Tale of the Nine-Tailed

No, you can't look through those.

Put these on and look in the mirror.

You'll find what you wanted to know.

There are moments when we need the rain.

For nature, for farmers,

and for us.

Why do you look at me like that?

Time flows at a different speed for us.

You look just as you did when we first met.

Are you afraid...

of the course of life and death as a human?

I'm afraid.

I'm not afraid of aging, illness, or death,

but how you'll stand all those years...

alone without me.

That's what I fear.

Time doesn't stay still,
even if we try to catch it.

I've caught the time.

I'll live my life fine without you.

Cold-hearted jerk.

So throw away your bow and live a long life,

until you're crippled and your hair turns gray.

Make me hate you before you die.

Promise me you still won't change.

If I betray you...

Then what?

Shoot me.

Your Highness! I mean, My Lady.

Where have you been?
I looked everywhere for you.

Do I have to report my toilet business?

- Of course not.
- A word from the palace has come.

You're to return at once.

What?

You should get changed first...

Who dares...

to call in a daughter disowned by the king?

It's the king's order.

Did you just say it's the king's order?

Please come without delay.

His Majesty is in critical condition.

You've grown a lot.

You don't look well.

How was life outside of the palace?

My eyes burned.

Your eyes...

burned?

The streets were filled with smoke.

At first, I thought people were making food,

but it wasn't so.

People were cremating
family who died of starvation.

Your subjects.

The country is...

in chaos.

I thought the country was in chaos,

but that also wasn't the case.

What's chaotic is the king's mind,

for something wicked is...

residing within the king's body.

I should've ended your life from the beginning.

You must be the serpent.

You're the only one in this palace...

who's recognized me through the ages.

Come out.

Come out of his body!

Why?

Why don't you shout for help,
as you did back then?

Shoot me.

This body won't last, anyway.

It wouldn't be bad for your foolish father...

to die by the daughter he saved.

Stop your nonsense!

Why do you think you were
driven out of the palace?

It's because...

you stole my father's body,

and controlled his mind...

It was your father's choice!

What?

From birth, you've always been...

nothing but a sacrifice offered to me.

Your father...

offered me this body to save you.

Bring me the mountain deity.

Then I'll let your father go.

As long as I'm attached,
your father won't last...

more than three days.

Fine.

I'll hand Yeon over.

However,

mountain deities belong to the mountains.

He can't leave the mountain he rules over.

- What?
- Let my father go.

And come with me.

I'll let you...

use my body.

I'll get him out of the palace,

and trust Yeon to take care of the rest.

This woman means nothing to me.

No way.

Did you think you could
use this woman to trick me?

Don't you think I was the one
who used her to lure you out?

Please spare my life.

I don't want to die.

You promised me.

You promised you won't
change until the day I die.

- Yeon.
- Come out of her!

Did you see it?

Answer me. Did you?

Will you please look at me?

What in the world did you see?

I was...

killed in my previous life.

You...

killed me.

You only wanted...

to capture the serpent.

Lee Yeon.

You used me...

as a sacrifice.

Is that really...

who you are?

It was me.

But you saved me time and time again.

And you couldn't get over...

your first love for centuries.

You're right.

I killed you.

With my own hands,

I killed you.

Why?

Do you wish to relive that old tragedy?

If you get into this,

it'll be either you or her.

That's just who I am.

That's all?

You played with my heart just as you pleased.

Is that all you have to say to me?

At least make an excuse!

Please.

It was just cost-efficient.

I sacrificed one person to
save the lives of thousands.

I'm a deity, after all.

But why am I...

heartbroken?

Why was I worried about you
until the moment you killed me?

And why am I...

in tears because of you?

Don't be deluded.

Those emotions aren't yours.

You just had a peek at your past life.
Don't act like you're that woman.

You scumbag.

That's right.

Don't waste your time on a scumbag like me.

Don't make that mistake in this life.

That way, you'll live longer.

Your rice is fully cooked.

Chapter 8
Reincarnation

Traditional Korean Cuisine
Snail Bride

Bring me the most expensive liquor you have.

When will that punk ever grow up?

Should I open up a bottle
of single-malt whiskey?

Don't give him anything.

It seems something bad is about to happen.

Did she see it?

She did! What did she say?

Tell me. I'll be too curious to sleep tonight.

Rang.

What?

What do you want to be if you can be reborn?

What's this nonsense?

Tell me.

I don't mind whatever I become.

Well, if I had to choose, a Dokdo shrimp.

I like how it looks great with a mustache.

And it's luxurious.

If I can be reborn, I want
to try living as a human.

What a pathetic wish.

I want a life filled with things
that'd be my firsts and lasts.

Taking first steps. First picnic.

First love.

What's this pitiful nonsense you're spewing?

Nothing much. I never got a
chance to talk to you this frankly.

Have you gone insane?

Did you let yourself go after fighting with her?

The serpent...

Where is it right now?

Do you think I'll tell you?

I knew you wouldn't.

So this is your choice.

Traditional Korean Cuisine
Snail Bride

Do you want to play?

We used to play often.

It's not fun playing with you at all.

You've never won against me.

Are you in, or not?

Gotcha!

Yeon, why is the sky blue?

No idea. I didn't paint it.

Then why do owls cry, "hoot, hoot"?

No idea. I didn't make them cry.

This thing. Why do azalea flowers taste sweet?

Why do flowers bloom in spring?

Shut up.

What was that for?

Why do you have so many questions?

I just like listening to you talk.

Your moves are too hasty.

Leave the tail.

Don't play useless empty spots.

I won!

- I won again!
- Darn it.

What a shame.

Not bad, kid.

I'm not a kid.

It'll never fly if you run like that.

It's up! It's flying!

Raising a kid is a lot of work.

You're too slow. Again.

Does it seem odd?

How did you manage to beat me
every time with those poor skills?

Shut up.

I let you win.

There was never an exception.

I said to shut up.

I won't let you win anymore.

That's what I wanted to say.

Hey, stop right there.

If you leave, that'll be the end of us.

Sorry.

Sorry?

At this point in time?

For saving you...

after your human mother abandoned you.

If I hadn't,

we wouldn't have met as brothers.

Mom.

Go away! Let me go!

Mom. Mom?

Mom.

Mom.

Are you that kid?

The one my father had with a human?

Are you a fox, too?

I heard you shared our father's blood,

but you aren't much.

You don't have the will to live.

What a waste of time. I'm leaving.

Look, it's still alive.

That's an "agwi," a being who can't die.

Those who starve to death...

hold grudges deeper than one expects.

Even so, I like them over
those who give up easily.

Wait.

It's up to you to live as a human or a fox.

But remember this, kid.

There's no salvation to those
who won't save themselves.

Wait for me!

Wait for me, Big Brother.

Big Brother!

I'll wait here.

Here? All day long?

If anything, I'm an expert at waiting.

I can sit here not only 24 hours, but 24 years.

You'll live much longer than I will.

Do you want one? You don't look so well.

I'll pass for today.

A human soul stinks whenever I eat one.

Their memories also seep into
our dreams and give us nightmares.

But it's thanks to their souls
that we can carry on living.

Both of us, Mr. Lee.

Why bladder cherries, of all things? Gross.

He said these bladder cherries look
the most similar to the shape of a soul.

Is the serpent home? Let's see his face.

Not right now.

I did all his work for him so far.

Shouldn't he be at least thanking me in person?

If not, he's just a leech.

You can talk to me.

I don't want to.

I'm just worried. I don't want an
important guest like you to get hurt.

What?

You two go and take me
for an idiot just because...

I played along for a while.

- Why are you laughing?
- Let him go.

Are you the serpent?

Nice to meet you. I've
been wanting to see you, too.

What are you doing here?

You wouldn't answer my texts or calls.

I have to talk to you...

about the dog you saved, Yu-ri.

Is it dead?

That's not it.

That guy doesn't have...

a name.

Just call it whatever you want.

No, its name is its identity.

Then put in a little effort and name him for me.

But you're the mommy.

I'm the mom?

Right, I'm the mom.

Anastasia. Go with that.

Anastasia?

That's a pretty name.

He's a boy, but it suits him.

Of course it does.

- What are you looking at?
- Nothing.

You really are the Yu-ri I thought you were.

If you ever look at me with those eyes again,

you'll lose your eyesight forever.

I don't care how you lived your life.

I don't care why you approached me.

I'll show you...

that this world isn't just
filled with wickedness.

I'll make sure you regret what you just said.

I look forward to it.

Look!

I'm seriously going to kill you!

See you around.

I thought you'd still be a kid.

You must've eaten a lot.

Could you give us a moment?

- But...
- I'll be fine.

Why are you so sad?

- What?
- You're deeply hurt.

Cut your bull.

Your brother?

I can see it.

There's hell in your heart.

This thing's much more annoying than I expected.

Don't you think we're similar?

I personally despise things that molt.

Listen up.

I don't care what you're after.
I'm doing things my way now.

I can't keep waiting.

You want to kill that woman.

I can't let you do that.

Why is that?

She was my sacrifice to begin with.

She'll be my bride.

♫ Congratulations on your promotion! ♫

- Are you all crazy?
- That's what I'm saying.

Mr. Choi was just promoted to General Manager.

What did he ever do to get promoted?

If you're jealous, just say so.

I guess they didn't know
you spend most of your time...

on self-improvement,

at billiards, gyms, and karaokes.

I only went to that karaoke
once when I got divorced.

- He sang "She's Gone."
- Hey!

Who wants cake?

Why are you so down?

- I'm fine.
- You aren't.

We've worked together for too long.

Did you fight with your boyfriend?

Make up with him.

You'll never date again
if you break up with him.

Get a grip.

He's much better in every
aspect except for your young age.

She's not worse off.

Why are you so discouraging?

It's true. What I said is true.

- Only we get to mess with her.
- Yes.

Where have you been?
I looked everywhere for you.

You acted like such a big shot for nothing.

Did you find a new story?

Yes, just now.

What is it?

Previous life.

Do you want a hug?

- Get lost.
- I'm relieved.

You're still the same Mr. Lee.

I made some fried-tofu rice balls.

You haven't eaten or slept, right?

I don't want any.

Try just one. It's sweet, sour, and delicious.

I'm not a preschool kid.

Look at that!

Hey.

Eat up...

to protect her, and put up a fight.

Anyway,

why didn't you tell her...

it was a misunderstanding?

You could've said, "What you
saw isn't the entire story."

Everything is unraveling again.

If history repeats itself,

I have to let Ji-a remember me
as a bigger scumbag than this.

You're afraid.

You're afraid she might try
to save you instead of herself,

just as Lady A-eum did.

Are you sure you won't regret this?

No.

But you're still going to take a
step back and protect her from afar?

- Yes.
- After such a long wait?

Yes.

Are you serious?

It's my decision.

Please keep an eye on her.

The rice ball was good.

I'll go with you.

It's all right. I know this doctor personally.

- What about lunch?
- Go ahead and eat now.

Sir!

Sir.

Why are you ignoring me?

I didn't want to say "hi."

I kept waiting for you.

Why would you wait for me?

I did some thinking on what
I wanted to be when I grow up.

When I was six, I wanted to be a triceratops.

But then when I turned seven,

the owner of an internet
café seemed really cool.

- Then I turned eight...
- Stop.

Cut to the chase.

I want to be like you.

You're good-looking, brave, and you have...

We're different, to the core.

- Why?
- I'm the guy who beats people up.

It seems someone must've beaten you up.

Was it at school? Or at home?

I wasn't beaten up.

I don't care if you live as a
guy who gets hit or hits others,

but I heard there's no salvation for someone...

who won't save himself.

I heard they were half-brothers,
but there must be more.

I was very moved.

His fractured soul smelled so sweet.

Let's test it out.

He might become another weakness for Lee Yeon.

How?

We're about to have a guest.

Goodness. I'll take that.

- What are you doing? Take one.
- Thank you.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

This is...

Hey.

The green plum smells excellent.

It's made with organic green plums from Hadong.

Hadong? No wonder.

I once went to cover the
Hadong Plum-Blossom Festival.

- That was back when...
- Ma'am.

The petals from the
flowers began to flutter down,

and it looked...

Let me take you there one of these days.

Goodness.

Why? What?

You never covered that festival.

What brings you here?

Why else would I come to a restaurant?
I came to eat, of course.

And I know how good of a cook you are.

Leave.

I might have rice left over to feed the mice,

but none for you.

Look at this hag.

Did you bury all your fears,

along with those kimchi jars
after living centuries as a widow?

Or...

did you forget who I was?

How could I forget you?

You're the one who killed my husband.

Goodness, my dear girl, Snail Bride.

You still didn't get over that foolish farmer?

Why did you do it?

Everyone has a wound...

kept deep inside their hearts.

All I did was...

mess around with his trauma like usual.

And if he got too caught up and couldn't return,

you should blame it on his weak will.

Why? Why did it have to be him?

Do you actually mean to ask why it was you?

What?

You know...

I hate your kind the most.

The main characters of famous folk tales.

There's no one out there who
even remembers my name.

Are you okay?

Do you need help?

- Please don't mind me.
- How can I not mind you?

Excuse me, ma'am.

If you don't like the customer
service, go somewhere else.

You'll end up on the news for
abusing your rights as a customer!

What are you the most afraid of?

What?

You're afraid of planes.

What?

Wait, why is this guy here?

You need to leave now.

See you around, then.

Is that woman a shaman?

Can you tell I have a fear of flying?

Cheonhwasubok Rice Wine

Today is your son's death anniversary.

You remembered.

Where is Granny?

Probably cooped up somewhere,

throwing a fit.

Ever since then,

you both lived with a sharp pain in your hearts.

That's probably why...

she's more strict with you.

Yes, I've heard that from
her more than I care to.

"That darned love."

"It'll escape right through
your hands like grains of sand."

"But you keep putting
your life on the line for it."

If you take your own life,

you can't be reborn.

Just as our Bok-gil.

I'd like to ask you for a favor.

Starting now, I'm going
to do everything I can...

to save my life and hers.

I'm sorry, Mother.

Why did you kill yourself if you were sorry?

- Have you been well?
- Yes, very well.

You really did quit drinking.

You look much better now.

I'd love to have my son be
as concerned for me as you are.

So Ms. Nam, what are you looking into this time?

Is this really our first life?

Previous life.

Previous life?

I'm planning a few case studies.

I heard there are a number of children
who say they remember their past life.

That's their argument, at least.

Although this isn't acknowledged academically...

Boy Remembers Past Life
and Solves Murder Case

A Syrian boy who remembers his previous life?

Since he was four,

he kept insisting that he was a man
named "Muhammad" in his past life.

He singled out the house...

he lived in his past life in
a city he'd never been to,

then even pointed out the
neighbor who murdered him.

That's interesting.

May I borrow this?

But...

why did you choose to look into this?

Just trying to make a living,
and I didn't have a good story.

Why?

She asked me the same
question on that same chair.

Who did?

Your mom.

What?

Your mom and I put those together.

My mom was a surgeon.
Why did she look into this?

You really...

don't remember anything at all?

What do you mean?

When you were nine years old,

your mom asked me...

to do hypnotherapy on you.

Do you believe in a previous life?

- Yes, I do.
- Why?

Because of déjà-vu.

Someone you met for the first time...

might feel like someone you already know,

or a strange place may suddenly feel like home.

You've felt that way?

When I backpacked in Paris.

- At the Versailles Palace.
- Come on.

- What about you?
- Aside from believing it or not,

I hope reincarnation doesn't exist.

- Why not?
- This life is tough as it is.

What if I'm reborn as a mosquito?

Then I'll be mosquito repellent.

Don't be obsessed with me, just
because you grabbed my hand once.

You'll find what you want to know on that disc.

Which team are you in?

May I see your ID?

Nam Ji-a
Hypnotherapy

Go in deeper and deeper.

Slowly. Very slowly.

As you get off, you see a door.

Will you open it?

I don't want to.

It's all right.

I don't want to open it.

Why not?

Something scary might pop out.

If it does, your mom and I will drive it away.

Try opening the door.

You went in.

What do you see?

People. They're wearing hanbok.

But this is so funny.

What's so funny?

What are the people doing?

- They're lying down.
- Why?

Because...

they were all killed.

Ji-a, can you hear me?

Ji-a.

Be quiet, won't you? I can't
sleep with all this noise.

Why did you wake me up? It's not my time yet.

You're Ji-a, aren't you?

I'm that little girl, but also not.

Who are you?

Can you hand me some water?

That's nice.

I was born in a leap month
of a leap year in a snake cave,

a graveyard for plague victims,

a place where the living and dead
all struggled to save themselves.

It was hell on earth.

One day,

a beast in human form walked out of the cave.

What did the people call me?

Yes, the serpent.

Anyway, where's the mountain
deity now? I need to find him.

"No food..."

"or drink allowed."

"If you're the last to leave the room,"

"please turn off the editor."

There you are.

Ji-a, what are you doing here?

I was looking at some records.

What's up?

I have to edit subtitles.

I'll wrap it up.

Basement floor one.

Excuse me.

I'm not buying.

You don't have to buy anything.

Just have a taste, handsome man.

Ma'am. Can't you read?

Do Not Ring Bell

Anyway, what are you the most afraid of?

Someone like you. Solicitors.

Come on, that's not it.

Get lost.

I saw everything.

I ended up in my wretched old house?

I can't believe how wasted I am.

You illegitimate kid!

He's born from a fox!

All the livestock in town died because of him!

- He must've eaten their livers!
- That's right.

- Kill him!
- Kill him!

- Kill him!
- Kill him!

- Die!
- Kill him!

- Kill him!
- End its life!

- Die!
- Kill him!

- Die!
- It's all his fault!

- Kill him!
- Kill him!

- Kill him!
- That's enough!

- Kill him!
- Stop, all of you!

How?

That day,

you watched the whole thing.

You...

shouldn't have been born.

I did just about everything...

to lose you during pregnancy.

I've had poisonous plants,

rolled down a hill,

and even struck my stomach with a rock.

But your beastly life was too persistent.

How are you still alive after
being beaten by those men?

You're...

a monster, my baby.

Come. Come with me.

Don't touch me!

This...

isn't a dream.

Could this be the Forest of Agwi?

It's an agwi.

I'm not going to die.

Because this is when...

Sorry for saving you...

when your human mother abandoned you.

Yeon will...

no longer come to save me.

I need you,

Yeon.

Young lady.

Try this.

It's a free sample.

Thank you.

Are you new here?

I haven't met you.

We're holding a special event today.

An event?

You'll find out soon enough.

Young lady, what are you the most afraid of?

I guess it's Fox Hill.

Ma'am!

Ta-da. Here's your birthday present.

Fox Hill.

You ended up in the Forest of Agwi.

- You.
- My condolences in advance.

If this was a game, it'd be the worst stage.

Did you do this?

If you die here, you'll actually die.

I'll tear you to pieces.

Here's something funnier.

I plan on telling this news to your brother.

Don't get too excited.

His girlfriend is in a similar situation.

Dad!

Dad, can't you hear me?
You have to stop the car!

Mom!

Dad, stop the car.

Dad! Stop the car!

Say that again.

As you can see, there are two doors.

One leads to your brother,
and the other to your girlfriend.

Which one will you choose?

I say #3.

I want to break your neck.

Go ahead.

Once you break the rule,
they'll be stuck in there forever.

The serpent sent you, right?

Well, let's say we're business partners.

Hey, ma'am.

Just you wait. I'll repay my debt very soon.

You'd better hurry.

Neither of them have much time.

Mom! Dad! Stop the car.

Stop the car! Stop it now!

I knew he'd only be concerned about that woman.

Hey, kid!

Yeon?

I heard you talking bad about me.

Get your hands off.

This isn't the time to play hard-to-get.

Tale of the Nine-Tailed

Can I really save both of them from this hell?

I was in my office just moments ago.

Just think. What's your biggest fear?

Being abandoned.

- I've...
- No!

...never abandoned you.

Yeon already had an idea...

of what he was up against.

I'm not alone. I trust Yeon.

Please don't let my choice be the wrong one.
