Original subtitles

Oh Hyun!

In the end, I was unable to tell you...

the words remaining within my heart.

"I love you, Seol Hui."

Loving you...

was the essence of my life.

There is no sign of rain.

Only transient winds flow within this land of punishment.

It was my duty within this afterlife...

to wait for you, who will join me here in the future.

What are you waiting for that you remain on this path?

Seol Hui...

I would like to meet Seol Hui.

The relationship between you two breeds fire, destined to ignite disaster.

Crossing the river to Hades and using its cold water to wash off that fiery connection.

In the next life,

a clear and fresh fate like a flowing river will await you.

I do not wish so.

Seol Hui is my fate.

Though you boast that you can change your fate,

nothing in this world

can be moved by human intentions alone.

Put aside that conceit

and let your will follow your fate's path.

I will do...

whatever it takes to meet Seol Hui...

One.

One.

Two.

Two

Three.

Three.

As you can see, I am strong for no good reason.

Do not worry.

Must you really learn this?

Yes.

Why are you so keen on learning martial arts, Seol Hui?

When my parents passed away,

I was taken in as a foster daughter

at the house of a very distant kin.

Though I am thankful for them raising me,

I am also very aware of why they brought me in the first place.

By setting me up as a concubine of a high-ranking official,

they were planning to use me to their advantage.

I do not wish to be sold off like that without doing anything.

By learning martial arts, I will protect myself on my own.

Given your current skills, you'll be far from achieving that.

With this,

puncture me right here.

What?

You said you wanted to protect yourself.

You must do it in one try. Do not ever hesitate.

What do you expect to do if you cannot even do what I asked?

- Just give up. - You are so mean.

Better to hire someone for the job.

But I cannot afford to do so.

Then use someone who's already "contracted" with you.

What?

Hire me.

I will protect you, Seol Hui.

Oh Hyun...

Give me your hand.

What flower is this?

It is azaleas that bloom in both this life and the afterlife.

It represents my determination

to protect you in both realms.

It's been long since the sun has come up,

and the warmth of my heart has disappeared under the blade of the snowstorm.

Even though I have forgotten all my empty memories that are now as clear as ice...

just as always,

I continue to stand here in persistent wait.

One person's soul now remains just a deep-seated grudge.

You should stop and rest now.

I do not wish to.

I must meet her...

During such a long span of time...

just whom are you waiting for?

That woman...

Her name is...

Her face...

Are you waiting for someone you do not even remember?

What is the reason for this?

Is it anger, revenge, or apology?

Or perhaps love?

That is...

That is...

I will know when I meet her!

You were given a chance during that long span of time.

The chance to obey my words of your own accord

and submit to your assigned fate.

Yet you, arrogant and stupid human,

have committed the sin of disobedience to me to the end.

As punishment, you shall now become a Kokdu.

You will meet such a death that is feared and avoided by all

and unable to be loved.

The curses and resentments of all humans and the deceased will ring eternally in your ears.

Like that, you will guide the deceased in the afterlife,

and pursue repeated killings in the world.

If that woman chooses to love you even in such a state,

that is when your cursed life will end

and eternal peace will be with you.

It's a perfect night to murder someone.

You really couldn't find him?

I even went through my emergency network of contacts.

- He isn't in any of Seoul's hospitals. - Gosh...

Let's take a look at this first.

Does he have a death wish?

I'm sure he's like that due to the shock from falling.

I-It's quite possible.

You saw, right? He walked off on his own two feet.

He didn't drag a body or anything like what you presumed.

What about the building's CCTV?

Was there anyone suspicious who went into the Professor's home?

I already looked into all that, of course.

I went through 24 hours of surveillance,

but the only person who entered that house was Do Jin Woo.

Then why did he fall?

Yes, Hyung.

You were able to track his location?

They found him?

Thank you, Hyung. I will treat you big sometime.

What did they say? Where is the Professor?

They say the signal got totally lost as soon as he entered Yeongpo Highway.

Is there any place in Yeongpo city that he might have gone to?

I wouldn't know.

This bastard... Did he flee?

But why would he flee? It doesn't make sense.

Because he went mad and caused an accident, but

since the opposing side is Pilsung Group, he must've been unable to handle that burden.

That's why he disappeared into thin air!

There are many irresponsible punks like him.

This doesn't make any sense...

Hey...

If Professor disappears like this, it will only make me look bad.

I'll be labeled as the crazy traitor that reported him!

Han Cheol,

is it possible to look up things like credit card statements?

Not just anyone could do that... but...

I am not just anyone, am I? Just trust me.

Where are you going? You're not going to Yeongpo, are you?

- Home... - Home?

I have to sleep.

Are you even able to sleep in this situation?

Tomorrow may be worse than today.

I need to at least go get some sleep,

so that I can endure tomorrow.

He disappeared?

[GHB pharmacist Jo Bong Pil released and dismissed from public prosecution...]

[Jo Bong Pil, die!] Die, Die, Die...

[Jo Bong Pil, die!] Die... Die...

Die!

[2022 Gangpo University Department of Pharmacy MT]

Cheers!

Eun Ji.

- Good to see you. - Yes, thank you.

Drink up.

Eun Ji, are you okay?

Kill Jo Bong Pil, please!

Die, Jo Bong Pil!

- Die, I say! - Please, just kill him already!

- Please kill Jo Bong Pil! - Die!

Please, just die!

Please get rid of the photos...

I will give you all the money you want.

Please save my daughter.

She has a whole future ahead of her.

I will do whatever you ask!

Please!

Please, God, oh, please...

Please save me...

God, please save me...

Someone, just kill Jo Bong Pil for me already!

Please kill him!

Please kill him!

Why can't the law apply to him?

Why are there laws, then?

Kill Jo Bong Pil!

Kill him!

Who the hell is Jo Bong Pil!

Kill him!

Jo Bong Pil... Jo Bong Pil...

- Jo Bong Pil, you ask... - Kill him! Kill him!

He's a pharmacist, yes.

He drugged his hoobaes with roofies and messed with them.

But he prepared the drugs with such dexterity

that he was released for lack of evidence.

Who said I was curious about his crime!

His picture!

I need to see his face, so I can kill him!

[GHB pharmacist Jo Bong Pil released and dismissed from public prosecution...]

[GHB pharmacist Jo Bong Pil released and dismissed from public prosecution...]

Will you really do everything I ask?

Then...

have a drink with me.

You can't even do that for your daughter?

I thought you said you were her mother.

Get over here!

What a fussy woman you are.

The camera...

The camera... where is it...

Looking for this?

Who are you?

Who are you, you bastard!

The king of death who has come to handle the several layers of sewage that have grown out of control.

- What did you say? - The stench is unbearable.

When I look at you guys,

it seems to me like the Creator used trash as his inspiration in making humans.

I have to say he sure has bad taste.

What is this psyc-

Exactly...

What a fussy human you are.

Please save me...

- Sav- - I am not a god who saves.

Hey, hey! Why are you trying to burn all these valuable clothes?

- Don't you know how much- - It's Do Jin Woo's clothes.

- Why? You want to wear it? - Geez.

Who knows what ill omen lies in the dead man's clothes?

Hurry up and burn it. Burn it.

There...

May you go to a better place.

To a better place...

To a better place...

Sir Kokdu!

Aigoo, have you returned?

You have done a big task today.

Would you like some honey water?

Kokd-

Aigoo.

Hey.

How is it that you have been rejected* for 500 years straight? ("To be rejected" sounds the same as "to be kicked" in Korean)

A soccer ball in the World Cup would be kicked less than you.

Go and burn it up.

Who says I'm rejected?

You should be kicked until you swell like a ball to bring you back to your senses.

You can't do anything to Kokdu, yet you grill me all the time!

Why would I mess with our poor Kokdu?

Hey, how can you feel sorry for that guy for 500 years?

He hears the venting of the deceased in the afterlife,

and he hears the curses of humans in this world.

He doesn't want to, but he has to freaking kill people every day.

If that's not pitiful, I don't know what is.

As long as he kills the most reviled man, his world will become quiet.

- Isn't that enough? - What's the use of having peace only for a day?

New pains are waiting for him throughout 99 days.

He can't handle that much when he's here to be punished?

That's not punishment. That'd be a vacation.

But even punishments should have limits!

There's an end to counting the grains of the sand on that beach.

Yet, as for the curse of our Sir Kokdu,

there's no end in sight. Gosh...

Why is there no end in sight?

- We have to find that woman. - As if.

Who knows when she will show up.

Aigoo.

I'm sure the Creator has his plans.

- Aigoo. - Aigoo, geez.

If you really pity him, why don't you go and try looking for his ring?

Just where did he lose that ring?

Gosh...

Let us send off Do Jin Woo first.

May you go to a better place.

May you go to a better place...

How is it that a dead body can disappear?

Are you sure it's not a slipup on your part, Joong Shik?

He fell off the roof.

It's not a height a person could survive.

Didn't you say he fell on top of a car?

He could've survived because of that.

Just in case, I thoroughly searched every hospital in Seoul.

He is nowhere to be found.

So he disappeared, huh?

The letter of complaint from the Prosecutors' Office...

Spread it on the hospital's intranet.

Let's make it bigger by saying Han Gye Jeol he hired, sued him

and committed suicide out of despair.

So, we can also get rid of Han Gye Jeol in one blow.

What if we do that

and Do Jin Woo somehow comes back alive? What will you do then?

He'll probably run his mouth

saying it wasn't suicide.

A mental disorder...

stemming from extreme stress and fall trauma.

If you failed to kill the guy,

just make him into a lunatic.

Even if Do Jin Woo comes back alive,

he won't be able to do anything.

Koreans need rice power!

One must endure in order to eat!

My goodness...

All right...

One must eat in order to endure!

Come down.

Good day.

Hello.

Hello.

Sir.

Do you feel pain when I press your back or elsewhere?

No...

Lift your hands, so I can take a look at the wounded area.

What are you doing? I must examine the area to treat it.

You still think you are a doctor here?

Who are you to tell me what to do!

What did you say?

Doctor! Please take a look over here.

Move. Stop being a bother.

Hey.

As a traitor...

how dare you come here!

[Disciplinary Committee Announcement: Han Gye Jeol of Dept. of Emergency Medicine]

[For tainting the reputation of both the hospital and faculty with false claims...]

[Reason for Discipline: Violation of rule 13 of Pilsung Hospital policy (Suspension of duties and reduction in salary)]

Good morning, sir.

No, no. It's fine.

I did not lie!

I did not betray him, either!

Professor Do already knew that I would testify.

I didn't report him. Professor requested that of me!

Is Professor Do crazy or something?

- Why would he request that? - As for that...

it's a personal matter for Professor Do. I can't tell you.

More like you have nothing to say.

Is that what you call an excuse?

Just how dumb are you?

This is why I am particular about one's school and family background.

At least they have the basics down.

What use is there...

standing here and dragging this out?

Bring Do Jin Woo here.

Then we will know who is telling the truth.

Disappear?

It's not like he's vapor. There's no way he'd disappear.

It's not true, right?

Attempted suicide?

There's no way you would do that, Oppa...

Why didn't you tell me if you were having such a hard time?

What am I to you, Oppa?

How could you do this to me...

Professor Do, I need to talk to you!

Professor Do!

Please open the door, Professor Do.

Please?

I'll understand whatever you have to say to me.

I won't hit you!

Shit!

Geez.

Because he went mad and caused an accident, but

since the opposing side is Pilsung Group, he must've been unable to handle that burden.

That's why he disappeared into thin air!

There are many irresponsible punks like him.

Did he really run away or something?

[Notification: Forced Dismissal]

[You have been dismissed from the group chat of the Pilsung Hospital ER medical services team.]

It took 10 years to get in,

yet leaving takes less than 10 minutes, huh?

If I knew how fickle you guys were,

I wouldn't have loved you so much.

[Forced Dismissal from Yeon Yi University ER Medicine...]

Hey.

You guys can't do this to me!

Let's find him.

I will find Do Jin Woo no matter what it takes

and kill him with my own hands.

Huh?

Tae Jung Won!

Hey! It's a good thing I ran into you.

You are in touch with Professor Do, right?

I said I don't know.

How many times do I tell you for you to understand?

But you knew everything from the very beginning.

You must be very close to the Professor to know all that.

I am not sure what the Professor's situation is,

but my situation is...

not so easy, either.

Getting fired from Pilsung is a given, and

I don't think I can get hired anywhere else, either.

Jung Won, you and I...

You and I go back all these years, you know.

Tell me where Professor Do is. Please?

I don't know.

I really don't know, but...

even if I knew, my answer would be the same.

- What? - I don't like you getting involved with Oppa, to begin with.

- So, why? - Because you are the queen of destruction.

- Queen of destruction? - For whoever gets involved with you,

everything comes to an end.

The club members called you that all this time.

Didn't you know?

Wow...

Why do those guys always talk crap about me?

Does the club even function without me?

This time around, too.

If you just kept quiet about what you saw,

Oppa would've given up everything and left for the US.

It would have been a happy ending for everyone.

But why are you acting all high and mighty?

Why would you stick your nose into it?

So, what?

Are you saying this is all my fault?

Hey.

Hey, I'm a victim here, too.

If the Professor didn't show up in my life,

I'd be living peacefully without troubles.

Even if it's not Pilsung Hospital,

I could've worked at a smaller hospital that needed me,

treat patients there,

receive thanks,

and live happily ever after!

Entangling one's own destiny...

is often described as "You reap what you sow."

I'm not sure if you get what I mean, though.

Seriously?

Let go of me. I said, let go!

I will never let go until you tell me where Professor Do is.

Are you trying to get at me?

You remember, don't you?

I won our school's women's arm wrestling contest.

Given my delicate appearance, you seem to misunderstand.

I don't lose when it comes to strength, either!

Don't you remember orthopedics tried to woo me?

That really hurts. Ow, ow, stop, stop, stop!

Ow, stop! Ow!

Noona! Noona, Noona!

Noona! Noona, are you okay?

Who the hell are you? Let go already!

Take your hands off Noona!

- Ouch... - Oh, my gosh!

Oh, my, Han Cheol! Oh, no!

My gosh! Are you okay?

It was a direct hit!

You got a nosebleed!

What?

- Move over. - Hey, hold it there.

I said, move over, will you? She... she...

How annoying...

What? How rude!

- Hey! - You'd better not run into me again.

You hear me? I won't let things slide next time!

Eat some chicken and feel better.

When you're depressed, there is nothing like the meat* to bring you back up. (Sounds like "bring up")

You know, right?

It's that expensive?

If the location is good, the price goes up...

I understand.

What's so expensive?

I looked into getting flyers and placards, but it's so expensive.

Getting approval from the district office is no joke, either.

Cheol, did you find out anything?

Well...

Not yet.

A violent crimes detective can't even find that?

Tax thief...

An idiot looking into making flyers have no say in this.

What do you mean?

Who searches for people using stuff like that these days?

Then what?

Do you know how?

Noona, do you know any celebrities or influenzas?

Influencer, you mean. Influencer.

You think I'd be friends with the flu?

Influenza or whatever.

Don't you know people who spread things fast and furious?

How would I know people like that?

Geez...

Looking for Do Jin Woo, who had an affair and ran off with one billion won from his wife's family.

One billion won?

What do you think? It really stands out, no?

"He had an affair with my best friend and ran off with one billion won of my family's money."

Hey, do you really have to go this far?

Did you know Korea is at the top of the world when it comes to fraud crimes?

They will go to death to capture a murderer,

but they can't catch a swindler for their life.

To catch those who committed fraud and fled,

we need the three elements of DBS.

Whoa... DBS.

Is it an investigative term?

D for don (money), B for baram (affair), and S for sidaek (in-law).

To engage the power of the online community, nothing works better than this.

[He had an affair with my best friend and ran off with one billion won of my family's money.]

Wow...

- Why? - Do Jin Woo...

This jerk brings shame to all men.

Take a look at this.

For one billion won, I would do it, too.

One billion won?

Wouldn't you do the same, Hyung?

Of course, I would.

Do Jin Woo!

Oh, my gosh! He had an affair with his wife's best friend!

That best friend bitch is the worst.

Gosh! Oh, my world!

I feel so sorry for her!

[9:09 p.m.]

Die, Do Jin Woo!

- You think money is all that? - Do Jin Woo, I'll kill you when I find you!

You're a dead man anyway. Stop your antics and get lost!

- How could someone like him be a doctor? - Do Jin Woo!

- Die, I say! - Die!

Aigoo, to think that someone like him is a doctor...

So crazy!

With such a rumor going around,

I'd kill myself from embarrassment!

Where is Do Jin Woo hiding?

Such a loser.

Look here, Creator!

- Let me get some rest, too! - Die, Do Jin Woo!

Even if this is a curse or punishment, you should keep the five-day workweek schedule!

I'm a god, too!

Continuing to do this to me is impolite, don't you think?

- How can such an omnipresent being - Do Jin Woo!

- Not hear me out at all? - Die!

- Let's meet and talk! - Face reading is scientific, I tell you.

- Die alone if you must. - Do Jin Woo...

- That terrible bastard... - Die!

If I find you, I will kill you!

- Kill Do Jin Woo! - Yes, yes. Coming!

We are coming, we are coming. Yes, yes.

Who is it this time, sir?

Who is Do Jin Woo?

Do Jin Woo! Do Jin Woo, let's see...

D-Do... Do...

Do Jin Woo?

W-What about Do Jin Woo?

I'm going to f***ing kill him.

What do you mean, who is Do Jin Woo?

It is you, sir!

He must be broken from being so old.

Being on the run, he probably didn't get proper treatment.

I will do whatever it takes to take responsibility for you.

I will never leave you to regret it by yourself.

Just wait until I catch you.

I'll ask him to take responsibility for me all his life.

[Notification: Do Jin Woo spotted in Yeongpo city, often seen taking walks at the beach in front of our house...]

I think I saw Do Jin Woo in Yeongpo.

I just saw Do Jin Woo near the Yeongpo sea.

So many people saw him. Try going to Yeongpo.

Wait, wait. What are you trying to do...

No, no, no! W-Wait!

No!

Oh, dear... What do we do?

It's not like you can kill yourself, Sir Kokdu.

Find the person who wrote that article first.

W-What?

If I kill that bastard, surely the rumors will disappear with him.

Sir Kokdu, you are a genius.

I will certainly kill you.

I will kill you by twisting your five viscera and six entrails and freezing your blood.

It is this woman, Han Gye Jeol.

I've seen her somewhere before...

Why are you doing this, Professor?

I should've just killed her, then! If it weren't for that punk Ok Shin!

Please don't say that.

Y-You cannot mess with her. Never.

You really got comfortable with me, huh?

Giving me meddlesome advice and all.

I'm just afraid we will incur divine wrath by harming her when she has no sin!

The sin of being an annoyance to me.

That alone is enough.

Her picture.

Yes, here.

But you must not, I tell you!

She-Geez!

W-What about me?

[Yeongpo Park]

A lot of people had seen him at this park somewhere...

Mom, save me!

A dog dream. Silly dream.

Why should I go through this crap just for getting mixed up with Do Ji Woo?

Whenever Do Jin Woo is around, it always turns out to be a dog dream.* (Silly dream)

Han Gye Jeol!

Dear me! I'm now hearing things! Oh, no!

Han Gye Jeol!

Professor Do?

Professor...

Ouch...

That hurts...

You're alive.

She's strong for no good reason.

As you can see, I am strong for no good reason.

Do not worry.

What is this?

Who's that?

Are you okay?

A-Are you hurt anywhere?

What are you doing?

You are...

really okay.

You've been fine, and you didn't even call me?

If you come closer to me, you're dead.

You'll die anyway, but you will die the most miserable death.

Thanks to you-know-who, I am already dead!

Do you know how much I've been dreaming of this moment?

I won't let you get away. Not a chance!

Did you work at a chicken farm or something?

Why do you keep wringing my neck like this!

Fine. I was as stupid as a chicken.

I'll acknowledge it.

Let go of this!

Geez!

What the...

What's going on?

I said let go of me!

I have become weak-hearted.

This has never happened before.

You... What the?

Can't you tell?

I am Han Gye Jeol!

Yes! Who are you exactly, Han Gye Jeol?

Countless heroes and incomparable beauties who passed through death

did not turn my eye or concern me.

But why am I reacting like this to a Plain Jane* like you? (Sounds like "elementary")

E-Elementary food service?* (She misunderstood two syllables, leading to a different meaning)

What am I? Rice* or something? (Sounds like "stupid" in Korean)

Are you stupid?

Average Joe, Jane Doe,

Out of the ordinary, Plebs! Don't you know?

What's with these phrases all of a sudden?

You must've been hiding out in some sacred place or something.

No wonder the police couldn't find you.

Hearing curses is enough. Why should I listen to this crap?

You owe me a super ultra huge debt, you perpetrator. Yet what?

- Crap? - Perpetrator?

I'm here to punish the sinners. I'm not here to commit sin.

What nonsense are you spewing like a church pastor?

Forget it! Just tell me.

Did you really run away?

Why did you run away? Why, why, why?

Why do you want to know?

So I can decide whether to let it slide or not!

Let it slide?

There is no situation.

If you're human, at least apologize first.

Why are you so arrogant?

Will anything change if this guy apologizes?

Why do humans foolishly demand an apology with nothing to gain?

Wow, Professor. You are not even human.

At least you have good eyes. Right, I am not a human.

I figured out why you are like this, Professor.

Really? And why is that?

Why?

Amnesia?

Who are you to decide to lose my memory?

Do you remember anything I've said so far?

Of course not.

Exactly! That's why you have amnesia.

When you fell, your brain could've received a severe shock.

If it's TBI*, recovering memories could be tough even if you know the cause. (TBI: Traumatic Brain Injury)

What should we do...

Yeah!

It could be dissociative amnesia if you incur a lot of stress.

Since that's psychological, we can hope for a dramatic recovery.

- What are you doing right now? - Diagnosing.

I must diagnose you to treat you.

Why would you diagnose me!

So, this is technically our first meeting, right?

It's a first to meet a human like you in many ways.

Then let's introduce each other properly.

I am Han Gye Jeol, and I am a doctor.

Due to my name, I don't like the song "The Forgotten Season."* (Gye Jeol means "season" in Korean)

Not sure if it's my fate or if I lack presence.

I have been forgotten once again.

Why bring up fate?

Are you asking me to save you from your fate that lacks presence?

At our first meeting so shamelessly?

Introduce yourself is what I'm saying.

You remember your name, at least, right?

Kokdu.

I've lost it!

Why am I telling my name to a human?

Kokdu?

You mean the Grim Reaper?

Who says I am the Grim Reaper!

- On the path to death... - Yes, yes.

You are the king whom no one can dare fight or disobey.

Of course.

He thinks he is someone else.

Is it maybe a dissociative fugue?

For now, let's listen to him instead of provoking him too much.

It's nice to meet you, Kokdu.

Why?

You plan to throw me down again like earlier?

Well, earlier...

It was because I didn't know.

Professor! I mean...

Kokdu... I thought you betrayed me.

Then whose fault is it?

Well, if we were to point fingers...

The fault of the gods, maybe?

You think gods are that leisurely? For them to worry about that?

But blaming the gods is easier than blaming people.

Thinking it's an illness makes me less upset than thinking it was a betrayal.

Betrayal, revenge. Such tragedies are not my cup of tea.

- Then what is your cup of tea? - A happy ending!

If you meet, you break up. If you're born, you end up dying.

The ending decided by the gods is always sad.

The word "happy" simply cannot exist in their dictionary

for they can't stand to see people being happy.

Even if the gods decide on the sad ending,

people should still start out with joy.

So, why don't we shake hands?

Happily.

Why would I-

Did you, perhaps...

[Tae Jung Won]

Tae Jung Won...

Kokdu?

Kokdu!

Professor!

Professor!

Darn it!

Hey! Do Jin Woo!

If I catch you, you're dead meat!

Hey!

Where did you go...

I have to go find you again...

The afterlife where there is no rain...

It finally felt real that I was in this world when I got drenched by the rain.

I was worried this would be

a dream, an illusion, or just pure insanity.

But I guess the time must have come.

The time for that woman to appear...

I am finally...

free.

Huh?

Did something good happen, sir?

The woman to break my curse has finally appeared.

Let's go.

Sir Kokdu.

The woman to break your curse appeared?

If I missed something in the afterlife, it was this rainfall.

Both my heart and body were so dried up and thirsty. I missed even a drop of rain so much.

Before my time comes, let us enjoy this rain and alcohol today.

- But, Sir Kokdu. - Huh?

You don't even remember that woman's name or face.

How can you be so sure that Han Gye Jeol is that woman?

Because I have become weak-hearted.

I'm not sure if it's resentment, revenge, apology, or love. But anyhow,

my heart was moved somehow.

There's no way anything is left in your heart that was scorched on the way to the afterlife.

It's my first time since having hair on my head, hearing that a nonexistent heart has been moved.

Do you want me to pluck out all of your hair?

Ok Shin does have a point, though.

It's difficult to be certain about it with only that.

Gak Shin.

There's the ring, remember?

From this point on,

you shall descend into the world.

Already?

Intertwined with greed and rumors, we committed the sin of creating disharmony in the world,

which we are still paying for.

You said washing clean a misdeed takes at least 180,000 years...

Why already...

Every 99 years,

Kokdu will descend into the world for 99 days.

By helping him,

continue to clean off your wrongdoings.

What is it...

that we should help him with?

His death.

Pardon?

For hundreds of years, he has held

a deep-seated grudge without changing.

At least for once,

that cruel fate should come together

for the grudge to come to an end and bring things to a close.

Find that woman.

Find her, and if Kokdu hears her say she loves him,

everything will be over then.

We do not even know who that woman is.

How would we find her?

When the time comes,

that ring will take you to her.

But you lost that ring.

I told you over and over again.

It's not that I lost it. It simply went back to its owner.

I see. You guys won't believe it until you see it with your own eyes.

Fine, let's go then.

I'm sure Han Gye Jeol has the ring.

- Let's go and check! - No need...

to go to her.

That ring which will lead us to her when the time comes...

is right here.

Why is this...

We found it while burning Do Jin Woo's clothes.

- What? Oh, my gosh! - What, what, what?

- The ring, the ring! - Oh, my!

- Get it! - It's there!

Do Jin Woo? Why did he have this?

You really think Do Jin Woo was holding on to it?

As always,

the ring simply followed its way back to you, Sir Kokdu.

I was the one who had it?

It wasn't seeking its owner?

Then...

is Han Gye Jeol not the one?

Then what's wrong with me?

Why am I unable to kill Han Gye Jeol?

Why am I becoming weak-hearted?

That's what I'm saying!

She is obviously not pretty. Just ordinary and downright normal!

Why would you be acting this way, Sir Kokdu?

Did humanity develop in me from coming to this world too often?

That's horrifying!

Don't make a wrong guess.

There isn't a drop of humanity in you, even if we look with a magnifying glass.

Anyhow, aigoo! Aigoo!

How can Team Kokdu run without me? Geez.

Do you know something?

You better know something.

This is all because...

Han Gye Jeol has no sin.

Who in this world is sinless?

What a load of nonsense.

I better go and clean my ears.

What Ok Shin said may not be complete nonsense.

Gak Shin, why are you saying that, too?

When you give out punishments, you know about the crime committed in detail.

But perhaps you don't know what Han Gye Jeol did wrong, and that's why you can't kill her!

Next time you run into Han Gye Jeol, make sure she sins right in front of you!

So that the urge to kill her will surface.

Make her sin, you say?

Why? Such a bother.

Geez...

What is this, a person or a truck?

How could you run off when I got distracted momentarily?

You...

How did you know I would be here?

No ordinary human would be able to do that.

It is because I am an ordinary human that I know.

These righteous informants...

Look how many of them there are.

Bring that post down and get out of my sight now.

This will be my last act of charity.

If I were to get lost easily, I wouldn't have made such an effort to upload it in the first place.

Then do you plan to bother me 24/7?

Yes. Until your memory returns, Professor.

Do Jin Woo cannot return! So give up already!

Wait. Take a seat here for a second.

You must not make a move, okay?

- Why? - There is something I must give you.

Just what is she planning to give me?

Oh, this curiosity of mine is always causing trouble.

What is sh-

Is this the reason you had me wait?

Just try it.

Now,

since you accepted a bribe, you must grant a wish in return.

You received education in the economy but not in ethics?

Nothing's free in this world.

What is your wish? Let me hear it.

Do you recall anything at all?

Recall what?

What do you think you're doing?

Okay. This is a memory association method.

We have to do whatever it takes to recover your memories, so cooperate. Okay?

This is your mother, Professor Do.

She passed away from a medical accident.

You needed a witness for that accident. That's why you hired me.

Not knowing such a backstory, of course...

I made a fool of myself, jumping to conclusions.

You liked him, didn't you?

W-What? Do you remember?

They say two things you cannot hide are love and coughs.

But you should hide it. Have some regard for the other person's feelings.

You think I'm happy about doing this?

My job is on the line. That's why I'm trying whatever I can.

Wait. You put your job on the line over a man?

Don't you know anyone else you can get some information from?

Doctor Ji Soo Hyun is a possibility...

Ji Soo Hyun?

Then go to him.

Why bother me when you have another human?

Doctor Ji will never testify.

She was threatened harshly.

Do some blackmailing yourself, then.

You think anyone could do blackmailing?

I have to know stuff to blackmail.

Why didn't you say so in the first place?

It that's the case, I will help you out.

Help me with what?

I will find out her weakness, so go and threaten Ji Soo Hyun.

Use your desires as an excuse to commit sin right in front of me.

What about sin...

And why are you suddenly helping me?

So, I can go ahead and kill you comfortably, of course.

With Ji Soo Hyun as the scapegoat.

He really is mentally ill, isn't he...

Should I just forget about him?

Good.

Let's go get you killed.

So!

Kokdu, you're saying you'll help me, right?

Without anything in return?

You misunderstood quite deeply.

Usually, people call this a "Trap," not help.

Fine. I have enough problems of my own.

I have no conscience or morals whatsoever.

Very humane.

Yes, this is the human I know.

So where is this Ji Soo Hyun?

Turn a blind eye

and lie for me just once.

Why would I turn a blind eye and lie? Will that work?

Other people don't know about your memory loss.

So, I need you to say, "Han Gye Jeol sued only because I asked her to.

She has never betrayed me."

Please say that to the disciplinary committee for me.

You want me to go and lie for you?

In the end, you're committing sin this way.

It is not a total lie, though.

It's true that you requested me to testify for you.

Does it fall short of a sin, then?

Then why didn't you ask me from the get-go? Why do this now?

Earlier...

I had no idea if you'd help me or not, Professor.

I mean, who would lie for a flat-out stranger?

And things are different now?

You took the lead and

told me to threaten Doctor Ji, and that you would be a big help to me.

I understand.

Your memory may be lost,

but your heart remains.

Yeah, right. What heart?

An apologetic heart.

An apologetic heart.

Then if I testify for you,

will you delete that post from earlier?

You'll never look for me ever again?

Of course.

I will never look for you ever again.

There is no reason...

for us to meet again anyway.

Very well. We will start the disciplinary committee meeting.

I... I apologize.

May I step out and make a brief phone call?

Why don't we get started? We are all busy people here.

Yes. Let us quickly get this over with.

I am Dr. Han Gye Jeol's witness, Do Jin Woo.

Per Han Gye Jeol, she sued the hospital after an agreement was reached with you, Professor Do.

Is that true?

Yes.

Why would you do such a thing?

I didn't want to be a doctor who kills people.

I wanted to reveal that patient Jang Mi Soon was killed following a CT scan mix-up.

How did the CT scans get swapped?

As far as I know, it was by order of Board Chairman Kim Pil Soo.

Do Jin Woo, are you out of your mind?

How can you use the Board Chairman to save your face?

You think you can continue your job as a doctor after screwing around like this?

I can't continue to be a doctor anyway.

What?

P-Professor?

As Han Gye Jeol's wanted, I suffer from memory loss, so I cannot work as a doctor.

Would you receive surgery from someone who has no memories?

Professor!

I did everything you instructed me to.

You never told me to hide my amnesia.

Take care.

Professor.

Professor!

Why did you do that?

If you didn't want to testify, you didn't have to show up.

Why do you show up and cause such a scene!

So you will never look for me again.

- What did you say? - I did some research on the "SNS platform."

Everyone lies on it

yet once marked as a liar, no one believes you again.

What happened today will spread widely as rumors,

and the world will no longer believe whatever you say.

Even if you try whatever tricks you have up your sleeve,

you will no longer be able to find me.

I clearly told you.

Once this issue wraps up, we have no reason to see each other again!

Why would I look for someone who is useless?

Useless...

You would make up any useful excuse to come look for me.

You would meet me using whatever reason you could find.

You have an overflowing lingering attachment for Do Jin Woo.

Your eyes are full of lingering attachment that turns people foolish.

You may know it in your head, but you can't stop your heart.

Using whatever reason, you will be clingy and pathetic.

You'll look for any excuse, thinking that is the only way you'll live.

I do not like you.

Your foolishness is horrific.

So do not cling to me ever again.

Yes!

I am foolish!

So what?

Even though I knew I was being used, I let you play me.

Even though I knew I was betrayed,

I tried to understand you, telling myself that you're sick.

If my friend had done what I did, I would have called her a crazy bitch and given her a beating!

However,

when it became my business, my heart no longer listened to me.

I was completely head over heels for you, who saved me.

I naively fell for you when you said you got my back as a parachute hire.

Because you are the first person who said you would take responsibility for me!

I just wanted to trust you.

That's why...

I'll be the one to criticize myself for being foolish.

Who are you to criticize me for being foolish and whatnot?

You should apologize to me first!

Where are you going?

Come kneel and apologize in front of me!

Aigoo.

Do you not hear me?

Why say such meaningless things?

So stupid, really...

Beg for forgiveness until I feel better, I said!

Hey!

Whoa! What the...

What the hell?

Are you crazy?

What's wrong with my legs! What in the...

Okay, fine. I did something stupid as a chicken brain. I acknowledge my mistake.

Let go of this, please.

Perhaps...

it wasn't that I had become weak-hearted?

Come kneel in front of me and apologize!

What the!

Oh, no. I will never kneel!

I don't even kneel in front of the Creator!

There is no way! Don't do that, whoa!

Don't do this!

I just obeyed Han Gye Jeol?

Who are you?

Who the heck are you...

By chance,

do you know this ring?

W-Why do you ask? What if I do?

Do you? Do you know it?

I will protect you, Seol Hui.

Are you Seol Hui?

I said, are you Seol Hui?

♫ You must have been my enemy ♫

♫ Through layers of connections ♫

♫ We meet again, and while turning a blind eye... ♫

[Kokdu: Season of Deity]

Don't ever let me see you again!

Han Gye Jeol, you can't leave me.

Why are you doing this to me?

I want to go out with you. Is anything else necessary?

If you want to go out with me, try to be sweet for once.

You want money or the hospital? Just tell me.

Are you kidding me?

What should I do to make you like me?

I'll fall for someone even if he doesn't do anything. Not someone who has to do stuff for me.

I'm sure he's out there somewhere.

Someone I'm destined to be with like that.

- Let's date. - All right.

So, is this our day one as a couple?

♫ When it fills up... ♫
