Guardian: The Lonely and Great God (2016–2017): Season 1, Episode 2 - Episode #1.2 - full transcript

Wait!

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

Did you just follow me through that door?

By the way, where are we?

What in the world happened? Where are we?

We're in 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.

You're acting like
you've never heard that before.

Stop it.

Look at you.

You're not even turning me down.

Okay, then. Let's head over there.

-Think of it as our honeymoon.
-Hey.

Hey.

Do I look like I belong here
and not like an illegal immigrant?

You can't tell
it's my first time here, right?

Wow!

This is awesome.

Can you take a picture for me?

I want to remember myself in this moment.

Look here.

-If you press this, it'll click--
-I know.

I'm impressed.

Take it after I count to three.

No.

Come on. Where are you going?

Wait for me.

Wow.

It truly is the maple country.

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

You're honored to walk with me, right?

I'm relieved. I thought you'd say,
"Honor? In your dreams."

What does that sign mean?

That fairies appear in this area.

Here?

Gosh. Real fairies?

That's amazing. It's so romantic.

I envy you, mister.

Why?

Because fairies appear here.

And you just met one.

Tinker Bell.

I'm sad that I blew my cover.

How did you know I'd be here?

Those signs are there for us
to make these romantic memories.

Right, what's this town called?

Quebec.

What a lovely name.

Did you know?

If you catch a falling maple leaf...

Did you catch one? Throw it away.

Why should I?

If you catch a falling maple leaf,

you'll fall in love
with the person you're walking with.

You just made that up, didn't you?

I did not.

It's like how they say you'll marry
your first love if you catch

a falling cherry blossom.

You said you love me.

Are you a Goblin?

No.

Then throw that away.

Why did you try to catch it then?

Because I was pretending to walk along
with that cute guy.

"A cute guy"?

I'm off to look at the cute guy
from up close.

He's a Canadian ghost!

I was so scared.

I made eye contact with a ghost
and now I feel sick.

Why are you scared?
You said you see ghosts often.

He talked to me in English.

It's scarier when a ghost talks
in English.

What's wrong with you?

Isn't this a hotel?

I know we're abroad, but did you forget
I'm in high school?

You seemed fishy from the start.

You said you'd marry me.

Are you the Goblin?

No. Wait here.

Where are you going?

-To do something.
-Like what?

Can I tag along?

It's my first time abroad and I'm scared.

You were running around carelessly.

That was because...

That was because I knew
you were close by, so I felt safe.

Will you take long? Whom are you meeting?

Is it a woman?

I knew it. Of course, you'd only come
all the way to Canada for a reason.

You said I'm not the Goblin's bride
for a reason.

I get it. Have a nice time.

I don't have any money or a passport.

I don't know anyone here
and it's hard for me to even breathe,

but I guess I'll have to wait alone.

Do you know what I mean?

I don't.

What I mean is,
could you lend me ten dollars?

Deliberately or not,

you might desert me
and then I'll have to call the embassy--

If I do, summon me.

That's faster than going to the embassy.

Do you really have to be so persuasive
just to save 10 dollars?

Don't give me any money.
Forget it. I don't need it.

Don't lend me anything. You better not!

Did he actually leave?

-The change and receipt.
-Thanks.

Thanks for the coffee.

Here's the form for the missing souls.

-You must fill it in by hand.
-Okay.

Why do missing souls exist?

I've only heard about their existence.

I never had to deal with one.

It is like a god's caprice.

Humans call it a miracle,

while we call it a missing soul.

Is the case you're handling
a miracle, too?

It's even stranger.

She isn't on the List of Death
or the List of Names.

I don't know which rules to apply.

That sounds like a real headache.

When will you fill out all the paperwork?

I have no idea.

By the way, I heard you moved.

When's the housewarming?

It's just a lease.

I want to move too,
but I just can't save up.

My landlady keeps saying she sees
the Grim Reaper in her dreams.

It's killing me.

Didn't I tell you to check the site first?

I really wanted to live in a rooftop room.

Isn't it weird?

Why do Grim Reapers need a place to stay

and feel sleepy or hungry
if we don't sleep or eat?

I worked late these past few days
and I'm dead tired.

I keep some chocolate on me all the time.

By the way, there's a really
pretty girl in Class 23.

Have you met...

You can't just hit me and leave.

What?

I knew it. You're drunk!

-Have fun.
-You're done for.

You're crazy. I'm not drunk.

You look perfectly fine.
Why are you throwing a fit?

Let's go to the police.
Let's make a report!

Let go of me right now.

-What?
-Let go! Now!

-Kill me if you can.
-Let me go.

Park Yong-won, Kim Hye-ryeong.

October 4th, 2016, 2:22 a.m.

Death by a car accident.

That's you, right?

Drink it.

It'll remove your memories from this life.

Must I...

really forget everything?

Even my hatred for him?

Hey, it's all part of our wretched fate.

We're both dead. What good
will glaring at me do now?

It would be best for you.

Oblivion is also a blessing from above.

Why did you give her a drink and not me?

You have to remember
all the bad deeds you did.

It's not the first time
you ran someone over.

Please help me...

At first,

you'll regret this moment
when you couldn't drink this tea.

Then,

you'll wonder why you weren't given any.

Then you'll realize

that you can't turn back time

and that you're already...

in the pits of hell.

Your body will feel
like it's being torn to pieces.

For each second of pain,
you'll regret what you did,

but the pain will not stop.

Forever.

I'm sorry.

Forgive me.

I doubt I can do that.
My boss is quite temperamental.

I know someone who lives in torment

with every memory of his past life.

I'm sure he begged numerous times

for forgiveness.

It didn't help though.

He still...

lives a life of eternal suffering.

I've buried the grandsons of...

YOO GEUM-SEON
BORN IN GORYEO, RESTS HERE

...the young grandson of my grandson...

YOO MOON-SOO
MY FRIEND AND TEACHER

...that I left Goryeo with.

I once considered
my endless life a reward.

But in the end,

it was a punishment.

I couldn't forget...

anyone's death.

How have you been?

YOO GEUM-SEON

Are you all well?

As you see, I am still alive...

and I have not been well.

I found him.

I told you to behave.

I did behave.

You didn't even know I was here.

Is this why you came here?

I'm done. I was about to leave.

You're the only one
without a name on the headstone.

Do you always leave your life like this?

How many times?

I didn't keep count.

Hello. I'm Ji Eun-tak.

I'll become your bride in about 200 years.

No.

I guess not.

But even about 200 years later,
you are still handsome.

You are a bit mean at times,
but don't worry. You're doing well.

I'll go now.

Let's go.

Did you live here for a long time?

I have left and come back enough times

to have watched the huts
turn into those hotels over there.

This was the first place I settled down in
after I left my hometown.

What a waste.
You should've bought that hut back then.

Then that hotel would've been yours.

Don't tell me that hotel is...

What is that look in your eyes?

Do you want this?

Where did you get that? You have no money.

That's why I stole it.

Eat it quickly
and get rid of the evidence.

What?

I got you!

I was staring at it.

I guess she felt bad and gave it to me.

-But is that hotel really yours?
-Aren't you late?

-For what?
-School.

What time is it in Korea?

It's 10 a.m.

My teacher's going to kill me.

Should I just live here?

It's better to be an illegal immigrant
than being tardy, right?

I think that would be better.

GWANGHWAMUN

I slept well.

I feel like I woke up from a dream.

I never imagined I'd get to go
to another country.

I was able to go thanks to you.

Thank you for today.

I'll get going now.

I'm awake, so I should get to school.

Even if I was a nuisance today,
please let it go this one time.

It was probably
because I was very, very excited.

Ji Eun-tak. Do you know what time it is?

What time is it?

-I'm sorry.
-You're a senior in high school.

How could a senior
come in during the third period?

Do you attend school for lunch?
Or do you want to drop out?

You've already applied to college,
so you think that's it, don't you?

You think you're already in college.

I hear you can't even afford the tuition.

-I'm sorry.
-Why were you late?

I know it is tough living with your aunt
without any parents,

but it's not just you.

Everyone has it tough.

Don't set a bad example for others
just because you can't go to college.

I'm...

going to go to college.

Look at you.

Go. Did I say not to?

You always react like this
even when I'm being nice.

Wait a minute.

Hello, ma'am.

Yes.

No, not at all.

On this gloomy, rainy night,

who is like an umbrella to you?

The voice that responds when you call.

The memories of seeing the same thing
at the same time.

The first time you matched
each other's pace.

Did someone come to your mind?

Yes, that person is the one.

Here is the first song.

Are you busy?

-Yes, I'm busy.
-Then come with me.

Stay close, but not too close.

It had better be important enough
to stay close, or you're dead.

That's what I'm trying to check.

Whether I will be able to die.

What is he talking about?

Why did you come out from there?

It's strange, right?

She did something
even the Grim Reaper finds strange.

What? Who? Who did what?

Do it again.

-Get closer.
-What the...

-What are you doing?
-What? Why?

I'm just competitive. Where are you going?

And I'm just annoyed. Get lost.

Get away from me.

Get lost!

Don't leave me here like this!

What is it? What is it that I can't do?

-Mr. Tenant?
-My goodness.

Why are you out here? It's cold.

Where's Uncle?

-He's inside.
-No.

Actually, I'm here to see you.

Talk right there.

I see you don't like being touched.

It's not very important.

I just want to know if
you're finding things okay here.

Did the house get
very humid all of a sudden?

Or did things get bright outside...

by any chance?

I simply want your uncle to just leave

all of a sudden.

Right? I also want him to go abroad
as soon as possible.

I don't know why a big fish...

like him is staying in Korea.

Don't you feel it too?

-No.
-Okay, you don't.

Anyway, I'll be seeing you often.

What shall I call you?

I don't think it's friendly
to call you, "Mr. Tenant."

Is Uncle...

too friendly for you?

I'll be straightforward with you,
Tenant Uncle.

Please help me.

If an old man comes and asks who you are,

can you tell him
that you're just here to visit?

He'll kill me if he finds out
that I rented out a room.

Who's that old man?

He's my grandfather.

I'll stand on your side
until the very end, Tenant Uncle.

I really will.

I promise.

If I open this door,

I'll be in Canada.

It'll be Canada.

Do you need to use the sink?

No, go ahead.

Last year of high school?

How did you know?

Young kids in uniforms
with bloodshot eyes usually tend to be so.

Oh, my eyes.

Where do you live?

I live near here.

Good.

Take this and eat it.

It's spinach.

It's nothing. I got it from a guy.

You received spinach from a guy?

Go home and eat it with your family, okay?

I'm home.

It's late. Where have you been all day?

I came straight from school.

Don't talk back to me like that.

Mom, I'm hungry.

I'm hungry too, you jerk.

Other people's children
have a life outside of their home.

Hurry up and cook dinner!
Everyone's waiting for you, you brat.

Okay.

Don't give me attitude. You hear me?

Go home and eat it with your family, okay?

Mom, look at this!

She's trying to run away.

I looked it up online. This is Canada.

What? Give me that.

I knew she was going to do this.

You're planning to go abroad
with the insurance money.

You said you didn't have the bankbook!

Please give it back. It's just a souvenir.

Why is this a souvenir? How?

When have you ever been
to a place like this?

You're going to have it today.

Is this how you repay my kindness?

Is it? Is this how?

Give it to me. It's mine.

-How dare you?
-She's excited to run away.

-Look how she made kimbap.
-The bankbook.

-It looks delicious.
-Where is the bankbook?

Blood!

What looks delicious? Your hand?

Idiot.

Blood!

What has gotten into them?

Blood! Mom, here.

I'm bleeding.

It's blood.

Where are you going? Stop!

She can summon me
and follow me through the door,

but she can't see the sword.

Who on earth are you?

I'll become your bride in about 200 years.

I love you.

If she really meant what she said,
this is a bit of a pickle.

One's curiosity always wins against
one's dignity.

I'm very curious, so I'll have to go ask.

We just parted. Why did you summon
me again this late at night?

I was very busy and in the middle
of something. Did you know that?

I didn't summon you.

-You did.
-I did not.

I really didn't this time.

Did you just think about me or not?

Well...

I...

I knew it! You thought about me, right?

Because you constantly think about me,

I keep getting summoned
even when I'm busy.

Gosh, it's tiring.

Do you get summoned
even when I'm just thinking about you?

I'm not sure,

but I'm quite sensitive,
so let's be careful.

I see.

I'm sorry.

So how were you thinking of me,
specifically?

Well...

"Canada was very pretty.

I'd be happy if I lived there.

I was happy for a short moment
when I was there."

That is what I was thinking about

and naturally, I came to think about you.

"He wears expensive clothes.

He wears an even more expensive watch.

The hotel looked like it was his.
He has all those nice things...

But why does he look sad?"

My thoughts just flowed like that.

Anyway,

why are you wandering around
this late at night?

How did you know that?

I wish I didn't know.

I'm waiting for my aunt's family
to fall asleep.

Once they fall asleep, they wouldn't know
if the sky fell on them.

I'll go home after they fall asleep
and leave before they wake up.

They fall asleep around midnight.

So you're going to wander around like this
until midnight?

I'm only walking with you
because of indigestion.

I know.

You already told me.

You must have had a big dinner.

I don't want you to misunderstand.

You already said that three times.

You don't have to come with me.

You said that three times, too.

No way. I just saw Ji Eun-tak
with her sugar daddy.

That guy is at least 30.

She's crazy.

Take a picture and show us.

Gosh, who was that?

Why would you open the door?

Mommy...

HIRING PART-TIMERS

Excuse me.

Welcome.

Take-out?

I'm not a customer.

I saw the sign
that you're hiring part-timers.

Is the owner here?

You're speaking to her.

Are you in high school?

Yes.

I see, so you're the owner.

I thought you were a customer
because you're so pretty.

Yes. Customers are pretty,

but it's been so long since I've seen one.

Well...

You can ask me anything you want to.

By the way,

I'm happy to meet
all the conditions you want.

I don't have anywhere else to go.

When I was nine years old,

I lost my parents
and I had to support myself.

I don't have any relatives...

Radish...

Our radish is really good.

I can't remember the last time
a customer asked for radish.

Do you want some?

Thank you.

Are you poor?

Well,

I guess so.

What about school? Did you drop out?

I go to school. I'm in my senior year.

You're so lucky to be young.

-Pardon?
-Do you have plans later?

-No.
-Then today is your first day.

At work.

Really? Thank you!

I'll do my best. I seriously will!

All right, go ahead.

Yes, I'll work hard
even before you tell me.

What he meant by chicken
must be this chicken.

Yes, chicken is chicken.

But I can't remember the last time
someone asked for chicken.

PART-TIMER, JI EUN-TAK

Mister, what are you doing?
Can you hear me?

What the heck.

He doesn't appear when I think about him.

I finally got a job and the owner
is so pretty...

Look at you.

You're eating an expensive steak.

But you can't even give me
five million won?

What do you think
about using your phone to meet up?

Like civilized people.

I'm okay with the way it is.

I'm not.

Don't you ever think about me?

You didn't come when I thought about you.

I don't mind seeing you
after promising our future together.

I love you.

It smells like steak.

I'm so hungry.

My goodness.

This outfit is better, right?

-What outfit?
-Compared to the previous one. Tell me.

Did you...

even change?

Does this book go with my outfit?

It looks like she'll keep summoning me.

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

-To whom?
-Focus, will you?

Think of it as the outfit
I'll wear when I leave this place.

You look great. You're dashing.

-It's awesome.
-That means it looks bad.

Which is better? The LP or the CD?

I want to look like I listen to everything
from classic to pop.

Kids these days

listen to music through files.

Hey, which painting is better?

Get out.

I need to look like I collect artwork
from post-modernism to impressionism.

Do you sleep like this?

What is it? This is the most
comfortable way for me to sleep.

Don't do that.

Your room looks like a morgue.
Should I bring you flowers?

Just let me sleep.

I'm going to kill you.

What are you doing?

The laundry is dry.

Have fun.

A Goblin's underwear is strong

It's durable and strong

Stop that.

Was this song about you? I didn't realize.

No wonder I got so into it.

A Goblin's underwear is dirty

It smells and it's dirty

I warned you.

What did you do to your underwear?

No.

Then why did they

come up with a song?

I said, no.

What do you have to do for people
to make a song about your underwear?

Were you...

too manly?

I said, stop it!

An unexpected thunderstorm was seen
at Seongbuk-dong,

causing inconvenience to many citizens.

Are you all right, Uncle?

An unexpected thunderstorm only came...

to Seongbuk-dong.

Hey, why are you all crumpled up?

-Deok-hwa.
-Yes, go ahead.

Is something wrong?

Before I tell you what happened,

there is something I must tell you.

It's about the secret of your family...

and my tragic fate.

Don't be too surprised.

-I'm actually...
-A Goblin?

Or is this about something else?

Since when have you known?

I knew when I was eight.

I had my suspicions when I was six.

Whenever you got drunk,
you would make gold and show off to me.

-Don't you remember?
-Wow!

Can I have these?

No.

You're annoying.

That's when I knew
you couldn't be my real uncle.

Even now.

You're always like this.
How can I not notice?

You have to be careful.

You might make the mistake
outside home, too.

Are you saying

you've known that I was a Goblin
since you were six?

-Yes.
-And yet,

you've been talking rudely to me
since you were six?

Yes.

No.

Today's thunderstorm poured in one region.

You must have been surprised.

The National Weather Service has issued

a heavy rain warning
for parts of Seoul and Gyeonggi-do.

As the roads get slippery,
the traffic will get heavier.

Let's hear from Reporter Lee.

Even heavier rain poured in
the entire area of Seongbuk-dong

and the citizens are stranded.

In order to minimize
the traffic congestion,

the police encouraged the citizens
to use public transportation.

It's raining.

How nice.

What's so nice about it?

We don't have customers on a rainy day.

Even if it doesn't rain,
we don't have customers.

Nobody is coming anyway.
It's nicer to have some rain.

I don't have an umbrella though.

I have many. Just take one of mine.

I was always too lazy to take them home.

I don't want to take it home,
so don't bring it back.

Really?

I have my own umbrella now.

Is this your first time
seeing an umbrella?

Thank you.

I hope I get an umbrella in my life too.

Gosh. It's soggy.

Do you want a bowl of fresh ones?

It's fine. I know what it tastes like.
I'm too lazy to eat.

Are you going somewhere?

That is a question a boss should ask.

What you need to do when I'm not here,
is slack off and rest.

How can an employee slack off
because the owner's not around?

I'll work harder
when I'm not being watched.

If you work harder
when you're not being watched,

the owner wouldn't know about it.

Slack off.

She's so cool.

Bye.

We are triplets. I'm the youngest.

Let's see. What do you want to know?

Aren't you supposed to guess that?

Things are not going well, are they?

I wouldn't be here if everything was
going well. I'd be counting money.

Goodness. You have no luck
with a husband or children.

All I see is your lust
for traveling and attention.

I know. I'm fated to have all sorts
of lust. And I'm even old.

I should do something about it, right?

You're born with such a lonely fate.

You're all by yourself
without a single relative.

How do you know that?

Your life is like a sailboat in a vast,
open sea.

I hope I'm on that boat
alone with a handsome man.

I see a man in your life.

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

I hope that man wearing
the hat is good-looking.

Where are you going?

To the dry cleaner's.

This is a "dry-clean only" hat.

I've always thought that wearing
that hat was a great idea.

It makes you look funny
when taking away the dead.

"Don't look for death.
Death will find you."

That's the idea behind this hat.

The dead recognize me
only when I wear this.

It hides me from humans.

I'm glad that you become
invisible to human eyes.

It's embarrassing to watch.

Take care.

THE LIFE OF A GENERAL

Don't you need to iron it?

What century do you live in?
These days, it sticks well just like this.

Look who's talking.
Who laminates leaves these days?

The person who will receive this
is old-fashioned, so it's all right.

Who is it? Do you have a boyfriend?

Hey.

I don't have a boyfriend.

He got me the job. I'm just thankful.

What if he gets the wrong idea
and thinks you like him?

He denies my existence itself,
so he won't.

Mister, I got you a gift--

My scarf. I left my scarf.

Just as I thought.

You can see me.

You say the same thing
as ten years ago as well.

I hope my boss didn't lock the door.

I'm such an idiot.

That won't fool me. I know you can see me.

And nobody's here to protect you now.

I know I've been caught too.

You moved.

So I've been looking for you
for ten years. Finally, I found you.

You shouldn't have looked for me then.

This is what we call "stalking"
in this world. Do you know that?

I'm going to report you.

You don't have my name on the list anyway.

You're on the list of the missing souls.

It's going to be a hassle
gathering 19 years' worth of documents.

Then...

what will happen to me now?

Am I going to die?

I'm only 19 years old.

People die even when they are nine or ten.

That's what death is.

But whom on earth are you with this time?

Close your eyes.
Don't look at him in the eyes.

He's the Grim Reaper.

No. You can't make eye contact with him.

It's okay. We've met.

You must be working.

I am, but I don't know what you're doing.

I'm meddling
with a human's life and death.

I know.
I think you're making a big mistake.

This girl was due 19 years ago.

Do I look like I want
to hear an explanation?

Have you not been taught to pay attention
when a Goblin talks seriously?

Be careful. I might want to meddle
with your life and death as well.

Let's run away first. I know a way.

This way.

It's okay, just stay here.
He won't be able to take you.

He's been looking for me for ten years.

Still.

It doesn't matter if he's been
looking for you for 100 years.

No Grim Reaper can take a girl
who wants to marry a Goblin.

Especially not on his watch.

So...

Is she the...

Yes, I am. It's me.

I am that famous Goblin's bride.

What are you going to do now?
Will you still take me?

It looks like I'm the bad guy here.

I have to take care of that first anyway.
We'll talk again later.

I'll see you around.
We could run into each other like this,

or we could make an appointment.

Say it.

You look like you have a lot to say.

See?

You are the Goblin.

I knew it.

Why did you lie
and say that you're not the Goblin?

At first, I didn't know
that I'd be seeing you again.

I didn't know you'd enter.

Nobody has ever followed me into the door.

What about after that?

I asked you many times after that.

I didn't feel the need to correct myself.

You never were and never will be

the Goblin's bride.

Then...

What am I?

Ghosts approach me every day,
rambling on about some Goblin.

If I ignore them, they harass me.

If I talk to them, they cling to me.

I'm alive and well.

But the Grim Reaper says I shouldn't be.

What exactly am I?

I told you.
That's the burden you were born with.

You shouldn't come to me
about your problems.

Jerk.

You're such a jerk.

Do you think I was actually
intending on marrying the Goblin?

Be honest with me.
There's another reason, isn't there?

Is it because...

I'm not pretty, and you're simply
not attracted?

Because I'm not your type?

It's true, isn't it?

-It's not.
-You always say that.

That's what you said when you
lied about not being the Goblin.

You are pretty.

I've lived for more than 900 years.

I'm not looking for someone pretty.

I'm looking for someone
who can see something on me.

Because you don't see it,
you're not my bride.

That's the sole reason.

That is why you are of no value to me.

You're so blunt that it hurts my feelings.

There's no need to get hurt.

You should rather consider yourself lucky.

If you did see something on me,

you would've greatly resented me.

Then you should've denied
being the Goblin all the way.

Why are you telling me this now?

The same reason why I told you I'm not.

Don't summon me anymore with false hope.

I'm leaving this place soon.

Where to?

Never mind. Don't answer that.

I'm not even the slightest bit curious.

Who says I'll be your bride?

I'm 19 years old and at the peak
of my life. I'm not crazy.

I won't summon you ever again.

You go live your life.

I don't need you either.

All I wanted to know was what
the Goblin looked like, and now I do.

Are you finally going to die?

Rumor has it you die
when you find your bride.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to.
She can't see the sword.

You should give her some time.

Maybe she'll be able to see it
when you strip naked.

She's still a child, though.

Which is why you shouldn't go near her.

Why are you protecting her?
You said she can't see the sword.

Can't you just congratulate me?

-I'm going to live a bit longer now.
-Live longer somewhere else.

I can't live with a Goblin
who meddles with my line of work.

As easy solution is for you to move out.

The exit is that way.

A GENTLE BEING

Aren't you too old to be reading that?

I'm doing a background check
on my boyfriend.

It's like going on their Facebook.

You need to do all this
when you grow up, alright?

Is your boyfriend in fairy tales?

Is he the prince?

I wish. I'd prefer a Prince Charming

if he's going to be a character
from a fairy tale.

But a Goblin?

This book is more fun to read.
Try this one.

Thanks.

What about after that?
I asked you many times after that.

I didn't feel the need to correct myself.

You never were and never will be

the Goblin's bride.

Goodness. You were nothing
but a broom too.

I won't be a Goblin's bride either.
I'm going to throw this away.

Deok-hwa.

Hey, Uncle.

You said you were a smoker once too.

That was a long time ago.

That was 350 years ago.

Gosh.

I'm sorry.

What's wrong with him?

He's been doing that for three hours now.

This humidity drives me...

You're not making this situation
any better.

Are these clouds?

I rushed over to ask that.

Uncle.

Don't make it rain.
Who's going to clean up the mess?

It's definitely a girl problem.

That's the face of a man who talked with
a woman for the first time in 300 years

and ended up hurting her.

What? How? I didn't do anything.

Looks like the lovers' quarrel
didn't end very well.

Are you going through a breakup?
Is that it?

Oh, my goodness. You have a girlfriend?

-Is she pretty?
-She's 19.

Oh, my goodness. Is she pretty?

I wasn't thinking about her.
I was thinking about the stock market.

Watch your mouth in front of the child,
Grim Reaper.

Don't underestimate the Grim Reaper's
power to foresee the future.

You were thinking about a girl
in front of the child, Goblin.

What?

What?

It doesn't matter if you didn't realize.

But shouldn't you apologize like a man
if you hurt her feelings?

What are you doing here?

Deok-hwa, you don't get it
because you're too young.

-Quiet down.
-I was being quiet.

You're pathetic.

Please do understand my uncle.

I'm not proud of him either.
I'll apologize instead.

Man up and tell her you're sorry.

Man up with a ring, a purse,
and even a credit card.

-Where are you going?
-To the supermarket. You?

To the dry cleaner's.

This requires dry-cleaning often.

-I'll get going.
-Have a good one.

I thought you were going
to the supermarket.

This doesn't look like one.

And I thought you were going
to the dry cleaner's.

And you decided to follow me?
She isn't here.

She's not? Did you kill her?

That's very rude of you to say,
careless Goblin.

Wearing your shoes
in someone else's house is ruder,

you rude Grim Reaper.

-Where's the girl?
-You didn't kill her?

Did you instruct her to move away?

I came to tell her to move,
but she's gone already.

Do you think I can't find her
just because she moved?

Of course.
You couldn't find her for ten years.

I don't think you can find her
even if she stayed.

So?

Where did she go?
You must know. Where is she?

It's okay.

I only went there to sleep.

It wasn't my real home.

Excuse me.

She isn't here.

She isn't here.

Hey.

You see me.

Yes, I do.

I see you very well. Let's talk.

-Where did she go?
-Hey.

You're...

You're scaring me.

What's going on?

You called me the Goblin's bride.

Why did you say that?

Oh, that?

I heard it from the old lady
with the dialect.

I can tell right away...

that he saved your mom
because of her looks.

Your mom was quite pretty.

Turn this way.

She was on the ground
and gasping for breath.

Then suddenly, she came back to life.

It was in the middle of winter

but there were cherry blossoms everywhere.

It was so strange.

So, did the Goblin save my mom and me?

Yes. I don't know for sure,

but I think you were both
meant to die that night.

The Grim Reaper showed up
not too long after that.

He came for nothing.

He basically saved his bride's life.

That's so romantic.

Shut it.

Everything he said was true.

I had no right to hate him.

I wouldn't have been born
if it weren't for him

then I wouldn't have had nine years'
worth of memories of my Mom.

Did you get upset?

With the Goblin?

Were you harsh on him?

What should I do now?

Do you want...

to come with me?

What else can you do but marry him?

Please.

Goodness.

PART-TIMER, JI EUN-TAK

Excuse me.

The part-timer here called Eun-tak...

My goodness.

Welcome. Sit wherever you want.

I'm not a customer.
Call the owner for me, young lady.

-Now, it's urgent.
-Speak up, then.

This young lady's the owner.

Are you the owner?

I'm Eun-tak's aunt.

You.

Who gave you the permission to hire
my precious niece

to work at a place like this?

She didn't look precious.

-What?
-Do you know what "lonesome" means?

She's like that.

What do you mean? She's what?

What are you talking about?

It's okay. I had to look it up
on the internet too.

Why do you keep talking to me
as if I'm younger than you?

I know. I hate it when people talk to me
without even ordering.

You should have some chicken.

What the hell...

By the way,

your precious niece should be at school.

Why are you here?

I called her school many times already.

I'm here as a last resort.
Can you cooperate?

She left home and I'm worried, that's all.

Hey! Will you take responsibility
if she gets into trouble?

Don't worry about me.
Pretend I'm not even here.

Hi sweetie. How have you been doing?

I'm doing okay.

This woman here seems to think

I'm sweet since I am pretty.

She's giving me a hard time,
but it's all right.

-What a brat.
-Do you still beat people up?

You're okay with hitting women, right?

Gender equality?

You shouldn't be like that.

What? You'll come over?

The address is...

I'm leaving. I'm on my way out.

Bye. I'm off, okay?

I'm leaving.

What are you talking about?

Your dialect's horrible.

I know.

I had to do something.

Are you well? Bye.

Gosh, what a total nutcase.

If I catch her this time,
I'll kill her myself.

My goodness. You didn't have to come here.

I was just about to call you.

See? I knew it.

The people who borrow money
are less stressed than

the people who lend money.

Do you think I'm here
because I have nothing better to do?

I'll pay you back
when I find the bankbook.

The brat ran away from home
and I'm in a bind.

Guess what?

I'm in a bind because
you never take or return my calls.

We brought our car.

How about we drive out
to a quiet hill in the countryside?

If something happens to me,
you'll never get your money back.

I'm the girl's legal guardian!

This is unbelievable.

You really have a smart mouth, don't you?

You've been talking about
that insurance payment for months.

Are you sure it even exists?

There really is.

My sister paid for
both their life insurances

for eight whole years, as if she knew

she was going to die.

The total was 150 million won.

But the bankbook keeps disappearing.

It keeps disappearing even when I get
a new one. It's driving me mad.

It's true.

That brat has it.

I swear.

Which school did you say she goes to?

Lend me 30,000 won. It's urgent.

I'll pay you next week. Text me back.

Miss.

Where are you going?

Who are you?

You shouldn't run away from home.
It's dangerous.

What are you doing?

Wait. Don't do this.

Your aunt's worried about you! Get in!

I have a question.

Where did you get the money
to rent this place for 20 years?

People put money on tables
during the funeral

to pay for the dead's trip
to the afterlife.

I saved all that up for 300 years.

Do you see why I can't give up this house?

I haven't heard the term
"save up" in a long time.

I have a lot of gold and cash.

Want some pepper?

Do you ever learn?

That plate was
from the reign of Louis XIV.

Damn it.

Stay still.

Put the fork back.

Put your knife down first.

I really don't know.
I really don't have the bankbook.

My aunt has it.

Your aunt says you have it,
and you say she has it.

That means one of you is lying.

Right?

Do you want to die?

What is it? Do you want to fight for real?

Look, we are very impatient.

Do you even know where this car is headed?

Didn't you see what happens to girls

when they're taken to
a remote place like this in the news?

The bankbook.
Where did you hide the bankbook?

I really don't know.

My aunt is the one who owes you money.
Why are you doing this to me?

Let me out. I'm going to report you
to the police if you don't!

Report us?

I'm the one who wants to report you,
you brat.

You punk. Drive properly!

Hey.

-What?
-Look.

Thank you for saving my life, mister.

Please tell Mr. Grim Reaper too.

So, what exactly am I supposed to see?

I don't know where she is.

She won't summon me.

She won't summon me, so I can't find her.

I must have briefly thought about you.

-Promise me something.
-What?

FORM FOR MISSING SOULS

That if I leave, you won't touch her.

It was a farewell.

I'm leaving tomorrow.
