Now...
we should put an end to this love.
I don't want to take it off.
I want to keep loving you. It's what I want.
Our destiny has been decided already.
I heard the love bell ring.
Will you marry me?
Then you won't be able to run away from me
even after removing Geumganggo.
Jin Seon-mi. Hold onto me even tighter.
The Great Sage, Son O-gong,
protect me until the very end.
I think I'm in love with you like crazy.
Why would you miss me?
Because I'm so freaking in love with you.
I love you, Jin Seon-mi.
-What is this? -Geumganggo.
Did you really come to save me?
No, I came to eat you.
Don't tell me you've been looking for me all those years.
It took you a long time to finally show yourself.
Call my name when you're in danger or scared.
Then I'll show up and protect you.
We're bound by Geumganggo,
but if one of us is destined to kill the other,
you must run away from me, O-gong.
LOTUS VILLAGE HEALTH CENTER
What is going on?
This child's blood will save people.
What you're witnessing
is the birth of Samjang.
I see that you are this Samjang's protector.
I wanted to show you
the first day of the new Samjang's life.
It's because
I want you to protect her until the end.
Don't let her go.
-What are you doing? -I'm taking Geumganggo off.
I said I'll keep it on.
I'm giving you a chance
to find your freedom.
No.
EPISODE 16
Would they mind if I brought them food?
The great egret has visited Waterfall Cave.
-Don't do this. -I'm going to.
Why? Are you afraid that you'll kill me?
That's right. This is the only way I can protect you.
Is that why you stayed in that coffin? Are you stupid?
Yes, I'm that stupid, you jerk!
I didn't do that.
Did I do that?
I did this?
I wouldn't break these no matter how angry I am.
You broke all the priceless ones.
I can do this kind of thing?
Since when?
Is it the residual power
-from when Asanyeo possessed your body? -Is it?
It's plausible
since I have the memories from when she was in my body.
She didn't drink the wine you offered
-nor let you light the candle. -That's right. You remember everything.
Also...
She drank a potion.
That's right...
No.
You're right, but no.
I can't believe she did that to my man. That bitch.
That was awesome!
You're right.
I guess I am awesome now.
I've lost my powers.
O-jeong prepared all of this,
but it's all ruined now.
I know.
He did a great job.
What a shame.
You know,
we're not a match made in heaven.
The bell
is a death bell.
I was scared
and in agony
-to face you again. -Even now?
I know why you wanted to stay
-in that dream. -It was my own way
of protecting you.
I didn't have any other powers.
What are you talking about? You're Samjang.
You have the power to kill me because you're special.
Starting today,
I'm going to study every way that you can kill me.
I'll do my best to avoid them all.
So don't be scared.
All right.
Don't you dare die at my hands.
Right now,
I feel like I'm dying though.
I'm dying inside since we did nothing
on our first night together.
You're killing me with that smile.
Hey, don't you smile.
You will make my heart burst.
You should go.
My heart will really burst if I stay here with you any longer.
Come on. I'll take you home.
How on earth did I shatter this?
Did Samjang leave?
Yes. What are you doing here?
I was on my way to bring you some food, but instead, I looked around the garden.
You should've come in instead of gardening.
There's not much to do anyway.
I didn't think it was appropriate for me go in.
Nothing like that happened.
While you're here, clean out my room.
Sure. I'll get right on it.
O-gong,
the great egret came by Waterfall Cave earlier.
-The great egret? -Yes.
It was here?
Then it wasn't a random animal.
Of course not.
It's the birth of Samjang.
Was it the egret who showed me
that vision?
What was it about?
It said it was the birth of Samjang.
It's odd though.
Seon-mi became Samjang because she set me free.
What did it mean by the birth?
It could be just as it is.
She was born as Samjang.
That's even weirder.
The great egret...
What on earth did it show me?
I hear a baby crying.
That's right. I heard it in my vision.
I hear it right now.
What?
It's a baby.
The great egret must've brought it.
Did you father a child
in just a day's time?
No, of course not.
The great egret left the baby in the garden of Waterfall Cave.
But why does this baby
look like...
you?
Don't be ridiculous. How can a baby be born in a day?
And I slept through the whole night
because of the potion that I gave to Asanyeo.
Right. What happened to her?
Unfortunately, I lost Asanyeo.
You lost her?
-How did that happen? -You know I've become weak.
Is it that bad?
Yes. And I'm still suffering from the side effects.
I even got hit by a lot of stars. Gosh, I'm so cold.
I'm like a bull without horns.
I'll catch her.
You should get some rest until your horns grow back.
Your horns will grow again. Don't worry.
Hey, the baby. You should take the baby.
What am I supposed to do with the baby?
He always leaves me with something troublesome.
My gosh.
If O-gong catches Asanyeo,
he'll find out that you let her go.
Do you think Queen Mother's child really died?
I'll keep her alive until I make sure
what she said is true.
That cunning wench made you have doubts for nothing.
The doubts might turn out to be true.
It may be slim,
but there is a chance that her child is still alive.
I won't trust anyone until the doubts are resolved.
Not even Son O-gong?
Right. Not even him.
I must doubt everything.
Are you
here to deceive me?
Don't you dare to hypnotize me with that cute face of yours.
It's not going to work.
I'm Devil King Woo.
Hey, peek-a-boo.
You just grabbed my finger.
Ms. Ma, go get a rattle.
I'll give this baby whatever he wants.
You're smiling, you cutie.
What are you doing? Go get one.
Sweetheart, you have such pretty hands.
You're smiling.
How long should I wait?
I think we need to talk.
I have a lot of questions to ask.
What is it that you want to know?
Who are you? And what can you do?
I want to know all these things.
I'm too tired to tell you all that.
Do you want me to take care of what the kid next to you is worried about?
She wants to get rid of
anyone who knows Akiko.
You helped me protect my family's secret from leaking out.
I'm very grateful for that.
Your great-grandfather, who was known as an independence activist,
received a medal from the Japanese Emperor.
I was surprised to find that out.
Let's say I don't know anything.
What happened in the past are best kept hidden.
I just want you to guarantee me a position.
If your family's secret is revealed,
it will be nothing but an obstacle when you enter politics.
I should get rid of the obstacle then.
Let's talk more over some tea.
There's something I want to show you.
It was found at the construction site.
It's an old stone coffin.
You wanted to know who I am
and what I can do for you.
Did it answer your questions?
You'll have to clean this up. I should get going.
Asanyeo's coffin was found
in the land owned by Kang Dae-seong's Korea Foundation.
He probably has the coffin.
Did she go there then?
Kang Dae-seong is not an ordinary man.
He is believed to occupy the highest position of the country in a few years.
Okay.
In this life,
I will summon a dragon again.
With it, I'll crown a king.
She said that when she was in Samjang's body.
I guess she chose him.
Anyway, it's highly possible that she's around that man.
It's a message from the group chat room.
I haven't got a message from them for a while.
What?
Richie sent a message
-in the group chat room. -What?
Hello, everyone?
"Hello?" What the hell is she up to?
Hello, sweetheart.
You're so cute.
Wait.
Hello, everyone?
I don't have to tell you who I am, do I?
I have to admit she has a strong mentality.
She's strong.
For those who might be confused,
I'm Asanyeo.
I don't think she's sane.
If anyone of you know where Mr. Son is now,
please send me a message.
Or you could tell him where I am now.
She must be calling me out because she has something in mind.
CHEF'S SPOON
You bitch.
The wind...
Where did the wind come from?
That little...
Ms. Jin.
Are you going to see Mr. Son?
Yes, I am.
Ms. Jin, I just can't help but ask this question.
Is Mr. Son related to someone
who makes phones like this?
I guess you saw him.
Someone close to him does that.
I knew it. I really did.
I thought Mr. Son looked somewhat like an upscale person.
You're just amazing.
I'll always be loyal to you.
You got a ring from him.
Does that mean you're marrying into a rich family... What?
You're not wearing the ring.
He took it.
Then that night when you went to see him,
were you offered money to break up with him?
Did you get water splashed on your face too?
Are they against the marriage?
Yes.
Those up above...
are really against it.
Didn't you say you'll go see him?
I don't think I have to go.
Get back to work now.
This isn't exactly the perfect place to die.
This is a great date spot.
I looked it up.
Everything is so convenient these days.
Right, you should also enjoy the convenience of online shopping.
Try typing "coffin" in the search engine.
Or, do you just want to reuse the coffin you were in?
I guess you're not in the mood for a date.
Had I known you'd be like this,
I should've lit scented candles and had some wine with you that night.
Then the moment I drank the potion
would've been quite romantic.
I'll put scented candles and a bottle of wine in the coffin.
You shouldn't treat me like this.
It'll only put Samjang in danger.
I ate something dangerous when I was inside her body.
Something dangerous? Like what? Hey.
That day, you had a bowl of soup,
two sweet pancakes that Han-ju bought at the market,
and an ice cream cone. That's all.
I told you that I'd be keeping an eye on you.
I bet you don't know about O-gong number two.
Hey.
Is that how you were going to fool me?
I'm disappointed.
I'll never touch Samjang again.
I'll lock you up inside your coffin so that you can never touch her again.
Enough playing.
Let's go now.
Devil King was the one who let me go.
I promised him that I'll help him.
Devil King let you go?
That's right.
I did.
Just let her go.
So you could be that confident since he's got your back.
Now, it makes more sense.
I clearly told you that I'll rip this girl to pieces.
I spared her her life because she could be useful.
If I'm wrong,
I'll make sure I catch her.
All right, then.
Let's hear what you have to say.
And you, I'll see you next time.
Just so you know, your powers won't take care of the bills this time.
so run away or something.
Devil King.
Please pay my...
I've been fooled.
I just realized that I might have been used
like a stupid dog.
I think Asanyeo is bullshitting you.
In order to tame me,
those in the Spiritual Realm have been fooling me about my child
and bullshitting me all along.
No, Asanyeo is the one
who's bullshitting you to use you.
No, my child is alive.
-They've been hiding it from me. -You've watched too many dramas.
Wait, what if they
-killed my child? -Is it turning into a thriller now?
I must get back at them for what they did to my son.
Devil King, please. Calm down already.
Why should I?
I don't even know whether my son is alive or not.
How the heck can I calm down?
You'll wake the baby up. Keep it down, please.
I'm sorry, sweetheart.
The more I think about it,
the more my suspicion grows.
You don't even know if Queen Mother
was able to save your son's life.
That's the only way they could've fooled you.
Quiet.
That's precisely why I'm going to get Asanyeo
to find out what happened.
Yes, of course.
Asanyeo totally got you
by telling you about your son.
Wouldn't you feel the same way if you were me?
It's my son, my child.
-Yes, sweetheart. -So what?
Move. Hey, what's up?
Are you laughing at me?
Hey.
Do that again.
Why?
He stopped crying. Say it again.
No, I don't want to.
You don't want to say it again? Then what about this? Do it.
Hell no. That's even weirder.
All right. Then... Yes, of course. Look at me! Do that. Come on.
Are you crazy? No way!
Hey, he likes it. Do it just once.
Get in.
-Where are we going? -You need to keep your last promise.
And if I don't want to?
I can make you very famous.
During the 30 seconds I drag you into this car,
you'll become famous.
You can't have people recognize you if you're going to keep doing evil deeds.
Where did she go?
Oh, wait!
Go in.
This was Richie's wish.
Let her say goodbye to her mom.
But what if I don't shed even a drop of tear?
Won't it hurt that woman's feelings?
That won't happen.
She's unconscious.
Richie...
I mean, while looking for Jung Se-ra,
her mom's illness worsened.
She did nothing
but looked for her daughter,
and it made her collapse.
I'm too busy for this.
This girl's body is very weak.
I'm barely hanging in.
Do you know how?
You must know what zombies have to do not to rot away.
You once tried to catch Samjang for this girl to eat.
Making sure this body doesn't rot away is keeping me so busy.
If you want to help,
go catch a human and bring it to me.
Has Richie
turned into something evil?
Yes, sweetie. I know.
-My sweetheart. -You're good with babies.
Who's this baby anyway?
How would I know? You're the one who brought him.
You said the great egret left him here.
Do you know anything about Seon-mi's childhood?
How did you find her when you sent her to the Marble Mountains?
Did someone pick her for you?
No, that's not what happened.
I was on the lookout for special humans
and found her.
-She was very famous. -Seon-mi?
That's why Jonathan wants to make a movie about her.
Wooja. Haven't you read the article about it?
On what ground?
A doctor?
What you're witnessing
is the birth of Samjang.
I wanted to show you the first day of the new Samjang's life.
I'd like to meet that doctor.
LOTUS VILLAGE HEALTH CENTER
Oh dear, look at all this drool.
That's dirty, sir.
It's fine.
Babies are so fascinating.
They're cute even when they drool
and even when they poop non-stop.
If you had a child,
you would have been a great father.
My child...
It could be a lie Asanyeo told to dupe me.
But you know,
ever since I heard that the child could be alive,
I desperately wished that
it was true.
The likelihood is very low.
You lost your composure.
I know. Peek-a-boo.
If the child is alive,
even if they really deceived me for 1,000 years,
I can forgive them.
Peek-a-boo. Hello.
Devil King, let's see the baby.
You didn't buy any diapers?
You never take responsibility for what you bring.
Be gentle, will you? Gosh.
LOTUS VILLAGE HEALTH CENTER
It was bait to call me.
I'll take him.
Right now?
He was just fed and about to go to sleep.
Say your farewells.
He can't understand anyways, so keep it short.
Farewell?
Come on...
You just barged in and...
-My goodness. -Hurry up.
Okay, fine.
Oh dear.
Must I say goodbye already?
Hurry up and put them in there.
Take him.
He's gone.
He's such a cold-hearted jerk.
It's so hard to part with a baby I had for a half a day.
I can't imagine how much Ja-eun suffered
all on her own.
If the Spiritual Realm took the baby she revived,
I will not forgive them.
Devil King, you made a full recovery.
You're really powerful.
Not at all.
I'm very weak compared to my old self.
I guess so.
Back then, gosh, you were scary.
Now you're almost sweet.
Yes, I'm almost sweet.
Devil King.
I'll give you some good news in return for the snack.
The person who killed
Queen Mother's child in her last life
will be severely punished.
ACHIEVEMENT REPORT KIM SEON-YEONG
That's great.
Queen Mother won't have to suffer the pain
of losing a child anymore.
The child that caused such pain the first time...
How did it die?
She committed the crime of taking the souls of human children
to save our child.
My sole focus was to end her endless suffering.
I did not think of the dead child.
Tell me.
Queen Mother's punishment has ended.
That's all you need to know.
Go on as usual
and focus on becoming a deity.
Did the child
die for sure?
He did.
The child surely died.
I have an urgent meeting.
I'll share the snack with others.
There's no way he would tell me
the truth.
Is the peddler back?
She should be.
She's been nagging me through text messages.
Where did she go?
Didn't she go to get some kind of sword?
You overheard?
I'm gifted like that.
Don't waste it on petty things and do your job.
Stop nagging. There are no customers anyways.
Why are you like that?
Have some.
Why did you wire that much money without checking?
I saved it up all my life.
-What should I do? -I'll find it for you, so...
Excuse me. This might sound strange.
That lady.
I think she's going to get conned.
What?
You almost got into a huge trouble.
You can't send money just because you got a call.
I still have this power too.
When will she be back?
-What? -When will she be back?
She went to the bank. She will be back soon.
Is that baby...
-No, it's not. -No, right?
I thought for a moment
that you'd brought the baby here to tell her you're married with a kid.
What?
Didn't you decide to break up with Ms. Jin
-because your family disapproves? -Says who?
Then why did you take back her ring?
The ring. I should get it back.
You'll get it back?
You should.
Shall I brew you some expensive coffee?
Forget it. Watch the baby for me.
If the baby cries, say "peek-a-boo."
Only if the baby cries.
What a relief.
I got your ring back. Now pay me.
You did nothing.
My grandma will be back soon.
I need to put back the money I took.
Why is she away for so long?
I don't know. She went to get some kind of sword.
A sword? What kind of sword is she looking for?
I don't know.
Grandma left the day when that woman visited the store and the pot broke.
It's been a while.
It must be very special.
The pot that shows misfortunes...
I saw
the world crumble down.
She saw it here.
Geumganggo came from here as well.
What's this about a sword?
Hey.
Call me as soon as your grandma comes back.
This?
Okay.
I have to say
you have guts and quite the audacity.
I can't believe you sought me out.
Well, you have been supporting me.
If you still want my support,
bring me evidence
that backs your claim.
You won't believe what I say anyway,
so I'll get you that evidence.
I just need some time.
Whose baby is this?
It's not mine. He doesn't even look like me.
Then why is he with you?
I'm on my way to return him.
-Come with me. -Where?
Where you were born.
-Why? -Someone called for me.
Let's go to her and hear about your birth.
You might've been
chosen as Samjang long before you met me.
Since birth.
I was born a cursed child.
My parents died,
and so did the people in my village.
Everyone hated and feared me
saying that I was cursed.
That's why my own uncle avoids me.
I know.
Let's find out the truth about you.
We'll see if you're really cursed or not.
-This place... -I know.
You were born here.
It's where my parents
and a lot of the village people
died as well.
Let's head inside.
You brought him back safely.
Thank you.
You did well.
It's not your time to be born yet,
so I'm sorry for the trip.
Seon-mi, you're all grown up now.
I was here when you were born.
Really? But you look so young...
I see.
You're not human.
That's right.
She's the one who asked me to bring you here.
I am the great egret.
Do you know me?
I know your grandmother.
She adored her special granddaughter.
Really?
So why did you ask me here?
I wanted you to know
that you're not cursed.
The epidemic broke out of nowhere
and swept the entire village.
The village was small,
so all the patients ended up here.
Infected patients dropped like flies,
and we were quarantined.
One patient was a full-term pregnant woman.
I knew the moment she arrived here
that she was going to give birth to a savior.
The mother died,
but the baby lived.
Its blood saved the patients.
We were soon clear of the disease.
No one knows this,
but you saved people the moment you were born,
Samjang.
I saved them?
Your destiny
has been determined since birth.
Although, the scent of your blood
was only added after you met your guardian.
But...
How do you know all this?
I've been waiting for Samjang to be born
for a very long time.
Thank you for telling me.
I've been scared
that everyone around me would suffer because I'm cursed.
It's comforting to know the truth.
Whatever you do,
it will be an act of salvation and not the opposite.
Thank you for bringing her here.
I've never walked this path
with a spring in my step.
I was either alone,
or accompanied by kids who threw stones at me.
Do you feel happy?
I guess. My destiny wasn't brought on by you.
I'm happy to know that whatever happens to me
will not be your fault.
Aren't you scared anymore?
I'm not.
I feel like I'm someone special,
and it's nice to have powers.
Once I'm stronger,
I'll be fearless just like you.
I never said I'm fearless.
You scare me all the time.
You said that I was your only weak spot.
I hate that.
Once I'm stronger...
I'll take this off you.
If you don't find me pretty after I take this off you,
just run away.
However, if you find me pretty even a little bit,
I will hold on to you tight.
Let's go.
You know, I think my grandma knew
that you'd come back to me.
I told her about you,
and she said that you'd come back.
Your grandmother
was good friends with that doctor.
That's right.
Son O-gong,
I'm sure you have more questions.
I'm so sorry. You should've gone home first.
It's all right. I was just about to leave.
Gosh!
You got it back.
What?
Your ring.
Mr. Son must've given it back.
I gave him quite the earful.
"Even if anyone disapproves,
love should conquer all.
Let's go!"
Let's go.
That's when he gave it back.
You came back.
You didn't tell me anything that I need to know.
You're right. There's something you should know
as Samjang's guardian.
-What are you? -Like you,
I was once Samjang's guardian.
They will send Samjang to this world when a great catastrophe is near.
Jin Seon-mi can't be the first.
-What else? -A sword will show up.
With that sword, you will have to stab Samjang.
Like I did
a long time ago.
Kang Dae-seong Enters Politics
A powerful evil spirit
created by people's evilness will appear.
Samjang will take it with her life.
That is Samjang's mission.
And then?
With the sword, you will kill her and the evil spirit
and prevent the world's destruction.
That was why
the death bell rang.
Why are you telling me this?
To ask you a favor.
When you get the sword,
help me die too.
Without him,
having to live this long life alone
is too painful for me.
Thanks to you, I got rid of an obstacle
that was in my way.
I can do much more.
Does the things you can do
include summoning a dragon to crown a king?
You want to
become a king.
Then you must see someone first.
Who?
For me to do what you want,
I need this woman's power.
Make her yours.
Then I must meet her.
You will soon.
You said you're looking after Jung Se-ra's mother.
Because she's in need.
I made a mistake, so I must look after her.
You care for the mother of the one you killed.
You'll become an evil king.
This girl's mother...
Are you no longer pleased to see me?
I don't want to have terrible thoughts when I see you,
-so I will never see you again. -Mr. Jeo, I went to see the mother.
Let's just go, Piggy.
Thanks to you, this girl's desperate wish came true.
Thank you.
-Are you trying to use me again? -Yes.
I need a favor.
Help me see Samjang.
You're just going to talk to her, right?
If you put her in danger and O-gong shows up, you'll be dead.
I know that.
I won't be meeting her.
Who are you setting her up with?
Are you okay?
I sensed something strange.
Yes, I'm okay.
But I feel strange.
You're back, Grandma.
Yes. I was away for a while.
What's that?
Is that what took you so long to find?
It's for an important day.
I'm getting a strange vibe from the Spiritual Realm.
It's them up there.
They must be up to something.
Even if it turns out to be true that you've been deceived,
you shouldn't act in haste and get back at them.
Your powers are very weak.
You're right.
I have grown weak.
I don't have the power to wreak havoc up there. However,
there's a simple way
to be more powerful than I've ever been.
-What... -Samjang.
I just have to eat her myself.
But the Great Sage protects her.
Only when he wears the bracelet.
When I get rid of what I got her in the first place,
I'll be able to
get rid of her guardian.
If I were really fooled for 1,000 years,
I'd do anything to get my revenge.
Don't you think I should?
Earlier today,
I saw the vision I once did when the pot broke.
Recently,
I've been foreseeing the future.
You must be getting stronger.
It's as if a destined future is coming our way.
There's something I didn't tell you.
The doctor we met
was the guardian of a former Samjang.
-Just like me. -Really?
What happened to them?
They...
did their jobs so well
that they received
a huge reward and became deities.
Really? That's great.
Will I become one too?
That's the least of it.
Make sure you ask for the maximum.
They once said they'd promote me,
but locked me up in a field of peaches.
-They can be dirty. -A field of peaches?
I remember.
It's when you were popular among fairies. Didn't you say they fought over you?
Let's not talk about that.
Anyway,
that'll be our fate too.
Right. Let's make sure it happens.
But...
if one vanishes
and the other ends up alone,
I think the latter will be sadder than the former.
It'll be more agonizing.
Especially if you don't know
when you'll die too.
Don't you want to live a sweet long life
with me?
I don't know.
You're a man without a job.
I'll ask O-jeong to give me a job at his company.
Actually, it's fine. I'm quite rich.
You don't have to work.
All right. I'll be jobless forever then.
But right now,
I need to do something.
I need encouragement.
When I'm distressed, scared,
or in danger,
I will call for you.
See you.
It's the sword you'll need for that day.
Good job.
I've done my job.
Finally, Samjang's sword has arrived!
-Samjang's sword is back. -Why all of a sudden?
That means a catastrophe is near.
Is that it?
This...
The Great Sage.
It's not yours to take yet.
It will be, though.
So you knew.
The great egret came by Waterfall Cave.
That sword can't be destroyed
because it's for Samjang's mission.
Samjang will be sacrificed. You, the Great Sage,
will take that sword and drive it through her.
But don't you worry.
When that moment comes,
Geumganggo will cease to exist. By then,
killing her won't make you suffer any pain.
When it's done,
you will be freed from the punishment
that has been torturing you
all this time.
Bullshit.
The sword
is now in the guardian's hands.
What does he plan to do with it?
You found it.
Now,
lend me the sword as promised
so that I can end my life.
I see that you are wearing Geumganggo.
So even if
you're left alone in this world like me,
you'll be able to save yourself from the misery.
Because I have it on,
I have no idea how severe the pain
and suffering will be
once I take it off.
That's what
-scares me the most. -I hope you don't
end up like me.
I will never end up like you.
Now...
I want to end this.
Will Samjang live without the sword?
Of course.
However, it can't be destroyed.
What if O-gong doesn't wield it?
If he wants to protect her without it,
he'll have to fight with his life.
The sword which I'm destined to kill Samjang with
must be buried forever.
