopment plan for TS?

-Well…
-Tell me, Mr. Yoon.

I wanna know, since I'm in charge.

What was the next project for TS Resort?

We were in the final stages

of signing an Asia-wide partnership
with Sterling,

the global hotel group.

Sterling?

Baek h*-rang really chose
the best of the best, huh?

That's all.

You may go.

[Do-yoon] Hey, Mr. Yoon.

[tense music fades]

[Do-yoon sighs]

Why are you down here?

[tender music playing]

Na Bo-bae.

You don't look surprised to see me here?

Weren't you trying to find me?

[h*-rang sighs]

I can't

stop dreaming about you.

So I guess…

this isn't real.

Jeez. You're no fun to be around.

I'll just leave, then.

No, please don't.

Seems to me like you've…

been going through a lot.

[h*-rang] Yes.

I'm not sure I…

I've ever felt this much pain in my life.

-[tender music fades]
-[sighs]

[woman] I told you, you can't go in there!

I'm sorry, Mr. Baek.

I saw it was Miss Han Seol-hee
so I opened the door,

but then she burst in
and asked where you were so…

It's okay. You can leave us.

Yes, sir.

Senior Managing Director, you look awful.

[door closes]

Oh, wait. You're not
Senior Managing Director anymore,

Mr. Baek h*-rang.

Get out, please.

Don't tell me you're like this
just because Miss Na Bo-bae left you.

Don't you dare say Na Bo-bae's name.

Are you seriously considering

letting Choi Do-yoon take
TS Resort from you?

-[h*-rang sighs]
-[melancholy music playing]

I don't care about the resort
or anything else.

Now get out.

How can you just drop
everything like this?

It doesn't make any sense.

You once told me if you want to become
the strongest version of yourself,

you must protect yourself first.

You said that. Don't you remember?

No, I don't. [sighs]

So just please stop.

In my life, when things got hard,

I was able to hold on
thanks to your words.

The version of TS Resort you want…

I can help you build it.

I want to be with you, Mr. Baek.

Can you please look at me?

[h*-rang sighs]

Right now…

the only thing I'm thinking of

is that I wish the person in front of me,

looking at me with those eyes,

were Bo-bae and not you, Seol-hee.

Where in the world is she?

Why did she leave me so suddenly?

I miss her so much.

I don't know what to do.

It just doesn't make sense.

[melancholy music continues]

[Bo-bae] Ever since
I was struck by lightning,

I've been dreaming about this day.

The day I would finally stop
emitting electricity.

The day I'd go back
to being a normal person

and everyone would be happy for me.

[melancholy music continues]

[music swells, becomes poignant]

[Bo-bae] But

is this really me going back
to being normal again?

[poignant, melancholy music continues]

[music fades]

[cell phone buzzes]

SIR, YOU SHOULD SEE THIS.

[gentle, heartfelt music playing]

[outgoing call ringing]

Where is Ji Eun-h* right now?

[clears throat] Okay.

[car beeps]

[tires screeching]

Whoa!

Oh sh*t. Who the hell
drives like that in a parking lot?

Wow, great driving skills.
Hello, Mr. Baek.

[h*-rang sighs]

-Give me five minutes.
-Uh, of course.

But make it snappy.
Five minutes, not a second more.

[music intensifies]

Tell me where Na Bo-bae is. I…

Ji Eun-h*, I'm sure you know.

Yes, I do.

Where is she, then?

If she didn't tell you herself,
don't you think there's a reason why?

[music softens]

[h*-rang sighs]

Ji Eun-h*, please.

I'm begging you.

Tell me where I can find her.

[Eun-h* sighs]

I wasn't gonna tell you.

But the look on your face right now,

it's the same one she had
when I last saw her,

so I'll go ahead and tell you.

[Eun-h*] She went to her parents' place
in Daejeon with her sister, Ji-hye.

I heard it from Seo-jeong,
her best friend, so it's probably true.

[tires squealing]

[music fades]

-[Bo-bae] Ah.
-[dad] Bo-bae!

Bo-bae!

Hi, Mom! Hi, Dad!

Oh, my sweet little Bo-bae! You're here!

Mwah, mwah.

Mwah, mwah, mwah. [chuckles]

[mom] Come here, sweetie!

My little baby…

That's enough, jeez!

…is a big girl now!

What are you doing here?
You never told us you were coming.

Your brother said you had
a huge work contract. Is everything okay?

I just wanted to come visit
because it's been forever. [chuckles]

Is that really the reason why?
Why aren't you looking me in the eye?

And also,
'cause I want to see big brother's dojo.

Where is it, by the way?
I'll stop by and see what it's like.

Oh. It's on the second floor
of that building where we used to live.

Oh, okay. See you later, then.

-All righty!
-See you later!

-See you.
-[both chuckle]

What's going on?

Something's up.
I can tell by the look on her face.

Well? What's wrong?

[inhales deeply, sighs]

Say it.

I'm not sure.

[Yong-gi] Four, five,
six, seven, eight, switch.

[kids] One, two, three,
four, five, six, seven, eight.

Now put your hand on your knee.

One, two, three,
four, five, six, seven, eight.

What?

How long has it been
since it stopped working?

Oh, I'm getting anxious.

Is this gonna to cause an accident?

[unsettling music playing]

[Yong-gi] Four, five, six, seven, eight.

[kids] One, two, three,
four, five, six, seven, eight.

[Yong-gi] Now your hips. One, two,
three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

-[electronic whirring, crackling]
-[kids counting]

[uneasy music playing]

-Wh… what?
-[Yong-gi] Now shake your hands.

[girl gasps] What happened?

[boy] What's wrong with the lights?
Why are they going on and off?

[boy 2] What's going on?

-The lights!
-[Bo-bae] No…

It's starting…

Here we go again.

My curse that ruins everything is back.

[kids screaming]

Everybody, stay calm.
Hey, no. Please, stay calm.

Don't worry. It's just a power outage.

Let's all go to the front of the room.
Follow my voice. This way.

[uneasy music continues]

[uneasy music fades]

[Korean ballad playing]

[Bo-bae] Right this moment…

the person I want to protect the most
from this curse

is standing in front of me.

[lyrics in Korean]

[Korean ballad continues]

[music fades out]
