- Nice.
- That was good.

- That was pretty nice.
- Look at this.

I guess people are allowed to
dress like that on TV nowadays.

Dong Chan.

I'm free on Friday.

Would you like...

to meet?

It took me a lot of
courage to ask you this.

Sure.

Let's meet.

You can pick the location.

Okay.

(Episode 4: Some Like It Cold)

Is there anything you'd like to say to me?

What's his problem?

This is impossible. No way.
I can't believe this.

She even had the exact same voice.

(Mi Ran, it's me, Kyung Ja.
Mi Ran, I miss you.)

Mi Ran,

I heard from your mother...

that you moved to the US.

I can't understand it.

How could you leave without telling us?

Darn her.

How could she do this to us?

It's so rude.

You know Mi Ran's address, don't you?

Yes. It's Seongdong-gu, Seoul...

Hey!

- I need her email address.
- Right.

G,

- O...
- G, O...

Kyung Ja... Young Sun...

I miss you guys too.

(Reply)

(Send)

I'm trying to regain my strength.

For what?

I keep on...

seeing hallucinations these days.

That's because your
head is full of garbage.

What is it? Is it hard to
keep up with your new girl?

Do you need the help of herbal medicine?

I'm not seeing people anymore.
I quit women.

You're talking nonsense.

Do you have any candy?

I bet a lot of courses changed at school.

Will you be able to follow?

You should take a break and regain
your energy before you start.

I already took such a long break.

That's true.

You sure took a long break.

Mi Ran.

Don't push yourself too
hard and take it easy.

Dad, do you know how
tough it is to get a job?

It's worse than 20 years ago.

I wonder why that is.

That's because there are fewer
jobs they need people for.

A lot of machines took over.

Yes. That must be why.

Nam Tae, you've gotten so smart.

We're doing okay now.

You don't have to work so hard anymore.

You should live while doing what you love.

You don't have to worry about...

paying rent or repaying debt
like you did 20 years ago.

The family will get by
without you having to work.

It's been 20 years for you two,

but it's been just a day for me.

How can I change the way
I think over just a day?

That's how it is for me.

I feel like I should
find work to make money.

I'm losing sleep over job hunting.

Anyway, I'm too depressed to sleep...

knowing that I was sleeping for 20 years.

You've had enough sleep.

("Introduction to Abnormal Psychology")

What's your major?

I'm in PE. I'm Baek Young
Jun, and I'm a freshman.

I hope we get along.

Hey. That girl is just my type.

Her fashion tells me she doesn't
care about what others think.

Gosh. He sure has good taste.

It's so bitter.

All right. I'm your professor...

for "Introduction to Abnormal Psychology",

Hwang Dong Hyuk.

- Sir!
- Mr. Hwang!

It's that man from yesterday.

He was a professor?

What's wrong with him?

- Hello.
- Hi.

You're a new face.

- Have you worked in this field?
- Yes.

I guess I have.

I see. Which shows have you made?

Didn't you do variety shows?
Then what did you do?

Are you the director of Variety Team?

Don't you know who I am?

I see. Did you get in through connections?

I'm Park Woong Soo.

You know "One Must Eat To Live", don't you?

I'm the one who made it.

It's not easy being a
director of a variety show.

Sure, it might look cool and easy.

It must look like a job
where you can slack off.

What? "Slack off"?

What are you talking about?
This is like a battlefield.

- Of course it...
- Variety Team is tough.

You should think it through.

Do you know how much work is
required to get the funds...

for an international shoot?

Of course, companies
sponsor on shows that I do,

but everyone else is hardly holding on.

The director has to bring
in the funds themselves?

You're so naive.

Who else would do it
other than the director?

Shooting the show is trivial work.

Securing sponsors is the
real part of the job.

Just take it easy with your job.

It's not like you're trying to get
scouted to a cable channel, are you?

Especially if you landed
the job through connections.

By the way, you're really
handsome for a director.

Let me take a look.

Is this necessary for a director?

I'm pretty good looking,
but you're way too handsome.

Gosh, what a work of art.

What are you doing?

Good morning, Chief.

Sir...

Haven't you taught your employees?

What did I do wrong this time?

This guy here. He has a rotten mentality.

You jerk.

You need to teach them
the right attitude first.

He told me to take it easy.

Why are all the employees just like you?

I'm sorry.

Hey.

When did you start working here?

You punk.

You better work properly.

You should worth your paycheck.

You said we have a program planning
meeting, right? Where is it at?

Are all of you out of your minds?

Don't you know what year it is?

Do you think such proposals will work?

This is why people say you're
not worth your paycheck.

Do you think we're still in the 1990s?

Even broadcasting stations could go under.

We can only survive if we do our best.

Why do you think this happened to
broadcasting stations, Mr. Son?

What? Why? Well...

It's because...

I think this happened...

because the one at the top hasn't changed.

My opinion is that the higher-ups...

who only talk are the problems.

You annihilate talents who are creative,

and you break their challenging
and experimental spirits.

What are you talking about?

You only focus on the ratings,

so you only end up making
shows that are safe.

That's how we end up with
the same shows everywhere.

Are there any shows in Korea...

that the viewers actually want to see?

They don't have a choice.

They have to watch whatever we're airing.

There are cable channels
and online platforms too.

It's fierce out there,
yet you expect to survive...

while thinking so backwardly?

I watched television like
crazy for the last few days...

since I had to learn
the broadcasting trend.

So, Ma Dong...

Anyway, do you have an idea?

I came up with a few items.

For example,
we can set up an observational camera.

It's an amalgamation of
documentary and variety shows.

In the end, variety shows...

are meant to show humans.

We'll find an island,

and a few celebrities will go there...

to make 3 meals a day. 3 meals a day.

Should I continue?

How about this?

We'll make singers wear masks
so no one knows who they are,

then we'll make them
compete against each other.

- "King of Mask Singer".
- Survival games...

always work, you know.

They can be ranked.

What's with everyone?

You seem unenthusiastic.

What is this?

Do people drink soda without sugar now?

Are you trying to be funny?

What is this supposed to taste like?

Freud...

used the desire to eat,
have sex, and excrete...

as the basis...

to analyze dreams.

Through our dreams,

our secret subconscious...

In 20 years, Hwang Byung Sim
would look just like him.

Being conscious about our subconscious...

is Freud's...

- basic theory.
- Gosh, this is boring.

After sleeping for 20 years,
how can I be sleepy again?

Our goal is to understand
what psychology is about.

That's all for today.

- Let's go.
- Thank you.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

- Wait!
- Professor.

We haven't received the syllabus yet.

What?

This is cool.

So I should use this.

Dong Chan, we should
probably hide your identity.

Even if I treat you casually
when others are around,

- please understand...
- Sure.

But when we're alone,
I won't be polite to you. Is that okay?

Why would you even ask?
You've never been polite to me.

Hyun Gi, you've grown a lot, by the way.

I'll be 50 soon.
I'm not sure that's appropriate.

Right. You sure have aged.

I do feel a bit uncomfortable
talking so casually to you.

No way. You look absolutely comfortable.

I never cared about hierarchy
in the old days either.

I remember that.

That's why I can treat you
casually so easily now.

Regardless of age,
I can't stand anyone talking nonsense.

Of course. You didn't fear anything
then, and neither do you now.

You're right.

Dong Chan.

I'm saying this to help you,
so please don't take it personally.

What is it? Go ahead.

I've been thinking about it,

and I'm afraid your creativity
got frozen that day...

along with your brain.

Your creativity is completely gone.

What? My creativity is gone?

Are you done?

You said I could say it.

Yes! Say anything you want.
I'm not stopping you.

Gosh, this is frustrating.

It took me courage to tell you this.

The world is changing fast.
We have to work hard...

to find out what our viewers
want to become successful.

That's what you told me 20 years ago
when I was an assistant director.

And that's exactly what I
want to tell you right now.

Otherwise,
you won't survive in Variety Team.

All right. I'll work harder.

A variety show director has to be...

sensitive to change.
You know that better than anyone else.

Keeping up with the times is not enough.
You have to be ahead...

I get it! But I need some time.

I'm Ma Dong Chan.
I can do anything I set my mind to.

- Hello.
- This is Ko Mi Ran.

Ms. Ko?

How did you get my...

My phone didn't work,
so I gave her your number.

Why are you stuttering?
Did you do anything wrong?

No.

- Hello.
- Based on my memorandum,

I want a meeting with
the broadcasting station.

Let's meet in a week.

- Are you still there?
- Yes, I am.

Let's talk more in person.

The two of us?

No. I want to meet everyone
involved in this at the station.

President Kim!

What is it now?

Ko Mi Ran wants to meet us.

- What?
- And she said...

something about her memorandum.

- I have no idea what that is.
- Her memorandum?

Her memorandum...

Mr. President, I had to go through hoops...

to persuade Dong Chan to
participate in this experiment.

He'll have to risk his
life for the project.

It's not an easy decision to
make for a regular director.

But I reviewed the experiment
from many different angles,

and it looked absolutely solid.
That's how I persuaded him.

President, if we make this work,

it'll be a huge plus for not only
the reputation of our station...

but also for your political career.

Yes.

(Chief Kim Hong Suk)

Sir, I'll come to see you later.

Okay.

Ms. Ko, welcome.

Have a seat.

You don't have to worry about that.

I'll persuade Director Ma.

Now that you said yes,
he must be getting cold feet.

You're doing it, right?

Yes, I am.

Of course.

This will help you land a job
later more than any experience.

The first cryonics experiment
subject like the first astronaut.

That sounds all good.

But why don't we sign a memorandum first?

A memorandum?

Professor Hwang, do you recognize me?

I'm Gi Bum. Jo Gi Bum, your assistant.

My assistant?

Yes. You did it.

Your cryonics experiment succeeded.

It didn't only last for 24 hours.
It lasted for 20 years.

My cryonics experiment?

Do you remember anything?

- Cryonics.
- Cry...

I want to cry.

Okay.

I'll make sure your memories come back.

That will solve everything.

You can't eat it. It's not a candy.

Professor Hwang, calm down.

Look at me.

- Hang in there.
- Look at my finger.

Clench your fist.

Slowly. Clench it tight.

Clench your fist.

Professor Hwang. My goodness.

Is this what you use for editing now?

I can't believe it.

Aren't you cold?

If you're cold, put on more clothes.
I can't take off any more clothes.

This was Korea's biggest event in 2002.

Korea made it to the World Cup semifinals.

I edited it myself just for you.

A Summary of 20 Years of World History.

I'm sure you left out the
most important events.

"Director Ma Dong Chan's
cryonics experiment".

"Ma Dong Chan went missing."

Unbelievable.
A black man became the US president?

We even had a female president.

She's behind bars now though.

So the current Korean president is
Moon Jae In. Who's the US president?

Donald Trump.
He used to run a real estate business.

Times sure have changed, I guess.

Who's this woman, by the way?

Oh, she? She's the woman
I had an affair with.

And why are you showing her to me?

What contribution has she
made to the world history?

I just thought you should know.

- Why?
- I'm a variety show director.

I want every video I
make to be extraordinary.

Gosh.

Isn't she beautiful?

What should I do not to end up like you?

Get a cell phone first.

That's called Tetris Dance.

I met her while making a show about it.

Don't say another word.

Fine.

Are you cold?

Do you mean he was hired...

through his connections
with News Department Chief?

I'm sure. Didn't you all see that?

He brought up "King of Mask
Singer" and "Three Meals a Day".

He's not qualified at all.

Chief couldn't say anything to him either.

He seemed to be so intimidated.

Is News Department Chief so powerful?

Here's something I heard.

You've all heard about a variety
show director who mysteriously...

disappeared in the middle of
shooting a show 20 years ago, right?

- Of course.
- Of course.

Everyone's heard about it.

It's a legend that's been
passed down in Variety Team.

Some people say the new hire is that guy.

No way.

If he joined the station 20 years ago,

he must have been at least 26 years old.

That means he's at least 46 years old now.

You didn't see his face?

- He can't be older than 30.
- He's right. That's absurd.

You don't know that.

When he went missing,
it was all over the news.

But after a while, a gag order was issued.

All the footage was deleted too.

But apparently,
many people had already seen it,

and some information started circulating.

And the new hire is the
director who went missing.

If anyone hears you say
that, you'll be fired.

Be careful, everyone.

Moreover, he used to be a
legendary variety show director.

A genius planner.

That's how a legend should end.

He's seriously good-looking.

I'd love to work with him
as an assistant director.

That also proves that he has connections.

A director can never look that good.

Right. All directors look like you.

By the way, what is Ko Mi
Ran planning to do to us?

I don't know.

I have a bad feeling about this.
It's making me nervous.

What?

Leslie Cheung died on April Fools' Day.

It felt like a lie.

I can't remember anything!

(One dollar)

50 dollars?

- Hello, everyone!
- Hello, everyone!

You're watching "Run, Quick Man".

- Look over there.
- My gosh.

Hey, what in the world is that?

It's called a drone.

"Drone"? How high does it fly?

Are you hot, my baby?

Dogs are everywhere.

Frozen squid.

Thawed squid.

Frozen dumplings. Thawed dumplings.

"Thaw".

Frozen...

They're thawed...

Professor Hwang, do you remember anything?

Professor Hwang.

You need to remember who
were inside those capsules.

Those two people woke up.

But they'll be in danger if
you don't retrieve your memory.

Oh, gosh.

Hello.

(Memorandum)

Hello.

I'm Ko Mi Ran,
and I turned 44 years old this year.

I'm 48.

Why don't you all take a
look at the memorandum?

Did everyone read it?

Yes, well...

I fully understand the
situation you're in...

and what you're trying to say.

The broadcasting station...

is very sorry about what happened to you,

and we'd like to sincerely apologize...

Listen to me.
I'm not here to get an apology.

I don't need an apology.

Do you really think you can
end this with an apology?

No, of course not.

I ask for compensation.

Back in 1999,

I got 6,500 dollars for agreeing
to be frozen for 24 hours.

Am I right, Director Ma?

Wasn't it 5,000 dollars?

I paid her 1,500 dollars with my own money.

Oh, I see.

Then let's say you paid me
5,000 dollars for 24 hours.

That's 200 dollars per hour.

There are 8,760 hours in 1 year.

So that's 1,752,000 dollars per year.

And if I times that by 20...

Maybe the battery's out.

What's going on?

Give me that.

Three...

35,040,000 dollars?

Did you hear that? That's my compensation.

But of course,
that's excluding the difference...

of the market price
compared to 20 years ago.

Let me get to my point.

20 years ago, the bus fare was 50 cents.

But now, it's double that price.

You can round it down.

If we round it down...

70,000,000 dollars?

70,000,000 dollars.

You owe me 70,000,000 dollars.

Hear me out, Ms. Ko.

We fully understand how upset
and frustrated you must feel.

But 70,000,000 dollars is
a huge amount of money.

Our broadcasting station...

isn't even worth that much.

Is the broadcasting station broke?

Why are you talking as if
we're running a pop-up store?

That's going to make her anxious.

Be quiet!

I honestly don't think
the 70,000,000 dollars...

will be enough to compensate
for the 20 years I lost.

But we should handle this realistically.

If it wasn't for that darn experiment...

Mi Ran!

Please lower your voice.

I would've had a family by now...

and lived a happy life. Do you understand?

Listen, Mi Ran.

We'll do our best to
come up with a measure.

So please give us a little bit more time.

We'll think about various ways...

to soothe your resentment.

And of course,
it's not like 70,000,000 dollars...

will bring you back the
20 years that you lost.

But try thinking about it
in a different perspective.

To be honest, you're 20 years
younger than your peers.

- Yes, exactly.
- Don't you agree?

You survived.

It's a better world
compared to 20 years ago.

You can totally enjoy your life.

What do you think?

How about you give it a shot
and get frozen for 20 years?

You don't even know what it's like.

Drink a cold cup of water.

What are we going to do?

She's a complete lunatic!

Why did you make her
participate in the experiment?

What kind of sane person would
participate in that experiment?

We're in big trouble.

How are we going to deal with this?

I thought I'd be able
to settle everything...

by giving her my pension.

How about we just reveal everything...

and willingly...

get judged by the law?

What in the world is wrong with your head?

What kind of a dumb idea is that?

They're coming out.

Let's go, Mi Ran. I'll drive you home.

It's okay, I can walk.

Just get in.
I'm sure you're not fully well yet.

Of course not. I'm aching all over.

(Seoul, G2590)

I can't believe that car's still running.
Isn't it cool?

You're right.

If I wasn't frozen for 20 years,

Leslie Cheung would still be alive.

How does that make any sense?
Are you a sophist?

I told you that he was
scheduled to visit Korea...

a few days after the experiment, right?

Yes. I even promised I'd
let you see him in person.

Yes.

If I had met him then,

I would've helped him
find the desire to live.

He would have had the will
to live while thinking of me.

Then he wouldn't have
ended his life in vain.

What is this? I'm speechless.

If that's your way of
thinking, then we can assume...

you might have died in a car accident...

if you weren't frozen.

Are you serious? Do you even hear yourself?

It's true, if we follow your logic.

You never know what could've
happened to you in 20 years.

Life isn't always filled with good things.

Are you going to keep on nitpicking?

In those 20 years,
I could've won the lottery too.

No, no. That would never happen.

Why not?

Why is it possible for
me to die in an accident,

but not win the lottery?

I'm saying we should consider probability.

I could've married Leslie,

or a really cool man...

Gosh.

Isn't it more likely to meet a
strange guy than a cool guy...

based on the data you have
from the years you've lived?

On what grounds are you
making these comments?

Don't tell me...

you're using my ridiculous
ex-boyfriend for the data?

See?

You admitted that your
ex-boyfriend was ridiculous.

No, I...

There aren't many cool guys out there,

nor do you have high
chances of meeting them...

What happened?

Did the car die on me because
the air conditioning is too high?

Mi Ran.

Get out.

Get out and take a taxi.

Why... Why isn't this working?

Ko...

Mi Ran?

Is that you, Mi Ran?

Hello, Mr. Hwang.

It's unbelievable.

I heard a lot about you from my mom.

- Your mom?
- Yes.

Ko Mi Ran is my mother.

Then...

what about your mother?

She passed away in a car
accident when I was 11.

She died at the scene.

Until her death, she missed only one man.

Do you know what her last words were?

"The only love I had in my
life was Hwang Byung Sim."

No, Mi Ran!

By the way,

if she died instantly in the car accident,

when did she leave her last words?

Hey! Did you forget the
herbal medicine on the stove?

It's all burnt! Gosh.

I don't know what to do. Hey!

That jerk...

I'm so sick of junk emails.

Who is it?

"Mi Ran"?

Who's "Mi Ran"?

Mi Ran?

Kyung Ja, this is Mi Ran.

(Kyung Ja, this is Mi Ran.)

Ko Mi Ran?

I'm sorry I'm only replying now.

I miss you so much.

Oh my goodness, Mi Ran.

Yes, Kyung Ja.

Mi Ran contacted me.

Mi Ran? Ko Mi Ran?

Yes.

She wants to meet.

What? Where is she right now?

Hey, Nam Tae.

Mi Ran.

Here.

(Mi Ran, Nam Tae)

Did you bake this yourself?

It's delicious.

Mi Ran, I also have...

this.

If you keep rubbing it,

it warms up. It's a hand warmer.

You were...

- in the cold all this time.
- Thank you.

I'll hold this tight in my hands.

Goodnight, Mi Ran.

(Park Kyung Ja)

Let's meet right now.

Kyung Ja.

Sitting here like this...

makes me feel like we
went back to 20 years ago.

You're right.

Ha Young.

Do you remember?

You said...

you're scared...

I might turn cold like
ice after the experiment.

I'm not the one who changed,

it's you.

I can understand.

I'm sure the 20 years I spent
is different from yours.

I didn't physically spend
the 20 years like you did,

so I was unable to change.
But it must be different for you.

Do I still...

look like...

a woman to you?

Yes,

you do.

Where is she? Gosh.

Young Sun, look. Isn't that Mi Ran?

- Gosh, it's Mi Ran.
- It's her.

- Mi Ran!
- Mi Ran!

- Gosh, Mi Ran! Mi Ran!
- Mi Ran! Mi Ran!

It's me, it's me.

- Kyung Ja.
- Kyung Ja.

- Young Sun?
- Young Sun.

Kyung Ja. Young Sun.

How... How can this be?

I know, right? She didn't change a bit!

Guys.

- Gosh.
- How can this happen?

Why haven't you contacted us in 20 years?

I was busy in the US.

You're so mean. That's no excuse.

By the way, did you get married?

Not yet. What about you guys?

I know Kyung Ja's dream
was to become a good wife.

I guess it was.

I'm divorced.

I hate all men now.

You won't believe who
this girl is married to.

You don't want to know.

I can't believe it myself.

So why did you suddenly
disappear and stop talking to us?

We had all kinds of thoughts about
what might have happened to you.

She's right. Horrible incidents
were happening around that time.

And your mother told us...

that you went to the US to study.

How can you look exactly the
same as you did 20 years ago?

You guys look the same too.

I've been taking good care of myself.

People do tell me that I
look like I'm in my 20s...

all the time.

- Cut it out. The thing is,
- I'm tired of it.

you're on a whole other level.

- You haven't aged at all.
- Right.

- You think so?
- Yes.

Maybe it's because I've been
sleeping for the past 20 years.

What are you talking about?

You'd still age though.

So what did you do?

Did you undergo some secret
procedures or something?

Yes, tell us the truth.

What did you do?

In the US, they use root cells...

It's stem cells, you fool.

- It doesn't matter.
- I can't believe you.

I heard they're developing
scientific techniques...

that use cells to prevent aging.

- Is that what you did?
- Is that true?

Is that it?

What is it?

I'm grateful that you guys
have been doing so well.

I have to use the bathroom.

Did she live on preservatives
in the US for 20 years?

I'm sure she did something in the US.

It can't be Botox or plastic surgery.

It's impossible.

When it comes to plastic
surgery, Korea is the best.

I know that.

She's hiding something from us.

Medicine has come a long way,

but you can't achieve that
with medical procedures only.

Exactly.

Unless she's become a
vampire or been frozen...

Has she been frozen?

No way.

Impossible.

- No?
- No.

Hi, Mom.

My class is over.

By the way, Dad must be having a hard time.

He's playing the piano alone.

He's crying too.

I'm sure it's hard for him.

His brother came back after 20 years.

Is the galbi for Table Three ready yet?

It's coming!

Go straight home, okay?

(Korean Style Restaurant Jinsagalbi)

I'll cut it up later.

Are you full?

We ate as much as we wanted.

It was so tasty.
We'll definitely come back.

Come again, sir.

Does she think she can make them come
back, looking like that?

Is she putting on lipstick or eating it?

Dad!

Are you okay?

After playing the piano
with all the energy I have,

I often fall down like this.

I have low blood pressure.

Then quit playing the piano.

But I'm an artist.

Surviving is more important.

Art comes after that.

Get up.

Turn around.

You're the director. Act like one.

Keep your dignity.

I'll go out first.

Calm yourself down and
come out in five minutes.

Gosh, I'm dizzy.

Sir! We have a problem.

What is it now?

An article...

(Director Appears after 20 Years)

"A TV director who
disappeared 20 years ago..."

"showed up looking exactly the same,"

"leaving everyone in shock."

(Director Appears after 20 Years)

"Where was he for the past 20 years?"

"What is the broadcasting station hiding?"

"He has no twin brother.
Could it be his doppelganger?"

"Could he have been locked up by aliens?"

"Could he have been
experimented on by them?"

How imaginative.

This journalist specializes in mysteries.

Will it be all right?

If people find out that I
came back after 20 years,

it might put someone in danger.

What do you mean?

What happened?

What did I tell you?

Did you see the article about
the director who came back?

I'm sure it has something
to do with Mi Ran.

My hunches are always right.

I had a hunch when my
ex-husband cheated on me too.

I'm having a hunch this time too.

Yes!

You don't trust my hunch?
I'm 100 percent sure.

Anyway, what's important
is that she came back safe.

("Invitation to the Unconscious")

Why did Ko Mi Ran show up
in my unconscious mind?

What could be the reason?

Is she an existential being?

Or...

(Director Appears after 20 Years)

Oh, my. What will happen to my son?

The broadcasting station people...

need to plan something.

Those jerks...

He doesn't look like my brother.

Look at his facial expression and eyes.

He's someone else.

What should we do now?

People won't leave us alone.

The picture doesn't do him justice.

He looks better in real life.

I'll go to the broadcasting station...

and settle things with them.

I'll teach those jerks a lesson!

- Okay, let's go.
- Mom, I'll come with you.

Stop! Grandma.

We need to calm down.

Uncle becoming a celebrity
wouldn't hurt us.

Now that Professor Hwang has woken up,

we're over the hump.

Is each cryonic capsule...

sponsored by someone?

Going into a cryonic capsule...

costs a fortune.

How were our capsules financed then?

They were sponsored by
Johnson McCarthy Foundation.

Professor Hwang wished to achieve this...

using Korean capital and technology only.

But I guess that's failed.

It's been sponsored by
McCarthy Foundation...

for 20 years already.

You're right.

By the way,

I have a question.

Go ahead.

It's about my body temperature.

Is my normal body temperature...

31.5 degrees Celsius after the experiment?

That's correct.

The critical point is 33 degrees Celsius.

(The Disappearance of
Director Ma Dong Chan)

He was declared dead,

but there were many suspicious things.

This man is the murder
suspect of Professor Johnson.

If he was 35 years old back then,
he'd be 55 years old by now.

Professor Hwang witnessed
Professor Johnson get murdered.

And he got into an accident...

on his way to meet a CIA
agent to make a statement.

So in other words,

it's highly possible that this
man was the one who caused...

Professor Hwang's car to explode.

Why did the CIA suddenly put
an end to the investigation...

when even the Korean police
are suspicious about him?

He became a Russian senator.

He's not someone they can mess with.

So you think he's the culprit?

But what if it's not him?

(Unsung Group CEO, Lee Seok Du)

I think we should carry
out a background check.

Are you saying Professor
Hwang might not be dead?

That's right. No one succeeded
in finding his dead body.

And there's something very important.

A director that disappeared 20
years ago suddenly showed up.

But the thing is, he looks exactly
the same as he did 20 years ago.

And I even heard that he
was gathering information...

about Professor Hwang's
experiment back then.

Are you sure about that?

Yes, I'm sure.
I even read an article about it today.

What should I do, sir?

I want you to check if
Professor Hwang is alive or not.

And...

do a background check about that director.

Okay, sir.

And if it turns out that
Professor Hwang is still alive,

we should get rid of him.

By the way,

do people still think
the Russian senator...

is the one who killed Professor Hwang?

Yes, I think so.

A cryonics experiment?

My goodness.

I was so shocked the moment I saw you...

because you hadn't changed at all.
So that's what happened?

You participated in that
experiment yourself?

I guess that's why you met
Professor Hwang back then.

There's also one more
thing you need to know.

- Professor Hwang isn't dead.
- What?

He's still alive,
but no one's supposed to know.

I'm telling you because I need your help.

I was also suspicious
about his death back then.

By the way, are you feeling okay?

Can I borrow your cell phone?

The number you've dialed
is not available now.

My gosh, how long is he
planning to live like a caveman?

He really should get a new cell phone.

Who's calling?

Hello?

Hey, it's me.

- Did you get a new cell phone?
- No, not yet.

Did you get home safely that day?

You totally abandoned me
in the middle of the road.

I guess that made you feel uneasy.

Do you feel sick by any chance?

I'm aching all over.
How do you expect me to be fine?

I'm sorry.

Make sure you don't get a fever.

Apparently, we need to be careful.

What's that supposed to mean?

Anyway, if you ever get a fever...

or feel sick in any kind of
way, call me right away.

Let's talk again face to face.
I'll hang up for now.

What's his deal? I really don't
know what I should do with him.

He told me to call,
but he doesn't even have a cell phone.

- Who was that?
- Another subject of the experiment.

There's another person?

Shouldn't you know that if
you went through my texts?

Didn't you get the hint?

I thought it was about another experiment.

You guys participated in
that experiment together?

You were both frozen?

(Job Fair, Hanguk University)

Watch out for the ball! Watch out!

Are you here for an interview?
Did you bring your resume?

Yes.

(Resume)

"Ko Mi Ran".

How old are you?

(Date of Birth: February 14, 1976)

You were born in 1976?

Did you enter university at a late age?

No, not exactly.

It's because of something personal.

Let's see your work experiences.
All you did was participate...

as a subject in "Infinite
Experiment Paradise" in 1999.

Yes.

You're 44 years old, and you want
to get a job as a new recruit?

You're not married,
and you don't even have a job.

What in the world did you do?

I was frozen in the freezer, okay?

Isn't she really cute?

Yes, she is.

My gosh, does that mean
the rumors were true?

Shouldn't our broadcasting station
do an exclusive cover on this?

This is a huge scoop.

Get back to work! A huge scoop, my foot!

We need to talk.

Sure, go ahead.

Why didn't you look for me...

when I disappeared?

What?

Well...

And why didn't you tell the
cops about the experiment?

If you had told them what happened,
they could've done an investigation.

Well...

- Wait...
- How could you do this to me?

Dong Chan, please...

Dong Chan, the CC...

What? What are you trying to say?

The CCTV.

You can't hit me.

The world has changed
compared to 20 years ago.

You could end up losing your job.

Hey, are you trying to lecture me?

Dong Chan, I'm really sorry.

But I really had no choice.

Darn it!

Did you get rid of all the video footage?

What about Jin, the floor director?

Tell me everything you know that I don't.

After you disappeared,

we put an end to that project.

There was nothing I could do back then.

I was just an assistant director
who had absolutely no power.

I just did what I was told.

And right now, you're just
a chief who still has no power.

You still follow orders, don't you?

Dong Chan, this is tormenting for me too.

We worked together for years.

How could you of all people...

pretend like nothing ever
happened even when I disappeared?

You don't even deserve to
be called a human being.

What brings you here?

Director Ma, can you get me a job?

A job?

Yes, I want a job.

Where?

Right here at the broadcasting station.

Here?

(Melting Me Softly)

You're asking me to work as
an intern for three months?

Something's weird about her.

Dong Chan! Please don't cause a fuss.

I'm not going to lie!

You also didn't look for me...

just like the others even when you knew?

Do we need to keep living like this?

This is really cool.

Why do you think they locked us
up in a refrigerated container?

Are you okay?

Mi Ran! Mi Ran, wake up!

I'm sorry.
