Episode 13
Magistrate.
What are you doing out here?
I couldn't sleep.
Why are you out here Magistrate?
I couldn't sleep either.
It's understandable for Dol Sae to act like that.
So don't say anything to him about it.
It's surprising that he didn't faint.
I seem to be making life difficult for those around me, in my opinion.
Ending things quickly and leaving would be best, I think.
Well then, I'll be going in now.
Arang,
I don't know why I'm acting like this, but
I'm surprised by the way I'm acting.
Still,
I'm going to think about my current behavior at a later time and do this first
You told me not to like you, but I...
Magistrate!
But I...
Please don't!
am going to like you, Arang.
You... said that you were an honest person.
You said that you would follow your true thoughts and feelings.
No matter what others say..
How is that relevant to us right now?
So you want to know how I truly feel?
I'll tell you without twisting anything.
I... do not have the same feelings as you.
So you shouldn't act like this.
For the last time,
Are those your sincere feelings?
Yes.
So it seems.
I understand how you feel.
Go inside.
♬ Loving and hating each other, why are these common things so difficult?
♬ Must our relationship always have to fade away like this?
♬ That's why my heart aches more and love deranges me.
♬ When I felt like dying, you are smiling before me.
♬ How much must only I be longing for you?
♬ Like this, like this, why can't you understand my heart?
♬ It's grown so large that it won't be filled with the words "I love you."
♬ More than destiny, a love which is destined.
Thank you Magistrate.
"Patrolmen urgently needed" : To maintain the order of the Government office, patrol the street, ....
Shoes for sale.
Aigoo, aigoo, aren't you the Magistrate?
Thank you Magistrate.
What?
Thanks to you, sir, the townspeople's hearts have become much kinder.
By just sharing some supplies?
Shallow indeed.
It is not because of only that incident!
We are thinking maybe we can have some place (means "Magistrate") we can rely on.
There is also the chance that you will open your ears and listen to our grievances if needed, and-
I have spoken useless words.
Give me these.
Yes.
It can't be that he went out last night and didn't come back, could it?
What are you doing? Standing outside someone else's door...
Here.
I went out and bought these the second I opened my eyes this morning.
So come over here.
They fit perfectly.
As expected, I have an eye for such things.
As I have the eyes for beauty.
I couldn't stand seeing you wear those worn out straw shoes with this attire.
How are they?
Do you like them?
Don't be fearful, Arang.
Don't concern yourself with unneccesary things. I know what you're thinking.
I told you that I would send you to heaven.
That's all I'm going to do.
Stand up.
Mm, that's good. All done.
There is some saying that the completion of attire is done by shoes.
We need to dress you this way so that you will go to heaven looking beautiful. Wouldn't you agree?
Tell me of all the things you want to wear, eat, and do before you have to go.
This older brother will make it all happen,
Are you serious?
Yes, just say the word.
For starters make sure we never run out of peaches.
That's nothing.
Give me 3 daily meals properly too. When you skip meals I end up starving.
Alright, what else?
Nothing else.
What? Is it all food related?
Isn't it that even a ghost who has eaten has good color in their face?
Don't worry about that. Let's go see if there's anything new regarding the talisman.

Oh my... I found it. I found it.
I'm sorry I told Dol Sae by mistake.
Forget it.
Nothing can be done about it.
It's all in the past so what can be done about it now?
It's not a talisman that blocks ghosts?
It does blocks ghosts, but
it's not a talisman that simply blocks ghosts.
So it's sole purpose was not to block ghosts.
Since this is so unusual it's hard to believe, but
the real purpose of this talisman is to block the heavens.
And in that process even ghosts are unable to pass through.
Since this is so far fetched it wasn't in any of the reference books.
I really had to go though a lot.
What do you mean by saying that it blocks the heavens?
So, we can say it's creating a "closed space".
Closed space?
Yes, closed space.
What?
What was that?
A spirit.
I'm not sure how many spirits were tangled in it.
As they had been matured for a long time, they can even make some magic too.
What?
So far, this has been sealed, so we couldn't know about that either.
We did not even know about it.
I guess that's why there was the evil spirit in that cave.
Moo Yeong said so.
As it has been sealed, the spirits couldn't go out, so eventually they were tangled with each other.
Yes,
a ghost can't enter or exit.
That's how it would be.
But there weren't any ghosts at Lord Choi's house.
If it's according to what you say, then some ghosts shouldn't have been able to leave.
Then, I guess they were taken care of.
By whom?
By whom...?
By the person who created that closed space.
But, why would a person, not even a ghost, need to make a closed space and sit in there?
Not even the size of a rat poop yet they dare to threaten me?
What should I do to them?
What should I do to get rid of them all at the same time?
Most of all, Hong Ryeon, that wily b**ch wouldn't just sit still and watch.
What should I do?
I need to do something first regardless of the method.
Don't lay a hand on that girl.
If you lay even one hand on her, I won't let you go!
Why would she say something like that?
She's fully aware of what has already happened.
Why would she say not to lay a hand on a girl who is already dead?
Could it be..
Even though no one has seen or had it before,
I believe.
If I can make that mine then
I can live forever.
Command me.
No matter what you want,
I will do it all.
Geo Deol.
Geo Deol are you outside?
She's alive?
I don't know how this happened.
I saw for sure that she was slit by a sword..
I even checked that she wasn't breathing.
I don't know what to make of this.
But the strange thing is that she looked familiar to me.
Where exactly have I seen her before?
Young Lady, I'm telling you that young Master hasn't arrived yet.
It's there.
That's where it was.
Yes. That's where she came from.
That's why those guys were so weird.
What more do I need to find out for you?
It's fine.
There's nothing else for someone like you to find out even if you try to.
Um...
But, while I was passing by the office, I saw Young Master there.
What?
I'm wondering if he has that strange girl in his heart.
He also saved that girl the other day.
Ju Wal being a man also seems to have fallen for that girl too.
Oh, he's been here for over 2 hours already.
He keeps on standing like that.
And he still knows that Arang's not in the room.
Then what is going on here?
Arang is the Magistrate's girl, but the Young Master has selected Arang.
Then, since we are on bad terms with Arang...
we could be out of favor with Young Master.. is it this way?
Well, I'm on bad terms with Dol Soe only, but with Arang, it's not so bad.
You want to live by yourself...
Look, this means that between Young Master Choi and the Magistrate, we, all three of us, can suffer a side blow in their fight!
Oh!
Now he's sitting.
It looks like he'll be waiting here until she arrives.
Then, what should we do? Should we get him some iced apple juice?
To know the truth regarding death
has now become fearful.
There is nothing to be afraid of.
No matter what the truth is, you can just go to Heaven.
I said I would send you there.
Should I write the talisman?
How long will it take?
It will be difficult to do it quickly.
Because the original talisman you gave is really strong.
I don't have time to wait.
You said you're good at keeping watch, right?
Huh?
Yeah.
Your words were right.
Forget about the courtesy or what-not. Let's just climb the wall.
If there is any reason that they had to create the closed space in that house,
Let's find it.
Now that I think about it, there's something suspicious in a corner of that house.
You've thought wrongly, Jade Emperor.
Really?
Yes.
You've thought about it wrongly.
Did you decide already?
Don't you think the time to think about it was very short?
When you allowed me to become a heaven's being, Jade Emperor,
our destiny wasn't the only thing that ended.
Along with basic feelings (joy, anger, sorrow, enjoyment),
anguish and pain, agony and conflict are all nothing here. That was what you said.
Well, anguish and agony are not always bad things.
Yeom Ra always hates this idea, but I think that those are the processes to have the real confidence.
There are quite a lot of things to realize after hitting the bottom.
That's relevant to only mortal human beings.
I am a grim Reaper, a servant of Heaven.
Please tell me what I should do now.
I will do as you order, please let me know the way.
If you are certain,
let's do it.
You need to aim at the heart.
It's valid for one blow, only once.
Just tell me one thing.
You said I'm the only one who can get rid of her.
What is the reason?
That's because you're blood-related to her.
Only the strong will which even cuts off the fate of a blood relationship
can destroy her.

Moo Yeong...
That loathsome bastard.
That...
How should we do it? Should we make a bet?
My words are right.
There's nothing to worry about Moo Yeong.
When Moo Yeon, that girl, was kicked out of here,
he accepted that result without any complaints.
Not only that, before that how was he?
He was the one who personally caught Moo Yeon, who ran away.
Well... that's right.
He said he would catch her,
I'll bet my special hell brazier.
If you use it for grilled peach, it will be quite delicious.
Then what should I bet on it?
What do you want to have?
Wait! You can't have that goat.
Even if you give me that goat, I won't accept it.
Are you really sure that I don't have to keep watch?
That was just a joke. How can you keep watch?
As if you can climb the wall or fly to the roof.
Right... If I could climb on the roof, I would've kept watch for you without missing anything.
Ah... in the past, I climbed on roofs and walls.
I did those even with my eyes closed.
Forget that.
But where did all the ghosts go?
This is why I don't trust ghosts..
If they act like this, I can't fix their grievances. Hmm?
But still, they worked on something, so just fix even half of it.
No thanks.
You, don't get near this weird house.
Over there, stay where you don't stand out.
I told you to go back to the office but you didn't even think about listening.
I'll go when I want to go.
Don't tell me to do this or that.
Anyways, just go over there and don't even move.
Did that child come?
Should we take a look at her face just once?
Moo Yeong...
It's been a long time.
Has it been 400 years?
You look just the same.
I changed a bit didn't I?
To live as a limited human life,
as you can see, I am in this state.
But it's still good.
I'm a human aren't I?
Just to live this way,
is this why you wanted to become a human?
This way?
What's wrong with this way?
Moo Yeon..
Who's fault is this?
When we were in heaven, if you had just helped me,
I could have became a human the right way.
You knew that the Jade Emperor had a way.
There was never a way like that ever since the beginning.
You thought wrong!
Don't joke around. That is why I found my own way!
You, my brother, were the one to mess it all up!
Mother! Mother!
Mother! Father! Mother!
No I don't want to! I'm telling you I don't want to!
Were you happy when you captured me and offered me to the Jade Emperor?
How was it when the Jade Emperor kicked me out of heaven?
You knew I would fade away soon.
Even then you acted like you didn't know.
Instead of you having to suffer in hell,
I thought it would be better that way.
Like this, for 400 years, going from human body to body...
Not even a human..
nor a ghostly existence...I never thought you would live that way!
I didn't dare to think about it.
What's wrong with it?
How great it is.
This is why I stopped you from becoming human.
Humans are destined to desire something.
And when they find what they desire, they end up desiring something bigger!
You are now coveting the biggest desire of human beings.
What?...Eternal Life?
What's wrong about that? You live and don't die.
Because of that you've killed so many innocent people.
I'm not going to do anything, Brother.
So, just put this knife through my heart.
That way...
prove to them (gods) that you are...
the heavenly creature with no doubt.
It's still not the right time to meet you...
but I wanted to see that girl's face so much so I was off my guard for a moment.
As expected, tell them that they've set a good bait.
Older brother..
Let's meet next time then.

What is this?
What is all of this?
Lord, Choi - what can your intentions be?
Young Lady,
Young Master...
What are you doing here?
I went to see you at the office. I waited and was just on my way back.
What are you doing here?
Y...y... you can't stay here. Let's go.
Who's there?
Don't leave my side.
Who's this?
Uh, just someone I know...
Why have you come out this night?
There was someone I needed to meet, so I came out briefly.
As the night goes on, I feel more sensitive.
The things that I didn't know of during the day, I am able to know of in the night
You should go back inside.
Yes, I should.
I am Ju Wal's aunt.
Then I'm going back inside.
Come over to our house sometime.
She looks very stylish.
My... hand...
Young Master, please let go of my hand.
Sorry.
Since my aunt suddenly came to visit....
Then I'm going to go now. Go safely.
Ok.
What were you doing?
Oh... no...
What's that?
Oh, I don't know.
Anyway, let's go.
Why did you bring that child here?
Did you finally make up your mind?
She's much better than I thought.
Now that I've seen her,
I can't help but think how I want to get out of this old body and unite sooner.
I will definately have that girl.
There's a lot of other people that can replace you.
You know your father is living well right now.
My Lady..
The reason why I gave you a chance was because you were different from other children.
Give me money, give me power, give me honor...
give me revenge.
I didn't know that humans have so many various desires like that.
But then you wanted something different.
You just wanted to live like a person.
That's right. I asked what is it like to live as a person, right?
Living in a warm house, eating a hot meal and living without being ignored, was what you said.
And... a mother. It was easy compared to others' ambition.
So, due to a pitiful heart, I gave you a chance.
Didn't I let you call me Mother, which was never allowed to anyone else?
I've done that for you, and now you're asking me for the most difficult thing?
What an ungrateful person you are! How dare you covet what is mine!??
Segments and subtitles brought to you by Marang Team @ viki.com
You're right - it's incredibly cold.
Whatever it is - I can't describe it.
But it leaves a bad feeling.
The lid won't even open.
What could possibly be in there?
We'll have to go to the Shaman.
Would the Shaman even know something?
She's a shaman who can't even see ghosts.
She thought she could hear them but then she could only hear my voice.
Then I will be going.
Arang.
Huh?
The fact that you don't like me, I can handle.
But your noticing others is hard to watch.
♬ Wind...please tell her in passing,
♬ That I am right behind her.
♬ Clouds...please tell her through the captured rain
♬ That I am right beside her.
♬ Time...even if fate covers your eyes,
♬ Please protect the love deep in her heart.
I will try again.
Don't.
This time...
Don't!
Jade Emperor!
Yeom Ra... it will last long this time.
It's not just a simple disappointment.
Kim Eun Oh... He had things belonging to you.
What is he?
Is he someone prepared to replace me?
Yes.
To capture Moo Yeon, you said that it requires your symbol and blood relations.
What is Kim Eun Oh's blood-relation to this?
The body that Moo Yeon is using; is that his mother?
You're going to see the Shaman, aren't you? Let's go together.
Never mind.
You stay here.
I mean, I'm not even a potter, why do I have to find out the type of pot this is?
This is not an ordinary jar.
Feel it.
Doesn't it give you some kind of ominous feelings?
My Lord, are you bragging in front of me?
Huh?
Yes, yes, I can't feel a thing.
It must be so nice that you can see, talk and feel them.
With those talents, why are you a Magistrate?
Instead, you can sit HERE!
Ffff.... forgive me. I must have lost my mind for a second.
Oh, never mind, as long as you realized it.
It's because I can only do this much that I'm relying on you.
You said you learned the spiritual power by reading books, so there is nothing you don't know about.
But... that is...
Do whatever you can to find out quickly.
There's not a lot of time.
But why did you come alone today?
What about Arang?
Miss Arang!
Have you been well since last night?
Have something to drink.
What's that?
With the famous apples from our Miryang Ice Valley, we made some juice.
This tonic is good for many things like your skin and constipation, especially your skin.
Then?
Drink it.
Did you put drugs in here?
Even if you did, it's no use.
How does it taste?
I can taste apples.
Huh? Of course.
Have you decided already?
Huh?
What I'm saying is between the Magistrate and the Young Master...
What's with her?
Is she possessed with sickle ghosts? Why does she keep cutting off everything we say?
Dol Soe!
Dol Soe.
What's this?!?... Ma'am...
What? What is it?
Dol Soe, I'm sorry.
I know you're really angry, but don't be like that to the Magistrate.
The Magistrate values you the most. If you do this, it upsets him.
He values me? While he's bewitched by a ghost he can't see clearly.
That's not it. I just asked a favor from him.
He's just solving it for me.
That's why he's bewitched.
That man has completely changed.
My Young Master wasn't like that before.
He's not the type to listen to someone who asks for a favor easily.
My Young Master doesn't even take this much interest of other people.
But he's become like this. Just look at it, the moment I woke up where is he?
But Dol Soe, I will soon be returning to heaven.
So bear with for a while. I will be returning your Young Master to you soon.
Please speak.
Arang...
You don't know who Arang is, right?
How would I know that?
There's no reason to know.
She's the young lady that you tried to protect with all your might before.
Huh?
You remember, right? The last magistrate's daughter, Lee Seo Rim.
You even protected her even if you were beaten up by Lord Choi's men.
What do you mean?
I mean, we even finished up with her funeral.
How can a ghost...
No... a human . . Not a ghost nor a human.
She came back as a human because she has something left to do.
That's why I am helping her.
Dol Soe.
Yes.
You know it, right? That I only know no one else but myself.
Earlier, you babbled about that so easily.
Well, I've always babbled about that frankly.
But how would I know how you feel inside?
To a person like me, who is obviously from a lower class, being called "lowly" one isn't that hurting.
But, you, Young Master, are neither this nor that.... Ah, well, forget it. Anyway, that's how I feel.
That's right. But just like you said, I have changed.
I am not bewitched by a ghost nor am I sick.
For the first time, I am worried about someone else other than myself.
I have felt something these days...
Dol Soe, you... are a hundred times better than me.
Why? What do you mean?
Like you said before, you who protected Lee Seo Rim, who've never seen daylight, and
me who've just started learning about these feelings started out on a different level.
What are do you mean by that?
Honestly, a magistrate should be someone like you.
How could you say things like that?
No matter how ruined the nation is, how could a person like me be a magistrate?
Just because someone had another as a father, just because he was born as a nobleman,
and in truth, that's the only thing he has; instead of someone like that...
Someone who knows how to treat others well should be one.
People like that should be a magistrate.
Don't talk so long about things I don't understand...
Whatever the case is, I understand how you feel.
To that lady... yes, to Lady Arang, I won't behave rudely any more, so don't worry.
I will be going.
Even if he's bewitched isn't he falling way too much?
What's that about Magistrate Dol Soe?
How the Young Master's first love became a ghost...
The first love is a really crazy thing to a man...
But what is it about seeing ghosts?
Since when did he become like that?
Does his father know?
Then the rumors when he was young were true?
Pardon?
Why are you asking about Lord Choi's background? Pardon?
Why are you asking about Lord Choi's background?
I would want to get along well.
Before that I would need to know some things.
That's great.
Meanwhile, we were jammed between you and Lord Choi, so...
This talk is getting long.
Lord Choi wasn't originally from Miryang, right?
Yes, he was originally from Hanyang.
Has it been 20 years since he came to Miryang...
It should be about 25 years now.
But even when he was in Hanyang he kept going back and forth.
A few years ago, he came back here for good.
Now that I think about it, that house's site is really good (in terms of feng shui).
Previously, wasn't Lord Kim quite well off too?
And even before that Lord Park too.
Ah, speaking of that, the real power of Miryang kept coming out of that house.
I heard that Lord Choi was really powerful when he was in the high position in the Court.
He got rid of those many political rivals,
and many of them weren't really powerful either.
But the one who at the end removed Lord Choi from his position
and sent him back to this town was your father, Magistrate.
What?
Didn't you know?
I thought you knew that's why you went there fearlessly.
That's why Lord Choi also couldn't do anything to you.
Frankly speaking, you're an Eol Ja... (an illegitimate son from a slave woman)
Hmm... hmm...
Well.. that's why we are also wielded by you, Magistrate.
But if it was the old Lord Choi he wouldn't have backed off easily.
They say that no one can beat the time.
It seems that he has less strength at some point in time.
As you ordered, I investigated the whereabouts of that old seamstress of the Office.
Would you be able to find her?
Yes.
I heard that after finishing the funeral of the Magistrate Lee's daugther, she moved to her daughter's house in Jinju.
Really?
Find her immediately and bring her here.
Pardon?
Don't scare her, and make sure to bring her here.
If what I'm thinking is right,
First, I'll handle Ju Wal
The next would be that arrogant Magistrate.
Young Master, I'm bringing in lunch.
Lately, you haven't been eating much.
So I placed more of this and that.
Please don't skip the meal.
You weren't in the past but you're always like that lately.
You asked how is it to live like a person?
In a warm house, eating a hot meal...
and not being ignored, I said that's what it would be like.
If I want to help the Magistrate,
it's not the time to be sitting blankly like this.
Then could father
know about Lord Choi in detail?
Magistrate!
I will go to the front of that old man's house.
However I think about it, it's strange.
Why all those ghosts on stakeout are doing nothing and staying low.
I'll be back.
I'll go.
No, I'm going.
I will go.
It's my business so I'll go.
I said I will be the one to go.
Then let's go together.
Listen to me!
Why have you been avoiding me all day long?
Why don't you even look me in the eye all day long??
All day long, why...
It's because I don't know.
It's because I don't know what I should do. That's right, I don't know!
I promised I would let you go peacefully,
but honestly it isn't easy.
I finally supressed it all, but you,
you were looking at him.
Looking at that,
the feelings that I had pushed aside come up in a fury.
My insides begain to stir and I couldn't get a hold of myself
So...
I regret what I did that night.
I should have insisted even when you said it can't be.
I shouldn't have believed you easily when you said you didn't feel the same way.
Even if you said it was what you honestly feel
I should have ignored it.
I should have convinced you.
But then...
I can't do that.
I promised that I would send you to heaven peacefully, but...
how I can now change anything without looking like a fool?
That's why I did it. Because I don't know what to do.
Why is it so complicated?!
Lady.
Young Master.
Did you get home safely the other night?
I came back safely.
I'm sorry,
for making you travel alone in the dark.
What brings you here?
Could you please give me some of your time?
Just a while will do.
I can't allow that.
Magistrate.
I had something to do with the Lady...
Didn't you hear?
I said I can't allow that.
Since I can't allow that,
get lost!
-Let's go. -I will go and you will stay here.
What are you planning to do?
I will do it this way.
If I want to grab and hold you I will.
Can I really live differently?
This can't be.
How could that Magistrate...
When are you going to settle things with Ju Wal and the Magistrate?
Soon. As I found out what she wants, you can back off now.
Why the sudden...
Now.... I know, what I have to do.
No!
Take the shaman and go!
Magistrate!
Leave quickly!
