It's the start of a new day for your afterlife partner, Jumadeung.
I can't believe it.
He beat a living person intending to kill them?
Goodness.
I did hear some rumors about Mr. Lim.
-Like what? -I heard that Mr. Lim killed someone
while he was still among the Land of the Living.
Really?
Yes, and not just one or two either.
That's horrible.
The whole team's not to be associated with.
A team manager from Hell and a team member who's a murderer?
That's what I'm saying.
Excuse me!
Are you all having fun?
Ms. Jeon, you said Mr. Lim killed someone in his previous life.
-Did you see that happen yourself? -Well, no…
Let's only talk about what we've seen for ourselves, okay?
Let's go.
Let's not get involved with the RM Team.
Don't you all have work to do?
Go on!
I could just…
Jeez, I feel bad.
REAPER DISCIPLINARY ACTION ANNOUNCEMENT
They're running their mouths when they don't know anything.
Mr. Lim should explain things himself.
Do you know what kinds of rumors are going around at the company right now?
They're saying Mr. Lim killed multiple people in his previous life.
Four, to be exact.
Okay, I see.
Come on.
I'm not in a mood to joke around.
I'm not joking.
Come on, I have enough on my mind without you piling things on too.
I know it's because of what had happened to his mother,
but to see someone so rational lose control like that…
And he won't say anything when I ask why, either.
Yu-hwa.
-Yu-hwa! -Yu-hwa!
-Look at you! -Thank you, everyone.
"Hui-hwi-rang-yo."
"Hui-hwi-rang-yo."
"The morning sun shines brightly."
Very good.
Goodness.
My son is so handsome.

EPISODE 11
DEPARTMENT TRANSFER FORM
I know people are criticizing you and Mr. Choi because of my assault case.
I'm sorry.
I let my personal feelings get in the way of work.
As long as you know, it's okay.
I'm used to people talking behind my back.
I don't care about that.
Are you sure you don't need to be by her side?
Yes.
I think it'll be all right.
That's a relief.
Mr. Lim!
Mr. Lim, are you really leaving?
Yes.
Why? Don't go.
I thought you didn't like me. I thought you'd be glad.
That's true, but…
who's going to write all those disciplinary reports if you leave?
I'm leaving because I don't want to write those reports.
So your mind's really made up?
I'm a man of my word.
Goodbye.
Jeez.
Ma'am.
Are you really going to let Mr. Lim go like that?
That's what he wants.
I don't stop people who try to leave.
Still. You know he's only doing this
because he doesn't want to cause trouble for the team.
-No. -No?
I give up. I'm going to tell the Director.
I told you.
Ryung-gu's mother took her own life after getting gang-raped.
Ryung-gu's mother…
and Ryung-gu too.
The Reaper who escorted both of them to the afterworld…
was me.
What?
You know I used to work
in the Crimes Unit, right?
Yes, but why would Mr. Lim…
So I'm telling you, what you heard is true.
I escorted Ryung-gu
because he committed murder.
But…
He's not someone to do that, so why…
Ms. Koo, please tell me.
What exactly happened to Mr. Lim? Why is he hurting so much like that?
There could be something I could be of help with.
What is it?
Mother.
Yeong-sik and Chang-bok keep making fun of me.
What did they say that has you crying so sorrowfully?
They keep making fun of my name, saying it's weird.
They said it's like a dog's…
They sure don't know anything at all.
Your name is a wonderful one.
Really?
Of course.
A noble monk of great virtue chose it.
Come here.
Ryung as in "high."
And gu as in "to rescue."
It means someone who will save many from a high place.
You know how to write too, Mother?
Not all the letters, but I know enough to teach my son.
Mother, there's so much you know, and there's nothing you can't do.
Really? Do you really think so?
Yes.
Stop lying.
Your name doesn't have a meaning.
Yes, it does! My mother told me.
She said a monk of great virtue chose it for me.
She even wrote it down and showed me.
Liar.
How would your mother know something even my father doesn't?
Don't you know you can't take the National Exam
even if you learn how to read and write?
It's completely useless.
Why? We're all people.
You think a commoner's son and a nobleman's son are the same?
They are completely different people!
Wait.
Ryung-gu, where are you going?
Are you running away?
Hey, Ryung-gu!
What is this?
Young master.
Ryung-gu?
Why, your face…
What happened?
Who did this?
Not again…
Vice Minister Kim's son was passing by,
so I asked him if he could teach me to read and write.
And I was beaten for it.
I'm sorry.
I promised you that I'd never do that again.
Goodness, if only Ryung-gu weren't smart then he wouldn't want to learn so much.
He started speaking faster than other kids around his age, right?
Yes, he started talking around his first birthday.
That's why having a smart kid is a problem for commoners like us.
They can't become officials like the noblemen.
Maybe if you were rich.
I heard people buy and sell government positions these days.
Ma'am.
Please, lower your voice.
Come on, it's just the two of us, who cares?
You're so timid.
Ma'am.
Anyway, it's only going to get harder for you.
I know for a mother there's nothing as terrible
as clipping her own child's wings.
But it's still something you must do.
To make life easier for him.
Goodness me.
Ryung-gu.
Yes, Mother.
Why do you like writing?
Words immediately disappear after they are spoken,
but if they are written down, they stay there for a long time.
I think that's fascinating and wonderful.
I will teach you how to read and write from now on,
so you must never go bothering the sons of noblemen again.
Really?
Mother, you're the best!
Thank you so much, Mother.
"Ji-gwa-pil-gae, deuk-neung-mak-mang."
When you've learned of a shortcoming, you must fix it.
When you've learned how, you must not forget.
"Mang-dam-pi-dan, mi-si-gi-jang."
Do not speak of others' shortcomings
and forget not your own strengths.
Mother.
I'm not sure what comes next.
All right.
I will recite the rest, so repeat after me.
Yes.
It's so delicious, Mother.
-Be careful not to get a stomachache. -Yes.
"Hui-hwi-rang-yo."
"Hui-hwi-rang-yo."
The arrow of time constantly urges on.
"The arrow of time constantly urges on."
The morning sun shines brightly.
"The morning sun shines brightly."
Very good.
Goodness.
