Private Lives (Private Life / Sasaenghwal / 사생활)

ALL CHARACTERS, LOCATIONS, ORGANIZATIONS, INCIDENTS AND RELIGIONS

DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS

People still believe in the notion of privacy.

They have a ridiculous idea that the Constitution protects their privacy.

But is that really true?

We live in a world where we feel

like losers if we don't share our private lives.

So we share and sometimes steal people's private lives.

For our personal interest,

we collect, analyze, and use the private lives of others.

Right now, Korea is facing the era of shared privacy while we are engaged

in a war of privacy.

The worst are the people who take advantage of the private lives of others.

So I'm going to find out who those bastards are.

That tenacious dog.

But why did the dog suddenly stop chasing me and disappear?

Why

and when did it start going wrong?

Was it because of President Choi's ledger?

Do you admit to the charges?

Did you embezzle over 100 billion won? Please answer my question.

I will fully cooperate with the investigation.

Prosecution summoned President Choi

of UI Construction for embezzlement,

professional negligence, fraudulent accounting, and so on.

-He showed up at 9:30 a.m. -It's not like you to watch the news.

Hey, how many times must I tell you?

Documentary producers like us must stay up-to-date with the current events.

This is good information.

Okay. I just need to check out my favorite band.

-You brat. -No.

-This means war. -Mom, are you mad?

-Come over here. -Stop it!

-Honey, help me out! -Stop it!

-Count me out. -I told you to stop.

-Hey! -Goodness.

-Hey. -Let go of me.

-At a press conference yesterday, -What are you doing?

-No! -he insisted his innocence.

I'm innocent.

I did not embezzle any money.

On top of that, I did not use any illegal means such as fraudulent accounting

or cash advance loans for personal monetary gain.

How much can you offer for each project?

I'm sure you already heard

I'm the best in this industry.

Previously, President Choi claimed he fell victim to political revenge.

However, President Choi was suspected to keep a secret ledger for bribes…

This is from the prosecution.

Do they have it then?

No.

If the prosecution had the ledger,

they wouldn't use a scare tactic like that.

They'd just use the evidence.

They want you to think they have it like you assumed.

They're warning the people on the list to play nice.

That they'd better not think about

reforming the prosecution and stay quiet unless they want to die.

PRESENT DAY, 2020

So what happened?

What is Joo-eun doing now?

Is she okay?

So you have

no interest in how I'm doing at all, do you?

Why would you say that?

Of course, I'd like to know how you're doing.

But this is pretty serious.

Joo-eun isn't answering her phone.

I'm just worried about her.

The guy who almost became your son-in-law is dead.

-What? -He died in a car accident

on the day of the wedding.

What--

So we don't know if this bastard had set our daughter up on purpose

or if he had been forced to con our daughter.

Oh, Lord.

Another unfortunate soul has joined you.

Please take good care--

Drop your act when you're with me.

Please take care of him. Amen.

I'm here again to tell you how messed up her life has become.

Because this is all your fault.

On the other hand, I am very happy.

My business is getting bigger day by day.

You're awful.

If you feel that way, my goal has been fulfilled.

Oh, Father.

Any calls for me?

I want a cup of coffee, too.

Is she going to pay my wages or what?

Why do I have a bad feeling about this?

You're here. Have some coffee.

I have such a big heart. I couldn't show up empty-handed.

I've brought a cake, too.

Seriously?

Is ignoring me your way of getting back at me?

I noticed the hard drive was gone.

Oh, my. Who is this?

I almost didn't recognize you.

You've aged so much since I last saw you.

It makes me happy.

Are your eyes already going bad already?

Gosh. Look at your dirty clothes.

Did you build a sandcastle with your friends at the playground?

I planted trees to lower the micro-dust level.

That's understandable.

People like you

won't be able to understand the noble value of community service.

You must be desperate. You came back pretty quickly.

They say that bad relationships can get better over time.

I'm starting to find your rudeness adorable as time goes by.

I'm a saint, you know.

Old lady, you'd better speak nicely to me,

so that I can be nice to you.

When will you grow up? I'm mature, not old.

Just now, I wasted my time ditching a college kid who was chasing after me.

Why? Is his father a widower?

What a good son.

You're so immature.

Do you think you can make me feel like a loser if you mock me like that?

I already did. I can feel a loser vibe from you.

Gosh, I should ventilate the place.

You know, I was at a very important place just now.

Did you know that Edward has a puppy?

Aren't you dying

to find out where Edward is now?

Fine. If you want to brag, make it quick.

I'll listen.

You should ask me politely.

Gosh, what a piece of work you've grown up to become.

It's all thanks to you.

Fine.

It's no big deal, and I'm sure you've been dreaming about this moment.

Please, do tell.

Please, tell me.

What's your relationship with him?

DANGER

This secret ledger had personally been filled out by President Choi.

Along with a list of politicians

and high-ranking public officials he had sponsored,

there's also a list of the dates, places, and amounts of bribes he gave out.

-Police. How can I help you? -Someone's died.

The killer is here.

The killer is here!

Who are you?

Are you up?

Who am I?

Let's just say I saved your life.

You can thank me with all your heart. You can mean it.

What do you want?

You should beg me, not ask questions.

Beg for your life.

Beg me to tell you how to save yourself.

Someone's been calling you. Answer it.

You called the police.

The call got cut off. They'll want to follow up.

It's fine. You can answer it.

Answer it and tell them the truth and everything you witnessed.

You can just leave me out of it as I saved your life.

Oh, right.

I need you to do something before that.

You're ridiculous.

What do you want? Who are you?

Don't move.

Do you watch the news?

Even if you don't, I'm sure you heard about President Choi.

I used to be a news anchor.

At which TV station? I don't remember seeing you on TV.

It was local.

Then, you must know

what this is.

What will happen if people find out about this?

Is that why

President Choi was killed?

Bingo.

And right now,

you're in danger for witnessing the scene.

The whole world will be looking for you.

So put it down.

I know you won't shoot me.

Don't come near me. Stop.

Stop right there, you bastard!

Think about it.

Who do you think is trying to lend you a helping hand right now?

Who do you think you should join hands with?

Isn't there a backdoor?

You will leave the country as Gil Heum-mi, a Korean Chinese woman.

But you will return

as Sophia Chung.

Do you have any cold beer or something?

No, I don't.

There's a lot.

Don't drink it. It's mine.

You have one too. You must be frustrated. It'll make you feel better.

Forget it.

I won't drink with you.

What's my relationship with him?

I told you. He was my student teacher.

Come on. Don't act like a rookie.

I'm the one who has the intel you want.
