[male voice] I am a spirit created by smokeless fire,

a genie.

We were created on Thursday,

the day after the angels.

If you hear what I am saying now in your native language,

that's because I am a genie.

[alarm chiming]

Genie, turn off the alarm.

[male voice] With our supernatural strength and mystical powers,

we genies grew more arrogant,

even aspiring to surpass him.

But I had no interest in any of that.

Becoming greater than him… [scoffs]

…would be such a hassle, no?

Despite this, he, in his rage, sent his angels,

ordering them to decimate the haughty genies.

After 300 years, the long battle came to an end.

So did the lives of all genies except a few, including myself.

I took refuge in a lamp.

Once the world was purified, on the very next day, a Friday,

he created another species to replace us.

Out of clay, he made you.

Humans.

And then he commanded all to bow their heads

to the first human he created.

All angels and surviving genies bowed their heads,

but I refused to do so.

[water pours]

[swallows] Ah.

APRIL 5TH FLYING OUT

I, who was created from smokeless fire,

could not bow my head to a human

molded from mere clay.

Enraged, he threw me out of heaven.

Fallen to hell,

I made just one request.

I would agree to my fate on one condition.

That I be allowed to tempt humans

and drag them down to hell.

I vowed to prove to him

just how pathetic his precious humans truly were.

He granted my request

but named a condition of his own.

[whines]

-Did you get that? -[barks]

[AI Genie] I shall grant your request.

But if you happen to meet

even one pure human soul,

you will be cast to a depth greater than hell…

What's it rambling on about all on its own?

Maybe it's broken.

[male voice] That is the origin story

of the three wishes that you humans know of.

After that, I left hell to inhabit vessels such as lamps, rings, or jars…

granting three wishes to any human who summoned me.

Humans are selfish and lazy.

They are insatiable and quick to betray those closest to them.

They kept sinking deeper into corruption, and I was vindicated.

I had been

right all along.

But you.

You, from a small land in the East.

Even while taking your final breath, you used your three wishes for others. Ha!

It just could not be.

Little girl.

Little girl made of clay.

You frail, dying human.

I shall observe your death,

and I shall take a handful of dirt that is, in part, your flesh and bones.

Because of you, my lamp might end up buried deeper than darkness itself.

But even so, I will not bow my head to you,

a lowly being made of mere clay.

I shall remember your gaze

and the smell of your clay.

And, if a new master appears and summons me,

when I am able to be a part of this world once more,

I will scour the world

and find you again.

I shall do whatever it takes to corrupt you

and kill you.

Remember this.

I will seek you out, and my name…

[whooshing]

…is Iblis.

[theme music playing]

GENIE, MAKE A WISH

One Gogung set meal.

Right away, ma'am.

[classical music playing faintly over speakers]

[object thuds]

Stop it.

Stop coming.

I saw you every year.

I knew it was you.

The same table, the same day. Every year, for ten years.

You've done enough.

Did you think I wouldn't know?

Of course you should know.

That's why Auntie's been leaving cash and taking my photos for over ten years.

Right?

Mom.

[breathes heavily]

She said not to worry about money.

-Just take care of Ka-young-- -Take care of her? How?

What does she expect me to do?

So she doesn't seek out her mom.

Goodness!

That wretched bitch!

Should I tell Ka-young her mom's dead?

And she calls herself a mother?

Goodness, she was just a little girl.

What mother abandons her child for being difficult?

[melancholy music plays]

[crying softly]

[sniffles, cries]

[Ka-young] That's when Grandma started growing chilies.

And so, every year, the chili field grew, grew--

-I don't want to know. -Grew…

I don't want to hear it.

-What is it you want to-- -Please don't cut me off.

After 20 years, you're finally hearing your youngest daughter's voice.

[cell phone vibrates]

It grew, grew, and grew.

It's much wider now.

The chili field.

How did you find out where we live?

Are you quizzing me?

Bet you're happy to have ID.

Yes, I'm stoked.

RESIDENT REGISTRATION CERTIFIED COPIES, EXTRACTIONS

A copy of my residence record, please.

[suspenseful music plays]

You must be Ka-young.

What brings you here?

I checked the register.

This building that you manage, Auntie, appears to belong to my mom.

Where are they now?

My dead mom, dad, eldest sister, and second sister?

[bright music plays]

One Gogung set meal.

One Gogung set meal.

One Gogung set meal.

One Gogung set meal.

What do you do for your hands to be… [sighs]

You know better than I do why I abandoned you.

I've sent you plenty of money.

This? I bought it with my hard-earned money.

All the money you sent me was donated long ago.

These hands?

So you didn't even ask your sister what I do for a living.

It's work where I get scratched, cut, and burned every day.

Don't I sound just like a murderous bitch?

[breath trembles]

Grandma told me that people should always be kind.

I know that face too.

A face of fear.

You learned to be kind?

You say you know what fear is?

If so, would I have left you?

You never even tried to teach me!

-[cutlery clanking] -[sighs]

[woman] The thing is, ma'am,

in Ka-young's case, trying to teach her won't work.

How can that be?

Why say that without even trying?

Even if the whole world says it's impossible, I won't give up on her.

Please just tell me about her classes.

What did my Ka-young do to the frog?

Did she not do the dissection correctly?

No. She actually did it perfectly.

Then why did you ask to see me?

That class was two months ago in the spring.

But Ka-young was still pleading with me today.

She's been begging to dissect frogs again.

She wants to do it all the time and asks why we don't do it more.

She's asked every single day since.

[giggles]

[screams] That hurts.

You hurt me!

The frog's hurting too. But the frog can't even tell you that!

Damn it! [gasping, panting]

[coughing] I can't breathe!

Neither can I.

[gasping] Let me go!

I'll kill you, Grandma! I'm gonna kill you!

You let go first.

I'll let go if you let go.

[choking]

[grunts, whimpers]

[gasping, crying]

[pants] That hurt! I'm going to kill you!

I'll kill you, Grandma!

When you hug someone,

I will also hug you.

If you cut someone with a knife, I will also cut you with a knife.

And if you kill someone,

I will kill you too.

These are our rules. Do you understand?

[grunts] Let go of me!

[screams] You're hurting me!

-[panting] -Learn through the pain.

Learn until you're out of breath.

If you can't seem to learn, memorize.

Ka-young.

Look closely at my face.

This is

despair.

If you see Grandma making this face again,

it means

that you and I will both die. Am I clear?

[panting]

I missed it!

Do it again! Your face of despair!

-[panting, crying] -[crying]

I've already forgotten about the despair.

This is hope.

The face of hope.

[laughs]

[Ka-young] So, after that,

I stopped doing those things because those were our rules.

But living like that

means life is just no fun.

I'm so bored, Mom.

-What on earth are-- -I told you not to cut me off.

I was always curious.

On TV, people in this situation cry their eyes out.

I wondered if I'd cry. Whether you would cry.

I was just curious, you know.

But here we are, both dry-eyed.

Grandma sometimes cries in secret.

I assume

it's because of me.

But you know, Mom,

if Grandma ever cries because of you again…

my hands will be wringing your neck.

Until you are no longer able to make any face at all.

Until the very end.

[suspenseful music plays]

I came to say this in case you ever did talk to me.

Since you spoke to me this time…

I won't be back.

Bye, Mom.

[ticking]

[ticking stops]

[breathing heavily]

[vibrates]

THIS IS DUBI-DUBAI TOURS PLEASE BRING AN EXTRA LAYER

-[indistinct chatter] -[cheers excitedly]

[woman 1] My goodness, what a view!

"Dubai."

-"Dubai." -[camera shutter clicks]

-"Dubai." -[camera shutter clicks]

"Dubai."

Listen up, everyone.

Can you all see that sand whirl over there?

In Arabic culture, they refer to that phenomenon as a "waltzing genie."

No way, a genie? You mean the lamp spirit we all know?

How incredible!

But it looks like a sandstorm is coming. Are you all okay to continue the tour?

[laughs smugly] You underestimate Koreans. You all have your masks, don't you?

-Let's go. -Sure.

[tour guide] Okay, you've got an hour of free time.

-Feel free to keep taking photos. -[woman 2] Okay.

The waltz is a partner dance, but they're doing it solo? What a loser.

You're right. They're a total loser.

My gosh, you're right.

Goodness, dear. You're a hoot! [laughs]

Wow, honestly, you're--

Where's your hotel?

Oh boy, look at the genie!

[woman 2] Mom, wait for me.

[woman 1] Waltz!

[wind blowing]

[cell phone vibrates]

[Min-ji] How's the desert tour?

CHOI MIN-JI

[Ka-young] Vast, hot, and windy.

Perfect for burying a family of four.

[Min-ji] Stop that! Ticktock, ticktock.

-[breathes deeply] -[watch ticking]

-[thuds] -[grunts]

-[grunts] -[suspenseful music plays]

Why are you getting in my way?

Why do you keep interfering?

What the hell did I do to put that damn look of fear on you?

You didn't even try to make an excuse. And why is your skin so perfect?

You've had it

easy…

[panting] …all along.

The Gogung set meal tastes like crap.

It's a damn rip-off!

-[thuds] -[panting]

[gasps] Huh?

I just threw it behind me…

Who was that?

Who's messing with me, damn it?

[wind blowing]

[panting]

Hmm.

-[clatters] -[muffled speech]

-[clatters] -[muffled speech]

[muffled shouting]

[enchanting music plays]

[chiming]

[gusting]

[woman] Wow! The genie is dancing the waltz!

-[indistinct chatter] -[man] Amazing. It looks incredible!

Move, and I'll stab you.

[scoffs]

Your hair is…

Who are you? Why did you follow me?

[whooshes]

[sniffs]

I said I'd stab you.

So it is you.

The smell of that clay.

The same lump of clay

that imprisoned me.

[sighs] It's been 983 years.

[grunts] You almost got me.

-[comical music plays] -[grunting]

[clears throat, sighs] Huh?

[Ka-young] What's with this almighty idiot?

WHAT'S WITH THIS ALMIGHTY IDIOT? "What's with this almighty idiot?"

There is just one Almighty. I'm a spirit. [clears throat]

Listen carefully, little girl.

My name

is Iblis.

I was created from a smokeless fire… [gags]

Why'd you shake my lamp like that? [gags]

Mm.

People know me as a Jinn… [gags]

…or Genie… [whimpers]

-Ugh. -[Iblis] You shook it too hard. [gags]

Hey, stop there.

My lamp.

I told you to stop for a moment. I know you're her!

I'm Genie.

I'm the one and only Genie, spirit of the lamp!

[vehicles bustling]

[mystical music plays]

It's actually this long, but I usually wear it nice and short like earlier.

Damn.

I'll admit this is pretty impressive.

How did you get in here?

I'm pretty sure I told you in a loud voice earlier.

I am the lamp spirit, Genie.

I can inhabit whatever I want, "Kki Kka-young."

You have perfect pronunciation, but butcher my name?

[laughs] It appears that you don't quite grasp the situation, so listen carefully.

I don't listen to what others say. Only my grandma.

Consider these your grandma's words.

I'm here against her wishes.

Piss off!

You're contradicting yourself!

Do you seriously not remember me?

From 983 years ago.

Nothing rings a bell?

If you're talking about 983 years ago,

that'd be the Goryeo era.

Choi Soo-jong founded a country

and went on about something-jong and this or that king, then Goryeo fell.

How would I remember that?

Is that how far back we go?

Yes, that's how far back we go! Look at my hair, will you?

Come on, don't you see how long it is?

I see it.

So your hair grew that long over 983 years,

-but your beard hasn't grown an inch? -[gasps]

Of course,

that's a perfectly valid question.

But I don't really have an explanation, and I'd rather move on,

so can you just cooperate?

Do you know what it took for me to stay in that lamp for 983 years?

I'll bite.

What did it take?

Uh, the dignity I was born with.

Goryeo.

Where the hell is Goryeo?

I'm going to destroy it as soon as I get out!

[Sade] The thing is, Master, the land called "Goryeo"

no longer exists as it was overthrown by someone called "Yi Seong-gye."

They also believe in the cycle of death and rebirth.

Something "carnage," was it?

Reincarnation. [exhales]

So they are reincarnated.

Sade, head to that country this instant.

Go there and search every inch of it with a fine-toothed comb.

Check if that lump of clay was reborn.

[breathing heavily]

[low growling]

Oh. Hey, excuse me?

[sighs] Right, look here. Can I…

Whoa. Ooh. Excuse me? Might you have

seen this girl?

[man] I'm not sure. I don't think I've seen her around these parts.

[pillar thudding]

[grunting, yelling]

[Iblis] I upheld my dignity, even up to the 600-year mark.

Though I guess… [chuckles] …I did wear the lamp out a bit.

-[yells] -[rumbling]

Just let me out already, will you?

Why do I only have one piece of furniture? It's way too short for me!

I know you're listening.

Hello?

Hmm?

FUCK F U

F U

Seriously?

Darn lump of clay.

I'm coming for you. Just wait till I'm out!

[Sade] Master, something called an automobile has been invented!

These wheeled things walk around on their own now!

I'm telling you so you don't freak out or start gawking when you get out.

[Iblis] Sade came by now and then to inform me of the changing world.

And when I visited the East, I acquired the face of someone from that region.

I like it so much that I've been wearing it ever since!

I'm not sure why,

but the lady of the house keeps giving me heaps of rice…

That was around the 800-year mark,

and I was ready to blow a fuse.

Think about it.

I sent countless humans to hell.

Out of all those humans, only one had a pure soul.

So why is it all on me?

Does no one else find this odd?

Going through all that made me miss you so much. Truly!

I hoped you would be reborn

and that, even once,

you would find yourself dreaming of meeting a spirit like me.

I hoped you'd have a lot of friends and a lot of family

so I'd have a ton of opportunities to ruin you.

And then,

when the 900th year rolled around, I finally prayed.

"Please, I beg for just one more…"

[snoring]

Asleep, it seems.

Dozing off on a genie? What did you hear before your dreams?

The 700-year part when I was midstream?

Would starting over be too extreme?

Darn it.

What the hell does it say?

[Iblis] It says you shouldn't shake it.

That an ill-tempered genie might get angry.

Well, you made a great first impression. Dare I say, affable?

Well, how kind of you.

So you were awake?

I just woke up because it got so interesting.

Mm?

Or I woke up, and it got interesting.

So what happened after you prayed? Did you receive an answer?

I did.

[sighs dramatically]

[upbeat music plays]

[God] Dear Iblis,

I will grant your request.

But if the day comes when you bow before my creations again,

you shall be beheaded.

What did you pray for?

"Please, I beg for just one more…" and then?

Chance.

Please, I beg for

just one more

chance.

If the new master who releases me

is another of your cherished creations,

if they are a truly righteous human,

then I will banish myself to hell forevermore.

But if I do manage to corrupt them, then…

let me be a free genie!

Grant me the eternal freedom to move between heaven and hell as I please.

Sure, you might wonder how that's any different from now,

but the devil's in the details, you know?

Okay?

-[sighs, grunts] -[rumbling]

[groaning]

[Iblis] And at long last,

I realized that a new master had appeared.

But after all that, it's you again?

I figured it was a good thing.

But who knew you'd act like this?

How have I been acting?

Right now, you don't respect or fear me at all.

You're a mere lump of clay.

So I'm gonna prove it for good.

What a failure his creations truly are.

The extent to which humans can be corrupted.

You're saying this to my face? Over breakfast?

Mm?

-So what is it that you want from me? -Oh.

Have we not discussed that yet?

Oh, that's right.

What I want is three of your wishes.

Not one, not two, but three whole wishes.

The rules are simple.

No bringing back the dead.

No traveling to the future.

Anything besides that,

your wish

is my command.

[chuckles smugly]

A face of seduction.

Slick words.

That's right.

Come forth, into corruption.

You're an evil bastard.

Wait, what? You figured that out already?

Well, you're right, I guess.

Evil since before Christ.

Piss off right now.

Or should my first wish be for you to die?

Easy now. [laughs]

It's confusing that you were born like this.

Was the version of you 983 years ago just full of it?

Perhaps you weren't righteous, just inarticulate.

I was righteous?

Me?

[Sade] Master!

The girl was finally reincarnated!

But a war broke out,

and she died a hero, fighting alongside a certain admiral!

Right.

His name was Yi Sun-sin!

I've found the girl again, Master,

but she's dead this time too.

Apparently, she was helping someone this time too. Who was it again?

Of course!

I hear he was called An Jung-geun!

You were like that for three lives, but I guess this one's different.

Pulling a knife at the drop of a hat?

[exclaims] Now that's a habit I can get behind.

Okay, let's properly corrupt you in this lifetime.

At its core,

pleasure is needed for corruption.

Master, I shall bestow the world's greatest pleasures upon you today.

Bring me a camel!

I've already called an Uber.

Mm? What's an "Uber"?

We don't ride camels anymore. We ride Ubers.

Right. And what is this "Uber"?

Why should I tell you?

Why do we keep talking in circles? [groans]

No, wait. [laughs]

It's great that you're so rude.

Uber? Sure.

983 years is a long time, and in that time,

the world must have changed a lot.

No wonder I'm out of the loop.

I just need to remain calm. [breathes deeply]

[engine revving]

[shrieks] Sade the brat!

Why didn't he tell me about those two-wheeled things?

It almost got me!

-It did get you. -Mm?

[light whooshing]

-[gasps] -[comical music plays]

-[gasps] -[music ends]

[drilling]

[shrieks, pants]

-[drilling] -What is that?

Why is it making that sound?

-Ugh. -[drilling]

-[yelps softly] -[drilling stops]

Yes, Grandma?

Right now? I'm going to go sightseeing.

[Pan-geum] All right, good.

You're keeping up with your meds, right?

All right, attagirl.

Don't eat too many cold foods,

and steer clear of any boys who try to chat you up.

Don't look twice, even if he calls you pretty.

And if a guy says he'll do things for you, put him on the phone right away.

You got that?

-She wants me to put you on. -[Iblis] Put what on?

No way. This face is set to be attractive to anyone in the world…

What's she saying?

I swear I heard a man's voice.

Hello?

Ka-young?

Hello… [blows]

Hello?

[Ka-young] The only reason I didn't kill

is because of my grandma's rules.

I got it out of my system in other ways. They say nothing beats fatigue.

[man] Beat?

Oh, right. Beats fatigue… Fatigue, right. [chuckles]

[Ka-young] Yes. Every day from the age of eight until I went to college,

I would plant sesame with my grandma and then harvest it. Same with chilies.

A FAMILY-ORIENTED PSYCHOPATH

[groans] My entire body would ache,

but I had to memorize poems and stay at the top of my class.

Every day, I was so exploited for labor

that even if I thought, "I want to kill something,"

it would soon be morning.

HIGH-FUNCTIONING PSYCHOPATH SETTING A GOOD EXAMPLE

[man] Ah, mm. I see. Man, I'm getting chills.

You're so funny, ma'am.

NO, IT'S NOT FUNNY

You're older than me.

[man] Sorry?

You started farming two months ago?

[man] Yes.

Do you have a car?

[man] Yes.

Come by if you have an accident. First service gets 10% off.

[chuckles] Ma'am-- I mean, Ka-young?

Whatever. You're totally scary yet super funny. [chuckles nervously]

By the way, I'm just so curious.

Do psychopaths really not feel love?

You know, being ready to give your life for someone else.

I would be willing

to kill for someone else.

-Doesn't that count as love? -[laughs]

VIDEO UPLOADING

[Arabic music playing]

[woman 1] Wow, how beautiful!

Mom, I want to buy everything here!

[woman 2] Right?

[Ka-young] Wow, how beautiful.

Tour guide, I want to buy everything here.

[woman 1] Sorry, why are you telling me that?

Make your three wishes. Do it now. Right here. This instant.

[Ka-young] Get lost. Find yourself a barber.

Is that a wish?

Do you want to get slashed for real?

Hey, why would you say such a thing? What do you mean…

My gosh. Look at these lamps.

-[mockingly] My gosh. Look… -[cell phone vibrates]

[Min-ji] You know it's rude to come back from overseas empty-handed, right?

What is Dubai's most popular souvenir?

Chanel, of course.

Right. Thank you.

Where's the department store?

Ah. I was only joking.

I was joking too. [laughs mockingly]

Right, you were joking, weren't you? [laughs]

That was too funny.

They're all right here. Magic lamps.

Goodness. Do you think a genie will appear if I rub this?

Make your three wishes.

Do it now. Right here. This instant.

I told you to piss off.

You've picked the wrong person.

I have rules and routines. Those two things keep my life going.

So I don't have any wishes to begin with.

May I ask

who you're talking to?

Genie. This bastard has been talking to me nonstop since yesterday.

-Sheesh, she's so strange. -[woman 1] Don't make eye contact.

Right, only you can see me.

One of my magical powers.

You piece of shit.

You beardless son of a bitch with your stupid long hair.

You just won't shut up! For fuck's sake!

I told you to piss off!

Why am I the only one to see you? I look like a lunatic!

You're already corrupt.

Very corrupt.

All right, let's step it up a notch! Mm?

[sighs]

[yells]

[water dripping]

-[door slams] -Hey, you're back.

So damn salty!

[exclaims, chuckles]

[exhales angrily]

-[in English] One dirham. One dirham. -[indistinct chatter]

One dirham. One dirham.

-One dirham! -[man] One dirham. One dirham?

-Yes, one dirham. -One dirham.

[coin clinks]

[sighs in exasperation]

[in Korean] This is driving me nuts.

Try and get rid of me again.

I can't leave your side. You're my master.

I'm considering other options.

Are you the only genie?

No. I'm the most famous genie.

Why do you ask?

Mm?

Damn it.

[gong sounds]

[comical music plays]

What the hell? Do all genies look the same?

Do you know a genie with long hair?

I do. And I suppose you're looking for that genie's weakness,

or his flaws, or perhaps a way to eliminate him.

So you intend to fight a genie with a genie? Ha.

It's a new angle. I'll give you that.

But, unfortunately,

he is the only genie among us brothers who grants wishes.

If you've seen him, you'll know.

He can inhabit any space in the world and is perfect from head to toe.

The walking definition of dignity. Weaknesses?

None. Flaws? I'd love to give him one.

But eliminating him is quite simple.

I'm sure you've figured it out. If you make your three wishes…

Hey, on your left.

You dare deceive me?

Ha. That actually hurts. And what, have you been all righteous and dignified?

You've rubbed every lamp you could find.

He knows The Art of War? That's not in my favor.

[chuckles smugly]

If things aren't going your way, start by changing the subject.

You put your hair up. How pretty.

It's a pain to lug around. And it's so obvious that you're lying.

If the conversation gets awkward, just lean into it.

Never mind the beard business. How are we communicating?

-How do you know Korean? -Hmm?

I don't speak Korean.

I'm speaking Arabic right now.

But wherever I go,

I sound fluent because I'm the lamp spirit, Genie.

Make it sound like Arabic.

What did you say?

You're Korean, aren't you? You don't know Arabic.

I'm not Korean or a person.

[in Arabic] How much is this? Where is the toilet?

Oh. No cilantro, please.

-[in Korean] Happy? -Sounds like basic Arabic.

I'm a native speaker.

Even your basic Arabic sounds rough.

It's all in your head. Have you always been so violent?

If so, I'll get my hopes up.

Is your grandma well? Why no wishes? Do you really not remember me?

And he knows how to deflect.

-Hmm. -Enough of that.

Do you know how to fly?

When you watch shows with vampires,

-they just fly off, all the way to… -[grunts]

-[chuckles] -[gasps]

[rock fusion music plays]

-[horn honking] -[tires screech]

[man in Arabic] Move out of the way, crazy! Are you trying to get killed?

[in Korean] He's singing my praises.

[rock fusion music plays]

[Iblis] "Can I fly?"

Did that answer your question? Who'd you say earlier? Vam… who?

Wow.

Wow.

-Wow. -[chuckles]

So you really are a genie.

I'm now going to scream with happiness.

Hmm. I know how this goes.

Go ahead!

[screaming]

Wait, why are you smiling like that?

You smile differently from other humans.

This is real joy.

Joy? Mm.

So you finally have a wish?

No.

I finally have an opportunity.

The perfect location.

The perfect adversary.

From this height, would his skull crack first?

Huh?

-No telling my grandma. -Huh?

Whoa! [screams]

Who exactly is your grandmother?

[thuds, cracks]

Mm? That was way too quick.

[suspenseful music plays]

Man, you startled me. Your timing was completely unexpected.

"Man, you startled me"?

Most people panic while pushing someone, but you're only just startled?

I should have been slower to get mad.

Your arm broke first? Not your skull?

Depends on how many times you spin

and whether it's a clean drop or if you hit a building.

I hit a building, so I came up a little sooner.

I smashed my head and back but pieced myself together on the way up.

I see.

But I know that face.

Real

rage.

If you knew, why do it?

Don't you agree, Master?

[choking]

[child] I accept

whatever punishment.

So please,

make sure we are punished.

You and I both.

I hoped you'd be different,

but not this different.

What exactly are you?

Beg.

-Beg for your life. -[choking]

Tell me it's your first wish.

Wish it.

Seeing this,

I can tell those wishes won't do me any good.

How smart of you.

You're right. Once you've made all three wishes, and I'm no longer bound,

I'm going to kill you.

If that's your plan,

why not just scrap the wishes

and throw me off right now?

I'm having…

[laughing] …an absolute blast right now!

[laughing]

[choking, laughing]

[rock fusion music plays]

[theme music playing]

GENIE, MAKE A WISH

If that's your plan,

why not just scrap the wishes

and throw me off right now?

I'm having…

[laughing] …an absolute blast right now!

[laughing]

You're enjoying this?

Yes.

I was so bored with life,

but my heart is racing right now. [choking]

-This is fun? -[laughing]

[Iblis] Fine. Let me kick things up a notch.

[tense music plays]

[Ka-young choking]

[laughing]

-[chokes] -[sniffs]

It is you.

That lump of clay.

I'm sure of it.

I guess I've been too complacent.

Is this how corrupt humans have become?

Are you humans already beyond temptation?

How was it when you fell? Did you feel any pain?

Let me in on your plans.

While you're trying to kill me, can I try to kill you too?

[grunts, coughs]

I'm warning you.

Lay a finger on me again,

and I will wipe out your entire kind,

every single being apart from you,

from the elderly to infants.

I will exterminate every last being,

sparing no one…

if that's what it takes to watch you suffer.

For 983 years, you've been part of my plans.

[Ka-young] Wait.

You're just leaving me here?

[yelling] How am I supposed to get down?

Four wheels? Ha!

Must be the things Sade mentioned that walk around on their own.

-[people exclaiming] -[growling]

[growling]

[chattering, exclaiming]

[Sade snarls]

-[snarls] -[people gasp, exclaim]

My mythical beast, Sade.

[Sade] Master?

When did you get out here?

Get out.

[Sade] There are a lot of eyes on me right now,

so I'll meet you over at the oasis.

I'll see you later.

I've changed a lot, so try not to be too alarmed.

Get over here this instant!

[Sade] I was born of a single glistening tear

shed on a strand of my master's silky raven hair.

If you hear what I am saying now in your native language, that's because--

What are you mumbling about? Get your ass over here!

[growls] It's been far too long. I've missed you, Master. [sniffing]

Oh. Master's scent. [growls]

Cut it out. You seemed perfectly happy serving other masters.

I was only doing what I had to. Take a look.

Even the oasis has become a luxurious hotel.

Animal protection laws prohibit hunting, so I'm practically a herbivore now.

By the way, did you get hurt?

Earlier, I felt my head splitting and my back breaking.

There was a bit of a situation.

Don't tell me banging my head made your face so…

What about my face?

Right, you haven't seen me like this.

This is the face I mentioned taking a liking to.

What?

[sighs] Where should I even start bringing you up to speed?

Anyway, so you finally have a new master.

Well? Do they look like they'd have a lot of wishes?

No.

She says she doesn't need any wishes.

It's honestly so strange.

[door opens]

-[passenger humming] -[watch ticking]

[humming]

-You're in my seat. -Hmm.

This is my first time riding a carpet like this one.

And this. It's so delicious. [chuckles]

-You abandoned me in your hotel. -I didn't abandon you. I left you there.

-Yeah, you abandoned me. -No, I left you there.

Will we ever have a proper chat?

I already told you. I can't leave your side.

I'm saying stop wasting your time.

[yawns]

I feel drowsy after the meal. See you in Goryeo.

-[comical music plays] -[Iblis humming]

What a pain in the ass.

We'll talk later.

For now, our hairstyles are way too similar.

Stop wearing it in a bun, or shave your head already.

I busted my ass with hair masks to grow this out,

so you change yours! You hear me?

[Ok-nam] Mm. We want them nice and crispy.

[Ka-young] I'm home.

My word.

What is it?

Ka-young, I thought you were glowing lately.

It must be because you're dating.

I don't date.

I've just always been pretty.

Then

who is that lanky man with you?

-[comical music plays] -Ah.

Don't say a word. Not a single word.

He's just a souvenir.

That's Granny An,

Granny Park,

Granny Sa,

and my grandma.

[Heung-rye] Goodness, this is incredible.

She went overseas and brought back a potential husband.

He's not a potential husband.

We're just

sharing a room.

What?

Well, if you share a room,

who's to say, you know?

Who knows what might happen?

Pan-geum, you'll have great-grandchildren in no time.

-[Bok-ja] Come on, stop that. -[laughing]

Have you eaten? [laughs]

Welcome. I'm An Bok-ja.

Right, well, I think Lee Beul-li will be a suitable name for me.

"Lee Beul-li"?

[both] Lee Beul-li?

[Ka-young] Follow me.

Goodness, why take a detour to the shed before going inside?

-[laughs] -Enough of that!

What are you doing? It'll burn. Hurry up and flip it!

It's cooked perfectly.

"Lee Beul-li"?

I did some research.

Everyone here has three-character names.

An Bok-ja. Ki Ka-young.

Lee Beul-li.

It makes sense. I'll give you that.

But…

Never mind. Whatever works for you.

All right, ground rules. Stay out of sight of the grannies.

And definitely stay out of sight of the locals.

No going into town. No getting caught using magic.

No telling me to make a wish.

[in English] Okay?

[in Korean] Then, what can I do?

I came all this way, and for what? You want to kill me?

If that's what you desire, wish it. It's simple.

Why would I use a wish on that? I could do it myself.

What are you yapping about to yourself?

Where did that lanky fellow go?

-Why the pickax? -[chuckles softly]

Only I can see you again?

You said to avoid the grannies.

[Pan-geum] What is it?

Are you seeing things?

Did you skip your meds?

[sighs heavily]

Cover your ears.

Maybe I'll just kill this--

Kill what? Who are you going to kill?

Ka-young, you remember your promise to me, right?

Remember our rules?

-[pickax clangs] -I do.

-[ticking] -[breathing deeply]

Your mom, dad, and older sisters

aren't coming back.

They're all dead.

But how did they die?

I only killed Mom's parrot.

Mom, Dad, and my older sisters.

I didn't kill them.

Of course you didn't.

Grandma knows you didn't.

And you won't kill anyone in the future either.

And no killing birds either.

Let's live a long life together, me and you, okay?

But they said they'd come back.

They promised. [panting]

So why are they dead? How could they die without my permission?

[panting]

[ticking]

From now on, this is what you do when you're angry.

Close your eyes and listen to the watch. It goes ticktock, doesn't it?

Let's listen to that sound 60 times and try to hold it in for one minute.

I don't want to. Get off me.

I'm still angry, so what now?

Then you should listen for two minutes.

Let's try it, okay?

No!

Just put it away! Get rid of it!

[panting] Get rid of it already! Now!

I don't want this! [panting heavily]

KA-YOUNG'S STUDY COMPILATION 1

-[Ka-young counting] -Mr. Chang-sik made this for you.

Shall we take a look?

Oh my, this looks like fun. Don't you think?

[nurse] Congratulations. You have a baby girl.

-Chae-a. -My goodness.

-Our precious princess! -It's me, Dad.

[Pan-geum] See that, Ka-young?

That dad and grandma look incredibly happy, don't they?

That is real joy.

766 seconds, 767 seconds, 768 seconds,

769 seconds, 770 seconds…

[doctor] We did everything we could,

but the child's mother passed away during childbirth.

[tearfully] Sorry?

Good heavens! How upsetting.

That there is real sorrow.

They've lost someone they love.

781 seconds, 782 seconds, 783 seconds…

[boy] Dad, you can't let go. You just can't.

[man] Of course. Dad's holding on tight.

[boy] You're still there, right?

-[man] I sure am! -[boy] Did you let go?

Wow! Hooray for my darling Chae-a!

Hooray!

Now that is real happiness.

[man] Go slow! Slow down!

You should try it too. The more you try, the better you'll get.

798 seconds, 799 seconds,

800 seconds, 801 seconds…

[woman] The thing is, ma'am,

in Ka-young's case, trying to teach her won't work.

806 seconds, 807 seconds, 808 seconds, 809 seconds, 810 seconds, 811 seconds…

And this

is affection.

Warm, isn't it?

820 seconds, 821 seconds…

[woman] She lacks a sense of guilt,

and because she's unable to control her rage…

-Oh boy, my dear Ka-young is warm. -[Ka-young counting indistinctly]

Goodness.

-My dear crybaby is so warm. -[Ka-young counting]

Goodness me. [sniffles]

My stubborn darling is warm.

845 seconds, 846 seconds, 847 seconds,

848 seconds, 849 seconds, 850 seconds, 851 seconds…

Didn't I tell you not to take the stone out?

Come hell or high water, I won't let you take it out until tomorrow.

There.

Why are you doing this? Why should I put up with it?

It's uncomfortable.

That's exactly it.

That's what discomfort is.

When people glare at you like this

or narrow their eyes at you like this,

it's not because they don't like you.

They're just uncomfortable around you, okay?

You sure like to talk, Grandma. You're such a pain.

What do I have to do to get out of living with you?

If you study really hard and go to college,

you won't have to live with me anymore.

But the thing about studying is

you have to take it seriously and be top of your class.

And if you succeed, then you must attend a prestigious college.

KI KA-YOUNG TOP ADMISSION SCORE

The National University of Science and Technology is a big deal!

[Pan-geum] And once you graduate from college,

you must get a job that pays a regular salary.

Thanks! And congratulations.

-Oh boy. -[man 2] Thank you.

[woman] Congratulations.

-[man 1] Congratulations. -[man 2] You've picked the perfect spot.

KI KA-YOUNG TOP ADMISSION SCORE

How can she be both the town's pride and the village fool at the same time?

Honestly!

At the same time?

You were saying…

Where did you go to college?

We didn't even breach

the subject of college.

And more importantly,

I was a little tied up at the time.

Even so, a similar educational background is important.

Ka-young got into the National University of Science and Technology

-with top marks and graduated early. -Mm.

A high school grad?

Uh…

[humming]

[Pan-geum] What was your CSAT score?

-Your grandma is fuming. -Why?

Something about you

doing two things at the same time.

Don't ever do that again. She seemed really disappointed.

-Mm? [gasps] -[projector whirring]

[slams table]

[whirring stops]

-Hands off. -[chuckles] Oh yeah?

Ooh. [chuckles]

-I said hands off. -[grunts]

[chuckles]

[scoffs]

[chuckles] You push pretty hard.

[chuckles]

So I guess that's how humans imagine me.

THIS ANCIENT BOZO'S FIRST TIME SEEING THOR

-Is that me with the hammer? -It's not.

It's not? But we have the same hair.

Then… [chuckles]

CAPTAIN AMERICA JUST PASSED BY

-Him with the star tray-- -Not him either.

Oh, I know.

The one wearing the red aluminum suit…

No, it's not. It's not you!

They're Marv*l. You're Disn*y.

You have totally different target audiences.

You and these guys…

Your worlds simply cannot mix.

This is all we can say.

But I need to know more to make sure we don't mix.

I couldn't hear anything through those bleeps.

You may be a genie,

but you will never hear through the bleeps.

Copyright is serious business.

Copyright?

If you must hear,

you can go and seek permission from the "Big Mouse" himself.

I'm an actual genie in the flesh. Why would I need permission?

Who is this mouse anyway?

-So this is the modern-day plaza? -Yes.

With three IDs, I basically control public opinion.

[sighs]

-Trust me. -Okay.

[typing]

[Sade] I'm honestly speechless, so let me TL;DR this.

Something outrageous happened to me.

I'm a genie, but copyright stops me from even mentioning the famous mouse.

I'm the genie. This makes no sense.

That's not all.

They made a movie about me, but guess what they called it. Aladdin!

I've never even met an "Aladdin." Upvote if you can relate.

So what's this plaza called?

[Sade] Mate Pann.

"Mate Pann."

See? They're already going wild in the comments. [laughs]

I told you, Master. You can count on me.

-[both laugh] -You don't say?

A GENIE ON MATE PANN?

GO TOUCH GRASS, BRO

WE NEED ALADDIN'S SIDE OF THE STORY

BIG CAP, GO SEEK HELP

-But why are they criticizing me? -Oh.

-Oh. Ooh. [laughing] -[laughing]

[woman] You call this studying? You're really going places, huh?

Did you learn to read Korean?

[yelps]

Mr. Seo I-deuk, what are you doing here? You said you'd chop wood for the hall.

I was just getting up to go over there now.

By the way, have you eaten?

Sit down while I'm being nice.

The plaza is over here.

Who is that?

Are you two close, Mr. Seo?

We have almost a millennium to catch up on, so, you know.

Never mind. Let's go.

I told you to come.

Come here now!

-[boy] Hey, what the hell? -[patrons clamoring]

Come on!

I'm going to kill whoever pulled that crap.

[boy 2 groans] I was just about to level up, damn it.

[grunts]

-[all cheer] -[exclaims]

The mountains will soon be stripped bare of trees.

He's the young man staying at my Sang-tae's guesthouse for a month,

-and he's so handy. [chuckles] -[yells]

[women cheering]

-[Ok-nam] Would you look at that? -[whooping]

[car engine starts]

[revving]

[engine revs]

What's a car like that doing in a town like this?

Mm?

Right. It's the psychopath's car.

What? Why would you say such a thing?

Hello.

-I think she heard you. -It's all right. She knows it too.

Hey.

Drive carefully, you!

She has one of those anti-psycho character disorders or something.

Granny Park, it's called "anti-social personality disorder."

Don't forget to apply sunscreen.

[Heung-rye] All right!

By psychopath, do you mean the type that kills people?

She doesn't kill people, though,

because we all raised her together as a village.

-And how did you raise her? -[screams]

Who are you? How'd you get here?

[Heung-rye] What are you doing here? How very strange.

Right, he's her potential husband.

So how did you raise her?

Well,

at first, it was utter chaos.

Worse than anyone could've imagined.

[clucking]

This is "gi-yeok."

This is

"ni-eun."

This is "di-geut."

Things get a little tricky from here.

Are you up for it?

-[tense music plays] -[dogs barking]

-[barking stops] -[music ends]

[pleasant music plays]

This girl.

Dear, oh dear.

Here. Try one first.

You need to cut the rice cakes, not smash them.

Knife up against the rice cakes…

[Heung-rye] And so, the entire neighborhood

came together to raise that tiny devil.

Devil, you say?

[Ok-nam] That's it. There you go.

What exactly are you?

[whirring]

-You busy? -I'm almost done. Can I help you?

I broke a tail light while parking.

[soft suspenseful music plays]

You don't need to uncover the truck bed to change it, right?

My truck's loaded to the brim.

It's fine.

I clock out at 6:00, so just come back before then.

I'll leave it with you, then. I'm going to eat at my mom's restaurant.

[whirring]

[sighs]

I see you've already started. [laughs]

I bought more pork belly. Let me know if you need it.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

By the way, Mr. Eom, is the Wi-Fi here normally this bad?

It's the altitude.

Why not give your phones a break and enjoy your time here?

He's right. I hear I-deuk doesn't even have a phone.

I-deuk! You should stop chopping and join us.

I don't actually like cooked meat.

Enjoy!

GRANDMA

[Pan-geum] Buy bean sprouts,

those adhesive pain relief patches, tofu, and bread.

What is that?

-That looks so cool. -I told you not to come into town.

Buy me one of those.

-No, buy me three. -[vehicle approaching]

[dramatic music plays]

Oh.

I heard you brought a potential husband from the Middle East. Is that him?

Hello. He's not a potential husband. Don't say a word.

But…

Don't you tell me he's not when he clearly is!

The talk of the town is how we should plan the wedding.

As for me,

I'm Park Chang-sik, the village chief here at Cheongpung Village.

Here we have the youth association. Left, Jwa Jong-heon. Right, Woo Min-jae.

Say hello.

Nice to meet you.

Wow, you're as tall as the 63 Building.

[Chang-sik laughs] It's a nice area, isn't it?

Thanks to our Ka-young here,

our village has nothing to worry about in terms of public safety.

Why am I the only one talking?

Am I the only one with a mouth?

Am I the only one who's happy we're meeting?

Just say hello. Keep it short.

Shall I, then?

Uh, it appears that you are the chieftain of this village.

Nice to meet you too, Park Chang-sik.

[grunts, exclaims]

Ugh!

-[Min-jae] Chang-sik! -What the hell was that?

Please calm down. You'll give yourself a heart attack.

What the hell did you do? What did you do to my nose? [yells]

What made you fall for me? Am I damn irresistible?

Chang-sik, use your words.

I told you to let go of me!

What the hell? Where'd he go?

-Did he make a run for it? -[chuckles]

[sighs]

[feigns screaming]

What just happened?

Where did he go?

Where could he have gone?

I wonder where he is.

Damn it.

CHEONGPUNGHO MART

How many times must I tell you to pay attention to the entrance display?

The entrance is…

"The face of our store." But you keep leaving it bare.

Don't you?

[snaps fingers] Answer me, please.

I'm sorry.

The freight elevator is under maintenance, so…

Ms. Kang Im-seon?

Does our store not have stairs?

Get a move on.

Right, I'll get to it now.

Oh.

Men don't greet each other like that in this country. That's the rule.

Huh? What is this place?

And what's that?

Oh! What is this place?

Stay still already.

-[Iblis] Whoa. -I'm sorry, but can you see that man?

Yes. He's handsome. Why do you ask?

Uh, just wondered if he was only handsome in my eyes. Thank you.

[sighs]

Chief Park is a former marine, and his motto is "My pride is my success."

What are you gonna do now? You're… done for.

So you think I'm handsome?

I have no emotions, but I do have eyes.

What don't you have? Emotions?

You should be careful not to get caught out by Min-ji.

Her rules are even more intense.

Wait, who is Min-ji?

[woman] Excuse me.

That's the ladies' restroom.

I am a lady.

[gasps] My apologies. I'm so sorry.

It's all right. I'm used to it.

-[toilet flushes] -[door opens]

[water running]

[water stops running]

[chuckles] I'm a woman.

I know. You're the director of Smile Dental Clinic.

Do I know you?

[suspenseful music plays]

Wait, I remember. I saw you when I signed the lease for my clinic.

You're CEO Ryu Su-hyeon's assistant.

Are you here to play golf? Isn't this course great?

I'll let him know.

Mr. Ryu also owns this golf course.

This too? Whoa.

Even with everything he could ask for, he's always volunteering at the food bank.

He had another building finished recently, right?

[Irem] The sold units will likely be occupied from next week.

Sounds good.

I'm glad to hear you're happy.

The paperwork's been a nightmare for me, but it's good that you're satisfied.

Why do you still scramble for money when you already have so much?

That's the thing about being human.

You don't need to go to hell to live in hell.

Having no money is hell itself.

Hell doesn't suit me.

[can opens]

[Sade] A nose rub?

At least you're still alive.

For now, drink up.

Being away from home is tough.

-[bright music plays] -[waves splashing]

[groans, grunts]

[sighs] What is this aluminum kettle?

It's remarkable!

You know about aluminum, but you don't know what a can is?

GOBLIN STATIONERY

[sighs] Wow, this…

Wait here for a short while.

I'll be back as soon as I finish my after-school helper gig.

Hey. You shouldn't be helping people.

You're Satan's mythical beast. You should be ruining them.

Stop the infuriating nonsense. Wait right here.

-Huh? -[children chattering]

[announcer in English on video game] Ready, go!

-[electronic music playing] -[both grunting]

-[in Korean] What is this lamp? -[grunting]

-[announcer] K.O.! -It's amazing.

-[buttons clicking] -[grunting on game]

[gasps] You're still at it?

Please just go.

I'd like to go too,

but I just can't stop.

Next time, I want to be trapped in this.

-[buttons clicking] -[grunting on game]

-Ah! -[comical music plays]

[grunting continues]

[groans]

[muttering]

-[music increases in tempo] -[clicking intensifies]

-[announcer] K.O.! -[groans]

[grunts]

[exhales, laughs]

[music increases in tempo]

[yelps, groans]

You stay right here.

I'll take you on any day.

[music ends]

[indistinct chatter]

[panting softly]

[woman] Hey there. Excuse me?

It's dangerous there.

-[exclaims] -[sighs]

I know.

Leave her alone. She's as experienced as we are.

We see her on every trail we go on.

The young lady who picks up all the trash. [laughs]

Oh my, it's nice to meet you.

I've heard so much about you. [chuckles]

I know.

[Iblis] What took you so long to get down?

Why are you here? How did you know I was here?

I'm desperate. I just need 1,000 won. It's the last time, I swear.

You came all this way for 1,000 won? Aren't you a genie?

Magic yourself some money.

Spirits can't make treasures for their own use.

And do you really think I came for 1,000 won?

Make your three wishes.

Do it now. Right here. This instant.

Or give me 1,000.

So you came for 1,000 won.

But if this is the last time, that means there was also a first.

-Don't tell me-- -It was Pan-geum's money.

-[gasps] -You think that makes it okay?

Why are you so quick to wield a weapon? Let's just talk this out!

Get over here. You damn thief.

Give it back. Give back my grandma's money!

JUST 1,000 WON!

JUST 1,000 WON!

JUST 1,000 WON!

JUST 1,000 WON!

[engine revs]

[tires screeching]

[sighs]

Give it to me.

I just want 1,000 won!

You're dead meat.

-[shifts gear] -[tires screech]

[Iblis] Hey, where are you going?

Okay. Fine. I'll take 800, and give you 200 change.

-[car stops] -Huh?

[revving]

Whoa!

Hey, you insane lump of clay!

Your master did this, Master? Why would she?

-[cracks] -[both groan]

I asked her for 1,000 won.

-After all this, she didn't even pay up. -Darn, my neck. 1,000 won?

[exhales] It's a thing.

Of course it's a thing.

-I have a lot of those things. -[gasps]

Why do you have money?

Because I work part-time.

So your master didn't give you any money and even ran you over with her car?

So it's true.

She must really be a psychopath.

Yeah, that thing!

What is that, and why do people keep calling her a "path"? A path to where?

PSYCHOPATH

It's not like some kind of path you take.

Don't be too alarmed by the search results.

Are you ready?

No.

They're about to level up again.

If they knew it was me-- [screams]

Oh. [chuckles awkwardly] Oh, it's just you.

You're getting funnier by the day.

Why did the monitor switch off?

Here. Take a look.

Hmm?

-[comical music plays] -Huh?

[yelps]

[gasps]

[drill whirring]

How shall I explain this feeling of intense disappointment

to my dear Ki Ka-young?

How am I the last person to know that you came back from Dubai with a man?

What does this jerk do?

What, has he got an oil well in his backyard or something?

I'm not quite sure what he does for a living…

but he tilted the earth to hug me.

-He mostly tells me to make a wish. -A wish?

[scoffs] He's clearly a cult leader.

Does he mention things like the end or corruption? Does he ask you for money?

-He does. -See? I knew it. How much?

A thousand.

A thousand big ones?

[sighs] What a bastard. So?

So I shoved him off a viewing platform, beat him up a few times, and ran him over.

-[whirring stops] -[assistant] You're all done.

Settling all that with 10 million won is a bargain.

[Min-ji] It's done. You can go.

I'll go wash up before my next appointments.

-Yes, ma'am. -Yes, ma'am.

By the way, why does that lady always get in the chair to talk?

She doesn't even get checked.

She likes the sound of dental scaling.

[gasps] Creepy.

[Iblis] I should have known.

I threatened to throw her from high up, and she loved every second.

This was a losing battle all along.

So corrupt. She's barely human. There's nothing for me to corrupt.

She was so righteous in her past lives. What will we do now, Master?

I need to check one more thing.

Whether she values the lives of others.

Buy more of these aluminum kettles.

The next one's to celebrate.

-[tense music plays] -[panting]

[ticking]

-[door opens] -[whooshes]

[tense music plays]

What? Is that your lighter?

Put it out. This place is full of flammables.

That comes down to you.

Only you and I can put out this fire,

but I won't.

So the only way is if you wish for it.

[music intensifies]

[rattles]

[screams] There's a fire! Call 911!

Call 911! Oh dear!

My gosh, it's a fire!

How far might these flames go?

Are you filming a fire insurance ad?

Open this.

It may engulf the entire village

or an entire city.

Or perhaps the entire country. [chuckles]

[sighs] You just blew your chance.

As soon as I'm out of here, I'll kill you first.

[tense music continues]

-[music stops] -[door closes]

-[gasps] -[rock music plays]

Wait. There was another door?

You should have done your research.

No!

Don't!

Do you know how to kill jerks

who just won't die?

-[yelps] -By beating them to death.

[groaning]

[yelps] You crazy…

[yelping] That hurts so bad!

The fire! Wish for the fire to be put out!

Why should I? Just burn it all down.

I don't care if you want to burn the entire earth!

Then why are you beating me up?

Because you disrupted my after-work routine.

On a Wednesday.

What? [yelping]

Hold up!

-[indistinct chatter] -[siren wailing]

Where is the fire?

It was over there,

-but it went out on its own. -Huh?

[woman] You see the scorch marks, right?

I definitely saw it too. But it went out in an instant.

[Iblis yelping]

First things first, I think you should stop the assault.

-[man] Over there! -Goodness! Ms. Ki!

[indistinct chatter]

[officer] Ms. Ki!

What on earth are you doing?

You can't beat someone up like that!

It's all good, sir.

I'm not even a person,

and I deserve it.

Sir, I brought this on myself.

Wait, your head.

-It's dented! -[all gasp]

It's all right. It doesn't hurt at all.

It'll bounce back if I flex my brain.

-Wait, your arm's twisted too. -[gasps]

-[all gasp] -[Iblis] Oh, this?

It was like this when I got here. [laughs nervously]

I'm good. Please be on your way. Thank you for your concern.

So you know how to be polite?

-So you knew how, but you chose not to. -[all exclaiming]

[woman] Hurry and stop her!

Don't stop her!

Everyone, just leave already!

She hits me.

And then hits me again.

We're getting along great.

Why are so many people getting involved?

Right, welcome to the modern day, you ancient bozo.

I'll let you off because I need to go eat gamja-tang now.

If things aren't back to normal by midnight,

I'll cut you into quarters and ship you express to whoever made you,

so get moving.

-I may have lost today, but I will-- -[officer gasps]

-[thuds] -[sighs]

As expected, she doesn't care about other people's lives.

That was a highly successful attempt. [chuckles smugly]

You look like too much of a mess to call it a success.

It's all good.

I always looked like a mess.

I'm warning you. Lay a finger on me again,

and I will wipe out…

And to think, I made threats that meant nothing to her. [scoffs]

I underestimated a tough fight.

I just need to do a little suffering.

Were all of her shots aimed at your head?

[laughs smugly]

SA FAMILY GAMJA-TANG

You went through all that fire and flood,

and you're still downing gamja-tang?

-It's Wednesday. -That's right.

And while we're on the topic,

can't we change up the menu?

The menu is fixed.

This is my routine. Our friendship routine.

No, it's not.

Listen carefully.

In school, you beat up anyone who messed with me, right?

-Yes. -You cared more for my grades than I did.

-Right. -Let's say your grandma dies.

-Who will you call? -The village chief.

Right. And after him?

-The ambulance. -[chuckles]

Correct.

-And then? -You.

See?

This is friendship. Seafood stew next week. Deal?

I need to eat gamja-tang.

My rules and routines are absolute.

Grandma is my rule, and this is my routine.

One misstep, and I'd be dangerous.

Uh, we're not fighting. Please enjoy your meals.

You're wrong.

You're not dangerous.

You've already proven yourself.

That's how it is now.

But what if Grandma passes away? Then my rules will disappear.

Without my rules,

I might kill someone--

I'm telling you, that's not true--

Don't cut me off!

[sighs]

-I haven't told you my workshop story yet. -Fine, tell me.

It starts with "a coffin"? Right?

A coffin?

Oh. I've never built a coffin before, so…

Shall we start trying today, then?

Two paulownia coffins.

You must be preparing coffins for your dogs.

Are they elderly? How big are they?

Large dogs? Or small dogs?

How tall are you?

She's about as tall as you are. My grandma, not my dog.

-[gasps] -The other one is for me.

-I plan to die once she passes away. -[gasps]

[Ka-young] As natural a death as possible.

I'm going for something

like deep-sea equipment failure or a fall on a remote trail.

Do you understand?

I understand, yeah.

But must you tell me every time when I'm the one who'll be most upset?

Who else would I tell? You're my only friend.

Just don't be upset.

Come on, that's…

[sighs] Fine. I'll try not to let it get to me.

-[sentimental music plays] -But you would never kill someone.

That kind of blind faith is friendship, isn't it?

And I'm not capable of that.

You don't need to be.

I still love you either way.

So please,

stop it.

-I know. -What the hell do you know?

I don't know feelings, but I know statistics.

Every Wednesday, I eat gamja-tang.

You've had gamja-tang with me twice every month for five years.

You say you don't want to come, but you never let me eat alone.

You come and erase the line that separates me, a negative,

and all the normal zeroes.

Right.

That's got to be love.

[sighs]

Keep eating. I'll get us some water.

[sniffles]

Hmm?

-[winces] -[Min-ji] What the…

-[gasps] -[Min-ji] What's wrong with this?

Why are you here?

[Min-ji] What?

Don't tell me you were spying on me from the water filter.

I've straightened up the garage. Thought you'd want to know.

Damn it.

Who was it? Did someone say something?

We're not fighting, I swear.

Enjoy your meal.

Again?

-Huh? -That's 4,000 won.

You're into that?

I'm catering to your tastes.

Follow me.

-Here you are. -I'll take that. Thank you.

Take this.

From now on, when only I can see you, you wear this clip as a sign.

I'm strange enough as it is. I don't need to be any stranger.

You may have no need, but I do.

If you want me to wear this, you should at least make an effort.

The least you could do is make your first wish.

Why are you so hung up on those wishes? Why do you want to kill me so badly?

[sighs wearily] There's no point telling you since you don't even remember,

but it's because you trapped me in a lamp for 983 years.

Do you have proof?

It was you.

I watched as your flesh decayed and your bones turned to dust.

I have a handful of that dirt too.

I'll admit tempting you is a challenge,

but once you make a wish, you will certainly become more corrupt. [scoffs]

If the corruption of humans is guaranteed,

people wouldn't have categorized me as a psychopath or a threat.

I've never even jaywalked or littered.

My grandma says humans are kind beings.

I am the only evil in the world.

-So you're wrong. -[chuckles softly]

No.

I granted the wishes of humans for thousands of years.

All humans end up corrupt in one way or another.

Then prove it to me.

What in the world can I prove in the middle of a street?

Best of five.

You will grant the wishes

of the next five we meet here on this road.

And if more than three of them can be corrupted,

then I'll immediately make all my wishes and die at your hands.

[scoffs]

My grandma never lies.

-[dramatic music plays] -[scoffs]

Do you realize what you've just put on the line?

Are you really not afraid?

Sorry, but I don't know how to be afraid. So take this and do the work.

In the meantime, I'll be coming up with

two perfect wishes that won't have a single flaw.

Why only two wishes?

I already made one.

My first wish.

Which is?

I told you to prove it to me.

Prove that humans are bound to be corrupt.

This is my first wish.

[scoffs]

I've been tempted by you.

[rock fusion music plays]

[scoffs]

[rock fusion music plays]

[theme music playing]

GENIE, MAKE A WISH

I told you to prove it to me.

Prove that humans are bound to be corrupt.

This is my first wish.

I've been tempted by you.

You'd bet your life on something as fragile…

as the goodness of humanity?

Wow! [scoffs] This is unbelievable.

You will lose no matter what. Just wait and see.

I'll see to it that you lose. You'll be begging me to please--

Save it for when you actually win.

And wear this.

No, I'm going to celebrate early.

I decide when to do what.

Get a move on, human. Spring nights are short.

[Ka-young] If you were, in fact, locked up for 983 years,

how are you the most famous genie?

I was famous even before I was locked up for defying his orders.

Why did you do that?

You've tempted me.

I was tempted… No. [clears throat]

I refused to bow my head to a lowly human molded from clay.

-Look, 1,000 won! -Where?

[comical music playing]

I was just tying my laces.

[hums]

Take your time tying them.

Tie them to your heart's content.

I swear I'll corrupt you,

even if it's the last thing I do.

I will wring your neck, you hear?

I'll hang your head at the gates of hell, and…

[Im-seon] Is that you, Ka-young?

Huh?

Here comes the first human to be corrupted.

I should come by for an oil change.

I'll stop by on my next day off.

Sure. Come by.

Kang Im-seon. A supermarket employee and Granny An's eldest daughter-in-law.

Huh. I know that kind of face well.

The face of someone who wants the world to end tomorrow.

[cell phone chimes]

[mysterious music playing]

Gu Bo-gyeong.

A bank employee. We were classmates until high school.

Did you get a text from the bank about our new towel sets?

I'm sure you use nicer ones, but still.

-Are you going somewhere? -I'm not. Go ahead.

What?

Okay.

I know that kind of face well too.

The face of someone who wants the world to end as soon as today.

So two are confirmed for corruption.

-[dog growls, barks] -[gasps]

Oh, another familiar face, I see.

What, do I not smell like I belong in this neighborhood?

Do I reek of oil?

[barking]

It's barking at you. Did you take the hair clip out?

Take a look.

Dogs are spiritual animals, so they can see me in any form.

-Really? -Hmm?

-Paw-sitively fascinating. -[dog barking]

Of all the village dogs, this one barks at me the most.

-[barking continues] -Really?

I guess that makes you tonight's third wishmaker.

Nice to meet you, mutt.

What a load of dog shit. Dogs aren't included.

Why not?

You said the first five we meet on this road.

That should include all living beings. Those are the rules.

Don't you agree, Ki Ka-young, lover of rules?

[scoffs]

THIS WAY TO CHEONGPUNG VILLAGE HALL

Ms. Ki?

Where are you headed this late?

It's dangerous to be out alone at night.

Need a lift?

No, thanks.

I'm not alone, and I'm meeting someone.

Is that so? Take care, then.

[Iblis] Huh?

Eom Sang-tae.

You know the gamja-tang spot? He's the son of Granny Sa, the owner.

Eom Sang-tae must not know that you're the truly dangerous one here.

Of course he does. The entire village knows about me.

But he probably doesn't know what I know.

[scoffs]

-Yikes, you scared me. -[Iblis] Hmm?

You must be out on a walk

in the dead of night. [chuckles nervously]

How's your YouTube channel doing?

-Is Da-jin well? -[man] Choi Da-jin, lock the doors!

Only joking. [chuckles]

Good night, then.

I guess it must have been about a year ago.

He moved here for the farm life.

He and his wife run a YouTube channel.

So I guess we have our five.

It's the best of five.

I'll make it a clean sweep.

You'll see it in no time.

Those five will hit rock bottom.

And that bottom is quite deep.

Humans only realize their true colors

when faced with the prospect of wishes.

Is that so?

And what does my wish say about me?

That you're a psychopath.

With a single wish, you led four humans and a creature to corruption.

Oh.

And I forgot to mention something.

There are both good and evil genies.

Of them, there is one who conjures hell.

They call him

"Iblis"

or "Shaytan."

To use a name you may recognize…

it's "Satan."

[captivating music playing]

It appears as though…

I have encountered an evil genie.

[crows cawing]

[rats squeaking]

[laughing]

[captivating music continues]

[music ends]

[Sade] What are you going to do now?

Even in this life, she used her first wish selflessly.

It wasn't exactly selfless, was it?

She bet her life on people being kind. What else is that but selflessness?

And what did you call her? "A psychopath"?

"I am Satan"? What's with the sudden honesty?

So the rats are surprisingly accurate informants.

[whimpers]

I just didn't want to lose.

What should I do?

Maybe I should just skip this life?

Ki Ka-young will live until 80 at most.

With this lamp and those aluminum kettles, those years should fly by.

And how would you fund that habit?

Yes, good plan. Let's just skip this life.

For now, I'll try my best to avoid her.

You go get a job at her auto shop and gather some intel.

What do you think?

Right, so you'll be using my money.

But where will you hide, Master?

Somewhere very far away from here.

Somewhere closer to him.

[whimsical music playing]

-[music ends] -[door opens, closes]

Come on out. Let's eat.

No, I was just rushing out…

Hey, that! I know the perfect place to eat that.

And don't tell Ka-young that you saw me. Tsk.

-[groans, sighs] -[whistling]

[whooshes]

[amusing music playing]

Mmm-hmm.

How delicious.

[dramatic music playing]

[pilot 1] What? Status report?

[pilot 2 in Japanese] I have just spotted an unidentified flying object!

[chuckles]

I see a carpet. Over!

Whoa!

[in Korean] He's eating bibimbap. Over.

[in Japanese] What are you talking about? Give me a proper report!

Mmm-hmm.

Mmm?

Hmm?

[in Korean] What's the matter? Come on, what is it?

Huh?

Oh, did you two arrange to meet here?

Okay!

[pilot 1] He's escaping. Awaiting orders. Over.

[pilot 2 in Japanese] Should we shoot him down? Over!

[reporter in Korean] At around 3:38 p.m. today,

the Ministry of National Defense reported an unidentified flying object

near the Korea-Japan maritime border, which prompted a fighter jet standoff.

They avoided providing specific details regarding the unidentified flying object.

I guess I've identified the unidentified flying object.

With my very eyes.

I needed some time to myself to mull things over.

-[thuds] -Shut it.

You almost sparked a war between two countries,

then tucked into an in-flight meal?

Bibimbap!

Ms. Ki. You're hiring, aren't you?

Please hire me for the job.

I was practically raised on rice and engines.

Why don't you avoid

talking about rice today?

Did you two plan something?

You clearly know each other.

You said you'd stay hidden.

How can you get caught in less than 12 hours?

Don't worry. I have a plan.

I need a change in direction.

Half a day in, and you're doing this here?

Why did Ki Ka-young die for them when she had no interest in dying for me?

What makes me different from them?

I should've checked that.

I'll be back.

Where are you off to now?

[dramatic music playing]

Comrades.

OCTOBER, 1909 PRIMORSKY KRAI

Let us meet again at Harbin Station. Alive.

Yes.

[Iblis] Ki Ka-young?

Oh. Ah.

Who are you?

Hi, past-life Ki Ka-young.

I need to ask you something.

Know of An Jung-geun?

Comrades!

Our location has been compromised! Run, now! Hurry! [panting]

So you are a spy.

A spy?

What's that?

-No, I just have a question. -[hurried footsteps approaching]

[amusing music playing]

-[soldier] Fire! -[man] Run!

So loud. No, stop!

Come on, that stings!

Hey! We were talking over here!

What do you keep throwing at me?

[all grunting, groaning]

-[gasps] -[all groaning]

I was only trying to return them to you. Right, Ki Ka-young.

Where are you going? Wait for me!

I said I have a question. I swear it won't take long! [pants]

Thanks for saving me.

If we are granted another life,

I hope we meet again.

Wait, no. I want to talk to you in this life…

Get him first!

Fire!

That stings!

Stop giving me these things!

-[all grunt, groan] -[gasps]

-There he is! -Right, Ki Ka-young.

Wait, I…

[sighs] This life just won't do.

THE YEAR 1592

[dramatic music playing]

[horse whinnies]

[Chang-sik] A messenger is here from Jeolla's naval command.

[king] Let him in.

-You may approach. -Yes, sir.

[Iblis] Ki Ka-young.

Ki Ka-young.

-[man 1] What was that? -[man 2] What was that sound just now?

You're a man now?

[Ka-young gasps]

[comical music playing]

Ki Ka-young. I have a question for you.

[Chang-sik] Your Majesty.

I, Yi Sun-sin, Left Naval Commander of Jeolla Province, humbly report.

Yes. It's about that man, Yi Sun-sin.

Our forces struck Busan Port's enemy base, sinking 130 ships…

-Ki Ka-young. -Ki Ka-young.

-No, kicking, no, killing… -Huh?

Command my death, Your Majesty.

[king] Who was that? Come on out.

Who keeps going on about "Ki Ka-young"?

[Iblis] Oh.

-Ah. -[man 1] Goodness, how can this be?

[man 2] What is that?

[gasps]

[man 3] Who is that?

[man 4] Is he a person or a ghost?

I have a pressing question, you see. [chuckles]

That peculiar, freakish…

Seize that monstrous being and decapitate it at once!

Decapitate?

What does that mean?

[radio narrator] And so, it was recorded in one unofficial Joseon text

that the being stayed alive for three days even after being beheaded

and, for all three days, continued its bizarre cries,

saying "Kay Young, Kay Young" before vanishing into thin air.

[mystical music playing on radio]

Where have you been?

Far away. [chuckles softly]

-[neck cracks] -[groans]

There were some people I needed to meet up with.

What the hell are you playing at?

I made a wish like you wanted. Why aren't you doing any work?

You're just stalling for time, aren't you?

Not at all!

I've arranged it so that the lamp will show itself when their desire peaks.

But if someone's wish changes things, how would I know?

What about that?

Once you write with this pen,

your words are eternally binding, no matter how things may change?

And we're here to get it? At the crack of dawn?

[Iblis] Yes. It'll be right here.

But the process is complicated,

and I'll need your help.

[door opens, closes]

[suspenseful music playing]

[sighs]

He owns this building. Did you get permission to be up here?

Between us, permission will never be necessary.

Pluck a feather while he's distracted.

Then run.

What?

Whoa!

Why, you…

-[laughing] -[Ka-young screaming]

-[gasps, screams] -[Ka-young] This is so much fun!

[man screams] I got you! [pants]

[screaming]

[both screaming]

[man panting]

Are you okay?

Yes, well, I'm fine.

Why were you screaming when you have wings?

I was just nervous since it's been a while.

Is your auto shop doing well?

You could say that.

Anyway, you'll feel a pinch.

[yelps]

Damn it! I'm already stressed from molting.

Hey! How many did you pluck?

-[sighs] -[Iblis] Long time no see, brother.

I heard you got out, brother.

It's been, what, almost 1,000 years?

So, in my absence, was the world full of peace and quiet?

You condemned me, saying I led humans astray. [scoffs]

So tell me. In a world without me, were all humans kind?

I've seen that war, murder, greed, and selfishness all continued to exist,

even in my absence.

Ever think they're the seeds you sowed?

The idea of humans getting a chance to make a wish is just wrong.

-Hasn't it ever occurred to you? -No, it hasn't.

All that occurs to me

is how those flawed lumps of clay are his mistake.

Proving that hell is fitting for those lumps of clay

is the task that he bestowed upon me.

Don't forget that he also bestowed me with a task.

I'm pretty sure you took from my wing before you were locked up.

What are you up to this time?

Never you mind.

While I was locked up,

for 983 years without skipping a single day,

you came to visit the desert where I was locked up

and poured a handful of sand over my lamp.

Was it heavy?

You ought to experience the burdens humans live with.

[laughs] My goodness. You really are an angel, aren't you?

Enough chitchat. Let's truly catch up.

If you wish. Though, this will be the last time.

I'll be coming for your throat soon.

[mockingly] Ah.

[laughs]

[panting]

Wait, where did he go?

[whistling]

[stops whistling]

[upbeat music playing]

-Oh! -[rumbling]

Hey! Damn you!

[exhales] Phew.

Are you nuts? Did you just bust through my building?

All the units are sold, and everyone's due to move in next week!

[laughs]

Any idea what this building's worth?

Let's see.

Would it be worth the weight of your hypocrisy?

Why, you little!

[giggles]

For a second there, I almost forgot you were Satan.

Is it hitting home now?

You better watch your back,

for I have returned, brother.

[laughs]

That damn little… [breathing heavily]

[yells in frustration, grunts]

It can only write truths?

WRITTEN BY KI KA-YOUNG

A NEGATIVE ONE AND A STONE IN A SHOE

GENIE HAS GOOD LOOKS

It works.

GENIE HAS LOOKS

Wow. Brutal.

I AM

I AM GRANDMA'S BURDEN

I AM GRANDMA'S STRENGTH

[gentle music playing]

Ka-young.

Try some of these.

Chang-sik dropped off a huge basketful, and they're incredibly sweet.

-Grandma. -Yes?

All this time, I've been fooled by everyone.

I'm not a burden to you, Grandma.

I'm your strength.

Goodness me.

You must not be all that smart if you're only just figuring that out.

I guess being first doesn't mean much.

[laughs] Eat up. It'll give you strength.

[chuckles]

Actually, Grandma, strawberries have vitamin C, not strength.

For strength, you want to consume a primary energy source, like carbs…

Grandma?

[dreamy music playing]

[grunts, exclaims]

Seriously, what's going on in that head of yours?

Aren't you going to do any work?

-Gonna sell the strawberries next year? -Aye, ma'am!

It's no big deal.

It wasn't mutual.

It was one-sided.

By the way,

I heard that men in the Middle East really do rub noses like that.

I hear they only do that to dignitaries whom they deeply respect.

What, so I'm a dignitary?

-I guess so. -[laughing]

You're the only one for me!

Peace has been restored to our briefly rattled family!

-[laughing] -Sure, all right.

What kind of fresh bullcrap is this? [laughs]

Didn't you say there was a draw to assign festival booths?

-Get to work, will you? -Aye, ma'am!

Please do your best to keep sales steady during the festival period.

Our branch manager is very concerned.

Pay closer attention to the displays and offer samples proactively.

Yes, ma'am.

[sighs] Kang Im-seon?

I've told you multiple times to wear makeup.

And remove that pain relief patch.

Hello?

Answer me, please.

Yes, Assistant Manager Lee.

Ow. [wincing]

[grunts softly]

Huh?

What's this?

I didn't know we sold anything like this.

[blows]

[groans]

Come on.

-[enchanting music playing] -[chiming softly]

-[whooshes] -[yelps]

What is that?

I am Genie, the lamp spirit.

I shall grant you three wishes.

Make them.

No bringing back the dead.

No traveling to the future.

Anything besides that, your wish…

is my command.

[breath trembling]

She made her first wish?

Hmm. I get what the negative one means,

but what's with the stone?

-There's always something. -Not your concern.

So what did Ms. Kang wish for?

[chuckles]

[dramatic music playing]

KANG IM-SEON, SUPERMARKET EMPLOYEE

APRIL 19, 2024, MADE HER FIRST WISH

I'm Kang Im-seon, your newly appointed branch manager.

TO BECOME BRANCH MANAGER

I've worked at this supermarket for 20 years,

since the year after it opened.

But that young brat

landed assistant manager just by having a college degree.

I'm still just a temp.

Make me that bitch's superior officer.

The branch manager.

That is my first wish.

[music intensifies]

Oh boy. Good for you, Im-seon.

She worked so hard.

Congratulations.

Assistant Manager Lee?

You'll work the frozen goods discount display today.

-Me? -Mmm.

You never seem satisfied with the employees' work.

And wear a lighter shade of lipstick.

Stop wafting your perfume around the tasting stations.

Hello?

Answer me, please!

Yes, Branch Manager Kang.

Hmm. All right, then. Let's open our doors.

[employees] Yes, ma'am.

What on earth is going on?

I know. How can a temp employee become branch manager overnight?

How did that happen?

[woman] Who knows?

Ah. You're due for an oil change.

I am, aren't I?

Actually,

I'll be getting a new car.

An imported one.

Don't you worry about me anymore.

Are you seeing it now?

The true nature of humanity?

One thing I definitely didn't know.

That I'd lose a client.

But is it okay for you to be seen with me like this?

The wishmakers know you're a genie. Shouldn't you avoid being seen with me?

Ha.

In their eyes, I'm a mere sand whirl.

But I tend to emit a golden light to appear more mystical.

There's no real functional purpose. [chuckles]

Min-ji tends to wear a gown to appear more like a dentist.

Oh!

If one holds a syringe without a gown on…

Um…

You're really gonna cut it off there?

Wow. You're evil.

I've been itching to know for ages. Who even is this Min-ji?

[girl 1] Would you move your damn head, Choi Min-ji?

I can't see the psychopath's head because of you.

So, do you really have the urge to kill people and stuff?

In gruesome ways?

I did just now.

-Just now? -[girls laugh]

Damn, I almost pissed myself.

Getting hit hurts.

She might not say it, but it still physically hurts.

-Did she fucking say "physically"? -[girls laugh]

That's why we hit her, dumbass. So it hurts.

[Ka-young] You do that even though you know?

You know the rules, yet you still hit her?

You don't hold back?

-[suspenseful music playing] -[girls giggling]

[girl 1] This is fucking boring.

Hey, let's finish this smoke and bounce.

[suspenseful music continues]

[watch ticking]

[door unlocks, opens]

Ugh. What the fuck? I smell gasoline.

It fucking reeks of gasoline.

You fucking bitch. What the hell are you doing?

Setting this place on fire.

The story will be you started the fire while smoking.

Do we look like dipshits to you, you psycho bitch?

There are so many witnesses--

-Fuck! -Damn it!

So?

Shall I eliminate the witnesses, then?

[girls yelp]

Okay, we get it. Fine. We won't touch you.

Don't touch Choi Min-ji either. This is our new rule.

Fine.

Be my friend.

We're the only ones who don't have friends.

In South Korea, it's far more efficient to be in a pair than alone.

What happens if I say I don't want to?

You don't have a choice.

That's why, starting today, you and I are friends.

Also, your grades suck.

Memorize all of this.

If you don't, I'll kill you.

Solve these, or I'll kill you.

Pass the interview and oral exam.

If you don't, I'll kill you.

That's what I needed to hear.

You have no other choice.

Pass, Choi Min-ji!

ODD TEETH AND ODD PEOPLE WELCOME

That's so funny. It says, "Odd people welcome."

-How ridiculous. -Tell me about it.

In my experience, it's the odd ones who change the world.

One of the wishmakers from Ms. Ki Ka-young's first wish

has made their first wish.

Today's Cheongpung is not the same as yesterday's.

[squeals] Congratulations, Master.

If we steer Ms. Ki Ka-young's last two wishes the right way,

you'll at last be able to do what you've longed for.

Slit Iblis's throat.

So that's what they wanted my wing for.

To keep a record.

Hmm.

You know it took me 20 years to study psychopaths, don't you?

I actually thought Ki Ka-young wouldn't make any wishes.

For now, I'm happy that I've caught a lucky break, but something feels off.

I tossed all my books, but maybe I'm not done researching psychopaths.

Anyway, what's Iblis up to these days?

Canned beer and video game machines.

-Think he'll show up when he's broke? -Yes.

He's using Sade's money right now.

Hate comments have been flooding the foundation's website since yesterday.

Judging by the typos and content, they're clearly written

by Iblis.

BEAUTIFUL RYU SU-HYEON. RESPECT!

ANON: WHY? ARE YOU STOOPID?

[grunting in frustration]

-[indistinct chatter on video game] -[yelping]

Huh?

No!

-Please, no! -[clattering]

Oh? Sang-hyeok found money when he did this.

[game announcer in English] Game over!

[amusing music playing]

Hey, human.

Who? Me?

What do you want?

Pick it up.

The Earth is hurting.

Even Ki Ka-young picks up after herself.

-[scoffs] -The Earth?

Ah! It's hurting?

Ah, I guess today's my lucky day.

I'm gonna toss this one too. Infuriating, isn't it?

Then hit me.

Wow.

I almost swooned.

Ah.

Any other day, you'd be exactly my type,

but not today.

-Sade! -[whooshes]

[suspenseful music playing]

Yes, Master.

What the heck? Where'd you show up from?

Take care of him for me.

And hand over any spare change you have.

[coins jingling]

That was incredibly smooth.

Keep glaring at me. I dare you.

[laughs]

Come on, bring it. Just so you know, touch me, and I'll demand a settlement.

Got it?

[grunts softly]

-[growls] -[man screaming]

Don't come any closer! [screaming]

Back off! Don't come any closer!

[Sade] What are you going to do about the 1,800 won I lost because of you?

[growling]

[owl hoots]

[Irem] Nice going.

[Sade] Irem!

[hoots]

[Sade] How long has it been? 100 years?

Excuse me. Have you seen a girl who looks like this?

[hooting]

[gasps] Ah.

-[hoots] -Irem!

[Sade] So you've been here the whole time since then?

[Irem] Yes. Ejllael decided to settle here.

Death ran rampant back then.

[Jong-heon] They said it was black, so keep an eye out.

[Chang-sik] Okay.

[Min-jae] Shouldn't we search during the day?

Who goes there? Who are you?

Is that Director Ryu's assistant and Mr. Seo I-deuk?

This isn't the time or place for a rendezvous.

A panther or whatever was spotted in town, and everyone's on edge.

Are you sure it's a panther and not a jaguar-- [grunts]

A jaguar?

It's probably hiding in the mountains, so let's head back down now.

-It's dangerous. Go on. -Sure, thanks.

[Chang-sik] Hurry along.

Goodbye.

-Go. -[Irem chuckles]

Hold on a second.

That tail…

Huh?

And those ears.

We went to Everland today.

They're hot off the shelf. Aren't they cute?

[chuckles] Is that right? I must say, they're so realistic. Go on.

Hurry along.

[squeaking]

Grr… Roar.

Shall we hear about what happened overnight?

[brown mouse] I would rather die an honorable death

than submit to my mortal enemy.

[laughs] This is a bad look for jaguars.

[growls] I'll bite you.

[white mouse] Please. My elderly mother is waiting for me at home.

Then

why are you out so late?

You're excused. Go.

-[squeaks] -[growls softly]

Still want to die an honorable death?

-[squeaking] -[growling softly]

I did some digging as you ordered me to.

The auto shop is her side hustle, and she actually has another day job.

[key clacks]

Ah.

Elon Musk.

Should I just kill him? [slams table]

[groans, sighs]

She must have made a fortune. She didn't even pick up the pen.

And now comes the really important intel.

Go on.

How come you close shop every 4th, 14th, and 24th?

Any particular reason, boss?

Four. Death's number.

DEATH

Hmm?

-She wants Death's number? -No, that's not it.

Anyway, rain or shine, she has a routine that she sticks to.

Scuba diving on the 4th. Hiking on the 14th.

The workshop on the 24th.

-And every Wednesday-- -Gamja-tang!

Ah.

Wow.

So that's what that meant.

[gentle music playing]

[Iblis] "As natural a death as possible."

"…like deep-sea equipment failure…

[breathing heavily]

or a fall on a remote trail."

[exclaims softly]

[sighs]

[machine whirring]

[Iblis] Ki Ka-young's entire routine

is her way of preparing for her death.

The fact that a human body is 70% water

means that blood is the heaviest part of it.

So I thought about it, and if you start by draining the blood, and then…

Here, here, here,

and here.

If you chop them up like so and stack the pieces,

you'd only need a coffin…

about this small, no?

Ms. Ki Ka-young. I'm moving overseas next week.

Is business here that slow?

So she just bought the place.

Wow.

Coffins and all?

[sighs]

She plans to die as soon as Oh Pan-geum does.

What if she dies too soon?

You can't exactly take revenge on the dead.

We'll just have to stop her from dying too soon.

I have my ways.

Let's make sure

Oh Pan-geum sticks around.

Oh dear, my back. My goodness.

I'm so old. I should just die soon.

-No! -Good heavens!

Where on your back?

-Where does it hurt? Lie down. -Oh!

Is it here? Or here? Or maybe here?

-What are you doing? -Here?

How's that? Think you'll live a little longer?

[comical music playing]

Good heavens, my shoulder.

What would be the use in cooking a delicious stew with this garlic?

In my old age--

[Iblis] No!

What about the garlic?

Should I grind it? Hand it here.

If you followed her here all the way from the Middle East,

you must have some pretty serious feelings.

Well, I knew as soon as I saw her

that she was the one I'd been waiting for all this time.

Goodness me.

At first sight? Right away?

Of course, Ki Ka-young didn't believe me at first.

So I took her up a skyscraper.

One of those places where you can see all the city lights and the night sky?

-Mmm. -So what did you do up there?

That's a little intense for your ears.

But one thing's for sure.

Ki Ka-young is unlike any other woman I've ever met.

She just drives me wild, so I grabbed her neck--

Gracious me, stop that now!

[Iblis chuckles]

In any case, you mean to say

you came all this way after falling for each other at first sight?

Falling?

It wasn't a fall. More of a thud. Mmm.

It was totally a thud. Ha.

Still brings tears to my eyes.

Say your four pillars.

"Four pillars"? What's that?

The day you were born. It's best if you know the time too.

The day I was born, you say? I was born on a Thursday.

Around 13.8 billion years

BC.

[amusing music playing]

[clicks tongue] No need to call me "sir" though.

Let me see.

I really should get around to tending to that field.

[amusing music continues]

[grunting]

[grunting]

Oh Pan-geum might live forever, but you might not last long.

Here. I brought you a snack.

There's something I couldn't tell you last time.

My boss asked me if she and I had also met before.

[panting]

What do you mean by that?

Of course we have. We met just yesterday.

-Not that. I mean, 983 years ago. -[gasps]

Do you recall that time now?

No. Your master said that he and I knew each other from the past,

so I wondered if you and I had also met before.

We did, actually.

But so what if we did?

I want to know what happened.

[enchanting music playing]

Back then…

how did I die?

[sighs]

So she doesn't remember.

She only cares about how she died.

I was locked up because of her.

I spent 983 years thinking only about her.

What were you thinking about?

Whether that lump of clay, near death, regretted using her wishes on others.

Why am I asking myself that over and over in this uncomfortable position?

And why do I only have one piece of furniture?

Hundreds of years passed as I pondered these three questions.

But the key thing is…

Whatever you say next better be meaningful.

I still don't know the answers.

Damn it.

Not exactly smart.

Don't you dare tell her

that she made three righteous wishes before dying, okay?

About her being righteous in every life after that and… just everything.

Never, okay? You can't tell the lump of clay.

[Sade] I wouldn't dare tell her.

But do you know that Master's master is just outside?

[yells]

How much did you hear?

Not exactly observant either.

[Iblis] What the hell?

Why shut the door?

Why are you dressed pretty today? Hey, Ki Ka-young. Where are you going?

Ki Ka-young!

PSYCHIATRIC CLINIC

Ms. Ki Ka-young, please come in.

[romantic music playing]

[Iblis groans softly, sighs]

Why do I have to carry all this? I don't feel good. And I'm dizzy.

I'm wearing heels.

I'm going to need a better reason than that.

[gentle piano music playing]

[Iblis] What are we doing here?

Normal people come to places like this to eat, take pictures, and such.

Right this way.

[Iblis] Mmm.

Hmm.

Mmm.

[grunts]

Mmm.

Mmm!

Your daily pills.

Do you get them from that place?

Do they make you better?

What do you think? They're for Grandma's peace of mind.

A few are vitamins.

Why? Were you hoping the pills would make me better?

Do you always feel like killing me?

Because you're Satan?

[clears throat]

I never said that.

So, what?

You're not normal, so where do you actually want to go?

[romantic music playing]

Swear you won't push me this time.

[romantic music continues]

You don't think we were caught on any cameras, do you?

Who knows?

Maybe I will push you.

I don't understand why you're angry right now.

Right now, you do know.

[Iblis] It's nice that you can find comfort somewhere.

I guess this is one perk of owning the lamp.

It's dark up here, so maybe it'd be harder to see that I'm devoid of emotions.

In that sense, I like you.

Come on,

you can't just drop something like that on me.

Why exactly

do you like me?

You

are like the cars I fix,

my adjustable wrench, the wheels I roll, those sorts of things.

I don't need to read your emotions.

You're sturdy.

And sometimes, you shine.

[chuckles]

Of all the things I've owned since birth,

Grandma, Min-ji, the auto shop, my car,

gamja-tang, frogs…

-Frogs? -The sound of dental scaling…

If I'm this far down the list, you must not like me.

You haven't even mentioned me yet.

[scoffs] Fine.

I shall try to improve my rank.

Dear Master. Today, I shall gift you with the greatest darkness.

[distorted chiming]

[echoed thudding]

[wind blowing]

Now we can finally see the stars. [chuckles]

[gasps]

What?

Do it.

Do what?

When a man says something like "Let's gaze at the stars,"

then it's 100% the moment to kiss.

It's the moment

for a kiss.

I've always wondered how it feels.

[scoffs]

That's not what this is! What do you take spirits for? [chuckles]

I won't kiss you.

That's not fair. Why not?

You mentioned the stars!

Fine. Then just stand still.

I'll do it.

-[gulps] -What's this? Are they usually like this?

No, I--

Don't move. Let me try again.

It still feels exactly the same.

Why do people even like doing this?

[gasps]

Wow.

I really didn't want to do this…

but you're wrong.

It's different when I do it.

[staff 3] They're finding out now. We should rush over.

-Sleep well? -[gasps]

Let's kiss.

I need to plant onions.

[pants]

-[comical music plays] -[groans]

[groaning, gasping] Goodness me. [pants]

Done with the onions? Let's kiss.

[exclaims] Hold up. I left that thing back there. Silly me.

[comical music continues]

-[wood thuds] -[Iblis grunts]

-[gasps] -You came back for this coffin?

-You've found it now, so let's kiss-- -Wait up. Stop.

[Iblis] This isn't something you can just do whenever, you know?

You like rules, don't you?

These things have rules too.

-What are those rules? -Well, those rules are…

First, the weather.

Rain. It must be raining.

-Not yesterday. -[gasps softly]

It was the first time yesterday.

First kisses tend to be

more spontaneous, less restricted by the rules.

But it must be raining for the second one.

And there must be alcohol.

Just after a drink. Right then.

It's that complex?

It's even more complex. I simplified it.

Now close this back up.

You're really mixing identities like this?

LUNCH BREAK 12 P.M. TO 1 P.M.

Ms. Gu, weren't you classmates with Ki Ka-young and Choi Min-ji?

-Yes. -Did you see their bags?

They're both Hermès.

[gasps] She's just letting it sit on the floor.

Hey, could we get two iced Americanos?

[sighs] He always does that when we're headed to lunch.

You go ahead. I'll take a soybean paste stew.

You really should open a retirement savings fund account.

The earlier you plan for retirement, the better.

I'm good. I don't need retirement.

[chuckles] What do you mean you don't need retirement?

It's just Ms. Ki prefers aggressive investments over low-risk ones.

Of course, I understand.

[laughs] We should give you our new towel sets. Ms. Gu? Where are they?

-Oh… -Did you forget?

Come on, Ms. Gu. You should take more initiative.

I'll bring them right over.

Back to the topic of retirement, well…

How should I explain this? The profitability…

[mysterious music plays]

[man] As of today, construction is complete. I just need a move-in date.

Do you like it?

Yes, Dad.

-Daddy! -[exclaims excitedly]

Goodness, you're blinding me!

My darling princess, did you study hard today?

Like my life depended on it.

-I'm tired as hell. -[laughs]

I was paired up with the transfer student today.

-And? -He's really cute.

He is? Did he become the apple of your eye, Princess?

He seems really classy.

-So I asked where he lived. -And?

-He lives in the mansion we talked about. -Over there?

-Yeah. -They moved in?

If they've moved in, they should at least say hi.

Guess we'll have to make a house call.

Open up!

[pop music playing faintly over TV]

[gasps]

Wait, those rules

were this accurate?

-[door opens] -[gasps]

Genie, tell me about tomorrow's weather.

Why would you ask me?

Weather is a touchy subject for me right now!

Why are you making such a fuss when I asked Genie?

Genie, so what's the weather like tomorrow?

[AI Genie] It's set to be a clear and sunny day in Cheongpung tomorrow.

Hear that?

You should try asking it something. It's so accurate.

[Iblis sighs] Hey. Other Genie.

What does Ki Ka-young ask about the most?

[AI Genie] Here is a list of Ms. Ki Ka-young's recent search history.

Rainmaking ritual, artificial rain, alcohol content of different beers,

cool-toned lip tint, lightning-fast delivery,

rainmaking ritual…

What the hell have you done, you idiot? [sighs]

Find out when it will rain this week.

I just checked since the cherry blossom festival starts tomorrow.

Luckily, this entire week will be clear.

-Damn it, why? -[thuds]

What about next week?

The spring rain hits next week, so Monday may be the only dry day.

-Monday will be dry? -Would you like it not to be?

You can do that?

-Since you're a mythical beast? -I couldn't do it myself.

But I can try praying. [laughs]

Not exactly useful.

What is this about? Please put the wrench down.

Is something there?

I'm pretty today.

[Iblis hums]

[stops humming]

Pretty.

-[exhales nervously] -Pretty.

It's like the town is broke or something.

Why couldn't they get IU for the festival--

-[metallic clang] -What are you doing?

Put that down!

[quirky music plays]

I'm pretty.

Even prettier than before.

[Pan-geum] Goodness, young lady.

There are mirrors all over this house!

[Sade] It's not your fault, Master.

Psychopaths tend to be pretty narcissistic.

Is that true?

Thank goodness.

I thought I must have made her pretty somehow.

I was pretty awesome in the moment.

Why did I pick that moment to get all competitive?

What are you talking about?

Now is the prime moment to get competitive.

That kiss was the gateway to corruption.

Right. It should be, but…

[sighs] After 1,000 years,

it was practically my first kiss.

I almost died from nerves. [exhales]

[Sade] I just feel bad for Ejllael.

I hear he hits the gym nonstop because he wants to slit your throat.

Had he known a kiss would floor you, he could've avoided all that effort.

By the way, if it was your first in 1,000 years…

Yeah, what?

Shouldn't you have gotten a dental scaling first?

Total jerk move. [exclaims]

-[sighs] -Dental scaling?

What is that?

[dramatic music plays]

[assistant] Raise your hand if you feel discomfort…

We haven't started yet.

-Say, "Ah." -[grunts]

-[whirring] -[Iblis whimpers]

[assistant] Bear with me for a moment.

[yelping]

[whimpering]

[yelping]

You don't have any money?

And no ID?

You treated him with no intake info?

He said that he's a friend of the auto shop owner, so…

Ka-young? But I'm her only friend…

Wait, are you the guy from the…

-Middle East? -Min-ji? I'm so happy to see you!

I saw you eating gamja-tang together at the gamja-tang place! [chuckles]

[scoffs] Does seeing us eat gamja-tang together excuse you from paying?

[Ka-young] A tab?

[Min-ji] Ridiculous, isn't it?

It's outrageous, isn't it?

Apparently, he doesn't have ID.

And his name is none other than… [laughs]

Lee Beul-li.

Lee Beul-li.

That immediately killed my curiosity, so I stopped asking questions.

Do you even know anything about this person?

One thing I know for certain is that he isn't human.

[Min-ji] No, of course he isn't.

No decent human racks up a tab with someone they just met.

I'm feeling immense discomfort,

so here are my hands.

Seriously? I could just…

Dr. Choi, we need to get to the festival to volunteer.

[sighs] Okay. I'm coming.

At this rate, you'll wind up in big trouble.

Snap out of it, Ms. Ki.

[sighs] Okay, so he has a decent face, and he's pretty tall.

And yeah, he has a velvety voice.

Other than that, what's he got going for him?

It was essential given the rainy season.

I'll pay you back once I become a pro gamer…

A pro gamer?

You've lost every game to the neighborhood kid.

Pro gamer, you say?

Come here.

-[comical music plays] -[sighs]

I dodged her pretty well today.

I was only hit on one side. [laughs]

[mimics engine revving]

-[engine starts] -[gasps] What the heck?

Ms. Ki.

Check the tire pressure for me, would you?

-[Ka-young] Sure. -[Iblis mimics engine revving]

You're drinking.

Yes, that I am.

And you're at the wheel with the engine on.

Yes, I'm at the wheel.

Engine?

What's that?

All right, sir.

[exhales] Blow into this for us.

And what's this? Is it a pipe?

Go on.

-Okay, more. -More.

-Harder. -Harder!

[rapid beeping]

[Da-jin] Hello, Homies! It's Da-jin of Sky Farm Life.

I'm coming to you today from the Cheongpungho Cherry Blossom Festival.

Let's start off by raiding the For Daughter Strawberry stand.

Guys, what do you call a strawberry that was fired from its job?

[Yeong-hyeon] What?

-Berry upset! -[both laughing]

Right. "Berry upset!"

[Yeong-hyeon] You're hilarious!

See that? Nothing flops for no reason.

That was great.

-Cherry blossoms! -Indeed.

[Min-ji] Open wide. That's it.

Can we try opening up a little wider?

Even wider!

Hello. We're from Cheongpungho Bank.

We have a savings event, so visit for a consultation.

Hello.

[in Arabic] Where is the bathroom?

Is the subway station close by?

Without cilantro, please.

[in Korean] What are you saying?

Are you an Arab?

You spoke Korean just fine earlier.

[man] He doesn't want any cilantro.

What?

[chuckles] Arabic was big back in school, so I took it as my second language.

I'll try speaking to him. [clears throat]

[in Arabic] My name is Oh Gyeong-yeol,

a police officer from the Republic of Korea.

Sir, you have violated the traffic laws--

[snaps fingers]

[in Korean] Get over here. You said speaking Arabic would work.

About that. It worked for me toward the end of the Joseon dynasty…

Just go. I'll handle things here.

I could just…

[comical music plays, ends]

-[upbeat music playing over speakers] -[Iblis] Oh Pan-geum!

Buy that to eat. That one.

Why are you walking around eating raw tofu?

I hear this is post-police food.

Oh Pan-geum, you should drink some black goat extract.

To live a long life.

I don't have that kind of money! Why don't you buy me one, then?

I can't buy things for you. I only make recommendations.

Honestly, I can't tell if you're a bastard or just pitiful.

Goodness me.

-What? -Hey, would you look at that?

Goodness, that puppy is bouncing around on its own.

How incredible, no?

-Wow. What is this? -Come and have a look.

-How adorable! -It's walking!

It's so cool. [laughs]

[Iblis] Hey, it's walking but still stays in the same spot.

How is that?

[toy squeaking]

[Iblis] At least her joints seem strong.

-[grunts] -My apologies.

What is it?

There's this thing called fireworks today.

-Do you know when and where? -[chuckles]

The fireworks? They'll be set off after the sun sets.

You'd get the best view from there.

Enjoy.

The best view is that way?

[hums]

[thug 1] Ta-da.

Damn, that fucker looked like he was loaded.

But he was broke, damn it.

[thug 2] Well, well. Look at these motherfuckers with no common decency.

What do you think you're doing on our turf?

We thought we'd visit the cherry blossom festival.

The spring breeze is a-blowing.

The cherry blossom festival is our turf.

We didn't go against the current to invade your cherry salmon festival, did we?

You could always come to next year's.

What, should we send you an invite?

Great, you should all get prosthetics while you're here.

You know the health services in Cheongpung are first-class.

[upbeat music plays]

-What the… -What the heck?

[sighs in relief]

What a relief! I almost got beat up by the lump of clay again.

And who's this prick?

Hey, which gang are you from?

-What? -Why isn't he answering me?

Just fucking wipe them all out!

[all yell]

-[gasps] -[gasps]

[Iblis] Darn it. I'm in the mood for flowers.

[upbeat pop music plays]

-Damn you! -Hey, you bastard!

[all grunting]

[all grunting]

[fireworks exploding]

[Heung-rye] Wow.

Goodness me.

Oh boy.

[Min-ji sighs]

How stunning.

AS SEXY FUCK YOU

What the…

[Pan-geum] Goodness me, is that…

Is that my Ka-young's name up there?

"As, sexy, fuck, you"?

Wait, what does that mean?

So that prick does have money.

KI KA-YOUNG YOU'RE IN MY HEART

So women really love those words?

Yes, I told you. Just trust me with these things.

They go absolutely wild.

She'll be corrupted in no time. [laughs]

Perfect.

[upbeat pop music continues]

KI KA-YOUNG FUCK YOU

[sighs] That son of a gun.

[Ejllael] That's what I always think when I see Iblis too.

I'm glad you relate, Ms. Ki Ka-young.

What brings you here? You don't even have a car since you can fly.

Everyone in the village is at the festival.

I came as things are quiet.

Do you have something to say to me?

I won't return your feather.

[laughs, inhales]

It's yours.

What species are you, anyway?

Just as there are Yorkshire terriers and Chihuahuas,

there are humans, angels, devils, and genies. So which are you?

I'm obviously his servant. You saw my wings. I'm an angel.

Right, an angel?

I thought I'd double-check since your wings were black.

You do volunteer lunch runs, right?

For a while, I've been thinking it's odd

how every time you deliver lunch, the elderly person

ends up dead.

I guess one could see it that way, but try switching the order of events.

I visit dying elders to bring them peace.

[tense music plays]

I see.

One more thing.

Several of your buildings are within a one-kilometer radius of my auto shop,

and you never hid your identity from me.

Are you spying on me?

I am. To be more precise, I'm working on his orders.

What are they? His orders?

"If there comes a moment that Iblis bows his head before a human, you shall

slit your brother's throat."

Isn't that thrilling?

That's why I'm going to do my best to make sure Iblis doesn't win you over.

[tense music continues]

It's too late.

Pardon?

Get lost so I can close shop.

Right.

Is that the time?

[clears throat]

But why are you being so rude?

Who knows? Maybe because psychopaths can't hide their displeasure?

Or because you're trying to kill him when I'm his master?

Or maybe because

he's already won me over.

Which of these do you think it is?

[tense music continues]

[Ejllael] I knew I was right about her.

-[sighs] -[footsteps approaching]

A STUDY OF PSYCHOPATHS

Did something happen?

-I brought the books-- -Throw them out again.

Psychopath? [yells] I'm absolutely certain!

[sighs] I should've known it was too lucky.

[sighs] At this rate, there's no telling about her last two wishes.

Should I have taken my scythe with me?

She had the audacity to tell me to "get lost."

Like she was dismissing me!

-To you, Master? -Yes.

You do look a little young for your age.

[sighs]

[keys clacking]

Did you see the fireworks? Weren't they cool?

I did that, you know.

[sighs] Why did you choose that…

Please, no!

Hey, no using cheats like that!

So you were behind the fireworks?

-Yes. -[sighs]

I wondered which crazy fool was behind them.

Crazy what?

[exclaims] Hey, where do you live? Lead the way, punk.

[Min-ji] And where do you live?

Lead the way.

Pardon?

The typical psychopath

will harm others

to get what they want.

But my dear Ka-young is a little different.

Her grandma and the entire neighborhood rallied to raise her with hope,

so even though she may not feel guilt,

she knows to stay within her learned boundaries.

Mmm.

[clicks tongue] All right. So what?

So I'm saying I don't like you, you jerk.

Ka-young will stay within those boundaries no matter what,

and I will protect Ka-young as she does so.

Whether it be psychologically…

[grunting]

…or physically.

I'm her knight in shining armor, you see.

You are, aren't you?

All this time, I thought you were a girl! Wow! [chuckles]

This is on the house. [chuckling]

[both laughing]

[laughing]

-[laughing] -[Min-ji] Why are you laughing?

Funniest thing I've heard in 983 years.

[Min-ji laughing] Nine hundred and eighty…

-What the hell are you talking about? -[both laugh]

Now that we have a man in the mix, you come to a seafood stew joint?

I can't believe you.

I didn't come. I just stopped by.

I'll drop Min-ji off, so I'll see you at home.

Can't I take her home?

We've actually bonded. Honestly. Master?

[chuckles] Just call me "ma'am."

-Do you need anything else? -Mmm…

Benevolence?

[quirky music plays]

Min-ji didn't pay before she left, but I'm…

[claps, inhales]

…I'm completely broke.

[both laughing]

I know about that. Allow me.

I've reached 112, right?

I'm turning myself in.

[huffs] Eating without paying? Seriously?

This is unfair. I didn't even eat. I just did the "not paying" part.

Shut it.

Why did you call me to bail you out?

What about the one who's like you? That angel!

[scoffs]

You're mistaken about that.

Not only are Ejllael and I different species, we're on bad terms.

You and I are also on bad terms.

What's with you lowering your voice?

I may be Satan, but this is no laughing matter.

Ejllael and I fought a long battle.

The war was devastating for me too.

Why did you go to war?

-[dramatic music plays] -[crashing]

[Iblis] He created angels from light

and genies from smokeless fire.

The genies created from fire grew increasingly arrogant,

even aspiring to surpass Him.

In his rage, he sent the angels and ordered them to decimate us.

[dramatic music continues]

The angels came down and began slaughtering all the genies,

and Ejllael led the charge.

The war lasted 300 years,

and I lost most of my brothers as a result.

So your quarrels turn into full-blown wars of the gods?

I've rarely seen my brothers since then.

Partly because I defied his orders and ended up in hell.

And once released, I ended up trapped for almost 1,000 years, so there's that.

Where are your surviving brothers now?

I'm not sure.

They're probably inhabiting rings or lamps

or living out their days in a pot.

They may be controlling sleep…

[enchanting music plays]

…or tending to the flowers of souls.

Or perhaps controlling the rain.

One controls the rain?

-What? -Can't you find him? Find him and--

Can't. No longer with us.

I think Sade is looking for me.

I'm pretty sure Sade isn't looking for you.

[gentle music plays]

[Iblis exclaims]

Wow.

Miss, does the owner of this car live in this neighborhood?

Yes.

Must be a crypto bro.

I used to drive one of these.

That's the 2024 model.

[drill whirring]

Hey, come on!

I said to patch the puncture, not take the tire off!

It needs to be changed.

Did you even report all these? Every one of these modifications?

What are you, a civil servant? Why would I report anything?

Hey, put it back on.

-Where do you live? -[scoffs]

Why do you ask? [inhales sharply]

Like what you see?

Just concerned you'll croak on your way home.

-[scoffs] -Did you do these wheels yourself?

You shoved them on when they don't even fit.

A simple patch-up wouldn't last an hour.

I've explained everything, so call a tow truck and take it away.

I won't fix it.

Is this how you treat your customers? Hey, get over here.

[footsteps approaching]

[comical music plays]

[sighs contentedly] Is everything good?

You drank that?

There were so many bottles. Weren't they for staff?

No wonder they kept going missing.

Wait, what were you saying?

I was just asking for the tow truck number.

Zero, one, zero,

six, three, four…

-Wait, I didn't catch that. -Two…

Did you hit him?

[burps]

Six, three, four… [grunts]

What are you going to do about this random, dreamy vibe?

I'm sorry. I'll report everything.

-I swear. -[Sade] Where are you going?

-Damn it. -Don't go.

[woman 1] Hello, ma'am.

-[woman 2] Hello. -Thank you. Feel free to browse.

Who's in charge of this display?

Who's responsible for this station?

Hey, you're back!

I'm sorry, Im-seon.

I had to step out for a moment. My bowels were acting up again.

[chuckles]

Don't you think it's wrong to call your branch manager by name?

At our age, we're all a little unwell.

Is it too much to ask you to do your job?

I can't take any more of this crap.

Ms. Jung Yeong-sun. What did you just say?

I said I can't stand it anymore. This is so ridiculous that I quit.

Im-seon, this is just wrong.

Has the late promotion gone to your head?

Ms. Jung Yeong-sun!

I don't know how you were even promoted,

but is this how you treat your coworkers?

We've all heard the rumors about you taking bribes from vendors.

[angrily] Do we look like fools?

Yeong-sun, please!

[Im-seon] How could I be so stupid?

I shouldn't have asked to be a branch manager at this age.

People look down on me, and I keep making mistakes.

[panting]

I guess I could get to it a bit quicker.

Excuse me? [sniffles]

Here's my second wish.

Take me back 20 years

and make me branch manager then.

If I'd made branch manager back then, just imagine all the money.

[chuckles] Mmm.

[chuckles]

Shall we go, then? Twenty years into the past?

[chuckles softly]

-[whooshing] -[dramatic music plays]

BRANCH MANAGER KANG IM-SEON

-[gasps] -[cell phone ringing]

Go through that door, and it will be 20 years in the past,

and you will still be the branch manager.

Talk to me.

[ominous music plays]

Why are you alone? Where's Dad? He said he'd pick you up.

Dad has work to do.

Long time no see.

Do you still like hot chamomile tea?

Yes. I'm still a psychopath, so caffeine isn't good for me.

[laughing]

You haven't changed a bit.

I thought you'd at least ask, "What brings you here?"

I moved here with my wife and son.

Take good care of us. I found out about this place thanks to you.

I don't recall ever telling you exactly where I live.

Not many University of Science grads run auto shops.

I guess.

Either way, it's good to see you again. You look great.

How's business?

[Ka-young] True joy.

[Sade growling]

[gentle music plays]

I guess the house looked pretty much the same 20 years ago.

Except for you.

[breath trembling]

You grow up to be super pretty 20 years from now.

So careful with this. You wouldn't want to hurt…

-[music distorts] -[gasps]

What is it?

Someone just entered my memory.

[Iblis] Hmm?

Grandma told me not to speak to strangers.

Leave!

-[grunts] -Wait, no!

Hey, you startled me.

[exhales]

So you're clearly as odd as ever.

[laughing]

[Sade] "So you're clearly as odd as ever."

[laughs mockingly]

He was sleazy as hell.

So how did you hurt your head again?

Who else would it be?

She was even worse 20 years ago.

Did you visit the past for a wish?

-Yeah. -[rain pattering]

[thunder rumbling]

[gasps]

[gasps]

-[brushing vigorously] -[ominous music plays]

[thunder crashing]

[nervously] That'll be 18,000 won.

[beeps]

[cashier] I need to see your ID for the alcohol…

[chiptune music playing over arcade machine]

[guard] Ms. Ki!

What's wrong? Is something up?

-Just that it's raining. -[thunderclap]

Keep up the good work.

[yells] Where the hell is he?

-[pattering stops] -Wait, what?

Why is it stopping?

[yells] But it's the rainy season!

Where the hell were you? It rained!

Do you know how long I looked everywhere for you?

Seriously?

Hey, you're the one

who took a rock this big, you know.

You do all that, then I hear about you acting all "odd."

You're deflecting because you're cornered.

I'm in a corner? Who was the jerk who came by the auto shop?

I heard you were giggling with each other.

Kiss me or crack my skull, but just do one.

You can't do both, you serial kisser!

I can't?

Then I choose to crack your skull. Come here.

Hey, come on. You're my master.

[barking]

Shush. We're talking right now.

Come on. Treat me with care.

Take care of me.

-[continues barking] -I said shush!

Why does every damn dog around here bark like mad whenever they see you?

They're just scared I'll take them in.

They need to read human expressions, but I don't have any.

Hey, I don't plan on taking you in either!

[barking]

[growls]

[barking]

Sade!

[sniffing]

I am Genie, the lamp spirit. …shall grant you three wishes…

…no traveling to the future.

Anything besides that,

your wish… is my command.

But before that,

tell all the dogs in the area to stop barking at Ki Ka-young.

If they bark one more time,

I'll change every last one of you into cats.

-Tell him. -[growling, barking]

Ki Ka-young. [barking]

MUTT, AGE 7 MADE FIRST WISH ON MAY 16, 2024

TO BECOME A PERSON, WITH SPECIFICS

CHARMING MIDDLE-AGED MAN IN HIS 40S WHO RESEMBLES DANIEL HENNEY

Now that's not a face you see in these parts.

Is there a film shoot?

Remember I was depressed about losing my eyesight with age?

-Yeah? -I think I just fully recovered.

-Let's go, Yeong-sun. -Sure.

Wow. [chuckles]

[dreamy music plays]

I'm hungry.

Chicken and beer?

Sounds good. Let's do it.

Suit and slicked back hair. Wow, he's doggone handsome.

He's coming this way.

Hand me some blotting paper and lip tint.

-[music stops] -[sniffing]

-[sniffing] -[woman gasps]

-What's he doing? -[woman] He must be crazy!

-My gosh! -[barks]

They say handsome men are either gay or dogs.

His actions clearly show

he's a total mutt.

-[light thudding] -[zip whizzes]

You've run out of water.

Don't skip breakfast tomorrow.

[exhales wearily]

[mutter indistinctly]

Pardon?

The food doesn't taste good.

-It's too bland. -[chuckles]

It's too bland for you?

I should have been more generous with the salt.

[laughs, coughs] I was only joking.

What will happen to me now?

Mmm… A question I'm tired of getting. [chuckles]

One thing's for certain.

-I'll be saving on the cost of salt. -[ominous music plays]

[whirring]

[phone vibrating]

[Ka-young] Yes, Grandma?

[Pan-geum] Ka-young, you're not seeing things again, are you?

You're taking your meds, right? Every dose without missing any?

Yes, you see me take them every day. Why?

[Pan-geum] If you have any wishes, tell me. I'll make them all come true.

Wishes?

[Pan-geum] What is this in the notebook in your room?

Did you like Daniel Henney?

You can see that?

She can see that?

Wait, was it always visible to everyone else's eyes?

You're seriously asking me that?

This damn magic has way too many holes.

This won't do.

We need a safe space to hide the notebook and pen.

Your lamp.

Are you sure only you and Sade can get in?

[inhales sharply]

If they really wanted to, Ejllael or Irem probably could.

But even you couldn't.

So it must be safe.

What does it look like inside the lamp? Is it cozy?

[sighs]

It's dismal.

[clicks tongue]

[gentle music plays]

Do you see this?

Do you get a sense of how lonely I must have been for 983 years?

Sorry, but I don't know what loneliness is.

But you do know to be sorry?

Of course I don't.

But Min-ji told me that leading with that makes me seem considerate.

And you know what considerate is?

Yes. That one's quite easy.

I just need to be honest. For instance, it's something like this.

I heard it all from that brother of yours.

That you'll get your throat slit if you bow your head to a righteous human.

Ejllael, that prick!

That was considerate? Not a threat?

Are you seriously not…

[exclaims]

…scared of me?

To be honest, I don't know what fear is.

But Grandma did say that apathy is the scariest.

My grandma is an incredibly fragile safety feature to my apathy.

If that safety feature…

were to disappear,

there's a chance my violence would take over,

so I'm making preparations.

But you'd know all that from spying on me.

[Iblis] "As natural a death as possible."

I do know, yes.

Like deep-sea equipment failure or a fall on a remote trail.

But why do all that when you don't have emotions or any affection for humans?

I am a stone in a shoe to the people of the world.

I make people uncomfortable.

So I'm removing that stone for them.

For my grandma.

So if you're going to kill me, hurry. And don't go getting your throat slit.

Ejllael?

The more I see that angel, the less I like him.

-Whatever you do, don't lose to him. -Wait, you're actually taking my side?

-Shouldn't I? -You shouldn't. If you do, then…

You know?

I'm going to wring

your neck.

That would make things strange.

We're already strange.

You and I are both antisocial,

so why am I under scrutiny while you're admired?

What exactly was his purpose in making you and me meet?

That's it.

I should have been pondering that.

Not totally clueless.

Okay, we need furniture.

Bring over the table and chairs I made in the workshop.

-[sighs] -[lively orchestral music plays]

No matter which way I look at it,

I don't think you made these.

They seem to be made by a giant corporation.

Don't talk back! You now have two pieces of furniture.

It'd be nice to have another rug, wouldn't it?

[scoffs]

This way. Here.

[Iblis] Hmm.

[automated voice] Starting the cleaning cycle.

[Iblis] Why the hell is this…

Is this used to fix things or to destroy them?

That all depends on you.

[thuds]

Hey!

Go that way, and you won't come back. It'd take over 1,000 years.

That thing.

[chuckles]

[Ka-young] It's coming together.

Now I feel somewhat reassured.

About Ms. Im-seon.

She could have done whatever she wanted beyond the supermarket,

so I wonder why she didn't just leave the supermarket.

That's how humans are.

They dream of being king but fear leaving their domain.

They've seen how kings rule by force, and so they wish for the same.

That's the cowardly nature of humans

and the reason why I hate them.

[diary thuds]

[Ka-young] Hmm. Mmm.

[inhales sharply] He may not be clueless, but he's also not big on enlightenment.

Humans hate you too.

[chuckles nervously]

So that's another use for that. [chuckles nervously]

If I killed you on behalf of all humans, would I go to heaven?

You think it would end at that?

He'd give you heaven if you asked.

-[amusing music plays] -Come here. Get over here.

-Come here. -[Iblis giggles]

-[Iblis grunts playfully] -[Ka-young] Get over here.

-I said come. -[Iblis] I don't want to.

I LAUGH IN MY DREAMS, JOYFULLY

-[Iblis] Let's keep it humane and… -[Ka-young] But you're not human.

Where is that mumbling coming from?

I can hear sound coming from this. Is it a radio?

[Heung-rye] Pan-geum!

Pan-geum, are you home?

Yes, I'm here!

[both exclaim]

[Pan-geum] Goodness, you came all this way in the pouring rain?

-[grunts softly] -[gentle ballad plays]

I think she said…

it's raining.

It seems that way, doesn't it?

Do you have any alcohol here?

Should I buy some?

Wouldn't it be faster…

to go together?

[Iblis] Don't forget we need money to buy alcohol.

-This is all I need. -You'll use that as collateral?

-My goodness. What shall we do? -Grandma?

-Grandma, why are you crying? -[Pan-geum wailing]

-[Ka-young] Good heavens. -What is it?

Why is she crying?

We just heard that the craftsman, Mr. Kim, died.

You know, the man who taught you how to carve wood.

Then why is my grandma crying?

She's crying because she's sad.

She's sad that her friend died.

This is exactly why, you know.

Why people call you a psycho.

Heung-rye!

What?

[wailing] Goodness me!

Death makes life seem so futile. [sobs]

It brings me to tears.

-[soft indistinct chatter] -[soft crying]

[Pan-geum sniffles]

My goodness.

It's so tragic. I can't bear it.

How can you cast the world aside like this?

[Chang-sik sighs]

Even so, they say he passed peacefully as if drifting off to sleep.

Consider that a good death.

There's no such thing as a good death.

I guess you kids would have no idea, with your entire lives ahead of you.

[sighs heavily]

[Pan-geum] I'm not afraid of dying,

but if I think of my darling Ka-young…

[Pan-geum cries, sniffles]

What if my heart suddenly stops

or I have a stroke and collapse?

What if I get cancer and diabetes and end up with dementia too?

Good heavens, how would she ever take care of me?

-Why would you think such silly thoughts? -[melancholy music plays]

[Ka-young] At that moment,

I realized that Grandma must have read the same articles as me.

"An aging society is coming fast."

"Prepare yourself for age-related illness."

"Medical Tomorrow."

I was going to die if Grandma died,

but Grandma actually wants

to live a long and healthy life.

So your point is?

I'll make my second wish.

Make my grandma young.

The same age as me.

This is my second wish.

-[gasps softly] -[upbeat pop music playing]

[upbeat pop music playing]

[theme music playing]

GENIE, MAKE A WISH

So your point is?

I know what I want.

I've thought of something I don't want taken from me.

Especially by death.

Huh?

Death?

I'll make my second wish.

Hold your horses.

Think about it before you make your wish.

Take a calm, hard look at your deepest desires.

Do you really want it enough to sell your soul?

Make my grandma young.

The same age as me.

This

is my second wish.

[intriguing music plays]

[scoffs softly]

But not right away, because the cremation's tomorrow.

So make it happen

exactly 72 hours from now.

You're scheduling your wish?

Hawaii?

Yes. Let's go to Hawaii together.

In three days. For a change of scenery.

Three days? But if we're traveling so far, we'd need--

I've made all the preparations. You just need to show up.

I've already bought the tickets. Non-refundable.

Already? Oh my.

Then I'd better…

Well, we wouldn't want these to go to waste.

We have no choice but to go.

Goodness me.

Is this real or just a dream?

So go and brag to all the other grannies.

Tell everyone in the village, okay?

All right.

CHEONGPUNG VILLAGE HALL

[Heung-rye] Hawaii?

Yes.

I insisted it wasn't necessary,

but my Ka-young had already bought the tickets.

She said I needed a change of scenery.

I couldn't exactly say no.

Surely she can't be making that much money from an auto shop.

I guess she saved everything she could.

Oh boy. [chuckles]

You must be cashing in all your luck late in life.

I'm so jealous.

So when do you leave?

You'll need to pack some kimchi and side dishes.

The day after tomorrow.

I was actually thinking of heading to the market today to make preparations.

Do you need any groceries or anything?

She's actually going to Seoul later today.

For your doctor's appointment, remember?

You're always telling me to go to the doctor.

None of you kids ever mention Hawaii.

[Da-jin] All right.

[clapping] Let's get started with today's class.

All together now. Stretch it out, nice and long.

Stretch.

[Da-jin] To the right.

[Pan-geum] To the right.

-Branch Manager Kang. -[line ringing]

Hello, Manager Kang.

Apparently, Ka-young is taking Pan-geum to Hawaii.

She's had a tough life, but her later years are treating her well.

If you want to go, you could go with your son.

[laughs] Goodness, there's no need.

I shouldn't waste what little money he earns.

-[sighs] -[line rings, stops]

I'll prepare for the rites with your sister-in-law,

so don't you worry.

-[line ringing] -All right.

I can't attend anyway.

I have to go to Seoul to see Jeong-hwa.

Why? Did something happen to her?

[line ringing]

[Im-seom] Where are you?

[Jeong-hwa] Where else? I'm at the college exam prep academy.

I'm at your place right now. Do you really think I didn't check there?

[Jeong-hwa sighs]

I'm canceling your lease.

Did you keep me away just to start this crap?

[inhales, shouts] Do you know what the hell I just found here?

[Jeong-hwa] You're such a pain!

Who are you to snoop around my room?

I'm your mom.

Do you even go to class?

[Jeong-hwa] Right, I wanted to talk to you about that.

I'm not taking the college exams or going to college.

[scoffs] You're not going to college?

What could you do without a degree?

Tell me.

What is it? [loudly] Go on, tell me!

I can make it big without a degree!

Do you even realize

-just how much of a miracle this is-- -[Jeong-hwa] I'm hanging up!

-[line disconnects] -Hello? [breath shaking]

[sobs, yells] Yoo Jeong-hwa!

Why is this happening?

Seriously… [sobbing]

[crying]

[sniffles]

We used to be so close…

when I was a supermarket cashier.

My daughter and I.

[Iblis] If you miss those times, simply go back.

You still have one last wish.

I'm saying you can take it all back.

[ominous music plays]

[sniffles]

I can't use it like that.

It'd be a waste.

I know.

[chuckles softly]

-[watch ticking] -1,247 seconds, 1,248 seconds,

1,249 seconds, 1,250 seconds.

What the… Why isn't he showing up?

-What is he doing? -[wind whooshing]

[exclaims, groans]

Can't you tell the time? Ever heard of being punctual?

Ten seconds to go for my wish. Is it done or not?

[scoffs]

Can't you tell the time?

-We still have three seconds. -[watch ticking]

[alarm chimes]

[energy surges]

[suspenseful music plays]

[Iblis] Your second wish has also been fulfilled.

-Grandma? -[cell phone clatters]

[Pan-geum] Gosh, what time is it? Is it already time to go to the airport?

I haven't even finished packing yet.

[groans]

What's this? How did this come undone?

[sighs]

We should take some gochujang and kimchi, right?

[music intensifies]

Grandma.

You were this pretty?

What are you saying?

I'm all puffy because I crashed right after eating.

[clears throat]

What's with my voice?

You're so much prettier than I imagined you'd be.

It's too early for that.

Who do you think you got those looks from? You got them from me. [chuckles]

[groans] Let's see.

Shouldn't we at least boil some eggs to eat before we go?

[gasps] Goodness me.

Who is that? Is she a friend of yours?

No. You know Min-ji's my only friend.

Then who is that?

I swear I recognize her from…

She looks so familiar…

[suspenseful music plays]

What the…

Is…

Is this a dream?

Something like that.

Do you know who it is now?

[breath trembling]

[gasping]

I know who this is.

This sprightly little thing is…

-[gasping] -[Ka-young] Oh.

If you're going to faint, fall to your left.

[sighs]

This young lady, who once pranced around with the whole town at her fingertips, is…

[sighs, thuds]

If I wore some designer clothes from Ka-young's wardrobe

and some of her pointy heels…

Goodness gracious. Dear Lord. Buddha.

Gods of heaven and earth. Virgin Mary.

Thank you. [wails, thuds]

It wasn't any of them.

-Think more Middle East. -[chuckles]

I've figured it out. It was that thing.

Your notebook. Those wishes.

-That's right. -Really?

So there's no going back, right? [pants, chuckles]

Uh-- [grunts]

Oh. [gasps excitedly]

What do you want with my room?

Which one is Chanel?

-[gasping] -[hangers clattering]

[cawing]

[cawing continues]

Really?

So a lot happened overnight in this tiny village.

[grunts]

Is it me, or have you been working out unusually hard these days?

It seems I'll be spreading my wings more often. [grunts]

They keep tearing my clothes.

So you intend to fly naked?

7,000 liters of water go into making one garment.

So you're actually going to fly naked?

[exhales] Well? Do you have something to report?

Ms. Ki Ka-young has now made her second wish.

A righteous one at that.

Congratulations.

Good intentions don't always lead to good outcomes.

We can't let our guard down.

Where is Iblis?

[Iblis] Yeah, what?

Making her grandma young?

What about it? You call that righteous? [scoffs]

It's fine.

Don't sweat the small stuff.

Just look at Kang Im-seon's eyes. Perfectly wicked.

Hey.

You're the best.

But why do you keep sitting like this?

My damn back.

[groaning loudly]

[tense music plays]

Why are you intruding on someone else's lamp?

Did you make an appointment when you crashed my rooftop?

So Irem sang like a canary again.

Hey. I get you're excited that Ki Ka-young made a righteous wish,

but her first wish was enough for me to slit her throat.

-[whines mockingly] -So, one who was born on Wednesday,

don't interrupt my precious contemplation and get lost, will you?

[laughs] Contemplation, my ass. You were rattled and talking to yourself.

Satan, who was born on Thursday.

Rattled? Me? [laughs]

You don't have a clue.

Once you see Gu Bo-gyeong and Eom Sang-tae…

Oh. It's written all over their faces. They will be corrupted.

Oh, and the mutt?

Come on, you already know.

I said stop disrupting the human world.

If a dog becomes a man, is that the end of it?

What about people's memories if someone becomes young overnight?

Gold and riches? You know it won't work.

You can't deposit over ten million without providing a source!

Your methods? They're so old-school.

You no longer have a use in this world.

Even so,

how could you say such…

You're gassing me, you know.

-"Gaslighting." -[hesitates]

Sade, that jerk!

What will you do if I prove that I do have a use?

-[sighs] -[man] Mr. Genie?

Where are you?

-[sighs] -[man] Mr. Genie.

Do your best to prove it, then.

Everyone will start seeking you out now.

As long as you're not seeking me out.

Yes, I'm coming, Mutt.

Where are you right now?

[whooshes]

Help me live like an actual person. [panting]

I look like a person.

But as for what I can do… [sniffs]

[in English] Nothing. [exhales]

[in Korean] I can't do anything.

[in English] You know?

[in Korean] That's your second wish?

It's the same as your first.

What's with the manner of speech? [laughs] Is it a shtick?

[in English] No, no, no.

[in Korean] My dad

was a foreign dog.

Anyway,

I need money. And ID.

-I must have money and ID. -[sighs]

I also find modern society so hard.

And I suddenly have five wish-makers.

[sniffing]

I'm just as baffled as you.

All right. How about this?

I'll turn you into someone who doesn't need ID.

What kind of person would that be?

The kind of person who pays

to hire people who do have IDs.

[chimes]

GOBLIN STATIONERY

[Iblis] The key here is wet hair.

A man who'd rather boil to death in a suit steps out of the driver's seat.

[upbeat music plays]

And you? Ha!

You're in the back seat.

Hey. Look over there.

-Where? -Damn.

Looks like the fucking top dog.

How did that motherfucker end up with a car like that?

[sighs] I'm damn jealous.

He probably worked like a dog.

I wish I had a dogshit ton of money to flaunt too.

[growls]

[student] He's coming this way.

[clicking tongue] Hey, you punks.

You once kicked a dog in this alleyway, didn't you?

Are you familiar with cocker spaniels?

You mean one of the top three unhinged breeds?

-So, what if we are? Oh, are you that dog? -[chuckles]

Then I guess you know why I'm doing this too? Hmm?

-[snarls] -[student 1] The hell?

[student 2] Hey, are you okay?

-[student 1] This motherfucker! -[student 2] You crazy fuck!

Hey, you son of a bitch!

-[growling] -[yelping]

-[panting] -[student 2 panting]

For your troubles.

And don't ever mess with dogs again.

I'll be watching you. [snarls]

[student 1] Hey. The money. Pick up the money.

-Just pick it up already. -[growls]

[sighs heavily]

Damn it.

-[keypad beeping] -[safe clanks opens]

[Iblis] I can't believe your passcode is actually 1004. [cackles]

[tense comical music plays]

[Ejllael] Damn it.

[shouts] Iblis, you satanic asshole!

-[door slams] -[running footsteps]

Grandma?

Grandma?

[gasps, sighs]

[muttering]

[sighs] A leather jacket in this heat?

[peppy music plays]

[humming]

[gasps, exhales]

Chanel.

[grunts]

Mmm! [giggles softly]

[loudly] Grandm…

-[grunts] -[giggles softly, gasps]

[clears throat]

[scoffs]

[peppy music continues]

[pants, exclaims]

[exhales]

I'm not out of breath. Not even close to exhausted.

My hip is like new.

[gasps excitedly, chuckles]

-[squealing] -[gasps]

-[giggling, gasping] -[motorbike whirring]

Grandma, watch out!

[gasps]

[chuckles]

You good, son?

You should respect your elders, young lady.

"Young lady"? [laughs excitedly]

"Young lady"?

[squeals, chuckles] "Young lady"!

-[whooping] -[scoffs]

[comical music plays]

[humming]

Uh…

[exclaiming excitedly]

[Ka-young] Grandma's going to need some rules too.

Mmm.

[Pan-geum humming]

-Ooh. -Aren't you hot?

[Pan-geum] No way.

I'm at the perfect temperature. Why?

Everything I say now is a rule you must follow, no matter what.

First, never answer this phone.

Never. Not with this new nightingale voice of mine.

I won't answer.

New cell phone, okay. What else?

By the way…

Second, if anyone asks why you're here?

For a six-month countryside stay.

Third. From where?

-Hadong? -Hey, Ki Ka-young?

But Hadong's out in the country too.

Say you're from Cheongdam, Seoul. And your name…

I already picked one.

Lee Mi-ju. Suits me, doesn't it?

Great. Fourth. Drop that dialect from now on.

This is between him, you, and me.

So you need to stick to the rules and not get caught. Got it?

Come on, now. Do you think I'm some nitwit?

When I was young…

Hold up, I am young now.

The thing is, I just want to know what's on the menu for dinner tonight--

You don't even need to eat. Why are you pigging out?

-Grandma. Use a Seoul dialect. -[tuts]

Goodness gracious!

That scared the daylights out of me!

[clears throat]

Oh, sorry. That freaks me out every time.

Anyway, when I was young,

I was also pretty chic and had big dreams

Ah. Do you still need to go to the salon to enter the Miss Korea pageant?

You have a monolid. You wouldn't make the cut.

Don't think about anything else. Just go and do something about your hair.

Shouldn't I get eyelid surgery first?

So stingy about food.

I don't even eat that much. [scoffs]

Gosh, this young man sure got here early.

He looks strong too. He'll probably get picked first.

Move over a little. Scooch over.

-Thanks. -Go on, scooch over.

[man] There you go. That's it.

-Wait, I… -Just a little more. That's it.

They'll fall off.

Okay, I need people to work the cabbage patch.

First 15.

-Me! -Hey, me!

What are you doing? Are you all uncomfortable?

Me too!

I'm very uncomfortable. Me!

[man] Here, me!

I'm extremely uncomfortable!

[man humming, mumbling]

[energetic music plays]

[Iblis grunting]

[man 1] Come and have your meals!

Enjoy your meals.

-[man 2] I know, right? -Did someone go buy rice wine?

-[man 3] He's on his way to buy it. -Right away?

-[man 3] He's off to get it. -[grunts]

Wow, this is…

-[man 4] Goodness, thank you. -[man 5] Oh, thank you.

[indistinct chatter]

Eating without paying? Seriously?

Thanks to you, we can call it a day now. [chuckles]

-Hmm? -Here.

-What is this? -[man] Your pay for the day.

I get paid too?

-[man laughs] -Huh?

-[man 2] Thank you. [laughs] -Incredible!

[man 1] I thought I was going to die.

[man 2] You here? Go on, sit.

Scooch over. Come on.

-Hey. -You're here again!

Hi, Mr. Kim.

-[light thuds] -[tires screech]

-[squeaks] -[engine whirring]

[breathing laboriously]

[Sang-tae] What is this?

[deer breathing laboriously]

What a fucking pain in the ass.

You should have just died.

-[wind whooshes] -[grunts]

[wind blowing]

Who are you?

Where did you come…

Did you see that?

Yes, I saw it all. But that's not important.

I am Genie, the lamp spirit. I shall grant you three wishes.

No reviving or going to the future.

Anything besides that, your wish is my command.

Mister, are you drunk or something?

Just go on your merry way.

And know you're only alive because you're a guy.

You can see me?

Man, I was in a rush and came as myself!

I was first in line too. Now hurry, what's your first wish?

[scoffs] What a joke.

Who the fuck let this moron out this early?

You're a genie?

Then bring this back to life.

[intriguing music plays]

Thank you so much for your prompt wish.

It's possible because it's still breathing. Mmm.

[chiming]

[bellows]

[Iblis] Look at it go.

Shall we keep it rolling and get to your second wish?

[yells] Fuck!

[inhales] This is real?

[loudly] That's seriously fucked up!

[pants, yells] You should have told me that it was real!

I just blew a wish on nothing, you motherfucker!

-[panting] -[engine revving]

-[tires screech] -[yelps]

[metal clanks]

[suspenseful music plays]

You fucking moron.

If you're a genie, that makes me your master.

Treat me like it, damn it!

Why should I? That's a misconception.

I may grant wishes, but I can also have a nasty temper.

Like this.

[Sang-tae grunts, groans]

[groaning] Just a moment. Please.

So that means I have two wishes left, right? [panting]

Wait, where did the lamp go? Why can't I see it?

The lamp will appear when you desire something enough to wish for it.

Give it careful thought before summoning me.

And don't bother trying to control me, you lowly human.

Ah. And there's no point trying to remember my face.

I'll look different to you anyway.

[laughs cunningly]

Fucking piece of shit!

[music intensifies, fades]

[Da-jin] Good morning, Homies!

We're up early today to plant some lettuce.

A lot of you struggle with insomnia, don't you?

I have bad insomnia too.

So I'll grow these and "roar!"

Gobble them all up.

All right, lettuce seedlings need to be planted 20 centimeters apart.

Let's plant one here, and…

Another one over here.

One here.

Oh…

YOU'RE GOING TO KEEP ME UP AT NIGHT!

YOU'RE KILLING ME! ZOOM IN MORE!

I think we'll end today's live here. See you again when the lettuce has grown!

Hey, what? Why are you… [sighs]

-What was that? They were loving it! -[deep sigh]

-You zoomed in again, didn't you? -What?

Well, you know, you leaned over, and I was just filming.

-[chuckles, groans] -What did you say? You sick bastard.

Here. I present to you my left cheek.

Come on, they say to love thy enemies. Mmm.

-You sly dog. You deserve a smack! -Hey, come on. Quit it!

[Sade] I've looked into it, and you know that sleazy guy?

This country has a university that's really good in terms of science.

That's where the two met.

-Really? What did they do? -[panting]

They were in the waltz club.

What?

Waltz?

[waltz music playing]

How unexpected.

I didn't think you'd be into waltzing.

I wasn't interested at first,

but a hometown friend of mine suggested it,

saying it's better to break down beats than heads.

[laughs]

You sure are quirky.

By the way, I saw you turned down the President's Scholarship again.

Thanks to you, I get to study abroad. Maybe a research lab in the Arab League.

Thanks.

Don't mention it.

I'm loaded, so I could pay for the trip myself.

Didn't you say you were from a small town somewhere in Chungcheong-do?

Our chili crops are booming.

Man, you're so… [laughing]

[waltz music continues]

[music slows, stops]

-I'm the best here, right? -Yeah.

-[whooshes] -[grunts, thuds]

[groans in pain]

-Are you okay? -There's nothing there.

-[man 1] What's with you? -Damn it.

[man 2] What's wrong?

You sure did fall over in a very quirky manner.

-What's gotten into you? -What is it?

Is your face okay?

That's where you fell, right?

Who is this bastard--

Come on, you're hurt. Don't bother trying to answer.

Does it hurt a lot? Did you break this bone here?

-[muffled groaning] -[cracking, snaps]

[waltz music paying]

[knock on door]

We have guests.

[Chang-sik clears throat]

[Jong-heon] What's with this savage place?

Will you even get a word in?

It sure seems like… How should I put it?

Not like an ordinary home.

Right. It really does draw you in.

Don't be a scaredy pants.

Right.

You sure have a large family.

What? Are you all brothers?

How patriotic of your parents. Are we still waiting on the adults?

Can I help you?

Right, I guess introductions are a little overdue.

I'm the chief of Cheongpung Village--

I asked if I can help you.

[ominous music plays]

Well, we heard you'd moved in,

but you haven't shown your face.

You need to complete resident forms, but we didn't bring enough.

We didn't know your family was so large.

Local village news is posted regularly on the Band channel,

so make sure you're subscribed.

Punch your number in.

Goodness, I'm so forgetful. I almost waited to ask you next year.

-Your name is? -It's Jung Jun-u.

Hey, give him your number.

[ominous music continues]

I wasn't done talking over here…

Mmm?

What was that?

What are you doing?

Protecting Grandma.

It all rides on keeping this quiet. See if the screen's getting an image.

Is that your third wish?

If you're not going to help, piss off.

Oh!

Is that your third wish?

Why are you on about wishes again?

I grew up to be so pretty with no scars.

When I was eight, you told me not to get hurt.

Haven't you heard of white lies?

All lies are bad. They steal chances to grow.

Oh. Is that why you're working so hard to install security cameras?

Because you're so honest, Ki Ka-young? [scoffs]

[whooshes]

[tools clattering]

Hey, why aren't you barking at me? Huh?

[Mi-ju grunts] I swear this is the spot. Where is it?

Darn it.

-The money isn't there. -[gasps]

It hasn't been for ten years.

You startled me, you brat.

I nearly had a heart attack.

-Unlikely. Your heart's young now. -[exhales]

I dug up all the money you buried and donated it.

What?

How did you know about it?

Wait. All of it? There was so much.

-Just the starting amount. -Just the starting amount?

So you made some money off it?

Hand it over. Let's split it 50-50.

Even grandparents get paid to babysit these days, you know.

Half would be way too much.

I've made a killing with it in stocks.

Stocks?

That thing you had me sign?

[Min-ji] Aggressive investing as a mere high schooler?

[exhales] I saw all the stocks you bought skyrocketing

and thought you were possessed or something.

But then you used that money to pay my college tuition,

and you became a god-like figure to my mom.

I thought to myself, "You're actually someone's god."

"How awesome."

"I'm finally escaping this town. How exciting!"

Are you done eating?

It just came out, so of course not. Not by a long shot.

What are you staring at anyway? Is something going on?

I want to hurry home.

Why?

Because of that jerk?

I told you not to get too serious with some jerk you don't know.

Hey, what are you doing here?

Didn't you go to Hawaii with Pan-geum?

[tense music plays]

Uh, something came up, so I couldn't go,

but Grandma didn't want to waste the ticket.

She went on her own so she wouldn't waste the swimsuit she'd bought.

Alone?

And why isn't she answering her phone?

It's a long flight, a different time zone, and with no roaming, no news is good news.

Grandma went to Hawaii? Alone?

Goodness, she's always so damn tactless.

You could've given me the spare ticket.

What use is an unused ticket? [tutting]

Pack up a large to go for me.

That one's just incapable of thinking about others.

No wonder no one speaks well of you.

Right. To go.

I'll get the rest of this to go.

-I'll eat this at home. -Then what about me?

I'm still eating.

SOYEON SALON

-[sighs] Mmm. -[scooter approaching]

Move!

-[Min-ji] Hey, watch out! -[exclaims]

-[gasps] -[serene music playing]

Hey, jackass! It's illegal to ride scooters on sidewalks!

-I saw your face, you know. -[chuckles]

Are you all right?

Goodness me, young lady!

Min-ji, you really take no nonsense…

do you, miss?

-Do you know me? -Uh…

You own the dental clinic over there.

You're quite famous.

I'm Lee Mi-ju, and I'm here for a six-month countryside stay.

I read Smile Dental Clinic's a must when visiting Cheongpung,

so I was just thinking about when to go. [laughs]

You were? [chuckles]

Please do. Come whenever.

But judging by that smile just now, you don't have any teeth to fix.

[gasps] Holy smokes. My teeth must have gotten younger too.

You must be from Gyeongsang-do.

Where are you staying?

Well, I… [chuckles]

[inhales] I'm sure we'll bump into each other again, don't you think?

If fate would have it.

[chuckles] Well, sure.

And if you're going to get your hair done…

You have an excellent jawline,

so a simple blowout could add some character

while keeping your volume.

[chuckles softly]

[sighs in relief]

A blowout? Does she realize how much that costs?

I could do that myself at home. Why would I come to a salon?

Shall we, then?

I heard you have something to say.

It's nothing major.

You were classmates with Ms. Ki Ka-young, right?

We weren't close, so…

[girl] What's for lunch today?

[indistinct chattering]

[manager] You may not have been close, but you're not complete strangers, right?

Must I really spell it out?

Do I really need to be doing this? I should be home by now.

All right, look. You know our new pension package?

The only VIP we have who can comfortably afford that package

is Ms. Ki Ka-young, you know?

You could go and see her and do some… you know?

Can't you take some initiative for a change?

I'll think about it.

Now is not the time to say you'll think about it!

I've already done all the thinking for you.

Work it out over the weekend, all right?

[clears throat]

[door opens]

[somber music plays]

[door closes]

[breath trembling]

[inhales]

[deep sigh]

[scoffs] A kettle?

Who the hell used this thing that's a bitch to clean?

-[chimes] -[exclaims]

[yelping] What is this?

[coughing] Is this micro dust or what?

[enchanting music plays]

I am Genie, the lamp spirit.

I shall grant you three wishes. Make them.

No bringing back the dead.

No traveling to the future.

-Anything besides that-- -A genie?

Mmm?

-Wait, I'm not quite done explain… -[chuckles]

[laughing maniacally]

I honestly had faith, you know.

I truly believed that a day like this would come.

I haven't had such a quick response in some time.

I'll make a wish.

For my first wish…

Ki Ka-young, she runs an auto shop.

[music intensifies]

And?

GU BO-GYEONG JUNE 20, 2024

MADE HER FIRST WISH

All right. What was Gu Bo-gyeong's wish?

Tell me quick. I need to go get a refund.

-I'm even dressed for the occasion. -Dressed for a refund?

I got a used spanner set, but the fourth one's missing.

I really like the number four. [inhales]

I won't allow it.

Blood on white clothes. Now that'd be pretty.

So hurry up and tell me.

What did Gu Bo-gyeong wish for?

Give me all the money that's in Ki Ka-young's account.

You want to be rich like Ki Ka-young?

No. That's not it.

I want all the money that's in Ki Ka-young's account.

Every last cent.

[exclaims]

I see.

You want Ki Ka-young's misfortune.

Hmm.

Ah. What should I do?

[energy surges]

It is done.

Really?

[cell phone chimes]

DEPOSIT, KI KA-YOUNG 10,000,000 WON

[screaming excitedly]

And your second wish?

Wait, just a moment.

I don't have to make it right away, do I?

[chuckles] For now…

I just want to cherish this moment.

[intriguing music playing]

[Iblis] Ki Ka-young, who said humans are kind, has appeared in another's wish.

Still believe in humans?

It does make me angry how she singled me out.

But a bet is still a bet.

Kang Im-seon, Eom Sang-tae, and Gu Bo-gyeong.

I think I'll be winning this bet.

WANTED EVERYTHING IN KI KA-YOUNG'S ACCOUNT, EVERY LAST CENT

Yes.

It does seem to be heading that way.

So just stay still.

-[gentle ballad plays] -[hesitates]

What are you doing?

You asked to be taken care of. So I'm doing just that.

I can't do this if I lose.

Boy, my dear Lee Beul-li is warm.

My darling Satan sure is warm.

My dear Iblis is so warm.

I've been curious for a while.

Why doesn't that hourglass flow? Doesn't that mean it has no purpose?

Because it's a coffin, not a clock.

That's you in there.

I was locked up with a handful of you.

A coffin?

[grunts]

Oh. So a coffin can actually be this tiny.

Damn, I got mine down to a size five Korea Post box.

We were so warm just now.

Are you seriously flash-freezing me out?

[Ka-young] Did you hold rites for me?

[chimes]

[tense music plays]

-Huh? -[rapid ticking]

[music swells]

-[indistinct shouting] -Cast the Goryeo bitch aside too!

Please.

[music intensifies]

[laughing]

[gasps]

What is it?

So it really was me.

The laughing girl in my dreams.

I've dreamed about this place.

The decor is a little different,

but it was definitely here.

I was laughing here.

What are you talking about?

You've never been in here. Not once in the past.

Then did I see the future?

It was definitely me.

I was smiling. Like this.

That creepily?

Where did you hide my toolbox?

You should've taken it in.

Even if there are issues,

I'll need to order parts, so I can't fix it right away.

It's all right. Just do a regular checkup.

Wait here. I need to go to the bank quickly.

[objects clattering]

Look away.

-I don't like it when people watch me. -[thuds]

-[screeches] -[thuds]

Is it okay for an adult to speak so harshly to a child?

You think being young gives you a pass?

Go sit over there and read your book.

I've already finished it.

HISTORY OF GORYEO

In Goryeo times, Arabia was called Saracen, and the two had close ties.

But the exchanges stopped after the year 1040.

I wonder why.

Did someone block the path?

It wasn't me.

Do you know "Twin Flower Shop"? The Goryeo-era song?

They say the foreign man in the song was actually an Arabian merchant.

If he came all the way to Goryeo from Arabia,

there must be people who traveled from Goryeo to Arabia, right?

Ask the Internet, not the auto shop.

[distant footsteps]

What is it now?

[loudly] Hey, part-timer!

Did you call me?

Watch the shop for a bit.

Those are some of my favorite heels!

[mysterious music plays]

[Mi-ju exclaims]

Wait.

[exhales]

[pop music playing on speaker]

Let's see.

Come on. What's wrong with this thing?

[mumbles]

[serene music plays]

If you're getting coffee, this one's good.

So we did run into each other. Like fate.

[chuckles softly]

It's such a small town.

You go first.

So you weren't wondering what to drink.

Haven't you used a kiosk before?

Well, about that…

So you always had someone to do it for you?

Who were the jerks who did it all for you?

[giggling]

This coffee tastes better with an extra shot.

[chuckles softly]

Why are you laughing?

Because I'm grateful, and you're cute.

That's a pretty dangerous thing to say.

You straightened your hair. It's pretty.

[exclaims] It's not pretty at all.

It's… Oh!

Maybe it's because my clothes are doing all the work.

Your clothes

are a no.

What?

[laughing]

-[chuckles] -[Mi-ju] Oh gosh.

[Iblis] What are you doing?

[distant laughter]

[Ka-young] Keeping an eye on Grandma.

But she keeps laughing.

Look.

True joy.

Why is that?

They grow up so fast. [tuts]

Damn it.

She should just live with Min-ji, then. [tuts]

[Iblis] By the way,

about that thing where you show me care.

What are the rules for that?

Is it the time, the place,

the day, or the outfit?

Does it matter?

I feel like trash, so don't talk to me.

Come on.

No, that's not it!

Seriously.

[yells] That's not it

[sighs in annoyance]

[angrily] Iblis!

[grunts]

[pants]

Why aren't they coming out?

[exhales]

You, come with me.

[Iblis exclaiming]

[grunts]

[instrumental music playing]

[sighs]

You completely emptied my safe

and gave that huge amount of money

to that mutt.

You told me to consider modern systems.

That was the only money that was free from modern-day systems.

And he's not a mutt.

His dad's actually from England and has quite the pedigree.

[chuckles]

Why gouge out the angels' eyes?

Isn't that how the painting was originally?

Originally? [loudly] Originally!

You know what it took to restore it?

[sighs]

I can't take it anymore.

[suspenseful music playing]

[grunts, exclaims]

[exclaiming]

Deary me.

[laughs mischievously]

[grunts]

[both screaming]

[Iblis] Game over.

Ten, nine…

[chuckles]

[yells] Iblis!

[laughing, giggling]

Please.

[Ka-young] What could it be? The sword?

-Please. -[Ka-young] The reaping hook?

-Please. -[Ka-young] The axe?

Please.

[Ka-young] I must have asked for a sword that can cut a head clean off. Yes.

[distant cawing]

[crows cawing]

[suspenseful music playing]

Why would you come to my house?

Don't tell me you came for my grandma.

If so, you're dead.

You may be the lamp's master, but you can't kill me.

-And I'm here to see you. -Me?

So I'm dying?

[scoffs] Don't worry about that.

Not for today, at least.

I know you made your second wish.

What does that have to do with you?

I thought I might help you

decide on your final wish.

[intriguing music plays]

Do you know the reason Iblis

wants to kill you?

Because I locked him up in his lamp.

So he wants to get revenge.

That's right.

Then what might be the reason you died?

Aren't you curious…

about what happened?

Won't you come with me…

to the moment you died?

[music intensifies]

[rock fusion music plays]

[theme music playing]

GENIE, MAKE A WISH

[birds cawing]

Won't you come with me

to the moment you died?

How could I trust you?

[chuckles softly]

I followed his orders and bowed before the first human.

Iblis has been my brother for the longest and my enemy for just as long.

Iblis is trying to kill you, Ms. Ki Ka-young.

The enemy of an enemy…

is surely a friend?

[tense music plays]

Piss off.

-Why? -Your face just now.

You were being deceptive.

-Whoa! -Ooh! What? Did you bite your tongue?

Someone just whacked my master.

Really?

Someone who would beat up Ejllael? I only know of two.

-[yelling] -[keys clacking]

One of them is occupied, which means…

[screams]

Oh! I have to get to work early tomorrow, so I'm off.

[Sade] Good morning, Ms. Ki.

Did something happen?

We're with the police.

[gasps] Did Ejllael report you for assault? He is a stickler for protocol.

I think you're the one who's ratting me out right now.

-They're on a missing persons case. -Ah.

Do you recognize this woman? This village was her last known location.

[sniffing]

I tend to track things by scent.

Oh. [grunts]

We haven't seen her.

Could I take a picture of this?

[officer] Sure.

Please do get in touch if anything comes to mind.

[clicks]

[suspenseful music plays]

BLACK HAIR DYE

That's strange. I was just here last week.

Why'd they request another visit so soon?

Anyone home? Ms. Shin Suk-ja? It's your water filter technician.

[sniffing] Oh!

What's that smell?

-[siren chirps] -[woman 1] Apparently, she died alone.

[woman 2] Who found her?

Her kids must not have checked in on her.

Why do you always handle things in such a complicated manner?

If I am to keep accompanying those who die alone,

I must adapt to human protocol.

I made every report myself until about 40 years ago.

I was really busy back then.

I'd listen to the dying's last complaints and file the reports,

all in heavy clothes.

Oh.

I can't.

I can't leave my sick girl behind. I just can't.

Please give me more time until my granddaughter gets better.

[sobbing] Please.

You don't have to worry about that.

It's not you.

It's her. [gasps]

[cries] No, it can't be!

Then the police started looking for me.

Because death follows me everywhere.

I'm probably still wanted by Interpol.

I see.

Then why were you hit by Ms. Ki Ka-young?

Fail to consider protocol when convincing her?

Hmm. The fact that you know means Iblis already knows too.

-[scoffs] -[Irem] Of course.

I hear the talk of the day, and Sade hears the night's.

[sighs]

[Sang-hyeok] Why are you hogging them both?

This is a fight against myself.

Why is an adult doing this in broad daylight?

Are you a bum?

No, I'm a respectable genie.

And I'm immortal, so I'm practically an infant.

Oh. So I'm older than you?

Hey, infant. Move over.

No wonder Ka-young doesn't like you.

[indistinct shouting over arcade game]

[announcer over game] K.O.! Game over!

What did you just say?

Sorry for calling you an infant.

Ki Ka-young doesn't like me?

If anyone should dislike anyone, it's me. Did she tell you that?

Please tell me everything you know, Mr. Sang-hyeok.

[Sade] Master.

[indistinct chatter over game]

Ejllael personally went to the lump of clay's house? Why?

I hear he was being all enchanting,

saying, "Won't you come with me to the moment you died?"

The moment she died?

That won't be good for me.

And?

When he said that, Master's master told Ejllael to "piss off" and then just

-went for it. -[groans]

She doesn't give me dinner if she's in a mood.

[sighs] I should go check.

Distract the man.

The man?

Ki Ka-young!

[gasps]

Wait, this is my carpet.

Gosh, how could she use it to…

[mutters, grunts]

[hesitates] You're wearing Versac…

You're doing this while wearing that?

Ki Ka-young will be mad.

The only way to train my eye for fashion is to wear stuff like this every day.

Right, I made hamburger steaks.

Leave some for Ka-young. She'll be home late.

Where did she go? She wasn't at the auto…

Right.

Today's the fourth.

[gentle music plays]

[Ejllael] Aren't you curious

about what happened?

[soft rumbling, whooshing]

[Iblis] You really are doing

your utmost to die, aren't you?

It's not fair.

What exactly was his purpose in making you and me meet?

[Iblis] Well, based on your actions, it couldn't have been to make me happy.

I don't know his intentions, but if you do die, it'll be at my hands.

If you'd like, we can say that's the reason we met.

[woman] Yoo Jeong-hwa hasn't attended class for over a month.

[sighing]

[cell phone vibrates]

-[tense music plays] -[tensed breathing]

Which room is this?

Spare me the bullshit about privacy and hand me the key,

or I'll call the police.

She's my daughter, and the boy she's with is a minor.

-[muffled chatter] -[beeps]

[Jeong-hwa] So fucking annoying.

They're fucking terrible. Fucking idiots.

Pull your weight, damn it.

[boy] You suck ass too.

[Jeong-hwa] I'm doing perfectly well right now.

How long do other people

keep theirs before making it?

The third wish, I mean.

The longest was a guy who held on to it for 72 years.

[chuckles] Wow.

I get it though.

Caught between the despair that there's only one left

and the euphoria of knowing that you still have one,

you don't want to break the spell.

[chuckles wearily]

Tell me.

What did he wish for?

Most humans make their first wish right away,

afraid that their newfound luck may vanish.

Then they use their second wish,

patching up the first one they rushed to make,

cursing themselves for their failure to wish for more.

And then, they live in hell, clinging to their final wish.

Seeking something greater, greater, and greater still.

He made his final wish after 72 years.

He wished for me to forget that he'd already

made two wishes. [laughs]

[suspenseful music plays]

He found the greatest thing of all.

Does that work?

What do you think?

If you'd like to know, try it.

-[chuckles smugly] -[suspenseful music intensifies]

[music stops]

[exhales excitedly]

[clears throat]

[gasps] Goodness me.

[Ka-young] Always put the purse back in its dust bag.

Do not wear on rainy days.

Never ever wear hot pink Crocs with this outfit.

This outfit goes with both sneakers and heels.

Keep the shoes simple for a smart look. And carry this purse.

No fruit knives in the purses.

My goodness, this girl.

I see. So this is how you style them.

Let's see.

Today, I choose you.

-[peppy music plays] -Oh.

Uh…

[chuckles in delight]

Oh.

[chuckles]

[Mi-ju] 4,000 won?

For one of these?

Goodness me, 4,000 won gets you a loaf of bread.

You're wearing designer heels and a blouse from the latest collection,

yet this is expensive?

[exhales] You sure are strange.

[chuckles] That I am. Very strange.

Come by my place sometime. I'll fry you sweet pancakes.

As big as your face. [chuckles]

Just eat one.

The owner here is one of my patients, and they still need a few more implants.

Then we'd best boost their sales.

Especially if they're Dr. Choi's patients, no?

All right, let's see.

-[squeals] Too sweet. -[chuckles]

Two would be pushing it.

An old-fashioned palate

and an ultra-smooth home invite.

What on earth is this lady's deal?

My deal?

I'm a woman whose life was a teeny bit difficult

but has recently become a teeny bit more fun. Mm?

[both laughing]

[Mi-ju] Mm. Go on. Try it. [chuckles]

Mm!

[Heung-rye] Something's definitely off.

Pan-geum may be having the time of her life in Hawaii,

but there's no way she wouldn't be in touch for this long.

Some crazy crap is going down. I just know it.

Right?

It's one thing not to call us, but she could at least answer our calls.

And it's odd that the moment she left, a total stranger moved in.

Just now, I saw that young woman giggling away over cookies with Dr. Choi.

The other night, I actually saw that girl and Ka-young

digging up Pan-geum's chili field.

I wonder what that was about.

The chili field? Goodness gracious.

Ka-young finally went and did it.

What if she killed her grandma and buried her?

-There's no way. -Come on, Heung-rye.

What do you mean there's no way? The young bitch must be her accomplice!

What are you waiting for? Call Chang-sik!

Ah.

She's a guest at our house for a six-month countryside stay.

Cut the crap.

If she's only staying for six months, why'd she come out of Pan-geum's room?

[Chang-sik] Now, now. Calm down, everyone.

Our village elders have reasonable suspicions given the circumstances,

so you'd best answer honestly.

So, where has your grandma gone?

Hawaii. She said it was her dream when she was young.

She couldn't pick Miss Korea or Hawaii and regretted missing both.

Hawaii?

"You go to Hawaii." That Hawaii?

All by her merry self?

Why are you still going on about old news?

-She went to Hawaii. -Yes?

But she's not answering her damn phone!

-Oh. -She went quietly by herself.

See? She just said "she went"!

I told you she killed her!

-[gasps] -And this outsider's your accomplice?

Goodness, dearie. How could you say something so horrific?

Dearie?

[tense music plays]

[hesitates]

Don't you all call each other that out in the countryside?

That's what they do on TV. [chuckles nervously]

Look at how this minx is squinting her eyes like this.

Look at her.

Who do you think you're fooling?

You call your grandma right now. I want to see her with my own eyes!

She's right. Aren't you even worried? None of us can get hold of her.

What did I tell you? She can't call her.

Just spit it out. You did away with your grandma, didn't you?

What kind of--

You can't. Mm.

[line connects, rings]

[Chang-sik] Hey.

-[line ringing] -It's ringing right now.

It'll ring, but she won't answer.

MS. OH PAN-GEUM CONNECTING

-[line connects] -Huh?

Yes, hello? What is it?

Has something happened? I'm here in Hawaii.

Right, so you're doing fine. It's me, Chang-sik.

-Say hello, everyone. -[upbeat music plays]

[Chang-sik] Is it night over there? Gosh, that's so cool.

[Pan-geum] Just look at the ocean over there. Amazing, isn't it?

-Hand it over! -[Chang-sik] It's a video call!

It's a vid--

You sure are something.

How could you go all by yourself? I heard you had a spare ticket and all!

[Chang-sik] Hand it here. Let's all see.

Hey, look at you! A flower wearing flowers! [laughs]

Goodness, you're all pretty and glowing.

Pan-geum, why didn't you answer our calls? And when are you coming back?

Uh… I was thinking of staying for a few more months.

Ka-young is all grown up now,

and my eldest daughter asked me to come and live with her.

And… Hello?

[distorted] Hello?

[Ok-nam] What's wrong with the connection?

The reception here is…

-Hello? -Right, on your way back, I'd love…

Some jojoba oil, but the line cut out.

Either way, you all saw that, right?

We all suspected Ms. Ki for nothing!

At ease. Everyone, disperse!

Honestly. Let's go pick some strawberries!

Why didn't you call her when we first asked?

You kept talking in circles, like you were hiding something.

Of course I'd suspect you!

You're not exactly normal.

[somber music plays]

[Ka-young sighs]

Uh… [sighs] I thought I'd drop by the village hall,

but I'll lie low from now on.

I caused you such a headache.

[sighs]

[sighs]

Didn't you say you'd come up with perfectly flawless wishes? Ha.

You're grateful as hell?

So it's moments like these.

This is what I get…

for being selfish and making wishes to Satan.

[somber music continues]

[sighs]

Hello.

I'm a student studying how to decipher facial features. [gasps]

-I see you have such a pure soul. -[scoffs]

Of course. I would.

I'm a spirit.

But life's giving you trouble?

How did you…

I ought to take pleasure in my enemy's misfortune, but I don't.

-Why might that be? -Right. Of course you're unhappy.

I see an ancestor of yours died on the road.

My ancestor lives on, immortal. It's my brothers who died far from home.

Almost all of them died in the war against the angels.

I'm just setting the record straight. [pats ground]

Uh… [chuckles nervously] Is that so?

Well, best wishes to you.

Where are you going? That was just the prologue.

The war lasted 300 years!

[music playing faintly over speakers]

Heading home from work?

Ms. Lee?

[gasps] I'm sorry. Could you repeat that?

I'm deaf,

so my responses are delayed.

I need to read your lips.

[woman] Here's your latte.

I had no idea.

Your latte's ready.

I've had a lot of time to practice because I was born this way.

Because one shouldn't hear the secrets of heaven.

Excuse me.

What was that?

Sounded like the line, "Lucifer has come to the school for Satans."

[Irem] I was born from a single breath of white smoke,

drawn from a hookah pipe and exhaled by my master, the angel Ejllael.

When my master made me, he blocked my ears.

-Lest I trill the secrets of heaven. -Hey, stop! You've been so nice to me!

-Don't get bored with me! -[screaming]

-[Iblis] Hey, that's the road! -[honking]

-[tires screech] -[thuds]

[Iblis] Oh, dear.

[indistinct excited chatter]

[man] All right, you're free to enter now!

[Iblis] Hmm?

Hmm?

-[excited chatter] -Mm?

[clamoring]

[cheering, clamoring]

I don't think I've seen you here before.

Auntie!

I told you, that's not the bathroom! Go outside!

So you must all be family.

What do you say? Do you want in on a round?

But I don't know what that is.

And, most importantly,

I'm broke. [laughs]

Don't you worry about that.

You'll learn the rules as you play,

and I can lend you some money.

Let's start with a million with 10% deducted as interest.

Wait, you're just handing me something so precious?

[gasps] Thanks.

You must be the leader of this tribe.

Don't get nervous. I'll approach you slowly.

[siren wailing]

You've dodged the molestation charges.

So people over there really do greet each other by touching noses.

[both laugh]

You may leave once your guardian arrives.

My guardian?

Wait, can't I just go?

You saw me get beaten up last time, didn't you?

Molestation?

First you dine and dash. Now molestation?

-Wear the clip. -[sighs]

-Wear it! -[knuckles cracking]

The thing is,

this all came about because…

Seriously, this is so unfair.

[Ka-young grunting] Get over here.

Unfair? This is unfair?

Come here. [grunting]

Get over here.

Two.

I have two left.

Two.

Two.

SA FAMILY GAMJA-TANG

[excited chatter in distance]

DEPOSIT, KI KA-YOUNG 10,000,000 WON

[breathing heavily]

This is driving me nuts.

CHEONGPUNGHO BANK

The psycho's filthy rich, but her daily transfer limit is ten million!

That won't do.

If we move it all at once, they'd investigate immediately.

I'll figure out the rest myself.

Here's my second wish.

Increase Ki Ka-young's transfer limit to the maximum.

[tense music plays]

[knock on door]

Why would you lock the break room door?

Get out here. Ki Ka-young is asking for you.

I want to increase my transfer limit to the maximum.

[chuckles, inhales excitedly]

Sure.

The maximum is 50 million.

Fill out the blanks here and here. [clears throat]

At the bottom here too.

[suspenseful music plays]

[laughs cunningly]

[printer whirring]

DEPOSIT, KI KA-YOUNG 50,000,000 WON

[gasps, screams]

GU BO-GYEONG, JULY 12, 2024 MADE HER SECOND WISH

INCREASE KI KA-YOUNG'S TRANSFER LIMIT

Every human I've seen loved money the most and hated losing it the most.

Don't you?

Didn't you see me write fast because I hate it?

But if it's to validate humanity, losing money would be worthwhile.

-It would prove my arrogance. -[scoffs]

So stop gloating. I know I'm losing.

Why were you in the water?

-Hmm? -Those bubbles were you, right?

I'll go wherever I want.

It's not like you own the ocean. [scoffs]

Is there anything you hate in particular?

Like garlic?

Or a stake?

-Or a cross? -[laughing]

I particularly hate you.

Get out.

[upbeat pop music playing]

Hey, Mi-ju. You found your way here.

I'm here, yes, but I'm not sure a rookie like me could do anything.

I was a complete mess when I first started.

Played any other sports in the past?

I did a little yoga in the past.

I could get my foot up to my neck and was pretty flexible.

But I can't go there anymore.

I've been thinking,

I may as well learn something I could use to protect someone.

-Oh. Hit this. Show me what you've got. -[both] Whoa.

-Holy smokes! -Hey, what was that?

-[gasps] -You'll get us in big trouble!

Mi-ju, are you loaded?

I think you might have to replace this.

Really? Did they attach it with glue?

I'm joking, of course.

-[Mi-ju] Joking? -[laughs]

[Mi-ju] Bring it on. Get over here.

[Min-ji] Whoa!

About that mansion.

Do you think everyone in the front yard was family?

Didn't they look more like guards than family?

No. You can't fool these eyes.

They're not family or guards.

Something is happening in this peaceful village of mine.

They were…

an army.

-An army? -An army?

Yes. Military.

GOBLIN STATIONERY

[light thudding]

Mister, where did you get that money?

-You've always been broke. -[Ka-young] Stop right there!

Why?

Empty your pockets.

Why?

[chuckling]

Certain dark channels were involved.

All right. It's on me today.

-Really? You're being serious, right? -[laughs]

-What's with your arms? -Certain dark family matters are involved.

By the way, do you want to know a secret?

You have to keep this secret.

[mother] Sang-hyeok, run. Quickly!

[man] Get back here, you little shit!

[mother] Why take it out on him when you're short on cash?

[man] That's why I said get an overdraft account, you bitch!

[mother] I can't with my credit score, you fucking asshole!

[Sang-hyeok] I saw an angel.

You did?

I see them occasionally too. Okay, I'm starting.

I'm being serious.

So I prayed.

I asked them to make my mom's boyfriend disappear.

That jerk you saw doesn't grant wishes. You have no idea how selfish he is.

Don't believe me, then.

Seriously, though, as soon as I'm a bit bigger,

I'd probably be able to beat him up.

But it just takes too long to grow up.

Okay, give me 100 won.

But you have a lot of money now.

I'm saying I'll grant that wish for you. But nothing in this world is free.

You wouldn't know, but the true wish specialist is… Woo-hoo! I won! [laughing]

I'll trust you this once.

I deliberately lost a 100-won match to you.

What? Wow. [laughs]

You're worse than Satan.

All right. It's just until you become an adult.

You're 12 years old right now,

so I'll have them maul him just enough to keep him bedridden for 7.5 years.

[screaming]

[groaning]

My arms. My legs.

-[Iblis] I know this face. -[whimpers]

Who are you?

-Send help! A man's dying out here! -[laughs]

A man?

I don't see a man here.

You beat a 12-year-old and call yourself a man?

Even Satan would shed tears…

Good job holding back.

In BC,

I fought for three centuries to protect my brothers.

Today, in 2024 AD,

I start yet another war for the sake of a brother.

Sang-hyeok is an enemy, but he's also a comrade.

And he chose to become my friend.

That is the reason for your current suffering. [whistles]

[yelping]

Help me!

-Help me! I was wrong. Please! -[snarling]

How unlucky.

[screaming] Help me!

My specialty is killing, not saving.

-[dogs growling] -[man screaming]

[somber music plays]

Why do you keep following me? Got nothing better to do?

I had to get him from the desert back to Korea,

call an ambulance, and frame him as delusional!

Why stir up chaos in the modern world?

Why are you suddenly pretending to be a good guy?

You know, I've been thinking about that.

Ever think I was originally the good guy, and you were the bad one?

I shall use a very blunt scythe when I slit your throat.

So one strike won't do.

See?

You and I are no different.

Do you even have time for this? Don't you need to go see Ki Ka-young?

I guess you're not up for another beating. [chuckles]

What?

Concerned I'll go see her again?

What did you even mean to show her?

What, my cruelty?

Or the wishes she made?

That's why I was punished for 983 years, no less.

Isn't that enough?

[laughs]

How laughable.

We have lived an eternity,

so that period of less than 1,000 years

was hardly punishment.

I've inspected every element, and there are no issues with the watch.

Really?

I'm sure the watch hands spun backwards.

Incredibly fast at that.

I've been working here for over ten years, and I've never had an inquiry like this.

Moreover, it's just impossible, ma'am.

[ticking]

[rapid ticking]

So I really can't let myself in?

What the hell does it say?

It says you shouldn't shake it.

That an ill-tempered genie might get angry.

[clicks]

TRANSLATE

SHELF LIFE IS INFINITE FROM DATE OF REMAKING: OCTOBER 24, 1061

So he lied.

If it was the year 1061,

and he said he was confined for 983 years,

he's 20 years short.

It couldn't have been a housing scam.

What is this?

[sniffing]

[in Mongolian] Who are they?

What have they been doing there all day?

Should we bring it up?

[in Korean] Why the intense stares?

What are they looking at all day?

I'm Chauffeur Kim, a former member of the Reconnaissance Unit.

I sense some intense eyes on us.

Two in the bushes.

Two more in the mansion.

Perhaps more.

Boss…

[sighs]

…what kind of life have you led?

I have no other choice.

You can trust me, sir.

Apologies, sir,

but may I ask what you are waiting for?

I'm waiting

for my dad.

This is where I lost my way.

I remember the smell of my dad's car. [sniffing]

My younger brother, Ha-neul. Kim Ha-neul.

He'll be looking for me.

Dad?

Is this short-term memory loss or something?

What on earth have you gotten tangled up in, sir?

-[woman 1] That's insane. -[woman 2] She sure is something.

[woman 3] Can you believe he told me I can't leave work until she gets here?

I swear the guy's nuts.

-[woman 1] This is crazy. -She's here.

-Is something wrong? -[scoffs]

I honestly can't believe this.

Come with me.

What the hell is going on here?

Why is the money in Ms. Ki Ka-young's account

being transferred into your account every day, Ms. Gu?

Are you embezzling?

How could you say such a thing? It's the first I'm hearing of it too.

[laughs incredulously]

For the past two weeks, there have been transfers of ten million,

then 50 million won every day, and this is news to you?

This is so damn unfair!

Are you saying I should spend all my time checking my account?

Huge amounts were being transferred every day,

and you seriously didn't know?

Our logs show you repeatedly accessed Ms. Ki Ka-young's information.

How do you explain that?

You asked me to sell her our pension plan.

That's why I looked. To figure out how to convince her!

You saw the logs, so you'll know.

She came in to increase her transfer limit.

So why are you doing this to me?

Shouldn't you be speaking to Ki Ka-young about this, not me?

Why, you…

Given the situation, sir,

the Financial Supervisory Service must already be investigating--

Shut your mouth!

Of course I know that!

Unbelievable.

Ms. Gu, go meet Ms. Ki Ka-young before the FSS does,

and find out what has happened here.

You're friends, aren't you? Friends!

All of our jobs are on the line now.

Yes, sir.

[ominous music plays]

[in Arabic] I'm back.

Eat up.

[in Korean] Thanks for the book.

HISTORY OF GORYEO

Have you

finally made a decision?

[Iblis] The angels came down and began slaughtering all genies,

and Ejllael is the one who led the charge.

[chuckles smugly]

[Iblis] The war lasted 300 years,

and I lost most of my brothers as a result.

Lead the way

to the moment I died.

[Sade growling]

[hoots]

[Ejllael in Arabic] He is displeased

as disasters and droughts have struck Ifriqiya,

costing countless human lives.

You'd best not provoke them.

Don't overdo it.

Anyway, what is that face you wear?

[in Korean] I chose a face set to be in high demand

across the world for the next millennium.

I'm speaking in their language now too.

My next wish-maker is on their way from there. [sniffs]

[suspenseful music plays]

[snarling]

[man in Arabic] Dogs! Wild hounds!

-Run! -[barking]

[man 2] A pack of wild hounds!

[barking, growling]

Dogs! It's a pack of wild hounds!

[in Middle Chinese] Just throw that limping boy aside!

[indistinct shouting]

[in Korean] No, don't!

You can't!

-[crying] Don't! -[boy crying]

-[child Ka-young] Hunbish! -[growling]

[panting]

[crying]

-[barking] -[whimpers, screams]

[screaming]

[in Arabic] The time has come for some wishes.

-[child Ka-young cries, screams] -[Hunbish screams]

-[screaming] -[growling]

-[grunts] -[yelps]

[screaming]

[chiming]

-[tense music plays] -[whooshing]

[man] It's Iblis! It's Shaytan!

It's Shaytan! Run!

[in Middle Chinese] Where are you going? Cast the Goryeo bitch aside too!

[in Arabic] Run away!

-[man 2] Save me! -[men clamoring]

-[gasps] -[man 3] Hurry, run!

[in Korean] I am Genie, the lamp spirit.

I shall grant you three wishes.

Make them.

Did you say wishes?

No bringing back the dead. No traveling to the future.

Anything besides that,

your wish…

is my command.

Are you also

from Goryeo, sir?

If you'd like it that way, let's say it's so.

Now,

make your first wish.

-[Hunbish screaming] -[dogs growling]

Please save Hunbish.

Please let him live a long, long life.

Please! He can't just die like this.

That's right.

Come with me

to corruption.

-[screaming] -[gusting]

[man] Run!

[Ibis] Do not blame me.

My young master wishes for someone to live a long life.

-[thuds] -[whizzing]

[Iblis] And for a long, lengthy life,

a blood sacrifice must be made.

Desert,

be tainted by this blood.

[dramatic orchestral music plays]

[Iblis] The boy lives,

though the wild hounds will starve.

Now, shall we hear what your second wish is?

Please make it so that

other children from Goryeo

aren't sold to be animal feed, as I was.

Then I shall cut off the path.

I shall be back soon.

[tense music plays]

[birds cawing]

This is probably around 1041 AD.

Are you sure it was the year 1041?

I'm sure.

I remember it as the time when Iblis was at his height, deceiving humans.

There was an unusually large number of deaths that year.

Including yours.

[birds cawing]

You see them, don't you? All those deaths.

All the work of Iblis.

[whimpers]

[panting]

-[growling] -[gasps]

-[barking] -[gasping]

[Sade growling]

There they are.

Do you see me there with a scythe?

I haven't seen my original face in a long time.

I'll change it to this face so it's less jarring. [snaps fingers]

So your second wish has also been fulfilled.

The path to Goryeo has been blocked.

Blocking that path triggered quakes and tsunamis.

With your first wish, 15 of 17 merchants lost their lives,

and due to your second wish, hundreds of humans died.

That can't be.

I didn't make such wishes.

[in Mongolian, panting] Please help! [grunts]

[in Korean] Hmm. I guess that makes it 16.

Now, only your final wish remains.

Girl from a foreign land, make your wish.

This is not what I wanted.

What do I do now?

I made the wrong kinds of wishes. [crying]

How foolish.

There's no such thing as the right wish.

To gain something, something else must be lost.

For someone to live, another must die.

-Sade! -[growls]

[tense music plays]

-[barking] -[screams]

-[child Ka-young screams] -[whistles]

You may say such things, but your final wish will be "please save me."

-So make your wish. -[breathing heavily]

[child Ka-young] No.

I accept

whatever punishment.

So please,

make sure…

we are punished.

You and I both.

[tense music plays]

What?

[child Ka-young] It's only fair.

This

is my final wish.

[music intensifies]

[heavy exhale]

You lowly thing. You dare…

You petty human, molded from mere clay. You dare?

-[breathing heavily] -[Ejllael laughs]

Behold.

His creations are truly righteous and beautiful.

You have lost, Iblis.

You remember his words, don't you?

If you happen to meet even one pure human, you will forever…

-Just wait. -No, forever!

Wait, just wait!

Righteous? [scoffs]

I'm not sure.

[scoffs] Because really,

there's room for interpretation here.

So would you put in a good word for me, Brother?

-[scoffs] -[breathing heavily]

Cut the crap. [laughs]

Is this really the end?

Really?

Hey, come back.

Ejllael.

Get back down here!

[somber music plays]

You lowly clay. You dare…

You lowly being, molded on a Friday.

Mere human who lives for less than 100 years. You dare!

[melancholy music plays]

[sighs] Do you see?

Your death was so tragic.

Iblis is an evil bastard

who twisted every wish you made, no matter what it was,

to lead you to corruption.

[gentle music plays]

It wasn't…

rage.

When I saw him in the lamp,

it definitely looked like rage.

But this…

This face…

is undeniably

true sorrow.

[dramatic music plays]

[chokes, groans]

[groans, pants]

How laughable.

[panting]

[screams]

We have lived an eternity, so that period of less than 1,000 years

was hardly punishment.

[dramatic orchestral music playing]

[groaning, panting]

[groaning]

[music ends]

[gentle ballad playing]
