(Episode 1)
Why are you here at night?
Were you waiting for me?
I've been peering out for you for so long that my neck got longer.
I heard a very nice song.
I want you to hear before I forget,
so I rushed over here.
It's sweet and lethal.
"Sweet"? That's great.
- "Lethal"? That's great too. - Yes.
Shall I have a listen?
I have a friend who visits me occasionally.
When we discuss music,
I forget if the sun is rising or setting.
He takes a different form each time.
You know, back in the day,
I showed them what rock music is.
- One day, he's an old rocker. - It doesn't feel the same now.
So, have you listened to my music?
Of course I have.
- He's an over-reactive old man. - I played the recorder today.
And another day, she's a chatty little girl.
I don't know which is the true form,
but only when I'm cornered, at a cliff's edge, out of my mind...
does that person finally appear.
The friend that any artist yearns for.
This is what I call him.
Old man.
That's awesome.
Not everyone can meet the old man.
He doesn't come to everyone.
In that sense, I'm a very lucky guy.
(Music chart)
There's no twist, it's no fun,
and he's so arrogant.
I'm the main reason why our stock is so stable.
But you say it's no fun?
Let's see what might interest you.
Hey, would you like to wear a suit?
Good job, my baby!
Composers should be able to hear their songs in their heads...
before they actually compose them.
- Playing the guitar... - "Playing the guitar..."
- for every single note... - "for every single note..."
- is something that amateurs do. - "is something that amateurs do."
That's what Ha Rip wanted me to say.
Here's the Popularity Award for the 2019 Traditional Music Awards.
"Today's Youth" by Ha Rip.
"Music was like..."
- "a one-sided love for me". - a one-sided love for me.
- "I was very lonely". - I was very lonely.
But I feel like my love is finally getting acknowledged.
My gosh, you totally got me.
The Soundtrack Award goes to Ha Rip. Congratulations.
Background music?
I don't like that term to begin with.
A movie soundtrack...
is an independent factor in itself that has nothing to do with...
You'd better go to the awards ceremony.
Don't you want to win the award?
I like the award, but I don't like receiving it.
I need to thank them and act polite about getting it.
Why do I need to thank them? I'm getting it because I deserve it.
I never begged for the award.
The Grand Award for the 18th Children's Song Festival...
goes to Ha Rip who composed and wrote...
"With My Father", which was sung by Ko Eun Sung.
Congratulations!
"With My Father" is a song with pure and warm melodies...
and original lyrics that show how much...
a child loves his father.
Please tell us how you feel.
If my songs...
help kids have hope,
and if my songs allow kids...
to build dreams,
then that would be the main reason why...
I make music.
Okay, thank you. Once again, congratulations.
- The reason. - Okay.
I still don't know why I make music.
Actually, I don't even know...
if I make music so other people could...
- listen to it. - Give him a round of applause.
We will end the 18th Children's Song Festival...
by listening to "With My Father" one more time...
after we hand him the award.
We'd like to thank everyone for joining us.
(Study Room)
(Horowitz Music Award)
(2014 Korean Music Festival)
Someone filed a complaint again.
They want you to stop feeding the stray cat.
Don't let the cat starve.
And how is it a stray cat? It has a home.
You should care for me as much as you care for that cat.
You're the one who should be as nice as the cat.
I saved both of you from the street, but you're so different.
Even dogs wag their tails after about three years.
Oh, okay. Should I wag my tail for you?
I'm sorry. I wonder where my tail went.
You punk.
Where have you been?
Where were you all this time? Come here.
Where were you?
Don't wander around at night.
It's dangerous outside.
There we go.
What should I give you?
This looks...
(Liver and Gallbladder, New Song)
Let me tell you something.
I won every single award out there.
But you see,
I feel like someone gave me some homework to do.
And that homework...
(Notice of Payment)
is from a long time ago.
(The 10-year contract terminates in 6 days.)
(Your soul will be taken in six days. From Ryu)
So what happens if I sell my soul?
Do I die?
What are you doing here?
- Hey, Seo Dong Cheon. - I'm Ha Rip.
I'm not Seo Dong Cheon.
Get out of my house!
Hey!
(Seoul, in 2009)
You darn punk!
I heard your demo.
But it won't sell.
Can you give me back my demo?
Where's your mom?
Don't you have one?
I don't have a mom either.
Let's go.
I'm not even halfway there
I'm already stuck
In the darkness
Where's my dream that wishes to fly?
How far do I need to go
To find that dream
I keep calling for it
You darn punk!
At least give me my guitar case!
That thing costs a lot! My gosh!
Seo Dong Cheon.
What a lousy life.
I guess this is how my life is going to end.
I don't know if he's persistent or stupid.
Who listens to that kind of music these days?
Does he think he's Cho Yong Pil or something?
Seo Dong Cheon? I guess you're still making music. I'm impressed.
Are you the guardian? You can't be here, sir.
Please leave.
- No! - Get out!
- It's my music. - I've had enough!
Where am I?
Am I really dead?
I see you're up.
Add a little funk next time.
The song lacks flare.
(Seo Dong Cheon's demo)
How did you get this?
Why would you throw it out?
In the distant future,
this will be considered as a masterpiece.
People will have to get in line to buy it.
Were you following me?
Have I been kidnapped?
What would I kidnap you for?
You're nothing but old singer with no career.
You wouldn't be worth a penny.
Maybe I should've just taken you to the cops?
Well, since we got together like this though,
we should get some drinks first.
Where on earth am I?
I'm sure you know "Faust" by the literary giant Goethe.
Let me explain then.
To put it simply,
it's about a man who sells his soul to the devil.
That's why I'm sitting in front of you right now.
- What? - That's why I brought you here.
What I want from you...
- is your soul. - What?
From this moment on, whatever you want,
whatever that may be, will come true for 10 years.
It'll be as if you've become the Almighty.
In return,
you'll give up your soul when the contract expires.
I must be dead.
Life has surely gotten great.
We get to cross the Jordan River on an airplane.
You there, Mr. Grip Reaper,
just cut to the chase.
Am I heading into the light or down the fire pit?
Some suddenly turn their lives around
as if they've won the lottery.
Some live their lives boldly as if they can never fail.
Wrap your head around it.
Haven't you met such people before?
I have. A lot, actually.
Is what they achieved based solely on their competence?
Are you saying...
that they all sold their souls?
Here he comes!
Some are never criticized for breaking the law...
and some are never condemned for the crimes that they committed.
What if there was no need for you...
to try and be recognized?
What if you lived a life...
where people flocked to you like moths to a flame?
What if you lived a life that everyone envies?
That could be your life too, you know.
Give it some faith.
It'll only cost your soul.
Sell my soul?
Selling my organs would make better sense.
Mr. Seo, in order for this to be a scam,
you need to be worth something.
Are you telling me that you're the devil then?
It is how people address me.
They say I'm a devilish human.
I don't know what you're trying to pull here,
but all I have are my two balls.
Actually, I have two kidneys too,
so that you can have.
Even though I had nothing, I still had my pride.
Sell my soul?
You're bargaining with the wrong man.
Do you hate having money?
Will fame make you uncomfortable?
Let's say that this is true.
Why me though?
Why do you want my soul?
This isn't because we want your soul.
This is about you having a reason to sell your soul to us.
Just think...
about every aspect of your current life.
Is your soul worth selling if it can give you a new life?
Why? Are you afraid that it's stolen?
Well, it is.
Fine, I'll consider you dead.
Responsibility...
means nothing to you, doesn't it?
Responsibility?
Why must I be responsible when my parents never were?
I lived my life making sure that I never had to take responsibility.
My music is all I can be responsible for.
Although, even that hasn't worked out.
That money... Well, it just happened.
Please know that I'm not that kind of person.
I do.
Throughout the years,
I have devoted myself into music!
So what would you want us to do?
Let me rephrase that. Mr. Seo, what do you truly desire?
Okay, and?
I wouldn't have lived this way if money was never a problem.
It's a matter of pride.
The thing with money...
is that life is uncomfortable without it.
We should possess the very least to not have to worry.
That's too long. I advise you to keep everything...
under two syllables.
- Money. - Exactly.
In other words, you want to be rich.
(2. To be rich)
- And? - "Ahead of my time"...
or "an unfortunate genius"? As if.
It's just another way of saying that my music is bad.
Why won't people listen to my music?
I can't remember the last time I heard a cheer or applause.
Both are vital to a singer.
I wish to be a successful...
Right, you wish to be successful.
Well...
Yes.
There. Your wishes have been applied for.
Please sign.
Just like it says in the contract, it can't ever be annulled.
Don't forget that.
This slot is still blank.
You're a meticulous one, aren't you? Would you like one more option?
There are a lot of things I'd try if I were 30 years younger.
I'd experiment with music,
communicate with fans, and gain fame.
(4. Youth)
(Seo Dong Cheon)
Now, the process is complete.
Paramedics!
Slow and steady. Watch his neck.
Together in 1, 2, 3.
Stay with us, young man!
Stay with us!
This is the ER.
For nearly 60 years,
I had never achieved anything substantial.
I rarely took responsibility for anything either.
My life was nothing but an absolute failure,
so youth, talent, and wealth...
were more than just a gift.
I was given a life where I could take responsibility...
if I wanted to.
Some might say it's an opportunity.
Some might say it's luck...
that I was never fortunate to have before.
Whatever it was, I thought it was the deal of a lifetime.
However...
The 10 years he gave me.
The 10 years I was given to enjoy my life...
flew by faster than I expected it to.
I must now hand over my soul as per the contract.
I don't intend to give it up so easily though.
Never.
(Yeonsil Industries)
It took me 3 years to figure out who you are...
and another 5 years to find a way to beat you.
I will never give in to your demands easily.
My talent is mine,
so is my wealth,
and so is my soul.
Chairman Song!
Hold on.
Remember me?
You came prepared.
This isn't a relic from the Crusades, is it?
I spent my life savings to get a sword of Damascus...
made by the devil.
You'd better not do anything to me.
Only this sword can pierce the armor I'm wearing.
Do you think that makes sense?
I have to do something!
10 years. Time truly flies.
Do you have five days left now?
We're done talking. Everything's in here.
Every horrid, corrupt things you've done.
I see why you're called the devil.
Resistance.
It's only natural.
Humans find it very hard to give up.
But you gained what you wanted.
Not you must find something to give up.
No. I can't give up anything.
You give up.
This will end you.
You're insane.
I'm just like you.
I took out a contract.
My disappearing...
won't get you what you want.
Where are you going?
One day, on a passing breeze,
when you're reminded of the past,
that will be when you feel the lowest.
Even though you gave up your soul, for some strange reason,
your memories come back to you.
It's dangerous. Come back here!
After today, once again,
I will commit the heinous crimes...
you have proof of in that suitcase.
Papers? Prosecutors?
You can't stop him with that.
Goodbye.
No.
Annul my contract first.
Remember this.
You must see the end for it to end.
No.
No!
Yeonsil Industries' Chairman Song...
jumped to his death from the roof of his company's building,
shocking the public.
He'd been summoned by a prosecutor for 15 charges...
including inciting murder, bribery, and embezzlement.
According to prosecutors, a will was found at his residence.
In it, he asked for forgiveness...
for his foolish actions.
They will focus their investigations on suicide.
It's over.
He's dead and no one knows of this contract.
This nonsensical contract never existed from the start.
That fool killed himself...
because of his guilty conscience.
I have a clear conscience.
After all I did to get here.
I worked so hard to get here!
I worked so hard.
It's over. It'd done.
It's over. It's over.
Yo, bro.
You've peaked here. Move to America.
Yes, let's do a world tour!
Let's rack up some air miles!
Cheers.
Ha Rip!
Are you out of your mind?
You forgot the live broadcast? The exclusive interview?
I had something on my mind.
You had so much on your mind that you were in a club dancing?
You wait right here.
You have five days left. Five days.
What?
Enjoy it while you can.
After five days,
your life is mine.
Your blood, your flesh.
Even your soul.
I'll take it all.
No.
It's wrong.
It's impossible.
Here, drink this.
Stop looking around and drink.
- Hey. - Five.
4, 3,
2, 1, cue.
We interview people live here...
on Issue and People.
Today we'll talk to Ha Rip,
composer and producer, the Midas of pop music.
For spreading Hallyu,
you received a presidential citation.
Hey.
Hey!
I'd love to know just how wide your world of music is.
However, there are those...
who have a different opinion about...
the K-pop scene you're at the center of.
- No. - Are you saying...
you can't agree with that?
What?
A music critic wrote a column...
for a music magazine.
I'll read part of it for you.
"Ha Rip's music is like a layout of..."
"average Korean side dishes."
"He's not a specialist with a representative dish,"
"and he doesn't have a muse."
I didn't say that, so don't glare at me.
Did you hear about this?
Yes, of course I did.
They call me "master of a single dish".
It was put very bluntly,
- but there are many who agree. - What?
Don't composers all have...
what you call a signature?
A song that comes right to mind,
or a singer.
I'll say this here for the first time.
I've been working so hard that I think I need a turning point.
I'm preparing for a new experiment.
What experiment is that?
- Like... - What?
Releasing a new song each month?
Like Yoon Jong Shin?
Not like anyone else. Like Ha Rip.
I'm looking for a new singer.
I'll show you a muse that will remind you of me.
Not like a layout of side dishes but a representative dish.
- Do you like stewed pollack? - Yes.
I'll switch categories.
I still have a lot to show you.
Just a moment.
So, with your muse, a single singer,
you'll release a new song every month.
You just announced that on live television, right?
I guess so?
Ladies and gentlemen.
It looks like we unwittingly got an exclusive.
Once a month, with his muse,
Ha Rip will release...
a new song. That's his announcement.
- Hello? - You all...
- heard it here. - You saw the show.
I think it's good news for everyone.
I look forward to it too.
- It's Ha Rip. - Hey.
You made a sudden announcement.
- Any details? - How will you release the songs?
You made a disparaging comment on Yoon Jong Shin.
Would you like to explain that?
Excuse me. I'm coming through. Excuse me.
(Who is Ha Rip's muse?)
That hurt. Who was that?
(Si Ho's a side dish?)
(He got famous on his own?)
(He needs to crash and burn.)
(Are you the only composer? Make me your muse.)
First, let's find someone within the company.
To be your muse.
Yes. I'll quit making side dishes and develop something new.
Something new?
Won't you consider thinking...
and planning for once in your life?
The announcer asked leading questions.
Fine. I showed off a bit.
No.
That's what you really want.
For the past 10 years, you created music,
but I created Ha Rip.
Do you think I don't know you?
Whatever you're determined to do,
just don't do it.
I know you're going to help me achieve everything I plan to do.
You psycho.
Cut the nonsense and get lost.
Did you call for a chauffeur service?
- Yes, over here. - Hello.
- Are you okay? - What a relief.
I didn't get a nosebleed.
I'm okay.
My arm's fine too.
- Is it this car? - Yes.
Hello.
The address is saved in the navigation. Please drive safely.
Okay.
- See you. - Bye.
This is a University Music Festival Special.
This song won the Bronze Award at the first University Music Festival.
It's a song by Liver and Gallbladder.
- "Without You". - The radio rarely plays this song.
I feel so happy.
- I'm standing out in the street - I'm standing out in the street
- All by myself without you - All by myself without you
- I can no longer see - I can no longer see
- Your beautiful face - Your beautiful face
- You were like an oasis - You were like an oasis
- In the desert - In the desert
Your small voice
I wonder if I'm the only one
Who hasn't changed
The street lamp is the only thing
That shines on me
I'm standing out in the street
Where you're no longer here
The mountain birds
That sang all night
Are all flying away
- You were like an oasis - You were like an oasis
- In the desert - In the desert
- Your small voice - Your small voice
- That made me smile - That made me smile
- I wonder if I'm the only one - I wonder if I'm the only one
- Who hasn't changed - Who hasn't changed
Did I wake you up? I'm sorry.
I'll be quiet.
No, just leave it on.
Okay.
Sir, I'll be quiet.
You can go back to sleep.
That's it. Yes.
I've been living a really rough life.
I recently got my act together and started driving again.
So please help me live a quiet life.
Take your hands off me.
I'm warning you.
Please stay still.
People normally break a bone when they get beaten up by me.
- They break a bone? - What a relief.
A relief?
Hey, that's what I should be saying.
You should be apologizing for breaking my nose.
I'm sorry.
- But it was just self-defense. - What?
You threatened me while I was driving.
And I'm a woman, and you kept touching me like this.
You could get punished for that.
You deserve to be criticized for doing something so disgraceful.
I didn't touch you! I was just...
I'm sorry. There must be a misunderstanding.
That wasn't what I was doing. I was just enjoying the music.
I'm not that kind of person.
I'm really famous.
Do you know "Soul River" and Brian Punky Doll?
"The End of Today" by Kim Ok Ja.
Don't you guys watch TV?
Search "Ha Rip" on the web.
I know who you are.
- You know me? - Yes, I do.
I know very well that you're very famous.
Is my nose is bleeding?
No.
Hey, how do you know that song from earlier?
You seem very young.
What song?
The song that played earlier.
"Without You" by Liver and Gallbladder?
- I like them. - What?
I like their songs.
Not a lot of people know them.
But the bonus track in their first album is amazing.
It's really incredible.
It's the first time someone's ever said that in 40 years.
She just said exactly...
what I wanted to hear my entire life.
Why do you like Liver and Gallbladder?
Do I really need a reason for liking them?
That song is track number 11 from their bonus track.
It was very different from the songs that were popular back then.
It sounds like it's played with a minor key.
But it's very addictive.
Especially the guitar solo.
Yes, that's it.
If I had met a fan like you earlier, I would never have sold my soul.
But I really don't get the title song in their first album.
They picked some odd and trendy song for their title song...
and put the award winning song in their bonus track.
The CEO and Lee Chung Ryul kept being so stubborn about it.
And...
Lee Chung Ryul was the main vocalist and was more popular.
But I personally think the best part of their songs...
are the parts that Seo Dong Cheon composed and played.
Please come to me
Before the season changes
- Lee Chung Ryul! - Lee Chung Ryul!
Who do you like better? Seo Dong Cheon or Lee Chung Ryul?
I prefer Seo Dong Cheon.
- Why? - I don't like handsome guys.
Are you okay?
I'm sorry. Something was in front of the car.
I already got paid.
I just want to thank you.
It's okay. I might think you're doing this with an ulterior motive.
Goodbye.
Okay, bye.
Gosh, it's raining.
Why does it rain every time I walk?
There aren't even any bus here.
Maybe I should've taken what he offered.
Sir, we have a situation!
Someone put up a notice a couple of days ago...
asking people not to feed the stray cat...
because it keeps dirtying the neighborhood and is loud.
Why do they keep calling it a stray cat?
Are you crying?
Are you smiling? You just smiled, didn't you?
- No. - Look at me.
Look at me!
It was you, wasn't it? You did this!
What's wrong with you? You're scaring me.
You evil jerk.
I did knuckle it on its head once.
But I didn't do this.
Back then, I didn't know.
So what happens if I sell my soul? Do I die?
Humans wash away their sins...
by shedding tears.
Dostoevsky.
Selling your soul isn't a big deal.
You can't cry and that's about it.
- "You can't cry"? - That's right.
Those who can't cry lose their emotions too.
Emotions?
As if I need any.
I didn't know back then...
that I still had many tears to shed...
and that being able to cry...
is what makes you human.
Kitty...
(Kitty)
(Soul Contract)
This nonsensical contract never existed from the start.
It's not over.
Remember this.
You must see the end for it to end.
No!
Him dying and disappearing didn't annul the contract.
Not the end, you say? Well, I'll see to it that it ends.
What? How did this happen?
What...
Not the end, you say?
Show yourself, you jerk!
Show yourself!
Hello. Please come in.
Please come in.
Who is it?
What?
And who may you be?
He was in "Hyena of the City".
It's actor Mo Tae Kang!
Do you know me?
You missed the film festival.
Your seat was next to mine,
so I was able to enjoy the armrest all to myself.
I see. So what brings you to my house?
Move over.
Mr. Mo, may I have your autograph?
- How about something to drink? - Sure thing.
Move over.
(Seo Dong Cheon)
(Notice of Payment, You have 3 days left.)
How do you have this?
You desperately longed to meet me.
After hearing my voice,
you wished to see my face.
No, wait. You're not him.
- He was... - Oh, him.
You know very well that Chairman Song is dead.
Yes, he is, which means that it's over...
Are you saying that he's not the devil?
So you didn't know. He was actually my stand-in.
I'm busier than most people think,
so I let volunteers fill in for me at times.
I apologize if it was misleading you.
Anyway, it's good to meet you, Mr. Seo.
Who on earth are you?
Please have a seat.
We'll be meeting in three days time,
but still you longed to meet me.
- Likewise. - I asked who you are.
I already told you. I'm your ultimate boss.
Hey.
- Kang Ha... - Just one.
Hey.
Mr. Mo, please cut out the theatrics.
How are you the devil, you jerk?
Jerk of a devil. I like it.
It has a sexy ring to it.
Then you're the one who killed him.
No.
You're the one who intended to kill him.
You prepared for it for a long time.
That wasn't my intention.
- I only wanted to threaten... - I know.
He made the choice himself.
Humans are peculiar creatures.
After voluntarily doing all the nasty in the world,
he suddenly had a change of heart and took his own life.
You people are more brutal than we are.
Where is my spoon?
Are you really the devil then?
Hand it over.
The devil?
I asked you to sell your soul, so I get why...
humans would call me that.
However, as you can see, I'm the famous actor Mo Tae Kang.
Who are you really?
My true identity? Long ago,
I was named "The 49th Ryu Who Danced 3 Days..."
"After Its Birth from a 3,000-day Fire."
Since it's long, just call me Ryu.
I never asked you for your name!
Then what about this?
I am part of a force that creates good...
even when it wants evil.
For the past 10 years, I have been...
in your service night and day.
Call me your loyal servant.
This is the sword of Damascus you forged!
Watch yourself.
Salt? I'm not some puny spirit.
Nor am I a vampire.
What's this?
I am not a frozen spirit either.
I got him.
Are there any more left?
They're all quite annoying, so let me have it all at once.
I fully understand what you mean,
so cut it out.
It's over, you devil.
- What's this? - Holy water.
For five years, pilgrims...
My gosh. Holy water?
Did you have to drench me?
It must've cost a lot to build that room.
Sorry for the intrusion.
I have a lot to say but I wish your soul the best of health.
See you in three days. Three days.
He got me all wet.
Was the water in the fridge? It was cold.
How interesting.
He retaliates more than expected.
That makes it fun.
So, are we sure Chairman Song killed himself?
Yes, I am.
I took his soul completely.
Why would a soul-less man do that?
A guilty conscience? Does that make sense?
Could it be a side effect?
A side effect?
You know, how even after a vasectomy,
a couple gets pregnant.
Do you think that's an appropriate analogy?
I apologize.
These fools are so slow.
Will you go faster?
Darn these idiots.
Darn it.
Do you drive with your feet?
Do you know who I am?
Come here. Come here!
It happens.
Sometimes, people drive with their feet.
It happens.
Your life...
was full of burdens, human.
Go on your way.
He seemed very drunk. If you let him go...
It's a human matter.
An accident could cause innocent lives...
Do I need your permission to show some mercy?
- Mr. Kang. - Yes?
Why are you wearing sunglasses at night?
I forgot.
No wonder.

- What if... - What?
What if you had just two days left?
- What would you do? - Now are you feeling the pressure?
I'd have a beer with a friend.
You worked so hard that you're exhausted in body and soul.
Listen to new things...
and get some air to relax your mind.
Shall we take a look?
The street lamp is the only thing
That shines on me
- What's this? - Let's listen over a drink.
Her folk songs have a unique sound.
Please come to me
Before the season changes
Thank you.
I've never sung in public before.
Could I sing one of my own compositions?
- Yes. - Yes. I'd like it.
Thank you.
It's called "Talking to Myself".
Like a habit, I say this to myself
It'll work out, it's okay
One day, I'll make you laugh
It's awkward, looking into a mirror
But I did it anyway
It will all come to pass
I counted to 10 to hold back
The tears of my frail heart
- What's that? - It sounds familiar.
Totally.
It will all come to pass
I wanted to give up
I was broken-hearted
- She wrote that? - I was tired
It's Si Ho's song.
- It's Si Ho's song. - She wrote it?
It was number one.
She's crazy.
She's a fraud.
- She's a composer? - She's a copycat.
She won't stop?
Beside my head
What is she doing?
That's her song?
She said it's her song.
It's Si Ho's song.
It's the same. Listen.
Listen to the words.
It's not a joke.
It's plagiarism.
Can she be sued?
How dare she say she wrote it?
It will all come to pass
This long winding road
The unfamiliar tomorrow
It will all
("Trap of Love", Si Ho)
You really didn't know?
It was released a few days ago.
Yi Kyung.
Just forget about it. There are a lot of people like her.
Excuse me.
Don't we need to talk?
Do you know each other?
We were involved in an accident.
What? What more do you need to say?
Why do people think my song is Si Ho's song?
Because it is Si Ho's song.
And Si Ho's song is my song.
Are you trying to say I plagiarized your song?
I never said that. But...
it's mine.
It's my song.
Okay, go ahead and keep it. I'll be on my way.
Have you ever published that song?
Seo Young.
Did it ever get published online or offline?
Well, not exactly.
Hey, let me tell you something before you start talking nonsense.
I never listen to anyone else's songs.
I don't even listen to the songs I write.
So it's impossible for me...
to have plagiarized your song. Do you understand?
That's enough.
I guess there was a misunderstanding.
We can talk more about it at my office.
Call me whenever you feel like it.
No.
I want to hear it from him.
What more do you want from me? Let's go.
Why is it you again?
Why me? Why does this keep happening to me?
I once thought of it as an honor.
I thought it just meant that I was as talented as a genius composer.
Once could be considered a coincidence,
but I don't understand how it could happen again.
Did you install a wiretap inside my head?
Are you crazy?
I'll call you next time. You can talk about it with me.
Let's go. Come on.
What a scary world.
If he didn't copy my work, are we just meant to be?
Is he like...
my soulmate or something?
She thinks I plagiarized her song? What a joke.
I can't believe she'd even think that.

(Ha Rip is suspected to have committed plagiarism.)
What the...
(Plagiarism, Ha Rip)
(Y Channel, Ha Rip)
(Ha Rip plagiarism edits)
(A lot of his songs are suspected to have been plagiarized.)
Are they serious?
They think I copied everything.
Do they think I copied every single song I wrote?
They'll soon start accusing kids for drawing musical notes.
Why is it you again?
Why me? Why does this keep happening to me?
Once could be considered a coincidence,
but I don't understand how it could happen again.
Hey, Attorney Min. It's me, Ha Rip.
I want you to do a background check on someone for me.
Sir.
Musical inspiration...
is like a dewdrop that floats around in midair.
He and I just happened to get inspired the same way.
And the dewdrop that inspired me...
happened to inspire him as well.
That's how I decided to think of it.
What's the matter with you? You're starting to scare me.
She's pessimistic one second and optimistic the other.
She's always like that.
I'm going to quit music.
It means I'm not unique.
But then again, I'm not even good enough to do music.
Right, sir?
Is it because it's wet? There's so much smoke.
The neighbors want you to stop burning trash in your yard...
because it smells.
I'm not burning trash. I'm burning firewood.
Plus, they're oak trees.
It still emits smoke.
My gosh.
(The tiny doll by my bedside)
(I feel sorry for myself for always fighting for my dream)
("Talking to Myself")
What did I do wrong?
Why do you keep giving me these hardships?
Hey, come down here. I won't hit you. Let's just talk.
You're so mean.
Yi Kyung.
You just wait.
A man in his 30s caused a car accident last night...
at around 10pm by driving in the wrong lane at Seocho interchange.
Due to the accident, 1 person died, and 4 people got injured.
The world is going crazy.
There's no more humanity in this world.
- The drunk... - People are...
head over heels for him these days.
Everyone's impressed by Mo Tae Kang's acting skills.
He plays a villain,
and he makes it seem so real. And some people...
are even starting to get concerned for him.
"Hyena of the City" is popular...
among both men and women due to his luring character.
He does an incredible job of playing a double role.
He really needs to live a better life.
Tae Kang came over to his house which means they're best friends.
He knows I'm a huge fan,
but he didn't even give me a chance to take a photo with him.
That's just bad. He'll end up in the fiery pit.
Goodbye.
- Does he look human to you? - No.
He's not human.
It's impossible for a human being to be such a good actor.
Is that a daily drama or something? You watch the rerun every day.
Turn it off. It's loud.
What are you doing? See who's here.
Hey, what...
You...
Why won't anyone answer?
What's this?
Help me.
Sir, please hurry. His BP is dropping.
What's the patient's name?
Do you know his blood type?
His name is Ha Rip, but I don't know his blood type.
- Here. - Charge the defibrillator.
Charged.
200 joules!
Clear. Shock!
July 24, 2019, 22:25pm.
Time of death.
(When the Devil Calls Your Name)
- Sir? - Really?
- Lee Chung Ryul? - Haven't we met before?
- I didn't steal your music. - I pitied your pathetic life,
so I gave you a few bars.
Don't consider it as talent. It's really too pathetic.
Provoke me once again and I'll reveal this to the world.
- This is blackmail. - I know.
You dated in secret for five years and parted ways last year.
Well, that'll keep me entertained.
How dare someone hurt my Kitty!
Do you wish for the same fate?
- Want some poison too? - Keep being careless like that...
and you'll meet the fate of your predecessor.
You fraud of a devil!
Fail to fulfill your end and you will be back...
- as your old self. - What?
I can't give up my soul like this.
- I'll make you a top singer. - You've got yourself a deal.
You want me to get you another soul?
I only need one desperate soul.
You psycho. How dare you trick me.
Have you ever wondered what happens to those...
who breaches their contract with the devil?
I may have a benevolent smile,
but that doesn't mean I'm a pushover.
