Bo-geol!
Hey, Bo-geol!
Coming.
Let's have breakfast, Bo-geol.
Okay, I'm coming.
EPISODE 2
Woo-hak.
Kang Woo-hak!
Savage Kang!
Get up already!
He came home so drunk
he's still passed out.
Jeez, tell me about it.
He shouldn't have had so much to drink.
Bo-geol, go wake your brother up.
Okay.
Why did you take it down?
I wanted to avoid real estate fees.
I'm going to take the rooftop room.
Why? What about your room?
Brothers in their thirties
sharing a room is a bit gross.
But still…
-You think I'm gross?
-Don't put words in my mouth.
I mean grown siblings
sharing a room is gross.
-Isn't that my underwear?
-I bought the same ones.
Just answer my question.
You think I'm gross?
Of course. You think he'd adore you?
You ran out of things to copy,
so you bought the same underwear?
Mom.
Hold on.
Don't raise your voices
before breakfast. Go and sit.
Bo-geol.
-Do you really want the rooftop room?
-I do.
And you want to room with him?
-Yes.
-Gosh, what do we do?
Then, Woo-hak.
Go to the rooftop with him.
-Honey.
-Dad.
-Nice, Dad.
-Yes.
-I'm not moving up there.
-Me neither.
-Woo-hak.
-I have separation anxiety.
Are you volunteering this weekend?
Which island? I'll come.
You said you hate volunteering,
boats, and getting dirty.
I love it.
I love boats and getting dirty.
I'm born to volunteer.
What?
It feels nice to ride--
Stop! Stop throwing up!
-What are you doing?
-Good gear's important for volunteering.
I'll show you where all the trash is.
You just go pick it up.
Let's walk clockwise along the shore.
Grab a raincoat since it'll rain soon.
-Okay.
-All right.
-Let's go!
-Let's go!
-Let's go.
-Wear your raincoats.
Beautiful.
What in the world…
is that?
Stay back.
Stay away.
Stop!
Don't come near me!
Don't touch it!
Jeez, why did he even come here?
Hey, go away!
Because I told him not to.
What?
He does the exact opposite of what I say.
He's rebellious to the bone.
He was born to be a reporter.
I see.
Stay back. Don't touch--
Don't touch that! Go away!
Darn it!
Why does she keep following me?
Does she know how much that cost?
Woo-hak!
Excuse me!
Hey, you!
Do you know how much that drone cost?
Don't drop it like that!
Ma'am.
That cost over two million won.
I mean…
Look.
Why do you keep--
This isn't…
a dream.
I'm not seeing things.
Are you…
a real person?
What are you doing? Why do you keep--
Are you crying?
What in the world are you…
Thank you…
for finding me.
COINCIDENCE VS. FATE
On this deserted island?
No way.
All by herself?
Wasn't the guy in Cast Away
stranded for four to five years?
Exactly.
How could a woman survive alone
on that island for 15 years?
This tastes so good.
I can't believe no one came to her rescue.
It's not impossible.
Korea has over 2,000 deserted islands.
What about her family?
She has none.
She's an only child,
and both parents passed away.
Just hold on.
The world has changed a lot, right?
I think you're a size 6.
Try them on.
I'll get smaller ones if needed.
Let's buy some shoes once we go ashore.
What's wrong?
Why are you crying again?
It's just that…
I'm just very thankful.
Hold on.
Are you going to cover this?
"A Woman Returns
from a Deserted Island After 15 Years."
It's intriguing.
What? I can't?
It's been tough for her to adjust.
She'll only gain
more attention from the public.
You want me to kill the story?
Would you do it if I told you to?
Sure.
Then, kill the story.
Pilji Island in Jeolla Province
is a deserted island.
In search of trash on this island,
I flew this drone with a camera
and stumbled across this woman.
The woman in this footage, Seo,
fell from Chunsam Ferry 15 years ago.
As a young girl
in ninth grade at that time,
Seo was on the island for 15 years
as she waited to be rescued.
She was miraculously rescued
as an adult at the age of 31.
There was no water or fire.
There was nothing. Just trash.
I dug out potatoes and ate them.
I caught fish and ate them.
That's how
I barely survived.
Pilji Island is 55 km away from the area
where Seo fell from the ferry.
At that time, this island
wasn't included in the search operation.
Seo was immediately taken
to the hospital after rescue
to receive a checkup.
Tests showed that she was in good health.
Left.
The police have stated
they will actively help Seo
with recovering her identity
and receiving a new ID card
so she can readjust into society.
For YGN News, I'm Kang Woo-hak.
Was he born to rebel?
He never listens.
Speak of the devil.
Why the third floor?
Right. You're recording today.
You said you'd kill the story.
You saw?
This is all because of that drone.
They asked me why I broke their property.
I explained what happened.
They said to report on it, so I did.
Then, why did you even ask?
What choice did I have?
I have to obey my superiors.
They want me to do a follow-up story too.
They said my story lacked the basics.
They want me to find out
why she left the island.
I said I didn't ask since it was personal.
But they just won't listen.
They want me to look into it.
Should I take the news desk head on?
What would you do?
Why ask if you're not going to listen?
You never gave me
an answer worth listening to.
Don't tell me you believe him.
What choice do I have?
Should I ask the news desk myself?
Bo-geol. Don't think
I'm being rude for saying this.
You already sound rude.
You're also to blame
for what happened to Woo-hak.
They say being a pushover
makes one a savage.
Who's the pushover, and who's the savage?
You're the pushover, and he's the savage.
He's not a savage.
If we're splitting hairs,
it's the other way around.
Hello.
-Hello, sir.
-Hello.
Let's begin the rehearsal.
THE HOUSE OF SHARED LOVE
I'm here to see Ms. Seo Mok-ha.
Did anyone reach out to her
after the news?
Perhaps her family or friends?
She also asks me every day
if anyone has tried to contact her.
I guess it's a no.
She'd been missing for so long.
She's getting discharged today,
but I feel bad.
Where will she go?
She said she's going to her hometown.
As in Chunsam Island?
Yes.
She'll be all alone there. I'm worried.
She's 31 on the outside,
but she's still 16 deep down
in terms of her education
and relationships.
She probably has no idea
what her future plans are.
She has no adult who can guide her.
I feel bad for her.
Goodness.
Your phone is faster
than the fastest internet out there.
First time seeing a smartphone?
Yes.
Goodness.
You can use that
to watch TV?
Of course.
If you do this, you can watch movies too.
Goodness.
You can also listen to music.
And you can search for things too.
Gosh.
It's too much for me.
You're incredible.
You're a million times more incredible.
Hello, ma'am.
Who else has survived
on an island for 15 years?
-What brings you here?
-Your friend is here.
My friend? Could it be--
It's me. Kang Woo-hak.
I see. Kang Woo-hak.
I mean, hello.
What are those shoes for?
Selling them on Craigslist?
I apologize.
I'm sorry that I wasn't the person
you were waiting for.
I'm also sorry I insisted on escorting you
by car and boat on your way back home.
Thank you.
Then, tell me.
Tell you what?
Everything.
Why did you leave Chunsam Island
and fall into the water?
It's a pretty long story.
I'm a reporter. It's my job to listen.
Where should I begin?
Gosh!
Stop!
Why?
Ms. Seo! Wait…
DEODEOK VILLAGE FESTIVAL
What is it?
Why did you want me to suddenly pull over?
Ran-joo.
"Ran-joo"? Is that your sister's name?
Weren't you an only child?
Ran-joo.
"Yoon Ran-joo."
Do you know her?
She was the start of everything.
"Deodeok"?
I'm telling you.
She left home to see a singer.
Yoon Ran-joo.
She's that singer from the past.
"Girl Runs Away to See a Singer,
Gets Stranded for 15 Years."
That's it for the headline.
Come on.
How can I dig more when there's nothing?
It's already embarrassing.
A fangirl got on a boat to see Yoon
or whatever her name is
without her dad knowing and fell.
That's the truth.
Sure, I'll dig into it.
It's a lovely day
to do meaningless grunt work.
Mister.
Yes?
It's true that I'm a fangirl.
It's true that I left home
to see a singer.
But still!
Her name is Yoon Ran-joo.
She's not someone
you can disrespect like that!
I'm sorry.
Good day, sir.
But there's nowhere to go.
Why does she call me "mister"
when we're the same age?
What lovely weather.
JAE-SIK'S MARINATED CRAB
Was this her house?
-Here's your marinated crab!
-Here it is!
This is a lot for a small size. Enjoy.
Thank you.
Are you here by yourself?
Sir.
It's me.
What?
Who are you? Do you know me?
I'm Mok-ha. Seo Mok-ha.
Goodness. Are you serious?
Dad!
Mok-ha is here. She's come back alive.
Mok-ha?
Goodness.
Are you really Mok-ha?
Yes, I am.
It's been ages.
Just come out already!
Sir, what's the matter?
What does it say?
This is Jae-sik's Marinated Crab,
not Chunsam Island Seafood.
It's mine!
My marinated crab restaurant!
You should've come back alive sooner.
What do you expect now?
You can't just take over
this restaurant we've built
for a decade just like that!
Goodness, sir.
-That's not why--
-Forget it!
You must not know a lot about the law.
But… What's it called again?
It's called adverse possession.
If you possess a vacant spot for a decade,
the government rewards you
for your hard work
by handing over legal ownership to you.
Also, if you've been missing
for over five years,
the government declares you dead.
You're legally dead, Mok-ha.
"Dead"?
The deceased has no right of possession.
The only recognized owners
of this restaurant
are us who are alive and well!
-It's us!
-This is the truth.
By the way, who are you?
Right. I am
YGN reporter Kang Woo-hak.
-Why are you here?
-Don't mind me and keep talking.
-Don't film us.
-Darn it.
By the way, ten years isn't enough
to grant adverse possession.
You must not know the law that well.
Ten years after the owner has died--
Ms. Seo isn't dead.
Look. She's alive and well.
So why do you keep claiming she's dead?
Being missing for even five years
doesn't make you legally dead.
You need to be declared missing
for that to happen.
But she's never been declared dead.
So this woman
is legally alive and well.
Look, I'm…
You must not know the law well.
But what you're doing is trespassing.
You could be slapped
with all sorts of lawsuits.
Okay, bring on your laws.
-I'll report this to the police.
-No, I…
That's enough, mister.
Look.
I didn't come here
to take the restaurant back.
I just had a question.
About what?
Can you tell me what happened to Ki-ho?
Ki-ho? Jung Ki-ho?
Yes.
You see…
Why would you want to know
what that insolent boy is up to?
He's right. He lured you and your father
into a dangerous situation.
That's not true.
He's not insolent.
You just didn't see it.
He became a lunatic after you were gone.
He destroyed
your restaurant's water tanks.
He never went to school
and always stared at the sea.
Then, he got the urge
to run away once again
and did just that.
Not only that,
he reported his own father
for domestic violence.
Officer Jung insisted
that he was innocent.
But the police were merciless.
He was fired immediately that day.
Ki-ho is the worst son ever.
Goodness,
and he's still looking for his son.
After hearing Ki-ho was seen in Seoul,
he abandoned his house
and has been searching Seoul
for his son ever since.
His son left him, but he still loves him.
That's what parents do.
I wonder where Ki-ho is.
He's probably dead.
If not, how could he have gone
unnoticed for 15 years?
IF YOU WISH FOR SOMETHING
WITH ALL YOUR HEART,
ONE WAY OR ANOTHER,
IT'LL COME TRUE ONE DAY
AND IT'LL HAPPEN IN AN UNEXPECTED WAY
He's alive.
Who?
Jung Ki-ho?
I had gone unnoticed for 15 years,
but I'm still alive.
I'm certain that he's still out there.
Don't you resent him?
If it weren't for him,
you might not have been
stranded for 15 years.
If it weren't for him,
fifteen years ago…
I would've been dead…
after getting beaten by my father.
We didn't just run away.
Back then…
we ran away
to survive.
Do those shoes
belong to him?
-One adult ticket for the 5:00 p.m. ferry.
-Make that two.
Buy me a ticket.
But this is your home.
That's not my house.
It is yours.
I explained everything back there.
Will it be one or two?
-One.
-Two.
Look, Ms. Seo.
I told you already.
I didn't come here to settle down.
You're here already, so settle down.
Then, everything I did
would've been in vain.
I got on that ferry to meet Ran-joo.
It was 15 years ago.
I was lost for 15 years
before I came back.
And you want me to settle down here?
Then, those 15 years would mean nothing.
My life
would be so meaningless.
Hey.
Thank you.
This is driving me crazy.
BROTHERS SALON
HIRING
REST DAYS: MONDAY, TUESDAY
Then, she came to Seoul just like that.
She has no plans.
She's a 16-year-old fangirl
in a 31-year-old woman's body.
What's her name? Yoon Ran-joo?
She insists on meeting
that washed-up singer. Then what?
She'll probably be disappointed.
This is all my fault.
I was the first person she met,
so she thinks everyone is
-as nice as me.
-Lift your feet.
Okay.
You missed a spot, Dad.
I told her to return to the shelter.
She said she'd rather sleep outside.
It's cold at night.
She'll get sick sleeping outside.
Speaking of which, Bo-geol,
do you have to take the rooftop?
Well, that's a random question.
"Random"? It's not random at all.
Was it random, Dad?
No.
That was very smooth.
-Right?
-Yes.
She has no place to stay,
and I want to room with you.
The rooftop is vacant,
so she can stay there.
How smooth was that? It's just perfect.
My goodness.
That makes absolutely no sense.
Woo-hak.
You mixed up the sizes of the rollers.
Mom.
This makes no sense.
It makes no sense
for a reporter to organize these rollers.
We need to fix this. How?
The rooftop is vacant,
your salon is hiring,
and Seo is homeless.
It's natural. We can help each other.
Don't you agree?
What's going on between you two?
What do you mean?
Nothing's going on.
Then, just shut up and work.
Or you'll look more suspicious.
So?
You're going to move up there?
-Yes.
-When?
Maybe next Tuesday?
He's going to move here next Tuesday,
so you'll be safe until then.
Don't turn on the lights.
You don't want to get caught.
You didn't need to do this.
I brought some food from the fridge.
You didn't need to do this.
Jeez, are these grapes?
They look so cute and plump.
You must've never seen
Shine Muscats before.
They came out
while you were on that island.
Gosh, that's sweet.
It's seedless too.
What will you do
once you meet Yoon Ran-joo?
Do you have a plan?
Why are you so fixated on the future?
You always ask me,
"And then?"
"What's your plan?"
That's all that you ask.
Because it's only natural
to plan ahead as an adult.
A few days
before I ended up on the island…
It was probably June 2007.
I received a phone call.
Mr. Lee Seo-jun
from Sugar Agency is calling.
He watched your video.
Take it. Hurry.
It was from Ran-joo's agency.
The manager said
that Ran-joo wanted to see me.
Hello?
Well…
No, it's such an honor. But…
But that's when I was concerned
about the future.
If I went to see her,
then my father would find out eventually.
Then, I'd be beaten for it.
Then, he'd destroy my MP3 player.
And then…
That's why…
Seoul?
I'm afraid that would be difficult.
I'm sorry.
Then, a few days later,
I was stranded on a deserted island.
On the island, I kept going back
to that phone call.
"I should've told him that I'd go."
"Then, I would've gotten
on the ferry sooner
and not have ended up here."
On the island, I regretted that decision
at least 10,000 times.
If you keep worrying
about the future,
then you'll end up
with just as many regrets down the road.
From now on, I'm going to do
whatever I want in that moment.
So you're adamant about meeting Ran-joo.
Is this my fate?
People around me just don't listen to me.
Both Bo-geol
and you.
Is Bo-geol your younger brother, mister?
How old is he?
He's one year younger than me
and a year younger than you.
Meaning we're the same age.
Why do you call me "mister"?
Then, how else should I address you?
There are many options.
Mr. Kang. Reporter Kang.
Better yet,
let's drop the honorifics.
How does "Woo-hak" sound?
Sure.
Let's do that, Woo-hak.
Sounds good, Mok-ha.
Also,
here.
Mister, is this--
I mean, is this your business card?
Yes.
But don't call me all the time. I'm busy.
I highly doubt that.
Why don't you come with me
when I go see Ran-joo tomorrow?
You want me to continue
taking care of you?
You lack such shame.
"Lack"?
What did I lack?
You lacked maturity, manners, and thought.
What?
What is it?
I felt this way from the moment we met,
but you remind me of Ki-ho.
I do?
It's been 15 years,
so I don't have the sharpest memory.
But you're similar
in age, personality,
and vibe.
Bo-geol.
What?
I keep coming up
with strange assumptions.
Assumptions? Like what?
What if Jung Ki-ho,
the friend Mok-ha is looking for,
is actually me?
What are you talking about?
She said Ki-ho and I were similar.
We're the same age
and have the same personality.
Doesn't that give you chills?
Have an open mind.
It actually makes sense.
I used to be Jung Ki-ho.
Mok-ha and I used to be friends.
And I became Woo-hak after we separated.
But I don't recognize her. Why?
Because I lost my memories.
I don't remember anything
prior to high school,
because I hurt my head.
"Jun-sang."
What?
That's the story of Jun-sang
from Winter Sonata.
Right. So it does make sense.
That's why that drama became huge.
Stop hanging out with her.
You've become even stranger these days.
Then explain it to me,
so it won't become strange.
Explain what?
Is my name
really Kang Woo-hak?
Of course, it is.
Don't ask me. Just check your ID card.
Was that also my name in middle school?
You would know
what kind of person I used to be
and what my name was.
Your name?
Yes, my name.
Jun-sang. Kang Jun-sang.
Hey!
Stop living in dramas
and come to your senses.
You were always Kang Woo-hak.
To start a fire,
I used to work like a dog for half a day.
But this only takes
one second.
Just one second.
How futile.
What a waste of my time.
That's okay.
It's all right. Drunk driving
is barely a blemish these days.
Of course.
I'll empty my cue sheet next month
and wait for you.
Okay.
Goodbye.
Drop Seo Chan-ki.
I'm on a diet, Dong-min. No sugar for me.
Okay. No sugar.
Should we add him for next month?
No, his reputation is ruined
for drunk driving.
Just remove him entirely.
What should I do?
Who will fill in for Chan-ki now?
Find a substitute
who's past their heyday,
is clean of scandals, and is free now…
Is that even possible?
What do I do?
I'm craving sweets.
Dong-min, make mine sweet.
Okay. No sugar but sweet.
What about Sim Jae-hee?
She's trending nowadays
thanks to a soundtrack song.
Our program is called Heyday Again.
Did Jae-hee ever have a heyday?
Don't be absurd.
It's sweet.
Dong-min, I said I was on a diet.
I only added a low-calorie sweetener.
Good.
This is it.
Is there anyone perfect like this coffee?
What about Yoon Ran-joo?
Yoon Ran-joo?
Yes, Yoon Ran-joo.
She did have her heyday.
She definitely had
that diva aura about her.
But she's all washed up now.
Rumor has it
she's a drunk and a heavy smoker.
She won't do. She's too unpopular now.
Ever checked out her songs?
I had no opportunity for that.
Look for her videos online.
There would've been videos of her
had she been any good.
But I bet there are no videos.
Hey, I found one.
What? Really?
She's the guest singer
at Deodeok Village Festival today.
Where is the venue?
Sangyeon Park Gym.
I don't understand.
Could you repeat that, please?
Sangyeon Park Gym.
I will guide you to Sangyeon Park Gym.
-The estimated time…
-It only understands the Seoul dialect.
I thought you were busy and had no time.
My schedule suddenly freed up.
-All of a sudden?
-That's right.
My article got killed,
so I had a lot of time on my hands.
That's why I'm here.
What is that?
These are
lemon green balloons.
They're Ran-joo's official balloons.
I'm handing them out
to those who don't have any.
Mok-ha, do you have to go?
You'll be disappointed.
Yoon Ran-joo isn't what she used to be.
I know.
I looked her up as soon as I came here.
So why are you going?
You can dance elsewhere.
I'm sorry.
Ran-joo.
This is a gift from the sponsor.
What is it? Whiskey? Wine?
DEODEOK WINE
You can have it.
Ran-joo, about today's performance…
They want you to sing live instead.
The music player is broken.
What?
I'll try to find
some backup singers right now.
Exactly how?
No one here would know my song.
This is driving me nuts.
Hey.
Put that on the table.
What?
-This?
-Yes, hurry.
Hurry.
Open it.
Let's do this.
The sponsor wanted me to drink
before my performance.
I couldn't refuse their kindness,
so I drank it anyway.
What--
So I ended up
ruining my performance. Okay?
Come on, Ran-joo.
It wasn't me.
The sponsor ruined it.
Make sure you wave properly, okay?
With all your might! Thank you!
Ma'am!
-Put this under your chair.
-Well done.
-Then…
-Well done.
When Ran-joo appears on stage,
shake them like this!
Thank you.
Sir!
Sir!
You know Ran-joo, right? When she appears…
This was it?
This is what you wanted to do
when you meet her?
Who brings balloons
to a performance these days?
They're Ran-joo's official balloons.
I handed them all out already.
This place is teeming with people.
Hey. Don't just sit there.
Hand them out with me.
Do you think I'm a pushover?
Why should I do this?
Hurry up. There are so many of them.
It'll be sundown soon.
Goodness.
-Here!
-Hey!
They're for Ran-joo!
Shake these balloons!
Shake them!
There's not much mentioning
of "deodeok" in the script.
Can we do something about it?
We'll try.
After all,
this is the Deodeok Village Festival.
Of course.
Excuse me.
Please remove the part
about her singing skills
and find us some backup singers.
How can we find them right now?
You never mentioned a live performance.
Ran-joo has a cold,
so she can't sing well.
What is this?
You got the mayor
of the county's name wrong.
We would've been in huge trouble.
Bring me a pen!
Here you go.
Just calm down.
Wait.
I can't do this anymore.
Excuse me.
You must be Ran-joo's manager.
Yes. Why do you ask?
Are you looking for a backup singer?
Are you?
Ms. Yoon, please get ready.
Okay.
Ran-joo!
-Why are you so red?
-What?
Is it the makeup?
It has to be.
You're not drunk, are you?
No, I'm not.
I'm barely tipsy.
Their deodeok wine is incredible.
No wonder they hold a festival for it.
Ran-joo, listen carefully to me.
I just found an incredible singer
who'll sing instead of you.
I listened to her sing,
and she sounds just like you.
She's your fan,
so she knows all of your songs.
I have no fans.
You do, okay?
Ran-joo.
Turn off your microphone
when you get on stage.
Just lip sync to her singing.
She'll do the singing for you. Got it?
As if there will be anyone
who will listen to me sing.
You really work so hard. Thanks.
Ran-joo.
That performance was
as impactful and fun as deodeok.
-You agree, don't you?
-Do you want some water?
-I'm not drunk.
-Breathe.
You know I'm a good judge, right?
This next guest
also enjoys eating deodeok.
That's the secret
to her amazing singing skills.
I told them to omit that part.
Breathtaking charisma.
Incredible singing skills.
-Korea's number-one diva!
-I'll be back.
-You can do it.
-It's Yoon Ran-joo.
Give her a round of applause.
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-I must be totally drunk.
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-I'm seeing things.

-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo still got it.
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-You're right.
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
Hurry up already.
Ran-joo, behind you.
Then, I'll move to Seoul.
I'll go there and meet Ran-joo.
And then?
"And then?"
And then…
And then, I'll…
I'll freeze on the spot.
I won't be able to breathe.
She has a breathtaking aura about her.
But you see, I'll be focused
as I sing.
Even the stars had disappeared that night
No one listened to me
It felt like time had stopped
But that couldn't erase my hope
I gather all my earnest wishes
And release them into the sky
I believe these dark days
Will come to an end
Just like how the sun rises every day
I won't be sad anymore
The day I get to hold your hand
I dream about it
I won't fall down anymore
You'll come to me like a miracle
I believe it
The reason why I stayed strong
Even while weathering the storm
The reason why I stayed on my feet
Even in the pouring rain
Oh, my life
Oh, my dream
My love
I won't be sad anymore
Yoon Ran-joo's incredible.
She sings even better than she used to.
I dream about it
I won't fall down anymore
You'll come to me like a miracle
I believe it
I hope one day in the near future
We can look up at the clear, night sky
And smile at the stars
I hope one day in the near future
We can share the same dream as we walk
Together
Someday
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
Ki-ho.
I don't know what the future holds.
But one thing I know for sure
is that I will never
regret this moment.
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
What's your name?
Mok-ha.
My name is Seo Mok-ha.
Goodness.
Ran-joo.
Ran-joo…
The 15 years
that seemed so futile…
Ran-joo.
…finally found meaning.
CASTAWAY DIVA
You were always Kang Woo-hak.
Is it a coincidence
that we are the same age?
Yes, it is.
Was it also coincidence
that I found Mok-ha?
Yes, it was.
Then, what about this?
What is it?
I found it on Ki-ho's desk.
"If you wish for something
with all your heart,
one way or another,
it'll come true one day."
"And it'll happen in an unexpected way."
Ki-ho's mom said this to him.
And this is something
our mom always says as well.
Is this also a coincidence?
Or is it fate?
You're not Jung Ki-ho.
I must be a rebel like you said.
I was unsure until a while ago.
But your answer assured me.
I am Jung Ki-ho.
Woo-hak.
I sent Mok-ha to a deserted island,
and I was a bad kid
who reported my own dad.
I was that boy.
No, that's not you.
What's the first thing Ki-ho would do
when he sees Mok-ha again?
That's what I'm going to do.
I thought you were busy and had no time.
My schedule suddenly freed up.
-All of a sudden?
-That's right.
There's something
I've always wanted to ask you.
What is it?
The song is just incredible.
I'm your
From now on, call me your mentor!
I'm going to do as much legwork as I can
and help her sell
a total of 20 million albums.
Your audition date is set.
You said she was 31.
It just doesn't make any sense.
Don't you want to find Ki-ho?
You do the singing.

Hey, Bo-geol!
Coming.
Let's have breakfast, Bo-geol.
Okay, I'm coming.
EPISODE 2
Woo-hak.
Kang Woo-hak!
Savage Kang!
Get up already!
He came home so drunk
he's still passed out.
Jeez, tell me about it.
He shouldn't have had so much to drink.
Bo-geol, go wake your brother up.
Okay.
Why did you take it down?
I wanted to avoid real estate fees.
I'm going to take the rooftop room.
Why? What about your room?
Brothers in their thirties
sharing a room is a bit gross.
But still…
-You think I'm gross?
-Don't put words in my mouth.
I mean grown siblings
sharing a room is gross.
-Isn't that my underwear?
-I bought the same ones.
Just answer my question.
You think I'm gross?
Of course. You think he'd adore you?
You ran out of things to copy,
so you bought the same underwear?
Mom.
Hold on.
Don't raise your voices
before breakfast. Go and sit.
Bo-geol.
-Do you really want the rooftop room?
-I do.
And you want to room with him?
-Yes.
-Gosh, what do we do?
Then, Woo-hak.
Go to the rooftop with him.
-Honey.
-Dad.
-Nice, Dad.
-Yes.
-I'm not moving up there.
-Me neither.
-Woo-hak.
-I have separation anxiety.
Are you volunteering this weekend?
Which island? I'll come.
You said you hate volunteering,
boats, and getting dirty.
I love it.
I love boats and getting dirty.
I'm born to volunteer.
What?
It feels nice to ride--
Stop! Stop throwing up!
-What are you doing?
-Good gear's important for volunteering.
I'll show you where all the trash is.
You just go pick it up.
Let's walk clockwise along the shore.
Grab a raincoat since it'll rain soon.
-Okay.
-All right.
-Let's go!
-Let's go!
-Let's go.
-Wear your raincoats.
Beautiful.
What in the world…
is that?
Stay back.
Stay away.
Stop!
Don't come near me!
Don't touch it!
Jeez, why did he even come here?
Hey, go away!
Because I told him not to.
What?
He does the exact opposite of what I say.
He's rebellious to the bone.
He was born to be a reporter.
I see.
Stay back. Don't touch--
Don't touch that! Go away!
Darn it!
Why does she keep following me?
Does she know how much that cost?
Woo-hak!
Excuse me!
Hey, you!
Do you know how much that drone cost?
Don't drop it like that!
Ma'am.
That cost over two million won.
I mean…
Look.
Why do you keep--
This isn't…
a dream.
I'm not seeing things.
Are you…
a real person?
What are you doing? Why do you keep--
Are you crying?
What in the world are you…
Thank you…
for finding me.
COINCIDENCE VS. FATE
On this deserted island?
No way.
All by herself?
Wasn't the guy in Cast Away
stranded for four to five years?
Exactly.
How could a woman survive alone
on that island for 15 years?
This tastes so good.
I can't believe no one came to her rescue.
It's not impossible.
Korea has over 2,000 deserted islands.
What about her family?
She has none.
She's an only child,
and both parents passed away.
Just hold on.
The world has changed a lot, right?
I think you're a size 6.
Try them on.
I'll get smaller ones if needed.
Let's buy some shoes once we go ashore.
What's wrong?
Why are you crying again?
It's just that…
I'm just very thankful.
Hold on.
Are you going to cover this?
"A Woman Returns
from a Deserted Island After 15 Years."
It's intriguing.
What? I can't?
It's been tough for her to adjust.
She'll only gain
more attention from the public.
You want me to kill the story?
Would you do it if I told you to?
Sure.
Then, kill the story.
Pilji Island in Jeolla Province
is a deserted island.
In search of trash on this island,
I flew this drone with a camera
and stumbled across this woman.
The woman in this footage, Seo,
fell from Chunsam Ferry 15 years ago.
As a young girl
in ninth grade at that time,
Seo was on the island for 15 years
as she waited to be rescued.
She was miraculously rescued
as an adult at the age of 31.
There was no water or fire.
There was nothing. Just trash.
I dug out potatoes and ate them.
I caught fish and ate them.
That's how
I barely survived.
Pilji Island is 55 km away from the area
where Seo fell from the ferry.
At that time, this island
wasn't included in the search operation.
Seo was immediately taken
to the hospital after rescue
to receive a checkup.
Tests showed that she was in good health.
Left.
The police have stated
they will actively help Seo
with recovering her identity
and receiving a new ID card
so she can readjust into society.
For YGN News, I'm Kang Woo-hak.
Was he born to rebel?
He never listens.
Speak of the devil.
Why the third floor?
Right. You're recording today.
You said you'd kill the story.
You saw?
This is all because of that drone.
They asked me why I broke their property.
I explained what happened.
They said to report on it, so I did.
Then, why did you even ask?
What choice did I have?
I have to obey my superiors.
They want me to do a follow-up story too.
They said my story lacked the basics.
They want me to find out
why she left the island.
I said I didn't ask since it was personal.
But they just won't listen.
They want me to look into it.
Should I take the news desk head on?
What would you do?
Why ask if you're not going to listen?
You never gave me
an answer worth listening to.
Don't tell me you believe him.
What choice do I have?
Should I ask the news desk myself?
Bo-geol. Don't think
I'm being rude for saying this.
You already sound rude.
You're also to blame
for what happened to Woo-hak.
They say being a pushover
makes one a savage.
Who's the pushover, and who's the savage?
You're the pushover, and he's the savage.
He's not a savage.
If we're splitting hairs,
it's the other way around.
Hello.
-Hello, sir.
-Hello.
Let's begin the rehearsal.
THE HOUSE OF SHARED LOVE
I'm here to see Ms. Seo Mok-ha.
Did anyone reach out to her
after the news?
Perhaps her family or friends?
She also asks me every day
if anyone has tried to contact her.
I guess it's a no.
She'd been missing for so long.
She's getting discharged today,
but I feel bad.
Where will she go?
She said she's going to her hometown.
As in Chunsam Island?
Yes.
She'll be all alone there. I'm worried.
She's 31 on the outside,
but she's still 16 deep down
in terms of her education
and relationships.
She probably has no idea
what her future plans are.
She has no adult who can guide her.
I feel bad for her.
Goodness.
Your phone is faster
than the fastest internet out there.
First time seeing a smartphone?
Yes.
Goodness.
You can use that
to watch TV?
Of course.
If you do this, you can watch movies too.
Goodness.
You can also listen to music.
And you can search for things too.
Gosh.
It's too much for me.
You're incredible.
You're a million times more incredible.
Hello, ma'am.
Who else has survived
on an island for 15 years?
-What brings you here?
-Your friend is here.
My friend? Could it be--
It's me. Kang Woo-hak.
I see. Kang Woo-hak.
I mean, hello.
What are those shoes for?
Selling them on Craigslist?
I apologize.
I'm sorry that I wasn't the person
you were waiting for.
I'm also sorry I insisted on escorting you
by car and boat on your way back home.
Thank you.
Then, tell me.
Tell you what?
Everything.
Why did you leave Chunsam Island
and fall into the water?
It's a pretty long story.
I'm a reporter. It's my job to listen.
Where should I begin?
Gosh!
Stop!
Why?
Ms. Seo! Wait…
DEODEOK VILLAGE FESTIVAL
What is it?
Why did you want me to suddenly pull over?
Ran-joo.
"Ran-joo"? Is that your sister's name?
Weren't you an only child?
Ran-joo.
"Yoon Ran-joo."
Do you know her?
She was the start of everything.
"Deodeok"?
I'm telling you.
She left home to see a singer.
Yoon Ran-joo.
She's that singer from the past.
"Girl Runs Away to See a Singer,
Gets Stranded for 15 Years."
That's it for the headline.
Come on.
How can I dig more when there's nothing?
It's already embarrassing.
A fangirl got on a boat to see Yoon
or whatever her name is
without her dad knowing and fell.
That's the truth.
Sure, I'll dig into it.
It's a lovely day
to do meaningless grunt work.
Mister.
Yes?
It's true that I'm a fangirl.
It's true that I left home
to see a singer.
But still!
Her name is Yoon Ran-joo.
She's not someone
you can disrespect like that!
I'm sorry.
Good day, sir.
But there's nowhere to go.
Why does she call me "mister"
when we're the same age?
What lovely weather.
JAE-SIK'S MARINATED CRAB
Was this her house?
-Here's your marinated crab!
-Here it is!
This is a lot for a small size. Enjoy.
Thank you.
Are you here by yourself?
Sir.
It's me.
What?
Who are you? Do you know me?
I'm Mok-ha. Seo Mok-ha.
Goodness. Are you serious?
Dad!
Mok-ha is here. She's come back alive.
Mok-ha?
Goodness.
Are you really Mok-ha?
Yes, I am.
It's been ages.
Just come out already!
Sir, what's the matter?
What does it say?
This is Jae-sik's Marinated Crab,
not Chunsam Island Seafood.
It's mine!
My marinated crab restaurant!
You should've come back alive sooner.
What do you expect now?
You can't just take over
this restaurant we've built
for a decade just like that!
Goodness, sir.
-That's not why--
-Forget it!
You must not know a lot about the law.
But… What's it called again?
It's called adverse possession.
If you possess a vacant spot for a decade,
the government rewards you
for your hard work
by handing over legal ownership to you.
Also, if you've been missing
for over five years,
the government declares you dead.
You're legally dead, Mok-ha.
"Dead"?
The deceased has no right of possession.
The only recognized owners
of this restaurant
are us who are alive and well!
-It's us!
-This is the truth.
By the way, who are you?
Right. I am
YGN reporter Kang Woo-hak.
-Why are you here?
-Don't mind me and keep talking.
-Don't film us.
-Darn it.
By the way, ten years isn't enough
to grant adverse possession.
You must not know the law that well.
Ten years after the owner has died--
Ms. Seo isn't dead.
Look. She's alive and well.
So why do you keep claiming she's dead?
Being missing for even five years
doesn't make you legally dead.
You need to be declared missing
for that to happen.
But she's never been declared dead.
So this woman
is legally alive and well.
Look, I'm…
You must not know the law well.
But what you're doing is trespassing.
You could be slapped
with all sorts of lawsuits.
Okay, bring on your laws.
-I'll report this to the police.
-No, I…
That's enough, mister.
Look.
I didn't come here
to take the restaurant back.
I just had a question.
About what?
Can you tell me what happened to Ki-ho?
Ki-ho? Jung Ki-ho?
Yes.
You see…
Why would you want to know
what that insolent boy is up to?
He's right. He lured you and your father
into a dangerous situation.
That's not true.
He's not insolent.
You just didn't see it.
He became a lunatic after you were gone.
He destroyed
your restaurant's water tanks.
He never went to school
and always stared at the sea.
Then, he got the urge
to run away once again
and did just that.
Not only that,
he reported his own father
for domestic violence.
Officer Jung insisted
that he was innocent.
But the police were merciless.
He was fired immediately that day.
Ki-ho is the worst son ever.
Goodness,
and he's still looking for his son.
After hearing Ki-ho was seen in Seoul,
he abandoned his house
and has been searching Seoul
for his son ever since.
His son left him, but he still loves him.
That's what parents do.
I wonder where Ki-ho is.
He's probably dead.
If not, how could he have gone
unnoticed for 15 years?
IF YOU WISH FOR SOMETHING
WITH ALL YOUR HEART,
ONE WAY OR ANOTHER,
IT'LL COME TRUE ONE DAY
AND IT'LL HAPPEN IN AN UNEXPECTED WAY
He's alive.
Who?
Jung Ki-ho?
I had gone unnoticed for 15 years,
but I'm still alive.
I'm certain that he's still out there.
Don't you resent him?
If it weren't for him,
you might not have been
stranded for 15 years.
If it weren't for him,
fifteen years ago…
I would've been dead…
after getting beaten by my father.
We didn't just run away.
Back then…
we ran away
to survive.
Do those shoes
belong to him?
-One adult ticket for the 5:00 p.m. ferry.
-Make that two.
Buy me a ticket.
But this is your home.
That's not my house.
It is yours.
I explained everything back there.
Will it be one or two?
-One.
-Two.
Look, Ms. Seo.
I told you already.
I didn't come here to settle down.
You're here already, so settle down.
Then, everything I did
would've been in vain.
I got on that ferry to meet Ran-joo.
It was 15 years ago.
I was lost for 15 years
before I came back.
And you want me to settle down here?
Then, those 15 years would mean nothing.
My life
would be so meaningless.
Hey.
Thank you.
This is driving me crazy.
BROTHERS SALON
HIRING
REST DAYS: MONDAY, TUESDAY
Then, she came to Seoul just like that.
She has no plans.
She's a 16-year-old fangirl
in a 31-year-old woman's body.
What's her name? Yoon Ran-joo?
She insists on meeting
that washed-up singer. Then what?
She'll probably be disappointed.
This is all my fault.
I was the first person she met,
so she thinks everyone is
-as nice as me.
-Lift your feet.
Okay.
You missed a spot, Dad.
I told her to return to the shelter.
She said she'd rather sleep outside.
It's cold at night.
She'll get sick sleeping outside.
Speaking of which, Bo-geol,
do you have to take the rooftop?
Well, that's a random question.
"Random"? It's not random at all.
Was it random, Dad?
No.
That was very smooth.
-Right?
-Yes.
She has no place to stay,
and I want to room with you.
The rooftop is vacant,
so she can stay there.
How smooth was that? It's just perfect.
My goodness.
That makes absolutely no sense.
Woo-hak.
You mixed up the sizes of the rollers.
Mom.
This makes no sense.
It makes no sense
for a reporter to organize these rollers.
We need to fix this. How?
The rooftop is vacant,
your salon is hiring,
and Seo is homeless.
It's natural. We can help each other.
Don't you agree?
What's going on between you two?
What do you mean?
Nothing's going on.
Then, just shut up and work.
Or you'll look more suspicious.
So?
You're going to move up there?
-Yes.
-When?
Maybe next Tuesday?
He's going to move here next Tuesday,
so you'll be safe until then.
Don't turn on the lights.
You don't want to get caught.
You didn't need to do this.
I brought some food from the fridge.
You didn't need to do this.
Jeez, are these grapes?
They look so cute and plump.
You must've never seen
Shine Muscats before.
They came out
while you were on that island.
Gosh, that's sweet.
It's seedless too.
What will you do
once you meet Yoon Ran-joo?
Do you have a plan?
Why are you so fixated on the future?
You always ask me,
"And then?"
"What's your plan?"
That's all that you ask.
Because it's only natural
to plan ahead as an adult.
A few days
before I ended up on the island…
It was probably June 2007.
I received a phone call.
Mr. Lee Seo-jun
from Sugar Agency is calling.
He watched your video.
Take it. Hurry.
It was from Ran-joo's agency.
The manager said
that Ran-joo wanted to see me.
Hello?
Well…
No, it's such an honor. But…
But that's when I was concerned
about the future.
If I went to see her,
then my father would find out eventually.
Then, I'd be beaten for it.
Then, he'd destroy my MP3 player.
And then…
That's why…
Seoul?
I'm afraid that would be difficult.
I'm sorry.
Then, a few days later,
I was stranded on a deserted island.
On the island, I kept going back
to that phone call.
"I should've told him that I'd go."
"Then, I would've gotten
on the ferry sooner
and not have ended up here."
On the island, I regretted that decision
at least 10,000 times.
If you keep worrying
about the future,
then you'll end up
with just as many regrets down the road.
From now on, I'm going to do
whatever I want in that moment.
So you're adamant about meeting Ran-joo.
Is this my fate?
People around me just don't listen to me.
Both Bo-geol
and you.
Is Bo-geol your younger brother, mister?
How old is he?
He's one year younger than me
and a year younger than you.
Meaning we're the same age.
Why do you call me "mister"?
Then, how else should I address you?
There are many options.
Mr. Kang. Reporter Kang.
Better yet,
let's drop the honorifics.
How does "Woo-hak" sound?
Sure.
Let's do that, Woo-hak.
Sounds good, Mok-ha.
Also,
here.
Mister, is this--
I mean, is this your business card?
Yes.
But don't call me all the time. I'm busy.
I highly doubt that.
Why don't you come with me
when I go see Ran-joo tomorrow?
You want me to continue
taking care of you?
You lack such shame.
"Lack"?
What did I lack?
You lacked maturity, manners, and thought.
What?
What is it?
I felt this way from the moment we met,
but you remind me of Ki-ho.
I do?
It's been 15 years,
so I don't have the sharpest memory.
But you're similar
in age, personality,
and vibe.
Bo-geol.
What?
I keep coming up
with strange assumptions.
Assumptions? Like what?
What if Jung Ki-ho,
the friend Mok-ha is looking for,
is actually me?
What are you talking about?
She said Ki-ho and I were similar.
We're the same age
and have the same personality.
Doesn't that give you chills?
Have an open mind.
It actually makes sense.
I used to be Jung Ki-ho.
Mok-ha and I used to be friends.
And I became Woo-hak after we separated.
But I don't recognize her. Why?
Because I lost my memories.
I don't remember anything
prior to high school,
because I hurt my head.
"Jun-sang."
What?
That's the story of Jun-sang
from Winter Sonata.
Right. So it does make sense.
That's why that drama became huge.
Stop hanging out with her.
You've become even stranger these days.
Then explain it to me,
so it won't become strange.
Explain what?
Is my name
really Kang Woo-hak?
Of course, it is.
Don't ask me. Just check your ID card.
Was that also my name in middle school?
You would know
what kind of person I used to be
and what my name was.
Your name?
Yes, my name.
Jun-sang. Kang Jun-sang.
Hey!
Stop living in dramas
and come to your senses.
You were always Kang Woo-hak.
To start a fire,
I used to work like a dog for half a day.
But this only takes
one second.
Just one second.
How futile.
What a waste of my time.
That's okay.
It's all right. Drunk driving
is barely a blemish these days.
Of course.
I'll empty my cue sheet next month
and wait for you.
Okay.
Goodbye.
Drop Seo Chan-ki.
I'm on a diet, Dong-min. No sugar for me.
Okay. No sugar.
Should we add him for next month?
No, his reputation is ruined
for drunk driving.
Just remove him entirely.
What should I do?
Who will fill in for Chan-ki now?
Find a substitute
who's past their heyday,
is clean of scandals, and is free now…
Is that even possible?
What do I do?
I'm craving sweets.
Dong-min, make mine sweet.
Okay. No sugar but sweet.
What about Sim Jae-hee?
She's trending nowadays
thanks to a soundtrack song.
Our program is called Heyday Again.
Did Jae-hee ever have a heyday?
Don't be absurd.
It's sweet.
Dong-min, I said I was on a diet.
I only added a low-calorie sweetener.
Good.
This is it.
Is there anyone perfect like this coffee?
What about Yoon Ran-joo?
Yoon Ran-joo?
Yes, Yoon Ran-joo.
She did have her heyday.
She definitely had
that diva aura about her.
But she's all washed up now.
Rumor has it
she's a drunk and a heavy smoker.
She won't do. She's too unpopular now.
Ever checked out her songs?
I had no opportunity for that.
Look for her videos online.
There would've been videos of her
had she been any good.
But I bet there are no videos.
Hey, I found one.
What? Really?
She's the guest singer
at Deodeok Village Festival today.
Where is the venue?
Sangyeon Park Gym.
I don't understand.
Could you repeat that, please?
Sangyeon Park Gym.
I will guide you to Sangyeon Park Gym.
-The estimated time…
-It only understands the Seoul dialect.
I thought you were busy and had no time.
My schedule suddenly freed up.
-All of a sudden?
-That's right.
My article got killed,
so I had a lot of time on my hands.
That's why I'm here.
What is that?
These are
lemon green balloons.
They're Ran-joo's official balloons.
I'm handing them out
to those who don't have any.
Mok-ha, do you have to go?
You'll be disappointed.
Yoon Ran-joo isn't what she used to be.
I know.
I looked her up as soon as I came here.
So why are you going?
You can dance elsewhere.
I'm sorry.
Ran-joo.
This is a gift from the sponsor.
What is it? Whiskey? Wine?
DEODEOK WINE
You can have it.
Ran-joo, about today's performance…
They want you to sing live instead.
The music player is broken.
What?
I'll try to find
some backup singers right now.
Exactly how?
No one here would know my song.
This is driving me nuts.
Hey.
Put that on the table.
What?
-This?
-Yes, hurry.
Hurry.
Open it.
Let's do this.
The sponsor wanted me to drink
before my performance.
I couldn't refuse their kindness,
so I drank it anyway.
What--
So I ended up
ruining my performance. Okay?
Come on, Ran-joo.
It wasn't me.
The sponsor ruined it.
Make sure you wave properly, okay?
With all your might! Thank you!
Ma'am!
-Put this under your chair.
-Well done.
-Then…
-Well done.
When Ran-joo appears on stage,
shake them like this!
Thank you.
Sir!
Sir!
You know Ran-joo, right? When she appears…
This was it?
This is what you wanted to do
when you meet her?
Who brings balloons
to a performance these days?
They're Ran-joo's official balloons.
I handed them all out already.
This place is teeming with people.
Hey. Don't just sit there.
Hand them out with me.
Do you think I'm a pushover?
Why should I do this?
Hurry up. There are so many of them.
It'll be sundown soon.
Goodness.
-Here!
-Hey!
They're for Ran-joo!
Shake these balloons!
Shake them!
There's not much mentioning
of "deodeok" in the script.
Can we do something about it?
We'll try.
After all,
this is the Deodeok Village Festival.
Of course.
Excuse me.
Please remove the part
about her singing skills
and find us some backup singers.
How can we find them right now?
You never mentioned a live performance.
Ran-joo has a cold,
so she can't sing well.
What is this?
You got the mayor
of the county's name wrong.
We would've been in huge trouble.
Bring me a pen!
Here you go.
Just calm down.
Wait.
I can't do this anymore.
Excuse me.
You must be Ran-joo's manager.
Yes. Why do you ask?
Are you looking for a backup singer?
Are you?
Ms. Yoon, please get ready.
Okay.
Ran-joo!
-Why are you so red?
-What?
Is it the makeup?
It has to be.
You're not drunk, are you?
No, I'm not.
I'm barely tipsy.
Their deodeok wine is incredible.
No wonder they hold a festival for it.
Ran-joo, listen carefully to me.
I just found an incredible singer
who'll sing instead of you.
I listened to her sing,
and she sounds just like you.
She's your fan,
so she knows all of your songs.
I have no fans.
You do, okay?
Ran-joo.
Turn off your microphone
when you get on stage.
Just lip sync to her singing.
She'll do the singing for you. Got it?
As if there will be anyone
who will listen to me sing.
You really work so hard. Thanks.
Ran-joo.
That performance was
as impactful and fun as deodeok.
-You agree, don't you?
-Do you want some water?
-I'm not drunk.
-Breathe.
You know I'm a good judge, right?
This next guest
also enjoys eating deodeok.
That's the secret
to her amazing singing skills.
I told them to omit that part.
Breathtaking charisma.
Incredible singing skills.
-Korea's number-one diva!
-I'll be back.
-You can do it.
-It's Yoon Ran-joo.
Give her a round of applause.
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-I must be totally drunk.
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-I'm seeing things.
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!

-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo still got it.
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-You're right.
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
Hurry up already.
Ran-joo, behind you.
Then, I'll move to Seoul.
I'll go there and meet Ran-joo.
And then?
"And then?"
And then…
And then, I'll…
I'll freeze on the spot.
I won't be able to breathe.
She has a breathtaking aura about her.
But you see, I'll be focused
as I sing.
Even the stars had disappeared that night
No one listened to me
It felt like time had stopped
But that couldn't erase my hope
I gather all my earnest wishes
And release them into the sky
I believe these dark days
Will come to an end
Just like how the sun rises every day
I won't be sad anymore
The day I get to hold your hand
I dream about it
I won't fall down anymore
You'll come to me like a miracle
I believe it
The reason why I stayed strong
Even while weathering the storm
The reason why I stayed on my feet
Even in the pouring rain
Oh, my life
Oh, my dream
My love
I won't be sad anymore
Yoon Ran-joo's incredible.
She sings even better than she used to.
I dream about it
I won't fall down anymore
You'll come to me like a miracle
I believe it
I hope one day in the near future
We can look up at the clear, night sky
And smile at the stars
I hope one day in the near future
We can share the same dream as we walk
Together
Someday
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
Ki-ho.
I don't know what the future holds.
But one thing I know for sure
is that I will never
regret this moment.
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
-Yoon Ran-joo!
What's your name?
Mok-ha.
My name is Seo Mok-ha.
Goodness.
Ran-joo.
Ran-joo…
The 15 years
that seemed so futile…
Ran-joo.
…finally found meaning.
CASTAWAY DIVA
You were always Kang Woo-hak.
Is it a coincidence
that we are the same age?
Yes, it is.
Was it also coincidence
that I found Mok-ha?
Yes, it was.
Then, what about this?
What is it?
I found it on Ki-ho's desk.
"If you wish for something
with all your heart,
one way or another,
it'll come true one day."
"And it'll happen in an unexpected way."
Ki-ho's mom said this to him.
And this is something
our mom always says as well.
Is this also a coincidence?
Or is it fate?
You're not Jung Ki-ho.
I must be a rebel like you said.
I was unsure until a while ago.
But your answer assured me.
I am Jung Ki-ho.
Woo-hak.
I sent Mok-ha to a deserted island,
and I was a bad kid
who reported my own dad.
I was that boy.
No, that's not you.
What's the first thing Ki-ho would do
when he sees Mok-ha again?
That's what I'm going to do.
I thought you were busy and had no time.
My schedule suddenly freed up.
-All of a sudden?
-That's right.
There's something
I've always wanted to ask you.
What is it?
The song is just incredible.
I'm your
From now on, call me your mentor!
I'm going to do as much legwork as I can
and help her sell
a total of 20 million albums.
Your audition date is set.
You said she was 31.
It just doesn't make any sense.
Don't you want to find Ki-ho?
You do the singing.
