(All people, organizations, locations, and incidents...)
(in this drama are fictitious.)
(The Afterlife)
What is this place?
It is called "The Afterlife."
The dead are brought here to be judged.
Absolute truth and reason reign supreme here.
The Afterlife has a strict balance.
But Mr. Woo.
You are threatening that balance.
That is why my deity wishes to see you.
I am ruining the balance? And not The Evil One?
The Evil One is not your only enemy.
(The Heavenly Idol)
(Episode 8)
Her Majesty enters!
Your Majesty, I brought him to you, as commanded.
Are you a deity here?
Watch your tone.
Please help me meet Lord Redrin.
You have no shame for one who caused such chaos.
Why should I do that?
Would it not be better for you if I were to return to my world?
I must meet Lord Redrin if I am to go back.
You have no idea what you are caught up in.
What do you mean?
- You must die.
- It's on you.
- It's all because of you.
- You did it.
How strange.
Why do you hate yourself so much?
Oh, because of Liz Ri?
You're more foolish than you look.
Why hate yourself? There are so many others to hate.
Is there no one you want to kill?
Tell me. I'll kill them all for you.
Where are you going?
Come back here.
The situation is not...
as simple as you think.
Ever since you came here,
there has been much chaos.
Returning to where you came from will not solve the problem.
That is why...
I need you to help me.
- Me?
- First of all,
five goblins appeared in your world.
Long ago, someone stole a brush, one of our holy relics,
and that brush has the power to turn humans into goblins.
I believe someone used it to create goblins.
I would think there was a contract of some sort.
In return for giving them what they wanted,
the person took their soul and turned them into goblins.
Inspector Gam Jae looked into it,
and those goblins are in the entertainment industry.
I need you to find them and annul the contract.
If I do that, will you help me meet Lord Redrin?
There's is one more thing.
A strange group of people appeared in your world.
They manipulate human lifespans at will,
and that is harming our order.
I was told it was the work of that religious sect.
They go by the name "Hongwoodaedae."
Infiltrate the sect...
and bring me Hongwoodaedae's Master who is ruining order.
Do that, and then tell me what you want.
I will grant it then.
Hongwoodaedae serves Lord Redrin.
They would not cause chaos.
- You must be mistaken.
- "Mistaken?"
My goodness.
Have you ever seen a deity be mistaken?
Have you?
You are the one who is mistaken.
Do you think Redrin is as good as you believe?
Do not insult Lord Redrin!
Do not go too far.
You are to act with respect.
Inspector, you may excuse us.
If what you want is to meet Redrin,
do the two tasks I gave you.
Then I will let you see Redrin.
What?
Do you suspect me?
Do you think I lack the power to do so?
Oh, my goodness.
A deity...
is a creator that rules over one world,
but is also a gatekeeper to the boundary between realms.
Enter this gate, and you will meet Redrin.
Fulfill my wish, and I will help you meet Redrin.
What do you say?
The person you have reached is unavailable. Leave a message...
Darn it.
So did Yeon Woo drive or not?
How come he's all quiet? It's making me anxious.
What?
I told you to crash into a streetlamp and never come back.
Tell me everything you know about the Evil One.
Why are you suddenly asking me this?
Why didn't you do as I said?
I will not be asking you nicely after this.
Where is the Evil One now?
You little...
Who are you to order me around?
The Grim Reaper.
Don't come closer.
Stay away!
Why are you doing this to me?
I did nothing wrong.
Please don't take me yet.
I'm only 26...
I'm sorry.
I apologize.
I'm sorry. I want to live long.
This interrogation technique is very useful.
I should learn how to do this. It's so useful.
Who is the Evil One? Answer honestly.
The Evil One...
The Evil One is...
The vice chairman...
of RU Entertainment.
The orders all came from him.
It wasn't me. Please believe me.
- Please spare me.
- Do you know who that is?
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry that I pushed Jung Hyun down the stairs.
I wanted to apologize to him,
so I kept his number.
After debuting in his place,
I felt so miserable.
If you spare me, I will apologize to Jung Hyun.
Please spare me.
He pushed someone down the stairs just to make his debut?
Oh Jung Sin, this fool.
Even if he is a jerk,
he should be given a chance to repent.
You said all would be resolved once we found out who the Evil One was.
Yes, that is correct.
We managed to find out his identity in this realm,
but we cannot just visit him.
He is very powerful and dangerous.
We must figure out a way to approach him.
What is the matter?
RU Entertainment.
I've heard of them.
They said they had to do a presentation...
at RU Entertainment tonight.
I heard the vice chairman would be there too. So Ms. Kim Dal...
We must go there now.
Don't let go of my hand.
I've never met a human like you.
What can I do to use her?
Get away from her at once.
You'd better not do that.
If you're curious to see what will happen, go for it.
Don't.
He could hurt Dal now.
Why now of all times?
I told you...
that I had the perfect ending for you in mind.
I was planning for it!
Let's start over.
I really wasn't planning to kill you here.
You can lose a leg, right?
You can use your divine powers to glue it back together!
You are the Evil One who has been wreaking havoc in this realm.
Do not waste your energy.
This rope can capture even the most vindictive spirits.
Accept your defeat and surrender.
Gam Jae!
I summoned some reapers.
They will keep her safe in our stead.
To tell you the truth,
I didn't know the Evil One would be that strong.
We should not visit him when we're not prepared.
We should head back. It's been too long.
If the production team finds out that we're gone,
they'll suspect us.
I think he likes her.
The Pontifex.
He likes that girl.
Please spare me. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I apologize. Please spare me!
Darn it. What kind of nightmare was that?
My chest hurts.
- Good morning!
- Come on.
Did you have breakfast?
Hey, did something happen? Why is everyone leaving?
Go inside and pack your things at once.
Why? What's going on?
Hey, why didn't you tell me?
If you needed someone to vent to, why didn't you tell me?
It's not like I'd scold you.
I won't ditch you...
just because the rumor from your trainee days was actually true.
From my trainee days?
What are you talking about?
You don't remember?
You called Jung Hyun yesterday.
He uploaded a post on the Internet.
Now, everyone knows that he got hurt because of you.
Even if he is a jerk,
he should be given a chance to repent.
You said all would be resolved once we found out who the Evil One was.
Yes, that is correct.
But before that...
Confess your sins and ask for forgiveness.
Jung Hyun.
I'm the one who pushed you down the stairs.
I'm so sorry.
That's how badly I wanted to debut.
I'm so sorry. Please forgive me.
(Kwon Jung Hyun)
That's not possible.
Yes, sir.
- We were just about to leave.
- What's taking you so long?
The temple will be crawling with reporters any minute!
I'm sorry, sir. We'll head back right away.
Does Jung Sin know?
Is he aware of what he has done?
The advertisers have seen the victim's post...
and is threatening to terminate his contract.
There might even be a police investigation!
- I bet you did this, you freak.
- What are you doing?
You called him, you piece of scum!
- Jung Sin, stop it.
- Let go of me!
Woo Yeon Woo, you did this. Didn't you, you freak?
I'm going to kill you.
I'm coming for you, you freak!
I should see how Dal is doing.
- Are you here to work?
- Yes.
After the danger you were in last night?
Are you sure you can be at work?
I was fine when I woke up this morning,
so I came to work since this is my job.
How are you feeling? Are you all right?
Do you feel funny or do you have a headache?
I said I was fine.
Anyway, I need to get ready for the meeting.
What fine weather...
we have.
Dal?
Dal!
Where are you headed?
- I'd rather not go to work.
- What?
The weather's too nice.
I'd rather not work.
You are also someone who does not like to work.
No one works for fun, you know.
We only do so since we can't die.
I'd rather not work and go home instead.
Sure. Call the office to request a day off...
and go home to get some rest.
Sure.
What are you doing?
For a second there, I was spacing out.
I didn't want to go to work, and I wanted to procrastinate.
I became the laziest person.
- What's wrong with me?
- It must be black magic.
Black magic brings out one's ugliest side.
In your case, it seemed quite odd.
Black magic? What on earth is that?
What kind of spell makes people lazy?
There's no time for this, though.
How do I get rid of it?
You must be healed of the black magic.
Really?
Do it right now.
Are you done?
No.
I cannot heal you of this black magic.
What? Why not?
The reason is lost on me.
What kind of black magic is this?
That sounds like a good excuse to take the day off.
Get a grip on yourself.
Slapping yourself will not heal you of the black magic.
Stop hurting yourself and get some rest at home.
No. This is about having a strong mindset.
Black magic will not bring me down.
I'll crush it with my mental strength.
I'm getting off.
How's Dal?
Black magic runs through her,
but it is not harmful.
Those affected by it turn evil,
but Dal...
- It is different with her.
- I'm glad.
Have you thought of a way to find the goblins?
The group will be on a music show this week,
so I will be looking for them there.
Do they have specific characteristics?
They will look like humans...
which will make them indistinguishable.
But goblins have icy-cold bodies...
and will smell gamy.
- Gamy?
- Do you play video games too?
Goodness, I forgot.
I should've picked you up, Hae Gyeol.
It's fine. I managed to reach the top level...
on my way over here.
You sure tread lightly.
I did not hear you approach us.
I don't have much presence, that's why.
Besides, it's not like anyone recognizes me.
I'll head in first, then.
Could he have heard us?
How would I know when I did not hear him approach us?
I knew he was approaching us.
- Are you bragging?
- Yes, I am.
Hello.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Wait. Who on earth are they?
They're Evil Boys.
Their debut single topped the charts upon its release.
They're really good-looking.
- Hello.
- He's...
He's odd, isn't he?
Hello.
Hello.
A gamy smell.
Hold on. We're the only ones they didn't greet?
- They'll hear you.
- That was meant to be heard.
Don't mind them and get going.
I definitely sensed a goblin earlier on,
but not being able to identify it is the issue.
It is not like I can check each one.
Meanwhile, I need to promote our new single.
How exhausting.
Where is Hae Gyeol?
Hae Gyeol's in the back. Or maybe he isn't.
Kasy, where's Hae Gyeol?
What are you asking me for? You were the last to get in.
We must have left without him.
Let us go back.
Are you kidding me?
He'll find his way. He's not a baby.
But still...
Check behind you. Go on.
How could he be back here?
Gam Jae, why don't you call him?
I do not know his number.
Hello?
When did you... How did you get here?
- I took the bus.
- See? I told you so.
He's back.
But...
Where did he go?
Where is he?
Yeon Woo.
How did you know I was here?
I looked where I could.
You seemed glum back at "Music Music."
Did I seem that way?
How fascinating.
Not many notice that.
It's just that I felt like justice didn't exist in this world.
What do you mean by that?
You saw Evil Boys, the group with this week's number one song.
I went to high school with one of the members.
He used to harass kids and take their money.
It burns to see him be a success.
He was not a nice person.
Exactly.
I thought he'd at least recognize me,
but he walked right past me.
As if I didn't exist in his memories.
He does not remember you...
even though you went to the same high school?
Yeon Woo, why are you this interested in me?
You've never cared this much.
To suddenly have your attention...
It feels awkward.
No one cares about me, you see.
There's no need to pity me.
I should be the one to take care of myself.
I don't have any presence, and I'm hardly popular.
I don't think I'm any good to the group.
Guess what?
My wish...
is to be filmed by a close-up fancam.
You were never the focus?
Come on, you must have been once.
I don't even hope for that now.
I just don't want to be a nuisance.
I'm still here only because I'm not a nuisance.
Yeon Woo.
Do you mind leaving me alone?
Oh, okay.
Thanks.
He acted like he did not remember him?
Why do you suddenly want to know about Evil Boys?
I must get close to them to find out something.
Let's talk after the meeting. I'm busy.
I heard there were goblins among the idols.
Someone promised to let me meet Lord Redrin...
if I helped catch them.
I think Evil Boys could be those goblins.
- Goblins?
- I felt bad...
that I got you involved in something so dangerous.
So I found a way to return as soon as possible.
Can you find me a way to approach Evil Boys?
Dal, the black magic!
You do not want to think.
No. I'm in complete control of that magic.
I have a lot on my mind. Let's talk after the meeting.
Okay?
- Hello.
- Hi, Dal.
Sorry, I'm late.
Yeon Woo, you too?
We got the costume designs?
- Did you have a look?
- Let's do that together.
- Okay.
- Okay?
This is what they sent.
This is the first design.
The second one.
The third,
and fourth.
- That's it.
- I see...
They're mostly suits.
Yes. They're going for the modern male gumiho,
and this is it.
Instead of going with a full suit,
how about we mix and match with hanbok?
If they were to wear a robe and swish it around,
wouldn't that look nice?
Hanbok?
Pretend that the cardigan...
Yeon Woo's wearing now is a gentleman's robe.
Then...
- Wouldn't that be so cool?
- What?
- What?
- Wouldn't he look like...
a crown prince that took control with his looks?
What if the country's flipped upside-down?
Yeon Woo in hanbok...
would make my patriotism fly high.
You are making such a fuss.
- Snap out of it.
- No, but seriously,
I think it will cause an uproar.
Well, a full-on suit would be nice too...
No. There's a wall forming between us.
A wall of perfection.
Idols must look human too.
They can't look too out of this world.
Wait. Dal!
That hurts.
You said you were in control.
Is this you being in control?
What did I do?
Evil thoughts came over you,
and you embarrassed me.
You said you had no feelings for me. Was that a lie?
It's the magic talking. It's not really me.
I know you're a cleric, so I don't care for you.
If only you weren't,
I'd fling you over my shoulder and go.
Fling whom over your shoulder?
Dal, how do you really feel?
I'm...
I'm not like this because I want to be.
Fix me, then.
But that is...
I think you are the problem.
You are clinging to the black magic.
I'm clinging to it? What does that mean?
It is hard to explain, but I think that is what it is.
I will fix you,
but first, find a way for me to approach Evil Boys.
Fast.
The crew of "Battle Love" asked if you were available.
The Evil Boys' leader will be on too.
Say yes.
You can't appear on just any show you want.
I'll ask Ms. Im.
Okay.
- Don't regret it.
- "Regret?"
What is "Battle Love" about?
It's about dating.
"Dating?"
Ms. Im.
The "Battle Love" team contacted us.
- Yeon Woo wants to do it.
- Dal.
- Dal.
- Yes.
I think you are the problem.
You are clinging to the black magic.
There's something wrong with me?
I'm clinging to something?
Where is the goblin?
It disappeared.
It was definitely here, harming a human.
The body is gone too.
Someone got rid of it.
The goblin is not on its own.
It is with a group that cleans up.
There are beings that help hide them?
Who would do such a thing?
It would be...
those who signed the contract with them.
Those who need it to be fulfilled...
so they can get what they want.
Tell Maeng Woo Sin.
The deity commands he appear on "Battle Love."
There, he will meet someone special...
he must help.
Yes, I understand.
What's this? Who put this on?
Why are you watching something so boring?
They're so ugly.
They call that a face?
Who's the guy on the left?
He's not just ugly, but he looks weird.
Look at the guy at the end.
You know "Battle Love" starts shooting tomorrow, right?
Oh, right.
Don't you dare go out tonight.
Okay?
Fine.
Okay.
Goblins enjoy punishing and tormenting humans.
They always crave blood and flesh.
Stab them with the peach wood dagger I gave you.
It will tell you if they are a goblin or not.
What are you doing?
What do you want?
Let's go on a date.
Okay. We should go.
Hello.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- See you later.
- Sure.
What are you doing?
That is odd. Why did you not change?
You are a goblin.
You enjoy tormenting others and crave blood and flesh.
- I'm a vegan.
- "Vegan?"
Is that your goblin name?
Vegan goblin.
- Vegan goblin. You are a goblin.
- What are you doing?
You can't pick on other people.
Let go. He is a goblin.
- You vegan goblin.
- I'm so sorry.
I must kill the vegan goblin.
Come with me.
I must catch the goblin.
Where is Gam Jae? I found the goblin.
- What are you on about?
- He is a vegan goblin.
Where'd you get that from?
Everyone's raving about your appearance, Woo Sin.
How does it feel to be on "Battle Love?"
I'd always...
been interested in this show.
And I finally got the opportunity to come on.
With all the other people here...
I'd like to fight...
I mean, battle with them and have fun.
Raken from Evil Boys.
- This is your first variety show.
- Yes.
What do you think women find charming about you?
Well...
My existence in and of itself?
I'm impressed by your confidence.
I didn't want to say "my good looks" because that's too predictable.
Besides, this one here made his team popular with his face alone.
Yeon Woo, what is your philosophy on romantic relationships?
I believe they should be healthy and wholesome.
"Healthy and wholesome?"
Right, that makes sense.
Then what is your type?
Who is that?
Guan Yu.
He looks brave. I like him.
Make me look like him.
I like Guan Yu.
- Guan Yu?
- Yes, with the long beard.
Guan Yu from "The Records of the Three Kingdoms?"
- Yes, with the long beard.
- Well understood.
Raken, what is your type?
Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun?
You guys like such brave, strong men.
- He is a goblin.
- That's it for the interview.
Thanks, everyone.
Thank you.
- Who are you?
- The one who will grant your wish.
It's okay.
This time, we will succeed.
All right. Let's get ready quickly.
Just do what you always do.
- Hey, are you ready?
- Yes!
I'll hit the slate. In 1, 2.
("Battle Love")
Cue!
- Hello.
- Hello.
Ye Jin sent me here.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
Yes, hello.
- What is your name?
- Kim Min Seo.
- Did you come straight from work?
- Yes.
- What do you do?
- Take a guess.
Well... Are you a designer?
- Do I look like a designer?
- You're stylish.
I see.
You pull out your own hair, don't you?
Yes. Hold on. How did you know?
The length is different on each side.
It's hard to quit that habit, isn't it?
Yes.
For me, it's my nails.
I see.
- Don't bite your nails.
- I know.
- How old are you?
- I really...
- can't do that.
- Take a guess.
Then I should just...
I'd say you're either my age or a year older?
Raken.
Is there something you want?
Something you'd sell your soul for.
Of course, he won't answer my question.
Oh, Mr. Maeng Woo Sin!
You have been keeping a close watch on me, right?
Don't talk to me.
Do you not have any questions for me?
No, I do not. I will let you two talk.
Feel free to ask me any questions.
You asked him what he wanted the most.
You can ask me that too.
You can also ask me about my ideal type, my blood type,
whether I have a dog, and if I lived alone.
- Stuff like that.
- Sure.
Do you have a religion?
- I'm an atheist.
- An atheist?
What does that religion believe?
It means she disbelieves in the existence of deities.
How old are you?
- Oh, I am...
- Could you pass me the pineapple?
Oh, this is mine.
After the first date, Min Seo, the heroine,
left a present in the locker of the battlers she likes.
Battlers, check your locker now.
The heroine chose...
Woo Sin, Raken, and Yeon Woo.
The heroine asked Woo Sin out...
on a second date.
("Hanamaru Kindergarten")
I'll let you kiss me.
Please wake up.
- Hey, Hae Gyeol.
- Yes?
Take the packages inside if you have nothing to do.
Sure.
This one is for Yeon Woo.
This too.
It's for Yeon Woo.
(To Wild Animal's Tae In)
(To Wild Animal's Tae In)
(To Wild Animal's Jeong Seo)
(To Wild Animal)
Wait.
(To Wild Animal)
Is this for me?
(Hae Gyeol)
(Solution for a clogged toilet, solution for a leaky ceiling)
(What your dog's eyes tell you, 10 best dessert shops)
Have you given up on taming the black magic?
I am working on it. It's just not easy.
Why did you call me here?
I should get ready for Round Two of "Battle Love."
What? So you need my help?
- But I have no experience.
- What do you mean?
I've never dated anyone.
But you are 29 years old.
What have you been doing?
Dal, but why...
I do not understand.
(Liz Ri, I want to hear your voice again.)
(Many fans are still waiting for you, Liz Ri.)
(I'm a foreigner. Your voice gave me hope.)
Did you make it for Liz Ri?
Then go give it to her.
Why are you holding onto it?
I will give it to her...
when I'm ready.
First, we should get you ready for your date.
I don't want to do it, though.
A cleric should not go on a date. Am I wrong?
Right now, we have no choice.
That's not true.
Then why can't I goof around?
That is...
That will confuse both of us. That is why.
But a cleric should not be confused, right?
Visiting me,
looking out for me,
risking your life to save me. Stuff like that too.
You should not do any of that.
Of course, I'd develop feelings...
for the person who saved me. It's only natural.
But the last time,
you clearly said that you had no feelings for me.
Dal, tell me how you truly feel.
I hope you can stay here.
I don't want you to go back.
What would I do if I stayed here?
If I stayed...
What could I do with you?
Guys!
Where is Hae Gyeol?
Do you know where he is?
Have you been able to get in touch with Hae Gyeol?
No, I tried his cell on my way here, but he isn't picking up.
What is this about?
Look.
(Letter of Resignation)
What the...
Name, Cha Hyun Kyu.
I'm sorry for not being a worthy member of the group.
This is nasty.
These darn...
I can't believe someone did this.
Check this out.
He was an errand boy in high school who got beaten every day.
You saw Evil Boys, the group with this week's number one song.
I went to high school with one of the members.
He used to harass kids and take their money.
It burns to see him be a success.
I thought he'd at least recognize me,
but he walked right past me.
As if I didn't exist in his memories.
The member of Evil Boys. The one he bullied...
was Hae Gyeol.
What? Who bullied whom?
Is Hae Gyeol really leaving us?
As if.
Wasn't he home?
No, and his clothes were gone.
He packed up and left?
He has never acted this way before,
so what got into him?
He's not like Kasy who loves his outings.
His dream is to be the focus of a close-up fancam.
All right. Call his parents...
and all his friends.
Look for him at the places he frequents.
But Hae Gyeol usually stays home,
and we haven't seen him go anywhere.
Could he have gone to the Han River?
- Han River!
- Don't be absurd.
Do not worry us like that.
Cut the ominous remarks,
and go look for him.
Hurry.
Go on.
I'm sorry.
I can't find him.
Was he not at the Internet cafe?
Should we report him missing?
There's no time for this. We should go to the bridge...
I'll contact Hae Gyeol's parents.
He could've gone to Haenam.
Right.
Yeon Woo, you should head back home.
You're filming a show tomorrow.
We should keep looking for him.
Were they not able to find Hae Gyeol?
Not yet.
I am worried that he will have negative thoughts.
Gam Jae, could you look for him?
His disappearance has nothing to do with goblins and the Hongwoodaedae.
You heartless being.
Think more about what is important to you.
Isn't it your goal to find your way back to your realm?
Turn the car around.
I must stop by someplace.
I am not in the U-turn lane.
I will do so up ahead.
That is not what I meant.
I'm sure you're aware...
that people are still besmirching you...
and are hoping for your demise.
There's no other way to end it.
It will only end with your death.
I apologize for my tardiness.
It's all right. Take a seat and catch your breath.
Yeon Woo, is something going on?
Well,
a member of the group suddenly disappeared.
What? My gosh. Were you able to find him?
Not yet.
Just a second.
Goodness. Where did you get this delicacy?
We had it prepared just for you.
We'll have them readied for you.
It would be nice to share them with Hae Gyeol.
It smells incredible.
Would you happen to know...
where male youngsters frequent these days?
I'm afraid it's not something I know.
The member that ran away is a quiet one,
and not being able to read him is frustrating.
I was not that way when I was his age.
It's hard to read the minds of youngsters these days.
I consult those who seek jobs,
and youngsters these days have unique experiences.
Unique experiences?
That's right.
Recently, I took on a client who used to be...
in the entertainment industry.
I think he said he was a boy band trainee.
Or maybe he actually debuted.
What was his name?
Cha...
Cha Hyun Kyu?
It was Cha Hyun Kyu. Why do you ask?
Cha Hyun Kyu?
(Letter of Resignation, Name: Cha Hyun Kyu)
Cha Hyun Kyu?
Where is your workplace?
My workplace?
Yes, we must go there immediately.
Right now?
Let us go together.
- Hae Gyeol.
- Get him!
You!
Hey.
- This is where you were.
- Where were you?
We looked for you everywhere.
Why would you want to get a new job?
How did you know I was here?
That is not important. Let us go home.
I'll explain everything some other time.
But for now, please go away. I'm sorry.
You must come with us.
It was your dream to be the focus of a fancam.
All these cameras are on you.
Your dream will soon come true.
This isn't what I wanted, Yeon Woo.
This isn't why I quit.
I'm really sorry about this, but can't you leave?
We know that he bullied you in school.
I will teach him a lesson when we cross paths again.
There's no need for that. I'm not worth it.
- Your finger!
- What?
- Are you hurt?
- Are you injured?
- What?
- Your sweet little thumb.
You should've been more careful! Let me see.
This isn't the issue. Take me seriously, will you?
Let's go to the doctor. How about the ER?
Why would he need a doctor when he has me?
What do you think you're doing?
Why are you worried about me over nothing?
I'm such a nuisance.
You can be a nuisance all you want.
We will still not abandon you.
It...
It hurt.
And I was scared.
- I was scared.
- You were scared and hurt?
Why are you crying?
Run away like this again, and I'll kill you myself.
- Cry all you want.
- Let it out.
It's all right.
What are you looking at?
After the second date,
the contestant that the heroine showed the most affection toward...
is Woo Yeon Woo.
She must like you a great deal.
You have to tell her how you feel during the third date.
Are you prepared?
- No.
- I knew it.
It's why I did your work for you.
You might actually win her over.
By the way...
It's about what I said in the conference room.
I must've been under the influence of the black magic.
It's what led me to say all those things.
Being tired had me babbling.
You get it, right?
Sure.
That's why I need you to fix me soon.
So that this stops happening. Okay?
I see why you have never dated before.
What? Hey, you!
Darn you.
Ta-da.
Isn't it pretty?
If you confess your love here,
wouldn't she say yes 90 percent of the time?
Yes.
Now you have to come up with something to say.
I haven't dated anyone,
but I've been asked out a lot.
But none of the guys said anything that stuck in my memory.
What would you want the man to say?
Me? I don't know.
It's best to be honest.
Put it simply. Say you like her.
What is it?
I really wish you'd fix me soon.
Don't you get it?
Do you know why I cannot free you from the black magic?
How would I know?
What's my problem?
Is it that I'm too lazy?
You cannot forgive yourself.
- What?
- You cannot forgive,
and you blame and hate yourself.
How is that a problem?
I know what's wrong with me.
My problem is I don't face my problem.
Even after Liz Ri woke up,
I was unable to visit her, and that's my problem.
I'm shameless and cowardly.
I'm stupid and that's my problem.
How could you be cured when you hate yourself so?
It is bad to spite others,
but it is also bad to hate yourself.
How can I forgive myself?
Forgiving myself when Liz Ri hasn't...
That's just shameful.
Liz Ri has forgiven you.
(Audio files)
Ms. Kim, I put you through a lot, didn't I?
I never resented you.
Liz Ri!
You are Liz Ri, right?
Who are you?
Can you please come over here?
So we can talk somewhere safe.
Wait.
Will you take a look at this?
It is a gift from Kim Dal.
Kim...
Ms. Kim?
(Liz Ri, I want to hear your voice again.)
(Many fans are still waiting for you, Liz Ri.)
(I wish you happiness. Don't have bad thoughts.)
(You're taking a break, right? We're waiting for you.)
This is...
a letter Kim Dal wrote to you.
I found it between the pages.
I'm so sorry for visiting so late.
Whenever I thought of you,
I felt sad and my heart ached.
I'd made a dreadful decision,
and I didn't notice your condition.
I apologize.
But,
though there are lots of bad people,
there are lots of good people too.
Enough that you could be surrounded with them forever.
If you want,
you can face only the people who like,
support, and adore you.
That's how I want you to live.
I'm not sure if I have the right to say this,
and this might even sound selfish,
but I sincerely hope...
you can move on and live happily.
If you'll let me,
I'll help you.
She forgave me?
That's a lie.
She already forgave you.
Perhaps...
she felt forced to say she forgave me.
She might not have meant it.
She said it, so believe it.
You told her to look at only the good things.
Why can you not do the same?
Because I'm...
Good things you should say to yourself, you say to others,
and to yourself, you are so unforgiving.
You act like you are so smart,
but you see yourself with hatred.
Even if she forgives me,
that won't erase the pain and hurt.
How could I like myself...
when I'm the cause of what happened?
That was not your fault, either.
Someone else wronged her.
My poor decision caused her to be ridiculed.
No one would've hated her if it hadn't been for me.
You did what you thought was best for her.
Were you not the one who wanted her to do well more than anyone?
But still...
Still, it was all my fault.
It happened because I was stupid.
I'm stupid. I'm pathetic. I'm trash.
I want to die. I must die. I have to die.
Look. You are being so stubborn.
No.
I'm just...
I don't think it was the magic.
It wasn't the magic.
I must like you.
(The Heavenly Idol)
(Special thanks to Jang Yeong Nam and Kim So Hee.)
I must calm my heart.
Why did you do that? Why?
A scandal about you two?
Do not apologize.
Woo Yeon Woo, you fool!
- You killed her!
- How dare you?
Dal.
Take one more step, and they all die.
What are you up to?
If I cannot save them,
what good am I?
I don't want your death to be beautiful.

(The Afterlife)
What is this place?
It is called "The Afterlife."
The dead are brought here to be judged.
Absolute truth and reason reign supreme here.
The Afterlife has a strict balance.
But Mr. Woo.
You are threatening that balance.
That is why my deity wishes to see you.
I am ruining the balance? And not The Evil One?
The Evil One is not your only enemy.
(The Heavenly Idol)
(Episode 8)
Her Majesty enters!
Your Majesty, I brought him to you, as commanded.
Are you a deity here?
Watch your tone.
Please help me meet Lord Redrin.
You have no shame for one who caused such chaos.
Why should I do that?
Would it not be better for you if I were to return to my world?
I must meet Lord Redrin if I am to go back.
You have no idea what you are caught up in.
What do you mean?
- You must die.
- It's on you.
- It's all because of you.
- You did it.
How strange.
Why do you hate yourself so much?
Oh, because of Liz Ri?
You're more foolish than you look.
Why hate yourself? There are so many others to hate.
Is there no one you want to kill?
Tell me. I'll kill them all for you.
Where are you going?
Come back here.
The situation is not...
as simple as you think.
Ever since you came here,
there has been much chaos.
Returning to where you came from will not solve the problem.
That is why...
I need you to help me.
- Me?
- First of all,
five goblins appeared in your world.
Long ago, someone stole a brush, one of our holy relics,
and that brush has the power to turn humans into goblins.
I believe someone used it to create goblins.
I would think there was a contract of some sort.
In return for giving them what they wanted,
the person took their soul and turned them into goblins.
Inspector Gam Jae looked into it,
and those goblins are in the entertainment industry.
I need you to find them and annul the contract.
If I do that, will you help me meet Lord Redrin?
There's is one more thing.
A strange group of people appeared in your world.
They manipulate human lifespans at will,
and that is harming our order.
I was told it was the work of that religious sect.
They go by the name "Hongwoodaedae."
Infiltrate the sect...
and bring me Hongwoodaedae's Master who is ruining order.
Do that, and then tell me what you want.
I will grant it then.
Hongwoodaedae serves Lord Redrin.
They would not cause chaos.
- You must be mistaken.
- "Mistaken?"
My goodness.
Have you ever seen a deity be mistaken?
Have you?
You are the one who is mistaken.
Do you think Redrin is as good as you believe?
Do not insult Lord Redrin!
Do not go too far.
You are to act with respect.
Inspector, you may excuse us.
If what you want is to meet Redrin,
do the two tasks I gave you.
Then I will let you see Redrin.
What?
Do you suspect me?
Do you think I lack the power to do so?
Oh, my goodness.
A deity...
is a creator that rules over one world,
but is also a gatekeeper to the boundary between realms.
Enter this gate, and you will meet Redrin.
Fulfill my wish, and I will help you meet Redrin.
What do you say?
The person you have reached is unavailable. Leave a message...
Darn it.
So did Yeon Woo drive or not?
How come he's all quiet? It's making me anxious.
What?
I told you to crash into a streetlamp and never come back.
Tell me everything you know about the Evil One.
Why are you suddenly asking me this?
Why didn't you do as I said?
I will not be asking you nicely after this.
Where is the Evil One now?
You little...
Who are you to order me around?
The Grim Reaper.
Don't come closer.
Stay away!
Why are you doing this to me?
I did nothing wrong.
Please don't take me yet.
I'm only 26...
I'm sorry.
I apologize.
I'm sorry. I want to live long.
This interrogation technique is very useful.
I should learn how to do this. It's so useful.
Who is the Evil One? Answer honestly.
The Evil One...
The Evil One is...
The vice chairman...
of RU Entertainment.
The orders all came from him.
It wasn't me. Please believe me.
- Please spare me.
- Do you know who that is?
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry that I pushed Jung Hyun down the stairs.
I wanted to apologize to him,
so I kept his number.
After debuting in his place,
I felt so miserable.
If you spare me, I will apologize to Jung Hyun.
Please spare me.
He pushed someone down the stairs just to make his debut?
Oh Jung Sin, this fool.
Even if he is a jerk,
he should be given a chance to repent.
You said all would be resolved once we found out who the Evil One was.
Yes, that is correct.
We managed to find out his identity in this realm,
but we cannot just visit him.
He is very powerful and dangerous.
We must figure out a way to approach him.
What is the matter?
RU Entertainment.
I've heard of them.
They said they had to do a presentation...
at RU Entertainment tonight.
I heard the vice chairman would be there too. So Ms. Kim Dal...
We must go there now.
Don't let go of my hand.
I've never met a human like you.
What can I do to use her?
Get away from her at once.
You'd better not do that.
If you're curious to see what will happen, go for it.
Don't.
He could hurt Dal now.
Why now of all times?
I told you...
that I had the perfect ending for you in mind.
I was planning for it!
Let's start over.
I really wasn't planning to kill you here.
You can lose a leg, right?
You can use your divine powers to glue it back together!
You are the Evil One who has been wreaking havoc in this realm.
Do not waste your energy.
This rope can capture even the most vindictive spirits.
Accept your defeat and surrender.
Gam Jae!
I summoned some reapers.
They will keep her safe in our stead.
To tell you the truth,
I didn't know the Evil One would be that strong.
We should not visit him when we're not prepared.
We should head back. It's been too long.
If the production team finds out that we're gone,
they'll suspect us.
I think he likes her.
The Pontifex.
He likes that girl.
Please spare me. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I apologize. Please spare me!
Darn it. What kind of nightmare was that?
My chest hurts.
- Good morning!
- Come on.
Did you have breakfast?
Hey, did something happen? Why is everyone leaving?
Go inside and pack your things at once.
Why? What's going on?
Hey, why didn't you tell me?
If you needed someone to vent to, why didn't you tell me?
It's not like I'd scold you.
I won't ditch you...
just because the rumor from your trainee days was actually true.
From my trainee days?
What are you talking about?
You don't remember?
You called Jung Hyun yesterday.
He uploaded a post on the Internet.
Now, everyone knows that he got hurt because of you.
Even if he is a jerk,
he should be given a chance to repent.
You said all would be resolved once we found out who the Evil One was.
Yes, that is correct.
But before that...
Confess your sins and ask for forgiveness.
Jung Hyun.
I'm the one who pushed you down the stairs.
I'm so sorry.
That's how badly I wanted to debut.
I'm so sorry. Please forgive me.
(Kwon Jung Hyun)
That's not possible.
Yes, sir.
- We were just about to leave.
- What's taking you so long?
The temple will be crawling with reporters any minute!
I'm sorry, sir. We'll head back right away.
Does Jung Sin know?
Is he aware of what he has done?
The advertisers have seen the victim's post...
and is threatening to terminate his contract.
There might even be a police investigation!
- I bet you did this, you freak.
- What are you doing?
You called him, you piece of scum!
- Jung Sin, stop it.
- Let go of me!
Woo Yeon Woo, you did this. Didn't you, you freak?
I'm going to kill you.
I'm coming for you, you freak!
I should see how Dal is doing.
- Are you here to work?
- Yes.
After the danger you were in last night?
Are you sure you can be at work?
I was fine when I woke up this morning,
so I came to work since this is my job.
How are you feeling? Are you all right?
Do you feel funny or do you have a headache?
I said I was fine.
Anyway, I need to get ready for the meeting.
What fine weather...
we have.
Dal?
Dal!
Where are you headed?
- I'd rather not go to work.
- What?
The weather's too nice.
I'd rather not work.
You are also someone who does not like to work.
No one works for fun, you know.
We only do so since we can't die.
I'd rather not work and go home instead.
Sure. Call the office to request a day off...
and go home to get some rest.
Sure.
What are you doing?
For a second there, I was spacing out.
I didn't want to go to work, and I wanted to procrastinate.
I became the laziest person.
- What's wrong with me?
- It must be black magic.
Black magic brings out one's ugliest side.
In your case, it seemed quite odd.
Black magic? What on earth is that?
What kind of spell makes people lazy?
There's no time for this, though.
How do I get rid of it?
You must be healed of the black magic.
Really?
Do it right now.
Are you done?
No.
I cannot heal you of this black magic.
What? Why not?
The reason is lost on me.
What kind of black magic is this?
That sounds like a good excuse to take the day off.
Get a grip on yourself.
Slapping yourself will not heal you of the black magic.
Stop hurting yourself and get some rest at home.
No. This is about having a strong mindset.
Black magic will not bring me down.
I'll crush it with my mental strength.
I'm getting off.
How's Dal?
Black magic runs through her,
but it is not harmful.
Those affected by it turn evil,
but Dal...
- It is different with her.
- I'm glad.
Have you thought of a way to find the goblins?
The group will be on a music show this week,
so I will be looking for them there.
Do they have specific characteristics?
They will look like humans...
which will make them indistinguishable.
But goblins have icy-cold bodies...
and will smell gamy.
- Gamy?
- Do you play video games too?
Goodness, I forgot.
I should've picked you up, Hae Gyeol.
It's fine. I managed to reach the top level...
on my way over here.
You sure tread lightly.
I did not hear you approach us.
I don't have much presence, that's why.
Besides, it's not like anyone recognizes me.
I'll head in first, then.
Could he have heard us?
How would I know when I did not hear him approach us?
I knew he was approaching us.
- Are you bragging?
- Yes, I am.
Hello.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Wait. Who on earth are they?
They're Evil Boys.
Their debut single topped the charts upon its release.
They're really good-looking.
- Hello.
- He's...
He's odd, isn't he?
Hello.
Hello.
A gamy smell.
Hold on. We're the only ones they didn't greet?
- They'll hear you.
- That was meant to be heard.
Don't mind them and get going.
I definitely sensed a goblin earlier on,
but not being able to identify it is the issue.
It is not like I can check each one.
Meanwhile, I need to promote our new single.
How exhausting.
Where is Hae Gyeol?
Hae Gyeol's in the back. Or maybe he isn't.
Kasy, where's Hae Gyeol?
What are you asking me for? You were the last to get in.
We must have left without him.
Let us go back.
Are you kidding me?
He'll find his way. He's not a baby.
But still...
Check behind you. Go on.
How could he be back here?
Gam Jae, why don't you call him?
I do not know his number.
Hello?
When did you... How did you get here?
- I took the bus.
- See? I told you so.
He's back.
But...
Where did he go?
Where is he?
Yeon Woo.
How did you know I was here?
I looked where I could.
You seemed glum back at "Music Music."
Did I seem that way?
How fascinating.
Not many notice that.
It's just that I felt like justice didn't exist in this world.
What do you mean by that?
You saw Evil Boys, the group with this week's number one song.
I went to high school with one of the members.
He used to harass kids and take their money.
It burns to see him be a success.
He was not a nice person.
Exactly.
I thought he'd at least recognize me,
but he walked right past me.
As if I didn't exist in his memories.
He does not remember you...
even though you went to the same high school?
Yeon Woo, why are you this interested in me?
You've never cared this much.
To suddenly have your attention...
It feels awkward.
No one cares about me, you see.
There's no need to pity me.
I should be the one to take care of myself.
I don't have any presence, and I'm hardly popular.
I don't think I'm any good to the group.
Guess what?
My wish...
is to be filmed by a close-up fancam.
You were never the focus?
Come on, you must have been once.
I don't even hope for that now.
I just don't want to be a nuisance.
I'm still here only because I'm not a nuisance.
Yeon Woo.
Do you mind leaving me alone?
Oh, okay.
Thanks.
He acted like he did not remember him?
Why do you suddenly want to know about Evil Boys?
I must get close to them to find out something.
Let's talk after the meeting. I'm busy.
I heard there were goblins among the idols.
Someone promised to let me meet Lord Redrin...
if I helped catch them.
I think Evil Boys could be those goblins.
- Goblins?
- I felt bad...
that I got you involved in something so dangerous.
So I found a way to return as soon as possible.
Can you find me a way to approach Evil Boys?
Dal, the black magic!
You do not want to think.
No. I'm in complete control of that magic.
I have a lot on my mind. Let's talk after the meeting.
Okay?
- Hello.
- Hi, Dal.
Sorry, I'm late.
Yeon Woo, you too?
We got the costume designs?
- Did you have a look?
- Let's do that together.
- Okay.
- Okay?
This is what they sent.
This is the first design.
The second one.
The third,
and fourth.
- That's it.
- I see...
They're mostly suits.
Yes. They're going for the modern male gumiho,
and this is it.
Instead of going with a full suit,
how about we mix and match with hanbok?
If they were to wear a robe and swish it around,
wouldn't that look nice?
Hanbok?
Pretend that the cardigan...
Yeon Woo's wearing now is a gentleman's robe.
Then...
- Wouldn't that be so cool?
- What?
- What?
- Wouldn't he look like...
a crown prince that took control with his looks?
What if the country's flipped upside-down?
Yeon Woo in hanbok...
would make my patriotism fly high.
You are making such a fuss.
- Snap out of it.
- No, but seriously,
I think it will cause an uproar.
Well, a full-on suit would be nice too...
No. There's a wall forming between us.
A wall of perfection.
Idols must look human too.
They can't look too out of this world.
Wait. Dal!
That hurts.
You said you were in control.
Is this you being in control?
What did I do?
Evil thoughts came over you,
and you embarrassed me.
You said you had no feelings for me. Was that a lie?
It's the magic talking. It's not really me.
I know you're a cleric, so I don't care for you.
If only you weren't,
I'd fling you over my shoulder and go.
Fling whom over your shoulder?
Dal, how do you really feel?
I'm...
I'm not like this because I want to be.
Fix me, then.
But that is...
I think you are the problem.
You are clinging to the black magic.
I'm clinging to it? What does that mean?
It is hard to explain, but I think that is what it is.
I will fix you,
but first, find a way for me to approach Evil Boys.
Fast.
The crew of "Battle Love" asked if you were available.
The Evil Boys' leader will be on too.
Say yes.
You can't appear on just any show you want.
I'll ask Ms. Im.
Okay.
- Don't regret it.
- "Regret?"
What is "Battle Love" about?
It's about dating.
"Dating?"
Ms. Im.
The "Battle Love" team contacted us.
- Yeon Woo wants to do it.
- Dal.
- Dal.
- Yes.
I think you are the problem.
You are clinging to the black magic.
There's something wrong with me?
I'm clinging to something?
Where is the goblin?
It disappeared.
It was definitely here, harming a human.
The body is gone too.
Someone got rid of it.
The goblin is not on its own.
It is with a group that cleans up.
There are beings that help hide them?
Who would do such a thing?
It would be...
those who signed the contract with them.
Those who need it to be fulfilled...
so they can get what they want.
Tell Maeng Woo Sin.
The deity commands he appear on "Battle Love."
There, he will meet someone special...
he must help.
Yes, I understand.
What's this? Who put this on?
Why are you watching something so boring?
They're so ugly.
They call that a face?
Who's the guy on the left?
He's not just ugly, but he looks weird.
Look at the guy at the end.
You know "Battle Love" starts shooting tomorrow, right?
Oh, right.
Don't you dare go out tonight.
Okay?
Fine.
Okay.
Goblins enjoy punishing and tormenting humans.
They always crave blood and flesh.
Stab them with the peach wood dagger I gave you.
It will tell you if they are a goblin or not.
What are you doing?
What do you want?
Let's go on a date.
Okay. We should go.
Hello.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- See you later.
- Sure.
What are you doing?
That is odd. Why did you not change?
You are a goblin.
You enjoy tormenting others and crave blood and flesh.
- I'm a vegan.
- "Vegan?"
Is that your goblin name?
Vegan goblin.
- Vegan goblin. You are a goblin.
- What are you doing?
You can't pick on other people.
Let go. He is a goblin.
- You vegan goblin.
- I'm so sorry.
I must kill the vegan goblin.
Come with me.
I must catch the goblin.
Where is Gam Jae? I found the goblin.
- What are you on about?
- He is a vegan goblin.
Where'd you get that from?
Everyone's raving about your appearance, Woo Sin.
How does it feel to be on "Battle Love?"
I'd always...
been interested in this show.
And I finally got the opportunity to come on.
With all the other people here...
I'd like to fight...
I mean, battle with them and have fun.
Raken from Evil Boys.
- This is your first variety show.
- Yes.
What do you think women find charming about you?
Well...
My existence in and of itself?
I'm impressed by your confidence.
I didn't want to say "my good looks" because that's too predictable.
Besides, this one here made his team popular with his face alone.
Yeon Woo, what is your philosophy on romantic relationships?
I believe they should be healthy and wholesome.
"Healthy and wholesome?"
Right, that makes sense.
Then what is your type?
Who is that?
Guan Yu.
He looks brave. I like him.
Make me look like him.
I like Guan Yu.
- Guan Yu?
- Yes, with the long beard.
Guan Yu from "The Records of the Three Kingdoms?"
- Yes, with the long beard.
- Well understood.
Raken, what is your type?
Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun?
You guys like such brave, strong men.
- He is a goblin.
- That's it for the interview.
Thanks, everyone.
Thank you.
- Who are you?
- The one who will grant your wish.
It's okay.
This time, we will succeed.
All right. Let's get ready quickly.
Just do what you always do.
- Hey, are you ready?
- Yes!
I'll hit the slate. In 1, 2.
("Battle Love")
Cue!
- Hello.
- Hello.
Ye Jin sent me here.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
Yes, hello.
- What is your name?
- Kim Min Seo.
- Did you come straight from work?
- Yes.
- What do you do?
- Take a guess.
Well... Are you a designer?
- Do I look like a designer?
- You're stylish.
I see.
You pull out your own hair, don't you?
Yes. Hold on. How did you know?
The length is different on each side.
It's hard to quit that habit, isn't it?
Yes.
For me, it's my nails.
I see.
- Don't bite your nails.
- I know.
- How old are you?
- I really...
- can't do that.
- Take a guess.
Then I should just...
I'd say you're either my age or a year older?
Raken.
Is there something you want?
Something you'd sell your soul for.
Of course, he won't answer my question.
Oh, Mr. Maeng Woo Sin!
You have been keeping a close watch on me, right?
Don't talk to me.
Do you not have any questions for me?
No, I do not. I will let you two talk.
Feel free to ask me any questions.
You asked him what he wanted the most.
You can ask me that too.
You can also ask me about my ideal type, my blood type,
whether I have a dog, and if I lived alone.
- Stuff like that.
- Sure.
Do you have a religion?
- I'm an atheist.
- An atheist?
What does that religion believe?
It means she disbelieves in the existence of deities.
How old are you?
- Oh, I am...
- Could you pass me the pineapple?
Oh, this is mine.
After the first date, Min Seo, the heroine,
left a present in the locker of the battlers she likes.
Battlers, check your locker now.
The heroine chose...
Woo Sin, Raken, and Yeon Woo.
The heroine asked Woo Sin out...
on a second date.
("Hanamaru Kindergarten")
I'll let you kiss me.
Please wake up.
- Hey, Hae Gyeol.
- Yes?
Take the packages inside if you have nothing to do.
Sure.
This one is for Yeon Woo.
This too.
It's for Yeon Woo.
(To Wild Animal's Tae In)
(To Wild Animal's Tae In)
(To Wild Animal's Jeong Seo)
(To Wild Animal)
Wait.
(To Wild Animal)
Is this for me?
(Hae Gyeol)
(Solution for a clogged toilet, solution for a leaky ceiling)
(What your dog's eyes tell you, 10 best dessert shops)
Have you given up on taming the black magic?
I am working on it. It's just not easy.
Why did you call me here?
I should get ready for Round Two of "Battle Love."
What? So you need my help?
- But I have no experience.
- What do you mean?
I've never dated anyone.
But you are 29 years old.
What have you been doing?
Dal, but why...
I do not understand.
(Liz Ri, I want to hear your voice again.)
(Many fans are still waiting for you, Liz Ri.)
(I'm a foreigner. Your voice gave me hope.)
Did you make it for Liz Ri?
Then go give it to her.
Why are you holding onto it?
I will give it to her...
when I'm ready.
First, we should get you ready for your date.
I don't want to do it, though.
A cleric should not go on a date. Am I wrong?
Right now, we have no choice.
That's not true.
Then why can't I goof around?
That is...
That will confuse both of us. That is why.
But a cleric should not be confused, right?
Visiting me,
looking out for me,
risking your life to save me. Stuff like that too.
You should not do any of that.
Of course, I'd develop feelings...
for the person who saved me. It's only natural.
But the last time,
you clearly said that you had no feelings for me.
Dal, tell me how you truly feel.
I hope you can stay here.
I don't want you to go back.
What would I do if I stayed here?
If I stayed...
What could I do with you?
Guys!
Where is Hae Gyeol?
Do you know where he is?
Have you been able to get in touch with Hae Gyeol?
No, I tried his cell on my way here, but he isn't picking up.
What is this about?
Look.
(Letter of Resignation)
What the...
Name, Cha Hyun Kyu.
I'm sorry for not being a worthy member of the group.
This is nasty.
These darn...
I can't believe someone did this.
Check this out.
He was an errand boy in high school who got beaten every day.
You saw Evil Boys, the group with this week's number one song.
I went to high school with one of the members.
He used to harass kids and take their money.
It burns to see him be a success.
I thought he'd at least recognize me,
but he walked right past me.
As if I didn't exist in his memories.
The member of Evil Boys. The one he bullied...
was Hae Gyeol.
What? Who bullied whom?
Is Hae Gyeol really leaving us?
As if.
Wasn't he home?
No, and his clothes were gone.
He packed up and left?
He has never acted this way before,
so what got into him?
He's not like Kasy who loves his outings.
His dream is to be the focus of a close-up fancam.
All right. Call his parents...
and all his friends.
Look for him at the places he frequents.
But Hae Gyeol usually stays home,
and we haven't seen him go anywhere.
Could he have gone to the Han River?
- Han River!
- Don't be absurd.
Do not worry us like that.
Cut the ominous remarks,
and go look for him.
Hurry.
Go on.
I'm sorry.
I can't find him.
Was he not at the Internet cafe?
Should we report him missing?
There's no time for this. We should go to the bridge...
I'll contact Hae Gyeol's parents.
He could've gone to Haenam.
Right.
Yeon Woo, you should head back home.
You're filming a show tomorrow.
We should keep looking for him.
Were they not able to find Hae Gyeol?
Not yet.
I am worried that he will have negative thoughts.
Gam Jae, could you look for him?
His disappearance has nothing to do with goblins and the Hongwoodaedae.
You heartless being.
Think more about what is important to you.
Isn't it your goal to find your way back to your realm?
Turn the car around.
I must stop by someplace.
I am not in the U-turn lane.
I will do so up ahead.
That is not what I meant.
I'm sure you're aware...
that people are still besmirching you...
and are hoping for your demise.
There's no other way to end it.
It will only end with your death.
I apologize for my tardiness.
It's all right. Take a seat and catch your breath.
Yeon Woo, is something going on?
Well,
a member of the group suddenly disappeared.
What? My gosh. Were you able to find him?
Not yet.
Just a second.
Goodness. Where did you get this delicacy?
We had it prepared just for you.
We'll have them readied for you.
It would be nice to share them with Hae Gyeol.
It smells incredible.
Would you happen to know...
where male youngsters frequent these days?
I'm afraid it's not something I know.
The member that ran away is a quiet one,
and not being able to read him is frustrating.
I was not that way when I was his age.
It's hard to read the minds of youngsters these days.
I consult those who seek jobs,
and youngsters these days have unique experiences.
Unique experiences?
That's right.
Recently, I took on a client who used to be...
in the entertainment industry.
I think he said he was a boy band trainee.
Or maybe he actually debuted.
What was his name?
Cha...
Cha Hyun Kyu?
It was Cha Hyun Kyu. Why do you ask?
Cha Hyun Kyu?
(Letter of Resignation, Name: Cha Hyun Kyu)
Cha Hyun Kyu?
Where is your workplace?
My workplace?
Yes, we must go there immediately.
Right now?
Let us go together.
- Hae Gyeol.
- Get him!
You!
Hey.
- This is where you were.
- Where were you?
We looked for you everywhere.
Why would you want to get a new job?
How did you know I was here?
That is not important. Let us go home.
I'll explain everything some other time.
But for now, please go away. I'm sorry.
You must come with us.
It was your dream to be the focus of a fancam.
All these cameras are on you.
Your dream will soon come true.
This isn't what I wanted, Yeon Woo.
This isn't why I quit.
I'm really sorry about this, but can't you leave?
We know that he bullied you in school.
I will teach him a lesson when we cross paths again.
There's no need for that. I'm not worth it.
- Your finger!
- What?
- Are you hurt?
- Are you injured?
- What?
- Your sweet little thumb.
You should've been more careful! Let me see.
This isn't the issue. Take me seriously, will you?
Let's go to the doctor. How about the ER?
Why would he need a doctor when he has me?
What do you think you're doing?
Why are you worried about me over nothing?
I'm such a nuisance.
You can be a nuisance all you want.
We will still not abandon you.
It...
It hurt.
And I was scared.
- I was scared.
- You were scared and hurt?
Why are you crying?
Run away like this again, and I'll kill you myself.
- Cry all you want.
- Let it out.
It's all right.
What are you looking at?
After the second date,
the contestant that the heroine showed the most affection toward...
is Woo Yeon Woo.
She must like you a great deal.
You have to tell her how you feel during the third date.
Are you prepared?
- No.
- I knew it.
It's why I did your work for you.
You might actually win her over.
By the way...
It's about what I said in the conference room.
I must've been under the influence of the black magic.
It's what led me to say all those things.
Being tired had me babbling.
You get it, right?
Sure.
That's why I need you to fix me soon.
So that this stops happening. Okay?
I see why you have never dated before.
What? Hey, you!
Darn you.
Ta-da.
Isn't it pretty?
If you confess your love here,
wouldn't she say yes 90 percent of the time?
Yes.
Now you have to come up with something to say.
I haven't dated anyone,
but I've been asked out a lot.
But none of the guys said anything that stuck in my memory.
What would you want the man to say?
Me? I don't know.
It's best to be honest.
Put it simply. Say you like her.
What is it?
I really wish you'd fix me soon.
Don't you get it?
Do you know why I cannot free you from the black magic?
How would I know?
What's my problem?
Is it that I'm too lazy?
You cannot forgive yourself.
- What?
- You cannot forgive,
and you blame and hate yourself.
How is that a problem?
I know what's wrong with me.
My problem is I don't face my problem.
Even after Liz Ri woke up,
I was unable to visit her, and that's my problem.
I'm shameless and cowardly.
I'm stupid and that's my problem.
How could you be cured when you hate yourself so?
It is bad to spite others,
but it is also bad to hate yourself.
How can I forgive myself?
Forgiving myself when Liz Ri hasn't...
That's just shameful.
Liz Ri has forgiven you.
(Audio files)
Ms. Kim, I put you through a lot, didn't I?
I never resented you.
Liz Ri!
You are Liz Ri, right?
Who are you?
Can you please come over here?
So we can talk somewhere safe.
Wait.
Will you take a look at this?
It is a gift from Kim Dal.
Kim...
Ms. Kim?
(Liz Ri, I want to hear your voice again.)
(Many fans are still waiting for you, Liz Ri.)
(I wish you happiness. Don't have bad thoughts.)
(You're taking a break, right? We're waiting for you.)
This is...
a letter Kim Dal wrote to you.
I found it between the pages.
I'm so sorry for visiting so late.
Whenever I thought of you,
I felt sad and my heart ached.
I'd made a dreadful decision,
and I didn't notice your condition.
I apologize.
But,
though there are lots of bad people,
there are lots of good people too.
Enough that you could be surrounded with them forever.
If you want,
you can face only the people who like,
support, and adore you.
That's how I want you to live.
I'm not sure if I have the right to say this,
and this might even sound selfish,
but I sincerely hope...
you can move on and live happily.
If you'll let me,
I'll help you.
She forgave me?
That's a lie.
She already forgave you.
Perhaps...
she felt forced to say she forgave me.
She might not have meant it.
She said it, so believe it.
You told her to look at only the good things.
Why can you not do the same?
Because I'm...
Good things you should say to yourself, you say to others,
and to yourself, you are so unforgiving.
You act like you are so smart,
but you see yourself with hatred.
Even if she forgives me,
that won't erase the pain and hurt.
How could I like myself...
when I'm the cause of what happened?
That was not your fault, either.
Someone else wronged her.
My poor decision caused her to be ridiculed.
No one would've hated her if it hadn't been for me.
You did what you thought was best for her.
Were you not the one who wanted her to do well more than anyone?
But still...
Still, it was all my fault.
It happened because I was stupid.
I'm stupid. I'm pathetic. I'm trash.
I want to die. I must die. I have to die.
Look. You are being so stubborn.
No.
I'm just...
I don't think it was the magic.
It wasn't the magic.
I must like you.
(The Heavenly Idol)
(Special thanks to Jang Yeong Nam and Kim So Hee.)
I must calm my heart.
Why did you do that? Why?
A scandal about you two?
Do not apologize.
Woo Yeon Woo, you fool!
- You killed her!
- How dare you?
Dal.
Take one more step, and they all die.
What are you up to?
If I cannot save them,
what good am I?
I don't want your death to be beautiful.
