Legend says a 1,000 year old fox can become human only if...

...she eats the livers of 1,000 men before a millennium.

This family of foxes achieved it and became humans long ago.

You know our family motto is the law of the jungle.

Naive Ku Mi-jin, was the only one left,

as she only took livers that were willingly offered through love.

She's at danger of disappearing into air if she doesn't get a liver in 100 days.

Among all the men that appear in front of her.

Will she find the 1,000th man's liver to become human?

Episode 1

Why does love expire sooner?

This is mine.

No, mine!

I'm sorry. Kids were just playing. Sorry.

Get some rest if you're tired.

I'm okay.

Pain killers please. I have a terrible headache. Probably due to the altitude.

Okay, sir.

This can't be...

This can't be a wind shear, right?

Check the automatic alert system.

Ladies and gentleman, we...

What is this?

Will you fasten your seat belts?

Please remain seated and wear your seatbelts...

...until the seat belt sign is turned off.

Turn off all electronic devices as it can affect our communication...

...and navigation equipments.

We apologize for inconvenience and we'll keep you posted.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Wind shear is detected.

This is CLL Echo 001.

Altitude 32,000 feet, wind shear detected.

We're turning around, repeat, turning around.

Emergency, emergency!

We hit a wind shear. Everything out of control.

Repeat, everything out of control. Impossible to pilot.

What is this? It can't be the end.

Only one left now. Only one man.

We're nose-diving.

I'm Kim Jung-tae!

If any of you survive, please tell my family I loved them till the end. Please!

Mom...

Mi-mo...

Excuse me. If you survive, please tell my mom I really wanted to be human.

I'm glad to die in your hands, master.

General, she's a fox with nine tails.

Shoot her already!

I'll take care of her.

I can't obey your command. Shoot!

No!

I'm sorry. Master.

Let go of my hand. Do you mind?

You look the same.

You mean I look like someone you know?

It's not that.

You're slow and corny too. You really need to become human.

It's not that.

Yeah yeah. Come straight from there... Right.

You're here already.

Is this how you greet your brother?

Give me some water.

You should've called me ahead of time.

Water tastes the best here.

Strange.

What is?

Are you hiding something?

Of course not. Stop interrogating me.

Go unpack.

You're not... getting reservations, are you?

Of course not. Go already.

Wait, wait.

Let's talk now that you brought it up.

We need customers to make money.

We can't if you keep being so selective about customers.

Honestly I can't make a living like this. Why did you even option contract me?

I didn't expect this life when I graduated Le Cordon Bleu.

Are you confessing you received reservations?

You know... you have a trust issue.

Okay.

Who is that?

Oppa, we're here.

I think you're mistaken. You can't come without reservations. Bye.

What the hell? You told us to come!

Make a reservation first.

Reservations first!

Hello? Anyone here?

May I help you?

I found you online.

And?

Want to make a reservation.

Reservation? We're a little selective.

What should I do?

Reservation?

Our restaurant is... a place you'd want to go before you draw your last breath.

I mean we decide the time, day and menu, not you.

So it's difficult. You don't have a story either, right? So please go.

Go ahead.

Come with a good story later. I'll make one up for you if you want.

I'm home.

Why are you so late?

Welcome, my daughter.

I almost died in a plane crash.

You're not even happy to see your sister?

Stand up straight.

There she goes again...

You couldn't get a liver? You didn't?

You idiot. After I spent all the money to send you abroad to meet a guy.

You're going to die in 100 days!

Hey. You didn't buy what I asked for? They don't have it here.

I asked you so many times.

All for yourself. You're so selfish.

I almost died in a plane crash.

It's just one guy. I'll find him. Please wait.

Why are you so impatient?

Do you think I don't know you? Just date any guy. It's just one. Meet anyone!

Okay. He'll come. Just wait. Take it easy.

Things I went through in a badger's cave to give birth to these fools...

Will you close it?

I like this. This is only for humans.

Come here, you!

Do you mind?

He looked so similar.

When was it?

Goryeo dynasty?

You're unusually rushing today.

Probably because I heard a fox with 9 tails appeared in town.

I hope it's not mom or sister.

Don't be scared. I'll kill it with this sword.

Here. My favorite sword.

Stab the fox if you see it.

Do I have to use this?

You wouldn't have to. Because I'll protect you.

Hey, come out!

What is it?

Just come out. C'mon! Hurry!

The search for the missing actress Han Ee-sul is stalling.

The police have searched around her villa but couldn't find any evidence.

According to her close friend Mimi from a popular group, 9 fox,

the last person she met was actor Jun Tae-ho.

He's currently filming abroad and...

What? Shocked now?

Is it really her?

Fool. I told her so many times.

Such a fox. She's no good. I doubt she met any guy.

She had only 3 livers to go, but her time ran out and she vaporized.

You should take note.

I feel so sorry for her.

Worry about yourself.

She barely became human because she was so careless.

After guns were invented, we're on the verge of extinction.

Real love doesn't exist anymore?

It does. Love's everywhere.

It only takes a minute to fall in love these days.

Stop kidding.

She's right. The era when people give their lives for love is over.

True love existed in the Goryeo and Chosun era.

About 800 left?

They shrunk. About 100 by Japanese colonial period.

Double digits by the Korean war.

No one left by 1988 Olympics.

And you're still waiting for a guy who would offer his liver out of love?

Of course. I'm not you.

You're still so deluded. You're so weird.

So frustrating.

Strange. I'm so sensitive.

Must be that time of month.

Price to pay to be a human.

Mom, where are the pain killers?

I don't know.

You girls...

And comb hard when you molt, okay?

Why do you have to bring that up now?

Look at the air. What are you gonna do?

I'm really sad. You had hair once!

I'm too old to clean hair now.

You're having skin problems because of your liver, not allergies.

Get a mud treatment today,

and get herb pack and body care just for a month.

I've heard raving reviews and it's really different.

By the way, your musculoskeletal is twisted.

Get a chiropractic treatment too.

How do you notice it so quickly?

It's my job.

Hey, foxy!

I mean Chief.

There's a cute guy visitor at the lobby.

Alright.

He looks cute.

Thank you.

I'll prepare mud first. Just a moment.

'Mi-jin'

'Raise your pretty face'

'Loov you, Mi-jin'

Min-suk.

Loov you.

What?

Loov you.

Do you know I looked for you everywhere?

Why would you look for me?

And where did you get these flowers? They're all withered.

I came here every day for the last 2 months.

I picked one flower every day. Mi-jin.

What's the matter?

You really don't know?

No.

What's going on?

What kind of... Darn.

It was really tough when you were away.

I've been chasing you. You don't know how I feel?

So are you saying you love me? Don't lie.

So frustrating.

My heart will tell you.

I don't think it's him.

Can you hear my heart?

It's slower than normal.

That's my liver.

Mom. He's so cheesy, my paws were shriveling.

You mean hands, not paws.

All right.

And I like him. He's a rare find.

Don't be so difficult. Just consider his liver.

He's so feminine and doesn't sound sincere.

Sincerity matters.

Sincerity my butt. You're so naive. Move.

Don't you remember?

What?

Mimo's 'Ten by one stroke' incident?

What?

Ten by one stroke!

Da Nang, Vietnam 1969

Clara.

Clara.

Honey.

Honey?

Honey.

It's not me.

Honey.

Well, okay, I'll do him a favor.

Honey.

'Ten by one stroke'

It's not love.

At least I felt his love at that moment.

He didn't love you. He mistook you for his girlfriend.

You foxes don't know how humans are.

Humans are like that.

Love is like merchandise displayed in malls.

That's why men are so confused.

They don't know whether it's love, desire or lust.

This is why love expires sooner.

Did Mimo say that? Why doesn't she get married?

So what?

Just do half of what she does.

You're comparing us again!

Hello, mister.

Is something wrong?

He said he's in a good mood.

This is his good mood face.

He's getting pissed again. Just go.

Did you make a reservation?

I'm sorry.

Why does he play hard to get?

It's the 8th rejection already.

Is this all you could do? You know how I am, right?

I do. You always get what you want.

Bye.

Don't leave the restaurant before you make a reservation, okay?

Okay.

Today, too?

Tomorrow?

Then... never?

Right.

What are you doing?

Till I get it.

What's going on?

He's protesting because we refused his reservation.

Let's talk this out.

Why are you not taking it?

Huh? Because he has no story.

And he upped the ante as I kept refusing. You know I hate that.

You can't buy good memories with money. I'll teach him that.

Come on. You're refusing because he's not a girl.

Gee, you still think of me that way?

Yeah.

Now you understand my policy.

Whatever. He's sleeping. Enjoy your sleep.

My bladder is about to explode.

This owner is no pushover. He already rejected 9 times.

She'll be all over me if I leave.

It won't work. Shall I just go?

No, I can't disappoint Mi-sun.

If this is all that takes to make her happy...

But this is so difficult.

Why are they giving me such a hard time?

This darn restaurant. No, this is her favorite place.

Okay, I'll forgive. I'll forgive everything for someone I love.

I will forgive everything. Bye.

Wait... what does he mean?

Make up a nice story next time.

Do you remember me?

Oh, you.

I clearly said no last time.

Look. We can't...

Sir.

My girlfriend has only 3 months to live.

Please help me.

Look.

Sir...

Why don't you eat before you go?

I don't deserve to eat.

What's their excuse?

I don't know. It's not clear.

Even if we pay more?

No.

Are you thinking this will make me feel better?

Why are you ironing socks?

It makes you feel good.

I'm not feeling good. I'm feeling lousy!

Secretary Park, I mean Mr. Park Jung-hak.

If you have time to iron socks, go make the reservation.

Yes, ma'am.

Ma'am. I already forgave everything.

What are you talking about?

Look at the nostrils. You got mad and forgave by yourself.

Am I right? I caught you. So petty.

Hey, mister. You seem to be in a good mood.

What's wrong?

He's such a crybaby.

He cried?

Yeah. The sunglasses won't hide it

Strange. He looks happy.

Episode 2

Love is passion, not a game.--

Here, for you.

What's with the secretary? Did you make him cry again?

I don't know.

Mom! I said raw. It's overcooked. Geez.

You scare me whenever you say that. Don't you want to be human?

Switch mine. When are you gonna listen?

So disgusting.

Starving.

Ah, right. Why is the restaurant so difficult?

Couldn't they cut Mr. Park some slack?

They pick their customers. It's humiliating.

They only have one table, and the owner picks the menu, too.

Nonsense.

How charming. I'm tempted. Shall I go?

I'm good with young men. They can't resist me, you know.

You're a real fox. You're human now, and you still hit on anyone?

Act like a human now, okay?

What's wrong with exploring my options?

Do you even know how humans love?

Mom, if I become human, I'll only love one man.

What do you think?

Loyal, huh?

Talk to me after you become human.

Are you laughing at me?

What is this? He's such a weirdo.

What is it?

I don't know. Let's see.

What is it?

Do you know what it is? Look at these pictures.

Are you slow or just old?

Why?

Look closely.

A. I. Shi. Te. Ru.

Aishiteru? What's that?

It's 'I love you' in Japanese.

He's cute and smart as well. I like it when guys do this.

Mom, it was in a movie.

It was on the post-it last time, and this is quite a sight too.

Mom. Do you think he really loves me? I don't know.

I can't feel it.

Try to feel it.

Yeah, stupid. Make him yours. He's head over heels.

Is he your 1,000th man?

Drum roll...

Another text.

'I'll pick you up at 1pm tomorrow! Wait!'

I feel bad for the couple.

Huh?

Only 3 months to live. They must be real sad.

Depends on the perspective. How you live matters more.

You're so sympathetic.

Well, many people do live an unfulfilling life.

Let's leave them good memories with a perfect dish.

And finish it with digestif.

Good idea.

Ma'am, salmon please.

We don't have any.

You only have crabs? Let's go somewhere else.

Thank you.

Whoa, it smells good.

Good timing. Try it.

I'm sure you did well.

Come on.

Don't you know cooks are most nervous...

...and also the happiest when someone tastes his dish?

Okay.

How is it?

Is this too bland?

Yeah.

Hmm? Aren't you supposed to have perfect taste?

I'm not that good.

This reminds me of the French cooking school.

It was the soup. Such a difficult test.

I only passed it because you tasted it behind the professor's back.

Of course I would've passed it on my own.

I didn't do anything. It was all you.

That's right.

'Salt'

What time is it?

Huh?

You still have plenty. Take your time.

What a surprise.

I didn't know I'd be this nervous.

Mi-jin.

I... I don't have much, but I want to be a supporting actor in your life.

Will you be the star in my life?

Tada.

Hey. Hey.

If you survive, will you tell my mom I really wanted to be human...

Human...

You work here?

This is our master chef, Pierre Suk.

Enjoy your dinner.

This is aperitif. It'll enhance your appetite before meals.

This is the entree.

It'll stimulate salivary gland so that you can enjoy the food better.

This is soup.

Poisson. Snapper with white wine sauce.

Today's main dish, plat principal.

This is boeuf. Premium sirloin steak.

We leave you alone to enjoy the main dish by yourselves.

Enjoy yourselves and if you need me, use this clochette please.

Thank you.

My girlfriend has only 3 months to live.

So nice.

But it's weird.

What is?

Doesn't he look too happy for someone whose girlfriend has only 3 months?

There's no time limit for love.

You don't even let any girl near you. What do you know?

You're right.

She said she wanted to be human. It was because of her boyfriend.

What are you muttering about?

Nothing.

Well... I have something to tell you. Will you hear it?

Of course.

Do you love me a lot?

My heart will tell you.

Not necessary.

You know... I mean... I have 3 months.

What?

I might disappear after 3 months.

What are you talking about?

Come on, that's not a good joke for this joyous day.

Come on.

Really?

Fine! I'll save you. I will save you no matter what.

Shall we order dessert?

Mi-jin.

You know... There is a way to save me.

Really? What is it?

Tell me. I'll do anything. I will.

You know...

I need a liver.

Liver?

Yeah.

What liver? Pig liver?

Yours.

Liver?

Yeah.

My liver?

Leave it. I'll clean it.

Where's the restroom?

Restroom? Over there.

No, no. Can I smoke?

I'm sorry. Only outside.

Mi-jin. Excuse me.

Hello? It's me.

Big news. You know the girl I told you about?

The one I was gonna propose.

Holy cow.

I should have listened to you.

What?

It's not that. She said she needed my liver.

She wants my liver. Liver transplant!

I don't know. Maybe liver cancer.

Her skin didn't look too good from the beginning.

She wants my liver as a wedding gift.

Are you laughing? Is this funny?

I'm about to cry here!

Hey, it's raining. I'll call later.

Where did she go?

She left a while ago.

Really? How much is it?

She already paid.

What is this?

A conscientious girl, huh?

She all of a sudden said she had only 3 months to live.

But you knew that.

Huh? Yeah, I did know.

But it was all the more confounding to hear it from her.

Bye.

Do you love me?

Of course I do!

Can you give me your liver?

Gall bladder and heart on top of that. Take everything.

Thank you. You're my 1,000th man.

You're welcome. You've been around, huh?

I found him.

Good.

Help me!

You said you loved me. You said so.

You said you love me.

Rest now.

Are you going on a date?

This isn't time to date.

Don't be so dramatic.

Date costs money.

So you won't date because of money?

Then date without spending.

Date without spending. It's impossible. See you tomorrow.

Geez.

Goodness. How did you get in?

Give me a drink.

We're closed.

Don't be so difficult. Drink please?

The problem was cirrhosis of the liver.

They don't take care of their liver.

We can't eat that.

I've been so tired since I became human.

Maybe it's my liver.

You're supposed to be tired now.

Why isn't she home yet?

Did something happen?

Maybe?

Did she finally succeed?

How nice.

How can a guy go back on his words?

Can you drink this much?

Sister Jini was right. Cute guys have a crappy mind.

She always had sharp eyes for men.

Sister Jini?

Don't you know Hwang Jini? Who seduced Suh Kyung-duk.

Please go now. Give me.

Remember there used to be men who gave their lives for love.

They could feel true love just by looking at each other,

without useless setups like these days.

Love is passion with no regrets, not a game.

That's awesome. Love is passion with no regrets.

Are there men like that these days? What about you?

Please go now.

Come on. I want to talk with you!

I want to tell you everything, all my secrets.

Why are you pushing me away?

Come again whenever you want to talk.

Forget it. You'll kick me out again.

Fine. Then.

VVIP. You are...

Ku Mi-jin.

'VVIP Ku Mi-jin'

So what?

Come when you want to talk.

Let's talk today.

It's late. Go now.

Have you seen Secretary Park?

He won't take calls and I haven't seen him all day.

I guess he failed again.

Still he should tell me. Does hiding solve anything?

Look at that. Look at that mess.

Hey. Hey!

Tail.

I forgot to squeeze my tummy. Geez.

'Director Ku Mi-sun'

Why don't you advertise you're a fox?

I drank too much yesterday.

Yeah and to gain nothing.

Where on earth is he?

He's nearby.

Where?

It smells sour.

Where is this?

It's the smell of the restaurant I went to yesterday.

Hush. Be careful in public.

It's so hard!

You...

You really can't?

You're so stubborn. No.

I beg you.

I said no. So tired.

Must be hard. Heart hurts and tummy too.

Go home.

It's your birthday. I'll go home after dinner.

In that condition?

Yeah. I made a reservation at a nice restaurant.

You did?

Yeah.

You know she's particular.

I know better than you do.

What brings you...

Mom's birthday is today. So I brought everyone.

'VVIP Ku Mi-jin'

Hello.

I'm Kim Eung-suk, the owner of Restaurant Last.

I see.

Nice to meet you. Your mother is a beauty.

I'm the master chef, Pierre Suh.

I like the way you talk.

I heard it's hard to get a seat here. How did you do it?

Is this the restaurant?

It is.

This owner said I could come any time.

Right? Look at this. VVIP. Let's sit.

Yes, she's right. Come in.

This way, ma'am.

Here.

Did you say you're the owner?

Yes. Nice to meet you.

Do you want to go out with me?

Huh?

He said he only likes sexy women...

That's why you have a chance.

You don't do anything besides meeting guys?

- Yeah. - Pretty girl.

Do you want to date Mijin?

Oh no...

Where's your pride?

Yeah. I feel bad.

It's over when there's no meaning to life.

I have to meet a guy in order to survive.

Mijin!

What do you want?

Then you can show me.

Catch me if you can!

We're dating, right?

He's finally here! The 1000th man!
