Private Lives (Private Life / Sasaenghwal / 사생활)

ALL CHARACTERS, LOCATIONS, ORGANIZATIONS, INCIDENTS AND RELIGIONS

DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS

You all know which animal is the funniest in the world, right?

You're right.

It's humans.

They go on about secrets

and make laws to protect those who deserve to be punished.

Think about it.

There's nothing more fun and exciting than the private lives of others.

Everyone is always trying to invade and enjoy

the private lives of others.

So, is it

even possible for one's privacy to stay private?

So, I don't believe in

the private lives of others.

Why?

Because no one's lives are truly private.

They are all contaminated and fabricated.

But you know what?

THE LATE JEONG YOON-KYUNG

I stumbled upon the most uncontaminated version of others' private lives.

Private lives in the raw.

How ironic. Isn't that entertaining?

So now,

I'm going to read them quietly.

The pure private lives of others, recorded by money.

14 YEARS AGO

EPISODE 9

What is that?

Oh, that. It's from your mother.

How could they say no to my daughter? They must be blind to do that.

All of those anchorwomen

can't hold a candle to my daughter.

So don't even think about coming back if you don't pass.

You know what I'm saying, right?

You have to pass no matter what.

It hasn't changed.

-Have you been maintaining it? -What?

Yes.

What a waste of time.

Are we sleeping here?

No.

-What about your meal? -I'm good.

Should I tear down the house and build a new country house?

No. Forget it.

LEDGER

Why are you giving this to me?

Do you know what the purest commodity in the world is?

It's money.

And this is a book of history written by money.

Who might be the most powerful person here?

I'm sorry. Something urgent came up at work.

I'm really sorry.

It's been a while.

What a surprise.

You've been dodging my calls.

Today is an important day for you guys. It's your wedding anniversary.

If you knew that, how could you show up here so audaciously?

What if he sees you?

Sir, are you okay?

Come out.

-Who are you? -That's none of your business.

Please move aside.

Mr. Woo Seok-ho.

Mr. Woo Seok-ho?

You can't take photos.

-No photos. -Sorry.

CHIEF JEONG DAE-SANG

So Woo Seok-ho is in charge

of handling the police.

That prick.

He's ordering me around because he works for GK.

Gosh, that bastard.

What should I do?

I can't believe he's doing this on our wedding anniversary.

I guess I should thank him for it.

Shall we go upstairs?

Wouldn't you feel more comfortable in a room? To talk, I mean.

Have you forgotten that I like shy women?

Let's just have a drink.

Are you seeing Jeong Bok-gi again?

Well, you tell me. What do you think?

Edward, you've become a coward.

You're dodging my question.

-Are you getting old? -I've grown up.

To a grown man, women are nothing more than just accessories.

You are utterly mistaken, Edward.

Women also grow up.

Oh, right. Did you hear the latest news about the detective agency?

The widow launched a very interesting project.

Lately, I have been

receiving way too much attention.

What do you mean?

Chief Jeong.

Chief Jeong Dae-sang.

Yes. I'm listening.

Are you sure it wasn't you?

I don't follow.

Fine.

I get that the police are very curious. I can understand that.

However,

make yesterday the last.

If you keep showing interest in me,

I'll have to take interest in you, too.

Are we on the same page?

Yes, we are.

Then, don't forget to send my regards to Kim Myung-hyun.

I got to go.

You're here, sir.

You know why, right?

-Yes, I do. -Then, tell me.

Tell me why.

I told them to close the case.

But the Violent Crimes Three keeps showing interest in me.

You don't need to worry. I'll take care of it.

You have no idea. You're clueless.

Hey. Woo Seok-ho!

What do you do here?

What is it that you do here, you bastard?

What did you do with that bitch?

Did you go to our affiliated hotel or not?

You did, right?

You pretended to have the same name as Lee Jeong-hwan.

This is no time to fool around with a con woman because she's a looker!

I'm sorry.

Hey.

What do you think will happen if Director Oh finds out about this?

He was against the reinstatement of the Vision Room from the get-go.

He only shut up because you married his daughter.

What if your lawyer wife

finds out about this?

What, then?

What are you going to do if she goes to her daddy and whines about this?

Jeez.

And why did you fall asleep there? You idiot!

I drank a lot yesterday. I drank too much. I'm sorry.

Are you sure it was the alcohol?

Wasn't it something else?

Yes. I'm sure of it.

Move.

You are doing so much for our company but not in a good way.

So what did the police do?

Come on in.

Have a seat.

I bet you're busy.

Yes. You know how it is.

But they aren't all secret cases.

You must be busy trying to close assigned cases and digging into closed cases.

You're also tailing a conglomerate employee. You must be really busy.

Though that doesn't mean you get paid more for it.

Have we been coerced regarding Lee Jeong-hwan's case?

I think you assigned us the case because you had the mind to

close the case abruptly.

Am I way off base?

You're right.

-Yes, we've been coerced. -Who was it?

Detective Kim.

Who do you think has the most power in South Korea?

GK Innovative Vision Room.

Do you honestly believe it was disbanded?

I have been

a cop in Korea for over ten years.

I know that.

Despite that, you made a move.

Then, you must already know how dangerous this case is.

You might

lose your badge for it.

Will you keep at it?

What do you want me to do, sir?

Hey, what's going on here? What is this?

We're sending our best cop to a security center?

Did you get caught badmouthing the Commissioner?

I knew it. So that's what happened.

What did you even say?

I wonder what made him take action immediately.

Hey, rookie. Where do you get all of those silly ideas?

Then what else could it be given the circumstance?

All right, then. I'll head to the security center.

Call me. You, too.

Goodness. What's going on?

-We're going out for lunch. -Okay. Enjoy.

-Kimchi stew. -I had that for breakfast.

Gosh. Again?

I'm here, Myung-hyun.

What?

The chief wanted me to back you up.

Who knew the Chief would be willing to help us like this?

What should we eat for lunch?

You'll need to eat without me. I have other plans.

What? What other plans?

-See you later. -Wait.

Myung-hyun!

Hey.

Nice to meet you.

Say hello.

This is Deputy Chief Kim Jae-wook. He's joining us as of today.

What? "Deputy Chief"?

I'm Kim Jae-wook.

Hi.

You're Team Manager Woo Seok-ho, right?
