No matter how much you love each other,

one day,

you will have to be separated.

It's tough for people who are alive.

Imagine how hard it would be between you and me.

You're right.

Even if you love each other,

you can't be together forever.

But...

I know it's shameless of me to ask,

but can you stay by my side just like now?

I will.

As long as you want.

And not leave any regrets.

(Happy Young Min's House)

Oh, no.

I must have lost my mind.

I will.

As long as you want. And not leave any regrets.

I should have done it better.

It was too ordinary.

(Delivery Man)

(Episode 8)

Young Min.

I'm meeting my friends from the community center...

Young Min,

do you have a girlfriend?

What?

- Yes. - Is it So Ri?

Come on. She's practically family.

Well, who is it?

It's...

- You don't know her. - And?

Are you going on a date today?

Yes.

Wait, I have to do something.

I should make my grandson look even cooler.

You don't need to do this, Grandma.

Good.

Bang.

You...

Is there an important event today?

I told Grandma that this was the wrong choice.

You dressed up for me, didn't you?

- I look weird, don't I? - Not at all!

It's all good.

They all look good,

but why don't we tuck the collars back in?

The handkerchief can go.

And the belt.

How do I look?

You look great!

Where are we going?

- On a date. - A date?

Not Deahun Medical Center?

This is the first day of our relationship.

I can't waste such a precious day...

on granting other people's wishes.

Yesterday,

I looked up dating spots all night.

To make it a day to remember your whole life.

You can look forward to it.

Young Min.

Do you know how hard I tried searching for dating spots?

Don't be upset.

I booked a fancy restaurant...

and wanted to go to a theme park.

And we're at Han River Park.

Those cost too much money.

You still have a lot of debts to pay off.

You need to save up.

But this is an important day.

This is the first day of our relationship.

Yes, it should be a happy day.

Do you want to be gloomy all day?

It's so nice.

Look at that.

Spending a lot of money doesn't necessarily bring you happiness.

I'm happy enough as it is.

What do you want to do?

Should we walk?

Ji Hyun.

Hold my hand.

Your hand?

I doubt it'll work.

I knew it wouldn't.

Do you remember how we held hands the last time?

Come to think of it, we did.

Well, why doesn't it work now?

Maybe there's a method.

I think that we should put our whole mind to it.

Should we give it a try?

Sure.

One more time?

Gosh, why won't it work?

- One more time. - Give me a second.

Go ahead.

Hey, Seok Jin.

Young Min, where are you? Are you at work?

No, I'm taking a day off.

Why? Are you ill?

Wait. Is your grandma unwell?

That's not it.

I'm on a date.

What? A date?

Seok Jin, I'm busy. I'll talk to you later.

Shall we?

Stop trying.

Young Min is on a date?

Perhaps it's the girl he was going to ask out.

What did you just tell me?

Young Min is on a date?

Yes. Believe it or not, he is.

- I'm jealous. - What does she do?

It was a ghost!

A ghost.

- Sorry? - Sorry?

It was definitely a ghost.

The ghost in front of Moroso Studio.

I saw her.

She quietly got in my taxi...

and turned,

and there was nothing.

She had no face.

Mr. Cho.

You said that marines could fight off ghosts.

Not all ghosts.

What's wrong with him?

Seok Jin.

Other taxi drivers...

also said that they saw ghosts around Moroso Studio.

Maybe there really is something.

Good things and bad things

They're all part of the fun

Ms. Park, I haven't heard from you in a while.

Hey, So Ri.

Young Min says he has a girlfriend.

Do you know who she is?

What? A girlfriend?

This is my first time hearing of it.

Young Min just went...

on a date!

Come on. I know pretty much everything about him.

He worries me as he doesn't even have any friends.

Perhaps he lied to you to make your day?

There's no way.

I'm sure he's keeping it a secret from you for now.

You know how discreet he is.

Ask him again when he comes back.

I'll come by soon.

Okay. See you.

This girl.

What does she know?

Looking back

Did you want me?

Do you think things will go okay with Nurse Kim?

Yes, I'm sure there won't be an issue.

Good.

You know...

how much I like you, right?

I'm well aware.

Be careful.

I'm always concerned when you're involved...

in risky situations.

I can handle my job quite well,

so don't be concerned.

(GB Private Investigator)

Do you think the client of yours will let you live?

When he knows that you have those photos?

This is getting suspicious.

He made me take all these bizarre photos,

so he's certainly a perverted psychopath.

And these could get me killed?

This is lovely.

This is lovely.

It's beautiful.

Beautiful.

Why are you copying me?

Because I like it.

And thank you.

- For what? - For coming to me.

And thank you again...

for staying by my side.

By the way,

the shaman said that ghosts could go to the afterlife...

if they fell in love.

Why haven't you changed?

Oh, you're right.

Why do you stare at me that way?

Ji Hyun.

Are you sure you love me?

Judging from how you suspect me,

you must feel guilty about something.

Or you don't love me enough.

Would you like me...

to prove it?

Prove it? Don't be ridiculous.

Should I jump into the river?

Or how about I yell it out in the middle of the street?

No, thanks.

You ruined it.

I want to go home.

Fine. Let's go home.

Sure.

That's what I want!

What did you say you saw?

A ghost.

A female ghost.

The workers at my company...

often saw her.

You see,

the taxi drivers kept fainting...

after seeing that female ghost.

Now, they all want to avoid taking the night shift.

The company is suffering a loss, and the whole atmosphere...

has become unsettling and disturbing.

Where did you say it was?

Moroso Studio.

Goodness. Look who's here!

How was the date today?

Did you have fun?

No. Not really.

Me neither.

Why?

Her feelings for me weren't so sincere.

Look who's talking.

What are you talking about?

I don't know.

Neither do I.

Of course, his date in a million years went wrong.

Gosh.

Why is he calling at this hour?

Hello?

What are we doing here?

Because there's been a ghost.

A ghost?

Helping the poor ghosts who are wandering this earth...

move on to their afterlives...

is the mission of shamans like me.

A great mission for the peace...

of this life, the afterlife, and the whole universe itself.

Well, why did you bring me along?

Let's go and see.

What's this? There's nothing here.

Isn't it just a made-up story? Like an urban legend.

Hey.

So...

You confessed your love to her, didn't you?

I've told you over and over not to do something you can't handle.

I can handle it.

And I will handle it.

Gosh, you're totally bewitched.

By the way,

we truly love each other and even confessed our love to each other.

So why hasn't she moved on to the afterlife?

That's because...

this isn't true love,

or she's a powerful evil spirit that can't feel any affection.

Or...

she might not be a ghost, but rather some other being.

Some other being?

What does that mean?

Hang on.

Gosh, what a chaotic, bloodthirsty spirit.

What was that?

Stop!

How dare you, wicked spirit?

It's trying to play games with the General.

Why on earth did you bring me here?

Great job.

The shaman said...

that ghosts could go to the afterlife if they fell in love.

Why haven't you changed?

A date with my first love.

My wish came true.

(Will you be my lovely girlfriend?)

I like Young Min.

But the rule doesn't apply to me.

Why is it...

that I'm still the same?

That's because...

this isn't true love,

or she's a powerful evil spirit that can't feel any affection.

(Incoming call)

- Hello? - Mr. Seo Young Min?

Yes, speaking.

I'm Kang Hyung Soo of Bukdaemun Police Station.

Who are you? Why did you want to speak with me?

You know Detective Ko Doo Kang, right?

He was your partner.

So, about Mr. Ko Doo Kang's request...

I got a call from Detective Kang Hyung Soo...

from Bukdaemun Police Station last night.

He wants to meet with me.

That's good.

Let's put aside the awkwardness between us...

- and focus on Doo Kang's case... - Of course.

Letting personal matters get in the way of work...

is something only amateurs would do.

You know I used to be a detective, right?

You're the one who should do a good job.

Fine. Let's go.

Okay.

Am I dreaming right now?

I get to meet my old partner here.

We have so much to talk about. Why isn't he coming?

Mr. Seo Young Min?

Detective Kang Hyung Soo?

Hyung Soo, it's me.

Hyung Soo, it's Doo Kang, your old partner.

Please have a seat.

My goodness.

Thank you for coming to see me.

Hyung Soo.

Goodness.

Hyung Soo, have you been well?

What is this about?

What's wrong with me?

Why?

I owe Mr. Ko Doo Kang...

a great debt from a long time ago.

I must be crazy.

Excuse me for a moment.

Ji Hyun.

Are you okay? What's wrong?

I don't know either.

It's just...

that my heart aches so much.

Take a break here. I'll be back soon.

Okay.

I heard that Mr. Ko...

passed away five years ago.

Yes.

I wasn't aware of that and only found out about it now.

I wanted to repay Mr. Ko for his kindness...

when I became successful.

So I wanted to pass on...

my gratitude to Mr. Ko's daughter, at least.

Mr. Ko's daughter's name is Ko Se Ra, right?

I thought...

you might know Ms. Ko Se Ra.

Please help me find my daughter.

Please?

Se Ra lives in the US.

Then could I at least have her contact information?

I feel like I owe Mr. Ko a big debt.

She's in Korea now.

What did you just say?

Se Ra is in Korea now.

I found out through a news article as well. She's attending a seminar.

A seminar...

That's great. I'll be able to meet her.

I remembered something after getting your call.

So I was going to go there myself.

I have something to give her.

Hey, did you get the search warrant?

I think it'll be hard to look into Kim Jung Woo.

Why?

Kim Jung Woo's whereabouts have no clear connections...

to the Kang Ji Hyun case...

or Kim Jin Sook's hit-and-run case.

And we don't have any objective proof to back this up.

That's exactly why we want to look deeper into him.

And Deahun Medical Center...

seems hesitant about bringing up...

Kim Jung Woo's drug theft anymore.

(Kim Jung Woo, Kim Hee Yeon, Gu Bong)

Seeing how Se Ra's name is in the news,

she must be a successful person.

She was always a smart girl.

She grew up so well, even though I wasn't around.

Still, I'm glad you get to meet your daughter.

Oh, Ji Hyun.

Are you okay?

Of course, I'm fine.

I'm really completely fine.

Give and take. Well, then.

Now, it's time for you to give us information.

Nurse Kim Jung Woo.

There's something in Nurse Kim's personal locker, and that is...

I heard Nurse Kim Jung Woo was fired.

If he was fired,

he must've emptied out his locker. Would anything be left in there?

Gosh, I said the wrong thing. Well...

Inside Nurse Kim's personal locker.

Before. Not now, but before,

what used to be in there was...

He used to have very dangerous drugs in there.

What kind of drugs were they?

That's it for now.

The name of the drugs will be revealed next time.

Give and take.

Bye.

Is he joking?

Gosh.

But I have a hunch.

I think...

this will become an important clue.

(International Robot Industry Conference 2022)

(Guest: MTI University's Robotic Engineering Professor Ko Se Ra)

After we are born, we crawl on all fours,

walk on both feet,

acquire intelligence,

and live full lives...

as human beings.

The process of human development is...

- reflected in the musculature... - My Se Ra is so impressive.

- And movements of robots, - She grew up so well.

And they can now even communicate with humans.

However, robots are still...

unable to share the emotions of humans.

I'll go wait outside.

- Why? - I don't feel so good.

But it's not bad enough to move on to the afterlife.

Don't worry.

The direction in which technology must develop...

for humanoid robots is clear.

Our beloved family members, our neighbors,

and the rest of humanity as a whole.

The unending love for humankind...

that exists within the hearts of scientists.

I believe it is the journey to find true humanism.

Thank you.

(International Robot Industry Conference 2022)

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Se Ra.

I've wanted to see you so much.

Se Ra.

Do you remember me?

I'm your dad's colleague, Kang Hyung Soo.

I saw you when you were little.

I'm sure you don't remember.

Could you make this brief and to the point?

Hello, I'm Seo Young Min.

Mr. Ko Doo Kang helped me in a big way a while ago.

I came to repay his kindness...

I don't have anything to say about that man.

Se Ra.

If this is about that man,

I don't want to hear any more.

Se Ra!

Your dad used to carry this around at all times.

And he would watch it whenever he had the time.

If you want to throw it out, you can do that yourself.

It's yours.

Ms. Ko Se Ra.

I told you, I have nothing to say.

(International Robot Industry Conference 2022)

Actually, in this spot right now,

Mr. Ko is here with us.

What did you say?

Mr. Ko's spirit is here,

standing in front of you right now.

I'm a scientist.

I don't believe in unproven notions or illusions.

I'm sure you don't believe me.

But Mr. Ko...

missed you so much and waited for you,

and eventually came to see you today.

After your mom died when you were little,

you must've needed my attention.

I was so sorry that I left you with your aunt.

When you were little,

your dad left you with your aunt after your mom died.

He says that he's sorry for that.

On Se Ra's birthday,

I said I would buy...

her favorite strawberry cake and visit her, but I couldn't go.

I was very sorry about that.

And he says he's sorry for not buying you...

your favorite strawberry cake.

Your dad used to carry this around at all times.

- Oh, dear. - Give her the toy.

Shake, shake.

Se Ra, look at mommy.

- Look at mommy. - Look over here.

Se Ra, come here. Se Ra, give me a high five.

- Look at daddy. High-five! - Hi!

- Go. Goodness. - Se Ra. Oh, gosh.

No, bad doll.

Raon Elementary School.

Name, Ko Se Ra.

October 17, you are awarded the grand prize...

in the Korean Robotics Competition.

- Yes! You got first place! - That's my daughter!

- Come here. Look at the camera. - Look over here.

- Good. - In 1, 2, 3. Let's go!

Let's go!

Good job, sweetie.

I don't have anything to say about that man.

I don't want to hear any more.

Ko Doo Kang.

You're no father.

You're being punished.

Mr. Ko must be so sad.

He shouldn't have met her if this was how it was going to be.

By the way, Ji Hyun, what's the matter lately?

You're not your usual self. You keep getting sick...

and crying a lot.

I don't know.

I don't know either.

Go inside and get some rest for now.

I should stop clinging on now...

and leave this world.

Mr. Ko.

I'll try to persuade Se Ra once more.

No.

Getting to see how well Se Ra grew up...

is more than enough for me.

Dr. Ko. It's time for your stage rehearsal.

Okay.

All right, today is the second lecture.

Se Ra!

Professor. Are you okay?

Oh, gosh!

Se Ra, are you all right?

Se Ra.

Yes. I'm fine.

Shouldn't you go to a hospital?

No.

- I'm not injured. - I'm sorry.

Please wait outside. We'll inspect the stage again.

Okay.

Se Ra.

(International Robot Industry Conference 2022)

A few months ago,

my mother passed away in an accident out of the blue.

I wanted to tell her...

I was sorry and grateful that...

she was my mother.

But I couldn't tell her that because her death was so sudden.

I have this special ability.

I can see ghosts...

No. This ability lets me see spirits.

That's why I can see your father's spirit as well.

But unfortunately,

I can't see my mother's spirit.

But meeting other spirits helped me realize this.

That my mother is always watching me...

wherever she is.

That's how parents are, right?

And Mr. Ko Doo Kang was a parent too.

He always loved you and worried about you.

But he never got to express it.

He probably thought...

he had time to do all those things later.

Then he suddenly passed away.

He's been wandering around this world...

for five years because he's worried about you.

That's your father, Mr. Ko Doo Kang.

My daughter reached out to you?

Yes, she reached out to me.

See? I told you! I know she seems cold, but she's got a good heart!

You must be so happy.

You will finally get to fulfill your wish.

Yes! My five-year wait is finally paying off!

Thank you for reaching out.

I was worried that you might go back to the US without telling me.

I only called to sort something out.

My aunt called me.

The contract with the cinerarium has matured.

(The Late Ko Doo Kang)

Is...

he...

still by my side?

Yes.

He's next to you.

I see.

I resented you a lot.

I hated you a lot too.

The old USB flash drive you always carried,

the mini robot,

and I wasn't hurt in that accident from yesterday...

Now,

I'm starting to understand that...

you...

didn't abandon me.

Just like me,

you...

had missed me...

and loved me.

But I still don't understand you.

Was work more important than your family? Your own daughter?

I still don't understand how you valued work more.

But...

I won't resent you now.

So...

you should...

rest in peace now.

Thank you.

And I love you.

You were my precious daughter,

Se Ra.

Hey, you're here.

Your grandpa...

It's his death anniversary today.

Everyone is probably waiting for you to show up.

What are you doing here?

I had never liked my grandpa.

Are you asking me to pretend to have liked him now?

The people who supported the chairman...

are still watching you carefully.

- I know you don't want to, but... - Hee Yeon.

I brought the champagne you like.

Sit down. Let's drink.

Hee Yeon.

You know,

I can't forget that day.

The day...

you set me free.

That special day.

Why did you do that to your friend?

Why did you poke your friend's face with a pencil?

He laughed.

His story wasn't funny at all.

- But he laughed out loud... - You punk.

Sir!

- Hello. - Who are you?

What do you want?

I will exclusively be your nurse starting today.

- My name is Kim Hee Yeon. - Stay outside.

No, sir.

What?

If you hit him again, I'll call the police.

Gosh, that must have hurt a lot.

Should we go to the hospital?

I'm okay. This happens all the time.

Does your grandpa hit you often?

Just like you,

my parents passed away too.

It must have been tough...

to be all on your own.

Starting today, I'll protect you.

You'll protect me?

Yes.

That's nice.

Hee Yeon.

Can you be my older sister?

When I was miserable and in pain,

the only person who protected me...

was you.

So...

you'll always be on my side...

to the end, right?

Yes.

Of course.

"Busan Gwangjeon S8091."

But...

why did it turn up here and now?

(Deahun Medical Center)

Why are we here again?

Mr. Ko told us that...

there were some suspicious drugs in Kim Jung Woo's personal locker.

What?

What are you doing here in the middle of the night?

- So Ri. - Right.

You lied to your grandma.

You told her you had a girlfriend and went on a date with her.

What?

Yes.

I know that you only told her that to make her feel better.

Why did you lie? She's eventually going to find out.

What if she wants to see your girlfriend?

That wasn't a lie.

So Ri. I have a favor to ask you.

Can you show me Nurse Kim Jung Woo's locker?

I must check something.

What are you talking about?

You can't go through his personal locker.

That's nonsense.

So Ri, please.

This is very important to me. So...

can you help me?

Darn it. I'm not supposed to.

(Men's changing room for male nurses)

Did you find anything?

No. It was already emptied out. Nothing was in the locker.

Are you sure you checked Nurse Kim Jung Woo's locker?

I triple-checked it.

It was Nurse Kim Jung Woo's locker.

Or ask her to give you his address.

Then can you tell me where he lives?

Hey, Young Min.

I understand where you're coming from.

After your mother's sudden death,

I felt awful too.

So I can't even fathom how you must feel.

I understand how desperate you are.

But...

you're rarely working these days.

And you've been only focused on your mother's case.

But you should stop digging into her case.

Let the police handle it.

I want to,

but I can't.

Why not?

What's the problem?

I'll explain everything to you.

Can you just...

help me this once? Please.

Young Min.

I'm really worried something might happen to you too...

at this rate.

So Ri is such a good friend.

Don't worry.

Nothing's going to happen to me.

Jung Woo.

Can you help me find Jung Woo?

How did you die?

I don't remember.

I was high.

Did...

Kim Jung Woo...

No. He would never.

He was really good to me.

Anyway,

can you find Jung Woo?

I can't leave...

before I see him.

Ji Hyun, over here.

I knew it. Kim Jung Woo was the culprit.

Why are these photos here?

Ji Hyun.

Please wake up.

It's time to wake up.

I'm sorry.

Young Min, why are your pictures here?

Then...

the culprit who killed my mother...

Ji Hyun, what's wrong?

I don't know.

My body feels weird.

(Delivery Man)

Young Min, why are you coming out of there?

You ended up behind bars because of me.

Let's find Kim Jung Woo first.

This vacation house belongs to Nurse Kim Hee Yeon.

She was here that day too.

He couldn't have done it without an accomplice.

Something is off about Kim Hee Yeon.

Isn't that you, Ji Hyun?

Detective Kang Ji Hyun.

How did she pass away?

Do I have to catch the culprit to settle a grudge...

for me to reach the afterlife?

Do you want to leave that badly?

I just saw something odd.
