I'll guarantee that you pass.
Just go and sing like you usually do.
Will you do your best?
You're a funny one, aren't you?
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.)
- Hi, Dong Hee. - Kim I Gyeong.
You know I hated writing since high school, right?
But for you, I stayed up all night to write your darn cover letter.
I wrote a cover letter for you.
If you won't go, pay me for the makeup.
I have to pay them over three months. Why won't you go?
You dressed up and put on makeup and went to a kid's party?
- Why? - Part-timing's about trust.
It's nice to dress up.
This is a performance too.
Bye.
On the day of So Hee's first birthday
Is it really Ashtray Girl?
Yes, Seongbok High School's Ashtray Girl, Kim I Gyeong.
Oh, my gosh.
Shouldn't we tell Hee Soo?
Yes, right away.
Or drag her out by the hair ourselves.
- Let's drag her out. - Let's go.
Are you done?
I'm short on time and must leave.
But...
I don't usually do this,
but I'm giving you a chance to defend yourself...
to celebrate our new deal.
Because you feel bad.
So what now?
That's up to you.
It has nothing to do with me.
Nothing to do with me at all.
It's none of my business. It's none of...
Ms. Kim I Gyeong.
Is this what you stood me up for?
Does this make the guilt go away?
If he were sincere in his attitude,
then depending on the person, yes.
It's so...
comforting.
No, don't get out. Take this car home.
No, thanks.
I'll take the bus.
I have nothing at all to say.
Stop talking back and listen.
I really...
really...
Gosh, you and your pride.
Why is life so exhausting?
She's fast asleep.
It's nothing serious.
It's just...
lack of sleep.
Oh. Okay.
Because you feel bad.
Thank you.
- Goodbye. - Bye.
What's this for?
It was beautiful.
You're so sensitive today.
What's that? Check.
(Chauffeur service)
- It's the chauffeur service. - So what?
She'll lose business if she misses it.
Don't mind unless you'll take her place.
She's a poor girl, you know.
She's stupider than she looks.
Rather than do odd jobs, it would be wise for her...
to learn a skill and get a decent job.
You acted so beautifully today.
It's just an idea.
- Who called for a driver? - Me.
I'll drive you safely.
Mr. Ha, get a grip.
There are two drivers?
We're a set.
Mr. Ha?
Hey. Do you know how much this car costs?
- We'll get going. - I know how much it is.
Honey, I hired a female driver.
But two men showed up...
Miss, 20 dollars, please.
Honey, I'm scared.
Don't hang up, okay?
Hey, what's with the frown?
I can't help it that I don't have a license.
No, no, don't answer it anymore.
I'll kill you.
Just one more and we'll have made 100 dollars.
I'll give the money.
Let's not do this.
Okay then.
You're overworked and exhausted.
Whatever you do at night keeps you from sleeping.
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
I'll get going.
The money...
I have a weak stomach and had some leftovers.
The expiry date's almost up.
Don't give me that look.
My stomach's not weak today which is why there are leftovers.
You need to take your medicine too.
Thank you.
By the way,
why don't you hire a helper?
You're rich.
I use the vacuum cleaner to clean,
the laundry machine and drying machine to do my laundry,
and I order food with my phone.
It's more efficient and convenient than to boss someone around.
I heard you efficiently and conveniently boss people around.
When did I...
When is Kang Ha going to wake up?
The rumors were right. You do have a usual personality.
She was locked up in jail for about six months...
and got released on probation...
because the court ruled it as self defense.
The prosecution wanted to have her sentenced for attempted murder.
But the court ruled it as a special violence case...
and released her on probation considering the fact...
that she was an underage victim of domestic violence.
By the way, how did you know I was there yesterday?
Why didn't you come to the audition?
You told me not to come.
Why did you apply if you weren't going to show up?
My friend sent the application.
You're not answering my question.
Do I need to answer every single question you ask?
I saw you while I was passing by.
We weren't complete strangers, and it was time for me to go home.
Our country doesn't produce a single drop of oil,
so I thought I'd give you a ride.
- Don't let it bother you. - So you saw me by coincidence...
and decided to give me a ride?
Yes, that's right.
Thank you.
I was actually desperately praying...
for someone to show up and save me yesterday.
And you suddenly showed up out of nowhere.
You totally seemed like a saint at that moment.
Whether it was a coincidence or not,
I'd still like to thank you.
My gosh, you already thanked me enough.
I owe you one, so I promise I'll pay you back.
We're not exactly on great terms for you to be so thankful.
I mean, we never really had an enjoyable encounter.
That has nothing to do with this. I should still thank you regardless.
I always make sure to repay someone's kindness.
Don't you have any pride?
I left it at home.
You're a musician. You shouldn't leave your pride at home.
Instead, I make sure I always have self-esteem.
Of course, I used to have pride.
But I had to walk on eggshells and got intimidated...
just so I could get acknowledged by others.
It got exhausting, so I quit doing that.
I'm just going to acknowledge myself...
and live a happy life.
That's why it's so important for me...
to overcome my trauma.
Do you have more porridge?
What made you think that way?
I'm busy trying to make ends meet.
It gets suffocating if you become too picky with life.
That's why I just choose to always be positive.
How do you feel? Do you feel better?
Yes, I'm okay.
Then leave once you're done eating.
What are you doing here again? What?
How did you open this?
I just happened to have some free time.
How could you...
I know you're not human, but you should have the decency...
to give me a heads up before you come over like this.
You promised to give me singing lessons.
I never said it was going to be today.
Today's just the right day.
Thank you for yesterday.
Don't mention it.
But I'm not going to sign that deal.
It's a deal. I'll give you three more months...
to make me become a good singer. And bring me a substitute.
- What? - Make another person sign...
a soul contract.
Then your soul will be free. You'll have freedom.
I'll diligently give you your singing lessons.
And I'll make sure you have...
an amazing fan meeting.
Then I'll just disappear. That's what I chose to do.
You'll just disappear?
I see. But why do I need to give you three more months...
if you're not going to bring me another soul?
- You wanted to hold a fan meeting. - A fan meeting?
Well, yes. But bringing a substitute was part of the package.
What package? You never mentioned that.
From what I remember, that's what we agreed on.
You used the fan meeting as bait so you could buy three more months.
And you're the one who suggested on bringing me a substitute.
Isn't that what we agreed on?
The lessons and your substitute.
No, I never agreed to that.
Do you have proof? Do you have a recording?
I can't do it. I won't do it.
Really?
Then I'll take your soul here and now.
A human being dared to fool the devil?
I'm sure you're ready to pay for the consequences.
What... What are the consequences?
Well, let me think about it.
I once turned someone into a frog.
Are you kidding me?
I also ripped someone into pieces when I didn't have time...
and just couldn't be bothered.
- But is that too harsh? - That was never part of the deal.
I agreed to give you three more months,
and you promised to bring me someone else's soul.
That was both your choice and mine.
I don't care about your choice, but don't try to fight mine.
Just do what you agreed to do.
I can't do it. It goes against my conscience.
Your conscience?
You're using your conscience...
to fight the devil?
Listen to me carefully.
An evil spirit lives off of people's despair.
That was just a figure of speech. We don't actually eat it.
But those are the kinds of souls we choose to buy.
People who are living on the edge of despair.
No wonder you chose me.
What will humans full of despair...
think of our offer?
Will they be afraid? Will they be pleased?
Haven't you thought of the fact...
that your choice could become a spark of hope...
to those who are living miserably in despair?
You shouldn't feel guilty about giving people hope.
Open up your heart and look around you.
You'll find out that there are a lot of delicate souls out there.
No, I can't do it. How could I do something like that?
If you still choose to refuse,
then I guess I have no choice.
Let's begin our lesson. What song do you want to learn?
You and I
This place is huge.
I'd love to live in a house like this.
Then I'll be free...
to make whatever music I want.
I should know my place.
We hold our hands
And hold our hands again
Like those times
You're gone
You're
Let me lower the key.
Now, we are
Okay, I'll go. I'm going. The same time tomorrow?
- Whatever you want. - I did quite well today, didn't I?
You're not an evil spirit. You're more like a deity.
I know, right? Wasn't I amazing?
Let's go to Busan
How can he create a tune that doesn't even exist?
My gosh, I'm so exhausted.
Hey, you can clean today.
This is why you shouldn't let strangers into your house.
This is delicious.
Dong Hee.
Okay, fine. Let me hear what happened.
You didn't go to the audition, and I couldn't even reach you.
Where were you all this time?
I was at Ha Rip's house.
Why? What did you do there?
I slept there.
Is that really the best you can do?
I know life is hard for you, but was that really necessary?
What are you talking about?
You just said you slept with Ha Rip!
You're such a fool. That was your chance to audition.
You should've sung in front of him, not just eat porridge.
You really need to start listening to me.
I sang for the very last time at that birthday party.
What are you talking about?
Oh, you have an audition?
Okay, fine. Bye.
I can't believe he canceled on us...
right before the performance.
I Gyeong, please sing for us today.
No.
Don't tell me you're going to ask for money first.
I'll pay you, so don't worry.
I'm done with music.
What?
I quit music.
I won't take it up again.
Quit and taking it up again?
Is this smoking you're talking about?
Is this for real?
Yes, it is.
I made it clear today.
So what are your plans from here on out?
"Anyone who has a dream can start over."
- What? - It's what I read...
while leaving the detention center.
I'm going to start over...
which starts with a dream.
One that'll never come true?
First, I'm going to start off by earning a lot of money.
- How? - By working a part-time job.
You really are absurd. You quit music?
It's about time I made a drastic turn in life.
The number you've dialed is unavailable.
He's not answering, is he?
This was definitely an organized scam.
By the looks of it, it won't take long to pack.
Get going as soon as possible.
The unit was sold so I'm getting kicked out?
Ma'am!
Vacating the unit was part of the deal.
We're victims too, you know!
The new owner doesn't deserve any of this.
Then what did I do to deserve getting evicted like this?
A fraudulent deal should be considered as invalid.
The real estate agency should take responsibility.
If there's nothing I can do about the new owner,
then at least pay back my deposit.
The former owner took that with him.
The new owner took out a huge debt to buy this building,
so there's no money to reimburse your deposit.
What are you talking about?
Take a look at this.
If you check the registry form,
it says Unit 401.
Now, look here.
If your contract says Unit 501, things will get really complicated.
Technically, this unit doesn't exist in this world.
The owner said there were no problems when I signed it.
Which real estate agency did you work with?
Did you sign the contract without checking the details?
You gullible young girl.
Still, I need you to move out.
- Goodness. - But...
Darn it.
I stuffed myself with samgyeopsal after saving money on brokerage fee.
You have a pretty suitcase.
It's the same as yours.
Right.
So where are you headed?
- Hongdae. - Hongdae?
That's where I'm headed too.
Bye then.
This is my first day in Korea and I got robbed.
The pickpocket was so fast and I lost everything.
Everything?
Cut.
Is this good? Is that what you think?
- It's similar. - To what?
You know, "At Your Home" by Yu Seong.
Didn't you write that song?
Exactly! It sounds similar.
What's wrong?
I'm headed this way.
Bye then.
Hold on.
Could I borrow that?
What's in there?
Here?
The guitar suits you.
You should have it.
- Nice! - That was great.
(Chauffeur Service)
Yes, Mr. Ha.
I can't believe you called.
It's all that I could do to repay you.
It was really nothing.
Anyway, did you enjoy it?
Shut up and listen.
You're even singing to me.
I just came up with that melody. Is it mine?
- Don't tell me it's yours too. - Sorry?
I just can't be sure anymore.
Was that melody mine?
Thank you for asking for my opinion.
It seems to be your creation...
- since I don't recall... - Got it.
(Chauffeur Service)
Right.
What was that about?
(Try It Fish Cake)
How's the business?
The coffee shop or the food truck?
Both.
This brings in more, actually.
I'm glad.
- Are you going abroad? - No.
The boiler at my place is getting fixed.
Can I crash at your place for a few days?
Whatever.
Thank you!
From what I've gathered,
this is what life is like.
It will not always be bad.
If something bad happens when you're down,
then...
it means that you've hit rock bottom.
You have nowhere to go but up.
That's how life is.
Sure thing. Thanks for that.
The sauna over there costs 15 dollars a night.
The shop doesn't have a bath or a sauna,
so I'll only receive five dollars.
Got it.
You come into this world with nothing...
and leave with nothing.
That's life too.
Even among those close,
it's best not to accept or give any favors.
I'll get going then.
Hold it.
That's three dollars.
You dated in secret for five years but broke up last year.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry.
This way.
I ask this as the CEO of this agency.
Let's keep this professional and leave our personal feelings aside.
Personal feelings?
Do you have feelings for me, Ms. Ji?
I hear Rip has been giving you vocal lessons.
- Are you going to record an album? - No.
It's to sing at my fan meet-and-greet.
You tossed me aside and didn't look back,
so why are you suddenly back in my life again?
I'm not sure.
You're not sure?
Are you someone else and not Mo Tae Kang?
You can't be human...
because no human would be like this.
I guess you're right.
We dated for five years and last met a year ago.
Yes, I admit that I was too busy...
and couldn't keep our appointments. You'd have been angry.
So you performed without calling me?
I found out online.
I still went there with a bouquet.
What did you do?
- Tae Kang. - You were great.
You ignored me. Yes, I stood you up a lot.
I'm sorry.
But how could you ignore me when I brought flowers?
Excuse me.
- We're talking. Can you leave? - Okay.
Is this revenge?
Are you messing with me, showing up after becoming huge...
to get back at me?
I'm not sure yet.
Did we break up?
Is this a breakup?
Why did you do that? What did I do so wrong?
Nothing's clear at all.
I'm frustrated, upset, and angry.
And what about my pride?
If you're human, shouldn't you say something?
Is it that hard to say you're sorry?
You can't even say that, so you're trying to stall?
I'm sorry.
I am... very sorry.
Don't!
Sorry.
I can't stand you.
That's nice to hear.
The human Ji Seo Young can't stand the sight of you,
but I say this as the CEO of Soul Entertainment.
We'll keep things professional at work.
I can't do that.
You can't deal with the press?
Why do I keep getting calls?
If you're slacking off because our company expanded,
have a conscience and return your salary and bonus.
And did you bury something in the emergency stairwell?
Why do you keep using it?
You can go.
- I'm sorry. - I'm sorry.
He's unbelievable.
How dare he grin?
I only need one desperate soul.
The love between a man and a woman...
will be the focal point of the project.
And to tell you about the details...
Ready? Let's begin.
Let's nail it.
An evil spirit lives off of people's despair.
We pick such humans as possible clients.
Those full of utter despair.
Hello. Did I surprise you? Sorry.
- Free service... - Come with us.
What will humans full of despair...
think of our offer?
Will they be afraid? Will they be pleased?
Buy a pack of chewing gum.
Please buy a pack of chewing gum.
Did you ever consider that your choice could...
offer someone full of despair a last glimmer of hope?
Open your eyes and look around.
There are many such pitiful people.
Excuse me.
What?
What's going on?
[VIU Ver] tvN E03 'When The Devil Calls Your Name' "Ha Rip Finding His Replacement" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
A world void of souls. What would it be like?
Hey. Were you conned?
The jerks.
Even if you sue, it won't be solved easily.
You'll need to hire a lawyer and find a place to stay.
Ask Mr. Kong.
Not after all the favors.
He paid me in advance too often already.
I don't want to bother him anymore.
Shall I lend you the money?
Forget it. You don't have enough.
I found another part-time job. Don't worry.
Part-time jobs don't offer that much.
Take the money Ha Rip's company offered.
You won't even audition there.
No. Ask for more.
Or we can tell the truth online.
Dong Hee.
Have you been in lock-up?
I don't want to go back there again.
It's a threat.
Under 10 years in prison or a fine beneath 20,000 dollars.
I Gyeong.
Nowadays, when I feel the pain,
I feel it, and let it go.
If you can call this an ordinary life,
I'm finally becoming ordinary.
I want to live ordinarily like others.
If I fall forward, I'll hurt my nose.
If I fall backward, I'll hurt my head. That kind of life.
So take the money.
Are you living an ordinary life?
Working around the clock and not sleeping. Is that ordinary?
To be ordinary, you must take the money.
I've been through way worse than this.
Things can only get better from here.
I Gyeong. Don't do this. Come and stay with me.
No. No one's welcome in a newlywed's home.
- We aren't newlyweds. - What?
Nice suitcase.
It's the same as yours.
How amazing. He has a kid at his age?
Gosh. I'm more amazed that you can't tell.
They aren't father and son. They're the same person.
This kid grew up to become this guy.
My goodness!
I said I'd give you three months...
and you agreed to bring me a replacement soul.
Hey. What are you doing here?
Hello. I'm singer-songwriter...
Jang Choon Gon.
I hope you like me.
Did you forget our promise?
The future we planned together
You said we'd be together forever
Billboard, how can you do this to me?
How can you see someone else?
Please, Ha Rip
I love you
What will humans full of despair think of our offer?
Will they be afraid? Will they be pleased?
- Do you want to sing? - Enough to die for.
Would you sell your soul?
To sing, I'll sell my body and my soul. Everything.
Ha Rip, did I pass? Thank you. I'll do well.
You know I can do better, right?
I'll really do my best.
No one can be more desperate than him.
He's even willing to sell his soul.
You worked hard day and night, and I compliment you for that.
You did really well.
You should sign a deal with him.
Then I'll be signed for life, right?
- Am I going to sign a deal? - Stay quiet.
He is desperate,
but he's not good enough.
What do you mean he's not good enough?
He's the best you can get. He's a top star.
I need someone to replace your pathetic soul.
So why would I want someone who's more pathetic than you?
- "Pathetic"? - What do you mean?
Is there some kind of a grading system or something?
- Bingo. - What?
That's a great question.
Souls are divided into different grades.
It ranges from 1 to 9.
You need to bring me the first-grade soul...
- that's healthy and beautiful. - "First-grade soul"?
You never told me that.
That's why I'm telling you now.
- Then what grade is my soul? - It's quite higher than you think.
So what grade do I fall under?
You didn't even know that souls are divided into different grades.
Grade four? That's pretty high.
- And he's not the first-grade? - No.
My school grades fall under grade two.
He says he's grade two.
He wants this so bad. You should just take his soul.
- Do you have your report card? - I need to look for it.
I'm not a deity.
How am I supposed to know if someone is the first-grade soul or not?
People with the first-grade souls are different from others.
They have the characteristics of those who are...
being protected by a certain being.
Do they have wings or something? Are they always looking at the sky?
Do I need to teach you every single thing?
I'm not asking you for every little detail.
But you need to give me some tips. Is that so hard?
- Am I asking for too much? - Yes.
You say you're asking for tips,
but it sounds like you're asking me...
to tell you where you can find those with the first-grade souls.
- I wouldn't mind that. - I don't know.
- What? - I don't know.
I don't know where you can find the first-grade souls.
- You crazy evil jerk... - Hey.
There you go again.
Listen to me.
If I knew where to find them, I'd just go find them myself.
Why would I bother giving you more time...
just so I could have you look for them?
Now, get going and find one for me.
I don't want a second-grade soul like his.
Bring me the first-grade soul that's very desperate.
Hey!
No good will come from knowing about this.
So you should forget about what you saw and heard here.
You should get going now.
You didn't have to kill him!
Take him on your way out.
Now, where were we?
The humans I've seen until now are evil beings.
They're despicable, and they just suppress that...
by acting like they're virtuous.
If humans weren't so hypocritical,
you would've killed each other and be extinct by now.
The way humans live these days is just a complete mess.
So what?
What's your point?
I'm trying to give you a hint.
A hint?
Don't be too startled.
Standby.
Cue.
What a joke.
I hate jerks like you.
You're a bunch of scumbags who are so full of yourselves.
But you guys are nothing more than a couple of useless punks.
Hey, do you even know why you can't sing?
It's because you have no emotions, you dumb jerk.
How can you sing when you know nothing about emotion?
How do you expect to be a good singer, you punk?
The same goes for you, you piece of trash.
My gosh, if I could have things my way,
I'd just kick some sense into you.
You act like you're all that.
You think the world revolves around you, don't you?
You really need to become more humane.
You need to have something deep inside your heart.
Do you even have anything in there?
Don't glare at me, you little jerk.
I'm really curious.
What can you even do without me?
Can you at least go to the bathroom on your own?
My gosh, you useless evil soul.
Gosh, you're nothing but a little...
I'm sorry!
It's not very pleasing to hear, but that's how he really feels.
It's something he's been suppressing deep down inside.
I can easily get humans to express...
their filthy and evil emotions that they've been secretly hiding.
This is the case with normal human beings.
But those who have the first-grade souls are different.
- How are they different? - You really need...
to start thinking on your own...
when I tell you something.
They have no ugly thoughts...
or evil emotions...
deep inside their hearts, so there's nothing to get from them.
That's just how they really feel,
so they have nothing to confess.
You can't get anything from those who have the first-grade souls.
Nothing.
- But you don't know who they are? - That's right.
Now, get back to work.
Good luck.
- Do I also need to jump from there? - No.
Take the elevator. That's for someone else.
Wait. Wait...
Mr. Kang.
Yes... Yes, sir.
That was a nice speech.
I didn't know that's what you thought of me.
- No, please! Don't! - See you.
I didn't mean it, sir!
The answers are all in your heart.
Merciful Buddha.
Sir, I have a question.
- Do you know anything about... - The answers are all in your heart.
Wait. The first-grade...
The answers are all in your heart.
- Wait... - The answers are all in your heart.
The answers are all in your heart.
- Where's the nearest church? - The answers are all in your heart.
Praise our Lord Jesus Christ
- Jesus is always with us. - Praise our Lord Jesus Christ
Hallelujah.
Do you know anything about souls?
The first-grade souls?
Welcome. Jesus will guide you.
Come inside.
Do you know...
the meaning of "first-grade"?
Are you going to buy a new fridge?
Why? It's completely fine.
But then again, I did hear that you can get a tax exemption...
if you buy the first-grade home appliances these days.
Forget it.
The first-grade beef?
It needs to have good marbling.
- Cheers to Soul Entertainment! - Cheers!
You can have grilled pork.
Thank you, sir!
- Thank you. - Enjoy.
Tripe and beef entrails really go well together.
Here's your first-grade beef. I heard you made a special order.
Gosh, it looks delicious.
Thank you.
There's soul in this steak's marbling.
You must be first grade prime beef.
It looks delicious. Try some.
This year, we'll top the Billboard Chart.
Let's make sure we take it to the end this time.
- Well... - Come on. Let's drink.
Say, "Ah."
Mr. Ha, the pillar of Soul Entertainment,
here you go.
I'm good.
You're embarrassing this old man.
- Here. - I said I'm fine.
Whatever.
In my next life, beef is what I'd like to be.
Enjoy your conversation then.
"My ex-boyfriend is ignoring me after apologizing."
- He's walking all over you. - He's moved on.
A better ride will come along.
I doubt it.
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.
- Liver and Gallbladder! - Liver and Gallbladder!
It's quite embarrassing, but since you want this,
I'll bring you "This is Love".
Please accept my love
I'll give you my all
- Even on tough days - Even on tough days!
- Even on happy days - Even on happy days!
Forever
- The lovely Lee Chung Ryul! - The lovely Lee Chung Ryul!
Please accept my love
Don't you dare. Don't go out there.
Are you kidding me?
Mr. Lee wrote this song to propose to his girlfriend...
and that girlfriend became his wife!
Isn't it romantic?
Want to know a secret?
Lee Chung Ryul didn't write this song.
It was actually written by Seo Dong Cheon.
Mr. Lee Chung Ryul!
I should've wished for you to be wiped off the face of this earth.
Lee Chung Ryul.
Are you satisfied to have hit it big with someone else's song?
Someone else's? I'm the one...
who completed the song that someone threw out.
Actually, if it weren't for you,
I might've not even sold my soul in the first place.
I will be
Your shade under the tree
Sorry. My hand slipped.
I won't sit by and watch you claim royalty for that song.
What?
Unbelievable.
When we walk under the blazing sun
Even your children's children will benefit from this stolen song.
That annoying jerk.
He would even sell his soul if it'd bring him money.
He's the perfect candidate.
There's no way his soul will be of first grade though.
That rude little brat.
Who is he treating like his equal?
What's the company's name again? Kitty Pharmaceuticals?
Mr. Park, it's been a while.
I just called to ask for a favor.
Keep it between us though.
Can you write this down?
Darn.
This isn't the time for me to fool around.
Hold on. Where am I?
No. No way!
No...
Please don't answer.
Don't pick up.
Hello?
I'm sorry.
I called you instead of the chauffeur service.
What's your location?
Stop it with that crackling sound!
- I'm sorry. - You'll leave crumbs in my car.
I haven't had a meal all day. I apologize.
What exactly is your profession?
How can you do music when you don't have time to even eat?
You're being arrogant.
I need money to survive first.
Enough with the sob story. Almost everyone has one.
Sure thing.
How much do you think a 10-minute lesson with me is worth?
- Probably expensive. - That's obvious.
Answer my question correctly, and I'll listen to a song of yours.
What's the question?
What do you think is a first grade soul?
I'm actually better at multiple choice questions.
Forget it.
If by first grade,
you mean a decent soul,
then I doubt there is one...
that is even good for the wind...
which blows back and forth.
However, there must be a soul that is beneficial to an individual.
One that'll hurt you once it's gone.
There will be a soul which leaves a huge void in your heart.
You should answer in five syllables.
Five syllables?
"Precious to me."
Wrong. Sorry about that. Maybe next time.
It doesn't matter anymore.
I quit music, you see.
You did what?
I quit music.
Oh, I see.
It's not because of you, so don't be bothered by it.
As if I were.
I thought of why my life had become like this,
and it was all due to music.
I was busy putting food in my mouth to even try my hardest,
and all I did was let jealousy take over.
No wonder my career never took off.
It's why I'm now done with music.
I'll work harder now and find happiness.
I will live happily ever after.
Good for you.
If only you had made that decision sooner.
It's best to give up before it's too late, you know.
Don't wait around and regret when you're 50.
You might think this is your only path,
but there are many you haven't walked before.
Look around you and you'll see trails...
that lead to joyful things.
Wherever you are and whatever you do,
I wish you the best.
I truly mean that.
Please forget all the bad memories between us.
Sure thing. Thank you.
On that note, let's start by erasing the recordings you have.
Sorry?
Dispose of the recordings from 10 years back.
I'm afraid I can't do that.
They're my memories, you see.
That hurts! Okay, fine!
- It hurts... - What do you think you're doing?
You sure are stronger than you look.
Why would you keep those when you're done with music?
Are you going to blackmail me with them?
I knew you were inconsiderate,
but you're now being completely unreasonable.
Unreasonable?
If you want to start over at 30,
you should focuse on building your resume...
and not on blackmailing others.
Play dirty for all I care. Here. Keep the change.
No, thanks. I won't take it.
And I'm not 30 years old.
You just want to blackmail me later on.
And you look like you're 30.
I won't take payment today because I owed you last time.
But if it'll make you feel better.
I hope you get over the regret soon.
Lots of people say they quit music...
but hum in their sleep and don't have a clue.
I don't think that's nice at all.
Okay.
You told me before...
not to think I have talent.
Don't think what you have is talent.
You look pitiful.
Anyway, I wish you success.
Though you're already successful.
Goodbye.
By the way,
this isn't that phone.
Music isn't like a pancake.
You can't flip it this way and that.
What's the occasion?
You got up early.
Let's hire a helper.
I can't do this anymore.
Oh, dear.
My goodness.
Don't. Don't do it.
Don't. Who told you to do this?
Why did you wake up early and just cause trouble?
Not again.
I told you I'm done.
However strapped I am, I can't do that.
I won't.
Mr. Kang.
Have you heard of the tardigrade?
I haven't.
It survives in 151℃...
and even in minus 273℃.
It survives a vacuum...
and even strong radiation.
It survives even in space, so it's almost immortal.
However much you want to kill it, you just can't.
It's a very amusing being.
I sometimes meet a human just like the tardigrade.
It's the struggle to survive.
If he really brings a first-grade soul,
will you release Mr. Seo?
If he survives like a tardigrade, I should release him.
But...
it won't be easy.
Is there any progress on what I asked you to do?
Oh, that.
I'm looking, but he isn't human.
Hurry.
If we think about what happened to Chairman Song,
he has to be here.
I understand.
It's just a fluid that consists mostly of salt and glucose.
But why is it bothering me?
Is it you, Mr. Kong?
Mr. Kong. Are you at the store?
What on earth are you talking about?
Someone's trying to...
come inside.
What? I Gyeong.
I'll be there. Lock the door and hide.
Don't move until the police get there.
Go!
I know you're in there. Come out.
Come outside!
I'll kill you when I get you. I'll break this door down.
Come outside!
Come outside right now! Come out!
Mr. Kong.
He ran away when he heard the siren.
They'll search the security cameras and find him. Don't worry.
Was it a thief?
There's nothing here to steal.
It must've been a thug knowing you're here alone.
Anyway, it looks like you can't stay here anymore.
It's too scary.
Okay.
How did you get here so quickly?
You were quicker than the police.
I flew over.
You don't know.
I can fly.
I'm sure you can.
So, do you have a place to go?
Don't worry.
Why don't you go home?
Home?
(Gyeong's Snackfoods)
This isn't enough.
I barely made this much.
10 percent interest, okay?
I told you not to put two strips of danmuji.
The gimbap's so salty.
- Why not eat at home? - What good would that do?
I have to go to work.
(Gyeong's Snackfoods)
The brat. She should drink the broth so it's not salty.
Not everyone
Can make their dreams come true
Not everyone can make their dreams come true
Regardless of how much
You try to run toward it
Not everyone can make their dreams come true
Regardless of how much
You try to run toward it
I'm not even halfway there
I'm already stuck
In the darkness
Where's my dream that wishes to fly?
How far do I need to go
To find that dream
I keep calling for it
It doesn't look back
It just tells me
To get closer
Although it might not last for long
I still hope I'll get to encounter my dream one day
- How far do I need to go - How far do I need to go
- To find that dream - To find that dream
- I keep calling for it - I keep calling for it
- It doesn't look back - It doesn't look back
- It just tells me - It just tells me
- To get closer - To get closer
When this song's about to end
Will my dream get to see the light?
I wonder where
My distant and painful dream is at right now
I need to have time to sleep in order to dream.
Why is the world so harsh?
Hey, it's me.
I'll take the part-time job.
I'll do it.
Stay still.
Don't look back.
Please... Please...
Please...
(When the Devil Calls Your Name)
That's just false hope.
Get out of here.
Hope is what brings out the ugly side of human beings.
You need to put an act.
Ji Seo Young knows Mo Tae Kang better than anyone.
I ran away from home because I wanted to learn from you.
Who are you?
Has anyone told you that you look like Seo Dong Cheon?
How is this possible?
How are things going with finding a first-grade soul?
I guess it's time for me to decide.
I guess music is kind of like a gift from the skies.
That's what music means to me.
Your music makes me feel rotten.
- I don't want your pity. - Who do you think you are?
You don't deserve to sing here!
