Episode 3
Are you alive or are you dead?
I am merely... existing.
I do not exist as a living person nor have I disappeared as a dead person.
I'm a stuffed specimen stuck in a place
where I can never go back in time.
Let's go!
You are the one who was leading those following us, aren't you?
You're the leader.
Oy! You guys are bandits from Gaori Village, aren't you?
Then you are Goguryeo nomads.
You understand me, right? Hey!
You're noisy.
I'm from the same area. Hey sibling, I mean nooi (younger sister)
Nooi?
Nooi. Please release your orabi*("older brother", corresponding to modern-day "oppa")
I'm a low-ranking officer who was in charge of escorting my superiors.
If you are holding me as a hostage, there isn't anywhere you can get ransom for me.
- I saw where you come from. - What?
More than the bundle wrapped in silk which the noble young lady carried,
is there something here she considers precious?
I don't think you are just the low-ranking warrior escort of the young lady.
On her personal trips, I've talked to her a few times so she wouldn't be bored.
As you can see, I look like this.
I just talked with her. That's what it is.
You're going to collect money for your face.
Just by talking, can't I persuade you to release me, Nooi?
I could convince you even better if only my arms and feet were free.
You're talking nonsense. If I cut your tongue.
will the price of your face decline?
Why are you saying such scary things?
Oh shoot!
Pull me out! What are you doing? Didn't you hear me?
Just by talking, how could I help you?
If my hands and legs were free, I'd be able to help you. Throw me your sword.
Stop moving. If you keep moving, you'll fall in faster.
Throw your sword.
Where are you going?
Come back!
Pull on it.
Hurry!
Now you are my hostage.
The value of my body is going to be much higher than the face of a low-ranking warrior.
Nooi. Actually, I'm not a low-ranking warrior.
The young lady I was escorting is the princess of the Yeongju castle's lord.
I am captain of the guards of the castle gate.
Are you looking at the moon which has risen today?
Is it the same moon from 1000 years ago when we met?
It's the same moon. Would it be different?
These garden flowers have bloomed so brightly.
The innkeeper at the Inn of the Moon made sure the guests enjoyed themselves.
Ah, I changed the name here.
It's not an inn now but a hotel. Hotel Del Luna!
Don't call me innkeeper. I'm a CEO now.
CEO, Inn, whatever.
I heard the human who served you for a while is gone now.
Well, death is something which soon leads to life.
I died as well.
Why am I here and not gone?
You did not die.
I told you that while being bound to the vengeful spirit tree, the flow of life and death has stopped for you.
Until when will I be bound?
You are the one who's frozen and stuck here.
The life in me got wrung dry and I died.
When the tree is suddenly cut down and set on fire,
I will go on my own.
The leaves will sprout, the flowers will bloom, will wither and fall.
Then the time between life and death will flow again.
Shouldn't you also leave prettily like this?
I don't have anything so colorful to leave behind.
Thoroughly pick the bright flowers.
Pathetic ghosts are good at seeing people off.
That child is still full of herself.
I cannot leave you like this forever.
Thank you for saving me earlier.
Know that you were lucky.
If you were wearing some other shoes, I would not have saved you.
These are much better than those tacky crap-colored ones.
You wore the shoes that I picked for you, and you waited for me.
I never waited for you.
You waited for me while using the tiger text message as an excuse.
I was just curious, that's all.
Of course, you were curious.
Because you were constantly thinking about me.
Did you perhaps...
cast some kind of spell on me?
Is that how you made me dream of you?
You even dreamt of me?
Even seeing a ghost once like this is too much.
I do not want to see you in my dreams.
Why? Did I eat you in your dream?
Nevermind. It does not seem like you were the one in the dream.
If it were you, it would not have happened.
I will forgive you.
I mean you're of age, so I guess you can dream that sort of stuff.
What are you saying! It wasn't that kind of dream.
Gu Chan Seong, I thought you were weak,
but I see you're very healthy.
Yes, I am very healthy.
Sure, keep being healthy.
If you faint again on the street like earlier, it'll be burdensome.
How did you bring me here?
Can you perhaps teleport?
Well, just as you brought a handcart,
I brought someone to carry you.
Take him.
Let's move him.
Boss, I am inside his body.
Let's go.
Let's go together!
Boss, Boss!
You—
While I'm in a human form, can I go outside for a little bit more?
Come out!
I don't want to come out, Boss!
Come out!
- It must've hurt. - Leave.
Go!
You just need to know that I brought you back safely.
Does your head move well?
Ah, yes.
Why?
If you're feeling alright, that's fine.
Let's go. Since you're back, I'll give you a tour of the hotel.
Does this place exist in the human world?
I told you before that
our hotel is registered with the District Office and we even pay our taxes.
The hotel exists in the real world,
but it doesn't appear in front of living people.
it does appear every so often on rainy days, or in front of people with a special sense.
Was there a hotel here?
- Indeed. - But it's a little dreary.
Let's just go.
But every year, there are a few humans who come in and check it out.
Oh, you scared me.
The first night is incredibly expensive.
What do you do about those who insist coming in?
I will check in.
There is a room just for those guests.
Please go in.
Yes.
There are humans who check in and enter this room,
but no humans who check out and leave it.
How did you do that?
Are you curious?
Do you want to enter?
- There are many other places to see. - Ah, yes.
Then, let's go there.
Why does she need sunglasses in the middle of the night?
I don't come out here that much. It's too sunny.
It's the middle of the night in Seoul. Where is this place?
What's within the hotel is not the real world.
It's a different place and time from where you are from.
Maps and phones are all useless in here.
Wow!
This is not a reality as well, right?
That's right.
Everything in this hotel is not in reality.
No matter how pretty it is, it's not reality.
Are you not real as well?
That's right.
I'm also not real.
Then, even if someone falls from here, will he not die?
Be careful. You're alive.
If a weak human falls off, he will die.
♫ Was it when I first saw you ♫
♫ that I felt it was fate ? ♫
This is what a heart beating in a warm body is like.
♫ Like a star shining in the night sky ♫
♫ You were with me for a long time. ♫
There are many things you need to do for me while being alive.
Keep staying by my side, Gu Chan Seong.
♫ Every time I think of ♫
If I say I don't want to,♫ Every time I think of ♫
are you going to push me off? ♫ the poem which is you ♫
♫ I want to memorize it so I can remember you ♫
♫ When the sad night comes, I will take care of you ♫
Even if it's a space which is not real, please treat me realistically. ( i.e. "pay me in real money")
And, as to shoes, I will wear what I please.
♫ I know in the passing season ♫
Did you change your mind because you got scared I might push you off?
I thought if I came this far, what good would running away anymore do?
Actually, I am curious. And I think it'll be interesting.
I want to know about both you and this hotel.
♫ Every time I think of the poem which is you ♫
♫ I want to memorize it so I can remember you ♫
That's good, then.
♫ When the sad night comes, ♫
Actually, I was intending to put up a few more times with your running away and saying you don't like it.
I said I found you pleasing.
♫ Don't forget me. ♫
♫ The days will come again when the flower blooms and wilts ♫
♫ Remember only this one thing ♫
♫ my feeling for you. ♫
♫ Someday even if we ♫
It was her... ♫ drift far apart ♫
That woman.
♫ If I were you, I could wait ♫
Can I get a refill for the coffee?
Oh. Yes.
- Oh yeah. Honey? - Yes?
Let's visit the market on the way.
We have to turn around to get to the market. Let's go next time.
What is this?
Is this 911?
A person was hit.Kim Yu Na
No, I didn't hit her. She fell suddenly from the overpass.
Yes. Please come immediately.
Where is here? What side is it?
Like a loser, really.
I'm going to go crazy. Ah!
I don't know!
Kim Yu Na.
What is this?
What happened to me?
What are you?
This is mine.
A new human came as manager of the hotel.
I stole him from a hotel which Forbes likes. He will do a good job.
Although he's got a degree from Harvard,
it's not the type of knowledge that's useful for working here.
He should be tenacious but I am afraid he is too weak.
We could leave the position empty a little longer.
How about selecting a human who was ranked as 1st or 2nd?
Was there anyone ranked first or second other than Gu Chan Seong?
Wasn't there someone ranked first who also had the ability to perform an exorcism?
Then, what will he do? He left saying he was going to catch a mean ghost.
I ask you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Why have you come to this place? What is your name?
Saint Michael Archangel, protect us in the fight against the princes of darkness, the evil spirits who dwell in the heavens. (In Latin)
- Give it a rest! - Don't interrupt!
I won't ever leave until I catch it.
Then, please return.
I command you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
What is your name?
Tell me!
- I'm more afraid of that guy! - Tell me your name!
Aftet I gave him the ability to see ghosts, he went to catch some other ghost.
If he catches it, won't he come?
He can't. The ghost is very strong, Park Il Do.
What was the second choice like?
He was a fighter pilot. She went all the way to the US to find him.
In the end, he left riding that thing.
What thing was he riding?
I don't need to know who was first or second. Gu Chan Seong is here, so it's fine.
The office is ready. It seems like Manager Noh already cleaned up, knowing that he was going to leave soon.
He's worked here for 30 years and hasn't even left a trace.
There is one. That picture. It's the picture Manager Noh took.
There were a lot of people who passed through here, but I can't quite remember them.
What was Manager Noh's number here?
That's something only our boss will know.
All those people are the same. It's meaningless.
What are you doing? Go and do your work.
♫ The image of your back leaving seen by my two eyes ♫
♫ Is my sad feeling and I am crying. ♫
He was just the 48th human.♫ When another day passes, I'm afraid you will be farther away ♫
Gu Chan Seong is the 49th human.
♫ It is the only worry I have again ♫
♫ Don't leave me ♫
♫ Within my heart the words shouted at you ♫
Manager Gu Chan Seong
♫ Don't go back ♫
♫ Don't disappear again in the place where you are ♫
I caved in too easily, which isn't like me.
Why did I do that?
This is what a heart beating in a warm body is like.
I was too immersed in the mood.
Boss Jang has told us to exchange greetings with the new manager.
If you work here, that must mean you are ghosts as well.
I died 500 years ago. She died 200 years ago.
He died 70 years ago. He's the youngest.
In my lifetime, I was a scholar dedicated to studies.
After studying from the time I was born, I achieved my dream of earning first place in the national civil service exam.
I unexpectedly died on the brink of returning home laden with honor.
I wandered the world and found Jang Man Wol's Inn.
I've been at this hotel the longest.
If you were a scholar, what is your job here?
Even though my ability in my normal skill of writing poetry is exceptionally deep, right now I'm the bartender.
Ah, Scholar, you are the bartender in charge of food and drink.
I was the eldest daughter-in-law of a noble family.
However, I was unfairly killed at the hands of a relative.
While I linger and subsist here, the last sprout of my miserable family will die off.
I'm going to leave after I clearly witness this.
You have a lot of grudges.
- I'm in charge of housekeeping.- Yes, Head of Housekeeping.
I died during the Korean War.
At the time this was called the House of the Full Moon and things were difficult here.
I am still staying here waiting to leave together with my younger sister.
If you dig deeper, we all have more complicated stories. For instance, in my case—
The employees came as guests and have extended their stay to work here.
Besides the boss, we are the ones who have been here the longest.
Then was Boss Jang Man Wol a guest like all of you, who ended up staying?
No. The boss is the owner of Hotel Del Luna.
What do you mean, the owner? Grandmother Ma Go bound her to this place as a punishment.
- She's bound here, you say?- If you go to the garden, there's a really big tree.
There's a garden as well?
The front desk and bar have been left unattended for too long. Shouldn't we get going?
If we neglect our work, we'll be on a bus to the netherworld.
I'll tell you all about my past over a martini at the bar.
You should leave for the day and go home.
Where's the garden with the big tree? I haven't seen it today.
There's no need to see it, that's why she didn't show it to you.
Is there a connection between the boss and that tree?
Mr. Gu Chan Seong, how long do you want to work here?
If it's possible, the shortest. I am not here because I want to.
Then, it'd be best to not be so curious.
You're saying that the more I know, the more I will be tethered to this place.
We will take care of serving the hotel guests.
You just need to take care of things relevant to the human world.
I'll do that.
- You're going to work already? - No, I just came from work.
- Did you work late?- No. I need to quit my job at the hotel I was working at.
- Why? - I started working at another hotel.
Which hotel? Where are you going, after leaving Seoul's best hotel?
A hotel with a private beach and sky bar. That kind of place.
That kind of hotel exists in Seoul? I want to go there as well.
You can't. If you come, Sanchez, you'll be in room 404.
What's 404? Is that a suite room?
Ah, I feel like I'm dying.
Yahoo!
That's right. This is reality.
I have a house, a friend, and a workplace.
Let's not be confused.
Ah, now I'm calming down.
This is good.
A strange thing has appeared in this reality.
Moon.
It's a sign that it's mine.
Man- ♫ Can you see how I feel? ♫
Wol.
That's how you write it.
Man Wol ("Full Moon") ♫ You are the only one. ♫
♫ I'll be behind you ♫
It's the price for being treated to good alcohol.
♫ I will be one step behind. ♫
♫ You don't know how I feel. ♫
Man Wol ♫ Tears are brimming. ♫
♫ When I look at you, my heart aches. ♫
♫ Love which is alone ♫
♫ Someday I will walk by myself to the place where I must return again ♫
♫ Then I will be sad. ♫
Hotel Del Luna
It appears in my dreams,
and I'm even getting a call. I keep getting confused.
Won't you answer your phone quickly!
What is it?
It's about your first task as manager.
What is it?
You need to sell that Mount Baekdu painting.
What?
Because it is riding on the spirit of a mythical creature,
the already good energy of this painting has improved.
We can get twice the price of this painting.
If you sell this,
what about the tiger that's in this painting?
The tiger just left. It's an empty painting.
He left?
It's a tiger who has lived in a zoo his entire life.
He took one to two days exploring Mount Baekdu. He went to the afterlife after a few days.
Because he is an intelligent animal, he will have a good reincarnation.
You got the painting because of this, didn't you?
You wanted to sell it. You weren't thinking of the tiger.
Why wouldn't I think of the tiger?
That's why I even wore this.
Ah!
Get a good price for this painting.
Then I will get you matching tiger suit to celebrate.
No thanks. Who would wear a tiger print suit?
Why? You like the color of poop.
I even thought of you and got a new car in that color.
What do you mean new car?
Make sure to sell this by the end of today. I need to go pick up my new car.
You bought a new car? The car you rode last time was a new one too!
That's right. I don't have much money since I bought a new car.
Make sure to sell this at an expensive price.
Two times the price! Two times!
♫ to get a brand new car...
I'm the crazy one.
What am I so curious about? That woman is just a money ghost.
Is he really gone? He's not in here?
Roar.
Roar! Roar!
Kim Yu Na
Let go of me. You died here.
Give me my body!
Yes, Director. Thank you for the introduction.
Yes. I am going to the gallery right now.
I'll see you soon.
Give me my body!
Third place brought in a troublesome guest in broad daylight.
But she must have a story. She keeps saying that she's not dead.
Is this the first time you've seen a guest who says they're not dead?
"I'm not dead. I can't die. Why did I die?"
Isn't it a claim we hear often?
I guess the boss will take care of it.
Why did you bring a guest when I told you to sell the painting?
Are you a tout?
What tout? Didn't you say you are here to heal souls?
I think there's something wrong with the student. Please do something.
You saw a living person in the same body as that girl?
She said her body was stolen. If that's true, we must help her.
What you dragged in here is the soul that has left a living body.
Then is her body still walking around now without a soul?
You said it was taken!
Then some ghost must be in her body.
But why is Kim Yu Na like that?
She was the one who bullied her the most.
She must be feeling guilty because she did something.
She's pretending to feel regret.
She's the daughter of this household?
Yes. Kim Yu Na is the sole daughter of this house.
Oh, their only daughter had her body stolen.
We should find it quickly.
Excuse me. It may be an assumption but I'm sure about what I am asking.
Are you going to get money from the parents?
This is not just a rich family.
That's the poop-colored new car that I love.
If they're already driving the car that I was barely able to reserve,
it means they have tons of money.
When we go in, we should find out why this happened, right?
It's because of the necklace. You said it belonged to her dead friend.
The deep-seated grudge of the ghost was attached to the object. It took the body.
She said she was her friend. Why did she do that?
Stop being so curious. You said we need to return the body.
Then that's all we need to do.
Go after her.
Student.
I'm going to kill her.
It's not your body. Why are you doing this to a friend?
She's not my friend.
She killed me.
Jeong Su Jeong
Give it back.
You live on public welfare but you want to buy this?
Have a conscience.
The money is given to you to eat.
You are a burden on the taxpayers' money.
Give it to me.
Try taking it if you can.
I'll give it to you.
Give me, give it to me.
Give it to me.
Give it to me. Ah—
You!
Yu Na!
I don't remember anything after falling.
When I regained my consciousness, I found myself in this body, holding my necklace.
Did you come to find Kim Yu Na's body?
Even though she killed me?
It's that. Give me my body back now using that necklace.
The deep-seated grudge here does not disappear that easily.
Tell my mom and dad.
They will do whatever you want.
They should.
Since they are the ones who made you.
What do you have to tell us about our daughter?
Kim Yu Na has killed someone.
Have you heard about her classmate committing suicide?
Actually I heard that's not true.
The daughter of this house killed her.
This necklace is the evidence.
What do you want?
I came to receive a reward.
Ahjussi, do you think it is wrong of me to kill her?
Let's find a way.
What way?
No matter what we do, I can't come back to life again.
I also wanted to live.
I tried to live diligently, even though I was called a parasite.
Let me go.
Please let me go.
I can't bear her getting her body back and be smiling.
Let me go.
Hold on a moment. I'll go find the necklace.
Just live in this body, alright?
Where is the necklace?
You can't return that necklace. Then it'll be too unfair for that kid.
I returned the necklace, it's in her parent's hands.
This is the necklace of the dead girl, right?
She said this is the only evidence.
There are two ways to pay for this.
The first way is to use this necklace and be punished for your daughter's deeds.
It's offering an apology to the dead friend.
The other is keeping me silent and getting rid of this necklace.
I'll give you whatever amount of money you want.
Please hand it over to me quietly.
I see you've chosen that way.
You'll have to pay a very expesnsive price for it.
Now everything is returned to its rightful place, right?
Of course.
No one will know that you killed her as long as that necklace is gone.
No one will know, right?
You said the deep-seated grudge is very strong, right?
If they burn that necklace, the chance of you receiving forgiveness is gone forever.
It doesn't matter.
That's not it.
Then you can never go back to your body.
What?
Your soul will be gone for good and no one will know.
The dead kid is dead,
and our Yu Na has to live well.
That's the way it should be, as if nothing ever happened.
But what do you think that lady meant at the end?
Please know that your choice is one that killed your daughter's soul forever.
No!
No! What do I do, ahh!
Mom, put it out quickly.
Mom, please!
Please put it out quickly, mom!
I said put it out!
I said put it out quickly!
Now you live in that body. Well, because you are a parasite in that body, you are living.
Try living diligently once more.
Death
She has become a real parasite.
Even so she paid for a golden host.
I'm sure they will suck it up not knowing she isn't their daughter.
That student will have a hard time, looking at her body every day.
It's sad.
It's the law that you have to pay for everything you have done.
Grandmother Ma Go bound her to this place as a punishment.
Are you also currently paying for some evil deed?
I heard that you were being punished.
That's right.
Someone said I'm arrogant and foolish. Although I don't acknowledge it.
What's that?
You just said, "Ah." What was that?
Are you laughing at me?
That's not it.
Because you looked pitiful too.
Forward from the web: Hello, your reservation of the XJ60th Anniversary Version vehicle has been cancelled.
What is this? The advance reservation for my new car has been cancelled.
Ah, what king of dog crap-like situation is this?!
Does this make sense? Are they ignoring me or what?
They're all dead.
Are you ignoring me?
Enough of you.
I want to speak to your manager.
Tell your manager to come!
If the boss gets enraged, just have a glass of champagne ready.
General Manager Noh has always taken care of it.
I didn't know that this position required taking care of Boss Jang's alcohol needs.
You had really bad luck.
We didn't think that a 3rd choice candidate would be the manager.
3rd choice?
They told me not to mention 3rd choice.
Are you saying that out of all the human candidates, I was 3rd choice?
So, you're saying that there was a 1st and 2nd choice before me?
The person who's here is the winner.
It's a victory that I have absolutely no joy in.
Ah, here it is.
What is this?
This is the sign that it belongs to the boss.
It's a sign that it's mine.
Come this way.
Ms. Choi.
Do you know what the boss was like long ago?
What do you mean when you say that she's bound here as punishment?
You are merely someone passing by.
Just think of yourself as being like all these people who have passed through over these many years.
You should leave quickly, as you desire.
♫ With a nonchalant face ♫
♫ Even If I try to pretend it isn't so ♫
♫ I can't hide my growing feeling ♫
Why have you been here like this for all these years?
♫ and every day just being comforted ♫
♫ It's beautiful ♫
♫ Only you, only you, only you, only you ♫
♫ You are the only one I desire ♫
Is it this tree?
♫ If I feel alright. ♫
♫ It's because you're by my side. ♫
♫ It's because you let me live. ♫
♫ If I feel alone. ♫
♫ If I feel alone ♫
♫ It's because you are the only one comforting me ♫
♫ I feel live. I feel love. ♫
There are no leaves.
♫ With you ♫
What are you doing in here?
You didn't show me the garden, so I came here.
Guests aren't allowed in here. There's no need to see it.
Is this tree that tree?
Because my father touched this tree, I was sold here.
You're right. You're paying the price for that.
Does it have to be me? I heard I was 3rd choice.
I thought it really had to be me, and that you really liked me, and all that.
I made a big decision. But I am the pinch-hitter for 1st and 2nd choice.
That's right. There was a 1st and 2nd choice.
Then is 3rd choice the right one? Not 4th or 5th?
Who said you were 3rd choice?
Is there really more?
You're 0th place.
You're correct that it had to be you, since I really liked you.
Do you want a glass?
I'm giving it to you as a prize since you sold the Mt. Baekdu painting for a lot of money.
Did the tiger really go inside and see the things he wanted to see?
Isn't that why he left?
Because I've seen time, like a dream, can never be turned back.
He was lucky.
I'm sure that there are also things that you long for in the past that can't be turned back.
It seems I have seen that.
I told you that you appeared in my dream.
Dream?
You were laughing under a big tree.
Having been told a house would be built for you, even though you said something nasty, as you do now, you were happy.
Drinking in the wilderness, the moon floating in the sky, filled with the sound of musical instruments.
Along with your laugh.
♫ Was it when I first saw you ♫
You were happy.
Because you had someone next to you and you weren't alone as you are now.
The one who taught you how to write Man Wol.
What you miss the most from that time long ago...
is it that person?
♫ You were with me for a long time. ♫
♫ Every time I think of the poem ♫
You... ♫ which is you ♫
It seems you really
have seen that person.
♫ When the sad night comes ♫
You've been waiting for him in this place
all this time, haven't you?
♫ Do you hear my heart? ♫
♫ Don't forget me. ♫
♫ I know in the passing season ♫
♫ my feeling will not change ♫
♫ Just from one look of your eyes ♫
♫ I feel I own the whole world ♫
♫ Every time I think of the poem which is you ♫
♫ I want to memorize it so I can remember you ♫
♫ When the sad night comes, I will take care of you ♫
♫ Do you hear my heart? ♫
♫ Don't forget me. ♫
♫ The days will come again when the flower blooms and wilts ♫
♫ Just remember this one thing ♫
♫ My feelings towards you ♫
Why did you... see that?
I know, why is it that I can see you?
I'm afraid that there will be a price to pay.
Ms. Jang Man Wol...
When I saw you, I was extremely...
I think about you a lot.
You, Jang Man Wol, all nights, all my dreams,
you are eating them all up.
♫ Another day. Don't say anything sad ♫
♫ So far away. Don't say anything ♫
♫ Does love make it hard like that? ♫
♫ Does my heart look only for you like that? ♫
♫ Even though I'm not thinking clearly, you must be in a deep part of my heart ♫
♫ My heart hurts. It seems I still miss you. ♫
♫ No matter how much it hurts, I can't look at you. ♫
♫ What can I do today if I still miss you so much? ♫
Hotel del Luna Preview
My dried up memories have crawled back out because of you.
I must check it myself.
Gu Chan Seong, from today on, you will receive ghosts.
There's someone she really wants to see once more.
Is there a ghost who doesn't have someone they want to see?
- No. The boss said it was like a piece of crap, right?
Is that so?
Since the dried-up tree has sprouted leaves, I'm going to look after it.
I'm sorry.
Gu Chan Seong. Come to our hotel when you die.
