W (2016): Season 1, Episode 1 - Episode #1.1 - full transcript
Oh Sung Moo writes the most popular webtoon series known as "W," disappears on the day before he is supposed to finish the final episode of the webtoon. When Oh Yeon Joo a second-year cardiothoracic resident doctor, goes into her father's drawing room to investigate, an unexplained thing happens. A bloodied hand appears out of a tablet screen and pulls Yeon Joo onto a rooftop where Kang Cheol is bleeding from a stab wound. Yeon Joo ends up saving Kang Cheol's life, only to realize after the incident that Cheol is the main character of her father's webtoon. The next day, Sung Moo just as mysteriously returns and is intent on writing the final episode of the webtoon and once again tries to kill off Kang Cheol. But when Yeon Joo tries to talk her father out of ending the series, she finds herself sucked back into the world of Kang Cheol, his secretary Yon So Hee and bodyguard Seo Do Yoon. Then everything that happens to Yeon Joo in Kang Cheol's world is automatically drawn as the next episode of her father's webtoon. Why is Yeon Joo becoming embroiled in the fictional life of Kang Cheol and who is writing the story?
Shall we take a look at a different event
from the 2004 Athens Olympics?
-We have good news from Shooting.
-That's right.
The finals for the Men's 50m Pistol
is currently going on
at the shooting center.
Kang Chul, from Korea,
is doing surprisingly well.
-He's young, but he's doing very well.
-You're right.
He's only in his junior year
of high school.
I think we can expect him
to overcome the pressure
-and win a gold medal.
-That's right.
With hope for a gold medal, we'll take you
to the shooting center right now.
We're here at the Markopoulo
Olympic Shooting Center.
The final round for the Men's 50m Pistol
has already begun.
Kang Chul from Korea is aiming
for the gold medal.
Whereas he placed fifth in qualification,
he's currently leading the finals
after seven shots.
Honestly, we didn't expect Kang Chul
to be in the running for the gold medal.
The athletes next to him are ranked
first, second, and third in the world.
That's right. It's his first time
on the national team.
This is his very first
international event.
The 17-year-old is doing a great job
against the top shooters from the world.
I wonder if he can repeat
the historical moment by Yeo Kab-soon
in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.
He's been performing very well so far.
Okay, this is the eighth shot.
It's 10.2. He scored 10.2.
The best in the world,
-Asimov, scored 9.5.
-Good job!
It will be difficult for Asimov
to catch up.
Yes, but Kang Chul shouldn't
celebrate yet.
-He must remain calm until the end.
-That's right.
Stay calm and focus.
It looks like his coach is also
telling him to remain calm.
Kang Chul's coach, Kang Yun,
is also his father.
Is that so?
He taught him shooting
to help build concentration,
and he got this far in three years.
He must be gifted
-and inherited his father's talent.
-Yes, I agree.
Now, it's Kang Chul's ninth shot.
Oh, no. What happened?
He missed by a lot.
He only scored 7.9.
He made a critical mistake
on the ninth shot.
Asimov from Ukraine scored 10.2.
He scored 10.2.
-That means...
-Asimov is in the lead by 0.2.
Yes, right.
Asimov's total score is 653.4,
while Chul's total score is 653.2.
The difference between them is a mere 0.2.
Their final shots will determine
who takes home the gold.
Asimov's long experience
is shining through in the end.
Will Kang Chul's lack of experience
hold him back?
You may be right. This is his first
international competition after all.
Last shot. Focus.
-But he's more than capable.
-That's right.
-He must focus until the end.
-Right.
The tension is high.
This is the tenth and final shot.
It's 10.4.
Asimov has scored 10.4.
Asimov is indeed a very skilled player.
This means in order to win the gold medal,
Kang Chul must score higher than 10.7.
Kang Chul is still just aiming
at the target.
He must shoot within 75 seconds.
He looks really nervous.
-He needs to clear his mind.
-Chul. Shoot.
Shoot.
Honestly, it's already a huge achievement
-that he made it this far.
-That's right.
All the other athletes already
took their shots,
but Kang Chul hasn't taken his yet.
He needs to shoot now.
It has been 55 seconds already.
He looks very nervous.
He needs to shoot now.
-He should at least get the bronze.
-That's right.
He only has five seconds left.
Five, four,
-three...
-He must shoot!
...two, one.
He took his shot.
He shot with one second left on the clock.
The result is...
-It's 10.9 points!
-It's 10.9!
-Kang Chul scored 10.9!
-He came from behind to win!
You did it!
He came from behind
and won the gold medal!
You won the gold. Good job.
-He won the gold medal!
-Awesome!
Isn't he just 17 years old?
Players tend to lose their calm
under great pressure,
but he did it!
You got the gold medal! You did it!
With just one second left,
he hit the target with great accuracy.
A new star has been born today.
KANG CHUL WINS GOLD
FOR MEN'S 50M PISTOL
He did an excellent job.
Now, he is
passing the ball further inside.
-It's working now.
-Okay.
-Now, he's breaking through...
-There's an opening.
Go. Pass.
-Kick it over there!
-Go.
-Go!
-Pass.
-Shoot! Go between them!
-Right there.
-No, not there.
-Oh, no.
-That way!
-Score!
-It's going up.
-Do it!
-That way.
-Oh, gosh.
Shoot!
-Oh, no.
-What was that?
Is that you, Chul? Why are you so late?
Where have you been?
You missed this important match.
It's almost over.
He is dribbling the ball further inside.
He broke through the defense.
Let's do it. Go.
-Do it!
-They just missed
a critical chance to score again.
-Honey.
-Shoot!
-Shoot already!
-The defense isn't there.
-Do it!
-Just one more goal.
I hope they can pull themselves together
and score just one more goal.
Here he comes. Goal!
-Oh, my god!
-Please.
-Oh, no.
-Please!
-Shoot!
-Oh, no.
-Do it!
-Shoot!
They are doing great.
There goes Ahn Jung-hwan.
Ahn Jung-hwan shoots! Goal!
GOAL
Ahn Jung-hwan!
For our first news item.
Two days ago, we reported
that an entire family in Sangdo
was shot and murdered.
The police named Athens Olympics
gold medalist
Kang Chul, their son,
as the prime suspect.
Park Sang-min.
I am at Seoul Dongjak Police Station.
Former national athlete, Kang Chul,
was arrested for murdering his family.
KANG CHUL ARRESTED
FOR HIS FAMILY'S MURDER
The National Shooting Team's coach,
Kang Yun, his wife Yoon Mi-ho,
their daughter Su-yeon, and son Jun-seok
were found shot to death in their
living room on the morning of the 15th.
While investigating Kang Chul,
who was not home at the time,
the police found many suspicions
regarding his whereabouts that day.
Go, Korea!
Oh, Victory Korea
Oh, Victory Korea
In addition to that, the murder weapon,
a pistol,
was found in the trash
500 meters from the crime scene.
The gun used in the crime
is a 5.56mm caliber Swiss-made pistol.
On it, we found the victims' blood
and Kang Chul's fingerprints.
The police confirmed that the gun used
in the crime
was the same pistol used by Kang Chul
in the Olympics.
Yes. It is very shocking indeed.
So-yeong.
Don't many people still remember
the touching moment
from the Athens Olympics?
I can still remember him running
into his dad's arms like a little boy.
If Kang Chul really did murder his family,
what do you think his motive was?
Although his motive is still unclear,
according to the people close to them,
there had been a conflict
between the father and son
after Kang Chul quit shooting
and decided to study computer science.
Well, that still doesn't fully explain
why a famous Olympian
would murder his family.
That's right. Because of that,
there's a strong public protest
against the prosecution's hasty arrest.
Two people saw you by the back door.
How would you explain that?
You had a fight with your father
a week before the incident.
Then you told your friends while drinking
that your father annoyed you
with his constant nagging,
and that you wished he was gone, correct?
No, I didn't. No.
Is that right?
I'm sure you wanted to move out.
Yes.
You must have.
Didn't you?
Even so,
you shouldn't shoot your father to death.
You shot your mom,
who tried to stop you too.
You lost control
and you shot everyone to death.
What? Were you too scared to die
after you killed them?
You ran away, came back, and cried
in front of your parents' pictures.
Do you know what people call
bastards like you?
A degenerate.
You should be permanently expelled
from this society.
And that is my job.
Do you understand?
Chul.
The prosecutor on your case, Han Cheol-ho,
is an ambitious man.
He's hoping to go into politics.
He's trying to score big with your case
since you're famous.
You got really unlucky.
Also,
we already held the funeral
since we couldn't postpone it any longer.
We buried everyone in a sunny field,
so don't worry.
Be strong.
We're doing everything we can.
Hang in there.
Considering the time
and means of the crime,
it's hard to say
that it was a crime of passion.
Murdering one's own family
under a carefully designed plan
is a terrible and shocking crime
that breaks moral laws.
Moreover, the accused
is a renowned athlete.
Since he is an icon for the youth,
this incident is incomparably
shocking to society.
In order to alert society to the danger,
I strongly urge the court...
to give Kang Chul
the maximum penalty allowed by law,
the death penalty.
-Well said.
-Hang that bastard!
You're a monster!
Die!
Punish him!
Chul.
You crazy bastard.
How is this your conclusion?
How is this your conclusion?
You bastard!
Hey, answer your phone.
Hey.
Seok-beom, it's your phone.
Hey.
I need to sleep!
MAD DOG
Hey. It's Mad Dog.
You're dead meat.
Your phone rang more than ten times.
Hello, Professor Park. This is Seok-beom.
-Hey!
-Yes, sir.
-Answer your phone, you idiot!
-No, it's...
-Where's Yeon-joo?
-Yeon-joo?
She's right next to me.
I'm not sure why she won't answer
her stupid phone.
-Yes, sir. Okay.
-Ouch!
That hurts!
He's looking for you.
Dang it.
10 MISSED CALLS FROM MAD DOG
Hey, why is my phone on silent?
If he called you ten times,
and you didn't answer, he'll murder you.
-Why is he looking for me?
-I don't know.
-Oh no.
-Good luck.
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Oh, my.
-Yes?
-You have drool on your face.
-What?
-Where's Professor Park?
-Sorry?
-Professor Park.
-I don't know. The drool...
Oh, no.
He's not going to kill me, is he?
Gosh, please.
-Where's Professor Park?
-He's not here.
-Have you seen Professor Park?
-He didn't come down here.
Aren't there any patients
for our department?
No, there aren't.
What is it, then?
Professor Park, it's Oh Yeon-joo.
Come in.
Do you realize
how long it took you to come?
-Do you have a death wish?
-I'm sorry.
I didn't know you were here.
I called like crazy,
but you wouldn't pick up.
Don't you have any respect?
-Do you think you can ignore my calls?
-I'm sorry.
It will never happen again. I'm so sorry.
Is your father Oh Seong-moo,
the cartoonist?
-Pardon?
-They say you're his daughter.
I didn't know that.
Yes, he's my father.
-Really?
-Yes.
-That doesn't make sense.
-Pardon?
Your father is the great Oh Seong-moo.
How can his daughter be...
just Yeon-joo?
I'm sorry that I'm just Yeon-joo.
Do you live with your parents?
No, I live with my mom.
-What about your father?
-My parents got divorced.
Is that right?
So you don't see your father often?
I see him from time to time.
But why are you asking me these things?
-I really--
-Give me a spoiler.
-Sorry?
-You see,
I'm really into this these days.
Your father's comic.
It's so much fun.
Of course, I knew it was a hit,
but webtoons are awkward,
so I didn't read it.
But I hear it's ending this week,
so I rushed to a bookstore
and bought the books.
All 33 volumes. Look.
It was so tough.
I stayed up two whole nights
to read these.
Why is it so fun?
Was this the reason
-you called me?
-You know what?
I love the main character.
This punk Kang Chul is very tenacious.
I am a man,
-but even I think he's cool.
-He's cool from a woman's perspective too.
-Are you his fan too?
-Of course, I am.
Who wouldn't like Kang Chul?
He's handsome, talented, well-mannered,
and his eyes are... He's so sexy.
I'm sorry. I went too far.
Gosh.
High-five.
I'm glad to meet another Kang Chul's fan!
I didn't know you were his fan!
Since when did you like W?
You should've told me.
You should've told me
that he was your father.
-My dad will be thrilled.
-Gosh.
Professor,
please sign this.
By the way,
who is the real murderer?
I'm not sure about that either.
It's ending this week,
but it still hasn't been revealed.
Didn't your father tell you?
My father never talks about the story.
-Not even to his own daughter?
-No.
Just bring me a spoiler.
I know her father. He's very strict.
Yes, he is.
You've never opened up
a chest during surgery, have you?
I'll let you open up a chest.
-Really?
-Find out who the murderer is.
But my father will never tell me.
-You can close it too.
-I will get you a spoiler right now!
If you lie because you want
to open up a chest, I'll kill you.
Don't worry.
Don't worry.
-Professor.
-Yes?
-I don't think it's fair.
-What isn't?
Even senior residents
haven't opened up a chest.
Is that right?
If you're bitter, you should have
a cartoonist father too.
This is awesome.
If I had known sooner
that he was into comics,
my life would've been easier.
Well, at least I know now.
Let's see.
DAD
No.
I'll just get in trouble if I ask.
Definitely.
PARK SU-BONG
-Hello? Yeon-joo.
-Is it Yeon-joo?
Su-bong, it's been a while.
-Yeon-joo, the thing is--
-You must be really busy.
I know you have a deadline today,
so things must be hectic,
but I have a favor to ask.
My life really depends on it.
-So don't tell Dad.
-Yeon-joo!
I was going to call you. Go sit down.
-We're in trouble.
-What do you mean?
Mr. Oh disappeared.
What?
The thing is,
he's been out of touch since last night.
So what?
He must be somewhere
drinking with his friends.
No. I've called all his regular bars
and friends but nobody knows where he is.
He left his phone too.
He left his phone?
He left his wallet and car key.
He's gone missing.
Where did he go then?
The deadline is 4:00 p.m.,
yet he hasn't given us any instructions.
We don't know what to do.
He has never missed a deadline.
What do we do?
Yeon-joo!
-You scared me.
-Hi, Yeon-joo.
Hello, everyone. Any news from dad?
He's not back yet.
What?
You haven't talked to him?
I've been too busy.
It's been a while since we talked.
I should tell the editors.
I couldn't tell them yet.
Let's wait a little longer.
We still have time.
You know what's really strange?
We worked out there all night long,
and he never came out of this room.
Would you like some coffee?
Yes. At 10:00 p.m.
Okay.
We were out there all night.
But...
Your coffee...
Mr. Oh?
I went into his room
at exactly 10:00 p.m.,
and he wasn't there
although nobody saw him leave.
-Go out and look for him.
-Okay.
We were afraid that he fell somewhere,
so we looked everywhere.
Mr. Oh.
Where did he go?
But...
there was no trace of him.
Isn't that strange?
-Isn't that strange?
-It is. It's very strange.
Should I call the police?
It hasn't been 24 hours yet.
Let's wait a little longer.
Well, he might have gotten frustrated
and stepped outside to clear his head.
At night without saying anything?
Without money or his phone?
He's human, too.
He must be sad about saying goodbye
to the character
he's been drawing for ten years.
Who? Mr. Oh?
He wasn't sad at all.
He said he was sick of him
and that he wanted to kill him off.
Kill him? Kill who?
Kang Chul.
He said he was going to kill Kang Chul
in the final scene.
-He wouldn't kill Kang Chul!
-Gosh.
I saw it.
Wait a minute. Just wait.
Come here.
I really shouldn't show this to you.
Don't tell anyone, okay?
-What's this?
-What else? It's Kang Chul.
-Look. He's dead.
-Why?
-Why would you kill Kang Chul?
-I didn't kill him.
Why would he die? It doesn't make sense.
-Is he really dead?
-Look at all that blood.
How can someone survive
after bleeding this much?
You're a doctor.
We were all firmly against it.
I never opposed any of his ideas before,
but this time,
I was absolutely against it.
Seon-mi even cried.
But Mr. Oh was so stubborn.
Gosh.
He was so determined to kill him.
And brutally too.
He said that was his dream.
-No way.
-Gosh.
If this gets posted online,
people will go mad.
Everyone is expecting Kang Chul
to catch the killer and get his revenge,
but he ends up being killed instead.
Is this the killer? Who is this?
I don't know. He didn't tell me.
He drew up to this and disappeared.
Maybe he couldn't get himself
to actually draw it
-and wanted to think it over...
-No, that's not it.
I doubt it.
He was so determined.
I swear he was smiling.
He looked like he was enjoying it.
Why?
Why would he enjoy
drawing the main character's death?
How would I know? I can't read his mind.
Could it be
that a crazy fan somehow heard
about the ending
and kidnapped my dad?
-Like in the movie Misery?
-Exactly!
-Misery was about a crazy fan.
-I watched Misery.
Then...
-Then...
-We should call the police.
-I have a bad feeling about this.
-I'll call them.
I'll call them right now.
Seon-mi! Yun-hui! Give me my phone!
-My cell phone, quickly.
-What is it?
-Don't ask, and get me my phone!
-What if that's really it?
SECRET BEHIND HIS FAMILY'S DEATH,
INJUSTICE
FAMILY PROBLEMS, THE SUSPECT,
KANG CHUL, HAN CHEOL-HO
I won't be eaten up.
I will eat him up instead.
"I won't be eaten up.
I will eat him up instead."
What's going on?
Where am I?
Why am I here?
Excuse me. Hello? Wake up!
Can you hear me?
Why isn't it working?
Darn it.
Sir? Just hang in there a little longer.
What's going on here?
-Two main dishes--
-Excuse me!
Somebody call an ambulance!
A person is dying on the roof!
Can't you hear me?
A man was stabbed and is dying!
He won't last long
because he has lost a lot of blood!
Tell them to hurry!
Hurry up!
-What's going on?
-Go check it out.
You, call the manager.
What is that?
-Is he badly hurt? Who is he?
-I don't know him.
Shine some light here.
Is the ambulance coming?
-Did you call an ambulance?
-Yes.
There's a surgeons' conference downstairs.
-They're coming up now.
-A conference?
What is this place?
-Pardon?
-What building is this?
This is a hotel.
-Seoul Prime Hotel.
-It's a hotel?
Do you know what you're doing?
Let's just wait until the doctors arrive.
I'm a doctor.
Although I'm not a very good one.
Oh, no. What's wrong with him?
-I think it's a pneumothorax.
-What?
It's a pneumothorax, right? Yes, it is.
Yes, it is. Then I need
to make a puncture.
I need to make a puncture,
but I have nothing to do it with.
No, it's too dangerous.
You don't know anything.
Is he dying?
If I make a mistake and he dies sooner,
I'll be held responsible.
Whatever! Doctors in dramas just do it.
-They just do it.
-Are you really a doctor?
Leave him if you're not confident.
Wait for help!
I'm never confident.
I told you I'm not good at this!
But how can I just let him die?
Is he dead?
Is he dead?
This man just died!
-Is that him?
-He's dead!
-What's going on?
-What happened?
-What happened?
-Is he dead?
Move aside, please.
How is he doing?
His pneumothorax was tended to,
and his bleeding is under control.
-Take him to the hospital quickly.
-Okay.
-Move quickly.
-He should survive.
Mad Dog should've seen me earlier.
He should have seen how well Oh Yeon-joo,
the person he looks down on, did.
Does this mean I'm good
in real-life situations?
Am I a natural-born doctor?
-Thank you.
-Hello.
I'm the manager of this hotel,
Park Ho-yeong.
I see. Hello.
They say he would have died
if he hadn't been treated right away.
If someone had been murdered
in our hotel...
It's all thanks to you. Thank you so much.
Don't mention it.
I just carried out my duty as a doctor.
How lucky that a doctor found him.
He is extremely lucky.
Anyway, you'll have to give a statement
to the police when they arrive.
Sure, I will.
-May I ask your name?
-I am...
-It's a bit crumpled.
-It's okay.
I'm Oh Yeon-joo from Myungsei University
Medical Center.
-Are you staying at our hotel?
-No, I'm not.
Then what brought you up here?
Pardon me?
Doctor?
I asked why you came up here.
-Yes. But the thing is, I--
-Mr. Park!
That's Mr. Kang Chul.
-What?
-It's really Mr. Kang Chul, the CEO.
I didn't recognize him
because of all the blood.
What should we do?
What do you mean it's Kang Chul?
What the...
My gosh.
What on earth happened?
-Call his assistant's office.
-Pardon?
-Hurry up!
-Yes, sir.
-Mr. Kang, are you okay?
-What is wrong with them?
Who is Kang Chul?
Kang Chul is
dad's webtoon's main character.
Maybe he's a celebrity.
Right. There is a singer named Kang Chul.
Wait a second. That's Kangta.
-No, that's ridiculous...
-No. Don't try to speak!
We've called the company.
I'm so sorry. We should've protected you.
We tried our best, but...
Can't you hurry up? Be careful.
Sir, don't worry about a thing.
Just stay calm.
Be careful.
Don't worry about a thing.
Hurry up, please.
I'll take care of everything.
Gently. Please be careful.
Hey, watch out.
What is that?
TO BE CONTINUED
What is that?
What is that now?
TO BE CONTINUED
What if...
-What are you doing, Yeon-joo?
-Oh, my gosh! Hey!
-Hey.
-Why are you so jumpy?
What... What happened to me?
What do you mean?
Didn't I disappear for a long time?
You disappeared? When?
I mean I was in the room by myself
and you went out to call the police.
Yeon-joo.
I didn't call the police.
Mr. Oh is...
just fine!
What?
He met the deadline.
I don't know where he sent it from,
but he just sent it in.
And he saved Kang Chul too.
You were right.
He only went out to clear his head
because he was torn
about actually killing him.
I called you for nothing.
-He really sent it. I'll show you.
-Where is he?
He hasn't called, but he'll be here soon
since he finished it.
Come out now. Guys!
Yeon-joo.
Gosh, Yeon-joo. Hurry up.
Come out.
Gosh. Come on.
Have a seat.
Take a look.
Yeon-joo.
Our Chul is still alive! Cheers.
This isn't the ending, either.
I guess he will run it a bit longer.
Isn't that great?
-Gosh. I suddenly feel--
-Aren't you hungry?
Let's order jjajangmyeon.
Shall we have tangsuyuk too?
You're unbelievable.
Just eat this. Goodness.

The main character, Kang Chul.
Born in Seoul in 1987.
Co-CEO of JN Global,
an e-commerce company.
JN Global's total market value
is 1.5 trillion won.
Incredibly rich, with a net worth
of 800 billion won.
The story began 12 years ago
when the young Kang Chul won
a gold medal in the Olympics.
-It's 10.9 points!
-It's 10.9!
Handsome, talented, and hard-working,
he became a national star.
-He won the gold medal!
-Kang Chul!
But his entire family was murdered
and his life spiraled out of control.
-He was arrested as the prime suspect.
-You shot everyone to death.
The problem was,
there were no other suspects.
I strongly urge the court to give
Kang Chul the maximum penalty
allowed by law, the death penalty.
You crazy bastard.
How is this your conclusion?
Chul was sentenced to death
at his initial trial
and life in prison at his appeal.
Eventually, the Supreme Court found him
not guilty due to lack of evidence.
We find the defendant not guilty.
However, his hardship didn't end
just because he avoided being executed.
When Chul came home
after a year in prison,
he couldn't accept the reality
that his family was gone.
Isn't that him?
That will be 4,000 won.
He's so thick-skinned.
-Isn't he Kang Chul?
-No way.
I think it's him.
-No way.
-Come here.
It's Kang Chul.
He couldn't stand how people still
looked at him with contempt,
suspecting him as a murderer.
After a year of living as an outcast,
he decided to end his life.
In his short life, he had never imagined
that his life would end like this.
He was angry
and he felt hopeless.
In that final moment,
one thought suddenly came to him.
A come-from-behind win.
Kang Chul chose to fight rather than die.
He could not get his life back
unless he caught the real murderer.
Thus, he vowed to catch the murderer
before he dies.
The hospital stated
that Kang Chul underwent two surgeries
and is now in stable condition.
The hospital is crowded
with people worried about him.
The police are searching
for the assailant who attacked him.
However, they do not have
any clear leads yet.
According to the hotel manager,
the only witness claimed to be a doctor.
But her identity has not been confirmed.
The police announced that they will
do their best to find the witness
and arrest the assailant.
-Did you find her?
-No.
They searched the entire area,
but they couldn't find her.
She wasn't caught on any
of the surveillance cameras.
-Not at all?
-No.
That woman is a little strange.
She told the manager
she'd give her statement...
Ms. Oh Yeon-joo?
What? She's not here.
Where did she go?
She was gone when the police arrived.
She claimed to be a doctor
from Myungsei University Medical Center.
Where is that?
There is no such hospital in Korea.
So she was pretending to be a doctor.
Look at this.
"Cardiothoracic surgery resident,
Oh Yeon-joo."
She even made a business card.
But the cell number
and e-mail address are fake.
The police are suspecting
that this woman is an accomplice.
I don't think so.
No, she's not.
How would you know that?
You don't remember anything.
My instincts?
Anyway, we have to find her.
I think that woman holds
the key to my life.
"The key to your life"?
That's so dramatic, it's making me cringe.
Find her.
They're putting together a sketch.
According to the paramedics,
she's quite pretty.
-No, she's definitely not pretty.
-They said she was.
If she's considered pretty,
a stray dog would be pretty.
Yet she's the key to your life?
I didn't say that because she's pretty.
I thought you fell in love at first sight.
What do you take me for?
The playboy of the century.
Have you seen an assistant
who is this rude to her boss?
Have you ever?
-No.
-Right.
Then how can a woman that you just met
be the key to your life?
The reason for my existence.
I think she is the key to find
the reason for my existence.
Satisfied?
This is frustrating.
I can tell you the reason
for your existence too.
Listen. It's simple.
Your parents loved each other,
-and a sperm and an egg--
-Don't make her sketch pretty.
We'll never find her that way.
And speak casually only when we are alone.
Yes, sir.
Okay, sir.
I will tell the police
exactly what you said.
The woman who's the key to your life
is definitely not pretty.
She's pissed off again, isn't she?
Calling her the key to your life
is a bit much.
She must be very pretty.
I told you, she's not pretty.
Seriously.
"Oh Yeon-joo."
CARDIOTHORACIC SURGERY RESIDENT
OH YEON-JOO
"Oh Yeon-joo."
Where are you right now?
OH YEON-JOO
WHERE ARE YOU RIGHT NOW?
Where's Yeon-joo? Where is she?
There you are.
I understand
that your father loves you very much.
I do.
But how can he make you
a webtoon character?
How can a reader like me read it?
-Did you see it? Look.
-Oh, my gosh.
Did you see this?
Look. "Cardiothoracic Surgery
at Myungsei University Medical Center."
He's making it so obvious
that she's his daughter.
How can I concentrate
when a quack like you saved Kang Chul?
And what? Oh Yeon-joo is pretty?
This is crazy.
At that very moment,
I realized that I had
a violent side in me.
I realized that I can want to kill people
instead of saving them.
Professor, let's talk later.
I didn't want this either.
You asked your father to do this,
didn't you?
Instead of bringing me a spoiler,
you ruined a masterpiece
by putting yourself in the story!
-Would you please leave?
-What was that?
-This is not a good time.
-What are you doing?
-Please leave.
-Are you mad?
-Please.
-Are you touching me?
-You're touching and pushing me.
-Please get out!
Oh, my god.
Professor, what happened?
Did you see that?
She's driving me mad.
Come out!
What happened?
What's happening? Think, Yeon-joo.
Get it together.
-Hello, Yeon-joo?
-Su-bong.
You saw it, right?
Kang Chul is looking for me.
This is absurd. He's looking for me.
That's right. He's looking for you.
He has my business card
and is trying to find me.
That's the business card I gave
to the manager at the hotel.
It's my actual business card.
It says, "Myungsei University
Medical Center, Oh Yeon-joo."
That's right. "Myungsei University
Medical Center, Oh Yeon-joo."
I think that this story is taking
a strange turn too.
He's focusing
too much on that new character.
Where is he drawing this?
We still can't reach him.
My dad... My dad isn't drawing this.
Then who?
It took a life of its own
when Kang Chul survived.
Listen. He was supposed to die,
but he didn't.
And now, the story is moving on its own.
What on earth are you talking about?
Don't you understand what I'm saying?
I know. I don't understand
what I'm saying either.
I sound like a crazy person.
Kang Chul is alive.
He's alive and is looking for me.
A different world exists in W.
The world where the real Kang Chul lives.
Yeon-joo, calm yourself.
-I don't get what you're--
-I know I'm right!
Goodness.
OH YEON-JOO
WHERE ARE YOU RIGHT NOW?
Why are you looking for me?
What do you want from me?
Why?
How am I the key to your life?
OH YEON-JOO
WHERE ARE YOU RIGHT NOW?
You know about it too, don't you?
You know that I saved Chul's life.
You didn't draw that, did you?
He's a monster.
So I decided to judge him.
Research some poisons.
I think he's going to kill Chul again.
You can't! That's murder!
We finally meet, Oh Yeon-joo.
You've piqued my interest.
See you next time.
-Yeon-joo.
-You're fully recovered already?
What do you mean, "already"?
I was in bed for two months.
Two months have passed?
This is a series.
Do we need an incident that could lead
to the next chapter?
An incident! What kind of incident?
I was right about her.
She's crazy.
A madwoman.
I finally found it. The key to my life.
The editor already received
the manuscript.
What is this?
Do as I say and take it down now!
That's why I have to end his life
right now.
Subtitle translation by Jeong Lee
from the 2004 Athens Olympics?
-We have good news from Shooting.
-That's right.
The finals for the Men's 50m Pistol
is currently going on
at the shooting center.
Kang Chul, from Korea,
is doing surprisingly well.
-He's young, but he's doing very well.
-You're right.
He's only in his junior year
of high school.
I think we can expect him
to overcome the pressure
-and win a gold medal.
-That's right.
With hope for a gold medal, we'll take you
to the shooting center right now.
We're here at the Markopoulo
Olympic Shooting Center.
The final round for the Men's 50m Pistol
has already begun.
Kang Chul from Korea is aiming
for the gold medal.
Whereas he placed fifth in qualification,
he's currently leading the finals
after seven shots.
Honestly, we didn't expect Kang Chul
to be in the running for the gold medal.
The athletes next to him are ranked
first, second, and third in the world.
That's right. It's his first time
on the national team.
This is his very first
international event.
The 17-year-old is doing a great job
against the top shooters from the world.
I wonder if he can repeat
the historical moment by Yeo Kab-soon
in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.
He's been performing very well so far.
Okay, this is the eighth shot.
It's 10.2. He scored 10.2.
The best in the world,
-Asimov, scored 9.5.
-Good job!
It will be difficult for Asimov
to catch up.
Yes, but Kang Chul shouldn't
celebrate yet.
-He must remain calm until the end.
-That's right.
Stay calm and focus.
It looks like his coach is also
telling him to remain calm.
Kang Chul's coach, Kang Yun,
is also his father.
Is that so?
He taught him shooting
to help build concentration,
and he got this far in three years.
He must be gifted
-and inherited his father's talent.
-Yes, I agree.
Now, it's Kang Chul's ninth shot.
Oh, no. What happened?
He missed by a lot.
He only scored 7.9.
He made a critical mistake
on the ninth shot.
Asimov from Ukraine scored 10.2.
He scored 10.2.
-That means...
-Asimov is in the lead by 0.2.
Yes, right.
Asimov's total score is 653.4,
while Chul's total score is 653.2.
The difference between them is a mere 0.2.
Their final shots will determine
who takes home the gold.
Asimov's long experience
is shining through in the end.
Will Kang Chul's lack of experience
hold him back?
You may be right. This is his first
international competition after all.
Last shot. Focus.
-But he's more than capable.
-That's right.
-He must focus until the end.
-Right.
The tension is high.
This is the tenth and final shot.
It's 10.4.
Asimov has scored 10.4.
Asimov is indeed a very skilled player.
This means in order to win the gold medal,
Kang Chul must score higher than 10.7.
Kang Chul is still just aiming
at the target.
He must shoot within 75 seconds.
He looks really nervous.
-He needs to clear his mind.
-Chul. Shoot.
Shoot.
Honestly, it's already a huge achievement
-that he made it this far.
-That's right.
All the other athletes already
took their shots,
but Kang Chul hasn't taken his yet.
He needs to shoot now.
It has been 55 seconds already.
He looks very nervous.
He needs to shoot now.
-He should at least get the bronze.
-That's right.
He only has five seconds left.
Five, four,
-three...
-He must shoot!
...two, one.
He took his shot.
He shot with one second left on the clock.
The result is...
-It's 10.9 points!
-It's 10.9!
-Kang Chul scored 10.9!
-He came from behind to win!
You did it!
He came from behind
and won the gold medal!
You won the gold. Good job.
-He won the gold medal!
-Awesome!
Isn't he just 17 years old?
Players tend to lose their calm
under great pressure,
but he did it!
You got the gold medal! You did it!
With just one second left,
he hit the target with great accuracy.
A new star has been born today.
KANG CHUL WINS GOLD
FOR MEN'S 50M PISTOL
He did an excellent job.
Now, he is
passing the ball further inside.
-It's working now.
-Okay.
-Now, he's breaking through...
-There's an opening.
Go. Pass.
-Kick it over there!
-Go.
-Go!
-Pass.
-Shoot! Go between them!
-Right there.
-No, not there.
-Oh, no.
-That way!
-Score!
-It's going up.
-Do it!
-That way.
-Oh, gosh.
Shoot!
-Oh, no.
-What was that?
Is that you, Chul? Why are you so late?
Where have you been?
You missed this important match.
It's almost over.
He is dribbling the ball further inside.
He broke through the defense.
Let's do it. Go.
-Do it!
-They just missed
a critical chance to score again.
-Honey.
-Shoot!
-Shoot already!
-The defense isn't there.
-Do it!
-Just one more goal.
I hope they can pull themselves together
and score just one more goal.
Here he comes. Goal!
-Oh, my god!
-Please.
-Oh, no.
-Please!
-Shoot!
-Oh, no.
-Do it!
-Shoot!
They are doing great.
There goes Ahn Jung-hwan.
Ahn Jung-hwan shoots! Goal!
GOAL
Ahn Jung-hwan!
For our first news item.
Two days ago, we reported
that an entire family in Sangdo
was shot and murdered.
The police named Athens Olympics
gold medalist
Kang Chul, their son,
as the prime suspect.
Park Sang-min.
I am at Seoul Dongjak Police Station.
Former national athlete, Kang Chul,
was arrested for murdering his family.
KANG CHUL ARRESTED
FOR HIS FAMILY'S MURDER
The National Shooting Team's coach,
Kang Yun, his wife Yoon Mi-ho,
their daughter Su-yeon, and son Jun-seok
were found shot to death in their
living room on the morning of the 15th.
While investigating Kang Chul,
who was not home at the time,
the police found many suspicions
regarding his whereabouts that day.
Go, Korea!
Oh, Victory Korea
Oh, Victory Korea
In addition to that, the murder weapon,
a pistol,
was found in the trash
500 meters from the crime scene.
The gun used in the crime
is a 5.56mm caliber Swiss-made pistol.
On it, we found the victims' blood
and Kang Chul's fingerprints.
The police confirmed that the gun used
in the crime
was the same pistol used by Kang Chul
in the Olympics.
Yes. It is very shocking indeed.
So-yeong.
Don't many people still remember
the touching moment
from the Athens Olympics?
I can still remember him running
into his dad's arms like a little boy.
If Kang Chul really did murder his family,
what do you think his motive was?
Although his motive is still unclear,
according to the people close to them,
there had been a conflict
between the father and son
after Kang Chul quit shooting
and decided to study computer science.
Well, that still doesn't fully explain
why a famous Olympian
would murder his family.
That's right. Because of that,
there's a strong public protest
against the prosecution's hasty arrest.
Two people saw you by the back door.
How would you explain that?
You had a fight with your father
a week before the incident.
Then you told your friends while drinking
that your father annoyed you
with his constant nagging,
and that you wished he was gone, correct?
No, I didn't. No.
Is that right?
I'm sure you wanted to move out.
Yes.
You must have.
Didn't you?
Even so,
you shouldn't shoot your father to death.
You shot your mom,
who tried to stop you too.
You lost control
and you shot everyone to death.
What? Were you too scared to die
after you killed them?
You ran away, came back, and cried
in front of your parents' pictures.
Do you know what people call
bastards like you?
A degenerate.
You should be permanently expelled
from this society.
And that is my job.
Do you understand?
Chul.
The prosecutor on your case, Han Cheol-ho,
is an ambitious man.
He's hoping to go into politics.
He's trying to score big with your case
since you're famous.
You got really unlucky.
Also,
we already held the funeral
since we couldn't postpone it any longer.
We buried everyone in a sunny field,
so don't worry.
Be strong.
We're doing everything we can.
Hang in there.
Considering the time
and means of the crime,
it's hard to say
that it was a crime of passion.
Murdering one's own family
under a carefully designed plan
is a terrible and shocking crime
that breaks moral laws.
Moreover, the accused
is a renowned athlete.
Since he is an icon for the youth,
this incident is incomparably
shocking to society.
In order to alert society to the danger,
I strongly urge the court...
to give Kang Chul
the maximum penalty allowed by law,
the death penalty.
-Well said.
-Hang that bastard!
You're a monster!
Die!
Punish him!
Chul.
You crazy bastard.
How is this your conclusion?
How is this your conclusion?
You bastard!
Hey, answer your phone.
Hey.
Seok-beom, it's your phone.
Hey.
I need to sleep!
MAD DOG
Hey. It's Mad Dog.
You're dead meat.
Your phone rang more than ten times.
Hello, Professor Park. This is Seok-beom.
-Hey!
-Yes, sir.
-Answer your phone, you idiot!
-No, it's...
-Where's Yeon-joo?
-Yeon-joo?
She's right next to me.
I'm not sure why she won't answer
her stupid phone.
-Yes, sir. Okay.
-Ouch!
That hurts!
He's looking for you.
Dang it.
10 MISSED CALLS FROM MAD DOG
Hey, why is my phone on silent?
If he called you ten times,
and you didn't answer, he'll murder you.
-Why is he looking for me?
-I don't know.
-Oh no.
-Good luck.
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Oh, my.
-Yes?
-You have drool on your face.
-What?
-Where's Professor Park?
-Sorry?
-Professor Park.
-I don't know. The drool...
Oh, no.
He's not going to kill me, is he?
Gosh, please.
-Where's Professor Park?
-He's not here.
-Have you seen Professor Park?
-He didn't come down here.
Aren't there any patients
for our department?
No, there aren't.
What is it, then?
Professor Park, it's Oh Yeon-joo.
Come in.
Do you realize
how long it took you to come?
-Do you have a death wish?
-I'm sorry.
I didn't know you were here.
I called like crazy,
but you wouldn't pick up.
Don't you have any respect?
-Do you think you can ignore my calls?
-I'm sorry.
It will never happen again. I'm so sorry.
Is your father Oh Seong-moo,
the cartoonist?
-Pardon?
-They say you're his daughter.
I didn't know that.
Yes, he's my father.
-Really?
-Yes.
-That doesn't make sense.
-Pardon?
Your father is the great Oh Seong-moo.
How can his daughter be...
just Yeon-joo?
I'm sorry that I'm just Yeon-joo.
Do you live with your parents?
No, I live with my mom.
-What about your father?
-My parents got divorced.
Is that right?
So you don't see your father often?
I see him from time to time.
But why are you asking me these things?
-I really--
-Give me a spoiler.
-Sorry?
-You see,
I'm really into this these days.
Your father's comic.
It's so much fun.
Of course, I knew it was a hit,
but webtoons are awkward,
so I didn't read it.
But I hear it's ending this week,
so I rushed to a bookstore
and bought the books.
All 33 volumes. Look.
It was so tough.
I stayed up two whole nights
to read these.
Why is it so fun?
Was this the reason
-you called me?
-You know what?
I love the main character.
This punk Kang Chul is very tenacious.
I am a man,
-but even I think he's cool.
-He's cool from a woman's perspective too.
-Are you his fan too?
-Of course, I am.
Who wouldn't like Kang Chul?
He's handsome, talented, well-mannered,
and his eyes are... He's so sexy.
I'm sorry. I went too far.
Gosh.
High-five.
I'm glad to meet another Kang Chul's fan!
I didn't know you were his fan!
Since when did you like W?
You should've told me.
You should've told me
that he was your father.
-My dad will be thrilled.
-Gosh.
Professor,
please sign this.
By the way,
who is the real murderer?
I'm not sure about that either.
It's ending this week,
but it still hasn't been revealed.
Didn't your father tell you?
My father never talks about the story.
-Not even to his own daughter?
-No.
Just bring me a spoiler.
I know her father. He's very strict.
Yes, he is.
You've never opened up
a chest during surgery, have you?
I'll let you open up a chest.
-Really?
-Find out who the murderer is.
But my father will never tell me.
-You can close it too.
-I will get you a spoiler right now!
If you lie because you want
to open up a chest, I'll kill you.
Don't worry.
Don't worry.
-Professor.
-Yes?
-I don't think it's fair.
-What isn't?
Even senior residents
haven't opened up a chest.
Is that right?
If you're bitter, you should have
a cartoonist father too.
This is awesome.
If I had known sooner
that he was into comics,
my life would've been easier.
Well, at least I know now.
Let's see.
DAD
No.
I'll just get in trouble if I ask.
Definitely.
PARK SU-BONG
-Hello? Yeon-joo.
-Is it Yeon-joo?
Su-bong, it's been a while.
-Yeon-joo, the thing is--
-You must be really busy.
I know you have a deadline today,
so things must be hectic,
but I have a favor to ask.
My life really depends on it.
-So don't tell Dad.
-Yeon-joo!
I was going to call you. Go sit down.
-We're in trouble.
-What do you mean?
Mr. Oh disappeared.
What?
The thing is,
he's been out of touch since last night.
So what?
He must be somewhere
drinking with his friends.
No. I've called all his regular bars
and friends but nobody knows where he is.
He left his phone too.
He left his phone?
He left his wallet and car key.
He's gone missing.
Where did he go then?
The deadline is 4:00 p.m.,
yet he hasn't given us any instructions.
We don't know what to do.
He has never missed a deadline.
What do we do?
Yeon-joo!
-You scared me.
-Hi, Yeon-joo.
Hello, everyone. Any news from dad?
He's not back yet.
What?
You haven't talked to him?
I've been too busy.
It's been a while since we talked.
I should tell the editors.
I couldn't tell them yet.
Let's wait a little longer.
We still have time.
You know what's really strange?
We worked out there all night long,
and he never came out of this room.
Would you like some coffee?
Yes. At 10:00 p.m.
Okay.
We were out there all night.
But...
Your coffee...
Mr. Oh?
I went into his room
at exactly 10:00 p.m.,
and he wasn't there
although nobody saw him leave.
-Go out and look for him.
-Okay.
We were afraid that he fell somewhere,
so we looked everywhere.
Mr. Oh.
Where did he go?
But...
there was no trace of him.
Isn't that strange?
-Isn't that strange?
-It is. It's very strange.
Should I call the police?
It hasn't been 24 hours yet.
Let's wait a little longer.
Well, he might have gotten frustrated
and stepped outside to clear his head.
At night without saying anything?
Without money or his phone?
He's human, too.
He must be sad about saying goodbye
to the character
he's been drawing for ten years.
Who? Mr. Oh?
He wasn't sad at all.
He said he was sick of him
and that he wanted to kill him off.
Kill him? Kill who?
Kang Chul.
He said he was going to kill Kang Chul
in the final scene.
-He wouldn't kill Kang Chul!
-Gosh.
I saw it.
Wait a minute. Just wait.
Come here.
I really shouldn't show this to you.
Don't tell anyone, okay?
-What's this?
-What else? It's Kang Chul.
-Look. He's dead.
-Why?
-Why would you kill Kang Chul?
-I didn't kill him.
Why would he die? It doesn't make sense.
-Is he really dead?
-Look at all that blood.
How can someone survive
after bleeding this much?
You're a doctor.
We were all firmly against it.
I never opposed any of his ideas before,
but this time,
I was absolutely against it.
Seon-mi even cried.
But Mr. Oh was so stubborn.
Gosh.
He was so determined to kill him.
And brutally too.
He said that was his dream.
-No way.
-Gosh.
If this gets posted online,
people will go mad.
Everyone is expecting Kang Chul
to catch the killer and get his revenge,
but he ends up being killed instead.
Is this the killer? Who is this?
I don't know. He didn't tell me.
He drew up to this and disappeared.
Maybe he couldn't get himself
to actually draw it
-and wanted to think it over...
-No, that's not it.
I doubt it.
He was so determined.
I swear he was smiling.
He looked like he was enjoying it.
Why?
Why would he enjoy
drawing the main character's death?
How would I know? I can't read his mind.
Could it be
that a crazy fan somehow heard
about the ending
and kidnapped my dad?
-Like in the movie Misery?
-Exactly!
-Misery was about a crazy fan.
-I watched Misery.
Then...
-Then...
-We should call the police.
-I have a bad feeling about this.
-I'll call them.
I'll call them right now.
Seon-mi! Yun-hui! Give me my phone!
-My cell phone, quickly.
-What is it?
-Don't ask, and get me my phone!
-What if that's really it?
SECRET BEHIND HIS FAMILY'S DEATH,
INJUSTICE
FAMILY PROBLEMS, THE SUSPECT,
KANG CHUL, HAN CHEOL-HO
I won't be eaten up.
I will eat him up instead.
"I won't be eaten up.
I will eat him up instead."
What's going on?
Where am I?
Why am I here?
Excuse me. Hello? Wake up!
Can you hear me?
Why isn't it working?
Darn it.
Sir? Just hang in there a little longer.
What's going on here?
-Two main dishes--
-Excuse me!
Somebody call an ambulance!
A person is dying on the roof!
Can't you hear me?
A man was stabbed and is dying!
He won't last long
because he has lost a lot of blood!
Tell them to hurry!
Hurry up!
-What's going on?
-Go check it out.
You, call the manager.
What is that?
-Is he badly hurt? Who is he?
-I don't know him.
Shine some light here.
Is the ambulance coming?
-Did you call an ambulance?
-Yes.
There's a surgeons' conference downstairs.
-They're coming up now.
-A conference?
What is this place?
-Pardon?
-What building is this?
This is a hotel.
-Seoul Prime Hotel.
-It's a hotel?
Do you know what you're doing?
Let's just wait until the doctors arrive.
I'm a doctor.
Although I'm not a very good one.
Oh, no. What's wrong with him?
-I think it's a pneumothorax.
-What?
It's a pneumothorax, right? Yes, it is.
Yes, it is. Then I need
to make a puncture.
I need to make a puncture,
but I have nothing to do it with.
No, it's too dangerous.
You don't know anything.
Is he dying?
If I make a mistake and he dies sooner,
I'll be held responsible.
Whatever! Doctors in dramas just do it.
-They just do it.
-Are you really a doctor?
Leave him if you're not confident.
Wait for help!
I'm never confident.
I told you I'm not good at this!
But how can I just let him die?
Is he dead?
Is he dead?
This man just died!
-Is that him?
-He's dead!
-What's going on?
-What happened?
-What happened?
-Is he dead?
Move aside, please.
How is he doing?
His pneumothorax was tended to,
and his bleeding is under control.
-Take him to the hospital quickly.
-Okay.
-Move quickly.
-He should survive.
Mad Dog should've seen me earlier.
He should have seen how well Oh Yeon-joo,
the person he looks down on, did.
Does this mean I'm good
in real-life situations?
Am I a natural-born doctor?
-Thank you.
-Hello.
I'm the manager of this hotel,
Park Ho-yeong.
I see. Hello.
They say he would have died
if he hadn't been treated right away.
If someone had been murdered
in our hotel...
It's all thanks to you. Thank you so much.
Don't mention it.
I just carried out my duty as a doctor.
How lucky that a doctor found him.
He is extremely lucky.
Anyway, you'll have to give a statement
to the police when they arrive.
Sure, I will.
-May I ask your name?
-I am...
-It's a bit crumpled.
-It's okay.
I'm Oh Yeon-joo from Myungsei University
Medical Center.
-Are you staying at our hotel?
-No, I'm not.
Then what brought you up here?
Pardon me?
Doctor?
I asked why you came up here.
-Yes. But the thing is, I--
-Mr. Park!
That's Mr. Kang Chul.
-What?
-It's really Mr. Kang Chul, the CEO.
I didn't recognize him
because of all the blood.
What should we do?
What do you mean it's Kang Chul?
What the...
My gosh.
What on earth happened?
-Call his assistant's office.
-Pardon?
-Hurry up!
-Yes, sir.
-Mr. Kang, are you okay?
-What is wrong with them?
Who is Kang Chul?
Kang Chul is
dad's webtoon's main character.
Maybe he's a celebrity.
Right. There is a singer named Kang Chul.
Wait a second. That's Kangta.
-No, that's ridiculous...
-No. Don't try to speak!
We've called the company.
I'm so sorry. We should've protected you.
We tried our best, but...
Can't you hurry up? Be careful.
Sir, don't worry about a thing.
Just stay calm.
Be careful.
Don't worry about a thing.
Hurry up, please.
I'll take care of everything.
Gently. Please be careful.
Hey, watch out.
What is that?
TO BE CONTINUED
What is that?
What is that now?
TO BE CONTINUED
What if...
-What are you doing, Yeon-joo?
-Oh, my gosh! Hey!
-Hey.
-Why are you so jumpy?
What... What happened to me?
What do you mean?
Didn't I disappear for a long time?
You disappeared? When?
I mean I was in the room by myself
and you went out to call the police.
Yeon-joo.
I didn't call the police.
Mr. Oh is...
just fine!
What?
He met the deadline.
I don't know where he sent it from,
but he just sent it in.
And he saved Kang Chul too.
You were right.
He only went out to clear his head
because he was torn
about actually killing him.
I called you for nothing.
-He really sent it. I'll show you.
-Where is he?
He hasn't called, but he'll be here soon
since he finished it.
Come out now. Guys!
Yeon-joo.
Gosh, Yeon-joo. Hurry up.
Come out.
Gosh. Come on.
Have a seat.
Take a look.
Yeon-joo.
Our Chul is still alive! Cheers.
This isn't the ending, either.
I guess he will run it a bit longer.
Isn't that great?
-Gosh. I suddenly feel--
-Aren't you hungry?
Let's order jjajangmyeon.
Shall we have tangsuyuk too?
You're unbelievable.
Just eat this. Goodness.

What is that?
Is he badly hurt? Who is he?
PRESS

LIFT
STAB
This is crazy.
He added a new character. A female doctor.
She has your name.
RUSHING
LIFT
This is crazy.
That is...
That is me.
The main character, Kang Chul.
Born in Seoul in 1987.
Co-CEO of JN Global,
an e-commerce company.
JN Global's total market value
is 1.5 trillion won.
Incredibly rich, with a net worth
of 800 billion won.
The story began 12 years ago
when the young Kang Chul won
a gold medal in the Olympics.
-It's 10.9 points!
-It's 10.9!
Handsome, talented, and hard-working,
he became a national star.
-He won the gold medal!
-Kang Chul!
But his entire family was murdered
and his life spiraled out of control.
-He was arrested as the prime suspect.
-You shot everyone to death.
The problem was,
there were no other suspects.
I strongly urge the court to give
Kang Chul the maximum penalty
allowed by law, the death penalty.
You crazy bastard.
How is this your conclusion?
Chul was sentenced to death
at his initial trial
and life in prison at his appeal.
Eventually, the Supreme Court found him
not guilty due to lack of evidence.
We find the defendant not guilty.
However, his hardship didn't end
just because he avoided being executed.
When Chul came home
after a year in prison,
he couldn't accept the reality
that his family was gone.
Isn't that him?
That will be 4,000 won.
He's so thick-skinned.
-Isn't he Kang Chul?
-No way.
I think it's him.
-No way.
-Come here.
It's Kang Chul.
He couldn't stand how people still
looked at him with contempt,
suspecting him as a murderer.
After a year of living as an outcast,
he decided to end his life.
In his short life, he had never imagined
that his life would end like this.
He was angry
and he felt hopeless.
In that final moment,
one thought suddenly came to him.
A come-from-behind win.
Kang Chul chose to fight rather than die.
He could not get his life back
unless he caught the real murderer.
Thus, he vowed to catch the murderer
before he dies.
The hospital stated
that Kang Chul underwent two surgeries
and is now in stable condition.
The hospital is crowded
with people worried about him.
The police are searching
for the assailant who attacked him.
However, they do not have
any clear leads yet.
According to the hotel manager,
the only witness claimed to be a doctor.
But her identity has not been confirmed.
The police announced that they will
do their best to find the witness
and arrest the assailant.
-Did you find her?
-No.
They searched the entire area,
but they couldn't find her.
She wasn't caught on any
of the surveillance cameras.
-Not at all?
-No.
That woman is a little strange.
She told the manager
she'd give her statement...
Ms. Oh Yeon-joo?
What? She's not here.
Where did she go?
She was gone when the police arrived.
She claimed to be a doctor
from Myungsei University Medical Center.
Where is that?
There is no such hospital in Korea.
So she was pretending to be a doctor.
Look at this.
"Cardiothoracic surgery resident,
Oh Yeon-joo."
She even made a business card.
But the cell number
and e-mail address are fake.
The police are suspecting
that this woman is an accomplice.
I don't think so.
No, she's not.
How would you know that?
You don't remember anything.
My instincts?
Anyway, we have to find her.
I think that woman holds
the key to my life.
"The key to your life"?
That's so dramatic, it's making me cringe.
Find her.
They're putting together a sketch.
According to the paramedics,
she's quite pretty.
-No, she's definitely not pretty.
-They said she was.
If she's considered pretty,
a stray dog would be pretty.
Yet she's the key to your life?
I didn't say that because she's pretty.
I thought you fell in love at first sight.
What do you take me for?
The playboy of the century.
Have you seen an assistant
who is this rude to her boss?
Have you ever?
-No.
-Right.
Then how can a woman that you just met
be the key to your life?
The reason for my existence.
I think she is the key to find
the reason for my existence.
Satisfied?
This is frustrating.
I can tell you the reason
for your existence too.
Listen. It's simple.
Your parents loved each other,
-and a sperm and an egg--
-Don't make her sketch pretty.
We'll never find her that way.
And speak casually only when we are alone.
Yes, sir.
Okay, sir.
I will tell the police
exactly what you said.
The woman who's the key to your life
is definitely not pretty.
She's pissed off again, isn't she?
Calling her the key to your life
is a bit much.
She must be very pretty.
I told you, she's not pretty.
Seriously.
"Oh Yeon-joo."
CARDIOTHORACIC SURGERY RESIDENT
OH YEON-JOO
"Oh Yeon-joo."
Where are you right now?
OH YEON-JOO
WHERE ARE YOU RIGHT NOW?
Where's Yeon-joo? Where is she?
There you are.
I understand
that your father loves you very much.
I do.
But how can he make you
a webtoon character?
How can a reader like me read it?
-Did you see it? Look.
-Oh, my gosh.
Did you see this?
Look. "Cardiothoracic Surgery
at Myungsei University Medical Center."
He's making it so obvious
that she's his daughter.
How can I concentrate
when a quack like you saved Kang Chul?
And what? Oh Yeon-joo is pretty?
This is crazy.
At that very moment,
I realized that I had
a violent side in me.
I realized that I can want to kill people
instead of saving them.
Professor, let's talk later.
I didn't want this either.
You asked your father to do this,
didn't you?
Instead of bringing me a spoiler,
you ruined a masterpiece
by putting yourself in the story!
-Would you please leave?
-What was that?
-This is not a good time.
-What are you doing?
-Please leave.
-Are you mad?
-Please.
-Are you touching me?
-You're touching and pushing me.
-Please get out!
Oh, my god.
Professor, what happened?
Did you see that?
She's driving me mad.
Come out!
What happened?
What's happening? Think, Yeon-joo.
Get it together.
-Hello, Yeon-joo?
-Su-bong.
You saw it, right?
Kang Chul is looking for me.
This is absurd. He's looking for me.
That's right. He's looking for you.
He has my business card
and is trying to find me.
That's the business card I gave
to the manager at the hotel.
It's my actual business card.
It says, "Myungsei University
Medical Center, Oh Yeon-joo."
That's right. "Myungsei University
Medical Center, Oh Yeon-joo."
I think that this story is taking
a strange turn too.
He's focusing
too much on that new character.
Where is he drawing this?
We still can't reach him.
My dad... My dad isn't drawing this.
Then who?
It took a life of its own
when Kang Chul survived.
Listen. He was supposed to die,
but he didn't.
And now, the story is moving on its own.
What on earth are you talking about?
Don't you understand what I'm saying?
I know. I don't understand
what I'm saying either.
I sound like a crazy person.
Kang Chul is alive.
He's alive and is looking for me.
A different world exists in W.
The world where the real Kang Chul lives.
Yeon-joo, calm yourself.
-I don't get what you're--
-I know I'm right!
Goodness.
OH YEON-JOO
WHERE ARE YOU RIGHT NOW?
Why are you looking for me?
What do you want from me?
Why?
How am I the key to your life?
OH YEON-JOO
WHERE ARE YOU RIGHT NOW?
You know about it too, don't you?
You know that I saved Chul's life.
You didn't draw that, did you?
He's a monster.
So I decided to judge him.
Research some poisons.
I think he's going to kill Chul again.
You can't! That's murder!
We finally meet, Oh Yeon-joo.
You've piqued my interest.
See you next time.
-Yeon-joo.
-You're fully recovered already?
What do you mean, "already"?
I was in bed for two months.
Two months have passed?
This is a series.
Do we need an incident that could lead
to the next chapter?
An incident! What kind of incident?
I was right about her.
She's crazy.
A madwoman.
I finally found it. The key to my life.
The editor already received
the manuscript.
What is this?
Do as I say and take it down now!
That's why I have to end his life
right now.
