I'd rather keep my cause by killing myself.
I'd never get caught in your hands, and
I won't tarnish the names of Jo Cheong Maeng and my own.
I miss you... Soo Hyeon.
Young Master!
Are you in there Young Master?
Young Master!
Young Master. How long are you going to be like this?
Your father is worried sick about you now.
This package was delivered under your name.
I don't know what it is, but I bought it because it was from Young Master Hwi Yeong's.
Then... I'll leave it here.
Hey Shin Yool, are you alive?
Are you reading this letter now?
I was cleaning up before leaving for Manchuria.
and decided to send my three most precious things to you to keep for me.
By chance, do you remember the day we first saw this typewriter?
This isn't a Japanese language typewriter, it's a Korean language typewriter.
Should I buy you one?
This is plenty for me, my friend.
Since they say, "the pen is mightier than the sword," I can use it as a weapon.
Most of all, it can be very useful in changing the world.
Actually, I didn't mean it when I said my pen was plenty at that time.
I was bluffing. After receiving the gift of typewriter from you,
I was so happy.
I've received so much from you, so much so
that I can't repay you in this lifetime.
Now at the point of that I might not
see you alive again and I am sorry
because these are the only things I can give you.
And on top of that, I can't even give it to you for free.
I need to attach a favor.
Will you be able to handle it? Can you?
I'm hoping you will finish my novel for me.
Bring it here!
With this typewriter you gifted to me.
[Chicago Typewriter]
Please you write our story in my place now.
The story of us living on this land at that time.
We lived diligently in the dark reality.
How we hurt fiercely and hoped in desperation.
How we found happiness within the danger.
How we loved and fought
with all our might.
As for the pocket watch, I am giving it to you
for wishing you to cherish Soo Hyeon every minute and every second.
So that Soo Hyeon will never be alone again,
you stay by her side.
And lastly, Yool...
... just how much I trusted you and loved our friendship,
I regret that I didn't tell you in person.
So let's make sure we meet again alive.
No, let's meet again even in our death.
If a god asks me if I was happy in this life,
I'll answer.
I was happy because I met you guys.
If a god tells me "Good job living a hard life."
"You lived it well."
and pat my shoulder, then I'll ask for a favor.
If I am to born again...
I'll ask to be with you guys again.
I ran over a person.
You killed a person.
Writer Baek Tae Min ordered Jo Sang Mi to kidnap me, you said?
Then why is the writer got hurt?
I can't tell exactly, but there was some argument between the two men.
Then the writer fell from the rooftop in the process.
I stopped the falling accident by possessing his body,
but he probably got some damage in his body.
Please explain like that to the doctor.
I understand this incident now.
Thank you for telling me this.
What do you mean falling?
I'll explain the details later.
Anyway, tell the doctor for possible fractures and cerebral hemorrhage...
What else was there...? Anyway,
ask him to run all the test for any possible damage from the falling off from a high place—
Mr. Writer!
- Se Ju. - Mr. Writer!
Just what happened to you? Are you dead?
Are you a ghost or something?
I am sorry, but I am not a ghost.
But I did get some help from a ghost.
At the moment of impact from falling... he possessed my body.
Secretary Kang, please call the psychology department for an appointment.
Hello. I'd like to make an appointment with a psychologist. Yes.
How can you be here...?
You look alike you've seen a ghost or something.
Why? Are you afraid because I am alive after you ran me over with your car?
You... you are the punk who monitored me at Han Se Ju's house that day, right?
Who are you? What the heck is your identity?
You're asking the wrong question, don't you think?
You should be asking if the writer you pushed over is okay. Isn't that the humane thing to do?
What the heck are you talking about?
I didn't push Se Ju...
He fell off on his own.
It was just a simple accident.
Even if it was an accident, you should've checked if he was alive or dead!
But you just overlooked and ran away like crazy.
That's... because I was too shocked.
I was afraid I might be misunderstood. It's the truth!
I never intended to run away on purpose!
You running me over with your car was an accident and not your intention?
You tried to get rid of me, a witness to cover up your crime.
Ultimately, you killed two people.
Do you have evidence?
You haven't changed a bit.
You still are the same as you were before.
You commit a crime, then you commit another crime to cover up the previous crime.
You make excuses instead of apologizing, and you forget instead of being remorseful!
You still don't know a thing about atonement.
You call yourself a Korean doing this?!
Baek Tae Min, I am arresting you for conspiring to kidnap Miss Jeon Seol.
Se Ju please stay in the hospital!
I have no fracture and no cerebral hemorrhage.
He said there's nothing wrong other than a small cut on my head, so why would I eat the hospital food?
Do you stay at the hospital to eat?
It's because I am worried.
Hyung. From the day I bought you a luxurious watch,
you are overprotecting me more and more.
Just what do you take me for...?
Perhaps you were misinformed about something, Jeon Seol.
How can a person fallen from a building
be okay like this?
What's wrong Jeon Seol? What is it? Are you okay?
Now that I see you're okay, I think all my tension is releasing.
Hyung. Start the process for the hospitalization right now.
Who's overprotecting whom now?
Just do it.
What the heck is this? This is overreacting, I said.
I am like this too, thanks to you.
I am sorry for putting your life in danger again.
I told you it's not like that, didn't I?
Anyway, this time you were saved by Yoo Jin Oh instead of me.
I know, right?
I could've been totally dead if it weren't for the old man.
But where the heck is this cold hearted ghost and not showing up?
Were you looking for me?
Where have you been showing up now?
I had something to wrap up.
Mr. Writer, is your body alright?
Of course.
What about you? Is your body flickering okay now?
What do you mean flickering?
Is Mr. Yoo Jin Oh run by the battery?
You didn't know?
He has 24 alkaline batteries on his back.
Really?
W-What... did you just s-say?
You said your spiritual power is getting weak but is your hearing getting weak as well?
Or are you playing an old man because I kept calling you an old man?
Is it true that you remembered the past life while you were falling off from the roof top?
Very clearly.
Starting from the day of Jo Cheong Maeng's rebellion
to the moment of leader Seo Hwi Yeong's death, like a scene from a movie.
How about it? Do you want to hear about it?
Do I need to lie about whose trap Seo Hwi Yeong got caught up in and died?
What is this scene?
No way you are asking me to sleep with you now, are you?
Omona, what a lively imagination you have.
- Should I just leave? - Why get so upset like that?
As if your true feelings got found out...
What is it?
I am curious about something.
What are you curious about?
Who do you think that person is in my past life memory?
For sure, I shot that person.
Every time I see that scene, my heart was like ripping and I felt so sad.
Do you have any thought on that?
Don't try so hard and leave it alone.
Forget it if you can't remember it.
You only remember things that were cool about you.
Should I tell you something cooler?
I don't think my heart can take it if it's cooler than this...
Seo Hwi Yeong prayed to God before he died.
He asked to be with Ryu Soo Hyeon and Shin Yool if he's to be born again.
The God granted that favor. I have the old man...
and here you are right in front of me.
So today, for my country...
Why don't you just establish a temporary government?
You call yourself a Korean doing this?!
I wasn't caught but I caught him...?
If so... then is Heo Yeong Min the one who killed me?
Why... and by whose hands did I die?
Tell the truth. It isn't you, right?[Police Station]
You're such a nice and gentle person. How can someone like you instigate kidnapping?
There's no way!
It's that wench framing you, right?
How can they arrest you based on the words of a serial killer's sister?
Ugh! Unbelievable...
Just wait a bit.
Your uncle is an alumni of the chief of prosecution office—
Who are you trying to drag into this matter?!
What more shame would you like to see?
They said they got the recording of Tae Min instigating kidnapping.
Just whose side are you on?
Are you the other side's attorney? It's probably fabricated!
Go tell them to do a voice analysis right now!
Please be quiet.
Wait... the girl named Jeon Seol or whatever was the girl in the scandal with Se Ju, right?
Uhh~ so that's it.
She was in it with Se Ju to trap you.
Please be quiet, I said.
Looking at the articles about Destiny surfaced suddenly, too. I can smell something fishy.
I should bring that wench first and torture—
Can't you hear me saying be quiet?! Uh?
Tae Min...
Just how long are you going to whine, uh?
I feel suffocated and I can't breathe because of you.
How can you...
How... could you to me...?
How...?
You... don't provoke him anymore...
and go out and calm yourself down.
Hurry.
Tae Min. Why in the world did you do that?
Just how did you come to commit that?
Do you know how serious that matter is?
- Father. - Yes.
I... ran over a person.
Tae Min.
But... I don't think it was a person.
I thought he was dead, but he is alive and moving in tact.
S-S-Se Ju.
Please let me see Se Ju. Se Ju probably knows.
About that punk's... real identity.
What? So you're saying Jo Sang Mi...?
That's what I'm telling you. From the start, it was her plan to get a part-time job at Ricardo's
- just so she could get close to Seol.- - Wow...
And they say there's no one in the world you can trust...
No wonder her vibe was cold and I didn't want to hire her.
Seol even talked you into hiring her without knowing her true intention.
Poor Signorina.
Uh, hold on.
Show me my face with the camera.
- Uhm?! - What is it?
Do you know someone?
What's wrong?
What is it?
Send the picture just taken to Seol via texting.
[A message sent to Seol.]
Who is it?
Se Ju!
Did you sleep well?
Uh, yes.
But why am I here...?
I guess you didn't want to leave.
Ah, but when did you come to bed sneakily...?
You are the one who held me back asking to talk all night.
- Did I? - Did I, you say?
You said you'd sleep on the sofa and told me to sleep on the bed.
Just when did you crawl in?
Can't you use a better word?
What do you mean crawl in? Crawl in?
Excuse me.
I fell over here, you know.
But you two... should we go see a fortuneteller to check your compatibility as a couple?
Mr. Writer, I ought to go, something urgent came up.
Uh, uh.
She's doing that because she's embarrassed, right?
Fine, you are the man, ah!
Handling the truth isn't easy as it sounds.
It's just the truth in the past, and I'll do the handling.
You only need to tell me what you know and what you remember.
How much... how much do you know, Seol?
To the point where you were the traitor...
And there was a big operation against the Japanese and I got caught by Heo Yeong Min there.
Of course, it's not from just my memories.
It includes Writer Han Se Ju's memories as well.
Can't you stop right there?
Why...? Why the things in the past...?
Mom.
Your daughter is not Ryu Soo Hyeon but Jeon Seol.
Ryu Soo Hyeon probably couldn't forgive you being a traitor.
But not me.
What I couldn't forgive you for was...
you leaving a young daughter behind.
So... tell me.
Tell me and be free from your past life's memories, um?
Hey.
Are you worrying in secret?
Uh, it's not that... but considering even you were able to recollect memories from your past life,
I'm just frustrated because I still can't remember the circumstances of my death.
Must... you remember that?
Will you be unable to attain Buddhahood if you can't remember it?
Is there... something you know?
What the hell would I know?
Well, you and I were both freedom fighters,
so don't you think you probably died doing something along those lines?
In the memories that came up to you,
you said that I pretended to act as the leader in place of Hwi Yeong, right?
Was that really all that you remembered?
If that wasn't everything...
I'm sure that wasn't everything.
There's definitely something else you know. Isn't that right?
Regardless of what I say,
are you absolutely sure you can handle it?
Shin Yool, in order to protect Seo Hwi Yeong,
and to rescue Ryu Soo Hyeon, entered enemy territory on his own volition.
And what I'm saying from this point forward is not coming from Seo Hwi Yeong's memory,
but instead they are purely my own deductions.
I understand. Please tell me.
Shin Yool was able to withstand any type of pain or hardship,
but when it came to Ryu Soo Hyeon's life being at stake,
I don't think he was able to go up against Heo Young Min.
So are you saying that I ratted you---I mean,
Seo Hwi Yeong out?
I told you
- that this is purely my own speculation.- There's no way that can be true!
There is no way I would have cornered Hwi Yeong into a deadly situation.
- Why in the world would you deduce such a thing--- The day we were set to leave for Manchuria with our comrades,
they launched a surprise attack on our hideout.
Madame Sophia. Madame Sophia could have been the one to inform on you.
No. Madame Sophia, even Ryu Soo Hyeon,
neither of them knew the location of that hideout. The only person who would've known
was someone at the heart of the organization,
Shin Yool.
I'm going to say this again, but these are
purely my own deductions.
So the person who killed me... the one who killed me...
It was me.
The person who killed Shin Yool was me.
Thanks to my mom, I was also able to retrieve that memory.
Ryu Soo Hyeon! Come out. You've been released.
Inside the bag, there are clothes and money to go see a doctor.
Like Master Yool said, forget about everything that happened,
and go far away. I heard there were a lot of things you wanted to do.
Take good care of yourself, and get your mind and body back in order.
Ayoo, what a horrible girl. Can't you even say thank you?
Do you know how hard Master Yool worked trying to get you out?
Will it be here or the port? Hurry up and decide.
[ Carpe Diem ]
[ East Asia News - Extra ] [ Jo Cheong Maeng's Leader Seo Hwi Yeong's Suicide ]
Do you know the nickname for this gun?
No I don't. What is it?
The gun sounds like the keys of a typewriter, so they call it Chicago Typewriter.
I'm hoping you will finish my novel for me.
With this typewriter you gifted to me.
Timing and subtitles brought to you by Stronger Together Team @ Viki
Carpe Diem, which was once the hideout of Jo Cheong Maeng,
is now the hideout for the police force of the Great Japanese Empire.
All of the guests who came to shine this place despite the difficulties coming here.
Thank you very much.
Ah, especially despite my humble origin for being a Korean,
and to Chief Kamamuchi, who gave me the opportunity,
I offer my deepest gratitude.
Today... may just be the happiest day of my life.
I truly hope that you enjoy yourselves to the fullest.
With that in mind,
let's make a toast.
To the eternal success of the Great Japanese Empire, let's all raise our glasses!
Cheers!
A gun is not an accessory that is becoming for a woman.
Why don't you go ahead and put that down, Miss Anastasia.
Why don't you put it down, you son of a bitch.
There's no point in regretting it after your head has been blasted open.
Fine. If you stop this now,
I'll spare your life. If you want, I'll even send you to Manchur--
I'd rather bite my tongue and die right here
than beg someone like you to save my life.
Ah, sorry, sorry.
It's because I was reminded of someone right now.
I believe it was Seo Hwi Yeong, if I recall correctly?
Even up until the moment he shot himself, he sure was talking big.
You remind me of him.
In the name of Jo Cheong Maeng, I terminate the puppet of our enemy.
What did you just say?
It seems that someone is going around avenging Jo Cheong Maeng.
Yesterday, the dignitaries who were gathered at Carpe Diem were all gunned down indiscriminately.
In that process, that Heo Yeong Min or whatever who interrogated you,
he was killed there on the spot.
Right now, Japanese police are on high alert scouring all of Gyeongseong,
but the avenger seems to be so stealth, there is no word of his capture.
Hurry up Soo Hyeon. I'll be waiting for you here.
Did you hear? There's an assassin going around avenging Jo Cheong Maeng.
Yeah, I heard.
I heard that he shows up like a thunderbolt and then vanishes without a trace.
Didn't you say that love was forbidden for a freedom fighter?
Did you forget that there were other codes to live by?
Those who betray their comrades shall be brought to an end.
I was deceived too. From the start,
I was a fool to believe that they would release my son who was on death row.
My son ended up dying too.
I hope that we can meet under better circumstances in the next lifetime.
Soo Hyeon.
In the name of Jo Cheong Maeng's doctrine,
I am executing the traitor who betrayed the comrades.
You came.
I've been waiting for you.
Because Hwi Yeong left presents for us.
I think it's better for you to take his pocket watch.
Why did you do it?
Since I delivered the thing I need to, let's end it quickly.
Why did you do it, why?!
You...
dying in front of my eyes... I could not watch it.
I am nothing...
I am just measly being...
You'd have left me to die instead!
Whether I die or not, you should've never told!
Comrade Ryu Soo Hyeon!
Please do your job quickly.
The code of organization...
is the leader's order.
♫ Blowing my hair into single piece ♫
According to...
Jo Cheong Maeng's code...
♫ Thousand days ♫
Your form is shaken.
♫ All for us ♫
You can't be afraid of rebound. It'll make your body fall back or drop your arm without your knowing it.
Then, you will lose stability and control over the gun.

Hey, Seo Hwi Yeong. What do we do about this?
I made Soo Hyeon cry.
The promise I made to keep her safe in this life.
I am sorry for not keeping it.
I am sorry for not completing the novel, too.
If next life exists,
I'll definitely come to keep my promise then.
For you two people's happiness, I'll do everything I can
in order to come to protect it.

What is that?
I don't know. It seems to be very old.
It feels weird. Should I give it to my daughter?
Do that.
Seo Hwi Yeong!
Then... I betrayed you, Hwi Yeong and had you killed?
Get a hold of yourself.
I'm Han Se Ju, not Seo Hwi Yeong.
Soo Hyeon, I forced you to put blood on your hands?
I am sorry.
Ultimately... I... am the culprit who had killed both of you.
- Yoo Jin Oh! - Yoo Jin Oh!
Yoo Jin Oh!
Sorry for asking you to come in the rain.
I don't know who to call when a ghost is sick. I can't call a doctor.
Whatever. Where is he now?
- So you're saying that ghost is lying here? - Yeah.
What do you think? How does he look?
Tell me about his symptoms first.
All of a sudden, cracks started showing up all over his body, light was leaking from them, and then he collapsed.
- Did something trigger that situation? - Uh?
Uh, that is... he did experience a kind of mental shock.
It won't be long until his dissipation.
When you say dissipation, what do you mean exactly?
Just as I said. A total dissipation of his soul.
It's returning to nothing.
It's different from attaining Buddhahood, so there's no promise for next life.
Why did he become like that suddenly?
I told him so many times to save his strength.
But he spent too much of his energy.
And with a mental shock on top of that, that made it even worse.
Is there a way to prevent dissipation?
Even if you try to gather up his scattered energy,
it will be hard to restore since his spiritual body has already begun to crack.
Then...
Grant his wishes before he disappears.

Mr. Writer, would you like to have a beer with me?
Ah, Jeon Seol went out to send off Madame Big Bell.
Why didn't you tell me?
You didn't tell me that I was the traitor, either.
How can you smile at this situation?
There is a bright side, too.
Why I was sealed
in this typewriter,
no,
why I sealed myself in there.
I finally got to understand the reason.
What was that reason? Why don't you share it with me?
It was to beg for the forgiveness. From the two of you.
And
in order to keep the promise with Hwi Yeong.
What promise?
"Give her up for me in the next life time."
Do you remember that?
Fortunately, it seems that that mission has been cleared .
Even with a strategy of asking you to be a couple breaker between Writer Baek and Jeon Seol
and using Gyeon Woo.
I will give up Jeon Seol for you...even though It's a sad thing to do
in this life time. Instead, in next life time—
- Do you want me to give her up for you?- No.
In next life, I would like to meet some other women.
Seo Hwi Yeong
trusted Shin Yool even to the last moment.
Even though he knew that Shin Yool tipped the Japanese about his identity,
he didn't resent Shin Yool until the end. His trust towards Shin Yool wasn't shaken.
Seo Hwi Yeong
already forgave you.
And Han Se Ju
has no reason to forgive Yoo Jin Oh.
Because you're not Shin Yool,
but Yoo Jin Oh.
So stop blaming yourself
and let's try to find a way to prevent from your disappearing.
- Well, I have a favor to ask.- What is it?
Please let me use this writing room for a while.
I would like to keep the promise I made to Hwi Yeong,
to finish the novel.
Thank you.
Thanks to you, I can finish the novel.
Are you planning to write that?
Because it was a promise between me and Hwi Yeong.
I am sorry
for making you suffer a lot.
Soo Hyeon,
it is not your fault.
You did the right thing back then.
So
please don't feel guilty about it any more.
Forget about it and go on living your present life.
Then,
can you do the same, Hyungnim Shin Yool?
Because your betrayal was to save me.♫ Morning breeze. Blowing my hair into ♫
♫ single piece. Take me away ♫
Ryu Soo Hyeon knew that already.
Even when she was pulling the trigger,
she was so sorry and grateful for you.
So much that she kept looking back
when she passed the river of oblivion.
♫ Wait for it ♫
To me, Hyungnim Shin Yool
was a respectful teacher,
a trustful comrade,
and a friendly hyungnim.
Thanks to you, I didn't feel lonely
and I could live a wonderful life as a sniper.
Thank you
for telling me I was pretty
when I was lacking,
and for liking me so much.
♫ Oh moonlight ♫
♫ light up the night enough I can not see ♫
♫ for all day ♫
♫ Time has gone I see you ♫
♫ Looking back to the good times ♫
♫ See you again flying tonight ♫
♫ Until the time none we can do ♫
Hello.
It's me.
Yes, please speak.
I feel ashamed to ask this,
but can you please meet Tae Min just once?
Because Tae Min keeps saying weird things.
You're here.
It's a relief that you look healthy.
You didn't get hurt anywhere, did you?
It's a relief for you, I guess.
If something bad happened to me,
you could've been in more serious situation.
So what do you want to tell me about?
Who is
- that bastard?- Who are you referring to?
The bastard I ran over.
That bastard who was in your writing room.
- What are you talking about?- What's his identity?
He's... not human, right?
That bastard keeps appearing in my dream
and telling me to admit my wrongdoings.
Even though I didn't do anything that wrong.
Tae Min.
Huh? What?
Is it that hard to admit your wrongdoings?
Is it that hard
to say, "I am sorry?"
There is even a person who has waited for over 80 years to ask for forgiveness.
I'm telling you there's even a person who risked his life
to keep a promise that was more like a joke.
Life is more than just enjoying wonderful days.
If you have wrongdoings,
admit them and correct them.
No matter how hard and humiliating it is,
living while directly facing the pain is also a life.
Live the rest of your life while atoning your sins.
That's the only way to restart.
Hey, Yoo Jin Oh, I am back.
I said I'm back.
Are you there?
Where on earth are you?
Are you home?
Would you like to drink with me?
Because I just finished writing the novel.
This must be the reason to write.
With this, you've cleared (kept) all the promises you made to Seo Hwi Yeong.
Yes.
To be exact,
it took eighty three years to keep the promise.
Then, you need to keep the promise you made to me.
Pardon? A promise?
Which promise?
I think it will take at least one hundred years to keep all of these.
I will be generous for once.
Keep just one.
As I expected, you're such a generous person.
With there being as many articles here as the stars in the night sky, which one shall I keep?
In the novel co-writing contract, the first clause in the first article.
Until the novel is completed, Han Se Ju and Yoo Jin Oh
will live together
and share their joy and sorrow.
The novel involving Seo Hwi Yeong and Shin Yool may be finished.
But our novel...
the novel of Han Se Ju and Yoo Jin Oh's
is not finished yet.
So if you disappear without saying a word,
I'll kill--- no.
I'll make you reborn.
Just how are you planning to do that?
With my novel.
From now on,
I am planning to write that novel.
The sound of the period is always beautiful no matter when you hear it.
Have you finished the novel?
Uh.
Hey, I almost died trying to finish writing this.
May I read it?
Before that,
you must make a promise to me.
Just one is correct?
To keep the promise, to beg for a forgiveness,
you thought you trapped yourself into that typewriter, right?
Why ask that suddenly...?
I am thinking about trapping you into this novel.
- Yeah? - Your extinction
is returning to totally nothing, she said.
You won't even get a chance to be reborn.
If you get trapped into my novel before you dissipate,
at least you won't completely disappear.
You'll get a chance to be reborn.
So make me a promise.
Until the cracks disappear in your spiritual body,
wait in my novel.
To thank me,
to keep the promise of meeting again...
that you'll come back.
I think it's time for me to change out the batteries.
Follow me. There is a place to visit together.
Thank you.
For what?
Because fishing was the first thing Hwi Yeong said he wanted to do in a liberated motherland.
Thanks to you, I can leave having carried out a wish I didn't even expect.
Are you guys up for a bet?
What kind of bet?
Whether Mr. Yoo Jin Oh will come to see us in next life or not,
let's say whoever's fishing rod moves first will win.
Call.
Call? Are you betting on my fate?
Since this bet is precious, I'll bet first.
Well, he may get reborn...
I wish for him to be reborn.
Don't you think you are being too much? How can you not have any conviction?
I'll bet on the possibility that I'll definitely be reborn.
I thank you, too.
Not to Shin Yool, but to Yoo Jin Oh.
What... what are you thanking me for?
If you hadn't showed up in my life,
I may still have been unable to write even one line.
If you hadn't let Jeon Seol into my house,
I may still be living without having met Jeon Seol.
I think I am going to change my bait. Nothing's biting at all.
If you hadn't come to find me,
I may still be living with walls around me... despite being alive.
Like a ghost wandering in the neither world.
So, if you disappear without a word---
Hey, Yoo Jin Oh. Are you flickering again?
If you are there, send me a signal.
Yoo Jin Oh. Send me a signal, I said.
I'll kill you if you are playing a trick on me.
I told you I'd kill you if you disappear without a word, didn't I?
Come out. You better come out!
It's moving.

Can you do this when you have a book signing?
I did enough. That book signing wasn't even on the schedule anyway.
Still, from the fans point of view, they might feel very betrayed.
Do you not like being alone with me? Why saying stuff like that when I am next to you?
I feel guilty because I am too happy.
Who could be missing me so much like this?
I heard someone is thinking about me when one shoelace comes undone.
There is someone... like that.
The person who'd been waiting almost 100 years just for you.
The person who can't leave because he's tied with a tenacious rope of fate.
Who? The mystical being?
What do you think happened to Yoo Jin Oh?
I can only hope that he'd safely settled in my novel.
Do you think Yoo Jin Oh is happy there?
That... shall we ask the coin-god for a change?
If we get the picture, he's safely settled.
If we get the number,
he failed.
Final Credits
Done.
No. I'll never show it to you.
Why aren't you showing it to me if you are done? I am curious about the ending.
If you are curious, then buy it later and read it.
You are really petty.
I told you no. Absolutely not.
Hey, friend. What've you been doing to show up now?
Hyungnim Shin Yool, where have you been that you're showing up just now?
I've been dreaming.
I guess you had a nice nap even in broad daylight.
Will we be able to liberate the country slacking off like that?
Don't worry. The day of liberation definitely comes.
You seem to have had a nice dream. What was it about?
The dream of you guys living beautifully together in the liberated Joseon.
The dream of me being there with you guys for a short while.
And the hope... of being with you guys again someday.
♫ Free your soul of the past, love and the despair ♫
♫ Don't hold your breath ♫
♫ Close your eyes and dream ♫
♫ Of long lost pale moonlight ♫
♫ In the endless sapphire sky ♫
♫ And I’m here tonight ♫
♫ Free your soul of the past ♫

The Japanese Colonial Period started on August 29, 1910 by some Korean traitors signing the Japan–Korea Annexation Treaty.
Until Korea got back its freedom on August 15, 1945, Korean had to suffer under Japanese rule.
Japan deprived Korea of its many lands and resources to supply the war, using Korean laborers and soldiers.
Young men were forced to join the Japanese army and young women were dragged to the war zones to be sex slaves.
To provide comfort women to the Japanese military, many Korean women were kidnapped or lured with fake job offers.
These victims were estimated to be 200,000 but considering majority of the victims were slaughtered by the Japanese to conceal
the existence of the comfort women when Japan surrendered, while some died due to severe torture by Japanese soldiers,
it's hard to know how many women had been victimized exactly. However, survivors from China, Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia,
even from some of Europe testified that comfort women did in fact exist and the victims were from many countries, not just from Korea alone.
According to the survivors, they got raped up to thirty times or (even more) per a day, but didn't get any proper feeding.
When they got caught while trying fleeing, they were rolled on the sharp thick needle bed while being naked and tortured to death.
Other women were forced to watch the whole things and if they turned their heads around, they got punished as well.
Once the escapees were dead, the rest of women had to boil them and forced to drink the soup.
These are not the most horrible things Japan did to the comfort women. There are endless testimonies as to how cruel they were.
Even with abundant testimonies from survivors and proven documents from many countries, Japan is still denying the truth about the comfort women.
Currently 38 Korean survivors are alive and still fighting to get a sincere apology from the Japanese government.
What they seek is not monetary compensation because there is nothing which can pay enough for their sufferings.
What they need is the proper acknowledgement from the Japanese Government about the wrongdoings Japan committed as well as their heartfelt apology.
During the Japanese Colonial Period, many independence fighters tried hard to appeal our strong will for independence to the world.
That's why the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea was established in Shanghai on April 14, 1919. And it became the driving force of the Independence Movement.
Japan compelled Koreans to change their names into Japanese ones and forbade them to speak or write in Korean to obliterate the Korean spirit.
Some had to risk their lives to keep valuable Korean books in secret in order to pass them down to future generations.
During WWII, due to labor shortages in Japan, nearly 700,000 Koreans were sent to Japan as laborers and forced to work under appalling and dangerous conditions.
Following the dropping of atomic bombs in Japan, and the impending overrun of the Korean peninsula by Russian forces,
Japan surrendered to the Allied forces on 15 August 1945, ending 35 years of Japanese occupation in Korea.
Despite of independent fighters' fierce efforts, Korea achieved its freedom by Japanese surrender to the Allied forces. That's why Korea lost the chance to punish the traitors properly and that led them to many tragedies later.
