He Was Forced To Experience The 12 Most Painful Deaths Just Because He Intended To Commit Suicide

Transcript

00:00:00This outstanding university student, Yi Yi, was on his way to a job interview one morning

00:00:05when he received a call from his girlfriend, Jai Su. She encouraged him, reminding him how

00:00:10few recent graduates even made it to the final round of interviews at a prestigious corporation

00:00:15like Tkeng. Yi Yi promised to do his best and hung up, bolstering his confidence and determination

00:00:21to land the job. As he walked, a man bumped hard into him and stumbled into the street.

00:00:28A car suddenly appeared, striking the man with brutal force and throwing him to the

00:00:32curb. Yi Yi crawled over to check on him. The man grabbed his shirt, seemingly about to

00:00:38say something, but then coughed up blood and collapsed, leaving Yi Yi terrified. Shaken by

00:00:43the incident, Yi Yi couldn't regain his composure during the interview. When his turn came, he

00:00:48was still reeling and couldn't even comprehend the questions the panel was asking. He lost

00:00:53his precious opportunity to other candidates. Thus began his arduous journey. Yi Yi was

00:00:59forced to take on menial labor to pay off his massive student loans. The COVID-19 pandemic

00:01:05further complicated his search for a job in his field. While others gained experience

00:01:10and climbed the corporate ladder, Yi Yi toiled in temporary, part-time positions, feeling a pang

00:01:15of envy whenever he saw office workers with stable jobs. His peers were settling down and

00:01:21starting families, secured by their careers, while Yi Yi remained stuck. He wrote hundreds

00:01:26of applications, trapped in a cycle of interviews and rejections. He'd apply, interview, get rejected,

00:01:32and then apply again. But after seven years of perseverance, he finally reached the final round

00:01:38of interviews at Tikang once more. The interviewers, reviewing his resume, seemed unimpressed. Despite

00:01:44his numerous qualifications and certifications, his work experience consisted solely of part-time

00:01:50jobs. When Yi Yi started to explain, director Park Tu cut him off, saying,

00:01:55You want to demonstrate your perseverance and willpower, right? Your father died when you were

00:02:00young, so you had to work hard to survive. Working so much and still earning all these certifications,

00:02:06you're pretty impressive. Yi Yi, secretly pleased by the compliment, left the interview feeling

00:02:11optimistic. Then, he received a devastating phone call from a friend. All the money he'd given

00:02:17Hyun Soo to invest was gone. The company was a scam. He raced to Hyun Soo's house, banging frantically

00:02:24on the door. Desperate, he used a fire extinguisher to break the lock, only to find himself consumed

00:02:30by despair at the realization that his entire savings had vanished. He was arrested for property

00:02:36damage. At the police station, the officer delivered another blow. According to Korean law,

00:02:42investments promising returns couldn't be prosecuted as fraud, leaving Yi Yi utterly distraught.

00:02:48Hyun Soo had convinced him to invest in the soon-to-be-listed company so he could afford to marry

00:02:53Jai Soo. Now, Yi Yi sat in the police station, tears streaming down his face, having lost everything.

00:03:00Dragging his feet home, Yi Yi's despair deepened at the sight of Jai Soo being dropped off by another man,

00:03:06a bouquet of flowers in her hand. He approached her, expressing his devastation after such a

00:03:11disastrous day, then turned to leave. Jai Soo offered him an envelope to help with living expenses,

00:03:17knowing he'd been traveling for interviews. Yi Yi took it and asked,

00:03:22Do you have a new boyfriend, despite her denial? He continued, I'm letting you go. I feel guilty that

00:03:27you're stuck with a failure like me. I'm a burden. I've been working like a dog, but my life is only

00:03:33going backward. Do you really think we have a future? He returned the envelope. Let's end this.

00:03:39Take care of yourself. Then, he turned and walked away, defeated. Arriving home, he found all his

00:03:46belongings thrown out of his apartment. He tried to salvage his wet electronics and furniture.

00:03:51The next morning, he sat alone amidst the wreckage of his possessions. A text message arrived.

00:03:57He'd been rejected by T-Kang. It was almost too much to bear. He picked up his T-Kang application,

00:04:03burst into tears, and collapsed. That evening, standing on a rooftop, Yi Yi stared at a billboard

00:04:09praising his alma mater for having the highest post-graduation employment rate in the country.

00:04:15He, however, was not among those fortunate graduates. He walked to the edge, deciding to contribute to

00:04:21South Korea's other leading statistic, its suicide rate. Rage consumed him as he remembered the accident

00:04:27victim from seven years prior. If it weren't for him, my life wouldn't be like this. I'm not afraid

00:04:33of death. It's just a way to end this suffering. He took another step, his mother's ringtone echoing

00:04:39beside him, a note left behind. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, floating in the sky, inside a luxurious

00:04:45airplane, his identity completely transformed. A woman in dark sunglasses sat nearby, holding a paper.

00:04:53She read aloud his final thoughts before his arrival. Then the paper burst into flames.

00:04:58You died, she announced. That's why you're here with me. Did you think I was a means to end your pain?

00:05:04Suddenly, they stood on a dark, towering pillar, lightning flashing, water churning below. Yi Yi returned

00:05:10to his original form. You will be punished before you reach hell, the woman declared.

00:05:15For mocking me. For I am the only true existence. She flew at him, seizing him by the throat and

00:05:22dangling him over a sea of death, swarming with bloodthirsty souls. I am what you scorned. I am

00:05:28death. You will be punished for mocking me. She released him into the abyss, where the waiting

00:05:33souls clawed and tore at him. Suddenly, Yi Yi awoke, in another body, and asked the death. What is my

00:05:40punishment? You will be stripped of your divinely granted privilege, death replied. Humans die only

00:05:46once, after a long life. Let's see if you still scorn me after you receive your full punishment.

00:05:51You will die twelve times. Your soul will inhabit the bodies of twelve people about to die. No matter

00:05:58what you do, you will die painfully. But, if you can avoid the death they were meant to face, you can live out the

00:06:04rest of their life in their body. You thought death was the end? This is only the beginning.

00:06:09Then, the death vanished. The plane began to shake violently as it entered a storm. Yi Yi fastened his

00:06:16seatbelt, sensing the imminent death she had foretold, and put on a life vest. A flight attendant

00:06:22rushed over, assuring him it was just turbulence, but Yi Yi insisted the plane was going down.

00:06:27The plane emerged from the storm into clear skies. Yi Yi breathed a sigh of relief, having survived his

00:06:34first brush with death. He walked to the back cabin, finding it filled with expensive liquor,

00:06:39designer suits, and luxurious items. A glowing stone zipped towards him, embedding itself in his forehead

00:06:46and flooding him with memories of his new identity. I am Park Jin Ti, thirty-three years old. I am the

00:06:52second son of the Tikang group chairman. My mansion has a luxurious pool, and three private jets are

00:06:58always at the ready in my garden. Since childhood, my brother and I have competed for our father's

00:07:03favor. I outperformed my brother in everything and was chosen as Tikang's heir. The stone dislodged? Yi Yi

00:07:11realized he was now the CEO of Tikang, the company he'd spent his youth striving to join. Confidently, he

00:07:17tossed aside the life vest, recognizing all the luxury around him as his own. He sat down,

00:07:23reveling in his reincarnation jackpot. But his joy was short-lived. Outside, one of the plane's engines

00:07:30erupted in flames. The plane plummeted, sending the keyball air tumbling. The pilot struggled to

00:07:36control the aircraft. Yi Yi, the keyball son, strapped himself back into his seat. But the atmospheric

00:07:43pressure ripped a hole in the fuselage, sucking the pilot out. Yi Yi reached out, trying to grab the

00:07:48flight attendant. But it was too late. The plane spiraled downwards, exploding in a fiery crash.

00:07:55Yi Yi awoke back in his original form, in the shadowy realm of death. He found her with eleven

00:08:00bullets on a table, the clock's hand now at eleven, signifying one life lived. These bullets represent

00:08:07your remaining deaths, death explained. Each bullet you take grants you a new beginning. The glowing

00:08:13stone transfers the host's memories and abilities to you. Yi Yi, frustrated, argued that surviving a

00:08:19crashing plane was impossible. What happens if I can't survive, he asked. Death appeared before him.

00:08:26You go to hell. It's right behind that door. I'll show you. She led him to a terrifying vista of

00:08:32hellfire. Yi Yi, looking down at the burning abyss, was filled with fear. He fell to his knees,

00:08:38weeping. What sins have I committed to deserve this? Every day of my life was hell. Must I also

00:08:44endure hell and death? Your sin was meeting me before I came for you, death replied. Now you know

00:08:51what true hell is. Whether you go there or not is up to you. If you can preserve your life when you

00:08:56awaken in another body, you won't go to hell. A desperate desire to live surged within Yi Yi.

00:09:02He would seize this chance. This isn't a chance, death corrected. It's your punishment, to teach

00:09:08you the fear and pain of death. Let's begin round two. Death sent him off again. He fell, floating

00:09:15through the air, then materialized in another body, wearing a skydiving suit, but without a parachute.

00:09:21He tumbled through the air, caught by a teammate who stabilized him. Then, the glowing stone arrived,

00:09:27bringing with it a new set of memories. I'm Song Yi Siob, 38 years old, an extreme sports enthusiast.

00:09:34Since childhood, I've held four Guinness World Records for my stunts. Today, I'll be skydiving

00:09:40from 8,000 meters without a parachute, landing on a net. It's live on national television and streaming

00:09:46worldwide on my social media. If I succeed, I get three billion won from my sponsors. Yi Yi,

00:09:53thrilled at the prospect of three billion won, released his teammate to control his descent

00:09:58alone. Television ratings soared to record levels, the studio buzzing with excitement. Yi Yi located

00:10:04the landing net and hurtled downwards. Viewers around the world held their breath. The 38-year-old was

00:10:11confident he'd land safely and start a new life with his winnings. Moments later, he hit the ground. A puff of

00:10:18dust rose. The world watched in stunned silence. Viewership peaked at 30%. Death's clock ticked back

00:10:24to 10. Yi Yi awoke in his own form. Recalling the disastrous landing, he muttered. Why would anyone

00:10:31try landing without a parachute? Death appeared, prompting him toward his next demise. Why do I

00:10:37have to die as soon as I open my eyes? Yi Yi protested. These are all unavoidable deaths.

00:10:43You have to find a way to survive, Death retorted. This is your punishment. Your sins were great

00:10:49enough to anger God himself. You need to figure out what those sins are and why you took your own life.

00:10:56My life was nothing but darkness, Yi Yi argued. I was born poor. Despite my best efforts, I couldn't

00:11:02find a job and lost the woman I loved. I saw no hope. But why am I suffering like this? I never harmed

00:11:09anyone. Death challenged him. Think carefully. Have you truly harmed no one? You are a selfish man.

00:11:17She picked up a bullet. Yi Yi, find a way to survive. Stop complaining to me. She sent him on

00:11:23his way. He awoke in a school, not as a teacher, but as a small, high school student. How is this kid

00:11:30going to die, he wondered. A classmate watched a video of Yi Yi's failed landing attempt, laughing and

00:11:36jeering. How could anyone be so stupid? Yi Yi was about to confront him when the memory stone arrived.

00:11:43I am Hyuk Soo, 17 years old. My father died when I was five, and my mother worked tirelessly to raise me.

00:11:50Seeing her struggle, I tried to study hard. But I was constantly bullied at school. The bullies extorted

00:11:56money from me and made me their plaything. I didn't want to tell my mother. She would feel guilty for my

00:12:02existence. Every school day was hell. Jin Sang, the bully, and his gang were demons. I threatened Jin

00:12:09Sang, if you bully me again, I'll jump off the roof. But he just beat me and said, no one cares if you die.

00:12:16He continued to abuse me, demanding I buy him strawberry milk. I finally wrote a suicide note,

00:12:21and am on my way to the rooftop. Yi Yi now recognized the bully who tormented his current host.

00:12:27Hyuk Soo. Yi Yi went to read the letter Hyuk Soo had written and realized the student was preparing

00:12:33to end his life. Wait, so if I don't go up to the rooftop now, I won't have to. I won't have to go

00:12:40to hell. Yi Yi felt a surge of relief, but was suddenly struck hard on the head by Jin Sang. He clutched

00:12:46his cheek as Jin Sang demanded he buy them strawberry milk. Jin Sang hit him on the head again and walked

00:12:53away. Suddenly, Hyuk Soo grabbed a chair and swung it directly at Jin Sang's head. He then kicked him

00:13:00hard and was hit by one of Jin Sang's underlings. Yi Yi, using his inherent fighting skills, knocked down

00:13:06the underling and grabbed Jin Sang by the head, throwing him across the room. Yi Yi choked Jin Sang,

00:13:12demanding he never touch him again and apologize. Unexpectedly, Hyuk Soo was tackled by another one of the

00:13:19bullies. He struggled to get up, but was easily subdued. He continued to resist, but was thrown to

00:13:25the ground and repeatedly kicked. Yi Yi was then brutally beaten by Jin Sang while being restrained

00:13:31by two of his lackeys. At that moment, classmates announced the teacher's arrival, prompting Jin Sang

00:13:37to threaten Hyuk Soo. You're dead after school. Yi Yi sat at Hyuk Soo's desk, realizing he had overpowered the

00:13:44leader, Jin Sang. But Tseok, the other tough guy, was someone he couldn't beat. No matter how skilled

00:13:51he was, they were simply bigger. Yi Yi remembered the Grim Reaper's words and resolved to find a way to

00:13:56survive. After school, Yi Yi was again beaten by Jin Sang and his gang in the gym. Tseok tried to

00:14:03intervene, telling Jin Sang to stop, but was shoved hard and slapped. Jin Sang only stopped when Tseok

00:14:10apologized. He was about to continue torturing Hyuk Soo, when the pretty girl, Min Jai, told him to

00:14:16stop. They then, temporarily, left Hyuk Soo alone. Yi Yi wondered, did she do that to save me? But the

00:14:24girl called Hyuk Soo crazy and left. Yi Yi walked to Hyuk Soo's home. Looking at a picture of Hyuk Soo and

00:14:31his mother, Yi Yi realized the student was also raised by a single mother, just like him. Yi Yi read a note on

00:14:37the refrigerator from Hyuk Soo's mother reminding him not to skip meals, and remembered his own

00:14:42mother doing the same thing. He remembered going to her workplace to help her clean, and how they

00:14:48laughed and talked together happily. Because of that happiness and poverty, he had never wished to be

00:14:53rich, only wanting a stable job, marriage, and a simple family like everyone else. But that ordinary

00:14:59life was something he hadn't been able to achieve. That evening, Hyuk Soo's mother treated Yi Yi to his

00:15:05favorite stir-fried meat. Yi Yi spoke to her with affection. When she gave him a piece of meat,

00:15:11Yi Yi saw his own mother's image and heard her voice. Everything will be alright, son, causing him

00:15:17to burst into tears, surprising Hyuk Soo's mother. Yi Yi continued eating to reassure her. Back in Hyuk Soo's

00:15:24room, as he was about to call his own mother, he received a text from Jin Sang demanding 50,000 won by the

00:15:30next day. Yi Yi read the note Hyuk Soo had written, learning how terrible he felt lying to his mother

00:15:36for money to give to Jin Sang. Hyuk Soo hated himself and wanted to die. Yi Yi remembered that Tsiok seemed

00:15:43to be suffering at Jin Sang's hands as well. Looking in the mirror, Yi Yi spoke to Hyuk Soo's body.

00:15:49I will definitely deal with the guy who drove you to this. The next day, during class, Tsiok excused himself

00:15:56to go to the restroom. Exiting the stall, he found Hyuk Soo waiting outside. Yi Yi began his manipulation.

00:16:03I see you're much stronger than Jin Sang. I don't understand how he's your boss. Are you afraid of

00:16:09him? Tsiok grabbed Yi Yi by the collar. Who says I'm afraid of him? Do you think I enjoy being under

00:16:15someone who was even beaten by you? It's because he has. Before Tsiok could finish, Jin Sang walked in.

00:16:22Tsiok quickly covered. I was just telling him not to get cocky. Jin Sang checked the spot where he had

00:16:29hit Tsiok the day before and slapped him again, threatening to give Hyuk Soo another beating. Yi Yi

00:16:35followed Tsiok, who continued his interrupted explanation. I can beat Jin Sang with one hand.

00:16:41But every time I try to do anything to him, someone protects him. He's a third-year,

00:16:46Xiang Hyuk. He's the strongest in this area. Jin Sang learned Taekwondo with him in elementary school.

00:16:53He's part of Xiang Hyuk's group. That's why Jin Sang acts like a big shot here, even though he's all bark

00:16:59and no bite. Hearing this, Yi Yi decided to find a clever way to deal with Jin Sang. Later, while Yi Yi was

00:17:06eating a bowl of noodles, Jin Sang shoved his face into it. Yi Yi called him out, then dumped the

00:17:13remaining noodles and the bowl onto Jin Sang's head. He smiled and walked away. Jin Sang roared and

00:17:19ordered Tsiok, catch Hyuk Soo. One of the underlings started to get up. But Tsiok stopped him. Just

00:17:26sit down and finish your meal. Then Tsiok told Jin Sang, go take a shower and clean yourself up.

00:17:32Everyone burst into laughter, humiliating Jin Sang, especially in front of Min Jai. He ran out.

00:17:38Earlier, Yi Yi had told Tsiok, if I do something to Jin Sang, don't interfere.

00:17:45That senior won't dare touch you. Jin Sang went to Xiang Hyuk for help. Teach that classmate a lesson.

00:17:51Can you help me? Please, boss. Xiang Hyuk agreed and they marched to the classroom,

00:17:57armed with bats. Yi Yi was happily reading a webtoon when Tsiok, worried about Xiang Hyuk's retaliation,

00:18:04said nervously. What are we going to do? Yi Yi replied. I have a plan. It's right here,

00:18:09in my heart. Just then, Xiang Hyuk and his crew barged into the classroom,

00:18:14who dumped noodles on Jin Sang's head. Jin Sang pointed at Hyuk Soo. His pathetic expression looking

00:18:21up at Xiang Hyuk filled the older boy with disappointment. The underlings realized,

00:18:26we brought this whole crew here for this scrawny nerd. This is embarrassing, Xiang Hyuk said to Jin Sang.

00:18:32You can't even handle a weakling like this yourself, he grabbed Jin Sang by the collar.

00:18:37Don't act like we're close anymore. Xiang Hyuk then led his crew out of the classroom.

00:18:42Seeing that Jin Sang had been abandoned for being too weak, Yi Yi taunted him.

00:18:47Say something to me directly. No more boss to back you up, huh? Jin Sang tried to hit Yi Yi,

00:18:53but Tsiok intervened, finally unleashing his pent-up frustration. Jin Sang's reign as class

00:18:59bully was officially over. He walked down the stairs, bumping into Tsiok but not daring to say a word.

00:19:06One of his former lackeys even slapped him in the face, but he had to take it. He continued walking

00:19:11only to see his crush, Min Jai, with Xiang Hyuk. She even called him an idiot. That evening, Yi Yi jogged

00:19:18in the park, hoping to help Hyuk Soo's body gain some muscle. He worried about his own future job

00:19:24prospects. Suddenly, a drunken Jin Sang appeared, blaming him. It's all your fault, Yi Yi admitted.

00:19:31It is my fault. But it all started with you, you psycho, Jin Sang, filled with resentment,

00:19:36remembered everything he'd endured after his downfall. Yi Yi walked away, putting in his earbuds.

00:19:43Reaching an intersection, a dump truck barreled towards him. The driver slammed on the brakes,

00:19:48yelling, Are you trying to die? As the truck drove off, a brick struck Yi Yi's head,

00:19:53knocking him to the ground. Jin Sang, in a frenzy, unleashed his fury on Hyuk Soo. Yi Yi awoke in the

00:20:00dark abyss of hell, back in his own body. The clock hand rewound to nine. The Grim Reaper appeared.

00:20:06Yi Yi expressed his frustration. I died at the hands of a bully, after stopping Hyuk Soo from killing

00:20:12himself. Did you interfere so I'd die again? I'm going to hell anyway, why these games? The Grim Reaper

00:20:19flew towards him, sending him sprawling. She stepped on his face. If you try to end your own life while

00:20:25serving your punishment, you'll experience pain worse than hell. As you said, Hyuk Soo was supposed

00:20:31to die by suicide. But your death was a result of your own choices, not my interference. Yi Yi pleaded.

00:20:38Put me in a body where it's easier to survive. The Grim Reaper declared, the pain will only intensify.

00:20:44Then she sent him away again. Yi Yi woke up. It was pitch black. He was hooded, with the sounds of a

00:20:51cutting tool and sparks flying around him. Thugs repeatedly poured water over his head,

00:20:57then removed the hood. The leader demanded, where's the girl and the money? A thug prepared to jab a

00:21:03screwdriver into Yi Yi's eye. He said, I'll tell you. Just give me a moment. I haven't remembered yet.

00:21:09The leader raised a hammer, about to strike, just as the memory stone flew in and entered Yi Yi's body.

00:21:17I am Lee Ju Hun, 35 years old. My profession is, simply put, a cleaner, and I have clients all over

00:21:24the world. It's a large, clandestine criminal organization, and of course, we're willing to kill

00:21:29on request. I got involved with my boss's beautiful mistress. She begged me to help her escape this hell.

00:21:36I stole 10 billion won from my boss's secret slush fund to escape with her, stashing it somewhere safe.

00:21:43But I was caught by my boss on my way to meet her. Yi Yi now kicked the leader hard and fought the gang

00:21:49members one by one. With Lee Ju Hun's skills flowing through him, in just a few flickers of the lights,

00:21:55the thugs were down. Yi Yi looked in the mirror, feeling like he was living in a gangster movie.

00:22:00So I could die at any moment. But, wait, he's hiding 10 billion won. I have to find that money.

00:22:07With money, I can get better protection. With this guy's skills, my chances of survival are pretty good.

00:22:14I have to take this risk. Yi Yi kicked open the door of the moving truck, jumped onto a motorcycle,

00:22:20and sped off. He weaved through oncoming traffic without a helmet, then swerved into the correct lane,

00:22:26feeling incredibly cool on the powerful bike. The gang leader woke up and reported to the boss,

00:22:32we lost Lee Ju Hun. The boss put out an all points bulletin, hunt down that traitor.

00:22:38Even patrol officers are offered a 2 billion won reward for his capture. Numerous motorcycles

00:22:44were deployed. Foreign operatives, heavily armed, joined the pursuit. The gang leader drove the truck

00:22:50after Yi Yi. The boss declared, Lee Ju Hun, you won't live to see tomorrow. Yi Yi sped onto a road

00:22:56prohibited to motorcycles and onto a bridge. A foreign operative fired at him repeatedly. Yi Yi expertly

00:23:03maneuvered the motorcycle to dodge the bullets, then popped a wheelie to accelerate. Another operative

00:23:09shot out the tire of a car to block Yi Yi, but he swerved around it. The gang leader, driving the truck

00:23:15head on, crashed and flipped the vehicle. A thug aimed at Yi Yi, but his car collided with the overturned

00:23:22truck and exploded. Yi Yi rode through the flames. Other foreign operatives rushed towards the inferno,

00:23:28seemingly choosing to die with their comrades. Motorcycles followed Yi Yi through the thick black

00:23:33smoke. Suddenly, a police car appeared, ramming one of the pursuing motorcycles. Then, the police car

00:23:40joined the remaining motorcycles chasing Yi Yi. Reaching an intersection, Yi Yi accelerated through,

00:23:46causing a multi-car pileup. The motorcycles weaved through the wreckage and continued the pursuit.

00:23:52Finding himself blocked, Yi Yi swerved down another road, the chase continuing relentlessly.

00:23:58He rode the motorcycle into a shopping mall, the thugs hot on his heels. He was surrounded. Thinking fast,

00:24:04he rode into an open elevator, quickly closing the doors and ascending. He reached the rooftop

00:24:10of the mall, only to find himself cornered by the relentless pursuers. The boss stepped out and

00:24:15aimed his gun at Lee Joo Hun. Yi Yi, deciding to risk it all one last time, charged at the boss,

00:24:22then reversed, gaining momentum to crash through the barrier and land his motorcycle in a swimming

00:24:27pool below. His phone died, cutting off the gangster's tracking signal. Yi Yi swam to the edge, glanced back

00:24:34at the stunned boss, and walked away. The boss felt like this guy had nine lives. Yi Yi entered an

00:24:40elevator, inwardly rejoicing. Someone as resilient as me can't die easily, he thought. He drove to a

00:24:47lighthouse to meet his boss's mistress. The woman ran to embrace him and burst into tears.

00:24:53I was so scared. What would I do if you didn't make it, she cried, then asked where the money was.

00:24:58As Yi Yi pointed towards a brightly lit boat, she shot him in the head, sending him tumbling back

00:25:04to the darkness of hell. The grim reaper chuckled, and the clock hand rewound to eight,

00:25:09you killed yourself for money, and so she killed you for it too, she said. Yi Yi was furious that

00:25:15someone as resilient as Lee Joo Hun had died at the hands of a fragile woman. But Lee Joo Hun hid the

00:25:21money where only a boat can reach. Only I know its location. I'll take the 10 billion and keep living.

00:25:27Seeing Yi Yi's sinister grin, the grim reaper sent him back to carry out his plan.

00:25:33Yi Yi awoke wearing a prison uniform in solitary confinement. Enraged that he couldn't get out to

00:25:38retrieve the 10 billion, he roared in frustration. A guard arrived, opened the cell, and ordered him

00:25:44back to general population. As the guard led him away, another inmate gave him a hostile glare,

00:25:50looking for trouble. Back in the general population cell, a young man approached,

00:25:55calling Yi Yi Hying older brother, and led him to his bunk.

00:25:59Do you know when I can get out? Yi Yi asked.

00:26:02Four more days until we're released, the young man replied. Don't you remember?

00:26:07But control your temper. What if that psychopath kills you first?

00:26:11Yi Yi then noticed disturbing drawings and books on bipolar disorder belonging to another inmate.

00:26:17The guard opened the door for a new arrival, causing everyone to shrink back in fear. It was Jin

00:26:22Sang, the one who had attacked the student, Hyok Soo. Yi Yi immediately punched Jin Sang,

00:26:28sending him sprawling to the floor, then proceeded to stomp on him.

00:26:32Fellow inmates intervened.

00:26:34Warning, what if he kills you later? Jin Sang threatened, don't think you'll make it out of

00:26:38here alive. The two glared at each other. At that moment, the glowing stone flew towards Yi Yi,

00:26:45granting him a memory. I am Cho Ti Sang, 21 years old. Since childhood, I dreamed of becoming an MMA

00:26:52fighter, but I gave up because of my family's circumstances. One day, I saw loan sharks harassing

00:26:58my mother. Just then, a friend called with a way to make money. Seeing my mother kneeling on the ground,

00:27:04begging them, I decided to meet a lawyer. He asked me to take the blame for a hit and run on behalf of

00:27:10his boss, offering 200 million won. You're only 18, a minor, so you'll be released on probation, he said.

00:27:17Soon after, I swaggered into the police station and announced, I'm here to confess. I hit someone

00:27:23with a stolen car and ran away. And I'm a minor. I was arrested and brought to trial. I thought I

00:27:29could pay off my mother's debts and pursue my MMA dream. But the woman I hit died during the trial,

00:27:35and I received two years for manslaughter. Furious, I screamed at the lawyer and said goodbye to my

00:27:41MMA dreams forever. I raged about being stuck with a two-year sentence and a criminal record,

00:27:47Yi Yi remembered. But the lawyer shrugged it off. I demanded his boss pay me a billion won in

00:27:52compensation, threatening to find another lawyer to get me out. The story of a drunk man killing someone

00:27:58in a hit and run and using a minor as a scapegoat would come out. But the lawyer threatened back,

00:28:04if you talk, you'll die. Jin Sang sneered, how do you want to die? Just then,

00:28:10the guard called for them to return to their places. Yi Yi sat down, realizing Jin Sang was

00:28:15only feigning danger. Upon arriving, Jin Sang had proclaimed himself a psychopathic killer,

00:28:21with an insatiable urge to murder, intimidating everyone. Even Cho Ti Sang had been wary of his

00:28:27supposed madness. Yi Yi burst out laughing. You're a good actor, he complimented Jin Sang,

00:28:33then ordered a younger inmate to keep watch for the guards.

00:28:37No one interfere while I deal with this fake

00:28:39psycho, he commanded. Yi Yi unleashed a flurry of punches on Jin Sang.

00:28:44So this is how you trick everyone, still weak as ever. Fight back.

00:28:49Jin Sang pleaded. I was wrong to mess with you, Ti Sang. Please spare me.

00:28:55What you did wrong was kill Hyuk-su, Yi Yi corrected. He stood up and addressed the other inmates.

00:29:01He's nothing but a loser, beaten by the same kid he bullied in school. In the end, he snuck up from

00:29:07behind and hit him with a brick. And this coward pretends to be a psychopath? Jin Sang was shocked

00:29:13that Cho Ti Sang knew so much about him. The other inmates, feeling betrayed, surrounded him,

00:29:18ready to deliver their own justice. The next day, Jin Sang was ostracized at mealtime. A fellow inmate

00:29:25tossed him a dried fish, ordering him to eat the bones as well. Jin Sang obeyed without a word. During

00:29:32recreation time, the same inmate continued to lecture him for his fake displays of menace.

00:29:37Yi Yi watched the scene unfold, a smirk playing on his lips. Later, while working in the woodshop,

00:29:43a menacing inmate wielding a saw removed the blade and hurled it towards Yi Yi. It missed him,

00:29:49embedding itself in another prisoner. Guards rushed in and took the injured man for medical attention.

00:29:55The other inmates turned on Yi Yi, ready to attack. Ji Young, terrified, ran outside.

00:30:01The leader of the group announced that someone had paid them to ensure Yi Yi wouldn't leave prison.

00:30:06Yi Yi realized it was the lawyer. Drawing on Cho Ti Sang's MMA skills, Yi Yi swiftly took down the

00:30:13group of thugs in a matter of moments. Ji Young returned, armed with a metal pipe,

00:30:18only to find his cellmate victorious. Later, Ji Young, expressing remorse for his time in prison,

00:30:24asked Yi Yi if he felt the same. Yi Yi, recalling his past foolish actions, replied,

00:30:30I regret being imprisoned in a prison called death. I'm terrified because I know what real hell is like.

00:30:37But I think it's not too late for us to turn our lives around. That night, Jin Sang sat up in bed and

00:30:43went to the bathroom, sharpening a piece of plastic into a makeshift shiv. Yi Yi appeared, confiscating the

00:30:49weapon. How much longer do you think you'll be in here if you kill me, he asked. Yi Yi punched Jin Sang,

00:30:56debating whether to eliminate him. He's so irritating. No, I need to get out of here and

00:31:01find the 10 billion. He decided on a psychological tactic. Does that hurt as much as when Tsiok hit

00:31:08you? Jin Sang, flashing back to his school beatings, asked, How? How do you know him? Hyuk-su is right

00:31:16behind you, telling me everything, Yi Yi claimed. I can see ghosts, my mother is a shaman. Hyuk-su told

00:31:23me about the time you dumped a bowl of noodles on his head in the cafeteria. He also asked if you've

00:31:28ever felt sorry for him. When Jin Sang lashed out, blaming Hyuk-su for ruining his life, Yi Yi slapped him

00:31:36again. Hyuk-su says he'll haunt you until you die. Terrified, Jin Sang fainted when a towel accidentally

00:31:43fell, even wetting himself. The next day, as Yi Yi prepared for release, he saw Jin Sang still in a

00:31:50state of panic. Yi Yi tossed him a carton of milk, the same kind Jin Sang had forced Hyuk-su to buy for

00:31:57him, further amplifying his fear. Yi Yi felt this was a more effective punishment than killing him. Yi Yi,

00:32:04Ji Young, and other inmates were released, greeted by their families. Suddenly, someone called Cho Ti

00:32:10Sang's name. The lawyer ushered Yi Yi into a car. Yi Yi noticed another mysterious vehicle nearby.

00:32:17Inside the car, Yi Yi refused the briefcase of money. I don't want to blame anyone anymore. I won't

00:32:23take this dirty money and will take what happened between us to my grave. I hope we never see each

00:32:28other again. He stepped out of the car, leaving the lawyer stunned. Yi Yi went to the lighthouse,

00:32:34looking down at the spot where he, in Lee Ju Hun's body, had been killed. He still felt anger towards

00:32:40the woman. He took a boat out to sea and retrieved the bag containing the 10 billion won and diamonds.

00:32:47Elated, he reveled in his newfound wealth. But will anyone suspect me for having so much money right

00:32:53after getting out of prison? It's stressful even having money. I'll just rest for now, he thought,

00:32:58drifting off to sleep as his mother's hand gently stroked his face. He woke with a start to a phone

00:33:04call from Cho Ti Sang's mother. After a moment of hesitation, he answered. Hearing her say,

00:33:10Mother wants to see you, Yi Yi burst into tears, remembering his own mother longing for him at home.

00:33:16I'll… I'll come back, he promised. Immediately, he began sobbing like a child. Yi Yi carried the bag

00:33:24of money to a subway station, divided the cash into another bag, and whispered,

00:33:28If I continue living as Cho Ti Sang, his mother will never see her son again. I need to give her

00:33:34some money. He placed the money in a public locker, using his prison number as the code. A notice read,

00:33:41Items will be disposed of after four days. Yi Yi was determined to return within that time.

00:33:47Carrying the remaining bag, Yi Yi searched for Cho Ti Sang's house. While walking down an alley,

00:33:53he felt someone following him. As he stood before Ti Sang's door, someone called his name. He turned

00:33:59around and was stabbed multiple times in the stomach. I waited two years to kill you, the man hissed.

00:34:06You killed my daughter in a hit and run, and you only served two years because you were a minor,

00:34:11Yi Yi remembered the man from the trial. He'd also been in the black car after his release.

00:34:16I'm sorry, Yi Yi gasped. I wasn't the one who killed your daughter, it was someone else.

00:34:22Hearing approaching footsteps, the man fled. It was Ji Young. After confirming Yi Yi was still alive,

00:34:29Ji Young ripped off his mask. I thought someone else would kill you first. You have to die by my hand.

00:34:36I pretended to follow you in prison, waiting for my chance. I planned to finish you in the woodshop

00:34:41with the others for the reward, but I missed my opportunity. My regret in prison was not committing

00:34:46the perfect crime and getting caught. This time, I have a better plan. Despite Yi Yi's offer of a large

00:34:53sum of money, Ji Young stabbed him again, determined to collect the 100 million won bounty. He quickly

00:35:00disappeared. Yi Yi's phone rang. It was Cho Ti Sang's mother, but he couldn't answer. He awoke back in the

00:35:07darkness of hell, a single tear rolling down his cheek. He had seven lives left. I wouldn't have died if that

00:35:14old man hadn't stabbed me first, Yi Yi lamented to the Grim Reaper. I misjudged the victim's family's

00:35:20mindset. You're selfish, the Grim Reaper retorted. You never consider the pain of others.

00:35:27Anxious to retrieve the money from the locker, Yi Yi urged, just send me back already. The Grim Reaper

00:35:33obliged, but with a sly grin. Yi Yi opened his eyes to the world, but he couldn't move or speak. He

00:35:40realized he was a newborn baby. That's why she grinned. What about my 10 billion? He wailed

00:35:46loudly in the crowded cafe, mourning his lost fortune. His mother emerged from the restroom,

00:35:52profusely apologizing to the other patrons. She picked him up, continuing her apologies. As she

00:35:58carried him to her car, Yi Yi thought she seemed like a good mother. But once inside the car, she yelled,

00:36:04why can't you just shut up and sleep? Because of you, I couldn't even finish my coffee. Alarm spread

00:36:10across Yi Yi's face. The mother stormed into their house and tossed him onto the sofa like a discarded

00:36:16jackfruit. The father emerged, smiling serenely. The jam is four months expired, he announced.

00:36:23Eat it, the mother said nonchalantly. It won't kill you. The father spoon-fed the baby, threatening,

00:36:30eat it, or you'll get hit. The mother lit a cigarette. A police officer rang the doorbell.

00:36:36The father wiped Yi Yi's mouth, and the mother frantically aired out the smoke.

00:36:40I'm here with a child protection specialist, the officer explained. The children's hospital

00:36:45reported signs of abuse. The specialist examined Yi Yi. The husband presented a business card,

00:36:52identifying himself as a department head at the Child Welfare Institute. The officer noticed numerous

00:36:58photos of a happy family displayed around the house. Both apologized for the misunderstanding.

00:37:04Yi Yi screamed for help, but his would-be saviors left. After seeing the guests off,

00:37:09the mother rushed straight towards Yi Yi and demanded,

00:37:12what did I do wrong? Why did the police come to my house? She then threw Yi Yi to the ground and yelled,

00:37:18nothing in my life has gone right since you were born. She then used a pillow to suffocate Yi Yi,

00:37:24sending him back to the darkness and on to his next reincarnation among the remaining six.

00:37:29Yi Yi asked the Grim Reaper girl, why wasn't there a memory stone? I didn't even know that child's name.

00:37:35How can parents be like that? The Grim Reaper replied, you disregarded life and easily chose death,

00:37:42but that child wasn't even given a choice. Yi Yi requested to proceed to his next life quickly.

00:37:48The Grim Reaper said, humans possess a strong desire to live. After death, they longed for what they

00:37:54lacked in life. Looking at you now, no matter how hard you struggle, you'll just die again.

00:38:00But if you intend to kill someone, I will intervene. Yi Yi assured her, I would never kill anyone,

00:38:06so you don't have to worry. The Grim Reaper then sent Yi Yi on his way. Yi Yi opened his eyes and took in

00:38:13the city streets. He then checked his phone for the date and time, realizing he had only 15 minutes

00:38:18before his locker's contents would be disposed of. Luckily, he was standing in front of a subway

00:38:24station and quickly rushed inside. He arrived just as the staff were about to clear out his locker.

00:38:30Yi Yi opened it and retrieved his bag of money. Looking in a mirror, he was struck by his handsome new

00:38:36form. He then saw his image on a billboard and realized he was a model. The memory stone arrived,

00:38:42and Yi Yi eagerly absorbed it. I am Jang Gun Yu, 24 years old. Ever since I was young,

00:38:48I was popular with girls because of my looks. I made easy money thanks to my handsome face.

00:38:54I lived the life of a model without any real purpose. Yi Yi went to Gun Yu's luxurious apartment,

00:39:00which included a collection of expensive watches. Picking up a newspaper, he learned that the couple who

00:39:06abused their five-month-old son, who he had been, had been arrested. I wish I could testify and put

00:39:12those people away for good. He then read about an unsolved serial murder case and thought,

00:39:18I wonder how this body will die. Yi Yi received a call from Gun Yu's friends,

00:39:22inviting him to a VIP party. All the beauties of Korea will be there. Yi Yi thought to himself,

00:39:29instead of worrying about how I'll die, I might as well enjoy myself first. He went to a bar for the

00:39:34party. His friend urged him, Make a good impression on the host tonight, so you can become the face of the

00:39:40Kang Corporation. The host, CEO Park Ti Yu, made his entrance and shook hands with the guests.

00:39:46Gun Yu's friend introduced Yi Yi to the CEO. Having drunk quite a bit, Yi Yi was incoherent

00:39:52when speaking to him. The CEO subsequently ignored him. Yi Yi then joined the revelry of the high society

00:39:59party. The next morning, Gun Yu's older brother woke him up, saying, You promised to manage the cafe

00:40:05while I'm in America for a week. Go take a shower, groggily. Yi Yi went to the cafe to work, thinking,

00:40:12Once he leaves for America tomorrow, I'm out of here. Suddenly, he saw a female customer enter his

00:40:18former girlfriend, Ji Soo. Yi Yi couldn't take his eyes off her. She noticed the cafe workers staring.

00:40:25As Ji Soo came to collect her drink, Yi Yi told himself, I have to act natural. But he was flustered and

00:40:32clumsy. When he accidentally brushed her hand, he trembled. He then laughed nervously to cover his

00:40:38fluster. His brother asked, Do you like her? And informed him, She comes in around this time

00:40:43every day and stays until closing. I think she's a writer or novelist or something. Yi Yi searched

00:40:50online and learned that Ji Soo had won a writing contest with her novel, To My Future Self. When asked by

00:40:56reporters who she thought of first upon winning, Ji Soo had replied, The only person who supported my

00:41:02dream was my boyfriend. So he was the first person I thought of. He's been going through a lot lately,

00:41:08so I haven't told him the good news yet. Yi Yi now realized that the envelope Ji Soo had given him

00:41:14was the prize money from the contest. He looked at her with regret and then rushed outside. He went to

00:41:20a library and found Ji Soo's novel, To My Future Self. As he read, he realized she had woven their shared

00:41:27experiences into the story. He remembered the day he left the company where Ji Soo had interviewed for

00:41:32a job. He saw her being pursued by several men, all vying for her attention, but she refused them all.

00:41:39That evening, walking with Ji Soo beneath beautiful cherry blossoms, Yi Yi had declared, I'll definitely be more

00:41:46successful than those guys hanging around you. And no one in this world will love and cherish you more than

00:41:52I do. I'll stick with you forever and never let you go. They embraced and promised to love each other

00:41:58forever. Ji Soo had written in her novel, A man promised to love me and stay by my side forever, so I believed him.

00:42:06Overcome with emotion, Yi Yi couldn't continue reading. He left the library, remembering how Ji Soo used to

00:42:12stand in that very spot, gazing at the fountain pens. She had said that almost every writer owned one.

00:42:19He had promised to buy her one when she became a writer. He had secretly purchased her favorite pen

00:42:24and had it engraved with, author Ji Soo. But that was the same night he was evicted from his apartment,

00:42:31and he never got the chance to give it to her. Ji Soo's niece and brother-in-law arrived at the cafe to

00:42:37invite her home for bread. Yi Yi realized the man who had taken Ji Soo home that night was her brother.

00:42:43He had been suspicious of her due to his own insecurities. He then resolved to stay at the

00:42:48cafe to see Ji Soo every day. The next day, when she arrived, Yi Yi anticipated her order of hot lemon

00:42:54tea. He brought it out with a pastry, saying, This is a gift because I'm a fan. I really enjoyed your

00:43:01novel, to my future self. Actually, I have an idea for a novel. Ji Soo invited him to sit and listen.

00:43:08Yi Yi began to passionately and eloquently recount the story of a man who experienced

00:43:13countless deaths his own story. When Ji Soo asked his name, he almost said his real name but corrected

00:43:19himself to, Jang Gun Yu. Ji Soo commented, You tell the story so vividly, as if you've experienced it

00:43:26yourself. But the girl in that death scene was truly awful. Yi Yi agreed. Yes, she was completely crazy.

00:43:33How could she put him through all that just because he didn't value his own life? Ji Soo laughed at his

00:43:39earnestness, then stopped abruptly and asked, What's the main character's name? Yi Yi replied.

00:43:44I haven't come up with the right name yet. He then asked for her autograph and noticed she was holding

00:43:50the fountain pen he had intended to give her. When he complimented the pen, Ji Soo explained,

00:43:55It was a gift. She recalled visiting Yi Yi's grave, where his mother had given her the pen,

00:44:01saying, I think Yi Yi bought this for you. Ji Soo had sobbed when she saw it. Now, Yi Yi saw a deep

00:44:08sadness in her eyes. From that day on, whenever Ji Soo visited the cafe, Yi Yi sat with her and continued

00:44:15to tell her the stories of his many deaths. When Ji Soo asked why his main character never visited his

00:44:21mother. Yi Yi sadly replied that he didn't have the courage to see her again, believing it would

00:44:26be too painful. Ji Soo chuckled softly and said, Why do you talk as if it's your own experience?

00:44:32She then left. Yi Yi watched her go as heavy rain started to fall. He saw Ji Soo running in the rain

00:44:38and then saw Gun Yu running after her with an umbrella. He took her hand and urged her to take it and go home.

00:44:45Yi Yi stood in the rain, watching until she disappeared, then returned to the cafe. Suddenly,

00:44:51a customer dropped a glass, shattering it on the floor. As Yi Yi bent to pick up the shards,

00:44:56he saw a police car and ambulance race by. He then cut his hand. Two female customers entered,

00:45:02discussing an accident outside. I used to see her in this cafe a lot. Yi Yi, hearing this,

00:45:09immediately ran out, searching for Ji Soo, remembering the Grim Reaper's words,

00:45:14Your pain will only grow. He arrived at the scene of a motorcycle accident. A red umbrella lay on the

00:45:20ground. Panicked, Yi Yi yelled at the police to let him go. Then he saw Ji Soo standing nearby,

00:45:26unharmed. She bandaged the cut on Gun Yu's hand. Back at the cafe, he explained, I thought it was

00:45:33someone I knew. Ji Soo asked, They must be important to you. You must have been terrified. I know that

00:45:39feeling. Seeing you so panicked, Mr. Gun Yu, made me wonder what I must have looked like that day.

00:45:45I ran to the hospital, frantically asking the nurses and doctors about my boyfriend.

00:45:50I collapsed and screamed in despair. Yi Yi asked, Are you okay now? Ji Soo softly replied, Not yet.

00:45:58As she turned to leave, Yi Yi called out, See you tomorrow. Ji Soo paused and said, I don't think I'll

00:46:04be coming to the cafe tomorrow. Hearing your stories, Mr. Gun Yu, reminds me of someone. She then left.

00:46:12The next day, Ji Soo visited Yi Yi's grave and wept. I miss you so much. If I had held you back that day,

00:46:19if I hadn't said those things, would you have made a different choice? I'm so sorry. Yi Yi watched her

00:46:25from afar, deeply moved. After she left, he approached his own grave and looked at the pictures. Suddenly,

00:46:31he heard his mother's voice behind him. He turned and cried, Mom, then explained, I just came to see my

00:46:38mom. He hurried away as his mother cleaned his memorial. Unable to hold back her tears any longer,

00:46:44she went to the restroom to release her pent-up emotions. She sobbed, repeatedly crying out,

00:46:50Yi Yi. Hearing his mother's cries, he ran outside, collapsed, and wept loudly. Filled with regret, he

00:46:57repeated, I'm sorry, Mom. I'm so sorry. He wrote a letter to his mother, pretending to be an acquaintance

00:47:03of Yi Yi, saying, This is the money Yi Yi earned from cryptocurrency investments. Please use it

00:47:09freely. He took the bag of money to his mother's house and used the key code to enter. Seeing pictures

00:47:15of himself and his mother, he was overwhelmed with emotion and fled, leaving the money behind. A crow

00:47:21landed on a sign, loosening its screws. It fell and hit Yi Yi on the head, but it was just a nightmare.

00:47:27The following day, Jai Su returned to the cafe to hear more of Gun Yu's stories. Afterwards,

00:47:34they walked home together in silence. Yi Yi remembered the happy times when he held Jai Su's hand,

00:47:39filled with regret for his foolish choice. Jai Su finally spoke, I hope the story you're telling me,

00:47:46Mr. Gun Yu, has a happy ending. I feel sorry for the main character. He's lived such a difficult life,

00:47:52with no one to rely on. He constantly worries about his next death and lives in fear. A life lived in

00:47:58fear isn't really living at all. As Jai Su said goodbye, Yi Yi stopped her. There's something I

00:48:05have to say. This might be my last day. I had a girlfriend for seven years. I never showed her my

00:48:11best side. I was a waiter, and she came to the restaurant with her coworkers. Her boss kept trying

00:48:17to set her up with other men. But she always said, I have a boyfriend. When she saw me,

00:48:22she confidently took my arm and introduced me to her colleagues. This is my boyfriend. Isn't he

00:48:27handsome? And he's hardworking. With him, I'll never go hungry. She proudly told them I was the

00:48:33man she loved. No matter my position, she's kind and cries easily at others' misfortunes. She prefers

00:48:40lemon tea to bitter coffee. I was foolish to think she was okay. I want to apologize for

00:48:46misunderstanding her. I hope she won't grieve for someone like me. She'll always be the only one I

00:48:51love. A tear rolled down Jai Su's cheek as she imagined Yi Yi standing before her. He continued,

00:48:58I didn't appreciate the one who held my hand and cried with me during hard times. I know it's too

00:49:04late to ask for forgiveness because I'm already gone. The crazy story I told you is what I've been

00:49:09through. I've died seven times, and now I'm living in this man's body. My first death was as Yi Yi,

00:49:16Yi Yi. I am Yi Yi. While Jai Su was still reeling from the shock, a car suddenly sped towards them,

00:49:22striking them both. A man calmly stepped out. Yi Yi recognized him as CEO Park Tu of Ti Kuang Group.

00:49:30He was the one who sponsored the no-parachute landing challenge, hired Cho Ti Sang to take the

00:49:35fall for his manslaughter charge, and hired Lee Ju Hun's boss to make the youngest Ti Kuang Air's plane crash

00:49:41look like an accident. The lawyer stepped out of the car, horrified by Jai Su's mangled body.

00:49:47The CEO looked at Jai Su and said, What a mess. He then suffocated Yi Yi to eliminate any witnesses.

00:49:54The police arrived, examined the scene, and took the bodies away. The clock in the underworld ticked to

00:50:00five. Yi Yi woke up, enraged that Jai Su had died because of him. He was determined to kill the CEO.

00:50:07He saw the Grim Reaper reading Jai Su's novel. He rushed towards her, pointed a gun at her head,

00:50:14and pulled the trigger so she could experience the pain he had endured. Remembering CEO Park's face,

00:50:19he prepared to kill himself. He sought him out, but the gun was empty. The Grim Reaper appeared,

00:50:26her wound already healed. Yi Yi demanded, Did you plan all the deaths related to Park Tu? I saw you

00:50:32reading Jai Su's book. Why did you kill my Jai Su? Even a god shouldn't do that. The Grim Reaper replied,

00:50:40I'm not a god. I take this form to communicate with humans. She then revealed her true face,

00:50:46then transformed into Jai Su, calling out, Yi Yi. She then sneered and asked, Do you feel guilty

00:50:52thinking this girl died because of you? I read that novel to see if your girlfriend deserved

00:50:57to be punished like you. She was destined to die there at that time. It just so happened she was

00:51:02with a man who was also about to die. Yi Yi was baffled as to why CEO Park would want to kill Jai Su.

00:51:10The Grim Reaper announced, The next game begins. But if you try to kill anyone, I will intervene.

00:51:16You can't break my rules. You wasted my bullet. She flicked her finger, and the bullet on the ground

00:51:22flew up, spun around, and lodged itself in Yi Yi's head. He woke up with blood on his hands and the

00:51:28body of a long-haired man beside him. He saw a figure behind a curtain. Pulling back the curtain,

00:51:34he found only a swimsuit. He entered the room, filled with strange photographs and various gases.

00:51:40A glowing stone emerged from a bucket of specimens and delivered a memory.

00:51:44I am Ji Yong Ji-yoo Chieol, 34 years old. I was born into poverty. From a young age,

00:51:51I recognized my artistic talent, but the world didn't. One day, I saw a woman collapse on the

00:51:57roof of a car. I captured her dying expression in a painting. It sold for a high price overseas.

00:52:03From then on, I found my niche. I orchestrated scenes to create more vivid paintings.

00:52:09They all fetched exorbitant prices due to their realism. As the stone departed, Yi Yi

00:52:14vomited in the bathroom, realizing the depraved and twisted nature of the body he inhabited.

00:52:20Seeing a puppet on the table, he recalled CEO Park's words about Jai Su's broken body.

00:52:25He picked up a knife, thinking, I'll use this demonic body to eliminate another demon.

00:52:30Park Tiu, I'll make you experience what I've been through.

00:52:34Yi Yi went to the scene of the accident, clearly remembering Park's red sports car

00:52:39deliberately swerving to hit them. He lifted the manhole cover, searching for the fountain pen he

00:52:44had given Jai Su. The previous evening, the CEO had told his lawyer,

00:52:49take the blame. I was high, so the charges will be worse. If you go to jail for me,

00:52:54I'll make you CEO of my subsidiary. The lawyer had quickly opened the car door,

00:52:59retrieved the memory card from the dashcam, and thrown it down the drain. He then called the police

00:53:05and confessed. Park had taken Jai Su's pen and tossed it down the drain as well. Yi Yi went to

00:53:11Tikuan Group, a knife concealed on him. The receptionist refused him access to CEO Park,

00:53:17so he left. Park then emerged, bowing to his chairman father, who insisted he attend the company's

00:53:23seminar. In the elevator, Park acted polite and cheerful to the employees, but his father watched

00:53:29him with disapproval. At the seminar, the host conducted a psychological test on successful

00:53:34individuals, using CEO Park as a subject. The CEO, realizing he was being filmed, chose the answers

00:53:41a normal person would. The host announced, our CEO is not a psychopath, to resounding applause.

00:53:48Standing outside Tikuan Group, Yi Yi saw Park portrayed in the media as friendly and respected,

00:53:54which infuriated him. Suddenly, his nose started bleeding, and he collapsed. At the hospital,

00:54:00the doctor diagnosed him with an inoperable brain tumor. Yi Yi laughed, surprising the doctor.

00:54:06Told he had only a month to live, Yi Yi said, that's enough? He left. Just then, the gallery employee

00:54:13called, informing him that CEO Park Tu wanted to buy his painting, Red Labor. Yi Yi rushed to the

00:54:20gallery and found Park admiring the painting Jiang Jiayu Cheol had created. He introduced himself as

00:54:26the artist and shook Park's hand. He explained the painting's meaning, it's created by connecting

00:54:32the blood of five people. Their deaths are connected by the hand of a god me. Intrigued, Park listened

00:54:38intently. Yi Yi continued, we're alike. We're both lunatics who think we're gods, because I also kill

00:54:45people, like you. When Park reacted with surprise, Yi Yi said, just kidding. Seeing they were alone in

00:54:51the gallery, he prepared to act. But remembering the grim reaper's warning, he put the knife away.

00:54:57Disappointed that Jiang Jiayu Cheol wouldn't sell the painting, Park Tu turned to leave. But Yi Yi

00:55:03called him back. I'll sell it. I'll deliver it personally. And I'd like to invite you to my studio.

00:55:09I have a special piece just for you. Park agreed to visit. Looking at a security camera, Yi Yi thought,

00:55:16the grim reaper said she'd intervene if I killed anyone, so she must be watching me constantly.

00:55:22Park Tu attended his brother Park Jin T's memorial service at a church. He recalled Jin telling him how,

00:55:29as a child, he had witnessed Park suffocating the housekeeper's baby son. Someone had intervened,

00:55:35but the child needed surgery to survive, Jin had told their father. Since then, Park had taken

00:55:41medication daily to quell the phantom cries of children he heard in his ears. Now, watching his

00:55:46father's grief for Jin T and the sympathy of their relatives, Park felt a surge of envy. He left.

00:55:53His secretary called, confirming the seminar had been his father's order. Park took a pill to suppress his

00:55:59violent urges, then drove recklessly, high on drugs. A young police officer noticed the speeding sports

00:56:05car and pursued it with his partner. Park accelerated, leading them on a chase through a construction zone,

00:56:12where he was forced to stop. The officer asked for a breathalyzer test, but Park became uncooperative,

00:56:18noticing the officer fumbling with his ID and suspecting drug use. The officer pulled Park out of

00:56:24the car, and Park resisted. After seeing the officer's ID, he called the police chief to complain.

00:56:30The officer was reprimanded and ordered to apologize to the CEO. He did so and allowed Park to leave.

00:56:37Park slapped the officer and told his partner,

00:56:39stay still if you want to keep your job. He continued to assault the young officer,

00:56:44leaving him on the ground, then tossed some bills at him for medical expenses.

00:56:49He praised the partner for understanding power dynamics.

00:56:52You're just like the fish that nibble at my feet. Park drove off. He arrived home and stopped in

00:56:58front of Jiang Jiayuqiao. Yi Yi said, I'm here to see you, and placed his foot on Park's expensive car.

00:57:05When Park told him to remove it, Yi Yi put his other foot up. Park said, there are no cameras here,

00:57:11and punched Yi Yi. Yi Yi spat on the back of Park's head. Park attacked, but Yi Yi landed a powerful blow,

00:57:18knocking him down and delivering a kick. Park went to his car and retrieved a gun. Yi Yi dodged a shot.

00:57:25As he ran, Park shot him in the back. Park walked over and kicked him. Yi Yi regained consciousness,

00:57:32shoved Park, and got into the sports car. He drove straight at Park, then swerved and charged again,

00:57:38causing Park to drop the gun. Yi Yi got out, picked up the gun, and stomped on Park's hand.

00:57:44Anticipating this, Yi Yi was wearing a bulletproof vest. He kicked Park again. He then drove Yi Yi to

00:57:50the residence of artist Jiang Jiayuqiao and announced, 15 people have been killed here. Tonight, it's your

00:57:57turn to die here in the most painful way possible. Yi Yi was led into the room where Jiang Jiayuqiao

00:58:03created his paintings. Suddenly, the operating lights flickered on. The director saw Jiang Jiayuqiao

00:58:10lying slumped on the floor. When Yi Yi regained consciousness, he found himself strapped to the

00:58:15operating table. Director Park Tu approached and recounted his journey to rival Jiang Jiayuqiao's

00:58:2115 victim kill count. The first time I killed someone, it was an accident. I was driving and

00:58:27hit a man who ran out into the street. A young guy called an ambulance, and the man looked at me like

00:58:33I was a god. I've never forgotten that moment. No matter how many times I've killed since then,

00:58:39I've never felt that feeling again. But suddenly, listening to your story in the car just now,

00:58:44I felt that feeling returning. I was trembling with excitement in the car. After all,

00:58:49the one who survives is always the winner. He then started the chainsaw. Yi Yi spat in his face. And so,

00:58:56director Park Tu sent Yi Yi back to the dark abyss of death. Four reincarnations remaining.

00:59:03He woke up and checked to make sure his body was intact. The Grim Reaper girl announced.

00:59:08That was the most painful death you've experienced. Luckily, you didn't kill him,

00:59:12or I would have thrown you into hell. Yi Yi let out a loud, satisfied laugh.

00:59:17The Grim Reaper realized Yi Yi had intentionally let Park Tu kill him,

00:59:22as Park Tu's entire process had been recorded on camera. Yi Yi now demanded his next reincarnation.

00:59:29My mother used to say that sooner or later, everyone has to pay for their sins. But the sins

00:59:34of the wealthy never seem to find their way back to them. I will make Park Tu pay. I will do what the

00:59:40gods refuse to do. I will beat you at your own game. The Grim Reaper then sent Yi Yi on his way.

00:59:47He opened his eyes and found himself chasing a young man. The man then called him,

00:59:52cop. So he was a policeman now. When the criminal pulled out a gun, Yi Yi, unprepared, ran away.

00:59:59Suddenly, young officer Ji Hoon appeared and neutralized the criminal. Officer Ji Hoon rebuked Yi Yi.

01:00:05Why did you run away while pursuing a suspect? I don't expect you to die for your colleagues,

01:00:10but don't embarrass us like that. Then, the glowing stone brought Yi Yi a memory. I am Ji Hoon,

01:00:1742 years old. My father was a police officer who died in the line of duty. I wanted to be a great

01:00:23cop like him. The day I told my mother I passed the police academy entrance exam, she fainted on the

01:00:29spot, afraid I'd end up like my father. So I promised her that no matter what happened, I would protect

01:00:35myself first. That's why I became a pathetic cop in the eyes of my colleagues, because whenever danger

01:00:41arose, I ran. And then my mother died. And I continued to live as a coward in the eyes of my colleagues.

01:00:47I stood by and watched as my younger colleague Ji Hoon was beaten by director Park Tu, only to earn

01:00:53further disdain from him. Yi Yi felt sorry for the man. No wonder his junior officer berated him so much.

01:01:01Suddenly, Yi Yi saw two young men chasing each other down the street. He recognized the one doing the

01:01:06beating as Inmate X, who had killed him for the 100 million won bounty. Yi Yi approached and said to

01:01:12Inmate X. I'm Cho Ti Sang, the guy you used to serve. Inmate X replied, I stabbed that guy to death.

01:01:20At that moment, several people began recording his confession with their phones. He brandished his

01:01:25knife threateningly. Yi Yi asked. Are you going to kill someone else for another 100 million from Park Tu?

01:01:32Then, officer Yi Yi swiftly attacked and subdued the criminal. Moments later, patrol officers arrived to

01:01:39arrest him. Everyone applauded officer and Hong Yi Yi's impressive display of skill. The video quickly

01:01:45went viral, garnering significant attention online. Fellow officers who saw the video were astonished.

01:01:52The captain came out to watch it, incredulous that it was his subordinate, and Hong. After seeing the video

01:01:58featured on the news, the captain asked if Anh Hong had recently purchased life insurance,

01:02:02wondering why he'd taken such a risk. Park Tu reminisced with pleasure about how he'd dealt

01:02:08with Jiang Jiayu-chan. He then invited his secretary to dinner, saying, I've discovered a great place.

01:02:15Lured by the wealthy director's invitation, she agreed. That evening, Yi Yi invited officer

01:02:20Ji-hun to the home of a serial killer, the very residence of Jiang Jiayu-chan. They entered the area where

01:02:27the deranged artist had committed his crimes. Yi Yi went inside and opened a secret door,

01:02:32retrieving the fountain pen engraved with Zhu's name. He opened his laptop and showed Ji-hun the

01:02:38videos of the artist committing his gruesome acts for his paintings. Ji-hun said he'd call the

01:02:43forensics team immediately. Yi Yi plugged a USB drive into the computer, copied all the videos of Park Tu's

01:02:50attacks on him onto it, and deleted the originals. Ji-hun watched, suspicious. As the police investigated

01:02:57the scene, Yi Yi explained how Jiang Jiayu-chan had used his victim's blood to create his paintings.

01:03:04The captain asked for the lights to be turned off. The grotesque paintings then began to shimmer eerily.

01:03:10The captain was taken aback by Officer Anh Hong's transformed demeanor. He chased after Yi Yi,

01:03:15exclaiming, You're not Ji-hun, are you possessed? Can you shapeshift? You're incredible. Park Tu waited

01:03:22for his secretary. Upon arriving at the designated location, he found it surrounded by police. Yi Yi introduced

01:03:29himself, I'm Officer Anh Hong. The director recognized him as the man he'd berated after being pulled over

01:03:36for speeding. Yi Yi announced, We've cordoned off this area due to a murder. Have you ever heard the

01:03:42saying the culprit returns to the scene of the crime? If you don't want to be mistaken for the

01:03:46murderer, stay away from this place. I'm only advising you this because you're a director.

01:03:52Allow me to take down the name of the young lady with you, just in case she goes missing. You never

01:03:57know who the real killer is these days, do you, director? Park Tu then left. He stopped his car and

01:04:03told his secretary to get out. Get out of the car, I'm no longer in the mood for dinner. She narrowly

01:04:10escaped death. The director now had a grudge against Ji-hyun. Reporters photographed Officer Ji-hyun,

01:04:17featuring him in the news as the one who uncovered the identity of serial killer Ji-young Ji-yoo-chan.

01:04:22Meanwhile, Park Tu watched the news and received a call from his superior in the criminal organization,

01:04:28informing him, Ji-young Ji-yoo-chan's body has been disposed of. The director ordered,

01:04:34get rid of Officer Ji-hyun. Ji-yi gave the USB drive to a reporter to expose Park Tu's crimes on the

01:04:41news. The police chief praised Ji-hyun's team, making the captain proud. He even kissed Ji-hyun on the

01:04:48cheek in congratulations. Officer Ji-hyun requested a private meeting with Ji-yi and said,

01:04:54I saw you copying and deleting some videos from Ji-young Ji-yoo-chan's computer. What were those videos?

01:05:00Ji-yi replied, Those were videos of Ji-young Ji-yoo-chan's murder. The culprit is director Park Tu. I knew they

01:05:07would be destroyed as soon as they reached the police station. Look, I have to act to ensure that

01:05:12director is punished. Then, Ji-yi saw his mother entering the police station. Ji-hyun explained,

01:05:19She's being investigated because a bag of money was found in her house. They checked the security footage

01:05:25and saw the person who delivered the money, but he died in a traffic accident. She's in trouble

01:05:30out of the blue. Her son also recently passed away. Ji-yi watched his mother give her statement to the

01:05:37police, repeatedly saying, I don't know anything, filling him with self-reproach. I'm dead, and I

01:05:43still can't do anything right. As his mother walked past, Ji-yi blurted out, Mom. Then, correcting himself,

01:05:50he apologized. I mean, ma'am. Noticing his mother's untied shoelace, he knelt down to tie it for her,

01:05:56advising, Next time, you should wear slip-on shoes. It's safer. His mother replied,

01:06:02These are the first shoes my son bought for me. Ji-yi remembered how happy his mother had been when

01:06:08he gave her the shoes. She continued, When I wear these shoes, I feel like my son is always with me.

01:06:14Ji-yi was deeply moved. He then asked, Why did you report the bag?

01:06:19You could have used the money. His mother answered, I see it as a punishment from heaven

01:06:24for not being able to protect my only son. I feel like that money was exchanged for my son's life,

01:06:30so I don't want to use it. I'll be going now. Tears streamed down Ji-yi's face as he listened.

01:06:36Back at home, his mother's doorbell rang. She opened the door to find a bag of food with a note,

01:06:42Please don't skip meals. Remember to eat well. Ji-yi stood nearby, watching.

01:06:48As he walked away, a man with half his face burned. The truck driver who had chased Lee

01:06:53Joo-hun grabbed him. He stabbed Yi-yi, and blood flowed onto the ground. Park Tu received a package.

01:07:00Inside was a photo proving he was driving the car that had hit the young couple the previous night.

01:07:06These were photos the chairman, his father, had secretly obtained. His father said,

01:07:11Now I know why all the pets in this house have died so young, but why would you harm people?

01:07:16His son replied, Are you afraid of me? Since I was young, I've enjoyed reading about royalty because

01:07:22I relate to them. Siblings fight to the death for the throne. Even the bond between father and son

01:07:27is no exception. He then lightly touched his father as a warning before leaving. He drove recklessly

01:07:34through the streets, stopping a random car and attacking the driver. Park Tu entered a cathedral

01:07:40and declared, I, I am the one who decides who lives and who dies. Judgment and salvation are mine to

01:07:46decide. He then received a call from the chief of the media bureau, informing him. Ji-hye-hyeong sent a

01:07:52video to the TV station showing Ji-yung Ji-yoo-chew's murder. He claims the director is responsible.

01:07:58I tried to stop it, but it will be broadcast on the news tonight. Park Tu called the head of the

01:08:04criminal organization, but Yi-yi answered the phone. He asked, Have you taken care of Ji-hye-hyeong yet?

01:08:10Yi-yi replied, I am Ji-hye-hyeong. He had used his hand to block the scarred man's knife attack

01:08:16and then subdued him. Yi-yi now demanded to meet Park Tu at the police station. I'll have a pair of

01:08:22German handcuffs waiting for you. He then escorted the head of the criminal organization to jail.

01:08:28The captain was astonished by Ji-hye-hyeong's abilities but felt a sense of unease. He received

01:08:33a call from the chief, requesting to meet Ji-hye-hyeong. Yi-yi went to the chief's office and encountered a

01:08:39lawyer wearing glasses, the same one who had gone to Germany to secure inmate X's release. Entering the

01:08:46office, Yi-yi found Park Tu sitting in the central chair with the chief. The chief excused himself,

01:08:52leaving the two men alone. The director tried to bribe Yi-yi with money and power.

01:08:56If you sign this agreement, what you receive will increase every year. If you agree to serve me,

01:09:02you could even run this place. Yi-yi took out his fountain pen, slashed the document,

01:09:07and declared. I don't need money or power. I want to show you that you're nothing but a lunatic who

01:09:13thinks he's a god. Park Tu sneered. You're just a stray dog running around in my playground. Getting rid

01:09:20of a stray is child's play for me. Yi-yi retorted, what's worse than death? Let's end this cursed

01:09:26relationship in this lifetime. Meet me on the first floor in 30 minutes, I'll have you in handcuffs.

01:09:32A bespectacled lawyer entered, stating, I'll handle this smoothly. Then, the captain and other members

01:09:38of the major crimes unit all received phone calls informing them of something. Yi-yi returned to his

01:09:44desk and turned on the news while he waited. His younger colleague approached him from behind and

01:09:50offered him a sausage to tide him over. Just as the news anchor was about to report on the video of

01:09:55Park Tu, a breaking news alert flashed across the screen. Tequang Group CEO Park Tu has turned himself

01:10:02in for the murder of Jiang Jiayuchan. Park Tu emerged from the police station and addressed the press.

01:10:09I killed the serial killer Jiang Jiayuchan. A few days ago, he kidnapped me and took me to a place I

01:10:15didn't recognize. I was faced with two choices, kill him or be killed. I felt it was my duty to stop Jiang

01:10:22Jiayuchan. We fought, and I escaped. I only learned of his death later from the news. I don't know where his

01:10:29body is. I apologize for disappointing you all. The news then aired the video Yi-yi had provided.

01:10:36The video shows CEO Park Tu being escorted into Jiang Jiayuchan's art room. That's all the video shows.

01:10:43It's insufficient evidence to conclude that CEO Park Tu murdered Jiang Jiayuchan. He was definitely

01:10:50kidnapped by Jiang Jiayuchan, and he might still be alive. Watching the broadcast, Yi-yi realized Park

01:10:56Tu had made his move first. Park Tu was now flanked by two high-ranking police officials who informed him,

01:11:04all charges against you have been dropped. Protests demanding Park Tu's acquittal erupted.

01:11:10Politicians publicly supported his innocence. Yi-yi was reprimanded by his chief for fabricating evidence,

01:11:16who threatened to fire both him and his captain. Park Tu exited the police station,

01:11:22hailed by the press as a hero for fighting a serial killer. As Yi-yi walked to his car,

01:11:27two masked men ambushed him. He was thrown into a car and driven away. Now on his private jet to

01:11:33America, Park Tu received a call from a henchman. There's no copy of the video at Jiayung's place,

01:11:40I've got him, too. Park Tu replied, I'll handle him myself. He swallowed two pills and fell asleep.

01:11:47Suddenly, the plane violently shook. He bolted upright as a voice echoed. You killed seven people,

01:11:54you have to pay for what you've done. He stumbled into the cockpit to find the plane on autopilot.

01:11:59Then, he saw a news report on the monitor. CEO Park Tu murdered his own brother and staged it as a

01:12:05plane crash. CEO Park also offered Song Yi-seob 3,000,000,000 to jump from over 8,000 meters without

01:12:12a parachute, resulting in his death. A message flashed on the display. Plane will explode in 30

01:12:18seconds. Parachute out if you want to live. A countdown began. The engines caught fire. Panicked,

01:12:25Park Tu frantically searched for a parachute. The plane exploded, sending him plummeting.

01:12:31He managed to deploy the parachute and landed on a highway. As he stood up, a car slammed into him,

01:12:37sending him flying. A man stepped out of the car. It was Officer Ji-hyeong, also known as Yi-yi.

01:12:43When Park Tu had made his confession to the press, Yi-yi had anticipated this move. Yi-yi arrived at the

01:12:50office of the criminal organization's boss. Recalling Jun's memories, Yi-yi knew the boss kept a hard drive

01:12:56containing incriminating evidence against the organization's clients. He opened the hidden safe

01:13:01and confiscated the crucial hard drive. Meanwhile, Park Tu arrived at the police station and surrendered

01:13:07a pen. Using Park Jin-tee's memories, Yi-yi had swapped the drugs hidden inside the pen with sleeping

01:13:14pills. When Yi-yi was apprehended by the two thugs, they were swiftly subdued by Officer Ji-hoon and the

01:13:20captain. Utilizing Jun's skills, Yi-yi had planted a bomb on the plane's engine and activated autopilot.

01:13:27Leveraging Song Yi-siab's media savvy, Yi-yi disseminated evidence of Park Tu's crimes.

01:13:33Muse channels began broadcasting the video showing Park Tu hiring the organization's boss to sabotage

01:13:39his brother Park Jin-tee's plane. As the news spread, Yi-yi left the sleeping Park Tu on the plane and,

01:13:46using Song Yi-siab's skydiving skills, parachuted out, landing smoothly and safely. He got into a car and,

01:13:53employing MMA fighter Chial Sang's expert driving abilities, pursued Park Tu, ramming his car with

01:13:59brutal force. Now, Yi-yi put on gloves and began to choke Park Tu, mirroring how Park Tu had killed

01:14:07model Jang Ho-jun. Overcome with memories of his girlfriend Jai-su, Yi-yi tightened his grip.

01:14:13Suddenly, a meteor fell from the sky, it was the Grim Reaper. She intervened as Yi-yi was about to kill

01:14:19Park Tu. A pen engraved with Jai-su's name dropped to the ground. Yi-yi released his hold,

01:14:25remembering Jai-su's words. I really hope the story you're telling me has a happy ending.

01:14:31He clutched the pen and stood up. As he walked away, Park Tu attacked him from behind. A gust of wind

01:14:37caught Park Tu's parachute, pulling him backward into the path of an oncoming truck. Later, Yi-yi visited

01:14:44Park Tu's lawyer, posing as a police officer. I know you took the fall for Park Tu, Yi-yi said.

01:14:51This is the memory card from the black box of the supercar you dumped in the sewer.

01:14:55It's the only thing that can prove your innocence. Overjoyed. The lawyer, believing he was saved,

01:15:01gushed. Thank you, officer. Suddenly, Yi-yi popped the memory card into his mouth and chewed it to pieces,

01:15:07leaving the lawyer writhing and screaming, demanding he uphold the law. Yi-yi calmly repeated the same

01:15:13words the lawyer had once said to Cho Ti-sang, stunning him. He told the lawyer to behave himself

01:15:19in prison, now facing a murder charge, and live out the rest of his days incarcerated. As Yi-yi left,

01:15:26the lawyer chased after him, only to be restrained by a guard, his cries echoing futilely.

01:15:32Authorities confirmed all leaked videos of Park Tu were authentic. We will prosecute him for murder

01:15:38and destruction of evidence. The officials who protected him have all been arrested.

01:15:42Park Tu remained in a coma, and Ti-kang's chairman resigned, handing control to professional

01:15:48managers. Yi-yi visited the comatose Park Tu, whose legs had been amputated. You can't kill anyone now,

01:15:55Yi-yi said. You can't even hurt an aunt. Goodbye. Don't expect to see me again.

01:16:01Yi-yi visited Jai-su's memorial. You stopped me, didn't you? He asked. I know you sent me a sign on

01:16:08the pen I gave you. He sobbed. From then on, Yi-yi continued living as officer and Hong,

01:16:14partnering with his younger colleague, relentlessly pursuing dangerous criminals,

01:16:18unsure when death would find him. But he seemed to have embraced life as a crime-fighting cop.

01:16:24During a fight with a gang, their leader kicked Yi-yi hard. He was about to finish Yi-yi with a hammer

01:16:29when Ji-hoon arrived, disarming the criminal. However, Ji-hoon was injured and hospitalized.

01:16:36Ji-hoon's wife and daughter arrived at the hospital. Seeing his wife sobbing with worry,

01:16:41Yi-yi invited his daughter to the cafeteria. Does it hurt when you come home from work?

01:16:46The little girl asked. Every time daddy comes home, he hurts somewhere. Yi-yi promised.

01:16:52I'll try to make sure your daddy doesn't get hurt anymore. They made a pinky promise. Noticing a

01:16:58wound on Yi-yi's hand, she applied a bandage, saying, Don't get hurt anymore, Mr. Yi-yi led her

01:17:04back to her father's room. Seeing Ji-hoon's happy family, Yi-yi wondered, If I hadn't died,

01:17:10could I have had a happy family like this? Later, the two partners pursued a dangerous robber onto a

01:17:16rooftop. The robber pulled a gun, shooting both of them in the leg and arm. When the robber asked,

01:17:22Which one of you wants to die first? Yi-yi, remembering the little girl's face and Ji-hoon's

01:17:27happy family, lunged, pinning the robber against the wall. The robber shot him in the stomach.

01:17:33Yi-yi grabbed the robber's leg, and they both plummeted over the edge. Ji-hoon rushed to the

01:17:38edge, seeing his senior officer, An Hong, lying dead, the watch in the dark underworld resetting to three.

01:17:45Yi-yi awoke, calmly explaining to the grim reaper, I jumped to save officer Ji-hoon, I sacrificed

01:17:51myself, I didn't commit suicide. The grim reaper chuckled and escorted him away. The man woke up in

01:17:58the grimy body of a homeless old man. Henry, she laughed that gleefully again, Yi-yi pocketed some

01:18:04spare change he'd begged for, and then saw a news report about the heroic death of police officer

01:18:09Ji-hee Hume, whose funeral would be held at the Ti-kang hospital mortuary. Yi-yi decided to attend his own

01:18:16funeral. Park Ti-yu, watching the news from his hospital bed, let out a chuckle. Arriving at the

01:18:22funeral, Yi-yi saw a profusion of wreaths, some even from famous actors. Inside, he saw officer Ji-hyun's

01:18:29family, including a little girl weeping before his portrait. Overcome with grief, officer Ji-hoon,

01:18:35leaning on a cane, excused himself and went outside. Yi-yi waved to the little girl, but she recoiled,

01:18:42frightened by his appearance. A police officer, smelling Yi-yi's unwashed body, asked,

01:18:48''Are you here for the free food?'' and tried to usher the homeless man away. The captain

01:18:52intervened, speaking politely to Yi-yi before returning inside to fetch him a bag of leftovers,

01:18:58hoping to appease him. The swift change in demeanor from his former colleagues left Yi-yi

01:19:03feeling a profound sense of disconnect. Security guards then pushed Yi-yi aside to make way for the

01:19:09prime minister, who arrived to pay his respects, surrounded by a throng of reporters. Yi-yi

01:19:15realized the good deeds he'd performed as Ji-hyun no longer had any bearing on his current life.

01:19:20Descending the stairs, he found officer Ji-hyun weeping, consumed by guilt for having berated Ji-hyun

01:19:26for supposedly running from danger. Yi-yi patted Ji-hyun's shoulder and said, ''Don't blame yourself.

01:19:33I'm sure officer Ji-hyun felt fortunate that it was him who fell that day.''

01:19:37Ji-hyun grabbed Yi-yi's collar. ''Who are you to say such a thing?'' The question echoed the Grim

01:19:43Reaper's earlier query, plunging Yi-yi into despair. Recalling all the lives he'd lived, he mumbled, ''I

01:19:50don't know who I am anymore.'' He realized that being reborn into different bodies meant nothing if he

01:19:56couldn't be himself. The memory stone floated towards him, but Yi-yi refused to let it merge with him,

01:20:02instead fleeing down the stairs. Weakened by age, he stumbled and fell, returning to the darkness and

01:20:08the clock hand pointing to two. Yi-yi raged at the Grim Reaper's cruel game. She raised her gun.

01:20:15''Greater pain awaits you. I'll end my own life to finish the remaining two reincarnations,'' Yi-yi

01:20:20declared. The Grim Reaper granted his wish. Yi-yi entered the body of a middle-aged man with a sorrowful

01:20:27face and ran towards a busy avenue. The memory stone merged with him, revealing his new life.

01:20:33He had once been a cheerful man with a stable job and a happy family. But when his daughter reached

01:20:38high school, he was laid off from the company where he'd dedicated his life. His wife then served him

01:20:44divorce papers, stating, ''You're no use to us anymore.'' Crushed and losing the will to live, he'd run into

01:20:51traffic and been hit by Park Ti-yu, thrown to the side of the road. Cho Ti-sang, the university student,

01:20:57had called for help. Now, the Grim Reaper stood behind Park Ti-yu. The man this middle-aged soul

01:21:04had viewed as a god was actually the Grim Reaper, not Park Ti-yu. Park Ti-yu's earlier boast.

01:21:10''He looked at me like I was a god, was nothing but a delusion.'' The man then grasped the student Yi-yi's

01:21:16hand before passing away. From that moment, Ji-hyun's life took a different turn. The clock in the dark

01:21:22underworld moved to one. Yi-yi awoke to the Grim Reaper's voice, ''I gave you a chance to change the

01:21:28past, but you didn't alter that man's negativity, and your life remained unchanged. Now there's only

01:21:34one life left.'' Yi-yi declared resolutely, ''I'll die as quickly as possible. I'm going to hell anyway,

01:21:40so just shoot me. No matter the body, I'll end it swiftly.'' The Grim Reaper obliged. He awoke to

01:21:47photos of himself from childhood to adulthood adorning the walls. Was he in his mother's body?

01:21:53The memory stone appeared. Yi-yi recoiled, but it rushed forward, flooding him with his mother's

01:21:59memories, memories he'd never known. My mother was once a girl with dreams, then she became a wife and

01:22:05a mother. Her happiness seemed endless until my father's sudden death. I became her sole reason

01:22:11for living. When I fell ill, she carried me on her back, running all the way to the hospital.

01:22:17Her heart shattered because she couldn't take my sickness upon herself. Then she lost her job.

01:22:23She endured darkness far greater than mine, but she never gave up. She tirelessly struggled to raise

01:22:29me. But life's hardships turned me into a fool, blind to her sacrifices. On the day I made my reckless

01:22:35decision, she was at the hospital. She'd gone looking for me and received the devastating call

01:22:40from the police. She collapsed. Holding my lifeless body, she cried, ''I'm here, let's go home. Wake up,

01:22:48don't die, my Yi-yi.'' Tears streamed down Yi-yi's face. The Grim Reaper had said he'd harmed someone,

01:22:54and that someone was his mother. I've experienced countless agonizing deaths as punishment,

01:23:00but the greatest pain isn't burning alive or being dismembered. It's the pain of watching a love

01:23:05one leave you forever. The pain I caused my mother has returned to me. He decided to live her life,

01:23:11his self-imposed punishment. He boarded the first subway train of the day with other elderly passengers,

01:23:18arrived at work early to perform the cleaning job his mother held, felt the aches of her aging body,

01:23:23and experienced the loneliness of caring for oneself alone. He found the savings book she'd kept hidden,

01:23:29the one she'd started when he was a child. The nest egg meant to buy him a home. The next day, Yi-yi

01:23:35boarded a train. Then, following his mother's memories, he exited the station, realizing it was

01:23:41near his own grave. He visited it, understanding that his mother came here every day after work,

01:23:47cleaning and tending to his memorial. He recalled her standing there, blaming herself, ''I'm useless,

01:23:53I couldn't save you, my only child. I told you to be my son again in your next life. I take it back.

01:24:00Find rich, good parents, better than me, so you can be happy. Live a full life next time,

01:24:05promise me.'' Yi-yi walked away, heartbroken, noticing the shoes he'd bought her, remembering her

01:24:11wish to visit Mount Obong, a place she and his father frequented in their youth. He'd promised to

01:24:17take her, but never did. The next day, Yi-yi climbed Mount Obong to fulfill that promise.

01:24:23I want her to see the views she shared with Dad. The climb was arduous. He felt the aches and pains

01:24:29of his mother's body. But he persevered, reaching the summit. He gazed at the breathtaking scenery,

01:24:35imagining sharing it with his mother. He'd kept his promise. He stayed until sunset,

01:24:40descending in darkness. He slipped, tumbling down a steep slope. He couldn't move.

01:24:46''Help!'' he cried. He tried to crawl back up, but collapsed, exhausted. ''I can't die like this,

01:24:52mom, don't die!'' he crawled and mumbled. ''Mom, don't die!'' then lost consciousness on the trail.

01:24:59Time passed. Yi-yi resolved to live his mother's life to its end, honoring her wish for him to live

01:25:05a full life. 32 years passed. Old and frail, Yi-yi reflected on his past life, a life consumed by fear,

01:25:13fear of disapproval, of inadequacy, of rejection. ''I ended my life because of those fears.

01:25:19Only in death did I learn that life itself is an opportunity. All the pain I felt was just a part

01:25:25of life. Sunny days, rainy days, even stormy days they all make up a complete life. It's okay to fail,

01:25:32as long as you keep going. I only realized that living as my mother.'' Then, the elderly Yi-yi closed her

01:25:39eyes, returning to the dark underworld. The clock hand vanished. ''I missed you,'' Yi-yi said to the grim

01:25:45reaper. ''It's been so long,'' he knelt. ''Can you shoot me again? I know you're out of bullets. But I

01:25:52want to live as myself again. Let me live as Choi Yi-yi. I want to hug my mother again.'' ''You won my game,'' the

01:25:59grim reaper declared. ''You avoided death and persisted. My punishment is over. Now, only God's judgment

01:26:06remains. I'll give you one more bullet.'' She loaded the gun, spun the chamber, and said, ''If it fires,

01:26:13you get your chance. If not, God decides.'' Yi-yi took the gun. He pulled the trigger. Click.

01:26:20When Yi-yi's mother called her son, someone answered. A suicide note fluttered in the wind.
