No!
No, Brother. I don’t want to go.
Let go of me!
Moo Yeon, I’m sorry for letting you live in your agony for so long.
Come with me.
Let this be the end of our fate.
Moo Young.
Do death angels die also?
There is nothing in this world that is everlasting.
Even death angels die?
We just disappear.
Mother!
Mother.
M...
Mother.
Mother!
Mother.
Mother!
Mother.
Mother!
[Final Episode]
Mother, hang on just a bit longer.
I’ll take you to the doctor...
Eun Oh.
Put me down.
Eun Oh.
Mother.
My son...
Mother, I’m sorry.
Thank you.
Mother.
Mother!
Mother.
Madam is dead.
Madam... is dead.
What do I do now?
Miss...
I didn’t know until now
that I threw you away so horrifically.
I don’t know if I can be forgiven by saying I didn’t know...
But I honestly didn’t know.
How many more of these memories...
are going to come back to me?
I’m afraid to find out.
How can I live like this?
Moo Young... that kid...
In the end, he saved Moo Yeon.
I should have thrown her into the fires of Hell.
To think that bringing an end to her existence was to save her... what a pity.
Moo Yeon might have preferred the Hellfire.
What are you talking about?
Did you forget?
She said she hated Heaven because desire was not allowed.
So she might have preferred to burn in Hell and bear it
as long as she can hold on to her emotions.
Then extinguishing her would have been the very worst punishment for her.
Maybe...
Who can know what was in her heart?
Regardless, the person I had on reserve came through in the end.
But the bet between us is still on.
You’re right. It’s not over yet.
I say this again.
That Arang will never be able to find the answer to this problem.
So you just get ready to switch bodies with me.
She’s dead but the bell of truth hasn’t rung yet.
That means the magistrate’s mother
isn’t responsible for my death, as I’d thought.
If I end up not finding out the truth and I end up in Hell,
it’s okay with me.
I’ll be able to remember the magistrate in Hell.
Moo Young told me
of a way to find out the truth about your death.
What?
Kim Eun Oh.
What?
There’s a way to find out the truth about Arang’s death.
What?
All you have to do is look in the Book of Life and Death.
Book of Life and Death?
Everything about a person’s life and death is written in a book.
Arang’s book will show you who really killed her.
How can I see that book?
The books of life are kept in Heaven.
But the books of death are kept in a storeroom in the forest of the River Styx.
Storeroom for books of death?
Forest of the River Styx?
Storage place for the Book of Death?
Yes.
But you can’t go anywhere near there until it’s your time to go.
So I’ll go.
Don’t worry because I’ll go there.
No.
What?
Do you know what kind of place that is?
It’s right there by the River Styx.
You have to be dead to go there.
Are you thinking of dying?
No one is going to die. Moo Young just...
Forget it.
Whatever happens, don’t do anything.
How can you tell me not to do anything?
I don’t have to go to Heaven.
You... What do you mean by that?
Why are you suddenly acting like this?
I told you I’ll send you to Heaven.
No. I don’t want to go there anymore.
You don’t want to go there anymore?
What? You suddenly decided you prefer Hell?
Yes.
Arang!
There’s a condition you must abide by to go to Heaven.
Condition?
You must leave all your memories behind.
That means all your current memories will disappear.
I have to leave my memories behind?
It’s the same thing if you end up going to Hell.
But if you end up going to the worst of the worst part of Hell,
your memories will make it unbearable.
If I have to go to Hell to keep remembering you, that’s what I want to do.
There is a way to extract the spirit from the body
and just send the spirit to the Styx Forest.
In theory, that is...
How can that be done?
How to do that is written in Grandmother’s book.
But there is a problem.
What problem?
You don’t know your way around the Styx Forest.
Normally, the Grim Reaper guides you through it.
But you are going alone.
You’ll likely get lost in there.
There is a way.
Arang has been there.
Not Arang.
She can't go near there until her time is up.
Then... just her consciousness can go.
What do you mean by that?
Arang's consciousness can accompany you and be your guide.
In theory, of course...
Arang.
You want to go to Hell so you can remember me?
Why are you thinking something so idiotic?
Arang, you're one to think of a way to remember me,
even if you go to Heaven.
It's not like you to just sit here and wait to go to Hell.
Think carefully... about why you returned here.
Let's go.
Let's go and find the truth first; then, we'll think about the rest after that.
Why did you just sit back and allow all that to happen to you?
What happened?
Who did that to you?
I may not know, but you should.
Wait.
I'll find out for you.
So, who's going to start?
I will.
Last summer, I was sent in for mandatory labor and was killed by a log.
Did someone intentionally throw that log at you?
No. The logs pile came tumbling down.
Then that means the log is the culprit.
How can we hold a log accountable?
That's not it.
My wife was pregnant at the time and she gave birth to a son while I was away.
He's the only son in the family for 8 generations.
Because he has no father, he is anonymous with no name.
Would you give him a name that will provide for a long and prosperous life?
Is that it?
Yes, that is all I need.
Fine.
Okay, next.
Last fall, I died by drowning in water but there's no way to find the body.
How did that happen? You should have been more careful.
Then your problem is that your body can't be found?
Yes.
But since they can't find my body, if a tombstone can be erected for me,
I think I will be able to move on to the next life.
I'll do that.
A tombstone...
What about you?
I have an elderly mother.
Last winter, she wanted some persimmons so I went out to get some for her.
But I was eaten by a tiger.
My mother doesn't know that I died and she's still waiting for me to return.
Please let her know that I went to a good place
and tell her to stop waiting for me.
I'll do that.
And finally, what is your issue?
I want to get married!
What?
This will be fine.
Here. This is it.
Thank you, Magistrate.
I think I've done everything I could here.
The breeze feels really good today.
The River Styx that I crossed was similar to this.
It's only been 2 full moons since but it feels so long ago.
Even after I'm gone, the time here will keep moving on.
Right?
Arang.
I hated hearing the most that time moves as fast as the arrows.
Because the difficult moments passed too... too slowly.
But I'm really resenting
how fast the time is moving during my time of being with you.
It's hard to believe we have so little time left.
A flower blooms again where a flower once bloomed.
And wind will blow through again where it blew before.
But I'm going to hold on forever to what was in my heart.
If I go to Heaven, I'll forget you.
But if I go to Hell, you'll forget me.
So there's no place where we can meet.
I will find you, with what I feel in my heart this moment.
If I should happen to pass by you, I'll stop.
When you see a man who is crying and his heart beats for you,
please recognize that it's me.
Arang, I love you.
Master, be well.
They were days that were dark even when I opened my eyes.
They were days that stood still even though I lived.
I want to stop holding my breath now.
I was a person who didn't flinch even after stabbing someone in the heart.
I can't forgive myself.
Miss, if I see you again,
if that would be permitted for me...
I will just stay behind you.
I will only look at you from afar
and endure the pain.
I will not dare to love you.
Magistrate, you look especially dashing today.
Are you... going on an outing with Miss Arang?
Thank you for assisting a lacking magistrate and working so hard.
Please continue on as you have until now.
Young Master, what's wrong with you?
Did you have a bad dream last night?
Why are you saying "thank you"?
Even more, why do you sound like a person who's leaving?
I should leave.
I believe I did all that I could here.
Are you getting itchy to be on the move again?
Should I prepare to leave?
No need.
Listen carefully to what I say and follow my instructions.
To the people of Miryang.
There's a royal decree that the office of the magistrate is not
qualified by his social status.
Anyone who cares for this town, serves its people,
and have earned the trust of the people can become the magistrate.
As such, let the people of Miryang nominate
- and elect a magistrate on their own. - Since your name
is Gae Ttong (*dog poop),
you can be Magistrate Dog.
Then since your name is Byeon Myung Sae (*Byeong=poop),
you're Magistrate Poop.
That's just ridiculous.
Our magistrate sure has a great sense of humor.
How can he put up an announcement as a joke?
Hurry along.
I'll explode while I wait for you.
You can't even wait that long?
I'm not going to run away.
You might turn into a flower and float away.
Then you can become a butterfly and come after me.
What's there to worry about?
Oh, I didn't think about that.
What?
People are looking.
I did it so people will look.
I'm holding what's mine so who can say anything?
It's really strange.
I've walked this road over a thousand times.
But walking on it with you, it feels like a completely different place.
Is this the place of that latest craze, to have an instant portrait done?
You've come to the right place.
- Have a seat. Have a seat. - Sit down.
We'd like one for each of us.
Please make it your best work.
I've never seen a face so full of blessing as this one before.
I can't draw a bad picture even if I wanted to.
Don't worry.
Give that to me. It's not heavy.
I'll carry it.
It's fine.
Why not put these broad shoulders to use?
I can even carry you.
I'm really strong.
Do you want to see my legs?
Stop it.
It doesn't look good for a man to brag about his strength in broad daylight.
Is that so?
It'd be different if it was night...
Welcome.
What do you think?
I'm grateful but I'm not big on adorning myself.
Do I really look like this?
It look exactly like you, with all that exuding male charisma.
What do you think about mine?
You look like a big round moon.
That kind of sounded like a compliment.
Anyway, thank you for today.
I got to experience things like this.
It was all for my benefit.
I told you I'm not interested in things like this.
Didn't you know?
I don't listen to what I don't want to hear.
And especially lies... They don't work with me.
How did you know my size?
I thought you only had a good body but you have a good head also.
Are you just going to sit there and smile?
Bang Wool...
What?
I've lived my life thinking all you need to be a man is to be strong.
But I realized that wasn't true.
Then...
A normal man uses his strength for a woman.
But a real man uses his heart for his woman.
Would you accept my heart?
There's nothing to stop me.
But once you give me your heart,
you can't take it back until we die.
Bang Wool.
I'm binding your two souls with this seal tie.
You'll be able to find each other, even in the Styx Forest.
And I put this bell there
so I can let you know when it's time to come back.
Are you doing this correctly?
How many times do I have to tell you?
Since I learned through books, I'm very clear on techniques.
Are you the one who's sure? Of your way around Styx Forest?
How can I forget that place?
Once you've been there, you'll never be able to forget it either.
You're saying this bell will ring?
Yes.
When it's time, I'll shake this to let you know.
Keep this in mind.
You must get out of there before the sun comes up.
If you don't, the magistrate will die...
I'll shake it with all my might.
Shaman, thank you.
Even if the spirits there try to seduce you, you must resist.
You must only look straight on and run.
This is...?
Yes.
This is the Styx Forest.
I beg you, I beg you.
Spirit of my mother, Spirit of my grandmother...
Please...
What are these?
- Are they lost spirits? - I'm hungry.
I'm hungry. Please take me with you.
We need to stay alert.
My maid...
Lady, come with me. I will escort you.
There is something I must show you.
Follow me.
Arang.
Arang!
Mother.
Don't cry, Seo Rim.
My baby.
I wanted to give you a sibling.
But I'm leaving you all alone and lonely...
I'm really sorry.
Mother! Please open your eyes.
Mother!
- Mother! - Seo Rim,
have a life filled with enough happiness for the both of us.
Mother! Mother.
Arang! Wake up.
Arang.
Arang, are you awake?
I saw a young Lee Seo Rim.
No, I mean I saw me as a child.
What do you mean?
My mother... I saw my mother die.
Arang, we must stay focused.
Let's hurry.
That must be it.
Let's go.
Who's there?
We're here to look at the Book of Life and Death.
This place only holds the books of death.
We know.
You know?
Why do you want to look at a book of death?
This is the first time a living person wanted to look at the Book of Death.
There's good reason as we came all the way here to do so.
We must find out something. Please let me go in there.
There's a time limit to how long you can be in there.
If you can't find the book you're looking for,
you'll never be able to go back to Earth.
Do you still want to go in?
Don't you think I thought about that, coming all the way here?
Don't worry and just allow me in.
Fine.
Follow me.
You can't see everything in the book.
You can only find the one answer you're seeking.
How do I find that answer?
Ask from deep within your heart.
Then, the book will answer you.
You are allowed to remain in here until the dots on your hand disappear.
I'll find it. I can find it.
Tell me who really killed Arang.
The person who killed Arang is...
Arang herself?
What's taking him so long?
Magistrate!
Are you there, Magistrate?
Magistrate!
This is...
How is my book here when there are only books of death in here?
I died when I was 6 years old.
Why?
I'll leave it as a debt.
Your life from now on does not belong to you.
There will come a day, when you'll remember the events of this day.
The Jade Emperor?
So I already died once.
Why did he bring me back to life?
If my life didn't belong to me, who owns it?
Jade Emperor!
Do tell, Kim Eun Oh.
What do you want?
Why did you bring me back to life back then?
It was because I needed you.
As a tool to capture that fairy?
That is true but that's not the only reason.
Understand this one thing.
You may have started this but it was my will that ended it.
It was my choice to stab my mother's heart with the hairpin!
I'm sure there's another reason why you wanted to see me.
I found out that it was Arang who was responsible for her death.
So since Arang's body can't die,
she can't ring that bell of truth anyway.
That's right.
That's why I said she would never figure it out.
What would cause you to give her such a challenge?
You gave her a problem that has no solution.
Did you sit up here and laugh as you watched her go through all that torment?
Shouldn't you have given her a problem with a solution,
if these are the games you enjoy?
Aren't gods supposed to be fair?
Yes.
I'm pretty fair, but your teacher here...
He waffles from time to time.
Kim Eun Oh...
From the beginning,
Arang didn't come here just so she could go to Heaven.
She came here to find out who she was and how she died.
So I allowed her to find out what she wanted to know.
If Arang learns on her own what you just found out, that's just a bonus.
The matter of Heaven or Hell will come after that.
Now, tell us.
Kim Eun Oh,
what is the real reason you came here?
Arang!
Why did it take you so long?
Let's go.
Did you see the book?
Who was it who killed me?
I'll tell you later.
Please come back.
Come back.
Arang.
Magistrate!
Arang!
Come on. Come on.
Hurry, get up!
We're in trouble.
Hurry and come back!
Hurry.
Arang.
Didn't the magistrate come with you?
Arang, where's the magistrate?
Magistrate.
Magistrate, wake up.
Magistrate.
Arang!
Sir! We're in big trouble!
Magistrate!
Magistrate.
Magistrate, wake up.
Tell me you're still alive.
Tell me you're okay.
Sir... Sir!
Sir! We're in trouble!
Sir!
Sir, please wake up.
Magistrate, good bye.
It's because of me that you can't wake up.
Everything was because of me.
And even my death... I'm the one who was responsible for it.
That's why the magistrate didn't say anything.
Because I can't die anyway.
I was going to go to Hell from the beginning.
Arang!
I captured that fairy you so wanted to get.
So change the conditions for Arang's bell of truth to ring.
If I change them, what will you do?
I will give up my life.
Giving up your life won't be enough.
Can you go to Hell in Arang's place?
Magistrate!
- Magistrate, sir! - Your Honor...
- Magistrate! - Magistrate, you're here?
The 3 Bang officers.
Anything happen while I was gone?
I guess nothing happening is the happening.
Thanks to you, Magistrate Dol,
there is peace in Miryang every day.
Hearing you three say that reassures my heart.
It's more reassuring than having an entire army.
Not just a mere army... How about 10,000 armies?
Shall we get started?
There are many things to do today for the needs of the people, as usual.
How does it taste?
Bang Wool,
would you like to go into partnership with me?
What? What's this about a partnership, all of a sudden?
This isn't just good.
If we sell this, we'll hit the jackpot of all jackpots.
Then... mega jackpot?
Okay, okay. Please get in line. Get in line.
No cutting. Just wait.
Okay, you may go in.
[Bang Wool Pork Wraps]
Enjoy. Thank you.
Over here! - Yes?
One more plate of the Bang Wool Pork Wraps.
Okay. I'll bring it right over.
How did you cook this pork?
- It's really good. - Is that right?
I had no idea.
You're really talented with your cooking.
Thank you.
You've waited a long time, haven't you?
I'll count one-two-three, then put it down.
One... two...
Just a little bit. Give me just a little bit of that.
Stop it.
Where are you going?
Why aren't you sharing it with me?
Did you just say you wanted me to share this with you?
Forget it.
What did you say?
You dare to use informal speech with a nobleman?
Why can't I do that?
What does social class matter to ghosts?
Ghosts are just ghosts.
Come back.
Come back, Keo Deol!
I can't stand this frustration anymore.
We allowed Kim Eun Oh to live up here, as reward for his sacrifice.
Why does he want to go back to Earth so much?
I don't understand why humans don't like living up here.
That's what makes them human.
I thought I would have your body this time, for sure.
I'm sure there'll be another chance.
What a pity.
I feel bad for not being able to give you my body
so I have a small present for you.
A present?
Moo Young!
Moo Young?
This is probably the best thing you ever did.
It goes against the rules but you seem to miss him so much.
So I made an exception and reincarnated him.
Yes.
It's not such a bad thing.
Living in Heaven like that, as punishment for being unable
to stop his human emotions.
I'll need to come here often.
How are the new death angels doing?
Oh, here they come.
I'm back.
Eun Oh!
- Eun Oh! - My mother's looking for me.
Please pardon my rudeness;
but it doesn't feel like the first time we're meeting,
so I dared to approach you.
I've met many girls before, but I've never seen anyone as pretty as you.
So, would it be okay to ask your name?
I asked you for your name!
I'm Arang.
A... Arang?
Look here, Magistrate!
I told you to not drink from that well of forgetfulness. Did you drink from it?
You drive me nuts.
What are you going to do now?
What good is it if I'm the only one who remembers? What?
You don't remember me?
You really don't?
What are you going to do now, you amnesiac?
A long, long time ago,
there was a ghost named Arang and a magistrate named Eun Ho.
Oh, this is so frustrating!
How do I tell you this long story? Where do I start? How?
What are you going to do now?
Why did you drink it?
What are you going to do?
You still can't remember?
Why did you drink from that well? Why?
How many times did I tell you to not drink from it?
I know.
You told me so many times, I have it memorized.
Memorizing is not the same thing as remembering.
But this is the moment that is the most important to us right now.
Thank you for watching "Arang and the Magistrate" with us.
