- That side? - We looked.
Are you not hurt anywhere?
I missed you.
Flowers in this world have their own special meanings behind it.
Do you know the meaning of this flower?
What is it?
Something that you have but I don't.
It's 'memories.'
Then, are you saying that the two of them went to the office together?
Yes, My Lord.
Okay. Go ahead and work.
It turned out for the better.
Now that the evil omen has penetrated deep into the village,
all that needs to happen is for disasters to happen.
That's right.
Then... what should I start first with?
Let go!
You, bastard!
How dare you block him. Come on in.
In this late hour of the night, what is a guest of the inn
doing here? Are you inconvenienced in anyway while staying at the inn?
Look here, Inn owner! No matter how I think about it, it's just too much.
The fact that when you have a permission paper, you
have forcefully bound our merchant's ship at the port,
and raking on a huge amount of fare to stay at the inn;
That I can accept. But, it's been 20 days.
We also need to make a living!
Ah, my dear inn guest, you have yet to promise that
you'd give us exclusive rights for the cargo.
Therefore the days just get longer.
Damn it! What a terrible robber you are!
It's as if you are blocking the street corner to rob people off,
did you think we are traveling 1000 li (~400KM), no,
10,000 li (~4000KM), in order to satisfy your greed?!
I will reveal your atrocity to the whole world!
Go safely.
Huh! Isn't that a person?!
Wait.
A person has died!
Tell the officials!
A person has died!
Episode 5 Oh, no, what's going on?
His height is approximately 7 chuck 9 chon (~170CM),
and his hair length is about 2 chuck 5 chon (~61CM).
There is no trace of battery or strangulation.
What about the reaction with poison?
We put the silver hairpin in his mouth, but the color (OF SILVER) did not change.
They said they knew no previous illness of him.
Seeing that it's a death without identifiable cause,
there is a rumor about a mermaid casting a curse
and causing this kind of misfortune, and people are trembling in fear.
Please conclude the investigation swiftly and bury the body in a nice and warm spot.
I think it's best to quiet down the panic-stricken rumors.
Whether this case is caused by a curse cast by a mermaid,
or a scheme crafted by someone who is using
people's fear; there is no way of knowing it yet.
I will definitely find the truth about this death through thorough
investigation. Until then, we will not hold a funeral service.
I am tasking you, Judicial officer, physician, and
undertaker, to do your best in the investigation.
Who are you?!
Hong Nang! What brings you here?
Elder, this lady is the head shamaness from Mt. Geumman.
According to her, an evil mermaid is hiding in this government office.
- Geeze! What on earth?! - What kind of nonsense is that?
You can't believe it?
Then, can we search this place?
Are you crazy? My Lord, the town head, is not even here. No, you can't.
Should we cut out the town head or our elder?
My Lord! My Lord!
Right now, people are gathered at the office trying to find the mermaid.
They are searching everywhere and it's such a mes-
He doesn't even know how to be thankful when I inform him something! Let's go together!
I had a dream.
Inside that dream, I am living in a strange world.
And also, you are also there.
I painted you and me from what I saw in my dream.
If that is just a dream or a hallucination.
Or if I'm seeing the future of another world.
I can't know exactly.
One thing is certain,
Oh, no, you can't.
That the things that are happening now...
will also happen at that time,
just like that... strangely;
The fact that this fate is repeating again.
Legend of the Blue Sea.
I'm here to ask about the murder case in house #22-4.
May I go in for a minute?
Police
Who are you?
Is this how the investigation is done? I
thought it was normally done in groups of two.
Let me see your government ID.
You don't even have a 2-way radio.
You.. Are you really a police?
Where are you going? Take your hat off. I don't think that
person is a police, he's suspicious. Please go after him.
Sir, you're not in the situation to report others.
You were not compliant with the police security
checkpoint just now and sped away with your car.
Why did you do that?
Oh, that..
I heard that there was a murder case in this area, and
so I was worried about my girlfriend who was home alone.
My girlfriend is easily scared.
I'm not easily scared.
Yes, you are.
I am?
- Yes, easily. - Easily?
-Yes.
Excuse me, we are going to check your identification
for a moment. Can you show us your ID card.
Ah, yes.
I request for checkup, please.
NAME: Kim Hyun Sung, ID number: 870521
What is this? He's the guy that escaped after knocking pass security checks, isn't he?
I don't think it's him.
I've seen his back somewhere before.
Sunbae! We got a report that someone has seen Ma Dae Young near Oksoo-dong.
- Where in Oksoo-dong? - Let's go for now.
Ask for a backup from Oksoo-dong patrol unit.
Since I turned 9 years old, I used to avoid making
bogus phone calls to the police and fire station.
But because of Heo Joon Jae, I'm doing this
kind of illegal act again. Geesh, Heo Joon Jae!
Yes, he has no criminal records and his address
has been confirmed. There's nothing wrong.
Anyway, because you have gone against commanded instructions,
you have to pay the fee based on Traffic law #5.
Of course, I'll pay the fees. Yes.
When you get the notice, you must make the payment within 60 days.
Yes, sir. You really are working hard in this cold weather.
Then, we'll be going inside.
Let's go in. You were really shocked, right?
No, I wasn't really shocked...
No, you were really shocked. Come on, let's get in.
Police
Where did I see that guy?
Do you know that person?
No, it's not that, but strangely I don't like him.
You know when you see a person for the first time,
but for some reason you really don't like them.
I strangely don't like him.
What happened here?
Does it hurt?
Hey, you. Why do you open the door to just anyone like that?
I opened it because someone came-
Because it's not a shark, but a human.
Why would a shark come here?
And a human is more dangerous than a shark.
A human is more dangerous? Why?
In a year, there are under 5 sharks that kill humans,
but the numbers that humans killing sharks is tens of thousands. Who's more dangerous?
Human?
That's right. That's how dangerous humans are.
So, when someone you don't know comes, you should never open the door-
But Heo Joon Jae, doesn't your hand hurt?
Didn't I tell you, that protecting others
should be after you protect yourself.
It's the same for worrying. Before you worry about others, worry about yourself.
You take care of your own body first.
Seriously, what am I doing..
Ah, I'm really weird these days.
Heo Joon Jae, I'm curious of something.
What again?
Where did the small people inside there go?
What?
Are they in here? Can't you tell them to come out?
- To come out? From there? - Yes.
Earlier, "Your real father is.."
It finished like this, and then said, "until next time," then we will meet.
I'm so curious who the real father is.
- Are you that curious? - Yes.
Say, should I try asking then?
Oh, really? Are they people you know?
Of course I know them, they pay me rent to live
in my house. They live inside there, don't they?
Really?
I'll call them and ask.
Hello?
Yeah, are you ok?
Oh yeah, it's me, I'm the house owner.
What house owner?
How can you just go inside like that?
Go inside where?
I mean, shouldn't you finish what you were going to say before you go?
Finish what?
Why do you stop in the middle of saying something. That's shameful.
What's shameful? Are you crazy?
Say it.
Who is your real father?
Father? You really just hit my weak spot. I'm an orphan, remember?
Yes, I understand. Yes.
Wow!
What did they say?
You say first.
Say what?
How we met in Spain, and what we did,
and why I can't remember those things.
Tell me the truth about it all.
Can't you be the only one saying?
Of course not. Why? The world is 'Give' and 'Take.'
'Give' and 'Take'.
How can there be a 'Take' when there's no 'Give'.
Even if there's no give, can't there be just take.
No. The world doesn't work like that.
Then, I'll just wait "until next time."
I'm good at waiting.
Hey!
You may be good at waiting, but I'm not.
I can't wait. Listen carefully.
For you, 'next time, ' is tomorrow.
If you don't tell me anything until tomorrow, you have to leave.
It's tomorrow, ok?
What happened?
Hwewon-dong incident. It's your doing, isn't it?
It doesn't matter if you believe me or not, but I didn't do it.
Don't make things more complicated and just do what I tell you to do,
it's not like you don't know what card I have in my hand.
What about Joon Jae? Did you find him?
Send me the address of where he lives.
Mother, what are you doing?
Why aren't you sleeping?
I felt hungry after doing some work.
Is there anything to eat?
Of course, I'll prepare it for you.
Thank you.
Oh, I want to eat the sandwich that you make.
Really? I'll look to see if there are the ingredients.
Joong-gu Sogong-ro, Road 4, Number 29.
Are there the ingredients?
Yes, I'll make it for you quickly, my son. Just wait a little.
Oh, mother, your phone was ringing.
Oh, my! Hey!
Oh, no.
You should have been careful.
I'm sorry.
Mother, why don't you get a new phone?
Who uses a folder phone these days?
I'll get you the latest phone, ok?
Hey, what are you doing?
You saw me?
Don't worry about me. I just wanted to see you.
Hey, put your head in. Go back in.
Go back inside!
Ah seriously...
But why aren't your friends at home yet?
They're not coming home tonight.
So you mean it's just the two of us?
Hey, you are scarier when you smile like that.
Aren't you going back in? What are you? A ghost?
I'm sorry, but can you just not be concerned about me?
I'm doing this just because it's fun. Want to see?
You can just close your eyes. If you close them, then you won't see me.
This isn't some summer horror movie special! When something
keeps falling from above, how can I keep my eyes closed?
Ah... so you don't like me doing this?
If you don't like it, then should I come down? Come next to you?
Ah... okay. Then I guess I will have to come down.
Yes, come down. Come down so you can just leave.
You can leave today or tomorrow. Whichever is fine.
Come down. Why are you going back up?
Close the door all the way.
Ah, she really scared me.
It'd be nice if tomorrow wouldn't come.
Why are you here?
I see you are still here. Is Joon Jae inside?
Heo Joon Jae told me not to open the door for strangers.
I'm not a stranger though.
What are you doing?
You are a stranger to me.
Is this your house?
I came here to meet Heo Joon Jae!
Ah... I see.
Come in. Why are you down there like that?
That little...
Where is Joon Jae?
He said he was going for a jog.
What about Oppa Nam Doo and Tae Oh?
They haven't came back.
Unfortunately, it was only for yesterday. Wish it could last forever.
Then... it was just the two of you yesterday?
Yep...
Cheong... Listen to what I'm about to tell you.
To be honest, Joon Jae and I are going to get married.
- What is marriage? - Marriage is...
when a man and a woman live together, love each other, and live for each other.
Ah, you mean like what me and Joon Jae are doing right now?
No, what you and Joon Jae are doing isn't marriage.
To say it accurately, it's being a parasite.
What's being a parasite?
Being a parasite, is sponging off a person.
Marriage is living with each other because you want each other. That's the difference.
Did Joon Jae say, "let's live together"?
He didn't. Being here like this when the other person doesn't want it,
that's exactly what sponging off a person is,
like a parasite sucking the blood from a person.
I didn't suck the blood from a person. I didn't suck his blood.
No, I'm not saying that you actually sucked his blood...
You don't seem to understand if I say it politely
Shall I be a bit more direct?
Just get out.
Don't just stay stuck here like the king of all parasites,
Get out!
Ah! What is wrong with you?!
Ah, you're hurting me!
Are you some type of crazy puppy?
Why are you biting people?
Don't be too hard on her.
I screamed earlier because I was surprised but it really didn't hurt that bad.
What are you looking at?
Cha Si Ah told me to get out.
- No, I just... - Then are you not going to leave?
You said that you'd leave by today if you didn't tell me.
What? What does she have to tell you?
Just something. Get up. Can you drive?
- I have to take a taxi. - Let's go. I'll call you a taxi.
You better get ready to get out.
I'll come back for my car when my finger heals.
Oh, yeah. Did I tell you what I have been up to these days?
In the sea in front of Yangyang there was a several hundred year old wreck discovered.
The relics found there are really unusual. Do you want to see them?
Get in.
Did you know?
If you confess that you love someone on the first
day of snow, then that love will come true.
Really?
I didn't know that. That's how it is, I see.
Geez!
You're doing so well, watching racy stuff.
Come here.
Come and eat.
It's hot. Blow on it first.
Stop blowing on it and eat.
Are you done eating?
Hand.
This is a cellphone.
You know what a cellphone is, right?
Watch here.
If you press on this 1 for a long time, my
voice will come out. Person I don't really know
Like this. Sim Cheong
Don't just press it whenever you want.
Press it when you change your mind, when you want to tell me everything.
You can only press it then.
And this is a public transportation card.
That's it. You can be on your way now.
- Go. - Is right now our "until next time"?
Yeah, you promised me yesterday, right? Do you know why promises exist?
What did I say promises exist for?
They exist to be kept.
That's right!
They exist to be kept.
You're well aware.
So, if you have nothing else to say to me, take that and leave.
Then you make a promise, too.
Why should I?
It's "give"..."and take".
- What do you want me to promise? - Let our "until next time"
be on the day it first snows.
Hey. Why would we need an "until next time"?
It's because I have something I want to tell you on the day it first snows.
What is it? Say it now.
Right now?
I can't say it right now.
Our "until next time"...
Over there.
What.
- Namsan? - Yeah, let's meet there.
I don't want to. Do you know how crowded it is over
there when it snows? Not to mention the traffic.
I don't go outside on those days.
But there's something I have to tell you on that day.
If you promise me, then I'll leave.
Fine, I got it.
Leave.
What is this. Why aren't you leaving? Move!
I'm going to figure out exactly what you are,
where you're going, who you're meeting and why you're here.
Go! I said move!
Don't be scared, I won't eat you.
How did you all get here?
Oh, from there? I've been there before too.
The water was nice there, lots of dolphins too.
You think this is unfair? More unfair than what I'm going through?
I traveled such a distance with my eyes on one guy.
I'm not asking for much.
I just want to live with him, us loving each other and being there for each other.
Not sponging off of him.
I just want to do that.
What would you like? Do you want to come inside?
Bye.
Hey, dude. Did you really kick her out? In this cold weather?
It's not even that cold.
Coldest day this winter... Snow 'Pouring'
- What do you want me to do? - You want me to take care
of her forever?! - You're such an enigmatic punk.
It was only yesterday that you were through the roof, both lights on, speeding like a
crazy bastard-Even when I told you not to go, you said "Cheong-ie's alone!" and went off.
But today you kick the poor girl out in this freezing weather!?
I did that yesterday because it was dangerous!
Hey, isn't the outside world dangerous? It's more dangerous out there!
Sudden Increase in Violent Crimes for the Holidays
Whatever. What am I, her guardian?
I mean, okay, you're not her guardian.
But our Cheong-ie is the angel who gave you
a $6 million bracelet for free.
What are you glaring at!
Hey, you're the one that always said to never go against people who have nothing.
Cheong-ie isn't just completely broke! She has no idea what's going on around her!
What is this.
Why are you going to Gangnam?
- Where are you going? - Gangnam.
Hey, it's not the time for you to go to Gangnam right now.
I've discovered a quite decent target for our next project!
The highest degree that she attained was from a girls' vocational high school.
But she goes around with a Harvard sticker on the back of her car.
I'm saying, during a recess time like these, us
mothers have to join together to stand against them!
Why do our kids have to go to the same school as kids who only have a rent?
Isn't that why the neighborhood always looks shabbier by the day?
She's sensitive towards the school system and her neighborhood.
She named a dog "Oh Baek (500)" because the expense of the dog is ₩5 million (5000
(USD) a month and becomes absolutely frugal when faced with a 50 cent donation.
- Why are you so curious, because of the bells? - This lady
fabricated a decrease in sales from her husband's account book
to feed her slush fund and they say she's
looking around to see where she should invest.
In other words, she's just blindly holding money, she won't be
able to report anything even if she gets her pockets emptied.
Our food.
Welcome, madam. Is this your first time here?
Lady. Hold Oh Baek and give me my back.
As you wish.
Hello Madam!
Where is our baby hurting?
Ajummah!
What?
I'm going to the department store later and I'm going to
completely fill my closet with new things, so throw these away.
It looks like there's a lot of new stuff in here.
- Yes, I understand... - And Ajummah, what kind of get-up is this when you're working.
What's... wrong with my clothes?
If I ask something then answer it, don't question me!
Oh my, why are you glaring at me like that? Look down!
"Hah"? We won't need much talking between us.
Ajummah, thanks for your hard work.
Get out.
- Please sit Madam. - No, it won't take long.
I was going somewhere and I just stopped by to say
hi and to thank you so much for the food last time.
Oh my, was it to your taste?
My darling didn't have an appetite for a long time so he couldn't eat anything
but he seemed to eat the food from last time with no problem.
It must be just what he likes!
Really? That's such a relief!
I'll make you more whenever you want!
Get back safe and please drop by next time too.
Alright.
Goodbye.
Ahjumma!
Yes. I will be packing my bag and head out.
No, where?
You told me to go out.
If you are to throw the trash, you should go out side.
You can't throw the trash inside. So I told you to go out.
Go out and throw the trash and come back in.
That's what I was saying.
What are you talking about?
While you're saying about things about how i look up and how I dress...
No, that is... if you always look that way, I was thinking how your eyes would be tired.
That's why you should look down comfortably. That's what I meant.
Your clothes are... what's this?
Where did you get it? Where did you buy it?
I was going to ask you how nice they were.
You were hurt when you heard those?
I'm the one who's going to be upset.
All this time, I have worked so hard...
Our Madam Mo has been working so hard all this time.
That's why I'm so thankful.
In the future, please work hard too.
No, I think there's a lot of problems with my speech.
I'm going to have to be careful from now on, right?
No. I must have misunderstood what you said.
Then from now on, there is no misunderstanding between you and me.
Ah! Should we go to Noryangjin later on?
To buy crabs?
You met that guy but got kicked out?
I wasn't kicked out. He just told me to leave.
That is being kicked out. - But then he told me to meet again at the same time.
Anyway, it seems like you would have to live as a homeless.
But the timing is not good. It's cold now.
Go and look for refrigerator boxes.
Those things are precious because of the amount of foul smelling kids.
You're envious of them, right? They go home since the sun is setting.
Yeah.
I wish I have a house too.
But then, those... their houses are not theirs, it's the bank's.
In professional terms, house poor. They are beggars with houses.
Ahhh. They're beggars.
Of course. They are bank beggars.
Look at their shoulders, it's all slouched. It's
because of paying the debts from the banks.
That's why Heo Joon Jae was talking about money all they time.
When you look at it, we are richer than them. At least we don't have debts.
The only things we worry about are three things,
Cold air, warmth, hunger.
Why would they throw this?
But then, how do you earn money?
Money?
Should I... make you touch one?
You can just give this out to people.
Look, the weather is cold so you see all the people have their hands on their coats.
The goal is to make them take those hands out.
Look at me.
The wrist snap is important.
Let's say they don't receive it, you don't have to be hurt.
Just withdraw it.
The back and forth, it's difficult if it exceeds two seconds.
And if it's hard and people don't accept it, you can give several copies to one person.
If you just spread it out on the streets, look at the 10 o'clock direction.
10 o'clock. 10 o'clock.
The chief is watching.
See that? Here.
Do well. I will be going now.
You're not going to earn money?
If only for an insulated box to block the chill
and a crust of bread to fill the hunger...
I don't earn such things as money.
I will earn money!
I will earn and give it to Heo Joon Jae who loves money so much!
Oh jeez.
I was wondering where she went. What is she doing here?
That dummy!
Young lady. Are you the tide, ebbing and flowing?
Why are you just going back and forth?
I won't give you money at this rate.
I won't give you money!
As if.
That!
You're working hard. You're the parking maintenance, right?
I want to make a report.
Hey! Ahjussi!
Here! Here!
Ahjussi!
- There's a hand! - Noona, give me some flyers.
Noona, give me a flyer.
The sauna flyer.
Oh! Me too.
One more. Please give me one more.
Me too.
That's right.
I got two.
Hey, I told you it's 1000 won even for two flyers.
- If you want to earn 2000 won go and get more. - Really?
Hurry up!
I said that I'd only accept the ones for the sauna.
Hurry up and go. Look at you trying to be smart.
Hurry and go. You need to go to the computer cafe.
You are working hard on this cold weather.
Eat this.
And also this.
Work hard.
- Is that the woman you're marrying? - No.
She's your first love!
I said no.
What do you mean no?
Fighting!
It was his first love.
Excuse me.
It maybe rude from the start but you are my style.
Perhaps, can you give me your number?
Do you have a cellphone?
Ahh, cellphone.
- Hey! Shim Cheong! - Heo Joon Jae!
I forgot to tell you something. If someone asks
for your number you can never give it, okay?
- Understand? - Why?
What do you mean why? Those guys are bad guys.
You're good at biting, right?
Those kind of guys, if they linger around you, just bite them.
I'm sorry.
Heo Joon Jae, where are you?
Me? I am very far from you.
Heo Joon Jae! Heo Joon Jae!
- Heo Joon Jae! - Oh, it's you.
You were here?
Yeah. But Heo Joon Jae, why did you come?
Did you come to see me?
Have I gone mad? I was just passing by...
Weren't you the one following me?
I didn't. I really didn't.
Well, even if Seoul is big, it's just within the palm of the hand.
If you go around, you could meet a person you know.
You can meet coincidentally.
Then we can also meet coincidentally again?
I'm not sure. We'll have to wait and see.
Anyway, I will be going since I'm busy.
Heo Joon Jae!
Hey! Don't call my name out loud like that.
Heo Joon Jae. I'm here earning money.
I will earn a lot and give it all to you.
2780 will have a lawyer's office coming in.
So we are still negotiating it. After we set the conditions, I will tell you then.
Right. You would surely take care of it.
You'll be going home, right?
No. I have an appointment.
But why are you dressed so coldly? Dress warmly.
Aigoo.
Father.
Joon Jae... you miss him, right?
The weather is getting cold, I am also curious about him and want to see him.
It's about time he came home.
Should I try and look for him?
Never mind. How would you.
Alright, the truth is
I'm looking into things because Head of Department Nam ordered me to.
Still, I'm grateful that you were worried.
No, that's a given, but father
I think it'd be best to not tell mother that you're looking for Joon Jae.
- Why? - Just because.
Just because.
Pure Firing Kiln
You're wearing a hat again?
She recognizes me.
Rain continues to fall, with a heavy falling in the Seoul, Kyeonggi countryside region.
This rainfall will be affected by the cold air in the
atmosphere which means snow will be falling quite soon.
It will be the first snow in the Seoul region. You can
safely expect extreme traffic jams during rush hours.
♫ I think when you see my flushed face ♫
♫like a boy whose heart is racing ♫
♫ you are going to catch on. While I am flustered ♫
♫ I'm secretly stealing looks at your face. ♫
♫ Your hair fluttering in the wind ♫
♫ Your eyes shiny as a new knife ♫
♫Your appearance fresh as the dew ♫
♫ are the things ♫
Unnie, what are you doing here again? ♫ I think of everytime I fall asleep ♫
You're not waiting here to take money from kids again, right?
No! I'm earning money!
But, is this the first snow?
Well, it's the first time today so it is the first snow.
What's so good about snow, it just blocks off streets.
I have to get to Namsan quick, what do I do?
You're going to meet Heo Joon Jae?
How did you know?
You just said so, that you were going to meet Heo Joon Jae.
You heard that? People seemed like they couldn't hear my real voice!
I don't know what you're talking about
but anyway, if you have money take a taxi.
If you don't, then take the bus.
Okay, thanks. See you again!
UP! Your math grades
♫ Other than you who are as beautiful as the radiant sun ♫
♫ For me now there isn't anything more I want but ♫
Ahh so annoying. ♫If you say you love me ♫
I mean, why are all the annoying things happening ever since that dummy appeared?
♫ I think you will leave me while smiling ♫
♫ Other than you who are as beautiful as the radiant sun ♫
♫ For me now there isn't anything more I want but ♫
If you have something to say there's the phone, there's texting
Telling people to come and go, geez.
She better tell me something good.
Oh! Why's she so fast?!
♫ If you say you love me ♫
♫ I think you will leave me while smiling. ♫
♫ Like a fragile glass piece ♫
♫ Why is everything happy so insecure? ♫
Heo Joon Jae, wait for me!
♫ If you say you love me ♫
♫ I think you will leave me with a smile. ♫
♫ You who are beautiful as the radiant sun ♫
♫ The dark sorrow and shade make my heart heavy. ♫
Where is she?
