My Man Is Cupid (2023) s01e13 Episode Script

1
MY MAN IS CUPID
He was a short guy.
So why did he…
That last case…
won't happen.
Because I'm in here.
He knows about the Seven Sins for Women.
What could he have meant?
An accomplice.
He's the accomplice.
The short guy Ms. Oh saw
at the parking lot.
I'm sorry.
That jerk who was seen
at the convenience store.
He's an accomplice,
but Kim Myeong-sik made a confession.
Is he trying to take all the blame?
So why?
Jealousy.
If it's for that last one…
For the last one remaining…
I'll get going first.
Where are you going?
Huh?
This place is…
It's this neighborhood?
Yoo Jeong-ah and Song Da-hee,
the fourth victims, used to live here?
Yes.
This is where
Ms. Yoo Jeong-ah used to live.
My goodness.
-My gosh.
-Here.
I called a cab, so it'll be here soon.
My goodness. I hope it comes soon.
The number you have dialed…
Ah-rom.
Hang in there. My goodness.
My poor baby.
-It will be okay.
-There, there.
The test shows that
both her liver and kidney are fine.
Most importantly,
she doesn't have a heartworm infection.
So don't worry.
Does that mean it's okay
for me to raise her?
Yes, thank goodness.
We don't know what kind of environment
stray dogs are exposed to.
It looks like she's fine
based on this simple blood test.
But keep her isolated and monitor her
for about a week just in case.
Considering the latent period.
Okay.
But what happened?
It was that day.
The day Eun-seo's body was found.
It rained a lot that day.
She was whimpering in front of my place,
drenched in the rain.
I just saw her then.
It felt like Eun-seo had shown up.
That's why I named her Potato.
Eun-seo liked everything made
with potatoes.
I guess it's meant to be.
Thank you.
You helped me find Eun-seo's body,
at the very least.
You should visit
with Potato from time to time.
There's so much I don't know.
Please give me guidance.
All right.
This way, please.
-Yes. Come on.
-Ah-rom.
Hang in there.
-It's here.
-Okay.
Okay.
Detective Yeo. Is everything okay?
Sir.
Excuse me! Excuse me!
Our dog just swallowed a peach seed.
A poster? What are you talking about?
It lists seven things
children shouldn't do.
We found a Seven Sins for Children poster.
I sent a photo.
Hold on.
SEVEN SINS
CHILDREN SHOULD NEVER COMMI
Where did you find this?
Angel Orphanage in Changsin-dong.
It's where Ms. Oh grew up.
It's where Ms. Oh grew up?
She'll go into surgery right away.
So don't worry.
Thank you.
I got it.
Luckily, I removed it before
it went down to the intestine.
This small thing went into her stomach
and gave her such a hard time.
You must have been scared.
I guess this is your first time
at our clinic.
It's actually our first time
at an animal clinic.
Oh, really?
The dog looked pretty old.
A few days ago,
I found her whimpering at our front gate.
So we just took her in, not knowing
what we'd gotten ourselves into.
My goodness. Thank you.
-How did it go?
-It went all right.
We were in such a rush
that we didn't thank you properly.
-Please check on Ah-rom.
-Sure.
I heard you brought them to our hospital.
Yes. Luckily, it was nearby.
Detective Cheon Yeong-jae?
Detective Cheon Yeong-jae?
Don't be ridiculous.
He went missing 28 years ago.
Even if he's alive,
he can't be that young.
I'm sorry. My wife thought
you were someone else for a second.
Maybe he's the detective's son?
Detective Cheon wasn't married.
Maybe he's his secret son.
Or he's someone
who can't reveal who he really is.
Doctor, Ah-rom's awake.
She is?
Shall we see her together?
Okay.
EP13. CAUSE AND EFFEC
Ah-rom.
Mommy's sorry. I shouldn't have left
the peach seed there.
First-time dog owners often make mistakes.
It's just like raising a kid.
I left things everywhere
when I was raising Jeong-ah too.
So we often had to go
to the emergency room.
It was Jeong-ah's birthday
when we first met Ah-rom.
Jeong-ah's your daughter?
Yes.
She went missing 29 years ago.
I thought Ah-rom could be our daughter.
That's why I named her Ah-rom.
My daughter loved the cartoon,
Demetan Croaker, The Boy Frog.
She always tended to do
the opposite of what she was told.
After my daughter went missing
on a snowy night 29 years ago,
I couldn't do anything for a while.
I couldn't smile or eat for a while.
Because I felt so guilty.
I didn't even know where my daughter was.
So how could I smile?
How could I eat?
Thank you.
Thank you for saving her.
She will be fine in two to three days.
You can take her home then.
-Thank you.
-Yes, thank you.
You should have greeted them properly.
You haven't seen them in a while
but you treated them like strangers.
Don't aliens have any manners?
-Aliens?
-Yes.
You're an alien.
An alien.
Me?
Tell me the truth if you don't want me
to get the wrong idea.
Why should I do that? For whose sake?
I have a favorite saying from Earth.
"He that would eat the fruit
must climb the tree."
A "saying from Earth"?
All right.
I have a favorite saying too.
"Don't overplay your hand."
Goodness.
Hey, were you crying?
Well…
It's because we were telling her
about our daughter.
Honey, let's get going.
The doctor should rest too.
Thank you so much for today.
Don't mention it.
We'll be back
when Ah-rom is ready to go home.
Please take good care of her.
Don't worry. Get home safely.
Thank you.
Take care.
Goodness. Here.
She cried last time too.
Huh? What are you talking about?
She cried in front of our place
the other day too.
Goodness.
-Why did you cry?
-Who made you cry?
I'm talking to her.
What's wrong with you two?
You showed up out of the blue
and told me not to hang out
with him because he's an alien.
And you ran to the hospital late at night
and dragged me towards you,
telling me to stay away from him.
What's wrong with you?
You're both old enough to know better.
-You're older, aren't you?
-Well…
You two should be friends.
Friends?
I can't be friends with a man
whose identity is unclear, like this guy.
I can't be friends
with someone who acts so childish.
-What?
-"Don't overplay your hand"?
-A cop shouldn't threaten people.
-Seriously. Knock it off!
That's why I cried.
They said she was a stray they found
on their missing daughter's birthday.
I guess it was meant to be.
By the way, I saw their house in my dream.
Do you remember the place?
The neighborhood we went to
with Detective Seo.
It's here. I don't know how it happened.
But she keeps showing up in my dreams.
Actually, I went there by myself before.
Thank you.
Goodbye.
I cried then, too.
I choked up
for some reason, and I was sad.
Don't you miss your parents?
My parents?
No.
Why would I miss them
when they abandoned me?
What would you do
if they hadn't abandoned you?
What if they actually missed you very much
and searched for you desperately?
SEVEN SINS
CHILDREN SHOULD NEVER COMMI
After Director Hong Ae-kyeong
beat the kids,
she made them write about
what they did wrong in a red notebook.
Doesn't this mean that the culprit
is one of the kids from the orphanage?
As you know,
Kim Myeong-sik is not an orphan.
Then why did he confess?
Maybe he's trying to protect
the accomplice.
That short guy Ms. Oh and Ms. Ham saw.
So why would he do that?
Why is he protecting his accomplice
by going as far as confessing?
If he's the same guy who was responsible
for the 1993 Seven Sins for Women cases,
then he has just this one case left.
"Jealousy."
There is one witness left too.
The last witness.
OH BAEK-RYEON
LAST SEEN WITH EUN-SEO
Detective Cheon Yeong-jae?
Maybe he's the detective's son?
Detective Cheon wasn't married.
-This man is--
-He said that was his father.
I told you to stop coming.
And to stop bringing flowers.
I can do whatever I want.
Stop. I told you to stop.
I told you to stop coming.
And to stop bringing flowers.
You should go inside.
You should really go in now.
The voices are…
JONGSEO POLICE STATION
ANGEL ORPHANAGE
6. NOT CLEAN
7. COMPLAIN
So, you're going to reinvestigate?
There are things
that still seem suspicious.
If there's an accomplice--
It has already been transferred
to prosecution.
The suspect even confessed that he did it.
-But if there's an accomplice--
-What if you don't get the accomplice?
If you don't get him
after you stir things up?
Don't go asking for trouble.
There is no accomplice.
You can eat now.
Thank you.
It's been so long
since we had a team dinner.
-Is it good?
-We're here to eat.
We're not here to just admire the meat.
If that's what the chief says,
we should just wait.
I was swayed by it too
because it all made sense.
If you think about it,
it's Sang-hyuk who's trying to link things
with the Seven Sins for Women.
If you ignore the cases in 1993 and 1994,
this is just a missing case
for Go Eun-seo and Song Jin-ah.
The only common contact
between them is Kim Myeong-sik.
All the evidence points to Kim Myeong-sik.
And he even confessed.
What about the girl
from the convenience store?
That's a missing case that's
not related to these cases.
We didn't find a red notebook either.
What about the witnesses,
Ham Yeon-ja and Kim Tae-kwang?
What about Im Ye-won
who we thought was the witness?
And Ms. Yoon So-jeong,
the witness from the bus?
They're all unrelated cases.
Ham Yeon-ja died from a fire.
Kim Tae-kwang was killed in a fall.
Ye-won and So-jeong killed themselves
because they had their own reasons.
I guess you can say
they're separate cases, if you insist.
Well, Kim Myeong-sik confessed.
Let's wait and see.
The problem is his height.
A short guy was also seen.
Isn't there an Omega-3
that doesn't smell fishy?
There is.
Zo In-Sung.
It gets absorbed fast.
What does he have that I don't?
It has a less fishy smell.
It's smooth on the throat
because it's a small capsule.
Consecutively, number one. Promega.
Is there anything besides his height?
Until everyone's blood circulation
in Korea gets better.
Healthy blood circulation, Promega.
I don't have time.
I have no time.
Dong-chil.
I'm going to ask you some questions now.
Answer them properly.
What is it?
What do I have to do first
to get close to a woman?
Tell me the most effective way.
I have no time.
Eat. You should eat together first.
Eat?
I said I don't have time.
But that's how you begin.
When it comes to a relationship
between a man and a woman,
you have to eat together first.
Are you sure?
-I just have to eat with her?
-Yes.
LOVE ROOM
Mr. Park.
It's this room, sir.
Cheon Dong-chil!
Dong-pal!
Do something!
-I'm all tied up.
-Hey, my neck is killing me.
Damn it. I want to go to the bathroom.
You don't know what I'm going through.
You can just pee anywhere. But for me…
-Hey.
-A chamber pot.
I'll figure something out.
I got it.
I hope you have a good time.
Thank you for the meal.
I guess you're close to the owner.
You must be a regular.
This is my business.
I run this place.
You run this restaurant?
This is why he told me to eat with her.
Yes.
That's right.
MR. DONG-CHIL
Yes, sir. Mr. Dong-gu is actually here--
Mr. Park! Help me.
What's wrong?
-Mr. Park.
-Sir.
Dong-pal!
Don't tell me that you…
Dong-chil.
A chamber pot?
Sir.
Luckily, the key
was in Mr. Dong-gu's room.
I won't let Dong-gu get away with this.
He's having dinner
in the Love Room with a lady.
-A woman?
-A female human?
-Dong-gu?
-Cheon Dong-gu?
Yes, he's dining with a woman.
-Just the two of them.
-Then…
So he actually has a girl.
We should hurry.
These days, Dong-gu's a ticking bomb too.
This siraegi jeon
is what we're promoting this season.
It's delicious.
-Plus, it's unique.
-I came up with the recipe.
-You make the menu, too?
-I told you. This is my business.
It must have been hard for you
to run a restaurant of this size.
How do you know that?
I don't need to hear the full story
to know that it probably wasn't easy.
It was really hard for me.
It was my friends' fault.
I didn't want to do it,
but my friends forced me.
I was just hanging on to the edge.
That's why all four of us got stuck here.
I have wings.
But I can't even fly
because the lead weighs down my wings.
Wings?
I told you. I'm a fairy.
Right.
You mean the wings that a fairy has?
You don't believe me?
You don't believe that I'm a fairy?
That's not important.
What's important is that
you piqued my curiosity now.
I don't know what you mean.
I want to know more about you.
You keep telling me that you're a fairy.
You're attractive.
You have that unexpected charm.
I'll get going first.
My wife's going to kill me
if I'm home late again.
You can't die. Go home.
-My mom told me to come home.
-You're still here? Go home.
-Yes.
-Bye.
-Bye.
-Bye.
-Bye.
-Great job today.
So…
-Did you see anything?
-I saw a lot.
They were just so lovey-dovey.
-Damn it.
-I thought I'd die of loneliness.
Did you see him change?
He didn't change.
Why doesn't he change?
I don't know
if Sang-hyuk's an alien or not.
But they're in love.
Why interfere with that?
This is so unlike you. Why are you going
after a girl who doesn't like you?
I don't know either! Before I know it,
I'm next to Baek-ryeon.
Before I know it, I'm worrying
about Baek-ryeon.
Maybe we knew each other
in our past lives.
My dream. It was in my dream.
A sword dripping with blood.
A sword dripping with blood?
-You mean your nightmares?
-Yes.
-That suddenly crossed my mind.
-When?
When Sang-hyuk and Baek-ryeon
were hugging.
Did you secretly watch them hug?
-Secretly? No.
-You just happened to be there.
You just happened to be there?
Well…
I felt the same rage
that day.
It was irrationally intense.
Maybe you two were ill-fated
in a past life.
Remember Detective Park?
His heart pounded a lot
whenever he saw Detective Go,
so he had a tough time too.
He saw his past life through hypnosis.
He's all okay now.
Why don't you go there too?
-Hypnosis?
-Yes.
Your obsession may decrease
after you see what was in your past life.
It's not an obsession!
Interest.
JONGSEO BARBECUE RESTAURAN
I'm full.
Get home safely.
-Okay, bye.
-Bye.
-You're going this way?
-Yes.
Drive slowly!
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm okay.
-Dong-pal.
-Dong-chil.
-Finally!
-It's back.
FELL OFF A CLIFF
AND SAW THE WINGS OF AN ANGEL
That's when I saw them.
Your wings.
I'm done.
Don't they look like this?
How did you see them?
When I put a flower petal
on top of my index finger
and counted to three,
I saw them.
Three.
That's how I recognized you.
Because you're the man
I'm destined to be with.
Q: WHAT DO YOU SEE?
A: FLOWERS. FLOWER POTS.
Q: WHAT ELSE DO YOU SEE?
A: ORIGAMI FROGS
By the way, I saw their house in my dream.
I choked up
for some reason, and I was sad.
You're leaving work soon, right?
I'll be there soon.
You're attractive.
You have that unexpected charm.
Do-ra!
Can't you see me? Do-ra!
Here's your bill.
Did the owner go somewhere?
-The owner?
-Mr. Cheon Dong-gu.
Who's Cheon Dong-gu?
This restaurant owner's name
is Mr. Park Seung-jun.
No, it's me.
He's just Mr. Park! I'm the real owner!
Do-ra!
Can't you see me?
Do-ra!
TOTAL AMOUNT: 285,000 WON
Your payment is complete.
Thank you.
No! No!
This can't be happening!
Do-ra. Do-ra!
Do-ra!
Do-ra!
What happened?
Hey, you two.
What are you doing?
-We're back.
-What happened?
Why did it stop?
You're having the same nightmare.
I see a sword dripping with blood
every single time.
One was a long sword,
and the other one was a short sword.
Were you scared when you saw that sword?
No, it wasn't fear.
It was rage.
I was so angry that I wanted to kill.
Now, breathe comfortably.
One.
Two.
One.
Two.
Go to that place you saw in your dream.
What do you see?
A court lady.
She's looking at a flower petal.
Please.
A court lady who's smiling.
If you can't give me your heart,
then you should die for me.
I can't die for you.
The only person I will die for is…
-You're Soon-yi's owner, right?
-Yes.
This way.
Soon-yi.
Hang in there. Please.
I think it's time for you to say goodbye.
Soon-yi.
Soon-yi.
Thank you for all the happy memories
these past 19 years.
Let's meet each other again.
Soon-yi…
I'm sure she was happy
to have a family who was sad
in her last moments
and remembers
the time they spent together.
You have someone like that too.
Goodness, your drawing looks amazing.
I got it.
I got my love.
That's when I saw them.
Your wings.
Don't they look like this?
I'll be with you wherever it may be.
What?
There is a way to change my fate?
It's your turn now.
Die for that fairy.
That's where a new bud will bloom.
You smell nice.
You smell like flowers.
You smiled. I guess we both like frogs.
I guess we both like frogs.
"When I called his name,
he came to me and became a flower."
You have two more people
who are just like these flowers.
I'm off to school.
That's why you feel like
you've been here before.
My goodness. Doctor Oh.
Ah-rom has gotten a lot better.
So I've been meaning to visit you.
What brings you here?
Well…
-She has a friend who lives around here.
-I see. Is that so?
Have you eaten?
We were about to have dinner.
Would you like to join us?
Come on in.
Come in.
Come on now.
Let's go in.
CERTIFICATE OF AWARD
YOO JEONG-AH
Can't you see the other girls?
Please? Please?
You're a kid. Stop saying
such ridiculous things.
You should eat now.
I'm not a kid. I'm a grown woman.
You may not know this,
but I'm very popular.
It's embarrassing for me
to say this myself, but…
Lean closer.
I'm known as one of
the top five most beautiful girls
in Sungin Girls' High School.
I see.
I got it. We should eat now.
Hurry up and eat.
I have something else to tell you.
Lean closer one more time.
The top five most beautiful girls
in Sungin Girls' High?
No, it's about something else.
Okay.
Hey, you can't do this.
You're in trouble.
You're my man now, Superman.
You didn't come here
to eat tteokbokki, right?
No.
SEOUL RECORDS
Kim Hyun-sik.
Could you do a gift wrapping?
-A gift?
-Yes.
Who are you giving it to?
To the man I've been chasing after
with everything I have.
He's a lucky guy.
A pretty lady like you is after him.
But he keeps saying no.
I'm so upset.
I can't believe I'm laughing
like this again.
Goodness. I told you,
it's like Jeong-ah is back.
I laughed a lot when she was around.
-Goodness. Doctor, you're crying again.
-My gosh.
I guess it's because
we keep talking about our daughter.
No.
-It's because the food tastes so good.
-You're a crybaby.
My daughter used to cry a lot, too.
Let's stop talking about her now.
May I be Jeong-ah for you?
I'll be Jeong-ah.
Thank you.
I love all the moments I was excited
and happy because I met you.
I love them all.
The first time I saw you and all the times
I spent with you since then.
As wild grass,
a wild flower,
a bug, and a butterfly.
After being reborn like that…
Even when I was 19 years old,
and 29 years old as well.
How did you--
Thank you for being by my side
and in front of me.
-Baek-ryeon.
-I love you.
No matter what you are.
