(Must You Go)

(This drama is purely fictional and is not associated...)

(with actual people, organizations, locations, or incidents.)

It is him again.

He pops up and disappears.

I have my own ghost following me.

I asked around because he comes like a figment of my imagination.

I was told it was just a deja vu.

This dream-like illusion comes to me from time to time.

And it is always the same guy.

I went to a clinic because I was wondering...

if other people experience the same thing.

Feeling as if you've already seen the views or experienced feelings...

in the past when you haven't is called a deja vu.

Have you been drinking a lot or gone through a breakup recently?

Alcohol is the best remedy for breakups.

What kind of food do you eat when you drink? I get spicy pork.

That sounds delicious.

Drinking a lot on an empty stomach can cause gastrointestinal problems.

You are experiencing delusions with behaviors of escapism.

You must face your reality and accept that you are poor.

Then, what should I do?

Sleep is the best remedy.

Have a good night's sleep.

Delusions with behaviors of escapism.

Hey, Min Yu Jeong. Should I deduct 10 dollars from your pay?

Hurry up.

Gosh. He's so petty.

I'm coming. Coming!

All right. I'd like to welcome everyone...

to the 80th birthday of Gi Soon Yi.

I will be your host today. My name is Yoon Seok Gi.

Let me introduce the couple of the hour today.

I have invited the most famous...

haegeum player in Korea.

Please give a round of applause to this haegeum player.

Yu Jeong, play some music for us.

- All right. Come on out. - Over there. Ma'am.

- Come on out. - My goodness.

- Over there. - All right. Great.

- Happy birthday. - Oh, my.

- She's accepting his bow. - She's still so healthy.

- Oh, my. - This way. Let's dance.

- One more time. - Try it again.

All right. When the eldest son makes a toast and raises the glass,

let's all wish her a happy birthday. Okay?

- Yes. - Yes.

Please live long, Mom. Cheers!

- Happy birthday! - Happy birthday!

- Please be healthy. - Stay healthy!

Well done.

- Thank you. - Bye.

(Hye Jin: When are you coming?)

(Sorry. I'm on my way now.)

- I'm sorry. - You're here.

I'll do it.

I can tell you walked here again.

The bus fare doesn't even cost much. Don't be so cheap.

Are you even eating your meals?

That's a nice exercise.

I have a lot of expenses, but I don't have money.

I still haven't paid rent this month.

What a difficult life that is.

What will you do with all that money?

I should pay back the debt.

The only thing my parents left me is their debt.

So I should pay it back. No one else can.

The manager should be here soon. Change into your uniform first.

This weekend, a special total lunar eclipse...

called the super blood blue moon is expected to take place.

A blue moon comes every 600 years.

And you'll be able to see this blue moon wherever you are in Korea.

It's a full moon with a mix of red and blue lights.

So a mystical, beautiful moon will unfold our eyes.

In the East, a full moon is considered a symbol of abundance.

Here's the weather about today. My name is Lee Ju Hee.

Hello.

I really hope I have enough money.

(Unpaid phone bill: 127.3 dollars)

Hey, you'll pay rent by the end of this week, right? Please pay me.

Oh, right!

The rent.

This stop is Haengcheon-dong.

And the next stop is Haengcheon-dong Intersection.

Where are you?

(Won)

The pain you are feeling without knowing why

Just think of it as a dream

If you truly

If you resent me

Blame my foolishness

I will not bid you farewell

The pain you are feeling without knowing why

Just think of it as a dream

Why didn't you text me back?

Sorry, I forgot.

Besides, it's not like I have to text you back.

Let it go since I was busy.

Don't forget. I'm Lee Won.

You can't just ignore my texts.

Stop performing on the streets and just join our agency.

Make sure to call me.

You can't become a singer just by singing on the streets.

You know that.

I'll take care of my matter, whether I become a singer or not.

- Just listen to me. - I said I'll take care of myself.

How?

Your hands are all chapped from performing on the streets.

That's you taking care of yourself?

Don't be so rude.

Then take care of yourself so I can stop being rude.

- Hey, isn't that Lee Won? - Lee Won!

- Lee Won! We love you! - Lee Won!

- Oh, gosh. It's him! - People are recognizing you.

You may get caught at this rate. You should go now.

- Oh, gosh. It's Lee Won! - We love you!

- You're so handsome. - Please look over here!

- Make sure to check your texts. - Lee Won!

- We love you. - You're so handsome!

- Oh, gosh. This is unbelievable. - We love you.

(JM Entertainment, Kim Yeong Seok)

That day from 600 years ago...

is approaching again.

The day my sky caved in.

The day you walked into the raging fire.

The day where I can put everything back into its place.

I wish...

I could...

see my beloved one...

for just once.

- You're here. - Gosh, you startled me.

You should've told me you were coming.

This is unexpected.

Sorry, there's nothing much to give you.

Did you eat? Shall I order something for you?

It's fine.

How can you live in a place like this?

Aren't you scared of living here alone?

I can manage.

What are you doing here, by the way?

- Did something happen? - No, it's not that.

It seemed like you were struggling.

What's this?

I'm giving you a part-time job.

Why are you giving me so much?

What's wrong? Is it too much?

No... So what's the job?

Here.

This is "A Ghost's Wail" by Park Seon Jae.

That's right. It's a song that wakes a soul.

You need to play that song with gayageum.

But this song creeps me out. It's really scary.

You don't want the job?

No, I'm not saying that.

I'm just saying it's creepy.

Does it have to be this song?

Can't I play something else?

Yes, you need to play just that song.

I can't tell you the reason,

but you need to play the song at the designated place and time.

Be there at the exact time.

Okay.

A gayageum will be placed there.

You can play with that.

Handle it well as it's important to me.

When's the date though?

It's today. That day is today.

- Today? - Yes, it's today.

You'll probably have to get ready now to make it in time.

I only need to play it once, right?

Don't ask for the money back later, okay?

There's nothing scarier than money.

Well, I'm in no position to be choosy.

Is it here?

"Temple Mita".

I'll just get it over with and go.

Why did she ask me to play it here?

She's such a weirdo.

600 years.

Will I finally get to meet the musician again?

(Temple Mita)

Do not call my... Do not...

(Temple Mita)

But why is my heart starting to ache so much?

(Temple Mita)

Who are you?

She somehow looks like her but not in the same way.

At the same time, her eyes seem a bit alike.

And where am I?

And why is that woman wearing such a strange outfit?

What's going on?

Could he be a ghost?

Did I really wake a ghost?

Is this a prank?

My gosh.

Excuse me. My lady.

What?

Why is he talking that way?

Did you get hurt?

No, I'm okay.

Gosh, seriously?

I'm not even done paying this off, but the screen's all cracked.

What are you going to do? You totally broke my cell phone.

"A screen"? What is that?

But most importantly, where is this place?

You sound like a Joseon person.

But the way you dress and this place somehow feel very unfamiliar.

Did you just call me "my lady"?

I am having a hard time remembering what happened.

How did I end up here?

Gosh, I'm so baffled.

I should be asking you that.

It is hard to tell if this is a dream or if it is real.

I think I may be lost.

But I must say, we must have met each other for a reason.

So let us tell each other our names.

I am Park Yeun, a musician from Joseon.

"Joseon"?

Are you Korean-Chinese?

I am Park Yeun. I am a musician.

What?

Why is Korean-Chinese wearing hanbok?

Am I dreaming?

By the way, do we know each other?

You seem very familiar.

He's unbelievable.

My lady.

How long are you going to continue following me?

You should go your way.

Stop following me.

It would be very rude of you...

to leave a person in need at a deserted place like this.

This place seems like a cave,

but how is it so bright in here?

Are you joking right now?

I'm a very busy person.

Please just leave, okay?

That is not how I was raised.

Were you taught that it is okay...

to ignore a person in need?

You think you're a person in need?

What about me? I broke my cell phone.

I'm cold.

Goodness, I am so hungry I do not have the energy to talk.

I am embarrassed to ask you this, but will you treat me to a meal?

I will make sure to repay you.

What did you just say?

- Lead the way. - What?

I will follow your way.

Whatever.

Goodness, how is this possible?

I wonder if he's just dumb.

Or maybe he's really ill.

Maybe he lost his memory.

Goodness.

Goodness, what is this?

My gosh.

My goodness, black rocks. Is this basalt?

I would've just left him there if I wasn't so soft-hearted.

I'm such a fool.

Everything is so interesting.

This must be what paradise is like.

Look at those square boxes flying by so fast.

The bus stop is right here, and the sun...

The sun will come up soon, so you should go your way.

Where do you expect me to go? All I know here is my name.

I'm sorry. I need to go to a part-time job.

My lady. My lady.

(Past, Joseon, Year 1403)

Hey.

I have a lot of stuff here. Please take a look.

How dare you sway your hip like that?

I see. You were never from a noble family.

You must have been a gisaeng.

That is right. You are so irritating.

And her name, Min Yu Jeong, does not suit you either.

Hey, you should change your name.

How about Gae Ddong?

That is one fine name for her.

The name, Yu Jeong, is too fancy for you. You are only a servant.

Hey! Show your manners!

- Gae Ddong. - Gae Ddong.

You better answer us!

Do you think your family is still noble?

You now have the lowliest status possible.

You deserve a good scolding.

Why are you girls bullying her every time you see her?

I ought to give you a beating to teach you a lesson.

Get out of here! Now!

You awful girls.

My goodness. Oh, no. My lady. Are you all right?

Thank you for looking out for me.

Treat them exactly the same way they treated you next time.

Do not put up with their bullying. Please?

Chun Deuk!

My goodness. Yes. I am coming!

Goodness. Poor thing. Oh, no.

Be careful.

It is so nice to come out for a walk with you, Mother.

Yu Jeong, can you sing for me?

It is just us here. It is okay.

I want to hear you sing.

Then, I have to bring out my emotions first.

The pain you are feeling without knowing why

Just think of it as a dream

If you resent me

My lady!

The lord has been taken by the soldiers,

stating that he may have engaged in treason!

My lady.

My young lady.

All right.

What a tantalizing sound.

Wait.

I have never heard of this chirping before.

All right. Let me see.

By nature, sounds are all different.

Okay. I am done now.

If you resent me

I will not bid you farewell

The pain you are feeling without knowing why

Just think of it as a dream

The laundry!

Oh, no. Talk about a pricey fee for a song.

My lady!

Are you awake?

You could have been in danger if I got there a bit late.

I understand that your laundry is important.

But it cannot be as important as one's life.

What? She did not even thank me.

Excuse me!

How...

Why don't you try it?

Thank you.

- What is that? - Oh, this?

- This looks delicious. - I made it myself.

I am all right. Your robe will be ruined.

Do not worry. You can use it.

I told you, I do not want it.

But how can I turn away...

from a lady who is shivering?

I am grateful that you saved me,

but I cannot accept your kindness.

Cover yourself.

It is okay.

Give it to me. I will return it to you.

Then where should I find you?

Where do you live? What is your name?

What is your father's name?

A lowly life such as myself does not have a family clan.

If you turn right at the end of the street,

there is a minister's house by a big tree. I work there.

Please come find me there.

I... I am sorry.

My goodness. It is as good as new.

That is for saving me from earlier.

Wait. Lady.

What is your name?

My name is Yu Jeong. Min Yu Jeong.

This is great. I was in the neighborhood for something.

My gosh, that scared me.

I was not done talking though.

My goodness! Please pardon me.

Please spare our lives.

I meant to throw it at her.

Are you saying it is okay...

to throw it at her but not me?

No, I am so sorry. Please forgive me just this once.

Please pardon me.

If you give us your robe, we will wash it clean and give it back.

Forget it. You do not only hurt someone physically.

Even if it did not hit her, you wounded her heart.

I will let it slide this time, but I want you to mark my words.

- Yes, we will, My Lord. - Yes, we will, My Lord.

I need to be somewhere with this lady, just so you know.

- Pardon? - Pardon?

- Okay, My Lord. - Okay, My Lord.

What? Where are we going?

Please follow me.

Where are we going?

Where are you headed to?

My Lord!

Master Park. Master Park is here!

Hello. How have you been?

- Good. - I am glad to see you.

He is the best musician of Joseon, Master Park Yeun.

Say hello to him, everyone.

- Hello, Master Park. - Hello, Master Park.

By the way, what took you so long to come back?

It took a while because I went to all regions of Joseon,

listening to all sorts of music Joseon can offer.

I see.

Who is this lady?

Are you perhaps getting married?

Well, since Master Park is back, let us have a feast tonight!

My Lord, did you call for me?

I am bringing some guests tomorrow evening.

So bring the servant called Yu Jeong from Master Kim's house...

and make her serve me.

Yes, My Lord.

It has been long, Master Park.

It has been long indeed.

Seeing how great you look, you must have some good news.

Is that so? If that is how you see me,

I am sure good things will find me.

How was your trip to Hanyang?

Tell us about your trip.

From what I heard,

you are nearly done rearranging Goryeo songs.

It is far from done.

I went around all over the country to learn from clowns and musicians.

Clowns taught you music?

The most useless thing in the world is the roots of people.

When they heard me play, they said the melody is crude...

and unprincipled.

They told me it is hard to fix as I am too used to my way of playing.

Who would dare to say that?

- That is what the clown told me. - What is his name?

- I am going to kill that... - When it comes to learning,

the status of people does not matter.

Even so...

You are indeed a man of great caliber.

I have wanted to see you more often,

but I could not since you are busy.

When Lord Lee Won told me he is meeting you tonight,

I begged him shamelessly...

to let me join the party.

You are too kind.

All right. How about reading his fortune as it has been long?

It looks like you met someone new.

But I cannot tell whether that person will bring you...

good luck or misfortune.

Even the great shaman, Do Yeong,

is behaving like a little girl in front of Yeun.

Would it be wrong...

for a shaman like me to have fond feelings for you?

Yeun, how do you make women fall for you like this?

I am more interested in your skills than your music.

Goodness, I almost forgot.

I forgot to treat you to something nice.

There is a nice bottle of alcohol that I brought from Ming.

Bring it in.

My lady.

What?

Do Yeong mentioned you met someone new.

But do not tell me that it is her.

What are you talking about?

I have heard rumors in the marketplace...

saying a musician and servant have fallen in love.

So I called her here.

Would you like to join us for a drink?

Then you should have called her as a guest.

This is very rude of you.

I could not do that.

How could I invite a servant to a gathering?

Do you not agree?

Do you...

know each other?

Her father was the late Lord Min.

However, she is a servant now.

Well...

She could have become my wife.

But that went to waste because her father committed treason.

Lord Min and his wife got executed.

And their daughter became a servant at Lord Kim's house.

You are a servant now.

But it looks like Yeun...

was not quite aware of that.

You should pour him a drink as a means to apologize.

I am still not familiar with the etiquette of serving alcohol.

- So I will have to refuse. - What?

Do you still think you are a nobleman's daughter?

Hurry up and pour him a drink.

I guess she is still having a hard time...

realizing that she is a servant now.

- Hurry. - Won.

- Hurry up and pour him a drink! - Won!

We have not met in a long time, so I got a little too emotional.

Are you okay?

I will excuse myself.

I do not think today is a good day.

Yeun.

It has been a long time. Have a drink before you go.

Yeun. Yeun!

She will bring chaos to Poongwoldang.

She will also bring chaos to you...

and Musician Park.

How am I going to deal with this?

Where am I?

You're dead in paradise.

Gosh, you startled me.

Don't be surprised. This is my room.

I am sorry. Once again, I am indebted to you.

Goodness, how strange.

I consider myself pretty healthy.

It's fine. Just pay me and leave.

You have fast hands.

They're very strong too.

I will be quiet.

You need to pay for sleeping here, making me skip my part-time job,

making me look like a fool,

and the taxi fare. That's 450 dollars in total.

What?

I made you look like a fool?

- What do you mean? - Just pay me and go.

I can't give you a discount.

How are you going to pay me?

Will you wire me the money? Or do you need to go to an ATM?

Just give it to me already and leave.

Are you talking about money?

What else would I be talking about? It can't be food.

Why am I so hungry?

I am dizzy, and I have a hard time thinking.

Do you really not remember anything?

How about your family? Or where you live?

- No. - Then what about your neighborhood?

Joseon. Have you heard of it?

"Joseon"?

You mean North Korea?

My gosh.

Try to remember what happened.

Did you get into a big accident?

Or did something happen to you?

I cannot remember.

Do you have any money?

Let me see.

Here. They cost a lot more than they seem...

You see, I believe in UFOs and ghosts.

I feel like they're not entirely absurd.

It'd be selfish to think we're the only ones living in this universe.

But...

of all the people you could've ended up with, why me?

You neither have a place to go nor any money.

I do have money.

They are very valuable and cost a lot more than...

Get out of there.

You can't just keep ignoring me.

She'll hear you.

I want her to hear me.

- I'm sure she'll pay. - My gosh, that's enough.

I want you to stay out of it. This is my business.

You're giving me these, right?

Are you sure?

A man never goes back on his word...

- Hello. - Hey.

What are they? What do you want me to do with them?

They're antiques.

Where did you get them?

I found them in a valley.

Then shouldn't we call the cops first?

Honey, they look really valuable.

What are you talking about?

Okay, fine. They do look valuable.

But I mean... I'm sure they're not worth much.

Or maybe they are.

How about I give you this for two months' worth of my rent?

"Two months"?

Each one is enough for three months.

Stay still.

Just two months. Don't go back on your word.

Of course.

- Lead the way. - Okay. Bye.

- Let's go. - Thank you.

- Go on. - Bye.

- We got really lucky. - Lucky, my foot.

I feel like we're at a loss. She should've given me four.

No, this is more than enough. Let's eat beef tonight.

Gosh, you seriously eat so much.

That was delicious. It was very good.

But I must say, that square box is unbelievable.

It is like a magic wand.

Yes, I bought a magic wand.

And I pay for using it every month.

What?

You just smiled.

That's it. You can stay here for a month.

If I can't pay rent, I'll get kicked out anyway.

Staying here for a month...

won't be as bad as sleeping on the street, right?

By the way, do you drink this water or bathe in it?

What's he saying?

Oh, no. What are you doing?

- Wash your hands and get out. - My hands.

That...

How fascinating.

At least, you're consistent.

Sir, you can sleep outside. I'll set up a tent for you.

"Tent"?

So you didn't escape from a hospital or anything.

You're really from Joseon?

I am Musician Park Yeun from Joseon.

"Park Yeun"?

Park Yeun?

That's a cool name.

Well, may I ask what your name is, my lady?

It's Haegeum.

Everyone calls me that.

Haegeum.

I cannot remember clearly,

but I was looking for a woman I love.

Let me get this straight.

You're from a very distant past,

Joseon. And you managed to time-travel to the future.

To the Republic of Korea in 2021?

"Very distant past"? "2021"?

Please do not kid.

I understand that I am not myself, but I will not fall for such jokes.

I am certain that I am either dreaming or a different world.

It is full of wonder here.

Well, once you get some rest,

hopefully, you'll gain your memories.

By the way, your stay here must be brief.

If I see anything suspicious, I'll report you right away.

That is my intention as well.

Please allow me to stay here for a short while.

Anyway, just like in Joseon, men and women...

can't sleep together after the age of seven.

Come here.

What on earth? That was never the case in my hometown.

It looks nice and cozy.

Then, you will sleep out here. I will sleep inside.

Do you want me to kick you out?

I was joking. A joke.

What is this?

It is called a guitar.

You have a funny way of speaking.

Can you play it?

You also have a funny way of speaking.

Go ahead. I want to see how well you can play that.

Any requests?

"Must You Go".

What? You know that song?

- You know it too? - I don't.

I'll just play whatever I want to.

The pain you are feeling without knowing why

Just think of it as a dream

If you truly

If you resent me

Blame my foolishness

I will not bid you farewell

The pain you are feeling without knowing why

Just think of it as a dream

The pain you are feeling without knowing why

Just think of it as a dream

If you truly

If you resent me

Blame my foolishness

I will not bid you farewell

The pain you are feeling without knowing why

Just think of it as a dream

You should get some sleep now. I'll see you tomorrow.

Goodnight.

Get some rest.

Yu Jeong, hang in there a bit longer.

Please.

(Must You Go)

It's a ghost!

Is this the right thing to do?

By the way, where are we going?

Let's find out the version of Joseon you remember.

I wonder why did I see him there?

I bet Do Yeong knows something about it.

What am I missing?

What could it be that my heart is aching this badly?

Let's go. You have an audition.

Yu Jeong. Min Yu Jeong.

I can remember everything now.
