Hello.
I'm at the public parking lot near Inwangsan Mountain.
You will see me once you get here.
Yes. Okay.
They're on their way.
Did you wait a long time?
-No, it's fine. -Hello.
-Here's the key. -Thank you.
You can get in the car.
You're the guy from that night.
You're that stalker from Gugi-dong Food Alley.
Stalker?
Stalker? What are you talking about?
You were going to attack her. Weren't you?
No, I wasn't.
You got the wrong guy.
I saw this scar on your hand that night.
You got it wrong.
Right. I'll call the cops.
I'll tell you.
I'll tell you everything. Please don't turn me in.
Well,
the thing is…
I was crazy for a second.
Ever since Ms. Oh joined Gugi-dong Animal Hospital,
sales at my hospital dropped. I was out of my mind.
You tried to kill a person because of your sales?
Kill a person? It's not like that.
Kill? No. I would never kill a person.
I just wanted to scare her.
I wanted to scare her so she'd leave this neighborhood.
That's all.
I'm a part-timer. I was hired for this job.
I only took the job because she was paying me a lot.
I beg for your forgiveness.
Please forgive me. I won't do it again.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
Forgive my sins. Please forgive me.
I really felt like I was on the edge of a cliff.
The hospital's rent and the employees' salaries.
You would understand if your sales dropped.
It makes you go insane.
Get up. I'm taking you to the police station.
Ms. Oh. Please forgive me just this once.
-I beg you! -What are you doing? Get up.
How can you forgive her so easily?
She said she just wanted to scare me.
And as you can see, I didn't get hurt.
You think she wasn't going to hurt you? Do you actually believe what she said?
Just once, I'll give her the benefit of the doubt.
She's begging for forgiveness.
Tell your family what happened today.
For the time being, ask your dad to pick you up after work.
I don't have a dad.
How about your mom?
I don't have a mom either.
Then do you have…
I don't have an older brother or an older sister.
I have no siblings or relatives.
I'm all alone.
An orphan.
ANGEL ORPHANAGE
It was my birthday.
There wasn't even a note about when I was born or what my name was.
There was nothing left with me.
My goodness.
Let's name you Baek-ryeon.
Go, Baek-ryeon!
Enjoy your lunch.
-Yes, ma'am. -Yes, ma'am.
ANGEL ORPHANAGE
I think that's when it started.
I wasn't allowed to form bonds with people.
But I don't give up.
I'm going to climb the mountain a thousand times.
I'm going to meet the man I'm destined to be with, no matter what.
I deserve to have at least some warm memories…
with someone special.
Thank you for taking me home.
You saved me again today.
Thank you for that too.
Get home safely.
Bye.
Okay.
I have a story.
A reason I don't have a boyfriend.
I guess that's why everyone who got close to me…
They all got hurt.
A fortune teller said he will come to me
if I ask for forgiveness a thousand times.
The one I'm destined to be with.
I deserve to have at least some warm memories…
with someone special.
Goodness.
EP4. WHEN LOTUS FLOWERS BLOOM
To make a romance bloom,
you must pass the stage of "time."
"Time" means a very long time.
That's how relationships get started.
-I'm sorry. -It's okay.
After 500 times, they brush past each other.
After 5,000 times, they meet as neighbors.
I'm from downstairs. You make so much noise.
-I'm going crazy. -I'm sorry.
It takes 7,000 times
to be born in the same house as a family.
And finally after 8,000 times,
you are destined to be together as a married couple.
In short,
you have to wait a very long time to end up with your destined one.
You are a genius.
I'm a genius who can understand things even if they're not explained well.
You'd be perfect if you were more humble.
By the way,
you know what you said doesn't suit the culture these days, right?
What do you mean?
My parents are divorced.
That special connection between a couple. It's nothing these days.
One out of three couples gets divorced.
DESTINY
But it's still a very important connection.
It takes 8,000 times to make that happen.
What's the point though? They divorced.
Kids are the only ones who suffer.
I have to split my time between my parents.
But isn't it very boring
if the one you're destined to be with is already set in stone?
Very boring?
It means you end up with your destined one no matter what.
You end up with her, even without trying.
No, it doesn't blossom to just anyone.
It's up to them to bloom the flower.
They say, "There is a time for coming, there is a time for going."
What does that mean?
It refers to a special lover you meet
when you bloom flowers in this lifetime.
But in the end, it's up to us to make our love bloom.
We need to recognize each other.
The answer to that question is number two.
This is my answer.
The answer is number two, but my answer is number one.
That's how I think as a child. This is my assignment.
He reminds me of someone I know.
I'm already engaged.
You shouldn't do this.
It's okay. You can trust me.
Did you shoot at them?
No. Did you?
No.
I shot at them.
You shouldn't…
Hey, she said she's engaged. Why did you shoot at her?
She looked so worried about getting married.
Besides, they're in love with each other.
Everyone should have a memory of being with someone special.
My goodness.
Memories of love happen by the water mill.
Why a water mill?
Don't tell me you don't know.
Why would people who are in love come here all the time?
Why would they?
This is why yours are the smallest.
What's the point of shooting? You shoot at the wrong people.
Do these wings even work?
You know nothing.
Although my wings are the smallest, they work the best.
Did you see that?
It's always cool to see.
What did you do to get these cool wings?
By the water mill.
In the rice fields and field ridges. Under the mulberry tree.
I created billions of masterpieces of love.
You heard of Master Lee and Chunhyang? They're the talk of the town.
I'm the one who set them up.
Some people even wrote a novel about it.
Love should always move people.
I guess that's the secret.
Let's hang out together, my friend.
-Yes, my friend. -I'm your friend now?
Watch out.
What if her fiancé is the red thread of fate
that the god, Samsin, worked on for thousands of years?
Goodness, it looks delicious.
You little punks!
Who ate this? Who ate this?
-We didn't touch it. -Was it you?
The red thread of fate? The destined one?
It took them 8,000 times.
Samsin, the god of fate, puts the most effort into that thread.
A couple that's married without love.
It's like honey-filled rice cakes without honey.
Why did that old god leave out love for the married couple?
Isn't it torture to live with someone like that?
It's different.
Threads of fate are divided into times and karma.
Some people had a good thread in the past. They become a good couple now.
Some people have ill-fated threads from their past lives.
A married couple without the thread of fate is an ill-fated one.
Cheers.
Regardless of who you're meant to be with, you need the thrill of life at least once.
That's why humans need us.
A heart filled with passion for someone.
I think that's more important than fate.
More important than a couple's fate.
Just don't cross the line when you shoot.
-If you make Samsin mad-- -Don't worry.
Our arrows have a temporary effect.
It's over in the blink of an eye.
The couple's thread that the old god put so much effort into.
It can't be cut.
You think so?
It's a pain in the neck if the wrongly-matched ones meet.
If you meet a strong-willed guy…
If the first child couldn't become the Crown Prince,
shouldn't Prince Lee Seon ascend the throne as the second child?
So why is the youngest one next in line to the throne?
They say it's because His Majesty adores Her Majesty the Queen.
It's only right for Prince Lee Seon to continue the reign.
That's what all of us wanted.
Hey, watch what you say.
You could get into big trouble by saying things like that.
Who's going to have my heart?
Should I just give up this life?
Why would you give up?
I'll meet him no matter what.
-My love. -Your love?
You mean him?
I'm half way there.
Please let me meet him.
Please allow me to meet him.
That was a thousand times.
Now the flowers just need to bloom.
So-hee.
Your Highness.
What are you doing here?
I was just…
If you make a wish a thousand times, you meet your love?
Do you know what the ladies in the palace say?
-What do they say? -Everyone is disappointed
that you couldn't become the Crown Prince.
Why would the ladies be disappointed?
You are good-looking.
Of course we want you to become King.
Do you want me to become King too?
What?
I think…
If you meet someone with a strong will…
Why is this so hard?
Please, just one.
Please.
I'll meet the love of my life if I catch a plum blossom petal
on my index finger and hold it for three seconds.
Tonight, I'll check if this is true.
Just one would do.
Meet the love of your life? With this?
Why is this so hard?
I can't even dream of love because I'm a palace maid?
What's the point of getting a petal? She needs a man.
Just one…
Please.
I'm sorry, but fate has no man other than His Highness in store for you.
That's why I have to step in.
One.
Two.
Three.
What? Did she just smile at me?
I got it!
I got my love.
Your Highness.
So-hee, long time no see.
Are you here because you're worried about the King?
Yes.
But I couldn't meet him.
I was about to go back.
Your Majesty, please come back!
-Your Majesty, please come back! -Your Majesty!
-Your Majesty, please come back! -Your Majesty, please come back!
-Your Majesty! -Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty.
-Your Majesty! -Your Majesty!
It will only end if one of you dies.
We will make our move.
Your Highness, please make a decision.
We must end it once and for all.
Get rid of Prince Lee Seon at once,
for my little prince.
Don't worry, Your Highness.
Prince Lee Seon is as good as dead.
I have to tell him.
I have to tell His Highness about this.
It's the Queen's order! Don't let her get away.
Follow her! Get her.
Get the maid!
Get her!
Over here!
Are you okay?
Are you all right?
Why am I here?
How did I end up here?
I remember falling off the cliff.
What happened?
What's going on?
Who did this?
It's me.
I saved you.
Prince Lee Seon.
His Highness!
I saved your life, but you're looking for another man right away.
Jeez.
The wound isn't healed yet.
Stay out of this.
That maid and Prince Lee Seon.
They're meant to be a couple in the afterlife.
That is why she was meant to have fallen off the cliff that night
and died for Prince Lee Seon.
Humans and fairies are not meant to be together.
Those wings show that you and that woman live in different worlds.
So stop messing
with the threads of fate I've been making.
What's wrong with him?
Is he crazy?
No way.
-He got shot. -With what?
Sir!
There's another person who bought the flower-patterned umbrella.
LIMITED EDITION FLOWER-PATTERNED UMBRELLA
On December 21st, there was heavy snowfall.
The whereabouts of a woman in her 40s who went missing in the public parking lot
near Inwangsan Mountain on the same day still remain unknown.
Detectives at Jongseo Police Station, investigating the case, are searching
for the woman who drank makgeolli with her that night.
According to Ms. Ham, the owner of the makgeolli restaurant,
the two ladies met for the first time that night.
They shared the table on the spot.
What can I do to increase the views of my video?
Then they parted ways after that.
Gosh.
This is the last page.
They forgot to send this one.
This lady is the one who meets all the conditions.
-I'll be back. -To find out…
-Bye. -…if she was the last one
to see the missing woman, the police are narrowing down the identity
based on a specific brand's flower-patterned umbrella
that the woman was seen using that night.
Who is it?
This is the police.
Who is it, again?
I'm a police officer.
A police officer? How can I help you?
You bought that umbrella, right?
It was launched by the spa brand, Seven Minute.
It's a limited edition flower pattern.
Yes. It's right over there.
You went to Inwangsan Mountain on December 21st, right?
-Inwangsan Mountain? -Yes. You came down.
Then you had makgeolli and jeon at Yeon-ja's.
Yeon-ja's?
Where is that?
And I don't like the mountains.
Why would I hike? It makes my legs big.
By any chance,
do you remember what you did on December 21st?
I'm not sure.
It's been so long.
There was a heavy snow fall.
That night it snowed a lot?
I worked late that night.
-You worked late? -Yes.
When I got off work at 11 p.m. and came home,
it was past midnight.
Baek-ryeon.
Mr. Superman.
What brings you here so early in the morning?
Baek-ryeon.
Do you have to love?
-Excuse me? -Do you want to fall in love?
Yes.
Then trust me.
I'm the man
you've been waiting for.
What?
So you're the one I've been waiting for all this time?
-That's right. -Really?
Trust me.
-I trust you. -I--
Yes, you.
I will set you up with a guy.
I am that fairy, Cupid.
What?
I'm that man you've been waiting for.
No, not that. What did you say after that?
After that?
-"I'll set you up with a guy"? -Yes, that.
Set me up with a guy?
Yes. I'll set you up with a decent guy.
How will you set me up?
Well…
Tell me your ideal type. I'll find someone who meets--
Someone young and good-looking.
Were you waiting for me to ask? That was fast.
It's my ideal type.
You should give it more thought before telling me.
What's there to think? It's obvious.
Obvious?
Men like young women who are pretty.
It's the same for women. We like good-looking young men.
Women like men who are young and good-looking too?
Oh, my.
-Do you mean it? -Why wouldn't I?
Why didn't I know about this?
Women don't show it like men do. But women are the same.
Women like new men more than the same men they've already met.
New men? What?
What can you do? That's my ideal type.
Do you think you can set me up?
Then can't you just choose one?
It's going to take some time for me to find someone young and handsome.
I don't have enough time for that.
It can't be an ideal type if I only choose one trait.
That would mean compromising with reality.
But it doesn't seem right.
What do you mean?
I mean…
That's not what I was thinking at all.
Tell me your ideal type.
My ideal type?
Thank you so much! What's my ideal type?
Baek-ryeon,
I'm very flustered.
I feel very flustered too.
Why would you be flustered?
You said your ideal type as if you were waiting for it.
Why don't you know how I feel when you're the man I've been waiting for?
Am I supposed to be able to read your mind or something?
Of course. You're the one I've been waiting for. You should know.
How can I possibly read your mind?
You can't even read my mind.
You seem very incompetent.
What did you say?
Incompetent? Me?
I've never heard that before.
I'm so offended.
I'm very offended too.
I shouldn't have said that.
Why are you here acting like the man I've been waiting for so early in the day?
I am the man you've been waiting for.
I'm someone very important to you.
You shouldn't look down on me like this.
I'll see about that.
Set me up with a young good-looking guy.
Then I'll acknowledge you.
You better set me up with my ideal guy.
Set me up with a guy?
He was saying things like this last time too.
What did I do wrong?
GUGI-DONG ANIMAL HOSPITAL
Why did he come so early in the morning just to spout nonsense like that?
You scared me!
Why are you so upset?
The plum blossom guy isn't falling for you?
-How did you know? -I told you.
You're in love with the guy.
Ddaeng-chil's guardian, right?
How do you do that?
I saw everything.
Welcome.
Come here.
Let's check on it.
You're very quick-witted.
Well, I dated a lot of men before I got married.
So tell me, what's the problem?
Well.
I bumped into him a lot recently.
So I've been thinking of him time to time.
You thought he was the man of your dreams.
Last time, he even saved me from getting attacked.
-He came out of nowhere like Superman. -Superman?
That's not good.
First of all, that tight suit itself is very dangerous.
Plus, he should be saving you only. But he saves every girl out there.
What a jerk.
He doesn't want to date anyone though.
He said he just doesn't.
-He doesn't want to? -No.
And you believe that?
What?
Check his cell phone.
Assistant Kim, Chief Choi, Manager Park and Mr. Han.
There will be many guys with different titles on his contact list.
Call them.
It will be all women who answer the phone.
Really?
So, keep talking.
Then I developed feelings for him.
-But he keeps-- -He keeps what?
He keeps trying to set me up with someone else.
He's such an amateur unlike how he looks.
-An amateur? -He's testing you.
He's testing me?
Men do that a lot.
They like you, but they say they'll introduce you to a friend.
So you think, "Fine. Go ahead." And you go to see this friend.
They bring someone who's uglier and less successful than them.
-Why do you think they do that? -Why?
So they can look like the better catch.
It's all a part of their plan.
How dare he try to pull something like that on you!
I have a feeling that guy's coming again today.
What?
He'll keep using other guys as an excuse to come.
I don't think he will come.
I got mad at him this morning.
Then he'll try even harder to come to make it up to you.
Just wait. He'll come.
How young does he have to be?
Well…
Hi, honey.
Did you drink?
Did you drink a lot?
Don't just go to sleep. Wash up and go to bed.
You need to brush your teeth.
Stop nagging?
You want me to hang up?
All right, then. Good night, my baby.
He's going to sleep without even washing up. How filthy.
-He's no good either. -How can you date someone so young?
What do you even talk about with someone who's 12 years younger?
You know nothing.
It's harder to date someone my age.
Why?
They're not interested in us.
The older men get, they want younger and prettier women.
-But you know what's good? -What?
We don't care about them either.
We want men who are young and handsome too.
We look forward to seeing a fresh face instead of the usual, familiar face.
Four years younger.
How old are you right now?
-I'm 29. -Then he has to be 25.
How good-looking does he have to be?
As handsome as Won Bin, Hyun Bin, Zo In-sung.
Where can I find a man like that?
Four years younger and as handsome as Won Bin, Hyun Bin and Zo In-sung?
Are you sure you want to date someone from this world?
-You said you would help. -I shouldn't have said that.
I hope it's a guy who doesn't know that he's handsome.
Men who are aware that they're handsome can be annoying.
A good-looking man knows he's good-looking.
How can he not know? He sees himself in the mirror every day.
Everywhere he goes, women show how much they love him.
It sounds like you're speaking from first-hand experience.
There's one more thing.
I don't want to listen.
-This is really important. -I don't want to know.
It must be someone who won't get hurt.
Someone who will never get hurt.
This is the most important thing.
Mr. Superman, why are you trying so hard?
Why do you keep trying to find me a man?
-Tell me. -I don't want you to be lonely.
Since you have been so lonely until now…
I want you to be with a good man, even for just a bit,
and to be extremely happy.
I'll do my best to find a man who fits your ideal type.
All right, then.
Let's go.
Since you've been so lonely until now,
I want you to be with a good man, even for just a bit,
and to be extremely happy.
Hello.
Shall we go in?
Okay.
Alexandra got so much better.
Dogs know that you care about them.
I guess she knows how you feel.
It's all thanks to your dedication.
I guess she did a lot of good things in her past life.
She recovered so quickly and met such a good guardian.
Dr. Oh, do you believe in past lives?
Sorry?
Do you believe in past lives?
Well,
we all think like that.
We say you did many good things in your past life when you're lucky.
We do?
What kind of relationship do you think she and I had in our past lives?
I got to meet you thanks to Alexandra.
Who do you think we were to each other in a past life?
JONGSEO POLICE STATION
There is such a thing.
Ill-fated relationships in your past life.
Ever since Chief Go Yeong-ja came,
I told you that my heart started to ache for no reason!
Right, you did. You went to see so many doctors.
-But they said you were fine. -Right.
There was a reason for that.
Past life.
You missed the culprit?
You missed him when you almost got him?
Are you an idiot?
You're doing it again.
Stop it with your acting! Geez!
I was put under hypnosis because I was the witness.
-I saw-- -What do you see?
The yard.
I see a huge yard.
What are you doing there?
I'm sweeping my yard.
What else do you see?
The lady of the house is smiling at me.
Gosh, it's hot.
The lady of the house?
Hey, Ggeok-soe.
Why don't you come up here and have a yakbap?
Pardon?
A yakbap?
Yes, ma'am.
-It looks tasty, right? -Since then,
she called me every night.
She says she wants to have yakbap with me.
-Ma'am, I just want this. -Let's have a good time.
Ma'am!
I ran away that night,
from that passionate lady of the house.
And you ran into her again in Homicide Unit Three?
That's a fateful reunion between superior and subordinate.
Your hierarchies don't even change in your next life.
Jeez!
Anyway, I got better after I found out about my past life.
It was liberating.
Does it really exist?
Past lives.
It does exist.
I believe in it.
Sir.
Sir. You're here.
My handsome Chief Seo is here.
Enjoy yourselves.
SEOUL NATIONAL POLICE AGENCY
CRIME INVESTIGATION HYPNOSIS ROOM
Hypnosis is a science.
That's why we have this room in the National Police Agency.
Detective Park's memory led to his past life that day
so I got a bit flustered.
Past life is a type of memory.
But the memory that we adopt is just a real-life memory.
The human brain shows brain waves called beta waves in a state of consciousness,
alpha waves in a state between consciousness and unconsciousness,
and theta waves in a state of complete unconsciousness.
From a state of relaxation, you become highly focused
and access memories stored somewhere in your brain.
That's how hypnosis works.
What do you see?
That man got out of the car.
Look at the license plate. What's the license plate number?
Six, two, four, nine.
Our job is to use those memories to find crucial clues for the cases.
Could that number be wrong?
It depends on her state of mind.
But they're usually right.
KIM HYUNG-RAE
-Is he handsome? -Yes.
He's popular with female customers. Many women give him their numbers.
Then he probably knows that he's handsome.
No, he's humble.
When someone compliments him, he'd say "No, I'm not."
"That's so sweet of you." This is how he reacts.
Well, he's nice.
How about this man?
IM HAN-JUN
He's not as handsome as the previous one. But he's still charming.
How is he charming?
He's funny.
-Funny? -He has an excellent sense of humor.
He's good at laughing and making people laugh.
But he's a bit old.
He's only 32.
He has to be really young.
Yes.
JEONG DONG-HYUN
Does he look like Won Bin, Hyun Bin and Zo In-sung?
No.
Is this for the lady with whom you had dinner?
Yes, I'm trying to set her up with a good man.
But you can see the thread of fate.
Unlike the other three, it's a side effect caused by dozens of transformations here.
You can just shoot the man who's connected to her by the red thread of fate.
Why are you doing this?
She doesn't have the red thread of fate.
Is that possible?
It's my first time seeing someone who doesn't have the red thread of fate.
How cute.
You're adorable.
I'm so jealous.
-Goodness. -You're so cute.
Sir.
What was Sang-hyuk's first love like?
Why do you ask?
I've always been curious.
Who did he fall in love with to burn his own wings
and spend 500 years here?
I don't know what Sang-hyuk's first love means to him.
But the ending was heartbreaking, as you can guess.
A terrible regret.
None of those things would've happened if he hadn't fallen in love with her.
Goodness, you're sweating so much.
Is it the same dream again? I feel bad for you.
Even if we sleep in the car, we need to sleep deeply.
Goodness.
Are you looking for something?
My notebook.
I think I left it at the apartment earlier.
Hold on a second.
I'm sorry.
I'm going to the sixth floor too.
-You can go first. -Okay.
Who are you?
Are you her boyfriend?
No, I'm not.
I'm a police officer.
The police? What brings you here? Did she do something wrong?
No, she didn't.
I came earlier to ask your daughter something, but I forgot my stuff.
You did?
All right.
Maybe she isn't home.
Ma'am, do you not know the passcode?
-Please wait here for a minute. -Okay.
Ye-won.
The police are investigating a case of a woman in her 40s who went missing
near Inwangsan Mountain on December 21st. There was heavy snow on that day.
The police believe it may be more than just a missing case
due to the deaths of witnesses as they continue to investigate.
Reporter Choi Ji-won has more on the story.
The case of a woman in her 40s who went missing remains unsolved.
The woman in her 20s, whom the police investigated,
was found dead two days ago.
In addition, Ms. Ham, in her 60s, and Mr. Kim, in his 50s,
who had been interviewed as witnesses, died in a fire and a fall respectively.
The police are investigating the possible connection
between the case and the deaths.
