A KOREAN ODYSSEY (Episode 1)
Breaking news. Around 3 p.m. yesterday, a wildfire
broke out in Gangwon Province and has been causing damage for two days.
The fire has been spreading along the ridge,
and it has engulfed about 60 hectares of the forest so far.
Due to the extremely dry weather, it is spreading very quickly,
so the firefighters are struggling to put out the fire.
PREVENT WILDFIRES FOR OUR MOUNTAINS!
-Oh, it's Jin Seon-mi. -It's Seon-mi.
-Don't get close to her. -You're a ghost.
-Let's go.
-You're a ghost. -She's a ghost.
-You're a ghost. -She's a ghost. Avoid her.
-You're a ghost. -You're a ghost.
-Her ghost will follow you. -Get lost.
-You're a ghost. -You're a ghost.
You give us the creeps. Get lost!
ETHICS
Hello, everyone. Good morning.
Shall we greet each other?
Stand up, everyone.
What's she looking at? There's nothing.
I don't know. She's doing it again.
She must be crazy.
You're the only student who listens to me.
You're a good girl.
I should reward you.
Go away!
What's wrong, kids?
What's going on? Seon-mi!
What are you doing?
Are you okay, Seon-mi?
Go away.
Go away, please.
Hey kid, where are you going?
I'll come with you.
Let's go to school and study together.
No!
Students must study.
I told you to go away!
You're a bad student.
Shall I teach you a lesson? You should be punished.
Go away!
I said, go away.
Leave me alone!
Go away.
Mister, did you make her go away?
Yes.
How?
Mine doesn't do that.
That's too bad. Mine works.
You're probably not a human either.
Since I don't want to scare you, I'll just say...
that I'm a fairy.
I'm not scared of you.
I'm scared of things like that from earlier.
You can see creatures that aren't human.
I've been
looking for a special human like you.
You...
passed.
-Why were you looking for someone like me? -Because I have a favor to ask.
If I help you,
will you swap yours with mine?
Sure thing.
Then we have
-a deal now. -Sounds good.
This path will lead you to a small house in the forest.
Go inside the house
and bring me what I need.
What is it?
It's a fan with a pretty name, Pachoseon.
You know that a fire has been going on
for a week in the big mountain east from here, right?
I need that fan to put out the fire.
If you bring it to me,
I'll swap my umbrella with yours.
-Then I'll go. -Good.
What an absurd request. All right.
Human kid.
You must get out of there as soon as you find the fan.
No matter what you see or hear,
you must turn a blind eye to all of it.
Okay. I'm really good at things like that.
-See you soon. -All right.
You can go get it yourself.
Why are you asking me?
That house
is a very strange house.
Humans can't see it, but only humans can enter it.
Only special ones like you can go inside that house.
You'll find it inside the room at the end of the hallway
after going up the stairs.
I thought you were a fly, but you're actually a human.
Hey, kid.
Who are you? How did you get in here?
No matter what you see or hear,
you must turn a blind eye to all of it.
And you came empty-handed?
You didn't bring any gift? Booze, for example.
I'm craving alcohol.
You'd make the perfect snack.
There's no way this human kid can see or hear me.
Hey, your umbrella just fell on the floor.
Can you hear me?
Well, well.
You can hear me, right?
Why did you come here?
Why is that fan in your pocket?
Someone asked me to bring it.
Mr. Fairy asked me to bring this fan to him.
Mr. Fairy?
A tall guy with a mustache?
He said he's a fairy?
Do you know him?
I know him very well.
How did a human kid like you become his minion?
I'm not his minion.
We made a deal.
A deal?
On what terms?
Terms?
You didn't state your terms?
-You're in big trouble now. -Why?
Something bad might happen to you when you walk out of that door now.
Frightening monsters might come at you.
I can't let that happen.
I'll go with you.
I'll keep you safe.
Let me go get changed into something nice since I have to go out now.
You should put out the candles before we head out together.
Hurry up.
Why don't you do it yourself?
Just go ahead and do it.
You can't do it.
Only I can do it, right?
Isn't that why you're asking me to do it?
That's right, human kid.
Do it for me, please.
I must put them out to leave this place.
Isn't it dangerous?
They represent the Marble Mountains.
Their energy is... Look at this. Here too.
It's confining me all the way up here.
If you release me by putting out the candles,
I'll keep you safe. You understand?
-Shouldn't we make a deal, then? -Goodness.
Kiddo, you're quite smart.
All right.
Tell me the terms you want.
Keep me safe.
I see horrifying monsters.
You can see demons.
Life must be tough for you.
What's your name?
-Jin Seon-mi. -"Jin Seon-mi."
I'm Son O-gong, the great sage equal to heaven.
Call my name when you're in danger or scared.
Then I'll show up
and protect you.
Then we have a deal.
All right.
I'm so sick and tired of the Marble Mountains.
Get rid of them for me.
Did I get out?
I did.
I got out of there.
I got out. I'm finally out of there!
The house is gone.
I know.
That prison has completely vanished.
Great job, Seon-mi.
I need a drink right now.
You probably don't want to join me. So, bye!
Where are you going?
You must stay by my side and protect me from now on.
Oh, right.
We did make a deal.
First, please take me to somewhere safe.
I live with my maternal grandmother.
I'll introduce you to her.
All right.
Hold on. Let me think for a second.
You won't come with me?
Seon-mi.
You seem like a very smart kid,
so you must know what a prison is.
What kind of people get locked up in there?
Bad guys.
I was locked up in one.
What does that make me?
Are you a bad guy?
Yes.
Let me introduce myself.
I'm a total bastard.
Does that mean you'll break the deal?
I don't like this,
but we can't break any deal we made with humans.
According to our deal,
I must show up and keep you safe
whenever you call my name, but...
Seon-mi, do you...
remember my name?
Of course, I do. Your name is...
Your name is...
What was it?
You probably don't remember it
because I took out the memory.
Oh, no. It's gone now.
-You're a jerk. -Yes, I told you I am.
And there's another bad news for you.
Since you got me released,
you'll probably be punished for it.
What kind of punishment?
Don't be too scared.
I hope you survive.
I should go now.
Don't go, Mr. Fairy.
I'll run to you and protect you whenever you call my name,
but, obviously, you'll never be able to call my name.
One more thing, Seon-mi. I'm not a fairy.
I'm...
Anyway, goodbye.
What was his name?
25 YEARS LATER
Hello, I'm from Hanbit Real Estate.
-It's very nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.
-Thank you in advance. -No problem. Ms. Jin is on her way now.
She told me that she'll go ahead and purchase the building today
if there's no issue with it.
By the way, I heard that she's very young.
How can she be so rich?
Well, I don't really know her story,
but she's pretty famous in the real estate industry.
She must be very business savvy.
Savvy? I don't really think that she's...
Her instincts. She gets such accurate hunches.
What was her name again?
She has a very pretty name.
Oh, there she is.
This is the CEO of Hanbit Real Estate,
Ms. Jin Seon-mi. Please give her a big hand...
-Sorry. -She's very young.
Ms. Jin, they're the building owners. Say hello.
-Hello. -Hello.
-Gosh! -Goodness.
What is going on?
Mr. Lee, how many people are here now?
Oh, people...
There are five eagles
One,
two,
three, four, five.
Six?
There's one more.
What do you mean?
I can see why they wanted to sell it cheap quickly.
Many businesses went bankrupt here, right?
Gosh, you must've heard a false rumor or something.
There's no problem with this building.
I'll...
buy it.
COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE PURCHASE CONTRACT
CEO JIN SEON-MI
Here you go.
-Please check. I think we're set. -Okay.
Ms. Jin.
We're done here, so let's go.
You go ahead.
What's she looking at?
Well, just pretend you didn't notice it.
Let's go.
She's weird.
What a strange woman.
Ms. Jin.
I'll have a cup of coffee downstairs, then.
Is it really necessary for you to crawl out with your hair like that?
You're scaring me!
Gosh, it hurts. It stings!
Don't.
-It stings! -Don't. Don't you dare. Go away!
Go away. Get lost!
Good. You look much better
with your hair tied back like that.
So, you died while trying to lose 30kg for the audition?
You must be starving.
CORN FLAKES ENERGY BAR
I have candies. Do you want some?
Can you sing a song for me?
I'm so scared.
It's so hard to make a living.
I'll quit as soon as my term deposit matures.
Do you happen to know any fairies?
Long time ago, I made a deal
with a bad fairy.
But lately,
I can barely remember his face.
Now it feels like...
the whole thing was a dream.
LEE DA-IN
CM ENTERTAINMENT KIM HYEONG-SEOK
Now it's time for the evaluation.
Let's hear the judges' comments on Lee Da-in.
I enjoyed the song.
But the thing is
singing without strain is different from singing in a weak voice.
I wasn't quite satisfied with her performance.
She failed.
-What? -What the hell?
-Thank you. -That's so unfair!
Maybe you weren't desperate. I couldn't feel your emotions.
I'm not excited to see your next performance.
LUCIFER ENTERTAINMENT WOO HWI
Only my choice
can save you now.
Do you think
you are desperate enough?
Yes.
I'm very desperate.
I can't feel your power. Answer louder.
Yes! I'm desperate!
To move the hearts of all the people in here,
answer me once again. One more!
I'm very desperate!
Your desperate wish
touched my heart.
You.
You passed.
PASS FAIL
Thank you so much!
Gosh, it was so...
Mr. Woo, your showmanship is just unbelievable.
You're the fairy of viewer ratings indeed.
I'm not a fairy.
I'm the devil king.
I read it from some comments.
It said I'm the Overacting Devil King.
I'm joking.
That's not true.
-Oh, really? -I'll see you later then.
-Thanks for all your hard work. -Thank you.
Let's go.
LUCIFER ENTERTAINMENT CHAIRMAN WOO HWI
Thank you for giving me a pass.
So, are you satisfied now?
I'm glad I decided to come here after eating an energy bar.
Then you should get out of her body now.
Okay.
Gosh.
You're welcome.
You poor thing.
The girl who was possessed by the ghost woke up just fine.
She must be excited to find out that she passed after a nap.
You eased a ghost's grudge and granted a human being's wish.
You are amazing.
I'll become a deity soon.
That is what I am supposed to do.
Without knowing all that,
people like to talk behind your back saying you're overreacting.
They are just pathetic.
Who said that?
Just tell me. I'm fine. You can say anything.
Is it the fat one on the left or the loud one on the right?
Both of them?
Should I kill them?
Will you eat them?
Killing is not allowed when one is trying to become a deity.
Then do you want me to beat them up?
I've waited for a thousand years.
I'll become a deity soon.
I don't want to create any trouble.
But...
the guy who lives with you keeps causing trouble.
What did he do this time?
These are the speeding tickets issued for the car
with the license plate 99D5050.
You should warn him.
NOTIFICATION OF FINE FOR NEGLIGENCE
"Five-zero-five-zero, 190km per hour"?
He must be out of his mind.
99D5050
Who are you? Why are you parking your car in front of my house?
Father, I'm so sorry.
-We've been waiting. Please come in. -Thank you for coming, Father.
That's the room.
-It must be in there. -Yes, Father.
Gosh!
He's never thrown things out the window before.
-He's not happy that I'm here. -What's going on? Gosh.
Gosh.
Our son has been acting weird these days.
He even floated in the air while sleeping.
Father, please help us.
Maybe I should test him.
Keep going.
What should I use to beat him up?
Let's go with this one.
Gosh, look at that.
It's a perfect score.
Let's go knock him down then.
Father.
Please release me.
-It really hurts. -It hurts?
You little liar.
Hey, do you think I won't hit you just because you're in a boy's body?
Don't make me waste my energy.
Knock it off...
before I kick your ass.
Get it away from me!
You are not a priest!
You are a mere monkey!
You keep running your mouth knowing who I am.
I guess you're not afraid to get beaten up.
I should find the core and smash it to pieces.
CORE: MAIN BODY OF EVIL SPIRITS
Come here!
You've been confined after committing a sin in the Spiritual Realm.
You think you're such a hotshot? You're not!
That's why I'm trying to earn some points by knocking down evil spirits like you.
Stop beating your gums!
You're stressing me out.
Let me smash everything.
Where is it?
Let me see.
Where would it be?
Wait.
Please let it slide.
I'll release the boy and possess someone else.
No. Why would I do that? How much are you going to pay me?
-Son O-gong! -What? What now?
O-gong.
Do you know that Samjang has been born?
-What? -I saw a human
with the blood of Monk Samjang.
If you eat the flesh and blood of Samjang,
you'll become extremely powerful.
Are you sure there is such a human?
Of course.
I already tasted Samjang.
It had an unbelievable scent.
-You're lying. -I'm serious.
I left a mark that looks like this on Samjang's body.
If you let me go, I'll help you find Samjang.
What do you say, O-gong?
Gosh.
You have another priest in there?
We just got here.
There he is.
It's done.
Thank you.
-Thank you so much, Father. -Ui-seong!
Which parish are you from?
I'm directly from up there.
And I got myself this as a token of your gratitude.
Okay.
All right, then.
Thank you, Father.
I'm worried your ice cream store doesn't have many customers.
Don't worry about me.
Just focus on returning to the Spiritual Realm.
You took care of the wooden puppet today, so you'll get promoted soon.
I guess so.
Once I return to the Spiritual Realm, I can drink again.
I've collected 2,982 bottles of liquor to drink when the time comes.
This is the 2,983rd bottle.
I hope you will return to the Spiritual Realm
before collecting 3,000 bottles.
I will.
It seems like you've decided to live a decent life in the Human Realm.
Who would even imagine
that you were General Winter who used to devastate the whole world
with a tang of frost?
I don't do that anymore.
General Winter.
Have you heard of a human called Samjang before?
The human whose blood smells like lotus flowers?
I've heard of that human,
but I've never met one who had that scent.
I see.
I heard a monster who drinks Samjang's blood
will get enormous power.
-Is that true? -If the word gets out,
whether it's true or not,
a lot of monsters would go after Samjang.
I can eat it only if such a human exists. I don't think such a human exists.
Are you still staying with Devil King Woo?
Yes.
He nags me a lot,
but the location is nice and there's no parking hassle.
Thank you.
Mr. Woo.
-Hello. -I guess you're going home.
Someone sent this plant as a celebratory gift.
-A celebratory gift? -Yes.
It must be from the broadcasting company. It's not necessary.
That's not it.
It's for Mr. Son O-gong.
This is your address, right?
Mr. Son O-gong, congratulations on your promotion.
"Promotion"?
To Mr. Son O-gong?
Mr. Son O-gong must be sleeping at home right now.
Tell him to get it himself.
He's not answering the intercom.
Could you please bring this to him?
-What? -Please.
It's heavy.
Okay.
-And I have something to tell you. -What now?
Plate number 99D5050. It's one of your cars, isn't it?
Yes, it is. Why?
It's always parked like that.
I'm afraid you can't do this.
It's taking up
three slots at a time. You can't do that.
That asshole.
People will take a picture of it
-and post it on the Internet. -I'll chew him out.
If people post hateful comments,
-you will be in trouble. -I will kill him.
He's such an impolite jerk.
-That jackass. -You're famous.
Please be more careful.
Okay.
I really want to kill him.
O-gong!
You idiot!
Gosh.
It's so heavy.
That jerk. He did it again.
He hung it again.
Why would he hang it here?
This isn't even his house. Why did he bring it here?
What an asshole.
He's such a scumbag.
THEY ARE THE CHEFS OF KANG KITCHEN
Gosh, it's so heavy!
Hey.
I told you not to hang your clothes on my sculpture.
When you come home,
you should hang your jacket in your room.
Sorry.
Why did you not answer the intercom?
I didn't hear it watching TV.
Did you watch this?
It's really funny.
This is the rival TV show of your audition show, isn't it?
It will soon catch up with the viewer ratings.
My show has double the viewer ratings.
That's for now. The reviews say differently.
This show has only favorable comments.
You only get hate comments since you always overreact on the show.
Gosh, I'm worried about you.
Hey, you don't have to worry about me.
Just make sure
to take care of your own things.
Gosh.
From Sa O-jeong
-Is this for me? -You're wasting electricity.
-Oh, it's from O-jeong. -The electricity bill...
-Are you returning the Spiritual Realm? -It's not confirmed yet,
but Master Subori wants to see me tomorrow.
I think I'll get a big promotion this time.
I bet they are trying to stop the mischievous monkey from making trouble
by making you a deity again and offering you a promotion.
If I get a promotion in the Spiritual Realm,
I'll help you out.
In fact, you got rid of the Marble Mountains for me.
What?
I had no intention of releasing you.
It was just an accident. It was a mistake.
I let you stay here because I wanted to fix my mistake.
And now you're returning to the Spiritual Realm...
You'll get out of my house.
I like it here. There's a lot of parking space.
No.
I want you to get out of my place.
I'll find a good realtor for you.
A place with a lot of parking space.
Gosh, it's all over my 100% cashmere coat.
He must be upset about all those hate comments.
Those are really harsh.
Why aren't you picking up?
Do you think I'll just let you go if you cut me off like this?
I will find you.
Wait and see. I'm really going to kill myself.
EXORCISM REPORT DRIVEN OUT BY SON O-GONG
You took care of the possessed wooden puppet.
What about the bride?
He has a wife?
Can't you tell that he's dressed like a groom?
-They're a couple. -Then I'll take care of her as well.
This will be my last job in the Human Realm.
I want a clean end.
To tell you the truth, your reinstatement hasn't been confirmed.
You do get things done,
but when we interviewed your acquaintances,
they all gave a terrible review.
It's always those stupid acquaintances!
-Who was it this time? -Why? Are you going to get revenge?
I want to hear the details and repent earnestly.
You destroyed two overpasses when you were trying to catch a tire ghost.
You can't cause damage to the Human Realm.
I went through so much trying to catch that evil spirit.
This is unbelievable.
Anyway, someone petitioned against your reinstatement,
-so you can't return this time. -I knew it.
You lied to me again, didn't you?
Hey, O-gong.
You might punch me one day.
-I once was your mentor. -Master, you can't do this to me.
Ever since I escaped The Marble Mountains, I've been working diligently
because you promised I'd get promoted.
Anyway, you won't be promoted this time.
-Maybe next time. -Forget it.
I've had enough.
I'm done!
Are you done?
Okay, keep stacking points
until the next evaluation.
Don't bother. I'll just find Samjang and eat it.
How do you know that Samjang exists?
There is one?
There's Samjang in the Human Realm in this generation?
No.
There is. Don't take me for a fool.
Don't do it. If you eat Samjang,
you'll never be able to go back.
There really is Samjang.
I heard eating Samjang gives you incredible strength, right?
-O-gong. -Perfect.
I will find Samjang
and eat it for myself.
What should I do with that disobedient monkey?
I should see Devil King Woo.
Let's see...
This is the energy from the LA concert.
This is from the Vancouver concert.
The red ones are especially good.
All your popular stars
are monsters, are they not?
It's confidential.
Come on now.
PK?
Jeo Pal-kye told me everything.
I heard Jang Na-ra's a monster too. I knew it.
There's no other way she can manage to stay looking so young.
That's why we're considering surgery to make her look old.
In an attempt to hide that Hyun Bin's a monster,
you made him serve as a marine, didn't you?
You're very interested in the entertainment industry.
You gather energy and money.
Good for you.
Did you come here
to make me babysit a particularly troublesome monster?
Not really.
I'm here...
to talk about the Great Sage.
What about him?
Are you here to plan a party to celebrate his promotion?
Before getting to Spiritual Realm,
he'll get into trouble first.
Before...
going back?
He can't go back?
What kind of trouble do you think...
O-gong will get into?
He wants to eat Samjang.
Samjang?
The rumor that there is one in this generation is true?
The human kid who released O-gong from The Marble Mountains...
Didn't you send her there?
I didn't send her to release O-gong.
I wanted to do good by putting out the fire
in the Taebaek Mountains with Pachoseon.
I lost 100 out of the 1,000 goodwill years that I had accumulated as a punishment.
Anyway,
do you remember that human kid?
Yes.
She is Samjang.
For releasing a monster,
she was given the fate of Samjang
who must deal with all sorts of monsters.
Is that so?
Do you think
you can find that human...
and protect her?
That girl...
is Samjang?
-You won't sell? -No.
You wanted to sell it right away not so long ago.
We wanted to move because our son was sick,
but he's all better now.
You're okay now.
I heard that I bit you.
Sorry.
How is the bite wound now?
I'm fine.
Thank you for asking.
Ms. Jin.
We didn't even get a commission.
Shouldn't you ask them to pay for your treatment?
Leave it. It wasn't the boy who bit me.
It was a foreign man.
He isn't here now.
What is she talking about?
Darn it.
She's even scarier than my boss.
Are scary women a trend?
Jeez.
This is the house.
That's what happened.
She's on the move already.
Sir.
Can I help you find something?
I was looking for something,
-but it left this place already. -Pardon?
In exchange for the information, I'd like to take this.
That's a very rare item. That's the most expensive one in our store.
It's a rare item?
Sa O-jeong, it's me.
I need to buy something. You should pay.
Yes, sir.
Sure.
I'll send it right away.
Continue.
The customers are satisfied with our new product
which we've managed to minimize issues with the display.
Here.
-Oh, thanks. -Bye.
Thank you.
The woman who bought the bride puppet could be in danger.
You should find the puppet and destroy it.
Who cares?
I'm looking for that possessed puppet to find Samjang.
The bride might know what her groom knew.
Will you stop trying to earn points to return to the Spiritual Realm?
I don't need that once I eat Samjang.
This is for all the ice cream I've had so far.
You really don't need to pay me.
Your business is failing because your energy freezes the area.
The thing inside has been keeping the kettle warm for 100 years.
Keep it here and it'll warm your store a bit.
You need to make money.
See you.
Thank you.
You're hot and I'm cold. We are incompatible,
but let's try to get along.
I need to get on the 88 Olympic Expressway.
It seems like it's congested.
Was there an accident?
Ms. Jin. Shall we check out the Uijeongbu bathhouse tomorrow?
My goodness.
Not again.
Sorry, let's go there today.
I wasn't talking to you. Keep driving.
Okay.
It will cause an accident.
Han-ju, catch up to the car in the front and get close to the driver's side.
-What for? -So I can curse.
Han-ju, do it now.
Lower your window. Your window!
Your window!
Lower your window! Your window!
You asshole! Stay focused!
What the hell? Are you crazy?
Keep your eyes on the road!
Fuck you, you fucking piece of shit!
I hope you freeze to death in Siberia.
You little... Pull over right now. Right now.
I can't believe...
Go away. Get lost.
-Get lost! -Look at me.
I'm right here!
-Pull over. -Get lost!
-You fucking son of a bitch! -What the...
What's your problem? Pull over now!
You lunatic.
Hey, pull over!
-It's gone. -Pull over!
Hey, I said pull over. Where do you think you're going?
What's wrong with you?
I'll follow you.
-I said, pull over! -He looks like a real thug.
He might beat us up. Step on it.
I'm useless at fighting.
It's fortunate that I'm good at my job as well as driving.
It could've been a total disaster today.
Gosh.
Ms. Jin, the GPS says the traffic's really bad.
Is it okay if we go to Uijeongbu tomorrow...
Of course it's not. We must go today. Not tomorrow, but today.
Let me see...
Then, we have a deal.
Call my name when you're in danger or scared.
Then I will show up
and protect you.
Anyway, goodbye.
That must be it.
Ms. Jin, we can take the Ring Expressway.
Ms. Jin, I found a way to get there faster!
Ms. Jin!
Hey, kid.
You've aged.
I see you're still alive. Good for you.
I've aged trying to stay alive,
but you haven't changed.
Don't tell me you've been looking for me all those years.
It took you a long time to finally show yourself.
I didn't actually come for you. It's more like I was passing by.
I was wondering why a fraud would show himself again.
I never had the chance. You never called my name.
Call my name when you're in danger or scared.
Then I'll show up and protect you.
Seon-mi, do you...
remember my name?
You probably don't remember it
because I took out the memory.
What was his name?
You should've looked harder for me.
Although, you wouldn't have remembered my name.
Fortunately, I didn't look hard.
I figured it was worthless, so I gave up along the way.
-What? -When I was young and clueless,
I thought highly of someone who called himself a fairy.
Years of experience have taught me that there are evil spirits
who have been condemned to a certain place.
Do you happen to be one of them?
An evil spirit? Did you just call me an evil spirit?
If you're not one, then who cares?
You just said you were just passing by.
I never intended to call and stop you, so get going.
What's it with you?
Humans sure get angrier as they age.
The young and helpless Seon-mi was at least adorable.
The nasty, angry, and older Seon-mi is just pitiful.
I guess even worthless spirits were too much for you to handle.
So much for just leaving.
Give me your number. I'll send you a talisman.
My number?
Are you going to tell me your name then?
Whatever I tell you wouldn't be my real name anyway.
If I call out your real name,
would you come to protect me?
Sure, ring me up. Although, I may not answer.
Why would I ring you up when I can just call your name?
-What? -I know your real name.
I remember it.
I already know what your name is.
Anyway, I'm busy, so I'll get going.
Older Jin Seon-mi.
Don't you lie. How could you know my name?
-I just remembered it. -That's not possible.
Don't believe it then.
How dare you try to trick me?
If it's true, then call out my name.
It's a lie, isn't it?
You don't know, do you?
You're scared I might actually say it.
Hey!
Do you know who I am?
The three syllables of my name
would even scare the Jade Emperor.
You shouldn't lie to me. Just tell me if you don't know my name.
Let's say I don't, then.
Unbelievable.
You either know or you don't, so which is it?
I'll never call your name, so let's say I don't know your name.
-What? -It's not that I can't call you.
I choose not to call you.
I've grown up quite decently.
I protect myself
and live a decent life.
It turns out
that I don't need you to protect me anymore.
You don't need me?
Growing old has its perks.
Fine.
I'll keep on going my way, so you keep growing older.
Let me wish you well.
Grow old slowly.
Don't go, Mr. Fairy.
I'll run to you and protect you whenever you call my name,
but, obviously, you'll never be able to call my name.
Anyway, goodbye.
Excuse me.
How can I help you?
Is this where I can find Ms. Jin Seon-mi?
Wait, you're...
It's really you. "You passed."
Oh, my. You're incredible, sir.
So is Ms. Jin here?
She was on her way to Uijeongbu to see a property,
but she went somewhere else since she got stuck in traffic.
She'll be here soon though.
Gosh, your face is tiny.
I know.
-Would you like some coffee? -Sure.
You can wait in Ms. Jin's office.
I'll get you a cup of high-end coffee.
Thank you.
What an idiot.
You won't believe what just happened.
A TV celebrity just came to our office.
I'll give you a hint. "You passed."
Yes, it's him!
You won't believe how tiny his face is. It's so awesome!
CEO JIN SEON-MI
Then, we have a deal now.
Sounds good.
So, she is that little girl.
LICENSED REAL ESTATE AGENT
Now she owns a real estate agency.
The supposed Monk Samjang is living a normal life.
Look at that!
She must have used her ability to get rich.
How many gold bars are there?
One, two, three...
From what I hear, the entire building is hers.
The subway station is nearby.
It'll be worth a lot.
My goodness.
She could've at least bought new slippers with all the money she earned.
Look at this piece of garbage.
Wait. Is this the scent of Samjang?
From what I hear, she should smell like a lotus flower.
Jeez.
Is this just her foot odor?
Is this the scent of a lotus flower?
Is it? I can't tell.
A lotus...
Is it not?
The scent of a lotus flower...
It smells nice at first, but...
Is it a rotten lotus...
This is highly inappropriate.
Yes! That's what I'm talking about.
I love it.
The scent of a lotus flower!
I'll have my entire body smell like this.
If only I can stick it on my nose...
Tape. I need some tape!
I'll come back some other time.
Thank you for the coffee.
Crazy bastard.
Shit.
Open the door! Come on!
I made an ass out of myself.
I'm such a fool.
I'm so embarrassed.
-So did you meet Samjang? -No, I wasn't able to.
I just embarrassed myself in front of her employee.
Hold on. He must have recognized me from TV.
What if he posts about this online?
-Should I kill him? -Yes, please...
No, forget about it.
I know where Samjang is,
so let's go for now.
Let's leave.
-Let's go then. -Yes, ma'am.
You, stop right there.
I got you now.
You're the crazy bitch who yelled at me earlier.
Finally, I found you.
You asked for this!
What the...
You'd better watch it. I'll kill you the next time we meet.
What was that?
I thought you knew how to defend yourself,
but all you have is that umbrella.
My phone and security cameras...
-They are all the protection I need. -Fine.
Even though it's impossible,
let's just say that you do remember my name.
Why didn't you call me?
The one who ran off is angry that I didn't call him.
I don't like being called useless. It's demeaning.
I need to know for sure, so say my name.
Fine, I will.
Your name is...
Yes, Han-ju.
I'm sorry I missed your call.
-I ran into someone I know. -Hang up already.
You and I are still talking.
No, it's not anyone important.
Sure. I'll be right there.
Someone not important was waiting for you to hang up.
What was that for?
For letting you know that I have a leg up on you.
Your life had been easy so far because you thought I couldn't call you.
But now you know that I might be able to,
so stay frosty.
Then call my name.
Get it wrong and you're dead.
You still called me fairy, so I was going to keep it a fairy tale.
But you've gone too far.
Do you want this fairy...
to make the fairy tale into
a bloody horror story?
Fine. I don't remember your name.
I was bluffing.
Is this what I get for greeting a familiar face?
Haven't you ever thought about me who could actually call for you?
Of course I haven't.
I knew it was impossible.
I see.
And here I waited...
twenty-five years for that fairy.
I wondered if he'd come to protect me.
I waited desperately.
The happy ending of a fairy tale in which you star in...
The false hope I had for 25 years is finally crushed.
I already told you years ago that I'm not a fairy.
Yes, you did.
I don't know...
why I waited for you.
I heard you gave this kettle to General Winter.
She's warm and adorable, so we'll get along fine as well.
Instead of ice cream today,
I'm craving some booze.
For escaping the Marble Mountains,
you've been prohibited to drink.
On a day like this,
I could drink a dozen jars.
Did something upsetting happen today?
I met a kid I used to know who's all grown up now.
She's left me in a weird state.
You must've wronged her in some way.
I did, but I'm not sorry about that.
She said she waited for me desperately
for 25 years.
I don't know what it is, but something about it is eating at me.
This is what desperation is.
Let's say you haven't been allowed to do something for 25 years.
Then you can't forget about it,
and you long for it even more.
You didn't have to give me the perfect example.
I'm sorry.
I need to get rid of this feeling.
I'm going to find Samjang as soon as possible
and eat it up.
Yes, Han-ju.
I'm here.
I'll be right up.
She was with the man who took out your husband.
What's that?
It's an evil spirit.
It's like the one that bit me before.
Oh, no. I'm bleeding.
I can smell Samjang's blood.
-Samjang's blood. -The smell of Samjang's blood.
-Samjang's blood. -Samjang's blood.
February 3rd, Paris, France.
February 6th, London, England.
February 11th, Austria...
February 15th, Barcelona, Spain.
On the 20th...
-Mr. Fairy? -Jin Seon-mi.
Did you
come to protect me?
I saw a human with the blood of Monk Samjang.
I left a mark that looks like this on Samjang's body.
Are you...
really Samjang?
Damn it!
He found Samjang as well.
Did you...
really come to save me?
No.
I came to eat you.

A KOREAN ODYSSEY
-This is where you close your eyes. -I won't give up on this life.
Samjang?
Please save me.
She's a total nuisance.
The Geumganggo...
It's called Geumganggo.
-It'll go where it's supposed to. -Take my hand.
What will happen
-will happen. -What?
An opportunity presented itself.
-Son... -Only you can
-O-gong! -call for me now.
Goodbye.
