Huh? [Missing per

son - Seo Ki Won, male, 35 years old] [6th generation - Seo Ki Won went missing at the age 35] I became the seventh photographer after my uncle. I'll take the last photo. One, two, three.

[7th generation - Seo Ki Joo, 104 days until the 35th birthday] That was the biggest curse in my life that's been filled with misfortunes. What

's... with you? What is this place? Hold on. You said you're an attorney, right? Go ahead and prove your skills. My visitor doesn't have a lot of time. The police station. How did you come in here- By chance, are you dead? You're the psycho from the elevator, right? By the way, why are you saying I'm dead? I'm perfectly fine. Everyone says that at first. How long has it been? Or do you not remember? Oh, did you just move? I'm Han Bom. Why is a dead person's hand warm? There's no way. Are you...

alive? Pardon? She has a shadow, too. By chance... No way. How could a living person come in here? - Get out. - I asked you what this place is. Don't touch me. I'll report you. So, how did you come in here? I just opened the door and came in. By the way, what's that place back there? Petals were flying around in there. Please leave. We're closed. Hold on, it's not that. Your phone. Could I borrow your phone? I needed to make an urgent call, but I ran out of battery. Please. [No Contacts] What's

with this guy? Why doesn't he have any contacts on his phone? Is he a foreigner? The call is not going through. You'll be connected to the voicemail after the beep and there will be an additional charge. She must be asleep. I suppose it's kind of late. Thank you. Oh, I'm not a weirdo. Don't get the wrong idea. I live in the rooftop unit upstairs. Some jerk moved in without my permission. It might've been on the market, but someone is obviously living there. How could they be so shameless and bra

zen? They put my stuff outside without my permission. I'd like to see the face of this moron. You're looking at him right now. - Pardon? - I'm that moron. And I'm not the one who took out your stuff. Your landlord did it. Please leave. I think there's a misunderstanding. - It's strange. - Talk to the landlord. Hold on. Excuse me, open this and talk to me. Please? Excuse me. Open the door, please? Sir? Sir! Hey! [The Second Shot: Even Though Your Life is Filled With Misfortunes] 12,840. 12,841. 1

2,842. 12,843. 12,844. 12,84- I can't sleep. I can't sleep because I'm curious. What's the deal with that woman, anyway? Sir, are you in there? Sir. Mr. Photographer. Hello, I'm happy to see you, too. We were a bit startled yesterday, weren't we? So I'd like to discuss the situation calmly. You're free, right? By the way, how did you come in yesterday? The gate of the dead? The gate of the living? Which is it? I just opened the door. You can't just enter that place like that. Here's a housewarmi

ng gift. What's this? It says right there. It says I'll sue you for trespassing. [Notice of Lawsuit] You'll sue me? According to the Criminal Code, Article 319, "If you enter an occupied property, you can serve up to three years in prison or pay a fine of up to five million won." Let me explain what that means. You might've signed a contract with the landlord, but you touched my belongings without permission. I'm saying you're in big trouble. Gosh, this got dusty. You've never seen this before?

I'm a legal professional. Yes, it's my first time seeing it. Someone as shameless as you. Anyway, if you give me my place back, I'll reimburse the moving fee. Hey, do you have money? Grandma, where have you been? You got kicked out because you couldn't pay the rent. Quit bluffing. I know you're mad at me, but you can't do this. Tell him to move out now. My grandmother made a mistake, so- Yes, it was a mistake to rent you the apartment. Sometimes things work out, and sometimes they don't. How can

you do this between us? How come things haven't been working out for three years? There's no need to go on. I'll remove you from the family registry today. You and I are strangers from now on. Don't be like that, okay? Yes, why don't we talk calmly inside, then? Do as you'd like. You either move out or call the police. Grandma. Grandma! - The thing is- - You heard her, right? Please leave. Caffeine and alcohol are giving me life. Not two or three. She only has one granddaughter. How could she k

ick me out on the streets? There's no way I'm related to her. I know you're her granddaughter but haven't paid rent in three months. That was very shameless of you. Hey, how can an unemployed person pay rent? - Whose side are you on? - I'm on your side. That's why I'm being your drinking buddy at this hour. By the way, why does the Eiffel Tower have to be so pretty? You must be happy traveling around the world. I spent all the security deposit and severance pay. I'll be penniless once I go back.

I'm penniless already without having to travel. When you told me you'd be traveling around the world, I should've followed you instead of calling you crazy. I have no home or a job, anyway. - Hey, Ms. Han Bom. - Yeah? Will you let that bastard take your home while complaining? Never. Gosh. Mr. Seo, what's the matter? How could a living person enter through the gate of the dead? I've never seen such a thing in my three years as a ghost. Three years? I've never seen one for 20 years I've been run

ning the photo studio. Does it mean she entered through the gate of the living? Only you can open the gate of the living. Only the visitors can open the gate of the dead. She's neither of those things and is alive. How was she supposed to enter the studio? Geez! You think I don't know that? Maybe you hallucinated since you've been in poor health. She was definitely alone in the hallway. By chance, did you leave it open and forget? I think you haven't recovered fully after the virgin ghost incide

nt. Here? There doesn't seem to be a wound here. What? Geez, you can't do this now. Geez, seriously. What? Mr. Seo! I'll kill you if there's nothing here. I-I think there's a ghost here. - Hey, Deputy Go. - Yes? What do you think you are? I'm talking about an evil spirit. I'm a nice ghost. This is the photo studio. How could an evil spirit enter? You... What are you? I feel an evil energy somewhere. I'm Kang Rim. Hey, kid! What's this now? Are you out of your mind? Don't move. I, Kang Rim, am he

re to destroy you. Yap! Stop right there! Wait, Deputy Go! Whether it's Deputy Go or Deputy Ma... W-What... Hello. Mr. Seo! Wait, Deputy Go! Come here! Deputy Go! Mr. Seo... Mr. Seo! Mr. Seo! Stop moving! Faceless ghosts, bachelor ghosts, and virgin ghosts. There are a lot of notorious ghosts, but the scariest one is... the child ghost. They're the scariest. You clean up the mess. You clean up the mess again. Is this what they mean by "Childrearing hell"? It's okay. I endured two months. Three d

ays aren't so bad. Who did you have for two months? You won't know. She was a very annoying first visitor. Seo Ki Joo! Seo Ki Joo! Come out! Seo Ki Joo! Hey, put that down. Put it down. Hey! - Huh? Don't do it. - Don't do it. - Don't do it. - D-Don't do it. - Don't do it. - Seriously, don't do it. - Okay, go ahead. - Do it. Do it. - Do it. Do it. - You can't, can you? That's mine! I looked up the accident records in the neighborhood. There was a car accident at the intersection a month ago. A se

ven-year-old boy died. The suspect was drunk driving. They couldn't settle since the boy was from an orphanage. You're in trouble, okay? Mr. Seo, catch him! Hey, kid. I'm not a kid. I'm Im Yoon Hae. Yes, Im Yoon Hae. Do you remember anything? Do you have any regrets or a family you miss? There's no time. The gate of the dead you entered closes in three days. The gate of the dead? Oh, I thought of something. What is it? [Limited edition - Biryong Exorcising Sword] Do they make limited-edition toy

s these days? - Yes, let's go. - Seriously. Here we go. Can't you open the door for me? I told you not to run. You'll end up falling. [Sold out] I need the Biryong Exorcising Sword. Hey, all swords are the same. Hey, how about this? How's this one? This looks super sharp. Look. This is a really good one. No. It's not. It hurts. [Sold out] My gosh, they sold out already. Hey. Hey, do something. W-What can we do? Biryong Exorcising Sword. There were about three left. Here... Gosh. [Biryong Exorcis

ing Sword - Sold out] They sold out already. Gosh, what do we do? They sell out as soon as they arrive these days. - Over here! - Tyrannosaurus. Are there any left? [Biryong Exorcising Sword - Sold out] Y-Yoon Hae, look at this. How's this one? This is so cool. Should we just get this one? - Wow, it's so cool. - This isn't a Biryong Exorcising Sword. Mr. Seo, this is the seventh store. We don't have anywhere else to go. Whether he wanders this world or not, should I just kick him out? No, I mean

t childrearing. I meant that childrearing is hard once I experienced it. We all feel the same way. Heartless man. - Let's go somewhere else. - What now? Hurry. Gosh, seriously. I'm not so good at controlling my strength. Geez, seriously. I might as well... work overtime rather than babysitting. Excuse me, could you give me your number, if you don't mind? Are you asking for my phone number right now? Yes, your number. Well, I'm so sorry. I haven't gotten over my first love yet. What? Thank you. S

hould I have given her Mr. Seo's number? No, he would yell at me. [25. Find my one-and-only] I can't seem to recall her name. My one-and-only. Where are you? ♫ A mild breeze ♫ ♫ Your warm eyes ♫ ♫ Your touch is like a constellation ♫ ♫ Your sweet voice ♫ ♫ The deeply tinted sky ♫ I'm sorry I couldn't keep the promise again today. It's okay. ♫ Bye-bye, my lonely days. Hold my hand. ♫ [My one-and-only] ♫ Secretly. Without anyone knowing. ♫ Please. Hold on a second! ♫ Times. ♫ Hold on. ♫ Times. Wit

h me. ♫ ♫ On the boat that's called love ♫ ♫ Let's dream together ♫ ♫ Without anyone knowing ♫ Knowing that... we've been living in Seoul together makes me feel hopeful. What's this? You came. What's this hideous thing, anyway? Oh, this? I bought this from Cucumber Market to go to Han River with my boyfriend last year. But he broke up with me first. I thought I'd never use it, but I'm glad I bought it. I'm not really interested in that. Hey, you were in there? Come out right now. Come on. You ca

n't hide even if you try. What? Do you two know each other? Of course, we do. Wait, do you see him? Did you know you ask the strangest questions? - Is it a boy or a girl? - Does he look like a girl to you? [Im Yoon Hae] Mr. Clingy, do you know him? No, I don't. I've never seen him before. Hey, how many hamburgers and toys did I buy you this morning? I'm really hurt right now. Come on out. You can't be in there. Come on out. Come here. Hurry... Hey, where are you going, Mr. Clingy? Why did you pr

ovoke a well-behaved boy? Hey, wait for me! Hey, where are you going? Wait for me. Geez, he's fast. Hey. Hey! Stop right there! Hey! What? She definitely sees him. She definitely saw the visitor. I knew I didn't leave the door open. She was suspicious in the elevator, too. I've never met anyone like this. Maybe she came to take over after you. But the camera has been handed down only within the Seo family. There's no one to inherit it after you die. Mr. Seo! Geez, you scared me. You scared me. C

an't you use the door? I... finally found her. - Found who? - The long lost... first love of mine. You mean your internet girlfriend? I think I'll get very busy soon. Since I'll be going on dates. By the way, does she know, too? That you're stalking her? What do you mean, stalking? It's stalking. She can't see you following her around anyway. Oh, since we're on the topic, can I borrow your body if I get to see her again- Don't even think about it. I'm having a hard time because of a strange woma

n already. It would've been perfect. Welcome. How big is your party? I'm alone. The smallest portion we have is two servings. It's a party of two. Two servings of the squid stir-fry, please. That's the best thing on the menu here. Okay. What are you, exactly? How come you see that little boy? And how did you open the door to the studio? Are you bringing that up again? I saw what I saw and... I opened the door because I could. It's totally normal. Is it normal for you, too? I have a question myse

lf. What are you, exactly? You just moved in but how do you know the boy, and why did you visit Ms. Jang? I thought you ran a photo studio. Why would a photographer meet with a suspect in a crime? And why did Jang Bo Ra come clean about everything after she met you? Well... Am I being interrogated right now? Anyway, whatever you are, stop bothering the boy. He had a hard time because of the accident a month ago. He needs to leave in three days. Don't try to change his mind. You know he needs to

leave in three days, too? How did you know about that? - Enjoy. - Thank you. Anyway, that's all the advice I have for you. Let's eat now. It's not like we're having a memorial service. Well... you don't get to pay less for eating less. Eat at least half. One serving each. Let's hurry up and eat. It's warm. Memorial service food is cold. Memorial service food is for ghosts. We're supposed to eat human food. Everyone knows that. It's so good. What? You act like you have never eaten before. Try thi

s, too. You can call me whenever you want to eat. I'll complete the party of two for you. Was it Mr. Seo Ki Joo, by the way? Mr. Seo, you know the rooftop unit- I love it very much. So much so that I don't ever want to move. ♫ I'm dreaming again ♫ I enjoyed the meal. And... thank you, No. 2. ♫ I want to leave somewhere secretly ♫ Wait, excuse me. Hold on. ♫ You make my heart flutter ♫ Why are you following me? I'm not following you. I'm going to my grandma's place. Here. It's a coupon for that r

estaurant. You get a meal for free if you collect ten stamps. You know, right? You can't use this alone. I'm entitled to the half of it. - Here. - You can use it by yourself. I'll never complete it. It goes fast once you start eating there. That's how good they are. There's someone who sees ghosts. She sees the same things I see? Mr. Seo! What? What's going on? I finally found the sword. [Fireworks Festival] Where are you? We'll only buy the sword and leave. Don't get distracted, okay? Yes, sir.

Kiddo, behave yourself. I'll be right back. Tell them to pay for our ride, at least. Wow, fireworks that size must cost a lot. - I think it's my first time seeing fireworks. - How fancy. Where did he go? - What do you mean? - Yoon Hae. He was here just now. He couldn't have gone far. Let's look for him. - Shit. - Yoon Hae. - Yoon Hae. Y-Yoon Hae. - Yoon Hae! - Y-Yoon Hae. - Yoon Hae! Y-Yoon Hae. - Yoon Hae! - Yoon Hae... Yoon Hae. [Madam So's Snacks] Enjoy. Grandma, I'll have a tteokbokki. Who'

s there? I don't know who you are. What? Is it sold out? [Ttoekbokki is sold out] Gosh, I was craving ttoekbokki today. You said it's sold out. Did you set this aside for me, by chance? I set it aside for myself. What's that? Is it a credit book, by chance? Grandma, will you charge your granddaughter, too? Gosh, I know. I don't know who you are. My family registry is empty. Grandma, are you still angry? Huh? Since I'm not working, why don't we go to Jeju to see flowers? I know you love flowers.

Come to think of it, we didn't get to see cherry blossoms this year again. - Should we go see cherry blossoms? - It's summer right now. They were gone a long time ago. Well, we can go next year, then. Spring always comes back. Just like me. Aigoo. Unemployed person shouldn't be talking about flowers. Are you proud of being unemployed? Cut the nonsense and go get a job already. Okay. Grandma, I'll have a tteokbokki, too. Here. Let's share it. Do you like it? What kind of toy sword is this expensi

ve? [Im Yoon Hae] Hey, kiddo. I told you to behave yourself, didn't I? It's the scary ahjussi. I told you to stay with us, didn't I? What are you doing right now? He needs to be scolded. What are you talking about? Let go. - Let go right now. - Mr. Seo. Yoon Hae is here. Let go. Yoon Hae has a scar on the back of his neck. Who's this kid in front of me? Were they twins? Ahjussi, why are you bothering my brother? Why are you bothering him? - Hey. - There are two Yoon Haes. Why are you bothering h

im? Do you really not see him? What are you talking about now? I think we're really meant to be. Did you want to give this sword to your brother? Tomorrow is Yoon Dal's birthday. I wanted to get it for him. You should've told me so, then. I didn't know, and I told that woman- Pardon? What do you mean? Forget it. Whatever. This boy came back desperately to see his brother, not the toy. I'm so proud of you. Are you happy about something? Pardon? Well, I think I need new clothes. I might go on a da

te. Do you have any travel money left? It's so tasty. You can't use this alone. I'm entitled to the half of it. Here. Why are you bothering him? Do you really not see him? What are you talking about now? What were you hoping for, Seo Ki Joo? Tell me. What do you need? The sword. You want me to burn it? Yoon Dal, did you pack your things? You need to go to bed early to leave tomorrow. Ma'am. Can I bring this to the US, too? [Im Yoon Hae] Yes, go ahead. Double-check your locker to see if you forgo

t anything. Okay. Yoon Dal wanted that sword for his birthday. Hyung. Hyung. Hyung. Public urination. Refused to pay the taxi fare. [Attorney Appointment Notice] Provoked someone on the street, bar fights, and revenge driving. Everyone needs the law so badly. But no one needs me. Hey. Do you really not see him? I feel guilty for not seeing things. Why do I feel so uneasy? What's this about? Hello, ma'am. We received a report regarding squatting. Is this where you currently live? - Yes. - Let me

check your identification. Hand me your ID. Officers, you must be so busy. There's something I need to tell you. This is my grandma's... So she's the landlord- The one who filed the report is a renter here. You need to evacuate. Just one moment. Sir, we got along very well. We had a meal together, too. Please evacuate. Otherwise, I'll file a lawsuit. Hey, hey, how could you do this to me? Hold on. Excuse me. Well, sir. Please forgive me... Forgive me just once. Open the door for a moment. Let's

talk about this, please? Hey! Shit. Seriously, why... What? Gosh, you should've done it sooner. Shit. Can't you walk straight? I'm sorry. I've never been in a woman's body. You're okay, right? Please. You're making me walk funny, too. You want to sponsor Yoon Dal? We don't have a baby yet. By the way, I heard Yoon Dal had a twin brother. You heard. Both of them were found together in front of the orphanage. It was so sweet how they were holding hands when they couldn't even talk. Yoon Hae cared

a lot for his brother. He went out to get a birthday present for Yoon Dal that day, too... My goodness. It... It breaks my heart so much. Oh, my. Sounds like you're from the North. But I'm sorry to tell you this. Yoon Dal is getting adopted by a family in the US today. Hey, I mean... Honey. Ma'am. We need to leave now. It's about to come out. - Are you okay? - She's like this often. Honey. - Hurry! - Shit! Thank you, ma'am! Hey, hey! You were shopping at the grocery store. Pardon? Gosh, I must b

e senile! Gosh, that was a close one. Hey, how come you can only possess someone just for 10 minutes? I've been improving. Yes. You're doing great. Thank you. Hey, this is fun. It's so fun. You can't go there! It was difficult to get that sword. Why are you sitting like this? You should be having fun with it. Who would I have a sword fight with? Visitor, we need to take photos. There's no time left. You know Yoon Dal was adopted, right? Won't you say goodbye for the last time? I don't want to sa

y goodbye. It's over once you say goodbye. I won't be able to see him again. I hate goodbyes. Kiddo. Unfortunately, the dead need to go somewhere. Why? Why am I the only one who's leaving? How about the bad man who did this to me? Why am I the only one leaving? If I leave, Yoon Dal will be left alone. Hey, hey, don't cry. Gosh, seriously... I was left alone as a kid, too. I've never told anyone this. I was really scared then. But I also had... well... What's the sword called again? Biryong Exorc

ising Sword. I had something like that, too. It was like Superman, who always protected me. It's okay. It's okay. Uncle! So I wasn't afraid at all. Even if you leave, Yoon Dal will end up with someone like Superman, too. So it's okay. Yoon Dal... He'll be okay. You'll say goodbye to him... like a cool older brother, right? [Dori Toys] Wow, Hyung. It's Biryong Exorcising Sword. I want that. I want it. Hurry, Hyung. [Dori Toys] Hyung. I don't want to go to the US. Hyung. I miss you. Can I help you

meet him? Hey, kiddo, wait... Don't come near me. I'll scream if you come closer. Okay, I won't come. I won't. So could you listen to me? Yoon Hae is next to me right now. He wants to see you. Don't lie. Even seven-year-olds don't believe in stuff like that these days. Hey, your little brother is way smarter than you. Show me the evidence. - Evidence? - Kang Rim of the Haunted House. The Haunted House stuff? Hurry up and repeat after me. Fire of devotion! Hey, kiddo. I have social status and di

gnity. Do you think I'd do anything you tell me to? Fire of devotion. Fire of devotion! Pierce the enemy with the burning flame. Fire of devotion. Pierce the enemy with the burning flame! - Kang Rim... - Seals the evil energy! Kang Rim seals the evil energy! Was expelling ghosts always this embarrassing? You need to have a birthday party, kiddo. ♫ I've nothing to lose ♫ ♫ Every day was the same ♫ - Happy birthday. - Happy birthday. - Congrats. Congrats! - Congrats. Congrats! Hyung! Hyung! I don'

t need stuff like this. I don't want this anymore. If only I didn't ask you for the toy... I'm sorry, Hyung. I'm actually not dead. I'm executing my mission according to Kang Rim's order. You're lying. I'm serious. Have you ever seen me lying? When are you coming back, then? After I finish my mission. You'll wait for me until then, right? Swear on Kang Rim's name. I swear on Kang Rim's name. Come back soon, okay? Geez... How dare he report me at my house? Why does he want a photo studio on top o

f the hill? He never gets customers, but why is the light on? How strange. Are they open or not? I'm sure I was mistaken then. There can't be a space like that behind the boiler room. By the way, this is strange. He just moved, but he's showing interest in Yoon Dal's orphanage. Is he committing some kind of new crime? Shit. [Director] Hello, Director. I haven't volunteered there in a while. I'm sorry. Attorney Han, is Yoon Dal there, by chance? - Pardon? - Someone saw him following some man earl

ier today. Yes, I'll look for him, too. Mr. Baek put his blood and sweat into this special cake. Make a wish now. Please make Hyung come back quickly. Amen... Please make sure Yoon Dal doesn't feel afraid. Okay. One, two, three. Happy birthday! It's your birthday, too, kiddo. Ahjussi. Goodbye, kiddo. Hyung, come back soon. Hyung! Hyung! Hyung! Hyung... Don't go. Hyung! Oh, my gosh! Thank God! Lee Yoon Dal, we were worried about you. I met Yoon Hae just now. The Hyung at the photo studio let me s

ee him. - What? - Look at this. I had a birthday party with Yoon Hae. He gave me the Biryong Exorcising Sword, too. This bastard was an awful man. The people who come here ask me. "Why? For what reason... Where's the camera? only my life is filled with misfortunes?" Where's the camera? Give me the camera! Give me! Even though life is... filled with misfortunes... don't be discouraged. ♫ Never reaching what I want out of life ♫ ♫ They keep watching me without something in mind ♫ ♫ You're hilariou
