Pretty Crazy (2025) Movie Script
Scan and choose your target.
Aim with precision. Be decisive.
That's how you get what you want.
As you gain experience, your skills grow.
It's simple and clear.
But life's not a claw machine.
It's way more complicated and difficult.
Where did it all go wrong?
Mr. Lee.
- Hey!
- Are you messing with me?
If this is your best,
you better look for a new job.
How did you get in this company?
- I knew you were trouble.
- Are you an idiot?
- Do the job you are told to do.
- Fix this by tomorrow.
How did it end up like this?
Stick it out, man. If you quit, then what?
It wasn't even your fault.
No matter how much I think...
I just don't get it.
They're moving in right below me.
Where's the dad?
Over there.
Look how she bosses people around.
Don't buy from her bakery.
There's a bakery here?
She's opening one.
OPENING SOON
No, I don't get food delivered.
I pick up side dishes
to have with rice at home.
Of course, I clean the place!
I wash the blankets and clear the dust,
too.
Why do I have to send photos?
Mom, don't you trust me?
She was so beautiful.
If angels were real, they'd look like her.
More perilla seeds?
Perilla seeds?
Sprinkling perilla seeds
is your greatest worry now?
You saw that beautiful,
angelic woman and thought
"Oh, I should rush back
and sprinkle perilla seeds
on my pork backbone soup?"
What else then? Talk to her?
Perilla seeds then.
Here we go.
You did it again.
Finally.
Late! I'm late!
Gotta hurry or it'll all be gone.
Who are you?
Who the hell are you?
- Sorry.
- How dare you touch me!
PRETTY CRAZY
They're moving in right below me.
She's opening a bakery.
Wow, a new bakery...
Here you go.
Do you live here?
Wh-Why do you ask?
We're offering an opening discount
for residents.
Building 123, Unit 1401.
Okay.
Huh? 123-1401...
We live right below you.
123-1301. We just moved in yesterday.
We're neighbors! Seon Ji!
Come here. Hurry!
Seon Ji! Come out here.
What?
This is our new neighbor.
He lives upstairs in 1401.
Really? Hello!
- Hello.
- Sorry for all the noise yesterday.
I'm excited to be your neighbor.
This is paid, right? Bye.
What the...
Excuse me.
Hey!
Hey...
I've been calling you.
Last night, I...
A gift for our grand opening.
What?
See you next time then.
I don't get it.
I really don't get it.
Funny how I'm out of milk now.
Let go of me! I said let go!
Hands off me!
Let go already!
Hey, stop!
Let me go!
What the hell?
You filthy sleazeball!
What do you think you're doing?
I'm her dad.
Happy now?
Who the hell are you?
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
What's your deal?
Who are you?
Lee Gil Gu. I live here in 123-1401.
Unit 123-1401
Oh, you live above us.
Yeah.
Yeah?
You knew my daughter lived below you.
You tailed her, didn't you?
No. I didn't follow her.
I was just getting milk and
I thought she was being
attacked by a creep.
Have you seen her at night before?
No, never.
Tell the truth, or we're calling the cops.
- I have.
- Thought so.
I saw her in the elevator.
Thought she was possessed.
I thought she was drunk. She attacked me.
So, it was you, you jerk!
Stop this! Come on!
This idiot did this to my forehead.
His skull's so damn hard,
it nearly broke mine!
Okay, I hear you.
Now listen carefully. Stay away from us.
Act like you don't know us.
Everything you saw
- Let go!
- All right, all right.
Forget this ever happened, or you're dead.
- You hear me?
- Yes, sir.
- Now get lost. Go!
- I'll crush your thick skull!
- Enough already!
- I swear I'll crush it.
What a relief, she's a deep sleeper.
Yikes!
Uncle, I thought you were away tonight.
Been somewhere nice?
Just up the hill for spring water.
That's a nice get-up for a hike.
Where's the water then?
You finished it on the way back?
How'd you know?
I asked you to watch her,
but you already snuck out?
She almost got hit by
a car wandering alone.
But I locked the door
so it won't open from inside.
Maybe it's broken.
Broken?
Fine. Won't happen again.
Wait!
Sorry.
- Hey...
- Sorry about yesterday.
I was too flustered to apologize properly.
No, I mean...
Aren't you pressing the button?
14th, right?
Thank you.
Sure.
This place feels so different, right?
You'll get used to it.
The old place had three stores nearby.
Here, I gotta cross the road. I hate that.
And who insisted on moving?
Do you know what it took
for me to get a place here?
I nearly sold my soul for it.
Your soul's worth squat.
Don't you trust my gut?
This area's land value will soon...
Soon what? Rise? When?
You always say that.
Oh no.
No, no, no, no, no.
Hey, you.
Yes?
What do you do for work?
I'm on a break right now.
Hurry up and go.
It's not much, but get well soon.
Honey...
Didn't I tell you to stay away?
I happened to be taking out the trash.
"Happened," my ass.
You a professional passerby?
Sorry.
Did you bring what I asked?
Let me see.
- Why would you need-
- Hand it over.
Let's see.
RESIDENT REGISTRATION COPY
You're an only child?
- No, I have an older sister.
- All right, fine.
RESUME
Sports Science major, huh?
Your mother was the head
of the women's association here?
- Yes.
- And your dad's a high school principal?
They're in the States now, with my sister.
That's fine.
She just had a baby...
Any criminal record?
No! I'm not that kind of person.
You like sports?
Not really, but I did taekwondo.
Taekwondo?
And...
Hapkido, kendo...
Table tennis, tennis, badminton,
soccer, basketball, volleyball,
and rowing.
I rowed before the army.
But you don't specialize?
I guess not.
Did you mess up and got
fired at your last job?
No, I quit.
It wasn't right for me
to the point it was hurting.
Everyone's hurting.
The whole country's hurting.
Move aside.
Hey, Mister.
Me?
You're hurting, right? How'd you get hurt?
From work.
See? Work hurts us all.
Why are you following us?
About that...
Your daughter acts so odd every time,
like a different person.
I got curious.
Oh yeah?
It won't happen again. I'm not a creep.
Sorry.
Chin up.
Look at me.
Listen to this carefully.
Close the curtains.
My daughter's quite
different from most people.
Hard to believe, but she is...
possessed.
Listen.
She's a demon. Born with one inside her.
Every night at 2 A.M., it takes over.
Lasts about three hours.
You're the one they got?
Oh, no, no.
He's our neighbor. Nice guy.
- I'll crush your damn skull!
- He looks obedient, right?
It's just for a few days.
I'm not lying. You saw it yourself.
It's not split personality.
It's an ancient family curse.
If we don't offer up what it wants,
who knows what it'll do?
It loves moonlight.
So, it walks around at night.
Seon Ji has no idea that she's possessed.
If she finds out,
she won't be able to go on.
Did you hit your head, too?
Stop eavesdropping. Go away.
We are discussing a book.
Something for kids.
You're hurt. Go lie down.
What children's story has demons in it?
I'll get going.
Gil Gu, please. Help us.
Sir, I...
Gil Gu!
Thank you.
Sir?
Do I...
look like a demon to you?
No, not at all.
I'm not just any demon.
I'm a high-ranking one.
Could someone lowly like you
even see my horns or wings?
These wings here.
See them?
What's that smell?
Stinks like rotting wounds.
What are you searching for so desperately?
Sorry?
Hit the nail on the head? Feel ashamed?
Mad? Let it all out.
You humans are evil inside.
Show who you really are.
I don't think I can handle this.
You should take your daughter
to a specialized hospital.
She pokes at the deep stuff, right?
The things you hide away.
That's because she's a demon.
She loves messing with hearts.
If it's too much,
just protect her like a caregiver.
I'll make it worth your while.
Besides, I wouldn't trust
just anyone with my daughter.
We're neighbors, after all.
Only one wall between us.
You're a good man.
What do you do during the day?
Hi, I'm Lee Gil Gu. Nice to meet you.
I've heard about you. I'm Jung Seon Ji.
Hi, I'm Jung Ara.
Let's start your training.
Feels weird, right?
You'll get used to it in time.
It's a lot, I know. Trust me, I get it.
She really doesn't remember?
Nothing about turning into a demon.
But unlike her,
the demon remembers everything.
You still don't believe it.
How can I believe this?
Like it or not, you will.
We've never hired an outsider before.
At first, I was at a loss.
Then my quick wits came up with this plan.
What do you do for work?
I'm taking a break now.
You're jobless.
And you live upstairs. I thought, perfect.
I'll be counting on you.
Hello, I'm Lee Gil Gu. Nice to meet you.
I'm so happy to work here.
When did I say that?
I saw everything. Fool.
Is this some dumb prank?
A YouTube secret camera?
Someone filming me in hiding?
Where's the camera? See, I knew it.
Where is it?
Who do you think you are?
Who'd want to see you get punked?
Feel them. Touch them. Grab them.
What are you doing?
It's okay. Just hold them.
Go on, do it.
Please stop this.
She's asleep. This is between you and me.
Touch them. Feel them.
I think I like you.
Don't forget. It's a demon.
It'll try everything to break you.
If you give in,
it wins and it'll get stronger.
I really like you, Gil Gu.
Lies.
Bullshit!
No one falls for me that fast.
That's never happened.
I'm not falling for this.
All right.
Fonfon.
Welcome.
Welcome.
Cashier boy! See this White Fonfon Chiffon?
Only stock this from now.
And green mint chocolate...
Don't put that out.
Even demons would freak at the taste!
What are you doing?
And why talk down to me?
- What? Jeez.
- I'm really sorry.
She's my sister. She has mental issues.
Chop chop. Hurry up!
Is this your first day or something?
Move it, cashier boy!
Ugh. Seriously.
Even real demons wouldn't go that far.
I have a question.
What's a demon doing in Seon Ji's body?
Her ancestor wronged me gravely.
An unforgivable sin.
And she's bearing the punishment.
How long will it last? Forever, of course.
So, obey me completely. Otherwise...
Even I can't guarantee what I'll do to her.
No way. That's insane.
Is she kidding me?
What's with the cicada?
Okay, okay. You're a real demon.
I believe you. Please stop.
Cut the sample bread all the way like this.
What?
Nothing.
You can speak casually, too.
You do it with Ara.
It'll help us get closer.
All right. I'll do that.
Okay.
I have class now. See you later.
- Keep cutting.
- Got it.
Take care.
Okay.
You want us to get close?
Me, too.
That's all you got?
Harder.
Harder!
Why is she going around in circles?
Can you come another time?
Really? All sold out?
Look me in the eyes, cashier boy.
I said it's all gone.
I don't have long to live.
Fonfon Chiffon is my only joy left in life.
Oh bless your soul!
You dare lie to me, cashier boy?
- He's a good kid.
- Checkmate!
What?
You can switch to this look instantly?
Only top demons can do it.
You look so nice. So pretty.
These curls are coming out great.
Come on, let's go.
Here. Look at these stocks.
Pick one that will go to the moon.
Please.
In the name of the Father,
the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Come out of that body and perish!
I don't think so. Because I don't want to.
Get out, dammit!
That's enough.
Something like this?
That stuff's just in movies.
It won't work.
Will she stay like this
for the rest of her life?
I don't know.
Anyway, you need to be tougher with her.
Human or demon,
show weakness and they'll
walk all over you.
How do you manage that?
You dropped honorifics, too.
She challenged me to a bet,
probably out of boredom.
Said she'd do me any favor if I won.
Poof!
What the heck?
She still doesn't know how she lost to me.
She hasn't asked me to bet since. Idiot.
A bet that big,
and all you did was drop honorifics?
Yeah. Why?
Want to bet?
Pick a toy. I'll win in three tries.
And if you do?
You leave her. For good.
All right, all right, fine.
Then tell me how to kick you out of her.
And I drop honorifics, too?
If you lose...
I'll double the time I'm active.
That one.
No backing out.
All right. Now, please tell me.
I mean, tell me.
Tell me how to get you
out of Seon Ji's body for good.
So ugly... just like you.
Tell me.
All right, all right. I'll tell you.
Listen carefully.
Say my name and tell me
to get out of this body three times.
I'll leave right away.
That's all it takes?
Yep.
What's your name?
My name?
D...
Duh...
Don't know.
You really think I'd tell?
Just one letter, please?
NAMES OF DEMONS
MYSTERY HUNTERS FORUM:
LOOKING FOR NAMES OF DEMONS
TV SHOW: "MY BOSS, THE EXORCIST"
You're mine now.
I command you.
Leave that body and return to hell!
Back to hell!
We're now famous for bread.
Some visit just for the pastries.
All thanks to your great recipe.
I mean it.
Want something cold to drink?
What'll you have?
I'm okay.
Thank you. What do you want, Gil Gu?
Iced chocolate then. Thanks.
I'll take these boxes to the car.
Okay.
- What about you, Seon Ji?
- I'd like...
You okay? Gil Gu, are you hurt?
I'm fine.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. Are you hurt?
I'm sorry. I didn't see you.
Sorry.
You really like mint choco, huh?
Someone I know detests it.
Tasted like toothpaste at first.
But I grew to like it.
Why am I so sleepy?
Of course you are.
Didn't sleep well?
Maybe it's the dream.
I have the same one all the time.
I wander but I'm not alone.
Something's with me.
But it's not scary. How should I put it...
Feels like it protects me.
Warm. Comforting. Something like that.
Must be someone great.
Watching over you even in dreams.
It's not a person.
Feels more like a dog.
A stray that follows me. Keeps trailing me.
Can't be a dog.
A dog? A stray?
Must be all these resentful souls.
The water smells foul.
So many wandering around.
Sir, please don't.
Don't try to stop me. Nothing matters now.
We don't know what you're going through
but talk to us, please.
We'll hear you out.
Goodbye, cruel world.
I'm jumping for real.
I'll do it!
Here! Over here!
Hey! Look here!
Hey! Look at me.
Down here!
Go for it!
Just jump already.
Be brave. It won't hurt.
- It'll be over fast.
- What the...
Yes, jump! Just do it.
- What's she doing?
- Go away.
Jump! Jump!
- No!
- Back off!
Please don't jump!
Don't be brave!
It'll be over in a sec.
Just let go.
- I'm bleeding.
- Look! It's really not that hard!
What's wrong with her?
The hell?
Seon Ji! Seon Ji!
Seon Ji!
Seon Ji! Seon Ji!
I can't swim!
One, two, three!
Seon Ji!
We located her.
Crossing north.
What? Crossing the river?
What are you saying?
Don't just watch. Save her. Please!
This morning at 3 A.M.,
a woman in her 20s jumped off Gunho Bridge.
First time I've seen this
as a rescue worker.
And butterfly stroke's hard.
But her form was excellent.
I found myself cheering.
Korea's future in swimming looks bright.
You punk. How did Seon Ji
end up in the Han River?
Why?
She threw a fit. Sick of being stuck here.
You know the trouble I had
drying her hair and clothes?
I should've told you
not to get her near any waterfront.
Did Seon Ji get trained to swim?
She swam till middle school.
When she quit, the head of the association
begged on his knees.
Said Korea lost a future gold medal.
But you, punk... I trusted you with her.
You backstab me right after I'm discharged?
Well done. Really, good job.
- You're the best!
- Great job.
Gil Gu, you're awesome.
Smile, man.
I'll drop Dad off and go to class.
- Okay.
- See ya.
- Take care.
- Be safe.
Seon Ji's unbelievable.
Even after all that ruckus,
she isn't skipping classes.
French class, right?
Maybe she wants to study abroad.
Yep.
She's eyed a baking
school in France for years.
Uncle and I act supportive for now
but man,
how do we discourage her eventually?
It's like a ticking bomb.
Why are you so surprised?
What are you doing here, Gil Gu?
Huh?
Didn't know this place existed.
Good spot for a walk.
Yeah.
Gil Gu.
Yeah?
What did Dad ask of you at this hour?
Never mind. I misunderstood.
Aren't you sleepy?
Today's my mom's memorial day.
Maybe that's why I couldn't sleep.
Oh.
She passed when I was eight.
I tried to forget how she suffered.
But today, I remember her smile.
And her scent when she hugged me.
Sorry. I got all gloomy.
No. If you want to talk, I'm all ears.
I'm really good at listening.
It's one of my few talents.
Okay.
Shall we head back now?
Since we're out, shall we go a bit farther?
So, your feelings are serious.
Put your feet down or I'll whoop your ass.
Hey.
Boo!
You were lying the whole time?
"Gil Gu, what are you doing here?"
"If you want to talk, I'm all ears.
I'm really good at listening."
I played along.
You think I can't tell you apart?
You gonna stick with her forever?
Don't you feel bad for her?
She can't even sleep right.
She'll never study abroad.
Can't you stop already? Please.
Oh l l! Non, je ne vais pas!
You've never seen real pity.
I told you how you can end this.
Say my name and tell me
to leave this body three times.
I'll leave right away.
There's no other way?
Take me on the bouncy.
You mean trampoline?
Yeah. The bouncy.
If I take you, you'll leave?
Put your heart into making me happy.
If you do that,
I'll cut my time by that much.
Then who knows? Maybe one day I'll vanish.
Hold on. Let me check if there's one open.
I'll take you on the bouncy for sure.
What else? Name it.
Bouncy
Want to go to the beach?
Let's do it. Why not?
But you'll see nothing in the dark.
Then we go during the day.
During the day?
How?
I haven't been to the beach in forever.
Would've been nice with Ara.
How bad is her cold?
Just a light one. Wow, it's vast.
Seon Ji, why are you crying?
Oh, what's this?
Must be the wind.
Can you take a picture of me?
One, two, three.
Got it. Let me show you.
Only one, huh?
Have you tried this?
Apparently they're going viral.
Mint chocolate or plain. Choose one.
This is so nice.
Oh, I've been meaning to ask you...
It might sound weird but...
did we ever watch a movie?
About the movies that night...
You were lying from the start, right?
I thought you could tell us apart.
Guess not.
Today's trip to the beach...
How much time off is that?
An hour? Two?
Five minutes. I'm being generous.
Five? Just five minutes?
Did I enjoy it? No.
If anyone did, it was you.
I drove for four hours. I'm wiped out.
Cut me some slack. Give me more time off.
What's wrong?
Why is everyone so dying to get rid of me?
I said to make me happy sincerely,
not sincerely try to get rid of me.
Did you forget who I am?
Here.
Here, rinse your mouth.
Hold still.
At least dust off the dirt.
What if you get sick?
Okay, I'll make you happy sincerely.
You keep your word.
Here goes.
Hey! My throat!
Thank you.
What the hell?
This is how to have fun.
How dare you! Stop now!
- I'll show you real fun.
- Stop it! Cut it out.
This is way more fun.
Where are we?
You like flowers, don't you?
Think a demon likes this crap?
Wow. What's this?
Smile a little.
How dare you tell a demon to smile?
I thought a top-tier demon
could do anything.
Guess posing and smiling isn't one of them.
What?
That's good. Great! Gimme more.
Nice! Yes. Something else now.
No. Don't do that. Stop.
One, two, three.
See? Looks great. Like it?
That's not the real me. What's to like?
My true form is hundred
times more beautiful.
If you saw me, you'd go blind.
I had huge eyes, a sharp nose, horns.
Famous as a beautiful demon. Look!
I'd definitely go blind.
If you were that famous,
everyone must've known your name.
What did they call you?
They called me this.
Her surname is Nigh, name is Strye.
Nigh Strye! I command you!
Leave that body immediately!
I command you, Nigh Strye...
Leave that body at once.
Keep going. Three times.
Nigh Strye...
30 minutes, Gil Gu!
Well done, son.
You achieved something I couldn't
after buying her a hundred outfits.
Man, I liked you from the start.
While you're at it,
just get rid of that demon for good.
Yes, I will. I'll try.
- Good.
- She cut down 30 minutes just for that?
She really liked the bouncy.
That's where I made the biggest cut.
Let's get rid of her for good tonight.
We'll party like crazy. Let's go wild.
What's your name?
Me?
It's bum-ba-bum, Lee Hee Bum.
- Shall we?
- Go, go.
Let's go!
What's wrong with you?
Answer me! What eyeliner do you use?
It's Devil's Eye from Lily Brown.
Sorry. I'm sorry.
Stick close to me, okay?
What are you doing?
Who might you be?
I'm... her boyfriend.
Are you okay?
Why's your hand shaking so much?
Because my boyfriend's hand is so warm.
When did they get so close?
Beats me.
Ara's quirky, but she makes friends
and boyfriends easily.
Maybe it's her honesty.
What about you?
Not seeing anyone?
It takes more than just heart.
I need to say how I feel.
I tend to overthink.
Or maybe I just lack courage.
Welcome.
How much?
I'll get rid of it.
That thing attached to her.
What?
Been there longer than I thought.
She doesn't know, does she?
That thing possessing her.
I poked at it a bit and it
reacted right away.
I saw her at a cafe
and followed her for a few days.
I just couldn't ignore it.
Don't worry. I'll get rid of it for sure.
Consider yourself lucky I spotted it.
I'll get on it as quickly as possible.
There's a misunderstanding.
You're bad at lying, huh?
Excuse me?
He said he'd get rid of me, right?
How did you know that?
How many do you think
have tried to exorcise me?
If you trust him and try something stupid,
I'll devour her.
Gil Gu, I'm heading to class.
Okay.
Hey, Seon Ji.
Yeah?
Call me on your way back.
The world's scary these days.
I'll wait at the bus stop.
Okay, I'll call you.
Take care.
I told you, we've tried everything.
But they're all scammers.
Just took my money.
That guy's probably one, too.
We don't want to upset it,
let it lash out again.
It's best to slowly cut back its time
while keeping it in check.
Excuse me.
I hurt my arm.
Can you help me tie my shoes?
Sure. Just a moment.
Thank you.
This is my favorite candy.
I want to say thank you.
It's really good. You should try it.
Thanks. I'll enjoy it.
It's cold.
Son, I've been meaning to tell you.
You've worked so hard.
I'm ever so grateful for you.
I'm okay. It wasn't that hard.
Have a drink.
I have to walk with Seon Ji later.
Right.
But it's okay.
The demon can't walk long
on a night like this. Gets tired.
I really have a good eye for people.
When I met you, my first thought was...
Hey, Gil Gu. What is it?
Gil Gu!
Gil Gu!
He'll move fast.
I'll get on it as quickly as possible.
He'll wait for when I'm weakest.
Nigh Strye!
Wait, I'm feeling weak.
Like I have no strength.
It's not even the new moon.
I'll call you.
Gil Gu, what's going on?
Can you check where Seon Ji is?
- Why?
- She's not answering her phone. Hurry.
What do you mean she's not answering?
What the... Why is she so far away?
I'll bring her back.
Hey, Gil Gu!
Welcome. That candy was good, wasn't it?
Let me go. Untie me now!
Would you let go if you were me?
After all this trouble.
I'll let it slide once, so stop.
You shouldn't have caught my eyes.
Don't be scared. It won't take long.
You bastard, I won't let you get away!
Untie me now!
I said untie me!
You...
I, Young Sik, the 46th descendent,
present you the second trial.
By the power vested
in our noble family by the moon,
I destroy you here.
Seon Ji
Seon Ji!
You scared me. How did you get here?
Stay still, don't interfere.
I'm helping you.
By kidnapping her? Why go this far?
You wouldn't let me otherwise.
I need a lot of practice to get stronger.
But you're fully taken
by this stray spirit.
I'm a demon. A high-ranking one.
You've been lying to him?
Calling yourself a demon?
It's fancier than stray spirit.
You're just a brat pretending.
If I knew you were a fading spirit,
I wouldn't have gone this far.
Ow, my head...
I'm helping you. Why don't you get it?
Come at me.
Come at me, damn it.
Head.
- Head?
- Head!
Head!
You coward...
Stop faking the rant. Fight like a man.
Come at me.
Head! Head! Head! Head!
Stop! Stop! Stop!
Stop!
Head! Head!
Head! Head!
Head! Head!
Head!
Head!
Seon Ji...
It's okay now. You'll never see him again.
If you want to talk, I'm here.
I'm really good at listening.
It was a time when being alive was pain.
With constant droughts and plagues,
no house was without wailing.
I lost my father and sister
and was left alone.
One day,
a famous shaman came to the village.
Offer life, or all will perish!
She said we'd all die
if we didn't offer a sacrifice.
But there was nothing
in the village to offer.
I can't forget the look in their eyes.
That was how I died.
I had just turned twenty.
A kind family pitied me
and buried my ashes in a jar.
Inside that jar,
the pain and sorrow slowly faded.
I learned that after 100 years,
I could forget all and be at peace.
But 50 years later,
Seon Ji's great-grandma found me.
Time stopped for me.
If only I waited 50 more years
Without the jar, I had nowhere to go.
So, I entered the first person I saw.
It was my first time, but it wasn't hard.
I was full of rage
and had nothing to hold me back.
Even before I entered her body,
a life was already growing inside her.
Somehow, I entered that tiny body.
I met Seon Ji's grandma Eun Hye,
her mother Hyun Hwa,
and finally, Seon Ji.
There have been people who noticed
and approached me.
So,
I convinced Jang Su to move around often.
This area's value will soon...
Soon what? Rise? You always say that.
I'm sorry.
I was afraid I'd get found out
if we stayed in one place for long.
I was afraid what they'd do.
So, I acted wicked, like a real demon.
So, no one would harm me.
All right, I believe you!
Even at that cost,
I just wanted to be with this family.
It was a joyful, happy time.
But good things don't last.
Please.
Don't stay with Seon Ji.
Come with me instead.
I wanted to go with her.
But it wasn't an option for me.
I still had unfulfilled time.
What did that guy mean earlier?
That you'll disappear anyway.
What does that mean?
Vanishing from the world,
to wander in eternal darkness
with painful memories.
On my 1,000th full moon outside the jar,
I will vanish.
On the night the moon becomes full.
Isn't there another way?
Like going to a better
place or finding peace?
Only if I can be sealed in that jar again
with true compassion
and spend the remaining 50 years.
But it's useless.
The jar is gone. No true kindness
is left for me in this world.
I said make me happy sincerely,
not sincerely try to get rid of me.
Once I'm gone, everything will be fine.
Like nothing ever happened.
She hasn't gone out in days.
Mouth shut tight.
What happened?
What did that scammer do to her?
I'll just quietly disappear in time.
Please don't tell the family.
I don't want to bother them anymore.
Please.
What I said was everything.
Don't worry, it won't happen again.
If you say so...
Even if I hated the demon,
it feels like Seon Ji's suffering.
What did our ancestors do
to make her go through this?
If only I could take her place...
The light keeps going out.
Mr. Jung.
Is her great-grandmother's
house still around?
- Why do you ask?
- Just curious. Does it still exist?
Yeah, it's still there.
Where exactly is it?
Thank you.
Shall I give you a good push
for old times' sake?
That's enough. Let's go home.
Already? We just got out.
How about something else?
TODAY'S MOON: FULL MOON
BATTERY LOW: 0%
Hello?
Can I take this Fonfon Chiffon?
2,500 won.
Jang Su, I'm tired of this.
Get the green one instead.
Let's go.
Thank you.
Have a good one.
You're eating well. Changed your taste?
I can't get used to this.
But eating this, I have no regrets.
You can talk casually now.
I give you permission.
I can speak casually now?
I never crossed the line,
afraid of what you'd do...
But I guess it's fine now.
How many years has it been?
Oh well...
Time flies.
I used to be young, full of energy.
It's all because of you.
What is it?
Jang Su, you've been good.
This neighborhood will soon...
Just trust me.
You and Ara, too.
TO THE MOON
No word from Gil Gu yet?
He hasn't called or answered.
Where'd he go?
He said he's going far away.
Hey, Gil Gu!
You little punk, not even calling.
Sorry.
Thank God. Let's go.
What are you playing at?
You like this place.
I've been busy. Sorry.
You wondered where I was?
Did you go nuts while you went missing?
You just have to enter this jar
and spend 50 years, right?
Tell me I'm right.
It was so hard to find this.
It had old kimchi in it.
About 100 years old.
I cleaned it as best I could.
It still smells a little...
If you go in, I'll keep it safe
for 50 years, maybe even more.
Why go this far?
Do you pity me that much?
Because I hate it.
I hate you disappearing like this.
I want you to forget everything
and go to a good place.
You turn away to hide your smile,
pretend to sleep when I'm tired,
and water dead flowers...
What kind of demon does that?
If you're gonna act like a demon,
do it properly.
I want you to forget all the pain,
all the suffering
and finally be at peace.
You were lonely and hurt, weren't you?
You've been through so much.
It'll all be okay now. Don't cry.
Now, tell me your name.
Tell me your real name.
I am
My name is...
Moon Yang.
Moon Yang.
Moon Yang.
That's a pretty name.
Moon Yang, are you ready?
I command you, Moon Yang.
Leave that body and enter this jar.
I command you, Moon Yang.
Leave that body and enter this jar.
Give me a smile.
I command you, Moon Yang.
Leave that body now!
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
I command you, Moon Yang.
Leave that body and enter this jar.
Goodbye.
Goodbye, Moon Yang.
Why isn't she waking up?
- You did so well.
- Good job.
Well done, Gil Gu.
After Moon Yang left,
Seon Ji went abroad to study.
Travel safe.
- Go on.
- Take care.
Ara opened her own little shop.
She's doing great on her own.
The boss left
after selling his house and the bakery.
I'm sure it wasn't just because
he made a good profit.
And me...
I started working again.
Doing what I do best.
I'm okay. You think I'm still a child?
Not right away. I gotta make a stop.
That's for customers
spending over 10,000 won!
I want to go to the beach, too.
Stay home.
You're sick today. Just a little.
I'll take the picture.
One, two, three.
GIL GU
Hello?
Gil Gu.
Seon Ji.
How have you been?
Where are you now?
Aim with precision. Be decisive.
That's how you get what you want.
As you gain experience, your skills grow.
It's simple and clear.
But life's not a claw machine.
It's way more complicated and difficult.
Where did it all go wrong?
Mr. Lee.
- Hey!
- Are you messing with me?
If this is your best,
you better look for a new job.
How did you get in this company?
- I knew you were trouble.
- Are you an idiot?
- Do the job you are told to do.
- Fix this by tomorrow.
How did it end up like this?
Stick it out, man. If you quit, then what?
It wasn't even your fault.
No matter how much I think...
I just don't get it.
They're moving in right below me.
Where's the dad?
Over there.
Look how she bosses people around.
Don't buy from her bakery.
There's a bakery here?
She's opening one.
OPENING SOON
No, I don't get food delivered.
I pick up side dishes
to have with rice at home.
Of course, I clean the place!
I wash the blankets and clear the dust,
too.
Why do I have to send photos?
Mom, don't you trust me?
She was so beautiful.
If angels were real, they'd look like her.
More perilla seeds?
Perilla seeds?
Sprinkling perilla seeds
is your greatest worry now?
You saw that beautiful,
angelic woman and thought
"Oh, I should rush back
and sprinkle perilla seeds
on my pork backbone soup?"
What else then? Talk to her?
Perilla seeds then.
Here we go.
You did it again.
Finally.
Late! I'm late!
Gotta hurry or it'll all be gone.
Who are you?
Who the hell are you?
- Sorry.
- How dare you touch me!
PRETTY CRAZY
They're moving in right below me.
She's opening a bakery.
Wow, a new bakery...
Here you go.
Do you live here?
Wh-Why do you ask?
We're offering an opening discount
for residents.
Building 123, Unit 1401.
Okay.
Huh? 123-1401...
We live right below you.
123-1301. We just moved in yesterday.
We're neighbors! Seon Ji!
Come here. Hurry!
Seon Ji! Come out here.
What?
This is our new neighbor.
He lives upstairs in 1401.
Really? Hello!
- Hello.
- Sorry for all the noise yesterday.
I'm excited to be your neighbor.
This is paid, right? Bye.
What the...
Excuse me.
Hey!
Hey...
I've been calling you.
Last night, I...
A gift for our grand opening.
What?
See you next time then.
I don't get it.
I really don't get it.
Funny how I'm out of milk now.
Let go of me! I said let go!
Hands off me!
Let go already!
Hey, stop!
Let me go!
What the hell?
You filthy sleazeball!
What do you think you're doing?
I'm her dad.
Happy now?
Who the hell are you?
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
What's your deal?
Who are you?
Lee Gil Gu. I live here in 123-1401.
Unit 123-1401
Oh, you live above us.
Yeah.
Yeah?
You knew my daughter lived below you.
You tailed her, didn't you?
No. I didn't follow her.
I was just getting milk and
I thought she was being
attacked by a creep.
Have you seen her at night before?
No, never.
Tell the truth, or we're calling the cops.
- I have.
- Thought so.
I saw her in the elevator.
Thought she was possessed.
I thought she was drunk. She attacked me.
So, it was you, you jerk!
Stop this! Come on!
This idiot did this to my forehead.
His skull's so damn hard,
it nearly broke mine!
Okay, I hear you.
Now listen carefully. Stay away from us.
Act like you don't know us.
Everything you saw
- Let go!
- All right, all right.
Forget this ever happened, or you're dead.
- You hear me?
- Yes, sir.
- Now get lost. Go!
- I'll crush your thick skull!
- Enough already!
- I swear I'll crush it.
What a relief, she's a deep sleeper.
Yikes!
Uncle, I thought you were away tonight.
Been somewhere nice?
Just up the hill for spring water.
That's a nice get-up for a hike.
Where's the water then?
You finished it on the way back?
How'd you know?
I asked you to watch her,
but you already snuck out?
She almost got hit by
a car wandering alone.
But I locked the door
so it won't open from inside.
Maybe it's broken.
Broken?
Fine. Won't happen again.
Wait!
Sorry.
- Hey...
- Sorry about yesterday.
I was too flustered to apologize properly.
No, I mean...
Aren't you pressing the button?
14th, right?
Thank you.
Sure.
This place feels so different, right?
You'll get used to it.
The old place had three stores nearby.
Here, I gotta cross the road. I hate that.
And who insisted on moving?
Do you know what it took
for me to get a place here?
I nearly sold my soul for it.
Your soul's worth squat.
Don't you trust my gut?
This area's land value will soon...
Soon what? Rise? When?
You always say that.
Oh no.
No, no, no, no, no.
Hey, you.
Yes?
What do you do for work?
I'm on a break right now.
Hurry up and go.
It's not much, but get well soon.
Honey...
Didn't I tell you to stay away?
I happened to be taking out the trash.
"Happened," my ass.
You a professional passerby?
Sorry.
Did you bring what I asked?
Let me see.
- Why would you need-
- Hand it over.
Let's see.
RESIDENT REGISTRATION COPY
You're an only child?
- No, I have an older sister.
- All right, fine.
RESUME
Sports Science major, huh?
Your mother was the head
of the women's association here?
- Yes.
- And your dad's a high school principal?
They're in the States now, with my sister.
That's fine.
She just had a baby...
Any criminal record?
No! I'm not that kind of person.
You like sports?
Not really, but I did taekwondo.
Taekwondo?
And...
Hapkido, kendo...
Table tennis, tennis, badminton,
soccer, basketball, volleyball,
and rowing.
I rowed before the army.
But you don't specialize?
I guess not.
Did you mess up and got
fired at your last job?
No, I quit.
It wasn't right for me
to the point it was hurting.
Everyone's hurting.
The whole country's hurting.
Move aside.
Hey, Mister.
Me?
You're hurting, right? How'd you get hurt?
From work.
See? Work hurts us all.
Why are you following us?
About that...
Your daughter acts so odd every time,
like a different person.
I got curious.
Oh yeah?
It won't happen again. I'm not a creep.
Sorry.
Chin up.
Look at me.
Listen to this carefully.
Close the curtains.
My daughter's quite
different from most people.
Hard to believe, but she is...
possessed.
Listen.
She's a demon. Born with one inside her.
Every night at 2 A.M., it takes over.
Lasts about three hours.
You're the one they got?
Oh, no, no.
He's our neighbor. Nice guy.
- I'll crush your damn skull!
- He looks obedient, right?
It's just for a few days.
I'm not lying. You saw it yourself.
It's not split personality.
It's an ancient family curse.
If we don't offer up what it wants,
who knows what it'll do?
It loves moonlight.
So, it walks around at night.
Seon Ji has no idea that she's possessed.
If she finds out,
she won't be able to go on.
Did you hit your head, too?
Stop eavesdropping. Go away.
We are discussing a book.
Something for kids.
You're hurt. Go lie down.
What children's story has demons in it?
I'll get going.
Gil Gu, please. Help us.
Sir, I...
Gil Gu!
Thank you.
Sir?
Do I...
look like a demon to you?
No, not at all.
I'm not just any demon.
I'm a high-ranking one.
Could someone lowly like you
even see my horns or wings?
These wings here.
See them?
What's that smell?
Stinks like rotting wounds.
What are you searching for so desperately?
Sorry?
Hit the nail on the head? Feel ashamed?
Mad? Let it all out.
You humans are evil inside.
Show who you really are.
I don't think I can handle this.
You should take your daughter
to a specialized hospital.
She pokes at the deep stuff, right?
The things you hide away.
That's because she's a demon.
She loves messing with hearts.
If it's too much,
just protect her like a caregiver.
I'll make it worth your while.
Besides, I wouldn't trust
just anyone with my daughter.
We're neighbors, after all.
Only one wall between us.
You're a good man.
What do you do during the day?
Hi, I'm Lee Gil Gu. Nice to meet you.
I've heard about you. I'm Jung Seon Ji.
Hi, I'm Jung Ara.
Let's start your training.
Feels weird, right?
You'll get used to it in time.
It's a lot, I know. Trust me, I get it.
She really doesn't remember?
Nothing about turning into a demon.
But unlike her,
the demon remembers everything.
You still don't believe it.
How can I believe this?
Like it or not, you will.
We've never hired an outsider before.
At first, I was at a loss.
Then my quick wits came up with this plan.
What do you do for work?
I'm taking a break now.
You're jobless.
And you live upstairs. I thought, perfect.
I'll be counting on you.
Hello, I'm Lee Gil Gu. Nice to meet you.
I'm so happy to work here.
When did I say that?
I saw everything. Fool.
Is this some dumb prank?
A YouTube secret camera?
Someone filming me in hiding?
Where's the camera? See, I knew it.
Where is it?
Who do you think you are?
Who'd want to see you get punked?
Feel them. Touch them. Grab them.
What are you doing?
It's okay. Just hold them.
Go on, do it.
Please stop this.
She's asleep. This is between you and me.
Touch them. Feel them.
I think I like you.
Don't forget. It's a demon.
It'll try everything to break you.
If you give in,
it wins and it'll get stronger.
I really like you, Gil Gu.
Lies.
Bullshit!
No one falls for me that fast.
That's never happened.
I'm not falling for this.
All right.
Fonfon.
Welcome.
Welcome.
Cashier boy! See this White Fonfon Chiffon?
Only stock this from now.
And green mint chocolate...
Don't put that out.
Even demons would freak at the taste!
What are you doing?
And why talk down to me?
- What? Jeez.
- I'm really sorry.
She's my sister. She has mental issues.
Chop chop. Hurry up!
Is this your first day or something?
Move it, cashier boy!
Ugh. Seriously.
Even real demons wouldn't go that far.
I have a question.
What's a demon doing in Seon Ji's body?
Her ancestor wronged me gravely.
An unforgivable sin.
And she's bearing the punishment.
How long will it last? Forever, of course.
So, obey me completely. Otherwise...
Even I can't guarantee what I'll do to her.
No way. That's insane.
Is she kidding me?
What's with the cicada?
Okay, okay. You're a real demon.
I believe you. Please stop.
Cut the sample bread all the way like this.
What?
Nothing.
You can speak casually, too.
You do it with Ara.
It'll help us get closer.
All right. I'll do that.
Okay.
I have class now. See you later.
- Keep cutting.
- Got it.
Take care.
Okay.
You want us to get close?
Me, too.
That's all you got?
Harder.
Harder!
Why is she going around in circles?
Can you come another time?
Really? All sold out?
Look me in the eyes, cashier boy.
I said it's all gone.
I don't have long to live.
Fonfon Chiffon is my only joy left in life.
Oh bless your soul!
You dare lie to me, cashier boy?
- He's a good kid.
- Checkmate!
What?
You can switch to this look instantly?
Only top demons can do it.
You look so nice. So pretty.
These curls are coming out great.
Come on, let's go.
Here. Look at these stocks.
Pick one that will go to the moon.
Please.
In the name of the Father,
the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Come out of that body and perish!
I don't think so. Because I don't want to.
Get out, dammit!
That's enough.
Something like this?
That stuff's just in movies.
It won't work.
Will she stay like this
for the rest of her life?
I don't know.
Anyway, you need to be tougher with her.
Human or demon,
show weakness and they'll
walk all over you.
How do you manage that?
You dropped honorifics, too.
She challenged me to a bet,
probably out of boredom.
Said she'd do me any favor if I won.
Poof!
What the heck?
She still doesn't know how she lost to me.
She hasn't asked me to bet since. Idiot.
A bet that big,
and all you did was drop honorifics?
Yeah. Why?
Want to bet?
Pick a toy. I'll win in three tries.
And if you do?
You leave her. For good.
All right, all right, fine.
Then tell me how to kick you out of her.
And I drop honorifics, too?
If you lose...
I'll double the time I'm active.
That one.
No backing out.
All right. Now, please tell me.
I mean, tell me.
Tell me how to get you
out of Seon Ji's body for good.
So ugly... just like you.
Tell me.
All right, all right. I'll tell you.
Listen carefully.
Say my name and tell me
to get out of this body three times.
I'll leave right away.
That's all it takes?
Yep.
What's your name?
My name?
D...
Duh...
Don't know.
You really think I'd tell?
Just one letter, please?
NAMES OF DEMONS
MYSTERY HUNTERS FORUM:
LOOKING FOR NAMES OF DEMONS
TV SHOW: "MY BOSS, THE EXORCIST"
You're mine now.
I command you.
Leave that body and return to hell!
Back to hell!
We're now famous for bread.
Some visit just for the pastries.
All thanks to your great recipe.
I mean it.
Want something cold to drink?
What'll you have?
I'm okay.
Thank you. What do you want, Gil Gu?
Iced chocolate then. Thanks.
I'll take these boxes to the car.
Okay.
- What about you, Seon Ji?
- I'd like...
You okay? Gil Gu, are you hurt?
I'm fine.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. Are you hurt?
I'm sorry. I didn't see you.
Sorry.
You really like mint choco, huh?
Someone I know detests it.
Tasted like toothpaste at first.
But I grew to like it.
Why am I so sleepy?
Of course you are.
Didn't sleep well?
Maybe it's the dream.
I have the same one all the time.
I wander but I'm not alone.
Something's with me.
But it's not scary. How should I put it...
Feels like it protects me.
Warm. Comforting. Something like that.
Must be someone great.
Watching over you even in dreams.
It's not a person.
Feels more like a dog.
A stray that follows me. Keeps trailing me.
Can't be a dog.
A dog? A stray?
Must be all these resentful souls.
The water smells foul.
So many wandering around.
Sir, please don't.
Don't try to stop me. Nothing matters now.
We don't know what you're going through
but talk to us, please.
We'll hear you out.
Goodbye, cruel world.
I'm jumping for real.
I'll do it!
Here! Over here!
Hey! Look here!
Hey! Look at me.
Down here!
Go for it!
Just jump already.
Be brave. It won't hurt.
- It'll be over fast.
- What the...
Yes, jump! Just do it.
- What's she doing?
- Go away.
Jump! Jump!
- No!
- Back off!
Please don't jump!
Don't be brave!
It'll be over in a sec.
Just let go.
- I'm bleeding.
- Look! It's really not that hard!
What's wrong with her?
The hell?
Seon Ji! Seon Ji!
Seon Ji!
Seon Ji! Seon Ji!
I can't swim!
One, two, three!
Seon Ji!
We located her.
Crossing north.
What? Crossing the river?
What are you saying?
Don't just watch. Save her. Please!
This morning at 3 A.M.,
a woman in her 20s jumped off Gunho Bridge.
First time I've seen this
as a rescue worker.
And butterfly stroke's hard.
But her form was excellent.
I found myself cheering.
Korea's future in swimming looks bright.
You punk. How did Seon Ji
end up in the Han River?
Why?
She threw a fit. Sick of being stuck here.
You know the trouble I had
drying her hair and clothes?
I should've told you
not to get her near any waterfront.
Did Seon Ji get trained to swim?
She swam till middle school.
When she quit, the head of the association
begged on his knees.
Said Korea lost a future gold medal.
But you, punk... I trusted you with her.
You backstab me right after I'm discharged?
Well done. Really, good job.
- You're the best!
- Great job.
Gil Gu, you're awesome.
Smile, man.
I'll drop Dad off and go to class.
- Okay.
- See ya.
- Take care.
- Be safe.
Seon Ji's unbelievable.
Even after all that ruckus,
she isn't skipping classes.
French class, right?
Maybe she wants to study abroad.
Yep.
She's eyed a baking
school in France for years.
Uncle and I act supportive for now
but man,
how do we discourage her eventually?
It's like a ticking bomb.
Why are you so surprised?
What are you doing here, Gil Gu?
Huh?
Didn't know this place existed.
Good spot for a walk.
Yeah.
Gil Gu.
Yeah?
What did Dad ask of you at this hour?
Never mind. I misunderstood.
Aren't you sleepy?
Today's my mom's memorial day.
Maybe that's why I couldn't sleep.
Oh.
She passed when I was eight.
I tried to forget how she suffered.
But today, I remember her smile.
And her scent when she hugged me.
Sorry. I got all gloomy.
No. If you want to talk, I'm all ears.
I'm really good at listening.
It's one of my few talents.
Okay.
Shall we head back now?
Since we're out, shall we go a bit farther?
So, your feelings are serious.
Put your feet down or I'll whoop your ass.
Hey.
Boo!
You were lying the whole time?
"Gil Gu, what are you doing here?"
"If you want to talk, I'm all ears.
I'm really good at listening."
I played along.
You think I can't tell you apart?
You gonna stick with her forever?
Don't you feel bad for her?
She can't even sleep right.
She'll never study abroad.
Can't you stop already? Please.
Oh l l! Non, je ne vais pas!
You've never seen real pity.
I told you how you can end this.
Say my name and tell me
to leave this body three times.
I'll leave right away.
There's no other way?
Take me on the bouncy.
You mean trampoline?
Yeah. The bouncy.
If I take you, you'll leave?
Put your heart into making me happy.
If you do that,
I'll cut my time by that much.
Then who knows? Maybe one day I'll vanish.
Hold on. Let me check if there's one open.
I'll take you on the bouncy for sure.
What else? Name it.
Bouncy
Want to go to the beach?
Let's do it. Why not?
But you'll see nothing in the dark.
Then we go during the day.
During the day?
How?
I haven't been to the beach in forever.
Would've been nice with Ara.
How bad is her cold?
Just a light one. Wow, it's vast.
Seon Ji, why are you crying?
Oh, what's this?
Must be the wind.
Can you take a picture of me?
One, two, three.
Got it. Let me show you.
Only one, huh?
Have you tried this?
Apparently they're going viral.
Mint chocolate or plain. Choose one.
This is so nice.
Oh, I've been meaning to ask you...
It might sound weird but...
did we ever watch a movie?
About the movies that night...
You were lying from the start, right?
I thought you could tell us apart.
Guess not.
Today's trip to the beach...
How much time off is that?
An hour? Two?
Five minutes. I'm being generous.
Five? Just five minutes?
Did I enjoy it? No.
If anyone did, it was you.
I drove for four hours. I'm wiped out.
Cut me some slack. Give me more time off.
What's wrong?
Why is everyone so dying to get rid of me?
I said to make me happy sincerely,
not sincerely try to get rid of me.
Did you forget who I am?
Here.
Here, rinse your mouth.
Hold still.
At least dust off the dirt.
What if you get sick?
Okay, I'll make you happy sincerely.
You keep your word.
Here goes.
Hey! My throat!
Thank you.
What the hell?
This is how to have fun.
How dare you! Stop now!
- I'll show you real fun.
- Stop it! Cut it out.
This is way more fun.
Where are we?
You like flowers, don't you?
Think a demon likes this crap?
Wow. What's this?
Smile a little.
How dare you tell a demon to smile?
I thought a top-tier demon
could do anything.
Guess posing and smiling isn't one of them.
What?
That's good. Great! Gimme more.
Nice! Yes. Something else now.
No. Don't do that. Stop.
One, two, three.
See? Looks great. Like it?
That's not the real me. What's to like?
My true form is hundred
times more beautiful.
If you saw me, you'd go blind.
I had huge eyes, a sharp nose, horns.
Famous as a beautiful demon. Look!
I'd definitely go blind.
If you were that famous,
everyone must've known your name.
What did they call you?
They called me this.
Her surname is Nigh, name is Strye.
Nigh Strye! I command you!
Leave that body immediately!
I command you, Nigh Strye...
Leave that body at once.
Keep going. Three times.
Nigh Strye...
30 minutes, Gil Gu!
Well done, son.
You achieved something I couldn't
after buying her a hundred outfits.
Man, I liked you from the start.
While you're at it,
just get rid of that demon for good.
Yes, I will. I'll try.
- Good.
- She cut down 30 minutes just for that?
She really liked the bouncy.
That's where I made the biggest cut.
Let's get rid of her for good tonight.
We'll party like crazy. Let's go wild.
What's your name?
Me?
It's bum-ba-bum, Lee Hee Bum.
- Shall we?
- Go, go.
Let's go!
What's wrong with you?
Answer me! What eyeliner do you use?
It's Devil's Eye from Lily Brown.
Sorry. I'm sorry.
Stick close to me, okay?
What are you doing?
Who might you be?
I'm... her boyfriend.
Are you okay?
Why's your hand shaking so much?
Because my boyfriend's hand is so warm.
When did they get so close?
Beats me.
Ara's quirky, but she makes friends
and boyfriends easily.
Maybe it's her honesty.
What about you?
Not seeing anyone?
It takes more than just heart.
I need to say how I feel.
I tend to overthink.
Or maybe I just lack courage.
Welcome.
How much?
I'll get rid of it.
That thing attached to her.
What?
Been there longer than I thought.
She doesn't know, does she?
That thing possessing her.
I poked at it a bit and it
reacted right away.
I saw her at a cafe
and followed her for a few days.
I just couldn't ignore it.
Don't worry. I'll get rid of it for sure.
Consider yourself lucky I spotted it.
I'll get on it as quickly as possible.
There's a misunderstanding.
You're bad at lying, huh?
Excuse me?
He said he'd get rid of me, right?
How did you know that?
How many do you think
have tried to exorcise me?
If you trust him and try something stupid,
I'll devour her.
Gil Gu, I'm heading to class.
Okay.
Hey, Seon Ji.
Yeah?
Call me on your way back.
The world's scary these days.
I'll wait at the bus stop.
Okay, I'll call you.
Take care.
I told you, we've tried everything.
But they're all scammers.
Just took my money.
That guy's probably one, too.
We don't want to upset it,
let it lash out again.
It's best to slowly cut back its time
while keeping it in check.
Excuse me.
I hurt my arm.
Can you help me tie my shoes?
Sure. Just a moment.
Thank you.
This is my favorite candy.
I want to say thank you.
It's really good. You should try it.
Thanks. I'll enjoy it.
It's cold.
Son, I've been meaning to tell you.
You've worked so hard.
I'm ever so grateful for you.
I'm okay. It wasn't that hard.
Have a drink.
I have to walk with Seon Ji later.
Right.
But it's okay.
The demon can't walk long
on a night like this. Gets tired.
I really have a good eye for people.
When I met you, my first thought was...
Hey, Gil Gu. What is it?
Gil Gu!
Gil Gu!
He'll move fast.
I'll get on it as quickly as possible.
He'll wait for when I'm weakest.
Nigh Strye!
Wait, I'm feeling weak.
Like I have no strength.
It's not even the new moon.
I'll call you.
Gil Gu, what's going on?
Can you check where Seon Ji is?
- Why?
- She's not answering her phone. Hurry.
What do you mean she's not answering?
What the... Why is she so far away?
I'll bring her back.
Hey, Gil Gu!
Welcome. That candy was good, wasn't it?
Let me go. Untie me now!
Would you let go if you were me?
After all this trouble.
I'll let it slide once, so stop.
You shouldn't have caught my eyes.
Don't be scared. It won't take long.
You bastard, I won't let you get away!
Untie me now!
I said untie me!
You...
I, Young Sik, the 46th descendent,
present you the second trial.
By the power vested
in our noble family by the moon,
I destroy you here.
Seon Ji
Seon Ji!
You scared me. How did you get here?
Stay still, don't interfere.
I'm helping you.
By kidnapping her? Why go this far?
You wouldn't let me otherwise.
I need a lot of practice to get stronger.
But you're fully taken
by this stray spirit.
I'm a demon. A high-ranking one.
You've been lying to him?
Calling yourself a demon?
It's fancier than stray spirit.
You're just a brat pretending.
If I knew you were a fading spirit,
I wouldn't have gone this far.
Ow, my head...
I'm helping you. Why don't you get it?
Come at me.
Come at me, damn it.
Head.
- Head?
- Head!
Head!
You coward...
Stop faking the rant. Fight like a man.
Come at me.
Head! Head! Head! Head!
Stop! Stop! Stop!
Stop!
Head! Head!
Head! Head!
Head! Head!
Head!
Head!
Seon Ji...
It's okay now. You'll never see him again.
If you want to talk, I'm here.
I'm really good at listening.
It was a time when being alive was pain.
With constant droughts and plagues,
no house was without wailing.
I lost my father and sister
and was left alone.
One day,
a famous shaman came to the village.
Offer life, or all will perish!
She said we'd all die
if we didn't offer a sacrifice.
But there was nothing
in the village to offer.
I can't forget the look in their eyes.
That was how I died.
I had just turned twenty.
A kind family pitied me
and buried my ashes in a jar.
Inside that jar,
the pain and sorrow slowly faded.
I learned that after 100 years,
I could forget all and be at peace.
But 50 years later,
Seon Ji's great-grandma found me.
Time stopped for me.
If only I waited 50 more years
Without the jar, I had nowhere to go.
So, I entered the first person I saw.
It was my first time, but it wasn't hard.
I was full of rage
and had nothing to hold me back.
Even before I entered her body,
a life was already growing inside her.
Somehow, I entered that tiny body.
I met Seon Ji's grandma Eun Hye,
her mother Hyun Hwa,
and finally, Seon Ji.
There have been people who noticed
and approached me.
So,
I convinced Jang Su to move around often.
This area's value will soon...
Soon what? Rise? You always say that.
I'm sorry.
I was afraid I'd get found out
if we stayed in one place for long.
I was afraid what they'd do.
So, I acted wicked, like a real demon.
So, no one would harm me.
All right, I believe you!
Even at that cost,
I just wanted to be with this family.
It was a joyful, happy time.
But good things don't last.
Please.
Don't stay with Seon Ji.
Come with me instead.
I wanted to go with her.
But it wasn't an option for me.
I still had unfulfilled time.
What did that guy mean earlier?
That you'll disappear anyway.
What does that mean?
Vanishing from the world,
to wander in eternal darkness
with painful memories.
On my 1,000th full moon outside the jar,
I will vanish.
On the night the moon becomes full.
Isn't there another way?
Like going to a better
place or finding peace?
Only if I can be sealed in that jar again
with true compassion
and spend the remaining 50 years.
But it's useless.
The jar is gone. No true kindness
is left for me in this world.
I said make me happy sincerely,
not sincerely try to get rid of me.
Once I'm gone, everything will be fine.
Like nothing ever happened.
She hasn't gone out in days.
Mouth shut tight.
What happened?
What did that scammer do to her?
I'll just quietly disappear in time.
Please don't tell the family.
I don't want to bother them anymore.
Please.
What I said was everything.
Don't worry, it won't happen again.
If you say so...
Even if I hated the demon,
it feels like Seon Ji's suffering.
What did our ancestors do
to make her go through this?
If only I could take her place...
The light keeps going out.
Mr. Jung.
Is her great-grandmother's
house still around?
- Why do you ask?
- Just curious. Does it still exist?
Yeah, it's still there.
Where exactly is it?
Thank you.
Shall I give you a good push
for old times' sake?
That's enough. Let's go home.
Already? We just got out.
How about something else?
TODAY'S MOON: FULL MOON
BATTERY LOW: 0%
Hello?
Can I take this Fonfon Chiffon?
2,500 won.
Jang Su, I'm tired of this.
Get the green one instead.
Let's go.
Thank you.
Have a good one.
You're eating well. Changed your taste?
I can't get used to this.
But eating this, I have no regrets.
You can talk casually now.
I give you permission.
I can speak casually now?
I never crossed the line,
afraid of what you'd do...
But I guess it's fine now.
How many years has it been?
Oh well...
Time flies.
I used to be young, full of energy.
It's all because of you.
What is it?
Jang Su, you've been good.
This neighborhood will soon...
Just trust me.
You and Ara, too.
TO THE MOON
No word from Gil Gu yet?
He hasn't called or answered.
Where'd he go?
He said he's going far away.
Hey, Gil Gu!
You little punk, not even calling.
Sorry.
Thank God. Let's go.
What are you playing at?
You like this place.
I've been busy. Sorry.
You wondered where I was?
Did you go nuts while you went missing?
You just have to enter this jar
and spend 50 years, right?
Tell me I'm right.
It was so hard to find this.
It had old kimchi in it.
About 100 years old.
I cleaned it as best I could.
It still smells a little...
If you go in, I'll keep it safe
for 50 years, maybe even more.
Why go this far?
Do you pity me that much?
Because I hate it.
I hate you disappearing like this.
I want you to forget everything
and go to a good place.
You turn away to hide your smile,
pretend to sleep when I'm tired,
and water dead flowers...
What kind of demon does that?
If you're gonna act like a demon,
do it properly.
I want you to forget all the pain,
all the suffering
and finally be at peace.
You were lonely and hurt, weren't you?
You've been through so much.
It'll all be okay now. Don't cry.
Now, tell me your name.
Tell me your real name.
I am
My name is...
Moon Yang.
Moon Yang.
Moon Yang.
That's a pretty name.
Moon Yang, are you ready?
I command you, Moon Yang.
Leave that body and enter this jar.
I command you, Moon Yang.
Leave that body and enter this jar.
Give me a smile.
I command you, Moon Yang.
Leave that body now!
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
I command you, Moon Yang.
Leave that body and enter this jar.
Goodbye.
Goodbye, Moon Yang.
Why isn't she waking up?
- You did so well.
- Good job.
Well done, Gil Gu.
After Moon Yang left,
Seon Ji went abroad to study.
Travel safe.
- Go on.
- Take care.
Ara opened her own little shop.
She's doing great on her own.
The boss left
after selling his house and the bakery.
I'm sure it wasn't just because
he made a good profit.
And me...
I started working again.
Doing what I do best.
I'm okay. You think I'm still a child?
Not right away. I gotta make a stop.
That's for customers
spending over 10,000 won!
I want to go to the beach, too.
Stay home.
You're sick today. Just a little.
I'll take the picture.
One, two, three.
GIL GU
Hello?
Gil Gu.
Seon Ji.
How have you been?
Where are you now?
