ALL CHARACTERS, INCIDENTS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND BACKGROUND ARE FICTITIOUS
We need to get out of here now.
Oh, no.
Are you hurt?
No.
What about you?
Jeong Hyeok.
Oh, no. Wake up.
What do I do? Jeong Hyeok.
Gwang Beom, are you all right?
Captain Ri.
-Captain Ri. -What do we do?
We need to leave now. Your flight is leaving soon.
Oh, right. I don't have time.
Gwang Beom, give me the car key.
-What? -You're injured too.
You can't drive with your leg injured. Give me the car key now!
Come on.
SUNAN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT SARIWON
Is there a hospital there?
What are you talking about? You need to go to the airport.
Answer me!
There's a hospital in Sariwon, but...
Don't do this. Go to the airport first, and we'll take care of--
What if he dies before that?
Which direction now? Hurry. We don't have much time.
Turn left.
He might end up dying in a car accident, not the gunshot.
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
What do we do? It will take a long time if we take a detour.
-Gwang Beom. -Yes.
Do you know what my favorite movie is?
Pardon?
Mad Max: Fury Road.
What?
EMERGENCY ROOM
PEOPLE'S HOSPITAL OF SARIWON
EMERGENCY ROOM
Blood pressure, 70 over 50. He's unconscious.
He's losing a lot of blood.
It's a hemorrhagic shock. He might have a cardiac arrest.
Press the wound with gauze and use vasopressors.
-Get ready for surgery. -Yes, Doctor.
Se-ri, you can go now.
If you hurry now, you can make it before the flight leaves.
He's losing a lot of blood, so we need extra blood for blood transfusion.
We don't have it in our hospital, so find it. It's an emergency.
Pardon?
What?
We need to find blood?
It looks like they don't have blood.
Then what do we do? A person is dying.
-She said it's an emergency. -I wish I could give my blood,
but my blood type doesn't match his.
Blood type?
-What's Jeong Hyeok's blood type? -O.
O? I can give him mine.
Se-ri. If you don't go now, you won't ever be able to go.
Attention.
When I call your name, take your passport and get on board.
As soon as you get on board, you must give me back your passports.
-Do you understand? -Yes.
-Kim Seon Suk. -Yes.
-Ra Yeong Sil. -Yes.
-Kim Jeong Sun. -Yes.
Coach.
About the reserve player.
The one from the General Political Bureau.
-Right. -She hasn't come yet.
And we can't reach Captain Ri Jeong Hyeok either.
She hasn't come yet, right?
You said she took off.
Did Lieutenant Cho Cheol Gang stop her?
I told you.
That man is good.
I get he's good, but where did he...
Where did he send her?
Hurry and contact Cho Cheol Gang.
How are those who got shot?
They didn't get shot on important body parts or bones.
If it was purposely done,
the only explanation to it is that the gunner has excellent techniques.
Where is Ri Jeong Hyeok?
I just asked Company Five about him,
and they told me he went away to attend a workshop.
A workshop? At the General Staff Department?
Yes. They say that is why he went to Pyongyang.
Call the headquarters.
-Look into his whereabouts. -Yes, sir.
-Seize Company Five's firearms logbook. -Yes, sir.
Please wait here.
Se-ri.
Gwang Beom.
We don't know
how the surgery will go.
Don't you think we should call Jeong Hyeok's family?
Captain Ri's phone is broken.
Okay.
You should go on and get the rest of the treatment.
I'll stay here.
OPERATING ROOM
Why don't we get our photo taken?
I mean,
we won't see each other again after I leave. It will be a memento.
There is no need for us to remember
or keep a memento of each other.
Look at you.
After acting all arrogant...
What a weirdo.
-Tweezers. -Tweezers.
Attach the styptic gauze.
Plasma injection.
Administer urokinase
-and general antibiotics. -Okay.
Tweezers.
OPERATING ROOM
Be careful.
The surgery went well.
I was worried his main artery might have been damaged,
but luckily, that wasn't the case.
Still, he has lost a lot of blood. His blood pressure is yet to rise
and he must watch out for tetanus and blood poisoning.
Above all,
he must regain his consciousness soon.
Let's see how it goes.
Thank you.
PEOPLE'S HOSPITAL OF SARIWON
Jeong Hyeok.
I am not
used to things like this.
I have been only
loving myself and hating myself.
And I have been only protecting myself
and abandoning myself.
All I had was myself.
I had nobody else.
So this is awkward for me.
Having someone else
that is not myself.
You looked at me,
listened to me,
smiled at me,
ate with me,
kept the promise with me
even if we didn't make any contract,
and protected me.
You did...
all...
those things.
All along,
I had you by my side.
Usually,
I don't
get scared,
but now I'm a bit scared.
I'm scared something might happen to you.
Does this mean
you have become
a special person to me?
Jeong Hyeok.
I got an urgent message for you from your family in Pyongyang.
Your brother
died of an accident.
You must hurry back to your country now.
Is that your piano?
Can you play the piano?
Could you please play it for me?
This might be my last time playing the piano.
Why?
Well...
I wrote a song for my brother.
Would you be my last audience?
Jeong Hyeok.
Well done. You did well. I'm so proud of you.
Are you all right?
Why are you here...
Don't talk yet. You just woke up from general anesthesia.
Later.
You shouldn't sit up now.
Did you
not take the flight?
I couldn't take the flight.
Why?
Well...
I couldn't go because of the situation.
You should have gone.
I know.
I should have,
but I couldn't.
-Listen to-- -Just to send you back home,
we all risked our lives.
Do you know what that means?
I do.
If you do, why are you still here?
You made all that effort go down the drain.
How much more do you have to trouble us until you feel sorry?
It seems the anesthesia hasn't completely worn off yet.
And that's probably why
you're showing your true feelings.
The doctor said you needed a complete rest.
I don't want you to upset you,
so I will leave for now.
When you feel better later, you can get mad at me then.
RI JEONG HYEOK
The patient woke up. Please check on him.
I see. I will let the doctor know...
The wound is clean and there's no bloody discharge.
Despite a lot of blood loss,
your blood pressure has risen thanks to the blood you received.
You're very lucky.
Still, avoid too much exercise.
You need to be treated well for the next 15 days.
You and your girlfriend must be meant to be.
Luckily, your blood types matched.
If she didn't give you her blood,
-you could have been in big trouble. -She's right.
I told her she would faint if she cried after giving her blood away,
but she cried the whole day.
-Where did she go? -Before he woke up,
she cried because he didn't wake up.
After he woke up, she cried because he woke up.
Is that so?
Please rest well.
Maybe she's crying again somewhere.
I wish
I could go somewhere,
but I don't have a car
nor a place to go.
How pathetic.
Have you lost your mind?
You can't move just yet.
It's cold. Do you want to catch a cold?
It's not your place to worry about me.
You got shot by a gun today.
Seriously.
Hold onto me. Let's go in.
I didn't mean
what I said earlier.
I'm sorry I was harsh to you.
Okay.
Fine. I accept your apology.
You're not dead.
I'm just thankful that you're alive.
Compared to that, forgiving you is nothing.
Now hold onto me. Let's get in.
What is it?
You wanted to go home so badly.
You should have just left.
I wanted to,
but I couldn't. I told you.
For once,
I had to protect you too.
Stop looking at me with such wistful eyes.
Don't misunderstand me.
-I'm just looking. -No, you're not.
For a second, your eyes were so very wistful.
See?
Even now, you're looking at me with those wistful eyes.
FIREARMS LOGBOOK
CAPTAIN RI JEONG HYEOK
The man in the shootout must be him.
Seeing that hasn't made it back yet, he must be suffering from an injury.
From this moment forward, everyone at the switchboard
will be on emergency standby.
-Yes, sir. -Call every hospital
that is within a radius of 20km of the place of the gunfight.
Call all the hospitals and doctors' offices
-in even tiny villages. -Yes, sir.
-Hello? -Is this...
Is this the emergency room in Songnim?
Do you have a patient called Captain Ri Jeong Hyeok?
Okay.
Is there a patient named Ri Jeong Hyeok there?
Is this People's Hospital of Pungdeok-ri?
This is Unit 527.
Why won't they pick up the phone?
MR. RI
The person you have reached is not available.
Why won't he pick up the phone?
The person you have reached is not available.
What happened? Did you meet Cho Cheol Gang?
-Yes. -Where is Yoon Se-ri?
He said he didn't know either.
What are you talking about?
They mobilized a truck corps to stop her, but--
A truck corps? Is there such a corps?
There's no such a corps.
They're Cho Cheol Gang's private troops.
So did they make a car accident or something?
-With the trucks? -Yes.
But apparently, Yoon Se-ri disappeared.
Disappeared?
Cho is looking for her. I'm sure he'll find her soon.
How could you make a car accident? You could have hurt her.
Hey.
Wasn't our goal to keep her from going back to South Korea
no matter what happens to her?
Are you saying
you don't mind killing her?
I thought we didn't mind that.
You must be busy.
What?
You want to be human while being a con man.
I'm sure you're busy.
Oh, my.
Who is that?
That's the bitch from earlier.
Sam Suk has just left,
and there she enters, as if she's been waiting.
I will bring tears
to that bitch's eyes.
Looking at her mother's face, that might be hard.
Then?
Make her show us respect. That's enough.
I heard
the head of the village was here.
She just came, and she's talking informally.
That's me. Who are you?
I'm the mother of the fiancée of Captain Ri Jeong Hyeok
of the frontline unit.
I'm thinking of getting an apartment here.
That would be difficult.
Why is it difficult?
It's difficult because there's no empty place.
I know the tall apartment building at the entrance of the village is empty.
I heard all about it.
By the way,
you seem way younger than me.
Is that how you show respect to the elderly?
Let's just go. We can find a place elsewhere.
-Let go of me. -I didn't hold you.
I know that you're uneducated, but this is just outrageous.
You're supposed to be kind to strangers.
What's with this attitude?
I don't get what you're saying.
What's with all the fuss?
Who are you?
I'm the wife of the Senior Colonel,
who is the boss
of Captain Ri Jeong Hyeok.
I didn't expect to see such a noble person on the street.
Dan, come on and say hello to her.
How about we drop all this and have a peaceful conversation
over a glass of juice? What do you say?
We don't need juice.
Just tell us why you need an apartment.
My daughter is marrying Captain Ri soon.
So I'm here to find them an apartment.
I see.
-However-- -Oh, right.
Look at me, being all forgetful.
I'm running a department store in Pyongyang.
That's probably
why I have these things in my bag.
They're so heavy.
Next time I come,
I will make sure to bring more things that you might need.
Here's one more for you.
This is where my aunt lives,
so I know very well about this place. Why don't you go up and take a look?
Please.
After all, a marriage has to be consented by both families.
Usually, it doesn't hurt to listen to your parents.
-Right? -I learned that from my experience.
-Right? -I agree.
Let's go.
All the rooms in this tall apartment building
has open mountain views.
The location is excellent too.
Water in the back and mountains in the front.
-It's the other way round. -Right, yes.
All the key facilities in the village are only five minutes away by foot.
Thank you. This way, please.
She got two.
Welcome.
Which floor are you going to?
Comrade Operator. Fifth floor, please.
The fifth floor is the perfect floor.
Does it stop often?
This is why I said it's the perfect floor.
A person I know lives on the 17th floor,
and said when there's a blackout, he couldn't walk up all the stairs
so he went back to the camp and slept there.
No wonder. The 17th floor is very high.
-It is indeed. -For sure.
Five floors are walkable.
Let's pull the doors open together.
Don't worry.
Come up.
-The door opens really smoothly. -Hold my hand.
Come on.
Don't worry.
-Come on. -Come on out.
Come on. There you go.
Look at the European-style wallpaper.
Isn't it just the ultimate luxury?
The landlord graduated Pyongyang University of Fine Arts.
That's probably why this apartment is so gorgeous.
-That's right. -Right?
Oh, my. Isn't this the famous Sung fridge?
It's a perfect size. I love it.
It's a perfect size to keep books inside.
In the bottom shelves, you can put your clothes.
The electricity isn't stable,
so fridges are often just for decoration.
It must be very convenient to store things.
-Right? -For sure.
Goodness. I haven't seen you since you were a baby.
-You're all grown up now. -I mean, do they raise a goat in here?
It's an eco-friendly way of using the space.
I'm sure you haven't even imagined this in Pyongyang.
My aunt is raising it
so she can throw a party when her son goes to college.
But I don't think he's smart enough.
-Oh, my. -Hey.
Parents can't force their kids to study.
-That's true. -That boy needs to be beaten up.
The goat has grown into a perfect size to eat.
They raise chickens too?
We all raise chickens on the terrace.
Where do you raise chickens in Pyongyang then?
Oh, my. Eggs.
Well done.
Mom.
-Do you want to continue the tour? -Why?
-I'll go to Jeong Hyeok. -Okay, sure.
Gosh, what was that?
The person you have reached is not available.
Could something have happened for real?
What? What is she doing here?
Goodness!
What are you doing here?
That's my question. What are you doing, Ms. Seo Dan?
Oh, right. You came to this village when I gave you a ride last time.
Why did you come here again?
-This is where my fiancé lives. -Fiancé?
-This is? -What's wrong?
Well, I know this house too.
Are you saying you know Ri Jeong Hyeok?
Right. Mr. Ri.
I'm also waiting for him now. He's not home.
If you like, you can wait for him in my car. It's cold.
You look better with your hair down.
I mean, I saw you.
You look better with your hair down.
I'm not sure
what you're talking about.
I'm sure you know.
You have no fever.
But why is your face so red?
No, it's not.
It's red. Did you see something you're not supposed to see?
Well, I'm the one who saw something I'm not supposed to see.
Last night,
I saw two people having a deep kiss out there in the dark.
The world must be near its end.
It was in the middle of the night. How vulgar is that?
Everyone is asleep at that hour.
When everyone is asleep, they should be asleep too.
Why did they have to come out in the rain and do that?
I'm sure it wasn't that bad.
I'm the one who saw it, and I say it was bad. What do you know?
Why is your blood pressure rising?
Your pulse is fast too.
I'm okay.
No, you're not. You're supposed to take a good rest.
I'll tell the doctor about it.
What did you say?
I didn't say anything.
You didn't.
I didn't.
What are you doing, by the way?
You got a hole in your uniform. Because of the gunshot.
I washed it to get the blood off.
I'll make sure to sew it up nicely.
I may not look like it,
but I have the Asian fashion industry in the palm of my hand.
Now, we have three options.
Number one.
Pretend nothing happened last night and act like before.
Number two.
Act as if nothing happened last night and never talk about it.
-Aren't they the same? -They're slightly different.
What's number three?
Honestly, it's not like we are teenagers.
Don't pressure each other over such a trivial thing.
Is that also slightly different?
Of course it is.
Let's go with number three.
-You want to go with number three? -Yes.
It looks like what happened last night is pressuring you a lot.
-You told me to choose one, so-- -Right. I did say that.
You made a good choice.
But anyway, it means you did feel pressure, right?
I understand though. Yesterday, you got shot,
you got surgery, you were still under anesthesia,
it was pouring, and I was crying.
So you probably did it on impulse.
I understand.
-But-- -I'm not giving you any pressure.
I hate that.
Such a minor physical contact is not that big a deal to me.
Let's both be cool about it.
I will return the sewing box.
Se-ri.
How did you come here?
Because we heard the sad news, obviously.
We made up an excuse, so we should bring some cement back.
Is Captain Ri all right?
I was so surprised to hear about him.
He's okay now. Don't worry.
The sadder news is that you didn't leave, again.
To us, it's devastating news.
He may say so, but when he heard the news, he was very worried about you.
Is that true?
Worry, my foot.
We brought some food.
That's good. This hospital gives rice without side dishes.
It's up to the patients' to make them.
I bought some things and made a lunchbox earlier.
What is "lunchbox"?
A packed lunch.
I see.
Did you make it yourself?
Yes.
Did you make the patient eat it?
That's right.
Gosh, it must have been
as lethal as a bomb.
Let's go.
She should have been more considerate of the patient.
He fell asleep!
He was awake just now.
Captain Ri looks very pale.
Are you sure he is recovering?
It's strange to see someone so spirited lying on a bed.
He looks a bit different, doesn't he?
He doesn't look different at all.
He does.
How did he get shot?
He shouldn't have pretended to be agile.
Don't say that.
He must be flustered to be bedridden.
Embarrassed is more like it.
-Hey. -He got shot during operation.
Weren't you listening earlier?
He was trying to protect me.
He got shot instead of me.
He couldn't dodge the bullet.
-I see. -I see.
I wouldn't say he got shot instead of you.
We can't rule out the possibility that Captain Ri failed
to dodge the bullet because it was too fast.
We know how it is.
The real life isn't like a movie.
You can't dodge a bullet.
Thank you for coming.
You should get going now.
But we came a long way.
-Do you have a soft drink? -Stop talking nonsense
-and go. -Hey, don't push me.
Take care.
We will come again.
Take care. Bye.
Open your eyes.
Why would you pretend to be asleep?
You are such a bad actor.
Did they leave?
Of course they did.
I am too ashamed to face them.
Tell me.
Did you fail to dodge?
Did you?
I didn't try to dodge.
-Why not? -Had I dodged, you would have gotten shot.
I am touched.
It's like a movie.
But don't do that from now on.
I doubt we will face such a situation again.
Even if we do,
don't even try to look cool
and dodge.
The same goes for you.
If something like this happens again, don't stay behind because of me.
Just go.
You always have to have the last word.
I mean it.
To think that you could have gone back to Seoul
makes my heart ache.
Of course I have a back-up plan.
Gu Seung-jun promised to send my regards to my family.
I am sure that they know I am alive by now.
It's cold.
What's the name of the game?
Boy General.
Is it fun?
Let me play it once.
Seo Dan, how old are you?
You are so small-minded.
What was the name of the game? I will download it.
-You can't download it. -Sure I can.
It must be on the App Store.
Cellphones here don't have such a thing.
When you go to Pyongyang,
go to the App Market and ask them to download it.
App, what?
App Market.
It's at Bongsa Market at Pyongyang.
No way.
Do I need to buy an app at an actual market?
How many times do you need to ask?
Let me concentrate.
Weren't you
waiting for your fiancé?
I guess you aren't worried about being unable to reach him.
This isn't time to concentrate on a game.
I didn't concentrate on it.
Aren't you hungry?
I am.
Why don't we go and have some noodles?
Noodles, my foot.
By the way, how did you meet your fiancé?
The decision was made a long time ago.
I see. It's an arranged marriage.
Yes.
Did you set the wedding date?
It's next month.
But your fiancé goes to the hotel with another woman.
It's not like that. They use separate rooms.
They do everything separately.
They are carrying out a secret operation.
-Did he confess his love to you? -He...
Well,
we will get married soon.
Hey, come on.
I told you on the rooftop that I seem to have a few things to teach you.
Listen carefully.
It might sound coldhearted,
but it's hard for you and your fiancé to feel a romantic attraction.
-Why not? -The ending is marriage.
What about it?
You are suddenly talking down to me. In any case,
The very reason one gets the butterflies
is because one knows not how things will end.
Will we continue to date? Will we part?
Will I get turned down? Will we be happy?
We have no way of knowing!
You need to be curious and anxious.
Your heart needs to beat fast to feel a romantic attraction.
You think it's impossible because we set the wedding date.
You should have captured his heart before setting the wedding date.
Give me a bottle of soju.
Okay.
To set the wedding date,
couples have dinner, drink tea,
go to a movie, confess love,
fight, stay up all night,
break up, run toward each other, and do all sorts of crazy things.
But you set the wedding date.
There is nothing to do now.
There is no excitement.
That's the downside of an arranged marriage.
How do you know so well?
I almost had an arranged marriage.
But it fell apart.
Once that happened, my heart began to flutter.
I couldn't stop thinking about her.
I will turn off the light.
Will you sleep there again?
What other choice do I have?
It will be cold due to the frigid air from the floor.
Sleep here.
Should I do that?
It is cold down here. I almost got a facial paralysis yesterday.
What are you doing?
Sleep here. I will sleep there.
Then you will be cold.
I was fine
when I slept in a hole during the winter training.
Coldness doesn't bother me.
The situation is completely different now. You are a patient.
Are you suggesting that we use the same bed?
Don't feel uncomfortable.
This is my bed.
As I always say,
there is no need for a war if we stay within our boundaries.
That's what I wanted to say.
Are you asleep?
Already?
How could you fall asleep in this situation?
The name is Ri Jeong Hyeok. Is there such a patient?
Are you sure he has a gunshot wound?
-People's Hospital of Sariwon? -Yes, sir.
Only the First Lieutenant's name was recorded, so it took us a while.
Contact the hospital.
-Tell them to keep an eye on him. -Yes, sir.
GU SEUNG-JUN
Hello.
Seung-jun.
Yoon Se-ri?
I contacted Mr. Ri so many times.
Are you
okay?
I asked you for a favor the last time.
I asked you to give my regards to my father.
How did that go?
Did you do it?
That was why I contacted Mr. Ri.
Let's talk in person.
Where are you? I will go to you.
Okay.
There you are, Captain Ri.
We searched for you everywhere.
I was so preoccupied with surgery
that I reported to the base belatedly.
That's right. We didn't get ahold of your whereabouts until now
because of that.
Give it to me.
Get out.
FIREARMS LOGBOOK
It's the Records of Firearms of the fifth company.
That's your signature, right?
-Yes. -You took out
a nine-millimeter semi-automatic,
enough ammunition for a battle, and a grenade launcher.
Were you preparing for a war?
The same kind of ammunition
as the one you took out was used to attack
the soldiers of the Engineer Brigade near Sariwon.
What do you think that means?
It means I fired the shots.
Are you saying you shot the soldiers of the Engineer Brigade
to protect a South Korean spy?
She isn't a spy.
To protect my woman,
I shot people who purposefully tried to cause a car accident.
"Purposefully"?
How are you so certain?
Do you have any grounds?
On what grounds are you so certain that she is a spy?
-That's-- -Chief Three of United Front Department
told you that, right?
Jeong Hyeok, it's about what you asked me a few days ago.
Apparently, Mr. Choi introduced Lieutenant Commander Cho Cheol Gang
to Chief Three of the United Front Department.
He asked for information on Division 11.
Is everything okay with you?
According to Article Three, Clause Two
of the management regulations regarding undercover agents,
a proposal must be submitted in order to receive personal information
regarding the special agents
of Division 11.
Did you do that?
Would it be okay if I request an investigation?
Comrade Ri Jeong Hyeok.
It seems like you have a lot to say.
Let's see if you can run your mouth at the State Security Department.
First Lieutenant.
Arrest Ri Jeong Hyeok.
Is the matter so pressing that you must drag away a patient with a gunshot wound?
I can't believe this is happening!
First, the State Security Department.
Now, Director of the General Political Bureau.
This is an interesting way to start the day.
There is a rumor that the director's son
is in this hospital.
I heard the rumor, too.
It's the patient with a gunshot wound.
The tall and handsome one?
He is the son of the Director of the General Political Bureau.
You wait and see.
I will marry into the family
and bring about the dazzling revival
of the economy of this hospital.
I think he has a girlfriend.
You can seduce a man with a girlfriend!
You can't.
Dan, what was the room number?
What are you doing? Who are you?
Who are you?
BTS.
I saw you watch a BTS music video.
-I am sorry. -It's okay. I am sorry.
Let's just go quietly, okay?
You asked me to get the person you recommended on the plane
as a member of the national team.
Why does the State Security Department want to arrest you?
Honey.
Answer me right this instant!
Please calm down. Let's ask him later.
Stay out of this!
What kind of trouble are you scheming?
If you make a wrong move,
so many people will use it against me and take me down.
Despite being my one remaining son--
Don't tell me to stay out of my own son's business!
He got shot.
He almost died.
He is our one remaining son.
We should be thankful
that he called us to a hospital, not a funeral house.
We should be proud that he is alive!
You should ask him if he is hurt and console him.
Why do you keep cornering him?
You should side with him, not the State Security Department.
Jeong Hyeok!
My goodness, Jeong Hyeok!
Let me get a good look at you.
Your limbs are intact.
How did this nonsense happen?
How did he get shot?
I don't know if he should continue being a soldier.
Mom, whatever you want to say, I don't think--
Before something worse happens,
he should change his job.
There shouldn't be another widow in my household besides me.
Wasn't Jeong Hyeok pursuing the arts?
Thanks to his mother who was an actress, he has good looks.
He was born with artistic skills.
Because of that,
I wanted my daughter to marry the second son, not the first son.
Mom, please!
I apologize.
Mother is this way because she is shocked.
That's right.
I was shocked beyond belief.
I did a disservice to everyone.
I apologize.
As you can see, the surgery went well.
I simply need to recover.
Please don't worry.
Let's go.
PEOPLE'S HOSPITAL OF SARIWON
Thank you. You can sit down.
By the way, how are you so good with the Seoul accent?
I watch the dramas and copy the accent,
-but it's hard. -I picked it up
because I heard and used it a lot.
I see.
Sticking to the basics is the key.
I am the biggest ARMY of Pyongyang, Hyun Min Ji.
It's nice to meet you.
Who is your favorite member?
-What? -For me, it's Jungkook.
He is so charming!
How about you? Who is your favorite member?
For me,
it's Ri Jeong Hyeok.
What?
He is so charming.
He is my favorite.
Bye.
She's so cool.
I guess someone's been looking after you.
Who is it?
It's the person you're thinking of.
You said she's your partner in your operation.
Is she your caregiver too?
Dan.
There's something I must tell you.
I never intended to fool you,
but things ended up happening that way.
What do you mean?
You see,
I like that woman.
I have feelings for her.
You think you fooled me?
No. I didn't fall for your lie, so you can't say you fooled me.
I was never fooled by you.
I thought I could marry you even if I had no feelings for you,
but I don't think we can get married
if I have feelings for someone else.
I heard she's going to leave soon.
Is it not true?
-It is true. -That's the reason.
Don't you see it?
You're sad because she's leaving soon.
You're afraid you may never see her again.
That's why your heart is fluttering.
You're deluding yourself into thinking that is love.
I'm not deluding myself--
Our wedding date is set, so you don't feel thrilled.
I don't make your heart flutter.
This is what happens with arranged marriages.
Dan, what are you talking about?
Anyway...
As for our wedding, nothing will change.
You have feelings for her?
Sure, go ahead and like her.
When she leaves, those "feelings"
will all be gone.
Those stupid feelings will all be gone.
You're already done? You can stay longer and chat more.
Mom, my wedding dress.
What?
Let's go and get my wedding dress.
We should get ready for my wedding.
Right, let's go.
Thank you.
I couldn't really stay there.
Why not?
Well...
I had a bit of a situation.
By the way, where are we going?
Oh, it's where I usually stay when I'm here.
I figured you probably haven't eaten or even had a chance to wash up.
You can eat some good food and rest up.
-What kind of place is this? -You'll see.
My gosh, what is this fancy mansion?
What?
You're Chairman Yoon's only daughter.
You're impressed by this?
First, tell me.
Did you contact my family?
Have a seat first.
-Did you contact them? -We can't call a Korean number from here.
But it seemed urgent,
so I contacted them through my friend who's abroad.
-And? -What do you think?
They're over the moon happy that you're alive.
Really? Who? My mom? My dad?
All of them, I heard.
Everyone from your parents to brothers are so happy.
You're lying.
-What? -There's no way Se-jun and Se-hyeong
were happy to hear that I'm alive.
Even if you guys fight all the time, a family is still a family.
They still care more about you than a complete stranger would.
I heard you had been missing
since the paragliding accident.
So you actually managed to get in touch with my family.
Yes, I told you.
So you landed here after the accident?
That's insane.
The weather was crazy that day.
And I found out later that the radars
can't detect paragliders because they're not engine-powered.
It was the worst-case scenario.
That's why they couldn't find you no matter how hard they looked.
I heard your brothers even hired private agencies to find you.
They said you can put your worries to rest now that they know you're alive.
They said you mustn't do anything reckless to go back soon.
There's a lot going on politically,
and you're like a celebrity, you know.
They said
they'll secretly look for a way you can return safely.
Right, they're even postponing the general shareholder meeting
as it would be pointless without you.
THE 36TH GENERAL SHAREHOLDER MEETING
Before we begin,
I'd like to clarify a few things regarding the rumors about my family
that have been spreading
in the stock market recently.
Yoon Se-ri,
the CEO of Se-ri's Choice who is also my daughter,
has been missing since an unfortunate accident.
We searched for her for a month while keeping it confidential
but could not find her.
Hence, according to Article 90 of the Family Registration Law
and following the guidelines for certifying deaths...
We have completed registering her death.
THE 36TH GENERAL SHAREHOLDER MEETING
Did you see this? Apparently, Yoon Se-ri is dead.
Isn't she Cha Sang-u's ex-girlfriend?
-Yes, she is. -She's dead?
Hey, Chang-sik.
YOON SE-RI'S DEATH REGISTERED BY HER FAMILY
Hello?
Su-chan.
Did you faint?
THE 36TH GENERAL SHAREHOLDER MEETING
Gosh, I'm worried sick.
Out of all 94,823,847 stocks
with voting rights,
a total of 5,798 shareholders,
including those who signed a power of attorney,
have exercised their voting rights representing 70,040,947 stocks.
Over two-thirds of the shareholders attending this meeting have voted
in favor of Mr. Yoon Se-hyeong taking over the management rights.
Gosh, is this really necessary?
I'll be sent to the concentration camp if I get caught selling wedding dresses.
Please understand.
Dan, you've gotten even prettier after living abroad for a few years.
Have a seat.
So you got back from Shanghai today.
I'm sure you brought something new.
I obviously didn't go all the way there just to eat some xiaolongbao.
I brought this wedding magazine from the South. It's a new edition.
My gosh! A new edition, indeed.
I was so scared of getting caught while smuggling this in.
Look through this and pick something gorgeous.
Dan has fair skin and a sharp jawline,
so something with a boat neck and a dramatic, full skirt
will look amazing on her.
Will you be okay with a full skirt?
She has lost quite a bit of weight.
Just look at her. Any dress would look amazing on her.
She's lost too much weight.
YOON SE-RI HASN'T BEEN SEEN IN PUBLIC
So? Is there anything you like?
MISSING SINCE PARAGLIDING ACCIDENT
Hey, I told you to pick out a dress. Why are you looking at this?
Mom.
I have to go somewhere.
Where?
-Open the door for me, please. -You can't take that. Give it back!
Let me out at once!
YOON SE-RI HASN'T BEEN SEEN IN PUBLIC
-You didn't find her? -No, I didn't see her anywhere.
Oh, dear. Had I known,
I wouldn't have gone to Masikryong Ski Resort.
I missed the opportunity to meet the Director of the General Political Bureau.
Still, his son is asking for our help, you know.
Yes, you're right.
I've been told that I will turn my life around at the age of 55.
You said he's asking to see the security footage, right?
You can just call us over if you need anything.
We would've made a copy
so that you could comfortably watch the footage in your bed.
It's okay.
Thank you for your help.
You must be busy. You can all go back to work.
Are any of you busy at the moment?
We have a lot of time to spare.
We have nothing better to do, so please keep looking.
There.
What is it? What's the matter?
May I use your phone?
Gosh, you don't even need to ask.
Feel free to use everything at the hospital as if it's yours.
Did you look up the license plate number?
Yes. The vehicle does belong to the Ministry of People’s Security,
but it's fake.
-You mean, the number is fake? -Yes.
I looked further into it, and it looks like
the State Security Department uses the vehicle.
Apparently, it was used for a long-term event at the guest lodge.
But from what I know, the guest lodge was shut down a while ago.
I wonder what's going on.
Where is the guest lodge?
On the map, it's showing
in Bongdeok-dong in Kaesong. The coordinates are 35, 129.
It won't be easy to find it though.
Hey.
Why didn't you wake me up?
Because you seemed exhausted.
Can I use your phone?
Have a seat. The food is ready. Let's eat.
Let me make a call first.
A call? Why?
I left without even telling him. He must be waiting for me.
Who?
That bodyguard?
Yes.
But you don't need him anymore.
What?
I said, you don't need him anymore.
Is it Yoon Se-ri?
Her name.
You have me now.
You can stay here with me and go home.
Why do you want to spend time with him?
You said you couldn't be there. That's why you escaped.
The situation earlier today...
Wasn't it dangerous for him as well,
not just for you?
Let's be honest. You can just leave.
But what about him?
He has to live here for the rest of his life.
Don't you think you're being cruel to him?
You see,
he might die because of you.
Can you explain this?
YOON SE-RI HASN'T BEEN SEEN IN PUBLIC
So this is her?
The woman you like.
Answer me.
Did you know
who she really is?
Yes, I did.
What the heck is a South Korean woman doing here?
She ended up here due to an accident,
and we met by chance.
-She'll go back soon. -So you're helping her hide?
That's right.
If you get caught, you might lose everything you have.
What I'm saying is,
she could get you killed.
And you still
like her?
100 PERCENT PURE CARBONIC ACID
THIS IS THE TASTE OF TRUE BEER
WELL-MADE BEER
You studied classical music back in school, right?
Do you know this song?
What is this song?
I don't know.
I just happened to hear it somewhere a long time ago,
but I have no idea whose song it is.
I looked up all the songs I could think of
and asked my acquaintances that know a lot about music,
but no one knows what song it is.
Play it again.
I have no clue.
I really want to hear it one more time,
but no one recognizes the melody.
Where did you hear it?
A few years ago,
I went to Switzerland.
Back then,
I didn't want to live.
I thought
it'd be nice to spend my final moments
in a place with beautiful scenery.
But during the trip, I realized
that I did not want to die.
I just didn't want to live.
I just
needed some consolation.
I'd never live the kind of life where I could be loved by those whom I love,
but I still
wanted to hear someone say
that I could live
and that I must keep on living.
And right at that moment,
that melody started playing
as if it was the answer to my prayer.
"You can live.
You must get through this."
It gave me solace.
If you like him, you should just disappear now.
They broke off their engagement. He's not her boyfriend.
A fake marriage with you?
I, too, will do anything to protect my fiancé.
Bring that South Korean woman to me at once.
I came for you. I figured you'd be waiting for me.
Your safe return to Korea means
that Ri Jeong Hyeok's safety won't be guaranteed.
