(Episode 2)
I found it while packing.
They're all here.
The songs you sang to me 10 years ago.
You can go ahead and cry if you feel upset about it.
Or at least cuss him out.
Go and teach that plagiarist a huge lesson.
Go and tell him...
that you're going to expose everything on the internet.
His pulse is decreasing. Please hurry.
(Emergency Medical Center)
- What happened to him? - He has a serious wound.
- He lost a lot of blood, - Okay.
- and he's losing his consciousness. - 1, 2, 3.
Call the neurosurgeon that's on duty.
Okay.
Connect it to the monitor, and keep the lines in check.
Okay. I'm calling from the ER.
We just received a trauma patient. Please get here as soon as possible.
- Code blue. Compression. - Code blue.
- Compression. - 1mm of epinephrine.
- 1mm of epinephrine. - Prepare the defibrillator.
Prepare the defibrillator.
- Charge it to 200 joules. - It's ready.
Clear.
Compression.
- Charge it to 200 joules. - Charge it to 200 joules.
Compression.
Clear.
- Charge it to 200 joules. - Charge it to 200 joules.
Move.
- Clear. - His heart rate isn't coming back.
Compression.
Charge it to 200 joules.
Clear.
Are you his guardian?
What?
Are you his family?
No, I don't know him that well.
If he doesn't have a family,
and he doesn't show signs of improvement for 30 minutes,
we're going to stop the cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
After that, we're going to announce his time of death.
Let's stop.
Let's announce his time of death.
July 24, 2019.
The patient passed away at 22:52.
Why do you work here?
- Why does this always happen to me? - Calm down.
- What are you doing here? - How can I calm down?
Someone just died.
- He was bleeding in front of me. - He died?
Yes, he apparently died.
You can't die...
without my permission.
- Is this for real? - My gosh, this is unbelievable.
My goodness.
Oh, gosh.
How is this possible?
- My gosh. - What in the world...
Excuse me.
- How is he alive? - My gosh.
I saw blood.
The doctor kept asking me questions.
But I couldn't answer him because I knew nothing.
They suddenly took him inside and started doing CPR on him.
But he suddenly stopped breathing.
And his heart stopped breathing.
The doctor suddenly came outside and told me that he's dead.
And he told me that they won't be able to do anything...
if he doesn't get better in the next 30 minutes...
because I wasn't his guardian.
So he ended up dying.
He died because I wasn't his guardian.
My goodness, he's alive.
Excuse me. You should get a CT scan.
Doctor, I'm completely fine.
Sir.
Can I borrow your slippers?
What?
I need to go home, but I'm only wearing white socks.
You should go home and rest for now.
I'll see you at the patrol division tomorrow.
You know my number, right?
Yes, you can take your time.
- When did you come? - Well? Did you talk to him?
- No. - Why?
- He died. - What? Who died?
But he suddenly came back to life.
You didn't say anything, did you?
You're in no place to care about others.
You know what? Give me that.
I'll go talk to that jerk myself.
- No, you can't go now. - Give it to me.
I'll take care of it myself.
What's this?
- Did you get hurt? - No.
I fell down and got a nosebleed.
I'm going to go wash up. I'm going to wash.
Do you think this is funny?
Dong Hee.
I don't have a religion.
But remember that time when I went to a cathedral to pray?
I asked if I was just born unlucky...
and why I always had to go through so many hardships.
And that's when the priest told me...
that it's because the skies think that I'm special.
They don't want evil spirits to covet my soul.
He told me not to lose hope because I have a patron saint...
watching over me.
Are you a kid? Why would you believe that?
It sounds ridiculous, right?
But it's a lot better than someone telling me...
that I'm an unlucky person.
And who knows? My life might change,
and I might become really lucky one day.
Hey, come here.
My gosh, you should've washed it properly.
- It's still here. - My gosh.
I thought I rinsed it off.
What's wrong with you? That's gross.
I'm so sick of this. You really should be happy now.
I want to be happy too.
I died but came back to life.
You can't die without my permission.
I thought that was just something people said during hardships.
But I literally died and came back to life.
He's even capable of making the dead come back to life.
I can't escape from him.
You really need to tell me before you go somewhere.
Or you should at least have your cell phone with you.
Ms. Ji called and asked me when you're going to come see her.
- Why? - How can I know what you don't?
I'm not a psychic, you know.
Why do you look so lifeless today?
Lifeless?
I'm sorry, but can we do this some other time?
Things are complicated for me right now.
Well, postpone whatever's troubling you.
- We have a new boss. - A what?
Life is easy for you, isn't it?
You care about nothing but yourself.
Who is it then?
That goes on the bottom shelf.
No, not there. Push it back.
Don't get any scratches on it.
- Mr. Lee? - Oh, Ms. Ji!
You're dismissed.
Say hello, Rip.
This is Mr. Lee Chung Ryul of Tiger Pharmaceuticals,
the new co-CEO of Soul Entertainment.
- Lee Chung Ryul? - My gosh, look who it is.
It's nice to meet you, Mr. Ha.
The name means kind and clear.
I'm the generous Lee Chung Ryul.
Nice to meet you.
Come on.
Nothing in life happens for no reason.
Why did he appear in my life at this exact time?
Well, we finally meet.
I'm a huge fan of your music, Mr. Ha.
He's been dying to meet you.
Just so you know, he was once in a band...
called Liver and Gallbladder.
Gosh, that was significantly long ago.
Yes, I know the band well.
You know my band?
Gosh, it's an honor.
Not many youngsters know of the band.
In 1977, you and your army buddy Seo Dong Cheon...
formed Liver and Gallbladder.
You won third place at the first College Music Festival.
1st album was "Loner" and the 2nd one was "It's Love".
You disbanded after releasing the second album.
You then took over your wife's family business...
and have been in...
the pharmaceutical industry for 30 years.
What's the company's name again?
Kitty Pharmaceuticals?
You know me even better than I know myself.
Not Kitty, but Tiger Pharmaceuticals.
They're the same thing.
You must've earned a decent amount of money.
Others have to work their butts off to get here,
but you became a co-CEO without doing any legwork.
Right.
Well, life's all about one lucky punch.
It turns out that money is quite nice to have.
I had to leave the music industry,
and I was only able to put my foot back in it...
thanks to the money I earned.
You had to leave the industry?
- Why do you keep pinching me? - Oh, sorry about that.
Have we perhaps met before?
I let it slip my mind...
that he's someone who knows the younger version of me the best.
I highly doubt it.
Are you sure?
I'm pretty sure of it.
Gosh, that's a relief.
I was worried that I had made a mistake.
I suffer from face blindness, you see.
I was walking on the street the other day...
when this woman smacked me on the back.
I flared up and got all up in her face...
when I realized it was my wife.
My son was with her as well.
I sometimes don't recognize you either, Ms. Ji.
I'm against this merger.
Are you insane? Why the change of heart?
You should've told me that it was Lee Chung Ryul.
I did tell you.
You're the one who didn't bother to listen.
My life is complicated even without him in it right now.
Why do you keep saying that? What's going on?
I'd love nothing more than to tell you too!
What's the company's name again? Kitty Pharmaceuticals?
They're the same thing.
The average person wouldn't confuse a tiger with a cat.
Yes, come in.
My goodness!
Do you even know who Lee Chung Ryul is?
He knows absolutely nothing about music.
Why would he invest in this company when all he has is money.
You're all the music talent we need around here.
Who first suggested that we expand our business internationally?
- Well... - Music talent alone isn't enough.
In order to expand our business,
we need money and someone who knows about making it.
Lee Chung Ryul's character? Whatever. I don't care.
I don't care either.
This contract is invalid. We're annulling the contract.
Major shareholder and Co-CEO Ha, you also signed the contract.
Darn!
Are you ready?
It's show time!
Why Mo Tae Kang of all people?
Why did Lee Chung Ryul bring him of all people?
Do you hate Mr. Lee that much?
What do you have against Mo Tae Kang?
Do you really not know?
Must I...
know something?
Are you one of his haters?
For what fame and fortune do I babysit him for?
- Where are you going? - To clean your mess!
That reminds me!
Mr. Kang, you seem exhausted today.
I apologize, sir.
In order to serve you in the best possible way,
I've been watching your projects every night.
Last night, I watched "The Devil Lives".
Your portrayal of the psychopathic killer...
was truly realistic.
It's why I couldn't sleep.
You really can't even call it acting.
Anyway, it's the show that made...
Mo Tae Kang a household name last year.
The director in debt was invited to the Cannes,
the female lead went to a mental hospital,
and my assistant jumped off a cliff.
The movie has left me many good memories.
Being an actor is actually quite entertaining.
Didn't you say your previous assistant...
died from a heart attack?
No, that was the assistant before the previous one.
I gave him an earful for not being diligent enough.
You see, I took the body of an assemblyman back then.
It turns out that my host had a second wife and kid abroad.
He also was a sex offender...
and even had prior DUIs.
Are you sure that Mo Tae Kang has no skeletons?
Yes, sir.
He committed no crimes and has had a clean romantic life.
I see.
- However... - Hold on.
The coffee suddenly got cold.
Don't you feel a chill coming from somewhere?
Why does she seem cold all the time?
That gaze...
It's scary.
I was just about to tell you about her.
You dated in secret for five years but broke up last year.
Not many knew of the relationship,
so I haven't been able to figure out why you broke up.
Mr. Kang, during your time in the NIS,
you enjoyed your life by splurging on the special fund.
- Sorry? - For 2 hours and 32 minutes,
I've been feeling terror for no reason.
Must I know why after all this time has passed?
Be sloppy like that again...
and you'll meet the fate of your predecessor.
I'll do better, sir.
Let me warn you...
that my power isn't one to flaunt as your own.
Yes, sir.
Your soul is already mine...
and you only have three years.
Anyway, this'll keep me entertained for now.
I never said he plagiarized it.
Will others think it's a coincidence too?
Once people hear about your claim,
people will criticize Ha Rip without checking the facts.
I'm sure he'll soon get back on his feet...
since he has the power to do so.
You'll be hurt tremendously though.
You might not get back on your feet.
So you know a lot about me.
I've thought of a way that could help you.
Right.
It truly is an impossible coincidence.
I know how weird my story sounds.
But I completed my song on July 15,
and you released the same one on July 17.
Ha Rip has been working on this song for a year.
Logically speaking, it's more plausible to think...
that you heard a sample of his and built your song off it.
I take it you don't believe me.
Then this means nothing too.
My song was never made public,
so Mr. Ha couldn't have copied it.
- I Gyeong... - Shall I write a memorandum?
Or will you write me one?
Don't bother me over this again.
Like you said, it's a coincidence. 10 years ago and this time too.
Goodbye.
Do you want to debut?
Do you want to become famous?
I told you already that I'm not interested.
Goodbye.
But I completed my song on July 15,
and you released the same one on July 17.
July 15?
(Ha Rip)
(July 15)
- What? - I got it!
You did?
- Let's go. - Wait!
- Ms. Ji. - Two bars.
Get up, get up.
- Hey. - Sorry to gather you so late.
He's here.
- Hello. - Hello, Mr. Ha.
Ha Rip, is this my birthday present?
Is it your birthday? Happy birthday.
Here.
- Where are the words? - Learn the tune. I'll write it now.
Is this for real? We release this in two days.
You can do it. You're the best.
Who uses sheet music... Is there a guide recording?
Add some more reverb.
Love is the trap
That lunatic.
Like you said, it's a coincidence. 10 years ago and this time too.
10 years ago?
Kim I Gyeong has a juvenile record.
I had a hard time finding this.
Articles say when she was 18,
she was let off with a warning for theft.
This one's nasty.
Grievous bodily harm to her stepfather.
The victim didn't die.
He's currently a quadriplegic.
She was on trial for about six months...
and released on probation.
Did I have long fingernails?
(Domestic violence led teen to attempt stepfather's murder)
Mr. Ha asked me to look into this case too. What should I do?
- Tell him what you told me. - Okay.
We have you on camera. Let's go to the precinct.
The cat wailed every night. You know how they sound.
It sounded like a kid having a fit. It's a crazy sound.
Shouldn't it not cry like that in a residential area?
It cried, so you killed it?
I studied for three years.
It would be silly if I failed because of a cat.
My exam's three months away.
Your exam? It's three months away?
- Officer, can you take over? - Sure.
Sit down.
Why do you do this?
I'm here because you said you need a witness statement.
If you want to give advice, I'll just leave.
You can give the statement at the precinct.
If you go there now...
It'll get complicated.
You say you're a witness, but you're a likely suspect.
There was no problem so far...
only because the victim, Mr. Ha,
insisted that nothing's wrong.
So, you...
What?
There's an additional punishment the second time?
What if I do it once more?
Will I be put away for 10 years?
- I Gyeong. - Just do your job.
Don't try to get involved in other's business.
Must you really...
Which psycho killed my Kitty?
Where's that psycho?
You're just fine.
The steel pipe.
I saw him. He's the steel pipe guy.
What rotten luck.
He played music all the time and it got to me.
My exam's three months away.
My older siblings are all lawyers.
It's annoying to be the odd one out.
That's nonsense. Guess how much I spent soundproofing my place.
- How dare you? - Calm down.
Sit down, both of you.
- Sit down. - Guess what? That tiny...
boom, boom, boom, boom.
That's even more annoying.
Annoying? You hit people because you're annoyed?
- Come here. I'm annoyed now. - Sir, sir.
- Come here, jerk. - Why make a fuss when you're fine?
You can't sue with an injury that took two weeks to heal.
Two weeks? I died, okay?
- How dare you? - I'll pay for the dead cat.
- I'll only be fined 200 dollars. - What?
I take back that I said I killed six cats.
You can't prove the rest.
- Darn you. Proof? - Don't, don't.
I poisoned a cat with an owner, so the animal protection law...
plus the property damage...
might add a little more.
I'll give you 250 dollars.
Let's settle. Give me your account number. I'll wire it.
Hey. I'll kill you and pay by credit card.
Come right here.
I'm too busy to attend a trial.
Take me to court if you want.
What? You like the law? Fine then.
Let's go to court, you scumbag.
Shall I whack you in the head with a steel pipe?
- Shall I poison you too? - Assault, assault.
Assault, my foot. This is me killing you.
- Mr. Ha, you can't kill. No! - Darn you.
That hurts. It hurts.
- Why did you grab so tight? - Sorry.
My gosh.
Are you all right? Did you have urgent business?
The toilet's that way.
Oh, dear. My back hurts.
This might take three weeks to heal.
Why don't you lock her up too for assault?
He still hasn't learned his lesson.
Sir.
I don't think you even qualify to take the bar exam.
Why don't you lie on your bed and massage your back?
What nonsense is that?
6-2 of the National Bar Examination Act says...
one who was released from legal confinement or settled...
within the last five years cannot take the exam.
What did I just say?
I must've watched too many dramas.
- The current weekend drama... - It's your fault!
Calm down now.
Keep this up and we'll arrest you for obstruction.
Obstruction of justice? Come here.
Will you calm down?
- Darn it. - Are you okay?
Can an officer hit someone like this?
I know the law better than you.
- What does a devil look like? - You saw earlier.
What is a devilish human like?
- I wanted to know. - I'll pay the fine.
- You saw. - But he's too ordinary.
- Why is it just me? - The devil.
People as evil like the devil.
They're a lot more normal than one would expect them to be.
He died because I wasn't his guardian.
Go ahead and talk.
Why did you come by my house that night?
It doesn't matter anymore.
I wanted to talk to you, but you suddenly died.
I didn't die!
Can't you see that I'm fine?
So from now on,
don't tell anyone about what happened.
How can I do that?
You died right in front of me,
and you suddenly came back alive.
The doctor asked me your blood type and whether or not...
you have an illness and stuff.
But I couldn't answer any of his questions.
Then your heart stopped beating,
and they did a CPR on you 30 times.
- Then they declared your death... - My gosh, I told you I didn't die.
If you can't believe me, go ahead and touch my body.
Here.
Just a second.
You were really dead.
- This part was... - What are you doing?
How do they know each other?
I don't know.
They seem pretty close...
judging by how she keeps touching him like that.
- You don't know, do you? - No, I don't.
How would I know what he thinks?
Don't get curious. You'll only get hurt.
By the way, that guy killed a cat which makes him a murderer.
Are you just going to let him go?
That's how the law works.
Oh, I see.
You released...
"Soul Song" by Soul River...
in August 21, 2009.
I was locked up in a detention center that day.
And when I got released, everyone was listening to my song.
Later on, I found out that it was made by a guy named Ha Rip.
What do you think happened?
What kind of trick are you trying to pull?
Did our souls happen to connect with each other?
Did we ever meet before?
Or am I the one who stole your thoughts?
I really don't know how it could've happened.
I didn't mind giving up on music, but I really wanted to find out.
You're a renowned genius.
Meanwhile, I don't know how to compose.
But we both came up with the exact same music twice.
Isn't that so weird?
There's nothing weird about it.
I have something you don't.
Inspiration.
That inspiration must've dropped by your head...
after it was done visiting mine.
It pitied your pathetic life, so it gave you a few bars.
Don't think of it as talent.
It's making me pity you.
Are you done now? I'll be off, then.
I went to your place that night to let you hear this.
I sang this to my friend.
It was my first song, and I didn't want to forget it.
Should I tell you my name?
Should I tell you my age?
You say I can't because I'm young and naive
But I'm not an immature kid
- My goodness. - Should I tell you how I feel?
Should I tell you my story?
I sometimes cry, smile, and agonize in pain
But I'm still happy with my life
They don't know much
But they talk as if they know everything
It was such an unbelievable coincidence.
So I couldn't even think of it as a problem.
Do you see the date?
I sang it three weeks earlier than when your song got released.
That's nonsense.
I'm not asking you to do anything for me.
But I do want to get one thing straight.
I didn't steal your music.
That's what I wanted to tell you that night.
Then what about today?
- Is there something different? - Yes.
It's very different.
I was very disappointed.
You tried to soothe me with some pocket money.
What money?
I really don't have much pride.
But it hurt my pride a lot.
Did you meet Ms. Ji?
I did nothing wrong.
So I don't get why I need to be treated this way.
I started to think I had to give up on music...
because I got on the wrong side of a musical genius.
And that made me feel so upset.
Regardless of how insignificant someone may be,
they all have their own reasons to live.
Even the Constitution talks about one's right to pursue happiness.
I feel the happiest when I do music.
I was already...
getting ready to give up on music.
But when you started lecturing me saying I should quit music,
it made me get angry.
I'll continue to live how I used to live.
So please...
stop bothering me.
Just leave me alone.
I'm already a very unlucky person.
But from now on, I'd like to live a life...
where I can work hard...
to achieve what I want instead of being unlucky with everything.
What kind of wish is that?
If you mess with me one more time,
I'll just expose this to the world.
If this goes public,
you'll get accused of plagiarism.
And that will at least taint your reputation a little.
I'll keep this with me for now just in case.
- Are you threatening me? - No.
I'm trying to get back up.
Because you did a good job of crushing my pride.
You're blackmailing me right now.
Yes, that's right.
So please don't make me expose this to the world.
From now on, don't use money or words...
to step on little worms.
Please do me a favor, sir.
You're threatening me one minute and being polite the other.
What do you really want to say?
I'm happy...
that you're okay.
I really mean that.
I'll be off now.
I can read people's fortunes by looking at their faces.
Something very misfortunate is going to happen to you soon.
Just go back to sleep.
I've already had a bad day.
I must've upset you.
Do you not feel like talking?
Then what about this?
Do you feel like talking to me now?
Do you know what the Law of Destiny is?
In order to bring the dead back to life,
someone else needs to take that person's pain instead.
Do you get it now?
The person you killed came back to life,
and this is the cost I need to pay.
But you see, this is very painful.
Don't you think someone else should take this pain from me?
And who do you think that should be?
Don't you worry. This won't kill you.
That burden is reserved for me.
I truly am...
being too soft...
these days.
You're a renowned genius.
Meanwhile, I don't know how to compose.
But we both came up with the exact same music twice.
Isn't that so weird?
There's nothing weird about it.
I have something you don't. Inspiration.
That inspiration must've...
dropped by your head after it was done visiting mine.
Our conversation made no sense at all,
but then I remembered the night the old man came to me.
Who on earth are you?
Follow me.
- Follow me. - What?
But...
It's my first gift to the newly born...
Seo Dong Cheon.
It was a sweet temptation.
One that I couldn't resist.
I heard the melody in my dream...
and I believed that it came from my head.
It was the first song that kickstarted Ha Rip's career.
Does this mean it wasn't my song to begin with?
Did you stay up all night again?
You crazy jerk of a devil. You lied to me!
But I only had one drink.
- I love you, Mo Tae Kang. - I love you, Mo Tae Kang.
Amazing! Look how wild the fans are!
You're joining us at the heated fan meet-and-greet...
of the world's best actor Mo Tae Kang!
Deities must control humans for this kind of fun.
How lowly and sickening.
- Please applaud... - Lowly beings,
praise me.
Your greed is what I feed on.
- Mo Tae Kang! - Mo Tae Kang!
- The chameleon, Mo Tae Kang! - The chameleon, Mo Tae Kang!
- Mo Tae Kang! - Mo Tae Kang!
(Notice of Payment)
Is there anything you want from Mr. Mo?
- Sing for us. - Sing for us.
- Sing for us. - Yes, that's it.
Mr. Mo is also famous for his singing.
He's known to have a charismatic voice.
- Sing for us. - Sing for us.
However, I'm afraid Mr. Mo...
isn't in the best condition today.
Unfortunately, he won't...
be able to deliver a song on this stage.
- Sing for us. - Sing for us.
Your fans are dying to hear you sing though.
- It's what they wish for. - Sing for us!
Could you please sing a song for them?
We'll be back after a short break!
When in Busan
Will I be able to see you again?
Beautiful hair
Blows in the wind
You could spew blood and pass out on stage.
Mo Tae Kang used to be a musical actor.
No one will think that you're the same person.
- That's cold. - I don't understand.
You're able to toy with people's souls,
so why can't you sing a simple tune?
Don't you get his vocal cords too?
That must be decided by the man upstairs.
Please get the door.
Sure thing.
What... Wait.
You!
You swindling jerk of a devil!
This contract has been a con.
- You lied to me from the start. - I gave you your youth back,
made you a famous songwriter, and made you rich.
What about our terms did I not deliver on?
I'm on stage in five minutes, so cut to the chase.
You stole someone's else idea. You made me a thief.
But you became successful...
and rich.
Wealth and fame, right?
Fame?
- Are you kidding me, you jerk? - Did you think...
that people would suddenly love Seo Dong Cheon's music?
So it's true?
All the songs I wrote is originally someone else's?
Look here, Mr. Ha. You wanted to be successful.
You never said anything about being a genius.
I don't have the power to turn an idiot into a genius.
I'm not a deity, you know.
Although, I'm not saying you're an idiot.
So my songs...
- were all stolen? - Gems aren't of any use...
until you make something out of it.
I only brought you gems that were here and there.
You're the one who made them into something, Mr. Seo.
I mean, Mr. Ha.
So don't beat yourself up over it.
This is why you're called the devil.
The last 10 years have been great...
for the both of us.
- Us both? - That's right.
Us both.
Who didn't benefit from the contract?
It was at the expense of someone else.
Like I said, I'm no deity or genie.
Just think about it.
Talent is everywhere but the total mass is the same.
In order for someone to have talent,
someone else must lose theirs.
If some picks up money on the street,
that means someone lost theirs. That's how life works.
You humans tend to forget that simple rule.
This is outrageous.
Fine, let's say you're telling the truth.
- I am. - Why steal from the same person?
I wouldn't be in this mess if you hadn't!
Did I?
I didn't count who I stole from.
Anyway, why are you all worked up?
What? Because I feel guilty.
I stole her song twice.
I stole her future and dreams two times.
Of course I feel guilty.
You feel sorry?
Why?
I did my best to hold up my end of the contract.
Never did I ask to become a thief.
- You take responsibility. - Responsibility?
You're the one who got rich and young,
so why does the responsibility always fall on me?
Don't you dare lay a finger on my soul.
This contract is void. This contract is terminated!
Terminated?
Fine, then.
Is that allowed?
When in breach of contract, you will go back to your old self.
The lives that have been altered by the contracting party...
will also go back to how they were.
- What are you saying? - Terminate the contract?
Well, you can go back to your old self again.
There were many others like you.
The secret that kept us going for years as numerous as the stars.
Drink this.
What are you doing?
One who has reached the top can never come down.
What about you?
Can you go back to being Seo Dong Cheon?
Shall I send you back?
Sending you back isn't hard at all. But...
don't forget that the people...
whose lives you changed will go back too.
Oh, dear. I forgot.
This will kill you.
No! No! No!
What...
You jerk.
Before signing a contract, make it a habit...
of reading the conditions.
If you don't repay the bank, you lose your house.
If you don't repay a loan shark, you lose an internal organ.
That much happens in your world.
What price...
would one have to pay for breaking a deal with the devil?
Just because I have a kind smile,
do you take me for a fool?
I could let you keep your soul intact...
and throw you into this pit right now.
You'll beg me to take your soul.
Save me.
Save you?
Yes, I'll save you.
Living will be worse than this pit of fire.
I could make you plead me to kill you.
You can... You can...
sing well too.
You have a minute left.
What did you just say?
I can't lose my soul like this.
Now I know why I felt uncomfortable for the past 10 years.
What I thought was mine wasn't mine.
I don't understand completely, but I accept that's your situation.
Be honest.
There's a reason you revived me.
I did? Did I?
I'll make you a singer.
I'll release you an album...
- and get you to number one. - Forget the album.
Will you disappoint all those fans of yours?
Mo Tae Kang! Mo Tae Kang!
You're tone deaf.
It's now time.
You're tone deaf.
Will I ever
Be able to see you again?
Your soft hair
Blew in the wind
As you greeted me
(I can't ever be free of you, Mo Tae Kang)
Outside Busan Station
The place has changed so much
(Mo Tae Kang is my religion)
Where should I go from here?
I feel lost
And I walk
I climbed aimlessly
Up Dalmaji Pass
The old sea
Our old relationship
It's as if
Time has frozen still
Let's stay like this
Hand in hand
And, like before
Walk along as we did
Mo Tae Kang! Mo Tae Kang!
The tree in Busan
Mo Tae Kang! Mo Tae Kang!
- Mo Tae Kang! - It was so moving.
So humans call this emotion "touching".
- I'm quite good. - China, Japan, Vietnam, America.
They want to host meet-and-greet everywhere.
Your singing voice will break up your fan club.
- They'll be disillusioned. - Choi Baek Ho's song.
Can I sing that?
As if.
It's perfect for your low voice.
Is it?
Time.
I need time. Give me time.
You pinpoint exactly...
what the other wants and yearns for.
The basics of negotiating.
I wish my agents were more like you.
- And... - Extend the contract.
I won't say it's void. Extend it.
I'll give you vocal lessons.
Let me live as Ha Rip...
and take my soul when I die.
A lifelong contract.
It's dramatic.
And different.
The thing is,
lessons and a lifelong contract...
Something's not quite...
I feel like I'm losing out.
You're not.
I'm an artist.
I can't make music without a soul.
You didn't know that before?
I believe I informed you already.
You will no longer...
have any inspirations.
One who loses his tears loses his emotions.
Emotions?
I don't need them.
One who loses his emotions will no longer be inspired.
Back then...
I'm glad you said that.
What inspirations won't I have?
Will I no longer feel anything musically...
or will the old men you sent for 10 years stop coming?
You never told me the old men would steal from others!
You said we should be thorough.
Is a contract a joke?
Think about it.
The music I made wasn't mine.
For once, I'll make something from my soul and then die.
Not something from fake, stolen inspirations.
Something that's me.
I do feel sorry for you,
but you lack persuasion.
I'll give you lessons.
You can do it too, Mr. Devil.
Three months from now, you won't be tone deaf.
You can meet your fans at your world tour.
Three months of singing lessons.
A world tour?
Choi Baek Ho's "In Busan".
If you take my soul,
I'll curse that you stay tone-deaf forever and jump into the Han River.
Here. I recorded our conversation.
Mo Tae Kang's actually a tone-deaf devil...
who tried to con my soul from me.
I'll put that in a will...
and send it to the media.
- Blackmail? - No, it's a comedy sketch.
Don't make me use this.
Please, Mr. Devil.
No. I think I'm on the losing end.
Is this business?
What more do you want?
I'll teach you how to sing!
I'll help you have a successful meet-and-greet.
What more do you want? Should I steal another soul for you?
- You love to steal... - Wait!
Wait a minute!
That sounds great. Let's do that. It's a deal.
- What? - I'll give you three more months...
to make me become a good singer.
- Really? - And...
- And? - bring me a substitute.
- What? - Make another person sign...
a soul contract.
I don't want you to steal it. Make them sign it willingly.
Then your soul will be free.
You'll have freedom.
You want me to sell someone to you?
You evil jerk.
You're really crazy.
Why are you being so fickle? Forget it, then.
People can bring a substitute in exchange for freedom?
I just made it up. Do you have a problem with that?
- No, sir. - Why? Don't you find it fun?
I think it's fun.
If he brings a substitute, I'll be able to hold a fan meeting.
And I'll take the soul he brings me.
If he fails, I'll still be able to hold a fan meeting.
And I'll just take Seo Dong Cheon's soul.
What do humans call this?
This is what you call a scam. I got fooled by him.
If I bring you a substitute,
will I still get to live the life I asked for?
Of course.
You can continue to live as Ha Rip and maintain your wealth,
reputation, and youth.
- You'll fulfill my wishes? - Of course.
- And my soul will become free? - It'll be a lifelong contract.
You can keep living the life you've been living.
Is one enough?
I only need one desperate soul.
It's easy.
I can't report this to the FCC, and I can't even call the cops.
The guy who scammed me is even abusing his power over me.
But how did I not know anything when that evil jerk...
kept bringing me stolen songs?
Come to think of it,
I never had a single doubt.
She became the youngest CEO for having discovered Ha Rip.
Ji Seo Young.
What has she been doing behind my back?
Don't worry. I took care of everything.
You took care of everything? How?
She told me that you didn't plagiarize her songs.
And...
I don't want you to talk about this again.
I see.
Did anyone else come by to see me...
- saying I plagiarized their songs? - Of course.
Then why didn't you tell me?
That happens all the time. The Legal Team took care of it.
They took care of it?
Did they say it's a coincidence because there's no evidence?
Did they give them money? Is that how you take care of things?
Why would you pay them money?
That's the same thing as admitting that I copied their songs.
They would've done one or the other.
Only you guys know the truth, and I'm not interested.
Listen to me. I'm not going to repeat this.
This is our first project after the merge.
The investors have faith in us. They're all focused on this project.
First of all, I don't care who copied whom.
I'm only interested in keeping things on the low.
Therefore, that means nothing ever happened to you.
- Seo Young. - I'm the CEO, so keep listening.
Secondly, do whatever you need to do to find a muse.
If you can't, you should start singing yourself.
If you go back on your word, we'll be jumping from the Han River.
Let's have a nice walk and jump off together.
- My gosh, that's so... - Shut it.
We're going to hold an audition for new singers.
I want you to be the judge.
- Why do I need to... - Stop talking and just listen.
And it's going to be impossible to write new songs every month,
so you'd better begin writing new songs.
- I don't want you to rest. - Do you think...
- I won't be able to... - I told you not to talk!
I'm not being stubborn right now.
I'm trying to clean the mess you made.
Do you want to clean it yourself? Should I stay out of it?
Seo Young.
Do you think you're making the right choice?
There's no such thing as a right choice.
You just need to make a choice...
and make sure that becomes the right choice.
So many people have already started applying for the audition.
I asked the employees to pick a few candidates.
- You want me to start right away? - Yes, starting from tomorrow. Okay?
My gosh.
Okay, you can go now.
- Bring me a substitute. - There's no such thing...
as a right choice.
I only need one desperate soul.
(The 10-year contract terminates in 90 days.)
You just need to make sure that becomes the right choice.
A substitute? What a joke.
I'm going to do things my way.
I'll do everything I can during the three months that was given to me.
Yes, that's what I'll do.
My gosh.
Gosh, he startled me.
- Sir. - My gosh.
Did you ever die?
The cops kept saying weird stuff.
They said you died.
It was nonsense. You're healthy enough to live for 100 more years.
But come to think of it, I Gyeong said the same thing.
She came by when you went to the office to see Ms. Ji.
You have no idea how much she was worried about you.
Her face was so pale.
She asked if you're sick.
She kept asking if you're okay and if anything happened to you.
My gosh, she's so nosy.
- Let me warn you. - Warn me?
- Don't make I Gyeong cry. - I Gyeong?
I'm warning you because you're more than capable of making her cry.
Who do you think you are? Are you her brother or something?
I'm going to be her brother from now on.
It felt like I was destined to do that.
So if you ever touch her again, I'll just...
You'll just what? What will you do?
Come over here. You got your memory back, didn't you?
Right? You're just acting like you're not okay, aren't you?
- Come over here. - Don't do this to a patient.
You've retrieved your memory, haven't you?
Come here. Get over here.
Because I feel guilty. I stole her song twice.
I stole her future and dreams two times.
Of course I feel guilty.
What does it mean to feel guilty?
When you do something wrong,
you feel guilty.
The humans I met always said they couldn't remember anything...
even after they did something wrong.
Yes, some people are like that.
Then what about Seo Dong Cheon?
Should he feel guilty toward Kim I Gyeong?
He stole her precious songs twice, so I guess he feels guilty.
Then do I also need to feel that way for having stolen...
all those countless souls?
You need to have a soul in order to feel guilt.
How long are you going to be like this?
You're the CEO. Act like one.
Tae Kang.
Hello, Tae Kang.
Oh, hello. I'm sorry, but who are you?
I guess you're too busy to listen to K-pop.
My name is Joo Ra In.
I was recently named the sexiest idol star in Korea.
- Really? - I want the list of candidates...
- from the Rookie Development Team. - I am your fan.
- You want me to come outside? - Your drama is really fun.
- You're so talented and handsome. - Do you need it now?
- You can sit back down. - Thank you.
Hello.
Tae Kang.
I'll be starring in a drama soon.
I have so many questions to ask you because it's my first time acting.
Can we have a meal together one day?
- Sure. - My goodness. Really?
When's a good day for you? I'm free for dinner all week.
He has a very busy schedule...
Sure, let's eat tonight.
Okay.
You showed me so many emotions
You showed me so many different sides of you
What stories have been entertaining you?
Your busy day keeps on continuing
A substitute? What a joke.
I'm going to do things my way.
Oh, dear. I forgot.
This will kill you.
I only need one desperate soul.
Just thinking about you
- Do you wish to become a singer? - Yes.
- Are you desperate? - Yes.
- Enough to sell your soul for it? - Sorry?
What?
That was nothing.
I'm truly desperate and I've been training for long.
- You made yourself a promise. - I promise to do my best.
Please consider me.
Thank you for your consideration.
You should go home and rest.
Was my dozing off that obvious?
No, but your snoozing was.
All right, fine. I'll try harder.
It's fine. There aren't many left, so we'll take it from here.
Go home and get some rest.
Let's take a 10-minute break too.
- Sure. - All right.
Okay, now you're scaring me.
Only a few left? There are still over 20 applicants.
(Kim I Gyeong)
Seo Young.
Are you suddenly sending me home because of Kim I Gyeong?
Is this really necessary?
Didn't Attorney Min tell you?
She won't make the cut anyway.
(Kim I Gyeong)
From now on, don't use money or words...
to step on little worms.
Why did you have to show up in my life?
You're a funny one, aren't you?
Wasn't that worm analogy your way of saying...
that we should never cross paths again?
Why are you trying out for this audition?
What's your end game?
Is this why you threatened me?
You won't make it into the next round anyway.
You don't mean anything to us.
Don't bother coming.
Don't show your face here. Just don't.
Sure, I'm not going,
so don't worry.
(So Hee, thank you for coming to us.)
Our fans are gentle, aren't they?
Other celebrities even have stalkers as fans,
but our shippers only want what's best for us.
This is boring.
How would humans have evolved if they didn't have mouths?
Many preys were sacrificed by their teeth...
and their mouth feeds them the nutrients they need.
They spew meaningless words of self-satisfaction...
and even replenish the oxygen they need with it.
It's also used to profess love.
I just can't seem to understand these worthless beings.
Please give it up for the superstar of the day!
Hello.
On the day of So Hee's first birthday
All friends of hers have gathered
Isn't she Ashtray Girl from Seongbok High School?
I just got the chills.
What's with that outfit?
Having someone like her perform on a kid's first birthday?
I'm appalled.
Unbelievable.
Has she no shame?
What is she doing?
An angel's wings
Landed on So Hee's shoulders
My gosh, I absolutely love this.
Ms. Joo.
Standby.
On.
The pasta is rich and fat as it is,
but now you want me to stuff myself with cake?
Do you know how long I'll have to work out?
You forking imbeciles!
I'll grind your flesh and drink you like juice.
And you! Why have you been yawning all night?
You're bored?
I'm boring?
I'm Joo Ra In, you jerk!
Right?
I'm Joo Ra In.
Are you done then?
I'm afraid I have somewhere to be.
Well...
Ta-da!
This is my gift to the little angel.
Be a good girl and...
Honey, what are you doing?
It's you, isn't it?
Seongbok High.
I'm sorry.
I wouldn't have come had I known she was your daughter.
No, I won't accept this.
Just get lost already.
Right. Sure.
Where is the wench?
How dare they let a killer come here.
Which company hired her?
How dare they send a criminal to my granddaughter's party?
Darn it.
Get out of here. Get lost!
I'm sorry for ruining your party.
- Also, congratulations. - Shut it...
and just get out of here!
Unbelievable.
Ms. Kim I Gyeong.
Is this what you stood me up for?
- My gosh. - Let's go.
I'm famished.
- What? - Is this for real?
Why is she getting into his car?
Unbelievable.
(When the Devil Calls Your Name)
I sincerely prayed last night...
for someone to save me.
She was given probation...
since she was a minor and a victim of domestic violence.
I quit writing music.
She's a poor girl, you know.
I won't agree to that deal.
Then I'll take your soul.
Can I borrow that for a second?
The guitar suits you. Keep it.
Is it so hard for you to apologize?
I say this as the CEO of Soul Entertainment.
We'll keep things professional at work.
One must be a decent person first!
Can you even clean up after yourself?
Let's delete the recording first.
I'm afraid I can't.
Would you sell your soul in order to sing?
Something good will happen this time.
What will humans think of our contracts?
Will they be afraid of it?
Open your eyes and look around.
Look for the most desperate soul.
I will be here.
- Move out. - Can I have my deposit back?
Why is the world so cruel?
- Let's hire a housekeeper. - I'll do it.
Thank you for hiring me.
Get out this instant.
