My dad was a sailor.
In my faint memory,
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.
son of CEO of a major corporation,
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.
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
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 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
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.
I told you about it.
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,
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?
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?!
