Goblin (2016) s01e01 Episode Script
What Kind of a Guardian Are You?
1
If a spirit inhabits an object that has
the touch or the blood of a human on it
the spirit becomes a goblin.
And this was a sword
from a battlefield
with the blood of thousands on it
with even its own owner's blood on
it, so it was only to be expected.
And only the bride of the goblin will
be able to pull out that sword.
And when the sword is pulled out
he will become nothing
once more, and rest in peace.
Of course, this is a cruel
deal for the goblin.
The goblin, which woke up
to realize that it is immortal
is everywhere and nowhere in
this world at the same time
and even now, nobody
knows where he may be
Why the hell are you laughing, girl?
Are you about to tell me, "he's still
looking for his bride, and it's me"?
Even though I look like this now, I had
hordes of men following me in my prime!
Don't come back next time
only to be surprised to find me gone.
Wow, I'm so jealous.
I'm just getting old.
That's not something for me to
brag about in front of you, though.
Hey, that's not nice!
No, I'm not! I give you discounts
on spinach and cabbage!
The bastard who left you behind
and ran off is the not nice one here.
You do have a point.
But you know, that story is too sad.
Ha, sure.
It's really a romantic sort of curse.
I mean, he has to find
his bride in order to die.
God is cruel.
God has always been cruel.
And he's selfish and jealous too.
God only cares about himself.
He's just like another
guy we know, huh?
Well, I'll be going now.
I hope you sell a lot.
And you'd better be
here next time too, okay?
When you're in a position in which
your life is flashing before your eyes
pray for mercy
with all your heart.
Because a god with a soft spot
may be listening to you.
I wouldn't recommend doing that.
If you run away from home now, you'll
live with worse people than that.
And you'll never see
your mother again.
Who the hell are you?
Are you Korean?
I'm a more complicated person
than you'd think.
It's your turn now.
Go and tell him clearly
"you've adopted me, so you're my father.
So you have to raise me well."
And ask your mother for help too.
And tell her you're in pain.
What kind of bull are you spouting?
Get the hell out of my way!
And slitting your wrist like
that won't kill you
but it'll render your hand
useless, so be aware of that.
Who are you?
Don't avoid his gaze
and speak clearly.
Can you do that?
And what if he beats me to death?
Will you take responsibility?
That's why I broke his rib for you.
You little bastard!
That's lunch for you.
Go to school
after you're done talking to him.
The answer for number 17
on the math quiz isn't 2. It's 4.
You got that question wrong, so
Who are you, really?
He's water, wind, and fire.
Light and darkness.
And at one time
He was human.
His subjects called him "god."
He cut down his foes
covered in crimson blood.
And he was a military man
through and through.
- Hooray!
- Hooray!
- Hooray for the general!
- Hooray for the general!
Step aside! It's the great
general Kim shin!
Kim shin will take off his armor
and heed the king's royal decree.
I dare you to say
that again, punk!
How dare some political
lackey like you oppose
The criminal Kim shin will
take off his armor and
How dare you!
I heard you loud and clear.
Wait there.
Happy now?
Criminal Kim shin, put down your
sword and get on your knees
and heed the king's royal decree.
I'll pull that rotten tongue
of yours right out!
"Criminal Kim shin"?
Are you out of your damn mind?
Are you insane?
General.
Criminal Kim shin, put down your
sword and get on your knees
I'm going to see the king.
Get out of my way.
- Criminal Kim shin
- If you don't move, you'll surely die.
Step aside.
You bastards!
These men fought
for three straight nights!
They were just on their way
back from that hell!
So how dare you
How dare you bastards!
Open the castle gates!
Stay here and watch over the men.
I'll be right back.
They say that he's like a king among
the people and regarded as a god.
And his name is Kim shin.
That man's endless ascension to power
is making the citizens rise up
and his power makes a mockery
of the royal family's authority.
So please, issue him the harshest
punishment you can under the law.
He was able to see the blades
of his opponents quite well
but he'd been blind to the young
king's fear and jealousy toward him.
And he was unaware of the fact
that the king's jealousy and fear were
sharper than any blade he'd known.
So he's really going this far?
Don't step any closer.
Stop right there.
Stop all of it.
Stop right there and die.
If you do, I'll spare everyone else.
But if you take even one
more step toward me
I'll kill everyone in front of you
and lay their corpses at your feet.
Go, general.
I'm all right.
I
Your highness, I
I know.
I know everything.
And if this is the end for me,
then such is my fate.
So please, go.
Don't stop, and keep
walking toward the king.
Don't spare her
or anyone related to her!
This is my command!
Stop!
What are you doing?
Bring the criminal to his knees!
General!
Your highness!
How could you do this?
Have you no fear of the heavens?
It's not like the heavens
have ever taken your side.
Having that sinner's gaze
upon us is making me dizzy.
Strike him down now!
This doesn't concern you.
General! General!
I want to make
a final request of you.
To think that such a day would come.
Forgive me, sir.
I'll be right behind you, sir.
Nobody may retrieve
this criminal's body.
Leave it out on the fields to be
consumed by wild animals!
Such is the only fitting punishment
for a criminal such as him.
This is a royal decree!
- Please have mercy, god!
- Please, spare him!
Don't pray to anyone or anything.
Because the gods aren't listening.
And on that clear,
sunny afternoon
He died by the very
blade that he'd wielded.
Ow, damn it!
You crazy bastard!
Are your eyes only there
for decoration?
You have a death wish
Hey, what's with you, bastard?
A wild boar.
What?
You struck a wild boar
with your car.
Are you all right, sir?
Do you want me to call the authorities?
I just hit a wild boar, you see
So, um, a wild boar
came out of nowhere!
A wild boar?
In the middle of gangnam?
It's it's a person!
Oh my gosh, what do we do?
Hello? This is 911, right?
I'm at the yeoksang
four-way intersection.
There's a woman in the trunk of
a car here! I think she may be dead.
I'm not sure.
She's not moving. Yes.
I'm not sure about that. I just happened
to come across this car accident
I'm not sure what's going on.
You should hurry and come.
Yes.
Why am I
Why am I there?
Hwang mi young.
25 years old.
Born in the year of the ox
on march 1st.
Time of death is 08:32 on Friday.
That's the information
I have on the deceased.
That's you, right?
Drink it. It'll make you forget about
what happened to you in this life.
What happens if I don't drink this?
You'll come to regret it.
I hope that you will leave your
regrets behind with this life.
A goblin?
A god of death?
That's quite a vulgar
disguise he has on.
Your lordship!
It's been 20 years
since I've last seen you.
Have you been well for
all those years, sir?
Have you been well?
Well, I've aged quite a bit, sir.
But you're looking
as brilliant as ever.
He doesn't look that cool to me.
You punk!
This is my grandson.
The one that I've told you about.
Greet him properly.
Who is this guy?
So you're duk hwa.
I'm someone who'll be your uncle, your
brother, your son, then your grandson.
Pleased to make your acquaintance.
What does that even mean?
You seem weirder and weirder
by the minute, mister.
You brat!
Oh, I offer my deepest apologies, sir.
He's an only child
and was quite spoiled, you see.
But you
Me? What about me?
There was a boy who was born in this land
but was laid to rest in another country.
You're his descendant.
And you look just like him.
Which part, exactly?
Was that ancestor of mine handsome?
Duk hwa!
I have no idea how such an insolent child
came to be. My apologies, your lordship.
Worry not.
You've never disappointed anyone.
But you know, uncle.
Why do you keep using
informal speech toward grandpa?
Do you have a death wish
or something?
Why, you little!
Oh my
Your lordship.
I offer my deepest apologies
for coming to see you so late.
I've been sick all this
time, your lordship.
I must feel the same way
that your blade does, sir.
From this moment on, this child
will serve you, your lordship.
This is my grandson.
This sword is "your lordship," grandpa?
It seems that your subjects
have saved your soul.
However, your blade
is stained with blood.
They may have been your enemies,
but they were the gods' creations.
So you will be immortal and alone,
watching your loved ones die before you.
Not a single one of those deaths
will be wiped from your memory.
This blessing is the punishment
that I am giving to you.
And only the goblin's bride will be
able to remove that blade.
And when she does, you'll be able to
return to nothingness and rest in peace.
Your lordship!
There is a place
where I must go.
Who goes there?
How dare you come into
a place like this?
Hey, you insolent
Y-You are
I was too late, it seems.
Grandpa! Grandpa!
Grandpa!
It seems
That this is the first punishment
that I am receiving.
Please accept me.
As of this moment,
I will serve you.
That was my grandfather's final wish.
I became blinded
by my desire for revenge
And couldn't even ask your
grandfather how he'd been.
And yet
You wish to serve me?
It's quite nice to be able to enjoy
a view like this at my leisure.
And I'm happy that you can enjoy
a view like this at your leisure.
Here.
You should have it, your lordship.
I'm still quite full.
How is it that you're full
when you've had nothing to eat?
I'm tiny, so I get full even after
eating the tiniest morsel of food.
You're much bigger than I am, sir,
so please eat that instead.
We can do this, then.
We're still quite
far from land, sir.
Neither of us will be full
if we share this.
So is that why
you're insisting on starving?
I'm a child, so I can go around
to beg for food if I get hungry.
Do you think I brought you with me
just to have you go around begging?
Trust me.
I may be an even greater
person than you imagine.
Come, now.
Wow!
Wow!
Your lordship!
Your lordship!
Can I peek in that bag of yours?
We need to decrease
the weight on this boat, you see.
Your lordship.
Your lordship!
Put that child down now.
If you do, I'll let you keep
your life at the very least.
It's clear there's someone among us who's
at fault for the waves being unruly.
I'll sell you as a slave,
so give me your hands and feet!
And as for this squirt,
throw him overboard.
Do you know what happens to
humans who are lesser than animals?
They meet the god of wrath.
H-H-He's a goblin!
Please, spare us!
It's too late.
It sure is nice to be back
here at my leisure.
Why? Why did you do that?
If there is a god, please
Please, save me.
Please, save me.
Just anybody, please. Save me!
Who are you?
I'm "just anybody."
Please please, help me.
Well, I don't know.
It's my rule not to get involved
in human beings' lives.
I really can't
just die like this.
The one you're asking me
to save isn't you, is it?
Just my child, at least. Please.
You're lucky, though, to have
met a soft-hearted god like me.
It's just that I don't want
to see anyone die tonight.
Snow, and rain, and
Flowers, eh?
- The goblin's bride is back.
- The goblin's bride is back.
What do you want for your
birthday this year, eun tak?
Round rice cakes?
Square rice cakes?
Mom. Can't I have a party now
instead of Korean-style parties?
What's the difference?
Well, a cake instead of
rice cakes, for one.
I want to blow out candles
and make a wish too.
I think the reason why my
wish isn't coming true is because
I've been making my wishes on rice
cakes instead of birthday candles.
Oh, I didn't realize!
I only got you rice cakes
because you like them!
All right, then. Let's throw you
a party with cake from now on.
Wow! You're the best, mom!
Oh, it's a puppy!
Huh? A puppy?
Look at this.
It's spring again.
Isn't that fascinating?
Ah, I'm so tired.
Mom, I got a 100 on
my English quiz today!
I'm super-duper tired because
I used so much brainpower today!
Oh, really?
Wow! It's cake!
Are we going to have
a party now, mom?
Yeah. Come and sit.
Light the candles.
Is it okay for me to light them?
You can do it since you're
all grown up now, eun tak.
Oh yeah.
I'm nine years old now.
I even got a 100 on my English
quiz, so this is a cakewalk.
Where did you learn that saying?
You don't need to know, mom.
I'm just good at picking up these
things from all sorts of people.
I think I might be a genius
What's the matter?
You have to make a wish.
Happy birthday, my little pup!
It's not really you, mom.
It's your spirit that
I'm talking to, isn't it?
So you really can see
everything, can't you?
I was hoping that you
wouldn't be able to.
Are you dead, mom?
Really?
Where are you, mom?
Where are you now?
At sageori hospital.
You'll be getting
a call from the hospital.
And when you get there,
your aunt will arrive soon.
It's cold at night, so make
sure you have a scarf on.
Ask the granny at the supermarket
to go with you too. Okay?
You know how to get to
her place, right?
Go down the alleyway next to
the dry cleaners and then make a right.
Oh, you're so clever,
my little pup!
Don't ever look another spirit
in the eye from now on, okay?
I'm sorry, mom, that I can see spirits.
But it's because I can see spirits
that I can see you now.
I'm okay, mom.
Okay.
Thank you so much
For seeing me like this.
I I think that
I have to go now.
I love you, my little pup.
Me too.
I love you too, mom.
Bye, mom. Goodbye.
You have to go to heaven, okay?
You have to!
Mom!
Mom!
Hello? Is this
Ms. Ji yeon hee's home?
This is sageori jaeil
hospital, and
I know.
I'll head over there.
I'm not going to make a wish.
I'm not going to make
even a single wish.
Nobody ever grants
them for me anyway.
So who would I even
make the wish to?
How is it that you never
seem to grow old, granny?
How could I possibly get
any older than this?
You do have a point.
Can't you check up on my eun tak
every once in a while?
Spouting such nonsense again.
Why would I check up
on your daughter?
Just every once in a while!
Give her some leftover
cabbage if you have any
and some spinach, too.
You should've just died then. Why did you
have to ask them to give you more time?
You're so mean.
You're the one who told me
to plead with them with all my heart.
And you actually believed that?
And thanks to that, I got to live
for a bit longer before I had to go.
Thanks for everything, granny.
I came to say goodbye.
I'm going now.
Who are you, mister?
You can see me?
Oh, my scarf. I didn't put it on.
Mom's going to yell at me.
You have it on already, though.
This is Ms. Ji yeon hee's home, right?
I came here since her spirit
wasn't at the hospital.
But how is a child like you, who wasn't
supposed to have been born
Did you, by any chance,
become nine years old this year?
I can't hear your voice
at all, mister.
What brings you here, ma'am?
Go. And leave this child alone.
Granny!
You're getting in the way of my work.
As if.
Why are you trying to take her now
when it's already been so long?
I'm glad for this chance.
Better late than never.
I have no time right now.
That's your problem.
Do you have this child's
name on your list?
She had no name back then,
but she has a name now.
If you have a certificate with
her name on it, hand it over.
I'll hand her over if you do.
If I'm going to get that, I need to get
nine years' worth of evidence on her.
You, of all people, should know
I'll be seeing you again, child.
Granny! Mom is
I know. And we can't
do anything about that.
But you have to live.
You have to move within three days
if you don't want him to find you.
You've looked a god of death in the
eye, so you can't live here any longer.
He won't be able to
find me if I move?
No, he won't.
That's why land is so important.
After midnight, a man and two women
will come for you at the funeral parlor.
Go with them.
It'll be hard on you,
but you have no other choice.
But why are you telling
me all of this?
Because I've taken a liking to you.
When she was pregnant with you
She was so happy.
Here. A birthday gift.
Excuse me.
Want to get a drink with me?
Sure.
This card worked up until
yesterday, but now it doesn't!
So, um, uncle.
There are some unfriendly
guys in suits at the bar.
I'm, um, with those people right now.
So please, pick up the phone!
They asked for your cell phone number
and got really unfriendly when
I told them that you don't have one.
Uncle. Are you listening?
Uncle! Uncle!
Uncle!
She still eats by herself even
though it's the end of senior year.
If you feel that bad for her,
go and eat with her yourself.
Are you crazy?
Why would I do that?
That girl sees spirits!
I'm more scared of her
than I am of ghosts.
At least you can't see ghosts.
Look. She can hear everything we're
saying, but she's acting as if she can't.
Hey.
Hey, I heard that
you're the goblin's bride.
Come on, I know you can see me.
Come with me.
It's just that I'm so lonely!
Please?
Hey, why do you keep ignoring me?
You evil girl!
Oh, geez!
See? I knew you could see me.
Wait, so it's true?
I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!
What was that? Why did she
apologize all of the sudden?
You didn't even turn on
any of the lights, your lordship.
I was lost in my thoughts.
These are the materials you
requested of me from the nis.
Then
Yes. It's happened, your lordship.
Duk hwa is already 25 years old now.
I've pulled a lot of strings so you can
leave near the end of the month.
If you leave now, your lordship
This will be the last time in
my lifetime I'll see you, correct?
I thank you for every second
that we've shared together.
Duk hwa will be here
when you return, sir.
I've been losing my keys
all the time lately
so I've had the lock
changed to a key less one.
Grandpa! Uncle shin!
There you are, uncle shin.
I begged you to come and pick me up.
But here you are.
Do not interrupt an adults' conversation!
Did you cancel my card?
You canceled my card, didn't you!
Yeah, I canceled it, you brat.
Ugh, I was totally humiliated!
Do you know how tough she was to get to?
Why did you even make me your heir
if you were going to treat me like this?
Uncle shin, are you going somewhere?
- Where are you going?
- I told you to speak with more respect!
Stay out of this, grandpa.
Is it about that thing again?
About you looking for your bride?
Why can't you just say that you're
leaving to get married somewhere?
Why can't you say it!
You're saying this kid will be here
when I return?
Uncle shin, exactly when
and what time are you leaving?
One male and two females!
Your breakfast is ready.
I said, your breakfast is ready.
Shut up, you loudmouth.
Why are you blabbering so much over
the stupid breakfast you cooked?
What's with the seaweed soup?
Is it someone's birthday today?
Are you kidding me? Did she make the soup
because it's her birthday or something?
Yeah, it is.
How can she be proud of having killed her
own mom just to be born on this day?
She's shameless because
she doesn't know any better.
Whatever she learned, she got it from you
since she's been with us for 10 years.
Shut up and eat your food.
Thanks for wishing me a happy birthday.
This is why people say that
you should never take in a stray.
Being too compassionate is my downfall.
I'm the pitiful one here since
I've raised her in her mother's stead.
Your words are a bit harsh.
How is it harsh?
She may be your mom,
but she's my older sister.
Exactly. She and I are closer in
both heart and connection.
- Do you even know what you're saying?
- Shut up and eat your food.
Where are you running off to?
I'm not running off anywhere.
I'm going to school.
You're dead if you touch those umbrellas.
Meet me at the bank
with your bankbook after school.
You know what will happen
if you don't, right?
How many times have I told you
that I don't have a bankbook?
Then where's the bankbook?
Where's your mom's insurance money?
How would I know that?
You took all the money for yourself!
You even took the money from our house!
Why is she talking
so much crap this morning?
Just shut up and bring it
unless you want to get your ass beaten.
The bankbook disappears whenever
I need to go to the bank
and who else could it be but you?
I'm telling you that
the bitch is possessed.
That's right.
There's a ghost right behind you.
What! You crazy bitch!
My lordship.
Will you be traveling alone
this time too?
Yes, it would seem so.
No women I've ever met has been
able to see the sword.
Which is of a great relief to me.
I hope the bride appears quickly for you
when you're in agony over the sword.
But if the sword is seen,
I hope no one finds out about it.
That's just human greed, I guess.
It's a relief for me too.
To still have you by my side,
and a full drink in my hand besides.
For tonight at least,
I'd like to remain alive.
Shall we drink to that?
When I was nine years old,
I told myself that I'd never do this.
But I'm desperate right now,
so I hope you understand.
Please help me find a job,
do something about my relatives
and please help me find a boyfriend!
Please help me find a job,
do something about my relatives
and help me improve my pathetic life.
Even 100 won in my pocket
would be fine! Please.
What in the world am I doing?
Who am I even praying to?
There is no god.
You're seriously not going to
make it rain right now, are you?
It's not even the rainy season!
Will the rain even stop?
Will it ever?
Why do you keep making it rain when
I don't even have an umbrella of my own?
- Was it you?
- Oh my goodness.
Me?
Me?
- Were you talking to me?
- Yeah, you.
Was it you?
- What about me?
- Were you the one who summoned me?
- Me? I didn't summon you.
- You did summon me.
- But just how did you summon me?
- How would I have summoned you?
- I seriously didn't summon you.
- You definitely did summon me.
- Try to remember how you summoned me.
- Desperately?
I didn't summon you.
I'm just able to see you.
Because we accidentally locked eyes
when we passed each other the other day.
You're him, aren't you?
- What do you mean, you can see me?
- You're a ghost, aren't you?
I'm able to see ghosts.
- I'm not a ghost.
- That's what they all say at first.
Who are you?
Why can't you see what you
should see right in front of you?
- What am I supposed to see?
- Your twenties, thirties your future.
Maybe because there is no future for me.
Were you a shaman or something
before you died? Or a con man?
- My future, my butt.
- What? A con, what?
Go to the light.
Wandering around for too long isn't good.
- What's with those flowers?
- I thought you wanted me to leave.
Okay, leave.
They're buckwheat flowers.
But that's not what I'm asking.
Why are you holding those flowers?
Give them to me.
They don't really suit you.
I've never been told that before.
I've seriously never been told that.
You can just give them to me.
It's my birthday today.
A very depressing birthday.
I get nothing but weeds for my birthday.
I got a napa cabbage
for my ninth birthday.
But what is the meaning
of these buckwheat flowers?
Lovers.
Why were you crying?
Job, relatives, or boyfriend?
Which of the three were you crying over?
- How did you know that?
- I heard you.
What do you mean, you heard it?
- I Grant some people their wishes.
- You Grant people their wishes?
Like a magic genie?
Or a guardian angel?
Are you serious?
I knew it.
I knew you were different from other
ghosts from the moment I first saw you.
- Are you really my guardian angel?
- I didn't say I was your guardian angel.
My mom once told me that everyone is born
with their own life dictionary.
And in my dictionary, words such as
"luck" or "fortune" don't exist.
- You know what I mean, right?
- No, I don't.
I'm asking if I can have
about five million.
If getting me the cash is too tough,
then tell me the winning lottery numbers.
Go and say goodbye to your family.
You won't get to see them for a while.
Keep looking for a job at a chicken
restaurant. You'll find something soon.
Hey! What about my boyfriend?
Hello? Hey!
Ugh, what a poor sport!
- I haven't met you before.
- Likewise.
But I have heard rumors.
There are all sorts of rumors about me.
What are you doing in my home?
You live here?
All the furniture you see is included,
so you just need to move in
When did you get home, uncle shin?
- Explain.
- The thing is
This house is going to sit vacant
for like 20 years.
I thought about the money we could make
by charging someone monthly rent
Do you even know what that is?
That thing over there is
Don't refer to our new tenant as "that"!
He owns tea houses.
I'm sorry, I apologize.
My uncle is socially awkward.
- Here's your coffee.
- Thanks.
- He hasn't paid yet.
- I saw the new car out front.
- It's the new tenant's car.
- It's not my car.
And I've already given all my money
To him.
Then I'll give you your money back,
so leave.
I know you'd give me my money back,
but I've already signed the papers.
- I hope that wasn't very important.
- That was just a copy.
The real estate agent has the original
and my stuff will be here tomorrow.
I don't have any plans tomorrow.
If you're done with your coffee, leave.
My hospitality ends here.
Go and pack your bags.
If you're leaving for the next 20 years,
then you should start packing now.
You really want to start with a goblin?
I'm sure you're aware of what it means
to sign a contract with the grim reaper.
How about I take that young boy
instead of this house, then?
Nothing else I can do.
Use one of the many empty rooms.
- Make yourself at home.
- It is my home.
No, it's my house.
If you think you can kick a goblin out of
his own turf, then give it your best try.
This is not the nice dinner
I had envisioned for myself.
It's like a horrible restaurant that
I've only heard rumors about.
My bad.
I was trying to get my soup.
My bad this time.
I was trying to get you.
- "You"?
- I thought we had settled that earlier.
This. That. Hey. You.
Lovers?
Lovers what a joke.
Hello.
Are you the owner?
My name is ji eun tak.
I have a very upbeat
and positive attitude
so I can do any and every type of work
you can ask of me with a smile!
No matter how dirty the job
That was a load of crap
about me finding a job.
A guardian angel?
What a liar.
I should've at least gotten his number.
- See? It was you.
- Oh my goodness.
Why do you keep following me around?
- I didn't follow you. You summoned me.
- No, I didn't.
If I had the power to do that,
I wouldn't be suffering like this.
How would I do that?
By shaking a bell or something?
- Why would you ask me?
- Because you keep arguing with me.
Anyway, are you sure
you're a guardian angel?
What kind of angel
are you, though?
One that's been disgraced?
One that's on probation?
One that's new to the job?
Who are you?
Is the part-time job at the chicken
restaurant you mentioned
actually a job on a chicken farm?
- No, it's not.
- Where is it then?
You gave me high hopes
as if it'd actually happen!
- You really don't know what
- No.
Like I said, I didn't summon you.
It was you! It was!
It definitely was!
I've never had anything like
this happen to me before.
Was it really me?
Really?
If it really was me, then
What am I, exactly?
Oh, I think I know now.
What is it?
Tell me everything that
you can see about me.
You have a school uniform on.
What else?
You're pretty.
I mean, your uniform is.
Is that all?
You don't see anything else about me?
I really must be a fairy
or something, like tinker bell.
Geez, he can't even take a joke?
Oh yeah, his phone number!
Damn it!
In the name of the father, son,
and holy spirit, amen.
Let us pray.
We thank you, oh lord, for
blessing us all so much.
Everything we do is for you, lord,
so please give us strength.
I got it! I figured out
how I can call you!
But still, couldn't you have called
me to a better place than this?
Are you scared?
I heard that Jesus and his
followers were good people.
Stop flattering them. Didn't you say
before that you didn't believe in them?
I came by just in case
they might be here.
Why are you walking away instead of
disappearing with sparks and such?
I can't do that here.
Think of this as being
a kind of a dead zone for me.
And don't follow me.
What are you planning to
do about my wish?
None of the three things
that I wished for were taken care of.
They'll be taken care of soon.
Same goes for your job.
No, not that. I mean the thing
about me getting a boyfriend.
You'll have to try hard
to make that happen too!
You can't just leave things like this!
I know how to summon him now.
I've got it now.
Oh, I didn't think that
this would work.
Why did you do it, then?
Wait!
Did you just latch onto me?
Oh, I can't hold on
much longer! That's hot!
I thought you'd be cold
since you were blue.
Don't you know that blue fire
is the hottest kind of fire?
Why not study if you have
time to fool around like this?
You know, I've always been
at the top of my classes
Oh, whatever.
Can't you just give me money
instead of being a guardian angel
and call it a day?
I have to go because I'm busy.
What's got you so busy?
Well, your outfit is
a bit fancy, yes.
Tomorrow's the death anniversary
of someone that I knew.
So why are you heading
over there today?
Is that person's grave
out in the countryside?
In that place,
today is tomorrow.
When are you coming back?
Tomorrow? The day after that?
There's something
I really want to ask!
Hurry up and ask, then!
I know that this is
a strange question, but
I'd like for you to not
misunderstand and hear me out.
All right, already,
so ask away. What?
When you first showed up,
I thought you may be a god of death.
But you would have taken me away
as soon as you saw me if you were.
And then, I thought that
you may just be a ghost.
But you have a shadow.
So I thought long and hard
about what you might be.
And? What's your conclusion?
What am I?
A goblin.
Are you a goblin, by any chance?
Who are you?
Who are you, really?
It feels a bit awkward
for me to say, but
I'm the goblin's bride.
You know that I can see spirits, right?
I had this on me
Since I was born.
I think it's because of this that ghosts
keep saying that I'm the goblin's bride.
You can see it, right?
Right here.
You can see it, right?
Prove it to me.
You want me to prove that
I'm the goblin's bride?
Yeah.
How do I do that?
Do you want me to fly or something?
Or turn into a broomstick?
Do it.
I'm being really serious right now.
Me too.
Tell me what you see
when you look at me.
Are you trying to get revenge on me?
Tell me, already!
Tell me everything you see!
You're tall.
And?
- Your clothes look expensive.
- And?
You look like you're in
your mid-thirties.
And?
You don't want me to tell you that
you're handsome or something, right?
You needed to have
the answer that I want.
But if that's all you can see,
you're not the goblin's bride.
You'd be of no use
to a goblin like this.
I'm sorry that you see ghosts
but you're not supposed to
be alive anyway, so be thankful.
You've already broken the rules
just by existing as a human being.
What if I don't want to be thankful?
Then you can just die
like you were supposed to.
You're so cruel.
Fine, then.
Let me ask you the same
thing I asked, one more time.
Are you, by any chance, a goblin?
- No.
- You're not?
- I'm not.
- What are you, then?
Who are you to decide whether
you'll be with me or not?
I thought you wanted your life
to change for the better.
I'm just someone who cares just
a little bit about your crappy life.
Tune into reality instead of letting
yourself be consumed by rumors.
Because you're not the goblin's bride.
Wait!
I'm not finished talking
Did you just follow me
through that door?
How did you do that?
I grabbed the doorknob and pushed.
And then I followed you, mister
But what's with this place?
Hey, I just asked you a question.
How did you come through that door?
Oh, is this
provence village in paju?
But still, this doesn't
seem quite right.
What's going on here?
Where is this place?
Canada.
Canada?
Canada
You mean, the place
with the maple leaf?
The one in North America?
Is this really a different country?
Wow. You can do this too?
You apparently can too.
Who are you, really?
If this really is Canada and
you really have the power to do this
I've made up my mind.
- About what?
- I've made up my mind!
So, about what, exactly?
I'll marry you, mister!
Because no matter how I think about it,
I'm pretty sure that you're a goblin.
I love you!
Is this it?
The red café, just for me?
Isn't it an honor to be with me?
Who is she, really?
I'm someone who'll become
your bride in 200 years, mister.
Keep the lights on, no matter what.
I want to see the entire room,
no matter where I'm standing.
Oh, how manly of you.
- Duk hwa.
- Did something bad happen?
Who said that I'd be your bride?
Be careful of a man wearing
a hat! A black hat.
Am I dying now?
I just turned 19, though.
Some people die when they're
nine, and some when they're ten.
That's what death is.
If a spirit inhabits an object that has
the touch or the blood of a human on it
the spirit becomes a goblin.
And this was a sword
from a battlefield
with the blood of thousands on it
with even its own owner's blood on
it, so it was only to be expected.
And only the bride of the goblin will
be able to pull out that sword.
And when the sword is pulled out
he will become nothing
once more, and rest in peace.
Of course, this is a cruel
deal for the goblin.
The goblin, which woke up
to realize that it is immortal
is everywhere and nowhere in
this world at the same time
and even now, nobody
knows where he may be
Why the hell are you laughing, girl?
Are you about to tell me, "he's still
looking for his bride, and it's me"?
Even though I look like this now, I had
hordes of men following me in my prime!
Don't come back next time
only to be surprised to find me gone.
Wow, I'm so jealous.
I'm just getting old.
That's not something for me to
brag about in front of you, though.
Hey, that's not nice!
No, I'm not! I give you discounts
on spinach and cabbage!
The bastard who left you behind
and ran off is the not nice one here.
You do have a point.
But you know, that story is too sad.
Ha, sure.
It's really a romantic sort of curse.
I mean, he has to find
his bride in order to die.
God is cruel.
God has always been cruel.
And he's selfish and jealous too.
God only cares about himself.
He's just like another
guy we know, huh?
Well, I'll be going now.
I hope you sell a lot.
And you'd better be
here next time too, okay?
When you're in a position in which
your life is flashing before your eyes
pray for mercy
with all your heart.
Because a god with a soft spot
may be listening to you.
I wouldn't recommend doing that.
If you run away from home now, you'll
live with worse people than that.
And you'll never see
your mother again.
Who the hell are you?
Are you Korean?
I'm a more complicated person
than you'd think.
It's your turn now.
Go and tell him clearly
"you've adopted me, so you're my father.
So you have to raise me well."
And ask your mother for help too.
And tell her you're in pain.
What kind of bull are you spouting?
Get the hell out of my way!
And slitting your wrist like
that won't kill you
but it'll render your hand
useless, so be aware of that.
Who are you?
Don't avoid his gaze
and speak clearly.
Can you do that?
And what if he beats me to death?
Will you take responsibility?
That's why I broke his rib for you.
You little bastard!
That's lunch for you.
Go to school
after you're done talking to him.
The answer for number 17
on the math quiz isn't 2. It's 4.
You got that question wrong, so
Who are you, really?
He's water, wind, and fire.
Light and darkness.
And at one time
He was human.
His subjects called him "god."
He cut down his foes
covered in crimson blood.
And he was a military man
through and through.
- Hooray!
- Hooray!
- Hooray for the general!
- Hooray for the general!
Step aside! It's the great
general Kim shin!
Kim shin will take off his armor
and heed the king's royal decree.
I dare you to say
that again, punk!
How dare some political
lackey like you oppose
The criminal Kim shin will
take off his armor and
How dare you!
I heard you loud and clear.
Wait there.
Happy now?
Criminal Kim shin, put down your
sword and get on your knees
and heed the king's royal decree.
I'll pull that rotten tongue
of yours right out!
"Criminal Kim shin"?
Are you out of your damn mind?
Are you insane?
General.
Criminal Kim shin, put down your
sword and get on your knees
I'm going to see the king.
Get out of my way.
- Criminal Kim shin
- If you don't move, you'll surely die.
Step aside.
You bastards!
These men fought
for three straight nights!
They were just on their way
back from that hell!
So how dare you
How dare you bastards!
Open the castle gates!
Stay here and watch over the men.
I'll be right back.
They say that he's like a king among
the people and regarded as a god.
And his name is Kim shin.
That man's endless ascension to power
is making the citizens rise up
and his power makes a mockery
of the royal family's authority.
So please, issue him the harshest
punishment you can under the law.
He was able to see the blades
of his opponents quite well
but he'd been blind to the young
king's fear and jealousy toward him.
And he was unaware of the fact
that the king's jealousy and fear were
sharper than any blade he'd known.
So he's really going this far?
Don't step any closer.
Stop right there.
Stop all of it.
Stop right there and die.
If you do, I'll spare everyone else.
But if you take even one
more step toward me
I'll kill everyone in front of you
and lay their corpses at your feet.
Go, general.
I'm all right.
I
Your highness, I
I know.
I know everything.
And if this is the end for me,
then such is my fate.
So please, go.
Don't stop, and keep
walking toward the king.
Don't spare her
or anyone related to her!
This is my command!
Stop!
What are you doing?
Bring the criminal to his knees!
General!
Your highness!
How could you do this?
Have you no fear of the heavens?
It's not like the heavens
have ever taken your side.
Having that sinner's gaze
upon us is making me dizzy.
Strike him down now!
This doesn't concern you.
General! General!
I want to make
a final request of you.
To think that such a day would come.
Forgive me, sir.
I'll be right behind you, sir.
Nobody may retrieve
this criminal's body.
Leave it out on the fields to be
consumed by wild animals!
Such is the only fitting punishment
for a criminal such as him.
This is a royal decree!
- Please have mercy, god!
- Please, spare him!
Don't pray to anyone or anything.
Because the gods aren't listening.
And on that clear,
sunny afternoon
He died by the very
blade that he'd wielded.
Ow, damn it!
You crazy bastard!
Are your eyes only there
for decoration?
You have a death wish
Hey, what's with you, bastard?
A wild boar.
What?
You struck a wild boar
with your car.
Are you all right, sir?
Do you want me to call the authorities?
I just hit a wild boar, you see
So, um, a wild boar
came out of nowhere!
A wild boar?
In the middle of gangnam?
It's it's a person!
Oh my gosh, what do we do?
Hello? This is 911, right?
I'm at the yeoksang
four-way intersection.
There's a woman in the trunk of
a car here! I think she may be dead.
I'm not sure.
She's not moving. Yes.
I'm not sure about that. I just happened
to come across this car accident
I'm not sure what's going on.
You should hurry and come.
Yes.
Why am I
Why am I there?
Hwang mi young.
25 years old.
Born in the year of the ox
on march 1st.
Time of death is 08:32 on Friday.
That's the information
I have on the deceased.
That's you, right?
Drink it. It'll make you forget about
what happened to you in this life.
What happens if I don't drink this?
You'll come to regret it.
I hope that you will leave your
regrets behind with this life.
A goblin?
A god of death?
That's quite a vulgar
disguise he has on.
Your lordship!
It's been 20 years
since I've last seen you.
Have you been well for
all those years, sir?
Have you been well?
Well, I've aged quite a bit, sir.
But you're looking
as brilliant as ever.
He doesn't look that cool to me.
You punk!
This is my grandson.
The one that I've told you about.
Greet him properly.
Who is this guy?
So you're duk hwa.
I'm someone who'll be your uncle, your
brother, your son, then your grandson.
Pleased to make your acquaintance.
What does that even mean?
You seem weirder and weirder
by the minute, mister.
You brat!
Oh, I offer my deepest apologies, sir.
He's an only child
and was quite spoiled, you see.
But you
Me? What about me?
There was a boy who was born in this land
but was laid to rest in another country.
You're his descendant.
And you look just like him.
Which part, exactly?
Was that ancestor of mine handsome?
Duk hwa!
I have no idea how such an insolent child
came to be. My apologies, your lordship.
Worry not.
You've never disappointed anyone.
But you know, uncle.
Why do you keep using
informal speech toward grandpa?
Do you have a death wish
or something?
Why, you little!
Oh my
Your lordship.
I offer my deepest apologies
for coming to see you so late.
I've been sick all this
time, your lordship.
I must feel the same way
that your blade does, sir.
From this moment on, this child
will serve you, your lordship.
This is my grandson.
This sword is "your lordship," grandpa?
It seems that your subjects
have saved your soul.
However, your blade
is stained with blood.
They may have been your enemies,
but they were the gods' creations.
So you will be immortal and alone,
watching your loved ones die before you.
Not a single one of those deaths
will be wiped from your memory.
This blessing is the punishment
that I am giving to you.
And only the goblin's bride will be
able to remove that blade.
And when she does, you'll be able to
return to nothingness and rest in peace.
Your lordship!
There is a place
where I must go.
Who goes there?
How dare you come into
a place like this?
Hey, you insolent
Y-You are
I was too late, it seems.
Grandpa! Grandpa!
Grandpa!
It seems
That this is the first punishment
that I am receiving.
Please accept me.
As of this moment,
I will serve you.
That was my grandfather's final wish.
I became blinded
by my desire for revenge
And couldn't even ask your
grandfather how he'd been.
And yet
You wish to serve me?
It's quite nice to be able to enjoy
a view like this at my leisure.
And I'm happy that you can enjoy
a view like this at your leisure.
Here.
You should have it, your lordship.
I'm still quite full.
How is it that you're full
when you've had nothing to eat?
I'm tiny, so I get full even after
eating the tiniest morsel of food.
You're much bigger than I am, sir,
so please eat that instead.
We can do this, then.
We're still quite
far from land, sir.
Neither of us will be full
if we share this.
So is that why
you're insisting on starving?
I'm a child, so I can go around
to beg for food if I get hungry.
Do you think I brought you with me
just to have you go around begging?
Trust me.
I may be an even greater
person than you imagine.
Come, now.
Wow!
Wow!
Your lordship!
Your lordship!
Can I peek in that bag of yours?
We need to decrease
the weight on this boat, you see.
Your lordship.
Your lordship!
Put that child down now.
If you do, I'll let you keep
your life at the very least.
It's clear there's someone among us who's
at fault for the waves being unruly.
I'll sell you as a slave,
so give me your hands and feet!
And as for this squirt,
throw him overboard.
Do you know what happens to
humans who are lesser than animals?
They meet the god of wrath.
H-H-He's a goblin!
Please, spare us!
It's too late.
It sure is nice to be back
here at my leisure.
Why? Why did you do that?
If there is a god, please
Please, save me.
Please, save me.
Just anybody, please. Save me!
Who are you?
I'm "just anybody."
Please please, help me.
Well, I don't know.
It's my rule not to get involved
in human beings' lives.
I really can't
just die like this.
The one you're asking me
to save isn't you, is it?
Just my child, at least. Please.
You're lucky, though, to have
met a soft-hearted god like me.
It's just that I don't want
to see anyone die tonight.
Snow, and rain, and
Flowers, eh?
- The goblin's bride is back.
- The goblin's bride is back.
What do you want for your
birthday this year, eun tak?
Round rice cakes?
Square rice cakes?
Mom. Can't I have a party now
instead of Korean-style parties?
What's the difference?
Well, a cake instead of
rice cakes, for one.
I want to blow out candles
and make a wish too.
I think the reason why my
wish isn't coming true is because
I've been making my wishes on rice
cakes instead of birthday candles.
Oh, I didn't realize!
I only got you rice cakes
because you like them!
All right, then. Let's throw you
a party with cake from now on.
Wow! You're the best, mom!
Oh, it's a puppy!
Huh? A puppy?
Look at this.
It's spring again.
Isn't that fascinating?
Ah, I'm so tired.
Mom, I got a 100 on
my English quiz today!
I'm super-duper tired because
I used so much brainpower today!
Oh, really?
Wow! It's cake!
Are we going to have
a party now, mom?
Yeah. Come and sit.
Light the candles.
Is it okay for me to light them?
You can do it since you're
all grown up now, eun tak.
Oh yeah.
I'm nine years old now.
I even got a 100 on my English
quiz, so this is a cakewalk.
Where did you learn that saying?
You don't need to know, mom.
I'm just good at picking up these
things from all sorts of people.
I think I might be a genius
What's the matter?
You have to make a wish.
Happy birthday, my little pup!
It's not really you, mom.
It's your spirit that
I'm talking to, isn't it?
So you really can see
everything, can't you?
I was hoping that you
wouldn't be able to.
Are you dead, mom?
Really?
Where are you, mom?
Where are you now?
At sageori hospital.
You'll be getting
a call from the hospital.
And when you get there,
your aunt will arrive soon.
It's cold at night, so make
sure you have a scarf on.
Ask the granny at the supermarket
to go with you too. Okay?
You know how to get to
her place, right?
Go down the alleyway next to
the dry cleaners and then make a right.
Oh, you're so clever,
my little pup!
Don't ever look another spirit
in the eye from now on, okay?
I'm sorry, mom, that I can see spirits.
But it's because I can see spirits
that I can see you now.
I'm okay, mom.
Okay.
Thank you so much
For seeing me like this.
I I think that
I have to go now.
I love you, my little pup.
Me too.
I love you too, mom.
Bye, mom. Goodbye.
You have to go to heaven, okay?
You have to!
Mom!
Mom!
Hello? Is this
Ms. Ji yeon hee's home?
This is sageori jaeil
hospital, and
I know.
I'll head over there.
I'm not going to make a wish.
I'm not going to make
even a single wish.
Nobody ever grants
them for me anyway.
So who would I even
make the wish to?
How is it that you never
seem to grow old, granny?
How could I possibly get
any older than this?
You do have a point.
Can't you check up on my eun tak
every once in a while?
Spouting such nonsense again.
Why would I check up
on your daughter?
Just every once in a while!
Give her some leftover
cabbage if you have any
and some spinach, too.
You should've just died then. Why did you
have to ask them to give you more time?
You're so mean.
You're the one who told me
to plead with them with all my heart.
And you actually believed that?
And thanks to that, I got to live
for a bit longer before I had to go.
Thanks for everything, granny.
I came to say goodbye.
I'm going now.
Who are you, mister?
You can see me?
Oh, my scarf. I didn't put it on.
Mom's going to yell at me.
You have it on already, though.
This is Ms. Ji yeon hee's home, right?
I came here since her spirit
wasn't at the hospital.
But how is a child like you, who wasn't
supposed to have been born
Did you, by any chance,
become nine years old this year?
I can't hear your voice
at all, mister.
What brings you here, ma'am?
Go. And leave this child alone.
Granny!
You're getting in the way of my work.
As if.
Why are you trying to take her now
when it's already been so long?
I'm glad for this chance.
Better late than never.
I have no time right now.
That's your problem.
Do you have this child's
name on your list?
She had no name back then,
but she has a name now.
If you have a certificate with
her name on it, hand it over.
I'll hand her over if you do.
If I'm going to get that, I need to get
nine years' worth of evidence on her.
You, of all people, should know
I'll be seeing you again, child.
Granny! Mom is
I know. And we can't
do anything about that.
But you have to live.
You have to move within three days
if you don't want him to find you.
You've looked a god of death in the
eye, so you can't live here any longer.
He won't be able to
find me if I move?
No, he won't.
That's why land is so important.
After midnight, a man and two women
will come for you at the funeral parlor.
Go with them.
It'll be hard on you,
but you have no other choice.
But why are you telling
me all of this?
Because I've taken a liking to you.
When she was pregnant with you
She was so happy.
Here. A birthday gift.
Excuse me.
Want to get a drink with me?
Sure.
This card worked up until
yesterday, but now it doesn't!
So, um, uncle.
There are some unfriendly
guys in suits at the bar.
I'm, um, with those people right now.
So please, pick up the phone!
They asked for your cell phone number
and got really unfriendly when
I told them that you don't have one.
Uncle. Are you listening?
Uncle! Uncle!
Uncle!
She still eats by herself even
though it's the end of senior year.
If you feel that bad for her,
go and eat with her yourself.
Are you crazy?
Why would I do that?
That girl sees spirits!
I'm more scared of her
than I am of ghosts.
At least you can't see ghosts.
Look. She can hear everything we're
saying, but she's acting as if she can't.
Hey.
Hey, I heard that
you're the goblin's bride.
Come on, I know you can see me.
Come with me.
It's just that I'm so lonely!
Please?
Hey, why do you keep ignoring me?
You evil girl!
Oh, geez!
See? I knew you could see me.
Wait, so it's true?
I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!
What was that? Why did she
apologize all of the sudden?
You didn't even turn on
any of the lights, your lordship.
I was lost in my thoughts.
These are the materials you
requested of me from the nis.
Then
Yes. It's happened, your lordship.
Duk hwa is already 25 years old now.
I've pulled a lot of strings so you can
leave near the end of the month.
If you leave now, your lordship
This will be the last time in
my lifetime I'll see you, correct?
I thank you for every second
that we've shared together.
Duk hwa will be here
when you return, sir.
I've been losing my keys
all the time lately
so I've had the lock
changed to a key less one.
Grandpa! Uncle shin!
There you are, uncle shin.
I begged you to come and pick me up.
But here you are.
Do not interrupt an adults' conversation!
Did you cancel my card?
You canceled my card, didn't you!
Yeah, I canceled it, you brat.
Ugh, I was totally humiliated!
Do you know how tough she was to get to?
Why did you even make me your heir
if you were going to treat me like this?
Uncle shin, are you going somewhere?
- Where are you going?
- I told you to speak with more respect!
Stay out of this, grandpa.
Is it about that thing again?
About you looking for your bride?
Why can't you just say that you're
leaving to get married somewhere?
Why can't you say it!
You're saying this kid will be here
when I return?
Uncle shin, exactly when
and what time are you leaving?
One male and two females!
Your breakfast is ready.
I said, your breakfast is ready.
Shut up, you loudmouth.
Why are you blabbering so much over
the stupid breakfast you cooked?
What's with the seaweed soup?
Is it someone's birthday today?
Are you kidding me? Did she make the soup
because it's her birthday or something?
Yeah, it is.
How can she be proud of having killed her
own mom just to be born on this day?
She's shameless because
she doesn't know any better.
Whatever she learned, she got it from you
since she's been with us for 10 years.
Shut up and eat your food.
Thanks for wishing me a happy birthday.
This is why people say that
you should never take in a stray.
Being too compassionate is my downfall.
I'm the pitiful one here since
I've raised her in her mother's stead.
Your words are a bit harsh.
How is it harsh?
She may be your mom,
but she's my older sister.
Exactly. She and I are closer in
both heart and connection.
- Do you even know what you're saying?
- Shut up and eat your food.
Where are you running off to?
I'm not running off anywhere.
I'm going to school.
You're dead if you touch those umbrellas.
Meet me at the bank
with your bankbook after school.
You know what will happen
if you don't, right?
How many times have I told you
that I don't have a bankbook?
Then where's the bankbook?
Where's your mom's insurance money?
How would I know that?
You took all the money for yourself!
You even took the money from our house!
Why is she talking
so much crap this morning?
Just shut up and bring it
unless you want to get your ass beaten.
The bankbook disappears whenever
I need to go to the bank
and who else could it be but you?
I'm telling you that
the bitch is possessed.
That's right.
There's a ghost right behind you.
What! You crazy bitch!
My lordship.
Will you be traveling alone
this time too?
Yes, it would seem so.
No women I've ever met has been
able to see the sword.
Which is of a great relief to me.
I hope the bride appears quickly for you
when you're in agony over the sword.
But if the sword is seen,
I hope no one finds out about it.
That's just human greed, I guess.
It's a relief for me too.
To still have you by my side,
and a full drink in my hand besides.
For tonight at least,
I'd like to remain alive.
Shall we drink to that?
When I was nine years old,
I told myself that I'd never do this.
But I'm desperate right now,
so I hope you understand.
Please help me find a job,
do something about my relatives
and please help me find a boyfriend!
Please help me find a job,
do something about my relatives
and help me improve my pathetic life.
Even 100 won in my pocket
would be fine! Please.
What in the world am I doing?
Who am I even praying to?
There is no god.
You're seriously not going to
make it rain right now, are you?
It's not even the rainy season!
Will the rain even stop?
Will it ever?
Why do you keep making it rain when
I don't even have an umbrella of my own?
- Was it you?
- Oh my goodness.
Me?
Me?
- Were you talking to me?
- Yeah, you.
Was it you?
- What about me?
- Were you the one who summoned me?
- Me? I didn't summon you.
- You did summon me.
- But just how did you summon me?
- How would I have summoned you?
- I seriously didn't summon you.
- You definitely did summon me.
- Try to remember how you summoned me.
- Desperately?
I didn't summon you.
I'm just able to see you.
Because we accidentally locked eyes
when we passed each other the other day.
You're him, aren't you?
- What do you mean, you can see me?
- You're a ghost, aren't you?
I'm able to see ghosts.
- I'm not a ghost.
- That's what they all say at first.
Who are you?
Why can't you see what you
should see right in front of you?
- What am I supposed to see?
- Your twenties, thirties your future.
Maybe because there is no future for me.
Were you a shaman or something
before you died? Or a con man?
- My future, my butt.
- What? A con, what?
Go to the light.
Wandering around for too long isn't good.
- What's with those flowers?
- I thought you wanted me to leave.
Okay, leave.
They're buckwheat flowers.
But that's not what I'm asking.
Why are you holding those flowers?
Give them to me.
They don't really suit you.
I've never been told that before.
I've seriously never been told that.
You can just give them to me.
It's my birthday today.
A very depressing birthday.
I get nothing but weeds for my birthday.
I got a napa cabbage
for my ninth birthday.
But what is the meaning
of these buckwheat flowers?
Lovers.
Why were you crying?
Job, relatives, or boyfriend?
Which of the three were you crying over?
- How did you know that?
- I heard you.
What do you mean, you heard it?
- I Grant some people their wishes.
- You Grant people their wishes?
Like a magic genie?
Or a guardian angel?
Are you serious?
I knew it.
I knew you were different from other
ghosts from the moment I first saw you.
- Are you really my guardian angel?
- I didn't say I was your guardian angel.
My mom once told me that everyone is born
with their own life dictionary.
And in my dictionary, words such as
"luck" or "fortune" don't exist.
- You know what I mean, right?
- No, I don't.
I'm asking if I can have
about five million.
If getting me the cash is too tough,
then tell me the winning lottery numbers.
Go and say goodbye to your family.
You won't get to see them for a while.
Keep looking for a job at a chicken
restaurant. You'll find something soon.
Hey! What about my boyfriend?
Hello? Hey!
Ugh, what a poor sport!
- I haven't met you before.
- Likewise.
But I have heard rumors.
There are all sorts of rumors about me.
What are you doing in my home?
You live here?
All the furniture you see is included,
so you just need to move in
When did you get home, uncle shin?
- Explain.
- The thing is
This house is going to sit vacant
for like 20 years.
I thought about the money we could make
by charging someone monthly rent
Do you even know what that is?
That thing over there is
Don't refer to our new tenant as "that"!
He owns tea houses.
I'm sorry, I apologize.
My uncle is socially awkward.
- Here's your coffee.
- Thanks.
- He hasn't paid yet.
- I saw the new car out front.
- It's the new tenant's car.
- It's not my car.
And I've already given all my money
To him.
Then I'll give you your money back,
so leave.
I know you'd give me my money back,
but I've already signed the papers.
- I hope that wasn't very important.
- That was just a copy.
The real estate agent has the original
and my stuff will be here tomorrow.
I don't have any plans tomorrow.
If you're done with your coffee, leave.
My hospitality ends here.
Go and pack your bags.
If you're leaving for the next 20 years,
then you should start packing now.
You really want to start with a goblin?
I'm sure you're aware of what it means
to sign a contract with the grim reaper.
How about I take that young boy
instead of this house, then?
Nothing else I can do.
Use one of the many empty rooms.
- Make yourself at home.
- It is my home.
No, it's my house.
If you think you can kick a goblin out of
his own turf, then give it your best try.
This is not the nice dinner
I had envisioned for myself.
It's like a horrible restaurant that
I've only heard rumors about.
My bad.
I was trying to get my soup.
My bad this time.
I was trying to get you.
- "You"?
- I thought we had settled that earlier.
This. That. Hey. You.
Lovers?
Lovers what a joke.
Hello.
Are you the owner?
My name is ji eun tak.
I have a very upbeat
and positive attitude
so I can do any and every type of work
you can ask of me with a smile!
No matter how dirty the job
That was a load of crap
about me finding a job.
A guardian angel?
What a liar.
I should've at least gotten his number.
- See? It was you.
- Oh my goodness.
Why do you keep following me around?
- I didn't follow you. You summoned me.
- No, I didn't.
If I had the power to do that,
I wouldn't be suffering like this.
How would I do that?
By shaking a bell or something?
- Why would you ask me?
- Because you keep arguing with me.
Anyway, are you sure
you're a guardian angel?
What kind of angel
are you, though?
One that's been disgraced?
One that's on probation?
One that's new to the job?
Who are you?
Is the part-time job at the chicken
restaurant you mentioned
actually a job on a chicken farm?
- No, it's not.
- Where is it then?
You gave me high hopes
as if it'd actually happen!
- You really don't know what
- No.
Like I said, I didn't summon you.
It was you! It was!
It definitely was!
I've never had anything like
this happen to me before.
Was it really me?
Really?
If it really was me, then
What am I, exactly?
Oh, I think I know now.
What is it?
Tell me everything that
you can see about me.
You have a school uniform on.
What else?
You're pretty.
I mean, your uniform is.
Is that all?
You don't see anything else about me?
I really must be a fairy
or something, like tinker bell.
Geez, he can't even take a joke?
Oh yeah, his phone number!
Damn it!
In the name of the father, son,
and holy spirit, amen.
Let us pray.
We thank you, oh lord, for
blessing us all so much.
Everything we do is for you, lord,
so please give us strength.
I got it! I figured out
how I can call you!
But still, couldn't you have called
me to a better place than this?
Are you scared?
I heard that Jesus and his
followers were good people.
Stop flattering them. Didn't you say
before that you didn't believe in them?
I came by just in case
they might be here.
Why are you walking away instead of
disappearing with sparks and such?
I can't do that here.
Think of this as being
a kind of a dead zone for me.
And don't follow me.
What are you planning to
do about my wish?
None of the three things
that I wished for were taken care of.
They'll be taken care of soon.
Same goes for your job.
No, not that. I mean the thing
about me getting a boyfriend.
You'll have to try hard
to make that happen too!
You can't just leave things like this!
I know how to summon him now.
I've got it now.
Oh, I didn't think that
this would work.
Why did you do it, then?
Wait!
Did you just latch onto me?
Oh, I can't hold on
much longer! That's hot!
I thought you'd be cold
since you were blue.
Don't you know that blue fire
is the hottest kind of fire?
Why not study if you have
time to fool around like this?
You know, I've always been
at the top of my classes
Oh, whatever.
Can't you just give me money
instead of being a guardian angel
and call it a day?
I have to go because I'm busy.
What's got you so busy?
Well, your outfit is
a bit fancy, yes.
Tomorrow's the death anniversary
of someone that I knew.
So why are you heading
over there today?
Is that person's grave
out in the countryside?
In that place,
today is tomorrow.
When are you coming back?
Tomorrow? The day after that?
There's something
I really want to ask!
Hurry up and ask, then!
I know that this is
a strange question, but
I'd like for you to not
misunderstand and hear me out.
All right, already,
so ask away. What?
When you first showed up,
I thought you may be a god of death.
But you would have taken me away
as soon as you saw me if you were.
And then, I thought that
you may just be a ghost.
But you have a shadow.
So I thought long and hard
about what you might be.
And? What's your conclusion?
What am I?
A goblin.
Are you a goblin, by any chance?
Who are you?
Who are you, really?
It feels a bit awkward
for me to say, but
I'm the goblin's bride.
You know that I can see spirits, right?
I had this on me
Since I was born.
I think it's because of this that ghosts
keep saying that I'm the goblin's bride.
You can see it, right?
Right here.
You can see it, right?
Prove it to me.
You want me to prove that
I'm the goblin's bride?
Yeah.
How do I do that?
Do you want me to fly or something?
Or turn into a broomstick?
Do it.
I'm being really serious right now.
Me too.
Tell me what you see
when you look at me.
Are you trying to get revenge on me?
Tell me, already!
Tell me everything you see!
You're tall.
And?
- Your clothes look expensive.
- And?
You look like you're in
your mid-thirties.
And?
You don't want me to tell you that
you're handsome or something, right?
You needed to have
the answer that I want.
But if that's all you can see,
you're not the goblin's bride.
You'd be of no use
to a goblin like this.
I'm sorry that you see ghosts
but you're not supposed to
be alive anyway, so be thankful.
You've already broken the rules
just by existing as a human being.
What if I don't want to be thankful?
Then you can just die
like you were supposed to.
You're so cruel.
Fine, then.
Let me ask you the same
thing I asked, one more time.
Are you, by any chance, a goblin?
- No.
- You're not?
- I'm not.
- What are you, then?
Who are you to decide whether
you'll be with me or not?
I thought you wanted your life
to change for the better.
I'm just someone who cares just
a little bit about your crappy life.
Tune into reality instead of letting
yourself be consumed by rumors.
Because you're not the goblin's bride.
Wait!
I'm not finished talking
Did you just follow me
through that door?
How did you do that?
I grabbed the doorknob and pushed.
And then I followed you, mister
But what's with this place?
Hey, I just asked you a question.
How did you come through that door?
Oh, is this
provence village in paju?
But still, this doesn't
seem quite right.
What's going on here?
Where is this place?
Canada.
Canada?
Canada
You mean, the place
with the maple leaf?
The one in North America?
Is this really a different country?
Wow. You can do this too?
You apparently can too.
Who are you, really?
If this really is Canada and
you really have the power to do this
I've made up my mind.
- About what?
- I've made up my mind!
So, about what, exactly?
I'll marry you, mister!
Because no matter how I think about it,
I'm pretty sure that you're a goblin.
I love you!
Is this it?
The red café, just for me?
Isn't it an honor to be with me?
Who is she, really?
I'm someone who'll become
your bride in 200 years, mister.
Keep the lights on, no matter what.
I want to see the entire room,
no matter where I'm standing.
Oh, how manly of you.
- Duk hwa.
- Did something bad happen?
Who said that I'd be your bride?
Be careful of a man wearing
a hat! A black hat.
Am I dying now?
I just turned 19, though.
Some people die when they're
nine, and some when they're ten.
That's what death is.
