(Episode 6: Captain Korea)

Hello, everyone.

You're watching Newsline,
and this is Na Ha Young.

Here's our first news.

Do you all remember Director Ma Dong Chan,

the famous director who
disappeared 20 years ago?

So many speculations are
being made right now...

regarding what happened to
him during the past 20 years.

Today, Director Ma is with us right now...



at the studio,

and he is going to tell us the answer...

to all those speculations.

Director Ma.

I heard you came here to tell us something.

I am...

Ma Dong Chan, the first person
to survive a cryonics experiment.

Hey!

In 1999, as a variety show director,

I planned a cryonics project...

and took part in it myself.

However, the planning and the
undergoing of the project...

was done solely by me...

without the broadcasting
station's approval.



I can attest that the
cryonics experiment...

is no longer a dream but a feasible one.

I was able to wake up after 20 years.

However, this experiment still
needs more researching to do.

We've found a side effect.

- Goodness, Mi Ran.
- Mi Ran.

- Mi Ran.
- Are you okay?

The side effect is hypothermia.

Cryonics can only live
if they can maintain...

a 31.5°C body temperature.

I am going to do everything that I can...

in order to perfect this project.

This is all that I can tell you.

Look at him pretending that
he didn't come to see me...

when I can recognize him from afar.

Professor Hwang was looking for a solution.

He was looking for ways...

to bring the temperature up to 36.5°C.

Did it succeed?

Yes, he did.

But the problem is, he's the only one...

who knows the solution.

We can't just sit and wait
for him to regain his memory.

I'm going to look for another way.

The world's first frozen human being...

was resuscitated in South Korea.

This was announced last night at
9pm, Korean time,

from their local station, TBO.

Breaking news.

South Korea has claimed...

that a mutated, frozen man has appeared.

Had we known this sooner, my father...

would've been able to get into one as well.

This was their first experiment...

Hold on. Isn't this about the man?

- Mi Ran's friend.
- I think it is about him.

He's the most searched keyword now.

No way.

Hey, Mi Ran.

You're also a cryonic, right?

I knew it.

You participated in the
experiment as well, right?

Shouldn't the National
Assembly discuss this issue...

regarding cryonics?

The Blue House's homepage has crashed.

Should we make that man join our party?

He's good-looking.

He'll help improve our image.

Hey.

What do you think...

about inviting that man to the Blue House?

Please ask Jo Gi Bum's
laboratory directly...

regarding any cryonic-related questions.

So Professor Hwang Gab
Su, who was in charge...

of the experiment, passed away.

- That is true.
- Then are you the one...

who resuscitated him after 20 years?

Yes.

After the professor's death,

I felt responsible for his resuscitation...

and delved into my research.

It took me 20 years to come up
with the defrosting formula.

I see.

There are rumors...

about another subject other than Mr. Ma.

That is not true.

Jo Gi Bum.

We need to get rid of the man
who resuscitated Ma Dong Chan.

That way,

Lee Seok Du will never wake up again.

Yes, sir. I'll make sure to
hire professionals this time.

Do it when the dust settles.

Everyone has their eyes on
this issue at the moment.

Yes, sir.

Did you say that the director's mother...

ran a pork rib restaurant?

That is true.

Oh, my, oh, my, come on in

If you're hungry, please stop by

You can eat and eat and eat

Our pork ribs

Goodness, my son is so handsome.

Don't curb your appetite and eat our ribs

Hanging soju bottles on that...

looks amazing.

Right?

She's full of ideas...

and knows how to reuse waste.

I love pork ribs

I feel happy to eat them

It's all right

You can have more

If it's for you

- We'll give them all
- Dong Chan.

- Yes?
- You're clocking in late today.

Yes.

Goodness. Are you going to work?

Yes. By the way, Mom.

Why is it so noisy?

We need to make money when
an opportunity shows itself.

We need to get back on our feet.

After you appeared on TV,

our sales jumped threefold within a week.

It won't be long until we
live like we used to again.

I see.

I love

- Father...
- Pork ribs

- Dong Sik.
- The entire family

- Dong Sik!
- Loves it

You'll get arrested for
causing such a scene...

in the middle of the street.

That's enough!

It's all right

You can have more

If it's for you

We'll give them all

Oh, my, oh, my, come on in

If you're hungry, please stop by

You can eat and eat and eat

Our pork ribs are the best

When I disappeared,

did you ever think that I could've died?

Never.

I thought that you might've
gotten into an accident...

and lost your memory.

If that was the case,

I thought you'd live your life...

while having your favorite food, pork ribs.

Then I thought there could be a chance...

that you'd visit our restaurant as well.

Is that why you started this?

That's right.

But this restaurant...

doesn't suit you, does it?

Thank you.

Don't be ridiculous.

You look so fine in these
20-year-old clothes.

I wonder who gave birth to you.

I'll get going now.

All right.

And you.

Stop drinking.

And you.

Read the books I've bought for you.

Stop watching online videos.

Okay.

You can eat and eat and eat

Our pork ribs are the best

So you have no idea who your client is?

You've never seen their face?

I'm telling you so.

I was given the address to that
52-year-old producer's house,

the broadcasting station's address,

and just his phone number.

Our payment was paid in cash...

and was delivered to our
office by a delivery service.

You can check again.

Gosh, it hurts.

Do you think they really
don't know who hired them?

I think they have no idea.

Who could it be?

I know.

The police aren't interested anymore
because it's a closed case now.

Whoever hired those men knows
that Professor Hwang is alive.

You're right.

By the way,

you're a star now.
Everyone's talking about you.

Can you make some time for me, Ms. Ko?

Does that mean that cryonic man...

is her boyfriend?

He can't be.

- Ji Hoon, eat before you go.
- I have no appetite.

- You should eat before you go.
- What about Dad?

Don't ask me about him. I don't know.

I am...

Ma Dong Chan, the first person
to survive a cryonics experiment.

Yes, it's him. The director of
"Infinite Experiment Paradise".

Did Mi Ran work part-time for this show?

A cryonics experiment.

That's it!
Mi Ran took part in the experiment.

A cryonics experiment?

That was it. That was it!

Mi Ran.

Ko Mi Ran!

It's Mi Ran.

- Hey, Mi Ran.
- Hey.

Ta-da.

Did you finally get modernized?

How are you feeling, by the way?

I was worried because
I heard you were sick.

I'm fine. When is our project due?

Next Friday.

I brought what I drafted for my part.

Here.

Why don't you just email it to me?

I'll text it to you.

I see. Okay.

I'll do that.

I noticed that TBO's Variety Department...

has internship opportunities...

open for university
students over the break.

- Really?
- Yes. I'm going to apply too.

- That's a great idea.
- Hey, Mi Ran.

About that man who spoke to you
on the bench of self-reflection...

- What?
- The cryonic director.

Him?

Is he your boyfriend or something?

No.

I have high standards.

What? He's really good-looking.

He's not my type.

He's not handsome at all.
He looks like a girl.

Dong Chan lives his life doing
everything he wants to do,

so he'll never get sick from stress.

You're right. If anything,
people around him wIll get stressed.

Also, there's no way he'd
get sick from getting angry.

His body is cold like ice,
so he'd cool down fast.

It makes me look lowly to say this,

but I'll say it since it's you.

Had we known this would
become such a hot topic,

I wish I had acted like I
was a part of the project.

It really makes you look bad.

To be honest, I was the one
who paid for everything...

and persuaded our boss.

This project only happened...

because I got Ko Mi Ran
to sign the agreement.

Let's keep our dignity
intact even in emergencies.

What did you say?

You tried to run when you
were asked to be responsible,

but now that they're giving credit,
you want to be acknowledged.

- Let's not live like that.
- Shut your mouth.

I didn't live that poorly...

to deserve a lecture from you.

I don't have a single regret...

nor do I feel ashamed about my life.

That must be why you lived that way.

I would've left the country
from the shame if I were you.

When you committed adultery
with a Russian woman...

Hyun Gi, why are you
always in Mr. Kim's office?

Are you two dating?

Come outside and work. Aren't you coming?

I'm coming.

This is so unfair.

This is extreme mutiny.

Right. Can you gather documents on
Director Cho Young Seok's shows...

and put it on my computer?

Dong Chan, I'm the chief.

I'm not your assistant director anymore.

Even if your memory stopped...

when I was still your assistant director,

you have to accept reality.

Chief Son.

Stop. I'll collect them and
put them on your computer.

I'm going to start working hard now.
I'll come up with a pilot program.

Go ahead. You should live your life
doing everything you want to do.

I'll keep Mi Ran with me.

Now I have another boss.

Once my investment in Dubai hits gold,

I'm going to quit.

How much longer do you plan on avoiding me?

I plan on protecting the woman...

I once used to love until the end.

I'm afraid of finding out
more about what I didn't know,

so I don't want to dig
this problem any deeper.

That's my way...

of protecting you.

It's the best I can do for you right now.

Dong Chan.

I'll wait.

I'll wait until you look at me again.

That's...

the best I can do right now.

(Ko Mi Ran)

I'll wait for you in the meeting room.

(Ko Mi Ran)

I'll be acknowledged for my ability...

and get transferred to
a full-time position.

It won't be easy to get
a full-time position...

unless everyone agrees
that you're talented.

- You have to do a good job.
- Okay!

You seem fine.

This watch can check your vitals.

If your temperature starts to rise,

that vital watch will make a warning sound.

When you get a fever,

make sure you take a shot
of this fever reducer fast.

After watching the show,

Biocode in the US made this
shot especially for us.

I hate taking shots.

I'm sorry.

No, I...

I'll just take it.

The needle is really
thin, so it won't hurt.

Okay. I got it.

If you're going somewhere
else other than the station,

make sure you inform me.

Download a location
tracking app on your phone.

Can you stop nagging?

Also, let me know your
heart rate body temperature,

and blood pressure every
two hours through a text.

The next time you faint,

make sure you get my permission first.

Why should I?

Because we're fated to be grouped together.

I hate nosy people and being nosy too.

So do I.

We can't live our lives
doing only what we like.

We can't live without doing
what we don't want to do.

I'm sick of apologizing.

You have an hour-long class today, right?

- Yes.
- Come back right after class.

We're going to have a
meeting to plan out a show.

They're like my burdens of life.

Director Ma.

I'm Kim Woo Sae,
a reporter at Shingi Media.

Oh, hello.

Hey, is it true...

that you've developed a weird ability...

after you came out of the capsule?

From what I heard,

everything you touch becomes ice cold.

Where...

Where did you hear that?

Is it true?

How does this feel?

Well...

It does feel a little cool.

Right?

After three minutes...

Yes?

You'll freeze to death.

Then what about the other rumor?

What?

Is it true that another person
participated in the experiment?

Do reporters write articles
based on assumptions these days?

People got fired for
doing that 20 years ago.

Be careful.

The trend is going backward these days.

(Department of Chinese Literature)

May I help you?

Ko Mi Ran.

It's me.

Your first love.

Hwang Byung Sim.

I couldn't believe it
when I first saw you...

because you looked just like
how you used to 20 years ago.

I know that you participated
in that absurd experiment...

because of me.

What are you talking about?

Cut the nonsense.

I hope we never run into each other again.

No wonder that psychology
class was so boring.

You're a professor?

I feel bad for your students.

Mi Ran, I never once forgot about you.

Why wouldn't you forget about me?
Who do you think you are?

Why in the world did you
keep thinking about me?

You're still so hardheaded.

Mi Ran, let's...

go back to 20 years ago.

- What?
- Let's go back...

and make up for the time we lost.

Let's make our love come true.

Byung Sim.

How is that you haven't changed at all?

Are you crazy?

No.

I'm being very rational right now.

You know that I don't drink or smoke.

I'm not emotional either.

Aren't you married?

Yes, I am.

But I'm going to get a divorce...

now that you're here.

Mi Ran, let's...

Get lost before I kill you.

Mi Ran.

Hey! Hey!

Hey! My gosh!

What do you have against me?

It's been 20 years already.

Why are you messing with my
life by showing up again?

Why aren't you coming?

Where? The police station?

- 44 years old?
- My gosh, she's 44 years old.

Are you serious?

Don't punish her.

I don't want to press charges against her.

How do you guys know each other?

Please don't tell them
that I'm your past love.

Our love still exists in the future.

If I'm going to get punished for assault,

let me beat him up a bit more.

Ma'am!

You can't beat someone
up at a police station.

Don't talk to me like I'm old!

Madam, please calm down and take a seat.

You can't beat him up...

when he doesn't even have the
ability to defend himself.

You're here because we received a report.

But the victim doesn't
wish to press charges,

so we're going to send you home.

Please sign this.

Mi Ran.

If you were born as a guy,

you would've gone to jail
at least once in your life.

That will never happen.

I don't like getting locked up.

Do you think people go to prison
because they enjoy being locked up?

They ended up in jail...

because they failed to
control themselves like you.

My goodness.

I get that you were angry,
but how could you hit a professor?

He's a lot older than you.

No, he's not. We're the same age. He's 44.

You also need to stop lying about your age.

Stop lying depending on what
kind of situation you're in.

You sometimes act like you're 24.

But when it's necessary, you say you're 44.

Stop doing that. It'll become a habit.

It's really bad for your health...

to be so temperamental.

Your body temperature will increase,

and you'll end up getting
hospitalized again.

I don't mind if a woman is
ugly, eats a lot,

and doesn't know the multiplication table.

I don't even mind when a
woman doesn't wash her hair.

But I really hate it when a woman swears...

and hits someone.

So...

please stop doing that.

Whatever.

Why did you hit him?

Answer my question.

This isn't my first time
seeing you beat up a guy.

Is it your hobby?

It's the same guy.

- What?
- He's my ex-boyfriend.

That good-for-nothing ex-boyfriend.

He kept hitting on me.

He asked me to date him again
and make up for our lost time.

My gosh, it was so gross.

If I had anything sharp,

I would've stabbed him.

Hey, you did the right thing.

You should've told me earlier.
I'm glad you hit him.

He really deserved a good beating.

I'm glad you hit him.
You should've beaten him to a pulp.

What a complete jerk.

Where is that punk?

I need to increase my hemoglobin levels.

(Hwang Dong Hyuk)

You're the guy who was frozen.

Why did you mess with Mi Ran?

Before we talk about that,

why did you freeze my girlfriend?

My life got ruined because of you.

My gosh, I can't believe this jerk.

"Jerk"?

How dare you talk to me that way?
You're so much younger than me!

My gosh.

I'm 52 years old!

You can't call yourself 52!

You weren't even alive
during the past 20 years!

You are unbelievable.

- Hey.
- What?

Look.

You see that?

What year did you enter college?

- In 1996, you jerk.
- I entered in 1987, you punk!

On top of that,
I graduated the same school as you.

Who do you think you are,
you darn little junior?

I ate a lot more than you!

Well, good for you.

You should start acting your age.

Hey, you fake 52-year-old.

That little jerk.

Hey, let me warn you.

If you mess with Mi Ran one more time,

I'll go ahead and kill you.

What gives you the right to do that?

Because I'm partly responsible...

for her life.

You're not only responsible for her life.

You're responsible for my life as well.

- Are you kidding me?
- Stop it.

Why am I responsible for your life?

My life turned out to be a mess...

after Mi Ran suddenly disappeared!

What a complete lunatic.

- My gosh.
- Hey, you little...

- Let me go, you jerk.
- Will you guys stop?

- No, I won't let go!
- You jerk.

Two civilians are fighting
at a police station.

And you're all just going to watch?

Will you please stop them?

Get over here!

- My gosh, stop it.
- You little jerk!

- Let me go!
- That's enough.

- My gosh.
- Stop it.

- Stop it!
- Let me go!

Come here!

- Stop!
- My gosh.

I'll teach you a lesson.

Let me go.

Darn it.

Hey, you. Listen up. Stay away from her.

Don't make her blood boil.

Who are you to order me around...

when you're still wet behind the ears?

Hey, Hwang Byung Sim! Shut it.

And you too.

I'll take care of this.

Let's go and eat. I'm hungry.

I got upset over something unnecessary.

Gosh, my blood almost boiled.

You!

Isn't that guy the cryonic man?

You're right. He was on the news.

That little punk.

Hey.

(Korean Style Restaurant Jinsagalbi)

We've arrived, sir.

Let's just eat for today.

Dolphin? Where is it?

I'm sorry.

Are you all right?

- Look here.
- I'm fine.

He's the cryonic man.

- He was on TV.
- You're right.

Isn't that him?

- Oh, my. You're right.
- It's him.

- You're right. It's fascinating.
- I told you.

After this, let's go back to the station...

and plan out our program.

I'm not done with my proposals.

This is separate.

Do you really think they'll
approve your proposals?

What do you mean?

I'm preparing something amazing.
You just wait.

Fine. I do hope so.

If that scumbag of an
ex-boyfriend bothers you again,

let me know immediately.

Forget it. I'll take care of it myself.

And stop smiling in front of men.

Don't look cute in any way.

What do you mean?

Are you saying I have a cute smile?

No, but it may look so to that scumbag.

You're twisting everything that I say.

- Hello, sir.
- Hello, sir.

Hey.

Hi, sir.

Oh, dear. Look at that. It's so pretty.

Can I take a photo and
upload it to my blog?

- Okay.
- It looks so pretty.

Try it.

- It's really good.
- Is it?

There are so many people here.

They say those who make
money makes more of it.

At this rate,
you could buy this building soon.

Forget it. I'm jealous of Mi Ran.

She's 44 but looks 24.

Hey, be careful what you say.

No one should know about that.

Got it.

By the way, she should've told
us about that great experiment...

instead of doing it alone.

I know, right? I would've done it.

Are they not doing it anymore?

I want to snuggle with Brad Pitt...

in a single capsule.

I'd freeze myself...

the day before meeting Byung Sim...

and wake up 20 years later.

If that happened, you'd no longer
have your handsome son, Ji Hoon.

Oh, my. Talk of the devil.

(My handsome son, Ji Hoon)

It's "speak of the
devil", you ignorant girl.

- Fine, fine.
- What should I do with her?

Hello, my son.

What?

Dad was assaulted by a
female student at school?

- What?
- How bad are his injuries?

Who and why did she do that?

Okay. All right. Let's hang up for now.

What's wrong?

I'm so humiliated.

He's really a headache.

How could someone be such a nitwit?

Did he not tell you who it was?

He said he couldn't.

But he claims that neither he nor her...

did anything wrong.

What does that even mean?

He's always blabbering like this.

He makes absolutely no sense.

You're right.
He says whatever is on his mind.

Don't get irritated. It'll make you hotter.

Call Mi Ran. We're almost at the station.

Okay.

(New Variety Show Proposal)

Sir...

Hey, Young Sun.

You're here?

Okay.

Hey, Mi Ran...

What?

(I'm clocking out early.)

(Those beautiful friends of mine are here.)

I'm clocking out early.

Those beautiful friends of mine are here.

There's a limit to how much
I can tolerate her friends.

Hey, do you know what's
even more ridiculous?

Do you know what that punk said to me?

He wanted to date me again.

So I gave him a good beating.

Why do you think he changed his name?

He even looks slightly different.

I don't know...

if he went under the
knife or was beaten up.

Aren't you guys shocked too?

- Right.
- Yes, I guess.

I don't know who his wife is,

but I feel terrible for her.

Let me go to the bathroom.

- Mi Ran.
- Yes?

Byung Sim...

got married to Young Sun.

Young Sun? Who is that?

Do you know her?

What?

They got married?

That's unbelievable.

Come on. You were so incapable
that I gave you the easiest job,

peeling spring onions.

Why aren't you working?

Don't tell me this is hard for you.

I'm sorry.

If you are,
then hurry up and regain your memory.

If you let my son live
without any side effects,

I will forgive you.

I will try.

- Hello, my son.
- Hello.

Professor.

I requested the police to protect you.

But you must still be careful.

The private police will
escort you from now on.

I think...

I did something dangerous...

in the past.

Maybe I did something I shouldn't have.

Today,

I bled a bit.

My bones hurt, and so does my heart.

My body and soul are both weak,

so...

Get out.

- What?
- Leave and live with Freud.

You're only harming...

Should I burn your clothes and books?

Do you want to leave this place naked?

If you don't want your name to
be on the school bulletin board,

get out!

You're a hipster now, Uncle Dong Chan.

What is that?

The opposite of a loser.

It means he's popular.

Did you read all the
books I told you to read?

Which ones did you tell me to read again?

Was it "The Three Little Porks"?

I'm sorry.

It's because of the business we're in.

I hope you can understand.

Why are you talking so much? Just eat.

What about "Snow White"?
Did you read that one?

Hey, don't you know we
shouldn't read about princesses?

Snow White, Ariel,
Thumbelina and Cinderella...

all have problems.

People don't believe they can
change around their lives...

by meeting a good man anymore.

We don't need princes on white horses.

It's time we make stories about
white horses riding princes.

She has zero childlike innocence.

I tried to revive it, but it didn't work.

Just eat.

Didn't you feel anything after
reading "The Three Little Pigs"?

Being the landlord is the best.

They're going through the trouble
because they don't have a home.

The clock struck 12.

Cinderella was rushing home...

and her shoe fell off.

The glass shoe shattered.

That's how Cinderella hurt her foot.

Her blood just gushed out.

It was bad.

That's why the KCSI came to the scene...

to catch the criminal.

Cinderella was sent behind bars.

No, they tested the blood...

and Cinderella turned out
to be the prince's sister.

What is this? Does that mean...

Cinderella's mom had an affair?
That's crazy.

She got married into a good family.

Hello?

Hey, Ma Dong Chan!

How much longer do I
have to play your lackey?

Until when?

Are you here?

Yes, I came.

Do you want a drink?

Don't you know I shouldn't drink?

I don't know.
What are you going to do about it?

Can't you...

let me treat you like you're
younger just for today?

When I think about it,

I have more experience in life!

One ice water, please.

Okay.

Once you become my age,
there's this thing...

What should I say?

Your life feels futile.

I don't know what I'm living for anymore.

I aged without having
accomplished anything.

But I don't intend on dying either.

Because...

it's too embarrassing to die
without having done anything.

I'm afraid people will point
fingers at me after I die.

When I look back at my past,

my future feels even darker.

This body will go rotten
after I die anyway,

so I should just live recklessly.

That's the conclusion I got.

- Stop drinking.
- Stop it.

Don't.

You can't understand me, can you?

You'll understand later on.

You won't understand just
from hearing it from me...

because you're too young.

Is there a pretty, curvy,

and benevolent woman anywhere?

- That's all I think about.
- This is Son Deok Hee...

of "99 Minute Debate".

The world's first cryonic man...

appeared from South Korea.

Behind me is none other than
the talk of the town these days,

Captain Korea.

It's a picture that proves how popular...

the cryonic man is these days.

What is "Captain Korea" anyway?

You're the fake copy of
the American cryonic man,

Captain America.

Had I been frozen with you then,

I'd be Captain Korea's friend, Bucky.

The topic of today's debate...

is on the cryonic man's age.

Should we see him as 52
according to his legal documents,

or should we see him as 32
which is his physical age?

We'll now start our heated debate.

Stay tuned.

Descartes said,

"I think, therefore I am".

We can't say that...

the time he spent without
thinking actually existed.

He was in a cryonic capsule
without the ability to think.

Counting those years wouldn't make sense.

The significance must be put
on the fact that he existed.

To be alive and to be able to
breathe mean that we exist.

The time he spent existing...

counts as his life and lifespan.

Did he still exist while
he was being frozen?

We must count those years
as a part of his age.

All right, everyone. Listen.

Let's say a 10-year-old
wakes up 20 years later...

after being frozen in a cryonic capsule.

Then is that child 10
years old or 30 years old?

He would be 10 years old for sure.

He'd only have the capability
to think like a 10-year-old.

How is he 10 years old?

All of his friends would be 30.

Should he cut off all of his relationships?

Friends? What friends?

They wouldn't be able to communicate.

Age doesn't matter between friends.

- Gosh.
- You don't have friends, do you?

Darn.

- "Darn"?
- Excuse me, Ms. Kang Ok Bong.

Please refrain from slandering others.

Age shouldn't be accumulated
according to the passage of time.

Physical age matters to animals.

Aging is visible...

through your physical age, not by time.

That's why that man...

is 32 years old.

Yes! You're 32.

I guess cable channels do
debates on such matters.

Now, it's necessary to
think about what age is.

- General MacArthur said this.
- Come on.

"You are as young..."

"as your faith."

Just because you're old...

doesn't mean you're an adult.

Are you saying that an elderly
who aged without faith...

shouldn't be recognized?

No, right?

Then...

do you think we should recognize
those who aged through their anuses?

Ms. Kang Ok Boon,
please watch your vocabulary.

It's not Ok Boon!

It's Ok Bong.

Ms. Kang,

you're being too harsh.

Did you age through your anus?

Hey! How old are you?

Okay, okay. It seems like our panelists...

are getting overly passionate.

We'll connect to one of
our viewers over the phone.

Hello?

Hello.

Yes. What's your name
and where do you live?

I'm Oh Maria from Haengdang-dong.

I see. Ms. Oh Maria.

The age of the cryonic man isn't important.

The state should provide him with support.

To be frank, he doesn't get
any insurance benefits...

nor are there any related medical laws.

This is what's more urgent.

Wait, doesn't she sound a lot like Mi Ran?

What?

I called because it was frustrating...

to watch you fight over his age.

To be honest, if that 52-year-old man...

signs up with a marriage consulting agency,

they'll categorize him as
someone wishing to remarry.

No one would think he never got married.

How upsetting would that be?

Shouldn't the government
compensate for that?

I think they should hurry up
and pass a bill for cryonics.

She's saying all the right stuff.
What a smart woman.

It'd be nice if Dong
Chan was given a pension.

He didn't win an award in the Olympics.

Why would he get a pension?
We pay taxes for that.

You don't even pay taxes.

Don't think that everyone
deserves to get a pension.

You cold-hearted punk.

Why don't you want Dong
Chan to get a pension?

My gosh, be quiet!

That's a good point.

But it's hard to say that he was alive.

Every organ in their body was frozen.

He wasn't even breathing.

You can't really think of
that as a living state.

It's him.

Everyone is born with their own fate...

based on the time and date of birth...

He wasn't the one who was frozen.

He just looks similar.

It's not him.

He looks similar, doesn't he?

It's not him. Where are you going?

No, it's not him. You're mistaken.

Hello?

Are you trying to reveal that you
participated in the experiment?

What did I do?

That Oh Maria lady who called was you.

How did you know that?

I purposely ate a lot of dried squid
so my voice would sound different.

Will you please think before you act?

No one can find out that you
participated in that experiment.

How many times did I tell you
that it'll put you in danger?

People around me already know.

I can't hide it forever.

Right now, it's just the people around you.

But it'll be different when
the whole world knows about it.

Okay, fine. Stop nagging.

And why are you even
worried about my marriage?

It's not just your problem.
It's my problem too.

I might have to go on a blind
date with a divorced man.

Just forget it.
There's no point in talking to you.

- Let's hang up.
- Hey.

Are you feeling okay?

Just make sure you stay healthy.

Call me if anything happens, okay?

Okay.

She's such a psycho.

He's such an old geezer.

My gosh, you startled me.

Byung Sim, what brings you here?

Can you keep me warm at your
house for just one hour?

It's darn hot outside.
Why do you need to stay warm?

My heart is freezing.

My gosh.

My goodness, Byung Sim.

Kyung Ja.

You're my friend, right?

I'm not your friend.
I'm Young Sun's friend.

- Kyung Ja.
- Stop calling my name.

I hate hearing my name. It's so tacky.

- Kyung Ja.
- You jerk. I told you to stop.

Do you like it when I
make fun of your name?

Can you help me get back
together with Mi Ran?

- What?
- I...

love her.

Are you crazy? Then what about Young Sun?

I'm not worried about her.

Her dad's loaded.

And as you already know,
we don't love each other.

Do you seriously think Mi
Ran will take you back?

It'll take some time.

But she'll eventually take me back.

I understand why Mi Ran's so angry.

It all comes from her frustration.

She still feels betrayed by me.

She...

still loves me.

I'll just cope with everything.

I'll just have to understand her.

I don't get how Young Sun was able
to live with you for 20 years...

without killing you.

Hey, that's my favorite alcohol!

- Hello.
- Hello.

Ma'am.

Someone leaked the fact...

that there was another woman who
participated in the experiment.

We should do a cover on this first.

If we don't do it,

some other channels will.

Then we'll just have to come up...

with an article that will
rebut their assertion.

Have you thought about why Director Ma...

is trying so hard to protect that person?

Some things are better off not
being broadcasted on the news.

And the News Department should
know how to differentiate that.

We can't ever do a cover on that.

Okay.

You should tell that
woman to be extra careful.

And you should reconsider
working with her...

in the same Variety Department.

I heard the news.

Thank you.
I'm sure it wasn't an easy decision.

What's that supposed to mean?

What?

That ring.

Let's start over again.

Our love...

hasn't ended yet.

Director Ma.

(Melting Me Softly)

At least he had a girlfriend before
he got frozen. What about me?

The variety shows at TBO
are going to change...

now that I'm back.

Why is your heart rate
increasing all of a sudden?

- Did your heart flutter?
- What's his problem?

Does he have a hormonal problem?

I'll protect you and make sure
you're never put in danger again.

You've dated someone before, right?
You probably flirted with them.

Have you ever flirted with anyone?

Please help me protect
everyone starting with Mi Ran.
