My Demon (마이데몬)

THIS DRAMA IS FICTIONAL, AND IS NOT RELATED IN ANY WAY

TO ACTUAL PERSONS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS, SETTINGS, AND EVENTS

Is there such thing

as a given fate?

If there is,

is it impossible

for us to escape the frame of fate…

that repeats itself?

EPISODE 12 THE SAVIOR OF DESTRUCTION

Good morning, Young Master.

It's a beautiful day, Young Master Yi-sun.

-Good morning, Young Master. -Good morning, Young Master.

Young Master!

I used to be human.

My mere presence

was enough to inspire the entire village's love and respect.

I was that special.

Young Master!

Young Master Yi-sun!

Stop whining, will you?

Stop calling my name. You'll wear it out.

Your tutor will arrive any minute. You can't go flower-watching right now.

Your father will have a fit if he finds out.

Everyone will be happy as long as you keep quiet.

My mouth can't be kept shut.

It's structured that way.

Anyway, you can't go.

If you must go,

please don't step on me because that hurts, but step over me.

For goodness' sake!

That's even better.

I'll have the scenery all to myself.

He really stepped over me.

You snuck out without telling me!

I had no idea!

He's so stubborn, isn't he?

The best spot should be somewhere around here.

Wait!

It's cold!

My apologies for the interruption.

I came here to take a break from my studies.

Please don't be scared.

I'm not a suspicious person. My name is--

Seo Yi-sun.

Every single person in this village knows your name.

I suppose I'm quite well known in this village.

On the other hand,

I've never seen you before.

I assume you came from another village.

Otherwise, there's no way I wouldn't know a beauty like…

Then again,

I'm too occupied with my studies to converse with any ladies.

That may be why.

Is that so?

That's not what the rumors say.

What rumors?

You're a precious only son from a prestigious family.

You neglect your studies,

but your father refrains from disciplining you

since you lost your mother to an illness at a young age.

As a result, you're known to be

the most carefree loafer in the world.

You seem

very interested in me.

While you know everything about me,

I know nothing about you.

What is your name?

Young Master!

Young…

Young Master Yi-sun!

How could you just leave me…

Wait!

Why are you looking at me like that?

You got yourself another reason to neglect your studies.

-Once I set my mind to my studies-- -In any case,

she's as beautiful as people say.

Do you know who she is?

I do.

Which noble family does she come from?

She doesn't come from a noble family.

She's a government courtesan who recently moved here from Hanyang.

A courtesan?

I heard that she was well-known in Hanyang for her dance skills and intelligence.

I wonder why she moved all the way to this small village.

Was it to meet me?

What was her name again?

What is her name?

-Have a drink, my lord. -Please have a drink, my lord.

-All right then. -You look great today.

Wolsim at your service.

What?

This is unacceptable!

She is said to have been haughty in Hanyang as well.

What an insolent woman.

Wolsim.

So that's her name.

My apologies.

I came over the other day because I wanted to see you.

I apologize if I was being rude.

How exactly were you being rude?

I can't quite pinpoint it, but…

Please don't apologize if you don't know why.

Wait…

Young Master!

I know you'd rather sleep than eat,

but take a break from lazing around now and then,

or you'll ruin your health.

Who are you?

Are you still half asleep?

You've served me all your life.

But you never wake up this early.

-What happened? -Seok.

I've decided to focus on my studies starting today.

Why is that?

This is who I really am.

I'll get you some medicine.

"Xu Fan asked about benevolence."

"Confucius answered that it meant to love others."

What are you doing?

My lady!

What a coincidence!

Is it?

I was reading The Great Learning while listening to the waterfall

to appreciate nature and study at the same time.

You must be here for the same reason,

but it'd be indecent of us to be together.

So you'll have to take the spot over there.

This spot is taken.

"Xu Fan asked about wisdom."

"Confucius answered that it meant to understand others."

COMMENTARIES ON GREAT LEARNING

Do you live here or something?

I seem to focus better when I study here.

It doesn't look like you're studying,

if you ask me.

"If the cause is not right, the command is not followed."

"If the command is not followed, the work is not accomplished."

How insightful!

Don't worry.

I'll go get it.

But it's dangerous.

I've trained in swordsmanship, archery, and spearmanship for years

to strengthen my mind and body.

This should be a piece of…

A piece of cake.

I'll be right back.

But…

Don't you worry.

Young Master!

Young Master!

Stop there!

Wait for me!

Young Master!

Young Master!

Young Master Yi-sun!

Young Master!

Young Master Yi-sun!

I found it!

I, Seo Yi-sun, found it!

My lady.

Here's your shoe, my lady.

I found it.

What were you thinking?

Who cares about a shoe?

What if something bad happened?

Were you

worried about me?

Why would I worry about you?

Don't ever do this again.

Are you all right?

I've trained in swordsmanship, archery, and spearmanship…

Give me that.

No, I will do it.

Dry your clothes first.

No, I'm almost done.

Nothing beats the warmth of one's body temperature.

You'll burn my shoe.

Come on.

I'm cold.

What is Hanyang like?

I assume it's much bigger and more exciting than this village.

It is much bigger, more crowded, and noisier indeed.

So how did you end up here?

I'm sorry for being nosy.

I refused to dance for a high-ranking official.

I may be a lowly courtesan,

but I can't seem to even move a finger

when I don't feel like dancing.

After I, a lowly courtesan, declined the request of someone so powerful,

I'm thankful to even be alive.

There must have been a reason…

why you couldn't bring yourself to dance.

To think I get to enjoy seeing you dance even when an eminent man couldn't.

I don't know how to repay you.

You've already repaid me.

Have I?

It's a firefly.

I love you, Wolsim.

I thought that you felt the same way.

It's time to wake up from this dream.
