I want to turn back time.
I want to go back to that morning.
I want to go back...
and make a different choice.
Then I wouldn't exist.
If you go back to that day
and not get on the train,
we wouldn't have met.
I love you.
Though you always lose...
Because you keep trying...
That was...
my first time saying that.
Consider it an honor.
What are you referring to?
What do you mean, what am I referring to?
Are you asking me because you really don't know?
Well...
"Take a breath now"?
No, not that.
Then...
Oh.
"If you go back to that day, I wouldn't exist"?
Gosh, no...
"I love you."
Said Koo Joon Hwi.
Coming from the SOB who won't even give up a corner of the bed,
I can trust it.
I'd like you to trust me.
I'll give you a corner of my bed.
So come rest by my side.
A good man, a good memory...
That's not how I want to be remembered.
I have no interest in becoming a memory.
Cheong Ah.
When I say...
I'm giving you a corner of my heart
means I'm giving you my life.
So,
you'll have to take me on.
Who could it be?
The person who went this far to frame Kang Shi Wol.
To be honest, I'm scared.
Once I answer,
I wonder what'll happen tomorrow.
Let's think about tomorrow when tomorrow comes.
Together.
I'm scared, too.
Be by my side.
All right.
I'll be by your side.
And let's get through it together.
Gosh.
[ Episode 77 ]
So, it looks like the heater's up and running again, Father.
Of course. It's your men you sent.
They were very thorough and did a great job.
Would you like to move to an entirely new house?
Somewhere roomier and more comfortable.
Why?
You'll move in with us?
Could I?
Of course not.
You think we don't have a room for you?
Think of what you've done.
Yes, I was shortsighted.
Not only are you shortsighted,
you have a small appetite, too.
Why are you having such trouble opening them?
Don't you like oysters?
They're great for men.
Of course, I like them, but
I'm used to eating shelled oysters.
Father,
Casanova's no match for me.
What?
Casanova? The womanizer?
Yes. He had fifty every morning.
Back in the day, I got through fifty of these no problem.
Punk...
Which "back in the day"?
Oh, no, no, Father.
When I was in my twenties. When I was a bachelor.
No...
When we were newlyweds.
Don't eat it and leave.
Leave right now!
Father.
I didn't think things through again.
Gosh...
I can't kill him, and I can't let him live.
I came back from the brink of death, Father.
I don't want to be lying down again.
Gosh, really...
No one's excited to see you.
And you're wearing out the threshold, paying lip service.
Gosh.
It's a miracle you're not an eyesore.
Right, Father?
I'm only an eyesore to Seol Ah.
Look. She won't come downstairs.
It's not just Seol Ah who won't come down. My wife can't either.
Thanks to you.
What do we do, Father?
What do you mean what to do?
If she doesn't give in after ten times, try a hundred times.
You're the only man in my Seol Ah's life.
Get it together!
And don't give up.
Geez.
Shell them up already and eat.
They'll be holding a disciplinary committee?
You said there wouldn't be any legal issues.
On what basis would they discipline her?
I'm not sure about that.
But it's true that the police force knows about Cheong Ah.
By chance...
do you think Team Leader Koo's mom spread the word?
I had the same hunch,
but I can't bear to ask Cheong Ah.
She's suffering alone, ignoring Joon Hwi's calls, too.
So, who did you hear it from?
That they'll be holding a disciplinary committee.
Huh?
Oh...
Honey.
Where's the rice wine?
Gosh, really. What are we supposed to do?
At this rate, he'll be reporting here every day after work.
Gosh. Let's go down and see.
We better send him home before they start drinking.
So, what's going on?
You're seeing me out to the front door.
It makes me not want to leave.
All right.
What are you doing?
They say when your wife's pretty, you even bow to your in-law's stake.
And you're pretty.
I just can't accept the reality that you're an ex-wife
who dislikes her ex-husband.
Go inside, already.
You're giving your ex-husband butterflies.
I came out because I have a favor to ask you.
A favor?
To stop coming to your house?
I'm not here to see you.
I came to see Father, okay?
To spend time with Father.
Don't fool yourself.
What a dangerous thought you have, Wifey.
Stop joking around.
Let's go somewhere for a cup of tea.
Not dinner, not drinks, but the scariest of them all,
a cup of tea?
It's not that...
Cheong Ah...
Huh?
That's Joon Hwi's car.
We'll see each other tomorrow, right?
Yes.
Drive safely.
Call me when you get home.
Huh?
Come again?
I'll pick up the phone.
So, drive carefully and don't speed.
I'll be careful.
All right, all right.
The beer is eagerly waiting.
Shall we take a sip?
You worked so hard to get through it thus far.
What are you going to do?
I don't know.
I'll think about tomorrow once tomorrow comes.
I'm trying not to worry in advance.
I'll become more thick-skinned.
What?
As you know,
I'm a mess right now.
He said that's okay.
He told me that it's okay that I'm exhausted.
All worn out,
I lied down on the ground wanting to give up on everything,
and he lay down next to me.
What?
You lied down?
Instead of saying "cheer up,"
he said, "I know."
So, I won't make him suffer any longer.
You must be worried.
Please worry about us more.
And help me, too.
I barely got to hold this hand.
All right. At times like this,
we start by raising our glasses.
Here.
You cannot.
You absolutely cannot.
However, I've been convinced.
They say they're suffering.
They say they can't break up. That they're in love.
Do you know how hard it is for me?
She won't even let me hold her hand.
Geez.
Look, look. You saw, right?
She won't let me touch her with a ten-foot pole. Joon Hwi...
You know what I'm talking about. I'm going crazy.
I still get butterflies.
When I look at her, I still get nervous every time.
And she says she's not even mad.
She doesn't even get jealous when I'm with another woman.
Hyung. Drink up.
Are you out? Here, drink mine.
Let's see. It's not that you hate me with a passion.
What you hate with a passion is the label of Do Jin Woo's wife.
But that's not something I can do anything about.
If I could, I want to take off that label,
and start over from the beginning.
Nice to meet you.
I am Do Jin Woo.
I have a crush on your smile.
I, too, shall lie down.
Excuse me, we've just met, but will you lie down by my side?
Hyung. Hyung. What are you doing? So embarrassing...
Get up.
- I'm okay. Sit back down. - How dare you make a scene?
All right, lie down all you want.
Whether we're strangers or acquaintances, I'll tread on you my way out.
Right.
I went overboard with the bare ground. It's not a bed.
I'm not even mad. I'm not even embarrassed.
Geez...
Kim Seol Ah, you didn't fall for it.
Joon Hwi. Cheong Ah. Listen carefully.
This is what being married is like.
I confess my love for her, and she says she'll tread on me.
You heard, right?
Not trample, but lightly tread.
This is real love.
[ Me ]
It's me.
Oh. "Me."
It popped up as "Me," so I was wondering who it was.
I never knew it'd be so difficult to get "me" to pick up my calls.
What am I saved as, by the way?
Huh?
Oh.
Ah...
Oh, ah?
Tell me already.
Kim Cheong Ah.
All right, Koo Joon Hwi.
"Me," my foot.
I'm changing it to "You."
I'll change it.
What are you up to?
Well...
I'm on the phone while changing into my PJs with one arm in.
Look at you, joking around.
Yeah, look at me.
You waited a while for my call, huh?
The driver was driving so slowly that I almost lashed out.
I was worried you might not pick up.
Listen to yourself.
You're becoming a human being. Right?
What?
Are you saying I wasn't a human this whole time?
I'm saying thank you.
You must be tired. Wash up and go to bed.
I don't want to.
Let's talk a little longer.
Just 30 seconds more.
What,
Thirty seconds, not even 30 minutes?
You have ways to go until you become human.
So, make me a human being.
I'll make an effort.
I'm going to hang up after 30 seconds.
You can hang up the phone,
but don't make an effort on my behalf.
It's been 30 seconds.
I'm hanging up. Goodnight.
[ Statement ]
[ Accident Details / Processing of Accident ]
They investigated 45 cars captured by the CCTV
at the entrance of the road?
[ CCTV Time of Recording / License Plate Number / Car Model ]
Then why...
I eat people.
One, two...
Three, including my mom.
What in the world? Cannibalism?
You don't have to tell me if you don't want to.
Why make things up?
One person died.
A few days ago.
[ Supreme Court ]
[ Supreme Court Judge Candidates - Park Sung Hoon, Hong Yoo Ra ]
Congratulations.
It's not like I've been named. What's to congratulate?
Everyone says it'll be you, Judge Hong.
Judges are not paperwork machines.
You said the current appeal structure needs to be reformed.
Please become the Supreme Court judge and save us all.
And also, please do some interviews.
Don't just reject them.
Let's not worry about that and get to work.
You may leave now.
All right.
Good day.
Yes.
Thank you for making the time.
I'm here because I have something to return to you.
What are you doing right now?
The hit-and-run.
Joon Gyeom caused it, right?
What did you say?
Joon Gyeom said something to me before he passed away.
That he became a monster.
That he eats people.
Kang Shi Wol, Park Kkeut Soon,
and his mom, too.
What?
I didn't know what that meant back then,
but now I know. So...
please tell me the truth.
Tell you the truth about what?
You kept your mouth shut for ten years, and now what?
He said something to you before he died?
This is the first time I'm hearing about this.
Stop mindlessly spouting nonsense.
Autopsy. You wanted to do it.
You wanted to know.
You had a suspicion, didn't you?
I couldn't believe what you had said.
I feel the same way now.
Who else are you trying to kill now?
Must you swallow up my Joon Hwi as well?
I feel like I keep losing.
I'm scared that I'll continue to lose.
What do I do?
What are you thinking?
Why are you doing this to me while seeing Joon Hwi behind my back?
How much longer must I bear with you?
I read the investigation records.
And?
The car Joon Gyeom was driving. Whose car is it?
Were you just a witness, or were you in the car with him that day?
How did you drive by there and become the initial informant?
They looked into 45 cars that
drove on that street before and after the accident,
yet they didn't search the informant's car.
I find that strange.
Is it also a coincidence that you sponsored Kang Shi Wol?
Please tell me.
I'm so afraid that Joon Hwi will find out.
Don't you dare mention my son's name with your horrendous mouth.
All you have is talk. Bring me the evidence.
The law deals with proof, not impressions.
Don't babble nonsense to Joon Hwi.
It may be okay for you to hurt me,
but please do not hurt my son.
Thanks to you, my heart's already being torn to shreds.
[ Paju Woori Hospital ]
The truth about that day...
I don't know why you are curious about that,
but if you want to know more about that old lady,
call Paju Woori hospital.
She was hospitalized there for a long time.
[ Koo Joon Hwi ]
I'm not able to show you patient records.
I'm not asking you to show me patient records.
I'm asking for the contact information of her caregiver or social worker.
Could I ask you why?
Because I can't ask dead people questions.
How the accident happened, how she passed away...
I would really like to know.
Without any family or friends, I heard she passed away lonely and bitter.
If only I knew where she was buried,
I'd like to visit her though it's late.
Please, I beg of you.
The caregiver of that patient still works at our hospital.
Why don't you meet her?
Yes. Thank you.
She was sent over here half-dead from a big hospital.
They said she's hopeless. She came here to die.
Was there anyone who came to visit?
Like a middle-aged woman.
I'm not sure about a woman,
but I remember her grandson visiting.
I thought she didn't have any family or friends,
but one day, a boy in a school uniform was sobbing by her bedside.
- A boy in a school uniform? - Yes.
That grandson paid all the overdue hospital bills,
and placed Ms. Kkeut Soon in a charnel house, who was about to receive
a funeral for those without family.
What did he say his name was?
I don't remember his name.
He was sobbing so much
that I couldn't speak with him.
Could you tell me where the charnel house is?
Instead of asking me,
look for that grandson.
He must be all grown up now.
Yes.
They looked into 45 cars that
drove on that street before and after the accident,
yet they didn't search the informant's car.
I find that strange.
Is it also a coincidence that you sponsored Kang Shi Wol?
[ Pixiu Mala Hongtang ]
Ma'am.
We're closed for break.
I'm not here for a meal.
I'm here to see a part-timer named Kang Shi Wol.
You really came.
I didn't mean it, but you came all the way here.
You should've called instead.
Do you have a moment to talk?
Come outside.
"You came all the way here. You should've called instead"?
Who in the world is he?
How come she looks familiar?
- This Friday? - Yes.
The lawyer said that's the only time that works this week.
I set an appointment for after you get off work.
- Are you busy then? - Even if I am, I should meet him.
It's for the retrial.
Of course, yes.
Is there anything I should prepare?
Well, just comb through your memory of that day.
How it was when they investigated you, everything.
Got it.
Anyway,
aren't you busy? You're a Supreme Court judge.
You could've called or texted.
You said to come by some time.
I was curious about what kind of place you work at.
Our break is almost over.
Why don't you have a bowl of mala soup?
Don't worry about paying.
Why? You'll treat me?
That much leeway I have.
It's great to see you be accepted.
Let's just say I ate it.
All right then.
Go inside already.
It's not good to leave your post for too long.
Go, then.
I swear I've seen her before.
Hey, hey.
Who is that woman? What does she do?
She's a Supreme Court judge.
Supreme Court judge?
How does a punk like you know a Supreme Court judge?
A punk like me?
You know what I mean.
Supreme Court judges are the highest among judges.
- How do you know someone like that? - Quit it.
- Why are you so curious? - It's just that...
I feel like I've seen her before at least once.
You haven't met with Koo Joon Hwi's family for marriage, right?
What nonsense is that out of nowhere?
Meet the family?
That ahjumma is Koo Joon Hwi's mom.
What?
Hey, you punk.
You should've told me that in the first place.
I would've greeted her.
- Greet her for what? - For what?
We might become in-laws.
It's good to greet each other early on.
- If she's a Supreme Court judge... - Ahjussi.
Don't you want better for Officer Kim?
What did you say?
I feel like she's totally out of his league.
What's up with that punk?
Could it be...
that he has feelings for my Cheong Ah?
Gosh.
God forbid.
You met with Park Kkeut Soon's caregiver?
And?
Did you hear anything there?
Well...
School uniform...
It's been ten years, so she couldn't remember much.
She doesn't know where the charnel house is either.
The charnel house?
It'll be tough to find that in the first place,
but do you think we'll find any clue there?
Even if there's no clue, I wanted to go and pay my respects.
If you find it, let me go with you.
I want to pay my respects, too.
Okay.
Is everything okay at the station?
Yes. Well...
I've been giving out favors and begging them to eat with me,
but I think they need time.
Right.
You must be tired after visiting the hospital.
Get some rest.
I will.
Sweet dreams.
Dream about me, if you can.
Goodnight to you, too, Joon Hwi.
[ Inter Market ]
Whoa. How could someone like this be a cop?
What is it? Is there an article?
Once again, a female cop is causing problems.
This is why they shouldn't have female cops.
How could you say that, Manager?
Are you a misogynist?
What did I say?
I'm just saying facts.
How is that facts? It's so far-fetched.
- No? - Yes, yes.
Aigoo.
I should keep my mouth shut.
Got it.
I'll just shut up and quietly write comments. Happy?
Manager, if you write one wrong comment,
- you'd be in trouble. - Am I the only one?
It's a riot out there. People want her fired.
What did that female officer do?
She conspired to commit suicide and was accessory to suicide.
And that's not all.
She manipulated and disposed of evidence.
How could they select someone like that as a cop?
- What kind of article is it? - Look, look, look.
Yeoui Police Station?
[ Active Duty Female Police Officer...]
[ Conspiracy to Commit Suicide and Accessory to Suicide Revealed ]
Team Leader!
Where are you going when we have a meeting?
Delete your comment.
What?
How would I...
What's the matter?
I said to delete it right now.
What's going on?
- It's the captain! - Someone's coming out.
- Isn't Officer Kim Cheong Ah coming out? - Stop this and leave.
Think of the civilians.
If we can't interview inside, Officer Kim Cheong Ah can step outside.
We're assessing the situation.
I can't let Officer Kim Cheong Ah do an interview.
Then is the article from this morning false?
Attempted suicide, conspiracy to commit suicide, accessory to suicide...
- If it's not true, she can say so. - Look here.
How many times must I say it? She's off-duty today.

- If it's not true, she can say so. - Look here.

Should someone with her track record be allowed to be a cop?
I have nothing more to say.
- Please leave. Let's go in. - Pardon?
- Please leave. - Comments, please!
Kim Cheong Ah.
Let's go.
Mom. Dad.
Oh, my gosh.
It's too early to be making a ruckus.
Is it true that...
Cheong Ah tried to commit suicide a long time ago?
Wha... what?
What are you talking about?
Look at this.
Is this news fake, then?
What's going on, Mom?
Is it true?
How dare they...
Dad.
Dad, what is this? Tell me. What is this?
Hey. Call Cheong Ah right now. Now!
- She's not picking up. - What did they write?
What do they know?
Who is it? Is it Cheong Ah?
No, it's Seol Ah.
Yes. Yes, Unni.
What do we do about Cheong Ah?
You already saw the news?
Do Mom and Dad know?
Yes...
And?
Are Mom and Dad okay?
I don't know.
What do we do, Unni?
I'll be right there after my morning meeting.
Please take care of Mom and Dad until then.
Okay. All right.
Hey. It's me.
I saw the news.
How's your sister?
I can't get a hold of her.
The reporters must've followed her to the station.
By chance...
have you spoken to your father on the phone?
I called him a few times, but he's not picking up.
I see.
Tae Rang.
Why don't we talk again a little later?
Okay, got it.
If I get a hold of my dad and hear something, I'll let you know.
The customer is not answering the phone. After the beep...

[ Past Conspiracy to Commit Suicide and Accessory to Suicide Revealed ]
Gosh, this is crazy...
Kim Cheong Ah.
Are you okay?
It's a riot out there.
So why did you act up, Kim Cheong Ah?
Aren't you going to work?
Of course, I am.
I'll leave once Ms. Moon gets here. Leave first.
What are you so happy about?
Why?
Do I look happy?
Yes.
Your face is glowing like never before.
Yeah?
Nothing much is going on. I wonder why.
Cheong Ah...
Honey.
Do you think...
Jin Woo would be able to take down these articles?
Jin Woo?
Yeah.
To those folks, putting up and taking down
an article like this is nothing.
Honey.
I know how you feel right now, but
beggars can't be choosers.
Our Cheong Ah's at stake here.
I'll go.
What?
I'll...
meet with Jin Woo and ask him myself.
Honey.
What's the matter?
It's nothing.
So, at this moment, Cheong Ah is...
I can't get a hold of her.
I'm sorry.
To ask you for such a ridiculous favor.
No, don't worry.
It concerns my sister-in-law of all the people.
And it's a little strange that these articles all went live at once.
That's just my guess.
In any case, I'll do my best
to block further spreading of the news.
Please go home and rest for now,
and give Father my regards.
Oh, and please let me know
when you reach Cheong Ah.
Yes, of course.
Thank you...
so much.
It's nothing.
That woman came to see Jin Woo...
And Jin Woo immediately
ordered them to take down the news about Kim Cheong Ah.
Yes.
What should we do?
What do you mean?
Tell them to put up more articles.
More?
Why?
Nothing.
I understand, Chairwoman.
[ Inter Market ]
Enjoy.
Eat something.
Eat and...
This is Reporter Han Young Joo from Jodong Daily.
Could we speak on the phone briefly?
This is Reporter Kim Boo Min.
Could I give you a call?
What is it?
What do I do?
The reporters have found out my number.
After we eat,
let's go get a new phone.
The reporters might follow you home,
so let's hide for a while.
Okay.
Thank you for taking care of my Cheong Ah, Team Leader Koo.
Is she hurt or injured anywhere?
Yes.
I can wait to hear her voice.
So, please take good care of her, Team Leader Koo.
No, no.
Yes.
There were some reporters lurking
in front of our door in the morning,
but they're gone now.
Yes, yes. Okay.
So that Cheong Ah doesn't worry,
text us updates from time to time.
Was that Team Leader Koo?
How is Cheong Ah?
The reporters swarmed to the station,
and Team Leader Koo was able to whisk her away just in time.
He said it'd be best to go into hiding for now, so I said okay.
Mom, I heard you went to see Jin Woo.
Did you see him?
Oh, right.
Yes. Did Jin Woo say he can block it?
He says he'll try his best.
He said he'll block it to the best of his ability.
Sorry.
While I was dilly-dallying,
you were tasked with a difficult ask.
No.
You're not in the position to ask him easily.
And it's not your own issue.
Yes.
Jin Woo's on it, so let's take a breath,
and wait and see.
And Honey and you guys, too,
don't even glance at the articles.
Especially the comments. Don't look at them. Got it?
Knock, knock.
What are you staring at?
Why did you buy so much stuff?
So that we stay until we finish eating all this.
I was about to buy out the entire store,
but I left some for the neighbors to eat.
Let's stay here hiding.
What about work?
I took time off.
- Nonsense. - Right?
So let's not speak at all,
and just eat and sleep, eat and sleep...
Let's lie around like newborns.
What do you think?
What? Like newborns?
Yeah. So, don't say anything.
Don't think anything.
You didn't eat anything earlier, so you must be hungry.
Wait just a little. I'll fix you something delicious.
I called your father, by the way.
He'd be shocked if he called and heard the number is disconnected.
He said to take it easy,
so don't worry.
Enjoy.
The number you dialed does not exist. Please check...
The number does not exist?
This is what it feels like to be a runaway.
Still, I like it.
Yeah.
It's nice to be all alone together somewhere
so quiet without anybody around.
What are you talking about? I meant I like the scenery.
Why don't we stay like this and never go back?
Are we allowed to?
I'd like to.
We can,
and we're allowed to.
Take a nap.
Don't think about anything and sleep tight.
Don't go.
What?
You take a nap, too, Joon Hwi.
You want me to sleep next to you?
I think I'll be able to sleep better with you next to me.
Okay.
♫ Love is so painful ♫
♫ I didn't know it would become a scar ♫
♫ I didn't know how much it would hurt ♫

♫ That's why, we've become a mess of scars ♫
♫ Because you're in my eyes ♫
You know this?
How precious you are to me.
So...
take care of yourself before anything.
♫ That's why it hurts so much, you can cry ♫
♫ It's alright ♫
♫ I'm barely holding it in ♫
♫ But what I want to say is, "I love you" ♫
Yes, Captain.
No. It worked out for the best.
I don't want to cause more trouble for others, either.
Yes.
Yes, I got it.
Who were you talking to?
You woke up?
What do you mean you're okay,
and you don't want to cause more trouble?
It was the station captain.
I called him because I thought he might be worried.
Perhaps over what happened yesterday.
The disciplinary committee will meet tomorrow.
It's today since it's past midnight.
What?
Disciplinary committee?
There've been talking about it from before.
The legal statute of limitations has run out,
but I'm a police officer.
That doesn't make any sense.
It happened so long ago.
And what did you do wrong exactly?
It's not important when it happened.
And this is a cross I have to bear my whole life.
Cheong Ah.
Let's go back.
We can't just keep hiding like this.
Thanks to you, Joon Hwi,
I think I can get through it.
If I have to quit being an officer, I'm prepared to.
Until then, I want to do my best and not give up.
I had said life becomes warped when the truth is warped.
Do you remember that?
Yes.
You also said you couldn't continue
living like this, caught up in twisted lies.
Yes.
I kept thinking about that today.
Would that be all right?
Mom.
I'm here.
That's Cheong Ah's voice, right?
Cheong Ah.
Mom.
I'm sorry, Mom.
Hey.
Are you okay? Are you really okay?
I'm sorry, Dad. To have worried you.
You little punk...
Unni!
Cheong Ah...
You must've been worried.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Cheong Ah.
I didn't know anything. I'm so sorry.
Because of the articles, they moved up the disciplinary committee?
I think so.
But seriously...
to move forward with disciplinary action without
investigating thoroughly is ridiculous.
I'm sure they'll give me a chance to explain myself.
There's no guarantee that people will believe what you say.
Whether they believe it or not, I'll just speak the truth.
Even that will make me feel freer and more comfortable.
Worst case scenario,
would you have to quit being a police officer?
I'm not sure yet.
Gosh, I can't believe it.
- This is all because... - Unni.
Your brother-in-law said
he'd try blocking the articles.
It's okay, Mom.
Nothing will change by blocking the articles.
It's not something to be forgotten by running away or hiding.
Do you want me to come with you?
It's okay, Dad.
That'll make it harder for me.
Joon Hwi said he'd come, but I said no.
I just hope that...
no matter what conclusion the disciplinary committee arrives at,
you don't get disappointed.
Even if people point fingers at me,
as long as my family believes me,
that's all I need.
Director Cha, what's going on?
Why do Kim Cheong Ah articles keep popping up?
If you don't know, who knows?
Did you contact them to take down the articles?
I got it.
Look into it and report back.
The disciplinary committee has been moved up to today?
Yes.
I thought it might be some time next week,
but it was moved up suddenly yesterday.
She won't get fired, though, right?
As of now, it's unclear.
How come?
Because of the articles?
Yes. Since the articles went live on multiple places at the same time.
Isn't it a little weird?
It happened long ago, and it's not worth that kind of spotlight.
Yet there are so many articles on it.
As if someone hired an army of people to write comments.
So many vicious comments, too.
Thanks for the meal.
A reporter?
This is Reporter Lee Moon Suk from Hangang Daily.
Should I continue posting Kim Cheong Ah articles?
The editors are saying it's not newsworthy and to pull it.
Have you seen my phone?
What?
The articles about Officer Kim Cheong Ah.
Did you tell them to post them?
What?
Lee Moon Suk from Hangang Daily is asking if he should keep posting them.
What is he talking about?
- What is? - I said, what is he saying?
Hyung!
What's the matter?
What is it that you're yelling so early in the morning?
Hae Rang, did you do something wrong to your brother again?
It's not that. I'm leaving.
Hey, Moon Hae Rang!
What is it?
It's nothing.
Speak. What's going on?
Later, Father.
What brings you here?
- Are you here to see Tae Rang? - No.
To see you.
Why me all of a sudden?
The more I think about it, I can't forgive you.
Why are you acting like this out of the blue?
Out of the blue, I can't tolerate my sister suffering because of you.
I believe expulsion would be the right choice.
Expulsion for something like that?
Do you think the rest of the police force would stay quiet?
They're not our concern right now.
Listen to public opinion. The public.
Can't you tell that we'll be
persecuted by the masses if we assign a light penalty?
It's only been a day.
If we get pushed around by the public opinion without understanding the truth,
could you handle the consequences?
This is such a sensitive issue
that we cannot ignore public opinion.
Why is that my fault?
What did you say?
Why is it my fault that Cheong Ah is suffering?
You're so shameless.
Did I tell Cheong Ah to kill herself?
Did I tell her to commit suicide?
Why did Cheong Ah decide to commit suicide?
Why did she try to kill herself?
- Because I bullied her? - Isn't it?
Do all bullied kids commit suicide?
What?
Why are you arguing with me about Kim Cheong Ah's lack of will?
The world better find out what kind of a person you are.
No, before that, your father better know who you are,
so come inside with me.
- Come here. - Are you crazy?
- Let go of me. What are you doing? - Stop it!
Dad.
I'm sorry.
I'll scold Hae Rang,
so could you please leave?
Please leave.
Dad.
What that woman said is...
Dad.
How could you...
hit me, Dad?
Dad, how could you hit me?
How could you, Dad?
Officer Kim Cheong Ah.
- Yes. - Please come in.
♫ That's why, we've become a mess of scars ♫
♫ Because you're in my eyes ♫
♫ My heart hurts even more ♫
♫ That's why it hurts so much ♫
[ Beautiful Love, Wonderful Life ]
Certificates of excellence?
I'll let the world know what Cheong Ah is like.
I have a witness, too.
Instead of taking it, I'll turn around the public opinion.
The police are to protect the citizens' lives and bodies.
And you did what?
A policeman saves lives.
How could you be a cop when you tried to die with another person?
Officer Kim Cheong Ah.
Mother, let me stay one night, please.
You said one day.
- Honey. - Dad!
If you're done, get up.
I'd like to stay at your place for a while, Father.
- What? - What did you say?
