CHARACTERS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS, AND INCIDENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

ALL CHILD ACTORS FILMED IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT

Darn it.

WITNESSES STATE COUPLE ARGUED IN BAR THE NIGHT OF DISAPPEARANCE

SHE WAS SEEN ARGUING WITH HER BOYFRIEND

I was mad because she kept wanting to break up after a fight.

I only meant to intimidate her but…

You only meant to intimidate her so you stabbed her three times?

He was the last one to see her, and they had a huge fight.

Her blood was even found on his clothes.

Where is she now? I want to talk to her.

She's in the ICU.

Bring her here. I'm not talking until she shows up.

Bring her. Oof.

- Nice and comfy. - Get up.

- Bring her to me. - Get up!

I'm not saying a word.

I'm staying right here until she comes.

CALL ME WHEN YOU SEE THIS

SOL-HEE

Where is she?

Where is she? Tell me!

Eom-ho.

I didn't kill her.

I've done things I'm not proud of,

but I didn't kill her.

It wasn't me.

Are you saying she killed herself again?

I'm sick of hearing that. Why would she do that?

Because I was her dream.

But I told her

I wanted to break up.

Why did you let him go?

Did you cash in after setting him free?

I'm sorry we weren't able to find your sister.

It's you. The detective from Hakcheon.

You brought along a cop?

I'm taking you both to the station.

No.

There's no need for that.

Hey, Choi Eom-ho!

- Go! Get out of here. - Let go. What are you doing?

Let go of me.

That knife…

He's only carrying it around because of me.

He won't use it on anyone else so don't worry.

You think it's okay to let him go just because you say so?

Assault crimes don't work like that.

Why?

Are you afraid people will find out who you are?

Kim Seung-ju?

I was worried about Sol-hee so I went over,

but then I saw you going somewhere in a hurry so I followed.

Does Sol-hee know? That you're Kim Seung-ju?

Yes.

But she's still seeing you?

She knows I'm not a killer.

Anyway,

thank you for your help.

No need to thank me.

If anything happens to Sol-hee, I'll kill you myself.

Do you still have feelings for her?

Sol-hee

has had a hard life,

and I only want her to be happy. So

you better not be a murderer

and you better not die.

Don't let her see what happened to your face.

Hide it.

I can't.

Not from Sol-hee.

Because she can hear lies?

Sounds like you don't believe her.

I get where you're coming from,

but I'll make her happy in my own way.

You don't have to worry.

Go! Get out of here.

Because I was her dream.

You hid it in the freezer?

Wow, great idea.

Dad, no! You can't take that!

Let go of me!

You little…!

I told you not to hit her.

You punk. This is how you treat your father?

Are you going to punch me? Huh?

Go ahead. Punch me, you bastard.

No, no, no, no!

No!

You can't go after him. Let him go.

That's all the money I've been saving up!

He'll be back again tomorrow and the day after that.

He'll even show up at your office.

Why were you saving up?

To go to college.

College?

You want to go to college?

I wish I had dreams too.

I feel so small when I'm with Seung-ju.

You don't need any dreams.

Your dream should be Seung-ju.

He's the only one who can save you

from this place.

Do you understand?

Do-ha.

Are you okay?

Yes, what about you?

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

I'm so relieved.

How did you run into that guy?

I don't know.

He suddenly came out of nowhere at my building.

He was so creepy.

Are you alone right now? Where's your manager?

I didn't tell anyone.

I don't want you to get in trouble.

You have to tell them.

Ask for more bodyguards.

I'm sorry.

This is my fault.

No, I'm just glad to hear your voice.

I realized

that it's a million times better

having you around even if you're with someone else

than you being dead.

Do-ha, I'm sorry. Please, don't die.

Lock up tight.

And be careful.

I have to go.

Take care, Do-ha.

Huh?

Did you sleep well?

Oh, yes.

I ordered some sandwiches and got you some too.

Here.

Why are you wearing a mask again?

This looks good. Thanks.

Did you catch a cold?

It was a little cold when we were camping.

It's not a cold.

Thanks for this.

I wanted to see you.

The sandwich was just an excuse.

I came over to see you.

Can't you show me your face?

What happened to your face?

What did you go there for?

You're lucky nothing worse happened.

Eom-ho showed up at Syaon's place.

I thought it'd be better to meet him myself in person.

And there were some things I wanted to say to him.

As if he'd have given you a chance to talk. Look at your face.

You should've called the police.

I didn't call,

but a cop did show up.

What?

You mean, Kang-min?

He found out I was Kim Seung-ju.

He came to our neighborhood worried about you, and followed me there.

And thankfully, I got some help.

So that's why he asked me to call.

Was that man arrested?

No.

I told him to let him go.

Why?

I talked things through with Eom-ho.

He won't be

coming back again.

You don't have to worry.

Pick two or three cards.

Hello.

- Hey, come here for a sec. - What is it?

You went to bodyguard school, right?

Do you know anyone who's interested in private security?

Sure, a lot.

Who needs security?

My next door neighbor.

Your next door neighbor…

You mean, Kim Do-ha?

Yes.

How much would it cost? Are wages by the hour or by the day?

Should I do it? I'll give you a good rate.

You're already working for me. You must have a lot of time on your hands.

Well, I could…

Hello.

I heard what you did. Thank you.

Sol-hee…

- The thing is... - Kang-min.

He didn't do it.

I know.

I know he was cleared of the charges,

but he's someone you're seeing.

He lives next door to you and shares meals with you…

I know it's not my business, but I'm worried about you.

I can't help it.

Remember our first date?

When I said I liked coffee,

you said you did too and ordered the same one as me.

I liked that lie.

And I thought that if you ever stopped lying about that,

our love would be over too.

That's what I thought on my own.

Sol-hee, back then…

I know. I know now.

But back then, it felt like everything just fell into place.

The reason we broke up

is because I can hear lies.

So,

you believe in him?

Yes.

You don't have to worry about me.

Ah…

You can turn it off now.

You should see the comments.

The reactions are pretty good.

The public is so fickle.

As a one-time thing, it was fine,

but if it becomes frequent, her brand value will drop and…

I know, I know.

She can't do this again.

I'll talk to her.

Okay.

Hey, Ji-on. I enjoyed your live performance.

I totally understand why you did it.

It's because of Do-ha, isn't it?

What's wrong with your voice though?

What?

It's a miracle you're even alive.

How can you laugh about this?

Next time, you could die.

Why didn't you call me?

I'm sorry.

I thought you'd try to send me away again.

Are you

going to stay here?

Yes.

I like it here.

Your mom told me

that someone called her office

and left her a memo in your name.

It must've been Eom-ho, right?

Deuk-chan.

Yeah?

I think it would be best to stop working together.

Where is this coming from?

If people find out who I am because of Eom-ho,

you're the one who stands to lose the most.

What?

How did this conversation end up about me? You'll be in trouble too.

The one who has the most to lose is you.

But that's my burden to bear.

I can't let any more people I care about suffer because of me.

Then what about Sol-hee?

Don't you think being here will put her in danger?

I'm going to stay

by her side and protect her.

How, exactly? Look what happened to your face!

You're right.

That's just an excuse.

The thing is, I need her.

I want to be with her.

You're still here?

Yes, I'm almost done closing up.

What's with the porridge?

Oh, it's for someone.

Right.

Oh, by the way,

your mother came by yesterday.

Really? Why?

To ask if you had a boyfriend.

I lied and said I didn't know.

Good.

Wait, you lied?

Why is that a lie?

You're flirting with your next door neighbor, aren't you?

It was pretty obvious. This too.

We're not just flirting.

Then…

You're dating? Since when?

Well…

Come to think of it,

he didn't actually ask me to be his girlfriend though.

Then why do you think…

Oh…

You made out first?

No!

Oh, hello.

Hello.

If you brought over the confidentiality agreement…

It's okay. I don't need it anymore.

Sol-hee.

Do you really believe Do-ha?

Yes.

What about you?

I believe him too.

Oh, I also heard.

That you two are going steady.

Congratulations.

- Oh… - Sol-hee.

What's going on?

We just talked. I should go.

Can I come in for a sec?

What's all this?

This is for you. I thought it'd be easier on the stomach.

It's good for bringing swelling down too.

I'm not that hurt but thanks.

Oh, I just asked Mr. Cho if he believes in you.

He said he did.

And he meant it.

Also, he said he heard

we were going steady.

Yes.

This looks good.

But does kissing automatically mean we're going steady?

What?

Will you be my girlfriend?

Forget it.

- Come on. - Forget it.

It's something I really love.

- I'll give it to you. - No, thanks.

- Give me your hand. - What is it?

This?

- No. - No?

No.

- Will you be my girlfriend now? - Okay, okay.

Yes, I'll be your girlfriend.

- So, we're really going steady, right? - Yes, we are.

Hello.

Bro!

What are you doing here?

I've been taking vocal lessons in this neighborhood lately.

I was just in the area.

Don't you get lessons at your agency?

I wanted to do more so I'm taking extra lessons.

You're already a great singer. What for?

Your shift is almost over, right? I'll give you a ride home.

Actually, I still have a few hours left.

I didn't have anything better to do so I took on the night shift as well.

I'll be right back.

Welcome.

Can I get some aspirin?

Mr. Cho?

He must have a major headache.

That's our CEO.

Really?

What's he doing in this neighborhood?

Even the songwriter Kim Do-ha lives around here.

What?

He's just an unemployed guy but his name is Kim Do-ha.

Geez.

Then ask him to write a song for me.

If we just had a track by Kim Do-ha,

Atlantis could make it big too…

Due to the unpleasant incident a while ago,

I have been appointed the new head.

My name is So Bo-ro of Yeonseo Bakery. It's nice to meet everyone.

That incident

was the biggest crisis of my life.

I almost gave up but I'm grateful…

That real estate agent…

I heard flour still comes out from his ears.

Isn't it fascinating? How did the tarot shop owner know?

She said the cards told her.

But what's with the mood today? It's so depressing.

The realtor's wife owns several buildings in this town.

People who rent from her are on her side.

Even after the cockroach incident?

She only did that to Bo-ro. Apparently, she was nice to everyone else.

I'll do my very best.

I may be inexperienced…

Some won't join the festival.

- No way… - I'll learn as much as I can.

Thank you.

Then the first item for discussion is regarding the festival…

I won't be participating.

- Okay. - I won't be participating either.

Me neither.

- Me neither. - Me neither.

If you can just tell me one at a time…

- Me neither. - Me neither.

- Me neither. - Okay.

- Me neither. - Me neither.

What the…

Is this punk still asleep at this hour?

Damn it.

Hello.

You agreed to pay in cash, right?

What are you talking about? We sent the money to your account.

No, I was told I'd be paid in cash if I made the delivery today.

I'm here because of all that desperate begging.

When did I beg? Check your account.

Not you, the other guy. The cook.

That's what he said?

Excuse me? Hello?

Okay, okay.

I'll give you the money,

but you better pay me back double once you check.

Got that?

What the hell?

Dammit.

Hurry up. I'm busy.

I don't have it.

What?

- Look here. - I don't have any money.

What a whack job.

Please leave a message…

Damn it, my crypto!

My crypto!

Someone called her office and left her a memo in your name.

It must've been Eom-ho, right?

MOTHER

Can you come to the cafe for a sec?

He's here.

- Hello. - Hi.

Hey, what happened…

Oh, it's nothing.

Sit down for a sec.

Over here.

Take a look.

This guy was the ace in our class. His specialty is jiu-jitsu.

He looks really nice, right?

- Next one, next one. - This guy

usually works security for artists at concerts.

Oh, yeah. You might've seen him a few times at Syaon concerts.

I'm not sure if he has the time these days though.

Anyway, next. This guy is a few years younger…

Wait, wait.

What is all this?

I heard someone bad is after you.

It's a list of potential bodyguards for you.

- I don't need a bodyguard. - Why not?

They make me uncomfortable.

That's not the problem right now!

If you're uncomfortable, how about me?

I really am okay.

Are we done here?

Oh, but…

It's okay. I understand.

Yes, I'm sorry. It's okay.

Okay, bye.

Hello.

Hello.

Will you be participating in the festival this year?

No. As always, we won't be.

Okay.

Why don't you give it a try though?

Why?

A lot of people have backed out

since I became the head of the co-op.

We need a majority to hold the festival

and right now, it's 50-50.

I have too much to do lately.

I'm sorry.

No, no, it's fine.

Bye then.

- Thanks. - Bye.

I could help with the festival.

Didn't you see Do-ha's face?

This is no time to be participating in a festival.

I know he was injured, but he looked down too.

Getting ready for the festival together could cheer him up.

Together?

No, he'll be anxious enough being home on his own.

Being home alone will make him even more depressed.

And I'll keep a close eye on him during the festival.

You must be worn out.

Are we there yet?

We still have a long way to go, Mi-na.

- Oh… - Let's keep going.

What a beautiful day.

Sir.

- Come inside. - Oh my.

Oh my goodness.

You're wearing a mask again?

I don't want to startle anyone.

These are from my dad.

Does he just send you pictures?

Yes, these are his letters.

He took the pictures himself.

It means he's doing fine.

Where were you going?

To the convenience store.

I'll go with you.

- Hello. - Hello.

Can I have that back?

Not a lot of people write music by hand these days.

Do you go to music school?

This too, please.

That'll be $25.80.

You're good to go.

Thank you.

Bye.

I don't go to music school.

I'm going to sing it at the festival.

Let's have some beer since it's hard to sleep anyway.

There must be a talent show during the festival.

Yes.

I don't know if it'll be held this year though.

Why not?

Not a lot of businesses are participating.

There has to be a majority but right now, it's 50-50.

Oh, really?

What about you?

I haven't decided yet.

You should do it.

Why?

I want to hear his song.

It seemed pretty interesting.

I've never prepared for a festival before.

It'd be nice to have some help.

You have your employees.

They're not enough.

Will you help me?

Me?

Festivals aren't really my thing

but it could be fun.

If we do it together.

You think my face will heal by then?

Of course, totally. Let's do it. It's settled.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Let's wrap up our policy debate and move on to any topics you wish.

Mr. Yoo Jae-hun, you may speak first.

Yes,

I would like to ask Ms. Jeong a question.

The issue about your son is frankly quite concerning.

If the suspicions are true,

some wonder whether a mother who failed

to raise her son right can lead us.

How would you answer them?

Mr. Yoo,

do you know what happened with my son's case?

Yes, he was cleared of all charges.

So, you do know.

The prosecution cleared him

so why is this still an issue?

It's because the actual perpetrator was never found.

But in my son's case, the victim committed suicide

so there is no perpetrator.

But it's also possible that it wasn't a suicide.

And so people will always suspect him of being a murderer.

But I won't blame those people.

However, I will not accept the criticism that I failed to raise my son right

and is therefore unfit to be the governor.

Should we just read tarot cards for people?

No.

We have to do something that fits the "newtro" concept.

How about selling sikhye or dalgona coffee?

Good idea.

And keep the readings short to five minutes.

We don't want long lines just at our booth so let's set a time limit.

Okay.

How about telling daily horoscopes

for people who buy beverages?

How?

Maybe we could print them on the cup holder?

The customers can pick one themselves.

- Good idea. - Yeah, sounds good.

Oh!

How about hiding a free tarot coupon

underneath the cup?

So that you'd have to drink all the coffee to see it.

Oh! But

can't you see it if you do this?

You're right.

Don't laugh.

Stop laughing.

Cho, a good friend of Kim's

claimed that they watched soccer

at his parents' pub.

CCTV footage was submitted as evidence

but the face was hard to make out.

- Kang-min. - Yeah?

Any plans on your day off this weekend?

Why do you ask?

There's a festival at Yeonseo-dong that day.

It'll be a lot of fun and loads to see.

You should drop in to see the tarot cafe owner.

I'm busy that day.

Hello?

How have you been?

It's been a while since I've called.

I've been meaning to go visit.

- I'm taking all this too. - Will it be enough?

- Should we bring more? - I think so.

Hey, put it in the boxes. Don't leave them on the table.

Oh, hi.

I brought my car. We can load all this up.

You're going dressed like that?

Why? What's wrong with it?

Load everything up. We need to get new clothes too.

Hurry up, hurry up. We can buy something there.

Okay, got it. I'll take this one…

I'll open the car door then.

YEONSEO PLAY NEWTRO FESTIVAL

- Hello. - Hello.

Can we buy this now?

Oh, it's the nicest one so I was gonna put it on display.

You have plenty of other nice clothes.

Can we try it on?

- Go and try these on. - What?

Come on, hurry. Just try them on.

In there.

Go get changed.

Wow, you can pull off anything with your looks.

Right?

How much?

Since you're my first customer, just $50.

Boss, we should get changed too.

Oh, okay.

Do-ha, come on.

Coming.

Okay.

Finally, the quality is good enough for my customers.

Flog him!

The concept is retro, not the Joseon Dynasty.

You're just an old-timer.

These snacks have been made since the Goryeo Dynasty.

I was just trying to be historically correct.

- Hey, try some. - What is it?

You seriously got makeup done as a slave?

I didn't put on any makeup.

Oh, I thought you did. Sorry.

This is good. What is it?

Should I add it to my pastries?

What do you think?

You stand out a lot

but it's better than this morning.

I think you look cool.

Oh, a line is already forming over there. Get ready, get ready.

ROONEY TAROT CAFE

We're not getting a single customer.

Hello.

This is good.

I made it fresh today. All fresh out of the oven.

Fried chicken and beer?

Let's go.

Come on in. We're super popular. Chicken, chicken, chicken.

I'd like to order.

Hey, Sang-cheol.

I dressed up like this for the newtro concept. You too?

Oh, yes. What a coincidence. So fascinating. Who dresses like this?

- Would you like the basic set menu? - Yes.

VIPs can sit over here.

- Thanks. - Over here.

Come on in. We have amazing fried chicken.

- Who is that punk? - Who are you calling a punk?

He's the guy I met on a blind date.

I thought you weren't in touch. Didn't he ignore your texts?

- That means it's over. - No, it's just starting.

Sang-cheol, enjoy.

Looks amazing.

- I gave you a lot. - Thanks.

- Oh, there's no need. - I'd like to.

- No, really. Just enjoy your food. - But you worked so hard…

- It's okay, just eat… - No cash?

You should always have some cash.

Thanks for the food.

- Carry cash with you. - Right.

How come we're the only ones who don't have customers?

It might be because it's our first time here.

I prepared a lot thinking we'd sell it quickly.

You know what?

Do-ha, pretend to be a customer.

What?

Good idea.

Having no one around might make it harder for people to come in.

Okay.

Hurry, hurry, hurry.

Can I have one sikhye?

One sikhye?

Coming right up.

Here you go.

Make it look good.

Wow, it's so good.

We have good sikhye.

Our sikhye is really good.

- Can I get one too? - Sikhye?

- Yes, me too. - Got it.

Me too, me too.

Can I get a reading?

Yes, this way, please.

Hey, look who's here! Kang-min!

Hello.

It's been a while.

What are you doing all the way here?

I wanted to see everyone.

- Good, good. - Good, good.

Where's Chief Gwak?

He had to rush over to the hospital because of his daughter.

What is all this? You didn't have to bring anything.

You're always drinking instant coffee.

- You should watch your sugar levels. - Wow, thanks.

Here, you have one too.

Thank you.

Looks good. Thanks.

Sir, Chief Gwak was in charge

of the missing person's case here, right?

Yes, it was him. Why?

Nothing. Just curious.

People still talk about it.

In my opinion, it was suicide,

but got blown out of proportion because it was on TV.

Yeah, I agree.

Kang-min!

Chief.

There is some concern.

In my son's case, the victim committed suicide

so there is no perpetrator.

But it's also possible that it wasn't a suicide.

Yeonseo-dong? Why there?

His girlfriend lives there.

What does she do?

She runs a cafe. A tarot cafe.

You don't have to worry too much.

Eom-ho doesn't know about that place,

and also,

Do-ha looks at ease there.

Where exactly is it?

That cafe.

I shouldn't have mentioned it when you need to focus on the election.

I will not accept the criticism

that I failed to raise my son right

and is therefore unfit to be the governor.

Mr. Yoo,

why do keep bringing up this unfortunate incident…

Festival?

I think you should wait a little more.

It's always…

What do you think?

Ah.

We don't have any more customers so go take a look around.

Leave this place to us.

Should we?

We'll bring back something to eat then.

Let's go.

Did you see that?

They're holding hands.

Yes, they're dating.

They're what?

Cute.

- Looks nice on you. - Right?

How do I look?

Very pretty.

- Rooney. - Rooney. How cute.

This is cute too.

Should we get one each?

Cute, right?

Yes, they're cute.

We'll take two.

Thank you. This has been Reggo.

It's my turn to go up. Where are you?

He must be singing now.

Come on, you said you'd help.

Okay. I guess it can't be helped.

Next contestant, please come on up.

Are you alone?

Doesn't the song have to be accompanied by keyboard?

My friend who was supposed to help can't make it.

You should help him.

I know you want to.

- Excuse me. - Yes?

- May I borrow this? - Oh, sure.

Ask the crowd to wait a little

and tell them about the song.

Just say anything to stall.

Let me take that to play.

Uh…

Please wait a little bit as the instruments are set up.

Okay.

The song I'll be singing today is called "24 Hours."

It's about the things I've felt

working at a convenience store.

I hope you like it.

- He's so cool. - He's good.

Those two look amazing.

Another lonely day greets me

With the same face as yesterday

Asking me about my weary day

Should I reach out my hand again

My footsteps grow slower

Wow.

Just one on a starry day

Time is lazy

And flows slower than my urgent demands

What are you staring at?

That guy looks familiar.

Who?

The good-looking one?

Yes.

Go ask for his number.

That's not what I mean.

Where did I see him from?

- Give it here. I'll grill it for you. - No, you should eat.

I'll do the grilling.

It's been ages.

You don't have time to drink now, do you?

I have to look after my daughter on my days off.

Must be tough.

Uh, Sir.

I need to ask you something.

What is it?

The Hakcheon Beach missing person's case.

Was it really a suicide?

The CCTV footage was too grainy to say

it was Kim Seung-ju for sure…

Even if that alibi is fake,

there's no proof that he did it.

Why are you curious about that when you're in Seoul now?

No reason. That guy seemed suspicious.

It was suicide.

She was from an unstable family.

Her mom died in a car accident when she was young,

and her dad always drank and gambled.

Apparently, she even harmed herself several times.

So when the guy wanted to break up,

she just killed herself.

Now for the moment you've all been waiting for.

It's time to announce the winner.

The winner of the street music festival!

Lee Young-jae who sang "24 Hours"!

Congratulations.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

You've won the contest. Can you say a few words?

Yes, of course.

Thank you for this amazing prize.

I'll keep on working really hard.

Thank you.

Let's take a photo to mark the moment.

Pretty awesome.

Right? He wrote a really great song.

I meant you.

What do I know about music?

We should go clean up now.

We have to make a stop before that.

I was worried you might not be coming.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

This is for you.

What is it?

I secretly bought it earlier.

I don't know if it's real though.

Wow.

I was wondering who bought my ball.

It's good to see you.

Is this really Rooney's autograph?

Yes, of course.

I got it from Rooney himself in 2010 at Old Trafford.

You've made a good buy.

Well? Is it real?

Yes, it's real.

I'm so relieved.

Hey, the fireworks started.

Let's go.

RONALDO

Wow, so pretty.

What the heck?

Did I hit a rock or what?

She was found in the woods, not at sea?

Eom-ji.

You and Choi Eom-ji had matching rings.

- Where is yours? - I threw it in the ocean.

The side effects are loss of cognitive function and memory loss.

J Entertainment will no longer be working with Kim Do-ha.

Eom-ji.

Today…

you're going to die.
