But you died.

Four years ago.

Yes.

I came because I needed to tell you something.

Kim Ram Woo,

you'll die in a week.

What?

You'll die in 176 hours, 12 minutes, and 35 seconds.

I'll die in a week?

Yes.

How do you know that?

Are you the Grim Reaper?

Yes.

I'll leave it at the door.

Excuse me, hold on.

- What? - Please help.

There's a weirdo in there.

You should call the police.

I'm a delivery man.

Is he hiding in the bathroom?

No, he's right in front of us.

- W-Where? - This person.

Huh? What kind of person, exactly?

He can't see me. Don't waste your time.

- Gosh. - He won't die anytime soon.

Thanks for your hard work. You'll live long.

You can't hear that, either?

Hear what?

- I'm dying here. - You won't.

The thing is...

I'm sorry.

Whatever. Whatever.

They think delivery men are a joke.

Hello? I'd like to talk to the doctor.

I'm Jung Hee Wan.

I'm in a hurry right now.

The drug you prescribed to me.

Is hallucination one of the side effects?

It is, right?

No?

You checked all the pills, right?

Yes, it usually takes a few hours to accept.

But you'll regret wasting time like this later.

You regret so many things after you die.

Let me give you a piece of advice.

♫ The Bodhisattva of Compassion ♫

♫ When he meditated deeply ♫

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

I...

have years of experience.

This is basically my theme song now.

Have you come to your senses now?

Let's clean the house first, then.

Look at these side dishes.

You didn't even touch them.

Ahjussi and Hee Joo would be so upset

to see this after you die.

What are you, really?

Huh? I'm Hee Wan.

Cut the bullshit.

I'll flip out if you call me that again.

I'm Jung Hee Wan, and you're Kim Ram Woo.

I can't believe this. Hey.

You're the one who insisted on switching names.

Wow, the yearbook.

They switched our names here.

We had to put stickers on each copy. Remember?

We cleaned for a month as a punishment.

Here it is.

[Jung Hee Wan] It was so hard to apply these-

[Kim Ram Woo]

Hey, Kim Ram Woo.

I had salt, chicken blood,

and all sorts of stuff thrown at me.

But a fire extinguisher...

is a new one.

Hey, Kim Ram Woo.

- Huh? - Do you know Bang Ji Soo?

- Who? - Bang Ji Soo from 10th grade.

She's looking for you.

You know the hair treatment ad.

Well, my handwriting is not good.

I saw the letter you wrote for my friend.

You made it look so pretty.

The word must've spread there, too.

Is it a love letter?

There are basic, premium,

special, and platinum prices.

I choose the platinum.

The platinum level is a bit pricy.

- It's okay. - It's 30,000 won.

It's okay.

A week is enough, right?

I'm confessing my love in a week.

Our 100th day would be Christmas

if we start dating then.

I guess it's not possible that he'd say no.

Well, no.

I brought the letter here.

"Your dizzying beauty.

The heart-wrenching smile?"

Is there someone like this at our school?

"I don't normally approach people, but

you, Ram Woo, are an exception"?

Yes.

It's Kim Ram Woo.

Not you.

Kim Ram Woo, who's called Jung Hee Wan.

Kim Ram Woo is the recipient?

The Kim Ram Woo I know?

Yes. Why?

Is that a problem?

No, not at all. No problem.

But does Ram Woo like this stuff?

I'm not really sure.

Would he not?

Instead of doing this,

should I just say it to his face?

No, no, no. The letter sounds good.

The letter would be perfect.

Writing is more effective at expressing.

- I love it. - Okay, then.

Here's the 30,000 won.

Hold on a second!

Yes, Unni. What is it?

There are modern, classic,

petit, and lovely options.

What would you like?

You know closest to Ram Woo.

Choose the one he'd like the most.

Fighting.

Fighting.

[Dear Ram Woo...] Geez.

"Your dizzying beauty"?

She couldn't sleep thinking about him?

Quit drinking coffee.

Shit.

Shit!

Geez, so annoying!

[Bang Ji Soo deadline]

Kim Ram Woo.

What's this? I thought you were a zombie.

What?

She's outside again.

Bang Ji Soo? Is it Bang Ji Soo?

Just do it willy-nilly.

Hey, hey.

Tell her I'm sick.

No, say I'm in the bathroom.

No, no.

Tell her I didn't come to school today, okay?

I can disguise myself like this.

I'm not here today. Okay?

Please call her for me.

She didn't come to school today.

She's at the teachers' office.

She's at the clinic.

She got into a car accident.

She was hospitalized.

- Unni. - If I...

said she transferred, you won't believe it, right?

How long will you keep this up?

I feel sorry for you.

Just get it over with. What are we doing?

It's the platinum level.

But I can't come up with anything.

Don't you think Ji Soo is all about her hair?

No, is it the other way around?

Gosh, I'm going crazy.

Confess your love to Jung Hee Wan first.

What?

What are you talking about? You're crazy.

Stop dragging it.

Get it off your chest and get dumped quickly.

The bigger the heartbreak is,

the bigger the leap you can take from it.

Look how singers come up with great breakup songs.

What are you saying?

Spit out your words now.

Spit them out.

Unni!

- Hey, hey, hey. Finish the noodles. - Go, go.

- Unni, Unni! - Go, go, go!

- Go! - Unni, hold on. Unni, Unni!

- Hold on! Hold on! - Go! Go!

She was right here.

Hey, hey!

What?

Geez! Seriously!

Unni.

Unni?

- Gosh. - What class is she from?

What do we do?

Yes, this is Heewantang.

Suicide attempt?

Dad!

I can't believe this.

She looked so happy and carefree when I saw her.

She still is totally carefree.

How could you say that?

I mean, she always does unbelievably weird things.

You're so uncaring sometimes.

If you're struggling too much,

you act bubbly so as not to let it show.

Did Kim Ram Woo attempt suicide?

Is she okay?

Is something going on?

I don't know, either.

That's what I mean.

Let me know if I can help with anything.

She's crazy. Seriously

I think she lost her mind.

Everyone really thought you went crazy.

We were so worried.

But where are we going?

What do you mean by "we"?

Whatever. I shouldn't react.

- Just accept it as it is. - Stop.

You aren't crazy.

- I can't hear you. I can't hear you. - I am the Grim Reaper.

- I can't hear you! I can't hear you! - Look.

I can't hear you. No, no, no...

Welcome.

One adult, please.

You're clever at times like this.

Why are you so down after a bath?

Gosh, I got to feel refreshed, too.

I was feeling achy,

but the sauna makes me feel alive.

"Feel alive"?

A funny thing for a dead person to say, right?

Let's say I'll actually die.

Why are you the one who's telling me that?

Well...

it's like the "Phone-a-Friend" lifeline.

- Let's just say it's like that. - Lifeline?

Leave, then. I don't need you.

Come back when I die.

Hey, why are we barging in here...

- How long has it been? - 18 every five minutes.

Keep going.

Assist.

Switch now.

It's a patient! Coming through!

Excuse me.

- Get him a GS operation room. - Okay.

It's dropping. It's 40 now.

Doctor.

Let's stop.

Time of death, 16:55.

Mr. Im Soo Hyeon, you passed away.

Born in the morning of October 12, 1991.

Died at 5 p.m. on March 4, 2024.

Im Soo Hyeon. Im Soo Hyeon. Im Soo Hyeon.

Let's go.

Does it finally feel real?

You're sure, right?

Yes.

How do I die?

I can't tell you that.

A week, did you say?

Yes.

What do you want to do in the remaining week?

I'll sleep at home.

What? Hey.

You're dying in a week. You want to sleep now?

What should I do, then?

Whoa.

Seriously.

You really don't want to do anything?

Someone you wanted to meet,

a place you wanted to go to,

something expensive you couldn't afford,

or something you like?

Like visiting the top bakeries in the country.

How about solving a difficult math problem?

Isn't that what you want to do?

There's something else I want to do.

Riding a tandem bike.

Drinking beer while looking at a night view.

What's this?

It's my bucket list.

Isn't that something you do before you die?

I did die already.

Why don't you join me?

You need to steer well in the front.

I veered off because you steered to the side.

I was holding tightly in the front.

You're going too fast. You need to balance.

This keeps happening because of you.

Be careful. Be careful.

Geez, what's wrong with you?

I don't want to.

Do it alone if you must.

You can't even do this for me...

between us?

Hey, I've been looking for you everywhere.

Why did we keep missing each other?

Why are you doing this to me?

What do you mean?

I feel pressured because it's the platinum level.

I want you and Ram Woo to work out.

So, I've been thinking really, really hard-

So, where's the letter?

Aren't you done yet?

Well,

it's almost done.

There's only 1% left.

Because I want you and Ram Woo to work out,

I'm doing the best I can.

Unni, do you like Hee Wan...

I mean, Ram Woo, by chance?

What?

Hey, why would you say that?

Pretty girls are too imaginative like this.

Right, Tae Kyung? Right?

Gosh, Ram Woo and Hee Wan?

I think I'll throw up.

Are you okay? I think I'll throw up, too.

Seriously. I think I'll throw up.

You're acting even more suspicious now.

No, no, no.

I really... I... I hate him.

He's the type I hate. You know what I mean?

How could you not like him?

He's tall,

has broad shoulders, and his face is tiny.

She hates tall men because of the cervical discs.

Not only that, his eyes disappear when he smiles.

It's so adorable.

Gosh, I hate it. I hate it.

I really hate that type.

I hate it when men smile.

She has a terrible taste.

Gosh, I'm sorry.

Because Ram Woo is so sweet,

I thought someone unqualified might be after him.

Gosh, I'm sorry I mistook you!

Yes, she must be sorry.

I'm glad I was mistaken.

I'll take the letter now, then.

It's in the classroom, right?

Huh?

Gosh, Unni. The letter. The letter.

You said it has 1% left.

Can't you finish that now?

It's an old-timey style, Unni.

[Dear Mr. Kim Ram Woo]

Yes.

It's such a heartfelt letter.

I thought I should refrain from decorations.

Oh, I see.

How about the last 1%, then?

What's left?

The poop brown one?

Ram Woo likes the color brown, right?

[Regards, Bang Ji Soo]

It's at 100% now.

Thank you!

Why the night view? So random.

And why did you want a tandem bike?

I would've had to ride on your back otherwise.

Whatever. Cross those off the list now.

Finished riding a tandem bike.

The remaining ones are,

watching migrating birds at a bird sanctuary.

Attending a classical music concert at Seoul Arts Center.

Eating cup ramen at the North Pole.

Backpacking in South America.

Entering "National Singing Contest."

What's this now?

"Buying a house.

Giving pocket money to grandchildren"?

Are you kidding me? Huh?

How will you create grandchildren now?

Come on.

It's a bucket list. It can't all be realistic.

[Meeting Mom] I want to do these before I really die.

Right. It won't be a bucket list otherwise.

Right. Yes.

It's too sad.

Traveling alone as a Grim Reaper isn't fun.

Just 10 of them.

Just 10.

You can do that for me.

Will you leave afterward, then?

Huh?

Promise me.

That you'll leave me after this.

That you'd never come back.

Okay.

It'll be over once we finish this.

I'll get out of your sight immediately, then.

Okay?

By the way, isn't the night view here amazing?

Your taste is so obvious.

Are you done? Gosh.

Let's do the next one if you're done.

You're so cut and dry.

Let's go do the next one now.

Hey, Kim Ram Woo. You're so weird.

We need to take this bike with us. [Drinking beer watching a night view]

♫ I realized at last ♫

♫ When I held your hand ♫

♫ The sky went blue ♫

[Watching migrating birds]

[The Tears of the North Pole]

♫ There isn't enough time, the day is too short ♫

♫ Take a day away, make it up in a song ♫

[Eating cup ramen at the North Pole]

[Eating cup ramen]

[Sing the Silvery Dreams - Elderly Orchestra Concert]

♫ Everything has its time ♫

[Attending a classical concert at Seoul Arts Center]

[Attending a classical concert]

Wake me up when it's over.

How uncivilized.

♫ You are my best one ♫

I've been thinking.

A friend is better than a boyfriend.

About Jung Hee Wan again?

How long could a high school romance last?

It's over once we graduate and go to college.

He'll have another girlfriend in college.

But they'll break up once he joins the army.

He'll get one after he gets discharged.

But you break up when you start a job.

It keeps getting repeated.

But not with friends.

Which one is better in the long run?

- A friend. - Sounds like self-justification.

But you make a good point.

And dating is too much.

You need to celebrate the 100th and 200th days

and the birthdays.

And the Pepero Day, too.

There's Christmas, too.

And you have to hold hands in summer

when you're all sweaty.

- Gosh, I hate it. - It's the worst.

I know.

Jung Hee Wan and Bang Ji Soo won't last, either.

So, who's the winner in the end?

Me, who didn't confess my love.

There's Ji Soo and Hee Wan.

Wow, something about this looks romantic.

I bet she's telling him now.

He's smiling.

His eyes are disappearing right now.

But I'm sure they'll break up quickly, as you say.

Hey, your crutch!

Hey, what are you doing?

Move! Move!

No!

Unni.

Is your leg okay?

Hey, where's your crutch?

Are you sure you're okay?

Unni.

What did you mean, "no," by the way?

Huh?

Well, the thing is...

I like you, Kim Ram Woo.

[1. Tell Ram Woo that I like him]

What did you say?

I'm sorry. I like Ji Soo.

I can't be friends with you anymore.

I want us to be strangers from now on.

No.

I like you. I like you, Ji Soo.

I can't let you have her.

[2. Pretend I like Ji Soo]

I see.

I hope things work out between you two.

Gosh, Unni.

That's why you've been doing that.

We'll stay friends forever, then, right?

No, no, no, no.

Gosh, Unni! I almost humiliated myself.

You're a lifesaver, Unni.

[3. Tell Ji Soo she has pepper flake in her teeth]

- Gosh. - I don't care if there's spinach in your teeth.

I still find you pretty.

No.

Are you kidding?

When will you play board games with me now?

[4. Tell him Hong Suk would get too lonely]

Hey, I'm sorry.

Play with Kim Ram Woo from now on.

What?

This isn't it!

Gosh, look how romantic you two are.

This is way too cringe.

Where's an eye mask to cover my eyes?

An eye mask. I can't see this. No.

I'd rather cover my eyes and not see this.

Andae*. An andae to cover my eyes. (Andae=eye mask, sounds like "no")

[99. Say you meant "eye mask," not "no"]

Unni.

No matter how much I think, it makes...

- no sense. - No sense.

Unni?

Huh? Well...

I...

Please. Just say something.

To be honest-

Kim Ram Woo!

Ma'am!

She got hit here.

She jumped off a bathroom window recently.

And I don't know what happened,

but she's acting strange.

She was normal before.

But she's been acting strange lately.

I looked it up. An extreme bipolar disorder...

What's with Kim Ram Woo and Bang Ji Soo?

Did you see them? It was daebak.

What happened?

It's over.

Right after he brought you here, Ji Soo...

confessed publicly.

Everyone was cheering. It was crazy.

I see.

That ended up happening.

Hey, Kim Ram Woo.

Kim Ram Woo.

Are you okay?

Why did you skip the study session?

Are you very sick? What did the nurse say?

Give me that. I'll carry it.

Gosh, what's with all the fuss?

Fuss? I'm worried.

You got hit by a soccer ball and fainted.

Did you have a concussion?

You said you write letters for people.

I retired.

Retired? Why?

I don't know.

Write one for me before you retire, then.

You know I have terrible handwriting.

It's an important letter.

[J.S.]

30,000 won.

30,000 won? They said it was 15,000 won.

I said it wrong. It's 40,000 won.

40...

It's more expensive than I thought.

Is there a friend discount, by chance?

Even just a bit...

Hey, after what you did,

I need to add 5,000 won for an MSB, okay?

Hey, I retired.

Be thankful I'm doing this for you.

What's MSB, by the way?

You don't have to know.

You mean as in "Ignore"?

Is it the "Most Sucky Bastard"?

Could it be the "Most Sad-looking Bastard"?

[Fee for a broken heart (MSB)]

[I love you so much, J.S.]

Why does he write in an old-fashioned way?

Does he think this would work?

Gosh, why am I crying?

So annoying.

[Dear Ji Soo]

[I'll be so good to you]

I have to write this again...

[Dear Ji Soo]

No.

I still need to be professional. Professional.

Kim Ram Woo, are you crying?

That whole bucket list thing.

Don't you think it's a marketing strategy?

What if a genius marketer started it to sell stuff?

I'll buy it for him, then.

Come on over!

He's calling us. Let's go.

Hurry, hurry.

Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.

It's too high up. Hold on.

Seriously.

Be honest.

You came to take revenge on me, didn't you?

Why would I take revenge on you, Ram Woo?

Why are you doing this to me, then?

Come on. Stop talking to yourself.

They won't let you go, thinking you're a weirdo.

Gosh, I hate it.

Hey, you look ridiculous right now.

Are you okay?

I did have one of those things, too.

Something I wanted to do before I died.

I just didn't know it'd happen like this.

Whether it's an illusion my brain created

or a variation of my usual nightmare,

Kim Ram Woo is still in front of me now.

Great.

You're ready to go.

Aren't you wearing a helmet, by the way?

I guess you don't need to?

No, I don't need a helmet.

Because I'm not doing this.

- What? - Next person, please.

- Yes! - You're ready, right?

- Yes! - One person, right?

What? We came because you wanted to.

I can't ride this stuff.

Are you crazy?

Are you out of your mind?

Let's go. Fighting, fighting.

Hold on! Hold on!

Go, go!

It's okay. Look over there. How fun!

It looks so fun.

- Bye! - It's okay, it's okay.

See you down there!

Don't cry. Don't cry.

It's okay.

It's not scary.

Hold on. Hold on.

Run. Let's run.

Hold on! Hold on! Hold on!

It's okay! It's okay!

See you!

Hold on, hold on!

Hold on!

♫ Everything's so bright ♫

♫ I know ♫

♫ You're my best one ♫

[J.S.] Whoa, that was quick.

Since we're friends,

I made you a platinum version.

Thanks.

"Ji Soo"?

Why "Ji Soo"?

J.S. Ji Soo.

Your girlfriend.

My girlfriend?

She's not.

J.S. is Jung Sook.

Jung Sook?

Who's Jung Sook? What class is she in?

Jung Sook is my mom.

What?

My mom.

She doesn't like her name. She thinks it's tacky.

You're confessing your love to your mom, not Ji Soo?

I'm not confessing my love.

It's for my mom's birthday.

That's why you said she went through a lot.

Yes.

Anyway, just change the name in the beginning.

It's 45,000 won, right?

Hey, it's okay. It's okay.

We can't exchange money.

Keep it. Keep it.

- No, but still- - No, keep it.

Keep it.

Keep it.

- Thank you. - Sure.

Hey, Jung Hee Wan.

How about Ji Soo, then?

How about her confession?

Why would you ask something like that?

I just apologized to her.

You apologized?

You turned her down?

Why would you turn Ji Soo down?

I need to focus on the exam now.

And I need to keep getting the scholarship.

I need to maintain my grades, too.

Gosh, seriously.

Are you crazy?

I'm proud of you. You're so filial.

You'll win "Show Me the Money."

Ms. Jung Sook must be so happy.

Give me that. I'll make you

a Gold Dragon Diamond version.

Hey...

It hurts.

Kim Ram Woo!

Gosh, hold on!

Stop!

Please, stop!

♫ I open my eyes slowly ♫

♫ The words I couldn't say ♫

♫ The confession I've been delaying ♫

♫ I want to tell you everything today ♫

♫ Serendipity came to me ♫

♫ I see the spring scent ♫

♫ You must be coming along ♫

♫ Your scent is coming from afar ♫

Seriously.

What have I done?

♫ The good feelings ♫

♫ The nervousness, without realizing ♫

I do all sorts of things because of you.

Kim Ram Woo?

Kim Ram Woo.

Kim Ram Woo?

Kim Ram Woo.

Kim Ram Woo.

Kim Ram Woo!

Hey...

Kim Ram Woo!

Kim Ram Woo!

Kim Ram Woo!

Where's Kim Ram Woo?

Where did he go?

Kim Ram Woo.

I'm right here.

Hey.

Did you think I disappeared?

Why are you so shocked?

You missed me while you were away from me, right?

Anyway, how was it?

It wasn't scary once you took off, right?

It was fun, right? You don't regret it, right?

It wasn't fun at all.

Hey, what will you do on your 100th day?

Not much.

We'll take a walk by the Han River

and we'll have pasta

at a restaurant with a night view.

Hey, that's so cheesy.

What do you mean?

I want to try all cheesy things.

I want to ride a tandem bike by the Han River.

I'll drink beer while watching a night view.

And I want to take a trip and do paragliding.

Paragliding?

I'll watch a classical concert like an adult, too.

- Wow. - How sophisticated.

- It doesn't suit you. - What else is there to do?

Why are you riding a tandem bike?

I'll ride it with my baby.

- Baby! - With my baby!

I'll ride it with my baby.

- I'm losing my mind. - Where's your baby?

"My baby," she said.

I don't see her baby.

Has he even been born?

Where's he? Right here? Where?

♫ Take my hand ♫

Seriously. Where's my baby?

Why's she always like that?

♫ Lingering around me ♫

♫ The days you've passed by me ♫

♫ With you ♫

♫ With you ♫

♫ With you ♫

♫ With you ♫

Where's Jung Hee Wan?

She hasn't come to school since two days ago.

It really must be her fault.

What do you mean?

Someone told me that.

Kim Ram Woo died because of Jung Hee Wan.

Because of the name?

You're right.

She suggested switching names first, too.

Right.

♫ I need you to stay ♫

♫ Lingering around me ♫

♫ The days you've passed by me ♫

♫ By your side ♫

♫ Forever yours ♫

♫ In every moment ♫

♫ I hope you believe in me ♫

♫ With you ♫

♫ With you ♫

♫ With you ♫

♫ With you ♫
