00:01:29Hey, you look lost. Want me to walk you to class?
00:01:32I think I know where I'm going. Thanks.
00:01:36What happened?
00:01:37Hey, you're at it.
00:01:38Shut up, man.
00:01:39Just...
00:01:39Just make sure you give that to her about three SPM by today.
00:01:49Next.
00:01:49Hi, Sophie Park. I just transferred here from Blue Ridge Community College. I need to register for my humanities requirement.
00:01:58Great. Okay, let's see. Your first choice, history of American's pastime.
00:02:04Hmm. Let's see.
00:02:09I'm sorry. It looks like it's full.
00:02:11Um, gotcha. Um, what about...
00:02:16I'm gonna be honest. You're not gonna get anything that's on this list as a transfer.
00:02:20Um, this is what I have left that'll fit into your schedule.
00:02:24I'm sorry. This is the best I can do.
00:02:27Anything here you might be interested in?
00:02:29So, how was your orientation? Feeling good about the new school?
00:02:34It was good. Just getting settled in. You know.
00:02:38Have you met your roommate yet?
00:02:40Nope. Who knows? Maybe I'll get lucky and get the room to myself.
00:02:43You're still driving back next week as you grab the rest of your stuff, right?
00:02:46It's not really that easy.
00:02:47Are you trying to convert my room into an office?
00:02:49Uh, yes. Until we move this inventory, we're stepping all over each other in this house.
00:02:55Hey, Mom.
00:02:56Why didn't you guys ever teach me Korean?
00:02:59Well, that's random. It's not like I speak either.
00:03:01Grandma only spoke English to me when I was growing up.
00:03:03Well, is that why you guys didn't give me a Korean name?
00:03:08That's a little more complicated.
00:03:10Uh, Grandma wanted you to only have an American name.
00:03:13Why?
00:03:14To give you the best shot at success.
00:03:16Even Grandma changed her name to Hannah when she immigrated here.
00:03:18What was her name before?
00:03:19Who is that?
00:03:20You won't get a...
00:03:21Okay, I won't stop. I told you.
00:03:24I thought it was...
00:03:24Sophie, I've got to go, all right?
00:03:26I love you, bye.
00:03:26I love you, too.
00:03:27You don't listen!
00:03:56I love you, too.
00:04:02Uh...
00:04:18Coming!
00:04:18Uh, coming.
00:04:20Hey.
00:04:42Great.
00:04:48I need a drink, man.
00:04:52I need an alcohol.
00:04:54Do you wanna go get a chicken for lunch?
00:04:56Are we sure you guys?
00:04:58I'm so good right now.
00:05:00He's not invited.
00:05:02No, you're not invited.
00:05:04You wanna go without me?
00:05:06Thank you for the idea.
00:05:08Hey, uh, remember me?
00:05:10Yeah, yeah. Take a seat.
00:05:12Of course I remember. How could I forget?
00:05:14Hey, I'm Sophie.
00:05:16Go on.
00:05:18I'm Brian, and as this student has already mentioned, he's Juan.
00:05:22And it sounds like you've met Ari already?
00:05:28What are you doing tonight?
00:05:29TSS is having their social, if you want to stop by?
00:05:31You should, girl. It's a ton of fun.
00:05:33Uh, yeah, I'll think about it.
00:05:34Good morning, class. I am Professor Lee,
00:05:37and I can't wait to get to know you this semester.
00:05:39Let's do a quick roll call, and then we will get started with today's lecture.
00:05:41Amadou Dixon.
00:05:43Caroline Kim.
00:05:46Megan Lanoue.
00:05:48Norman Lee.
00:05:51Norman Lee.
00:05:53Kwon, Kwon.
00:05:55Becky Mitchell.
00:06:01Fiona Paik.
00:06:02President, but actually, Professor, could you call me by my Korean name?
00:06:06It's Yoon-sa.
00:06:07Of course, Yoon-sa.
00:06:10Sophie Park.
00:06:13Through the early part of the 20th century,
00:06:15Korea began to industrialize, but was set back by the double whammy of two wars.
00:06:18World War II, and of course, the Korean War that followed.
00:06:24Hey! Hey, Sophie! You made it!
00:06:26Woo!
00:06:27Mm-hmm.
00:06:28Okay, Sof.
00:06:29You ready for your initiation tattoo?
00:06:32Knock it off, bro.
00:06:33That's just a joke.
00:06:34Kwon likes to mess with the new members.
00:06:36Okay.
00:06:37I got you, though.
00:06:38Right?
00:06:39We have a lot of events a few times a year, every semester.
00:06:41Some karaoke, gay barbecue, and some mixers, too.
00:06:44Cool.
00:06:45That's way more than we had at community college.
00:06:47Oh, your old school is whack?
00:06:48No, just small.
00:06:49I felt like I stuck out too much.
00:06:51Well, now you're one of us.
00:06:52Here, let me add you to the group chats.
00:06:57So, gonna play a drinking game or what?
00:06:59No way.
00:07:00Okay.
00:07:01I'm gonna go first, okay?
00:07:02Never have I ever been forced to take golf lessons.
00:07:06What the hell?
00:07:07That's how you play the game.
00:07:08Drink, Brian!
00:07:11Never have I ever taken piano lessons.
00:07:16You never took piano, Sophie?
00:07:17My parents recognized pretty early that I have zero musical talent.
00:07:21Lucky you.
00:07:22My piano teacher used to hit me with a stick if my hands weren't positioned correctly.
00:07:26Your turn, Ari.
00:07:27Your turn, Ari.
00:07:28Never have I ever slept with a white girl.
00:07:35Who?
00:07:36Oh.
00:07:37What?
00:07:38What?
00:07:39Don't assume.
00:07:40I like all kinds of people.
00:07:42You're full of surprises, girl.
00:07:45Your turn.
00:07:46Um, never have I ever slept with a white guy.
00:07:57Uh, could you guys help me translate something?
00:08:02What's up?
00:08:03Uh, it's my Korean name.
00:08:07How do you pronounce that?
00:08:08Uh, Park Joo Hyun.
00:08:15Sorry about that.
00:08:16It's fine.
00:08:17I'll get it, I'll get it.
00:08:18Nice one.
00:08:19Thanks.
00:08:20Shut up, Brian.
00:08:21All right.
00:08:22Here you go.
00:08:24So, uh, I'm actually curious.
00:08:25Uh, who is this girl you dated?
00:08:26We slept with.
00:08:27All right.
00:08:28Sophie, you really don't have to.
00:08:30What about, what about you?
00:08:31Oh, I don't talk about Christine.
00:08:33How about we keep playing the game that we were playing?
00:08:51Sophie, I missed you.
00:08:53I missed you too, Grandma.
00:08:54But it's only been two weeks.
00:08:57Really?
00:08:59Only two weeks?
00:09:00Yeah, like two months.
00:09:03Come here, come here.
00:09:04You know it's ready.
00:09:05Okay.
00:09:14Sorry, Soph.
00:09:15We wanted to do something special for you tonight,
00:09:17but it's been a slow month.
00:09:18It's okay.
00:09:19Still beats the dining halls.
00:09:21Tell us about your new school.
00:09:23How is this, Sophie?
00:09:24Mm.
00:09:25It's so much better.
00:09:26It's bigger.
00:09:27It's more diverse.
00:09:28It's more fun.
00:09:29More expensive.
00:09:30That's the solstice.
00:09:31Your dad and I met at college.
00:09:32Remember how much fun we used to have?
00:09:34Mm.
00:09:35Ew.
00:09:36Rose.
00:09:37Sophie, how is your new school?
00:09:39Tell us about it.
00:09:50Here, give me your hand.
00:09:51Make any new friends?
00:09:52Uh, yeah.
00:09:53At least I think so.
00:09:54Actually, they're Korean.
00:09:55Good for you.
00:09:56Hey, maybe you'll pick up a little Korean from them.
00:09:58Gabriel.
00:09:59What?
00:10:00It's such a bad thing for Sophie to learn the language.
00:10:02Well, it's funny you mention that because I'm taking this class.
00:10:04More of a history class, but still.
00:10:06Yeah, I'm even considering going by my Korean name now.
00:10:09Who said you have a Korean name?
00:10:11I did.
00:10:12Gay.
00:10:13Seriously?
00:10:14She was interested.
00:10:15I don't think this is something we should keep from her.
00:10:16That was not the point.
00:10:17You don't have a Korean name, Sophie!
00:10:18Grandma, calm down.
00:10:19Don't talk back to me, you little child!
00:10:20Mom!
00:10:21I haven't seen her this bad.
00:10:22It's not just the dementia.
00:10:23Sorry, I shouldn't have drenched all this back up.
00:10:24I'm sorry, what am I saying?
00:10:25Forget it, forget it.
00:10:26I don't want to talk about this again.
00:10:27No, what?
00:10:28What?
00:10:29No, Gabe, you're right.
00:10:30She's old enough to know.
00:10:31Sophie, when you were born, my dad gave you a Korean name.
00:10:34Okay?
00:10:35We thought, on our side of the family, it was important for you to have one.
00:10:37But Grandma did not.
00:10:38What?
00:10:39What?
00:10:40You're right.
00:10:41She's old enough to know.
00:10:42Sophie, when you were born, my dad gave you a Korean name.
00:10:44Okay?
00:10:45We thought, on our side of the family, it was important for you to have one.
00:10:47But Grandma did not.
00:10:48What?
00:10:49What?
00:10:50What?
00:10:51But Grandma did not approve, to say the least.
00:10:55Why?
00:10:56You have to understand, Grandma lost everything in Korea.
00:10:59So when she came to Georgia, the safest thing to do was just be as American as apple pie.
00:11:03But things have changed.
00:11:05I know that she left because of the war, but...
00:11:07Not just the war.
00:11:09It was because of her mother, too.
00:11:11Sophie, your great-grandmother took her own life.
00:11:14In Korean society, that's seen as a weakness in the bloodline.
00:11:18Grandma was an outcast when she was basically your age while she was pregnant with your mom.
00:11:23We didn't just leave Korea.
00:11:25Korea left us first.
00:11:27But, Mom...
00:11:28As much as I hate to say it, I was wrong, and we should give your grandma more respect.
00:11:34So after you finish your dinner, please go upstairs and apologize.
00:11:37Are you serious?
00:11:38Fine.
00:11:393-2 pitch incoming.
00:11:40And a base hit.
00:11:412-3 fields.
00:11:42Runners out and check them first.
00:11:433 up, 3 down.
00:11:44That takes us to the top of the ninth.
00:11:454-0.
00:11:46And with that, we'll take a break.
00:11:47Here's the word...
00:11:48Is this the game Martinez hit for the cycle?
00:11:50I was at this game.
00:11:57There's some things I still remember.
00:11:59Grandma, I'm...
00:12:00I'm sorry.
00:12:01I did not mean to upset you.
00:12:02I just...
00:12:03I was excited that I had a Korean name.
00:12:05Sophie, you have to understand.
00:12:17I moved your mother to this country to protect her.
00:12:20And now I'm trying to protect you, too.
00:12:22Before I forget.
00:12:23Protect us from what?
00:12:26From the family curse.
00:12:36The family curse?
00:12:38Grandma, is this one of your superstitions?
00:12:42This is not a superstition.
00:12:44I know I sound crazy.
00:12:45Especially now that I'm losing my mind.
00:12:47But promise me, Sophie.
00:12:51Promise me you won't use your queer name.
00:12:54Why?
00:12:55I don't think there's any shame in going by...
00:12:58Don't say another word.
00:13:02Sophie, are you okay?
00:13:03Mom, you can't hit her.
00:13:05I'm warning you, Sophie.
00:13:07Don't speak that name.
00:13:09Let me see your face.
00:13:11What is she talking about?
00:13:12Honey, don't listen to her.
00:13:13She's just having one of her bad names.
00:13:14This is not one of her normal episodes.
00:13:15She's getting old.
00:13:16This is common at this age.
00:13:18Sophie, where are you going?
00:13:19Stay here and I don't travel like that.
00:13:20Come on, you just got here.
00:13:21Don't stop me.
00:13:24Down here.
00:13:25You're close.
00:13:26I'll have to go in.
00:13:27mais
00:13:28I'll have to go in.
00:13:29In the morning?
00:13:30I'm sorry.
00:13:31You got to go in.
00:13:32I don't have to go in.
00:13:33Oh, no.
00:13:34She's looking at me now.
00:13:35I'm sorry.
00:13:36I'll be back in the old school.
00:13:37I'm sorry.
00:13:38I'll be back in the old school.
00:13:39I'm sorry.
00:13:40I got to go in.
00:13:41You're gonna do it.
00:13:42I was like, oh, you're so good.
00:13:43My mum?
00:13:44You're the old school?
00:13:45And you're going to be for sure?
00:13:46I'm gonna have to go in.
00:13:47Oh, hey cutie, what are you going?
00:14:07You got a boyfriend?
00:14:09I think we're talking to you.
00:14:17Um, I'll get a whiskey.
00:14:47Oh, my God.
00:15:17That bathroom line took forever.
00:15:20I was getting worried.
00:15:22Thought you might have bitched me.
00:15:30Can I get you a drink?
00:15:33I'm sorry.
00:15:34I'm probably creeping you out.
00:15:35I'd say you're doing just fine.
00:15:37That was pretty savage though.
00:15:40Okay, I'm an asshole.
00:15:42I mean, if it had been the other way around,
00:15:43I would have been mortified.
00:15:47I'm June.
00:15:51Sophie.
00:15:56So, are you from around here?
00:16:00Yeah, I'm New York.
00:16:01Oh, yeah, same.
00:16:02Yeah, I just started.
00:16:03Same.
00:16:05Really?
00:16:05Yeah.
00:16:06From Korea.
00:16:07Wait, you came from Korea?
00:16:08I think.
00:16:09No.
00:16:10Do you like whiskey?
00:16:11I do.
00:16:12I do.
00:16:12Cheers.
00:16:14Cheers.
00:16:16This weather is so nice.
00:16:17Yeah, I guess.
00:16:20Can I ask you something that might sound kind of weird?
00:16:24Uh-oh, you're scaring me, Sophie.
00:16:25Oh, my God.
00:16:26It's not even that bad.
00:16:29Okay, fine.
00:16:30What is it?
00:16:30If you're from Korea, how is your English so good?
00:16:36I'm sorry if that's offensive.
00:16:37No, don't worry.
00:16:38Um, I've heard worse.
00:16:40I attended international boarding schools my whole life,
00:16:43so I learned English from a young age.
00:16:45And, of course, we spoke Korean at home.
00:16:47Yeah, that's so cool.
00:16:48I wish I grew up like that.
00:16:51Trust me.
00:16:52Boarding school is not like the movies.
00:16:55It's gross.
00:16:57300 pubescent boys who don't use deodorant.
00:17:00Ew.
00:17:00I hope you use deodorant now.
00:17:03But, no, I meant the speaking Korean at home.
00:17:06Well, it's never too late to learn.
00:17:09I don't know.
00:17:11Well, what about you, though?
00:17:12Tell me more about yourself.
00:17:14What are you interested in?
00:17:16I'm still figuring that out.
00:17:17Probably med school, maybe psychiatry.
00:17:20Something where I can help people.
00:17:22What?
00:17:22No, that was such an interview answer.
00:17:26Okay.
00:17:27Okay, well, this sounds kind of weird,
00:17:30but I really love baseball.
00:17:33Did not see that one coming?
00:17:35Yeah.
00:17:35Been watching games ever since I was a kid.
00:17:37With your dad?
00:17:39Uh, my grandma, actually.
00:17:41Yeah, it was, like, the first thing
00:17:42she fell in love with in this country.
00:17:43She has all these little tapes
00:17:44that kind of, like, help her calm down.
00:17:46Actually, she got me my first bat.
00:17:48Still have it, so I won't try anything.
00:17:50Or else what?
00:17:51You'll beat my face in?
00:17:54No, not your face.
00:17:56I like that part too much.
00:17:59This is me.
00:18:01So, when can I see you again?
00:18:04It's okay.
00:18:05Um, here.
00:18:13Okay.
00:18:13I'm sorry.
00:18:20I should have asked you first.
00:18:21That was...
00:18:22Don't be sorry.
00:18:22That.
00:18:23I'm sorry.
00:18:24King Ko-jong kick-started industrial development of Korea at the turn of the century.
00:18:52To this day, the cause of his death is disputed.
00:18:55Many suspect he was poisoned.
00:18:57For a time, during Japan's rule of Korea, he was even written out of the history books.
00:19:02Many Koreans were devastated by the death of their emperor, especially the older generation.
00:19:06Historical accounts claim that thousands of mourners battled the Kennedy Holocaust,
00:19:09including thousands of people in the world.
00:19:16Sophie, seen what's to drink last night?
00:19:19I know how you feel.
00:19:22You alright?
00:19:26Okay.
00:19:27Oh, hey, here is what you missed.
00:19:36Hey.
00:19:38What?
00:19:39I'm gonna go to Cafe 104 tomorrow with this guy, if you and Brian wanna come.
00:19:44Yeah, no thanks. I don't wanna be stuck playing tour guide all day.
00:19:47Okay, what is your problem with me?
00:19:49You really wanna know?
00:19:50Yeah, I'm tired of your shit.
00:19:51I think you're an insult to my culture.
00:19:54It's my culture too.
00:19:55Mmm, but it's really not.
00:19:57Never had to pay the price for it.
00:19:58You claim it now that it's popular and convenient.
00:20:01You think being one of us is eating Korean barbecue?
00:20:03When just a generation ago, my family couldn't even afford meat.
00:20:06See, that's the difference between you and me.
00:20:08I'm not like this because it's trendy.
00:20:10It's who I am.
00:20:12What about the price my family paid here in the US?
00:20:14I mean, you get to go to Ashby and party your little heart out,
00:20:16because people like my family took all the shit before you got here.
00:20:46Hi.
00:20:48Hello.
00:20:52Here, give me a hamburger and mango juice.
00:21:00I'm glad I didn't scare you off.
00:21:03Scared me off?
00:21:04Why would you say that?
00:21:06I wanted that night to never end.
00:21:09I guess because I don't,
00:21:10I don't normally shoot my shot with strangers like that.
00:21:13Plus I was on one because I was kind of having a bad night.
00:21:17How come?
00:21:18Uh, family stuff.
00:21:23We don't have to talk about it.
00:21:32It's not too spicy for you?
00:21:34You think I'm some whitewashed pussy doctor, huh?
00:21:37Maybe.
00:21:39Can't handle my ethnic spices.
00:21:40Okay, fine.
00:21:43I, I just wanted an excuse to feed you some of this.
00:21:53Oh my God.
00:21:55That's so good.
00:21:57Mm-mm.
00:21:59Can I have to take a pic?
00:22:00I love this.
00:22:02Have you ever been in love?
00:22:03Been in love?
00:22:05Wow.
00:22:07Straight to the good stuff with you, huh?
00:22:09I'm just curious.
00:22:11I think so.
00:22:12Maybe.
00:22:13Well then you haven't.
00:22:15What?
00:22:16If you have to think, then
00:22:18you haven't been in love.
00:22:21When you know,
00:22:23you know.
00:22:25It just hits you.
00:22:27Like a freight train.
00:22:28More like...
00:22:30Lightning.
00:22:31Hey, what about you?
00:22:32Have you ever been in love?
00:22:34Once.
00:22:35But she ran off with someone else.
00:22:38She...
00:22:39did not believe in the meaning of forever.
00:22:44You okay?
00:22:47Yeah, sorry.
00:22:49Nothing hotter than a guy with baggage, right?
00:22:51Hey.
00:22:52Come here.
00:22:57Smile.
00:23:04Well...
00:23:05Next time we come back,
00:23:06you gotta follow through on our deal.
00:23:08Spicy chicken feet.
00:23:10Okay, new deal.
00:23:12I will try that
00:23:14if you teach me Korean.
00:23:16Really?
00:23:17Yeah, I wanna learn.
00:23:18I just need the right tutor.
00:23:19First things first.
00:23:20You need a Korean name.
00:23:21See?
00:23:22On my head of the curb,
00:23:23I already have one.
00:23:25What is it?
00:23:26Play your cards right.
00:23:27Maybe you'll find out.
00:23:36I've never met someone like this before.
00:23:38That's exciting.
00:23:40Is he cute?
00:23:41Mom.
00:23:42Hopefully things don't move too fast.
00:23:43We don't need another mouth to feed around here.
00:23:45Mom, stop.
00:23:48But Dad's gonna be thrilled he's a Korean guy.
00:23:49What about Grandma?
00:23:51How's she doing?
00:23:52She...
00:23:53Well...
00:23:54You'll see when you come home.
00:23:55Anyway,
00:23:56you should invite June too.
00:23:57You might like a break from dorm food?
00:24:00Uh...
00:24:01I'll ask him.
00:24:03You and Dad ready for the trade show?
00:24:05Almost.
00:24:06It's hard with just the two of us, but...
00:24:08Anyway, it's getting late.
00:24:09You should get some sleep.
00:24:10See you in a few weeks.
00:24:11Love you so.

00:30:36Oh, my God.
00:30:44Despite rapid westernization, traditional culture has been resilient to modern pressure.
00:30:50For example, chokbos, or family genealogy books, are still maintained in modern day.
00:30:54Examples can be found at the East Asian Library here on campus, which has the most extensive collection of Korean archives in the U.S.
00:31:00They have rare texts, photographs, and primary sources and accounts from provinces all across Korea.
00:31:06Can we see them?
00:31:07Unfortunately, we have to close the library for repairs, but it should be ready to reopen next semester.
00:31:11OK?
00:31:17Julia!
00:31:19Julia!
00:31:20Julia!
00:31:22Julia!

00:31:50yes,
00:31:56Oh, my God.
00:32:26Oh, my God.
00:32:56Oh, my God.
00:32:58Oh, my God.
00:33:00Oh, my God.
00:33:02Oh, my God.
00:33:04Yo, there she is.
00:33:06Hello.
00:33:07The prodigal child has me too.
00:33:09Sorry, I laid down for a minute and passed out.
00:33:12Been super tired lately.
00:33:13Ari says you've been out a lot with this new boyfriend of yours?
00:33:16Mm-hmm.
00:33:17Yeah, where is this dude anyway?
00:33:18I want to size him up.
00:33:19Couldn't make it.
00:33:20You scared, huh?
00:33:21Someone has to be there.
00:33:23Come here.
00:33:29Glad you can make it.
00:33:30One last thing before the holidays.
00:33:32Thanks for inviting me.
00:33:33Sorry I haven't been around lately.
00:33:35No, it's okay.
00:33:36Listen.
00:33:37I probably needed some time to get over the heartbreak.
00:33:40You know, I'm actually glad your boyfriend isn't here.
00:33:43Although I could handle it.
00:33:45You're a good guy.
00:33:46Go on.
00:33:47Let's just have fun tonight.
00:33:49Yeah.
00:33:50Yeah.
00:33:51All right.
00:33:52All right.
00:33:53All right.
00:33:54Ladies and gentlemen.
00:33:56Yo.
00:33:57We are here to drink a little.
00:33:59Sing our hearts out.
00:34:00Maybe even get a little bit emotional.
00:34:02Emotional.
00:34:03Emotional.
00:34:04But first we gotta warm up our vocal code.
00:34:07This guy will find any excuse to get drunk.
00:34:10I have actually never had soju before.
00:34:12Shut up.
00:34:13No way.
00:34:14You can't truly be one of us if you never had soju.
00:34:16Okay, now you sound like Ari.
00:34:18That's rude.
00:34:19All right.
00:34:20Come in!
00:34:21Come in!
00:34:22Woo!

00:38:06No!
00:38:07No, no, no, no, no.
00:38:37Mom?
00:38:39Sophie! Thank God!
00:38:41Your father and I are headed to San Francisco and your grandma's not picking up the phone.
00:38:44Wait, wait, I thought the trade show was next week.
00:38:46There was an emergency with a vendor and we had to leave early anyway.
00:38:49We asked Ms. Collins to check in on Grandma and she says Grandma's not answering the door.
00:38:52Now something might have happened to her so we need you to drive up right now and check on her.
00:38:56I can't believe you guys would leave her alone in the condition she's in.
00:38:59I know, honey, but we wouldn't have done it if there wasn't so much money on the line.
00:39:02Grandma's medical bills have really been piling up.
00:39:07Listen to me, if you want to live. Grandma, what are you doing here?
00:39:29Grandma?
00:39:30Okay.
00:39:32Pretty sorry.
00:39:33What happened here?
00:39:37No time to waste.
00:39:39Come on.
00:40:03Grandma, is this you?
00:40:09In Korea?
00:40:11Open it.
00:40:28That's my mother.
00:40:29The night she died.
00:40:35That boy you brought home.
00:40:38Did you reveal your career name to him?
00:40:44I raised you, Sophie.
00:40:46I know when you're lying.
00:40:49Yes.
00:40:51I'm sorry, Grandma, but he was the only one that made me feel seen.
00:40:54I know what's happening.
00:40:57I know exactly who June is.
00:41:00Generations ago, my ancestor was June's bride.
00:41:05As she betrayed him, she found out that she was having an affair.
00:41:09He killed himself.
00:41:10Displacing his soul became a guishin, a ghost that sought revenge, driving the women in our family to suicide for generations, to be companions in the afterlife, until it became my mother's turn.
00:41:22I was only 19 myself and heavily pregnant with your mother.
00:41:23What?
00:41:24She came for her.
00:41:25My mother only so well.
00:41:26I was 19 myself and heavily pregnant with your mother.
00:41:40She came for her.
00:41:42I was only 19 myself, and heavily pregnant with your mother.
00:41:49He came for her.
00:41:51My mother only saw one way out of the madness,
00:41:53to give in to his demands in hope that her suicide would appease his spirit.
00:42:12I left Korea with your mother and hid under new names.
00:42:29You see, I figured out that the only way he could find us is through our Korean names.
00:42:35And he found you.
00:42:39What can I do to stop him?
00:42:41The rumor has it that finding his true name is the key to helping him move on.
00:42:46But for some reason, there's no record in our family history.
00:42:50I've been unable to find it.
00:42:53Perhaps his name is stricken from the record.
00:42:58This is my fault.
00:43:01I brought this curse back to our family.
00:43:05I'm so sorry, Grandma.
00:43:07He won't get you, Sophie.
00:43:16I'll make sure of it.
00:43:18If this is the last thing I do.
00:43:25Grandma, you have to eat so you can take your medicine.
00:43:28Just take a bite.
00:43:30Good.
00:43:31Keep eating, okay?
00:43:36Shit.
00:43:38I'm gonna pick up more pills, Grandma.
00:43:39I'll be back soon.
00:43:40So please keep eating.
00:43:41For your protection.
00:43:43Good. Keep eating, okay?
00:43:49Shit.
00:43:51I'm gonna pick up more pills, Grandma. I'll be back soon, so please keep eating.
00:44:01For your protection.
00:44:12I'll be back soon.
00:44:42Oh, my God.
00:45:12Dad! Dad! Dad!
00:45:18I'm so sorry!
00:45:27Grandma?
00:45:29Grandma!
00:45:43I don't know how much you know already, but your grandmother's health has declined rapidly.
00:45:47How long does she have?
00:45:49I recommend calling your parents.
00:45:53I don't want to jump to conclusions, but with your grandmother's current condition, she may not have much time left.
00:46:00I'm sorry.
00:46:12I don't want to.
00:46:14I don't want to.
00:46:16I don't want to.
00:46:38I know who you are.
00:46:40And why you're here.
00:46:42I'm sorry my family erased you from your history.
00:46:47But my grandma doesn't deserve this, so just let her go.
00:46:50Tell her what I deserve!
00:46:52Please let her go.
00:46:55I don't want her.
00:46:58Once upon a time.
00:47:02I just needed her to get to you.
00:47:04I want you, Gia.
00:47:14You'll be the perfect companion for the afterlife.
00:47:20You have youth, vitality, and everything I want in a bride.
00:47:30Even you can't deny the chemistry we have.
00:47:34So let's make a deal.
00:47:44What kind of deal?
00:47:47You release her from this, and I'll willingly sacrifice myself to you.
00:47:52You can stop your search.
00:47:55I just have one condition, though.
00:47:58And that is?
00:48:00Give me 48 hours.
00:48:01I want my parents here so she doesn't wake up alone.
00:48:07Deal.
00:48:10Seal it with a kiss.
00:48:11Do.
00:48:40Do.
00:48:42Do...
00:48:44Do...
00:49:06You've reached Kelly Park.
00:49:07I can't come to the phone right now, but please leave a message
00:49:09and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
00:49:11Mom, when you get this, head straight to St. Julian's Hospital.
00:49:13It's an emergency.
00:49:14I'll explain everything later, but Grandma's in a coma.
00:49:35Billy, I need your help!
00:49:36I've been trying to translate these journals online,
00:49:38but it's taking way too long, and I don't have that much time.
00:49:41I know it's a lot, but you should read these documents for me.
00:49:44Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down.
00:49:47Take a breath.
00:49:48Start from the beginning.
00:49:50I'm trying to find the name of an ancestor in my family tree,
00:49:53but since I don't read Korean, I was wondering
00:49:55if you could translate some of these documents for me.
00:49:57Is this for your term paper?
00:49:58You know, you can't expect me to help you last minute
00:50:00when you have been slipping all semester.
00:50:01Actually...
00:50:02My grandma's in the hospital right now.
00:50:06Oh.
00:50:07Well, I'm sorry to hear that.
00:50:09Doctors are saying that she's close to the end,
00:50:11and it got me thinking about our family history
00:50:15and everything that you've taught us in class.
00:50:17My grandma sort of cut ties with everyone in Korea
00:50:20when she immigrated here,
00:50:21and I want to show her our family tree before she passes.
00:50:29Thank you so much, Professor Lee.
00:50:31So...
00:50:33these are articles about your family,
00:50:35as well as...
00:50:37first certificates,
00:50:39marriage license,
00:50:40death records...
00:50:42all passed down to
00:50:44maintain meticulous records of the Lee family
00:50:46in Chong Nogu.
00:50:50At least one person every generation
00:50:52kept a journal of his or her life.
00:50:56Huh.
00:51:01What is it?
00:51:05There's one entry here
00:51:06that's particularly interesting.
00:51:07It's dated October 13th, 1902.
00:51:10It talks about a family member
00:51:11who committed suicide.
00:51:12They found him in the water of a power plant,
00:51:14drowned and electrocuted.
00:51:19It says here his name
00:51:20will be cut out of the family register
00:51:22and buried away from the rest of the ancestors.
00:51:24Does it say who
00:51:25to mention a name, anything?
00:51:26No.
00:51:27No.
00:51:29The name has been scratched out
00:51:30throughout the journal.
00:51:35Professor, is there any way
00:51:36I can get into the East Asian Library?
00:51:39I'm sorry, Sophie.
00:51:40The building's so close for repairs.
00:51:41Maybe I can find his name.
00:51:42If I could just check,
00:51:43then I think I'd...
00:51:44Even if I wanted to,
00:51:45I couldn't help you tonight.
00:51:46The whole building is a hardhat area.
00:51:47You'd have to wait for the construction crew
00:51:48to come back in the morning.
00:51:49I don't...
00:51:50I don't have until morning!
00:51:52I get that this family tree
00:51:53is important to you,
00:51:54but causing a scene
00:51:55won't solve your problems right now.
00:51:57I wasn't.
00:51:58I mean...
00:52:00I'm sorry.
00:52:01I don't have much time.
00:52:02I gotta go.
00:52:08Hey, Ari babies!
00:52:09Okay, I'm gonna be trying out
00:52:10this new flavor.
00:52:11But look how tiny and cute it is!
00:52:12It's like me.
00:52:14Mmm! Oh my God!
00:52:15It tastes like strawberry lemonade!
00:52:16But I bought this with my own money,
00:52:17so it's not sponsored,
00:52:18so you can totally trust me.
00:52:25I think...
00:52:27I've been talking about it.
00:52:28I've had to be like a nothing like this.
00:52:29I don't know.
00:52:30It's all my strange stuff.
00:52:31You know,
00:52:32I mean,
00:52:33I don't be trying to be like...
00:52:34I don't even know these boys.
00:52:35I don't know.
00:52:36You're not trying to find one.
00:52:37I don't even know these boys.
00:52:38It's a great way!
00:52:39When I'm a daddy,
00:52:40I'm not trying to find one.
00:52:41It's all my family!
00:52:42I'm trying to trust you.
00:52:43It's thehill!
00:52:44You're not!
00:52:45It's all my family!
00:52:46I'm out!
00:52:47I'm making these guys.
00:52:48Let's go.
00:53:18Let's go.
00:53:48What the fuck are these?
00:53:59Floppy disks.
00:54:01What the fuck, Sophie?
00:54:02Why are you here? You scared me.
00:54:04You scared me.
00:54:06No one's seen you since you ran out of karaoke,
00:54:08and you haven't been responding to the group chat.
00:54:10And then what? I see you sprinting across campus
00:54:12in the middle of the night, sneaking into this creepy fucking library,
00:54:14and now you're going to smash my face in like you did with Kwan?
00:54:18How's he doing?
00:54:22He'll manage.
00:54:29Look, whatever's going on with you,
00:54:31you know, my therapy...
00:54:31Oh, my God, all right, I don't have time for this, okay?
00:54:33I have to find something in here!
00:54:33And my life literally depends on it.
00:54:48It's not like you could read any of these anyways.
00:54:50What are we looking for?
00:54:51Wait, stop.
00:55:15I think I found it.
00:55:17The Yi family of Chong Luogu.
00:55:18Yep, that's it. That's them.
00:55:20That's my grandma.
00:55:21There's a caption.
00:55:23Uh, okay, it says, uh,
00:55:25Yi Ji-wan at the funeral of her mother, Yi Su-mi.
00:55:29Wait, do you see that?
00:55:32Oh, never mind.
00:55:33I think it's just a smudge.
00:55:34No.
00:55:35That's him.
00:55:37Who?
00:55:38Uh, can you see how far back my family line goes?
00:55:40Uh, okay, Rutgers go back a hundred years.
00:55:43Wow.
00:55:44Your family must have been, like, rich, rich.
00:55:46Okay, put all of this in. Let's get out of here.
00:55:52Um, yeah.
00:55:58Your family's really gone through a lot.
00:56:01I can see why your grandma wanted to start fresh in America.
00:56:03You have her eyes.
00:56:15I'm really sorry I ever denied you.
00:56:18You really are.
00:56:19No!
00:56:20Don't say that!
00:56:22Bitch, I was just trying to be nice.
00:56:24What is wrong with you?
00:56:29What the fuck is that?
00:56:33You're here.
00:56:35Run!
00:56:40Get it, get it, get it.
00:56:49Give me the fucking game!
00:56:53Check out her!
00:56:53Check out her!
00:56:54Check out you!
00:56:55Check out so much!
00:56:57Check, check out the ass!
00:56:58Aah!
00:56:58Ah!
00:57:03I don't know what the fuck is going on, but whatever it is, be careful.
00:57:19Come on.
00:57:20Let's go.
00:57:21Let's go.
00:57:22Where are your parents, little M?
00:57:47Looks like it's just you and me.
00:57:51They're on their way.
00:57:56Going to do this or what?
00:57:59Your choice.
00:58:21Any last words?
00:58:26I'm not going to do this.
00:58:31I'm not going to do this.
00:58:35So you found my name.
00:58:44You really thought that was going to stop me?
00:58:47You wanted us to be one of us.
00:58:53You wanted us to be one of us.
00:58:56Stop fighting it.
00:58:58Time to join your ancestors.
00:59:06Give in, Joohyun.
00:59:08You found your people.
00:59:10We could be together forever.
00:59:15All you have to do is take another step.
00:59:20Keep going.
00:59:37Alles.
00:59:39Oh.
00:59:40Shit.
00:59:41What's going on?
00:59:41What's going on?
00:59:42What's going on about me?
00:59:43What's going on?
00:59:44I think it might be so hard.
00:59:45Boy, apparently, because I'm not going to be such a miracle.
00:59:47Sofie.
00:59:53Tony!
01:00:13My name is E.
01:00:17Ji-won.
01:00:21I'm sparing you from this curse.
01:00:26Live life your own way, Jihyana.
01:00:47We're doing better.
01:00:49We're doing better.
01:00:51You're going to go.
01:00:53We're doing better.
01:00:54Please.
01:00:55I'm just going to skip.
01:00:56Please.
01:00:57Just go.
01:00:58I'm just going to skip.
01:01:00This is beautiful to be home.
01:01:30It's beautiful.
01:01:49It's beautiful.
01:01:54It's beautiful.
01:02:14It's beautiful.
01:02:19It's beautiful.
01:02:29It's beautiful.
01:02:31It's beautiful.
