-I'm back! -You're home early.

-Where's our girl? -Sleeping in her room.

-Already? -Tired from practice.

Her show's tomorrow. You won't be late, right?

Of course! Starts at 7 PM?

I can't be late for our little girl's musical.

Wait! Where's my camera?

WRITER & DIRECTOR KIM Hyun-joo

My turn again.

I'm stuck doing this forever.

Everyday the same...

I'm sick of it.

What's the outside world like?

If only I could get out!

I'm getting out of here!

What's goin on?

Rat ran away!

-It's collapsing! -Oh no!

The ancient water clock, the Jagyeongnu, has stopped.

It is unclear why it stopped.

The expert who restored it is here to comment.

It's our musical poster!

Mother

Hi.

Hyunjuli? How's practice going?

I can't wait to see the show!

If you're busy, you don't have to come.

Silly!

I can't miss my only daughter's musical!

But I don't have an important role.

See you later!

-Here. -Thanks.

Oh, mom...

I can't make her not come. This sucks!

MOK-MYUK MOUNTAIN GOD OF MT. NAM-SAN

My neck kills!

I can't take it anymore, humans!

Brother Baek-ak!

Not again.

How are you feeling?

I have three holes! What do you think?

I need to soak in Okryu River. Switch places?

It's really polluted here too.

-I need to stretch! -It hurts all over!

Here I come!

LOST IN THE MOONLIGHT

Childnren's Musical at Changdeokgung Palace

Hyunjuli! It's rehearsal time!

I'm coming!

We waited here for you.

-Let's go. -Okay.

How about this?

Se-bom?

Help me!

Someone help me out!

-Please! -12 animal gods! You're up!

Yes!

Is anyone there?

Go slowly or you'll fall.

I couldn't breathe!

Am I invisible to them?

-Why are you late? -Sorry.

Drip-drop, the water falls.

Ringing throughout the empty pot.

We are the keepers of time.

The 12 animal gods.

Drip-drop, we turn all day.

Drip-drop, we turn and turn.

Tic-toc, drip-drop, we turn and turn.

The heavens opened and the lands soared.

To reveal the Jagyeongnu in the blue pond.

O animal gods that tell time.

I'll release you with the moonlight marble.

Animal gods who tell time You are now free

To the fields, mountains, and homes...

Go back to wherever you came from!

Hyunjuli? What are you doing?

-What's wrong with her? -Well...

Focus!

I'm sorry.

Next!

She's weird.

Thinks she's a star?

Why'd they have to come?

-Mommy's here! -You're the best!

-What's with her? -Must be nervous.

This is so stupid!

It's so hot! Why isn't it coming off?

Sorry.

How rude! Who is that kid?

Wait! You dropped something!

I saw him go this way.

Where is this place?

It feels strange here.

The 'Lost in the Moonlight' Musical will soon begin!

What do I do now?

It's that kid!

Hey!

Wait!

That's weird.

Where'd he go again?

I should go back to stage.

What's happening!

A human child?

That's odd! Why are you here?

It doesn't matter.

Come out!

What's that?

Go away! Stay back!

Let me go!

Oh no!

Don't worry! They're just shadows.

Hold tight!

Why hurt a human child?

I called for the rat, but she came.

Saying the rat disguised?

What?

If you keep interrupting, I'll have to attack!

I warned you!

Think you can fight me with a mere flute?

I'll get rid of you first!

Your job is to put the rat back!

Why you!

There's no time for this!

Enough!

This must be a dream.

When I count to 10, I'll wake up.

One, two, three...

Get away!

This can't be real!

I should've stayed still.

Take that!

There's no time!

Come on!

That's why I'm taking her!

No, you won't!

Stop interrupting me!

I can't hold on!

Young-no! Take the girl!

What is this place?

Stop the rat.

Don't let it escape again!

-Stop the rat! -What happening!

Help me!

Don't let it get away!

Catch the rat now!

I didn't get a role yet.

The rest will be...

We're one of the 12 gods!

HYUN Ju-ri! Hurry up!

Do trees have lines too?

Those without lines can wait there.

What role did you get?

What's that?

It fell from the sky, so it must be a bird.

There's no bird that big in this world!

Let's go up close and check.

No way!

Chicken!

I almost got crushed to death.

What?

Why you!

Go away!

Silly mushrooms! I'll eat you for dinner!

I still got it!

Thanks to you I got out, but I must get going.

Take care.

Help me.

What?

Get me out.

Hey!

Oh my.

Monster! Get away from me!

I'm no monster!

Look at me. I'm a cute squirrel!

-Squirrels don't talk! -I'm no ordinary squirrel!

Still, I don't trust you.

Fine! Then don't!

You asked for help, not me.

I'm off!

Wait! Don't go!

Stop following me.

I'm not! I'm just going this way.

-You're silly! -So are you!

Hey!

Sly squirrel! You're going fast on purpose!

No! I'm always fast!

What is it?

Look over there!

Wait! Someone's here.

You must be lost.

Poor dear. It's scary here at night.

I can help you. Will you come with me?

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Me too!

Can I take her too?

Who are you?

Well, I'm...

You should change first.

Change clothes?

But...

Take our dear guests to my Blossom Garden.

Look! Over there!

Wagon! Wagon! Wagon!

Wagon! Wagon! Wagon!

Where is this taking us?

Is it okay to trust that lady?

Always so suspicious!

No pretty people are bad.

So are you a good or bad person?

-Cut it out. -Okay.

It's beautiful!

Are they birds or fish?

If you touch it, it'll pop.

Really?

It's cold!

It's water?

So sorry.

What's that? Are they butterflies?

Wagon! Wagon! Wagon!

So many strange plant pots...

This place is creepy.

Totally not my style.

They look like live animals.

What the!

What are you?

Stay back!

Don't come! I might step on you!

Stay back!

-Isn't this place creepy? -It's awesome!

Warm sunlight and flowers!

I'm so glad to be out!

Clothes! Let's change

Clothes! Let's change

We'll make you pretty clothes

Pretty clothes like an angel

Clothes! Let's change

Clothes! Let's change

Come out, scissors!

Thimbles to work!

Blue, pink strings and needles

Soldering irons

We are the seven pink maids

Clothes! Let's change

Clothes! Let's change

Wait!

We'll make you pretty clothes

Pretty clothes like an angel

What a change! You look pretty dressed like that!

You look pretty good yourself!

Well, I was born handsome.

Wait!

My clothes!

There's something important inside.

What happened?

Where'd everybody go?

Excuse me. Have you seen my clothes?

Where'd it go?

What are you looking for?

It's like a nametag.

It looked important.

Don't worry. There's no need for it anymore.

How do you know?

Well...

Do you know about the tag?

How would I know?

It's just a thought!

If it was important, the owner would look for it.

But no one is looking for it.

Then, it must not be very important.

You think?

Of course!

So it's okay that I lost it?

I'm hungry from running around.

-Let's go find something to eat. -Okay.

That was close.

It's good that my nametag is gone.

Let's serve delicious food

Unlike any meal in the world

Seasoned with flowers and grass

A meal that only exists here

Yummy!

Do you like the food?

You're the lady from the carriage.

I'm Madam Blossom.

Thank you for rescuing us.

-I'm HYUN Ju-ri. -I'm Da-ram!

You two are very lucky.

Soon, there will be eternal spring here.

Eternal spring?

That's right.

The flowers will bloom all year.

How about living here with me?

If you stay, I would be delighted.

Just Da-ram?

Yes, I'll stay!

No one's said that to me before.

I'll do anything to live in a beautiful place like this!

Thank you for saying that.

You'll be a big help around here.

OKRYU MEDICINAL RIVER OF MOONLIGHT PALACE

-A human? -Yes, a young girl.

Can you scratch my back? It's itchy!

Right here?

I can't stand the itchiness!

The Jagyeongnu stopped!

Soon, the clock will strike 12 o'clock!

If the rat isn't put back before, time will stop!

The rat will be back.

You go and save the girl.

I never slept comfortably since humans prevailed!

Foolish humans are digging up land again!

How can we breathe like this?

Okryu River is not helping. It's still itchy!

Should we get rid of humans?

Calm down! Are you out of your mind?

Then what about these sores!

I'm so itchy!

Happy?

Of course!

I don't have to do the same thing everyday.

There's no one to force me to work.

And she says I'm a special squirrel!

It's like a dream come true!

Ju-ri? Why don't you stay too?

Go back home later.

I guess no one will even notice I'm gone from the show.

My role is so small, no one will know.

Oh!

It's cold.

Come here!

It's gone.

Is this all yours?

That man!

You couldn't do your job right and brought in a human girl?

I'm sorry, ma'am.

But the nametag is in my hands.

The foolish rat won't be going back to the clock.

Soon, time will stand still.

What?

Then, what about the girl?

Humans are useless beings.

She'll just be a new tree to my collection.

It's time to awaken the Juniper tree!

Da-ram!

Wake up! We have to get out of here!

Why? I like it here.

If we stay any longer, we'll die!

We'll never go home!

What did you hear?

Being suspicious again?

I saw and heard everything.

-She had no plans to help... -What did you see?

And what did you hear?

Well, I...

I took you in when you were lost.

But you lie to frame me?

Humans cannot be trusted!

I'm not lying!

To stop time, you took the nametag I had!

Guards!

Lock her up at once!

Make your choice.

If you want to go with her, you can.

Da-ram...

Take her away!

No! Let me go!

Let go!

I must escape from here! Now!

A door!

Oh no!

Ma'am? Are you in there?

Ma'am?

What is it?

Could you please forgive HYUN Ju-ri?

She must've heard wrong.

She's been through a lot, but she's a good girl.

She's suspicious of things, but she is not a bad girl.

-It's a misunderstanding. -It's not!

What she heard and saw is all true.

What?

Thought you could hide your identity?

Think it was a coincidence that we met?

Foolish rat!

Without your nametag, you can't go back to the Jagyeongnu.

If you don't go back, time will stop...

and Baek-ak and Mok-myuk will lose their reign here.

Meanwhile, I'll get rid of this filthy world!

And replace it with my beautiful garden.

You'll live with me here forever!

Thanks for rescuing me.

You're welcome!

Hold tight! We'll go higher to lose them!

I hope Da-ram's okay.

Giddy up!

Stop!

Oh Juniper tree that stood here for 1000 years!

Now, awake!

It's time to get revenge!

Who dares wake me?

Here?

The monster had me here! Why're we back?

It's where the human world and moonlight world meet.

If you go into the painting, you can go back through the clock.

Really? I can go home?

Oh Irworobongdo!

With the Sun, Moon, and Five Peaks...

The everflowing waves and pine trees!

And the water that flows against time!

Please return this lost child back to her place.

Open up!

Let me in, please!

Please!

Kyusu!

Let's go meet him.

Kyusu?

Yes.

He's the wisdom god that made the clock.

He'll know how to send you back.

Let's go!

Okay.

Young-no!

What's that sound?

Let's hurry!

Let's go to Juhapnu!

It's a maze of living bookshelves.

Kyusu made the maze.

He's been living here since.

-Wait up! -No humans have been here.

Must be here somewhere...

Hurry!

Hold tight.

You could get sucked into the books here.

Okay.

Everything is alive!

-Focus! It's dangerous! -Sorry.

Where is this place?

Watch out!

Why did you awaken me from my sleep of 1000 years?

Because it is time.

What do you mean?

Take back the stolen moutains from the mountain gods.

Stolen mountains?

The mountain gods did it?

Yes, sir.

Baek-ak and Mok-myuk confined you and gave the world to humans.

Wretched fools!

They confined me and entrusted humans with the world?

I'll destroy them and establish my kingdom of trees!

-Can you swim? -Yes.

We're doomed!

What's happening?

It stopped!

Let's get out now!

I can't!

Hold on!

Sorry! I didn't know.

Hide behind me now!

You fool!

HYUN Ju-ri!

Flowers?

What's that?

Won! Over here!

No! Stay on it!

That scroll will take you to the turtle!

Won...

Get on the turtle's back. It will take you to Kyusu!

Stay alert!

You're on your own. Okay?

Okay.

Scroll! Hurry and take me to the turtle!

Help!

The lost painting is back!

But who are you?

Me?

Are you the wisdom god, Kyusu?

-Go slowly up the stairs. -Okay!

Thank you, sir.

Where can I go to meet Kyusu?

Wait!

Is it here?

Who are you?

I'm HYUN Ju-ri. I came to meet Sir Kyusu.

Come closer.

How?

I'm Kyusu.

What is a human girl doing here?

I can't go home ‘cuz the Jagyeongnu is shut.

How can it be opened again?

Watch.

Oh no! This is terrible.

The key to turning time is gone.

The key?

Without it, a new day will never come.

Then it would break the balance of all things.

This world and yours will be covered in darkness.

I don't believe this!

Brother trees all held captive?

Did Madam Blossom do it?

Fine.

Destroy her garden first!

Awake!

Brother trees! Awake and destroy!

Destroy everything the humans made!

Attack!

Where can I find the key, sir?

I gave it to the rat, the first of the 12 gods.

But he ran away from the Jagyeongnu.

A runaway rat god?

No!

Don't worry. There's no need for it anymore.

How do you know?

But the nametag is in my hands.

The foolish rat won't be going back to the clock.

No way!

What?

What is going on?

Da-ram is the rat god!

Help me!

Somebody save me!

Sir Kyusu?

If the rat returns to the Jagyeongnu, can I go back home too?

Yes, but only if it is not too late.

I know where Da-ram is.

I'll send him back!

Think you can do it?

Yes.

But I'm curious.

Why did Da-ram, I mean...

Why did the rat god leave the Jagyeongnu?

Well...

He always complained.

I should never have given him, the first spot.

It is all my fault.

It's because no one told him how important his role is.

If someone did, even if it is a routine job...

he would've done it gladly.

You know how he feels better than the one who made him.

I learned a pointer from you.

Help me!

Brother! It's too noisy to sleep!

You're right. What's happening?

Sir! It's terrible!

The Juniper tree has awakened!

How can that be?

Madam Blossom must be behind it!

I told you she was a suspicious woman!

You said she was a beauty and liked her.

Well, you entrusted her with the palace!

Wait.

We don't have time for this.

-Sneaky beauty. -She tricked us!

-Then the Juniper will avenge us? -Yes.

A step back to advance 2 steps!

DISCRETION IS THE BETTER PART OF VALOR

Let's retreat to save ourselves!

Let's go. Hurry up.

-Wait! -This is expensive!

Honey! Let's take Ju-ri and go.

-Call her. -Okay.

It's out of control. I must get out!

No!

You're safe.

I was worried about you.

Everything started to fall apart.

The Juniper is controlling them.

Trees did not stay in one place in the past.

They used to walk and attack whatever they came across.

The mountain gods confined the Juniper.

Then all trees became stuck.

Attack!

Destroy!

The mountain gods ran away!

Let's go to Blossom Garden!

Attack! Destroy!

Let's go back to Blossom Garden.

But why?

Madam Blossom started all this!

But Da-ram is the key to restarting the Jagyeongnu.

We must save him from Madam Blossom!

Da-ram?

We can't just run away like this.

Then what?

We should confine the Juniper again!

It'd be harder this time. Don't you remember?

The chaotic times when the trees roamed free?

That's why we put a spell on the Juniper.

Though humans made us sick, we must trust them with the world!

You're a good fellow.

The blossom tree got so big!

They've all become monsters!

It's ‘cuz of the Juniper.

They won't listen to anyone now.

The Juniper will destroy the mountain gods!

Then we will seize Moonlight Palace!

Consume anyone in our way!

Fools! Beaten by plants?

Crush'em like this!

Not again!

They're no longer rocks! Crush'em all!

If all the trees come to life...

Moonlight Palace will be lost!

We must do something.

If we don't save Da-ram, there's nowhere to run to!

Ju-ri! Come back!

Hey! Masked fools!

Try catching me first.

They consume and get bigger?

They're more dangerous.

Won...

Fool! How dare you!

I'm a tree. No one sees me.

Having no presence can come in handy.

I'll get you!

You consumed my men!

You're mine now!

Young-no! Let's go!

Catch ‘em!

Da-ram?

Da-ram!

Da-ram!

HYUN Ju-ri?

You're alright?

You escaped from Madam Blossom!

Hold on!

Run away. I'm hopeless.

What do you mean?

No need to rescue me.

I did something terrible.

I know.

You're the rat god that turns time.

I ruined everything. It's all my fault.

No, it's not!

You can fix this. I'll save you!

I'll rescue you!

HYUN Ju-ri!

Da-ram!

Da-ram...

I hated holding the nametag and just standing there everyday.

I wanted to play the drums or ring bells like others.

But no one gave me the chance to do them.

So I ran away.

I thought I'd be happy anywhere else but there.

I know exactly how you feel.

But the Jagyeongnu worked because of you.

Really?

Of course!

Without you, a new day cannot come.

But I can't go back without the nametag.

-We can get it back from Madam... -Silly child!

How dare you come back here!

Give it to me!

Stay back!

What's this?

Get away!

What in the world!

-Won! -Run!

Okay!

Catch them now!

Giddy up!

No!

My garden!

What happened?

We deserve to die!

Do something!

Stupid fools!

-Run! -Where's Young-no?

Stop!

-Wretched fools! -This way!

Those fools!

Ruler of time!

Bring me the keeper of the nametag!

Da-ram! No!

Oh no!

HYUN Ju-ri!

No!

No!

Why are they here?

Brother trees! Let's go!

Oh no!

Fools!

I'll destroy everything!

No!

Guards! Take'em away now!

Let's go!

We gotta run!

Brother trees! Let's rule the world again!

I bring you back to life, and you destroy my garden?

Stupid tree!

You should do as you're told!

Attack the mountain gods not Blossom Garden!

Don't touch my trees!

Stop at once!

Wretched fool! I'll get you!

No!

Not that tree!

Please...

Will doing this confine the Juniper again?

Brother! Your face!

You said to try all we can.

Oh no...

I can't hold on any longer!

Mok-myuk!

Honey?

Honey!

Over here!

Where's Ju-ri? I can't find her!

We must get out now!

There's nowhere to run.

Madam Blossom broke the spell.

It's all over.

What are you saying?

Focus!

You're the keeper of time!

I threw away the nametag. I'm nothing now.

Right! The nametag!

No!

Madam!

Don't give up!

No!

Get up! There's no time!

We gotta get out now!

We can't leave Madam Blossom here.

Watch out!

At this rate, everyone will die.

Please give Da-ram the nametag?

It's too late. There's nothing you can do!

Please just give us a chance!

Can't you let us try to do it just once?

Please Madam!

Madam! Wake up!

Leave me!

Think of all the things you want to protect.

Don't you want to see flowers again?

Let's get out of here together.

-I am done for... -Mok-myuk!

Are you okay, brother?

Mok-myuk! No!

Hang in there!

Brother...

I guess this is goodbye.

Is this the highest point?

Yes.

Can you really go alone?

Yes.

I started this. I have to end it.

It's only right.

Please put everything back the way it was.

I will go back.

-You're back. -We waited so long.

I was a good squirrel, right?

Yes.

The most special squirrel ever!

Remember me when the new day dawns.

I will!

Da-ram...

Mok-myuk! A new day is dawning!

There's still time for humans.

A new day dawning... I never realized how great it is.

What happened to Madam Blossom?

Madam Blossom?

She's busy paying for her sins.

Well, it's work she likes to do.

She has to take care of all the gardens in this world.

Look there!

Shall we go back to our places?

Let's go!

Those mountains have been

I think finding your fitted role is really cool!

There's a fitted role just for you too.

Really?

JAGYEONGNU RESTORED AND SET TO BE SHOWN TO PUBLIC

Tic-toc...

Is this right?

Tic-toc, drip-drop

5 minutes left!

12 animal gods! Get ready!

Yes!

Great!

Let's show the best tree act ever!

Drip-drop, the water falls

Ringing throughout the empty pot

We are the keepers of time

The 12 animal gods

Drip-drop, we turn all day

Drip-drop, we turn and turn

Tic-toc, drip-drop, we turn and turn

The heavens opened and the lands soared

To reveal the Jagyeongnu in the blue pond

Keepers of time, O animal gods

I'll release you with the moonlight marble

Animal gods who tell time You are now free

To the fields, mountains, and homes...

Go back to wherever you came from!
