Original subtitles

Just promise me one thing.

That you will not erase my memory as you leave.

Why?

You said this, too.

Rather than not being able to love because you couldn't remember,

it's better to love, even if it hurts.

Because I have memories to share with you,

I can send you off.

Then you will be too pitiful.

I may never be able to come back.

Then you won't know if I'm dead or alive,

and you will have to continue to wait.

If you can never come back all my life,

I will be born again.

You do the same.

I already told you.

My love is

longer than my time.

I want you to be at ease.

If we remember each other,

we will not forget the way back. So,

we will eventually meet again.

Fine.

You choose then. Whether to erase

or to leave it as it is.

You choose.

I've made my decision.

Where are you going at this time?

What's going on? He told us to get out briefly, and you two fought?

I'm going to have to go somewhere briefly.

Briefly to where?

Thank you for everything.

- Unni, that's a mink coat, isn't it? - Huh?

Omo, you recognized it? It's a new product.

- Unni, for being a pet lover... - What did you say?

In order to make that kind of coat, do you know how many small and cute minks had to die?

While they were alive and in pain...

Well, isn't your thick and unfashionable parka

made out of down feathers? Are you only sorry for the minks,

and you don't feel bad for the ducks inside that parka? They don't get a shearing.

- One by one, they get plucked. Like this. Plucked like this. Hmm? Hmm? - Ouch!

How much would it hurt? Like this, like this. Doesn't it hurt? Doesn't it hurt? You should date instead.

Ah, Unni! I can't talk with you, Unni!

Omo, what are you doing here?

- Isn't she that girl? Heo Joon Jae's girl friend? - She is.

She is not only Heo Joon Jae's girl friend, but also someone who received unrequited love from another guy.

You must be happy, girl. Tae Oh's cell phone is full of your pictures.

- Could you erase them? - Do you think I would've left them alone? I've erased them.

- Good job. - I didn't do it to get complimented by you.

- But what are you doing here? - I am going somewhere. So I wanted to say goodbye to everyone.

- To where? - Where are you going?

I will miss all the food I ate here.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Make sure to come back.

You are going to leave so soon, Unni?

- Do you still know me? - Why wouldn't I know?

Huh? You shouldn't know.

- It shouldn't be like that. - What is?

Something is strange about you. The fact that you can hear my voice that others can't hear, too.

- Why? - I saw you in my dream.

- Me? - Yes.

Help me.

Help me.

And in that dream, you were a mermaid.

- And I was, too. - You were, too? - Yes.

In my dream, my father was a fisherman and my mother was a mermaid.

Isn't it fascinating?

- Since I could communicate with the mermaids in the ocean, I could find out a lot of things. - Ahjussi! Ahjussi!

You shouldn't go in the water on your boat today.

- It looks like a big storm is on the way. - How do you know that?

- I just know it. - Let's listen to her.

Even the last time, she got it right like a ghost.

- Thanks to her, we got saved many times. - That's right. We almost got into big trouble last time.

So? So, what happened?

In my dream, I think everything is well and I was happy.

When I wake up from the dream, I feel good all day long.

- That's a relief. - What is?

It must not be a folktale.

It must really have happened.

He said having memory is a way to return.

Our story that in this world only I can remember.

So that it won't be sad and it won't disappear,

I will protect it.

I will treasure it.

And I will return.

The Legend of the Blue Sea. Last Episode

Three years later

Come and eat.

Wow, it smells so great!

I can't leave this house because of you, Mother.

Please leave!

You keep saying you'd leave once it gets warmer, and then once it gets cooler. It's already been 3 years!

Go where? No need to get out and waste money on rent.

You all stay here until you get married.

Mom!

Thank you, Mother. Hey, just let it be.

All my life I didn't have a chance to call someone "Mother" and I'm finally saying that.

Me, too.

You, too, Tae Oh?

Hey, but why do we always reserve this seat when we eat?

It's a habit.

Well, its true. But since we always reserve this particular spot and eat,

it feels like there is a specific owner of this seat.

Isn't it weird?

So many things are weird to you.

Prosecutors' Office

750 Prosecutors Office

Who is it?

Ah, starting today, law students are supposed to come in for field experience at the prosecutors' offices.

He must be assigned to our office, right?

Yes.

I'm Heo Joon Jae. I put myself under your care.

This unni's son gave all his shares to her,

and graduated from college that he took a break from.

Not only that, he went to the law school to become a prosecutor.

- Omo, omo. - Oh, my world!

Also, this unni used half of her shares to create a resting place for runaway teenagers.

She also established an alternative school to public school.

- You are so amazing. - Isn't she?

It's nothing. My son ran away from home when he was in high school.

I heard he suffered so much, so that's why I thought of these.

But with that many shares,

you could've been CEO and more, Unni!

What do I know about that? Those things need to be taken care of by others who are knowledgeable. (Using informal speech)

Aww, this unni is so humble like this.

Watching this unni, there's something that I realized.

You never know what's going to happen to your life. Don't just look at your present situation.

Even if people don't change, cir-cum-stan-ces do change.

That's right.

At any rate, thanks to this unni,

we were able to make really good investiments.

Ah, we have such a strongly intertwined fate.

Maybe we were like real sisters in the past life.

That's what I think.

Unni, are you out of coffee? Should I refill it?

No, I'll do it.

Oh, Unni! Why do you keep doing that?

I need to serve you! Just stay seated. Oh, right!

You liked Apple-Mango. Would you like some more Apple-Mango?

Would you, then?

Just wait.

Okay, who should go eat first?

Why don't you go and eat first?

Intern, should we go eat first?

Why would there be eating separately and not together?

Intern, what do you think is the most important thing to a prosecutor?

None other than... sense of justice?

That's important, too. That's important, but there's something more important than that.

That we never leave our office empty.

Pardon? Why not?

Well, a while back...

we were robbed by con-artists.

But how?

So, it happened when we all went out to eat lunch together.

Has it been about 3 years?

That's right.

These jerks sat on my seat,

and pretended to be prosecutors and met clients! They erased all the CCTV recordings.

Wow, for real?

Oh, look at my goosebumps.

How could they even think of such thing?

There are so many psychos in this world.

Had I come just 5 minutes earlier, I could have caught those jerks.

- But because there was a problem with the traffic signal... - Aigo!

What a shame.

They came in, saying they were changing that water filter.

Wasn't it to fix the elevator?

Oh, that's right! To fix the elevator.

How did you know?

I hear such things happen frequently in Seocho-gu, Gangnam area.

Oh, really?

At any rate, I normally don't trust people easily, and since then, I trust people even less.

In this world, there are all kinds of people. Let's go.

Aish, those jerks! I will catch all those bastards!

They say that the damage was about 5000000 won ($5000) per person.

Prosecutor, this is not a con.

Wouldn't it be something that could happen easily during a business transaction?

That's why no charges were sent even from the police.

But is the business address listed here a residence?

Excuse me?

- Oh, that is... - It's the same for the branch offices.

Seeing that they applied for delayed payment of Value-Added Tax,

their financial state isn't good, either.

That's right. I told you that sometimes they have difficulties when doing a business.

But that's not conning.

Also, we never told those people that we would protect the principal.

Distribution of compensation, annuitization,

including the price of goods in the payment.

Don't all these imply that the principal is protected? Isn't that right?

This proves to be the financial transaction without trading goods.

If it was a normal transaction, there is no reason to include the price of goods into extra pay.

Both price of goods and extra pay are money that a seller should receive. But if those two are included,

then aren’t you telling them to give and receive by themselves?

This person, President Choi... Does he still do money laundering in Macau?

He is still gambling, right? I know how much he lost recently.

This is not a case of 10 victims with $5000 each, but 10 to the 10, and then 10 to those 10...

It looks to be a case worth 10 billion won (10M USD), that involves at least 3000 people.

Do you really have a connection there?

No, I just overheard it somewhere.

That's not it. It doesn't seem like it.

- I'll see you tomorrow! - Please go home safely.

What is he?

How did you know to come? You didn't even contact me, saying you were busy.

Do you contact me? Did you? Is it hard to study? It looks like you lost some weight.

Of course, studying is hard. Did you think I do it because it's fun and easy?

I'm glad you set your heart right. You were out of your mind for a while and saying crazy things.

You'd disappear and cover your tracks. I was honestly scared at that time.

What you went through isn't something people can handle with normal mentality.

I thought maybe you turned weird.

I can barely remember now.

Even when I try to remember that time, I can't remember well.

What does Jo Nam Doo do these days?

Special lecture. Is it evading the law or legitimate? You are not evading the law.

Hi, I'm the star lecturer who will be lecturing about "Evading the law or Legitimate Law~."

There is this evasive and mysterious borderline between evasion and legitimacy of the law.

This is the time to learn the true wisdom of life.

The first theme is our attitude towards tax.

This area is a bit ambiguous, so I don't normally handle this.

But today, since we only have VIPs of department stores, I will specially delve into it and teach you.

Instead, you may not do voice or video recording of it. You should hear and write it. Where? In your hearts.

Benjamin Franklin said this, "In this world nothing can be said to be certain,"

"except death and taxes."

This Jo Nam Doo wants to tell Benjamin this.

Oh, that's right. One can't avoid death, but I can avoid tax.

Do you want to know how?

What is it? Have you started without me? Give me a bowl of blood sausage soup for me.

Aren't you conning people under the word "lecturing"?

Am I crazy? I'd rather quit than be caught by him later.

I'm having a hell of a time using my mouth instead of my hands.

Truly, I thought it was a joke that he suddenly wanted to become a civil servant.

Who would have known he would really go to law school to become a prosecutor?

They say birds of a feather flock together, so isn't it thanks to me?

Once Heo Joon Jae met me, he recognized a good person!

I should live like him. If I lived like Jo Nam Doo, I'd ruin my life. I'm sure he had many thoughts.

Then he was able to decide so. That's how I see it.

You're wrong.

What is it really that you decided to be a cvil servant, all of a sudden?

On top of that you've decided to become a high-ranking public official as a prosecutor. What an extreme decision.

Well, presumably there was a triggering factor...

But I cannot remember well.

Let's drink well, Detective.

Please order a boiled meat.

Here, an order of boiled meat, please. You are eating a lot today.

And, you Tae Oh. Dude, you've cleaned up, too, right?

How many times are you repeating? Tae Ho now is a white-hacker.

Bug bounty? He is doing something like that.

Wha.. What is that?

By performing mock attacks to see if companies are hackable or not,

and strengthening their security systems, something like that. Do you even get it when I explain?

Ignorant…

I'm not quite sure, but don't do silly stuff.

What's he saying...

Uh, where did I put my phone?

Ah, he has started again.

Can't you control it?

Check things out if something's missing or not.

Uh, hey!

WOW, this kid... is this his hobby?

Ah, Soo Jeong, it's me, Oppa. Are you sleeping?

When will it end? Uh, working late?

Where are you headed?

What's the matter?

Don't leave! Today, no one leaves this house.

What do you mean? I need to go now so I can work tomorrow.

Nope! Can't leave! Leave after the sunrise!

What's wrong with this guy?

Sleeping?

Ah, with your husband? You're married! I am sorry.

Oh... and happily.

Hey, what's wrong with him?

Why is he again... What's wrong with him now?

I miss her.

Whom?

I miss her.

Ah! What a sobering of a happy drunk! He has developed a new weird habit, Detective.

He used to just stop people from leaving and repeated himself over and over when he got drunk.

But now he cries! He won't even remember it next day!

I miss her!

Then, whom? Let me know who it is, punk!

Who do you miss so much every time you drink?

He became truly weird after that event.

He locks himself in the room and stays there...

When it's getting close to sunrise, he goes to the sea to see the sun rise

and again goes for sunset, when it's time for it.

But when I ask him why he is doing that, he says, he doesn't know why he does that.

I'm leaving it here. I've done my job delivering!

Continue with whatever you are doing. Do continue, yes.

Totally good!

It's a tour bus!

The smell of emissions! The school of anchovies are still the same. I feel at home!

When did that building get completed?

Time passes...

Wait a minute, where was the jewelry shop around here?

Bye now.

Where are you from?

Who are you?

Which sea are you from?

How did you know?

Kid! Answer me, I am the one asked you the question.

From Jeju Island. Back and forth between Jeju and Woo Islands.

But then, what are you doing here?

Hungry?

Will you come in?

You'll be treated as an idiot if you eat like that here.

Watch me carefully.

Ah, I also saw this a few times.

But what are you here for?

I miss one person.

Occasionally, I went to the Joomoon area to play.

And met a man who told me he lives in Seoul, so…

I swam for 15 days and came up all the way here.

Did he tell you to come? Did he say he loves you?

Did he ask you to marry him?

He didn't exactly say so.

Ah, I feel frustrated.

What are you doing, just coming up to the land without any confirmation?

Uh, this kid has no plan, really. Listen well.

The moment a mermaid comes up to the land leaving water, your heart starts to harden.

Truly?

Yes. Your heart automatically beats in the water, but not out of the water!

There is only one way for you to continue to breathe and for your heart to beat!

The man you love has to love you back. That's the only way!

But would it be possible with that man?

Once, I meet him, it may work out, but..

He doesn't answer my calls.

I'm unable to meet him.

Fine. Have a dishful of sashimi and

hurry back to water thinking you had a good experience.

But then, have you met such a man?

Of course, I've met one. I met one very handsome fool who only loves me.

Therefore, my heart was beating well.

If so, why did you go back to the sea?

No matter how well my heat was beating, it was no good in front of a gun.

Did you get shot?

Now that I got shot, I understand now.

How the sharks and dolphins are killed in one shot!

Oh, don't even speak if you haven't been shot by a gun.

I had to go deep in the sea to recuperate taking all kinds of nutritious things...

I've worked hard at recuperation for a long time.

What's the reason for the gunshot?

I wanted to protect that man.

So I saved him. I don't regret it.

Where is he? Does he know you returned?

Ah, it's cold.

Who is it?

I've asked you who you are?

I have something important to say...

Ah, I do have a religion.

Ah! I'm cold! What is it?

If not a religion, what, milk? A water purifier? Newspaper? If not, what is it?

No, none at all. By the way, is Heo Joon Jae in?

Forget about him.

- What? - I said to forget him.

I'm not sure how you found this place,

but Joon Jae fooled you.

What about...

The kid hit on you to go see the sunrise by the east sea on January first, right?

Then, he returned after just looking at the sea. After that he discontinued all means of communication?

He may seem quite cool.

That's his M.O. Just think that you stepped into dog poop and let it go.

I felt you look familiar and feel like my sister so I'm giving you some advice.

- Who are you? - Ah, Mother.

This lady came looking for Joon Jae and

I'm trying to convince her to leave nicely.

A guest of Joon Jae came. Don't be rude.

Go in and wait for him.

May I please use your bathroom?

Ah... the restroom is...

She appears as comfortable in this house as if it were her own.

Is that so?

Joon Jae brought her in when we were away. Ah this kid!

Who?

Ah, I'm not sure. It's a woman with long hair and she's pretty!

She sure is your type!

I haven't exchanged names, yet. You aren't in trouble are you?

Oh, get here soon.

What is your name?

It's Cheong, Sim Cheong.

Don't joke around.

It's real. My name is Sim Cheong.

Ah, your parents must have loved fairy tales.

Where is your home?

Far.

Mine's far, too.

Isn't yours Namyang-ju?

Right. How did you know?

What's this? Is it real? Real jade?

Why do you laugh?

I think people don't change much. I like it that way.

Cha Si Ah.

Mother, I'm here.

Who?

Ah, she is just a visitor.

Ah, I see.

He isn't here yet.

Yeah, but you…

But then, you, do you have to be one to propose first?

What about it? Women do it more nowadays.

But it might be better to wait for the man to do it.

Is she staying here?

How come? Do you have something to say to me?

Are you getting married?

Ah, yes.

With whom?

A man who lives in this house.

There are three men. Which one among them?

How do you know there are three men living in this house? Did Joon Jae tell you?

- To whom are you getting married, Cha Si Ah? - Huh? Omo!

How did know my name? I don't think I introduced myself yet.

By chance, are you getting married to Heo Joon Jae?

What if I am?

- Is she Joon Jae's fan as well? - That's how it looks.

Give it up! You won't be able to get him.

You know that a woman against whom you can never win is a woman inside someone's memory, right?

He has an incredible woman in his memories. You can never win.

- For your information, the man I'll marry is- - If it's not Heo Joon Jae, never mind.

What's this bitter taste...?

So… wait till a man proposes...

He could be preparing do it himself.

Joon Jae, you have a guest.

Who are you?

You became even more dashing, Heo Joon Jae.

I'm glad you look well.

I'm asking who you are?

I am... I am...

the one you said you would love longer than your lifetime.

How come she doesn't say a word?

Ah... He doesn't even remember again. Oh no, too bad.

What brings you here?

That is just...

I'm okay now. I wanted to let you know that I'm healthy.

And because I missed you.

Do you know me?

Yes, I know you better than anyone else in the world.

No, it's not that I know you so well.

We just brushed by each other briefly, very briefly in the past.

Although I don't know if you would remember, Mr. Heo Joon Jae.

Is that so?

But did you come here because you have something to say?

I love you.

No.

Just...

I love you.

There isn't anything else I want to say.

It looks like you are doing well, so that's good.

I love you, Heo Joon Jae.

I see.

But what should we do? I have an appointment near by.

I was just stopping by to leave the car at home, so I need to leave again.

Yes.

No, Joon Jae, I'm going to propose to Tae Oh and announce our marriage today.

Where are you going?

I'm sorry. Do it on your own. Congratulations, Cha Si Ah.

Joon Jae, how can you just leave your guest here?

Excuse me for intruding.

Goodbye, everyone.

What is this? He just left. Where did he go?

♬ The door to a new world is open. ♬

♬ It is within you. ♬

♬ When I enter, my eyes are dazzled ♬

♬ A wide world welcomes me. ♬

Wait here just a bit. Don't leave.

♬ I approach you. ♬

Heo Joon Jae, hurry back. ♬ I want to be embraced. ♬

♬ I want to stay ♬

♬ In that world which is you ♬

♬ I owe you; I miss you ♬

♬ I need you; I love you ♬

♬ Eternally in your arms ♬

You look comfortable and happy now. Did I return pointlessly?

Why? So you can leave again?

♬ Will you come to me and take my hand? ♬

♬ I will love you even if the world changes. ♬

♬ I owe you; I miss you ♬

♬ I need you; I love you ♬

Was this what you wanted? ♬ Eternally in your arms. ♬

To be erased from the world completely

so that even I would forget you?

If it were going to be like this, why did you erase them? I told you not to do it.

Do you really remember me?

Yes.

In this world, only I remember you.

How?

Silly girl. Erase them 100 times, and see if I forget you.

No. That can't be.

There is something you missed.

Wherever we went, whatever we did, whatever we ate, whatever you said,

whenever you laughed, however pretty you were...

You may have been able to erase those kinds of things, but you could not erase you from me.

You are just remembered by my body and engraved in my heart,

so there was nothing you could do.

Even so, I worked hard at it.

Just in case, I was afraid after many years have passed... what if I really forget you?

That's why every day I tried really hard not to forget you.

I've recorded everything.

Long before you left.

In case something like this happens in the future,

and all my memories are gone,

I could at least find you in my record.

♬ My nameless love may have started ♬

♬ Before I knew you, was the sky ♬

♬ Always as brilliant as this? ♬

♬ If out of ten thousand chances, our love came into being ♬

♬ If out of ten thousand chances, you and I... ♬

And after you disappeared, I was able to hold onto the puzzles of memory

that started to fade for a year.

♬ The love which may not end for you ♬

♬ All of my moments are for you ♬

♬ With you, I see and hear more♬

♬ Breathing with you will be everything ♬

♬ Because I am happy doing without ♬

♬ I want to stay with you ♬

It took another year to find the sea that you might be staying in.

♬ The time before I knew you was blurry ♬

♬ I don't remember everything ♬

This house is too far from the sea.

I want the road to be connected like this.

How about this one?

This house is too big.

Ah, this one is too small.

There are too many people around there.

Ah, there isn't much foot traffic here.

I spent the last year preparing a house near the sea where I can live with you,

♬ All for you ♬

Who?

I don't know. It's some woman. She has long hair and she is pretty.

She seems to be your style.

I haven't exchanged names yet. You didn't get into some trouble, right?

Oh, okay. Come quickly.

After making me suffer so much.

Finally!

♬ If I were allowed just one day ♬

♬ Just one day ♬

That's how three years have passed.

And the day that seemed like it would never come, came today.

♬ I would use the unforgettable today and the unchanging memories ♬

♬ And all of the love I have ♬

Joon Jae, you have a guest.

♬ Will be for you ♬

♬ Until my last breath, all for you ♬

Why did you do that? I really may not have been able to come.

What were you going to do then?

Then I alone would have remembered you for the rest of my life on this earth.

I alone loving you.

Everything is as it was. The lease must have expired.

It has passed of course, since the person who would help with the move hasn't come.

So I just bought it outright.

Thank you for waiting for me.

You worked hard not giving up and coming back on such a long journey.

You aren't going to erase it yet again this time, right?

It's not like my memory is the kind that would be erased, should you try a hundred times,

but even so, what's difficult is difficult.

I won't. I won't.

Never mind. I take back what I said. I stuck a foot in my mouth.

This right here can be erased, I think.

How come? Come here.

You startled me!

What are you looking for?

This side has better clothing, and...

That side has better shoes, right?

You know it well, it seems. But you appear already well dressed, so what have you come to find?

I came to find you.

- Me? - Yep.

I missed you.

As for me, I didn't miss you, as this is our first encounter.

Even though this is our first encounter and a coincidence, here's what I think.

Life is full of coincidental connections.

You should cherish these connections and these good connections will continue to be created.

I'm very shy with strangers, but your philosophy is compatible with mine.

Yea, let's be friendly with each other in the future.

Sure, let's do that, then I will be here...

I know, you come here Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I will come accordingly.

Are you a stalker by any chance? Are you following me?

No. I have a man I love.

Ah, you're in a relationship.

Which stage? In love-

There are three levels: romantic, hot, and dirty.

How do you...?

I think right now it's not romantic but it's becoming hot.

You can say that it's a phase that can be progressing to the dirty phase in the near future.

Are we some sort of soulmates?

We totally get each other.

Let's get together often.

Winter nights are not short, Honey.

High School Equivalence Diploma (General Education Diploma)

What are you doing? You know I have to take the GED?

Then, do it in the bed, in the bed!

What's so hard about it? I'll teach you everything.

There's nothing among what mankind can do that's difficult for me or that I cannot do.

Then what is the problem, huh?

♬ Unusually bright sunshine ♬

♬ Warm wind embraces us ♬

♬ Walking with you on this beautiful day ♬

♬ My heart's beating like crazy ♬

♬ You keep saying weird things ♬

♬ Asking silly questions ♬

♬ The whole world knows how I feel ♬

♬ How come you don't know? ♬

♬ I love you, silly ♬

Final prosecutor selection interview

Mr. Heo Joon Jae, in addition to the law review record,

has an outstanding bar exam score.

Do you happen to have a specific focus on what type of prosecutor you'd like to be?

Yes. My dream is to become a public prosecutor at a regional branch.

In a scenic place. If it's near the sea, even better.

For instance, a few years ago, I bought a small house in the Seokcho area.

If I can carry out my first duty there, it'll be icing on the cake.

♬Makes my lips dry♬

♬I love you, silly♬

♬Oh, beautiful day.♬

♬You looked at me and gave me a big smile♬

♬I smiled back at you♬

♬You know, silly, ♬

♬Were you like me?♬

♬My heart thump, keeps on thump♬

♬My heart keeps on telling you♬

♬I love you, I love you♬

♬You are my girl♬

Finally we made our dream come true.

In a village where not much exists, not much news occurs,

in a small boring village, with nothing special

having a very, very simple life.

Aren't you having too much food?

Are you seeing it as I'm eating them?

Then?

Sorry, sorry.

You were so slim, I keep forgetting.

Eat, eat. Eat them all! You need to eat all of these, too.

Totally happy!

How can I support two people as a civil servant? There will be huge expenses for food.

Don't you worry, Honey!

I will try very hard to cry until the tears will dry up.

Sure, Honey. You don't seem to cry nowadays. Try more.

Don't you worry.

While crying and laughing at very simple things,

being happy, and being sad...

While watching quietly how our time together flows, each day, each hour, each minute and each second...

After making many detours,

treasuring the love that finally came to me...

As we remember our legend that's far off, beautiful and secretive...
