SEE YOU IN MY 19TH LIFE
During the Japanese invasion,
I ran endlessly after losing my baby.
After running for a long time,
I ended up focused solely on my breathing.
And I thought of something as I stood at a white buckwheat flower field.
"These hard times are bound to pass."
"And…
I will eventually arrive somewhere
and be able to continue living again."
CASTING ONE'S FATE UNTO THE DICE
You must find the relationships
you remember from your first life.

Director Mun.
Sir.
What is it?
They'll be concluding it as suicide.
Chairman Mun still owes a lot to Chan-hyeok and me.
Just know that you're the only one
that I go easy on.
CHAIRMAN MUN
Hello, sir.
I didn't expect you to call at this hour.
Yes, sir.
He's asking for you. Is your phone dead?
Here, talk to him.
Hello, sir.
Understood, sir.
What did he say?
He wants to have a breakfast meeting tomorrow.
What is it about that he even had to call me to find you?
He probably knew that you called me in
since things with Seo-ha got complicated.
Whatever.
I'm leaving.
You want me to drink alone?
You must know
why I suddenly called you over.
I heard you were with Seo-ha
during the incident.
Yes, sir.
If you truly cared about Seo-ha,
you should've stopped him from putting himself in danger.
Are you hiding something?
-What? -Your son almost died when he was little,
and he got hurt today.
Of all people,
I thought you as his father would be most eager to catch the culprit.
I'll leave that to the police.
I am protecting him as his father.
I just need you to be quiet.
Keeping my mouth shut is your way of protecting your son?
Do you perhaps know who the culprit is?
I can't talk any sense into you.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
You may go.
That hit-and-run driver?
I recruited him.
-Hey, something's wrong. -What?
Take this
-and run. -I'm not leaving you behind.
It's okay. Just go.
Hurry.
-Cheers. -Cheers.
Gosh, that's nice.
All right.
Let me feed you first.
Okay.
Look at you eating so well.
-It's good. -Is it?
Yes.
Min-gi.
I don't know why you're always out and busy.
But make sure you don't skip any meals.
Okay?
-Okay. -And let me know if you crave anything.
I will.
Let me feed you once more.
-Here. -I'm still chewing.
-Are you? -Please eat.
-Is it too much? Here. -Yes.
Is he your long-lost son or something?
You came just in time. Come eat while it's still hot.
Sit down.
It's okay. I'm too tired.
You're tired?
You should still eat.
Here.
What is this?
I was just passing by and thought it'd suit you.
Goodness.
Is this for me?
My goodness. Let me see.
Goodness, gracious.
I love mustard.
My, it's so pretty.
You're always in my heart.
And you're in mine.
-Goodness. -It suits you.
-Really? -Yes.
-It suits me? -It does.
Unbelievable.
-Min-gi, can I have a word with you? -It's so pretty.
Let me borrow him for a minute.
You should eat first.
They've gotten closer.
Gosh, this is gorgeous.
I remembered my first life.
Actually, I saw it.
Was it because of the shaman bells?
Please elaborate.
I was in an unfamiliar place.
I was looking at someone from behind.
And my memory overlapped with him.
There were many people.
And I recognized one of them.
Who was it?
Someone very dear to me in this life.
Mr. Kang.
Was it really a coincidence
that you came here to work?
Were you a part of
my first life?
Why aren't you answering me?
Were we…
lovers a thousand years ago?
Of course not.
Is that so?
I thought we were each other's first love or something.
Wait.
Try touching the bells again.
Then maybe you'll remember.
Could it be that Seo-ha and I met in my first life?
Grab them again.
It's okay. That was enough.
I should get going.
Hello, Master Cheon-un.
Our boss didn't commit suicide.
He said the evidence is in this bag.

-"Ban Ji-eum." -Give that to me.
Who is this?
-Give me my phone. -"MI Hotel Director Mun Seo-ha."
What's it to you?
-MI… -Come on!
Give it to me!
How dare you?
Hello?
Where are you?
I'm about to go to bed.
Come on. I can hear the crickets.
Are you outside?
I couldn't sleep, so I'm out for some fresh air.
I should've tucked you in.
What a shame.
Do that thing you're good at.
Director Mun.
If we
ever met in our past lives,
what relationship do you think we would have had?
I'm not sure.
Try to imagine it.
What do you think we would have been
if we had met a thousand years ago?
A general and his pony.
"Pony"?
You'd be the general, and I would be the pony.
You really don't know how to be romantic, do you?
Okay, hear me out.
A man and a woman are standing face to face on a bridge
while fireworks surround them.
The man is as handsome as the bright moon.
While the woman is as beautiful as a lotus in full bloom.
That's when we meet for the first time
and fall in love.
What do you think?
Keep going.
We loved each other passionately.
But we were sadly killed after we were framed for being traitors.
So we've met again in this life
to fulfill our love that was cut short.
That's intriguing.
I wonder if past lives
really do exist.
I bet they do.
I bet lovers like us are only destined to meet every thousand years.
In that case,
what'll happen to us now?
There must be a reason why we crossed paths again.
What do you think it is?
I'd rather there…
not be a reason.
Why not?
I just don't want there to be one.
All right then.
Let's just say
that we're destined to love each other for no reason.
We'll be in love like everyone else,
then break free from the reincarnation cycle.
Our souls will then become one,
and we'll find peace.
Can you repeat…
the last part again?
Our souls will become one,
and we'll find peace.
Dad is back.
Looks like he wants to ask you for money.
They're just unbelievable.
RÉSUMÉ NAME: BAN JI-EUM
Hello, sir.
Good morning.
What's wrong with him?
Director Mun is acting strange.
What do you mean? He seems fine.
He looks too clean-cut today.
Isn't he always clean-cut?
No, he's way too clean-cut.
Mr. Ha, did something happen on your way here?
No.
Director Mun is always clean-cut.
There's nothing to worry about.
This is Ban Ji-eum from the Strategic Planning Team.
I'm in the hotel lobby.
Why aren't you answering my--
Your father is over there.
Ji-eum! Over here!
I'm sorry.
Mr. Ban Hak-su, what are you doing here?
What? "Ban Hak-su"?
How dare you address me like that?
You brat.
What kind of daughter calls her father by his full name?
How dare you?
Lower your voice and talk straight.
You know very well
that your brother is living by himself.
You should clean his house and cook for him.
His place is a complete mess!
How are you so selfish?
Just get to the point and leave.
His place was so tiny.
Get your father a room here.
Cut the nonsense and leave before I kick you out.
What? Kick me out?
You brazen little…
I heard that you're dating the hotel director!
Yet you can't get me a room?
Why you little--
Goodness! Look at her, everyone!
Let me go! I'm not leaving!
Are you walking down a runway?
You look like a model.
That must have been tough.
What do you mean?
Whatever happened, you did well.
Is something wrong, Director Mun?
You're being odd today.
So much…
has happened to us.
I'm also trying to change.
That's good then.
I'll cook you dinner tonight.
Let's leave work together.
Okay.
It's so nice to be out working with you, Mr. Ha.
They look so lovely together.
Mr. Ha.
I've been thinking,
and I'm going to keep liking you even if we don't date.
Ms. Yoon.
I just want you to know how I feel about you.
I know those trees.
Do you know the story?
You see how those two trees are entwined?
They say if you promise love under those trees,
you'll meet each other in your next life.
I really wanted to see them with you.
I wasn't trying to punch you. It's a ring.
I mean, it's a flower.
Why are you giving it to me?
I'm expressing my love.
I made it with the prettiest flower I could find in the garden this morning.
This is my love for the day.
Come in.
Are you Ms. Jang Yeon-ok?
I am.
Flower delivery.
Who are they from?
I'm only delivering them.
These were my favorite flowers. Do you remember?
These again?
I think these are the prettiest.
Gladiolas.
-Aren't they pretty? -They are.
Yeon-ok.
Do you know what these flowers mean?
No, I don't.
That man you saw earlier today was my dad.
They say you can endure anyone
if you have at least one good memory of that person.
But I have
no good memories of that man.
Where's the money?
-Get me money! -I never went to bed in peace.
Please, just…
And I woke up feeling sad every morning.
GIRL-OF-ALL-TRADES FROM TV STARQUEEN BAN JI-EUM
GIRL-OF-ALL-TRADES BAN JI-EUM LET'S GO!
I tried to endure it despite being miserable.
But I eventually ran away from home.
My aunt whom I'm living with right now
took me in when I had nowhere to go.
Open up.
-We're not related. -Gosh.
But she always asks me if I slept well,
and takes care of me when I'm sick.
CONGRATULATIONS
She's more ecstatic than I am
when I have good news.
Goodness, she's all grown up now.
That's what you call a true family.
I'm just saying.
I just…
felt like telling you that.
Don't worry.
I don't have that great of a father either.
Let's just
put our families aside.
I decided…
to only think about us two.
Thank you so much.
What is it?
Is it that tasty?
Why is it not good?
Why isn't it tasty when it looks so good?
You're awfully blatant.
Aren't you supposed to pretend like it's good?
I'm just kidding. It's good.
That was delicious.
Go upstairs first. I'll bring some fruit and tea.
Okay.
Then I'll wait upstairs.
Okay.
The general and his pony.

Let's just
put our families aside.
I decided
to only think about us two.
That was random.
Let me stay like this…
just for a while.
Where's Father?
He's here with me.
He's driving me crazy.
Make sure he stays there.
Wait outside for a minute.
What the…
Sit up.
You impudent little…
Shut it.
And sit up.
Mr. Ban Hak-su.
Have you ever committed murder?
I asked if you have ever killed anyone.
Answer me.
The dump truck accident on April 23, 1998.
Does it ring a bell?
Tell me everything.
And don't even bother coming up with excuses.

WORK REQUEST FORM
So all I need to do
is be on standby and then hit the car?
What's with all the questions? You don't want it?
-Should I ask someone else? -No, sir.
I just can't believe that you're letting go of all my debt
for such a simple task.
Goodness.
That was just
a side job I took to support the family.
"A side job"?
A side job killing someone?
I don't know what you heard,
but I wasn't meaning to kill anyone.
It was a minor collision. That's what it was.
Two people were killed, and a young boy was severely injured!
It's all in the past.
Aren't you dating the MI Group chairman's son?
You should keep this covered up for your sake as well.
Bringing this up won't do you any good.
They were the ones
-who were unlucky! -Father!
Let me say
just one thing for your own good.
It's best that you turn a blind eye to it.
Shut your mouth.
You're not human.
Ban Hak-su.
This is the last time
we'll see each other in this lifetime.
I hope I won't see you in the afterlife either.
The brakes were malfunctioning!
What's wrong with this?
Help.

Ban Ji-eum.
You should go.
The number you have dialed cannot be reached--
APRIL 8,1998
I heard someone from MI Group made the order.
Does anyone come to mind?
From within the group?
Yes, one person.
Someone who would've considered Seo-ha an eyesore after I died.
Someone who could easily take everything with him gone.
Ms. Jang Yeon-ok?
Let's check if it's her.
I know where she is.
Ma'am, your swing has improved a lot.
The lessons paid off.
You startled me.
What brings you here?
I wanted to ask you something.
And what could that be?
It's about the accident Director Mun was in when he was young.
What about it?
I thought…
that you might be behind the accident, Ms. Jang.
Not too long ago,
Chairman Mun even offered me money to keep my mouth shut.
Are you sure about that?
Chairman Mun offered you money?
You must be happy that he has your back.
His son almost died,
yet he shut your mouth just to protect me?
He's unbelievable.
How touching.
Quite romantic, don't you think?
Cho Yeong-cheol, 7.5 million.
Due March 21.
Kim Chang-sik, five million.
Due March 12.
Oh Il-yong, nine million.
Due March 15.
Ban Hak-su, seven million.
Due March 25.
You see,
I don't do anything that would displease the chairman.
Why?
Because I need to live.
So it wasn't you.
Then who could it be?
Who are you?
Are any of your debtors
truck drivers?
Why do you ask?
I need a driver.
This voice…
I need a driver.
A lowlife would be best.
Uncle?
Someone the chairman wants to keep covered up.
Someone that Seo-ha should never find out about.
His name is Ban Hak-su.
He drives a dump truck.
How much does he owe you?
He owes me about 14 million. That's 7 million plus interest.
I'll pay you 40 million.
In return for letting go of his debt,
I need him to cause a minor collision.
Don't you work for Director Mun?
What brings you here?
What's going on?
This is getting complicated.
What kind of minor collision might you be referring to?
Why would Uncle…
It can't be.
Why would he…
In return for letting go of his debt,
I need him to cause a minor collision.
In return for letting go of his debt,
I need him to cause a minor collision.
How…
How could he?
Are any of your debtors
truck drivers?
I'll pay you 40 million.
I need him to cause a minor collision.
Why did you do it?
Why would you do that to me?
Why?
Ju-won died while she was with Seo-ha.
-Ju-won. -I'm not going to die.
My father simply passed away…
while working like any other day.
Seo-ha.
Look what happened to your handsome face.
Please go.
I don't want you to see me like this.
Back then…
I should've been the one to die.
But because of me…
people who were supposed to be loved…
died instead.
So…
I'm not allowed to be happy.
Director Mun, it's all right.
But I'm overwhelmed by the thought of those
who were hurt by the accident.
Seo-ha.
Would this help alleviate your guilt?
I have something to tell you.
This piece was composed during the Japanese occupation period.
It's about someone yearning for their loved one.
But no one knows the identity of the composer.
Then how do you know this piece?
How do you know that piece?
Because I'm the one…
who composed it.
Because I'm the one who composed it.
Play it when you miss someone.
-You'll feel much better. -You'll feel much better.
Ju-won said that, right?
How do you know that?
Because I was Yoon Ju-won.
SEE YOU IN MY 19TH LIFE
I revealed to Seo-ha that I was Ju-won.
Past lives?
What are you talking about?
You and I see eye to eye on these matters.
I have something I want to say to Seo-ha.
Not as Ban Ji-eum, but as Yoon Ju-won.
You have to let those relationships go.
Hey you! Let go of him!
Stop.
Would that person who remembers their 18 lives
be able to enjoy life together with the kid?
