How have you all been?

I'm on my way to Professor Jung's.

He invited me to dinner today.

Mr. Geum!

Are you going somewhere?

To the university. What about you?

Professor Jung invited me to dinner.

You should come too.

Don't go.

Is something wrong?

Are you sure it's Professor Jung...

you've been waiting for?

It might not be.

Gosh, it's hot in here.

What are you...

My gosh.

Goodness.

What on earth is she up to?

Isn't she wearing that to seduce him?

Of course she is!

Something might happen if we don't make a move.

We should let Ms. Fairy know.

Ms. Fairy, you won't believe this.

It's urgent. Come in already!

Mr. Geum, I should get to the house immediately.

The house? You mean your place?

No, yours.

So you came by to bring me seaweed soup?

Do you know what's most astonishing?

It's the fact that I made all of this.

I'll enjoy it, but...

some time later.

Why must you act strange on this day and at this specific time?

A very important guest is coming by today.

It's almost time, so please leave.

I'll enjoy the food you brought.

- What are you doing? - Please, just this once.

Are you kicking me out? Who's coming anyway?

Well...

You startled me!

Geum, why are you here?

Well...

It's a beautiful night.

(Episode 9)

Please dig in although there isn't any rice to go with it.

What is this? East meets West?

I'll enjoy it then.

It's quite good.

Darn it.

- Salty, isn't it? - Stop messing with me.

I followed the online recipe to a tee.

Did you taste it while cooking it?

Of course.

I think it's perfect.

It's quite good.

Ms. Fairy, lying will give you a stomachache.

You jerk.

This dish is delicious.

Of course it is. I made it myself.

The dressing... I mean the sauce.

I prepped all the ingredients that went in it.

It's very good.

Weren't you off to the lab?

I told him that I ran into you.

You said you had urgent business at the lab.

Geum, is something up?

Why don't we have some drinks?

Drinks? That's out of the blue.

Aren't you going to the lab?

Come to think of it, I don't have to go.

I can't give her alcohol on her first visit.

Besides, Ms. Seon might not be a drinker.

Is it all right with you?

Yes, I'm good.

Wait, that's your mom's.

We emptied what I bought the other day.

Let's just drink it.

But this is too strong.

Hold on.

You fill a glass and reflect the moon on the drink.

Light that moon on fire, and you get hwawol wine.

Mizar.

The hwawol wine you make is the best in all of the fairy realm.

Your love letter.

I'm sorry I read it.

You don't have the courage to give the letter,

so why do you always carry it with you?

I'm sure...

you know why.

What are you talking about?

You're just like me.

You carry your letter with you...

without being able to give it to the recipient.

Tell me if I'm wrong.

This is enough.

"In a hopeless dream,"

"I grew a flower that wouldn't bloom."

It's from the song...

by Shield Fairies who're popular in the fairy realm these days.

Growing a flower that won't bloom...

is such a foolish and sad thing to do.

Even if it won't bloom,

I'll still choose to grow it.

Didn't you give the same pot to Geum too?

What kind of patient did you counsel today?

Why did you come here?

You look cold in that dress.

When will you go back to Gyeryong?

Don't you think your dress is a bit too tight for you?

Why do you keep circling around Professor Jung?

Aren't you uncomfortable in that dress?

It's comfortable.

You're the one who's in an uncomfortable outfit.

You lose.

Gulp the drink down

You shouldn't keep asking about the same thing.

Was it wrong of me?

No, no.

The game is about asking random questions.

There's nothing wrong with asking about the same topic.

You just need to have the other fall for it.

Professor Lee, you lost, so concede and drink it up.

I didn't know you'd easily get swayed like this.

I never get swayed by any words.

What is he saying?

Gosh, this tastes amazing.

When did you learn how to make cocktails?

I'm telling you.

I'm capable of anything if I put my mind to it.

The man I know never used petty tricks.

He faced inconveniences because he was square and inflexible,

but he always put up with it.

Ms. Seon, I've been wanting to ask you this,

but who is the man you're looking for?

I know you're talking about that man right now.

That's right.

So tell me. Who is he?

My husband.

Your husband?

How can you not recognize your own husband?

Let's say all your words are right.

But you can't figure out whom your dear husband is?

That's even more ridiculous than the fact...

that you're a 699-year-old fairy.

How can you forget about the man you loved so much?

You shouldn't call that love.

(Late Joseon)

Fairy Seon, why are you crying?

I...

I can't remember his face.

What are you talking about?

Stop crying and tell me what this is about.

I vividly remembered his face until yesterday,

but it's gone from my head.

You said a fairy could lose their ability...

if they don't keep their place for a long time.

You married that man...

and lived in the mortal realm for decades.

Perhaps, the deities are upset.

I'm forgetting how to fly too.

Come on, Professor Lee. It happened 699 years ago.

So how can she remember?

She isn't a member of Mensa International like me.

The face of a husband isn't like math problems.

Why would you bring that up here?

Hey.

I think I'm getting punished.

I'm left with only heartaches...

and unable to remember his face.

I think differently.

It's worse of a pain...

to be forgotten by his dear wife than not to remember your husband.

Your husband must be the one getting punished.

You think you're a poet?

You suggested us to drink, so stop talking gibberish...

and drink.

Do you have soda?

I feel suffocated all of a sudden.

Drinking soda won't solve it.

You're a doctor. Don't tell me you had soda for indigestion all along.

Right, I applied doenjang on wounds...

and drank soda for indigestion.

I prescribed dongchimi soup...

for patients with a sour stomach too.

Your stuck-up behavior isn't helping at all.

Go buy some soda with Geum already.

Right now.

Your drinking habit is pretty bad.

Do you want anything, Ms. Fairy?

I'm good. Take care.

Okay.

You must be quite close with Professor Jung.

I'm sorry for cutting you off,

but I have a crush on him.

I get that you're a fairy...

and that you lived for 699 years.

But leave him alone.

He's someone I love like crazy.

You... What?

I was going to tell him today,

but it turned to a failure.

I'm still going to do it soon in the future.

I'm going to wear something more shocking...

that goes down to here.

You know the three seducing steps, leaning, kneading, and rubbing?

I'm going to take those steps to make him fall for me.

I know you can't.

Fairies can't do those kinds of stuff.

- What... - I'm done talking.

I see.

Let me give you a piece of advice then.

He used to like a butterfly-shaped hairstyle.

Oh, dear. Your hair is too short for that hairstyle.

One more thing. Why don't you just go naked...

instead of wearing such a revealing dress?

When I first met him at the waterfall,

I didn't have a single thread on my body. Completely naked.

When I approached him,

he staggered out of his mind.

That's enough.

Kim Geum writes erotic stories at late night

Kim Geum brags so much about his lotus flower

But now I have one for myself too

That's lame.

Who are you to judge my rap?

Whatever.

Why do you keep throwing a fit at me these days? It's scaring me.

- I never did that. - Is it because of Ms. Seon?

Are you going to invite her over to the house without any notice again?

What's wrong with it?

Tell me beforehand because it's uncomfortable.

It's late. We're going home.

Why did she tell us to go buy stuff then?

They went home because it's late.

Hey. They already left.

Don't.

Don't bang on the door.

Leave her alone.

Geum, I...

I like Ok Nam.

I had a feeling I should tell you.

- Professor. - I could be...

the person she's looking for.

Geum, so...

Don't like Ok Nam.

Are you sure it's Professor Jung...

you've been waiting for?

It might not be.

Husband. What took you so long to return?

He is my husband.

No. He is my husband.

No, he's mine.

No.

Stop it.

I waited for him for 699 years.

I won't lose him right in front of my eyes.

Even before I studied medicine...

at the age of 20, I freaking loved him from afar.

Now he's my husband.

Freak... What does that mean?

- Hey. - Darn it.

Wait.

Ms. Seon.

I'm sorry.

This man Jung Yi Hyun has fallen for the three steps...

that are leaning, kneading and rubbing.

What are you saying?

I could not withstand her physical approach.

I'm sorry for falling so easily.

Mom, what's wrong? Are you sick?

You slept in of all things.

Thank you.

I had the most terrible dream.

You're awfully pale.

Did something happen at Dad's yesterday?

Well...

Never mind.

Let's eat first. I tried to put something together.

You are all grown up.

You cooked at least 150,000 meals for me...

while I was reborn five times. I can do this much.

What? Do you have no appetite?

Shall I eat for you?

Yes. You do that.

Gosh. Did he sleep here again last night?

Did Ms. Fairy sleep well last night?

My goodness. Mister. Ma'am.

- Oh, dear. Call 911. - Okay.

Take this.

Hey.

Are you okay?

What?

- Hey. - What is it?

Finally. We're here.

We're here. Is this Yiwon University?

Yes.

- We're at Yiwon University. - Yiwon University?

Are you really okay?

We're okay.

We're all okay.

Good.

I feel so emotional right now.

We can finally see Fairy Seon.

What would we have done without Wizard Park's magic beans?

Why are you all crying on such a good morning?

The hard times are over now.

My hand. Will you please let go?

When did you get so strong?

Don't even graze by me now. You'll scratch me all over.

If you touch me once more, I will not accept it.

I feel so much better.

Germanium really is as effective as they say it is.

Why does it taste like this?

The brat. I told her to seduce him with tasty food.

Did she torture him with seaweed instead?

She didn't have a thread on her body?

I will make sure that he never ever...

buys her coffee again.

Hand brew to cold drip, I have it all.

Hey.

No. No.

It has passed 9am and he hasn't come by.

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

Open to page 399.

"The smallest unit of evolution."

He's wearing that tie again.

Is it just me or does it suit him the more he wears it?

- What? - What?

Hey, what if we wore that?

We'd be strangled with it.

Hardy-Weinberg's principle states that in the absence of...

Are you living as if you've forgotten?

If it's usable in a test...

You must complete your revenge.

Revenge, revenge.

Professor, are you okay?

I suddenly felt dizzy.

Do I need coffee?

I'll get you some.

No, we're in class. I apologize.

Let's continue.

Didn't we walk down here earlier?

Why do we keep walking in circles?

It would be so much easier if Master Gu could fly and look around.

You know, when we first met, I thought...

Master Gu would be a practical friend to have...

because of his wings and all.

- But look at us now. - Don't be so mean.

Thanks to me, we at least had pigeons as covers.

I'll say it since you brought it up.

Only two pigeons flew to us last night.

Two that wouldn't have come if not for the breadcrumbs.

Without a room to stay in and the assistance of pigeons,

I'll die of hypothermia in no time.

I'm sorry then.

I only just started to complain.

How can I continue if you already apologize?

Can't you be bothered now?

It's just that everything you're saying is right.

Stop arguing over who's better and who's worse.

Am I the only one who's starving right now?

Are you hungry?

My stomach's been growling so much that it hurts now.

Master Gu, you said you had friends everywhere in Seoul...

and that you knew all the great restaurants.

There's something I took from the boat.

Would you like to at least have that?

It's probably spoiled by now!

I'll still have it though.

Let's find someplace to sit.

Sure.

He must be into method acting now.

It's his way of making women buy him coffee and things.

It's odd, but let's keep it in mind.

Imagine putting your spoon through steamed rice.

It'll be as if the rice bathed at the Fairy Bathhouse.

White and shiny.

Now imagine yourself eating spoons of that rice.

You wash aged kimchi in water...

and roll a piece of raw yellowtail in it.

Once you put it inside your mouth...

The raw fish will be nice and chewy...

while the aged kimchi will be crunchy.

Imagine steamed pumpkin leaves.

Place a spoonful of the rice we just made...

and a dab of gochujang.

Then, soak the wrap in doenjang stew...

and take it to your mouth.

It'll probably burn the roof of your mouth.

What do you think?

Can't you taste it in your head?

Are you shooting a movie?

Aren't you actors?

I'm Um Gyeong Sul, an aspiring movie director.

I've only been filming documentaries,

but I'll soon shoot movies too.

Please call if you're interested in independent films.

I must get to class for now.

Please call me.

(Film Director Um Gyeong Sul)

Movies? Does he mean motion pictures?

Yes, I think so.

Should I try it then?

I doubt you'll be able to play any part.

That's absurd. The director seemed most intrigued by me.

It's why he gave me his card.

He was mostly interested in me.

What?

Do you remember the round glass he was holding?

The camera?

Yes, it was on me the entire time.

The director was talking about me.

You and your crazy talk again.

That round glass was bigger than the cow's eye from our neighborhood.

It could've been pointed at you or me,

and there's no way to know which one it was.

Master Gu, don't you look in mirrors?

How can someone you like be an actor?

Gosh.

I seriously suggest that you...

go to a stream and look at your reflection.

Between the two of us, I'm the better looking one.

Just because you're tall and lean...

doesn't suddenly make you handsome!

Are we here to be actors?

Why are you arguing over something ridiculous?

Imagining meals isn't working for me anymore.

If you're done eating, let's look for Fairy Seon.

How can we...

roam around a campus on just a few anchovies?

My legs are as good as done.

Enough with the nonsense and get up.

We barely have any anchovies left,

so let's find her before we run out.

Do you want to starve to death?

- Well... - Let go of me.

Seriously?

He must've been dumped.

It looks that way, right?

I feel bad for him.

He should've stuck to talking to the bugs.

I thought highly of Professor Lee, but this I can't take.

She made a fool out of us.

Us? When did you become Geum?

Now I'm the one upset.

The three of us are one unit.

Be the Three Musketeers...

with your other two friends.

Don't make me a part of your pack.

My mom would literally cry.

This is why I don't do relationships.

I'm taking this up with Professor Lee.

How can she do this to a person?

If that's what you'll do,

buy me spicy chicken noodles on your way back for me.

I'm not your errand boy, you know.

My mom would cry too if she saw this.

[VIU Ver] tvN E09 'Mama Fairy & the Woodcutter' -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Professor Lee, have you had lunch?

That's great. Why don't we grab it together?

I have something to say to you.

Mom, I see that business is slower than usual today.

Well, it's nice to have some peace and quiet.

Your face says otherwise.

Did Father come by today?

I haven't seen Mr. Kim around either.

Did you two argue yesterday?

- No. - Then call him.

Which one?

Mr. Kim doesn't have his cell,

so you should call Father.

Are you off to somewhere?

Me? To work on a movie.

How are things coming along?

As your mother, I should've shown more interest.

Don't worry. I know what I'm doing.

All right. Take care and have fun.

Sure.

What if the master appears again?

(Professor Jung Yi Hyun)

(Professor Lee Ham Suk)

All right.

(Kim Geum)

Hi, Geum.

Professor Jung is coming by, so I'll call back in an hour.

Sorry.

An hour?

Is she leaving her post again?

Is she taking long breaks now that I've paid her?

Darn it.

Please forgive me, Master of the Northern Star.

I'm going blinded by jealousy...

that I don't mind being shameless.

Open the door.

It doesn't matter to you even if it's not him.

But it matters to me,

so please...

Please let my husband go.

I came to see the professor too.

I'm waiting for her because she isn't here.

What should I do?

Well, I'll just leave.

Hey, I have scandalous news.

It's about Barista Granny who works at the cafe by the library.

Yes, that granny has a crush on Geum too.

This is a love triangle. How scandalous.

I'll be there soon, so start making ramyeon.

I'll tell you everything from A to Z.

I should've bought rice balls.

Did something happen?

Hey, I think I'm going weird again.

Things were good these days until now.

I slept well without nightmares.

Are you having insomnia again?

I saw an apparition during my lecture today.

Something attacked me...

and I couldn't move my body.

You saw an apparition?

But...

it didn't appear from somewhere.

It came out from the inside of me.

It felt familiar which made it even scarier.

This is...

bad, isn't it?

You're right.

You're sick.

But you can be treated. I'll make sure to protect you.

Are you okay?

I thought I was shot by a gun. That hurt so much.

Let me see.

- It looks fine. - There.

What's going on?

Goodness.

What's happening?

What? What's going on?

Darn it, stop.

Run. Let's go.

- Gosh, that stings. - What's wrong?

This place is weird. Let's get out of here.

Well... Okay.

About my friend, Man Sik,

it turned out he was in a love triangle.

What, a love triangle?

The man who visited our lab the other day?

What? Yes.

I thought he was single.

He actually wasn't.

Is that right?

One is slightly older than him,

and the other is way older than him.

Who would you choose if you were him?

I have to go to the department office.

All of a sudden?

What a perfect timing.

See you.

Barista Granny... Gosh, Geum is impressive.

You should be careful too.

You might fall for his unescapable charms too.

Are you kidding me?

There isn't anything special about his charms.

You're better than him.

Stop imagining.

It's just how I feel about Geum.

Well... Okay.

I'm sleepy. How about we have some coffee?

No, I won't be able to sleep at night then.

The coffee truck serves coffee that's helpful for sleeping too.

Come on. Let's go.

- You're here. - Hi.

I printed the documents which you asked for.

Thank you.

What a beautiful imagination of yours.

You make my heart flutter.

Every morning, I go to see you at the coffee truck,

and it makes my day.

Well...

I...

Ms. Fairy.

Mr. Kim.

You shouldn't take that.

What?

Don't you have papers in the lab?

That's not what I was going to do. I'm sorry.

He's sneaky unlike his looks.

Is it really necessary to come all the way here for lunch?

We need to finish our lunch.

I'm starving because it's way past lunchtime.

We could've gone back and picked up our sandwiches there.

What a waste.

No way. You saw the flying chestnut burrs.

But it's not windy anymore.

How nice. What was wrong with that place?

It was so weird.

This place is even weirder. Why is it so dark in here?

It's not dark at all. Just choose the menu.

You want some of mine?

- What? - It's the same as yours,

so get greedy.

It's not that, seriously.

Here. Eat. Have it all to yourself.

Yi Hyun.

Yi Hyun, you know...

- Ham Suk. - Yes?

I think you stepped on gingko nuts.

What?

I knew it. I almost got the wrong idea.

I wondered why you had a huge appetite when you had a stomachache.

Why are they stuck here?

It stinks. Stay away from me.

Why isn't anything working out?

Check the inside. I'm sure you have some there too.

Seriously.

We filmed a lot today.

I know. We just have to film like this for documentaries?

Some people prepare a script, but not me.

What's it about?

- You want to watch? - Yes.

Are you shooting a movie?

What's wrong?

Well... Who are they?

They were in a beggar makeover. Maybe they were shooting a movie.

Where did you meet them?

I think it was at the bench in front of the student building.

I need to go.

Jeong Soo, what's wrong? Did I make you upset?

- I forgot about my family business. - I'll walk you home.

No, it's okay.

Jeong Soo. Seon Jeong Soo.

Not Mokpo Station.

Not on the train tracks or even a shrimping boat.

I had no idea I'd end up dying at Yiwon University.

There are cafeterias everywhere,

but my conscience won't let me steal...

and my pride won't let me beg.

You know,

I think I'm gravely ill.

After this night is gone, will we see each other again alive?

I love you.

Don't!

You're both being stupid now.

Master Gu. Fairy Oh.

- Jeom Soon. - Jeom Soon.

- Jeom Soon. - Jeom Soon.

Jeom Soon.

I feel terribly bad that you went through...

all that because of me.

- No, no. - No, no.

This lot look so...

individual and I like that.

A young man asked me if I were an actor.

Fairy Seon, did you find your husband?

I believe so.

What do you believe so?

How can you believe so when he can't remember you?

You haven't found your winged dress.

The truth is, we came here out of concern...

because the coffee tree you planted started to wither.

Immortals shouldn't be away for too long.

It's just our fate.

Isn't all this the will of the sky?

Are guardian deities allowed to be so rude?

I'm from the Goryeo era and am quite old myself.

Do you want to lose your teeth on a cement floor?

Pardon?

No, no.

If you're done eating, let's go outside to make a house.

Open the door.

I'd be jealous if it's nicer than our place.

Excuse me?

Hey.

My goodness.

I was trying to select a hero.

What's this?

What's this?

When Fairy Seon's husband brought back firewood,

he left them side by side like this?

Is it uncomfortable?

Not at all.

I'll pretend I'm a piece of wood...

and lie on top of Master Gu.

Is something upsetting the guardian deity?

She just has a nasty temper.

She seemed to be quite powerful.

What an embarrassment.

How could I humiliate myself in front of those nobodies?

Cho Bong Dae.

Have you lost your touch?

I'm number two, second in line.

My gosh.

Why do I have so much work today?

I didn't see Ok Nam today.

Is she...

waiting for me?

(Professor Park Jun Seong)

Hello, Professor Park.

Professor Jung. Are you still at work?

- Yes. - Great.

The TV show I told you about.

I'm meeting the producer and writer later.

They're very interested in you, so...

I'm not interested in being on TV.

I won't be there.

Why not? What could be more important than this?

There's something much more important to me.

Hey!

Who's here so late?

It's not late. It's barely dusk.

Why are we all lying down when we aren't sleepy?

Didn't she come back to make us a house?

That Bong Dae woman.

I will go and check.

Mr. Geum. Why are you here?

Were you asleep already?

- No. - Is there a visitor?

Didn't we meet by the pagoda?

We did.

The mutant weasel?

Fairy Seon's husband?

No. This young man is Mr. Geum.

Hello. My name is Kim Geum.

When did you come to Seoul?

Okay, so should we say it was last night...

or early this morning?

Do you have a place to stay tonight?

What? Didn't you see us?

We were lying...

on top of each other and you woke us up.

- Isn't the room too small? - It's dreadful.

This Cho Bong Dae or Cho Bang Dae offered to make us a house,

but she ran off and now we must sleep in turns.

Do you want to stay with me?

It's okay. I can find them a place to stay.

The best you could do for us...

was to make us lie like pieces of firewood.

I want to stay with this young man.

Professor Jung lives there too. It will be uncomfortable.

You can go straight to the second floor like before.

My mother's there,

but if I ask her to sleep on the couch,

she'll do so without a problem.

But still, that's...

Let's stay with him just for one night...

and find another option tomorrow.

To be honest, I can't say I'm not afraid of getting whacked...

by Jeom Soon during the night.

Come with me then.

Okay.

What should I do?

It's okay. They're from my hometown.

If it bothers you that much,

I'll call Professor Jung on the way.

I'm sorry. I'll find them another place tomorrow.

I'd like to carry the bag for you.

- It's okay. - Where'd you cut your hair?

I'm not one to envy other people's hair but still.

Yours is pretty too.

I didn't get to drink coffee today.

I wonder if Ms. Seon is asleep.

That was kind of scary.

My gosh!

(Kim Geum)

Geum's phone?

Is Ms. Seon calling me then?

You must expiate.

Gosh, get a grip on yourself.

- Over here. - I see.

Why did you leave early yesterday?

Did something happen?

No, nothing happened.

Anyway, why didn't you come by for coffee today?

Did you wait for me?

I did.

What did you have for lunch?

The sausage Jeom Soon gave me...

and a rice ball with burdock.

She never forgets her sausages.

So what did you have for lunch?

I had spicy chicken noodles.

What kind of chicken is that? I only know of sumac chicken.

It's awfully spicy. We'll have it some other time.

That's nice.

The lotus flower...

blossomed.

So I've heard.

And it's pretty.

Ms. Seon!

(Mama Fairy and the Woodcutter)

I don't know why I'm being this way.

What is she doing?

- Ms. Seon! - How can you even think about...

taking her on an overnight trip?

We seem to be going in circles.

Has it begun again?

It's a flower of the fairy realm.

What can I do to have you by my side?

Why do I feel like I'm closer to her than Professor Jung seems to be?

Who are you?

Something must've happened on his way down.

Professor!

(Cast your votes!)

(Who do you think is more handsome?)

You know, I've been thinking about...

what you said earlier.

I can't seem to get it out of my head.

What's taking so long for you to say?

He said that my height...

and physique don't automatically make me handsome.

Why did you say that?

What? Have you been pondering on what we said earlier today?

I just don't get it.

I mean, think about it. When it comes to looks,

you're not in a position to say anything to me.

I'll say this while we're on the subject.

You don't exactly look like a human being anyway.

Instead, you resemble a frog.

A frog? Unbelievable.

That is truly unbelievable.

You look like a depressed camel,

but I didn't say anything for hundreds of years!

But you're repaying me by calling me a frog.

What? A depressed camel?

I don't know about anything else,

but I'm of higher standard when it comes to looks.

During my hunter days, I was one of the bravest!

I'm sorry to tell you this,

but my looks is what got me kicked out of the fairy realm.

What?

What? Is that your response?

Should we put it to a vote then?

Will you then come to your senses?

Shut it, the both of you.

At least look like that before boasting about your looks.

Ms. Seon!
