My dad was a sailor.

In my faint memory,

I remember his white uniform

and his warm touch.

He never came back from the sea,

and he was wiped out

of my memory.

Sweetie, I'm so sorry!

I don't believe it!

Longing for dad,

mom, too, departed thereafter.

I became all alone.

Love is...

No, to women,

men do more harm than good.

I must rely on myself.

I'll succeed without

relying on anyone.

DIRECTED BY KANG HYO-JIN

WONDERFUL NIGHTMARE

Recent sexual assault case

is gaining traction on social media.

The suspect is rumored to be

son of CEO of a major corporation,

and public is arguing over

validity of this case.

- Youth protection...

- Turn it off.

Those sons of b*tches

should all be castrated.

BILL OF INDICTMENT Those sons of

b*tches should all be castrated.

What's the prosecutor doing?

Justice has failed, completely.

CHAIRMAN PARK:

HK CONSTRUCTION:

Chairman, this is LEE Yeon-woo.

Me?

I understand.

I'll take care of it.

Yes, sir.

Turn it around,

prosecutor's office.

It's attorney LEE Yeon-woo!

Ms. LEE!

Have you taken over

HK Construction's case?

Have you met the victim?

Let me be clear.

This is unrelated to

HK Construction,

and it has yet to be

labelled as a 'case'.

Can you confirm that you'll be

defending chairman PARK's son?

Can you verify that

it was an attempted assault?

Will this affect

HK's succession plan?

Nothing has been concluded.

Refrain from writing anything

based on conjecture.

- That is all.

- Please clarify!

What's HK's position?

Ma'am, I can only imagine

what you're going through.

I don't need anything.

I'll do whatever it takes

to lock up that bastard!

Yes, he deserves it.

But HK is one of the top 10

corporations in the country.

When he's transferred to

a foreign office for a while,

no one will remember this case.

But what about your daughter?

She has to attend school,

then find a job in Korea,

and get married here as well.

But when this case blows up,

and her identity is revealed online,

what'd happen then?

In all honesty,

it wasn't even rape.

You got no family,

no daughter, right?!

Do you know how I feel?!

Settle?!

No way in hell!

Mom!

Just a moment.

She's right.

Let's stop this.

We'll settle.

But not for a chump change.

She's smart.

Let's iron out the details.

Expensive suits are different!

You're one of a kind!

LEE Yeon-woo!

Been a while.

I wondered

if you'd take the case.

Judging from your face,

you got what you wanted.

I'm a little busy,

I'll see you later.

Without a supporter like HK,

would you still be like this?

No, what for?

You get tax payer's money,

but I get retainers.

It's the logic of capitalism.

That sharp mind hasn't

changed one bit.

That girl even attempted suicide.

So are you,

that emotional mind of yours.

Rationality and emotion are

what separates the rich from the poor.

You still don't get it.

How was the blind date?

I heard he was young and hot.

I didn't go, I hate young 'uns.

Not again?!

You're already 39!

Let's talk about

something more fun.

What's more fun than

talking about men?

Dating and marrying

your lover is the best.

Men are completely useless.

You're going overboard

with that logic.

Ms. LEE.

It's HK's chairman PARK.

Welcome.

Thank you for cleaning up

after my idiot son.

No, it's just work.

Thank you for pushing

my transfer to US branch.

Not at all.

Quid pro quo.

These shanties still exist?

It looks shabby now,

but that'll change soon.

I plan to build a nice

apartment complex.

So I wanted to personally

ask you for a favor.

Please speak your mind.

We're breaking ground in 5 years,

I'd like to push that up.

Can it be done sooner?

You know me, it's not a problem.

My US transfer came through.

I told you about it.

I'll never live a petty life

like you did.

Why aren't there

any lights here?

My glasses...

Excuse me, why am I here?

What is this?

May I get your name?

I'm LEE Yeon-woo.

Date of birth?

October 23, 1976.

One moment please.

Does this make one damn sense?!

How could you not notice

until clients are in heaven?!

I double checked...

Ms. KANG Su-yoon had

another full month left!

Is this China?

We're processing

50 million, not 1.3 billion!

Chief!

What?

Another soul was

processed prematurely.

What?

Mistaken identity

with LEE Yeon-woo, b. 1941.

Input error, most likely.

Good job.

Excellent job, a**hole!

Dammit!

It's a miracle!

Her pulse is back!

So she's alive?

1976 LEE's process date is 2054.

So...

a woman who's due in a month,

bypassed our relay station

to heaven,

and another who's due in 2054,

came here instead of a granny.

What the hell

have you been doing?!

Jesus...

How long to swap souls?

To cancel 1976 LEE's registration,

and put 1941 LEE in place

would take at least

a week.

And what about KANG in heaven?

That's the bigger problem.

She's supposed to

be in a car accident,

but had a heart attack.

She just needs to be alive

for a month, right?

Please sit.

This is an afterlife relay center.

In other words,

we relay deceased people

before sending them up to heaven.

Deceased? Who?

Me?

I don't believe you.

Why should I?

Why should I die at my age?

Can't you see that I'm alive?!

It was an accident,

a simple accident!

- Ms. LEE.

- It can't be!

Do you know how sturdy

that car is?!

Ms. LEE!

Then let me go,

let me live, please!

Can't you? Please!

Calm down and sit please.

Calm down.

I agree that

your bitter end was untimely.

May I make a suggestion?

There's a special program

for those who feel wronged.

They can be sent back

to the living.

Am I eligible?

Oh, thank you!

But in order for that to happen,

you'll have to give us a hand.

What must I do for you?

Live a month in

someone else's shoes.

There's someone

who's here too early.

You must take her place...

for her final month.

In other words,

live out another person's

final month?

That's it!

Once you finish that

and come back here,

we'll send you back,

like this never happened.

But I...

look different

and everything else.

We'll take care of that.

But you cannot reject her life,

act out in any way,

or interfere with

your previous life.

What say you?

We could help each other out,

or you could go to heaven now.

Okay, I'll do it.

I will.

Please step in this ring.

Put your hand on the screen.

See you in a month.

Am I back?

What's going on?

What is it?

What happened?

Pol... police! Police!

Was it that undies thief?

Move aside.

Where are you?!

There's no one,

maybe you were mistaken.

- You!

- Me?

I'm the undies thief?

You're the only

undies thief I know.

That's mine, right?

You're wearing it.

See?

That's my pair.

So which film are you

mimicking today?

Stay back!

Go away!

I'll hit you with this!

I will!

I'm late for work.

Wait.

What was that movie?

I know this!

Scream! It's Scream!

With Drew Barrymore, right?!
