18 YEARS AGO
AT A BAR
-I'm soju!
-I'm a peanut!
All right, red ginseng!
-Encore! Red Ginseng!
-Encore! Red Ginseng!
-You and you.
-All right, you!
Young-do. Have a drink with us.
Okay, I'll come back later.
-Where are you going?
-I'll be back.
-Have fun.
-You better come back.
RESTROOM
You.
Stop seeing her.
Hey, it's Kang Da-jeong.
Hey, it's her.
Sociopath.
Gosh. I thought I wouldn't be able
to see you before I left, but I was wrong.
I'm glad I waited for you.
You're not avoiding me
because you're embarrassed, are you?
Because I caught you
pretending to be busy?
No, I'm not.
Then why are your ears red?
Because I ate a mailbox on my way here.
God, that's so adorable.
Oh, thank you.
My feet were swollen
from running around all day,
but your cheesy reply just shrank them.
I feel like I can go back to work now.
Hold on. Your feet are swollen?
Stop looking at my feet.
It must've been a long day.
Why did you touch my head?
Will you accept this rose?
More trash?
You said flowers wither,
are prickly, and can't be recycled.
So I brought this. It's a paper rose.
Here.
It won't wither, it's not prickly,
and it's recyclable.
You could also jot things down on it.
EPISODE 2
Maybe I shouldn't fix it after all.
PSYCHIATRIST JU YOUNG-DO
-Hi.
-Hello.
Yes! I got the king worm!
Check this out. Hey, look.
-Hey.
-What?
-Come with me, please?
-I said no.
-You just need to drive.
-I don't want to.
Fight outside.
If it's urgent, take her.
She's useless.
I can hear you. What is it?
She drives 80km/h on the highway.
Forget it.
What's wrong with that?
You shouldn't have gotten
your license revoked.
-I had no accidents for a decade.
-I'm repenting.
Then don't mock my safe driving.
I really need to see her today!
Then just let me drive you!
Who do you need to see?
Date of birth.
-November 11, 1988.
-Not you.
We're here because of him.
-Yes, me.
-No, it's you.
Date of birth.
-I was born in 1988.
-Born 1988.
On March 29.
That's the lunar date.
Everyone around you has it easy
and walks on easy paths,
but every path you've faced
is uphill, isn't it?
You climb with all your might
lest you slip, and when you finally see…
Right, a ladder.
When you finally see a ladder,
someone drags you down.
It could be your parents
or a guy you're seeing.
It's not that bad.
Hey.
What would that make my mom?
Endure a bit more pain.
There's more pain?
My sweet child.
I'm a little too old to be called a child.
Listen carefully.
There's something glistening
in front of you,
and darkness below your feet.
And there's a sharp sword in the wind.
-I made the appointment,
-She's gifted?
-but she didn't care.
-She only talked nonsense.
I could've just bought a Magic 8-Ball.
I could've visited Young-do.
The ball would've given me
the same answers.
Young-do is much more competent.
He guessed everything about you right.
Not really.
"Not really"?
You grabbed him by his collar
because you were surprised.
A legless bird, a trash magnet,
a black cat, and a red foxtail.
You probably watered them
until their roots rotted.
Whether it's dating or growing plants,
you give them every piece of you.
Don't see him.
Competent, my foot.
"Year 2003,
Anam-dong, high school student."
What are you looking for?
I'm not getting anything.
Should I search all of Seoul?
What are you looking for?
I saw something eighteen years ago.
And it's bothering me.
But why now?
Goodness.
You're eagerly looking for a case
that hasn't even been known.
What a proactive investigation.
-You're a real detective now.
-Hey.
Don't do that. Don't.
This is the final round.
Ahn Ga-yeong or Jeon Ji-hyun?
This is hard. Who should I pick?
Ahn Ga-yeong is my type, but…
She has a bad reputation.
Jeon Ji-hyun is perfect,
but she likes hiking.
I prefer the beach to the mountains.
Okay. I'm sorry.
Okay.
You think I'm your slave, you asshole?
How dare you swear at me?
My manager will hear about this.
I can swear at the customers
after they've hung up, right?
Welcome…
A-ri, I'm taking out the trash.
Can you cover for me?
Okay.
No, let me.
What would you like to order?
There's no tiramisu, baby.
You're right. Do you have any?
-Not yet.
-Do you know when you will?
-No.
-Can you check?
Hold on.
-Have a bite of this cheesecake.
-No.
Why not?
Hello, sir.
When will you deliver the tiramisu?
You told me not to order any.
I understand, sir.
Why are you using honorifics?
Who are you talking to?
Okay, sir.
What?
Hello?
Eun-ha.
I'm afraid they won't be delivering any.
Not tomorrow. Not the day after tomorrow.
We won't be getting any.
-But I came here for that.
-What should we do?
How about carrot cake?
I hate carrots. Give them to the rabbits.
Okay, the rabbits can have them.
Bad carrot cake. Go away.
I'm feeling down.
Should I have a macchiato?
What if I gain weight?
We can go run after this.
I hate running. Leave that to the horses.
Okay. Run, horses!
Welcome.
Da-jeong won't be getting off work
anytime soon.
I purposely came early.
I don't want her to think I'm a stalker
for real.
We allowed you to film at our hotel
despite the inconvenience
because we wanted
to promote something as well.
And it's all written here.
"List of things that can't be replaced.
Number three, amenities."
That's why we're asking you
for permission like this.
The writer hates product placements,
so we barely added in that condition.
-Hello.
-Could you please help us out?
I empathize with you
-as a fellow laborer.
-Hello.
But that item is being used by our…
competition.
Hello.
Let's make this quick.
I didn't get much sleep last night,
so my eyebags will get worse and worse.
It won't be easy to touch it up.
Why don't you just add a scene of me
washing my hands tomorrow?
"It's fragrant and moisturizing."
I'll improvise a line.
-But the writer said--
-Let me talk to them.
Here.
Good luck.
Oh. Thanks.
Hello? Hi, have you eaten yet?
You had jjamppong? God, I love it too.
What did you have for lunch?
Donuts.
I also wanted to drink some water,
but my mom didn't let me.
See? She keeps telling
absurd lies like this, doctor.
When did I not let you drink water?
And what donut?
You're not eating anything lately.
Why?
-Well…
-The doctor
told me not to eat.
That's ridiculous.
She decided to go on a diet on her own.
That's why.
She keeps telling ridiculous lies.
This is a mental illness, right?
Have you been dieting for a while?
Sorry?
Stop playing innocent.
She's always on a diet
but secretly eats.
I see.
Brain damage due to lack of nutrition
could lead to short-term memory loss.
It's called Korsakoff's syndrome.
Since she can't remember,
she makes up replies
with things around her.
Such an illness really exists?
Do you remember the color
of the taxi you rode today?
-Purple.
-I see.
-What about yesterday's taxi?
-Sky blue.
It's neither a mental illness nor lying.
Have a well-balanced diet
and plenty of vitamin B.
I asked to have a word with you
because you seem to lack trust in her.
We've spent a hefty amount of money
on diet pills.
But to no avail.
She always eats behind my back.
At times, she eats five packs
of ramyeon at once.
No one trusts her. Not even herself.
But she's desperate to lose weight.
What do you think is the easiest way
to relieve her stress?
Eating.
If someone tells you
that you'll trip for sure
and watches intently from the side,
you'll stiffen trying not to trip.
And it'll only make you trip more easily
and get injured more severely.
I know you're frustrated,
but stop pointing out her mistakes.
Support her.
PSYCHIATRIST JU YOUNG-DO
What happened to the pot I gave you?
See? It's over there.
Exactly. Why is it over there?
Hurry up.
I have to see a patient in ten minutes.
Don't you worry.
A suicidal person
will still remain suicidal,
and a lunatic will still be crazy
even if you're late.
This is more urgent.
Go consult your psychiatrist, not me.
Since I know you well already,
I won't listen to what you say as it is
and will nag you about the most trivial--
There's someone I like.
Okay.
Can you not make it obvious
that you're happy?
If it doesn't work out, I may whine again
about feeling suicidal.
He fell head over heels for me,
but it makes no sense.
He's an idol singer.
He's so young and popular. He's crazy.
I don't know many idol groups.
BTS, EXO, K Men.
-That's all--
-It's K Men.
I only know one member.
-Patrick? The most popular--
-It's him.
But you're just as popular.
-The age gap isn't--
-Nine years.
It's not even a decade.
I actually subtracted one year
because I was embarrassed.
Well, in any case, he's an adult.
-He must've finished military--
-Not yet.
Oh, dear.
Should I not go for him?
Why not? Because of what I just said?
Excuse me.
Don't you know me? Have you forgotten?
I'm like a ticking time bomb.
If he finds out what I'm like,
he'll run for his life.
He'll push me away.
I'll be too old and frail to get back up.
I'll stay on the ground
for a very long time.
It's ridiculous
that I still want to pursue this.
I must be crazy.
It's been well over a decade
since you truly liked someone, right?
We got married six years ago,
and I actually liked you.
And you married me because I was suicidal.
That's not true.
I see.
Is that why we slept in separate rooms?
Is that why whenever I came to you
feeling horny,
you'd flee to the study and lock the door?
I don't think you're intimidated
by the fact
that he's young and famous.
You're just looking for reasons
not to fall in love
since you're scared of getting hurt.
Is that why
you're not dating anyone either?
Because you're afraid?
Hello.
Please sit down.
The biggest fear you feel
when you fall in water
is not that you can't swim
but that you don't know
how deep the water is.
So the fear grows for those who have
sunk deep into the water.
The same goes for rivers,
seas,
and love.
Okay.
Okay.
This time, Mr. Hong bought me rice cakes.
Now I'm craving some.
But why rice cakes?
Does he want to get all sticky with me?
I don't want to talk with someone
who has her mind in the gutter.
What do you mean?
I'm just talking about rice cakes.
Your mind is in the gutter.
Fine.
Rice cakes.
Bean rice cakes.
Mom, please. Someone might hear you.
How's it going with the tangerine guy?
Nothing's going on.
Why? Does he not look handsome anymore?
Does he have nasty drinking habits?
It's not that.
I'm neither head over heels for him
nor do I see the need to date anyone.
JU YOUNG-DO PSYCHIATRY CLINIC
There's a package for you.
Hello.
This came to my clinic.
I'm sorry. Why did it go there?
-It looks heavy. I'll--
-It's heavy. Let me--
-It's okay.
-It's okay.
-Let me--
-Let me--
It's not heavy. I can do it.
I didn't say anything.
All right, then.
The pot's looking fine.
Yes. I give it a lot of delicious food.
I feed it Coke and coffee.
Hold on.
Don't worry.
I give it Diet Coke
and decaffeinated coffee.
Oh, dear.
Here.
For me?
-Do you want me to drink this?
-Yes.
Now that you've had some to drink…
Can you hold it more firmly?
It's very unstable.
You must love camping.
Don't you dare do it again.
Do what?
Weren't you going to analyze me again?
Not really.
Speaking of which, I have some questions.
No, thanks.
Then just one question.
Do you know
which high school Mr. Chae went to?
Why do you ask?
He looked familiar. So do you know?
No.
I see.
It's my turn to ask a question, right?
We never agreed on that.
Why did you tell me not to date him?
When you met him,
have you ever found
anything odd about him?
Something that got on your nerves.
You can learn more about someone
when they're naked
than when they're wearing something.
The absence itself tells you
what's important.
Do you find it odd that I'm not bothered
by anything about him?
Is that why you told me not to see him?
I want to tell you in detail,
but I'm still looking into it.
Gosh, I've gotten much more curious
than I already was.
Why do you not want me to date him?
Anyway, this is…
TARP INSTALLATION MANUAL
Do you like me?
Sorry?
Why would you suddenly…
That's… Why do you think so?
That's most plausible.
You suddenly tell me not to date him
but won't tell me why.
Look at you right now.
You're so flustered.
Oh, dear.
-If that's it--
-That's not it.
You're looking away.
This is a normal reaction.
Those who are lying look you in the eye
to see if you believe them.
I even wrote a book about it.
Check it out. I'll lend it to you.
Never mind then.
Thanks for your help.
I've been meaning to tell you this.
This tarp should be fixed to the ground.
Keep it here, and you'll find it in Busan
if a typhoon hits.
A legless bird
and a poleless tarp.
No way.
Either pick it up or work out.
It's not that easy to decide.
Then just get hit.
He came by yesterday.
I never asked.
What are these?
He asked us to treat you like a customer
and not like a friend who has free coffee.
He said he doesn't want you to think
he's a stalker and will be more careful.
He came to say bye
since he won't be coming for some time.
What was that for?
You must've been really mean to him.
That once happy-go-lucky guy
looked miserable.
-I wasn't mean to him.
-Of course not.
I bet you were really harsh
on him instead.
You dated every single guy I didn't
approve of, and you turn him down?
Where do you think you're going?
To bed.
-It's 4:30 p.m.
-I know.
You said flowers wither,
are prickly, and can't be recycled.
So I brought this. It's a paper rose.
It won't wither, it's not prickly,
and it's recyclable.
You could also jot things down on it.
Have you ever seen a lunatic pick herbs?
They'd be digging at one place
then pulling herbs out at another.
No, I haven't.
I've been like that lunatic lately.
I was greedy
then afraid
then doubtful.
I thought about why I was feeling
this way.
It turned out I was feeling uncomfortable.
I felt pressured to reciprocate
your feelings.
You don't need to do that.
I like how things are right now.
But I don't.
It's not that I'm kind.
I just don't want to be the antagonist.
It's easier to be the victim.
I know it's wrong and unhealthy
to have this kind of relationship.
I want to change, and I will.
But that's who I am right now.
I'll make the same mistakes
if I see someone right now.
Then…
you can change.
I wish that was possible.
The problem is
that the feeling of excitement
comes before trust does.
And…
I realized how terrifying
that rash feeling of excitement can be.
Letting someone into your heart means
that your heart can be
easily broken by them.
No way.
Out of the blue?
It also means you won't let go of them
despite knowing that.
I bought tangerines, kids!
Dad!
Goodness, my dear son.
Have you been well?
All right, let's go inside.
-Dad.
-Let's sit down and eat.
Thank you.
I don't want to get hurt.
I don't want to foolishly bring up
my painful past.
Nevertheless,
I want to be happy.
FLESH AND BLOOD
Yes?
Guess who's here.
-Is Mom in Seoul?
-No.
It's the tangerine guy.
Why would he go there?
Beats me. He just came.
When did he arrive?
How long will he be there?
I'm not sure.
-About 30 minutes--
-No, don't tell me.
-Okay. Then I'll go--
-Is he alone?
-No, don't tell me.
-Fine.
-Then I'll go--
-Who is he with?
No, don't tell me.
Tell me.
No, don't. You better not tell me.
Who is he with?
I'll send you a text.
It's your choice to read it or not.
I'm going back to work.
You're not seeing things.
You're not drunk.
Can you come out for a minute?
I was avoiding you.
You shouldn't have come.
Are you not happy to see me?
What do you think?
I just don't know what you see in me.
I know I'm a decent person,
-but you're head over heels.
-I missed you.
Did you miss me?
Well…
That snowy night…
With the TV
and tangerines…
In that dream of yours,
was there a cat too?
Because I'm planning to get a cat later.
Yes.
Definitely.
There are many of them.
Those with
antisocial personality disorder,
also called sociopaths,
are different from psychopaths.
There's nothing wrong with
the structure of their brain.
However, studies have shown
that their cerebral cortex
reacts differently to average people's.
When average people read
"mother" and "strictness,"
they become more sensitive to the former
because it's related to their emotions.
A STUDY ON THE CHARACTERISTICS
OF A SOCIOPATH
When this individual read
the word "mother,"
blood flow increased
in their temporal lobe.
Such a reaction usually happens
when you're calculating numbers.
In other words,
sociopaths need to recognize and calculate
before expressing emotional reactions
to look like a normal person.
The problem here is that they're quick.
So much so that they often look
much more empathetic than most people.
How was the movie?
I hated it.
Masterpiece, my foot.
It was a train wreck.
Was it that bad?
They copied Rain Man and The Shining
then inserted tearjerkers.
It took up all the spots
so no other movies could premiere.
Gosh, you must be a film enthusiast.
That's why I have so many complaints too.
This is why old movies are the best.
They aren't imitations.
Right. I forgot you like old movies.
Did I tell you that?
You sing that song at the cafe
while secretly making juice.
What was it? "Moon River."
But you only know two words.
What are you talking about?
"A-ri, don't tell Eun-ha.
I'm going to add a lot of strawberries."
Were you staring at me all day
at the cafe?
Didn't you know? I didn't even
watch the movie just now either.
How could you only know
two words to a song?
Be honest. There are songs you only know
one word to, right?
She
English is the only foreign language
you speak, right?
I speak three different languages at work.
Don't get cute.
What did you just say?
Where are you going?
The parking lot's over there.
You're not going home, right?
Because that's the wrong direction.
I know.
Your ears are red again.
-I ate a mailbox.
-That's not tasty.
-Do you like coffee candy?
-Strawberries are the best.
Right? I should throw it away.
-Why would you…
-Let's go.
Why would you put it in his hoodie?
Gosh.
Why do you keep doing that?
-Then have this.
-I want a strawberry one.
-It won't take long.
-Okay.
Isn't it awkward
to sit face to face quietly with me?
No, it's not awkward at all.
Then why are you grabbing your bag
so tightly?
I'm just covering my belly.
But you're not fat.
Where are you looking?
What?
Never seen someone drinking?
It's not that.
I've never seen someone
with such pretty lips drinking.
How do you like it here?
I feel quite dispirited
since you hated the movie.
I hated the movie,
but I enjoyed watching it with you.
The popcorn and the Coke were tasty.
This place is nice too.
-Who ordered coffee?
-I did.
Thank you.
Excuse me. Is that a music box?
Yes. Isn't it unique?
-Would you like to see?
-Yes.
Thank you.
Do you like music boxes?
Should we go get one?
The noodles are cooked perfectly.
I'm glad I came.
About that high school incident
I was looking for…
Yes. Did you find anything?
Wait. What is it you saw?
A high school kid was washing his clothes
in a bar's restroom.
I think there was blood on them.
There was blood on the tissue.
Maybe he fought and got a bloody nose.
Maybe.
But he was only wearing his underwear.
Only his underwear? In a bar's restroom?
Yes.
We locked eyes through the mirror,
and he kept staring at me.
He was neither embarrassed nor flustered.
Damn it. I got goosebumps.
And I think
I felt a similar gaze recently.
If that's true, you must be wary of them.
Those who are shameless
are the most dangerous.
They're capable of anything.
-What are you doing here?
-Did I startle you?
This isn't right.
-Do this again, and I'll teach you--
-I'd love to be taught a lesson or two.
I knew you'd get upset.
I'll wait outside.
Call me when you get off.
You got off work early today.
Are you mad at me?
You should be thankful I work at a hotel.
Had I been a doctor,
you were pretty much grabbing my hand
during surgery.
Had I been a detective,
you were whispering in my ear
during an interrogation.
I'm not mad, but don't ever do that again.
I won't.
I don't know what I was thinking.
Did you expect me
to be surprised and happy?
Did you expect me to giggle
in front of everyone,
shout out, "Yes, he's my man,"
and kiss you?
Is that what you usually imagine?
No, it's not.
I didn't know you liked that.
A date?
This is bad.
Excuse me for a minute.
Are you going to keep chasing me?
Your boyfriend might leave.
He's not my boyfriend.
Keep this a secret.
Fine. I'll just tell people
you're not official yet.
Damn it.
May I clean up your table?
-Sorry?
-Oh, never mind.
I heard you went to a conference.
Is this for me?
No, it's for my mom in Gangneung.
Is that your hometown?
No, it's at the southeast
of Ulleung Island.
Why do you keep
asking meaningless questions?
You must have something to say to me.
-Or something to complain about.
-What makes you think so?
"I'm tearing this instead
since I can't rip your mouth."
That's the vibe I'm getting.
You caught me.
I'll answer your questions honestly.
Go on.
Last time,
you said you were looking for an answer.
About the reason you didn't want me
to date him.
Did you find it?
No, not yet.
It's taking ages.
-Are you doing okay?
-Not bad.
Oh, dear.
What's wrong?
-Sorry?
-Whenever you say that,
it means "Goodness, no way, oh, my god.
This is bad. Oh, no.
What the hell's going on? Damn it."
It includes all of them.
I clearly said not bad.
You don't ask that question
to someone who's obviously doing fine.
When you ask it to someone
who seems to be struggling,
and they say they're doing well,
they're trying to think positively.
"Fine" means that they have no energy to
talk about it and want you to stop asking.
"Not bad" means
that something's definitely going on,
but they don't want to explain it to you.
You're going overboard.
Don't tell me if you don't want to.
But if you want to…
Anytime.
Okay.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
-Then I'll--
-Then I'll--
Thank you for this.
So I brought this. It's a paper rose.
It won't wither, it's not prickly,
and it's recyclable.
You could also jot things down on it.
YONGSAN STATION, 99, 7641
Hello, Detective Ko.
I'm sending you a photo.
Tell me if you recognize any of them.
Sure.
I know both of them. Why?
We received a tip-off
that he's the killer.
So we're looking into it.
Han River Patrol Division arrived
at his house.
The door was open,
and there was a knife in the drawer.
The tip-off must be true.
Detective Park, come with me.
I'm on my way.
YONGSAN STATION, 99, 7641
Hello.
Do you know Ms. Kang Da-jeong's number?
No.
STORAGE LOCKER
Do you like music boxes?
Should we go get one?
There's a movie called Music Box,
and it had one similar to this.
Is it a musical?
Do you want to go watch it?
It's an old movie about former Nazis
getting punished.
That doesn't suit the title.
Do you know Edgar Allan Poe's novel
called The Black Cat?
I do. It's a scary one.
In the movie,
the music box is like the black cat.
The music box points to the real criminal
at the end
and prevents the truth
from getting buried.
INCOMING CALL
06M 5381
I FINALLY FOUND YOU
Who is Chae Jun?
Is he even a real person?
None of this is your fault.
I will be by your side.
You merely can't see the wound.
But the injury is real.
He shouldn't have done
something like that.
Everything falls into place so perfectly,
it's creepy.
Thank you for everything.
Though you probably
already figured it out.
I don't think Choi Jeong-min
is the real culprit.
There's something strange about it all.

18 YEARS AGO
AT A BAR
-I'm soju!
-I'm a peanut!
All right, red ginseng!
-Encore! Red Ginseng!
-Encore! Red Ginseng!
-You and you.
-All right, you!
Young-do. Have a drink with us.
Okay, I'll come back later.
-Where are you going?
-I'll be back.
-Have fun.
-You better come back.
RESTROOM
You.
Stop seeing her.
Hey, it's Kang Da-jeong.
Hey, it's her.
Sociopath.
Gosh. I thought I wouldn't be able
to see you before I left, but I was wrong.
I'm glad I waited for you.
You're not avoiding me
because you're embarrassed, are you?
Because I caught you
pretending to be busy?
No, I'm not.
Then why are your ears red?
Because I ate a mailbox on my way here.
God, that's so adorable.
Oh, thank you.
My feet were swollen
from running around all day,
but your cheesy reply just shrank them.
I feel like I can go back to work now.
Hold on. Your feet are swollen?
Stop looking at my feet.
It must've been a long day.
Why did you touch my head?
Will you accept this rose?
More trash?
You said flowers wither,
are prickly, and can't be recycled.
So I brought this. It's a paper rose.
Here.
It won't wither, it's not prickly,
and it's recyclable.
You could also jot things down on it.
EPISODE 2
Maybe I shouldn't fix it after all.
PSYCHIATRIST JU YOUNG-DO
-Hi.
-Hello.
Yes! I got the king worm!
Check this out. Hey, look.
-Hey.
-What?
-Come with me, please?
-I said no.
-You just need to drive.
-I don't want to.
Fight outside.
If it's urgent, take her.
She's useless.
I can hear you. What is it?
She drives 80km/h on the highway.
Forget it.
What's wrong with that?
You shouldn't have gotten
your license revoked.
-I had no accidents for a decade.
-I'm repenting.
Then don't mock my safe driving.
I really need to see her today!
Then just let me drive you!
Who do you need to see?
Date of birth.
-November 11, 1988.
-Not you.
We're here because of him.
-Yes, me.
-No, it's you.
Date of birth.
-I was born in 1988.
-Born 1988.
On March 29.
That's the lunar date.
Everyone around you has it easy
and walks on easy paths,
but every path you've faced
is uphill, isn't it?
You climb with all your might
lest you slip, and when you finally see…
Right, a ladder.
When you finally see a ladder,
someone drags you down.
It could be your parents
or a guy you're seeing.
It's not that bad.
Hey.
What would that make my mom?
Endure a bit more pain.
There's more pain?
My sweet child.
I'm a little too old to be called a child.
Listen carefully.
There's something glistening
in front of you,
and darkness below your feet.
And there's a sharp sword in the wind.
-I made the appointment,
-She's gifted?
-but she didn't care.
-She only talked nonsense.
I could've just bought a Magic 8-Ball.
I could've visited Young-do.
The ball would've given me
the same answers.
Young-do is much more competent.
He guessed everything about you right.
Not really.
"Not really"?
You grabbed him by his collar
because you were surprised.
A legless bird, a trash magnet,
a black cat, and a red foxtail.
You probably watered them
until their roots rotted.
Whether it's dating or growing plants,
you give them every piece of you.
Don't see him.
Competent, my foot.
"Year 2003,
Anam-dong, high school student."
What are you looking for?
I'm not getting anything.
Should I search all of Seoul?
What are you looking for?
I saw something eighteen years ago.
And it's bothering me.
But why now?
Goodness.
You're eagerly looking for a case
that hasn't even been known.
What a proactive investigation.
-You're a real detective now.
-Hey.
Don't do that. Don't.
This is the final round.
Ahn Ga-yeong or Jeon Ji-hyun?
This is hard. Who should I pick?
Ahn Ga-yeong is my type, but…
She has a bad reputation.
Jeon Ji-hyun is perfect,
but she likes hiking.
I prefer the beach to the mountains.
Okay. I'm sorry.
Okay.
You think I'm your slave, you asshole?
How dare you swear at me?
My manager will hear about this.
I can swear at the customers
after they've hung up, right?
Welcome…
A-ri, I'm taking out the trash.
Can you cover for me?
Okay.
No, let me.
What would you like to order?
There's no tiramisu, baby.
You're right. Do you have any?
-Not yet.
-Do you know when you will?
-No.
-Can you check?
Hold on.
-Have a bite of this cheesecake.
-No.
Why not?
Hello, sir.
When will you deliver the tiramisu?
You told me not to order any.
I understand, sir.
Why are you using honorifics?
Who are you talking to?
Okay, sir.
What?
Hello?
Eun-ha.
I'm afraid they won't be delivering any.
Not tomorrow. Not the day after tomorrow.
We won't be getting any.
-But I came here for that.
-What should we do?
How about carrot cake?
I hate carrots. Give them to the rabbits.
Okay, the rabbits can have them.
Bad carrot cake. Go away.
I'm feeling down.
Should I have a macchiato?
What if I gain weight?
We can go run after this.
I hate running. Leave that to the horses.
Okay. Run, horses!
Welcome.
Da-jeong won't be getting off work
anytime soon.
I purposely came early.
I don't want her to think I'm a stalker
for real.
We allowed you to film at our hotel
despite the inconvenience
because we wanted
to promote something as well.
And it's all written here.
"List of things that can't be replaced.
Number three, amenities."
That's why we're asking you
for permission like this.
The writer hates product placements,
so we barely added in that condition.
-Hello.
-Could you please help us out?
I empathize with you
-as a fellow laborer.
-Hello.
But that item is being used by our…
competition.
Hello.
Let's make this quick.
I didn't get much sleep last night,
so my eyebags will get worse and worse.
It won't be easy to touch it up.
Why don't you just add a scene of me
washing my hands tomorrow?
"It's fragrant and moisturizing."
I'll improvise a line.
-But the writer said--
-Let me talk to them.
Here.
Good luck.
Oh. Thanks.
Hello? Hi, have you eaten yet?
You had jjamppong? God, I love it too.
What did you have for lunch?
Donuts.
I also wanted to drink some water,
but my mom didn't let me.
See? She keeps telling
absurd lies like this, doctor.
When did I not let you drink water?
And what donut?
You're not eating anything lately.
Why?
-Well…
-The doctor
told me not to eat.
That's ridiculous.
She decided to go on a diet on her own.
That's why.
She keeps telling ridiculous lies.
This is a mental illness, right?
Have you been dieting for a while?
Sorry?
Stop playing innocent.
She's always on a diet
but secretly eats.
I see.
Brain damage due to lack of nutrition
could lead to short-term memory loss.
It's called Korsakoff's syndrome.
Since she can't remember,
she makes up replies
with things around her.
Such an illness really exists?
Do you remember the color
of the taxi you rode today?
-Purple.
-I see.
-What about yesterday's taxi?
-Sky blue.
It's neither a mental illness nor lying.
Have a well-balanced diet
and plenty of vitamin B.
I asked to have a word with you
because you seem to lack trust in her.
We've spent a hefty amount of money
on diet pills.
But to no avail.
She always eats behind my back.
At times, she eats five packs
of ramyeon at once.
No one trusts her. Not even herself.
But she's desperate to lose weight.
What do you think is the easiest way
to relieve her stress?
Eating.
If someone tells you
that you'll trip for sure
and watches intently from the side,
you'll stiffen trying not to trip.
And it'll only make you trip more easily
and get injured more severely.
I know you're frustrated,
but stop pointing out her mistakes.
Support her.
PSYCHIATRIST JU YOUNG-DO
What happened to the pot I gave you?
See? It's over there.
Exactly. Why is it over there?
Hurry up.
I have to see a patient in ten minutes.
Don't you worry.
A suicidal person
will still remain suicidal,
and a lunatic will still be crazy
even if you're late.
This is more urgent.
Go consult your psychiatrist, not me.
Since I know you well already,
I won't listen to what you say as it is
and will nag you about the most trivial--
There's someone I like.
Okay.
Can you not make it obvious
that you're happy?
If it doesn't work out, I may whine again
about feeling suicidal.
He fell head over heels for me,
but it makes no sense.
He's an idol singer.
He's so young and popular. He's crazy.
I don't know many idol groups.
BTS, EXO, K Men.
-That's all--
-It's K Men.
I only know one member.
-Patrick? The most popular--
-It's him.
But you're just as popular.
-The age gap isn't--
-Nine years.
It's not even a decade.
I actually subtracted one year
because I was embarrassed.
Well, in any case, he's an adult.
-He must've finished military--
-Not yet.
Oh, dear.
Should I not go for him?
Why not? Because of what I just said?
Excuse me.
Don't you know me? Have you forgotten?
I'm like a ticking time bomb.
If he finds out what I'm like,
he'll run for his life.
He'll push me away.
I'll be too old and frail to get back up.
I'll stay on the ground
for a very long time.
It's ridiculous
that I still want to pursue this.
I must be crazy.
It's been well over a decade
since you truly liked someone, right?
We got married six years ago,
and I actually liked you.
And you married me because I was suicidal.
That's not true.
I see.
Is that why we slept in separate rooms?
Is that why whenever I came to you
feeling horny,
you'd flee to the study and lock the door?
I don't think you're intimidated
by the fact
that he's young and famous.
You're just looking for reasons
not to fall in love
since you're scared of getting hurt.
Is that why
you're not dating anyone either?
Because you're afraid?
Hello.
Please sit down.
The biggest fear you feel
when you fall in water
is not that you can't swim
but that you don't know
how deep the water is.
So the fear grows for those who have
sunk deep into the water.
The same goes for rivers,
seas,
and love.
Okay.
Okay.
This time, Mr. Hong bought me rice cakes.
Now I'm craving some.
But why rice cakes?
Does he want to get all sticky with me?
I don't want to talk with someone
who has her mind in the gutter.
What do you mean?
I'm just talking about rice cakes.
Your mind is in the gutter.
Fine.
Rice cakes.
Bean rice cakes.
Mom, please. Someone might hear you.
How's it going with the tangerine guy?
Nothing's going on.
Why? Does he not look handsome anymore?
Does he have nasty drinking habits?
It's not that.
I'm neither head over heels for him
nor do I see the need to date anyone.
JU YOUNG-DO PSYCHIATRY CLINIC
There's a package for you.
Hello.
This came to my clinic.
I'm sorry. Why did it go there?
-It looks heavy. I'll--
-It's heavy. Let me--
-It's okay.
-It's okay.
-Let me--
-Let me--
It's not heavy. I can do it.
I didn't say anything.
All right, then.
The pot's looking fine.
Yes. I give it a lot of delicious food.
I feed it Coke and coffee.
Hold on.
Don't worry.
I give it Diet Coke
and decaffeinated coffee.
Oh, dear.
Here.
For me?
-Do you want me to drink this?
-Yes.
Now that you've had some to drink…
Can you hold it more firmly?
It's very unstable.
You must love camping.
Don't you dare do it again.
Do what?
Weren't you going to analyze me again?
Not really.
Speaking of which, I have some questions.
No, thanks.
Then just one question.
Do you know
which high school Mr. Chae went to?
Why do you ask?
He looked familiar. So do you know?
No.
I see.
It's my turn to ask a question, right?
We never agreed on that.
Why did you tell me not to date him?
When you met him,
have you ever found
anything odd about him?
Something that got on your nerves.
You can learn more about someone
when they're naked
than when they're wearing something.
The absence itself tells you
what's important.
Do you find it odd that I'm not bothered
by anything about him?
Is that why you told me not to see him?
I want to tell you in detail,
but I'm still looking into it.
Gosh, I've gotten much more curious
than I already was.
Why do you not want me to date him?
Anyway, this is…
TARP INSTALLATION MANUAL
Do you like me?
Sorry?
Why would you suddenly…
That's… Why do you think so?
That's most plausible.
You suddenly tell me not to date him
but won't tell me why.
Look at you right now.
You're so flustered.
Oh, dear.
-If that's it--
-That's not it.
You're looking away.
This is a normal reaction.
Those who are lying look you in the eye
to see if you believe them.
I even wrote a book about it.
Check it out. I'll lend it to you.
Never mind then.
Thanks for your help.
I've been meaning to tell you this.
This tarp should be fixed to the ground.
Keep it here, and you'll find it in Busan
if a typhoon hits.
A legless bird
and a poleless tarp.
No way.
Either pick it up or work out.
It's not that easy to decide.
Then just get hit.
He came by yesterday.
I never asked.
What are these?
He asked us to treat you like a customer
and not like a friend who has free coffee.
He said he doesn't want you to think
he's a stalker and will be more careful.
He came to say bye
since he won't be coming for some time.
What was that for?
You must've been really mean to him.
That once happy-go-lucky guy
looked miserable.
-I wasn't mean to him.
-Of course not.
I bet you were really harsh
on him instead.
You dated every single guy I didn't
approve of, and you turn him down?
Where do you think you're going?
To bed.
-It's 4:30 p.m.
-I know.
You said flowers wither,
are prickly, and can't be recycled.
So I brought this. It's a paper rose.
It won't wither, it's not prickly,
and it's recyclable.
You could also jot things down on it.
Have you ever seen a lunatic pick herbs?
They'd be digging at one place
then pulling herbs out at another.
No, I haven't.
I've been like that lunatic lately.
I was greedy
then afraid
then doubtful.
I thought about why I was feeling
this way.
It turned out I was feeling uncomfortable.
I felt pressured to reciprocate
your feelings.
You don't need to do that.
I like how things are right now.
But I don't.
It's not that I'm kind.
I just don't want to be the antagonist.
It's easier to be the victim.
I know it's wrong and unhealthy
to have this kind of relationship.
I want to change, and I will.
But that's who I am right now.
I'll make the same mistakes
if I see someone right now.
Then…
you can change.
I wish that was possible.
The problem is
that the feeling of excitement
comes before trust does.
And…
I realized how terrifying
that rash feeling of excitement can be.
Letting someone into your heart means
that your heart can be
easily broken by them.
No way.
Out of the blue?
It also means you won't let go of them
despite knowing that.
I bought tangerines, kids!
Dad!
Goodness, my dear son.
Have you been well?
All right, let's go inside.
-Dad.
-Let's sit down and eat.
Thank you.
I don't want to get hurt.
I don't want to foolishly bring up
my painful past.
Nevertheless,
I want to be happy.
FLESH AND BLOOD
Yes?
Guess who's here.
-Is Mom in Seoul?
-No.
It's the tangerine guy.
Why would he go there?
Beats me. He just came.
When did he arrive?
How long will he be there?
I'm not sure.
-About 30 minutes--
-No, don't tell me.
-Okay. Then I'll go--
-Is he alone?
-No, don't tell me.
-Fine.
-Then I'll go--
-Who is he with?
No, don't tell me.
Tell me.
No, don't. You better not tell me.
Who is he with?
I'll send you a text.
It's your choice to read it or not.
I'm going back to work.
You're not seeing things.
You're not drunk.
Can you come out for a minute?
I was avoiding you.
You shouldn't have come.
Are you not happy to see me?
What do you think?
I just don't know what you see in me.
I know I'm a decent person,
-but you're head over heels.
-I missed you.
Did you miss me?
Well…
That snowy night…
With the TV
and tangerines…
In that dream of yours,
was there a cat too?
Because I'm planning to get a cat later.
Yes.
Definitely.
There are many of them.
Those with
antisocial personality disorder,
also called sociopaths,
are different from psychopaths.
There's nothing wrong with
the structure of their brain.
However, studies have shown
that their cerebral cortex
reacts differently to average people's.
When average people read
"mother" and "strictness,"
they become more sensitive to the former
because it's related to their emotions.
A STUDY ON THE CHARACTERISTICS
OF A SOCIOPATH
When this individual read
the word "mother,"
blood flow increased
in their temporal lobe.
Such a reaction usually happens
when you're calculating numbers.
In other words,
sociopaths need to recognize and calculate
before expressing emotional reactions
to look like a normal person.
The problem here is that they're quick.
So much so that they often look
much more empathetic than most people.
How was the movie?
I hated it.
Masterpiece, my foot.
It was a train wreck.
Was it that bad?
They copied Rain Man and The Shining
then inserted tearjerkers.
It took up all the spots
so no other movies could premiere.
Gosh, you must be a film enthusiast.
That's why I have so many complaints too.
This is why old movies are the best.
They aren't imitations.
Right. I forgot you like old movies.
Did I tell you that?
You sing that song at the cafe
while secretly making juice.
What was it? "Moon River."
But you only know two words.
What are you talking about?
"A-ri, don't tell Eun-ha.
I'm going to add a lot of strawberries."
Were you staring at me all day
at the cafe?
Didn't you know? I didn't even
watch the movie just now either.
How could you only know
two words to a song?
Be honest. There are songs you only know
one word to, right?
She
English is the only foreign language
you speak, right?
I speak three different languages at work.
Don't get cute.
What did you just say?
Where are you going?
The parking lot's over there.
You're not going home, right?
Because that's the wrong direction.
I know.
Your ears are red again.
-I ate a mailbox.
-That's not tasty.
-Do you like coffee candy?
-Strawberries are the best.
Right? I should throw it away.
-Why would you…
-Let's go.
Why would you put it in his hoodie?
Gosh.
Why do you keep doing that?
-Then have this.
-I want a strawberry one.
-It won't take long.
-Okay.
Isn't it awkward
to sit face to face quietly with me?
No, it's not awkward at all.
Then why are you grabbing your bag
so tightly?
I'm just covering my belly.
But you're not fat.
Where are you looking?
What?
Never seen someone drinking?
It's not that.
I've never seen someone
with such pretty lips drinking.
How do you like it here?
I feel quite dispirited
since you hated the movie.
I hated the movie,
but I enjoyed watching it with you.
The popcorn and the Coke were tasty.
This place is nice too.
-Who ordered coffee?
-I did.
Thank you.
Excuse me. Is that a music box?
Yes. Isn't it unique?
-Would you like to see?
-Yes.
Thank you.
Do you like music boxes?
Should we go get one?
The noodles are cooked perfectly.
I'm glad I came.
About that high school incident
I was looking for…
Yes. Did you find anything?
Wait. What is it you saw?
A high school kid was washing his clothes
in a bar's restroom.
I think there was blood on them.
There was blood on the tissue.
Maybe he fought and got a bloody nose.
Maybe.
But he was only wearing his underwear.
Only his underwear? In a bar's restroom?
Yes.
We locked eyes through the mirror,
and he kept staring at me.
He was neither embarrassed nor flustered.
Damn it. I got goosebumps.
And I think
I felt a similar gaze recently.
If that's true, you must be wary of them.
Those who are shameless
are the most dangerous.
They're capable of anything.
-What are you doing here?
-Did I startle you?
This isn't right.
-Do this again, and I'll teach you--
-I'd love to be taught a lesson or two.
I knew you'd get upset.
I'll wait outside.
Call me when you get off.
You got off work early today.
Are you mad at me?
You should be thankful I work at a hotel.
Had I been a doctor,
you were pretty much grabbing my hand
during surgery.
Had I been a detective,
you were whispering in my ear
during an interrogation.
I'm not mad, but don't ever do that again.
I won't.
I don't know what I was thinking.
Did you expect me
to be surprised and happy?
Did you expect me to giggle
in front of everyone,
shout out, "Yes, he's my man,"
and kiss you?
Is that what you usually imagine?
No, it's not.
I didn't know you liked that.
A date?
This is bad.
Excuse me for a minute.
Are you going to keep chasing me?
Your boyfriend might leave.
He's not my boyfriend.
Keep this a secret.
Fine. I'll just tell people
you're not official yet.
Damn it.
May I clean up your table?
-Sorry?
-Oh, never mind.
I heard you went to a conference.
Is this for me?
No, it's for my mom in Gangneung.
Is that your hometown?
No, it's at the southeast
of Ulleung Island.
Why do you keep
asking meaningless questions?
You must have something to say to me.
-Or something to complain about.
-What makes you think so?
"I'm tearing this instead
since I can't rip your mouth."
That's the vibe I'm getting.
You caught me.
I'll answer your questions honestly.
Go on.
Last time,
you said you were looking for an answer.
About the reason you didn't want me
to date him.
Did you find it?
No, not yet.
It's taking ages.
-Are you doing okay?
-Not bad.
Oh, dear.
What's wrong?
-Sorry?
-Whenever you say that,
it means "Goodness, no way, oh, my god.
This is bad. Oh, no.
What the hell's going on? Damn it."
It includes all of them.
I clearly said not bad.
You don't ask that question
to someone who's obviously doing fine.
When you ask it to someone
who seems to be struggling,
and they say they're doing well,
they're trying to think positively.
"Fine" means that they have no energy to
talk about it and want you to stop asking.
"Not bad" means
that something's definitely going on,
but they don't want to explain it to you.
You're going overboard.
Don't tell me if you don't want to.
But if you want to…
Anytime.
Okay.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
-Then I'll--
-Then I'll--
Thank you for this.
So I brought this. It's a paper rose.
It won't wither, it's not prickly,
and it's recyclable.
You could also jot things down on it.
YONGSAN STATION, 99, 7641
Hello, Detective Ko.
I'm sending you a photo.
Tell me if you recognize any of them.
Sure.
I know both of them. Why?
We received a tip-off
that he's the killer.
So we're looking into it.
Han River Patrol Division arrived
at his house.
The door was open,
and there was a knife in the drawer.
The tip-off must be true.
Detective Park, come with me.
I'm on my way.
YONGSAN STATION, 99, 7641
Hello.
Do you know Ms. Kang Da-jeong's number?
No.
STORAGE LOCKER
Do you like music boxes?
Should we go get one?
There's a movie called Music Box,
and it had one similar to this.
Is it a musical?
Do you want to go watch it?
It's an old movie about former Nazis
getting punished.
That doesn't suit the title.
Do you know Edgar Allan Poe's novel
called The Black Cat?
I do. It's a scary one.
In the movie,
the music box is like the black cat.
The music box points to the real criminal
at the end
and prevents the truth
from getting buried.
INCOMING CALL
06M 5381
I FINALLY FOUND YOU
Who is Chae Jun?
Is he even a real person?
None of this is your fault.
I will be by your side.
You merely can't see the wound.
But the injury is real.
He shouldn't have done
something like that.
Everything falls into place so perfectly,
it's creepy.
Thank you for everything.
Though you probably
already figured it out.
I don't think Choi Jeong-min
is the real culprit.
There's something strange about it all.
