01x14 - Our Personal Hell

[bunniefuu]

THIS DRAMA IS FICTIONAL,

AND IS NOT RELATED IN ANY WAY

TO ACTUAL PERSONS, PLACES,

ORGANIZATIONS, SETTINGS, AND EVENTS

It seems like your hell has just begun.

Let me know if you find the book.

Who knows?

That might be…

your ticket out of hell.

It's all his doing!

Noh Suk-min k*lled

both his mother and Do-gyeong!

He was also the one

who tried to k*ll Do Do-hee.

Noh Suk-min, that b*stard,

is the devil.

My mother used to believe in nothing,

let alone have any religion.

But she started going to confession

day in and day out after their death!

Why do you think?

What was she so desperate to wash away?

Just what was she so afraid of?

All the favors and affection

she showered on you

were actually her ticket to heaven.

That's a lie.

You're lying!

Then ask her yourself.

Whether she's in heaven or hell,

go ask her yourself!

Are you all right, sir?

Sir!

Sir!

Sir!

I finally get to witness your powers.

k*ll me

so we can go to hell together.

You'll cease to exist if you k*ll a human.

Knowledge without power

can be dangerous.

Gu-won!

I may not be allowed to k*ll you,

but tormenting you is no problem.

You'll end up begging me to k*ll you.

That's enough, Gu-won.

Let's hand him over to the police.

There's no point.

There won't be any evidence whatsoever.

You won't be able to touch

a hair on my head.

There is one piece of evidence

you failed to get rid of.

Kim…

Se-ra.

For a long time,

my husband had been anxious

that his mother wouldn't let him

take over her position.

So he made preparations.

How did you gather all this information

without him knowing?

He thinks…

I'm oblivious.

Family is always the problem.

You should've been nicer to your family.

Make a deal with me.

You can take my soul or anything you want.

But please,

make sure all this is kept secret.

I'll leave Do-hee alone from now on.

I promise.

Like I'd believe that.

You're downright evil.

Wicked scumbags like you

are taking away my job.

Give up, Noh Suk-min.

You have nowhere to flee to.

You're wrong.

I can still flee to hell.

No!

EPISODE 14

OUR PERSONAL HELL

All this for the chairman position?

Is he the devil or what?

I can't believe Noh Suk-min

had everyone fooled all this time.

Have you contacted his family?

Yes, I've contacted

Ms. Noh Su-ahn and Mr. Ju Seok-hoon.

Come to think of it,

they're related to

the victim and the suspect.

Goodness.

Ms. Noh.

Is it true?

Did my brother really k*ll my mother?

I'm afraid so.

Chairman Noh Suk-min of Mirae Group

committed suicide

by jumping from a building.

-The Mirae Group chairman?

-He had been accused of

murdering the late Chairwoman Ju,

which caused a stir.

He also turned out to be the mastermind

behind the recent embezzlement

and corporate malfeasance

on an astronomical scale.

With his body still missing,

the police…

Is he really dead?

If he were alive,

I would be able to find him.

I tried to find him

by using my powers,

but it didn't work.

I should've arrived sooner.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

This is nothing.

Mr. Jeong.

Sorry for coming by unannounced.

Are you coming from the police station?

How's Do-hee holding up?

Have they found the body?

Not yet.

The search is proving to be difficult.

Apparently, it can take up to a month

for a body to float up during winter.

How's his wife?

The police will likely

look into the case immediately,

as her testimony was so detailed.

By the way, how did you persuade her?

I simply made her face reality.

Humans really are the scariest.

He k*lled his own mother

and framed his son for it.

He used his entire family

as a means to his end.

Humans do more inhumane things

than any other creature.

Noh Suk-min…

told me something strange.

What was it?

That Madam Ju

k*lled my parents.

What? That's absurd.

Don't tell me you buy that.

I know it's absurd.

But it bothers me.

There's no reason

for her to have done that.

He said my dad visited her

on the day my parents passed.

Since a big investment was in sight,

he blackmailed her.

Don't let it get to you, Do-hee.

I'm sure he made that up

to hurt you even in his last moments.

What do you think

about what Noh Suk-min said?

It can't be true.

It better not be.

Aunt Cheon-suk is the one

who got Do-hee out of hell.

If it turns out she was actually the one

who put Do-hee through hell,

Do-hee will be completely devastated.

It would mean the world

she thought she knew

was nothing but a lie.

Gu-won.

Yes?

I just

wanted to know if you were there.

I'm right here, holding you.

Keep calling my name.

I'll answer every time.

Gu-won.

Yes, Do-hee.

Gu-won.

Yes, Do-hee.

Gu-won.

Yes, I'm here.

CHAIRMAN NOH SUK-MIN OF MIRAE GROUP

JUMPS TO HIS DEATH

CEO Do Do-hee

is said to have been at the scene

when Chairman Noh Suk-min

jumped from the building…

Please refer to our official statement.

-The article was inappropriate.

-It's a personal tragedy,

-but time will hopefully heal all wounds.

-We're not planning

any interviews.

Our official statement…

-Hello? Are you there?

-Hello?

Are you listening? Hello?

Stop wasting your energy

on unreasonable requests

and get back to work.

Should we

perform an exorcism or something?

An exorcism?

People keep dying.

There must be a reason.

I bet our company

is under a curse or something.

An exorcism would cost a fortune.

Also, I'm not sure

if it'll have any effect.

Should I talk to Ms. Do?

-About the exorcism?

-Yes.

I said get back to work.

-Yes, ma'am.

-Yes, ma'am.

Ma'am,

there are reporters everywhere.

Maybe we should form a human shield

and help Ms. Do get through or something.

Good morn…

Nope, just a morning.

How did she get through the crowd?

Do you want me to give you more work?

There's no need.

I'm busy working on the event.

We're so busy, right?

Let's hurry up.

Come in.

You got here safely.

It's thanks to Gu-won's powers.

It's chaos out there.

But let's be patient.

Things will blow over soon.

Do I need to sign something?

This isn't for me.

It is for you.

Look, are you trying

to drive me out with this?

It's not like that.

It's just that we've had

a streak of bad luck.

Don't worry. Everything's over now.

You're more gullible than you look.

It was expensive!

Here.

I appreciate the gesture, Ms. Shin.

Understood.

You're surprisingly similar to Mr. Park.

I guess she has an even stronger talisman

right next to her.

Come in.

Ms. Jin Ga-young is here to see you.

Dig in.

This is the best meal

you can get around here.

Tomorrow's my last performance.

Is this an apology?

I don't believe in apologies.

As if a few words could undo everything.

People apologize

to feel better about themselves.

It was wrong of me

to deceive you

and for wanting Ms. Do dead.

Just look the other way.

Do Do-hee has to die for you to live!

If you ended up

in the same situation again,

would you make a different choice?

No.

This is who I am

and my way of loving Director Jeong.

I'll try to understand.

You once told me

we had something in common.

I, for one, will try to understand you.

Now, dig in.

-Sweep more over there.

-Yes, sir.

SUNNY SPOT RICE SOUP

-Boss.

-Look alive.

We've left the underworld

and taken on a lawful occupation

under the sun.

I…

Blabbermouth!

Yes, sir!

What is it, sir?

Look at the sign.

Aren't those chives and not scallions?

I'm sorry, sir.

I'll take care of it!

Please take care of it, chef.

Yes, sir.

Excuse me!

Those aren't scallions!

For crying out loud.

Real men

need big scallions!

I asked for scallions!

-We got it.

-What did I do wrong?

We serve you with love.

Welcome to Sunny Spot Rice Soup.

I think this belongs to you.

Goodbye then.

Noh Suk-min said

that Ju Cheon-suk

k*lled Do-hee's parents.

Is this news to you?

It is.

But if he said that,

I'm sure he meant it.

He believed that his mother

was capable of even worse things.

Director Jeong!

Is it true that Noh Do-gyeong

wasn't the culprit?

Just how many culprits are there?

We seem to end up

with a new culprit at every turn.

Is it certain this time?

-Mr. Park.

-Yes?

Let's say…

that you believed

someone pulled you out of hell.

But it turns out…

that person was actually the one

who threw you into hell.

What would you do?

I'd cut ties with the person.

When someone hurts you,

cutting ties is the best remedy.

What if the person is dead?

Then all ties are cut. Problem solved.

Who are you talking about anyway?

Ju Cheon-suk.

She may have…

k*lled Do-hee's parents.

Hold on.

What do you mean she may have k*lled them?

Did she k*ll them or not?

It was what Noh Suk-min said,

so it isn't clear yet.

What the…

He dumped that on you before he died?

He must be the real culprit.

He was evil to the very end.

So that's why you look so down.

I guess it's complicated.

The truth would be

too frightening to dig up

but would weigh on your mind

if you didn't.

But if I were her…

What?

I would deny it and move on.

Is it even possible…

to move on from that?

It'd hurt every now and then

like a thorn in your side.

Still,

I'd choose imperfect happiness

over the painful truth.

The articles about our new product's

sales figures should be out by now.

CHAIRMAN NOH SUK-MIN'S BODY STILL MISSING

My mother used to believe in nothing,

let alone have any religion.

But she started going to confession

day in and day out after their death!

Why do you think?

What was she so desperate to wash away?

Just what was she so afraid of?

MIRAE ELECTRONICS INDUSTRIAL ACCIDEN

MIRAE ELECTRONICS' FIRST OFFICIAL

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF INDUSTRIAL ACCIDEN

CEO JU CHEON-SUK ON HER KNEES

I'll expose everything.

How dare you blackmail me?

What do you want?

Wait and see.

It won't go as you want.

All the favors and affection

she showered on you

were actually her ticket to heaven.

Ta-da!

It's been over 20 years

since your parents passed.

You can stop commemorating

their death anniversary.

Just celebrate your birthday.

How long have you worked for Madam Ju?

I worked for her for about 20 years

before working for you.

Were you there

when she acknowledged

Mirae Electronics' industrial accident

for the first time?

Yes.

I had just started working

as her secretary then.

When did she start using a cane?

She was already using it

when I first met her.

It was around when you first met her.

At your parents' funeral.

Did something

happen back then?

She never explained why.

We were just told

that it was a chronic illness.

Gu-won.

What should I do?

Madam Ju disapproved of my commemorating

the death anniversary of my parents

on my birthday.

She kept urging me

to forget the unfortunate past.

If what Noh Suk-min said is true,

and Madam Ju really did deceive me,

then what should I do?

I feel

like I'm caught in a trap.

Do you remember

the text Ju Cheon-suk sent you

before she died?

She said that she loved you.

I LOVE YOU, DO-HEE

Even while dying in pain,

she texted you to express her love.

Humans become

the most honest with themselves

when faced with death.

That's what I've witnessed

for the last 200 years.

You're right.

Too bad the dead tell no tales.

One word with her

and everything would be solved.

Right?

There is a way…

to hear from Madam Ju.

How can you hear from Ju Cheon-suk here?

She was close with the priest here

named Father Michael.

He might

be able to tell us something.

How would he know anything?

Father.

I see.

Through confession.

It's been a while, Do-hee.

This is my husband.

I'm Father Michael.

Jeong Gu-won.

He speaks rather peculiarly.

You must not be from around here.

By the way,

how was Ms. Ju's funeral?

I was volunteering in Mongolia

and couldn't make it.

It was an eventful day.

I read about it in the newspaper.

I heard that Suk-min is dead.

That's the reason I'm here.

He told me something strange

before he died.

Could you

give us some privacy?

Can you wait outside?

Call me if something happens.

Okay.

I have a bad feeling about him.

I guess it's finally time.

Ms. Ju…

felt guilty until the very end…

for not being completely honest with you.

Father.

I can't go to heaven, can I?

But there is something I fear more…

than going to hell.

I'm afraid of…

not receiving her forgiveness.

Your own mind is keeping you in hell.

It's time you confessed the truth

and freed yourself.

The truth…

If I can't find the courage

before I die…

and…

if Do-hee asks for the truth,

then I ask…

for you to tell her.

Was this your order?

Did you order

the work environment measurement data

to be tampered with?

It's only for a while.

I'll replace the dust collectors

once the investment is finalized.

"Only for a while"?

People might die in the meantime.

Are you saying you're going to exchange

people's lives with the investment?

There's an order to everything.

Certain risks must be accepted

in pursuit of greater goals.

But you're not the one at risk!

By doing this, you're sacrificing

your employees who trust you

for your own personal gain!

The company is at a crossroads.

An investment offer this big

doesn't come by so often!

There's nothing to be done.

Every goal

requires some collateral damage.

You leave me no choice.

I'll expose everything.

How dare you blackmail me?

What do you want?

Is it money?

I just want you to take responsibility

and make sure this doesn't happen again.

You're the one

who quit the company and took off.

What gives you the right?

This is my company.

You didn't build it alone.

It was built

on the blood, sweat, and tears

of everyone who works here!

Honey, you should stop.

We're running out of time.

Wait and see.

It won't go as you want.

My wife will send over detailed documents

to your office.

Hundreds of people's lives

are on the line.

This has to be made public.

After what I've been through

to build this company,

how dare you try to destroy it?

Honey.

I need to take care of this

before I die.

I'll stop you if it's the last thing I do.

With my own two hands.

It's time, honey.

Don't worry.

I'll have time to see Do-hee before I go.

No!

MY DARLING DAUGHTER DO-HEE

Wake up.

Honey.

Honey.

Please save my wife.

You can't make a wish.

You already made a deal with me

ten years ago.

Please, I can't leave Do-hee on her own.

You'll die of a heart attack.

Do-hee.

Do-hee.

What on earth…

have you done?

From the look in your eyes,

I can tell you're desperate for something.

What?

Do you want me to grant your wish?

I can make your deepest wish come true

and give you the life you want.

Just pay me back after ten years.

After ten years,

your soul will end up in hell.

You must be…

the devil.

Ms. Ju

regretted that night all her life.

She kept blaming herself

for what had happened,

thinking things would've gone differently

had she not followed them.

What did he say?

Noh Suk-min lied.

Then why do you look so down?

I feel bad for doubting Madam Ju

even for a moment.

Let's go.

I'll wash up and go to bed.

Do-hee.

Don't worry.

I'm just tired.

The event that night

changed Ms. Ju's attitude

toward life forever.

Her encounter with the actual devil…

finally stopped her

from being a devil herself.

Are you heading out?

Yes, to sign a new deal.

I tend to be more productive at night.

Go to bed.

Don't wait up.

You're back.

You must have realized who I was…

seeing as this doesn't surprise you.

Why would I be surprised?

Your existence

proves the existence of God.

So you think God has your back.

Actually, I've been expecting you.

Leave Do-hee.

You're a danger to her.

You can't stay with her.

Maybe it's your profession,

but you seem very prejudiced against me.

I'm harmless.

At least to Do-hee.

Aren't you curious

how I know about you?

An extraordinary aura

and a peculiar way of speaking.

The moment I saw you,

I knew you were the devil

Ms. Ju spoke of.

Are you saying Ju Cheon-suk had met me?

She was there to witness

you leading

Do-hee's father to hell.

You can't make a wish.

You already made a deal with me

ten years ago.

Please, I can't leave Do-hee on her own.

You must be…

the devil.

Not recognizing someone

after such a long time

isn't all that uncommon.

As you know,

humans wear out quickly and easily.

But to think

the repetition of the unfortunate fate

that you were so anxious to avoid

had already taken place.

So you knew everything.

As I said,

you had to figure it out yourself.

Humans think I control everything.

But…

I'm a mere companion

on the journey of everything.

Madam Ju.

I promised to come back in a better mood,

but I couldn't keep my promise.

If you'd been honest with me,

would I still have fallen in love

with Gu-won?

What could've been my dad's wish?

I must find out…

what kind of deal my dad made.

Who knows

if Gu-won saved my dad's life?

CONTRACT EXPIRATION

Ms. Do.

Today's my last performance.

We couldn't get along,

but I wanted to say goodbye.

Are you never coming back to Korea?

No.

You should be careful.

This is what happens

when a human falls in love with a demon.

I was joking.

I hope you'll be happy

whether you're with Director Jeong or not.

Thank you.

I'll be happy.

-Please participate in the event.

-Thank you.

Please give us a good review.

-Thank you.

-Enjoy.

The colors are so pretty.

-Can I try it?

-Please go ahead.

It's super popular

on social media these days.

Will I become popular if I drink this?

Please give us a good review.

-Have a nice day.

-Try our drinks.

Thank you.

I'll carry it.

No, thank you.

Then should we carry it together?

I'm so happy to see you two

-getting along so--

-I got it.

So she's got it.

Please give us a good review.

Thank you.

Mr. Park.

Hello.

Where's Director Jeong?

He went to sign a deal.

He's been working so hard

since he got his powers back.

Can we talk in private?

In private?

Mr. Park, the director's looking for you.

Go ahead. I can wait.

I won't be long.

Will you wait in Director Jeong's office?

-Sure.

-All right.

-Hurry.

-Okay.

An urgent call of nature?

-Things are more urgent for us, Mr. Park.

-Okay.

Let's redo it!

I want to sign a new deal!

Where is he?

He's supposed to be here.

It's you, isn't it?

We signed a deal ten years ago.

We finally meet again.

I've been looking everywhere for you!

The deal's off.

You can take back

my money, my success, everything.

You came all the way here to say that?

Back then, all I cared about was success.

I had my priorities all wrong

and made a stupid choice.

I've regretted my choice

every single day since.

I beg you.

I'll cough up everything I wished for,

so please spare my life.

What do you humans think a demon is?

Do I look like some angel?

Please…

Watch carefully.

This is what a demon is.

KIM JI-YEON

"Kim Ji-yeon."

HONG SEOK-YEONG

PARK MIN-CHEOL

So all of these

are the names of those

who made deals with him?

SHIN JU-YEON

OH GYU-TAE

PARK GYEONG-MIN

My dad's name was also…

DO WON-JUN

When did you get here?

A human whose contract

was about to expire…

just barged into my office.

Your office?

Do Do-hee just went there.

SUNWOL FOUNDATION

Do-hee.

Is something wrong?

Do-hee.

Do-hee.

I don't know what happened,

but drink some water and calm down.

What's wrong? What happened?

Did something happen

between you and Mr. Jeong?

The people I love…

have become my hell.

I loved them with all my heart,

but now I resent them to death.

You were right.

I'll end up…

making Do-hee miserable anyway.

That's just who I am.

That's not just because you're a demon.

Humans

are always each other's personal hell.

Do-hee.

I must find out

what kind of deal my dad made.

The event that night…

Her encounter with the actual devil

finally stopped her

from being a devil herself.

Ms. Ju felt guilty until the very end

for not being completely honest with you.

She was there to witness

you leading

Do-hee's father to hell.

If you'd been honest with me,

would I still have fallen in love

with Gu-won?

MIRAE F&B

Let's go for a walk.

Are you cold?

No.

Do-hee.

-We--

-Let's finish decorating

the Christmas tree tonight.

I should also book the couple set

that we couldn't have last time.

I hope it's still available.

I don't think…

we can spend Christmas together.

Do-hee.

Save yourself…

from hell.

Gu-won.

Gu-won.

Gu-won.

Gu-won disappeared,

and my salvation came to an end.



The more you loved me,

the more you suffered.

Still you continued to love me.

We would've ended up like this anyway.

I'm going away for a bit.

Until Do-hee

gets her happy ending without me.

Everything's back to normal, that's all.

Do you think this can hurt me?

No way. I'm fine.

It's been a week,

and Chairman Noh Suk-min's body

is still missing.

Could it be…

They have yet to find any clues

regarding the chairman.
