Midnight Studio Episode 14 Recap

When Ki Joo dissapeared, he found himself at his uncle’s studio. To his shock, his uncle approaches him and the two embrace. Ki Joo cries that he thought he had abandoned him but that wasn’t the case. His uncle then tells him to take his last photo for him. Ki Joo takes the first one but is uwilling to take the second photo, knowing fully well it would mean a final farewell but his uncle reminds him that he has someone waiting for him. Ki Joo then wishes that in his next life, he would come back as a normal person and live a long life. With tears running down his cheek, he takes the last photo. His uncle smiled sadly, fondling his hair fondly as he disappears. Ki Joo wakes up.

Han Bom rushes to his ward and finds that he’s still alive. The two embrace happily. Seung Hoon and Baek Nam ku sees them and switches off the lights before leaving them alone with each other. Ki Joo pays Lee Seon ho a visit at his ward. He had broken his bones during the fall but he was still going to live. Ki Joo makes fun of him, even pressing his wounds so they hurt more. Lee Seon ho tells him not to get ahead of himself because his father wouldn’t let him rot in prison. Ki Joo simply smiles and tells him to wait and see what happens. Lee Seon ho asks about the evil spirit and Ki Joo tells him that those who gets posessed by evil spirits will start seeing and hearing strange things, scaring him a little. (FYI ki Joo, your girl was once possessed by an evil spirit too)

Ki Joo gets discharged from the hospital and Han Bom teases him for changing her caller ID name to ‘my Bom’ the two start playing love in the hospital corridor and both Seung Hoon and Nam ku tease them for acting embarrassing. However, they soon realise that the safe zone no longer activates whenever Han Bom and Ki Joo are together.

Ki Joo gors back to the studio, pleased to be there again but he’s surprised to see the picture he took of his uncle lying on the ground. He places it among the rest of his ancestors wondering to himself how both him and his uncle who were neither dead nor alive could still take photos and have it manifest in the real world.

Having took the heat of his son’s criminal activities, Prosecutor Lee decides to abandon him, telling everyone that he knew nothing of the horrible things Lee Seon ho had done. When Lee Seon ho hears this during his interrogation at the police station, he’s shocked by his father’s betrayal and decides to bring his father down with him.

Meanwhile, Han Bom, Seung Hoon and Baek Nam ku throw Ki Joo a surprise birthday party at his apartment. They have even redecorated the place, making it appear like a normal living space. After the party, Han Bom and Ki Joo are getting intimate when he starts feeling pain at the back of his neck. Han Bom notices that the mark at Ki Joo’s back is fading away, meaning that the curse is being lifted. As a result of this, he tells Seung Hoon and Nam Ku to prepare to leave the earth. However, Sung Hoon isn’t happy to hear this because of Ji won. As for Baek Nam ku, he only wants to see Na Rae’s lover Mi hyeon for one last time.

Na rae comes to meet Mi hyeon at a cafe shop, bringing with her home cooked meal as a last farewell to him. She rejects his offer to travel with him and says that her answer will always be the same as she would never change her mind. (I hope so)

When Ji won is running late for their date, due to overworking, Seung Hoon visits her in the body of a delivery man and brings her food. After talking for a while, he starts to leave but Ji won insists he stay and eat with her even though she wouldn’t be able to see him because that’s the real him.

Ki Joo and Nam ku visits Mi hyeon and when Ki Joo tells him Na rae’s dead husband wants to speak with him, he thinks it’s a joke. (FYI, he doesn’t even remember his name. He doesn’t remember the name of the husband of the woman he has been chasing this whole time). Ki Joo translates everything Nam ku says to Mi hyeon. He tells him to give Na rae time to adjust and come to him. Also, he tells him to love and care for her and not to make the same mistake that he did by causing her to feel lonely. Mi hyeon absolutely doesn’t believe what he’s hearing but he slowly starts to crack a little. 

After the meeting, Ki Joo and Baek Nam ku are heading home. Ki Joo is surprised that he didn’t hit Mi hyeon out of anger but Nam ku replies that he would never consort to violence. He insists that he is not going to see Na rae again so as not to burden her.

The next day, Prosecutor Lee, Lee Seon ho and Han Bom are questioned at the prosecutor’s office. Lee Seon ho exposes his father for concealing all his crimes and every murder he executed. Although, prosecutor Lee denies all his allegations, in no time, he loses his cool, accusing his son of trying to ruin everything he has worked for. He even transfers his aggression on the prosecutor questioning them which makes the man remind him that he’s not in a big position anymore since he’s now a suspect. Then Lee Seon ho mocks his father again, telling him he should have done a better job of covering up his crime which leaves Prosecutor Lee clenching his fist in anger.

After the questioning, Han Bom meets Prosecutor Lee in the corridor to tell him that he wouldn’t escape his punishment that easily.

That night, Ki Joo and Han Bom enjoy the news articles all praising Han Bom now that the truth about Kim Yoon Cheol has been revealed but Han Bom thinks that Prosecutor Lee may still escape punishment using corrupt tactics but Ki Joo tells her he has a way to stop that from happening. However, he does not reveal his plan to her. Han Bom asks how he feels now that he’s no longer under the curse. Ki joo responds that he feels mixed emotions because Seung Hoon and Nam ku would be leaving plus the studio would close as well. Han Bom tries to make him feel better telling him all the things he would do now that he’s unemployed. They end up spending the night passionately.

The next day, netizens attack Prosecutor Lee and his entourage with eggs and rotten food while demanding his resignation since his leaked audio with Inspector Kim was shown to the public. This was Ki Joo’s doing. Meanwhile, Lee Seon ho starts having nightmares of evil spirits in prison. Because of this, he is beaten up by his fellow inmates.

Han Bom and Ki Joo go on dates. Ki Joo tells Han Bom he plans to be a photographer for living humans and Han Bom is happy with the idea and tells him she should be his first model. They enjoy their time together but upon returning home, Ki joo meets with Nam ku who has already given Seung Hoon a gift, an expensive watch. (Seung Hoon has no idea it’s a parting gift)

Nam ku tells him that he’s ready to leave for the netherworld but without anyone else knowing. Ki Joo is surprised by his decision and asks him the reason why. Nam ku shows him his darkening hand signifying that he’s turning to an evil spirit. He tells him he doesn’t have time left and doesn’t want the others to see what he has become. Ki Joo reluctantly agrees. After confirming from Bom that she won’t be home on time due to her busy schedule, Ki Joo prepares to take Nam ku’s last picture. He presents to him his police uniform, thereby surprising Nam ku who wears it with tears in his eyes.

He settles down for the picture and Ki Joo asks if he is sure he wants to go alone without bidding farewell to the others but Nam ku insists, telling Ki Joo to take the picture before he changes his mind. Ki Joo tries taking the picture but to his surprise, the camera doesn’t work. All of a sudden, the shadow of death enters the studio easily and starts to attack them.  His sole aim is to get the camera. But in the midst of fighting, Nam ku turns into an evil spirit and gets posessed by the shadow of death. 

He grabs Ki Joo to try and stab him with a knife but when Ki Joo shouts his name, he momentarily regains himself and pleads with him to kil him instead so he wouldn’t hurt anyone else and so that the shadow of death can leave his body. Ki Joo cries, knowing that by doing so, Nam ku would no longer be reborn and his soul would completely scatter but Nam ku insists crying that he can no longer hold back the evil inside him so Ki Joo plunges the knife into his body. The shadow of death vanishes and Nam ku disintegrates leaving Ki Joo a crying mess. 

Bom is heading back home when a red light begins to shine on the scar around her wrist. She starts to experience and excruciating pain and the episode ends.
