[Episode 9]
How did we end up like this?
He was there when the bell rang.
A match made in heaven...
Is he...
really the one for me?
Can I trust the bell though?
Is there really such a thing...
as a match made in heaven?
Why did you stop like that? We almost lost that evil spirit.
Devil King, stop playing the piano. It's all done now.
Devil King, stop it already.
Devil King!
Hey, have you lost your mind? Gosh.
You can't even play the piano. I said we should just play the CD.
I was so immersed in it
because I haven't played the piano for ages.
Wasn't it your first time?
Was it that obvious?
We need to return the dress now. Please take it off quickly.
Okay.
That dress is huge. Why is there so much fabric?
It must be so uncomfortable. Here.
Ms. Ma,
why did you pick out that design? No one wears that style these days.
Samjang picked it herself.
I thought this design was the prettiest.
Those shoulder pads look like they could turn into wings in no time.
That style was considered trendy about three decades ago.
I should pick your wedding dress for you when you actually get married.
How dowdy. I can't even look at it.
Nowadays, dresses with see-through details and light, airy fabrics are popular.
No one wears that style anymore.
What's your problem?
She looks gorgeous even in this ugly dress.
It's beautiful. You look stunning in anything.
This isn't a real wedding. Who cares about what kind of dress I wear?
-Anyway, we should go eat something. -Yes, we should.
Everyone eats short rib soup after weddings. Let's eat that.
I'm a bull. How could you suggest eating that? Have some manners.
-Right. Then, how about beef bone soup? -Cut it out.
-Spicy beef soup. -That has beef too.
All right. Ox head soup. Done.
Go eat all you want.
Let's go. Come on.
-I made a reservation at a place nearby. -My goodness.
-Let's go eat. -How inconsiderate.
-Ox head soup would be perfect. -Gosh, seriously.
What if he really is the one for me?
What are you doing?
Do you like the dress that much?
Do you want to get married?
No.
What are you talking about? I don't even have anyone.
You've already married me twice.
Today and the other day.
The other day?
That has nothing to do with getting married.
We can get married again. I'd love to.
Come here.
No, I won't. It's not like I want to marry you.
Hurry up. We have to go to the restaurant. You should eat too.
We can get married again.
I'll welcome you with open arms.
Come on.
I must be going crazy.
I feel like I can hear the bell again.
Devil King, does it mean Samjang's agony is over now?
Yes, she said that she came to her senses.
There's no reason to worry about the life after Geumganggo disappears,
so I expect nothing and feel more at ease.
She must've picked that ugly dress because she expects nothing from him
and feels comfortable around him.
I would've doubted her if she had worn something nice.
It looked hideous, but the Great Sage said she looked stunning in it.
That's because Geumganggo generates the feeling of absolute love.
"The reduction of the universe to the compass of a single being
and the extension of a single being
until it reaches God. This is love."
Said Victor Hugo.
So, with Geumganggo,
Samjang is like the whole universe and God to the Great Sage.
That's right.
Did Victor Hugo have to wear Geumganggo too?
I wonder how he knew exactly what love is.
He was probably in love.
I mean, isn't that why you understand what love is?
Once, you had someone who was like the whole universe to you.
The woman who was my universe must be...
living somewhere in this world now.
I wonder what kind of painful fate
she's enduring this time.
Piggy, is this our first date?
Since everyone knows about us already,
you won't mind being lovey-dovey in public, right?
Octopus,
we're breaking up.
Choose any decent man you like in here.
Possess his body instead.
I'll help if you lack power.
Just get out of that body.
Why?
Don't you like it?
Hey!
Damn it.
I do like it.
I've always thought Alice had a nice body.
We could've gone on a casual date.
However, I've never been caught in scandal before.
Are you afraid of disappointing your female fans?
No.
I'm angry because you ruined
a decent opportunity.
An opportunity?
There's someone I care about. She's like a little sister to me.
She needs to become famous soon.
However,
you ruined her moment to shine.
Someone you care about?
The zombie?
Were you planning on getting involved in a dating scandal with her?
Anyway,
I need you out of the way.
Pick any man.
I'll choose someone far better than you.
SUNSHINE KINDERGARTEN
They'll be out soon.
I don't want to do this.
Your dear O-gong is going to sit this one out.
You have to be by my side.
Look. Here they come.
I'm here to pick them up on behalf of Mr. Lee.
I got the call.
Bye.
Hi, guys.
I heard that Uncle Jonathan was coming.
I'm leaving.
Uncle Jonathan was going to come,
but I came instead since he was busy.
I see.
This is Uncle O-gong.
Don't call me Uncle. I don't like being one.
Don't call me that, all right?
-We won't. -Okay.
Han-byeol, what do we call him them?
Mr. Son.
Look after them for about an hour.
I need to go to the bank.
Can I glue their lips together for an hour?
-Don't you dare. -You'll regret this.
Your one and only employee will come to hate you and resign.
Then I'll be terribly sad.
It's just for an hour.
I'll be quick.
I'm only going to watch over you,
so don't ask me anything.
I know it's annoying to babysit other people's kids.
We won't ask you for anything, Mr. Son.
What are you drawing?
Is that a cucumber?
It's a dinosaur.
No way. It looks like a cucumber.
It's a herbivorous dinosaur called Brontosaurus.
No, it's the cucumber that a Brontosaurus eats.
Let's draw it again.
-What are you drawing now? -It's none of your business, Mr. Son.
Another dinosaur?
What's that one called?
It's called Brontosaurus.
Again?
Hey, kid.
Is that the only dinosaur you know?
You don't, do you? Tell me one if you do.
Little kid, you tell me. Brontosaurus, which looks like a cucumber,
is the only dinosaur your sister knows, right?
This is all you learned in kindergarten?
You didn't study, did you?
Wait. Why are you crying?
Stop. Stop crying.
Hey, don't cry.
Okay, fine.
I'll show you a real dinosaur.
Will you stop crying then?
Look.
Wow.
NATIONAL CREDIT UNION FEDERATION OF KOREA
Is that enough?
They must go to the same kindergarten.
Let's go.
Where did they go?
What are you doing here?
O-gong called me over
to make some snacks for the children.
-I see. -Yes.
Can I clean your fridge while I'm here?
I won't be able to sleep tonight
knowing the state it's in.
Yes, of course.
Thank you.
The CEO of a refrigerator company
is cleaning my fridge.
Pal-kye?
I'm here as PK today.
O-gong asked me to sing and sign some autographs for the kids.
I actually have to get to the airport now. I'm late.
See you.
PK came by my house to sing?
Richie, you're here too.
Yes. Mr. Son asked me to draw with the children.
Thanks for helping out.
So, where is O-gong now?
Children and I just don't get along.
Why would they start crying?
I was one startled monkey.
Darn. We just don't get along.
I was going to play with you at home.
Han-byeol, let's go home.
No, I don't want to.
I don't want to!
We saw a Brontosaurus,
Mr. Sa,
and even PK.
So you watched TV all day.
Not on TV! I saw them in real life.
We also saw a girl who can pop her eyes out.
Kids, you should go home for now.
Your mom is waiting.
We're not leaving.
We're staying.
Guys!
That's enough. We're going home.
Ms. Jin is really scary.
Now come before I get angry.
I'm going to marry Mr. Son
and live here.
Han-byeol!
Marriage is for the two who are a match made in heaven.
I'll be his.
No, you can never be his.
He already has someone else,
so you can't marry him.
Never.
She's just a kid. You should let her down gently.
As her dad, I'm against this marriage too.
Han-byeol, let's go.
Come on.
Let's go.
We can get married again.
I'll welcome you with open arms.
A match made in heaven...
Could it be true?
One of the death bell is missing.
The peddler's grandson lost it.
Death bell? You mean that ominous black bell?
Yes, that's right.
It rings when the two bound together by a twisted fate meet.
It'd be dangerous
if it ends up in human's hands.
I'll earn some points if I find it.
So? Are you going to make Samjang find it for you?
Me?
I'm going to have Ms. Ma look for it.
Goodness.
Do not make Samjang touch such an ominous object.
Okay, I won't.
Gosh.
THE SUN AND THE MOON
I'm hungry.
Rescue Squad, there's an emergency situation.
Be quiet!
A patient needs emergency medical attention...
I told you kids to be quiet.
Go hide in the room!
I told you not to make any noise!
I'm sorry, Dad.
Do you think I'm a joke or what?
-No... -I told you to keep quiet.
-Please... -Please stop.
Dad, please.
No...
Please stop.
Please...
A golden rope came down from the sky.
"A scary tiger followed the siblings.
They prayed for help.
Right at that moment,
a golden rope came down from the sky."
It's the rope.
Right at that moment, a golden rope came down from the sky.
Su-jeong.
Lee Su-jeong.
Su-jeong.
A scary tiger followed the siblings. They prayed for help.
THE SUN AND THE MOON
The Grim Reapers told me
that kids' souls keep disappearing these days.
It sounds like there's an evil spirit
that snatches children's souls.
It does seem so. That's why I wanted to ask you for help.
Would you be okay with it?
Why wouldn't I be?
Do you think...
Queen Mother could be that evil spirit?
Queen Mother
was an evil spirit that ate children's souls.
As you know, she's been caught, and she's being punished for what she did.
I know that.
It's definitely not Queen Mother,
but dealing with the evil spirit might bring back those memories for you,
so I'm worried.
If you're that concerned,
just give me a lot of points
when I catch that evil spirit.
He put up a cold front as soon as I mentioned Queen Mother.
Can I have some more tea?
There's no more. I don't want to give you more. Goodbye.
She sure is a loyal dog.
Even that famous dog, Patrasche, wasn't as loyal as she is.
So, Jung Se-ra is alive.
She lost her memory,
and she's a trainee at Lucifer Entertainment now.
We're sorry we didn't tell you about that girl disappearing.
That's okay.
You two must've been so surprised. I mean, the body disappeared.
Anyway, I guess the accident that day
was just a misunderstanding.
Thank you both.
I guess I won't be needing you anymore.
I'm so relieved.
He didn't ask us to return his money.
He's not like our other clients because he's highly educated.
I'm getting a bad feeling.
We should go into hiding and lay low for the time being.
Please make sure I'll never have to see those guys again.
-You know what I mean, right? -Yes, sir. I'll take care of them.
I can't believe she's totally fine.
She was definitely dead.
Was I too drunk?
What should we do about the girl?
I need to see her again to make sure.
Hey,
is that your bed or what?
Why are you always in there?
It's much more comfortable here than the balcony.
That bathtub wasn't made for you. Get out now.
I don't want to.
You don't want to? You little...
Fine, stay right there.
I'll cook you in hot water.
Here comes piping hot water.
You're so mean. No wonder Samjang hates you.
Who says that she hates me?
I can tell.
What do you even know?
Her blood woke me up from death.
Master Subori told me that I'm connected to her.
He did?
Does that mean you can read Samjang's mind?
Probably.
We're connected, after all.
Come over here.
Look into my eyes.
How do you feel when you see me?
-Mr. Son? -Yes.
You're handsome.
I know that.
I didn't ask for your opinion. How does Samjang feel?
You...
have no idea, do you?
I'm sorry.
All right. I understand.
Sit down right there.
Stay in there.
Which one is the hot water?
I'll cook you up real nice.
She likes you.
Samjang likes you.
I can tell just by looking at her.
You're lying because you don't want to be boiled.
Samjang will be sad if I get boiled.
And you'll be sad if Samjang feels sad.
You two
are connected as well.
The zombie knows how to flatter me.
You got away with getting boiled today.
Please turn the light off on your way out.
Go upstairs for a shower. Richie is sleeping in the bathroom.
I paid a lot for that bathtub.
But it's become a coffin for the zombie.
Why did you bring the zombie here in the first place?
I clearly told you that I'm fine with burning her.
It's you who decided to keep her in the fridge.
How could you burn her up after you decided to take care of her?
You're so irresponsible and cold-hearted.
-What a jerk. -Why are you pretending to be nice?
-If she bothers you, just throw her out. -Unlike you,
I don't throw someone out just because they bother me.
Oh, is that so?
If you're so responsible, why did you let Queen Mother go through all that?
Devil King.
I'll take Richie out to the balcony.
Go take a bath.
Forget it.
I shouldn't have brought Queen Mother up.
Devil King.
This is the best liquor I have in Waterfall Cave.
Actually, it's not the best one, but it's still good.
I wouldn't have mentioned Queen Mother
if it wasn't for that stupid zombie.
Should we just throw Richie out?
That's it. Don't blame Richie for that.
If you feel guilty, just work harder on building up the points
so I can become a deity.
Okay. You should become a deity
and save Queen Mother.
Show some respect. She was once a deity.
I'm the one who made her a monster.
Her fate changed
after she met me.
Why did she meet you to begin with?
She was so unfortunate.
There's another girl who's just as unfortunate.
Samjang's fate changed after she met you.
Jin Seon-mi became Samjang
because of you.
That's why I'm protecting her wearing this Geumganggo.
Samjang says her wish is to be an ordinary person.
She doesn't want to be Samjang
who calls you out to catch evil spirits.
She wants to get married and have a family.
She just wants to be an ordinary person.
But you made her Samjang
who can never have an ordinary life.
So you don't get to laugh at me, okay?
You're just as bad. Shame on you.
Too bad you can't drink.
There's no way you can comfort yourself.
Is there?
An ordinary person?
Thank you for taking care of my children.
This is a voucher for a free meal.
I didn't buy it though. It was a free gift.
I heard this place is good.
I'm okay. You can use it with your family.
It's hard to eat out with my children.
And my kids don't eat tteokbokki unless I make it.
How envious.
You're envious of my tteokbokki?
I'm envious
that you have a normal, happy family.
It's not a big deal.
You'll have a boyfriend
and marry him someday.
It's very hard for me to live that way.
What's so hard about it?
All right then.
First, ask him out to have some tteokbokki with him.
I'm not sure if I can do that.
I'll call and ask him.
Where's my phone? Please wait a second.
Well...
He doesn't need a phone to call O-gong.
Jonathan...
My gosh.
-When did you get here, Mr. son? -When you mentioned tteokbokki.
Well...
Who were you going to call?
Well... It's...
Don't tell me it wasn't me.
You're here.
Yes. Mr. Lee was going to call me to tell me to have tteokbokki with you.
I just arrived right on time.
Do you want to go have some tteokbokki?
Sure, let's go.
Okay. Let me go get my jacket.
All right. I was going to call Jonathan.
So what? What are you going to do about it?
You don't have to stare at me like that as if you want to punch me.
-What makes her feel so envious of you? -What?
She says she's envious of you for having an ordinary life.
Are you envious of me for having an ordinary life?
No. Never. Not at all.
Then you should let her go.
You will never be able to make Ms. Jin happy.
Gosh.
I have a stomachache.
Gosh, my stomach hurts.
This tteokbokki looks spicy.
I should've ordered the mild one.
They say this is the best one.
Let's try it.
It feels weird.
I'm sitting here with you talking about tteokbokki instead of evil spirits.
Isn't that what you wanted to do?
Isn't this what an ordinary life looks like?
It is.
I like it.
Do you like it?
Yes.
Then let's continue.
This looks spicy.
You can have it all. I'll have the mild one.
You ordered this, saying that it looked delicious.
I could easily swap ours for theirs over there,
but that would be totally out of ordinary.
You should finish this dish
and bring me a new one.
All right.
-Is it good? -It's spicy.
Where are we going?
Nowhere in particular.
We're just walking like others.
Are we just going to keep walking?
Yes.
Wait. We're not walking like others.
This is what others do.
You should walk while looking at your phone too.
They all do this.
Don't look at me and look at your phone.
SUREUMDONG
All right.
We ate a delicious meal, went for a walk, and I walked you home.
Thanks.
Now I need you to choose.
What kind of ordinary relationship do you want to be in?
If we're friends, we'll hang out.
If we're family, I'll stay for dinner.
But if we're lovers, I'll spend the night.
-Don't make a pass at me. -Yes, I'm making a pass at you.
The more I try to make a pass at you,
the more curious I get.
About what?
If not for Geumganggo,
what are we to each other?
If you weren't Samjang, you wouldn't have to call for me.
If you're not special,
I don't have to be at your side.
Are you okay with that?
Is that what you want?
Take care.
If you're not special,
I don't have to be at your side.
Are you okay with that?
Is she okay with it?
Summer Fairy,
is it possible for a human
and a monster to be a match made in heaven?
It's absurd, right?
Yes, it's absurd.
-There could be an exception! -There isn't.
I've never seen a human and a monster
live happily ever after.
But I heard it. I heard of the case.
I heard that the fertility goddess played cupid with a monster and human.
I really did.
From whom?
Well... From the peddler's grandson.
You see, there's this love bell.
I heard that it rang.
Really?
The fertility goddess must've made a mistake.
Even though it was a mistake,
a match made in heaven is bound for life, right?
She can't take it back, can she?
No, she can't.
Ill-fated or not,
the fate is sealed.
I see.
What a relief.
I'm hungry.
The hungry boy
was shocked to find a cracker in front of him.
It's a cracker.
"The children followed the crackers down the path.
Then, they came across a house made of biscuits.
The child
entered the house made of biscuits.
He wasn't hungry anymore
and he lived happily ever after."
HANSEL AND GRETEL
-A child's missing. -From our neighborhood?
-Really? -What happened?
No way.
-I can't believe it. -How could this happen?
-Unbelievable. -Can you believe it?
-Goodness. -Gosh.
-I don't know what happened either. -Really?
-What happened? -Do you think he ran away?
I heard that a child froze to death.
HANSEL AND GRETEL
You'll have fun here.
A golden rope came down from the sky.
A scary tiger followed the siblings. They prayed for help.
The girl I captured the other day
has escaped from the book.
Did she miss her brother too much?
I will capture the evil spirit snatching the souls of children.
Instead of points though,
I'd like some information.
Regarding Queen Mother?
Just tell me where she is and who she was...
reincarnated as.
Even though you know, you can't interfere in her life.
I am aware that I can't interfere.
All right, then.
Just tell me
if she was reincarnated.
If you want to know about human affairs,
become a deity.
This is delicious.
You should go.
That's one loyal dog.
You're my first customer of the day.
Here you go.
I heard about a spirit snatching children's souls.
Could it be dangerous?
I should inform the Great Sage.
Wait. Hold on!
This is the shortcut.
It gives me the creeps.
Let's go around it.
See you.
But we'll be late.
This is where lost souls gather.
Children's souls have been disappearing from here as well.
Let's check it out.
All the lost souls are here.
This is the girl.
Kid.
Did someone try to take you away?
She won't speak.
Hey, do you like dinosaurs?
Do you want to see a Brontosaurus?
A friend of yours grabbed a rope and disappeared?
Yes, that's what my friend told me.
His sister grabbed a rope that came down from the sky
like in the story The Sun and The Moon and disappeared.
One of the kids in our apartment block got in an accident.
From the balcony...
Her older brother saw everything.
She was young and thought she saw something from a storybook.
A storybook?
LUCIFER ENTERTAINMENT
O-gong's looking for an evil spirit that takes children's souls.
On his own?
He's working with General Winter.
Thanks to you,
O-gong's earning me points voluntarily.
I feel bad for some reason.
Why did you want to see me?
I'd like you to help me find a missing object.
It's a very dangerous item.
You're making me do all sorts of things.
We should earn points.
We should earn more points in a faster manner.
I didn't put Geumganggo on O-gong's wrist
to help you earn points.
I know that.
You put it on his wrist, so he wouldn't eat you.
That's why...
I'm wondering
if we could take Geumganggo off now.
-What? -Between me and him,
other than the servitude Geumganggo put him under,
perhaps there could be another relationship.
As you've seen in the jar,
the relationship between you two is ill-fated.
It could be a blessed one.
It can never be. You two are ill-fated.
How can you be sure?
The one who changed your fate
was O-gong. That's why.
As a penalty for releasing O-gong,
-you became Samjang. -What nonsense...
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 it.
I should go now.
You became Samjang because of O-gong.
He knows that very well, so if you don't believe me,
call and ask him yourself.
Is it true?
Is that true, Son O-gong?
Is it true?
Yes.
You lead a special life...
because of me.
I see.
It really was a misfortune
that you and I...
met that day.
If you hadn't shown up in my life,
I wouldn't have become Samjang.
I shouldn't have met you.
These are the best of the energy marbles I collected during my Singapore concert.
I kept them hidden from Devil King. Eat them up.
Here.
What if he...
gets angry?
I'm his minion and slave when it comes to collecting energy.
I can take this much from him.
You said you think your eyeballs are rotting.
You need to be able to see.
Thank you.
You're too good to me.
You bet.
I gave you a name.
And I feed you energy marbles.
Then...
does that make me your minion?
No, not a minion.
Be my sibling, my sister.
Wouldn't you mind having a zombie as your sister?
Sister, this piggy brother
will come right back after the shoot.
Eat these and look around the TV station.
If you go home looking too refreshed and energetic,
Devil King might suspect something.
Let's have some fun. Do you want to go anywhere?
DEOKSUGUNG PALACE LATE NIGHT OPENING
Shall we go here?
What are you doing here?
Oh, how are you?
This time I recognized you first.
We meet again.
I'm here for a talk show.
Do you have business here too?
I'm just waiting for someone.
I need to wait for someone here as well.
Would you mind if I join you?
Sure, have a seat.
O-gong's looking for an evil spirit that takes children's souls.
I hate being Samjang.
My life is the most pitiful.
THE LITTLE MATCH GIRL
The little match girl lit a match.
"When the hungry child lit the first match,
a table full of delicious food appeared.
When the lonely child lit the second match,
the family members he missed appeared."
Su-jeong.
Take me with you.
I want to...
come with you.
Su-jeong...
Don't do this. You shouldn't.
I guess I should read a different storybook.
It's dangerous here.
Get out of here and ask this gentleman to come pick you up now.
Go on.
I'll come pick you up now. All right?
Who are you?
I'm...
a bookseller who reads happy stories to children.
Then why did you steal their souls?
I didn't steal anything.
I'm just helping those poor kids
by letting them live inside happy fairy tales.
Those kids you took... Where are they now?
The children's souls are locked up inside these books.
It looks like we'll have to open up every single book to find the souls.
Where's the owner of this place?
Ask Samjang to come here so that we can track down the evil spirit.
Right now, she must be hating the fact that she is Samjang.
I can recognize unhappy children's souls right away.
All of them
desperately prayed for their souls to be taken away.
They called me.
Don't lie to my face.
No one called you.
You know it well too, Seon-mi.
You've also called me out in the past.
That poor little girl...
I recognized you right away, Seon-mi.
You know how lonely and unhappy that kid must've been.
Shall I take her and relieve her from it all?
If that little girl is gone, you won't have to suffer anymore.
She has...
the special ability that makes your life miserable.
I'll take her away for you.
Jin Seon-mi For ghosts only. You're not a human.
Can you...
really take her away?
Of course.
I brought a fun storybook.
Shall we read the book I picked out for you?
Goodbye.
Hey, wake up. Hey!
What is happening?
CEO WOO HWI
What's the matter?
I can no longer feel
the drop of Samjang's blood that's been circulating in my body.
Samjang is...
gone.
Son O-gong.
Something's up.
What's wrong?
Did she just call me?
Who? Samjang?
Something very odd must've happened.
I was expecting you.
Who are you?
Where's Samjang?
That's Samjang.
This woman is...
no longer Samjang.
Where's the woman who called me?
I called you.
What?
Who are you?
I'm the new owner of Geumganggo.
(A KOREAN ODYSSEY)
Does Geumganggo belong to someone else now?
Is the bookseller the new owner of Geumganggo?
Then, now...
the one O-gong loves is...
-Son O-gong. -...not Jin Seon-mi.
-Son O-gong. -It'll be the bookseller.
This Geumganggo has only one owner.
Your heart will beat for me from now on.
You are mine now.
Damn it. I can't stand this anymore.
