(The guardians of child actors were present at the filming.)
I don't need explanations.
I believe you.
I do.
That was really dangerous.
It could have turned out badly.
(Episode 9)
Gosh, your house looks amazing.
Were you listening?
Yes. I heard you just now and earlier too.
You're not hurt. And you're home safely.
I think we can talk about something else.
That man is the girl's brother, right?
Yes.
What was she like?
Your late girlfriend.
(Congratulations on getting accepted to SNU, Kim Seung Ju.)
- Over here. - Let's take a picture.
- Gosh. Hello. - Congratulations.
In 1, 2, 3.
(Graduation)
- You're the best, my son. - Why do you keep staring at him?
Just go.
Where were you?
Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Let's take a picture together. - Okay.
Let's take a picture.
In 1, 2, 3.
- Say, "Cheese kimchi." - "Cheese kimchi?"
Come on. Stand closer.
We were each other's first love.
And we liked each other a lot.
When I started going to college in Seoul,
we had to stay apart.
But I thought it wouldn't be a problem
back then.
Can't you stay here?
I think I'm going to miss you a lot. Please?
My classes start tomorrow.
Should I take a later bus?
Should I take the last bus out?
You should just go.
But
you have to wear your ring all the time.
Don't take it off. Okay?
Okay. I won't.
But she must have felt insecure that I was going to Seoul.
Can't I just live with you in Seoul?
You know that I'm staying in the dorm right now.
And
I don't think I can come down next week.
I have to study for my midterms.
You already took the exam.
That was the performance test for my major.
Just because I'm not going to college,
you think I'm clueless and you're lying to me, right?
I'm not lying.
Then come see me on Friday next time.
Coming here a day early isn't that hard.
Going back and forth isn't easy for me.
I have group projects, lessons, and tutoring sessions.
I take care of them during the week. I have to make time to come here.
But if you act like this every time I come here
This is hard for me too.
You've changed.
You once told me that not seeing me was harder.
What are you doing?
If you're going to leave me too, I'd rather die.
Stop it.
I don't have any dreams.
You are my dream.
But how come you have so many important things?
You keep putting other things before me.
I can't lose you any more than I already did.
I'm hanging by a thread,
and it feels like it's going to snap!
Okay. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Back then,
I thought she behaved that way because she loved me a lot.
I thought
there wouldn't be a problem if I made her happy.
What are you doing?
What? I was
I was just
(Don't contact me again. If you do, I'll kill you.)
(I'm busy, so don't contact me again.)
They were clingy and pestering you.
So I took care of them for you.
You're really nice to other women.
If you're half as nice to me as you are
Stop it!
Seung Ju.
Seung Ju, I'm sorry. Let's sit down.
- What was that? - Gosh.
Seung Ju
Seung Ju.
Seung Ju.
Let's break up.
I can't do this anymore. I want to break up.
No.
I told you.
You are my dream.
How could I
be your dream?
Everything I do with you is my dream.
Are you
seeing another woman in Seoul?
I still regret the lie I told her that night.
Yes. You're right. I like someone else now.
Who?
Is it that girl?
The girl who cried next to you on the orientation trip.
The girl from your class.
Or Wait. Is it her?
The girl you pulled an all-nighter for the group project.
You said you bought her a coffee too.
Don't tell me it's her.
The high school girl you tutored. The one from a rich family.
Hey. Who is it?
Who is she? Tell me!
- Let go of me. - Stop it. What are you doing?
Let go of me!
Who is it? So who is this girl?
Just tell me who she is!
Give it back.
Seung Ju.
I'll be a better girlfriend than her.
You know that I can't live without you!
I'm going to die. I'm serious!
Fine. If you want to die, then do it. Die!
I wanted to look back.
But if I looked back,
I was afraid everything would repeat.
(Music Hall)
Mr. Kim Seung Ju?
Yes. Who are you?
I'm Detective Kwak Jin Hyuk
from the Violent Crime Unit of Hakcheon Police Station.
You're under arrest for the murder of Choi Eom Ji.
What?
You have the right to an attorney.
You have the right to remain silent.
("Applied Vocal Music")
We found your shirt in your closet.
It's the shirt you wore that night.
And we found her blood and your blood from the shirt.
Did you kill Choi Eom Ji?
Yes.
I killed her.
How did you kill her?
What about her body?
Where's her body?
You confessed? What are you talking about?
They didn't find anything. Why did you confess?
She died because of me.
- Because of me. - Get your act together!
Your lawyer will be here shortly.
Her body wasn't even found yet.
You can get acquitted of this charge.
You know that this is an important time for me.
They'll review the validity of the warrant.
Let's make sure it goes our way. Okay?
So
I recanted my testimony that I didn't kill her.
Deuk Chan corroborated my alibi.
Eom Ji's body was never found.
So I was acquitted.
Afterwards, I changed my name.
If I didn't tell her
what I said,
she wouldn't have died, right?
I shouldn't have said that.
I could've said all the other mean things.
But I shouldn't have told her to die.
No wonder why it came across as a lie.
You said you didn't kill her.
But deep down, you think you're responsible.
But after hearing the whole story
Do Ha.
Seung Ju, you didn't kill her.
You didn't kill her.
Hey, you. Come here.
Gosh, I can't believe this.
You're a reporter, right?
Yes.
I know that Kim Do Ha lives here.
Imagine how desperate I must be to do this.
I'm trying to earn a living. Can't you help me out here?
I can't help you even if I wanted to.
He hasn't been home.
It's been a while since he came back.
Even reporters stopped coming here a while ago.
Gosh. News travels slow for you.
- Did he move? - I don't know.
Get out of here. Come on.
Seriously.
(He hasn't been home for a while.)
I'll find you.
I will find you no matter what.
Okay?
Gosh.
Sorry about that.
You killed a girl. Do you think an apology can fix everything?
What? I didn't kill anyone.
Gosh.
Eom Ho might recognize you.
What?
How would he recognize me?
He saw you in Hakcheon.
Get up.
- You're coming with me. - So get lost!
- What's going on? - What's wrong with him?
Don't you remember? You sat next to me that day.
What?
It was you?
When did you remember that?
The first moment I saw you after moving to Yeonseo-dong.
Why didn't you tell me right away?
I thought you didn't lie.
But I guess you just didn't talk.
I'm sorry.
Back then, I was afraid that you would find out who I was.
I couldn't even take off my mask.
But I doubt that Choi Eom Ho will remember me.
The fact that you still remember that is amazing.
I found you
fascinating.
Is that a compliment or what?
Anyway,
come back to Yeonseo-dong.
I doubt that Choi Eom Ho knows you're staying in Yeonseo-dong.
Even if he comes back, I can listen to his lies.
I'll take that as a yes and go back first.
Wait.
Why?
Can you sleep over?
What?
He still might be around the apartment.
If you go now, you might be in danger.
I see.
Okay.
You can sleep here.
Then what about you?
I usually sleep on the sofa.
I can't fall asleep on the bed.
That's true.
Do you need anything else?
Comfortable clothes?
Comfortable clothes.
Wait.
Liverpool?
I'll get you back for this.
Goodnight.
(Sleep inducer)
Because of that,
utilizing the players in the countryside can be iffy.
Looking at his last game in Bilbao,
he demonstrated a risk for the team.
It's important to figure out how the coach will alleviate that.
Actually, Pedri won't be playing today due to his injury.
Are you up?
Who's going to fill in for Pedri? Will it be Kessie? Or Sertz?
Yes.
What are you doing still up?
(Kim Do Ha: What are you doing still up?)
I can't sleep.
It feels weird to sleep on your bed.
I had never let anyone sleepover at my house.
So it feels weird.
Not even once?
That's right.
I should hear these things in person.
The El Clasico derby starts in ten minutes.
Shall we watch it together?
That'd be nice, but
I'm a little hungry.
(I'm a little hungry.)
How did you do this?
Are you sure you've done this before?
Oh, my.
It looks like it's snowing.
By the way, how long have you been living here?
Well About two years?
I see.
I'm suddenly grateful to Syaon.
Without the dating scandal with her, you would've kept living here.
At first, I thought this place was very fancy.
But thinking that this was your world
It's quite lonely.
Oh, my.
My gosh. This screen is huge!
It looks like a movie theatre.
This is insanely cool.
Oh, my.

When did you become a soccer fan?
When I was little.
For some reason, I thought my dad always looked sad.
But he looked so happy whenever he was watching soccer.
I felt like going into a penalty shootout after overtimes
meant that my dad could be happy for that much longer.
That's why I liked it.
So you started liking it because of your father.
At the beginning, yes.
Now, I like it for a different reason.
In soccer, lies are useless.
You can believe what you see.
That's why I like it.
You're
like soccer.
Oh, the noodles will swell up.
Let's eat.
He's dutifully playing his role.
- So far, he hasn't let us down. - That's right.
The current score is
Here he comes.
- Right behind him - Wait!
- It'll go in! - He kicked the ball!
My, the goalkeeper defended well.
That's nothing impressive.
A goalkeeper should do that much.
No, I beg to differ.
It curved after hitting the defender,
then it rebounded.
There was no rebound, and the defender wasn't hit.
He was!
He was hit. They'll show it now. Watch.
- Right there. - Go!
- See? It hit him! - No, it did not.
- It hit him. Look! - Look at that!
It went between his legs.
No! It hit the back of his leg.
- No, it didn't. - It did!
- Look. It really didn't. - See that? No!
It went that way because it hit the back of his leg.
It hit him.
Sure, if you say so.
All right.
Gosh, he really was hit.
The phone is turned off.
Please leave a message after the tone.
Where did she go?
Sol Hee.
Sol Hee.
Who are you?
Sol Hee, where are you? Sol Hee.
- Sol Hee, are you in there? - You can't go in there.
Oh! Hello, ma'am.
Ms. Mok isn't here today.
Oh. Well
My daughter, Sol Hee
Do you know if she's seeing someone?
You know how she is.
She rarely tells us things about her personal life.
My gosh. Because of that guy,
I haven't been able to sleep for the past few days.
It's not easy to find a good-looking man
who's also competent.
Oh, is Ms. Hunter dating
a good-looking guy?
I came here to ask you that very question.
She's not even answering my calls.
Would you like a cup of coffee?
Yes, an iced Americano.
Oh, dear. I made that mistake when I was younger.
I see.
I married Sol Hee's father solely based on his looks.
He kind of looked like Antonio Banderas, the actor.
I didn't even consider anything else.
Like an idiot.
That's how I ruined my life.
I see. That's how you ruined your life.
Do daughters inherit their mothers' taste in men?
Hello, excuse me.
Hello, sir.
We're
writers of a TV show
called "I Live in Nature."
Could we have a quick chat?
Please leave. I'm not interested.
Well
Say something.
The thing is, sir
We really struggled to climb up here.
We didn't even have breakfast. I really am about to pass out.
Me too. I feel like I'm about to faint.
(Mok Tae Sub)
Then I'll make you a bowl of spicy noodles.
You can sit here and wait.
- My gosh. Thank you. - Thank you!
What?
He said he couldn't sleep, but he's fast asleep.
He looks handsome even in the morning.
He had ramyeon last night.
Gosh!
If you sear it until the outside looks a little burnt,
it looks even more delicious.
No, that's not true.
Hello.
Why do you think my nickname was Pig?
What happened was I was going to walk past you
but stepped on the remote.
Let's see which one tastes better.
It's burning.
- Goodness. Look, it's burnt! - Oh, my. That looks fun.
Gosh.
Have you done stuff like that before?
No, never.
Same here, except for when I was little.
That must be nice.
Gosh, the sun's up.
(Mother)
The person is unable to answer the phone.
My gosh!
- Hello, Assemblywoman Jung. - Yes, hello.
How's your prep for the TV debate going?
Gosh, I'm so nervous that it's driving me crazy.
Oh, please. I know you're just saying that.
You worked as a spokesman in the past.
Well, we already know the questions we'll be asked, so
The candidates should all get together for a meal soon.
Let's show the party members that it's a healthy competition.
Yes, sir. I'll do my best.
Even if you're not nominated,
you should sincerely applaud the one that got nominated.
- Let's go. - Yes, sir.
Can't you go faster?
(Mok Sol Hee)
Drive right behind me.
Don't lose me.
Okay, I won't.
Okay.
If you suddenly bring me to a place like this
You said you wanted to check out a camp ground.
Right, but we should've come prepared.
I can't believe we came here empty-handed.
Beginners need good equipment.
Look at that.
Over there. They have almost everything except for a dishwasher.
Just wait.
(Geumeun Morae Camping Site, Yeoju)
Hello.
I rented the full set.
All of this?
- Where should I put this? - Over here, please.
- Right in the middle. - The middle?
Okay.
Like this?
What? Really?
Hold on.
Oh, this isn't it. You don't know how to do it.
No, this is wrong.
This side should be
Like this, right?
Look at you.
Well done.
Good job.
- Have some water. - Thanks.
Look at all the meat you're throwing into the fire.
Isn't it good?
- My goodness. - That's hot!
What was that?
Sol Hee, are you all right?
- Yes, I'm fine. - It must've totally startled you.
Why is this so hard to peel?
Ta-Da!
My dad would love this place.
It's nice here.
Thank you, Mr. Kim Do Ha.
Well, I guess it's hard for you to quit that habit.
Last time, we said we'd get on a first-name basis. Am I wrong?
Well
Mr. Kim Do Ha and Do Ha sound similar enough.
All right, then. Ms. Mok Sol Hee.
Gosh, seriously.
Fine. I'll try harder.
By the way, why did you suddenly decide to believe me?
It sounded like a lie to you.
I don't know either.
I guess I wanted to believe you more than my ears
which I had been relying on for 27 years.
I must say, it's so fascinating.
Five years ago, you sat next to me on the bus.
Then you became my next-door neighbour.
And now, you're sitting right next to me.
Right?
I suppose you're my fate.
I'm fascinated again.
Back then, I thought you were my fate too.
Now, you don't think that?
Are you cold?
A little.
We've tracked down the suspect's vehicle.
We'll block and stake out these exit routes.
- Kang Min, you'll be here. - Yes, sir.
- And this is where you'll be. - Yes, sir. Got it.
- He's dead meat. - Let's go!
- Hurry. - See you later!
If someone else comes to mind
at a moment like this, does it mean I'm crazy?
Wait up! I'm coming with you.
Are you in a bad mood?
How could I be in a good mood?
We're heading out to catch a scumbag who stabbed someone and fled.
No, it's not about that. You seem a little different today.
Don't worry about my mood. Just focus on catching the suspect.
Yes, sir!
I'm curious about something.
Then how do promises sound like to you?
Even if you really meant it when you made the promise,
you could have a change of heart later on.
If you truly mean it the moment you say it,
it sounds true to me.
"I'll love you forever."
Then stuff like that would sound true too.
But those things don't mean much as there are so many variables.
I tell my clients
not to blindly believe promises or pledges.
I tell them to get a clear answer.
A clear answer? Like what?
For example
"The person I love the most now is you."
Answers like this are most succinct and precise.
The person I love the most now
is you, Sol Hee.
Look, this is yummy.
Is it good?
How come I can't reach you?
I'm worried. Call me.
Here, try it.
Do you like it?
Yummy.
(Seo Jun: I miss you.)
I'll call you when my husband falls asleep.
- Mom! - Oh, no!
Is she okay?
It's not hot.
Her skin is so delicate.
Yes, baby.
(Seo Jun: Okay, text me before calling. Love you.)
It's okay, baby.
Yes, it's okay.
Yes, you're okay now.
- It's okay. - Honey.
- Yes? - Mom!
Yes, my baby.
Mom!
- Mom! - Shall I warm up her food again?
Yes, just put it in the microwave for a minute.
Yes. It's okay, baby.
Mom!
Mom!
Mom!
Mom!
Mom!
Give me another mug.
No, since I'm full, give me soju.
Hey, don't drink both. You'll get a headache.
Stop drinking.
I'm here as a customer.
I said stop drinking. Gosh.
Is this the only pub? I can just go somewhere else.
Hey, get it together.
Let go.
What's wrong with you?
Hey.
Does not getting asked on a second date make you this distressed?
You only met him for three hours.
Why are you acting like you've seen him for three years?
I
I really liked him.
You don't know anything.
I didn't know you were so easily lovestruck.
When we were dating,
didn't it take us about 2 to 3 months to kiss?
Be quiet. Someone will hear.
- Happy now? - Gosh.
I can't stay still with this song.
- Hey, what's wrong with you? - Listen up, people.
Please pay attention to me.
Do you all know the dance move trending in Paris?
I'm scared, gosh.
- What? - Hey.
I'm sorry. She's pretty drunk.
Don't mind her.
Come on!
Hey! Come on!
You know this, right?
Nice!
Cool.
Hold on.
This is great!
Yes, it's me. Please stop staring at me.
Yes, ma'am. I'm sorry.
I know I should respect your privacy in situations like this.
But I am approaching you as a man, not a fan.
May I buy you another glass of the same drink?
Why do men keep approaching me? How annoying.
Don't misunderstand.
I said that as a woman, not a singer.
It is only natural that a lot of men approach you. You're so beautiful.
Then why is there a man who doesn't like me?
How am I supposed to win him over?
Who in the world is he?
He's the opposite of you.
He doesn't like me as a woman,
but he likes me as a singer.
Then should I sing to him?
I'm sitting and looking out the window
Thinking of you all day
All scenes feel like a movie
And I love you so
The season has come when we were together
There are leaves on the street
Hello.
One moment, everyone.
Sometimes, I wish we may one day
Isn't she Syaon?
And I will give you so many tales
- With I, still in me - Syaon!
Well I can remember
You always
I like you
My heart
As it's always been
Love you forever
Thank you.
Thank you.
Kang Min, I'm getting sleepy, so I'm going to listen to something.
Go ahead.
In June 2018, at the start of summer,
Choi Eom Ji, who was only 24 years old,
disappeared at Hakcheon Beach.
She only left
- Kang Min. - her bloody sandals behind.
Have you seen the culprit of this case in real life?
I heard he was handsome and from a prestigious university,
so he even had a fan club when he was a murderer.
Not a murderer, a suspect.
You're a cop.
How could you watch someone expose another person?
Come on. Everyone knows he's the culprit.
He was with her until her last moment, and they had a big fight.
On top of that, her blood was found on his clothes.
It was supposed to end if they had only found her corpse.
Her brother still seemed to be
looking for that suspect.
He probably wants to kill him so bad.
Here it is.
He is pretty handsome.
Kang Min, look. Isn't he handsome?
Are you that shocked?
Are you sure it's him?
Pardon?
Are you sure he's the suspect of that case?
Yes.
(Graduation photo of Hakcheon Beach Murderer)
The phone is turned off. Please leave a message
What's wrong?
(Sol Hee, the guy who lives next door)
That's nothing.
(Sol Hee, the guy who lives next door)
Please get back to me once you see this text.
Have a good night.
You too.
Oh, my gosh!
Eom Ho came to see me.
He asked if Kim Seung Ju was Kim Do Ha.
(Missed Calls)
(Deuk Chan, Mother)
(Why aren't you picking up? I'm worried. Please call.)
(Live)
Gosh, was she dumped?
Darn it. That's not good.
What?
You
I heard the reporters
stopped wandering around Kim Do Ha's house a while ago.
You went there?
Where is Kim Do Ha right now?
Come on. How am I supposed to know that?
If I knew, I would be there.
Also, why are you talking so casually?
Answer me.
Gosh.
What What do you want?
What do you mean? It's our second time seeing each other.
You can talk casually if you have a problem with it. Okay?
I just remembered.
Syaon. You know Syaon, right?
Syaon is singing at Gangnam Palace Hotel right now.
If you follow Syaon,
you will probably be able to meet Kim Do Ha.
Sir.
Can I confess to you my shallow fears?
To someone who made me find the true shine
Can I confess to you my shallow fears?
To someone who can only stop me fall
Thank you.
Syaon, let's go.
What? I was going to sing one more song.
What are you getting yourself into?
- Let's go. - Thank you, everyone.
Bye.
- Come back! - Syaon!
Come on.
It's okay. Go home.
(Cleaning in Progress)
Where is Kim Do Ha?
I don't know.
Please don't kill me.
If you don't know,
call him and tell him to come here.
You're that person, right?
The person who tried to kill Do Ha.
Do you want to die in his place?
Call him.
Sure.
I wanted to die today anyway.
Do whatever you want.
I'm glad I have something I can do for Do Ha.
Kill me.
- Kill me! - Are you insane?
(Syaon)
(Syaon)
Do Ha, hang up this instant. Do Ha!
Seung Ju
I mean, Kim Do Ha.
It's been a while.
Don't hurt her. Just talk to me.
Where are you?
What a pleasure.
It's so great to see you.
Yes,
it's been a while.
That's right.
You had the same expression on your face back then too.
As if nothing had happened.
Do you know the two things I regret the most?
Telling Eom Ji to have fun
when she told me she was meeting you.
Letting you go
on that bus
after you killed Eom Ji.
- Eom Ho - That day,
even after seeing Eom Ji's text that she would kill herself,
you said you would go to Seoul like it was nothing.
Even now
You have that same expression on your face right now!
How are you still in one piece? Tell me.
I am going to cut you up into pieces
and throw your body parts onto the street one by one.
Just like me,
I am going to make your mom look for you for the rest of her life!
Please get back to me once you see this text.
Tell me.
What did you do with Eom Ji?
Did you kill her painfully?
Was she in a lot of pain?
Where is Eom Ji?
Tell me, please!
Do Ha.
Seung Ju, you didn't kill her.
Eom Ho.
I didn't harm Eom Ji.
There are a lot of things I did to her that I should apologize for.
But I didn't kill her.
I didn't kill her.
Are you saying she killed herself again?
I'm sick of hearing that.
Why would she kill herself?
Because I was her dream.
Why do you need a dream?
Your dream should be Seung Ju.
But I told her we should break up.
When she told me she would die without me,
I thought she was just saying that.
I didn't know she would really kill herself.
That's right.
Eom Ji only had you.
She only had you. Why did you do that to her?
No! She had you too.
Why didn't you help her?
Why didn't you hold onto her?
I know it's my fault.
I'll live
the rest of my life in guilt.
I'll do at least that.
(My Lovely Liar)
I thought it would be better to meet him in person once.
- Go! - What are you doing?
I know I'm being nosy,
but I'm so worried. You're continuously on my mind.
You guys are dating, aren't you?
Well, I don't think he ever asked me to be his girlfriend.
Do you think Sol Hee won't be affected if you stay here?
What does she do?
Did she really kill herself?
I should stay by her side and protect her.
