It's a harmless weed.
It's a rare plant here.
It has no scent.
It's the village where the spirits meditate and repent their sins.
If you take a boat from here, we can reach the Pool of Reflection.
Anyway, where is the village?
The spirits vanish if they don't smell the scent.
What's wrong?
Wake up!
Yi Gwak...
I want to wear this and die.
Since I prepared this to wear for you.
I don't want to die.
I want to live.
Promise me
that you won't change.
Like the time when you first saw me,
protect people with your abilities.
I won't leave you alone.
I promise.
I promise that I will never forget you.
How long are you going to use him?
Don't fool yourself.
I was with Yi Gwak, not you.
You're nothing but a shell of his memories.
Hyo.
Stop it.
I don't want to fight you.
But Yi Gwak...
If you get in my way again,
I will kill you.
Are you hurt anywhere?
What's wrong?
Death is a sad thing to the living, isn't it?
Since they can't see their loved ones again.
But they only suffer pain by living in their memories.
If their fate is still intact,
they're supposed to meet again in reincarnation.
So what I mean is...
Let's change the subject.
We have to go now.
Wait a second.
Hey, out of check.
Is this also a necessary stage through Midheaven?
I like it.
Thank you.
It looks delicious.
My son is very loyal to me.
Since I like fried food,
he sends me a lot of it every memorial service day.
Try it, young man.
Thank you.
Ma'am, this has no taste at all.
This is delicious. Can I have one more?
Do you also want one more?
What is all this?
This is all forbidden in Midheaven.
I'm sorry but you don't have to put on a scary face like that.
If you don't erase your memories, you can't take on a new life.
Are you referring to me?
I saw her.
She's why you're protecting me while risking your life, right?
But I'm not her.
What you're seeing in me is just your memories.
Yes, you remind me of Yon-hwa!
I wish that you'd see me like you did before...
and say my name lovingly like you used to.
That's what I wish.
What's wrong with that?
You said that what the heart feels is everything here.
This is what my heart feels.
It's none of your business anyway.
It is my business.
Do you know how hard it is to bear your looking at me like that?
Hey, kids! Get out of the way!
It's a wedding march.
Hey, what are you two doing there?
Oh my, So-hwa!
Changbushin!
I'm very sorry.
I'm only a musician, and I can't be of any help to you.
But they don't know this place,
since it's considered to be nonexistent.
We have to reach the Pool of Reflection by the full moon,
but we got lost on this Hidden Sanctuary.
Oh, I'm so sorry, So-hwa.
Actually, I built this street.
But everything will be cleared in the morning.
Since the full moon is in two days,
you can arrive at the Pool of Reflection
by tomorrow afternoon.
Watch out!
So-hwa...
Why do they refuse to give up their memories?
It's nothing but pain.
It's not pain.
Since it's life itself to human beings.
Whether they're happy or sad,
delighted, or hurt,
or even good or bad,
their emotions that feel the memories are innocent.
That's love.
That's why there is hope in this world.
They seek a better world.
But isn't it dangerous to put the world in their hands?
So-hwa, we were humans once.
You also must have felt love,
pain, joy, and sadness.
All that we can do is to protect their innocence.
Frankly speaking, that's why I built this street.
To let them enjoy themselves until they're reincarnated.
This couple asks that you officiate their wedding.
What?
But I...
It would be a great blessing to this couple.
I wish with the power of the Consoling Tree,
that your love lasts forever.
There was a plague in the village.
I saw a spirit that couldn't leave,
since he was worried about his mother.
I told that to Yon-hwa,
and she told his mother.
The spirit finally left this world
and his mother was consoled,
but they said that Yon-hwa called the ghosts to the village.
While she was dying,
I couldn't do anything.
It was all my fault.
Will you do me a favor?
If I die,
and am reborn as a human,
please let me meet Yon-hwa again.
You have to stay here.
As a Chuneen, I will handle things from now on.
Since you're human, you cannot follow me anymore.
Changbushin! Changbushin!
Take it easy. What happened?
What's the matter?
Come on! Hurry!
What's going on?
This is absolutely crazy!
So-hwa went to fight them alone!
How did they know that we were here?
Hey, where are you going?
Get out of here now!
That was fun.
Does a Chuneen have that kind of power?
Don't go, Yi Gwak.
Get out of my way, Hyo.
If you don't go, everything will be over.
We can be together again.
Do you love that Chuneen?
I wanted to stand before you not as a comrade,
but as a woman.
But you never once looked at me like that.
If this is what you want,
I'll do whatever you want.
Go to the Pool of Reflection now!
I won't just watch any longer.
Chuyongdae
had the power to change the world.
But you didn't know how to use that power.
You destroyed everything!
The power of Chuyongdae
should be used to protect the world, not to change it.
And so I am forced to stop all of you.
Shut up!
You chose this.
I'll show you the end of this.
Don't change.
Yi Gwak!
Like her,
I wanted to keep you in my heart.
And I thought it would make me happy.
Yi Gwak.
The 'Yin' energy has already spread over his body.
It's too late.
No, I won't let him die like that.
It was my fault.
I made him that way.
I just tried to...
Life and death relies on the laws of the heavens.
If you give him the holy energy, he could come back to life.
But you must violate the laws of heaven.
If you do, you will experience billions of years of suffering,
and return to the human world.
Yon-hwa.
It is you, right?
Yon-hwa.
Forgive me for having let you leave me.
I tried my best to keep my promise to you.
So-hwa, the full moon.
Is this the reward for my belief in you?
Yi Gwak.
I believed that you would understand me,
but you're also a pathetic human.
Love is nothing but an illusion.
Contempt. Greed. Hatred.
Humans make the world more and more painful.
Reincarnation doesn't change people.
Sir.
Everything must start over again.
And I abandoned everything to complete my power.
But you betrayed me and your brothers
to protect a hopeless love in your memories.
What changes the world is the love for people and the world.
What you have always sought back then and even now,
was simply revenge against the world.
We must leave now.
So-hwa!
The Holy Stone will never be taken!
Look very carefully, Yi Gwak.
Love can't change the world.
Don't resist.
Nothing will change. Only the pain will get worse.
The Pool has already changed.
The Holy Stone in your body is opening the way to the Living World.
So-hwa!
Yi Gwak!
Hold on.
I will come to you.
The Jajak Sword
leads the spirit to the path to Heaven.
I'll do just that for you.
To give up your life for love
is the easiest way.
Yi Gwak!
Are you going to abandon the power of the Pool?
You accepted the Holy Stone.
If you throw your body into the water,
you will vanish.
Can you do that for a pitiful human being?
Yes, I can.
Because I love him.
Yi Gwak!
I can smell it now.
Your hand is so warm.
Will we meet again?
I will remember you forever.
