DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS. ANIMAL SAFETY GUIDELINES WERE FOLLOWED.
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
That's a relief.
You could've been badly hurt.
Mr. Seon.
Mr. Seon!
HEARTBEAT EPISODE 8
I don't know what just happened.
I'm sorry about all this.
Woo-hyeol usually sleeps when he's drunk,
so you don't have to worry.
There's no need to apologize.
If it wasn't for him, I would be in the hospital right now.
I'm grateful.
Exactly.
No one got hurt. That's what's important.
Don't feel too bad about it.
You must've been startled, so I appreciate your understanding.
I'll do my best running the guest house.
I believe in you.
Everyone knows Do-sik has the magic touch,
and I'll help with anything you need.
Thank you.
Thank you for coming today.
Have a safe trip home.
Okay. See you next time.
I'll call you.
How could he ignore all my prior warnings?
He always does as he pleases!
Hae-sun.
All you talk about is Hae-sun!
She left, damn it!
Hae-sun.
Hae-sun...
How interesting.
Was I just seeing things?
I should stop thinking about it.
What the...
Where am I?
Here. People don't peel shrimp for just anyone.
Hae-sun.
Oh, no!
I acted like a fool in front of Hae-sun.
My goodness.
Are you back to yourself now?
Judging by the agony you're in, you must remember something.
Why didn't you
knock me out or something to stop me?
I did.
My body remembers it.
I'm feeling sick after eating so much human food,
-so let me have some ox-- -As if!
What did I tell you?
First, do not speak of Hae-sun.
Second, do not make abrupt physical contact with her.
Third, no staring.
I told you numerous times not to do anything that'll reveal your identity!
You did.
How could you not keep a single promise?
Well...
Did I break all of them?
What would they think
now that you made a scene without drinking a drop of alcohol?
I'm sorry.
But how could I have said no to her when she peeled the shrimp
just for me?
You call that an excuse?
From now on, human food is off-limits! You got that?
Move!
Gosh.
My head is ringing.
Here's the evidence.
This is the evidence?
So you found a whisker that you think belongs to Mr. Ko
in the basement of the mansion where the gold was buried.
That's right.
Therefore, you think Mr. Ko stole the gold.
That's right.
Don't you think you're jumping to conclusions?
This is... How should I put it?
Right. Let's say we found a long strand of hair here.
Won't it be the same as assuming
that Dong-seop has a girlfriend?
What did I do to get dragged into this?
It's an analogy.
A whisker alone isn't enough evidence.
I wasn't going to say this, but...
-What is it? -Cats are known to steal things.
They go around stealing food all the time.
You're being ridiculous.
Speak of the cat.
Isn't it "speak of the devil"?
That's right.
Hey.
Business is slow today anyway, so enjoy.
Where's the soy sauce?
What the heck?
I gave that to a cat.
Who are you?
Nice to meet you. I'm Ko Yang-nam.
The Mr. Ko we've been hearing of?
-Mr. Ko? -Mr. Ko?
Mr. Shin, you have a meeting with a client this afternoon.
Yes, I'm aware of it.
Are you feeling unwell?
No, I'm okay.
Mr. Gu.
Yes, sir.
Do you perhaps
believe in ghosts or superstitions?
Superstitions?
I'm asking
if you believe in supernatural creatures that you see in horror movies.
I'm not sure.
I've never come across one myself.
I see.
Of course.
How can you believe they exist when you've never seen one?
Would you believe in them if you happened to see one?
Of course.
I'd never doubt my own eyes.
You wouldn't doubt them?
I see.
Of course.
I should believe what I see.
What is this about?
Then
let me try trusting your eyes instead.
Here's the soy sauce.
Aren't you the one who came by for a reading?
At least you're observant.
I knew you weren't just anybody.
You instantly figured out my business secret.
All your business secrets seem pretty lousy.
How would this put blood on the table?
And get a haircut!
What's wrong with this?
Did the soy sauce go bad?
Now listen.
I'm going to ask you a question,
and you'll speak the absolute truth.
The gold in the basement of the mansion.
You took it, didn't you?
What are you talking about?
Here.
I even have evidence,
so don't think about denying it.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
You coaxed the innocent Woo-hyeol
into believing that he could become human after sleeping for 100 years.
And while he was asleep,
you took all the gold in the basement.
This whisker proves that you were there.
You're right.
I was in the basement.
Sit down.
However,
the gold isn't what's important to me.
Seon Woo-hyeol.
I went down there to check on him.
Woo-hyeol is like a soft-boiled egg.
He's not entirely a vampire or human,
but something in between.
Didn't you sense something strange?
Woo-hyeol has always been strange.
There's nothing normal about a vampire wanting to be human.
He's living the most crucial but also the most dangerous time of his life.
And he needs your help.
Did something happen to him?
A soft-boiled egg can end up a hard-boiled egg,
but a chick can't hatch from it.
A chick?
What is he saying?
What do you mean by that?
Why would he...
Did he say he wanted to be a chick?
How dare you speak that way about Woo-hyeol?!
Stop being so dramatic and sit down.
Keep an eye on Woo-hyeol.
And let me know if anything is out of the ordinary.
I could've come to your office.
I'm cooped up in there all day.
I called you out to get some air.
Did you get home safely last night?
Yes.
Right.
How's Mr. Seon?
He was completely out of it even though he barely had any alcohol.
I know.
I had no idea he'd get that wasted.
Let me apologize on his behalf.
I'm sorry.
You're not the one who should apologize.
It wasn't your fault.
I guess.
It wasn't my fault.
Right.
I wanted to talk to you about the remodeling.
I see.
I'll speed up the process
by putting together a crew of veterans.
But because the house is old,
it'll take a while to fix things up.
How long?
It'll probably take at least a week.
I see.
There's an apartment the company is renting,
and it's vacant.
How about you stay there?
Well...
Sure, that sounds good.
Really?
Every penny counts these days.
I decided to turn to you for help,
so I'll do just that
and make up for it later.
I'm happy to hear you say that.
I'll set things up for you then.
Thank you.
DAEBAK BUTCHER SHOP
Welcome.
I need ox blood to cure my hangover.
Please give me some ox blood.
I see you were binge drinking.
Hold on.
Have a good day.
How frugal.
I'd just buy myself a bowl of ox blood soup.
Who shall this be?
I don't need to hear more to know who it is.
It's me, Na Hae-won.
I see.
You seemed fairly drunk last night.
Are you all right?
Yes, I'm fine.
How did you get this number?
I'm not one to stay in debt, so I asked Do-sik.
You're in debt?
How much?
You saved my life yesterday.
Don't you remember?
Right.
I only did what anyone would've done.
That being said,
I'd like to express my gratitude with a gift.
Are you free tomorrow?
Hey.
Yes, I'm free all day.
I'll text you the time and address.
See you tomorrow.
All right.
You get calls now?
-It was Ms. Na. -Ms. Na?
Why? What did she say?
She has a gift for me and wants to meet.
A gift?
Shall we?
What...
Is it true?
It wasn't you who called her?
She's the one who called you first?
Yes.
She thanked me for saving her yesterday.
She said she couldn't stand being in debt
and must repay me.
I see.
She's nothing like someone I know who doesn't mind being in debt.
I hope you didn't forget about the IOU.
I'll pay you back, all right?
And until I do,
you'll make me work without paying me.
I'm glad you're aware of it.
The renovation will begin tomorrow.
Do-sik will find us a place to stay until it's over,
so pack what you need.
Me too?
We'll be staying together?
Do you have someplace else to stay?
I decline.
I'll be on my own.
But you don't even have a place to stay.
Of course I do. I have plenty.
Don't tell me you're going to your friends that I met last time.
Yes.
Well...
It'll be nice to catch up since it's been a while.
I'll stay with them,
so don't worry about me
and enjoy some time alone with Do-sik.
Don't be ridiculous.
It's not like I'm going there to party.
If I had known, I would've just opted to stay elsewhere.
Why won't you go when I arranged everything for you?
Wouldn't it be more comfortable without me around?
The same goes for me too.
Fine then.
Right.
And watch yourself in front of Ms. Na.
I won't forgive you if you mess up.
It's not like I wanted him to come.
What? Enjoy our time alone?
Says the guy who's over the moon about receiving a gift.
Do you think we patrol because we want to?
We wouldn't be doing this if the area had been redeveloped.
That hideous mansion
has been causing everyone so much trouble.
There were talks of redevelopment?
Yes, but the owner of the mansion adamantly refused to sell his property
so it never happened.
What's so special about this old house?
I wouldn't be this frustrated if I at least knew
if you were dead or alive.
Why
do I only see my reflection in Butler Joo's eyes?
Could it have something to do
with her opening the coffin?
-Hey. -The weather's good.
How about we go for a drive?
I have plans.
What plans?
I have a date with a handsome lunatic.
A handsome lunatic?
Yes.
So don't call me today.
I'll be busy. Bye.
Strangely enough, he's been on my mind.
He must be good-looking.
He lives in that mansion.
Talk about coincidence.
Damn it.
Mr. Seon.
Did you wait for long?
No.
I just got here myself.
Shall we head inside?
It really is Seon Woo-hyeol.
Do you like paintings?
I love to paint,
but it's my first time
seeing other people's works.
Do you paint?
In my younger years,
I was told I was gifted.
Bees and butterflies
would gently rest on my paintings.
I'd love to see your paintings.
Don't move.
I told you not to move.
I've been meaning to ask,
but why do you look at me that way?
Why do you look at me so longingly
as if I'm someone from your past?
There seems to be
a misunderstanding.
You've been doing that ever since we met.
It bothers me.
I still don't see
my reflection in her eyes.
Do I look like the woman named Hae-sun that you keep mentioning?
No.
I'm often told
that I have expressive eyes.
Please don't think much of it.
This is pretty.
Don't they look like stars in bloom?
Doesn't it look like a star in bloom?
I'd like to buy this for you as a gift.
Hang it somewhere appropriate when the guest house is renovated.
I hope it fits the new place.
Do-sik,
how much does this place cost per...
Forget it.
I wouldn't be able to stay here if I knew,
so I won't ask.
Good. I like that attitude.
It'll be vacant if not for you,
so don't feel burdened.
Okay.
I'll wait in the lobby, so join me after you unpack.
I made a reservation at a restaurant nearby.
I see.
Okay, I'll be right down.
-All right. -Yes.
It's so nice here.
Do-sik.
I've never eaten at an expensive restaurant like this
that serves tiny portions.
Enjoy.
Thank you.
By the way,
will Mr. Seon really be all right?
He's staying with his friends.
I see.
Will he stay at the guest house
even after it opens for business?
Yes.
That'll probably be the case until things get sorted out.
The more I get to know him, the more unusual he is.
Sorry?
Nothing. Let's eat.
I'm not trying to scare you before the guest house even opens,
but it won't be easy dealing with people
while running the place.
I hope you're ready for that.
Of course.
I've worked all kinds of part-time jobs.
You're right.
Do you remember?
I often ate at the restaurant you worked at.
You're right. I remember.
You came by with a different friend almost every day.
I did.
I envied you back then.
Me? Why?
You could afford to eat the steak there almost every day.
I assumed you were loaded.
Was the steak that delicious?
To be honest, it was bad.
I didn't even want to touch it in the end.
Really?
Then why...
I went there to see you.
You didn't know?
No way.
Why else would I have eaten at that mediocre restaurant so often?
You really didn't know?
This is frustrating.
Do you remember attending to my wound after I fell off my bicycle?
Yes, I remember that.
You tried to hold me accountable a few days later.
You two go ahead.
We meet again.
I'm the bicycle guy.
Right.
How's your hand?
I think it's going to leave a scar.
-I'll have to hold you responsible. -Sorry?
Let's eat lunch together until it heals.
Bring me a doctor's note then.
You have no idea how embarrassed I was.
You can be really scary when you speak with a straight face.
Really?
I couldn't ask you out after that.
CENTRAL LIBRARY
In-hae.
Hey, Do-sik.
Let's go eat.
It'll be on me.
I have a part-time job to get to.
You have no idea how scary your tone and expression were.
I still have nightmares.
Oh, come on.
I didn't think I'd ever see you again.
It's nice being here with you.
Reconnecting with you sent me back in time.
I'm having fun, and I feel excited.
I want to see you smile more.
I want to make it happen.
I mean it.
We should go for a drive out of town if you're free tomorrow.
You'd be bored cooped up inside.
It'd be nice to get some fresh air at a nice cafe.
What do you say?
Do-sik.
You said earlier
that you want to see me smile more.
I feel the same way.
I want the guest house to be a success
so that you and Ms. Na can also be happy.
I understand your feelings for me,
but I want to focus my time on the guest house for now.
I think that's what I should do to repay everyone for helping me.
I didn't want anything in return.
But if that's how you feel...
All right, I hear you.
You're quite ambitious, Ms. Joo.
It'll be a success,
and I'll keep helping.
Thanks, Do-sik.
I mean it.
Shall we go?
I've been meaning to ask,
but why do you look at me that way?
Why do you look at me so longingly
as if I'm someone from your past?
Woo-hyeol.
Are you just getting back?
Is something up?
I'll have to put you out.
-What? -What?
I'm glad you came.
Make yourself at home, and enjoy your stay.
All right. Thanks, Dong-seop.
Why did you have to come to this tiny rooftop house?
Can you move?
It's cramped as is.
I just had these washed.
Won't you be better off staying at the place he provided?
It'd be best for everyone.
You don't seem to understand.
I need to be gone
for the two of them to spend more time alone.
I wonder if that Do-sik guy is making the right moves.
But it's not like I can ask him.
Anyway, how was it for you?
You met her for the first time in 400 years.
She asked
why I kept looking at her so longingly.
But I couldn't tell her the truth.
I couldn't say
that I waited for her for 400 years.
Let's drink.
Butler Joo told me
not to see her as Hae-sun
but as Hae-won who she is today.
However, it's easier said than done.
That Butler Joo.
Who gives her the right to tell you what to do
when she's the reason you failed to become human?
Damn it.
I don't know if it's the right moment to say this, but...
You're going to anyway.
We finally
got to see Mr. Ko in the flesh.
Mr. Ko?
Although I did meet him before.
And he said
that you are currently
in the most crucial but dangerous moment of your life.
He said that to you two as well?
Then again,
I'm sure he's worried.
He said we should keep an eye on you.
There's nothing wrong, is there?
Everything's good. I'm fine.
I apologize for making you two worry.
Please don't apologize.
We just want you to become human as soon as possible
so that you can be happy.
You know we're always on your side, right?
Come here.
What...
Not among vampires, damn it.
My brothers!
Boys, at least let me breathe.
-You... All right. -My brothers.
I get it!
Are you crying?
I wonder how his date with Ms. Na went.
Does he actually have a place to stay?
Whatever.
I'm sure he's fine.
These little punks.
These little...
You must be doing fine.
Do-sik must've treated you to a fine meal at a nice place,
and now you're enjoying each other's company.
Your heart will soon be bursting with love.
Finally...
Finally.
How did it go with Ms. Na today?
I hope you didn't slip up.
Are you asleep?
BUTLER JOO
Hello?
Why aren't you saying anything?
Right.
Well...
What are you up to?
Me?
I was about to go to sleep.
But I can't seem to because I'm not used to the place.
Is the place all right for you?
Of course. It's amazing here.
It's spacious and clean.
Do-sik must've pulled out all the stops for you.
You should've just come with me when I asked.
Is your friends' place that nice?
Here?
It's great. The view is spectacular.
I can see all of Seoul.
Really?
Your friends must live somewhere nice
despite not seeming that well off.
What?
It's not right to judge a book by its cover.
So how did it go with Ms. Na?
Was there another mishap?
Right.
Well...
I abided by all your rules.
I didn't refer to her as Hae-sun,
didn't make physical contact,
didn't eat any human food, and parted ways before dark.
Well done.
And here I was worried about you slipping up again.
What...
did you just say?
What?
That I was worried about you slipping up.
No, before that.
Well done.
That's nice to hear.
I'm glad to hear...
you're someplace nice.
One would think I'll be staying abroad for months.
It's only been a day.
Time is a relative concept.
100 years could feel like a day
while a day could feel like 100 years.
You're coming to the mansion tomorrow, right?
Of course.
I can't let them completely knock down my perfectly fine house.
Good night then.
I'll see you tomorrow.
You too.
Good night.
You're here early.
My longing kept me up all night.
For the mansion, I mean.
I've never been away from it.
It must've grown on me too.
Where I'm staying is nicer and cleaner, but I had trouble sleeping.
I came as soon as I woke up.
-What? -What?
Excuse me.
Is this Mr. Seon Woo-hyeol's house?
Yes, I'm Seon Woo-hyeol.
Could you please sign the change of ownership form?
What's this?
What change of ownership?
What on earth are you taking over?
Here.
The painting is in the car.
And the car is also a gift from Ms. Na.
So the gift Ms. Na was giving you was a car?
Is it this?
There it is.
The painting is the gift,
and I guess the car...
is a bonus.
No way.
Hello?
Mr. Seon, did you get the gift I sent?
The painting arrived in a car.
You'll need a car to run a guest house.
Please use it as needed.
Thank you.
I feel reassured to have such a supportive investor.
It's really nothing.
I'll stop by once the renovation is complete.
Goodbye then.
This is insane.
She might buy you a house the next time you save her.
Did I accept it too easily?
No, it's for the best.
You can pay back your debt by selling this.
I guess I'll post it on Dangun Market.
Sell what? No way.
It was a gift from Hae-sun...
How can you sell the car
our investor gave us for the smooth running of the guest house?
Simply owning a car isn't the end of it.
You need to pay for gas, insurance, tax, as well as other maintenance costs.
How can we afford it all?
Since it was a gift,
I'll ask Ms. Na to take care of all that.
Are you out of your mind?
We need a car for the guest house
if we're to go grocery shopping or pick up guests.
Also...
I look great with it.
All right then.
Do you have a license?
I had a car since 100 years ago,
but it was Butler Joo who drove it back then.
Cut the nonsense and get a driver's license.
Keep checking the rearview mirror.
-You're driving too close to the line. -Right.
-Stay in the center. -In the center?
You're worrying me.
-Signal a right turn. -Right.
-The right? -Yes.
DRIVING LESSON IN SESSION
I suggest this for the guest house.
You can design this separately, right?
Yes, of course.
As for...
SHADED OASIS GUEST HOUSE
Are you sure you learned how to drive?
Why do you look so uncomfortable?
Of course I'm ready.
It's just that cars these days have a lot of buttons.
Maybe you should slow down. We're not in a hurry.
Slow down? But I'm below the speed limit.
As if.
My gosh!
Who slams down on the brakes like that?
How else should one hit them?
If you're not happy with my driving, take over.
I don't have a license!
-Jeez. -My goodness.
You're doing fine.
So...
how does it feel to drive after all these years?
Well, I'm very comfortable.
Absolutely comfortable.
I'm one of the best drivers out there.
My goodness, you sound old-fashioned even when you brag.
What about you then?
How do you feel about finally opening the guest house?
-Me? -Yes.
I'm not sure.
It hasn't really sunk in yet.
What about you?
-Running a business-- -Hang on. I'm getting a call.
Hello?
Hey, Do-sik. We're on our way back.
Please. We owe it all to you.
What a stylish transformation. I like it.
Let's do well.
Let's get to work.
SHADED OASIS GUEST HOUSE
The renovation was disturbing the whole neighborhood.
Is it complete?
It sure is.
Then can we take a look inside?
Be my guest.
-Check out the sign. It's nice. -Goodness.
It'd look better at night.
Oh, my.
What do you think?
Welcome.
Here you go.
I hope we continue to get along.
You bought rice cakes?
These look delicious.
So the guest house is called Shaded Oasis?
What a peculiar name.
I want this place to be
a shelter from the sun.
Hence the name.
I see.
What's with the name?
The concept is quite unique.
Wait. Check out that antique.
How old is this?
Don't...
Don't touch and just look.
Everything here is of great value.
I see no one sent flowers for the opening.
-It feels a little empty here. -You're right, it does.
Connections are crucial in running a business.
I'm feeling generous.
Let me get you one.
Right.
Is anyone home?
-Are you Ms. Joo In-hae? -Yes.
Mr. Shin Do-sik sent this. Where should I put it?
Over there please.
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE OPENING OF SHADED OASIS
I can't believe him.
He shouldn't have.
There should at least be two of them so it looks more complete.
Right.
Are Ms. Joo In-hae and Mr. Seon Woo-hyeol here?
Yes, that's us.
This is from Ms. Na Hae-won.
-Can I leave it here? -Yes, please.
Okay. Good luck with your business.
It looks complete now, doesn't it?
Let's get back to work.
Right.
Thanks for the rice cakes.
And congrats on the opening.
Thank you. Get home safely.
Goodbye.
Do-sik, thanks for the flowers you sent.
Your consulting was more than enough, but you also sent flowers.
Thank you so much.
Don't mention it.
I'm glad I could help.
I'll stop by once I wrap things up.
Congrats on the opening.
I wish you the best.
I know we aren't officially open yet,
but how can absolutely no one show up?
Is this a bad sign?
What did you expect on the first day?
Let's be patient.
One should know how to wait.
I'll hand out the rest of the rice cakes,
so get some rest.
Okay.
Stop wiping the surfaces. You'll wear them down.
Rest up.
Look into Mr. Seon for me.
I need your objective opinion on him.
Well, if it isn't Seon Woo-hyeol!
-Man-hwi? -I heard you were back.
Are you selling rice cakes now?
I won't eat you if you give me some.
Sure.
Here you go.
They say to love your enemies.
We're celebrating the guest house opening.
A guest house?
I guess you're not going anywhere anytime soon.
What has you chained to that house?
Are you waiting for someone?
You should go.
I have rice cakes to hand out.
By the way, you should beware of who you hug.
If you keep it up, I'll have no one to hang out with.
What do you mean by that?
This is what you always do.
You can't stand someone being by my side.
Do you still think I'm the same guy
who used to suck blood in the corners of Shaded Oasis?
One can't tell by how you seem.
Be good and stay out of trouble.
You're just as stuck up as ever.
Were you able to become human?
Isn't that why you left in the first place?
You failed yet again.
You've gotten weaker.
Welcome.
-Do you have single rooms? -Yes, we do.
Do you take long-term guests?
Long-term guests?
What's wrong? Are they not allowed?
Sorry?
No, they're allowed.
It's just that this is our first day
and we haven't thought about long-term guests, so...
How long do you wish to stay?
Why so many questions?
Can I stay or not?
You can. Of course you can.
How did you find out about this place?
Social media?
Shaded Oasis Guest House finally opens.
Welcome, youngsters.
We will be your oasis.
This...
Isn't this the place?
Let me show you to your room.
This way.
Here's your key.
The bathroom is on the first floor.
If you need anything or have questions, please feel free to ask me.
Is the security tight?
Of course.
You don't have to worry.
If not, will I get my money back?
Sorry?
Well...
Of course.
Okay.
Right.
Hurry with my luggage.
Right.
Please make yourself at home.
I'll close the door for you.
Security?
I'm off to Gongcheon-dong.
-Mr. Shin. -Yes?
There's something you must see.
Mr. Ko.
I didn't know Shaded Oasis would make a comeback like this.
Congrats on the opening.
What's with your condition?
What on earth happened?
What's wrong?
You're running out of time.
What do you mean by that?
I told you it's dangerous to be on the border of two beings.
REFRESH REAL ESTATE CONSULTING
I saw it with my own two eyes.
He's not human.
I am Seon Woo-hyeol.
Your hand is quite cold.
SHADED OASIS GUEST HOUSE
Right now,
you're like a waning moon.
Waning?
What do you mean by that?
Are you saying I'll disappear...
like a moon on the wane?
If you don't drink her blood
until the night of the blood moon,
you will never get to see the moon again.
You must hurry. There isn't much time.
Mark my words.
You must drink her blood that's filled with love.
If you don't, you'll...
die.
I'll die?
Me?

HEARTBEAT
You're not like your usual self.
Is something up?
I just want to get drunk tonight.
Report back to me down to every last detail.
So this is where he's been hiding out.
It's about Mr. Seon.
It seems like a sudden cardiogenic shock.
-Mr. Shin! -She wouldn't have opened the coffin
if she had inherited her duties properly.
-You think so? -It's not like I'm at ease either.
There's something fishy about her family.
You intrigue me, Mr. Seon,
and I want to know more.
You believe that I ruined it all.
You're right.
It's all a mess!
