(Episode 1)
You, over there.
Yes?
What do you think you're doing?
Is something wrong?
I told you many times before the interview.
(No camera-flash)
Can't you see this?
Do you really not see it? Don't you see it?
Gosh, what's wrong with this camera?
Leave.
You're being kicked out.
Leave this room within 2.5 seconds.
An American cartoonist...
invented the Rube Goldberg machine...
in order to make people laugh.
It's a machine...
designed to perform simple tasks...
in an overly complicated manner.
Our lives are similar.
Perhaps...
we live our lives to reach a simple goal to die.
Maybe it's a sad comedy...
that's been intentionally tangled up.
For many years,
my husband and I...
complicated and ruined each other's lives.
(Petition for Divorce)
We'll reach a humorous yet simple result.
(Min Jae Hee)
Fashion isn't a tool to satisfy lookism.
It's unfortunate that fashion...
is being misused as a medium...
to show off one's wealth.
Fashion is a form of art with the longest history.
It's a way for one to express their identity.
It's advanced and philosophical work...
and a metaphor for life.
That's why the concept for today's show...
is death...
and birth.
There are many kinds of deaths.
For example, natural death,
suicide, accidental death,
and also capital punishment.
What kind of death were you inspired by?
You're ignorant about the creative process.
What a childish question to ask.
After being asked such a question,
I have a feeling...
I'll be inspired by murder today.
Death by murder is the most dramatic...
and creative way to face death.
What?
What is this?
Hey.
(Petition for Divorce)
(We...)
A final surprise party after a long research.
Although life was degrading and battered,
I wanted my death to be a fancy celebration.
How is that a celebration?
Auntie, I'm begging you. Get it together.
I know you hate your husband,
but murder is wrong.
I want to do a good deed before leaving this world.
The mere existence of trash like Kim Tae Joon...
is destructive to the environment.
Young and pretty things like you...
can't understand the pain of a loser like me.
Still,
you were the only person in this world...
who'd eat with me without complaint.
While fangirling you,
my wretched life wasn't tragic.
Please think of your fans,
and stay away from drugs, gambling, driving drunk,
and writing stupid things on social media.
Please keep your head on straight, okay?
Walk only on flowery paths,
my dear Min Suk.
Please look this way. To the right.
- Please look this way. - Over here.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hello. - Please look this way.
- Please look this way. - Please look this way.
Over here.
- This way. - Please look this way.
- Please look this way. - This way.
This way please.
There was a time...
when I was like that too.
Youth, future, and dream.
I had those things too.
I was as light as air.
There was a time when I sparkled with dignity.
I had that too.
Goodbye,
desires that are no longer mine. Goodbye.
Suicide is the most philosophical death.
But isn't death too dark of a theme for fashion?
Death in itself has no meaning or worth.
It's just protein being decomposed.
However, extinction is why a new birth awaits.
Entropy.
Outer space is comprised of chaos and extinction.
Death and extinction...
bring outer space another birth...
and potential.
For example,
thanks to the extinction of a useless life being,
outer space receives the energy therefrom,
and thus, the potential of the birth...
of a creative genius like myself...
is created.
What did you say? What gibberish...
Montague left us these words.
One who learns death shall forget the pain.
The realization of death shall free us...
from all of our shackles.
Where am I?
Did I die already?
How may I help you?
You're home after all.
- You have a package... - I don't need it anymore.
You keep it.
She doesn't need it anymore?
Kim Tae Joon and Min Jae Hee's...
beautiful parting.
Now that it's ending,
- No need to make it nice. - I reflect on...
our 17 years together.
I don't want to tarnish our beautiful memories.
Let's part ways beautifully.
That's good enough.
My husband will be home soon...
to drag me to Family Court.
I don't have much time.
We must both die today.
Who is it?
Look here.
I never ordered this.
You're Min Jae Hee, right?
Yes, I am Min Jae Hee, but...
Look at this.
There's no sender.
Who sent this?
There is no life...
that is without difficulties.
Regardless, those who are meant to meet...
shall meet eventually.
That brings meaning to our lives.
I'm a bit busy right now.
I'm in no position...
to listen to your philosophy on life.
If you're done, please be on your way.
Do not lose your courage.
Hang in there and be healthy...
until your time on this earth is done.
As long as you're alive, miracles may...
come to you. That is life.
Sure.
"A Mysterious Perfume"
(To Min Jae Hee)
(I'll come to see you today.)
What stupid idiocy is this now?
Is this really for me?
Maybe that Buddha man...
got lost and delivered it to the wrong place.
Who...
are you?
You're...
Min Jae Hee.
You're none other...
than me?
It's me!
Stop.
Stop!
I told you, the star of a fashion show...
is the clothing, not the models.
Is this a concert hall?
Bring that light down.
Bring me the storyboard.
Bring it to me!
How scary.
You...
Who are you?
I'm sorry?
I'm a part-time worker.
Go away.
- Go where? - Get out of my sight...
- in 3 seconds. 1, - What's the matter?
- Did I make a mistake? - 2, 3.
Get him out of here!
Let me go.
At least tell me the reason.
Why are you treating me like this?
It's not a dream.
It's been a while since I saw the top of my feet.
I never thought I'd see you guys again.
The moment I gave up on my life,
a miracle happened.
Why? How?
How did this happen?
Are you ready?
I'll be there in 10 minutes.
I need to stay hiding for a while.
I need to figure out why this all happened.
Jin Kyung, I'm borrowing a few of your clothes.
Something came up,
so I won't be home for a while.
Mole. Is the mole guy gone?
He's gone.
Even people with pimples were sent away,
so you can rest assured now.
We made sure to tell the hiring company,
but they didn't think too much about it.
I agree it's hard to believe.
Who in their right minds would be scared...
of moles?
Why are you talking like that?
I'm not scared of moles. It's trypophobia.
Do I have to repeat myself again?
I looked it up on the Internet,
and there's no such thing as a trypophobia.
Forget it.
Why am I even bothering with such dull people?
Did you find their replacements?
You should try it on.
Someone like you...
matches our brand's standard of beauty...
perfectly.
Our designer...
has a philosophy that pigs...
can't look good in anything.
- What did you say? - I'm sorry?
Did you say, "pigs"?
Are you comparing women to animals?
This is just a piece of cloth.
Why are you making such comparisons?
You shouldn't rank people...
according to appearances.
People came before clothes,
- all right? - Put this down first.
Are you serious?
Hey. Hey!
What are you going to do about this?
Well...
Do you know how much this costs?
I'll go with the 12-month installment plan.
This card is reported missing.
It says this card was reported missing,
ma'am.
That's impossible.
Where are you right now?
You're wrong if you think you can avoid me.
I had your credit card suspended,
so come back home while I'm being nice.
What a jerk.
I should've killed him today.
So, what will you do about this dress?
I'll buy it.
I'll come back within a week,
so please get it mended. Bye.
Wait.
How can I trust you?
Then, what do you want me to do?
Should I leave my ID with you?
Right.
(Min Jae Hee)
Who...
is she?
Well...
It's my mom's.
You can report her to the police...
if I don't come back for the dress.
Will that do?
Everyone! This is no time to be standing here!
Hey.
They need more hands at the show.
Just one of us will stay at the store.
Everyone else must head to the fashion show.
Move, move!
It means, hurry up and move.
Excuse me, miss.
- Ma'am? - Yes?
Gosh.
Did I do something wrong again?
Please be careful...
not to expose your mole.
Okay.
I'm sorry?
Did I pass?
Really?
Are you sure about using me?
You must be mistaken,
but the job is only for the day.
It doesn't matter. I passed the interview.
It's my first time ever.
This valuable experience will...
give me the courage to live my life.
You're my savior.
It is pretty tough to get a job, isn't it?
Especially for women who stopped working.
I wanted to become independent...
- and sent out resumes... - Ji Na.
- Hello. - How have you been?
- We've been well. - We've been well.
You got prettier after being Miss Korea.
You're always pretty.
We're going to look around.
- Thanks. Enjoy. - Thank you.
- Thank you. - Bye.
Oh no!
What's wrong? What is it?
There was a nail sticking out on this chair.
Take it off.
- What? - Take it off now!
You really are a genius.
This is much prettier than the long dress.
Oh no!
Hey!
Who are you?
I'm sorry.
(Episode 2 will air shortly.)
(Episode 2)
This can't be.
Get rid of this ghost.
What's wrong?
Those wicked eyes.
Those disgusting lips.
Those dirty nostrils.
Begone, you evil thing!
Begone! Now!
What... Sir. What...
Don't be too hurt.
This is your pay for today.
That's my lot in life.
I was rejected...
after 125 interviews just last year alone.
This is always how it ended.
May I get your autograph on my back?
I was a fan ever since you were a model.
Please make it nice and big.
I may be like this now,
but my childhood dream was to be a model.
Is there any way I can hide in the corner...
and just watch the rehearsal?
Go ahead.
Hey, display the lines correctly.
Are you an old, arthritic hag?
Change into these.
The lines don't look right.
I can't wear heels for the time being.
I recently had back surgery.
- I told you... - Really?
Do you want to go home?
From the top!
Oh no.
I knew it.
- What? - I was talking to myself.
Oh no.
Hey you, Seo E Do! I'll make you pay!
I'll kill you!
- She's in bad shape. - Get off of me!
Here.
- Take her quickly. Go. - I'll get you!
What should we do?
We should cancel, right?
Are you mad?
You know the Fashion Week judges are here.
But the main model is out. What choice do we have?
Where can we get a substitute now?
The show is set to begin in 30 minutes.
There's no time to adjust the dress.
There is one person...
who is the same size.
No, no. Never mind.
Not her. No way. Never.
Ever.
That man Seo E Do looks psychotic...
even on TV, but he's out of control.
That's what you get for being so difficult.
The fashion show is ruined.
Excuse me.
Thank goodness.
I looked all over for you.
Me?
Will you turn for me?
You said you were an aspiring model, right?
Do you have any runway experience?
Well, I did walk one just once.
For a friend's graduation fashion show.
Hey, are you ready?
- Yes. - Let's go.
Look up.
Let me apply some mascara.
She's driving me crazy.
What's wrong?
The back-up model won't leave the storage room.
- She won't come... - Out of my way!
Get up. The show starts in nine minutes.
I'm sorry.
I really can't do this.
I'm so scared.
What are you scared of?
The looks.
The looks from people...
who...
look at me like a garbage bag leaking food waste.
Those looks.
Get up.
Get up right this instant!
Open your eyes.
I said to open your eyes!
What do you see?
A coward...
with an inferiority complex.
Close your eyes.
However,
people...
call me the Beauty Alchemist.
I make even make the ugliest look pretty.
I can do that.
And now,
I'll make you the most confident model.
Don't see yourself from someone else's view.
Take a look at yourself with your own eyes.
Who...
Who are you?
I'm not food waste.
I'm Min Jae Hee.
Jin Kyung.
I did it.
Now, I can finally...
die in peace.
Please look this way.
Just a moment.
This outfit was made for another model.
How does it fit so well?
It's as if it was made just for you.
Only the finale remains now.
Can you keep up the good work to the end?
Yes.
I will really do my best.
Wait. What is that?
What's wrong with her?
Is she dead?
I'll go and check.
Excuse me.
I think she's sleeping.
- What? - Is she sleeping?
I see. She's sleeping.
But the show finished without much trouble.
You should be rather thanking her.
- What? - You spoke nonsense...
at this morning's interview again.
So people said you were glamorizing...
suicide and murder.
You were in trouble, but she took the blow instead.
And no matter how famous you are,
you never made it to the top five...
searched words on portals.
Seo E Do's fashion show's Falling Girl...
is the most searched word on portals now.
Am I that cheap?
Do you think I want to gain such cheap fame?
(Seo E Do Fashion Show Falling Girl)
("Falling Girl at Seo E Do's Fashion Show")
You seem so happy.
You actually enjoy getting attention a lot.
Why? What did I do?
But why did you hate her from the get-go?
Was she someone you knew?
I felt uncomfortable since I first saw her.
She resembles someone I hate so much.
People who look like that are cursed.
Anyway, will that girl be okay?
- You were too harsh. - I restrained myself...
from throwing her into the sea with cement.
An hour ago, there was a report...
of a woman in her 20s was found dead...
behind a building in Daechi-dong, Gangnam.
I'm here at the site.
A fashion designer, Mr. Seo,
held his fashion show here last night.
The police have been told that the dead woman...
was a model at that fashion show.
Their investigation is focused on...
how it is related to Mr. Seo.
What was that?
Yes. I can't find her anywhere. Yes.
She must've woken up and left.
Did you search thoroughly?
I searched thoroughly.
Why did you abandon...
someone unconscious on the streets?
You...
Nothing is going well because of that person.
It's bad luck.
I feel strong, bad luck.
(My Daughter)
Jin Kyung.
I'm your mom.
As you can see, your mom changed.
Gosh. Who would believe this absurd situation?
- Get off. - What is going on?
Who are you?
I'm his daughter. Who are you?
My gosh. Tae Joon.
- Is that true? - Hey, Jin Kyung.
It's nice to see my daughter.
You're having strange thoughts, right?
It's not what you think. I can explain everything.
I went home because I got a strange text,
and Mom is missing.
What happened?
You don't know where your mom is either?
She didn't call you either?
Did you kick Mom out...
- for this woman? - This...
Are you insane?
It's not like that.
Go on. Go.
I can't stay like this forever.
I'm sure Tae Joon...
will recognize me of all people.
That's right.
Let's go and tell him.
He needs to unfreeze my credit cards...
- What... - Wait for me.
Why are you going into our home, lady?
Are you out of your mind?
Look. I need to use the restroom, that's why.
I'll stop by for a minute. One minute.
She can go pee somewhere else.
Why are you so mean? Be nice.
Let her use the bathroom.
Why are you letting her into our home?
You're such a nag. Your skirt is too short.
Whatever.
Kim Tae Joon.
You jerk.
It's inside.
Just wait.
Why are you uncomfortable with her?
Are you kidding me?
- You have such a... - What's this?
What is that?
We died today.
Look. It says, "We died."
What is that?
What is all of this?
What a strange family...
Apartment.
Where's the bathroom?
That way.
What?
What is this?
- How would I know? - Get rid of it!
Gosh.
Your wife is missing, but rather than look for her,
you bring your mistress in front of your daughter?
I should throw you into a fryer...
then grind you in a blender.
Get out.
Tae Joon.
How...
How could you do this to me?
What did I do that was so wrong?
Tae Joon, you jerk.
"Fashion Model Jae Hee"
Hey, you. Why are you sleeping out here?
My gosh.
Why did I change back?
Was that all a dream?
(Seo E Do)
(Seo E Do Fashion Show Falling Girl)
(Falling Girl sleeps on the runway)
Die.
Die! You moron.
I should've just died yesterday.
Why did you crawl out and humiliate yourself?
How humiliating. Darn it.
Regardless, that means it wasn't a dream.
How did I turn back into my younger self?
Could it be?
I was right.
It's this perfume.
With this...
As long as I have this,
I can turn back into my younger self.
I can redo the life...
I had wasted.
What are you doing? Are you out of your mind?
I want to be a model.
- Hire me. - No.
Scram.
I almost died because of you.
Plus, my face is plastered all over the web,
so I can't get another job.
It's your fault.
Are you trying to intimidate me?
Do you know how much that fashion show cost?
I'm the one who should report you.
Then report me.
Then...
I'll tell the media that the designer Seo E Do...
dumped an unconscious model...
out on the street.
Are you threatening me?
Give me a break.
Hey. How...
did you know I was here?
10 minutes online, and I can find out...
without breaking a...
You want to try me, is that it?
I have nothing to lose anyway.
Let's see who wins.
Hello, netizens of Korea.
I am the person who has been...
trending the most yesterday and today.
The model from the Seo E Do fashion show,
the Falling Girl.
Why that...
Due to the shock and degrading experience,
I have lost all hope.
I plan to end my life now.
Still, since life is precious,
for one last time,
I went to Seo E Do and asked him...
to show me some mercy.
However,
he shunned me coldly...
and laughed at my face.
Turn off the camera. Put that away.
I barely climbed up the cliff of employment...
and fell into the ravine in an instant.
The only choice this loser has left...
is death. Nothing else.
- Hey. - Oh no!
- Oh no. - She's really doing it.
Someone stop her.
You need to save her life.
You look normal enough.
- But... That's not... - You need to save her.
- Hurry up! - Come on!
Do something. Save her! Hurry.
Hurry up!
She's going to die!
You're so mean! Save her! Come on!
My gosh.
Okay. I got you. Just get out right now.
Will you hire me?
I'm really desperate.
I'll hire you. I said I'll hire you!
- That's great. - That's such great news.
She got a job.
- This is great. - Congratulations.
Follow me.
Okay.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
It's a disinfectant harmless to humans.
Why is this place like this?
It was empty for a year.
Your job today is to clean this place.
Why? Why do you live in a hotel...
instead of this nice house?
Just.
Hotels are more comfortable too.
You must be on a blacklist.
No cleaners are willing to come here, right?
It's not like that.
I'm right. I knew it.
Make it look new until I get back from work.
Or else, you're fired.
Why did you bring a stranger to your house?
What do you mean?
I only used her desperation...
to make her suffer a bit.
I finally took revenge for a 17-year-old grudge.
Revenge?
Did you know her before?
No, I don't know her.
How would I know such a classless woman?
But you mentioned a 17-year-old grudge...
What was that?
Has the woman who entered this morning left?
Nobody left the house since you left, sir.
What?
She should've run away within an hour.
It's over.
I'm tired.
This is impossible.
Hey, Cleaner.
Where are you, Cleaner?
Not you.
Hey, Cleaner.
Where are you?
Cleaner.
Did you leave?
Hey, Cleaner.
Are you here?
Cleaner.
(Perfume)
There's only 28ml of the perfume left.
I think I can barely use it for a year.
I'll cook you three meals a day.
Just pay me 500 dollars more.
Did you decide to live with her?
Why would I live with her?
You had no intentions to hire me to begin with.
Let's forget this. I quit this lousy job.
Did you say your name was Jin Kyung?
I think you're pretty enough to be a model.
You must investigate someone for me.
Investigate everything about this girl.
Are you... Could it be?
You'll want to kill yourself...
if that gets released.
You...
Which planet did you come from?
