(Episode 3)

Are you alive?

Or are you dead?

I'm just...

here.

I'm neither alive...

nor dead.

I'm just stuck.

I'm confined in a time zone...

that can't ever be turned back.

Let's go!

No!

You're the one that led the group, aren't you?

You're the ringleader.

Hey.

You guys are thieves from Gaori Village, aren't you?

That means you're a nomad from Goguryeo.

You understand what I'm saying, don't you?

- Hey! - Shut it.

I'm also from the same place. Hello, brother.

Or should I call you "sister"?

"Sister"?

Sister.

Why don't you let me free now?

I'm just a low class officer who's in charge...

of escorting my superiors.

So you won't earn much money by holding me hostage.

- I know how I'm going to get money. - What?

The noble lady who didn't even care about losing her silk bundle...

seemed to care very dearly about something else.

It seems you didn't just escort the lady's travels.

I talked with her a few times so she wouldn't be bored on her way.

But since I'm such a good looking guy...

It seems it came to this when I only talked with her.

Then your face must be worth ample sum of money.

Can't I talk you into letting me go?

If my hands and feet were free,

I could persuade her much better.

If I cut off your tongue for talking nonsense,

will the price for your face fall?

How can you say such a scary thing?

Darn.

Pull me up.

What are you doing? Can't you hear me?

How can I help you when you're just talking?

If my hands and feet were free, I could help you better.

Throw me your sword.

Don't move. If you move, you'll be sucked in faster.

Throw me your sword.

Where... where are you going?

Come back!

Pull it.

Quickly!

You're my hostage now.

Price on myself would be much higher...

than the price on a low class warrior's face.

Actually, I'm not a low class warrior.

The lady I was escorting is the princess of Yeongju Castle.

And I'm the captain of her guards.

Are you looking at the moon that has come up today?

Or the moon that came up a thousand years ago?

They are all one and the same.

The flowers in the garden have blossomed brightly.

You must have taken good care of your guests so far...

at the Guest House of the Moon.

I've changed the name of this place.

It's not a guest house. It's Hotel Del Luna.

Stop calling me an innkeeper.

I'm the president.

They are the same thing.

I saw that the human who was serving you had left.

When he dies, it will soon lead him to life.

I also died.

Why don't they take me?

You didn't die.

I told you, you are tied to the Moon Tree,

and the flow of life and death has stopped for you.

How long will you keep me tied up?

It's you who is not budging.

I died dried up and shriveled.

If you cut it up and burn it,

I will be on my way.

The leaves sprout, and the flowers blossom and fall.

The time of life and death will flow once again.

Don't you think you should leave something pretty like this behind?

I have nothing colorful like that to leave behind.

Why don't you pick the bright flowers...

and send all those off to pitiful spirits?

That child is still...

filled to the brim.

I can't leave you like this forever.

Thank you for saving me earlier.

You were lucky.

I wouldn't have saved you if you had been wearing shoes of other colors.

These are so much better than those tacky brown color shoes.

You waited for me, wearing shoes that I chose for you.

I never waited for you.

Come on.

You sent me a text on the pretext of that tiger, and waited for me.

I was just curious.

Of course you were curious.

Because you could only think of me.

Did you...

put some spell on me?

Is that why you made me dream of you?

You dreamed about me?

Seeing ghosts like this is already too much for me.

I don't want to see you in my dream too.

Why? Did I eat you up in your dream or something?

Forget it.

I don't think it was you in my dream.

If it were you, you wouldn't have done that.

I forgive you.

You are an adult, so you can have a dream like that.

What? It's not that kind of dream!

Ku Chan Seong, I thought you were frail.

But you are very healthy.

Yes, I am very healthy.

Okay, keep on being healthy.

If you faint on the road like that, it will be too troublesome for me.

How did you bring me here?

Can you teleport?

It was nothing.

Just as you brought a handcart,

I brought something and used that to carry you here.

Take him away.

Let's move him.

Ms. Jang, I'm in him.

Let's go.

Wait for me.

Come on, Ms. Jang.

Come out.

Now that I'm in a human body,

may I go out and party a little?

Come out.

Gosh, I don't want to leave.

Ms. Jang. Come on.

Come out!

That must have hurt.

Go.

Go!

You just have to know that I moved you here safely.

Yes.

Can you move your head all right?

Sure.

Why?

As long as you're fine, that's good.

Let's go. Now that you're at my hotel, so I'll give you a tour.

Does this place really exist in the real world?

Like I said last time,

our hotel is officially registered at the Jung-gu Office,

and we pay all of our taxes too.

We do exist in the real world,

but our presence is very vague,

so the living does not notice us.

But we can sometimes be seen...

when the weather is bad or if the person has a good sixth sense.

- I didn't know there was a hotel. - You're right.

But it looks kind of scary. Let's just go.

But 3 to 4 times a year, there are people who come in to check.

My goodness.

Our rooms are very expensive.

What do you do with the people who insist on coming in?

I will check-in.

We have a special room only for people like them.

Please go inside.

Sure.

There are people who have checked into this room,

but no one has ever checked out.

What did you do to them?

Do you want to know?

Do you want to go in?

There are other places you can look at.

Okay. Then let's head over there.

Why do you need to wear sunglasses in the middle of the night?

What is this place?

Come here.

I don't come out here very often. The sun is too bright.

It's nighttime in the middle of Seoul. What is this place?

The inside of the hotel isn't the real world.

The time and space here...

are different from the world you live in.

Maps and watches are absolutely useless here.

So this isn't the real world?

No.

Everything in this hotel doesn't exist in the real world.

No matter how pretty it is, it's not in the real world.

Is that the case...

for you too?

Yes.

Me too.

Then I wouldn't die even if I fell from here?

Be careful. You're still alive.

If a human falls down with their weak body, they will face death.

This was what it was like to have a warm body...

with a beating heart.

You have to live and do many things for me.

Keep staying by my side, Ku Chan Seong.

If I say no,

are you going to push me over?

It may be a surreal place,

but I demand realistic benefits.

And I am going to wear the shoes that I want to wear.

Did you get scared that I might push you over?

Is that why you have changed your mind?

I came all the way here.

I don't think there is more reason to run away.

To be honest, I'm a bit curious too.

And it looks kind of fun too.

I want to know more...

about you and this hotel.

Good.

I was going to let you pass even if you ran away...

a few more times.

I told you that you caught my fancy.

It was her.

That woman.

May I get a refill on the coffee?

Yes.

- Oh, right. Honey. - Yes?

Let's stop by the grocery store on our way home.

We'll have to take a detour.

Let's just go next time.

What happened?

What should we do?

Hello?

- What are we going to do? - Is this 911?

- Is she dead? - Someone got hit by a car.

No, it wasn't me.

She suddenly fell from an overpass.

Yes, can you please come quickly?

Oh, right. The location?

We're currently at...

(911 Ambulance)

That darn loser.

This is driving me crazy.

Whatever!

What... What's going on?

What happened to me?

Who are you?

This is mine.

We have a new hotel manager.

I brought him from a hotel that was named...

one of the best hotels by Forbes.

So he'll do a good job.

I know he graduated from Harvard,

but the work we do here isn't based on knowledge.

He needs to have some guts.

But he seems very weak-hearted, and that worries me.

How about we leave the position vacant for a while...

and hire someone...

from the top two candidates that you had in mind?

There were two other candidates other than Ku Chan Seong?

Of course.

Didn't the top candidate even know how to perform an exorcism?

What's the point?

He left to catch some useless ghost.

I ask you this in the name of the Father, the Son,

and the Holy Spirit.

Why are you here? What is your name?

- That's enough! - Do not interfere!

I can't go there before I catch this ghost.

You should return.

I ask you this in the name of the Father, the Son,

and the Holy Spirit.

What is your name?

Answer me! Answer me!

- I'm more scared of him. - Tell me your name!

I gave him the ability to see ghosts.

But he left to catch some other ghost.

Wouldn't he come back once he catches the ghost?

That's going to be impossible. That ghost is really strong.

Park Il Do, that punk.

Who was the second candidate?

He was a fighter pilot.

She went all the way to the States to find him.

But he eventually left in that thing.

In what thing?

Let's go.

- Let's go. - No.

I don't need the top two candidates.

Ku Chan Seong is here, so we're good.

His office is ready.

Mr. No knew he was going to leave...

and had the office cleaned up beforehand.

He worked here for 30 years,

but he didn't leave behind a single trace.

Yes, he did.

That over there.

Mr. No took that photo.

So many humans worked here,

but they're all so vague to me.

How many people were here including Mr. No?

Ms. Jang is the only one who knows that.

They're all the same people. It's useless to count.

What are you doing? Get back to work.

He was just the 48th human to work here.

And Ku Chan Seong...

will only be the 49th human to work here.

(Manager, Ku Chan Seong)

I caved in way too quickly. That was so not like me.

Why did I do that?

This was what it was like to have a warm body...

with a beating heart.

I got swayed by the ambiance.

Ms. Jang told us to say hello to the new manager.

If you all work here,

that means you're all ghosts, right?

I died about 500 years ago.

She died 200 years ago.

And he died 70 years ago. He's the youngest of the crew.

I see.

I was an aristocrat who studied very hard.

After a long period of studying,

I passed the civil service exam with the highest score.

But I suddenly died right before achieving my lifelong dream.

And while I was wandering around, I found Man Weol Inn.

I've been here the longest.

You said you used to study. Then what do you do here?

I used to be very bright when it came to writing poems.

And now,

I'm a bartender.

So you're the bartender who's in charge of the food and beverages.

I was the eldest daughter-in-law of a prestigious family.

But I ended up...

getting murdered by my own family.

While staying here,

I'll wait for the last member of that loathful family...

to die off.

You must have a huge grudge.

I'm in charge of the rooms.

I see.

I died during the Korean War.

This used to be called "Man Weol Inn".

They weren't doing so well back then.

I'm waiting to go with my sister...

who's still alive.

All of us have long stories to tell.

As for me...

The employees here first came as customers,

but are now working while extending their stays.

Aside from Ms. Jang, the three of us have been here...

the longest.

Then did Ms. Jang come here as a customer like you,

and ended up staying long term?

No.

Ms. Jang is the owner of Hotel Del Luna.

Owner of what?

She's just tied down here for a punishment from that crone.

She's being tied down?

There's a huge tree in our garden, but...

Do we have a garden?

I think we left the front desk and the bar unattended for too long.

We better go.

I can't be lazy at work or I'll be sent to the otherworld.

I'll tell you my long story...

at the bar while treating you to a glass of martini.

I'm sure you're good to go home for the day.

Where is the garden with the huge tree?

I didn't get to see it today.

She probably didn't show it to you because it's unnecessary.

Is there some kind of tie between Ms. Jang...

and that tree?

Mr. Ku.

How long do you want to work here?

As short as possible...

since I didn't come here out of choice.

Then, it'd be best to keep your curiosities minimal.

You must mean the longer I'll be tied to this place,

the more I know.

The rest of us will take care of hosting the customers.

All you have to do is do the work...

related to the humans.

I'll do that.

Hey, are you going to work already?

No, I just got off work.

Did you have a night shift?

No.

I'm going to have to quit the hotel I'm at.

- Why? - I now work at a different one.

Which hotel?

Why would you go somewhere else when you're with Seoul's best hotel?

It has a private beach...

and a soaring sky bar.

That's the hotel I work at.

Is there such a hotel in Seoul?

I want to go there too.

You can't.

If you come, you'll be in room 404.

What's in room 404?

Is it a suite?

I'm so tired.

Hurray!

Yes. This is the real world.

I have a place, and I have a friend.

I have lots of other places asking me to work.

Don't get confused.

I'm finally calming down.

This really helps.

Strange things have followed me to the real world

It's a moon.

It's to show that it's mine.

Man...

Weol.

This is how you write it.

(Man Weol)

I'm paying you back for giving me good wine.

(Del Luna)

She was in my dream, and now she's calling me.

It's getting me confused.

What took you so long to pick up?

What is it?

I have your first job for you.

What is it?

I want to sell the painting of Mount Baekdu.

What?

The spirit of the mythical creature...

made the energy of this painting even better.

I'll be able to get twice its price.

If we sell this,

what about the tiger inside?

The tiger has just left.

This is an empty painting.

The tiger has left?

The tiger lived in a zoo all his life.

He'd get sick of living in Mount Baekdu in a couple of days.

He went to the afterlife after having fun there for a few days.

I'm sure he'll be reborn in blessing.

Is this why you asked me to get the painting? To sell it?

Not because you cared about the tiger.

Of course I care about the tiger.

I even wore this for him.

Hey!

Make sure you get a good price for this.

Then as a reward,

I'll get you a suit with matching tiger prints.

No thanks, who would wear such a thing?

Why not? You love tacky brown color.

I even got the new car in that color, just for you.

- A new car? - Make sure to sell this by today.

I have to pick up the new car.

You got a car?

The car you were in the last time was also a new one.

I'm broke now because I brought a new car.

Make sure you get a good price for this painting.

Get at least double of its original price.

Let's go pick up my new car

I really messed up.

Why did I even bother to ask? She's nothing but a money chaser.

Is it really gone? Is it not here?

Roar.

Roar.

Roar.

(Kim Yu Na)

That's not who you are. You died right here!

Give my body back to me!

Yes, Director. Thank you for introducing me to him.

Yes, I'm heading to the gallery right now.

I'll see you soon.

Give my body back to me!

Seems like Chan Seong brought in a very annoying customer.

She looks like she has issues. She keeps saying she's not dead.

This isn't our first time seeing the dead saying they're alive.

They always say that they're alive, they can't die or ask why they died.

We hear that all the time.

Ms. Jang will handle it, right?

I told you to go sell a painting,

but why did you bring in an unwanted customer?

Are you tout?

What did you say?

You said that you comfort souls here.

She seems like she has issues,

why don't you come up with a solution for her?

You said you saw her other self wandering around?

She said that she's robbed of her body.

If that's true, we should get it back for her.

What you've brought is a soul that came out of someone alive.

So you're saying that she is out there without a soul?

You said that she's robbed of her body.

Her body must be taken over by another spirit.

What's wrong with Yu Na?

Yu Na bullied her the most.

Maybe she feels guilty for everything that she did.

She's acting as if she actually feels bad now.

Is this the girl's house?

Yes, Yu Na is the only child of this household.

Their one and only daughter's body is taken over by a spirit.

Of course we have to get it back.

I ask this with confidence,

but are you going to make the parents pay you for this?

This isn't just a rich house.

That's the brown car that I'm in love with.

The fact that they're already driving it,

which I tried so hard to book it.

That means that they're filthy rich.

We need to find out why this is happening, right?

It's because of a necklace.

It belongs to the dead friend who took the body.

The spirit stayed in the necklace,

then took over the body.

I thought they were friends. Why would she do such a thing?

Stop asking questions. You said we need to get the body back.

Then that's all we need to do.

Go after her.

Hey!

Let me go!

I'm going to kill her.

This isn't even your body. Why are you doing this to a friend?

She's not a friend.

She killed me.

(Jung Su Jung)

Give it back to me.

You live on social assistance...

and you want to waste your money on something like this?

Do you have no conscience?

The money you get is for you to feed yourself.

This is what we call, a waste of tax money.

Give it back.

Give it back!

Take it if you can.

- Here you go. - Give it back to me!

Give it back!

Give it to me.

You brat!

Let me go!

I can't remember anything after falling off the bridge.

When I gained conscience,

I realized that I'm in her body...

with my necklace in her hand.

Are you here to give Yu Na her body back?

She killed me!

That's it.

Use that to give my body back now.

The spirit in here...

doesn't disappear that easily.

Just tell my parents.

They'll do anything for me.

Of course they should.

They're the ones who made you, after all.

What is it that you wanted to talk to us about our daughter?

Yu Na murdered someone.

Did you know...

that Yu Na's classmate committed suicide on that bridge?

That's not entirely true.

Your daughter killed her.

This necklace is the evidence.

What is it that you want?

I came for a reward.

Do you think it's wrong of me to kill Yu Na?

Let's look for a way.

What way?

No matter what I do, I can't come back to life.

I wanted to live!

Even when they called me a parasite,

I still wanted to live on.

Let me go!

Please let me go.

I can't let her return to this body...

and live like nothing happened.

Please let me go.

Wait, just a second.

I'll go get the necklace.

You should just live in this body, okay?

Where is the necklace?

We can't let her return to her body yet!

It would be unfair for that girl!

I already returned the necklace.

It's in the hands of her parents.

So this necklace belongs to that dead girl, right?

That woman told us this is the only evidence.

There are two ways to pay for what she did.

One, take this necklace as evidence...

to prove your daughter's wrongdoing and punish her.

You should also apologize to the dead girl's soul.

Two,

you can keep this a secret and get rid of this necklace.

I'll pay as much as you want.

Please...

hand it over to us quietly.

So you made your decision.

You'll have to pay a big price.

Everything will go back to normal, right?

Of course.

Once that necklace is gone,

no one will know that you killed her.

No one will notice, right?

I told you that her grudge is very strong, didn't I?

Once that necklace is burned,

your chance to get her forgiveness will be gone for good too.

It doesn't matter.

It does.

You won't ever be able to go back to your body.

Pardon?

I mean that your soul...

will really die without anyone realizing.

Darn it.

Let bygones be bygones since she's already dead.

Yu Na should continue to have a good life.

Yes, she should. None of this happened.

But what do you think...

that woman meant by the last comment?

Right.

You should know that the choice you made...

will kill your daughter's soul.

No!

No! What do I do?

Mom, take it out! Mom! Please...

Please take it out, Mom!

I said, take it out! Take it out!

You should live in that body now.

Although you're parasitic on that body.

Try your best to survive again.

She has become a true parasite.

But...

she found herself a golden host.

I bet they'll spoil her not knowing...

she's only their daughter's shell.

That young girl...

will be tortured while watching her own shell.

I feel bad for her.

She's only paying for what she did.

She's just tied down here for a punishment from that crone.

Are you also paying for what you did?

I heard you're being punished.

I am.

Someone told me that I'm arrogant and foolish.

Although I don't agree with it.

I see.

What was that? Did you just say, "I see"?

Are you looking down on me?

No, I'm not.

Sometimes. No, very rarely,

I feel sympathetic for you.

(Text message)

(Your pre-order for XJ50 edition has been canceled.)

What is this?

The car I pre-ordered got canceled.

What kind of situation is this?

How is this possible? Are they looking down on me?

They're dead meat.

Do you take me for a fool?

Forget it.

Forward me to the one in charge.

I said, forward me!

When Ms. Jang gets angry, she drinks champaign in bulk.

Mr. No always prepared it for her.

I didn't know my position required serving Ms. Jang alcohol.

You're so unlucky.

You were third in line,

but you ended up as our manager. We didn't know you'd come either.

What do you mean I was third in line?

They told me not to talk about you being the third choice.

Are you saying I was third in line for the job?

- No. - This means...

there were two other two in line before me.

You're here now, so you're the winner.

It's a feat that I'm not happy about.

Here it is.

What is this?

This sign shows that it belongs to Ms. Jang.

Anything with this means it's Ms. Jang's.

It's a moon.

It's to show that it's mine.

Come this way.

Ms. Choi.

Do you know what Ms. Jang was like when she was alive?

What does it mean that she's tied down for a punishment?

You're just a passer-by.

Like these people who stopped by over the many years,

consider that you are only visiting for a moment,

and leave this place as soon as possible as you wish.

(Man Weol Inn)

Why are you spending such a long time like this?

Is this that tree?

There are no leaves.

What are you doing here?

You didn't show me the garden, so I decided to stop by.

Guests cannot come here. You don't need to see this.

Is this that tree?

The tree that my father touched.

The reason why I was sold here.

You're right.

You're paying the price too.

But it didn't have to be me.

I heard I was the third one on the list.

I really thought it had to be me.

You said I caught your fancy, so I made a huge decision to come here.

But I'm here in place of the 1st and 2nd of that list.

Yes, there were 1st and 2nd places who were on the list before you.

Am I even the third place?

Was I the 4th, or the 5th place by any chance?

Who said you were the third place?

- There were more before me? - You're...

the zeroth place.

The zeroth place.

It had to be you.

You completely caught my fancy.

Do you want a glass too?

It's a reward for saying...

that you'll take a hefty sum for the Mount Baekdu painting.

Do you think the tiger saw what he wanted to see in the painting?

He probably left without complaining because he did.

He saw the past like a dream, a time where he can never go back.

He got pretty lucky.

I'm sure you have things you miss in the old times...

that you cannot go back to.

I think I saw that.

I told you that I saw you in a dream.

In a dream?

You were smiling...

underneath a huge tree.

When someone said they'd build you a house,

you said mean things just as you do now,

but you were happy.

The moon shined above the wilderness where you were drinking,

and it was filled with sounds of instruments,

along with your laughter.

You were full of joy and happiness.

You weren't alone like you are now. You had someone by your side.

The man who taught you how to write your name, Man Weol.

Is that the person you miss the most...

over your long stay here?

You.

You really...

saw him.

You have been...

waiting for that person...

over this long period of time.

Why do you see...

such things?

I don't know.

Why do I see you?

I'm scared that I may have to pay the price.

Ms. Jang.

After I began to see you,

I think of you...

very much, awfully a lot.

Ms. Jang, I'm saying...

you are devouring on...

all my nights and dreams.

(Hotel Del Luna)

The old memories that dried-up already...

crawled out again because of you.

I need to check this for myself.

Chan Seong, you will take ghosts starting tonight.

There is someone that they need to see just once.

Every single ghost has someone that they want to see!

You said that the owner is really awful, right?

- Did you? - The dried-up tree sprouted leaves.

I'm going to look after this.

I'm sorry.

Chan Seong, come to my hotel once you die.
