Original subtitles

He runs a large construction company.

He's building a 20-story building right now.

He's here to see you after hearing rumors about you.

Be good to him.

It's nice to meet you.

Same here.

Your family's birthdays...

Did you write down what I asked?

Yes.

We did,

but do we really need our child's as well?

Of course. You're all related.

All of you need to be blessed.

I'll take that.

OH EUL-SUN BORN AUGUST 8, 1985

What's the matter?

Is this really your daughter's birthday?

Yes. That's her date and time of birth.

Why?

We heard

that our child has an unusual destiny.

Is it bad?

No.

Not at all.

Your mom is super pretty.

She's a good dancer too.

What is that?

This?

Isn't it pretty?

It's a necklace made from an apple tree.

A real apple tree.

No.

I was told not to give this to anyone.

It protects me.

So I have to have it on me at all times.

It's half of a destiny.

YOU EUL-CHUK BORN AUGUST 8, 1985

There's no earth in his destiny.

It's as if a tiny plot of land

is packed full of pine trees.

They're greedy, but unable to meet their desires.

That is why he is withering away.

Even if that's his fate,

I can't give up on my child.

Why would you give up?

Just take it from another child.

Find a child with the same fate.

Take that child's ax,

and chop down all of that child's trees.

Then those trees will rot and become a fertilizer for him.

That's the only way he'll live.

I can't do that.

I can't kill another person

just to save my own child.

If you don't take it, it'll be taken from you.

That's why it's called, "half of a destiny".

Their fate is so unfortunate.

They must never meet,

but it's their fate

to meet at some point.

If one succeeds, the other will fail.

If one heals,

the other will fall ill.

It's either take or lose.

If I pray for her happiness,

Eul-chuk will become miserable?

If I don't steal her fortune,

my son will have his stolen?

Eul-chuk!

Mom.

Did you see a ghost today too?

Did you hear the spirit's voice?

What did the spirit say?

Will it make me healthy again?

Did you pray

so that the kids at school

will play with me?

Will the spirit help us so that Dad

won't drink and hit us anymore?

Do you want to hear a secret?

A secret?

There are

no such things as ghosts.

Mommy.

So don't be afraid anymore.

There are no such things as ghosts.

But

you said people become ghosts when they die.

I was wrong.

Here.

I promise you.

Even when I die,

I will never become a ghost, so don't be scared.

I don't believe in ghosts anymore.

From now on,

I'll protect you myself.

One, two, three!

-Pay up! -Please stop.

She has her pinned. She's trying to roll out of there.

Oh Eul-sun has her opponent pinned. She will never get out of there.

She almost has her...

It's a blackout!

-What's going on? -Hello?

What happened?

It rained a lot last night.

-What... -But...

What is this?

Like this, their fates have changed.

LEGENDARY WEAPON

Tell me, punk.

How dare you come late?

How could you come to school late?

-Such a big award... -Merci beaucoup.

This is mine. Xie xie.

This is mine.

SHE WALKS IN HER SCHOOL UNIFORM...

SORRY, BUT YOU WERE NOT SELECTED

YOU FAILED AGAIN!

YOU FAILED

TOTALLY, UTTERLY AND COMPLETELY FAILED

AUGUST 7, 2018 ONE DAY UNTIL THEIR BIRTHDAY

You were very devoted to me.

I'm very grateful.

You're kind,

pack nice lunches,

and pretty when looked at from certain angles.

You help the unfortunate.

You're a great person.

You are.

But I...

Get to it.

I didn't finish my ending, so I need to go write.

Please find someone better than me!

During the year we dated,

you were hit by a falling sign

three times while walking down the street.

You helped people in need and got arrested.

And you're always getting hit by bird poop.

You're really unlucky.

Could you be any more unlucky?

Like how I fell down the stairs this time,

and how I keep failing my tests,

it could be because of you!

You really scare me.

If I stay with you, I might die too.

Go.

-What? -Go before I change my mind.

Let's never meet again.

Okay.

Thank you so much.

And as a final gift,

let me give you a word of advice.

Give up on writing a TV drama.

You're wasting your life. It'll never happen.

If it didn't happen for eight years,

it'll never happen.

Also,

wash your hair! Please!

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOU PHILIP'S 34TH BIRTHDAY

Everyone,

would you please clear the way?

What was that?

WRITER KI EUN-YEONG

Hello, Ms. Ki.

Yes, I just got here.

Tonight?

Yes, that works.

Okay. I'll see you at your studio.

A GHOST'S LOVE STORY

Look at the lunchboxes they made for Philip's birthday.

It's his 34th birthday,

so there are 34 pieces of eel, and...

My gosh.

They wrote "34" on the lobster's head with the sauce.

You know the bus ads?

They had that for a month when his birthday is tomorrow.

That's not surprising.

He made the entire country proud.

How do you feel?

-I'm hungry. -Hold on a bit.

You have a mukbang to film tomorrow.

The one in the countryside?

-Yes. -Can't he eat a little today?

No way.

After we get there and sleep,

he has to swim in a river in the morning.

With his shirt off and with his abs showing.

-Really? -Yes.

Then you'll have to skip dinner today.

Anyway, what were your parents like?

Why are you asking?

What?

Most people think of their moms on their birthday.

And he even won a special award today.

If his parents were alive to see that,

they would've been so proud.

I'm sure she's watching me on TV somewhere.

A DARK APPARITION APPROACHES SHIN

A GHOST'S LOVE STORY

ACTOR YOU PHILIP

Philip, you're in danger.

We need to meet.

I need to tell you something.

This again? It's so annoying.

What is it?

PHILIP, YOU'RE IN DANGER. WE NEED TO MEET UP

Who is this?

Who could be sending Philip such messages?

I don't know that number.

I've been getting them since I arrived at the airport.

It's the fifth time already.

How? You just changed your number a few days ago.

Do you think it's Yun-a?

She could be preparing a surprise party at home.

She has a radio show.

Did you get back safely?

I'm sorry.

I suddenly had a recording scheduled,

so I couldn't go to the airport.

Maybe I should have just skipped it to see you.

I miss you like crazy.

Yes, I'm crazy hungry too.

I'm about to faint.

I love you too.

See you later.

I can't. I'm going to Gapyeong.

Isn't that too unrealistic for an eight-year-old couple?

-There's no way that's real. -I'm sorry.

A GHOST'S LOVE STORY

SHOULDN'T WE MEET? RA-YEON

Excuse me.

Who gave this to you?

There's no postmark.

It didn't come by mail or delivery.

Some woman dropped it off herself.

A GHOST'S LOVE STORY

People call Ki Eun-yeong

the writer who has the Midas touch.

I'm sorry. Was I a little too crude?

Not at all.

That's what everyone wants to know.

"How much does she make from tapping her fingers?"

No one cares how hard I worked

or what I gave up for it.

I care.

What did you give up?

First, marriage.

Sleep.

Internal peace. Rest for the soul.

And

even friendship.

I gave up everything I could.

This is a silly question,

but your first and second dramas were so different.

Some people wonder if you have a ghostwriter.

Who are the despicable rats that spread such rumors?

Sorry?

Don't you think it's a good expression? "Despicable rats."

I'll have to use that in a script later.

I don't pay attention to people's gossip.

I believe that a writer must avoid

writing in the same style repeatedly at all costs.

A Ghost's Love Story will also be

very different from The Ax of Truth.

My appointment is with Ms. Ki?

-I'm leaving. -Philip.

Please. You came all the way here anyway.

She saw us.

I told you over and over. I won't work with her.

Hey. Please...

Let's just talk. Just talk.

Let's go. Come on.

First, congratulations.

I saw you win the award on TV.

Did you read the script for the first episode that we sent?

No.

Philip only just got back.

I see you were busy.

The date of the broadcast is set. We have a director too.

Lee Sung-jung. He's new, but he studied abroad.

Sure.

Since you didn't read the script, I'll explain briefly.

The title is A Ghost's Love Story.

You're the lead character, Shin.

If shamelessness is a talent,

you truly are gifted.

-What? -How could you ask me

to work with you?

Are you angry at me?

I heard what you said during The Ax of Truth.

You said that I should just read what you wrote.

"How dare a parrot throw in ad-libs"?

If you want me to just read,

you should write better lines.

Still,

if you hear what this story's about,

you'll be intrigued too.

You'll want to do it.

I'm sure of it.

I met with the director Steven Taylor in the US.

The one who made four billion in the box office last year.

He's preparing to shoot an action movie later next year.

He offered me the lead.

That's next year. You're free this year...

You're breaking into Hollywood?

So you want to do movies?

I wouldn't have spent all that money on airfare

just to bring back an award.

Okay, then.

He's suddenly acting like he's some big shot actor.

I've been one for quite a while now.

Long enough to reject tacky writers like you.

What?

Tacky?

Why you little...

-Are you done? -Find a shoddy actor

to match your shoddy script.

Someone right up your alley.

Hey, you.

I'll bury you.

I'll destroy your career.

Please calm down, Ms. Ki.

Don't you think I can do the same?

-What are you saying? -Go ahead.

Go ahead, and bury me!

What? Tacky?

-Try burying me. -Let go.

-Try burying me! -Let go!

I'm sorry!

I'll kill you!

Go ahead! What?

You should go.

Go. Now.

Stop right there!

Hey, you!

What is this?

Darn it. That psycho.

What's this? Seriously.

Where are you?

Are you done already?

I thought you'd take a while, so I came to the sauna.

-I'll be right out. -Seriously.

Where's the car?

-Basement Level One. -Basement...

I told you not to park underground.

If you're scared, just wait there.

I'll pick you up.

What? I'm not scared. Forget it!

Hello? Where are you?

If I knew, I would've gone home on my own.

I followed the navigation system, but I'm lost.

You can track my phone, right?

Come find me.

Why do you talk so much?

Just come.

Where am I?

Hey.

Do you have the script for part two?

I haven't decided on the ending.

How can you take a week to come up with an ending?

It needs to have an impact since it's the ending for part two,

but I can't think of anything good.

I'm bringing it to you now.

Why are you coming yourself?

No.

I'll bring it myself.

I need to talk to you too.

You need to talk to me?

Do you have a director?

No, not yet.

What about the date of the broadcast?

The date of the broadcast? We haven't even cast the actors yet.

That's not what you said.

You said once part one is out, the date of the broadcast will be set,

and you'll go public about being co-writers.

I'm sure that's what you said to me.

Exactly.

That's why I'm telling you to write the script!

Everyone says they'll decide based on part two.

Let's talk in person.

Couples burn in hell. Being single is the best.

A handsome man will come at the end of suffering.

What was that?

Gosh, why are they doing that on my car?

-Tell me. -I really don't know.

What message did you send to that jerk?

How much did you tell him?

They won't do that all night, will they?

What's going on?

What do I do?

What... What do I do?

Let her go right this instant!

Blood.

My face. Don't hit my face. Not my face.

No.

What do I do? Seriously.

Let her go right this instant!

Why you...

What is with her now?

A person is in there?

What are you doing? Run!

Run! Now!

Not you.

You and I need to talk.

What's her problem?

Why did she butt in when she can't even fight?

That's right.

Wait. Don't hit my face. Not my face.

-What's this? -Oh, no.

-Get out. -Hold on.

You're dead. Hey.

What's this?

She's insane.

Hey. Wait.

I have nothing to do with this.

Hey! You're dead now. It's two against one.

Why are you hiding behind me?

Don't be a wimp. We can do it!

I'm not a wimp.

Anyone would be scared in this situation.

-You're dead now! -No, no.

No.

Our opinions differ on the matter.

I mean, we have nothing to do with each other.

So let's be on our ways,

and do our own thing.

That woman couldn't have gotten far. You should run after her.

Hey, you! You're dead now!

I'm calling the police. I saw your face!

I didn't see anything.

I won't report you. I saw nothing.

-I really didn't see... -Go get him!

Where are you going?

Hey, you. Wake up. Hey.

What is this? Where's her face?

Hey. Wake up.

Get up.

Am I dying?

Pathetically like this?

That stinks.

Blood.

It's me, Su-jeong.

Something strange is happening

because of that script, A Ghost's Love Story.

Ms. Ki?

Ms. Ki? Is that you?

Ms. Ki.

I won't say anything.

I promise.

The secret is safe with me.

IT'S ME, SU-JEONG

SOMETHING STRANGE IS HAPPENING

BECAUSE OF THAT SCRIPT, A GHOST'S LOVE STORY

What does she mean?

You look like you have a lot to say.

Come in.

You scared me.

-I need this. -You're bleeding!

Your hand.

Here.

I need to use this.

Okay.

But...

Did he wake up?

She told me to come.

Did she go somewhere?

KI EUN-YEONG

The phone is turned off.

Please leave...

Eul-sun?

Ms. Oh!

Mr. Lee. What brings you here?

Well, I had a meeting...

What happened to your hand?

This... This is nothing.

Let me see.

Let's go to a hospital.

No, it's fine.

Let's go.

Hey!

Are you awake?

Are you okay?

What? How did I get here?

I brought you.

Seriously.

I was so scared.

I thought you were asleep,

but when we got home, I saw you were all bloody.

You weren't hurt, so I didn't call a doctor.

But

why were you wearing this black bag?

What about that woman? What happened to her?

What woman?

Were you with a woman?

Not Yun-a?

Not like that. She just happened to be a woman.

She looked like a ghost.

She flew through the air and had hair down to here.

-She grabbed the knife... -Philip.

Should I call a doctor?

What's going on?

Weren't you studying abroad?

When did you return?

Today.

Anyway, how did you hurt your hand?

It... It's nothing.

Nothing? You got ten stitches.

Even the doctor said it was dangerous.

Then I'll get going now.

By any chance...

Did you have dinner?

I haven't yet.

Do you want to eat first?

Wash your hair!

I don't want to eat.

I see.

How about tomorrow?

But why do you keep tilting your head...

Did you hurt your neck too?

Let me see.

I'm fine.

Oh, no.

Are... Are you okay?

Are you okay?

I'm sorry. You're not even well.

-Sorry for bugging you. -Well...

It's not because I don't want to eat with you.

I just... I...

So I...

I couldn't wash my hair for three days.

That's why,

so please don't be offended.

It's been five days for me.

I have no idea how I look right now.

Is it bad?

It's been hectic

preparing for a new project.

So you're starting a new project.

Yes. I got one as soon as I returned to Korea.

I'm making my official debut.

That's great. Congratulations...

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

What's the title?

A Ghost's Love Story.

Doesn't it sound fun?

I was on my way to meet Ms. Ki, the writer.

But she wasn't in.

Hey, Eun-yeong. Open up! Let me in!

Ms. Oh. What is it?

What's going on?

Open up, right now!

I know you're inside! Open up!

What is wrong with her?

Hey.

Our apologies.

We have an appointment, but she won't let us in.

I know you're in there,

so open the door! Open it right now!

Darn it!

A GHOST'S LOVE STORY

Eat up.

Ms. Ki went into hiding.

I'm going out of town to edit the script.

I'll be in touch.

By any chance, did you write

A Ghost's Love Story?

She lied to you by saying she'll name you as co-writer,

didn't she?

I'm sure she was going to tell you today.

I was supposed to see her.

Are you stupid?

I was selected to produce this piece a month ago.

I got the script in the US and decided before I came.

The date of broadcast was finalized already too.

If she was really going to make you co-writer,

she would've told us

before the production team was finalized.

Why would she have hidden it from you?

You know what kind of person she is.

Why did you give her your script?

Why were you so stupid?

I saw your script.

It's the best.

Eul-sun.

Let me

help you with that.

I have the power now.

Naming you as co-writer won't be a problem.

Get out.

Get out. Just get out.

I was a new writer eight years ago, so I had no choice.

I was desperate,

and I didn't know you'd come back alive.

And after that?

You could've set things straight afterward!

Then how would I look?

I'd be cast out of this industry for stealing.

You're talented,

so I thought you could just write another one.

Get out. I don't want to even look at you.

Get out! I can't stand you anymore!

I'll die, Eul-sun!

I can't write anything!

I've slit my wrist so many times.

I can't die, but I can't write either.

Eul-sun.

Please save me. Please.

Let's work on it together.

Please, Eul-sun.

YOU PHILIP TAKES THE MAIN ROLE

IN KI EUN-YEONG'S A GHOST'S LOVE STORY

YOU PHILIP TAKES THE MAIN ROLE

IN KI EUN-YEONG'S A GHOST'S LOVE STORY

Issue a correction right now!

I won't forgive her.

I'll make sure she never finds work again.

If you don't want to go down with her, fix it!

CEO KANG TAE-SIK

Did you even read A Ghost's Love Story?

Why should I? I'm not doing it.

The title stinks just like she does.

But the script is fun.

Did you read it?

I get bored when you're shooting.

Scripts are piled up in the car.

A woman who died wrongfully for her love

becomes a ghost,

and she kills all the women

who approach her lover

one by one.

I can see that from the title.

Gosh, it gives me the creeps.

But where did I drop this necklace?

Mom.

It's my birthday tomorrow.

I'm 34 now.

You used to say

that my luck will turn around when I turn 34.

And to hang in there

until then no matter how hard it is.

But...

But why is it still so hard, Mom?

Mom.

Eun-yeong...

Mom, that wench...

Mom...

It's so dreary here.

Why does the wind sound like a woman crying?

-Is this the right place? -What?

What kind of a variety show films at a place like this?

It's about experiencing the backwoods.

The GPS says this is it.

Oh, my gosh.

It's the director.

Hello? Where are you?

The lodge?

We don't see the bed and breakfast anywhere.

Yes.

Okay. I understand.

Hey.

-Don't push. -Okay.

What kind of a house is this?

Right?

-Are you sure this is it? -What?

Is this it?

This is the only place with the lights on, but...

Let's just go.

-There's no one here. -Okay.

Excuse us.

We're a little lost.

Obviously,

it's not just your way that you've lost.

You lost something important, haven't you?

You.

What's wrong with you?

Why did we come in?

The assistant director said to wait until he comes for us.

We have nothing to do anyway.

Let's get our fortunes told.

Knock yourself out. I hate these places.

-I'll wait in the car. -But...

It's blocked all around.

It's blocked everywhere.

Darkness on all sides.

You can't take a step forward or backward.

Who? Me?

Sit. Come on.

Okay, old man.

Well...

This is his birthday.

Please check for him.

What is this?

You're not alive.

How dare you give me a dead person's date?

What do you mean? I'm perfectly alive.

This is someone who should have died 24 years ago.

You should be dead, but you're still here.

That's why Death comes for you every eight years.

It's over.

At midnight on August 8th,

you'll die.

It's over.

Then

what should we do?

About what?

We can just leave this room.

Make sure to pay him.

The woman.

You almost died eight years ago because of a woman. Right?

So hot.

It's so hot.

I feel like I'm suffocating.

I can't move.

I'm scared.

I'm scared!

That woman.

That woman is back.

She is determined to kill you this time.

You stole someone else's fate.

Just as you have been living someone else's life,

you will manage to survive that way.

Look here.

Then will you give it up?

Will you have it taken

or will you take it from her?

Choose, kid.

Will you die...

Or will you kill?

This year,

a strong earthly energy is sweeping in.

The day the world flips

and the sky becomes the ground

and the ground becomes the sky,

hold onto that woman who comes.

A woman?

Earthly energy?

Ho-dong?

Dong-yub?

Hey. Are you in on this too?

What? What do you mean?

Sure. You should deny it.

After they built this set, it would be a waste

if I figure it out too soon.

-Oh, my gosh. -Now's the time. Go!

I'm leaving anyway.

You must go now in order to meet her.

You must meet her if you want to live!

I'm leaving. Hey, let's go.

Okay.

Eul-chuk.

A GHOST'S LOVE STORY

I'm really sorry,

but I can't do it anymore.

Goodbye!

What's going on here?

What? What is that?

Where's the singing coming from?

What?

Thunder?

Thunder.

Landslide.

The ending of part two.

I thought of the ending.

Shin is trapped in a car...

Yes, Shin is trapped in a car!

No! Rain! My script!

No!

No!

Is it...

Is it really broken?

I shouldn't have given up on you so easily.

I was wrong. I'm sorry, so please...

Please just once. Just this once.

Please come back to life just this once.

It's on.

It's on.

I'm saved.

"A deserted mountain road.

Shin's car is parked on the road."

A DESERTED MOUNTAIN ROAD

SHIN'S CAR IS PARKED ON THE ROAD

The rain falls harder,

and a large lump of soil rolls down the hill.

Flash.

How did you know my real name?

What do you mean? Your real name?

How would he have known if you didn't tell him?

I don't know it either.

So your real name is Eol-chik?

Is it?

Okay. Keep playing dumb.

But I won't forgive you twice.

I really didn't.

But there is something weird.

What that fortune teller said earlier.

There's a fire

in A Ghost's Love Story too.

What?

She locks up the male lead and sets a fire.

That woman, Ra-yeon.

Who?

"Ra-yeon.

I failed eight years ago,

but I won't fail today.

Shin. Today, I will take you with me."

Who did you just say it was?

What's the female character's name?

Ra-yeon. Kim Ra-yeon.

"Thunder strikes.

At that moment,

the car shakes violently and the lights turn off."

Hey.

Hey. What's going on?

What happened?

I don't know.

At least turn on your cell phone.

It's blocked all around.

It's pure darkness.

It's dark!

It's blocked all around.

It's pure darkness.

It's dark!

It's blocked...

It's blocked all around.

-It's blocked -It's blocked...

all around.

-It's blocked... -It's blocked...

Do you want to work on A Ghost's Love Story with Ms. Ki?

It'll be perfect for me.

She said there will be flowers in my life when I turn 34.

My mom was right.

You Philip's car, which was passing by, was buried...

I wrote a about a landslide

and it happened right away.

Are we going to die here?

I won't let my family die ever again.
