You're not Gyeon-U. You're Bong-su.
Seong-A, you're scaring me.
Bong-su.
What happened to Gyeon-U?
Where is Gyeon-U?
Tell me how I can take over his body completely.
Get him tarnished by blood.
Just draw blood
while around a ghost.
It'll be perfect if it's a Suicide Ghost.
I'm sorry.
I need Newly-Dead to draw blood.
Seong-A, we should go.
Wait.
Hey.
You said you'd protect her.
You can't let her go to a Suicide Ghost by herself.
-Hey. -No, don't!
Let go!
Gyeon-U.
Gyeon-U!
Gyeon-U. Are you okay?
Yeah.
I'm okay.
That's a relief.
But…
You don't seem well.
What?
Oh, you're right.
You want my bike?
Yeah, just for the day.
Seong-A's not well, and I want to take her home.
Really? Then I'll take her home.
No…
Just a moment, Seong-A.
-Hey! -Damn it.
Hand it over when I ask nicely.
-Kicking doesn't count as asking nicely. -Oh, whatever!
Give me the bike!
Stop it, Bong-su.
Gyeon-U, let's keep holding hands.
Ji-ho.
Bong-su's way worse than you think he is.
We don't know what he might do, so hand it over to me…
I mean, to him.
Bye.
Right.
I'm a massive pushover.
Let's go.
Bong-su.
Where is Gyeon-U?
I…
devoured him.
You said you'd curse me.
You need an item of mine to do that, remember?
An item?
I keep drinking,
so why don't I feel drunk?
My poor friend.
Don't pity me, friend.
What are you doing? Looking for something?
What did you do with the silver ring?
Did you return it to the owner?
Why do you even care? It's not even yours.
How does it feel
to have full control over Newly-Dead's body?
Not so loud. She's asleep.
Are you going somewhere? Why are you dressed up?
I'll be back soon.
What does that even mean?
Don't come back.
Don't.
What is she plotting this time?
I wonder.
Will you just let her be?
For now.
I must know where she's flying to
before setting a trap.
This Maetoe belonged to Mount Gokma's Shaman Park.
Why do you want to smash a haunted object so urgently?
That was really hard to get.
You know how the rich are always short on time.
Let me see. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight…
Thank you so much.
Do you need anything else, madam?
No. Good job.
I see you reconciled with Dongcheon.
That's hers.
You bought it for her here ten years ago.
Mom.
This is just for you.
Right?
Butterflies suit you better.
Let's have a look.
You look so pretty, Mom.
You two were so adorable then.
Oh, my goodness. What's this?
Why put a goblin's face in a field of butterflies?
Dongcheon did this, didn't she?
My goodness…
She really doesn't know fashion.
The goblin's face is said to ward off evil.
There must've been a ghost she wanted to ward off.
Probably…
a Butterfly Ghost.
I know I did wrong.
But I don't want to give it back.
Who told me how to take it?
Yeomhwa did. It's obvious what she's up to.
She wants to kill Gyeon-U and turn me into an evil deity.
But to do that,
she needed me to claim Gyeon-U's body.
So she told me right away.
But that's all there is, okay?
I really am not in league with her.
I want to live as a human.
Oh, what should we do about Yeomhwa?
We'll stop her.
I've stopped her once already.
I was actually tied to an object, not the abandoned house.
As soon as she heard I'd taken over this body,
she came to ask me where the object was.
I didn't tell her. Then she just changed the topic.
I did use a pretty scary tone.
When I want to scare someone, I'm do it properly.
I don't want to be an evil deity. Do you now get where I stand?
Say something, you old shaman.
A haunted object.
She was looking for that?
Yeomhwa
is looking for an object that was haunted by Bong-su.
She plans to smash it
and summon the Grim Reaper.
Since Bong-su is refusing to leave Gyeon-U's body,
she's trying to force Gyeon-U to the other side.
What should we do, then?
We must protect Bong-su.
What about Gyeon-U?
If the Grim Reaper gets him,
Gyeon-U will be gone forever.
Protecting Bong-su is the way to protect Gyeon-U.
Is there any other way? Is there anything else we can do?
He said he wanted to live as a human…
and stay by your side.
That's why he took Gyeon-U's body.
To me, it sounded like
he wants to be loved.
Try to really understand his cry for love.
Don't just hate him blindly.
My dear daughter. What is it that we shamans do?
We console spirits.
That's right.
Rites and amulets are a means.
What's really important is in the heart.
If you console a wounded heart,
the rest will fall into place as meant to be.
But still,
that will take so long.
But that's the right path to follow.
Hey.
How is that thing going? I mean, finding a name.
Did you find it?
Why do you suddenly care?
Did the old shaman say something?
She just told me
to be kind to you.
She said you should survive for Gyeon-U to live.
So you'll be kind to me?
Yeah.
How, exactly?
How will you be kind to me?
I won't make you feel lonely.
Loneliness can turn anyone into a ghost.
Gyeon-U, I'll get things back to normal.
Until then,
please stay safe.
Hello?
Is anyone there?
I don't know where I am,
and there's no path.
Is someone crying?
Hey.
What are you doing? Everyone's watching.
You said you'd be kind to me.
Are they dating?
This is amazing. It's like a sticky rice cake.
You said you'd be kind to me.
The perfect height to rest my chin.
I like it.
Are you two dating?
No, it's one-sided on my part. It's unrequited love.
What are you even talking about?
Hey.
Is Bong-su rubbing off on you from being around him all the time?
Get off her. Why are you acting like Bong-su?
Because I'm Bong-su.
What?
What part did you not get? I'm Bong-su, punk.
That's not fair.
What about Gyeon-U? What about his life?
Losing all senses to a ghost is very rare.
Consoling Bong-su should be the priority.
I'll start the 100-day prayer today.
It takes that long?
There's no guarantee that will work either.
If 100 days aren't enough, I'll pray for another 200 or 300.
I'll pray for and console him until he moves on.
I can't wait that long.
Hey. Get back inside when I ask nicely. Bring Gyeon-U back out.
How is this asking nicely when you're pinning me here?
Cut it out!
Enough fooling around.
Let me off.
We're partners, after all.
What?
I like you guys.
I like the shaman.
I want to stay with her.
But when I reach out to hold her,
Gyeon-U comes back.
Let's go home, Seong-A.
I can't help her up when she falls down.
And even when she cries,
I can't wipe away her tears.
That's been…
so painful.
Very.
Should I offer to pray with her for 100 days?
-Here we go! -Like that will work.
Okay!
Sa-rang, you're pathetic. You lost.
-You didn't stand a chance. -I let you win.
-No. -I let you off.
Hey.
Why? What?
-Where's Seong-A? -What about Seong-A?
I just…
Will you thank her for me
for telling me about Bok-i?
Why are you asking me…
Tell her yourself. I'm not in the mood to talk right now.
I'm depressed.
I'm sad.
Hey! Don't pick on my friend!
What was that?
-That was Ju-seung. -What?
Are you crazy?
We're friends.
-Where is he? -Who are you talking about?
That Hwamok High guy from last time.
Hey!
Who's that?
-Isn't that him? -Come on.
What are you up to?
Can you throw a punch?
Hey.
-Hey, no, wait! -Don't!
Okay, fine.
-You darn-- -Stop it.
-Grab him! -My gosh!
Why are you grabbing me? Why stop me?
-Keep him here. -Let go! Come at me!
Guys.
Why did you stop me earlier?
I can fight.
They can fight too.
Why did you let them beat you up?
Jin-ung can't get into trouble right now.
Why not?
If he gets in trouble, they'll call his parents.
He can't see his mom at the moment.
Did she threaten to disown him?
Don't.
I must stay away
to protect my mom
from my dad.
Let's go.
Let's go home.
-Hey. -What?
Why are you back so late?
I had lots to do. I was busy.
You look very pretty today, as always.
Don't be silly. Go back to the room.
Wait.
What's this? Is it blood?
Yeah. I got into a fight.
You did what?
Hey, you can't fight in Gyeon-U's body. Don't you know athletes shouldn't fight?
-If you were to get hurt-- -I won't fight.
Shaman, do you know something?
Know what?
You are
pretty even when you're angry.
Why you…
Hey!
He's so annoying.
Where did he go this time?
He's hard at work early in the morning.
-What's this? -Were you at archery practice?
Yes, I should train hard.
Archery's everything to Bae Gyeon-U, and he's damn good at it.
Move. I'm exhausted.
Hey.
Give me that.
How dare you help my girlfriend?
-Hey. -Hang on.
Hey.
Why? What?
Just take this.
Hey, I'm serious. It's so tasty.
-This is just… -What's wrong with him?
Hey, thanks a lot.
He says this is tasty.
He got that excited over a lollipop?
-He's like a kid. -It's way nicer than yesterday's!
What?
It's so good. So sweet.
You did get beaten up.
What? No way. I was man enough to let them hit me.
-Like a real man. -Guys, stop arguing.
Let's arm-wrestle instead.
-Come on. -Arm-wrestling? Okay.
Hey, partner. Get over here and be the referee.
What for?
You're the referee.
-We play on three. -Okay.
One, two, three.
Gyeon-U has changed, hasn't he?
Yeah. He's become pretty charming.
He looks more at ease.
I'd like to be his friend.
Shall we ask him out to coin karaoke?
Why would you make him uncomfortable when he's just starting to loosen up?
Gyeon-U, do you want to go to coin karaoke with me?
Sure.
What's the occasion, Gyeon-U?
-Great. -Not you.
-Not me? -You'll come too?
-I'll… -Let's just go.
-Later on. -Why on earth…
Everyone…
seems to prefer
Bong-su over Gyeon-U.
You're wasting your time there. Geez.
The face is the same, so how are they so different?
Because they're different people.
It's not that I dislike Bong-su.
But he does stuff that Gyeon-U would never do.
It's exhilarating, but…
Oh, dear. He's growing on you.
But…
No one knows that Gyeon-U isn't Gyeon-U.
Only I know that.
What if Gyeon-U fades away?
What if he disappears from the world?
I miss him so much.
You can bring him forth and meet him.
How can I see him when he's not here?
Call on him during the Hour of the Ox.
-What? -That's the hour of ghosts.
The Hour of the Ox.
Gyeon-U.
Gyeon-U. It's time to wake up.
Gyeon-U.
Who's there?
Who are you?
Show yourself.
Yoon-bo.
It's me.
Hey.
Yoon-bo.
Are you okay? You aren't hurt, are you?
Gyeon-U.
Seong-A.
Gyeon-U.
Just now…
I was in a mountain. What happened?
That must have been a memory.
A soul without a body resides in memories.
So you want me to befriend the soldiers
and listen to their stories?
It's Bong-su's memory,
so one of them must be Bong-su.
Right?
Yeah. We must find out why Bong-su couldn't cross over
and became a ghost.
Only then it'll be easier to find a way to console his soul.
I'll give it a go.
The Hour of the Ox is over.
Hang in there.
I'll be back soon.
Okay.
I'll be waiting.
Lie down.
Hello.
Guys?
Befriending them won't be so easy.
The evil spirit definitely has the silver ring.
How do I get it from him?
You took every one of the amulets I wrote.
Where are you, you witch? I'll come to you.
What's the evil spirit up to?
Is he all you care about?
He's having the time of his life, and the others are stressed out.
Heaven and Earth Fairy is having a breakdown.
She even forgot she could summon a ghost at the Hour of the Ox.
You reminded her, so she must've summoned him.
I guess? But why do you ask?
She hung up on me.
Yes.
It's the heart
that I must stir.
Gyeon-U!
Come here.
You'll enter the trial to get on the national team!
Jeez, cut it out.
What? The national team?
You'll compete with our flag on your chest and all that?
I'm not on the team just yet.
I will be soon, though.
-No way. -That's awesome.
Can I get your autograph in advance?
-Sure, give it here. -No, me first.
Sign your name right here.
I'm ticklish.
You're so cool.
You have a weird autograph.
Hey, that looks cool.
-Hey. -Hey.
-Just a moment. Hang on. -Where are you going?
THOSE WHO RISK THEIR LIVES WILL TRIUMPH
Hey.
What?
Grant me a wish if I make the national team.
A wish?
What's your wish?
What?
You and me.
You're really testing my patience here.
What? Where are you going?
I didn't say we should do it now. I just told you what my wish was.
I can't even say it?
No, you can't. Don't bring it up ever again.
That's utter nonsense.
What do you mean?
I want to have my first kiss. And I want to do it with you.
That's the one thing I desperately wish for.
What's so nonsensical about saying what I want?
I want to have my first kiss with Seong-A!
Have you lost your mind?
What's the issue? Do you want to kiss the shaman too?
Of course you do. Sorry for asking.
Do you have a death wish?
Too bad.
I'm hard to kill.
Getting revived is my specialty.
Here's what I think.
If I keep on trying,
she might care about me a little, don't you think?
I do have Gyeon-U's face and body, don't I?
FATHER
Hey, Gyeon-U.
Your father keeps calling.
My father?
Gyeon-U doesn't have a father.
I've seen her before.
She's that deadly scary shaman who only has feeble powers.
You used Gyeon-U's family?
How crafty.
Right back at you.
You have the silver ring.
Didn't you become a ghost
because you didn't get to return it to its owner?
You said you'd return it as soon as you possessed a body.
Why do you still have it?
I've been a bit busy.
I have to get on the national team.
You must be having a great time pretending to be human.
Yes, I am. It's fun.
I plan on doing this for life.
You're close to becoming an evil deity, so you're too strong.
You're unruly
and hard to control.
So I gave the matter some thought.
"It's this hard for me,
so it must be tormenting for Heaven and Earth Fairy."
Do you know that Newly-Dead can surface during the Hour of the Ox?
The Hour of the Ox?
Who surfaces then?
Bae Gyeon-U can do that?
I knew it.
You had no idea.
Now that he's the ghost, the Hour of the Ox is his time.
Even I wouldn't tell you that.
You're an evil spirit who stole another's body.
You could turn at any moment.
So you want to be human?
But why?
It's not like anyone would
love you if you became human.
How frightening would it be
to have something that isn't human
keep on pretending to be one by her side?
It's me.
Make me an amulet.
You're so weak you can't make an amulet yourself,
so why do you keep plotting things?
Hey.
Slow down a little, will you?
Sure, I get that.
Nothing is more important to a mom than her child.
What?
You want me to hurry up?
Okay.
I don't usually make Ghoul-Making Amulets.
What are you doing here?
It's…
It's nothing.
Let's go.
You're welcome at any time.
I'll be waiting at the shack.
Who are you?
You must have no other friends
if you're hanging out with him.
Dang, that was scary.
Who is she?
She's no one important.
Hey, wait up.
Don't you want to know how Heaven and Earth Fairy really feels?
See for yourself.
Gyeon-U.
Gyeon-U, it's time to wake up.
Gyeon-U.
What's wrong?
Why do you look so sad?
Your eyes are full of sorrow.
I can't say.
I guess I missed you a lot.
So did I.
I missed you so much too.
How is it over there? Is it okay?
Did you get to get closer to the soldiers?
Do you know which of them is Bong-su?
What's the matter?
You guys aren't close yet?
That's okay.
Still, I hope you get close to them soon
so we can find a way to help Bong-su cross over.
Once we send Bong-su off,
you can come back to where you belong.
Shaman.
Bong-su.
What's up with them?
Attention. Bow to the teacher.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
You only cheer up when the day is over.
Who wants to go to the Internet café?
-We should go. -Internet café, anyone?
-Pack up, quick. -You too.
What's going on?
What's up?
-He dragged her out. -What's going on?
Can't the school just ban dating?
I can't breathe. It's suffocating.
You'll hurt her hand.
We're here. I was about to let go.
Why are we here?
YOUNG SOULS OF HWAMOK! REST IN PEACE
The name I was looking for is right here.
Out of the two student soldiers,
I was the tall one.
And the short kid
was Jang Yoon-bo.
When Yoon-bo died,
he asked me to send home
the silver ring his mom had given him.
But I died before I could do that, and that regret has plagued me.
That's why I became a ghost.
JANG YOON-BO
Now that I've done this,
it should help me overcome my regret.
Bong-su.
My regret is resolved, so I'm done being Bong-su.
I'll live as Bae Gyeon-U.
Then what about the real Gyeon-U?
Bae Gyeon-U?
He's already a ghost who can only appear at the Hour of the Ox.
Let's go home now.
No, wait.
-Hey. -You're hurting her!
I'm hurting too.
I…
I'm hurting just the same.
Hello.
Where's the amulet?
You're too impatient.
Dear friend, do you even stop to breathe?
Why do I smell cheonggukjang?
Where's the amulet?
It's over there.
What are you doing?
Friend.
I'm sorry.
Untie me right away.
Even a daredevil like yourself should know better
than to consider summoning the Grim Reaper.
A Grim Reaper without a list is no better than a murderer.
They can kill whoever and however many they want.
Even evil spirits avoid Grim Reapers with no list.
However desperate you are, you must not do this.
So what?
What are you going to do now?
I'm going to remove that petty ghost stuck to you
pretending to be your patron deity.
I'll get rid of it.
No.
You can't.
No!
No.
Don't.
Don't do it, okay?
You can't do it. Don't!
Don't do that.
I beg of you. Please don't do it.
No. Don't do it!
It's time for you
to stop being a shaman.
Don't.
No, don't do it.
Don't!
No, don't.
Don't do it.
Don't…
I helped you out because you asked me to,
but she has gone too far.
Letting her go might be better for both you and her.
She won't come around.
I'm not holding on to her to make her come around.
Then what?
I'm copying her.
She won't give up on her child,
so how can I give up on her, my child?
I'll go as far as she goes.
Even if she crosses the line?
I'll still follow her.
She rendered me powerless yet again.
What about my baby?
Does she fear the Grim Reapers…
and evil spirits?
She's wrong there.
She should fear me the most.
I'm a mom who lost her child.
So what if I lost my patron deity?
There are random ghosts to replace it everywhere.
Can Gyeon-U really never come back?
If Bong-su decides to live as Gyeon-U,
does Gyeon-U have to give up his body without a chance to fight back?
I guess so.
I have another solution, though.
Another solution?
Other shamans can only console the spirits,
but I know how to scold them.
You'll quit archery?
What kind of nonsense is that?
I quit.
It's no fun.
What about the national team or the Olympic Games?
If you want that so badly,
train and compete yourself!
-You brat, how dare you-- -Whatever!
-Screw this! -Stop right there!
No!
Archery is Gyeon-U's dream.
Who are you to give up on his dream?
I'm Bae Gyeon-U.
Me, the person standing here is Bae Gyeon-U.
Why do you care when I'm giving up on my own dream?
You're not Gyeon-U. You're Bong-su.
Don't call me "Bong-su," damn it!
That's not my real name anyway.
You made up that name as you pleased.
I won't go by a shoddy name someone made up on the spot.
If you're not going to address me as Gyeon-U,
don't even talk to me. Got it?
I have another solution, though.
The evil spirit has this silver ring.
Bring it to me.
Then, the evil spirit will perish.
No, stop it.
Don't do that.
Don't. Stop doing that.
Move!
Why won't you let me throw out my things?
Who do you think you are?
Thank you.
What will you do with that?
You should've asked that before you gave me the ring.
Goodbye.
Wait.
Excuse me.
Hey!
Darn it.
PYO JI-HO
What's this?
Hey, Seong-A. What do I do?
I think I messed up.
Hey.
Are you okay? Bong-su.
Bong-su!
I summon you, Grim Reaper of Hell.
Vanquish all spirits wicked and evil. May it be done immediately.
I summon you, Grim Reaper of Hell.
Vanquish all spirits wicked and evil. May it be done immediately.
…Grim Reaper of Hell. Vanquish all spirits wicked and evil.
May it be done immediately.
Stop it! It hurts!
Now that she has the haunted object, Yeomhwa will summon the Grim Reaper.
Let's distract the Grim Reaper.
I'll set up a boundary and hide Bong-su's location.
Seong-A, you can go to where the ring was buried
and perform a rite.
YOUNG SOULS OF HWAMOK!
I will hide him here,
and you can protect him with a rite from over there.
We'll lure the Grim Reaper to the wrong place.
We're holding a rite to console the lost souls. Please step back.
Shoo.
BAE GYEON-U, BORN IN 2007
I summon you, Grim Reaper of Hell.

-Protect us and allow us peace. -Look.
A Grim Reaper's right there!
-Close your eyes! -Hey!
Ma'am.
I summon you, Grim Reaper of Hell. Vanquish all spirits wicked and evil.
May it be done immediately.
I summon you, Grim Reaper of Hell. Vanquish all spirits…
MUST LIVE

I summon you, Grim Reaper of Hell.
BAE GYEON-U, BORN IN 2007
May the pure sun shield us from harm. Protect us and allow us peace.
May it be done immediately.
It worked.
Let's go.
I summon you, Grim Reaper of Hell. Vanquish all spirit…
Hey!
Hey, you!
May it be done immediately.
Why…
Why should I suffer such pain?
I just want to live.
I just want to live, that's all.
"If a living person became a ghost because they hated the world
and cursed people,
fear them."
"They can use a spell to vanquish evil
to vanquish you just the same."
The one who should die
is Yeomhwa.
I summon you, Grim Reaper of Hell.
Vanquish all spirits wicked and evil.
I summon you, Grim Reaper of Hell. Vanquish all spirits wicked and evil.
May it be done immediately.
I summon you, Grim Reaper of Hell. Vanquish all spirits

Who is it?
Who is counter-cursing me?
-I summon you, Grim Reaper of Hell. -I summon you, Grim Reaper of Hell.
Who is it?
I summon you, Grim Reaper of Hell. Vanquish all spirits wicked and evil.
Something went wrong.
The Grim Reaper left.
No.
-I summon you, Grim Reaper of Hell! -I summon you, Grim Reaper of Hell!
-Vanquish all spirits… -Vanquish all spirits…
No.
I can't die like this!
I won't die like this.
I never got to see my baby.
Come to mommy.
I summon you, Grim Reaper of Hell.
Vanquish all spirits…
-May it be done immediately. -May it be done immediately.
I summon you, Grim Reaper of Hell…
The goblin's face is said to ward off evil.
"The Human Amulet method
allows a person to protect another as an amulet."
"Give something with eyes, a nose, and lips as your stand-in."
"Even if you are not there,
you can protect them."
"Even if you are not there…
you can protect them."
Mother!
No, Mother.
Why?
Why on earth did you do it?
I knew you would go all the way.
So, I decided
to wait for you at the end this time.
Why…
Why would you
cling to a wretch like me and end up like this?
Didn't I tell you
I wouldn't let you go?
Mom.
Mom!
Mom…
To eliminate the evil deity, Heaven and Earth Fairy
has to die.
She has no idea what she's doing right now.
Will you do me a favor?
Let's go on our date.
She knows.
She knows everything.
I'll come back before the graduation ceremony.
The shaman is dead.
Seong-A isn't dead.
Seong-A. Wait.
I'll come to you this time.
I'll kill her if I find her.
Would he cooperate?
Go!
Go on, Seong-A!
