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!
00:03:56Uh, coming.
00:04:19I'm coming.
00:04:21Hey, hey, I guess...
00:04:41Great.
00:04:49I need a drink, man.
00:04:55Do you want to go get the chicken for lunch?
00:04:57Actually, yeah, I will.
00:04:59So good right now.
00:05:01He's not invited.
00:05:03No, you're not invited.
00:05:05You're gonna go without me?
00:05:07Hey, remember me?
00:05:09Yo, yeah, take a seat.
00:05:11Of course I remember.
00:05:13How could I forget?
00:05:15Hey, I'm Sophie.
00:05:17Easy, bro.
00:05:19Sit down.
00:05:20I'm Brian.
00:05:21And as this student has already mentioned, he's Juan.
00:05:23And it sounds like you've met Aria already?
00:05:25Yochi Nari.
00:05:27What 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.
00:05:35Good morning, class.
00:05:37I am Professor Lee, and 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.
00:05:41I'm gonna do Dixon.
00:05:43Caroline Kim.
00:05:45Megan Lanoue.
00:05:47Norman Lee.
00:05:49Norman Lee.
00:05:51Norman Lee.
00:05:53Kwon, Kwon.
00:05:55Becky Mitchell.
00:06:01Fiona Paik.
00:06:03Present.
00:06:04But actually, Professor, could you call me by my Korean name?
00:06:07It's Yoon-sa.
00:06:08Of course.
00:06:09Yoon-sa.
00:06:10Sophie Park.
00:06:12Here.
00:06:14Through the early part of the 20th century, Korea began to industrialize, but was set back by the double whammy of two wars.
00:06:19World War II, and of course, the Korean War that followed.
00:06:25Hey, Sophie! You made it!
00:06:27Woo!
00:06:28Mm-hmm.
00:06:29Help yourself.
00:06:30You ready for your initiation tattoo?
00:06:33Knock it off, bro.
00:06:34That's just a joke.
00:06:35Juan likes to mess with the new members.
00:06:37Okay.
00:06:38I got you, though.
00:06:39Right?
00:06:40We have a lot of events a few times a year, every semester.
00:06:42Some karaoke, gay barbecue, and some mixers, too.
00:06:45Cool.
00:06:46That's way more than we had at community college.
00:06:48Oh, your old school is whack?
00:06:49No.
00:06:50Just small.
00:06:51I felt like I stuck out too much.
00:06:52Well, now you're one of less.
00:06:53Here.
00:06:54Let me add you to the group chats.
00:06:58So, gonna play a drinking game or what?
00:07:00No way.
00:07:01Okay.
00:07:02I'm gonna go first, okay?
00:07:03Never have I ever been forced to take off lessons.
00:07:07What the hell?
00:07:08That's how you play the game.
00:07:09Drink, Brian!
00:07:12Never have I ever taken piano lessons.
00:07:17You never took piano, Sophie?
00:07:18No.
00:07:19My parents recognized pretty early that I have zero musical talent.
00:07:22Lucky you.
00:07:23My piano teacher used to hit me with a stick if my hands weren't positioned correctly.
00:07:27Your turn, Ari.
00:07:28Never have I ever slept with a white girl.
00:07:36Oh.
00:07:37What?
00:07:39What?
00:07:40Don't assume.
00:07:41I like all kinds of people.
00:07:42You're full of surprises, girl.
00:07:45Your turn.
00:07:47Um.
00:07:48Hmm.
00:07:49Never have I ever slept with a white guy.
00:07:59Uh.
00:08:00Could you guys help me translate something?
00:08:02What's up?
00:08:04Uh, it's my Korean name.
00:08:08How do you pronounce that?
00:08:09Uh.
00:08:10Park Joo-hyun.
00:08:16Sorry about that.
00:08:17It's fine.
00:08:18I'll get it, I'll get it.
00:08:19Nice one.
00:08:20Thanks.
00:08:21Shut up, Brian.
00:08:22All right.
00:08:23Here you go.
00:08:24So.
00:08:25Uh, I'm actually curious.
00:08:26Uh, who is this girl you dated?
00:08:27Uh, slept with it.
00:08:28All right.
00:08:29Sophie, you really don't have to.
00:08:30What about?
00:08:31What about you?
00:08:32Oh, I don't talk about Christine.
00:08:33How about we keep playing the game that we're playing?
00:08:36Lovely.
00:08:49Yeah.
00:08:51Sophie, I missed you.
00:08:53I missed you too, grandma, but it's only been two weeks.
00:08:55but it's only been two weeks.
00:08:57Really?
00:08:59It's only two weeks.
00:09:01It's been like two months.
00:09:04Come here, come here. Dinner is ready.
00:09:06Okay.
00:09:14Sorry, Soph.
00:09:16We wanted to do something special for you tonight,
00:09:18but it's been a slow month.
00:09:19It's okay. Still beats the dining halls.
00:09:22Tell us about your new school. How is this, Sophie?
00:09:24It's so much better.
00:09:26It's bigger. It's more diverse. It's more fun.
00:09:28More expensive.
00:09:30Your dad and I met at college.
00:09:33Remember how much fun we used to have?
00:09:35Ew. Rose.
00:09:37Sophie, how is your new school?
00:09:39Tell us about it.
00:09:51Here, give me your hand.
00:09:52Making new friends?
00:09:53Uh, yeah. At least I think so.
00:09:55Actually, they're Korean.
00:09:56Good for you.
00:09:57Hey, maybe you'll pick up a little Korean from them.
00:09:59Gabriel.
00:10:00What?
00:10:01It's such a bad thing for Sophie to learn the language.
00:10:03Well, it's funny you mention that,
00:10:04because I'm taking this class.
00:10:05More of a history class, but still.
00:10:07Yeah, I'm even considering going by my Korean name now.
00:10:10Who said you have a Korean name?
00:10:12I did.
00:10:14Gay.
00:10:15Seriously?
00:10:16She was interested.
00:10:17I don't think this is something we should keep from her.
00:10:19That's not the point.
00:10:20You don't have a Korean name, Sophie!
00:10:23Grandma, calm down.
00:10:24Don't talk back to me, you little child!
00:10:27Mom!
00:10:28I haven't seen her this bad.
00:10:33It's not just the dementia.
00:10:35Sorry, I shouldn't have drenched all this back up.
00:10:39I'm sorry, what am I saying?
00:10:40Forget it, forget it.
00:10:41I don't want to talk about this again.
00:10:42No, what? What?
00:10:43No, Gabe, you're right.
00:10:44She's old enough to know.
00:10:45Sophie, when you were born, my dad gave you a Korean name.
00:10:48Okay?
00:10:49We thought, our side of the family, it was important for you to have one.
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...
00:11:07It was not just the war.
00:11:09It was because of her mother, too.
00:11:12Sophie, your great-grandmother took her own life.
00:11:15In Korean society, that's seen as a weakness in the bloodline.
00:11:19Grandma was an outcast when she was basically your age, while she was pregnant with your mom.
00:11:24We didn't just leave Korea.
00:11:26Korea left us first.
00:11:28But, Mom...
00:11:29As much as I hate to say it, I was wrong, and...
00:11:32We should give your grandma more respect.
00:11:35So after you finish your dinner, please go upstairs and apologize.
00:11:38Are you serious?
00:11:41Fine.
00:11:423-2 pitch incoming.
00:11:43And a base hit.
00:11:442-3 field.
00:11:45Runners out and check them first.
00:11:46Three up, three down.
00:11:48That takes us to the top of the ninth.
00:11:494-0.
00:11:50And with that, we'll take a break.
00:11:52Here's the word...
00:11:53Is this the game Martinez hit for the cycle?
00:11:56I was at this game.
00:11:58There's some things I still remember.
00:12:02Grandma, I'm...
00:12:04I'm sorry.
00:12:05I did not mean to upset you.
00:12:07I just...
00:12:08I was excited that I had a Korean name.
00:12:10Sophie, you have to understand.
00:12:17I moved your mother to this country to protect her.
00:12:21And now I'm trying to protect you, too.
00:12:23Before I forget.
00:12:24Protect us from what?
00:12:26From the family curse.
00:12:27The family curse?
00:12:28Grandma, is this one of your superstitions?
00:12:42This is not a superstition.
00:12:44I know I sound crazy, especially now that I'm losing my mind.
00:12:47But promise me, Sophie.
00:12:48Promise me you won't use your Korean name.
00:12:50Why?
00:12:51I don't think there's any shame in going by...
00:12:52Don't say another word.
00:12:53Sophie, are you okay?
00:12:54Mom, you can't hit her.
00:12:55I'm warning you, Sophie.
00:12:56Don't speak that name.
00:12:57Don't speak that name.
00:12:58Let me see your face.
00:12:59What is she talking about?
00:13:00Honey, don't listen to her.
00:13:01She's just having one of her bad things.
00:13:02This is not one of her normal episodes.
00:13:03She's getting old.
00:13:04This is common at this age.
00:13:05Sophie, where are you going?
00:13:06Stay here and I don't travel like that.
00:13:07Come on.
00:13:08You just got here.
00:13:09Don't talk to me.
00:13:10Stop me.
00:13:27Stop.
00:13:28Why you think she's worse.
00:13:29Why don't you stand like that was a pretty little while she's right here?
00:13:31There's a lot that you're wrong here.
00:13:32You're right.
00:13:33How do you handle the dark looking day now?
00:13:38Don't go back unless you're left pulling off.
00:13:39You're mirrors saying you were saying Santa.
00:13:42Yeah, it's too late to there.
00:13:43People were picking my side up.
00:13:44You may not be mad stay enough until they aren't bitches.
00:13:46You're PI Honey.
00:13:50Oh, hey, cutie, what are you going?
00:14:07You got a boyfriend?
00:14:09I think we're talking to you.
00:14:20Um, I'll get a whiskey.
00:14:50Oh, my God, that 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, I would have been mortified.
00:15:45And June.
00:15:51Sophie.
00:15:56Thanks.
00:15:58So, are you from around here?
00:16:00Yeah.
00:16:00New York.
00:16:01Oh, yeah, same.
00:16:02Okay.
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?
00:16:09I think.
00:16:09No.
00:16:10Yeah, whiskey.
00:16:11I did.
00:16:12All right.
00:16:14Cheers.
00:16:14This weather is so nice.
00:16:18Yeah, I guess.
00:16:20Can I ask you something that might sound kind of weird?
00:16:24Uh-oh, you're scaring me, Sophie.
00:16:25My God, it's not even that bad.
00:16:29Okay, fine.
00:16:30What is it?
00:16:32If 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.
00:16:38I've heard worse.
00:16:39I attended international boarding schools my whole life, so I learned English from a young
00:16:44age and, 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, boarding 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.
00:17:18Maybe 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, but 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?
00:17:39My grandma, actually.
00:17:41Yeah, it was like the first thing she fell in love with in this country.
00:17:43She has all these little tapes that 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.
00:17:49Or 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?
00:18:06Here.
00:18:06I'm sorry.
00:18:20I should have asked you first.
00:18:21That was...
00:18:22Don't be sorry.
00:18:22That was...
00:18:23King 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.
00:19:07Historical accounts claim that thousands of more men gathered at the Kennedy College and
00:19:10even fell into the group.
00:19:12One million people...
00:19:13Selfie.
00:19:18See what's the drink last night?
00:19:20I know how you feel.
00:19:22You alright?
00:19:26Okay.
00:19:27Oh, hey.
00:19:28Here is what you missed.
00:19:29Hey.
00:19:38What?
00:19:40I'm gonna go to Cafe 104 tomorrow with this guy if you and Brian wanna come.
00:19:45Yeah, no thanks.
00:19:46I don't wanna be stuck playing tour guide all day.
00:19:48Okay, 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.
00:19:53It's my culture too.
00:19:56Mmm, but it's really not.
00:19:57Never had to pay the price for it.
00:19:59You claim it now that it's popular and convenient.
00:20:02You think being one of us is eating Korean barbecue?
00:20:04When just a generation ago, my family couldn't even afford meat.
00:20:07See, that's the difference between you and me.
00:20:09I'm not like this because it's trendy.
00:20:11It's who I am.
00:20:13What about the price my family paid here in the U.S.?
00:20:15I mean, you get to go to Ashby and party your little heart out because people like my family
00:20:18took all the shit before you got here.
00:20:22I'm not like this.

00:23:51You and dad ready for the trade show?
00:23:53Almost
00:23:55It's hard with just the two of us, but
00:23:56Anyway, it's getting late
00:23:57You should get some sleep
00:23:58See you in a few weeks
00:23:59Love you so

00:24:41You ready for this?
00:24:59Yeah
00:25:00Wait, why?
00:25:02Should I be worried?
00:25:03No, no, of course not
00:25:04Just my parents aren't like your typical traditional Asian parents
00:25:07They can be kind of extra
00:25:09You mean like they give hugs?
00:25:12Mm-hmm
00:25:13Exactly
00:25:14Oh
00:25:16We're here
00:25:18Oh, Sophie
00:25:19Oh
00:25:20Don't worry about you
00:25:21It's not that kind of house
00:25:22June, nice to meet
00:25:23Oh, come here
00:25:24Oh
00:25:25Come on, come here
00:25:27Come, come here
00:25:28Oh, thank you
00:25:29Where's your grandma?
00:25:30Uh, she's not feeling well
00:25:31Another doctor's appointment today
00:25:33But she'll be down for dinner soon
00:25:35What happened?
00:25:36There
00:25:37So, June, Sophie tells me you're an engineering major
00:25:40Yeah
00:25:41Electrical
00:25:42My family's been in the business a long time in Seoul
00:25:44How long?
00:25:45Well, actually, since electricity first came to Korea in the 1900s
00:25:50That's quite a legacy
00:25:52Uh, Dad, where's Grandma?
00:25:53Maybe I should just go check on her and make sure she's okay
00:25:54Grandma's here
00:25:55Grandma?
00:25:56Are you okay?
00:25:57Are you okay?
00:25:58Uh, Dad, where's Grandma?
00:25:59Maybe I should just go check on her and make sure she's okay
00:26:01Grandma's here
00:26:04Grandma?
00:26:05Are you okay?
00:26:18Mom?
00:26:19This is Sophie's boyfriend, June
00:26:21It's nice to meet you, Imani
00:26:25I've heard such good things about you
00:26:27I'm glad we finally got to meet
00:26:29I can't understand what she's saying
00:26:42The more she forgets, the more she regresses back to Korean
00:26:44Oh, I forgot the cucumbers
00:26:45I'll go with you
00:26:53Is that for us?
00:26:55Oh, actually, it's for her, Imani
00:26:57Sophie said you're from Seoul
00:27:01So, I wanted to get you something from your homeland
00:27:03Thank you
00:27:04So thoughtful, June
00:27:06Mom, go ahead, open it
00:27:08I'm sorry, Sophie
00:27:30She freaked out when she opened my gift
00:27:32Not only on berries
00:27:34Oh, I'm sorry
00:27:35Oh, I'm sorry
00:27:36Oh, I'm sorry
00:27:37I'm sorry, I'm sorry
00:27:38I'm sorry
00:27:39I'm sorry
00:27:40I'm sorry
00:27:41What are you doing?
00:27:42What are you doing?
00:27:43I'm sorry
00:27:44I'm sorry
00:27:45I'm sorry
00:27:46I'm sorry
00:27:47I'm sorry, June
00:27:48Sophie, take a walk outside
00:27:49Go!
00:27:50I'm sorry
00:27:51Sophie
00:27:52Sophie
00:27:53Sophie, wait up
00:27:57I'm so sorry, June
00:27:59I did not know that she had gotten this bad
00:28:01My dad said she's been in and out for a while
00:28:03The hospital for the last few weeks
00:28:05This was a mistake
00:28:08Dragging you into this mess
00:28:09Sophie, stop
00:28:10You don't have to apologize for your grandma being mentally ill
00:28:14Look
00:28:16I've had my demons too
00:28:28If anything, it's my fault
00:28:31I...
00:28:32I...
00:28:33I should've realized
00:28:34bringing something for a past month to be triggering
00:28:35She just has a lot of weird beliefs
00:28:37Like...
00:28:38She thinks our family's cursed
00:28:41Cursed?
00:28:42Yeah
00:28:43She doesn't even want me to use my Korean name
00:28:45It's so stupid
00:28:48Well...
00:28:49You still haven't told me what it is?
00:28:52Now I'm a little embarrassed to tell you
00:28:54I don't even know if I'm pronouncing it right
00:28:59Just say it
00:29:00Maybe I can just show it to you
00:29:01And then you can...
00:29:02No!
00:29:04I wanna hear you say it
00:29:09Choo Hyun
00:29:11Park Choo Hyun
00:29:12Park Choo Hyun
00:29:14You're so beautiful
00:29:14You are so beautiful
00:29:15Good
00:29:16You can't wait
00:29:17Oh no
00:29:18No
00:29:19You can't wait
00:29:20You ask me
00:29:21It looks like a mint
00:29:22You can't wait
00:29:23Come on
00:29:24Oh no
00:29:25Like a mint
00:29:26I'll give up
00:29:27And then you don't have a mint
00:29:28You can't wait
00:29:29You can't wait
00:29:30You can still have a mint
00:29:34You can't wait
00:29:35I want to wait
00:29:36You can't wait
00:29:37How's theimpics
00:29:39Oh, my God.
00:30:09Oh, my God.
00:30:39Oh, 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.
00:31:11Georgia!
00:31:26Georgia!
00:31:36Oh, my God.
00:32:06Oh, my God.
00:32:36Oh, my God.
00:33:07Hello.
00:33:07The prodigal child has me, too.
00:33:09Sorry, I laid down for a minute and passed out.
00:33:12I've been super tired lately.
00:33:13Ari says you've been out a lot with this new boyfriend of yours.
00:33:16Yeah, where is this dude anyway?
00:33:17I want to size him up.
00:33:19Couldn't make it.
00:33:19You were scared, huh?
00:33:21Someone has to be there.
00:33:22I'm glad you can make it.
00:33:30One last time 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, I 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.
00:33:48Let's just have fun tonight.
00:33:49Yeah.
00:33:50Yeah.
00:33:50All right.
00:33:52All right.
00:33:53Ladies and gentlemen, we are here to drink a little, sing our hearts out, maybe even get
00:34:00a little bit emotional.
00:34:02Emotional.
00:34:03But first, we got to 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.
00:34:13You can't truly be one of us if you never had soju.
00:34:16Okay, now you sound like Ari.
00:34:17That's rude.
00:34:19All right.
00:34:19Yay!
00:34:21Yay!
00:34:26Let's get this party started!
00:34:27Yay!
00:34:33I have a question for you.
00:35:03Anything.
00:35:05Would you make a girl wait two days before texting her back?
00:35:09Two days?
00:35:10Girl, you're being ghosted.
00:35:13I wouldn't make you wait two minutes!
00:35:17Wait.
00:35:18Be honest.
00:35:20Is he real?
00:35:21Sajin' is so...
00:35:23Yeah, let's see a picture.
00:35:24Yeah.
00:35:24All right.
00:35:29I can't see his face for shit.
00:35:31No.
00:35:32No.
00:35:32Girl, you got to snap up your selfie game.
00:35:34You know what?
00:35:34Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch.
00:35:36Please stop.
00:35:42Oh, my God.
00:35:43Stop her, bitch!
00:35:43All right.
00:35:44All right.
00:35:45Come on.
00:35:46Back up there.
00:35:46Let's go.
00:35:47This is a song from G-K-K-K-K.
00:35:50It's a song.
00:35:51I know I'm grieving.
00:35:54All the memories floating in the light waves.
00:35:57If you wanna know, you'll be the first to hear it.
00:36:00The story of my life's taking me.
00:36:03I will follow my heart.
00:36:05Believe in my soul.
00:36:07So tell me you will open your hands.
00:36:09Watching over me.
00:39:11Listen to me, if you want to live.
00:39:23Grandma, what are you doing here?
00:39:25Grandma?
00:39:27What happened here?
00:39:37No time to waste.
00:39:39Come on.
00:39:40Come on.
00:39:41Come on.
00:39:43Come on.
00:39:45Come on.
00:39:47Come on.
00:39:51Grandma, is this you?
00:39:55Grandma, is this you?
00:40:09In Korea?
00:40:11Open it.
00:40:12Open it.
00:40:13That's my mother.
00:40:29The night she died.
00:40:30The night she died.
00:40:35That boy you brought home, did you reveal your career name to him?
00:40:43I raised you.
00:40:44I raised you, Sophie.
00:40:46I know when you're lying.
00:40:48Yes.
00:40:50I'm sorry, Grandma, but he was the only one that made me feel seen.
00:40:57I know what's happening.
00:40:58I know what's happening.
00:40:59I know exactly who June is.
00:41:01Generations ago, my ancestor was June's bride.
00:41:09But she betrayed him.
00:41:11He found out that she was having an affair.
00:41:13He killed himself.
00:41:15Displacing his soul became a Christian.
00:41:20A ghost that sought revenge, driving the women in our family to suicide for generations,
00:41:30to be companions in the afterlife, until it became my mother's turn.
00:41:39I was only 19 myself, and heavily pregnant with your mother.
00:41:49He came for her.
00:41:50My 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.
00:42:09I met Korea with your mother, and hid under new names.
00:42:28You see, I figured out that the only way he could find us is through our Korean names.
00:42:34And he found you.
00:42:37What can I do to stop him?
00:42:40The 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.
00:42:49I've been unable to find it.
00:42:51Perhaps his name is stricken from the record.
00:42:56This is my fault.
00:42:58I brought this curse back to our family.
00:43:03I'm so sorry, Grandma.
00:43:06He won't get you, Sophie.
00:43:12I'll make sure of it, if this is the last thing I do.
00:43:18Grandma, you have to eat so you can take your medicine.
00:43:28Just take a bite?
00:43:29Good. Keep eating, okay?
00:43:44Keep eating, okay?
00:43:49Shit.
00:43:50I'm gonna pick up more pills, Grandma. I'll be back soon.
00:43:52So please keep eating.
00:44:01For your protection.
00:44:14I'll be back soon.
00:44:16I'll be back soon.
00:44:44I'll be back soon.
00:44:46I'll be back soon.
00:45:14Oh, my God.
00:45:16I'm so sorry.
00:45:18I'm so sorry.
00:45:27Grandma?
00:45:29Grandma!
00:45:30I 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.
00:46:30I know who you are.
00:46:40And why you're here.
00:46:43I'm sorry my family erased you from your history.
00:46:47But my grandma doesn't deserve this, so just let her go.
00:46:49How about what I deserve?
00:46:52Please let her go.
00:46:56I don't want her.
00:46:59Once 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.
00:47:28Even you can't deny the chemistry we have.
00:47:37So let's make a deal.
00:47:45What kind of deal?
00:47:46You 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.
00:48:02I want my parents here so she doesn't wake up below.
00:48:07Deal.
00:48:08Seal it with a kiss.
00:48:10Seal it with a kiss.
00:48:38Do.
00:48:39Do.
