I read an article about you coming to Barcelona.
I sent you an e-mail. Could you please read it?
I'd hate to sell it to that guy,
but I have to decide by tomorrow.
Let's meet in Granada.
Please wait for me at Hostal Bonita. I stay there occasionally.
Watch where you're going!
Hello?
EPISODE 1
Ladies and gentlemen, we'll be arriving at Granada Station shortly.
Wake up.
We're in Granada.
Did he get off without his bag?
This is the last officially known whereabouts of this young man.
ROMANTIC ALHAMBRA
...about to break all previous records.
Out of all of them, the one that is receiving the most attention
is the smart contact lens by J One
from South Korea.
The CEO of J One, Yoo Jin-woo, presented the smart lens
as the first device that is set to popularize virtual reality.
Furthermore, the innovative experience
along with its high-resolution,
are proof of the advancements in Korean technology.
CEO Yoo Jin-woo is planning
to release the product next year,
with a possible launch date as early as this December,
which would still leave enough time to develop more content.
Who's here at this hour?
Who is it?
Did I come too late?
How can I help you?
Do you have any available rooms?
This is where the story begins.
When I came to Granada,
searching for him
as he searched for me.
Come on in.
I'm sorry. I must have woken you up.
No, you didn't. I guess your flight arrived late.
Yes, it was delayed.
Where did you fly from?
Barcelona. I was there for a business trip.
I see. We rarely have a guest show up without a reservation.
It was an unplanned trip.
I see. How many days do you plan to stay here?
Not sure. I'll have to see.
How about one night for now?
Yes. Just for tonight, please.
Sure.
We have four-person dormitories and double rooms.
They're 20 and 35 euros per night.
Breakfast isn't included.
-If you'd like breakfast, 6 euros... -Wait.
Are there no single rooms?
There aren't any.
You don't have any single rooms?
People who want to stay in a single room usually go to hotels.
We actually have one on the sixth floor.
I'll take that room.
But it's on the sixth floor.
That's fine.
Okay.
So there's no elevator?
This building is old, so it's not easy to install one.
Is that right?
Sir...
since you have luggage, maybe you should go to a hotel.
I'll give you a list of a few hotels with elevators nearby.
There's no need. I will stay here.
Then would you like a dormitory room?
It's on the second floor.
A dormitory room? What's it like?
The students are asleep now, but you can take a peek.
The top one there is available.
Let's just go to the sixth floor.
Is it heavy?
Would you like a hand?
No, thanks. Go on.
You must really treasure your suitcase.
There's something dangerous inside.
"Something dangerous"?
I brought a few handguns.
Sorry? Handguns?
I was just kidding. I don't want it to get scratched.
May I go in?
Yes.
I'm sorry.
I don't think this room was cleaned yesterday.
Only yesterday? Are you sure about that?
This room is usually empty, so I forgot to check.
I'll make sure to have it cleaned in the morning.
What's wrong with this?
You should just go to a hotel.
The stairs will be a hassle, too.
Are you telling me to go all the way back down?
With this?
No thanks.
-I guess that would be difficult. -It'd be like a death sentence.
Who's here at this hour?
A male guest just checked into the sixth floor.
I wonder what he is doing here. He makes me uncomfortable.
What's wrong?
He's obviously wealthy, Grandma.
Everything he has from head to toe looks very expensive.
His watch and suitcase are luxury brands, too.
Bullshit. Do you really think
it's all authentic?
They must be knockoffs.
You think so?
Why would someone
who can afford high-end brands stay in that room?
You're right. Why didn't it occur to me that they could be knockoffs?
Come in. Let's go to bed now.
Okay.
What the hell?
Jesus, it's so dusty in here.
There's no trash can in this room?
The water pressure is very low. No toilet paper in toilet, please.
If it gets clogged, you'll have to use the toilet on the main floor.
Shit.
Sir.
What happened?
-Hello? -Sir, where are you now?
Did you just wake up?
Yes, I woke up and saw that you're not here.
What are you up to now?
What am I up to? I'm trying to unblock a toilet.
Pardon? Unblock what?
I'm in Granada now.
Granada? I see.
Where is it? Is it a club?
You don't know Granada?
It's a city in southern Spain.
Sorry?
That Granada?
Are you saying you're actually in Granada now?
Why did you suddenly go there? You didn't tell me.
Our flight back to Seoul is at 9 in the morning.
Why did you go there...
This is absurd.
You think it's absurd?
I'll tell you what's even more absurd.
I had to come to Granada, so I tried to wake my secretary up.
But my secretary, who got drunk and passed out, wouldn't wake up.
He even swore at me for trying to wake him up.
So I had to get a flight ticket myself and come here alone.
All because my useless secretary didn't do anything for me.
Do you think this makes any sense?
We were done with everything on our agenda,
and all we had left was to board our flight,
and it was our last night, so--
Who said we were done?
I'm not done yet.
Are you my superior?
Do you make the decisions? Are you the CEO?
Who do you think you are?
My apologies, sir.
Submit your letter of resignation as soon as you arrive in Seoul.
You're joking, right?
-Do I sound like I'm joking? -I hope you're joking.
I'm sorry. I'm dead serious.
Hello? Sir?
Shit.
MR. YOO
-Hello? -Take the earliest flight here.
Call me when you get here.
Okay. No problem, sir.
Why did he go to Granada in the middle of the night?
Jeez.
Seriously, what's wrong with this place?
Why are there so many freaking stairs?
And why is it so dark in here?
What if guests fall down the stairs and die?
If the plug doesn't work in here, too...
I'll shut this place down.
CHARGING
How long will it take?
CHOI YANG-JU
I'll need another half an hour.
BREAKFAST IS 6 EUROS
HOSTAL BONITA KITCHEN RULES
Free ramen noodles! Special bonus for Bonita's guests.
Enjoy.
-Who are you? -I'm Jung Min-ju.
-Do you live here? -Yes.
The owner of the hostel must be your mom.
She's obviously my sister.
-She's your sister? -Oh my god.
You thought she was my mom?
She's only 27.
I see. Don't tell her, okay?
I'm going to dance here. Please don't mind me.
-Dance? -This is the only time I can practice.
I have an audition next week.
Mister!
Clean up after yourself.
You must do your own dishes.
I'll clean them tomorrow.
-No, you can't. -Why can't I?
You can't.
CHOI YANG-JU
It's done, sir. Please check.
I washed everything I used.
Most people come to Granada
to visit the Alhambra Palace.
But I came here to see something else.
Something more magical than the Alhambra.
Magic.
I came all the way here to see magic.
CRITICAL HIT -100
YOU HAVE BEEN KILLED BY A NASRID KINGDOM WARRIOR
YOU WILL BE LOGGED OUT
What was that?
-Did you see that? -Yes, it was incredible.
How is this even possible?
This is the best AR I've ever seen.
I can't tell if it's real or fake.
It looks perfect on the screen.
How does it feel to be part of it?
It happened so quickly.
I actually thought I might really die.
I really want to try playing it as well.
Why did he have to set it in Granada?
It would've been nice if it was Seoul.
-How's the lens? -It's fine.
Is it hot?
A little.
I don't think the smart lens can keep up with the game.
This is incredible.
This can be launched in a year.
Don't you think?
Do you really think he made this by himself?
It's incredible.
He's either a genius or a lunatic. Or maybe he's both.
Who made this?
I'd really like to know as well.
4 HOURS AGO
Hello?
Are you...
Yoo Jin-woo?
Is this Yoo Jin-woo's number?
Yes, that's me. Who are you?
Hello.
Sir... I mean, professor.
What should I call you?
I don't care. But who--
I met Mr. Cha Hyeong-seok here.
You know Mr. Cha Hyeong-seok, right?
You guys are friends.
-Yes. So? -He offered me ten billion won.
-What? -Ten billion won.
Ten billion won sounds great, but he's a really bad guy.
So I won't take his offer.
I was going to call you first.
I read an article about you coming to Barcelona.
Wait a second. I don't quite understand.
What's the purpose of your call? And how did you get my number?
I sent you an e-mail. Could you please read it?
You sent me an e-mail?
I'd hate to sell it to that guy,
but I have to decide by tomorrow.
Let's meet in Granada.
Please wait for me at Hostal Bonita.
-Hey. -I stay there occasionally.
Are you a programmer?
Can you calm down?
What's your name? Who are you?
What are you developing? Can you be more...
Hello?
Can you hear me? Hello?
What the...
The number you have called is not available at the moment.
You know Mr. Cha Hyeong-seok, right?
You guys are friends.
He offered me ten billion won.
Ten billion won. Ten billion won sounds great,
but he's a really bad guy. So I won't take his offer.
YOU HAVE ONE UNREAD EMAIL
MEMORIES OF THE ALHAMBRA
Damn it.
MR. YOO
Yes, Mr. Yoo.
Hey, it's been a long time. I have a favor to ask.
Is Hyeong-seok still in Barcelona?
Mr. Cha?
I'm not sure. His official schedule ended two days ago.
Please look into what he's been doing here.
I want to know where he went and who he met, in detail.
I also want a background check on someone.
He's a programmer.
I just know his e-mail address and that he met up
with Hyeong-seok in Barcelona.
It sounds important.
I think a hundred trillion won are at stake here.
-A hundred trillion? -So please hurry up.
I don't want to lose him to Hyeong-seok.
Okay, sir.
Are you going to stay in Barcelona?
I'm heading to Granada.
I need to see it with my own two eyes.
Why isn't he calling though?
Do you think he went to Mr. Cha?
He might be on a plane.
Let's just trust that he won't sell it to that jerk.
It's nighttime here, so there's nothing I can do at the moment.
Let's try to level up before sunrise.
I'm sure we'll find a few flaws as we continue playing.
Okay.
Where's Seon-ho?
He's not here yet.
He's coming in now.
Give him a detailed briefing.
Don't tell anyone else but him.
-Keep monitoring the game. -Okay, sir.
What's going on? I heard Jin-woo went to Granada.
Something amazing happened overnight.
Look.
-What is it? -It's an AR game.
Once you see this, other AR games will look like trash.

Jin-woo, I can't find any flaws with this game
other than it's too addictive.
If New Word snatches this--
I'm low on battery, so let's talk later.
I can picture a future.
A future where this has become a worldwide game.
Seoul, Beijing, New York, and even Paris.
Instead of the Alhambra being Granada's main attraction,
the city will be known for its magic.
This city will become a Mecca for users.
Like how the first store of a franchise becomes the most famous.
The thought of losing the game
to someone else terrified me.
Did you sleep well?
You must've gone for a walk.
Yes.
I'll have the sixth floor cleaned first.
I'm glad to hear that.
He asked to meet in Granada
and sent me the address of this hostel,
saying that he occasionally stays here.
But will he show up?
What if he has already signed a deal with Hyeong-seok?
Damn it.
-Hello. -Hi.
Sorry, but can you keep an eye on this? I need to go to the toilet.
-Sure thing. -It only needs another minute.
-Hello? -It's me.
What did you find out?
Since yesterday, Mr. Cha has cancelled all of his plans,
his schedule was full.
Where is he now then?
I'm still on it.
What if they already signed the deal?
I don't think so. I looked into the man who called you.
-Did you find out something? -Yes, a few things.
I committed a small crime
-by hacking his e-mail account. -And?
I'm getting to it.
The programmer's name is Jung Se-ju.
He's 17, still a minor.
A minor?
What's that noise?
Shit.
I'm going out, just keep talking.
-What is it? -The fire alarm.
It reacted to a puff of smoke.
It's quite sensitive. I put up a sign about that.
I'm listening, so keep going.
Right, since he's a minor, in order to sign a contract with him...
Hello?
Can you hear me? Hello?
Damn it.
Oh god.
It's so loud.
Shit.
Turn that off already.
I'm trying to.
I can't hear anything over the phone.
-Take it outside then. -Can't you see that I can't?
Now turn the damn thing off!
Unbelievable.
Hello?
So you said he's a minor.
What? What was that again?
This isn't my fault, you know.
You were here in the kitchen.
-What? -Why are you yelling at me?
I came as soon as I heard it.
I'll call you back.
Why am I yelling at you?
Because you're the owner.
You're the owner of this god-awful place!
What?
You have no shame, do you?
Being a businessman myself,
I can't stand people who only do things by halves.
Complacent and lazy.
If you take in and charge a guest,
you should make their stay worthwhile.
What do you have to offer?
A few packets of ramen noodles?
The toilet gets clogged every single time,
there's even a rat hole in the room.
It's suffocating because the windows won't open,
and there are too many stairs.
What building does not have an elevator these days?
There should at least be a working socket.
Why must I come downstairs to charge my phone?
Just look at this dump!
I told you to go to a hotel.
You listen up.
I'm currently dealing with a 100 trillion won project on the phone.
I couldn't charge my phone in my room,
and this stupid alarm went off when there was no fire.
And if I end up losing this deal...
it's all on you.
Why is that...
I apologize, but
you're being unreasonable, too.
Don't you think
you're being a bit rude?
Why should I be polite when you mistreat your guests?
Hello?
I'm here. It was just a little loud.
I'm sorry about that. Keep going.
Anyway, the programmer
is a minor.
Mr. Cha can't have him sign the contract without a guardian's consent.
Who's his legal guardian? His parents?
They passed away, so his sister is the legal guardian.
-His sister? -Yes.
Her name is Jung Hee-ju,
and she runs a Korean hostel in Granada
called Hostal Bonita.
-Where? -Hostal Bonita.
I'll text you the address.
WELCOME TO HOSTAL BONITA!
If you're in Granada, you should stop by there first.
Persuading his sister might be faster.
She holds the power anyway.
I guess you're right.
I looked into a few e-mails between them,
but the sister knows nothing.
Is that so?
And just like that, Hee-ju's life was also touched by magic.
She now has the rights to the innovative future technology
that will change the world.
But like all princesses in fairy tales,
she is unaware of her status, lives in a dump,
and opened the door to a wolf.
Good morning.
His sister hates me. This seat is empty.
She's mad at me because I gave her a few words of advice.
What time does the night train arrive?
-At eight o'clock. -How did it go?
Something feels really wrong.
It's true the house is worn-out, but I do have a conscience.
-You see-- -The house is worn-out,
but I'm conscientious. That's why I'm giving you a refund. Bye, then.
No, wait. Please.
-Now Hyeong-seok... -How did you find out?
I thought no one else knew about the game.
There's no secret in this field.
If you know, then I know, too.
It seems like the boy contacted him, so find out if they agreed anything.
Isn't it Jung Se-ju? It has to be.
Forget it. I have another job for you.
You guys are going to stay here?
The greater his desire,
the more determined I am to take it.
