Goblin (쓸쓸하고 찬란하神-도깨비)

When a powerful desire dwells in an object

that has either been touched by mortal souls or has blood on it,

it becomes a goblin.

A sword smeared with blood from countless battles...

was enchanted with a powerful desire bedewed with its master's blood.

Only the bride of the Goblin will be able to draw the sword.

Once it's drawn, he will cease to exist, and be at peace.

Some malicious oracle it was.

When goblins are brought back as immortals,

they come to this world and can be found everywhere, but nowhere.

Even now, they can be...

What are you laughing about, you brat?

"The Goblin is looking for its bride,

which happens to be me." Is that it?

I may not look like it, but back in the day I was very popular.

Don't be surprised if I'm not here the next time you come around.

I envy you.

I must be going senile.

I shouldn't say that in front of a single mother.

You're mean.

How many times did I give you a discount on my vegetables?

When was I ever mean to you?

The jerk who left you is the mean one.

That's true.

That's a sad story, by the way.

What's there to be sad about?

It's a romantic yet tragic curse.

Having to look for a bride in order to die.

The Almighty is evil.

He has always been that way.

He's selfish, envious,

and very self-centered.

That sounds just like someone I know.

I should go now. Have a good day.

Make sure to be here the next time I come.

At a moment of life and death,

make a wish with a powerful desire.

Who knows?

A soft-hearted god who hears it might grant you that wish.

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

If you run away from home now, you'll be even more miserable.

-You'll never see your mom again. -Who are you?

-Are you Korean? -It's more complicated than that.

It's your turn now.

Tell him with a loud and clear voice.

"You adopted me, so that makes you my father. Take good care of me."

Ask your mom for help as well.

-Tell her it hurts. -What's this nonsense?

-Get out of my way. -Slitting your wrist like that

won't ever kill you but it'll handicap you.

-Who are you? -Look him in the eyes and say it.

Can you do that?

And if he beats me to death? Will you take responsibility?

That's why I broke his ribs for you.

This is your lunch. Go to school after you talk to him.

The answer to question 17 on your math test is 4, not 2.

That's the only one you get wrong.

Who on earth are you?

He is...

the water, the fire, the wind,

the light, and the dark.

And he was once...

a human.

People considered him...

a god.

He was covered in red blood

as he attacked the enemy.

He was truly a divine warrior.

-Long live the General! -Long live the General!

It's the victorious General!

-Long live the General! -Long live the General!

Open the gates!

Here comes the victorious general, Kim Shin!

Kim Shin, take off your gear and receive the royal command.

How dare you?

Try saying that again.

How dare a low-ranking soldier like you call the general's name?

Kim Shin, the rebel leader.

-Take off your gear-- -How dare you?

I heard you the first time.

Wait.

Are you satisfied?

You have committed high treason. Lay down your sword, kneel down,

and receive the royal command.

I shall cut off your tongue!

How could he commit high treason? Are you insane?

Have you lost your mind?

General.

You have committed high treason. Lay down your sword, kneel down...

I will meet His Majesty. Step aside.

-Kim Shin, you-- -If you try to stop me, you'll die.

Step aside.

How dare you?

We have fought three days and three nights in His Majesty's name.

We have just returned from the very pits of hell itself.

How dare you treat us like this?

Open up the gates.

Stay here.

I will be back soon.

Your Majesty reigns over his people,

and a god reigns over you.

They say that this god is Kim Shin.

The news of his victory dazzles your people,

and his power is a continuous threat to the royal family.

You must punish him strictly according to the law.

Although he saw

the enemies' swords that were aimed at him,

he did not see the young King's jealousy and fear towards him.

He did not realize

that it was the sharpest sword

which threatened his life.

Do you really have to go this far?

That's why you should come no more.

Stop.

Whatever it may be, just stop.

If you stop now and die as a rebel,

I will let everyone else live.

However, if you take another step,

I will kill everyone

and lay their bodies before you for each step you take.

Go, General.

I am...

fine.

But...

-Your Highness, I-- -I know.

I truly understand.

If this is the end,

then it shall be my destiny.

You should go.

Do not stop. Take your step towards His Majesty.

This is treason. Kill everyone in his family.

This is my command!

Stop.

What are you doing? Make him kneel down.

General!

Your Majesty.

How can you do this?

Aren't you afraid of the Almighty?

The Almighty was never on your side to begin with.

The glaring eyes of the criminal are troubling His Majesty.

Behead the criminal.

The task is not yours.

General.

General.

I'd like you...

to take care of my end.

I shall follow your order.

Please forgive me.

I will follow you soon.

No one shall retrieve the traitor's dead body.

Leave it in the fields so that wild animals can feed on it.

When his body appeases their hunger,

his only worth will be realized.

This is His Majesty's orders!

-General! -Goodness, what do we do now?

Bless his soul.

-Please bring him back to life. -Please.

Oh, Lord...

Bless the general's soul.

-General. -Please.

Do not pray to anyone.

No one is listening.

At noon,

when the sun shone the brightest,

he was killed

by his own King's sword.

SEOUL, 1998

You little idiot.

Are you blind?

Do you want to die?

What on earth...

What are you?

A boar.

What?

You just hit a boar.

Are you all right?

Should I call the police?

I hit a boar.

I mean...

A boar popped out of nowhere.

A boar? In the middle of a city?

Look at that.

Look.

There's a person.

What happened?

Hello. Is this 911?

I'm at the Yeoksam Intersection.

I think there's a dead woman inside a car trunk.

I'm not sure, but she's not moving.

I'm not sure if she died from the collision.

Please come here as soon as possible.

Why am I there?

-It's the Yeoksam Intersection. -Why am I there?

"Hwang Mi-young, 25 years old.

Born on April 3, 1973.

Time of death is 8:32 a.m., February 1st, 1998.

The cause of death is suffocation."

This is you, right?

Drink it.

It'll remove your memories from this life.
