Kokdu: Season of Deity (꼭두의 계절)

Parcel delivery!

Here, give it to me.

It is heavy, so...

All right.

I'm going to die...

When I realized that,

the person I wanted to see the most

Please...

Please come back!

Come back, Professor!

Dr. Han...

Are you all right?

Where...

is this place?

What's wrong, Kokdu?

Does your head hurt, and you feel dizzy again?

I'm sorry, Kokdu.

I felt so pressed for time

so I said something I shouldn't have again...

Who is Kokdu?

Why do you call me that?

Do...

Professor Do?

I mean, why...

am I in an operating room?

I mean,

why is there a patient left alone there?

What aren't people in a hurry to perform the surgery?

Someone set a fire in the ER,

and everyone evacuated because there was the possibility of the oxygen tanks exploding.

Still, how could you neglect a patient like this?

Are you telling the patient to just die?

Are people in their right minds or not?

Who's in charge?

Is it Professor Park Seong Eun?

- Or Professor Kim Tae Hyung? - Why?

What are you going to do if you find out?

What do you mean? Of course, we should have them come in!

Look around carefully.

This is not Seoul Pilseong Hospital, but Yeongpo Pilseong Hospital.

And you are no longer the Strategic Planning Director, either, Professor.

They won't come just because you call them.

What do you mean by all that?

Well, in any case,

the patient ended up in this critical state,

and I temporarily flipped out

- and thought about performing surgery myself... - Wait, Dr. Han.

You're an ER doctor, so you wouldn't have experience performing surgeries.

Well... yes...

Then, you were putting on a bravado with a patient on the line?

So, that's why I told you that I flipped out for a moment.

I mean, why are you yelling at me...

Just stay here. I'll go call someone.

I don't think there is enough time for that.

Dr. Han, you've assisted a surgery before, right?

Yes. Why?

We can't let a patient die in a hospital.

I'll do the surgery.

Scalpel.

Suction.

Retractor.

Take it out.

Professor, the mother's blood pressure...

The child comes first.

I got the baby.

At three, I'm going to pull. Push down firmly.

One, two, three!

The baby's breathing and heartbeat are normal.

Dr. Han, help me.

Who are you guys!

- What are you guys doing! - Dr. Han!

Doctor, take the baby, please.

Okay.

The mother's blood pressure

is normal.

Professor, your hand...

It's nothing. It's a minor cut.

What were you doing, Professor Choi?

Your patient almost died.

As you probably know, Strategic Planning Director,

it was such an urgent situation...

No matter how urgent, isn't it a protocol to check the operating rooms first?

We've emphasized emergency situation protocol so much,

and yet you haven't learned to implement it?

Professor, you shouldn't be doing this here...

I mean, did you properly go through the 12-hour mandatory training?

How could people who have gone through it act like this-

Wait, what...

What are you doing?

Will you keep nagging just because your memory came back?

What's this...

I thought being a director was a position, but is it an illness?

Director Syndrome?

This has been bothering me before,

but Dr. Han...

why do you keep treating me so harshly?

Are you going to say I'm the first woman to ever treat you like this?

It is true that you are the first.

When we met again in Yeongpo, I grabbed you and threw you on the ground.

I guess that doesn't even count as acting harshly against you.

Yeongpo?

Why are you saying that we met at Yeongpo?

That's because...

you, Professor...

fled to Yeongpo after crossing through Cheonghak-dong.

What do you mean? What about Cheonghak-dong,

and why would I flee to Yeongpo?

It seems like he still does have a fever...

I mean,

why do you touch me so freely?

You're right...

I've been touching, treating, and speaking to you carelessly...

It's quite a dilemma as to know whether it's my words

or my hands are the problem...

Professor...

From what moment do you not remember?

I mean...

Up to which part do you remember?

I remember up to the day I was supposed to go to court with you, Dr. Han...

Wait...

What's today's date?

September-

September 23rd?

Is this true?

Is this correct?

Wait, then...

have I been lying in this hospital for 40 days?

You don't remember being Kokdu?

Really?

You really don't remember any of it?

Master Kokdu!

Kokdu... Master Kokdu!

What happened!

You're here early!

What!

Why didn't you two just enjoy your time together and come back after the 99 days are up?

Gosh, I should have just cut off their limbs and used them as pillars of Jeondeungsa Temple.

It would have been great to make a donation and do a good deed as well.

How could you say something like a motherfucker?*

Did you just curse at me?

L-Like a family. Like a family, you know?

How dare you look down on me.

Do you find me pathetic because I ended up like this because of a mere human?

Come at me! Shall I...

Shall I show you the vigor of a Goryeo warrior?

Master Kokdu, Master Kokdu! Come on, Master Kokdu!

Is now the time to be discussing one's vigor?

Then what shall we discuss?

You're right! Shall we discuss love confessions instead?

Confession?

You said if I act like Do Jin Woo, I can get her to confess her love to me.

For Do Jin Woo, it was 'go.' And for me, it was 'back.'

Was this the go-back* that you guys were talking about?

Who would have known that Han Gye Jeol could bring Do Jin Woo back from the dead?

Master Kokdu, since you still have about 50 days left,

- if we do something in that time- - I've got 7 days.

What? You can't even do math now?

If forty-something days passed out of 99 days,

- then 99 minus 40 is- - Shut up!

Since it's been exactly 42 days since Do Jin Woo died,

so I've got seven days left!

What is he talking about?

A spirit can only stay alive for 49 days.

That would be the same for Do Jin Woo.

What will happen when Do Jin Woo completes his 49 days?

His spirit will depart, and his spiritless body will start to decay.

Even if I were to have 50 days, what good would it do me to enter that decaying body?

My eyes will fall out, and I'll have maggots all over my body,

but should I go and beg her to please love me?

That means...

I won't be able to die

in this life.

Gosh...

I suppose you're right.

Since Do Jin Woo came back,

there's no reason for Han Gye Jeol to look for you, Master Kokdu.

I suppose Master Kokdu would have to wait another 99 years.

Why?

Are you glad I got what I deserved?

No way.

Master Kokdu.

This time around, you must trust me completely!

I, Ok Shin, will do whatever I need to do

in order to make Han Gye Jeol call Do Jin Woo...

I mean, call Master Kokdu back-

I'll make sure she does that!

How could I trust a bonehead like you?

Gosh, my bad luck...

My bad luck!

Aigoo...

- If you lie on the ground like that... - Shut up!

Whoa, why are you doing this!

Gosh...

Thank you.

How come you became such a different person

from just having your memory fixed?

Excuse me?

Even your sitting posture is different.

Kokdu...

would be slouching all over the place.
