(Episode 13)
As expected,
it looks like I'm the worst memory.
To you...
and to Kim Shin, both.
You can hear me, can't you?
I hear yours, too.
I hear it very clearly.
Warrior Kim Shin...
greets you, Your Majesty.
I see you again...
after 900 years, Your Majesty.
I do not know what veiled my eyes.
Whether it's the passing of 900 years...
or the hatred of the almighty.
I had you close to me, but I did not recognize you.
You were...
Wang Yeo.
Am I...
really he?
Am I...
Wang Yeo?
That young and foolish face.
Was that...
I?
Wars were always a place of torment.
We always returned from there.
Our enemies could not kill us.
However, my men,
my young sister,
and my innocent relatives and servants...
were slashed and shot with arrows before my eyes,
because of a royal decree.
Because of words the young and foolish king uttered.
You are saying...
I am he, right?
You're saying...
I am really Wang Yeo, right?
I remember every second of that torment every single day.
However, you must be comfortable...
since you do not remember.
Even after 900 years...
Did the deity say he would take your side?
The deity is still on your side.
What on earth...
did I do?
What memories did you take from me?
What choice did I make?
How much...
of a coward was I?
What happened?
Did you see Park Joong Won?
I met both him and Wang Yeo.
Pack a small bag. We're leaving.
- Where to? - To Chairman Yu's house.
Okay. Give me 10 minutes.
Eun Tak.
Why won't you ask anything?
Did you know?
That he was Wang Yeo?
It's something a ghost had told me.
I doubted his intention...
and thought it was wrong to tell you.
Whether I tell you or not, I thought that...
if you're meant to miss him, you will,
and if you're meant to meet,
you would one day.
I'm sorry.
Go and pack.
We'll stay for a while.
Give the staff some time off.
Okay. Why do you need to stay here?
We'll each take a room on the second floor.
Don't worry about us.
Okay. Why do you need to stay here?
I'll stay at my boss' place.
I'm worried about her.
She won't have a clue what's going on.
Okay, then.
You do that. If something happens...
I know. Get some rest.
Deok Hwa will give me a lift.
I will?
What's going on? Why did you move out?
Did the two guys fight?
Even if they did,
he could've kicked the Grim Reaper out.
Maybe he's being considerate.
The Grim Reaper has nowhere to go.
Now I feel sorry for him.
The phone is off. You're being switched to voicemail.
Please leave a message after the tone.
Even in this life,
you are...
protecting that fool.
Where is...
my brother?
He left home.
With me.
Then what about him?
He'll be at home, I think.
He's still alive, then.
I doubt he was ever alive to begin with.
Right.
By the way,
about your remembering your previous life...
How did it happen?
It was sexy.
What?
We should have a drink.
Soju or beer?
Eun Tak.
You said humans have four lives.
I thought about it.
I think this is my fourth.
Why?
I know of at least two lives.
I met my brother this time around...
and I even met my lover.
What about you?
I would like it if this were...
my first life.
Why?
So you could meet my brother...
in your 2nd, 3rd, and 4th life?
You should've seen how stubborn he was in Goryeo.
Why did he come back knowing that he'd die?
He should've run away and lived.
It's not fair for us...
to split the bill evenly.
I pay four dollars extra a month since she moved in below me.
She had to move out of her apartment.
I felt sorry for her.
What about me, then?
I scraped the money together...
to get a place of my own.
I guess...
whether it's their 1st or the 4th,
they're both equally precious, right?
What do you mean?
The pipes are frozen.
I don't have running water.
So why should I pay for the extra tenant?
I know.
Fate can be such a sad thing.
Will they end up...
paying a hefty price?
I really shouldn't do this.
What is your name?
Pay me in cash. I don't take credit cards.
Notify me of your death,
and I shall notify you of my sorrow.
I do not...
want you to die.
They didn't come to your graduation.
They came to see someone who would be here.
The grim reaper from Janghang-dong...
It's just a rumor,
but apparently a spirit deceived him...
and he grabbed hold of the hand of a dying person.
I was wondering if that person...
is the soul you missed last time.
Are you listening?
Sir.
Yes.
What?
Has something been bothering you?
What about the missing soul?
There you are.
The look of your face...
tells me you've done it.
You've held that hand.
So what did you see?
Which sins were in there?
I wasn't in there.
Only she was in there.
She was a queen...
sometime in the past.
Was I in there?
Did you see the hands that handed her the decoction?
The hands as thin and pale as yours perhaps.
Do you know what was in that decoction?
My sin is your sin.
No.
That's impossible.
You are the one that handed her the decoction.
How pitiful are you?
Having lost all the memories,
you can't even recognize yourself.
No.
That can't be true.
Do not worry.
I will keep your secrets.
If they find out that you've used your ability for...
personal reasons, you will be in trouble.
Therefore, let's keep both...
your sins and my sins...
as secrets.
You were Kim Sun after all.
You will die in my hands in this life as well.
The missing soul.
You and I have met before.
I felt this 20 years ago, too.
You are a demon.
You thrive by taking away...
people's dark thoughts and dark energies.
I simply took sides with...
their dark desires.
Thief! Help me!
Did I cover their eyes?
Is that why you pushed me from the rooftop that day?
Or did they close their eyes?
Stop talking nonsense.
What is your name?
Stop wasting your energy.
Even if you know my name, you won't be able to do anything.
That's why I have been living for 900 years.
Don't be stupid.
Give me your name.
Do you even know your own name?
Do you want to know?
You are still holding something lowly.
You've clenched it in your hand because it's so precious,
but it's bound to die in this life, too.
Does he...
know me?
I thought you'd laugh.
I shouldn't laugh.
(Grim Reaper)
Hello?
Deok Hwa, it's me.
Hello?
It looks like this.
So the king bestowed...
this sword to him.
You're not asking any question.
And that means you're siding with the goblin.
I am sorry,
but can you...
side with me just once?
What is it?
Can you...
give this to Sunny?
I think I shouldn't even have...
this excuse.
I will do that.
She won't remember me.
Please make something up about the ring.
I'll get going.
I think...
she remembers you.
Are you still waiting for the king?
I can't wait for him anymore.
Why not?
Is it because you remember your past?
The woman who loved the king was...
the sister of a traitor.
That's why I died in his hands.
I keep getting confused.
Whether the person who felt the paint of heart...
getting torn apart was me...
or me in the past.
Do you think he was sad, too?
I only saw his back.
I was told to only keep the happy memories,
and I must've been happy even in that moment...
since I remember it all.
What about him?
Have you met him?
It's all in the past.
It's way in the past. It was a lifetime ago.
It's the previous life for you,
but it's still the present for me.
I'm still living that life.
I have nowhere to go back to...
so I can only move forward.
And that man killed you.
It wasn't me whom he killed. He killed Kim Sun.
I'm Sunny. My life...
is this current one.
But if you're going to move forward...
Even after a lifetime,
my answer will be the same as before.
You should go.
If I take my steps towards him this time,
what I will be giving him...
won't be forgiveness.
Don't worry about me.
In this life, I will really...
be happy, Brother.
With this sword stuck in his heart,
he lived...
for 900 years.
We're the internal audit team.
Take a seat.
In your time of working as a grim reaper,
it's been confirmed that you've used your powers for personal reasons.
Erasing the memory from a human,
disclosing of the List of Names,
not taking appropriate measures when your identity was revealed,
showing the previous life t o a human, and so on...
You two had a fight. You didn't see anything.
Say that you have to leave early.
I have to leave early.
Would you please look into my eyes?
I'm sorry, but please look into my eyes.
I got the missing soul's name.
The name card is here.
Missing Soul.
There's something I didn't tell you. About her past...
- You said it's a secret. - I think she's...
the reincarnation of your sister.
I am a grim reaper.
Do you concede?
- I do. - The person in question concedes.
We will hence impose severe disciplinary action.
Acknowledge the gravity of this matter.
I will gladly accept my punishment.
You won't be glad at all.
Grim reapers are composed of souls who've sinned greatly.
After 200 years of torment,
they've decided to erase their own memory.
Therefore, you are to confront your sins once again.
That is the proper punishment for such violation of discipline.
By exterminating the roots of treason,
you have demonstrated your power, Your Majesty.
You have brought order out of the chaos.
The streets ring with praises of you.
Out of fear for your troubled mind,
I had them serve a decoction.
Its fragrance is aromatic and its sweetness and acerbic taste...
will enhance your appetite.
The majesty's body and mind have fallen ill.
It's worrying the whole nation.
Starting today, reduce the quantity of the royal meal...
and serve him a decoction.
It may be bitter, but please drink.
Clarify your body and soul, and remain strong.
Is that strong enough for you?
I thought you might look for it one day.
To whom should I give...
this royal garment to?
To whose finger...
should I put this beautiful ring on?
To whom should I give...
this royal garment to?
To whose finger...
should I put this beautiful ring on?
That beautiful ring...
Give it to me.
That beautiful ring...
Give it to me.
It'll come to good use someday in the future.
Do you want it?
Fine.
Then I'll give it to you.
Take it.
This royal garment...
is without an owner.
Maybe this is...
what you're looking for.
If so,
take it.
Your Majesty. Your decoction...
My people,
my servants,
my love,
even I,
not a single person,
loved me.
Thus,
I did not receive love...
from anyone.
Bring me more decoction.
I know what is in it.
What?
Let me finish it tonight.
Bring me...
more decoction.
It is my royal decree.
You have received 600 years of torment...
for the sins committed during your life,
among which is the greatest sin,
taking your own life.
Thus,
your assignment has been terminated.
Stand by until you receive further instructions.
I was...
Wang Yeo.
I...
killed all of those people.
I killed myself.
What do you all think?
What must I do?
What must I do with him?
Don't touch that again.
You have no right to cry while looking at this.
I...
gave you...
the sword.
I killed you.
I killed everyone.
I... I remember.
I...
was Wang Yeo.
That's right.
I told you it was you. You killed them all.
You killed and killed...
and even killed yourself.
You...
couldn't protect your woman, your loyal subjects, your Goryeo,
or even yourself. You couldn't protect a single thing.
Sun...
My young sister...
protected you with her life.
You should've lived. You should've stayed alive...
and died by my sword.
You should have proven with your death...
that I was a traitor, as you claimed.
I'm sure my sister knew...
that once Park Joong Won said, "Kim Shin",
that "Kim Sun" would be next.
That she'd be used to pressure you.
That's why that idiot...
died there as the sister of a traitor,
rather than become your weakness.
To save you.
That ring.
I was a jerk...
and forced that ring...
onto her finger.
That ring...
I gave it to her again in this life.
Please,
I want you...
to kill me.
Is that what you want?
You'll abandon yourself again?
The sin of killing you...
was committed already by you. That's enough.
I thought about it over and over,
whether or not I should give this to you.
So I held onto it for a few days.
I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry?
I'm the one who's sorry.
You don't want to ask me anything?
Why bother? It's obvious.
Although...
I didn't know I'd get this back like this.
Someone's sorrow, sins,
and longing belonged to me.
That shaman was good.
But...
- what was your sin? - Sorry?
I heard you're the goblin's bride.
Sure, he and I knew each other in our past lives.
Why are you tied to him?
Because it was our destiny.
Do you do strange things, too?
Do you fly like a bird?
I don't do that.
Bringing extinction...
to the eternal life of the goblin...
That is the destiny of the goblin's bride.
If you pull out that sword,
he'll return to ashes and scatter in the wind.
He'll vanish forever...
from this world to another.
Eun Tak?
Well, yes. I...
can make it rain less,
so it doesn't inconvenience people.
I can also make the first snowfall come sooner,
so that people can be excited.
You do the most important work.
But...
why did my brother become a goblin?
Because the world needs miracles.
Strange and beautiful miracles.
Says who?
Says me.
Fine. What about the Grim Reaper?
Because everyone dies?
Because there is death,
life is brilliant.
You're so good with your words.
You speak like a student at a top university.
It has been a while,
sister of the lowly warrior,
a queen born from a warrior's family.
What is it? Do you see something?
Stay out of it.
It's not your turn yet.
I will come for you after I get her.
Don't come closer.
Get the lighter from my coat pocket. Hurry.
Lighter?
What for?
Yeo was like a son to me.
She ruined everything.
I will kill her.
Lighter! Now!
Okay.
You witch!
Eun Tak, what's wrong?
What just happened?
Wake up. Eun Tak.
Are you okay? Can you walk?
Yes, I'm okay.
Did I scare you?
Of course, you did.
Whom were you talking to earlier?
What was that green light? You said you're human.
Are you something like a human...
that isn't exactly human?
It's a first for me, too.
Go on inside.
I'll join you after a short chat with your brother.
Did he say he'll come by?
If I call him, he has no choice but to.
How are you?
I missed you.
Me, too.
Have you been well?
Yes.
I'm sorry. I'll come for you soon.
The mark on your neck...
What about it?
It's almost gone.
Is it?
I wonder why.
If it's that faint,
it means you were in grave danger.
I might not be able to sense you.
Don't worry.
I'll be more cautious and careful.
Did you see Park Joong Won again?
I did but...
I wasn't his target.
Your sister was.
Don't worry about that.
Worry about yourself.
Someone else will protect her.
Just two more days.
Fate is the question I throw. You...
can find the answer.
We were given a question.
The Grim Reaper and I have to find the answer.
(Missing Soul)
(Park Joong Won)
(He died in the year 1097.)
(He has since evaded the Grim Reaper.)
(I met him again by chance in 1997...)
(but he got away from me yet again.)
What is it?
The papers for the missing soul I told you about...
The one who got away 20 years ago?
Yes, but I got suspended and can't file it myself.
I need your help...
so listen to me carefully.
- I'm listening. - He's been around for 900 years.
He managed to live off...
humans' dark emotions.
Even if one of us sees him, we can't take him down.
I think that if we get him on the list,
then at least we can control him.
It's urgent. File it as soon as possible.
- Tomorrow noon is... - I'll do it...
by midnight.
Thanks.
I have something to tell you.
I think you should know.
I took over your jurisdiction.
I got a card for Ji Eun Tak.
Isn't she the goblin's bride?
I saw the date and...
Don't speak of it.
Hands off.
I read it. You did not.
She has a week.
It's not your turn yet.
I will come for you after I get her.
That means...
he will come after me.
I got...
Eun Tak's card again.
- I think... - Park Joong Won's involved.
- On March 2017... - That date means nothing now.
You must know that.
But still.
I thought you should know.
Park Joong Won...
is bothering my sister.
Protect her.
Even if it's just once, protect her...
like she had protected you.
That day.
The king was too far away.
I couldn't get to him.
I knew I'd never get close.
I knew it but all I knew to do was to keep going.
That day,
why did you keep going?
You knew...
you would die then and there.
I wanted to say what I hadn't been able to.
Since you gave me the sword,
I requested your audience numerous times.
But you, my king and brother-in-law,
only instructed me to fight at yet another border.
Only when you were sure I would die...
did you show your face.
What...
did you want...
so badly to say?
The previous king said...
Tell him I looked out for him...
by ignoring him.
He looked out for you by ignoring you.
The previous king, your half-brother...
Your wife, my younger sister...
I, your faithful general...
We all loved you.
I was going to request you give me an order.
"I give you this sword out of worry and caution."
"Behead Park Joong Won."
That was it.
I had no idea...
that sword would end up in my chest.
How could this be?
You, I, or the 900 years.
You will not be able to hurt me with that sword of yours.
I came this far...
and yet I must use this sword again.
What is it?
Is it...
hurting again?
That was what this sword...
was meant to do.
To strike Park Joong Won.
Are you good at memorizing numbers?
One should always seal it with a kiss.
What's wrong with you?
You need to look pretty. Stop crying.
Feel free to look.
Why do you keep following me?
It's been days already. Are you stalking me?
No, I'm not.
Our paths happen to overlap.
Thanks to you, it felt like I was on a date...
with you, Kim Woo Bin.
But why...
How do you remember?
Because you made a mistake when you hypnotized me.
Forget...
all the sad and hard moments.
Whether they were in your past life or present...
And...
forget about me.
I hope that you at least have a happy ending.
You said to remember only my happy moments,
but you said to forget you. That's a contradiction.
Every moment that you were in,
even all the sadness and hardship,
all of it made me happy.
So...
did my giving up my life to protect you...
give you a happy ending?
Seeing how young you look,
you didn't live very long, did you?
Every day,
my heart broke...
from missing you.
Then why did you...
Because I was a fool.
You should've realized that sooner.
But why did I...
fall for you again even in this life?
Is it because you're so handsome?
Here.
Let's really break up this time.
I don't want to fall for you in this life.
This is the only punishment...
I can give you.
Goodbye, Your Majesty.
- Give it back! - Where did you get these cookies?
- Did you steal them? - I did not!
My grandma bought them for me!
Did she beg for them?
Don't say that about my grandma! Wind bomb!
He's at it again.
Hey. That's not how you do the wind bomb.
This is how you do it. Wind bomb!
Wind bomb!
Why you punks.
Wind bomb!
- What the... - Did he really do it?
Are you okay?
How did you know?
You said before that I'd really do the wind bomb.
I really did the wind bomb.
When I was around your age, I said...
I'd become the goblin's bride when I grew up, and I did.
But it's a secret.
Wind bombs are very dangerous, so don't go around using them anywhere.
Okay?
I'll tell only my grandma.
You were kind of cool.
- Then let's take a trip. - Gosh.
- Why? - My heart just skipped a beat.
That's good. You said you like that.
You seem to be in a good mood.
Let's do it. Let's take a trip and stuff.
Look here.
This is nice.
I have a gift for you.
I have plenty.
Everything is more than perfect already.
I doubt that.
This?
You're an adult now, so remember.
We're supposed to each keep a copy.
That's why I had made a copy.
If only I hadn't gotten caught.
But which is the original?
That's it, isn't it?
- Give me that one. - I don't want to.
I want that one.
On the day of the first snowfall every year,
the goblin agrees to be summoned by me.
I will be waiting for you.
No way.
It's snowing.
It's the first snow.
I can't be sad for 1,000 years.
I'm not in pain all the time.
I'm a strong goblin...
who accepted my fate and got on with my life.
I'm a goblin's bride who's strong...
and accepted my fate and got on with my life.
No sadness lasts forever.
No love lasts forever, either.
I say there is.
Which will you vote for?
Sadness or love?
Such an excuse disguised as permission.
I wish I had one.
I wish that excuse...
would keep me alive.
With you.
On sad love.
- Mr. Yu! - My card! My card!
Did you enjoy your nap?
You aren't at home. You are at work.
Can you please focus for at least one day?
I'm sorry.
Hello and welcome.
Do you need a bed?
You have great taste.
Lie down on this bed and right away...
Mr. Yu. Mr. Yu!
I'm sorry. The bed is that comfortable.
I will miss you a lot.
You'll fall right asleep.
Here's your chicken.
Hello. Sit over there.
You seem well.
You seem healthy.
All is well.
I wish that this life...
is good to you.
I just have to think of you and you're here.
I was just thinking about you.
Why are you here?
I wanted to see you.
And I need a favor.
Ask away.
It's about Park Joong Won.
I was thinking about that...
and I got curious.
"Why now?"
"He'd been wandering for 900 years."
"Why did he choose to show himself now?"
Yes. It's about that.
I need you to be brave for a while.
Can you do that?
I'm the goblin's bride.
Listen carefully. I will call you shortly.
You must summon me right away.
That's easy.
I'll be back.
I told you already.
You cannot harm me...
with that sword.
I know that.
Shall we begin our final fight?
How do you know where I will go?
(The Multicolored Goblin)
What's the meaning of...
buckwheat flowers?
Lovers.
I see that...
you can no longer see me.
(Ji Eun Tak, aged 20, March 11, 2017, Heart attack)
It's because of me.
He waited for my mark to fade.
You're smart.
But it's too late.
He'll use me...
to pull out...
the goblin's sword.
Now. Summon me.
Do not blame me.
This is your destiny.
Are you okay?
Eun Tak.
I figured it out.
I get why he presented himself.
Stab me. Quickly.
It's all over if he takes my body.
He's trying to pull the sword out using my body.
I was destined...
to die anyway if it wasn't for you.
Stab me. Quickly.
She was right.
You should have stabbed her.
Now, it's either you or me.
You kept looking behind...
and now you will die by my hands.
Park Joong Won.
Answer to my call,
deceased soul.
- How dare you... - Park Joong Won.
Park Joong Won!
This is how it ends.
However, I won't perish in vain.
I took your life once again.
Look.
In the end,
it's demise.
Forgive me.
I can finally notify you...
of my brave death.
No!
No.
No. No.
No.
Meeting you...
was the reward of my life.
No.
Please.
You said you wouldn't let go of my hands.
You promised me.
I will come as the rain.
I will come as the first snowfall.
I will beg the divinity...
to let me do just that.
Don't do this.
Don't go like this.
I love you.
I love you. I love you.
So do I.
I love you.
I...
already did that...
back there.
No.
(Goblin)
In the end,
that is the decision I made.
I understand now.
