The police are searching for a woman in her 40s who went missing ten days ago
from a public parking lot near Inwangsan Mountain, Jongseo-gu.
She stopped by a makgeolli restaurant right before she went missing.
So the police are investigating all the vendors in the area.
Go Eun-seo was born in 1976.
She lives in Sungin-dong, Jongseo-gu.
She's a nurse in the Department of Rehabilitation at Myeongin Hospital.
On December 21st, at 11:15 p.m.,
she left a makgeolli place near Inwangsan Mountain, Jongseo-gu.
She went missing on her way to the public parking lot where her car was.
There are four surveillance cameras in the vicinity.
But one of them wasn't working.
It was the camera that was facing the public parking lot.
So? What about the other cameras?
One of the three filmed the restaurant.
The other one filmed the entrance of Inwangsan Mountain.
The last one was facing the bus stop.
At that time, a man was seen following her.
According to the statements by the makgeolli place owner,
and the real estate agency owner, Mr. Kim Tae-kwang,
we believe the incident happened around this area.
The last person Ms. Go spoke to that day
was a 47-year-old man named Kim Myeong-sik.
He's married.
Is she married too?
Yes, sir.
Does her husband know that she's cheating?
At the time of the incident, her husband, Song Yeong-cheol,
was in Seosan, Chungcheongnam-do where he works.
And seven hours before she went missing,
he talked to her at 4:15 p.m. for the last time.
He couldn't reach his wife for two days. He reported her missing on December 23rd.
That makes her lover suspicious.
She left Yeon-ja's restaurant after getting a call from Myeong-sik.
She was standing with this woman for about a minute.
After that, Ms. Go went to the parking lot and this woman went to the bus stop.
Her name?
I don't know her name.
All I know is that she's a pretty lady who comes here once or twice a week
and has makgeolli and jeon.
They drank together that night.
But they met for the first time. That I know.
That missing lady paid for the bill.
If she's a regular, can I see her payment history here?
I don't know why but this woman only pays in cash.
There wasn't any mobile connection that was detected that night.
The surveillance camera on the bus was broken too.
I found a strange guy caught on the surveillance camera.
It's a little hard to tell because of the snow. But take a look.
Isn't that a gun?
Who is that guy?
You pretended like you were not. But you're so predictable.
Predictable?
Is that how you've been looking at me? With such passion in your eyes?
I was looking at the painting near you.
-That one. -I'm as beautiful as the painting, right?
-What? -I have eyes in the back of my head.
It's because men stare so much at me from behind.
Don't fall for me.
You'll get hurt if you fall for me.
I'm saving you too.
Don't fall for me if you don't want to get hurt.
-I don't think you need to worry. -Don't be so sure.
You'll fall for me if you let your guard down.
By the way, what is this smell?
-What are you doing? -Hold on. I smell something.
Smell? What smell?
Are you talking about that?
Hey, you're that lady. The one who called Cupid a bastard.
I guess you hold a mean grudge.
You heard me wrong.
-I did? -Yes.
You misheard me.
I said that Cupid is so sexy.
See? He's sexy.
What does that mean?
My goodness! Why do you keep teaching a kid bad words?
Why do you keep making him walk around alone?
You will be in big trouble if he goes missing.
You don't know where kids would go if you don't pay attention.
Also, "sexy" is a good word.
Let's just go, Joon.
Well, enjoy the sexy Cupid paintings. I should get going.
EP2. DON'T FALL FOR ME, YOU WILL GET HURT
Why is my heart beating so fast?
My gosh! What are you doing here?
I'm going home.
Why did you park here?
Is there a reason I can't park my car here?
No.
I'll get going then.
I just want one shot at love.
I should have a heartwarming memory of being with someone.
What in the world? She really has no red thread of fate.
But unless the culprit is a psycho, there's no way he'd be doing this here.
Aren't most criminals psychos?
Sir, I got the result.
-It's him. -Let's go.
PYOMYUNG GROUP
-Mr. Kim. -I'll call you back.
It's December 31st, 2021.
As of 7:30 p.m., you are under arrest for the murder of Ms. Go Eun-seo.
What?
You have the right to an attorney, to make rebuttals,
and you have the right to remain silent.
You can also contest the arrest in a court of law.
You two didn't just have a cup of tea and a few meals together.
CALL HISTORY
We found blood in your car. We had the DNA tested.
It's Go Eun-seo's.
-We had a little fight in my car. -It couldn't have been a little fight
if there's blood all over the car.
-We had a few drinks. -So you got drunk. And beat her to death.
The day we fought wasn't the day she went missing.
You met her that night too.
Ms. Go left the makgeolli place after getting your call.
You're here?
Okay. I'll be right there.
You were seen entering at 11:00 p.m.
and leaving at 12:39 a.m. on the surveillance camera.
It's true that I went there that night.
But I didn't get to meet her.
-The person you are calling is… -I was waiting for her nearby.
But she didn't show up even after an hour and a half.
I thought she was still mad at me.
It was snowing so hard. Why did you wait outside the car?
I was going to find her. She didn't pick up my calls.
Check the call records.
You sure you didn't do it on purpose as if you were looking for her?
Is he the man you saw that night?
I think so.
I think the guy was slimmer. He was shorter too.
You threw away Ms. Go's skirt two days ago, right?
-Wake up. -What?
-It's Kim Myeong-sik. -Kim Myeong-sik?
That's him, right?
I didn't want people to get the wrong idea.
The police are investigating because she's missing.
-That's a lot of blood on the skirt. -That's the night we fought.
Why did you take her skirt off?
I didn't take it off. She took it off.
She asked me to buy a new skirt because of the blood.
So I bought a new one from a nearby clothing store.
I only found out later that she left it in the car.
Check the dates of the security footage at the store.
You can even check the credit card payment history.
He was wearing a black jacket and a black hat.
I think…
he was about 175cm.
He looked shorter than 180cm.
That's strange.
I'm sure that the person I saw had a similar build to him.
Goodness.
I wonder if how I felt earlier is how men feel when they see me.
I should have asked for his number.
What's wrong with me?
NURSE KIM
Hey, Ms. Kim. What's wrong?
Dr. Oh, we have an emergency.
Why? What happened?
A car accident patient with a rebar penetrating the abdomen just came in.
But I can't reach the chief or the deputy head.
Only the internist is on duty.
I'll go. I'm nearby so I'll be there in ten minutes.
What am I doing here?
What's with her?
GUGI-DONG ANIMAL HOSPITAL
Is it okay to just do the surgery? We didn't get consent last time, and--
Then do you just want to let the patient die like this?
I'll take responsibility. Let's start.
IN OPERATION
GUGI-DONG ANIMAL HOSPITAL
POPPY ANIMAL CLINIC
I didn't know there was a hospital here.
Is it new?
Good work.
-Good job. -Good work.
Good job.
It's going to hurt a lot tonight.
But you have to hang in there.
-Good work. -You did a good job.
-Please keep checking on the dog. -Okay.
Everyone has a red thread of fate.
If it's thick, you find love in this life.
If it's thin, you find love in your next life.
If it's long, it means your love is still far away.
If it's short, it means your love is very near you.
But…
she doesn't have one.
She doesn't have that red thread.
What? Again?
Don't you remember what happened last month?
You performed surgery out of kindness. But the guardian threw a fit.
You had to cover the cost.
They blamed you for performing without their consent.
-What if they blame you again? -I can cover the cost again.
Cover the cost again? Do you think you're rich?
You live in a 20-year-old, two-bedroom apartment with a roommate.
I get that it was an emergency, but you should have asked the boss.
They said she wasn't answering. She usually doesn't.
She knows calls this late at night are usually emergencies like this.
I can't believe you're laughing.
It looks like you'll have to cover the cost again.
You said the dog's owner is unconscious…
I saved the dog.
The dog didn't get hurt because of me.
It survived because of me.
That's why I'm so happy right now.
As long as you're happy.
It's your money, not mine.
Cheers.
Geez.
This is nice!
What's wrong with me?
RELIABLE POLICE, SAFE COUNTRY
He did buy the skirt two days before she went missing.
Mr. Kim Tae-kwang says the person he saw matches Kim Myeong-sik's build.
Ms. Ham Yeon-ja says he doesn't. She said he was a bit slimmer and shorter.
-She said he was about 175cm. -175cm?
Yes. Kim Myeong-sik is over 182cm, so there is a difference.
Find this man.
You can be Superman.
This voice…
You're Gwyneth of Gugi-dong.
How did you get in here?
I warned you.
If you fall for me, you'll get hurt.
I won't fall for you, so don't worry.
Wait a minute.
What is this?
What did you do to me?
Untie me.
Untie me right now!
You should still be my Superman because you have to save me.
Says who?
I don't like Superman. I don't want to be Superman.
So untie me right now.
Hurry up and untie me!
Untie me!
No!
Hey, Dong-chil.
Cheon Dong-chil.
Get up!
I said get up!
Hey! Why did you push me?
You're back.
-Look. -I am back?
I'm back.
How long has it been?
It's nice to see you again.
It's good to see you again, Cheon Dong-chil.
Wait.
Was I hugging you again?
I don't know why I always want to sleep in your arms when I become a dog.
That's why I told you to lock the door when you sleep.
Look what you got us into because you didn't lock the door.
Hey!
Why is he the one getting mad?
Damn it.
What's for breakfast?
Gosh, I feel so sick.
I think I drank too much last night.
-Gosh. -Me too.
You scared me.
You're back. When did you turn back?
Last night.
I opened a bottle of wine to celebrate.
Looks like more than one bottle.
Hey, Sang-hyuk. What's for breakfast today? Man--
We need some soup for a hangover.
Cream pasta.
The investigation of a woman in her 40s who went missing near Inwangsan Mountain
when there was heavy snow still remains unsolved.
The police recently arrested her lover as a prime suspect.
But he will be released soon due to insufficient evidence.
-Reporter Lee is covering the story. -Another case there?
-Of all days, it was a snowy day. -Of all places, Inwangsan Mountain.
Of all cases, it's a missing woman's case.
Hey, let's eat.
I looked up the credit card this man used at the public parking lot
and it belonged to this company.
His car belongs to this company too.
Who is he? Is he your employee?
He's not an employee.
Is he a family member or a friend?
Is he the culprit?
No. He's a witness for the moment.
He would never kill anyone.
Look at what he's doing. It doesn't look normal.
You can ask the owner of the car what he was doing that day.
I can't cooperate.
You should get a warrant.
She's fine now.
I'm talking about Elizabeth.
-Is this her? -Yes, that's right.
It's her. Elizabeth.
Do you know why this man was like this?
He told me to pull myself together.
It wasn't a real gun.
My car is fine too.
Well, if you find this person, can you let me know too?
He's a nice man who found Elizabeth for me.
I couldn't thank him properly because it was all hectic.
Right, Elizabeth? We have to thank him.
Thank you. My goodness.
I love you.
-Have you found something? -No.
Please let us know if you do!
Did you find anything?
Anything yet?
Goodness.
Come to think of it, she hasn't come here for a few days.
Is there anything you can share with us?
Do you know where she lives? Or where she works?
I don't know.
I just know her as the lady who orders jeon and makgeolli all the time.
You should wait. She will drop by soon.
She seems to really like hiking.
This is happening again.
My heart beats so fast these days.
I get scared when I see black jackets.
Look at this.
I can't sleep without this.
Why don't you install a security camera in the restaurant
just for yourself too?
I already signed up for one.
They said they're coming today.
Did something bad really happen there?
-Sir! -Hey.
I don't think it was the man who was on the car hood.
The owner of the car said that the man found his dog for him.
This dog is Elizabeth.
Elizabeth?
-Then-- -That's the dog. It's the car owner's dog.
The man found the dog for him. This guy even warned him.
Both the driver and the car are fine.
And the owner of the Love Room said that this guy wouldn't kill anyone.
He told me to bring a warrant.
Sir, this dog…
Yes, it's a dog. Do you know the dog or what?
The name doesn't match the dog.
I think it's a mutt.
Cut it out.
This is Seo Jae-hee of Homicide Unit One.
Yes.
What?
He's dead?
I heard the DUI driver survived.
He killed two innocent people, but he got lucky and survived.
He's receiving treatment and eating three meals a day.
My goodness. This is unbelievable.
What if they had a baby? The child would have been an orphan.
Didn't they have a dog?
-Wasn't it a big dog? -That dog?
Are you okay?
There is a dog in the back seat.
I heard he was rescued at the site.
Apparently, he survived.
A huge bar went through his abdomen. But a vet saved him.
Really?
What's the use? The dog's owners are gone.
Where is that animal hospital? The hospital that saved the dog.
JONGSEO POLICE STATION
When will I be released?
They haven't found any solid evidence, so you'll be released soon.
-Please wait a little longer. -I have no reason to be here.
There's one more person who saw the culprit that night.
If they find him, it will help you get out of here.
Who's the other person?
GUGI-DONG ANIMAL HOSPITAL
I hope your parents are okay too.
Let me see.
Over there.
It's driving me crazy. What's wrong with me?
It's because of the scent.
What was it?
That familiar scent.
Right! This was it.
What are you doing?
It was this scent.
The scent that drove you crazy during lunch
because you couldn't remember what it was?
Yes.
It was bothering me so much that I thought I was going crazy.
It was this. Plum blossom.
-Let's run! -Goodness.
There were many plum trees on the hill near the orphanage where I grew up.
Every spring, lots of petals scattered in the wind.
The spring sun was warm, and the petals were dancing in the wind.
The wind was gentle.
I used to fall asleep on the hill because I liked how it felt.
I fell asleep as I smelled the scent.
It's that scent.
Maybe that's why I reacted like that.
It seems like you fell in love with him at first sight.
What?
Why would a strange man remind you of a childhood memory?
The part of the brain that controls the sense of smell
is closest to the part that stores memories.
A fleeting moment of smelling something brought back a good childhood memory.
You are in love with him.
Goodness.
I fell for him at first sight?
What the hell? Why are there so many men here?
Welcome. Is this your first time here?
Yes.
I'd like to ask you something.
It's time for Coco.
Coco.
You're here again.
-Shall we go in? -Sure.
You're number 36.
Okay.
WAIT NUMBER 36
Yes, that's it!
That's it!
-Good work. -You too.
Why doesn't she have a red thread?
Why?
I'll be back. I'm meeting Mi-ja.
-Will you have dinner with her? -You should just give up.
You dated for three months and then ghosted her for six months.
We'll be leaving this place soon.
I don't want her to think of me as the bastard who suddenly ghosted her.
Go ahead. But she might think you're a son of a bitch instead.
What's the difference?
-They're different. -Mi-ja is different.
Of all the girls I dated over 500 years, she is the sweetest.
All right. I'll be back.
All girls are sweet for the first three months.
Why are they sweet for the first three months?
You have to date a girl for at least four seasons.
Especially when it's hot and cold.
That's when she shows her true self.
Why didn't you tell me you were in the hospital?
I didn't want you to worry.
How sick were you?
I got the wrong idea because I had no idea you were sick.
I'm sorry.
All my friends told me that you ditched me.
They heard about men disappearing during blind dates after using the restroom.
But they've never heard of a boyfriend who ghosts his girl for six months
after using the bathroom.
Do you know how harshly they teased me?
I'm sorry, Mi-ja.
It's okay. You showed up in front of me again.
Damn it.
Dong-chil?
Dong-chil.
Dong-chil!
This jerk disappeared on me again?
I can't believe this. Dong-chil, you ****!
You disappeared again after just 30 minutes?
You're the worst man in the world.
I ought to make omelets out of your eyeballs to teach you a lesson!
You ****!
If I ever date you again, I'm a dog myself!
OUR DOG BITES BEWARE OF DOG
What? You turned back into a dog?
So Mi-ja was a nice girl like you said.
-A nice girl? -Are you serious?
All she did was swear at him even though he showed up for only 30 minutes
after ghosting her for six months when they'd dated for three months.
She's nice.
Hey, don't you see that he's heartbroken?
Let's go to the hospital.
-You need to see a vet when you're sick. -A vet?
POPPY ANIMAL CLINIC
Hey, hey.
Get up.
Nobody is visiting us today.
-What should we do? -We're always this empty.
They all used to come to my clinic.
What? Isn't that Ddaeng-chil?
Losing Andre was one thing. I won't lose Ddaeng-chil too.
What's going on here?
Bbong-soon should take that medicine. I'll see her in a week.
Okay. Thank you.
Mr. Superman?
How is he here?
Gosh, she's so pretty.
Seriously?
You are number 37.
WAIT NUMBER 37
-Thank you. -She grew so much!
Thank you.
It's all thanks to you.
Why is Cupid only hard on you?
You just need one shot?
-Let me check on her. -Sure, thank you.
You want at least one heartwarming memory with someone?
Your memories seem too hot to handle.
He's…
Does he recognize me?
He's good-looking just like me.
Hello. Gugi-dong Animal Hospital.
The ambulance?
I see. So that's what happened.
I'll discuss it with the director.
Please take a seat and wait.
Thank you, Doctor.
-Doctor, we have a problem. -What's wrong?
The owners of the dog that had surgery passed away.
Did you just get the call?
Yes, both of them passed away.
I feel so bad for the dog.
She's struggling to hang in there.
She can't go back to her owners now.
I'll call the shelter.
It won't be easy for the dog to stay there.
She needs treatment for some time too.
It'll be hard for her to get adopted, right?
Who would pay for all that?
I'll adopt her.
I'll take her with me. What's the adoption process?
-Why is he acting like he's cool? -Does he think it's easy?
It won't be easy to raise a dog.
YEON-JA'S MOUNTAIN VALLEY RESTAURANT
Welcome.
Sit wherever you like.
I think we have to call it a day.
We have to find him though.
Let's just call it a day.
All right.
-Let's wrap it up! -Yes, sir!
Sir.
119 AMBULANCE
That dog's owner was a good friend of mine at work.
Really?
I came here because I heard the dog survived when I attended the funeral.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Yes.
My heart is heavy.
He was my first boss.
How is the dog doing?
She's holding up well.
If she keeps recovering, she can go home in about a week.
After that, she'll need outpatient treatment.
-Are you really going to adopt her? -Yes.
Have you owned a dog before?
No.
Then why don't you think about it for a little longer?
-Think about it? -Yes.
You'll be responsible for her for the rest of your life.
I feel like you're rushing into this.
She just had major surgery.
So she'll need a lot of attention and care from now on.
She won't be like the other healthy dogs.
If you rush into adopting her and then you end up giving her up later…
She's already confused about not being able to get back to her owners.
Everyone has a first time. Right?
I may not be perfect, but I won't be irresponsible like that.
I'm a homicide detective at Jongseo Police Station.
You can report me if I give up on her.
Are you single?
I was going to ask you that first. Yes, I'm single.
That's even worse.
Isn't it better?
You're a busy detective who lives alone. That's the worst for a dog.
You should think about it some more.
Think about whether you can be a good guardian.
What? You don't think I'll feed her? You think I won't be home all the time?
I'm not saying you would do that.
I'm a detective.
I can see it in your eyes. You're convinced.
Let's do it this way.
Why don't you find out more about me?
I'll drop by whenever I can until she can leave.
Keep an eye on me.
How can I? I'm not one to decide that anyway.
A murderer's neighbor would think that he's an angel in most cases.
I'm the detective who catches those murderers.
A man who loves justice, who is like the light of society.
Just keep an eye on me.
See if I'll be a good guardian or a good man.
He's flirting with her.
What? He's flirting with her?
Where is she now?
She's recovering in the room.
Her name is Alexandra.
That's what my colleague used to call her.
Did he?
-Let's go and check on Alex. -Sure, let's go.
A sharp bar pierced through her body.
We removed it and performed surgery to connect the broken blood vessels.
Luckily, she hung in there.
Luckily, she met a skilled doctor like you and she survived.
That's very sweet of you to say.
I only say nice things to pretty people.
From now on, she'll need a guardian's careful observation and care.
Fine, you pass.
First of all, you have a way with words.
My actions are even better.
You can keep an eye on me.
Okay.
I'll be back tomorrow.
-Is he coming back tomorrow? -You don't have to come every day.
You can drop by when you have the time.
I'll drop by every day, even when I don't have the time.
Bye, Alex's father.
All right. Bye.
Ddaeng-chil can come in.
Let's go.
Thank you for your first visit.
We cherish our relationship with you. Gugi-dong Animal Hospital.
It must be destined.
I've never had a chance to be with animals before.
Yes, come in.
Let's go.
I'll leave you to it.
Hello.
We meet again. Mr. Superman.
Mr. Superman?
It should have my name on it.
I know.
Mr. Cheon Sang-hyuk.
You must be Ddaeng-chil.
You're pretty.
VETERINARIAN OH BAEK-RYEON
Is your name Oh Baek-ryeon?
Yes, I'm Oh Baek-ryeon.
-Oh Baek-ryeon. -Watch out for the pronunciation.
It means "pitiful."
-Your name is… -Pitiful, right?
It sounds like I have a sad love story that's 500 years old.
Why do you smile like that?
So this is how you flirt with men.
What? Flirt with men?
There are tons of guys outside.
-They all fell for this trick. -What do you mean?
You tell those men your sad love stories to make them want to protect you.
Oh, that…
You said you wanted to ask Cupid why he's only harsh towards you.
It's so obvious why Cupid isn't shooting at you.
All the men out there are staring at you.
-The people outside are not men. -Are they women then?
-They're guardians. -They're male guardians.
They're just regular guardians.
They're just the usual guardians who are here to get their pets treated.
What about that man who just left? Is he a special guardian?
-What? -You seemed so happy.
You two were laughing together.
-You even blushed. -I did?
WAIT NUMBER 36
I guess he's Superman Number 36.
The number you gave me last night was Superman Number 37.
There seems to be a misunderstanding, Mr. Superman.
I don't want to be that Mr. Superman.
You didn't need me in the first place.
What do you mean? I thought you came to get Ddaeng-chil treated.
I'm not here to get him treated.
I'm here to get him groomed.
-Groomed? -Yes.
I want to have his nails cut and his anal sac treated.
What? Anal sac?
Are you kidding me?
Hey!
-Hey! -Let's go.
I'm not going.
-Let's go. -I said I don't want to.
Goodness.
I don't want my anal sac to be treated.
Hey! Hey!
His anal sac has to be treated.
What's wrong with him?
Why is he angry?
GUGI-DONG ANIMAL HOSPITAL
Are you giving him the eye drops?
Yes, I am.
-Sir. -Hey.
-What happened? -There was a fire about two hours ago.
It looks like she fell asleep and forgot to turn off the stove.
The restaurant would've been busy at the time though.
I can't sleep without this.
We need to do an autopsy, right?
-Yes. -Sir, we need you here right away.
What's going on now?
Mr. Kim Tae-kwang, the owner of Daebak Real Estate, has passed away.
What?
I think he was drunk and he fell on his way home.
I can't believe both of them passed away in a day.
What do you mean?
Ms. Ham passed away too?
I'm not the only one who's uncomfortable with this, right?
It can't be a coincidence.
Witnesses of the Inwangsan Mountain missing woman's case.
Right?
It's weird.
How can two witnesses die on the same day?
There's still one witness left.
We don't know who she is yet?
-Good work, everyone. -Good work.
He's so cute.
What are you doing after work?
Aren't you Ddaeng-chil's guardian? What are you doing here?
-I'm drinking coffee. -Come in. Let's drink together.
Why are you outside? It's cold.
It's not cold. I turned on the heater.
It can't be as warm as the clinic though.
Let's go in and drink together.
No, I'm really fine.
Why would I get in the clinic without Ddaeng-chil?
Goodness, we can have a cup of tea without Ddaeng-chil.
Let's go in. Come on.
I don't think we're close enough for that.
Come in.
No, I don't want to.
-See you tomorrow. -Bye.
You don't want to?
Why did you park here then?
Are you there yet?
I'm on my way too. I'll be there in ten minutes.
I took a shortcut. I'll be there soon.
I guess this whole alley is taking the day off today.
Should I have taken a detour?
Am I hearing things?
Who are you?
Mr. Superman?
Are you okay?
-Yes, I'm fine. -Are you sure you are okay?
Let me see.
You didn't get hurt.
You're not hurt at all.
Why aren't you hurt?
Was I supposed to get hurt?
How come you are fine?
Should I not be fine?
It makes no sense.
-Your back should have been broken. -What?
No broken shoulders?
Your arm must be broken at the very least!
How can you say such things?
Your leg. Is your leg okay?
Your injury should've been bad enough to be hospitalized for 50 weeks.
What? 50 weeks?
-You mean 12 months? A year? -Yes.
It's always been like that.
What do you mean?
Men around me would get hit by a random lightning bolt
or pass out after choking on cold water.
One even fell backward and broke his nose. He lost a lot of blood and went to the ER.
My goodness.
Another one nearly died from eating pudding too.
Pudding?
So why…
