[Seoul] Hello.
Welcome.
I'm a bit late, so can you make this quick?
Will do.
We'll be going now.
- Hey, sweetie! - Dad!

Customer's work day has ended
Time to pick up the next customer...
I'm heading home!
- Salute! - Hi.
Let's go.
Delivery Man
How are things going these days? Doable? [Episode 1]
How much longer are you going to play pretend as third generation chaebol?
You're driving a taxi because you got kicked out of your house.
It's because my family runs a transportation business.
They're telling me to start from the bottom and climb up, so what can I do?
By the way... why don't you drive a little faster?
A high end speaker set from Italy is waiting for me.
You're probably the first person to want to put Italian speakers in a taxi.
Did you paid your taxi dues?
What? The private payments?
Well...
I deposited it, and even had some leftover money for my own account.
You even had some leftover...
As I thought, being in demand is key.
An airport taxi, and a private taxi for foreigners...
Y-you have a personal taxi, while mine's a company taxi.
From the point of views of others, you were born with a silver spoon.
That's my speaker.
32Chi 2248
Sir!
Wait, wait, wait!
Mine, mine, mine! Mine! Mine!
That's mine! Sir! Wait!
Catch him!
Hey, step on it!
What are you doing? We need to catch him!
If you catch him, I'll give you 300,000 won ($250).
300,000...
400,000 ($330)!
- 500,000 ($410). - Fine! Deal!
Okay, deal. Put your seat belt on.
Hey, what if you lost him!?
It hasn't even been a minute since the car left.
It probably didn't even reach the main street yet.
This is 8255 Seo Yeong Min.
Heukwoon-dong Changshin apartment thief 2248. They're on the run in a silver car.
Please report to police, and share their location.
Oh, this is that taxi cop thing?
Hey, hey! Over there, there, there!
We got him. Got him! That's right.
That's right!
What? Why are you suddenly slowing down?
This is a school zone.
Getting fined is okay,
but I can't get fines with penalty points.
- Reported to the police. - Thank you.
They said a patrol car is on the way.
They should be catching them on their own. Cooperate my ass...
Oh?
Oh, is that 2248?
Oh!? 2248!
I'm at the entrance to Heukwoon-dong,
the criminal's car just turned right towards Daehoon Hospital!
Did you hear me!?
Over there!
That way! That way! That way!
A 2248 silver car just went into the alley behind the backdoor of the butcher shop.
Okay, in that case please ask the patrol car to head that way.
Hey, where are you going!? You're supposed to go towards the butcher shop!
There's a garbage truck going by right now.
It's been two or three minutes, but they won't wait when they know they're being chased.
Hey...
Damn it! To the right, right, right!
Reverse!
Hey, the cops are here!
What!?
You bastard...
Don't follow me.
Hey!
I said don't follow me!
Hey, why are you throwing a fit? You're not even a cop.
I used to be...
an aspiring police officer.
What a crazy guy...
Seriously!
So you want to die, huh?
Let go.
I said, let go!
Let go.
You're dead.
Let go!
Just one second, come on let me go.
Hey, hey! Over here!
Hyung!
What? What is it? Are you hurt?
That'll be 20,000 won ($16) for the taxi, the 500,000 won that you promised me,
and including the traffic fine,
a total of 750,000 won ($615).
Aren't you so thorough when it comes to money?
Over here! Here! Here!
A duo of vacant house thieves who stole 500,000 won worth of cash and goods from thirty houses in the metropolitan area,
have been arrested thanks to tight cooperation between the police and taxi drivers.
The police were getting...
Make mine "sunny side up".
Huh? Sunny what?
Half cooked.
You're English is good grandma.
If you ever go to brunch with a woman,
make sure you say "sunny side up" for the eggs, so you look elegant.
Memorize it. "Sunny side up."
Grandma,
I like my eggs cooked all the way.
How tacky...
I wonder who you take after.
Grandma, you have to take your medicine, so enjoy your meal.
Okay.
I'm going to get going.
Take care!
Okay.
He's working so hard...
My grandson is taking over all the duties of my child.
My money!
500 won ($0.40)... I'm missing 500 won.
What's this?
Did a customer lose this?
Mr. Seo Yeong Min?
The house will go to auction if you can't pay your mortgage payments.
- Excuse me? - The grace period for your house payments has ended.
Your mortgage bills should have been mailed to you.
I came in person because they don't seem to have been taken care of yet.
A late fee of 20 million won ($16,410),
and the amount I have to pay back...
- 100 million won ($82,000)!? - But the fact that it hasn't been checked for three months...
that's a bit strange.
There was a reason.
By the way... where am I going to get such a huge amount of money...?
Well, there's still hope.
If you deposit 20 million won before next month, the house won't go to auction.
20 million won...
Where am I going to get 20 million won? 20 million...
Mister driver...
The Mangwoori cemetery please.
Yes, come on in.
Hey, stop it!
We're actors. Actors.
Let's go!
Please put your seat belts on.
We did!
- We're here. - Thank you!
Bye!
The bank won't loan me anymore money,
and with the insurance, union fees, gas, taxi call membership, and repair fees...
I have to pay at least 150,000 won ($1230) a month...
Where am I supposed to get 20 million won right now?
No,
it's not over until it's over.
Mom did it too.
I'll work 30 days out of the remaining 30 days, and repay it.
Seo Yeong Min! Hwaiiting!
What's wrong with this thing?
W-what's wrong with this?
Excuse...
Excuse me.
The customers earlier all got off already...
Your friends...
got off at the shoot location...
I'm sorry. I'll get off.
What?
Why is she like that?
Why isn't Yeong Min home yet?
Does he have a lot of customers today?
I hope he gets a good one.
E-excuse me.
Excuse me, mister driver?
Mister driver?
Mister driver-
W-what? What is this?
I passed through.
Am I...
dead?
Ghost.
Where are you going!?
Mister driver!
No way.
She's a real ghost?
From where, why... so suddenly?
Where on earth did she come from?
Stop, stop! It's my taxi! My taxi.
You can't park here. Move it now.
I will, I will. But...
can you check one thing for me?
What?
Can you check if someone's in the car?
Just once?
Is there anyone in there, by any chance?
What do you mean?
Right?
As I thought.
Is my chi low these days or something?
Thank you.
You're finally here.
Calm down a bit.
Mister driver...
Don't you think we should talk about this situation a bit?
Why on earth...
are you in my taxi?
I don't know either.
Why?
I don't know. I really don't know.
Why?
Who I am, where I am...
I don't remember any thing.
Mister driver, do you know me by any chance?
We've forwarded your case to the Dongpa police station for further investigation.
It may take up to three days to reassign a lead investigator.
The investigator in charge is changing?
Help! Nurse!
Kang Ji Hyeon
Know you?! This is the first time I'm seeing you.
Come on, look closely.
You might have seen me somewhere.
Mister driver, are you a medium?
A m-medium?
I'm a t-taxi driver.
If not, then how can you see me?
And why am I here?
I don't know either, this really is the first time I've seen you.
Well, in that case...
there's one possibility that comes to mind...
One... possibility?
While you were passed out, I looked around the taxi,
but then...
But then?
The blood mark in the back seat.
This means the taxi hit me and-
Nonsense!
This taxi has been accident free ever since my mother drove it. A whopping twenty years!
Then you murdered me?
Don't say such a frightening thing...
You're a prime suspect!
She keeps throwing a fit asking me to spray blood on her.
Oh, no! This is white! The blood pack exploded!
We're sorry.
It's okay, I'll clean it later.
See?
I'm innocent. Get out of my taxi right now!
I want to, but...
I can't.
Really, I can't get away from this taxi.
Why?
You're out here with no problems. If you just go somewhere-
Just... look.
See?
I was right, weren't I?
I...
can't...
get away from this taxi!
It's time to pick up a customer...
Welcome.
Hello.
Did you put your seat belt on?
Yes.
I'll be going now.
Wow. Even in this situation, you're still working?
One second driver, could you pull over?
- Excuse me? - One second, just a moment.
Are you okay?
I feel better now that I'm off.
Excuse me?
That's strange. I've never felt sick in your taxi before. I wonder what's going on.
It feels strange, as if there's something in there.
It feels creepy and gives me the goosebumps.
Sorry, but I don't think I can ride in your taxi. My stomach is hurting a bit.
I'll call you next time. I'm sorry.
Available
My business is suffering because of you. None of the customers can get on.
What about my regulars? I have to pay back my mortgage...
I mean...
There's no evidence that the customers are feeling nauseous because of me...
Didn't you hear what he said earlier?
He felt nauseous and got goosebumps like there was a ghost in the taxi.
This is all because of you.
What are you doing? Why are you turning this on?
You're illegally occupying my taxi right now.
Illegal occupying. In other words, riding for free.
How are you planning to pay my taxi fees?
Why didn't you just reference paragraph 1 of article 3 of the Misdemeanor Punishment Act:
"Violators are subject to detention or a fine of less than 10,000 won."
You're right... How did you know that?
How did I know that...?
Am I possibly someone who worked in law?
In any case, I'm going to get my ride fee for sure.
I'll find out who you are, and I'll get the fee even if I have to get it from your family!
Really? That'd be great for me.
You're asking us to find a person just by looking at this?
This was drawn as best as I could...
Are you saying this is me right now?
Then... is there a woman who died in an accident near here?
She's in her 20's or 30's?
No, maybe 40's or 50's?
Excuse me!?
I'm not reflected in the mirror.
H-hello. Hello.
Hello. Hello.
From hearing my voice, I don't think I'm that old...
Mister driver, do I really look like I'm in my 50's?
I don't think there is.
Thank you.
Mister driver.
Can't you try one more time? Mister driver...
I'll begin the briefing on the case of Kang Ji Hyeon, transferred from the Bukdaemun police station.
The date Kang Ji Hyeon was first discovered was April 12th at 11 PM.
Kang Ji Hyeon was first discovered by her friend Kang Hyeong Soo.
I couldn't eat a single meal today.
Taxi drivers eat with the money they earn during the day,
but today, I earned nothing.
You're unbelievable.
How can you only be thinking about money, money, money!?
If I were you, I'd be curious about me. Why I'm like this.
Don't you have any sympathy?
How can I have sympathy when I'm about to lose my house if I can't pay my mortgage bills.
My house, my grandma... are you going to take care of them!?
So please...
Disappear off on your own!
Mister driver...
Mister driver?
Mister driver!
Does he think I'm here because I want to?
Anyways, don't ghost usually remember something?
Seoul 20Ba 8255
20Ba, 8255?
That's familiar...
What is it?
She can't come this far, right?
Why are you standing there instead of coming in?
What's going on?
You stayed out all night, which you never do.
Grandma...
I mean, why on earth is that ghost stuck with me?
No. This is a dream. If I go to sleep and wake up,
everything will be okay.
I reserved this taxi.
- I reserved it. - Ma'am?
Hello.
Here.
The person in the passenger seat is my mother who has Alzheimer's.
Thank you for understanding.
I'm sorry but would you sit in the back please?
Y-yes.
Watch your head.
I'm closing the door.
Thanks.
Can you hold this?
- Okay. - I'm leaving.
Why isn't Yeong Min around these days?
I don't know, I can't reach him either. I wonder if he's alright.
I'm going.
Did you have a scary dream?
It's lunch time. How much longer are you going to sleep?
The other grandmas and I said we'd go to Burger Majesty today.
Take me now.
What?
You're going to be in my taxi today?
Yes.
It's so hot.
There it is.
I mean, why did you park it so far instead of parking it at home?
Grandma!
I...
I think you should seat in the back today, there's something on the passenger seat.
Yeah? Okay.
Oh, so she's your grandmother.
Hello grandma.
Why would you say hi? Why?
What?
Grandma, take another taxi. I'll get it for you.
I mean, why would I ride a different taxi when my grandson already drives a taxi?
You're all about saving money usually. Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed today?
It's just... You have a chronic illness, and if something shocking happens...
I'm late!
We said we'd order Kioski or something today.
Driver Seo, please get going.
"Please get going."
Why do you keep looking at me? Look forward. In front.
Grandma,
are you okay?
Were the noodles I had yesterday bad?
I feel a bit nauseous.
It looks like that wasn't where you usually park.
You must've parked there on purpose yesterday, right?
E-excuse me.
Mister driver, why are you doing this!? Can't you see-
I'm driving, why are you acting like this?
Watch out, watch out, watch out!
Grandma, are you okay?
What on earth...
I'm okay.
Mister driver,
this is an act of killing me twice.
I'll do better, so please give me one more chance, please?
Just calmly pass on to the other side.
My blood, and my money is being wasted.
You shouldn't talk to things like that.
Okay.
Evil beings, disappear, disappear, disappear.
Evil beings, disappear, disappear, disappear, disappear.
What is this?
Teleportation?
Excuse me, did you not see by any chance?
It's over there.
What?
Are you saying that you don't trust me?
No.
Then...
this will work wonders.
"I'm hungry, give me some money to cross over."
Oh my gosh!
My ears hurt!
Mister driver,
don't you think this is a waste of your blood and your money?
I think she's a fraud! A fraud!
Yes, doctor.
This person is a really, really important customer.
It means I can't refuse because I have a ghost.
Now that I think about it, I think it'll be fine if you aren't here.
The trunk or...
The roof! How about the roof?
Ghosts have human rights too.
Isn't the roof a bit too harsh?
Ghosts don't have rights! You're riding for free!
Look forward!
Mr. Yeong Min, I received an urgent call, but my car is being repaired.
You said you were on the way just in time, so I decided to ask you.
Yes, I'll go as fast as I can.
Thank you.
Mister driver. Mister driver?
See? There are people who are fine!
It's just people with weak chi that can't get on because of a ghost.
That's a cowardly excuse.
See this person?
Breathing 45. Saturation fell to 80.
Test the ABG as soon as you go in.
Okay.
Oh, he's a doctor.
I wonder if I was like that.
Once the test is done, put the oxygen on and...
Mom... mom!
Daehoon Hospital emergency room, hurry!
Hey, Seo Yeong Min!
You didn't come when I called, but I heard you came right away when Dr. Do called you.
That's not fair.
Sorry, sorry. There's just been a lot going on.
By the way, I brought for Dr. Do. Could you give it to him?
Is that why you were waiting?
Give it to him yourself.
Should I get him for you?
Wait here.
Mr. Yeong Min, yes?
You're doing this again.
Well, you're probably tired these days, so take this and good luck.
You don't have to give me these kind of things. How much longer are you going to keep this up?
It wouldn't be enough, even if I were to thank you my entire life.
I'll enjoy it.
Thank you, Mr. Yeong Min.
They're affectionate.
I wonder what their relationship is to be like that.
Wait. This is your house.
Right?
The empty parking lot...
is very dark with no street lamps,
and there are a lot of strange things too.
I was scared.
And... it's inconvenient for you too.
What is she going on about?
I really hate it there. I'm really scared!
So please, can't you park here?
I'll be good, please?
You saw how my grandma almost got hurt earlier, right?
Above all else, I can't stand something happening to my grandma.
Do not,
do not come inside.
Of course mister driver.
I'm not an unfaithful ghost.
As if ghosts have faith...
Good job today.
Dongpa-gu Elderly Employment Portal
I told her to just go and enjoy life, but she's looking at stuff like this again.
I wonder if she made sure to take her medicine today...
Grandma, wake up.
Grandma.
Yeong Min, you're home.
You should sleep in the bedroom.
Good night.
So pretty.
This was made well.
Bun Ja, Jin Sook, Yeong Min...
One day...
suddenly...
a ghost...
got stuck to my taxi.
Is there a way to get rid of it?
It's bright at least, less scary.
Anyways, why can't I get away from this taxi?
To find that out, I should stick to him like glue.
Good night mister driver.

Reply by Cheongdam-dong Flower Doryeong. [T/N: Doryeong is a title used by male mediums]
What could "the door to the ghost realm has been opened" mean?
Well anyways, what can I do? I'm the only one who can earn money.
Hello mister driver.
Did you have a good night's sleep?
Why are you acting like this?
You're scary even if you're just there, and you're making it worse.
Why am I acting like this?
Because all of these events were meant to be, it'll be nice to be friendly.
Why would we be friendly?
Do you have two personalities?
Never mind that, let's get in.
You need to earn money. The money that you like.
I've been thinking for a bit.
It's not like no one can get in the car because I'm in here.
And even yesterday, the doctor was fine.
So what I'm saying is,
I'll quickly move when the customers get in.
There's a customer right there.
Aren't you getting in?
Me?
Is it really okay for me to get in?
Of course.
Did the door to the ghost realm really open? Is that why they're all getting in? Like a buy one get one free?
You're no help to my life.
I mean... why is a ghost scared of another ghost?
This is my first time seeing a real ghost too. What am I supposed to do?
You're the first person I can talk to! Nice to meet you!
I mean, my taxi isn't some meeting place for ghosts or something, why are you doing this!
Sir, there's something I have to tell you.
Wait!
I saw this person first.
I mean...
it's not like it's first come, first serve.
Sir, I-
It hurts, hurts, it hurts.
Did you see that?
I was so natural.
Maybe I was a security guard?
Let go, come on! Let me go.
Seriously, I... I'm saying still because you're a woman, if I decided to-
Decided to what?
Uncle, uncle! Let go!
Are you a gangster?
Who are you!?
I know right? Who could I be?
Sir, if you listen to me-
You're just acting weak, aren't you?
I'm telling you, I saw this person first.
I should be the first one to talk to him, no?
- It's not important who goes first! - This is a problem here!
Stop!
Do you think you're in line at a bank or something?!
I mean, I'm telling you I saw this driver first.
And I'm saying, why is it important who saw him first?
How can a person have no manners like this? I'm first, and you're next.
I'm not a person, I'm a ghost.
You're being childish.
I was never childish, and also,
meeting a person who can see me for the first time, that's more important to me!
Oh, wow, why is the back of my neck straining and hurting?
Mister driver, I'm sorry.
Sir, sir!
I'm ruined.
This taxi is done for.
- It's not like waiting is not important- - What?
- Why!? - There's is no order in who goes first when you die.
- Did you die first? - We're living in a world where that's not important.
How can you judge if you're more important than me-
I'm seeing all these random ghosts.
Why am I not seeing you, mom?
I have something I really want to say to you.
Mom, I'm sorry, but...
I'm really sorry, but...
I don't think I can do it.
Used car showing
W-wait! Mister driver! Mister driver,
think things over one more time.
You're currently ignoring two people, no,
you're ignoring the desperation of two ghosts.
Speaking of, if you'd just listen to me-
Hey! I said I'm first!
Say what you want to the next owner.
It was awful meeting you, and let's never meet again.
Wait! Other people can't see me!
Who I am, or why I died...
I can't end it without knowing anything.
That's...
your own business.
What a rude jerk.
Mister driver! Mister driver!
- Mister driver. - Mister driver.
Mister driver!
Excuse me!
Can you see me?
Could you get the gold rings out of that car?
Gold?
My child is sick...
I got in a car accident while I was going to sell the ring from my child's hundredth day celebration, along with other gold pieces.
My wife then sold the car without knowing that.
My child is at the Sangji hospital right now.
That person is alive, right?
Could you please...
Mister driver!
He says there's gold in this car, gold!
It fell between here because it was in an accident.
It's true.
I think it'll help with my child's hospital fees if we had these at least.
Do you think you could help?
Mister driver,
it looks like a ghost can be helpful like this.
So, why don't you... reconsider?
Sir! Are you interested in that car? You have a good eye!
Sir!
- I'll come back next time! - Sir!
- Sir! Sir! - Mister driver.
- Mister driver! - Is he... keeping it!?
Mister driver!
Na Jeong, what is this? Who gave this to you?
Some ajussi did.
And he said that dad's giving this to me, to give to you.
Dad?
If the dealer saw, they would've claimed them instead of passing them without a fuss.
I see... that's why.
What is it?
Dad says this is yours.
Oh, thank you.
A ghost giving money...
Mister driver, where are you going?
Where do you think? I'm going to sell the taxi.
Mister driver, I've been thinking,
and you should be more reasonable in situations like this.
You're in need of money, right?
You just need to drive the taxi and earn money, and that money can still come from ghosts, right?
Mister driver, how much are you in debt?
20 million won.
Why? Are you going to give it to me?
That money... I'll give it to you!
I may not look it, but I was placed in the VIP room of the Daehoon hospital mortuary.
Wow! If you had enough money to have your wake in the Daehoon hospital VIP room...
That place is so expensive!
You have to be at least...
a director level at a big company.
Of course. The VIP room at my hospital is very expensive!
I mean, do you think I don't have the money to give you what you need?
Ghosts...
can pay for taxi fees?
What do you think of a taxi just for ghosts?
A private taxi for ghosts...
Yes!
I mean, there are pet taxis that only board cats and dogs,
and there are taxis that only deliver food.
Being in demand for driving ghosts only.
I'll be the sales manager.
I'll get every ghost that goes by,
so you can leave that part to me.
If you think about it, I found this person too.
A ghost giving money...
If you do that, you can pay back your entire debt.
It's raining money!
And, you can grant my wish. Who I am, and why I died.
It'd be good for both of us, right?
What do you think mister driver? In this world, the one and only...
Let's do it.
A private taxi for ghosts.
Yes! ♫ Got stuck ♫
♫ Stuck, stuck, stuck ♫
♫ It got stuck (My heart got) ♫
♫ stuck, stuck, stuck I'm coming to get you ♫
♫ Our relationship makes no sense ♫
♫ If it's destiny ♫
♫ I'll tell you honestly ♫
♫ I need you ♫
♫ You appear and disappear ♫
[Delivery Man]
I'm glad you exist.
Who would listen and help us?
You say it's because of money, but I'm grateful.
I will take you to your destination swiftly.
I died in a work accident only after being married for a month.
Industrial accident compensation was estimated at 300 million won ($246,000).
You said you were an orphan.
I don't have a mother.
I was stupid to trust a ghost.
