What is this?
What is going on here?
We were...
married, Woo Jin.
What?
You and I...
were married.
We were married.
You and I.
Right.
You must think I am a lunatic for saying something so absurd.
It's too hard to believe.
I went through it myself, and I still couldn't believe it.
But it's real.
I did.
I saw it.
I saw you touch her.
Joo Hyuk. Can you stay?
We met when we were innocent.
We fell in love,
and we got married.
But...
you gradually changed into a scary person.
Not knowing...
that it was because I made you lonely,
I complained...
and resented you.
Then one day, that happened.
Something...
I couldn't believe happened.
You've deserted the route.
I went back to my past.
I went back to that day 12 years back in time.
It was the day we first met.
Did anyone see me touch this girl?
On the bus,
I ran into you again.
But unlike the past,
I ignored you.
- Why? - Joo Hyuk.
When I opened my eyes,
Hye Won was next to me.
My wife actually had changed.
You're lying.
I am sure it's hard to believe, but Woo Jin,
it's true.
Mr. Cha.
Perhaps you watched too many fantasy movies?
This is ridiculous.
If you are that uncomfortable with how I feel about you,
you should...
just say so.
Don't make up such a ridiculous story.
It's true, Woo Jin.
No way.
Where have you been?
It's really dark outside.
Mom.
Have you always known, Mom?
Is that why you called him your son-in-law?
Mom, what do you know?
Mom?
How far do you know?
What's the truth?
Mom.
Don't hate Joo Hyuk.
Joo Hyuk...
did a lot of good things for us too.
I feel sorry for both of you.
I feel sorry about your naughty fate.
Gosh, I'm sleepy.
I'm going to bed.
I'll go to my room.
My name is Seo Woo Jin.
Woo Jin.
Mr. Cha said you don't drink coffee.
He said you'd want a strawberry shake.
Nobody dislikes strawberries, after all.
About the Prisilin in the pantry...
I heard you left that in there.
The pharmacist recommended it to me.
Joo Hyuk.
Why haven't you visited in so long, my son-in-law?
He's not just any man. He's my son-in-law.
How did you know that his last name is Cha?
Because he's my son-in-law, of course.
Who else would it be, you idiot?
This is you, this is Joo Hyuk, and these are your kids.
(Episode 12: The Second Confession)
Really?
Yes. All right.
We'll have to work extra hard today, Hye Jeong.
Woo Jin called out sick because she's not feeling well.
I think I'll have to help customers today too.
Where did Hyang Sook go?
- Is Woo Jin severely ill? - I think so.
She sounded terrible on the phone.
And she's usually so full of energy, too.
Here, this document is for you.
Your loan for your long-term lease has been approved.
Excuse me, but...
I asked for the 1st of the month to be my interest payment date,
but it says the 11th here.
I apologize. I'll fix that for you right away.
Just a moment.
What's gotten into you today, sir?
- It's like you're a newbie again. - Really?
Why do you say that?
You're not going to tell me about it anymore, Mom?
Does that taste good?
No, it tastes terrible.
But still, it's nice that I'm not going to work today, right?
No, I'm not happy at all.
What do you mean? You're even going to the supermarket with me...
and I'm buying you things like this. You must be so happy.
No, I'm not.
You should go. They're waiting.
Who is waiting for me?
Who else?
Anyway, I'm sure they've been waiting for you quite a bit.
I bet they're worried.
You went to the supermarket?
You should've asked her to buy you lots of delicious things.
Look at you, going to town on that.
Hello ma'am.
Please take care of my mom. I have to go somewhere.
- Sure. - Thank you.
Goodbye, ma'am! Have a safe trip!
Goodness.
- Good job. - I want ice cream.
Gosh, I worked so hard today.
Is Woo Jin coming to work tomorrow?
I don't know. I wonder if she's feeling any better now.
I'll have to call her later.
By the way, where did Hyang Sook go?
Does she have a stomachache? Did you check the bathroom?
Where did Hwan go, Mr. Cha?
- Mr. Byun. - Yes?
I have to take care of something urgent, so can I step out?
- Sure, go ahead. - All right. I'm sorry.
Over here. Taxi.
I can't wrap my head around it...
and I don't know if this is even possible. But...
All the strange things that have happened to me up until now.
The recurring dreams I've had.
The strange way Mom acted toward you.
And the fact that you seemed so familiar even when we first met.
The feeling that you knew me way too well.
And most importantly,
the incident on the bus.
Because there was no way for you to know about it...
without having been there.
Everything makes sense now.
I understand why my heart reacted this way...
and why I gravitated toward you.
But...
why did you do it?
Why did you make such a decision?
Why did you cast me aside? Why?
I was so scared...
of the fact that you were changing.
And the fact that I'd have to live with that version of you forever.
I didn't know it was my fault.
If only I'd been a bit more considerate of you...
and...
listened to what you had to say a bit more...
You'd be a cool, healthy woman, just as you are now...
who is doing a good job hanging in there.
But I ruined everything.
I was selfish, and...
I made a foolish choice.
It's too late,
but I'm really sorry, Woo Jin.
I'm so sorry.
Right.
It must not be only your fault...
since no relationship is unilateral.
I'm not the Seo Woo Jin whom you abandoned.
I'm not that weak.
When I face a struggle, I'll put up with it.
I'll live on well.
I'll give you one more chance,
so you should make up for it.
Turn everything back to how it's supposed to be.
You're sorry?
Don't just apologize,
and pay for it throughout your life...
beside me.
Haven't you had lunch?
You look starved.
You got it right.
Goodness.
Did you cry?
No, I didn't.
Don't take it complicated.
Brace yourself for all the criticism, and live as you please.
Just do as you want, punk.
Stop caring about others because it's annoying.
What?
Are you crying?
Instead, I can't give you my blessing,
so don't expect for it.
Why would you cry?
About your brother,
doesn't he have quite a lot of bills to pay?
You better get them from him to a single penny.
Didn't you tell me I was too determined to have my brother pay?
Why, are you curious?
Curious, my foot.
Why would I be curious about him?
He and I are family on papers...
and nothing more than that.
I have no intention in talking with...
such a disloyal punk.
Don't you dare bring him up in front of me.
You brought it up first.
Still, he seemed to be worried about you.
I talked to him on the phone earlier,
and he nagged me so much not to let you drink too much.
He better speak for himself first. I know he'd be skipping meals.
Crazy punk.
I know.
I think he's a little insane too.
Are you crying?
Why would I cry?
These anchovies sting.
We must've bought the wrong ones.
Goodness.
You're sorry?
Don't just apologize, and pay for it throughout your life.
No.
It'd be too greedy of me.
Just do as you want, punk.
Stop caring about others because it's annoying.
No, it'd be too shameless of me.
I'll give you one more chance,
so you should make up for it.
Really?
Can I really do that?
Turn everything back...
to how it's supposed to be.
Just once.
Just one last time,
can I be greedy?
I wanted to tell you in person.
What are you doing this weekend,
Woo Jin?
("Death of Star, Birth of Black Hole")
If Wolf becomes a black hole, the rotating speed of the Earth...
slows down due to the strong gravity caused by it.
Thus, a crack is created in the space-time which creates a wormhole.
The crack is opening little by little already.
Right when the star goes extinct,
we can travel to the past through the wormhole.
Timing is the key.
Moon is the signal.
Moon.
Moon, what kind of moon
What should I wear?
Since the weather is hot...
What is it? Do you want me to wear this?
Mom. Gosh, how pretty.
- How pretty. - How pretty.
It's a weekend day today, so why is there heavy traffic?
Has there been an accident?
(Radio)
Drivers on the highway in the direction to Gupo-dong...
must feel suffocated due to the heavy traffic right now.
At around 10:10am today, the bus number 170...
and the following 2.5t cargo truck...
rear-ended one another near the bus terminal,
- causing this traffic jam. - So the heavy traffic continues.
Due to this accident,
many of the passengers have gotten injured.
We're having a lot of accident news reports today.
Drive carefully.
Have you been waiting long?
You look so pretty.
If I'm so pretty, why did you dump me before?
I don't know.
How is your mom doing? Is her caregiver here?
Don't worry. Let's just go, Mr...
What did I call you before?
- Teacher. - Teacher?
After we got married, you just said, "Hey."
Hey. Where should we go...
today?
I've been thinking,
and why don't we go where we went for our first date?
It's sea!
Did you think I'd say that?
It's nothing special. Visiting the sea in the summer.
By the way,
if we came here on our first date,
what did we do here?
Well... We just looked at the sea...
and had some nice food.
This is strange.
It's a good memory for you,
but I don't remember a thing.
It's okay. We can just make some more good memories.
What should we do?
What should we do here?
Do you have any idea?
I hope...
we didn't chase each other or something.
- We did? - It was your idea.
Me? No way.
Gosh. You want me to jog your memory?
Hold on. Right now?
Well...
- Do you want to chase me? - No.
I don't think so. I'm not doing this.
- Stop it. - Catch me if you can.
I don't want to!
- Woo Jin. - No!
Catch me if you can!
Do you think I can't?
- It's cold. - Let me answer my phone.
Hello, Mr. Byun.
Why are you calling me on a weekend?
What happened?
- Wooseong went bankrupt? - I'm not sure.
What is going on?
It hasn't even been a week since we sent them our money.
Mr. Cha, call your father-in-law right now.
Okay. I'll call him.
It's driving me crazy.
I got stabbed in the back too.
I saw him yesterday,
and I didn't notice anything strange.
I had no idea he could betray me.
So you can't reach him either?
No.
I know he has another cell phone,
but that one is turned off too.
Mr. Lee.
I'm the one who introduced him to you, so I feel responsible.
But we've lent him a lot of money too.
The damage is huge.
We're holding an emergency board meeting.
It's a mess over here.
(KCU Bank)
So our branch manager...
was called to the headquarters?
Yes. He suffered all weekend.
He must be almost dead now.
I should have talked him out of it.
Without even any proper inspection,
Mr. Cha lent them the maximum amount of money.
The headquarters wouldn't let him get away with it.
So what will happen to Mr. Cha?
Will he be fired or something?
My friends at other branches were messaging me that...
our whole branch might close down in the worst case.
Why would you say such a horrible thing?
That's enough.
I know you guys are on edge, but let's not be mean to each other.
Not a day goes by without trouble.
Maybe we should do an exorcism or something.
I asked around, and it seems like...
Wooseong took out loans right before going bankrupt.
It was all planned out, and we were played by them.
Of course, we were.
The CEO of JK Group, Joo Hyuk's father-in-law, introduced him to us.
Who would have known this would happen?
Stop it.
Joo Hyuk's father-in-law lost a lot of money too.
Mr. Cha.
Joo Hyuk.
What should I do now?
What did the headquarter say?
I admitted cutting corners,
but they suspected that...
I pocketed some money.
"If I had pocketed even a dollar,"
"I'd kill myself here and now."
That's what I told them.
But they still didn't believe me.
They didn't.
How could they think...
I think I'm getting fired.
I'm meeting my future in-laws in two weeks.
My daughter is still in university.
What will happen to my family if I lose my job?
My wife...
can't make any money. She only spends it.
I'm so sorry, Mr. Cha.
I...
don't know what to say.
Hi, honey.
What?
No. It was nothing serious.
It was just a minor incident.
Banks deal with money. Things like this happen all the time here.
I've been working here for 30 years. I'll be fine.
Also,
people trust me.
So don't worry.
I'll be home early today.
Yes.
Go home when you're done shopping.
Don't spend more than 100 dollars.
Okay.
It was stupid of me.
I should have been more careful.
I shouldn't have introduced him to our branch manager.
I should have done due diligence.
Don't blame it on yourself.
Blame those who deceived you.
Gosh, that jerk.
He deserves to be struck by lightning.
I hope he'll choke on his food and die.
Don't feel too bad.
They had planned it all out. There was nothing we could do.
You and the branch manager were...
just unlucky.
These things happen.
No matter how hard you try to avoid a misfortune,
it feels like the whole universe pushes you...
towards it.
In a moment like that,
you just have to accept it.
When my dad passed away...
and I noticed my mom was acting strangely for the first time,
I had to do that too.
Joo Hyuk, take a look at this. Something is fishy.
What do you mean?
I was looking through...
their financial statements and the certificate of their seal.
The seal on the certificate...
doesn't match the one in their board meeting minutes.
(Certificate of Seal)
(Wooseong)
Maybe they fabricated all the papers too?
(Jason Lee)
Jason Lee?
I wired the money just now.
It will take about two days.
I think you should stay in Hong Kong for a while.
I don't think it's going to be as easy as I thought.
I will tell Mr. Kim...
to find you a place to stay, Mr. Han.
Yes.
Don't call me before I call you.
This wasn't my plan at the start.
I needed extra fund to establish a corporation.
I was going to return the money as soon as I get the deal.
But the deal got called off, you see.
What do you say? Can you close your eyes just this once?
I can't.
Then my branch manager will be blamed for everything.
So?
Are you saying you are going to expose to the world that...
Wooseong is JK Group's paper company?
Do you think you will be fine after that?
You are the one who introduced Mr. Han to your branch manager.
You must know well about our relationship.
They will surely question you.
They will think you were in it since the very start.
Will you be fine with that?
You will lose as much as me. You will lose everything.
(Where are you?)
(Cha Joo Hyuk)
Joo Hyuk?
What are you doing? Did you forget the password?
What's wrong? What happened there?
Is JK Group really involved?
- Is it? - Jong Hoo.
I will...
I will tell you everything later.
All right. You can do that.
Mr. Cha.
Joo Hyuk.
Cha Joo Hyuk.
Did he go out to exercise?
My branch manager holds no responsibility for what happened.
The chairman of JK Group...
introduced Mr. Han to me,
and I introduced him to my branch.
Then...
(Cha Joo Hyuk)
Yes.
All right, sir.
I will go in shortly.
- Mr. Byun. - Yes, sir.
How can this really happen?
What happened? Did something happen again?
- My heart is pounding again. - That's not it.
It turns out Wooseong is JK Group's paper company.
JK Group was behind all of this.
Darn it.
No way.
My gosh.
You know that what you are saying is...
very unconvincing. Right?
As a staff of Loans Team,
I admit that I missed the error in the documents.
I will gladly be punished for that.
But I cannot admit that I was involved in this incident.
Mr. Cha, you are the son-in-law of JK Group's chairman. Family.
You simply introduced him to your branch without knowing anything?
Do you think that makes sense?
Who would buy that?
Right now, I...
- I... - The follow-up management team...
of the headquarters...
started taking the legal action.
They will be investing the branch with the prosecutors.
Do you know how much damage this illegal loan incident...
has incurred to the company?
There's been financial damage as well as damage in our credibility.
How will you take responsibility for all of those?
Go get all the loan application documents from the past six months.
All right, sir.
(KCU Bank)
What about the inspectors?
Did they go?
They are going through the branch manager's room.
We have to open the back soon,
so I guess they will leave soon.
If Joo Hyuk was here, they would've taken his panties too.
Right. For nearly 10 years,
he's been working so hard, doing overtime all the time.
All that hard work became nothing over night.
Do the headquarters think...
that Mr. Cha had a part in this?
I think so, seeing what they are doing.
No way. That's ridiculous.
But he's the son-in-law of JK Group's chairman.
Why didn't he know about this?
My gosh.
You've been working with him for years.
And you still don't know about him that well?
Has he ever bragged about being the son-in-law of JK Group?
Yes, he has a few times.
But he wouldn't do such harm to the branch manager...
or to our branch.
Don't we know that the best?
I know that he wouldn't do something like that.
Yes.
Do you think Joo Hyuk didn't think he was going to get suspected?
He knew, and yet he still came clean.
For the branch manager and for our branch.
Stepping on someone when someone had fallen...
is like saying he should die.
You have to have more faith when he's not in a good place.
- Aren't I right? - You're right.
By the way,
I don't know if I can say this.
I overhead Mr. Yoon talking to his friend.
And he said Mr. Cha recently got divorced.
- What? - Really?
But if he tells everyone about it now,
he will be suspected even more for faking the divorce.
I can't believe this.
My gosh. It must be so tough for Joo Hyuk.
Why do bad things all come at once?
JK Group betrayed Joo Hyuk head-on.
What will Joo Hyuk do now?
Right. He got divorced, and this happened too.
Is there anything we can do to help?
We can't just sit and watch.
I don't know...
how helpful it will be.
(KCU Bank Free Speech Board)
Mr. Cha Joo Hyuk of Gahyun branch is...
an exemplary staff who even received...
an award from the headquarters.
He is very diligent.
Mr. Cha is innocent.
Firing Mr. Cha is unfair.
He always speaks and behaves politely.
He is a righteous person who would never plan an illegal loan.
Mr. Cha of Gahyun branch is innocent.
From what I've observed,
he would never plan something...
that would do harm to the company.
Mr. Cha is diligent.
Considering KCU Bank as his lifetime employer,
he works very passionately.
He is a perfect employee.
(Mr. Cha of Gahyun Branch is innocent.)
(Mr. Cha is also the victim of this incident.)
On the day the loan was approved,
the three of you met at a restaurant.
What did you three talk about that day?
- You planned it together, right? - No, we didn't.
I went there because I thought it was just a dinner.
But Mr. Han was there.
And he said he needed a loan, so immediately took him to my branch.
That's really everything.
Hello, sir.
I am Team Manager Byun Seong Woo from Gahyun branch.
Do you remember me, sir?
Mr. Byun, what are you doing here?
I came because of the loan incident that happened in our branch.
There's actually been a misunderstanding.
We came up with this documents.
- Please read them. - Please read them.
Please help us.

You're Mr. Cha Joo Hyuk, correct? I'm a prosecutor.
CEO Lee Byeong Geol, the chairman of JK Group...
and the Korean Enterprise Association...
is currently being investigated for having taken out an illegal loan...
of 12 million dollars from a commercial bank.
The prosecution's investigation...
has found that he founded a paper company before closing his business,
and manipulated his company's overseas sales numbers...
to fool people into believing that his company was doing well.
He received a loan of 12 million dollars from KCU Bank...
with the intent of filing for bankruptcy.
The prosecution plans to summon and investigate Mr. Cha,
an employee of KCU Bank and Mr. Lee's former son-in-law,
as a witness to aid with this case.
Here is the next news story.
Wolf, a star which is 68 light years away from Earth,
is quickly dying and is turning into a black hole.
No, Mom. It's not true.
He's just being interviewed as a witness.
He's not going to jail.
Stop crying already. It's not like Joo Hyuk died.
Of course, Father-in-Law.
That definitely won't happen.
It's your dad.
- Yes. - Yes.
And I won't let...
that happen to Joo Hyuk.
No.
He's just being investigated as a witness.
A witness. A witness.
I didn't say "storage space".
I said "witness".
He'll be released after they get his statement, so don't worry.
- Yes, yes. - No, there's no need to cry.
Don't get too upset. You'll hurt your back again.
- Yes. - All right.
Yes, don't worry.
Bye, Mom.
Yes.
Hurry up.
Hang up, Dad!
(8:51pm, 24 degrees Celsius, August 31st)
How long has it been since...
the disciplinary action meeting began, Mr. Yoon?
Exactly 30 minutes.
The results should be out by now.
Gosh, why am I so nervous?
Why can't they hurry up and tell us? They're making me so anxious.
Yes, this is Cha Bong Hee.
Yes.
Yes, I understand.
What did they say? What are they going to do?
Please, please, please, please.
I'll get my pay cut for three months.
I see.
And Mr. Cha is fired.
I was the only one who survived...
and I couldn't save Mr. Cha.
What is this? Seriously!
They used him so much for ten years,
and can't even let him off the hook once?
They think of employees as family? What a joke.
Who throws family away like that?
I'm sorry, Joo Hyuk.
I'm the one in the wrong here.
You have hereby been fired.
Hurry and pick out your gum.
Woo Jin told me not to buy you any.
In exchange, you can't just stick it anywhere, okay?
You picked one? Goodness.
You're eating ramen today, I see.
Well, you told me to.
I must have the worst sense of timing in the whole world.
Right?
I came to give you my regards.
I won't come by anymore.
Do whatever you want.
I finally realized...
what kind of person I truly am.
I must be quite unlucky.
Not only do I make myself unhappy,
but I make everyone who is in my life unhappy too.
Is this all happening...
because I said that I'd be severely punished?
I said that, and then I forgot.
And then I got selfish again.
That must be why I was cursed.
("Death of Star, Birth of Black Hole")
Not everyone is capable of realizing their own mistakes.
You still have a chance...
to make everything right again.
And today is that day.
("Death of Star, Birth of Black Hole")
No.
I don't want to.
I don't want to become even more shameless.
And..
I'm too scared to do it.
You're crazy.
You were so desperate to go back before.
Won't you regret this?
Did you... regret it?
All right.
All right, Mr. Ha. Give me a call...
if you hear from Joo Hyuk.
I know, right?
Yes, yes, thank you.
He didn't hear from him?
He asked everyone who is close to him...
Why do you keep crying? Has someone died or what?
But I can't help it.
Where is...
Joo Hyuk?
Didn't you say you'd never see him again?
We're family, so how can I abandon him?
Can you do that?
Joo Hyuk isn't having a bad idea, is he?
Shouldn't we report to the police?
How many bridges are there in Seoul?
Hey, stop it. You might jinx it.
It's just because I'm worried.
Is Woo Jin still looking for him alone?
I think so.
It's like finding Mr. Kim in Seoul.
How will we be able to find him in this big city?
I know. It must be hard alone.
Hold on.
The person you're calling isn't available.
Please leave a message after the beep.
Mr. Cha. Where are you right now?
I'm worried like crazy,
so please call me.
Or at least, text me.
It's been recorded.

Mr. Cha. Where are you right now?
I'm worried like crazy, so please call me.
Or at least, text me.
Stop it.
Woo Jin.
Mom.
Why did you wake up?
Mom, I have to go somewhere right now.
I'm sorry.
Let it slide just for today.
I really have to go right now.
I'm really sorry.
I know you have to go.
Take this with you.
You'll need this more than I do.
2006...
Mom.
Everyone has a moment which they want to turn back.
It's not sure they'll go the way they want...
or they can do as they want.
But still, chances don't come so often.
By any chance,
did you...
Go. You don't have enough time.
Mom.
What are you waiting for? Time is running out.
- Mom. - Go already.
Now.
Go.
Honey.
I did a good job, didn't I?
If I had been a little faster,
I would've been able to save you then.
Woo Jin is faster...
and smarter than me,
so she'll be able to change it as she wants,
right?
Hey!
- Woo Jin. - Come here right now.
What do you think you're doing? Come out already.
Jerk. Are you trying to kill yourself? Are you crazy?
How could you do such a foolish...
Woo Jin. I won't die.
How can I die?
I won't do such a foolish deed ever again.
I won't die.
Do you know how worried I was?
Why do you put me into trouble so much?
I put you in trouble again in the end.
I did in the end.
It's okay. It's nothing.
You got fired from work, so what?
There are so many other works to do.
Things might be hard for you right now,
but you've got me.
We can do anything together.
No.
I won't.
You keep suffering if you're with me.
You might become unlucky like before.
So leave me and go.
Just run away from me while you can.
What nonsense are you talking about?
When you smiled most brightly in your life,
I wasn't there with you.
I realized I was the shadow of bad luck to you.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry to death.
Let's...
stop here.
No.
I won't go alone.
I wouldn't have come here if I was going to leave alone.
No, leave me.
Let's go together. Let's put up with it together.
I said go.
Go.
Leave me alone!
Fine.
If that's what you want,
I'll travel back in time and change the past again for us.
Chances don't come so often.
If that's what you think,
I'll travel back in time and change the past again for us.
Chances don't come so often.
Woo Jin.
(Your life can change too. Get a fresh start.)
(Jangwon)
It's here.
And when the dawn comes again, you'll never forget...
I think summer is the most romantic season.
You better not go to sleep at a time like this.
(Jangwon)
Please.
You've gone off course.
Joo Hyuk!
Open the door, or I'll break it down!
Gosh.
Joo Hyuk, open the door right now!
Joo Hyuk!
You're up.
You slept in the living room. Was it too hot last night?
Hurry up and get ready for school.
You'll be late.
Unbelievable.
