Pale Moon (종이달)

[The characters, places, agencies, religions, incidents, organizations, and occupations in this drama have no connection to real life.]

The identity of the woman in her 20s found dead near the Geumeun River last week

was found to be an employee fired from SD Savings Bank,

where the embezzlement incident took place recently.

The police are investigating the two cases, believing them to be related.

Back to Reporter Shin Seung Ho.

This way! Come quickly.

Let's get on the bus quickly.

Please hurry up.

This is a nice pair.

Baht! Only baht!

She must be crazy.

Look, she gave me her whole wallet.

One thousand and three hundred baht!

Dirty!

No! Dirty.

Next!

Dirty money...

That woman who ran away with tens of billions of won last time.

How could she carry that much money?

That's true. Where do you think she's hiding right now?

She might not be hiding.

A hundred thousand won!

Should I exchange it for you?

Pardon me.

I saw you at the currency exchange center earlier.

You couldn't get 100 thousand won exchanged, right?

That currency exchange center... Dirty money is still money.

How could he callously deny you just because the money was slightly torn?

He should've just done it for you.

Hey! Just leave her alone and mind your business.

Should we just take the reward money in Chiang Rai?

Reward money?

Wanted criminals for crossing borders are a dime a dozen.

If we can catch just one, jackpot!

Jackpot, my foot.

O-Okay!

We're in the room right next to yours.

You've seen me before, right?

I've seen you around.

So, is she with you right now?

In her room.

She's bringing the money to exchange.

Sleep by yourself tonight.

What should a person look like when disappearing from this world?

What would the end of a person

who betrayed her real life for fake happiness

look like?

Is there anything you want for dinner?

You remember your doctor's appointment, right?

You told Deputy Manager Je to bring a tennis racket to the luncheon meeting, right?

I'll tell Seon Young when I meet her.

Did you set an alarm for your schedule?

You know you're leaving work early that day, right?

I'll only have fruits for breakfast from now on.

- Is your stomach still upsetting you? - No.

My mouth is busy eating, and my head is working.

But your questions are relentless.

Let's start our mornings quietly.

Simple, fast, and efficient.

Get your makeup and hair done on the day of the luncheon meeting.

So you don't look like an ahjumma*.

Hello, ma'am.

In the cosmetics section...

products with various ingredients that assist your skin to preserve...

Why are you packing it like that?

This is all money, too.

I have multiple uses for them.

Let's go!

I'm jealous. Your in-laws have emigrated

and your husband tells you not to prepare breakfast.

Meanwhile, I live in a cooking hell.

You still prepare meals for both parents every time?

It's the consequence of an only daughter marrying an only son.

You live in heaven, don't you?

Yeah, it's a boring heaven.

Life's so comfortable that it's boring?

I'm leaving first. I need to feed my mother-in-law her herbal medicine.

Okay.

Why is everything so expensive?

These good-for-nothings.

Please give me your card.

I gave you my card.

Sorry?

You didn't.

You're accusing an innocent person.

I just gave you my card. I gave it to you!

You didn't give me your card.

You're the one accusing the wrong person.

I want to speak to your superior!

Ma'am, I'll assist you.

I'm positive I gave this woman my card, but she's-

Are you looking for this?

I think she placed the card on the rail, and the items must've pushed it off.

Oh, I see.

You should've given it to me directly.

This is a senior transportation card.

Transportation card?

But I don't even ride buses.

Here you go.

Please take this one...

and this one out.

This, too.

Gosh, this is cutlassfish.

You don't have a card?

Fish get discarded if they're returned.

I'm sorry. I only brought cash.

Excuse me!

Lend me another 10,000 won.

I called a taxi, but I don't have money.

What will you wear to the luncheon meeting?

Will it be pretty?

You're at Ga Eul's house?

I haven't thought about it.

Do some thinking.

What color? What style?

Elegant, sexy, or formal?

You choose first. I'll make sure not to overlap with you.

The company won't give out uniforms to wear to get-togethers for families?

With the major company's logo, "A.F." embroidered right on the chest.

You make a fuss about clothes every time.

I saw these in this month's issue of a magazine.

I bought them last year.

Should I wear white?

The dress Ga Eul said makes me look like a nun.

You still have that?

That makes you look too noble!

That's from three years ago!

Who cares? I'm an ahjumma.

Yeah! You're an ahjumma.

Make sure to wear that. Look noble!

Okay. I'll see you then.

Okay!

Hey, not a chance!

I haven't even removed the tag.

Wear it now.

Lend it to me after wearing it.

Hurry and wear this.

I'll put it on for you, my Ga Eul.

Not a chance.

Goodbye. Hurry and go!

Hey, is there anything you want to eat?

Ga Eul!

- This is nice. - Whoa.

Auntie's over there.

I'm Choi Ki Hyeon.

Hi!

Hi!

There we go.

Oh, the chicken looks good.

Eat shrimp, not the chicken.

Five thousand won per shrimp. Have 12.

- Eat up! - Who is she?

Who do you think?

She's General Manager Choi Ki Hyeon's wife.

- Right! - That guy who's full of himself?

How is she so tall and slim?

She got something done for sure.

Whether it's Ulthera or Shurink.

It's DNA! Genetics for the win.

She never got a single stitch.

We've been best friends since middle school.

Who knows? She could've got something done in grade school.

People get rejuvenating surgery in grade school?

Yu I Hwa?

You are, right?

Hello.

I Hwa, you were an employee of ours?

Wow, how long has it been?

We haven't met since I changed companies, right?

But when did you change your job?

Which department are you in?

I transferred to headquarters recently.

Anyhow, do you still avoid using cards?

Senior Managing Director!

It's been too long.

This is my wife.

Yu I Hwa is your wife, Mr. Choi?

A housewife? Why in the world?

You were HR's ace.

You should work. Why let those skills rot?

My wife is a director at SD Savings Bank.

Yu I Hwa is an angel, but she's sharp as a knife at her job,

so she was called "Angel Knife."

Is that so?

Our company has a support program for women who took a career break.

Let's grab some tea sometime.

I've heard a lot about you, Director.

I'm Choi Ki Hyeon.

- Thank you. - I had fun.

Senior Managing Director!

I practiced the grip Djokovic uses.

I Hwa!

You bought food for your parents?

Je In, let's go.

You never got a card even when you worked at a card company?

What's the real reason you don't use cards?

Breathe, will you?

Why don't you use cards? Why not?

Why not?
