See You in My 19th Life (2023–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - Casting One's Fate Unto the Dice - full transcript

SEE YOU IN MY 19TH LIFE

During the Japanese invasion,

I ran endlessly
after losing my baby.

After running for a long time,

I ended up focused
solely on my breathing.

And I thought of something as I stood
at a white buckwheat flower field.

"These hard times
are bound to pass."

"And…

I will eventually
arrive somewhere

and be able to
continue living again."

CASTING ONE'S
FATE UNTO THE DICE



You must find the relationships

you remember
from your first life.

WEBTOON ORIGINAL SERIES
SEE YOU IN MY 19TH LIFE CREATED BY LEE HEY

Director Mun.

Sir.

What is it?

They'll be concluding
it as suicide.

Chairman Mun still owes a lot
to Chan-hyeok and me.

Just know that
you're the only one

that I go easy on.

CHAIRMAN MUN

Hello, sir.

I didn't expect you
to call at this hour.

Yes, sir.



He's asking for you.
Is your phone dead?

Here, talk to him.

Hello, sir.

Understood, sir.

What did he say?

He wants to have
a breakfast meeting tomorrow.

What is it about that
he even had to call me to find you?

He probably knew
that you called me in

since things with
Seo-ha got complicated.

Whatever.

I'm leaving.

You want me to drink alone?

You must know

why I suddenly called you over.

I heard you were with Seo-ha

during the incident.

Yes, sir.

If you truly cared about Seo-ha,

you should've stopped him
from putting himself in danger.

Are you hiding something?

- What?
- Your son almost died when he was little,

and he got hurt today.

Of all people,

I thought you as his father
would be most eager to catch the culprit.

I'll leave that to the police.

I am
protecting him as his father.

I just need you to be quiet.

Keeping my mouth shut
is your way of protecting your son?

Do you perhaps
know who the culprit is?

I can't talk any sense into you.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

You may go.

That hit-and-run driver?

I recruited him.

- Hey, something's wrong.
- What?

Take this

- and run.
- I'm not leaving you behind.

It's okay. Just go.

Hurry.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Gosh, that's nice.

All right.

Let me feed you first.

Okay.

Look at you eating so well.

- It's good.
- Is it?

Yes.

Min-gi.

I don't know
why you're always out and busy.

But make sure you
don't skip any meals.

Okay?

- Okay.
- And let me know if you crave anything.

I will.

Let me feed you once more.

- Here.
- I'm still chewing.

- Are you?
- Please eat.

- Is it too much? Here.
- Yes.

Is he your long-lost
son or something?

You came just in time.
Come eat while it's still hot.

Sit down.

It's okay. I'm too tired.

You're tired?

You should still eat.

Here.

What is this?

I was just passing by
and thought it'd suit you.

Goodness.

Is this for me?

My goodness. Let me see.

Goodness, gracious.

I love mustard.

My, it's so pretty.

You're always in my heart.

And you're in mine.

- Goodness.
- It suits you.

- Really?
- Yes.

- It suits me?
- It does.

Unbelievable.

- Min-gi, can I have a word with you?
- It's so pretty.

Let me borrow him for a minute.

You should eat first.

They've gotten closer.

Gosh, this is gorgeous.

I remembered my first life.

Actually, I saw it.

Was it because of
the shaman bells?

Please elaborate.

I was in an unfamiliar place.

I was looking at
someone from behind.

And my memory
overlapped with him.

There were many people.

And I recognized one of them.

Who was it?

Someone very
dear to me in this life.

Mr. Kang.

Was it really a coincidence

that you came here to work?

Were you a part of

my first life?

Why aren't you answering me?

Were we…

lovers a thousand years ago?

Of course not.

Is that so?

I thought we were each other's
first love or something.

Wait.

Try touching the bells again.

Then maybe you'll remember.

Could it be that Seo-ha and
I met in my first life?

Grab them again.

It's okay. That
was enough.

I should get going.

Hello, Master Cheon-un.

Our boss didn't commit suicide.

He said the
evidence is in this bag.

At times, an enemy from your past life
becomes your family in the present.

In that case, it's
best to just cut ties with them.

That's so heartless.

It's not heartless.

It's serious.

Life is serious.

RÉSUMÉ
NAME: BAN JI-EUM

- "Ban Ji-eum."
- Give that to me.

Who is this?

- Give me my phone.
- "MI Hotel Director Mun Seo-ha."

What's it to you?

- MI…
- Come on!

Give it to me!

How dare you?

Hello?

Where are you?

I'm about to go to bed.

Come on. I can
hear the crickets.

Are you outside?

I couldn't sleep,
so I'm out for some fresh air.

I should've tucked you in.

What a shame.

Do that thing you're good at.

Director Mun.

If we

ever met in our past lives,

what relationship
do you think we would have had?

I'm not sure.

Try to imagine it.

What do you think
we would have been

if we had met a
thousand years ago?

A general and his pony.

"Pony"?

You'd be the general,
and I would be the pony.

You really don't know
how to be romantic, do you?

Okay, hear me out.

A man and a woman
are standing face to face on a bridge

while fireworks surround them.

The man is as handsome
as the bright moon.

While the woman is as beautiful
as a lotus in full bloom.

That's when we
meet for the first time

and fall in love.

What do you think?

Keep going.

We loved each
other passionately.

But we were sadly killed
after we were framed for being traitors.

So we've met again in this life

to fulfill our love
that was cut short.

That's intriguing.

I wonder if past lives

really do exist.

I bet they do.

I bet lovers like us are only destined
to meet every thousand years.

In that case,

what'll happen to us now?

There must be a reason
why we crossed paths again.

What do you think it is?

I'd rather there…

not be a reason.

Why not?

I just don't want
there to be one.

All right then.

Let's just say

that we're destined
to love each other for no reason.

We'll be in love
like everyone else,

then break free
from the reincarnation cycle.

Our souls will then become one,

and we'll find peace.

Can you repeat…

the last part again?

Our souls will become one,

and we'll find peace.

Dad is back.

Looks like he wants
to ask you for money.

They're just unbelievable.

RÉSUMÉ
NAME: BAN JI-EUM

Hello, sir.

Good morning.

What's wrong with him?

Director Mun is acting strange.

What do you
mean? He seems fine.

He looks too clean-cut today.

Isn't he always clean-cut?

No, he's way too clean-cut.

Mr. Ha, did something happen
on your way here?

No.

Director Mun is
always clean-cut.

There's nothing to worry about.

This is Ban Ji-eum
from the Strategic Planning Team.

I'm in the hotel lobby.

Why aren't you answering my...

Your father is over there.

Ji-eum! Over here!

I'm sorry.

Mr. Ban Hak-su, what
are you doing here?

What? "Ban Hak-su"?

How dare you
address me like that?

You brat.

What kind of daughter
calls her father by his full name?

How dare you?

Lower your voice
and talk straight.

You know very well

that your brother
is living by himself.

You should clean his house
and cook for him.

His place is a complete mess!

How are you so selfish?

Just get to the point and leave.

His place was so tiny.

Get your father a room here.

Cut the nonsense and leave
before I kick you out.

What? Kick me out?

You brazen little…

I heard that you're dating
the hotel director!

Yet you can't get me a room?

Why you little...

Goodness! Look
at her, everyone!

Let me go!
I'm not leaving!

Are you walking down a runway?

You look like a model.

That must have been tough.

What do you mean?

Whatever happened, you did well.

Is something
wrong, Director Mun?

You're being odd today.

So much…

has happened to us.

I'm also trying to change.

That's good then.

I'll cook you dinner tonight.

Let's leave work together.

Okay.

It's so nice to be out
working with you, Mr. Ha.

They look so lovely together.

Mr. Ha.

I've been thinking,

and I'm going to keep liking you
even if we don't date.

Ms. Yoon.

I just want you to know
how I feel about you.

I know those trees.

Do you know the story?

You see how those
two trees are entwined?

They say if you promise love
under those trees,

you'll meet each
other in your next life.

I really wanted to
see them with you.

I wasn't trying to
punch you. It's a ring.

I mean, it's a flower.

Why are you giving it to me?

I'm expressing my love.

I made it with the prettiest flower
I could find in the garden this morning.

This is my love for the day.

Come in.

Are you Ms. Jang Yeon-ok?

I am.

Flower delivery.

Who are they from?

I'm only delivering them.

These were my favorite
flowers. Do you remember?

These again?

I think these are the prettiest.

Gladiolas.

- Aren't they pretty?
- They are.

Yeon-ok.

Do you know what
these flowers mean?

No, I don't.

That man you saw earlier
today was my dad.

They say you can endure anyone

if you have at least
one good memory of that person.

But I have

no good memories of that man.

Where's the money?

- Get me money!
- I never went to bed in peace.

Please, just…

And I woke up feeling
sad every morning.

STARQUEEN BAN JI-EUM

GIRL-OF-ALL-TRADES BAN JI-EUM
LET'S GO!

I tried to endure it
despite being miserable.

But I eventually
ran away from home.

My aunt whom I'm
living with right now

took me in when I
had nowhere to go.

Open up.

- We're not related.
- Gosh.

But she always
asks me if I slept well,

and takes care of
me when I'm sick.

CONGRATULATIONS

She's more ecstatic than I am

when I have good news.

Goodness, she's
all grown up now.

That's what you
call a true family.

I'm just saying.

I just…

felt like telling you that.

Don't worry.

I don't have
that great of a father either.

Let's just

put our families aside.

I decided…

to only think about us two.

Thank you so much.

What is it?

Is it that tasty?

Why is it not good?

Why isn't it tasty
when it looks so good?

You're awfully blatant.

Aren't you supposed to
pretend like it's good?

I'm just
kidding. It's good.

That was delicious.

Go upstairs first.
I'll bring some fruit and tea.

Okay.

Then I'll wait upstairs.

Okay.

The general and his pony.

Let's just

put our families aside.

I decided

to only think about us two.

That was random.

Let me stay like this…

just for a while.

Where's Father?

He's here with me.

He's driving me crazy.

Make sure he stays there.

Wait outside for a minute.

What the…

Sit up.

You impudent little…

Shut it.

And sit up.

Mr. Ban Hak-su.

Have you ever committed murder?

I asked if you have
ever killed anyone.

Answer me.

The dump truck accident
on April 23, 1998.

Does it ring a bell?

Tell me everything.

And don't even bother
coming up with excuses.

WORK REQUEST FORM

So all I need to do

is be on standby
and then hit the car?

What's with all the questions?
You don't want it?

- Should I ask someone else?
- No, sir.

I just can't believe
that you're letting go of all my debt

for such a simple task.

Goodness.

That was just

a side job I took to
support the family.

"A side job"?

A side job killing someone?

I don't know what you heard,

but I wasn't
meaning to kill anyone.

It was a minor collision.
That's what it was.

Two people were killed,
and a young boy was severely injured!

It's all in the past.

Aren't you dating
the MI Group chairman's son?

You should keep this covered up
for your sake as well.

Bringing this up
won't do you any good.

They were the ones

- who were unlucky!
- Father!

Let me say

just one thing
for your own good.

It's best that you
turn a blind eye to it.

Shut your mouth.

You're not human.

Ban Hak-su.

This is the last time

we'll see each
other in this lifetime.

I hope I won't see you
in the afterlife either.

The brakes were malfunctioning!

What's wrong with this?

Help.

Help.

Help.

Ban Ji-eum.

You should go.

The number you have dialed
cannot be reached...

APRIL 8,1998

I heard someone from MI Group
made the order.

Does anyone come to mind?

From within the group?

Yes, one person.

Someone who would've considered Seo-ha
an eyesore after I died.

Someone who could
easily take everything with him gone.

Ms. Jang Yeon-ok?

Let's check if it's her.

I know where she is.

Ma'am, your swing
has improved a lot.

The lessons paid off.

You startled me.

What brings you here?

I wanted to ask you something.

And what could that be?

It's about the accident
Director Mun was in when he was young.

What about it?

I thought…

that you might be
behind the accident, Ms. Jang.

Not too long ago,

Chairman Mun even offered me money
to keep my mouth shut.

Are you sure about that?

Chairman Mun offered you money?

You must be happy
that he has your back.

His son almost died,

yet he shut your mouth
just to protect me?

He's unbelievable.

How touching.

Quite romantic, don't you think?

Cho Yeong-cheol,
7.5 million.

Due March 21.

Kim Chang-sik, five million.

Due March 12.

Oh Il-yong, nine million.

Due March 15.

Ban Hak-su, seven million.

Due March 25.

You see,

I don't do anything
that would displease the chairman.

Why?

Because I need to live.

So it wasn't you.

Then who could it be?

Who are you?

Are any of your debtors

truck drivers?

Why do you ask?

I need a driver.

This voice…

I need a driver.

A lowlife would be best.

Uncle?

Someone the chairman
wants to keep covered up.

Someone that Seo-ha
should never find out about.

His name is Ban Hak-su.

He drives a dump truck.

How much does he owe you?

He owes me about 14 million.
That's 7 million plus interest.

I'll pay you 40 million.

In return for
letting go of his debt,

I need him to cause
a minor collision.

Don't you work for Director Mun?

What brings you here?

What's going on?

This is getting complicated.

What kind of minor collision
might you be referring to?

Why would Uncle…

It can't be.

Why would he…

In return for
letting go of his debt,

I need him to cause
a minor collision.

In return for
letting go of his debt,

I need him to cause
a minor collision.

How…

How could he?

Are any of your debtors

truck drivers?

I'll pay you 40 million.

I need him to cause
a minor collision.

Why did you do it?

Why would you do that to me?

Why?

Why?

Ju-won died while
she was with Seo-ha.

- Ju-won.
- I'm not going to die.

My father simply
passed away…

while working
like any other day.

Seo-ha.

Look what happened
to your handsome face.

Please go.

I don't want you
to see me like this.

Back then…

I should've been the one to die.

But because of me…

people who were
supposed to be loved…

died instead.

So…

I'm not allowed to be happy.

Director Mun, it's all right.

But I'm overwhelmed
by the thought of those

who were hurt by the accident.

Seo-ha.

Would this help
alleviate your guilt?

I have something to tell you.

This piece was composed
during the Japanese occupation period.

It's about someone yearning
for their loved one.

But no one knows
the identity of the composer.

Then how do you know this piece?

How do you know that piece?

Because I'm the one…

who composed it.

Because I'm the
one who composed it.

Play it when you miss someone.

Play it when you miss someone.

- You'll feel much better.
- You'll feel much better.

Ju-won said that, right?

How do you know that?

Because I was Yoon Ju-won.

SEE YOU IN MY 19TH LIFE

I revealed to Seo-ha
that I was Ju-won.

Past lives?

What are you talking about?

You and I see eye to
eye on these matters.

I have something I
want to say to Seo-ha.

Not as Ban Ji-eum,
but as Yoon Ju-won.

You have to let
those relationships go.

Hey you! Let go of him!

Stop.

Would that person
who remembers their 18 lives

be able to enjoy life
together with the kid?
