(Episode 1)

The day when my whole family was overjoyed...

was my funeral.

Coming slowly from a faraway place to kill me...

is...

my dear man.

You seem ready,

so I will get your ride ready.

Pretty, am I not?

I was always waiting for the day...

to travel that rosy path...

with my dearest in such beautiful clothes.

But little did I know I was going to get sold off by your hands...

on that day.

You are going to a blessed place.

Do not say you are getting sold off.

Then should I say I am going to my deathbed?

That place does not mean a thing to me.

To me,

it is simply a grave.

The bog laurel.

You told me it was both in this world and the underworld.

I wanted us to be together, alive or dead.

But now that I cannot be with you even in this world,

I will return it to you.

Tonight, the palanquin parade will stop in the mountains near Jeodong.

Hide in the cave.

I will go and get you.

Did you forget where I am going?

If I disappear, both of our families will be slaughtered.

This country will collapse,

and there will be a bloodbath.

Leave the affairs of the country to the government.

Let us only worry about ourselves.

And...

this ring.

I will return it to you at any cost.

Sir Oh Hyun!

Sir Oh Hyun!

Let go!

Seol Hee.

No.

Sir Oh Hyun!

No!

My dearest's morning lost all light...

by the arrows shot at him in place of the sunlight.

Sir Oh Hyun...

No.

Sir Oh Hyun!

With that, his battle ended.

And my battle...

began.

You, who have stolen my dearest's light,

will never again see the light of day.

(Eonju Hospital)

(Han Gye Jeol)

So what happened next?

Isn't it obvious? She died.

That's the end?

What more could there be?

It's unsettling when stories don't end with a happy ending.

Those two killed more than a dozen people.

How could they have a happy ending?

For the deity who loved all creations like their own children,

those two were nothing but sinners.

Then they must've received punishment.

Yes, a severe punishment.

The princess' fate of losing her loved one and taking her life...

kept repeating in this world.

And the warrior became Kokdu tied to the underworld forever.

They could never meet again.

Those were their punishment.

What is it? Do you not like the story?

What is a Kokdu?

Goodness, you're a doctor. How could you not know what that is?

Well, you see.

I only trained in techniques,

so I'm a little weak in liberal arts.

When a person dies,

the path to the underworld opens before them.

But they don't know where to go...

because they've never died before.

That's when Kokdu guides them...

to a nice path, so they don't get lost.

Is he something like the Grim Reaper?

No. How could you compare such an odd being to Kokdu?

There's nothing like that in the underworld.

Only Kokdu exists.

Is Kokdu handsome?

Why do you ask?

If your story is true,

everyone will meet him at least once in the underworld.

So wouldn't it be great...

if he was a looker?

Let's say he's handsome.

Are you going to hit on him and make him your boyfriend?

Oh, my. That's a good idea.

Goodness, you.

Come on.

Whatever he is, a king or a deity, isn't he amazing?

Imagine him as your lover.

You've got yourself a reliable supporter.

What? A supporter?

Where are you going?

Seriously.

- Oh, my. - What's going on?

Right.

You're holding out because you have someone behind you.

Aren't I right, you murderer?

Murderer?

That's going too far.

What?

But you killed my father.

How can you be so shameless?

I clearly told you back then.

I told you he looked fine on the outside,

but his neck bone was broken,

so it was dangerous if it pressed his spinal cord.

I told you to have the surgery here because he must not move.

Even after that, you took him to Seoul.

Look at you.

It's still my fault?

Han Gye Jeol. One season, not four.

I heard you graduated from Yeoni University.

How can I trust someone from such a trashy university,

in a place like this on top of that, to do my dad's surgery?

So I tried to stop you as hard as I could.

I even knelt down and begged. Don't you remember?

I even stopped the ambulance.

You should've tried harder.

You should've stopped by jumping in front of the car.

You should've stopped me by giving up your life!

How can you, a doctor, let a patient go...

when you knew fully well that he was going to die?

Is this what your university taught you?

So you even filed a lawsuit.

I have nothing left to say.

Let's just follow the law.

The law? How dare you?

Let me go.

I said to let me go!

Who are you to act up?

Who's backing you up?

I'm backing myself up!

You struck me with a bottle ten days ago.

Five days ago, you scratched me.

Three days ago, you threw coffee at me.

I have so much evidence on my body...

that I find myself very reliable.

I'm going to gather all the evidence and file a lawsuit as well,

so be prepared!

Forget about a lawsuit.

What lawsuit?

Apologize and be done with it.

I have nothing to apologize for.

There's a reason why she's raising such a ruckus.

She made her dad pass away with her stubbornness...

and she feels anxious about it.

Her siblings might fault her for it,

and she might be at a disadvantage when getting the inheritance.

She needs to get your apology to defend her at least.

I'll set up a meeting with her no matter what,

so kneel and apologize.

You know it becomes medical malpractice...

the moment I apologize, right?

If she continues with the lawsuit,

I will be at fault.

I can't.

Darn it.

(Eonju Hospital)

Dr. Han Gye Jeol.

You know I have a headache...

because of that white elephant, right?

I know.

The construction payment is overdue, so you're concerned.

I know very well.

I even used the money from Pilseong Bio for that.

That's why I treated 2 or 3 patients...

while others treated just one...

and worked day and night to increase our revenue.

You can't find another doctor like this.

Don't let me go.

What's the use?

Ten doctors cannot beat one lord!

"Lord?"

Chief, aren't you a Buddhist?

I made so many lotus lanterns on Buddha's birthday.

Not that lord. The landlord.

That lady is the landlord of that building.

- What? - If I fire you,

she won't say a word even if the payment...

is overdue for several years.

She won't even charge interest.

Then how much is it?

Can I throw away that money...

and hold you tight? Can I?

Why would you get shocked so weakly?

Are you okay?

Is this enough?

Or should I kneel harder?

Dr. Han.

Let me meet the lord.

I'll do my everything to appease her.

Okay.

We need to strike while the iron is hot.

- I'll bring her here right now. - Okay.

- Don't go anywhere and wait here. - Okay.

- Wait. - Yes.

Okay.

(Emergency Medical Center)

Darn it.

(Emergency Medicine Fellow, Han Gye Jeol)

(Emergency Medicine Fellow, Han Gye Jeol)

(On-call Room)

I'm sorry, Dr. Han.

She's very stubborn.

You should've stayed still and got hit.

Why did you use violence?

Chief.

Chief.

I know you feel wronged.

I also know it doesn't make sense.

But this is...

how the world is.

Let's just end it well.

Go easy? That's nice.

I'll sue her for assault...

and report the layoff as illegal.

I'll go easy on myself.

Do whatever you want.

You're pretty brave, right?

But Dr. Han...

Do you know what someone like you with a poor academic background,

and connections must never have?

Bravery?

Wrong.

Enemies.

You can't make enemies. Look.

Succeeding is difficult,

but making you fail is so easy.

Imagine if a rumor spreads,

saying you killed a patient during your fellowship.

Do you think you can work as a doctor?

I'll write...

a good letter of recommendation.

I'm sure there's a hospital that wants you desperately.

Somewhere.

(Emergency Medical Center)

I got slapped, stabbed in the back,

and now I need to get drenched in the rain?

If I were to be shocked, why not from winning the lottery?

Money, connections, or even a deity.

It's only fair to give me one of these!

Who am I talking to?

Mom, save me!

Excuse me.

It's a silly dream.

Why?

Why is it a silly dream?

A dog appeared. So it's a silly dream, obviously.

The subject of this story is the hero, not the dog.

How can you not tell that?

How can you catch a culprit like that?

How can you earn your keep?

Do you live off me because you earn your keep so well?

I'm looking for a job now.

I'll leave soon.

Don't cry from missing me when I do.

I'm about to cry now.

Han Cheol.

Do you like me that much?

Look at yourself.

The only sister I have has gone completely nuts.

How can I not cry?

Are you in elementary school?

Even elementary school kids don't draw like this nowadays.

This? This is a montage.

A montage?

That person looks exactly like this.

Here. Find him.

I can't.

Why can't you find him even with the montage?

Korean cops suck.

Even American cops can't find a person with this.

Then can you check the CCTVs around the area at least?

You can do that much, right?

I'm a public servant.

Not someone to satisfy your personal interest.

You know your salary comes from the taxes that I pay, right?

Then raise that salary.

- It doesn't work. - It doesn't.

Wake up from that ridiculous dream. It'll only bother me.

Here. Look.

Here. Is it still a dream?

This evidence was left in the spot that guy was in.

Is it still a dream?

Is he Snow White or something?

Why does he keep leaving stuff behind?

You mean Cinderella.

What?

The one who leaves behind her glass slipper is Cinderella.

Snow White is the one with the poisoned apple and the witch!

Have you even read more than this many books in your life?

So you'll look down on me like this?

You must not need my help.

I like that independent attitude.

Gosh, you're so strong.

I'll read all the books.

You just find that guy for me.

Put it down. Seriously...

But why do you keep looking for this guy?

Did you fall for him already?

You know,

I called for Mom at the time.

I know it makes no sense,

but I just felt like Mom had sent him to me.

So I want to meet him and ask him...

if he knows Mom.

I can't be sure that I'll find him. You know that, right?

Thanks, brother!

Gosh.

What's that?

My talisman.

I feel like everything will turn out well.

(Job Application, Han Gye Jeol)

Hello. I'm Han Gye Jeol.

I've applied for the emergency medicine fellowship.

I want to work hard to do research...

for the advancement of medicine under great professors.

(Fail)

(Job Application, Han Gye Jeol)

I will do my best.

(Interviewer)

(Fail)

I must be crazy! I'm going to be late!

Oh, my. I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

(Fail)

(Pilseong Medical Center)

It's him.

Do Jin Woo?

What a great name.

Does he not remember me?

Dr. Han Gye Jeol?

Yes, I'm Han Gye Jeol, sir.

Are you applying to be a soldier? Why do you sound so stiff?

Dr. Han, you finished a fellowship at another hospital,

but you applied again.

Yes.

I want to work hard to do research...

for the advancement of medicine under great professors.

Look here.

You have a typo on your resume.

How could you write Yeoni University...

instead of Yeonhee University?

No.

It is Yeoni University.

Yeoni University?

Is there a school by that name?

You know,

the school that made headlines because it was shut down.

Excuse me,

I can hear everything you're saying.

Do you need our name value?

Yes.

I'm here for the name value.

Are you ashamed of your school?

No, I'm a talented doctor,

and I'm grateful that they helped me become who I am today.

Then why is it?

I was recently sued.

An elderly man was in a car accident.

When we took a CT scan, he had a fracture in his C-spine...

so I recommended surgery.

He said that a doctor from a country school...

was trying to rip him off by over-treating him.

His daughter was adamant that they go to a hospital in Seoul.

I tried to persuade them,

but they set off for Seoul,

and he passed away.

So did you feel upset?

Yes.

I felt upset that my credentials did not live up to my talent...

which led to the death of a patient.

If I come here,

there won't be anyone who dies because they can't trust me.

You need our name value to save patients?

People like that always seem to end up killing patients...

while trying to keep that name value.

Are you confident you won't be like that?

So, you're saying...

you were sued, right?

You didn't write that on your application,

- did you? - Pardon?

Gosh.

If he was going to fail me,

he should've just let me fall down the stairs.

Is he taunting me or what?

Oh, right.

I should've given this back.

Should I use this as an excuse and see him once more?

Hello?

This is Professor Do Jin Woo of Pilseong Medical Center.

Professor?

Could we meet right now?

What?

Oh, yes. Of course. I'll be right there.

I look drenched.

I normally look like a country bumpkin,

but today, I look like a chicken that's being stewed.

Hello.

Sorry for asking to meet on short notice.

What did you want to see me about?

Do you have time next week, Dr. Han?

Me?

Well, I...

I am...

I'm fine whenever.

I'll adjust to your schedule.

Why would you adjust to my schedule when you're coming to work?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Come to work?

I'd like for you to start as soon as possible.

But I failed.

I never said that.

You embarrassed me so much. Of course, I thought I had failed.

We embarrassed you on purpose to hire you.

If we didn't do that,

everyone would think we gave you special treatment.

You did that on purpose?

But why would you do that?

You said you needed our name value. Is something wrong?

You need the name value but don't like using connections?

"Using connections?"

Yes.

You're so handsome.

She must've failed.

Give me one, too.

Didn't you befriend our neighborhood's dogs...

after one can of beer?

Hey.

The dogs poop around here to see you. Did you know that?

What nasty dogs.

I'll end our friendship.

Is it because of Pilseong Medical Center?

You know what? Forget about them.

Turn down their offer even if you get one.

But I got an offer.

Should I turn them down?

Are they crazy? Why did they hire you?

Apparently, I got accepted through my connections.

Seriously. If they hired you,

they should've kept quiet about it.

Have you lost it? You shouldn't be happy about it.

We were always pushed to the side.

Tell me. Did anyone other than Mom take our side?

- No. - So even if I did...

get in with connections,

someone has my back, and I feel reassured.

I can survive even if the world is against me.

This must be why people use connections.

But who is that connection?

You don't know anyone.

This man.

He was one of the interviewers.

What? That Cinderella?

He really existed? It wasn't a dream?

He's Do Jin Woo, a professor in the HBP Surgery Department.

I think he's in his mid-30s.

To summarize, the guy who saved you also hired you?

Amazing, right?

This must be what's called fate.

What do I do, Cheol? I might get married.

Yes. It sure is amazing.

How did you get yourself a stalker?

- A stalker? - He kept his eyes on you.

That's stalking, you know?

Gosh. He's interested in me, okay? You're overthinking it.

Look at you all happy.

Wake up, you fool. Stalking is a crime.

We'll know in time whether it's love or a crime.

Your new hospital life won't be easy.

Rumors will circulate, you'll get bullied,

your bad skills will get busted, and that guy will get blamed.

I don't see a happy ending.

Turn their offer down, okay?

Come on.

I doubt I got in with connections.

Such a young professor...

wouldn't have the connections to hire me.

He's just bluffing to look cool.

What a cutie.

Look.

- Jung Won. - Jin Woo.

Why did you come without telling me?

You're back so late.

Are you in charge of the whole hospital?

You must be starving. Let's eat.

- Jung Won. Today, - Yes?

I interviewed people.

Don't tell me...

I hired Dr. Han Gye Jeol.

Did you have to go that far?

You know I had no other choice.

(Job Application, Han Gye Jeol)

(Chairman Kim Pil Soo)

Hello, Professor.

I'll do my best.

Your best? No. You should do well in your job.

- Then I'll do well. - There's no need.

You've got Do Jin Woo for support. What's there to worry about?

What? I was really hired through my connection?

Eonju Hospital?

I've heard of it before.

Yes. It's the hospital Eonju City is supporting.

New buildings are going up,

and great doctors are being scouted.

Oh, right. Ji Soo Yeon.

Dr. Ji Soo Yeon from our hospital transferred to that one.

Yes.

Ji Soo Yeon graduated from Hanguk University.

But why did our hospital hire people like you?

(Critical Care Unit)

Make a good briefing, all right?

Yes, Professor.

Male, 73 years old.

He came in last night complaining of a stomach ache.

After suffering from shivers and vomiting, he lost consciousness.

He was quickly intubated and connected to a ventilator.

He has acute cholecystitis, gallbladder perforation,

and septic shock, so why is he still in the ER?

Well...

The Department of Surgery...

pushed the patient to Internal Medicine...

since they couldn't operate on him because of his septicemia.

But Internal Medicine wants the Department of Surgery...

to take him due to his perforated gallbladder.

That's no reason to neglect him.

Will you take responsibility if he dies?

Dr. Han came today.

She doesn't know the whole situation.

Why are you stepping in? Who told you to?

Weren't you going to try your best and do well?

Whether you persuade or beg either department,

you should do something about this at once.

- Yes, sir. - Should I do it?

This is a matter of the ER.

Please stay out of it, Executive Director.

I was thinking of fixing the ER system...

of pushing the patients onto each other.

First,

we must treat his septicemia.

Let Internal Medicine take him.

So she's your person, is she?

You're annoying in so many ways.

It's Do Jin Woo from the HBP Surgery Department.

Yes. Please transfer the patient from the ER.

"Your person?"

[VIU Ver] MBC E01 'Kokdu: Season of Deity'
"The Season of Kokdu Begins"
-♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

"Your person."

Han Gye Jeol.

It's been a while.

There's a reason people don't see others for a long time.

We're not close enough to eat at the same table, are we?

Quit this hospital at once.

Are you straight out declaring war?

I love how you haven't changed one bit, Tae Jung Won.

This is Pilseong Medical Center, one of the big three in Korea.

It's actually at the top.

A crow shouldn't act like a stork.

Leave before you get kicked out.

Do birds walk? No, they fly.

Why worry about getting kicked out when I can fly?

But those wings aren't Professor Do, are they?

Gosh. Did the rumor about me spread to your workplace,

Pilseong Medical Center in Yeongpo City?

Nice. I don't need to explain it in every detail.

If you get it, mind your own business.

You haven't changed either.

Your delusion...

is pushing yourself into a ditch again.

That's not for you to say.

You pushed me into it.

So I'm trying to give you a hand to get out of there.

Don't think Professor Do is being kind out of goodwill.

Nothing in this world is free.

You'll get sick if you accept anything and everything...

just because you're desperate.

What? So being kind to you is out of goodwill...

but not to me?

And I'm not that desperate.

Thank you for the food.

Should I tell you why Professor Do hired you?

- What? - Dr. Han.

Hey, Jung Won.

Did you interrupt you two?

- No. - Dr. Han's stressed out.

She wants me to cheer her up.

I told you we became friends during a medical service, right?

What? Friends? Do friends...

- do such a thing? - Let's drink. It'll be on me.

- Let's go. - Why would I drink with you?

Dr. Han Gye Jeol.

How about getting some drinks with me?

Me?

That's a great idea. Why don't we all drink together?

No. I have to talk with Dr. Han in private.

In private?

Here. Welcome.

Thank you.

Why did you decide to become a doctor?

Sorry?

That was random, wasn't it?

Oh, no.

I got that question so often in my freshman year.

It's actually quite refreshing, hearing it now.

Well...

Oh, sorry.

You don't have to answer it if you don't want to.

My mother died in a car accident,

and I was there when the accident took place.

Mom!

I couldn't do anything.

If only I had known how to perform CPR,

she wouldn't have died that day.

It really...

wasn't your fault.

I know.

What could a ten-year-old kid have done?

But the helplessness you feel...

when you can't do anything for someone dying before your eyes.

I do not want to feel that again.

Sorry. I shouldn't have asked you such a question.

Oh, it's okay.

Look, I can openly talk about it now.

I guess I don't feel so guilty about my mom anymore.

Well...

Speaking of which...

Yes.

Do you know my mom?

Am I...

supposed to know her?

What was I thinking?

No, right?

My mom didn't send you, right?

Gosh, I...

I must've been out of my mind for a moment.

Oh, here.

This.

Here.

I should return this to you.

What...

is this?

You dropped this when you saved me.

I'm sorry. I should've returned it to you sooner.

Saved you?

Who? Me?

That day, on the stairs.

You saved my life.

It rained a lot that day.

There was a dog that walked by.

A dog?

I hate dogs.

I was bit hard many years ago.

Do you have a twin brother?

No, I don't. No way.

What?

I swear, it was you.

Who was that man, then?

Then did you want to talk to me about something today...

My gosh.

I suppose I've been training my core...

since the spring...

to carry this man on my back.

I'm the one who doesn't have a mother.

Why did he drink so much?

Professor Do.

Professor Do, wake up.

Are we at the right place?

Professor Do.

Please wake up.

What is he,

Cinderella?

He always drops something.

Let's see.

Is this his mother?

How adorable.

He looks just like his mother.

You think I look like her?

Oh, I'm sorry.

I happened to see it as I was picking it up.

Don't worry about it. I'm sorry.

I rarely get drunk like this.

No one gets drunk because they want to.

The stress of the world...

and people make you get drunk.

And love too.

Well, you know. That's how life goes.

She's your mother, right?

Do I resemble her that much?

Yes. Your mother is very beautiful.

I guess.

Sorry?

I was sent to the US for adoption with nothing but this photo.

So...

I don't know whether she was really beautiful or not.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have brought it up.

Don't be sorry.

It's not a big secret anyway.

Besides,

I was going to tell you all about it anyway.

He is...

giving me the green light, right?

Get one for Professor Do too. He needs to sober up.

Hello.

He came to the meeting, reeking of alcohol.

That was ridiculous.

He's turning into a drunkard.

Maybe he was drunk when he performed the surgery on Jang Mi Soon.

Professor.

Don't you think it's odd?

She died during a cholecystectomy, which is a simple procedure.

Perhaps, he made a mistake because he was drunk...

and harassed Ji Soo Yeon about it.

He must've made her life miserable,

given that she ran away and moved to that small rural town.

That's why Jang Mi Soon died!

Hey, what is this?

Darn it!

Goodness.

Professor Do.

Jang Mi Soon...

had a heart attack and died...

while I was performing a cholecystectomy on her.

The official records say...

that she suffered a cardiac arrest due to her weak heart,

but I believe it was caused by high levels of catecholamine.

High levels of catecholamine?

It wasn't a simple cholecystectomy.

She also had malignant pheochromocytomas.

You must've checked her CT scans before her surgery.

How is it possible that you didn't know?

The CT scans I checked were clean.

Not a single cancer cell.

Someone swapped them out.

No way. Who would...

You know Dr. Ji Soo Yeon, don't you?

It seemed odd that she suddenly transferred to a different hospital.

So I visited her a few times,

and she eventually admitted to making a mistake.

She said she'd testify if the patient's family were to sue me.

But then, she suddenly disappeared...

after the chairman attended the ceremony at Eonju Hospital.

Why are you telling me all this?

I have nothing to do with it.

I should get going.

What did the chairman and Dr. Ji talk about?

How would I know?

You heard them talk.

Darn it!

Hey, Han Gye Jeol!

A lawsuit? As if!

Gosh, it hurts.

Hey, how dare you say such a thing?

Fine, let's see who wins!

Do you seriously think you'll win?

I will teach you a lesson! You little...

My gosh!

What did they talk about?

Did he threaten her not to tell anyone about the CT scans...

as it'd ruin the hospital's reputation?

I don't know. I didn't hear anything.

You definitely heard something,

or you wouldn't have reacted like that.

Let's say I saw something.

Is that why you hired me?

- Because I'm a witness? - That's right.

So you want me to report Dr. Ji in return for hiring me?

Gosh, you're so selfish.

"I did nothing wrong. It was all Ji Soo Yeon's fault."

You want to do whatever it takes to clear your name.

You don't care what happens to Dr. Ji...

or how this makes me feel. You do not care at all.

Dr. Han, I just want to uncover the truth.

The truth?

You sound like a spoiled brat.

Professor Do. Do you know what people like me...

with no connections cannot afford to have?

Enemies.

All my life, I've been very careful...

not to make an enemy out of anyone.

But what? You want me to stab my fellow doctor in the back?

I can't.

I need to survive in this industry.

I'll take care of you, no matter what.

Take care of me? How?

Dr. Ji isn't the problem here.

You can find doctors from Pilseong Medical Center...

in any hospital or anywhere in the country.

If the chairman has it out for me, I can't work as a doctor again.

Why not just...

You should've just told me the truth from the get-go.

"Testify for me. I will compensate you."

Then I wouldn't have gotten the wrong idea,

and none of this would've happened.

You used my feelings.

How petty.

I clearly told you that you got the job because I knew you.

I would've told you the truth had you asked me why you were hired.

If you didn't think it'd come with a price,

then you're at fault too.

I thought it was just a kind gesture.

I was mistaken.

Was there a reason you mistakenly thought so?

The reason...

Forget it.

The reason never made sense anyway.

Hey.

How much of our conversation did you hear?

Dr. Tae already knows everything.

Don't worry about her.

Don't think Professor Do is being kind out of goodwill.

Nothing in this world is free.

You'll get sick if you accept anything and everything...

just because you're desperate.

You said that because you knew everything?

This must be what's called fate.

What do I do, Cheol? I might get married.

How embarrassing.

After all, who'd fall for someone like me?

Did I mishear it?

It looks like he heard something, right?

Yes.

He'll be heading to the underworld soon,

so I suppose he can hear things that ordinary humans can't hear.

Are you sure it's him?

Can't you tell?

Look at his eyes, nose, and mouth. He looks just like Sir Kokdu.

Can he not come back this time?

Dream on.

It's sweltering hot even at this late hour.

The season of Kokdu is about to begin.

Call me if anything happens.

Dr. Han.

Dr. Han, you see...

Let me relax while I eat at least, will you?

Dr. Han.

I have something to show you.

Professor Do.

I'll stay at this hospital no matter what.

Don't waste your energy.

It'll only take a moment.

Professor Do, what are you doing?

- Come with me. - I won't change my mind.

Let go. People are watching...

Let go of me!

(Do Jin Woo, Date of Birth June 17, 1988)

(Health Condition: Good)

Jang Mi Soon is my mother.

I am her son. If only I knew her face...

Why...

Why didn't you tell me this right off the bat?

Then I wouldn't have said the things I said.

I was afraid.

I felt like the moment I say it,

I'd be admitting to killing my own mother,

so I was scared.

I wanted to get back at her.

I wanted to show her that the child she had abandoned...

grew up so well because I wanted to see her regret her decision.

But you see,

I did not want to get back at her in this manner.

It wasn't your fault.

If she never met me, she'd be healthy and alive now.

No, that's not true.

These thoughts have been driving me nuts.

So I hoped to prove that it wasn't my fault.

That's why I've been so obsessed with Dr. Ji.

It's not your fault. Kim Pil Soo is to blame.

What?

Should I go ahead...

and tell everyone what you did?

What are you talking about?

You told me to swap out the CT scans.

That's why Jang Mi Soon died!

Professor Do.

Professor Do.

My gosh.

I'm going to report myself.

- Sorry? - I'll admit that...

the CT scans were swapped, causing her death.

Then you could face legal punishment too.

I must put my everything on the line to start this fight.

I have to take Kim Pil Soo to court...

in order to find out why my mother had to die like that.

And to do that...

I really need you to testify for me.

But I...

I don't want to let my mother go...

without trying anything.

I'm not brave enough to do that.

Dr. Han.

That ring.

Please give it back now.

You said it wasn't yours.

You said you never saved me.

I didn't want to make you feel indebted over something like that.

And do you think it would be better to make me feel indebted now?

Is that why you're telling me the truth?

Crazy jerk.

What should I do?

I'm sorry. Take this.

I must've been crazy for a bit.

It's only natural. It's about your mom.

I know how desperate you must be feeling.

I know that better than anyone.

But I just couldn't muster up the courage.

It wasn't me. Why won't you listen?

Just...

Just be my savior.

Then I'll be able to say later on,

"He saved my life, so I couldn't help it."

There won't be anything to regret on your end.

I will take responsibility, no matter what.

I won't leave you to regret things on your own.

Let's talk about this ring...

once everything is sorted out.

I'll hold onto it until then.

Thank you, Dr. Han.

I discovered that while taking care of Jang Mi Soon's affairs.

Adoption papers?

Jang Mi Soon is...

Do Jin Woo's birth mother?

Yes, sir.

I was wondering why he kept digging when I covered it for him.

He'll probably take this to the end.

Joong Sik.

You should go fishing.

I'm heading to the courthouse now.

What time will you arrive?

Did I leave the house too early?

I'll go and wait.

The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed to voicemail.

Sir, I'm getting off here.

Gosh, it's hot today.

I think it was around here somewhere.

Why won't he pick up the phone?

The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed...

(Professor Do Jin Woo)

Is it snowing?

In the middle of summer?

Professor Do...

Professor Do!

Dr. Han.

Don't move!

Someone fell.

This is...

Parktree Apartments.

Please come quickly.

Dr. Han.

Help me.

I told you not to move.

I...

I'm...

sorry.

Professor.

Professor?

Professor.

Professor.

I'll save you.

I can save you.

I'll save you.

I'll save you this time.

No.

No.

No.

Don't die in front of me!

Professor.

Let's see.

Professor.

Professor...

Thank you.

Thank you for being alive.

Professor?

Oksin, Gaksin.

I'm sure...

I said that I would kill...

the first human that I saw!

Professor...

Why are you doing this, Professor?

Oh, no. What do we do?

He might actually kill her.

Why are you doing this?

It's your fault. If only you had hurried up.

Is this the time to blame each other?

We need to save ourselves first. Just run.

Professor.

Oksin, you punk. You dare to run away?

Goodness.

Goldie.

Gosh.

- Oh, gosh. - You fool.

Did you really think you could outrun me?

Wait.

Sir Kokdu!

Please, hear me out.

Please. Just hear me out.

Do you think I ran away just to save myself?

I was trying to save her.

I was trying to save that girl.

Sir Kokdu. Don't even bother to listen to him.

Just start by beating him up.

Stop.

Do you know what kind of world this is?

Things are different from how it was 99 years ago.

Do you know what security cameras are?

Security cameras.

They're all over the place.

You can't just kill someone out in the open like that.

You should've just said so. Why did you run away?

Is he the type of guy to listen to what I say?

He ignored the Almighty himself.

Would he listen to me?

Why, you little...

He only came after me in fury because I ran away.

If I hadn't, that girl would be dead.

Just like that, I saved a life.

I heard what you had to say.

But...

how long do you think I'll keep standing here?

When will you two greet me properly?

One, two, three.

Oksin, the deity of greed, greets Sir Kokdu.

You are back after 99 years.

Welcome back.

Gaksin, the deity of gossip, greets Sir Kokdu.

I will serve you with all my heart for 99 days.

Unbelievable. I had to ask you to greet me.

You say you'll serve me with all your heart?

- Then what's with this ugly car? - What?

No! That's 24k pure gold!

How dare you kick Goldie?

You're here to be punished after all.

Don't be so picky. Darn it.

What's your problem?

Sir Kokdu.

(Seoul Yeongdong Expressway)

Here, please let me.

My gosh.

I've told you time and time again.

Getting shot by a Japanese soldier the moment I open my eyes.

Darn it.

Or being beheaded by a headsman.

I told you to prevent such things at all costs.

I told you several times that I wanted to wake up...

in the comfort of my own home this time.

But once again, you couldn't make it happen!

Did you have to do this to me again?

We apologize, sir.

Look at you two flat out ignoring me.

You've known me for eons, so you're too comfortable with me.

Goodness. Talk about a lame joke.

Just the fact that we're in the same space now...

makes me feel queasy and light-headed.

What?

Hey, let me show you what it really feels like to be light-headed.

- Gosh, Sir Kokdu! - No!

I told you to keep your mouth shut.

(Dr. Han)

The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed to voicemail.

Excuse me, coming through!

It's the perfect night to kill someone.

(Kokdu: Season of Deity)

Why did you run away? Why?

I cannot stand you.

So do not cling to me again.

Apologize to me on your knees!

Me obeying Han Gye Jeol?

Do you know about this ring?

Of course, I do.

Finally, I met the woman who can help me lift the curse.

How can you be so sure that Han Gye Jeol is that woman?

She moved my heart.

The memories may be gone, but the feelings remain.

I will protect you.

Then let's properly greet each other.

Nice to meet you, Kokdu.
