Pepper! Look after our home.
Gosh, are you okay?
It's nothing special, but here.
We moved in downstairs.
This looks very special! And delicious.
Thank you so much.
Well, there's one other thing.
I wouldn't normally say this,
but I keep hearing loud noises
in the middle of the night.
It's been a whole week.
Monday to Sunday. I
couldn't take it anymore.
I'd hear screaming too.
Screaming?
Oh, you meant last
night! That was, uh...
Anyway, it won't happen again.
I'm very sorry.
- Please be more considerate.
- Of course.
"Please be more considerate"?
It was one time last night!
- But guess what she said?
- What?
"I heard loud noises all week."
"One full week," she said.
Monday to Sunday!
People love to exaggerate.
Tell me about it!
- Ms. Executive!
- Mr. Oscar Winner!
Yes.
Good.
You must be exhausted!
So exhausted.
You did good, come here.
Wait a minute.
Does that mean the old man
downstairs moved out?
Yup, he's gone.
No wonder it was so quiet.
That dude was something else.
- Don't even start.
- Really something else!
"You two must really
love each other, huh?"
"I can hear it every night!"
Stop it.
"Squeak! Squeak!
Keeps me up all night!"
Cut it out!
The new woman is no pony ride, either.
I didn't even open this.
It would be admitting defeat.
Screw it.
"Someone's inside?" Who's inside?
How should I know?
That's what you said last night.
"Someone's inside,"
but in the calmest voice.
Then you went back to sleep.
No way.
How could you abandon
your wife like that?
It's the baby bump, isn't it?
You think I'm ugly now!
What? That's nonsense!
That's enough sugar for one day.
I can't help it!
Don't cry.
Wait, "Someone's inside?"
"Someone's inside!" That's my line!
What scene was that again?
Look, you're on!
I can't watch...
I'm so cringey!
- Mom.
- You look so cool!
I look like an idiot.
- I'll be right outside.
- Stay.
You look great as a bodyguard.
You look great in every role.
In a strong tone: 'Someone's
inside the building'
'Someone's inside the building.'
Honey, are you asleep?
Yeah...
Do you still love me even
though I'm bloated and ugly?
Yeah...
Why? There are plenty of
pretty actresses on set, right?
Yeah...
Stop it.
Sleep.
Hey! Stop!
Wake up, sweetie.
Call time.
Wakey wakey.
Wake up...
Hey...
What is it?
- Hurry, hurry.
- What in the world...
Let's go to the ER first.
Let's get this treated!
I'm late. I have to go.
The hospital first!
I'll call you later.
Hyun-su!
- This looks fine.
- No way!
I'm off!
Come back here!
Pepper!
Pepper!
Pepper! Come here!
Come here, boy.
What are you doing there?
Pepper! Pepper?

What are you doing in the dark?
Hi.
Sorry, Pepper.
Let me see.
They couldn't hide it with makeup?
I can't believe they
scrapped your role!
This would've healed up in no time.
I know, right?
Listen...
I'm thinking of giving up.
Give up what?
This doesn't look that hard.
Becoming A Real Estate Agent
Honey! No one makes
it right off the bat.
I'm telling you, you're doing great.
I've never seen a
better actor than you.
Stop saying that.
You're going to make it.
And you'll make those
punks regret what they did.
- Stop it.
- You stop it.

Honey!
Hyun-su?
Wait, don't! Stop it!
Wait, don't! Stop it!
What's gotten into you?!
Hyun-su.
Hey!
No!
Soo-jin! What's wrong?
Are you okay?
- Were you going to jump?
- What?
I told you not to worry!
What's going on...
It's okay, don't cry.
Go to the hospital
first thing tomorrow.
You hear me?
I did, I heard you.
You'll go?
Yes, of course.
Don't worry, I'll go.
Wait...
Which doctor should I see?
Mom.
Stop making a fuss.
What a hassle.

This is no laughing matter.
Glue this under the bed.
Forget it!
Do you know how much this costs?!
You've ruined it!
Stop wasting money on this stuff!
You've never benefited from it.
- I did so!
- When?
Did your house value go
up? Did dad come back?
I can't believe you did this!
So this is why you came over.
Whoa, this is no joke.
Honey, come here.
- Forget it.
- Come on!
So cool.
Damn...
Cheese.
Please get ready to sleep.
- Okay, sorry.
- Yes, I'll go now.
See you tomorrow.
This graph shows...
your body's inner workings
while you were asleep.
When it displays this pattern,
it indicates "REM
sleep behavior disorder."
This occurs when neurons are
in a state of chemical imbalance.
It may sound complicated,
but it's quite common.
It could lead to sleep-talking,
or acting out your dreams,
like scratching your face
or swinging your limbs.
If you go one step further,
as you can see here,
you could sleepwalk,
or even eat from the fridge.
It's exactly the same.
Right?
Is this REM disorder treatable?
Yes.
Treatment
The first thing you need to do...
is make your home as safe as possible.
It's to prevent any injuries
from potential sleepwalking.
What's more important is
correcting your lifestyle habits.
It's to prevent sleepwalking
from ever happening.
No alcohol!
Alcohol may induce
severe sleep disorders,
so you must quit immediately.
We should've done this earlier.
How dare you drink when I can't...
And if possible,
sleep before 10 p.m..
Yes, I called to talk to you about...
the night shoot on the 5th.
I won't be able to do night shoots,
due to some health issues.
It can't be helped, no.
I'm very sorry.
Also, you can keep the
bedroom dark and cool,
and refrain from using
electronics before bed.
But what's most important
is taking the right medication.
It'll take a while for
symptoms to improve.
But if you're patient and
stick with these instructions,
you will get better in time.
Pepper!
Pepper...
Chapter 2
If you think about
it, it's not his fault.
He didn't do it on purpose.
Hate the sin, not the sinner?
What are you, a nun?
It's not even a sin. It's a disease.
It's grounds for divorce is what it is.
Are you listening to yourself?
It's for your happiness.
I raised you without your dad,
- and you grew up fine.
- He's getting treated.
It'll be okay.
Getting treated won't solve a thing.
Don't worry.
We've thought it through.
We have a plan.
If medicine doesn't work,
he needs divine intervention.
Eat.
Call me when you get home.
Think about what I said.
All right, go inside.
- We'll get going then.
- I'll call you.
Ha-yoon, let's go home.
Let's go home, let's go home.
It's okay, sweetie.
Listen, Soo-jin.
This is a nearby inn. I
checked it out a few days ago.
The building's new and
has a private bathroom.
$450 a month,
and five minutes from
here. Isn't it great?
What about it?
I should sleep outside for a while.
No way.
I'm nervous about staying at home.
This is an easy solution.
Marriage is about
tackling problems together.
We're not a dysfunctional family.
It's not like that...
You know why it's easy?
Because it's giving up.
A couple should
never give up like that.
How is this giving up?
It's giving up.
Careful, careful.
Ha-yoon, this is our home!
- Should I leave this here?
- Yeah.
Step one.
The bell's purpose is
to wake the guardian.
When the bell rings,
gently lead the patient back to bed.
Is it loud enough?
Gently lead the patient back to bed.
Oh my god...
Step two!
Wow, I can't move an inch.
Lie down, you must be tired.
- Good afternoon.
- Good afternoon, ma'am.
Hello.
Oh, hello!
Say hello, Jin-hyuk.
She's our upstairs neighbor.
- The noisy couple?
- Hey!
Hello.
We adopted a puppy.
My boy loved your Pomeranian,
So, we got one too.
Oh my, you delivered!
Congratulations, you must be exhausted.
When I had my son...

Did you take your pill?
Yeah...
Did you?
Hyun-su?
It's okay, mommy's here.
My family is my happiness
Doctor, according to my research...
a lot of people got better
by taking Imicrophem.
So, I was wondering if I could
change my prescription.
It's too early to change medication
or judge its effectiveness.
Imicrophem is a potent drug,
and should only be
used as a last resort.
Let's give it some time.
Doctor,
last night I slept in the bathtub.
We followed all your instructions...
I understand your frustration.
REM sleep behavior disorder is still...
But he's not improving at all.
I can't guarantee when
or if your symptoms
will be cured, but...
- What?!
- But
this treatment is based on
procedures proven most effective.
So he could be like this forever?!
Every patient responds to
treatment differently, so...
- Are you okay, doctor?
- My head...
- I'm so sorry.
- Give me a moment.
Goddamn crook...
Phony piece of crap...
What do we do?
- She's crying.
- What do we do now!
Listen to this.
"Imicrophem has a higher cure rate
for sleepwalking symptoms."
See? It says so right here.
So don't worry, and
let me figure this out.
I'll find a way,
no matter what.
You can't smoke here.
Having a rough time?
We've been noisy again,
haven't we? I'm sorry.
It's not your fault.
Marriage is not a big deal.
If you can't make it work,
give up anytime.
So cold...
Come inside.
But...
Good night.

Say Goodbye to REM Disorder!
Say hello to Madame Haegoong.
This is my daughter
and my son-in-law.
Ghosts latch on to you
while you're asleep.
The soul becomes more vulnerable,
and they exploit this to
sneak into your body.
It's okay, don't cry.
You're living with two men, I see.
The ghost haunts your husband,
but you brought him in.
He followed you here.
Who?
The ghost? Why?
You're young and pretty, why else?
Ghosts are like people,
they're pathetic.
Do you have any itchy spots?
What are you doing?
You're waking the baby!
Do something!
What's wrong with you?!
Stop that!
No more barking dogs...
No more crying babies...
Let me live in peace.
Just you and I.
If you don't get rid of him,
that's exactly what will happen.
See? I told you to call her!
To exorcise him, I
need to know his name.
Name?
Got anyone in mind?
That's hard to believe.
I bet you broke a few
hearts back in the day.
Think hard, I need a name.
Two in the bedroom,
one in the living room.
Here.
Hide them well.
What the hell?
Be ready.
I'll be back to get you.
Here.
I'm off.
- Take care.
- Bye.
Jesus...
Did she scare you, Ha-yoon?
You like your bath time, huh?
Almost done, hold on.
Our princess is doing so well!

Honey?
I'm so sleepy...
What if...
Yeah...
What if she's right?
What if who's right?
What if it's a ghost?
I can't believe you're
falling for that.
I'm not! It's just a thought exercise.
What if there is a ghost?
What if there is a ghost...
You're living with two men, I see.
Be serious!
- Let's say the ghost exists.
- It totally exists.
- Right.
- Sure.
Who could it be?
How should I know?
Wait, maybe it's him. You know...
That guy you dated before me,
what was his name again?
No, they're all alive.
I looked them up.
You looked them up?
Wait a minute...
This isn't a "thought exercise."
Forget it, go to sleep.
Yes, please forget it and go to sleep.
It really is loud.
He always nagged us for
it, the old man downstairs.
No, he nagged me, you
don't know the half of it.
"Shut your goddamn dog!
I can't fucking sleep!"
"That thing's in heat!
Rub one out for the guy."
He liked you.
Too much.
I wonder how he's doing.
Who is it?
Oh, good morning!
Great, you're home.
What's this?
Some leftover puppy
treats, nothing special.
They're very special!
Thanks, I love it!
Would you like to come
inside? A cup of coffee?
Okay...
Make yourself at home.
Jin-hyuk, come say hello!
Coffee?
No, I'm okay.
Choi Jin-hyuk!
Then water?
Sure...
Say hello to our neighbor.
- Good morning.
- Hi.
Take Andrew with you.
- Uh...
- Yes?
An older man lived here
before you moved in.
Do you know him?
Why do you ask?
Why would you know him, right?
He is my dad.
Annoying, wasn't he?
He was very difficult.
I hope he didn't harass you.
What? No, no, no.
Is he still alive?
Excuse me?
I mean, is he doing well?
Grandpa's dead.
Right here.
Choi Jin-hyuk! What
a rude thing to say!
Where are your manners?
What was your father's name?
Park Choon-ki
Hyun-su.
Mr. Park.
Yeah.
Is it really you?
Are you going to kill my daughter?
Are you?!
I don't know.
No more barking dogs,
no more crying babies...
Let me live in peace, just you and I.
No more barking dogs,
no more crying babies...
Let me live in peace, just you and I.
Soo-jin! I'm up, open the door, please!
Got something in my hair?
What's this doing under the bed?
You ripped it off?!
I just... Mom made me do it.
Since then,
I've been up all night
watching you sleep.
But you didn't wake up once.
You were up all night? Watching me?
I think this really works.
Soo-jin, go to bed.
I'll put it back, get some sleep.
Why don't you ever listen to me?
- Okay, okay!
- It's not okay!
You're going to hurt yourself!
- There you go, here.
- Okay, okay.
Lie down and sleep.
Oh no, Ha-yoon, hush now.
Hyun-su.
Hey!
Where's Ha-yoon?
Ha-yoon!
That was a big poop, wasn't it?
I think mommy woke up.
Up already? You should get more sleep.
Are you okay? Leave it, leave it!
I'll clean it up, okay?
What's going on? Are you okay?
Why are you holding this?!
Jesus Christ!
Here, don't move!
What do you want from me?
You want to sleep with me, is that it?
What?
Do it! I don't care!
Stop it, Soo-jin.
Ow, that hurts!
So spit it out!
You're driving me crazy!
Soo-jin...
I got a call from the
doctor this morning.
He's going to change my prescription.
I'll get better, I promise.
No, stop!
Why are you doing this to me?!
I'm going crazy, too! Please just stop!
Chapter 3
If we compare these two graphs...
In the past, these areas here...
were very irregular.
Many abnormalities
during the REM stage.
But now, everything has normalized.
Have you noticed any
irregularities while sleeping?
No, not after changing the meds.
Thanks to this.
You're as good as cured.
Pat yourself on the back.
It's all thanks to you
for putting up with us.
How is your wife doing?
Well, she's been hospitalized
for some time now.
I hope it's nothing serious.
No, she's much better now,
she's being discharged today.
So that's why you checked yourself in.
You may be at ease now.
Thank you.

She's on the discharge
list, one moment, please.
She was in her room last night.
Did they check B wing?
Check again.
No answer.
The caller you are
dialing is not available...
Don't worry too much.
- I'll keep calling her.
- Okay.
Please take care of
Ha-yoon one more night.
Sure thing, get going.
See you soon, Ha-yoon. Good night.
The caller you are
dialing is not available...
You're home.
Why are you so late?
Come sit down.
What is this?
Shocking, right?
Have a seat.
Are these for me?
Just sit and listen.
What the hell is going on?
Five minutes, give me five minutes.
Now, look.
Soo-jin.
I'm all cured.
I understand, just hear me out.
Do you know what the doctor said today?
My brainwaves are fine.
- Please.
- It's all over now!
What more is there to say?
That's what I'm trying to tell you!
Tell me what? That I'm possessed?
That I'm possessed by a ghost?
What's the matter with you?!
This isn't happening...
Ghosts aren't a big deal.
A soul must ascend
within 10 days of death.
Otherwise, they become a ghost.
Listen to me!
Okay, all right.
October 25th
A few months ago, our
neighbor complained
about the noises she heard all week.
That was October 25th.
So, if we take a week from that...
It means your "episodes"
started on the 18th.
Now, check this out.
Death Certificate: Park Choon-ki
The old man downstairs
died on October 8th.
Where did you get this?
If you don't ascend in 10
days, you become a ghost!
He died on October 8th.
Plus ten days equals the 18th!
Your episodes began
the day he became a ghost.
Someone's inside
On October 25th,
you said, "someone's inside."
I told you that was
a line from the script!
The line was "someone's
inside the building."
You said, "someone's inside."
You're saying a ghost entered my body?
Exactly!
Also! When a person is possessed,
they scratch themselves,
because they itch like crazy.
And guess what
possessed people do first?
They devour food to regain energy.
And what do they love to eat?
This!
You're a textbook case.
Now, what do they do
after regaining energy?
They avenge their grudge.
What grudge would the
old man hold against us?
This!
And this!
You should know better than anyone!
Okay.
I hear you, so stop it.
Do you understand now?
Tell me, do you believe me?
Or should I go back to the loony bin?
Soo-jin, look.
I don't think it's important
whether I believe you.
Because...
I really am cured.
Which means
the "ghost" left!
The problem is solved.
What's that?
The 49th Day Exorcism.
The 49th day of the old man's death.
Performed right here while you slept.
Is that me?
Yes.
You're crazy.
Jung Soo-jin, you're crazy!
You really are insane!
Wait a minute.
The exorcism!
You performed the exorcism!
There's nothing more to do!
No.
The old man refused to ascend.
He's refusing to leave.
What?
No, no, he didn't refuse.
He's gone, honey.
Whether it's the exorcism or
the new pills, I'm all better.
The doctor said so himself,
I had no incidents for a month!
It's all over.
Please believe me, Soo-jin!
When branded with a sutra,
ghosts cannot enter you for 50 days.
I can't even understand you anymore.
This is why you had no incidents.
That protected our daughter...
Until yesterday.
Yesterday was the 50th day,
so he should be back inside you today.
Move aside.
Did you hear me? It
was until yesterday.
Listen carefully.
A ghost cannot ascend
100 days after death.
He'll wander our world forever!
We'll have to live
like this until we die!
He wants me, and only me!
No more barking dogs,
no more crying babies!
He's going to kill our baby!
Today is the 100th day since his death.
If we don't ward him off by today...
If we don't get rid of him,
that's exactly what will happen!
Do you understand now?!
Stop, I can't do this anymore.
If all you do is run,
why even bother with that?
You said marriage is about
tackling problems together.
But now what?
You can't do this? You want to leave?
If you're going to walk out
whenever things get tough...
why did you make that
and hang it on the wall?
Together We Can Overcome Anything
What do I have to do?
Listen carefully.
Okay.
What?
We're even now.
You thought I'd just take it?
I can go all the way too.
What is that?
Hey, hey!
What are you doing?!
Who is that?!
Now, will you leave?!
Jin-hyuk! Jin-hyuk! Where are you?!
Help me!
Please, please, untie me.
Wait, wait, wait!
I'll do it, I'll do it!
Please, I'll do it...
Dad, dad, please help...
What?
Please just leave.
Or she'll kill me.
She'll kill me and then Jin-hyuk!
And Andrew...
I think Andrew is already dead...
Dad, don't bother these
people, and just go.
I'll visit your grave all the time.
I'll bring your grandson
too, I promise.
Dad! Dad!
Listen carefully.
My daughter, Ha-yoon.
If she's hurt in any way,
even if it's not your fault,
whether she trips on the
street or catches a cold,
I will murder your
daughter and grandson.
So, answer me.
What?
Say it.
Tell me you'll leave!
I'll go.
I'll go!
Building security! Open up, please!
Mom! Are you there?!
Let go!
What is the matter with you?
Why are you doing this?!
Hyun-su?
What about the old man?
All right.
All right, you crazy wench.
I'll leave.
Sweetheart.
I'm leaving.
Say goodbye to your boy for me.
And move out of this place.
Too many lunatics.
What do you see in this bozo?
Let's go!
He's gone.
He's really gone.
Soo-jin, it's all over.
See?
We can overcome anything.

Pepper! Look after our home.
Gosh, are you okay?
It's nothing special, but here.
We moved in downstairs.
This looks very special! And delicious.
Thank you so much.
Well, there's one other thing.
I wouldn't normally say this,
but I keep hearing loud noises
in the middle of the night.
It's been a whole week.
Monday to Sunday. I
couldn't take it anymore.
I'd hear screaming too.
Screaming?
Oh, you meant last
night! That was, uh...
Anyway, it won't happen again.
I'm very sorry.
- Please be more considerate.
- Of course.
"Please be more considerate"?
It was one time last night!
- But guess what she said?
- What?
"I heard loud noises all week."
"One full week," she said.
Monday to Sunday!
People love to exaggerate.
Tell me about it!
- Ms. Executive!
- Mr. Oscar Winner!
Yes.
Good.
You must be exhausted!
So exhausted.
You did good, come here.
Wait a minute.
Does that mean the old man
downstairs moved out?
Yup, he's gone.
No wonder it was so quiet.
That dude was something else.
- Don't even start.
- Really something else!
"You two must really
love each other, huh?"
"I can hear it every night!"
Stop it.
"Squeak! Squeak!
Keeps me up all night!"
Cut it out!
The new woman is no pony ride, either.
I didn't even open this.
It would be admitting defeat.
Screw it.
"Someone's inside?" Who's inside?
How should I know?
That's what you said last night.
"Someone's inside,"
but in the calmest voice.
Then you went back to sleep.
No way.
How could you abandon
your wife like that?
It's the baby bump, isn't it?
You think I'm ugly now!
What? That's nonsense!
That's enough sugar for one day.
I can't help it!
Don't cry.
Wait, "Someone's inside?"
"Someone's inside!" That's my line!
What scene was that again?
Look, you're on!
I can't watch...
I'm so cringey!
- Mom.
- You look so cool!
I look like an idiot.
- I'll be right outside.
- Stay.
You look great as a bodyguard.
You look great in every role.
In a strong tone: 'Someone's
inside the building'
'Someone's inside the building.'
Honey, are you asleep?
Yeah...
Do you still love me even
though I'm bloated and ugly?
Yeah...
Why? There are plenty of

Yeah...
Stop it.

Hey! Stop!
Wake up, sweetie.

Wake up...
Hey...
What is it?
- Hurry, hurry.
- What in the world...
Let's go to the ER first.
Let's get this treated!
I'm late. I have to go.
The hospital first!
I'll call you later.

Give up what?
This doesn't look that hard.

I'm telling you, you're doing great.

What's gotten into you?!
Hyun-su.
Hey!
No!

Are you okay?
- Were you going to jump?
- What?
I told you not to worry!
What's going on...
It's okay, don't cry.
Go to the hospital

You hear me?
I did, I heard you.
You'll go?
Yes, of course.
Don't worry, I'll go.

I can't believe you did this!
So this is why you came over.
Whoa, this is no joke.
Honey, come here.
- Forget it.
- Come on!
So cool.
Damn...
Cheese.
Please get ready to sleep.
- Okay, sorry.
- Yes, I'll go now.
See you tomorrow.
This graph shows...
your body's inner workings
while you were asleep.
When it displays this pattern,
it indicates "REM
sleep behavior disorder."
This occurs when neurons are
in a state of chemical imbalance.
It may sound complicated,
but it's quite common.
It could lead to sleep-talking,
or acting out your dreams,
like scratching your face
or swinging your limbs.
If you go one step further,
as you can see here,
you could sleepwalk,
or even eat from the fridge.
It's exactly the same.
Right?
Is this REM disorder treatable?
Yes.
Treatment
The first thing you need to do...
is make your home as safe as possible.
It's to prevent any injuries
from potential sleepwalking.
What's more important is
correcting your lifestyle habits.
It's to prevent sleepwalking
from ever happening.
No alcohol!
Alcohol may induce
severe sleep disorders,
so you must quit immediately.
We should've done this earlier.
How dare you drink when I can't...
And if possible,
sleep before 10 p.m..
Yes, I called to talk to you about...
the night shoot on the 5th.
I won't be able to do night shoots,
due to some health issues.
It can't be helped, no.
I'm very sorry.
Also, you can keep the
bedroom dark and cool,
and refrain from using
electronics before bed.
But what's most important
is taking the right medication.
It'll take a while for
symptoms to improve.
But if you're patient and
stick with these instructions,
you will get better in time.
Pepper!

Chapter 2
If you think about
it, it's not his fault.
He didn't do it on purpose.
Hate the sin, not the sinner?
What are you, a nun?
It's not even a sin. It's a disease.
It's grounds for divorce is what it is.
Are you listening to yourself?
It's for your happiness.
I raised you without your dad,
- and you grew up fine.
- He's getting treated.
It'll be okay.
Getting treated won't solve a thing.
Don't worry.
We've thought it through.
We have a plan.
If medicine doesn't work,
he needs divine intervention.
Eat.
Call me when you get home.
Think about what I said.
All right, go inside.
- We'll get going then.
- I'll call you.
Ha-yoon, let's go home.
Let's go home, let's go home.
It's okay, sweetie.
Listen, Soo-jin.
This is a nearby inn. I
checked it out a few days ago.
The building's new and
has a private bathroom.
$450 a month,
and five minutes from
here. Isn't it great?
What about it?
I should sleep outside for a while.
No way.
I'm nervous about staying at home.
This is an easy solution.
Marriage is about
tackling problems together.
We're not a dysfunctional family.
It's not like that...
You know why it's easy?
Because it's giving up.
A couple should
never give up like that.
How is this giving up?
It's giving up.
Careful, careful.
Ha-yoon, this is our home!
- Should I leave this here?
- Yeah.
Step one.
The bell's purpose is
to wake the guardian.
When the bell rings,
gently lead the patient back to bed.
Is it loud enough?
Gently lead the patient back to bed.
Oh my god...
Step two!
Wow, I can't move an inch.
Lie down, you must be tired.
- Good afternoon.
- Good afternoon, ma'am.
Hello.
Oh, hello!
Say hello, Jin-hyuk.
She's our upstairs neighbor.
- The noisy couple?
- Hey!
Hello.
We adopted a puppy.
My boy loved your Pomeranian,
So, we got one too.
Oh my, you delivered!
Congratulations, you must be exhausted.

My family is my happiness
Doctor, according to my research...
a lot of people got better
by taking Imicrophem.
So, I was wondering if I could
change my prescription.
It's too early to change medication
or judge its effectiveness.
Imicrophem is a potent drug,
and should only be
used as a last resort.
Let's give it some time.
Doctor,
last night I slept in the bathtub.
We followed all your instructions...
I understand your frustration.
REM sleep behavior disorder is still...
But he's not improving at all.
I can't guarantee when
or if your symptoms
will be cured, but...
- What?!
- But
this treatment is based on
procedures proven most effective.
So he could be like this forever?!
Every patient responds to
treatment differently, so...
- Are you okay, doctor?
- My head...
- I'm so sorry.
- Give me a moment.
Goddamn crook...
Phony piece of crap...
What do we do?
- She's crying.
- What do we do now!
Listen to this.
"Imicrophem has a higher cure rate
for sleepwalking symptoms."
See? It says so right here.
So don't worry, and
let me figure this out.
I'll find a way,
no matter what.
You can't smoke here.
Having a rough time?
We've been noisy again,
haven't we? I'm sorry.
It's not your fault.
Marriage is not a big deal.
If you can't make it work,
give up anytime.
So cold...
Come inside.
But...
Good night.

Say Goodbye to REM Disorder!
Say hello to Madame Haegoong.
This is my daughter
and my son-in-law.
Ghosts latch on to you
while you're asleep.
The soul becomes more vulnerable,
and they exploit this to
sneak into your body.
It's okay, don't cry.
You're living with two men, I see.
The ghost haunts your husband,
but you brought him in.
He followed you here.
Who?
The ghost? Why?
You're young and pretty, why else?
Ghosts are like people,
they're pathetic.
Do you have any itchy spots?
What are you doing?
You're waking the baby!
Do something!
What's wrong with you?!
Stop that!
No more barking dogs...
No more crying babies...
Let me live in peace.
Just you and I.
If you don't get rid of him,
that's exactly what will happen.
See? I told you to call her!
To exorcise him, I
need to know his name.
Name?
Got anyone in mind?
That's hard to believe.
I bet you broke a few
hearts back in the day.
Think hard, I need a name.
Two in the bedroom,
one in the living room.
Here.
Hide them well.
What the hell?
Be ready.
I'll be back to get you.
Here.
I'm off.
- Take care.
- Bye.
Jesus...
Did she scare you, Ha-yoon?
You like your bath time, huh?
Almost done, hold on.
Our princess is doing so well!

Honey?
I'm so sleepy...
What if...
Yeah...
What if she's right?
What if who's right?
What if it's a ghost?
I can't believe you're
falling for that.
I'm not! It's just a thought exercise.
What if there is a ghost?
What if there is a ghost...
You're living with two men, I see.
Be serious!
- Let's say the ghost exists.
- It totally exists.
- Right.
- Sure.
Who could it be?
How should I know?
Wait, maybe it's him. You know...
That guy you dated before me,
what was his name again?
No, they're all alive.
I looked them up.
You looked them up?
Wait a minute...
This isn't a "thought exercise."
Forget it, go to sleep.
Yes, please forget it and go to sleep.
It really is loud.
He always nagged us for
it, the old man downstairs.
No, he nagged me, you
don't know the half of it.
"Shut your goddamn dog!
I can't fucking sleep!"
"That thing's in heat!
Rub one out for the guy."
He liked you.
Too much.
I wonder how he's doing.
Who is it?
Oh, good morning!
Great, you're home.
What's this?
Some leftover puppy
treats, nothing special.
They're very special!
Thanks, I love it!
Would you like to come
inside? A cup of coffee?
Okay...
Make yourself at home.
Jin-hyuk, come say hello!
Coffee?
No, I'm okay.
Choi Jin-hyuk!
Then water?
Sure...
Say hello to our neighbor.
- Good morning.
- Hi.
Take Andrew with you.
- Uh...
- Yes?
An older man lived here
before you moved in.
Do you know him?
Why do you ask?
Why would you know him, right?
He is my dad.
Annoying, wasn't he?
He was very difficult.
I hope he didn't harass you.
What? No, no, no.
Is he still alive?
Excuse me?
I mean, is he doing well?
Grandpa's dead.
Right here.
Choi Jin-hyuk! What
a rude thing to say!
Where are your manners?
What was your father's name?
Park Choon-ki
Hyun-su.
Mr. Park.
Yeah.
Is it really you?
Are you going to kill my daughter?
Are you?!
I don't know.
No more barking dogs,
no more crying babies...
Let me live in peace, just you and I.
No more barking dogs,
no more crying babies...
Let me live in peace, just you and I.
Soo-jin! I'm up, open the door, please!
Got something in my hair?
What's this doing under the bed?
You ripped it off?!
I just... Mom made me do it.
Since then,
I've been up all night
watching you sleep.
But you didn't wake up once.
You were up all night? Watching me?
I think this really works.
Soo-jin, go to bed.
I'll put it back, get some sleep.
Why don't you ever listen to me?
- Okay, okay!
- It's not okay!
You're going to hurt yourself!
- There you go, here.
- Okay, okay.
Lie down and sleep.
Oh no, Ha-yoon, hush now.
Hyun-su.
Hey!
Where's Ha-yoon?
Ha-yoon!
That was a big poop, wasn't it?
I think mommy woke up.
Up already? You should get more sleep.
Are you okay? Leave it, leave it!
I'll clean it up, okay?
What's going on? Are you okay?
Why are you holding this?!
Jesus Christ!
Here, don't move!
What do you want from me?
You want to sleep with me, is that it?
What?
Do it! I don't care!
Stop it, Soo-jin.
Ow, that hurts!
So spit it out!
You're driving me crazy!
Soo-jin...
I got a call from the
doctor this morning.
He's going to change my prescription.
I'll get better, I promise.
No, stop!
Why are you doing this to me?!
I'm going crazy, too! Please just stop!
Chapter 3
If we compare these two graphs...
In the past, these areas here...
were very irregular.
Many abnormalities
during the REM stage.
But now, everything has normalized.
Have you noticed any
irregularities while sleeping?
No, not after changing the meds.
Thanks to this.
You're as good as cured.
Pat yourself on the back.
It's all thanks to you
for putting up with us.
How is your wife doing?
Well, she's been hospitalized
for some time now.
I hope it's nothing serious.
No, she's much better now,
she's being discharged today.
So that's why you checked yourself in.
You may be at ease now.
Thank you.

She's on the discharge
list, one moment, please.
She was in her room last night.
Did they check B wing?
Check again.
No answer.
The caller you are
dialing is not available...
Don't worry too much.
- I'll keep calling her.
- Okay.
Please take care of
Ha-yoon one more night.
Sure thing, get going.
See you soon, Ha-yoon. Good night.
The caller you are
dialing is not available...
You're home.
Why are you so late?
Come sit down.
What is this?
Shocking, right?
Have a seat.
Are these for me?
Just sit and listen.
What the hell is going on?
Five minutes, give me five minutes.
Now, look.
Soo-jin.
I'm all cured.
I understand, just hear me out.
Do you know what the doctor said today?
My brainwaves are fine.
- Please.
- It's all over now!
What more is there to say?
That's what I'm trying to tell you!
Tell me what? That I'm possessed?
That I'm possessed by a ghost?
What's the matter with you?!
This isn't happening...
Ghosts aren't a big deal.
A soul must ascend
within 10 days of death.
Otherwise, they become a ghost.
Listen to me!
Okay, all right.
October 25th
A few months ago, our
neighbor complained
about the noises she heard all week.
That was October 25th.
So, if we take a week from that...
It means your "episodes"
started on the 18th.
Now, check this out.
Death Certificate: Park Choon-ki
The old man downstairs
died on October 8th.
Where did you get this?
If you don't ascend in 10
days, you become a ghost!
He died on October 8th.
Plus ten days equals the 18th!
Your episodes began
the day he became a ghost.
Someone's inside
On October 25th,
you said, "someone's inside."
I told you that was
a line from the script!
The line was "someone's
inside the building."
You said, "someone's inside."
You're saying a ghost entered my body?
Exactly!
Also! When a person is possessed,
they scratch themselves,
because they itch like crazy.
And guess what
possessed people do first?
They devour food to regain energy.
And what do they love to eat?
This!
You're a textbook case.
Now, what do they do
after regaining energy?
They avenge their grudge.
What grudge would the
old man hold against us?
This!
And this!
You should know better than anyone!
Okay.
I hear you, so stop it.
Do you understand now?
Tell me, do you believe me?
Or should I go back to the loony bin?
Soo-jin, look.
I don't think it's important
whether I believe you.
Because...
I really am cured.
Which means
the "ghost" left!
The problem is solved.
What's that?
The 49th Day Exorcism.
The 49th day of the old man's death.
Performed right here while you slept.
Is that me?
Yes.
You're crazy.
Jung Soo-jin, you're crazy!
You really are insane!
Wait a minute.
The exorcism!
You performed the exorcism!
There's nothing more to do!
No.
The old man refused to ascend.
He's refusing to leave.
What?
No, no, he didn't refuse.
He's gone, honey.
Whether it's the exorcism or
the new pills, I'm all better.
The doctor said so himself,
I had no incidents for a month!
It's all over.
Please believe me, Soo-jin!
When branded with a sutra,
ghosts cannot enter you for 50 days.
I can't even understand you anymore.
This is why you had no incidents.
That protected our daughter...
Until yesterday.
Yesterday was the 50th day,
so he should be back inside you today.
Move aside.
Did you hear me? It
was until yesterday.
Listen carefully.
A ghost cannot ascend
100 days after death.
He'll wander our world forever!
We'll have to live
like this until we die!
He wants me, and only me!
No more barking dogs,
no more crying babies!
He's going to kill our baby!
Today is the 100th day since his death.
If we don't ward him off by today...
If we don't get rid of him,
that's exactly what will happen!
Do you understand now?!
Stop, I can't do this anymore.
If all you do is run,
why even bother with that?
You said marriage is about
tackling problems together.
But now what?
You can't do this? You want to leave?
If you're going to walk out
whenever things get tough...
why did you make that
and hang it on the wall?
Together We Can Overcome Anything
What do I have to do?
Listen carefully.
Okay.
What?
We're even now.
You thought I'd just take it?
I can go all the way too.
What is that?
Hey, hey!
What are you doing?!
Who is that?!
Now, will you leave?!
Jin-hyuk! Jin-hyuk! Where are you?!
Help me!
Please, please, untie me.
Wait, wait, wait!
I'll do it, I'll do it!
Please, I'll do it...
Dad, dad, please help...
What?
Please just leave.
Or she'll kill me.
She'll kill me and then Jin-hyuk!
And Andrew...
I think Andrew is already dead...
Dad, don't bother these
people, and just go.
I'll visit your grave all the time.
I'll bring your grandson
too, I promise.
Dad! Dad!
Listen carefully.
My daughter, Ha-yoon.
If she's hurt in any way,
even if it's not your fault,
whether she trips on the
street or catches a cold,
I will murder your
daughter and grandson.
So, answer me.
What?
Say it.
Tell me you'll leave!
I'll go.
I'll go!
Building security! Open up, please!
Mom! Are you there?!
Let go!
What is the matter with you?
Why are you doing this?!
Hyun-su?
What about the old man?
All right.
All right, you crazy wench.
I'll leave.
Sweetheart.
I'm leaving.
Say goodbye to your boy for me.
And move out of this place.
Too many lunatics.
What do you see in this bozo?
Let's go!
He's gone.
He's really gone.
Soo-jin, it's all over.
See?
We can overcome anything.
