There it was,

a rugged mountain area,where no human dared to go.

Episode 1

Only the mythical creatures protectingthe mountain since the beginning,

are said to occasionally appear.It is that place.

It is named Moonlight Garden.

In this Moonlight Garden,

protecting Mt. Jiri since a thousand years ago,

a Divine Being was living there.

Wol Ryung!

Wol Ryung, where are you?

It's me, So Jung!

Hey, Wol Ryung!

Oh no, he didn't possibly... not again,

We're finally here.

Just get out already.

What are you waiting for that you're not getting off?

I'm busy! I've got other places to go to!

Hey,

just hurry up already!

Lady!

Sis!

Sis! Are you alright?

Are you not hurt?

You! How dare you be rude to her?!

What, what?

Rude?

Listen to him!

For a traitor's son with your defamedstatus, are you still acting like a noble?

How dare you?!

Shut that mouth of yours!

You shut that mouth of yours!

How insolent you are! I'm way older than you!

I'll throw you into a heap of horse manure!

Just let go of him!

Can't you have a little bit of compassion?

What?

Who had been taking care of your family all this time?

Wasn't it our Lord's kindness?

Man, seriously...

How can you change so drastically?

How can you?!

Man, seriously!

What a bad luck I'm having!

Aigoo, Young Master!

Hey there!

Hey! Can't you hear me?

Aigoo, you're here!

What took you so long to open the door?

Here you go.

I've done my part of the deal.

I'll be off then.

Wait, wait,

come in and have a drink of rice wine.

I would love to,

but I've got to serve my mother's spirit tonight.

Spare that rice wine for when I come next time!

Alright, I'll do that.

Alright then, have a good evening.

Let's go now.

Let's go.

What are you waiting for? Just hurry in!

Just, what is this place for?

What place?

Don't you know what Choonhwagwan is?

What?

Choonhwagwan?

Isn't that a Gisaeng House?

Noonim!

Yes sir! The Five-Drum-Dance,Gisaeng Chun is the world's best!

The best in the whole world!

The new Lord is totally smitten!

He was drooling like crazy while watching you dance.

I bet he wasn't just drooling.

His pants were probably...

Ahem. You're on it again!

How come the words coming out of your mouths are so vulgar?

My lady, it's me, Jang Shoe.

What is it?

Well, my lady...

I'm not going in!- If you're not,

you've been sold as a State Gisaeng,what do you want to do, die?

It's better you kill me.

I'd rather die than go in there!

Listen, dear. I'm really busy right now because of the magistrate's party.

So just get in while I'm still asking you nicely.

Just go in already!

Let go!

Let go of me!

I'm not going in, I said!

Don't you hear what she said?

Get off! Don't touch my sister!

What's with the noise?

Aigoo, my lady.

Whose children are they?

Deputy-Minister Yoon, who was executed for treason a while ago.

Treason, huh?

Then, they are the kids of high treason criminals.

Please don't speak with such contempt!

Our father was wrongfully framed and accused!

He would never have committed treason!

That's none of my concern.

For whatever reason,you've been sold as a State Gisaeng.

As such, from now on,you must follow the rules of this house.

I won't.

It doesn't matter.

You don't have a choice!

I will not go inside no matter what!

I will not

become a lowly gisaeng!

A lowly gisaeng?

I see.

Jang Shoe,

Yes, my lady!

Strip her.

What, what are you doing?

Lady!

Stop that at once!

Sis! Sis!

Stop that! What are you doing?!

Lady!- Sis!

How dare you!

How dare you do this?!

Lady!

Lady!- Sis!

Sis!

Tie her up.

Lady!- Sis!

Stop that!

Lady!- Sis!

Lady!

Keep those two locked up in the storage room.

Keep her tied up here until I tell you otherwise.

Don't give her any food or water without my explicit instructions.

Understood?

Yes, my lady!

Sis! - Lady!

Lady! - Sis!

Open the door! Just open it already!

Sis!

What should we do now?

Lady! Lady!

Listen!

What is this all about?

What in the...

My dear, do you even know what tree you're tied to?

It's a Shame Tree!

For girls like you who come fromnoble families with their attitude,

this is the Shame Tree that breaks you in!

Shame Tree?

Just give up all that petty pride as nobility,

and leave it behind on that tree.

When morning comes, just plead for mercy

to the head gisaeng lady, asking for forgiveness.

Or you may suffer something even worse!

Listen! Listen!

How can you

do this to another human being?

Please set me free!

Please set me free!

Hello!

Subtitles brought to you by the Gumiho Lovers Team @Viki.

No, I can't.

I promised So Jung that I wouldn't meddle with human affairs.

I can't.

Help me!

Help me...

Help me.

Father! Father!

Accept the royal order!

His Majesty has ordered that the traitor Yoon Gi Soo be executed!

Father!

Listen, Gwang Woong! How can you falsely accuse me like this?

After all those years of our friendship?

You called me a friend in words, but

you always looked down on me because of my humble origin.

That's why I've come to teach you this lesson clearly.

That you shouldn't have treated me like that.

Let go of me!

Father! Father!

Seo Hwa!

Don't be too sad.

I'll make your precious daughter a State Gisaeng

and cherish her dearly.

I wonder,

what would it be like to sleep with

a noble daughter of a prestigious family?

Jo Gwang Woong,

you bastard!

Father!

Now, let's drink!

Congratulations, sir!

Peony flower!

Sir!

My lord, it is Chun Soo Ryun.

Aigoo, Head Chun!

Come on in! Come in!

Congratulations, my lord.

I heard you were promoted to Senior Rank 5 Officer.

News does travel fast!

How come rumors travel so fast when they don't even have feet?

Actually, I was recognized for capturing a traitor.

You mean Deputy-Minister Yoon?

You know about that, too?

I believe you've brought him here a couple times as a friend.

We were friends once.

However,

even though I'm of a humble origin, I'm a state officer.

I can't possibly side with a traitor, even if he's my friend.

Don't you agree?

Of course, I understand.

Still, thinking about him makes me really sad.

That's why I've come to see you.

I made a final promise with him before he died.

What do you mean?

The daughter of Yoon Gi Soo.

When she's made into a State Gisaeng,that I'd be the first one to have her,

I absolutely did promise him.

Is that so?

Hence, I'd like to perform her first rite as gisaeng.

How long would it take to prepare for that?

She'll have to be trained as a gisaeng and become registered.

It would take 2 or 3 months at least.

I see.

We have a problem here.

As you know, I'm rather busy now.

So, make it 5 days.

Within that time, be done with all the preparation.

-But, my lord... -I said 5 days, Head Chun!

Huh?

I'll know it as such and wait.

Come here!

Let's see here again...

Aigoo, look at you!

Do you even know what tree you're tied to?

It's what they call a 'Shame Tree'.

Ooh la la!

For girls like you who come fromnoble families with their attitude,

this is the 'Shame Tree' that breaks you in!

I won't be defeated by this!

I won't!

I'm not going to become a lowly gisaeng!

Never!

♫ Love hurts like a cold,

♫ Tears are bitter,Because of love

I help her, I don't help her.

I help her, I don't help her.

I help her, I don't help her.

I help her, I don't help...

Darn! ♫ Even as it hurts, hurts and hurts more

♫ The reason why I live,Because it is you

♫ As much as I love you, Oh, Love makes me hurt

She's young and quite obstinate.

It's been three days without a sip ofwater, and she's still holding out.

What are you going to do?

Of the five days the officer has given,

only three days remain.

I won't be defeated.

There is no way...

A lowly gisaeng...

I will not be.

Finally, I found you.

Had I known you were here, I wouldn't have gone through the whole forest.

So Jung!

Stop it. Let the humans sort it out.

But it's too cruel, and she's so young!

She's been tied up like that for three days now!

Yes, she's young, and yes, it's cruel,

but it's her destiny.

You should not meddle with it.

Have you forgotten the promise you made with me?

I just want to help out a poor little helpless child.

You promised me that you won't meddle with

human affairs!

Just once!

What's the big deal about doing it just once?

The first exception is the most crucial mistake!

Once you make the first exception, the second and third times become easier!

Stop trying to mess with the fates of the humans!

Keep in mind that there is a definite distinction between you and humans.

Did I just mess with your fate?

Have I crossed a line I shouldn't have crossed?

I just mean to help a poor, helpless child.

Lady, have you returned to your senses?

Dam,

is it you?

Yes, my lady, it's me.

Aigoo, you made it alive, my lady.

You had such a high fever all night long,

I thought I was going to lose you!

I was so heartbroken!

Where am I?

What do you mean where? You're inside Choonhwagwan.

The head gisaeng lady had a change of heart,

and ordered to have you brought in.

And so...

Move aside.

Lady?

I said even if I die, I would not come into this place.

Hurry and move aside! I'll never stay at a place like this.

What are you going to do if you don't stay here?

Once a girl is sold as a State Gisaeng,

she has no choice but to live as a gisaeng

and sell drinks, her laughter, and her body.

I would rather be

tied to the Shame Tree.

I would rather be tied there and die.

Lady...

Sister!

Yoon!

Sister, are you safe?

Yoon!

I will ask you again,

do you still refuse to be a gisaeng?

Think carefully and reply.

Your answer

will determine whether your brother lives or dies.

Sister! Do not worry about me. I do not care about what happens to me.

Just do not be a gisaeng!

Now, what will you do?

Sister!

I said what is your answer!

Start the beating.

Yes!

Young Master...

My lady...

Stop!

Stop!

Let my brother go.

I...

will do whatever you tell me to do.

Save my brother's life.

Sister!

Lady...

Chief maid.

Yes, my lady.

Dress this girl up.

Yes, ma'am.

Sister...

Sister...!

Sister...

♫ There's a stone for the things forgotten.

♫ Just a stone for all you wanted

♫ Look, a stone for what will not be; All you thought was there.

♫ Softly now thread

♫ through the towns and the dark,

♫ Softly be led by the clouds and the stars.

♫ When the distances grow, When the wind starts to blow,

♫Something whispers from afar,

♫ There's a home in the heart. Another heaven...

♫ There's a time for everything

♫ There's a song for every dream.

♫ There's a world that's yet to be...

Oh my, she is beautiful!

She looks no different than a fairy.

Anyway,

it's really a pity.

Why Officer Jo of all people?

What do you mean?

Officer Jo?

I'm talking about Jo Gwan Woong.

Your sister is going to sleep with him tonight.

Wait, what?!

Jo Gwan Woong? That cursed bastard

who framed our Lord, your father?

Yes, that guy.

He wasn't satisfied with destroying our family,

and now he even wants to defile my sister!

Oh my, what a blasted felon!

So I was thinking,

could you help us, Dam?

Me? How can I help?

If we get caught, we'll be in huge trouble.

I know.

You'll be solely responsible for it.

It pains me to ask you to do this,

but there is nobody that can do this except for you.

What should we do? We need to stop Jo Gwan Woong defiling my sister at all cost!

That... that is true.

I beg of you, Dam.

Please save my sister.

Please, I beg of you.

Ah... so pretty!

What use is being pretty when she's just a lowly gisaeng?

When told to pour wine, she has to,

and when told to offer her body, she has to.

Anyway, how come she's doing the first rite even before a proper registration?

Listen, sis, you know who's behind it!

That Jo Gwan Woong with that hot temper!

If he's not appeased, he might kill someone.

Even our head gisaeng lady tries to be careful around him.

Such chatterboxes. Just shut up and get out!

Now!

What does that mean? Jo Gwang Woong...?

Is it that

I'll be sleeping with him?

Is that what you mean?

There's nothing you can do about it.

It's all because you're born with such a lousy fate.

This can't be!

With Jo Gwan Woong...?

With Jo Gwan Woong...?

Lady! Lady!

It's me.

Dam,

Why did you come in here?

What are you doing?

We have no time, the Young Master is waiting outside by the back door.

Hurry and take off your clothes, my Lady.

Please... Change into my clothes and run away!

What are you saying?

Run away?

What about you? What are you going to do when I run away?

I'll be alright after a few beatings,

but things will be different for you, Lady.

You shouldn't be defiled by that vicious man that killed your father!

Dam!

You have to come out alive.

You have to stay alive so that you can clear your father's name!

You have to stay alive to get revenge on Jo Gwan Woong, too!

Dam!

In addition, you have to stay alive so

you can take me in again.

So,

you can't die.

If you die, you won't accomplish anything.

All right?

Dam!

Lady...

Soon

the lord you will be serving tonight will enter.

As soon as he gets here,

he will be coming for you,

so behave yourself and prepare yourself.

Raise your head.

I said, raise your head!

Oh my!

Who is this?

Where is she?

Tell me, immediately!

I don't know.

I just

changed clothes with her!

You wench!

You're just asking to be punished!

It's the truth, my lady.

I really don't know anything.

I swear the only thing I did was change clothes with her!

How insolent!

Lady!

Officer Jo just got here!

Chief maid,

tell Jang Shoe

to capture that runaway Seo Hwa at once!

Jo Gwan Woong must not find out.

So tell him to be careful

and fast.

Yes, I understand.

And you, Dam,

will have to serve

Officer Jo tonight.

I understand...

What?

Head gisaeng lady,

I cannot do that!

How could I...

Head gisaeng lady,

I did wrong!

Please save me once!

I'm really sorry!

If you want to live,

you'll have to serve him well with your mouth shut.

If by any chance

he finds out it's you before the first rite,

I myself will cut your head off.

Do you understand?

Aigoo,

head gisaeng lady!

Why are you just standing there?

Go send the men to capture that Seo Hwa!

NOW!

What's going on?

The forest is restless.

What's taking so long?

Please understand.

Because the child is young,

she's really scared.

It's not like I'm going to devour her.

Why would she be scared?

About that, I'd like to request something of you, sir.

Please put out the candle.

Why?

We could not tell her that she'll be serving you.

She's a state gisaeng now,

but you killed her father.

I'm afraid that she might

try to kill herself after seeing your face.

I suppose if she bites her own tongue or something

before the real fun starts, that wouldn't be fun at all.

All right. I understand what you mean.

Are you happy now?

Bring the child in.

I hope you have a good night.

You must not say a word

before the first rite is over.

Not only is your life at stake,

but also the life of Seo Hwa who ran away.

Keep this on your mind over and over again.

That's it!

You have to resist me like this

for me to enjoy defiling you!

My Lady!

My Lady!

Yes!

You're mine now!

I'll take you

over and over again!

Until I make every part of your body mine!

I'll take you

over and over!

My Lady!!!

Are you all right?

Dam...

There is no time, Sister!

We have to keep going!

We can't stay here!

Here.

You have to stay alive.

If you die, you can't accomplish anything!

Let's go.

Here!

That way!

Oh!

Aigoo, he's going to kill her!

You must endure this.

Only if you endure it,

Seo Hwa will live

and all of us will live as well.

Sister!

Sister...

Go.

Yoon, you go on ahead.

What are you saying?

Are you telling me to run away without you?

I cannot do that.

I'd rather die together than survive by myself!

Did I ever say that I would die?

I'll hide myself somehow,

so you run away.

If we keep going like this, we will both die.

So...

So we should split up and find a way to survive.

I don't want to!

I can't leave you behind.

Please

do as I say.

If we both get captured here...

no one will be able to clear our father's death!

For Dam's sake, too,

aren't you sorry for her?

Sister!

So,

leave now.

I can live only if you leave.

Please, leave.

Okay?

Now!

Please stay alive.

I'll find you no matter where you are!

No matter what happens, stay alive.

Okay, now go.

Go now.

Dam,

I'm sorry.

I think this is my end.

At least Jung Yoon will live, though.

Please forgive me with that.

How dare you trick me?!

How dare you try to fool me with a maidservant?!

Where is Seo Hwa?

Get me Seo Hwa right now!

You can only bed a state gisaeng after she's been properly registered.

Hence, if you want to bed her,

come back after she's been properly registered.

Then, I'll gladly offer her to you, sir.

You must have a death wish.

You must be so eager to die!

If you kill me,

would that make you feel better?

What?

Go get me my sword!

Go get my sword from the room!

Oh, my lord, please calm down.

It is not our Head Gisaeng's fault.

That Seo Hwa ran away, so...

What?

Just be quiet, Chief Maid!

After all we went through to get her prettied up, she ran away!

It is Seo Hwa that ran away that you should kill,

not our Head Gisaeng Lady.

Ran away? Seo Hwa, that wench?

Please forget what you just heard.

If the authorities find out, Seo Hwa, that child, is good as dead.

She is still young, give her one more chance, my lord.

I promise you, I'll bring her back without a doubt.

Is anyone out there?

Yes, sir.

Go report to the authorities that a state slave has run away!

Get the slave hunters ready and tell them to capture the runaway slaves!

Yes, I understand.

Sister...

Who are you?

Are you the slave that ran away from Choonhwagwan?

That...what do you mean?

Who was caught?

Seo Hwa's younger brother.

He was caught by the slave hunters early this morning,

and is about to be hung out on the streets!

Ya! Dam! Dam-ah!

Young Master...

Young Master...

Young Master...!

Dam-ah!

I'll ask you for the last time.

Where did Seo Hwa run off to?

What a tragedy this is,

that I have to die without breaking your neck!

That is my only regret!

Hang him!

Yes, sir!

Dam,

thank you.

I won't forget

your kindness

even in the afterlife.

Young Master...

What do you mean? What did you see in the forest?

Gu---Gumiho is what I saw, Head gisaeng lady!

What?

Gumiho?

I don't understand what you're talking about. What's this talk about a Gumiho?

I'm positive it was a gumiho!

At first, I thought it was a red devil that was sneaking around,

and then suddenly that creature appeared.

Oh my goodness!

Are you sure that was truly a Gumiho?

I'm positive that it was a nine tailed Gumiho!

I thought for a moment that I would never see you again.

Say something that makes sense!

How dare they report something so ridiculous after seeing some illusions?!

Since the 7-8 men that were present all saw it, it can't be just an illusion.

Then, what about Seo Hwa?

What happened to that girl?

I think she fell victim to the Gumiho in my opinion.

Oh my the poor thing.

The Gumiho is known for liking a living human's liver the best.

Poor thing.

My lady!

My lady!

The...th...th..that.

Oh my...

Oh my what are we going to do?

Aigoo, this poor thing! This wretched thing!

Are you finally awake?

Who are you?

I was worried about you since you hadn't woken up yet.

How are you feeling?

Who are you?

I am Gu Wol Ryung.

Don't worry...

I chased away the ones who were chasing you.

In this place, no one can bother you.

No one will tie you to a tree

or threaten your life.

I am Sheriff Dam Pyung Jun.

Do you know why I'm organizing this dispatch group?

I heard that a life-threatening Gumiho has appeared in the mountains.

Whether it is a Gumiho or something else,

since something ominous seems to be lurking about,

it does not bode well for a peaceful life for the common people. Right?

Indeed, my lord.

I, Dam Pyung Joon, will turn the forest upside down if I have to to capture it.

You're the ones who saw the Gumiho?

Yes sir. I saw it with my own eyes.

Then could you find the way back to that location?

Follow me.

I definitely remember the way back!

Let's go.

Yes.

Isn't that man Dam Pyung Joon?

This is bad.

Wol Ryung, where are you?

Wol Ryung! Wol Ryung!

What the matter So Jung?

You had said you wouldn't be back for another month or so.

Well, you see, there is a dispatch of soldiers in the mountain...

By the way who is that girl?

Yoon Seo Hwa.

Y-Yoon Seo Hwa?

The one who was tied to the Shame Tree.

Do you not remember?

You've seriously created a mess for yourself.

That woman came into my forest first!

She asked me for help first, so...

Send that girl away from this mountain immediately!

She was being chased. If I send her away she will be killed as soon as they find her.

It's her fate whether she lives or dies!

It has nothing to do with you.

How many times do I need tell you that?

No.

It's my business now.

Since when has a human's fate become your business?

From the moment I gave that girl my heart.

So exactly why would you...

What?!

So I was thinking, how could I procure the Gu family book?

Why the heck are you bringing up the Gu family book...

Don't tell me...

Yes.

I want to become a human.

Dam Pyung Joon.

Go get this Gumiho!

I've found something!

Also,

find the dead body of Seo Hwa for sure!

It is a mysterious mountain,

inapproachable to human feet.

The very place where only the mythical guardians appear occasionally.

In that Moonlight Garden,

their sad legendary story

was just beginning.

What did you just say?

You want to become a human?

That's right.

You...

You?

Yes.

I...

want to be a human

Preview Episode 2

For the first time in a thousand years, I met a woman that makes my heart race.

How dare you, a mere Gumiho, try to court a human woman by

telling her lies, abducting her, and misleading her?

Seo Hwa, I loved you...

I loved you so much...

He's not a monster! He's not a monster!

Since he was thrown in the river, he shall be named Kang Chi!

Kang Chi!

Choi Kang Chi, huh?
