Seong-A.

My eyes…

have opened.

If my ears, eyes, mouth, and nose are taken over by ghosts,

what happens then?

Your ears.

Once you hear something, you become likely to believe it.

You'll end up believing ghosts.

Your eyes.

Seeing ghosts makes you lonely.

When you say you see ghosts, people think you're lying.

No one believes you.

That's why you become lonely.

Yeah.

Some feel so lonely that they want to befriend ghosts.

But you shouldn't.

There's usually only one reason why ghosts would befriend a human.

It's to take over their body.

Is there something on my face?

No.

I stared because you're pretty.

Do you know you're really weird, sir?

-Why do you say that? -I mean…

Who lets a novice like me enter a major competition like this?

Aren't you afraid?

I feel pretty intimidated right now.

This feels pretty professional.

I don't expect you to win a medal.

Do what you always do at school.

I don't do anything, though.

I just have fun in the field.

That's what I meant.

Fiddle with your bow next to Gyeon-U.

I don't think you realized,

but Gyeon-U sometimes smiles because of you.

Those who smile have a longer career, and that's what I want for him.

So you're using me so Gyeon-U can do better?

-I love you. -Buy me beef.

If Gyeon-U wins gold.

-Deal. -Deal.

What are you doing?

I can't believe I'm seeing you here. I thought you'd quit archery.

Yes. I'm back.

JOONGHYUN HIGH SCHOOL

Does Hui-na know

you got back into archery?

Yeah, she does.

Did she forgive you?

Hui-na.

I'm entering the Hanragi Competition.

I've decided to stop running away.

Gyeon-U.

I still feel the same.

I want you to die.

I hope you'll get better.

How could you do this to Hui-na? She ended up like that because of you!

People might see. Stop it.

I know you're upset, but talk it out.

I thought it was my fault too.

That's why I walked out of her life,

but she's still not happy at all.

I don't do archery to make someone unhappy.

I do it because I like it.

Let's not make things complicated

and just do what we like instead.

We all like archery.

The energy of the heavens, earth, sun, and moon will bring silence and light.

May my spirit become one with the ghost's and may our wills become one.

The energy of the heavens, earth, sun, and moon…

Why does she need the Unify Spell now?

…and may our wills become one.

May it be done immediately…

Yeomhwa.

Open up!

Ma'am.

Get the prayer room key.

What the heck is she up to now?

HWAMOK HIGH SCHOOL

We'll now begin the high school men's 70 m competition.

Gyeon-U.

If you're ready, head on out.

Good luck, Gyeon-U!

Stay strong, Gyeon-U. You've got this.

When we hold hands tight like this,

then…

it keeps me from thinking that I might lose.

Because you're so warm.

Now, it's my turn to protect you.

Oh, two points?

That's it.

He's so cool.

Oh, my dear Gyeon-U.

He's so handsome even from behind.

What a cutie.

GO, HWAMOK HIGH!

May my spirit become one with the ghost's and may our wills become one.

May my spirit become one with the ghost's and may our wills become one.

May my spirit become one with the ghost's and may our wills become one.

May my spirit become one with the ghost's and may our wills become one.

May my spirit become one with the ghost's and may our wills become one.

May my spirit become one with the ghost's and may our wills become one…

-I recognize this… -…will bring silence and light.

May my spirit become one with the ghost's and may our wills become one.

You're sending negative energy

to make it easier for Bong-su to kill Gyeon-U.

Too bad, though.

Today, we used the Suppress Technique to protect each other.

If you want to harm Gyeon-U, you must go through me first.

The energy of the heavens, earth, sun, and moon will bring silence and light.

-May my spirit become one… -May my spirit become one with his

and may our wills become one.

May it be done immediately.

You sly thing.

The energy of the heavens, earth, sun, and moon…

The energy of the heavens, earth, sun, and moon…

May my spirit become one with his

and may our wills become one.

…and may our wills become one.

…and may our wills become one.

…and may our wills become one. May it be done immediately.

ROUND 1

You'll be disqualified if you don't shoot now, Gyeon-U.

Shoot now, Gyeon-U Gyeon-U.

May my spirit become one with the ghost's and may our wills become one.

About archery.

How does it make you feel?

I feel good.

However strong the wind blows…

I can beat it with a single arrow.

Oh, my gosh.

First place in high school men's individual event.

Bae Gyeon-U.

Well done!

Congratulations, Gyeon-U.

Well done.

I'm proud of you!

So cool!

One, two, three.

Bigger smiles, everyone.

-One, two, three. -Even bigger?

…two, three. Okay.

That's enough.

One-day teammate.

Get up there. I'll take one of you.

Go on, Seong-A.

-Thank you. -Sure.

-Stand closer to each other. -Do your thing, and we'll take the photos.

Okay. One, two, three.

-Smile, will you? -Wait, me too.

-What? -What?

Must you be the third wheel, punk?

Read the room.

One… One, two, three.

It was better when it was just them two.

Let's go eat beef!

-Hooray! -Yes!

One-day teammate. You can come too.

-I have to go home. -Coach,

I'd like to leave early too.

-But why? -Yeah, come on. Join us.

It's just…

I want to show this to my grandma.

She'd be pleased.

I apologize. Sorry, guys.

My gosh, don't apologize for that. You're making me feel bad.

My apologies.

-Spend quality time with your grandmother. -Shall I come with you?

No, I'll go on my own.

Okay.

Hey, why are you being so nice?

Do you want lots of beef?

I plan to eat a lot even if you buy us very little.

-Let's go! -Yes!

-Let's go. -Beef!

Let's go!

You don't have to come with me. I'll go on my own.

Okay, I won't tag along.

You'll be fine even if we're apart today.

By the way, Gyeon-U,

is there anything unusual about your body?

No, not at all.

That's a relief.

-What about you? -What?

I've never felt better.

That's good.

You cast the Unify Spell to become one with someone else.

But you got hit with a curse instead?

You used a spell, but it returned to you as a curse.

What do you think that means?

It means unifying with you is a curse for them.

They were so against the unification that they chose to curse me.

But too bad.

Maybe it's because we come from the same roots,

but the Unify Spell did kind of work.

That would never be enough to bring down the shrine.

Stomp harder…

What happened to you?

-It's no big deal. -As if.

Someone cursed you.

Who's the bastard?

Who would hurt a kid like you?

You used the Unify Spell to harm Seong-A?

What is it?

Are you angry I went after your spirit-daughter?

It's not like you're her birth mom.

If you need someone to hate, hate me only.

That's impossible.

When you hate someone, you loathe the ring they wore,

their favorite hat,

their pet dog,

their neighborhood,

and the neighbors they greeted.

You want to shove them all in the trash can.

How can you channel

the hatred on that person alone?

I can't do that.

I hate everything about you.

Will you go on

living in hell like that?

Yes.

Grandma.

I won a gold medal.

I had a bit of trouble

seeing the target clearly.

But I kept my focus.

THE LATE OH OK-SUN

Hello, ma'am.

Hello.

My head hurts.

Hey, you.

I have a splitting headache because of you.

You know that?

Darn it.

My eyes are acting up now too.

Oh, dear.

You should've stayed away from me.

Avoid me and move on.

Then what about Gyeon-U?

It's you who should avoid me.

You can't beat me anyway.

Darling child.

I'm getting tired of playing with you.

What makes you think you can threaten me?

Kid.

Your family abandoned you, right?

They exploited and ditched you while you were young.

Yeomhwa.

-Please don't. -Fairy God is your patron deity.

Isn't it a bit too much that we share the patron deity too?

What on earth are you saying? Come on out.

Let's go.

I don't feel alien to you, right?

You don't feel alien to me either.

You're just like me.

She brought you home after she kicked me out.

You were alone like me.

You were miserable like me.

And you were cursed like me.

Shut your mouth.

Seong-A is nothing like you.

I raised her differently.

What's more,

I'll start over with you from now on.

I'll pour my heart into you like a mother carrying her baby for nine months.

I won't let you go ever again.

Seong-A's clothes were blotched black?

Yes.

Her energy got tainted.

She will receive divine punishment.

About that punishment.

Is there any way I can take it instead?

No.

If you aren't a shaman, the punishment will kill you.

Can you at least undo the Suppress Technique?

Didn't you call me to help you stop seeing ghosts?

Well, I did…

But Seong-A's safety comes first.

That's more urgent for me.

Okay.

Let me think.

As your Human Amulet, Seong-A must have given you something.

It's right here.

Could it be true?

What Yeomhwa said about Mother raising me as her replacement.

Raising a child is no easy feat,

so one can't just replace one with another.

I did find her strange since the day we met.

When we did the Flower Lantern Dance,

we were so in sync, as if we had practiced together.

That's only natural.

You learned the dance from the same spirit-mother.

If that's the case,

does that mean I might become evil like she has?

You will find this hard to believe,

but she used to be such a sweet and tenderhearted soul.

But people would use that against her, and she'd get her heart broken.

There's a reason the General has a soft spot for her.

Still,

you don't have to worry.

She's got someone to guide her back on track.

Even if a stream takes a wrong turn,

as long as the ocean stands firm,

nothing will be a problem.

Okay.

I can't undo it.

-We'll have to give it up. -Excuse me?

The power of the Human Amulet binding you two is too strong.

You guys have such a powerful will to protect each other

that no other spell can overpower it.

What should we do, then?

Here's a suggestion.

I'll offer this up to the Deities of Seven Stars

and pray over it for you.

The Deities of Seven Stars decide how long we live.

And they're my patron deities.

This served as a Human Amulet's stand-in,

so the deities will protect both you and Seong-A.

Okay. I'd like that.

Please do that.

From now on,

you must stay well away from ghosts.

First, you must avoid evil ghosts.

Second,

even if you get involved with one,

you must never see nor shed blood.

If blood tarnishes you, there's no going back.

-Will I die, then? -It'll be worse than that.

You would be neither alive nor dead. That's what you'll face.

Consider yourself as fragile as glass and be careful for the time being.

Do that until the Deities of Seven Stars

manage to close your ears and eyes from the spirit world.

Can you do that?

I'll try.

Hey.

I keep seeing things from you.

What did you do now?

I merged my energy with yours with the Unify Spell.

What's wrong?

Do I look like a demon?

I see a wooden box about this big.

White cloth is keeping it shut, and you're carrying it on your back.

It's a shame that I don't look like a demon to you.

It's the nice guy.

-Hello. -Want to see my baby?

-Here. -Your baby…

How cute.

Right?

My goodness.

You're…

You're a human.

You're talking to me?

No. That's not what I meant.

You're…

Darn it.

You're getting on my nerves.

You look like you'd kick my tip box.

What?

I'd kick what?

Hey, Beom.

Give me some money.

Text back.

Answer me. Go on. I'm waiting.

Reply this instant.

Reply fast. Come on. Answer.

I'll wait until you show up.

From now on,

you must stay well away from ghosts.

Consider yourself as fragile as glass and be careful for the time being.

Hey, young and handsome.

-You just got back? -Yes.

Listen, handsome. Heaven and Earth Fairy will be in a lot of pain pretty soon.

Take good care of her.

Will she suffer a lot?

Yeah, it will hurt like hell.

It's a shaman thing.

No medicine or doctor can help.

We just have to deal with it.

There's that, but she must be pretty miserable now too.

Her heart must be shattered.

But why? Is something wrong?

It's a family thing. You don't need to know.

Oh, okay.

I hope your pretty face makes her feel better.

I don't know anymore.

Don't worry too much.

I'll see what I can do.

But how?

With my pretty face?

You're hilarious.

Hey.

Hi.

How was your visit to your grandmother?

Well…

It was pretty good.

We used to be joined at the hip to use the power of the Human Amulet,

and now we're apart.

-It feels weird, doesn't it? -Yeah.

I've always thought your room is really pretty.

It's nicely decorated.

Did you pick everything out?

Yeah.

You must've been busy,

but I see you've still studied

really hard…

Well, not really.

"Bae Gyeon-U! Save him! Protect him!"

What's this?

Give me that.

Why? What is it?

-It's nothing. -What is it?

-Don't read it. -"Fire Ghost."

-Don't read it. -"Suicide Ghost"?

A Suicide Ghost is nothing?

I told you not to read it!

I told you not to read it. Why do you keep reading it?

Well, I was just…

Seong-A.

I'm sorry.

Seong-A.

You're still mad, aren't you?

Sorry.

I just wondered what it was.

No.

I should be the one apologizing.

But I still don't want you to know.

Humans should live in the human world.

If you get involved with ghosts,

you'll end up on the boundary.

I want you

to be free of shamans as soon as possible.

I want you to be ordinary.

I see.

If she finds out I can now see ghosts, she'll be so upset.

I must keep it a secret.

I hear you.

But don't worry too much.

Everything will be fine.

Seong-A.

Seong-A. Are you asleep?

She's doing it again.

She keeps

doing this to me.

Try raising your arms like this.

You darn minors!

Didn't I tell you

to hold her hand only?

You old hag of a shaman! You beat me all the time.

It wasn't me!

Hey!

It's not like that.

I can explain how…

Oh, my soles…

Hey, why are you guys so late…

What's wrong? What happened?

You got hurt?

Did you ever feel so wronged you wanted to die?

That's how I feel right now.

"My hopes and dreams."

Did you all get the sheet?

Think about your goals and future aspirations.

They can be both personal and professional.

Write whatever comes to mind freely.

I did say "freely,"

but don't write down "conquering the planet and the universe."

"I have no dreams." I won't accept that either, okay?

-Okay. -Copy others' answers if you're stuck.

Now, get to it.

Let me see.

We're writing about dreams.

My dream?

Sa-rang, do you have a dream?

What do you think? No.

You don't either.

I do. I want to own a butcher shop.

I WANT TO OWN A BUTCHER SHOP

You're copying my dream? Shall we be business partners?

-I'll be the boss. -Okay.

-Deal. -What?

Your dream is just as pathetic as you.

Get up here, Seong-A.

I knew he'd call you up.

Gyeon-U, you too.

Read your answers out loud.

"My dream is to go to a college."

"I don't know what I want to study, but I want to go to a four-year college."

"I want to attend my high school graduation ceremony

and college entrance ceremony."

"I want to take a photo with a bouquet of flowers."

That's what I wrote.

Basically, all you want

is to graduate and go to college?

To be exact, I want to attend both ceremonies.

Do I have to choose one or the other?

Then I want to go to my graduation ceremony.

I was at a couple of entrance ceremonies but never at a graduation ceremony--

No, both are unacceptable.

Forget something everyone does in time.

Come up with something you need to work to accomplish, okay?

-But it does take work for me to graduate. -Next, Gyeon-U.

Something that takes work?

Okay.

"My dream is…"

Well…

-I'll change it to something else. -All right. Do that.

Get back to your seat.

Why is this seat still empty? Are they in the restroom?

That's Beom's seat.

He's not here yet.

Even our model student is causing trouble now?

I expected no less from you guys.

-There's always trouble, right? -Hey.

Why didn't you read your answer?

What did you write?

Don't…

AN ADULT

"An adult"? Your dream is to become an adult?

Give me that. I'll change it.

This isn't something that requires effort.

I'll change it.

I wonder how old Bong-su is.

That's a random question.

I'm thinking he could be younger than us.

That feels a bit…

Right. It's not nice.

Yo, Beom!

Why are you so late? I missed you.

Are you feeling that bad?

Rest up.

What? Did you call me?

Why was he late to school?

I don't know why.

A Suicide Ghost?

Where the heck did he go to now?

I'd like to throw some salt on him at least.

-Gyeon-U. -Yeah?

I need to do something. Can I let go of your hand?

Well…

No, you can't.

What? I can't?

No.

I mean…

I said I'd protect you.

To do that, I need to hold onto you.

You're blushing.

Who wouldn't blush after hearing something like that?

No, I don't think that's it.

I think you're coming down with something.

You have a fever.

What?

I'm done for.

Is it the punishment?

I see a wooden box about this big.

White cloth is keeping it shut, and you're carrying it on your back.

She's too good a shaman to have seen wrong.

"A wooden box"?

I see a wooden box about this big.

A wooden box.

White cloth is keeping it shut, and you're carrying it on your back.

"White cloth is keeping it shut"?

Tied with white cloth…

A wooden box tied with white cloth.

A coffin?

I can only save one of the two?

That's too cruel.

Why didn't you tell me?

Why didn't you tell me? Answer me.

Why didn't you tell me? Why did you keep it from me?

Why did you keep it a secret?

Why?

Why did you keep it a secret?

Why didn't you tell me?

Why did you keep it from me?

Why?

Why didn't you tell me?

Why…

My child…

My baby.

My baby is on my back

but is stuck inside a coffin and can't even touch me.

Mom, why didn't you tell me my baby was locked up in a coffin?

Why didn't you tell me?

Why?

Why did you keep it from me?

Why did you keep it a secret?

Why didn't you tell me?

Yeomhwa!

-Why didn't you tell me? -Yeomhwa.

-Why? -Yeomhwa!

-Why didn't you… -Yeomhwa.

-Why didn't you tell me? -Yeomhwa.

Why?

My baby…

On my back…

-On my back… -Yeomhwa.

Seong-A.

Let's just go home, okay?

No.

You'll lose your touch if you miss practice even for just a day.

You should train.

How can I train when you're so sick?

Let's go.

I'll go wash my face with cold water.

Okay.

No, wait…

Hey.

Did you have fun while I was gone yesterday?

Just how much fun did you have that she got so sick?

She's not sick.

-It's divine punishment. -Divine punishment?

Did the shaman do something wrong?

I don't know.

Don't worry. I'll take good care of her by her side.

How would you do that?

I'm with her right now, and you're in the mirror.

Gyeon-U.

Seong-A.

Would you look at that? She's in really bad shape.

Hey.

I'm not Gyeon-U.

This won't do. Let's go home, Seong-A.

Grave sins are followed by harsh punishment.

Do you think it hurts more to suffer yourself

or to watch your loved one suffer?

It's much more painful to watch a loved one suffer.

That's why

the heavens decided

to punish your child instead of you.

So that you would suffer.

To suffer as much as the evil you have committed.

I'll curse you until I die.

No. I'll curse you even in death.

I prayed to the heavens every day

to forgive you.

I will curse you.

It's a little too late, no?

I don't need it.

You said you'd curse me.

You'd need an item of mine to do that, remember?

I kept this on me every day for ten years, so the curse will work well.

Try your best.

We'll be back soon.

MO BEOM

Please, stop calling me.

Will you just…

Stop it.

Did you smash up the chocolate?

-Do you have someone to give yours? -This?

-Come on. -No way.

How about strawberry?

-Who is it? -It's a secret.

-No. -I want to try.

-I'll try it. -That's boring.

It's too rich.

-Add just half. -How about…

Melt it for now.

You turned it into a powder.

I'll do the rest.

-Get some rest. -But…

Hey.

Do you think that will fit in this?

I won't put it in that.

That box is too small for my work of art.

Bok-i never did as she was told.

She refused to listen to anyone

just like me.

Hey, Jin-ung.

-Are you actually crying? -Why are you crying?

Jin-ung.

I told you to stop crying over Do-yeon.

She was born before Bok-i.

She can't be Bok-i's reincarnation.

Who cares about that?

What matters is that I love and cherish Do-yeon.

I think you've actually gone crazy.

Sure.

I'm crazy.

I'm crazy for Do-yeon.

Stop crying!

It's okay.

Does anything here need crushing?

I'll crush everything for you.

That crazy idiot over there. Crush him for me.

Okay.

I swear,

I'll just smash everything.

Why's your phone vibrating so much?

Turn it off.

Hey.

Where are you going?

Why won't you reply?

After school, okay?

Come over right away.

Bring your friend from now on.

That kid, Ju-seung.

Why is one missing?

I can't.

Beom is in a very bad state.

What's the matter?

Let's go to the teachers' office and tell our teacher.

I can't explain. I have to do this.

I can't get involved with any ghosts.

Seong-A, we can't go in there.

Let's tell the teacher. Come with me.

Let's go.

Come, Seong-A.

I'm sorry.

-What's this? -Shoot.

Beom, come outside.

I know what you're thinking.

Will you open the door?

Beom, please open the door.

Seong-A, we should go.

Wait.

Hey.

You said you'd protect her.

You can't let her go to a Suicide Ghost by herself.

A Suicide Ghost?

Beom.

Don't entertain such thoughts.

That's not you.

It's just because

you're having a hard time.

Gyeon-U, don't entertain such thoughts.

Your grandmother would be sad

to see you like this.

I'm the problem.

I got Ju-seung dragged into this…

It'll be fine if I disappear.

I'm sorry…

for being the source of your unhappiness, Grandma.

That won't do, Seong-A.

Hold on tight, okay?

What?

Beom!

Put it down.

Guys…

-I'm sorry. -No, don't!

Let go!

Ears, eyes, mouth, nose.

Ghosts take over your senses in that order.

Yeongseol. You will share your tongue with them.

What's happening?

I can't speak.

Yeongbi.

You will smell ghosts.

Is this the smell of incense?

Even if you get involved with one,

you must never see nor shed blood.

If blood tarnishes you, there's no going back.

You would be neither alive nor dead.

That's what you'll face.

NURSE'S OFFICE

Gyeon-U. Are you okay?

Yeah. I feel better than I expected.

That's a relief.

You don't seem well, though.

What?

Oh, you're right.

I think I feel a bit better now.

"A bit"?

How well are you? Can you walk?

Yes.

Why are you so frail?

Are you sure you don't have to see a doctor?

Yeah.

I'm really okay.

By the way, when was the last time you went to archery practice?

Archery?

-About two, three days? -What?

That's not good. Let's go and practice.

No, don't be silly. You're not well. You can't go.

No, I'm really okay now.

You can't go.

See? I really am fine now.

That's cute, but it's still a no.

No, Seong-A.

That startled me.

When will you tell me the truth?

What?

What do you mean?

About Gyeon-U.

What about me?

Bong-su.

"Bong-su"? That came out of nowhere.

You're Bong-su.

What on earth are you saying, Seong-A?

When you were practicing…

You didn't do your routine hand gesture.

That's just…

You're not Gyeon-U. You're Bong-su.

Seong-A, you're scaring me.

Bong-su.

What happened to Gyeon-U?

Where is Gyeon-U?

I…

devoured him.

Yeomhwa plans to summon the Grim Reaper.

I want to live as a human.

Tell me how I can take over his body completely.

It's not like anyone would love you if you became human.

Are you two dating?

No, it's one-sided on my part. It's unrequited love.

You'll be kind to me?

Yes.

I'm Bae Gyeon-U.

Me, the person standing here is Bae Gyeon-U.

Gyeon-U, I'll get things back to normal.

Until then, please stay safe.

Don't you want to know how Heaven and Earth Fairy really feels?

See for yourself.
