EPISODE 19
I love you.
Yes.
I love you.
You had that much bottled up inside?
Yes.
Why did I keep things bottled up?
I should've just poured it all out a long ago.
I should've told you I love you.
Jin Seon-mi.
There's something I want to brag about to you.
What is it?
Just something.
If I get a chance to show you,
you'll be so happy.
Okay.
When Richie confronted her murderer,
Asanyeo took possession of her body.
And now, she's helping the same man.
She's nothing but an evil spirit.
What?
Pal-kye went to meet Kang Dae-seong?
I tried to stop him, but he left saying that he'll kill him.
Asanyeo will kill Pal-kye if we don't intervene.
What?
Why would Piggy get killed?
She can't kill him. He's not that weak.
He can't use his powers now
because I sealed them.
I didn't know.
I just was just so angry that he kept getting fooled by the evil spirit.
He's one thing,
but if we don't do anything, everything O-gong has been working on will be...
God damn it.
-You have an unexpected visitor, sir. -A visitor?
This is unexpected indeed,
PK.
Kang Dae-seong.
Do you know
Jung Se-ra?
I'm asking you if you know her!
I'm sorry about this ruckus. It looks like Pal-kye
lost his composure.
What the heck is this about?
You know Jung Se-ra, right?
I heard that she's been staying here.
So what?
She was one of our trainees.
We do have to keep it discreet for PK's public image,
but the two of them were very close.
Long story short,
there was a rumor about PK dating Alice,
but he was actually in a relationship with someone else.
It's something like that.
Is that so?
The girl he likes has been staying here,
so I guess it got him all riled up.
I see.
By the way,
what is your relationship with Jung Se-ra?
A top star dating a trainee will surely be a gossip-worthy topic,
but this is a very important time for you.
If word gets out, your reputation will be greatly damaged.
Please don't get the wrong idea. Se-ra is...
She's the daughter of a patient whom Korea Foundation used to support.
Well, why don't we sit down and talk?
It's getting late.
We're the ones who just barged in here,
so we should leave. The problem between us...
can be sorted out another day.
Why did you spare his life?
Don't cause trouble.
Let's not complicate things.
I guess Samjang told you everything.
Use that smart brain of yours
to sort things out with that human.
How...
How could you...
How could you do this?
What were you thinking barging into his place like that?
Then get rid of this seal. Release my powers!
Can't you listen to my advice just once?
He'll die if you punch him right now.
This is precisely why I made sure you can't use your powers.
Don't do anything for the time being.
O-gong is putting his life on the line,
and I promised him that I won't get in the way. The two of you
must do as I say.
Then are you going to let those two live?
Asanyeo will die anyway.
We can take care of her when we get rid of the black dragon,
and Kang Dae-seong will lose everything.
Please don't cause any trouble until then.
The Great Sage is putting his life on the line?
That's right. He'll be dealing with the black dragon.
Even if everything goes well...
there's no guarantee
that he'll survive.
Hey, who are you?
Who are you to sneak into my room at this early hour?
I ended up here because a star candy fell from the sky.
When I opened my eyes, you were there. So I was watching you.
You're being so sweet so early in the morning. I can't handle it.
I should've thrown star candy at you from the beginning.
I guess I wasted my time
with ice cream and cotton candy.
The cotton candy was sweet and delicious too.
Shall we have a cup of tea together?
Remember the park where we had the cotton candy?
It won't be as cold there now, right?
Yes, probably.
Gosh, it was so cold that day.
But It was still nice.
I left a padlock there.
Do you think it's still there?
I guess. Why?
While I was watching you,
I thought about our happiest moment,
but there were too many.
There are a lot of things I want to do with you again.
It would be nice to watch a heartwarming movie you like,
and eat tteokbokki afterwards.
We'll read books together at the library,
and go grocery shopping.
We should've cooked a meal together, too.
Do you want more tea?
I loved our visit to the Lotus Village too.
Would we
meet the great egret there again?
Why?
Don't you think she would know what we have to do
in the future?
Maybe.
O-gong.
It's my mission to summon the evil spirit at the stream, isn't it?
And you must destroy it.
How do you think the former Samjang and the great egret solved this problem?
If you want to know, then go and ask her.
You should go.
She might've held back some details because I was there too.
You should go alone this time and ask again.
Okay. That sounds like a plan.
Take General Winter in case you run into trouble.
Sure.
I don't want to go to work today.
Were you going to go to work?
Could I just stay home?
No, go to work. You must work to make a living.
You always get back on your feet no matter what.
That's inspiring.
You were able to tie me down
because you're so tenacious.
Okay.
I'm going to be late! I should hurry.
I'll see you later.
Who cares if she's a little late? Honestly.
I'll find a place for you to stay.
I'll have the stone coffin transferred too.
You're a surreal being in my eyes,
so I didn't consider how this would look.
Sure thing.
Was Jung Se-ra
really the girlfriend of that celebrity?
The girl you killed
had feelings for him.
I may be crossing the line by asking,
but is Jin Seon-mi
the one who woke the dead body up?
-Does she have that kind of power? -I said we don't need her.
Unfortunately, she's getting on my nerves.
It's as if she can see right through me,
which is disturbing.
Do you see her
-as an obstacle? -I don't know what I feel.
I'll have to meet her once more.
I stopped Pal-kye from
killing both Kang Dae-seong and Asanyeo for now.
I should hurry.
I had to show myself to Kang Dae-seong,
but I still don't intend to join you on your mission.
Just stay out of my way.
O-gong.
You believe that if Samjang knows the truth,
she'll step forward
and try to complete her mission.
That's why you're hiding it from her.
However,
when she finds out
that she needs to give up her life,
she might say "I'm sorry," run away and leave you hanging.
She'd probably say "Thank you."
"Sorry" seems heartless.
Whatever she says,
you're still the one who has to take responsibility.
Devil King.
I'm sorry for being a nuisance.
Thank you for worrying.
Should I say "I love you" too? If you want, I will.
Stop trying to butter me up.
I still won't assist you in any way.
I have my son to think about,
so I'll only be kissing up to those up there.
Are you aiming to be a deity again?
Yes, a deity is what I'll become.
I'll sit at the highest rank,
have everyone at my feet,
and find my son.
I've come up with a plan,
so I won't go down with you.
Sure. Good luck to you too.
By the way,
what exactly will you be fighting the dragon with?
General Winter is almost done making auspicious weapons.
Among them is a sword.
And with that...
That's what I'll do.
With the energy collected from Kang Dae-seong's party guests,
we conjured a stone, a bell, and a dagger.
These will do.
You'll have them when you need them.
Aren't we on the same side?
You and I
lost each other's trust by stealing the incense burner.
They will be in my possession for now.
I'm here to continue our conversation
from the party.
You're not here to talk business.
You're here to assess who I really am.
That's right.
Last time, you came to me for the same reason.
So what's your conclusion?
If you have enough power, you could destroy this world.
Anyone who is willing to kill one person for his cause,
won't hesitate to wipe out many more.
So what you're saying is that
I'm going to rise to a position
with a lot of power.
Can I count on your vote then?
-Thanks. -Those who you belittle
have the power to knock you down.
Don't belittle them.
Now I get
why this mission is bestowed on a human.
For ordinary people to live in this ordinary world,
they created a special someone to protect them.
So?
What can someone so special do?
First, I can kick you out since you disgust me.
Please leave.
Don't you underestimate me!
It seems like I saw something important.
Thank you.
Kang Dae-seong went to see Samjang.
I can't let them cross paths again.
-O-jeong. -Yes?
Asanyeo's ritual
-should be held today. -I'll get it ready.
General Winter, look after Samjang.
Until the end of this day,
do not leave her side no matter what.
Of course.
Today?
Why the sudden rush?
I'm only
following O-gong's orders.
Any day is good for me.
When I say so,
Kang Dae-seong will come.
That's great. The quicker, the better.
I actually saw the dragon myself.
-You saw it? -When I met Jin Seon-mi,
I saw a vision through her.
Up until now, I thought it was just a symbolic ritual.
But now I believe it's real
and that it is mine.
If I get the dragon,
will I have the power to destroy the whole world?
You'll reach the top of the world with the energy of the dragon
and show off your power to the whole world.
You will have greater power and wealth
than any other kings.
I knew I was the chosen one.
What was that?
Will I call it out
and will O-gong get rid of it?
I heard it is very strong.
The doctor we met
was the guardian of a former Samjang.
Just like you and me.
The great egret survived.
It means O-gong can survive as well.
I was told to go with you to Lotus Village.
I was waiting for you. I'll be ready in a minute.
Ms. Jin.
Are you going to your hometown?
Yes. There's someone I must meet.
I'm sorry.
It's okay. Go ahead.
Wait.
There's something on your coat.
Stop crying.
Don't cry.
Gosh, come here.
Don't cry.
Stop it.
Han-byeol.
Why are you getting married so young?
I'm so sad because of that.
Dad.
Stop crying.
There are a lot of people. You're embarrassing me.
Let me take a picture of you two.
Please look at the camera.
Han-ju, when Han-byeol gets married in the future,
don't cry too much.
Gosh, I'm a very cool dad.
You look happy.
I guess a normal and happy world is possible.
I'm so glad.
I'll see you later.
Let's go.
If I get smashed into pieces and die,
just tell her that I ran away.
Tell her that I will never come back
as I got released from Geumganggo.
She'll believe that because of this.
The Spiritual Realm would like to make you a shocking offer.
Please find the sword that O-gong hid.
That sword
is probably locked away in the Waterfall Cave.
I'm sure
you can break the seal and find the sword.
If you do that,
we will make you a deity with no strings attached.
Are you telling me to betray O-gong?
How could I do that?
It's not betrayal.
You will help him.
Please stop insulting Devil King Woo.
Devil King promised Mr. Son that he wouldn't stand in his way.
He would never break his promise.
We'll make you a deity and offer a promotion.
He will never falter. Please leave.
Hey, by any chance do you have
some kind of master key which can open anything
or something that can find a sword?
Like a metal detector or something.
No.
Why do you need such things?
Master Subori came here and asked for the same thing.
What?
Don't tell him that I was here.
Fine. I'll give you money.
I was hoping to find a shortcut here,
but I ended up getting robbed.
Never mind. I'll give you a break this time
since you are a regular.
You called me "mister" the other day.
When I told my grandmother about that, I got in big trouble.
She says I can't call you "mister."
I guess the peddler does a good job teaching manners to you.
The top star pig just stopped by.
Pal-kye was here? What did he buy?
I can't tell you that for free.
All right. I'll pay you. What did he buy?
He bought a lighter. A strong one.
He said he's too weak now.
He bought it saying he must burn his own sister later.
That silly pig.
Maybe I should've gotten rid of the brand.
You have a lighter.
Can I borrow your lighter?
This is a magic lighter. You can't light up a cigarette with this.
I'm sorry.
Will he avoid meeting me?
I need you to give PK a message.
PK, you should go to the other studio now. They will check your outfit there.
Okay.
I called you.
-I have something to say. -I don't want to see you.
I'm not trying to help Kang Dae-seong. I'm trying to help O-gong.
That's why I can't kill you right now.
I went there that day to kill you.
You...
You said you wouldn't hurt me.
Now that I know you're not Richie, I can kill you.
She wouldn't want something like you
in her body.
You can't kill me.
O-gong is protecting me.
O-gong is not protecting you.
He's risking his life to protect Samjang,
so he's just letting you off.
The very sight of you disgusts me, so get lost.
Listen to me.
Are you carrying this so you can burn me up?
You said you want me
to keep this body safe and stay with you.
That's because you fooled me.
I'll kill you
and burn up Richie's body.
Like this?
As long as I'm in her body,
you can never burn it up.
This isn't just a human body.
Get out of there.
Get out of my little sister's body, you nasty evil spirit!
I'm not an evil spirit!
No. No!
Is it you again? He won't be fooled by an evil spirit like you anymore.
Get out of my way.
Everyone's calling me an evil spirit.
Fine.
I am an evil spirit, so I should just summon the likes of me.
What's wrong with you?
Don't come near me.
You don't have the power to put out this fire.
If you come near me,
it'll spread to you as well.
I'm okay,
so bring Devil King.
What if you burn and vanish before I'm back?
Don't underestimate me.
I'm Jeo Pal-kye.
I'll try to hold out for as long as I can,
so bring Devil King now.
I know that I don't have much power,
but I am from the Realm of Water.
I'll put out the fire for you.
Hey.
Piggy.
When the fire is completely out,
I, who is filled with the energy of water,
will perish.
Just think that I've returned to my kingdom.
Hey, don't.
Wait, you can't do this. I don't want you to do this. Let go of me!
Hey, don't do this. Let go.
You really can't do this. Just let go of me!
Hey! You shouldn't do this!
No...
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Are we going to wake up the black dragon
inside the stream today?
Yes, we have to do it.
If I wake him up using the numinous energy,
he'll come up here along the valley.
Then he'll try to come out to the world through this gate.
We must get rid of him before he passes through this.
From this moment on,
I'll stay right here and guard this gate.
Okay, guard it safely.
I'll go prepare everything.
Where's Samjang?
She and General Winter just arrived near the village.
I feel bad I made her look for the great egret that she'll never find.
That doctor packed up everything and left a little while ago.
Do you know where she went?
No, I don't.
She just said she's moving far away and that she won't be able to visit us.
Do you know if she lived with anyone when she was here?
She lived alone.
She doesn't have a family.
I knew it. It was a lie.
What are you talking about?
I was told that we'll become deities and live happily ever after
as a reward for accomplishing the mission.
I didn't believe it though,
since one of us is a human.
Let's go back to the village and try to find people who may know her.
Do you think she got a new life just like
Devil King wanted to do back then?
That's a possibility.
Let's find her first.
What's the matter?
I just remembered seeing her standing over there before I left.
I wonder what she was thinking at that moment.
She looked so sad.
-Let's go. -Just a moment.
I want to look around a bit more.
She might have left some traces around here.
All right, then.
I'll get rid of the black dragon before it enters this world.
I'll be sure to release it with my own powers.
It's what you get for calling me an evil spirit.
What's wrong?
The great egret was desperately waiting for something here.
She brought O-gong and me here
in order to find what she had been waiting for.
She must've left because she found it, right?
I didn't find anything,
so O-gong must've found it for her.
Why didn't he tell me?
I should go talk to him.
You'll find out everything when you find the great egret.
Let's go to the village.
We can't find her, can we?
He sent me here knowing that she's not here, right?
What's he trying to do while I'm here?
Just do as he wishes and stay here today.
I want to leave.
You can't.
General Winter.
You did things you shouldn't have done in order to protect your sister.
Was she happy about that?
She was sad and devastated.
You must know it because you two shared the same body.
If he's not going to tell me anything,
please take me to Master Subori.
I have to do what I need to do.
So, I must find out what that is.
I never imagined you'd come to see me.
Does O-gong know you're here?
I came here by myself.
Tell me the things that
O-gong didn't.
Move.
Pal-kye is hurt, and Jade Dragon is dead.
They worked for me.
I can't leave Asanyeo alone anymore.
Then you'll ruin the Great Sage's plans.
It's best that his plans are ruined.
The monkey's going too far to save Samjang.
Devil King.
I'm busy.
The Spiritual Realm
will take care of Asanyeo.
Why would the Spiritual Realm suddenly get involved with her?
Samjang
made a choice.
To assist her in her mission,
the Spiritual Realm will do as she wishes.
Tell the Great Sage that
we will keep Asanyeo confined.
Then it won't work out
as O-gong wants after all.
-That was a great discussion. -Thank you, professor.
-Thank you. -You're so handsome.
-See you again. -Goodbye.
Take care.
-Isn't he great? -He is.
EXPLAIN YOUR PRO-JAPANESE ROOTS
REVEAL HOW THE REPORTER DIED
YOU'RE NOT A ZEITGEIST VESSEL
They have the power to knock you down.
Don't belittle them.
You created a dangerous situation.
Let's go to the stream now.
-Now? -Yes.
Everything's ready.
Can I just go like this?
You're ready as well.
You're evil enough to summon
the black dragon.
That'll do.
Hey.
-It's blood. -You're not asking who's blood it is.
I'm sure you did what's necessary.
I'll head there now.
He could be
the best partner for an evil spirit.
Everything is ready,
but something's wrong.
Pal-kye was badly hurt,
and Jade Dragon died.
Asanyeo did it.
Devil King said he'd kill Asanyeo right away.
I should go and see him.
There's no need to.
Is that where the black dragon is?
If it feeds off of the evilness of humans,
it will become bigger the longer it's left there.
In order to wake and get rid of it now, I need Asanyeo.
I understand why you want her dead, but it isn't time yet.
The Spiritual Realm will deal with her.
Master Subori said he'll confine her.
He got involved again.
I'm not on your or the Spiritual Realm's side.
I don't want to get involved.
And I don't want to tell you what to do.
Great. I don't want to ruin your plans to become a deity.
O-gong.
Are you risking your life
purely to save Samjang?
If that's the case,
haven't you considered running away with her?
Whether or not the black dragon appears,
regardless of what happens to this world, you can forget about all that.
You could take her
and live somewhere far away.
No, that's not cool.
I want to impress her.
What if I ask her to run away with me, and she says no?
I would look like such a loser.
She thinks I'm pretty awesome.
Okay, fine.
Die awesomely.
I want to become more awesome.
She does that to me.
When you first put on the Geumganggo,
you cried a river over a bottle of sauce
because you had to protect some human girl.
Who'd have thought
you'd risk your own life to fight
-such an immense black dragon? -I'll do anything that makes me look cool.
Let me ask you this.
Don't you think Samjang would want to look cool too?
For you.
If she wanted to be cool like you do,
could you stop her? What would you do?
I can't stop her.
That's why I'm trying to cover it up and do what I can.
Come home when it's all over, okay?
Come home.
I'm bored.
Okay.
Run me a hot bath.
Sure.
Come home, okay?
O-gong.
What should we do now?
I need to see Master Subori.
Go back and deal with the aftermath.
I will stay here too.
No. You're the only one I trust.
Do it for me.
Yes, sir.
Master.
Why are you hindering my plan?
You're here, O-gong.
Only Asanyeo can call the black dragon.
Asanyeo
is just the link between the black dragon and the evil human.
I'll get rid of her later on.
-Hand her over. -O-gong.
I'm really proud that you're sincerely thinking of
saving the world.
I'm not doing this to make you proud.
If this goes well, you'll be able to return to the Spiritual Realm.
Return?
I'm sure the Spiritual Realm don't like me that much.
What is this?
Where's Asanyeo?
What's going on?
Like you said, only Asanyeo
can wake the black dragon.
Right about now,
I bet she woke it up.
You deceived me.
You didn't confine Asanyeo.
You're confining me.
Do not let the Great Sage leave.
It's awake.
Your dragon will enter through this gate.
You will awake the dragon as planned.
That is all you can do
as an evil spirit.
The Spiritual Realm will take it from there.
You said I should do what I can
so I'm going to unleash the beast.
The black dragon is awake
and on the move.
She woke the black dragon.
Are you going to let it out in this world?
You have a plan.
No way.
Is it Samjang?
Stop.
You can't let it out in this world.
You can't let it possess him.
If you do, the world will crumble.
Keep going.
Keep going!
Why did you bring her into this?
She made her choice.
-Only she can stop it. -No I will!
Only Samjang, who's a human, can!
She accepted her fate.
This is what Samjang wants.
Samjang told us
to keep you here.
That was
her order.
I said that I could stop you.
I will never let the dragon possess your body.
The dragon chose me!
That's why I'm stopping it.
I will let it possess me and get rid of it.
You won't gain a thing.
Your world will never exist.
Shut up!
Don't interfere!
You just brought
your own destruction upon yourself.
How did O-gong get out?
Devil King.
Did you help him?
I just gave him a boost.
The Spiritual Realm saw Samjang's decision.
I wanted to see what O-gong would do.
He deflected the black dragon
and disappeared with Samjang.
The black dragon didn't disappear.
It's still there.
The black dragon will come into the world.
Jin Seon-mi.
I'm sorry.
You shouldn't be here.
Go.
No.
You must go.
No.
You...
do anything I ask you to.
Son O-gong, the Great Sage.
Go
and finish it off for me.
I actually hoped
our love wouldn't disappear.
Now I'm okay.
You have Geumganggo.
I can relax.
When you are left alone,
my love won't be left behind.
That's such a relief.
Jin Seon-mi.
Samjang
has died.
Now
there is nothing that can
stop the dragon.
I said that I wanted to see what O-gong would do.
Now that Samjang is dead,
what will he do?
The black dragon
has disappeared.
It seems like...
O-gong won.
Seon-mi...
The world hasn't changed,
but you're
no longer here.
