Guardian: The Lonely and Great God (2016–2017): Season 1, Episode 1 - Episode #1.1 - full transcript

When a powerful desire dwells in an object

that has either been touched
by mortal souls or has blood on it,

it becomes a goblin.

A sword smeared with blood
from countless battles...

was enchanted with a powerful desire
bedewed with its master's blood.

Only the bride of the Goblin
will be able to draw the sword.

Once it's drawn, he will cease to exist,
and be at peace.

Some malicious oracle it was.

When goblins are brought back
as immortals,

they come to this world and can be
found everywhere, but nowhere.

Even now, they can be...

What are you laughing about, you brat?

"The Goblin is looking for its bride,

which happens to be me." Is that it?

I may not look like it,
but back in the day I was very popular.

Don't be surprised if I'm not here
the next time you come around.

I envy you.

I must be going senile.

I shouldn't say that
in front of a single mother.

You're mean.

How many times did I give you
a discount on my vegetables?

When was I ever mean to you?

The jerk who left you is the mean one.

That's true.

That's a sad story, by the way.

What's there to be sad about?

It's a romantic yet tragic curse.

Having to look for a bride
in order to die.

The Almighty is evil.

He has always been that way.

He's selfish, envious,

and very self-centered.

That sounds just like someone I know.

I should go now. Have a good day.

Make sure to be here the next time I come.

At a moment of life and death,

make a wish with a powerful desire.

Who knows?

A soft-hearted god
who hears it might grant you that wish.

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

If you run away from home now,
you'll be even more miserable.

-You'll never see your mom again.
-Who are you?

-Are you Korean?
-It's more complicated than that.

It's your turn now.

Tell him with a loud and clear voice.

"You adopted me, so that makes you
my father. Take good care of me."

Ask your mom for help as well.

-Tell her it hurts.
-What's this nonsense?

-Get out of my way.
-Slitting your wrist like that

won't ever kill you
but it'll handicap you.

-Who are you?
-Look him in the eyes and say it.

Can you do that?

And if he beats me to death?
Will you take responsibility?

That's why I broke his ribs for you.

This is your lunch.
Go to school after you talk to him.

The answer to question 17
on your math test is 4, not 2.

That's the only one you get wrong.

Who on earth are you?

He is...

the water, the fire, the wind,

the light, and the dark.

And he was once...

a human.

People considered him...

a god.

He was covered in red blood

as he attacked the enemy.

He was truly a divine warrior.

-Long live the General!
-Long live the General!

It's the victorious General!

-Long live the General!
-Long live the General!

Open the gates!

Here comes the victorious general,
Kim Shin!

Kim Shin, take off your gear
and receive the royal command.

How dare you?

Try saying that again.

How dare a low-ranking soldier
like you call the general's name?

Kim Shin, the rebel leader.

-Take off your gear--
-How dare you?

I heard you the first time.

Wait.

Are you satisfied?

You have committed high treason.
Lay down your sword, kneel down,

and receive the royal command.

I shall cut off your tongue!

How could he commit high treason?
Are you insane?

Have you lost your mind?

General.

You have committed high treason.
Lay down your sword, kneel down...

I will meet His Majesty. Step aside.

-Kim Shin, you--
-If you try to stop me, you'll die.

Step aside.

How dare you?

We have fought three days
and three nights in His Majesty's name.

We have just returned
from the very pits of hell itself.

How dare you treat us like this?

Open up the gates.

Stay here.

I will be back soon.

Your Majesty reigns over his people,

and a god reigns over you.

They say that this god is Kim Shin.

The news of his victory
dazzles your people,

and his power is a continuous threat
to the royal family.

You must punish him strictly
according to the law.

Although he saw

the enemies' swords
that were aimed at him,

he did not see the young King's jealousy
and fear towards him.

He did not realize

that it was the sharpest sword

which threatened his life.

Do you really have to go this far?

That's why you should come no more.

Stop.

Whatever it may be, just stop.

If you stop now and die as a rebel,

I will let everyone else live.

However, if you take another step,

I will kill everyone

and lay their bodies before you
for each step you take.

Go, General.

I am...

fine.

But...

-Your Highness, I--
-I know.

I truly understand.

If this is the end,

then it shall be my destiny.

You should go.

Do not stop.
Take your step towards His Majesty.

This is treason.
Kill everyone in his family.

This is my command!

Stop.

What are you doing? Make him kneel down.

General!

Your Majesty.

How can you do this?

Aren't you afraid of the Almighty?

The Almighty was never on your side
to begin with.

The glaring eyes of the criminal
are troubling His Majesty.

Behead the criminal.

The task is not yours.

General.

General.

I'd like you...

to take care of my end.

I shall follow your order.

Please forgive me.

I will follow you soon.

No one shall retrieve
the traitor's dead body.

Leave it in the fields so that
wild animals can feed on it.

When his body appeases their hunger,

his only worth will be realized.

This is His Majesty's orders!

-General!
-Goodness, what do we do now?

Bless his soul.

-Please bring him back to life.
-Please.

Oh, Lord...

Bless the general's soul.

-General.
-Please.

Do not pray to anyone.

No one is listening.

At noon,

when the sun shone the brightest,

he was killed

by his own King's sword.

SEOUL, 1998

You little idiot.

Are you blind?

Do you want to die?

What on earth...

What are you?

A boar.

What?

You just hit a boar.

Are you all right?

Should I call the police?

I hit a boar.

I mean...

A boar popped out of nowhere.

A boar? In the middle of a city?

Look at that.

Look.

There's a person.

What happened?

Hello. Is this 911?

I'm at the Yeoksam Intersection.

I think there's a dead woman
inside a car trunk.

I'm not sure, but she's not moving.

I'm not sure if she died
from the collision.

Please come here as soon as possible.

Why am I there?

-It's the Yeoksam Intersection.
-Why am I there?

"Hwang Mi-young, 25 years old.

Born on April 3, 1973.

Time of death is 8:32 a.m.,
February 1st, 1998.

The cause of death is suffocation."

This is you, right?

Drink it.

It'll remove your memories from this life.

If I don't drink this,

what will happen?

You'll regret not drinking it.

Any regrets should be left behind
in this life.

A Goblin?

A Grim Reaper?

What a vulgar hat.

Sir.

It's been 20 years.

How have you been?

Have you been well?

I've grown old through the years.

You are still as dashing as ever.

He isn't that dashing.

Be quiet.

This is my grandson
whom I wrote to you about.

Introduce yourself.

Who is this guy?

You must be Deok-hwa.

I'm the person who will be
your uncle, your brother,

your son, and grandson.

It's nice to meet you.

What silliness is that? You sound fishy.

Watch your mouth.

My sincerest apologies.

He was spoiled because he is
the only son in four generations.

But you...

Me? What?

There was a man that was born in Goryeo
but died in a foreign land.

He is your ancestor.

You look just like him.

How?

Was that ancestor guy good looking?

Watch your mouth.

I do not know why he is so rude.

My sincerest apologies, sir.

It is fine.

No one in your family
has ever disappointed me.

By the way, why do you keep
speaking informally to my grandpa?

-Do you want to die?
-You little punk.

Gosh.

Sir.

My sincerest apologies

for coming so late.

I had been ill

all this time.

I think it is time...

for me to go now.

This is

my grandson

who will serve you

from now on, sir.

Grandpa, are you talking to this sword?

The powerful desire
of your people saved you.

However, the blood of thousands
are on your sword.

They may have been your enemies,

but they were also creations
of the Almighty.

You will become immortal

and watch your loved ones die.

You will not forget a single death.

This is the reward I give you

and the punishment you shall receive.

Only the Goblin's bride
will be able to draw the sword.

Once it's drawn, you will cease to exist,
and be at peace.

Sir.

There is somewhere I must go.

How dare you?

Who are you? Why are you emitting
such negative energy?

Why you...

You...

I've come...

too late.

Grandpa.

Grandpa.

You must be...

the first punishment given to me.

Please...

let me bow to you.

I shall serve you from this moment forth.

It was Grandpa's dying wish.

I was blinded by revenge...

and did not ask how you were doing.

Will you still...

serve me as you said?

I may be being thoughtless,
but I like seeing such scenery.

I like that you are enjoying the scenery
without any worries.

Here.

I am still full, so you can have it, sir.

How are you full
when you have not eaten anything?

I am small, so I get full
with just a small portion.

You are big, so you should eat.

Then let's do this.

We have a long way to go
until we reach land.

If we share, neither of us will be full.

So you will starve?

If I get hungry, I can work on the ship

and ask for some food.

Do you think I brought you with me
to make you beg for food?

Trust me.

I may be a much greater being
than you think.

Go on.

Wow!

Sir.

Sir...

Show us what you're carrying.
We need to reduce the ship's weight.

Sir.

Sir...

Put the child down.

Then I'll spare your life.

Judging by the strange waves,

there must be someone on board
who is carrying bad luck.

It's you.

We can sell him as a slave,
so leave his limbs attached.

Get rid of the kid.

Do you know what happens to
humans who are worse than beasts?

They face judgment by an infuriated god.

It's...

It's the Goblin.

Help me.

It's too late.

I may be being thoughtless,
but it's good to be back.

Please help me...

If there is a god in this world,

please save me.

Please...

Anyone, please...

Help me...

I am that "anyone."

Please. Please save me.

Well...

It's my principle not to meddle
with the life and death of mortals.

Please...

I can't die like this.

You're not asking for your own life.

Please...

At least my baby...

You're very fortunate...

to come across a soft-hearted god.

I just don't feel like
watching anyone dying tonight.

JI YEON-HUI, 27 YEARS OLD

NO NAME, 0 YEARS OLD

Snow, blood,

and flowers.

-Is she the Goblin's bride?
-Is she the Goblin's bride?

-She is branded.
-She is the Goblin's bride.

-It's her...
-It's her...

-the Goblin's bride.
-the Goblin's bride.

8 YEARS LATER

What kind of rice cake do you want
for this year's birthday, Eun-tak?

Honey rice cake? Rainbow rice cake?

Mom, can we throw a party
instead of a feast?

What's the difference?

I want cake instead of rice cake.

I want to blow candles and make a wish.

I think my wishes aren't coming true

because it doesn't work with rice cakes.

I never thought about that.

I only got you rice cake
because you like it.

Okay. Let's throw parties
starting this year.

With cake and everything.

Wow, you're the best, Mom.

Look. It's a puppy.

What? A puppy?

Look at this.

Spring is back.

Isn't it marvelous?

Goodness, I'm tired.

Mom, I got a perfect score
in my English exam today.

I studied so hard that I am exhausted.

Is that right?

It's a cake!

Are we going to have a party now, Mom?

Yes. Come and have a seat.
Light the candles too.

Am I allowed to light the candles?

You're old enough to do it now, Eun-tak.

Right. I'm nine years old now.

I got a perfect score in the exam.
This is a piece of cake.

Where did you learn that phrase?

You don't need to know.

I'm good at picking up expressions
from different people.

I think I am a genius...

What's wrong? You should make your wish.

Happy birthday, my pumpkin.

No, you're not.

You're not my real mom,

but my mom's soul.

So you...

really can see everything.

I'd hoped you couldn't.

Mom, did you die?

Did you really?

Where are you?

Where are you right now, Mom?

I'm in the hospital at the intersection.

You will get a phone call
from the hospital.

When you get there,
your aunt will come soon.

It's cold at night, so wear your scarf.

Ask the old lady from
the grocery store to go with you.

You can get to her house, right?

I have to go down
the alley near the laundry shop

and turn right at the end of the alley.

My pumpkin's so clever.

From now on, never look at
spirits in the eye. Okay?

I'm sorry for being able to
see things, Mom.

But thanks to this ability,

I get to see you right now.

So I'm okay.

Okay.

Thank you so much...

for seeing me.

Eun-tak,

Mommy...

has to go now.

I love you, my pumpkin.

Me too. I love you too.

Bye, Mommy. Take care.

You have to go to a good place.

Okay? Promise me.

You have to.

Mommy!

Mommy!

Hello, is this Ms. Ji Yeon-hui's house?

I'm calling from Cheil Hospital
at the intersection.

I know. I'm coming.

I'm...

not going to make a wish.

I'm not going to make any wishes.

Nobody's granting my wishes.
Who would I make wishes to?

You never seem to age.

How can I get older than this?

You have a point.

Can you check on Eun-tak...

from time to time?

You wish.
Why would I check on your daughter?

Just once in a while.

Give her some
leftover cabbages and spinach.

You should've just died that time.
Why did you have to live more?

You're so mean.

You told me.

You told me to make a sincere wish.

I can't believe you actually
took my word seriously.

Thanks to that,
I got to live a little more.

Thank you for everything.

I came to say good-bye.

I'm...

leaving.

Who are you?

Can you

see me?

I forgot to wear my scarf.

Mom's going to be upset.

You're wearing your scarf.

This is Ji Yeon-hui's house, right?

I came here because
she's not at the hospital.

But...

you weren't supposed to be born.

NO NAME, 0 YEARS OLD

Did you...

turn nine this year?

I can't hear your voice at all.

Wait.

What are you doing here?

Go. Leave this girl.

Grandma!

You're disturbing my work.

You're talking nonsense.

Why bring up something
that happened a long time ago?

I'm glad I'll finally be able
to set things straight.

I don't have time.

That's not my problem.

Is this girl on your list?

That baby was nameless back then,
but this girl has a name now.

If you have the card with her name
written on it, show me.

Then I will hand her to you.

To get the support from the otherworld,

I need to submit the records
from the past nine years.

You know that.

I'll see you again,

little girl.

Grandma, Mom is--

I know.

You can't do anything about it.
Worry about yourself.

You have to move in three days.

Only then he won't be able to find you.

Since you made eye-contact
with a Grim Reaper, you can't live here.

He won't be able to find me if I move?

He won't.

That's why where you live is important.

After midnight,

one man and two women will come
and find you at the funeral home.

You should go with them.

You will suffer a little,

but you don't have any other choice.

By the way, why are you telling me this?

Because you're lovely.

When I blessed your mom with you,

I was happy.

Here.

It's your birthday present.

YOO DEOK-HWA

10 YEARS LATER

Excuse me.

Shall we...

go for a drink?

I'd like that.

My credit card was suddenly denied.

Uncle.

You know those rude men in suits
at the bar, right?

I'm with those jerks...
I mean, those gentlemen.

Can you please pick up?

They asked for your number,
so I told them you don't have a phone.

They were really rude to me.

Uncle, are you listening?

Uncle!

Uncle!

We're graduating from high school soon,
but she still eats alone.

Why don't you eat with her, then?

Why would I do that? She sees ghosts.

She scares me more than ghosts do.

Ghosts are at least invisible.

Look. She hears everything
but pretends not to.

Hey.

Hey, I heard you're the Goblin's bride.

I know you can see me.

Will you come with me?
I feel so sad and lonely.

Hey. Why are you ignoring me?

You evil witch!

Seriously, your face!

I knew it. You do see me.

Goodness, it's all true.

Sorry, I'm really sorry. I really am.

What was that about?
Why did she suddenly apologize?

What are you doing in the dark?

I was lost in my thoughts.

This is where you'll stay in Nice.

I'm not so sure.

The time has come, sir.

Deok-hwa is 25 years old already.

I told them to set things up,
so you can leave at the end of the month.

If you leave this time,

I will never see you again
in this lifetime.

Thank you...

for every moment.

By the time you return,
Deok-hwa will be here.

I keep misplacing my keys lately,

so I had a new system installed.

Grandpa.

Uncle.

Uncle, here you are.

I begged you to come and get me.

You just stayed here.

Do not interrupt
while the adults are talking.

Did you cancel my credit card?
You did, didn't you?

My secretary did.

Do you know how hard it was
to get her to drink with me?

That was so embarrassing.

Why did you even make me a rich...

Uncle, are you going somewhere?

Where?

I told you to speak to him politely.

Hold on, Grandpa.

Is this about looking for your bride?

Why can't you just admit
you want a foreign bride?

Why can't you just say so?

So, he'll be here when I get back?

Exactly what time
on what day will you leave?

Breakfast is ready
for one man and two ladies.

I said, breakfast is ready.

Shut up, you brat.

What's there to brag about
making breakfast.

Why is there seaweed soup?
Is it someone's birthday?

Did she actually cook seaweed soup
on her own birthday?

She did.

I don't get why
she would want to celebrate

her birthday when her mom died
on the same day.

-This is all due to lack of education.
-So it's from you, Mom.

You raised her for the last ten years.

Shut it and eat.

Thank you for wishing me
a happy birthday, Aunt.

This is why we should
never have taken her in.

I'm too charitable for my own sake.

I feel so bad for my poor sister
who is dead.

She worked so hard to raise you alone.

That's a bit too harsh.

I'm not being harsh at all.

She may be your mom, but she's my sister.

Exactly. I'm closer to her,
both in heart and legally.

Do you even know what you're saying?

Just keep eating.

Where are you running away to?

I'm not running away. I'm going to school.

Take the umbrella, and you're dead.

Bring your bank book
to the bank after school.

You know what happens
if you don't bring it, right?

I told you, I don't have the bank book.

How many times must I tell you?

Then where is it?

Where is your mom's insurance money?

How would I know?

You took everything!
You even took our rent deposit!

Why is she talking so much
so early in the morning?

Just bring it, unless you want a beating.

It disappears from my bag
every time I go to the bank.

Who else could it be?

I told you, she's possessed.

That's right.
There's a ghost on your back.

What? You psycho. Hey!

By the way, sir,

will you leave alone again this time?

It looks like it.

None of the women I met

could see the sword.

I am somewhat relieved.

When I see you in pain
because of the sword,

I wish you'd find your bride quickly,

but when I see you like this,
I wish no one would know.

That's the greed of human beings.

I am relieved as well.

You are still by my side,

and I have plenty of alcohol.

I'd like to live for tonight at least.

Cheers to that.

When I turned nine,

I decided never to do this again,

but it's urgent. Please understand.

Please let me find a job,

do something about my aunt's family,

and please let me get a boyfriend.

Please let me find a job,

do something about my aunt's family,

and save me from this misery.

At least grant me one tiny...

What am I doing?

To whom am I praying?

Deities just don't exist.

Don't tell me it's going to rain
on top of this!

Is this a shower or a monsoon?

Will the rain ever stop?

I only have two umbrellas at home.

Why do you keep making it rain?

Was it you?

Oh my gosh.

Me?

Me?

Were you talking to me?

Yes, you. Was it you?

-What do you mean?
-Did you call me here?

Me? I didn't call you.

Yes, you did.

How did you do it?

How could I?

I really didn't call you.

You definitely did.

Think about how you did it.

Desperately?

I didn't call you.

I just see you, that's all.

Last time, I looked you in the eye
by mistake on the street.

That was you, right?

What do you mean, you see me?

You're a ghost.

I see ghosts.

-I'm not a ghost.
-They all say that at first.

What are you?

Why can't I see the things I normally see?

What should you see?

Your future at age 20, 30, and so forth.

I must not have a future.

Were you a shaman
before you died or something?

Or a con-artist?

Future? Give me a break.

What? What did you say?

Go to a good place.

It doesn't do any good
to wander for too long.

But what are the flowers for?

Why are you asking? You said to leave.

Fine. Go, then.

Buckwheat flowers.

That's not what I'm asking.

Why are you holding them?

Give them to me. They don't suit you.

I've never heard that before.
Seriously, never.

You can give them to me.

Today is my birthday.

A very depressing birthday.

I always receive greens on my birthday.

When I turned nine, I received cabbage.

But what do buckwheat flowers mean?

Lover.

Why were you crying?

A job, your aunt's family,
and a boyfriend.

Which of the three?

How did you know that?

I heard you.

What do you mean, you heard me?

At times, I grant people's wishes.

You grant people's wishes?

Like a genie?

Or a guardian?

Really? No wonder.

You seemed different from
the other ghosts when I first saw you.

Are you really my guardian?

I never said I was your guardian.

My mom told me

everyone is born
with their own dictionary.

My dictionary

doesn't have words like
"happiness" or "luck",

no matter how hard I look.

You understand what I mean, right?

-Not really.
-I mean,

can you give me about five million won?

If cash is difficult,

maybe the numbers to this week's lottery?
Something like that.

Say goodbye to your aunt's family.

You won't see them for a while.

Work hard at the chicken restaurant.

You'll nail it.

Hey!

What about my boyfriend?

Hello? Mister!

How rude!

We've met before.

I guess we have.

I've heard a lot of rumors about you.

They're mostly exaggerated.

Why are you in my home?

Do you live here?

We'll leave the furniture,
so all you have to do is move in...

When did you get home, Uncle?

-Explain.
-Uncle,

the house will be empty
for 20 years anyway.

I just got curious about

how much 20 years of rent would add up to.

Do you even know what you brought home?

-That thing is--
-Don't talk to our tenant like that.

He's running a teahouse.

I'm sorry.
My uncle doesn't go out very often.

-Have some coffee.
-Thanks.

I didn't receive the money yet.

I saw a new car downstairs.

It's the tenant's car.

It's not my car. And the money has been...

already paid.

Considering the circumstances,
I'll give back your money, so leave.

I understand what you mean,

but I already signed the lease.

I hope that wasn't anything important.

That was a copy.
The original is with the realtor.

I'll move in tomorrow.
It's supposed to be a lucky day.

If you're done, go.

The best I can treat you is that coffee.

You go and pack up.

It'd take a while
if you're packing for 20 years.

So you want to upset a Goblin, is that it?

You know what it means to sign
a contract with the Grim Reaper.

I don't mind taking that boy
instead of this house.

I guess I have no choice.

We have a lot of empty rooms, so pick one.

Make yourself at home.

-It is my home.
-It's my home.

Good luck on trying to kick out
a Goblin from his own house.

It can't get any more barbaric than that.

That's the filthy diet I heard all about.

Sorry. My mistake.

I was trying to pepper my food.

Sorry. My mistake.

I was trying to put it on you.

-What?
-I thought we agreed on being rude.

This, that, hey, and you.

Lover?

Lover my foot.

A guardian? You've got to be kidding me.

I wish I'd asked for his number.

-I knew it would be you.
-My goodness.

Why do you keep following me?

I'm not. You called me.

I did not.

If I had such an ability,
why would I suffer like this?

How did I call you?
Did I ring bells or something?

Why are you asking me?

It's because you keep on insisting,
when I didn't call you.

Anyway, are you really my guardian?

What kind of guardian are you?

A shameful one? A concerned one?

Are you sure you're a guardian?

When you mentioned "chicken" last time,
was it a poultry farm?

Am I going to work at a poultry farm?

-No.
-Then where is it?

You got my hopes up for nothing.

Do you even know what you're doing to me--

No.

I never called you.

It's you. I'm sure of it.

This has never happened to me before.

Is it really me?

Seriously?

If that's true,

what on earth am I?

I know.

What?

Tell me what you see when you look at me.

You're wearing a uniform.

What else?

A pretty...

uniform.

Is that all?

Don't you see wings or anything?

I must be a fairy.

Tinker Bell.

Gosh, I was only joking.

Darn it. I forgot to ask for his number.

In the name of the Father, the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Let us pray.

Thank you for gracing us
with your divine blessings.

We long to be closer to you.

We ask for your mercy.

We always...

I got it. I know how I can call you.

Okay, but did you really
have to call me here?

Are you scared?

I heard they're nice.

Don't try to flatter them.
You questioned the gods before.

I'm just trying to figure out where it is.

Why aren't you using your flame
to disappear?

I can't do it here.

You can consider this place
to be like a demilitarized zone.

Don't follow me.

What will you do about my wishes?

You didn't grant three out of three
of them.

I'll take care of it soon,
including your job.

I'm talking about my boyfriend.

You need to work on that, too.

You shouldn't treat me like this.

I know exactly how it works now.

It's literally like having your number.

Wow.

I didn't think this would work.

Then why did you do it?

Wait.

Did you just grab me?

I can't hold it anymore. That's hot.

I thought it'd feel cold since it's blue.

Don't you know that blue flames
are the hottest?

You should study more.

Gosh.

I was always top of my class even though
I had no parents to support me.

Forget it.

Instead of being my guardian,

can you just give me five million won
and go away?

I have work I have to attend to.

What work?

You're dressed very formally.

Tomorrow's the death anniversary
of someone I know.

Why are you leaving today?
Is it in the countryside?

It's tomorrow over there.

When are you coming back?
Tomorrow? The day after?

-There is something I want to ask you.
-Hurry up, then.

This question might sound strange,

so I hope you don't take it the wrong way.

All right, go.

At first, I thought you were
the Grim Reaper.

However, if you were so,
you would have taken me already.

After that, I thought you were a ghost.

However,

I noticed your shadow.

So I thought it over a little bit.

"What is that man?"

So what am I?

A Goblin.

Are you a Goblin by any chance?

What are you?

-How did you know that?
-It's awkward to say this myself,

but I'm the Goblin's bride.

You know that I can see ghosts, right?

When I was born,

I had this on my back.

I think this is why the ghosts
say that I'm the Goblin's bride.

Do you see that right there?
There's a mark.

You see it here, right?

Prove it.

You want me to prove
that I'm the Goblin's bride?

Yes.

How? What?
Do you want me to fly or something?

Or do you want me to change into a broom?

Go ahead.

-I'm very serious right now.
-I am too.

Tell me what you see when you look at me.

-Are you getting back at me?
-Tell me everything you see.

-You're very tall.
-And?

-Your clothes look expensive.
-And?

-You're in your mid-30s.
-And?

Don't tell me you want me to say
you're handsome, right?

You should've had the answer
I wanted to hear.

If that's all you see,
then you're not the Goblin's bride.

You have no value to the Goblin.

I'm sorry that you see ghosts,
but you should be thankful to be alive.

You're just a side effect

from breaching the rules
and meddling with human lives.

What if I don't want to be thankful?

You can just die
like you were supposed to.

How can you say...

Fine. I'll ask you again.

Are you...

a Goblin by any chance?

-No.
-You're not?

-No.
-Then what are you?

Who are you to judge whether
I'm valuable or not?

You wanted your life
to become a tiny bit better.

I'm someone who is
a tiny bit concerned about your life.

Live in reality, not in rumors...

because you aren't the Goblin's bride.

Wait!

-I'm not done with--
-Goodness.

Did you just follow me through that door?

How did you get in?

I grabbed the handle, pushed the door,

and followed after...

By the way, where are we?

That's why I'm asking you.
How did you enter that door?

Are we in Paju?
Is this the English Village there?

But it seems kind of strange.

What in the world happened? Where are we?

-We're in Canada.
-Canada?

Canada...

The maple country?

Where there are auroras?
Are we really in a foreign country?

This is amazing! I didn't know
you could do something like this.

You can, too. Seriously, who are you?

If we're really in Canada
and if you can do something like this,

I've made my decision.

-What do you mean?
-I've made up my mind.

-What are you talking about?
-I'll marry you.

No matter how much I think about it,
you really do seem like the Goblin.

I love you.

Is this the place?
A red carpet just for me?

You're honored to walk with me, right?

Who on earth are you?

I'll become your bride in about 200 years.

It looks like she'll keep summoning me.

I'd like to appear smart
and perfect all the time.

Were you too manly?

-Deok-hwa.
-Is something wrong?

Who says I'll be your bride?

Be careful of a man wearing a hat.
A pit-black hat.

Am I going to die? I'm only 19.

People die even when they are nine or ten.

That's what death is.
