Guardian: The Lonely and Great God (2016–2017): Season 1, Episode 5 - Episode Five - full transcript
Mister!
"Mass is not proportional to volume.
A girl as small as a violet...
A girl who flutters like a flower petal...
pulls me with more force
than that of the Earth.
Just then,
like Newton's apple,
I rolled and fell on her helplessly...
with a thump.
With a thump, thump."
That was an awesome red carpet.
Was that you?
It was amazing.
Mister.
"My heart continued
to swing dizzily like a pendulum."
Are you angry?
"It was my first love."
I'll...
walk from here.
You can drop me off around there.
I know the area surrounding the hotel.
- I can walk-
- Okay then.
Goodbye.
Only the bride of the Goblin
will be able to draw the sword.
Once it's drawn,
everything will turn to ashes,
and be at peace.
Life is a mixture of all sorts of genres.
What genre was your day today?
A romantic comedy?
A strange but beautiful fantasy?
A sad melodrama?
Can you not do this?
Talk to me like a normally.
You scare me.
Sorry if I scared you.
I need to ask for a favor.
I'm really sorry,
but can you go to where I was staying
and fill up the fridge?
The fridge?
Yes. I haven't been dead for long,
and my mom hasn't seen my room yet
with the funeral and all.
She'll be heartbroken
if she sees my empty fridge.
Please help me out.
But...
I don't have any money.
I'm afraid I didn't think that far.
I'm sorry.
I have an idea.
Thank you.
The tea is getting cold.
You did well in this life.
Take care as you move on to the next one.
What's this?
A coincidence?
Not for me.
Why didn't you call? I waited.
You said you'd call.
I'll go and call you right now.
Where are you going?
To look for a payphone?
I'm going home.
That's where my phone is. I'll call you.
What a joke.
But we've met like this.
It was good to see you.
This is insane.
How about coffee instead of a phone call?
There are cafes everywhere, and I'm free.
Excuse me.
Are we just going to drink coffee?
It's already dark.
Isn't the day so short?
It was not.
You've been sitting like that for an hour.
Shouldn't we exchange formalities
like normal people?
Shouldn't we talk?
Hello. How have you been?
Just fine. Have you been well?
How is my ring?
Do you still not have a mobile phone?
Yes, I have been well.
Your ring is fine.
I don't have a mobile phone.
Be honest with me.
You forgot my name, didn't you?
It's Seon-hui.
It's Sunny, not Seon-hui.
Seriously, you are a funny guy.
Are you acting like that on purpose?
Why are you staring at me?
I can't help it...
when you smile.
Now that I think of it,
I don't even know your name.
What's your name?
She asked my name.
But I don't remember my name.
She even asked how my life was going.
How could I answer that
when I'm not even alive?
Her smile...
reflected the light of the sun
when it shone the brightest.
It reminded me of the moment
my life was taken away.
I made up my mind.
I must disappear...
before I feel
a stronger longing for my life.
Before I become happier than now.
It's the decision...
I must make for you.
I have to end my life.
By the way,
I hear everything you're thinking.
Are you really going to die?
Yes.
Before the first snowfall.
Have you been drinking?
- No way.
- Yes, you have.
The fridge was totally empty.
You ate all the chocolate,
peanuts, and even beef jerky.
It's okay. I understand.
But why did you throw out all the bottles?
Did you think I wouldn't notice
if you threw them out?
I had my reasons.
Mr. Yoo said I should ask you
for whatever I needed.
I'm sorry, but can you pay for me?
I don't have any money on me.
I don't have any money either. I don't...
I don't have any money.
I was about to pay... Oh, gosh.
I'm coming in.
What are you doing here?
Did Deok-hwa tell you everything?
About what?
The thing is...
To tell you the truth,
Deok-hwa scolded me.
He is not really in a position
to scold others.
I emptied the fridge.
Can you pay this for me?
I'll pay you back once I get paid
for working part-time.
Is it too much to ask for?
Honestly, you're the one who drank.
I put the rest to good use.
If you keep ignoring me,
I'll blow all these candles out.
I can make you come in
and out of here all day.
Don't summon me anymore.
There's no need for that.
I'll stay by your side from now on.
Let's go home.
Whose home?
My home.
Because you're the Goblin's bride.
Mister.
Do you love me?
I will if you need me to.
I love you.
Do you really hate me that much?
How much do you have to hate me...
to feel this sad?
It's pouring out there.
Never mind.
Even if you hate me and I make you sad,
I'll go live with you.
I'm not in any position
to be picky at the moment.
I just need to pull out the sword, right?
Yes.
That's all you need to do.
Wait here. I'll go pack my things.
What's your name?
I wasn't asking
because I was really curious.
I know our relationship is
somewhere in between marriage
and being housemates.
I'm aware of its ambiguity,
but I'm supposed to be the Goblin's wife.
I think I should know
what my husband's name is at least.
Are we...
Right, I guess I can't call us "we" yet.
We started long before...
you were even born.
Sometimes, I'm Yoo Jeong-shin,
and sometimes, I'm Yoo Ji-shin.
Currently, I'm Yoo Shin-jae.
My real name...
is Kim Shin.
Go.
It's a green light.
Today is recycling day.
I see a new side to you every day.
Give it to me. I'll take over from now on.
What's wrong with her?
Why is she being nice to me?
She's going to stay here starting today.
It's the decision I must make for you.
I have to end my life.
I'll be cheering for you
and for what you'll do in the future.
- Let's go in.
- Okay. Thank you.
I guess I have a lot
of housework ahead of me.
It must be four digits, right?
They usually press the star sign
at the end.
Neither of you knows the passcode?
We never had to press it to go inside.
This reminds me of something.
It's like we're about to go into
a haunted house at an amusement park.
It's fearful and exciting.
You don't know what's waiting for you
and you wonder if you will
even come back out alive.
Come on in.
What?
Why are you-
Why is she here? Since when? How?
- She's going to live here from now.
- I look forward to it.
Give her the passcode to the door.
It's 1004. Why is she staying here?
What about me?
Drink that. You better sober up first.
This spot is perfect
for a baroque-style chair.
Is this a photo studio?
It's better to get a daybed
in a pastel tone to calm her down.
This isn't a daycare.
We can hang a 19th century
romantic painting with a fireplace.
Are you decorating a cottage?
We'll put up
Scandinavian style wallpapers.
This isn't a model house. She's my guest.
- This is my house.
- It's my room.
I'm okay with everything.
I'll put up 19th century
romantic wallpapers on this side
and put up a pastel fireplace
on this side. That's fair.
Should I sleep on the couch
in the living room for today?
If you're uncomfortable,
I don't mind sleeping
in the flowerbed outside.
I'm not in the position
to be picky about where I sleep.
- You should've bought a bed first-
- Sleep in my room.
With you?
No!
Then what about you?
What is the meaning of this?
I'll sleep on the bed, so don't you worry.
You can sleep comfortably on the couch.
What are you talking about, Goblin?
That won't happen. It's my bed.
Don't taint it.
I know. I told you not to worry.
- There's a couch outside.
- I can't sleep there.
- She'll be walking around.
- Go to a hotel, then.
I can't sleep at a hotel when she's alone.
Where are you going?
I'll make the missing soul
sleep in the flowerbed.
- Were you always so heartless?
- Yes.
- Then I'll take the couch.
- Don't talk to me either.
Please be nice to her.
This is comfortable.
Would he have sat down like this?
This is my book.
I told him to read it, not keep it.
STARS MIGHT TAKE YOUR SORROW AWAY
He didn't throw it out.
Is he cherishing it or what?
What is this book about?
Right, I don't know Chinese characters.
The war does not stop
even on this foreign land.
Swords and arrows allow them
to steal land and food
as well as lives.
The gods here and in the land of Goryeo
are all the same.
I buried the grandson of the little child
I left Goryeo with,
his grandson's grandson and his grandson.
On a chair in the corner of a small room,
I spent days and nights.
My will isn't about my last words
before death.
Oh Almighty,
my will is a request
for you to grant me death.
I considered this life
as an award at times,
but it turned out to be a punishment.
I have never forgotten...
anyone's death.
That is why...
I long to end this life.
However, the Almighty turns deaf
to my cries.
Have you ever seen the Almighty?
Do you see the Almighty right now?
I told you not to talk to me.
How can a mere Grim Reaper
see the Almighty?
I've seen him.
- What does he look like?
- You know.
He was a butterfly.
That's how he's like.
He forbids you from hurting
even a passing butterfly.
If he'd let me see his face,
at least I would be able to resent him.
That's true.
If the Almighty only hands you
hardships you can handle,
I think he thought too highly of me.
Is it too hard for you?
Don't worry.
I won't cry in your arms.
Humans see him all the time,
but we don't get to see him.
Not even once.
Right, I'm at the Goblin's house.
What are they going to do about breakfast?
I wonder if they have any food.
He's got everything,
but the room still feels lonely.
How beautiful!
I wondered how you two would manage
a living.
It's been such a long time
since someone cooked for me.
I didn't say it was for you.
Thank you for the food.
I will earn my own money.
Starting tomorrow,
I'll take care of my own meal.
I'll also do my laundry.
That's how we do every day.
Usually, people who live in
big houses have helpers, don't...
Did you secretly practice?
You must be in good shape today.
So this is why
you can't hire any helpers.
I wrote something in a similar context.
I'd appreciate it
if you listen attentively.
"Letter of Plea.
Number one.
I hope it won't rain too often."
It will be inconvenient for people,
so please stay happy
as long as I live in this house.
"Number two. Talk to me if
you're not happy with something."
I hope you won't take me, plan to take me,
or decide to take me any time
in the future.
"Number three.
In case of emergency, contact me."
Don't show up unannounced.
"Ji Eun-tak. Reach me at 010-1234-1234."
For your information, don't call me
during school or my part-time job.
I turn off my phone in the library.
That's all.
I'm off to school now.
Is she saying we should call her or not?
Is she looking down on us...
for not having mobile phones?
Really?
Here.
I want this chic black one. I like it.
You take the blue one. Do you like it?
He's overly excited right now.
He's never seen such a thing before.
Explain to him.
You can memorize your number later.
It's called a smartphone.
I'm okay. Just explain to
this guy who's never seen it before.
He's right. You can just explain it to me.
Do you really know how to use it?
It's a very smart device.
Do you think I didn't use it
because I don't know how?
- I didn't need it.
- On TV dramas,
people were talking to each other's faces.
If you're in such a hurry,
you should've bought it 300 years ago.
Gosh, you guys.
I will teach you that later.
First, go to the app store.
- Right now?
- What?
Why are you getting up?
You said we're going to the app store.
Right.
Is it far?
- What are you doing? Get your coat.
- Okay.
I thought you wanted to talk face-to-face.
I know.
I don't see your face.
Did you put it to your ear? Move it away.
Move what away?
Your arm. Stretch your arm
away from your face.
Like this.
My arm?
Okay.
Like this?
Like this?
I can't see you.
What do I do with you?
KIM SHIN
MILITARY OFFICER FROM LATE GORYEO
A military officer?
Was he a general?
So he used to work for the government.
That's a stable job.
Why isn't there any data about him?
Maybe he lacks achievements.
Who could it be?
I don't recognize the number.
Hello?
You know how to use a smartphone now?
It has a 5.5-inch QHD display,
Exynos 8890,
an octa-core processor, and 4GB RAM.
It's made with tempered glass
and has a light and slim body.
Why did you memorize that?
What do you need?
A brush? We have lots
of toothbrushes and towels.
You don't know what this is, do you?
He's actually you.
He's got rosy cheeks. How can it be me?
That's not what I mean.
This guy is actually a goblin,
but since people are scared of him,
he covered himself up with buckwheat jelly
in order to disguise himself.
Isn't he adorable?
You got what I meant, right?
This is what people use to study at night.
Mister, this is...
Anything else?
That's more than enough.
They're just going to be a burden
when I move out.
- What do you mean?
- We never know what will happen.
- I might move out of the house.
- Not that.
What do you mean you are
going to take them?
Did I say you can take them?
RECEIPT CONFIRMATION
MESSENGER KIM
Now that I think of it,
I don't even know your name.
What's your name?
It's not like
I asked how much you earn,
how wealthy you are,
or if you inherited anything.
How can you get up and leave
because I asked for your name?
I am sensitive when it comes to my name.
I am sorry, Seon-hui.
I told you it's Sunny, not Seon-hui.
Are we already parting?
You said we'd go for a quick cup
of coffee. I finished my coffee.
You are unbelievable.
By the way,
you borrowed my receipt
to get a coffee refill.
You haven't given it back to me.
Why do you think I got my coffee refilled?
Are you very fond of coffee?
Please give me back the receipt.
My company's very strict.
I did it. I got it.
ADD TO CONTACTS
ADD
SUNNY NOT SEON-HUI
SAVE
I did it.
SUNNY NOT SEON-HUI
Go check your room. I made it livable.
Really?
It's heavy.
Do you like it?
You made me carry everything
when you were going to come up?
My hands need to rest.
This and this.
This hand spent too much money.
Was it this hand?
Is this paradise? I love it.
Did you do it yourself?
With those frail-looking hands?
I imagined I was doing it myself
when I asked for it.
Rest up.
No nails on the wall.
My room is downstairs,
so tiptoe when you walk.
Okay. Goodnight.
She's moving the plant.
It needs to face south.
Good job.
She likes the bed.
She's coming out of the room.
I can't concentrate at all.
A girl will be studying,
because she is a high school senior.
What?
A name?
Why do you ask?
Can I guess?
They say if the Grim Reaper says
your name three times, you die.
I'm married now.
I'm a different person.
I have a family.
I'm taking my husband's last name,
so I'm no longer Ji Eun-tak.
I'm not Ji Eun-tak.
Not your name.
A man's name that women would like.
What?
I don't
have a name.
That's why I'm asking.
What's a popular name?
You don't have a name?
The Goblin has one.
What is it?
Kim Shin. Isn't it pretty?
How annoying.
Is there a name you've been thinking of?
Hyeok...
Joon...
Min?
If you want a name that women like,
there are three famous ones.
Hyun Bin.
Won Bin.
Kim Woo-bin.
Bin.
He wouldn't really name himself
Hyun Bin, Won Bin, or Kim Woo-bin,
would he?
Well, your name is Yoo Deok-hwa.
There's an infuriating story behind it.
Why did Uncle have to be into
Lau Tak Wah in 1992?
I still haven't watched Infernal Affairs.
I'm boycotting it.
Even if I become
the head of Cheonwoo Group,
I'll appear below him on online searches.
But then again, I'm below you as well.
What does that mean?
You hold something important to me
in your hands.
Like what?
My credit card.
That's more important to me
than life itself.
What was that?
I thought I was born
with absolutely nothing,
but it seems like I have a lot
in my hands. It's kind of cool.
Here.
Drop me off in front
of the chicken restaurant.
Don't tell me that's where you work.
It is. Why?
Listen while you eat.
About that chicken restaurant
I talked to you about before...
Something unexpected came up.
Forget I said anything. Cancel it.
There's no need to worry.
I didn't do it anyway.
I guess you can call this
a blessing in disguise.
So I was wondering...
Did my grandfather tell you
to relay anything to me?
He did.
He said to take care of Eun-tak
since her college
entrance exam is coming up.
What? He didn't give you
a credit card to give to me?
"One. Do not talk to Ji Eun-tak.
Two. Remember silence is golden.
Three, be a man of few words.
Four, do not talk."
He said he hopes you will succeed
in all these difficult tasks.
- No credit card?
- No.
When you get bored while studying...
Take out the sword, please.
I know you're busy studying,
but when you have time, the sword, please.
I know you're tired from studying,
but take a moment for the sword, please.
I know you are lonely from studying,
but when you have spare time,
his sword, please.
Keep my acts of encouragement a secret.
Oh my gosh.
What's your dream?
What do you want to become?
You eat this much,
but you won't remove the sword.
All you do is study. What is your dream?
A radio producer.
I'm planning to major in that, too.
That's not what I mean.
How will you get into college
if you're this dense?
How could you say something so mean?
I've been
pondering it carefully,
and I'll postpone
making you pretty for now.
You'll postpone it?
Are you sure you were pondering?
What if you kick me out
because I lose my value to you?
Just thinking about it stresses me out
and I can't study.
If you can't study,
why do you eat all those snacks?
See? Now you're showing your true face.
Are you regretting it?
See? You should've agreed
when I offered to do it
for five million won.
Even still,
I'm like water and fire, and a being
that exists and does not exist.
How could I make a deal for money?
It's so crude.
I'd receive it with class.
But...
why is it always five million won?
I'm asking because it is
such an awkward amount.
It's not even enough
to get a place in Seoul.
I don't even dream
of getting a place in Seoul.
It's enough money to sleep in saunas
until I become an adult.
And if I get into college,
I'll need to pay tuition,
so I'll set two million won aside.
It's an exact amount
after calculating student loans
and other living expenses.
To someone with nothing like me,
five million won is as important
as five-hundred million won.
Do you get it now?
Give her the five million won.
How could you still...
You're so cold-hearted.
- I have something to ask.
- You want five million?
For a second there...
I thought you were buying me with money.
Five million won. Give it to her.
You startled me.
I thought you were offering.
"Five million won. Give it to her."
That's what he said.
Go study.
By the way, I heard your name is Kim Shin.
Yes. Why?
Your name...
is super cool.
Seriously.
You won't?
Call me.
Ma'am, are you busy?
I can't remember the last time I was busy.
Can I call you by your name, then?
I don't have a sister
to discuss things with.
If you need a sister to talk to,
then the topic is obvious.
- Are you pregnant?
- No way.
- Then what?
- Well...
What do you think about
getting married at a young age?
How old is the guy? 19? 20?
A bit older than that.
How old could he be? What's he like?
He loves to read, and he knows
a lot about music and art.
- He used to serve the country-
- Not that.
How does he treat you? Is he nice to you?
For now. He needs me.
And you? Do you like him?
- No way.
- What about him?
Does he like you?
No.
Why are you getting married
if neither of you like each other?
I wonder why.
What's going on?
I won't bother you anymore.
Mister.
Do you love me?
I will if you need me to.
I love you.
I don't need that kind of love.
I hope you won't need it either.
I won't make you pretty.
I'm home.
Are you folding the laundry? Let me help.
Did you do this all alone?
I can tell you did.
I'm glad you noticed.
You're the one who folds
all the bathroom towels.
You have some killer skills.
I'd rather you not use
the word "kill" around me.
I'm sorry.
I love the towels here.
They're soft, luxurious, and bouncy.
Thank you.
This painting by a famous 17th century
Dutch painter,
Rembrandt van Rijn, combines
light and shadow dramatically.
People know it as The Night Watch,
but it's actually
The Militia Company of District II under
the command of Captain Frans Banning Cocq.
Where should I hang this?
I think I saw you wearing that scarf
when you were nine.
- Is it the same one?
- It is.
My mom left it to me.
She thought I see ghosts because
of the mark on my neck.
She thought I would stop seeing ghosts
if I wore this,
so she always covered me up with scarves.
It didn't work at all,
but it became a habit.
This feels like her now.
- Give her the money.
- Stop asking me for money.
And you.
Why are all your life stories so tragic?
I'm scared to ask questions now.
- What's wrong with him?
- I wasn't talking to you.
He has a bad personality.
It must've been hard for you.
Have you decided on a name?
Hey senior. Shouldn't you be studying?
You might fail college if you're lucky.
It's the other way around.
If I'm lucky, I'll get into college.
Whatever. Go and study.
You'll never become
a radio producer at this rate.
Is that what you want to do?
That sounds cool.
Yes. I've loved listening to the radio
since I was young.
I mentioned the radio.
Why are you talking to him?
People who live together
are allowed to chat, you know.
"People"?
Are any of us who live here real people?
Do you see the sword in me?
Mister, if you haven't decided on a name,
what do you think about Park Bo-gum?
Park Bo-gum?
What kind of gum?
Don't use food to joke around with names.
Unbelievable.
Whose fault is it that I have a mark
and that I see ghosts?
- It looks just fine.
- Hey.
Did you just flick my hair?
No wonder the sword
is pierced in your chest.
There must be a good enough reason
for a person to end up like him.
How can you joke about
a person's painful past like that?
Are you a psychopath?
Do you think you're any different?
"You aren't the Goblin's bride.
Focus on reality, instead of rumors."
You weren't exactly kind and gentle.
I said all that for your sake.
If you care for me, find me a boyfriend.
The part-time job, my aunt,
and a boyfriend.
What kind of a guardian are you?
My wish never came true.
Your boyfriend's right here!
Where? I don't see him!
Right here in front of you! Me!
He must be insane. My boyfriend?
Who said he is? Does he like me?
What a joke.
My first mistake in 900 years.
I'm actually her husband,
not her boyfriend.
Should I go and correct myself?
I am in such a bind.
I...
can't even make a call
because I don't have a name.
But those two...
I...
can't even make a call
because I don't have a name.
But those two...
Why is it so dark in here?
What are you doing?
Are you still here?
Get out, both of you.
What's wrong with him? Is something wrong?
His face says it's about a woman.
How? Why? Where?
This must be her number.
Look at the kiss mark.
Give that back when I'm being polite.
Did you kiss the mark here or not?
Be very honest.
You need to come with me.
We aren't going anywhere pleasant.
- Uncle...
- The phone's ringing.
- Don't call her.
- Why did you get her number then?
To pretend to be human.
In case I get to call her one day.
- That day is today.
- Hello?
Talk like a human. Go on.
SUNNY NOT SEON-HUI
Hello, I am...
No, that sounds terrible.
Should I be gruff?
What? Don't you know my voice?
I'm very hard to forget...
That sounds bad.
Hello? Oh, gosh, hello.
- Hello?
- The third one.
- Hello?
- Were you listening all along?
- Why aren't you frozen?
- Aren't I just amazing?
Take the call.
I can do this, too.
Melt.
- What's this?
- Eat up.
Freeze.
Hello?
Hello?
You do know how to make a call.
I thought you couldn't,
or that you'd broken your fingers.
I see.
I learned how to.
My fingers aren't broken.
Thanks for your concern.
So you still have my number.
Yes. Your number is fine.
I was waiting for you to call.
I see.
Shouldn't you say something after "I see"?
Don't you have something to say?
- Like what?
- Something like, "When are you free
during the morning, afternoon,
or evening?"
When are you free during the morning,
afternoon, or evening?
I prefer to meet in the morning
and part in the evening.
I must seem human, so I'll walk.
Get in.
No human can walk all the way to Incheon.
Your boyfriend's right here!
- Where? I don't see him!
- Right here in front of you! Me!
You startled me...
I was feeling thirsty.
I was...
I have to go to work.
Eun-tak.
Yes?
What?
You just called me.
- I did?
- Yes.
- Why?
- That's what I want to know.
Because I feel awkward.
I do too.
Should I...
say that I'm hungry as always?
Do that.
Then I'll ask...
if you want steak as always.
I'll go get my coat.
You should go get dressed.
I'm all ready. Let's go.
This is my second visit.
At this rate, I'll become a regular here.
That's where we sat last time.
I know. It's not like
I've been abroad before.
Why would you go there now
when you're just about to turn 30?
When I was 29,
I barely went to the supermarket.
- Are you serious?
- Yes, I didn't have any appointments.
I've been travelling around
just fine for someone
who's never been abroad before.
I rarely get lost and I never miss a meal.
Now, I'm going to
have a big chunk of steak.
I'm at a nice restaurant with a guy.
It's the guy that should be nice,
not the restaurant.
I have to go. I'm sleepy.
Okay. Have a good night.
Sir, over here.
At the age of 29,
you're still shining.
But I'm not...
by your side.
My life of eternity...
has finally come to an end.
After my death,
you are still sitting here.
You've forgotten me...
and your life is perfectly complete
with me gone.
I have to disappear.
For you, who is smiling so brightly.
It's the decision I have to make.
I have to end my life.
I guess in the end,
that's the decision I made.
He's still handsome
and still strange.
I know he's strange,
but when I see his face,
I forget everything.
You're not supposed to
press down on my head that hard.
You're supposed to brush it gently.
Can you...
make me prettier now?
Okay.
Don't suffer anymore.
You've suffered enough.
I left the house deed in your room.
This is really your house now.
Have a long and happy life.
And I have a favor to ask.
Once I disappear,
so will the mark on her neck.
When that happens,
erase her memory,
so she doesn't blame herself.
Subtitle translation by Ji-hong Park
"Mass is not proportional to volume.
A girl as small as a violet...
A girl who flutters like a flower petal...
pulls me with more force
than that of the Earth.
Just then,
like Newton's apple,
I rolled and fell on her helplessly...
with a thump.
With a thump, thump."
That was an awesome red carpet.
Was that you?
It was amazing.
Mister.
"My heart continued
to swing dizzily like a pendulum."
Are you angry?
"It was my first love."
I'll...
walk from here.
You can drop me off around there.
I know the area surrounding the hotel.
- I can walk-
- Okay then.
Goodbye.
Only the bride of the Goblin
will be able to draw the sword.
Once it's drawn,
everything will turn to ashes,
and be at peace.
Life is a mixture of all sorts of genres.
What genre was your day today?
A romantic comedy?
A strange but beautiful fantasy?
A sad melodrama?
Can you not do this?
Talk to me like a normally.
You scare me.
Sorry if I scared you.
I need to ask for a favor.
I'm really sorry,
but can you go to where I was staying
and fill up the fridge?
The fridge?
Yes. I haven't been dead for long,
and my mom hasn't seen my room yet
with the funeral and all.
She'll be heartbroken
if she sees my empty fridge.
Please help me out.
But...
I don't have any money.
I'm afraid I didn't think that far.
I'm sorry.
I have an idea.
Thank you.
The tea is getting cold.
You did well in this life.
Take care as you move on to the next one.
What's this?
A coincidence?
Not for me.
Why didn't you call? I waited.
You said you'd call.
I'll go and call you right now.
Where are you going?
To look for a payphone?
I'm going home.
That's where my phone is. I'll call you.
What a joke.
But we've met like this.
It was good to see you.
This is insane.
How about coffee instead of a phone call?
There are cafes everywhere, and I'm free.
Excuse me.
Are we just going to drink coffee?
It's already dark.
Isn't the day so short?
It was not.
You've been sitting like that for an hour.
Shouldn't we exchange formalities
like normal people?
Shouldn't we talk?
Hello. How have you been?
Just fine. Have you been well?
How is my ring?
Do you still not have a mobile phone?
Yes, I have been well.
Your ring is fine.
I don't have a mobile phone.
Be honest with me.
You forgot my name, didn't you?
It's Seon-hui.
It's Sunny, not Seon-hui.
Seriously, you are a funny guy.
Are you acting like that on purpose?
Why are you staring at me?
I can't help it...
when you smile.
Now that I think of it,
I don't even know your name.
What's your name?
She asked my name.
But I don't remember my name.
She even asked how my life was going.
How could I answer that
when I'm not even alive?
Her smile...
reflected the light of the sun
when it shone the brightest.
It reminded me of the moment
my life was taken away.
I made up my mind.
I must disappear...
before I feel
a stronger longing for my life.
Before I become happier than now.
It's the decision...
I must make for you.
I have to end my life.
By the way,
I hear everything you're thinking.
Are you really going to die?
Yes.
Before the first snowfall.
Have you been drinking?
- No way.
- Yes, you have.
The fridge was totally empty.
You ate all the chocolate,
peanuts, and even beef jerky.
It's okay. I understand.
But why did you throw out all the bottles?
Did you think I wouldn't notice
if you threw them out?
I had my reasons.
Mr. Yoo said I should ask you
for whatever I needed.
I'm sorry, but can you pay for me?
I don't have any money on me.
I don't have any money either. I don't...
I don't have any money.
I was about to pay... Oh, gosh.
I'm coming in.
What are you doing here?
Did Deok-hwa tell you everything?
About what?
The thing is...
To tell you the truth,
Deok-hwa scolded me.
He is not really in a position
to scold others.
I emptied the fridge.
Can you pay this for me?
I'll pay you back once I get paid
for working part-time.
Is it too much to ask for?
Honestly, you're the one who drank.
I put the rest to good use.
If you keep ignoring me,
I'll blow all these candles out.
I can make you come in
and out of here all day.
Don't summon me anymore.
There's no need for that.
I'll stay by your side from now on.
Let's go home.
Whose home?
My home.
Because you're the Goblin's bride.
Mister.
Do you love me?
I will if you need me to.
I love you.
Do you really hate me that much?
How much do you have to hate me...
to feel this sad?
It's pouring out there.
Never mind.
Even if you hate me and I make you sad,
I'll go live with you.
I'm not in any position
to be picky at the moment.
I just need to pull out the sword, right?
Yes.
That's all you need to do.
Wait here. I'll go pack my things.
What's your name?
I wasn't asking
because I was really curious.
I know our relationship is
somewhere in between marriage
and being housemates.
I'm aware of its ambiguity,
but I'm supposed to be the Goblin's wife.
I think I should know
what my husband's name is at least.
Are we...
Right, I guess I can't call us "we" yet.
We started long before...
you were even born.
Sometimes, I'm Yoo Jeong-shin,
and sometimes, I'm Yoo Ji-shin.
Currently, I'm Yoo Shin-jae.
My real name...
is Kim Shin.
Go.
It's a green light.
Today is recycling day.
I see a new side to you every day.
Give it to me. I'll take over from now on.
What's wrong with her?
Why is she being nice to me?
She's going to stay here starting today.
It's the decision I must make for you.
I have to end my life.
I'll be cheering for you
and for what you'll do in the future.
- Let's go in.
- Okay. Thank you.
I guess I have a lot
of housework ahead of me.
It must be four digits, right?
They usually press the star sign
at the end.
Neither of you knows the passcode?
We never had to press it to go inside.
This reminds me of something.
It's like we're about to go into
a haunted house at an amusement park.
It's fearful and exciting.
You don't know what's waiting for you
and you wonder if you will
even come back out alive.
Come on in.
What?
Why are you-
Why is she here? Since when? How?
- She's going to live here from now.
- I look forward to it.
Give her the passcode to the door.
It's 1004. Why is she staying here?
What about me?
Drink that. You better sober up first.
This spot is perfect
for a baroque-style chair.
Is this a photo studio?
It's better to get a daybed
in a pastel tone to calm her down.
This isn't a daycare.
We can hang a 19th century
romantic painting with a fireplace.
Are you decorating a cottage?
We'll put up
Scandinavian style wallpapers.
This isn't a model house. She's my guest.
- This is my house.
- It's my room.
I'm okay with everything.
I'll put up 19th century
romantic wallpapers on this side
and put up a pastel fireplace
on this side. That's fair.
Should I sleep on the couch
in the living room for today?
If you're uncomfortable,
I don't mind sleeping
in the flowerbed outside.
I'm not in the position
to be picky about where I sleep.
- You should've bought a bed first-
- Sleep in my room.
With you?
No!
Then what about you?
What is the meaning of this?
I'll sleep on the bed, so don't you worry.
You can sleep comfortably on the couch.
What are you talking about, Goblin?
That won't happen. It's my bed.
Don't taint it.
I know. I told you not to worry.
- There's a couch outside.
- I can't sleep there.
- She'll be walking around.
- Go to a hotel, then.
I can't sleep at a hotel when she's alone.
Where are you going?
I'll make the missing soul
sleep in the flowerbed.
- Were you always so heartless?
- Yes.
- Then I'll take the couch.
- Don't talk to me either.
Please be nice to her.
This is comfortable.
Would he have sat down like this?
This is my book.
I told him to read it, not keep it.
STARS MIGHT TAKE YOUR SORROW AWAY
He didn't throw it out.
Is he cherishing it or what?
What is this book about?
Right, I don't know Chinese characters.
The war does not stop
even on this foreign land.
Swords and arrows allow them
to steal land and food
as well as lives.
The gods here and in the land of Goryeo
are all the same.
I buried the grandson of the little child
I left Goryeo with,
his grandson's grandson and his grandson.
On a chair in the corner of a small room,
I spent days and nights.
My will isn't about my last words
before death.
Oh Almighty,
my will is a request
for you to grant me death.
I considered this life
as an award at times,
but it turned out to be a punishment.
I have never forgotten...
anyone's death.
That is why...
I long to end this life.
However, the Almighty turns deaf
to my cries.
Have you ever seen the Almighty?
Do you see the Almighty right now?
I told you not to talk to me.
How can a mere Grim Reaper
see the Almighty?
I've seen him.
- What does he look like?
- You know.
He was a butterfly.
That's how he's like.
He forbids you from hurting
even a passing butterfly.
If he'd let me see his face,
at least I would be able to resent him.
That's true.
If the Almighty only hands you
hardships you can handle,
I think he thought too highly of me.
Is it too hard for you?
Don't worry.
I won't cry in your arms.
Humans see him all the time,
but we don't get to see him.
Not even once.
Right, I'm at the Goblin's house.
What are they going to do about breakfast?
I wonder if they have any food.
He's got everything,
but the room still feels lonely.
How beautiful!
I wondered how you two would manage
a living.
It's been such a long time
since someone cooked for me.
I didn't say it was for you.
Thank you for the food.
I will earn my own money.
Starting tomorrow,
I'll take care of my own meal.
I'll also do my laundry.
That's how we do every day.
Usually, people who live in
big houses have helpers, don't...
Did you secretly practice?
You must be in good shape today.
So this is why
you can't hire any helpers.
I wrote something in a similar context.
I'd appreciate it
if you listen attentively.
"Letter of Plea.
Number one.
I hope it won't rain too often."
It will be inconvenient for people,
so please stay happy
as long as I live in this house.
"Number two. Talk to me if
you're not happy with something."
I hope you won't take me, plan to take me,
or decide to take me any time
in the future.
"Number three.
In case of emergency, contact me."
Don't show up unannounced.
"Ji Eun-tak. Reach me at 010-1234-1234."
For your information, don't call me
during school or my part-time job.
I turn off my phone in the library.
That's all.
I'm off to school now.
Is she saying we should call her or not?
Is she looking down on us...
for not having mobile phones?
Really?
Here.
I want this chic black one. I like it.
You take the blue one. Do you like it?
He's overly excited right now.
He's never seen such a thing before.
Explain to him.
You can memorize your number later.
It's called a smartphone.
I'm okay. Just explain to
this guy who's never seen it before.
He's right. You can just explain it to me.
Do you really know how to use it?
It's a very smart device.
Do you think I didn't use it
because I don't know how?
- I didn't need it.
- On TV dramas,
people were talking to each other's faces.
If you're in such a hurry,
you should've bought it 300 years ago.
Gosh, you guys.
I will teach you that later.
First, go to the app store.
- Right now?
- What?
Why are you getting up?
You said we're going to the app store.
Right.
Is it far?
- What are you doing? Get your coat.
- Okay.
I thought you wanted to talk face-to-face.
I know.
I don't see your face.
Did you put it to your ear? Move it away.
Move what away?
Your arm. Stretch your arm
away from your face.
Like this.
My arm?
Okay.
Like this?
Like this?
I can't see you.
What do I do with you?
KIM SHIN
MILITARY OFFICER FROM LATE GORYEO
A military officer?
Was he a general?
So he used to work for the government.
That's a stable job.
Why isn't there any data about him?
Maybe he lacks achievements.
Who could it be?
I don't recognize the number.
Hello?
You know how to use a smartphone now?
It has a 5.5-inch QHD display,
Exynos 8890,
an octa-core processor, and 4GB RAM.
It's made with tempered glass
and has a light and slim body.
Why did you memorize that?
What do you need?
A brush? We have lots
of toothbrushes and towels.
You don't know what this is, do you?
He's actually you.
He's got rosy cheeks. How can it be me?
That's not what I mean.
This guy is actually a goblin,
but since people are scared of him,
he covered himself up with buckwheat jelly
in order to disguise himself.
Isn't he adorable?
You got what I meant, right?
This is what people use to study at night.
Mister, this is...
Anything else?
That's more than enough.
They're just going to be a burden
when I move out.
- What do you mean?
- We never know what will happen.
- I might move out of the house.
- Not that.
What do you mean you are
going to take them?
Did I say you can take them?
RECEIPT CONFIRMATION
MESSENGER KIM
Now that I think of it,
I don't even know your name.
What's your name?
It's not like
I asked how much you earn,
how wealthy you are,
or if you inherited anything.
How can you get up and leave
because I asked for your name?
I am sensitive when it comes to my name.
I am sorry, Seon-hui.
I told you it's Sunny, not Seon-hui.
Are we already parting?
You said we'd go for a quick cup
of coffee. I finished my coffee.
You are unbelievable.
By the way,
you borrowed my receipt
to get a coffee refill.
You haven't given it back to me.
Why do you think I got my coffee refilled?
Are you very fond of coffee?
Please give me back the receipt.
My company's very strict.
I did it. I got it.
ADD TO CONTACTS
ADD
SUNNY NOT SEON-HUI
SAVE
I did it.
SUNNY NOT SEON-HUI
Go check your room. I made it livable.
Really?
It's heavy.
Do you like it?
You made me carry everything
when you were going to come up?
My hands need to rest.
This and this.
This hand spent too much money.
Was it this hand?
Is this paradise? I love it.
Did you do it yourself?
With those frail-looking hands?
I imagined I was doing it myself
when I asked for it.
Rest up.
No nails on the wall.
My room is downstairs,
so tiptoe when you walk.
Okay. Goodnight.
She's moving the plant.
It needs to face south.
Good job.
She likes the bed.
She's coming out of the room.
I can't concentrate at all.
A girl will be studying,
because she is a high school senior.
What?
A name?
Why do you ask?
Can I guess?
They say if the Grim Reaper says
your name three times, you die.
I'm married now.
I'm a different person.
I have a family.
I'm taking my husband's last name,
so I'm no longer Ji Eun-tak.
I'm not Ji Eun-tak.
Not your name.
A man's name that women would like.
What?
I don't
have a name.
That's why I'm asking.
What's a popular name?
You don't have a name?
The Goblin has one.
What is it?
Kim Shin. Isn't it pretty?
How annoying.
Is there a name you've been thinking of?
Hyeok...
Joon...
Min?
If you want a name that women like,
there are three famous ones.
Hyun Bin.
Won Bin.
Kim Woo-bin.
Bin.
He wouldn't really name himself
Hyun Bin, Won Bin, or Kim Woo-bin,
would he?
Well, your name is Yoo Deok-hwa.
There's an infuriating story behind it.
Why did Uncle have to be into
Lau Tak Wah in 1992?
I still haven't watched Infernal Affairs.
I'm boycotting it.
Even if I become
the head of Cheonwoo Group,
I'll appear below him on online searches.
But then again, I'm below you as well.
What does that mean?
You hold something important to me
in your hands.
Like what?
My credit card.
That's more important to me
than life itself.
What was that?
I thought I was born
with absolutely nothing,
but it seems like I have a lot
in my hands. It's kind of cool.
Here.
Drop me off in front
of the chicken restaurant.
Don't tell me that's where you work.
It is. Why?
Listen while you eat.
About that chicken restaurant
I talked to you about before...
Something unexpected came up.
Forget I said anything. Cancel it.
There's no need to worry.
I didn't do it anyway.
I guess you can call this
a blessing in disguise.
So I was wondering...
Did my grandfather tell you
to relay anything to me?
He did.
He said to take care of Eun-tak
since her college
entrance exam is coming up.
What? He didn't give you
a credit card to give to me?
"One. Do not talk to Ji Eun-tak.
Two. Remember silence is golden.
Three, be a man of few words.
Four, do not talk."
He said he hopes you will succeed
in all these difficult tasks.
- No credit card?
- No.
When you get bored while studying...
Take out the sword, please.
I know you're busy studying,
but when you have time, the sword, please.
I know you're tired from studying,
but take a moment for the sword, please.
I know you are lonely from studying,
but when you have spare time,
his sword, please.
Keep my acts of encouragement a secret.
Oh my gosh.
What's your dream?
What do you want to become?
You eat this much,
but you won't remove the sword.
All you do is study. What is your dream?
A radio producer.
I'm planning to major in that, too.
That's not what I mean.
How will you get into college
if you're this dense?
How could you say something so mean?
I've been
pondering it carefully,
and I'll postpone
making you pretty for now.
You'll postpone it?
Are you sure you were pondering?
What if you kick me out
because I lose my value to you?
Just thinking about it stresses me out
and I can't study.
If you can't study,
why do you eat all those snacks?
See? Now you're showing your true face.
Are you regretting it?
See? You should've agreed
when I offered to do it
for five million won.
Even still,
I'm like water and fire, and a being
that exists and does not exist.
How could I make a deal for money?
It's so crude.
I'd receive it with class.
But...
why is it always five million won?
I'm asking because it is
such an awkward amount.
It's not even enough
to get a place in Seoul.
I don't even dream
of getting a place in Seoul.
It's enough money to sleep in saunas
until I become an adult.
And if I get into college,
I'll need to pay tuition,
so I'll set two million won aside.
It's an exact amount
after calculating student loans
and other living expenses.
To someone with nothing like me,
five million won is as important
as five-hundred million won.
Do you get it now?
Give her the five million won.
How could you still...
You're so cold-hearted.
- I have something to ask.
- You want five million?
For a second there...
I thought you were buying me with money.
Five million won. Give it to her.
You startled me.
I thought you were offering.
"Five million won. Give it to her."
That's what he said.
Go study.
By the way, I heard your name is Kim Shin.
Yes. Why?
Your name...
is super cool.
Seriously.
You won't?
Call me.
Ma'am, are you busy?
I can't remember the last time I was busy.
Can I call you by your name, then?
I don't have a sister
to discuss things with.
If you need a sister to talk to,
then the topic is obvious.
- Are you pregnant?
- No way.
- Then what?
- Well...
What do you think about
getting married at a young age?
How old is the guy? 19? 20?
A bit older than that.
How old could he be? What's he like?
He loves to read, and he knows
a lot about music and art.
- He used to serve the country-
- Not that.
How does he treat you? Is he nice to you?
For now. He needs me.
And you? Do you like him?
- No way.
- What about him?
Does he like you?
No.
Why are you getting married
if neither of you like each other?
I wonder why.
What's going on?
I won't bother you anymore.
Mister.
Do you love me?
I will if you need me to.
I love you.
I don't need that kind of love.
I hope you won't need it either.
I won't make you pretty.
I'm home.
Are you folding the laundry? Let me help.
Did you do this all alone?
I can tell you did.
I'm glad you noticed.
You're the one who folds
all the bathroom towels.
You have some killer skills.
I'd rather you not use
the word "kill" around me.
I'm sorry.
I love the towels here.
They're soft, luxurious, and bouncy.
Thank you.
This painting by a famous 17th century
Dutch painter,
Rembrandt van Rijn, combines
light and shadow dramatically.
People know it as The Night Watch,
but it's actually
The Militia Company of District II under
the command of Captain Frans Banning Cocq.
Where should I hang this?
I think I saw you wearing that scarf
when you were nine.
- Is it the same one?
- It is.
My mom left it to me.
She thought I see ghosts because
of the mark on my neck.
She thought I would stop seeing ghosts
if I wore this,
so she always covered me up with scarves.
It didn't work at all,
but it became a habit.
This feels like her now.
- Give her the money.
- Stop asking me for money.
And you.
Why are all your life stories so tragic?
I'm scared to ask questions now.
- What's wrong with him?
- I wasn't talking to you.
He has a bad personality.
It must've been hard for you.
Have you decided on a name?
Hey senior. Shouldn't you be studying?
You might fail college if you're lucky.
It's the other way around.
If I'm lucky, I'll get into college.
Whatever. Go and study.
You'll never become
a radio producer at this rate.
Is that what you want to do?
That sounds cool.
Yes. I've loved listening to the radio
since I was young.
I mentioned the radio.
Why are you talking to him?
People who live together
are allowed to chat, you know.
"People"?
Are any of us who live here real people?
Do you see the sword in me?
Mister, if you haven't decided on a name,
what do you think about Park Bo-gum?
Park Bo-gum?
What kind of gum?
Don't use food to joke around with names.
Unbelievable.
Whose fault is it that I have a mark
and that I see ghosts?
- It looks just fine.
- Hey.
Did you just flick my hair?
No wonder the sword
is pierced in your chest.
There must be a good enough reason
for a person to end up like him.
How can you joke about
a person's painful past like that?
Are you a psychopath?
Do you think you're any different?
"You aren't the Goblin's bride.
Focus on reality, instead of rumors."
You weren't exactly kind and gentle.
I said all that for your sake.
If you care for me, find me a boyfriend.
The part-time job, my aunt,
and a boyfriend.
What kind of a guardian are you?
My wish never came true.
Your boyfriend's right here!
Where? I don't see him!
Right here in front of you! Me!
He must be insane. My boyfriend?
Who said he is? Does he like me?
What a joke.
My first mistake in 900 years.
I'm actually her husband,
not her boyfriend.
Should I go and correct myself?
I am in such a bind.
I...
can't even make a call
because I don't have a name.
But those two...
I...
can't even make a call
because I don't have a name.
But those two...
Why is it so dark in here?
What are you doing?
Are you still here?
Get out, both of you.
What's wrong with him? Is something wrong?
His face says it's about a woman.
How? Why? Where?
This must be her number.
Look at the kiss mark.
Give that back when I'm being polite.
Did you kiss the mark here or not?
Be very honest.
You need to come with me.
We aren't going anywhere pleasant.
- Uncle...
- The phone's ringing.
- Don't call her.
- Why did you get her number then?
To pretend to be human.
In case I get to call her one day.
- That day is today.
- Hello?
Talk like a human. Go on.
SUNNY NOT SEON-HUI
Hello, I am...
No, that sounds terrible.
Should I be gruff?
What? Don't you know my voice?
I'm very hard to forget...
That sounds bad.
Hello? Oh, gosh, hello.
- Hello?
- The third one.
- Hello?
- Were you listening all along?
- Why aren't you frozen?
- Aren't I just amazing?
Take the call.
I can do this, too.
Melt.
- What's this?
- Eat up.
Freeze.
Hello?
Hello?
You do know how to make a call.
I thought you couldn't,
or that you'd broken your fingers.
I see.
I learned how to.
My fingers aren't broken.
Thanks for your concern.
So you still have my number.
Yes. Your number is fine.
I was waiting for you to call.
I see.
Shouldn't you say something after "I see"?
Don't you have something to say?
- Like what?
- Something like, "When are you free
during the morning, afternoon,
or evening?"
When are you free during the morning,
afternoon, or evening?
I prefer to meet in the morning
and part in the evening.
I must seem human, so I'll walk.
Get in.
No human can walk all the way to Incheon.
Your boyfriend's right here!
- Where? I don't see him!
- Right here in front of you! Me!
You startled me...
I was feeling thirsty.
I was...
I have to go to work.
Eun-tak.
Yes?
What?
You just called me.
- I did?
- Yes.
- Why?
- That's what I want to know.
Because I feel awkward.
I do too.
Should I...
say that I'm hungry as always?
Do that.
Then I'll ask...
if you want steak as always.
I'll go get my coat.
You should go get dressed.
I'm all ready. Let's go.
This is my second visit.
At this rate, I'll become a regular here.
That's where we sat last time.
I know. It's not like
I've been abroad before.
Why would you go there now
when you're just about to turn 30?
When I was 29,
I barely went to the supermarket.
- Are you serious?
- Yes, I didn't have any appointments.
I've been travelling around
just fine for someone
who's never been abroad before.
I rarely get lost and I never miss a meal.
Now, I'm going to
have a big chunk of steak.
I'm at a nice restaurant with a guy.
It's the guy that should be nice,
not the restaurant.
I have to go. I'm sleepy.
Okay. Have a good night.
Sir, over here.
At the age of 29,
you're still shining.
But I'm not...
by your side.
My life of eternity...
has finally come to an end.
After my death,
you are still sitting here.
You've forgotten me...
and your life is perfectly complete
with me gone.
I have to disappear.
For you, who is smiling so brightly.
It's the decision I have to make.
I have to end my life.
I guess in the end,
that's the decision I made.
He's still handsome
and still strange.
I know he's strange,
but when I see his face,
I forget everything.
You're not supposed to
press down on my head that hard.
You're supposed to brush it gently.
Can you...
make me prettier now?
Okay.
Don't suffer anymore.
You've suffered enough.
I left the house deed in your room.
This is really your house now.
Have a long and happy life.
And I have a favor to ask.
Once I disappear,
so will the mark on her neck.
When that happens,
erase her memory,
so she doesn't blame herself.
