NO TAIL TO TELL

Fortunately, you have no major injuries.

It's just some minor bruising.

-This way! -Okay.

If this had landed just a bit off,

it could've been much worse.

You really were quite lucky.

Maybe it's because you were doing a good deed.

I guess Heaven was watching over you.

Right, yes.

But…

they say the universe has no compassion.

You never know if you'll be this lucky again.

Pardon?

I'm just saying you should be careful.

I see.

Thank you.

Doctor?

What…

What are you doing? My gosh!

I thought you were in here.

No, I'm just coming back from outside.

What? But that man just finished a checkup with you.

-Si-yeol! -Where are you going?

Si-yeol!

Si-yeol!

Where is Si-yeol?

You looking for me?

People will think I'm actually dead.

Why are you calling out for me like that? I'm right here.

I seriously thought you were dead.

Were you scared?

Eun-ho.

You told me to worry.

You said I should worry about you!

I'm really okay, I swear.

Since when do you actually listen to what I say?

If you had died, I would've killed you myself!

You take worrying to a whole new level.

Are you okay? Did you get hurt?

They said I was lucky. Just a small scratch here.

You really scared me.

You should've been right there with me when I woke up.

Man, that really hurts.

Where were you?

I was getting the test results.

We're both perfectly fine.

Really? That's a relief.

Let's go.

Where to?

Where do you think? Home.

EPISODE 7 THE REVENGE OF MEMORY

What's with the mood?

This is so awkward. Why is he so quiet?

Oh… it's just that

you had a leaf on your head.

I see.

Okay.

What the hell? What's wrong with me?

Why am I so self-conscious?

He's just a human kid, still wet behind the ears.

Did you always look like this?

What?

Watch where you're going.

What… was that for?

-There was this bike behind you-- -Si-yeol!

You.

Don't walk so close to me anymore.

-Why? -Because…

Do I really have to spell it out?

Yes.

Well…

That's because…

Hey, check them out.

See? We're getting all these looks because of you.

Are you saying that's because of me?

Of course.

I feel bad that you ended up looking like that after saving me,

but you literally look like a beggar, minus the tin cup.

A beggar?

Hey, I almost died back there!

I'm saying that's how bad you look right now,

so don't walk so close to me.

That's not going to make any difference.

What?

I'm saying you don't look any better than I do.

Are you saying I look like that too?

I wasn't the only one in there. Obviously, you look just as bad as I do.

Oh no.

I barely have any clothes as it is.

I can't exactly walk around downtown in hiking gear either.

Given how things are,

let's go buy some clothes before we head home.

-Really? -Sure.

We don't know how long we'll be stuck like this,

so you're going to need some clothes.

Right.

I was actually thinking about it anyway.

Then,

can I grab a few other things while we're there?

-Yeah, sure. -Great, let's go!

Do you even know how much all this would cost?

We got your wallet back.

Yeah, but still.

I'm not even sure about my financial situation.

You said you were buying. Why are you backing out now?

I meant a few basic T-shirts and some jeans.

-Not all this high-end stuff-- -Once we're back, we'll both be rich.

Don't be cheap. Just swipe the card.

But…

This feels more like it. Why was I acting so weird?

He's just the same old Si-yeol.

Silk pajamas? At a time like this?

Just get a tracksuit you can wear to the store

and around the house.

Don't you know the importance of sleep quality?

What if I'm too tired to do anything right?

Don't you want your life back?

You're right. Sleep quality is very important.

Can't you just use cheap cucumber soap?

That smells good too.

-What? -Nothing.

Why am I even bothering?

You bought bath bombs when we don't even own a tub.

Fine, buy all you want.

There!

-A phone? -It's a pain not having one.

Mine's still stuck at Myohyangsan Mountain.

You don't even have anyone to call.

I'm going to be calling you.

Perfect. Let's get this one.

What? You want to buy this?

Why do we need such a giant TV for that tiny house?

I can't stand small screens.

Haven't you heard? The bigger the TV, the better.

How can a nine-tailed fox be so materialistic?

Like you said, who knows how long we'll be stuck like this?

Just swipe the card.

Excuse me, sir. It says you have insufficient funds.

See? I told you we're broke.

Let's just get a refund for everything.

Hey. Wait!

Damn it.

Hey, are you crazy?

Unbelievable.

What? Did you say something?

Oh no. Look at that. The tag fell off.

Hello.

HYEON WOO-SEOK SIGNING EVENT ONE MILLION COPIES SOLD

Thank you. You're so handsome.

-Can I get a photo? -Sure.

-You're so cool. -One second, please.

This is for you.

Thank you.

-Good luck! -Thanks.

Hi. What's your name?

What's this? Why do you carry something like this around?

Lee Yoon.

My given name is one syllable.

Last name Lee, first name Yoon.

My given name is one syllable.

Last name Lee,

first name Yoon.

You.

So, you remember me?

That was so long ago. You must have a good memory.

You bastard!

Hey, Woo-seok. Woo-seok!

Whoa… hey!

-Damn it! -Oh my gosh!

That hurts!

This is more like it.

-Unbelievable. -Home sweet home.

If you can even call this a home.

How did I get stuck with someone like her?

I only bought the essentials.

Seriously, what are we going to do now that we're out of money?

Do you even have a plan?

We can always make more money.

-Who? You? -Yes, me.

All you know is soccer. Do you have any other skills?

Are you serious?

I've lived for centuries. Do you think I've wasted that time?

I've got plenty of skills.

I'm good at everything I do, so don't you worry.

Can I really count on you?

Of course.

Ever heard of the term "hobby-rich"?

I've tried every single thing that looked even remotely fun.

You probably didn't know, but I even speak English.

Wait, you speak English?

I graduated from Yejeong Academy.

And that's not all.

From woodworking and coffee making to baking and knitting,

I've learned it all.

Supporting you would be a piece of cake.

I really want to believe you.

But I can't for some reason.

Anyway, even if your fate has changed, why are you so broke?

It's insane that one shopping trip emptied your entire account.

Yeah, you're right about that.

I may only be in the fourth division, but I've still been earning for a while.

It's not like I have a car or even a nice house.

Do I have a separate savings account somewhere?

I should look into it.

Trust me, squeeze someone hard enough, and they'll come up with the money.

There's always a way out.

I should just stop talking to you.

Anyway, tell me what the plan is from here.

What?

Don't tell me you're going to pull that false kindness stunt again.

What happened this time was just a total coincidence,

so we got to save those kids.

But we can't rely on flukes like that.

It wasn't a coincidence. It was fate.

I guess the ones above actually have a conscience.

Seeing how they're finally cooperating with us.

What are you talking about?

I'm saying everything is going well, so stop worrying.

How many young lives did we save today?

It had to be at least ten, right?

Yeah, I guess so.

The merit of saving just one life is beyond measure.

But saving that many children with their whole lives ahead of them

on the very first day we started doing good deeds?

It means Heaven is determined to help us.

You think so?

I'm sure of it.

We must have gained decades' worth of spiritual power today.

I bet she got the shock of her life while she was eating her greens

up on the mountain.

I don't think so.

-You scared me! -Jeez!

-When did you get here? -Just now.

It's different when it happens to me. I'll never get used to this.

Next time, knock before you come in.

Don't just pop up out of nowhere, okay?

-Okay. -Wait.

What do you mean, you don't think so?

Right, I just don't think things are going very well right now.

And I don't think Heaven is helping you at all.

What?

We haven't gained one bit of spiritual power.

That makes no sense. Are you sure about that?

It's exactly the same as yesterday.

Are you sure you're doing this right?

Why? What's the problem?

I don't know what's going on.

What?

Something's not right.

I don't know why, but this shouldn't be happening.

What do we do now, Si-yeol?

Man, I can taste blood.

Here.

Are you okay? Maybe you should go to the hospital.

I'm fine.

Hey, apologize to him right now before things get worse.

Apologize? Dad, don't you remember this guy?

Don't you remember what happened to my life because…

What about your life?

Do you two know each other?

Well, you could say that.

It seems we're more deeply entangled than I thought.

Seeing how you reacted to that business card earlier.

I think we should talk in private.

Could you give us a moment?

I really should--

Dad.

Just step outside for a minute.

Jeez.

If looks could kill, man.

You've seen this before, haven't you?

This right here.

Your face tells me everything.

But this is just a fake I whipped up.

I was just curious to see your reaction.

What are you trying to say?

Just that…

if you're a client of that nine-tailed fox,

I have a favor to ask.

A favor?

You see, I've had a bit of a misunderstanding with her.

I can't keep avoiding her forever, so I want to talk things out.

I'd like you to act as a messenger between us.

Of course, I'll make it worth your while.

Why on earth would I do that?

I want to see your life ruined more than anyone.

Kang Si-yeol.

He must be a very close friend of yours.

I mean, think about it.

I didn't hit you, and I didn't ruin your life.

And you're still getting this emotional. Don't you think that's a bit much?

Watch your damn mouth.

You weren't actually doing this for me.

You just couldn't go back?

-Are you afraid I might get in the way? -You tell me.

I think you're fully capable of that.

What's gotten into you all of a sudden?

What are you doing?

This memory…

I found a way!

I don't think it's mine.

Why does this keep happening?

What memory?

You just couldn't go back?

Couldn't go back to what?

Are you afraid I might get in the way?

I might get in the way of something?

Did the nine-tailed fox mess with your memories?

Erase it.

No, wait--

I think so.

Why?

You're the client, and she erased your memory?

I don't know.

I think I found something out, and she thought I'd get in the way.

You found something out?

You mean like a weakness?

I don't know. I can't remember!

Okay, I get it. Calm down.

Then, if I help you recover those memories,

will you tell me what it was you found out?

I happen to know someone who can help with this.

I'm really curious.

What did you find out that she had to

go as far as erasing your memories?

What if I stay human and just die of old age?

Why isn't the power building up?

I've been thinking.

Yeah?

Maybe…

…the problem is your attitude.

What?

Think about it.

Going by what you said,

you must do good deeds to gain spiritual power.

But you tried to wait for someone to jump so you could save them.

You also tried to start a fire.

That kind of thinking shouldn't be the basis for doing good deeds.

You're starting to sound just as picky and petty as the ones above,

but this is different.

We saved children who were in actual danger.

Well, in hindsight, sure.

But I'm saying your mindset was wrong from the start.

So what's your point?

For starters,

how about we try doing good deeds by the book?

Do you know how long that will take?

It could take a hundred, even two hundred years.

Yet you expect me to waste my time picking up trash in some neighborhood?

That's not what I meant,

but we need to find out for sure

whether doing good deeds actually builds spiritual power or not

and if you can really build up that power for her.

Once we confirm that,

then we can find another way, be it fake or not.

Doesn't that make sense to you?

I guess.

Something undeniable.

Something we can do sincerely without cutting corners.

You know, that kind of good deed.

Like volunteer work, for example.

Volunteer work?

What would be good?

Right, something like that.

FOREVER CARE NURSING HOME

Are you here to do some volunteer work?

What, do you think I'm here to be looked after?

There's that attitude again. Watch it!

What kind of volunteer work are you--

You know, the hard stuff.

Ideally, something physical.

Hi, it's been a while.

I'm sorry, do I know you?

Please come this way.

Do you know her?

No, I've never seen her before.

Whatever, let's just go.

It's just cloth, for crying out loud! How is it so heavy?

Because it's wet.

I know that.

Stop complaining and put some effort into it.

That's the only way all this work will mean anything.

Here.

Hey, wait.

So? Do you feel the spiritual power building up?

I don't know.

What if I work myself to the bone and leave empty-handed again?

Let's just wait and see.

Try to have a better attitude, okay?

I'm trying.

Why are these clothes so uncomfortable?

For how expensive they are, they're more trouble than they're worth.

It's not the clothes' fault.

Who wears something like that to a place like this?

It's because I only have clothes like these.

I have a lot to say about that,

but it won't do any good, so I'll just keep it to myself.

Still, in this day and age, at least we have these machines.

You wouldn't know, but back in the day,

we washed laundry at the creek and dried it in the sun.

That's how everyone lived.

So many years lived,

yet still so immature, Ms. Kim Ok-sun.

What?

Nothing.

Anyway, you should appreciate how easy life is now.

If I had to wash and dry these like the old days,

there's no way you could've made me do this.

What's wrong all of a sudden?

Talk about terrible timing.

Why did the dryer have to break today of all days,

when I'm working here?

Better than the washer breaking, don't you think?

Man, if that had happened,

we'd be in one of those red tubs like in some drama,

stomping on blankets together.

What, do you want to get in the tub with me or something?

What?

I thought you were doing that again. You know, flirting.

Jeez, where do you learn all this weird stuff?

Stop describing everything as flirting.

No need to be so serious. Just help me shake out this blanket.

How are those humans still so into each other

when they're already so old?

They look happy together.

What's it like? That "dating" thing humans do.

What?

Don't tell me you've never dated anyone either?

Don't be ridiculous.

I'm Kang Si-yeol. Do you think that'd even be possible?

I didn't ask who you were.

What I'm wondering is

how someone can love another person for that long?

No matter how great a human is,

you can always find flaws.

You're also bound to get tired of each other eventually.

I wouldn't know.

I've never really dated anyone for that long, actually.

See? I told you humans get boring.

No, that's not it.

You might find this very hard to believe,

but I'm always the one who gets dumped.

What?

After all that bragging?

Why?

I don't know. It's always the same reason.

They ask how I can prioritize soccer over them.

But what can I do? I'm a professional athlete.

Soccer has to come first.

Oh, forget it. I'm the idiot for even asking you.

But you said you've done everything in the human world.

How come you've never dated?

Because I knew a fox

who totally ruined her life by falling in love with a human.

I made myself a promise after seeing that.

I'll never love a human,

and I'll never become one.

I vowed to never live like her.

Not that any of that matters. Look at me now.

Oh, that's cold.

What was that for?

Don't act like it's all over.

I mean, the game isn't over yet.

Even if you're down two goals in the first half,

you just have to score three in the second half to win.

We may be struggling right now,

but we'll find a way and get back to how we were.

I never said we wouldn't.

I'm just saying because you look so down.

Come on. Let's finish hanging these blankets.

What was that for?

I'm older than you. Don't try to lecture me.

I'm not lecturing you. Stop it!

-Stop what? -Stop!

I'm serious!

Hey, you're getting the blankets wet!

So stay right there!

Wait!

Damn, what is…

What's with this place?

Is this really

Jang Do-cheol's house?

Yes, sir.

How can anyone live in a place like this?

This place is creepy.

-Are you sure this is the right place? -This is the last address on record, sir.

He doesn't really leave any traces behind.

What about his number? Doesn't he have a phone?

No, sir.

Seriously, where the hell is he hiding?

I finally found a lead, and now this.

Hey, wait for me!

Unbelievable.

Does anyone in the neighborhood know anything?

Well, I asked around.

Apparently, he moved here about ten years ago

and lived with his family for a while.

Family?

He had a family?

Yes, but apparently not long after they moved in,

his wife and daughter both died.

From what I heard,

they met a horrific end.

Really?

According to the neighbors,

his whole family was cursed

because he tried to refuse the shamanic calling.

Anyway, they said he's been a bit crazy ever since.

What was that? What is it?

Damn you. Seriously.

Forget that crap.

Just find out where that bastard is.

I need him right now.

-Let's get out of here. -Mr. Lee.

My goodness! What happened?

I'm sorry.

I told you to dry the laundry, not soak it all over again.

What am I supposed to do now?

It's sunny out. It'll dry in no time.

-Hey! -What?

Anyway, good job today.

Go get something to eat. Unbelievable.

Okay. I'm so sorry.

Man, I told you to stop messing around.

Who told you to hide behind the blankets?

I didn't think you'd spray water there too.

Whatever. I'm starving, so let's go eat.

Hold on a second.

Have I gone crazy since becoming human?

I thought I was fine. Why is this happening again?

What do you think you're doing?

I can't go eat like this.

There's too much water to just shake off.

Wait, what's with my body?

What?

My body wasn't like this before.

How badly did I take care of myself?

Did I not work out properly?

Why? It looks good.

What?

Nothing.

Just put your shirt back on. Have some decency.

Wait. Let me just wring out the water.

I said put it back on already!

-What's wrong with you? -Put it on!

Si-yeol?

What… was he doing?

Me? I didn't do anything!

Si-yeol, we're in a nursing home.

Are you crazy? There are old people everywhere!

I know how this might look, but it's not like that.

See? I told you to put your shirt back on!

How shameless could you be, stripping down in public?

Don't you guys get any ideas. It's not like that!

Hey, what are you guys looking at?

Come on. Aren't you going to introduce us?

What do you mean?

Fine, whatever.

She's my girlfriend.

What?

What?

How else should I explain it to them?

They barge into my house all the time.

We live together, remember?

-You live together? -Since when?

I guess it won't be for long anyway.

Pardon? What does that mean?

What won't be for long?

Si-yeol, are you getting married?

What?

Please. Nobody's getting married.

Are you?

Sure, we're getting married too.

That's taking it too far.

That's too far?

-Just eat your food. -I didn't know.

You jerk. I didn't know you had it in you!

You're the worst, Si-yeol.

Anyway, what are you guys doing here?

What are you talking about?

They're our team's main sponsor.

You know we come here regularly.

As part of our required community service.

-I see. -But today,

they said someone already did all the heavy lifting.

So there's not much for us to do.

It just worked out that way.

Wait. Was it you who did all the heavy lifting?

You didn't come to see your grandma?

Grandma? Which grandma?

Your grandmother.

Your own grandmother.

What?

My grandma who passed away?

-What? -Wait.

Who passed away?

My grandma.

What?

What?

There!

Now, what do we have here?

There we go!

Man, I'm on a roll! The cards are just going my way.

You're good at this, Coach.

I came by to give you some pocket money since it's been a while,

but my luck just won't let me.

Should I go easy on you?

Now, that wouldn't be right.

-There. -Look at that!

Let's see.

Here.

Gosh, I'm in trouble.

-Oh my. -You brat.

Don't just stand there. Come on in.

Grandma?

Look who's here. My grandson.

Go on.

It really is my grandma.

What's wrong?

Did something happen?

Tell me.

Oh my.

Grandma.

There, there.

I don't drink stuff like this.

Just hold on to it then.

I just didn't want to drink alone.

What are you doing, scaring her like that?

I just…

It's just that--

If it's about her nursing home bills…

I kept your name on the team roster for now.

So the team sponsor's hospital discount

should still be good for a while.

Just so you know.

Don't you dare get the wrong idea.

It's not like I'm sitting around waiting for you to come back.

It's just because of your grandma.

I'm only doing this for her sake.

You're full of surprises.

I thought you hated me

ever since I was young.

I do hate you, you punk.

I haven't liked you since you were a kid, not even a little,

and nothing's changed.

Guess we feel the same way then.

Jeez, this little brat.

This actually tastes good after all this time.

Grandma.

Is it getting harder for you to move around?

That's just part of getting old.

It's actually easier here since they take care of everything for me.

Nothing else is bothering you?

No, I'm fine.

Is something not working out the way you wanted?

What?

It's okay not to try so hard.

It's not okay, Grandma.

I'm barely scraping by in the fourth division.

Sometimes life is like that.

Things don't always go the way you want them to.

You're right.

Life really doesn't go the way you want it to.

What's wrong now?

In my original life and in this one,

I can't seem to give you the life you deserve.

-Stop that. -But it's true.

When I had money, you weren't around.

And looking at my life now,

I probably haven't even been able to take you on a trip abroad.

I don't care about any of that.

All the other grandmothers here are actually envious of me.

Why? What are they envious of?

They're envious because my grandson is so sweet and visits often.

And besides, I tell them

that my grandson has taken me to every corner of the country.

When I show them the pictures, they get so jealous.

I… did that?

Of course.

You took me to see the flowers when they bloomed,

to the water when it got hot,

and to the mountains to see the vibrant autumn leaves.

Then, when it got cold,

you took me to the hot springs.

Here, look at this.

This was when we went to Yeosu.

MYEONGDONG DAK-GALBI ALLEY

And this was when we went to Chuncheon for some dak-galbi. Goodness.

You wandered off, and I looked everywhere for you.

And this was when we went to Pocheon.

You remember the prehistoric site with the cavemen doing this?

We did that together.

He's a grown man. Why was he crying like that?

He startled me.

Gosh, you scared me!

-It's you, right? -What?

It is you.

I know everything.

I know this is all your fault!

What?

Die, die, die!

Sir, what are you doing?

Get off me!

I am so sorry.

I'm truly sorry.

Are you all right?

As you can see, I'm not dead.

Though he nearly killed me.

You must've been so scared.

That's not the issue here.

She could've been seriously hurt!

I'm so sorry.

But why did he attack her all of a sudden?

That looks painful.

Sir.

Why on earth did you do that?

What?

Me? What did I do?

Never mind.

He's usually such a gentle man.

Well, my father-in-law isn't as stable as he used to be.

He's been showing symptoms of dementia for a few years.

He doesn't even recognize us.

I see.

But nothing like this has ever happened before.

I'm so sorry.

I'm Hwang Dong-sik's son.

I'm sorry for being late. I only just heard the news.

Hwang Dong-sik?

I'm very sorry about my father.

Are you badly hurt?

Your face looks so familiar.

THIRTY YEARS AGO

Hey.

I think I remember now.

You look just like that old man did back then.

Forget it. You can leave now.

-Still-- -Didn't you come to apologize?

You apologized, and I accepted it.

So we're done.

Si-yeol, I'm tired. Let's go home.

Okay.

Is she okay?

Why is she in such a foul mood?

KANG SI-YEOL'S ACCOUNT

For crying out loud.

I'm flat broke. Is this really all I have left?

I can barely survive a month with this.

This is so frustrating.

What's that smell?

What are you doing?

Oh, hey.

Just wait a bit. It's almost ready.

Why did you get pork shoulder? I prefer pork belly.

Just eat what you're given.

What? Why is this so good?

Is it good?

It's been a while since I cooked, so I wasn't sure about the taste.

Not bad.

Since you had money, I thought you'd just have people cook for you.

You really do have a knack for backhanded compliments.

You've been sighing since yesterday about having no money.

Why the sudden feast?

Well, I've always wanted to try

grilled meat with soju.

Plus, you seemed a bit down.

Me?

That's right.

Now that you mention it,

I think my mood is actually pretty rotten.

Is it related to the ones above again?

Yes.

Man, those guys.

If they have something to say, they should just say it clearly.

Why are they always sending such cryptic signals?

Actually,

the message was fairly clear this time.

Really?

What's the message?

That I've lived my life wrong.

I think that old man earlier was a client of mine.

His face looked familiar.

A client?

What did you do to him to make him act like that toward you?

Who knows? I've had plenty of clients just pass through.

It's not like I remember every single one of their stories.

But I'm sure he has a reason to hold a grudge against me.

I see.

Having been through it myself, I'm not exactly surprised.

What?

So, is that why you've been feeling so low?

When I first became human,

I wondered why my reward for good deeds was a life like this.

But I guess this is just their way of punishing me.

They forced me to become human when I never wanted to,

shoved past misdeeds I don't even remember right in my face,

and now they probably want me to reflect on them.

I am sorry about all this.

You're getting punished along with me,

even though I caused this mess.

I don't know about that.

I don't see it that way at all.

What?

The anniversary of my grandma's death was a few days ago.

I see.

You know,

I always used to say that I'd spoil her when I made it big.

But she collapsed during my first season in Europe.

She was all alone,

so by the time she was found, she was already gone.

When you made this switch happen,

I thought that everything that was precious and important to me

had vanished.

I was wrong, though.

What I'm saying is…

you don't have to feel so sorry for me.

I don't feel like I'm being punished.

We're going to go back to the way things were anyway.

So once all of this is over and behind us,

I think I'll remember this moment like a special dream.

When I think of it like that,

even the bad or uncomfortable parts

feel like a unique vacation.

"A special dream"?

More like a nightmare.

What about you?

Was there really nothing good about becoming human?

What?

Nothing at all?

No, there is something.

That's a relief.

What is it?

You.

Maybe it's because I'm human now,

but my heart keeps racing for no reason whenever I look at you.

I guess this is what humans call romantic feelings.

What?

Si-yeol, I think I need to date you.

NO TAIL TO TELL

-Open wide. -What are you doing?

How about a date today?

I think I finally know what we have to do.

Do you want to win?

I'll make sure you move up to the third division.

-Dad! -How about it?

Do you remember now?

Where is the chairman right now?

So, fixing the misdeeds you committed in the past

is the will of Heaven?

Does it look like I'm here to negotiate?
