EPISODE 3

What is your name?

My name is Se-hwa.

I had a sister who passed away when I was young.

Her name was Se-hwa.

-It means bright-- -"Bright...

shining child."

Someone gave me that name.

Shall I tell you the story?

It was summer, 20 years ago.

A boy came from Hanyang to visit his grandma at the beach.

Can you swim all the way there?

Of course!

-Liar. -Swim then! Go!

Fine.

He can't swim!

My name is Dam-ryeong.

What's your name?

If you don't have a name, I'll give you one.

Let's call you Se-hwa.

It means "bright, shining child."

After that summer, the boy returned to his home in Hanyang.

But he tried his best to come back to the beach.

Let me go to the beach! Please!

If I let you visit your grandparent's, will you focus on your studies?

Yes. I will do my best in my studies.

He brought food from the land that I had never tasted before.

And he showed me beautiful things on land that I had never seen.

The two of us spent time together like that and grew up together.

In 15 days,

a bridal letter will arrive at my house.

I have to get married.

What's does that mean?

It means I have to live with another girl.

I can only care for and like her.

You can't come to the beach anymore?

I don't know.

You can't live on land?

It might be possible when I become an adult.

I heard when mermaids step on land, they grow legs.

But... I can't do that now.

I don't want to leave you.

I don't want to care for and like another girl

for my entire life.

But what can we do?

I can't go on land.

You can't live in water.

On the first night of their marriage,

he left the nuptial room.

Then he rode for several days and headed towards the ocean.

Se-hwa!

Se-hwa!

He knew.

Since he couldn't swim, the mermaid would appear to save him.

But he didn't know an important fact.

Mermaids have a special ability,

which is...

mermaids can make someone forget them when they kiss the person.

Just like that, the mermaid disappeared from his memory, like sea foam.

He's alive.

Why am I here?

My wife died from a lung disease after our marriage.

Right up to her death, she resented me for running away on our first night.

I just couldn't remember...

why I ran away that night.

Am I...

that boy?

Ding-dong, I told you to follow me. Where did you run off to?

I love you.

Why did I jump from there?

I must've been crazy.

Oh, my head.

What's this?

Breaking news.

An imprisoned murder suspect in Seoul's Detention Center,

who has been under medical care due to some seizures, is on the loose.

This is a picture of the murder suspect, Ma Dae-young, who is in his 40s.

VALET PARKING

-How long will you be away? -About a week.

Okay. Have a great trip.

Taxi!

You're here? Alive?

Come here.

Come here!

Hey! Why?

Hey! I knew you'd be back safely!

That's why I didn't answer your call.

Hey! You don't even know what I think of you, fool.

Sure! Is that why you're living in my house?

If I didn't return, were you going to stay here?

My neck!

Jo Nam-doo, you deceitful piece of shit.

Tae-oh!

Put your bags down. Make yourself at home.

I'm fine. What's up?

This is my house!

Hey! Did you crack my house alarm code?

Hey.

Is there any house in Korea that Tae-oh can't get in to?

Have you eaten?

Is that right? Good for you!

I get it. Now leave!

-You are asking me-- -Get out.

Where would I go?

His house and my house were broken into!

They don't know about this place

since you moved and cleared the address.

Mrs. Jang Jin-ok from Myeong Dong Capital really has

an "I can do it!" spirit. She does everything.

Joon-jae, isn't there something important we need to talk about, just the two of us?

-What? -Come.

-Why? -Come on!

-What? Hey! -Just for moment!

Why are you doing this?

-Come here. -Why? Really!

Come on.

Let me see it.

What?

Don't pretend you don't know.

I was so anxious you might not come back because of it. I was really worried.

"It?" What?

What do you mean what? Our "six billion won"!

-What are you talking about? I'm tired. -Hey, the bracelet!

The jadeite bracelet

that looked real in texture, hardness, transparency, and color.

How... did you know about that?

-Because you told me. -I did?

Yes, you did. You said you stole it from a girl you met in Spain.

A girl?

What girl?

Anyone else would believe you,

but am I one to be duped? Let's not do this, Joon-jae.

What are you talking about? Who did I meet in Spain?

You said you met a weird girl who had a loose screw!

Look at the text you sent me!

You sent me a picture too!

Ah, I'm going crazy!

I'm going even crazier! Did you come back from Hollywood instead of Spain?

Your acting skills improved a lot!

-No, that's not it. -What's not it?

I never sent those texts.

-And I didn't meet a weird girl. -So you don't have the bracelet?

I do... have it!

See? You do have the bracelet!

It's not like you wouldn't recognize such an extraordinary item!

Where did you get it? You don't remember?

I don't know.

Joon-jae, here's the deal.

I don't know what's going on. I don't even want to know.

Let me see it. We need to get it appraised.

-We'll see. -See? See what? Why?

Things aren't really making sense.

I;m a little uneasy. Let me look into it first.

Okay! I will gladly take that uneasiness from you.

Just give me the bracelet. I'll take away your burden!

Okay? Joon-jae!

Will you be going to Seoul soon?

Yeah. That's where I live.

You should go too.

It's not like I'm seducing you to go to Seoul.

Don't misunderstand and just listen.

In Seoul, you would like so many things there.

For example, good restaurants.

You love to eat!

You're hungry all the time.

Also, there is a place called Han River.

In the fall, they have fireworks there.

I watch it from a good spot in Building 63.

Boy, it's incredibly beautiful.

I'll let you watch it with me.

With you?

Yes. With me.

You promise!

A promise should always be kept.

What's a promise for?

It's to be kept.

That's right.

I love you.

Who is she?

What the heck?

Who is she?

THREE MONTHS LATER

The concept of real estate developer is something new in Korea.

Can you explain it?

Simply put, a real estate developer uses

creativity and imagination to create something from nothing.

Typically, a construction company looks at apartment complexes...

-It was a good round. -Yes..

The weather was on my side today.

I'm sorry. I was looking from over there.

-You look like a magazine model! -I'm not.

Everyone's daughter is crazy these days.

Maybe I'm more traditional. But I feel more secure with a son.

Daughters are lovely.

But a son is more like a replica.

The more he grows, the more he resembles me.

Genes are such an amazing--

I received a call from mother-in-law earlier.

She said it was very urgent.

I'm sorry. I'll excuse myself for a moment.

Okay.

Excuse me.

-Why? -Watch what you say, please!

CEO Heo's son who is taking care of his work is not his biological son.

Really?

Kang Seo-hee over there is his second wife.

She kicked his first wife out, brought her son, and took over.

They lost contact with his biological son after he ran away from home.

-You didn't know? -No, not at all.

I told you to stop reading newspapers and read the tabloids!

-These things are a must in this field! -Do you don't think I messed up?

I sucked up to him so much.

Did you see how I kept losing on purpose?

I did. Of course, I saw.

Look at the big picture, okay?

Okay.

What's wrong with his biological son?

His rebellion is out of control.

He's crazy!

Damn it. Who drank all my beer?

-There's no more? -Damn it.

And ice cream?

Are you guys not going to leave my house? It's been three months!

How can we leave?

Myeong Dong Capital is on fire trying to find us.

They're not following you. They think you're dead.

They'll follow us to the end of the world.

So what? Are you going to live here?

It may suck, but let's finish things up.

We need to begin a new job soon.

I'm uncomfortable too!

I hate sleeping and eating with other men!

Jeez! You're such a pain!

Please, cooperate.

-You don't think of us. -That prick.

Cheers!

Who... who are you?

-How do I get to Seoul? -What?

Where is Seoul?

Should she go straight and turn left there?

No. Go straight along the west coast, then right...

Is that so?

-Thank you. -Wait.

Are you going to swim there? This is Jeju Island.

-Would you like to get in? -Yes, get in.

It's okay.

Wait!

Is she saying she's going to swim to Seoul?

Is she a diver?

She's a water ghost!

Shouldn't we file a report?

Where? 911?

LOVE THE OCEAN MARINE GIRLS

Everyone from Marine Girls! Let's start wrapping things up!

Soon the miracle of Moses will start!

Miracle of Moses!

Miracle of Moses!Miracle of Moses!

-Wow! -What's that?

What's that?

What is it?

My gosh, it is a human being.

Who's this woman with disheveled hair?

How is she coming from there?

She can only have come out of the water.

She's probably coming from that island.

It's a desert island! You think she was on the island all night?

-Is this Seoul? -What?

No, it isn't.

I have to go farther?

It's so far! I swam so much. I feel like throwing up!

Are you going to Seoul?

We're going there too.

WELCOME TO SEOUL

There are more people than a school of anchovies.

How will I find Heo Joon-jae?

Today Mrs. Jang Jin-ok will have golf practice at one o'clock

and a massage at the Gangnam Empire Spa at 3:30 p.m.

Once we arrive, go to the rooftop and work on the elevator.

You make sure her plans haven't changed.

Okay.

Hey.

It was good to have a break from work.

Now that we're back at it,

I feel like I got a new job. I'm rather excited.

Excited, my ass.

Make sure to pack up your bags and leave after this!

-By any chance, do you know Heo Joon-jae? -No.

Do you know Heo Joon-jae?

Do you know Heo Joon-jae?

Who'd say we would run into someone we scammed at the golf course?

For the first time, I see I'm faster than Usain Bolt!

Seoul seems big, right?

It's as big as a palm.

At some point, everyone crosses paths briefly.

We just don't know it.

-What's that? -Damn.

Excuse me.

A bottle of soju for 1,000 won

-Hello! -Please take this.

A bottle of soju for 1,000 won

Come check it out.

That car didn't come yet?

No. It won't come until 3:00 p.m.

What would you like?

That'll be 1,000 won.

SPICY SEAFOOD

Why are you giving me this? You have to give me money!

If you don't have money, leave. Go away!

Smile. Look ahead and keep walking.

We have to pretend we're close. Okay?

I need a supplementary textbook, but I don't have enough money.

-College prep academy fee for me. -Hurry.

Thanks.

-Thanks. -Thanks.

-Bye. -Bye.

It's okay.

Hey, smile!

Look ahead and keep walking.

Why are you doing this?

Do you have money? I'm really hungry, and I don't have money.

So you're mugging a little kid?

What's mugging?

This is mugging.

I'll treat you using my MCC,

since you're so hungry.

-What's MCC? -How come you don't know anything?

Mom's credit card, MCC.

Is MCC better than money?

It's similar.

Anyway, don't do that again.

Okay. I won't.

Money is earned with great difficulty.

My mom works hard to earn money.

Without even having time to see me,

from morning to dusk, she only works to earns money.

Why does your mom work so hard to earn money?

You're helpless.

Why do you think?

She earns money so she and I can be happy.

But if all she does is earn money, from morning to dusk,

when will you guys be happy?

Later!

I need to go to the math academy.

I hope you find Heo Joon-jae, the person you're looking for.

Keep this. Don't give it to others. And use it well.

Work a part-time job to earn money.

Since I've lived for a while, I know we need money for everything.

I understand.

I'll be going now. Bye.

Watch it, mister.

Hey, kiddo.

-You need to watch where you're going. -Whatever.

That little thing. How can I be a "mister?"

You! Come over here!

Hey, you're "mister" to her. Let's go. It's almost time.

Come on, Tae-oh. Hurry.

Look, friend. Do you have money?

I need a supplementary textbook, but I don't have enough money.

Look here. Don't mug her.

It's not nice.

What?

You guys don't have MCC?

It's similar to money.

Seriously!

How dare you, with those beggar's clothes!

Promise me...

you won't mug anyone else.

I didn't... I didn't mug her.

We decided to be friends.

You eat... your friends?

Girls! You shouldn't eat your friends!

You shouldn't do that!

Do you eat your friends?

Seriously, don't eat them!

Eat something else!

Are you okay?

-She's totally psycho! -Don't.

Yeah, Mom.

I'm at the academy.

Are you sure? I'm going to call and check later.

Don't hang around bad kids.

Look at your brother.

The poor boy was framed and is suffering so much.

What's the big deal about a crazy kid committing suicide? Bye.

EVERY DAY EVENT 100% WINNING

What's this crap?

It's stopping.

What's going on?

Who are you?

You! You're that jerk who conned me before!

I'm sure I heard you were dead.

Sorry. Looks like I'm quite invincible.

How dare you come here on your own--

What's going on?

It's so dark. Shall I give you some light?

The elevator doors opened. Behind you.

But outside there is a bottomless drop.

What...

What's going on?

Oh, be careful, though. You might step on someone's hands.

Isn't that your son?

Mom! Help me!

-Min-jae! -Mom!

-Hold my hand. -Help me, mom.

-Min-jae! -Help!

-Mom! -No!

No. Hold my hand and come up.

No!

Min-jae, no!

Remember the pain you feel now.

Your son made a kid die.

The kid who fell to his death from the 17th floor.

His mother...

was as sad as you are now.

And she will live in agony forever.

Now...

you will forget everything about those

who have wronged you.

Only remember your remorseful heart

for thosewho are suffering because of you.

Ma'am, are you okay? The elevator stopped all of a sudden.

Contact Attorney Seo and tell him to cancel the lawsuit.

Pardon?

And...

you have the number for the mom whose kid died, right?

Let me meet her.

Why?

I'm going to apologize.

Ma'am, are you feeling okay?

Well...

What the...

Is she crazy? What's up with her?

She seems psychotic.

The heresy of neuroscience.

DIY-ace hypnotist of the medical field.

Heo Joon-jae's talent has not rusted even a bit.

This is really amazing, right?

We can't exactly be proud of what we do.

So I regret I can't show your talent to the world.

-Don't! -By the way...

How do you do hypnosis?

Hey!

Tell him now!

He must be very curious to open those iron-clad lips.

You curious?

This is how you begin.

With the sense of sight.

The brain and eyes are connected.

She got the suggestion from seeing the spam text.

When she saw the number 17 in the elevator,

the hypnosis could take place.

Next, a pattern interrupt.

Shall I give you some light?

Now, the person enters the fantasy world that I created.

But outside there is a bottomless drop.

Mom!

Everything starts with the eyes.

That's where the seduction begins.

Such a coward.

Not everyone falls for that.

So fashion interrupt?

Can I really take this?

Usually no, but I'll keep an eye out. Hurry up and pick something.

This neighborhood is rich.

They throw away new clothes.

You can also go to the Seoul Station for free lunches.

But I can't leave Gangnam.

I can starve, but I can't give up on fashion.

All dressed up like that, you look a bit more bearable now.

Us tall girls look good in everything we wear.

Where are you from?

From the seas.

Overseas! I know that very well!

In my youth,

I went to places like Milan and Paris to buy luxury goods.

But I went bankrupt. I've ruined my family.

I am living in the streets right now,

but I don't have any regrets.

Why did you come to Seoul?

-I'm searching for Heo Joon-jae. -Boyfriend?

Where does he live?

Daechi-dong? Cheogdam-dong?

He just said he lives in Seoul.

What about his number? His phone number?

Oh, dear. He didn't give you his number and ran off.

You didn't realize that and came all the way here?

That's when you need to do an undercover investigation.

What's that?

He never talked about a specific place?

Unconsciously, he's bound to drop hints about places he goes to.

You should go to those places and wait there.

Building 63?

BUILDING 63

4319 ISOO STATION - YANGJAE STATION

162 GANGNAM STATION - BUILDING 63

Thank you.

-Welcome. -Thank you.

Welcome.

You don't have a bus card?

And money?

I have some.

That's not enough.

Just put in what you got.

Thank you.

If I go all the way up, will I see Heo Joon-jae?

Be alert tomorrow.

People will rush in for the re-opening of the aquarium.

-You must be prepared. -Okay.

After all I said, if you guys are late again...

AQUARIUM HOURS: 10:00 - 21:00

Ah, what a relief!

I thought I'd starve to death.

Are you done?

Is it someone's birthday?

It is.

Today is my son's birthday too.

I see.

What did you put in the seaweed soup?

Sea urchin. My son liked sea urchin seaweed soup.

Who are you giving it to?

That guy that won't call you?

Please put the soup into a thermos,

and pack the side dishes nicely in a lunch box.

Okay.

Hey.

You don't seduce men like that.

The time you spend bringing food to him

would be better spent getting a shot of Botox.

I'm just saying you need to love yourself more.

There's a birthday kid at a study group where I volunteer. It's for him.

Who would seduce a man with food? So childish.

I made it with sea urchins.

-I'm not sure if you'll like it. -How did you know about this place?

I just moved here.

It came up coincidentally as I was talking to Nam-doo.

Jo Nam-doo, that deceitful human being.

-Happy birthday, son. -Thank you.

Mom, we're going there today, right?

Sure.

Your dad is busy again. So you and I will go together.

-Where are you going? -It's a secret.

Why the seaweed soup?

Did you make this, Cha Si-ah?

-It's Joon-jae's birthday. -My goodness, look at her.

She doesn't look like it at first glance,

but she'll be a good wife, right?

You made it so pretty.

It's your birthday. We need to have a party.

There's a good wine bar I know in Gyeongridan-gil.

It's good there! Sounds fun!

-Reserve it! -I have an appointment.

-What appointment? -What is it?

You always do this on your birthday, get all sentimental.

Where are you going? Who are you meeting? We can go too.

-Hey. Are you bored? -Yes? Yes, very much.

Then go to the wine bar with Si-ah. Go party. Take Tae-oh.

That was good. Thanks.

Happy birthday! Have fun.

He won't fall for it. Such a hard-headed guy.

Joon-jae isn't meeting a girl, right?

-Did he meet someone? -No.

With his brain structure, it's hard for him to have a girl.

He can't make decisions, nor stay focused.

He'll let any woman cross a certain line, but no woman will ever cross that one.

Did you really make this?

Are you kidding? The maid made it.

Joon-jae, we should go together.

Mom, I'm going to play around until the door closes.

Be careful. I'll go with you.

Joon-jae!

Oh! It's a mermaid!

That's right!

There's still 30 minutes left until the mermaid show.

Did they start already?

-Mom. -Yes?

The mermaid... swallowed the fish.

No way.

The Mermaid Princess is friends with the fish.

She never eats them.

Mermaid Princess! Oh, so pretty!

The show wasn't supposed to start yet. Did the diver go under already?

Yes, it seems like it.

Look!

Who is she?

Who's in the water?

-Someone's in the water? -Exactly.

How could that happen?

Especially on the reopening day? Isn't this a huge security breach?

Isn't it that girl?

Are you the one who did a mermaid show?

How did you get in?

Excuse me.

Talk to us, please.

Guess who I met in Itaewon.

I met Tomás.

He said he'll kill you the next time he sees you.

I also have a conclusive photo that proves you met a girl in Spain.

Are you going to keep denying it?

Catch her! She must be a spy from another company?

Oh, I'm so sorry.

-We have to catch her! -What are you doing? Hurry!

EPILOGUE

I'm sorry, Heo Joon-jae.

Take this.

I know you liked it.

You probably won't remember me. Still...

I will keep my promise.

I'll go to you.

Even if there's a windy rainstorm,

or when the sun shines down on me.

When I'm lonely and without anyone by my side,

and even if it's somewhere I've never been before...

I will endure it all...

and be sure to go to you.

I love you.

Who are you? Do you know me?

You do. You even know my name.

Who is he with?

A girl.

The girl you met in Spain, you're meeting her in Korea?

What the heck? Why are you doing this to me?

How can you bring her home?

She's extremely dumb.

-You're the perfect Sim Cheong. -I like it.
