(Episode 7)
She's dozing off whenever I see her.
(Nuriro)
She has to get off now.
Well...
Hey...
- Hey. - You still didn't wake her up?
Since you're still on the bus,
you should stay with her until she wakes up.
Pretend that you missed your stop too.
You guys can come back together then.
Use this chance to talk to her. You fool.
Bye. I have to wake her up.
(Juyang 1-Ri)
When did she get off?
Sir, could you stop the bus?
No.
We'll arrive at the next stop soon. You can get off then.
No, I need to get off now.
Did I miss the last bus?
Should I ask Mom to come and get me?
(Juyang 1-Ri)
Taxi!
- You're not getting in? - What?
My mom is coming to get me. I'm sorry.
Okay.
(Juyang 1-Ri)
(Fishing Not Allowed at Juyang Reservoir)
Did she leave already?
I think the last bus stopped running.
She probably took a taxi home, right?
Why did she wake up already?
Sol!
Im Sol!
No.
Sol.
I'm sorry.
Sol.
What's going on?
- What's going on? Get him! - Get him!
Hey!
Let go of me, you jerks!
Let go...
(September 1, 2008, 11:53pm)
(The day of the accident)
Come on, Sol. I asked you to bring the charger.
What? When did she leave?
(Vacant)
It wasn't a car accident.
Why is her umbrella here?
You startled me.
Hey.
What's your problem?
Is Sol home?
No.
By the way, she said she couldn't leave home today.
Where on earth did she go?
- She said she couldn't leave home? - Yes.
She made a big fuss about not leaving the house today.
Several days ago,
she told me to tie her up or something to stop her...
if she wanted to go to a reservoir today.
A reservoir?
What should we do?
I think someone took your phone.
- What's wrong? - I remember my accident scene.
You mean the car accident you told me about before?
The accident was here?
Yes.
I think so.
Are you...
talking about the reservoir where Sol got into a car accident?
A car accident?
What are you talking about? There's not a scar on her.
She was never in an accident?
What? Did she say she was?
Did she have a car accident at a reservoir...
in her dream or something?
Yes, a dream.
I had a bad dream.
In my dream, you were badly injured at the competition.
It was so vivid as if it were real.
What was that?
Yes. I can still run away.
Since I know everything, I can change it.
(Fishing Not Allowed at Juyang Reservoir)
Darn it.
All right.
So someone went missing.
But your gut told you that she might be here. That's it, right?
It's just your gut feeling, right?
Can't you just go out and look for her?
Gosh. Come on.
Is it because there was a murder case here?
Why is everyone saying that...
something bad is going to happen here?
Just go to an Internet café or a karaoke room to look for her.
Gosh...
If I go that way, I'll be at the reservoir.
Then...
Come on.
Wait. Is it September 1 today?
The girl who came to pick up her wallet...
also said something might happen today.
What?
Sol!
Must I accept this...
as my inevitable fate?
Sol!
Are you okay?
Are you okay, kid?
I'm safe.
Where am I now?
Sol.
Are you okay?
Did something happen to you?
Where am I?
Who are you?
Sol!
A woman kissed me on the lips that night.
Was that you, a mere court maid?
No, Your Majesty.
- That was not my intention. - Hey.
I just lost my footing.
- Lower your body. - I had no idea that...
- What? No way. - it was you who...
How unfortunate.
I have a bad temper.
I'm in the Joseon Dynasty?
I can't believe this.
No!
Cut.
No what?
Hey, Assistant Director.
Come on. Get the extra to behave.
I'm sorry.
Let's take ten, everyone!
- What is this? Come on. - This is so annoying.
- What on earth is going on? - All right.
Come over here.
Come on. This isn't your first rodeo.
Our schedule will be delayed even on the New Year's Day.
(January 1, 2023)
It's 2023 right now, right?
We're not in the Joseon Dynasty, right?
What?
Oh, I'm safe.
I'm safe.
What's wrong with her? She must be going crazy.
Seriously? How dare he call you crazy?
Aren't you cold, Sol?
Put this on.
You were great.
Hey, Sol. Why are you crying?
Did he give you a hard time because you messed up?
They changed the storyboard the day before the shoot.
So they asked all the employees at our production company...
for help at the last minute. They should be thanking us.
Seriously. If they wanted decent actors and actresses,
they should've hired extras.
Don't you agree?
But who are you?
What? Who are you talking about?
Me?
What brings you here?
Nice to meet you.
My fate has changed again.
What's wrong?
I kept them safe.
Sol!
What about Sun Jae?
(Ryu Sun Jae)
(Ryu Sun Jae, Profile, Date of Birth, October 20, 1990)
(Photos of my bias Ryu Sun Jae)
(Donation of 50,000 dollars made under the name of Ryu Sun Jae)
Thank you, Sun Jae.
Midnight on January 1, 2023...
on the Hangang Bridge. Don't forget that. Okay?
(Han River)
Am I too late?
Did he go to dig it by himself?
What? It's gone.
Sun Jae.
When did you get here...
without telling me?
Gosh.
Hey. This is not a public bath.
Why do you keep taking a bath here?
Because your bathtub is the best with the view of the nightscape.
Hey. I'll pay rent.
Take me in.
I'll give you one minute. Get out of there.
What?
Who is it?
Hey.
My apologies.
- Hey! - Gosh.
Is it that White Padded Jacket again?
I'd like to file a police report.
My goodness. Wait.
You dropped this.
(Let's grab Sun Jae and run)
Is she Sun Jae's fan?
This one says, "Let's grab and run."
- Excuse me. You dropped this. - I got you.
Pardon?
- Here. - What?
We got a call on breaking and entering.
- I got the perp. - Pardon?
(Let's grab Sun Jae and run)
Thank you for being alive.
What's your name?
Excuse me.
Sun Jae is pretty, isn't he?
She's hopeless.
Excuse me. What is your name?
Your name!
- Pardon? - Your name.
Right.
It's Im Sol.
Hand me your ID card.
What do you do for a living?
I work at a company.
I woke up one day and found myself...
working for a film production company.
In fact, my dream was to be a film director.
It's so interesting.
A choice I made in a moment...
has led to a completely different life.
I couldn't even dare to dream.
But now, I'm chasing my dream.
I knew it. Determination...
can change anyone's fate. Right?
But you can't change your fate...
of going to jail. What now?
For breaking and entering,
you can't avoid getting a penalty if the victim sues you.
So, the initial statement matters. Do you get it?
Breaking and entering?
At a luxurious resident complex,
do you get arrested for standing at the entrance?
"At the entrance?"
You tried to unlock the door of Ryu Sun Jae's apartment.
How did you get a hold of the passcode?
What? Who on earth dared to unlock Sun Jae's house?
Was it a stalker? That's crazy!
What kind of human trash...
And that's you.
I'm not the person.
- You're that crazy human trash. - I...
We can send her away once her ID is confirmed.
The victim won't file a lawsuit.
It'll make a fuss with the articles and all, and he doesn't want that.
You are truly lucky.
Why won't he file a lawsuit?
He should arrest them all, give no room for mercy,
and put them in handcuffs!
For goodness' sake. He's still so tender-minded and kind.
Can you persuade him to sue them?
Yes, Sun Jae. I told the police you won't file a lawsuit.
I made sure there wouldn't be news going out.
- Okay. - But why aren't you...
- Why aren't you calling him? - Forget it and go home.
- Let me go inside again. - No.
Gosh. Why?
She must be the White Padded Jacket.
She looks normal, but she's a stalker.
Gosh. I think I saw her before.
Why aren't you suing her?
You have to give her a tough lesson so that she won't do it again.
What is this?
You are done with the bath. Why are you still here?
Do you think I came here for the bath?
I heard you turned down the film all of a sudden.
Mr. Kim is a nervous wreck right now.
He forced me to persuade you.
Try reading it yourself and see if you'd be persuaded.
You're so picky.
"Hero!" The title is nice too.
Is it about a Korean-style hero?
A hero, my foot.
What? What is it about?
A mermaid from the sea...
crosses the Imjin River and meets a North Korean military officer.
And they fall in love, right?
Suddenly, a zombie virus spreads.
The North Korean officer and the mermaid kill the zombies.
I see. It's an action-filled blockbuster.
No. It's a sci-Fi drama.
The North Korean officer is actually an alien.
The story goes way too far to the outer space.
Sun Jae!
The stalker who tried to break and enter.
What now?
She's so... I need to catch my breath.
She's so vicious.
Why? Did she go on a rampage in front of the cops?
- Scooch over. - What?
In fact,
I think she works for this film production company.
- What? - She was the one...
who gave me the script when I visited the company.
I remember her clearly.
Why would she try to break into Sun Jae's place?
It's obvious. She wanted to attack him...
out of spite because he turned the movie down.
Or she is a real stalker.
You know, some get into the entertainment business...
to be close to the one they like.
I think we have to be extra careful.
Everything has changed.
Right. The watch.
Right. I wouldn't have kept it...
because I wasn't his fan.
I no longer have a reason to go back anyway,
so I don't need it.
Yes.
It's all for the better.
It's all good.
Sol!
What was that dream?
- Grandma. - Hello, ma'am.
Even when you can turn back time,
you're still helpless because you can't stop time from passing.
What's so funny, Grandma?
You're ugly.
You look like a baby octopus.
What?
What? I look pretty.
Have you seen a baby octopus this pretty?
Baby octopus
These are pretty.
My pumpkin's legs have been cured.
- What? - You're walking.
Grandma, do you remember it?
Do you remember that I couldn't walk...
and that I was in a wheelchair?
Don't go out.
Play with me.
Sister.
She can't do that.
She'd get fired from work.
Mal Ja, why don't you come and have some snacks?
Snack time.
Here's your snack.
Why aren't you leaving for work?
What?
Right. I should get going.
Actually, Mom.
That guy...
who abducted me in the past.
What happened to him after that?
Why do you ask?
It's nothing. I don't remember what happened clearly.
What happened to him?
He got arrested and went to jail, of course.
He got arrested.
What a relief.
Gosh. Why do you bring back what happened 14 years ago?
Come on and get going.
Did you say 14 years ago?
Wasn't it 15 years ago?
Hurry.
- Right. I'll get going. - All right.
Hey. You forgot your car key.
Here.
My car?
Yes. Gosh.
- I'll get going. - Sure.
Drive safely!
Bye.
She didn't even want to talk about it.
Why does she bring it up suddenly?
Gosh. This is crazy.
You're my sweet ride!
But will I...
be able to drive?
Yes. I'm an exemplary driver who hasn't had a single accident...
since getting the Class 1 driver's license in 1 try.
I can do it.
What?
Why am I such a good driver?
Gosh. This is awesome!
- Good morning. - Good morning.
- Hello. - Hi.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
My goodness!
- Good morning! - Good morning.
Hello.
Gosh.
(Hero)
Good morning.
I just saw something horrendous to in see in the morning.
Well. Boss wants to see you.
She is angry like this.
It really wasn't me.
Stop it.
I heard that you were taken to the police office.
He's dropping the film because of you. What now?
I was in front of the building, indeed.
But the police mistook me as a stalker and took me in.
- Really? - Yes.
I couldn't pass the entrance.
Why did you go there to cause such a misunderstanding?
I'll schedule a meeting, then.
You explain to him yourself and get the record straight.
We really need to cast Sun Jae.
Pardon?
Do I meet him in person?
I mean, Sun Jae?
(Hero)
Sun Jae.
Who are you?
Do you...
not remember me?
Do we know each other?
He's not here yet, is he?
Why are you crying?
- Something got in my eyes. - What?
I'll wash it quickly.
No. She...
Are you going to cry like a lunatic in front of Sun Jae?
(Hyun Ju)
Hello?
What's wrong, Hyun Ju?
I couldn't reach anyone.
Please come quickly!
What's going on?
I'm in a taxi to the hospital.
It'll come out soon.
What do you mean? What is coming out?
My baby, of course!
My water broke!
Your baby?
Oh, no!
I'm on my way. Where are you?
Yes.
We stepped out of the rehearsal for a second.
Try to hold it in.
I can't keep a baby from coming out!
Which hospital is it?
Sun Jae!
I'm on my way.
What?
- Excuse me! - What was that?
Are you just leaving after pushing someone into the water?
What?
Oh, my! I'm so sorry.
I'm all over the place.
Hold on.
- The White Padded Jacket? - What?
Hyun Ju.
I'm so sorry,
but I'm in a hurry.
Call me. I'll make compensation.
- I'm so sorry. - How...
Hey!
Hyun Ju, take a deep breath.
Keep breathing, okay?
Sun Jae.
Are you all right?
- I don't know. - Gosh.
Sun Jae.
She is the one. The one from the film company.
What?
She's unbelievable.
She did this on purpose, didn't she?
Even on a bullet train, people can recognize you.
Of course, it was deliberate.
I know what it is.
Because you turned down her film,
she did this to get back to you.
Gosh.
Do you want to call her and call names?
Forget it.
Make sure she pays for my clothes because she said she would,
including the cost of the underwear. Okay?
- Even the underwear? - Gosh. It's cold.
That's so childish.
- Gosh, it's Ryu Sun Jae! - It's Ryu Sun Jae!
- Sun Jae? - Sun Jae!
You're amazing! You're so hot!
Sun Jae!
My husband is making me go through this again. That jerk!
I'm going to kill him!
Who is he? I'll kill him for you!
Bring Im Geum here.
Hurry!
What? Im Geum?
Honey!
Hyun Ju!
Why are you just showing up now, you jerk?
I'm sorry. I turned my phone off during a meeting.
It'll be all right since I'm here.
What do you mean it's all right?
You trash, when did you seduce my friend?
Why are you doing that to my husband?
What on earth did I change?
How did you two get married and have a child?
Mom!
It's you, Aunt.
Aunt!
Oh, my. The second child is surely coming out faster...
- than the 1st. - "The 2nd child?"
Yes. The second child.
The second child?
I'm sorry.
I'm glad to hear it was a smooth delivery.
Sun Jae didn't come anyway.
They said something happened on his way here or something.
What happened?
An accident?
No way. It's just an excuse.
Should I visit him and apologize?
Never mind. The CEO will take care of him.
She wants you to back off.
I understand.
We will never bump into each other anymore.
(Total price: 7,180 dollars)
(Please deposit the corresponding amount to the account.)
The total is 718 dollars?
Why is it so expensive?
Wait.
It's 7,180 dollars?
It's 7,180?
Who is it?
Hello.
I'm sending a text as you're not answering calls.
First of all,
I'd like to sincerely apologize for making you experience...
such an unpleasant incident due to my mistake.
But there's something I'd like to check...
regarding the compensation for the clothing.
Did he really charge her for my underwear too?
I can't even joke with him.
Forget about it. I just hope I never cross paths with you again.
Actually, I was so flustered...
that I didn't get a good look at you earlier.
I'd like to know if you were actually wearing these clothes.
What?
(Forget about it. I just hope I never cross paths with you again.)
I would've been okay with paying the laundry expense, but this?
The underwear is as much as 400 dollars?
Do I look like I'm trying to scam you for money?
Of course not.
I thought I had to check because it's a lot of money.
I'm sorry, but can you send me...
a photo of you wearing the outfit today...
or the wet clothes?
She's rude in a very polite way.
I'm sure you'll never do something like that,
but there are so many people who scam others like this.
I'd appreciate it if you could do it.
How can she treat me like a scammer?
Let's go, Sun...
- What are you doing? - What?
Right. What am I doing?
What? An article has been released.
They didn't even edit the photo nicely.
("Ryu Sun Jae Looks Like He's Modelling Even When He Falls")
When was this taken?
Forget about compensation.
File a lawsuit right now. Okay?
He isn't even replying.
Did my request to take a picture make him feel guilty?
I knew it.
He tried to take money from me but failed.
My goodness.
Hey, our baby is so cute, taking after me, right?
You have no conscience.
You're sleeping soundly.
(Place to Meet Babies)
I didn't know you became a father.
It's been a long time.
It's just that I thought you'd still want to become an actor...
if I hadn't been injured.
When you gain something, you lose something.
Happiness always comes with a cost.
He must be so happy, right?
- Sorry? - He was just a silly guy.
I didn't know he would become a superstar.
(Newborn Intensive Care Unit Donation Ceremony)
He donated as much as one million dollars?
He must have a lot of money, right?
You shouldn't have let him go back then.
What do you mean I shouldn't have let him go?
I should've been nice to him.
Then Sun Jae could've been the uncle of my children.
Gosh.
Baby, I'm sorry.
By the way, did you really stop contacting him after that incident?
"That incident?"
Why don't you visit him before it's too late?
He had a crush on you.
You never know.
Those old feelings might resurface if he sees you again.
Don't come.
You're making me feel burdened and uncomfortable.
So please...
stop liking me.
How dare I show my face and approach him first?
(Give your skin the gift of rest.)
(Skin pure)
Sun Jae, thank you for living.
I'm glad you're alive.
I'm overflowing with happiness.
I really mean it.
Everything is in the right place, but...
Sol.
I like you a lot.
I miss you.
Look at the camera now. Come on. Smile.
Come on. Try it.
Today is expected to be clear and sunny across the country.
Temperature during the daytime will reach up to 1°C,
going back to the average temperature.
The eastern regions, currently under a dry warning,
are expected to experience even drier conditions...
and slightly strong winds.
Small sparks can grow into larger fires.
So be cautious of wildfires and house fires...
- when using heating devices. - What is this?
Hello?
Yes. That's me.
Sorry?
Where is it again?
"I promise not to come within 100m..."
"of the victim, Ryu Sun Jae,"
"or his residence."
"If I break this promise..."
I'm not really the stalker.
You should've stayed still.
Why did you call him to apologize...
and push him into the fountain?
Excuse me?
That was Sun Jae?
What's my problem?
My eyes are useless.
He was really going to sue you,
but he decided to give you the last chance.
Sign the document and finish it already.
All right.
(Im Sol)
By the way, regarding 100m,
is it a straight-line distance or a walking distance?
Come on.
Stop talking and sign it.
He was busy preparing for a concert that day,
yet he made time to go and ended up in an unpleasant situation.
If they acknowledge you had a malicious intent,
- you may be subject to... - Wait.
He was preparing for a concert?
He must've had a concert at the end of the year already.
(Eclipse concert)
(2023 Eclipse Full-Member Concert, "The 1st Encounter and...")
It was postponed?
(Enjoy the food and the concert!)
(Look at us only.)
(I love you, Ryu Sun Jae.)
Excuse me.
I work for the production company for the film where Mr. Ryu appears.
I have an urgent business.
Can you let me in for a moment?
Do you have a ticket?
No, I don't.
You're not allowed to enter without a ticket.
Gosh.
Sorry? Where are you again?
I'm Sun Jae's friend.
I came to meet him and apologize in person.
There's something I should check too.
Can you please spare me some time?
Hey, you wrote a restraining agreement, didn't you?
I did, but...
Come on.
Don't you think it'll be more sincere...
to apologize in person, face to face?
Look at him on TV.
Please don't come within 100m of him as the agreement states.
Show your sincerity.
Can I talk with him while keeping a distance of 100m from him then?
Please.
Hello? Sorry, you can't.
Hello?
(Exchange and Customer Service)
What do I do?
My goodness.
Sun Jae, the woman from the production company is crazy.
She claimed she's your friend and begged me to let her meet you.
Should I just let her in?
Do you want to see her face...
- and tell her off? - Are you out of your mind?
Go out and say this to her.
We're filing a lawsuit against you tomorrow. Do you understand?
Just a moment.
Tell him my name at least then.
Im Sol. It's my name.
He'll remember if he hears it. It'll clear the misunderstandings.
So just please...
trust me and tell him. Okay?
Sure. I trust you. So go back...
and wait for the complaint.
Hey!
I'm begging you like this!
Sun Jae.
I guess he's on standby already.
My goodness.
It has started already.
I didn't want it to stop
On the day you first came to me
I didn't want you to be the rain that soaks me wet only momentarily
I've prayed so hard
Do you know how I feel?
I've dreamt of you every day
My heart is soaked in you again
You are a gift
From the sky
When you're all alone in this world, I'll protect you
They didn't say it was going to snow.
This is the first snow of the season.
Sun Jae must be thrilled.
The same thing happened that day.
No way. It's impossible.
It can't be.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
(Han River)
Don't come, Sun Jae.
You're the last person he met...
before he died last night.
Please don't come here.
(Han River)
He would've passed by already.
Did he just go?
It's a relief then.
Hello?
This is me.
You can't come like this.
It's been a while.
Yes. It's been a while.
Yes.
Why are you standing here like this?
Is your car broken?
No.
I was waiting for you.
How did you know I would come here?
I thought you would come.
But I hoped you wouldn't come.
What if I didn't see you?
You haven't changed.
Shall we go somewhere and have a cup of tea?
Is it too late?
No, I'm fine.
Sun Jae.
I'm very sorry to interrupt you,
but everyone is calling me...
to ask why you aren't coming to the after-party.
- You should hurry up and go. - I can't let him go like this.
Just a second.
No, don't go.
You can't go.
What?
So what I want to say is...
Sun Jae.
Let's stay together tonight.
Let's spend the night together.
(Special thanks to Yoon Jin Young for his cameo appearance)
(Lovely Runner)
She told Sun Jae to spend the night together.
Where are we going?
A place where we can be alone together quietly.
I'm not going home tonight.
I'll be sleeping over. Don't worry.
What kind of person is that?
Okay. Let's say the fate has changed.
But how can you be sure the new life is better than the old one?
When I meet you again someday,
I wanted to tell you...
that I also liked you.
So what you're saying is...
you had the same feelings as me.
How about now?
