Open the door!

Open the door.

Open this door!

Dear God.

When I receive your calling,

please give me the power to save one soul

no matter how strong the fire may be.

Dear God.

I am still afraid, and I pray for the rain to come.

Hello?

Hello?

Kim Joo-won!

Hello?

I told you

I can't...

take...

the elevator.

Hello?

Joo-won!

Answer me.

Say something!

I hope that you prepare me for the time

when the fate of a life is unknown.

If I die by your will,

by your grace,

please look over my wife and family.

Kim Joo-won!

Answer me!

Say something!

A-yeong! The elevator!

In the elevator...

Ra-im?

-What's this number-- -Hurry, A-yeong!

You need to hurry.

Kim Joo-won is trapped inside the elevator.

What do you mean? The CEO never takes the elevator.

He did. He took it.

He's trapped inside!

Hurry and call Mr. Kim. Hurry!

EMERGENCY SERVICES

Someone's trapped in the elevator at Loel Department Store.

He has claustrophobia!

Please save him!

Save him, please!

Loel Department Store!

Please hurry.

Oh, no.

It's all my fault.

Mister, please hurry!

Please hurry, mister!

President Kim!

President Kim, are you inside?

President Kim, please say something!

President Kim!

President Kim!

Open your eyes.

President Kim!

Hurry up and open this!

Get him out! Sir!

Get up, President Kim!

President Kim! What's wrong with him?

Hurry up and open this!

President Kim!

Hurry up and get him out!

President Kim! Please get up!

Oh no!

President Kim!

President Kim!

President Kim!

Out of the way, please.

Please follow that ambulance!

Hurry!

-What? -Director Lian Jackson

asked why Ra-im wasn't there.

But I can't reach her.

Has she really gone crazy?

How could she miss this audition?

It's because

-Ra-im isn't Ra-im. -What?

EMERGENCY ROOM

Mr. Park.

What happened?

What happened to President Kim?

Well, the security was so tight, I couldn't really find out...

I didn't mean for this to happen.

I was just really curious.

You should get out of here.

Let's go.

Let's go.

President Kim...

Mr. Park.

President Kim...

President Kim...

Mr. Kim.

Ra-im.

What happened?

Is he all right?

I don't know yet.

Why did he have to take the elevator?

Oh no.

Is he all right? Is he awake?

He says to make sure word doesn't get out. Just say it was from overworking.

Seeing that he's concerned more about the press, he must be okay.

Sir.

It's been a while.

Do I know you?

I guess your visit is a secret.

I won't tell anyone. You can go in.

ABSOLUTE REST

Are you all right?

Are you really okay?

What were you doing in the elevator?

Didn't you hear what I said?

I told you I can't take the elevator!

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

I just wanted to show that you could.

I never imagined it would stop.

I'm so sorry.

Come closer.

I thought I'd never see you again, you woman.

I thought I'd never seen you again.

I thought something bad would happen.

I'm sorry.

Don't cry.

How was your audition?

Did it go well?

Why aren't you saying anything?

Don't tell me...

You missed it.

How was I supposed to audition in such a state?

What?

Then you came here instead?

Are you out of your mind?

You said it was your lifelong dream.

What are you doing?

You need complete rest right now.

Be quiet and turn around so I can change.

There he is!

It's Oska.

Is everything cleared now, Oska?

Did you confront the composer?

How do you feel?

I feel relieved

to prove my innocence. It's a great relief.

Could you look to the right, please?

But my left side is prettier.

Can't you take the picture and send it to that reporter?

All right.

You received much help from your colleagues, correct?

Yes. I've only realized this recently.

But no help is guaranteed in this world.

I would like to thank those who helped me for making a difficult decision.

Among those who helped was Cherry.

Weren't you two involved in a scandal together?

Since our country is surrounded by water,

it's difficult to avoid a scandal with me.

So I am especially grateful and sorry to Cherry.

All right. That will be all for today.

Wait a minute.

Oska, please wait!

One more question!

Please look this way.

Just one photo!

-Where were you? -When did you get here?

Just now.

Want some?

I just got back from the police station.

-You did? -Hey.

Aren't you even worried?

You were responsible for the leak.

I told you to sue the company.

Get straight to the point. I'm busy.

You really didn't worry about me?

Everything's been resolved now, thanks to Cherry.

I was hoping I could share this joy with you.

Why with me? Share it with Cherry.

I have to go.

-Go where? -Loel Department Store.

Why?

Are you still not over Joo-won?

Wouldn't it be weird if I was?

He's so perfect.

Whatever. Do you even know what he's really like?

Hence I'm going to find out.

Hey, let me come with you.

I was going to go anyway.

Why?

I have to buy Cherry a bag. Want to help me pick one?

Are you asking me to pick out a bag for some other girl?

I'm not asking you to buy it. No need to get mad.

This isn't your first time.

Why do you need my help?

I dare you to follow me.

Why are you smiling?

Don't spit.

-What? -I don't know

why I like it when you glare.

Right now, it feels like we're back to how we were.

With whose permission?

Who said you could turn back time?

Who said you could go back to my most painful times?

How is it that you forgive yourself so easily?

Don't look so upset.

I'll get you another audition.

-How? -However I can.

I told you...

I'm much more capable than you think.

Are you going to tell your grandfather?

That's my last resort.

Don't cry.

I don't ever want to see you crying again.

It's too much for me to bear.

I really hope that a miracle like that will occur.

Please believe in me.

I will make that miracle happen.

I told you to stop crying.

Where were you?

What happened? Why didn't you audition?

Did that punk say he couldn't help you?

That punk had a bit of a situation.

What kind of situation?

Where is he?

Right here.

-What? -We switched back.

It turns out that it was the rain.

Then you're Kim Joo-won?

Are you that happy to see me?

Yes, I am.

Send the medical certificate to the action school.

What?

You really pack a punch.

It's nothing compared to what you did.

I know.

Telling you not to confess your feelings to Ra-im, let's call it even with this.

Be thankful that I consider you an alienated neighbor.

Otherwise, you would've met my lawyer.

Shut your mouth, before you're left half dead.

Wait, let me talk to you.

I have nothing to say to you.

It's about Ra-im.

We have to let her audition.

It's already over.

I'll take care of that.

Tell me how to get a hold of that Hollywood director.

He went to Japan. How will you meet him?

He's in Japan?

I have a favor to ask.

Which one are you?

Ra-im?

The tone of your voice is just like Joo-won though.

I wish I could tell everyone in one sitting.

It's me. Remember, it rained?

Do I look like the weather girl?

This is too confusing. Let's come up with a password.

I don't have a lot of time, okay?

You have connections in Japan, since you're a Korean Wave star, right?

Yes, I have a lot of connections. So?

Ra-im had an important audition today, but she missed it because of me.

But that director went to Japan.

Find out which hotel he's at and a direct number to contact him on.

What do I get in return?

What do you want?

-Gil Ra-im. -Just die.

Then get out of my house.

And go where? I have nowhere to go.

Get a hotel room.

And publicize that I was kicked out?

I hear that people are betting

on when I'll get kicked out, since the party.

Who told you to kiss her and publicize that you're crazy.

I couldn't resist.

It was a moment I had been waiting too long for.

So will you help me?

You've gone crazy over her.

May I speak to the representative of Yamato TV?

I'm the Korean singer Oska.

Yes, thank you.

I love you too.

DARK BLOOD SCENES

Hello, this is Oska.

Director Lian Jackson is currently in Japan, right?

Hello, sir. How have you been?

It's me, Oska.

The representative at Yamato TV gave me this number.

Oh, you got the call?

Yes, I have a pen.

Yes.

Yes. Thank you so much.

I will be sure to call you the next time I'm in Japan.

The top is his cell phone number,

and the bottom is his room number.

I'll thank you later.

If you had any intention, you would've done it already.

Darn it.

This is driving me crazy.

Is he the only one busy?

Is he the only one in the top one percent?

Is this even the right number?

Send a private jet over to Haneda right now.

What? A private jet?

Go to the left here.

When he turns around. You come in from this side.

Make sure you do a good job here.

Got it.

How good this scene comes out entirely depends on you,

so we're counting on you.

Thank you. I'll do my best.

All right, let's go.

Good work, everyone.

Good work.

-Turn in your outfits, please. -I'll go change right now.

Do you know Choi U-yeong? I mean, Oska.

-Oska? -You don't know him?

What if I do?

Let's go. His cousin wants to see you.

Me?

Are you sure he wants to see stuntwoman Gil Ra-im and not the actress?

He sounds crazy, right?

He does seem to have unique taste.

Please raise your hand.

Over here.

Enjoy.

Are you going to cuss me out for buying food again?

Those aren't ordinary lunch boxes. They're our memories.

Did I say anything?

-Thank you. -That's why I did it.

Wait here.

I'm going to go speak to that person.

The director? What are you going to say?

Just to let him know.

That to me, you're Kim Tae-hee and Jeon Do-yeon.

You're crazy!

Why did you come here though?

Because you're here.

I missed you. I had no choice.

I got to see you, so I should go now.

I have to take care of some work at the office.

Bye.

-Mr. Kim! -Yes, sir.

Shall we go

and end the lives of the perpetrators that stopped the elevator?

I'll cut to the chase.

Was it purely an accident that the elevator stopped?

Yes.

Is that so?

Then is it okay if I check all the security camera footage?

I will ask you again.

Was it purely an accident

that the elevator stopped?

Go and do your work.

Yes.

This is my letter of resignation.

I will take full responsibility.

By taking full responsibility, are you admitting

that it wasn't a pure accident, and this was your doing?

Yes.

Why?

I wanted to make sure

whether you could take the elevator or not.

You knew about my condition?

Yes.

What were you planning to do if your suspicions were confirmed

about my condition?

Isn't it obvious?

Why are you being so honest?

Because I'd rather be unemployed than be a murderer.

I am happy

to know you are safe.

-Mr. Park. -Yes?

You made the right choice.

No further action will be taken.

I accept your resignation.

You've worked hard. You may go now.

That was a close one.

We'll do all the on-site work. Just focus on the design from now on.

Leave if you're going to lecture me.

I'm back.

Did you get hurt?

He got a huge cut. There was so much blood.

How was the shoot?

Have you gone to the hospital?

Do you feel better?

You haven't, have you?

Why is she so persistent?

Pay attention. He asked how the shoot went.

You know me.

Once again, I made my mark in this industry.

Do you feel a bit better?

I'm much more at peace now.

I told myself that it wasn't meant to be.

She says it wasn't meant to be.

Any other questions?

Aren't you leaving?

-Aren't you leaving? -I mean you.

Right, Ra-im.

Should we order chicken, and not give her any?

Are you messing with me?

Am I not allowed to?

I'm the director now.

GIL RA-IM

That's the way, Ra-im. Don't get hung up on it.

It just wasn't meant to be.

My daughter. You're all right now.

I feel relieved now.

FORGIVE ME FOR FORGIVING MYSELF TOO EASILY

ALSO, ARE YOU SURE THE ROASTED CHESTNUTS WASN'T YOU?

I HAVE TO GET GOING NOW. BY THE WAY, YOU'RE THE PRETTIEST HERE

Why did you want to see me?

Tell me why you've called me out. Why are you just staring?

I want to know what's inside that head of yours.

I heard that you didn't sign with Seul.

So?

So sign with me.

I'll make you rich like me.

-I don't want to. -Why not?

-Because I don't want to. -So why not?

You didn't even think about it.

If I've tried this hard, shouldn't you just give in by now?

Why are you so obsessed with me?

-Do you like me? -Would I do this if I hated you?

I told you, I like men.

Who's stopping you? Like men all you like. I'll like women.

If you're going to be like this, why did you help me?

The moment you helped me, a bond was formed between us.

The tight, sticky kind.

It's practically destiny, I tell you.

Don't flatter yourself.

You still have no idea how to coax me.

Stop fooling around, and take it while it's here.

What else have you got? Are you going to catch shrimp?

You look like one.

I'm leaving Korea.

That's what you always say.

You haven't even been to the army. Think about it,

and get back to me. I'm taking this as collateral.

Stop bluffing and make sure you come to get it,

with an answer that will please me.

I'll be going then.

You have a visitor.

I came to get my things.

Since I'm back to being myself.

What? Shouldn't you want to stay here more, then?

You're funny.

Should I bring out some tea?

Yes, please. Have a seat. Let's hold a New Year's fan meeting.

This is for 2011.

I'm so photogenic.

You are.

Aren't you going to sign it though?

With a relationship like ours?

It is a must.

So you can tell everyone we're close.

By the way, is Joo-won still staying here?

He still can't go back?

Aunt never takes back what she says.

The harder she strikes, the harder Joo-won strikes back.

She's been calling to tell me to kick him out. It's insane.

Here.

Thank you.

I've always wanted to ask you...

Why do you always let Joo-won win?

How did you know I let him?

Everyone thinks I lose to him.

Because, you always look happy after you lose.

You really are a great catch, the more I get to know you.

Be good to Joo-won for me.

The reason I always let him win...

It's because when Joo-won was 21,

he experienced something he shouldn't have.

Because of that, he had a really tough time,

and fell into something like depression.

It was difficult to watch him go through that.

He didn't speak at all.

I started to pick fights with him, tease him, and bother him on purpose.

Because then, he'd at least fight back.

What happened to him?

Hear it from Joo-won.

Later, if he remembers.

-What? -Joo-won doesn't remember what happened.

He unconsciously erased it from his memory in order to protect himself.

You should've told me you were coming.

I went all the way to your house.

What? Did U-yeong talk bad about me again?

Oskie isn't like that.

I came to get my things.

Oskie, my butt.

Hasn't anyone called you, by any chance?

Who?

No one called and said something like, "Congratulations"?

What are you talking about?

Never mind.

Give it here. You're going home, right?

Let's stop by for some tea on the way.

I already had some with Oskie.

Woman, I'm asking you out on a date!

I know.

And you just got rejected.

What? Why?

So you can think about it all day.

Where did you learn this stuff?

Why are you coming in?

You think I drove you home so I can stand by the doorway?

Are you skipping our hugs and mistreating me like this

because I got kicked out of my house?

You have Oskie's place.

Sit down.

Why?

Listen carefully to what I say next.

Don't refer to U-yeong as "Oskie."

Starting today, I'm the only one you can call by a pet name.

-What? -If you give anyone else a pet name,

it'll be considered cheating.

I don't believe in giving each other space and trusting the other won't cheat.

Understood?

Stop glaring.

You stole my heart with your weird habits. You stole my body with your weird liquor.

You stole my lips at my party. You have no right to always glare.

How could you dramatize it like that?

Be thankful that I can.

You think you'd look this pretty to me otherwise?

Leave before I report you for trespassing.

Geez. You got another one?

This was your doing, wasn't it?

-You did this, right? -No.

You did it with your hand. Shred by shred.

Want me to break you, bone by bone?

-Give it. -No.

What's January 8th? What day is it?

You don't have to know.

-Give it to me. -All right.

Are you crazy? A-yeong will be here any moment.

My employees don't have that much free time on their hands.

Seriously!

By the way, Ms. Gil Ra-im.

Your eyes are really pretty.

Which part will be pretty tomorrow?

Want me to guess?

I already know.

That was for all the hugs I owe you.

That's it.

A-yeong is working overtime tonight.

Hey!

He's at her house right now?

He didn't move in, did he?

It doesn't appear that way.

I think,

he just missed her...

Mr. Kang!

Where has he been sleeping lately?

He is staying with Mr. U-yeong.

Gil Ra-im came by today to get her things.

So that's why he followed her home?

He's totally and completely possessed.

Otherwise, how could he be like this?

I think he's in love...

Mr. Kang.

Did Joo-won pay you?

I apologize. What about tomorrow?

Tomorrow is the yearly visit to...

Yes, of course.

That'll be all.

Hey, Bun-hong!

Can't you call beforehand?

Look at this.

Isn't she the one who came to our dinner?

The one who was set up with Joo-won?

What are they trying to pull here?

That's what I'm saying. Who does she think she is?

The blind date with Joo-won, and the scandal with U-yeong.

Who's she going to marry?

What is the matter with you?

Why are you blaming this on her?

U-yeong must've seduced her because she said she was a fan.

What do you mean by that?

Are you trying to say that my U-yeong went after his own cousin's date?

If it's not true, then fine.

Hey!

Stop right there! Hey!

The main line will be, "I held his hand today."

When a hand is placed on the handprint,

it will transform into a real hand, as if a star is actually holding it.

What about post-production?

We got someone.

The ad will look cheap if the CG is not done properly...

So pay special attention to it.

Go scout the other locations.

Okay.

What are you doing here?

To show you something.

Did you see this?

The headline is hot and straight to the point. I love it.

What is this?

Can't you see? We're in a scandal.

Did you call the newspapers

and tell them it wasn't true?

Pick up every single call

and explain it to them. Don't let any more articles be released.

What?

I remembered something again.

What?

This is how I told you

to react if we got in a scandal, huh?

I told you to pick up all the calls and deny everything.

That it'll be a pain if additional articles get out.

Whenever I thought about us,

I only remembered our happy moments.

But I guess

they were just the memories that were convenient for me.

While you were hurting this much.

Did I just realize this?

Can't you see that I'm working?

Go.

What was it that I did to you?

Hello?

Is this Director Yoon Seul?

I'm calling from Star Daily about your scandal with Oska.

The dating rumors...

They're...

not true.

I have nothing else to say.

I did as you told me.

So you take care of the rest--

Isn't it December 5th by the lunar calendar?

My dad was a firefighter

but during a rescue when I was 17...

He passed away.

If she was 17...

That would be 13 years ago.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 3RD, 1997

U-yeong.

Sorry, but I'm not in the mood to talk.

It's important.

Make it short.

Ra-im's father passed on December 5th on the lunar calendar.

That's 13 years ago.

-So? -So

I searched that date,

and it's the same day as my accident.

Are you sure? You have no memory of the accident.

I don't have any memory, but I do have records.

I looked at my hospital records.

In case it helped me remember.

It was the same day as my car accident.

Isn't that a strange coincidence?

Aren't those kinds of coincidences common?

Maybe.

But a few days ago, I was trapped inside an elevator.

And I remembered something.

You were trapped in an elevator?

U-yeong.

The accident that I can't remember...

You, my mom and the entire family...

The one that everyone keeps telling me was a car accident..

That was an elevator accident, wasn't it?

But why did you all lie and tell me it was a minor car accident?

You all said I got into an accident while driving by myself.

What are you talking about? What do you mean it wasn't a car accident?

Don't pretend you don't know.

What is it?

Drop the act.

You knew it was an elevator accident, didn't you?

You knew, didn't you?

Mom knew, U-yeong knew and you knew,

right?

Why did you lie then?

We wanted to protect you.

You seemed to be suffering a lot.

There was no reason to tell you the truth

when you were trying to push back the memories.

That's why we made up that story.

What exactly happened inside the elevator?

That...

None of us know either.

We heard about the accident after you were transferred to the hospital.

That means, ultimately, I have to remember it on my own.

But why?

People try to forget things about their lives all the time.

That's what you've been doing.

If you look at it that way, yes.

But I feel

as if I've lost something precious.

Precious?

I don't know exactly what it is.

It's just how I feel.

What? A terminal illness?

-You don't think so? -What? More like narcissism.

No, think about it carefully.

He might be hiding it from you.

Why else would a healthy person collapse inside an elevator?

"Severe flu from overworking." Haven't you seen the articles?

That's what's weirder.

He barely even comes to work. How can he be overworked?

He never works.

I heard he only has three months.

There was a reason why he started to greet us back.

-He was saying goodbye. -That's ridiculous.

How is this? It's warm.

Is it for the CEO?

He really does have three months left.

Hey! We came here for Mr. Kim, remember?

Because he got you those shoes.

Oh, yes. I'm so forgetful.

Wow. This is so pretty.

I need to get a necktie too.

You'll have to pick that out yourself. I have to go.

Where?

I already told you.

You did?

Oh right. Sorry. Should I go with you?

No, I'll go alone.

Have fun on your date with Mr. Kim.

Have a safe trip.

I wonder why he hasn't been in my dreams lately.

GIL IK-SEON 1958-1997

Of all places, why do I have to see her here?

How disturbing.

How have you been?

Are you mocking me?

I wish I could be fine, but because of you, I can't.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry for asking,

but why did you place flowers there?

Are you happy to see me since we're not at my house?

Mind your own business. Why do you want to know?

I was just wondering if you came here for my dad.

What?

This man, the late Gil Ik-seon,

is my father.

What?

Do you know my dad?

My dad

sacrificed his life to save countless others.

He doesn't deserve to be treated like this by you people.

How...

How can something like this...

How...

I would like to order an accessory for women's handbags,

with this character design.

It's a cat.

What kind of jewelry setting would you like?

All right. Don't be nervous.

One, two, three!

Trust the person holding the rope, and use that power.

One, two, three!

He's good.

I didn't use the power of the person. I used the power of love.

Stand straight.

Hands behind your back. Return to position.

Look, when I was a freshman in college, you were a freshman in junior high.

Why does that matter?

Age doesn't matter when you're standing right before me.

I'll kill you.

-Who was that? -What?

Why, you little...

What did you say?

What doesn't matter?

Stop it. He's just a kid.

A kid?

Have you ever seen a kid that big and dark?

I ought to just...

Ra-im.

Can't you see we're in the middle of a lesson?

You were totally brave just now. It was awesome.

What did he do?

I may not tell anyone,

but actually, I am extremely brave.

What was it?

Are you sure?

You're so dead!

You're laughing?

You dare laugh?

You two planned this!

"Kid"?

What kind of kid are you?

It looks like they're still together.

I should've hit him harder when I had the chance.

You hit him?

You're dead!

Are you good at cooking?

Since my mother wasn't around...

I'm cold.

Stop that.

I'm cold, so bear with it.

Seriously!

I'm hot.

You're hot?

Yes, I'm hot when I'm with you.

Really?

Are you serious?

Why do you get hot when I'm around?

Do you have the same thoughts as I do?

No wonder your hair seems to grow so quickly.

Then how about today, we...

-I'll cook for you. -No, not that.

Take it or leave it.

-Then, tomorrow. -You have a new message.

You have a new message.

Where are you? The CEO's mother is here right now.

What? What is it?

I'm sorry, but I have to go.

I have to shoot an urgent, additional scene.

I'll see you later.

Where are you going?

I should always be the most urgent thing in your life.

Hey, I'll take you! My car is over there.

I thought you'd find out sooner or later.

In case you attack me with it later on,

I'm making the first move.

I don't understand...

The winter that Joo-won turned 21,

he got into an accident.

He only remembers it

as a minor car accident.

Perhaps because of the trauma,

he cannot recall it properly.

One of the firefighters died

while Joo-won was being rescued.

It's why I ran into you

at the columbarium.
