JOO JUNG-WON TAE GONG-SIL

CONFIRMATION

Get up. The car will be here.

I slept so well since I was with you.

You drooled here. You have to buy this.

I can wipe it off.

I slept so well.

I would really like to sleep some more.

You said you have plans. Sleep more if you like.

Oh, no. That's right.

Woo.

Miss.

Here it is.

Mr. Joo.

This is a copy of the document. He said we should each take one.

And he gave us this too.

He said we should take one each.

They're giving them out as gifts to customers.

-Let's take one each. -Why should I take one?

I don't want anything as a pair with you.

It's really cool.

Put it away.

Okay.

Why are you standing here?

Aren't you going to give me a ride?

I'm too tired today.

I almost got shot because of you.

I am sorry.

It's dangerous to get too involved in the world you see.

I shouldn't go any further.

I should draw a line between the two of us.

Do you mean I should get lost?

Let's just stick to what we need from each other.

From now on, here to here is the "Tae Gong-sil Zone."

If you need the shelter, don't talk to me. Just touch me.

And only talk to me when you see Cha Hui-ju.

I really liked talking to you about things.

I don't like it. Keep your distance.

I'll let you use the "Tae Gong-sil Zone" any time.

But don't try anything else.

My arm has no eyes, ears, or a mouth.

So, do not expect me to look, listen, or talk to you.

I talked to you because you are not scared of ghosts.

Yes, I'm not scared of ghosts.

Tae Gong-sil.

You're the one I'm scared of.

Isn't Ms. Tae coming with us?

She has plans. Let's go.

Okay.

He almost got shot because of me. No wonder he thinks I'm dangerous.

Tae Gong-sil.

I-ryeong. Hi.

-Did you come to watch the musical? -Yes.

You, too?

I just saw something interesting.

I see.

Bye.

You know, I thought you would pretend you didn't see me.

I am so glad that you said hello.

Bye, Little Sun.

Sure. Good luck, Big Sun.

It looks like Big Sun has no idea what's going on.

I'm watching people who get close to Mr. Joo for my client.

Tae Gong-sil is one of them.

So, you got close to her to investigate her?

I'm doing it to keep Mr. Joo safe.

Don't interfere with this.

I won't.

You're watching the musical with Gong-sil, right?

Good luck with your work.

She thinks this is a date.

I'm so sorry, Big Sun.

Woo!

Are you mad I'm late?

It just started. Shall we go inside?

Let's not watch this.

-Why? -I heard it's no good.

I heard it's good.

I heard it's not.

I don't want to see people act out things that aren't real.

Let's do something else.

To be honest, I don't like being in the dark.

What shall we do?

Let's do what you want. I won't ask anything and come with you.

You signed it. Did you check the contents?

Yes. Tae Gong-sil read it for me.

Did you tell her about your reading problem?

Yes.

I won't get dragged around by Tae Gong-sil anymore.

I almost got shot and gave her a warning.

You must have been startled. Do you think that pill will be enough?

It's enough.

Tae Gong-sil has a copy too,

so call her right away if anything is wrong.

I'll call her tomorrow.

You said she's on a date. I can't call her right now.

The musical is the one we're going to have at our autumn festival.

I heard it's really good.

She won't be able to watch it.

She'll probably run out because something appeared,

or if not, she'll probably run after something she feels bad for.

No.

If something happened, she would have called you.

She hasn't called, so the date must be going well.

I can't believe it.

You're taking pills because of the shock, but she's on a date.

I guess she can't cancel a date just because of you.

Get some rest.

Are you sick?

I must be getting old. I caught a cold in summer.

I'll call my doctor. Go see him right away.

You cannot get sick, Mr. Kim.

I know I can't get sick until I can find my replacement.

That's bitter.

I took a pill. I have to sleep.

I can't sleep even after taking that bitter pill.

But she seems to be having a sweet time.

I came here because you didn't have anywhere in mind.

Is it okay?

This is the Han River.

I haven't been here since I almost got dragged into the water.

I'm so scared.

Where? Did you almost fall into the water?

Yes.

Let's not get close to the water.

Shall we go to the fountain show over there?

Sure.

My gosh!

Aren't you going?

Let's go that way, Woo.

The bridge is over there.

That's the bicycle rental place. Do you want to ride a bike?

Yes. Let's go this way.

-Isn't it cool? -Yes.

Can we go faster, Woo?

Let's go faster.

It was fun to ride a bike. I haven't ridden in a while.

-Shall we do it again? -I said no! Stop it!

We won't if you don't want to.

That's not what I meant. I don't like the heat.

I'm so hot.

-Would you like a drink? -Yes.

There's a store over there. Could you get something for me?

Wait here.

Will running once do it?

DANGER, SAFETY FIRST

Excuse me. Over here.

Excuse me. Hello.

I'm sorry, but please help me out.

Please hold this.

You should stand over there. And you should stand here.

Over here. Okay.

Please help me out.

What's all this?

Yes, that's good. Okay, ready.

Is there someone there?

Start!

You did it!

Excuse me.

You should go now.

Bye!

Gosh. I am so sorry.

-I'm sorry. -Are you okay?

Thank you. I am so sorry.

She must be the crazy woman they all talk about.

You should be careful, too. It could happen to you.

Woo.

-Why didn't you wait there? -I felt bad.

Shall we drink this at the fountain?

Let's go.

I really hate water ghosts.

Please don't come out.

The water ghosts were really scary.

I hope they didn't follow me.

Yes, I'm not scared of ghosts.

Tae Gong-sil.

You're the one I'm scared of.

It must be scary to be pestered by ghosts because of me.

MR. JOO

Hello? Mr. Joo.

I was scared a ghost followed me, so I was thinking of calling you--

Whatever.

I called for a reason.

We're going to ask to hold the musical you watched at our autumn event.

Report to me what it was like.

I didn't watch it.

You didn't?

Yes, we just went to Han River for a walk.

Really?

But a running ghost kept following me.

It was so hard pretending to be normal.

I knew it.

And then we went to watch the fountain show.

Ghosts kept coming in and out of the fountain.

I was so scared, seeing that.

So I was going to call you in case a ghost followed me.

But you called me right on time.

Thank you.

I didn't call you so you can be grateful.

And I told you not to talk to me about those things.

If you didn't watch the musical, never mind.

Get lost. I mean, I'm hanging up.

Tae Gong-sil will need some bitter pills, too.

I'm sleepy.

Just talking to my shelter makes me feel so much better.

There's a Tae Gong-sil Zone. I can't touch other places.

It's too small, right?

Rock, paper, scissors.

Rock, paper, scissors.

Mom, are you going to be late again?

-Rock, paper, scissors. -Seung-jun is sick.

-Rock, paper, scissors. -Okay.

Seung-jun, tell me what's wrong with you.

Aren't you going to eat?

I'll go get your favorite bread.

Rock, paper, scissors.

Rock, paper, scissors.

-Rock, paper, scissors. -Rock, paper, scissors.

-Rock, paper, scissors. -Rock, paper, scissors.

-Rock, paper, scissors. -Rock, paper, scissors.

-Rock, paper, scissors. -Rock, paper, scissors.

-Rock, paper, scissors. -Rock, paper, scissors.

Gong-sil!

Seung-mo?

Something is wrong with Seung-jun?

Seung-jun.

Are you sick?

-I'll go get my mom. -Okay.

Why are you so cold?

Do you have an upset stomach? I'll go get some medicine, okay?

Your mom isn't coming even if you're sick, right?

You're really going to become friends with us.

I'm sure there was some digestive medicine here.

Seung-jun.

Seung-jun.

My dear Seung-jun.

It's must be Seung-jun's mom.

My baby.

Are you sick, my baby?

Oh, my baby. I am so sorry.

I'm sorry I didn't come earlier.

Let's go to the hospital.

Okay.

It's okay now.

It's okay.

He's no good.

His mom hugged him.

We can't be friends with him.

It must be you guys.

You're the ones who pestered Seung-jun, right?

-Hide! -Hide!

Where did they go? I'm sure they came here.

Where are you?

Are you going to keep pestering Seung-jun in here?

Come on out.

Are you hiding in there?

Oh, gosh.

Mr. Joo, I found this.

What is this?

There are strange kids inside this thing.

But...

I'm not scared of this.

Then you should go.

But Mr. Joo, this...

There's no talking allowed in the Tae Gong-sil Zone.

Take it and get lost.

Tae Gong-sil.

What are you doing?

Why are you leaving it here?

It seems dangerous, so I thought I'd keep it here.

Why would you keep something dangerous here?

Do you want me to be in danger?

You're not scared of such things.

There are three child ghosts hiding in there.

Tae Gong-sil, I almost got shot yesterday.

At such times,

you could have brought vitamins and asked if I slept well last night.

Or at least ask if I took anything to calm myself.

You shouldn't bring me three ghosts.

Can I do that?

Is it okay for me to worry about you?

I thought you wouldn't like it, so I wasn't able to say anything.

Can I do that?

Well, try it.

I have ears, so I will listen.

Mr. Joo.

Did you sleep well?

You must have been so shocked yesterday.

I always have this with me because they help when I see scary ghosts.

You should have one.

Are they FDA approved?

It's sold at drug stores.

I will share them with you in the future.

Are you saying you want to keep being shocked together?

I always got startled by myself,

but now that I have you, I won't need to take this as much.

You're the safest person in Kingdom, so please keep the dangerous doll.

It's dangerous?

The security team should keep scary and dangerous things.

Shouldn't you take it to Sweet Kang?

I can't do that to Woo.

He really hates such things. What if he gets shocked?

If he gets shocked, you should give him this.

Take that and get lost.

He designated a Tae Gong-sil Zone?

Yes. But it's too small.

It will get bigger.

-This is what you asked for. -Right.

So, this is what Mr. Joo is looking for.

It looks like it'd be ten billion won.

It's Cha Hui-ju.

She was even prettier when she was alive.

She's pretty.

Gosh. She left it here.

Why do I feel bitter when Tae Gong-sil is happy?

It's bitter.

It's so bitter.

I have someone else I should be looking for.

So, stop being a nuisance and come out.

You're bad kids who torment good kids, right?

Tell me why you're being so bad.

Aren't you going to talk?

Get out of there!

Come out! Come on!

Gong-sil.

What are you doing with the doll?

Were you just...

talking to the doll?

I know everything. I've seen you several times.

You saw it?

Sometimes, you talk to the trash bin.

And you talk to paintings on the wall.

Did you see all that?

I had a friend who was like you.

He used to name his pencil and talk to it.

Do you know where he is now?

A mental hospital?

He's at NASA.

He said he would make a spaceship to go to Andromeda.

And now he's really making one.

You must have a good imagination, too.

Yes. Imagination.

Have some coffee.

Coffee, you are so black.

Hi.

Have a good talk and add some milk if you don't like it black.

Thank you.

Andromeda...

A man from the hospital said he met an alien from there.

Don't tell Woo about how you went to the hospital or the police station.

I can't tell him about ghosts because it would torment him.

Shouldn't I tell him about other things?

I was so grateful that someone likes me.

But it's so hard to keep things from him.

You said you're feeling better. Do those things still appear?

They don't just stop appearing...

What?

Why did you do that, Han-ju?

Why does Gong-sil always act like that?

I told you not to scare Gong-sil like a ghost, didn't I?

Am I a ghost?

-Is my nose bleeding? -No.

I think my nose is bleeding.

My nose is bleeding because she hit me.

This is an assault. I can't believe this.

It's not bleeding.

But...

-Your nose is running. Blow it. -I don't think that's it.

I can't let her get taken to the police again for assault.

My gosh. I was really surprised.

Why aren't you going to her?

Do you also think it's natural

for me to go ask if she is okay?

You always went to her when she's like that.

I always went. And I went too much.

I won't go anymore.

The summer event...

I'm sorry.

The reaction was very positive...

You should go see the doctor again.

No, there are documents and articles I must show...

Are you okay, Mr. Kim?

Mr. Joo, could you have someone replace me for just one day?

Who?

I have experience as a secretary.

But next to my boss was a man with an ax stuck in his head.

That's why I quit the job.

An ax?

Did you work for a thug?

No, it was small but it was a finance company.

What's the name of the company?

-Sera Finance. -"Sera Finance"?

The president of that company was arrested for murder last year.

Really?

You see ghosts, but you don't watch the news or read newspapers?

Everything in the news should be true.

But I noticed that not everything in the news is true.

An artist was in the news for getting a world-famous award this year.

But he had actually stolen his dead friend's work.

-Let me tell you who he is. -Don't tell me.

Keep it to yourself.

I just want to think Korea has an artist who is acknowledged.

I don't care if it's true. Read the newspaper you're holding.

Sure. I don't know if everything will be true, though.

"Kingdom's event for children is getting a lot of good feedback."

That's true.

Good. Keep going.

Tae Gong-sil is acting in Mr. Kim's place right now.

Really?

She is going to become Mr. Joo's weakness.

If his aunt is against it, wouldn't his father be, too?

Mr. Joo probably hates his father the most.

I don't know if it's true,

but there was a rumor the girl died because of Mr. Joo's father.

They said my brother didn't pay the ransom,

and that's why Hui-ju died.

It is all a lie.

Of course.

Why would a father not pay the ransom when his son might die?

I hope Jung-won thinks so, too.

I think my brother is traveling all around the world

to find the jewel that was lost and to make things right with his son.

But I can't be sure if it's true.

I think he might have seen the kidnapper.

But he says he didn't.

I can't tell if he's telling the truth or not.

Mr. Kim is sick and took the day off.

Tae Gong-sil has taken his place.

I'm sure they're in a relationship.

Don't talk about things you are not sure about.

Mr. Kang.

Stop being so hung up on her. She's more mysterious than a mystery circle.

I feel so bad for you.

Right, listen carefully to the meeting and make notes on it.

Shall I read you the meeting notes again?

No.

I have it all in here.

I have to concentrate hard

to keep it in here so I don't have to read anything.

I've been following you all day. You are actually quite busy.

You aren't really aware that I am the president of this place.

You're always looking through your telescope in your room,

so I thought you weren't busy.

What do you look at all the time when you're so busy?

You only ever talk about your world.

Are you finally curious about my world now?

You should take a look.

Please begin.

This is the business plan for the Shanghai Kingdom.

Let me start with Korean malls that have entered the China market.

A total of seven companies are operating in the Shanghai area.

They are mostly centered in commercial areas.

As you can see,

two companies have been successful and are considering expansion.

The other companies are in the early stages, just like us.

And they are currently...

-Please carry on. -Yes, sir.

The other companies are researching the market.

The market share in the Shanghai area

is currently being shared evenly among the Korean companies.

Thank you for what you did earlier.

We said we'd give each other what we need.

My head hurts from memorizing so much.

I will organize the notes from today

and give them to Mr. Kim when he gets back.

Can I take a look through that?

What were you looking at?

My competitor is over there.

And you can see the cars coming into Kingdom.

And also the cars going out.

You can see everything.

Kingdom is the world I belong to and reign over.

I'm busy enough trying to make this place more perfect.

Why? Did you see something?

No.

I was reminded of the ghost I saw in the meeting.

I almost screamed.

Thanks to you, I was able to get through the meeting.

Tae Gong-sil.

You were probably able to get through it.

The shelter was there for the radar.

There's something you ignore, just like how you ignore that I'm the president.

I don't ignore that.

Yes, you do.

You totally ignore the fact that your shelter is a man.

That's...

If you acknowledged I was a man,

you couldn't ask me to sleep with you holding your hand.

You probably think of me as concrete.

In any case, the meeting did not end quietly at all.

Since you turned up, my world has become noisy.

I hung on to you so I could live.

I didn't realize your world had been disrupted.

I decided to endure that when I decided to install you.

I'll take care of it.

It's time for the Kid's Mall event.

Let's go.

Okay.

Think of him as concrete.

Mr. Joo.

I'd feel sorry to say that you're just concrete to me.

You're the best kind of marble there is.

Are you saying that as a compliment?

I mean that I think highly of you.

Marble.

This isn't just any marble.

It's the most expensive marble in the world.

You could never have it if you were just some normal woman.

I let you have it because of your special radar.

Just this much.

He keeps emphasizing that. Just that much.

You must be working. Surveillance duty.

I'm not on surveillance duty. I'm being jealous.

I'm watching the woman I like walking with another man.

That's jealousy.

-You lied that you like her. -I never said it's still a lie.

Why do you keep appearing before me?

Are you watching me? Or...

Or what?

Do you think I like you?

What's wrong with you? I'm a top star.

You're just a salaryman.

Shouldn't it be hard to see a top celebrity?

I see you so often that you feel like a neighbor.

Which neighborhood is that?

If I'm just a neighbor,

are all the people who live there celebrities?

Top star Tae I-ryeong.

You look better on TV, so don't come out of there.

Are you saying I'm not pretty in person?

Maybe?

He's confusing me.

Is he saying I'm pretty or not?

Is he watching Tae Gong-sil or being jealous?

My contact lenses move around if I think too much.

You must like kids.

Do you know how much money each kid brings in?

The mom, dad, grandmother, grandfather,

two more from the other side, that makes at least six.

And if they have single aunts and uncles too,

they can bring in so much money.

There's a kid in my building who only has a mom to buy him things,

so he plays with dolls that were thrown away.

If you feel bad, open your wallet and buy something.

I'm going to buy stuff somewhere else.

Darn...

Did you just swear at me?

What will I do with that doll?

Mom.

I can't find my bag.

I think I lost it.

Go find it.

SPECIAL CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER

Who are you?

Hi. Let's be friends.

Take us with you.

You're just like us.

That's the doll I brought.

Doll?

The doll that the boy in the yellow shirt is holding.

Isn't it the doll that I brought here?

That's dangerous.

What should I do? The kids will torment him.

Walk faster.

You'll have to be scolded for losing your bag.

His mother is a member, so I found the address.

Is that doll so important?

Yes, I have to find it.

I'll be off soon. Let's go together when I'm done.

I'm in a hurry. I have to get it right away.

Aren't you working with Mr. Joo in Mr. Kim's place today?

Can you just go off to find the doll?

Mr. Joo understands what I do. I should go now.

He understands her leaving to get a doll during working hours?

Really?

The boy in our building got sick because of that doll.

Are you sure it was because of the doll?

I'm sure.

And the kid who took it will get sick, too.

This is Kingdom. Did your son take a doll from here?

A doll? Why?

I'm not blaming you,

but I would like to go and get the doll back.

He didn't bring anything like that.

He lost his bag at Kingdom. Go and find that for me.

Yes--

Hold on.

Why did she lie that he didn't take it when he did?

Do you think the kid hid the doll?

Stop it.

If it's not going to affect Kingdom, stop here.

I got the address. Can't you come with me?

Tae Gong-sil.

I said I will only allow you this much.

Don't think of dragging me there.

Do you think my mom is angry?

What should I do?

Do you know what you did wrong?

I am so sorry, Mom.

Mom.

Did you find the doll?

-No. -You said he lost his bag, right?

This was found today. Could this be his?

It is his.

PYEON CHANG-MIN

So his name is Chang-min.

Let's go together after work. Can I get you a prettier doll?

See you later.

Thank you.

She will let me in if I say I found the bag, right?

SKETCHBOOK

There's a good artist I'm thinking of buying some pieces from.

Would you like to buy some, too?

Who is it?

Baek Hwang-sul. He received the Turner Award this year.

An artist was in the news for getting a world-famous award this year.

But he had actually stolen his dead friend's work.

Could that be him?

The price will rise further.

I should buy some now, right?

If I didn't know,

I wouldn't have hesitated to make an investment.

What? You're not going to?

Let me think about it.

SPECIAL CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER

I'm going to buy some pieces even if his name is Baek Hwang-sul.

I'm just here to check since I feel uneasy.

Tae Gong-sil!

Where did she go?

PYEON CHANG-MIN

What is this? Is this the kid's bag?

Come out, okay?

I know you're not bad kids. Come on out. Come on.

What about Chang-min?

Where is Chang-min?

Chang-min!

Let's go to a doctor.

Are you okay? Can you walk?

Who are you?

I have to take him to a doctor.

It's none of your business. Leave him and go.

Did you do this to him?

I was punishing him because he did something wrong.

Are you saying that this was his punishment?

-Are you really his mother? -Get out of my house!

-He has to see a doctor. -Stay out of this!

He has to see a doctor!

Come here.

Where are you going?

Mr. Joo.

We have to take him to a doctor.

I know.

The kids were all alone in the end.

It was this doll,

not the adults who stayed by them.

Mom.

I am sorry.

-No one helped them. -Mom.

And no one hugged them.

No one cried for them.

So, kids with similar stories came into this doll and became friends.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry no one hugged you.

I didn't know Dooly was pink.

That's Gong-sil, Dooly's girlfriend.

"Gong-sil"? Really?

They're dinosaurs, and Dooly's girlfriend is Gong-sil.

-Didn't you know? -No.

You're Gong-sil.

You two look good together.

Where did Gong-sil go?

Since Gong-sil isn't here,

you should stay here instead.

Dooly will stay in the security office.

We burned the doll. Will the kid be okay now?

I'm getting him checked from head to toe.

Did you bring in Pyeon Chang-min?

Yes.

You were reported for breaking and entering,

violence, and kidnapping.

You should come with us.

What?

Mr. Kim, I heard you're sick. Are you okay?

Yes.

Is Jung-won inside? I came to take him to dinner.

I don't think he will be able to do that.

Why?

Did something happen to him?

Well...

Mr. Joo.

Are you there, Mr. Joo?

Mr. Joo. You're okay, right?

Be quiet.

I'm thinking about where I am and where I will go because of you.

Don't worry too much, Mr. Joo.

I've been here a few times. There's really nothing to it.

The beef soup they order for you is delicious.

If you're hungry, shall I ask for some?

Ms. Tae.

I am not hungry.

Please be quiet.

What is it now?

A child counselor has reported you for child abuse.

A child counselor? Who?

That would be me.

And Kingdom's lawyer is asserting

that the violence that happened to save the child

was not intentional.

Kingdom's lawyer?

That would be me.

Your son will be treated while you are being investigated

and will be sent to a child protection agency.

Why can't I do what I want with my child?

And sometimes you can hit kids when you are raising them.

My gosh.

There was a mosquito.

-That hurts. -So you do feel pain.

-Come with me. -What did I do wrong?

Kingdom will cover all of the kid's hospital expenses.

Please look closely for evidence of abuse.

Mr. Joo is at a police station? Why?

I don't know.

Why would someone like Mr. Joo be there?

I thought it might be good for you to know.

Would you like to come with me?

Hey, wait for me!

I will stay and take care of things with the other lawyers.

Let's go.

What about me? Aren't you taking me with you?

I couldn't tell you because you seemed angry.

But there is a lady next to me.

I'm scared.

Mr. Joo!

SEOUL YEONGDEUNGPO POLICE STATION

I have to stay. You should go ahead.

I'm sorry, Mr. Joo.

I am really sorry.

Don't apologize. You did a good job, Tae Gong-sil.

Thank you for saying that.

You're hurt.

I think I got scratched while fighting that lady.

That child's mother will have to be punished.

She hurt her own child and someone else's child, too.

Ms. Tae. Let's go see a doctor.

Did he come here because of Tae Gong-sil?

Cha Hui-ju.

He trusts me now and gave me an important job.

I try not to go to hospitals.

I used to just endure it even if I'm really sick.

It's so nice to come here with you.

I had a nice time looking around a holding cell, thanks to you.

But why do I feel so hot?

Really?

Would you like to use this?

It's the fan we got as a pair.

That's right, you said you don't want anything as a pair.

Isn't it cool?

Mr. Joo, this isn't the Tae Gong-sil Zone.

My body's already ruined. Just use it.

I didn't stop because of a ghost.

I felt dizzy from hitting my head before.

You don't have to hold me.

You'll feel worse if you see a ghost so hold me to prevent that.

You did a good job today. It's a reward.

This is expensive.

I thought you would never let me touch you again.

But now that you're telling me to use you freely,

it feels strange.

When the crazy sun first appeared in my life,

I tried to kick it out.

But when I came to my senses, I was being dragged into your life.

I tried my best not to go any further.

But I realized something in that cell today.

I've already...

come too far.

You said you want to be by my side.

Congratulations. You've succeeded.

Mr. Kim should be here now.

Let's go.

Mr. Joo.

I...

Something strange is being detected on my radar.

So use me.

You don't feel anything even if I touch you, right?

Right?

Do you really think I'm a shelter made of marble?

Of course not.
