Tale of the Nine Tailed 1938 (Gumihodyeon 1938 / 구미호뎐1938)

TALE OF THE NINE TAILED 1938

That's good, give me more.

Hey, drink up.

That's not it!

Hey, come here!

Want to try it? Drink it.

You can drink it.

Cheers.

Why? Hey, you.

What is it? What's wrong?

Do you hate me?

Just do it!

What's this?

You'd like to buy her for the night?

So, you're the Madame?

Talking to her is like talking to a wall.

You speak Korean very well.

That's because I've spent many nights with Joseon bitches.

And tonight, it'll be her.

They're not prostitutes.

They are artists.

If I say I'll be paying,

you'd better sell art and your bodies too.

And if we don't?

Then, there will be a hole in her head.

How about me?

If you'll have me, instead of that girl.

Wow. Amazing!

How much are you worth?

Even better. I'm free.

You're a cheap one, huh?

Strip her.

Yes, sir.

On one condition.

A condition?

If you defeat me in a drinking contest,

do whatever you'd like with me.

You're an interesting bitch. If I win, I'll have you…

and I'll take this wrist too.

-If it pleases you, sir. -On one condition.

I will set the rules.

Goodness, eat slowly.

EPISODE 3

You have quite the colorful life, huh?

You only just got here, but you already got drafted, hired,

and even robbed?

Please buy me a gun.

What for? You've always been afraid of guns, no?

I'm going to fight for independence.

We are here…

on a mission to protect the era we're from.

Catch the red-white mask,

find the Guardian Stone, and return safely.

-That's our mission. -But still--

If you insist on fighting, don't think about returning home.

Stay here and take responsibility.

Humans in this era are risking their bloody lives fighting.

Are you sure we can go back?

We must.

They don't even have Wi-Fi here.

No mint chocolate either.

Nor my Ji-ah.

But you have Lord Lee Rang here.

Hey, I saw him almost die as soon as I got here.

I thought my heart would explode.

But you saved him.

I hope he does well without me.

But he's playing boss of some bandit gang.

I don't know if I could leave him behind.

When are you going to tell him?

Tell him what?

That I'll disappear after a month?

You have to give him time to accept that you're not here to stay.

Oh, dear.

-Eat up. -What if she loses?

-Gosh, what should we do? -Oh, no. This is bad.

Rang.

Rang.

Goodness, what do we do?

Shouldn't we stop her?

Let's begin!

Oh, no.

She might die doing this!

What do we do?

Incompetent fools.

I'm okay. I can still drink.

Get me a jar.

Hey! Bring us a jar!

Oh, my! Oh, wow!

Yeah. That's more like it, Ryu Hong-joo.

But where did this punk go? Rang? Rang!

Your men are so weak.

Can they even do a man's deed properly?

You wretched geisha!

It's broken.

Will you give it to me?

Gosh.

You bitch, next time I'll definitely--

Who are you?

You like the gayageum , no?

You're alive. You're alive in this era.

I will never give up on you.

Plus, the answer to your question can also be found in here.

He is Lee Yeon…

And yet, he's not.

Then what is he?

A mermaid?

I'll show you how to tie it.

What's this? A circus?

What's with the tail?

Shut up!

Hear, hear!

Do it!

Shall we see if that's a real tail?

-What the hell! -Be quiet, will you?

Damn it!

-You're a real mermaid, aren't you? -A half-blood. Father's a human fisherman.

-And you're here because? -I want to become a singer.

Whether you become a singer or a spectacle,

just do one or the other.

Hold on!

This is my scale.

-If you ever need me-- -I don't need it.

Take it.

I said no need.

Goodbye.

The tie suits you well.

Why did you do all that, for someone like me?

Because I only distinguish the world into two categories.

Those on my side, and those who are not.

I'll either risk my life to protect, or risk my life to destroy.

You're the first person.

The first person to treat gisaengs like human beings.

Did you cry earlier?

No, I didn't cry until the end.

Just as you taught me not to, Madame.

Good job.

-Are you full? -Not even.

I drank so much without a snack, my stomach feels empty.

Shall I grill some neobiani for you?

Where can he be at this hour?

Gosh, that brat.

Aren't you sleeping?

-What've you been up to? -I was drinking. Why?

Your new curfew is 10 p.m.

Crazy fool.

I don't trust you.

Who is there?

You must be the gatekeeper.

You reek of blood.

As a descendant of the Siberian tiger,

how can you covet such impious things?

Because I am impious.

Go back.

All that's left in that jar

is resentment and regret.

That's also what's left inside of me.

The seal hasn't been broken in over 500 years.

But today…

it will be broken.

Take this!

That's enough, sir.

My stove's boiling nurungji, so I better go before it burns.

Strike him!

It's a fire.

You poor little thing.

Go.

Show Lee Yeon your pretty eyes.

What do you want?

This?

It must be special to you.

Where are you?

Where are you?

Found you.

Look at me.

Look at me.

Why did you do it? Why did you break your promise? Why?

-What? What's going on? -Someone is in our room.

I don't see anyone. Did you have a dream?

I'm sure someone was here.

What? Who was here?

I don't know.

I don't know what it is, but…

I feel like I saw something I shouldn't have.

Gosh.

Look who it is.

What are you doing here, Master?

Because I own this place.

Oh, no wonder. I-- I couldn't sleep well last night.

How dare you run from me to go serve Lee Yeon?

-You tried to kill me! -I told you to stay out of my sight, no?

Come here! Koo Shin-ju!

No. Everything that comes into my forest is mine.

Koo Shin-ju.

Mark my words.

Next time I see you,

consider your arms and legs gone.

Please have mercy!

Let's start with a beating.

No! No!
