CONTENTS PANDA presents
a SOYO INC. and VAC.GRIMM INC. production in association with SILVERLINING STUDIO INC.
Genius or not, that is not important.
EXECUTIVE PRODUCER KIM Woo-taek
A star of the art world
has fallen without acclaim
and without integrity.
This reminds us
of the dreaded fates of artists
who were unappreciated in their lifetime.
We will now
act as one
and further invest in the potential
of budding artists.

THE ARTIST : REBORN
PLANNING PAEK Seung-hwan
PRODUCERS JANG Jin-ho, PAEK Seung-hwan
Excuse me.
Can I have one?
I lived abroad for a long time.
I quit before,
but Korea just brings it out of me.
Oh, thank you.
Is that an Americano?
Yes.
Americanos didn't taste like that.
When coffee was introduced to America,
poor Americans started...
Why am I talking about this.
Anyways, try an Espresso next time.
You'll find the essence...
Can you light?
a KIM Kyoung-won film
Taxi!
Long time since?
Yes. About ten years.
I've never been abroad. I've been to Je-ju island once.
But that isn't abroad, is it.
I like getting indirect experience from clients.
Sir, can you change the music?
What I'm saying is that art needs an objective standard.
Right?
What is art anyways?
People think artists pretend to be elegant and all,
but they are just playing tricks.
It's a mess, really.
Do you understand?
Excuse me.
Participation Award OH In-sook
Can you put it there?
Watch your mouth!
How much is it anyways?
You don't have money, do you?
What?
It's that bad?
Come in.
Director?
When would you like to meet KIM Tae-sup, the artist?
Maybe next month.
You're not busy this month. Why next...?
Leave if you are done talking.
Bro.
I'm not sure if we're doing this right.
This commercial art gallery and all...
You don't even seem the same either.
Get out.
Who told him to write this?
Over the top? Is he kidding?
- Ma'am you need to leave. - Does he have a grudge with me?
- What is his problem? - You know he's not bad.
Go and see what's up!
If there are bad rumors, shouldn't you make them good?
Hello, ma'am. You changed your eye shadow!
I never asked for your opinion.
Who are you to add on to this mess?
I've been telling you, this artist doesn't have any color.
And what are you?
What is your color?
Come now, ma'am.
You should now look for...
real artists with no bad rumors.
Good-selling artists are real artists. What else?
And, every artist carries some rumors.
Then we can create a clean one.
Wow, you think you have this industry all down now, huh?
You better watch your back, kid.
- Ma'am. This is all my fault. - I'm sorry.
Kids these days... Think they know everything...
I'll make sure to watch my back.
Set him straight!
Of course, ma'am! I majored in setting people straight.
- I'll do it right! - So long, ma'am!
Jesus, what's your problem?
Please, man!
- Ma'am! - What the...
It's okay. Don't you worry.
The guardian of Patient KIM, please come to the patient's room.
Waiting Room
Number sixteen, please step in.
Hello, my name is KIM Jae-suk.
Though I majored in art...
I like to communicate with people...
Thank you. That's enough.
I'm not done talking yet.
Okay, then finish up please.
I'm not suited for this place.
In fact, I'm an artist.
My kindergarten teacher told me that I was a genius.
I can't elaborate but I was and still am an artist.
Artists make the world a livelier place to live in.
But the world today has become too tough,
leaving no decent artists like me.
So what we're left with are dishonest sellers and frauds,
scumbags and hooligans.
I am going to stay true to my cause
and live an honest life without all this fake stuff.
I will never come here again
and I'll live more confidently, no matter what.
Thank you.
Okay, then finish up please.
I'll do my best.
So Europe wasn't your thing?
What are you doing now?
You should try this...
Never mind.
What is it?
Seoul city just announced their artwork purchase plans.
Which means?
It's basically art investment.
The city buys low and sells high later on.
And who assesses the work?
PARK Joong-shik.
PARK Joong-shik...
Him?
He's not what you remember.
His word is gold in this industry.
Oh crap. It's his lecture today.
You're not interested, right?
How was Venice, sir?
Well, you know it wasn't my first time.
The world now values Korean art highly.
You're setting the tone.
We're all thankful for your work.
- How are your kids these days? - They're good.
Yo, one more so-ju here.
Why are you drinking so much...
Yo, cancel that order.
Are you drunk?
You told me to stop.
Let her drink. Drink up.
Is she your friend?
Sort of...
Hello, sir!
I didn't get the chance to introduce myself.
Nice to meet you!
This was fun.
Let's call it a night.
Sir! Wait!
It was an honor. Can I...
Do you know that your artwork is overrated?
You should be ashamed.
Is that so?
So..
What do you think...
Why did you go to Denmark to study Oriental painting?
That's quite odd.
Don't change the subject, do you like it or not?
I can't decide right now...
Thanks.
Ignorant fools.
Jae-beom.
It was winter.
I found this in Denmark of all places.
I was blown away when I first saw it.
You know that feeling?
Right.
It was a center where artists could exhibit their artwork for free.
But they sometimes hold great pieces.
So I decided to buy this piece
and asked the manager who the artist is.
She pointed at an Asian lady in the corner.
Her face was like...
It was just lifeless.
Why?
I don't know.
It happens.
I said.
I'm Korean.
When I asked her to explain her masterpiece...
I just painted it.
That happens too.
She had a dark look.
Flashing the 'I am an artist' act.
So I asked her for her name.
It was...
Giselle.
Giselle...
Hi, my name is Giselle.
Okay.
Why do you want to paint oriental art?
My mom wants me to.
That's it?
And you? Why study art?
To be a private tutor?
The piece in our living room, it's yours, right?
Yup.
You stopped painting?
I quit.
Why?
Three times a week, so be on time...
That's a waste.
I envy you.
Talented people like you.
It didn't work out.
I heard that the positions were taken already.
By the way, did you change your name?
Giselle, can I steal you?
Oh.
Let me introduce the hottest art director to you,
PARK Jae-beom.
Say hello to each other.
- Hi... - Hello.
Giselle, am I right?
Yes.
Is there a story to that name?
There isn't. Why do you ask?
Just asking.
Now you know each other, you may leave.
Your work is interesting.
Intriguing, I'd say.
How is it intriguing?
You misunderstood.
I like your work, that's what I meant.
I'd like to see your other work.
Feel free to call me, here's my card.
Any time.
Stop being so cold.
He actually means it, you know.
Da-hee's tutoring can start tomorrow.
I envy you.
Talented people like you.
I like your work. Feel free to call me.
Am I late?
No, actually...
- Well... - Yes?
You asked me to call you if I want to show you my work, so...
That's what I said.
Intriguing, did you say?
Yes, a few hours ago.
- Let's go see them now. - Now? No way.
- I have a lot of pieces. - No, it's late.
- I'll show them to you. - No. You're drunk.
- I'm not drunk at all! - You are.
Hello, ever since I was a child, I was interested in trade.
I lived my life with enthusiasm...
I'll do my best.
Please stop, that's enough.
I was going to stop...
Hey, I have a question.
I've been curious... Can I ask you something?
What?
How old are you?
You little prick.
- 32. - 32?!!
Really, you little brat.
Hey!
Acting all grown up.
When did I?
What are you, a snake?
Let me tell you about my past life.
I'm not interested.
Come here. Quick!
I was...
I told you I'm not interested!
Listen when a grown-up talks!
- You ugly looking fool. - Ugly?
Where are you going? Sit, I won't.
I won't.
I won't so just wait here.
Wait right here, you little...
I'm taking your phone.
I walked in to this.
What the...
Look at that freaking face.
- I'm here. - Let's leave.
- Where? Where to? - Your home.
Home? You pervert.
What?
- You want it, huh? - What?
Are you a thug? You thug!
- You think I'm that easy? - What the hell?
What did you say? Stop cursing and sit down.
Sit, now.
Let's drink the rest, we shouldn't throw it away.
Cheers!
Hello?
Is that a rooster?
Ow! Ow!!!!
That hurts!
THEY KNOW NOTHING ONLY GOD APPRECIATES ART
Yes?
Yeah.
Right, but...
What happened last night?
I'm hurting real bad. Everywhere.
And you ripped out...
all my pubes.
I feel... exposed.
Why d'you...
Hey, why pick up now?
This is it.
So you took my paintings?
I'm just getting them appraised.
You crazy son of a bitch.
Bring them back now.
- I'm checking it right now. - You thief!
Okay, I'll be right there.
- You're ripping me to pieces!!! - Giselle, I'll call you back.
Hello? Hello?
This son of a...
She's a new face.
But then I saw her potential.
I visited her studio too.
I'm thinking about mass purchasing her work.
Personally?
The works are great, but...
The problem is the artist...
That's not a problem. What's good is good.
I'll take that one.
Excuse me?
For the next generation.
Did you just say you'll purchase...
Yup.
But you don't buy art.
Well I do now. Tell me the price later.
Thank you.
Thank you, sir!
The artist will be so happy.
I hope so too.
You're not the artist. Why are you giddy?
I don't know, I'm honored I guess.
Tell her I want to meet her next time.
Of course, sir.
Let me get that.
Address.
Ma'am, your address.
Huh?
We need your address to file the report.
Really?
Yup. Your address, please?
Are you okay?
Are you serious?
Damn, I can't take it. It's too deep.
I'm just getting drunk.
Read it carefully.
Thank you.
Police? You went to the police?
Sorry for laughing.
She has balls for an artist.
Perfect, you're just great.
Well I'm drunk.
- Giselle? - Yes?
What's with your expression?
Why?
Are you not happy?
About what?
You know, everything.
I am happy, indeed.
I think I'll leave.
- Let me get you a cab. - I rode my bike, bye.
Jae-beom, can we?
What did you say to sell my piece?
Nothing really.
Emphasized what's good, and played down what's bad.
But I never told you anything.
It doesn't matter.
It's what we do for a living.
But then it's lying.
Let's think of it this way.
Let's say you were trying to make people laugh with jokes.
But no one laughed.
Then is that a joke?
It's not.
Right? I'm right.
It's not lying, am I?
You'll become famous. Congratulations!
Be careful with the bike.
Cows.
You know, cows...
Intestines, head, bones...
We eat the entire animal.
That's how I feel. I'm a cow.
It's actually happening. The US and England are interested.
Some contemporary art galleries are asking for them.
Let's see the circumstances.
Let's stop by New York first,
hold an exhibition and raise some awareness.
Shoot.
Great, all set.
People are being aggressive.
And this is the Korean Auction list. Giselle's piece is on it.
Shoot...
What's wrong?
Yo!
I just asked.
If she doesn't wake up today, we're in deep trouble.
Bro?
My father used to own an antique shop.
And there was a Chinese vase.
Yay small.
Apparently used by royalty.
My father was so obsessed with it.
It was his hope.
One day, an appraiser came.
And after a good look,
he said it was fake.
My father's hope in ruins.
But you know what?
I thought the appraiser was freaking cool.
My family was ruined
and we all got separated,
but I still thought the appraiser was damn cool.
It's Gwan-soo.
Gwan-soo, what's up?
What? A record bid?
Giselle?
How much...?
Tell me everything.
Mortuary
May she rest in peace.
Next up.
Giselle's has set a record in the next Korea Auction,
bringing a cultural turmoil to society.
Giselle In Unconsciousness
Giselle, known as an art genius,
has passed away recently for unknown reasons,
shocking the art world.
Meanwhile, Korea Auction will be exhibiting her pieces soon,
drawing public attention.
It is unknown how many pieces she created,
which will further boost the prices of them.
The coffin will be borne out this Friday.
Genius or not, that is not important.
We will now
act as one
and further invest in the potential
of budding artists.
Next up is the work of a famed artist KIM Young-hee.

This is our target for next year's 1st quarter.
Please refer to the data I gave you.
As you can see, it has been raised.
That's an aggressive number.
Take a look at the list of new artists we'll be working on.
PARK Jae-beom will lead our project of incubating unfound artists,
which will be a multimedia process of new generation...
I told you, heart attack.
What else can I possibly say?
Slight cardiac infarction.
She had trouble with her eyesight too.
My mom had a hard time.
I know...
We all lose someone close to us.
I just wish I had someone when I'm home.
I'm starving.
It could be our mistake, but it happens from time to time.
It's called the Lazarus effect.
She seems good.
We upgraded her room, by the way.
We're very sorry.
You call this a mistake?
This is unbelievable.
Did you throw away all your paintings?
I sold them.
- I'm off. - Mom?
- Yup? - Do you want some money?
I'll be back soon.
All right, mom.
I think what you're doing is revolutionary, Jae-beom.
- What now... - So do I.
Do you know why I work with him?
No.
You know about his eyesight? He's practically blind.
But he doesn't even wear contact lenses, why?
Because he's protective of his eyes.
It was then.
That's when I knew he was chill. So stylish...
Good vision isn't everything though.
Of course not.
Maybe this is the genuine gift of Jae-beom's, really.
As an old friend and as our CEO,
he is special and gifted in every single way.
- Stop talking nonsense. - Why aren't you clapping?
Jae-beom Gallery.
Yes?
Yes, what?
We'll get back to you.
Thanks.
- It's the Ministry of Culture. - Huh?
Apparently, the minister is coming...
What?
This Saturday...
I like him all along. I even voted for him.
You all should have.
- What time? - 10am.
It's time for lunch.
I feel like having sushi.
Sushi? Go ahead.
Nice!
Come in.
Hello.
Hi...
Wow.
This is practically hilarious.
I don't know what happened.
So it's like... Frankenstein. But without the monster part.
Lazarus effect? That's what they called it.
- Laza... - Something like that.
Jae-beom?
Huh?
Are you sick?
No just... Eat up.
Like a flower in the storm, Giselle.
Wait. Leave it on.
Her crisp touch along with her ego
portrays what was long lost in the modern art world.
Her work emits sweetness, encompassing pain at the same time,
similar to the that of a revolting divorce.
- It's a shame that she is no more. - That's really funny.
Funny huh.
I'm gonna get a coke...
That was from the obituary for Giselle presented by Jae-beom Gallery.
Heart-wrenching, really.
I'm glad you're alive.
Giselle?
Does anybody know...
that you're back alive?
Huh?
Who knows?
What does that mean?
Well.
I'm saying that let's try to make a win-win situation,
that's what it means.
We're going to support you all the way.
Giselle is grand now.
Let's keep it that way.
Just paint five pieces a year.
You get half of how much we make and we get the remaining half.
Ten times.
I will make your work ten times as expensive as it is now.
What if I say no?
Listen carefully.
If you stay dead,
the value of your artwork and the assessment,
will stay high.
Maybe it will sky rocket.
That's the essence of Giselle, right?
Right? We all know it.
But if...
And I'd hate to say this...
If Giselle revives?
Will come to nothing. That's art.
So choose.
Will you keep the essence of Giselle? Or...
succumb to the world of art?
What if I still say no?
Then that's it.
Hey, look.
Did I do something wrong?
My goodness.
In fact,
you should know that this is nothing personal.
You know that your work isn't worth what it is now.
Right?
Ma'am. I don't understand what you're trying to say to me.
Teacher.
Let's be realistic here.
Honestly, I should get some credit for your fame.
I'm not saying you should repay me.
What's wrong with acting dead? Everyone is a winner then.
What I'm saying is...
I'm really bad at words.
You do realize you're being ridiculous right?
Why?
How so?
Let's kill her.
No really. Let's really kill her.
There is such a thing as perfect crime.
It's just a phone call away.
No, no need to call.
- Enough. - If people know...
- That's enough... - What's your plan then?
I'm going nuts! Aren't you at least scared?
Are you aware of our debt?
We're screwed if this goes bad.
I have nowhere to go, man.
Jae-beom.
We poured our lives in to this, remember how hard we...
Where are you going? Hey, Jae-beom!
Hey!!!
Dammit...
The art world is in chaos because of one new artist.
It is Giselle who has recently passed away,
causing the price of her art to surge astronomically.
Everyone is now competing each other to purchase her work.
Jae-beom Gallery has announced that they will exhibit globally...
Hey look, god...
How much is it?
That's nonsense.
How much?
Oh well...
Your artwork is overrated. You should be ashamed.
OMG.
This isn't funny.
This is about life and death. Isn't it?
Hwa-seul.
How is this about life and death?
It's about whether I should keep painting or not.
What's up?
I have a question.
That thing you talked about.
Can you elaborate?
One call away or something.
Why must you show up like this every time?
All of a sudden?
I decided to...
continue painting.
I am responsible for Giselle's childhood.
1:20AM, 15th of Aug Giselle Life Reconstruction Task Force
Though Europe seems to give her exotic background,
Korea seems the best choice.
Why?
We might receive funding
as her birthplace might become a tourist attraction later on.
The advantages will be delivered to the next generation.
Fine.
Then how are we molding her "traumatic experience" in her art?
Powerful disharmony with her father might work.
Elaborate.
Giselle witnesses her father having an affair.
Then, father hits his daughter.
So she runs away to escape reality, but nowhere to go.
But during her escape, she gets raped multiple times.
That's where she gets traumatic about men.
Good idea, rape stories always work.
Her father is the key in this story.
Constant abuse causes her to go mental,
and we can say that she spat at her father's grave to add spice.
How about a gay father then?
We'll look in to it.
What about her school years?
Her classmates might recognize her, so plastic surgery won't help...
Let's think this through.
It might be beyond our capacity, if people start questioning.
Let's go for a realistic approach.
Religion is a topic that always gains attention.
Messages that heal people are remembered for years.
We could say that she met a priest in middle school,
and that's when she corrected her rebellious ways.
But if we go too religious, we might be questioned again.
Our interpretation itself might sound spiritual...
What about her getting raped by the priest?
That will enrage atheists and Christians altogether.
Front page worthy.
Our team will look into the religion story.
Remember, we are not remodeling a person's life.
Please keep in mind that we're remodeling the entire art world.
This will last for centuries.
Let's not be short-sighted.
Let's examine the raping pastor story later.
She's been raped too much.
The Modern Cinderella? Korea focuses on the artist Giselle
He looks good! What school?
- Hey! - One sec.
Look at her boyfriend!
Newly Found Artwork by Giselle
Thank you for coming, I'm James KWAK of J2A Gallery.
Fri, 2nd of Sep Exhibition of Giselle's Unknown Pieces
It is such an honor for us to present new pieces of Giselle,
to all of you including guests from Art Association, press and veteran artists.
I feel very grateful.
Minister of Culture has also joined us today.
Minister.
Thank you.
So, here it is.
To begin explaining this masterpiece...
It's not about the money. It's investing in the future.
Will your gallery be responsible for the foundation too?
Yes, and we need your help.
Oh, I tried to find her background but can't find anything at all.
I'm sure her talent was recognized from the beginning.
Can you tell me anything about her?
I'd like to do some interview, as her death is...
That you'll receive a thorough press kit soon.
All TV stations are asking for them.
Why are you working so hard on this glorious day?
- Hello, sir. - Hi.
It's wonderful, isn't it?
Yeah, it's good.
But...
Is something wrong?
Nothing's wrong...
If there's any problem...
It's nothing.
- Professor. - Minister, good to see you again.
Jae-beom, I am so happy.
Happier than ever.
We totally made it.
We're creating the history, right now, right here.
Smell this!
Stop drinking.
I can't even drink now?
Curb that mouth of yours...
What? Is that really necessary?
Say you're sorry.
Say it, now.
What's going on? It seems you're scheming.
It's nothing ma'am, try the champaign.
Excuse...
I'm sorry, my bad.
I'm a reporter from CTB, I've been waiting for you.
- It's fine. - I just need a few answers from you.
Her work is just amazing.
The energy, dignity and all, I love it.
Sorry but I'm busy.
Just a few things, I swear.
The pamphlet has a few typos, I just need confirmation.
It's fine.
What's the matter?
Sure, I can point them out.
I'm a big fan of her.
Giselle is dead.
Made a fortune, eh?
Happy?
Yup.
Isn't that what you're asking?
I understand, yes.
That's life, isn't it?
Screw it...
He's not God.
It's alright, he cannot know.
It'll be alright.
It's fine...
We're making money from a good investment.
No freaking problem, dammit!
Jae-beom, we're screwed.
What now?!!!
Next up.
Controversy over plagiarism can seriously damage the creator's pride.
An artist is claiming that Giselle's paintings are acts of plagiarism.
The similarities are uncanny.
On the left, we have the piece that marked a record at Korea Auction.
- On the right is a painting by A... - Boss.
It's Dae-han newspaper.
A is claiming that the painting style and expressions of Giselle,
along with idea concept are exactly the same as hers.
The timing of the newly found pieces by Jae-beom gallery is also doubtful.
We interviewed some experts on the matter.
Manager, LEE Do-yeop Seoul Arts and Contents
We, Seoul Arts and Contents, believe that...
Chicago Arts Center
The general layout and technicality show immense similarity...
Professor, MOON Hyun-sung Se-kyoung University
The similarities obviously state that this is an act of plagiarism.
AHN Yong-joo Physiognomist
A painter's painting shows the character of the person.
Nothing is set in stone but we need evidence...
Her face suggests that she gets her thing stolen...
We had a similar case in Chicago in the early 1980s.
What year are we...
The year of the black pig...
I'm sure that there are dark forces involved...
Citizen
Giselle, isn't that dance?
Hey, Giselle. I can work this out.
So you can keep up with your work, okay?
Jae-beom, please stop.
I beg you.
No, it's alright. I'm hanging up now.
Hello, ma'am.
It's me, Jae-beom.
Did you enjoy the other night?
Good, it's just that...
Then can I call you back?
Okay, I see. Sorry for this.
Yes?
Yes, ma'am!
Is this a good time?
Did you catch the program?
Mr. PARK calling me for a favor!
I asked Professor PARK and he said it's not a big deal.
Maniacs everywhere.
Yes?
Okay.
This can be limited plagiarism in regard of color,
or indirect way of idea presentation,
or maybe a kind of transformation.
But for now, we do not know if it is an act of plagiarism.
Therefore, we need to believe that this is not a copy.
- So you're saying that... - He looks better, right?
Now take a look at these. The left is an original which I purchased.
The naked eye cannot tell the similarities.
When I first purchased this piece,
I didn't get an explanation of it.
Can't remember a thing.
But I was drawn by a strong force of Mandara.
There was some kind of energy that attracted me.
Mandara?
I heard that it's a method of healing in Buddhism.
In some way, it looks like the moment of conception.
'Manda' in Mandara means essence or nature,
while 'ra' means change.
The cost difference must be huge between the two.
They are two different compositions.
This one emits a Mandara-ian force, while the other one...
portrays energy of birth, like the Big Bang.
Sir, I can see that it is difficult to say that it is plagiarism,
but then why is A claiming so?
I have no idea.
To answer that question, we've invited her to the studio.
Please introduce yourself.
Hello.
My name is OH In-sook.
Before you provide your reasoning, I have a question.
- It has been a turbulent week... - Wow, she is something.
But don't you think...
She has some strange aura?
Are you aware of the criticism surrounding you?
Yes, I'm aware.
You do realize that this is a dangerous game you're playing?
Yes.
Are you sure that this is an act of plagiarism?
Yes. I'm sure of it.
You've already elaborated on the basis of plagiarism,
could you tell us how you actually paint?
But that method isn't just used by you, right?
Well, yes...
And that's weak evidence for a very strong claim.
What are you doing, In-sook?
Say something!
My professor long ago, told me such thing.
That dying artists see paintings through their souls.
Let me ask you a question here, Ms. OH.
Are you Giselle?
- What is he saying? - Ma...ma'am.
If you are Giselle,
it's hard to say that she copied from you, right?
Sir, we're about to wrap...
CHANGE THE SUBJECT
Please give us the answer, honestly.
Are you Giselle?
Why must you show up like this every time?
All of a sudden?
I decided to...
continue painting.
In my own way.
I'm here to tell you this.
What the hell...
I missed you.
Jae-beom, please don't.
You're not a bad guy, you're chill.
I'm sorry.
I really am sorry.
I grew up poor.
All I had were my eyes.
But I believed in them.
And they saw what was true in your paintings.
I'm sorry.
If you are done, please...
Come now, Giselle.
Where did it go wrong?
Nothing's wrong.
Everybody likes it.
Everybody recognizes it.
Isn't it all it matters?
Is that important?
Yes, it is.
That's what's important.
What's up with you, Giselle?
Look.
Giselle.
Giselle, please... Please let me live.
Please.
Save me.
We were a good team.
Giselle is dead.
She shouldn't be alive.
Exactly, she shouldn't be alive.
She should be dead!
Jae-beom.
Let me just...
paint like before.
I miss my old self.
I miss OH In-sook.
Okay.
Fine.
You be OH In-sook.
Let's go back...
Just like you said.
I'm sorry.
Please understand.
I'm so sorry.
Sorry.
World Church!
It should be here.
But why is the address wrong!
Jae-beom!
Where are you!
- Let me sleep, damn it! - I'm right here!
- I'm sorry. - What the hell are you doing?
Do you know where In-sook lives?
Sorry.
Jae-beom!
I really am sorry.
I didn't plan this.
I understand you, Giselle.
I really do.
So you need to understand me too.
I'm sorry.
I didn't want this either.
Let me put you back to where you belong.
Please understand.
Sorry.
Bro...
I have no idea where I am.
I don't know.
Hey.
She's dead.
Yes, Giselle's dead again.
I killed her. I did it.
Good, right?
Now we can go back.
No, no...
Stop screaming!
No, bro...
From now on,
you, me and Gwan-soo...
can order sushi for lunch again.
Stop whining...
It's fine... please!
I'm not suited for this place.
In fact, I'm an artist.
My kindergarten teacher told me that I was a genius.
I can't elaborate but I was and still am an artist.
Artists make the world a livelier place to live in.
But the world today has become too tough,
leaving no decent artists like me.
So what we're left with are dishonest sellers and frauds,
scumbags and hooligans.
I am going to stay true to my cause
and live an honest life without all this fake stuff.
Thank you.
You're in!
Congratulations!
Thank you. Thank you very much.
And Ms. OH, wake up!
Get your head right!
Sorry?
Wake up!
You shouldn't be lying down here! Chill people don't do this!
Wake up now! Wake up!
In-sook?
Nurse...
Here! Nurse!
- Are you donating it? - I guess so.
OH In-sook is Giselle, right?
Just curious...
Did Giselle's value drop? Or did OH's value rise?
I don't know. Your art can go over there.
One more thing...
- That day... - What day?
Hey, bro!
Jae-beom's happening was regrettable.
But it's her wish too.
Bro...
It's the least we can do for her, right?
Don't call me bro.
Sorry.
Sir, let's go.
Gwan-soo, Gwan-soo...
Wait, wait, wait.
Go.
Sir, let's go.
Mom.
Do you know... what my kindergarten teacher
used to say to me every morning?
We should get life insurance.
- Are you Giselle? - Sir... Uh...
Please give us the answer, honestly.
I am not Giselle.
I am OH In-sook.
Is that so?
Yes. I'm OH In-sook.
Then I guess I can live longer.
Okay, right, thank you.
Of course, you are OH In-sook.
