Spooky in Love (오싹한 연애)

SPOOKY IN LOVE

Man, it's nice and cool in here.

Hold on. Why am I avoiding him?

Gosh, you startled me.

Mr. Ma?

Hello.

Where's Yeo-ri?

EPISODE 10

Gang-uk.

What are you doing here?

I got on the first flight after we talked last night.

Wait, you can't…

We're wearing gloves.

Let's at least hold hands like this.

If I see ghosts again, so be it.

I heard from Ms. Eom that the meeting didn't go well.

That's right.

I've been feeling so out of place ever since I got here.

I can't let you feel that way.

Yeo-ri.

I haven't eaten anything all day and I'm starving.

Can we eat before we head back?

I didn't even eat on the plane.

We can do that.

Let's go.

What should we eat?

- Do you like it? - Yeah.

- You must've been starving. - Very starving.

Here.

Thank you.

Here you go.

Can you feed me?

It feels like we're eating underwater. This is fun.

To me, it feels like the fish are watching us eat.

That might be how it is for them.

Oh, right.

I brought this.

Thank you.

I didn't think you'd bring it yourself.

I was only hoping you'd pass it along to Mr. Bong.

I'm touched.

I couldn't just pass it along when it's something you need.

You went through all that trouble to bring this to me,

but I don't know if I can give it to her.

It's not over yet, so let's wait a bit.

Hyeong-min might have some good news.

Hyeong-min?

He's the best at digging up information.

I dare say he's better than most intelligence agencies.

I also did some digging myself.

You said Ms. Han seemed averse when you mentioned her family.

Her dispute with her brother was more serious than we thought.

I found a few articles about them.

Hey, Hyeong-min.

Mr. Ma, I did some more digging.

It looks like Ms. Han posts photos from the same spot after her exhibitions.

She's posted similar photos about three times,

and she just posted another one.

- Where is that? - It looks like

a riverside location in Singapore.

There's a bridge in the photos and I looked it up.

Turns out, it's a big tourist photo spot.

Right, so where is that?

I'll send you the photos and coordinates.

Okay.

- I think he found her. - He did?

- Yeah. - Oh, Mr. Ma.

Yeah?

I went down a rabbit hole from her social media account

and came across some kind of forum.

I'll send that too. Take a look.

Okay, thanks. I'll have a look.

PETITION AGAINST CHAEUM ARTRION'S DESTRUCTION

It might be quicker to find this river.

Yeah, the river.

Let's see. Is that a church in the back?

- We can compare the buildings. - Okay.

This building is right here.

I think we're around the right place.

Over there.

Yeah, that's it.

That's her.

- Let's go up to her. - Okay.

Why did you come looking for me?

Will you please hear me out?

You must think I want to stay on at Reina

because I'm reluctant to give up my position as CEO.

But the true reason I want to stay

is because of something called Siena Hall.

Siena Hall?

It's Reina's wedding venue.

My dad built it,

and my mom managed it.

They both passed away many years ago,

so I always needed

something to hold on to.

That was Siena Hall.

To me, it's a place

that holds the memories I shared with my parents.

Just like.

Chaeum Artrion is to you.

I believe I told you

to leave my family out of this.

I hope you don't get the wrong idea.

We're only trying to tell you

that there's a way to solve your problem.

My problem?

I heard your brother took on a huge debt while expanding the business too much.

That you might lose Chaeum Artrion to property speculators.

Ms. Han,

your own father designed and built that space.

Don't you want to protect it?

You're right.

My brother inherited the place after our father passed away.

It's true that Chaeum Artrion is special to me.

I actually tried several times to buy the property myself,

but they refused to hand it over unless I repaid my brother's debt in full.

And because of the legal dispute,

my brother and I are worse than sworn enemies now.

It must've been so tough for you.

How exactly

are you saying you can solve this problem?

We'll have Chaeum Artrion

designated as a nationally registered cultural heritage site.

Then regardless of who owns it,

no one will be able to damage the property.

Just a moment.

Chaeum Artrion is only 45 years old.

An asset must be at least 50 years old

to be nationally registered as cultural heritage.

The government recently implemented

an Act on the Conservation and Utilization of Modern and Contemporary.

Cultural Heritage.

If an asset would qualify

for national registration as cultural heritage at 50 years,

but needs protection now because it's at risk of being damaged,

it can be designated as preliminary cultural heritage.

If you see here,

there's already a precedent.

NOVELIST YUN HAE-SEOK'S "WRITING CHAIR" DESIGNATED PRELIMINARY CULTURAL HERITAGE

Do you really think it's possible?

For it to be designated as preliminary cultural heritage?

This is how the public reacted when they heard

that Chaeum Artrion could become damaged.

There are many people

who'd be heartbroken to see the place run down,

just like you and me.

The culture and arts community has already been shedding light on this.

If the architecture community backs public opinion,

I'm sure it'll be possible.

Let's say Chaeum Artrion is designated as a preliminary cultural heritage site.

What about after that?

The property will still need maintenance.

Reina will acquire it.

You'll acquire the property?

If your brother hands it over to Reina Cultural Foundation

instead of selling it to property speculators,

we'll conserve and run it as an art and cultural space.

Of course, we'd expect you to be in charge.

Okay. I understand your point.

I must say I'm tempted.

But

let's say I decide to side with you.

How can I be sure that my 3% will be enough for you to win?

Three percent.

I'll get the papers signed by morning and attend the general meeting.

Then Cheon Yeo-ri will no longer have a hold on Reina.

I'll see you back in Korea.

What if

something else were to come up

and you lose your position at the general meeting?

I'd lose my chance to double my investment

and the hope you gave me to save my father's work.

I'm sharing my will and purpose with you.

Because without will,

nothing will ever change.

I will make it happen.

I just need you

to side with me this time.

This is a huge wager for me.

Give me some time to think.

Take this.

It's a gift I prepared

just for you, Ms. Han.

I hope you like it.

Goodbye.

She never gave a clear answer.

Still, you did your best.

Let's give it some time.

You're worried, aren't you?

Hey, Hyeong-min.

Hello? Mr. Ma, did you find the place?

Thanks to you, we met her and got to talk to her.

Thanks so much.

If you're grateful, will you bring back some gifts?

Investigator Ko is pretty upset

that you took time off without telling him.

You're…

Okay. I'll come back with lots of presents.

We'll look forward to it.
