Guardian: The Lonely and Great God (2016–2017): Season 1, Episode 14 - Episode #1.14 - full transcript
Forgive me.
I can finally notify you...
of my brave death.
No!
No.
No.
No.
Meeting you...
was the reward of my life.
No.
Please.
You said you wouldn't let go of my hand.
You promised me.
I will come as the rain.
I will come as the first snowfall.
I will beg the Almighty...
to let me do that at least.
Don't do this.
Don't go like this.
I can't live without you.
I love you.
I love you.
So do I.
I love you.
I have already...
done that.
No...
PHYSICS OF LOVE
LIKE AN APPLE
IT WAS FIRST LOVE
IT WAS FIRST LOVE
Remember.
You must remember.
His name is
Kim Shin.
He's tall
and has a sad smile.
He'll come as the rain
and as the first snowfall.
He'll keep his promise.
Remember.
You must remember.
You are
his bride.
The Almighty said...
You have been erased from the memories
of all who knew you.
That is for the sake of their peace
and it is my grace.
He also said
your punishment is over.
That you can forget everything
and go to sleep at peace.
But
the Goblin's eyes
filled with tears.
I understand now
what choice I make.
In the end,
that's the decision I made.
I wish
to remain here.
I will remain
and become the rain.
I will become the wind.
I will become the first snowfall.
Just that one thing...
Just for that one thing.
I ask for permission from above.
It was indeed a foolish choice he made.
I was always a part of your life.
However, in this place,
I am...
no longer here.
The Goblin was left alone like that.
He got stuck between this life
and the afterlife,
between light and death,
where even the Almighty had abandoned.
He got stuck for all of eternity.
Poor Goblin.
So?
What happened to the Goblin?
I don't know.
Memories will soon be forgotten,
and only the glorious
futility will remain.
He will walk in that futility
endlessly...
again and again.
What will happen to him
after that endless walk?
Where will he arrive at?
That's one sad story.
How much is this?
9 YEARS LATER
Have a sensible...
Have a sensible weekend.
It's ten minutes before showtime.
Here's the script, Ms. Ji.
Thanks.
JI EUN-TAK
RADIO PRODUCER
Eun-tak, it's raining.
It's getting heavier.
Are we in Southeast Asia or what?
What's up with the weather forecast?
They said it was going to be sunny.
I know. I didn't bring an umbrella.
That's not the problem.
What do we do with the opening comments?
We have no choice, do we?
We can't make the rain stop,
so let's just rewrite it.
We can use today's comments
on a sunny day.
The first song is all right.
It's nice to start a gloomy day
with a bright song.
Just take out the phrases that don't
fit the weather...
I'm on it already.
Poor me.
It's eight minutes before we go on air.
KYEONG-MI
Lend me 300,000 won. It's urgent.
Reply as soon as possible.
- I'll go select the songs.
- Okay.
Who are you, Mister?
Was I mistaken?
I guess so.
That was 20 years ago.
Did Mom leave me this?
Since when did I have
this necklace?
STARS MIGHT TAKE YOUR SORROW AWAY
"On that desert,
he was so lonely
that he sometimes walked backward.
He wanted to see the footsteps he made
in front of him."
How did...
only this part get burnt?
Welcome.
You're beautiful as always.
Give me soju.
Why? Your show today was good.
Did the chief yell at you again?
Being good is useless.
I'm about to get fired
since we don't have enough ads.
And we made a big fuss
because of the unexpected rain.
- I'll have the fried and spicy one.
- Fried and spicy chicken, please.
Go get the soju yourself.
I'm a customer too, you know.
Hey, Class President. Sit there.
Until when will you call
her the class president?
Welcome. Eun-tak already ordered food.
Okay.
I want beer.
Did you win the trial?
I wouldn't be here if I lost.
- Do you want to go on a blind date?
- I don't like lawyers.
It's a chef this time.
He's frequently on cooking shows,
and he looks like a puppy when he smiles.
He's cute.
- Why would I date a guy who is your type?
- Why would I date a fan of your show?
He always puts on your show during lunch.
Am I the only friend you talk about?
Grab the chance when you can.
Look at me.
The easiest thing for me
was being someone's first love.
Now there's not a single guy
asking me out for a cup of coffee.
Yes. Don't be like her.
What do you mean by that?
I thought you were the perfect example
to help her understanding.
Is she your only friend, Eun-tak?
Is this the only place
we can come to drink?
It's raining,
and the soju tastes bitter.
And I have two friends who worry about me.
It's a nice day.
I thought she was the Goblin's bride.
Why can't she see us?
She used to be the Goblin's bride.
She's 29, and the Goblin
hasn't appeared yet.
So she's practically a widow now.
She used to be able to see me before.
What's wrong with me?
Why am I so sad?
Why do I keep feeling like this?
ON THE DAY OF THE FIRST SNOWFALL
THE GOBLIN AGREES TO BE SUMMONED BY ME
It's the first snowfall.
You're right. It's really early this year.
- It's still nice, isn't it?
- Yes.
What have I forgotten?
Whom...
have I forgotten?
Whose face have I forgotten?
What promise have I forgotten...
to be in such profound sorrow?
Somebody...
Anybody, please...
Please save me.
Me?
Yes, you. Was it you?
Don't do this.
Don't do this. Don't go like this.
I love you.
I'm sorry.
My mood swings can get severe. I'm sorry.
What am I doing?
Why am I the one apologizing?
What are you doing right now?
Why did you hug me?
Do you know me? Who are you?
I am the one in your contract.
Contract?
Are you an actor?
- The drama department is-
- Did your dream come true?
What are you talking about?
I'm proud of you.
Sure, thanks.
So why did you hug me back there?
And why do you keep
talking casually to me?
You have been erased from the memories
of all who knew you.
That is for the sake of their peace
and it is my grace.
As long as you're at peace, I'm fine.
That's all I need.
Are you acting right now?
The drama department
isn't inside this building.
It's the annex in the back.
By the way, how did you get in here
without an ID?
Because someone called for me.
- Deok-hwa.
- Go ahead.
I am the president.
You are just an assistant manager.
Go back to your position.
I thought no one noticed that.
Deok-hwa.
You can't be in here.
- We're sorry.
- That man
just said my name, didn't he?
He said, "Deok-hwa."
- Deok-hwa.
- Please leave.
Leave him alone.
Let's hear him out.
I thought I would never see you again.
I am glad to see you.
Please speak from there. Right there.
Who are you? Do you know me?
I was your uncle, your brother-
- He must be a lunatic.
- I am not a lunatic.
I'm hungry. Let's go. What should we eat?
I made a reservation at a place
that you'd like.
Deok-hwa.
It's so strange.
He said he was my uncle.
My uncle's existence
is Cheonwoo Group's top secret.
Something only Grandpa and I know.
I guess one more person found out.
Who?
By any chance,
is your uncle's name Kim Shin?
Come on, Mr. Kim.
He's my uncle.
Why would his last name be Kim? It's Yoo.
- Who's Kim Shin?
- Just eat.
A family secret...
Every corporate heir
has a tragic story like that.
Mr. Kim, don't you worry.
How did I work my way up from the bottom?
I had seollongtang for lunch
for years now.
I'll eat this and protect my company.
Like a corporate heir.
Deok-hwa. It is not "my company."
It belongs to all the employees here.
They are protecting it well,
so don't be too energetic.
Lunchtime is over.
Thank you for lunch.
But I'm not...
I'm still...
Here are the gift sets.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Enjoy.
Excuse me.
Yes?
Just a minute.
I had you close to me,
but I did not recognize you.
You were
Wang Yeo.
You couldn't protect your woman,
your loyal subjects, your land of Goryeo,
or even yourself.
You couldn't protect a single thing.
I have finally realized what this sword
was meant to do.
To strike Park Joong-heon.
Forgive me.
I can finally notify you...
of my brave death.
What a vulgar hat you're wearing
still.
Are you the Goblin
rumored to have returned to ashes?
Rumors about me are overstated.
I guess you didn't return to ashes
or get scattered in the wind or rain.
Obviously,
you didn't turn into
something hideous either.
What happened?
I thought you wouldn't remember.
All memories about me
should have disappeared.
It did for everyone else,
but I retained my memories.
I'm not sure,
but I have one hypothesis.
I'll stand on your side
until the very end, Tenant Uncle.
I promise.
It was a moment of weakness for me.
Seriously.
If you're going to take sides anyway,
leave Yeo's memories alone.
Why?
I feel so bad for Shin and Eun-tak.
An entire world closed for them.
I feel like someone other than us
should remember the history of their love.
But you know,
why do I feel like
I found a door that will reopen
a world that has disappeared?
Did I not close it all the way?
What happened to you?
How are you back?
Because of the contract with Eun-tak.
I'm glad you're back.
I'm really
glad you're back.
It's nice to have someone greet me.
I'm so shameless.
Although it's late...
I know it's too late.
I should've done it nine years ago.
I should've done it 900 years ago.
Please forgive me for saying it...
so late.
Please forgive me
for not protecting my love
or you, who protected my Goryeo.
I had received love,
but I did not love anyone.
Please forgive me.
You need a haircut.
I've finally returned to my home.
This is my home.
I have ten years left on the lease.
What about my sister?
I don't see her, of course.
Longing for her
has been my punishment
for the past nine years.
I'm forever a sinner anyway.
Did you see Eun-tak?
Yes.
She doesn't remember, does she?
No.
She became a producer at a radio station.
She looked good.
I listen to it sometimes.
Let me know so that I can listen too.
It's Deok-hwa.
Deok-hwa.
Hide. Over here.
Tenant Uncle.
Hi. What's up?
I met someone strange at the office today,
so I felt a bit uneasy.
I wanted to see how you were doing.
- Tenant Uncle.
- Yes?
If you're my uncle,
I should just call you Uncle.
Why are you "Tenant Uncle"?
Come to think of it,
when did you start living here?
It's all in the lease.
True. Why are there two bottles of beer?
Is someone here?
I like to double fist, that's all.
Then whose feet are sticking out
from behind the couch?
This couch is very nice.
The owner has good taste.
The fabric is excellent.
You're that guy from earlier.
That strange...
You got a haircut.
I like the new style.
I am his friend. I'm here to-
He's leaving. He was just about to.
I had fun.
Go.
Yes.
I should.
Go.
It was good to meet you.
- Sure.
- What a gaudy outfit.
What's going on?
Is Tenant Uncle a part of
the secret of my birth?
Gosh.
Didn't you hear a door slam upstairs?
- No.
- I heard it.
- No.
- I heard it for sure.
You heard nothing. Deok-hwa.
Look into my eyes.
The temperature dropped
to 22 degrees Celsius
and it's getting quite chilly.
Here's our last song for the day.
Don't catch a cold.
What should we do?
She said 22 degrees Celsius,
when she should've said
two degrees Celsius.
It was...
because of my typo.
It's so obvious I'm not the writer.
Our chief producer's on the way.
Don't worry, I'll take the blame.
What? 22 degrees Celsius?
"The temperature dropped
to 22 degrees Celsius
and it's getting quite chilly.
Don't catch a cold."
Does that make any sense?
I'm sorry, sir.
Are you dating?
Do you think it's spring?
Why don't you ask for flowers to bloom?
I'm sorry, sir.
No way. Is this true?
Ms. Ji, are you a magician?
It's all over social media.
Outside our office building.
The temperature is exactly
22 degrees Celsius
and flowers are in full bloom
in the middle of winter.
The temperature in Sangam-dong
reached 22 degrees Celsius today.
It has been nine years since the abnormal
climate change, and citizens have stopped
to enjoy the cherry blossoms
in full bloom.
What could be going on?
Isn't it so weird?
It makes no sense.
We lose most of our listeners
around this time of year.
We need to come up with a way
to keep our listeners hooked to our show.
Okay. I'll send you my proposal soon,
so take a look.
Who on earth is that guy?
What's wrong with me?
My medication only lasts so long.
What I meant was...
What's going on?
What do you mean?
Why are you sitting there?
Someone called me.
That's your problem.
I don't want to sit with you.
Did that person
not show up?
She's here.
But she doesn't recognize me.
I see.
I feel sorry for you,
but I'm supposed to meet someone here.
My boyfriend will be here.
I don't think you have one.
I hope the email went. It's important.
You cut your hair.
I almost didn't recognize you.
- You still don't recognize me.
- I did.
Earlier today...
You were there, weren't you?
I tend to be everywhere and nowhere.
Outside the building
when the temperature
was 22 degrees Celsius
I was there to see someone.
I missed her very much.
When I look at her,
I feel like she'll run into my arms.
But because I know that will not happen,
my heart aches.
Why are you
telling me that?
You asked.
Shouldn't you order something?
- Enjoy your drink.
- Thanks.
- Thank you-
- How can you not have 5,000 won?
Why are you even here?
My wallet is in my coat pocket.
I had no time to get my coat.
I'm sorry. Thank you for the drink.
I'll pay you back next time when-
I won't be seeing you again.
Where are you headed?
I go that way. Wait...
She could've stayed a while longer.
Lend me 5,000 won to pay a debt.
Close the door!
How am I supposed to fix this?
I need 10,000 won
to buy a book.
Where's the person I called
to come and fix this?
Give me 100,000 won to buy some meat.
Please.
There must be a reason the Almighty
didn't wipe my memories of you.
It is a great pity
that you put it that way.
I must resort to my final option.
You can't summon up
gold bars like you used to.
They have serial numbers
and they can't be traded.
This is so confusing.
Is that the only thing I can do?
What is it?
My house is very secure.
We have a high-tech security system.
How did you...
Who are you?
I am
water and fire,
light and darkness.
To you, I am Yoo Shin-jae.
To you, I am Kim Shin.
Are you the uncle
my grandfather told me about?
He's the man mentioned
in the late president's will.
Grandpa's will?
Not only was it his will,
but the will of every one
of your ancestors.
If someone
by the last name Kim
and first name Shin comes to you
and says that he is here
to retrieve his belongings,
give it to him.
All I've left behind belongs to him.
He will come to you through rain
and leave as a blue flame.
Then you will know it's him.
I miss President Yoo dearly tonight.
I do not want the company.
The Yoo family founded it,
so it is now yours, Deok-hwa.
All I require is my house, my identity,
a credit card, and a nephew.
I will honor President Yoo's wishes.
I will furnish you with a house,
identity, and a credit card.
You are my nephew.
But the thing is...
It's fine if you didn't notice.
Notice what?
Ji Eun-tak!
What exactly did you say on the phone?
Because of what you said,
our website is flooded with complaints.
I sent out kitchen knives as a gift,
but people keep calling to ask
for coupons for clothing.
The writers couldn't concentrate
on their work.
What are we, an apparel company?
What will you do about this?
Where do you think
we get your salary from?
The knife company and the apparel company
both want to cancel their advertisements.
It's a total mess!
Find whatever company you can
to sponsor and advertise on your show.
If you can't, you're fired.
Sir.
- What?
- I'll do my best.
It won't be easy, but I'll give it a try.
That nutcase.
Sang-hoon asked me out yesterday.
- Really?
- Yes, Sang-hoon from the next classroom.
Are you serious?
Young kids these days.
Why are you laughing?
Because it was cute.
I guess they are.
Not them.
By the way,
are you not going to pay me back
the 5,000 won?
If I don't, will we meet again?
Will you come see me for the money?
I will for the crime you're committing.
You do know what I mean, right?
I don't.
I'm saying I'll call the police
if this happens again.
I don't understand
why we keep running into each other.
What are you laughing at this time?
Because I'm very happy.
Because this is an unbelievable moment.
Because everything is perfect.
What on earth? Would avoiding you
be the wisest thing to do?
Which direction are you headed?
You're leaving again.
I'll tune into your show. I'm a big fan.
How did you know that I do radio shows?
You've become really suspicious now.
I thought you were an actor back then.
That's not true, is it?
I'm sorry,
but what do you do for a living?
Well...
There. I work there.
At that furniture company?
What do you do there?
I...
I'm the highest person at that company.
- Excuse me.
- You were looking at their papers.
Hand them over.
It's regarding a sponsorship, right?
Give them to me. I'll prove
that I'm the highest person there.
An executive usually signs this,
but the CEO has asked for a favor.
He's the CEO?
Does he work here at the headquarters?
He doesn't come to work.
CHEONWOO GROUP
KIM DO-YEONG
Then how should I show my gratitude?
Frankly speaking,
I don't even know his number.
Yet he said I should sign these documents?
Why is that?
Exactly. I wonder why.
Can you give me your contact information?
I'll give it to him.
Thank you.
By the way, is his name...
This is strange, isn't it?
It turns out that way
when you are involved with him.
His name is Yoo Shin-jae.
I see. Thank you.
- Ms. Ji.
- Ms. Ji.
- Ms. Ji.
- Way to go!
What happened?
How did you land the sponsorship?
I don't know.
I feel like I was put under a spell.
It feels like a miracle.
I can't explain it in any other way.
Who cares? What's important is
that our show will survive
through the company restructuring.
- You're the best.
- You're the best, Ms. Ji.
With that going for us,
let's do our best on our next project.
"We will find who you're looking for.
We will find you a person
you've forgotten over the years.
We will help you find lost memories
and forgotten faces.
If you send us your story,
we'll introduce it on the show
and connect you to the person
you're looking for."
This sounds good.
Search through your photos on your phones
and organize stories
until the next meeting.
Sincerity is what we're looking for.
I can tell if it's fake.
Yes, she really can. Do try your best.
Okay.
Whose call are you waiting for?
He's not calling.
This is a good project.
Maybe I should look for my first love.
You should look for that person. Kim Shin.
Should I?
By the way,
was that really your handwriting?
It was. That's why it's so strange.
It must've been a ghost.
You saw ghosts until
you were in high school.
I hadn't been able to
for nine or ten years.
I'm seeing them again nowadays.
There's one behind you now!
Goodness, Eun-tak!
Can you hand me the napkin?
I'm seriously going to kill you.
YOU MUST REMEMBER. HIS NAME IS KIM SHIN.
YOU ARE HIS BRIDE.
What on earth are you?
Why am I your bride?
"You are his bride."
Who are you?
Tenant Uncle.
This got mailed to a small building I own.
I don't understand.
It's where the chicken place used to be.
I couldn't just throw it out.
I have business to attend to.
I don't know when I can come here again.
You can wait for me, right?
You could give it to this person.
Is your name Ji Eun-tak, sir?
Why do you have so many names?
You deliver it to her.
What am I supposed to say to her
when we meet?
Then I'll go.
Then give it to Sunny
and ask her to deliver it.
For some reason, she's living
on a rooftop where Sunny lives.
They're neighbors now.
That won't change anything.
It'll make me even more suspicious.
I'll do it.
I'll look the least suspicious
since I own the building.
Since this is already strange,
I think it's best if you go
since you're a stranger to them.
I'll do it.
The owner there is really pretty.
I'll go. Hello?
After nine years,
you finally have an excuse.
Can't you guys hear me?
Who am I talking to right now?
Welcome.
Where's the owner?
She won't be here today.
Where's the owner?
She won't be here today either.
What's going on?
- Enjoy.
- Thank you.
- Where's the owner?
- She won't be here today.
What's your name if I may ask?
Do you want me to call her?
No.
Just give her this.
Okay.
What is this?
I know. What is that?
It came to the old store,
not even the current one.
Supposedly, the owner of the building
gave it to a good-looking guy,
and that guy brought it over.
So I checked my surveillance video.
He's seriously good-looking.
The old store?
Where was that?
That's what's strange.
It's international mail, too.
It's not like you ever came
to that old store.
It's so strange.
He's so good-looking,
and that's what makes it stranger.
What could this be?
JI EUN-TAK
This is my handwriting.
Hi, Mom.
To my pretty Mom,
who's probably always worrying about me.
How's the afterlife?
Is it like here?
I am writing you a letter from Canada.
You'd be so shocked
if you knew how I got here.
Just by opening one door,
I can enter a paradise like this.
As long as I'm with him.
I finally have someone
who asks how I'm doing.
You may worry and feel bad
about me seeing things
that I shouldn't,
but you don't have to anymore.
Because that is what made me
special to someone.
I'm doing well, Mom.
And I'll become even better.
I'll live a good life
and become happier than anyone.
Let's meet again someday.
I love you, Mom.
From Canada, your daughter, Eun-tak.
From Canada?
I don't even have a passport.
What is this?
This is scaring me.
REMEMBER. HIS NAME IS KIM SHIN.
Is the man in this letter...
Kim Shin?
What in the world happened nine years ago?
What did I forget?
Hello?
This is Yoo Shin-jae.
Hello. Just a minute.
Hello?
Hello?
Were you waiting for my call?
I've been a bit busy,
so I even forgot
that I gave you my number.
I see.
I didn't get to thank you before.
Thank you.
Then would you like
to take a walk with me?
Where did you say you lived?
Me?
I didn't tell you where I live.
So where do you live?
I live near the Art Platform
in Incheon.
Where near the Art Platform?
My living situation is quite complicated.
Where are you?
I feel like
I'll be near the Art Platform
in about half an hour.
Are you asking me out on a date?
Yes.
I've decided
to go on a date with you.
Call me when you're nearby.
About half an hour from now.
I like that scent too.
This is a scent that women like.
You must know a lot about women's perfume.
Do you not like the fact that I know
a lot about women's perfume?
Who am I to judge?
You are the only woman
who knows my number.
Really? Why?
That's strange.
There's nothing strange about it.
I just got my phone.
I didn't need a phone for a while.
I was somewhere where phones didn't work.
There was just a lot of snow.
Excuse me for a minute.
I keep forgetting.
I have to take it regularly.
What is that for?
It's medicine to heal the soul.
How long has it been?
May I ask why?
To be honest, I don't know
how it started.
You may run away.
I was being honest to give you
the opportunity.
I'm the one who's strange, right?
I'll just try to become stranger.
I'm going on vacation.
I'm telling you in advance
in case you drop in
at Art Platform randomly again.
Where are you going?
Abroad.
It's my first time going abroad
so I'm very nervous.
I'm so lame, aren't I?
You won't be nervous
even if it's your first.
It'll be natural
as if it weren't your first time.
You'll act as if you live there,
so don't worry.
But you don't know me very well.
Trust me.
Here we go.
One, two.
VACATION REQUEST
REQUEST SUBMITTED
I feel like there's something there,
so I want to go check.
What's there?
That's why I'm going there to find out.
Sure. If you don't know,
you should go and ask.
Go and ask before you get any older.
You know,
it's an international crime to wear
a hooded sweatshirt abroad, right?
Okay.
It's your first trip abroad.
Let's try to be more fashionable.
Okay.
By the way,
you made a lot of money through
your successful business.
Why haven't you moved?
Didn't you know?
I own this building. I bought it.
How could I not know?
You told me 100 times.
I asked why you don't move.
It's too much of a bother.
And I have a new house phobia.
There's no such thing.
There isn't?
These tangerines taste good.
- They're really sweet.
- Right.
Excuse me.
I have received this letter.
It is from this hotel.
Yes, this is from us.
You're Korean. I'm so relieved.
This hotel was built by a Korean.
Oh, I see.
We repaired the letterboxes
and drops on every floor
and found a few letters
that had gotten caught.
We'd never found one
from ten years ago though.
How do you know it's that old?
The design of the envelope
is from ten years ago.
It must've been a fond memory.
I apologize it took so long.
That's fine.
There must be a reason it took so long.
I was told that every step
the Almighty takes has a reason.
I wonder who told me that though.
This is lovely.
This is just so weird.
How can we bump into each other here?
I'm on a business trip.
I'm here to research
designs to put on
the corners of our furniture.
What are you saying?
How have you been?
Are you
following me?
Is that a crime?
- What should I do?
- I'm not a bad man.
How would I know that?
By spending time with me.
I have no reason to do that.
My company sponsored your radio show.
You offered to buy me a meal.
Is this your first time in Canada, sir?
Let's go this way.
To the one who thought that
oblivion would bring me peace of mind.
I wanted to meet you.
I pray that in our next life
the wait will be short
and the meeting shall be long.
Very long.
Goodbye.
Have we
met before?
About ten years ago?
Over here.
Are you a ghost?
Even the deepest sorrow
can't last 1,000 years.
I vote to disagree.
On which one?
Sorrow or love?
Sorrowful love.
I can finally notify you...
of my brave death.
No!
No.
No.
No.
Meeting you...
was the reward of my life.
No.
Please.
You said you wouldn't let go of my hand.
You promised me.
I will come as the rain.
I will come as the first snowfall.
I will beg the Almighty...
to let me do that at least.
Don't do this.
Don't go like this.
I can't live without you.
I love you.
I love you.
So do I.
I love you.
I have already...
done that.
No...
PHYSICS OF LOVE
LIKE AN APPLE
IT WAS FIRST LOVE
IT WAS FIRST LOVE
Remember.
You must remember.
His name is
Kim Shin.
He's tall
and has a sad smile.
He'll come as the rain
and as the first snowfall.
He'll keep his promise.
Remember.
You must remember.
You are
his bride.
The Almighty said...
You have been erased from the memories
of all who knew you.
That is for the sake of their peace
and it is my grace.
He also said
your punishment is over.
That you can forget everything
and go to sleep at peace.
But
the Goblin's eyes
filled with tears.
I understand now
what choice I make.
In the end,
that's the decision I made.
I wish
to remain here.
I will remain
and become the rain.
I will become the wind.
I will become the first snowfall.
Just that one thing...
Just for that one thing.
I ask for permission from above.
It was indeed a foolish choice he made.
I was always a part of your life.
However, in this place,
I am...
no longer here.
The Goblin was left alone like that.
He got stuck between this life
and the afterlife,
between light and death,
where even the Almighty had abandoned.
He got stuck for all of eternity.
Poor Goblin.
So?
What happened to the Goblin?
I don't know.
Memories will soon be forgotten,
and only the glorious
futility will remain.
He will walk in that futility
endlessly...
again and again.
What will happen to him
after that endless walk?
Where will he arrive at?
That's one sad story.
How much is this?
9 YEARS LATER
Have a sensible...
Have a sensible weekend.
It's ten minutes before showtime.
Here's the script, Ms. Ji.
Thanks.
JI EUN-TAK
RADIO PRODUCER
Eun-tak, it's raining.
It's getting heavier.
Are we in Southeast Asia or what?
What's up with the weather forecast?
They said it was going to be sunny.
I know. I didn't bring an umbrella.
That's not the problem.
What do we do with the opening comments?
We have no choice, do we?
We can't make the rain stop,
so let's just rewrite it.
We can use today's comments
on a sunny day.
The first song is all right.
It's nice to start a gloomy day
with a bright song.
Just take out the phrases that don't
fit the weather...
I'm on it already.
Poor me.
It's eight minutes before we go on air.
KYEONG-MI
Lend me 300,000 won. It's urgent.
Reply as soon as possible.
- I'll go select the songs.
- Okay.
Who are you, Mister?
Was I mistaken?
I guess so.
That was 20 years ago.
Did Mom leave me this?
Since when did I have
this necklace?
STARS MIGHT TAKE YOUR SORROW AWAY
"On that desert,
he was so lonely
that he sometimes walked backward.
He wanted to see the footsteps he made
in front of him."
How did...
only this part get burnt?
Welcome.
You're beautiful as always.
Give me soju.
Why? Your show today was good.
Did the chief yell at you again?
Being good is useless.
I'm about to get fired
since we don't have enough ads.
And we made a big fuss
because of the unexpected rain.
- I'll have the fried and spicy one.
- Fried and spicy chicken, please.
Go get the soju yourself.
I'm a customer too, you know.
Hey, Class President. Sit there.
Until when will you call
her the class president?
Welcome. Eun-tak already ordered food.
Okay.
I want beer.
Did you win the trial?
I wouldn't be here if I lost.
- Do you want to go on a blind date?
- I don't like lawyers.
It's a chef this time.
He's frequently on cooking shows,
and he looks like a puppy when he smiles.
He's cute.
- Why would I date a guy who is your type?
- Why would I date a fan of your show?
He always puts on your show during lunch.
Am I the only friend you talk about?
Grab the chance when you can.
Look at me.
The easiest thing for me
was being someone's first love.
Now there's not a single guy
asking me out for a cup of coffee.
Yes. Don't be like her.
What do you mean by that?
I thought you were the perfect example
to help her understanding.
Is she your only friend, Eun-tak?
Is this the only place
we can come to drink?
It's raining,
and the soju tastes bitter.
And I have two friends who worry about me.
It's a nice day.
I thought she was the Goblin's bride.
Why can't she see us?
She used to be the Goblin's bride.
She's 29, and the Goblin
hasn't appeared yet.
So she's practically a widow now.
She used to be able to see me before.
What's wrong with me?
Why am I so sad?
Why do I keep feeling like this?
ON THE DAY OF THE FIRST SNOWFALL
THE GOBLIN AGREES TO BE SUMMONED BY ME
It's the first snowfall.
You're right. It's really early this year.
- It's still nice, isn't it?
- Yes.
What have I forgotten?
Whom...
have I forgotten?
Whose face have I forgotten?
What promise have I forgotten...
to be in such profound sorrow?
Somebody...
Anybody, please...
Please save me.
Me?
Yes, you. Was it you?
Don't do this.
Don't do this. Don't go like this.
I love you.
I'm sorry.
My mood swings can get severe. I'm sorry.
What am I doing?
Why am I the one apologizing?
What are you doing right now?
Why did you hug me?
Do you know me? Who are you?
I am the one in your contract.
Contract?
Are you an actor?
- The drama department is-
- Did your dream come true?
What are you talking about?
I'm proud of you.
Sure, thanks.
So why did you hug me back there?
And why do you keep
talking casually to me?
You have been erased from the memories
of all who knew you.
That is for the sake of their peace
and it is my grace.
As long as you're at peace, I'm fine.
That's all I need.
Are you acting right now?
The drama department
isn't inside this building.
It's the annex in the back.
By the way, how did you get in here
without an ID?
Because someone called for me.
- Deok-hwa.
- Go ahead.
I am the president.
You are just an assistant manager.
Go back to your position.
I thought no one noticed that.
Deok-hwa.
You can't be in here.
- We're sorry.
- That man
just said my name, didn't he?
He said, "Deok-hwa."
- Deok-hwa.
- Please leave.
Leave him alone.
Let's hear him out.
I thought I would never see you again.
I am glad to see you.
Please speak from there. Right there.
Who are you? Do you know me?
I was your uncle, your brother-
- He must be a lunatic.
- I am not a lunatic.
I'm hungry. Let's go. What should we eat?
I made a reservation at a place
that you'd like.
Deok-hwa.
It's so strange.
He said he was my uncle.
My uncle's existence
is Cheonwoo Group's top secret.
Something only Grandpa and I know.
I guess one more person found out.
Who?
By any chance,
is your uncle's name Kim Shin?
Come on, Mr. Kim.
He's my uncle.
Why would his last name be Kim? It's Yoo.
- Who's Kim Shin?
- Just eat.
A family secret...
Every corporate heir
has a tragic story like that.
Mr. Kim, don't you worry.
How did I work my way up from the bottom?
I had seollongtang for lunch
for years now.
I'll eat this and protect my company.
Like a corporate heir.
Deok-hwa. It is not "my company."
It belongs to all the employees here.
They are protecting it well,
so don't be too energetic.
Lunchtime is over.
Thank you for lunch.
But I'm not...
I'm still...
Here are the gift sets.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Enjoy.
Excuse me.
Yes?
Just a minute.
I had you close to me,
but I did not recognize you.
You were
Wang Yeo.
You couldn't protect your woman,
your loyal subjects, your land of Goryeo,
or even yourself.
You couldn't protect a single thing.
I have finally realized what this sword
was meant to do.
To strike Park Joong-heon.
Forgive me.
I can finally notify you...
of my brave death.
What a vulgar hat you're wearing
still.
Are you the Goblin
rumored to have returned to ashes?
Rumors about me are overstated.
I guess you didn't return to ashes
or get scattered in the wind or rain.
Obviously,
you didn't turn into
something hideous either.
What happened?
I thought you wouldn't remember.
All memories about me
should have disappeared.
It did for everyone else,
but I retained my memories.
I'm not sure,
but I have one hypothesis.
I'll stand on your side
until the very end, Tenant Uncle.
I promise.
It was a moment of weakness for me.
Seriously.
If you're going to take sides anyway,
leave Yeo's memories alone.
Why?
I feel so bad for Shin and Eun-tak.
An entire world closed for them.
I feel like someone other than us
should remember the history of their love.
But you know,
why do I feel like
I found a door that will reopen
a world that has disappeared?
Did I not close it all the way?
What happened to you?
How are you back?
Because of the contract with Eun-tak.
I'm glad you're back.
I'm really
glad you're back.
It's nice to have someone greet me.
I'm so shameless.
Although it's late...
I know it's too late.
I should've done it nine years ago.
I should've done it 900 years ago.
Please forgive me for saying it...
so late.
Please forgive me
for not protecting my love
or you, who protected my Goryeo.
I had received love,
but I did not love anyone.
Please forgive me.
You need a haircut.
I've finally returned to my home.
This is my home.
I have ten years left on the lease.
What about my sister?
I don't see her, of course.
Longing for her
has been my punishment
for the past nine years.
I'm forever a sinner anyway.
Did you see Eun-tak?
Yes.
She doesn't remember, does she?
No.
She became a producer at a radio station.
She looked good.
I listen to it sometimes.
Let me know so that I can listen too.
It's Deok-hwa.
Deok-hwa.
Hide. Over here.
Tenant Uncle.
Hi. What's up?
I met someone strange at the office today,
so I felt a bit uneasy.
I wanted to see how you were doing.
- Tenant Uncle.
- Yes?
If you're my uncle,
I should just call you Uncle.
Why are you "Tenant Uncle"?
Come to think of it,
when did you start living here?
It's all in the lease.
True. Why are there two bottles of beer?
Is someone here?
I like to double fist, that's all.
Then whose feet are sticking out
from behind the couch?
This couch is very nice.
The owner has good taste.
The fabric is excellent.
You're that guy from earlier.
That strange...
You got a haircut.
I like the new style.
I am his friend. I'm here to-
He's leaving. He was just about to.
I had fun.
Go.
Yes.
I should.
Go.
It was good to meet you.
- Sure.
- What a gaudy outfit.
What's going on?
Is Tenant Uncle a part of
the secret of my birth?
Gosh.
Didn't you hear a door slam upstairs?
- No.
- I heard it.
- No.
- I heard it for sure.
You heard nothing. Deok-hwa.
Look into my eyes.
The temperature dropped
to 22 degrees Celsius
and it's getting quite chilly.
Here's our last song for the day.
Don't catch a cold.
What should we do?
She said 22 degrees Celsius,
when she should've said
two degrees Celsius.
It was...
because of my typo.
It's so obvious I'm not the writer.
Our chief producer's on the way.
Don't worry, I'll take the blame.
What? 22 degrees Celsius?
"The temperature dropped
to 22 degrees Celsius
and it's getting quite chilly.
Don't catch a cold."
Does that make any sense?
I'm sorry, sir.
Are you dating?
Do you think it's spring?
Why don't you ask for flowers to bloom?
I'm sorry, sir.
No way. Is this true?
Ms. Ji, are you a magician?
It's all over social media.
Outside our office building.
The temperature is exactly
22 degrees Celsius
and flowers are in full bloom
in the middle of winter.
The temperature in Sangam-dong
reached 22 degrees Celsius today.
It has been nine years since the abnormal
climate change, and citizens have stopped
to enjoy the cherry blossoms
in full bloom.
What could be going on?
Isn't it so weird?
It makes no sense.
We lose most of our listeners
around this time of year.
We need to come up with a way
to keep our listeners hooked to our show.
Okay. I'll send you my proposal soon,
so take a look.
Who on earth is that guy?
What's wrong with me?
My medication only lasts so long.
What I meant was...
What's going on?
What do you mean?
Why are you sitting there?
Someone called me.
That's your problem.
I don't want to sit with you.
Did that person
not show up?
She's here.
But she doesn't recognize me.
I see.
I feel sorry for you,
but I'm supposed to meet someone here.
My boyfriend will be here.
I don't think you have one.
I hope the email went. It's important.
You cut your hair.
I almost didn't recognize you.
- You still don't recognize me.
- I did.
Earlier today...
You were there, weren't you?
I tend to be everywhere and nowhere.
Outside the building
when the temperature
was 22 degrees Celsius
I was there to see someone.
I missed her very much.
When I look at her,
I feel like she'll run into my arms.
But because I know that will not happen,
my heart aches.
Why are you
telling me that?
You asked.
Shouldn't you order something?
- Enjoy your drink.
- Thanks.
- Thank you-
- How can you not have 5,000 won?
Why are you even here?
My wallet is in my coat pocket.
I had no time to get my coat.
I'm sorry. Thank you for the drink.
I'll pay you back next time when-
I won't be seeing you again.
Where are you headed?
I go that way. Wait...
She could've stayed a while longer.
Lend me 5,000 won to pay a debt.
Close the door!
How am I supposed to fix this?
I need 10,000 won
to buy a book.
Where's the person I called
to come and fix this?
Give me 100,000 won to buy some meat.
Please.
There must be a reason the Almighty
didn't wipe my memories of you.
It is a great pity
that you put it that way.
I must resort to my final option.
You can't summon up
gold bars like you used to.
They have serial numbers
and they can't be traded.
This is so confusing.
Is that the only thing I can do?
What is it?
My house is very secure.
We have a high-tech security system.
How did you...
Who are you?
I am
water and fire,
light and darkness.
To you, I am Yoo Shin-jae.
To you, I am Kim Shin.
Are you the uncle
my grandfather told me about?
He's the man mentioned
in the late president's will.
Grandpa's will?
Not only was it his will,
but the will of every one
of your ancestors.
If someone
by the last name Kim
and first name Shin comes to you
and says that he is here
to retrieve his belongings,
give it to him.
All I've left behind belongs to him.
He will come to you through rain
and leave as a blue flame.
Then you will know it's him.
I miss President Yoo dearly tonight.
I do not want the company.
The Yoo family founded it,
so it is now yours, Deok-hwa.
All I require is my house, my identity,
a credit card, and a nephew.
I will honor President Yoo's wishes.
I will furnish you with a house,
identity, and a credit card.
You are my nephew.
But the thing is...
It's fine if you didn't notice.
Notice what?
Ji Eun-tak!
What exactly did you say on the phone?
Because of what you said,
our website is flooded with complaints.
I sent out kitchen knives as a gift,
but people keep calling to ask
for coupons for clothing.
The writers couldn't concentrate
on their work.
What are we, an apparel company?
What will you do about this?
Where do you think
we get your salary from?
The knife company and the apparel company
both want to cancel their advertisements.
It's a total mess!
Find whatever company you can
to sponsor and advertise on your show.
If you can't, you're fired.
Sir.
- What?
- I'll do my best.
It won't be easy, but I'll give it a try.
That nutcase.
Sang-hoon asked me out yesterday.
- Really?
- Yes, Sang-hoon from the next classroom.
Are you serious?
Young kids these days.
Why are you laughing?
Because it was cute.
I guess they are.
Not them.
By the way,
are you not going to pay me back
the 5,000 won?
If I don't, will we meet again?
Will you come see me for the money?
I will for the crime you're committing.
You do know what I mean, right?
I don't.
I'm saying I'll call the police
if this happens again.
I don't understand
why we keep running into each other.
What are you laughing at this time?
Because I'm very happy.
Because this is an unbelievable moment.
Because everything is perfect.
What on earth? Would avoiding you
be the wisest thing to do?
Which direction are you headed?
You're leaving again.
I'll tune into your show. I'm a big fan.
How did you know that I do radio shows?
You've become really suspicious now.
I thought you were an actor back then.
That's not true, is it?
I'm sorry,
but what do you do for a living?
Well...
There. I work there.
At that furniture company?
What do you do there?
I...
I'm the highest person at that company.
- Excuse me.
- You were looking at their papers.
Hand them over.
It's regarding a sponsorship, right?
Give them to me. I'll prove
that I'm the highest person there.
An executive usually signs this,
but the CEO has asked for a favor.
He's the CEO?
Does he work here at the headquarters?
He doesn't come to work.
CHEONWOO GROUP
KIM DO-YEONG
Then how should I show my gratitude?
Frankly speaking,
I don't even know his number.
Yet he said I should sign these documents?
Why is that?
Exactly. I wonder why.
Can you give me your contact information?
I'll give it to him.
Thank you.
By the way, is his name...
This is strange, isn't it?
It turns out that way
when you are involved with him.
His name is Yoo Shin-jae.
I see. Thank you.
- Ms. Ji.
- Ms. Ji.
- Ms. Ji.
- Way to go!
What happened?
How did you land the sponsorship?
I don't know.
I feel like I was put under a spell.
It feels like a miracle.
I can't explain it in any other way.
Who cares? What's important is
that our show will survive
through the company restructuring.
- You're the best.
- You're the best, Ms. Ji.
With that going for us,
let's do our best on our next project.
"We will find who you're looking for.
We will find you a person
you've forgotten over the years.
We will help you find lost memories
and forgotten faces.
If you send us your story,
we'll introduce it on the show
and connect you to the person
you're looking for."
This sounds good.
Search through your photos on your phones
and organize stories
until the next meeting.
Sincerity is what we're looking for.
I can tell if it's fake.
Yes, she really can. Do try your best.
Okay.
Whose call are you waiting for?
He's not calling.
This is a good project.
Maybe I should look for my first love.
You should look for that person. Kim Shin.
Should I?
By the way,
was that really your handwriting?
It was. That's why it's so strange.
It must've been a ghost.
You saw ghosts until
you were in high school.
I hadn't been able to
for nine or ten years.
I'm seeing them again nowadays.
There's one behind you now!
Goodness, Eun-tak!
Can you hand me the napkin?
I'm seriously going to kill you.
YOU MUST REMEMBER. HIS NAME IS KIM SHIN.
YOU ARE HIS BRIDE.
What on earth are you?
Why am I your bride?
"You are his bride."
Who are you?
Tenant Uncle.
This got mailed to a small building I own.
I don't understand.
It's where the chicken place used to be.
I couldn't just throw it out.
I have business to attend to.
I don't know when I can come here again.
You can wait for me, right?
You could give it to this person.
Is your name Ji Eun-tak, sir?
Why do you have so many names?
You deliver it to her.
What am I supposed to say to her
when we meet?
Then I'll go.
Then give it to Sunny
and ask her to deliver it.
For some reason, she's living
on a rooftop where Sunny lives.
They're neighbors now.
That won't change anything.
It'll make me even more suspicious.
I'll do it.
I'll look the least suspicious
since I own the building.
Since this is already strange,
I think it's best if you go
since you're a stranger to them.
I'll do it.
The owner there is really pretty.
I'll go. Hello?
After nine years,
you finally have an excuse.
Can't you guys hear me?
Who am I talking to right now?
Welcome.
Where's the owner?
She won't be here today.
Where's the owner?
She won't be here today either.
What's going on?
- Enjoy.
- Thank you.
- Where's the owner?
- She won't be here today.
What's your name if I may ask?
Do you want me to call her?
No.
Just give her this.
Okay.
What is this?
I know. What is that?
It came to the old store,
not even the current one.
Supposedly, the owner of the building
gave it to a good-looking guy,
and that guy brought it over.
So I checked my surveillance video.
He's seriously good-looking.
The old store?
Where was that?
That's what's strange.
It's international mail, too.
It's not like you ever came
to that old store.
It's so strange.
He's so good-looking,
and that's what makes it stranger.
What could this be?
JI EUN-TAK
This is my handwriting.
Hi, Mom.
To my pretty Mom,
who's probably always worrying about me.
How's the afterlife?
Is it like here?
I am writing you a letter from Canada.
You'd be so shocked
if you knew how I got here.
Just by opening one door,
I can enter a paradise like this.
As long as I'm with him.
I finally have someone
who asks how I'm doing.
You may worry and feel bad
about me seeing things
that I shouldn't,
but you don't have to anymore.
Because that is what made me
special to someone.
I'm doing well, Mom.
And I'll become even better.
I'll live a good life
and become happier than anyone.
Let's meet again someday.
I love you, Mom.
From Canada, your daughter, Eun-tak.
From Canada?
I don't even have a passport.
What is this?
This is scaring me.
REMEMBER. HIS NAME IS KIM SHIN.
Is the man in this letter...
Kim Shin?
What in the world happened nine years ago?
What did I forget?
Hello?
This is Yoo Shin-jae.
Hello. Just a minute.
Hello?
Hello?
Were you waiting for my call?
I've been a bit busy,
so I even forgot
that I gave you my number.
I see.
I didn't get to thank you before.
Thank you.
Then would you like
to take a walk with me?
Where did you say you lived?
Me?
I didn't tell you where I live.
So where do you live?
I live near the Art Platform
in Incheon.
Where near the Art Platform?
My living situation is quite complicated.
Where are you?
I feel like
I'll be near the Art Platform
in about half an hour.
Are you asking me out on a date?
Yes.
I've decided
to go on a date with you.
Call me when you're nearby.
About half an hour from now.
I like that scent too.
This is a scent that women like.
You must know a lot about women's perfume.
Do you not like the fact that I know
a lot about women's perfume?
Who am I to judge?
You are the only woman
who knows my number.
Really? Why?
That's strange.
There's nothing strange about it.
I just got my phone.
I didn't need a phone for a while.
I was somewhere where phones didn't work.
There was just a lot of snow.
Excuse me for a minute.
I keep forgetting.
I have to take it regularly.
What is that for?
It's medicine to heal the soul.
How long has it been?
May I ask why?
To be honest, I don't know
how it started.
You may run away.
I was being honest to give you
the opportunity.
I'm the one who's strange, right?
I'll just try to become stranger.
I'm going on vacation.
I'm telling you in advance
in case you drop in
at Art Platform randomly again.
Where are you going?
Abroad.
It's my first time going abroad
so I'm very nervous.
I'm so lame, aren't I?
You won't be nervous
even if it's your first.
It'll be natural
as if it weren't your first time.
You'll act as if you live there,
so don't worry.
But you don't know me very well.
Trust me.
Here we go.
One, two.
VACATION REQUEST
REQUEST SUBMITTED
I feel like there's something there,
so I want to go check.
What's there?
That's why I'm going there to find out.
Sure. If you don't know,
you should go and ask.
Go and ask before you get any older.
You know,
it's an international crime to wear
a hooded sweatshirt abroad, right?
Okay.
It's your first trip abroad.
Let's try to be more fashionable.
Okay.
By the way,
you made a lot of money through
your successful business.
Why haven't you moved?
Didn't you know?
I own this building. I bought it.
How could I not know?
You told me 100 times.
I asked why you don't move.
It's too much of a bother.
And I have a new house phobia.
There's no such thing.
There isn't?
These tangerines taste good.
- They're really sweet.
- Right.
Excuse me.
I have received this letter.
It is from this hotel.
Yes, this is from us.
You're Korean. I'm so relieved.
This hotel was built by a Korean.
Oh, I see.
We repaired the letterboxes
and drops on every floor
and found a few letters
that had gotten caught.
We'd never found one
from ten years ago though.
How do you know it's that old?
The design of the envelope
is from ten years ago.
It must've been a fond memory.
I apologize it took so long.
That's fine.
There must be a reason it took so long.
I was told that every step
the Almighty takes has a reason.
I wonder who told me that though.
This is lovely.
This is just so weird.
How can we bump into each other here?
I'm on a business trip.
I'm here to research
designs to put on
the corners of our furniture.
What are you saying?
How have you been?
Are you
following me?
Is that a crime?
- What should I do?
- I'm not a bad man.
How would I know that?
By spending time with me.
I have no reason to do that.
My company sponsored your radio show.
You offered to buy me a meal.
Is this your first time in Canada, sir?
Let's go this way.
To the one who thought that
oblivion would bring me peace of mind.
I wanted to meet you.
I pray that in our next life
the wait will be short
and the meeting shall be long.
Very long.
Goodbye.
Have we
met before?
About ten years ago?
Over here.
Are you a ghost?
Even the deepest sorrow
can't last 1,000 years.
I vote to disagree.
On which one?
Sorrow or love?
Sorrowful love.
