ORIGINAL STORY BY JU Ho-min

When a person reaches

the Afterlife,

they are judged 7 times

over the course of 49 days.

Tried by deceit, indolence, injustice

betrayal, violence, murder, and filial impiety,

only the souls who pass

all trials are reincarnated.

(- Buddhist Scripture)

Kim!

Take my hand!

Give me the kid!

Grab my hand!

Come on!

Reach out your hand!

Hurry!

The rope!

It's on fire!

Take my hand!

No!

Ja-Hong! No!

We made it,

we're alive!

It's okay, sweetie.

Mom!

Mom!

Hey! Get over here!

That was close!

That could've ended badly!

Little lady,

what's your name?

Kim Ja-Hong!

That's my name, cutie.

How did you know my name?

What's yours?

Your name...

Kim Ja-Hong!

Kim Ja-Hong!

You there!

Get out of there!

It's dangerous!

Get a stretcher!

Hurry the hell up!

Ja-Hong!

Mr. Kim Ja-Hong!

Wow!

How the hell did you think

to jump from there?

You fell from such height,

and honorably saved a girl...

A paragon!

The last honorable death

was 422 years ago.

I am honored,

Mr. Kim Ja-Hong!

The last one was

Nongae in 1592.

He's a paragon?

You passed away on

April 28, 2017 as scheduled.

We are the 3 guardians

of the Afterlife

who will defend you

through 7 trials over 49 days.

I'm a security specialist,

Deputy Guardian Hewonmak.

I am Assistant Guardian

Deok-choon.

It's good to meet you!

It's an honor, sir!

We said 3 guardians,

so why are there only 2?

It's an obvious question.

The last guardian is...

at your funeral home.

It's protocol,

but I think he went for food.

He's a strange one,

don't you think?

Mr. Kim?

What's up?

Everything's fine,

you're a death virgin.

That's why it's confusing

and awkward.

No...

I can't die just yet.

My mother...

I can't leave my mother!

Afterlife Law, Article 3.1!

One cannot wander the living world,

and there's no time for farewells!

If you plead the Fifth,

you'll be at a disadvantage...

He's following the protocol

like a real paragon.

Good, keep going!

Up! Up!

Let me see my mother

one last time, please!

I have something to tell her!

Love for his mother...

Please, I'm begging you!

One last time!

Please!

This is bad even for me.

Casketing for Kim Ja-Hong

will begin shortly.

Once again, casketing for

Kim Ja-Hong will begin shortly.

Mom.

Mom?

Snap out of it, Mom.

He's ready, let's go.

Mom, we should go!

(GATE OF THE AFTERLIFE)

Salute!

That's King Yeomra.

The judge of the Hell of Filial Impiety,

and the king of kings.

And he's Guardian Gang-lim.

The leader and our boss.

He's reincarnated 47 souls

in the past century.

- Paragon Kim, it's nice to meet you.

- Make way for the paragon!

I'm not a paragon.

Over here!

Here! Here!

Let him through.

Make way.

- Mr. Kim, please hurry!

- Make way.

(KIM JA-HONG)

Incredible! He's the one!

Mr. Kim, you really are

an honorable paragon!

It's been 19 years!

Your chance for reincarnation

after 49 days is very high!

An honorable soul!

Paragon Kim Ja-Hong!

(VOLCANO OF THE DAMNED)

Why the hell is

the Hell of Murder our first stop?

The Hell of Murder! The Volcano!

You said he was a paragon.

Did you really kill someone?

What?

I didn't kill anyone.

There are a total

of 7 trials:

betrayal, violence, filial impiety,

murder, indolence, deceit, injustice.

The order of the trials is determined

by King Yeomra himself,

who judges your sins

from lightest to heaviest.

Other than Yeomra,

no one knows the order

of your trials.

Murder? I've never

harmed anyone.

This trial will also

look at indirect murders.

If your past actions

influenced someone's death,

that is enough cause

to be charged.

So don't post mean

comments online hastily!

It's all recorded!

No need to worry,

guess what she's doing.

Our baby has a special power.

She's scanning

a list of all your charges

in order to defend you better.

It may seem like a skill

but it's like karma.

It must be taxing on her.

Who did he kill?

No!

Sir!

(HELL OF MURDER)

Give me your hand!

Just a little more!

I got you!

Climb!

You insolent prick!

How dare you!

(GOD OF MURDER)

This trial is about leaving

a doomed colleague behind.

Despite having enough time,

Kim's desire for his own safety

and his indecisiveness

ultimately caused his colleague's death.

If he'd acted in time,

the victim could've survived,

therefore, this could be

seen as an indirect murder!

This indirect murder was

a direct result of

his willful negligence,

and he must suffer

in the volcano

for 50 years...

5 years!

You can't demand

50 years from a paragon!

He's a paragon!

Be respectful

with your demands!

We demand a punishment

of 5 years that feels like 50!

Because he's a paragon!

Guardians, begin your defense!

I'd first like to question the defendant.

Do you remember your

colleague's last words?

Hello?!

- Listen.

- Help!

Help the injured first.

It'll be safer

if you control the fire.

Puncture the outer wall

and lift this with a pulley.

Got it?

It might cave in,

get going!

Get out!

Go on!

I'll be back shortly.

Stay right here!

That's all I can do.

I'll be right here.

Here, take this.

You'll need it!

Go! Go on!

Kim Ja-Hong,

raise your head.

You're not guilty yet.

Raise your head, Mr. Kim.

One more question.

During the fire that day,

you followed his order

and couldn't save him.

But how many others

did you save?

6...

7?

I'm not sure,

I can't remember...

Please pay attention

to the Mirror of Karma.

May I borrow this?

As you can see,

his memory may be foggy,

but he saved exactly 8 lives

from the vicious inferno.

He was on the nightly news

for his heroism.

Let me ask you this.

The defendant saved

8 total strangers,

but in order to do so,

he couldn't save his colleague.

How, then, are these lives

weighed differently?

I await your answer.

Such nonsense

on the first trial?

How do you weigh lives?

They're not even tangible.

If something invisible

has weight, they're all the same...

Honorable God of Murder,

please take into consideration

the prosecutor's last statement

as you weigh in on

Honorable Kim's charges.

It's too dangerous!

Get back!

Don't go!

No! No!

My daughter...

Ji-yeon, my baby!

Here is my final verdict!

The defendant's decision

to save many lives instead of

his colleague's is paradoxical,

but his death breathed

life to many!

His indirect murder charge

is thus rejected.

This court finds

Honorable Kim innocent,

as his murder charge

is completely without merit.

(RIVER OF INDOLENCE)

Mr. Kim.

The next trial determines

how well you lived your life.

Whether you lived it to the fullest...

Guardian Gang-lim!

It's like we hit a jackpot!

Finished scanning already?

There is no arraignment at all,

and he just has to step in

and say how hard he lived.
