[Patient List]

[Jang Mi Soon]

Parcel delivery!

Here, give it to me.

It is heavy, so...

All right.

I'm going to die...

When I realized that,

the person I wanted to see the most

Please...

Please come back!

Come back, Professor!

Dr. Han...

Are you all right?

Where...

is this place?

What's wrong, Kokdu?

Does your head hurt, and you feel dizzy again?

I'm sorry, Kokdu.

I felt so pressed for time

so I said something I shouldn't have again...

Who is Kokdu?

Why do you call me that?

Do...

Professor Do?

I mean, why...

am I in an operating room?

I mean,

why is there a patient left alone there?

What aren't people in a hurry to perform the surgery?

Someone set a fire in the ER,

and everyone evacuated because there was the possibility of the oxygen tanks exploding.

Still, how could you neglect a patient like this?

Are you telling the patient to just die?

Are people in their right minds or not?

Who's in charge?

Is it Professor Park Seong Eun?

- Or Professor Kim Tae Hyung? - Why?

What are you going to do if you find out?

What do you mean? Of course, we should have them come in!

Look around carefully.

This is not Seoul Pilseong Hospital, but Yeongpo Pilseong Hospital.

And you are no longer the Strategic Planning Director, either, Professor.

They won't come just because you call them.

What do you mean by all that?

Well, in any case,

the patient ended up in this critical state,

and I temporarily flipped out

- and thought about performing surgery myself... - Wait, Dr. Han.

You're an ER doctor, so you wouldn't have experience performing surgeries.

Well... yes...

Then, you were putting on a bravado with a patient on the line?

So, that's why I told you that I flipped out for a moment.

I mean, why are you yelling at me...

Just stay here. I'll go call someone.

I don't think there is enough time for that.

Dr. Han, you've assisted a surgery before, right?

Yes. Why?

We can't let a patient die in a hospital.

I'll do the surgery.

Scalpel.

Suction.

Retractor.

Take it out.

Professor, the mother's blood pressure...

The child comes first.

I got the baby.

At three, I'm going to pull. Push down firmly.

One, two, three!

The baby's breathing and heartbeat are normal.

Dr. Han, help me.

Who are you guys!

- What are you guys doing! - Dr. Han!

Doctor, take the baby, please.

Okay.

The mother's blood pressure

is normal.

Professor, your hand...

It's nothing. It's a minor cut.

What were you doing, Professor Choi?

Your patient almost died.

As you probably know, Strategic Planning Director,

it was such an urgent situation...

No matter how urgent, isn't it a protocol to check the operating rooms first?

We've emphasized emergency situation protocol so much,

and yet you haven't learned to implement it?

Professor, you shouldn't be doing this here...

I mean, did you properly go through the 12-hour mandatory training?

How could people who have gone through it act like this-

Wait, what...

What are you doing?

Will you keep nagging just because your memory came back?

What's this...

I thought being a director was a position, but is it an illness?

Director Syndrome?

This has been bothering me before,

but Dr. Han...

why do you keep treating me so harshly?

Are you going to say I'm the first woman to ever treat you like this?

It is true that you are the first.

When we met again in Yeongpo, I grabbed you and threw you on the ground.

I guess that doesn't even count as acting harshly against you.

Yeongpo?

Why are you saying that we met at Yeongpo?

That's because...

you, Professor...

fled to Yeongpo after crossing through Cheonghak-dong.

What do you mean? What about Cheonghak-dong,

and why would I flee to Yeongpo?

It seems like he still does have a fever...

I mean,

why do you touch me so freely?

You're right...

I've been touching, treating, and speaking to you carelessly...

It's quite a dilemma as to know whether it's my words

or my hands are the problem...

Professor...

From what moment do you not remember?

I mean...

Up to which part do you remember?

I remember up to the day I was supposed to go to court with you, Dr. Han...

Wait...

What's today's date?

September-

September 23rd?

Is this true?

Is this correct?

Wait, then...

have I been lying in this hospital for 40 days?

You don't remember being Kokdu?

Really?

You really don't remember any of it?

Master Kokdu!

Kokdu... Master Kokdu!

What happened!

You're here early!

What!

Why didn't you two just enjoy your time together and come back after the 99 days are up?

Gosh, I should have just cut off their limbs and used them as pillars of Jeondeungsa Temple.

It would have been great to make a donation and do a good deed as well.

How could you say something like a motherfucker?* (His vague pronunciation sounds like a cuss word or the word "family")

Did you just curse at me?

L-Like a family. Like a family, you know?

How dare you look down on me.

Do you find me pathetic because I ended up like this because of a mere human?

Come at me! Shall I...

Shall I show you the vigor of a Goryeo warrior?

Master Kokdu, Master Kokdu! Come on, Master Kokdu!

Is now the time to be discussing one's vigor?

Then what shall we discuss?

You're right! Shall we discuss love confessions instead?

Confession?

You said if I act like Do Jin Woo, I can get her to confess her love to me.

For Do Jin Woo, it was 'go.' And for me, it was 'back.'

Was this the go-back* that you guys were talking about? (Sounds like Korean for confession)

Who would have known that Han Gye Jeol could bring Do Jin Woo back from the dead?

Master Kokdu, since you still have about 50 days left,

- if we do something in that time- - I've got 7 days.

What? You can't even do math now?

If forty-something days passed out of 99 days,

- then 99 minus 40 is- - Shut up!

Since it's been exactly 42 days since Do Jin Woo died,

so I've got seven days left!

What is he talking about?

A spirit can only stay alive for 49 days.

That would be the same for Do Jin Woo.

What will happen when Do Jin Woo completes his 49 days?

His spirit will depart, and his spiritless body will start to decay.

Even if I were to have 50 days, what good would it do me to enter that decaying body?

My eyes will fall out, and I'll have maggots all over my body,

but should I go and beg her to please love me?

That means...

I won't be able to die

in this life.

Gosh...

I suppose you're right.

Since Do Jin Woo came back,

there's no reason for Han Gye Jeol to look for you, Master Kokdu.

I suppose Master Kokdu would have to wait another 99 years.

Why?

Are you glad I got what I deserved?

No way.

Master Kokdu.

This time around, you must trust me completely!

I, Ok Shin, will do whatever I need to do

in order to make Han Gye Jeol call Do Jin Woo...

I mean, call Master Kokdu back-

I'll make sure she does that!

How could I trust a bonehead like you?

Gosh, my bad luck...

My bad luck!

Aigoo...

- If you lie on the ground like that... - Shut up!

Whoa, why are you doing this!

Gosh...

Thank you.

How come you became such a different person

from just having your memory fixed?

Excuse me?

Even your sitting posture is different.

Kokdu...

would be slouching all over the place.

Did I really...

call myself Kokdu

or Kokdugakshi* (Means puppet in Korean)

Nope. It's not Kokdugakshi but Kokdu.

Look, you wrote that yourself, Professor.

[Kokdu]

Kokdu...

But what exactly is that?

He's the only guide on the path to the afterlife.

Is he something like Grim Reaper?

How could you say Grim Reaper!

He's like the undefeated king of the path to the afterlife-

I'm sorry. I got so brainwashed by that Kokdu...

But why did I insist that I was Kokdu when I didn't even know him very well?

Well...

I don't know to that level.

After that,

I gave you this hospital and wouldn't let you go elsewhere?

No way...

I mean, how could someone with no memory set up a hospital like this?

- Well, that... - You set up a hospital with money, of course.

I don't have my memories, but I do have a lot of money.

You don't set up a hospital with your memories.

You set it up with the money.

Although you didn't have your memories, you had a lot of money, Professor.

Last time, you even showered me with money.

You don't remember it?

Gosh...

I should have really collected a whole bunch then...

That makes no sense.

If I had that type of money,

would I have hired you at Pilseong Hospital?

I would have offered to give you a hospital upfront for testifying for me.

Well, I suppose you're right.

It's probably because of your birth secret

you didn't know then, but you know now.

My birth... what?

The birth secret that supposedly every chaebol family has.

You know the top ten most wealthy family in South Korea, the Boolhwa Group, right?

It turns out you're from that family, Professor.

Supposedly, Chairman Lee Eung Chool hid that fact because he was afraid that his already failing stocks

would drop even further due to embarrassing news getting out.

- Dr. Han. - Yes.

Did you also fall with me?

Fall? Me? From where?

I mean, you didn't seem normal...

This guy, seriously!

W-Well, won't it be clear if you take a look, no?

W-Why are you taking my phone?

Chairman Lee Eung Chool should be here somewhere...

I-It should be here...

[010-0190-3824 (Rude Wench)]

I mean... why did I...

save Jung Won's number as this?

Well, that's because Kokdu has a good eye for people.

I mean...

It's probably best that you don't call Jung Won for the time being.

She will probably be really angry right now.

You won't hear anything good from her right now.

While you were not yourself, Professor,

something took place between you two that made things like that.

I will be the one to judge whether I should call her or not.

It's none of your concern, Dr. Han.

I'm grateful for your help,

but I would like for you to maintain your boundaries.

This is...

I can't believe this.

- Excuse me? - I mean,

I gave you dinner,

a bed, a blanket, and a humidifier.

You made me concern myself with you whenever you needed me,

and now you're telling me it's none of my business?

What kind of shitty manner is that?

- What do you mean, shitty... - And what was that...

Boundaries?

And setting boundaries by yourself and getting angry like this

is actually really impolite!

I am sorry that I am indebted to you.

And you're not sorry about other stuff?

If it was something I would be sorry about later,

I wouldn't have done it from the start.

Professor...

Were you always like this?

Excuse me?

Yeah...

You were always like this...

You don't say things you don't mean, and it's impossible to read how you really feel.

Professor Do, you were always this type of person, right?

I should be asking you. Were you always this kind of person?

Me?

Believing in nonsense and getting angry easily,

and saying things in your heart so blatantly...

I didn't know you were like this.

I am that type of person...

In front of Kokdu...

It's so cool...

Yeah. [Do Jin Woo: Graduated from Johns Hopkins University...]

[Do Jin Woo: Graduated from Johns Hopkins University...]

He's the one I was waiting for.

This place was prepared for this man.

It's right, but...

The king of the path to the afterlife...

Did you go home after a short picnic?

You should have at least said goodbye before you left...

Master Kokdu.

Master Kokdu, you see me, right?

This is a mirror made with a magical self-beating drum during the Goguryeo Period.

It was a mirror made to show national disasters,

but we're just using it like a CCTV here.

Why would such a treasure be in your hands?

Who do you think you are, Princess Nak Rang?

Master Kokdu,

because there is only one of these in the world,

you must never break this.

You got that, Master Kokdu?

Kokdu?

Do Jin Woo...

why are you here?

Do you know me as well?

How could I not know you when you are our landlord?

I'm Seo Bok Gyeong.

I'm Do Jin Woo.

But did you do some modeling?

- You have good posture. - Model, my foot.

Why is she talking nonsense!

Are you saying that good compared to Kokdu?

How do you know Master Kokdu?

By chance,

do you remember things about him?

Dr. Han told me

that I've lived as Kokdu for over 40 days.

I see.

But by chance...

have we ever met before?

Have we ever met?

I've seen you many times before, Do Jin Woo.

I saw you 99 years ago,

198 years ago,

and even 297 years ago as well.

But this is the first time meeting Do Jin Woo, who's trying to charm me.

I'm not trying to charm you. It's a fact.

I even remember where I saw you.

Really?

Where did you dare see me?

Han Gye Jeol...

Han Gye Jeol.

Did you two get acquainted?

First, I must meet Jung Won.

I thought all night about why I came to Yeongpo,

I think it's because of Jung Won.

I probably came here to apologize to her for something.

I don't know if it'll work because I've lost more than 40 days of time,

but I must at least try.

There is no such thing as lost time

in this world.

In the time that you've considered as lost,

there were people,

feelings,

and promises.

Are you telling me that

I promised my heart to someone?

I'm sorry.

What are you sorry about?

Did you pursue me because you weren't in your right mind,

or did you turn your back on me because you're back in your right mind?

I've made a big mistake without meaning to.

Yes.

You're making mistakes with your words without meaning to.

Never mind.

Since you're screwing someone over, is it ludicrous words?

No. You're harming my mental health, so it's abusive words!

Why do I only remember things like this...

So annoying...

I'm telling you this so you'll only make

mistakes with me.

Excuse me?

Tae Jung Won knows about it too.

And that's why Jung Won...

I'm sorry.

That's why you shouldn't have wanted someone like Do Jin Woo...

Han Gye Jeol?

Can you hear me?

Huh?

There's no way...

Gosh.

Ms. Kim Yang Ja, I heard from Captain Baek.

Go inside and start by washing the dishes.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you!

We don't even have any customers. Why do we need a part-timer?

Captain Baek kept begging me, saying his niece-in-law was starving,

so how could I just ignore it?

I heard she has nowhere to go if not here.

We'll be blessed if we let her work here.

You should come and sit here.

What is it now?

Come on, take a seat here.

Wow. They say you won't get serious illnesses if you just get some sun like this.

You've practically become a doctor after getting sick once.

It's Mr. Johns Hopkins.

Doctors must have it so good.

They probably get health exams for cheap, right?

Mr. Johns Hopkins! Mr. Johns Hopkins?

Mr. Johns Hopkins.

Are you talking to me?

I think you got the wrong person.

I'm saying this because I've been hurting all over these days-

I'm not interested.

About what?

Whether it's a jade mat or an ancestral god, I'm not interested.

Jade mat? Ancestral god?

Honey, Honey. I just got looked down upon, right?

What a rude bastard!

How dare you look down on Shin Hong Geun's woman!

Aigoo,

just let him be. No need to start a fight.

You said we're through already.

You told me to just accept it.

So I accepted it. Why do you keep calling me?

Oppa, am I that...

easy to you?

I don't know how I might sound to you,

but I feel like Alice in Wonderland.

The world is no longer the world I knew,

and the people are not the same, either.

Not one person thinks or speaks normally.

I want to leave this twisted world.

Please help me.

Where are you, Oppa?

I will be there soon.

Please wait just a bit.

He's weird.

He's really weird.

What's this...

Is it schizophrenia?

Yeah, it could be that.

I should get him examined as soon as he comes.

Mr. Yoo Ah In?

I'm Detective Han Cheol.

How could a policeman be so stupid?

I'm worried for the safety of civilians.

What?

Either you can't remember you lost at working out,

or that you agreed not to come visit me if you lost.

Either way, since you can't remember, you've come again.

Or all of that investigation BS is an excuse to see me.

How could a doctor be so stupid?

- I fear for your patients' health. - What?

I'm sure I told you you're not pretty enough to attract my attention.

Aren't you being delusional again because you can't remember that?

I'm sure I said I was not interested in catching the culprit, either.

You will have to take an interest since I'm not here for your cooperation.

On the day Choi Kang Mo died, was the person you saw Professor Do?

Jin Woo oppa...

No. That makes no sense.

Things will start making sense when you see this picture.

- What's this? - The car that the culprit abandoned.

It was found at the crime scene.

It's Professor Do Jin Woo, right?

So are you suspecting Professor Do as a murderer?

Yes.

Why would a doctor in his right mind kill someone?

I'll know if he's in his right mind when I see him,

and we'll find out his murder motive once we investigate.

Are you being serious?

Are you close to Professor Do?

Is that why you pretended not to know?

Where is he right now?

- I don't know. - Article 151 (1) of the Criminal Code.

A person who helps a criminal hide or flee

shall be punished by up to three years in prison or a fine of up to 5 million won.

If you protect him because you are close to him, you could also become a criminal.

I will be there soon. Please wait just a bit.

I haven't seen him for a while, either,

so I'll have to ask around.

But it's not like I can ask here.

Let's go outside and talk.

Oppa...

Who are...

Professor Do.

[Arrest Warrant] You are under arrest for the murder of Choi Kang Mo.

What?

His name was Choi Kang Mo, and he was 38 years old.

I know from meeting him,

but he's an evil bastard who doesn't even deserve to be called a victim.

Since he adopted a kid, abused her, and tried to kill her.

If you think about it like that, there are a ton of evil bastards in the world.

So why would I need to kill him?

I saw that you were adopted as well.

[Adoption record]

Didn't you empathize with the child as someone who was also adopted?

Maybe you felt bad that you couldn't do anything

as a powerless child was dying.

So are you saying I got revenge for her?

Does that make any sense?

There are more instances when a murder motive doesn't make sense than when it does.

There was a guy who killed his own family for laughing when he was unhappy.

There was a grandfather who set fire to a bank for opening late.

And there was also a young lady who beat up an innocent man for resembling her ex-boyfriend.

When you see all sorts of cases like that,

I start to think that there is nothing that's nonsensical in this world.

If you're a policeman, then stop writing novels

and show me the evidence.

Evidence?

So you like things like that, I see.

The crime took place at 9:39 p.m.,

and this is the car that fled from the hospital five minutes later.

The driver...

was you, Do Jin Woo, right?

This is a picture taken from the rear by CCTV at the crime scene.

The attire matches up exactly, right?

You killed Choi Kang Mo, right?

I don't know.

I was in an accident where I fell from a building around 40 days ago,

and I have no memories after that.

Do you think this is a hearing room?

Do you think we'll just let you off if you say things like

"I never went there, I didn't kill him, I don't know anything"?

I really don't remember anything.

Mother?

Please...

Please come back!

Please come back, Professor!

He's definitely not in good condition.

Hey,

don't you think he might claim weakness of mind and body?

Well, he doesn't seem like he will right away.

He's probably thinking about who can help him right now.

Do whatever it takes to remember it!

I don't remember any of it! None of it...

[Contacts]

[Han Gye Jeol]

Okay, so who is your accomplice?

Please call Chairman Lee Eung Chool of Boolhwa Group.

Boolhwa Group?

[Boolhwa Group Director of Legal Affairs, Byun Chang Woo]

It's been decided that he be released after reviewing the legality of the arrest.

I will take Mr. Do Jin Woo with me.

Are you telling me that the courts accepted the request for release? Why?

You said that he fled the hospital at 9:44 p.m.

This is a CCTV that's 25 km away from the crime scene,

but the time recorded here is 9:46 p.m.

There's nobody who could travel 25 km in two minutes.

No way...

Gosh... Goodness.

If he can teleport,

then would it not be possible?

Then, why don't you

tell the judge that? Let's go.

Mr. Do Jin Woo.

What's your relationship with Boolhwa Group?

I'll have to look into that myself.

How did you manage to come to find me, Jin Woo?

Dr. Han told me

that I had a family secret.

Yeah, there was a family secret.

What other secrets do I need to know about?

That Kokdu is the real murderer?

Your words are quite...

A murderer in our family? Did something happen to your brain?

Supposedly, I got arrested under charges of murder,

and yet you didn't seem one bit surprised, Chairman...

as if you knew at least that much already.

I was surprised!

I was so surprised.

I was so surprised that my mind went blank, and I couldn't think of anything.

It is only now that I've recovered a bit.

Your response was way too swift for someone who was completely at a loss.

As if you'd already prepared that sort of evidence in advance.

I have no plans to take the blame for what Kokdu has done.

I will keep your secret,

so I would hope you keep protecting me.

You...

keep denying it because you don't remember it,

but Kokdu? You were Kokdu!

Why do you keep talking about it as if it's someone else!

I'm very scared of dogs.

I was bitten once when I was young.

I can't even imagine getting this close to a dog.

I've told Dr. Han this before.

It appears you haven't heard up to that.

Your memories have changed.

Your personality has also changed.

So your preferences can also change.

A human brain that has completed its development hates learning new things,

because it requires a lot of energy to create new neurons.

And so, a habit or a preference that's become established

is difficult to change no matter how much you want to.

Gosh, okay, you're so smart.

Okay, okay, let's say that you're not Kokdu.

Then, who is Kokdu then?

Is he your doppelgänger? Your evil twin?

That's all things that come out in dramas!

One thing's for sure. He's not human.

What?

Just like you.

You bastard.

How could you tell this hyungnim that I'm not human?

- Your words are quite harsh! - Apart from that,

there's no other way to explain the tinkling bell sounds

that I hear from you.

The same bell tinkling sounds...

I've heard it before.

It was right before I died.

D-Die? H-How did you...

W-What do you mean by that?

So it appears I did indeed die.

Aigoo...

H-Hey...

By chance, do you remember anything?

Meeting my mother on that dry road...

I thought it was just a nightmare,

but I suppose it was my memory.

[Here I Come Running Clinic]

Every living thing heals by itself.

If you are unable to heal yourself,

it is probably another sign of death.

What?

Who's he talking to?

That guy is really out of his mind.

Shut up!

You got your identity found out. Why are you talking as if you did something right!

And why did you bring popcorn here and crunch on it while blocking the view with your big head!

I can't see the mirror at all!

- It's good. - You eat it!

As expected,

are you watching from there?

Kokdu.

I don't know why

the god of the afterlife entered my dead body,

or what you were trying to do in this world.

I just know that there was one person you wanted to keep by your side...

Look at this bastard...

even if it required you to shower her with money

and watched her from the afterlife because you couldn't let her go.

It's Han Gye Jeol.

But oh, well.

I don't think I'll be able to give up on Han Gye Jeol, either.

What?

My memories of endlessly walking down the dry path of the afterlife

always ended with Dr. Han's voice.

Her voice telling me to return

awoke me from my long slumber.

And so, as long as I have Dr. Han by my side...

as long as

she will call on me,

I'm convinced that I will no longer return to that strange world.

All humans have their set life span, and that was the time for you to die.

Even if you were to avoid it for a moment, you will eventually die.

So you should let things happen according to nature.

When I found out that I was going to soon die,

do you know who I wanted to see the most?

It wasn't my mother or my lover...

Surprisingly, it was me.

It was me in the distant future

who would have married, had kids,

and showered love on my grandkids

with my wrinkled hands.

That's when I realized

that I...

that I...

really wanted to live.

The moment that people's love of life becomes an obsession,

they become unhappy.

Love, fame, and belief...

All of the things that make someone human end up drying up if you do so.

What form of happiness would you have in a world that is no different from the dry and barren afterlife?

So just give up...

for your sake.

I will...

survive, no matter what it takes.

I will survive no matter what,

even if it means keeping Dr. Han by my side as a talisman!

Who are you calling a talisman!

Do you think you will be safe after coveting the woman of the god of the afterlife?

Han Gye Jeol will never search for you again.

She will only look at me,

and only call on me.

I will make her like that.

[Here I Come Running Clinic]

What's this...

Did you know too?

Did you allow this?

W-What happened to the desk that was here?

I sent it to the used goods store.

Why would you do that for something so hip and fine?

I don't know if it's hip or not,

but it was definitely not fine.

And it's not my preference, either.

Regardless of whether it's your preference or not, it wasn't your seat.

- So why would you get rid of it? - If it isn't my seat, then whose is it?

It is Master Kokdu's.

You probably already know that very well.

Not anymore.

Since Kokdu has returned.

I'm sure you know that very well.

Hey.

Did you forget about how much Master Kokdu loved that desk?

That guy who would only wear luxury brand clothing

said that the ugly design was hip.

And he placed stickers with his name

all over the desk shamelessly.

Do you know how much he loved that desk because you gave it to him?

But how could you let him get rid of it like that?

It breaks my heart, even as a bystander.

Kokdu...

What's wrong with my desk?

I'm happy with it. It's very hip.

That desk has many treasured memories,

so I'm a bit sad too.

But in the end, it's Professor Do's seat,

so what can I do if he says he will change it.

In the end,

it's Professor Do's seat?

Is that really so?

In your heart, there was not even a bit of space for Master Kokdu?

He was someone who would give you everything

at just one word from you without being able to resist.

He's the only one who would get revenge for you!

You didn't just remove one desk.

You removed Kokdu's place in your heart.

Because you were swayed

by that dead spirit.

Nurse Seo.

This is a job and a workplace.

Dr. Han and I are your bosses.

- It's uncomfortable when you speak so informally to us. - Too bad.

I've lived thousands of years, so I've forgotten how to use honorifics.

If you really don't like it, then fire me. Never mind.

I'll quit first. I'm out.

Wait, wait!

Nurse Seo, I swear, but I have a different opinion than the Professor.

I mean, how good is it to be referred to informally?

Please understand him.

It's because he's an Americanized old fogey.

He doesn't know our beautiful Korean language well.

Okay.

I"ll hold myself back for your sake.

But I just can't stand his face.

I'll go outside and train a bit.

Oh, yes, sure!

We have no house calls today anyway.

Do Jin Woo, you've made a big mistake.

Since I've made up my mind to kick you out,

and bring back Kokdu's seat.

Please understand her.

She's being like that because she's shocked by your change.

Although you two fought often

while you were Kokdu, Professor,

you guys had a pretty good relationship.

Is there a need for you to try retaining Nurse Seo?

Judging from how she's treating you or me, it doesn't look like she'll be good with patients.

We'll have to grow our hospital in the future,

- so how about we hire someone better- - They say a frog doesn't remember his tadpole days...

You really don't remember when you were Kokdu.

- Excuse me? - When you were Kokdu, Professor,

you complained about nothing, whether it be the small size of the clinic,

lack of skills or someone lazy.

I was sorry that someone so great would be happy with so little.

But how shall I describe you now, Professor...

you're just a professor at Pilseong Hospital.

It must seem like you can't see those who live down below because you've only lived in high places.

It's natural for people to be lacking in some areas.

How could you first think to switch her just because you're not happy with her?

That's not it...

Also, it's the same with this desk too.

If you were going to change it, you should have asked first.

You've never had your desk taken away from you, right?

You've never had your place disappear in a day, right?

For me, I've had that experience many times.

So, I'm really sensitive about people removing desks!

I will fill that space.

Why do you keep obsessing over places that are already gone?

Isn't that why

you can't see the new person on the spot?

It came here on quite a journey.

Do you have an interest in getting to know the value of this seat?

Gosh.

Gosh, seriously!

Am I a devoted wife or something?

Who is Kokdu that you would get mad like that?

He probably didn't even get used to everything.

The Professor must've been so taken aback.

You idiot!

Thank you.

- Hey... - I don't know what Kokdu was like to you,

but he's like Pandora's box for me.

I don't know what monsters might pop out from it,

so it was honestly scary for me

to have to keep opening the lid.

So, while trying to close the lid by force,

I ended up causing you trouble.

I'm sorry.

Oh, gosh, no...

I'm sorrier.

I can understand how you feel, Professor.

I felt the same way after I have a drink.

My friends would suddenly get angry when they saw me,

and all the neighborhood dogs would poop in front of our house.

I get curious about what I might have done,

but I don't want to face the truth that I cannot handle.

- Yeah. - But...

why would the dogs poop in front of your house?

Don't you know about marking territory?

"This house is my house. This person is my human..." Something like that.

Dogs always like to leave a mark like that.

They don't know how to be coy.

Dogs must have it so easy.

Since they're not coy and can mark their territories easily.

Why? Do you have a place to mark as your territory?

W-Well, s-shall we...

get up now?

Well...

M-My intestines...

really have no shame as well...

Right, did you make up with Jung Won?

There isn't anything for us to make up for.

Our relationship was already over. I just couldn't remember it.

I don't know if the relationship is over,

but it was clear that you both still had feelings.

It's probably the traces that are left.

Anything that stays a moment leaves a trace.

But just because there is a trace of a bus that passed by,

you can't say that there's a bus there.

I think people's hearts are the same way.

I didn't know this before,

but Professor,

you are quite philosophical.

I thought about whether I should major in medical ethics.

For that, philosophy is foundational, so...

Oh, I see...

Can't we go somewhere else?

Why? You like the pork belly here, Professor.

The smell here is so...

What smell?

I tried to hold back, but what did you say in front of someone's business?

The smell is what?

I told you many times we shouldn't help out black-haired beasts.

We gave you everything we had...

Was it all for this?

Wait, wait, this must be a misunderstanding.

T-The Professor got enteritis,

so his insides are just completely messed up right now.

His insides are completely messed up?

You said it right.

Mr. Johns Hopkins

isn't human inside.

I tried to get a consultation because I wasn't feeling well,

but what did you say about jade mats?

Ancestral god, ancestral god!

Right, I was upset enough about the jade mat but ancestral god?

I'm a Christian by birth!

How do I look like I'd be telling people to join a cult!

This is all because you're looking down on me because I'm poor, right?

Mr. Johns Hopkins?

Mr. Johns Hopkins?

Whether it's a jade mat, or an ancestral god, I'm not interested.

I... I...

Iced Americano?

What, are you ordering a coffee somewhere?

Is that all you have to say to me?

You guys...

Your days doing business here in Yeongpo are finished!

Just because I, Shin Hong Geun, have lots of affection,

it appears you saw me as soft as the insides of an overripe peach,

- but I'm not that type of person! - That's right!

When my husband gets a grudge, it lasts a very long time!

Oh, gosh! What was bothering you, Unni?

My shoulders are bunched up, and my legs ache.

Everyone goes through that when they grow old.

Oh, if you go inside, I'll take a look at you.

Will it be enough for you to just use your stethoscope?

You should also do a blood and urine test...

You should do it systematically!

O-Oh,

things like that?

Well, then if you come to the clinic later...

No.

What?

Please read the atmosphere a bit.

Since you both are older in age, just a blood or urine test won't do.

You should also get an X-ray and an ultrasound done.

Maybe it's because you're American. But you're full of capitalism, aren't you!

He's seeing us as suckers!

- Do you know how much all of that is? - I will...

provide all of these services for free.

Free?

You're doing it for free?

Mr. Johns Hopkins, are you serious?

Why are you suddenly being like this, Professor?

It's hard enough getting on your good side,

so I can't cause you harm, Dr. Han.

If you come to our clinic when you're free, I'll provide you the tests for free.

Oh, great!

Gosh, seriously.

Press down firmly here.

I really don't need any of this, Boss.

I'll be on my way.

Don't turn me into an evil boss, and just do it.

You'll find out once you work a bit more, but a boss and her employees are one body.

If the employee gets sick, it causes trouble for the boss.

Yeah, just do it.

And it's free anyway.

Just get the exam while you have the chance!

All right.

Please press down firmly.

Press down firmly.

The results will come out toward the end of tomorrow.

So you can come pick them up in two days.

Oh, that quickly?

I like it.

I could pick up all three of ours at the same time, right?

Of course.

I told you that you should just go live in the Chairman's house,

instead of staying here uncomfortably like this.

People should live with other people.

Since I got a studio downtown, I just need to be here for one more night.

I knew Chairman was not human!

I'm telling you, physiognomy is scientific!

The people there are mean to you, right?

Like they would use French amongst themselves and not call you when they eat.

Oh, and they would threaten you to give up your stocks!

How do you know about things like that?

Obviously, through dramas...

You don't believe all that, right?

Do you know how hard the writers investigate the material?

Would they really put things that are fake in their dramas?

Why?

Are you laughing at me for believing in things like that?

No.

It's fun.

I didn't know before

that people were so fun...

and that this world was so interesting.

I should live a long life.

This guy is toying with me right now, right?

I mean, what are you guys doing?

You bragged about how your blood vessels were 1,400 years old,

so did it suddenly get clogged?

Your blood is not circulating, and your brain is not functioning. Should I make sure you can't breathe, either?

Who would have known that a millennium old serpent was living inside of him?

Oh, oh, now you've finally assessed who he is?

What are you going to do if you just figured out who he is when I have only a few days left!

Master Kokdu, I'll just kill that bastard Do Jin Woo with my own hands.

He will die anyway.

Even if it's not by your hands, he will die in a few days time.

I mean, I've been asking you to find a way to save his body from dying, and you've been planning to kill him.

How could you execute well when you didn't get the orders right?

Wait, wait... What's that?

Dr. Han.

Are you inside?

Who are you?

By chance...

is it you, Professor Do?

Who are you...

Professor...

- I'm finally meeting you... - Mr. Park Choong Seong?

Why are you here, Mr. Park Choong Seong?

Do you know how much I've been searching for you, Professor?

You were searching for me? Why...

The list...

What is it?

The list?

The fabricated Pilseong Hospital health examination list that I gave you.

I don't know.

What?

But you told me you found out what it was...

You said you'd go to court and submit it as evidence!

I made a mistake.

I thought it was a medical malpractice list, but it turns out it wasn't.

W-Why are you being like this?

Did you receive threats from Pilseong?

Your accident was most likely not a mere accident, Professor!

Kim Pil Soo tried to kill you, right?

It wasn't.

I was taking depression pills, and I think they may have been too strong.

No...

No, it can't be...

Do you know!

Do you know what I've done because of you?

I thought Kim Pil Soo had killed you.

I was afraid I'd end up like that too! I was afraid my family would be in danger!

I lived as if I was dead.

I'm sorry.

I didn't know things would end up like this.

Please go back to your life even though it's late.

Go back?

To where?

Home?

My Ji Min...

thinks of me as a hero who died saving children.

You want me to return and become an insurance fraudster?

Having a fraudster dad

is better than not having a dad.

What about that list?

Are you telling me to live as if I don't know about it?

What's so important about what's right or wrong?

What's important is that you are alive.

And so...

What do you mean Park Choong Seong disappeared?

He went to the clinic last night to meet you and Professor Do.

Me?

I didn't see him.

He hasn't come back after he left like that.

What about his phone? Have you tried calling him?

Hyung, where are you?

Hyung, nothing's wrong, right?

I'm worried about you.

- Please call me when you see this. - I've caused you trouble for too long.

I can handle it by myself now, so don't worry about me.

I'm sorry.

He probably needs some time to think due to the shock.

He will probably return home soon.

What if he starts having bad thoughts because the shock was too great?

Or Park Choong Seong really knows something

- so Pilseong tried to shut him up for good. - Your imagination is going wild.

This won't do.

Professor, please find Park Choong Seong.

Me?

How could I find someone

determined to hide himself?

You won't be the one to search for him, Professor.

Boolhwa Group will be searching for him.

When Kokdu first found Park Choong Seong, it took him two hours.

Turns out there really isn't anything the chaebol can't do.

I can't.

Kokdu might be able to,

but I can't...

since I'm human.

I see.

Are you telling me Kokdu got along with the Boolhwa Group,

but that you can't, Professor?

That you don't want to get involved with those people who don't even act human?

I'm just...

asking because I'm scared. Can't you do something?

Because Park Choong Seong disappeared,

I'm starting to wonder if the recent accident had anything to do with it...

An accident?

You don't remember, right?

Some guy recently attacked me.

The police say he's probably a neighborhood scum,

but you never know.

It could be one of Kim Pil Soo's men.

Why would Kim Pil Soo try to kill you, Dr. Han?

Can't you just turn a blind eye this once and find him for me, please?

I'm sorry.

Professor Do, I can understand how you feel,

but a person's life is on the line.

Professor Do,

is your pride more important than someone's life?

Is it?

This is quite the problem.

Is that the best she could do to act adoringly?

Go and put it on Han Gye Jeol.

Oh, of course, we should put silver handcuffs on her.

Such an insufficient cutesy act deserves legal punishment.

What silver handcuffs! Just ask if you don't get it, you bonehead!

I'm telling you to put a smartwatch on her.

A smartwatch?

What? I thought it was Boolhwa Group's pride. The All Star Watch.

Why? Does it not perform well?

As expected, the one from Pilseong Electronics is better.

Gosh, seriously.

For electronics, nothing beats the traditional Boolhwa Group's electronics!

But why are you telling me to put this on Han Gye Jeol?

She says she is scared.

If she were to wear that, she would feel somewhat better.

Gosh, scared me!

What! Why are you acting like you're going to die?

T-That's it!

Smartwatch!

What are you saying? Talk in a way that I can understand!

T-The smartwatch...

- You can set a password, right? - Of course!

The thing with this is that it sends an SOS signal just by yelling out the password.

Then we could just change that password to

"Kokdu, please come back!"

Oh! So what you're saying is

we should put this smartwatch on her and then put her in an emergency situation.

- Yeah. - For example, if we have neighborhood thugs

approach Han Gye Jeol threateningly-

"Kokdu, please come back!"

Then, Master Kokdu will just appear in front of Han Gye Jeol!

Wow! You're so smart!

Hey, what do you think of Do Jin Woo?

Is he still competent, gentle, and handsome?

Now that you've met him again, is he still the same as you thought?

How could people be the same as you thought?

What's this? You must have gotten very disappointed.

- Oh, no... - It's okay. Just think of me as an unni and open up.

I'm really good at keeping secrets.

Kokdu once said this to me.

What I see is real

and what I want to see is fake.

And that I should see what's real in front of me.

But you know, I don't know if there's a problem with me,

but I keep searching for what's not in front of me.

Why are you beating around the bush?

You miss Kokdu, don't you?

If you want to see him again, just say so, honestly.

It's as easy as saying, "Kokdu, please come back!"

- No, I can't. - Why not? Why can't you?

That would be like asking Professor Do to become a different person.

Imagine if someone else told you that. Would you like it?

I would actually like that.

- You would like that? - Yeah.

I like honest people like that. They're so cute.

That's why I miss Kokdu.

I miss him so much that I changed the password to "Kokdu, please come back!"

Daebak.

Whoa, this is expensive, right?

Yeah, it's a bit pricey. But it's not worth more than my life.

Your life?

Haven't you heard the rumors?

Supposedly, there are sexual predators going around in our neighborhood.

Sexual predators?

Like those who do bad things to women?

Yeah, it's so scary, right?

Oh, right. You said something terrible happened to you recently.

- Yes... - Oh, goodness...

Do you think your neighborhood's gotten a bit more safe?

Are there a lot of streetlights?

Oh, and you live by yourself, goodness...

I do have a younger brother,

but this guy hasn't been coming home these days...

Yeah, what's the use of having ten of guys like him?

This one thing is probably better than him.

I'm jealous...

Should I let you borrow it?

You could do that?

Gosh, it's all right. You're probably afraid, too, Unni.

No, I have lots of people who can come pick me up every night.

Here. Give me your wrist.

Really?

Sweetheart, you should consider yourself lucky to have met me.

How lucky are you? Where would you find an unni like me? Here.

- It's yours. - Thank you, Unni...

But what did you say the password was?

"Kokdu, please come back."

You just left Han Gye Jeol just now?

Yeah.

I told her I'll clean up the clinic,

so she said she would go home right away. She should be there soon.

- Do it right. - Of course, I will.

Don't worry about it. It's nothing.

Guys, ready?

Hey, did you guys come to do boxing?

Act more like thugs. Walk while dragging your legs.

Yeah, spit a little.

Did the plan change?

These guys. They should tell me if the plan has changed.

What's this?

What's that bastard doing?

She's not...

Han Gye Jeol, no!

Han Gye Jeol, get out.

Leave, Han Gye Jeol! Leave!

No, Han Gye Jeol... Han Gye Jeol!

What the...

Call me! Please call on me!

Han Gye Jeol!

Are you disappointed it's me?

Professor, you don't like me like that.

Dr. Han, Kokdu was just a delusion.

Please help me, so I can continue to live as Do Jin Woo.

I will think about it.

Are you going to kill him?

The deity gave you one last day.

Dr. Han, are you saying you have no intention of helping me?

I'm saying I'm not qualified to help you.

Kokdu, come back!
