All right.

He has an amazing talent.

Let's find out.

He just needs to lift it up.

Will he manage?

How amazing!

EXCLUSIVE!
FASCINATING WORLD

Talent shows and tricks
were popular back in the day.

Some were truly talented and eccentric.

But there were also scammers

who brazenly lied in front of the cameras.

How long have you two
been living together?

Next up are an adorable set of twins.

Please come to the stage!

I heard that you guys are telepathic.

It's not telepathy.

He-- I mean, my brother

can feel exactly what I feel.

I see. Give me an example.

If I'm afraid or in pain,

he's also afraid or in pain.

It doesn't happen all the time.
It comes and goes.

Can you prove that you're special?

-Not really--
-Yes, we can.

Our father, an overly eager man,

turned us into eccentric twins.

Twin telepathy?

Stop teasing us.
You don't have that superpower.

-That's not a superpower.
-Stop it.

I don't want to.

-Rock, paper, scissors.
-Rock, paper, scissors.

I don't need it.

I wish I never had it.

Why do you say that?

I'm pretty jealous.

There must be a good reason…

for your abilities.

No.

There was no reason, Father.

-All I could do was feel.
-Gyeyoung.

-I couldn't do anything.
-Gyeyoung.

Gyeyoung!

So what use was this ability?

Hello?

Hello--

Jeez.

About that woman from the restaurant…

-I'll come back another time. Bye.
-What? Tell me your address.

-Hello.
-Wait.

You two may be questioned…

Do you think she's okay?

I'm not sure.
But she'll come back if she isn't.

Ma'am.

Right. Probably.

Back then,

we had no idea whom we had sent.

And I bet he has no idea

what's in that fridge either.

Because we never thought

he'd take our fridge.

ROSE RESTAURANT

Hello.

Can I help you?

Well…

Is everything okay?

I'd like to ask you the same.
Are you okay?

Sorry?

Of course.

I'm fine.

I'm totally fine.

Don't be ridiculous.

I'm jobless
and have nothing to worry about.

You look pretty concerned about something.

You see, I was just passing by

and thought I should say hi.

We were never close enough to say hi.

-And I wondered if you had dinner already.
-When were you so interested in my dinner?

That's why I came.

I simply came to say hi
and see if everything was fine.

You came to say hi at 2:30 a.m.?

What a great question.

-Shouldn't you be clocking out?
-That's also a great question.

I'm going to. We were just about to leave.

Wait.

What did you have for dinner?

What am I saying?

-Gimbap.
-I had jjajang ramyeon.

What am I talking about?

What did you have for lunch?

What's wrong with me?

For lunch, I had…

Let's be honest now.

-About what?
-You know you're being very suspicious.

Am I?

You're talking nonsense.
Your face is pale, and you're sweating.

Your hands are trembling,
and your mouth is dry.

Why did you come here?

You see…

I…

Did something…

happen a while ago?

Don't look back.

Look here! Look at me!

What should I do now?

What are you doing?

I like you.

What am I spewing?

I like you.

LIES

You look glum.

When someone tells me
that they like me, I feel happy.

Not you?

No.

I see.

What if…

Just what if…

there's a 0.1% chance that it's her?

-Then what should I do?
-What do you mean?

Your Wi-Fi?

No.

That she's my sister, Gyeyoung.

EPISODE 2

SIMMER ON LOW HEAT FOR TWO MINUTES!

HOW DOES THEIR TELEPATHY WORK?

Hi, son.

Didn't I tell you not to skip your meals?

Nagging me already?

You're making me do it.

What should I do? I love hearing you nag.

I'll get it ready soon, so come and eat.

Look here! I like you.

Are you insane?
Why would you let him take the fridge?

Do you want a loudspeaker?

Trying to let all the neighbors know?

This is driving me crazy.

This is driving me nuts.

Here comes our heroine.

You must've encouraged him
to take it, didn't you?

What could I do? It was his to begin with.

Not anymore if he had thrown it away.

You're making no sense.

It doesn't matter if it does or not.

Have you already forgotten
what's inside that fridge?

Then what? He would've suspected me
had I stopped him.

You should've carried it
on your back and run away!

-Can you carry it on your back?
-Why not?

-You're ridiculous.
-What did you say?

Why did you have to put
that thing in there?

You caused all of this, you know?

I know that. I'm the one to blame. Happy?

You little--

Code zero.
They're at the nearby intersection…

I don't want to hear it.
What's your plan now?

I'll have to get it back.

Exactly how?

I'll have to think about it first.
Leave it up to me.

Grandma, leave it up to me.

What can you do on your own?

It doesn't matter.
I did this, so it's my responsibility.

Don't be ridiculous.
This is no longer about you.

I need to take care of this, not you.
Remember that.

-Grandma.
-Mom?

Mom!

Mom!

-What should we do?
-Let's just go!

-Wait!
-Hurry!

CHURCH OF GOD'S WAY

Charlie Chaplin once said

that life was a comedy
when seen from afar.

He also said

that when seen up-close,

life was a tragedy.

It smells nice.

It feels like yesterday
was just a nightmare.

What will you do now?

We'll get it back at all costs.

When?

Tonight.

What if he opens it before then?

I'll stop him even if it means
I'll have to chop his wrists off.

And if he still opens it?

-I'll make sure he doesn't tell anyone.
-Shouldn't you chop its head?

Yes. I should.

Chop the head off.

My god!

Why were you standing there
without saying anything?

Don't shout at her.

Her mind is troubled enough already.

Why are you staring at me?

Did you…

and Grandma…

go through something similar in the past?

Come on. Why are you still in here?

-What?
-Hurry up.

What is it?

This is a high-tech surveillance camera.

Infrared rays with two million pixels.

It'll cover almost
all the nooks and crannies.

Everything that it records

will be sent
to the control tower in real-time.

-Twenty-four hours a day.
-Real-time…

-It'll be monitored.
-Twenty-four hours…

Any questions?

When will it start recording?

As soon as it gets installed.

They just had to be a day late.

What are you getting at? Tell me.

She means we could've caught
who broke the window.

What?

It wasn't locked.

Thank you.

Gyehoon, they'll replace the glass today.

That's a relief.

Gyehoon, did you see her?

I did.

She couldn't even look at you.

Confessing to you must've made her shy.
She doesn't look the type, though.

Maybe that's why.

Or…

Or?

-Tell me.
-Okay.

Does she look sane to you?

-Hello, they're under construction.
-Hey.

Mom!

No, she doesn't.

I thought so too.

This looks good.

This is pretty fresh.

Sir, did you make this yourself?

Of course, I did.

GOBLIN UNDERWEAR


Bye. I think you could cook this
for five more minutes.

That shop over there--

Nice to meet you.

Same here.

Hello.

I was going to invite you guys
to our restaurant.

Right.

-Us?
-Why…

I wanted to cook for you.

We're pretty much family
since we live so close. Right?

No, I don't think so.

Right. I agree.

Then how about today?

-Let's have a welcoming party.
-Thank you but--

Come if you're thankful.

I have a busy schedule today so--

Come on. Life doesn't always go our way.

Things suddenly come up at times.

Maybe next time--

There's no guarantee there will be
a next time for an old lady like me.

She's right. What time suits you?

-How about 1 o'clock--
-See you at 11:30.

What will you do when they come?

I'll prevent them
from opening that fridge.

They're the ones who stole our fridge.

It wasn't ours to begin with.

They said to keep our enemies closer.

They're not our enemies.
It's the other way around.

Who are you talking about?

-Someone.
-Someone.

Can you debone two of these?

CLOSED FOR LUNCHTIME

We just prepared
what we normally eat. Dig in.

What's your drink of choice? Makgeolli?

-Or soju and beer?
-I'm good. Thank you.

Come on. It's okay.
Let's have a drink together.

Let's just close
our restaurants for the day.

We'll make them drink so much
that they'll pass out

and leave the fridge unattended.

JIMYUNG MAKGEOLLI

Then this?

I see.

What's wrong? This is just…

We don't need to drink.

This is a fail.

All the residents in this neighborhood
treat each other like family.

We step in and look after
each other's business.

We know each other's passcode.

We share keys too.

Are you asking me
to hand over the keys to my restaurant

and tell you the passcode?

-Don't be ridiculous.
-This is a fail too.

They do it all the time online.

Bartering.

-Exchanging items.
-Right, that's the one.

It'd be nice to exchange goods

that you have plenty of
or sell something you don't need.

We have many plates.

We have two fans too. Do you want one?

Right. We need a new fridge too.

I wonder if I can get one secondhand.

So you want me to sell my fridge.

I never said that.

I wasn't directly asking you for a fridge.

This is also a fail.

I heard you're a famous chef.

How's our food?

Yes, evaluate our dishes.

Well…

The meat still smells.

The dried radish greens are limp.

-This is tasteless.
-What? Is it bland?

No, I don't taste anything.

Fried food can't be this soggy.

This mushroom pancake is
almost like coffee.

It's bitter, sweet, sour,

and salty as well.

Fascinating.

Your choice of ingredients,
storing method, and cooking skills

are all just terrible.

Then don't eat--

Everything is a fail today.

Going out to eat?

Me? Yes. Why?

You're going to Choonok Stew, right?
You're a regular.

Why are you tagging along?
I thought you didn't like their dishes.

Come on. I can't always eat what I want.

I also need to speak with them.

You do?

Come on. You better not pee there.

What?

MOTHER'S TASTE
CHOONOK STEW

Are they closed today?

This is sour?

Are you not open?

-Hello.
-Yes, we are. Come in.

Sit here.

-We're done eating.
-No, you're not.

Hello.

Did you get home safe last night?

Me?

-Yes.
-Yes. Of course.

It's a bit late to ask,
but why did you visit us last night?

Do you mind me asking?

She came to us?

You must have a lot of free time.

Why would you worry about her
when she's just fine?

Someone that's fine wouldn't visit
the police in the middle of the night.

That's common sense.

And victims aren't the only ones
who come to the police.

Perpetrators come too.

Then shall we finally have a talk?

I…

I'm sorry, but I have to be somewhere.

There's someone I agreed to meet,
and it's…

Well…

You have business with me.

I was first, so…

Did you hear him? I'm a bit busy.

All right.

By the way, who was that guy?

He looked familiar.

Beats me.

He's apparently a famous chef.
But who knows?

-Really?
-Yes. He's incredible.

He tasted bitter, sweet, sour, and salty

all in this one food.

He sure is incredible. Try some yourself.

Bitter, sweet, sour, salty…

-I think they're out to get her.
-I can't hear you.

-They're out to get her.
-I said I couldn't hear you.

I think the police are after her.

That's not true.

I need to go to the toilet.

Are you okay?

Of course, I am.

You don't even know what I'm asking about,
so how could you say that?

That's because

I'm really fine about everything.

Excuse me.

Mom!

What's wrong with me?

You're not okay.

Sorry?

What happened…

last night?

I said nothing happened.

Who did this to you?

-Answer me.
-Why do you care?

Because I do! So who did this?

Let me take a look.

-Does it hurt?
-My arm is okay.

You're in a lot of pain
for this to just be a bruise.

Let's take a CT scan
and see if you have any fractures.

JOINT CENTER

I'm only saying this
in case you're worried.

I only have a mild fracture,
and it'll heal in a month or two.

So don't worry.

That means it'll take eight weeks to heal.

That's a serious injury.
You shouldn't take it lightly.

I won't ask who he is.
Just end it with him.

If it's your boyfriend, break up.

If it's a family member,

move out.

Who in the world is he?

Didn't you say you wouldn't ask?

Report him.

There's nothing to report.

Someone once said
people lie three times a day.

Another psychologist claimed

people lie 200 times a day.

I'm guessing that's including
the lies you tell yourself.

That many?

The average number doesn't matter.

One thing for sure is that
you're well above the average.

Everything you say is a lie.

I don't lie all the time.

And even if I did,
I must have a good reason for it.

But if that reason hurts you like this…

don't just take it.

Ask someone for help.

You can even ask me.

How long have you lived in Jihwa-dong?

Since I was little.

-Exactly how little?
-Are you interrogating me?

I'm just curious.

I don't remember.

Why can't you remember?
What's your earliest memory?

Why are you asking these questions?

You said you liked me.

Shouldn't you be happy
that I'm interested in you?

Yes, I am happy.

I'm getting butterflies.

All you do is lie.

Let me ask you something.

If you were attacked

by someone like I was,

what would you do?

Let's say it was someone close to me.

If this happened to my younger sister,

that attacker

would've died by my hands.

I've been having
the same nightmare ever since that day.

The weather is lovely.

It became harder and harder
to retrieve the fridge.

But thankfully

and strangely enough,

they haven't opened the fridge yet.

Hello?

Delivery?

You see, I moved.

Yes.

Okay, I'll go pick it up.

Thank you.

She came back again.

Yesterday, and the day before too.

Why did you join the police?

To make ends meet.

Did you come here
because you knew I was here?

I would've never become a police officer
had I known I'd come here.

You're good at offending others.

Wait. I hope you don't get the wrong idea.

I wasn't trying to offend you.

I don't regret our past

or dislike seeing you again--

Forget it. Just stop talking.

Okay.

I'm your superior.

Answer me if you understand.

Yes, ma'am.

What is that? Whatever.

Oh, come on.

-No, thanks.
-I'm hungry.

-What do you want to eat?
-Pasta.

I knew it. I bought some already.

-Really?
-Yes.

No way.

Look.

Back then--

Geumdo Villa, Mangwon-dong.

People have reported
a foul smell from there.

Tell him we'll go.
We're probably the closest.

Which unit is available?

This is patrol 11. We'll go.

Are you the one who sent them?

You didn't like them?

I was really curious

why you kept throwing them away.

-I can't believe this.
-Me neither.

There's been a m*rder.

-Goodness.
-Unbelievable.

By the way, where do you live?

Do we live in the same neighborhood?

That one.

I live on the third floor.
The one with the white curtains.

I see.

GEUMDO VILLA

They're coming out!

Excuse me.

Where are you going?

MOTHER'S TASTE
CHOONOK STEW

Is Ms. Noh here?

Dahyun?

Dating abuse, domestic abuse,

stalking, and revenge porn.

The number of abuse cases against women

has been increasing every year.

A man in his thirties, who had fled

after murdering a restaurant owner,
was apprehended yesterday.

The police found out that the perpetrator

had stalked his victim since last July.

At the time, the perpetrator was given

a restraining order to stay
at least 100 m away from her.

He was also banned
from contacting the victim

and was warned about stalking her.

About 30% of m*rder cases

and 20% of sexual assaults against women

are reported to have started off
with stalking.

The women could file
for a restraining order.

But would a 100m restraining order

truly keep them safe?

It'll only take 20 seconds
for the perpetrator to reach them.

And the perpetrator will only be fined
for breaking the restraining order.

Dahyun?

She could be at the coffee shop
near the main road.

She goes there once in a while.

What am I doing?

Ms. Noh.

-Are you okay?
-Sorry?

I mean…

It was a simple greeting.

I was wondering how you were doing.

Yes, I'm fine.

Because I survived.

I was…

a survivor.

I came out alive.

I'll take care of the rest.
You should go wash up.

Make me some coffee.

What is this…

Hey.

-What is this smell?
-It's the smell of a rotting body.

Can you please take a shower, Minjo?

Jeez. How could a woman--

Go.

-Take those out of your nostrils!
-Come on.

Officer Ji, how was it?
It was your first time seeing a body.

I almost died, sir.

Good work.

It seems to have been quite a while
since it rotted. Stay outside.

I'm okay, ma'am.

Seeing a decaying body is tough.
It's your first time.

I'm really fine.

Is this instant coffee?

Enjoy.

Here you go.

Thanks.

Here you go.

Look at this. I haven't been served coffee
in a very long time.

Nowadays, my subordinates
don't make me any coffee.

They're so heartless and indifferent
toward those older than them.

I bet Confucius and Mencius
are turning in their graves.

But they're Chinese, and we're Korean.

Thanks, my dear rookie.

Be careful, sir.

What if I put poison in there?

That was a blood-chilling joke.

Anyway, thank you.

Mom.

Mom?

Grandma.

Where are they?

BANKBOOK

To Noh Dahyun, my beloved daughter.

I've never written you a letter before.

So I'm sorry that this first letter
has to be like this.

But I hope you won't be sad.

I'm…

going to turn myself in.

I was the one who k*lled
that scumbag in the fridge.

I put him in there single-handedly.

So I am solely responsible.

Don't worry about me
and live a good life with Grandma.

I do have one favor.

I hope

you will live a better life

-than I have.
-Are you serious?

I'd also like to make this clear.

Don't be sorry.

Don't forget

that one worry for you
means a thousand more for me.

I LOVE YOU, MOM
THANK YOU FOR RAISING ME

Done.

Thank you for raising me.

I love you, Grandma.

My baby.

I love you so much.

What's wrong? You can fold this.

Who folds their school uniform?

I can't believe
she'll be in middle school.

Let's take another one. One, two, three.

It's my first time wearing this. My baby.

Thank you so much

for being my daughter.

I hope you know that.

I will always love and adore you.

Love, Mom.

Hong Bokhee.

SAFE JIHWA, RELIABLE POLICE

How may I help you?

You k*lled whom?

Whom did you k*ll, ma'am?

Mom?

Goodness.

Why are you here?

Have you gone insane?

Why are you here?

This has nothing to do with you. Go home.

Mom.

Didn't you hear me?

Please calm down, both of you.
Please continue what you were saying.

You said you k*lled someone.

Yes, I did.

I k*lled that man.

So exactly who are you talking about?

Sorry? He's…

He's…

So… I…

My father.

She…

k*lled my father.

The sound of his beating her
is still so vivid.

You can't relate, can you?

Even after all these years,
I still can't forget it.

I'll remember it until the day I die.

It's so vivid.

She's been dreaming

of k*lling him every night.

And in the morning,

she'd say

that she had k*lled him.

But he died ages ago.

She still dreamed of getting beaten.

She wanted to survive.

I know you're out of it,
but this isn't right, Mom!

You're just dreaming!

Please don't do this. Mom.

Don't do this!

Is it Alzheimer's?

Mom.

Grandma.

Dahyun.

Dahyun.

Are you insane?

Why would you turn yourself in?

Then what about you?

You were going to do the same.
Why did you do that?

Were you really going to?

What choice did I have?

They were bound to find out.
I had to save her.

She still has so much to look forward to.

So I should be the one.

That's why I went.

Not you, Mom!

I won't be able to live if you go!

Bokhee.

Neither of you is going.

No. None of us are going.

I won't allow it.

I did nothing wrong.

Grandma… I'm the victim here.

I thought long and hard.

Even if I went back in time, I would…

No!

Mom!

I'll strive to survive.

And if my only choice is by k*lling him,

I will do it again.

So let's not give up.

Okay? Let's find a way to stay together.

Okay. Let's do that.

It's okay.

-It's okay.
-Of course, it's okay.

-It's okay.
-I'm okay too.

I'm okay.

It's okay.

All right, then.

What do we do now?

If push comes to shove, we'll have to…

k*ll him.

You guys can't take a joke, can you?

Jeez, Mom.

Seriously, Grandma.

You're still so strong.

I'll look for a way.

I'll try to find out the passcode
or whatever to get the refrigerator back.

At all costs.

We're not open yet.

It's me.

What are you doing here so early?

What was that yesterday?

What do you mean?
It's exactly what I said.

Don't you know me? You can't fool me.

Come on. I'm not fooling anyone.

We'll open in a bit.

I'm also suspicious of that young chef.

He rented the restaurant downstairs
and even the floor above far in advance.

-The one above too?
-Yes.

But he left it vacant for a while.

He only moved in
three months into the contract.

What about the rent? Did he pay on time?

Yes.

He must be loaded.

MIJIN REAL ESTATE

-Goodness! Let me help.
-What?

-Let me help a neighbor out.
-It's okay.

-This is heavy.
-I'm surprisingly strong.

It runs in the family. Let me.

But you have a fracture. Give that back.

-Let me.
-I'm really okay.

-Give them to me.
-Don't worry and just come.

-But you're worrying me.
-No, I'm perfectly fine.

Do you want to exchange numbers?

We can do that as neighbors, right?

Does this restaurant have a number?

What is it? And your birthdays?

Mine is--

Don't tell her.

-Why not?
-Why not?

She's being suspicious.
Who knows what her motives are?

That's rich coming from you
who asked me where I used to live.

I'll tell you if you play
rock-paper-scissors with me.

What?

All right, fine.
You better keep your word.

Okay.

Rock-paper-scissors.

Rock-paper-scissors.

Rock-paper-scissors.

Rock-paper-scissors.

They look like fools.

Rock-paper-scissors.

Rock-paper-scissors.

It wasn't fun or fascinating.

It was just childish.

Our so-called superpower
had only turned us into a laughingstock.

Rock-paper-scissors.

sh**t. sh**t.

This can't prove anything.

But still…

No.

But now I know that I'm linked…

to you.

That's enough.

Yes. Please stop.

That was unbelievable.

We're both so competitive.
Neither of us lost.

The emotions I've been feeling all along

belonged to you.

So what's your number? Birthday?

It's you, the famous chef.

Right. We met at Choonok Stew.

You have a good memory.

Goodbye, then.

The weather is lovely.

Right.

Why did you come back?

Why did you come back
to this neighborhood?

It's one of you!

One of you is the culprit!

They're in this neighborhood.

It's the truth.

Because rent was cheap.

That's why.

Is that so?

The rent…

is cheap indeed.

"Everyone lies."

Why are you eating in the dark?

How dare you come here?

Get out.

Get out this instant!

It's your fault.

It was you! You k*lled Gyeyoung.

You're the k*ller.

You should've died instead.

My poor Gyeyoung.

What will you do about her?

Mom… Dad…

My poor Gyeyoung.

Bring her back!

Not you.

My daughter.

Bring my baby back.

Bring back my dear Gyeyoung.

Bring her back! Bring my baby back!

I'm okay.

"I'm okay."

THEY LIE AND SAY, "I'M OKAY."

"The most often said lie is,

'I'm okay.'"

-Are you okay?
-Of course, I am.

You don't even know what I'm asking about,
so how could you say that?

That's because…

I'm really fine about everything.

Yes, I'm fine.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Gyehoon, are you okay?

Yes.

I'm okay.

Let's try one at a time.

First, his birthday.

My birthday is…

Gosh, that was easy.

Did you find what you were looking for?

All right.

What lie…

The body disappeared?

Either that guy moved it

or someone else did.

Or that body walked out alive.

Have you seen him before?

-Who is he?
-He's my younger brother.

I suddenly lost touch with him.

Why is she always anxious?

It's annoying.

You always manage to find me
when I'm feeling this way.

As if you know something.

Is that Wi-Fi girl from the stew place

really your long-lost sister?

Even if I mistake you for my sister

and treat you well,

don't be happy.

Never.
