Kokdu: Season of Deity (꼭두의 계절)

I'm telling you that Do Jin Woo can't come back!

Why not!

Kokdu is alive and well like this here, so how could he return!

Then I guess everything will be fixed if you were to disappear, Kokdu!

What?

I'm telling you to disappear, Kokdu.

Please just disappear!

Wait...

Professor...

Professor Do!

Professor.

Professor, wake up!

Professor, please wake up!

Professor...

Please wake up, Professor!

I'm...

back in the afterlife?

He doesn't have a pulse...

Professor...

Please wake up, Professor.

My words were too harsh...

Don't disappear!

Kokdu, please come back...

Come back, Kokdu!

I don't care if it's the Professor or if it's Kokdu.

I won't nag you anymore, either.

Please just come back!

Please come back, Kokdu.

You better keep your promise.

Kokdu...

What did you do to me?

Are you okay, Kokdu?

You're not hurt anywhere?

Yeah.

You're really full of talents, killing me and then bringing me back to life.

I really thought...

you were going to die!

Gosh, seriously...

- That day will come eventually. - How can you do that...

- When you will let me live through death. - You scared me...

Lady, you're like poison to me.

It's not like I hurt my leg, so do you really have to do this?

Be honest.

Is your motive to care for me or to be touching me?

Shall I teach you where your first cervical vertebrae are while I'm stuck to you?

It would be quite the experience.

Hey, kill me only once a day.

What's so good about dying?

You said you were the king of the road to the afterlife.

Whether it's this life or the afterlife,

wasn't death pretty much your life?

It was.

It was, but...

now that I see you again like this,

it's nice to be in this life for once.

Well, if it's nice to be in this life, please be careful.

Your heart stopped beating twice, so this isn't a light matter.

The root cause of my heart problem is you,

so you should be careful.

Problem?

Me?

What's this...

I see...

My beauty that makes your heart stop?

My heart might stop from how delusional you are...

Gosh.

I can understand why people come to the afterlife from repressed anger.

I just said a slip of the tongue to lighten the mood.

More like ludicrous words.

Are those two that much different?

A slip of the tongue is a mistake, but ludicrous words are being delusional.

You didn't make a mistake. You were being delusional, which can lead to someone's death!

Are you a professor of humanities?

Why are you nitpicking at my words?

Whether I'm nitpicking at your words, you should be careful what you say.

Be careful with what I say?

Why all of a sudden?

Since I go back and forth between this and the afterlife with your words.

By chance...

are you saying you collapsed because of what I said?

Because of the shock?

Gosh, come on.

Come on, that's not it, right?

How could I not be shocked when I heard such a curse!

How can I not get hurt?

Just because my face looks young and beautiful,

don't mistakenly assume that my heart will also be the same.

As a result of a thousand years of suffering,

it's become old and battered.

It wouldn't be weird if I were to collapse right now.

If my words are ludicrous, then your words are abusive, Kokdu.

Abusive words that hurt one's mental health.

"Kokdu is embarrassing. I don't like Kokdu. You should disappear."

Those are abusive words!

I'm sorry.

Doctor Han Gye Jeol says not to push you,

but human Han Gye Jeol seems to have a hard time with that.

I'll be a bit more patient and try harder in the future.

Being a bit more patient won't do.

There is the power to save or kill someone in one's words.

So,

never say...

that Kokdu should disappear.

If you don't,

Kokdu, that you know, will disappear like bubbles.

Like the Little Mermaid?

That's really like a children's fairy tale.

Every fairy tale has a horrific ending,

since human beings end up doing what they're told not to do.

Don't worry.

I told you. Sad endings are not my thing.

I will never, ever, ever

tell you to disappear.

Promise.

I'll try placing my faith in you.

I told you I'm fine.

I got you an appointment for a neurology and cardiology evaluation. Just get it all tested.

So many?

I'm really okay. Why go through all that trouble for no reason?

No, because you shouldn't be sick.

What's this?

What's this? Who are you all?

Who are you?

Everything's ready, Chairman.

The Chairman is entering.

Are you a gangster? Why bring a whole entourage?

How could you call me a gangster?

C-Chairman Lee Eung Chool?

That's right. I'm Lee Eung Chool of Boolhwa Group.

Yeah, she recognizes me.

How do you recognize Eung Chool when you don't even watch the news?

I have stocks in his company.

6 shares.

You must be so busy since your stock prices are dropping.

What brings you here, Chairman?

Well, it's not as bad as you make it out to be...

What do you think? He came to escort me out.

Wait, how do you know each other that he would come to escort you?

- I am his- - Leave it to me.

I'll explain.

A chaebol* should care for the health and well-being of every employee.

That is the secret to the century-old business Boolhwa Group's longevity.

It won't collapse. Don't worry.

Hey, employee. Let's go.

"Employee, let's go"?

Employee. Why?

Come with me.

"Come with you"?

P-Please come?

Hyung!

Eung Chool hyung...

Why are you denying me?

Are you ashamed of me?

- Hyung... - Wait...

My stocks are going to fall!

Hyung?

Hyung?

I told you my stock prices would fall, you stupid bastard!

That's right.

Every chaebol has a family secret or two.

Yes, that's right.

Our stock prices are dropping anyway.

I'll take that bastard with me before our stock prices drop any further.

You bastard, let's go! Let's go quickly!

- Come out. - That was fun!

No, wait!

Even if you're worried about your stocks,

how could you take someone who's ill before he gets treated!

Oh, I see.

I guess the Professor was something like that.

A nuisance...

Hey, if you start getting teary here, things will get awkward...

No, I can't stand injustice,

so I can't let this slide.

Get enough rest here.

I'll send him to you after he's done with his evaluations.

No, there are too many evaluations. I'm really fine.

I can go right now. Eung Chool, let's go.

- She's got two more evaluations. - You need to rest!

Lie down here, and close your eyes shut!

All right, let's go.

What...

- What the... - Good job.

Now, go to sleep.

He's even snoring...

Han Gye Jeol orders you around like a servant...

Does that make any sense?

It doesn't.

I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see for myself.

You should've seen how he obeyed her like a pet dog.

How many times do I have to tell you?

It's like the after-effects of the mercy I showed her mom!

- I fell into the pit that I dug. - In any case,

it's a fact that she sent you to the afterlife, right?

But what human being is that almighty?

At this rate, she might start raising people from the dead.

Crazy nonsense.

How do you bring back someone who passed into the afterlife?

I'm just worried.

I don't know how far she could go.
