Original subtitles

What do you want from me?

How much

can you trust me?

It's time for me to break off all ill-fated relationships.

I can't stand Cho Gwan-ung's tyranny and evil deeds

any longer.

Is this your own will?

Yes, Commander.

It's my own will.

Then promise me one thing.

No matter what happens,

promise me you won't kill anyone in the name of revenge.

Commander.

I will deal with Cho Gwan-ung by the military law.

And his men will be punished

fairly as well.

Do not take any person's life due to hatred or anger. If you do,

you'll be no different from Cho Gwan-ung.

Can I count on you

to keep this promise?

Yes, Commander.

My goodness!

Are you all right, Father? Did you get hurt?

I'm okay.

Kang-chi.

Kang-chi. Lady Yeo-ul.

This is intense.

Are you all right?

Yes, I'm fine.

We're running out of time.

The commander may have arrived at the yard already.

Did the commander come, too?

We've decided to be done with Cho Gwan-ung today.

Because everyone is going there,

-you-- -That's good.

Actually, I've been wanting to kick him in the face.

No, you should go and stay at the training center with your father.

You were tied up for the whole night. You must be very exhausted.

You just got kicked, and yet you are saying that?

I'm perfectly fine.

Yeo-ul.

I want to stay with you.

Being done with Cho Gwan-ung will be a historic moment.

I want to be there as well.

Can I please go, Kang-chi?

It has been fun because of you.

Goodbye, Commander.

You can't say goodbye just yet.

Do you remember what I said before?

I said I would come and get the Century House back.

That day has come.

It's today, Cho Gwan-ung.

Goodbye,

Choi Kang-chi.

No!

Kang-chi.

Kang-chi.

Yeo-ul.

Yeo-ul.

Yeo-ul.

Kang-chi.

Yeo-ul.

Don't...

Don't go anywhere.

Lady Yeo-ul.

-Lady Yeo-ul. -Lady Yeo-ul.

Damn it.

Go die.

You bastards

should all

die.

Kang-chi.

Kang-chi!

Do not take any person's life due to hatred or anger.

No matter what happens,

promise me you won't kill anyone in the name of revenge.

But he deserves to die.

He isn't worthy to live at all.

I will kill this one

with my own hands.

Once you start taking lives,

you won't be able to stop.

Don't do this, Kang-chi.

Kang-chi.

-Lady Yeo-ul. -My lady.

Kang-chi.

Yeo-ul.

Yeo-ul.

We have to take her to a doctor, Kang-chi.

Okay.

No!

No one gets out of here.

None of you

will leave here alive.

Cut off their heads!

Step back!

I can't stand any more of your villainy.

Officer Jung.

Listen, Cho Gwan-ung, you traitor.

You stole innocent people's property

by framing them as traitors.

You've leaked military and state secrets, and even sold them.

And you also attempted to murder me, the commander of Left Jeolla Province.

All the crimes I stated are very serious and heinous.

Therefore, I will arrest you here,

following military law.

How dare...

How dare you do that to me?

To cut off the enemy's head,

I have risked my life.

I'm sure you also risked your life when you were trying to kill me.

What will you do?

Will you die here?

Or will you put down your sword and surrender?

Is the deadline the commander gave three days from today?

That's right.

If so, we need to get ready to leave by tomorrow.

Protect His Lordship.

Protect His Lordship with your lives.

Don't let them escape.

Catch them all.

-Yes, sir! -Yes, sir!

Yeo-ul.

What do you mean?

Lady Yeo-ul got shot by a matchlock?

Yes. According to what I've heard,

she's badly hurt.

Oh, dear. Poor Lady Yeo-ul.

What on earth is a matchlock?

I've never seen it in person.

But from what I've heard,

it shoots a lump of metal using gunpowder

and it damages a person's bones and flesh.

Those who get shot by its bullet eventually die.

Are you saying Lady Yeo-ul might die?

What should we do?

Her doctor said

there is not much time left for her.

Father, I want to learn how to use a sword.

Why?

Somebody got hurt because of me.

I couldn't do anything. I just kept crying.

So?

To prevent anyone else from getting hurt because of me,

I have to become stronger.

So I want to learn how to use a sword.

It happened after all.

After all.

So please tell me how to save Yeo-ul.

You are a monk. You must know something.

Teach me a secret. I will do anything you tell me.

There are no secrets when it comes to a human's fate.

She didn't avoid the fate she was supposed to avoid.

So she paid the price.

Still, there must be something I can do.

I have the blood of a mystical creature.

I already told you.

Saving someone's life with your blood only works once per person.

Yeo-ul is dying.

That's how fate is. What can we do about it?

All you can do is accept it.

Is there really...

Is there really no other way?

Go and stay by Lady Yeo-ul's side.

That's the best you can do for now.

Kang-chi, you're here.

Instructor Gon was looking for you.

Why?

He took some trainees with him and went into the woods.

He said he would kill Cho Gwan-ung himself.

I think people from the training center and the naval forces are in the forest.

-My lord. -Where is

Seo?

Ask him.

I will follow his decision.

Cho Gwan-ung, you bastard!

Protect His Lordship.

Choi Kang-chi.

What are you doing?

Kill him right now.

Get rid of him.

What are you waiting for?

Cut off his head!

If you don't want to die,

you better throw down your sword and run away.

What?

Just try coming closer to me.

I will cut your throat.

Do you really want to die?

Does that hurt?

It's nothing compared to the pain

you've caused us.

What? Did His Lordship get arrested?

He sold the state secrets to the Japanese.

He was tied up and taken to the Left Naval Headquarters

a while ago.

He got his hand cut off when he was getting arrested.

Did you hear the news?

Bi-jo got arrested.

I'm on my way to Madam Cheon.

I want you to get out of my way.

Yeo-ul.

Kang-chi.

Did you sleep well?

Yes.

Why? Do you feel uncomfortable?

Does it hurt a lot?

Can you

help me up?

You should keep lying down.

Help me up.

Are you all right?

Yeo-ul.

I'm okay.

I'm really okay.

What about my father?

He's worrying so much, isn't he?

Yes.

He came here and left just a while ago.

I feel sorry for my father.

So hurry up and get better.

It will be fine then.

Okay.

I...

I have three wishes, Kang-chi.

Will you grant my wishes?

Master,

Yeo-ul wanted to have dinner with everyone.

Is that true?

Instructor Gon also went through such days?

Of course, he did.

When he first learned sword fighting,

he was very slow.

What? Really?

I can't imagine it.

Besides, he was shorter than me until we were ten.

But since I've turned eleven, I've been taller than her.

Gon is also a picky eater.

My lady.

He's picky about food?

What kind of food does he not like?

Carrots.

Carrots?

He doesn't like carrots, Tae-seo.

Do you not like carrots either, Young Master?

It's not like I hate them. I just don't care about them.

Now, come to think of it, Tae-seo and Gon, they're somewhat similar.

Both of them aren't flexible.

Gongdal, did you say I'm not flexible?

I'm not that narrow-minded.

He's probably talking about me.

Why are you not flexible, Gon?

I've never seen anyone as open-minded as him.

People who are open-minded are not picky eaters.

You can't say that just because he doesn't eat carrots, Yeoju.

I agree.

Yeo-ul.

Let's go back to your room.

I wouldn't be good if you tire yourself.

I want

to stay a little longer.

Go inside and have some rest.

-Father. -It's time

for you to rest.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Father.

I'm sorry, Father.

You're...

my greatest happiness, Yeo-ul.

Kang-chi.

Look after Yeo-ul.

Please.

Yes,

Master.

Kang-chi.

Can I

tell you

my second wish?

What is it?

I want to go for a walk.

Go for a walk?

This late at night?

Yes.

Just

the two of us.

I want to

ask you something.

What is it?

Why are you afraid of giant spiders?

It's because

they have so many legs.

Really? Is that really why you're scared of them?

Yes.

Why? Can't I be scared of them?

No, you can be.

I also have a question for you.

What is it?

Do you still remember it?

Do you remember me telling you

that I would make you my bride?

If I were to ask you

the same thing now,

what would you say?

When

did you

say that?

From the moment I found out you were Dam Yeo-ul.

Then why

didn't you say anything about it?

Because you

had already begun to mean something more to me.

So, Yeo-ul,

will you

marry me?

Even though

I can't cook?

Will you

marry me?

And

my sewing

is terrible.

Will you

marry me?

Don't cry, Kang-chi.

I don't

want to be

a sad memory for you.

I want to be a happy one.

I want

to be laughter to you,

not tears.

When you remember me,

I want you to be happy.

That is

my third wish.

No matter what,

let's meet again.

Okay.

I will wait for you.

Let's meet again.

Okay.

I love you.

I love you.

If we meet again,

then

I will recognize you first.

If we meet again,

then

I will...

love you first.

Yeo-ul.

Yeo-ul.

Yeo-ul.

Yeo-ul.

Yeo-ul.

And like that,

the sound of her breathing stopped.

And

at that moment,

my time stopped.

Lady Yeo-ul.

TRAINING CENTER

I knew you would be here.

It still

doesn't feel real.

Yeo-ul isn't here anymore.

I know.

She laughed and cried until a few days ago,

and now she's gone.

Where on earth did she go?

Where did she disappear to?

Now, I can't even find her.

And I can't see her.

Death is,

perhaps,

much more

meaningless and vain than we think.

I wonder if Yeo-ul would be still alive

if it weren't for me.

Would she still be living

happily?

If I had to choose between

living 100 years alone

or living only 100 days with the person I love,

I would choose

to live only 100 days with my loved one.

Yeo-ul was happier than anyone else because of you.

That's enough, isn't it?

Let's go out now. Everyone is waiting for you.

Okay.

TRAINING CENTER

Thank you for everything.

Are you going to find the Gu Family Book?

No.

I'm going to spend some more time living as a mystical creature.

Until I meet another person I want to grow old with,

I am going to wait.

You should eat this

when you feel weak.

This is my miracle drug.

Thanks, Gongdal.

And this is like a keepsake,

which proves that you are my disciple.

Please keep this

along with my lessons.

Yes, Gongdal.

Father.

I understand you, even if you don't say anything.

Just stay safe.

Yes, Father.

Will you

drop by sometimes?

Yes, I will.

From now on, you'll keep this.

Don't ever break that sword.

Take good care of it.

Yes,

Master.

Take care, Kang-chi.

I will.

Until we meet again.

Okay.

I will go now.

Goodbye, Choi Kang-chi.

Goodbye,

my friend.

There's a proverb.

-What? -It says that a person's first love

makes them grow,

and their last love completes them.

Now, it looks like

Kang-chi has been completed.

Who are you?

It's me, my lord.

Are you Cheong-jo?

I thought I should pour you

a drink before you die, Master Bi-jo.

What do you mean?

Now,

you should end your nasty life.

Why

are you showing me mercy?

This is not mercy.

I just want to kill you myself.

Pour me

another one.

It was a boring life.

It was

very boring and tedious.

It wasn't because I was greedy.

I just

wanted

to feel I was alive.

Commander.

Are you leaving?

After what happened at the Century House,

they won't leave me alone, even for a moment.

I would do the same.

So where are you off to?

Well, I'm not sure.

Is there no destination in mind?

That's right, my lord.

I see.

There's no real answer to what life is when you live as a human.

You just try to be a better person.

Don't be defeated by fear.

If you are confident that you are doing well,

it will make you stronger.

Yes, my lord.

You are

the warmest and the most just

among all the people

I have met in my life.

If anything happens to you,

light a signal fire at the North beacon mound.

I'll go and help you.

I want

to ask you one thing.

What is it?

Do you think

that the Gu Family Book really exists?

If you believe in becoming a human,

then it must exist.

SURPRISING RED GINSENG DRINK MADE BY FERMENTATION SCIENTIST

INCOMING CALL YOO YEON-SEOK

INCOMING CALL YOO YEON-SEOK

INCOMING CALL YOO YEON-SEOK

What happened to you?

You're the main star of today's anniversary party.

Be here in ten minutes. If you don't show up in ten minutes--

This is

the 5,221st crescent moon I'm seeing alone.

I'm sorry.

And this is 422th...

President.

Mr. Choi.

Here it is.

I had the car ready for you.

Let's go then.

You're here, sir.

Good job, Eok-man.

You're doing this again.

My name is Gi-bang, sir.

I'm Kim Gi-bang, not Eok-man.

Yes, that's right.

I became forgetful after living for so long.

Take care, sir.

Are you kidding me? You're even younger than me.

The world changed so quickly,

and the way that people live has changed so drastically.

And the history they remember changed as well.

Please spare me!

No, I didn't hear it.

I heard it wrong.

Please spare me!

Spare me!

Please spare me.

What are you saying?

Did I tell you that I would kill you?

Why do you keep asking me to spare you? I feel bad.

Get away from me!

-Oh, my! -Get away from me!

I want to leave, too.

I'm very busy.

So just pay me back the interest of what your brother borrowed from me.

Why are you asking me to pay what my brother owes you?

Am I a pushover? Am I?

He's your brother, isn't he?

Look at this!

Did you buy

cosmetics and an expensive phone with the money you borrowed?

What is this?

Isn't this a designer bag?

Hey, give it back.

No way!

-Give it back! -Go get it.

-Give it back! -Go get it.

-Give it back! -Reach for it!

Who are you?

Ma Bong-chul?

And Yeoju.

What?

Who's Ma Bong-chul?

Are you still taking people's money?

You've been reborn, and yet you're still the same.

What is this bastard saying?

Give it back to me!

When I count to three, you should already be gone, okay?

One.

Two.

What? You bastard!

Three.

Damn it.

Hey!

Don't move!

Raise both of your hands at once!

Run!

You bastard!

Give me my bag!

-Hey! -I said don't move.

You seem to be mistaken.

I was...

Don't move!

Yeo-ul.

What?

How do you know my name?

Do you know me?

If we meet again,

then

I will recognize you first.

If we meet again,

then

I will love you first.

Do you

know me?

Well,

maybe I do.

Maybe not.

The time which had stopped

began to flow once again.

Who's...

You are...

May I go inside for a while?
