(Idol Festival D-2)

Do you not think she's a first-grade soul?

I'm not sure yet,

so it won't hurt to vet her.

Mr. Kang, weren't you with the National Intelligence Service?

(Episode 5)

Move.

How is what she said a cuss word?

Sit over here.

No. I'll sit here.

Let's make it clear.

She didn't say a cuss word...

and she's first-grade.

- I'm not sure. - What is it now?

- What? What's the matter now? - From the start...

there's no such thing as a first-grade soul.

There's no such thing?

There was at one time.

- There was at one time? - Yes.

They did exist very long ago,

but there's no possibility now.

Think about it.

A first-grade soul, in your worldly terms...

is beyond being clear and innocent.

Do you think a soul like that can survive in a world like this?

Do you think that's possible?

Now I get what you are.

You told me to bring another soul...

and insisted it had to be first-grade.

Now you say first-grade souls don't exist?

You were going to watch with glee...

as I ran all over the place looking for a first-grade soul,

then you were just going to take mine.

You never even considered or thought about extending my contract!

Mr. Seo, I really wanted to find a first-grade soul,

though the likelihood they exist is lesser than an ant's poop.

Don't come any closer.

You're a fraud to the bone.

That's what you are. Do you know that?

Mr. Seo.

- I feel a little bad... - Forget it.

Let me think.

Fine, let's summarize.

I found a first-grade soul,

but you're saying one can't exist.

You said that those who don't curse...

after you poke them have souls of first grade.

It's a fact that she has one.

Anyway, you'll keep your end of the contract.

I'm sorry to say she won't be first-grade.

If she's not, you prove it!

I'll bring her contract, so prove it before then!

If you can't, stick to the contract.

Okay then. Let's do that. Sure.

- Okay, let's. - Okay.

- Okay. - Why not?

(Idol Festival D-1)

Do you want to poop?

Stop distracting me and just go to the toilet.

When someone lives as a star at the pinnacle of fame...

then suddenly plummeted,

that must feel terrible, right?

Why? Do you want to plummet?

Must you say that? It's a figure of speech.

If a star that everyone envied...

becomes ordinary in one day...

That would be unbearable, right?

Wouldn't they want to sell their soul to become famous again?

Don't you see I'm extremely busy?

If you have time to waste babbling,

try to clean up the mess you created.

- Why are you so busy? - Will you have more interest?

You don't know the Idol Festival's tomorrow, do you?

Ms. Ji, I found someone.

- Can we put her on stage? - No nonsense.

Doesn't Ra In sing?

- Put her on after... - Stop!

Will you please let me work?

I should go.

Get to work.

How original.

Is this a bribe?

You just have to break...

one or two of her legs.

I'll tell you again that I don't have such powers.

How did you make me a frog?

You even revive dead people.

You're my client.

I have such powers only over my clients.

In other words, only those who sold their soul to a devil...

are under the influence of one.

Why are you so uncooperative?

You don't want to stick to our contract, right?

I forgot. You cheap fraud.

You're going too far again.

Don't be like that.

- Help me out. - You said so yourself.

You can write the contract.

Meanwhile, I'll prove that she's not a first-grade soul.

Let's do what we must on our own, shall we? What a nuisance.

Okay then.

Here's something you don't seem to know.

Joo Ra In never gives up on a guy she likes.

- Must I do this? - What shall I do?

What do you think? Take her to the hospital.

Will she be treated for two weeks?

- Ha Rip, Ha Rip. - Ha Rip, Ha Rip.

- Ha Rip, Ha Rip. - Ha Rip, Ha Rip.

- Ha Rip, Ha Rip. - Ha Rip, Ha Rip.

- Ha Rip, Ha Rip. - Ha Rip, Ha Rip.

I told you a while ago.

Today, I'll reveal her.

The singer of this song. My new muse.

It's Kelly.

- Kelly, Kelly, Kelly. - Kelly, Kelly, Kelly.

- Kelly, Kelly, Kelly. - Kelly, Kelly, Kelly.

- Kelly, Kelly, Kelly. - Kelly, Kelly, Kelly.

- Kelly, Kelly, Kelly. - Kelly, Kelly, Kelly.

- Kelly, Kelly, Kelly. - Kelly, Kelly, Kelly.

- Kelly, Kelly, Kelly. - Kelly, Kelly, Kelly.

I'll be your elevator.

You don't need to take one step at a time.

Just ride the elevator and go to the top.

Let's see how far you can go.

I told you that I'm going to quit music.

Okay, you can quit.

Sing just this once and quit.

I won't ask you to do this again.

Get up on stage and sing your song.

And if you still want to quit,

you can quit then.

Do you hear that?

That's your song.

- Kelly, Kelly, Kelly. - Kelly, Kelly, Kelly.

- Kelly, Kelly, Kelly. - Kelly, Kelly, Kelly.

- Kelly, Kelly, Kelly. - Kelly, Kelly, Kelly.

- Kelly, Kelly, Kelly. - Kelly, Kelly, Kelly.

- Kelly, Kelly, Kelly. - Kelly, Kelly, Kelly.

- Kelly, Kelly, Kelly. - Kelly, Kelly, Kelly.

- Kelly, Kelly, Kelly. - Kelly, Kelly, Kelly.

- Kelly, Kelly, Kelly. - Kelly, Kelly, Kelly.

- Kelly, Kelly, Kelly. - Kelly, Kelly, Kelly.

Hold my hand.

You'll rise to the top and won't ever be able to come down.

You're a first-grade soul.

You're my soul.

- Kelly, Kelly, Kelly. - Kelly, Kelly, Kelly.

Do me a favor.

Make sure the audience cannot see my face.

I habitually say this to myself

Everything will be okay

It'll all be fine

One day, I'll make you laugh

It felt awkward to talk to myself in the mirror

But I still did it anyway

This will all pass

I held back my tears

As I counted the stars

I'm sure it'll all pass

I know I almost broke down

Because of what I wrote in my diary yesterday

And I know I'm exhausted

The small doll by my bedside

That's...

That's my song.

That's my song. That's mine.

I Gyeong, I can't see your face.

Is...

Is that I Gyeong?

I thank myself for enduring it all

This will all pass

This long and never-ending path

And the awkward tomorrow

I'm sure it'll all pass

If I get through one day at a time

My distant dream will slowly start to become visible

I never got to say this to myself

Because I felt so sorry

for always pushing myself to fight my dreams

I thought I could quit.

I thought life would get easier if I quit.

But it didn't.

This will all pass

This long and never-ending path

And the awkward tomorrow

I'm sure it'll all pass

If I get through one day at a time

My distant dream will slowly start to become visible

I was able to escape from the sun when it got hot.

And I was able to rest when it rained.

I guess music is kind of like a gift from the skies.

That's what music means to me.

What an amazing song composed by Ha Rip,

the artist of our generation.

Were you all startled by his song?

Yes, I was very startled as well. My gosh, that was fantastic.

You just listened to a song sung by Kelly, Ha Rip's muse.

You are currently watching...

the 2019 Idol Festival.

- That was amazing! - Don't just end it!

- Encore! - One more song!

- Ha Rip! - Sing one more song!

He's cross-selling again.

He's using Joo Ra In's popularity to sell his new song.

What a trashy thing to do when someone got injured.

That's why there's no hope in the entertainment industry.

Did you see that? Did you see how much they loved you?

This is the path to your success. The Internet's going crazy.

Let's start working on a new song. Let's not give them time to think.

Let's release an album, hold a concert,

and get ready for a tour.

Let's do everything as quickly as possible.

I already settled everything.

Let's congratulate.

I need to go now.

- Goodbye. - We should celebrate...

by cutting some cake.

No, it's okay. Thank you.

Okay, then let me drive you home.

No, I'll just take the bus.

Thank you.

That was crazy.

I must've lost my mind.

(Congratulations)

I Gyeong!

Where's I Gyeong?

She left.

She left saying she's busy. There was nothing I could do.

Why did you prepare so much stuff?

It was a beautiful night.

What are you doing?

You can be honest with me.

You psychotic and narrow-minded jerk.

I will never call you that again.

You got rid of your prejudice and helped her make a debut...

by trusting nothing but her talent.

You really touched my heart.

If you hug me from behind one more time,

I'm going to kill you.

You have a beautiful soul.

Let's eat.

Mom, I'm home.

Mom, did you eat?

Have you lost your mind? Are you crazy?

I told you to live a quiet life.

People already talk about you even if you lie low.

People barely started to forget about the past.

Why would you do something to remind them of it again?

Why would you do something to ruin your life?

I was just a substitute.

Do you only care about yourself?

What about us? Don't you care about your family?

Gosh, Mom...

I'm your daughter, aren't I?

I know what you're worried about.

I'm not going to become a singer.

I'll lie low until the day I die, so don't worry.

It's simple.

All I have to do is bring out...

the vanity, lies, deception, and hypocrisy in them.

That will be proof.

Isn't this a bit too simple?

It's late, so there are no cars or people on the street.

Violating the law won't get you in much trouble.

The only one that would know is your conscience.

If it were you, would you wait 15 minutes...

for the light to turn green?

You have a point.

Is she a first-grade soul then?

It's too early to tell.

What qualifications does one need to be a first-grade soul?

A lot.

The list goes on which is why I can't name them all.

A good set of values, behavior towards unfair situations,

the choice one makes regarding love and hatred...

There's no need to name them all.

Just think of any good quality.

What is Ms. Celebrity doing here?

- A what now? - You were incredible today.

- You're now a celebrity. - Gosh.

That was just... How do I put it?

Just think of a ball of dust floating in the wind...

getting a chance to shine.

The sun shined upon it,

and it was amazing.

- It's over though. - Will you not pursue music?

- No. - Why not?

Doing music will lead to fame...

which will lead to love and support.

They all make you greedy.

It's what I should never be.

Then why did you sing on that stage?

I wanted to be in the sun for once in my life.

I'll cherish that moment forever.

That doesn't make that unlucky girl...

a first-grade soul.

Don't give her time to think.

No way.

(Missed Calls)

(That was great. I loved the song.)

(Rip, what success!)

Ha Rip, you jerk. I'll crush you!

(You're the best.)

(Wait. Isn't this Si Ho's song?)

That's quite the response when I'm just getting started.

All right, my precious first-grade soul,

I'll make you a star overnight.

Seo Dong Cheon.

A failed life.

Music that was failures.

Mr. Kang, do you not eat properly?

Are you concerned about me, sir?

Well, I never skip my meals.

Seriously?

The growling sound from your stomach just struck me in the ears...

Sorry?

Why does my mind keep going back to her?

Thank you for coming here despite your busy schedule.

So...

(Rumbling)

I asked you here...

I asked you here today...

because even after you have handed your souls over,

you are obliged to answer my summons...

and respond to my requests.

You're here today...

because there is an urgent job that needs to be done.

Do you believe?

- I believe. - I believe.

As of this moment, you will use your fingers to...

Online Comment Brigade.

("Will Ha Rip's Muse Be Revealed?")

(Ha Rip's lost his touch.)

(Are you kidding me with those red rain boots?)

(Be patient. Someone will find out who she is.)

(She must be really ugly.)

Come in.

Ms. Ji, there's something you must see.

("Will Ha Rip's Muse Be Revealed?")

My gosh, Kelly.

How amazing!

I predict she'll become a big star.

(Unable to connect to this network.)

What's going on?

See? Look at this.

This means that it's working.

"The mysterious new artist."

Seo Young,

did you drink all night?

Drink?

I couldn't sleep due to the reporters who were calling me.

That much I can take.

Other artists and their managers also kept calling me too.

That is understandable on their part.

Why did it have to be Si Ho's song though?

There wasn't enough time.

She had to sing what she was familiar with.

She's already claiming that it's her song.

- Plagiarism... - I wrote the song...

and she sang a cover of it.

She's not bad at arranging songs.

- What about Si Ho and Ra In? - I'll take care of them.

I'm thinking about 400,000 dollars, no 500,000, as a signing bonus.

It's our first contract together,

so let's get her a small apartment in Gangnam.

Why would we need to offer them so much?

No, I'm talking about Kelly. We need to make a contract with her.

Is it too much?

We'll have to upgrade her deal when she becomes a hit,

which is a hassle.

Come on.

People are already making moves online.

- One's dark past is critical. - What past?

Making them go away is your specialty.

Come on, Seo Young.

You should work out more instead of relying on medicine.

Shut it.

I'm already seeing red, so who cares about an overdose?

Don't you know what'll happen when we introduce her to this world?

I never thought about it, but that doesn't change my decision.

I need to make her a huge hit.

Help me make her a top artist in three months.

You've always been an oddball,

but that request is the most absurd one...

you've made in the past 10 years.

What's this three-month time frame?

I won't complain if it happens sooner.

Okay, fine. Whatever.

Do you really believe this is the right choice?

There's no such thing as one.

You make a choice first and then make sure it's the right one.

Unbelievable.

Just three months.

Help me make her give me...

everything she has to offer.

Did something happen?

Does she have leverage on you?

What on earth are you talking about?

I can't afford to miss her, that's all.

What if she signs with another agency?

You know how competitive I am.

You're not competitive. You're just bitter and mean.

My soul is on the line.

Rip, there is a swamp no one can escape from.

No one knows about it until they get stuck in it though.

What are you saying?

I'm saying that you should...

avoid the swamp altogether.

I'm Ha Rip. Don't you know who I am?

There isn't anything I can't do in this industry.

Yes, I know you.

I know that so well, which is why I'm against this.

Just go.

Let me have it my way this time.

Please sign her on.

Stick to a standard contract or pay for extra expenses yourself.

Sure, I'll pay for it myself.

I'll spend my own money, so just sign the darn contract.

Deal with Si Ho and Ra In first.

We'll talk again after you deal with them.

Come in.

I see Mr. Ha is here too.

That's actually better.

It's quite upsetting, you know.

I'm a CEO of this agency too,

but how could I have not been informed...

of the agency revealing its new artist?

Doesn't it seem wrong to you?

Mr. Lee, I apologize...

Why do I smell a cat around here?

"I bet she has good connections. A nobody."

There isn't a single nice comment.

Some like the song though.

Your mom must be so happy that you're her son.

You're really something. You aren't even angry?

Why bother?

Those people will only enjoy it if I get angry.

I'm not going to sing anyway.

Now I just have another reason not to.

Wow, this is delicious.

- Isn't it? - Yes.

- Ramyeon? - Yes.

That isn't how humans usually react in such a situation.

They usually get so distraught that they get panic attacks...

or get depressed.

Some take legal action against severe hate comments,

and some disappear from the public eye.

Even others can't bear the mental distress and...

They do such drastic things over hate comments?

Humans are so weak.

Relentless attacks masked by anonymity...

aren't just nothing.

Is that why you did heinous things before?

Do something stronger, more powerful.

Then I'll...

use the macro command.

- Not hate comments. - Okay.

A cover? The song wasn't released that long ago.

- I really don't get it. - Don't try to get it.

I told you, it's a win-win strategy.

If the cover is a hit, yours will be too.

- Did you see my rank? - Yes.

- I left the top 10 in 2 days. - You're at 13.

- They say hers is better. - Maybe it is.

I won't let you do it.

It's my song. If she ever sings it again,

I won't see you or Ms. Ji ever again.

Si Ho.

Now it's yours.

Do you think I'm doing this over a car?

- Is that all I am to you? - It's for your sake.

I'm drawing you a big picture.

This car is my big picture?

I'll freeze in the winter.

As a... Oh, hello. I'm a musician.

Only 2,000km? That girl...

and our relationship... Where are you going? Ha Rip.

We're soulmates.

I love you.

I dealt with Si Ho. Let's have a beer.

Where are you going?

Drink on your own.

Come on, Ms. Ji...

That's Ha Rip's car. Stop!

Get out! How dare he put her on my stage?

- I'll kill him! - No, no. Don't!

- No! - No!

Darn you!

No, Ra In, please! Don't!

Hit me instead.

Move. This jerk fed me poop!

Let go!

- You... - Hit me instead.

What?

Mr. Mo.

Don't do that.

You're only making me feel worse.

So, Ms. Ji...

You ate a meal already.

There's something I forgot.

You know she has a criminal record, right?

You startled me. Are you spying?

She committed a crime and paid for it.

If a criminal were a first-grade soul,

wouldn't that be a smack in the face of Korea's legal system?

She's unlike other criminals.

She was a victim of domestic violence.

- And the theft? - That was...

Why are you doing this?

You want to believe that she's first-grade.

I'm just showing some goodwill...

in case you waste your time.

I don't need your goodwill and I won't give up.

She is first-grade.

Okay then. Let's go our separate ways.

I respect your faith.

That darned devil.

He's feeling anxious.

A world tour?

If we get down to figuring out who's responsible,

you're at the losing end.

We only dealt with the emergency.

If you think about all I did to clean up your messes and mistakes,

wouldn't it make more sense...

if I broke your other leg and blew up your car?

Well...

Okay. If you insist.

Don't think of anything else but what's in front of you.

This drama's important.

If you mess this up too, beware.

Okay.

So...

Ra In.

What relationship do you have with Mr. Mo?

Did something happen? Tell me every single detail.

I saw the beast that's inside of him.

It's not something you feel in a human man.

He's like a beast from Hades.

Ms. Ji. I think I'm in love.

His gaze makes me feel naked...

and his voice makes me feel... Almost orgasm...

Does he like you too?

Of course. He's so very enthusiastic.

He says looking at me blinds him.

Forget about Mo Tae Kang.

Or there's no world tour.

Ms. Ji.

How dare he try to deceive me?

She is first-grade. I'm positive.

What if I bring her contract and she isn't?

It's true she's a criminal. Then...

No, I must have faith.

I won't let the devil outwit me...

The doors are closing.

You're still here?

Let's have a drink.

You told me to drink alone.

Why...

What is it now?

Just come along.

[VIU Ver] tvN E05 'When The Devil Calls Your Name' "I Gyeong's Stage" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Ms. Ji.

Ms. Ji.

The scumbag.

Why are you cursing?

You are so beautiful

You took away my heart

Don't smile.

I'm still angry with you.

You took away my heart

On this autumn night

Your love keeps me wide awake

Your love makes me smile for a while

And it makes me cry for a long time

At the festival...

Tae Kang.

- I loved your performance. - It was great.

You were so amazing.

Tae Kang.

Is he upset?

I get that you're angry,

but I have a lot on my mind too.

Who else can understand me but you?

- You. - Hit me.

Hit me if it'll make you feel better.

Do you both have amnesia?

How can a human change just like that?

I haven't changed. I just...

- I don't mean you. - Okay, not me. Who then?

Mo Tae Kang, that jerk.

What did that jerk Mo Tae Kang do?

Right, you dated him.

Here.

You're really a son of a witch.

That hurts.

That hurts. Okay, I get it.

- Come on! - Okay, I get it! That hurts!

If you hate him so much, why aren't you over him already?

You should get over him.

Tae Kang...

is no longer the guy you used to know.

I can't believe she cried because of a guy.

She's such a baby.

Do you mean it? Do you really want me to leave?

(Winter of 1998)

We just happened to meet...

and ended up living together so we could console each other.

You're...

a real piece of trash.

The contract is valid,

and I don't have much time left.

What's this?

It's a golden carriage that will take you to the top.

What do you say?

I'll safely drive you to your destination.

Once someone reaches the summit, they can never come down.

They end up wanting to stay there forever.

Enjoy your meal.

Thank you.

Even if that will cost their souls.

What's all this?

Now that you've become my muse,

I thought we should eat dinner together.

What? I'm your muse?

- Do you really mean that? - Didn't you hear me?

You're my muse, and I mean it from the bottom of my heart.

You once told me that my music makes you feel rotten.

I tend to go back and forth,

and I frequently change my mind about things.

Bipolar. He's bipolar...

It looks delicious.

He's bipolar.

I feel like I've turned into Cinderella.

I really enjoyed the party.

I should go back to clean before I end up...

turning into a pumpkin.

My gosh, what are you talking about?

Do you think I'm joking right now?

You hold the fate of my agency, my career,

and my soul.

Even your soul?

I don't know if it happened by coincidence or fate.

But we wrote a similar song.

And that means there might be a connection between our souls.

That's why I chose you as my muse.

And I'm going to make you become a star.

I'm going to prove to the world...

that my music is capable of reaching success.

I was able to sing my song,

and that was more than enough for me.

You're not getting it.

Do you know what it means to be a muse?

It means you're my alter ego.

If you want to be obstinate with that petty song of yours,

you're free to leave.

Go ahead and continue to live like a loser...

as you go around telling people that I plagiarized your song.

- That was mean. - He's right.

That was mean.

I don't intend on telling people that you plagiarized my song.

I don't intend on living my life like a loser,

and I sure don't intend on becoming your muse.

Thank you for the meal.

No, you must reach the top.

I'm bipolar!

I'm bipolar.

I don't know why my emotions are all over the place.

That must've offended you.

What I meant was that you're free to do everything you want.

You can compose, write lyrics, and produce songs. Do whatever.

You can act if you want, and you can dance if you want.

You can do everything you want.

He's bipolar.

I'm bipolar.

If there's no more work to do, I'll get going now.

- Goodbye. - Where do you think you're going?

Don't go.

Kang Ha, I heard that you prepared something.

That's right.

I can't let my muse sleep at a dry sauna.

You can stay here until you get a place of your own.

This room looks like it belongs to a princess.

You can change the interior design if you want.

Thanks for being considerate,

but this is too much for me. It makes me feel uncomfortable.

I prefer staying at my own place.

But you don't have a place. Just think of this as your house.

Thank you so much for dinner.

- Did you have to choose pink? - What's wrong with pink?

My gosh, come on.

I Gyeong, I really want you...

to accept Ha Rip's offer.

You always wanted to do music.

You're given a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

I do want to do music.

But I don't want to be Cinderella.

Well, I Gyeong...

And he'll end up thanking me for having declined his offer.

- You don't get it, do you? - No.

You know how much I care about you, right?

Of course.

I'm always grateful.

I'll be off now.

Wait.

Here.

He asked me to give you this car.

That's not funny.

I'll get going now. Goodbye.

He asked me to give you this car.

Bye.

What was that?

She can't find the owner, and no one's looking.

If she doesn't take it, someone else will.

And 50 dollars is too much to just pass by.

Even the most conscientious person...

will try to come up with an excuse...

and justify their decision.

See?

There's only a very thin line between good and evil.

My gosh, look at that.

I found this on the ground.

I hope the owner finds it.

What an interesting lady.

My gosh, stop it.

If I go to Busan

Will I be able to see you again?

If I go to Busan

Will I be able to see you again?

Your beautiful hair

Is it because there's not enough wind?

I can't seem to sing properly today.

How are things going with you and your plan?

Everything's going very well as planned.

How about you?

Of course. I always perfect everything I do.

By the way, didn't you feel really guilty and apologetic...

toward that girl?

I guess you care more about yourself than the fact that you feel guilty.

Your conscience must come and go...

depending on what kind of situation you're in.

Leave my conscience to me...

and just admit that her soul is first-grade already.

I'm sure that's what you want to believe.

Wait, didn't that girl smack you around?

- Like this. - Sit back.

Well, that's...

I'm at fault. I deserved all of it.

Did you call me out here to talk nonsense?

I figured it'd be nice to have our lesson outside.

Someone said that singing consists of half air and half sound.

We have fresh air up here, right?

So those living in the mountains must all be good singers.

What is food to you humans?

You need it to survive but having too much can kill you.

You also eat some every day.

You need it to survive, too much of it can kill you,

and you eat some every day.

Human lives are so irritating.

Still, I'm better off than some putrid devil.

- I love being human. - "A putrid devil"?

That nickname is actually growing on me now.

I guess it's time to feed you.

- You want me to eat? - Let's go!

Is your conversation over?

- Don't do this again. - I don't follow.

Don't you ever stand like that looking better than I do.

What now? What do you want?

A meal.

Something you eat every day...

and something you need to survive. Let's have that.

A meal?

Is that all you have to say to me? Unbelievable.

I saw the beast that's inside of him.

It's not something you feel in a human man.

He's like a beast from Hades.

I'm quite famished, you see.

You beast.

- Get a grip on yourself! - Does that make me a beast?

I'm not sure, sir.

Isn't it normal to eat if you haven't already?

- Let's go, Mr. Kang. - Yes, sir.

- Let's go. - Where?

To eat!

You always told me to travel with my manager.

We'll take my car then.

It's not like you haven't been to my place. Let's go.

Your place?

You should come in for some ramyeon.

"Ramyeon"? Not a proper meal?

I'm hungry too, so let's go.

Ramyeon, it is.

I performed on stage.

One that was quite big.

It was like a dream,

but now I feel empty inside.

I didn't know why,

but I guess I wanted to brag about it to you.

I miss hearing you tell me...

to go home.

- Kelly? - What are you doing here?

This is Seo Dong Cheon's house. Do you know this place?

Yes.

- "Searching for Sugarman"? - Yes.

There was a legendary artist who released two albums in South Africa.

It's about two die-hard fans who went searching for that artist.

Sixto Rodriguez, was it?

That's right. You know this movie too.

Seo Dong Cheon is my sugarman.

I'm searching for traces of him.

Is that why you came to Korea?

- Really? - Really.

According to the neighbor,

the landlord only comes by to collect the mail.

I got my hopes up today, and I got lucky.

Ta-da. I obtained a mail of his.

Anyway, what brings you by here?

A friend of mine lived here.

"A friend"?

An old man who plays the guitar.

"An old man who plays the guitar"?

Stop, you wench!

Stop.

I told you to stop. Stop right there!

Get back here, you cow.

Just wait until I get my hands on you.

Darn!

Look where you're going!

My guitar... Darn it.

Gosh, wait.

Let go of me!

Let go. Let go of me!

You cow!

You're coming with me.

Come on!

- That's enough. - What?

Who are you?

I'm her father.

Is that so? You're her father?

How dare you touch my daughter!

Even my own family had abandoned me,

but a stranger willingly took my side.

Just so you know, I haven't let anyone else hear this.

It's not like my other songs, so listen carefully.

- Sure thing. - At first,

it begins like a rock number.

There was dandruff in his hair...

and he smelled of alcohol.

For some reason though, I didn't hate it.

I didn't even though I loathe the smell of alcohol.

Thanks to him, I was able to dream for the first time.

I'm glad that he wasn't a bad man.

- But he is. - What?

He disappeared without saying a word.

You're right. That's mean of him.

Excuse me?

- You just swore, didn't you? - Yes.

By the way, I have something to show you.

My gosh.

You must be a true fan.

This is amazing.

Mr. Seo would've loved this.

CEO Lee hasn't seen him for 10 years either.

Lee Chung Ryul of Liver and Gallbladder?

Yes.

I'm thinking a lot about you

Do background checks normally take this long?

Just who is this Ha Rip?

Mr. Park, I'm the one who asked you, remember?

I haven't seen anyone like him...

throughout my 30 years in this business.

I can't find anything about his past.

His registration number is valid,

but there's no information on his friends, his hometown,

or the schools he attended.

- None? - None.

He either dropped from the sky,

or someone made him a false identity.

If it's not that, then he's been living in the wild.

He hasn't led a life of someone normal.

So he's led an unorthodox life?

Doesn't he look like someone?

Yes, I agree.

This...

- What is it? - What?

Nothing.

It's nothing.

How did you learn about Seo Dong Cheon...

when there are many other artists?

My mom had his solo album and that of Liver and Gallbladder.

I heard his music back when I was young,

and I kept listening to the songs because they were so good.

My mom yelled at me for listening to it though.

I played his music one day...

and she smashed my guitar.

Doesn't this scenario sound familiar?

I figured it out while watching Korean drama.

Seo Dong Cheon must be my father.

- What? - I think Seo Dong Cheon's my dad.

- For real? - Yes.

- Just eat. - Okay.

(Property agent)

Hello?

- Yes. - Dad.

My landlord?

He showed up?

A new landlord?

You must've been blessed.

Did you do good things in your previous life?

I felt sorry for you and tried hard to find you a place.

My goodness, what a fantastic garden.

Even the bees are dancing.

Do you like it?

- Yes. - Look around.

Just look at these flowers.

- Wow. - Gosh.

Someone has a sensitive touch.

My gosh.

A swing?

Miss, say hi.

Here's your new landlord.

I really don't know how to thank...

What are you doing here?

I bought the place.

You're so pleased that you're frozen.

Let's look inside. Come along.

Miss, come on inside.

Come in.

Come and have a look.

Gosh. It looks practically new.

What great sense.

This is more like a penthouse than a rooftop room.

The rent around here will go up because of this place.

Come here. Look at the pastel-tone wallpaper.

The feathers are just perfectly feminine.

- There's so much detail to... - Can you see it in one day?

Take your time.

- Hey. - You needn't thank...

Everything's so easy for you.

I will get going then. Bye.

Is there something you don't like?

Because I'm a dirt-poor girl with nothing at all,

did you think I'd be grateful if you got my place back?

You just helped an evil person. Do you know that?

I never got an apology from my old landlord.

How dare you get involved and do whatever you want?

Why are you complaining at me when you moved out willingly?

A newlywed couple wanted to move in.

You inconvenienced other people just to do this.

My goodness. This is unbelievable.

Are you Mother Teresa?

The landlord who kicked you out...

and the previous owner of this place are married.

It has a lot of potentials.

It does.

They legally have no ties but are a couple of con artists.

If I hadn't bought this place, the newlyweds would be homeless too.

Why don't you get how considerate I'm being?

You don't know what "considerate" means.

What am I saying?

You were a famous composer all your life. It could be possible.

That's prejudice.

Fine. I'll show you how considerate I am.

This will prove it. Take a look.

(Duration of Contract: Sept. 1, 2019 to Aug. 31, 2024)

No company offers such terms to a newbie.

They're the best terms ever.

What's this?

"The singer will also dedicate..."

"his or her soul to the agency"?

What? Where does it say that?

Where? I don't see it.

Let's delete that. Take it out.

We'll take it out.

Who put that in?

Anyway,

thank you so much for caring.

I won't forget everything you did for me.

So will you please stop?

And this place.

Thanks but no thanks.

I'm off.

Wait!

Let's start small in a 20,000-seat stadium.

Then, like Carnegie Hall,

we'll build a hall with your name.

Kelly. A stage just for you.

She doesn't want fame, a home, or a car.

Even I don't have an exclusive concert hall.

What more should I do?

- It's worth investing in. - Exactly.

I'll call you when a nice piece of land shows up.

- Thank you so much. - It's nothing.

- Get in, darling. - You're so kind.

Standby.

On.

Shut up.

Is this your car?

Darling, what's the matter?

What's the matter?

Standby.

- You're a jerk who lives off me. - On.

You nitwit. Are you out of your mind?

What did you do to the profits from selling that building?

What a joke.

You're the one who kept a mistress for 10 years.

I knew about it and put everything in my name.

My gosh.

The sham divorce.

I knew something was off when you divorced me willingly.

Cough it up. I want what's mine.

- What are you doing? - Hey.

Do you think my kid is yours?

Doesn't he look like your friend Bong Sik?

What?

You evil witch!

Let go of me.

- How dare you? - Let go!

Is this what she wanted?

I can't take it.

Aren't you busy?

I don't think your contract issue is going too well.

You don't seem to be doing well yourself.

You haven't said anything.

Must you be so drastic?

I'm still a devil. Don't you think you're abusing me too much?

You brought it upon yourself.

You have a deadline too.

Hurry up and prove she isn't first-grade.

I have a feeling the power dynamics in our relationship is upside-down.

What relationship?

I won't have a relationship with a devil.

I'll do my job...

and you do yours. It's that simple.

Still, I'm a scary person... Not person, scary devil.

Oh, are you?

Then just kill me again already.

Everything's going wrong and nothing makes me happy.

What huge side effects.

You shouldn't have pulled such a huge con on me.

Should you have? Should you...

- Get away from me. It's hot. - Is it?

Why do you feel hot?

Don't you tan yourself in a fire pit?

Or do you call it bathing? Do you? Do you?

Yes? No? Yes? No?

- I should just... - Kill me! Kill me!

- My gosh! - I almost died!

(When the Devil Calls Your Name)

Just take my soul or whatever it is that you want!

I will collect your soul. You'll be gone from this world.

No!

I'm thinking I might become a singer. I think I'll do well.

I look forward to working with you, Producer Ha Rip.

Why are you trying to ruin your life?

My gosh!

Things are going viral.

I want you to take care of this, Ha Rip.

This crazy little devil!

Don't you think you're crossing the line?

Your job was to prove that she isn't a first-grade soul,

but you blackmailed her?

Humans are eviler than the devil.

Just leave I Gyeong alone.

Don't try to ruin her life when it already hit rock bottom.

Just mind your own business!

I found this when I went to Seo Dong Cheon's house.

Do you know anything about Seo Dong Cheon?

I need to collect your soul.

You're not Mo Tae Kang, are you?

No, I'm not Mo Tae Kang.
