What is your dream?

Yeon-hee?

Orphanage, 1998.

What do you want to be?

Or something you like?

We'll have to become friends here.

Cha Yeon-hee, DOB 1990 Father Cha Dong-gyu, Actor.

Alcoholic Father, incapable of rearing child.

A heroine.

Really?

Heroine is really cool.

She protects people and never dies.

So?

You have to be a heroine of something.

Dad said he couldn't be one, and became useless.

If you're useless, you're thrown away.

Dad won't come for me anymore?

Yeon-hee.

You didn't come here because you're useless.

It's just that he...

Do you really want to be a heroine?

Our hearts are like magnets.

If you really wish for something,

the magnets will pull it from even the deepest space.

Shall we pray?

Our Lord and savior,

thank you for sending Yeon-hee...

It was a revelation.

Yes, sir.

I'm not at the office.

Dirty stench...

You said to me a long time ago,

the sinners always stink of rotting stench.

That stench will spread,

and hyenas will come searching for corpses.

Are you also an animal attracted by the stench?

Shut your mouth, I'll become a monster!

So accept your fate.

I've loved you...

Good afternoon, director!

I'm next generation action star Cha Yeon-hee!

I heard you're preparing a swordsman movie.

That's perfect.

I can pull this off so well.

Give me a chance and I'll prove it to you.

Please give me a call!

Action star Cha Yeon-hee!

Salute!

Subscribers of 'Going Going', hello.

I'm the host, 'Doing Doing'.

No need for intro, let's start with a video.

Put your head on the monitor!

Salute!

Korean Bermuda Triangle?

Look closely at this movie set,

you all remember Ghoster?

That YouTuber went missing 3 years ago here.

- Entrance to the parallel world... - So many weirdos in the world.

Are you Han Ji-hye by any chance?

I'm loving your TV show.

You look hotter in person, could I get an autograph?

You got the wrong gal, I'm Cha Yeon-hee.

Cha Yeon-hee? Who's that?

Action star Cha Yeon-hee!

Action star Cha Yeon-hee?

So you're not her.

Just live with the face you got.

Why bother trying to look like someone else?

Everyone's doing it, no?

Nose like someone, forehead like someone else.

And everyone's mouths are all like this.

And they ask me, “How much is a fish cake?”

Hey!

You're doing stuff with your hands,

signaling each other ever since you came.

Are you trying to dine and dash?

I've had it with you, show me your money.

Excuse me.

What're you saying to the kids? This is injustice!

I'll pay theirs too.

Here's $6.

It's $30, $1 per.

You paid for everything?

Whatever...

They were obsessed with fish cake.

You helped a senior and dropped her stuff.

And paid for it last week!

Hello?

I'm not interested!

Waiting for a call?

That washroom director?

It's weird, I really felt something.

It wasn't an ordinary acting...

Start eating while you talk.

What about that call? The stunt double gig.

I don't do stunt doubles.

Realistically, you think you can be the heroine...

You really do think so. That's what you think.

Do you know what a heroine is?

The one and only, a singular character.

Isn't it cool?

In the movies or here, a heroine is a heroine.

Everything else is meaningless.

Then you're meaningless too?

You said everything is meaningless but the heroine.

You remind me of my days on the set.

I had so many big dreams.

Su-ah...

What?

What is it?

Is this true?

4-time national kendo runner-up,

won 2 internationals,

totaling 12 wins, including unofficial matches.

It's 14.

Then write 14.

- Are these made up? - No! You can verify it online!

Swordswoman Cha Yeon-hee.

Like hell I will, then write 14 here too.

Profiles are all lies these days.

Anyway, this role was given to actress Min...

You mean, Min Ae-ri? Isn't that the heroine role?

Right, the heroine.

It's called 'Soul Slayer'.

Soul Slayer: Warrior who uses a sword possessed by a soul.

A warrior with a soul sword.

But Min got drunk and practiced an action scene,

then she rolled down the stairs and broke her wrist.

What the hell is up with her?

Can you do this?

I can do it.

How can I trust you?

Actresses can't pull off action like me.

How can I just take your word for it?

Sir, actresses nowadays are messed up in the head.

Who comes to a practice drunk?

I really don't get that.

I know...

How does that make any sense?

Okay.

Good!

The shoot begins in 2 days, so there's no time.

AD will give you the call sheets,

and don't worry about costume, we'll take care of everything.

We'll pay top dollars for the stunt double role...

Wait a minute.

Stunt double?

What else would it be?

You weren't told?

AD!

Get in here!

Sir, I don't do stunt doubles.

I'm the heroine.

All other actresses are useless.

With me, you don't need a stunt double.

You don't need anyone else, I can do it all!

So you want the heroine role?

Yes.

Well...

Ms. Cha.

I saw your tape, I got a good look at it.

You're good.

But...

Anyone nowadays can do that much.

Even I can do that.

You'll never become the heroine.

Wish for it desperately, it will come true!

Our hearts are like magnets.

If you really wish for something,

the magnets will pull it from even the deepest space.

Wish for it desperately, it will come true!

Didn't I tell you to get the driving license?

What kind of friend drives you to the set?

But...

it's exciting to go to a set for the first time in a while.

- What are you doing? - Reading the script.

Aren't you a stunt double?

Do you think Min Ae-ri is a good actress?

Min Ae-ri?

Well...

I'll show them who deserves to be the heroine.

The space will help me.

You know your definition of a heroine?

It has a Buddhist definition too.

It's someone who overcame anguish and delusion.

You should focus on stunt double and consider it paying your dues.

You are off course.

- Huh? What's with this? - Rerouting to your destination.

Wake me up when we arrive.

Hello?

Sir, I'm here, where are you?

Hello? Hello?

Su-ah, give me your phone...

Su-ah!

Su-ah!

Where did you get that?

This? I found it over there.

This looks so real.

Give it to me, don't fool around with props.

So cold-hearted...

What's that?

Rolling! 4A, take 1!

Don't touch random stuff.

Isn't this a slate?

It looks a bit weird.

4A, take 2!

Take 3!

Take 4!

Actress on the set, make way please!

She's getting into character!

Picture's up! Rolling!

4A, take 1!

Take 2!

1-1-1?

1A, take 1, action!

What's going on?

Excuse me...

This sword is...

Aren't you the Soul Slayer?

What?

Right, I am.

So it wasn't a dream...

I'm Jina, Lord of this town.

Lord?

Lord!

Lord!

We got a situation!

Shitface Jaru and his men are back,

they're stirring up trouble!

Bastards...

Soul Slayer, please come!

Over here!

What's going on?!

Is she trying to be funny?

- Fiery passion in my heart. - Move, move, make way!

Who will cool my passion?

It's been a while.

You're supposed to tell us when you're coming.

I was going to.

But my bosses are nagging me, what can I do?

What'll you do with that?

I told you to stop that, it doesn't suit you.

I wanted to ask you since a while ago.

Who are you?

Me?

She's the handler of phoenix, vicious and relentless killer,

the Soul Slayer!

Soul Slayer? Where?

That's your cue.

I am...

the handler of the phoenix!

The vicious and relentless killer!

I'm Cha Yeon-hee in the role of Soul Slayer.

Thank you.

She's the Soul Slayer!

Shut the hell up!

You take the Bandit King for a fool?!

Here's the order from the great Taepyeongso.

As the war wages on, we'll raise the tax 5 folds...

You want us all to starve to death?!

They're waking up my wild animal instinct.

It's an order from Taepyeongso.

Bandit King Dong Jaru, Bandit King Dong...

Was the script revised?

I don't see Bandit King here...

Excuse me, what's your name?

Leonardo!

You serious?

You bastards!

Legend of the Soul Slayer.

You sons of bitches!

You guys are inhuman!

Bring something, quick!

Get a stretcher! Hurry!

Bring something!

Bastards!

Stay awake!

Please help!

Shush.

Do something!

Sir, what was that? Was that real?

It looked way too real.

Are we in Hollywood?

That was amazing, I need to tell Su-ah.

Right, Su-ah...

Does your phone work?

Who are you by the way?

From spirits, occults, demons and curses,

I explore mysterious sites.

I'm a mystery chaser, YouTuber known as Ghoster.

You don't watch YouTube? That's possible.

Ghoster?

Could you come with me?

Where are we?

Sir?

What's all these?

This is my workshop.

I shoot outside, edit in here.

I make videos.

Please like and subscribe.

Aren't you the YouTuber who went missing 3 years ago?

I didn't go missing.

Missing means I disappeared.

Does your phone work? Mine has no signal.

You won't get a signal.

This is a different world.

Have you heard of...

'parallel world'?

One that is on parallel line as our real world.

Ones divided not too long ago may resemble our world,

but ones divided a long ago won't resemble ours at all.

It's hard, right?

It is.

But this is the fact.

This world may look similar to ours on the surface,

but it has completely different history.

Eastern, western,

ancient and present,

eras are all jumbled up together.

Like a wonderland...

Excuse me.

Are you okay?

No one cares if you openly carry swords.

Back in our world, cops would be all over us.

But this is Korean period of warring states,

a different history is happening here!

I'm sorry.

This is a toy.

So you're saying...

this is not a set, but a parallel world?

Shit, you're taking me for a fool?

What a weirdo.

What's wrong with this?

Kiddo, what are you doing?

So this really is a para...

How do I get out?

Is there a way?

Thousands of people visited this set,

and only you and I reached here.

We must have something in common.

I'm sure you've heard of it before.

Our hearts are like magnets.

If you really wish for something,

even the space will help us.

You're here because you wanted to be here.

Desperately and earnestly.

Kiddo.

Do you know where the lord of the village is?

Go tell the lord,

I came to console the weeping villagers,

the Soul Slayer is here.

Didn't we say the tax went up by 5 times?

- Didn't we? - Did we or did we not?!

- Please! - Su-ah?

Su-ah!

Su-ah, what are you doing here?

Stop, no more please...

This world may look similar to ours on the surface,

but it has completely different history.

Why is he passed out there?

Get up, asshole!

Get her.

Got your ass kicked by a chick, eh?

You good?

Kill her at once!

I was born in the year of tigers.

You'll get bitten by tiger...

Please come in.

This is where you'll be staying.

It's an old house, but it's filled with details.

It seems dark but it's got direct sunlight, and no molds.

The floor is cleaner than it looks, there's not a single bug...

There is one.

We'll put thick blankets, so don't worry.

If there's anything you...

Oh, I'm sorry.

This is from Mr. Jung.

It's for saving his wife.

Those bandits aren't bad people.

It's the guy they work for, Taepyeongso.

Still, they used to let us know before the collection...

Is there something wrong?

No, it's okay.

Who is Taepyeongso?

You don't know him?

Are you kidding?

Seriously?

He's...

A devil.

The Dragon clan he led,

was once the biggest syndicate in this area.

But ever since he became ill, the clan started to collapse,

and internal conflicts over his succession became rampant.

To prove his power, looting became worse.

My father tried to protect this village,

but his own protégé...

Who was it?

We've never seen her before.

Taepyeongso is gathering warriors who'll protect him.

And he started torturing the weak even more.

Villagers are leaving one by one.

Because no one will protect us.

I'm begging you, protect us from him.

He'll surely try to recruit you.

If that doesn't work,

he'll attempt to take your life.

You're our village's only hope!

What is your dream?

Yeon-hee?

Dad said he couldn't be a hero, and became useless.

If you're useless, you're thrown away.

You'll never become the heroine.

If you really wish for something,

the magnets will pull it from even the deepest space.

You're here because you wanted to be here.

Desperately and earnestly.

Now I understand why I'm here.

Where is Taepyeongso now?

Hey, you there.

Holy crap!

Could you take me to the lord of the village?

Who are you?

Go tell your lord,

I'm here to console the weeping...

Mr. Yoo, what's the rush?

It's bad, Soul Slayer is about to go into a duel!

Wait!

Did you just say 'Soul Slayer'?

You're stretching my jacket!

Boss!

What happened was...

I came to relay Master Taepyeongso's words.

“Pledge allegiance to me and serve me.

If then, I'll lower the village's tax and minimize their suffering.

If you do not comply,

I will kill and ferment the villagers in barrels.”

Your bad breath reeks even from here.

You are being rude.

Go tell your master.

If he wants me, he must come himself.

That won't happen.

Then we're done here.

The heroine doesn't submit to the villains.

What does it feel to meet your old friend again?

How dare she impersonate me?

Interesting though.

Look away.

It's too precious...

Could you look over here?

Good! Very good!

What are you doing?

Video concept confirmed!

Trials and tribulations of a warrior from the parallel world!

Think about it.

When I return to our world, I can upload the videos,

then I'll get 1 million? 10? Or more subscribers!

- I prefer my left side. - Very good!

But I'm quite worried.

Your opponent is formidable.

These people need me.

Have you stabbed a real person?

Have you stabbed a real person?

Such a pleasant scent.

Uprooted flowers may briefly let out its scent,

but it soon decomposes and goes back to earth.

One must live within his means to live long.

Who the hell are you?

I don't believe this.

I guess I can tell you my name before you meet your end.

Listen well,

once and for all,

I'm the handler of phoenix, vicious and relentless ghost...

Jeez.

- Got any water? - Water?

Shut up if you don't.

Boss!

I came running to serve you!

After meeting you,

the forgotten passion in my heart

has reignited!

It's burning inside me!

Fiery passion in my heart.

Who will cool...

Soul Slayer! Soul Slayer!

Jina!

We got a situation.

What are you doing?

I'll offer my heart to the Soul Slayer from today.

What's going on?

It's bad, please hurry!

Boss! My passion's hot!

You freed me!

My heart is about to burst!

Holy cow...

Translate for me.

She says, “Come with me”.

The heroine never submits to the villain.

I think we should stay out of this.

- No! - What are you doing?!

- Soul Slayer! - Boss!

Boss!

This place is so weird.

They don't recognize me,

and some chick is posing as me.

I've never experienced such humiliation in my life.

What are you doing?

Are you normally quiet, or are you a mute?

What is your name?

Should I give you a name?

Whatever.

What is that?

What is it?

She's infected with venom.

Venom?

Rattlesnake's venom causes necrosis,

and disrupts blood clotting, leading the subject to death.

What are you saying? Explain it so I can understand!

There is an antidote.

So where the hell is it?!

Boil blood of a 100-year old softshell turtle,

but how long did I boil?

Where? Where is it?!

They took it, bandits took my turtles!

At this rate, she won't last a few days.

You still have it?

You can't kill anyone with that.

I don't want to hear it.

Nothing from your mouth.

If you're doing this for my father, then don't.

Even in death, he won't forgive you.

I did not kill the master, he just became weak.

How long do you think those words will protect you?

Soul Slayer!

Soul Slayer will seek my revenge.

You really think she's the Soul Slayer?

The sword of a vicious and relentless killer

cannot even break the skin?

The master will soon forgive me.

Is that okay to drink?

Where did you get it?

Why is there no reaction?

She drank it, why isn't she reacting?!

Be patient!

She just drank it.

Rattlesnake's venom...

Even with the antidote,

it'll take a considerable amount of time for it to work,

and even the healthiest person

will take over 3 days to fully...

Boss!

I really thought you were a goner!

I'll follow you to death,

so don't get sick...

Heroines don't die so easily.

Boss...

Where have you been, Mr. Philip?

Wasn't your master the previous lord?

When the master who raised an orphan dies,

one can't look the other way.

But you need to remember one thing.

Everything is Taepyeongso's wisdom to remove

the poison known as weakness.

Do you really think that old man will live?

That is a very dangerous remark.

In the end, you or me will have to die.

I was told you're gathering your men,

could you be planning a revolt?

Maybe...

what do you think?

Fake? You sure?

Lord, I'm not new to my job,

it's so obvious looking at this.

You can't even kill an ant with it!

Wait, maybe an ant, what about a hen?

Woman, bring me a hen. I want to kill it!

What are you doing there?

Come eat!

Why are you looking at me like that?

You're scaring me!

I had a weird dream...

A dream?

Did a bull dog crap in it?

Woof, woof, bullcrap.

Eat up.

You need to eat to regain your strength,

so that you can dream and whatever else.

Dig in.

Yeon-hee, are you okay with your rent this month?

I paid your last month's rent,

and I gave you a loan last week too.

I'll get a gig soon, so be a little patient.

This is really good.

You think I'm kidding around?

What exactly are you?

I feed you, pay your rent, and all utilities too.

Am I your mom?

Su-ah...

If you're an adult, then act like one.

How long will you chase your pipe dream?

Are you a kid?

Or because you're an orphan?

Su-ah!

Don't say my name, bitch!

You disgust me, a worthless dirty orphan...

Know why you weren't adopted?

You're useless.

Stop it!

Your dad knew this and tossed you, you knew that!

Just stop it!

Even you don't like yourself.

You shouldn't have been born at all.

Look.

That's you.

Not even worth the attention.

Just die.

You were gonna do it anyway.

Kill yourself.

Die.

Die.

Die.

Die.

Die, die!

Die.

Die.

Die.

Die.

Die, die!

Die!

Boss!

No!

The strong lives, and the weak dies.

You said that to me over and over again,

but why are you like this?

Why are you clinging onto life?

I'll end you.

Are you afraid of death?

You're scared?

No, you're not afraid of anything!

You shouldn't be!

The strong lives, and the weak dies.

I sincerely respected you!

Sir! Sir!

Philip...

Master Taepyeongso has returned.

Master Taepyeongso has returned!

I'm coming in.

Boss, this is just a scratch.

I can't tell this from a mosquito bite, it's itchy.

Could you leave us for a moment?

I was gonna go outside, anyway.

Don't think that I'd feel bad for you two talking in private.

I'm not curious, okay.

I once asked my father to teach me the way of the sword.

But he said I wasn't cut out for it.

I was innately weak.

'I'm not good at this,

I can't protect this village on my own', I thought.

In that state,

my father gave me this dagger.

I found out later that

this is for committing suicide.

After his passing, I was desperate to protect this village.

Then I met you.

I thought I was finally useful.

It's all thanks to you.

But...

we need the real Soul Slayer.

Taepyeongso is dead!

Taepyeongso is dead!

Lord, Taepyeongso is dead!

Taepyeongso's dead?

Looks like I'm not needed anymore.

I'll leave after getting rid of my fake.

You're really not coming?

Let me ask you one thing.

What's making you stay in this wretched village?

Have a good life.

A soul who is always kind.

How's 'Kind Soul'?

As your name?

I'm off.

Lord, what are you doing?

Put this down and let's have fun.

Please sit.

Okay.

It's been so long since the villagers were happy.

Thank you, it's all because of you.

Where will you go?

With Taepyeongso dead, peace has returned.

I'm sick of all the fighting.

Going back to the real world?

But we're in the middle of production!

And...

and if you leave...

I'm not needed here.

You said so yourself,

when you return, you'll upload the videos.

Which means there is a way to go back.

When I arrived here, I found a weird object.

It was made of wood, I've never seen it before.

Slate.

I've looked 3 years for it without any success.

Fiery passion in my heart.

Who will cool my passion?

Washroom... Where is...

You heard everything?

Maybe I shouldn't have said what I said.

Had I known about this, I should've looked the other way.

She still fought till the end for us.

When Soul Slayer leaves, I'll protect this village,

so don't worry.

There's something I didn't tell you.

This is a top secret.

I really am the real Bandit King.

I'm serious!

If my peeps know where I am, they'd go batshit crazy!

- Bandit King... - I'm serious!

You don't believe me?!

It's the truth.

Who is it?

I said I'm coming, you're so impatient...

What are you looking for?

Have you...

forgotten me?

That's...

Is it yours?

If you win,

you can have it.

Why?

You're scared because,

you'll get a whipping?

Who are you?

Live as you are.

Boss...

Jaru!

Jaru...

They took Jina.

I wanted to protect her...

Who are you?

Master Taepyeongso would like to see you.

Where's Jina?

You can meet her if you surrender.

Pity.

Boss!

You sons of bitches!

How could you gang up on a single person?!

That's why you guys are called hooligans!

As a man...

at least fight in equal numbers!

Cut them all down.

For the Bandit King!

For the Bandit King!

Leonardo!

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

This is Taepyeongso's compound.

Get going.

Boss!

Wait for me, assholes!

I've been waiting for you.

Hey.

Go.

I got something to discuss with him.

Dammit.

We really need to talk.

That's yours, right?

There's no reason for the weak to exist.

You should've left the kid alone.

Jina!

Jina.

Welcome.

When you're bed ridden,

you understand our deepest instincts.

You understand who are your friends and foes.

So I wiped them out.

I'm starting over,

a world with me alone.

Everything else is meaningless, only that world...

Seriously.

You talk so damn much.

I did go on for a bit.

Who are you?

What's the point of telling a dead man?

Boss, there are so many of them.

Stop blabbering and go fight, asshole!

Yes, boss!

You sons of bitches!

Very good!

Who the fuck...

Die, you bastard.

Kind Soul...

I told you to leave the kid alone!

Dude!

Dude!

Dammit, you can talk.

What a pity.

The strong lives and the weak perishes.

Therefore,

you don't deserve to exist.

What is your dream?

Yeon-hee?

A heroine.

You have to be a heroine of something.

Dad said he couldn't be a hero, and became useless.

If you're useless, you're thrown away.

In the movies or here, a heroine is a heroine.

Everything else is meaningless.

- If you're meaningless... - You're thrown away.

Then you're meaningless too?

You said everything is meaningless but the heroine.

You know your definition of a heroine?

I looked it up online.

That wasn't the definition at all.

It has a Buddhist definition too,

as someone who overcame anguish and delusion.

I don't deserve to exist?

What if...

I don't think so?

Jina.

Jina.

Jina.

Soul Slayer...

Let's go home.

Soul Slayer!

Boss?

Boss!

Boss...

Boss...

Wait...

That!

Here... Get going.

I have more work left to do here.

When you get back, please like and subscribe...

Boss.

Jina.

You're the protector now.

1A, take 1.

End slate.

Hey!

Hey, I looked everywhere for you.

Why didn't you answer my calls?

The director's mad as hell, it's crazy...

Hey...

Yeon-hee...

What's wrong?

Bring me a battery, go get a battery.

Hurry up!

I'm sorry!

Hurry!

It's missing a light bulb.

Someone fetch me a bulb.

- I'm so sorry. - It's okay.

Are you okay?

Yes, bring it please.

Let's get ready!

Pardon me.

We'll start in 10 minutes!

It's not here!

- Ready? - Yes.

Hello, aren't you the stunt double for Soul Slayer?

- I'm costume department's... - Jina.

Kim Jina.

Do you know me?

Hey, action star!

Where the hell were you?!

Don't you know your call time?

You're just a double!

How could you make everyone here wait?!

I don't believe it, you look so clueless.

AD!

Where were you?

Were you sleeping?

I didn't get a wink yesterday...

Go home, get the hell out of here!

Go home!

Not my cap...

Jina.

My name is not Soul Slayer, it's Yeon-hee.

Cha Yeon-hee.

I'm coming with the wardrobe.

One second!

It's not here!

We'll start rolling, one moment!

Where did it go?

Where should I put this?

Let's get a move on!

There's nothing wrong with the light.

Come on, let's go.

Hurry the hell up!

What's next?

Please hurry!

Here we go! Camera speed!

Rolling!

Sound!

Speed!

Slate!

1A, take 1!

Ready!
