Kokdu: Season of Deity (꼭두의 계절)

I will protect you, Seol Hee.

Sir Oh Hyun.

I knew it.

You are Seol Hee.

Is that why I waited for you?

Tied by that one promise to protect you...

When you never once looked for me throughout those long years.

There must have been a reason why I loved you.

But it was already burnt to a crisp by the dry heat...

of the road to the afterlife.

My heart doesn't even flutter for you anymore.

Love is...

so futile.

Kokdu.

Am I dead?

What?

I was sure I had fallen into the sea.

Then I suddenly saw you.

Is this what they call your life flashing before your eyes?

Is the rise and ruin of my life...

flashing before my eyes like a panorama?

Which part do you play in my life?

Are you the ruin?

Who are you calling the ruin?

Then are you the collapse? - What, collapse?

You can't even tell life and death apart.

Where is the doctor who deals with the life and death of patients?

Tell me the truth.

You don't have a doctor's license, do you? You're a quack, right?

Is that really you, Kokdu?

Why are you being like this?

Are there some leftover emotions or something?

Gosh.

Hey, Han Gye Jeol. Do you like me?

All of a sudden?

If this was the afterlife, you'd be seeing who you want to see the most.

It could be the person you've been missing the most,

or it could be the person you want to kill the most.

Whether it's love or hate,

am I the person you want to see the most?

No way.

That's why you're not dead.

Congratulations. You got to stay in this infernal world.

Thank you so much...

for letting me stay in this infernal world for a long time.

Let's get going now.

Let's go to the hospital or wherever.

It was you, wasn't it?

The one who saved me on the stairs that day.

That was you, right?

On those stairs,

you dropped this ring too.

You said before that you didn't know what this ring was.

You were going on about how you didn't know even if you did.

Back then, I wanted not to know even if I did.

I didn't want to get involved with you ever again.

If you can control whether to be involved with someone or not,

then that's not fate.

I felt pathetic for being swayed by you,

and I was angry that I had twisted my own fate too.

But those, too, were Lord Deity's plan.

Let's go together.

I doubt the path Lord Deity prepared is just a mire.

There must be flowers and butterflies, too.

I'm okay, so can't you put me down now?

People keep looking at us.

You should worry about who will carry you,

not who will look at you.

What did you pig out on?

I gain weight just by drinking water, okay?

Nobody has such a physical constitution.

Place your hand on your chest...

and think of what you gobbled down.

It wasn't my chest I was talking about.

Your heart is beating too fast, Kokdu.

The curse will end soon, so why wouldn't it?

Meeting Seol Hee must be...

making it pound with joy.

By the way, how did that happen?

Why did you fall into the water?

Oh, listen.

I was waiting at the lighthouse...

when a man attacked me.

What?

Who was he? - I don't know.

What did he look like? You must have seen his face.

He was wearing a mask.

So you couldn't?

You should've! Only then can I beat him up.

Well, it's not like I didn't on purpose.

I'll start with the neighbourhood thugs.

Beating them up one by one will eventually lead me to that guy.

Didn't you say thugs always appear in such a place?

You knew, and yet you went up there alone?

What was there to see? Do you feel no fear?

"Do you feel no fear?"

Do you know who got me into this mess?

Who was it?

Should I beat him first?

What a great idea.

Please. I dearly hope you do.

Why would you hope for it so dearly?

Don't tell me he's...

No, it wasn't me.

Tell me who broke our promise and didn't show up.

It was me?

This...

I replied?

The meat you grill is really the best, Oksin.

You should've realized that sooner.

Sir Kokdu.

Where have you been without telling us?

What?

What is it? Why are you doing this?

Han Gye Jeol got into an accident while waiting for me.

She almost died.

There was an accident at the lighthouse?

So it was you.

You laid your hands on my phone, Gaksin.

Why on earth did you do that?

Well...

Where's my answer?

Gaksin.

I'm thinking of slowly changing...

the pillars of Jeondeungsa Temple's main building.

How about I cut your limbs into pieces?

They look perfect for the pillar.

What do you think?

You have no idea?

It was me. I did it.

You?

Why?

You told me Han Gye Jeol was not Seol Hee.

But she kept clinging onto you.

So to make her come to her senses, I had you stand her up.

Shouldn't you praise me for getting that leech off of you?

But what?

"Cut your limbs into pieces?"

Goodness.

He's right.

You said Han Gye Jeol was an eyesore...

and wanted her to disappear for eternity.

Well, you see...

Hurry up and put these away, will you?

Darn it.

Gosh.

Can't you tell how loyal we are?

By any chance,

have you already fallen for Han Gye Jeol?

Fallen for who? Han Gye Jeol? No way.

Good gracious.

I thought humans were those who got lost in pleasure...

and wasted their time away.

But no, I was wrong.

It was the deity.

Hooked on messing around with a human girl,

this deity has forgotten about his curse and is wasting time.

Messing around, my foot.

You don't know how a deity thinks, you demi-deity.

Yes, I don't.

But tell me. Do your thoughts even run deep?

Han Gye Jeol was that woman. That was why I did it.

Pardon? - What do you mean?

Han Gye Jeol.

She's Seol Hee.

Goodness.

How dare you laugh?

She was Seol Hee, then she wasn't.

And now she is Seol Hee.

What is wrong with you?

You know what?

Just be frank with us. Tell us you want to date her.

Look at you. Aren't you a deity?

For goodness' sake.

It was Oh Hyun.

What's that?

My name that Seol Hee called.

Does that mean...

Yes. We kissed.

I saw her previous life.

Then what are you waiting for?

What do you mean?

Here it is.

What do you think?

You're telling me to propose to her?

Oksin.

The one who needs to make the confession is her, not me.

You really know nothing.

Women never confess first.

It'd be awkward if they get turned down.

In short, they're smart and would never take a loss.

So you should propose to her first, Sir Kokdu.

Cake, bam! Ring, bam!

And a confession, bam!

She'll be moved to tears...

and won't stop crying.

Drunk with the mood,

Han Gye Jeol will end up confessing.

Forget it.

They say it's better not to do anything than to make a lame attack.
