SEE YOU IN MY 19TH LIFE
It feels nice to leave everything behind.
When you want to leave, you should just do it.
If not, you can't ever leave. And you'll regret it.
It feels like leaving a battlefield.
I know exactly how that feels.
There was the Japanese invasion,
and wars in Spain and the Goryeo Dynasty too.
You always tie everything to your past lives.
Was I too old-fashioned?
You're from the old days.
I think that's the place.
So what you're saying is,
this was a place from your past life a thousand years ago?
I only found out recently.
I only remember bits and pieces of my first life,
mostly from seeing visions in my dreams.
Could I ask what you saw?
I saw a man walking toward me through exploding fireworks.
A man?
What kind of man?
Are you jealous of a man from a thousand years ago?
No, I'm not.
I was just…
asking about him because I was curious.
I don't know who he is yet either.
But since I still remember him,
he must have been quite special to me.
It's not something cheesy like "love that lasts a thousand years," is it?
That sounds so good.
I'm going to be so excited if I ever see him.
Come on.
Ji-eum.
I read it again and again.
The storybook in the jewelry box.
You said I was so special to you
that I could lift the rocks that were burdening your heart.
I felt I had to reciprocate after receiving such a confession.
Will you date me?
No.
What?
Why not?
Since you turned me down twice, I'll do the same to you.
But I'll let you ask me the same question in one go.
Will you date me?
No.
Ms. Ban.
Will you date me?
Yes, I will.
I want to date Mun Seo-ha.
Hold on.
I've never done this before, so…
Give me a minute. I'm almost done.
All done.
How do I look?
You look gorgeous.
-I have one more thing. -One more?
Ta-da.
-Are they a set? -Yes.
Let me try them on.
How do I look?
You look stunning.
This time,
stay by my side for a very long time.
No.
I'll stay by your side.
Okay.
I hope we get along well in this life too.
Yes, ma'am.
Let's go.
MUJINJEONG POND WATER FIREWORKS
It was somewhere around here.
What's wrong?
Are you not feeling well?
No, I just couldn't breathe all of a…
I'm fine now.
All right.
EVERYTHING HAS A BEGINNING AND AN END
Let's go see a doctor.
You were completely fine until a moment ago.
Let's have them run some tests and…
I'm not dying.
Why would you say something like that?
Of course you aren't.
I'm sorry for worrying you.
But I'm really fine.
I think I just almost choked on something.
I'm really okay.
That's a relief but it was so sudden.
Director Mun.
Shall we head to our accommodation now?
Drink this first.
You scared me back there.
This is nice.
Director Mun.
What are you doing there?
Right.
It's more spacious than it looked in the photos.
The faucet…
It works.
And the fridge…
It's empty.
Director Mun.
Shall we wash up now?
What?
Already?
Why?
We already had dinner, so some wine would be nice.
And we'd be more comfortable washed up.
-Right. -Do you want to go first?
Me?
-Or together? -Okay.
What?
Should I go first?
Then let's do rock, paper, scissors. Ready-or-not. Rock, paper, scissors.
Yes! I won.
You're so cute.
Where's the bedroom?
The bedroom? Over here.
You can wash up and sleep here.
Where are you going?
To my room.
Why are there two rooms?
Shouldn't we have two rooms since there are two of us?
Of course not. One plus one is one.
We've also slept together when we were little.
You can sleep with me in my room.
Me too.
Cho-won was there too.
Anyway, let's reminisce about the good old days
and sleep together.
Go wash up.
Okay.
There's a lot of talk, isn't there?
There are quite a few articles and comments, so…
THE IMPACT OF DIRECTOR LEE'S CONFESSIONS…
It'll die down soon.
People eventually lose interest in other people's misfortunes.
The problem is that's not the only thing they're interested in.
They're just commenting on your looks. They don't care about the article.
"Mun Seo-ha is so handsome."
"He must've been a hero in his past life."
Oh, come on. I was the hero in my past life.
What's it to them if you're a bachelor or not?
I guess your father will have countless potential daughters-in-law.
I'm sorry.
It's nothing to be sorry about.
Ju-won was the one who needed justice the most,
but I can't do anything for her.
You revealed the truth.
Any apology wouldn't have mattered to Ju-won who's already passed.
Also…
I was greatly consoled by you.
When?
Ban Hak-su.
CONFIRMATION OF DEBT REPAYMENT
How could this happen?
My father was the one who killed me in my past life.
I know you burned it because he was my father.
I just didn't want you to know.
No matter how distant you were from him,
knowing that fact would have hurt you nonetheless.
Seo-ha.
You're all grown up now.
I'm older than you, Ji-eum.
Cheers.
Su.
He's Master Han-ya from the shrine.
SU, HAN-YA…
I was Su.
Then there was Han-ya from the shrine who looked like Seo-ha.
But who was it that called my name?
SU, HAN-YA…
Are you really the man from a thousand years ago?
Do you want to sleep with me that bad?
I'll let you then.
There's only one place left.
OKAY, I'LL FINISH THINGS UP
Do-yun.
You look tired these days.
So I saved up my allowance and bought this.
This is good for your joints.
And it's also good for a broken heart.
Have one.
Come on, just open up.
Should we eat out tonight?
Do the dishes.
I'm off.
Have a good day.
Okay.
He seems fine.
Jeez, that's salty.
He's definitely out of it.
So this place can show me my past life?
There.
Your face is all over the news.
All right then. Let's go see your past life.
Your grand past life.
What is…
You said you were a turtle in your past life.
This is a magical rock that looks like a turtle.
It instantly reminded me of you.
You insisted that you used to be a turtle in your past life.
You remember that?
Most memories from my past lives are vivid.
Even more so if they were special.
What were some special memories?
When I beheaded an enemy commander during a war.
I also wrote a great song.
You know it.
I've also achieved several feats in the palace.
The palace?
Were you a king in one of your past lives?
There were many different jobs in the palace.
I suddenly feel more respect for you.
But one memory trumps them all.
You're my most special memory.
You're blushing.
No, I'm not.
It's just too hot.
I don't think so. I think you're getting shy.
No, I'm not.
Were you scared?
-No. -Your hands are sweaty.
-My body is naturally hot. -Why are they so sweaty?
Is that so?
Isn't it so radiant?
Thank you
for bringing me here.
Come to think of it,
all the people from my past lives that I met in this life
are so special.
It must've been hard to believe me.
But they still did and even consoled me.
It feels like I've been rewarded
for all the pain I felt
from my past lives.
It must have been tough, Ms. Ban.
You're so warm.
LEE JI-SEOK
Why aren't you picking up?
I think I know why he's calling.
It's obvious why they want to meet.
Even still, there could be some business talk.
Wouldn't you need this for the hotel?
I did show up a few times.
And I got into a fight twice.
You fought? Why?
It bothered me how they mistreated Do-yun.
He's more than just competent.
People who don't know say that Do-yun is the one sticking to me.
But the truth is,
I'm the one who's sticking to him.
You guys are together because you both wanted it.
Relationships can only be maintained when the feeling is mutual.
See?
I was just thinking of Ae-gyeong and look who's calling me.
Hi, Ae-gyeong.
This is Min-gi.
Hello.
Why do you have her phone?
Ms. Kim is at the hospital right now.
What did you say?
-What? -What do you mean?
How far are you?
From where?
I told you Ga-hui is handing out her wedding invitations today.
She said you guys talked last week.
That's right.
She's waiting for you. You're coming, right?
Okay.
Take your time and come quickly.
What did she say?
Cho-won is coming.
Of course she should.
Seo-ha isn't picking up.
Maybe he's busy.
His secretary would know.
I hope he can make it.
DAEHWAN LEE JI-SEOK
I'm looking for Kim Ae-gyeong.
That way.
Thank you.
You're here.
Ae-gyeong.
How long did they say it's been?
It's been a while.
Did you already know about this?
She insisted that I keep it a secret.
Even still, how could you not…
I'll go speak to her doctor.
-Cho-won! -Cho-won!
-Hey. -What took you so long?
What was that?
You're literally at every meeting.
Wherever you are, I'll be there too.
-They look good together. -What was that?
You might become Daehwan Group's daughter-in-law.
-I'll toss my bouquet to you. -Hey. Cut it out.
Our group is considering buying stocks in your family's company.
If our companies end up working together,
then you and I will naturally see each other more often.
Wouldn't that be nice?
In your dreams.
I'm not into meeting people that way.
-There you go again. -Who is that?
He's my style.
Mr. Ha.
Hey, Do-yun.
You actually came.
But you should've sent Seo-ha here instead.
What do you mean?
He said Seo-ha can't make it
and asked if you could send the invite separately.
So I reminded him of how important this gathering was.
Ga-hui, your family owns an airline, resorts, restaurants,
and even a distribution company.
I told him not to disappoint the chief of Yuhan Group
and to show some dedication.
But the mere secretary showed up.
-Ji-seok. -What?
I'll be receiving the invite for Director Mun on his behalf.
Please understand that he's out of the city for business.
I'll ask him to give you a call.
Sure.
You should have some since you're here anyway.
No, thank you.
Hey, just eat.
There's a lot we haven't eaten.
This one's good.
Or have a drink.
Drink up. I'll pour it for you.
You should watch how much you drink.
You're making a sight of yourself.
What?
What's with him today?
That's enough. You're drunk.
She's right. Just sit down.
-Sit down. -Okay.
You'll only attract lousy men if you're that naive.
I said that's enough. You don't even know him well.
-What's wrong? -What's going on?
-What? -How do you know him?
He has a knack for detecting wealthy people.
-He's trying to get to Cho-won. -That's enough.
And she's just too naive.
How dare he?
What do you know about him?
Tell me.
He has a knack for detecting wealthy people?
Seeing as how he sticks to Seo-ha and me but not to you,
you really must be a good-for-nothing.
Hey, that's a little--
What makes you so great?
What do you possibly have other than rich parents?
Why do you humiliate him? It's upsetting.
Hey, I'm a little upset too.
I was just worried about you.
-We all are. -Come on, let's just enjoy ourselves.
I'm sorry.
Can you give me the invitation next time?
-Wait. Cho-won. -Cho-won.
-You're leaving?
Do you know who people gossip about more whenever I'm with Seo-ha?
Me.
They gossip about how much they have compared to me.
I'm used to it.
But that doesn't mean I'm fine with it.
I endure it because I chose this.
Just hearing them talk about him was upsetting.
I can't imagine how he must've felt.
WORLD-CLASS ACTS DONGBAEK CIRCUS TROUPE
-Uncle! -Oh, no!
Promise me.
Promise that you'll be born again
and will come to protect me.
I promise.
Come here.
I enjoyed rolling the ball
I was happy when I sang
With white makeup on and a red nose
I sang of love
Goodness.
Time passed by so quickly.
Where have your chubby cheeks gone?
They didn't go anywhere.
They just disappeared with time.
You're awake.
I guess you found out.
Look at you.
I'm fine. It's nothing serious.
I'm sorry I didn't know.
I was too distracted.
Don't be sorry.
People your age should be busy dating.
You guys looked good together.
That's not important right now.
How long were you going to hide this? You should've told me.
There was nothing to tell you. Even the doctor didn't know what I had.
I always get better after getting an injection.
There's no illness without a cause.
I told the doctor that we're going to a bigger hospital.
Don't you worry about a thing.
Let's just do as I say, okay?
I guess
you were pretty scared, Uncle.
How could I not be when you're sick?
You've lived so many lives.
You must've seen a lot of sick people.
Many must've died too.
But now I've made you worry.
I'm sorry, Uncle.
Cut the nonsense.
Just focus on getting better, okay?
Okay. I will.
So don't you worry.
It's normal to get sick from time to time when you're old.
It's natural.
People come and go.
And I could return like you have.
No.
Don't leave.
Just stay here for now.
Don't go anywhere.
Just stay.
Stay by my side…
for as long as possible, Ae-gyeong.
You're late.
I had a present to give.
Though I don't know how helpful it'll be.
Ms. Kim…
is hospitalized.
-What? -I saw it coming.
Perhaps…
this could make it easier to persuade her.
I should've just told Ju-won the truth.
This is something I have to do,
and something Ms. Ban needs to solve.
Seo-ha will also be okay as long as everything works out.
She'll be pretty shocked.
You should just go on your way.
You don't need to…
remember your past lives anymore.
The life you wanted is right ahead of you, so stop looking back.
Don't worry.
I finished seeing my first life.
What do I need to do now?
I'll tell you what to do.
And…
what comes afterward.
There's something afterward?
Yes.
I just arrived home.
I couldn't even say goodbye to you.
I'm sorry.
It must be tough for you.
Maybe I should've just stayed.
I can endure this much by myself.
Ji-eum.
Yes, Seo-ha?
When…
you feel like counting leaves,
just call me.
I don't know what to say to console you,
but I do know one thing.
Which is?
How terrifying it is…
when your beloved family is sick.
So…
just call me anytime.
I'll give you a hug
and keep you company.
Okay.
Don't skip meals. I'll call you again.
Don't go next time.
The hotel needs Yuhan Group.
And Chief Cheon Ga-hui isn't too bad either.
I was there for work.
Even still, I should be the one who attends.
All right then.
I didn't expect you to comply right away.
I suddenly didn't like the fact that I was there.
That's good then.
Is Ms. Jang in?
You're going there?
I'm finishing things up.
STANDARD FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
What about this?
You're quite bold
for someone who has committed one too many corrupt deeds.
The same goes for all other conglomerate families.
I bet your father has committed far more than I have.
This hotel is mine.
Do you know just how much I've taken care of this place?
I thought you'd say that.
I took these on my first day here.
I'm afraid those photos
clearly show just how much
you haven't taken care of this hotel.
This hotel was neglected by the group and I protected it for over 20 years.
Right.
This was…
my mother's notebook.
CONCLUSION MEETING AGENDA
DAEHAN PUBLIC BANK SINSEONG BANK
They're the slush funds that you swindled.
My mother knew
that you'd ultimately
bring down this hotel.
I admit to the poor management of the hotel.
But I've climbed up here step by step on the very stairs of this hotel.
This hotel could've been long gone but I protected it.
You only protected your position.
The position you stole from a patient by trampling on her every weakness.
Who do you think took care of your mom when she was sick?
Her son was too young and she wasn't close with her husband.
She would've rather died
than show her weakness to others and guess who took care of her?
I never trampled on your mom.
I was envious of what she had.
And I worked hard to get it.
You just coveted what she had and stole it.
You were a coward
who stole from someone who was sick.
You took advantage of my uncle
and threatened my father for what you wanted.
I will be taking legal action regarding this misconduct.
So save your energy
for the trial.
Are you done?
Where did you even get those documents from more than 20 years ago?
It was a gift.
A gift?
IT'S A GIFT
You sure it wasn't you?
The documents I found were from recent years.
I thought it was from you.
Then I would've said so and got a bonus.
Perhaps Chairman Mun…
-I doubt it. -I doubt it.
Ms. Jang will try to convince the board at all costs.
She'd rather die than see me manage this hotel.
You already spoke with him, didn't you?
Let's go.
After all I've been through…
I won't sit still.
The board has all agreed
to dismiss you from your position.
Sir.
The police are waiting downstairs.
The elevators are under maintenance.
So you climbed up here on the stairs of this hotel?
Climb them down as you leave.
Sir.
Please help me.
Sir…
Yeon-ok.
I think these are the prettiest.
Gladiolas.
Do you know what these flowers mean?
-Here you go. -Thank you.
Goodbye.
Farewell, Seo-ha.
Who…
It's a gift.
Seo-ha, you must have been a turtle in your past life.
Stop.
Stop what?
I told you to just sit still.
Why should I for goodness' sake?
Jeez, you never listen.
Come on. I'm fine when I'm not in pain.
Don't treat me like a kid.
You are a kid from today on, okay?
I'm going to take care of you like Uncle Jung-ho did.
That's that.
Unbelievable.
You took off the scarf again.
It's so suffocating.
I told you to keep your neck warm so you don't get a cold.
You used to get colds all the time and have a runny nose.
Goodness. You never listened to me once.
AE-GYEONG'S BRAISED KIMCHI
Mr. Kang Min-gi.
Ae-gyeong needs to be hospitalized for a few more days.
So the restaurant will be closed for now.
We might close it down for good.
I think you should look for another place to stay.
I'm sorry it's so sudden.
It doesn't matter.
I wasn't planning on staying for long anyway.
What did the doctor say?
They didn't know the reason for her chest pain before.
So they couldn't diagnose her.
But they found a lump this time around.
They'll run some tests and see if surgery will be necessary.
And?
Would that keep her alive?
We'll have to see, but…
What's with that attitude?
Ms. Kim…
won't get better with the surgery.
What do you think you're doing right now?
Why the hell would you say that?
Because I've seen it.
I've also experienced the consequences of reuniting with those…
from my past lives.
Just get to the point.
If you were normal,
you wouldn't have looked for Ms. Kim when you were little.
She wouldn't have known that you used to be her uncle.
And that would've been natural.
Reconnecting with those from the past
will only cause problems.
And normally, the ones who suffer
are not us who remember our past lives,
but them.
So you're saying…
Ae-gyeong is sick because I reunited with her?
Is that it?
It wouldn't have been as bad if you were enemies in the past.
Because you would've had something to resolve.
But fond connections are different.
You have to let those relationships go.
Do you expect me to believe this nonsense?
It doesn't matter! I'm speaking from experience!
Can't you see?
If you continue on,
Ms. Kim could even die.
"Enemies"? "Fond connections"?
This is my 19th life.
I've reconnected with my past multiple times.
And have you ever been with someone for this long?
And lived like family members?
Can you even say…
that this life is a new life for you?
Aren't you just clinging onto your past relationships?
Ms. Kim's not the only one, is she?
People from your past whom you've reconnected with.
Those people…
will meet the same fate as Ms. Kim.
Who are you?
Who in the world are you?
I want you to find peace.
I want to help you.
You still have a chance.
A chance to stop remembering your past lives.
You still do.
The answer is in your first life.
So you must remember everything.
If you can do that,
everything will be resolved.
AE-GYEONG'S BRAISED KIMCHI
There's only one way to stop remembering your past lives
and save Ms. Kim.
Su.
It was Cho-won.
She was the one who called me.
Is Ji-eum here?
So we meet again.
Have we met before?
It seemed like it at the hospital too.
You wouldn't know even if I told you.
You could still tell me.
She's in her room.
Okay.
Seol.
I need to save her.
I must save her.
Ji-eum.
Are you okay?
A person is dying before you!
So how could the heavens or rituals be more important?
Ji-eum.
What use are the heavens…
if there are no people to worship them?
Seol…
-What do I do… -You're okay.
-You're okay, Ji-eum. -No…
Seol!
It's okay.
I'll kill you.
Ji-eum.
I'll kill you.
-Ji-eum. -I'll kill you!
I'll kill you!
SEE YOU IN MY 19TH LIFE
Do you also know about past lives?
I'm in Ms. Ban's first life that she saw.
And so are you.
It'll be even harder for me to get close to him.
What do I do now?
Stop mulling things over.
Don't be scared and just do it.
If Cho-won really lets you go for the last time,
it'll be you who won't be able to let her go.
Please help Ms. Ban
become normal.
I'll be by your side no matter what choice you make.
