MY 6TH LIFE
There was a time when I lived
in a serene and beautiful place.
"Would I ever meet others
who can remember their past lives?"
Rather…
"Would I ever meet anyone
who would believe me?"
I often thought
as I stared into the night sky.
How do you
know that piece?
Because I'm the one…
who composed it.
Play it when you miss someone.
You'll feel much better.
Ju-won said that, right?
How do you know that?
Because I was Yoon Ju-won.
I know it's hard to believe.
But that's just the truth.
I get that you want to comfort me.
But I'll pretend you never said that.
So please leave.
Director Mun.
What I'm trying to say
has to do with a miracle.
The miracle that
the Yoon Ju-won of the past
still exists
and will exist in the future as well.
Do you remember
The Moon and the West Witch's Forest?
It was 12-year-old Ju-won's favorite book.
What are you reading?
The Moon and the West Witch's Forest.
What's it about?
It's a story about an immortal witch
who finds true love.
Why is she immortal?
She doesn't know either.
And that pains her.
Why would that be painful?
Wouldn't being immortal be great?
Not necessarily.
It wasn't that the witch was immortal.
She just
remembered her past lives
whenever she was born again.
Past lives?
What are you talking about?
You'll know soon enough.
The key to the jewelry box
that Ju-won gave Seo-ha for his birthday
is in that book.
When you find the key and open the box,
read this note.
Don't get the order wrong.
Open the jewelry box first,
then read the note last.
Okay?
I'll be waiting, Seo-ha.
How do I open this?
I hid the key.
At the amusement park?
I didn't put in that much work.
I'll tell you where it is
if you're a good boy today.
You always do this.
Don't get the order wrong.
Open the jewelry box first,
then read the note last.
Knock, knock.
Oh, you got here quick.
You're not done yet?
No, I'm done.
Let's sit here.
-Have a seat.
-Okay.
So what's the matter?
I revealed to Seo-ha
that I was Ju-won.
Really?
Did he believe you?
He'll need some time.
What if he never believes you?
Then perhaps he might leave me.
I hope he comes around to the truth.
But I'm prepared for the worst.
But why all of a sudden?
Didn't you want to hide it?
I have something I want to say to Seo-ha.
Not as Ban Ji-eum
but as Yoon Ju-won.
Well, I'm glad you came back.
But how does it feel
to remember your past lives?
Across my many lives,
I've experienced many things
and met a lot of people.
Mom! It's me, Hae-wol!
Mom!
I've lost a lot of people as well.
Seo-ha.
For me,
every day is a birthday
or a death anniversary
of someone I loved in the past.
I can see that.
It must've been tough for you.
You get numb to it
when it happens often enough.
At some point,
I stopped hoping for things.
I would think,
"This life will pass as well."
"I guess I died and was born again."
That's how I'd feel.
One thing saddened me though.
It was that I had no one to share
my good or bad memories with.
Everyone either died or disappeared,
and no one recognized me.
But today,
I feel better because of you.
You crybaby.
No, I'm not.
YOU'RE BOUND TO MEET
SOMEONE YOU'VE PARTED WITH
It wasn't that the witch was immortal.
She just
remembered her past lives
whenever she was born again.
This isn't my first go at life.
Because I was Yoon Ju-won.
Ms. Ban.
Seo-ha.
I'm sorry.
Seo-ha.
Are any of your debtors truck drivers?
Seo-ha.
Ju-won.
What did she say?
Someone died
and Director Mun was present at the scene.
A slight misstep here,
and news of that accident will come out.
That's enough of this from you.
Seo-ha's been asking around everywhere,
leaving Director Lee quite anxious.
He might be overtaken with guilt
and confess to Seo-ha that it was him.
This is a crisis for you, Chairman Mun.
Which makes it an opportunity for me.
As always,
I'll take care of it.
You and I…
see eye to eye on these matters.
My goodness.
Why is that here?
Are you serious, Mr. Kang?
You left something in my room.
Oh, that.
"Oh, that"?
I almost had a heart attack because of it.
Did you touch it?
I almost did.
You were so desperate to touch it before.
Aren't you curious
about your first life?
Well…
I was curious.
Not so much now.
What's the matter?
Is something more pressing?
No, there's something more precious.
I'm going to focus on that.
My first life
means nothing to me right now.
It's not important at all.
I see.
Then Mr. Kang Min-gi,
good night.
So it means nothing.
Do you know what past lives are?
This isn't my first go at life.
"The Moon and the West Witch's Forest."
"The Moon…"
My childhood books
were probably moved up there.
THE MOON AND THE WEST WITCH'S FOREST
There it is.
There really is a key.
The key to the jewelry box
that Ju-won gave Seo-ha for his birthday
is in that book.
Welcome, sir.
The chairman is waiting for you.
Thank you. Is he on the second floor?
Yes, this way.
It's okay. I'll be fine on my own.
Seo-ha.
What brings you back home?
Did your father call for you?
No.
I had to check on something.
You didn't answer my call yesterday.
So I assumed you were busy.
You punk.
Did you meet your father?
Why don't we all have a meal together?
I have to go to work.
I see.
Your face doesn't look so good.
You're not sick, are you?
Let me know right away
when you're not feeling well.
I've cared for your mother for so long
that I'm basically a doctor.
Why are you just standing there?
Well, I saw that Seo-ha was here.
So I was about to
invite him to eat with us.
Do you guys have anything
you need to tell me?
Is this about the company?
I don't think so.
-Then leave.
-Father.
-Seo-ha.
-Stay out of this.
We need to talk.
Ms. Ban.
Ms. Yoon.
You've prepared so much.
Were you up all night doing this?
Can you tell?
Just a bit.
Where's Seo-ha?
He's not here yet.
He didn't even come to work today.
It'll take him some time to accept it.
Are you nervous?
Can you tell?
Just a bit.
Hey, Do-jin.
-Do-jin!
-What?
-Did they all leave without you?
-I don't know.
Get up.
Oh, come on.
Hurry and get up.
Stand up straight.
My legs won't cooperate.
They're moving on their own.
Why do you have to be so big?
Get it together.
Get it together, Do-jin.
When did you become so small?
When I worked my butt off
taking care of you.
Do-yun.
I want ice cream!
-Hey.
-Buy me ice cream!
-Be quiet.
-Buy me some.
I will if you quiet down.
-Come on, buy me some.
-Hey.
-Buy me ice cream!
-Let go.
-Come on.
-You're dead if you don't let go.
-I want some.
-Hey.
-Buy me some!
-Why you…
-Stop it. Hey.
-I want some.
-Buy me some!
-I'm warning you.
-Please buy me ice cream.
-You…
-Let go first.
-Come on!
Let go of him!
Hey you!
Let go of him!
I said let go!
Hold on for a minute.
Are you okay?
Who is this guy?
-He's my brother.
-What?
Oh, my. Your brother?
Oh, my goodness.
I'm so sorry.
That must have hurt.
I thought he was a drunkard.
It's all right.
I would have hit him anyway.
Who are you anyway?
I work with Mr. Ha at--
Hey, get up.
I don't want to!
Give me a piggyback ride then!
You two are nothing alike.
I guess you have similar eyes.
What if he really was a drunkard?
Why would you do that for me?
I just can't help myself.
You're blinded by love.
I know.
I guess you didn't drink a lot
at that work dinner you mentioned earlier.
I held back today.
Did you just worry about me?
Ms. Yoon.
We have to stop talking about that.
-But Mr. Ha…
-As I've told you before,
I have absolutely no intention
of being in a relationship with you.
But you like me, don't you?
Not everyone who likes each other dates.
But I will apologize.
I acted in a way that confused you
and kept your hopes up.
I sincerely apologize.
I know what you're worried about.
I really do.
But we can overcome it.
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
and drag me down like I'm nothing.
I'm used to it.
But that doesn't mean I'm fine with it.
I endure it because I chose this.
You said we could overcome it.
I know you're an independent
and open-minded person.
But I don't want to do that.
I don't have the leisure
to even think about that.
This is why I didn't want to tell you.
I was afraid
we would both be hurt.
So…
let's stop doing this.
Please.
Do you want to go to the amusement park
with me on your birthday?
I brought Mom too.
Let's have fun together, the three of us.
Okay.
What do you want to ride first?
The merry-go-round.
What about you?
The haunted house?
Sorry.
I should call it a day.
Good night, Seo-ha.
Seo-ha.
Seo-ha.
Seo-ha.
Seo-ha.
You called me a witch.
Well, this is a story about a witch…
No, a story about a person.
Did Ju-won write this?
There is a person who vividly remembers
all their past lives.
Their first memory was of sounds.
The sound of the waves,
the sound of the wind,
and the sound of bells.
Their second memory was of their mother.
Her fragrant smell,
her soft touch,
and her warm embrace.
The person was born again
and went back to their mother
from their memory,
but no one understood them.
They realized then.
That they would never be welcome anywhere.
In one life, they were a dancer
and wrote songs.
In one life, they lost a lover.
In another, they lost a child.
They remembered everything
but had no one to confide in.
Several lives passed that way.
Countless people from past relationships
were afraid of the person.
And that person was tired of being hurt.
Every time the next life came,
then the next,
it felt like more and more rocks
weighed her heart down.
"Next life"?
Seo-ha.
Ju-won.
-In my next life.
-"In my next life."
I want to remember you
in my next life.
I'll…
come back to see you.
The protagonist of this book
is Yoon Ju-won,
now known as Ban Ji-eum.
Yoon Ju-won?
Ban Ji-eum?
If you believe what you've read,
come to the place we couldn't go
on the day I gave you the jewelry box.
I'll be waiting for you there.
DIRECTOR MUN SEO-HA
Come check for yourself, Seo-ha.
The number you have dialed--
Wasn't she here yesterday too?
She was.
Is she waiting for someone?
When their 18th life began,
the person met a kid.
It was strange.
When they were with him,
it felt as if the rocks weighing
on their heart were lifted.
There was nothing special about him.
So how did he lighten their heart so much?
Help!
The person forgot
their past lives for a moment
and enjoyed life like a 12-year-old.
Would that person
who remembers their 18 lives
be able to enjoy life
together with the kid?
Do you like me?
I'll answer that on your birthday.
You see,
being confessed to on one's birthday
is a memorable event.
I like you.
I'll be by your side
whenever you need help.
Everything's all right.
I'll stay by your side.
Because that's why I was reborn this time.
Am I really that strange?
What part of that person
did you like so much?
You're my first love.
This is something that I've decided
after years of pondering.
What I'm trying to say
has to do with a miracle.
The miracle that
the Yoon Ju-won of the past
still exists
and will exist in the future as well.
You're here.
You should have picked up
if you were here.
I didn't know that…
You went to the haunted house, didn't you?
This is what Seo-ha wanted to ride,
so you should have come straight here.
What if I hadn't seen your note?
If not today, then tomorrow.
And even if not tomorrow,
I would have kept waiting.
I could've thrown your note away.
But you didn't.
Are you really Ju-won?
I wanted to see you again.
Every time I died
I used to say the same prayer.
I prayed that I wouldn't remember anything
in the next life.
But that time,
I didn't want that.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
It was all because of me.
Don't cry.
I wish you would be happy, Seo-ha.
I have to tell you this.
Yoon Ju-won and Ban Ji-eum…
both wish that you would be very happy.
Okay?
Seo-ha and Ju-won…
They're more deeply in love
than we thought.
At this rate,
Seo-ha will also have problems.
You know that the problem will only end
if we become normal.
They should know before it's too late.
Let's each do what we can…
while there's still a chance.
So…
what do I call you now?
I'll keep calling you Director Mun.
And yet you're speaking casually to me.
You're right.
Even just now.
Let's just speak to each other naturally
without overthinking it.
Sure, sounds good.
It's so pretty.
I was afraid that if I told you,
I wouldn't be able to see you again.
You said it yourself.
That you wouldn't see Ju-won
if she came back.
She met an unfortunate end while with me.
So I was anxious.
Even now?
It's all right.
I was in the past,
I'm in the present,
and I'll be in the future as well.
Okay?
When did you have the time
to make bean paste stew?
You're such a great brother.
Thank you for the food.
Are you okay?
Is it bland?
It's too salty.
You haven't lost your sense of taste
or something, have you?
You're right.
Hold on. I'll pour some water in.
Hello?
Why won't you answer your phone?
What is it now?
You're coming to the gathering, right?
They're disappointed you keep bailing.
Well, I'm a bit busy.
Ga-hui's handing out wedding invitations.
Make sure to come.
Wedding invitations?
Ae-gyeong, I'm off to work.
Uncle.
Come here before you leave.
-Why?
-Just come.
Ta-da!
Goodness, what's this?
I was so happy
with the clothes you bought me,
so I got one too.
-Yours?
-No, yours.
-Mine?
-Yes.
Look at you, Ae-gyeong.
Everything's good with Seo-ha, right?
I bought this to celebrate that too.
-Shall I open it?
-Yes.
The color's so beautiful.
Is it? Try it on.
-Oh, it's so soft.
-Gosh.
Let me try it on.
Go on.
Here we go.
My goodness, it looks better on you
than on the mannequin.
With this on,
only good things will happen to you.
Right.
Everything will come up roses
with Seo-ha, Cho-won,
and you.
Oh, my goodness.
I'm happy just imagining it.
Thank you, Ae-gyeong.
Just a moment.
Yes, ma'am?
Sure.
Working up a sweat has made me thirsty.
I'd like a cold drink.
What is it today?
After accusing the innocent of murder,
what nonsense will you spout now?
Can you even afford a lawyer if I sue you?
Have a cold drink on me.
Drink it and get lost.
Give her one too.
Yeon-ok.
You've aged so much.
"Yeon-ok"?
You've gone mad.
You were so youthful
when you were my tutor.
Did you have fun with my husband?
Do you enjoy
running my hotel?
When Sang-hyuck brought you in
and I first saw you,
you were so bright and intelligent.
You really should have done better
with what you stole from me.
Look what happened to you.
You've got nothing to your name,
neither my husband nor the company.
What are you doing?
You shouldn't have used my son
in your blackmailing at the very least.
You're a mom too.
Who are you?
Ms. Lee Sang-a asked me
to deliver this message.
She wandered the netherworld angry at you
and missed her time to leave.
She's been watching you all along.
She's probably watching now as well.
Ms. Jang,
apologize to Director Mun sincerely.
Then I'll try to change Ms. Lee's mind.
If you don't,
she said she would
haunt you forever.
All right?
How pitiful.
Was that satisfying enough?
A bit.
Seo-ha will do the rest.
That's right.
It's time for me to go now.
I'll keep in touch, ma'am.
No.
I'll be busy.
I have a very important thing to do.
Ju-won.
I hope you can cross over
safely on your own,
from here to there.
What do you mean?
People like us are fortunate
to have been able to get along
with people from past lives.
But still…
when you're born again,
you should forge new relationships.
You'll come to understand.
I trust you'll make a wise choice then.
KANG MIN-GI
Is this the place
with the pond and fireworks
you were talking about?
MUJINJEONG POND WATER FIREWORKS
It really exists.
Why didn't I know about this place?
You're here early.
Why are you alone? Where's Director Mun?
He's stopping by his family house
to see the chairman.
Seo-ha.
You were here.
I was about to go and see you.
Where's Father?
He said he had an early meeting,
so he left.
Why did you do it?
I just can't fathom why.
Why did you try to kill me?
I don't know if you'll ever believe me,
but I was never trying to kill you.
It was a mistake.
I had no idea
you would be in that car that day.
Then…
were you trying to kill Father?
But why?
I had gone mad.
What do you mean?
What are you talking about?
I hated…
seeing Yeon-ok so close to your father.
I hated your father
for neglecting your mother
and only caring about the company.
I also couldn't bear to see…
Yeon-ok still wanting
to stick with your father.
But I never wanted to kill him, Seo-ha.
Please believe me.
It was a mistake.
It was an accident.
The car accident from 24 years ago
and the incident
with Mr. Bang of Wonjo Capital…
Turn yourself in and confess to it all.
I won't allow you much time.
If you don't act…
I will.
Director Lee of MI Group
has turned himself in to the police.
His past criminal activities
have caused significant impacts.
In 1998,
Director Lee had instigated
Wonjo Capital's Mr. Bang
and ordered a hit-and-run
on one of Chairman Mun's vehicles.
Chairman Mun's only son
and Director Lee's nephew,
Managing Director Mun of MI Hotel,
was heavily injured in the accident.
Meanwhile, Ms. Yoon,
a 12-year-old passenger,
and the driver, Mr. Ha, had passed away.
In a shocking turn of events,
the recently discovered body in Hasan-ri
was found to be a victim
of Director Lee's attempt
to cover up his past criminal activities.
With the criminal motives
still in question,
MI Group has put a gag order
regarding the case.
As a prominent company in the country,
it seems that MI Group will be stunned
by this hit to its reputation.
You were worried about me again,
weren't you?
No, why would I be?
You got your head in the game
and finished the race.
I'm waiting so I can hug you
and tell you, "Well done, Seo-ha."
"Thank you, Seo-ha."
Hello?
Director Mun?
Seo-ha?
I'm all right.
You don't have to worry about me.
See you at the office.
He sounds a bit down.
I'll have to cheer him up.
How will you do that?
You startled me.
Are you going to
hold my hand and run again?
No.
I was a flamenco dancer
in one of my past lives.
So that was a different past life?
Everyone has past lives.
They just don't remember.
You have a past life too.
How would you know that?
I saw it.
My past life?
No way.
Are you trying to be funny?
Do you want to check?
I was about to head somewhere.
Do you want to come with me
on an overnight trip?
Sure.
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.
MUJINJEONG POND WATER FIREWORKS
It was somewhere around here.
Subtitle translation by: Ji-hun Lee
SEE YOU IN MY 19TH LIFE
I'm older than you.
Are you really the man
from a thousand years ago?
So this place can show me my past life?
All right then.
Let's go see your past life.
I suddenly didn't like the fact…
Mr. Ha.
…that I was there.
I never trampled on your mom.
You just coveted
what she had and stole it.
You were a coward
who stole from someone who was sick.
People from your past
whom you've reconnected with.
Those people
will meet the same fate as Ms. Kim.
Who are you?

EVENTS, ORGANIZATIONS,
AND PROFESSIONS APPEARING
IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS
MY 6TH LIFE
There was a time when I lived
in a serene and beautiful place.
"Would I ever meet others
who can remember their past lives?"
Rather…
"Would I ever meet anyone
who would believe me?"
I often thought
as I stared into the night sky.
How do you
know that piece?
Because I'm the one…
who composed it.
Play it when you miss someone.
You'll feel much better.
Ju-won said that, right?
How do you know that?
Because I was Yoon Ju-won.
I know it's hard to believe.
But that's just the truth.
I get that you want to comfort me.
But I'll pretend you never said that.
So please leave.
Director Mun.
What I'm trying to say
has to do with a miracle.
The miracle that
the Yoon Ju-won of the past
still exists
and will exist in the future as well.
Do you remember
The Moon and the West Witch's Forest?
It was 12-year-old Ju-won's favorite book.
What are you reading?
The Moon and the West Witch's Forest.
What's it about?
It's a story about an immortal witch
who finds true love.
Why is she immortal?
She doesn't know either.
And that pains her.
Why would that be painful?
Wouldn't being immortal be great?
Not necessarily.
It wasn't that the witch was immortal.
She just
remembered her past lives
whenever she was born again.
Past lives?
What are you talking about?
You'll know soon enough.
The key to the jewelry box
that Ju-won gave Seo-ha for his birthday
is in that book.
When you find the key and open the box,
read this note.
Don't get the order wrong.
Open the jewelry box first,
then read the note last.
Okay?
I'll be waiting, Seo-ha.
How do I open this?
I hid the key.
At the amusement park?
I didn't put in that much work.
I'll tell you where it is
if you're a good boy today.
You always do this.
Don't get the order wrong.
Open the jewelry box first,
then read the note last.
Knock, knock.
Oh, you got here quick.
You're not done yet?
No, I'm done.
Let's sit here.
-Have a seat.
-Okay.
So what's the matter?
I revealed to Seo-ha
that I was Ju-won.
Really?
Did he believe you?
He'll need some time.
What if he never believes you?
Then perhaps he might leave me.
I hope he comes around to the truth.
But I'm prepared for the worst.
But why all of a sudden?
Didn't you want to hide it?
I have something I want to say to Seo-ha.
Not as Ban Ji-eum
but as Yoon Ju-won.
Well, I'm glad you came back.
But how does it feel
to remember your past lives?
Across my many lives,
I've experienced many things
and met a lot of people.
Mom! It's me, Hae-wol!
Mom!
I've lost a lot of people as well.
Seo-ha.
For me,
every day is a birthday
or a death anniversary
of someone I loved in the past.
I can see that.
It must've been tough for you.
You get numb to it
when it happens often enough.
At some point,
I stopped hoping for things.
I would think,
"This life will pass as well."
"I guess I died and was born again."
That's how I'd feel.
One thing saddened me though.
It was that I had no one to share
my good or bad memories with.
Everyone either died or disappeared,
and no one recognized me.
But today,
I feel better because of you.
You crybaby.
No, I'm not.
YOU'RE BOUND TO MEET
SOMEONE YOU'VE PARTED WITH
It wasn't that the witch was immortal.
She just
remembered her past lives
whenever she was born again.
This isn't my first go at life.
Because I was Yoon Ju-won.
Ms. Ban.
Seo-ha.
I'm sorry.
Seo-ha.
Are any of your debtors truck drivers?
Seo-ha.
Ju-won.
What did she say?
Someone died
and Director Mun was present at the scene.
A slight misstep here,
and news of that accident will come out.
That's enough of this from you.
Seo-ha's been asking around everywhere,
leaving Director Lee quite anxious.
He might be overtaken with guilt
and confess to Seo-ha that it was him.
This is a crisis for you, Chairman Mun.
Which makes it an opportunity for me.
As always,
I'll take care of it.
You and I…
see eye to eye on these matters.
My goodness.
Why is that here?
Are you serious, Mr. Kang?
You left something in my room.
Oh, that.
"Oh, that"?
I almost had a heart attack because of it.
Did you touch it?
I almost did.
You were so desperate to touch it before.
Aren't you curious
about your first life?
Well…
I was curious.
Not so much now.
What's the matter?
Is something more pressing?
No, there's something more precious.
I'm going to focus on that.
My first life
means nothing to me right now.
It's not important at all.
I see.
Then Mr. Kang Min-gi,
good night.
So it means nothing.
Do you know what past lives are?
This isn't my first go at life.
"The Moon and the West Witch's Forest."
"The Moon…"
My childhood books
were probably moved up there.
THE MOON AND THE WEST WITCH'S FOREST
There it is.
There really is a key.
The key to the jewelry box
that Ju-won gave Seo-ha for his birthday
is in that book.
Welcome, sir.
The chairman is waiting for you.
Thank you. Is he on the second floor?
Yes, this way.
It's okay. I'll be fine on my own.
Seo-ha.
What brings you back home?
Did your father call for you?
No.
I had to check on something.
You didn't answer my call yesterday.
So I assumed you were busy.
You punk.
Did you meet your father?
Why don't we all have a meal together?
I have to go to work.
I see.
Your face doesn't look so good.
You're not sick, are you?
Let me know right away
when you're not feeling well.
I've cared for your mother for so long
that I'm basically a doctor.
Why are you just standing there?
Well, I saw that Seo-ha was here.
So I was about to
invite him to eat with us.
Do you guys have anything
you need to tell me?
Is this about the company?
I don't think so.
-Then leave.
-Father.
-Seo-ha.
-Stay out of this.
We need to talk.
Ms. Ban.
Ms. Yoon.
You've prepared so much.
Were you up all night doing this?
Can you tell?
Just a bit.
Where's Seo-ha?
He's not here yet.
He didn't even come to work today.
It'll take him some time to accept it.
Are you nervous?
Can you tell?
Just a bit.
Hey, Do-jin.
-Do-jin!
-What?
-Did they all leave without you?
-I don't know.
Get up.
Oh, come on.
Hurry and get up.
Stand up straight.
My legs won't cooperate.
They're moving on their own.
Why do you have to be so big?
Get it together.
Get it together, Do-jin.
When did you become so small?
When I worked my butt off
taking care of you.
Do-yun.
I want ice cream!
-Hey.
-Buy me ice cream!
-Be quiet.
-Buy me some.
I will if you quiet down.
-Come on, buy me some.
-Hey.
-Buy me ice cream!
-Let go.
-Come on.
-You're dead if you don't let go.
-I want some.
-Hey.
-Buy me some!
-Why you…
-Stop it. Hey.
-I want some.
-Buy me some!
-I'm warning you.
-Please buy me ice cream.
-You…
-Let go first.
-Come on!
Let go of him!
Hey you!
Let go of him!
I said let go!
Hold on for a minute.
Are you okay?
Who is this guy?
-He's my brother.
-What?
Oh, my. Your brother?
Oh, my goodness.
I'm so sorry.
That must have hurt.
I thought he was a drunkard.
It's all right.
I would have hit him anyway.
Who are you anyway?
I work with Mr. Ha at--
Hey, get up.
I don't want to!
Give me a piggyback ride then!
You two are nothing alike.
I guess you have similar eyes.
What if he really was a drunkard?
Why would you do that for me?
I just can't help myself.
You're blinded by love.
I know.
I guess you didn't drink a lot
at that work dinner you mentioned earlier.
I held back today.
Did you just worry about me?
Ms. Yoon.
We have to stop talking about that.
-But Mr. Ha…
-As I've told you before,
I have absolutely no intention
of being in a relationship with you.
But you like me, don't you?
Not everyone who likes each other dates.
But I will apologize.
I acted in a way that confused you
and kept your hopes up.
I sincerely apologize.
I know what you're worried about.
I really do.
But we can overcome it.
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
and drag me down like I'm nothing.
I'm used to it.
But that doesn't mean I'm fine with it.
I endure it because I chose this.
You said we could overcome it.
I know you're an independent
and open-minded person.
But I don't want to do that.
I don't have the leisure
to even think about that.
This is why I didn't want to tell you.
I was afraid
we would both be hurt.
So…
let's stop doing this.
Please.
Do you want to go to the amusement park
with me on your birthday?
I brought Mom too.
Let's have fun together, the three of us.
Okay.
What do you want to ride first?
The merry-go-round.
What about you?
The haunted house?
Sorry.
I should call it a day.
Good night, Seo-ha.
Seo-ha.
Seo-ha.
Seo-ha.
Seo-ha.
You called me a witch.
Well, this is a story about a witch…
No, a story about a person.
Did Ju-won write this?
There is a person who vividly remembers
all their past lives.
Their first memory was of sounds.
The sound of the waves,
the sound of the wind,
and the sound of bells.
Their second memory was of their mother.
Her fragrant smell,
her soft touch,
and her warm embrace.
The person was born again
and went back to their mother
from their memory,
but no one understood them.
They realized then.
That they would never be welcome anywhere.
In one life, they were a dancer
and wrote songs.
In one life, they lost a lover.
In another, they lost a child.
They remembered everything
but had no one to confide in.
Several lives passed that way.
Countless people from past relationships
were afraid of the person.
And that person was tired of being hurt.
Every time the next life came,
then the next,
it felt like more and more rocks
weighed her heart down.
"Next life"?
Seo-ha.
Ju-won.
-In my next life.
-"In my next life."
I want to remember you
in my next life.
I'll…
come back to see you.
The protagonist of this book
is Yoon Ju-won,
now known as Ban Ji-eum.
Yoon Ju-won?
Ban Ji-eum?
If you believe what you've read,
come to the place we couldn't go
on the day I gave you the jewelry box.
I'll be waiting for you there.
DIRECTOR MUN SEO-HA
Come check for yourself, Seo-ha.
The number you have dialed--
Wasn't she here yesterday too?
She was.
Is she waiting for someone?
When their 18th life began,
the person met a kid.
It was strange.
When they were with him,
it felt as if the rocks weighing
on their heart were lifted.
There was nothing special about him.
So how did he lighten their heart so much?
Help!
The person forgot
their past lives for a moment
and enjoyed life like a 12-year-old.
Would that person
who remembers their 18 lives
be able to enjoy life
together with the kid?
Do you like me?
I'll answer that on your birthday.
You see,
being confessed to on one's birthday
is a memorable event.
I like you.
I'll be by your side
whenever you need help.
Everything's all right.
I'll stay by your side.
Because that's why I was reborn this time.
Am I really that strange?
What part of that person
did you like so much?
You're my first love.
This is something that I've decided
after years of pondering.
What I'm trying to say
has to do with a miracle.
The miracle that
the Yoon Ju-won of the past
still exists
and will exist in the future as well.
You're here.
You should have picked up
if you were here.
I didn't know that…
You went to the haunted house, didn't you?
This is what Seo-ha wanted to ride,
so you should have come straight here.
What if I hadn't seen your note?
If not today, then tomorrow.
And even if not tomorrow,
I would have kept waiting.
I could've thrown your note away.
But you didn't.
Are you really Ju-won?
I wanted to see you again.
Every time I died
I used to say the same prayer.
I prayed that I wouldn't remember anything
in the next life.
But that time,
I didn't want that.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
It was all because of me.
Don't cry.
I wish you would be happy, Seo-ha.
I have to tell you this.
Yoon Ju-won and Ban Ji-eum…
both wish that you would be very happy.
Okay?
Seo-ha and Ju-won…
They're more deeply in love
than we thought.
At this rate,
Seo-ha will also have problems.
You know that the problem will only end
if we become normal.
They should know before it's too late.
Let's each do what we can…
while there's still a chance.
So…
what do I call you now?
I'll keep calling you Director Mun.
And yet you're speaking casually to me.
You're right.
Even just now.
Let's just speak to each other naturally
without overthinking it.
Sure, sounds good.
It's so pretty.
I was afraid that if I told you,
I wouldn't be able to see you again.
You said it yourself.
That you wouldn't see Ju-won
if she came back.
She met an unfortunate end while with me.
So I was anxious.
Even now?
It's all right.
I was in the past,
I'm in the present,
and I'll be in the future as well.
Okay?
When did you have the time
to make bean paste stew?
You're such a great brother.
Thank you for the food.
Are you okay?
Is it bland?
It's too salty.
You haven't lost your sense of taste
or something, have you?
You're right.
Hold on. I'll pour some water in.
Hello?
Why won't you answer your phone?
What is it now?
You're coming to the gathering, right?
They're disappointed you keep bailing.
Well, I'm a bit busy.
Ga-hui's handing out wedding invitations.
Make sure to come.
Wedding invitations?
Ae-gyeong, I'm off to work.
Uncle.
Come here before you leave.
-Why?
-Just come.
Ta-da!
Goodness, what's this?
I was so happy
with the clothes you bought me,
so I got one too.
-Yours?
-No, yours.
-Mine?
-Yes.
Look at you, Ae-gyeong.
Everything's good with Seo-ha, right?
I bought this to celebrate that too.
-Shall I open it?
-Yes.
The color's so beautiful.
Is it? Try it on.
-Oh, it's so soft.
-Gosh.
Let me try it on.
Go on.
Here we go.
My goodness, it looks better on you
than on the mannequin.
With this on,
only good things will happen to you.
Right.
Everything will come up roses
with Seo-ha, Cho-won,
and you.
Oh, my goodness.
I'm happy just imagining it.
Thank you, Ae-gyeong.
Just a moment.
Yes, ma'am?
Sure.
Working up a sweat has made me thirsty.
I'd like a cold drink.
What is it today?
After accusing the innocent of murder,
what nonsense will you spout now?
Can you even afford a lawyer if I sue you?
Have a cold drink on me.
Drink it and get lost.
Give her one too.
Yeon-ok.
You've aged so much.
"Yeon-ok"?
You've gone mad.
You were so youthful
when you were my tutor.
Did you have fun with my husband?
Do you enjoy
running my hotel?
When Sang-hyuck brought you in
and I first saw you,
you were so bright and intelligent.
You really should have done better
with what you stole from me.
Look what happened to you.
You've got nothing to your name,
neither my husband nor the company.
What are you doing?
You shouldn't have used my son
in your blackmailing at the very least.
You're a mom too.
Who are you?
Ms. Lee Sang-a asked me
to deliver this message.
She wandered the netherworld angry at you
and missed her time to leave.
She's been watching you all along.
She's probably watching now as well.
Ms. Jang,
apologize to Director Mun sincerely.
Then I'll try to change Ms. Lee's mind.
If you don't,
she said she would
haunt you forever.
All right?
How pitiful.
Was that satisfying enough?
A bit.
Seo-ha will do the rest.
That's right.
It's time for me to go now.
I'll keep in touch, ma'am.
No.
I'll be busy.
I have a very important thing to do.
Ju-won.
I hope you can cross over
safely on your own,
from here to there.
What do you mean?
People like us are fortunate
to have been able to get along
with people from past lives.
But still…
when you're born again,
you should forge new relationships.
You'll come to understand.
I trust you'll make a wise choice then.
KANG MIN-GI
Is this the place
with the pond and fireworks
you were talking about?
MUJINJEONG POND WATER FIREWORKS
It really exists.
Why didn't I know about this place?
You're here early.
Why are you alone? Where's Director Mun?
He's stopping by his family house
to see the chairman.
Seo-ha.
You were here.
I was about to go and see you.
Where's Father?
He said he had an early meeting,
so he left.
Why did you do it?
I just can't fathom why.
Why did you try to kill me?
I don't know if you'll ever believe me,
but I was never trying to kill you.
It was a mistake.
I had no idea
you would be in that car that day.
Then…
were you trying to kill Father?
But why?
I had gone mad.
What do you mean?
What are you talking about?
I hated…
seeing Yeon-ok so close to your father.
I hated your father
for neglecting your mother
and only caring about the company.
I also couldn't bear to see…
Yeon-ok still wanting
to stick with your father.
But I never wanted to kill him, Seo-ha.
Please believe me.
It was a mistake.
It was an accident.
The car accident from 24 years ago
and the incident
with Mr. Bang of Wonjo Capital…
Turn yourself in and confess to it all.
I won't allow you much time.
If you don't act…
I will.
Director Lee of MI Group
has turned himself in to the police.
His past criminal activities
have caused significant impacts.
In 1998,
Director Lee had instigated
Wonjo Capital's Mr. Bang
and ordered a hit-and-run
on one of Chairman Mun's vehicles.
Chairman Mun's only son
and Director Lee's nephew,
Managing Director Mun of MI Hotel,
was heavily injured in the accident.
Meanwhile, Ms. Yoon,
a 12-year-old passenger,
and the driver, Mr. Ha, had passed away.
In a shocking turn of events,
the recently discovered body in Hasan-ri
was found to be a victim
of Director Lee's attempt
to cover up his past criminal activities.
With the criminal motives
still in question,
MI Group has put a gag order
regarding the case.
As a prominent company in the country,
it seems that MI Group will be stunned
by this hit to its reputation.
You were worried about me again,
weren't you?
No, why would I be?
You got your head in the game
and finished the race.
I'm waiting so I can hug you
and tell you, "Well done, Seo-ha."
"Thank you, Seo-ha."
Hello?
Director Mun?
Seo-ha?
I'm all right.
You don't have to worry about me.
See you at the office.
He sounds a bit down.
I'll have to cheer him up.
How will you do that?
You startled me.
Are you going to
hold my hand and run again?
No.
I was a flamenco dancer
in one of my past lives.
So that was a different past life?
Everyone has past lives.
They just don't remember.
You have a past life too.
How would you know that?
I saw it.
My past life?
No way.
Are you trying to be funny?
Do you want to check?
I was about to head somewhere.
Do you want to come with me
on an overnight trip?
Sure.
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.
MUJINJEONG POND WATER FIREWORKS
It was somewhere around here.
Subtitle translation by: Ji-hun Lee
SEE YOU IN MY 19TH LIFE
I'm older than you.
Are you really the man
from a thousand years ago?
So this place can show me my past life?
All right then.
Let's go see your past life.
I suddenly didn't like the fact…
Mr. Ha.
…that I was there.
I never trampled on your mom.
You just coveted
what she had and stole it.
You were a coward
who stole from someone who was sick.
People from your past
whom you've reconnected with.
Those people
will meet the same fate as Ms. Kim.
Who are you?
