Dali and the Cocky Prince (2021) s01e07 Episode Script
Does Death Mean The End?
1
Be quiet. How dare you
raise your voice here?
Stop lying through your teeth.
-Hey.
-Who are you?
-Hey!
-You scumbag!
-Hey.
-Get off me!
-Calm down.
-You almost punched me.
-What?
-Be quiet!
-What did you say?
-I'd love to get
settlement money
and live a comfortable life.
Seriously. She'd better watch out.
Once I find the girl that reported me,
I'm going to punch
What
Say that again. What did you say?
-What did you say?
-Mr. Jin, no!
Don't do that.
I should've just
killed her back then.
Please don't do anything. Please.
Darn it, man. Good grief.
Darn it.
Darn it. What a load of crap.
Did you all just see that?
I'm never going to settle!
There are security cameras here,
so you all better make this right.
Call the police again.
You need to shut your mouth!
Let me make this clear.
Your sentence will go up
every time you say another word.
-You brat
-Special robbery and injury
gets you over three and a half years
and up to seven years.
And you were released
from prison last year.
If you're convicted again
within three years
of your previous crime,
you can be sentenced up to ten years
or for life.
Your crime was caught
on these cameras you love.
Throw in your footprints, fingerprints,
and DNA.
There are millions of reasons
to throw you in prison.
However, you must know
my witness statement
as the victim is the most essential.
Thankfully, I'm acquainted
with many doctors.
Depending on your attitude,
my diagnosis could look very different.
Let me explain it to you once again
in case you didn't understand.
Depending on what I say,
you may never see the light
of day as a free man again.
Do you get it?
Yes
Where's my money?
I'm sure you have some left.
-Well, the thing is
-Did you use all of it?
I mean, yes.
If only the detective came
just a minute later.
I would've had the winning hand.
You saw my cards too, right?
Together with the other cards,
I would've won.
It was the strongest hand.
I told you to be quiet.
-You! How dare you blow my money?
-Hold her back!
I had to pay my staff with that!
How dare you?
Hey, let go. Get off of me! Let go of me!
You, come here!
No matter how angry you are,
you can't do that here.
If you're unlucky,
you could be charged with assault.
And if this gets reported
to the Human Rights Commission,
it'll get really messy.
I'm sorry.
The same goes for you and your boyfriend.
Try to tone it down a little.
My boyfriend?
That guy who did the flying kick.
He's not my boyfriend.
-Is he your older brother?
-No.
If he's not your boyfriend
or older brother,
then why did he make a huge scene
in the middle of a police station?
You people will get in serious trouble.
I'm sorry.
Try to lose your temper, okay?
All right, then.
Goodbye
Look at this.
You were a police officer?
It's unbelievably nice to see you here.
What's your relationship with her?
Do you ask random questions like that
out of habit or because of your vocation?
What relationship?
What's your relationship with Da-li?
Da-li?
Yes, famous people are our friends.
Think about it.
I'm friends with Byung-hun,
Woo-sung, and Bin too.
I wonder when Son will come back.
We should grab a meal sometime.
Aren't you going to answer me?
Look at you.
She's not someone you can talk about
whenever you want.
Won-tak.
-Hey, are you done?
-Yes.
How do you know my Won-tak?
My
My Won-tak?
Do you two know each other?
Not really.
-He's just
-He's my tenant.
He lives on the rooftop of my building.
I thought you were living alone.
What's it to you if I live alone or not?
It's because
my upstairs neighbor was way too loud.
I see. I heard noise issues
were very serious here.
I hear there are people who aren't
considerate in their communities.
I told you that my landlord is a crazy
Why do you have things on your face?
I see. You're my Won-tak's landlord.
I hope you treat him well.
He's a vigorous, young man.
I hope he hasn't been too noisy.
I told you. He has been.
And that's why I couldn't sleep.
What are you talking about?
That's because the house is
He says he's sorry
and that he'll be more careful.
-When did I say that?
-Are we done introducing ourselves?
Let's go home.
Thank you for everything, Mr. Jin.
Goodbye then.
Hey, what's the matter with you?
Who is he?
Be quiet. I'll explain back home.
Don't tell anyone that we're living
together for the time being.
-That we're living
-Be quiet.
Where do you think you're going?
Sorry?
Shouldn't you go to the museum?
What about the exhibition?
You have several matters to take care of.
Right
It was nice seeing you. I should go now.
I don't know where you live, but until
we meet again, watch your mouth
Watch the amount of noise you make.
What?
Hey, Da-li
What?
What?
Later
What's your relationship
with your Won-tak?
What?
You two seem to have
a special relationship.
Well. I guess that's true.
It's a long story.
You must've gone through
more than 3,000 geops.
How much? 5,000 geops?
Or 6,000 geops? 7,000 geops?
Look
My Won-tak is a kindhearted
and decent guy.
He has a sense of justice, is law-abiding,
and is honest.
Most of all,
he's a part of the Violent Crimes Unit,
so thieves tend to avoid him.
So in a way, you have yourself
a free security service.
He's a great fighter too.
It's so reassuring to have him
by your side.
What is he? A bodyguard?
I'm just saying
that there's no better tenant than him.
He's often on duty or stakeouts.
He's so easygoing
that he rarely takes showers.
How great is that?
You'll save on utilities.
-You talk as if you live with him.
-Sorry?
You're such a hilarious man, Mr. Jin.
I'll also warn him
about the noise issues so
I get it.
I can take care of my own tenant,
so can you please stop talking
about your Won-tak?
My ears are about to bleed.
I'm sorry.
How are your knuckles?
They're fine.
I should've beaten him to a pulp.
But you hugged me from behind.
-What?
-You startled me.
People were watching, you know?
I wasn't hugging you, I was stopping you
from causing a bigger mess.
I see.
You were being quite passionate.
That's why you should've just left
instead of causing a misunderstanding.
That's because
That's because
I was
I was going to ask
about a gukbap restaurant.
-Sorry?
-There's always a tasty gukbap place
near a police station.
I was just doing some research.
Did you think I went there because of you?
Also, you should never talk
like you did back there
even if you're surrounded
by police officers.
Do you have any idea
how dangerous those men can be?
-I know very well.
-What?
You may not believe it
since he's turned into a great guy.
But when my Won-tak
used to be a troublemaker,
my dad and I popped by the police station
quite often.
You and your Won-tak again.
We met all kinds of criminals
from petty pickpockets
to gang leaders.
I probably know more about them
than you do.
I'm aware that I have a pretty face,
but don't let it fool you.
Did you forget the tiger tattoo I had
all over my body?
My nickname is Majang-dong
Those were stickers.
Who said that?
A few of its fangs and claws were erased.
Did you forget what happened
in the Netherlands?
During the blackout?
You said you had forgotten everything,
but I guess you still remember
every little detail.
Right. How could you possibly forget?
I have a killer body.
A killer body?
Why are you laughing?
I'm not.
I definitely heard you laughing.
You're mistaken.
A killer body?
A killer
I think you went a bit overboard there.
A killer body?
I think that's enough.
I'm sorry.

DEBTOR: KIM NAK-CHEON
JANG TAE-JIN
DONDON F&B ORGANIZATION CHAR
DIRECTOR JIN MU-HAK
DIRECTOR JIN MU-HAK
He's oddly annoying me.
Dondon F&B may be a company now,
but he's a nouveau riche
who got his start in a marketplace.
The same goes for his father
and stepmother.
They're just low,
money-hungry individuals.
Once he gets his money,
he'll be out of her hair.
There's nothing to worry about.
How much is the debt?
I heard it was two billion won.
Two billion won?
Is he trying to seduce Da-li
with that excuse?
He may be ignorant,
but I'm sure he knows better than that.
It's none of your business.
And we don't have that relationship.
Mr. Jin?
Why are you standing there?
You need to pay for this.
CHEONGSONG MUSEUM OF AR
Why did he borrow money from those people
and cause this much trouble for her?
Not only is he conceited
but narrow-minded as well.
I'd like to meet this guy.
You want to meet with him?
Please handle it with care.
There was a problem
with the electrical wires,
so it took some time to fix them.
I'm afraid we'll have to pull
an all-nighter.
Is everything going as planned
with the catering service?
About that, we've yet to figure out
the number of guests we're having.
You haven't checked with our VIPs yet?
Well
Hello
Will Mr. Jang be attending
the opening ceremony?
I see. His schedule isn't out yet?
Sorry?
Minister Choi?
I was wondering
if Minister Choi would be attending.
He's out right now?
Then when do you think
you can get back to us?
It must be because of that news article.
They asked us who would be attending.
And said they would attend
if the other was attending.
They're just trying
to gauge the guest list.
It'd be great if an important figure
like Director Jang
would encourage them to attend.
But he has a business trip
on the day of our opening.
Well, I meant we need celebrities
to attend the opening
to get the word out
so that a lot of people would come
after the opening.
Proceed with the number of guests
we planned initially.
-We can't disrespect our guests.
-Okay.
-Move out of my way.
-Goodness. Mr. Kim!
Gosh. What are you doing?
I called dibs on it first!
-Seriously?
-Gosh.
-This spot was empty.
-Come on.
So you can just call dibs
to make it yours?
-I told you to move!
-Goodness.
-Wait. What's going on?
-Gosh.
This section belongs to Ms. Hong Ja-yeong.
-I heard she pulled out.
-What? No, she didn't.
-Hey, can't I take this spot?
-Yes?
This is the main spot.
A piece deserving of the spotlight
ought to be displayed.
Besides, mine is about
the same size as hers.
-The size?
-Yes.
So only the size matters?
Not the actual artwork?
The artwork must represent
the group exhibition.
Exactly. That's why it must be mine.
Given my international fame
and well-received artistic quality.
-Everyone's artwork is great.
-Artistic quality?
Artistic quality?
Ms. Yang, how many solo exhibitions
have you opened so far?
Who cares about solo exhibitions
where the artist sponsors himself?
What about you, Mr. Kim?
Were you invited
to the Biennale this year?
-What?
-Goodness.
-Ms. Yang.
-My gosh.
-I guess you weren't.
-Everyone was invited.
You really weren't invited.
-Your artwork is famous.
-Goodness.
Are you guys sure
you want this spot?
Yes
Well, we'd love to install
your piece, Mr. Kim.
But the color of the wall
and your piece have the same color.
So your artwork might not stand out.
Well, you should repaint the wall.
Tomorrow is the opening.
There isn't enough time for that.
Then, why don't you display mine?
We'd be grateful to install
your artwork too.
But right next to this spot
Right?
You'll go back
to your initial spots, right?
That section is the best for your art.
They are usually very polite.
But they get sensitive
right before the exhibitions.
So we haven't heard from Ms. Hong yet?
Ms. Song went to see her,
but seeing how she didn't call
Shouldn't we look for another artist now?
Where is her studio?
Her studio?
What brings trash here?
DONDON GAMJATANG
I'm here to clean up my own crap.
What nonsense is this?
"My mess is my duty."
What?
Since I made this mess, I'll clean it up.
That's my principle.
What a load of garbage.
What a load of garbage.
Mr. Jin.
My goodness. What on earth is happening?
She needs to let me in first
for me to offer her anything.
Gosh. I've been waiting by her house
for three hours.
I'm just taking a break.
But I realized
that I came here empty-handed.
So I'm going to buy some fruit
What?
You're coming here now?
We need to fix this in two hours.
We are literally running out of time
and don't have another alternative.
Okay
Actually
there was a real reason behind her anger.
The first piece
in The Living and The Dead series
was inspired by thoughts
of her late mother.
And that stupid man
called her precious art
trash and garbage.
Gosh. You guys are such a nuisance
to no end.
Ms. Hong.
As for the incident this morning
I bet you're sorry, feel awful about it,
have nothing to say, and so on.
I got it. Let's cut to the chase.
What did you bring me?
-Pardon?
-Pardon?
After all, this is your first exhibition
as the new director.
And then you created this disaster.
So I doubt that you would come here
empty-handed.
I'm curious to find out what you are going
to offer me.
We'll handsomely compensate
for the damage we caused.
The insurance company
will take care of that.
You said you were interested
in the artist-in-residence program
sponsored by Hamilton Foundation
in New York.
I'm fully booked until next year.
I'm not sure
if I'll be available for that.
I see. Okay.
Then
What about a solo exhibition?
We'll prepare your solo exhibition
as soon as we're done
with this group exhibition.
We can't purchase your artwork right away,
but we'll make sure that we do.
And we'll put our best people
for the art brochure.
Will there be a next time with you?
I thought this would be
your last exhibition.
Ms. Hong.
We will hold an exhibition within a year.
As long as you're happy with us,
I'd like to prepare
your future exhibitions myself
at Cheongsong Museum of Art.
I see.
I read somewhere
that people even kneel
to get what they want.
I see. But you are a lady
from high society,
so kneeling in front of others
comes at a great price.
Ms. Hong.
If I kneel, will you agree to our terms?
If you make demands,
you're not asking, you're bargaining.
Ms. Hong. You don't like
this kind of behavior.
Why are you so harsh today?
If this can help you feel better,
I don't mind kneeling in front of you.
I'm really sorry
about today's incident.
Ms. Kim, please don't do that.
-Come on, Ms. Hong.
-Forget it.
I was just joking.
Don't take it so seriously.
Right. It must've arrived by now.
What kind of spell did you put her under?
What made her come around?
This is amazing.
-Thank you.
-Okay.
Sir, let me carry that.
Sorry
No. Don't worry.
Everything is good.
-Gosh. Go help him.
-What?
The third piece
of The Living and The Dead series
has arrived.
Shouldn't you get going?
Thank you so much, Ms. Hong.
I didn't do it to get a thank-you.
If the museum closes,
it'll be bad news for the artists.
So you must keep your promise. Okay?
You promised to hold
my exhibitions next year,
and the year after that, and so on.
It would be an honor.
Ms. Hong.
You're the best.
Let's hurry.
If we want to finish installing
before the opening,
we are short on time.
-Let's go.
-By the way.
Who was that trashy character
this morning?
He's not well-versed in art,
but he's not a bad person.
Actually, Cheongsong is indebted to him.
How funny.
I asked who he was,
not whether he was a good person.
Well
Incongruity within congruity.
You two go well together.
Wait up!
This is Mr. Jin's office from Dondon F&B.
Where?
Jang Tae-jin?
He said he would grant you
the chance to meet him
if you let him know when you're available.
Grant me?
He wants to talk about the debt
that Cheongsong owes.
Wasn't what I predicted right on
the money this time?
What was it that you predicted?
I told you.
I think Segi Group
will pay back your money.
Who does he think he is?
He's dying to pay it.
He wants to flex.
Two billion won
means nothing to Segi Group.
Especially now that their biggest obstacle
Kim Nak-cheon has died,
two billion is less than nothing.
That means
we don't have to do anything either.
Isn't it great?
When do you want to meet him?
As early as possible, I assume?
Tonight?
I'm busy.
Tomorrow night?
I'm busy tomorrow as well.
The day after tomorrow?
I said I was busy!
I don't have time to meet that dude!
And if he wants to see me,
make him come here.
Who is he to order me to come?
I have money too!
But an opportunity like this
doesn't come often.
Understood
-What's that?
-Right.
It's the first piece of Hong Ja-yeong's
The Living and The Dead series
you purchased.
This is it? Just this?
The explanation of her artwork
and a description
of how the piece came
to be can be found inside.
They also said the first piece of
"The Living and the Dead" series
would be unavailable for exhibition,
publication, or photography
anywhere without your consent.
Now you're a real collector.
You're throwing it away?
That's a lot of money.
I
I can't believe
I bought a 100-million-won
piece of trash!
What's wrong with him?
Someone's calling you.
Aren't you going to answer?
Who is it?
Three-thousand gaps?
3,000 GEOPS
Wait, it's 3,000 Geops.
Give it.
Jin Mu-hak speaking.
Put it here!
Everything worked out well.
I know you've been worried.
Well
A bit.
You have many things to worry about.
You shouldn't be worried
about me worrying.
That makes me worried.
That shouldn't go there.
Thank you.
And I'm sorry, even though it's late.
Are you coming
to the opening ceremony tomorrow?
Of course!
I'll be there no matter what,
so you just wait.
Okay
I'm not sure what happened.
I thought she would never change her mind.
By the way, will Ms. Hong do
the opening ceremony performance herself?
I think so.
We can't get anyone
since we're short on time.
Sir
Why are all the plastic bags
-Come down.
-Oh my.
Goodness
Is everything all right?
This is way too crumpled!
Make it stay exactly like this.
No, I mean
We have issues
with the direction of the monitors.
I was following the design
You read it wrong.
-I didn't
-Look.
Please stay within the line.
No, it's too close.
Move it slightly this way. Good.
Who's in charge of this?
Hurry up!
Three per table, please.
Over there.
This is wrong.
This one has to face that way.
Let's put it back down.
Ms. Kim?
Are you ready?
Yes
Hello
Are the VIP guests not here yet?
They all got the invitation,
so they will surely send someone
even if they can't make it.
Don't worry too much.
Everything will be fine.
The fact that we opened
is already incredible.
Honestly, I didn't think we could make it.
It has to go well.
We've all been through so much
since Director Kim's passing.
Here we are.
Did you even advertise the event?
Where is everyone?
Can a place really fall
this far from grace?
Isn't this so odd?
Let's go home. This must be it.
Where is everyone?
How is it possible
that not a single person showed up?
Where is that idiot?
The one time we need him, he's not here.
Where is he?
We have to do something.
Everyone, call who you can.
Wait
There!
What?
What are you waiting for?
Places, everyone!
Let's go.
They're coming.
Look here, please.
Over here.
Welcome
Look here, please.
Can you look here one more time?
Over here.
Thank you for coming.
Thank you.
-Oh my.
-Look here.
-Look over here, please.
-Thank you.
-Over here.
-Hello.
-Thank you for coming.
-This way, please.
Could you please wave your hand?
-Hello.
-Thank you for coming.
-Over here.
-Please look over here.
-Please look over here.
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Please wave your hands.
-Look over here.
-Thank you for coming. Hello.
-Thank you.
-Please look here.
-Please look over here.
-Hello.
Please show them the way.
Please look over here.
-Please show us a smile.
-Look over here.
-Look over here.
-Wave your hand.
Could you make hearts?
-All right!
-Thank you.
-Could you wave again?
-Thank you.
You can go in this way.
-You should say hi to him too.
-Thank you.
Darn it, where are all these people
coming from?
Darn it.
Hey, get me a straw.
Get me a straw!
Look over here.
You'll see works by Choi Jeong-hwa.
As you can see here, he made this
by using household items.
You can see the philosophy
behind this artist's work.
Look, that's ELRIS. An idol group.
Ham Yeon-ji is here too.
She has over a million followers.
Anyway, did we send an invitation
to ELRIS and Ms. Ham?
-Invitations get around.
-You're right.
Look, I've seen him on TV.
Who was he again?
-I don't know his name.
-He's an actor.
-Is he?
-He's not a singer?
This is the fanciest opening day
ever since I started here.
I guess Ms. Kim's marketing strategy
worked like magic.
Sounds great.
In my opinion,
this is Director Jang Tae-jin's power.
He's young, handsome,
and he's the possible successor
of Segi Group.
He's a divorcee too.
Anyone big in politics and business
would drool all over him,
as well as anyone with a daughter.
I get it. She's doing this again.
-She's so negative.
-Let's say hi to her.
-Hello.
-Hello.
We're curators
here at Cheongsong Museum of Art.
-Hello.
-It's nice to have you here.
-It's a lot of fun.
-You're so pretty.
-Yes.
-Goodness, thank you.
Hello, these are the curators
of the museum.
Yes, hello.
-Hello.
-Weren't you going abroad for work?
How did you find the time?
It was postponed to next week.
It was postponed
because of their situation.
Did you think I postponed it for you?
No
I may be smitten with you,
but work is still work for me.
Let's head over there.
These are the people
we'll have to deal with.
Make sure you meet them.
-Chairman Choi.
-Hey.
"We"?
The new director, Ms. Kim Da-li.
Chairman Choi Yeong-man
of C and C Ventures and his wife.
Thank you for your time.
They're well-versed in culture and arts,
so they'll be good sponsors.
Goodness, you threatened me
saying you'll never see me again
unless I come here.
And you're now asking me to donate?
Goodness, you're like a highway robber.
He's not a robber. He's a romanticist.
I heard you postponed your business trip
to be here.
-Sorry?
-No, ma'am.
I didn't postpone it.
They postponed it first
because of their situation.
Goodness, I must've made a mistake.
Chairman Kim!
That's Chairman Kim of Lux Hotel.
Let us go say hello. Let's go.
-Look at him.
-Chairman Kim.
What are you doing?
-Please meet Director Kim.
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Nice to meet you.
This is Chairman Kim of Lux Hotel.
So did you have a nice chat?
-Yes.
-We did.
-They're here.
-Good grief.
Goodness
Why? Why do you do this?
Since when did our family
visit exhibitions and art galleries?
Why is my entire family here?
Think of all the money we spent.
We have to come and look.
Also, I should start attending parties
to get used to it.
It's not a party. It's an opening event.
It's their grand opening?
It's not a party?
Who cares if this is the opening event
or a party?
We can use this chance to meet new people.
Father, I saw on social media
that all kinds of famous people came.
Even the successor of Segi Group is here.
That sounds wonderful.
It's time. We should go.
Anyway
Once you get in there,
pretend like we're strangers.
We're all on our own.
-Let's go.
-Yes, I just arrived.
I told you. I made this mess,
so I'll clean it up.
All right, then.
Goodness
-It's really good.
-What have you been doing?
They're all wonderful people.
-Do you enjoy wine?
-Wine sounds great.
How's your artwork coming along?
-Well, did you see it in there?
-I did.
-What did you think?
-I thought
What are you doing?
Why are you so late?
I've been waiting for you.
Chak-hui, why are you here?
Why would someone who works at a gallery
be here? Of course, I should be here.
You work at a gallery, right?
Look at me.
What are you doing?
Stay with me.
I have to introduce you to someone.
Introduce me? To whom?
-This is excellent.
-It is.
-I'll get going, then.
-Yes, goodbye.
-All right.
-See you.
This is Director Kim.
Hey
You know that you seem the coolest
when you don't say a word, right?
That's enough. What are you doing?
Just greet them, then don't say a word.
I'll manage the rest. Let's go.
Where are we
Where are we going?
Just come.
-Where did he go?
-Calm down.
Goodness. Thank you.
-Here.
-Okay.
How do you hit so well with your driver?
You're really strong.
-Dad.
-Hey, Chak-hui.
A hard worker for my district,
always jolly around the year,
my name is Ahn Sang-tae.
So who is he?
-I'm Jin Mu-hak
-You know him too.
He's with Dondon F&B,
a company that makes big
political contributions to you.
I see.
Assemblyman Ahn, hello.
-Goodness.
-He's my father.
Yes, right. Goodness.
Yes, it's an honor to meet you.
-Ma'am!
-This is fraud!
Get back here!
Excuse me.
Thank you.
Mr. Jin Mu-hak.
Yes?
Right
I'm Jang Tae-jin of Segi Group.
I wanted to meet with you,
but you declined the offer.
Your people don't report properly.
I didn't decline it.
If you have business with me, come to me
instead of telling me to come to you.
That's what I said.
I see.
I just wanted to suit your schedule.
I'm sorry if I sounded rude.
Suit me?
Sure
So what is this about?
I heard that Da-li is indebted to you.
I should've taken care of it
as soon as possible.
But we had a personal issue,
so it took longer than expected.
We?
Personal?
So?
So?
I'll pay on Cheongsong's behalf.
What's it to you?
Tell me.
Who are you to meddle in our affair?
I refuse to watch her being treated
like a doormat anymore.
Men covered in tattoos lay in her museum.
Art pieces were broken.
And you're always keeping an eye on her.
She spent all her life reading books
and learning about art.
She's not like you.
She has a strong sense of responsibility,
so she doesn't show it.
But can't you see? She's struggling.
You should stop here.
Did she say
that I was giving her a tough time?
Because she never told me that.
And Ms. Kim Da-li
isn't some naive kid.
Can't you see how well she's doing?
Don't make a fool
out of an intelligent woman.
It's only money.
And excessive nosiness
doesn't mean goodwill,
it means you have an ulterior motive.
What is it?
Are things not going your way?
Gosh. Hello?
Fine. I'm leaving right now. Bye.
I'm a bit busy.
I heard you liked money.
Isn't that all you want?
It's true that I love money.
But I don't accept donations.
I may get sick.
This is the third piece
of Ms. Hong Ja-yeong's
The Living and The Dead series.
As you can see, everything is made
with garbage left behind by the living.
The dead can no longer
leave behind garbage.
Does life always bring happiness?
Is death always horrible?
What differentiates these two?
Ms. Hong
only learned about her mother's death
one month after she passed away.
Her late mother didn't want to bother her
while she was preparing
for an important exhibition.
During that one month,
was her mom alive
or dead to her?
The aim of this artwork
was to make the audience think through
this experience.
-My gosh!
-What's going on?
Ma'am!
You lunatic!
Why in the world are you in the coffin?
You're teasing me, aren't you?
Why would you do
something like this to me?
What's the matter with you?
This is what I'm supposed to do.
The artist told me to do this.
-You little
-He's right.
This was the artist's intention.
He was selected as the model today.
But starting from tomorrow on,
any of you can volunteer
for this experience.
I see.
Go back inside.
Shall we move on?
All right.
Goodbye, sir. This way.
Let's go.
What?
You know nothing about art.
I thought no one would come,
but everyone came.
Gosh.
You were squealing when you saw KNK.
That's rich coming from you.
I saw what you did.
Since Ms. Hong had to quickly change
her artwork,
I thought we wouldn't have a model.
Me too. I was shocked to see him
in the coffin.
He didn't strike me
as the type to do that.
He just cleaned up the mess he made.
It's not that big of a deal.
Goodness
Where's Ms. Kim?
She told us to leave first.
Today was her first exhibit
after her father's death.
Despite being hectic all day,
he popped into my head every now and then.
Imagine how she felt.
Dad!
Remember I told you
that an art museum was timid yet chatty?
It has so many things to say,
but it's too timid to talk.
So when you're in an art museum,
you need to walk around quietly
and listen to what the pieces are saying.
Mr. Jin.
Look. My forehead is busted, right?
Stop exaggerating.
I'm serious!
Didn't you hear it crack?
All of a sudden, everything went white.
When this happens,
the lack of blood can be more dangerous.
Let me see.
Do you feel dizzy or nauseous?
Do you feel like throwing up?
Do I?
Anyway
you kind of hurt my feelings.
You put me in the coffin
and forgot all about me.
Who knew that you would fall asleep
in the coffin?
-What? Seriously?
-Sorry.
You must've bought good wine.
I always fall asleep
when I drink expensive liquor.
Good work today. It was tough, wasn't it?
Well
it wasn't so bad.
Actually, going into the coffin
was unsettling.
It was cold, dark,
humid, and scary.
But when I laid down,
it was warm, soft,
and warm.
They might've sprayed perfume.
It smelled good too.
For some reason,
it made me feel relieved.
It was comforting.
My mother passed away on a very cold day.
Gosh. This is ridiculous.
I know that you just lost your father.
I'm sorry.
Can I ask you how old you were
when she passed away?
It's not some big secret.
She passed away when I was ten.
You must've been heartbroken.
I'm sure she will be proud to see
how kind and successful you are.
No
I hope she doesn't.
People talk about
how the deceased watch over us
to the end of time,
protect us as our guardian angels,
and how we'll get to see them again.
But I want death
to be the end of everything.
The end of life.
The end.
That's what I want.
My mother
suffered way too much.
She went through so much pain
her entire life.
From what I remember,
she was in pain every single day.
She was sick.
Because she couldn't be there for me,
she was heartbroken too.
-I washed the strawberries.
-Yes.
They look delicious.
Try it.
Hurry and eat.
Did you eat?
Yes
Don't skip your meals. Okay?
Even when I'm not here,
you must eat no matter what. Okay?
Eat
Out of all days,
she passed away on the coldest day.
When we were burying her,
the ground was frozen.
The workers kept cursing.
She never had a ray of sunshine
in her life.
Her life was tough as it was.
She doesn't have to worry about me
even after her death.
Let's go.
She was probably watching over you
the whole time.
She was probably there
for every moment of your life,
rooted for you, and worried about you.
And after seeing how you stayed
on the right path
and have become a great man,
she must be happy.
No. Do what at the museum?
Why did I do that?
Opening events have more impact
than you think.
You're our museum's lucky charm.
Wait. How did you know I lived here?
Come on! When your dog poops,
you ought to clean it up!
Hey. What is it?
Sir, please drive. Let's go.
I've never stopped thinking about you.
Let's start over.
A mistake? I never make mistakes
when it involves my mouth.
Be quiet. How dare you
raise your voice here?
Stop lying through your teeth.
-Hey.
-Who are you?
-Hey!
-You scumbag!
-Hey.
-Get off me!
-Calm down.
-You almost punched me.
-What?
-Be quiet!
-What did you say?
-I'd love to get
settlement money
and live a comfortable life.
Seriously. She'd better watch out.
Once I find the girl that reported me,
I'm going to punch
What
Say that again. What did you say?
-What did you say?
-Mr. Jin, no!
Don't do that.
I should've just
killed her back then.
Please don't do anything. Please.
Darn it, man. Good grief.
Darn it.
Darn it. What a load of crap.
Did you all just see that?
I'm never going to settle!
There are security cameras here,
so you all better make this right.
Call the police again.
You need to shut your mouth!
Let me make this clear.
Your sentence will go up
every time you say another word.
-You brat
-Special robbery and injury
gets you over three and a half years
and up to seven years.
And you were released
from prison last year.
If you're convicted again
within three years
of your previous crime,
you can be sentenced up to ten years
or for life.
Your crime was caught
on these cameras you love.
Throw in your footprints, fingerprints,
and DNA.
There are millions of reasons
to throw you in prison.
However, you must know
my witness statement
as the victim is the most essential.
Thankfully, I'm acquainted
with many doctors.
Depending on your attitude,
my diagnosis could look very different.
Let me explain it to you once again
in case you didn't understand.
Depending on what I say,
you may never see the light
of day as a free man again.
Do you get it?
Yes
Where's my money?
I'm sure you have some left.
-Well, the thing is
-Did you use all of it?
I mean, yes.
If only the detective came
just a minute later.
I would've had the winning hand.
You saw my cards too, right?
Together with the other cards,
I would've won.
It was the strongest hand.
I told you to be quiet.
-You! How dare you blow my money?
-Hold her back!
I had to pay my staff with that!
How dare you?
Hey, let go. Get off of me! Let go of me!
You, come here!
No matter how angry you are,
you can't do that here.
If you're unlucky,
you could be charged with assault.
And if this gets reported
to the Human Rights Commission,
it'll get really messy.
I'm sorry.
The same goes for you and your boyfriend.
Try to tone it down a little.
My boyfriend?
That guy who did the flying kick.
He's not my boyfriend.
-Is he your older brother?
-No.
If he's not your boyfriend
or older brother,
then why did he make a huge scene
in the middle of a police station?
You people will get in serious trouble.
I'm sorry.
Try to lose your temper, okay?
All right, then.
Goodbye
Look at this.
You were a police officer?
It's unbelievably nice to see you here.
What's your relationship with her?
Do you ask random questions like that
out of habit or because of your vocation?
What relationship?
What's your relationship with Da-li?
Da-li?
Yes, famous people are our friends.
Think about it.
I'm friends with Byung-hun,
Woo-sung, and Bin too.
I wonder when Son will come back.
We should grab a meal sometime.
Aren't you going to answer me?
Look at you.
She's not someone you can talk about
whenever you want.
Won-tak.
-Hey, are you done?
-Yes.
How do you know my Won-tak?
My
My Won-tak?
Do you two know each other?
Not really.
-He's just
-He's my tenant.
He lives on the rooftop of my building.
I thought you were living alone.
What's it to you if I live alone or not?
It's because
my upstairs neighbor was way too loud.
I see. I heard noise issues
were very serious here.
I hear there are people who aren't
considerate in their communities.
I told you that my landlord is a crazy
Why do you have things on your face?
I see. You're my Won-tak's landlord.
I hope you treat him well.
He's a vigorous, young man.
I hope he hasn't been too noisy.
I told you. He has been.
And that's why I couldn't sleep.
What are you talking about?
That's because the house is
He says he's sorry
and that he'll be more careful.
-When did I say that?
-Are we done introducing ourselves?
Let's go home.
Thank you for everything, Mr. Jin.
Goodbye then.
Hey, what's the matter with you?
Who is he?
Be quiet. I'll explain back home.
Don't tell anyone that we're living
together for the time being.
-That we're living
-Be quiet.
Where do you think you're going?
Sorry?
Shouldn't you go to the museum?
What about the exhibition?
You have several matters to take care of.
Right
It was nice seeing you. I should go now.
I don't know where you live, but until
we meet again, watch your mouth
Watch the amount of noise you make.
What?
Hey, Da-li
What?
What?
Later
What's your relationship
with your Won-tak?
What?
You two seem to have
a special relationship.
Well. I guess that's true.
It's a long story.
You must've gone through
more than 3,000 geops.
How much? 5,000 geops?
Or 6,000 geops? 7,000 geops?
Look
My Won-tak is a kindhearted
and decent guy.
He has a sense of justice, is law-abiding,
and is honest.
Most of all,
he's a part of the Violent Crimes Unit,
so thieves tend to avoid him.
So in a way, you have yourself
a free security service.
He's a great fighter too.
It's so reassuring to have him
by your side.
What is he? A bodyguard?
I'm just saying
that there's no better tenant than him.
He's often on duty or stakeouts.
He's so easygoing
that he rarely takes showers.
How great is that?
You'll save on utilities.
-You talk as if you live with him.
-Sorry?
You're such a hilarious man, Mr. Jin.
I'll also warn him
about the noise issues so
I get it.
I can take care of my own tenant,
so can you please stop talking
about your Won-tak?
My ears are about to bleed.
I'm sorry.
How are your knuckles?
They're fine.
I should've beaten him to a pulp.
But you hugged me from behind.
-What?
-You startled me.
People were watching, you know?
I wasn't hugging you, I was stopping you
from causing a bigger mess.
I see.
You were being quite passionate.
That's why you should've just left
instead of causing a misunderstanding.
That's because
That's because
I was
I was going to ask
about a gukbap restaurant.
-Sorry?
-There's always a tasty gukbap place
near a police station.
I was just doing some research.
Did you think I went there because of you?
Also, you should never talk
like you did back there
even if you're surrounded
by police officers.
Do you have any idea
how dangerous those men can be?
-I know very well.
-What?
You may not believe it
since he's turned into a great guy.
But when my Won-tak
used to be a troublemaker,
my dad and I popped by the police station
quite often.
You and your Won-tak again.
We met all kinds of criminals
from petty pickpockets
to gang leaders.
I probably know more about them
than you do.
I'm aware that I have a pretty face,
but don't let it fool you.
Did you forget the tiger tattoo I had
all over my body?
My nickname is Majang-dong
Those were stickers.
Who said that?
A few of its fangs and claws were erased.
Did you forget what happened
in the Netherlands?
During the blackout?
You said you had forgotten everything,
but I guess you still remember
every little detail.
Right. How could you possibly forget?
I have a killer body.
A killer body?
Why are you laughing?
I'm not.
I definitely heard you laughing.
You're mistaken.
A killer body?
A killer
I think you went a bit overboard there.
A killer body?
I think that's enough.
I'm sorry.

DEBTOR: KIM NAK-CHEON
JANG TAE-JIN
DONDON F&B ORGANIZATION CHAR
DIRECTOR JIN MU-HAK
DIRECTOR JIN MU-HAK
He's oddly annoying me.
Dondon F&B may be a company now,
but he's a nouveau riche
who got his start in a marketplace.
The same goes for his father
and stepmother.
They're just low,
money-hungry individuals.
Once he gets his money,
he'll be out of her hair.
There's nothing to worry about.
How much is the debt?
I heard it was two billion won.
Two billion won?
Is he trying to seduce Da-li
with that excuse?
He may be ignorant,
but I'm sure he knows better than that.
It's none of your business.
And we don't have that relationship.
Mr. Jin?
Why are you standing there?
You need to pay for this.
CHEONGSONG MUSEUM OF AR
Why did he borrow money from those people
and cause this much trouble for her?
Not only is he conceited
but narrow-minded as well.
I'd like to meet this guy.
You want to meet with him?
Please handle it with care.
There was a problem
with the electrical wires,
so it took some time to fix them.
I'm afraid we'll have to pull
an all-nighter.
Is everything going as planned
with the catering service?
About that, we've yet to figure out
the number of guests we're having.
You haven't checked with our VIPs yet?
Well
Hello
Will Mr. Jang be attending
the opening ceremony?
I see. His schedule isn't out yet?
Sorry?
Minister Choi?
I was wondering
if Minister Choi would be attending.
He's out right now?
Then when do you think
you can get back to us?
It must be because of that news article.
They asked us who would be attending.
And said they would attend
if the other was attending.
They're just trying
to gauge the guest list.
It'd be great if an important figure
like Director Jang
would encourage them to attend.
But he has a business trip
on the day of our opening.
Well, I meant we need celebrities
to attend the opening
to get the word out
so that a lot of people would come
after the opening.
Proceed with the number of guests
we planned initially.
-We can't disrespect our guests.
-Okay.
-Move out of my way.
-Goodness. Mr. Kim!
Gosh. What are you doing?
I called dibs on it first!
-Seriously?
-Gosh.
-This spot was empty.
-Come on.
So you can just call dibs
to make it yours?
-I told you to move!
-Goodness.
-Wait. What's going on?
-Gosh.
This section belongs to Ms. Hong Ja-yeong.
-I heard she pulled out.
-What? No, she didn't.
-Hey, can't I take this spot?
-Yes?
This is the main spot.
A piece deserving of the spotlight
ought to be displayed.
Besides, mine is about
the same size as hers.
-The size?
-Yes.
So only the size matters?
Not the actual artwork?
The artwork must represent
the group exhibition.
Exactly. That's why it must be mine.
Given my international fame
and well-received artistic quality.
-Everyone's artwork is great.
-Artistic quality?
Artistic quality?
Ms. Yang, how many solo exhibitions
have you opened so far?
Who cares about solo exhibitions
where the artist sponsors himself?
What about you, Mr. Kim?
Were you invited
to the Biennale this year?
-What?
-Goodness.
-Ms. Yang.
-My gosh.
-I guess you weren't.
-Everyone was invited.
You really weren't invited.
-Your artwork is famous.
-Goodness.
Are you guys sure
you want this spot?
Yes
Well, we'd love to install
your piece, Mr. Kim.
But the color of the wall
and your piece have the same color.
So your artwork might not stand out.
Well, you should repaint the wall.
Tomorrow is the opening.
There isn't enough time for that.
Then, why don't you display mine?
We'd be grateful to install
your artwork too.
But right next to this spot
Right?
You'll go back
to your initial spots, right?
That section is the best for your art.
They are usually very polite.
But they get sensitive
right before the exhibitions.
So we haven't heard from Ms. Hong yet?
Ms. Song went to see her,
but seeing how she didn't call
Shouldn't we look for another artist now?
Where is her studio?
Her studio?
What brings trash here?
DONDON GAMJATANG
I'm here to clean up my own crap.
What nonsense is this?
"My mess is my duty."
What?
Since I made this mess, I'll clean it up.
That's my principle.
What a load of garbage.
What a load of garbage.
Mr. Jin.
My goodness. What on earth is happening?
She needs to let me in first
for me to offer her anything.
Gosh. I've been waiting by her house
for three hours.
I'm just taking a break.
But I realized
that I came here empty-handed.
So I'm going to buy some fruit
What?
You're coming here now?
We need to fix this in two hours.
We are literally running out of time
and don't have another alternative.
Okay
Actually
there was a real reason behind her anger.
The first piece
in The Living and The Dead series
was inspired by thoughts
of her late mother.
And that stupid man
called her precious art
trash and garbage.
Gosh. You guys are such a nuisance
to no end.
Ms. Hong.
As for the incident this morning
I bet you're sorry, feel awful about it,
have nothing to say, and so on.
I got it. Let's cut to the chase.
What did you bring me?
-Pardon?
-Pardon?
After all, this is your first exhibition
as the new director.
And then you created this disaster.
So I doubt that you would come here
empty-handed.
I'm curious to find out what you are going
to offer me.
We'll handsomely compensate
for the damage we caused.
The insurance company
will take care of that.
You said you were interested
in the artist-in-residence program
sponsored by Hamilton Foundation
in New York.
I'm fully booked until next year.
I'm not sure
if I'll be available for that.
I see. Okay.
Then
What about a solo exhibition?
We'll prepare your solo exhibition
as soon as we're done
with this group exhibition.
We can't purchase your artwork right away,
but we'll make sure that we do.
And we'll put our best people
for the art brochure.
Will there be a next time with you?
I thought this would be
your last exhibition.
Ms. Hong.
We will hold an exhibition within a year.
As long as you're happy with us,
I'd like to prepare
your future exhibitions myself
at Cheongsong Museum of Art.
I see.
I read somewhere
that people even kneel
to get what they want.
I see. But you are a lady
from high society,
so kneeling in front of others
comes at a great price.
Ms. Hong.
If I kneel, will you agree to our terms?
If you make demands,
you're not asking, you're bargaining.
Ms. Hong. You don't like
this kind of behavior.
Why are you so harsh today?
If this can help you feel better,
I don't mind kneeling in front of you.
I'm really sorry
about today's incident.
Ms. Kim, please don't do that.
-Come on, Ms. Hong.
-Forget it.
I was just joking.
Don't take it so seriously.
Right. It must've arrived by now.
What kind of spell did you put her under?
What made her come around?
This is amazing.
-Thank you.
-Okay.
Sir, let me carry that.
Sorry
No. Don't worry.
Everything is good.
-Gosh. Go help him.
-What?
The third piece
of The Living and The Dead series
has arrived.
Shouldn't you get going?
Thank you so much, Ms. Hong.
I didn't do it to get a thank-you.
If the museum closes,
it'll be bad news for the artists.
So you must keep your promise. Okay?
You promised to hold
my exhibitions next year,
and the year after that, and so on.
It would be an honor.
Ms. Hong.
You're the best.
Let's hurry.
If we want to finish installing
before the opening,
we are short on time.
-Let's go.
-By the way.
Who was that trashy character
this morning?
He's not well-versed in art,
but he's not a bad person.
Actually, Cheongsong is indebted to him.
How funny.
I asked who he was,
not whether he was a good person.
Well
Incongruity within congruity.
You two go well together.
Wait up!
This is Mr. Jin's office from Dondon F&B.
Where?
Jang Tae-jin?
He said he would grant you
the chance to meet him
if you let him know when you're available.
Grant me?
He wants to talk about the debt
that Cheongsong owes.
Wasn't what I predicted right on
the money this time?
What was it that you predicted?
I told you.
I think Segi Group
will pay back your money.
Who does he think he is?
He's dying to pay it.
He wants to flex.
Two billion won
means nothing to Segi Group.
Especially now that their biggest obstacle
Kim Nak-cheon has died,
two billion is less than nothing.
That means
we don't have to do anything either.
Isn't it great?
When do you want to meet him?
As early as possible, I assume?
Tonight?
I'm busy.
Tomorrow night?
I'm busy tomorrow as well.
The day after tomorrow?
I said I was busy!
I don't have time to meet that dude!
And if he wants to see me,
make him come here.
Who is he to order me to come?
I have money too!
But an opportunity like this
doesn't come often.
Understood
-What's that?
-Right.
It's the first piece of Hong Ja-yeong's
The Living and The Dead series
you purchased.
This is it? Just this?
The explanation of her artwork
and a description
of how the piece came
to be can be found inside.
They also said the first piece of
"The Living and the Dead" series
would be unavailable for exhibition,
publication, or photography
anywhere without your consent.
Now you're a real collector.
You're throwing it away?
That's a lot of money.
I
I can't believe
I bought a 100-million-won
piece of trash!
What's wrong with him?
Someone's calling you.
Aren't you going to answer?
Who is it?
Three-thousand gaps?
3,000 GEOPS
Wait, it's 3,000 Geops.
Give it.
Jin Mu-hak speaking.
Put it here!
Everything worked out well.
I know you've been worried.
Well
A bit.
You have many things to worry about.
You shouldn't be worried
about me worrying.
That makes me worried.
That shouldn't go there.
Thank you.
And I'm sorry, even though it's late.
Are you coming
to the opening ceremony tomorrow?
Of course!
I'll be there no matter what,
so you just wait.
Okay
I'm not sure what happened.
I thought she would never change her mind.
By the way, will Ms. Hong do
the opening ceremony performance herself?
I think so.
We can't get anyone
since we're short on time.
Sir
Why are all the plastic bags
-Come down.
-Oh my.
Goodness
Is everything all right?
This is way too crumpled!
Make it stay exactly like this.
No, I mean
We have issues
with the direction of the monitors.
I was following the design
You read it wrong.
-I didn't
-Look.
Please stay within the line.
No, it's too close.
Move it slightly this way. Good.
Who's in charge of this?
Hurry up!
Three per table, please.
Over there.
This is wrong.
This one has to face that way.
Let's put it back down.
Ms. Kim?
Are you ready?
Yes
Hello
Are the VIP guests not here yet?
They all got the invitation,
so they will surely send someone
even if they can't make it.
Don't worry too much.
Everything will be fine.
The fact that we opened
is already incredible.
Honestly, I didn't think we could make it.
It has to go well.
We've all been through so much
since Director Kim's passing.
Here we are.
Did you even advertise the event?
Where is everyone?
Can a place really fall
this far from grace?
Isn't this so odd?
Let's go home. This must be it.
Where is everyone?
How is it possible
that not a single person showed up?
Where is that idiot?
The one time we need him, he's not here.
Where is he?
We have to do something.
Everyone, call who you can.
Wait
There!
What?
What are you waiting for?
Places, everyone!
Let's go.
They're coming.
Look here, please.
Over here.
Welcome
Look here, please.
Can you look here one more time?
Over here.
Thank you for coming.
Thank you.
-Oh my.
-Look here.
-Look over here, please.
-Thank you.
-Over here.
-Hello.
-Thank you for coming.
-This way, please.
Could you please wave your hand?
-Hello.
-Thank you for coming.
-Over here.
-Please look over here.
-Please look over here.
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Please wave your hands.
-Look over here.
-Thank you for coming. Hello.
-Thank you.
-Please look here.
-Please look over here.
-Hello.
Please show them the way.
Please look over here.
-Please show us a smile.
-Look over here.
-Look over here.
-Wave your hand.
Could you make hearts?
-All right!
-Thank you.
-Could you wave again?
-Thank you.
You can go in this way.
-You should say hi to him too.
-Thank you.
Darn it, where are all these people
coming from?
Darn it.
Hey, get me a straw.
Get me a straw!
Look over here.
You'll see works by Choi Jeong-hwa.
As you can see here, he made this
by using household items.
You can see the philosophy
behind this artist's work.
Look, that's ELRIS. An idol group.
Ham Yeon-ji is here too.
She has over a million followers.
Anyway, did we send an invitation
to ELRIS and Ms. Ham?
-Invitations get around.
-You're right.
Look, I've seen him on TV.
Who was he again?
-I don't know his name.
-He's an actor.
-Is he?
-He's not a singer?
This is the fanciest opening day
ever since I started here.
I guess Ms. Kim's marketing strategy
worked like magic.
Sounds great.
In my opinion,
this is Director Jang Tae-jin's power.
He's young, handsome,
and he's the possible successor
of Segi Group.
He's a divorcee too.
Anyone big in politics and business
would drool all over him,
as well as anyone with a daughter.
I get it. She's doing this again.
-She's so negative.
-Let's say hi to her.
-Hello.
-Hello.
We're curators
here at Cheongsong Museum of Art.
-Hello.
-It's nice to have you here.
-It's a lot of fun.
-You're so pretty.
-Yes.
-Goodness, thank you.
Hello, these are the curators
of the museum.
Yes, hello.
-Hello.
-Weren't you going abroad for work?
How did you find the time?
It was postponed to next week.
It was postponed
because of their situation.
Did you think I postponed it for you?
No
I may be smitten with you,
but work is still work for me.
Let's head over there.
These are the people
we'll have to deal with.
Make sure you meet them.
-Chairman Choi.
-Hey.
"We"?
The new director, Ms. Kim Da-li.
Chairman Choi Yeong-man
of C and C Ventures and his wife.
Thank you for your time.
They're well-versed in culture and arts,
so they'll be good sponsors.
Goodness, you threatened me
saying you'll never see me again
unless I come here.
And you're now asking me to donate?
Goodness, you're like a highway robber.
He's not a robber. He's a romanticist.
I heard you postponed your business trip
to be here.
-Sorry?
-No, ma'am.
I didn't postpone it.
They postponed it first
because of their situation.
Goodness, I must've made a mistake.
Chairman Kim!
That's Chairman Kim of Lux Hotel.
Let us go say hello. Let's go.
-Look at him.
-Chairman Kim.
What are you doing?
-Please meet Director Kim.
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Nice to meet you.
This is Chairman Kim of Lux Hotel.
So did you have a nice chat?
-Yes.
-We did.
-They're here.
-Good grief.
Goodness
Why? Why do you do this?
Since when did our family
visit exhibitions and art galleries?
Why is my entire family here?
Think of all the money we spent.
We have to come and look.
Also, I should start attending parties
to get used to it.
It's not a party. It's an opening event.
It's their grand opening?
It's not a party?
Who cares if this is the opening event
or a party?
We can use this chance to meet new people.
Father, I saw on social media
that all kinds of famous people came.
Even the successor of Segi Group is here.
That sounds wonderful.
It's time. We should go.
Anyway
Once you get in there,
pretend like we're strangers.
We're all on our own.
-Let's go.
-Yes, I just arrived.
I told you. I made this mess,
so I'll clean it up.
All right, then.
Goodness
-It's really good.
-What have you been doing?
They're all wonderful people.
-Do you enjoy wine?
-Wine sounds great.
How's your artwork coming along?
-Well, did you see it in there?
-I did.
-What did you think?
-I thought
What are you doing?
Why are you so late?
I've been waiting for you.
Chak-hui, why are you here?
Why would someone who works at a gallery
be here? Of course, I should be here.
You work at a gallery, right?
Look at me.
What are you doing?
Stay with me.
I have to introduce you to someone.
Introduce me? To whom?
-This is excellent.
-It is.
-I'll get going, then.
-Yes, goodbye.
-All right.
-See you.
This is Director Kim.
Hey
You know that you seem the coolest
when you don't say a word, right?
That's enough. What are you doing?
Just greet them, then don't say a word.
I'll manage the rest. Let's go.
Where are we
Where are we going?
Just come.
-Where did he go?
-Calm down.
Goodness. Thank you.
-Here.
-Okay.
How do you hit so well with your driver?
You're really strong.
-Dad.
-Hey, Chak-hui.
A hard worker for my district,
always jolly around the year,
my name is Ahn Sang-tae.
So who is he?
-I'm Jin Mu-hak
-You know him too.
He's with Dondon F&B,
a company that makes big
political contributions to you.
I see.
Assemblyman Ahn, hello.
-Goodness.
-He's my father.
Yes, right. Goodness.
Yes, it's an honor to meet you.
-Ma'am!
-This is fraud!
Get back here!
Excuse me.
Thank you.
Mr. Jin Mu-hak.
Yes?
Right
I'm Jang Tae-jin of Segi Group.
I wanted to meet with you,
but you declined the offer.
Your people don't report properly.
I didn't decline it.
If you have business with me, come to me
instead of telling me to come to you.
That's what I said.
I see.
I just wanted to suit your schedule.
I'm sorry if I sounded rude.
Suit me?
Sure
So what is this about?
I heard that Da-li is indebted to you.
I should've taken care of it
as soon as possible.
But we had a personal issue,
so it took longer than expected.
We?
Personal?
So?
So?
I'll pay on Cheongsong's behalf.
What's it to you?
Tell me.
Who are you to meddle in our affair?
I refuse to watch her being treated
like a doormat anymore.
Men covered in tattoos lay in her museum.
Art pieces were broken.
And you're always keeping an eye on her.
She spent all her life reading books
and learning about art.
She's not like you.
She has a strong sense of responsibility,
so she doesn't show it.
But can't you see? She's struggling.
You should stop here.
Did she say
that I was giving her a tough time?
Because she never told me that.
And Ms. Kim Da-li
isn't some naive kid.
Can't you see how well she's doing?
Don't make a fool
out of an intelligent woman.
It's only money.
And excessive nosiness
doesn't mean goodwill,
it means you have an ulterior motive.
What is it?
Are things not going your way?
Gosh. Hello?
Fine. I'm leaving right now. Bye.
I'm a bit busy.
I heard you liked money.
Isn't that all you want?
It's true that I love money.
But I don't accept donations.
I may get sick.
This is the third piece
of Ms. Hong Ja-yeong's
The Living and The Dead series.
As you can see, everything is made
with garbage left behind by the living.
The dead can no longer
leave behind garbage.
Does life always bring happiness?
Is death always horrible?
What differentiates these two?
Ms. Hong
only learned about her mother's death
one month after she passed away.
Her late mother didn't want to bother her
while she was preparing
for an important exhibition.
During that one month,
was her mom alive
or dead to her?
The aim of this artwork
was to make the audience think through
this experience.
-My gosh!
-What's going on?
Ma'am!
You lunatic!
Why in the world are you in the coffin?
You're teasing me, aren't you?
Why would you do
something like this to me?
What's the matter with you?
This is what I'm supposed to do.
The artist told me to do this.
-You little
-He's right.
This was the artist's intention.
He was selected as the model today.
But starting from tomorrow on,
any of you can volunteer
for this experience.
I see.
Go back inside.
Shall we move on?
All right.
Goodbye, sir. This way.
Let's go.
What?
You know nothing about art.
I thought no one would come,
but everyone came.
Gosh.
You were squealing when you saw KNK.
That's rich coming from you.
I saw what you did.
Since Ms. Hong had to quickly change
her artwork,
I thought we wouldn't have a model.
Me too. I was shocked to see him
in the coffin.
He didn't strike me
as the type to do that.
He just cleaned up the mess he made.
It's not that big of a deal.
Goodness
Where's Ms. Kim?
She told us to leave first.
Today was her first exhibit
after her father's death.
Despite being hectic all day,
he popped into my head every now and then.
Imagine how she felt.
Dad!
Remember I told you
that an art museum was timid yet chatty?
It has so many things to say,
but it's too timid to talk.
So when you're in an art museum,
you need to walk around quietly
and listen to what the pieces are saying.
Mr. Jin.
Look. My forehead is busted, right?
Stop exaggerating.
I'm serious!
Didn't you hear it crack?
All of a sudden, everything went white.
When this happens,
the lack of blood can be more dangerous.
Let me see.
Do you feel dizzy or nauseous?
Do you feel like throwing up?
Do I?
Anyway
you kind of hurt my feelings.
You put me in the coffin
and forgot all about me.
Who knew that you would fall asleep
in the coffin?
-What? Seriously?
-Sorry.
You must've bought good wine.
I always fall asleep
when I drink expensive liquor.
Good work today. It was tough, wasn't it?
Well
it wasn't so bad.
Actually, going into the coffin
was unsettling.
It was cold, dark,
humid, and scary.
But when I laid down,
it was warm, soft,
and warm.
They might've sprayed perfume.
It smelled good too.
For some reason,
it made me feel relieved.
It was comforting.
My mother passed away on a very cold day.
Gosh. This is ridiculous.
I know that you just lost your father.
I'm sorry.
Can I ask you how old you were
when she passed away?
It's not some big secret.
She passed away when I was ten.
You must've been heartbroken.
I'm sure she will be proud to see
how kind and successful you are.
No
I hope she doesn't.
People talk about
how the deceased watch over us
to the end of time,
protect us as our guardian angels,
and how we'll get to see them again.
But I want death
to be the end of everything.
The end of life.
The end.
That's what I want.
My mother
suffered way too much.
She went through so much pain
her entire life.
From what I remember,
she was in pain every single day.
She was sick.
Because she couldn't be there for me,
she was heartbroken too.
-I washed the strawberries.
-Yes.
They look delicious.
Try it.
Hurry and eat.
Did you eat?
Yes
Don't skip your meals. Okay?
Even when I'm not here,
you must eat no matter what. Okay?
Eat
Out of all days,
she passed away on the coldest day.
When we were burying her,
the ground was frozen.
The workers kept cursing.
She never had a ray of sunshine
in her life.
Her life was tough as it was.
She doesn't have to worry about me
even after her death.
Let's go.
She was probably watching over you
the whole time.
She was probably there
for every moment of your life,
rooted for you, and worried about you.
And after seeing how you stayed
on the right path
and have become a great man,
she must be happy.
No. Do what at the museum?
Why did I do that?
Opening events have more impact
than you think.
You're our museum's lucky charm.
Wait. How did you know I lived here?
Come on! When your dog poops,
you ought to clean it up!
Hey. What is it?
Sir, please drive. Let's go.
I've never stopped thinking about you.
Let's start over.
A mistake? I never make mistakes
when it involves my mouth.
