"Mass is not proportional to volume"
"A girl as small as a violet"
"A girl who flutters like a flower petal"
"pulls me with a mass greater than Earth"
"In a moment"
"like Newton's apple"
"I roll unstopping toward her"
"with a thump"
"with a thud thud"
The red carpet was cool. Was that you?
It was amazing.
Ajusshi.
"My heart, sky to ground, dizzily swings"
Are you angry?
It was first love.
EPISODE 05
I'll...
walk from here.
Drop me off there.
I know the hotel area.
- I can walk... - Okay then.
Goodbye.
Only the Goblin's Bride
can draw the sword.
Once drawn, it will turn to nothingness.
Life is a mixture of genres.
What genre was your day today?
A romantic comedy?
A strange, beautiful fantasy?
A sad melodrama?
Quit this. Talk normally.
- You scared me. - I'm sorry.
I need a favour. Sorry.
Can you fill my hostel room fridge?
- Fridge? - Yes. I died recently.
Mom hasn't been there yet.
She'll be heartsick at my empty fridge. Help me.
But I...
have no money.
I didn't think. Sorry.
Ah! I know what to do.
Thank you.
~ and I'm here ~
~ just...just like I used to be ~
~ we were here ~
~ in old days ~
~ with you ~
~ with me ~
~ all my fears ~
~ have gone when you whisper to me ~
~ no matter ~
~ how near ~
~ or far apart ~
The tea will get cold.
You worked hard in this life.
Go safely into the next.
~ when you feel ~
~ so lonely, I'll be here, here for you ~
What's this?
A coincidence?
Not for me.
Why didn't you call? I waited. You said you'd call.
I will. Right now.
Where are you going? To find a payphone?
Home has a phone. I'll call you.
Ridiculous.
We just met.
Nice to see you.
This is insane.
How about coffee, not a call?
Seoul has cafés
and I'm free.
~ you always ask ~
~ you always want to make sure ~
Excuse me.
We're just drinking coffee?
The sun has set.
The day was short.
It wasn't.
You sat like that for ages.
Won't we say hi, how are we? And talk?
Hello. Are you well?
Yes. Are you well?
How's my ring? Still have no hand phone?
Yes, I'm well.
Your ring is fine.
I have no hand phone.
Be honest.
You forgot my name.
- Sun-Hee. - Sunny! Not Sun-Hee!
You're a funny man.
Is that your concept?
Why are you staring?
I can't help it...
when you smile.
I don't know your name.
What's your name?
She asked my name
but I don't remember it.
She asked how I'm doing
yet I'm not alive.
At her smile...
I recalled the moment
my life crumbled in sunlight.
I decided.
I must disappear...
before I crave to live.
Before I become happier.
I must choose this
for her sake-
ending this life.
By the way...
I can hear everything.
You really mean to die?
Mm.
By first snow.
You've been drinking?
- No. - You have.
The fridge is empty
of chocolate, peanuts, and even beef jerky.
Fine, I get it.
But you threw out the bottles?
So I wouldn't notice?
I had reasons.
Chairman Yu said to ask you for what I need.
Sorry, but can you pay? I've no money.
I've no money either! I don't...
I'm broke.
I'm about to pay...oh god.
I'm coming in.
Why'd you come?
Did Duk-Hwa dob on me?
For what?
Well, Duk-Hwa told me off.
He's in no position to scold others.
I emptied the fridge.
Can you pay?
I'll repay you from my job.
You won't?
You drank the liquor. I donated the rest.
If you ignore me, I'll blow all these out.
I can make you come and go all day.
Don't wish anymore.
No need.
I'll be with you from now on.
Let's go home.
Whose home?
Mine.
You're the Goblin's Bride.
Ajusshi.
Do you love me?
I will if you need me to.
~ when I close my eyes ~
~ I see those eyes ~
~ my heart kept aching ~
~ so I wanted to forget ~
Ajusshi.
Do you love me?
I will if you need me to.
I love you.
You hate me that much?
So much you're this sad?
The rain's pouring.
Never mind.
Despite your hate and sadness,
I'll go live with you.
I can't be picky about a hot or cold goblin.
I only need draw the sword, right?
Yes.
That's all.
Wait here. I'll pack.
Ajusshi, what's your name?
I'm not asking for curiosity.
Being pre-marriage housemates is ambiguous.
I'm the Goblin's Bride.
I should know my husband's name.
We aren't "we" yet.
It began before your birth.
"We".
Sometimes I'm Yu Jung Shin, sometimes Yu Ji Shin.
Currently I'm Yu Shin Jae.
My true name is...
Kim Shin.
Go. Green light.
Today is garbage day.
This is a new side of you.
Give it to me. I'll do it.
What's wrong? Why's she nice to me?
She'll stay here from today.
I must choose this for her sake-
ending this life.
I'm cheering for the work you'll do.
- Go in. - OK. Thank you.
So there's a lot of housework?
It must be 4 digits?
They press the star at the end.
You don't know your passcode?
We never use it to enter.
This is like
entering a Haunted House at a fun park.
Scared and excited,
I don't know what's waiting
or if I'll exit alive.
Come in.
Huh?
Why are you...?
Why, how, since when?
- She'll live here. - Look after me.
Tell her the door passcode.
*("angel" homophone )
1004*. Why's she staying? What about me?
Drink up and get sober.
This spot is perfect for a baroque couch.
Is it a photo studio?
Pastels with a daybed is best.
It isn't daycare.
An 1800s Romantic painting will go with a fireplace.
Is it an art studio? Scandinavian-style wallpaper...
It's my guest's room.
- It's my house. - It's my room.
I'm okay with it all.
1800s Romantic wallpapers here.
Pastel fireplace there. That's fair.
Should I sleep on the living room sofa today
or in the flowerbed outside.
I can't be picky.
- You should've got a bed... - Sleep in my room.
With you?
No!
What about you?
What's this about?
I'll use your bed, so relax.
You sleep on the couch.
What are you on about?
No way! It's my bed. Don't taint it.
I know. I said to relax.
- The sofa's outside. - I can't sleep there.
- She'll walk around. - Go to a hotel.
I can't go to a hotel when she's alone.
Where are you going?
I'll make Missing Soul sleep in the flowerbed.
- Were you always heartless? - Yes.
- I'll take your couch. - Don't talk.
Be nice to her.
This is comfortable.
Would he sit like this? Oh!
It's my book.
I said to read it, not keep it.
(The Stars May Take Your Pain Away)
He kept it.
Does he treasure it?
What's this book about?
I don't know Hanja (Chinese characters).
War is endless even in this foreign land.
Swords and arrows let people steal land, food,
and lives.
Foreign gods and Goryeo's gods
are the same.
I buried the child I left Goryeo with,
his grandson, his grandson, and his grandson.
On a chair in a corner of a small room,
I spent days and nights.
My Will is not written as death looms.
"God,"
"my Will is a plea for you to grant me death."
"I regarded this life as a prize"
"but it's a punishment."
"I have never forgotten"
"anyone's death."
"Thus..."
"I aim to end this life."
"However, God isn't listening."
Have you seen God?
Are you looking at God now?
I said not to talk.
How'd mere me see God?
I've seen him.
- What's he like? - Just...
a butterfly.
That's how he is.
He forbids us to hurt even a passing butterfly.
If he showed his face,
at least I could resent him.
That's true.
If God hands out hardships we can handle,
he overestimated me.
Is it tough?
Relax. I won't cry on you.
Humans see him all the time.
We don't see him once.
Oh, I'm at Goblin's home.
Do they make breakfast?
I wonder if they have groceries.
He has all he needs
but it feels lonely.
Wow!
How amazing!
Men do domestic work!
It's ages since someone cooked for me.
Who's giving you any?
Thanks for the food.
I'll earn my keep.
From tomorrow, I'll cook and do laundry.
We do our own.
That's unlike rich people...
You practised?
You're in good form today.
This is why
you can't hire staff.
Well, I wrote some terms.
Listen carefully.
"Letter of Plea".
"1. Don't let it rain too often."
It discomforts citizens so be happy
while I live here.
"2. If you have a complaint, tell me."
I hope you won't say you'll take me away
or actually take me away.
"3. In emergencies, call me."
Don't just materialise.
"Ji Eun Tak. 010-1234-1234"
Don't call me in class
or at my job
or at the library.
That's all.
I'm off to school.
Do we call her or not?
Is our lack of hand phones
being belittled?
Really?
Here.
I want the chic black. I like it.
You take the blue. Like it?
He's over-excited. It's new to him.
Teach him.
Memorise your number.
It's a "smartphone".
I'm okay. Explain to the newbie.
He's right. Explain to me.
- You know? It's very "smart". - I know.
- I didn't need one. - On TV, people face-talked.
Why are you in a hurry?
Ah, you uncles.
I'll teach that later.
First, go to the Play Store.
- Right now? - What?
Why'd you get up?
To go to the Play Store.
Yes.
Is it far?
- Well, get your coat. - OK.
You wanted to face-talk.
Sure.
I don't see your face.
It's on your ear? Move it.
Move what?
Move your arm away from your ear.
Like this.
Arm?
Okay.
Like this?
I can't see you.
What to do with you?
(Kim Shin)
(Military Commander, late Goryeo, died 1082)
"Military Commander".
A general? Ooh, serving the nation.
That's a stable job.
Why's there no data?
Didn't he achieve much?
Who is it? I don't know the number.
Hello?
You use a smartphone now.
5.5 inch Q-HD display,
Exynos 8890 Octa processor, 4GB RAM.
Tempered glass; light, slim body.
Why memorize that?
What do you need?
Brush. We have toothbrushes.
Know what this is?
He's you.
It has pink cheeks. How's it me?
Not that. He's a goblin but people fear him,
so his buckwheat jelly hood is a disguise.
He's cute. Get what I mean?
This is for night study.
Ajusshi, this is...
Anything else?
That's enough.
- They're a burden when I move. - What? - Who knows?
- I might move out. - Not that.
Who'll let you take them?
Did I say you could?
(Records of Receipt)
(Reaper Kim)
I don't know your name.
What's your name?
I didn't ask about salary, wealth
or inheritances.
How can you leave because I asked your name?
I'm sensitive about my name.
I'm sorry, Sun-Hee.
Not Sun-Hee. I'm Sunny.
Are we already parting?
You said a quick coffee. I finished.
Ridiculous.
But you took my receipt to get a refill.
You haven't given it back.
Why do you think I got a coffee refill?
Are you fond of coffee?
May I have the receipt? My company is strict.
~ you always ask ~
~ you always want to make sure ~
~ my answer is the same, the same everyday ~
~ why do you keep asking? ~
I did it. Got it.
( Add to contacts )
~ my lips dry out, I'm in a cold sweat ~
~ I know the answer, the words you want to hear ~
( Sun-Yi )
~ and you're testing me ~
( No )
~ you're so pretty, pretty, I said you're pretty ~
( Su Nny not Sun hee )
~ why don't you believe me? ~
( Save )
~ no matter, no matter ~
( Su Nny not Sun hee )
~ how many times I tell you, you already look upset ~
Check your room. It's livable.
Really?
It's heavy.
Like it?
You came but made me carry those.
My hands need a rest.
This. This.
This hand spent too much.
Was it this hand?
Is this heaven? I love it.
Your delicate hands did it?
Someone carried out my intentions.
Mm. Hmn.
Rest.
No nails on walls.
My room is below, so tiptoe.
Okay. Goodnight.
She's moving the plant.
It needs to face north.
Good job.
She likes the bed.
She went out her door.
I can't focus at all.
[A girl is studying as a high school senior]
A...name?
Why do you ask?
Is it like, a Reaper says my name 3 times, I die?
I'm married now.
I'm different.
I have a family.
I'm taking my husband's family name.
I'm not Ji Eun Tak.
Not your name.
A man's name that women like.
What?
I don't have a name.
So what's popular?
You have no name?
Ajusshi Goblin has one.
What is it?
Kim Shin. Pretty, right?
Annoying.
Do you have names in mind?
Hyuk...
Joon...
Min?
For a name women like,
there are three top ones.
Hyun Bin.
Won Bin.
Kim Woo Bin.
Bin.
Would he really call himself Hyun Bin, Won Bin, or Kim Woo Bin?
Well, yours is Yu Duk-Hwa.
It has an infuriating story.
Why'd Uncle idolise Andy Lau Tak-Wah?
I won't see "Infernal Affairs". I boycott it.
If I'm ever a big CEO, he'll surpass me.
But then, you beat me too.
How did I?
Your hands hold a vital thing.
- What? - My credit card.
That matters most.
- Wow! - What's "wow"?
I was born with nothing,
but I have a lot in my hands.
Here, here.
Drop me at the Chicken Café.
Surely you don't work there.
I do. Why?
Eat and listen.
About that Chicken Café...
I was ambushed.
Forget it. Cancel it.
Relax. I disregarded it.
That's a blessing.
So did Grandpa convey a message to me?
He did.
Take care of Ji Eun Tak
as her Uni entrance exam approaches.
He sent me no card?
"1. Don't ask Ji Eun Tak."
"2. Silence is golden."
"3. Be taciturn. 4. Shut up."
He hopes you succeed in these difficult tasks.
No credit card?
No.
When study bores you,
help with the sword.
You're busy studying
but give free time to the sword.
You're studying hard
but give a moment to the sword.
Though studying, give time to the sword.
I'm cheering secretly.
Scared me!
What's your dream
since you eat and study and won't pull the sword?
A radio producer (PD).
I'll major in that.
Not that.
You're too dense for Uni.
How mean is that?
I reflected on it.
I'll postpone making you pretty.
Postpone? Reflected?
What if you evict me if I lose my value?
I can't study for stress.
Yet you still eat snacks?
See your true colours.
Feel cheated?
$5000 would've been nicer.
Come on!
I'm water and fire, everywhere and nowhere.
Would I do a crude deal?
I'd snatch it classily.
But...
why's it $5000?
It's paltry. It won't pay a Seoul deposit.
I can't dream of a rental.
It's money to sleep in saunas,
and Uni tuition fees,
and I'd keep $2000.
It's an amount to cover student loans
and living expenses.
To someone poor,
$5000 is an unattainable as $50,000.
Get it now?
$5000. Do it.
How can't you? Cold snake.
- I've a question. - I won't give you $5000.
Oh god. You won't confess.
Go-baek (confess). Do it.
Enunciate properly. You startled me.
"Oh-baek (500). Do it."
That's what he said.
Go study.
But is your name Kim Shin?
Yes. Why?
Your name
is super cool.
Seriously.
You won't?
Do it.
Are you busy?
I don't know when I was last busy.
Can I call you 'Unnie' (sister)?
I have no sister to talk to.
If you need a sister, the topic is obvious.
- You're pregnant? - No way.
- Then? - Just...
What do you think of marrying young?
How old is the guy? 19? 20?
A bit older.
How old is he? What's he like?
He likes reading, music and art.
- He served the country... - Not that.
Does he treat you nicely?
For now. He needs me.
And you? You like him?
- No. - And him?
He likes you?
No.
You don't like each other! Why get married?!
That's right.
What's going on?
I won't bother you.
Ajusshi. Do you love me?
I will if you need me to.
I love you.
I don't need that kind of love.
Ajusshi, you don't either.
I won't make you pretty.
I'm home.
You're folding laundry? I'll help.
You do this alone? I can tell.
I'm glad you noticed.
You fold the bathroom towels.
You have killer skills.
I hope you avoid the word "killer".
Sorry.
I like these towels...
soft, luxurious, and bouncy.
Thanks.
This painting by 17th century Dutchman,
Rembrandt van Rijn, uses light and shadow.
People call it "The Night Watch". Mm-mn.
It's "The Shooting Company of Captain Frans Banning Cocq".
Where shall I hang this?
- Was that the scarf you had at 9? - It is.
It's Mom's keepsake.
She thought I saw ghosts because of my neck mark.
She made me wear a scarf
to cover the mark so as not to see ghosts.
It didn't work.
But it became a habit.
It represents Mom.
- Give her $5000. - Why should I?
And you. Why's your story sad?
I'm scared to ask.
- What's with him? - I wasn't talking to him.
He's cranky.
I feel sorry for you.
Did you pick a name?
Student. Shouldn't you study?
You'll miss out on Uni.
If I do well, I'll get in.
Whatever. Go and study.
You'll never be a radio PD.
You want to do that? Cool.
I loved listening to radio since I was small.
Why'd you tell him that?
People living together can chat.
"People"? No "people" live with you.
See my sword?
Mister, if you haven't chosen a name,
what about Park Bo Geum*? (*geom/sword)
(Park Bo Geum...)
What "Geom"?
You dare joke about swords!
Unbelievable.
Whose fault is it I have a stupid mark and see ghosts?
- Stupid? It's pretty. - Oh my!
Did you just flick my hair?
No wonder the sword's in your heart.
It's in there for a reason.
You hit my sore spot? You're a psychopath?
Are you any different?
"You aren't the Goblin's Bride. Focus on reality."
You talked like that.
I said that for your sake.
If you care for me, get me a boyfriend.
Job, aunt, boyfriend.
You didn't get me a boyfriend!
Your boyfriend's here!
Where, where, where?!
Right here! Me!
He's insane. Boyfriend?
Who said? Does he like me?
What a joke.
My first mistake in 900 years.
I'm her husband, not her boyfriend.
Should I go correct myself?
What a quandry.
Someone...
can't call because he has no name.
Those two...
Someone...
can't call because he has no name.
Those two...
Why's it dark in here?
What are you doing?
You're still here?
Get out, you two.
What's his problem?
It's a woman problem.
How? Why? Where?
This will be her number. Wow, a kiss!
Give me that before I force you.
Did you kiss here?
Come with me, nowhere pleasant.
- Uncle... - It's ringing.
- Don't call her. - Why'd you get her number?
To pretend I'm human. In case I call one day.
- One day is now. - Hello?
Talk like a human. Go on.
(Su Nny not Sun hee)
Hello, I am...
No, sounds bad.
Be gruff?
What? Don't know my voice?
I'm hard to forget...
Not that.
Hello? Oh, hello. Hello.
The third one.
- Hello? - You heard it all?
- Why aren't you frozen? - Aren't I cool? Take the call.
I can do this too.
Ding!
- What's this? - Eat up.
Freeze!
Hello?
You do know how to call.
You're not incapable or broken-fingered.
I see.
I learned how. My fingers aren't broken.
Thanks for caring.
So you kept my number.
Yes. It's safe and sound.
I waited for your call.
I see.
"Ah. I see"? Anything else?
Don't you have something to say?
- Like what? - "Morning, afternoon, evening,"
"when are you free?"
Morning, afternoon, evening, when are you free?
Meet in the morning, part in the evening.
I'll walk to seem human.
Get in.
- No human walks to Incheon. - Ah!
Your boyfriend's here!
- Where? Where? Where! - Right here! Me!
You startled me.
I'm thirsty.
I was...
going to work.
Ji Eun Tak.
Yes?
What?
- You just called me. - Me? - Yes.
- Why? - Yes, why.
I feel awkward.
Me too.
Should I
casually say I'm hungry?
Would you?
Then I'll casually ask
if you'd like beef.
I'll get my coat.
You get yours.
I'm ready. Let's go, go.
It's my second visit.
I'll be a regular.
We sat there last time.
Welcome to Quebec. Please have a seat.
It's my first trip overseas.
Why go as you turn 30?
At 29, I didn't even travel for shopping.
- Truly? - I had no reason.
I'm getting around fine my first time overseas.
I don't get lost or miss meals.
I'm about to eat steak.
I'm with a man at a nice restaurant.
The man must be nice too.
I'm tired. Bye.
Okay. Goodnight.
President, over here.
At the age of 29,
you still shine.
But it seems
I'm not by your side.
My immortality
has finally ended.
After my death,
you are still here.
You've forgotten me
and your life is complete with me gone.
I must disappear
for the sake of your lovely smile.
I must make this choice.
I must end my life.
~ where I am, who I am ~
In the end...
that's what I choose.
~ where I am ~
~ who are you, who are you ~
~ I can't hide this happiness ~
~ I flipped the world to find you ~
~ you who came into my dreams ~
~ where are you? ~
~ I will find you ~
~ I will recognise you ~
~ wherever, whoever you are ~
~ I will recognise you ~
~ I will remember ~
~ I will look at you ~
~ even as sunsets pass by without you ~
~ I won't forget you ~
~ I'll cherish everything of you ~
~ this beautiful life ~
~ GOBLIN : LONELY SHINING GOD ~
He's handsome and strange.
But I forget when I see his face.
You shouldn't press hard.
You should stroke gently.
Can you...
make me prettier now?
Okay.
Stop hurting now.
You hurt too much.
I left the deed in your room.
It's your house now.
Have a long, happy life.
And I need a favour.
When I disappear, her mark will disappear.
When that happens,
erase her memory.
Don't let her blame herself.
