(1st College Music Festival, 1977)
Why do you want to buy my soul?
We don't want to buy your soul.
You have a reason you must sell your soul to us.
Think yourself, one by one.
Why must I become another version of me...
at the expense of selling my soul?
I can't take it back.
I can't change the terms.
I can't die either.
If I do nothing,
I'll become a devilish human.
(Final Episode)
But I won't become a devil.
I will only become a devilish human.
A devilish human is still a human.
Choosing to sign a contract with the devil...
was my choice in the end.
(1st College Music Festival, 1977)
It was my choice that brought upon this situation.
- Find a solution. - Find a solution.
- In our own way. - In our own way.
(1st College Music Festival, 1977)
The only thing that can get us out of this situation...
is my will and choice.
This is it.
(To Seo Dong Cheon. 10-year contract expires in 3 days.)
(To Seo Dong Cheon. 10-year contract expires in 2 days.)
You are Soul Entertainment and Soul Entertainment is you.
Sorry for not sitting up straight.
There's a boil on my bottom.
You should get it looked at.
It's bad if it festers.
How many days ago did you fire me, Director Kim?
Pardon? Oh, well...
We fell for Lee Chung Ryul's lies.
It was our mistake, and we feel terribly sorry.
You should.
Think of all the money I made your investment companies.
Thank you.
Help us out, CEO Ji.
We'll leave you to it, CEO Ji.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
It's only until things are sorted out.
Only until everything is sorted out,
I'll be the CEO.
That's great.
Don't just stand there. Get to work.
- Yes, Ms. Ji. - Yes, Ms. Ji.
Go.
Star composer Ha Rip confessed to plagiarizing...
and announced his retirement.
I found out much later and still turned a blind eye.
I knew it was wrong, but couldn't ignore the sweet temptation.
I gave up my conscience...
in the name of inspiration.
What I did was take the soul of another.
I know that no excuse will earn me forgiveness.
To those who lost their future...
and dreams because of me,
I want to apologize sincerely, from the bottom of my heart.
I apologize also to the musicians who suffered.
I'll accept...
all legal responsibilities for my actions,
and...
What's wrong?
Seo Young.
The copyrights will be returned to their rightful owners.
Now I'll give up everything I enjoyed...
and step away from music.
Do you have to do this?
They might not all be copies.
Yes. Some of my work might have been all mine.
But it doesn't change the fact.
It's an excuse, but I made music for 10 years,
and you made Ha Rip.
Ha Rip is your everything.
I changed your life.
The people whose lives I changed over the past 10 years.
I couldn't ruin all that.
So I hesitated.
But I must wrap this up...
for your soul to settle.
- You scumbag. - Seo Young.
I'm sorry.
You did so well.
Thank you. I mean it.
(Song and lyrics by Kim I Gyeong)
Your past, your music, your soul.
I'll give it back to you.
It's so easy.
He did the same for everyone else.
A lawyer will call you.
All the copyright fees and profits Ha Rip made...
will go to you.
It had better.
You know my new account details.
Wire it to that one.
Did he say he feels better now?
I don't know.
I can't guide you anymore.
From now on, you should go to that place...
by yourself, okay?
Okay.
- Thank you. - Bye-bye.
You chose to come to the desert? How creative of you.
You haven't disappeared yet?
Obviously.
Are you here on a picnic?
Why would you wear a suit to the desert?
I'm not sure if I told you this.
The first guy that signed a deal with me fled to the mountains.
I had to go through a lot to find that old man.
I thought you would've done the same thing.
I wandered the Himalayas for two days.
I almost froze to death. It was so darn cold.
Is that a joke? Why can't the devil find a human being?
So tell me.
This is what you chose to do?
It feels really weird.
My soul's going to disappear soon,
but I finally feel like I found my soul again.
It's all thanks to you.
Thanks, you darn devil.
You're going to run away without even keeping your promise?
What about my fan meeting?
Let me tell you the truth.
You'll never be able to sing properly...
because you don't know the emotions of humans.
I guess you could pretend like you're good,
but it'll just be an empty sound.
Music is all about putting your soul into it.
It's about awakening your soul...
and touching other people's souls.
You scammed the devil?
Yes, I tried imitating your favorite pastime.
I've been scamming you all along.
It was quite fun to do.
What made you come this far?
I'm going to keep walking that way.
I can act all devilish there.
I can do all sorts of bad things there.
But no one will be there to badmouth me...
or get hurt because of me.
Hey, you should leave. I'm busy.
Just go.
There's one thing...
that I really couldn't understand with humans.
Humans are so selfish, but they always become selfless...
when their loved ones are put in danger.
In my personal opinion, the devil and the deity...
are no different from each other.
But one thing is for sure. I, Ha Rip...
No. I, Seo Dong Cheon,
will never let you guys have it your way.
I'm going to make my own judgments...
and put that into action.
I'm going to rebel every chance that I get.
That's how I'm going to live.
- A tardigrade. - Yes, I looked that up...
after Mr. Kang mentioned it to me last time.
You probably think humans are no different from tardigrades.
You can think whatever you want.
I'm not going to live the life that you guys have...
planned out for me.
Okay, that's enough.
Are you here to collect my soul?
I'm here to collect your soul.
That's my last mission.
You're cruel until the very end.
Is this the end?
You can go over there and act all devilish...
or become the worst psychopath the world has ever seen.
It's really the end now.
It was nice meeting you, my friend.
I don't know if you'll disappear or get incinerated.
But I wish you all the best,
you darn devil.
This is it?
Is this the best you can do?
Give me something stronger! Go ahead!
No, I'm sorry.
Never mind. I didn't mean that. I'm sorry!
I said, I'm sorry!
A strong wind started to blow,
and this is where...
Ha Rip's story ends.
Ms. Ji, Mo Tae Kang's having a fan meeting.
And he really wants you to be there.
Sang Hui, are you sure you told me the right location?
No one's here.
If I go to Busan
Will I get to see you again?
You used to greet me
As your hair was being blown by the wind
Busan Station
Has changed a lot
I don't know where to go
Now that you're no longer here
I climbed up Dalmaji-gil Road
Without any plans in mind
But all I see is the sea that we saw together
And all I remember is how we used to love each other
It's as if time just stopped
Let's go back to the past hold each other's hands
And walk side by side
Just like we did back then
You're really not him.
Farewell.
I don't even know your real name,
so I'll just say...
goodbye.
Farewell.
If the souls are floating about the world,
couldn't the humans' desperation and will...
also bring them back?
You're letting your useless hope take over again.
Humans need hope to live.
Let me...
free you weak humans.
Don't think...
I'm forgiving you though.
It's not because I feel sorry for you.
I am...
exhausted, that's all.
I am not done with my revenge.
It's just not forwarded at you anymore.
I...
am ready.
Don't contemplate, traitor.
You may not be recognized as you once were...
when you could shine...
and stand in the sky upright with dignity.
That privilege ended when you gave up...
being good.
Now, you will pay in accord with your sins...
at the dark and abominable place of execution.
Whatever. Just what exactly is my punishment then?
- Ceasing to exist? - The seventh pit of torture.
It's not the worst then.
Will life get easier for you once I'm gone?
Do you believe that the outdated laws of above...
will keep order forever?
How can you be sure that another Ryu will betray you again?
My name is Ryu...
and so is yours.
Always, be grateful.
Grateful for what?
You will not be exterminated...
because our leader sacrificed his life.
I know my sins.
However,
I'm sure he'll know that it wasn't my intention...
to go up against him.
What leader? What sacrifice?
It's why you've been sad.
The deity must believe that he won this game.
You are not locking me up.
I just lost interest in this world, that's all.
It's the only reason why I'm vanishing.
- Stand up, Ryu. - Remember the last war?
Not only the devils but also the angels took a stand.
The mistake began when the deity failed to exterminate us all ...
back then.
- He never makes mistakes. - He already did.
He's getting anxious and is being inconsistent.
There are still many others who will try to challenge him.
Maybe.
Do you really think you can stop me?
Between you and me, I always win.
That's when we were both young.
Since then, mountains have formed...
and seas have parted.
Scary, right?
What a bunch of losers.
I now remotely understand this free will that humans have.
However, the deity's will is something I still can't grasp.
If he wishes to lock me up there forever,
he should take great security measures.
Even the pits of torture need an upgrade once in a while.
Are the chains really necessary?
- They're heavy so... - Put them on.
Seriously?
Are you a newbie?
Gosh. Hold this with me, will you?
Isn't it enough that I'm going willingly?
Okay, let's go.
The deity loves you.
As if.
2019, case number 110088.
Professional negligence resulting in death,
professional negligence resulting in bodily harm,
the violation of fairness in advertisement,
and fraud with special circumstances...
are sentenced as is.
(Judge)
(Contents of the Verdict)
Today, I will only read the contents of the verdict.
(Judge)
Here is the verdict. The accused Lee Chung Ryul...
(Judge)
(Counsel)
(Prosecution)
(Judge)
The accused Lee Chung Ryul will serve a sentence of 214 years.
- What? - What?
The accused Kim Jung Seok will serve...
- a sentence of 209 years. - How many lives do I have?
- The accused Hwang Seok Jun... - I don't live forever, you know.
182 years.
I know what this is. He's a devil too.
Here he comes!
Judge, how does 218 years even make sense?
Is this what you had planned all along?
This is your first case since your reinstatement.
Any comments regarding your ruling?
My ruling today...
will not stick.
My actions today will not have any legal ground.
Where there are victims, there are perpetrators.
Erasing memories don't wash away the pain.
The pain...
of the victims isn't something we can erase.
I just wanted to apologize.
I wanted to apologize for forgetting...
and for running away like a coward.
I'll start by bowing to the victims...
and to the families who had to suffer...
because of past rulings.
A brave society that can apologize sincerely...
and one that never forgets the suffering victims...
is what I truly wish for.
Then is this your way of saying that your past rulings were wrong?
Is this a show you put on just to apologize?
Do you drink often, sir?
Do you smoke?
- Please say a few words. - Hold on.
Sir, please answer us.
- Your Honor! - Judge Jung!
(Letter of Resignation)
Judge Jung, you humiliated us all.
What on earth was that stunt you pulled of?
Also, who's supposed to clean up the mess you made?
History always begins...
with someone cleaning up another's mess.
Take care, sir.
Hey...
- Hello. - Yes, Mr. Choi.
Welcome. So, you want to become a judge?
Yes. I'll serve the law and justice.
- Your first wish. - A judge. I want to be a judge.
Wish number one. Become a judge.
I'll do my best.
- Ra In. - Si Ho.
What brought you here?
Wow. You look good.
- I came to say goodbye. - You're going somewhere?
I'm going to Hollywood next week.
Hollywood? On a trip?
Don't you even watch the news?
The drama I was in last year, "My Darling Youngest Brat"...
totally impressed a famous American director.
What famous director?
Um, Jack...
Was it Brown? Or Blue? It was a color.
I forgot. He was on a Korean TV show.
That's not the point.
He said my acting is...
the most unique and elegant in the world.
Poor acting is now accepted as art.
I'm practicing hard to try to act poorly.
Poor acting requires practice?
I'm happy for you.
I was worried about you.
It's good to see you've found your calling.
Si Ho. You need to pull yourself together.
There's no Ha Rip to mold you...
or Ms. Ji to care for you.
You're on your own now. But it's not the end.
What you like. What you're good at.
Do that.
I owe it to my soulmate.
- Mr. Jang? - Yes?
I have to go. Congratulations. You'll do well.
- Good luck. - Thanks.
I have to go. Let's go.
(Jang Choon Gon Singing Academy)
Let's sing in a happy voice and clap as well.
Every single one of you here is in your teens again, okay?
Raise your right hand.
Go away, old age, go away, old age
Age isn't a problem
Today is the youngest I'll ever be
Bad. I'm in a bad mood.
You can't skip a fan meeting. You're always in a bad mood.
Fans?
People who curse at me like this are my fans?
How's the lawsuit coming on? I won't forgive anyone.
The lawyer said they aren't hate comments.
They're more like concerned advice.
Saying my music has changed is concerned advice?
You really have to go. You're late.
Sure.
I'll repeat myself like a parrot, smile,
and sing the same old song.
- I Gyeong! - I Gyeong!
I Gyeong!
[VIU Ver] tvN E16 'When The Devil Calls Your Name' "The Last Two Days" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
If everything went the deity's way,
that would be too futile.
A human's free will...
must have a use.
Thank you.
This will be very sudden,
but I think today...
will be the last time we meet.
- No. - Why?
Don't do this.
I don't think this flashy life...
as a singer suits me.
- No! - No!
You shower me with love...
that I'm undeserving of.
I want to go back to how things were.
I want to sing in the street...
whenever I like.
From now on, you won't have to wait for me.
I'd like my songs to come to you.
Okay.
- We'll wait. - Okay.
- We'll wait. - We'll come.
Finally, I'll sing my first original song.
It's "My Song".
Pieces of my thoughts
I gather them with my feet
Are my fingernails too long?
I can't pick up a single one
Yellow balloons in the sky
I turn on a light and sit
On an unexpected trip
Did I meet a friend?
What shall I say tomorrow?
Shall I say my age?
You're young, you don't know, don't
I'm not an immature child
Shall I share how I feel?
Shall I tell my story?
Despite sadness, smiles, pain
I'm still happy
They don't know anything
They say I'm doing well
We'll be on your side!
- We'll be on your side! - We'll be on your side!
While climbing the stairs
I counted the steps
On the 18th stair
I suddenly stopped
My lips faltered
Did I find something?
What was only mine
What belonged only to me
I'll sing you this song
I'll sing you my song
The song I tearfully memorized dozens, hundreds, thousands of times
I'll sing you my song
I'll share you my heart
The song you can only hear when your heart is open
Knock on my heart
Then your heart will open, my soul
Shall I say my name?
Shall I say my age?
You're young, you don't know, don't
I'm not an immature child
Let her keep singing. She has to go on singing.
Can you do that?
Despite sadness, smiles, pain
I'm still happy
Knock on my heart
Then your heart will open, my soul
I guess this is the end.
(Mutual Termination Agreement)
Thank you, Ms. Ji.
There's no need to thank me. I'm done here too.
(CEO, Ji Seo Young)
By the way, take this.
I wondered if I'd ever get to give this to you, but I'm relieved.
I've been keeping it with me for a year.
It's been a year already?
Producer Ha trusted you.
But it was my job to wait.
She'll come back.
I trust that she will.
When she comes back,
please give her this.
Thank you for not making me wait for too long.
You knew?
Not the whole story. Just the essentials.
Thank you.
- Where's your car? - I should take the bus.
I'm jobless now, so I should save money now.
Where are you going to go?
I'm going to take a break for now.
I'm going to go on a trip...
and think about what I really want to do.
Don't forget to call me when you come back.
- Thanks. Go on. - Okay.
I worked so hard for 10 years,
but this is all I have left.
I'll see you again one day.
Okay. Have a safe trip.
(Kelly, please take a look!)
(Seo Dong Cheon's demo)
Kelly, I trust that you'll be able...
to read this letter one day.
I came to Korea to find my dad,
but I was able to meet a lot of new friends.
Kang Ha's always funny,
but he has a very weird sense of humor.
Dong Hee has such a kind heart.
And the people at Soul Entertainment feel like my family now.
But among all of them, you were the best.
Microhabitat.
You were my silver lining.
So I hope you never forget...
that we all have our own silver lining in life.
Don't think your misfortunes will last forever.
Don't try to fight the cruel misfortunes all on your own.
We all have a friend...
that will always be there through thick and thin.
Mr. Seo.
I might not be by your side at the moment,
but my heart is always with you.
And I'll come running the moment you ask me to.
I trust that you'll return to your old self one day.
And I also trust that we'll get to meet again.
I hope you remember me until then.
I saw a guy who looked similar to Ha Rip at the fan meeting.
But it can't be him, right?
It was probably a lookalike.
If he was going to come back, he wouldn't have donated everything.
He gave up all his copyrights and donated the rest of his money...
to the Children's Heart Disease Foundation,
the Child Abuse Prevention Center, and the Single Mothers Organization.
What are you doing here cleaning at this hour?
You saw it, didn't you? You saw it, right?
No, I didn't see anything. And there's nothing to see.
I guess you didn't see it.
You didn't see it.
What should I do? He caught me.
You need to stay strong, I Gyeong.
It's time for you to negotiate your wage.
Oh, I forgot to tell you something.
The blue notebook and the CD belong to you.
You're going to accept it now, right?
("The Day We First Met")
Why do you keep smiling?
What's this?
Is this like my daily bread?
Something that will help me earn a living while my soul's gone?
I was being considerate as someone who's been through it already.
Give it back if you don't want it.
I Gyeong, all you ever wanted...
was to let people hear your songs.
You wrote so many amazing songs,
and you can make songs...
that are even more beautiful from now on.
Where are you right now?
I miss you.
Mr. Seo.
(A happy correction creates happy citizens)
The defendant was habitually abused,
she turned herself in,
and she deeply regrets her actions.
Therefore, I sentence her...
to two years of imprisonment and four years of probation.
You finally got released, Mom.
I Gyeong...
Thanks for hanging in there,
Mom.
Thank you.
Thank you, I Gyeong.
In the dark night
In the dark night, just for you
I will be the moon
When walking under the burning sun
I will become the shade
- Are you tired? - No, sir.
Don't challenge me again...
or I'll dig both your eyes out.
In the past year, you went from being the king of action...
to being the man of romance.
Your gaze has changed almost as if...
you're a different person.
Was there a reason behind this transformation?
It's not that I transformed.
I'm just back at what I do best now.
I was born with a knack for romance, you see.
I'm kidding.
It's because of a certain person.
It was only after...
that I figured out how selfish I had been.
Every relationship needs good communication.
Unless you put in the work,
love is the same as a flower that withers.
Did it end on a sad note?
No, it's not over yet.
I'm trying to have the flower bloom again.
No way. I'd rather renew my contract with Soul Entertainment.
You can talk about that with the new CEO.
I'd rather talk about it with you.
I thought it'd be rude not to say goodbye,
but now I'm regretting this decision.
Should we go on this trip together?
Must I answer that?
You'll decline, so don't.
I'm glad you know.
I'll wait for you.
There's something I realized while you were away.
Love doesn't work with one party pleading the other.
Loving someone is about just being there,
so let's keep our good memories.
Take care.
I said I'll wait.
I hope you're doing well,
you nameless being.
Could I ask for an autograph?
Sure.
You must be enjoying the series.
Well, take care, sir.
Because of that stunt, I can't even open up a law firm.
I should do what I do best.
Have you already forgotten how dazzled Dad was...
with my cooking?
As if. He only enjoyed it because he thought you were adorable.
Anyway, little sister, help me clean up the store.
I'm busy with mine, just so you know.
It's every man for himself.
But Hye Won...
(Kang Ha's Pasta)
Thank you.
Sure. Have a good day.
(Best Friend)
Oh, hi, I Gyeong.
(Kang Ha's Pasta)
(Mo Tae Kang)
Darn it. He really doesn't recognize me.
You're better off with romance. Action, my foot.
Romance is right up your alley.
Hiding won't lower your rent.
Business should bloom for me to pay more.
This is a symbiotic relationship.
A symbiotic relationship? Are we shacking up then?
Gosh, that's horrible.
Anyway, where's your conscience?
I brushed up this place that had been vacant for five years.
You should lower my rent,
not ask for more when I just opened it up.
Don't bother mentioning the rent. It's not why I'm here.
Ask me for more rent again and I'll take my business elsewhere.
Business has been slow,
so I've been considering a fish cake stand instead.
That's really not it, so hear me out.
You have a new landlady now.
And she wants more rent?
Gosh, I said that isn't the case.
She's a little angel and has offered to lower the rent.
Such tactics.
She'll then take over once business blooms.
You must've had a rough life. Just meet her for now.
Meet her? Why?
The landlady should meet her tenants, right?
She used to be a singer and is loaded.
Anyway, good luck. I'll get going.
Good, you're here.
I'll get going then.
It's been a while, Mr. Seo.
The landlady?
I bought the building.
I earned a lot of money, you see.
So what happened?
To me?
I almost died.
- How did you know... - Asian guy.
Big guy in a black suit.
He gave it to me.
Is this the end?
It's really the end now.
It was nice meeting you, my friend.
I didn't think I'd come back like this.
You donated all you had. How did you open a cafe?
My old house...
got redeveloped.
I got a hefty sum.
The cafe looks a bit...
Shall we redo the interior?
Fix it up and start over.
Together.
- Together? - Yes. As partners.
I need to earn a living.
I can't spend all I have...
and end up in a tiny room strumming my guitar in old age.
Did you say that to me?
I'll take 70, you take 30.
I invested more. No complaints, right?
What's this?
Sign it already.
(Kim I Gyeong, Seo Dong Cheon)
There, we both signed it.
Now grant me a wish.
A wish?
(Seo Dong Cheon's demo)
Sing this.
(Seo Dong Cheon's demo)
I quit music.
It's not something you can just quit.
You told me not to quit.
These are all your songs. Sing them.
If you want,
I'll put them together and release an album for you.
- Mr. Seo. - No.
What's wrong?
Are you angry?
It's a waste.
Let's talk.
No, wait. Don't come in.
Mr. Seo.
Go home. Let's talk tomorrow.
We'll talk tomorrow.
Mr. Seo.
Mr. Ha?
Mr. Ha.
Hi.
That psycho crazy devil jerk.
Everything he does is messed up.
He gave me my soul back.
He grew up and I'm grateful.
What's this? Can't I be Seo Dong Cheon or Ha Rip?
I need a conclusion.
So one day you're Mr. Ha...
and the next day you're Mr. Seo?
It was like that at first.
Now there are no rules or order.
I'm Ha Rip for three days,
then Seo Dong Cheon for one.
At first, I thought it was another one of the devil's tricks.
Then I wondered if the deity was being cheeky.
But it's really odd.
I become Ha Rip when I think of my days as him.
When I think of Seo Dong Cheon's days, I become him.
Your desires must still be alive.
You're just human.
Hello. We're Right Atrium and...
Left Ventricle.
This song's called "The Street You Left".
Please listen.
I'm alone in the street without you
I can't see your beautiful smile anymore
You were like a spring in a desert
In the end, it wasn't the devil's mistake...
or the deity being cheeky.
Your small voice made me laugh
I became Ha Rip when I missed Ha Rip.
I became Seo Dong Cheon when I thought of Seo Dong Cheon.
So this strange phenomenon...
is purely my will.
Come back to me
A long time ago, in the days that remain as a faded memory,
I was at the center of the world,
and the days were bright.
Before another season comes
Life was beautiful.
As time passes...
and memories that choked you...
caress your wounds and heal them,
they become fond memories.
I'll think of it as the devil's last gift.
In the end, the devil...
whispered at me to make a choice.
Now I'll make choices...
and that's my soul's final will.
This is my life,
and my life...
is to live as Seo Dong Cheon.
Well done.
I'll keep my memories as Seo Dong Cheon...
and live as him.
As someone's most precious...
first-grade soul.
