- What's the date today? - What?
Isn't today December 9th, Year 4355, of the Dangun calendar?
It's not the ninth, but the eighth!
The eighth?
It hasn't been 100 years then.
I'm one day short.
I woke up a day early.
Hello? Is this the police?
I'd like to report a break-in in Gongcheon-dong.
A pervert...
Seriously?
What do you think you're doing?
What's your deal?
Why did you wake me up?!
Why are you yelling at me?
You...
broke the promise.
What promise?
Do you know...
how much I suffered...
in that coffin?
You ruined everything.
It's all your fault.
You will be punished
for waking me up.
Hey.
Are you okay?
Hey.
Hey!
What...
HEARTBEAT EPISODE 2
...three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
Two, three, four, five, six, seven,
- eight, nine, ten, eleven. - Oh, no.
- One, two, three, four... - I wish he would stop.
- One, two, three, four... - It hurts this time around.
- five, six... - Please stop.
Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
Time of death, 20:48.
Dead?
- This can't be. - Are you all right?
- Could you please come this way? - No...
No way.
What... How...
How do you know the patient?
He got hit.
- By a brick? - Yes.
- Please have a seat. - Here.
Where am I?
This smell.
Hand me the glove.
All right.
Nurse Kim, let's stop the bleeding.
Hold on.
Right.
I failed to become human.
Darn it!
For now, I will return home.
DONGWOO UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
Are you sure you're okay?
Do you not need to take further tests?
I said I was fine.
Are you sure?
Are you sure you're okay?
I said we should head home.
Just a second. Let me go pay first.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Do you have the number? - Here.
"Self-service kiosk"?
The amount you have to pay today is 310 600 won.
What the...
Why is it so expensive?
We failed to identify the patient,
so the fee can't be covered by insurance.
TOTAL AMOUNT 310 600
Would you like to proceed?
- Oh, sure. - All right.
Will you pay it in full or in installments?
I'll pay in full.
Please insert your card.
CARD
I paid your medical bill,
and since you refused additional tests, I'm not responsible for anything anymore.
Don't say otherwise later on.
Got it?
Fainting after being bitten by a human? How humiliating.
You should've been arrested for a break-in,
not taken to the hospital.
Lead the way.
Let us head home for now.
We shall discuss the matter of you waking me up.
What are you talking about? We can just go our separate ways.
The world changed immensely during my slumber.
I feel quite lost, so lead the way.
Are you still half asleep?
Also, why do you keep speaking casually to me?
I told you.
I signed a contract with Butler Joo, your ancestor, 100 years ago,
which was to expire once I turn human.
However, with just one day left...
With just one day left before I turned human,
you woke me up again.
Not this again.
As I said, I know nothing about this.
Check with my ancestor if you don't believe me!
Why you...
How dare you glare at me!
Fine, I'll rise above it.
You avoid poop because it stinks, not because it's scary.
What? Poop?
Hey!
Have you ever seen poop this handsome?
Handsome or not, poop is poop.
Get lost.
I said, get lost!
What the...
What a rowdy young lady.
Wait.
Sir, please hurry.
Hold on a second!
What a crazy bastard.
Where are you going? Take me with you!
Where to, ma'am?
Everything is a mess.
Where on earth am I?
The world has become a completely different place.
I see a blurry reflection of myself,
but my instinct to suck blood still remains.
Perhaps I am...
somewhere between a human and a vampire.
Where are these people going?
A world where there is no distinction between day and night.
Even at night, it is as bright as day.
It's almost blinding.
I see.
What the...
I am sure there will be a way.
For now, I must return to my mansion.
It's a mess in here. We should've come by often.
Gosh.
Should we have gotten a bigger cake?
Just choose one already.
These are pretty. I love it.
Must we go this far though?
He's waking up after 100 years.
We should congratulate him the moment midnight strikes.
Says the man who never offered me a drop of blood on my birthdays.
Okay, I hear you. Anyway, you came prepared.
No way. This is so cool!
- It's for me. - Is it?
Why is it open?
What the...
This is the mirror I gave him.
Something must've happened.
A shattered mirror?
What the hell happened?
Maybe he was gravely shocked after seeing his reflection.
- What? - He found his face
far uglier than he had expected.
- No way. - I'm sure of it!
He saw his face after turning human
and was shocked by how ugly he is.
Then he ran off screaming at the top of his lungs
all the while regretting becoming human.
"I want to go back!"
Let's head back.
Shouldn't we look for him?
Forget it.
Would he associate himself with us now that he's human?
Woo-hyeol isn't like that!
Where could he be out in this dangerous world?
I'm famished.
My gosh.
Gosh.
Goodness me.
KOREAN RED CROSS
BLOOD DONATION CENTER
No, I should head home first.
Home first.
Home...
Right.
Good.
Excuse me, could you give me some directions?
How can I get to Shaded Oasis?
Look here. I am talking to you.
- Hey, I'm sorry I'm late. - You're here.
- It's okay. Let's go. - Okay.
RESERVED
What?
VACANT
Right.
I can get into one of those.
What do you think you are doing?
I'm the one who called this cab.
What?
What the...
What an insolent man!
Mr. Ko?
Mr. Ko!
Wait...
TO BE DEMOLISHED
It's not like I have anywhere else to go.
Mr. Ko.
Wait for me.
Mr. Ko, where are you going?
Wait up.
Mr. Ko?
What?
He's not Mr. Ko?
As if waking me up a day early wasn't enough.
How could she abandon me?
I'm going to teach her a lesson.
I won't let this slide!
Unbelievable.
What did you just say?
Were you yelling at the cat?
Well...
We saw you following the cat down the road.
That's not it.
I only followed the cat here
thinking that he was Mr. Ko.
Mr. Ko is a cat I know.
I mean, a person I know.
- What is he saying? - What?
Stop pestering the poor cat and move along.
Aren't you leaving?
Get going already.
You seem like decent people who look out for helpless cats.
Would you also be willing to help me?
SHADED OASIS
NO RESULT FOUND
There's no Shaded Oasis.
Do you remember any shops around it?
Until next time then.
OSIO RASA
Osio Rasa.
Otherwise known as Osio Tailor Shop.
- "Osio Tailor Shop"? - "Osio"?
I used to be a regular there.
OSIO TAILOR SHOP
There is one!
It'll take 15 minutes on foot.
It's close by.
DAEBAK BUTCHER SHOP, OSIO TAILOR SHOP, CURRENT LOCATION
What the...
Thank you for keeping the business alive.
You look just like your ancestor.
Your family will be blessed for generations.
What the hell?
What was that?
Well...
Some crazy guy told me my family will be blessed for generations.
- What? - He came out of nowhere and...
Unbelievable.
He may be crazy, but that's nice of him.
- Shouldn't you get going? - I should.
Couldn't he say something nice to me too?
Don't be silly.
Look at you
standing tall after all these years.
Now is not the time for this.
If I spend one more day in the hawthorn coffin...
That's right.
Why are you back?
- You. - Have you seriously lost your mind?
Did you think
I wouldn't be able to find you?
Whatever.
I'm done talking to you, so leave before I call the cops.
Why would I leave when this is my home?
You leave.
How dare you glare at me again?
As if that'll do you any good.
- Can you back it up? - Back what up?
Can you prove that the house is yours?
You must have a contract or something.
The key to the house.
Why do you have it if you aren't Butler Joo's descendant?
This?
That's right.
That is the key I gave Butler Joo
to signify that he was in charge of managing the house in my absence.
I can't believe how one can spew
- such detailed nonsense. - What?
My day has been hard enough because of you.
Your medical bill and my cab fare weren't chump change.
If I sue you for mental distress...
So please, let this be over when I ask nicely.
Aren't you curious about why I was asleep in a coffin in the basement
and about the relationship I had with your ancestor?
Not at all.
Oh, come on!
I stayed in that coffin to become human,
but you ruined everything!
Because you woke me up a day early...
Do you know what I had to endure in that coffin?
I couldn't change positions even though my back ached.
I had to endure bugs and insects going in and out
of every hole in my body.
Spirits haunted me whenever the seasons changed.
You startled me.
I'm not human.
So get lost.
Wait, you're not human?
Do you have any idea how excruciating it was?
Sure.
So you're a vampire
and you were inside a coffin to become human.
With a day left until 100 years,
you failed to become human because I opened the coffin.
Finally, we're on the same page.
Cut the nonsense, will you?
If that were true,
you should've locked the coffin
or written a warning saying, "Do not open."
Damn it!
Why you...
Where on earth is your father?
How could he not have told you anything?
I must hold him accountable!
I don't even know if he's dead or alive!
He abandoned his family because of money issues.
This is all he left me, so I should at least take it.
I'm not in a situation to be picky.
Goodness!
My goodness.
Since this is the case,
I will have no choice but to reveal my true self.
How? Are you going to show me your fangs or something?
You better brace yourself.
Is that it?
- Get out. - Hold on!
Is that it?
Will this not work either?
Look straight into my eyes.
Hypnosis?
Sure. Have at it.
What?
I see myself...
in your eyes.
You crazy bastard!
- Hold on. - Get out.
What?
If you come back in here claiming to be a vampire again,
I'll make you pay.
What?
Hey.
Open up.
This is my home.
Open the door.
My gosh.
I woke up after 100 years
but haven't been able to drink a drop of blood.
I feel so weak.
I couldn't even fight
a human girl.
My goodness.
Anyway,
where in the world
are Dong-seop and Sang-hae?
Why did Dad keep a house like this?
I hope he doesn't come back.
DELICIOUS CUP NOODLES
That's right. Mr. Ko.
Mr. Ko?
The trash?
What is he doing there?
Damn it!
Oh, gosh.
Did our eyes meet?
I hope not.
Is he gone? He has to be.
He's gone.
Go ahead.
You must still feel weak after fainting.
Have this instead of digging up the trash.
I have an extra.
Never have I smelled anything so flavorful before.
DELICIOUS CUP NOODLES
Reacting to food that isn't blood?
Could I truly be close to becoming human?
No way.
I can taste the flavors.
Goodness. Could it be any tastier?
It's 100 times, no 1 000 times,
no 10 000 times better than blood.
Oh, my god.
Isn't it hot?
It is.
That was insane.
That tasted insane!
What are you doing? Everyone's looking!
Sit.
I'm sorry.
What's wrong? Are you okay?
Something this tasty...
Have humans...
Have humans been enjoying this all by themselves?
What's going on?
Are you all right?
If...
If I had stayed in the coffin for one more day,
I would've become human.
I would've enjoyed delectable food.
But you!
You...
You ruined everything!
You woke me up a day early.
You ruined it all.
You ruined everything.
So set it straight!
Set it straight!
I want to be human too.
Until I become human...
Take care of me until I become human.
What's his problem?
What?
Hey.
Are you okay?
You're messing with me, right?
Right?
Don't tell me you're drunk.
You're drunk on noodles?
Unbelievable.
You can't be like this here.
Get up.
Get up already!
Hae-sun.
What are you doing?
Hae-sun, wait for me.
Wait for me.
Woo-hyeol.
Hurry.
What do you think?
This will be our secret hideout.
Isn't it great?
Look. We'll stack firewood here and light a fire.
We will bake sweet potatoes, potatoes,
and grill pheasant...
All I talked about was food.
Are you sure we can do that here?
You can't sleep here.
Excuse me. You can't sleep here.
Please get up.
You can't sleep here.
Where did the lady here go?
How should I know?
Clean up before you leave.
Again?
She abandoned me yet again.
She's so heartless.
Goodness.
Mr. Ko...
As if I'd be fooled again.
Why is it so steep?
You should greet a cat when you see one.
Where are your manners?
Seriously.
Mr. Ko.
- Have you been well? - Yes.
It's been a while.
I see that you failed to become human.
Yes, I'm afraid I woke up a day too early.
You're neither a vampire nor a human being.
How could this be?
I tried to go back into the coffin to sleep, but...
You would've turned into charcoal if you had.
How did you know that?
The coffin had already turned into charcoal.
Without its owner, a coffin loses its purpose.
It spent all its power sucking the vampire energy from you.
It did its job, so nature ran its course.
So where do I go from here?
Is there another way?
What did you hear when the coffin was shut?
- Screech and then thud. - Yes, it was a dud.
- Sorry? - Would it have killed you
to hold it out for one more day?
I wouldn't be frustrated if I had opened it myself.
Some girl opened it and woke me up.
My blood still boils when I think about it.
Hold on.
What did you just say?
A female human being opened the coffin?
Yes.
Is there something wrong?
Well, the coffin can't be easily opened.
Hello?
What?
Just a second!
Stop!
What on earth are you doing?
You can't do this without fair warning!
All my stuff is still in there!
You should've moved them sooner.
How can one move out in a day?
The man who conned me took off with all my money.
Look, I get that the situation isn't ideal for you,
but that isn't on us.
We have a job to do as well.
- Move. - Let's get to work.
You can't! I won't budge.
I'm staying right here!
What's going on?
We're busy people and can't accommodate your sob story.
- Move. - No, I won't budge.
- Goodness. Toss everything out! - I won't!
Toss out all her belongings!
- Please move. - You can't!
- Hurry! - You can't!
- Move her things. - My gosh.
- My goodness! Wait. - Toss them out.
You can't throw out my things like this.
Wait.
Just give me some time!
Okay, I'll move everything out, so at least give me the time to do so.
Seriously?
Come on!
Give me some time to move out!
What are you doing?
Goodness, you're here, sir.
What is this about?
The tenant is hindering the demolition, but it'll be over soon.
Is this how you do business?
- Sorry? - It's the 21st century.
What if someone gets hurt?
Can I hold you accountable if the company suffers a blow to its image?
That's not it, sir. I was just trying to expedite things.
Stop everything this instant.
Are you okay?
Are you...
Joo In-hae?
Do-sik?
NURSING FOR WOMEN'S HEALTH 1
Watch out!
I'm sorry.
Are you all right?
Are you hurt?
Your hand is bleeding.
JOO IN-HAE
You're good.
- Thank you. - It's nothing.
You only got hurt swerving out of my way.
It could scar, so go see a doctor.
It's been a while. We haven't seen each other since graduation, right?
Probably.
I'm sorry we met under these circumstances.
Housing fraud?
I feel terrible.
I haven't been too aware of the work my employees do.
I'm sorry.
Don't be. You have no reason to be.
The one to blame is the crook who took off with my money.
Do you have a place to stay?
Yes, I do.
I'm glad to hear that.
Is there anything I can help you with?
I feel responsible in a way.
No, it's all right. Please don't feel burdened.
- But still... - I'll take care of it.
And I'll move my things out by the end of the week.
You haven't changed at all.
You're still reluctant to accept help.
Take care, Do-sik.
Call me if anything happens.
- Okay. - Promise that you will.
Don't take it all on yourself.
CEO SHIN DO-SIK REFRESH REAL ESTATE CONSULTING
- Mr. Gu. - Yes, sir.
Can we look into the housing fraud that recently occurred?
Of course, sir.
Where on earth did she go?
No human can open a coffin occupied by a slumbering vampire.
The fact that she opened it and awoke you
tells me she is no ordinary human.
Keep her by your side and keep an eye on her.
She might be the one holding the key.
Butler Joo.
Who are you?
No one lives in this house.
What is this about?
I am the owner of this house.
What?
You see,
due to a personal matter, I had to vacate the house for some time.
Anyway, I am the rightful proprietor of this place.
Why does a young man talk in such an old-fashioned way?
Is this what's trending these days?
Anyway, what brings you by?
I've lived in this neighborhood for 20 years,
and your face isn't one I recognize.
Why can't you enter when it's supposedly your place?
Someone took the key.
Who?
I run a butcher shop down the road.
Why don't you come by for some coffee while you wait?
No, I decline.
Very well then.
WHERE LOVE BEGINS
- Good girl. - Thank you so much.
Thank you. I wish you happiness.
Enjoy a day of happiness.
Let's help our neighbors.
Let's share love.
Let's share...
You.
Right.
- Right. - Right.
It's you.
- I see. - Where are you going, you crook?
Are you stealing donations this time?
Why are you harassing me at my workplace?
Damn it.
Hey! Stop right there, you bastard!
Damn it.
How dare you take off with my money, you bastard!
Just wait until I catch you.
If I do, you'll be dead meat!
Damn you!
I'm sorry.
- What the hell? - Stop right there!
Damn it!
Stop right there, you crook!
Stop!
Gosh, go away.
I told you to stop!
Stop right there! Stop!
No!
Would you stop if you were me?
Where did he go?
I sensed her around here.
- This is... - You probably haven't had
a single drop of blood since you woke up.
You won't last in that state.
You must hold out at all costs until you become human.
Keep this in mind.
If anything bad happens to her,
all will have been for nothing.
You must keep her by your side and protect her.
I finally managed to shake her off.
You.
Stop chasing me, you leech!
Give me back my money!
Stop right there!
Let's see how long you can run.
I'll catch you today at all costs
and get back my money!
Where did this weasel hide?
You're one tenacious bitch.
I shouldn't have taken you in as a tenant.
- Give me back my money. - Shut up! As if I have any.
Give me the money you stole from me.
Or I'll sue you for today's incident too.
Hey.
You talk too much!
What?
Damn it. What the hell?
Who the hell are you?
Kids shouldn't play with these things.
What are you, a circus strongman?
Hey.
You're...
You're a monster.
Die, you monster!
Are you okay?
Was it...
Was it true?
Are you really...
a vampire?
Do you believe me now?
Let's...
go home.
HEARTBEAT
I'll pay in full.
Who said you could use my card?
Why?!
Do you have any money saved up?
Work your ass off to pay me back.
I got you a job at a funeral service.
I got you a job delivering dairy drinks.
Get lost this instant! Damn it!
He's no human.
He's a vampire. She saw him too!
Your hand is quite cold.
Cold hypersensitivity!
Are you not afraid of me?
I'm not that afraid of you.
But I'm not human.
I'm a vampire.
