Original subtitles

That's why I want to say this.

I'm saying this because today is just about right.

I'm saying this because you are still shining.

I'm saying this because

you were that first love.

On another day that is just about right,

will you become a bride of this man from Goryeo?

I will.

I will be the bride of this lonely man.

I will be

the first and the last bride of this beautiful man.

I most definitely will be.

Mom.

I'm getting married.

I'll be happy.

I see you've met the Goblin.

And you're getting married.

Good for you.

Why am I tearing up?

Hey!

- Do you see us? - Yes.

How long has it been? How were you?

I'm so happy! You finally see us again.

You startled me.

Have you been doing okay?

We were so lonely.

Come with me.

I'll treat you better than the Goblin does.

Wait right here. I have a sack of salt somewhere to-

You still have the same fiery temper.

Congratulations...

- on getting married. - Congratulations.

Drink it.

It'll remove your memories from your life.

Thank you.

What kind of nonsense is this?

I won't share a table with my driver.

Or drink the same tea.

In here, everyone gets the same cup of tea.

What kind of logic is that? I'm upset as it is to be dead.

How could you treat me the same as the likes of a man

whose whole life isn't worth the watch on my wrist?

I will tell you again.

In here, everyone gets the same cup of tea.

Your watch has already stopped ticking.

Nothing you have with you

can pass that threshold.

Were you a powerful man in this life?

As soon as you go through that door, you'll realize that

the crimes you have committed with your eyes, your mouth,

your hands and feet,

and heart are much more powerful than anything you knew.

See how deep you'll be dragged down to the pit of doom.

Don't you want to go on a blind date?

I don't like chefs.

He isn't a chef.

This time, it's a client of mine.

He's rich, owns a company,

good-looking, and the crucial part is

he's young.

He likes older women.

I consult him about inheritance issues,

not anything shady. What do you think?

A blind date?

Oh no. These are new.

What just happened?

I shouldn't be waiting here.

Ji Eun-tak!

What should we listen to? What about a new singer?

Sure.

How can I help you?

I'm Producer Ji's boyfriend.

- What? - Her fiance, to be exact.

Shall we throw the wedding this weekend?

- What? - What?

Shall we get some lunch first? Let's get out of here.

SEOLLEONGTANG

Is someone joining us?

Deok-hwa. You should say hi.

I should.

What if he doesn't recognize me because I look so much older?

That's impossible.

Can I have some soup, please?

- Sure. - He's here.

An official-looking feast in front of a couple

sitting side-by-side.

- I know what's going on. - Yes.

We're engaged.

- What? - What?

Saturday or Sunday?

What's gotten into you today?

Lunchtime or dinnertime?

I prefer Sunday evening. Saturday's my night out.

What's this about?

Can't you tell? It's to stop you from going on blind dates.

With a handsome, rich guy,

who is even younger than you.

What are you talking about?

I'm the only one in Korea who fits that description.

Don't worry. You aren't my type.

Nice to meet you. I am Yoo Deok-hwa.

Hello, I heard a lot about you.

I am Ji Eun-tak.

He got promoted to manager.

Ji Eun-tak?

The Ji Eun-tak from that old letter?

The Ji Eun-tak who knows my tenant?

There's still a lot you don't know.

- Enjoy your soup. - Thanks, I will.

So,

do you know what my uncle is?

He's the Goblin. Doesn't everyone know one of those?

- Correct. - No way.

You know about my building and my uncle.

What's going on? Why am I the only one in the dark?

Let's eat.

Eat up and grow up.

You'll find out in due time.

Me too.

Don't you dare go on a blind date.

Why would I? I'll be a married woman soon.

She said, "married woman."

Where do you live?

I said you aren't my type.

Do you like your job?

My uncle's getting married.

That's great news.

It is. I want to get married before he does.

That's even greater news.

Isn't it? I'll have lots of kids

so that no one's lonely.

I could wish for nothing more.

But Deok-hwa.

You need a partner to get married.

I have lots of women.

That's the problem. You can't have lots of women.

Was there anyone who made your heart race when you thought of her?

Anyone you missed to the point of wanting to cry?

Was there anyone who made you think you'd be willing

to die for that person?

Not yet.

What about you? Don't you want to get married?

- I don't. - Why not?

I'm already married with three kids.

I married such a person.

No way. Did you really?

- Why didn't I know that? - I never told you.

- Why didn't you tell me? - You never asked.

You don't care much about

the people around you or how the world works yet.

That's why I'm waiting for you to ask questions.

Questions that an adult would ask.

About the world,

and about the joy and sorrows of those around you.

Thank you.

Give me a little more time.

I'll try my best to grow up.

You do that.

How could you blurt that out to everyone

without my permission?

Eyes on the road. A car's coming.

Watch out.

Are you afraid?

No. Watching you drive makes me think

you're all grown up. Stay in your lane.

- Keep your hands on the wheel. - I'm looking.

I know you are. I just find it fascinating, that's all.

I've never been in the passenger's seat.

- Turn left here. - Left?

Not right, left!

Seriously, stop yelling. Where are we going anyway?

Turn on the blinkers before you make a turn!

You look beautiful.

You look pretty dashing yourself.

I always do.

Let's get married traditionally with a bowl of water.

To keep it magical.

Okay.

Are you looking for a gift?

Yes, a wedding gift.

He has pretty wrists,

so I'll take this one.

I love all the roads we will walk together.

I love all the sceneries we will see together.

I love all the questions we will shyly ask each other

and all the answers to those questions.

I love you

in all those moments. From your bride.

After we listen to a song, we will come back with a story from a listener.

Cue.

What on earth is this?

It's so poorly written.

Was this written at night?

What is it? I like love letters.

I'm sure you do.

"To the one who thought

that oblivion would bring me peace of mind.

The moment our eyes met,

I knew that you too retained your memories."

Pick this story. It's my right as the producer.

I'll be back soon.

Eun-tak! Hey!

This is a live show!

"I pray that in our next life,

the wait will be short, and the meeting shall be long.

That we won't need an excuse to see each other.

And that we'll be entitled with our own dearest names.

So we could greet each other

when we accidentally run into each other."

With our love always being the solution.

I pray that we can meet like that.

I'm just happy that I saw your face.

At times, you may be Kim Woo-bin.

At times, you may be Wang Yeo.

Please live a long

and happy life.

Goodbye.

She sold the whole building? Didn't she just move?

No. She sold the building last week. You live on the rooftop, right?

You're my tenant now.

I heard you work for a radio station.

Yes.

I'm in a bit of a hurry right now. I'll see you later.

ROOFTOP UNIT JI EUN-TAK

Eun-tak.

I'm leaving.

Take care, and don't cry.

Never skip your meals.

You were all alone without a family in this world.

I hope I provided you a little bit of comfort.

Please take good care of my stubborn brother.

I hope you stay happy together.

Goodbye.

She remembered everything.

Ms. Sunny...

left.

She remembered everything.

She cherished that memory alone.

She took care of me when I didn't remember anything.

She longed for her brother who disappeared.

She must've been so lonely.

Why did she leave now?

It's because she can't forgive him.

She made the choice...

not to see him again in this life.

There's no bigger punishment

than that for the Grim Reaper.

I'm going to count to 50 and leave.

One.

Two.

Forty-seven.

Forty-eight.

Forty-nine...

One.

Two.

Three.

You will

not hear from me.

In this life,

we will never meet again.

Can I...

hug you just once?

Take care.

Goodbye.

Like that,

we parted in this life.

It was much later...

when I

heard from her.

I touched this vulgar thing just for you.

Why don't you try it?

The apples look like bunnies.

Sunny...

left.

She is

always

so good...

at leaving.

After what happened to you,

I didn't know what to do, so I kept it.

I meant to return it to you much sooner.

I'm sorry it's late.

It wasn't mine to begin with.

It was your resentment, sin, and longing.

I think you should keep it.

Can I keep it?

Yes.

If you eat this.

And thank you.

I heard you lit the candles

at the temple of ancestral tablets while I was gone for the past nine years.

I don't know if I had the rights to pay respects to them.

But I wanted to face my sins.

I wish someone could tell us,

"You've done enough.

You've done more than enough."

I'd like that.

I heard you wanted to see me.

Yes.

I want

to tell you a secret.

A secret?

You become a grim reaper if you commit a grave sin in your past life.

I wanted to tell you what your sin was.

The grave sin we committed

was taking our own lives.

Those who take their own lives

are born again as grim reapers.

They guide people's deaths

and live as a being that is not either alive nor dead.

What do you think is the reason for this?

Why do you think someone without a name

or any memories

needs a house

and food?

What do you think is the reason?

While looking for the answer to those questions,

I realized one day

that maybe it is what makes us

yearn for a name

and for the life

we had once abandoned.

Maybe this punishment ends

when we become desperate for life.

I know why you avoided me.

I assume

you met Park Joong-heon nine years ago.

That means you know

who you are and who I am.

That's why

I wanted to apologize.

I should not have chosen death

by borrowing your hands as I did.

I regret it.

Also,

I beg for your forgiveness.

So forget everything.

Forget and keep living.

Send off the deceased souls during their final moments.

Make penance for your sins like that.

I hope you will come

to forgive yourself as well.

What the Almighty wants of us

is probably to forgive ourselves and realize the earnestness of life.

Your dinner is ready.

Where are you going so late at night?

The soup will get cold. Eat.

Do you have a boyfriend?

I hope you don't end up being a single mom like your mom.

Why must you always...

How long are you staying?

I gave you enough memorial food.

You're a ghost. It isn't good to roam for too long.

How dare you talk to me like that?

Hey.

I can't just go like this. It's not fair.

If only I had those bank books. If only you hadn't stolen them,

I wouldn't have died on the streets!

What's wrong with you?

Must you do this even after you die?

You're talking back because you haven't been beaten in a while.

You little...

Hey, lady. Who do you think you're trying to hit?

She's someone I cherish dearly. Shall I break your wrist?

What's your problem? Who is this psycho?

"Psycho"?

You know what? You need to come with me.

Come with me. It's because I'm lonely.

I tend to get along well with evil women.

Let go. Let go of me!

- Do you know her? - Hey.

I think I've finally found my companion.

She'll be a good sparring partner for the lonely afterlife.

You're leaving?

It's time.

Thanks for everything.

Live happily ever after with the Goblin.

Come on. Let's go.

Hold on.

Aunt. Thank you for raising me.

In our next lifetime, let's meet on good terms.

In your dreams. Why would I meet you again?

Let go! Let go of me!

Let go.

Let go!

Hey.

You're still doing that alone. Where's the Goblin?

I don't know. He said something about drawing fresh water.

I'm the one who wanted to see you.

I have something for you.

Did you get

a card with my name on it?

No, it's not that.

I see. You scared me.

Are you worried that your name will come up?

Not really worried. I'm just curious

about how my fate has changed.

Your fate has so many variables.

Exactly.

The mark on my neck is gone and I pulled out the sword.

So I've been living without problems for the past nine years.

But it doesn't change the fact that I'm a missing soul.

I was almost never born.

I lost someone who I loved dearly.

Also,

the person before me is the Grim Reaper.

Above all else, every human dies at some point.

That's why life is even more beautiful.

That's why

the first thought I had once I got my memory back

was to live each day as if it were my last.

"If today is my last day,

this will be my final memory of the person I love.

So I'd better live each moment

to the fullest and love passionately."

That's what I told myself.

Your life is already beautiful. Don't forget that.

What did you want to give me?

Here.

Congratulations on your wedding, Goblin's bride.

Thank you.

Until death parts us,

every word that you say,

whatever it may be,

I will agree.

Until death parts us,

every word that you say,

whatever it may be,

I will agree.

- That looks good. - Does it?

Should we make more?

Champagne is best between seven and eight degrees Celsius.

Tenant Uncle.

I haven't had a single drink, but I feel drunk.

You can't get drunk already.

- Bottoms up. - You must be kidding me.

Are you okay?

- Your face looks pale. - I'm fine.

Okay. I brought it down to seven degrees Celsius.

Would you like a glass?

Yes, thank you...

- Oh, no. - Mr. Kim.

Seriously.

Can't you guys be more careful?

Both of you are too reckless and carefree.

What was that? Why do I feel like I've said this before?

Sing us a song.

Sing us a song.

No, I can't sing.

I can't sing.

Meeting you

Among all these people

Was the most

Luckiest moment for me

Meeting you

In this big world

All together, now.

Meeting you was happiness for me

Meeting you among all these people

I'm sleepy.

I love you.

This is our last song for today. I wish all of you happiness.

Okay, good job.

Good work.

Today's show was incredible.

The timing was perfect, and the song list was impressive.

Our bulletin board is receiving a lot of good feedback.

It's rare to have such a perfect show.

Stop flattering me.

I'm going to a meeting with a guest,

then I'll go straight home.

All right.

- Goodnight. - See you tomorrow.

KIM BO-RAM AGE 7

It seems like a daycare bus is going to get in an accident.

PARK YEONG-HUN AGE 45

This looks like the driver.

Now,

I really feel as if this line of work is a punishment.

I'll be back after this call.

Mister.

Sir, I just got a call from the head office.

They told us to discard the list we received today.

The children's fates have changed.

Really?

Why would it change, though?

Because of a death

that comes without a name card.

Can there be a death without a name card?

What do you mean?

A death that cannot be predicted.

GOBLIN

A sacrifice.

Where are you? It's a scary world out there.

Do you know what time it is?

It's 4 p.m. now, and I'm on my way to a meeting.

Hold on. Let me make a right turn first.

You have to turn your handle right, okay?

Come on.

Hello? Eun-tak.

Ji Eun-tak.

The daycare bus...

If I dodge, those kids...

What? I can't hear you. What did you say?

I must be crazy. What am I doing?

Now that I think about it,

it was such a perfect day.

When I woke up, I was in his arms.

Then, I made perfect fried eggs.

Today's live show was perfect, too.

I guess everything went perfectly

to bring me to this moment.

So that I won't be late.

Hello? Where are you?

Eun-tak, where are you?

I couldn't be late,

not even for a second.

This was my fate.

I love you.

Me too.

A human's sacrifice

is something the Almighty cannot predict.

It wasn't a part of his plan.

That is

because it's a momentary instinct

and a choice

solely made by that human.

It's a choice

only humans can make.

JI EUN-TAK, 29 YEARS OLD, CAR ACCIDENT

We received

a late

name card.

She gave a terribly sad answer

to a wicked question from the Almighty.

Missing Soul...

Move back, please.

Move back.

You were born on 1998,

July 23.

You are 29 years old.

Ji Eun-tak.

Can you...

confirm?

"What is wrong with me?"

I questioned myself,

but I was already doing it.

I was...

so scared.

This afternoon, a truck that was parked on the curve

had its brake come loose and rolled down,

taking the life of a woman in her 20s.

That car must've taken all the impact.

My goodness.

She must've been an angel.

I believe people like her are angels from above.

Had it not been for her,

a lot more people would have died.

Is this the place

you work at?

It's really nice.

Mister, there is something I'm curious about.

I heard

humans have four lives.

Which life was this for me?

Can't you tell me

since I'm deceased?

This was

your first.

Thank goodness.

I still have three more.

I'll go get the tea.

You two can talk.

Do you

remember what I said before?

The person left behind

has to live to the fullest.

You'll cry sometimes,

but you'll also laugh a lot

and live bravely.

That's the proper response to the love you were given.

How can it be like this?

How can you do this to me?

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Look at me.

Let me see your face.

Please?

Mister.

You forgot to grant

one of my three wishes.

Can you grant me that wish now?

Don't be heartbroken for too long.

I'll come see you again.

Wait for me

and don't make it rain too much.

It'll cause trouble for the people.

That's three wishes, not one.

How am I supposed to live without you?

I'll be gone for just a while.

I promise.

This time,

I'll come to you.

I promise...

to come looking for you.

In our next life, I will make sure to be born with a long life

and stay by your side for a long time.

I will beg the Almighty

to let me do that.

When everyone else leaves,

please

take care of this man.

This is the tea of oblivion.

It'll remove

your memories from this life.

I won't

drink the tea.

I think

I have to go now.

I'll be back soon.

I'll go running

and come back running.

You have to come.

Even if it takes 100 years or 200 years.

I'll wait for you.

- Promise me. - Okay.

See you soon.

In loving memory of

the beloved Goblin's bride.

May she rest in peace.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF THE BELOVED GOBLIN'S BRIDE

That day, the missing soul

walked through someone's tears

for an endless time.

There was no way of knowing whether it was day or night,

and time got carried away by the rainfall.

It was a very long

rainy season.

The missing soul

summoned her guardian to this world

and left just like that, after leaving him behind.

It was the loneliest and most beautiful guardian ever.

She must have

met her mom by now.

What is that hairpin?

You didn't pay for that, did you?

No, my dad did.

Then wear it when he's around. Why do you have it on now?

I love my dad whether he's around or not.

So mind your own business and shut your mouth.

I don't have a dad who buys me hairpins,

so I don't understand.

Gosh, why do you have to get all serious?

What are you looking at, lady?

Kids these days are scary.

Whatever.

Sweetheart.

I know you can be like that at your age,

but there's no reason you have to be.

I was only looking at you two

because I couldn't believe how pretty and precious you looked.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Do you want more fish cake?

- Yes. - Yes.

First loves never work out.

You must've loved her a lot.

I guess I did,

considering I can't hold back.

I mean,

I missed you so much that I couldn't breathe.

My life was in danger.

The woman forgot you

but you didn't forget her.

No.

Never for a second, nor a day.

HANMI BOOKSTORE

By the way,

you're not supposed to press down on my head that hard.

You're supposed to brush it gently.

HANMI BOOKSTORE

30 YEARS LATER

It's your final name card.

Your long punishment

has come to an end.

Is it just one?

Yes.

Finally, it's the end

of my long punishment.

Congratulations.

Please...

go in peace.

You've helped me a lot.

Thank you.

I won't need to dry clean this anymore.

KIM SUN AGE 68

You said...

I wouldn't hear from you.

Your news came anyway.

It's my last job.

Take care.

You too.

Regardless of the time or how your life may be,

be happy.

I've had a good life until now.

Don't make it rain.

Don't worry.

Saying goodbye is my specialty.

Once the washing is done, make sure to hang the laundry.

When you're done with that, come to the tea house.

I plan to break the rules just one more time.

I'm leaving anyway.

You haven't aged at all.

You're still just as handsome.

Have you been well?

You said I wouldn't hear from you.

I had forgotten

that the man I was seeing was a Grim Reaper.

I forgot that you would find out about me like this.

I've missed you.

I knew you would have.

I've always wanted to put it on your finger properly, at least once.

I'm sorry I forced it on you so meanly that time.

I've missed you a lot.

I knew you would have.

You are the last deceased soul

that I am seeing off.

I see.

Then what's next?

What happens to us?

Is this our happy ending?

This was

your third life.

What about you?

I don't know.

I guess...

this may be the last time.

Your brother is here.

Outside.

You still don't care about your brother.

I am happy I get to see you at least like this

before I go.

It is because I made a good friend.

I'm sorry for going first

and leaving you behind.

Please take care of yourself.

Let's meet again someday.

Be happy,

my ugly sister.

My sister,

my friend,

and my bride...

have all left.

And as always,

I am left all alone.

Cheer up.

Do you know why sandwiches come in pairs?

To share with someone else.

Take it.

There are lots of jobs in this world. We'll find one.

Eat up.

You're young.

I know you're frustrated.

Try to cheer up, though.

Some people shine...

later on in life.

Every life is touched

by a god at least once.

If someone nudged you back in the right direction

just when you were drifting away from the world,

that is

the moment a god stayed by your side.

I have to go.

Mr. Kim.

Go this way instead.

You will meet someone who needs your help.

Thank you for the sandwich.

Do you know anything about cars, sir?

Yes.

I can tell that this one's not running.

Can I help you?

Do you know about cars?

I've been fixing them for about 20 years.

Let's have a look.

Why didn't you call your insurance company?

They'd sort things out for you.

Did you call the insurance company?

I got distracted when you opened the hood, President Kim.

I'll call right away.

I believe...

I was meant to meet you.

Were we?

That's a romantic thought, sir.

Yes. I'm a bit of a romantic.

There we go.

KIM SUN WANG YEO

As I sent the lantern flying that night,

I prayed that my sister

and my King

would meet again one day in the future.

And when they meet again,

that they would be happy.

That had been my wish.

What's this?

I arrest people right away,

handcuff them without hesitation

and read them their rights.

You have the right to remain silent,

the right to refuse to testify-

I asked what this is about. Is that a hard question to ask?

You asked me to show you how I act out an arrest.

I just...

I asked you to show me,

not actually handcuff me.

Your criminal's over there.

Oh, is she the criminal?

You looked more like one. Sorry.

Don't I look like a detective?

At first glance, second glance and third glance,

you look like a criminal.

How dare you? What makes you think I'm a criminal?

Did I steal your heart or something?

You look like the hostess of a gambling den.

From head to toe.

Of course I look like one.

I'm working undercover right now.

We're pretending this is 2016 in this movie.

Forget it.

Director, who is this guy?

Why is he so rude?

Didn't I introduce you two?

He's our consultant, a detective from the Violent Crimes Unit.

I'm Lee Hyuk from Gangnam Police Station.

Lee Hyuk? No way.

I heard that.

Don't get any ideas.

I'm an actress

and we're filming nearby.

The crew didn't book a hotel,

so I'm just here because I don't have a choice.

I'm her stylist.

I have only one vacant room.

I seriously can't believe

how there's always only one vacant room.

That's too bad. We'll take it.

Quickly, please.

We could try looking for another hotel,

but we'd only get sore legs.

Sore legs become swollen.

The more sleep I get, the nicer my skin will be tomorrow.

How could they not book a room for an actress?

I didn't ask.

Here's the key.

Lead the way, stylist.

Do you have a room?

Sorry, I only have one left.

Pretend you didn't hear that.

I didn't hear anything.

So what will we do now?

- What do you mean? - Well...

"Should we date? Meet up regularly? I like you."

When will you say things like that?

Aren't you going to?

Should I say that first?

Should I, then? I'm an actress.

I'm already annoyed that I liked you first.

Who said you liked me first?

Everyone does. Are they all wrong?

- Yes. - How?

I liked you first.

That's my statement...

I mean, that's my confession.

My goodness.

Just a step too late

and I might have liked you first.

Give me your hand.

- What's this? - Consider it as a handcuff.

You just stole my heart.

Do you see this lion?
