"Gu Family Book" "Episode 16" "Who are you?" "Are you Choi Kang Chi?" "I asked who you are!" "My name is Gu Wol Ryung." "What brings you here so late in the night?" "Are you here because you are curious about me?" "I guess so." "It's good that you're here." "I was actually curious about you as well." "You're Seo Hwa's son?" "That's what I was told by the monk." " I heard you're looking for the Gu Family book." " I guess the monk told you a lot." "Was it Dam Yeo Wool?" "If she's the reason you want to find the Gu Family book, you should forget it." "If you give up being human, and live as a mythical being..." "I will spare your life." "What kind of nonsense is this?" "Who do you think you are, telling me to give up on being human?" " Who are you?" " You know very well who I am." "I don't really want to know." "And even if I know, I don't want to acknowledge it." "So, get out of my sight." "Go back to where you came from, and never come back!" "Trust me." "Trusting humans only brings betrayal." "They will never accept you." "And they will never believe you." "They will exclude you for being different." "They'll hurt you." "This is my last warning." "Leave the human world immediately." "You want me to leave, and live alone as a monster in the forest like you?" "Never dying, never getting sick..." "Not knowing when the long life will end..." "Alone without being able to see the one I love..." "You want me to lead such a lonely life alone in the woods?" "I'm sorry, but I can't live like that." "Why?" "My..." "My..." "My dream is to live like a human." "You said it well." "You're indeed my student." "Are you the one who was harming those numerous people in the woods?" "Let go of him immediately, and get away from him." "No, Master." "Don't come near!" "Let go of him now!" "No!" "Where are you going?" " You didn't hear that?" " Master Dam will take care of that." " Go in." " It was Kang Chi!" "Go inside." "Give up on becoming human." "Otherwise, I'll destroy everything related to you." "Master!" "Master!" "Wake up." "Please open your eyes." "Breathe, Master!" "Step away." "Master." "Step away!" "Master!" "Hurry!" "Try it." "What does this mean?" "Didn't you come here out of curiosity for me?" "I'm curious about you as well." "So..." "Why don't we take turns asking each other questions?" "Then, I'll ask first." "Go ahead." "Are you Korean?" "Yes, I am." "I'm Korean." "Then, it's my turn to ask." "Are you on Jo Gwan Woong's side?" "I just want to protect my sister who was sold as a state gisaeng." "I see." "I'll ask again." "What relationship do you have with Jo Gwan Woong?" "We exchange money and information according to our needs." " How is that money and information used?" " Sorry... but, it's my turn." "This will also be my last question." "Do you want to take back the Hundred Year Inn?" "If you want, I can do that for you." "My Lady, it's me." "Gon, come in." "What happened?" "What happened last night?" "Kang Chi attacked Master Gong Dal." "What?" "Why would Kang Chi do that?" "I think it must be getting harder for him to control himself." "So, what happened to Master Gong Dal?" "We've taken him in, but he's still unconscious." "And Kang Chi is being guarded." "No." "Let me go out." "I want to check with my own eyes." " My Lady." " Kang Chi would never do such a thing!" "Master Gong Dal is badly hurt!" "And Kang Chi was standing next to him changed into a mythical being." "Do I need to say more?" "I knew this would happen." "He's done this to Master Gong Dal." "Do you really think Kang Chi did this?" "How can you say that when you witnessed it yourself?" " It was no human deed." " Still..." "The brothers are really worried." "So soon after Brother Kim was killed, and now Master Gong Dal..." "How many more sacrifices must we endure?" "Master!" "Admiral Lee is here!" "It must have been troublesome to come here so early." "I heard something happened last night." "Where are you going?" "I need to see the Master." "You can't go anywhere until further orders are given." "Kang Chi, don't do that." "They need time to accept you, too." "You know that, right?" "Everyone, step aside." "That's not a good habit." "Sit up straight." "What did you do to Master Gong Dal last night?" "I didn't do that." "All the evidence is pointing towards you." " I didn't do..." " If you didn't, then who did?" "They will never believe you." "You don't believe me, either?" "They will exclude and hurt you for being different." "Because I'm not human... and I'm different from them, is that why you are suspecting me?" "I'm asking you who's responsible." "That means you won't believe me unless I can prove who did it." " Are you asking me about trust?" " I'm asking if you trust me." "Trust is not something that just falls from the sky one day." "Trust is something you build through time and relationships." "If people don't trust you, it's because you haven't built up a good relationship." "You shouldn't blame others." "So, all of this is my fault?" "You're responsible for everything that happens to you." "No matter how much I try, nobody acknowledges that." "Living your life only to get acknowledged by others... that's hypocrisy, Kang Chi." "I didn't do that to Master Gong Dal." "The weight of trust is the weight of one's relationship." "If you want to be trusted, first learn how to get along with others." "Do you want to stay here a long time with Yeo Wool?" "Then, first, learn how to get along with others here." "Can you give me one more chance?" "The brothers are fearful of you." "They no longer want to stay with you." "I have two days and five bells left." "If I can't protect the remaining bells in those two days, I will leave here on my own." "I will take this as my last chance." "Can you allow it?" "I'm sorry." "I'm really sorry." "I will be back by one." "Just think of it as rest time." "Just take a nap." "I'm really sorry." "Yeo Wool." "How did you come here?" "You're no longer locked up?" "I wouldn't have snuck out like this then." "You snuck out?" "I can't stay out long because of Madame Yeo Joo." "I need to go in soon." "Anyway, are you okay?" "Nobody will tell me anything." "I can't stand it." "What happened to Master Gong Dal?" "Is he badly hurt?" "And why were you there?" "Everyone must think that you're responsible for harming Master Gong Dal, right?" "Did Father scold you?" "Was it bad?" "How's your ankle?" "It's all better." "Still, once you twist it, it's easy to twist again." "Don't run for a while, and be careful." "Okay?" "Hey." "Do you know that your nagging has increased a lot these days?" "Stop fooling around." "You know something else?" "You seem manly these days." "So, does that make you happy?" "What do you think?" "Let's see..." "Your two eyes tell me that you are dying of happiness." "Why don't you just write a poem?" "That's good enough for you to come out at the top." "Don't worry about Master Gong Dal." "I'm sure he'll be okay." " What about you?" " There's hope." "All the brothers want to kick me out, but I still have five bells left." " Did you start the bell test?" " Yes." " Since when?" " Since yesterday." "And you only have five left?" "If I keep the remaining five for the next two days, I can stay at the school." "That's what the Master said." " Now, you have four left." " Gon!" "Gon, seriously!" "I didn't know you were so shameless." "You're the one who called out the lady who is banned from coming out." "Kang Chi didn't call me out, I just snuck out." "Did you hear that?" "This is how much she cares for me." "And you..." "You should go back to your room." "I'll pretend I didn't see you." "Okay, fine." "I'll go back." "Just a bit." "After just a bit." "No!" "Madame Yeo Joo." "You better come back to the room, now." "Okay." "I'll be there." "If something like this happens again, I'll run and tell Master Dam immediately." "And there will be consequences." "Okay." "I'm really sorry." "I was so worried about Master Gong Dal." "Please be understanding." " We'll learn about making blouses." " Blouses?" "Yeah, we should make them." "How?" "Like this?" "I heard Jo Gwan Woong's the one who reported Kang Chi." "You heard the rumor already?" "I heard there's a vicious rumor about him all over the village." "And Jo Gwan Woong's using your agreement pact to corner you." "The Four Masters get their information so quickly." "What will you do?" "Whatever it may be, just give us the order." "First, Park Tae Seo is by Jo Gwan Woong's side." "We'll have to find out what Jo Gwan Woong wants." "And what the Japanese merchants at the inn want." "We'll have to find that out, first." " But..." " About Kang Chi..." "Let me take care of that." "Even if I have to face off against Jo Gwan Woong, I'll take care of that." "A face-off?" "What?" "The admiral wants to have a face-off?" "Yes, he wants to talk to you regarding Choi Kang Chi." "He wanted to know where a good place to meet would be." " Then, tell him to come to the inn." " What?" "Here?" "It's only natural that the one who has something to say should come." "You're talking about the admiral." "He's not someone you can just order around." "If he doesn't want to, he doesn't have to come." "I have nothing to lose." "That won't be hard." "I'll go to the inn." "I hope it's not too troublesome." "It's fine." "Tell him I'll be there by 5." "Master, are you okay?" "It's me, Sung!" "What?" "You can't grab the broom because you're only aiming for it." "The important thing is substance." "Understand?" "A broom is just a broom." "What substance does a broom have?" "Kang Chi, you were here?" "Yeah, Sung." "What are you doing alone?" "I was just thinking." "Sung, come here." " What's this?" " It's a broom, of course." "Then, grab this broom." "Start." "Again." " Okay." " Grab it." "Start." "How did you grab it?" " You want to know?" " I do." "I really want to know." "The important thing is substance." "It's about substance again?" "Not substance." "Teach me some skills." "Think about it." "While the broom is moving, who is the substance behind that broom?" "Who could that be?" "Of course, it's you." "The broom's substance is me?" " You're the one controlling that broom." " So..." "I didn't watch the broom, I looked at your movements." "You move it this time." "Okay." "Start." "Once more." "Do it one more time." "Start." "I got it." "You saw, right?" "I got it." "If this was Gon's sword, he would have cut that off." "Are you one of the Four Masters as well?" "No way." "With my skills, I couldn't even step on the shadows of the Four Masters." "That's how skillful Gon is?" "After Master Dam, he's probably the best in all of the nation." "Don't give up." "Admiral Lee is trying so hard to protect you even at the price of endangering himself." "You can't just back down here." "What do you mean?" "Admiral Lee is in trouble?" "Why?" "You didn't know?" "All together." "Is it true?" "What?" "That there's a vicious rumor about me in the village." "And that Jo Gwan Woong's using that to corner Admiral Lee." "Yes, that's true." " Why didn't you tell me?" " And if I did?" "Do you have a plan?" "I could have prevented the rumor from spreading." "You can't even win over the hearts of your fellow brothers here." "How do you think you'll win over the hearts of the villagers?" "Stop causing trouble for everyone." "You should just worry about protecting the bells around your waist." "What if I have a good plan?" "A way to dispel the vicious rumor, and help the admiral." "Then, will you help me?" " What troubles will you cause now?" " That's right, I would rather believe a stray dog." "We shouldn't trust him!" "If my actions further place Admiral Lee in danger... then, I'll leave here quietly, regardless of the bell test." "I will never return to Moo Hyung Do Gwan or show my face to anyone here." "Does that include Lady Yeo Wool?" "Yes, that includes her." "There's not much time left until 5." "Will you just watch Admiral Lee in trouble, or will you help me?" "What's your decision?" "What is it?" "I have to see you for a moment." "My Lady!" "Oh, Sung!" "Sung, what brings you here?" "Master Gong Dal wanted me to relay a message to you." "What?" "Master Gong Dal?" "What do you mean?" "Kang Chi went down to the village?" "What was Gon doing instead of stopping him?" "Well..." "Wait, hold on." "Sit down." "Kang Chi went down to the village." "I know." "Master, did you..." "Sit down." "I will tell you everything." "What do you need to tell me?" "So, how is Lady Yeo Wool doing?" "She's doing okay." "I see." " And how are you doing?" " What?" "Why do you ask..." "I'm doing okay, too." "I see." "Thank you for taking good care of Lady Yeo Wool." "My Lady, are you sleeping?" "Why is she taking a nap all of a sudden?" "That way." "Oh my..." "What's going on?" "Is there a fight?" "What's going on?" "He's the one who killed Lord Park Moo Sol." "Who's curious to know whether I'm the offspring of a gumiho?" "Who's curious?" "Kang Chi!" "What brings you all the way here?" "You must be busy." "Why did you come down here?" "What happens if they really find out about your identity?" "I'll ask again." "Who's curious to know whether I'm the offspring of a gumiho?" "Seriously..." "Didn't you hear him asking you?" "Raise your hand if you are curious!" "Then, gather in front of the Hundred Year Inn." "There, I will reveal whether I'm the offspring of a gumiho or not." "Hey, Kang Chi!" "Kang Chi!" "Sir, Admiral Lee is here." "Have him come in." "So, you've arrived." "What do you mean?" "Admiral Lee is here?" "I don't know." "He just went in the room." "So, why did you come see me?" "I heard you reported Choi Kang Chi to the police." "A non-human monstrous being is roaming around the woods killing people... how can I just watch that?" "No?" "Is Kang Chi that much of a threat to you?" "What?" " Threat?" " Yes, a threat." "If not, why are you so eager to attack an innocent kid?" "Then, why do you protect such a monster?" "Zen Master Mu Hak once said this to King Tae Jo." "'It takes one to know one.'" "A pig's eye sees a pig." "Buddha's eye sees Buddha." "If you saw Kang Chi as a monster, it must be because you are a monster at heart." "Look here, Admiral." "The citizens are stirred up because of the murder cases." "And the police are working hard." "If you continue causing this kind of a mess" "I will use military law... to punish your wrongdoings." "Please..." "Watch yourself." "Do you dare warn me?" "If that's how you heard it, it's probably right." "Then..." "Let me ask you something." "In a nation, not at war, what is the need for military funds?" "And why do you need to accumulate food rations?" "And what's with that hideous iron-clad fleet?" "All of this is really in preparation for war?" "Isn't this all being done to betray and overtake the nation?" "And the fact that you are keeping the half mythical being Choi Kang Chi around you..." "Isn't that for the same reason?" "The plans for the iron-clad fleet is top secret in the navy." "How did you find out about that?" "Did you plant a spy in our navy?" "Come!" "Come!" "Come out here!" "Kang Chi!" "It's really you, Kang Chi!" "Kang Chi, what brings you here?" "The rumors about you are so vicious..." "That's why I'm here, Father." " What?" " I'm your son, Father." "I'm Choi Kang Chi, son of Choi Ma Reum from the Hundred Year Inn." "How can they call me an offspring of a gumiho?" "I was so angry at hearing that, I couldn't just sit back." " Kang Chi..." " I was mad, too." " What kind of nonsense is that?" " Eok Man..." "Go in, and tell the new owner to come out." "What's all this ruckus?" "You were here, Admiral Lee?" "What brings you here?" "I heard there's some bastard who is spreading vicious rumors about me." "Don't cause trouble." "Just go back." "I don't want to disappoint the one who protected me or get him in trouble." "That's the most trust I can show you." "My Lord." "So, tell me." "What will it take for you to acknowledge that I'm not a gumiho, but the son of Choi Ma Reum?" "Take off the bracelet on your wrist." "I heard that your bracelet is preventing you from turning into a monster." " So, it was the bracelet?" " What?" "So, if I take off the bracelet and don't turn into a monster, what will you do?" "Will you beg for forgiveness for reporting an innocent man and starting a false rumor?" "Just take it off." "Oh my..." "What is Kang Chi planning to do?" "What are you doing?" "If you are human, take off that bracelet." "No." "No, Kang Chi." "Kang Chi!" "Immediately take off that bracelet, and prove yourself." "That's Kang Chi." "He didn't change." "He's normal." "I don't know myself..." "Why this happens when Yeo Wool is next to me." "Good job." "Good job, Kang Chi." "Deputy Seo, how is this possible?" "Take down your sword!" "Choi Kang Chi is a trainee at our school." "If you slay him without a just cause" "I, Dam Pyung Joon, will never forgive the one who wielded that sword." "You still think Kang Chi is a monster?" "Oh my..." "Thanks." "You don't need to say that." "I'm touched by your courage, but if you do this again in the future let me know ahead of time." "Were you nervous?" "Master." "Why did you do such a dangerous thing?" "If I hadn't sent Yeo Wool, what would have happened?" "I knew that wouldn't be the case." "How did you know?" "I trusted in your loyalty to Admiral Lee." "Kang Chi didn't do it." "It was another mythical being." "What do you mean?" "Another mythical being?" "He asked Kang Chi if he was Seo Hwa's child." "But, Kang Chi didn't say anything about that other being." "I know." "I'm thinking Kang Chi has some relationship with that being." "Let's talk more when we get back." " And Yeo Wool..." " Yes, Father." "You should get ready to be punished for sneaking out." "Okay." "What do I do?" "I'm dead." "Kang Chi..." "That's my dear friend." "These are the bells that Kang Chi let me hold on to." "Raise your hand if you still think Kang Chi should leave the school." "Then, I'll take off the bells according to the number of hands." "Anyone else?" "Anyone else?" "Anyone else?" "Stop!" "How much longer will you misunderstand Kang Chi's intentions?" "Kang Chi didn't attack Master Gong Dal." "He was trying to protect him." "Yes, Kang Chi is different from us." "But, I don't think that's a reason for him to be left out and hated." "Amongst us, there are many who came here, tired of being left out because of our origins." "But, look at how we're treating Kang Chi." "We are no different from those who mistreated us." "No?" "So, is there anybody else?" "Now, can I get my bells back?" "What's that for?" "Nobody raised a hand, why did you take that off?" "That was my vote." "I still want you to leave the school." "What?" "You have one left." "Guard it well until sunset if you don't want to get kicked out of here." "Wait." "Thank you, everyone." "For letting me stay here." "To be honest, I have nowhere else to go." "Thank you, everyone." "We're sorry." "Thanks, Sung." "Now, you've finally become one of the beans in the bag." "Right, Kang Chi?" "I finally know the answer." "So, what's the answer?" "One bag." "No matter how many beans there are, when it's put into a bag... it's just one bag." "Tell me." "I got the answer this time, right?" "Well..." "Maybe, maybe not..." "What?" "This is not the right answer?" "Go wash the dishes." "There's a load of dishes to wash." "Oh, my back..." "How strange..." "That has to be the right answer." "I told you to help him, not tell him the answer." "No, I didn't tell him the answer." "He just catches on quickly." "It's been such a long time, Head Mistress." "So, did you find out anything about the Head Merchant?" "No, there's such tight security." "She won't let anyone from the inn come into her room." "But..." "But?" "When I was helping her bathe, I saw something strange." "Strange?" "On her shoulder..." "She had a tattoo that the gisaengs at the Choon Hwa Gwan have." "What do you mean?" "The head merchant had a tattoo from Choon Hwa Gwan on her shoulder?" "That's not all..." "On her other shoulder, she had a scar." "A scar?" "It looked like she was scratched by an animal." "She had claw marks." "It's a wound from a mythical being." "Please take care of it." "That can't be..." "She can't be alive." "So, did you think about what I said?" "First, tell me what your condition is." "I'm sure you're not returning the inn to me to be generous." "I'm sure you want something from me." "Of course, I do." "What is that?" "Become my son." "That will be more than enough." "I'm sorry." "I'm really sorry." "Help me just this once." "This time, I will really be back soon." "So, just sleep." "Kang Chi!" "I'm here." "You came out faster than I thought." "Yeah..." "But, why did you want to see me?" "I have one left." "So, you kept it safe!" "The brothers helped me." "So, you won't be kicked out?" "No." "Good." "Kang Chi!" "Kang Chi!" "Kang Chi!" "Sung..." "Master is looking for you." "Hurry up." "I'll be right there." "Hurry, and go." "Father is looking for you." "Hurry." "Sleep well." "You, too." "Okay." "Did you call for me?" "Sit down." "I heard about the mythical being that attacked Master Gong Dal." "Who is that?" "Do you know who he is?" "Yes, I do." "Who is that?" "Give up on becoming human." "Kang Chi." "Master." "The lady has disappeared again." "I've looked everywhere, but she's not around." "She's not in the school?" "What do you mean?" "That can't be." "She should have returned to her room already." "Yeo Wool!" "Yeo Wool!" "Dam Yeo Wool!" "Yeo Wool!" "Give up on becoming human." "Otherwise, I will destroy everything related to you." "Wol Ryung."
