While You Were Sleeping
Timing and Subtitles brought by The Dream Team @ Viki Split and Re-timing by YHANG
Again... It's that dream again.
The dream where it feels like I'm already there even though the time hasn't come yet.
The dream where even after I'm awake, I still feel like I'm in a dream.
A night of nightmare
where the morning seems like it will never come.
Episode 9
There is a sound that awakens that night.
A sound that assures me by telling me that the night has faded and the dream has hidden itself away in the future.
A sound that comforts me by saying, "It's morning now, so it will be okay."
To me, my mom is the morning awakening the night.
Oh gosh, I can't believe you.
I gave birth to you and had seaweed soup.
You think this is a person's room? It's a pigsty!
This is why I can't eat pork!
Because you come to mind!
Mom, let's sleep for 5 more minutes like this.
What's wrong with you? That's gross.
Did you have that dream again?
♬ My heart is racing ♬
♬ This feeling of euphoria ♬
♬ Your subtle, fragrant scent spreading ♬
Crazy bastard.
Why do you leave so early these days? Or are you meeting someone?
No, I'm leaving early to not meet someone.
Who's the someone?
Who is it?
Yes, thank you.
Hyung, the house across from us brought mackerel.
Go out and get it.
- Hey! You get it!- You go. I'm in a hurry!
Hey, I can't! If I go out like this, she'll misunderstand.
You look snazzy. It's nice! So why!?
That's why! It's because I'm snazzy that it's a problem!
I look too nice to go outside for mackerel. It's unnatural.
It's a perfect situation for her to misunderstand and I don't want that, okay?
What kind of crap is that?
Just let go! I need to poo!
H-Hey, Seung Won! Hey, you li'l punk! Hey!
Oh, it was you.
Your little brother said that you don't eat much for breakfast.
But that's not good especially for men. You won't have energy.
I wrapped each of them separately, so leave them in the freezer and grill them to eat.
It's already seasoned so all you have to do is grill it. It's so much easier than boiling ramen!
Okay, thank you!
So you like mackerel!
Oh gosh, I should've given it sooner.
- You're early these days.- Yes.
A double shot Americano with--
Hazelnut syrup. The short-haired woman just ordered it and left.
She's now in the bathroom but she'll be back soon.
- She's here at this time?!- Yes.
It felt like you two were missing each other for the past few days,
so I tipped her off and told her that if she came early, she might run into you.
I did well, right?
No, why'd you do something so unnecessary--
Oh, she's here!
Jae Chan?
A double shot Americano with hazelnut syrup, right?
Are you a stalker? You don't have anything to do?
You're right, I don't.
But are you on a morning shift these days?
I didn't know you left so early, so I've been making a vain effort for the past few days!
You said you're on break. Are you not going back to work?
If I go back to work, it'll be harder for you to see me. Is that what you want?
Yes, I desperately want that.
Oh whatever shall we do? Because I like seeing your face more than the idea of going back to work.
Not that you don't want to go back to work?
I wouldn't say that I don't want to...
Should I go back to work or not?
Why are you asking me that?
Because I really don't know.
It's 50:50, split evenly in half.Reinstatement Form
So you decide.
I'll do what you tell me to do.
Should I go back to work or not?
Is being a reporter that hard? That you don't want to go back so badly?
No, it's because I want to go back.
Because I really want to...
- You look good.- I was born this way.
- Are you dating?- I am.
You're really dating someone?!
Yeah, my cases.
Your cases...
- Hello Attorney!- Good morning!
Close it. Close it.
- Get on.- I'll get on the next one.
He must be going down.
Hey, get on. There's so much room here.
- Please go in a little more! - There isn't a lot of room...
- Oh my gosh.- Ow. - He must be going down.
Get on!
I have to pee.
Hey, he says he's in a hurry. Get on already.
Have you covered any bases? I was fast when I was in your position.
During my time, all you needed was one month--
Give it a rest. We're with a crowd.
I meant I got an award for excellence in the span of a month.
But is this something I shouldn't say in front of people?
No, of course not!
Oh! You thought of the other bases. Not in regards to work.
Is it Ms. Nam Hong Joo?
- See you later.- Go safely.
Oh! Hey, I was way faster when it came to those bases.
Put some effort into it.
What bases? The bases that we're aware of?
The rumor that he stole Attorney Lee's girlfriend must be real.
- Really?- I can hear everything.
Well, if you heard, then why don't you give us your side of the testimony?
If you leave these kinds of rumors be, it'll grow even worse.
These kinds of rumors get worse with any excuse.
What kind of a person is this Ms. Nam Hong Joo?
I don't really know either.
Nam Hong Joo? The Nam Hong Joo from Hong Joo Pork Belly?
- Yeah.- The one who's amazing with the kimchi stew?
Yeah, that one.
Oh, I guess we can find her there. Have you been?
No, not yet. But the rumors say that she's insanely pretty
and even an intellectual.
She's pretty and smart? What type is she then? The Prosecutor Sin type?
Not even close.
True. Prosecutor Sin isn't quite enough to have those kinds of rumors.
That's what I'm saying. Prosecutor Sin is...
She's worth looking at amongst the average people.
They say Ms. Nam Hong Joo is on a level of her own.
Like a wall no one can overcome.
Makes sense. Attorney Lee said she was like a tree that never falls no matter how much you pine after her.
A total femme fatale style.
What?! What? Fem-Femme what?
You know. A woman has men wrapped around her finger with her intellect and beauty.
But she never gives her heart. Femme fatale.
You really ate all the meat in between every nook and cranny.
So what now? Which bone were you missing this time?
I was missing a leg. A critical piece of a whole chicken, that along with the wings.
Well, it's not like I'm a machine. So when I'm wrapping up to-go orders,
a piece can go here and another can go there.
I'll be more careful next time, okay?
I've ordered 26 whole chickens from this store.
If, by your logic, a piece goes here while another goes there, there should be a time where one gets more! Correct?
Right.
But you see! I've never! Had more! Than a whole chicken!
The menu says a whole chicken but why is it that I was deprived of that whole chicken?
Where did those missing pieces go?
Could it be that, you're taking those pieces to make another "whole chicken"?!
Gosh, you're really starting to... Aren't you what they call black consumer or something?
You get money by picking a fight when you have zero evidence!
You'd get punished if I sued you.
Evidence? I have evidence!
I have a video I took starting from the moment the chicken arrived!
If we go by the video then-- Ow!
You. I told you to get groceries so what are you doing here? God damn.
- She's from my body, but I can't understand her. Never mind. Sorry.- Okay.
Seems to be the hardest word.
- C'mere.- Sir, I'll be back!
- Hurry up!- I will continue to see if-- Ow!
- What will you see? What are you? The terminator?! - Mother, let's walk after you let me go.
Mother! Mother!
#5 Don't believe her.
What are you? Huh?
What happened to the groceries, and why were you making a useless scene at someone else's workplace?
Yeah? You thought it was useless, too, right?
I was dealing with the prosecutors and police officers,
but now I'm trying to uncover corruption in a chicken joint.
I'm really wasting my skillset. Overusing it.
So what, you're going back to work?
You saw?
Of course I saw it! You left it glaringly at the table, just begging me to see it!
Why aren't you answering me? Are you going back to work?
Yeah.
You said you dreamt of dying as a reporter. You said you're too scared to be a reporter.
You said you'd live and run the shop with me.
So why have you changed your mind? Why?
It's not that I've changed my mind. The future can change.
You said you can't! You said the future doesn't change just because you know what's coming!
But it did change. Look at what Jae Chan did. He saved you and me.
So you'll go back to work, trusting in him?
Did he say he'd save you? That he'd protect you?
No, well... It's not like that.
But let's be real! He changed the future, so why can't I!
You can't! You won't ever!
Why! What am I lacking compared to him--
So much, there's so much you lack!
Mom! I'm your daughter!
Can't you trust me more than you trust him?!
I can't!
The way I see it, you're far less trustworthy and far more frail than him.
You make me worry so much more, and you--!
You're so much more precious!
I only have you in this world, too.
Don't let me end up being alone.
Okay?
That's my daughter.
Oh my, oh my.
We're here to eat pork belly!
Hello!
Again!?
I skipped breakfast so I am really hungry.
44,007... 44,008...
44,009...
What's he doing?
The protest at Gwanghwamun yesterday.
He says he'll count the numbers one by one and compare them with the police's and event host's estimates.
So he's got too much time on his hands.
- 44,015... - Hey.
Hong Dae Hyeon. Nam Hong Joo's reinstatement is next week, right?
What did she decide on? Is she coming back?
44,019. Why are you asking me that? 44,020.
You're supposed to form a new team, and I'm supposed to have headcount and give that over.
Hey, you're her direct sunbae, so you should be looking after her, not me!
44,024...
- 4. 9.- 4. 9.
Aw cap'n! I forgot because of you!
You're my sunbae. I don't even hope for you to look after me.
But you're not supposed to screw things up either!
Hey, when other people see us, they'll think you're my sunbae.
What are you going to do? Do I count Nam Hong Joo in or what!
1, 2, 3.
- You're so frustrating, piece of-- - 4, 5.
6, 7.
- 8...- Ugh.
He's insane.
Let's end the meeting here. So Lunch Duty, where's lunch today?
- Oh, I'll be at the front--- Chief!
Why did you reject the paperwork that I turned in concerning the DUI hit-and-run accident?
I wrote down why on the files.
It's too much to indict the passenger with the liability for allowing drunk driving.
You know how it is. Even if we prosecute this, the mostpunishment they'll receive is a fine and a court ruling of not guilty.
Just like the court ruling from last month.
- Where are we going today?- Today...
There has been a judicial precedent last year of receiving probation for that crime.
How about Japan? With the exact same case, their court ruled 2 years in jail time for the passenger.
That's right! I saw those files too. Is your case similar?
Yes. Actually, it's more severe.
After they drank a lot together, he retrieved the keys from the valet driver and gave it to his friend to drive.
He told him that he knew a way to avoid intermittent and asked to drive him back home.
At this point, that's abetting. Abetting and aiding in drinking and driving.
As a result from the accident, a 9 year old child lost his parents.
They say that he has to have a colostomy bag stuck to his side for the rest of his life.
This was a case that could have been prevented if the passenger stopped him! We are treating him generously by prosecuting for liability for allowing drunk driving!
It's not too much. It's not enough!
He did not even drive himself; you're being too harsh.He only handed the driver his keys.
You can't accuse anybody to be a criminal just because you're a prosecutor!
-Chief!-Prosecutor Son!
Now, now, let's eat lunch first.
If hunger elongates, even crimes that can be solved easily cannot be solved.
Prosecutor Jeong, what's for lunch?
Yes. I have decided on the tonkatsu shop near here. CheonHa Tonkatsu.
Oh, newbie~ Did you read my mind? I was craving some tonkatsu!
Ah, tonkatsu from the CheonHa restaurant is good!
But Chief had drinks yesterday. He should clear his hangover.
I heard the kimchi stew from a place called Hong Joo Pork Belly is a work of art.
That place is too far so let's go somewhere close. Right by here...
Yeah! There's a ton of kimchi stew places nearby.
Then let's go to Hong Joo Pork Belly.
The weather's nice today, so might as well walk to exercise.
Let's go!
The weather's been great lately, don't you agree?
I always get off a station early to walk to work nowadays.
Shall we go?
Basically the dreams interpret to this.
- You had dreams about different people, mostly of Jae Chan as of recently. - Yeah.
Jae Chan's dreams are about you, and my dreams are about Jae Chan.
Really? Interesting.
There has to be some kind of rule here.
The first person to have dreams was you, Hong Joo. And then, Jae Chan.
Lastly, me. If we think about this as a contagious disease, you're patient zero.
Others are not infected by air or physical touch.
Because if so, then there should be way more people who are infected.
Hey, am I some kind of infectious disease patient?
I'm only saying that to put it simply.
- You don't like having these dreams? - I don't.
I wonder if I sold the country in my past life and I'm getting punished for it.
No, you saved the country in your past life.
If we figure out the rules and patterns of these dreams, we can prevent all kinds of crimes or natural disasters.
Wait, what if you dream about wars and terrorisms?
Hong Joo, I think we should each master a new language.
That way, we can communicate with the other parts of the world! Listen, I can speak a bit of German.
-Guten Tag-He is naturally well-mannered.
On top of that, a handsome man. American style.
It's because he takes after me. Isn't his appearance an exact mirror of me?
When he goes outside, people
go crazy that I raised my brother well.
- I can get cash receipt, right?- Of course! - Thank you.
You're very excited.
Do you like having those dreams?
Of course I do!
And then what if you have a dream where you die?
What are you talking about? What bad luck.
Well you are a police. What if you dream of dying due to taking some dangerous actions?
Will you quit your job?
Are you crazy? I worked so hard to become a police.
But you could die if you stay as a policeman.
I can just change it as I go along.
It will be fine if I change it. I can change it.
Really? Do you really think so?
Get out!
Mother, what's wrong?
Who's your mother? Get out. Right now!
- Mom!- Mother...
Who's your mother? Stop saying nonsense! Get out!
Get out now!
Why is she like that all of a sudden?
Did I mistakenly say something?
No... I don't think it's because of you but because of me.
I asked for a cash receipt.
Why did you do that, Sunbae? It didn't even cost much.
She even gave us a rice bowl on the house.
Han Woo Tak?
Police
- Welcome!- Welcome!
Sit wherever comfortable.
Oh look! Our Prosecutor Jeong came!
Oh Newbie, you must be close to the owner here!
Of course since he's a regular here.
Ah... So you two are in that kind of relationship like the rumor--
No, we're not.
If Prosecutor Jeong is a regular here, are you going to take care of us with some soda on the house?
People who ask for sodas on the house at restaurants like this or people who ask for dumplings on the house at Chinese restaurants seem really needy to me.
It seems like they're scraping off of them.
No, it's not like that. Of course, we will give you some on the house.
Just wait a few minute!
Oh, that must be Nam Hong-Joo. She's so pretty.
And she seems intellectual and what do you call it?
Has a femme fatale style?
Her style is that?
Of course.
Our Lord who always grants us grace and wisdom.
Grant your wisdom to every one of us in this team
and lead us so that we will be able to see justice in prosecuting other's sins.
One child has become an orphan due to one incident and has to live the rest of his life with a disability.
One who did not stop the incident, along with the one who caused the incident, must be considered a sinner as well in this tragedy.
Please send justice even to the liable one with your sword--
The one who caused the car accident did not cause a deliberate offense but an unintentional one.
One cannot abet an incident that could not be predicted,
therefore we cannot ask for his punishment--
- A car accident due to drinking and driving is clearly a predictable incident. Very predictable. - Yes.
Lord, it is very obvious that we should indict someone who has clearly predicted such possibility yet ignored it--
By that logic, there are countless amount of children who are starving in this world.
So those who do not donate and choose to ignore should also be punished--
Rescue us from the malignant who try to drift us away from the point--
We live in a society where we uphold the principle of elders being first.
Respecting those above you and--
What? Why does the principle that elders are first come into our prayer to the Lord?
I-Isn't that Confucianism?
If the doctrine applies, it can be said.
Don't you know about interfaith dialogue?
Let's not be like this. How about we simply vote for majority?
- Democracy. - Good idea.
Miss, can we have soda on the house?
- No need, please count it in the receipt.- Sure.
Alright, then let's decide with a vote.
Those who think that the passenger who did not stop drinking and driving should also be liable, raise your hand.
Should not be liable, raise your hand.
Prosecutor Jeong, what are you doing? Why aren't you raising your hand?
Both sides have their points, so I have to think longer on it to find my answer.
Don't be diplomatic and state your opinion!
If you back out on a situation like this, that's cowardly.
Don't you think?
Why are you asking me that?
I was just wondering if it was only me that think it's cowardly.
Well... Firstly, I think that this kind of prayer
is an act that goes against public servants' neutrality towards religion.
No, we're all believers.
Come on, no way.
Why?
At most, 20% of Koreans are Christians.
Then the probability that all four of you are Christians is 0.2 to the 4th power which is 0.0016.
That probability is lower than the probability of being able to see a double rainbow in your lifetime.
It wouldn't make sense.
It means that someone among this group is hiding their faith and being perceptive of the higher-ups.
And to not pray and hold his ground in this kind of organization, it means that his beliefs are firm.
I don't think his diplomacy is cowardly.
He's probably actually thinking over it, trying to judge by his beliefs.
More sincerely than some.
Does that answer your question?
Wow, who's that lady? The way she talks is no joke.
The way she talks... I heard it before somewhere.

- Nam Hong Joo!- Oh my goodness!
You scared me!
That woman at the restaurant! She's a reporter!
Reporter Nam Hong Joo!
She was a news reporter at SBC broadcasting station.
She cut her hair, so I didn't recognize her. But it is here. It is.
No wonder.
What kind of a reporter?
Gosh, she was a really fierce one.
When the suspects came out, she positioned herself abnormally well.
She would stand right in front, right next to them and pour out the testimonies.
Her voice was loud, too, that we thought she swallowed a loudspeaker.
Just one word!
The current chief prosecutor who has consecutively sexually harassed female prosecutors during company dinners is causing a controversy right now.
Last year or so, the one who reported on the sexual harassment case of the chief prosecutor of Yeonjoo District Prosecution.
She's the reporter who revealed it and got him fired.
It was found that he would pick out certain female prosecutors and touched them inappropriately.
But then, she suddenly disappeared without a word.
So I thought she went somewhere as a correspondent.
Why is such a popular reporter working at a restaurant?
I know. I wonder too.
She's not the type to quit being a reporter.
I should go and ask her.
The event hosts of the Gwanghwamun candle light protest estimated the number of attendees to be about 700,000 people.
However, the estimate that the police gave out was 150,000 which fell very short of the previous number.
The reason for such a huge difference is due to the method they use to count heads and the perspectives they have.
The hosts count people from the start of the event...
If we count all of that, then they will all be arrested. All of them.
If we aren't going to arrest all of them, then what?
Let's think about it with the actual issue in mind.
- Gosh. - Asking to be responsible for providing a way that caused--
I mean, we're talking about a car accident.
But when I personally counted the protest attendees,
at 6PM, the total count was around 307,000.
Did you get hurt?
Where?
You should've been careful. Leave these. I'll finish it.
Are you crying? Does it hurt that much?
Should we go to the hospital?
Mom, I don't think these are sweet onions. My eyes hurt too much.
[Episode 10 will air shortly]
