When Time Stopped
The Final Episode
Joon Woo
All right...
You got your memories back.
♫ Even so, it's all right. You can take a break in front of me ♫
I'm sorry.
Yeah... Joon Woo suddenly?
It took too long for me to come back.
♫ For a day or so, will you rest out of sight in my arms? ♫
♫ In the night when we quietly promised in the inept and awkward silence ♫
I really resented you very much.
♫ I promise you ♫
But...
Also...
Thank you.
All right.
It'll be really a long story.
There are things that even gods don't know.
This bracelet is one of them.
All I can say is that:
in this bracelet,
your memories stayed, Miss.
Those memories found you by going through times.
Ajussi, you have kept this bracelet continuously.
Because I was sorry...
I wanted to have you two to meet again
to say that I was sorry someday..
What kind of god is he? There is nothing he can't do.
You jerk, I can hear you. Really, such a rascal.
Then, this bracelet...
a long time ago...
No... You mean it has the memory of my past life?
That's right.
That's right. Like he got his memory back,
looking at him, who got his completely erased memory back,
I can't figure out what this is.
Then I have to try the bracelet on right now.
The moment you put on this bracelet, the memories you will face...
might be harder to handle than you think.
I think it's better not to try on this bracelet.
Why do you all scare me?
But, what if that person called God
comes by again? What should we do then?
I think it'll be okay for a while,
because he needs to think a lot.
- President! Don't —- Basement!
Huh?
Then, this old man is God? Are you saying he's God?
Mom... No way...
God the Father,
lead us not into temptation...
He is not in the present position.
But he was in the past.
These days, Gods have the present or past position.
Then if God retires, will he get something like a pension?
Anyhow, I've been worried a lot since the gangsters broke in here last time.
I'm so relieved that nothing big happened to you like this.
Right. In Seob and Basement—
Anyhow, with that kind of ability,
I thought you would live by doing whatever you want.
But I've never thought, even in my dream, you would be chased by someone.
The landlord and Basement, you have gone through a lot.
They are very understanding
- Anyhow, you—- Basement.
No matter whatever you were in the past, we're always on your side.
These days, who would jump into helping someone else's affairs with arms wide open?
The truth is...
We all know we received your help.
Here, 201 with a threatening impression,
Soo Na, and I went through a dark and rough time in the past.
I used to think: Indeed, would we be happy again?
Thanks to you, Basement,
and to you too, Landlord,
we became happy.
I'm not good at advising about life.
But don't run away from your past.
When we faced it coolly,
it makes us be happy this moment.
Thank you for having made us face it, Basement.
♫ Pleasse stop the time ♫
♫ At our splendid night ♫
♫ Do you want to call me? ♫
I made up my mind.
What kind of mind...?
I will see my past life.
So I will wear this bracelet.
Seon Ah, you don't need to bear such pain also.
♫ Suddenly to me who was left behind ♫
I am...
stronger than the weak woman I seem.
You know that.
The same repeating routines everyday,
the debt that my dad left,
and even loan sharks who used to bother me everyday...
Actually,
I had never thought about the next day.
No, I mean... I couldn't afford thinking about it.
But after I met you, I changed.
I thought about the next days.
That's why I want to know.
About even the past that we were together.
If I face the past coolly,
I can get happier at this moment.
♫ I will be here ♫
Legend?
The memory of destiny that was chosen by the bracelet,
Is held in the bracelet forever.
♬ I'm trying not to be surprised ♬
Us meeting will be a beautiful memory.
Because that's how I feel right now.
Make me disappear instead!
I'll absorb her powers so take me instead!
Joon Woo...
Don't be hurt because of me.
♬ Even though I am unable to hold on ♬
♬ Oh just for my love, I'm changing ♬
♬ Oh just for my lover, I'm born again ♬
Welcome back.
♬ Now at a time I hate the world, ♬
♬ I think of you ♬
My grandmother...
wasn't a liar.
It has been a while, Joon Woo.
Could you move for minute, please?
I just want to talk to her.
Seon Ah, let me know if anything happens.
"If something happens"? What do you mean, you punk?
That rude fool. Hey you!
Thank you for granting my wish.
I didn't do much. I just stood by and watched over you.
Because you gave me the chance, Ajussi.
Ajussi?
It's nice to hear you call me that.
If Joon Woo
hadn't met me then...
he would've been able to live as a human again, right?
He wouldn't have the burden of being a grim reaper.
Because that's the grim reaper's destiny, he would end being like that anyhow someday.
Ajussi...
I have a favor to ask you...
The time that Joon Woo lost...
I want to let him find it again.
For now, just stay out here.
His temper is really something else. He's not going to leave you alone.
Ah, you old man, really.
How are you talking about your truly favorite hoobae (junior) behind my back? It's disappointing.
Wow, your timing is just amazing.
I knew you would show up at this kind of time.
That "God's consideration" that you were talking about,
I thought about it a lot and my answer is...
I think leaving these two is very dangerous.
Dangerous? What do you mean "dangerous"?
Huh? Danger?
Are you the one who says such words with your own mouth?
Forcing to make the empowered people destroyed! You remember that, don't you?
Isn't it strange for you to say such words, after you made the empowered people destroyed ruthlessly?
By God's rules, I will make those two disappear.
What, God's rules? You punk, what a talk...
If you do that then I'll...!
I think this kid is strong enough to be able to dominate you now.
So... don't move.
Who the heck are you to just get rid of someone's life as you please?
Who are you?
I'm God.
You are good looking but... Is God everything?
Can God kill an innocent person like this as you please?
This isn't a problem for humans to get involved with. Move aside.
Move aside.
Wait a minute.
What is going on right now? What?
Humans are quite interesting creatures.
What are you going to do now?
Why is it a sin to have those abilities?
What did they do so bad with their abilities?
They have those abilities that theyare not supposed to have. That's their sin.
Those abilities will cause turmoil in the human world.
Turmoil, yeah right!
This man here, Basement, when my Soo Na and I decided to die,
He gave us another chance.
You say you are God. So what the heck did you, God, do at that time?!
The same happened to me.
My life was meaningless so I decided to give up on life.
But Basement helped me look at my life again.
These two people... are my life savers.
So!
If you touch even a hair on them...
As for these two, nobody knows what will happen to them.
Even you don't know, either.
So... whether you are God or not,
you have no right to do something to them.
♫ Don't be freshly ♫
♬ surprised anymore ♬
♫ As always fate is never ♫
♬ something in favor of me ♬
♬ LIke a hazy memory ♬
♬ It can't be found ♬
♬ Oh just for my love, I'm changing ♬
♬ Oh just for my lover, I'm born again ♬
♬ Now at a time I hate the world ♬
♬ I think of you and I smile ♬
Hello God,
God can't touch a human.
That's God's rule.
I heard it from Ajussi.
You like rules.
Then among the people here,
I think the one with power is just me.
♫ I am going in circles on the path too much again ♫
♫ When completely permeating in a second ♫
♫ I was filled by you ♫
♫ Oh just for my love, I am changing ♫
Even this time again, ♬ Oh just for my lover, I'm born again ♬
I'm sorry I decided my own way.
Even though it was for a short time,
I was very happy that we met each other again.
♬ I think of you ♬
♫ And I smile ♫
I love you, Basement.
I love you, Joon Woo.
♫ I'm trapped inside time which has been crushed ♫
♫ You for whom I couldn't do anything have become the place I can lean on ♫
♫ You whose meaning is precious ♫
♫ Freshly again ♫
♫ Like today you shine more ♫
♬ In a time when I hate the world now ♬
♫ I hug you and I smile ♫
I knew one day,
you would come here.
Make Joon Woo
go on with his life.
If he knew I vanished,
he would fall into despair.
He would kill himself.
I know you don't want that for him either.
So,
whatever it takes; make him live his life.
When you vanish, he won't remember you existed.
You do not have to worry about it.
Then,
it's really a relief.
What do you think you're doing!?
The connection of you two is beyond ordinary.
I apologize, Ajussi.
But...
this is the best for everyone.
You...
Why are you choosing this way?
Because I love him. I'm not sure.
God is supposed to know everything,
doesn't he?
You're a confident human in front of God... No.
Empowered person?
I told you before.
Even God can't sometimes predict a human's fate.
That's true. There are so many things we can't predict.
That's why they are dangerous.
Do you know now?
Well, for me, I just have to get rid of the empowered person.
Are you ready?
That's the reason why life is so beautiful.
It cannot be predicted.
That's why they need God's care even more.
You take care of the next, Sunbaenim.
Sunbaenim, who used to be God, your considerate care.
This is the starting point, isn't it.
I can't help it even though you resent me.
It's my job and God's work to make the world maintain its equilibrium.
All memories of her will be gone.
Now, live happily as a human.
This is my considerate care for you.
I'll be leaving, Sunbaenim.
♫ How did this happen again? ♫
♫ Everything freezes in an instant ♫
Why are we all over here?♫ It's over you that the silence is broken and ♫
♫ I pretend to be calm but ♫
♫ it's a task which I absolutely hate doing to each other ♫
♫ It's over you that I say something contrary to how I feel ♫
My stopped time started flowing again.
I don't remember
but something very precious that I treasured,
I feel I have lost it.
However, time will come back
to the memories again.
In Seob, how about having dinner with me tonight?
- Yeah.- Hmm? Really?
What should we eat? I know a good beef chitterlings place.
Should we go there? How about beef chitterlings and soju?
Boss is going to treat us with beef chitterlings and soju for our dinner out.
Where is the place?
By any chance, did you ride together on that junk scooter again?
No, Mom, we just met in front of the building.
Why are you hassling my daughter
all the way to school?
Mom...
Do you know how good he takes care of me at school?
So what if he's taking care of you!?
In school, all the guys that like you are running away because they're afraid of him.
Why are you blocking my daughter from dating?
Ajumoni, your maintenance fee is 11 days overdue.
Oh, In Seob...
It's been that long?
Yes, I'm not an easy landlord who just lets things go.
If you keep doing this, I'll have no choice but..
to take legal action.
Well...
On maintenance fee, you need to take it that far...
Landlord.
That's enough for today. Lets talk about it tomorrow.
I'm sure that 202 ajumoni
just came back from work so she must be very tired.
Yeah sure.
Then I will be getting in first.
I'm here to collect the maintenance fee.
I'll give it to you after applying the writing contest.
Again, again, you're making an excuse of applying contest.
Your arms, legs, and body look very fine.
So stop applying the writing contests that you can't make it out—
OK OK..hey...
I will give it to you.
OK.
♫ on the day I was abandoned and fell apart ♫
♫ Days I was Hurting as much as the pain ♫
The people in the same building where I live in the basement,
live their own lives.
♫ time will bring you ♫
Everyone is busy and doesn't always get along.
♫ Whenever you are I will be there ♫
I'm sure everybody feels an unknown common something here.
♫ Wherever you are will be I can be found ♫
♫ Please stop the time at our splendid night ♫
With their own way,
they may be chasing the unknown something, because...
♫ You are my all ♫
I, who don't have any talent in writing,
from some time,
have been writing a novel.
♫ I will be here ♫
... in a dark alley... unidentified male... running...
Ah, seriously!
Where did he go?
Sunbaenim!
I told you that you should know the empowered people's characters.
Yes.
I'm telling you that I hired Hwa Sook was one of my best works.
She's prompt, smart, and understanding well.
She is as good as Myeong Woon.
Don't you think so?
What does your expression mean?
- You said I was like that once.- What about?
The reaper who surpassed Reaper Myeong Woon.
Yea, that's correct.
You can't compare yourself to her.
What's the matter?
By the way, why does Seon Ah not improve at all?
He asked a favor to me very much so I accepted her in.
But Kim Seon Ah can't do anything.
What?
Here look...
Aigoo.
Why don't you just say it?
Or Just leave then. Why are you acting like this?
I have a favor to ask you
What favor this time? Sunbaenim
I treat you with courtesy as a former god.
Ah really, are you too much for being a former god?
Please accept the lady who vanished as a grim reaper
What you say?
Then I won't get involve in this world any more.
What if you won't?
I've been here too long.
What? What's wrong this time?
So you would vanish by yourself?
Really?
Sunbaenim why are you doing this? Why?
Why are you, God, sacrificing yourself for one mere human!?
Hey you brat, you're too ruthless!
Oh my!
The most ruthless god among the past gods says I'm ruthless!
I'm doing my job well, very well.
You're very punctual. I'm sure you will do a good job.
You're too kind to say that.
Ah but sunbaenim...
Honestly you did the better job than any others.
Why are you retiring all of a sudden?
I come to hate myself.
What are you saying?
I've never be generous.
I just made many empowered people vanish mercilessly.
I thought that was justice and truth.
Well...
God doesn't need generosity.
You'll understand my words soon someday.
Be considerate.
Even Gods aren't perfect.
I don't want to explain myself to you.
We're Gods, but not almighty.
Gods make mistakes and have envy and jealousy.
No one can predict the god's future.
The reason God need to take care those who have power,
you think it's to balance the world?
Tell them not to give me such bull-crap words. Even Gods don't know their futures.
So they're afraid of empowered people's movements.
So you should be more humble to the empowered people.
and be generous to them.
After they make trials and errors, they can correct themselves.
It's our job to watch and make them do so.
Why? Because human can improve themselves on their own.
I'm going to erase all her memories and make her work very hard.
Finally you put your first step on being a generous god. Huh!
Ah one more thing I add.
Human's destiny is very tough.
We, gods, can't do much about it. I'm leaving.
Hello I'm a God.
I know that you are a God.
Where would it go?
I had someone put in a request.
Drink it
You sinned, used your power that God have given and turn the world up side down.
So, from now on, become a grim reaper and pay for your sins.
Is being a grim reaper some kind of kid's joke?
Why did you try to reason with that person with power and lose the person?
Are you going to take responsibility for their lives?!
And you, why didn't you stop her?
If I could, I want to do that.
What...what?
I want to do my best to try to convince them not to use their power.
To convince and work together.
Then I will be back.
wait a minute. Hey! Hey!
What did she just say?
how could her personality not change even after losing her memories,
not even a little.
The tenants that live in my building, they're not that close to each other
I'm sure there's an unknown present here myself.
There's no use telling anyone
But I remember everything.
And I remember Seon Ah.
After that day's incident, Seon Ah disappeared
And everyone forgot about her existence.
I also forgot about her.
After Seon Ah disappeared, we became neighbors who didn't really care for each other.
I became the landlord of the building.
Even basement, who seemed like he should never forget about Seon Ah, forgot about her.
Is there a proplem?
No
But one day, I'm not sure if this is another power of mine,
Just like how I remembered my father, I remembered Seon Ah, who doesn't exist anymore.
Even if you disappear from the world,
I remember.
I'll remember until the end.
♫ The night that was filled with your gentle image ♫
♫ As much as I always looked depressed in the past ♫
♫ I hope you don't know my dark past. ♫
Or this could all be a plan of that old man, who was called "God".
I became the only person in the world who remembers Seon Ah.
See me for a moment.
♫ While you comfort pitiful me ♫
♫ In front of you, who shelter me ♫
But why did you give that up and pursue writing, which you have no talent in?
It's my life.
This is the contact info for the person who possesses the item you're looking for.
How did you get this?
Every night talking loud over the phone about finding items.
How did I know you talking loud with my door open?
but why landlord, you have this?
I don't know
Hurry and find what you need to find and have a normal life
Thank you.
Go.
♫ My heart is swirling ♫
♫ In my world which has stopped ♫
♫ Oh, in my confessed mind ♫
♫ You're not letting me go ♫
♫ Your last image of you in front of me ♫
♫ Making it hard for me to go ♫
♫ My last step is stopped ♫
Is the sea!
Sunbaenim, since we're here; lets try to enjoy.
Ahh, I'm hungry.
Is it okay just to send Seon Ah like this?
It might be too much for her.
Hae Sook is there so don't worry.
And there is no an extra grim reaper to send there right now.
OK.
What that old man said keeps bothering me.
Welcome to Gangmun Street
You, who told you to steal other people's food?
Are you ok?
You have to be careful.
Final Credits
Lets go in
Final Credits
I heard you were collecting every bracelet from three nations era (Silla, Baekje, Goryeo).
You're highly reputed for collection. I wish I have a chance to see your collection someday.
You're very generous with your compliments.
That is why I declined other organizations or collectors and wanted to show this item to you, Moon Joon Woo.
This hotel was just built not a long ago.
But coincidentally, while building the hotel; they found various kinds of relics in the ground.
Among them,
this was found together.
State agency can't guess its year made or value, so they refused to be entrusted withit.
I just keep it on my own.
Yes.
Is this item what you're looking for?
Yes, it is correct.
The time stopped.
Excuse me!
And time starts flowing again.
♫ Any more needlessly ♫
♬ I'm trying not to be surprised ♬
♫ As always fate is never ♫
How did you do this?
♬ It's not on my side ♬
How did you do this?
Are you a magician?
You are a magician?
♬ Oh just for my love, I am changing ♬
♬ Oh just for my lover, I am born again ♬
So it felt like this.
♬ At such time I should be hating this world, ♬
It been a while.
♬ I think of you ♬
Basement
♫ And I smile ♫
Was this all the "big picture" you were thinking of, Sunbae?
Why don't you take this chance to share your considerate care nicely, Hoobae-nim?
How can you smile right now? Huh?! Is it funny?
Aren't you going to work?
♫ Even so, it's all right. ♫
♫ You can ♫
♫ Take a break in front of me ♫
♫ Even if you cry, it's all right ♫
♫ For a day or so, ♫
♫ Will you ♫
This didn't look like magic.
♫ In the night ♫
From what I know,
There is no magic to stop time
♫ When we quietly promised in the inept and awkward silence ♫
Then, is it like some super power?
♫ In the future on that day ♫
Basement, looks like you are a fantasy writer.
Yes.
♫ I'll never make you cry ♫
By the way, for a while you have been calling me basement.
How did you know I live in the basement?
I think it's going to be a long story,
will you like to listen to it?
♫ Even though I can't tell you everything, ♫
♫ The feeling of ♫
♫ My body heat as it was ♫
♫ I promise you ♫
♫ In the future on that day, ♫
When Time Stopped
♫ I'll never make you cry ♫
♫ Like the distant night which resembled your smile ♫
♫ I wanna be with you. ♫
♫ Yes, on some days even if ♫
♫ There are raindrops, ♫
♫ In a cloud with you, ♫
♫ Remember me ♫
♫ As a rainbow. ♫
♫ I promise you ♫
♫ In every moment, you are beautiful ♫
♫ I'll never make you cry ♫
♫ I promise you so that you will be as warm as you are now ♫
