(in this drama are fictitious.)

(Year 1999)

I now told you everything I need to explain.

If I help you out,

will you really be able to make a better world...

like you just explained?

Of course.

But how exactly are you going to help me?

I'll help your experiment become a success...

and show it to the entire world.

(Episode 1: The Origin of Cryogenics)

(July 28, 1999, 02:17:43)

You are now witnessing...

the beginning of not only Korea, but the world's...

first-ever cryonics experiment.

The glass of the frozen capsule that you're looking at right now...

was made of polycarbonate which can withstand...

150 times more impact than tempered glass.

And this frozen capsule...

was made with a new material called Teratanium.

As you can see, there are a total of six frozen capsules.

This cryonics experiment...

is being carried out with the consent of the subjects.

And 4 out of the 6 subjects’ identities...

will be kept confidential.

Therefore, the actual subjects of this experiment...

are inside these two frozen capsules...

The experiment hour is exactly 24 hours.

1 of the 2 subjects of this experiment...

is Director Ma Dong Chan...

who first planned this program.

And the other is...

Wait. Let me change the battery.

Okay.

Are they going to be okay?

Of course. In 23 hours and 31 minutes,

we'll be a legend.

Okay.

Hyun Gi!

Why would you bring it now?

Mi Ran waited for this so much.

I'll have to give it to her when she wakes up tomorrow.

It took a while to get all four's autographs.

Good work.

Let's continue.

By the way, is it okay for Mi Ran's face to be on air?

Yes, she gave permission.

A little closer.

Hello?

Is this Mi Ran?

Yes.

Hello. This is Mario Electronics. You had an interview with us before.

Oh, yes.

Thank you very much for applying.

No problem. It was a matter of course.

Mi Ran. Thank you for your interest in our company,

but you did not pass the interview.

I'm sorry.

It's fine. It's not your fault that I didn't get the job.

I'm actually a manager at the HR department.

It was also my opinion.

I won't forget the Chinese song you sang.

Why won't you forget?

Just forget it.

Also, if you're going to give a call like this again,

you can just send a text.

I'm not exactly happy to receive a call like this.

- I don't even have time... - Okay. Bye.

Seriously.

She only called to go on a power trip.

There must've been so little people who didn't pass...

that she calls every one of them.

It's annoying.

So you're saying you sang a Chinese song?

In an interview?

That is just crazy.

Because I applied to a foreign division.

Do you have any idea how big Chinese market is?

Is that why you sang a Chinese song?

Why didn't you just sing a pop song?

I told you to major in English.

She majored in Chinese because she was crazy about Leslie Cheung.

Chinese is going to be the trend.

You'll see.

- I'm going to do this. - Goodness.

Just go on a blind date after you graduate and get married.

Never ever.

Good job.

- Aren't I good? - My goodness.

Who is it?

Eat up.

Hello?

Mi Ran. You got a call from a broadcasting station.

Hurry up and answer.

You...

Mi Ran.

Yes?

Are you going to the broadcasting station?

Yes.

Can I go with you?

Not today.

I promise you to take you next time.

Mi Ran.

What?

When you go to the broadcasting station,

get me Fin.K.L's autograph.

Okay. I'll make sure to get it.

Really?

Yes, really. Pinky swear.

Pinky swear.

Nam Tae.

Promise me one thing too.

If anyone ever bullies you again,

you must tell me, okay?

Yes.

You must.

Pinky swear again.

Pinky swear.

By the way, Mi Ran.

What do you do in the broadcasting station?

("Infinite Experiment Paradise")

(Water Rocket Experiment)

Here. In the center.

Yes. That's good.

What? Up there?

You want me to film up there?

I think so.

It's fine. I'll go up.

Let's do this.

- Director Ma. - Hello.

- Director Ma. - Are you going to do it yourself?

Yes.

Let's start. Hurry.

We're going to start now.

Go there and hit the slate.

Go.

Ready.

Ready.

- Ready. - 1, 2.

Ready.

Go.

Cut. Okay.

Next is the Variety Show Producer Award.

Tony An of H.O.T. will present the award.

('99 Korea Broadcasting Award Variety Show Producer Award)

Hello. I'm Tony An of H.O.T.

Nice to meet you.

I'm getting more nervous about it.

Then I'll announce the winner.

'99 Korea Broadcasting Award.

Variety Show Producer Award.

The winner is...

Director Ma Dong Chan of "Infinite Experiment Paradise".

- Congratulations. - Congratulations.

(Director Ma Dong Chan of "Infinite Experiment Paradise")

Well done.

Congratulations.

"Infinite Experiment Paradise" combined...

the elements of variety shows.

It caught three hares by adding reality and information...

in a variety show.

It opened a new chapter for variety show.

It set a new record of the highest viewer rating of 41.3 percent.

It opened a new era of variety show.

In the Festival in Germany,

it also received the Grand Award for non-drama section.

Executive Producer Ma Dong Chan is...

- on the stage to receive the award. - Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Oh, my.

He's got the look.

Thank you.

Since this award was given to me by the viewers,

I will be brazen and take it right away.

Above all,

I thank many of our test subjects...

who gladly participated in the difficult experiments.

And I wish to thank...

my girlfriend who is always beside me.

Mr. Ma, please don't leave yet.

After the success of your first project,

your second project was also a mega-hit.

What kind of a program do you have in mind next?

I'm thinking of making a program...

that no one else would want to do, something that only I must do.

Is your girlfriend here?

That's...

(Variety Director of the Year, Ma Dong Chan)

Really?

The narrator of "Infinite Experiment Paradise",

Announcer Na Ha Young is bringing some flowers for him.

- Congratulations. - Thanks.

This is my girlfriend.

Yes, Ha Young.

Oh, well.

He just fell asleep.

So what? You're going to do the experiment yourself?

You're going to go into the capsule?

I read his paper for 3 nights and 4 days.

And I saw the video of the experiment too.

This is revolutionary.

I don't care if it's something more important than that.

The documentary team is saying it's reckless. This is nonsense!

That's exactly why I'm doing this. Because it's reckless.

I have to do this because no one else is doing it.

You must be insane.

Ha Young, I'm not just making a TV program.

It's a historical mission. Someone has to do this.

Okay, fine.

But why does it have to be you?

You can use another test subject if you must.

How can the director do the experiment on himself?

Freezing people?

I can't believe this.

Ha Young.

Please trust me. I never failed, not even once.

You really aren't...

concerned about me, are you?

I have something to show you.

This video is from a month ago.

After the freezing experiment, the dolphin is healthier...

and is in a better biorhythm than before.

That's a dolphin, not a person.

We're both mammals.

Ha Young, I'm perfectly healthy. So don't worry about it.

You easily get cold.

You don't turn on the air conditioner even in summer,

and you hate taking a shower with cold water.

I mean, look at you.

How can you be frozen for 24 hours?

That's not even possible.

Just 24 hours.

Can you wait for me for just 24 hours? Please?

Dong Chan, here's the problem.

We don't have any female volunteer who wants to participate.

You're looking for another participant?

Yes.

I mean, if the director does this alone,

people may say that it was fabricated.

Above all, I need a female subject whose body structure is different...

for my experiment to be more trustworthy.

Who would ever do that? I mean, unless they're crazy.

Exactly. Is there anyone who's crazy among our colleagues?

How can you joke around right now?

Wait, Hyun Gi, what about her? The one who did the water rocket.

- What about her? - Oh, Mi Ran?

That's her name?

Come on, what's with you?

She does the experiments as if she has 10 lives.

How can you still not memorize her name?

She's the number one contributor for our program.

She does all the difficult experiments.

Come on, keep it up!

Can you fly by using balloons?

In a buffet, how much food can you pile on a dish?

It took her three weeks to heal from spraining her leg...

when she tried to pull an eight-ton truck with a tire,

but she returned in three days for the strong wind experiment.

She's that persistent.

Oh, so you're asking me...

to be frozen, isn't that right?

I mean, we aren't playing freeze tag.

You're telling me to really be frozen.

You're right.

Unbelievable.

Do you know why I participated in such absurd experiments?

Well, do you want to be a part in the progress of broadcasting...

- of this country... - Why would I want to do that?

You might say I wanted to challenge myself to things others don't do.

No way.

It was because of money.

No one wanted to do those experiments,

so I did it because you offered me a lot of money.

Man, this is really sad and heartbreaking.

Everyone works for money. Me too.

I often felt like my human rights were completely violated.

It was like that on the human rocket experiment.

After that day,

I keep having a dream that I drop from the sky to the ground.

And yesterday in my dream, I went through the ground...

and fell into the mantle underground,

then completely burned to death.

If you burn to death in your dream, it means good luck.

I will...

never be a part of an experiment of "Infinite Experiment Paradise".

You think I'm a joke because I worked hard?

You're telling me to be frozen?

Mi Ran, it's a misunderstanding. It's not like that!

Do you think I'm a frozen fish?

Mi Ran, hear me out before you get angry.

It's a really safe experiment. I can prove it too.

Safe? You can prove it?

- Yes. - This is unbelievable.

I can't believe that director who only has a pretty face.

If it's that safe, he can do it himself.

Tell him to do it himself!

He's doing it himself.

He's participating himself.

He's going into the capsule for 24 hours.

He's completely insane, just as I expected.

Five thousand dollars.

You can meet the doctor and talk to him.

You might change your mind.

What doctor?

What do you think? Do you trust the experiment now?

No way. That has to be fabricated.

I plan on publishing this on the "Science" magazine.

It cannot be fabricated.

Do you know why the fish in the South Pole never freeze?

It's because of the cryoprotective protein that the fish has...

which prevents them from getting frozen.

But there is a limit to the amount of protein...

we can get from the fish.

That's why I created a new type of compound cryoprotective protein...

that prevents...

the modification of fatty acid.

This special protein will minimize cytolysis...

when the human gets defrosted.

It's the core technology in raising the percentage of survival.

You created that yourself?

I did.

Then no one else other than you can defrost me?

Currently, I am the only person who can defrost...

a human when they are frozen.

That's why Dong Chan proposed this program.

And on top of that, he's participating in the experiment.

Mi Ran, please consider our offer in a positive light, please?

Thanks for showing me this.

But still, I'm not doing this.

Mi Ran. Mi Ran!

She's very bold.

Goodness.

- Dong Chan. - Yes?

- It's Ko Mi Ran. - What did she say?

She said she won't do it,

but she agreed to discuss it with a professional.

A professional?

I need to make a really big decision soon.

What should I do?

What kind of decision?

You're a fortune teller.

You should know that before I tell you.

Should I do it or not?

How much is the pay?

- 5,000 dollars. - What?

What's there to think about? You should take the offer.

Should I do it instead?

My gosh, come on!

I'm here because...

I came to ask if it'll be okay for me to take the job.

And you're telling me to do it just because it pays good money?

How could you say that as a fortune teller?

Are you sure you can read the future?

Are you doubting me right now?

Let's be honest here. You used to sell insurance.

And you suddenly opened this place saying you got possessed.

Is this place even registered as a legitimate business?

Hey!

There's no need to doubt that.

She got possessed by a baby ghost.

She's really good at fortune telling.

Last time, she told me to be careful of fire in May.

And on May 5, Children's Day,

I almost got hit by a fire truck.

What does that have anything to do with fire?

You should've watched out for cars, you idiot.

- It's regarding fire, you stupid! - I mean...

You little brats! Hey!

Tell me your date of birth and time.

I was born at 2:35am on February 14, 1976.

Just for your information, she mostly handles adultery.

She's a fortune teller who specializes in love.

I see something big.

I see this huge ball of luck coming your way.

It's really one of a kind.

I've never seen this kind of luck...

during my entire life as a fortune teller.

Does that mean I should take the offer?

Take the offer no matter what.

Your life will change completely. Just do it!

Okay, I get it.

Then when exactly will my golden days come?

20 years later,

you'll meet the love of your life,

and that's when you'll meet your ball of luck.

But before that, it's going to be really cold.

"20 years later"?

20 years later, I'll be 44 years old.

I need to keep living like this until then?

I won't get a job, and I won't have any money?

Does Mi Ran have a boyfriend?

I think she does.

He once followed her to the filming site.

Oh, really?

Then she might not be able to do it.

- Why? - Her boyfriend will be against it.

What kind of guy would let his girlfriend...

participate in an experiment like this?

What? What is it?

No, it's nothing.

I feel very confident about this experiment,

but other people will definitely think I'm crazy.

That's why I'm having such a hard time trying to convince people.

At least you know that people think you're crazy.

Of course. That's exactly why I'm participating in this experiment.

I wouldn't do it if everyone was convinced about it.

Are you that confident that it'll work?

Yes.

Why? Do you also have doubts about it?

I mean, I'm not saying I'm not confident.

But I'm not exactly that sure about it either.

Maybe it's because I majored in Korean Literature.

But I'm having a hard time trying to understand...

the concept of this entire experiment.

You don't deserve to be the assistant director of this program.

I want you to reread the materials and get your mind straight.

If you're still not convinced about this experiment,

- I want you out of the project. - No, wait!

Dong Chan, I'm totally convinced.

- Right? - Yes.

Then you should do it too. Let's both enter the capsule.

My gosh, that's...

Then who's going to be in charge of the shoot?

Plus, I get cold really easily.

I have a weak immune system, so it's easy for me to catch a cold.

That's not even funny.

I know, right?

By the way, did Mi Ran talk about it...

with a professional?

She won't reply to my texts.

She keeps avoiding me.

Who exactly is that professional?

A fortune teller.

Oh, a fortune... A fortune teller?

What's wrong with her?

What?

If she doesn't do it, you can take her place.

My gosh, come on.

But there's one thing that bothers me.

Back when Professor Hwang studied biology in the States,

his supervising professor apparently got murdered.

But the problem is...

that Professor Hwang refuses to talk about that...

even though I asked him...

about his supervising professor numerous times.

He never mentioned that during the interview either.

Something feels odd. I should look into this.

Hey, Ha Young.

Let's meet in front of the theatre. I'll go once I'm done recording.

Okay, see you later.

My gosh, that's disgusting. Don't bite your nails.

Let's go inside.

So what did the fortune teller say about your future?

She told me I'll meet the love of my life after 20 years.

"20 years"?

Then are you saying I need to wait for 20 years?

As a psychology major, I personally think...

fortune-telling is a business...

that uses people's weak mentality to make money.

Because people are weak, we created a deity.

And fortune tellers are merely a by-product...

of the deity that we created.

All you need to do is trust me.

Okay.

By the way, did you start teaching Professor Kim's daughter?

Yes, we already finished two lessons last weekend.

How is she?

She's a homo sapiens...

who's more familiar with using her body than her brain.

I'll just have to put in a lot of work.

- Let's go inside. - Okay.

Do you have a boyfriend?

No.

None of the guys impress me.

You'll think differently once you start dating someone.

I knew that love would eventually...

become a memory of the past just like the other memories.

But that didn't happen with you.

I'd like to thank you for allowing me to leave...

with so much love in my heart.

How beautiful.

How beautiful.

This is what Freud once said.

"Unexpressed emotions will never die."

"They are buried alive..."

"and will come forth later in uglier ways.”

Why does Freud always make things sound so hard?

If he kept things nice and simple, his books would sell a lot more.

It means you should always...

be honest with your emotions instead of suppressing them.

Let's...

kiss each other...

until we break our front teeth.

Nam Tae, what are you doing there?

Were you waiting for me?

Okay, let's go inside.

I have a question.

Why do you live such a difficult life?

There's always an easier route.

Why do you always try to do things that other people don't do?

I...

do what my heart tells me to do.

Whatever that is.

I listen to my heart rather than my brain.

Until now and that's how it will be.

So at the moment I die,

I wouldn't regret.

The reason I love you...

is so.

Promise me...

to come back alive.

From the experiment.

Yes, I promise.

By the way, Hyun Gi.

- Aren't you curious? - About what?

That.

It's none of your business.

Who knows? Freddie Mercury might be lying there...

or the former president.

Why don't you just become a writer?

I'm so curious.

Should I go take a look at it?

Take a look?

Goodness.

What do you think you're doing?

Oh, I...

I thought I made it very clear.

Well...

I was too curious.

Can't you just tell me?

I won't tell anyone else.

Do you want to stop shooting?

No. I'm sorry.

Hey. We need to organize the tapes.

Where are you?

Doctor.

Doctor.

Johnson. Johnson. Doctor Johnson.

Johnson.

Cryonics?

That's for documentary,

not variety show.

Haven't you noticed a paradigm shift in shows?

The borderline between variety shows and documentary is falling.

That means a variety show director could film a drama one day.

Nonsense. Is that possible?

What is the drama director going to do?

Sir.

Variety shows should no longer be for entertainment only.

I'm doing the cryonics experiment no matter what.

Gosh.

It's the first project...

that no TV show has ever tried in the world.

I know that.

I see what you're getting at.

Yes, it's good.

But Director Ma. Let's just stay with what we normally did.

The energy of the whole universe is focused on you.

Every time you touch it, it becomes a hit.

Even a commercial was sold out under a director's name.

Let's just stay with a soft one.

That's the show the broadcasting station...

and the public wants.

(Kim Hong Suk)

Don't you agree?

Sir.

I believe at least one broadcasting station must...

accept the fate of creating a show with a sense of duty.

The moment you feel a sense of duty, you become a fool.

Someone's got to become a fool.

That one fool can awaken the nation.

Don't you need a fool who cares about...

the value of a show rather than money?

Why do we have to be that fool?

Because no one wants to.

See? Why do you think no one wants to?

It's our fate.

It's not that they didn't. They couldn't.

Sure. Fine.

Then what about the budget?

Who would sponsor such project?

Good. That's the essence of this show.

What that doctor needs right now is...

the nation's cheer and the national support.

Our station will play as the catalyst.

I'm saying let's develop cryonics technology...

without foreign capital.

Sure. About that doctor,

many places are against him...

for human rights reasons.

What if things go wrong and be marked by the government?

Gosh!

- I knew it. - Director Ma.

What did you say?

Hey, Ma Dong Chan! Are you out of your mind!

Hong Suk. You think fair media...

worries about the government? That's authority's dog.

What? Dog?

Because you always lay low,

you do nothing but sitting behind the desk.

Hong Suk. Let's have our own identity please!

Why are you so worried?

What? What did you say?

If our show makes the world a better place...

even for a little,

that's what we should do.

I believe as many people as possible...

should watch this cryonics project and learn.

Why?

Because it's a revolution to Korea's biotechnology.

In order to do that, we need the nation's interest.

This is going to be legend.

It's going to be history.

Hong Suk. Let's record...

that history.

Legend?

Dear Chief Director.

Let's show the power of Korean broadcasting.

Just trust and follow me.

Trust me.

Dong Chan. That was awesome. You're the best.

Remember.

A director is not just a cameraman.

We must not forget our sense of duty as a creator.

Sincerity over money and honour. Got it?

Sincerity. I'll keep that in mind.

Dong Chan. About Mi Ran.

- Ko Mi Ran. - Ko Mi Ran?

The cryonics experiment subject...

- candidate. - Oh, the water rocket.

She said no.

No matter how much you persuade?

She said no firmly and decisively.

Because it could be life-threatening.

We must do whatever it takes to persuade her.

Nothing works.

She said no even if the sky falls.

Hyun Gi. This is the greatest thing that could make the sky fall.

Where is she now?

She said she's going to follow her friend taking a profile photo.

Why does she do that?

Where is her friend taking a profile photo?

I'll go meet her in person and persuade her.

('99 X Generation Popular Songs)

- That's good. - Be sexy.

- Sexy? - 1, 2, 3.

What a scene.

Come on. Put more effort.

I'm going to send it to the matchmaking company.

Oh, that's right.

My arms hurt. Mi Ran, can you take the pictures?

Just do whatever you can.

Okay, fine.

I'll pay you a dollar per hour.

The minimum wage is 1.525 dollars.

Fine, I'll pay you two dollars per hour,

and I'll throw in some chicken and beer after we're done. Okay?

Hey, lose the flowers.

Come on, show me a smile.

Yes, over here. Stand over here.

Okay? Right there.

- Right here? - Okay, I'll take it.

In 1, 2, 3.

Kimchi!

What's wrong? Did you take it?

Wait.

Gosh, darn it.

Hey, where is she?

Are you sure this is the park?

When I called her half an hour ago, she said she was here.

- Mi Ran! - You're dead, you jerk!

- Stop! - Mi Ran!

Hey, Mi Ran!

Mi Ran... Hey, Mi Ran! Mi Ran!

- What are you going to do? - Hey!

- Mi Ran! - What are you doing?

Hwang Byung Sim! Stop right there!

Oh, my gosh. Isn't that Byung Sim?

Who's that woman?

You're dead.

Hey, where are you going?

She must be insane. Goodness.

- Hey, step on it. - What?

- What? - Step on it!

- Step on it! - Step on it!

You! Hwang Byung Sim!

Mi Ran... Oh, no.

Mi Ran? Mi Ran!

- Mi Ran! - What's going on?

Darn it.

- Mi Ran. - Byung Sim.

- What are you doing here? - What?

Hey, step on it.

Why? What's going on?

Just step on it!

Hurry up.

- Hey, step on it! - Step on it!

Stop right there!

Byung Sim, stop right there!

Come on, step on it.

- You! - You!

- Hey! - You!

- Stop! - Freud once said this.

You're dead!

- You jerk! - Step on it!

- You, stop right there. - You jerk.

- You're dead. - Stop right there!

Hey, Mi Ran.

What are you doing?

Hey, are you insane?

What if you fall in the water?

Don't try to stop me.

I'm a human rocket that soared up 30m into the air.

I'll kill both of you today.

Hey, get closer!

- My gosh! - My gosh!

Let's just talk it out. This is wrong. Let's talk it out.

- What's going on? - What's happening?

What is she doing?

Oh, gosh.

Dong Chan!

Help me! I won't do that...

- Help me! - Can you do that?

Hello? Is this the police?

There's this crazy woman who chased after us,

and she kicked my boyfriend in the face, trying to kill him.

Please come quickly.

- Help me! - Is that guy whom she kicked...

her boyfriend?

- Help! - I think so.

Man, is that what she's really like?

Look at how much anger she has in her heart.

She definitely needs to go somewhere cold to cool down.

She's a perfect candidate for the cryonics experiment.

Don't you think so?

Don't you?

- Oh, sure. Right. - Yes.

That was tough.

The guy, your name?

Hwang Byung...

What? Byung Shin?

Darn it.

Byung Sim, not Shin.

Oh, Sim.

Just as we expected, her boyfriend must have had an affair.

Are you saying this woman is the only one who beat up this man?

Yes, I'm telling you.

That crazy woman beat up my boyfriend to death.

That idiot, Byung Sim.

This is so frustrating.

Why did you beat him up?

You tell him yourself.

What? Okay.

Freud once said this.

"If your desires are suppressed, your unconscious mind..."

"will cause you to do the unexpected."

Freud, Pink Floyd, forget them and tell him what you think.

I had an affair.

- What? - You crazy idiot.

Mr. Hwang, you're the one who's at fault.

Mi Ran, please hear me out.

I love you.

But I have so many identities within me.

And one of them is this dark evil that is within me...

Did I hit you in the wrong place?

This drives me insane too.

I'm such a hot-blooded guy in his 20s, so I end up doing this.

Life is short, and there are too many pretty women out there.

- Freud said... - You're insane. Unbelievable.

Stop turning Freud into a punk and just shut your mouth!

Let us overcome this hardship together.

Please? You love me too.

You're happy to be with me, don't you?

Mr. Hwang, what about me?

When I'm done with her,

- I'll talk to you. - Okay.

Why did I never realize that you're like this?

So why did you come to the park?

- What? - If you hadn't come,

we would be in peace right now.

You're unbelievable!

Darn it. Hey!

Why do you keep hitting him?

Didn't you say you're taking the college entrance exam this year?

- Aren't you underage? - This is my fifth retake.

I'm probably older than you.

What are you going to do? Are you going to settle the case?

Mr. Hwang. Hey, Byung Sim, don't settle the case.

A girl like her needs to learn her lesson.

- People keep settling the case... - Listen to her.

and she keeps making more victims like you.

How dare you cry?

Hey, stop crying.

Did Freud tell you to cry in times like these?

May I leave?

Do I have to wait here until he stops crying?

Mi Ran.

This is Director Ma Dong Chan.

Can we meet?

Here.

Hyun Gi told me that you like this drink.

This is the only drink that the broadcasting company gives out.

I only drank it because they gave it to me.

I really like free stuff.

Just for your information,

I hate this drink.

Oh, I see.

Anyway,

I should've gotten to know you better.

I'm sorry for doing it now.

Mi Ran.

What's your dream?

My dream is to earn a living.

It's to make decent money and live a happy life.

You and I really do think alike.

Director Ma.

You're trying to convince me...

to participate in the experiment, aren't you?

Do you know how pretentious you look?

I can see you're having a hard time putting on a fake smile.

Yes, you're right.

I came to convince you.

But...

this smile isn't fake. I can't put on a fake smile.

Mi Ran.

You don't need to do it if you don't feel like it.

I went to the park to convince you,

and that's where I saw you beat up your boyfriend.

You did a great job.

It was an impressive way to take revenge...

on your cheating boyfriend.

I saw the anger and your spirit of challenge...

that lie deep in your heart.

It was so impressive that I actually dreamt of you that night.

I guess you get impressed by really weird things.

Or maybe you're a pervert.

Do you want to get abused by someone or something?

I've lived my life...

doing things that other people don't do.

And whenever I see someone similar, my brain releases dopamine.

That's why I got interested in the cryonics experiment.

I started to think...

that we could cure people who have incurable illnesses...

if this experiment succeeds.

We can't cure them now,

but they might be able to get cured in the future.

Isn't it incredible...

that you can actually take part...

in such a historical event?

Do you really think...

they can get cured?

Just a second.

Nam Tae!

Nam Tae!

Nam Tae, where are you?

Nam Tae! Nam Tae!

Nam Tae!

Nam Tae! Nam Tae!

Nam Tae!

- Nam Tae! - Mi Ran.

What are you doing here? Do you know how worried I was?

Nam Tae.

If your bag got tied to the pole,

you could've just left the bag here and come home.

Hey.

Mi Ran.

You don't need to do it if you don't want to.

I'll just do it by myself.

I need to get going.

I'll do it. I'll participate in the experiment.

- I'm going to do it by myself. - Why won't you let me do it?

Ask your parents for permission. If they say no, you can't do it.

I'm not a kid.

And what kind of parent would let their child do that?

I'm going to do it no matter what, so just keep that in mind.

But on one condition.

What's that?

Can I get autographs from all the Fin.K.L members?

My little brother's a huge fan.

And I heard Leslie Cheung will be visiting Korea next month.

Can you let me meet him?

You know what's funny?

Later on, Dong Chan wouldn't let her do it...

while Mi Ran insisted on participating.

- They fought again because of that. - Really?

They're both really crazy.

They're going to wake up after 2 hours and 30 minutes.

I wonder how they would feel.

Dong Chan would want to go to a sauna as soon as he gets out.

- I want you to leave right now. - What?

You can't shoot anything from now on.

You need to leave.

What are you talking about?

We only have 2 hours and 30 minutes left.

You can't shoot the thawing process.

Come back after two hours. You can shoot outside.

Get out of here. Hurry.

He won't let you shoot? Are you kidding me?

I guess he doesn't want to leak the thawing process.

Well...

It'll be like leaking confidential information.

Hyun Gi, do you think something went wrong?

My gosh, no way. You don't need to worry.

That's the only part that he won't let us shoot.

Director Ma will come back no matter what.

You know how famous restaurant owners...

don't even share their secret recipe with their daughters-in-law?

It's kind of similar to that.

Are you sure?

If this goes wrong, we'll all lose our jobs.

Yes, of course. Don't worry.

Tell Director Ma to come see me as soon as he wakes up.

Okay, I'll do that.

Professor Hwang, are you going somewhere?

There's somewhere I need to go.

But we need to thaw their bodies in less than two hours.

I'll be back before then.

I want you to keep an eye on the capsules.

Don't let anyone inside.

Okay.

"Everyone, our country just managed to freeze a living human being..."

"for the first time in human history."

"Can you believe that?"

"It's the birth of cryonics which is something we only saw..."

"in movies."

(Everyone, our country just managed to freeze a living human being...)

(for the first time in human history.)

"But that actually came true in real life."

"How do you feel now that you're awake?"

"What did you dream of during your 24 hours of sleep?"

(How do you feel now that you're awake?)

(Were you ever worried that you might not wake up?)

(Variety Team 1)

(Ma Dong Chan)

I dare you to come back.

(Ma Dong Chan)

(Renowned bio-research professor is missing. Russian mobs are related?)

(5 years, Doctor Johnson gone missing, Murder or not)

What is all this?

What's going on? What's wrong?

Excuse me. We're ready to film.

What's wrong?

Are they okay in there?

(Melting Me Softly)

He's still alive.

Dong Chan's alive?

- 2019. - You slept for 20 years...

in the cryonics capsule.

- 42? - My family disappeared.

When was the last time you saw your family?

Yesterday...

The bus fare went up a long time ago.

Hello. This is News Line. I'm Na Ha Young.

You punk!

- What's the date today? - Dong Chan.

It's me. Hyun Gi.

Do you know me?
