It's the start of a new day for your afterlife partner, Jumadeung.
I think I had too much for lunch.
It's pretty quiet today.
Don't say that.
You can't say things are quiet.
Why?
You might not know this,
but if you say something like that, things always get busy.
Like a jinx or something?
Come on. Who believes in that stuff?
What? What…
ERROR
After we downloaded some graphics from the Land of the Living,
the entire company was infected with a virus.
We're still trying to identify it…
When will it be fixed?
There's so much to be done.
We'll call you back.
From what we can see now,
it'll take two or three days.
Two days?
That's way too long…
Due to an intranet issue,
there is heavy foot traffic in the building.
To prevent any accidents, please stop working
and wait for instructions from your designated Reaper.
We have to write entries into the Book of the Deceased by hand,
one person at a time.
Please correctly document your name, date of birth, and time you were born.
Wait for instructions from your designated Reaper. Thank you.
Why aren't they picking up?
SOUL ENTRY AND EXIT RECORD
ERROR
I don't understand.
The afterworld has computer viruses too?
The afterworld mirrors the Land of the Living.
All we know is that the victim works in SP Beauty's marketing team,
and that they were born in April.
At least we have that.
-Let's go. -Yes, ma'am.
Hello. How may I help you?
Yes.
So…
it's someone
in there?
The company's bigger than I thought.
ERROR
They said it'll take two or three days?
Yes.
Finding a risk case with just two team members is impossible.
The RM Team isn't the only one with problems.
You saw it yourself.
How serious the entire situation is at Jumadeung with that virus or whatever.
So what do you expect us to do?
They say to some, an emergency is a chance.
Team Manager Park told me
he couldn't understand why people choose death so easily
when it only takes a few words to give them the will to live again.
So you show him, Ryeon.
That what saves people is not your powers
but the weight of your words.
EPISODE 7: A PRISON WITHOUT BARS
Having no support from Jumadeung
means we can't fake employment, hack in, or use our powers.
It's too risky to do this blindly.
So, you know.
If faking a position is too hard, can't we go in as a part-timer?
SP Beauty's marketing team just posted this on Albajiok.
They're looking for part-timers.
ALBAJIOK OFFICE ASSISTANT RECRUITMENT
Mr. Choi Jun-woong.
It's not the sort of company that accepts anyone who applies.
They only pick the most qualified candidates even for part-timers.
Well, if you can clean up things once everything is said and done,
I can whip up some amazing qualifications for you guys.
But the problem is the interview.
I think I'll get in without a problem.
What?
There are high-pressure, debate,
in-depth, multiple-day, and drinking interviews.
They'll be rude and jeer at you, while attacking your personality.
You two?
I don't think so.
I might not look like it,
but I beat thousands of other candidates to get into Jumadeung.
Okay, it might be a little easier for you, then.
For Mr. Lim.
To explain it simply,
an interview is a legitimate opportunity for you to shamelessly brag
about the things you can't say in front of others.
And you do it all with a smile on your face.
I am like a grasshopper.
While an ant spends all summer gathering food for the winter,
a grasshopper spends the whole summer singing.
However, I think a true asset to a company is not a hardworking ant,
but a grasshopper, who is creative and pushes boundaries.
I am that creative and boundary-pushing grasshopper!
That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
What kind of part-timer would we pick? Lazy grasshoppers or hardworking ants?
Mr. Lim Ryung-gu?
Yes, that's me.
What do you think is the problem with this company's products?
Well.
Your colors are clearly divided between cool tones and warm tones.
But you market them saying they can be used regardless of skin tone,
which is clearly making a fool out of the customer.
It's impossible to use the same color for different skin tones.
You have a point. And?
Your campaign marketing relies too much on your existing clientele.
While your events do fit the latest trends,
you don't have an outlet to advertise them.
And?
-You wanted more? -No? That's it?
I have more but you might find it unpleasant.
I'm open-minded.
Your biggest problem is that your makeup targets young women in their 20s,
but they have you,
a middle-aged man with no insight into young people,
conducting this interview, which--
Wait.
Mr. Lim Ryung-gu.
Here's some advice from someone who has more life experience.
You might not like this but…
Then I don't want to hear it. You said I might not like it.
If it's something I might not like, I'd rather not hear it at all.
You little…
Well.
You two are out.
Ms. Koo Ryeon?
What is your height and weight?
Pardon?
Don't take this the wrong way. We sell women's beauty products
so a part of my job is to take note of the appearances and figures
of the members of my team.
From now on, why don't you put on your resume that you
double-majored in a nice face and a hot bod?
Come on, don't give me that look.
It was a joke to make you smile since you looked so nervous.
Would you look at that?
Ms. Koo, you're in.
You can start work right now
and the two of you are out.
Goodness.
He stepped on a golf ball and fell.
-What should we do? -What should we do?
Ma'am, I think he fainted.
Shouldn't we wake him up?
Here.
-Are you okay? -What?
I think these two are better than me at quick responses and problem-solving.
Maybe you're right?
I trust you'll hire such talented people.
Ms. Shin. Good.
This is our assistant manager, Shin Ye-na. She's the best on our team.
These are the part-timers who'll assist the opening event.
-Show them around. -Yes, sir.
Try to be as good as Ms. Shin here. Then I won't have anything to worry about.
-Sir. -Here you go.
Jeez.
I texted you ages ago, why are you late?
There was a meeting.
Who do you think comes first, me or them?
Are you that stupid?
I'm sorry, sir.
If anyone asks, I went to see a client.
Yes, sir.
Gosh.
Corporate life sure is hard.
Excuse me, Ms. Jeong.
Yes, Ms. Shin.
I'm sorry, but could you help them?
I have to prepare for the meeting.
-Hello. -Okay.
Thank you.
Nice to meet you all. I'm Jeong Bo-ram.
The work's fairly straightforward.
Grab just the product using the pen tool,
then separate it from the background by putting it on a new layer.
That's all you need to do for now.
Okay, so, go find an empty spot and you can start working.
Thanks.
Tomorrow is the grand opening for the 100th shop.
The event is at the end of this month.
Make sure the free giveaways are ready. The event needs to go off without a hitch.
Ms. Jeong?
I called and asked the factory.
They said they can meet the deadline we requested.
Tell them they must be on time.
Once they're done, make sure you check
-to see if the store receives them. -Okay.
-Mr. Kim. -Yes.
Can we find them before it's fixed?
We have to find them.
Everyone looked fine on the surface.
There's a company intranet, right?
I'll look for people born in April.
Don't get caught.
Okay, good luck!
Good luck…
HAM MAN-SIK, TEAM MANAGER
Damn.
Let's take a look here.
Damn.
Born in April…
Jeez!
Every time I go, they're on a holiday. Stupid screen golf center.
I guess they're too rich to work hard.
Jeez.
I'll have to change golf centers.
Ma'am, what about Mr. Lim?
Listen carefully.
-If he gets caught, we're abandoning him. -What?
Come on, ma'am.
It's the only way.
Are you okay?
I think it was just something I ate. I can't seem to keep it down.
I'm fine.
What do you do for exercise, Ms. Koo? Or are you on a diet?
I don't really gain weight easily.
I see.
I'm jealous.
I don't think you have to be jealous of anyone's figure, Ms. Shin.
Thank you.
Mr. Lim! You're alive!
Good job. It was a bit close there.
I almost got caught.
You almost got abandoned.
-Hey! -Yes, ma'am?
What?
You were going to abandon me?
Are you saying
I stink just because I sniffed around?
Do you really think I would do that, Mr. Lim?
We've known and worked together for more than a century.
So how did your search go?
Mr. Lim?
Jeong Bo-ram.
Kim Yong-jun.
Shin Ye-na.
Tomorrow is the grand…
Lee Dong-ja.
It's these four people.
Wait a minute. Who was Lee Dong-ja again?
Wait a minute.
Ms. Lee. Are you just coming to work now?
Why not take the whole day off while you're at it?
I'm sorry, sir.
But I did say I'd take the morning off.
Is that something to be proud of?
All you do is say, "I'm sorry."
What are you, a robot?
This is why working moms can't cut it.
If you have a kid, why don't you just stay home and focus on raising it?
Choose one or the other.
Why do you insist on coming to work and being a nuisance?
I'm sorry.
Who…
-We're part-timers. -We're part-timers.
Part-timers, yes.
Right. I'm Lee Dong-ja.
What is it, Ye-won?
No, stay there.
Daddy will be there soon.
I'm hanging up.
MY DAUGHTER YE-WON
Yes, Ye-won. What is it?
I'll go.
Ye-won, you can't keep calling me.
Mom, I don't like it here.
Yes. Where are you?
You said you were coming. When will you be here?
What? A meeting?
I have to go to a meeting right now too.
I told you to take the day off since Ye-won didn't have school today.
What do you mean I didn't! She's your kid too!
What is it?
Daddy isn't coming?
No.
He's going to be a bit late.
So…
No, I don't want to be alone!
What the hell do I do?
KIDS' CAFÉ
I thought it was a café
but it's a kids' café.
Yes.
Yes. I'll be there.
Mommy needs to go to a meeting now.
I don't want to be alone!
I'll stay with her.
What?
You can stay with me until your mom comes back, okay?
Still…
Aren't you late?
Ye-won, I'll be back soon.
You just play with her here, okay?
I'm sorry, but could you stay with her?
Thank you.
I think I now understand why everyone always complains about work.
Just sitting here is suffocating.
I thought your dream was to get a job.
I know.
Whoever's good at lifting things, can you come with me to the storage?
What? Wait a minute.
I mean, I think everyone would agree I look stronger.
Looks aren't everything.
I'm not the type to have any body fat on me.
In other words,
my entire body is made of muscle.
That's not…
I might not have been born rich, but I was born strong.
All it takes is a little weight lifting for me to add muscle.
Whenever I take a long walk,
I can feel my calf muscles getting more defined.
I just need someone with strong arms--
Just a minute.
Let's arm wrestle.
Don't blame me if your arm breaks.
That was an unnecessarily long warm-up.
You should always warm up thoroughly.
Warming up for defeat?
You're more talkative than usual.
Just like how your hand is sweatier than usual?
-Let's go. -Okay.
One,
two,
-three. -Sir.
Hello, Mr. Hand, here so soon?
Let's go.
-Follow me. -Okay.
I'll just wipe my hand and go.
Keep an eye on Jeong Bo-ram and Shin Ye-na.
How wet.
Ye-won.
Let's take a break.
Of course, you're fat if you eat like that.
Yes, that's your girlfriend.
Shut up.
Those little bastards.
Look at those calves.
-I've never seen anyone like that before. -I'm sorry,
but could I have some more chocolate chips?
She wants more chocolate chips.
You should quit eating chocolate unless you want to be like her.
I think you two look great together.
Shut up.
SP BEAUTY MARKETING TEAM, BORN APRIL
-Enjoy. -Enjoy.
Excuse me, I need to take this.
-Okay. -Okay.
She is so skinny.
I think she's skinnier than before.
Her clothes look awesome on her and she's great at her job.
-I'm so jealous. -Yes.
I think she looks too thin.
-She looks thin in a good way. -Yes.
How does that even work? If you're thin, you're thin.
Don't you agree?
You shouldn't talk about weight when you're eating.
You need to be reverent before food.
Reverent?
Ms. Jeong.
Stop eating so much.
Sir, I don't have a problem with my body, so why do you keep…
What do you mean you don't have a problem?
Ms. Jeong, you can't do that.
As an employee, you represent the company.
This isn't a food business, we make cosmetics.
Sir!
This is * harassment.
What?
Ms. Jeong. * harassment?
How is this * harassment?
What, did I touch you? Or did I do anything to you?
Jeez.
I'm saying this because I'm worried about you.
No man in Korea is going to like you if you're this fat, you know?
This is all because I'm trying to get you to take care of yourself.
Because I'm worried about you.
Isn't taking care of yourself different from watching your weight?
What?
What did you just say?
Taking care of yourself is different from watching your weight.
It's always the ones who don't take care of themselves
who use that excuse to criticize someone else.
Jeez!
You think you can lecture me?
You're nothing but a part-timer.
Young people these days.
They don't have any manners!
In my day, when your boss said something,
you'd say, "yes, sir," and do what they say!
Dear Reapers of Jumadeung,
your workday is over.
Thank you for your hard work as always.
I want…
to clock out for the day.
I mean.
Come on…
Why is my entire job just clicking on things?
My back.
Okay.
-Let's get to work. -Right, work.
How was Kim Yong-jun?
It's terrible being a contract worker.
They say if you have to work, you might as well work for a big company.
But even if you work for the same company,
it's just not the same as being a regular worker.
Still, won't this hard work
pay off eventually?
There's the rent, the bills, the student loan payments,
and whatever's left is gone
after you order in a couple of times on weekends.
Do you still think hard work is all you need?
Escape.
What?
My college friends and I are preparing to start a business,
and we just got investors.
I'll be joining them soon.
I know we'll have to work our *s off, but we might make it big.
Look how cryptocurrency surged in value even though no one expected it to.
You never know.
Yes.
He was thinking about his future.
He didn't seem like someone planning to kill themselves.
What about Ms. Lee Dong-ja?
-When will your mom come back? -I don't know.
Mommy is always busy.
-Really? -Yes, but my mom's really cool.
Why?
My mom makes people better and cooler.
She said she's working hard
so I can use nicer things when I grow up.
I see.
Ye-won!
Ye-won, I'm sorry.
Goodness. Honey, Mommy's sorry.
Did you have fun?
I'm sorry, honey.
I'm late. I'm sorry.
Stop being sorry.
What?
-Did you miss the meeting? -No.
Then were you late?
No.
-Then did you underperform at your job? -No. I've never done that, really.
Right, you never did. So why act like you did?
If you act like that, people will get the wrong idea.
The company and your child.
They'll think you did something wrong.
You're doing great already.
Right? Isn't your mom doing great?
Yes!
She's having a hard time juggling work and family life,
but she loves both her job and her kid.
I think it's Ms. Shin Bo-ram.
-Jeong Bo-ram. -I think it's Ms. Jeong Bo-ram.
Of course, you're fat if you eat like that.
You should quit eating chocolate unless you want to be like her.
Yes, that's your girlfriend.
I saw the Negative Energy Levels go up!
I think it's due to the horrible things Ham Man-sik spews at her.
Shin Ye-na…
Ms. Shin Ye-na is…
Tomorrow is the grand opening for the 100th shop.
The event is at the end of this month.
Everyone wants to be like her.
She was promoted quickly too.
I think it's definitely
-Ms. Shin Bo-ram. -Jeong Bo-ram.
Ms. Jeong Bo-ram!
It's too early to be sure.
SP BEAUTY MARKETING TEAM, BORN APRIL
"GRIM REAPER" HAS INVITED "A PRISON WITHOUT BARS" TO THE CHAT
I WANT TO LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE NO ONE LOOKS AT ME
CAN YOU REALLY DIE WITHOUT PAIN?
IT WAS DEVELOPED AS A GUARANTEED AND PAINLESS WAY TO END YOUR LIFE
Yes, we'll take care of it. Yes.
Hello, this is SP Beauty.
Yes?
What is it?
The free giveaways for the 100th shop haven't shipped out yet.
Ms. Jeong put in the order for 15:00, but the supplier mistook it for 5 p.m.
I'm sorry!
Hey! You think you can make this go away by saying sorry?
How is it possible that we don't have any giveaways
at our 100th store opening?
We already sent a text out,
so there will be a lot of customers coming!
All you do is stuff your face,
I knew she would do this!
Ms. Jeong, so how far along are they? Have they packed the products yet?
They're checking for faulty products now.
So everything should be done before 4 p.m.
-In about an hour. -Yes.
They have all their employees at the factory now,
but they're not sure if they can finish packing by 4 p.m.
Looks like we're going to have to give people
products that haven't even been packaged!
Damn it!
I'll go to the factory and help with the packaging.
I'll go too!
We'll go too.
Me too.
Why would you guys go?
Don't you need all the help you can get?
Right. Isn't that why you hired us?
Sure. We need all the hands we can get.
Stack them carefully.
I told the customers that
the giveaway promotion will be delayed about an hour,
but our model for the makeup demonstration left
because she had another appointment.
We worked so hard to get the makeup artist for this event.
I can't wait any longer.
What do we do?
I'll do it, then.
No.
After all, this is to model the makeup.
She might work.
Could you do it for us, Ms. Koo?
Please?
Okay, but I don't work for free. You can buy me dinner later.
Okay, I will.
I'm sorry about the model thing earlier.
It's okay.
I just wanted to help…
Don't worry about it.
Thank you.
I haven't had steak in so long.
Is it good?
Yes. It's delicious.
There are mushrooms too.
It's good.
Here, try this too.
Thank you.
How is it?
I haven't tried it yet.
Isn't it good?
I think it will be.
I'll just pop to the bathroom…
Ms. Shin Ye-na?
Yes.
I think our suicide risk case this time is Shin Ye-na.
What about Ms. Jeong Bo-ram?
It's not Jeong Bo-ram.
She seems like a kindhearted person, with high self-esteem.
The steakhouse was amazing.
It was crispy on the outside and pink on the inside.
And it was tender like cheese. The perfect combination of texture.
Let's go together next time.
She looked so down when Ham Man-sik was criticizing her.
It's only human to react that way. That's nothing to do with self-esteem.
Who wouldn't feel pain when they've been cut with a knife?
Feeling pain and having scars is the same for everyone.
But I don't see the reason why you're so sure it's Shin Ye-na.
Didn't you notice anything off about Shin Ye-na?
Not really, apart from how talkative she was…
She didn't eat anything.
She kept on talking while cutting her food into smaller and smaller pieces.
I haven't had steak in so long. Is it good?
There are mushrooms too.
The sauce is really good.
She kept asking pointless questions…
How is it? Is it good?
I haven't tried it yet.
and talked about how good the food was without eating anything.
I think it's great too.
She would put her fork down after putting it up to her mouth.
The only thing she ate
was a piece of mushroom.
I didn't know. I thought she was really enjoying the meal.
I don't think you have to be jealous of anyone's figure, Ms. Shin.
Thank you.
Actually, I was curious why Shin Ye-na
had that cut on her hand.
All she ate was that little piece of mushroom,
but she stuck her finger down her throat and threw that up.
This wasn't just a one-off occurrence.
And that's probably how she hurt her hand too.
So that's why you asked Shin Ye-na to buy you dinner.
She's obsessed with being thin?
Why?
I don't know.
Only Shin Ye-na has the answer to that.
Our father who art in heaven,
lead us not into temptation and deliver us from evil.
Please, help me.
Please.
Please…
What's everyone doing today? Let's have a team dinner?
Everyone stay after work, okay?
This is so annoying.
He just wants to use the company card to drink.
Ms. Jeong, do you have anything sweet?
Here, have as many as you want.
Thank you so much. I'll have that one.
Well, Jeong Bo-ram.
Stop stuffing your face. Jeez.
Pigs will be asking you to be friends at this rate.
Whatever. No matter what you say,
I'm going to stay true to my healthy pig self.
Fine.
-Hey, Mr. Woo. -Yes, sir.
You know there's a team dinner today, right?
You have to stay until the end.
Have some too, Ms. Shin.
It's okay.
You've been so busy with the opening event and everything.
I haven't seen you eat much lately, so I'm worried about you.
I'm fine.
Come on, just have a little.
To keep your blood sugar up.
Ms. Jeong! Aren't you embarrassed about your weight?
I know you don't like what Mr. Ham says, so why don't you stop eating?
-Ms. Shin. -Why?
Why would you
keep on stuffing yourself and eating everything you want?
Why? Don't you have any self-restraint?
I'm sorry. I was being too pushy, wasn't I?
I guess you've been under a lot of stress lately.
I'm sorry, Ms. Jeong.
It's okay.
Get some rest.
She's so skinny.
I wish I could be that skinny, even for a day.
-But it won't happen in this lifetime. -Same here.
Look.
Look how thin she is. Gross.
-I bet her bones would break with a kick. -Go on then.
Don't be ridiculous.
-I don't like women that thin. -Me neither.
I can hear you. I can hear everything.
Please, stop!
It's gross.
Ms. Shin Ye-na's condition looks critical.
It's going up.
If something were to happen to Shin Ye-na,
it'll probably be today.
Everyone.
Good job on the opening event for the 100th shop!
To SP Beauty!
SP!
-For… -Good job, everyone.
Good job, everyone.
Come on, Ms. Shin.
Why did you come if you're not going to drink?
I don't feel very well…
No wonder you're so thin.
You know, it's unattractive for a woman to be so thin.
Didn't you have enough?
We've got one who's too big
and one who's too thin.
So the two of you should mix so you're just the right amount of curvy--
What is this?
Eat up, sir.
There must have been a bone inside.
There was a bone…
Are you okay?
Sir, where's the bathroom?
Right there.
-Oh, no. -Serves him right.
Hey, there's bone. Be careful.
Ms. Shin.
Are you okay?
You don't look well.
She's right.
You must have been very stressed.
I think you lost more weight.
Stop it.
You need to gain some weight. Here, eat.
Why is everyone telling me what to do?
She's nothing but bones, yet her stomach sticks out.
Isn't that muffin top?
She looks gross now that she's thinner.
She needs to gain some weight.
She must have been fat before.
Stop. Stop, please, stop!
Ms. Shin.
Ms. Shin!
Damn it…
Ma'am, it's back up. But her Negative Energy Levels are…
-Let's split up. -Okay.
Ms. Shin!
No.
Apartment…
Six…
Sixteen…
SHIN YE-NA, ASSISTANT MANAGER
NITROGEN
Ms. Shin.
Ms. Shin!
MYEONGIN UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
Are you okay?
Why did you save me?
Why did you try to kill yourself?
What is it that has you in so much pain?
I don't know.
Why I have to live like this.
What I'm living for.
Why are you so obsessed with being skinny?
Obsessed?
I'm sorry if I've offended you.
I heard you throw up after you eat.
People who are normal
wouldn't understand.
But you're so much thinner than most people.
I was fat when I was young.
All the way up through high school.
SHIN YE-NA
You psycho, why are you spraying disinfectant?
-Hey, Cholera. -What are you doing?
I'm disinfecting her.
Hog cholera is going around these days, you know.
My nickname during high school was cholera.
Because hog cholera was at its peak then.
-Give me that. -She smells like a pig.
-Right, left, up. -She's going to be suyuk at this rate.
-Hey, it's your girlfriend. -Whatever.
-Go tell her you love her. -You guys are perfect together.
-She smells. -Come on, take that back.
-Pork cutlet?
How about pork cutlet for dinner?
Hey, I want bossam.
-Bossam would work too. -Right?
But did you know
pigs can never see the sky?
The pigs are being put into tanks and are being buried.
Around 1,300 pigs are…
I thought I should just die
if I can't ever live seeing the sky.
I thought, if you're fat, you can't even die if you want to.
That was
when I started throwing up.
I starved myself, as if my life was on the line.
I ate just enough to not die
and threw up the moment I felt full.
When I lost weight, people asked me how I did it
and complimented me.
Her clothes look awesome on her and she's great at her job.
-I'm so jealous. -It felt good.
And I was proud of myself.
I worked really hard…
and got recognition for it too.
Then why are you in so much pain?
I thought I could finally escape from people's gazes,
but whether I'm fat or thin,
people never stop judging how I look.
-She's so skinny. -I'm so jealous.
I wish I could be that skinny, even for a day.
Look how thin she is. Gross.
I bet her bones would break with a kick.
I don't like women that thin.
Me neither.
When I eat something to try to gain a little weight,
I throw up immediately
because I keep remembering how things were before.
It feels like I'm in a prison I can never escape from.
I really hate
how I am now.
What should we do? Should I call him?
I'm here.
I went to Ms. Shin Ye-na's house and brought her here.
Good job.
You should go in now. She's having a really hard time.
No. Choi Jun-woong.
You go in.
What?
You brought Shin Ye-na here,
so you can see this through.
Ma'am?
What? It's time we trust him with things.
Do you think I can do it?
Do it your way.
Okay.
My way…
What is that?
My little sister was like that too.
She went through something similar to you, and had a hard time.
She gained over ten kilograms studying for the college entrance exam.
I didn't think it would bother her because she was always so cheerful, but…
Hey, you're home.
Hi--
What's with her?
After her boyfriend broke up with her because of her weight,
she quickly became depressed.
Excuse me.
How much is this?
Come on, that wouldn't fit you.
Hey, excuse me.
She asked how much it was, not that she wanted to try it on.
Never mind.
At first, I thought she would get over it
but she didn't.
The looks people gave her must have been too cruel for her to bear.
Come on, get out here!
Just leave me alone!
No. Open the door right now.
Why?
Why are you in there instead of eating the food I prepared?
-Come on out right now and eat. -No, I don't want to!
I've had enough!
Are you an idiot?
-Mom! -Answer me, are you an idiot?
No, you're not.
So why would you change yourself into what other people want you to be?
Those people who only judge appearances will always find ways to criticize you,
no matter how perfect you are.
Don't let them tell you what to do.
Is your life theirs or yours?
No matter what people say, you should always be on your own side.
You're beautiful.
I've raised you into this beautiful person.
I think you're very similar to how my sister was then.
Are you saying it's my fault?
It was only for a moment for your sister,
but I've spent my whole life being judged by people.
Just because I was fat.
I've become trapped in this prison that other people have made for me.
You're right. I never went through that, so I don't really know.
It's possible that the people who made that prison and put you in there
were the people who've hurt you this whole time.
But…
don't you think you could be the one
who locked the door so you couldn't escape?
Don't try so hard…
to maintain a body you don't even want.
Your body is yours, not someone else's.
You should love and care for it yourself.
I want to be able to get you out.
I want to get you out,
but I don't know how.
When did this…
The key was in my hand all along.
SHIN YE-NA, ASSISTANT MANAGER
Was he always this eloquent?
So you show him, Ryeon.
That what saves people is not your powers
but the weight of your words.
It's because he's speaking from the heart.
Get rid of our fake resumes and turn in our resignations.
-Where are you going? -To finish the job.
I was hurt that you left without saying goodbye.
But I was so excited
when you asked me to meet you at a place like this.
So, there's something I've been wondering about for a while now.
You can ask me.
You've got these great legs.
Why would you hide them under those pants?
A pencil skirt would be absolutely perfect.
So I can teach idiots like you a lesson.
Ms. Koo. What are you, a thug?
What are you doing?
I'm older than your great-grandfather, show some respect.
Are you insane?
-Waist. -You--
Chest.
All things you've been harassing women about.
I didn't think you would understand it if I used words.
You're crazy!
No, you're crazy.
I think you'd learn best from firsthand experience, right?
From now on, whenever you hurt people's feelings,
you'll feel your gut twist
and you won't be able to stop going to the bathroom.
Your body will pay for the sins your mouth has committed.
The rest of your punishment
will come after your death.
Hey!
I've been too nice to you!
Hey!
Come back here! Stop!
Even when you hear people say rude things,
how can you shake it off so quickly and smile?
I can't help but be affected by it.
The truth is, I don't like hearing that stuff either.
But I really am happy with my own body.
I think that's how I can shake it off so quickly.
It might be hard to imagine,
but when I was young, I was all skin and bones.
I was really ill.
But I miraculously got better.
And since I can only live this life once,
no matter what other people say,
I decided to eat whatever I want and have fun.
And stay healthy too, of course.
Because my standard for happiness,
is myself.
Thank you for the wonderful advice, Ms. Jeong.
It's delicious.
This is great!
RISK MANAGEMENT TEAM EMPLOYEE CHOI JUN-WOONG
You're still here?
Why?
I was just worried.
What do we do when we find someone we have no idea how to help?
What do you think?
Our job is to still try to save them despite that.
They are the only ones who can free themselves
from their situation.
Our job is to offer them comfort, sympathy, and support
rather than a solution.
Those things can be difficult to come by in this harsh world.
And…
it's not like you're doing this alone.
Why are you worrying about the future anyway?
Fine.
Okay.
Ma'am.
What now?
You know, at the emergency room.
Why did you leave it up to me?
I just thought you were the right one for the job.
Based on what?
Call it an old person's instinct.
Now go home.
Okay.
Right.
I'll go ahead then.
Don't stay too late, ma'am.
EPILOGUE
My arm…
Come in.
What? There's more?
It's the handwritten record of souls.
The whole company is a mess because of this damn virus.
Good job. I know The Escort Team must have had the hardest time.
It's all right.
Machines may have made things easier, but you can't let your guard down.
The easier things get,
the worse it might be next time if we don't prepare for things like this.
I think we should have a backup grid or system in place.
Okay.
So…
Come on in.
Here are the documents you need to sign
for the reexamination of our network management system.
The System Management Team asked me to pass them along.
Hey!
Someone sent me a private message.
I found people who use suicide as a way to make money.
No. Don't do anything rash.
Never mind, I'll find this scammer myself.
Their ID is "Grim Reaper"?
"I'll join you too."
But we all promised that we would die together.
He's here.
We have to get out of here.
I already died once, I'm not scared of anything.
He's fine, right?
We need to get him.
Choi Jun-woong.
What's our job?
