Mama Fairy and the Woodcutter

Mama Fairy and Woodcutter

I remember it now.

I was the child who was abandoned by villagers and died from starvation.

My name was Lee Ji.

And I...

Those are the crops that people obtained by sacrificing that poor child's life.

I had to burn them.

Destruction Army Star, let's go down to the human world.

I was abandoned by heaven

because I was betrayed by the friend I trusted the most.

He definitely said he saw a woman with long hair and flaming hands.

I had forgotten.

I had completely forgotten what had happened to Great Gate Star after she was banished.

Why did they have to leave the celestial world together?

And after that, how did they live on?

I was Destruction Army Star Ba Woo Sae.

And I had to leave the woman, Greedy Wolf Star, I loved with all my heart,

and suddenly leave the celestial world.

My Greedy Wolf Star. I must return to Greedy Wolf Star.

Professor!

Yes, you are correct.

I am your professor.

Are you all right? I looked for you for so long.

Professor?

What must I call you now?

After being born several times as the son of a human

and taking without hesitation the thing that was most precious to me,

Destruction Army Star, you still...

indeed don't remember anything. You have been foolishly ignorant

while I've been living in agony all this time.

It is dangerous, please come out.

Professor, please come out, also. It is dangerous.

The waterfall is on fire.

But I am the one who set this fire. Will it do for me to avoid it?

I think the entire world will turn into a sea of fire.

Professor Jeong...

Greedy Wolf Star.

It's me.

Great Gate Star, Lee Ji?

After so many years of vicissitudes,

I finally hear my true name, from you.

How... how can it be you?

Episode 15

What?

- Great Gate Star. - Sorry.

I thought they were handles.

How can you do that to my precious hair?

Isn't the semicircle hairdo in trend these days?

I thought the butterfly hairdo was no longer trendy.

Is that right?

Good thing I wore a removable hair accessory today.

If I think about how you pulled my hair, I don't even want to let you smell my flowers

but since you gave me useful information about trends

I will give you each a flower as a gift.

Thank you.

Flowers... Greedy Wolf Star, it seems like you wouldn't know what suffering feels like.

You grew up among the flower beds in the celestial world

so you have no way of knowing how deep and dark the bottom is.

Great Gate Star, why do you continue to... ?

What are you talking about?

You've only seen the beautiful side of the world, like this flower,

and you've only pursued what is good and bright.

So you must not even have interest in what is not beautiful, isn't that so?

I had no confidence.

I loved your brightness and warmth so much.

But your bright beauty somehow wounded my pride.

Because it was something that I could never have.

I was envious and lonely.

Miss Fairy, Professor.

Please stop, Great Gate Star.

Why?

Teacher Geum is in danger.

And all that is living here is burning and dying right now.

So what of it?

How can you do this?

You have never loved me, not once.

Even compared to a lowly tree or a flower

you've never thought of me as precious as those.

If I didn't love you, how would have I been different?

Stop harassing my mom!

Ah, I missed. So embarrassing.

How dare you do this!

Teacher Goo!

You dare to set fire to a sacred pond? Put this fire out right now!

Please stop this!

This is a place that connects deities with humans.

It is the last passage left on earth!

It is a passage!

So? This pond, what is so sacred about it?

You've forbidden entry to outsiders and only allow celestial beings to come and go.

You are cold-hearted to those who desperately need a sip of water.

Look here, Teacher Goo.

I don't know why everyone calls you "Teacher",

but I am not your student!

So don't try to teach me anything.

That rude rascal!

That rude rascal....

Hold on, why is Teacher Goo called "teacher" but I am just a plain wizard?

What are you saying at a time like this?

But think about it. He's received no special education certificates.

Oh my.

So you're afraid of fire, Teacher Goo?

Then why did you torture me so much?

What are you talking about?

We've met each other before, haven't we?

You ...

hunted me.

After being banished by the celestial world, I borrowed a deer's body and came down to earth.

And I had to be constantly chased, without a place to lie down comfortably.

Back off now!

Because of the fires you set in the human world, do you know how many trees and deities,

not to mention the pond and the mountain, have burned?

At that time, all I wanted

was to take one sip of water from this pond.

Please help me. A hunter is chasing me, and I might die.

Come this way. Hide behind this stack of wood.

A terrible deer may have passed by. You didn't see it?

Can't you speak?

It's all right now. The hunter is gone.

His hair color was changed and I had lost my memories

but I could still tell right away that he was Destruction Army Star, Ba Woo Sae.

So this is how you have been living?

Why do you speak casually to me, all of a sudden?

Why do you look so shabby? Don't you have any proper clothes?

You were a big shot FP (fashion person) while in the celestial sphere.

What's FP?

Temple of Palace Maidens

Are my clothes really bad? I'm fine with them.

You may have lost your memories

but you still have that sickening virtue of a celestial being.

Do you really not remember anything from the celestial world?

The celestial world, what is that?

My memory of you betraying me is so vivid

but you lost your memory so easily.

I have one more request of you.

Pick up one of those robes and put it on my back.

Huh?

But they belong to the fairies.

There are so many robes, would they all belong to fairies?

One of them is originally mine. So get one and put it on my back for me.

But the robes are so long. Can it really be yours?

Please help me, please.

Suddenly, you speak to me formally?

I had to return to the celestial world, somehow.

To be trapped in a deer's body and be always chased around,

was too unfair.

But like the butterflies flew away,

the winged robe became just ordinary clothing. However...

Unnis!

... I saw Greedy Wolf Star there.

Greedy Wolf Star stared at us. No, to be more exact,

she was looking at Destruction Army Star, who was born a son of a human.

If my clothes are all right, please wear them.

You, Destruction Army Star, who took everything I wanted,

have you, even once, thought about how I was living?

What do we do?

Professor!

No, Fairy Seon!

No, you must not! No! No!

Teacher Geum.

On your grave, after you had died

a sand peony bloomed.

Mother, what happens to Father now?

Your father has returned to the state he was in before he was born.

Honey, it was you who hung this up before you left.

It is really beautiful.

For making warm and happy memories for me during our time together,

I am truly grateful.

If we ever meet again, let us make sure to...

My bride.

Are you hurt anywhere?

Subtitles brought to you by The Once Upon A Time Team @ Viki

I blamed Destruction Army Star

but I didn't want to kill him.

Are you alright?

Big Gate Star.

No,

Professor Jeong Yi Hyeon.

I request you to please extinguish the fire.

If this continues, the last passageway to the celestial world will be broken

and fairies and celestial beings will all disappear.

You and I will also disappear forever.

Professor.

I know that this is not what you want.

I know you don't want to hate or blame anyone.

You don't want to hate.

You don't want to hate and you want to forgive.

That is why you are always suffering.

This is torturous.

I am exhausted.

I keep being reborn

and my misery is always being repeated.

I don't want to hate. Please help me.

This place...

and me...

please make it all disappear.

After Destruction Army Star died

from time to time I would visit his grave.

Look over there.

Don't go, Deer.

Why not stay with us?

A small hand missing its pinky finger.

Her hair tangled by the wind.

Deer, you've come again.

Deer, wait a moment.

Here, a potato. It's very tasty.

This young child longed for her father so much, when she didn't even remember his face.

Move aside.

You must not, Teacher Goo!

This is the only way, Greedy Wolf Star.

You can't. Don't shoot. This is the way we can go up again.

That's right, please don't shoot. We may all die.

If you don't stop the fire right now,

we will all die. So I must end him now.

Teacher Goo, you must not!

But you people killed me first.

Not a single person spoke up for me.

Oh, that wasn't supposed to happen.

What the heck?

I'm so humiliated.

Isn't that Miss Bong Dae?

A ghost!

Miss Bong Dae.

Owner. Place Guardian Goddess.

Business God. Ghost.

I am none of those.

I am

South Dipper Star King.

I'm a bit late, since I climbed up the mountain in these friggin' heels.

The owner of the coffee truck?

Place Guardian Goddess?

Owner Bong Dae.

What a splendid blue dragon you are.

Um... me?

Brilliant blue scales with sharp claws.

A smooth body with big horns.

You are the greatest among animals with scales

and you rule over the rain, the clouds, and the thunderstorms...

Is she making fun of it for being a spoon warm?

Oh my. Oh my.

Oh my.

Welcome.

What would you like?

Two coffees, please.

So what kind of coffee?

Professor, what coffee should we drink?

- What is this? - Oh, take your time.

I am standing and waiting like this all this time. For coffee or whatever .

I guess I can just drink it tomorrow.

Or, why not the day after tomorrow?

Look at this, try to look at this. the doctor at the clinic told me

that the cartilage in my knee completely disappeared.

What has just happened?

I think Dark Water is the least embarrassing choice.

Everything is the same as it was this past Chuseok*. (major harvest festival and a three-day holiday in fall)

What has just happened?

Then was this all a dream?

Inhale.

Exhale.

Put some strength into your lungs and breathe in

then let it out.

What is this?

How about it? Can you breathe a little better now?

Owner of the coffee truck?

Didn't you hear me before? I am South Dipper Star King.

If she is South Dipper Star King...

North Dipper Star King's younger sister?

Yes, that's me.

What is going on? And where is this place?

It would be correct to ask *when* this is.

Isn't that what is confusing you?

Yes, that's right.

I can't believe any of this.

Sure. To begin at the conclusion,

we have escaped the constraints of space and time, and we are in this world now.

But this is just an egg. A big one, with spots on it.

You are really full of doubt. But you are right. An egg.

All things which happened in the human world.

Life and death. The nations that are formed then destroyed.

And war.

Knowledge accumulated by the human kind. Beautiful poetry and songs.

All of that is inside this insignificant and small thing.

You just can't hide that disbelieving gaze of yours, can you?

Follow me, and see for yourself.

Where are we going?

If you would tell me what our destination is... ?

You are tiresome.

I am going to look for my older brother, North Dipper Star King.

This place is... ?

Yes. It's the way to the Fairy Waterfall at Gyeryong Mountain.

Is this teleportation?

Let's say it's space and time

Because here and now is Gyeoreub* during the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592. (*original name of Mt. Gyeryong)

Let's see...

Hey, carry some stones instead of just standing there.

The big flat one over there.

I can't carry heavy things very well.

Then carry the lighter ones several times.

There were other passageways between the celestial world and the earth besides the Fairy Waterfall.

But many have disappeared due to the many wars that were fought.

Attention please, the deities, fairies, and the celestial beings in the mountain.

In order to protect the Fairy Waterfall from the upcoming wars

I have erected this barrier.

You should enter this area using the stone tower that I, South Dipper Star King, have erected.

It's the only way that this place,

a place that connects the celestial world with the human world, can be properly purified

and its sanctity can be protected.

How is something like this possible?

I am not using just my strength to do this.

I have waited for a very long time for this egg to hatch, and for the door to the other dimension to open.

I am being serious.

I didn't say anything, you know.

Then let's go now to the place you must face.

I will show it to you.

Why you can't sleep at night, why you resent and regret the past, and why you fear the future.

Why you despair and hate.

And why you do not know the reason. It is all because of ignorance.

Here, take a look.

Don't be afraid.

Child, I have brought you porridge.

No!

She was a woman who had endured scorn for being the ugliest in the village.

Among the village people you wreaked vengeance against

she was the one person you could not find.

At that time, children being abandoned due to famine was a common occurrence.

She was peeling acorns in a kitchen and suddenly began to think about the child who was discarded inside the village deity shrine.

And that woman began to imagine the pain of another person besides herself.

And that pain became her own pain.

There was no food due to the drought, so all she had were the acorns she had picked up from the ground.

She boiled a porridge with those acorns and ran to where the child was.

As much as her own hunger,

she could no longer endure that child's hunger or loneliness.

If you had eaten that acorn porridge and survived, you would not have become like this.

If I could turn back time and make her footsteps just a little bit faster

perhaps I could ignore destiny and change the future?

Now, look.

Child, I have brought you porridge.

No.

I better go back again.

Child...

No.

Oh dear.

Please stop now.

Please stop! She might die.

Isn't that what you wanted?

Wasn't the desire to have vengeance against the village people the very reason for your living?

She is one of the village people who caused your death.

But her...

Excuse me...

Look here. Look here!

Please!

She dies here and now, and she will be reborn in the future as Destruction Army Star, Ba Woo Sae, a celestial being.

No matter how much we struggle,

we, who are imprisoned in this dimension, cannot escape destiny.

Ba Woo Sae, you have ran against time many times.

You offered your life to rescue a child who was dying.

You have realized that yourself and others are no different and the place across the river is the same as here.

And since you learned that heaven and earth are not two, but one,

you will be freed from the human principle of physics.

You will enter the sphere of celestial entities.

Get up.

Is this the child you speak of?

It is.

North Dipper Star King, I wish you'd look after this child.

That man is . . . that acorn monk from then?

While living through countless years, I have seen a variety of people.

But there's something I can never fathom, even if I live a thousand years.

Why do humans hate each other?

And also, why do they forgive?

Seeing that village woman's sorrow and regret running here

till her death, in order to save this child ...

I harbored a question.

I wish to know the answer to that question.

For that, I plead you to look after this child and allow her to live as a celestial being.

I am curious what these two beings' future fate will be.

The fire that can become warmth to many.

And a kind heart that rides on wind to embrace all things.

And a bright nature that makes life blossom.

May these beings bring smiles to us all.

I shall desire that kind of fate.

North Dipper Star King, I have something to tell you.

Kid, make a sound before you get so close.

Whenever you come, my beard become tangled, so you are cramping my style.

What now?

Great Gate Star, Lee Ji's body is spread with dark spots all over.

At this rate, Lee Ji will die.

May you forgive Lee Ji and save her.

In exchange,

I will return to you my celestial citizenship.

You don't even know what you'll be born as in the human world,

and what pain you'll suffer!

How can you say that so easily?

If it can save Lee Ji, it doesn't matter to me at all.

As you said, if we leave Big Gate Star, Lee Ji, as she is,

unable to cast away her resentment and loathing,

confined to her own foolishness, she will end up dead in the end.

Exiling her to spare her life is a solution.

But in exchange, you will lose your celestial citizenship and you will have no memories left.

And also, you will live as a man of poverty with no memories

and meet Greedy Wolf Star again, whom you adored so much.

You two will marry and have two children and live loving each other.

But you will die early and leave Greedy Wolf Star.

Greedy Wolf Star who will be left alone will be unable to forget you.

And she will stay in the human world for a long time, waiting for your reincarnation.

But Greedy Wolf Star will also lose her memory.

And even if you appear before her, she won't recognize you.

Instead ...

Jeom Soon, you rascal!

she will meet a man born possessing your memory.

She will believe him to be her husband and follow him.

Are you my husband?

You will witness that and feel pain in your heart.

Ba Woo Sae.

What you're wanting to do now is to embrace an injured life,

with your sincere feelings.

Knowing you are the same as others and feeling others' pain as your own.

The sincerity you have now will console that child.

Will you truly be able to stay together

and endure, without giving up, until you both get through it?

Older Brother.

I promise to lose the flicking baduk stones games to you from now on.

So let's go back now.

You were piqued for way too long.

Silly. I didn't leave because I lost flicking baduk stones games to you.

Did you think it was easy to keep the order of heaven and earth?

I'm sure that's the case. Of course.

At any rate, it is time to return now.

South Dipper, come with me. To the future.

North Dipper Star King.

You are here too.

Are you still hungry?

Yi Hyeon.

To sate that hunger of yours

the entire universe moved for you.

Coffee is here.

Thank you.

First item on Fairy Café menu.

It's the Deer's Tears.

Professor, why aren't you having any?

Does it not suit you, by chance?

What a kind kid.

In order to feed me one spoonful of porridge... - You followed me all the way here.

Professor, what are you doing?

I will dry it well so it can fly away.

Fairy Café

Monk Master.

Right. You're kind.

Professor Jeong, do you have a pen?

I forgot something important.

But didn't you say earlier that you were headed to the future?

I'm going to make a brief trip to a hundred years ago.

Excuse me?

I should've come right away but I went on the wrong road.

Jeom Dol

Welcome.

Welcome, Jeom Dol.

Jeom Dol.

Jeom Dol.

It's rain. Rain!

Why is it raining?

The fire is being extinguished.

It is.

So you shouldn't look down on anyone recklessly.

You never know. I might be a dragon too.

So what if you're not a dragon?

Even if you're a spoon worm, to me you're the most dashing one.

Stop already.

Do you want to set this place on fire too?

Hiss ...

It's already on fire.

So now you two are the mess-making twins?

What if I showed you my real skill earlier?!

I am indeed Teacher Goo!

Ok Nam.

Ok Nam, have you been well?

How are you all coming together?

Yes, Army Star. Destruction Army Star! Since I exiled you,

do you know how my heart ached?

Are you alright, Professor?

You're alright, right?

That ... Destruction Army Star.

Kim Kim, you rascal.

Off of me, rascal!

No!

Greedy Wolf Star's power to save trees and plants,

met with the warm breeze of Destruction Army Star.

Henceforth, you have blown beautiful lives

into the trees and forest once again.

I think we won't need to worry about the fairy waterfall.

Older Brother. Are we now going up then?

We ought to.

Since we're talking about it, let's just go now.

I've been down here for too long too.

North Dipper Star King.

Wait. I have something to ask you.

You finally see me now?

Army Star, you've changed a lot, you know.

I'm sorry, North Dipper Star King.

Alright. Tell me.

Greedy Wolf Star lost her winged robe, so for 699 years,

she was confined to the human world.

What does it take for her to go back to the celestial sphere?

This is all my fault.

I stole her winged robe and that became the reason for Greedy Wolf Star to be confined to the human world.

The moment I touched Greedy Wolf Star's winged robe,

on the power of breeze, the butterflies on the winged robe spread their wings and flew away.

Can you please tell me...

What must be done so that Greedy Wolf Star, who is in the human world because of my fault,

can get her winged robe back

and return safely to the celestial sphere?

He said that you've already received back your lost winged robe.

He said to open your wardrobe when you return home.

I thought there was a butterfly here.

Now that you mention it,

when I bought this at the shop to gift it to you ...

What was that just now?

Did I imagine it?

I think I found my winged robe.

Thanks to you.

Miss Fairy.

Will you go up to the celestial sphere?

I heard from Jeom Soon before...

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

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

It's true.

I miss it so much.

Don't go, Miss Fairy.

Don't go.

Although I did get back my memory as your husband,

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

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

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

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

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

But still, ...

for me, Miss Fairy ...

You are perfect!

Just as you are now.
