PORTRAYED IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

JEONG TAE-EUL NATIONAL POLICE AGENCY

What the hell

do you think you're doing right now?

I've...

finally met you,

Lieutenant Jeong Tae-eul.

What are you doing? Are you out of your mind?

Can't you see my ID? I'm a police officer. What are you doing?

That was a greeting.

-What? -Because I'm happy to see you.

So, you were across the universe.

You really existed.

And after 25 years, you're still a lieutenant.

LIEUTENANT JEONG TAE-EUL BIRTHDATE: MAY 27TH, 1990

How do you know my rank?

I have been watching you for a long time, although you may not believe me.

If you knew I wouldn't believe you, why say such bullshit?

I will ask you again, sir.

Show me your ID.

I'm afraid I can't.

-I don't have an ID. -Why don't you have an ID?

Because I am

who I am.

I guess you won't believe this either.

What the...

It seems that my feelings are conveyed, and you are confused,

so I will sum up the current situation.

I am the King of the Kingdom of Corea.

I crossed the dimension with lightning and thunder

while chasing after a suspicious person and arrived here.

I was confused for a while,

but after giving it some thought,

I came to the conclusion that this is a parallel universe.

This is a parallel universe?

It's a bit different, but let's not get into the details.

There's already one thing

that makes a big difference.

QUEEN YUNA THE BEGINNING OF A NEW LEGEND

It seems that this country is ruled by a Queen in this universe.

And she seems to be pretty beloved.

We do love our Queen Yuna.

She's loved by the whole nation.

Just like I am.

Now, escort me to your Queen,

and give well-dried grass and water to Maximus,

my seventh-grade official.

How am I supposed to take you

to Queen Yuna?

You've got to buy a ticket.

There seems to be something wrong with our conversation.

-Am I right? -Now you're talking sense.

This is annoying.

He must be a movie star.

-He must be a celebrity. -Take a picture of his face.

So, you're saying

you came from a parallel universe,

where you are the King of the Kingdom of Corea.

And there was lightning on your way here.

And the horse is a seventh-grade official.

Is that what you're saying now?

It looks like you don't understand what a parallel universe is.

Did you not study science?

Who is this half-crazy bastard?

Is this what your personality is like?

Yes.

My personality has been like this for about 30 years now.

Why?

I have never imagined it.

I thought you would be softer...

This is new.

Sure.

Enough with the self-introduction.

Let me introduce myself now.

You didn't show me your ID, you violated the traffic law,

and you touched the body of a police officer on duty. Right?

You have the right to an attorney, and you have the right to remain silent.

If you move, it will only hurt more.

I am the King of the Kingdom of Corea--

My arm. My arm!

EPISODE TWO

FORENSIC SERVICE

-What a handsome white horse. -What is it?

-What's going on? -It looks so pretty.

It makes a great photo.

Where did you come from?

It looks great.

-I haven't seen a real white horse. -What's this?

Let me ask you again.

What's your name?

I can tell you, but you cannot call me by that name.

That's my answer again.

The name is not meant to be used.

Then let's say it's "Kim Gae-ddong" for convenience's sake.

"Gae-ddong" as in "dog poop"?

You could have called me "Hong Gil-dong" or "Mr. so-and-so."

And my family name isn't even Kim--

Mr. Kim Gae-ddong, take out all your belongings

and put them here.

If you disobey the order, I will take them out myself.

I will check your belongings.

THE KINGDOM OF COREA

Right, there was one there, too.

Think of it as the concern

of the Head Court Lady over the Royal Ancestral Shrine.

Good luck.

-100,000 won bills? -What's wrong?

Don't you have those bills here?

Did you play Monopolyyesterday?

-Did you buy much land? -Will you keep talking down to me?

You've talked down to me since Gwanghwamun.

-I'm three years older than you. -Does that matter right now?

Goodness. It looks quite real.

There's a chance that this may've been involved in crime or fraud,

so I'm seizing it.

-When will we get the result? -In about two hours.

Bring it to the office.

Okay. I'll bring it to you straight away.

What's that?

You don't have an ID, you failed to identify yourself,

and you've been uncooperative with police. You know that, right?

I need your cooperation with the fingerprint identification.

No one is allowed to touch my body. Even you--

Don't think that you just overpowered me.

I have trained my body with all kinds of exercises.

You seem to not believe me.

I hope to be able to prove it.

Rowing, horse-riding, taekwondo, fencing, boxing...

His Majesty went out again?

Yes.

He went out without permission again in the early evening.

I thought so, since my security level

has been elevated.

Where has he gone this time?

Did he go see the ice cap again?

No, not there.

He left all his winter clothes.

This time, I have no clue.

Captain Jo assumes that he disappeared

through the bamboo forest near the racetracks.

Just until this summer, he was shameless about running away.

This is no laughing matter.

You should really knock some sense into him this time.

Don't ask him if he had fun this time.

But that's my biggest interest.

So, what should we say this time?

We've already used acute gastritis

and acne caused by the change of season.

Why don't you use the method that you used a year ago?

Let's say he cooped himself up in his study

because he has math fever again.

Let's say he even has the Prince over to help him solve math problems.

I guess I should stay here for a few hours.

Looks like we'll have another rush of applicants for science and engineering.

This is so frustrating.

Captain Jo said he's searching, so let's hope he finds something.

The CCTVs caught him pass by the sixth point but not the seventh point.

This bamboo forest is the only thing between them,

but the footprints stop here.

It means he disappeared here,

which makes no sense.

I'll check the footage again to make sure we didn't miss anything

and search again.

Right.

That makes sense.

Either you missed something, or I missed what you missed.

You two take care of it. Just the two of you.

-You know what I mean. -Yes.

I will be on outside duty, so call me to keep me updated.

Right.

You said His Majesty went to check if it's a clock or rabbit, right?

Yes.

Seriously, we are innocent.

We had no idea that His Majesty was there.

We were trying to catch the bitch that ran away with our boss' money

and ended up there.

-That's what happened. -Hey.

That bitch doesn't have a home nor does she have an identity.

We must get her while she's in our sight. Otherwise, we can't.

Please be generous.

You see, we did some investigating,

and what they say mostly corresponds to what happened.

-Did you find the woman they were chasing? -Not yet.

We have our eyes on her too,

because she's committed various crimes like theft and assault.

But we don't know her face or her name.

Rather, we got tips from these guys.

-What is she called again? -Luna.

Luna, it is.

I will call you as soon as we catch her.

Please prepare the CCTV footage of her as well.

I will.

Hey.

Hey.

Give me a cushion to sit on.

Or at least a chair.

I have never sat on the floor before.

I know you can hear me.

Is he the person you talked about? Prince Charming?

JO EUN-SUP

Yeong.

Is that you, Yeong?

What's your problem?

I'm here.

This way.

He says he's not a prince but a king.

-He says he can't sit on the floor. -I see.

See? I knew you could hear me.

Yeong, I had no idea that you would follow me.

He's a little scary.

Director Jeong asked me to pass this to Squad Three.

This...

is for the delivery.

He's not

Yeong.

He's not.

Yeong? You keep saying that name. Who is that?

My name is Jo Eun-sup.

Why do you answer him? Don't talk to him.

One should not ignore what others say.

There is a horse outside.

It was one dashing horse.

Are you the owner of the horse?

He's like King Arthur. King Arthur rides a white horse, you know.

I loved that cartoon.

Did you see it?

Wait.

My, look at that watch.

What is it?

At least you have good taste.

It's the only watch in this world that was made

to celebrate the first victory of Maximus, my fine horse.

Right.

There are two worlds now.

It's the only watch in two worlds.

Yeong would have recognized right away

that the accurate watch doesn't go faster or slower

even by one tenth of a second.

I get it.

He speaks with elegance, just like his horse.

I wish my horses were as elegant.

-I do have horses too, you know. -You do?

Horseradish, sawhorse,

Red Horse.

Eun-sup.

It's seven already. Aren't you going home?

Wait.

I didn't want to say this,

but please lay it on at least a piece of paper.

It has never been laid on the floor.

He seems pretty ill.

This is why I told you not to talk to him.

I should get going.

FORENSICS TEAM GYEONG-RAN

You can't find his identity? At all?

Are you saying he's an unidentified man?

There must be some record.

I know. But we found nothing.

I haven't seen any adult over 30 whose fingerprints aren't registered.

It's a rare case, but there's a chance that he was a child

that went missing before registering his fingerprints.

Take his DNA sample and send it to the Women and Juvenile Division.

And I will have to take a look at the bank notes again.

I don't know who made it, but it looks like real money.

Good luck.

Okay, bye.

Gosh, I dug my own grave.

Seriously, who are you?

Open your mouth.

You tried to identify my fingerprints, but you failed to identify me.

Is that right?

It means

I don't exist in this world.

And the two worlds aren't exactly the same.

Will you keep talking nonsense?

-I said, open your mouth. -Just like I don't exist here,

you didn't exist in my world either.

It took me a while to find you and some effort to confirm it.

Your affiliation was questionable,

and a photo of you and your birthdate was the only lead I had.

A photo?

Are you saying you have a photo of me?

Why?

Why do you have a photo of me?

Seriously, what are you? You said this the moment you saw me.

"I've finally met you."

Why did you finally meet me?

You had better worry about your life.

Anyone who talks down to me like you gets beheaded.

Are you a spy?

Is your mission to explode this police station?

-Is that why you secretly investigated me? -You don't look that important...

-Do you know me? -I was curious about you,

and I thought about you a lot.

You also look better in real life.

That young man is the Captain of the Royal Guards in my world.

Some people don't exist in both worlds, like you and me.

So, this is a parallel world?

Prove it.

The proof is right in front of you.

I came

from the other world.

Why...

do you look at me like that?

How else should I look at you?

Make sure they don't give me the wrong idea.

Right now, your eyes are those of a criminal.

A petty criminal.

-Do you have any other proof? -Lieutenant Jeong Tae-eul.

To help you understand, I will give you a simple explanation,

so listen carefully.

Quantum mechanics, which Albert Einstein discovered...

You know, I don't know about other things, but I know my eyes are charming.

I was born with deep-set eyes.

What about the quantum mechanics which Albert Einstein discovered?

Did the mechanics fix a car or something?

Quantum mechanics, which Albert Einstein discovered,

led to the parallel universe theory,

which states that our universe consists of particles

that can exist in two places

if particles that form substances

can be waves as well,

just like light can be both waves

and particles at the same time,

and therefore suggests the possibility of the existence of parallel universes.

I guess that didn't help.

The theory where our universe--

Thanks for the speech.

They are all idiots.

I thought I'd see only gorgeous men once I became Prime Minister.

But you...

But you formed the cabinet.

I know.

I chose them to shoot in the foot.

-So, that was it for today, right? -Yes, ma'am.

I will see you tomorrow.

Was the state administration article published?

Yes.

Here.

And starting from tomorrow, His Majesty's schedule is open for a week.

So, I had a look into it

and the security level for Prince Buyeong has elevated, as expected.

So, the King ran off again.

Maybe he has a woman.

That woman is here.

If the King has a woman, that woman has to be me.

I'm trying to make the whole nation believe that,

so it would be bad if he has another woman.

Is she young? Is she pretty?

Chances are pretty high.

Get out.

Yes, ma'am.

THESE ARE THE FACES OF THE KINGDOM OF COREA

THEY LOOK CUTE TOGETHER

IS THE KING AND THE PRIME MINISTER ON A DATE?

He was right.

The left side of my face looks prettier.

The lipstick was a bit too much.

I'm letting you go because I'm a good cop. Consider yourself lucky.

I was bound to be freed after 48 hours anyway.

-There was no reason to arrest me. -Yes, but you got out earlier.

How can I contact you when I get the DNA test result?

Right.

Well...

You can contact me here.

I heard this was near your place.

-Who said that? -That young man from earlier.

ROYAL INFINITY HOTEL

Was his name Eun-sup?

I heard he was your junior in high school.

And I also heard that your father runs a taekwondo center.

Do you even know how expensive this hotel is?

This is a five-star hotel.

-Do you have money? -I don't, but I can get some.

Where's the nearest jewelry shop around here?

This is a diamond.

It's a diamond?

If that's a diamond, I'm Princess Diana.

I have been a gemologist for 40 years,

and I haven't seen a diamond with such delicate cuts.

I would say it practically has no inclusions at all.

Goodness.

Where did you get this?

I will ask where they bought it later.

The Head Court Lady is in charge.

How much can you give me?

Well...

It's a fine product, but there's no warranty.

And a fine diamond like this includes risks.

JEONG TAE-EUL NATIONAL POLICE AGENCY

-Are you a cop? -Yes.

Tell him about your other identity.

Princess Diana.

You seem confused.

So, what's with the diamond?

Did you steal it?

Have you ever seen someone bring a cop while trying to sell a stolen diamond?

Who knows? Maybe that Head Court Lady or whatever

stole it.

I will ask her that too.

She's not the kind of person, though.

What is that, by the way,

Princess Diana?

It's the 63 Building.

Why?

Does your world not have something like that?

We have 63 of those in Haeundae.

-Is that the only one here? -Yes, it's the only one.

You can take a taxi across the road to get to the hotel.

Are you leaving?

Why?

Don't go.

It took 25 years for me to meet you.

I hope

today will be a long day.

Get out of my way.

I already had a long day today because of Kim Gae-ddong.

LEE SANG-DO'S WIFE TESTIFIER

Hello?

Is this Mr. Lee Sang-do's wife?

Yes, I can. I will be right there.

Hey, Lee Sang-do's wife answered the phone.

Okay. See you at the hardware store.

I think it's been about three weeks since my husband left home.

Why didn't you report him missing then?

It's not like this is the first time he ran away after we fought.

I just thought he might be gambling somewhere.

This time it lasted a bit longer, though.

Is there anyone who might hold a grudge against him?

To be honest,

whoever killed him, it would make sense.

He borrowed money from everyone he knew.

He borrowed money from everyone, carrying two phones around.

Now I have to pay for all the debt...

My, she grew by leaps and bounds.

-Hello? -This is a collect call.

Eun-sup.

It's me, King Arthur.

Please pick up the phone. I need to talk to you.

If you wish to continue the phone call, press the pound key.

He's out of his mind.

Come in.

Wow.

I'm glad I managed to convince you after 13 attempts.

This suite is awesome.

By the way,

why did you bring me here?

I wanted to catch up with you.

"Catch up"?

We've got nothing to catch up with.

Everything in your left hand is all yours.

Do you want me to sit over there?

So, what should we begin with?

I want to see a photo of your family.

It would be better if it was from when you were very young.

Most people usually don't carry around photos like that,

but I looked the best then.

Hold on.

All right.

There it is!

Why do you want to see the photo, though?

I was right.

This is a parallel world.

Hey, do you want to die?

Answer your phone before I kill you.

You freak. A horse?

Are you serious? You told him, didn't you?

Pick up the phone already, or I will kill you.

Answer me! You are so dead.

Someone is texting you.

A warning of murder.

I heard you had a broad yard.

Please take good care of Maximus, my seventh-grade official.

What in the world is this?

It doesn't make any sense.

It looks so well-fed.

It doesn't seem to be a regular horse.

-It's a seventh-grade official. -I knew it.

Tae-eul, are you sure the man who left this horse is the owner?

If he is, you must not let him go.

Not many people in Korea own horses. He must be incredibly rich.

-Is that so? -Yes.

See that? Old sayings are always right.

"Nice horses for nice horses,

soft horses turn away wrath."

That's right.

It sounds somewhat off, though.

-Delivery! -What do you mean?

Hey, take a picture of it.

Did you order fried chicken?

-Yes. -Delivery.

Thank you.

I ordered some food. You should have some.

-Come here. -I have got no appetite.

Dang, I really am in trouble.

Kim Gae-ddong!

A moment of your time, please.

Has a well-built man in his early thirties,

around six-foot-one with a likable face,

checked into this hotel today?

I'm sorry, but we are not permitted to give out information--

Yes, I know.

You don't need to tell me.

Hold on a second, please.

The horse you left at my place.

I bet I can sell it for a good price.

I'm giving you ten minutes.

Please deliver this message to his room.

That was nine minutes and forty seconds. Close call.

The suite is on the upper floors,

so it took five minutes for the manager to come up.

-I headed down as soon as I could. -Sit.

I was about to.

Should I sit here like this?

What are you going to do about the horse?

If it's okay with you--

It's not okay with me.

I will feed him and brush him myself.

Stop stating the obvious.

It's only for a while.

I can't stay here for long.

I must return to my own world.

Could you lend my dear Maximus just 16 square meters of your lawn?

Isn't that my entire lawn? When are you going back to your world?

I haven't decided yet.

You should have done that first.

I should have,

but I postponed it for later.

I like

being here with you like this.

And you went shopping in the meanwhile?

I was out shopping for Eun-sup, and the clerk asked me to try it on.

I tried it as I needed a change of clothes,

and it looked so good on me.

I wasn't asking a question. It was an insult.

Never mind.

I'll look after the horse until the DNA test result comes in.

Why are you tying your hair?

Don't tie your hair.

Focus, will you?

I'm going to look after your horse.

Animals are innocent,

but Kim Gae-ddong might not be.

So, stay out of trouble until then.

Unless you want to find out how much your horse can sell for.

That was scary.

The cause of death is blunt force trauma to the head.

The stage of rigor mortis shows

that the body was disposed of in the trunk after death.

Taking into account that the decaying process was quick,

the death was three weeks ago.

The victim Lee Sang-do left home three weeks ago.

-Did you figure out what the weapon was? -Yes.

One is the wound on the corpse,

and the other is on the suspect, Kim Bok-man.

The two wounds are identical. There's one weapon.

It must be something quite heavy.

Could it be something like this?

A lever?

I don't see why not.

It's often used at the National Assembly too.

Could this be

what made these wounds?

I guess it could be.

-Let's find the weapon first. -Okay.

BOTTLES, METAL, STYROFOAM

Hello?

It seems that there's a dish called budaejjigae in your world.

I would like to try it. If you are free sometime--

Hello?

I'm in front of Gyeongbokgung Palace,

and they happen to be reenacting a royal event.

Why do they say it's for the last king?

Did something happen to Queen Yuna--

Hello?

I just discovered something very interesting.

It turns out the bakery that makes my pre-meal bread

exists in this world too.

What's odd, though,

is that everyone here is tasting--

Excuse me.

Thank you.

I wouldn't mind if you used it for longer.

That would be dangerous.

I suppose she's tying up her hair now.

I see.

I would like to have this one packed.

This is a sample.

Here.

No.

I want this.

Excuse me?

I'm sure you have a good car, a secretary,

and other better things to do.

Why are you doing tough work like this?

This dancheong has 300 years of history.

Painting over it like this

is as if I am covering it with another history.

A history of my own.

I see.

That's why

your color seems to have depth.

Good.

Thank you so much for coming to Myeong-ho's birthday party.

Don't say that. We should thank you.

It's fun.

Okay. So, enjoy the food and have fun.

Right. I got him a present.

-Happy birthday. -Happy birthday.

Thank you.

Hurry. Take a picture.

Look at his face.

He looks ugly in this one.

This one?

It would be nice if you could play soccer with Myeong-ho one day.

Now, shall we blow out the candles?

We were just about to leave.

We're going to play on a trampoline,

but Myeong-ho can't do that.

Let's go.

-I want to go to the toilet. -Sure.

No, I can go by myself.

I'm sorry.

We were too loud, weren't we?

What did you pray for?

Well...

I wish that my son could...

I wish my son could walk.

That will not happen.

Your child will never get to walk.

However,

you can make those children limp.

Would you like to change the prayer?

Three elementary students have been seriously injured

by a truck while jaywalking.

It is unlikely that the three students will make a full recovery.

We must review the speed limit in school zones.

Is there a happy occasion to celebrate?

Yes.

It's my dead son's birthday.

I'm sorry.

Why are you sorry?

Just finish what you were doing.

Ms. Song Jeong-hye, are you inside? It's the police.

I'm here because of your son, Ms. Song.

Your son...

tripped at a reservoir and drowned.

Your husband was killed in a hit-and-run.

Both your husband and son

had suspicious deaths.

Now, the whole world

will accuse you.

What do you want to do now?

Do you want redemption?

How pathetic you are.

You've sinned by laughing once,

and now you can never laugh again.

LEE JI-HUN

This is the record of the blackmailing text messages the victim sent you.

He sent dozens of messages a day, saying that you should watch out

and that he would kill you.

He even found the address to your apartment and blackmailed you.

Detective, you shouldn't let such trivial texts fluster yourself.

I didn't kill him.

A bloodstain was detected in your place.

That's my blood.

I was going home after drinking and someone hit the back of my head.

Is that so? When was that?

Tell me the exact date, time, and your whereabouts on that day.

I think it was three weeks ago.

Wait. Maybe it wasn't that long ago.

Damn it. I don't know.

When I regained consciousness, I found myself at home.

The floor was all bloody so I wiped it.

It's not your blood.

It corresponds to the victim's DNA.

Lee Sang-do attacked you with a weapon first and you murdered him

with the weapon.

Where is the weapon?

What weapon? I didn't do it.

Go ask at the bar. I'm a regular customer there.

NUMBER ONE

Wait.

It's Lee Sang-do.

I checked the CCTV,

and it's certain that Lee Sang-do followed Kim Bok-man three weeks ago.

Lee Sang-do followed him to the entrance of his apartment building,

and his whereabouts after that is unconfirmed.

The CCTV at the apartment is useless. The footage is only kept for a week.

It seems pretty simple now.

All we need to do is find the weapon.

The weapon?

It's ten. Let's go home.

-Let's go home. -Wait.

How did the owner of a hardware store, who is just an ordinary man,

find Kim Bok-man's phone number and home address?

There's no information whatsoever on Kim Bok-man's website.

Why would he hire a private detective

when he had so much debt?

I guess he didn't mind having a little more debt.

You see,

when one loses money and loses their mind, they can do anything.

We might need to hire a private detective ourselves to find the weapon.

Tomorrow, we need to scavenge--

That's a good point. Let's go home.

Let's go home.

Let's go.

Open your mouth.

You seem like a high-class horse, so I got an organic one.

What's the matter?

Is it not good enough for a seventh-grade official?

Does it have to be fresh from the farm?

My goodness.

Why do I feel like you just got mad at me?

Where's your owner?

Hey, Eun-sup.

Where are you now?

THE KOREAN WAR, A NATIONAL TRAGEDY

He's been doing that for three days now.

I gave him a cushion to sit on and fed him after work.

I will feed him today.

Why is she sitting there?

Is she his girlfriend?

He had a girlfriend?

Are you from the Louvre Museum? You're like a sculpture.

A nation that forgets its past has no future.

Drink this and keep it up.

Most people here seem very kind.

They kept giving me things like this.

And I discovered something important.

In this world, this country has a presidential system.

Well done.

She's leaving.

Is he going with her?

Please don't go.

-Oh, no. Don't go. -Please don't.

Why aren't you eating?

I don't eat food that wasn't tasted beforehand.

I could be poisoned anytime.

Is that so? Then how have you been eating food here?

Eun-sup did it for me.

You made him taste your food?

I didn't even have to. He always eats first.

So, are you saying I should taste your food?

No.

If this food is poisoned and I'm dying here,

what I'm saying now will be my last words.

Shoot.

Thank you for everything.

Because you existed somewhere,

I was less lonely

for the past 25 years.

How can food

taste like this?

I haven't tasted anything like this.

Do you not have any chicken in your world?

We don't have ones covered in sauce like this.

It tastes excellent.

What did you do in the library?

I read about your world's history.

I wanted to know how different it is from my world's.

So, how is it different?

The history of this country separated since Prince Sohyeon.

In your world, he passed away early,

while in my world, he remained in history as King Yeongjong.

He stopped the Qing invasion.

The history of the two worlds started to go separate ways since,

and ended up here now.

It seems that in your world, the country has quickly grown

through intensive industrialization since the war and division.

I was impressed.

Do you write novels online?

Is that what you wrote until now?

Do you think it's here?

The reason why I survived that day.

Even on a night like that, a baby is born.

Isn't it great?

That night,

I heard the sound of a flute.

Do you think it was the sound of Manpasikjeok?

No way.

Manpasikjeok doesn't make any sound, Your Majesty.

That's not true.

I definitely heard it.

That's why I went to Cheonjongo.

I couldn't hear anything

because the flute was too loud.

I couldn't even hear the gunfire.

I didn't know you remembered everything

because you have never mentioned what happened that day.

I held onto two things

that night.

I'm asking if one of them

is in the whip you are holding.

Also, whether or not you have the other one.

That's right.

I have been keeping it in secret,

and I brought it to give it back to you despite my fear.

What an odd thing it is.

Something that is silent made a sound,

and something that cannot be identified exists.

Which is why I wished

you had forgotten everything.

Is this a secret between us?

Yes, Your Majesty.

JEONG TAE-EUL NATIONAL POLICE AGENCY

Do you think it's here?

The reason

why I survived that day.

Why do you never believe

anything I say?

Is that how belief works?

Am I supposed to believe nonsense just like that?

I'm the type of person who still can't believe the Earth is round.

But a parallel universe?

Pre-meal bakery?

Stop your nonsense and eat before it gets cold.

Just do one thing before we get your DNA test result.

Do nothing.

If you don't believe me, why do you help me?

Is it some sense of duty?

You only need that when you have to save the country.

Then why?

There's no reason. I just do it.

I'm a police officer of the Republic of Korea.

Anything else?

Is there any other reason?

The reason why I have to stay in your world.

Could there be a reason?

EXHIBITION FROM KING TAEJO TO THE LAST KING SUNJONG

I just saw the White Rabbit with the clock.

Goodness. What was that?

Wait. You are Jo Yeong.

Where did you buy this?

It's our class uniform.

I suppose we ordered them online.

Please excuse me.

Can I take a picture with you?

No.

They said they would call me by today, but I still haven't heard back.

I guess it means I didn't pass.

Where are you? Let's go grab a drink.

Hang on a second.

Hey, I'll call you back.

THE ROYAL PUBLIC AFFAIRS OFFICE

Hello?

Yes.

That's me.

The final interview? Really?

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. Thank you. Bye.

Are you Ms. Myeong Seung-a? I work for the Royal Guard--

Jo Yeong. You're really him. This is unbelievable.

That's right. I'm Jo Yeong.

Is this the camera that you were holding at the rowing competition?

May I see the photos?

What?

Sure. Take a look. Here.

Did you know I was here?

Yes, I knew you were here.

Oh, you did.

How?

Thanks for your cooperation.

Could you please send me the photos by email?

Wow.

I guess these photos are helpful.

I don't know yet, but I might find a clue later.

Here's my email address.

He's so cool.

I can hear you.

Really?

Did you investigate the assailants from the rowing competition?

Yes, but they seem unrelated to His Majesty's absence.

I found one lead, though.

It's the woman that caused the incident.

It seems that His Majesty was after that woman as well.

Wait.

His Majesty was after whom?

A woman?

I just saw the White Rabbit with the clock.

It's just my suspicion.

I will let you know when I find concrete evidence.

-Make sure to investigate thoroughly -Yes, ma'am.

The talismans haven't been working,

so I was just about to go and grab the shaman by the hair.

I might end up bowing to her to show my appreciation.

One, two, three.

I think that car owner will understand me.

Welcome.

Weren't you just in the yard?

Wait. Are you the owner of the horse?

It's nice to finally meet a citizen who recognizes me.

As you probably have assumed,

I am the owner of the seventh-grade official, Maximus,

who is staying in the yard for a while.

I am also the King of the Kingdom of Corea.

What an interesting character you have.

If you don't mind, I would like to have a cup of tasted milk tea.

It's 5,800 won and you need to pay first.

Hey, I'm in the yard. Come on down.

Give me five minutes.

Were you home?

He appeared at the Gwanghwamun Junction, on horseback.

He seemed a bit crazy, but he's good-looking.

I found no one that matches his fingerprints.

But he was handsome.

I heard Tae-eul got herself into a difficult situation with a handsome guy.

Have you seen him?

Hey, Eun-sup is waiting. You can go first. I'll join you after hanging the laundry.

What should we order? Half and half?

-Hey, wait-- -Sounds great!

I know that I have just met you,

but what exactly is the relationship between you and Lieutenant Jeong?

The relationship between Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny?

The relationship between two and three?

The relationship between Hongdae and Kondae?

What do you mean?

If you know we just met, then why do you say such bullshit?

That's what I meant.

Stand there.

It's a mug shot. Just in case. I heard you're unidentified.

Stand there.

Are you crazy? What was that?

Just in case you are my savior.

I wished you weren't, and you aren't.

Who is this crazy bastard?

I've heard that many times since my arrival, although...

that doesn't mean you can say it, though.

Every word you say is beyond common sense.

You had better watch what you say.

Beheading is my kindest offer.

What do you think my kindest offer is, then?

I'm kindest when I've just met someone.

Which means if I see you again, there will be more than just kind words.

Yes, I'm coming.

I still have no clue what relationship he and Tae-eul have.

Father!

APRIL 2006

Are we living in the Joseon era or what?

How could you accept eggs for tuition?

Well, Min-gu's family sells eggs...

and they have too many left this month.

You know, it takes quite a while to go to the supermarket to buy eggs.

It's all protein.

You're saying nonsense.

How can you pay the rent for the center with this?

I told you that you should help the kids with their homework.

You can't teach the five tenets of taekwondo

to the kids that want pink belts.

By the way,

why haven't you shown me your report card from April?

Tell me.

It's been four months since you entered high school,

and I haven't seen any report card.

Father,

I have a good idea.

It's a brilliant idea.

The idea just crossed my mind,

and I think it will work.

-Want to play pool? -You are so bad, but if you insist.

Hey, you are the worst.

Hey, wait.

Let's go.

TAEKWONDO

It doesn't work.

Taekwon!

I told you I wanted to get the double eyelid surgery.

You will get it when you're older.

Do it properly.

Keep holding up. Then you will get it.

All right. Let's do it again. Taekwon!

Taekwon!

Good. Let's do it again. Keep your voice up.

Taekwon!

Taekwon!

I told you it was a brilliant idea.

Someone actually came.

All right. At ease.

That's it for today. Let's take a bow.

Thank you for the lesson!

What are you doing here?

I know what "half and half" means too.

I'm coming with you.

No, you aren't.

Have quality time with your seventh-grade official.

Anything else?

Is there any other reason?

The reason why I have to stay in your world.

Could there be a reason?

Why are you still here? Will you keep standing here?

You...

really shouldn't treat me like this.

Why not?

Because it upsets me.

-What? -Why would you leave me?

You are the only person I know in this world.

You are driving me crazy.

Fine. Since you brought it up, let me ask you.

Why am I the only person you know in this world?

You act like you know me, but I don't know you.

How do you know me?

I acquired your ID card 25 years ago.

To be precise, someone lost it.

Twenty-five years ago?

Who lost it?

I'm still looking for the person. They seem to be related to you.

Of course.

If that person had my ID card, they have to be related to me somehow.

Let's say what you are saying is true.

But 25 years ago,

I was only five.

Of course, I was more than qualified to become a detective when I was five.

But still, you fool,

how would someone find my ID card 25 years ago?

I don't know how, but the ID card that I have

was issued on November 11th, 2019,

and I've been waiting for that day.

November 11th?

That's Leonardo DiCaprio's birthday.

I totally forgot about him.

Were we just meant to be?

Hey, Mr. Kim Gae-ddong.

You're having delusions.

Seriously,

stop this and go see a doctor with the money you got from the diamond.

I don't have any left.

Right. It's...

I'm not just saying this.

You must have a family,

and they must be worried about you.

Family...

Is that what you wanted to know?

Yes, it is.

Okay, then. I will give you an answer.

I'm still single.

What are you trying to say?

Which means I don't have any immediate family.

Therefore, I have just made a very important decision.

I am going to give you the position where you have to know who I am.

Fine.

Give it to me. What is it?

I wish I could understand you.

Lieutenant Jeong Tae-eul.

I take you...

to be my wife, the Queen.

-What? -You just became the reason.

The reason...

why I should stay in this world.

Goodness.

He isn't half-crazy, he is completely crazy.

-I have been longing for you for 25 years. -Be quiet!

-You will be beheaded for cutting me off. -I can't stand you!

-What is this logo? -I left the palace for too long.

Where are you?

I can stop time.

I think it's a side effect from crossing the gate.
