Kokdu: Season of Deity (꼭두의 계절)

Even though it's hard, you should eat this.

Here, eat this.

At this rate, will I be able to hold on until spring?

Come in.

Gak Shin.

You're not one to be sad, miserable, or have regret.

You're more someone who would chide, rebuke, and persecute.

Keep being mean to Ok Shin

for the rest of your life.

That is most like you.

Well, Master Kokdu, why do you talk like you're about to leave?

Ok Shin, everything about you is bad, but your lack of awareness is the worst.

Because you make me laugh,

and make me want to keep living.

Then...

you could just live for a bit longer before leaving.

I mean, it's cold out, so why don't you go when the weather gets warmer...

The better the weather is,

the more I would want to live.

I would just feel worse about it.

Hey, you should try talking to him.

He listens to you a bit, at least.

Say something instead of just crying!

Ok Shin, it's you who should listen to Gak Shin.

I can't bear to leave because I worry about how mean

you'll be to Gak Shin and how much you'll upset her.

Still,

thank you.

Master Kokdu...

While I was alive, I kept complaining about how lonely I was,

but if I didn't have you guys, even complaining like that would have been a waste of breath.

I thought I would feel a sense of freedom when I left,

but I don't feel light at all, perhaps because I've received so much.

Now, I should hope that you guys will forget about everything and be happy,

but I plan to be selfish to the very end,

so I hope that at least my family wouldn't forget me.

Even when the good memories make you sad and hurt,

do not lose to it,

and remember me.

When I, the old moon, pass,

you will slowly be filled with light again.

Although the old moon will come again even after the full moon,

I pray that you will overcome it

with time on your side.

I love you...

I love you.

I love you.

What a nice phrase it is...

The words, "I love you..."

I thought the world would end.

I thought it would pause as if it was dead

to mourn the death of a god

who served as death for a thousand years.

I thought he would at least

see the fruits of glory through his death like that.

However...

Death, tears, and glory

were all up to me to handle.

Kokdu, come back.

You said you would come whenever I call for you.

Futile expectations,

familiar disappointments,

and hopeless days

were all mine alone to handle.

She doesn't eat or sleep.

Gosh, at this rate, a perfectly living person is going to die.

Gosh, this won't do. I'm going to need to step in.

Don't. Whatever it is, don't do any of it.

Hey, listen to me.

No. What did Master Kokdu say?

Don't listen to yourself, but only listen to what I say.

Dr. Han. You need to come out for a moment.

Later.

Someone that you need to meet

is here.

Kokdu...

Kokdu!

Dr. Han.

Okay. Tell her.

Hello.

A handsome ahjussi told me to give this to you.

Mom.

- Are you helping Mommy? - Yeah.

Let's give these flowers some water.

Can I help you with something?

Yeah.

You should help me for quite a long time.

He said you should raise it well.

Goodbye.

Hey.

Master Kokdu is very considerate.

By giving you this flower, he's telling you to think that this flower is him

and take care of it as if you were taking care of him.

So, Dr. Han,

you should also eat and get some sleep.

The owner needs to be well in order for this to grow well, too.

I don't have any talent for helping things flourish.

- Only in killing things. - What?

It's to the extent that my nickname was the destroyer.

I couldn't even raise a cactus,

and any computers or phones that entered my hands broke.

You all saw it.

I was so good at killing things

that I even killed a god.

Is he saying I should be sorry as I look at this?

Shouldn't he do whatever it is to help me forget him?

Why is he making me remember him?

Why is he always so cruel!

Why would she keep sitting by that table all day if she hated remembering him so much?

Why do women act so differently from how they feel? I don't understand them.

Women don't have any mind to understand you, either.

But at least that's a relief.

What is?

Since she's alive.

Everything alive gives off heat.

That's why I'm saying it's a relief, you dummy!

What are you saying?

Han Gye Jeol, who was dead, got angry for the first time.

Once she gets angry like that and gets some blood coursing through her veins,

she will be able to continue on with her life.

Just go away already!

If it seems like there's nobody home, just leave!

For how long is it?

Excuse me?

For how long

did the handsome ahjussi ask you to do this?

For five years.

Then,

you don't have to come anymore.

Excuse me?

Oh, you don't like the flower?

Is it because it's not pretty?

No...

the flower is fine.

I just don't like this.

But can't you just take it?

My mom says that she used up all the money that the Ahjussi gave her to get a room.

So we can't give that money back right now.

After five years, I'll be able to start working, so...

I'm not asking you to give that money back.

That handsome ahjussi

would probably not want that, either.

You just have to not send the flowers.

My heart would feel

more comfortable, and your body would be more comfortable.

What do you think?

I came to work,

not to beg for money.

Oh, well, that's not what I meant...

I'm sorry.

I didn't think that through enough. I'm really sorry.

Well,

what is your name?

Why do you ask for my name?

If I'm going to be seeing you

every day for the next five years,

I thought I should at least know your name.

It's Se Joon. Park Se Joon.

I look forward to seeing you, Se Joon.

Okay.

Goodbye.

What you were telling me to raise

was not a flower, I see.

On December 13, 2018,

the witness broke the brake of victim Park Nam Soo's car,

and the next day, Park Nam Soo died in a car accident.

Is that right?

Yes.

On February 3, 2019,

is it true that you broke into victim Lee Young Joo's house,

turned on the stove,

and made it seem like an accidental fire?

Yes, that's right.

I will ask you one final question.

Who was the one who ordered you

to commit all these murders?

It was the Chairman Kim Pil Soo of Pilseong Bio.

Tae Joong Shik!

You dare...

You dare to bite me?

Your Honor,

for charges of inciting the murder of multiple people,

fraud and breach of trust under the Additional Punishment Law on Specific Crimes,

and violation of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act,

the prosecution requests the death penalty for defendant Kim Pil Soo.

You went through a lot.

I'm proud of you, my younger brother.

What do you mean, hard work? Brother-in-law did everything.

Right.

The hard work was done by your brother-in-law, and you got applause.

So you must never forget what Kokdu did for you. You know that, right?

Of course, I know. I wouldn't be Han Cheol but a grasshopper if I didn't know that.

Grasshopper?

Don't you know the saying that a grasshopper is also one season*?

Now you're laughing a bit.

I should laugh.

Someone said that the god of happiness is stupid

so they can't distinguish whether someone is laughing sincerely or falsely.

So they give blessings if someone is just laughing.

- What are you doing? - Gosh,
