I remembered.
I was a starving boy the villagers had abandoned.
My name was...
Izy.
And...
They got all that rice...
in exchange for the poor boy's life.
I had to burn it.
Dubhe.
Come to the human realm with me.
I was betrayed by my most trusted friend...
and was banished from the fairy realm.
A long-haired woman...
with flaming fingers.
I forgot.
I completely forgot what happened to her after getting kicked out.
Why they had to leave the fairy realm together,
and how they lived ever since.
I was Bausae of Dubhe.
And...
for some reason, I left the fairy realm,
leaving behind Alkaid, the woman I loved.
My dear Alkaid.
I must go back to her.
Professor!
Yes,
that's right.
I'm your professor.
Are you all right?
I looked for you everywhere.
Professor?
What should I call you now?
Repeatedly born as a human,
you mindlessly took everything...
that meant the most to me.
That's what you did, Dubhe.
I see you still don't remember.
You've been a clueless idiot...
while I had to suffer in pain.
It's dangerous. Please get out of there.
Professor Jung, you should get to safety too.
The waterfall is on fire!
I'm the one who set it on fire,
so what good would that do?
The entire world will be covered in flames.
Professor Jung...
Alkaid.
It's me.
Izy of Mizar?
Finally, after all these years,
you're calling me by my real name.
How...
How in the world...
(Episode 15)
What are you doing?
Mizar.
Oh, I mistook it for a handle.
Why did you have to do that to my precious hair?
Half-up styles are trendy these days.
That butterfly style is too old-fashioned.
Is that so?
I'm glad I chose to wear a hairpin wig for today.
Your mean behavior...
doesn't deserve even the scent of these flowers,
but I'm still giving you one each...
since you gave me information about what's trendy.
Thank you.
Flowers.
I bet you know nothing about pain.
Being raised in the flower bed of the fairy realm...
must not have taught you how deep and dark the bottom pit is.
Mizar, that's enough.
What do you mean?
You see only the beautiful sides of the world like this flower.
You only seek what's good and bright.
So you care nothing about what's not pretty. Aren't I right?
I wasn't sure.
I adored...
your bright and warm sides,
but those sides somehow hurt my pride.
Because...
I was never bright or warm.
I was envious and lonely.
Ms. Fairy. Professor Jung.
Stop now.
Why?
Mr. Geum is in danger.
And every living thing in here is burning to death.
So what?
- Please stop. - You...
never loved me even once.
You cared more about...
mere trees and flowers than me.
If I hadn't loved you,
how would I have been?
Don't hurt my mom!
This isn't what I intended. How embarrassing.
What have you done?
Master Gu.
You set this sacred pond on fire?
Put it out right now!
He's right.
This is the only path that connects immortals and human...
left in this human world.
- He's right! - So what?
What's so sacred about this pond...
that you're hiding this place from outsiders...
and letting only the noble immortals step foot?
When don't even care about those who thirst for water.
Master Gu.
I don't know why you're called a master,
but you aren't my master.
So stop telling me what to do.
Why that rude...
You heard what that rude punk just said?
Wait a second.
Why didn't I get that title when Master Gu did?
That's not important right now.
I mean, think about it. You didn't master anything.
My goodness.
You're afraid of fire, Master Gu?
So why did you give me such a hard time?
I don't know what you're talking about.
We met before.
You...
hunted me down.
I was banished from the fairy realm...
and took the form of a deer.
I couldn't rest as I was always being chased.
Get away from there.
Because of the fires you set in the human realm,
do you know how many trees, deities, lakes and mountains were lost?
My only crime...
was trying to drink from a lake.
Darn it.
Save me.
A hunter is trying to kill me.
Come here.
Hide behind the stack of wood.
An evil deer must've gone by.
Did you miss it?
Can you talk?
It's okay now. The hunter's gone.
His hair was black and he'd lost his memory,
but I could tell right away he was Bausae of Dubhe.
This is how you're living.
Why are you talking to me like that?
Why are you dressed like that? Don't you have decent clothes?
You were a fashion leader in the fairy realm.
What's "fashion"?
Is my outfit that strange?
I think it's okay.
You've lost your memory,
but you still have the virtues of an immortal.
Do you really have no memories of the fairy realm?
What's the fairy realm?
I still have clear memories of how you betrayed me,
but you lost yours so easily.
Do me another favor.
Get one of those robes and put it on my back.
What?
Those clothes belong to the fairies.
Do you think all those clothes belong to them?
They belonged to me, so put one on my back.
Something that long belongs to you?
Please help me.
You're suddenly so polite.
I had to return to the fairy realm.
I thought it was too unfair that I had to stay...
on the run in a deer's body.
But after the butterflies gained life and flew away,
the winged dress lost its power and became an ordinary robe.
- But... - Sisters!
That's where I saw Alkaid.
Alkaid looked straight at us.
No. To be exact,
she saw Dubhe who now was in human form.
If you don't mind wearing my clothes, you can.
Dubhe, you took everything that I'd wanted.
Even once, did you stop to think...
how I was living?
What should we do?
Professor.
- Fairy Seon! - No!
- No! - No!
- Don't go in there! - No.
Mr. Geum.
After you died, on your grave,
a few peonies bloomed.
Mother.
What will happen to Father now?
Your father...
has returned to the form he took before he was born.
Honey.
You hung this before you left.
It's so beautiful.
You gave me so many warm and happy memories.
Thank you so much.
If we meet again,
then I hope...
My wife.
Are you hurt?
I had resented Dubhe,
but I hadn't wanted to hurt him.
I only...
All I wanted was...
Are you all right?
Mizar!
I mean, Professor Jung.
Please, put out the fire.
You will end up...
severing the only bridge between this world and fairy realm.
All fairies will eventually disappear.
We will seize to exist as well.
Professor.
I know very well that this isn't what you want.
You do not want to hate or resent.
You have to relieve the anger and forgive.
That's why you're always in pain.
It hurts.
I'm exhausted.
I have been born again and again...
but the pain stays with me every time.
I don't want to hate, so help me.
This place...
and me.
Make it all disappear.
After the death of Dubhe,
I often visited his grave.
Jeom Soon, look.
No, don't go!
Why didn't it stay?
The girl's hand had no pinky...
and her hair was disheveled.
Deer, you're back!
No, wait!
Here you go. This potato is delicious.
Even though she didn't remember her father's face,
she missed him dearly.
Everyone, step back.
Master Gu, don't!
This is the only way, Alkaid.
No, don't shoot!
How on earth did you know to bring this?
He's right. Just stop it. We'll all die at this rate.
If I don't stop him now, we will all perish.
Someone must end this.
Master Gu, don't!
You killed me first.
No one ever...
took my side.
That's not how it was supposed to be.
Darn it!
This is so embarrassing!
Isn't that Ms. Bong Dae?
It's a ghost!
Ms. Bong Dae, Ms. Cho, a guardian deity,
and now a ghost. I'm none of those things.
I am...
Master of the Southern Star.
It took me a while to get here because of these heels.
Isn't she the coffee truck owner?
The guardian deity?
Ms. Cho!
You sure are a fine young man.
Wait. Me?
Shiny blue scales and sharp claws.
A big horn and a sleek bodice.
You are the greatest of all scaled animals.
You can control rain, clouds, thunder, and lightning.
Is she teasing him for being a spoon-worm?
What's that?
My gosh!
Welcome.
(Barista)
What do you want?
Two cups of coffee.
What kind of coffee?
Professor, what should we have?
What's this?
Take your time.
I can stand and wait all day,
then drink my coffee tomorrow. Right?
That's right. The day after works too.
Just look at this. The clinic doctor said that...
the cartilage in this knee's all gone.
What's going on?
Black Water sounds least silly.
Everything is exactly like last week.
What on earth happened?
Was it all a dream?
Inhale, exhale.
Tighten your abdomen and inhale.
Then exhale.
What?
How do you feel?
You feel better now?
- Aren't you the coffee truck owner? - No, no.
You heard it earlier.
I'm the Master of the Southern Star.
Master of the Southern Star?
The sister of the Master of the Northern Star?
Right, that's me.
What's going on?
Where am I?
The right question is, "When is it?"
Isn't that what's confusing you?
That's right.
Everything's unbelievable.
I see.
In short,
we're currently in this universe,
free from space and time.
This is just a dotted, big egg.
You and your suspicions.
You're right. This is an egg.
Everything that happened in humanity.
Life and death.
Rise and fall of countries. Wars.
Knowledge learned by humanity.
Beautiful poems and songs.
Everything...
is in this mere, tiny egg.
I can tell you don't trust me.
Follow me and see it for yourself.
Where are we going?
Tell me our destination first.
How tiring.
We're going to see my brother, Master of the Northern Star.
This place is...
Right.
It's the path to the Fairy Falls in Mount Gyeryong.
Did we just teleport through space?
Let's say we teleported through time and space.
We're in the time of the Japanese invasions of Korea.
Let's see.
Gosh, it's heavy.
Don't just stand there. Help me move the stones.
Move that one over there.
I'm not good at carrying heavy stuff.
Then move some of the small ones.
There.
There used to be a few paths...
that connected the two realms other than the Fairy Falls.
But a series of wars destroyed many of them.
This is a message for immortals, fairies and deities in the mountain.
In order to protect the Fairy Falls from the future war,
I've used a protective enchantment.
From now on, you should enter this place...
through the gate built by me, the Master of the Southern Star.
This is how...
we will protect and maintain...
the sacred Fairy Falls...
that connect the two realms.
How is this possible?
This isn't just my power.
I waited a very long time for this egg to break...
and for the door between dimensions to open.
I'm telling you the truth.
I didn't say anything.
Now let's head to the place...
which you must face again.
I'll show you.
You can't sleep at night.
You resent your past.
You're unsure about your future.
You're full of despair and hatred.
It's all because...
of your ignorance.
There, look.
Don't be scared.
Kid, I brought some porridge for you.
The villagers looked down on that woman...
for her hideous looks.
You took your revenge on the villagers,
but not her. You couldn't find her.
Children were often abandoned due to starvation around this time.
While peeling acorns in the kitchen,
she thought of a girl abandoned in the shrine.
She then happened to imagine...
someone else's pain.
And it soon became her own pain.
Due to draught, acorns were all she had to eat.
She made porridge with them and ran to the shrine.
She couldn't stand the hunger and loneliness of the girl...
as much as her own.
If her porridge had saved your life,
you wouldn't have turned out like this.
If I go back in time...
and make her run a little faster,
I'll be ignoring the principle of causality,
but perhaps, I'll be able to change the future.
Now, watch.
Kid, I brought some porridge for you.
No!
Again.
Kid...
No!
No...
Again.
That's enough.
You might kill her.
Isn't that what you wanted?
Your life's goal was to take revenge on the villagers.
She's one of those people who put you to death.
Still, she...
Hey.
Are you okay? Hey!
Hey.
This person will die today...
and will be reborn as Bausae of Dubhe.
Try as you might,
we're caught in a dimensional prison.
There's no escape.
Bausae.
You made numerous crazy dashes...
and gave your life to save a dying boy.
You and I are one and the same.
This place is the same as across the river.
The sky and earth are one. When you realize that,
you will be able to overcome the physics of man...
and return to the realm of the immortals.
Hey. Wake up.
Is this the child you spoke of?
Yes.
Master of the Northern Star.
I would like you to take care of this child.
That is...
the acorn monk.
I spent many reincarnations here...
and saw all sorts of people.
But even after 1,000 years,
there's something I couldn't figure out.
Why do people resent each other?
And why do they forgive each other?
To save this boy,
this woman ran...
purely out of sadness and pity.
A question formed in my mind.
I would like you to answer it for me.
I ask that you take in these two children...
and make them immortals.
I am curious to find out what relationship they will form.
Flames can provide warmth for many,
and a kind heart can take flight and envelope many.
A brightness that makes flowers bloom...
will make everyone laugh.
I will pray that that is the relationship they have.
Master of the Northern Star. I must say something.
Will you make some noise before approaching?
My beard gets tangled when you're around and I look bad.
What is it now?
Izy of Mizar has dark blemishes all over her body.
She'll die if left alone.
Please forgive her and save her.
In return,
I'll give up my immortality.
You don't know what form you'll take...
in the human realm or how much suffering it will bring.
How can you say that so easily?
If it will save Izy,
I don't care what happens.
As you said, if Izy of Mizar is not stopped,
she will keep hating and resenting...
and her foolish mind will bring upon her own demise.
Banishing her...
would be a way to save her life,
but in return, you'll lose your immortality.
You will lose your memories as well.
You will live without memories of your past...
as a poor young man.
Then one day, you will meet Alkaid that you loved so much before.
You will marry and have two children...
and live happily together,
but you will die young and leave Alkaid alone.
Alkaid will never forget you...
and remain...
in the human realm for years, awaiting your reincarnation.
But she also will have lost her memory,
and will not recognize you even when she sees you again.
- Instead... - Jeom Soon.
She will meet a man who has your memories...
and believe he is her husband.
Are you my husband?
You will have to watch that with a broken heart.
Bausae.
What you wish to do...
is to truly comfort a broken soul.
When you realize others are like you...
and that their pain is also yours,
your sincerity will be able to touch that child.
Can you stay strong,
not give up or let go, and fight through this?
Brother, here you are.
I'll lose to you when we play,
so let's go home now. You've been upset too long.
What?
I didn't leave because I was upset I lost.
Do you think it's easy to restore order to the universe?
I'm sure it's not. I bet it's not.
It is time to return.
Southern Star, come with me to the future.
Master of the Northern Star.
You're here too.
Are you still hungry?
Yi Hyun.
To satisfy your hunger,
the whole universe moved for you.
Your coffees are ready.
Thank you.
The first item on Fairy Cafe's menu.
Deer's Tears.
Professor, why won't you drink yours?
Don't you like it?
You're too sweet.
Just to give me some porridge.
You followed me all the way here.
What are you doing?
I'll dry its wings so it can fly away.
What?
(Fairy Cafe)
Master.
Well done.
Good boy.
Professor Jung, do you have a pen?
I forgot something important.
Didn't you say you're going to the future?
Excuse me.
(Jeom Dol)
I need to go back 100 years.
What?
But...
I should've come here immediately,
but I took a wrong turn.
(Jeom Dol)
I'm so glad you're here.
It's good to have you back, Jeom Dol.
(Jeom Dol)
Jeom Dol.
My gosh.
What...
- It's raining! - Rain?
- Where is it coming from? - It's raining.
- It's putting the fire out. - She's right.
That's why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover.
You never know. I could be a dragon too.
Who cares if you're not?
Even if you're a spoon-worm,
I'd still think you're the most handsome.
Stop it already.
You don't want to start another fire.
Gosh, I'm already on fire!
Now you're both annoying the heck out of me.
Anyway,
you should be glad that I didn't show my true archery skills.
I knew it. I'm the best!
Ok Nam.
Ok Nam, how have you been?
How are you all here together?
My gosh, Dubhe!
My heart ached greatly after banishing you from the fairy realm.
Professor, are you all right?
Please say that you're all right.
Wait, hold on. Dubhe...
Geum, you idiot.
Get off me already!
Are you going for my neck?
I guess it's time for a group hug.
Alkaid's ability to grow plants and trees...
meets the warm wind of Dubhe...
and breathes life into the trees and the woods.
I guess there's nothing to worry about the Fairy Falls.
Brother, are we now returning back above?
Yes, we should.
Since you said it, we should go right now then.
I've been down here for too long.
Master of the Northern Star.
Please wait. I have something to ask.
Do you finally see me?
Dubhe, you've changed a lot.
I'm sorry, Master.
Whatever it is, ask away.
After losing her winged dress,
Alkaid got trapped in the mortal realm...
for 699 years.
How can she return to the fairy realm?
This is all my fault.
I stole her winged dress,
and it's the reason why she got stuck in this world.
The moment I touched her winged dress,
due to the power of wind,
the butterflies on it flew away.
Please tell me.
It's my fault Alkaid's been trapped here.
How can she get her winged dress back...
and safely return to the fairy realm?
He said that you already got your winged dress back...
and that you should check your closet at home.
I think I remember seeing a butterfly here.
Come to think of it, when I was at the clothing store...
picking out clothes for you...
What on earth was that?
Was I hallucinating?
My winged dress.
I've finally found it.
It's all thanks to you.
Ms. Fairy,
will you return to the fairy realm?
Jeom Soon told me this before.
You were raised up there from a young age,
so it's as good as your hometown.
That's why you miss everything from there.
She's right.
I miss it all dearly.
Don't go, Ms. Fairy.
Please don't go.
I may now remember being your husband,
but I am not as dashing as Dubhe used to be...
and people say I'm stubborn to the extreme.
I have poor sense of direction and can be dense.
At the university,
I don't make much since I'm still only a researcher.
I realize...
that I shouldn't hold back someone as stunning as you,
but...
I...
You're perfect...
just the way you are.
(Mama Fairy and the Woodcutter)
Have you...
regretted your decision to come down to the human realm that day?
Let's begin the autograph signing of Jeom Soon the Tiger.
Please tell me you're safe and sound.
You seem to have figured it out now.
She said she'd come back,
- but it's already been a year. - She'll come back.
Ms. Fairy,
I miss you so much.
