[GOBLIN: THE LONELY AND GREAT GOD]

Wait!

I'm not finished talking...

Did you just follow me through that door?

But, um, what's with this place?

What happened here exactly? Where is this place?

Canada.

Canada, huh?

The country with the maple leaf?

That place?

Are we really abroad?

[EPISODE 2]

Wow.

You have this kind of power too?

And you do too, it seems.

Who are you, really?

If this is really Canada and you have this kind of power

then I've made up my mind.

- What are you talking about? - I've made up my mind!

- So, about what, exactly? - I'll marry you, Mister.

Because no matter how much I think about it, I think you must be a goblin.

I love you!

Oh, look at you, acting as if that's the first time you've heard that.

- S-stop it. - Ooh!

Look at you, not denying it!

All right, then. Let's go that way.

And let's think of this as our honeymoon.

Hey. Hey!

I seem like a total natural, right? I blend right in, right?

I don't look like someone who's gone abroad for the first time, right?

Wow! Wow!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas.

Um, could you take a photo of me, please?

I want a tangible memory of having been in a place like this.

Look here. If you press this, you'll hear a shutter sound...

I know.

Wow.

Then count to three before taking the photo, please!

No.

Come on, are you serious? Where are you going?

Wait up!

Wow, fall foliage sure is beautiful.

Is this a red carpet just for me?

You're honored that I'm hanging out with you, right?

What a relief.

I thought you'd make a sassy comment about what I just said.

What do those signs mean?

It means that there are fairies nearby.

Here? Wow! There are fairies here?

How cool! How romantic!

You must be happy, Mister.

Why would I be?

You met a fairy right here in this area where they're supposed to appear.

Tinker Bell.

Man, I'm a bit upset that I've been caught, though.

How did you know that I'd appear here?

I'm sure that people made that sign for people to make romantic memories!

Oh yeah. What's the name of this neighborhood?

Quebec.

Man, even the name of this place is cool.

But did you know? If you catch a falling leaf...

Did you... just catch that? Drop it!

Why do I have to do that?

If you catch a falling leaf

you and the person who was walking with you will fall in love.

Be honest with me. You made that up just now, didn't you?

No, I didn't.

If you catch a falling cherry blossom petal, your first love will go well.

It's kind of similar.

I thought you said that you loved me.

- Are you a goblin, Mister? - No.

Exactly! So hand it over!

Why were you trying to catch one, then?

I was imagining that I was walking with that hunk over there.

"That hunk"?

I'm going closer to that handsome hunk so that it'll be more effective!

He's a Canadian ghost! A Canadian ghost!

Man, that was scary. My heart is racing because my eyes met a ghost's.

Didn't you say that you see ghosts often? Why are you so scared?

He was talking to me in English!

It was even scarier than usual because he was speaking English to me!

Hey, Mister!

Isn't this a hotel?

I mean, I know we're abroad and all

but bringing a high schooler to a place like this is a bit shady!

And you kept on going like, "it's this way," too.

Didn't you say that you'd marry me?

Are you a goblin, Mister?

No! Anyway, rest here.

Oh!

Where are you going?

- I have some business to take care of. - What business?

Can't I come with you?

It's my first time abroad, so I'm pretty scared.

That didn't seem to deter you from running all over the place before.

Well, that was...

because you were by my side the whole time.

So I trusted you knew what you were doing.

Will it take long? Who are you meeting?

Oh... you're meeting a woman, aren't you?

Well, yeah, figures. You must have had a reason to come all the way to Canada.

I'm sure there was a reason why you insisted that I'm not the Goblin's Bride.

All right. Go on, then.

I don't have money, a passport, or anyone I know

so it makes me really anxious, but I'll wait here alone.

You understand what I'm trying to get at, right?

No.

What I mean is, can't you lend me just 10 bucks?

You could leave me behind whether it's intentional or not.

And if you do, I'll have to call the embassy or something...

If I leave you behind, just make a wish.

That'll be faster than contacting the embassy.

I asked for 10 bucks, not 100! You're really going to be like that?

Fine, don't give it to me! In fact, you can't, okay? Don't give it to me!

Don't you dare give me any money!

He really left.

Here's your change and your receipt.

Thank you.

These are the documents about that "special case" that you asked for.

And they want you to itemize all your expenses.

Sure.

But how do special cases come to be, anyway, sir?

I've only heard of them existing. I've never actually had one as a case.

It's basically due to a god's capriciousness.

Humans call "miracles" what we call a "special case."

Oh. Then was your case a miracle too?

No, it's a difficult case.

Her name isn't on the list of the living or the dead, so I don't know what to do.

That sounds like a real headache. How will you send her to the afterlife, then?

Exactly my point.

But you know, Senior, I heard you moved.

You're not going to have a housewarming party?

It's a full down-payment lease, so...

I have to move too. But I just can't scrape the money together to do it.

I think the landlord of my apartment has a sixth sense or something.

She said that she keeps seeing a god of death in her dreams!

It's driving me crazy!

This is why I told you again and again to be careful when choosing a place.

Well, I'd always wanted to live in a rooftop apartment, so...

But isn't it quite strange, sir?

We're gods of death! Why do we even need a place to live?

Or get sleepy when we don't sleep? Or get hungry when we don't eat?

I've been working night shifts lately, and I'm so tired!

Nowadays, I've been carrying this on me at all times.

Oh yeah.

There's a really pretty woman among the new recruits!

Have you seen her...

Where the hell do you think you're running off to after hitting someone?

What's with you?

Oh, I see. You've been drinking, right?

- Best of luck, sir. - You're done for.

Are you crazy, woman? I didn't drink!

Hey, you're fine, aren't you? What the hell are you bitching about?

I'm taking you to the police station! Let's go!

Let go, right now.

- Let go? - Yeah, let go! Let go!

- Go ahead and try to kill me! - Hey. I said let go.

Ha Kyung Won. Kim Mi Ryung.

DATE: December 3rd, 2016. TIME: 02:21.

CAUSE OF DEATH: Traffic accident.

That's you two, correct?

Please drink this. It'll make you forget everything about this life.

Must I really forget everything?

Including my hatred toward that person?

Listen here, lady!

We're both dead now, so what the hell are you complaining about?

It's for the best.

Letting you forget is the gods' way of having mercy on you.

But how come you're only giving it to this woman and not me?

You have to remember your sins.

And it's not the first time you've killed someone by doing this, either.

At first, you'll sorely come to regret that you couldn't have a sip of this tea.

Next time, you'll go crazy precisely because you didn't have this tea.

And then you'll truly come to realize that there's no turning back time.

And you'll realize...

that you're already in hell.

Your entire body will be weighed down by the burden of your sins.

And you'll regret your sins every second as your body writhes in pain.

But that pain will never subside.

Never.

I... I'm so sorry. Please, forgive me.

Well, I don't know. My higher-ups won't be happy with that.

I know someone else who remembers his life. His life is a living hell for him.

I'm sure that he pleaded for forgiveness many times too.

But it was of no use since he was already in hell.

My friend, with whom I left Goryeo.

I buried the young grandson of your grandson of your grandson here.

I once thought that this life of mine was a reward, in a way.

But in the end, it turned out that this so-called reward was my punishment.

Because I couldn't forget any of the deaths that I'd been forced to witness.

Have you been well?

And have the rest of you been doing well too?

I'm still alive like this...

and I haven't been able to rest in peace.

Found him.

I told you to stay there quietly.

Well, I got the quiet part down, seeing as you didn't even notice me.

Is this where you needed to take care of your business?

I'm finished here. I was just about to leave.

But your grave is the only one without an epitaph or name.

Have you always been forced to leave the places where you've lived like this?

How many times?

I haven't kept count.

Hello, I'm Ji Eun Tak.

I'm someone who'll become Mister's bride in about 200 years or so.

No, you're not.

I guess not, then.

But Mister, you're still as cool as ever, even 200 years from where you are.

I mean, you can be a bit rude at times, but you're shaping up to be a fine man

so don't sweat it too much.

Goodbye, now.

Let's go.

Did you live here for a long time?

I came here, left, and came back here again often enough

to see a cottage grow into that huge hotel.

This is the first place that I traveled to after leaving my hometown.

What a shame. You should've bought it back then when it was still a cottage.

Then that hotel would've been yours, Mister!

Wait a second. Is that hotel...

What's with that look in your eyes?

Would you like to have this?

Where did you get this? I thought you had no money.

Yes, so I stole it.

Hurry and have it.

You have to hurry and eat it so you can get rid of the evidence.

What?

You believed that, didn't you?

I guess I looked pitiful when I was staring at it out of fascination

because someone caught me staring and gave it to me.

But is that hotel really yours, Mister?

Aren't you late?

- For what? - School.

What time is it in Korea right now?

10:00 a.m.

Oh man, my homeroom teacher is going to kill me!

Should I just live here?

It's better to be an illegal immigrant than to be late to school, right?

Yeah, I'd much prefer that.

Ah, what a nice sleep.

It just feels like I woke up from a dream.

I never dreamed that I'd ever be going on a trip abroad.

But thanks to you, I was able to do even that.

Thank you for today.

I'll be going now, then.

I've woken up from my dream now, so I should get going to school.

Let me off the hook this once even if I've been a nuisance today.

It was just because I had so much fun.

What time is it now, Ji Eun Tak?

What time is it, huh?

I'm sorry.

How could you come to school during third period when you're a senior now?

Do you only come to school to eat lunch or something?

Or you just don't want to come to school anymore?

You're done with your standardized tests, so you feel like senior year is over?

You're good as accepted to a college now, huh?

You said that you don't even have aspirations.

I'm sorry.

I asked you why you were late.

I know you live a tough life with your aunt's family since you're an orphan

but you're not the only one going through a tough time.

Every damn person has his or her own struggles.

The second standardized test is coming up now.

Just because you have no plans of going to college

doesn't mean you can be a hindrance to your classmates.

I am planning to go to college, though.

Wow, what's with that look in your eyes?

Go, then! Who's stopping you?

You always talk to me like this, even if you're saying something good!

Wait.

Oh, hello, Ji Soo's mother!

Oh, yes, yes!

Oh, it's nothing.

Dear you, who was just caught in the rain:

what was the thing that became your umbrella?

A voice that answers when you call?

A memory of you two having shared the same view?

The moment when that person's pace was adjusted to fit yours?

Is there anyone that comes to mind?

That's right. It's that person.

Here's the first song I have for you today.

Are you busy?

Yep, I am.

Then come with me for a sec.

Hurry up and follow me. And don't ask any questions.

If this isn't about something important, you're dead meat.

I'm trying to confirm that for myself right now.

Whether or not this is a matter of life and death.

What is he talking about?

How did you come out of there?

Isn't it strange?

She did something that even a god of death can't do.

What? Who? Who did what, now?

Do it again.

- I'll be right behind you. - Oh geez!

- What are you doing? - What, huh?

You've stimulated my competitive side. But where are you going now?

Just nowhere. Go away!

Back away!

Go away!

You're the one who asked me to do this in the first place!

What is it? What are you saying that I can't do?

- Mr. New Tenant? - Oh my goodness.

Why are you outside, Mr. New Tenant? It's cold.

Um, what about my uncle?

- He's inside. - No, no, no.

To be honest, I'm here to see you, sir...

Stop right there.

Um, yes. Sure. You really hate touching, huh?

Well, it's nothing super important.

I was just wondering if you had any issues living here.

Like, it getting humid in the house all of the sudden.

Or it getting really bright all of the sudden.

I just really want your uncle to hurry up and leave already.

Right? To be honest, I'd like it if my uncle went abroad as soon as possible.

I have no idea why he's staying in Korea when he's such an incredible person.

You get that vibe from him, don't you?

- No. - So you don't? I see.

I'm saying this now because I think I'll be dropping by pretty often.

But, um, what should I call you, sir?

I feel like "Mr. New Tenant" doesn't have a friendly vibe to it.

How about "Uncle"?

That'll make us seem too familiar, huh?

I'll be frank with you, Uncle Tenant.

Please, save me just this once.

If an old guy comes by and asks you who you are

just tell him that you're here to hang out, please?

If he knows that I rented this place out to you, Uncle, he'll kill me.

So who is that old man, anyway?

My grandfather.

I'm on your side until the very end, Uncle at the End of the Hall!

For real!

Ugh. Ugh.

Ugh!

For real!

When I open this door, I'll be in Canada.

Canada.

Are you going to use the sink, Student?

No, go ahead.

Are you a senior in high school?

How did you know?

Kids with tired eyes and uniforms all tend to be high school seniors.

Oh... my eyes.

Where do you live?

Um, somewhere nearby.

Good. Here, take this and eat it.

It's spinach.

Don't feel bad. It's just something I got from a guy.

You got spinach?

Take that home and share it with your family, okay?

- I'm home. - Hey.

Where have you been when it's so late at night?

This is about the time that I usually get home from school.

Just keep talking back to me. See what happens.

Mom, I'm hungry.

Me too, you bastard.

Geez, they say that other people's kids hang out outside all the time.

Hurry up and make dinner! We've been waiting for you, idiot!

Sure, sure.

I dare you to talk back to me one more time.

Take that home and share it with your family, okay?

Mom, Mom! Look at this!

Looks like she's preparing to run away to a foreign country!

I looked it up and this is in Canada!

What? Hand that over.

Geez, I knew she'd do this.

So you're going to take that insurance money and run away overseas?

You're still going to say that you don't have a bank account? Huh?

Give it back. I was just going to keep it as a souvenir.

How is this a souvenir? Huh? How? Huh?

You've never been there, so how is this a souvenir?

Oh, good. I've caught you now. So this is how you repay my kindness?

Huh? Huh? Huh?

Give it back. It's mine.

Why, I ought to...

Looks like she's all giddy about the idea of running away

seeing as how she has that.

- Where's your bank account book? - Looks yummy.

- Where is it, you wench? - Ow!

Oh my gosh, it's blood! Blood!

Why would it be good when she made it?

As if.

Why are those two fighting now?

Ah, it's blood! Mom, tissues! I'm bleeding!

And just where are you running off to? Stop right there!

She touched me and followed me through the door, but can't see the blade.

Who is she, exactly?

I'm someone who'll become Mister's bride in about 200 years or so.

I love you!

Above all else, I'm really in a sticky situation if all of that is true.

Curiosity always bests decorum.

I'm so curious. I'll have to go and ask!

Oh.

Hey, how long has it been since I last saw you that you summoned me again?

And so late at night too!

I had a super important thing to take care of!

What are you going to do about it?

I didn't summon you, though.

Yeah, you did!

No, I didn't. And I'm being honest this time.

Did you think about me just now or not?

Well... that is...

See? I'm right, aren't I? You did think about me.

It's because you keep thinking about me that I keep being summoned

even though I'm so, so busy! Ugh, how exhausting!

So I can summon you even if I'm merely thinking about you?

Well, I'm not too sure, but I'm sensitive to these things, so let's be careful.

Oh. I'm sorry.

What exactly were you thinking about when you were thinking of me?

Well...

I was just thinking about how pretty Canada was.

"I think I might be happy if I lived there. I was happy, if only for a bit."

You know, thoughts like that. And then when I thought about that

I started thinking about you, of course, Mister.

Your clothes look expensive and your watch looks even more expensive

and it looked like you owned that hotel, and you have the finest things in life.

So why do you look so sad?

That's how I came to start thinking about you.

Well, all right, then.

So why are you walking in circles so late at night? It's weird.

How did you know that?

I honestly wish I knew less.

I'm waiting for everyone at my aunt's place to fall asleep.

I don't know when they'll fall asleep, so I was going to get just a bit of sleep

and leave early in the morning.

They'll be asleep by midnight.

So you're just going to act like a weirdo here until midnight then?

I'm just walking because I haven't digested my dinner yet.

I know. You said that before too.

I guess you had a really nice, big dinner.

I just don't want you to get the wrong idea.

You've said that about three times now.

You can go.

You've said that three times now too.

Oh my gosh, I just witnessed Ji Eun Tak prostituting herself as a minor.

And the guy looks like he's around 30 years old too.

She's crazy!

Hurry up and snap a pic and send it as a group chat!

Hey, what the hell! Why did you open the door?

Mommy!

[LOOKING FOR PART-TIMERS]

Excuse me.

Welcome.

You want something to go?

Um, I'm not a customer. I just saw the sign outside saying that you're hiring.

Is the owner here?

She's right here.

Are you a high schooler?

Um, yes.

Oh, so you're the owner, ma'am.

You're so pretty that I thought you were a customer.

I know, right? Customers sure are nice.

I don't know how long it's been since I last saw one, though.

Um, please ask me anything you may be curious about.

I can fulfill all of your qualifications.

I've hit rock bottom, you see.

When I was nine years old...

my late mother was in an accident, so I grew up alone...

Ah, radish. Our radish is delicious.

Don't know how long it's been since a customer asked for it, though.

Want some?

Thank you.

Are you poor?

Well...

yes, pretty much.

What about school? You don't go?

I do. I'm a senior.

Must be nice to be young.

Pardon?

Do you have any plans for later?

No.

Then today will be our first day together.

- You can work here. - Really?

Wow, thank you!

I'll work really hard! I promise!

Sure, sure. Do as you please.

Yes, ma'am! I'll do my very best!

So this is the part-time job that Mister told me about, huh?

Yeah, the answer is chicken...

But I don't know how long it's been since a customer asked me for chicken.

[PART-TIMER: JI EUN TAK]

One, two. Mister, what are you doing?

Can you hear my thoughts?

What the... he's not coming even though I was thinking about him.

I finally got a part-time job, and my boss is a total beauty...

Wow, look at you, eating something totally expensive!

And yet you won't give me any money or any help.

How about we exchange numbers and call each other? You know, like normal people?

I'm fine with things as they are, though.

Well, I'm not.

Have you no consideration for how I feel?

Well, you didn't come even when I was thinking about you.

Oh, but I intend to meet you after making plans, later down the line.

I love you.

Ah, the scent of steak.

Oh, I'm so hungry!

Damn it!

This outfit looks better, right?

What outfit?

Compare it to the other outfit that I had on. And be honest.

Wait... you changed clothes?

Geez. Okay, do this book and this outfit go well together, then?

Keep the lights on.

I want to be on guard no matter where I may be or what I'm doing.

For what?

Come on, man, concentrate!

Think of this as the outfit I'll wear when I leave this house.

- That'll make it easier. - You look great.

It's so great that it's almost blinding. It's the best!

So this outfit doesn't make the cut, huh?

Is this LP better or is this CD better?

I have everything from classical music to the latest k-pop hits.

All the kids nowadays listen to music as files, not on that stuff.

Hey, which painting is better? This one or this one?

Get out.

I have everything from Post-Modernism paintings to abstract art.

You sleep like this?

What? I like sleeping like this.

Don't do that.

How can you sleep like that?

Don't you need air?

Come on, man! Just let me sleep!

I'll destroy him.

What are you doing?

I have a lot of laundry to do.

Good luck with that!

A goblin's underwear is strong, and stretchy, and strong!

Quit it.

Oh, was this song about you? I had no idea at all.

Figures, though. It suits you well.

A goblin's underwear is dirty! It smells! And it's dirty!

I warned you.

What did you even do to your underwear, anyway?

It's not like that.

I mean, if there was even a song written about this...

I told you, it's not like that!

What did you do to your underwear that a song was written about this?

It must have been something...

quite manly.

I told you to stop it!

There is a huge downpour with thunder and lightning

in the Sungbukdong area of Seoul right now.

Many citizens have been inconvenienced by this.

Is everything okay, Uncle?

I mean, it's only raining in Sungbukdong! That makes no sense...

Wait. Um, Uncle.

Why do you look so... crumpled up?

- Duk Hwa. - Yeah, what is it?

Did something bad happen?

Before I tell you about that, there's something I must tell you first.

It's a secret regarding your family and about my tragic fate.

Don't be too surprised.

- To be honest, I'm... - A goblin?

Is this what you wanted to talk about?

Since when have you known about this?

When I was around eight years old.

I did have my doubts about you when I was around six years old, though.

You used to summon gold and show it off to me when you got drunk, remember?

You don't remember?

Wow, are you giving this to me?

Nope.

You're pissing me off!

So when you did that, I knew that you weren't a blood relative of mine.

And just look at you now.

You did this a couple of times too, so how could I not know?

Be careful! I worry that you let things slip sometimes like you do at home.

So you're saying that you've known that I'm a goblin, correct?

And since you were six years old, at that.

Yeah.

And yet you spoke informally like this to me since you were six?

Yeah.

More or less.

All of you were quite surprised by the sudden downpour, correct?

Officials have released a heavy rain warning.

There are also concerns that the roads will get slippery due to the water.

We'll go to Reporter Im In Soo now.

Many citizens have found themselves at a loss due to the sudden downpour.

The police have said that in order to minimize traffic troubles

they'll be preparing counteractive measures for safety.

It's raining.

How nice.

What's so great about it?

We won't have customers since it's raining.

We don't have customers even when it doesn't rain.

They're not coming anyway, so might as well enjoy the rain.

I don't have an umbrella, though.

Take one of mine. I always leave them here since I'm too lazy to take them.

And it'll be a hassle for me if you bring it back, so don't.

Really?

Looks like I just got an umbrella!

Is it your first time seeing one or something?

Thank you.

Oh, I need an umbrella for my life.

Aw man, these aren't too crunchy.

Shall I get you a new one?

It's fine. I'm used to it. I'm too lazy to get a new one.

Are you going somewhere?

That's my own business, Ms. Part-Timer.

You can just slack off and play while I'm gone.

Oh, I can't slack off because you're not here. I'm a mere part-timer.

I have to work harder while you're not here.

The boss won't know if you work harder when I'm gone.

Just laze around.

Wow, she's so cool!

Have a safe trip!

Huh?

Oh, I'm a triplet. The youngest one.

All right, let's take a look. What did you want to know?

Isn't that for you to figure out?

There's a problem that you can't seem to solve, yes?

Well, why else would I be here? I'm running a store, but it's doing poorly.

Oh my. You have no luck when it comes to having a husband or kids

And on top of that, you never seem to have a man for long and roam a lot.

Exactly. I have all the bad luck in the world and I'm old too.

I should do something to get rid of that, right?

What a wretched fate you have.

And you don't have a single blood relative either.

How did you know that?

Your life is like a boat that is traversing the seas with just one sail.

I'd like it if I were with a handsome man in that boat of mine, please.

Oh yes, I do see a man!

Watch out for a man with a hat. A pitch-black hat.

It'd be nice if that hat-wearing man were handsome.

Where are you going?

The dry cleaners. This is dry-cleaning only.

I've felt this way for a while, but it's a good thing you wear that hat.

You provide laughs for the deceased on their way to the next life, after all.

"Don't look for death because death will find you!"

That's what this item says, basically.

I have to wear this for the deceased to recognize me.

And humans can't see me with this on.

Oh, it's a relief that humans can't see you with that on.

It'd be super embarrassing if they could.

Have a safe trip.

Don't you have to iron that?

That's how they did it, like, eons ago!

Nowadays, just doing this is more than sufficient!

What's with you? Nobody laminates leaves nowadays.

The person who's getting this is a bit old-fashioned, so it's okay.

Who's it for? Did you get a boyfriend?

Hey!

What do you mean, boyfriend?

He just helped me get a part-time job, so I'm just grateful for that.

But what if he misunderstands your intentions after getting this

and thinks that you gave it to him because you like him?

He pretty much rejects my very existence, so he won't.

Mister. I have a gift for you...

Oh, my scarf. I left it behind.

So you really can see me.

You saw me 10 years ago, and you can see me now.

And you said the same thing that you did back then too.

What if my boss locked the door?

Oh man, I'm an idiot!

It's no use. I know you can see me.

And there's nobody to protect you now.

I know that you know.

It's strange. I've been looking for you for 10 years

but I managed to run into you here like this.

You shouldn't have looked for me then!

This is some stalker-level behavior! Did you know that?

I'll sue you!

My name's not even on your list anyway.

Your name is on the list of special cases, though.

It'll be a headache, though, since there has been no record of you for 19 years.

Then... what'll happen to me now?

Am I going to die?

Even though I just turned 19?

There are people who die when they're as young as 9 or 10 years old.

That's what death is.

But... just who are you with this time?

Close your eyes! You can't look him in the eye!

That man is a god of death!

You can't! You can't look him in the eye!

It's fine. We're acquaintances.

Looks like you're in the middle of work.

Yes, I am. But what are you doing?

I'm getting involved in a human's life.

Yes, exactly. It seems to me that you're making that kind of grave mistake.

19 years ago, this girl was supposed to have...

19 years ago, this girl was supposed to have...

Do I look like I want an explanation from you?

Didn't you learn that you should do as a goblin says when he's being serious?

Watch it. Otherwise I may want to get involved in your life too.

Let's run for now. We can think of what to do after that.

Let's go!

It's fine. Just stay here.

He won't be able to take you away.

He just said that he's been looking for me for 10 years now...

But still.

I don't care if he'd been looking for you for 100 years.

No god of death can take away a girl who wants to marry a goblin so freely.

And especially not before the goblin's very eyes.

Oh, then is she, by any chance...

Yes, that's right! I'm the almighty Goblin's Bride!

What are you going to do now, huh?

Are you still going to drag me away?

Judging from the mood, it seems like I've been made out to be the bad guy.

I have some urgent business over there.

Let's talk about this in depth later.

And I'll be seeing you again.

Running into you today by chance like I did today was fine by me.

But I'm fine with a pre-arranged meeting with you too.

Go ahead. You look like you have a lot to say.

See?

You are a goblin.

I knew it.

So why did you lie and tell me that you weren't a goblin?

Because, at first, I had no idea that I'd be seeing you again.

I didn't know that you'd be able to follow me through my door

when nobody else has.

What about after that?

I asked you if you were a goblin multiple times after that too!

I saw no need to correct my lie after that.

Because you never were and probably never will be the Goblin's Bride.

Then...

what am I?

Ghosts always try to talk to me because of the Goblin's Bride thing

and they always harass me more if I ever ignore them.

And they won't leave my side if I acknowledge them.

I'm alive, and yet the God of Death says that I shouldn't be alive.

So what am I, then?

I told you already. You're going to have to just put up with it.

I hardly think that this is something for you to be complaining to me about.

Wow, that's so not fair.

That's just so unfair!

You think I really wanted to just marry a goblin there and then when I met one?

Be honest with me. There must be a different reason why you lied.

Is it because you think that I'm ugly that you denied that you were a goblin?

Because I'm far different than the ideal woman you had in mind?

I'm right, aren't I?

- No, that's not it. - You're always saying that!

You said that you weren't a goblin, but you are one!

You're pretty.

I've been alive for more than 900 years.

I'm not looking for someone who is beautiful.

I'm looking for someone who can see a certain something about me.

And that's why you're not the Goblin's Bride. Because you didn't see it.

That's all there is to it.

And that's also what I meant when I said that you'd be of no use to me.

Wow, you being so matter-of-fact about it really hurts.

There's no need to feel hurt.

Rather, think of this as a blessing.

If you'd seen that certain thing about me...

you would've come to despise me.

Then you should've just denied being a goblin until the end.

Why are you telling me this now?

For the same reason why I lied to you about being a goblin.

So that you wouldn't summon me out of false hope.

I will soon be leaving this place.

Where are you going?

Forget it. Don't answer that.

I'm not curious at all.

Who said that I'd be your bride anyway?

Why would I at the ripe young age of 19? I'm not crazy.

I'll never summon you again, so live your life at ease.

I don't need you either.

I was just wondering what a goblin was like.

So will you finally die, then?

The rumors say that you'll die if your bride appears.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I'll be able to die.

She can't see the sword.

Well, it could just be that she can't see it yet.

Maybe you have to take off all your clothes or something.

She's still quite young, though.

Yeah, exactly. She's young. So don't go anywhere near her.

Why are you protecting her? You said she can't even see the blade.

Just congratulate me, since it looks like I'll be living for a bit longer!

Go somewhere else and live for a long time.

I can't live with a goblin that intrudes in my life.

Or you can just leave. That's easy enough, isn't it?

There's the door.

[INFORMATION ABOUT GOBLINS]

[THE GOBLIN THAT READ TO ME] [ACORN JELLY GOBLIN]

[THE TREASURE CHEST OF THE GOBLIN'S BRIDE]

Why is a grown girl like you reading these?

[THE GOBLIN'S PARADOX]

It's something like doing some digging on my boyfriend's past.

It's just like how some girls go through their boyfriends' social media.

You'll be doing this when you grow up too. Got it?

Your boyfriend is mentioned in fairy tales?

Is he a prince?

Yeah, exactly. Why couldn't he be a prince on a white horse

if he was going to be a fairy tale character?

I mean, come on. What is this?

This one is more fun. Read this one.

[COLORFULLY COLORED GOBLIN]

Thanks.

I asked you if you were a goblin multiple times after that too!

I saw no need to correct my lie after that.

Because you never were and probably never will be the Goblin's Bride.

I feel so pathetic.

I won't do it! I'm throwing this away.

Hey, Duk Hwa!

Oh, Uncle. You're home?

Come on. You told me that you used to smoke too, but quit.

That was a long time ago! 350 years ago, to be exact!

Wow.

My bad!

What's with him?

He's been like this for three hours now.

It's so humid that it's driving me crazy...

And what's with you, Uncle at the End of the Hall?

Why are you, um, lounging about like this? Just curious.

Nothing urgent or anything. Nope.

Uncle, you can't make it rain. Who's going to clean it up?

It's clear to me that he's obviously like this over a woman.

He looks like he finally had an actual conversation with a woman after 300 years

but ended up hurting her.

What are you talking about? Huh? Huh? Huh?

Looks like the couple's spat you had that day didn't end so well.

Did she say something like, "see you in four weeks to sign the divorce papers"?

Wait, whoa. You have a girlfriend now, Uncle? Is she pretty?

- She's 19. - Whoa, wow.

Is she pretty, though?

I wasn't being considerate of her. We both agreed to do this!

Stop spouting nonsense in front of a kid, God of Death!

Don't look down on a god of death's keen senses.

Mr. Goblin, who's thinking about a woman in front of a kid.

What?

What?

Well, I'm sorry it didn't work out, then.

But if you hurt her, can't you just be a man and apologize to her?

Why are you moping around here like this?

Duk Hwa.

You're saying this because you're young and naive, but...

- You're being loud. - No, I was being quiet, actually.

Well, I'm out.

Please be understanding, Uncle at the End of the Hall.

I'm sorry for having such an embarrassing uncle.

So just apologize already like a man! Okay?

Be manly, and be like, bam, ring! Bam, bag! Bam, credit card!

Where are you going?

To the supermarket. What about you?

The dry cleaners. This needs to be dry cleaned often.

Do you want to go ahead?

Keep up the good work.

I thought you said that you were going to the supermarket.

Is this a supermarket?

And you said you were going to the dry cleaners. This isn't a dry cleaners.

Is that why you followed me? And is that why she's gone?

She's not here? Did you kill her?

Hey, hey, whoa! That's quite a rude and problematic statement!

You careless goblin!

It's even ruder to walk into someone's house with your shoes on.

You idiotic god of death.

- What did you do with her? - You didn't kill her?

Did you tell her that she needed to move?

I came to tell her to move, but she went and moved on her own.

Do you think I won't be able to find her just because she moved?

Yep. Just like last time. You couldn't find her for 10 years.

To be honest, I don't think she'd even need to move to hide from you.

So? Where did she move to? You know, don't you?

Where did she go?

It's okay.

I only need a place to sleep anyway.

And it's not like that place was actually my home.

Excuse me.

She's not here.

She's not here, huh?

Hey.

You can see me, right?

Yes, I can see you! I can see you really clearly!

Let's talk.

Huh? Where did she go?

Hey.

You're being scary, you know. Why are you being like this all of the sudden?

You said that I was the Goblin's Bride before.

Why did you say that?

Oh, that?

I heard it from that granny who has a bit of an accent.

After getting a look at you, it's clear he spared you two because of her face.

Your mother had quite a nice face, after all.

Here, wait a second.

She fell down like this, but he brought her back really fast!

And there were cherry blossoms that blossomed in the middle of the winter!

It sure was fascinating, it was.

The goblin saved me and my mom?

Yeah! I can't be sure, but I'm sure you and your mother were fated to die then.

And right after that, the god of death came to that very spot!

But he left empty-handed.

So in the end, he ended up saving his own bride!

Wow, how romantic!

Oh, shush.

So what that Mister said was all true, then.

I had no right to hate him in the first place.

I would have never been born if it hadn't been for the goblin.

And I would've had no memory of living with my mom until I turned nine.

Did you get mad at him? At the goblin, I mean.

Like, really mad?

What am I supposed to do now?

Do you want to just take this chance and...

come with me?

Ow!

What do you mean? You have to marry the goblin, of course.

Get it together.

[PART-TIMER: JI EUN TAK]

Excuse me. Does a girl named Eun Tak work here...

Geez, you surprised me.

Welcome. Just sit wherever.

No, I'm not a customer.

I don't want to talk to you. Get the boss out here. Now.

- I'm in a rush here. - Go ahead, then. Quickly.

I'm the boss here.

Oh, you're the boss here, girl?

Okay, so I'm Euk Tak's aunt.

Whose permission did you get to employ someone else's precious niece?

It didn't seem as if you treasured her to me.

W-what, now?

Do you know the phrase "nary a person to depend on"?

That phrase suits her perfectly.

What are you saying? Nary? Mary?

Her name is Ji Eun Tak, though. Did she say that?

It's whatever. I didn't know the phrase either, so I looked it up online.

Hey, but why do you keep speaking informally to me?

Right? Exactly. I hate people who speak informally to me too.

You reap what you sow.

- What kind of psycho... - But you know, Ms. Eun Tak's aunt.

That precious niece of yours should be at school right about now.

So why are you here?

Well, I called the school, but there are tons of people there

so I came here instead. So please cooperate with me.

I mean, I'm only saying this because she ran away, and I'm worried for her.

Hey! Are you going to take responsibility if she goes down a bad path?

You won't even know I'm here, I promise. Don't mind me.

Hey, honey!

It's been a while, huh?

Well, I'm doing just okay.

There's this lady here who thinks I'm as nice as I am pretty, you see.

So aside from her pissing me off, I'm totally fine.

Why, that little...

Do you still go around beating people up, honey?

And you won't feel guilty about beating up a woman?

"Gender equality"?

Oh, you shouldn't be living like that, honey.

What? You're heading here now?

Okay, sure. The address here is...

All right, all right, I'm leaving! I'm leaving now, see?

I'm leaving! I'm leaving, okay?

Geez!

What are you saying? And who was that?

Your country accent needs a lot of work too!

I know. I knew it, but I wanted to try anyway.

You've been well, right? Well, bye now.

What a crazy woman!

Just wait until I catch this girl!

I'll totally...

Hey, no need to come to my house!

I was just, um, about to call you.

See? Just look.

The debtor is living a much better life than us, who lent her the money!

You think I came all the way to your house because I wanted to?

I told you, I'll pay you back as soon as I find her bank account book!

That girl ran away from home, so I'm having a tough time as it is!

And I'm having a tough time because you wouldn't pick up my phone calls.

I even brought my car, so let's go and enjoy a nice night view, shall we?

Well, lady?

If... if something happens to me, you people will never get that money!

I'm that... that girl's legal guardian!

Geez, you have quite a noisy mouth on you!

How many months have you been going on about that insurance money now?

Does it even exist?

I told you, it does!

That woman poured her money into child insurance and life insurance

as if she knew the day that she'd die, for eight whole years!

It's about 150 million won that she saved in there!

But my bank book keeps disappearing.

It keeps disappearing as if it has feet of its own!

It's seriously driving me crazy!

It's the truth, I swear. I'm sure that girl has it.

I'm sure of it!

What school did you say that she attended again?

Hey, lend me just 30,000 won. I need it. I'll pay you back next week.

You'd better answer me.

Excuse me, Student.

Where are you going, hmm?

Who are you?

How could you run away from home? It's so dangerous, you know.

Wait, what are you doing? Wait! What are you doing?

Your aunt is very worried! Hurry up and get in!

There's something that I'm curious about.

Paying for 20 years' worth of rent on this house in advance is a lot of money.

Where did you get all that cash?

People's families usually leave money on the funeral alter when they're grieving

so that their loved ones can pay for the ferry in the afterlife.

And I've been saving that money for 300 years now.

So how could I possibly give up on living in this house?

Wow, it's been a while since I've heard someone say "saving money."

Because I have tons of gold and tons of money too.

You sure you don't need pepper?

How is it that you never learn?

That plate is from Louis XV's era!

- Hey! - Keep still!

Put the fork down.

Put your knife down first.

I really don't know. I really don't have it!

My aunt has that bank account book!

Your aunt says that you have it, and you say that your aunt has it.

Then one of you must be lying.

Right?

Why, I ought to...

What are you doing? Do you really want to start something?

Geez.

Hey, Student. I have no patience.

Do you even know where this car is headed?

I'm sure you've seen what happens to people who go to places like this.

Where did you hide the bank account book, huh? Where?

I really don't know!

Go to my aunt's house and look for it.

Let me off! If you don't, I'll report you people!

Report me? No, I'm about to report you right now!

Hey, drive properly, you idiot!

- Hey. - What?

What is that?

[GOBLIN: THE LONELY AND GREAT GOD]

Mister, thank you for saving me.

And tell Mr. God of Death that I want to thank him too!

So, what exactly am I supposed to be seeing?

I have no idea where she is.

She won't summon me. So I can't find her.

I guess I thought about you for a moment.

Promise me something.

Promise you what?

That you'll leave her alone even after I'm gone.

This is my way of telling you to have a nice life.

I'm leaving tomorrow.
