Let go!

You, Heo Joon-jae!

Let go!

Mother.

Chi-hyeon.

Hey! Hey!

Chi-hyeon!

Heo Joon-jae!

I saw that person's face.

Heo Chi-hyeon.

Heo Joon-jae,

I was scared you were going to protect me again,

but I'm so happy.

The ending has changed.

This time,

I protected you.

No.

No.

No. Please.

-You probably also know this by now. -Please!

even though I'm not by your side,

-I'll always keep loving you. -Cheong, Cheong.

So,

be happy in all of the moments I'm not in.

Laugh a lot and receive a lot of love.

Like all normal people,

I wish you to live comfortably

for a long, long time.

I don't wish to become

your scar or some type of nightmare.

Don't go.

Don't go anywhere.

I love you.

I love you.

Please hurry!

Hurry!

Cheong.

I love you.

Ms. Kang, who was to inherit the fortune of real estate mogul CEO Heo,

has been captured by the police as a suspect in her husband's murder.

The son of Ms. Kang and stepson of Mr. Heo, Mr. "A"

Mr. "A" also was arrested and charged

as an accessory to murder and for attempted murder.

Ms. Kang grew Wolfsbane in her home,

and extracted deadly aconitine from its roots to murder her husband.

She also kidnapped Mr. Heo's biological son and tried to murder him.

Police, already on stakeout at the scene, caught and arrested her at the scene.

Mr. "A" snatched the gun from the police and fired at Mr. "B".

Mr. "B's" girlfriend was hit and is now in a critical condition.

After Mr. Heo passed away, Ms. Kang prepared the transfer of inheritance.

-The notarized will was fabricated, -Oh my god!

The police suspect Ms. Kang committed the crime aiming for the fortune.

The police are tracking down the possible accomplice.

They're injection ampules

made with aconitine extracted from the Wolfsbane flower.

Since you might fail, take two.

Are you doubting my skills?

One shot, one kill. Don't worry.

Okay, then.

May I go to the restroom quickly?

Please... don't worry.

It's fine. Please... please...

You're an attempted murderer. Do you know that?

You even stole a gun from a detective.

It's obstruction of judicial execution...

I'm not sure why I'm living like an animal driven into a corner,

or why I'm living like I'm being punished,

I don't know.

But I hope your life isn't like this.

I'm not sure who you are,

but the thought just occurred to me.

What is it?

You guys entrapped me.

Your eavesdropping device is illegal!

Do you think it can be used as evidence?

It's not illegal.

Heo Joon-jae was recording his own voice but you, Kang Seo-hee--

I mean Kang Ji-hyeon, interrupted.

That can be used as evidence.

What a joke.

You set it all up!

When my lawyer comes--

All your lawyers have left.

Find more or request a public defender.

What?

What is it?

Heo Chi-hyeon seems to have taken the poison.

What?

What? Did my lawyer come?

So you guys are surprised?

It's not that.

Your son Heo Chi-hyeon...

Chi-hyeon?

What about him?

Chi-hyeon!

Chi-hyeon! Chi-hyeon!

Call a doctor!

We called 119. They'll be here in a minute.

It's no use.

Chi-hyeon!

I...

endured as much as I could.

I dragged the time.

Why did you do that? Why did you do that, Chi-hyeon?

Mother.

Okay, Chi-hyeon, okay!

That you're my mother...

is a curse for me.

Chi-hyeon! Chi-hyeon!

Chi-hyeon!

Chi-hyeon!

Chi-hyeon!

Chi-hyeon!

No, Chi-hyeon! No!

Chi-hyeon!

No!

Joon-jae.

I just got a call from Detective Hong.

He said Heo Chi-hyeon... died.

He originally gave me two doses of Wolfsbane root.

But I only took one and switched out the one that I took.

It seems Heo Chi-hyeon had the other one

and drank it.

It's so potent that drinking it is fatal, even though it may take longer.

He's irresponsible until the end.

Who's her guardian?

It's me.

Did the surgery go well, Doctor?

Well... you could say that.

But I should call it miracle.

The bullet went through the right ventricle and the left ventricle.

I have never seen someone survive this.

No such case has been reported, either.

-Have you ever seen this? -No.

There was a lot of blood loss, so her blood pressure dropped,

which usually causes shock.

so I put her on the heart-lung machine.

But after I stitched up the puncture wound...

the heart muscle was restored very easily.

This is very abnormal.

What about her vital signs?

Again, very abnormal,

They are rapidly stabilizing.

Of course, the bullet caused a quite critical wound,

so we need to see when she regains consciousness.

Thank you.

It's even more important from now on.

Because there was already a lot of blood loss,

if the circulation to the brain decreased,

she might have lost some brain functions.

Let's talk again after she regains consciousness.

I understand.

This patient doesn't eat

anything weird, does she?

Rather than eating something weird,

she especially eats a lot.

-Thank you, Doctor. -W-- well...

Jerk!

How could you leave like that?

What girl are you going to...?

What the...?

What kind of dream is this? I was deserted by my husband...

What was with that bridal crown?

So annoying.

Tell me.

Would you... take a bullet for me?

I can go as far as to get hit by a stone.

I knew it.

What about you?

I have to raise the kid.

If I get shot, who will raise the kid?

Why are you suddenly talking about guns?

You haven't heard about it yet?

-She said they were close, but maybe not. -It seems so.

About what?

Your friend!

Yoo-ran's son, Heo Joon-jae.

What about Joon-jae?

The adopted son shot at the biological son, Heo Joon-jae.

What?

And the girlfriend took that bullet for him.

So she's in the hospital. Isn't it like a movie?

Yoo-ran left early in the morning to see the surgery results.

You should watch the news!

You said the surgery went well, but why isn't she regaining consciousness?

It's a big surgery. It must be taking some time.

Maybe this is why she told me that.

What did she tell you?

Your face got so gaunt in just a few days.

Eat this.

You know the Little Mermaid story, right?

I do.

In the end,

you know the mermaid gets a knife.

If she kills the prince with the knife, she would live.

If she fails to kill him, she would become sea foam and disappear.

What would you do?

Why are you asking that?

I think it's right for the mermaid to disappear.

Because it all began

as the mermaid came up on the shore out of greed.

That's not how I think.

Why?

Once upon a time, a young man went to sea, but the ship got overturned.

He met a mermaid and he was saved.

He married the mermaid and they had babies.

They lived happily.

Among the children who were born between the human and the mermaid,

some returned to the water, and some remained on land.

They became like patron saints to the people of that village.

While communicating with the mermaids of the sea,

if a storm was likely to come,

they told people ahead of time not to go out to sea.

There's this mermaid story too.

It's not because of greed

that the mermaid went up onto the shores, but because of love.

Although it would be nice if all stories had happy endings,

there are stories that don't.

That's what she said?

Yeah.

This happened after that.

So my heart hurts a lot.

I need her to quickly wake up so that I can thank her.

Why did she go running in front of a gun?

Let's get a little shot...

No! You'll die like a dolphin.

I know.

She was so scared of a gun.

She had no fear then.

-But, Mom... -Yes?

Is there really a legend like that?

Did he really marry the mermaid, have babies and live happily?

Do you not remember?

I used to tell you the story when you couldn't sleep as a kid.

You liked it so much.

I see.

I wish it was true.

By the way,

I'll stay here, so would you take that to Nam's wife?

Okay.

Where are you going?

Want to go together? Let's go.

-Hello! -Oh, Joon-jae!

I heard the news. How could this have happened?

Well... the surgery went well.

-He's my close friend. -Oh, I see.

Hello. I've heard a lot about him from Joon-jae.

He has a good look.

I feel like I've seen him a lot somewhere.

Go straight on this road past the hill.

You will find Gangchun Inn.

Excuse me?

Tell them to give you Park Moo's horse.

Ride it to Hanyang and do the work that the town head requested of you.

Why are you helping me?

To pay him back.

For kindness and for enmity.

I don't have the time to explain. Hurry up and move. Hurry.

Thank you.

This is from my mom.

Oh my. She didn't have to. So thankful!

Thank you.

Park Moo.

Honey! You opened your eyes!

Did you speak? Doctor! Doctor!

Mr. Nam!

Park Moo.

P-- Park what?

I'm not Park Moo. I'm Jo Nam-doo.

Dam-ryeong.

Joon-jae.

I had a very long dream.

Welcome back.

Back then and now,

thank you for being my friend.

Why is she not waking up?

They said the surgery went well.

Is she somehow different?

Neurologically or something?

What are you talking about?

Honestly, I heard the conversation between you two.

About a mermaid and things like that.

It was a joke. Do you believe that?

Are you joking?

I know. It is not like we are in a cartoon.

I don't know why I believe this,

but I do.

Cheong isn't like us.

She's a mermaid.

Don't worry! You think I'll do something to your girlfriend?

Yeah, you could do more than that.

I may be a guy whose eyes become blinded by money,

But I have two principles.

What are they?

I always pay back my enemies,

I pay back kindness, if possible.

Although Cheong didn't save me,

she protected my Joon-jae.

My Joon-jae.

So would I do anything to Cheong?

"My Joon-jae"?

Are you crazy?

You're saying outrageous things! So cringey!

I meant it, but I feel all cringey too.

He is my Joon-jae.

Don't mess with him.

You woke up, Cheong?

As expected, invincible Cheong!

Are you okay?

If you hadn't awakened,

I really would have followed you.

Why?

You said you'd meet a prettier woman and live well.

There aren't any.

No woman is prettier than you.

Did you look for one?

I thought about it.

But life is short.

My love will be longer than my life.

My love won't end

in this life.

Thank you for coming back.

Who's saying who's cringey?

She's coming out! Murderer!

You're not human!

Murderer!

You're not human!

You think you won everything? No!

This isn't the end!

It won't end like this. It can't end. Do you understand?

My son can't suffer like this!

It won't end like this.

It's not the end!

PROF. JIN KYOUNG-WON

Yes? This is Jin Kyoung-won.

Ma Dae-young?

Joon-jae, Ma Dae-young is on his way here.

Yes, I'll go over there right now.

Nam-doo, it's me. Contact Detective Hong.

Ma Dae-young is going to Professor Jin.

Do you not remember anything?

I only remember from the time I met that girl.

But... why do you suddenly want to search for your memories?

Have you ever wandered without your memories?

It's like being trapped in the desert with both eyes covered,

but hearing the sound of all kinds of animals from the woods.

The fear of being eaten by those animals is not bad.

What scares me the most is not knowing when and where

something will come jumping out at you...

At times, couldn't fear be better than reality?

No, but I still have to know. I can't live like this anymore.

I can't live with the punishment.

For of a sin that I can't even remember,

Cheon.

I heard you can tell fortunes better than most shamans out there.

It's not that I have any special powers.

I just have a lot of interest in the fates of others.

Anyhow,

read our fortune for the new year.

The beautiful flowers that pierced the harsh snow and bloomed everywhere

are all yours.

The beautiful flowers?

All mine?

Why?

They're not gold and precious things.

The captivating scent of those flowers

will permeate your body's crevices

until you die.

Even if you die and are reborn,

they will not leave you.

It's a good thing, right?

I cannot determine whether fate is good or evil.

Then, what about me?

A tree struck by lightning still has spirit, so it grows again.

Are you receiving the punishment so you can live?

Or are you living so you can receive the punishment?

You will live a confusing life.

What are you saying?

You might as well get hit by lightning and burn into black ashes.

It would be better to not have been born again.

But this is also a fate you have no choice in.

It's a shame.

This rascal...

What an unlucky start to the new year!

Leave, you rascal!

Get whomever.

Do you know Park No-joon?

I've never heard of, met, or seen that person.

His ship was forcibly held at the port, so he had to stay here for 20 days.

He was found as a cold corpse

just because he objected to that.

You wretched thief!

You cannot block the path and rob people.

We are not making this long trip to fatten your belly!

I'll expose your crimes to everyone!

A man has died! Report to the post.

A man has died! A man has died!

I am his son, Park Moo.

I will repay the enemy of my father, and the kindness of Kim Dam-ryeong.

You!

I will definitely be born again.

I will be reborn.

I will definitely own

everything I couldn't own in this world.

Make sure to do so.

No matter how many times you reincarnate, I will also reincarnate,

and avenge the wrongdoing and repay the kindness again.

You are the one who put poison in my father's drink.

I have prepared a poison worthy of you.

Do you know Wolfsbane flower?

It is a beautiful flower which produces a deadly poison that the King uses.

Take it with a grateful heart.

Let go. Let me go.

Let go.

I saw it.

My past life.

Me, Dam-ryeong, the mermaid,

and you.

You knew all along.

You knew the fate I must fulfill,

receiving punishment in this life.

You hovered around me

and just watched?

Whose side are you on?

It was like that then,

and it's like this now,

I'm just someone who observes fate.

I am on no one's side.

That's not so.

You knew it all. Right?

Professor!

Remember.

I have won against you two again.

If there is a destiny,

it will be on my side as well.

In this life, also,

everything will repeat.

A hopeless love between a human and a wily being.

Misery will be waiting in the end.

It does not matter whose side fate is on.

At the end of that ill-fate, we lived happily together.

It is the same now.

Joon-jae!

Joon-jae!

-Joon-jae! -Ma Dae-young!

I have finally caught you.

Drop the knife.

Joon-jae, are you alright?

Why is he glaring at me? We've never even met.

Oh my, that scared me!

So unexpected from you.

Are you here to visit me? With flowers?

Well...

I heard you were unconscious,

so I was just going to leave the flowers.

Are you subtly worried about me?

No, rather than that...

Honestly, it's my first time seeing someone who's been shot.

Did you really get shot?

It must've really hurt.

Where exactly did you get hit?

It sounds like you're enjoying this.

Nonsense!

I don't really like you,

but it's not like I hate you so much that I would be glad you got shot.

Then, do you like me?

I told you. I don't really like you.

I like you, though.

My! You're quite unexpected.

But why?

I always wanted to be like you.

It shouldn't be easy becoming like me.

But why?

You can grow old with the person you like.

Are you saying I'm old?

I look young for my age.

I'm not the type who will grow old with someone.

Not that, but I'm envious.

You can spend lots of time with the person you like.

What's the use for the time?

The person I want to spend time with only looks at you.

I got dumped even in my dream.

I'm more envious of you.

Your fated person will appear.

Did you get possessed by a spirit after getting shot?

What's with you?

I also have waited a long time, and he appeared.

So yours will appear as well, Cha Si-ah.

You're telling me to stay away from Joon-jae, right?

I was going to do that anyway.

How could I beat you? You even took a bullet for Heo Joon-jae.

Get well soon.

MYEONGSUNG UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

Oh, it's snowing.

Tae-oh!

Hi! Are you going home?

Yes.

You're not taking me home?

Do you want me to?

I thought you wanted to take me.

Never mind!

I said never mind.

If you wish.

The snow is so pretty.

It is.

I'm being generous.

You have to have some proper pictures, not sneak shots.

Hey, wait.

What are these?

Aren't all of these pictures of Cheong?

You come here.

So the one you liked was

not me, but Cheong?

Was that it?

Then why did you confess you liked me?

There was a situation...

What?

Then what did I do all this time? Put on a show by myself?

Why didn't you tell me?

Was it fun seeing me like that?

I didn't even know you were playing with me,

I was concerned that you might get hurt.

I was even considering accepting your heart...

I told you not to follow me!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

The area of the injury stopped bleeding, so I checked the wound.

There was nothing to bandage.

That's nonsense.

Are you sure you didn't see wrong?

How could a bullet wound disappear so quickly?

The doctors from the operating roo are dumbfounded too.

At first, the bleeding was excessive.

So they thought maybe the aorta ruptured.

But, it's completely clean without even a wound.

Really? What is this? It's scary.

Perhaps, is it something like an alien?

That's going a bit far.

-Zombie? -Vampire.

Anyway, the Chief will report the case to the Heart Association and the AHA.

He's really excited about contributing to the journal.

I think he already contacted a reporter as well.

Are we going to be on the media?

Just get to work.

Let's go.

Oh my. Are you okay?

Yeah...

Hello.

-Did you get the pass to get out? -Yes.

Make sure to take your medication.

STAFF ONLY DO NOT ENTER

Cheong.

Cheong.

Let's go home.

Home?

Yes.

Hey, Upper Room.

Why?

I've been thinking.

When Mom moves in,

I think she needs to use this room.

Then I don't have a room, even though I'm the home owner.

So, I think you and I should share the loft together.

When I thought about it,

I wondered if there was a need to wait until Mom moves in.

Right? Should I go up?

No.

So I should.

I'll go up.

How long ago was it?

You barged down here and stayed with me when I told you not to!

She's changed.

Sister!

I will miss you so much.

I'll see you often. It's not that far away.

This is your son's place? He lives in a nice home.

Thanks for dropping me off.

-Be careful on your way back. -Okay.

She doesn't even invite me in.

That's the reason I came here.

You're home? Aren't these her shoes?

-Take these and give them to her later. -Oh my!

What are you saying?

This is why I can't trust you and leave business to you.

Let's go. To the heir's house.

Hi!

You left this at our place. These are shoes that you cherish.

I was going to throw these away.

I really need to use the bathroom.

And I'm thirsty.

Sure, come in.

-This place is so nice! -So nice!

By the way,

is your son home?

Yes. They went up to the rooftop for a little bit.

That's good.

Since we're here already, let's say hi.

I was going to say hello to your son at the funeral service.

I lost track of things and didn't even say hello.

Will you do so? Stay and have a cup of tea.

Sister!

Why are you being like this? I'll do it.

-The guest shouldn't do this. Sit. -Oh no.

The dealers sell the boiler.

I asked you to fix it last time!

You didn't fix it for me!

I'm telling you to fix--

Goo-baek's Dad!

Jae-y Kim?

-Can I speak to you two? -Why?

I have something to say to you two.

What do we do? I thought we might get caught.

I didn't know they would come here.

But why did Cheong take those people into that room?

It will be fine.

Where did they go?

They just went...

Why are they coming out of the room?

We were just looking at the room. This place is so nice.

Oh my, is this your son?

Yes, my son Heo Joon-jae is here.

This man is his friend, Jo Nam-doo.

You met Cheong, right?

Yes I did. This young lady is so friendly.

Your son is so handsome.

His friend, too... is so unique.

I... think I have seen you somewhere before.

Your faces seem very familiar.

We've met before, haven't we?

Dubai?

We've never been to Dubai.

-Oh right. -What are you talking about?

Then why did the word Dubai appear in my head?

I wonder why.

I'm sorry. I'm babbling on.

Anyway, it's so nice to meet you.

-Let's meet each other often now. -Okay.

Think hard, Cheong.

You aren't made for mermaid shows!

She erased their memories!

You erased my memories last time too!

That was why Joon-jae was acting like that after returning from Spain.

Just try saying this somewhere!

Cheong, let's work together.

If you can use this memory erasing skill well,

Bill Gates is nothing. We just become worldwide billionaires.

No, I don't want to be a billionaire.

They are unnecessarily busy.

If I'm busy, I won't have time to see Heo Joon-jae.

That's right.

Cheong, I'm saying this sincerely.

If you break up with Joon-jae, come to me. I'm at the top of the list.

What are you saying?

I really, really like you.

Why do you have so many things?

Don't do that.

-Just one time. -No.

-Just one hug. -Why will you hug her?

Cheong. Wait.

What are you doing?

You must be insane.

What's the matter?

Cheong!

What's wrong? Are you hurting somewhere?

Maybe you got discharged too soon?

Does your heart hurt?

Where did everyone go?

I sent them away.

Why?

Because I wanted to eat with you alone.

You're not well, so instead of going somewhere,

let's have a party here by ourselves.

Go and change.

Shall we have a drink?

No.

If I drink,

I think I'll ask you to stay.

If there's another way, tell me.

Please.

Tell me there is one.

Since your surgery, you barely eat,

and you can't sleep.

You just hold in your pain.

What am I supposed to do?

You're dying.

Should I just watch it?

If you return to the sea,

will you be okay?

Will you be healthy?

Promise me one thing.

You won't erase my memories as you are leaving.

Why?

You said it, too.

Rather than be unable to love because you can't remember,

it is better to love even though it hurts.

Because I have memories of you,

I can let you go.

Then you become too pitiable.

I might not be able to come back for a lifetime.

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

You will have to continue to wait.

If you cannot come back,

I'll be born again.

You do the same.

I told you.

My love outlives my life.

I wish you would be at peace.

If we remember each other...

we won't lose the way back.

So, ultimately we will meet again.

Fine.

Then you choose.

Whether to erase it or to leave it as is.

You choose.

I've made my choice.
