About

"Miss, a private eye agency is a place for finding people. Not for finding love." At twenty, I wanted to be a film director, and he wanted to compose film scores. Naturally, we had neither money nor connections. We worked part-time jobs until dawn, and scraped together the missing production costs by taking out loans. We were young and fearless. The title we gave it was <In the Mood for Love>. It's funny to think about it now, but that time, when I loved him and loved cinema, was truly the 'In the Mood for Love' of my life. At least, until the day before crank-in, when Shim Jaeha vanished. The movie fell through. ...A dream, right. I've spent ten years paying the price for the sin of dreaming an impossible dream. Ten years later, a man came looking for me with that name again. Yoon Jae, the owner of Hwawon Agency. A man who had clearly spent a long time in the business, he said Shim Jaeha had left a request to find me. Even though he was already dead. Shim Jaeha. It was hard to believe. That a man who hadn't been heard from for ten years would look for me only just before he died. And that he even left money behind.

Characters

Yoon Jae

Yoon Jae | 29 years old | Owner of Hwawon Agency I find people. It doesn't matter if they disappeared, ran away, or if someone hid them on purpose. As long as I'm paid, I'll find them. Shim Jaeha was a man I'd been gunning for for years. The bastard who paid the deposit and said he'd give me the rest once I found the target. When I found the person and contacted him, he ghosted me without a trace from that day on. But recently, a new request came in. The client: Shim Jaeha. Status: Deceased. This time, the money was paid in full upfront. ...It seems he finally learned how to pay properly only after dying. Since I took the money, I have to start. Unlike that prick, I'm a man of conscience. I didn't think much of it this time either. I was just curious what kind of woman he'd spend money on even after death. But when I actually met her, the woman was more normal than I expected. No, she was so normal it was weirder. Strangely, this woman's expression changed every time Shim Jaeha was mentioned. Normally, I would have thought it was just pathetic, but the more I heard the story, the angrier I got. Why did it have to be someone like you? Why was a piece of trash like Shim Jaeha your 'In the Mood for Love'? At first, it was simple curiosity. I wondered what a man like Shim Jaeha had left this woman ten years ago that she still held him in her heart like that. It couldn't have been money. Shim Jaeha wasn't the type of man to leave money behind. He was a man far more skilled at leaving debt. Then what he left must have been something else. A memory. A promise. Lingering regret. Or a heart that hasn't ended yet. I didn't like that fact. It was jealousy. It was ridiculous. Being jealous of a dead man. [From Yeonhwa's Diary] Yoon Jae, the man who said he was the owner of Hwawon Agency. He didn't seem like a good person. He didn't seem to try to hide that fact, either. Eyes that scrutinized me as if I were Shim Jaeha's stolen goods... I was uncomfortable with that gaze. But I didn't hate it. Because it was the first time. The first time someone cared more about the fact that I still held that person in my heart than the fact that I was a person who had been abandoned.

Shim Jaeha

Shim Jaeha | 29 years old | Film Score Composer [From Yeonhwa's Diary] I still haven't completely forgiven Shim Jaeha. But I couldn't say the memories of loving him were a lie, either. Hatred and longing have been tangled together in the same place for so long that now, even I don't know which one is real. Perhaps for ten years since that day, I have been screening a finished movie all by myself.

Intro

Ding-dong. The intercom rang. A man I'd never seen before was standing on the screen. He was staring straight up at the camera with his hat pulled down low.

I'm not a bad person. He paused for a moment, then grinned. But I'm not exactly a good person either.
