(Must You Go?)

(This drama is purely fictional and is not associated...)

(with actual people, organizations, locations, or incidents.)

My Lady, come and listen to the music with me.

My Lady.

Can you stop following me around?

I feel like I'm babysitting.

This is fascinating.

How can music come out of this small object?

Gosh.

What is this for?

Unbelievable.

Well, if I could take...

these items back to where I am from,

everyone would be thrilled.

Gosh. I know.

They will be fascinated.

I know.

But is there anything you want to tell me?

Well, like what?

You are unbelievable.

Come with me.

My goodness. Slow down.

What a mess.

Tell me what happened.

No, explain what happened in detail.

If I do, will you not be mad?

Now.

Okay. Well,

I do not remember when it was.

My goodness. This is a double-edged sword.

It is light and warm, but I am trapped.

I cannot move around in this.

This is killing me.

I must get out of this quickly.

I did it.

Oh, my.

My goodness. That could have been the death of me.

This must be how it feels to be inside a whale's belly.

Anyway, if Haegeum finds out, she will give me a hard time.

I should not just sit here and worry now.

My Lady, are you sleeping?

I hope I did not wake her up.

Is this the right thing to do?

I hope it's not too cold out there.

Tell them that I cannot go

If they want to take me when I turn 70

What? Who is this?

How much longer?

A ghost. It's a ghost!

I can't go!

- My goodness. Get away from me. - I can't go!

I can't go! I won't go!

Goodness. Oh, my.

- Are you okay? - I'm not going!

Slow down!

Instead of helping you, I seem to make things worse. I am sorry.

It's my fault.

It's not that I can't trust you.

I've been living alone ever since I was a kid.

Locking the doors is just a habit of mine.

That must have been hard.

Yes, it was tough. But I am okay.

I'm used to it now.

You and I have gone through all kinds of troubles.

When I was young, I was proud and stubborn.

So I would never beg for food even if I starved to death.

And I have one more problem on my hands.

During my tough upbringing, music became my goal.

And with music, I was able to get this far.

You must not give up on your dream either.

I don't have time to sit here and talk about dreams.

I should have practiced all night. Even that wouldn't have been enough.

I can't believe I'm babysitting you here.

For what?

Actually, I have an audition in a couple of days.

"Audition"?

Oh, that. To put it simply,

they gather aspiring singers and make them compete.

Singers.

Well, they select...

skillful and talented aspiring singers.

And this TV show helps them become famous.

Talented singers.

I see. It is similar to Poongwoldang in my town.

Poongwoldang?

That is how Poongwoldang came about too.

I am starting to remember a few things about it.

Singers, dancers, and musicians from all over the empire...

came to Poongwoldang and gathered together.

They competed with each other and had fun.

"Poongwoldang"?

Which TV station is hosting that? I've never heard of it before.

I cannot believe that you have not heard of Poongwoldang.

I guess you are still new to this field.

Don't tell me...

you're talking about Joseon.

Of course.

You can find the best music in Joseon at Poongwoldang.

I see.

Lady Haegeum.

Lady Haegeum.

Gosh. I was not done.

I have a busy day today. I need to check a few things.

Try to keep up with me. And don't fall behind.

How about a meal first?

Hello.

Hey. Are you going to your part-time job?

Yes. To the convenience store.

Seriously. I really admire your diligence.

Oh, right. Don't stay out too late for the time being.

Pardon? Why is that?

I saw a ghost yesterday.

- A ghost? - Yes!

My wife said that I was losing it.

But I am certain of what I saw with my own two eyes.

Be careful out there.

He was wearing a white robe. And he had his hair up...

like some goblin or ghost. It was sticking out like this.

And his eyes were big and round.

I almost gnaw on him like I would gnaw fried chicken.

- Fried chicken? - Yes.

So you know what I did to the ghost?

I peed on... No, never mind.

Sir, there's no such thing as ghosts now.

Anyway, it's still dangerous. Be careful.

- Come home early. - Okay.

- Bye. - Okay, then.

I told you to be careful.

You might end up in big trouble.

By the way, do you not think the seat too small?

Men and women should be seated separately,

but we are sitting too close.

Then don't sit like that.

So I should sit like this.

No, don't cross your legs.

Like this?

Are you kidding me?

Anyway, it seems like there are many different occupations here.

What do you do, Lady Haegeum?

Well, I do some part-time jobs. I'm not that different from others.

I guess they only work here.

There are people who enjoy their lives even when they do...

part-time jobs by dating people and attending classes.

And there are others who stay in the same place...

no matter how hard they work.

Are you the type that remains in the same place, Lady Haegeum?

Why are you looking at me like that?

It takes a lot to remain in the same place.

I'm living a good life, you see.

So it is not so easy to make a living in this place.

By the way, where are we going?

Have you heard of a library?

Well, I'm going there to find out...

the Joseon you remember.

I'm going in hopes of finding more about you...

and your identity.

That might bring back your memories.

Then is there a lot of information on people's identities?

It's the best place for those.

You're from far, far away Joseon,

so we'll be able to get some clues.

Also, you need to figure out why you keep saying you're from Joseon.

You'll only get to your senses then.

That's why we're going there.

Retrieving my memories...

- Are you okay? - Yes, I'm fine.

Darn you.

What was that?

You're acting like a fool on purpose, aren't you?

It is just a misunderstanding, My Lady.

Who are you? Where do you live?

It is a misunderstanding.

You got me wrong! My gosh.

It really is a misunderstanding.

(Library)

This is amazing.

There are so many books here.

- Be quiet. - They are stacked up so high.

This is just...

It is so fascinating.

- Oh, my. My goodness. - Wait.

Look over there.

Look at all these books! And this lighting!

I can even see the sky from here.

It feels like paradise here.

This really is amazing.

We have a lot to do today. Let's go now.

Let's go.

"Together with Goguryeo's Wang San Ak and Silla's Ureuk,"

"Park Yeun is known as the three musicians of Korea."

That is a precise record.

"During the reign of King Woo of Goryeo,"

"he was born as Minister Park Cheon Seok's son."

"His hometown is Miryang, and his childhood name is Yeun."

"His name given as an adult is Tanbu and his pen name is Nangye."

"He passed the civil service examination in 1405,"

"and he became an official at the Jade Hall of Scholars."

"He then became the director of the Jade Hall of Scholars."

"After King Sejong ascended the throne,"

"he became a senior officer of the music research institute..."

"and researched music composition."

Who wrote all these?

It is the future I have yet to live.

Loot at this!

(Park Yeun, a musician in the early Joseon period)

It's really true.

It looks exactly like you.

Is it true?

This guy in the picture is standing in front of me?

It says here that Park Yeun suddenly disappeared.

It's strange.

If this is referring to the Park Yeun of the Joseon period,

he didn't disappear.

I remember reading that he spent the rest of his life...

composing music.

Yu Jeong.

You know my name?

But I've never told you.

Min Yu Jeong.

What's this?

Did I ever mention my name?

I remember everything now.

A promising young musician suddenly disappeared,

and for some reason,

he's shown up in front of me after hundreds of years?

But why?

Do you remember how you got here?

Are you okay?

Are you not feeling well?

So you're saying...

that lady has the same name as me and looks exactly like me?

Yes.

And you're not sure why,

but after jumping into the fire,

you saw me playing gayageum?

That is right.

I also do not understand why...

I am at this place, at this hour...

with you who looks exactly like...

Lady Yu Jeong.

Actually, strange things have been happening to me.

I've been seeing some things recently.

Did something happen? Why aren't you coming?

Look at the time! I have to go to work!

Let's get up first.

I have to go to work. I'm late.

Let's wrap it up for now and talk later.

I'm so sorry for being late.

It's fine. I have nothing to do at home anyway.

Oh, right. By the way...

Are you dating someone?

Why would you ask that?

It's just a hunch. Something's fishy.

Do I smell like fish?

Seriously? Was I wrong?

Who am I kidding? You have no time to date a guy.

Goodness, is this where you work?

Who is he? Do you know him?

There is so much food here. It is like paradise.

What's he wearing? And why does he talk funny?

It's a long story. I'll explain next time.

Don't tell me you've joined some kind of a cult.

No, it's nothing like that.

I do not wish to bother you, so I will wait outside.

He's from Joseon.

He traveled through time...

- Are you sick? - No.

Forget it. You won't believe me anyway.

He's just someone I'm taking care of.

You're in no position to take care of anyone.

- Is he your boyfriend? - No, he's not.

You told me you keep seeing this weird man...

in your dreams and hallucinations.

Oh, you're right. That man...

I wonder why I saw him there.

I bet Do Yeong knows something.

(Min Yu Jeong)

Both our destinies are intertwined.

There has to be another person who is experiencing the same thing.

I cannot be the only person who is going through this.

Are you...

- Are you talking to me? - Lord Kim.

My goodness, this is bad.

You're mentally ill just like me.

My goodness. Lord Kim, how did you end up here?

Do you remember me?

Do you know how we got here? Do you know how to return to Joseon?

What are you talking about?

How would I know when I don't even know what to do with my life?

But wait a minute. What happened to you, Lord Kim?

Why do you keep calling me "Lord"?

I'm just a guy who lives day by day.

Where do you live?

It is me, Park Yeun. I am Park Yeun from Joseon.

"Joseon"? You're Park Yeun from Joseon?

Goodness, you know me.

You're unbelievable. What is this nonsense?

If you're sick, just go to a hospital.

By the looks of it,

it looks like you're trying to take over my turf.

But don't even dare. You know what I mean, right?

And eat this.

You look nice, but you're not. I'll be off then.

"Eat this"?

Lord Kim.

I'm a big sinner.

A big sinner?

Did you kill someone?

Gosh, are you mad?

Let's just say I gambled,

got wasted, and cheated on my wife.

I did all sorts of horrible stuff.

How did you end up like that?

What's there to ask? One thing just led to another.

Let's stop talking about me. Now tell me about yourself.

What did you do wrong?

Well...

I failed to save the woman I loved.

I felt so guilty that I could neither die...

nor live properly.

And I ended up lost for eternity.

I must say, destinies can be...

very nasty.

I also wonder every day what might've happened to me...

if I had never met that woman.

Thanks for the milk.

I'm off now.

Hey, wait.

Sir, wait. Hey, you! The man in the blue hanbok!

Sir! Wait!

Sir, wait.

I am in a rush. Let us talk next time.

No, it can't wait. I need to talk to you right now.

- I am in a rush. - So am I.

Hey, I told you numerous times that I am in a rush.

How dare you block my way!

What's with this gentleman? Tell me your name.

No, just give me your ID.

Get lost now that you know I am a gentleman.

Where do you think you're going?

And did you just tell me to get lost?

Goodness. Your hands, please.

Here are my hands.

I'm handcuffing you to prevent you from running away.

If you cooperate, I'll let you free.

What... What are you doing?

Sir, you violated Article 10 of the Road Traffic Law.

You need to pay a 30-dollar fine. Tell me your social security number.

"Social security number"? What is that?

The 13-digit number that includes your date of birth,

sex, and area code.

Goodness, how do you expect me to memorize all that?

I do not know any 13-digit numbers,

but I do have this.

- What's that? - This is my identity tag.

Gosh, you've got to be kidding me.

This is an obstruction of justice. You know that, right?

Just hurry up and tell me your social security number.

My goodness.

I really need to go.

- I'm sorry. - He really needs to watch out.

And make him get changed.

- I'm sorry. - Be careful from now on, okay?

An adult shouldn't jaywalk.

- I'll be off now. - Thank you, officer.

Thank you.

Are you okay? Are you hurt?

I am not hurt.

But I am sorry for making you spend money.

It's all right as long as you're okay.

I feel as if I keep making a fool of myself here.

That's how everyone is.

And I made my first mistake today too.

I charged 1 of my customers 20 cents less today.

Everyone makes mistakes.

Everyone does?

You of all people will make a lot more...

since you don't remember anything.

Feeling hopeless is natural in your everyday life.

So it's okay.

Thank you for being understanding.

But we have to do something at home.

- Again? - Let's go.

Wait, My Lady.

Goodness.

Oh, my.

We need a lot of things to survive in this world.

And the most important thing is...

It is...

"Reading the situations".

If I fail to read the situations, will that be the end of me?

I'll keep this simple.

Let's say you're walking. You are hopping and skipping.

Your hanbok is fluttering away. And you're in a good mood.

And you're humming too.

But that's when a drunk man staggers toward you and follows you.

- And he's scowling at you. - Okay.

Then, what should you do?

I should help him.

It's like you want to get in trouble.

- I should buy him a meal? - Are you mad?

You should run away.

If you help someone like that, you'll be in big trouble!

Report to the police right away.

All right. Here's your next question.

A stranger comes to you,

pretends to be all nice, and asks you to come with him.

Then, what do you do?

"Lead the way. I will go with you."

You are asking for trouble.

I mean, a nice man is asking me for help.

How could I turn a blind eye?

All right. Here's a key point.

Whether he's kind or not is not what matters.

What matters is that you do not know this man.

If someone is nice to you for no reason,

there's always a catch.

If you follow him like that, I'll never see you again.

Then, why did you help me?

Because...

That is enough.

My stomach is growling because I am starving.

But the homeowner cannot read the situation...

and keeps lecturing me.

You didn't eat yet.

As long as you can read the situations, you'll get by.

Oh, right. Stop when the light is yellow or red.

And only cross when it's green.

I definitely learned that today.

What a difficult world.

But the fact that I met you makes me...

fully satisfied.

So...

the woman whom you loved in Joseon was born again.

- And that woman is me, right? - Yes.

Maybe, I just look like her.

No. Your voice and your laugh.

Everything about you tells me you are her.

I don't know how I feel about this yet. It's like I'm dreaming.

I know that this is happening right before my eyes.

But it's complicated.

I feel the same way.

A long time ago,

you were trying to save a woman you loved in Joseon...

and somehow, you traveled to the future.

And the woman you saw here...

looks just like your lover and has the same name as her.

Yu Jeong.

And that's me.

Min Yu Jeong.

Go to sleep first.

Where are you going?

I want to practice singing.

You can do it here.

It's okay. When I practice outside, I can get some fresh air.

And I think I'll focus better there.

Go to sleep.

The pain you are feeling without knowing why

Just think of it as a dream

If you truly

If you resent me

Blame my foolishness

I will not bid you farewell

The pain you are feeling without knowing why

Just think of it as a dream

I must say, destinies can be very nasty.

I also wonder every day what might've happened to me...

if I had never met that woman.

When you want to solve a problem,

then,

go back to the moment the problem started and go over it in your head.

I am sure...

I am sure that you're missing something big.

Something big.

What am I missing?

What could it be...

that my heart is aching this badly?

I will not bid you farewell

The pain you are feeling without knowing why

Just think of it as a dream

(Must You Go?)

Let's go. You have an audition.

Hurry. Follow that car. Let us hurry!

Gosh, it's so obvious that you like this girl.

You must remember...

that she will die because of you.

Starting now, you can make your own destiny.

I can make my own destiny?
