Wait.

I'm coming.

(I'm back.)

The window was open.

What are you looking at?

I'm back.

(Episode 19)

It's a line...

from part one of "A Ghost's Love Story".

I'm sure that's what it is.

Part one was finalized over two months ago.

Maybe Yong Man wrote it.

It couldn't have been a ghost.

(Turtle Hardware)

The person you have reached is unavailable.

Please leave a message after the tone.

Why won't she pick up?

Why is this tree like this again?

You don't get possessed anymore, right?

You didn't...

feel anything before, right?

Yes.

I hear the same things you hear.

The wind...

and the clunking sound.

The same sounds.

I'm glad.

I guess I don't need to be possessed anymore.

Did you need to be before?

I did.

I was lonely, desperate, and earnest.

I even went to my mom's grave...

and did that.

Ghosts appear...

to people like that.

- When is the new release? - I look forward to it.

Ki Eun Young won't disappoint us.

It'll be better than "A Ghost's Love Story".

I need to write.

I'll beat Eul Soon at least once.

Just once. Please.

Please.

Life is so unfair.

Why is the ghost helping only you?

Want me...

to help?

If I help you,

what will you give me?

I... I'll get out.

I should go.

Are you afraid?

- What? - Are you running away?

It's because I don't know myself either right now.

What don't you know?

Just...

I don't know if I'm possessed,

drawn to you, or if it's because I like you.

Do you mean the kiss earlier?

You said you wouldn't run away even if you...

get hurt or die because of me,

but you'll back out because of a kiss?

- I want to go in. - Wait.

I...

You see,

I'm afraid of being abandoned.

What do you mean?

I'm more afraid of being abandoned...

by a person than getting hurt or dying.

That's why your aggressiveness scares me.

Why... Why would I abandon you?

I won't leave you.

(A Ghost's Love Story)

Why would I abandon you?

I won't leave you.

Eul Soon. Snap out of it.

Stop that. Focus.

This isn't right.

Kissing is fine.

What?

It's okay to kiss.

How... How did you know?

I read it while you were out.

You're so young, but...

Why is this so dull?

The script.

It's part 10 already.

It's okay to kiss by now.

There's a flow to things. They can't kiss...

- out of nowhere. - Come on.

Just let them kiss and get things moving.

Some dramas have them kissing in part two.

She's a mind-reader.

She startled me.

Oh, my gosh.

My goodness.

What brings you here?

Well, I wanted to see if Ms. Oh was in.

Yes, she's upstairs. I'll get her.

Thank you.

But...

Anyway, is your name...

Lee Sung Joong?

Yes, it is.

I see. I saw your name printed on the script.

I know the name, so...

I see. You do?

Do you remember where we met before?

It was my friend's son who lived with us before.

By chance...

Yes? What is it?

What is...

your mother's name?

It's Jang Hye Yun.

My goodness.

Oh, my gosh! You are Hye Yun's son!

Oh, my gosh! When did you grow so much?

Oh, my gosh. It is you!

When did you grow so much?

- You recognize me now? - That's right.

Don't talk to Eul Soon here, come in.

Okay.

Eul Soon!

- Hey. - Eul Soon!

Eul Soon!

Why do you keep following my daughter?

He must like her.

He's always talking about her at home too.

Eul Soon!

Hurry up.

My gosh.

Were you still following my daughter around?

You followed her around when you were little.

She used to sleep with you all the time.

Don't you remember?

Mom.

How did you not recognize him all this time?

It's been 24 years.

I'm unique for recognizing her.

That's true.

You look just like your mom, which is why...

I recognized you.

There are people lingering here.

I see them.

You must be very shocked.

Mr. Lee, do you still see...

- those people... - So,

I saw Eul Soon since junior high.

She was on our school's judo team.

She didn't know much about me.

She didn't know.

Let's win, Eul Soon!

Let's go, Eul Soon!

Let's win, Eul Soon!

Let's go, Eul Soon!

Let's win, Eul Soon!

Let's go, Eul Soon!

As you know,

Oh Eul Soon, who won the gold medal in...

the National High School Sports Competition...

came here just for you.

(Oh Eul Soon)

Okay. We'll take a photo before we begin sparring.

Get up here.

Look here.

1, 2, 3.

Eul Soon must have changed a lot.

How did you recognize her?

She hasn't changed at all.

As if.

I'm a sinner.

I raised her so pretty when she was young.

If only we hadn't done that spirit ceremony,

she wouldn't have ended up like this.

Mom. Why are you bringing that up now?

A spirit ceremony?

Well, Mr. Lee. Why don't we go outside?

Excuse me?

Why didn't you tell me?

At first, I hoped you'd recognize me.

Later, I missed the right timing.

Then I tried to tell you, but you remembered...

my six-year-old self as someone scary...

who gave you the chills. How could I tell you?

I don't think I said you gave me the chills.

You said it with your face.

"Eul Soon, I see people lingering here."

He was super scary.

I guess so.

Sorry if I offended you, kid... Mr. Lee.

You don't need to be formal.

You should've told me sooner.

If you had,

I would've been good to you, Sung Joong.

Sung Joong.

This isn't right. Okay.

- Your big sister... - Don't say that.

- What? - You're not my sister.

Plus, I don't want to treat you like one.

Okay?

What?

What...

Mr. Lee. Then...

do you still see people lingering around?

Is that why you told me about the apple tree?

Will you finally listen to me now?

I told you what I saw.

It's not a myth.

You're thirsty, right?

Sit down, and wait for me. I'll get coffee.

Okay.

Oh, my gosh!

- What are you doing? - What do you mean?

What are you doing here?

What else? I came to get you.

Where are we going?

- Come with me. - Hey.

- Come here. - What?

I found a way.

A way for what?

A way for us to be together.

What is it?

You hide behind me.

In my shadow.

What was that?

I'll give you all the luck that comes my way.

I'll protect you from being hurt, sad,

or hungry.

So have faith that I will not abandon you,

and hide behind me.

That will do, won't it?

Right?

Philip.

- Right? - Philip.

What...

Gosh, I'm sorry.

Are you okay?

You can't catch a ball with your bare hands!

I think you'll have to hide behind me.

What is that man doing there?

Is he taking pictures of our house?

What are you doing?

Hey. Look here, lady.

Give me that.

Give you what?

You were taking pictures of my house.

Hand over that tiny camera.

What camera?

You saw wrong. I'm not like that.

No matter if I saw wrong or not,

hand it over.

Why you little...

Stop!

Stop!

Calm down!

Stop.

You don't know what you're doing.

Do you recognize her?

I confirmed that the video was altered.

Who gave this to you?

Mr. Lee Sung Joong sent it to us...

and said it may help with the investigation.

I had asked him to look at it.

The problem isn't the altered part,

but the part where Ki Eun Young appears.

This is during the time she claims...

Sa Dong Chul held her captive.

Did you go see her?

I was threatened.

Sa Dong Chul threatened me,

and told me to lure Philip...

to the fifth floor.

That's all.

The more I listen to her talk, it's like...

she's brainwashing you.

I feel like I'm being lied to.

If she helped him lure Philip,

isn't she an accomplice?

That's not all.

You were buried in a landslide on Mount Uchi,

where Lee Soo Jung was found,

on the same day and time, correct?

That's right.

We looked into it, and...

if not for the landslide,

her body would never have been found.

It's as if the landslide occurred...

just to expose her dead body.

Who caused the landslide?

How?

I'm scared.

Maybe it was a ghost.

It sounds strange, doesn't it?

It seems strange to me too.

Also, did you know that Ki Eun Young was there...

when the Gyeongkwang fire broke out eight years ago?

Ki Eun Young and I...

were involved in three common incidents.

- Is that it? - Yes.

Can you think of any evidence...

or motive for her doing this to you?

Anything?

Hello?

This is Eul Soon's mom.

Yes,

hello.

I'd like you to come over right now.

Isn't that the private investigator?

Ms. Oh must take after her mom.

She took down a grown man.

What's going on?

Philip...

Do you know him?

Yes.

Then...

did you tell him to take these pictures?

Why did you take these pictures?

I asked if you had him do this.

It wasn't me.

Who hired you to do this?

Who was it?

Shin Yoon Ah.

What?

Shin Yoon Ah.

That Shin Yoon Ah?

"You Philip and Shin Yoon Ah Soon to Be Wed."

"You Philip and Shin Yoon Ah In Love."

"You Philip and Shin Yoon Ah's Joint Project."

That Shin Yoon Ah?

Wait in the car.

Why?

I'm going to talk with Ms. Oh's mother.

No. You'll die.

I think her mother...

is much more extreme than Ms. Oh.

If Ms. Oh is a spirit,

she's a deity.

- So am I. - What?

I'm worshiped by many.

That moron...

Ma'am.

I told you, I have no money!

Eul Soon doesn't have any money either.

And we won't get any from that You Philip guy.

I think that stupid girl...

is being used by You Philip.

How could she beat Shin Yoon Ah?

She even hired someone to dig into his life.

Your daughter doesn't have any money?

She's a drama writer.

Not all drama writers make money.

Based on how she lives, she's a dead end.

Then what about the shed that collapsed?

It's getting chilly now.

Did I tell you to buy a cow?

Is it my fault the shed collapsed?

So why did you have to buy a cow?

Once the drama starts, she'll probably get paid.

Wait a little bit.

Should I send some of the cheese...

that we made at our farm to your daughter?

Are you insane?

My daughter thinks I came from San Francisco.

Bye.

You see,

I'm afraid of being abandoned.

Philip, what are you doing here?

How much will it cost...

to fix the shed?

I'll give you the money.

Why would I take that money from you?

I think it'll hurt Ms. Oh less if I stop it...

before she finds out.

That's why I'm offering.

I want to prevent the shed from collapsing,

and Ms. Oh from getting hurt.

Your daughter said...

she's more afraid...

of being abandoned than getting hurt.

If she finds out that her mom who left her...

24 years ago came back to ask for money,

she'll think she'll be abandoned again.

What do you know?

I know since I've been used and abandoned.

Please don't do that to your daughter.

Please remain as her mother who came...

from San Francisco...

because she missed her daughter.

She's my daughter.

Don't you hurt her.

Things are very different from how they appear.

I'll handle the situation, so don't worry.

Are you okay?

Nothing happened.

Her mother isn't a thug or anything.

Anyway,

Yoon Ah was the one who sent those photos...

to the police, wasn't it?

(Get me out of here... It's too hot.)

You were in here?

What are you doing here?

Yong Man.

Doesn't Ms. Oh write here?

She does. She came by even yesterday too.

But I don't see the scripts.

She finished up to part 10 yesterday...

and took all the copies with her today.

I see.

We need to talk.

What's wrong? You're scaring me.

Yoon Ah.

Let's stop lying now.

(Episode 20)

What's wrong?

You're scaring me.

Yoon Ah.

Let's stop lying now.

What do you mean?

I always thought...

you'll stay with me as long as you want...

and leave once you found someone nice.

But I think it's lasting too long.

Let's stop.

I don't want to.

Yoon Ah.

Look at this.

The scar I got...

while risking my life to save you from the fire.

You told me to stay with you...

for as long as I want.

I'm not done yet.

I want to stay longer.

I must.

Stop coming over too.

Keep your promise.

I can't do it.

I don't want to lie anymore.

Philip.

It was too hard to get myself to say this,

so I had been waiting for you to move on.

But...

this isn't right.

Philip, why are you doing this to me?

What happened to you?

You always forgave me regardless of what I did.

You knew why I was like that,

so you forgave me for everything.

You never did this during the past eight years!

You announce the break up.

Say whatever you want.

Ki Eun Young agreed to be co-writers on the drama.

It was a difficult agreement to reach.

I'm relying on you.

Isn't this where Lee Soo Jung died?

It's so creepy.

I can use that desk, right?

We've worked together before,

and we know each other's style,

so let's not encroach on each other's turf.

I hope we work well together.

You stole from me, but you want...

to work well together?

You haven't changed.

You have no pride.

You're just endlessly optimistic.

That's how you got this far.

I don't know why...

you agreed to be co-writers on the drama,

but you didn't have a choice either.

Am I wrong?

It's the same for me too.

That's why I want to get along.

I read part 10.

If you have material to share, share them.

Hand over the draft once you write it.

I'm sure it'll be garbage though.

Eun Young,

don't be afraid.

- What? - Trying so hard...

to disrespect me...

makes you look very scared.

Eun Young.

Eun Young.

What's your problem?

Why are you...

biting your lip so hard that it's bleeding?

Is it okay co-writing with Ms. Ki?

How could it be okay?

How is her reputation in the industry?

What?

I'm having people I know look into it,

but I think she's up to something by agreeing...

to be co-writers.

I think I saw dumplings in the fridge.

I told Yong Man to pick up chicken.

But we still have dumplings.

I didn't say this before,

but I hate dumplings more than anything.

Why?

Have you been hit for stealing dumplings?

Hit for stealing dumplings? Have you?

Yes, I have.

I starved for four days and walked by a market.

The owner left the steamer open and walked inside.

I thought that was my chance,

so I grabbed two dumplings and fled.

- So? - They were too hot.

Do you know what it feels like to hold hot coal?

But I couldn't let go because I was starving.

So? Did you get to eat them?

Stop right there! Stop!

I didn't get very far.

I've got you.

Let's go to the police.

- Get over here. - Let go!

Get up. Do you think I work...

to feed your kind? You brat.

That girl.

I resented that girl more than that man.

When...

When was that?

In 2002, during the World Cup.

World Cup...

Don't you pity me?

I want to use...

this pity that you feel.

Philip! The chicken is here!

Are... Are you okay?

Get up.

(A Ghost's Love Story)

What are you doing?

She isn't coming today.

Do you even know whom I'm waiting for?

I'm sure it isn't Yoon Ah.

Is that a gift for Ms. Oh for her debut?

But she got a call from Mr. Lee earlier...

and went out.

Of course, she should watch with the director.

Okay.

What are you doing?

Why are you taking off your jacket?

I can't leave you alone like this.

It's my first day off in a month,

but I'll turn it back in.

I'll make the sacrifice.

- Yong Man. - Yes?

- I feel like... - Yes?

I'm making the sacrifice.

- What? - Get out!

- Rating. - I say 2.5.

What?

Listen to her talk.

Rating.

- Do you have plans? - Sorry?

No.

I came out while working,

so it's getting on my nerves.

It's okay. You should have a beer...

and rest on a day like today.

Cheers.

A college in Gucheon City.

The cafeteria is locked.

I'm not here to fight with you guys.

Does anyone remember? Raise your hand.

I see about 4,000 people raising their hands.

They all have good manners.

And they follow rules very well.

They're all good.

- Brisbane is the third... - Mr. Lee.

largest city in Australia.

You know,

I had met Philip every eight years.

Isn't that incredible?

- Every eight years? - Yes.

We first met 24 years ago.

Then we met again 16 years ago.

Eight years ago, we were in the same building.

And this is the fourth time we met.

I guess our path opens every eight years.

Then...

if we part ways this time,

will we be able...

to meet again eight years later?

What happened...

every eight years?

Think about that.

Did it bring you misfortune...

or fortune?

Mr. Lee!

- Yes? - It's Mr. Cho.

Okay. Got it.

Excuse me.

Hello, sir.

You're back.

You should've woken me.

It just started.

- Are you nervous? - Yes.

(A Ghost's Love Story)

(You Philip)

Is it that fun?

How do you know how to do that?

That's nothing.

How do you feel?

Let's see.

It rocks.

It seriously rocks.

It seriously rocks.

Enjoy it.

But keep Shin alive.

You went through so much...

because of me and what I wrote.

You almost died too.

Your writing...

doesn't kill, but saves lives.

Keep saving me, okay?

This is a gift.

Congratulations.

It's to replace the necklace...

you threw into the ocean for me.

I'll return everything you lost...

because of me.

I'll pay you back for them all.

This is the first one.

That left a scar.

I'll repay you for this too...

someday.

Here. I'll lend it to you.

We met again...

after 24 years because of the necklace.

It wasn't after 24 years.

It was every eight years.

- What? - You don't remember,

do you?

We met 16 years go.

16 years ago?

The day you stole the dumplings.

The girl who was yelling at the man.

That...

was me.

I told you...

to come whenever you wanted dumplings.

Why you...

I'm glad I got you.

You... You annoying brat.

Hey. Stop it.

Who are you? Are you working with him?

If not, stay out of it.

Imagine how hungry he was to steal that.

Butt out!

Let's go to the cops!

Let him go!

You... You're nothing but bad luck.

There are two things you should never eat.

Dirty things,

and something that belongs to someone else.

If you get hungry,

come to our place.

I can feed you as many dumplings as you want.

(Eul Dumplings, Dongchi-dong)

And...

eight years ago, during the Corina Residence fire,

we may have walked past each other.

Eul Dumplings?

That was you?

(Eul Dumplings, Dongchi-dong)

(Eul Dumplings)

Mom.

Mom!

Mom!

- Mom! - My goodness.

My daughter's home.

- Did you have a good day? - Yes.

Really? What did your teacher say?

- He said I'll make it. - Did he really say that?

Good.

You remember the name.

Isn't Ms. Oh home?

She said she was going to work.

She doesn't work here.

She works in a workroom with her assistant.

Sorry?

With her assistant?

Come in. Have some tea.

Okay.

Have a seat.

I heard the workroom is in Bongmyeon-dong.

Which reminds me,

do you still live in that house?

Our house that your family bought...

when we went bankrupt.

I've been renting it out.

I live nearby.

But...

about the spirit ceremony that you mentioned.

What was that about?

When Eul Soon was 10,

after we got that spirit ceremony,

she began to get sick,

and her dad's business failed.

What was the spirit ceremony for?

For great fortune.

His greed had gone too far.

It wasn't just because of the ceremony.

But...

did you hear anything else back then?

Many people said Eul Soon had a unique destiny.

Something about her luck changing...

every eight years or something.

We even uprooted...

and burnt our apple tree because of her.

We did all sorts of strange things.

(Turtle Hardware)

Eul Soon.

I'm sorry.

Let's meet.

I'll go there.

Please have a seat.

Would you like coffee?

Yes, please.

What brings you here?

The staff member who sees ghosts...

Who is it?

It's you, isn't it?

You saw a ghost lingering around me,

didn't you?

Yes, it is me.

What did you see around me?

The day I arrived two months ago...

It must have been the day of the landslide.

I returned to Korea the same day as you.

I saw a spiritual energy lingering around you.

Later,

I saw the same spiritual energy around Ms. Oh.

A spiritual energy?

And I saw its power as well.

On the first floor of Ms. Oh's house.

In the closed restaurant.

You can't stop me.

The spiritual energy that you saw...

Was it...

this woman?

(Eul Dumplings)

Mom.

Was it you, Mom?

Eul Chook.

Philip, are you hurt?

I'll return everything you lost...

because of me.

I'll pay you back...

for the wounds you got because of me.

It was never yours to begin with.

Now,

you must give it all back.

Mom.
