[Episode 8] - Come on, Team Leader! - I told you I'm busy!
- Come on, Team Leader... - Gosh, seriously.
It's a desk, and it says Kokdu on it.
Look for it carefully, please?
There are so many collection companies,
so I can't find it with just that!
Double!
I'll pay you double.
Young lady,
I can't even take a taxi with that money.
Go. Just go.
- Gosh! Q-Quadruple! - This young lady...
You know how to get someone's heart.
Okay. But you need to pay upfront.
Okay.
What's with this young lady...
You'll get someone in big trouble!
She's not...
Han Gye Jeol, no...
Han Gye Jeol, leave!
Leave, Han Gye Jeol! Leave!
Han Gye Jeol... Han Gye Jeol!
Call me! Please call me!
Shit!
Please call on me!
- Kok- - That's right!
Kokdu-
Once again, once more!
- Kokdu, please come bac- - Call me one more time, Han Gye Jeol.
Han Gye Jeol!
What the...
Why would you pop out from there?
Ms. Kim Yang Ja?
I'm sorry...
I mean...
what's this all about?
If you don't explain to us your reason, we have no choice but to report you.
I wasn't trying to harm her. Please...
Please don't report me...
I mean,
what were you trying to find here?
The health examination results...
Excuse me?
Apart from having severe diabetes, there was nothing wrong with your results.
I have...
severe diabetes to the point of needing insulin shots.
At first, I told my bosses honestly,
but they kept firing me
saying they were worried about making me work.
So I didn't say anything this time,
but I thought my boss might find out, so...
If I get fired from this job,
I have nowhere to go.
Are you okay?
Now that I think about it, I haven't even had the chance to thank you.
Thank you.
It was good that I was able to help you.
But...
how were you there right at that moment?
There was something I had left behind,
so I just happened to drop by.
So you just happened to drop by and just happened to help me.
When did you start following me?
Since when
did you know?
I heard footsteps following me on the way to the clinic.
I was a bit excited to think that some guy was following me...
Were you disappointed that it was me?
Gosh, you're definitely not someone that anyone could be disappointed by.
I guess...
I'm also not someone's type either.
That's why you keep looking for Kokdu's seat.
By chance, did you follow me all the way there?
- You said you were scared. - Excuse me?
You said you were scared when Park Choong Seong disappeared
because you thought maybe Kim Pil Su might have been responsible.
I'm an ordinary person,
so I don't have the ability to find or protect someone.
So,
I did...
what I could.
You've gone through so much trouble for nothing.
You didn't need to do all that.
Seeing you keep searching for Kokdu,
I thought I should convey my feelings this way.
How would you convey the feelings for me when you don't feel them?
Professor, you don't like me like that.
I'm an expert at crushes, so I know at which point I'll be rejected.
You said I liked you while I was Kokdu.
I want to know what part of you I liked so much.
So,
I want to make the time that I spent as Kokdu my own.
Don't try to be greedy for the time you have no memory of.
You will end up getting sick from indigestion.
I'm already sick.
So,
I'm asking you to fix me.
Perhaps Kokdu may be someone like Hyde from Jekyll and Hyde.
- Multiple personalities? - Yes.
I can't be sure of it medically, but that's how I see it.
I don't know why Kokdu appeared,
but what I do know is that he keeps obsessing over you within me.
So, if you keep missing that guy,
I'm afraid he might appear again.
And so...
you're telling me not to even miss him?
I know you have feelings for Kokdu.
So, perhaps, you may want me to
keep having him within me.
That's...
Yes. That's right.
I can't lie.
But the thing is...
in a world where someone must hide the fact they have diabetes,
will I be able to live having him within me?
Please help me so the personality known as Kokdu can disappear...
so that I can keep living as Do Jin Woo.
Even if I don't have any feelings for you,
we could meet as a doctor and a patient.
I-I'll think about it...
Dr. Han.
In the end, Kokdu is
an illusion.
Don't get hurt by getting deceived by a mirage
that might fade at any moment.
By chance...
do you know my mom?
Should I know her?
By chance,
do you know...
my mom?
I know her too well.
You and your mom.
Seeing how they have different memories,
it does seem to be multiple personalities...
Why is Kokdu a mirage!
Gosh, so frustrating!
My insides are burning up...
He should've told me sooner...
My heart has already gone fully over to the mirage...
So you're saying this side is mine, right?
In any case...
you're so selfish.
Your eye for people has improved greatly.
I am quite selfish.
There will never be another like me in this world...
A miracle!
You think you're all that!
Still...
I miss him...
Hello, I am Nam Seok Ho, head of the pharmaceutical review department
of the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.
[Approval Document] On September 29, 2022,
we would like to inform you that Pilseong Bio's new drug, Axis, has passed
phase 3 clinical trials and has been officially approved.
Congratulations, sir.
Today is a historic day.
In one month, Axis, our new drug for cartilage regeneration, will be released.
Once our Pilseong Bio gets listed,
we will become a giant that can compete with Pilseong Group itself.
Now, let's come out from the shadow of the Pilseong Group,
and go out into the world!
Yes!
Does Do Jin Woo really not know about the list? Are you sure?
He could have deceived you after noticing that something was off.
I thought that could be the case,
so I beat up Park Choong Seong. But...
no matter how much I tortured him, Park Choong Seong didn't know anything.
Also,
there's no evidence of Do Jin Woo contacting Park Choong Seong separately.
The new drug I've been waiting about 10 years is about to be released.
I can't sit idly by with a ticking time bomb in our hands.
I'll take care of him.
Whether he dies from carbon monoxide poisoning or from an accident, he will die.
How about we bury it as a sudden heart attack, Chairman?
Why are you putting that away?
Since there is no more need for it.
- Are you going to kill me? - You will die.
When tomorrow comes, you will die completely.
Why is it tomorrow of all days?
Since it's the 49th day since you died.
Do you think it's called a 49-day vigil for no reason?
It means even the toughest spirit can't live past that date.
So why don't you quietly hand over
your soon-to-decay body to Master Kokdu.
God has given you one more day.
Think carefully about whether you will use that day for Han Gye Jeol
or for yourself.
You will die.
When tomorrow comes,
you will die completely.
I will...
survive and go on.
Dr. Han.
What brings you here, Professor?
- I came because I was anxious. - Anxious?
There was a call
from Yeongpo Public Health Center,
telling me to come in personally
if I want to fix the house call doctor pilot business application.
But you know I'm not in the best of state these days.
I'm afraid something might happen if I go by myself...
Oh... I see...
So please come with me.
Oh, wait.
- Hello? - Oh, young lady!
I found that desk. Hurry up and come!
Really?
But...
I'm a bit busy right now,
so I'll be there in about two hours.
I barely managed to get it pulled from the destruction pile.
Come in 30 minutes.
H-Hello?
Team Leader! Team-
Well...
Something really important came up.
Please go to the public health center first. I'll follow you right after.
I'll go with you.
You can't!
What is it that...
What kind of relationship do we have that we go everywhere together?
Aren't we colleagues, at least?
There is a boundary you should keep between colleagues.
And you've slightly crossed that line.
How about a doctor-patient relationship?
Who should I be treating exactly?
Kokdu, whom I've seen
talked a bit harshly, but at least he seemed free.
He was healthy without any issues.
But Professor,
you seem to be constantly anxious and unhappy.
Perhaps Kokdu was the person you always wanted to be, Professor.
How about you try to acknowledge that and accept it?
That is impossible.
Since we are two separate individuals.
Professor, I thought
Kokdu was you without your memories, Professor.
I thought as long as your memories returned,
I will have an awesome flower road to walk ahead of me.
But even though your memories have returned,
my heart feels like a minefield.
I feel like I am two-timing
between the two of you.
I thought to myself about how I must be going crazy,
but after hearing what you had to say,
I finally understand.
For me, Kokdu is
not another memory of you, Professor,
nor is he a different personality of you.
He was just a totally different person from you.
I know it doesn't make any sense.
It doesn't make any sense,
but what feelings actually do make sense?
Are you saying
you have no interest in helping me?
I'm telling you I don't deserve to help you.
I'll do my best to find you another doctor.
I'm sorry.
No.
Whether he dies from carbon monoxide poisoning
or from an accident, he will die.
How about we bury it as a sudden heart attack, Chairman?
What's with the snow?
Hey, patient!
Are you okay?
How dare you lay a hand on me!
Come on, Kokdu. Come back!
Ok Shin, you've finally managed to get something done.
[Kokdu] It's so heavy!
He should protect his own desk!
Come on, Kokdu. Come back!
Don't you hear me? Come here for a second!
- I told you to come! - You should stop.
You've called me enough times.
I told you to go wait at the public health center, so why are you here?
I mistakenly thought we were in the middle of a breakup because I was waiting too long.
But you managed to get this desk back...
He's talking informally to me now?
So you're saying you're pissed off, huh?
I thought I would never see you again...
The weaker my heart becomes,
the better I can feel the things I let pass me by.
How weak has my heart
become right now?
- P-Professor, are you crazy? - All of a sudden?
Touching someone without their consent is sexual harassment, right?
That really offended me!
You don't look all that offended.
How come perpetrators always say the same thing?
I guess you all attend the same seminar at some school!
I would know my own feelings, so what would you know?
L-Look at this!
I-I'm getting goosebumps,
and my heart is racing!
Why...
Why is my heart like this?
You've gotten worse during the time I was away...
What did that guy Do Jin Woo do?
- Han Gye Jeol, it's me. Listen to me- - Wait, stop!
Listen to me first, Professor.
I told you clearly,
I'm not someone who will two-time between you and Kokdu, Professor.
Do you know what I've seen and heard for myself?
But I suppose those who say they aren't that type of person are exactly that.
Oh? I see you must have thought of me that way.
The master of two-timing and an expert at playing hard to get!
- Something like that. - Expert?
No way. Don't misunderstand.
You have no skill in that area.
Then why don't you even pay heed to what I say?
I told you like 500 times that's not how we are
and keep your boundaries. So why do you keep crossing the line?
I'm saying this because I don't remember well,
but what kind of relationship do we have?
Are we before building the Great Wall or in the process of building it?
Again, again! You're doing it again!
If you keep being like this, then I may just destroy that Wall!
All right, great idea!
You should never set up a wall like that between a man and a woman.
And what's that supposed to mean-
Don't you know why there's a saying about building the Great Wall overnight?
Why are you bringing up old phrases?
Oh, did you drop by some sacred place or something?
Are you stupid?
Average Joe, Jane Doe, Out of the ordinary, Plebs! Don't you know?
What's with these phrases all of a sudden?
You must've been hiding out in some sacred place or something.
Now that I think of it, something's strange...
You were talking to me without honorifics
and you spoke and treated me harshly.
You're Kokdu, right?
What if I'm Kokdu?
So you can send me away again?
I'm Do Jin Woo.
I don't think so. You're definitely Kokdu.
I told you I'm not! Have you been lied to all your life?
In any case,
I can see that our relationship is such that we've broken the Great Wall.
What happens when I cross the line in such a relationship?
Will there be a war or a unification?
You see, you see! You're definitely Kokdu.
Or else, you couldn't say such crazy things so affectionately!
What! Crazy?
That's why you always-
You felt it was affectionate?
You felt affection for Kokdu and liked him, yeah?
Since he disappeared, did you miss him and want him to come back?
Professor.
Are you testing me by pretending to be Kokdu?
How did she know that I was testing her?
I understand you're doing this because you are anxious.
Since there's not a lot known about multiple personality disorders,
you probably want to try anything, even if it's grasping at straws.
- Multiple personalities? - But still...
I already told you how I feel about Kokdu earlier.
How do you think of me?
So,
I can't let Kokdu disappear for good.
So how do you think of me!
I have nothing more to say to you.
Please find another doctor.
And did you check the site of Daegwallyeong Farm or Ansan Factory?
H-Hey, he didn't sell the Gangnam property, right? Did you check the Gangnam property?
Yes, Chairman. We checked all of it.
None of it had a transfer of ownership.
Okay, great work.
Good job, Secretary Jang.
What did you have Secretary Jang do again?
I'm checking to see if Kokdu did any transfers of ownership again.
Why? You're afraid he might have donated everything?
Yeah.
I don't know why that evil bastard pretends to be good.
It's not like poop water becomes clear from adding a drop of clean water.
Why does he always try to show off with my money before he leaves?
Hey!
Don't badmouth Master Kokdu like that.
Were you always a necessary person to others?
A person?
I'm not a person.
Anyway, because he died suddenly this time, he donated nothing.
Wow, it turns out that Do Jin Woo
was a blessing. A blessing, I tell you!
Whoa! You scared me!
Really?
A blessing?
Do Jin Woo! What's with you? Why are you here?
Why? Did you decide to offer up your body now?
You thought well, Do Jin Woo.
So, you guys were lying around comfortably like this
while eating snacks
and waiting for the fruit to fall from the tree, I see.
Something's off.
A dagger comes flying and pierces my heart.
I can't return because you guys are so off!
Hey!
Oh, Master Kokdu!
Master Kokdu!
Shin Se Gi,
Jonah,
Yo Seob, Na Na.
These are all personalities?
They all look nice and kind, so why would you get rid of them?
Yes, you're right.
But these guys look nice,
but they're like parasites that live in Cha Do Hyun.
All right.
If it were you, Master Kokdu,
no matter how good the parasite looks,
will you live with it,
or take medicine and eradicate it?
Are you the Communist Party talking about eradication?
Also,
Han Gye Jeol can't do that.
It appears...
she likes me.
What?
She said it with her own lips.
She's affectionate of me.
Apparently, Do Jin Woo is not that great.
She has a great eye for people.
You should say things that make sense.
Would she have sent you to the afterlife if she liked you?
She didn't realize it then, but she realizes it now.
She liked me so much that she even got my desk back!
It's possible that the desk was so ugly that it got rejected by the used goods store.
She didn't know it then, but she realized how much I meant to her after I was gone.
That's the classic of the classics!
Classics last forever, yes.
Do Jin Woo and Han Gye Jeol seem too close
for us to think that way.
There was no gap for you to push your way through, Master Kokdu.
Ok Shin, how dare you!
Shut your mouth!
Master Kokdu, Han Gye Jeol cried every night, saying that she missed you.
Right?
Then again, what would you know anything about women?
Supposedly, they had a secret meeting to discuss making you disappear.
No, no. She said she couldn't do it.
Master Kokdu, if they even thought of you as a human being,
they wouldn't even discuss such a thing.
To them, you are merely
a nice-looking parasite, Master Kokdu.
Something to eradicate.
Something to eradicate?
Come here.
Hey, Mr. Creator!
Let me meet with Do Jin Woo for a moment.
It's not that I will harm him.
I just have something to ask him.
Why would he get to hear how Han Gye Jeol feels about me?
I should be the one to hear it.
It's not like I'm leaking the secrets of heaven,
so I'll just borrow him for a moment.
All right.
I know you hear me! Are you really going to be like this?
It's just a slight leak of the secrets of heaven...
I have a method to find out, you know!
She likes me,
she does not.
She does, she doesn't.
She does,
she doesn't. She does, she doesn't. She does,
she doesn't. She does, she doesn't...
Just be honest and admit that you've failed.
That way I can hire someone else for the job or make another plan.
What?
Do Jin Woo disappeared like smoke?
That's such nonsense!
T-There probably was a problem with the dash cam. How could this make any sense?
Of course, it doesn't make sense.
I asked around everywhere because I knew you would react like this.
The paramedic told me
he definitely died.
His heart had stopped. But...
he came back to life.
Is Do Jin Woo supposed to be a zombie,
- that a dead body would come back to life? - Perhaps.
Choong Shik...
This won't do.
You should take a break.
Do Jin Woo...
is not human.
So,
I'm telling you, you should not
think of him as a human being.
What happened to Professor Do?
He got released last night.
If you were going to release him so easily,
why did you arrest him so roughly?
I really got scared that he might be a murderer,
so I couldn't even go visit him.
I told you we released him, not that he's not a murderer.
- Same difference. - No, they're very different.
It means that I don't have concrete evidence, but I've got a hunch.
A person disappeared again.
How does this make any sense?
Since we're meeting like this, let me ask you something too.
This has to do with the investigation, so you have to answer me seriously.
What is it?
Professor Do
has a family secret, right?
Does the fact that he was adopted count as a secret?
As expected...
Then how much do you know about his parents?
They passed away.
- Are you sure he is a son of human parents? - What?
Maybe he came from a star or was originally a broom,
or has nine tails, or can teleport!
Or...
maybe his body emanates cold energy. You've seen stuff like that, right?
I knew it ever since you said we should get ramen.
No, no! Don't make this out to be about me being interested in you.
Your pickup line was fresh, at least.
It might have appealed to some other girls.
However, it's not for me.
- You're not my type, either! - Why are you grabbing me?
Listen to me. You might change your mind once you listen to me.
It won't change, so I don't have to listen, right?
Is it Oppa?
Did you think I wouldn't find you
if you fled to the countryside?
Eating ramen with a guy...
You're living quite the good life.
Are you okay?
P-Please help me...
so I can leave this place.
Of course.
You didn't have to make such a public spectacle about this.
The cops are the answer to stalkers.
Hurry up and report him.
At best,
they would just issue a restraining order and give me a smartwatch.
That won't solve anything.
Still, at least if you take those measures,
he won't act so brashly.
You mean rashly.
Whether it's rashly or brashly,
as long as we warn him strongly, it'll work.
You know, if a rumor spreads about how a woman has a stalker,
there will just be a lot of talk about how she isn't being modest.
People like him are delusional
so if we let them be, they'll take it the wrong way.
We need to send them a strong message first!
I guess you can just keep escorting me, Detective.
Why would I?
Aren't you an expert in sending a message first?
I didn't train so I could send a message for you!
Gosh, do you know how much taxes I paid?
I can't even enjoy that level of benefit?
If a public servant acts out of personal feelings like that,
people accuse him of being a tax thief.
Oh, personal feelings?
Did you just admit that you have personal feelings for me?
I'm just concerned! Concerned about this country's taxes!
Don't worry.
I will do my taxes worth.
You said you're curious about Professor Do, right?
I'll answer one question
per day.
Are you telling me you'll play 20 Questions with me?
You're thinking of meeting with me for 20 days?
That wouldn't be easy without having personal feelings for me.
Do Jin Woo left his bag in the ambulance.
Your business card was inside, so I contacted you, Doctor.
Why was Professor Do in the ambulance?
He got into a car accident.
But is he physically okay?
A car accident?
He didn't seem to be injured.
Gosh, that's such a relief.
His body was completely messed up, and his heart had stopped.
- His heart had stopped? - Yes.
He had no vital signs,
so we assumed he had passed away and we were going to head to the morgue
when he suddenly came back to life. We were so shocked.
He suddenly...
came back to life?
Don't die in front of me!
- No way... - And then,
he suddenly started choking me...
Wow...
I thought to myself I might be the one to end up in the morgue, not him...
Kokdu...
It's him.
Kokdu has returned...
Stay right there until I get there!
You can't disappear, okay?
She likes me, she does not.
She does, she doesn't.
She does, she doesn't...
She does, she doesn't.
One person makes a mess
while another cleans it up...
That's what you call hierarchy.
She does, she doesn't...
Seriously, I don't know if I'm serving a master,
or raising a son...
She likes me.
Either way, I'm not a bastard.
Gosh, these stupid leaves...
Geez!
Be gentle.
They also have a hard life revealing the secrets of heaven.
In any case,
- how much did she cry? - Who?
You said Han Gye Jeol cried because she missed me.
She couldn't even treat patients because she was so depressed.
Oh, well, I did exaggerate when I said that,
but I never said she couldn't treat patients because she was depressed...
No. You said she missed me.
She would have cried if she had missed me, which made her depressed.
Isn't that obvious?
What? Why don't you just say she gave birth to three kids?
Did Han Gye Jeol say she wants to bear my children?
Gosh, she really is healthy, isn't she?
But it is possible to give birth to three children in two months, right?
How could a person have three kids in two months?
- You can't? - You can't!
Wouldn't it be possible if we tried hard enough?
Why don't you ask her yourself?
Whether she cried her eyes out or if she cried out like a bird.
Here.
As expected...
- you're quite consistent. - What do you mean?
How you're selfish.
Me? No way.
Professor Do would have picked the smaller one,
but as expected, you are consistent, Kokdu.
What are you saying? I'm Do Jin Woo.
You speak to me without honorifics, and you talk and treat me harshly.
Professor Do would never do that.
What, is he a saint?
Do Jin Woo speaks without honorifics and talks harshly too.
Most people are like that.
Most people don't start by choking someone.
Here.
Supposedly, you left it in the ambulance yesterday.
You should be grateful that the paramedic was really nice.
Most people would have sued you first.
You should admit it now...
Kokdu!
You caught on oh so quickly.
I would never have imagined,
that the god of the afterlife would pretend to be someone else.
What? Pretend!
Then, what else was it?
You should be grateful that I'm not getting mad at you.
Why would you get mad when I should get mad?
Who's the one driving me crazy, going back and forth between hating and missing me
and having me go travel between this world and the afterlife that you'd get mad?
Who disappears without a word that you're getting mad?
You should have at least said goodbye before you left!
Who's the one who sent me off without giving me a chance to say goodbye?
- You make it seem like it was me. - It's pretty clear it was you.
How could you say something so ridiculous-
I told you. There's power in words to save or kill someone.
Especially your words.
Are my words a death note that they could save or kill someone?
I'm telling you to disappear, Kokdu.
Please just disappear!
Please come back, Professor!
Come back, Professor!
That happened
because I told you to disappear?
Every moment I collapsed,
your harsh words were behind it.
No way...
Your harsh words kill me...
Oh, I'm sorry.
Then, as long as I don't say those words,
you will never disappear?
Why? You didn't like it when I disappeared?
Were you sad?
Oh, you didn't like it. Han Gye Jeol, you really didn't like it.
You cried, didn't you!
I mean, of course, I didn't like it!
Why? What's so obvious?
Why is that obvious?
Well...
- You are my landlord, Kokdu! - What?
What's going to happen to my 100 million won if my landlord disappears?
The Professor knows nothing about our contract
so you would just take my 10 years of rent and disappear?
That's a fraud!
So, you're saying you only thought of me as a landlord?
I'm much greater than a landlord as a god!
No, no. If you wanted to be great in South Korea,
you should have at least been a goblin, a nine-tailed fox, or the Great King of the Underworld.
How could you compare me to a broom or a fox!
Whether it's a broom or a doll, both are small and insignificant.
A doll?
A doll!
Insignificant!
I'm hearing all sorts of nonsense after a thousand years of existence!
The ascetic Kokdu riding a phoenix guides the way,
the warrior Kokdu wielding a sword protects the path,
this pretty maid Kokdu waits on dead people,
and the jester Kokdu playing the flute entertains them on their last path.
I can see why the God of the Western world said not to worship idols.
No talented artisan could portray a god adequately.
Look at their fashion. In my time, my clothes weren't that colorful.
What shall I say? It was more chic and avant-garde.
Well, since these were made in the late 19th century,
it probably reflects the fashion of that day.
Oh, Han Gye Jeol.
Did you already finish digging up the info on your boyfriend?
So diligent...
Gosh, who says you're my boyfriend?
But you're not supposed to do a background check on your boyfriend like that.
Why would you accept info from inaccurate sources?
You should ask me directly.
That way, I can brag with my own lips that Kokdu is the best and the first.
You've heard of Kokdu Early Morning, and Kokdu Head.
That all came from me.
Why? You didn't know I was that amazing?
I didn't know you were so shameless.
How could you brag about yourself every time you open your mouth?
So that others would know. If I didn't, others wouldn't know.
Even if you don't say it, people will know.
If a person is truly awesome, then it just shows.
Just because it's cloudy doesn't mean people don't know the sun is behind the clouds.
I know someone like that.
There was definitely someone
who didn't know about the sun called Kokdu
because of the clouds called Do Jin Woo.
W-Who says that I didn't know!
I-I knew at first sight!
At first sight? When?
Oh, when you met the paramedic? When you got the bag back?
How could you argue about something like that?
Who says I'm arguing?
When I met you in the yard, when you hugged me,
I knew it right away!
When I hugged you?
Geez.
How was it...
that you found out?
Did your heart race, your head get dizzy, your eyes lose focus,
and your breathing get shallow?
Who in the world gets like that...
I did.
It was like that for me. It wasn't like that for you?
W-Why would you ask such a vulgar question like that?
Oh, right.
It's natural for a god to examine a person's past and present.
So, is this part of that vulgar examination?
I'm not interested in others.
Whether they go blind at first sight or stop breathing at first kiss, I don't care.
I only want to know about you.
Han Gye Jeol...
What do you think of me?
Excuse me?
I-I...
In the end, Kokdu is an illusion.
Don't get hurt by getting deceived by a mirage
that might fade at any moment.
No...
No?
What?
No. No? No, that's not what I meant!
It's okay! I'm fine!
I wasn't that curious about how you felt anyway!
I don't know how I may seem here, but on the road to the afterlife, I'm... what was that?
Oh, a celebrity! I'm a pretty popular celebrity.
When I just walk by, the dead people come clamoring to see my face,
and they don't know if they're drying up or freezing to death.
I've made so many fall for me on the path to the afterlife,
so when my charm doesn't work on someone, that'd be a problem for my job.
So I just asked out of occupational curiosity.
You know what I'm talking about, right?
Yes...
Yeah...
Curiosity... It's curiosity.
I spat quite a bit...
Damn it...
Are you a rapper? Are you a rapper?
Why would you spit out so many words in such a short span?
Couldn't you have just come home with your mouth shut?
Gosh... so embarrassing!
- I'll pull them all out! - Master Kokdu!
I'll uproot them all!
Master Kokdu, Master Kokdu!
What did those tree leaves do wrong that you keep plucking them!
What do you mean they're innocent? They're not innocent!
The novice shaman is playing with me!
You dare think you'll live after fortune-telling like that?
Is it not a relief that she stopped there?
Imagine if Han Gye Jeol told you she loved you.
You would have disappeared!
A relief?
What do you know that you think it was a relief?
Have you been rejected before? Have you!
It's so embarrassing that I would rather disappear.
Do you know that feeling?
There's no way you would know!
Mom...
Because God took you away so soon,
I learned to have only one wish.
It's for someone to stay by my side for a long time.
But I keep thinking about a guy who is like a mirage.
I must be crazy.
Mom, you should come and persuade me
not to even dream of being with him
if there is no future with him.
Please?
Gosh...
I really don't want to run into Han Gye Jeol...
No, I should show her I'm perfectly fine.
Yeah.
What are you doing?
Why are you so down, man?
You should eat that and cheer up!
Is this spinach that I'll cheer up after eating it?
Carrots are good for your eyes and your blood.
It's great for your body!
Don't they teach this at American universities?
We've got a vegetable doctor on our hands, huh?
Once he's into something, he just doesn't stop.
A man should slice something once he's pulled out his sword.
My parents didn't give birth to a weakling!
See that, see that?
I fell for him because of his manliness.
You.
Me?
Is it because you're from America? You keep turning on and off the honorifics.
I need to know your secret.
My secret?
For what? For singing? For playing guitar?
How did you get that woman's heart
with that face?
Oh, Mr. Johns Hopkins...
Even if I look that young, I couldn't go out with you!
Gosh...
I must be crazy...
- Gosh. - Hey, young man!
When an adult talks to you, listen!
How could such a youngster like you-
No matter how old you are and no matter what, there is only one way.
- It's effort! - What?
Try!
Try to become a better man.
Yeah.
Effort doesn't betray you.
Effort?
Effort...
Choose.
Buying a girl clothes and bags.
It's so cliche.
What do you think of this?
I don't know...
What about this one?
No matter how boyish style is the trend, I can't wear that.
It doesn't suit me.
Why would you wear this?
Didn't you bring me here to buy me clothes?
We're here to buy my clothes.
Your clothes, Kokdu? Why?
Can't you tell? I'm putting in the effort.
Putting in the effort to become a better person.
Gosh, you're good enough as you are. Why would you put in more effort?
I know. I've always been and still am good.
But after you rejected me, my occupational pride hit rock bottom.
How could I guide anyone to the afterlife with such lackluster charm?
That's why I'm putting in the effort.
So please cooperate with me.
You look cool! You look like a bouquet!
- This is nice? - Yeah, it looks cool. It's sexy.
Gosh, sexy? Just wait a bit.
It's like I'm a gift for you.
- Oh, it's cute! - It's cute?
- It's not a cute concept... - It's cool.
It's cool? Then one more!
Pick something.
K-Kokdu, you wear women's clothes too?
No, women's clothes are for you.
- Me? Why? - Why?
Haven't you thought that maybe you need to put in more effort?
I don't know... I seem pretty decent already...
Is it that you have no mirror or no conscience?
I have no money...
You're lucky. I have a lot of that.
Wait. No, it's fine!
Do you know how expensive this is?
How could you not have any desire to improve?
I'm telling you to put in the effort for me!
No.
I told you no!
- It's red. - I-It's too red...
Get that one.
That's the one!
Get me this one and the red one from earlier.
I mean, how are you going to become a better person like this?
Even horses are fed sugar cubes before they're made to race.
You should at least feed me sugar before having me put in the effort!
So you're saying you need sugar, right?
Okay. Got it.
Gosh... I'm so tired...
I'm so tired...
[Will the King of KPGA Jung Yi Deun be embraced by Pilseong?]
Pilseong wants to sponsor you?
Yeah.
They said they wanted to support me starting with this PGA tour.
Why all of a sudden?
I mean, I understand it's a great opportunity,
but don't you think Kim Pil Soo has ulterior motives?
It's just that you don't know it, but I'm pretty successful.
Everyone wants to sponsor me, even without any ulterior motives.
I mean, yeah, you're successful.
Since you're successful, you could wait for an offer from somewhere else.
It doesn't need to be Pilseong Bio.
Not a lot of places are willing to support me fully like this.
I'm pretty old now,
so I can't keep picking and choosing.
Until we find out for sure
if Park Choong Seong hid on his own, or if Kim Pil Soo did something to him,
I would like for you to not get involved with Pilseong.
[Will the King of KPGA Jung Yi Deun be embraced by Pilseong?]
What's this?
I told you I want nothing to do with Pilseong,
whether it's sponsorships, advertisements, and even health examinations.
You must be mistaken,
but I'm not making an offer but a threat.
What did you say?
Five years ago, when GL Group sponsored you,
did you tell them beforehand that you no longer had any cartilage left?
- How do you know that... - You probably couldn't have.
Who would sponsor someone like that?
That would be a breach of contract.
A fee for breaching the contract would be quite a bit.
You know,
I know more about you than yourself.
So,
just shut your mouth and take my hand.
If not, the world will know all of your shame.
Hey...
could you search for Park Choong Seong?
Am I an errand center?
Why do you keep telling me to find someone?
It's because I'm worried about Yi Deun and Park Choong Seong.
Yi Deun?
All of a sudden, Yi Deun?
Why would you leave out the last name that his parents gave him!
Why would you suddenly bring that up here?
Let's say I find Park Choong Seong for you.
Then you would get involved with Yi Deun.
I don't want to see that. I don't want to.
Okay...
What's this?
Excuse me?
Why are you shutting your mouth instead of yapping at me about becoming a better person,
and show concern instead of spending money if I want your heart?
It's not like you're a magic wand, Kokdu.
I felt like maybe I kept asking for ridiculous favors.
So were you comparing me to a magic wand?
What?
No. I-I didn't.
I really didn't! No way.
You did. You compared me to it!
How could you compare me to a mere stick!
You just wait. I'll go find him immediately!
- Wait... - A magic wand?
I really didn't mean it like that!
What's this? Why's he in a place like this?
He's dead.
I'm sorry to go first like this, Ji Min's mom.
I didn't want to become a shameful father to Ji Min.
Excuse me?
I-It's a murder?
He had fled to survive because he was scared of Kim Pil Soo.
When Do Jin Woo said it had nothing to do with Kim Pil Soo,
he should have turned himself, then.
Someone who would commit suicide wouldn't run away to start with.
I see.
Then who killed Park Choong Seong?
W-Why are you being like this?
Did you receive threats from Pilseong?
Your accident was most likely not a mere accident, Professor!
Kim Pil Soo tried to kill you, right?
Are you suspecting Kim Pil Soo?
But Do Jin Woo said it had nothing to do with him.
He probably just said some random nonsense so he could live.
I should look into it.
Gosh... Kim Pil Soo, that bastard...
I found you, you little rat.
Why didn't I figure it out, then?
Gosh, but at least the Creator has some loyalty.
Seeing how he's letting me clean up the garbage around Han Gye Jeol before it's too late.
Kim Pil Soo...
Y-You...
What are you!
I'm Kokdu.
The king of the path to the afterlife who came to clean up garbage like you.
Ta-da.
You were hiding like a little rat,
and yet you didn't even know my name?
You lack sincerity
for a criminal.
We should...
resolve things with words.
Then you should have also resolved things with words.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
A murder for a murder.
That's my law.
Don't act rashly.
Do you know how many CCTVs are in this room?
You can't kill me.
Even if you're a more powerful ghost and not just a ghost,
I'm way ahead of you guys.
It's the tragedy of human beings
that they don't believe in death until they die.
Oh! Professor!
Are you crazy? Let go of him!
Chairman, are you okay?
Why are you here?
He said he wanted to make a proposal.
A proposal? What proposal? Did you receive threats from him?
Professor Do...
I heard your body and your mind weren't normal,
but I didn't know it would be this bad...
Dr. Han, you were also very inconsiderate.
You should have brought him to a big hospital if someone was in this state.
- Shut your mouth! - Stop it, Professor.
Let's go out. Let's leave.
You leave first. I have something to say to that guy.
Do it later! Do it later when you're a bit more calm.
Dr. Han.
I've received too much shock today,
so I don't want to see Professor Do for the time being.
Please tell him
not to come near me.
Does that bastard...
know something?
Whether Professor Do decides to come or not, that's up to him.
Who am I to tell him what to do?
I'm saying this
because I don't want to take legal action.
Excuse me?
For something this serious,
I would have to file for a restraining order,
but wouldn't that end Professor Do's career?
If you would tell him to stay away,
I thought I could trust that.
Don't listen to that bastard.
Yeah, Kokdu.
Don't meet with the Board Chairman for the time being.
I told you not to do that!
I told you.
I'm way ahead of you.
Are you crazy?
How could you think of going there on your own accord?
What kind of proposal did you get?
I got an offer!
He said there was a misunderstanding, and Pilseong wanted me back.
You didn't...
accept that offer, right?
Well,
I'm thinking about moving to Seoul.
You're going to think about it?
Yeah, please think a bit more in life!
What did I tell you? I told you to never go back there!
Pilseong, or Pilsal, I told you it will all be your grave!
Then what about you, Kokdu? Why did you come here?
Did you come to get revenge for Do Jin Woo?
Did you come to mess up Kim Pil Soo and yourself? Did you come to mess up everything?
Who's the one who came and messed up everything!
Do you think that I can be by your side always to protect you?
I told you clearly that my time in this world is short.
I have to take care of things before I go for me to feel a bit more at ease!
Take care of things?
Is this it when you say take care of things, Kokdu?
Killing Kim Pil Soo and disappearing?
Then have you thought about what would happen to the people left behind?
Have you ever thought about how I would be filled with regret
for not doing anything
and letting you get to this point?
Kokdu, I know your time is short here.
But just because your time is short doesn't mean you can live however you want.
Just like snow in the middle of summer,
like a mirage in the desert...
it could perhaps be more eternal and precious because it's so short.
Can't you spend your short time here
trying to become a better person?
Why should I do that for?
For me.
What?
For me,
please get counseling, and treatment, and put in the effort.
Then I will put in the effort for you.
Listen to me without misunderstanding me.
You are a mere human.
In what way can you put in effort for me?
Try not to run away from you...
Try to be honest with you...
Try to believe that this moment is everything
like a cicada who believes that the summer is everything
despite the summer being very short.
You...
You asked me what I think about you, right?
I'm sorry for my late reply.
I...
Kokdu, I...
Lov-
All things have their appropriate timing.
Even if we are separated one day and everything disappears,
right now is...
time to love.

[Kokdu: Season of Deity]
What did we do during the night?
- We slept together. - What?
Han Gye Jeol, you said you don't like sad endings.
How about we live together?
Are you out of your mind?
Do you think I'm in the right state of mind?
But I really need you right now.
Are you crazy?
Move in together?
Kim Pil Soo will counterattack right away.
We must be ready without leaving room to fail.
I received a present...
I should give you something back in return.
The target was me and not Han Gye Jeol?
Interesting.
