(Episode 14)
Stop.
What are you doing?
These are the belongings of the beheaded men.
We were told to keep what's useful...
and burn the rest.
Don't burn the belongings of the dead.
I want you to gather all of them.
Give these to the men who survived...
so they can use what's left to hold a funeral.
Wait.
I will kill you.
I will kill you...
at all costs.
Chan Seong!
I thought you weren't coming back.
Who...
are you?
Mr. Ku!
- Mr. Ku! - Mr. Ku!
Mr. Ku!
Thank goodness you're okay.
We were really worried.
I was so flustered.
Ms. Jang, you must've been really startled.
Do you feel unwell?
No, I'm fine.
I'm okay. I must've startled you a lot.
Ms. Jang must be angry.
She's probably just embarrassed that she ran over here all startled.
Anyway, I'm relieved that you managed to find your way out.
This is...
the end for us.
Who is that man?
Why? Do you think it could be you?
I thought that could be a possibility.
I figured what I saw could be...
a glimpse of my previous life that I just can't remember.
Ku Chan Seong will eventually bring him to you.
This is absurd.
Chan Seong can't be him.
Man Weol will end up getting severely swayed...
just because...
of this small, green light.
You've...
become very weak because you had to come back...
from the afterlife.
And now, you're so dim.
This alcohol is from this world.
You almost crossed the threshold of the afterlife,
so hurry up and drink something from this world.
Thank you.
I'm so relieved that you didn't get lost and found your way out.
Yes, I heard...
that time runs at a different speed there...
and that I could lose my memory.
Some people think they were gone only for a very short while,
actually, 30 years had passed.
Such a folktale wasn't a joke.
I heard this from the Grim Reaper.
Someone remembered his past life on his way back from the afterlife,
which completely ruined his life in the living realm.
- He remembered his past life? - Did you see...
anything odd when you were there?
I think I remember seeing something twinkling in the dark.
- I see. - What was that?
We don't know as we've never gone in there.
You got to see it before us even though we're the dead ones.
By the way, how did you manage to return right away?
I heard it's not easy.
Frankly, I have no recollection whatsoever.
I was already out of there when I woke up.
You lost your memory. Here, drink some more.
Ms. Jang.
I thought the kid got on the car to the afterlife.
I ended up going in there while trying to stop that.
Both the kid and I are fine, so don't be mad.
I'm really fine.
You are just Ku Chan Seong.
Do you still...
see me in your dreams?
No, I haven't seen you in my dreams...
since the day I had a very long dream.
Then did you see someone else?
I haven't told you...
because I wasn't sure whether it was a dream or just my imagination,
but I saw that man.
The man named Chung Myung.
He was waiting for you...
by the lake all by himself.
He was holding a moon-shaped ornament,
which seemed like yours.
Have you...
received such a gift?
No.
If I'm not peeking into your memories,
what was that dream about?
At first, you told me that perhaps you're seeing...
memories from your past life that you don't remember.
Right, but you said that's impossible.
Yes.
It's impossible.
Are you anxious...
because of how Song Hwa and Yeon Woo ended up together?
Are you worried he might return like that?
I won't end up like them.
They were...
Fine. That happened in their past lives,
so let's say it's possible.
But with me, it happened in this lifetime.
Seeing Yeon Woo with that woman...
made me think some crazy thoughts for a moment.
- Dad. - Yun! Yes, Yun.
He fell asleep at a bus stop.
We brought him to the hospital because he had a fever.
He took a fever reducer, so the fever has gone down.
Thank you so much.
Where have you been?
I took the bus and went to the hotel.
He must've had a dream when he was asleep.
I went there to see Mom, but I was told that she's not there.
When you're a little older,
I'll tell you where your mom is and why she had to leave.
I'll tell you everything, okay?
Okay.
I'm sorry.
Would finding out later be less sad?
He'll learn that he can never see her again.
Does Yu Na know that you're planning to leave...
with your younger sister after she dies?
Yu Na.
- You see... - Hey, Ms. Jang will yell at you...
if you go back now, so let's hang out.
- Well... - I learned...
that you get scolded less if you wait it out a little.
Wait here. I need to use the ladies' room.
I should tell her today.
Ma'am, listen to this for a moment.
Do you like this piano melody?
Well...
Yes.
My friend's sister...
I mean, you look a lot like my friend's grandmother.
May I take a photo of you listening to music to show my friend?
Sure.
Thank you.
Well... Do you remember...
your brother's name by any chance?
Yes, I do.
My brother's name is...
Ji Hyun Joong.
You remember him?
Yes.
Hello, can I help you?
Hyun Joong.
Yes, Hyun Mi.
Were you listening to music?
Let's see.
Sir, are you the founder of this hospital,
Mr. Ji Hyun Joong?
Yes. You must be Mr. Kim's daughter who was hospitalized here.
Hold on.
You're...
her brother?
Yes, I am. What's the matter?
But her brother, Ji Hyun Joong,
died many years ago.
What?
Hyun Joong? Hyun Joong.
- Where are you? - Yes, I'm here.
Gosh.
There is someone who knows...
that Ji Hyun Joong is dead.
I told you not to bother Hyun Mi.
Does that man have something to do with your death?
Did he steal everything you had?
And he's living as you now?
- It's none of your business. - That's why you couldn't ascend.
You couldn't stand him living a good life using your name.
- Just leave him be. - How could I?
He stole your life.
Who cares? I'm already dead.
Look at yourself living a good life.
Right.
I stole someone's life too.
I was being too nosy.
Yu Na, that's not what I meant.
I'll mind my own business.
Hey, Sanchez. Everything's going well, right?
- Eat up! - What's up with all the noise?
Is someone else home?
Mi Ra had Detective Park sleep in your room last night...
because his leg was swollen.
I think he's fine now, but Mi Ra kept saying...
he must eat well as he's injured. We're eating now.
When we were having a meal,
Detective Park's colleagues came over since it's their day off.
And when they came over, they said I had a nice yard,
so they're having the watermelon they brought in the yard.
Gosh, you guys look great together.
Mi Ra brought people to the house.
Chan Seong, it's very safe here.
Thanks to the incense Man Weol gave me,
spiritually, it's safe here.
When Mi Ra invited the detectives over to my house,
I don't need to worry about being in danger.
Sanchez, put Mi Ra on the phone. I'll talk to her.
Don't.
I'm sure she's bringing people over...
in case I get depressed if I'm all alone.
It's nice and noisy here.
Chan Seong, all I could think about...
is making sure that they don't ruin the grass.
Chan Seong, you don't need to worry about me.
- This is good. - It is, right? I bought it.
- No, you didn't. - I didn't?
I'll eat it myself.
Come on, you're injured.
My arm is fine.
Should I break your arm, so you will let me feed you?
Here.
It's good, right?
- You can eat it yourself now. - It's good.
Isn't it sweet?
I thought Mi Ra and Detective Park were always fighting like enemies.
Now that I see them together, they seem fine.
You don't need to worry.
I think she'll move out soon.
Chan Seong, I'm going to go eat some watermelon. Bye.
Sanchez.
Eat the melon the detectives bought.
- Come and join us. - It's delicious.
Mi Ra.
That melon came from my fridge.
Is that so?
- Let's eat it. - Things happen, you know.
- The melon did feel cool. - Bring the cutting board.
What does it matter?
Come in.
Do you remember...
that Ms. Jang invited a woman to our hotel a while ago?
This is an amazing hotel.
And from what I've heard, she's your friend.
That's right.
Did she cross paths with Ms. Jang in her previous life?
I'm sure their connection was ill-fated.
We have never...
tried to figure out Ms. Jang's story...
because we always assumed that she had no intention...
of leaving after settling her resentment.
But the tree that tied her down here has changed.
And I think the changes have been brought...
by you and the connections you have brought.
Your assumption...
is correct.
In addition to that lady,
will Ms. Jang face more connections from her past?
He's already here.
And I'm sure...
more will come shortly.
I'll probably end up bringing the man to Ms. Jang like the others.
That must be why Ma Go brought you to our hotel.
Then, I take it that you must have crossed paths...
with Ms. Jang in your previous life as well.
No, I have not.
Is that so?
That's odd.
If you have never met her in your previous life,
why did Ma Go choose you out of everyone?
I'm sure the deity must have a reason for bringing you to her.
Anyway, it resulted in love.
I will continue...
to stay with her.
My heart breaks for Ms. Jang.
Soon,
she will have to face someone...
who will inflict the most pain.
Jang Man Weol.
Why are you leaving?
I don't want to see you.
Admire the flowers you have wanted as much as you want...
and just leave.
Then...
will you let him just pass by?
Will you pretend to be clueless?
You have met him.
You can't run away from it.
He's already...
by your side.
I finally get to give this to you.
It's yours.
But I saw that man.
The man named Chung Myung.
He was holding a moon-shaped ornament,
which seemed like yours.
Is it Chan Seong?
If it is him,
will you be able to accept it?
Is Chan Seong...
that man?
The man you have been waiting for over 1,000 years...
has finally shown up,
but you don't seem happy.
You were so sure of yourself that once he came to this world,
you'd kill him and cease to exist.
Are you second-guessing yourself now?
So I asked...
if that man is Chan Seong.
You have fed the hatred of yours for a long time.
Why don't you let go of your hatred with your love which took ages...
to reach you?
I have hated the man for over 1,000 years.
But you made me see him as a man whom I fell in love with?
I'm curious to find out which man...
you'll see him as.
Will you see him as Ko Chung Myung and cease to exist?
Or will you see him as Ku Chan Seong and be saved?
It is...
up to you.
Ms. Jang.
Every sight you see with me will look different.
The view here looks prettier now that we're seeing it together.
I'm proud of you,
Man Weol.
I told you...
to trust me.
Chan Seong.
Ms. Jang.
Are you all right?
You look very pale.
A moment ago,
I killed Chan Seong in my thoughts.
He could be...
the reincarnation of the man I abhor the most.
I'm sure it isn't him.
Mr. Ku also said it wasn't him.
Right.
It might not be him.
But as long as there is slightest possibility...
that it could be him,
I will never be able...
to face Chan Seong.
Now...
what will you do?
I can never kill Chan Seong.
Ma Go says I have to empty out everything.
Now I have to think hard...
about how to do that.
I bought them from that shop you like.
You will feel better after you eat something sweet.
Come and sit down.
What do you have in your hand?
It's the ornament I saw in my dreams.
This came from your dream.
Ma Go gave it to me.
In my dreams, it didn't have any blood on it.
I told you he died at my sword.
This blood...
must be filled with the hatred for me.
Why did Ma Go give you such an ominous thing?
Give it to me. I'll keep it for you.
I will get rid of this myself.
The moon covered in blood...
must be destroyed.
Ma Go always tells me that.
To empty the moon...
that is filled with hatred.
Can you do that?
I have to.
I want to call in...
the moon covered in blood.
Mr. Ku.
You are here.
The Grim Reaper is looking for you.
Go on.
I have found the vengeful spirit that cursed you.
You've found Seol Ji Won.
Has he become more powerful as he wanted?
Do you think a vengeful spirit that holds unjustifiable resentment...
can become powerful as he wishes?
He is only hiding in the dark like a gutter rat.
That's good to know.
His yearning to become eviler hasn't become stronger.
He's just hiding in the dark like a coward.
Can you help me?
I heard you were good at acting as bait.
I won't reveal who recommended you.
I'm sure it's Mr. Kim.
I'll take it that a work colleague thinks highly of my skills.
Many human managers worked here.
Among them, you are...
That is my assessment.
Thank you.
Did you start working at Guest House of the Moon from the start?
Yes.
I guided a number of spirits...
from this place to the other world.
Take care of your guests.
Especially...
your first guest.
Who was the first guest of this place?
Ma Go said that the first guest was the most important.
I have not guided...
the first guest of this place.
Nobody in this place...
has seen the faint light of his existence.
How could that happen to a guest?
I do not give answers.
I only guide them to the end.
First,
let's go catch that vengeful spirit.
(The Sanzu River)
Since it has the sign of the moon...
he must have made it for you.
And you would have been so happy when you received it.
That disgusts me about you.
When he came,
I was going to throw him into the fiery pit that you made...
and make both of you cease to exist.
However, because of the scheming of the deities,
I can't do that anymore.
I...
ended up falling in love again.
Leaning on that love,
I tried to ignore you.
You just had to...
drag me down again.
I will...
put you in here...
and dump it in a trash bin around here.
You will go berserk.
And we will cease to exist together.
Seol Ji Won.
Come out.
I know you're hiding in here.
The Grim Reaper is on his way to take you.
There you are.
So you went from being a smug jerk to a loser.
I have something for you.
Eat this.
Eat it...
and become an evil spirit.
So he came hiding to the place he's familiar with.
He's in the darkness, but he will reveal himself once he sees you.
Ms. Jang, you're here too.
Yes, I came ahead.
Did you catch him?
I let him go.
Danger will now find you...
because I gave him...
a special gift.
You'll have your work cut out for you with this one.
He might go crazy with his new-found powers.
What are you doing?
Chan Seong.
Ma Go said that you're him.
I need to kill you,
but I won't be able to.
I just like you too much.
But I won't protect you though.
I waited for over 1,000 years to kill you,
so I'll be making...
a mockery out of myself if I protect you.
If the vengeful spirit becomes an evil one,
he will become stronger, and you will cease to exist too.
Whatever.
You're a human adored by Ma Go,
so they'll interfere before the spirit gets to you.
And...
you'll perish.
So I only ended up using you.
What I call love couldn't be more pathetic.
Ms. Jang!
- What's with the hotel? - Beats me.
All the lights in the building have gone out.
Mr. Ku, something happened to Ms. Jang?
I think there was a misunderstanding.
Do you know where she is?
She went into the garden where the Moon Tree stands...
and barricaded the door.
No one can enter.
We should check on our guests first.
I don't understand why we're in trouble now.
Ms. Jang,
what on earth are you up to?
Is it true?
Am I truly that man...
whom Ms. Jang loathes?
I doubt those were her exact words...
since he...
is right here.
You've met him before, you know.
How...
is this him?
He is...
the first guest who stayed at...
Man Weol's Guest House of the Moon.
I should take him to her.
Actually,
shouldn't you stop her from being perished first?
Find the object Man Weol handed over to the evil spirit.
Once the evil spirit makes his move,
the ramification will be set in stone.
Working overtime earned us a few extra bucks,
so let's grab a drink.
- Sure. - Let's go.
I hear he cursed his wife so that she'd die.
What a piece of garbage.
Does he have no shame?
Hello.
Who on earth are you?
You should hurry on out of here.
Greetings, my friend.
I was going to visit you after I had some fun.
But I guess you were in a hurry.
How did you find me?
I found you thanks to the owner...
of the item that you recently picked up.
This?
I came to take that back. Give it to me.
How are you going to do that?
You'll die before you can take it from me.
So this is how...
you've come to face me.
I guess you're not going to give up.
Let's see how long you'll last.
I was just buying time.
The time has come.
The moon's showing itself.
Why do you think she gave that to you?
I told you that she will protect me.
Do you see that sign of the moon?
Once the moon fully reveals itself,
you'll be doomed for having that with you.
Stop trying to fool me.
I told you that death isn't the end, didn't I?
I tried to stop you, but you just chose to die.
Now, it's time for you to fall into the fiery pit.
Goodbye, Seol Ji Won.
How dare you lie to me?
Just die.
I never lied to you.
You're really doomed.
I was also once...
a vengeful ghost full of spite.
If we add up the years that we've been dead,
it becomes a total of 770 years.
But you're nothing but a runt that just died.
How dare you act up this way?
Take what you found, and go back to the hotel.
Okay.
I caught him.
We did all the work. You're just taking credit.
You gave yourself to the vengeful ghost...
and tried to turn him into an evil spirit.
I cannot forgive you for that.
I took out my most wicked thought that I had deep down inside...
and gave it to the vengeful ghost.
Then what does that make you?
Are you just a heartbroken moon...
that blooms and withers flowers...
as time repeats itself?
Just make me perish.
No!
I brought it back.
There's no reason that she must cease to exist.
Please leave.
Just make me perish!
Fine.
Go ahead and have what you want.
If you must torment yourself like that,
I'll become the guy that you keep thinking I am.
Kill me.
I promised I'd stay by your side even if I have to die...
for getting in your way.
The man you've been waiting for...
is actually here.
You came all the way here.
So you should listen to what happened on the day...
that the moon got covered in blood.
That way, you'll be able to empty your resentment.
Is this the afterlife?
The afterlife that you'll encounter won't be so magnificent.
But there are some people who wish to see you before you leave.
Me?
Our hotel guests are waiting for you.
This is a special service for our guests.
What a typical number.
What is this? Is it the fiery pit?
You'll find out once you go inside.
Do you remember what you said to all of us...
right before you killed us?
Hello.
Seol Ji Won.
We should soundproof the hotel walls.
(We invite you to Hotel Del Luna. From Jang Man Weol)
(Jang Man Weol)
(We invite you to Hotel Del Luna. From Jang Man Weol)
"Hotel Del Luna"?
Mr. Ku Chan Seong works here?
Yes, my boss invited you.
She invited the doctor too. You two should come together.
(We invite you to Hotel Del Luna. From Jang Man Weol)
Jang Man Weol?
(Dear Ms. Lee Mi Ra)
What's that? An invitation to a hotel.
I've already been there once as my friend works there.
It's such a nice hotel.
Where is it?
Not everyone can go.
You can't go there without an invitation. It's a special hotel.
Very special.
Welcome.
I'll take you to our sky lounge, the pride of our hotel.
My gosh.
You came to this fancy place all by yourself?
Welcome. We have a table ready for you inside.
This way, please.
Here, everyone gets drunk and dreams of their past life.
Hence the name, Chwisaengmong.
And I'm the bartender here.
Today, the deities made an exception for the two of you...
and gave me permission to let you have a taste...
of one of your past lives.
"Deities"?
He means he'll impress us with super delicious drinks.
I blacked out last time, so I don't remember much.
This time, I shall drink it slowly and really savor it.
Give us our drinks.
This is a petal.
It's a petal from the Moon Tree.
The Moon Tree?
There is such a tree?
I'm sure there is.
This is so pretty.
Those from that time of your life are here now.
You'll be able to find out...
more about him through them.
Chung Myung.
My father is looking for you.
Why is he looking for me?
We received a tip that you are in league...
with the rebels in Mount Dongmo.
You will die if you go see my father now.
So I sent some soldiers.
I told them to go capture everyone helping the one you're waiting for.
What do you mean?
Those bandits are remnants of Goguryeo.
If you capture all of them and take them to my father,
he will no longer suspect you.
They're just wandering thieves that steal from peddlers.
If you are executed as a traitor,
all your subordinates...
as well as everyone who is related to you will die.
Even if there are hundreds of people,
my father will kill them all as he is afraid of a coup.
Go and capture them all.
Just catch the ones that stole.
Why are you taking all the innocent villagers?
I'm not here to catch thieves.
I came to quell the rebels.
What?
I'll try my best to help you so that you can survive as a slave.
But for me to do that,
all your men must be killed as rebels.
Why...
Why are you doing this?
I wanted to find a way to join hands with you.
I wished to go to the new country...
in Mount Dongmo...
with you.
But I got busted.
And now, I must take your lives...
to cover it up.
After I bury all of it,
I will pay for what I did with my own life.
No, don't.
Just save Man Weol.
And to do that,
you must live as a traitor instead of listing all the excuses...
that you gave me.
Then Man Weol will live.
He made a promise to Yeon Woo.
He's always been here.
He was the first guest...
that came to the Guest House of the Moon.
You're not the only one who's been paying for the past sins here...
all these years.
Thanks to you, I made a great contribution.
I will kill you.
I will kill you...
at all costs.
If you wish to kill me,
you will have to stay alive.
You will live as a traitor.
If you do that, Man Weol will live.
I've been waiting for you.
I hope there won't be any hesitation as you swing your sword at me.
If so,
I won't hesitate...
to throw myself at the sword.
You have never...
uttered his name. Not even once.
If you call for him,
he will show himself.
Have you been here the whole time?
If so, show yourself to me.
Ko Chung Myung.
Tell me if there's anything else you wish to tell me.
I'll listen to it.
There's no more excuse to tell you.
Man Weol.
You told me in your last moment...
that you would try to protect me.
As I was chained to the Moon Tree and full of resentment,
my words chained you here...
and stopped you from leaving.
I...
have emptied everything now.
So you should leave now.
This is...
the end for us.
Yes.
It's the end.
His spirit doesn't have the energy to go to the afterlife.
If we leave him here, he will cease to exist.
He won't be able to have another life.
To avoid that,
you should...
send him off.
That is the last act of punishment...
you will face here.
Yeong Su.
Are you up?
You two got really drunk, so Mr. Ku told me to escort you home.
So I called a taxi.
Well, you two can go home on your own, right?
- Yes. - Goodbye.
Gosh, this again?
When I came to the hotel the other day,
she was the one who sent me home in a taxi.
But this time, I remember up to drinking the cocktail.
Yeong Su, why are you crying?
I don't know. I feel sad.
Seeing you cry like this is making me sad too.
This is so weird.
I'm right here. Why are you crying?
Don't cry.
Does he really have no intention of reconciling with me?
We met for the first time...
on May 2.
I found it.
This watch looks pretty old.
It's over 70 years old.
Time on that watch...
has been flowing even when you were alive.
These kinds of watches must be rare.
It must've been hard to find one.
Thank you.
And I'm sorry.
I wanted to let you know...
that you're an old man who is 70 years older than me.
It wasn't easy to get that watch.
So from now on,
even if I look older than you like your older sister,
don't forget that you are way older than I am.
Put it on your wrist. I'm sure it'll look great.
Yu Na.
I will leave soon.
I told you that I was waiting for my sister, Hyun Mi.
Right now, Hyun Mi is very sick.
When she leaves,
I must go with her.
Yu Na,
when this watch was made,
I had already been dead.
Time can't run...
for the dead and for the living together.
I had died a very long time ago.
It's so upsetting.
I'll see him off.
You'll be back in a jiffy, right?
Of course.
I'll be back in a jiffy.
You are coming back, right?
Wait for me.
(The Sanzu River, this life, afterlife)
(A month later)
Ma'am, let me help you
Once you go out to the beach,
you can rent any kinds of beach supplies.
Let's go.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
It looks like you've made progress.
Could you read it for me?
It's been a month since Ms. Jang left.
Ms. Jang isn't here.
But how come the hotel hasn't vanished yet?
It means that Ms. Jang is no longer...
the owner of Guest House of the Moon.
That's my guess.
Mr. Ku.
I think you should head to the garden.
Yesterday,
I saw a few leaves and flowers.
But the tree is completely lifeless now.
I guess...
that means Ms. Jang can't come back for good now.
Wait for me.
Ms. Jang.
Come back quickly.
I'm getting...
anxious now.
All of us are against having a new owner.
Help Ms. Jang return.
I'm with them.
It took me 500 years to get used to Ms. Jang.
Having another boss? I'm against it.
It is up to her to return to this place or not.

There are still some flowers left.
I put the flowers dreaming of the moon...
in there.
