Mama Fairy and Woodcutter

I think I found my winged robe.

Thanks to you.

Miss Fairy.

Will you go up to the celestial sphere?

I heard from Jeom Soon before.

That you grew up in the celestial sphere since you were little.

So that's pretty much your hometown and you longed for everything there.

It's true.

I miss it so much.

Don't go, Miss Fairy.

Please don't go.

Although I did get back my memory as your husband,

now I am not as dashing as the old Destruction Army Star

and my personality is so dull and boring that people call me a sweet potato.

I have a poor sense of direction and I lack tact as well.

At the university, since I'm still a researcher, I don't make much money.

I do think it's wrong to cling to someone so pretty and charming as you, Miss Fairy.

But still, ...

for me, Miss Fairy ...

You are perfect!

Just as you are now.

♫ Forget everything and You just smile. ♫

♫ If you and I can smile together ♫

♫ In the lost dream which was lost and couldn't be found ♫

♫ Don't hesitate ♫

After that day, not long after,

Miss Fairy returned to the celestial sphere with Jeom Dol.

Final Episode

After leaving my hometown, I came to this remote place, and it's been 30 years.

I married Eun Nyeon. We were not blessed with any children

but we lived a loving and cozy life.

I do think about Young Master, from back then, once in a while.

I wonder if he is happy and peaceful.

I assume that Young Master has forgotten all about me.

Pfft. That rotten nobleman.

I heard that he forgot you a long time ago, and he lived a great life.

How would a wandering stranger like you know?

Oh, are you perhaps Young Master?

Gosh, your vision is quite dull.

Aigoo, Young Master. What has happened to you?

I barely managed to find out where Mother had sent you away to.

I was only curious to know where you lived.

I have seen that you are alive, so this is all I need. Then...

Young Master, you should at least have a bit of soup and rice before you go.

Allow me to serve you some dried yellow corvina.

Completion Celebration for 'Young Master's Secret Window Paper' [Jeom Soon the Tiger] Author's Signing Event

We will begin the celebration for the completion of 'Young Master's Secret Window Paper,' with Author Jeom Soon the Tiger's signing event.

Yes.

Ahjussi, they are all women because of you.

There are a lot of women readers, aren't there?

Jeom Soon, you should have stopped eating meat and revealed yourself as the author.

Ahjussi, do you think quitting meat is easy to do?

What?

- Author? - Yes?

Ah, shall we begin?

Yes.

- Hello. - Hello.

Jeom Soon The Tiger

Thank you.

Oh.

Please give me a cat paw print, please.

Professor Lee, what brings you here?

What do you mean? I came to get the author's autograph. Hurry and give me a paw print.

Jeom Soon's paw print?

Jeom Soon's autograph, I love it so much.

Ah, hold on, Kim Kim.

- You want to take a photo? - Yes.

I want to send it to someone.

A long winter has passed, and spring has come.

The summer passed, too, and it was autumn again.

Thank you.

Mr. Wizard.

Hello, I came to buy coffee.

Oh, Kim Kim, you're here.

Yes. You're wearing a tiger print jacket, Mr. Kaldi.

Yes, I bought this at Rainbow Fashion nearby.

The owner told me that this is a new item, very hot (popular).

It looks good on you.

Doesn't it? Which coffee do you want?

Moonlight Elegance, You Can't Do That, Princess, Deer's Tears

and Dark Water.

Oh my god, who wants Dark Water?

Exchange Celestial Being from Ethiopia, the god of coffee, Mr. Kaldi.

He is the teacher who taught Fairy Seon Ok Nam about coffee.

Coffee Shop for Sale / Location: Galaxy, Solar System, Earth, Korea, Seoul, Yiwon University / No Fees /

Clean and Quiet, Room and Board in Treehouse above Shop, Next to Library

I better buy this.

Mr. Kaldi appeared the next day like the wind and took over the coffee truck.

Those who drank Mr. Kaldi's coffee would briefly achieve a state of Moksha (enlightenment in Hinduism)...

I apologize for insisting that I was more handsome than you.

When I said I was cute until age 7, that was actually a lie.

... they would realize their past errors and only speak the truth.

(TN: Kaldi was an Ethiopian goatherd who discovered coffee in 850 A.D.)

1st Place, Noona 2nd Place, Lee Mina, class of 17 3rd Place, Convenience Store Noona

- Here is the coffee. - Thank you.

But Kim Kim, what happened to Ok Nam?

It's still 'not yet'?

I'm sure she will come.

You say she's coming every day, and it's already been one year.

Miss Fairy waited for me for 699 years.

And it will be her 700th anniversary, so I'm sure she will come.

Yes, next time come visit me with Ok Nam.

I will brew you some amazing coffee.

Yes, thank you.

Be well.

She promised to return soon

but four seasons have already passed.

One day in the celestial sphere is one year in the human world.

So Miss Fairy is spending just one day in the celestial sphere.

I certainly hope that she wouldn't stay there for 10 days... would she?

I miss you, Miss Fairy.

And Professor Jeong Yi Hyeon quit school after that incident.

He's providing volunteer medical services on remote islands or researching contagious viruses in the remote mountains.

I heard various rumors of this kind, but I don't know how he is doing...

At such an important moment...

Aigoo, Professor, why do you look like that?

We're just shoveling some manure.

This is all I have to wear.

Poo!

When Professor Jeong Yi Hyeon left the university

Professor Lee Ham Sook was unexpectedly calm.

The reason that Professor Lee Ham Sook was able to be calm is ...

Please save him. Please, please.

I'm not a bad person.

Please save him.

You see, I have no intention at all to hurt you, young lady.

Aigoo, I might be the one to die.

Please save him. Please save him now.

So unfair. This is so unfair.

Professor Lee.

Thank you for being alive.

You are well. You are unhurt.

Thank you. Thank you.

What's with you?

Are you cursing and giving thanks at the same time?

Ham Sook, why did you come here?

And why do you look like this? Why are you crying?

Hey, what's with you? What's with you?

What is with you?

Are you going to hug me or beat me? Do just one thing at a time.

Hey, don't beat me, okay? That hurts.

I won't ask you to love me or anything.

Just be healthy and stay alive.

That was what the pain of losing someone is like.

She felt that pain for a moment.

Why are you so excited today, Sunbae Geum?

He is always excited, every day.

We could even report him on TV.

- "A man who is excited every day". - Am I really like that?

Am I really like that?

Every day you say that today may be the day that your girlfriend comes.

So where is this girlfriend of yours?

Before that, Hyung, who was your girlfriend, after all?

Girlfriend. I like that word, girlfriend.

That dummy.

I'll be going. See you tomorrow.

Hey, eat this.

Is this a restaurant, not a lab? Noona, you have amazing instincts.

you have amazing instincts.

I am grateful for even the smell of chicken. But to eat chicken...

It's good.

What is this?

Do you like me?

Why are you looking at other people's things?

Just say it.

I don't want to.

Just say it. "I am being serious."

Yiwon University, List of People who Suck

Die! Just die!

Oh, isn't Jeom Soon coming?

Ahjussi.

Oh, Jeom Soon.

Finally?

After Miss Fairy went to the celestial sphere

Jeom Soon abstained from eating meat

but relented after three weeks, and ate two pounds of fried pork belly.

So she had to spend all summer hiding in the storage room of the Fairy Café as a tiger.

Oh, if you had transformed just a few days earlier

you could have signed the books yourself at the book Completion Celebration.

It's all right, I'm just happy that I'm back.

Oh, I'm so excited. I love it.

Ahjussi, isn't this totally daebak?

Wow, it's really like a foreign country. What nice atmosphere.

Don't look at the atmosphere, look at the food.

There is so much food that I want to eat.

Jeom Soon, isn't it dangerous for you to eat sausage today?

What are you saying? We have to run towards it.

- Here. - Thank you.

Uh, excuse me?

Why is the sausage smaller than it was last year?

Oh, you were here last year, too?

This year, the sausages have become smaller but it is 100% homemade,

so the taste will be even more special.

But it is so much smaller. It doesn't look special.

So you like big sausages. But just because something is big, it doesn't mean that it's tasty.

The big ones are more tasty to me.

It really doesn't taste special at all.

What's wrong, Jeom Soon?

I am the cook and the chef.

Don't you know me?

I even went on a cooking show and competed.

Thomas Kim?

Who is that friend of Wizard Park?

Right, he looks like Choon Bae Ahjussi.

Choon Bae? Not Joon Bae? (country bumpkin name)

I wasn't going to say this, but

you, too, seem like a Jeom Soon (country bumpkin name).

I even thought that your name might be Gap Soon.

What did you say?

How does my face look like a Jeom Soon?

Jeom Soon.

Oppa Gyeong Sool?

You are a Jeom Soon, after all.

Has it been a year now? This feels weird.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Jeom Soon's ex-boyfriend

who was also her first boyfriend, Gyeong Sool...

He was traumatized by the events of that day, last year,

and suffered from aphasia* for a while. (*loss of ability to understand or express speech, caused by brain damage)

So he went to see Professor Lee Ham Sook.

What are you doing?

Professor Lee Ham Sook...

I shot hidden video footage of you.

What?

I shot hidden video footage of you.

I did wrong. I didn't realize it was such a bad thing at the time.

What are you doing? Speak. Can't you speak?

At first, I felt guilt because I was lying. But when people accepted it without question, I felt a strange pleasure.

Professor...

Professor, you were the first person who accepted me as I was

and really listened to what I had to say.

And having shown my false self to even you...

I was so awful...

Please forgive me.

When you keep doing bad things

after a while, you begin to lose your ability to sense

whether that thing is bad or not.

So

I want to receive forgiveness from you.

For lying to you, and taking video of you in secret.

Please forgive me.

Here. Let Eom Gyeong Sool's sins be absolved.

Eat this.

But hasn't someone already been eating this?

If you don't want it, never mind. I gave it to you because it tastes special.

No, no, I'll eat it.

I guess she is at an age when her friends are more fun.

Jeom Soon is not coming, is she?

Miss Fairy,

I miss you so much.

- Father? - Jeom Dol?

Teacher Geum!

Miss Fairy.

I have returned.

Father? I returned in one day.

I am sorry to ask this, but can you help me get up?

Father?

Ahjussi, how can you leave ahead?

I think I circled Hangang Park about 50 times

looking for you, Ahjussi. I am pretty mad at you, so I want beef jerky...

Jeom Soon?

Huh? Mom?

Is it really you, Mom?

Yes, has my Jeom Soon been well?

Yes, Mom, you're finally back?

Yes, I returned with your older brother.

I think he was tired. He has been sleeping constantly since a while ago.

I have so many things I want to talk over with Oppa.

But Mom, today I went to Han River Park with Ahjussi.

Yes, Teacher Geum told me.

You even finished your novel while I was gone, and kept yourself busy, I heard.

You've been good, my Jeom Soon.

Miss Fairy,

Jeom Dol is so tired.

If you are all right with it, how about staying at my home while you are in Seoul?

I can stay in the living room or Professor Jeong's room.

We would be grateful, but what about Professor Jeong?

I see.

Until just recently, he was providing voluteer medical care in Africa.

I heard that he returned to Korea.

But Professor Lee Ham Sook only found out that information after asking around.

Even when I text him, he doesn't respond.

I'm sure he will contact you when the time is right.

I believe that, too.

Miss Fairy, you look better.

Father.

Jeom Dol, you are awake.

I turned on the boiler downstairs for you, Father.

Huh? You did?

Yes.

I trained for wall-climbing for half a day in the celestial world.

When you go downstairs, your room will be warm, so sleep well.

Thank you, Jeom Dol. You should go sleep, too.

Yes.

Miss Fairy, you sleep well, too.

Teacher Geum, you sleep well, too.

Jeom Dol, good night.

Yes.

Please stop.

Are you all right?

I am fine.

Just like the first day I saw Miss Fairy

I couldn't sleep that night.

It's so nice to visit the school after so long.

Ok Nam, how long has it been?

Teacher, your pupil greets you after so long.

Did you have a good trip to the celestial sphere?

Ok Nam, I heard that you performed well the coffee skills which I taught you

and brought happiness to many.

I am embarrassed.

I haven't learned even half of your teachings.

What are you saying? The coffee beans you left behind were very good, Ok Nam.

You are really the best pupil.

I have one request of you, actually.

Hmm?

Grandmother, where have you been for so long?

Are you back for good?

I plan to return from time to time, just like now.

Oh, I wish you would just stay.

Your coffee is still very satisfying and surprising.

Thank you. Please enjoy fully.

Oh, Grandmother, thanks to your encouragement, I gained confidence

- and I have a girlfriend. - It's his first.

But you never even had one.

Students should love to be able to love and to receive love.

Grandmother, you must return.

It's been a long time.

It has been a long time.

Let me brew you a cup of coffee. What would you like?

Thank you. But before that...

This time, I might really receive a response.

Teacher.

Yes, Elder, please come in.

You got a package.

Thank you.

The sender's name is Sook, doesn't that mean it's a woman?

Lee Ham Sook?

Welcome.

Are you looking for a gift?

Yes.

What type were you looking for?

A coat.

It should be so luxurious that you want to wear it as soon as you see it.

But it has to be very inconvenient and completely embarrassing to wear in the rural forest.

- Is there one like that? - Pardon?

- Well, what is that ... - So I mean ...

Recommend me such a coat that he would come to Seoul just so that he can wear it.

Great shine.

Perfect for cleaning up wild geese dung in the fields.

Or should I take it with me next month when I go to Africa?

She's back.

Did you wait long?

Teacher Geum?

You look like a fairy.

Oh, you're already a fairy.

Do I look alright?

South Dipper Star King let me borrow these clothes.

You're pretty.

You are extra dashing today too.

Oh, right.

Happy 700th birthday.

700 stems of roses were too heavy.

Thank you.

Isn't this over 700 stems?

Maybe.

Oh my goodness!

How can I eat such splendid food?

It is like a work of art.

Teacher Geum, you hurry and try this too.

It melts in your mouth.

Yes.

In the celestial sphere, there is no way to track time.

After coming down to the human world, I started to count the years, one by one.

This day, 700 years ago, was the day I came down to bathe in the fairy waterfall.

Did you, perhaps ...

That day, coming down to the human world. Did you ever regret it?

I feel ...

I feel as if you will fly away and leave me behind.

Our Jeom Soon.

So that nothing bad happens to you, Dad will watch over you.

This humble fairy... Even if another chance came to me,

I would make the same choice.

So that I can be Jeom Dol and Jeom Soon's mother.

And I could meet you.

Who stuffed themselves with all the shrimp fritters?

Ate? Who ate it?

Sheesh. How many heads did you eat?

How can I help it when it's tasty? I didn't even know when my hand went that way.

If you love shrimp so much, get back on the shrimp catching boat.

There she goes again saying stuff she doesn't mean.

When you can't even live a day without me. That bluffer!

But where is that friggin' Teacher Goo and not here working on a big holiday like Chuseok?

He eats double what we eat.

But when it comes to frying fritters, he hides his tail (disappears)?

Leave him be.

Teacher Goo made the songpyeon* before he left. (steamed sweet half-moon rice cakes with sesame or bean filling)

And Geum's mother made all the taro soup and bindaetteok* before leaving too. (mung bean pancakes)

What's the occasion that they helped with the chores?

The two went traveling together.

She was so giddy when she left, saying she doesn't have to worry about her son anymore.

It seems Fairy Seon got all the recipes for the food

that Teacher Geum likes.

When Geum was about five years or so,

he went out to play.

But he didn't come home when it was late at night so I went out to look for him with all the villagers.

We searched for so long.

However, it turns out he fell asleep in the mountain.

He laid there in the forest.

Around Geum, a warm breeze was blowing.

And soft light shined around him.

And butterflies and tiny birds flew around to protect Geum.

That's when I knew.

That child is my son

but it's possible that he's a very precious existence.

Someday he will leave me and go to a higher place.

I sort of guessed it.

Take good care of my son.

I want to go travel like Geum's mother too.

Hey, you two, come eat songpyeon.

Come, please.

Fairy Oh. Songpyeon!

Eat while it's hot.

Oh, it's made so beautifully.

What the? Where did all the sesame songpyeon go?

Ah! Why does Jeom Soon have to have the same palate as me?

What's this?

Is this supposed to be bean paste or whole beans?

This Chuseok, it's so nice that it's bustling.

For many centuries I would prepare alone but now we're together.

Miss Fairy.

Jeom Dol. Jeom Soon.

Ahjussi!

What is all this?

Aigoo!

- Beef jerky. It's beef jerky. - Beef jerky.

- Try that on. - Yep.

Should I step on Goryeong Mountain dressed in this concept?

Sure.

This is not Bug Jelly, but regular jelly.

The moon is so bright.

Hey.

Hey. Why no answer?

Professor Jeong, what brings you here?

What? I'm not supposed to come?

I thought I'd just come. I'm leaving for abroad again in a few days.

I think I won't be able to come back for a long time this time. And also, since it's Chuseok.

You're leaving again?

Have you been well, Miss Fairy?

I have been well.

You look healthy and well.

Oh, right.

This, take it to your mother.

Single malt whiskey.

I'll be sure to hand it to her for you when my mother comes.

She's traveling with Teacher Goo right now.

Teacher Goo?

That Teacher Goo I know?

Yes.

By the way, are you hungry?

Come with us to our home and eat with us.

Alright. I do want to hurry and wash up. I didn't get to wash for three days.

You know, I went to the cattle barn yesterday.

There's no hot water at home.

Did you forget? That I have the power of lighting fire?

That's right.

Jeom Dol.

What are you doing there?

You're here, Father.

Your humble son was getting fresh air.

I have something to give you.

Here.

Father's going out for wood. I'll be stopping by the market on the way back.

Is there something you want, Jeom Dol?

Please buy me a birch wood top.

Alright. I will.

Jeom Dol, you must stay and watch Jeom Soon well at home.

Jeom Dol, you wanted a birch wood top, right?

Father.

Jeom Soon once had a finger eaten by a tiger.

A tiger showed up while Jeom Soon and Jeom Dol were alone in the forest.

Jeom Dol, who was little, was scared and couldn't protect Jeom Soon.

Jeom Dol is unable to forget that guilt.

Kim Kim. How about a cup of fire-moon liquor for old times' sake?

Kim Kim.

What?

What's wrong?

Fill it with liquor and let the full moon shine on it.

And on the moon that reflects in the cup,

set a fire.

How is it?

It's nice.

It's tastier if I do it with my fire though.

- By chance, do you want it? - No.

I thought so too.

But this fire-moon liquor...

It's really been so long.

A love letter that you can't even send. Why do you always embrace it to your heart?

Great Gate Star, you're the one who also has a love letter

that you cannot send, always carrying it next to your heart.

Raise a flower that cannot bloom.

Such a foolish and sad thing that is, isn't it?

Even if that is a flower that cannot bloom,

I will raise it.

Are these two going to get married with a cup of water again?

Miss Seon Ok Nam.

How about doing it in Western style this time? You wear a wedding dress.

And I'll be the officiant, since I was once Kim Kim's mentoring instructor.

I, Jeong Yi Hyeon, speak this.

Greedy Wolf Star, Seon Ok Nam,

and Destruction Army Star, Kim Geum's becoming husband and wife.

I bless it sincerely.

Yi Hyeon.

I prayed daily thinking of you.

My prayer is being answered.

Thank you.

Thank you.

What should I do?

Thank you.

- North Dipper Star King. - Yes.

I see you know it now.

You and others aren't different.

You understand that the place across the river is the same as here.

And that heaven and earth are not two, but one. When you realize that,

you are freed from the human principle of physics.

And you shall enter the world of the celestial beings.

So the rumor that you're at school even on weekends and holidays was true.

What are you? To show up suddenly!

And while I'm so shabbily dressed, at that!

Don't you always wear that on weekends?

Why did you come?

I am leaving for Africa again soon.

That's why, do you by chance,

want to come with me?

What is all this?

Kim Kim, that rascal.

If not for that acorn porridge, I would've kicked him out much sooner!

In the end, I raised a flower that can't be made to bloom indeed.

BABEANS COFEEE

This won't work. Wizard Park's Cloud Candy

We're just quietly selling here while taking a break from our pepper harvest, so why are you being so strict?

Did you get a permit from the university?

Permit? I sure did.

Let me see your permit, then.

What permit? A person's words is the proof.

Who? Whose words?

He's right there. Perfect timing.

Oh my god! I was told this kind of clothes are only worn by FP (fashion people).

- You're here. - Teacher Goo.

We heard you opened your business so I made some rice cakes.

And just how strong is he, though!

So we can all share.

But should we call it "cloud candy"

or is it better to call it cotton candy like it's normally called?

What? You did that as if you could read.

Pointing to each letter with your finger as you speak.

Huh? Why couldn't I read?

What the? I can read!

Now that I think about it, you wrote this yourself too, Wizard Park.

You woke up from sleep and your illiteracy is cured, like Shim Cheong's blind father gained sight?

Yi Won University.

Coffee.

Oh my.

You're here.

Professor Jeong.

Professor Jeong. I read. I read!

What's with all the luggage?

It's clothing and books for the kids where I'm headed for volunteer work.

Should I help you carry it to your car?

Thank you.

So you're here.

Hello, everyone.

Professor, are your preparations done?

The only thing left to do is go.

Jeong Yi Hyeon.

Professor Lee. What brings you here?

And what's all the luggage for?

You said to come with you. I turned in my resignation.

Really?

Why are you shocked? Didn't you mean it when you asked me to come with you?

No, I did. But you'll suffer when you go there.

You can't sleep well.

And you can't clean or eat or rest at a clean place.

Did you put some deep thought into this?

Is there any thought required?

When I'm going to be with you.

Indeed, love is grand.

Father.

Huh?

Professor Jeong's flight time is nearing, it seems.

It's true. We need to hurry and go to the airport then.

Yeah, in any case, don't get sick.

Don't get yourself sick with contagious disease now.

You must come back.

Everyone, stay healthy.

Wait.

Now, I'm going to take it.

What's that?

How trendy.

I'll take a picture on the count of three.

One, two, three.

Weren't our eyes closed though?

You're already small and your face is small too, so why are you standing in the back?

I didn't say, 'kimchi' though.

I can read.

Is it a bean or what?

Whatever.

What is this?

Is this supposed to be bean paste or just whole beans?

Pain is not holding onto you.

You are holding onto pain.

Enlightened.

It was better when you were illiterate.

What's with the crap with enlightenment all day?

Come and turn over the peppers.

My enlightenment cannot be blocked.
