(Death Certificate)
I still find it so hard to believe.
Dong Gu is dead?
Should I tell Jung Ae?
Would this upset her even more?
Yes.
They were once married.
She should know.
Hi, Sun Ju.
I'm actually on my way to your place now. Yes.
Okay.
All right.
What is this?
"Death Certificate?"
(Death Certificate, Yoo Dong Gu)
"Yoo Dong Gu."
I'm dead?
No way. That can't be.
It's just someone with the same name.
The resident registration number is different.
Who dropped this?
My goodness.
What should I do with this?
Yoo Dong Gu who is dead?
I don't know you at all,
but rest in peace.
I'm here,
but will I be able to pluck up my courage to tell Jung Ae?
Hold on. What should I say...
if she asks me why I hired a private detective to find Yoo Dong Gu?
Simply because I was worried about her?
What? Why is my bag open?
Oh, no. The death certificate.
What? Yoo Dong Gu's death certificate.
Where did it go?
I swear, I put it in my bag earlier.
My gosh.
Yoo Dong Gu is dead?
That's right.
I guess it's someone with the same name as mine.
But we were born in the same year.
We have the exact same birthday.
Gosh, that's creepy.
Clearly, that man has nothing to do with you.
But why did you, of all people, happen to see it?
Yoo Dong Gu isn't such a common name.
My point, exactly.
So I prayed for this dead man.
I have no idea who this Yoo Dong Gu is,
but I prayed for his soul to rest in peace.
But you said he died a while ago.
So, why was his death certificate on the ground today?
I think it's so strange too.
The paper felt crisp.
It looked like the certificate was issued recently.
Yes, forget it.
I lost the death certificate.
The universe is sending me a sign...
that I shouldn't tell Jung Ae.
Even if my entire body breaks...
(Director Kang Sun Woo)
And even if...
I can never skateboard again,
I'll give it a shot.
She's a good actress.
Who is she, really?
I think...
She's really something.
it's worthwhile...
Director Kang.
You're still here.
Yes.
What were you doing?
Were you watching X-rated stuff?
What? "X-rated stuff?"
No! What are you talking about?
Why would I? I'm at work now.
I'm telling you the truth.
I can't show you this,
but I swear I wasn't watching X-rated stuff.
It's just that my chest feels...
Your chest?
No, I mean... Did it make my heart flutter?
Well, I was feeling a little queasy.
Anyway, what's that?
Oh, it's the list of the potential filming locations.
Please go through it by tomorrow.
Wait, why are you still here?
I guess you had to stay late.
Let's go home together.
I'll give you a ride.
We talk about everything.
Thankfully, he doesn't seem uninterested in me.
Ms. Shin is the one he's interested in.
Why is he offering me a ride?
Let's go.
If you haven't had dinner yet,
- why don't we... - I've already eaten.
Also, I have plans for this evening.
What? At this hour?
It's getting late.
Who is she meeting?
I didn't know it'd be so hurtful.
Hey, what's wrong?
You look like you're dying, like a defeated soldier.
Why are you eating pizza at this hour?
There's nothing better than this to comfort myself...
on this lonely night.
Really?
What's the matter?
Go ahead and tell me. I'm your sister after all.
Your sister may look like a pathetic fool to you,
but it is a writer's job to read people's minds.
Tell me.
You'll feel better after telling me.
You remember the cat, right?
The woman who ran off with my jacket.
Yes.
That cat is the new hire on my team.
What?
The person who beat Auntie Jung Sook and joined Cheong Film...
was a bargirl?
No, she never worked at a bar.
She was dressed like that because of a surprise event for her boyfriend.
That's right. Because of you...
You said only bargirls would dress like that.
I was simply presenting a theory. That's all.
You were the one who added evidence to it.
Weren't you the one who brought that absurd flyer?
I can't believe I trusted you.
So? Don't tell me you told her what you were thinking.
"To tell you the truth, I thought you had such a job in the past."
You told her that?
Did you seriously run your mouth like that?
Let me explain the situation.
It's game over now.
She'll hate you forever.
Who'd want to deal with a man that had such an opinion of them?
What a pathetic loser.
A pathetic loser?
Oh, boy. How did I end up in this rut?
Mom, how was your cooking class yesterday?
Don't even get me started.
All the ladies there were dressed up to the nines.
Mom, I gave you a makeover too.
With some makeup and her hair done,
she looked like a celebrity.
My goodness.
Your mom looks like this now because I made her struggle.
She was so pretty when she was young.
"Your mom looks like this now?" What do you mean by that?
I was in a good mood earlier, but I'm offended now.
What?
Well...
To be honest...
- Well, I mean... - Oh, I see.
No wonder all three of us are good-looking.
It's all thanks to your genes, Mom.
Right, Mom?
Yes, that's right.
Oh, that's right.
Did you get to use those French phrases?
You kept studying French, Mom.
Yes. Of course, I used them.
In French, I said my name was Marie.
Then the instructor said, "Very nice."
How are the other ladies there?
Do you like all of them?
Well, they're all very different from me.
But there's one lady who's been on my mind.
What? In what way?
Oh, it's nothing.
She just looks a lot like someone I knew in the past.
I see.
Oh!
I can't stop thinking about how odd it is.
The resemblance is striking.
Yoon Ji Sook.
Ko Chun Young.
Is this Royal Hotel?
I take the cooking classes at the hotel.
My name is Sim Mi Jin.
Yes. Ms. Yoon Ji Sook left her wallet...
in my car.
Could you give me her contact information?
We'll contact her and call you back.
No, I'd like to contact her myself.
It involves money, you know.
So I want to... Yes, exactly.
I don't want there to be any misunderstanding.
Yes.
Okay.
(Building 5)
So this is the apartment building where Yoon Ji Sook lives?
We shall find out.
Whether you're Yoon Ji Sook or Ko Chun Young.
- The number does not exist. - What?
The number does not exist?
Who is this woman?
Is she really Ko Chun Young?
Did she run away because she was shocked to see me?
Ji Sook.
Yoon Ji Sook.
Why did you change your number? You didn't even tell me.
What? The chicken place owners were at our place?
They took everything?
What about the money we hid?
They didn't take it?
Cooking classes at Royal Hotel?
Oh, that.
- What about the kids? - He must be Yoon Ji Sook's husband.
But he's not Yoo Dong Gu.
If she is Ko Chun Young,
Yoo Dong Gu should be with her.
Vietnam was great.
I heard the Philippines was a good destination for a golf trip.
I want to check out the Philippines sometime.
Let's go together, honey.
I checked, and I was wrong.
I went to Yoon Ji Sook's place...
and saw a man who looked nothing like Yoo Dong Gu...
talking to her on the phone.
He's her husband.
See? What did I tell you?
I said she was probably someone who looked like her.
What?
They've never been to the Philippines? Both of them?
That's right. So she's not Ko Chun Young, for sure.
Anyway, I feel better now that I've checked.
But if that woman had been Ko Chun Young,
it would've been better because I'd be able to find my children.
Anyway, I'm glad you looked into it.
You must feel better now that you know she's not her.
But I must say,
I think Yoon Ji Sook and her husband are con artists.
I think...
they've been conning people ever since they got married.
My goodness.
Then how do they have the hotel membership?
That's why I'm saying they're bad people.
Ko Chun Young stole my husband and children,
and Yoon Ji Sook stole other people's money.
My gosh. They look alike and behave alike.
Eun Sung, did you go home with Director Kang last night?
What? No.
What do you mean?
She worked late yesterday.
I had dinner in the area yesterday. When I came back to the office,
I saw that Director Kang's car was still here.
So I assumed the two of you were going home together.
You two go in the same direction.
Gosh, no. I had plans with a friend of mine,
so we left separately.
Eun Sung.
Why are you so busy these days?
Have you got a boyfriend?
What? No.
Eun Sung.
Could you check the expiry dates on the teas in the break room...
and throw out the expired ones?
Yes, sure thing.
The 15th.
Eun Sung.
Yes.
Would you be interested in starring in an independent film?
An independent film?
Yes.
A friend of mine...
is working on an independent film for his directorial debut.
They're looking for actors,
so I'll introduce you to them if you're interested.
It's not a big role, though.
Thank you so much for thinking of me,
but I can't do it now.
Why not? It's a great opportunity.
If you do a good job,
you'll leave a memorable impression on the industry people.
Yes, that's true.
But I signed the contract when I joined Cheong Film,
which stated that I'd stay until we wrapped up "Hidden Memory."
I'm not sure how helpful I can be,
but I want to stay with the team until the film is released.
You don't need to worry about that.
You should seize the opportunity.
Why stay here? For whom?
I'm not doing it for someone else.
I made a promise to myself.
Because I got the job at Cheong Film,
someone lost their chance.
No, that's not true.
They didn't get the job because they weren't as good as you.
Right, so I want to stay and do my job well...
until the project is over to thank you for trusting and choosing me.
It's Director Kang.
I think it's about finding a location.
May I be excused?
Go ahead.
Okay.
Thank you for thinking of me.
She said her dream was to become an actress,
but she's refusing an opportunity...
to stay by Kang Sun Woo's side?
Yes?
(Director Kang Sun Woo)
Did you ask for me?
Right.
I narrowed down the list of places we should visit...
to the ones we should see first.
All right. I'll check the schedule and proceed with this.
Oh, did you have fun with your friend last night?
What? Oh, right. Yes.
Did you really meet your friend?
I don't think you did.
You're still mad at me, aren't you?
Because of the misunderstanding I had.
I told you I wasn't mad anymore last weekend when I got the plant.
Then prove that you're not mad at me anymore.
Let's get dinner.
You said you'd have dinner with me when you weren't mad.
I did, but...
I'll send you a message, so let's go after work.
Promise.
Goodness. It's so unfortunate.
What is?
The son of the fried chicken place. The cop.
I thought he'd be perfect for Ha Young, but...
What? As Aunt Ha Young's boyfriend?
Yes. He's the perfect candidate to be my son-in-law.
He's got a great personality, he's fit, and he's handsome.
That young man is someone anyone would like,
but I had no idea you thought of him that way.
If he becomes Great-auntie Ha Young's boyfriend,
does that mean the police officer will become my great-uncle?
I don't really like that officer,
but I feel bad for him.
The fact that he'd become a grandfather at that age is bad,
but thinking about how much Aunt Ha Young would nag him...
I feel guilty about that too,
but what can I do? I'm her dad.
If he's someone who can handle Ha Young's personality,
I can't lose him.
The officer managed to escape your magic.
I know.
I wonder who the lady who stole his heart is.
I hope she's a nice person.
Since he managed to escape your magic,
I really hope she's not someone who's like Aunt Ha Young.
You punk.
(Hyewon Police Station)
Here. Welcome.
- Here you go. - You didn't have to.
Take a seat over here.
We're finally meeting for a consultation for work.
You're right.
It feels different seeing you at the police station.
Oh, right.
Is your arm okay after whacking moles?
You're not sore?
This is nothing.
Gosh, what do you take me for?
Goodness. If there was a game for whacking boars,
you'd be able to beat them up too.
Should we look for a game like that together?
Should we?
Did you see the questions I sent you?
Yes. This was my first consultation, and I didn't want to make mistakes.
So I read them thoroughly from start to end.
Okay, then. Shall we get started?
Sounds good.
You said this movie was a thriller with a basis on sports.
Depending on the drug used,
the postmortem lividity and conditions can differ.
Oh, really?
Then how long does rigor mortis last?
It lasts about seven days.
Depending on the situation,
it could last longer or even shorter.
Oh, I see.
Why? Are you not feeling well? You look tired.
It's because I have a lot to think about.
I see.
Why don't we stop here and go out?
I think we all need a break.
We live in the same neighborhood,
so I can give you consultations whenever you want.
As long as we make time.
I guess that's true.
Then let's go out...
to grab food.
This looks good.
I'm going to enjoy this!
Is this all you want from me to repay you...
for making me feel better that day?
I told you that you could ask for anything.
What? That's not it.
I'm going to buy this.
I'll leave your debt as-is.
Oh, is that it?
No wonder.
I thought it was too humble.
Why don't you tell me what it is...
that's been bothering you.
I...
You know, the thing that's been weighing on you.
Did you sense it?
Well...
I'm in a similar situation,
so I felt a sense of kinship.
Gosh, tell me.
I could be helpful.
Well...
To be honest,
there's someone I'm interested in at work,
but I don't think he feels the same way.
That's why I feel bad.
I'm scared I won't be able to get him to like me.
I...
really want to make him mine.
I see...
Did you know each other for long?
We haven't known each other for that long.
But I knew he was the person I was looking for...
the moment I met him.
That's why I made a lot of effort to get him to notice me.
But...
what has been bothering you?
I'm sure it's not because of unrequited love like me.
Good question.
I wonder...
why I feel this way.
I don't know.
Thank you for listening to me.
I feel a lot better after talking to you.
I'm glad I was able to comfort you.
Strangely enough, when I'm with you...
I feel comfortable.
Like old friends.
Friends?
Let's try to make time to finish the consultation...
we didn't get through today.
I have to go back to work, so I'll get going.
I want to be something other than friends.
What should I do?
We just need to get through one more hour before we go home!
Is it already that time?
Eun Sung, do you want to grab tteokbokki after work...
since we didn't get to last time?
I'm sorry. I have plans tonight.
Again?
You said you didn't have a boyfriend.
Why do you have plans every day?
I didn't get to see my friends for a while.
Are you sure that friend isn't your boyfriend?
Not at all. He's just someone I know.
Oh, right. Did we check all the stuff in the supply room...
that came in?
Oh, right. I left it there because of the meeting.
Let's finish that up before we go home.
Okay.
Are her plans with Kang Sun Woo?
Even after I talked to her?
Let's meet at White Garden in front of the office at 7 p.m.
It's really with Kang Sun Woo?
My warnings really aren't registering with her.
(Let's meet at White Garden in front of the office at 7 p.m.)
(Cheong Film)
Eun Sung, you're here just in time.
Ms. Shin. Did something happen?
We're filming a movie that's set to release next year,
but they need more people on location.
They asked me to send someone.
Can you go?
Right now?
I have plans after work today.
Can I ask you for this favor? It's an emergency.
Okay. I guess there's no choice.
I'll cancel my plans on my way there.
Let me just get my stuff.
See? You should've taken my warnings seriously when I was being nice.
(Director Kang Sun Woo)
The best venue for a new couple.
I hope Eun Sung likes it.
Thank you.
Director Kang hasn't called me.
Did our plans get canceled?
- Can you come quickly? - Okay.
Gosh, my phone is about to die, too.
Why isn't Eun Sung coming?
So much time has passed.
(Cat)
Eun Sung, why are you so late...
No matter how long you wait, Yoo Eun Sung isn't coming.
I'll make sure you don't meet.
(Unpredictable Family)
You guys go to restaurants together?
To go on dates unnoticed?
Yes...
For some, it's work. But for you, it's a date?
Did he cancel his plans with me?
You shouldn't embarrass people like this.
Is Ha Young seeing someone?
Is it about a guy?
That man will become mine.
Ko Chun Young came back to Korea 17 years ago,
but she went back to the Philippines after Yoo Dong Gu's accident...
Can we talk?
Sure.
