[Shilla Period, 1,200 years ago]
Father.
Father!
What is it?
Over there.
Father. Father!
- Father! - Lord Bi Ryeom!
You are not allowed to hurt a human!
The servant of the gods is an exception
when it comes to blessings, punishments, honor, or pain.
A god can do as they wish.
Now, Habaek, it's your turn.
You lost the god stones, didn't you?
Why... did you lose the god stones?
- What are you talking about-- - He did it!
I didn't do anything wrong, Habaek.
How could you surrender to him so quickly, Moo Ra?
He's the one who lost them.
He's the one who wanted to delay giving them to you, too.
You... really lost the god stones, my lord?
Is that why you wouldn't, no, couldn't give them to us?
I told him that we should just come clean.
But that jerk Bi Ryeom wanted us to keep this from you
saying that you'd definitely punish us for this.
Oh, Ms. Descendant!
What is she doing? Is she taking my car?
Oh, Yoon So Ah!
[The Bride of the Water God]
[Episode 6]
Did you two truly lose the god stones?
Yeah. So what happened with that, Habaek--
Let's go. We'll talk tomorrow.
Why? Let's just talk now! I don't want to feel bad until tomorrow.
Give me your keys.
I'm sure it'll be faster if I drive.
Let's just talk now, okay?
Just make a decision and resolve this now!
Bi Ryeom.
This is a true blow.
Unlike being hit by a human for 100 days straight.
Hey, are you crazy?
I surrender.
He must be out of his mind!
Why did you use violence? What are you planning to do now?
You don't have your powers. What if he blows you away?
Are you all right, my lord?
His fists feel the same as always.
The phone you are trying to call has been shut off.
Yeom Mi.
You will be forwarded to the voice mailbox and refunded your money.
Yoo Sang Yoo's phone number is...
Ugh, my cell phone...
That damned guy.
How did Habaek find out?
I thought you clued him in.
I think I know.
This happened with us around 2,000 years ago too, remember?
- Habaek caught us then, too-- - Wait.
We each took one of the water fireflies that were given to Habaek by his mother
only to lose them.
Give it back.
Why are you only asking me to give it back?
Get it back from Bi Ryeom first.
Give it back.
Why should I give it back first when Moo Ra didn't?
Go get it back from Moo Ra first.
Give it back.
I told you to get Bi Ryeom's first!
When he found out that we'd lost them...
he punched me, and you were almost turned into a carp.
And yet, you used the same plan against him?
Are you bird-brained?
Yeah, you know that I'm a bird brain.
Why are you acting as if you didn't know?
Yeah, you bird brain.
You know, Bird Brain...
Why didn't you just worry about Sky Country like a bird brain?
Why did you cause trouble for Water Country?
Servant of the gods?
We don't need something like that!
This is causing a huge commotion in the Realm of the Gods
and a god from Sky Country was involved
so it's only natural that I, a god from Sky Country
take the lead in rectifying this situation.
Rectifying the situation?
You call fanning the flames of Suh Wang Mo's anger
and making them into the servant of the gods "rectifying the situation"?
You just did this because you wanted to torment Habaek for your own fun!
Yeah, you're right.
And I was disappointed that the dignified Habaek didn't fall for it.
Back then, Habaek didn't do anything.
Well, would you have, if you'd been in his shoes?
Why is Habaek saying that he'll hear us out tomorrow?
I think he has more pressing matters to attend to.
What?
She's not back.
We shouldn't have let her leave by herself like that earlier.
She must have been so shocked.
I'm here.
[Hae Sa Ri]
Have you been doing well?
I'm sure you have.
I'm sure you have no worries where you are.
I'm sorry, Mom...
for not coming to visit you more often.
Mom.
Have you ever heard of our family members being servants of the gods?
I mean, what on earth did our ancestor do?
Were they from your side, or Dad's side?
Either way, one of you were tricked when marrying the other one.
Mom.
There are so many unbelievable things happening to me nowadays.
But there isn't a single person around me who I can talk to this about.
All I have is Yeom Mi and Yoo Sang Yoo, but...
You know Yoo Sang Yoo, right?
You know, the one who was the most cowardly
among the orphans who stayed at our house.
Yeah, him! He still won't leave me alone.
He's so annoying! All he ever does is nag.
Do you know his contact information by any chance, Mom?
Do you know my hospital's contact number, then?
I still haven't heard from Dad.
People say that he's gone missing.
But we both know that he just chose not to come back.
How ridiculous.
It's not that I miss him.
I just want some closure, is all.
I mean, even if he was going to disappear again
shouldn't he at least have explained things to me beforehand?
Um, Mom... you're not trying to appear in front of me...
like people sometimes do in movies, are you?
Um, you don't need to do that.
I'll be leaving, then.
Bye, Mom.
I'll come visit you again.
Are you okay?
What did you just say?
Just what kind of sin did my ancestor commit?
What did they do that was so terrible that my life is just a toy to you gods?
You know, I... yes, I...
Living my life isn't particularly fun or meaningful to me.
I didn't have the luxury to think about that.
My future? My dreams?
Yes, I suppose I did have those things at one time.
And right now, I'm paying the price
of having a dream that was too big to handle.
I've grown weary.
But that doesn't mean that I'm okay with dying in just any kind of way.
I thought you said that you were a god.
Grant this one wish of mine, then.
Let me meet with my father.
I want to ask him why he handed off all these burdens to me
and if he could sleep at night afterwards.
And if he can manage to choke down food properly.
I want him to take these burdens from me, even now.
He couldn't even save me, so what right does he have trying to save the world?
I just want to ask him that!
That's all I want.
That's why I can't die.
Until I meet my dad and say all of these things to him...
I can't die.
I promise you...
that I will never...
put you in danger again because of things pertaining to us gods.
I'll protect you.
Because that is a god's duty.
I want to be cool and retort with, "I'll protect my own body," but...
to be honest, you gods are a bit too much for me to handle.
All right, promise me, then.
And make sure to keep your promise.
I will.
This is a promise made to you by a god.
Got it?
Got it.
I promise.
Stamp.
Copy.
What kind of sin did my ancestor commit?
What did they do that was so terrible that my life is just a toy to you gods?
If you just let me live... if you just let me live...
I will lay down my entire life for the sake of all of the gods.
[1,200 years ago]
Merely your lifetime won't do.
Your entire family will have to serve the gods, from generation to generation.
Your descendants will only be granted one child
and your descendant's spouse will leave this life once they give birth.
The punishment for you deceiving the gods will be a short-lived love
and a long life, filled with betrayals.
Your descendants will exist solely for the reason of serving the gods
and pay the price for your betrayal of the gods.
Will you promise me this?
Geez, I just can't get used to this.
Oh, Ms. Descendant!
Oh, geez!
I'll have to put some partitions up soon.
What?
Um... where can I meet that goddess?
I want to give her back her car.
Why should I return my car to her?
- What? - I told her I'd keep it.
I told her to transfer the title of the car to me.
How can she possibly do that when you don't even have a license?
That's what she said.
And that's why I told her to transfer the title to your name.
What did you say?
Only the title is yours. It's my car.
I don't think so.
I'm a god, and those are humans' laws.
Oh, whatever!
Anyway, I'm going to work.
I feel like I've put so much effort into this, all for nothing.
I didn't realize this yesterday, but this new car sure is sweet!
Wow, look at these leather seats.
So luxurious!
It's the first time I've ever ridden in a car like this.
I'll just sell it.
How on earth have you been conducting yourself
that there were ridiculous rumors about CEO Shin being your sugar daddy, huh?
Ugh, this is so difficult! I'll talk to you after I park, Grandpa.
I couldn't even bear to listen to such disgusting rumors!
What on earth did Section Chief Bang tell him?
Thank goodness that it was revealed that you two are relatives.
What were you going to do if this didn't work out?
Who on earth are you calling my relative?
He's not a Shin!
Is he automatically a Shin, even though he was an orphan
just because of a name change?
You're so ridiculous, Grandpa.
You're really not going to fire him?
There you go again, being ridiculous!
Hurry up and get your butt back here
before I shave you bald and send you off to a monastery!
Ugh!
How is it going with the land in Gangwon-do?
There isn't anyone who is refusing to sell, is there?
No, it seems that everything is going smoothly.
All of that land is land that was hard to sell anyway
so most of the landowners want to make the sale right away, but...
"But"?
The landowner of the land that they're planning to use as a road
seems to be delaying the sale due to personal reasons.
You don't think they're trying to pull a fast one, do you?
Writer Kim. I just got here.
You said that the locations you needed
were the garden, a suite, and the restaurant, right?
What? An interview with CEO Shin, too?
Oh, of course I can! Don't worry!
You should've asked me sooner.
Oh, it's nothing, really.
All right, I'll be in touch. All right.
If it hadn't been for him--
Why, that little--
Who is that?
Hey!
I'm Secretary Min.
Who the heck drives like that?
You were blocking the road, so I safely steered the car around you.
Don't you know that you're supposed to stop, and then beep your horn?
I did consider that for a short second
but I figured that you'd get quite angry if I did.
- That's why I quietly slipped by. - Hey.
I'm Secretary Min.
Also, I'm afraid you've wasted your time if you're here to see CEO Shin.
He's currently out.
Furthermore, he will not be giving any statements or interviews.
And they may use those spaces for filming.
That'll be all, then.
Oh, yes.
Please return my handkerchief to me as soon as possible.
It's discourteous to hold on to other people's things for so long.
What a piece of work.
The leopard that was acquired by Changgyeongwon Zoo in 1973 has died.
Thus, the last leopard living in Korea is now gone.
In Gangwon-do, the Korean leopard, which has become extinct...
Doctor!
Look into some places that buy used cars.
- What happened to you? - Why are you yelling at me?
You left, saying you were meeting CEO Shin yesterday!
Huh?
You didn't show up where you were supposed to meet or call him.
And your phone was off!
I went to see if you were home, but you weren't!
I left the news on in case there were reports of any accidents!
Sorry.
I really thought that something might have happened to you!
How could I possibly face your father then?
If you keep acting like this, I'll move back to your neighborhood!
Stop spouting nonsense, and just take care of your own business.
CEO Shin called many times and came by many times, too! It was crazy!
Ms. Yoon So Ah.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
- About yesterday-- - Doctor!
It's CEO Shin.
He's here.
What brings you all the way here?
I didn't know what happened to you, or what I should do, so I kept dropping by.
I'm sorry.
Something came up all of the sudden.
I know I should've contacted you, but my cell phone broke.
I couldn't remember your number, and I went so far away
- and I came back so late, and-- - Stop it.
If you're okay, that's good enough.
It's fine. That is all.
I'm sorry.
As for the contract, if you just wait here--
Ms. Yoon So Ah?
Ms. Yoon So Ah.
- Um-- - I know what you're about to say.
So please give me a call when you're ready.
I'll be going.
I'll visit you this evening.
Where will you be? I'll come to you.
I'm planning to be at a very private place tonight.
Oh, um, I see.
Then, I'll give you a call as soon as possible.
I'm sorry.
All right, then.
Damn that Ahn Bin!
Damn it, I have to see him again?
Sorry.
Go ahead.
Well... I didn't do anything wrong! This is entirely that jerk's fault!
Moo Ra!
Well...
all of us got together a long time ago.
But Bi Ryeom kept messing around and starting fights!
At first, I resisted. But that jerk--
Isn't it a bit rude to keep referring to a god from another country as a "jerk"?
Shut up.
Moo Ra threw a water grenade at me first.
[13 years ago]
Hey, let's resolve this with our words, all right?
And then?
She ran at me like a leopard, so I defended myself a little.
"I defended myself a little"?
He threw a thunderbolt at me!
That's when Joo Dong ran in between us to stop us.
And then, the god stones were flung from our bodies.
We found two of them right away.
But Moo Ra's god stone was flung quite far away.
So Joo Dong went to go and get it.
- But he hasn't come back since. - What?
He didn't come back, no matter how long we waited.
And we never saw him again after that.
We've completely lost all contact with him.
What are you two saying?
We've both done our fair share of searching.
But that jerk, Bi Ryeom, went to Rome, saying it'd be nice to study there.
I was going to resume my search once I came back!
I didn't know that the red water would appear so soon.
That's a lie. He said he'd only be gone for a year
but he traveled the whole world in the past 10 years!
Moo Ra.
In archaeology, the more you find, the more there is to find.
It was six million years ago when humans and chimpanzees
split from their genetic ancestors.
So humans may have existed longer than we have.
Just look at him.
How could I not wither away when he's acting so absurd?
You two...
How could you two be so irresponsible?
No, no.
Habaek.
My main point is this.
If only you hadn't lost the coordinates, there wouldn't have been any problems.
Because those coordinates would've led you anywhere we may have been.
Isn't that right?
I really tried my best to find it.
But I was super busy, too!
There have been problems with the rivers in the south, so I was really stressed.
- All right. - Also...
you know how Joo Dong gets really one-track minded.
He always disappears without a word if he remembers that he has something to do.
Why did you go there on that day?
I think Joo Dong was working around there around that time.
But he said something was strange, and wanted us to come.
Something strange?
Like what?
Why did you go there on that day?
I think Joo Dong was working around there around that time.
But he said something was strange, and wanted us to come.
Something strange?
Like what?
I... I don't know.
Since Bi Ryeom and I got into a fight as soon as we got there.
And why did you two fight?
You don't need to know!
Don't worry.
We have time before the red water comes for the last time.
We'll find it by then.
I don't like it, but Bi Ryeom has a connection with the minor gods here.
He's probably on the move as we speak.
The problem isn't that you lost the coordinates.
The problem is that the god stones were left in this world.
What does this have to do with becoming king in the Realm of the Gods?
What does becoming king have to do with humans
that the god stones are left in the human world? How bothersome.
I agree.
- I have a shoot, so get going. - Okay.
Habaek.
I'm sorry.
And...
I don't like the clothes you're wearing.
Gosh, how many phones have I bought already?
That damned Ahn Bin's number... I don't know it.
And I don't know "Habak's" number either.
No way, they can't be the first ones to be saved onto my contact list.
- Hello? - It's me.
- Pardon? Who-- - Bring my car, I have to go somewhere.
Excuse me?
I asked for my keys. Why did you come here with me?
How does one obtain the license you speak of?
An ID, a color photo that you took in the last six months
as well as a technical test and a road test.
Why? Do you want one?
It sounds troublesome, but I'll do it.
But what about an ID?
An ID?
Buy me one, and keep the receipt.
No thanks.
Why did we come here?
Here?
Wow, what a weird connection.
This location is doomed. I lost something here too.
That thief deserves to catch a foot disease.
You should have been careful.
If there's really a god, please infest his toes with an incurable infection.
And infect his toenails with Candida--
I don't know of any god who would do that.
I thought Nam Soo Ri couldn't find it either.
But I wanted to check just in case.
What do those coordinates look like?
There's no use. You can't see them.
Who knows? Maybe the gods' servant's eyes are special.
- Even if I told you, you won't get it. - Who knows?
Maybe the servant's ears are special.
It's hard to explain.
Who knows? Maybe the gods' servant's understanding is special.
It has the temper of water, but the clearness of fire.
It is the truth that is engraved with solid markings.
All moments are stopped, yet all moments are passing by.
It's my one and only answer that is intact.
If you see something like this, don't hesitate...
and pick it up quickly.
I'll wait over there. Take your time.
That damned Ahn Bin.
- Tell me Ahn Bin's number. - Who?
Ahn... I mean...
Bi Ryeom's phone number.
I told you not to associate with him.
It's because I left something in his car, okay?
Gosh, that man.
Fine, I won't bother you.
[Mr. Nature]
[The Protector]
[Guardian]
[Water Ghost]
He always sits in his rubber bucket, sits and reads the newspaper
or sits and surfs the internet.
After seeing him sit around all the time
it's fascinating to see him move around and work hard at something.
He said something was strange that day, and told us to go and have a look.
Something strange?
What is he doing? Is he praying? Is he sleeping?
Is he showing off his jawline?
I promise you...
that I will never...
put you in danger again because of things pertaining to us gods.
I'll protect you.
Because that is a god's duty.
A god's...
duty?
- What are you filming? - Oh my, um...
I was just... did you find them?
No, I must have lost them in the streets.
What is it?
Well, um... do you want to take a picture?
- A picture? - A commemorative picture.
Since we were both screwed over here, let's remember it.
I see you commemorate all sorts of things.
Consider this an honor.
Then, there.
- We don't fit. - Give it to me.
Do you want that tree in the picture?
Yes.
There.
One...
two... three.
Again.
Again. Again.
- Are you stupid? - Is it that hard?
I thought you were a god.
Again.
One, two, three!
Let's go. Take it.
I'll send you the pictures.
Show me the pictures from today.
There are six pictures.
Send them to Water Ghost.
What?
Please select a sharing method.
Hey, you listen so well.
Is it over once you find the last god stone?
That's right.
Then are you going back?
That's right.
Then you'll only protect me for a limited time.
- What? - Nothing.
But what if you don't get your powers back when you go back?
That won't happen. I am one with Water Country.
Nature is meant to go back to nature.
But I'm still speechless.
I can't believe this is all because you lost the coordinates.
To be honest, I thought it took a lot more to become a king.
- A lot more? - Yes.
For example, a battle between the kings.
- I guess that doesn't exist there. - Because I was born to be a king.
I heard humans elect their kings.
There are no kings.
They are just entrusted with authority for a temporary term.
- Because people are busy. - Entrusted?
Yes.
But the problem is that they often forget it.
That's why we have to elect people who have a good memory.
But since I'm leaving this country, it doesn't matter to me.
- Does it really not matter? - Pardon?
If I had to leave Water Country forever, how would I feel?
If I couldn't go back, I would I feel?
I wonder if it won't matter to me.
Although, that will never happen.
Water Country without me is unimaginable.
What is this smell?
I drank with the duck boat boss. There were no customers.
- Direct me to Ahn Bin's place. - I need to go to my land. Head that way.
- Pardon? - I need to check something.
- I'm in a rush too. - I told you not to meet him, so go--
I'll decide whether I should meet him or not.
There's something I must check today.
You people are seriously...
Aren't you hungry?
- Hello? - It's me. Are you closing your clinic?
- Yeom Mi! - I heard you left this morning.
That's okay. We don't have any patients anyway.
- But still-- - You wench!
How could you do this to me? Do you know what happened to me?
You don't care if I die or not, do you? I...
I thought I was your one and only friend.
Don't you care if I get robbed, scammed, or haunted by a water ghost?
Don't you... hello? What the heck?
Hello?
Come to my shop. I need to introduce you to someone.
That robber, scam artist, and especially that water ghost...
It's not me, is it?
- If you're done, go to my land. - Let's eat first.
I'm going to see my friend.
Why is this man still stuck to you like gum?
I don't think you have the right to say that right now.
There is a time for everything.
If you're curious, I'll introduce them. This is the god of water, Habaek.
- And his subordinate, Nam Soo Ri. - Hello.
You're really mad, aren't you?
I know I was gone for a long time.
But I have my reasons. I met a great man in Gaerongsan.
He's a guru who is no different than a god.
Ah, really?
It's been while since he had a godly connection, but he's still incredible.
Is that so?
He needs to return to Gaerongsan tomorrow, so meet him today.
- No thanks, I'm busy. - Listen to me!
You two can wait there.
Hey, seriously!
This is the friend I told you about.
She's still young, but her situation is quite serious.
Ask him about your situation.
I wish I could see it. I can read everyone else, except for you.
This is why I go to Gaerongsan. Because I might be lacking.
You have no luck with parents.
See?
Please take care of her.
You don't look like you should be someone's subordinate.
You don't have any luck with parents
but you don't have any luck with men either.
I see that you're frustrated because of your land these days.
It's your land, but it's also not. But it's not someone else's land either.
You won't sell it.
You're mistaken. I'll sell it soon.
There's no use if it is not fated to happen.
Even if it is looking up, you'll lose it. There's nothing you can do about it.
Why?
Because a heavy spirit is by your side, driving away all luck.
A tenacious punk is by your side.
A tenacious punk?
A god is in your house. A minor god.
If you don't kick him out, things will get even worse.
He's not a minor god.
He's a real god.
Hey! Do you think a minor god would admit that he's a minor god?
Who are you calling a minor god?
Hold on, what on earth is...
- What's wrong? - Joo Geol Rin.
How dare you...
How dare you?
Ha... Habaek, please save me.
I mean, please kill me. I mean, save...
Damn it!
You scared me, you mandarinfish!
Joo Geol Rin!
- Get him! - Sir!
- Excuse me, can you... - Oh, yes.
No, I didn't mean that.
That's not what I meant, you jerk!
Where... where did he go?
That way. What's wrong?
He's a minor god.
A minor god?
Oh! Lord Habaek!
Geez! Geez, I lived!
Stop right there!
Good thing you lost your powers!
Hey, come here.
- Come here! - Geez!
Hey, come here.
- Come here! - Geez!
- What happened? - I thought he'd be in the sky
but he disappeared into the ground! What is this?
Here's your order.
Enjoy.
His hunger got worse after seeing Joo Geol Rin.
It looks like a strong subject symptom.
It'll calm down soon.
But what are you going to do after you catch that minor god?
- We have to break the curse. - Can you do that?
Of course. It's not hard.
- The thing is-- - Nam Soo Ri.
Can we break it?
Oh, about that...
Do you have to kiss him again?
What's wrong with that?
Oh, it must be pretty undesirable.
Hey, but what's wrong with that?
Will it be uncomfortable?
But it's better than being hungry. Close your eyes and...
I'm not hungry!
The curse will be broken once we return to our world.
- His powers will return too. - Oh.
When you return?
But, speaking of curses...
How can our family break our curse?
That's not a curse, but a promise.
- Is it different? - It is.
Why did my ancestors make that promise?
- Because they committed a sin. - What sin?
I'm really curious. If it's a valid reason, I'll give in.
There was a woman who was attacked and thrown into the water.
The rules were broken so she could live in Water Country.
And she lived a decent life there.
But one day...
she became frail due to her worries about her blind father.
After she was sent back to her world with a generous care package...
she never returned.
She fell for a king in her own country and got married.
The entire Realm of the Gods felt betrayed.
After what we'd done for her.
Was her last name Shim, by any chance?
And was her name Chung? (Figure of virtue and filial piety)
Let's go.
Let's get going.
- Please pack this up. - Yes.
My dad's last name was Yoon, and my mom's last name was Kang.
Please tell me a story with the correct last name next time.
- Direct me to Ahn Bin. - There's no need to meet him.
Hey, come on.
- What's this? - What you're looking for.
This must be Yoon So Ah's. Deliver it to her.
What is this?
- How dare you try to sell gods' land? - Look here!
I was too astonished to read all of it. It's clearly about the sale of my land.
I don't know who you were trying to sell it to, but don't waste your time.
I'll forgive you just this once, so take me to my land.
How is this your land? This is my land!
It won't sell anyway.
Why are you... doing this to me?
This is...
This is really important to me.
You can sell everything else. But not the gods' land.
I have nothing else to sell!
Ms. Descendant!
Hold on.
When you said you'd protect me, I was a little happy.
When you said it was your duty, I wanted to believe you.
It wasn't perfect...
but I thought I finally had someone on my side.
I thought living together...
was...
such a relief.
