EPISODE 6
INTO THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE
Thanks.
Are you sure
you don't want to go see a doctor?
No one's here.
The electronic lock is broken though.
He was enjoying it.
He seemed to take pleasure in my terror.
It was as if he was there to watch me die.
And…
that song.
Killing me wasn't his only goal.
He was about to capture the prey
he had missed many times.
He must've been thrilled.
You seem very familiar
with how a murderer thinks.
I'm familiar with how a predator thinks.
My phone.
It's here.
It was on the floor.
It's not him.
It's a different person.
-What?
-He looks nothing like the one
who tried to kill you before.
Then could there be more than one--
Hold on.
Are those scratches on his neck?
The driver also had them.
Could it be
he's changing his face?
That's why I couldn't find him.
I never saw his real face.
What do you mean he changes his face?
Like, with disguises?
Mr. Jeong.
You two are hiding something from me.
How did you save Do-hee?
She was hanging from the railing,
but how'd you end up on the stairs--
If you're so curious,
ask her yourself.
I'm asking you because she won't tell me.
Then I'm sure she has her reasons.
Do-hee has been on her own
since she was a kid,
so she's independent
and keeps her problems to herself.
That's why she's refusing to tell me.
But I must know
exactly what she's going through.
And what gives you the right?
I'm the only one on her side.
What do you even mean
by being on her side?
I hurt when she hurts,
and I'm happy when she's happy.
I can't tell where I end and she begins.
That's what I mean.
So tell me
what she's hiding from me right now.
Don't worry.
You're not the only one on her side.
Are you okay?
What are you doing out here?
Until now,
I'd been taking death too lightly.
Not because I was brave
but because I didn't know
what it was really like to die.
That feeling when the world
you believed in disappears…
and you're left completely alone.
He was…
hovering around me all the time
to kill me.
The security guard I greeted this morning
or the employee I talked to yesterday…
He could be anyone.
Tomorrow,
he'll be out to get me again
with a different face.
Don't fight this dangerous battle
by yourself anymore.
Do-hee.
Let's get married.
You don't have to be all alone.
How about…
you marry me instead?
MIRAE F&B
Don't fight this dangerous battle
by yourself anymore.
Let's get married.
How about…
you marry me instead?
I need some time to think.
SAMPLE DESIGNS
Life sure is a series of choices.
Let's decide based on the response we get
within and outside the company.
Yes, ma'am.
She's weighing me over a mere human?
A YOUNG LEADER,
CEO OF MIRAE INVESTMENT, JU SEOK-HOON
What?
Let's rendezvous. Look behind you.
What's with the rendezvous?
Are we spies or something?
Who knows what that AI-like secretary
might do to me if she sees me?
My neck still aches
from being struck by her.
You exaggerate too much.
Ta-da!
Lunch prepared by Bok-gyu with love.
You may cry if you're touched.
Did Ga-young send you?
-No, she didn't.
-Then why are you here?
You stormed out during a rehearsal
and stayed out all night, so Star Jin was…
No, I was worried sick.
So you are a spy.
Darn it.
Why did you storm out like that anyway?
It was as if your butt was on fire.
Do Do-hee could've really died this time.
But thanks to that, we found out
that the culprit disguises his face.
And then I proposed to Do Do-hee.
But that's no news to anyone, is it?
"Mirae heir turned down
at the speed of light."
Such a killer headline.
That's not it.
I'm the one who did it this time.
I proposed to her.
-Understand?
-What?
You proposed to her?
Why would you do that
after rejecting her at the speed of light?
I guess that's no longer news
to anyone either.
You said it'd be crazy to marry a human.
So why?
What changed your mind all of a sudden?
It's just…
It'd be indecent of me to hold
a married woman's wrist all the time.
What kind of demon is so moral?
Why shouldn't I be?
Let me get this straight.
Does that mean you'll be
a married demon?
What is it?
Once Star Jin finds out,
all hell will break loose.
I held my breath for nothing.
So you think that doesn't concern you?
If you marry Ms. Do,
you'll be breaking the hearts of many.
Let's see here.
My social life…
That's not what's important.
But my dating life is.
Considering the recent events,
I might be in luck.
"The Hermit"?
That's not right.
I must have picked it too carelessly.
I'll try again.
Not this again!
Is the hermit so bad?
Obviously.
It symbolizes an old fossil
long out of the dating game.
It couldn't be worse when I'm up against
the demonic Ms. Do…
Come to my office.
I should've done a reading
on my social life after all.
Ms. Choi, good luck in the room of truth.
She can be so clueless sometimes.
I heard a rumor.
It's a false rumor, ma'am.
I may criticize others to their face,
but never behind their backs.
I heard
that you're an excellent tarot reader.
I apologize…
Pardon?
This one?
No.
That one?
You don't have to be this careful.
Don't jinx it.
"Wheel of Fortune"?
This card
usually symbolizes a reunion.
I need more details.
While our fortune may repeat itself
under heaven's plan and design,
the direction in which it moves
depends on man's will and wit.
That's what it means.
What does this Roman numeral mean?
This is the tenth card.
Number ten is a completion,
symbolizing both the end
and a new beginning.
"The end and a new beginning"?
Is it that good?
I should eat well
so I can survive
when all hell breaks loose.
Whoever made this is an amazing cook.
Bok-gyu, you're officially
ready to get married.
I'm not just saying this
because I made it,
but the meat was cooked perfectly
between medium rare and rare.
Hi, Seok-hoon.
What's that?
What's with the flowers?
Here.
I thought you'd find a bouquet too cheesy.
But I felt bad about proposing to you
so abruptly without any flowers.
It all happened too fast.
Would you like a drink?
Yes. I mean, no.
I already had a drink.
How's your hand?
It's all right.
That's a relief.
This is funny.
Why are we so awkward?
Why are you laughing?
What's so funny?
What could possibly be that funny?
Director Jeong, are you getting jealous?
Jealous?
I never understand why people get jealous.
It was then that he realized
he no longer understood himself.
Here comes Ms. Shin.
Hey, that's mine.
I still remember
what a rebellious teen you were
when we first met.
To think that you proposed to me.
You've come a long way, Seok-hoon.
At least I was in middle school.
You were still in elementary school, Dodo.
To think you'll be getting married.
Unbelievable.
I know.
I find it hard to believe myself.
Me, getting married.
About my proposal.
It wasn't just on a whim.
When I first heard
that you'd gone on a blind date,
my heart dropped.
And I felt so jealous
when you proposed to Mr. Jeong.
That's when I realized
that my feelings for you
were different from before.
I didn't come here
to pressure you or anything,
but I guess I did.
It's just that
it came as a surprise.
I always considered you my family.
Let's be a real family now.
If marriage is what you need,
let's become a family first.
And then we can take our time
figuring out the rest.
I can wait.
Pleasure…
That hits the spot.
You seem to be getting
the hang of work life.
Why do humans drink this crap?
Look, I have a question.
What does it mean when a human
saves someone as their emergency contact?
That means…
that the person
trusts the other more than anyone.
100 TIPS FOR YOUR FIRST LOVE
-Really?
-Yes.
More than anyone?
Hold on.
Then Ju Seok-hoon too?
This is bad.
Give me that.
Page 125.
So you came here to see me, not Do Do-hee?
What an equal business relationship.
You get to address your employer
so informally.
Our relationship was personal
before it turned professional.
You turned her down.
Why are you swaying her now?
What I dislike is marriage, not Do Do-hee.
Don't toy with her emotions.
You know better than anyone
how desperate she is right now.
Unfortunately,
I'm not fooling around either.
Mr. Jeong, Ms. Do is heading out.
Please excuse me. I'm busy.
Remember your place as her bodyguard,
and don't cross the line.
There's no line I can't cross.
Can I ask you something?
Why did you save me and Ju Seok-hoon
as your emergency contacts?
You're my bodyguard,
and Seok-hoon is like family.
What about you?
Why did you propose to me?
You turned me down
at the speed of light before.
Why does everyone ask the same thing?
Just because.
Chairman Noh Suk-min of Mirae Group
will give a speech
to celebrate the groundbreaking.
2023 MIRAE GROUP'S 2ND CHEONAN FACTORY
GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY
I'm overwhelmed
to finally be standing here.
The ambitions that Mirae Group has
for the second Cheonan factory
are immeasurable.
This factory will enable a secure supply
of high-quality packing materials…
What is she doing here?
Honey.
We'll continue to prepare Mirae Group…
Why so surprised?
You never show up at events like this.
You think they're superficial.
Sometimes, superficial actions
can go a long way.
…sincerely thank everyone
who has supported us along the way,
including Mayor Ahn Jin-suk
and Assemblyman Seong U-chan.
Thank you.
The host made a mistake.
You're not the chairman
but the acting chairman.
We don't need to advertise
the unstable situation we're in, do we?
So it wasn't a mistake.
I'm getting married tomorrow.
Let us move on
to the climax of today's ceremony,
the symbolic groundbreaking.
I didn't have time
to prepare wedding invitations.
But you understand, right?
We're family, after all.
You're so clumsy.
My health is a priority,
even in the important moments of my life.
I can't skip my daily routine, can I?
I hope I don't get too nervous
or cry later.
I can do this, right?
Please show your support

LCSB.
Is this right?
It doesn't sound right.
That's what all YouTubers say these days.
LCSB!
Great job, ma'am.
The first part of the ceremony consists of
a processional, bowing,
vows, ring exchange,
declaration of marriage,
celebratory singing and speeches,
recessional, and pictures.
The second part consists of
the couple's entrance, cake cutting,
champagne showers, entertaining--
Let's keep it simple.
I just wanted to live up
to the expectations
of Chairwoman Ju.
Then please simplify it just a tiny bit.
I'll get back to you.
This will be a huge hit.
An exclusive cover of the wedding!
"Do Do-hee drink" already shows up
when we search for your wedding!
That's great.
Let me share a supportive message with you
so you don't get too nervous or cry.
-You chicken?
-Thank you, ma'am.
Ms. Do!
I've never seen you more beautiful.
I mean it, Ms. Do!
How do you feel, Madam Ju?
Are you happy now?
Is this what you wanted?
What's with your dress?
Couldn't you have picked
a more elegant one?
I know this is a marriage of convenience,
but how could you let
your secretary pick your dress?
This is your wedding after all.
It's supposed to reflect your taste.
Your taste is what sets you apart.
You and your nagging.
If you keep this up,
you'll always be an outcast.
You're one to talk.
You're the biggest outcast in our family.
Don't you have anything nice to say?
It's my wedding after all.
Here's something I learned from plants.
When two mutants breed,
they produce non-mutant descendants.
Isn't that incredible?
It's a brilliant puzzle of nature.
Such a combination
is also desirable in marriage.
You two are a good example.
Because both of you
are the biggest mutants ever.
You should've been our officiant.
I ruled you out
because you'd bore everyone.
You darned little brat.
Don't be so harsh on a dead person.
What is it like there?
How are you getting by?
Do you even know where I am?
Let me see.
They say rich people
can't get into heaven,
so that wouldn't be it.
You couldn't be in hell either
because you're a better person
than you let on.
Where in the world did you go, Madam Ju?
Leaving me here alone.
I'm in your memory.
Where else could I be?
Are you ready, ma'am?
Wish me luck with the puzzle.
You did it.
You're here. I didn't expect you to come.
Like I said, we're family.
You look great in your dress.
Mother would've been
so happy to see you today.
Too bad she couldn't be here.
Congratulations. I mean it.
Thank you. I mean it.
Sit over here.
Look at her all triumphant.
When will you break the story?
Today is a happy day.
Let her enjoy it.
It is time to welcome the star of the day.
-Where's my seat?
-Here comes the bride.
Everyone, please give
a warm welcome to the bride.
Why did you propose to me?
Just because.
I don't want you to die.
At this hour, I take you,
the most precious and beautiful bride,
Do Do-hee, to be my wife.
At this hour, I take you,
the most precious and dashing groom,
Jeong Gu-won, to be my husband.
I will stand by you through thick and thin
and always put you first.
I will accept, respect, and love you
the way you are.
A premarital agreement?
I wrote up a simple contract.
"Party A and Party B shall appear…"
"Party A and Party B shall appear
as an ideal couple in public."
"In privacy, both parties
shall respect boundaries
and not intrude into each other's spaces."
"Both parties shall cooperate
to achieve their goals."
"The contract shall expire…
"The contract shall expire…
…when both parties
have achieved their goals."
…when both parties
have achieved their goals."
PARTY A: DO DO-HEE
PARTY B: JEONG GU-WON
The bride and groom will now
make their way back down the aisle,
taking their first step into the world
as a married couple.
It symbolizes their vow
to walk side by side
for the rest of their lives--
Stop!
Hold on a second. I'm sorry.
"The rest of our lives"?
That wasn't part of the deal.
It's a customary expression.
Just play along.
No.
As a demon, I take contracts
and promises very seriously.
The rest of my life is extremely long.
Excuse me.
Remove "the rest of their lives."
Yes, ma'am.
The couple will make their way
back down the aisle.
There's no meaning behind it whatsoever.
The bride and groom, everyone!
Please join me in congratulating them.
He's too handsome to be a bodyguard.
You look beautiful!
Ms. Choi, can't you applaud for real?
I was rooting for another couple.
What?
Me and Mr. Jeong.
What are you so giddy about, Su-ahn?
The higher you fly, the harder you fall.
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
Turn toward each other and show some love!
Try a little harder, will you?
Is this enough?
It's too much. Take it easy.
You're so picky.
Director Jeong really is the best.
You seem to imply
that Ms. Do isn't the best.
That's not what I meant,
but I won't bother correcting you.
Take that.
And that.
Give each other a kiss!
That's private.
I heard you're only marrying him
for the inheritance.
Kissing is no problem.
Is this really necessary?
"Party A and Party B shall appear
as an ideal couple in public."
Fine,
here goes.
Time for some solo shots.
Let's start with the groom.
Seok-hoon.
I guess I fell short.
No way.
You're absolutely perfect.
To me,
you'll always be the family I can rely on.
I'm always on your side, Do-hee.
Thanks.
Even though Mr. Jeong
is equally rude to everyone,
he's still good to you, right?
He isn't someone I can simply label
as either good or bad.
Is this what you're into, Ms. Shin?
Let's go home, babe.
"Babe"?
Do you prefer "honey"?
See you.
Hey, don't gaze at a married woman
with such intense emotion.
There are eyes everywhere!
When will it be my turn?
BIRTH OF THE CINDERELLA MAN…
EXCLUSIVE WEDDING FOOTAGE
She found out already?
I thought she'd be too busy rehearsing.
Ms. Jin, please open the door.
-How long has she been like this?
-Well…
Star Jin, I was going to tell you
-right after the press conference.
-Shut up.
I'm more upset with you than with him.
Their marriage
is just a peaceful means
to maintain his powers.
What's peaceful about marriage?
It's more violent than anything.
You're coming back, right?
I trust you, Star Jin!
She's a professional,
so she'll definitely come back.
Your fingerprint has been registered.
What if the lock breaks again?
This one is basically indestructible.
Come in.
So this is where Do Do-hee lives.
Let me make something clear.
I was only forced to move in here
because the culprit might break in…
Watch out, Do Do-hee!
Did the bastard already break in?
What was he looking for
to make such a mess?
I've been busy preparing for the wedding.
Just sit wherever.
So the place wasn't broken into?
Stop exaggerating.
Nice and homey, don't you think?
Your wrist.
This is what "homey" looks like.
It's finally neat enough to call home.
Can you cook with this?
I want homemade food.
Forget it.
I'm your husband, not your slave.
Do me just one more favor.
I threw away my favorite blouse
by mistake.
How could that possibly happen?
CLOTHING BIN
Not this one.
There it is.
What? It's ruined.
No, it isn't.
-Clean up before you come in.
-Why should I…
That blouse looks familiar.
Hurry up!
That'll wake me up.
SUNWOL FOUNDATION
SUNWOL FOUNDATION IN AN OLD NEWSPAPER
HYEONMYEONG DAILY
JUNE 7, 1977
CONSTRUCTION OF SUNWOL THEATER COMPLETE
Hello, this is Ju Seok-hoon
from Mirae Investment.
I'd like to request some articles
regarding Sunwol Foundation
as I'm considering making an investment.
Do you happen to keep
really old issues in your archives?
JUNE 7, 1977
Grandma? But she's gone.
Everything belongs to my dad now,
and it'll all be mine soon.
Nice tattoo.
It looks good on you.
Noh Do-gyeong.
Is it you?
Did you wash up?
Yes, as you can see.
Did you?
Yes, as you can see.
I washed up.
I've never seen you
dressed like that before.
Likewise.
Hey, so…
Are you going to bed now?
What else is there to do?
You should go to bed.
It's late.
I know.
I'm so tired.
What do you mean,
"What else is there to do?"
So embarrassing.
Good night,
Do Do-hee.
Good night,
Jeong Gu-won.
Young Master!
Young Master Yi-sun!
Your tutor will arrive any minute.
You can't go flower-watching right now.
Your father will have a fit if he finds--
Everyone will be happy
as long as you keep quiet.
Another dream about when I was human?
What's all this noise so early in the…
-morning?
-Good morning.
No.
What are you doing so early?
You're a mess.
What do you mean?
Am I too pretty in the morning?
Yes.
No.
It looks like you got into a fight
that lasted all night.
I hadn't slept so well in forever.
I woke up because I was so hungry.
Want some?
No thanks.
A cup of pour-over coffee,
and I'm good to go.
Pour-over coffee?
I don't have that.
And we don't have the time.
How can you not have it?
Also, why wouldn't we have the time?
It's the weekend.
We have to find the culprit.
I don't want to.
The wedding was way too hectic.
I insist on taking it easy today.
But we're busy with work during the week.
What was his name again?
Ju Seok-hoon or whatever he's called.
He's digging into Mr. Cha, isn't he?
It'd be faster to dig into a living person
than a dead person.
A living person like who?
We don't even know
what he really looks like.
We'll find the person behind all this.
The real culprit behind the disguised one.
I have a suspect.
Who?
Noh Suk-min's son, Noh Do-gyeong.
That's enough, Do-gyeong.
Stop it. He's tapping out.
Let go! Hey!
I said that's enough!
Get him off!
-What's with you?
-Stop!
Let go right now.
Are you okay?
Open your eyes.
Hey, what the hell?
Stop pretending.
You're not going to die.
How much longer?
I'm coming out!
Okay. I'm ready.
No, you're not.
Feeling too famous again?
We have to cover our faces
if we want to tail him.
You stand out too much.
You're practically begging for attention.
Hey, why here of all places?
What's with you these days?
You might kill someone at this rate.
Come back when you're ready.
So what if I kill someone?
Let's go.
Hurry up.
If we teleport now, we'll end up
in the back seat or the trunk of his car.
Please keep a distance.
He's quite wary.
No, we're just sloppy.
-And my presence is too noticeable--
-Let's wait here for a bit.
Where are you going?
Let me go grab an espresso real quick.
Don't be ridiculous.
-Let's go.
-Let's go.
Let's go.
He parks his car, then takes the subway?
Something's definitely fishy.
He really can't stay in one place, can he?
Where's mine?
Could the subway station
be their rendezvous point?
With the disguised culprit.
Another closed room?
You're obsessed, aren't you?
Hold on.
Keep this for me.
I'll have another later.
A storage locker?
He does seem extremely wary.
Let's go.
What the…
"Both parties shall cooperate
to achieve their goals."
Subtitle translation by: Min-jin Kim
My powers flickered.
You're clearly the problem here.
If anyone has a problem, it's you.
Don't blame me.
Is this how marriage is?
Not like you ever could,
but you should never get married.
Don't jinx it!
-Who is this?
-Mr. Who, aren't you coming back in?
Forget it.
You're the one who kicked me out.
He ran out after just one day?
I find you very suspicious, Mr. Jeong.
You're not human, are you?
What if Ju Seok-hoon gets up to something?
Nothing could possibly stop the truth
from coming out.
You should always be careful.
Anyone can have a bad day.

EPISODE 6
INTO THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE
Thanks.
Are you sure
you don't want to go see a doctor?
No one's here.
The electronic lock is broken though.
He was enjoying it.
He seemed to take pleasure in my terror.
It was as if he was there to watch me die.
And…
that song.
Killing me wasn't his only goal.
He was about to capture the prey
he had missed many times.
He must've been thrilled.
You seem very familiar
with how a murderer thinks.
I'm familiar with how a predator thinks.
My phone.
It's here.
It was on the floor.
It's not him.
It's a different person.
-What?
-He looks nothing like the one
who tried to kill you before.
Then could there be more than one--
Hold on.
Are those scratches on his neck?
The driver also had them.
Could it be
he's changing his face?
That's why I couldn't find him.
I never saw his real face.
What do you mean he changes his face?
Like, with disguises?
Mr. Jeong.
You two are hiding something from me.
How did you save Do-hee?
She was hanging from the railing,
but how'd you end up on the stairs--
If you're so curious,
ask her yourself.
I'm asking you because she won't tell me.
Then I'm sure she has her reasons.
Do-hee has been on her own
since she was a kid,
so she's independent
and keeps her problems to herself.
That's why she's refusing to tell me.
But I must know
exactly what she's going through.
And what gives you the right?
I'm the only one on her side.
What do you even mean
by being on her side?
I hurt when she hurts,
and I'm happy when she's happy.
I can't tell where I end and she begins.
That's what I mean.
So tell me
what she's hiding from me right now.
Don't worry.
You're not the only one on her side.
Are you okay?
What are you doing out here?
Until now,
I'd been taking death too lightly.
Not because I was brave
but because I didn't know
what it was really like to die.
That feeling when the world
you believed in disappears…
and you're left completely alone.
He was…
hovering around me all the time
to kill me.
The security guard I greeted this morning
or the employee I talked to yesterday…
He could be anyone.
Tomorrow,
he'll be out to get me again
with a different face.
Don't fight this dangerous battle
by yourself anymore.
Do-hee.
Let's get married.
You don't have to be all alone.
How about…
you marry me instead?
MIRAE F&B
Don't fight this dangerous battle
by yourself anymore.
Let's get married.
How about…
you marry me instead?
I need some time to think.
SAMPLE DESIGNS
Life sure is a series of choices.
Let's decide based on the response we get
within and outside the company.
Yes, ma'am.
She's weighing me over a mere human?
A YOUNG LEADER,
CEO OF MIRAE INVESTMENT, JU SEOK-HOON
What?
Let's rendezvous. Look behind you.
What's with the rendezvous?
Are we spies or something?
Who knows what that AI-like secretary
might do to me if she sees me?
My neck still aches
from being struck by her.
You exaggerate too much.
Ta-da!
Lunch prepared by Bok-gyu with love.
You may cry if you're touched.
Did Ga-young send you?
-No, she didn't.
-Then why are you here?
You stormed out during a rehearsal
and stayed out all night, so Star Jin was…
No, I was worried sick.
So you are a spy.
Darn it.
Why did you storm out like that anyway?
It was as if your butt was on fire.
Do Do-hee could've really died this time.
But thanks to that, we found out
that the culprit disguises his face.
And then I proposed to Do Do-hee.
But that's no news to anyone, is it?
"Mirae heir turned down
at the speed of light."
Such a killer headline.
That's not it.
I'm the one who did it this time.
I proposed to her.
-Understand?
-What?
You proposed to her?
Why would you do that
after rejecting her at the speed of light?
I guess that's no longer news
to anyone either.
You said it'd be crazy to marry a human.
So why?
What changed your mind all of a sudden?
It's just…
It'd be indecent of me to hold
a married woman's wrist all the time.
What kind of demon is so moral?
Why shouldn't I be?
Let me get this straight.
Does that mean you'll be
a married demon?
What is it?
Once Star Jin finds out,
all hell will break loose.
I held my breath for nothing.
So you think that doesn't concern you?
If you marry Ms. Do,
you'll be breaking the hearts of many.
Let's see here.
My social life…
That's not what's important.
But my dating life is.
Considering the recent events,
I might be in luck.
"The Hermit"?
That's not right.
I must have picked it too carelessly.
I'll try again.
Not this again!
Is the hermit so bad?
Obviously.
It symbolizes an old fossil
long out of the dating game.
It couldn't be worse when I'm up against
the demonic Ms. Do…
Come to my office.
I should've done a reading
on my social life after all.
Ms. Choi, good luck in the room of truth.
She can be so clueless sometimes.
I heard a rumor.
It's a false rumor, ma'am.
I may criticize others to their face,
but never behind their backs.
I heard
that you're an excellent tarot reader.
I apologize…
Pardon?
This one?
No.
That one?
You don't have to be this careful.
Don't jinx it.
"Wheel of Fortune"?
This card
usually symbolizes a reunion.
I need more details.
While our fortune may repeat itself
under heaven's plan and design,
the direction in which it moves
depends on man's will and wit.
That's what it means.
What does this Roman numeral mean?
This is the tenth card.
Number ten is a completion,
symbolizing both the end
and a new beginning.
"The end and a new beginning"?
Is it that good?
I should eat well
so I can survive
when all hell breaks loose.
Whoever made this is an amazing cook.
Bok-gyu, you're officially
ready to get married.
I'm not just saying this
because I made it,
but the meat was cooked perfectly
between medium rare and rare.
Hi, Seok-hoon.
What's that?
What's with the flowers?
Here.
I thought you'd find a bouquet too cheesy.
But I felt bad about proposing to you
so abruptly without any flowers.
It all happened too fast.
Would you like a drink?
Yes. I mean, no.
I already had a drink.
How's your hand?
It's all right.
That's a relief.
This is funny.
Why are we so awkward?
Why are you laughing?
What's so funny?
What could possibly be that funny?
Director Jeong, are you getting jealous?
Jealous?
I never understand why people get jealous.
It was then that he realized
he no longer understood himself.
Here comes Ms. Shin.
Hey, that's mine.
I still remember
what a rebellious teen you were
when we first met.
To think that you proposed to me.
You've come a long way, Seok-hoon.
At least I was in middle school.
You were still in elementary school, Dodo.
To think you'll be getting married.
Unbelievable.
I know.
I find it hard to believe myself.
Me, getting married.
About my proposal.
It wasn't just on a whim.
When I first heard
that you'd gone on a blind date,
my heart dropped.
And I felt so jealous
when you proposed to Mr. Jeong.
That's when I realized
that my feelings for you
were different from before.
I didn't come here
to pressure you or anything,
but I guess I did.
It's just that
it came as a surprise.
I always considered you my family.
Let's be a real family now.
If marriage is what you need,
let's become a family first.
And then we can take our time
figuring out the rest.
I can wait.
Pleasure…
That hits the spot.
You seem to be getting
the hang of work life.
Why do humans drink this crap?
Look, I have a question.
What does it mean when a human
saves someone as their emergency contact?
That means…
that the person
trusts the other more than anyone.
100 TIPS FOR YOUR FIRST LOVE
-Really?
-Yes.
More than anyone?
Hold on.
Then Ju Seok-hoon too?
This is bad.
Give me that.
Page 125.
So you came here to see me, not Do Do-hee?
What an equal business relationship.
You get to address your employer
so informally.
Our relationship was personal
before it turned professional.
You turned her down.
Why are you swaying her now?
What I dislike is marriage, not Do Do-hee.
Don't toy with her emotions.
You know better than anyone
how desperate she is right now.
Unfortunately,
I'm not fooling around either.
Mr. Jeong, Ms. Do is heading out.
Please excuse me. I'm busy.
Remember your place as her bodyguard,
and don't cross the line.
There's no line I can't cross.
Can I ask you something?
Why did you save me and Ju Seok-hoon
as your emergency contacts?
You're my bodyguard,
and Seok-hoon is like family.
What about you?
Why did you propose to me?
You turned me down
at the speed of light before.
Why does everyone ask the same thing?
Just because.
Chairman Noh Suk-min of Mirae Group
will give a speech
to celebrate the groundbreaking.
2023 MIRAE GROUP'S 2ND CHEONAN FACTORY
GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY
I'm overwhelmed
to finally be standing here.
The ambitions that Mirae Group has
for the second Cheonan factory
are immeasurable.
This factory will enable a secure supply
of high-quality packing materials…
What is she doing here?
Honey.
We'll continue to prepare Mirae Group…
Why so surprised?
You never show up at events like this.
You think they're superficial.
Sometimes, superficial actions
can go a long way.
…sincerely thank everyone
who has supported us along the way,
including Mayor Ahn Jin-suk
and Assemblyman Seong U-chan.
Thank you.
The host made a mistake.
You're not the chairman
but the acting chairman.
We don't need to advertise
the unstable situation we're in, do we?
So it wasn't a mistake.
I'm getting married tomorrow.
Let us move on
to the climax of today's ceremony,
the symbolic groundbreaking.
I didn't have time
to prepare wedding invitations.
But you understand, right?
We're family, after all.
You're so clumsy.
My health is a priority,
even in the important moments of my life.
I can't skip my daily routine, can I?
I hope I don't get too nervous
or cry later.
I can do this, right?
Please show your support

LCSB.
Is this right?
It doesn't sound right.
That's what all YouTubers say these days.
LCSB!
Great job, ma'am.
The first part of the ceremony consists of
a processional, bowing,
vows, ring exchange,
declaration of marriage,
celebratory singing and speeches,
recessional, and pictures.
The second part consists of
the couple's entrance, cake cutting,
champagne showers, entertaining--
Let's keep it simple.
I just wanted to live up
to the expectations
of Chairwoman Ju.
Then please simplify it just a tiny bit.
I'll get back to you.
This will be a huge hit.
An exclusive cover of the wedding!
"Do Do-hee drink" already shows up
when we search for your wedding!
That's great.
Let me share a supportive message with you
so you don't get too nervous or cry.
-You chicken?
-Thank you, ma'am.
Ms. Do!
I've never seen you more beautiful.
I mean it, Ms. Do!
How do you feel, Madam Ju?
Are you happy now?
Is this what you wanted?
What's with your dress?
Couldn't you have picked
a more elegant one?
I know this is a marriage of convenience,
but how could you let
your secretary pick your dress?
This is your wedding after all.
It's supposed to reflect your taste.
Your taste is what sets you apart.
You and your nagging.
If you keep this up,
you'll always be an outcast.
You're one to talk.
You're the biggest outcast in our family.
Don't you have anything nice to say?
It's my wedding after all.
Here's something I learned from plants.
When two mutants breed,
they produce non-mutant descendants.
Isn't that incredible?
It's a brilliant puzzle of nature.
Such a combination
is also desirable in marriage.
You two are a good example.
Because both of you
are the biggest mutants ever.
You should've been our officiant.
I ruled you out
because you'd bore everyone.
You darned little brat.
Don't be so harsh on a dead person.
What is it like there?
How are you getting by?
Do you even know where I am?
Let me see.
They say rich people
can't get into heaven,
so that wouldn't be it.
You couldn't be in hell either
because you're a better person
than you let on.
Where in the world did you go, Madam Ju?
Leaving me here alone.
I'm in your memory.
Where else could I be?
Are you ready, ma'am?
Wish me luck with the puzzle.
You did it.
You're here. I didn't expect you to come.
Like I said, we're family.
You look great in your dress.
Mother would've been
so happy to see you today.
Too bad she couldn't be here.
Congratulations. I mean it.
Thank you. I mean it.
Sit over here.
Look at her all triumphant.
When will you break the story?
Today is a happy day.
Let her enjoy it.
It is time to welcome the star of the day.
-Where's my seat?
-Here comes the bride.
Everyone, please give
a warm welcome to the bride.
Why did you propose to me?
Just because.
I don't want you to die.
At this hour, I take you,
the most precious and beautiful bride,
Do Do-hee, to be my wife.
At this hour, I take you,
the most precious and dashing groom,
Jeong Gu-won, to be my husband.
I will stand by you through thick and thin
and always put you first.
I will accept, respect, and love you
the way you are.
A premarital agreement?
I wrote up a simple contract.
"Party A and Party B shall appear…"
"Party A and Party B shall appear
as an ideal couple in public."
"In privacy, both parties
shall respect boundaries
and not intrude into each other's spaces."
"Both parties shall cooperate
to achieve their goals."
"The contract shall expire…
"The contract shall expire…
…when both parties
have achieved their goals."
…when both parties
have achieved their goals."
PARTY A: DO DO-HEE
PARTY B: JEONG GU-WON
The bride and groom will now
make their way back down the aisle,
taking their first step into the world
as a married couple.
It symbolizes their vow
to walk side by side
for the rest of their lives--
Stop!
Hold on a second. I'm sorry.
"The rest of our lives"?
That wasn't part of the deal.
It's a customary expression.
Just play along.
No.
As a demon, I take contracts
and promises very seriously.
The rest of my life is extremely long.
Excuse me.
Remove "the rest of their lives."
Yes, ma'am.
The couple will make their way
back down the aisle.
There's no meaning behind it whatsoever.
The bride and groom, everyone!
Please join me in congratulating them.
He's too handsome to be a bodyguard.
You look beautiful!
Ms. Choi, can't you applaud for real?
I was rooting for another couple.
What?
Me and Mr. Jeong.
What are you so giddy about, Su-ahn?
The higher you fly, the harder you fall.
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
Turn toward each other and show some love!
Try a little harder, will you?
Is this enough?
It's too much. Take it easy.
You're so picky.
Director Jeong really is the best.
You seem to imply
that Ms. Do isn't the best.
That's not what I meant,
but I won't bother correcting you.
Take that.
And that.
Give each other a kiss!
That's private.
I heard you're only marrying him
for the inheritance.
Kissing is no problem.
Is this really necessary?
"Party A and Party B shall appear
as an ideal couple in public."
Fine,
here goes.
Time for some solo shots.
Let's start with the groom.
Seok-hoon.
I guess I fell short.
No way.
You're absolutely perfect.
To me,
you'll always be the family I can rely on.
I'm always on your side, Do-hee.
Thanks.
Even though Mr. Jeong
is equally rude to everyone,
he's still good to you, right?
He isn't someone I can simply label
as either good or bad.
Is this what you're into, Ms. Shin?
Let's go home, babe.
"Babe"?
Do you prefer "honey"?
See you.
Hey, don't gaze at a married woman
with such intense emotion.
There are eyes everywhere!
When will it be my turn?
BIRTH OF THE CINDERELLA MAN…
EXCLUSIVE WEDDING FOOTAGE
She found out already?
I thought she'd be too busy rehearsing.
Ms. Jin, please open the door.
-How long has she been like this?
-Well…
Star Jin, I was going to tell you
-right after the press conference.
-Shut up.
I'm more upset with you than with him.
Their marriage
is just a peaceful means
to maintain his powers.
What's peaceful about marriage?
It's more violent than anything.
You're coming back, right?
I trust you, Star Jin!
She's a professional,
so she'll definitely come back.
Your fingerprint has been registered.
What if the lock breaks again?
This one is basically indestructible.
Come in.
So this is where Do Do-hee lives.
Let me make something clear.
I was only forced to move in here
because the culprit might break in…
Watch out, Do Do-hee!
Did the bastard already break in?
What was he looking for
to make such a mess?
I've been busy preparing for the wedding.
Just sit wherever.
So the place wasn't broken into?
Stop exaggerating.
Nice and homey, don't you think?
Your wrist.
This is what "homey" looks like.
It's finally neat enough to call home.
Can you cook with this?
I want homemade food.
Forget it.
I'm your husband, not your slave.
Do me just one more favor.
I threw away my favorite blouse
by mistake.
How could that possibly happen?
CLOTHING BIN
Not this one.
There it is.
What? It's ruined.
No, it isn't.
-Clean up before you come in.
-Why should I…
That blouse looks familiar.
Hurry up!
That'll wake me up.
SUNWOL FOUNDATION
SUNWOL FOUNDATION IN AN OLD NEWSPAPER
HYEONMYEONG DAILY
JUNE 7, 1977
CONSTRUCTION OF SUNWOL THEATER COMPLETE
Hello, this is Ju Seok-hoon
from Mirae Investment.
I'd like to request some articles
regarding Sunwol Foundation
as I'm considering making an investment.
Do you happen to keep
really old issues in your archives?
JUNE 7, 1977
Grandma? But she's gone.
Everything belongs to my dad now,
and it'll all be mine soon.
Nice tattoo.
It looks good on you.
Noh Do-gyeong.
Is it you?
Did you wash up?
Yes, as you can see.
Did you?
Yes, as you can see.
I washed up.
I've never seen you
dressed like that before.
Likewise.
Hey, so…
Are you going to bed now?
What else is there to do?
You should go to bed.
It's late.
I know.
I'm so tired.
What do you mean,
"What else is there to do?"
So embarrassing.
Good night,
Do Do-hee.
Good night,
Jeong Gu-won.
Young Master!
Young Master Yi-sun!
Your tutor will arrive any minute.
You can't go flower-watching right now.
Your father will have a fit if he finds--
Everyone will be happy
as long as you keep quiet.
Another dream about when I was human?
What's all this noise so early in the…
-morning?
-Good morning.
No.
What are you doing so early?
You're a mess.
What do you mean?
Am I too pretty in the morning?
Yes.
No.
It looks like you got into a fight
that lasted all night.
I hadn't slept so well in forever.
I woke up because I was so hungry.
Want some?
No thanks.
A cup of pour-over coffee,
and I'm good to go.
Pour-over coffee?
I don't have that.
And we don't have the time.
How can you not have it?
Also, why wouldn't we have the time?
It's the weekend.
We have to find the culprit.
I don't want to.
The wedding was way too hectic.
I insist on taking it easy today.
But we're busy with work during the week.
What was his name again?
Ju Seok-hoon or whatever he's called.
He's digging into Mr. Cha, isn't he?
It'd be faster to dig into a living person
than a dead person.
A living person like who?
We don't even know
what he really looks like.
We'll find the person behind all this.
The real culprit behind the disguised one.
I have a suspect.
Who?
Noh Suk-min's son, Noh Do-gyeong.
That's enough, Do-gyeong.
Stop it. He's tapping out.
Let go! Hey!
I said that's enough!
Get him off!
-What's with you?
-Stop!
Let go right now.
Are you okay?
Open your eyes.
Hey, what the hell?
Stop pretending.
You're not going to die.
How much longer?
I'm coming out!
Okay. I'm ready.
No, you're not.
Feeling too famous again?
We have to cover our faces
if we want to tail him.
You stand out too much.
You're practically begging for attention.
Hey, why here of all places?
What's with you these days?
You might kill someone at this rate.
Come back when you're ready.
So what if I kill someone?
Let's go.
Hurry up.
If we teleport now, we'll end up
in the back seat or the trunk of his car.
Please keep a distance.
He's quite wary.
No, we're just sloppy.
-And my presence is too noticeable--
-Let's wait here for a bit.
Where are you going?
Let me go grab an espresso real quick.
Don't be ridiculous.
-Let's go.
-Let's go.
Let's go.
He parks his car, then takes the subway?
Something's definitely fishy.
He really can't stay in one place, can he?
Where's mine?
Could the subway station
be their rendezvous point?
With the disguised culprit.
Another closed room?
You're obsessed, aren't you?
Hold on.
Keep this for me.
I'll have another later.
A storage locker?
He does seem extremely wary.
Let's go.
What the…
"Both parties shall cooperate
to achieve their goals."
Subtitle translation by: Min-jin Kim
My powers flickered.
You're clearly the problem here.
If anyone has a problem, it's you.
Don't blame me.
Is this how marriage is?
Not like you ever could,
but you should never get married.
Don't jinx it!
-Who is this?
-Mr. Who, aren't you coming back in?
Forget it.
You're the one who kicked me out.
He ran out after just one day?
I find you very suspicious, Mr. Jeong.
You're not human, are you?
What if Ju Seok-hoon gets up to something?
Nothing could possibly stop the truth
from coming out.
You should always be careful.
Anyone can have a bad day.
