See You in My 19th Life (2023–…): Season 1, Episode 10 - Everything Has a Beginning and an End - full transcript

CHARACTERS, PLACES, INSTITUTIONS,
EVENTS, ORGANIZATIONS,

AND PROFESSIONS APPEARING
IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

It feels nice to leave everything behind.

When you want to leave,
you should just do it.

If not, you can't ever leave.
And you'll regret it.

It feels like leaving a battlefield.

I know exactly how that feels.

There was the Japanese invasion,

and wars in Spain
and the Goryeo Dynasty too.

You always tie everything
to your past lives.

Was I too old-fashioned?



You're from the old days.

I think that's the place.

So what you're saying is,

this was a place from your past life
a thousand years ago?

I only found out recently.

I only remember
bits and pieces of my first life,

mostly from seeing visions in my dreams.

Could I ask what you saw?

I saw a man walking toward me
through exploding fireworks.

A man?

What kind of man?

Are you jealous of a man
from a thousand years ago?

No, I'm not.

I was just…



asking about him because I was curious.

I don't know who he is yet either.

But since I still remember him,

he must have been quite special to me.

It's not something cheesy like
"love that lasts a thousand years," is it?

That sounds so good.

I'm going to be so excited
if I ever see him.

Come on.

Ji-eum.

I read it again and again.

The storybook in the jewelry box.

You said I was so special to you

that I could lift the rocks
that were burdening your heart.

I felt I had to reciprocate
after receiving such a confession.

Will you date me?

No.

What?

Why not?

Since you turned me down twice,
I'll do the same to you.

But I'll let you ask me
the same question in one go.

Will you date me?

No.

Ms. Ban.

Will you date me?

Yes, I will.

I want to date Mun Seo-ha.

Hold on.

I've never done this before, so…

Give me a minute. I'm almost done.

All done.

How do I look?

You look gorgeous.

-I have one more thing.
-One more?

Ta-da.

-Are they a set?
-Yes.

Let me try them on.

How do I look?

You look stunning.

This time,

stay by my side for a very long time.

No.

I'll stay by your side.

Okay.

I hope we get along well in this life too.

Yes, ma'am.

Let's go.

MUJINJEONG POND WATER FIREWORKS

It was somewhere around here.

What's wrong?

Are you not feeling well?

No, I just couldn't breathe all of a…

I'm fine now.

All right.

EVERYTHING HAS A BEGINNING AND AN END

Let's go see a doctor.

You were completely fine
until a moment ago.

Let's have them run some tests and…

I'm not dying.

Why would you say something like that?

Of course you aren't.

I'm sorry for worrying you.

But I'm really fine.

I think I just almost choked on something.

I'm really okay.

That's a relief but it was so sudden.

Director Mun.

Shall we head to our accommodation now?

Drink this first.

You scared me back there.

This is nice.

Director Mun.

What are you doing there?

Right.

It's more spacious
than it looked in the photos.

The faucet…

It works.

And the fridge…

It's empty.

Director Mun.

Shall we wash up now?

What?

Already?

Why?

We already had dinner,
so some wine would be nice.

And we'd be more comfortable washed up.

-Right.
-Do you want to go first?

Me?

-Or together?
-Okay.

What?

Should I go first?

Then let's do rock, paper, scissors.
Ready-or-not. Rock, paper, scissors.

Yes! I won.

You're so cute.

Where's the bedroom?

The bedroom? Over here.

You can wash up and sleep here.

Where are you going?

To my room.

Why are there two rooms?

Shouldn't we have two rooms
since there are two of us?

Of course not. One plus one is one.

We've also slept together
when we were little.

You can sleep with me in my room.

Me too.

Cho-won was there too.

Anyway, let's reminisce
about the good old days

and sleep together.

Go wash up.

Okay.

There's a lot of talk, isn't there?

There are quite a few articles
and comments, so…

THE IMPACT OF DIRECTOR LEE'S CONFESSIONS…

It'll die down soon.

People eventually lose interest
in other people's misfortunes.

The problem is that's not the only thing
they're interested in.

They're just commenting on your looks.
They don't care about the article.

"Mun Seo-ha is so handsome."

"He must've been a hero in his past life."

Oh, come on.
I was the hero in my past life.

What's it to them
if you're a bachelor or not?

I guess your father will have
countless potential daughters-in-law.

I'm sorry.

It's nothing to be sorry about.

Ju-won was the one
who needed justice the most,

but I can't do anything for her.

You revealed the truth.

Any apology wouldn't have mattered
to Ju-won who's already passed.

Also…

I was greatly consoled by you.

When?

Ban Hak-su.

CONFIRMATION OF DEBT REPAYMENT

How could this happen?

My father was the one
who killed me in my past life.

I know you burned it
because he was my father.

I just didn't want you to know.

No matter how distant you were from him,

knowing that fact
would have hurt you nonetheless.

Seo-ha.

You're all grown up now.

I'm older than you, Ji-eum.

Cheers.

Su.

He's Master Han-ya from the shrine.

SU, HAN-YA…

I was Su.

Then there was Han-ya from the shrine
who looked like Seo-ha.

But who was it that called my name?

SU, HAN-YA…

Are you really the man
from a thousand years ago?

Do you want to sleep with me that bad?

I'll let you then.

There's only one place left.

OKAY, I'LL FINISH THINGS UP

Do-yun.

You look tired these days.

So I saved up my allowance
and bought this.

This is good for your joints.

And it's also good for a broken heart.

Have one.

Come on, just open up.

Should we eat out tonight?

Do the dishes.

I'm off.

Have a good day.

Okay.

He seems fine.

Jeez, that's salty.

He's definitely out of it.

So this place can show me my past life?

There.

Your face is all over the news.

All right then.
Let's go see your past life.

Your grand past life.

What is…

You said you were a turtle
in your past life.

This is a magical rock
that looks like a turtle.

It instantly reminded me of you.

You insisted that you used to be
a turtle in your past life.

You remember that?

Most memories
from my past lives are vivid.

Even more so if they were special.

What were some special memories?

When I beheaded
an enemy commander during a war.

I also wrote a great song.

You know it.

I've also achieved
several feats in the palace.

The palace?

Were you a king in one of your past lives?

There were many different jobs
in the palace.

I suddenly feel more respect for you.

But one memory trumps them all.

You're my most special memory.

You're blushing.

No, I'm not.

It's just too hot.

I don't think so.
I think you're getting shy.

No, I'm not.

Were you scared?

-No.
-Your hands are sweaty.

-My body is naturally hot.
-Why are they so sweaty?

Is that so?

Isn't it so radiant?

Thank you

for bringing me here.

Come to think of it,

all the people from my past lives
that I met in this life

are so special.

It must've been hard to believe me.

But they still did and even consoled me.

It feels like I've been rewarded

for all the pain I felt

from my past lives.

It must have been tough, Ms. Ban.

You're so warm.

LEE JI-SEOK

Why aren't you picking up?

I think I know why he's calling.

It's obvious why they want to meet.

Even still,
there could be some business talk.

Wouldn't you need this for the hotel?

I did show up a few times.

And I got into a fight twice.

You fought? Why?

It bothered me how they mistreated Do-yun.

He's more than just competent.

People who don't know
say that Do-yun is the one sticking to me.

But the truth is,

I'm the one who's sticking to him.

You guys are together
because you both wanted it.

Relationships can only be maintained
when the feeling is mutual.

See?

I was just thinking of Ae-gyeong
and look who's calling me.

Hi, Ae-gyeong.

This is Min-gi.

Hello.

Why do you have her phone?

Ms. Kim is at the hospital right now.

What did you say?

-What?
-What do you mean?

How far are you?

From where?

I told you Ga-hui is handing out
her wedding invitations today.

She said you guys talked last week.

That's right.

She's waiting for you.
You're coming, right?

Okay.

Take your time and come quickly.

What did she say?

Cho-won is coming.

Of course she should.

Seo-ha isn't picking up.

Maybe he's busy.

His secretary would know.

I hope he can make it.

DAEHWAN LEE JI-SEOK

DAEHWAN LEE JI-SEOK

I'm looking for Kim Ae-gyeong.

That way.

Thank you.

You're here.

Ae-gyeong.

How long did they say it's been?

It's been a while.

Did you already know about this?

She insisted that I keep it a secret.

Even still, how could you not…

I'll go speak to her doctor.

-Cho-won!
-Cho-won!

-Hey.
-What took you so long?

What was that?

You're literally at every meeting.

Wherever you are, I'll be there too.

-They look good together.
-What was that?

You might become
Daehwan Group's daughter-in-law.

-I'll toss my bouquet to you.
-Hey. Cut it out.

Our group is considering
buying stocks in your family's company.

If our companies end up working together,

then you and I
will naturally see each other more often.

Wouldn't that be nice?

In your dreams.

I'm not into meeting people that way.

-There you go again.
-Who is that?

He's my style.

Mr. Ha.

Hey, Do-yun.

You actually came.

But you should've sent
Seo-ha here instead.

What do you mean?

He said Seo-ha can't make it

and asked if you could
send the invite separately.

So I reminded him
of how important this gathering was.

Ga-hui, your family owns
an airline, resorts, restaurants,

and even a distribution company.

I told him not to disappoint
the chief of Yuhan Group

and to show some dedication.

But the mere secretary showed up.

-Ji-seok.
-What?

I'll be receiving the invite
for Director Mun on his behalf.

Please understand
that he's out of the city for business.

I'll ask him to give you a call.

Sure.

You should have some
since you're here anyway.

No, thank you.

Hey, just eat.

There's a lot we haven't eaten.

This one's good.

Or have a drink.

Drink up. I'll pour it for you.

You should watch how much you drink.

You're making a sight of yourself.

What?

What's with him today?

That's enough. You're drunk.

She's right. Just sit down.

-Sit down.
-Okay.

You'll only attract lousy men
if you're that naive.

I said that's enough.
You don't even know him well.

-What's wrong?
-What's going on?

-What?
-How do you know him?

He has a knack
for detecting wealthy people.

-He's trying to get to Cho-won.
-That's enough.

And she's just too naive.

How dare he?

What do you know about him?

Tell me.

He has a knack
for detecting wealthy people?

Seeing as how he sticks to Seo-ha and me
but not to you,

you really must be a good-for-nothing.

Hey, that's a little--

What makes you so great?

What do you possibly have
other than rich parents?

Why do you humiliate him? It's upsetting.

Hey, I'm a little upset too.

I was just worried about you.

-We all are.
-Come on, let's just enjoy ourselves.

I'm sorry.

Can you give me the invitation next time?

-Wait. Cho-won.
-Cho-won.

-Cho-won.
-You're leaving?

Do you know who people gossip about more
whenever I'm with Seo-ha?

Me.

They gossip about
how much they have compared to me.

I'm used to it.

But that doesn't mean I'm fine with it.

I endure it because I chose this.

Just hearing them
talk about him was upsetting.

I can't imagine how he must've felt.

WORLD-CLASS ACTS
DONGBAEK CIRCUS TROUPE

-Uncle!
-Oh, no!

Promise me.

Promise that you'll be born again

and will come to protect me.

I promise.

Come here.

I enjoyed rolling the ball

I was happy when I sang

With white makeup on and a red nose

I sang of love

Goodness.

Time passed by so quickly.

Where have your chubby cheeks gone?

They didn't go anywhere.

They just disappeared with time.

You're awake.

I guess you found out.

Look at you.

I'm fine. It's nothing serious.

I'm sorry I didn't know.

I was too distracted.

Don't be sorry.

People your age should be busy dating.

You guys looked good together.

That's not important right now.

How long were you going to hide this?
You should've told me.

There was nothing to tell you.
Even the doctor didn't know what I had.

I always get better
after getting an injection.

There's no illness without a cause.

I told the doctor
that we're going to a bigger hospital.

Don't you worry about a thing.

Let's just do as I say, okay?

I guess

you were pretty scared, Uncle.

How could I not be when you're sick?

You've lived so many lives.

You must've seen a lot of sick people.

Many must've died too.

But now I've made you worry.

I'm sorry, Uncle.

Cut the nonsense.

Just focus on getting better, okay?

Okay. I will.

So don't you worry.

It's normal to get sick
from time to time when you're old.

It's natural.

People come and go.

And I could return like you have.

No.

Don't leave.

Just stay here for now.

Don't go anywhere.

Just stay.

Stay by my side…

for as long as possible, Ae-gyeong.

You're late.

I had a present to give.

Though I don't know how helpful it'll be.

Ms. Kim…

is hospitalized.

-What?
-I saw it coming.

Perhaps…

this could make it easier to persuade her.

I should've just told Ju-won the truth.

This is something I have to do,

and something Ms. Ban needs to solve.

Seo-ha will also be okay
as long as everything works out.

She'll be pretty shocked.

You should just go on your way.

You don't need to…

remember your past lives anymore.

The life you wanted is right ahead of you,
so stop looking back.

Don't worry.

I finished seeing my first life.

What do I need to do now?

I'll tell you what to do.

And…

what comes afterward.

There's something afterward?

Yes.

I just arrived home.

I couldn't even say goodbye to you.

I'm sorry.

It must be tough for you.

Maybe I should've just stayed.

I can endure this much by myself.

Ji-eum.

Yes, Seo-ha?

When…

you feel like counting leaves,

just call me.

I don't know what to say to console you,

but I do know one thing.

Which is?

How terrifying it is…

when your beloved family is sick.

So…

just call me anytime.

I'll give you a hug

and keep you company.

Okay.

Don't skip meals. I'll call you again.

Don't go next time.

The hotel needs Yuhan Group.

And Chief Cheon Ga-hui
isn't too bad either.

I was there for work.

Even still,
I should be the one who attends.

All right then.

I didn't expect you to comply right away.

I suddenly didn't like the fact
that I was there.

That's good then.

Is Ms. Jang in?

You're going there?

I'm finishing things up.

STANDARD FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

What about this?

You're quite bold

for someone who has committed
one too many corrupt deeds.

The same goes for all other
conglomerate families.

I bet your father has committed
far more than I have.

This hotel is mine.

Do you know just how much
I've taken care of this place?

I thought you'd say that.

I took these on my first day here.

I'm afraid those photos

clearly show just how much

you haven't taken care of this hotel.

This hotel was neglected by the group
and I protected it for over 20 years.

Right.

This was…

my mother's notebook.

CONCLUSION
MEETING AGENDA

DAEHAN PUBLIC BANK
SINSEONG BANK

They're the slush funds that you swindled.

My mother knew

that you'd ultimately

bring down this hotel.

I admit to the poor management
of the hotel.

But I've climbed up here step by step
on the very stairs of this hotel.

This hotel could've been long gone
but I protected it.

You only protected your position.

The position you stole from a patient
by trampling on her every weakness.

Who do you think took care of your mom
when she was sick?

Her son was too young
and she wasn't close with her husband.

She would've rather died

than show her weakness to others
and guess who took care of her?

I never trampled on your mom.

I was envious of what she had.

And I worked hard to get it.

You just coveted
what she had and stole it.

You were a coward

who stole from someone who was sick.

You took advantage of my uncle

and threatened my father
for what you wanted.

I will be taking legal action
regarding this misconduct.

So save your energy

for the trial.

Are you done?

Where did you even get those documents
from more than 20 years ago?

It was a gift.

A gift?

IT'S A GIFT

You sure it wasn't you?

The documents I found
were from recent years.

I thought it was from you.

Then I would've said so and got a bonus.

Perhaps Chairman Mun…

-I doubt it.
-I doubt it.

Ms. Jang will try to convince
the board at all costs.

She'd rather die
than see me manage this hotel.

You already spoke with him, didn't you?

Let's go.

After all I've been through…

I won't sit still.

The board has all agreed

to dismiss you from your position.

Sir.

The police are waiting downstairs.

The elevators are under maintenance.

So you climbed up here
on the stairs of this hotel?

Climb them down as you leave.

Sir.

Please help me.

Sir…

Yeon-ok.

I think these are the prettiest.

Gladiolas.

Do you know what these flowers mean?

-Here you go.
-Thank you.

Goodbye.

Farewell, Seo-ha.

Who…

It's a gift.

Seo-ha, you must have been
a turtle in your past life.

Stop.

Stop what?

I told you to just sit still.

Why should I for goodness' sake?

Jeez, you never listen.

Come on. I'm fine when I'm not in pain.

Don't treat me like a kid.

You are a kid from today on, okay?

I'm going to take care of you
like Uncle Jung-ho did.

That's that.

Unbelievable.

You took off the scarf again.

It's so suffocating.

I told you to keep your neck warm
so you don't get a cold.

You used to get colds all the time
and have a runny nose.

Goodness. You never listened to me once.

AE-GYEONG'S BRAISED KIMCHI

Mr. Kang Min-gi.

Ae-gyeong needs to be hospitalized
for a few more days.

So the restaurant will be closed for now.

We might close it down for good.

I think you should look for
another place to stay.

I'm sorry it's so sudden.

It doesn't matter.

I wasn't planning on
staying for long anyway.

What did the doctor say?

They didn't know the reason
for her chest pain before.

So they couldn't diagnose her.

But they found a lump this time around.

They'll run some tests
and see if surgery will be necessary.

And?

Would that keep her alive?

We'll have to see, but…

What's with that attitude?

Ms. Kim…

won't get better with the surgery.

What do you think you're doing right now?

Why the hell would you say that?

Because I've seen it.

I've also experienced the consequences
of reuniting with those…

from my past lives.

Just get to the point.

If you were normal,

you wouldn't have looked for Ms. Kim
when you were little.

She wouldn't have known
that you used to be her uncle.

And that would've been natural.

Reconnecting with those from the past

will only cause problems.

And normally, the ones who suffer

are not us who remember our past lives,

but them.

So you're saying…

Ae-gyeong is sick
because I reunited with her?

Is that it?

It wouldn't have been as bad
if you were enemies in the past.

Because you would've had
something to resolve.

But fond connections are different.

You have to let those relationships go.

Do you expect me to believe this nonsense?

It doesn't matter!
I'm speaking from experience!

Can't you see?

If you continue on,

Ms. Kim could even die.

"Enemies"? "Fond connections"?

This is my 19th life.

I've reconnected with my past
multiple times.

And have you ever been with someone
for this long?

And lived like family members?

Can you even say…

that this life is a new life for you?

Aren't you just clinging onto
your past relationships?

Ms. Kim's not the only one, is she?

People from your past
whom you've reconnected with.

Those people…

will meet the same fate as Ms. Kim.

Who are you?

Who in the world are you?

I want you to find peace.

I want to help you.

You still have a chance.

A chance to stop remembering
your past lives.

You still do.

The answer is in your first life.

So you must remember everything.

If you can do that,

everything will be resolved.

AE-GYEONG'S BRAISED KIMCHI

There's only one way
to stop remembering your past lives

and save Ms. Kim.

Su.

Su.

It was Cho-won.

She was the one who called me.

Is Ji-eum here?

So we meet again.

Have we met before?

It seemed like it at the hospital too.

You wouldn't know even if I told you.

You could still tell me.

She's in her room.

Okay.

Seol.

I need to save her.

I must save her.

Ji-eum.

Are you okay?

A person is dying before you!

So how could the heavens
or rituals be more important?

Ji-eum.

What use are the heavens…

if there are no people to worship them?

Seol…

Seol…

-What do I do…
-You're okay.

-You're okay, Ji-eum.
-No…

Seol!

It's okay.

I'll kill you.

I'll kill you.

I'll kill you.

I'll kill you.

Ji-eum.

I'll kill you.

-Ji-eum.
-I'll kill you!

I'll kill you!

I'll kill you!

Subtitle translation by: Soo-ji Kim

SEE YOU IN MY 19TH LIFE

Do you also know about past lives?

I'm in Ms. Ban's first life that she saw.

And so are you.

It'll be even harder for me
to get close to him.

What do I do now?

Stop mulling things over.

Don't be scared and just do it.

If Cho-won really lets you go
for the last time,

it'll be you
who won't be able to let her go.

Please help Ms. Ban

become normal.

I'll be by your side
no matter what choice you make.
