(The Bride of Habaek)
(Episode 12)
Ha Baek.
Nak Bin was going to be used as a sacrificial offering.
Human sacrifice.
It's what foolish humans used to do.
But Ha Baek fell in love with the human offering given to us.
Can we say that he was more foolish than humans?
The King of the Land of the Sky had a vain dream...
of breaking the rules of the divine realm and building a new order.
He thought he could achieve it by stealing Ha Baek's powers.
Ha Baek.
He promised Ha Baek's woman an eternal life,
and that foolish woman gladly promised him she'd betray Ha Baek.
Hence, she fooled Ha Baek...
and handed over the curse to him.
Do you think she ended up gaining an eternal life she longed for?
The sun will go down soon.
Nak Bin.
Ha Baek.
Queen Mother...
wants to kill you.
She wants to use your blood...
to break the curse you brought upon us.
The eternal life you've been desperately coveting...
will be given to you along with death.
Neither nirvana nor reincarnation...
will be allowed.
Help me. Please.
Spare me my life, Ha Baek. Please.
I will...
never forgive you.
I came to tell you this.
Ha Baek, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
Please, Ha Baek. I didn't know.
I had no idea that it was a curse.
I did it out of love.
I wanted to be with you forever.
I love you, Ha Baek. I love you...
Please. I love you.
Ha Baek.
Please don't kill me...
Please!
No! Please!
No...
Ha Baek. Ha Baek! Help me!
Ha Baek. Ha Baek, please help me.
Ha Baek. Please don't kill me!
Please spare me my life...
But the girl's life...
was not enough to appease Queen Mother.
Queen Mother wanted the girl's brother and his son's lives too.
Please spare our lives.
The brother begged.
Queen Mother asked him what he could give her instead.
The foolish man promised his descendants would serve her.
That's ridiculous.
What does that have to do with me?
Let's say my ancestor betrayed his country,
killed someone, or stole something a thousand years ago.
What does that have to do with me?
Am I supposed to feel guilty for what she did?
Too bad. You can only feel guilty...
when you feel like you did something wrong.
I can't seem to relate to that story at all.
You sure are foolish.
You don't seem to understand.
What did Moo Ra say?
Why do you look so serious?
Let's eat.
It's dinner time.
How can you guys always show up around dinner time?
Gosh, it's gone bad.
What should I do?
Should we have cup noodles?
What did...
Moo Ra say?
She didn't say much.
She told me your old love story.
It wasn't that interesting.
Sit down.
- Nak Bin... - Yes, Nak Bin.
That was her name.
I knew it. The story about Shim was made up.
The woman you loved betrayed you,
and she was punished.
Her brother made a stupid promise,
and he is my ancestor.
Am I supposed to be responsible...
for what my ancestor did 1,200 years ago?
Isn't that ridiculous?
I'm dumbfounded.
What is it that you really want to say?
Go back...
to where you belong.
Go back.
Please leave this house as soon as possible.
I'll decide when I'll leave.
You did nothing.
Persuade him by all means.
When the woman you loved...
was dying,
you did nothing.
You sure are foolish.
You don't seem to understand.
I'm not telling you to feel guilty.
I'm asking you to let Ha Baek go.
Let him go.
I know you know that much.
I hate to admit this,
but I have to.
That jerk...
is in love with you.
Do you understand?
He'll go back anyway.
But he's hesitating.
He's not on his own.
Ha Baek is everything to Land of Water,
and Land of Water to Ha Baek.
As you said, he has to go back anyway.
Do you know what the irony is?
If he's not the king,
Ha Baek would be nothing.
That means Ha Baek will go back no matter how much he hesitates.
Then everything's fine.
Let him go before he hurts himself.
While he's still strong enough,
let him go back.
After losing Nak Bin,
he punished himself. I don't want to see that again.
Please.
Don't hold him back...
like Nak Bin did.
I wish I could cry.
Like you said,
I wish I could get drunk.
I wish I could do...
all those stupid things humans do.
I'm so angry.
I can't stand it.
I confirmed to her...
that he's in love with her.
You didn't have to.
Why did that have to be...
the only way I could send him back?
You did what you had to.
You don't have to be angry...
or regret anything.
I'll hug you.
If you'd let me,
I could beat Ha Baek up.
Don't you dare.
I knew it.
Soo Ri.
Wake up, Soo Ri.
- Where were you yesterday? - Here and there.
Were your feelings hurt because I worked...
to get a gift for the servant?
Pardon me? Well...
Yes, I was really upset.
I'm sorry.
You drive the duck boat during the day in the scorching heat...
and work as a delivery guy at night while battling mosquitoes.
I know that you're doing all of that to serve me well.
Even though I'm strong and healthy, all I do is take warm baths...
and enjoy the food, books,
and fruit juice you get me.
All I do is eat and drink.
I'm well aware of it.
No, no. Please forgive my grave sin, My Lord.
You weren't actually expecting me to say such things, were you?
No, My Lord.
Then go tell the servant...
that we should have breakfast.
Pardon? Sure, right away.
That was a good meal.
Give me your phone.
Take care of them for us.
I heard that the service needs to be canceled.
The newspaper too.
Please also get rid of my clothes and books.
What do you mean, My Lord?
Call Soo Ri's boss at the duck boat tour company too.
Don't stay out late.
I heard there's a light...
that turns on automatically when it gets dark.
Get it for your door.
And don't eat cup noodles all the time.
Try to make yourself proper food even if you're not a good cook.
Also, don't clean the house once every million years.
Try to clean often.
It'll be easier that way.
For the streetlight in the alley,
I heard you can submit a complaint when it's not working.
Even if it feels like a hassle, it's better than walking in the dark.
Just submit a complaint.
You like doing things like that.
Well...
- Soo Ri. - Yes?
Give us some privacy.
Sure.
I told you it shows on your face when you lie. Do you remember?
But this time, I couldn't tell.
I realized that you want me to leave more than anything else.
I told you that I'm your deity...
and bluffed that I'd protect you.
It embarrasses me.
Why did I make a promise I wouldn't be able to keep?
I regret it.
I want to ask you if I can leave...
and if you'd be okay.
I want to ask you how you really feel,
but you'd probably be okay because I've done nothing for you.
I'll be fine.
Like you said, you've done nothing for me.
Your absence won't even be noticeable.
I'll be a bit lonely, but it'll be fine.
I told you. I'm good at enduring things because I'm a minor.
All right, then.
- Are you going to leave today? - I'll leave now.
Then I'll give you a ride to Gangwon Province.
No, it's okay.
Let's just part ways here.
Let's go, Soo Ri.
Yes, My Lord.
Take care, Ms. Descendant.
Lord Joo Dong told me to wait for him.
Goodbye.
Farewell.
You need a stand-in for the reporter?
What's it about?
The sailfin... Catching the sailfin sandfish?
I'm prone to severe seasickness though.
I can't be on a small fishing boat. That's right.
You don't want to do it?
No, that's not what I meant.
Gosh, I'm so disappointed.
Okay, I'll do it.
Instead, you have to make sure that I look very pretty in it.
All right. I'll see you tomorrow, then. Bye.
- What? - Tell him you don't want to do it.
What do you even know?
If I'm that choosy, I won't be able to make a name for myself.
- Give me your phone. - Hey, what are you doing now?
- Hey, Ja Ya. - Hello.
I'm Ja Ya's manager. You can call me Mr. Min.
- All right. What can I do for you? - Mr. Kwon.
If Ja Ya gets on the boat,
you'll need to clean as soon as she gets on. Will you be okay with it?
- I have to clean? - That's right.
She'll definitely throw up.
She'll vomit nonstop.
Forget catching fish.
You'll have to turn the boat around as she won't be able to function.
Let's cancel it, then.
You want to cancel it?
I apologize.
Please let us know if there's another good opportunity. Thanks.
- It's been canceled. - What?
Okay, thanks.
I have to deliver some juice. I should get going.
Stay still.
Stop moving!
What's wrong? Is it acting up?
Shall I get you a new one? A mannequin, perhaps?
How about something that looks like Brad Pitt?
Is there one?
Yes.
I know you like handsome guys.
Could it not be working because that guy is not your type?
Should we try that?
I don't really want to though.
Why are you laughing?
Do you really believe...
that will solve the problem?
The problem is you, you stupid.
There's nothing wrong with the actors.
The problem is you.
You scare them instead of making them fall in love with you.
I'll freeze your tongue...
Let's say the actor did this.
"Don't you dare kiss me."
"I'll freeze your tongue and crush it."
If that's the message the actor gets, would he want to kiss you?
What...
Good. That's how you do it. Okay?
Close your mouth. You're not shooting an adult movie.
I've been too easy on you these days.
Let me know whenever you need someone to practice with.
I'd be better than a mannequin.
Yes.
Fine.
I'll do it.
Has the kissing scene been scheduled?
The penalty didn't do it?
Humans are like that.
When their pride is hurt, money can't do anything.
So Ah is the same.
As soon as Ha Baek left, she returned the car.
How is she holding up?
Goodness. Stop there.
He's full of energy.
You dropped it. Good job.
Let me carry you.
You're so innocent.
I'm sorry.
No problem.
His soul is so pure.
- Bye. - Bye.
Bye. See you.
See you.
I'm so tired.
- He's so cute. - Why are you so happy?
I'm exhausted.
Isn't he cute?
You're so negative.
He's so energetic.
I got a call from the bank that we're qualified for the loan.
It's thanks to Mr. Ma's father.
Really? That's so great.
Contact Mr. Bang as soon as we receive the money.
Have you told him we'll pay more deposit?
Yes.
The contract has already expired, but he said he'd wait.
Okay.
So many good things are happening. We have more patients now too.
We have just one more patient.
Why are you manic these days?
You're negative about everything.
Isn't that mine?
Yes. You seemed to have a lot.
So I took a few.
I think I should take some supplements from now on.
I should put my health before anything else.
I should be healthy if I want to go to Vanuatu.
Buy some for yourself. Why did you steal mine?
What? I stole yours?
Why are you so obsessed with these?
It's because it was Mr. Ma's present for me.
Get out.
Hi.
So Ah, did you ask Ji Won to set you up with someone?
- Yes. - What?
Why is she telling everyone?
Right. I asked her to.
I forgot. My goodness.
This is so funny.
I'm sorry.
Why are you so shocked that I'm going on a blind date?
I'm fine.
I knew it. It was nothing.
I thought I'd suffer a lot.
If I had known it'd be so easy, I would have had more fun with him.
It's a shame.
You don't understand?
Do you know why there is not much romance in crime dramas?
It's because they're too busy.
They have so many urgent problems.
They're too busy solving problems. They don't have time for romance.
Do you see what I'm getting at?
My life is in another genre than romance.
- What I'm trying to say is... - Fine!
I get it.
You're embarrassing me.
I'm so happy you broke up with him.
But I couldn't say I'm happy to see that you're not crying.
Why? I'm a psychiatrist too.
Also, romance is a genre too.
But you're a quack.
You used to brag about how good you are at enduring pain.
I have to go back. I have an appointment with a patient.
I'm disappointed in Soo Ri too.
I should have made a move.
She said it wouldn't take long. She'll be here soon.
Okay.
Well... You don't need to worry about me.
When Doctor Yoon finds a good partner,
I'll go my way. I should get married too.
All right.
The irony is that we hurt her a lot.
Her father was too busy taking care of us.
It's true she wasn't treated fairly.
She got bullied at school.
Kids would say she smelled like a beggar...
and tell her to get lost.
She hasn't told you about all this yet?
I'm sorry. I thought she had already told you everything.
Be nicer to her.
Stop her from going on a blind date.
Is she going on a blind date?
You're here.
It's too late for me to apologize for what happened last time, right?
It's okay. I should apologize too.
I surprised you, right?
Did you have a bad dream?
Yes.
Is it related to your sleep disorder?
Yes.
As I said, you should try to think about something else.
But I guess it's not easy.
Why don't we try this?
You said something happened that reminded you of the past.
Can you tell me about it?
Is it too difficult?
I met people I didn't want to meet.
Who are they?
They want to lock me up in my past.
- Can you elaborate? - They criticize me.
They remind me...
of what I used to be.
Your unhappy past...
is not something to be criticized.
No one can change their past.
Is there anything else?
You don't want to talk about it today?
Then we can't do anything more today.
- I'm sorry. - It's okay.
Let's take our time.
But...
you should trust me more.
Let's have dinner together.
Sorry?
I don't usually have dinner with my patients...
Don't read too much into it. Just have dinner with me.
Otherwise, both of us will have dinner alone.
We never get hungry. Why do you want to eat like humans do?
"Life itself is the proper binge,"
said a human called Julia something.
We're not humans.
You said you wished you could do all the things humans do.
I'm still angry. Do you know that?
- Sorry? - There are hard feelings left.
I just wanted to have dinner with you. Why did you push me away?
Well...
How do you form a friendship?
- Sorry? - You know what?
I know your financial situation.
I also know how to tease you.
I know how thoughtful you are,
and you're also very considerate even though you act like you're not.
You'd rather bear losses yourself.
I know that enduring things is your hobby and specialty.
I also know whom you like...
and why your heart is broken.
I didn't intend it, but I learned about your childhood too.
I even know your address and your social security number.
Oh, sorry. I have a photographic memory.
I didn't obtain all the information through stalking you.
You told me everything yourself.
You also know a lot about me.
You've consoled me and encouraged me.
All right. How can friendship grow from here?
Are you saying we should become friends?
Don't you think we can be friends now?
I'm rich. I also have a healthy mindset.
I'm commonsensical, polite, hard-working,
and handsome. I grow trees too. I think I'm pretty awesome.
You're starting to hurt my pride.
It's not like I'm asking you to marry me.
All I want is friendship.
Do I really have to list all of these things?
Don't cause trouble. Let's just leave.
There's a restaurant I know. Let's go there.
Jin Geon, take her home.
Do you really not know why he's being like that?
That can't be.
You know, don't you?
Why on earth do you never talk?
Let's go. Come on.
Do you know that I'm still a little mad at you?
Sorry?
The hard feelings are still there.
I'm picky too.
It's not like I ask everyone to be my friend.
I'm sorry. You really hold a grudge, don't you?
I have something to say to you too.
You want me to be your friend, yet you can't trust me.
I'm your psychiatrist and friend,
but your sessions are going nowhere. How will you explain it?
Is it because you can't trust me as a psychiatrist?
- That's not why. - Okay.
I can't force you to trust me. I'll make more effort instead.
And this doll is so pretty.
I'm going to go home.
May I take that?
Isn't it cute? My friend and I designed it together.
It came with cups as a set, but the cups have been sold.
- How much... - I'll pay.
What are you doing?
I'm getting you a gift to celebrate our friendship.
I'm too old to get a plush toy as a gift.
- How much is it? - It's 45 dollars.
Hello?
Okay. I'll leave right away.
It looks like I should get going. Something came up at the hotel.
I had a great time today.
I'm sorry I can't drive you home.
Get home safely. I'll see you soon.
(Ha Baek, Yoon So Ah)
Where... What is this place?
- Don't you remember? - Remember what?
Why are you reading it by yourself?
You're being so stingy with just reading the first sentence.
I'll tell you to stop...
if I don't like what I hear.
I know it's embarrassing to read something out loud.
"How did we meet?"
"One day, a butterfly flew like a petal..."
"and made a small flutter."
Once, I read the page of the book you used to read...
aloud to myself.
Once, I sat on the chair you used to sit on...
and closed my eyes in order to feel...
your warmth.
Once, I even caressed the rim of the cup you used to use...
with my fingertips.
"How did we..."
"manage to walk past all those times together?"
"Were we able to reach love..."
"because we walked past such lovable moments?"
- "An inevitable miracle." - "An inevitable miracle."
"I didn't want to think that..."
"we met by a mere coincidence."
"So..."
"the only thing I can do is to do my best..."
You can stop reading. Let's go eat now.
I'll read the rest myself.
"To love you."
"At the moment, I am..."
"passing through your love."
Why can't you do it for me?
I want to continue seeing you.
You can just prepare the medication yourself.
Why did he complain about such a thing?
Mr. Shin called earlier...
and suggested sending the employees here directly from now on.
- That will be nice. - See?
He's the only one who understands you.
How does the afternoon look?
You have one appointment with Mr. Ma.
You said you were okay.
But you don't seem okay at all.
You kept talking about the winner, the minor, and the loser.
It serves you right for making it hard for me to understand.
You seem as though you drank a lot,
and is suffering from a hangover.
That's not possible.
- I'm the one who dumped you. - You did,
but it feels like it's the other way around, doesn't it?
You're probably hating me for not being able to catch your lie.
Do you get it now?
It's impossible to not hurt anyone.
Just like how the one who's loved by everyone is the worst person.
Try looking at the identity of that mysterious number you adore.
A lot of people...
live certain moments as if that day is going to be their last day.
Those people know that they need to live today in order to see tomorrow.
They don't fear that tomorrow won't be the same as today.
I'm talking about those people who believe that they can...
live the rest of their lives with the memory they've collected today.
Isn't that much wiser than to look for an imaginary number to...
prevent everyone from getting hurt?
You said the square of an imaginary number ends up being less than zero.
You're not even human.
Why do you never have an umbrella? You'll go bald.
Yeom Mi.
What?
I guess she's still in love with that Water Demon.
My gosh.
What's up?
Come see me if you have time.
Yes, Ha Baek went back.
Did our servant tell you?
What a funny woman.
What did she want in exchange?
Did she want consolation? An alternative?
I wouldn't be asking you if I heard this from So Ah.
Fine.
I came because I also have something to say.
Please look after her. No, don't look after her.
Yes.
Just make her yours. You can have her.
The servant of deities, my foot.
We don't need her, and we don't care about her.
Gosh, this is so annoying.
I don't have a complex about being nice.
- Are you trying to be responsible? - That's not what it is.
You may not believe me,
but I don't think humans deserve to become miserable because of deities.
- So... - Then shouldn't you tell me...
to make her happy...
rather than tell me to just have her?
It doesn't matter what you do. Just help her forget about Ha Baek.
That's not something I can easily do.
Give it a try.
You were planning on doing that anyway.
And please get married to her.
Stay by her side until she dies.
Make sure no other man can even think about being with her.
That's the only way our relationship with her will end.
This useless relationship must end for her own good too.
I want you to help her.
What is it now?
You surprised me.
Why do you always show up...
without making any noise?
- How much is your monthly pay? - Why do you want to know?
I'll pay you 1.5 times your wage if you become my manager.
Really? I don't need that money.
I'll make it double.
Okay, okay. Sit down.
Then just keep being a good friend like you've always been.
Do you really want counseling from me?
Are you being serious?
You said you'll do it if I pay you.
If you're being serious, there's something you need to do beforehand.
What's that?
- Treat me with respect. - What?
My gosh.
What kind of nonsense is that?
Don't you want counseling?
Forget it then.
Wait. Hey, how old are you?
From what I know, we're of the same age.
Then I can't treat you with respect. I was born in January.
I was born on January 1, 12:01am.
- Why? - What do you mean?
Don't you want counseling?
Forget it then.
Sir!
Fine, I'll treat you with respect.
Okay, then. What is it that you want to talk to me about?
You didn't give me proper advice about what happened last time.
Why do you think Mr. Shin hugged me from the back?
I wasn't mistaken.
He's continuing to act like a bad boy.
Now that we've decided to do this properly,
I'll be responsible and give you proper advice.
Mr. Shin is in love with your school friend, Ms. Yoon So Ah.
So you should just drink some ice cold water and come to your senses.
- What? - I made it clear for you, didn't I?
This is why girls at church always ask me for advice.
Grandpa, kick her out of your building. Kick her out right now!
You can't kick her out?
If you don't, I'm going to go back to the States.
I'm going to live with Mom.
I'm going to abandon you!
Why did you ask me to come? I'm busy.
Go back outside, and come in again.
What?
Why?
My gosh, I don't know. I should've just gone for it then.
What are you saying? Why did you ask me to come?
I never foresaw your future for you, have I?
Tell me your date and time of birth.
My gosh, don't bother.
Come on. It's because you keep appearing in my dreams.
I was born in... Wait a moment.
Who's this?
What's up? Is there a patient?
Doctor Yoon.
Why? What's wrong?
- Just take it out. - Please leave it there.
Just do as I say!
What are you doing right now?
"Your contract for this place expired a long time ago."
"I can't overlook this anymore. I will not!"
That's what the chairman said.
"I'm an old man who lives off of the building's monthly rent."
"My life is being threatened because of..."
"this wicked tenant." That's what he also said.
What are you saying? I said I'll pay more deposit money.
Didn't you tell him that we're going to pay him today?
I did, but he suddenly said he wants us out of here today no matter what.
Just leave it there!
What kind of nonsense is this?
Don't take that out!
By the way, I heard that...
this was all decided by the chairman's granddaughter,
Ms. Shin Ja Ya,
who's also known as the actual person with power.
Ms. Shin Ja Ya.
What?
What did you say? Shin Ja Ya?
Take your filthy hands off of everything right now.
Mr. Ma.
Put everything back to where it was. Don't move anything.
Hey, you! Put that back.
Mr. Ma, it's okay. It's nothing serious.
Don't get worked up. Just wait for us outside.
Don't touch anything!
Who says you can kick her out of this building?
I told you not to touch anything!
- Who do you think you are? - I told you not to touch anything!
- Mr. Ma! - Don't touch anything!
- Mr. Ma, stop! - Calm down!
- Mr. Ma! - You punk!
Get out of here!
Be quiet!
He's a patient.
He has trouble controlling his emotions.
I'm his doctor. I'll take responsibility.
Please let him go home first.
We weren't able to investigate anything because he's making a fuss.
How can we let him go home?
Let's talk when his guardian gets here.
Excuse me, sir.
I really didn't hit a single punch.
He was also involved in the assault,
so both of you are going to have to come to an agreement.
His guardian is on a business trip abroad.
It'll take some time for someone else to come.
How dare you make my hospital close down?
How do you even call yourself human?
You ruthless jerk! You're...
Please be quiet!
Ms. Yoon.
Mr. Shin, I'm in here!
- We'll be all right now. - Hello.
Don't worry about these two.
You should just focus on dealing with the aftermath. Thank you.
I'll call you.
- Can I hold your arm? - Pardon?
You look like you're about to collapse.
It's okay.
Why did Nurse Yoo have to do such a useless thing?
You should be thankful for what he did.
You should give him a raise.
I laughed a little after I got your call.
I noticed that you don't have a wide range of acquaintances just like me.
Why did you have to be so difficult when I asked you to be my friend?
How does it feel?
It's comfortable to have a rich friend, right?
Do you want something to drink?
- I want to go home and rest. - Okay, then.
Get in. I'll drive you home.
It's not too far from here. I'll just walk.
The cool breeze will help me wake up.
Okay.
Instead, I'm going to call you to check if you got home safely.
Thank you so much for today.
Bye.
(Mr. Shin of Beriwon Resort)
Hello?
Are you home yet?
No, not yet.
I knew it.
You said it was nearby.
I walked slowly.
I'll have to call you again then.
I didn't know this, but I found out that the granddaughter...
of the building's owner is the girl who used to hate me in school.
I really have no interest in her at all.
I wonder why she hates me so much.
We have a lot in common.
Pardon?
I'm also suffering from those kinds of people.
What are you going to do about the clinic?
I'll either have to meet the owner and beg him to change his mind,
or go see his granddaughter...
and beg her instead.
Do you want me to go with you?
I know how to threaten people too.
What?
Should I just buy that building?
Because I also have some money.
I'm being serious.
I told you to come home early.
You really don't listen to me.

Ha Baek's back.
I came to say goodbye properly.
I want to love you with no regrets.
She's Ha Baek's woman. I was one step too late.
It's war from now on.
If you can't win her heart,
then just take it by force.
Why do you keep pretending like you don't know how I feel?
Is this a dream or is this real?
If this is a dream, I hope I don't wake up.
I'll wait for you. I'm good at that.
Step away from her. I can't bear to watch you do this.
- Did you forget? - No way.
- I'm capable of... - I thought I was mistaken.
killing you.
