This is your last photo.
I'll take it now.
One, two, three.
Be well, Father.
It rarely happens to the people who stopped by the studio,
but sometimes a minor complications occur.
What do you mean my son is dead?
Look, I have a photo here, too.
He laughed, made jokes, and took a photo with me yesterday.
He smiled so handsomely and brightly.
For a moment, they see what they're not supposed to see.
Open my eyes with the Holy Spirit's light, and let me see your path.
Open my ears and let me hear the words of life.
Amen.
Today, we'll talk about death...
Sometimes they become very religious.
And the biggest complication is...
Uncle.
Who are you?
It's a feeling of loss that can't be fulfilled with anything.
Ma'am, you were supposed to pick up the photo tomorrow.
You see me, don't you?
Yes.
A photo studio for the dead?
For the three days you'd be staying here,
you can take the last photo to take with you.
The photo you took for me is enough.
I was going to use that as a funeral portrait, anyway.
I have no regrets since I lived long enough,
but I couldn't leave because I'm worried about one thing.
What can I help you with, ma'am?
- Can't you see it's the red light? - Did you see my grandma?
- Bom. - No.
You didn't see her, right?
I'm mistaken, right?
Come on and say I'm mistaken.
Please...
Let's move!
Get rid of the tent and come inside.
I won't say it again.
Grandma.
Grandma, why are you here?
It should've been a lie.
It should've been a joke.
Grandma...
Grandma.
Where did Mr. Seo go? He left the studio open, too.
Hospital.
He's accompanying a visitor's family.
Mr. Seo is?
"Is it necessary to check if they're dead?"
That's what he usually says. But he went to the hospital?
That visitor is...
I see.
You are the ghosts who work at the ghost house.
You're still so young. Why did you die so early?
Bom's grandmother?
The visitor's family he was accompanying was Bom?
The space is big, but it's empty.
There isn't even a chair to sit on.
Excuse me, the man who's a bit scary-looking.
Bring me a comfy chair for me.
Ma'am, you'd get in trouble if you upset him.
What worse could happen at my age?
Let's see...
Ma'am, the chair arrived.
Might as well get me a tea, too.
Ssanghwacha* would be good. (Korean medicinal tea)
Would you like an egg yolk on it?
Of course.
A ssanghwacha without an egg yolk
is like a red bean bun without red bean paste.
Ma'am,
let me know if you need anything.
We'll make sure to get anything for you.
To be honest, Mr. Seo has to ask Bom a favor.
Grandma.
Grandma, why are you here?
It should've been a lie.
It should've been a joke.
Where's Ms. So Geum Soon's mortuary?
Ms. So Geum Soon? It would be this way.
Ms. Han Bom is getting changed right now.
What brings you here, Mr. Seo?
How about you? What brings you here?
We needed to deliver something to Attorney Han.
Lieutenant Lee.
Thank you for helping me today.
And if you see...
If you see Grandma, you need to contact me first.
I'll get going.
Don't tell Attorney Han for now.
I never came here, okay?
But why...
Because the living have their duty.
That's what the dead want.
Don't worry about it.
What does it have to do with you?
The person who called 911 kept this for you.
- Thank you. - She had a heart attack.
They tried to get there as soon as possible, but...
It's okay. They did their best.
And here...
What's this?
Ms. So had this when she passed away.
I suppose you like injeolmi* a lot. (Type of Korean rice cake)
Who did she...
get all this for?
Gosh, seriously...
You're too young to be sleeping in so much.
Get up. Get up.
You said I only have three days.
Ma'am, the business hour starts after sunset.
You said you work for the dead.
Get up right now!
I don't work for the dead.
I take photos of the dead, okay?
That's what I meant. What's the difference?
Hurry!
Gosh, seriously, ma'am.
I heard you want to impress Bom.
I'm not sure what it is, but I'll put in a good word for you.
So you should work for me.
As hard as you can.
Here are the types of caskets and funeral clothes.
They usually...
go with these options.
And some also go with more premium options like these.
Did you announce her passing?
Well, I messaged the contacts on my phone,
but her phone is passcode-protected.
You have to contact people quickly.
Did you choose a funeral portrait?
Here's the funeral portrait.
Sorry for the delay. I should've given it to you sooner.
Why do you have this...
By chance, did Grandma-
No.
She took the picture a few days before she passed away.
We'll talk to you a little later.
Mr. Seo, what kind of people come to the studio again?
Before you go to the netherworld, you need to walk back
a very treacherous and long path to reach it.
You don't see it unless you're very desperate.
That means only the ones with a lot of regrets in life come.
Ms. So probably didn't need to come
since she had no regrets in life.
For the casket,
I recommend Paulownia wood.
And for the funeral clothes...
I heard this is good.
How do you know all this?
Because I've always done this.
- Thank you. - If you're thankful,
why don't you reconsider?
The safe zone.
We'll have this and this.
One more soju and more soup, please.
Yes, got it.
Soju.
Soup.
Here's soup and soju.
Do you need anything else?
Let me do the physical labor. You should stay inside, Bom.
Your job is to remain inside as the grieving family.
I don't think we've met. Who are you?
Nice to meet you. I'm Go Seong Ho.
Right, Go Seong Ho is my uncle's name.
Well, my name is Go Woon.
Kim Go Woon.
Hello. How do you know my grandmother, by the way?
I'm sorry. I don't recall meeting you.
We just see each other's souls, I guess?
- Pardon? - Anyway,
maybe not today, but...
I'll make sure to return with a different appearance.
The safe zone.
Cheer up, Bom. Fighting!
Cheer up...
Bom.
It's not her birthday,
the passcode for the door, or my birthday.
What is it, Grandma?
You like money, Grandma.
I need to send the obituary to invite people.
You said you need to reap what you sow.
But what's the use?
I can't even collect the money.
You need to get something for me behind Bom's back.
Where's the list of condolence payments?
Right here.
You can't take anything to the netherworld, ma'am.
I'm not trying to take it. I'm trying to check.
This ledger is my everything.
My loan ledger.
I've been keeping this my entire life.
Let's see how much I reaped after what I sowed.
Huh? The Lees who own the produce store.
I sent 100,000 won when his son got married.
But he only gave 50,000 for my funeral? Geez.
Is he serious? I wish I could argue with him right now.
Wow. Nothing's better than fried chicken after physical labor.
You sure enjoy fried chicken.
I won't be able to have tasty food like this once I leave.
You seem to disapprove of me, Mr. Seo.
Have some.
That little...
Mr. Seo is disapproving of any visitors. Don't worry.
I like him a lot if it wasn't for his temper.
How do you do this?
I noticed you were good at it.
Not anyone has this skill.
There's no point in being a ghost at all.
Ghosts can harass people in movies, you know.
They aren't just ghosts. They're resentful or evil ones.
The bastards who hurt people because they're resentful of this world.
By the way, ma'am, I forgot to tell you this.
- Did you hear about my relationship with Bom? - What?
About three years ago, I-
Eat.
- The drumsticks are the best. - Gosh.
Have a wing.
Aigoo.
- The chairs... - What's going on?
The chairs... The chairs...
Thank you.
What's that? What's that? What's going on?
My gosh!
My gosh, my gosh, my gosh...
My gosh, it's moving on its own. My gosh.
My gosh. My gosh. Look at that!
Hey, there's a ghost in our neighborhood! It's a ghost!
Ghost! Ghost!
Hold on. Hold on. Wait!
How do I photograph this? Geez.
Why don't we go to Jeju to see flowers?
- Should we go see cherry blossoms? - It's summer right now.
They were gone a long time ago.
Well, we can go next year, then.
Spring always comes back.
Just like me.
Attorney Han, there are no more guests.
Get some sleep in the chief mourner's room.
You need to hang in there to send her off well.
Sunbae.
Yes?
She must've really removed me from the family registry.
What are you talking about?
Other people apparently come back because they can't leave.
Because they miss someone and can't leave.
They go back on a long, treacherous path and return to meet them.
But I suppose Madam So...
doesn't miss me.
I suppose...
I've caused nothing but trouble. What right do I have?
Right?
Attorney Han.
How foolish.
I didn't even know it would be the last time.
I thought another spring would come again.
I thought they keep coming back.
I think I took too long.
Attorney Han, what are you looking for?
Grandma's phone and purse.
I definitely put them here, but they're gone.
Huh?
W-What's that?
Hold on. Let me play it again.
No, it's okay.
I think I know who took them.
That Mr. Yang. I've given him tons of free food.
How could he only give me 30,000 won? Seriously.
You're supposed to give at least 100,000 won for a wedding these days.
Maybe Bom really isn't her biological granddaughter.
She might be better off not knowing.
I can hear everything, Mr. Chatty.
My hearing is as good as a young person's since I'm dead.
- Put it back in. - O-Okay.
The safe zone?
Bom?
Bom.
Attorney Han.
This isn't a funeral portrait. Is it?
You lied when you said she took it a few days ago, right?
- What are you talking about, exactly? - Grandma's phone.
Grandma's phone.
You took it and sent the obituary.
Grandma's here, right?
Where is she?
Bom.
My heaven.
Have you been eating at all?
Do you still have anything to say to me?
Let's leave.
Bom...
Mr. Seo, where's my grandma?
Bom, let's talk outside.
I don't want to.
Why would I leave? I can't.
Ms. Seo Geum Soon was here. I can't leave until I meet her.
Why are you lying to me? Why?
Did my grandma say...
she doesn't want to see me?
Who said so?
No, ma'am-
Is she here?
Right now?
Grandma, do you really not want to see me?
It doesn't matter.
You've been doing whatever you want all this time.
I'll do whatever I want from now on.
Madam So, let's go see the flowers.
Let's go see flowers, Grandma.
There won't be...
anymore springs.
What are you doing in there?
Wow, her taste is so consistent. It can't be clearer.
This is the flower festival right here.
This would be good for the brunch.
Grandma, I found a cafe with an amazing ocean view.
And for lounging at night...
- Mr. Seo. - Yes.
Ask her what she's talking about right now.
Ms. So is asking what you're doing right now.
Mr. Seo, ask her what she prefers between these.
No, this suits her better.
She's picking outfits for you.
Grandma, let's go to Jeju with me.
It's still the hydrangea season there now.
Let's go see flowers right now.
Geez.
What kind of utter nonsense is this?
The funeral guests are arriving soon.
Where are you going without collecting my precious money?
You're the chief mourner, okay?
They're about to come since we sent the obituary.
What are you doing? Tell her, Mr. Seo.
Ms. So is telling you to stay at the funeral home.
Why did you cut out the last part?
She doesn't like any of these, right?
I'll put them back, then.
Get it together, you fool.
You need to collect my money.
I gave 50,000 won for Jeong Won's wedding last month.
30,000 won for Yeong Ji's first birthday.
And... Where's my ledger? My ledger.
Why won't you tell her what I said?
I suppose she gave away a lot of money gifts.
She wants to get all of that paid back.
Why do you care about money gifts?
Is it that important to get back what you gave out?
Why? What will you do with that money?
It's not like you can take it with you. Why are you doing this?
I'll use it for my traveling expenses to the netherworld.
So, collect every single penny of my condolence money.
What's the point of doing that?
Don't you find it unfair?
You've only bought clothes that cost 10,000 won for five to save money.
You never had a meal that cost over 5,000 won at restaurants.
To provide me with food, home, and clothes in my parents' place,
you never got to see flowers properly
while so many springs passed by in your life.
You've always wanted to go see flowers,
but I never took you anywhere.
But if you don't see them now, you'll never see them again.
There's no next time anymore, Grandma.
Hey, look.
Why would I go see flowers with you?
Yes.
For the past 20 years,
I provided food, home and sent you to school.
All I've done was work hard to raise you.
I'm glad you brought it up.
I never had a meal that cost more than 5,000 won my whole life.
And I never got to see the flowers as I wanted to.
That's how I gave those money gifts. That's how precious it is.
How dare you try to take that precious moment from me?
Grandma.
I'll take plenty of travel money and...
go to the netherworld comfortably.
So whether you'll be the chief mourner or not,
do whatever you want in life.
Ma'am.
♫ There was no response to the voice that resonated ♫
Bom.
She didn't get to go see flowers...
because of me.
She had to raise me.
It was because of me.
I'll try to persuade her again.
I'm sure she didn't mean it, either.
♫ I'm not used to spending the night alone ♫
♫ Stay by my side ♫
No, I'll go. I need to do what I'm supposed to do.
I could never face her if I didn't even do this.
Let me take you there.
Should we do that thing?
Do what?
The stuff you like to do.
♫ I think I'll collapse without you ♫
How much time does Grandma have left?
She has about 40 hours left now.
So I just need to...
stay at the funeral home as she wants, right?
I'm sorry.
The visitor's request is my priority.
She likes very flashy flower patterns.
Let her wear the flashiest one for the photo.
And she's really pretty when she smiles. But she can't smile when she's nervous.
You should try to relax her, too.
That way, the photo will turn out nicely.
She was very beautiful when she was young.
I'll do that.
And...
And make sure to tell her...
that I was very happy...
living as her granddaughter.
Ahjumma.
Why are you out here instead of going in?
It's you, Bom.
I'm so sorry.
Oh, you couldn't come in because I wasn't there.
- Come on in. - No, no, no.
I need to go. I need to tend the shop.
Oh, right. You're busy.
- Why don't you come in and eat- - No.
I need to go. Yes.
- I'll go. - Well...
Well, Bom...
Yes.
I'm sorry.
Pardon? Why would you suddenly say that?
I heard Ms. So collapsed in front of the Prosecutors' Office.
Gosh! I shouldn't have told her that. Seriously...
What do you mean?
I told her that you got fired at the Prosecutors' Office.
I didn't know she'd go there right away.
I even wrote down, "Chief Prosecutor Lee Hyeon Oh."
I'm out of my mind! What do I do?
Wait. Grandma learned all about that?
Well...
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry. Gosh...
Grandma...
Because of me...
Do you want to sell tteokbokki with me?
Maybe it's my age.
I get bored and feel lonely.
She knew, but she pretended like she didn't.
Kim Ji Won.
I'm sorry. I came straight from the airport.
The only funeral-appropriate outfit I had was my last Halloween outfit.
I thought you were in Italy.
That doesn't matter when you're here right now.
Han Bom, you must've been hurting a lot.
Ji Won.
Grandma knew everything.
She knew I got fired as a prosecutor
and a pathetic lawyer who can't even get a case.
She knew all about it.
She must've found me so pathetic that
she even went there...
It's all my fault.
I miss my grandma.
It's my fault.
It's all done now.
The list is finally complete.
Ma'am, you must've done a lot of favors for people.
I didn't do a lot of favors. I collected a lot of money.
Does my coffin need to be sent away now?
There isn't a lot of time left.
Should we bring Bom here even now?
Since I'm done sorting out the ledger,
I should leave now.
Mr. Seo, I'll leave on my own.
I like it the way it is now.
Pardon? Will you really not see Bom before you leave?
If you disappear like that, how about the people remaining?
I mean...
if you sort things out on your own and leave without saying goodbye,
what about the people remaining?
There's nothing they can do but wait.
You should at least let them say goodbye.
That's a burden for the living.
Isn't that your job, Mr. Seo?
Must that be the conclusion you've come to?
You have no regrets, right?
I'll start preparing, then.
Grandma.
I'm sorry.
It's my fault. I'm sorry, Grandma.
♫ Do you think we met by coincidence? ♫
♫ No, I think it was meant to be ♫
It's okay.
♫ If I get to meet you again ♫
♫ I'll hug you without a word ♫
♫ My careless love caused you pain ♫
♫ As long as I have you, I don't mind a long detour ♫
♫ Even if my time stops and my life ends ♫
♫ I choose you, it's meant to be ♫
♫ You're the one person who loved me ♫
I'm sorry...
Grandma.
I'm sorry.
♫ I'll love you even more ♫
Stop feeling bad...
lady.
I provided Bom with food, clothes, and home with this truck.
She grew up here.
Since I had to run the business all the time,
I was too nervous to leave her at home by herself.
It's hot. Be careful.
- Thank you. - Sure.
I measured her height here, too.
Her playground was in front of the truck.
There's nothing here she didn't touch.
This place had the best night view, you know.
It's a shame I won't get to see that.
Did you really come back here because of the condolence money?
Mr. Seo, how many more years would I have lived if I didn't die?
Five years? 10 years?
Or I would've lived 15 more years and went senile.
She has many days ahead of her.
I didn't want her to be alone when it's time
to celebrate or mourn.
That's why I've been going to all parties.
- Ms. So. - Congratulations. Congratulations.
The people who remember me
- You came. would remember Bom
even when I'm no longer here.
So you need to deliver that to her.
Throw that one away. She won't need it.
Check on her once in a while.
I'm glad she has a neighbor like you, at least.
I threw it away.
This is Grandma's ledger.
Wow, you look so beautiful.
Attorney Han got it for me with her first paycheck as a prosecutor.
Wow, she definitely has great taste.
It's a nice day to leave for the netherworld.
Mr. Seo rarely does outdoor photoshoots,
but he's making an exception for you, ma'am.
Wait outside, Ms. So.
I'll bring the equipment.
Okay, I will.
It would've been nice if I lived until spring.
I don't get to see the flowers.
Ta-da!
Welcome to Bom's Night Cherry Blossom Festival.
What's going on?
Bom brought spring.
♫ With my eyes open ♫
March 18th, 1996. The day my baby had her first tteokbokki.
I feel full just looking at her.
- Aigoo. - I love you, Grandma.
Aigoo, yes. My baby. Sweetheart.
May 8th, 1997. The first carnation my baby gave me. Don't wither away.
♫ Happy birthday to you ♫
♫ Happy birthday, dear Madam So. Happy birthday... ♫
The first birthday meal my baby made me.
I had a shot of soju because I felt good. This is the best.
May 19th, 2018.
The day my baby was appointed as a prosecutor.
- Fighting! - This is a new beginning.
You really made it.
Hey, smile more brightly.
I'll send it to all the matchmakers.
You're not doing that, Grandma.
I'll take one of you with Bom, too.
Just take one.
One, two, three.
She must've struggled a lot alone after getting fired.
I wish she had told me.
My heave. I'll make sure to feed you until I die.
Appointment of a party of one for Ms. So Geum Soon at 12 today.
I hope you get a chance.
♫ In the future, I hope we could rely on each other ♫
♫ Because I couldn't do what I wanted to do for you ♫
Where are you going?
Ji Won, please stay here for me.
What? Wait...
♫ You were there every moment with me ♫
How's this?
It's pretty.
I think this one looks good.
♫ Your eyes contain all of my love ♫
♫ Hold my hand and stay with me forever ♫
Dad, look at this.
Okay, okay. One more time.
- Let's go one more time. - Okay, okay, okay.
An elderly visitor will be here soon.
She'll be walking this way. You can't let her see you, okay?
You'll be going up in the sky.
Please sprinkle the petals with a bright and happy energy.
- Okay? - Okay.
Here. Who wants tteokbokki?
♫ Even our desperate pain that I feel on my fingertips ♫
♫ I might not find what I can do for you ♫
♫ I might be visited by sorrow sometimes ♫
♫ In every moment of my life ♫
♫ I'll only stay by your side ♫
Did you really do all this yourself?
Because you wanted me to see spring blossoms?
The invisible ghosts helped us.
What do you think of my spring?
It's pretty.
Isn't it?
Grandma?
Is it really you, Grandma?
My baby.
My precious baby.
Grandma, I'm sorry.
I'm not as impressive a person as you wrote in the ledger.
I was fired at the Prosecutors' Office, too.
You cared for me so much, but I'm sorry I couldn't be better.
I'm sorry.
Bom, you were my pride.
You were the best and number one to me.
I, So Geum Soon, acknowledge you.
So stand tall from now on.
Grandma.
What are you doing?
You said it's a cherry blossom festival.
Let's go look at the flowers.
Okay.
We should.
Let's go.
Bom.
Yes.
Someone on TV said...
the one who smiles at the end isn't truly happy.
The one who smiles often is truly happy.
Thanks to you, I got to smile a lot.
You could say I lived a happy life.
For me, too, Grandma...
I had the happiest life because of you.
My baby who's more precious than treasure.
Don't remember me for too long.
Okay.
Don't miss me for too long.
Okay.
Don't hurt for too long, either.
Okay, Grandma.
I won't.
I promise.
How pretty.
Mr. Seo, you broke the rule for once.
You said the visitor's request is your priority.
They ended up seeing each other, anyway.
I'll take the second photo now.
How pretty.
Grandma,
you brought spring to my life.
Thank you.
Don't be nervous.
Say "kimchi."
Kimchi.
I'll take it now.
One, two, three.
♫ I've nothing to lose ♫
♫ Every day was the same ♫
♫ Running in circles ♫
♫ For all the useless games ♫
♫ Sometimes there's no meaning ♫
♫ Life goes away it came ♫
♫ Always caught in the middle ♫
♫ There's no fun to plan ♫
♫ How about superstition? ♫
♫ Try cling inside your soul ♫
♫ But only then I can dream about what's missing ♫
♫ What's missing, what's missing, what's missing, you know ♫
Deputy Go will come back after seeing the deceased's family off.
Yeah...
- The deceased's family. - I found it a bit unexpected.
You gave the ledger to the deceased's family, which went against the visitor's request.
I heard this was your first time taking photos outside despite the risks.
There are a lot of risks and dangers outside the studio.
But you took the photo by taking a risk.
Looks like you're treating her differently than usual.
By chance, do you have feelings for her?
Not at all.
I just owe her because of a coupon.
Is that so? I'll go home now, then.
At least, you could...
say goodbye to Bom, right?
I had an uncle.
He was my only family member.
- I... - Don't go anywhere without me.
- didn't know that would be our last day together. - Okay.
I was certain I'd see him the next day.
I didn't even get to say goodbye.
It's been almost 20 years,
but I keep thinking about the last moment that day.
I revisit it over and over again.
I keep thinking I didn't say goodbye for the last time.
Bom would feel that way, too.
She'll keep reliving the last day with you for the rest of her life.
Would you really be okay with that?
Why do you think I ended up with Bom?
She was in an accident...
and she survived alone.
She saw her parents dying while trapped in the car.
Mom.
She can't be free from that nightmare, either.
Because she feels guilty for surviving alone.
She can't even erase the scar from that day.
But if I showed up in this state, too...
I might look fine right now,
but I'm already dead.
I can't let her have another nightmare like that.
I know, huh?
Why did you do that, Seo Ki Joo?
Uncle, will we get a chance to say goodbye, too?
Why have a meeting this early?
I'll be back.
Good morning, Bom.
You look more energetic than I expected.
Each person visiting the studio has a different complication.
You got up early.
I haven't gone to bed yet. I'm getting off work now.
That's great. I had something to tell you, anyway.
If you want to thank me, it's not necessary.
You know the landlord of this building changed now, right?
Are you demanding a reward after I saved you?
I'll charge the same rent.
I'll send you my account number later.
Okay.
And thank you for the ledger, Mr. Seo.
By the way, Mr. Seo...
when will I stop seeing ghosts?
Pardon?
It's him, right? The one who insists that he had a blind date with me.
Deputy Go Seong Ho.
Do you see me right now?
Yes, I see you very clearly.
But I know now that I see his face.
I never had a blind date with him. I'm certain.
D-Do you still see him?
Didn't you say I'll stop seeing them after taking the photo?
What else do you see?
A little girl on the earthenware pot.
And...
the lady with messy hair in front of the wall.
That man is bleeding a lot.
The man who's bleeding next to the car.

♫ I endured the long night on my own ♫
♫ Please believe me now, I'm on your side ♫

Let's try to be apart from each other and not cross paths.
♫ Count on me, baby. Don't be afraid, I'll be... ♫
