Jun O!
Where did you part ways with him?
Near that cliff over there.
I thought he went back to the tent.
- Where has he gone? - Don't worry, Mr. Han.
I used to be a firefighter, you know.
Searching people is my specialty,
so let's check out where he went missing.
Jun O!
Answer me, Jun O!
Jun O!
Young Hwa.
No.
No, Young Hwa.
Jun O!
Could he have left already?
No. He couldn't have left without telling me.
What was the exact time you parted ways with him?
Mr. Han?
I'm sorry.
I'll have to ask you for one last favour...
for the sake of my brother.
Excuse me?
Don't think it's unfair.
This is all because of karma from your past life.
What are you talking about?
Young Hwa!
Young Hwa.
Young Hwa!
Help!
No.
Hold on, Young Hwa.
Don't fall.
Had I known this would happen,
I would have told you my honest thoughts.
I would have asked you...
to stay by my side.
(Moon in the Day)
Come on. Here we are.
- I am holding on to it. - Goodness.
- That is not balanced. - Come here.
- Get that out of here. - Okay.
Really?
Mother. Father.
In a few days,
I will get married to my enemy.
He risks his life every time to protect me,
and I can neither kill him...
nor give my heart to him.
Am I allowed to break the moral laws like this?
They told me that you never left your room.
You said that you would tell me...
how to live your life,
yet you have not given me any answers.
Perhaps,
you already have your answer...
but are looking away.
It is my greed...
to keep you...
by my side for a little longer.
I apologize.
I simply came here to tell you that.
There you were.
Have you looked for me?
The wedding is near,
and I cannot have the bride go missing.
That was a joke...
to make you smile.
I was about to come to you.
About...
what you said to me earlier...
We do not...
have to talk about that.
What is this?
This is your last chance.
My father must have put his men...
on the road to Great Gaya.
So, go north.
People of Gaya have moved to the northern coast,
so...
start a new life there.
I apologize...
for my belated answer.
Then, what about you?
If you let me leave like this...
I have already told you...
that I finally wanted to live...
after I met you.
I would rather let you go...
than make you my shackles.
Liar.
It makes no sense that you would let me go when you want to live.
Be honest with me.
Do not say that you are doing this for me,
or blame anyone else.
Tell me your sincere wish...
that you want to keep me by your side.
I...
want you...
to leave.
That is my sincere wish.
Ri Ta.
If that is what you sincerely wish,
would you like to make a bet with me, Master?
If you do not turn around...
until you cross this...
Then, will you promise...
that you will promptly leave this place?
But if I win,
you must admit it.
That you actually do not want me to leave.
I will win, though.
I do not plan on losing either.
Will you...
never look back?
Do not blame me.
You are the one...
who started this bet.
I mean it.
If you do not turn around,
this will be our last.
This is cheating.
I know that it is.
If you and I were normal...
and had nothing to do with this ill-fated relationship,
how would it have been?
If we could have been normal,
I would have wanted nothing more than that.
If so,
we would not have met.
So, I have won.
Do not think it is unfair.
Men usually do not know their own feelings.
Who says that I do not?
Are you sure...
you will not regret this?
I believe...
that I will.
But I cannot...
help myself anymore.
I cannot...
help myself either.
Dear Moon, dear bright Moon
Where did you go during the day
To come back in the night?
Why have you stopped?
We must go now.
They will all look for the bride and groom.
Our wedding is tomorrow, so today,
I must visit His Majesty in the palace.
So, I would like to keep listening...
to your voice for now.
Dear Moon, dear bright Moon
Where did you go during the day
Young Hwa.
Master.
Focus.
Come up.
Thanks.
You saved my life.
See?
You are my guardian deity.
I merely got lucky.
When I was about to die,
I regretted...
not having told you that I couldn't...
leave you yet.
I won't ask you to stay with me forever.
Can you just...
stay with me a little longer?
Will I be able to...
kill you?
Young Hwa.
What's wrong with me?
Young Hwa, wake up.
I'm at the campsite on Geummun Mountain...
in Myungdae Village, Gyeonggi Province.
The woman I was with...
A woman in her 20s on Geummun Mountain, right?
We already received a call and sent help.
You already got a call?
It's a light concussion.
But the injury is not visible on the outside,
so I recommend you...
come back for a thorough check-up after you leave.
Thank you.
You see? This is nothing.
Didn't you hear him?
He said you should visit him again.
He meant only when I have a symptom.
You better listen to me.
I can take care of myself.
If I were a little late, you would've been dead!
It was Min O...
who pushed you off the cliff, right?
You knew?
Since we don't know his whereabouts,
let's get help from the police first.
Wait.
I want to ask Mr. Han something.
What he said at the end troubled my mind.
All the incidents are...
because of what I did in my past life.
"Because of what I did in my past life."
I don't even get what it means.
How did Mr. Han know about my past life?
Do you know anything about it?
How would Min O know about...
Stay here. Don't go anywhere else.
I must save Jun O.
What are you?
Why did you do that?
Jun O.
You already know I'm not Jun O.
Why did you try to kill Young Hwa?
And how did you know about her past life?
All I did was to save my brother.
If she dies,
you can come back.
What on earth are you talking about?
I heard she should die so that you can survive.
I had no choice.
To save my brother...
Min O...
You're crazy.
The whole time I've lived...
that has never happened.
Based on what ground are you talking nonsense?
"Nonsense?"
There's no life created by killing others.
You just...
almost killed a person.
You tried to kill Young Hwa,
who tried her best to save your brother!
If she...
were dead,
you would never overcome...
the feeling of heavy guilt.
That's what you did!
Don't you see through it?
Your brother Jun O is...
already dead.
Don't say that!
He can't be dead.
You saw it too.
You saw your brother's dead body after he was pronounced dead.
Your guilt to kill her is heavy,
but I won't punish you.
Because you and your brother's destiny is...
already hapless.
Never...
approach her again.
Then, all he said was...
a lie?
What did you just say?
I hope...
you'd take care...
of yourself first.
What have I done?
Honestly,
I want to stay alone at home tonight.
Can I?
Is it because of Min O?
Should I die for you to survive?
I can never get what it means.
I have no idea how he came to think of it.
Don't keep thinking about it.
All you need to do now is to stay next to me.
You don't know what danger may come to you again.
You said the same thing before.
As if you expected what'd come later.
You kept repeating that I was in danger.
You also said I should stay away from Mr. Han.
Did you perhaps know about it already?
What matters now is...
the fact that you aren't safe yet.
If you believe me, let's go in now.
Please.
Take some rest.
Let me know...
if you're hungry just in case.
There may be something to eat here.
There's something I don't know, right?
Is this related...
to what Mr. Han said...
about my past life?
It's just what a lunatic full of paranoia said.
Ignore it.
Then what about our curse?
At that time,
I just let it slide because what you said about it bothered me.
Come to think of it, it's so strange.
How did your curse become our curse?
I've always felt you were hiding something.
I've just ignored it, but not anymore.
What are you hiding?
"We" means I'm also related to it.
Sometimes,
it's better not to know.
No,
I need to know it.
I don't want to be dragged down by words...
like the past or curses.
So,
please tell me.
Young Hwa,
you'll be dead...
before 30.
What?
It's your curse...
repeating in your last 18 lives.
Your life this time...
will come to an end soon.
Although you don't remember me,
you'll remember your sin soon.
Seok Chul Hwan!
Was it all a lie?
That Jun O will be back once Young Hwa is dead!
Was that a lie?
Your voice is too loud.
What?
Who is the one who couldn't even kill that woman?
How do I know?
This awful mark disappears only after she dies.
But it's still there.
Is this all you got?
I trusted you, useless, pathetic loser,
when you were going crazy over your dead brother,
but you wasted my precious time.
Is it true that Jun O is already dead, then?
Gosh. You were crazy to believe he wasn't dead.
How can a soul come back after losing its body?
That has never happened before.
You're done with the questions, right?
I don't have much time, either.
Who are you?
I already told you...
about the evil spirit that has lived over 1,000 years.
Why did you use me...
to do this?
Don't worry.
It didn't have to be you.
There are plenty of people who will kill Young Hwa.
I should tell Jun O about it.
I have to tell...
Jun O by any means.
(My Brother)
I am...
going to die?
I had lived 18 different lives.
But I never lived as a renowned historical figure.
(Young daughter of an aristocrat, hunter, garment seller, servant...)
I see a lot of them died young...
maybe because the average life span was short back in the day.
Did they all die young...
because of the curse?
Are you all right?
How can I be all right?
I just heard I will die when I turn 30.
It's so ridiculous that it hasn't sunken in yet.
I know you're confused now, but...
Right.
A few could have died when they were young.
Did you see it, then?
Did you see all of the past 18 lives...
dying before they turn 30?
I...
witnessed all of your past life's death.
That's how I realized...
that you are repeating deaths...
for 1,500 years, and I...
stay by your side...
to helpless watch you die.
That is...
the dreadful curse we share.
It might be at least one time when it isn't the case.
There are always exceptions.
You asked me about the curse after what happened today.
You had many moments where you almost died.
Do you think they were coincidental?
Jun O, move away!
What didn't you tell me about it earlier, then?
If you were so sure,
why did you keep your mouth shut?
Even if I tell you,
nothing will be changed.
No.
You changed it earlier.
You saved me at the cliff.
Young Hwa.
Come to think of it,
you said there's a way to lift the curse.
Isn't that why you told me not to have dreams?
What is the way?
Tell me.
I have to...
kill you to lift the curse.
I think it might be useless already.
I am sorry.
There is no way as of now.
How did it become useless?
Min O is...
(Emergency Medical Center)
- Help me here. - Okay.
Unbutton him.
Switch now. Two, three!
Are you writing it down?
What happened?
What do you mean...
Min O was found in a motel?
- Well, actually... - The motel owner called the police,
saying a man was down.
It's a shabby old motel,
so it doesn't have security cameras.
But based on the circumstance and evidence found on the scene,
we assume someone attacked him.
- It'll be a violent crime case... - Someone...
tried to kill Han Min O?
Who on earth...
We're investigating it fast, so I ask for your patience.
I'll contact you again. Yes.
(Intensive Care Unit)
Mr. Han I knew had been a good guy.
He isn't someone who would be attacked for no reason.
Or someone who would kill another easily.
No matter what kind of an unspeakable story he had,
we cannot deny that he made a choice himself.
Mr. Han's incident.
That has to do with my curse too, right?
Now I'm curious.
What kind of karma I had in my past life...
that innocent people around me have to suffer like this?
From what you've seen,
what kind of person was I in my past life?
Not the one I saw in my dream.
I'm talking about the real me that you remember.
I remember Ri Ta was...
Gosh. Goodness!
What happened to Han Min O?
What's your relationship with the patient?
Don't you know I'm his lawyer?
What happened? Is he dead?
Please get out. You can't do this here.
Come on.
That person did all this. That person.
Then, all he said was...
a lie?
I have to run away.
I have to go.
I will call Mr. Jang,
so take his car and go straight home.
You cannot meet anyone. Do you get it?
That person...
He...
Is there a person I am not aware of?
What if I missed something?
I'll get in trouble. He's coming.
You.
Jun O.
Do you know something about Min O?
What do you mean?
Just answer me.
Do you know what happened to Min O?
I don't know anything.
I am completely unrelated and not at fault!
You've killed someone before.
Did you do that...
to Min O?
No, I just killed Gu Tae Ju by mistake...
Gu Tae Ju was...
also killed.
No, I didn't do it.
It was that man. He pushed me into this trap!
"That man?"
Yes, I knew something was weird from the beginning.
It couldn't have been a coincidence.
Yes, everything is clear now.
The one who used me to kill Gu Tae Ju...
and did that to Han Min O was...
Wait.
- Goodness. - What was that?
Man, that was so close.
I can't believe I missed him.
These humans are all useless.
I need to change my plan.
Do Ha.
You cannot find out about me at this point.
So? What is Han Ri Ta up to?
It seemed like she shut herself up in the room,
but she had been going out often for a few days.
At times, Lord Do Ha goes out to look for her himself.
Tomorrow is their wedding.
I will not allow anything to change.
Go get her.
Yes, my lord.
What does it feel like to lay down one's life...
for another?
And how does a woman feel...
when she is about to marry...
a man who killed her parents?
These are all safe to eat.
You seem rather composed, but does Do Ha...
also feel calm?
I am curious.
Do Ha was your enemy, who took your parents' lives,
yet he offered his life to you.
Did you end up giving your heart to the man who killed your parents?
I am not crazy enough to neglect my duty as their daughter.
The only reason I am staying here is...
to punish my enemy with my own hands.
Do not say such nonsense.
Your duty as their daughter?
Do you think Do Ha began to defy me...
because of me...
or you?
If he dares to defy me, it means he is willing to die.
I will get your revenge,
so just make sure you marry him in peace tomorrow.
Do Ha will fight in a war the day after...
your consummation of marriage.
What do you mean?
The upcoming battle with Baekje will be a rather big one.
In that war,
Do Ha must die in glory...
for me,
So Ri Bu!
It does not matter if I marry you or not.
Is death the only thing that awaits you, Master?
I will make sure...
I return to you alive.
Ri Ta.
If...
both you and my men fail to kill Do Ha,
I will let him live.
As long as you are alive,
Do Ha...
will not be able to defy me.
Do you not think so, my daughter-in-law?
Thank you...
for coming into my life, my daughter-in-law.
Thank you for celebrating, Father.
It's a rosary made with lotus seeds.
It will protect you from all evil things...
of this world.
As of now...
and forever,
you are...
my...
only wife,
even if death do us part.
How can this happen to someone like Mr. Han?
I am not sure...
if this is the right time for me to give this to you.
But please open the glove compartment.
- This? - Yes.
What is this?
Mr. Han said it was for you.
He asked me to pick it up.
But...
he can't give it to you now.
That was why I mentioned it instead.
He tried to find a bracelet just like the one you had,
the one that broke when you saved Jun O.
He looked for one himself and ordered it too.
How did you get this?
It was on the ground on the scene of the accident.
It looked like it belonged to you.
Are you saying my bracelet had been protecting me?
Most of the time, it protects its owner...
from evil energy or spirits.
It can also cover the eyes and ears to see such things.
I did not know...
how that precious amulet ended up in my hands,
but items that contain strong wishes...
always end up finding their rightful owners.
It's a rosary made with lotus seeds.
It will protect you from all evil things...
of this world.
It's the same.
Did the lotus seed from 1,500 years ago found its way to me?
Sir, wait.
She came here for you.
Who's here for me?
It doesn't matter what you ask.
I won't be able to provide any answers.
That is...
I had a dream.
It was a lotus seed...
handed by someone who wanted to protect his love.
And his wish had transcended 1,500 years and came to me.
I need to know how this is all possible.
What is this connection from my past life?
Why does it have an impact on me now?
Do I have karma from my past life, which I am unaware of?
You still only ask questions that I cannot answer.
I know that too.
I have had visions of the master since when I was young...
and dreamed about my past life too.
I also know I'm under a curse and will die at 30.
I know you can't do anything to resolve these problems.
But at the very least, I need to know the reason.
What did I do so wrong in my past life...
that made me and people around me tormented like this?
Do you believe your past life and this life are...
completely different?
Of course.
I am Kang Young Hwa, not the woman from the past.
What about the feelings you harbour for that poltergeist?
What?
Perhaps everything that is happening to you now...
may be a chance...
for you to be freed from this endless karma.
What do you mean?
Karma is a question thrown at you in every single life.
Therefore, I do not have the answer...
you need to find.
Take courage, face your sin,
and look into your heart.
That is where the answer lies.
A third figure was...
entangled in our curse, and I was unaware of that?
That is impossible.
Even if that was the case, I could not have missed it.
(Situation Room)
Yes, hello. You know me, right?
We have a business to take care of.
Please give us some privacy.
Let's go.
You must be alarmed. It's all right.
Are you okay?
We're running out of time, so find it in a hurry.
That man, Seok Chul Hwan,
met with Han Min O here, right?
I did call a meeting on that day,
but I didn't know things would blow up like this.
Find it.
You.
Who are you?
What about the feelings you harbour for that poltergeist?
Perhaps everything that is happening to you now...
may be a chance...
for you to be freed from this endless karma.
The feelings I have for you.
When I was about to die,
I regretted...
not having told you that I couldn't leave you yet.
I...
like you.
Do you believe your past life and this life are...
completely different?
Ms. Kang Young Hwa.
You recognize me this time, right?
We often run into each other by coincidence.
Because the connection we made in our past life...
could not end that easily.
What?
It is just like...
how your tragic tragedy repeats itself...
the moment you give your heart to Do Ha.
("Like the Moon in the Day" by Zia)
(Moon in the Day)
Han Ri Ta!
Confirm the scar you made with your two hands.
Did it hurt a lot...
when you died?
Where is Seok Chul Hwan?
He's not an easy fight.
Do Ha brought everything upon himself.
I will protect you.
I killed you...
with my two hands.
