You.
When did you die?
I am still alive.
No!
You are an evil spirit who died
more than a century ago.
Stop lingering in this world.
You don't belong among the living!
I told you I am not dead!
Stop!
Leave the young girl's body!
Leave her body!
Mom. Please help me.
Help me. Mom!
You're going to kill my daughter!
Lady! You'd better brace yourself.
We must end it here!
Stop!
Mom!
Leave her body, you evil spirit!
Leave her body, you evil spirit!
Go away!
Dissipate!
Forever!
Oh, my.
Mr. Shaman!
Mr. Shaman!
(Episode 1)
Sir, are you all right?
What happened to her granddaughter?
She took a long nap. When she woke up,
she finished a whole bowl of rice.
I am glad
that I was able to save one more
before my time is up.
Thanks to you,
so many people got their lives back.
I don't deserve the credit.
It was all possible because
the General looked out for us.
He's coming.
Who's coming?
My grandson, Cha Woong.
He will come to serve the General.
You should come out now.
- Oh, no! What if he can't untie it?
- Hey.
Oh, no.
- Come out already.
- Oh, no.
Come out now.
Me?
- What? My hairpin.
- How did he do that?
- What's going on?
- How did he do that?
- Cha Cha Woong!
- Cha Cha Woong!
- Cha Cha Woong!
- Cha Cha Woong!
- Cha Cha Woong!
- Cha Cha Woong!
Can you all believe it?
You must be trying to figure out
my trick in your heads.
Tricksters and magicians.
There's a fine line between them.
Would you like to find it yourself?
If you can figure out
even one of my magic tricks,
I will
give you full refunds for your tickets.
Not just full refunds.
But ten times the ticket price.
Keep your eyes open
and try to figure out my tricks.
Cha Cha Woong's Magic Show.
It begins now.
- You seduced my boyfriend!
- No. It's a misunderstanding.
- A misunderstanding, my foot.
- Help me.
You seduced my boyfriend.
Her boyfriend dumped her.
She must be in shock.
- What?
- Can you stop her?
He didn't dump me. You stole him from me!
No violence, please.
My goodness.
There must be a misunderstanding.
Why don't you talk it out?
Gosh. Let go of my arm!
Come on. Get your hand off me!
It's not a misunderstanding!
He's been avoiding me ever
since we had a meal with her.
I knew it. You were smiling
at him so sweetly that day.
Did you smile sweetly at him?
No. My eyes are half-moon-shaped by nature.
Look. People get the wrong idea
that I'm flirting with them.
And being cute isn't my fault, right?
She's lost it. Do you have a death wish?
Oh, no!
- Goodness. I mean
- Seul Hae.
- What do you think you're doing?
- Well
Get me a towel. Oh, no! I need a towel!
Stop!
Both of you, sit down.
Or I'll arrest you
for obstruction of justice.
Thank you.
All right. Let me sum it up.
You don't have any hard evidence.
But based on your suspicions,
you jumped to conclusions, right?
Gosh. I just lost it.
I'm sorry.
(Police)
Hey, we've been friends for ten years.
How could I ever do something like that?
Right. I can tell that
you two are best friends.
And you two recently went
to Jeju Island, right?
Jeju Island?
Well, it comes with the job. You know?
I'm good at picking things up.
This is the tissue you gave me.
And you took out yours from your bag.
Didn't you get them during your trip?
(Jeju Island)
(Jeju Island)
How
Gosh, this is nothing
to be surprised about.
Being observant is the first step
in any investigation.
This pack of tissues
was in my boyfriend's car
when he broke up with me.
- You!
- Gosh.
Did you even go to Jeju Island
with my boyfriend?
Fine. I did. So what?
He asked me to go with him!
What? How dare you?
- You should've kept an eye on him.
- How could you do that to me?
- He flirted with me first!
- How could you?
- Why you little
- Stop it.
- He asked me out first! So what?
- How could you do that?
- What do you want?
- Wait.
- Get your hands off me.
- Stop it!
Darn it. Those ladies sure know
how to make it sting.
You had it coming.
- You were asking for it, right?
- Pardon?
He probably means to say
you have a way of causing trouble.
You could have just kicked them
out of the coffee shop.
Why did you have to get involved?
What was the point of
listening to their sob story?
Why did you make it worse
than it already was?
Sir.
(Document for Approval)
You know why the police's
mascot has big ears, right?
It means that we are supposed
to listen to people's stories
with our big ears.
I only did what I was obligated
to as a police officer.
Goodness. If you try to fulfill
your obligation one more time,
you will end up getting me fired.
You said you wanted to become a detective.
Could you hurry up?
Of course. I'll become a detective.
I'll make sure of it.
- I already put in my request.
- You little
Everyone knows how competent Officer Ko is.
I'm not sure if the
Detective Division can handle her.
If the Detective Division doesn't take you,
come up with a fake culprit.
Drag him there if you have to.
You do that because your
presence here is killing me.
I'm done for the day.
- Bye, sir.
- Bye, sir.
Hey, what did you say?
- Nothing.
- Bye, sir.
Hey, do we not have
a Band-Aid at the station?
Put a Band-Aid on it.
So your pretty face doesn't get a scar.
Yes, sir.
If you end up with a scar,
ask those girls
to pay for the plastic surgery treatment.
Yes, sir.
Salute!
Mr. Cha. I think we should
skip the next performance.
- What?
- There's a problem
with the arrow shooting machine.
The timing is a bit off.
Are you out of your mind?
That's the highlight of the show.
But if it goes wrong,
the show might end really badly.
Just do your job.
A Reum. You need to stay focused.
I could have died if you were
three seconds late earlier.
Chief Nam. Your stomach is bulging a bit.
Don't breathe starting now.
Director Ma
What?
Your back can hurt a bit.
It won't kill you. Just man up.
"There's no law saying that you should?"
There is.
Didn't you know?
I am the law here.
Did anyone figure out the secret
behind my tricks?
Then here's your last chance.
While I ride the motorcycle
around the stage,
you can shoot these arrows at me.
Simple, isn't it?
Is there anyone who would like to try?
He'll volunteer.
You'll volunteer?
- That's a real arrow.
- It's real?
- Gosh.
- Really?
Come on. This is a real arrow!
You murderer!
- Are you all right?
- Are you seriously asking me that?
I almost died.
It's
showtime.
(Pharmacy)
Officer Ko?
Hey, Min Ho.
I can tell that you had a case today.
If you're on your way home.
I can drop you off.
Anyone who doesn't wear a helmet
will get a 20,000 won fine.
Gosh. An off-duty police officer
is still a police officer, right?
I'm even scared to offer a ride.
You must feel safe
when your neighbour is a police officer.
Why would you be scared?
Right. You must have a lot of work.
You've been coming home late.
I started delivering food at night.
I need to make money.
I'll be a dad soon.
Right!
- She's almost due, right?
- Yes.
Do you need any baby stuff?
- Gosh, no.
- But still.
My purse!
Min Ho, let me borrow that for a second.
Hey, wait.
Be careful!
You're dead meat.
Gosh. I'm so nervous.
Here I go.
It's the last one.
He shouldn't press it like that.
(Lightning Courier)
Hey! Stop right there!
Hey! Darn it.
Stop right there!
- Mr. Cha!
- Is he really shot?
Are you all right, Mr. Cha?
- Cha Woong.
- Take off his helmet first.
- Where is he?
- What?
Do you still think I'm a trickster?
Or do you acknowledge me
as the best magician on earth?
I am among you.
Excuse me. Coming through. I'm sorry.
Can't you see me?
There you are.
Everyone.
- There he is.
- I got you!
What?
You
I'm right here.
Where do you think you're going?
- Cha Cha Woong!
- Cha Cha Woong!
- Cha Cha Woong!
- Cha Cha Woong!
- Let go of me. Are you crazy?
- Come here.
Who are you? What are you doing?
Get your hands off me.
- Cha Cha Woong!
- Cha Cha Woong!
(Ko Seul Hae, National Police Agency)
Officer Ko Seul Hae
of Kangguk Police Substation.
I'm really sorry about what happened.
But there's a man who
stole a woman's purse.
We must seal off the building
and question the people
How much did this man allegedly steal?
I'll give you the money.
Don't cause a scene. Leave quietly.
How could you say that to a police officer?
I'm not here to get the money back,
but to achieve justice in society.
I see. To achieve justice in society.
How much is that now?
The money the audience paid
for my show, the rental fee I paid,
the stage installation fee,
and the marketing fee.
Does that trump everything?
Yes!
What?
Let's see how much you're willing to pay.
My show has been stopped
for 7 minutes and 30 seconds.
If you don't get out in 30 seconds,
I'll sue you
to compensate for the damage
incurred from your action.
You have 27 seconds, 26 seconds,
- Twenty-five seconds
- Are you threatening me?
I'll calculate the damage by the second.
My hourly rate is pretty high.
- You have 16 seconds, 15 seconds
- Wait.
I'll get out. Fine. I'm leaving.
We finished inspecting the auditorium.
We didn't find any suspicious individuals.
Right. That's what I thought.
I'm
I'm here to get my helmet.
You have 2 seconds,
and now 1 second.
You're being cheap.
She totally rocked the boat.
You jerk!
Darn it.
Goodness!
Excuse me?
Hey.
Excuse me?
You!
So you're the one who witnessed,
chased, and dragged him here,
but you didn't beat him up?
I thought I had lost him,
but when I returned, he was
Stop spouting nonsense.
He's beaten to a pulp,
but you're telling me nobody did it?
Detective, you know I did judo, right?
My specialities are
the shoulder throw
and inner reaping throw.
And my killer move is
the rear stomach throw.
Anyone I take down will fall backward,
so their skull will crack open,
not their face.
You're back, Seul Hae?
Hee Soo.
Didn't you mention
something cracked just now?
Yes, the skull.
The skull?
I meant the head will take the blow.
What? Did you hurt your head?
How?
Do you feel dizzy or anything?
What's that scar on your forehead?
Well
I might be feeling a bit dizzy.
It's this guy that got hurt,
not Officer Ko.
What's weird is that he doesn't know
how he got into that state.
Anyway, you had it tough.
And Detective Byun? Is he on outside duty?
No.
Detective Byun.
You do know I want to be
a congressman, right?
Of course.
With your leadership,
you must work nationwide,
not only in Kangguk-Gu.
But
compared to the congressmen
in the National Assembly,
I have a low profile.
Even though I devoted my life to this job,
not a single person remembers my name.
It must be because you're
such a humble person.
So you've heard of self-promotion, right?
I decided to do that.
What do you mean by promotion?
(Chief Seo Chang Ho)
Those are strong rich
people in the district.
Get them together.
(Personnel information)
How does a civil police unit sound?
We should make use of their expertise.
A civil police unit?
- That's a great idea.
- Right?
Recruiting voters through
outside activities
and taking photos for the media.
I'll organize a meeting tonight, Chief Seo.
I mean, Assemblyman Seo.
("God of Magic" Show Proposal)
The TV show is called "God of Magic".
It's a survival competition
with several magicians.
You're late.
KBM, NHC,
ABD TV, Conan TV,
Webflix,
and many more.
These are business cards
I received from producers today.
And yours
I'll return it.
Bye then.
Mr. Cha, our show is different
from the others.
How so?
We're miles more desperate than them.
What are you doing, sir?
Hurry up and get on your knees.
Others are holiday special episodes
or simple guest star appearances,
but our show specializes in magic.
You'll be on it every week.
I'm not that cheap to appear
as a regular anymore.
As you know,
I'm on another level.
Right, another level.
We'll comply with your needs.
I'll pay as much as you ask even
if the company goes bankrupt.
Lee Eun Gyeol and Cha Cha Woong,
the rivals of the century.
Please reconsider it.
Did Lee Eun Gyeol agree to be on the show?
Gosh, then I can't possibly turn it down.
It's a lot.
The community welfare center gave it to us.
I'm sorry for being incompetent.
I couldn't even buy you a gift
for our wedding anniversary today.
Forget about it.
Raising Sa Rang will cost a lot,
so we have to save up.
I'm okay.
Gosh, you say such sweet words.
Sa Rang.
Oh, my! Look at you two love birds!
You two look so lovely!
Did you catch the mugger?
Yes, thanks to you.
Your bike is tanked up and parked.
- Here it is.
- That's great news.
This isn't mine.
No way.
Mine has a dashcam on it.
Maybe it got switched somewhere.
That means
I'm
I'm here to get my helmet.
You now have 1 second.
Cha Cha Woong?
It probably happened
at Cha Cha Woong's show place.
I'll be right back.
But will he still be there?
How about you visit his house?
Cha Cha Woong, the famous magician,
lives in our neighbourhood.
It's that big house beyond the playground.
What? Who put this on the helmet?
I'm in charge of electronic equipment.
Isn't this a black box?
I haven't seen it before.
A black box?
Mr. Cha, that jerk. I can't believe this.
What about him?
Can't you tell?
He installed this to keep an eye on us.
Nonsense. The camera can't even catch us.
Even if it doesn't, Mr. Cha can tell
if you're working or not
by the things moving.
You're right.
Then we should keep working.
Let's finish before he gets here.
Chief Nam, we're employees, not slaves.
We may be dead but he's
making us work like horses.
He gets all the glory
when we do all the hard work.
And he's got that height.
Carrying him strains both
my shoulders and back.
How will I get married
without any stamina left?
He's right. I'm a ghost, not MacGyver.
How can I open it within five seconds?
As a stand-in for Mr. Cha,
I have to work wearing shoe inserts,
and they're as heavy as bricks.
My legs tremble and my whole
body aches after the show.
Driving ghosts hard with money.
What a cruel world.
Darn it!
- Gosh.
- Hey.
We need a labour union for ghosts.
A labour union?
Does our company need one?
I don't get it.
Do you think it's easy to find a boss
who speaks the same language as you?
What other companies
put a ghost's aptitude and
specialty to full use like ours?
None, of course!
Plus, you only work for 8 hours a day,
5 days a week,
and I support your living family
and you entering Nirvana.
Other ghosts are dying
to get into this company.
If a ghost labour union is formed,
it'd be more than just that.
It'd be a noble labour union.
You little
Hey, stop!
Stop chatting and wrap things up.
The security company is coming soon.
Are you locking this place up again?
Once the shoot starts,
you never know what the rivals will do.
Our conversation and practices.
If it gets recorded by a dashcam
or something and goes public,
Cha Cha Woong, god of magic,
will go down as a
ghost-seeing crook in no time.
- Are you going to be on that show?
- Of course.
Lee Eun Gyeol.
I'll crush you for sure this time.
Fingerprint, voice, and iris recognition.
Double, triple,
and even quadruple the security.
So not even a single bug can get in.
Okay.
Hello?
Yes, that's me.
What?
What is it? Did something happen?
Tell us. What's going on?
My grandfather passed away.
What? You have a family?
Hurry up and go.
(Authorized personnel only)
He's your family after all,
so you should bid him farewell.
I agree. From my experience,
those who don't come to
one's funeral are heartless.
Those punks.
"Cha Cha Woong's Magic Factory."
Yes, this is the place.
- I'll be back.
- Be careful.
Okay.
Excuse me!
No one's inside. You can't go in.
I'm from Kangguk Police Department.
My helmet was switched with Mr. Cha's.
I'm here to return it.
I see. Go in then.
- Thank you.
- Sure.
(Lightning Courier)
Gosh, what a place.
That human dicer!
I saw it on TV.
It's scary.
There it is.
- Thank you.
- No problem.
You must be late because of me. I'm sorry.
Don't worry.
It's all good since we found it.
That reminds me,
isn't today your wedding anniversary?
You should get off work early.
But I bet it'll end late.
So I'm going to buy a cake on my way home.
A cake. Good idea.
- Enjoy the party.
- I will.
Now then, why don't we make a toast?
For a successful civil police unit!
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
- Good.
- Here.
Having the leaders
of Kangguk-Gu gathered
in one place feels so reassuring.
Gosh, stop it.
You helped us plenty with our business.
We would have had to close down
if you had gone on about legal stuff
like the previous chiefs.
He's totally right.
What we have to do is get the stage ready.
In other words, do something
that'll make you look good.
You know it.
Should I bring together
all my guys tomorrow?
What I love
is your enthusiasm.
You have a guest.
- Excuse me.
- Cheers.
Right, you're here.
He's my son.
Captain of Detective Division Team One
at Kangguk Police Department.
Why did you call for me?
They're owners of big businesses
in our district.
Greet them.
All right.
- I'm Seo Hee Soo.
- My gosh, Captain Seo.
I'm Kang Dal Soo. I run a junkyard.
We'll see each other a lot from now on.
I shouldn't. I drove here.
I'll take my leave.
- Yes, let's have a glass.
- Sure.
- Here, cheers.
- Cheers.
Seul Hae!
It's Hee Soo.
Are those to celebrate
catching the purse snatcher?
Oh, yes, with Na Eun.
I heard you caught him
on your way home from work.
Yes, I guess I can easily catch
a snatcher or two on my way home.
The detective division must really want me.
Are you that desperate?
Of course, it's my dream job.
But you shouldn't have
attacked him without any gear.
You made me worry.
- You were worried about me?
- Yes, obviously.
My dad feels guilty about what happened
to your dad even now.
It'd break my heart
if you got hurt as well.
I see. Okay.
I'm sorry. I'll be careful.
Always have your gear with you.
Protecting ourselves is also our duty.
Yes, understood.
- Let's go. Buckle up.
- Okay.
(Condolences)
Why tag along? It won't take long.
Take as much time as you can.
We're going to stuff ourselves off
of the ancestral rites table.
Is it really okay to leave right
after paying your respects?
It'll feel empty without the chief mourner.
No, listen.
Why did you do that? Goodness.
- Hey.
- Welcome.
- Here, dig in.
- Thanks.
Gosh.
- My goodness.
- Who are you?
Your grandfather must have
been a virtuous man.
- My gosh, that's enough.
- Come on.
- Goodness.
- Stop.
My gosh, for real?
- Hey, over here.
- Okay.
What?
What are you all doing?
The General Spirit's pupil is here.
Where are your manners?
Good evening.
This is the very reason
I didn't want to come.
Cha Woong,
it's Granny Geum Ok from Okhwa House.
Why are you so late?
Mr. Shaman!
After the exorcism,
my son recovered completely.
His hearing is back to normal,
and he doesn't talk gibberish now.
Words can't express how grateful I am.
I'm glad.
Please take this back and
make rice cakes for your son.
That jerk is finally back home.
It's all thanks to your talisman.
We feel light-hearted
after our consultation.
I didn't do it for the money.
Please take good care of each other
and live a happy life.
Thank you, Mr. Shaman!
I'm home.
Grandfather?
Is he not back yet?
Last night, the police rescued
the woman who could have been
the fifth victim of the
culprit who only murders
during the full moon,
also known as the Full Moon Murderer.
However, the detective in charge
lost his life in the process.
The police rushed to the scene
and caught the shaman
who interrupted the arrest.
The police are investigating
whether he's an accomplice
- of the Full Moon Murderer.
- Grandfather?
All he did was sell useless talismans.
He must think he got something good
from that notorious Full Moon Murderer.
We should just burn this house down.
He's an embarrassment to the whole town.
That quack shaman brought it on himself.
He kept going on about my son
being possessed by a ghost
and tried to extort money from me.
- That's right.
- That fraud.
Take this!
My grandfather isn't a quack shaman.
He got the spirit out of you.
And what? A cult fanatic?
Didn't your husband come back home
with my grandfather's talisman?
You punk!
- A spirit in this day and age?
- Cheating?
- Watch your mouth.
- He's spouting nonsense.
- Get lost.
- That's his grandson for sure.
- He's so brazen.
- You saw that, right?
- I really can't
- This is embarrassing.
I feel bad for myself
- for getting scammed.
- I know, right?
Goodness.
Cha Woong, why are you here?
What about school?
Why did you do it?
I'm sorry, Cha Woong.
But I had to catch him at all costs.
And how will you do that?
Not even the police can catch him,
so how will you?
Are you eating well?
Ask the neighbours
for some side dishes and
The neighbours?
Do you even know what they're saying?
They're calling you a quack shaman,
a fraud, and a cult fanatic.
I can't live in this town anymore.
No, Cha Woong!
You must protect the shrine.
No.
I won't live like you, Grandfather.
No matter how much you help others,
they will only respect you
when they need you.
Nobody helps when you need it
or believes in you.
So why should I follow in your footsteps?
Are you crazy?
Are you a fool?
It's all because of my incompetence.
I missed him when he was
right in front of me.
If only I caught him
What a fool.
Even until his last breath,
he was worried about you.
So he worried about someone else
until the very end.
What a fool.
You're not just someone else.
He was the nation's best male shaman.
And you're his only living family.
It's time for you to serve the General.
Why would I become a shaman?
Watch your mouth!
He had a great life
helping people.
They backstabbed him in the end!
I learned from him that
sacrificing myself for others
is the hardest thing in the world!
I told myself that day.
I will never trust
nor help humans.
It's for the funeral.
This will be more than enough.
- Nice.
- Good job.
Well done.
Pyeonyuk is the best dish at funerals.
Dip it in the salted shrimp.
Korean ghosts get energy from food.
Eat a lot when you can.
I prefer street food.
Can't they put ramyeon or tteokbokki
on the ancestral rites tables?
Take this first.
Let's go. Get up.
- What? Already?
- Let's move.
You can sit here.
Oh my. Look how tall he is.
He looks perfect.
Grandma. Why is the
chief mourner leaving already?
Should I go stop him?
Leave him be.
He was born to serve a spirit.
He can't avoid it nor run away.
The General will visit him.
(Cookie Cheesecake)
(Injeolmi Cake)
(White Foret Noire)
There you go.
- Bye.
- Thank you.
Dear Yu Jin.
I wanted to get your favourite cake.
I could only buy cornet bread. I'm sorry.
We may be struggling now,
but let's do our best to be
wonderful parents for Sa Rang.
Mr. Cha. Can you slow down?
I died in a car accident. I have a trauma.
Gosh.
Wait a minute.
What's this? It wasn't here earlier.
Is that food? Open it.
What is it?
It's raw rice.
- Rice?
- That's a spirit pot.
Someone from the mourner's house
put that in the car.
A spirit pot?
Isn't that for serving the ancestor spirit?
Darn it.
Why did she put that thing
in my car without telling me?
She knows that thing
could bring me bad luck.
Throw that out now.
Mr. Cha. You can't just throw this away.
You have to recycle it.
Don't waste it.
Give it to me. I'll cook it.
- No.
- Give it to me. I'll throw it out.
Mr. Cha. A human ahead!
Gosh.
(Clothing Bin)
- Darn it.
- Hey.
- Chief Nam. Do you see anything?
- Darn it.
(Clothing Bin)
Do you see me?
- Oh, my goodness.
- Oh, dear.
He's a ghost.
I thought you were a human.
He's dead.
Hang on.
Did I kill you?
No. The accident happened earlier.
Then why did you show up
in front of my car?
What are you going to do
about the headlight?
I'm sorry. I just died.
I'm still trying to figure things out.
I'm glad to meet people who can see me.
It's quite a relief.
That's unfortunate.
What happened? You're still young.
What's the point of asking?
They all have the same story.
Help me. Please.
It's my wedding anniversary today.
I couldn't give her cornet bread.
My daughter will be born soon.
What am I supposed to do?
Refer to the experts.
Talk to a shaman about it.
There's nothing I can do for you. Bye.
I feel bad for you.
Don't feel too bitter.
Wait
He followed us here.
He must be really frustrated.
You should listen to his story,
or he'll follow you everywhere.
Did he say he would bring us money?
- Well
- No, he can't.
So stop being nosy.
I hate getting involved with humans.
But you live with us.
Since Chief Nam is swift and a good driver,
he's the best stand-in.
Director Ma is strong.
A Reum, the engineering major,
is good with machines.
You're my minimum opportunity cost
to achieve my dream.
I see.
So, you're saying we're necessary evil?
"Necessary evil".
Oh, yes. I like that expression.
It's simple and clear.
That's perfect.
Your description is offensive,
but it's easy to understand.
- Goodnight then.
- Goodnight.
Well done today.
Gosh.
Necessary evil, my foot.
He can make a living thanks to us.
Don't you agree, Chief Nam?
Well, you're right.
Don't stay quiet.
You should lecture him as an elder.
What else can I do?
If we complain to our boss,
he'll only cut down our salary.
Consider him as our elder
since he pays us and let it go.
Gosh. When will he grow up?
Look how big his picture is.
Look at ours. They're so tiny.
What else can we do about it?
He's our necessary evil too.
I'm going to bed.
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
You'll see.
I'll smack his lips before I enter Nirvana.
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
(Kang A Reum, Nam Sang Gun, Ma Dong Chul)
What a jerk.
(Kang A Reum, Nam Sang Gun, Ma Dong Chul)
So? He gave you a ride home?
Yes. He was worried about me.
I guess he finally sees me as a woman.
- What?
- It's funny.
Let's be honest.
He would never see you as a woman.
Think about what you were like
when you lived at his house
back in high school?
You always had a bowl cut
and wore sweatsuits every day
to work out, smelling like sweat.
You were like a wild beast.
- I'll kill you. I bought that!
- Hey.
Besides, Chief Seo is like your father.
He would consider you as a real sister.
That could be true.
Gosh. That's so annoying. Come here.
Hey.
Hey. It's the landlord.
- The landlord?
- Yes. Cha Cha Woong.
He owns the café building.
- That timer guy?
- Yes.
Why do you call him "timer guy"?
I had to ask him for cooperation today.
He said his time is precious.
He was like,
"You have 2 seconds and 1 second".
He was so annoying.
He's full of himself,
but he seems nice and gentle.
Gentle?
Gentle, my foot.
Haven't you met real gentlemen?
How can you say he's gentle?
It upsets me to see him. Turn it off.
(Kang A Reum, Nam Sang Gun, Ma Dong Chul)
It's breakfast time.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
Let's eat.
I'm so sick of bread.
I miss what I had yesterday at the funeral.
I miss the seasoned skate from yesterday.
Sir.
I think it'd be more reasonable
to separate your meals and ours
considering the differences in tastes.
Reasonable? Sounds good.
A Reum. Reasonably speaking,
ghosts don't need to eat.
They don't digest food.
They simply taste it.
Therefore, as the only
human of this company,
who consumes nutrients
for physical activities,
I will decide on the menu.
So don't bother to eat
if you don't like it.
For some reason, I never get sick of it.
We use our strength to lift things
during the performances.
Who gave you that strength?
You are
nothing but an empty
cellphone with no data.
Because I'm sharing my energy
with you like Wi-Fi,
you can grab objects, let them go,
and pass through them.
Without me,
you would've been dragged away
by the Grim Reaper already.
It's all written in your
employment contracts.
You seem to keep forgetting it. How tiring.
That mouth of his, I'm so sick of it.
Let's just enjoy it.
Thank you for the food.
We're going to work overtime
for "God of Magic", so eat up.
Also, strengthen security
in the broadcasting station.
Is that why you installed a dashcam?
It's a magic prop, slash portable CCTV.
What dashcam?
Don't act like you don't know.
You installed a camera
on the helmet to watch us.
What?
What's this?
There's nothing here. Are you sure?
It was right here. Where did it go?
Could it be the security company engineer?
- Where did it go?
- It was right here.
Yes.
- Hello?
- This is Cha Cha Woong.
Did anyone come in here yesterday?
- Yes, a cop.
- What?
Why did you let someone in while I was out?
Even if it's a cop!
I am sorry.
Darn it.
I knew I had a bad feeling
about her from the start.
She didn't touch anything else.
Let it slide. She took what was hers.
That's not the problem.
It captured us talking and practicing.
What if someone sees it?
(Police)
(Integrity is our highest value.)
Let's go.
Seul Hae. Why did you
bring so many weapons?
Oh, that.
I made a promise to a guy.
That I won't wound this fragile body
until I become his.
I guess he's not a cop.
He's not aware of the
Hulk of Kangguk Police Substation.
I've been too nice to you, haven't I?
I'll teach you how to show respect!
You punk
Timer guy?
Where's the helmet?
I put it back on the shelf in your
rehearsal studio. Didn't you see it?
Not mine, yours. The one with the dashcam.
- Why?
- I was filmed on that.
I need to delete it. Give it to me now.
Is there something that
shouldn't be filmed?
That's why you should always behave.
It filmed me preparing for my performance.
My business secret has been leaked.
Oh, that super expensive performance
that you charge by the second?
Too bad. I don't have it.
No?
Why? How come?
Did you sell it off already?
Who? Lee Eun Gyeol? Choi Hyun Woo?
- A broadcasting station?
- What are you talking about?
I borrowed it from my neighbour.
So I gave it back to him.
The footage will be erased
if there's no issue. What's the fuss?
What if there is?
If it gets leaked,
will you take responsibility?
Will you take responsibility
for my entire life?
What responsibility?
Okay! I'll find it for you.
Before that
What?
You were driving with a broken headlight.
You've violated the traffic law.
You'll be fined.
- Officer Ko.
- It was an unfortunate accident.
Yes?
A body has been found in the back hills.
Wait.
I'll get it for you.
Hey.
- Give it to me.
- Okay.
What's he doing?
I saw something that looked like clothes
on my way down.
And it turned out it really was a man.
- Are you sure?
- I am!
It was a young man.
Where did you find him?
It was somewhere Oh, gosh. I don't know.
I was so shocked.
I don't even know how I got here.
You should come with us.
Where is she going?
Nothing here.
Nothing here, either!
- Stop.
- Give it to me.
You followed me here?
I said I'll get it for you later.
It has to be now. That's why I'm here.
The number of the helmet owner.
Give it to me now.
Fine. Okay!
I'll call him now!
Nothing here.
Min Ho.
I'm sorry. I just died.
I'm still trying to figure things out.
I'm glad to meet people who can see me.
It's quite a relief.
Min Ho.
You don't have time for this.
We need to find the helmet first.
All my business secrets are on there.
Hey. Are you out of your mind?
A man is dead, and what? A helmet?
You freaking moron.
Keep it down.
If the other officers find it first,
they'll check the dashcam right away.
I must find it before anyone else does.
- The dashcam.
- Yes, the dashcam. The
That girl
The estimated time of death
is 24:00 last night.
I think the accident occurred
while he was on a delivery.
If he was driving a bike,
perhaps he was wearing a helmet.
Could be.
Then was he abandoned after a hit and run?
Captain Seo. It's the helmet.
He had a dashcam on his helmet.
It probably recorded
the scene of the accident.
What? How do you know?
He was my neighbour.
I borrowed his bike
when I arrested the snatcher.
Is that so?
Detective Ma. See if there's a helmet
in this area with the support team.
Yes, sir.
Are you nuts? Why would you tell them?
Oh, it's the magician, Cha Cha Woong!
- What are you doing here?
- Be quiet.
You've been hanging around.
Oh, because
I was just out hiking.
I was checking to see if anything happened.
Can't you see? It says keep out.
Get out of here now.
Oh, okay.
You should go down. This area is dangerous.
- Okay.
- Take him with you.
Hurry up.
- Bye.
- What does he think he's doing?
Bye.
Gosh. This is crazy.
She's been causing unnecessary
trouble since yesterday.
I feel bad for him.
It's sad enough that he's dead,
and he's abandoned in the mountains.
I know. You should've
listened to him yesterday.
Pull yourselves together!
This is no time to worry about him.
If the police find the helmet before us,
we're done for.
Why don't we take this chance
to change our line of business?
A ghost show will be
better than a magic show.
So? Are you expecting us
to find the helmet now?
We work for the magic show company,
not a private detective agency.
We're about to shut down.
You're about to lose your jobs!
- Lose our jobs?
- Lose our jobs?
Chief Nam.
You said you won't enter Nirvana
once your daughter
graduates from university.
Then you have to make a lot of money
for her studies,
enrolment fees, and tuition.
Director Ma.
You should get married before this year.
No succubus would even look at you
if a former thug is now unemployed.
A Reum. You said you were sad
since you studied until you died.
You said you want to play games
as much as you want.
Can you upgrade your character
without any money these days?
Life is all about money.
Why can't you see the reality!
- My daughter.
- My wedding night.
The guild war is next week.
- What do you want me to do?
- What do you want me to do?
First, let's find the helmet owner.
Min Ho.
Honey.
What are you doing here?
Get up already.
Seul Hae. This isn't right.
It's all a dream, right?
Yu Jin.
The baby
Brace yourself for Sa Rang.
Oh, my baby.
I'm sorry.
This is ridiculous.
Min Ho.
Min Ho. Look at me.
Min Ho. Wake up.
Min Ho. You can't leave
on our wedding anniversary!
How can you leave me and Sa Rang behind?
Where is he?
What's he doing?
Chief Nam. Did you find anything?
Nothing. No.
- A cake.
- What cake?
Yes.
He said he was going to buy a cake
for his wedding anniversary.
If we investigate the bakeries
between his last delivery and his house,
we'll be able to find where
the accident occurred.
What if it occurred before
he went to buy the cake?
This is why you can't make it
to the Detective Division.
Stop acting up and
return to the substation.
Cake, my foot.
Oh, my goodness.
What are you doing here?
What kind of inappropriate
question is that?
Why else would I go to the bakery?
To buy bread.
But you're not carrying any bread.
Maybe they didn't have
what I was looking for.
Besides, why are you
talking casually to me?
Since when did we get so close?
There are three groups
to whom I talk casually.
Children. Culprits.
And freaking morons.
Think about which group you belong to.
Is she saying
I'm a child?
Did he buy a cake last night?
No one bought a cake last night.
I see.
Was there an accident nearby?
The man who just left
asked the same question.
The same question?
He asked if I remember a man
who bought cornet bread last night
and if he lives around here.
Cornet bread?
Thank you for your cooperation.
Where did he go?
Wait.
You can't take that.
(Lightning Courier)
Where did he go?
Even a ghost is not around when I need it.
A Reum. I find that offensive.
That's probably because he
compared us to dog turds.
What? Mr. Cha. How can you say that?
How can you say that
in front of dead people?
- You're behind me!
- What?
Mr. Cha can see ghosts.
He knows death is not the end.
So death doesn't mean anything to him.
Don't get upset over nothing.
That's true.
He's rude to everyone whether
they're dead or alive.
- He's very fair.
- A Reum. You still shouldn't
Chief Nam. Stop trying to suck up to him.
Be quiet and look for the ghost.
You're so distracting.
But it's true.
I don't see him.
Maybe he's still lingering
around our house.
He was there until late last night.
That makes sense, Mr. Cha.
Let's go home.
(Seul Hae)
Seul Hae.
Manna Bakery?
Okay. Well done.
Officer Ko found the victim's bike
near Manna Bakery.
Let's go.
(Dear Yu Jin.
I wanted to get your favourite cake.)
(I could only buy cornet bread. I'm sorry.)
Was there an accident nearby?
He asked if I remember a man who
bought cornet bread last night
and if he lives around here.
Cornet bread?
Cornet bread.
You were driving with a broken headlight.
You've violated the traffic law.
You'll be fined.
It was you.
Cha Cha Woong.
Where on earth is he?
What are you doing?
That's
It was you. You're the culprit.
What?
This.
It's a broken piece of a headlight
found at the scene of a hit and run.
It fits your broken headlight.
There was a minor accident last night,
but are you saying
that proves I'm the culprit?
Last night, you hit a man
and abandoned his body.
While you were doing that,
you lost the helmet.
Along with the dashcam
that recorded the accident.
What you're trying to delete is
not your business secret,
but the scene of the accident.
You're jumping too fast to the conclusion.
Too fast?
Then how about this?
Cornet bread.
You asked the bakery clerk
about the man who bought
cornet bread specifically.
Only three people know that
Min Ho bought cornet bread.
Min Ho, who wrote this card,
me, who picked up this card,
and the culprit.
That's because
- Help me.
- A Reum.
I don't get what's going on.
Can you explain?
Checkmate. Trapped. Game over.
Arrested.
She's taking out her handcuffs.
Cha Cha Woong.
You're under arrest
for drunken hit and run
and abandonment of a dead body.
You have the right to remain silent.
You have the right to an attorney.
Wait.
- Let's move.
- Gosh.
All right. I'll explain.
I can't tell you here. Let's go inside.
Don't move!
- Not us.
- She can't see us.
You can give that lame excuse in court.
- You should listen
- I said, don't move!
Gosh.
Stop her.
Oh, my.
Stop it.
What's wrong with this?
Why
What's going on?
Oh, she's strong.
That wasn't me.
What did you just do?
I said I would explain.
What just happened? What was that!
So,
that was
a ghost.
A ghost.
(From Now On, Showtime!)
- A deal?
- I was worried about you.
Wait. Let me go.
If you help me find the helmet
Left turn.
I'll help you find the culprit.
How many ghost employees do you have?
Chief Nam, Director Ma, and A Reum.
- Was that a ghost?
- He'll unlock it soon.
Get out!
Are you nuts?
Oh, sorry.
I'm not only strong.
I can tell your fortune, perform charms
There is nothing I can't do.
All the evidence is gone.
How are we going to catch him?
From now on, showtime.
Ripped and resynced by YoungJedi
(All characters, locations,
groups, and incidents are fictional.)
You.
When did you die?
I am still alive.
No!
You are an evil spirit who died
more than a century ago.
Stop lingering in this world.
You don't belong among the living!
I told you I am not dead!
Stop!
Leave the young girl's body!
Leave her body!
Mom. Please help me.
Help me. Mom!
You're going to kill my daughter!
Lady! You'd better brace yourself.
We must end it here!
Stop!
Mom!
Leave her body, you evil spirit!
Leave her body, you evil spirit!
Go away!
Dissipate!
Forever!
Oh, my.
Mr. Shaman!
Mr. Shaman!
(Episode 1)
Sir, are you all right?
What happened to her granddaughter?
She took a long nap. When she woke up,
she finished a whole bowl of rice.
I am glad
that I was able to save one more
before my time is up.
Thanks to you,
so many people got their lives back.
I don't deserve the credit.
It was all possible because
the General looked out for us.
He's coming.
Who's coming?
My grandson, Cha Woong.
He will come to serve the General.
You should come out now.
- Oh, no! What if he can't untie it?
- Hey.
Oh, no.
- Come out already.
- Oh, no.
Come out now.
Me?
- What? My hairpin.
- How did he do that?
- What's going on?
- How did he do that?
- Cha Cha Woong!
- Cha Cha Woong!
- Cha Cha Woong!
- Cha Cha Woong!
- Cha Cha Woong!
- Cha Cha Woong!
Can you all believe it?
You must be trying to figure out
my trick in your heads.
Tricksters and magicians.
There's a fine line between them.
Would you like to find it yourself?
If you can figure out
even one of my magic tricks,
I will
give you full refunds for your tickets.
Not just full refunds.
But ten times the ticket price.
Keep your eyes open
and try to figure out my tricks.
Cha Cha Woong's Magic Show.
It begins now.
- You seduced my boyfriend!
- No. It's a misunderstanding.
- A misunderstanding, my foot.
- Help me.
You seduced my boyfriend.
Her boyfriend dumped her.
She must be in shock.
- What?
- Can you stop her?
He didn't dump me. You stole him from me!
No violence, please.
My goodness.
There must be a misunderstanding.
Why don't you talk it out?
Gosh. Let go of my arm!
Come on. Get your hand off me!
It's not a misunderstanding!
He's been avoiding me ever
since we had a meal with her.
I knew it. You were smiling
at him so sweetly that day.
Did you smile sweetly at him?
No. My eyes are half-moon-shaped by nature.
Look. People get the wrong idea
that I'm flirting with them.
And being cute isn't my fault, right?
She's lost it. Do you have a death wish?
Oh, no!
- Goodness. I mean
- Seul Hae.
- What do you think you're doing?
- Well
Get me a towel. Oh, no! I need a towel!
Stop!
Both of you, sit down.
Or I'll arrest you
for obstruction of justice.
Thank you.
All right. Let me sum it up.
You don't have any hard evidence.
But based on your suspicions,
you jumped to conclusions, right?
Gosh. I just lost it.
I'm sorry.
(Police)
Hey, we've been friends for ten years.
How could I ever do something like that?
Right. I can tell that
you two are best friends.
And you two recently went
to Jeju Island, right?
Jeju Island?
Well, it comes with the job. You know?
I'm good at picking things up.
This is the tissue you gave me.
And you took out yours from your bag.
Didn't you get them during your trip?
(Jeju Island)
(Jeju Island)
How
Gosh, this is nothing
to be surprised about.
Being observant is the first step
in any investigation.
This pack of tissues
was in my boyfriend's car
when he broke up with me.
- You!
- Gosh.
Did you even go to Jeju Island
with my boyfriend?
Fine. I did. So what?
He asked me to go with him!
What? How dare you?
- You should've kept an eye on him.
- How could you do that to me?
- He flirted with me first!
- How could you?
- Why you little
- Stop it.
- He asked me out first! So what?
- How could you do that?
- What do you want?
- Wait.
- Get your hands off me.
- Stop it!
Darn it. Those ladies sure know
how to make it sting.
You had it coming.
- You were asking for it, right?
- Pardon?
He probably means to say
you have a way of causing trouble.
You could have just kicked them
out of the coffee shop.
Why did you have to get involved?
What was the point of
listening to their sob story?
Why did you make it worse
than it already was?
Sir.
(Document for Approval)
You know why the police's
mascot has big ears, right?
It means that we are supposed
to listen to people's stories
with our big ears.
I only did what I was obligated
to as a police officer.
Goodness. If you try to fulfill
your obligation one more time,
you will end up getting me fired.
You said you wanted to become a detective.
Could you hurry up?
Of course. I'll become a detective.
I'll make sure of it.
- I already put in my request.
- You little
Everyone knows how competent Officer Ko is.
I'm not sure if the
Detective Division can handle her.
If the Detective Division doesn't take you,
come up with a fake culprit.
Drag him there if you have to.
You do that because your
presence here is killing me.
I'm done for the day.
- Bye, sir.
- Bye, sir.
Hey, what did you say?
- Nothing.
- Bye, sir.
Hey, do we not have
a Band-Aid at the station?
Put a Band-Aid on it.
So your pretty face doesn't get a scar.
Yes, sir.
If you end up with a scar,
ask those girls
to pay for the plastic surgery treatment.
Yes, sir.
Salute!
Mr. Cha. I think we should
skip the next performance.
- What?
- There's a problem
with the arrow shooting machine.
The timing is a bit off.
Are you out of your mind?
That's the highlight of the show.
But if it goes wrong,
the show might end really badly.
Just do your job.
A Reum. You need to stay focused.
I could have died if you were
three seconds late earlier.
Chief Nam. Your stomach is bulging a bit.
Don't breathe starting now.
Director Ma
What?
Your back can hurt a bit.
It won't kill you. Just man up.
"There's no law saying that you should?"
There is.
Didn't you know?
I am the law here.
Did anyone figure out the secret
behind my tricks?
Then here's your last chance.
While I ride the motorcycle
around the stage,
you can shoot these arrows at me.
Simple, isn't it?
Is there anyone who would like to try?
He'll volunteer.
You'll volunteer?
- That's a real arrow.
- It's real?
- Gosh.
- Really?
Come on. This is a real arrow!
You murderer!
- Are you all right?
- Are you seriously asking me that?
I almost died.
It's
showtime.
(Pharmacy)
Officer Ko?
Hey, Min Ho.
I can tell that you had a case today.
If you're on your way home.
I can drop you off.
Anyone who doesn't wear a helmet
will get a 20,000 won fine.
Gosh. An off-duty police officer
is still a police officer, right?
I'm even scared to offer a ride.
You must feel safe
when your neighbour is a police officer.
Why would you be scared?
Right. You must have a lot of work.
You've been coming home late.
I started delivering food at night.
I need to make money.
I'll be a dad soon.
Right!
- She's almost due, right?
- Yes.
Do you need any baby stuff?
- Gosh, no.
- But still.
My purse!
Min Ho, let me borrow that for a second.
Hey, wait.
Be careful!
You're dead meat.
Gosh. I'm so nervous.
Here I go.
It's the last one.
He shouldn't press it like that.
(Lightning Courier)
Hey! Stop right there!
Hey! Darn it.
Stop right there!
- Mr. Cha!
- Is he really shot?
Are you all right, Mr. Cha?
- Cha Woong.
- Take off his helmet first.
- Where is he?
- What?
Do you still think I'm a trickster?
Or do you acknowledge me
as the best magician on earth?
I am among you.
Excuse me. Coming through. I'm sorry.
Can't you see me?
There you are.
Everyone.
- There he is.
- I got you!
What?
You
I'm right here.
Where do you think you're going?
- Cha Cha Woong!
- Cha Cha Woong!
- Cha Cha Woong!
- Cha Cha Woong!
- Let go of me. Are you crazy?
- Come here.
Who are you? What are you doing?
Get your hands off me.
- Cha Cha Woong!
- Cha Cha Woong!
(Ko Seul Hae, National Police Agency)
Officer Ko Seul Hae
of Kangguk Police Substation.
I'm really sorry about what happened.
But there's a man who
stole a woman's purse.
We must seal off the building
and question the people
How much did this man allegedly steal?
I'll give you the money.
Don't cause a scene. Leave quietly.
How could you say that to a police officer?
I'm not here to get the money back,
but to achieve justice in society.
I see. To achieve justice in society.
How much is that now?
The money the audience paid
for my show, the rental fee I paid,
the stage installation fee,
and the marketing fee.
Does that trump everything?
Yes!
What?
Let's see how much you're willing to pay.
My show has been stopped
for 7 minutes and 30 seconds.
If you don't get out in 30 seconds,
I'll sue you
to compensate for the damage
incurred from your action.
You have 27 seconds, 26 seconds,
- Twenty-five seconds
- Are you threatening me?
I'll calculate the damage by the second.
My hourly rate is pretty high.
- You have 16 seconds, 15 seconds
- Wait.
I'll get out. Fine. I'm leaving.
We finished inspecting the auditorium.
We didn't find any suspicious individuals.
Right. That's what I thought.
I'm
I'm here to get my helmet.
You have 2 seconds,
and now 1 second.
You're being cheap.
She totally rocked the boat.
You jerk!
Darn it.
Goodness!
Excuse me?
Hey.
Excuse me?
You!
So you're the one who witnessed,
chased, and dragged him here,
but you didn't beat him up?
I thought I had lost him,
but when I returned, he was
Stop spouting nonsense.
He's beaten to a pulp,
but you're telling me nobody did it?
Detective, you know I did judo, right?
My specialities are
the shoulder throw
and inner reaping throw.
And my killer move is
the rear stomach throw.
Anyone I take down will fall backward,
so their skull will crack open,
not their face.
You're back, Seul Hae?
Hee Soo.
Didn't you mention
something cracked just now?
Yes, the skull.
The skull?
I meant the head will take the blow.
What? Did you hurt your head?
How?
Do you feel dizzy or anything?
What's that scar on your forehead?
Well
I might be feeling a bit dizzy.
It's this guy that got hurt,
not Officer Ko.
What's weird is that he doesn't know
how he got into that state.
Anyway, you had it tough.
And Detective Byun? Is he on outside duty?
No.
Detective Byun.
You do know I want to be
a congressman, right?
Of course.
With your leadership,
you must work nationwide,
not only in Kangguk-Gu.
But
compared to the congressmen
in the National Assembly,
I have a low profile.
Even though I devoted my life to this job,
not a single person remembers my name.
It must be because you're
such a humble person.
So you've heard of self-promotion, right?
I decided to do that.
What do you mean by promotion?
(Chief Seo Chang Ho)
Those are strong rich
people in the district.
Get them together.
(Personnel information)
How does a civil police unit sound?
We should make use of their expertise.
A civil police unit?
- That's a great idea.
- Right?
Recruiting voters through
outside activities
and taking photos for the media.
I'll organize a meeting tonight, Chief Seo.
I mean, Assemblyman Seo.
("God of Magic" Show Proposal)
The TV show is called "God of Magic".
It's a survival competition
with several magicians.
You're late.
KBM, NHC,
ABD TV, Conan TV,
Webflix,
and many more.
These are business cards
I received from producers today.
And yours
I'll return it.
Bye then.
Mr. Cha, our show is different
from the others.
How so?
We're miles more desperate than them.
What are you doing, sir?
Hurry up and get on your knees.
Others are holiday special episodes
or simple guest star appearances,
but our show specializes in magic.
You'll be on it every week.
I'm not that cheap to appear
as a regular anymore.
As you know,
I'm on another level.
Right, another level.
We'll comply with your needs.
I'll pay as much as you ask even
if the company goes bankrupt.
Lee Eun Gyeol and Cha Cha Woong,
the rivals of the century.
Please reconsider it.
Did Lee Eun Gyeol agree to be on the show?
Gosh, then I can't possibly turn it down.
It's a lot.
The community welfare center gave it to us.
I'm sorry for being incompetent.
I couldn't even buy you a gift
for our wedding anniversary today.
Forget about it.
Raising Sa Rang will cost a lot,
so we have to save up.
I'm okay.
Gosh, you say such sweet words.
Sa Rang.
Oh, my! Look at you two love birds!
You two look so lovely!
Did you catch the mugger?
Yes, thanks to you.
Your bike is tanked up and parked.
- Here it is.
- That's great news.
This isn't mine.
No way.
Mine has a dashcam on it.
Maybe it got switched somewhere.
That means
I'm
I'm here to get my helmet.
You now have 1 second.
Cha Cha Woong?
It probably happened
at Cha Cha Woong's show place.
I'll be right back.
But will he still be there?
How about you visit his house?
Cha Cha Woong, the famous magician,
lives in our neighbourhood.
It's that big house beyond the playground.
What? Who put this on the helmet?
I'm in charge of electronic equipment.
Isn't this a black box?
I haven't seen it before.
A black box?
Mr. Cha, that jerk. I can't believe this.
What about him?
Can't you tell?
He installed this to keep an eye on us.
Nonsense. The camera can't even catch us.
Even if it doesn't, Mr. Cha can tell
if you're working or not
by the things moving.
You're right.
Then we should keep working.
Let's finish before he gets here.
Chief Nam, we're employees, not slaves.
We may be dead but he's
making us work like horses.
He gets all the glory
when we do all the hard work.
And he's got that height.
Carrying him strains both
my shoulders and back.
How will I get married
without any stamina left?
He's right. I'm a ghost, not MacGyver.
How can I open it within five seconds?
As a stand-in for Mr. Cha,
I have to work wearing shoe inserts,
and they're as heavy as bricks.
My legs tremble and my whole
body aches after the show.
Driving ghosts hard with money.
What a cruel world.
Darn it!
- Gosh.
- Hey.
We need a labour union for ghosts.
A labour union?
Does our company need one?
I don't get it.
Do you think it's easy to find a boss
who speaks the same language as you?
What other companies
put a ghost's aptitude and
specialty to full use like ours?
None, of course!
Plus, you only work for 8 hours a day,
5 days a week,
and I support your living family
and you entering Nirvana.
Other ghosts are dying
to get into this company.
If a ghost labour union is formed,
it'd be more than just that.
It'd be a noble labour union.
You little
Hey, stop!
Stop chatting and wrap things up.
The security company is coming soon.
Are you locking this place up again?
Once the shoot starts,
you never know what the rivals will do.
Our conversation and practices.
If it gets recorded by a dashcam
or something and goes public,
Cha Cha Woong, god of magic,
will go down as a
ghost-seeing crook in no time.
- Are you going to be on that show?
- Of course.
Lee Eun Gyeol.
I'll crush you for sure this time.
Fingerprint, voice, and iris recognition.
Double, triple,
and even quadruple the security.
So not even a single bug can get in.
Okay.
Hello?
Yes, that's me.
What?
What is it? Did something happen?
Tell us. What's going on?
My grandfather passed away.
What? You have a family?
Hurry up and go.
(Authorized personnel only)
He's your family after all,
so you should bid him farewell.
I agree. From my experience,
those who don't come to
one's funeral are heartless.
Those punks.
"Cha Cha Woong's Magic Factory."
Yes, this is the place.
- I'll be back.
- Be careful.
Okay.
Excuse me!
No one's inside. You can't go in.
I'm from Kangguk Police Department.
My helmet was switched with Mr. Cha's.
I'm here to return it.
I see. Go in then.
- Thank you.
- Sure.
(Lightning Courier)
Gosh, what a place.
That human dicer!
I saw it on TV.
It's scary.
There it is.
- Thank you.
- No problem.
You must be late because of me. I'm sorry.
Don't worry.
It's all good since we found it.
That reminds me,
isn't today your wedding anniversary?
You should get off work early.
But I bet it'll end late.
So I'm going to buy a cake on my way home.
A cake. Good idea.
- Enjoy the party.
- I will.
Now then, why don't we make a toast?
For a successful civil police unit!
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
- Good.
- Here.
Having the leaders
of Kangguk-Gu gathered
in one place feels so reassuring.
Gosh, stop it.
You helped us plenty with our business.
We would have had to close down
if you had gone on about legal stuff
like the previous chiefs.
He's totally right.
What we have to do is get the stage ready.
In other words, do something
that'll make you look good.
You know it.
Should I bring together
all my guys tomorrow?
What I love
is your enthusiasm.
You have a guest.
- Excuse me.
- Cheers.
Right, you're here.
He's my son.
Captain of Detective Division Team One
at Kangguk Police Department.
Why did you call for me?
They're owners of big businesses
in our district.
Greet them.
All right.
- I'm Seo Hee Soo.
- My gosh, Captain Seo.
I'm Kang Dal Soo. I run a junkyard.
We'll see each other a lot from now on.
I shouldn't. I drove here.
I'll take my leave.
- Yes, let's have a glass.
- Sure.
- Here, cheers.
- Cheers.
Seul Hae!
It's Hee Soo.
Are those to celebrate
catching the purse snatcher?
Oh, yes, with Na Eun.
I heard you caught him
on your way home from work.
Yes, I guess I can easily catch
a snatcher or two on my way home.
The detective division must really want me.
Are you that desperate?
Of course, it's my dream job.
But you shouldn't have
attacked him without any gear.
You made me worry.
- You were worried about me?
- Yes, obviously.
My dad feels guilty about what happened
to your dad even now.
It'd break my heart
if you got hurt as well.
I see. Okay.
I'm sorry. I'll be careful.
Always have your gear with you.
Protecting ourselves is also our duty.
Yes, understood.
- Let's go. Buckle up.
- Okay.
(Condolences)
Why tag along? It won't take long.
Take as much time as you can.
We're going to stuff ourselves off
of the ancestral rites table.
Is it really okay to leave right
after paying your respects?
It'll feel empty without the chief mourner.
No, listen.
Why did you do that? Goodness.
- Hey.
- Welcome.
- Here, dig in.
- Thanks.
Gosh.
- My goodness.
- Who are you?
Your grandfather must have
been a virtuous man.
- My gosh, that's enough.
- Come on.
- Goodness.
- Stop.
My gosh, for real?
- Hey, over here.
- Okay.
What?
What are you all doing?
The General Spirit's pupil is here.
Where are your manners?
Good evening.
This is the very reason
I didn't want to come.
Cha Woong,
it's Granny Geum Ok from Okhwa House.
Why are you so late?
Mr. Shaman!
After the exorcism,
my son recovered completely.
His hearing is back to normal,
and he doesn't talk gibberish now.
Words can't express how grateful I am.
I'm glad.
Please take this back and
make rice cakes for your son.
That jerk is finally back home.
It's all thanks to your talisman.
We feel light-hearted
after our consultation.
I didn't do it for the money.
Please take good care of each other
and live a happy life.
Thank you, Mr. Shaman!
I'm home.
Grandfather?
Is he not back yet?
Last night, the police rescued
the woman who could have been
the fifth victim of the
culprit who only murders
during the full moon,
also known as the Full Moon Murderer.
However, the detective in charge
lost his life in the process.
The police rushed to the scene
and caught the shaman
who interrupted the arrest.
The police are investigating
whether he's an accomplice
- of the Full Moon Murderer.
- Grandfather?
All he did was sell useless talismans.
He must think he got something good
from that notorious Full Moon Murderer.
We should just burn this house down.
He's an embarrassment to the whole town.
That quack shaman brought it on himself.
He kept going on about my son
being possessed by a ghost
and tried to extort money from me.
- That's right.
- That fraud.
Take this!
My grandfather isn't a quack shaman.
He got the spirit out of you.
And what? A cult fanatic?
Didn't your husband come back home
with my grandfather's talisman?
You punk!
- A spirit in this day and age?
- Cheating?
- Watch your mouth.
- He's spouting nonsense.
- Get lost.
- That's his grandson for sure.
- He's so brazen.
- You saw that, right?
- I really can't
- This is embarrassing.
I feel bad for myself
- for getting scammed.
- I know, right?
Goodness.
Cha Woong, why are you here?
What about school?
Why did you do it?
I'm sorry, Cha Woong.
But I had to catch him at all costs.
And how will you do that?
Not even the police can catch him,
so how will you?
Are you eating well?
Ask the neighbours
for some side dishes and
The neighbours?
Do you even know what they're saying?
They're calling you a quack shaman,
a fraud, and a cult fanatic.
I can't live in this town anymore.
No, Cha Woong!
You must protect the shrine.
No.
I won't live like you, Grandfather.
No matter how much you help others,
they will only respect you
when they need you.
Nobody helps when you need it
or believes in you.
So why should I follow in your footsteps?
Are you crazy?
Are you a fool?
It's all because of my incompetence.
I missed him when he was
right in front of me.
If only I caught him
What a fool.
Even until his last breath,
he was worried about you.
So he worried about someone else
until the very end.
What a fool.
You're not just someone else.
He was the nation's best male shaman.
And you're his only living family.
It's time for you to serve the General.
Why would I become a shaman?
Watch your mouth!
He had a great life
helping people.
They backstabbed him in the end!
I learned from him that
sacrificing myself for others
is the hardest thing in the world!
I told myself that day.
I will never trust
nor help humans.
It's for the funeral.
This will be more than enough.
- Nice.
- Good job.
Well done.
Pyeonyuk is the best dish at funerals.
Dip it in the salted shrimp.
Korean ghosts get energy from food.
Eat a lot when you can.
I prefer street food.
Can't they put ramyeon or tteokbokki
on the ancestral rites tables?
Take this first.
Let's go. Get up.
- What? Already?
- Let's move.
You can sit here.
Oh my. Look how tall he is.
He looks perfect.
Grandma. Why is the
chief mourner leaving already?
Should I go stop him?
Leave him be.
He was born to serve a spirit.
He can't avoid it nor run away.
The General will visit him.
(Cookie Cheesecake)
(Injeolmi Cake)
(White Foret Noire)
There you go.
- Bye.
- Thank you.
Dear Yu Jin.
I wanted to get your favourite cake.
I could only buy cornet bread. I'm sorry.
We may be struggling now,
but let's do our best to be
wonderful parents for Sa Rang.
Mr. Cha. Can you slow down?
I died in a car accident. I have a trauma.
Gosh.
Wait a minute.
What's this? It wasn't here earlier.
Is that food? Open it.
What is it?
It's raw rice.
- Rice?
- That's a spirit pot.
Someone from the mourner's house
put that in the car.
A spirit pot?
Isn't that for serving the ancestor spirit?
Darn it.
Why did she put that thing
in my car without telling me?
She knows that thing
could bring me bad luck.
Throw that out now.
Mr. Cha. You can't just throw this away.
You have to recycle it.
Don't waste it.
Give it to me. I'll cook it.
- No.
- Give it to me. I'll throw it out.
Mr. Cha. A human ahead!
Gosh.
(Clothing Bin)
- Darn it.
- Hey.
- Chief Nam. Do you see anything?
- Darn it.
(Clothing Bin)
Do you see me?
- Oh, my goodness.
- Oh, dear.
He's a ghost.
I thought you were a human.
He's dead.
Hang on.
Did I kill you?
No. The accident happened earlier.
Then why did you show up
in front of my car?
What are you going to do
about the headlight?
I'm sorry. I just died.
I'm still trying to figure things out.
I'm glad to meet people who can see me.
It's quite a relief.
That's unfortunate.
What happened? You're still young.
What's the point of asking?
They all have the same story.
Help me. Please.
It's my wedding anniversary today.
I couldn't give her cornet bread.
My daughter will be born soon.
What am I supposed to do?
Refer to the experts.
Talk to a shaman about it.
There's nothing I can do for you. Bye.
I feel bad for you.
Don't feel too bitter.
Wait
He followed us here.
He must be really frustrated.
You should listen to his story,
or he'll follow you everywhere.
Did he say he would bring us money?
- Well
- No, he can't.
So stop being nosy.
I hate getting involved with humans.
But you live with us.
Since Chief Nam is swift and a good driver,
he's the best stand-in.
Director Ma is strong.
A Reum, the engineering major,
is good with machines.
You're my minimum opportunity cost
to achieve my dream.
I see.
So, you're saying we're necessary evil?
"Necessary evil".
Oh, yes. I like that expression.
It's simple and clear.
That's perfect.
Your description is offensive,
but it's easy to understand.
- Goodnight then.
- Goodnight.
Well done today.
Gosh.
Necessary evil, my foot.
He can make a living thanks to us.
Don't you agree, Chief Nam?
Well, you're right.
Don't stay quiet.
You should lecture him as an elder.
What else can I do?
If we complain to our boss,
he'll only cut down our salary.
Consider him as our elder
since he pays us and let it go.
Gosh. When will he grow up?
Look how big his picture is.
Look at ours. They're so tiny.
What else can we do about it?
He's our necessary evil too.
I'm going to bed.
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
You'll see.
I'll smack his lips before I enter Nirvana.
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
(Kang A Reum, Nam Sang Gun, Ma Dong Chul)
What a jerk.
(Kang A Reum, Nam Sang Gun, Ma Dong Chul)
So? He gave you a ride home?
Yes. He was worried about me.
I guess he finally sees me as a woman.
- What?
- It's funny.
Let's be honest.
He would never see you as a woman.
Think about what you were like
when you lived at his house
back in high school?
You always had a bowl cut
and wore sweatsuits every day
to work out, smelling like sweat.
You were like a wild beast.
- I'll kill you. I bought that!
- Hey.
Besides, Chief Seo is like your father.
He would consider you as a real sister.
That could be true.
Gosh. That's so annoying. Come here.
Hey.
Hey. It's the landlord.
- The landlord?
- Yes. Cha Cha Woong.
He owns the café building.
- That timer guy?
- Yes.
Why do you call him "timer guy"?
I had to ask him for cooperation today.
He said his time is precious.
He was like,
"You have 2 seconds and 1 second".
He was so annoying.
He's full of himself,
but he seems nice and gentle.
Gentle?
Gentle, my foot.
Haven't you met real gentlemen?
How can you say he's gentle?
It upsets me to see him. Turn it off.
(Kang A Reum, Nam Sang Gun, Ma Dong Chul)
It's breakfast time.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
Let's eat.
I'm so sick of bread.
I miss what I had yesterday at the funeral.
I miss the seasoned skate from yesterday.
Sir.
I think it'd be more reasonable
to separate your meals and ours
considering the differences in tastes.
Reasonable? Sounds good.
A Reum. Reasonably speaking,
ghosts don't need to eat.
They don't digest food.
They simply taste it.
Therefore, as the only
human of this company,
who consumes nutrients
for physical activities,
I will decide on the menu.
So don't bother to eat
if you don't like it.
For some reason, I never get sick of it.
We use our strength to lift things
during the performances.
Who gave you that strength?
You are
nothing but an empty
cellphone with no data.
Because I'm sharing my energy
with you like Wi-Fi,
you can grab objects, let them go,
and pass through them.
Without me,
you would've been dragged away
by the Grim Reaper already.
It's all written in your
employment contracts.
You seem to keep forgetting it. How tiring.
That mouth of his, I'm so sick of it.
Let's just enjoy it.
Thank you for the food.
We're going to work overtime
for "God of Magic", so eat up.
Also, strengthen security
in the broadcasting station.
Is that why you installed a dashcam?
It's a magic prop, slash portable CCTV.
What dashcam?
Don't act like you don't know.
You installed a camera
on the helmet to watch us.
What?
What's this?
There's nothing here. Are you sure?
It was right here. Where did it go?
Could it be the security company engineer?
- Where did it go?
- It was right here.
Yes.
- Hello?
- This is Cha Cha Woong.
Did anyone come in here yesterday?
- Yes, a cop.
- What?
Why did you let someone in while I was out?
Even if it's a cop!
I am sorry.
Darn it.
I knew I had a bad feeling
about her from the start.
She didn't touch anything else.
Let it slide. She took what was hers.
That's not the problem.
It captured us talking and practicing.
What if someone sees it?
(Police)
(Integrity is our highest value.)
Let's go.
Seul Hae. Why did you
bring so many weapons?
Oh, that.
I made a promise to a guy.
That I won't wound this fragile body
until I become his.
I guess he's not a cop.
He's not aware of the
Hulk of Kangguk Police Substation.
I've been too nice to you, haven't I?
I'll teach you how to show respect!
You punk
Timer guy?
Where's the helmet?
I put it back on the shelf in your
rehearsal studio. Didn't you see it?
Not mine, yours. The one with the dashcam.
- Why?
- I was filmed on that.
I need to delete it. Give it to me now.
Is there something that
shouldn't be filmed?
That's why you should always behave.
It filmed me preparing for my performance.
My business secret has been leaked.
Oh, that super expensive performance
that you charge by the second?
Too bad. I don't have it.
No?
Why? How come?
Did you sell it off already?
Who? Lee Eun Gyeol? Choi Hyun Woo?
- A broadcasting station?
- What are you talking about?
I borrowed it from my neighbour.
So I gave it back to him.
The footage will be erased
if there's no issue. What's the fuss?
What if there is?
If it gets leaked,
will you take responsibility?
Will you take responsibility
for my entire life?
What responsibility?
Okay! I'll find it for you.
Before that
What?
You were driving with a broken headlight.
You've violated the traffic law.
You'll be fined.
- Officer Ko.
- It was an unfortunate accident.
Yes?
A body has been found in the back hills.
Wait.
I'll get it for you.
Hey.
- Give it to me.
- Okay.
What's he doing?
I saw something that looked like clothes
on my way down.
And it turned out it really was a man.
- Are you sure?
- I am!
It was a young man.
Where did you find him?
It was somewhere Oh, gosh. I don't know.
I was so shocked.
I don't even know how I got here.
You should come with us.
Where is she going?
Nothing here.
Nothing here, either!
- Stop.
- Give it to me.
You followed me here?
I said I'll get it for you later.
It has to be now. That's why I'm here.
The number of the helmet owner.
Give it to me now.
Fine. Okay!
I'll call him now!
Nothing here.
Min Ho.
I'm sorry. I just died.
I'm still trying to figure things out.
I'm glad to meet people who can see me.
It's quite a relief.
Min Ho.
You don't have time for this.
We need to find the helmet first.
All my business secrets are on there.
Hey. Are you out of your mind?
A man is dead, and what? A helmet?
You freaking moron.
Keep it down.
If the other officers find it first,
they'll check the dashcam right away.
I must find it before anyone else does.
- The dashcam.
- Yes, the dashcam. The
That girl
The estimated time of death
is 24:00 last night.
I think the accident occurred
while he was on a delivery.
If he was driving a bike,
perhaps he was wearing a helmet.
Could be.
Then was he abandoned after a hit and run?
Captain Seo. It's the helmet.
He had a dashcam on his helmet.
It probably recorded
the scene of the accident.
What? How do you know?
He was my neighbour.
I borrowed his bike
when I arrested the snatcher.
Is that so?
Detective Ma. See if there's a helmet
in this area with the support team.
Yes, sir.
Are you nuts? Why would you tell them?
Oh, it's the magician, Cha Cha Woong!
- What are you doing here?
- Be quiet.
You've been hanging around.
Oh, because
I was just out hiking.
I was checking to see if anything happened.
Can't you see? It says keep out.
Get out of here now.
Oh, okay.
You should go down. This area is dangerous.
- Okay.
- Take him with you.
Hurry up.
- Bye.
- What does he think he's doing?
Bye.
Gosh. This is crazy.
She's been causing unnecessary
trouble since yesterday.
I feel bad for him.
It's sad enough that he's dead,
and he's abandoned in the mountains.
I know. You should've
listened to him yesterday.
Pull yourselves together!
This is no time to worry about him.
If the police find the helmet before us,
we're done for.
Why don't we take this chance
to change our line of business?
A ghost show will be
better than a magic show.
So? Are you expecting us
to find the helmet now?
We work for the magic show company,
not a private detective agency.
We're about to shut down.
You're about to lose your jobs!
- Lose our jobs?
- Lose our jobs?
Chief Nam.
You said you won't enter Nirvana
once your daughter
graduates from university.
Then you have to make a lot of money
for her studies,
enrolment fees, and tuition.
Director Ma.
You should get married before this year.
No succubus would even look at you
if a former thug is now unemployed.
A Reum. You said you were sad
since you studied until you died.
You said you want to play games
as much as you want.
Can you upgrade your character
without any money these days?
Life is all about money.
Why can't you see the reality!
- My daughter.
- My wedding night.
The guild war is next week.
- What do you want me to do?
- What do you want me to do?
First, let's find the helmet owner.
Min Ho.
Honey.
What are you doing here?
Get up already.
Seul Hae. This isn't right.
It's all a dream, right?
Yu Jin.
The baby
Brace yourself for Sa Rang.
Oh, my baby.
I'm sorry.
This is ridiculous.
Min Ho.
Min Ho. Look at me.
Min Ho. Wake up.
Min Ho. You can't leave
on our wedding anniversary!
How can you leave me and Sa Rang behind?
Where is he?
What's he doing?
Chief Nam. Did you find anything?
Nothing. No.
- A cake.
- What cake?
Yes.
He said he was going to buy a cake
for his wedding anniversary.
If we investigate the bakeries
between his last delivery and his house,
we'll be able to find where
the accident occurred.
What if it occurred before
he went to buy the cake?
This is why you can't make it
to the Detective Division.
Stop acting up and
return to the substation.
Cake, my foot.
Oh, my goodness.
What are you doing here?
What kind of inappropriate
question is that?
Why else would I go to the bakery?
To buy bread.
But you're not carrying any bread.
Maybe they didn't have
what I was looking for.
Besides, why are you
talking casually to me?
Since when did we get so close?
There are three groups
to whom I talk casually.
Children. Culprits.
And freaking morons.
Think about which group you belong to.
Is she saying
I'm a child?
Did he buy a cake last night?
No one bought a cake last night.
I see.
Was there an accident nearby?
The man who just left
asked the same question.
The same question?
He asked if I remember a man
who bought cornet bread last night
and if he lives around here.
Cornet bread?
Thank you for your cooperation.
Where did he go?
Wait.
You can't take that.
(Lightning Courier)
Where did he go?
Even a ghost is not around when I need it.
A Reum. I find that offensive.
That's probably because he
compared us to dog turds.
What? Mr. Cha. How can you say that?
How can you say that
in front of dead people?
- You're behind me!
- What?
Mr. Cha can see ghosts.
He knows death is not the end.
So death doesn't mean anything to him.
Don't get upset over nothing.
That's true.
He's rude to everyone whether
they're dead or alive.
- He's very fair.
- A Reum. You still shouldn't
Chief Nam. Stop trying to suck up to him.
Be quiet and look for the ghost.
You're so distracting.
But it's true.
I don't see him.
Maybe he's still lingering
around our house.
He was there until late last night.
That makes sense, Mr. Cha.
Let's go home.
(Seul Hae)
Seul Hae.
Manna Bakery?
Okay. Well done.
Officer Ko found the victim's bike
near Manna Bakery.
Let's go.
(Dear Yu Jin.
I wanted to get your favourite cake.)
(I could only buy cornet bread. I'm sorry.)
Was there an accident nearby?
He asked if I remember a man who
bought cornet bread last night
and if he lives around here.
Cornet bread?
Cornet bread.
You were driving with a broken headlight.
You've violated the traffic law.
You'll be fined.
It was you.
Cha Cha Woong.
Where on earth is he?
What are you doing?
That's
It was you. You're the culprit.
What?
This.
It's a broken piece of a headlight
found at the scene of a hit and run.
It fits your broken headlight.
There was a minor accident last night,
but are you saying
that proves I'm the culprit?
Last night, you hit a man
and abandoned his body.
While you were doing that,
you lost the helmet.
Along with the dashcam
that recorded the accident.
What you're trying to delete is
not your business secret,
but the scene of the accident.
You're jumping too fast to the conclusion.
Too fast?
Then how about this?
Cornet bread.
You asked the bakery clerk
about the man who bought
cornet bread specifically.
Only three people know that
Min Ho bought cornet bread.
Min Ho, who wrote this card,
me, who picked up this card,
and the culprit.
That's because
- Help me.
- A Reum.
I don't get what's going on.
Can you explain?
Checkmate. Trapped. Game over.
Arrested.
She's taking out her handcuffs.
Cha Cha Woong.
You're under arrest
for drunken hit and run
and abandonment of a dead body.
You have the right to remain silent.
You have the right to an attorney.
Wait.
- Let's move.
- Gosh.
All right. I'll explain.
I can't tell you here. Let's go inside.
Don't move!
- Not us.
- She can't see us.
You can give that lame excuse in court.
- You should listen
- I said, don't move!
Gosh.
Stop her.
Oh, my.
Stop it.
What's wrong with this?
Why
What's going on?
Oh, she's strong.
That wasn't me.
What did you just do?
I said I would explain.
What just happened? What was that!
So,
that was
a ghost.
A ghost.
(From Now On, Showtime!)
- A deal?
- I was worried about you.
Wait. Let me go.
If you help me find the helmet
Left turn.
I'll help you find the culprit.
How many ghost employees do you have?
Chief Nam, Director Ma, and A Reum.
- Was that a ghost?
- He'll unlock it soon.
Get out!
Are you nuts?
Oh, sorry.
I'm not only strong.
I can tell your fortune, perform charms
There is nothing I can't do.
All the evidence is gone.
How are we going to catch him?
From now on, showtime.
