Original subtitles

It's itchy and prickly, right?

Take off your bag and sit against the wall.

Sit tight. I'll fix you up in no time.

Oh, I'm honestly okay.

You're not okay.

I thought Si-won was home. That's why I stopped by.

Your eye…

You have

a cursed splinter in your eye.

-Sorry? -A cursed splinter.

You have to yank that out for that red eye to get better.

Hold it tight like this.

And hold this in your mouth. Take a full mouthful.

A mouthful.

Swish it around and spit it out here.

Spit it out.

Give it to me.

Okay.

Feels a bit better now, huh?

What the heck? This is better than the hospital.

You're seriously comparing me to a doctor?

I'm completely different from a doctor.

How are you different?

Anyone can become a doctor if they grind hard enough.

But people like us? You've actually gotta be gifted.

An innate gift.

You know what I mean, don't you?

Well, go see that girl who ran away from home.

SI-WON

Goodbye, ma'am.

Tell her not to skip her meals.

What? You fell back asleep that quickly?

Yeah.

Aren't you cold?

You should sleep at home when it's this cold.

It's even snowing outside.

It's better than smelling like incense.

Wait, it's snowing? In March?

Si-won.

Should I join the coding club too?

Hey, Do Hye-ryung!

-Hurry! We'll be late if we miss the bus. -We won't be late.

Slow down. We won't be late.

Seriously!

Hey!

Hey.

Whoa, hey!

What are you doing?

-Let's take our time. -What's with you?

Hey, the bus…

Han Gi-tae?

Huh?

You like him, don't you?

No, I don't.

Want me to tell him?

Hey, no. Don't ever tell him.

-Are you close with Gi-tae? -Yeah.

He joined our club, remember?

I was right.

You like him, huh?

Don't worry. I'll keep your secret.

You mean it?

For as long as you keep my secret.

-There you are. -Goodness.

-Over here. -Move over.

It's warm.

Sit here. It's a heated seat.

Oh dear.

Sorry about that.

Thank you, girls.

I was half-asleep, so I wasn't sure if I really smelled incense,

but did you go inside my house?

You're scary good.

You didn't pick up your phone.

It was freezing, so I figured you'd be sleeping at home.

Your mom told me to come in so she could fix my eye.

It's one thing to come over. I told you not to play along with her.

Why don't you listen?

I'm sorry.

But it actually worked this time.

Look. It was super red, but now you can't even tell.

You're doing this just to annoy me.

This wouldn't have happened if you'd picked up.

Hey, are you blaming me?

If I don't, just go without me. I never asked you to come with me.

All right.

From now on, I'll just ignore your mom, no matter what she says, okay?

Promise.

You actually like hanging out with someone who drinks and calls it shaman stuff?

My sincerest apologies.

Okay?

OUR FACULTY AND STAFF SUPPORT THE NEW BEGINNINGS OF ALL NEW STUDENTS

Good morning.

Hey, Kwon Si-won.

Si-won.

Have you decided what you're doing for the app contest?

I thought about it yesterday.

-Let's talk about it in the clubroom. -Sure.

Why don't you join the coding club?

You're around this genius every day.

Oh, can I also--

She's not into tinkering with machines.

Really?

Then what are you into?

She's… into shamanism.

Shamanism? Like fortunetelling and stuff?

Do my fortune too.

Hey, Hee-jin.

Hey. You're actually on time for once.

Teacher kept bitching about how I'm dead if I'm late again.

I skipped breakfast to leave hella early. Wanna hit the cafeteria?

Si-won. You should come with us.

Go on ahead.

Let's hurry.

Oh, I have to go to my club today.

Should I wait?

Si-won.

Let's go.

Just go without me.

Why do you keep buying so much alcohol when you're drinking alone?

I'm not drinking alone.

It's not like you're drinking with your high school daughter.

You know that's not what I mean.

If you're so curious, why not come over to my place?

My goodness.

Don't try that joke on me, you quack shaman.

A quack?

Does it seem like a joke to you?

You really think you can hide from me?

Hello, ma'am.

-Hello. -Yeah.

Where's my daughter?

Her club will finish late.

-Oh, really? -Yes.

Wanna come over to my place?

No, ma'am.

Why's that?

I bet you're itching to come over to my place right now.

Goodbye, ma'am.

Goodness me, that hurts.

Damn it.

Oh dear.

"Awards. Minister's Award, one team."

"Governor's Award, one team. Superintendent's Award, two teams."

Even fourth place looks good on college applications.

You'll win for us, right?

Once we pick a theme, coding should be easy.

Then while we're prepping for the contest, I'll do Si-won's snack runs.

I'll also help with UI design.

Then I will

grant you one wish.

Like Si-won would ever need anything from you.

But her friend might.

She keeps glancing at you every day.

-I see Do Hye-ryung has good taste. -Hey.

Be careful.

She's one scary girl.

-Why do you say that? -Her mom's a shaman.

And not just any shaman, but a hella famous whack job shaman.

-This bastard's lying again. -I'm serious, dipshit.

My cousin went to Baekun Middle School.

I heard the daughter of a crazy shaman who drove her husband to death went there.

And that

is Do Hye-ryung.

For real?

-Hey, I think it's true. -Yeah.

That's why you brought up shamanism earlier, right?

That's enough. Let's brainstorm the theme.

Shamanism.

-Hey, I like shamanism. -For the love of…

You don't wanna do the contest? Should we quit?

I'm talking about what you said, Gi-tae.

What do you mean?

You just said that you'd grant any wish.

What comes to mind when it comes to shamanism? Saju.

So an app where you enter your saju, make a wish,

and the wish somehow gets granted--

Hey!

Don't get carried away.

Hear me out.

I think we're onto something. Shamanism!

But… what exactly is saju?

Isn't it your birthdate?

Should we ask Do Hye-ryung?

If you don't want to do it, back out.

Stop distracting everyone.

Hey, Si-won.

Fuck me, that bitch is scary.

What did I say?

I told you, didn't I? You were itching to come to my place.

Shall I leave this here?

Oh, that?

Go leave it in that room over there.

You've been dying to know what's in there since last time, right?

Go ahead.

What are you doing?

You think I told you to go in there just to stare at stuff?

It's strangely soothing, isn't it?

They're cute.

Pick one.

It's a gift.

That's the one

you were drawn to the most?

What's the name of this one?

Deolmi.

You grab the scruff of someone's neck, dwitdeolmi, like this,

and shake them however you want.

Hence the name "deolmi."

You can do it too.

Sorry?

I'm saying you can grab them and shake them however you want.

Here.

Take something that belongs to the person you want to grab by deolmi.

Preferably their nails, toenails, or hair.

Tie that thing to the doll with the silk thread.

Then carve out the eyes, nose, and mouth on the face,

write down their saju here,

and spray it all over until the silk thread turns red…

-Spray what? -Blood.

Come on, you're kidding.

I'm not joking.

Warm, fresh blood that still has life in it.

I told you, didn't I?

You're special.

If you do exactly as I said,

you can shake a person around just like with this deolmi.

Come on, I couldn't do that.

Do you want to be my daughter?

My spirit daughter.

If you're home, you should let me know!

What are you doing, sneaking around like a thief?

A thief is better than a woman who drove her husband to death.

Hey, Si-won.

It's a misunderstanding. This is--

Misunderstanding? Fuck, you were inside.

Always acting friendly. Gathering evidence to blackmail me?

Why would I blackmail you?

Shut up and don't follow me.

It's a misunderstanding.

I mean it.

Si-won, I'm sorry.

Have you ever heard that if you write down your saju and make a wish,

it'll come true?

Incense makes me wanna throw up.

It disgusts me when those who aren't any better than I am

pity me as the daughter of a shaman who drove her man to death.

And then there's my crazy mom, always drinking and rambling nonstop…

FEBRUARY 1, 2005 KWON SI-WON

I wish she were dead.

That is my wish.

Got any wishes you want to make?

Huh?

Do you have any wishes you wanna make?

Yeah.

I wish you'd accept my apology.

Not that kind of thing.

A wish you'd held onto for a very long time.

A wish you couldn't tell anyone

and kept to yourself.

I want Gi-tae…

to be my boyfriend.

Your biggest secret is that you like Han Gi-tae?

Then let's do it.

Let's make a wish.

How?

My wish is that…

MARCH 12, 2005 DO HYE-RYUNG

…well, Gi-tae and I…

Scratch that.

Please make Gi-tae fall for me.

No. I told you. That's not how you do it.

Do it sincerely and wholeheartedly.

Take it seriously, like when I confessed my secret earlier.

And from now on,

all that "um, well, uh, no" crap is forbidden.

But still--

"But still" is forbidden.

It's an app test. Do we have to go this far?

And I told you. It's not "fall for me." It's "fall in love with me."

Let me show you.

"Make Gi-tae fall in love with me!"

Hey, "love"?

This is so hard, seriously.

Love is hard.

You talk like you've been in love.

Make Gi-tae fall in love with me.

Please make Gi-tae fall in love with me!

Make Gi-tae fall in love with me,

no matter what!

Sometimes, I…

Actually, often, I get scared of you.

Why's that?

Because you know me way too well.

Is me knowing you so well a bad thing?

Do you know why people don't like my mom?

She keeps seeing through…

the things they want to hide.

Everyone's got a lot they want to hide.

For me, that's my home.

I promised, didn't I?

That I'd keep it secret.

If I make you uncomfortable,

I'll keep my distance at school.

I don't know.

But this secret is no joke either.

-Hey, delete that right now. -No way.

Delete it.

-No way. -Come on, not cool.

-Come on. -Hurry up and go to sleep.

Let's go to sleep. Now.

-Let's sleep. -You need to…

-Go to sleep. -I'm not sleeping until you delete it.

That app you made… Girigo, was it? I think it'll win first place.

-Really? -Yeah. It's simple but super fun.

After making my wish,

my heart's racing, like it's gonna come true.

And the best part was

that we got to share our secrets.

That was kinda fun.

Let's keep our secrets.

Yeah. No matter what.

Every time? What kind of "every time"?

You get this, right?

And what is an "article"? An article.

"Every time we read an article on the Internet."

But is that a complete sentence? Not yet.

What comes next? Let's see.

See a commercial on TV or…

Kwon Si-won.

Put your phone away!

I'm sorry, ma'am.

The "be" verb. "Likely to come into contact."

What does that mean?

"Be likely to" means "probably will…"

-Right? -Right.

Anywhere we could smoke?

Yeah. Can we order anything here?

Maybe the wish is actually working.

I made eye contact with Gi-tae twice today.

See? I told you it works.

Just wish for it sincerely.

You like him that much?

I don't know.

My goodness!

I'm not selling alcohol to a quack shaman!

Fuck.

That's probably how you drove your man to his death, huh?

I'm leaving.

I said I'm not selling! Why cause a scene?

What would you fucking know?

Why come here all drunk?

-To pick a fight? -Let go! Now!

Get out of my way!

SI-WON, DON'T STRESS TOO MUCH… YOUR MOM…

I'M AT THE HIDEOUT. WHEN ARE YOU COMING?

Hey, have you had…

Hey.

Dear me.

Even your friend treats me better than you do.

Have you…

My goodness. Damn it.

I MIGHT JUST SLEEP AT HOME TONIGHT! SEE YOU TOMORROW!

I MIGHT JUST SLEEP AT HOME TONIGHT! SEE YOU TOMORROW!

What the heck?

Goodness me.

Hair.

My daughter's hair.

SEORIN

My daughter, Si-won.

My daughter, Si-won, please…

Heavenly spirit, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. The foolish child didn't know what she was doing.

I pray to the Bulsa Jeseok.

Please punish me instead of my daughter.

Please punish me instead of my daughter, Si-won.

I pray to Hwangsa Jebul and Bulsa Jeseok.

Please accept my sincerity and forgive my daughter, Si-won.

The call could not be connected.

Hye-ryung!

Wait.

You have to listen to me carefully.

Put this amulet on Si-won or in her bag without her knowing, no matter what.

That girl takes after her father,

so I'm sure just seeing an amulet will freak her out.

Still, you have to put it in without her noticing.

I couldn't save my husband, but I have to save my child at least.

Okay?

Why aren't you answering? Huh?

You should go to the hospital first.

You saw how I fixed your eye, right?

I'll take care of myself, so you hurry and go to Si-won, okay?

Get out of here!

Go! Now!

Hurry! Go now!

Go! Now!

Si-won.

-Today, at your place-- -What?

What about my place?

The thing is…

I'm sorry.

What's with her?

The Road Away by Kim So-wol.

The thought of saying I miss you Only makes me miss you more

Perhaps I should just leave And yet, once again…

That girl takes after her father,

so I'm sure just seeing an amulet will freak her out.

Still, you have to put it in without her noticing.

I couldn't save my husband, but I have to save my child at least.

Okay?

There are crows on that mountain And crows in the field

They caw as the sun sets Over the western hills

The river…

Seriously.

Be right back.

I'll come with you.

Hey.

What are you doing?

This morning, your mom--

It was freaking crazy.

She slapped Do Hye-ryung and tore the amulet to shreds.

That's creepy as hell. Just wow.

Doesn't something feel off?

She avoids talking about Do Hye-ryung,

and she blows up whenever shamanism comes up.

Maybe Kwon Si-won's the one connected to the shaman.

Well,

right before Do Hye-ryung got slapped,

she said something weird.

But maybe I just misheard her.

What did she say?

Just spit it out.

Well,

Do Hye-ryung was being really careful with Si-won, and…

Fucking Do Hye-ryung.

"This morning, your mom--"

You're here.

Come check it out.

Our entry for this contest.

-So soon? -That was quick.

How did you pull this off?

Isn't the design a bit too dark?

I like it.

Of course you like it. You didn't do a thing.

None of you did anything. Don't you agree?

But still…

All you did was run your mouth, but you came up with the design idea.

And you talked mad smack behind my back,

but you brought up shamanism.

Gi-tae, you haven't contributed at all,

so help me with this.

Hey.

Have you heard of Girigo…

What?

Have you heard of an app that grants wishes?

What are you saying?

Make Gi-tae fall in love with me.

What's that?

Make Gi-tae fall in love with me, no matter what!

Hey, what's up with her?

That's gotta be embarrassing!

Make Gi-tae fall in love with me, no matter what!

Make Gi-tae fall in love with me, no matter what!

Hey, it's in the group chat.

Hey, what's this?

Damn! So freaking embarrassing.

Please make Gi-tae fall in love with me!

Make Gi-tae fall in love with me.

Make Gi-tae fall in love with me, no matter what!

Hey.

Shamanism.

Accept her confession!

You really are a crazy shaman's daughter.

How can you believe that crap? Huh?

Man, you've got shit for brains.

Shit, you hear me? Huh?

Hey, stop filming.

It's fine.

Hey.

What makes you think you can confess to me?

Why the glare?

And you want me to love who? You crazy bitch!

Got a death wish?

Is that enough?

HAN GI-TAE

Take something that belongs to the person you want to grab by deolmi.

Preferably their nails, toenails, or hair.

Tie that thing to the doll with the silk thread.

Then carve out the eyes, nose, and mouth on the face,

write down their saju here,

and spray it all over until the silk thread turns red…

-Spray what? -Blood.

Warm, fresh blood that still has life in it.

MARCH 12, 2005 DO HYE-RYUNG

I told you. Not just anyone can do it just by copying the steps.

What matters more is…

An innate gift?

Yes, that's also important.

But what's more important than that

is one's heart.

According to the scriptures,

simwibeopbon simjonsimsa.

In other words, the mind is the root and master

of all things.

To control one arm,

you need to offer up at least a chicken.

To control two arms,

you need to offer up at least a pig.

Have you ever heard that…

if you write down your saju and make a wish…

it'll come true?

Yes, that's right.

I'll make the wish just the way you told me.

My wish is…

for all of you to die.

That's my wish.

Hey, Kwon Si-won! Did you see the video?

Delete it before anyone sees it!

This shit happened because you asked me to help!

I'll destroy the entire server if I have to,

so shut the hell up!

DELETE FOLDER

Damn it!

MULTIMEDIA ROOM CLOUD SERVER

No way.

Wondering what this crazy bitch is up to?

Yes, that's right.

I'll make the wish just the way you told me.

My wish is…

for all of you to die.

Fucking hell.

How could you…

I truly wish every one of you would just drop dead.

That's my wish.

How could you do this to me…

Fuck you, Do Hye-ryung!
