What about this?

Are you sure he'll propose to you today?

I have no idea! I won't know until I see him.

You said you caught the bride's bouquet at his employee's wedding.

What about this one?

You mentioned he said...

you'd just have to get married within six months.

- But are you sure? - This?

And he said he had something important to tell you today.

Yes! What about this one?

Hey! You little... Don't you dare act coy in front of me.

Enough. Hurry up and get changed into this.

Just put on this outfit and don't come home tonight, okay?

You're not allowed to come home tonight.

You can brag about the ring tomorrow,

so don't even call me. Got it?

Hey, which one is better?

The one on the right. Get ready quickly and go!

Hey, wait!

Cha Woong.

What are you thinking about? You seem lost in thought.

Come on. You don't have to try to look all serious and cool.

I came prepared.

I mean, I have no idea what you're going to say,

but I'm ready to listen with an open heart.

Seul Hae.

Yes.

Let's...

break up.

That was a joke, right?

You totally caught me off guard. What do we do about this?

No, I'm serious.

I want to break up with you.

Why?

What's your reason?

Isn't the reason obvious?

I no longer feel the same way about you.

Do not contact me again.

Cha Woong, wait!

Just tell me where he is. Please?

I don't know.

I've heard nothing from him...

for a week since he said he wanted to end things.

He hasn't even been home yet. It's so unlike him...

I'm sure he had his reasons.

Just give him some time.

In order for a spirit to come upon you,

your mind has to be a blank slate.

Let go of all your worldly desires and greed.

You must not let your fleeting thoughts distract you.

Can you do it?

I'll try.

No, I will do it.

Oh, my.

The air here is much cleaner than what we're used to in the city.

Are you all right?

Yes.

We must catch the evil spirit before the next full moon.

But did you have to do that to Officer Ko?

She must be heartbroken without even knowing what's going on.

If she finds out,

she'll try to catch him herself and end up getting hurt.

It's not like she'll listen to me if I tell her to hide and do nothing.

That's true. She's certainly not the type to sit back and do nothing.

If the two of us join forces,

we can track down the evil spirit and get rid of him quickly.

I'll take care of this quickly and tell her everything later.

If I can stay alive...

and tell her everything, that is.

Darn it!

It was quiet for a while, but violent cases are happening again.

Should we really consult a shaman or something?

Why, because of the murder of the elderly lady at Kangguk-ro 2-Ga?

Yes, it's such a headache. We've got no leads.

Who are you?

Such insolence! I asked you to identify yourself.

But I can't stop thinking that it's a copycat murder.

I was thinking that too.

The victim was left in the same state...

as the Full Moon Murder victims.

- Yes. - The Full Moon Murder?

That's right. And it was the 15th according to the lunar calendar.

Darn it. Who is this lunatic that is copying the Full Moon Murderer?

The 15th according to the lunar calendar?

Officer Ko.

But we have already sealed the evil spirit.

That wasn't the evil spirit.

It was the soul of the human possessed by the evil spirit.

Then Cha Woong fell off the face of the earth because...

To catch the evil spirit, Cha Woong...

decided to accept his fate as a shaman.

Then he should've told me everything.

Once he becomes a shaman, his life as an ordinary man is over.

He probably couldn't tell you because he felt bad.

But you seemed so devastated, so I came here to tell you.

I'll tell you where he is now.

Thank you.

He will accept his Worshipping Spirit to get rid of me?

I won't let that happen.

Hey, Ye Ji!

It's been a while.

- Oh, hello. - Hi, long time no see.

Are things not going well between you and Officer Lee?

Why do you ask?

Yong Ryul is so quiet these days.

He just stares at his phone and sighs all day,

as if he's lost the will to live.

Really?

What? Where are you going?

Cha Woong.

Seul Hae.

What are you doing here?

Leave.

I have nothing to say to you.

Ye Ji told me everything.

Did you think I wouldn't be able to understand your decision?

No, it's not that. I knew you'd understand...

and that you'd rush here like this.

That's why I wanted to keep you in the dark.

This path I've chosen is a lot harder...

and more dangerous than you think.

How hard could it be?

Will it cost you your life?

Will it kill you?

- That's not the case, so why... - It could kill me.

- So let me do this alone... - If you die, then what?

Am I to say... "Of course."

"We're no longer a couple,"

"so why would I care whether he dies or not?"

Am I to simply shrug it off and move on?

If you think about it,

I may have been the root of your problems.

You've suffered enough.

All I wish is for you to have an easier life...

without me in it.

Stop that!

How stupid can you be?

How could I possibly have it easy?

I've been missing you like crazy,

and the thought of you being hurt had me worried.

How could you do this to me?

Can't you see that I love you?

In no way...

would I let you die.

But if it somehow happens, I will be by your side.

That is my definition of love.

Understood?

Hee Soo.

Did you follow me here?

You choose to be with a shaman?

Your father would be thrilled.

Actually, he would be.

He would want me...

to be with the man I choose and trust.

Get out of my way.

My patience has run out.

Now, choose.

Either be mine...

or die at my hands.

Since when?

Let Hee Soo free.

Do you believe that a gun could stop me?

You brought this on yourself.

Foolish girl.

No!

Imagine how I'd feel if you ever got hurt.

Don't forget that your father...

appointed me as your designated bodyguard.

Never have I broken a promise I made to you.

No...

No.

Leave Seul Hae alone.

Resisting will do you no good.

For your body is now mine to command.

Hee Soo, is that you?

- It's you, isn't it? - No!

Seul Hae, get away from me. Right now.

Hee Soo.

Please...

No!

(Ward 35)

My goodness.

Hee Soo. My boy.

- Nurse. - Yes?

Where can I find Seo Hee Soo?

Hee Soo!

My gosh, Hee Soo!

Why on earth did this happen to you?

Father.

Yes, it's me. Have you come to?

Everything you have done so far...

It was all for my sake, wasn't it?

Yes, of course. Who else could it all have been for?

Thank you.

(Room 501: Ko Seul Hae)

Have you come to?

Where...

You're at the hospital.

You have a few bruises and a mild concussion.

A few days of rest will get you back on your feet...

which is a relief.

Don't get up. You should lie back down.

The evil spirit...

has possessed Hee Soo.

What?

It tried to harm me...

when Hee Soo's mind stopped it from doing so.

That's why Hee Soo jumped in front of the truck.

Nothing. He is not possessed.

Now that he is incapacitated,

the evil spirit must have jumped into another body.

Evil spirits make their way into a body through blood.

We're at a hospital,

so it wouldn't be hard to find someone who's bleeding.

What do we do?

Cha Woong must merge with the general at once.

It is time.

Madam Shaman Na will have everything prepared for us.

Master Spirit.

Cha Woong has decided to live out his fate.

So that he can safely protect our world,

please watch over him.

You.

That's right.

It's me.

Seul Hae,

why were we both in a car accident?

Don't you remember anything?

It's odd.

It's as if smoke has clouded my memories.

I don't recall my actions during the past few weeks.

It also seems like...

I did something I shouldn't have.

No, you did nothing bad.

And your memories... The doctor said that...

accidents can cause short-term memory loss.

You'll be fine, so don't worry.

Granny Geum Ok.

Granny Geum Ok!

It was him.

Don't move!

Cha Cha Woong?

Drop the knife and raise your hands!

Right.

Cha Cha Woong, you are under arrest for suspicion of murder.

What?

You have the right to an attorney,

and the right to remain silent.

Get up.

Yes, we arrested the offender at the scene of the crime.

We'll soon be back at the station.

You. Get in.

He killed Madam Shaman Na to stop me from possessing you.

Leave the police to me and head to your old family home.

I'll figure out a way and follow you there.

- Now? - What do you mean?

What?

What the... Get him!

Get back here! What is wrong with this?

Why won't this budge? Cut the belt!

- Darn it. - Go after him!

What? You lost him?

You idiots!

Cut off his escape routes...

and put out an APB.

You have my permission to shoot him on the spot if he resists arrest.

You got that?

Assemblyman Jung? I have a favour to ask of you.

Could you call your contacts in the media? Yes.

We have breaking news. The police have issued an APB...

on magician Cha Cha Woong.

He is suspected of brutally murdering Na, his neighbour,

- and is on the run at the moment. - Grandma!

The police believe that he couldn't have gone too far yet,

so they've sent out a team of detectives to Kangguk district...

to track him down.

Hello.

- Fill it up, please. - Sure thing.

(Cha Cha Woong Wanted for Murder of Neighbour)

Yes, it is Cha Cha Woong.

Grandma.

Wait, please. Just a moment.

Grandma!

No, Grandma...

My grandma... My grandma passed away.

Grandma...

(Emergency Center, Authorized Personnel Only)

Seul Hae.

Adviser Choi.

What is going on? It was the evil spirit, wasn't it?

I think it was a trap.

Where is Cha Woong?

I sent him home for the time being.

- I'll check in on him. - Don't.

Everyone must be keeping a close watch on you,

knowing you two are close.

Making a reckless move will only reveal his location to them.

Darn it.

- Yes. - Thank you. Have a good day.

Block all roads that lead to Suchang-Ri and set up checkpoints.

- And request backup. - Yes, sir.

He couldn't have gone far as he's running out of gas.

I'll head over to the village.

Search downtown with the backup team.

Darn it. Where is he?

What? That's...

Get out, Cha Cha Woong!

Cha Cha Woong.

She was such an admirable shaman.

The ritual for Cha Woong and I...

Would you be able to do it?

But I am still a novice shaman. How could I...

You won't be doing it alone.

Madam Shaman Na will be...

right by your side.

I'll do it.

For my grandmother's sake, I want you...

to catch that evil spirit at all costs.

Hey, Yong Ryul.

What are you staring at so intently?

Shouldn't you go check in on Ye Ji?

You should. Just hand over what you need to finish off and get going.

The thing is, there's something odd about Ye Ji's grandmother's case.

What? What's odd?

The call we received was made...

from a pay phone near Okhwa House.

But this person had his car parked here for over three hours.

Watch.

You're right.

It almost looks as though he was waiting here...

and called it in as soon as he saw Cha Cha Woong entering the building.

As if he was waiting for his prey to fall into the trap he had set up.

Yes, you're right. It does seem fishy.

Run the plate and find out who owns the car.

I'll ask around...

to see if we can obtain his call logs and bank records.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Hey, what are you doing?

He doesn't seem drunk.

Let's just go.

It looks like you have it all together. Are you homeless?

He probably is.

Sorry. Could I get a ride?

Why are you staring at my face?

You look so much like someone I know.

There's someone who is as handsome as I am?

I find that hard to believe.

Do you happen to know Mr. Nam Sang Gun?

- Nam... Who? - Nam Sang Gun.

I don't know who that is.

I'm Ko Seok Yong. I'm 61, still single.

He's my brother.

I'm Ko Kyu Pil, age 65. I'm single too.

Anyway, why were you standing like that earlier?

Are you feeling sick?

Oh, no.

I walked all day but haven't eaten anything, so I'm just exhausted.

My goodness. Do you want to come to our place for some food?

May I?

For sure. Lunch must be ready now. Our sister must be waiting.

We'll just have her put an extra spoon on the table for you.

- Let's go, brother. - Hold tight!

Let's go!

Why are you tired when you have done nothing?

My legs hurt so much.

You brats! Must I carry this at this old age?

- I got it. - I worked all day.

My legs are killing me.

That hurts!

You're such a crybaby because I coddled you all your life.

You pig! It's rude to start eating before your guest does!

Even dogs should not be bothered when they're eating!

What are you waiting for? Eat! Dig in!

Thank you for the food.

Here.

Hand-torn aged kimchi tastes the best.

Try it.

It's good. You should eat too, Granny.

"Granny"? How dare you!

I'm Ko Seo Yeon. I'm 72, still single.

Are you single too?

I'm not married.

Is that so?

How do you feel about dating an older woman?

You should go out with her. She's cool.

- Sorry? - What?

- Eat up. - Thank you.

- Stay still. - Why did you eat so fast?

- That needle... - Stay still.

- This is very dangerous. - Stay put.

I have to be very careful with this. It's very dangerous.

Hey, relax!

- Hey, stay still. - Don't move!

- Ouch! - Hey! Just do it!

You're making it worse.

- What's that? - What?

What? I only see red blood coming out. It's supposed to be dark.

- What? - Give me the other hand.

You fool! You can't get it right in one go? Give me that.

- Goodness. - Calm down. You can't do it.

You could barely see, so you pricked Kyu Pil all over.

He nearly died because his blood vessels burst.

- My goodness. - Oh, dear.

Wait, no!

I'm okay. It's all gone down now.

Yes, it's all gone down.

- Are you all right? - Yes, it's all gone down.

But you still look pale.

Why don't you take a nap? Do you want to lie down?

- Sorry? - Yes, you should!

It's getting late. You should sleep here tonight.

- Yes, you should. - Sleep here!

- Yes. - Go on in.

You jerks.

I packed you rice balls and some water.

Don't go around on an empty stomach.

Thank you.

I owe you a great deal for yesterday.

I'll be back to express my gratitude.

Yes, of course.

And nothing says "thank you" more than Korean beef.

Absolutely.

Stay healthy, young man.

The last thing you want is to collapse and faint.

Only looking healthy won't do you any good.

Yes, of course.

I won't forget your generosity.

Sure.

Get going, then. Have a good one.

Did you pack enough rice balls for him?

I did.

I hope he'll be all right.

He has to be.

Grandpa,

my running away only brought you pain...

and that I regretted.

I'm sorry.

Cha Woong, are you in here?

My gosh. You startled me.

- Gosh. - Unbelievable.

Does anyone have any spare socks?

I can't keep walking around in mine.

Have we received any tips on his whereabouts?

I'm afraid not.

Darn it.

Evil spirits make their way into a body through blood.

We're at a hospital,

so it wouldn't be hard to find someone who's bleeding.

Detective Byun,

did you visit Captain Seo at the hospital?

Yes, right after Chief Seo informed me.

When did you hurt the back of your hand?

What, this?

I scratched it while out on a search last night.

Why?

It's nothing.

- Chief! - Chief!

When will you people screw your heads back on?

You let him get away at the scene...

and then lost track of him again.

You call this police work?

- We're sorry, sir. - We're sorry, sir.

Ko Seul Hae, why are you still here?

She wished to come back to work...

which I allowed.

You moron.

A police officer with personal ties to the suspect...

shouldn't be on the case.

- Get her out of here! - Yes, sir.

Get out.

You're off this case. Get out!

Get out this instant!

Darn it.

The gas station where Cha Cha Woong was spotted...

is near his childhood home.

What? Is that true?

He could be hiding there, so get over there this instant!

Yes, sir. Guys, let's go.

The phone is turned off. You will be redirected to voicemail.

Please leave a message after the tone.

(Kangguk Police Department)

Ye Ji, leave the house immediately.

The police will be there any second. Also...

The evil spirit...

What?

Were you going to say that it's right beside you?

Grandma, I ask for your guidance.

It's over. Are you all right?

I think I am.

Thank you.

You did well.

Seul Hae.

Seul Hae's in trouble.

All that you are is a feeble human.

Isn't it about time you acknowledged the truth?

This is not a battle you can win.

I may be powerless,

but at least I'm a living being.

Meanwhile,

you are the remnant of a past life that is neither dead nor alive.

The remnant of a past life?

Poong Baek is the one who made me this way!

How can you care more about him when I have loved you...

for 2,000 years?

Love, my foot.

All that you are displaying is a deranged obsession.

Haven't you learned anything for the past 2,000 years?

How could you when you have never loved...

or been loved?

That's right. That is who I am.

I take what I desire...

and eliminate those who get in my way.

I will possess your body, take control of your memories,

and seize the seven-star channel within you.

This is how I will make you mine.

No. You can't.

No...

Seul Hae.

Haechunmoo.

Astounding. I did not expect this much power.

Why? Can't you bring yourself to kill her?

Drop the sword.

Or this woman will die.

Haechunmoo, I admit defeat.

Take me instead.

What are you playing at?

Cha Woong, what are you doing?

The evil spirit will push me out.

I will not be able to protect you!

We can't let him be in control of Seul Hae.

Isn't Seul Hae's love what you desire?

Possess me, erase my memories,

and be reborn as Cha Cha Woong.

That will earn you Seul Hae's love and trust.

It wouldn't be so bad...

to trap your soul and endlessly hear you scream in agony.

Promise me one thing though.

That you would never hurt Seul Hae.

- Cha Woong. - This is our window.

Drive the sword through me.

What? What are you talking about?

Did you make this deal...

to trap the evil spirit within you?

Hurry.

I can't hold on any longer.

I can't.

You will not survive this attack.

This is our last chance.

Enough with the shenanigans.

You are mine.

We don't have much time.

If you don't end this,

I will never forgive you for the choice you made.

Cha Woong...

Now. Do it!

You have finally...

atoned for your sin.

I,

once again,

failed to protect you.

I'm sorry.

No, General Choi.

You have done enough.

Please lay down your burden...

and rest in peace.

My Lord up above.

I am the princess of this country.

However, if I fail to protect my people...

and the man I love,

being a princess...

will be pointless.

It is why...

I choose to risk my life tomorrow.

If my actions can clear Master Poong Baek's name,

you are to gladly take my life.

And in my next life,

allow me to serve the people as one of them...

and let me cherish...

the man I love...

with all my heart.

Seul Hae?

You... Are you Master Poong Baek?

Princess Chun Hwa?

You must be the reincarnation of Master Poong Baek.

How are you here though?

This sacred mirror...

and the skies...

must have sent me here...

to seek forgiveness.

Seek forgiveness?

But you have not wronged me in any way.

Tomorrow,

I will fail to protect you.

I'm sorry.

I'm truly sorry.

What about Master Poong Baek?

What will happen to you?

And in our next life? Do we meet again?

I was able to atone for my sins...

and sacrifice my life to save yours...

for which I am glad.

Now,

since I have fulfilled my destiny,

I am to leave.

Us meeting again...

proves that my prayers were answered.

That is why...

you weren't reborn to atone for your sins.

It was to love.

You were reborn to love with all your heart.

That is what I prayed for.

My life as I know it will end tomorrow,

but you have come to me today...

to tell me that my choice is worth it.

Then,

even though you were aware of your fate...

Now, go.

Head back to your life...

and hold the one you love...

tightly in your arms.

For that will also be me.

I love you, Master Poong Baek.

Please do not grieve too much.

Because one day,

we will cross paths again.

No matter...

when and how we meet again,

I will love her.

That's how partnerships work.

Okay?

When she smiles,

my heart will skip a beat...

without knowing why.

And eventually, I will realize.

Realize...

she's my destiny.

The reason for my life.

Cha Woong?

No!

No!

This can't be!

No.

(Trustworthy Police, Safe Country)

In the first trial of former police chief Seo Chang Ho,

prosecutors demanded life imprisonment for the accused.

Is that our chief?

- Darn it. - What will happen now?

Hey, what about your captain?

Gosh, who knows?

Detective Byun, do you have a blind date or something?

I hear the new chief...

likes smart workers.

What do you think? Do I look good?

Furthermore, the former police chief...

had a long bond with the head of a gang group.

However, when they had fallen out, he murdered the leader...

- by disguising it as a suicide. - What a scumbag.

Yong Ryul did an amazing job.

He wiped out Korea's worst pieces of trash.

- The power of love is unbelievable. - Right?

With that said, have the last dumpling.

- Here. - No, you have it.

- No, you have it. - No, you.

- No, you. - Stop it.

- Eat it. - No, I'm fine.

You deserve it.

Hee Soo.

Seul Hae.

Gosh.

How are you feeling?

I'll be discharged next week.

That's great.

You should come back to work.

But not right away. With what's going on with my dad.

I'm sorry.

I am ashamed to face you.

What happened to him is a bummer,

but everyone knows what a great police officer you are.

Come back as soon as you pull yourself together.

I'll fill in for your empty spot until then.

Thank you.

For working hard on my grandma's case.

I'm a police officer.

I did what I should.

And it has to do with your grandma.

I can't possibly sit still.

I don't know how to repay you.

Did you eat?

Then can you cook me a meal?

A meal?

Yes.

That should be enough as repayment.

Please sit here and wait a while.

I'll whip it up in no time.

Okay. Thanks.

What? Mom!

What brings you here?

What about you?

Well, I...

Ma'am.

Please don't get the wrong idea.

I called him over to thank him.

We're not seeing each other again. I swear.

Go ahead.

What?

You and Yong Ryul. Get back together.

Mom, are you serious?

That guy was suffering from a broken heart.

But he threw himself into your grandmother's case.

I realized how serious you two were.

I came by multiple times to tell you and today's finally the day I do.

I'm really sorry about that day.

It's okay.

You had it rough, didn't you?

You've grown thin.

I brought beef bone soup. Let's dig in, okay?

Go get a spoon and chopsticks for Ye Ji.

Okay.

Sit.

Oh, dear.

(Cha Cha Woong and Ko Seul Hae's Wedding)

It's just around the corner now.

By the way, who are we going to meet?

My life saviours.

They fed me and gave me shelter when I was chased around.

What grateful people.

But you don't know their numbers?

I was not in the right mind to ask.

But I want them to come to our wedding.

You'll be surprised when you meet them.

And happy too.

Excuse me, are you home?

I'm here.

Mr. Ko Kyu Pil?

Mr. Ko Seok Yong?

Is this the right place? The house looks empty.

That's strange. I'm sure this is the place.

Who are you two?

I came to meet the elders living here.

Did they move?

I'm the head of this village.

And nobody lives in this house.

What? That can't be.

Three siblings live here. Two elderly men and an elderly woman.

I had meals together and even slept with them.

That's absurd.

The water supply and electricity were cut off ten years ago.

Strange.

I'm sure I...

I wonder if you were possessed by a ghost.

A ghost?

Geez.

Oh, my! The Great Jade Emperor.

Right.

- Choi Geom? - Yes.

Are you the sinner who betrayed your master and your friend...

in your lifetime and caused them to die?

Yes, I am.

Let's have a look.

Right.

You've been through a lot in this world, haven't you?

Yes.

My gosh! And you even caught an evil spirit?

I did.

Great job.

Excellent.

Right?

So am I finally going to paradise?

Paradise?

Let's see.

What?

Here you go.

What? Come on. Geez.

This is a bit...

Is there a problem?

I will make a verdict.

Yes, Your Highness.

While living in this world for 2000 years,

you have saved numerous people.

The virtue you've accumulated so far...

is enough to liquidate all the karma of your previous life.

Yes, Your Highness.

However!

However?

Sponging off...

and exploiting unfair labour to the Cha family...

by impersonating the General Spirit after that has gotten you new karma.

Impersonating? Sponging off?

Do you know what I went through?

You little... Listen until the end!

He's flipping me out.

You!

- You punk! - Emperor!

- Please calm down. - I can knock you out!

- Please calm down. - I'm going nuts!

He made me lose it.

I'm going to make the verdict, okay? Goodness.

Didn't I tell you not to book 100 cases per month?

You're dead meat today. He's driving me mad.

Gosh.

I will make... You little!

All right.

I will make the verdict.

You are to go to the human world again...

and happily retribute for your deeds to the Cha family.

With that, you can enter Nirvana. Understood?

Excuse me?

What?

It wasn't for two years.

I worked my buttocks off for 2000 years.

But again?

(5 years later)

Hey.

Did you see that? Did you?

People went wild.

You're nowhere near where I stand.

Of course.

I'm just honoured to stand on the same stage as you.

You've grown a lot.

It only felt like yesterday when you suddenly barged in and asked me...

to teach you starting from the basics.

How many original repertoires have you made already?

It's all thanks to your guidance.

Let's go, Cha Woong.

Okay.

The collaboration stage is right after his, right?

My silhouette will hug the light...

and then change over to a shadow in ten seconds.

So get changed and stand behind the screen in ten.

Ten seconds.

Sang Hee, let's reduce the time by two seconds.

And what makes that different?

- The class. - Correct.

Hyung Kyu.

Aren't you too thin for my stand-in?

Fried chicken is on me after the show.

Awesome.

But why... Did you hurt your back?

A bit, but I'm fine.

Fine? No way. Your body is your life.

- Ask Ji Soo to replace you, got it? - Okay.

Listen to me. My words are the law.

Just do as we practiced.

It doesn't have to be perfect.

Let's do our best without any regrets. Okay?

- One, two, three. Let's go! - Let's go!

Hey, you filthy roaches!

I'm here to exterminate you all.

Come here!

- Let go! Darn it. - Stop resisting.

- Let go of me! - I got it, okay?

- Let go! - Hurry.

Great job, Detective Lee.

Thanks, Detective Ko. As expected of you.

Didn't you take the day off today for something at home?

I forgot! My bad. I'm leaving first.

- Bye. - Bye!

Is your concert over?

Yes, I'm off work now. Don't be late, honey!

What time are the kids coming? What should I do?

We still have 30 minutes left.

- The balloons and banner. Hurry! - Got it.

- Happy birthday to you! - Happy birthday to you!

- Happy birthday to you! - Happy birthday to you!

- Happy birthday dear Cha Ma Ru! - Happy birthday dear Cha Ma Ru!

- Happy birthday to you! - Happy birthday to you!

Thank you for wishing Ma Ru a happy birthday.

Dig in, okay?

Do you have any pyeonyuk or ribs?

I like meat.

Hey, what you're having right now is also meat.

It's still a party. Ribs are a must.

I'm sorry. I'll prepare it next time.

By the way, do you have any street food?

I like tteokbokki.

Tteokbokki?

I'll make some right away. Can you wait a bit?

Mr. Cha, just leave it.

Guys, they're giving us snacks...

and providing this space for free.

Let's not cause too much trouble, okay?

Just eat whatever you're given.

I'm sorry. Is there anything I can help with?

No, it's okay. Just dig in.

Guys, a magic show is waiting after you eat all this.

You all know I'm a famous magician, right?

Dad, can't we just play by ourselves?

We watch your magic every day.

Okay then.

Guys, let's play detective later.

I'm going to be a violent crimes detective.

I'm going to be a crime scene investigator.

I'm going to be a motorcycle policeman.

That means I'm the criminal again.

You're it!

You're the criminal!

Try to catch me! Boo!

- Don't move! - Stop right there!

Wait for me!

Up! Fly it up!

You know,

just seeing Ma Ru eat and play well makes me happy.

Totally. Even his foetus name was happiness.

You're right. His existence itself is happiness.

But for some strange reason, his friends feel familiar.

He reminds me of Chief Nam.

That boy, Director Ma.

And her, Ah Reum.

That means...

Mom, Dad! I caught the criminal!

Great job, Detective Cha Ma Ru!

What?

No way. That's impossible.

What is?

No, forget it.

What is it? Tell me.

Seriously. It's nothing.

Ma Ru!

- Should I join? Let's go. - No...

After an eternity,

I'm with you now.

After crossing life and death,

I have come next to you.

It's not just a coincidence that we met like this.

To cherish each other more,

the almighty might have given us another chance.

My grateful dear who joined me on to the stage called today.

Are you ready...

to love as much as you can and be happy with all we've got?

- Then from now on, showtime! - From now on, showtime!

(From Now On, Showtime!)

Stop.

Hurry. Come on now.

My hand!

- What's next? - I don't know.

No, stop it!

No!

Officer Ko...

I'm going nuts here!

Sweet potato mousse rice cake?

Cut! Okay!

(We thank Im Won Hee and Lee Eun Gyeol for their special appearance.)

- Shut it. - Cut!

Stop it.

(Thank you for watching 'From Now On, Showtime!'.)
