Gu Family Book
Episode 7
Choi Kang Chi!
Even at that time,
I did not believe his words.
If you can avoid him, avoiding him would be best.
What if
I do not avoid him, what will happen?
One of you two might die.
When he said those nonsensical words
I was going to just ignore them.
But then,
Choi Kang Chi...
What in the world...
What is that?
That monster in front of me,
who is that?
Lady Yeo Wool! It's me! I'm telling you it's me!
Wh-why are you like this? What's happened?
Something is wrong.
S-something
is really wrong!
What?
I have to go...
Cheong Jo is waiting.
I have to go to Cheong Jo...
I have to go.
Now stop.
Now...
Come on down without fussing.
What is this
place?
This place? What do you mean this place?
It is the Choonhwagwan.
It's a
gisaeng house!
Ma'am,
may I come in?
Come in.
What is it?
We have a new girl.
So what?
But she is
the 100 Year Inn's daughter.
I will not go in.
If you don't go in, what will you do?
You will have to go in anyways.
Why not just go in without a fuss?
I said I don't want to!
I will never pass those doors!
If I'm dead I'm dead, but
I will never become a lowly gisaeng!
If you won't become a gisaeng,
what are you going to do?
Come on, tell me.
As a daughter of a traitor, you were sold here to be a state gisaeng.
If you don't become a gisaeng, what will you do?
My father did not commit a treason.
He was wrongly accused!
I am not the person to prove his innocence.
My job is to make you a gisaeng at Choonhwagwan.
That is my job.
Just kill me.
Becoming a lowly gisaeng,
dying would be better!
Just kill me.
If I'm dead I'm dead,
but I will never go through those doors.
Umum,
Yes, Ma'am?
That child
tie her onto the shame tree.
Excuse me?
On the shame tree?
What are you doing?
Strip her,
and tie her onto the shame tree
Yes, ma'am
You people, what do you think you are doing?
Get away from me now!
Give up.
The faster you give up,
your pain will decrease.
You bi***!
After doing this to me,
do you think you'll be safe?
I am Park Cheong Jo,
the daughter of the 100 Years Inn's owner, Park Moo Sol.
I am Park Cheong Jo!
Your father is dead now gone!
Now, the name "Park Moo Sol"
cannot protect you,
nor save you.
So stop relying on your father's name.
From now on, if you're not the one protecting yourself,
there's no way you'll stay alive.
I...
will never forget you.
The shame you have caused me today . . .
someday, you'll pay for this!
Umum,
from now on until i say so,
you cannot give her a single drop of water.
Understood?
Look here!
Stop there!
Where are you going?!
Will you not hurry and untie me from this tree?!
Look here!
Hurry and untie me!
Right now!
What happened?
Since Seo Hwa incident 20 years ago,
not even once,
have we ever used the shame tree again.
How can lowly pricks like us
understand the deep thoughts of our Head Gisaeng?
Father..
Father...
Father!
Is everything you told me the whole truth?
Yes..
It's all true.
Are you sure that he didn't look like a human?
Yes, Father.
We checked all the dead bodies in the forest
and all of them had fatal claw wounds.
Then, how was that kid raised under Moo Sol?
Please give me 3 more men.
Then, I will handle everything.
If we leave him alone, more problems will arise.
Before that happens, I will make sure to get rid of it now.
Gon..
Please approve, master
How about we bring him in?
Wasn't he someone who is like a son to Park Moo Sol?
First we should bring him in and then discuss the about it afterwards.
i also agree with Navy Admiral, Father.
But what if something will happen again?
Some of our own people could get hurt, Sir!
He is Lord Park Moo Sol's person.
He's someone Lord Park Moo Sol cherished.
It's about saving or killing that person.
we can't make this decision so lightly.
Just leave, for now.
Father!
That's enough!
Just leave, Yeo Wool.
I didn't know you were such an uncompassionate kind of person.
Get rid of him by killing him?
How can you say that so easily?
He's not human anymore.
You saw those bodies clearly.
But still..
We should understand his situation first!
"How did he turn out like that?"
"What's happening to that boy?"
It is human nature to at least worry about him.
What I'm worried of..
is only you and your father.
I don't care what about what happens to any other bastard.
Right.
That's how it was.
Your responsibility and your own duty...
You don't know anything but that, right?
Even concerning yourself with other matters beside Father's command
must be too bothersome you could die.
Am I right?
But you know, Gon
Thats why sometimes you feel like a wall to me.
A cold wall that has no heart or feelings.
Do you like him?
To that bastard..
You hold such feelings for him?
Do you have rocks for brains?
I already told you. That bastard's my life saver.
20 years ago,
I killed a mythical creature named Gu Wol Ryung.
A baby was inside a human's womb
I found out afterwards.
So that baby inside her, was it Choi Kang Chi?
If what Yeo Wool said is true, it must be that.
A person with mythical beast's blood flowing in him...
If ever..
Jo Kwan Woong will learn about this
We can't make sure Kang Chi will be safe.
He won't let him live for sure.
If that happens, then it's a relief.
What do you mean 'relief'?
What are you implying?
Aren't we currently facing a half monster
half human?
We can't determine how strong that boy is but
the fact that he possesses stronger destructive power than human...
There's no doubt about that.
If Jo Kwan Woong knows about this
and and lusts after his power and tries to get that child on his side.
We..
We may be unable to stop him.
Then..
First, we must find that child.
But..
as Gon stated, if that child is
in a dangerous state, then what will we do then?
What if he harms innocent people?
Then..
I will slit his throat myself.
Lady,
are you sleeping?
Master is looking for you.
Lady Yeo Wool!
How did this happen?
Am I dreaming?
Disappeared? What do you mean by that?
Last night, we lost contact from those who were chasing after Choi Kang Chi and Park Tae Seo.
I sent two scouts,
but they came back without finding them.
It's not just one or two men
half a dozen men disappeared without a trace?
It seems that their trace has vanished due to the night rain.
And so?
In the end, you lost Park Tae Seo and even that bastard Choi Kang Chi?
I apologize, My Lord.
Please give me a couple more days.
After I check the situation..
That's interesting..
Yes?
I mean, Choi Kang Chi.
I had an inkling that he wasn't an ordinary man but
he got rid of a half dozen men without a trace?
If that's true then he is someone that I desire.
Isn't that right?
What are you saying right now?
I can't even understand a thing you're saying!
A mythical creature?
My real father is a mythical creature?
What exactly is that damn thing?
Watch your mouth!
He's a holy presence who protected this mountain for last thousand years!
Monk.
Are you telling me an urban legend right now?
What the hell kind of nonsense is this?!
So what?
Are you saying I'm not human? Is that it?
Is that what you mean?
Your mother is human so I guess you're half human.
Hey,
You're kidding, right?
This person, really..
How dare you trick me with such nonsense!?
Do you want to die?!
You should know better than anyone else that your body isn't what it used to be.
Didn't you feel breaking pain all over your body as you transformed into a mythical creature?
Isn't that pain still in your inner core?
Didn't I tell you to stay low for just 10 days?
If you did not make trouble and turned 20 years old,
you could've lived as a human forever.
That's nonsense.
So, I'm not human right now?
For the time being, stay only at the Moonlight Garden.
That's the best place for you until you can control your strength.
Innocent people can become hurt because of you.
Don't be ridiculous!
What the hell!
How is this even possible!?
How?
Turn me back..
Turn me back to my usual appearance.
Just accept it.
This is your real image, Kang Chi.
No, that's impossible!
There's no way I could be a monster like this!
Is this enough?
Is this enough for me to turn back into the old me?
I'm asking you if this is enough!
Kang Chi..
Please!
Please help me change back..
To my usual human appearance.. Please help me change back!
I can't go back if I'm like this.
To Chung Jo.. Even to other people..
I can't go back like this.
Please!
Please help me change back to the way I was.
Please..
Return me back to the way I was before!
That's impossible..
♫Love approaches like spring rain,♫
♫And soaks me moistly♫
♫My heart that was frozen♫
Poor thing...
♫Silently melts it and wakes me up♫
Brother..
Kang Chi..
♫My fluttering heart♫
♫I think it is the love♫
♫That I didn't know until now♫
Chung Jo..
♫Love, just like the beginning♫
♫Makes me being able to be born again♫
♫I'm smiling, today and tomorrow again♫
How..
How is it that nobody's coming?
♫I feel you♫
♫That day when spring rain was falling♫
I'm even waiting like this..
Why is it that nobody's coming?
Why..
♫Travel through time like this♫
♫Just like fate,♫
♫Becomes spring rain♫
♫And comes♫
Eat slowly! Slowly!
You'll get sick if you eat too much suddenly.
It seems that you've decided to be alive.
Do you still have your former resolve?
Do you still have a noble's pride left?
If that is so..
You must need some more time tied to the shame tree.
Why?
Of course, it's a place you don't want to go back to.
Then it's better to leave you pride.
Just stop and leave everything behind now.
If you're ready to throw away everything
You can eat the porridge there.
What do you want to do?
Would you like to be retied to the shame tree
or will you sit here and eat warm porridge?
That's right. You should do that.
I told you to eat slowly. You're going to get heartburn like that.
Oh my,
When she finishes her meal,
Give her a bath and dress her up.
I understand.
Eat.
It's been 4 days already.
How long are you planning to sit there like that?!
You..
How did you..
Are you trying to starve yourself to death?
What?
Why refused a meal someone has brought for you specially.
You should eat it and say "Thank you!".
Here.
You haven't eaten for 4 days. What are you doing?
Aren't you hungry?
You..
What are you doing here?
How did you know how to come here?
I followed you from when you were in the forest.
What?
You don't have to be surprised.
Whatever is happening to you
I heard it from the beginning.
Everything including what the priest said to you.
And you still followed me?
Yeah.
Why?
You..
You don't think I'm strange?
Of course, you're strange.
And so, what?
You were strange looking even before this.
Your eye color just changed
So what?
Just like your life has ended,
Are you going to shrivel up and die in the corner?
Why starve with perfectly good food around?
Here.
Here!
I'm not hungry. Go away.
Then you'll really starve to death!
Why do you care if I starve?
If I'm like this, I'd rather starve to death.
Aya!
Why is a mountain person being weak like this?
What about this
is causing you to just sit there and stew?
The likes of this?
Does this look like a minor something to you?
I became a monster.
I'm not a human being anymore!
But you're still alive!
I..
I thought you were dying that night.
But still..
you're still living well.
Isn't that still fortunate?
You see it as something fortunate?
What can I do if I live like this?
As a monster,
not even as a human, how can I live like this?
So, what will you do by just sitting here?
You won't get the answers you need and turn back into a human.
If you really believe you'll find your solution, stay here for a hundred or a thousand years.
Way to go! I'll stand next to you and applaud and cheer!
Damn it!
Of course, you're damned.
After seeing all this, even I was shocked and don't want to believe it.
But as the victim,
you must be shocked and scared.
I understand.
But, you see,
What?
Despite all that,
You're still Choi Kang Chi.
Whatever happens to your outer appearance,
What's inside you
will always be Choi Kang Chi.
Isn't that right?
Right?
I don't know anymore.
I don't even remember how I change into this that night.
How I fought..
How many people I've killed.. I don't remember.
My whole body feels like I'm burning.
It hurt as if all the bones in my body are breaking!
After feeling like that for a few days
Definitely smell
And I can even hear
the birds and all the noises meters away.
I, who became like this,
I'm not sure if I'm still Choi Kang Chi
or if I really became a monster,
I, myself, don't know.
You..
It's right that you're still Choi Kang Chi.
If you're really a monster
Then you wouldn't be this confused
Isn't that right?
Forget it.
Even if comfort me with those words, it's not going to change anything.
Go away.
Kang Chi..
If you can avoid it, you must do so. It's that kind of fate.
Just in case
If I can't avoid that fate.. What will happen?
One of you might die.
Could it be..
Those two..
Listen!
Starting today,
The owner of 100 Years Inn
is Lord Jo Kwan Woong.
After catching the traitor, the lord has taken over this inn.
As the rules state,
all of you will become his subjects
Just remember that from now on.
Do you understand?
Did you understand?
Yes.
Hey,
bring in the criminals.
Bring in the criminals.
My Lady! My Lady!
The criminals should listen
According to the rules,
Although you should be treated as slaves,
thanks to the lord's kind heart,
you will be employed under him. Serve him with loyalty and put you heart to it.
Do you understand?
I wonder how long you'll last
with that powerless title.
Powerless title?
You..
may take the title of the 100 Year Inn,
but you'll never take the entire inn.
My family's vengeance is buried here
and we'll curse you forever. You'll suffer more.
You'll suffer more pain than you've ever experienced.
Shut your mouth.
The power you obtained at the heavy cost of people's blood,
Scrape up all the authorities in this world and bring them.
No matter how hard you try, you will never be able to change your dirty blood.
I told you to shut your mouth.
My Lady!
Jo Kwan Woong.. You bastard!!
This place will soon
be your grave.
My Lady! My Lady!
My Lady!
Shut up!
Anyone that makes a noise will be punished
My Lady! My Lady
My Lady!
Tae So...
Chung Jo...
Aigoo.. My Lord..
It really suits you. It's really made for you.
So,
this will be my grave. Huh?
Yes?
Aigoo.. No, it's not what I mean..
There's something I'm really curious about.
What could that possibly be?
Yes?
The one thing I can't possess even if I own the inn.
Is there another secret within 100 Years Inn?
No way, she was just trying to mess with you, my lord.
Of course.
There's no reason to be surprised.
What happened?
He's fighting right now.
What do you mean fighting?
Who is?
The beast is fighting the human
It's a fight Kang Chi has to settle himself.
It's not something you should meddle with, Miss.
But.. What if something happens?
Whether he survives or dies, it's his fate.
What?
It's up to him to accept it or deny it.
It doesn't matter which one he chooses. It will soon decide his fate.
How is it that you even know about a person's fate?
It's just that I know you're not supposed to interfere in his fight anymore.
There's no reason for me to interfere. He has a girl he likes.
That's cause he's an idiot.
Please don't interfere anymore and just go your own way, Miss.
Kang Chi will meet his fate on his own.
Please...Please someone save me.
It hurts so much
I think I'm going to die.
Kang Chi..
Please..
Endure it.
You..
You're Choi Kang Chi.
Don't forget your name.
Kang Chi..
Help me..
I want to kill..
All of you!
I want to kill you!
It seems that it would be better to leave this place.
What did you say?
You might be in danger as well, Miss. Please leave this place!
What can I do?
What about Choi kang Chi?
I think he lost the fight.
Master..
Oh, Gon..
What happened? What about Yeo Wool?
Any news from Yeo Wool?
I'm sorry...still..
Hmm.
Just where did she go?
She didn't even tell me..It's been four days.
It's my fault.
I'm supposed to be near her..
Master!
Lady Yeo Wool!
Lady!
What's wrong? Are you hurt?
What happened?
You didn't even say anything about leaving
Please help..
Choi Kang Chi..He's in danger..
Theres no time!
Please.. Stop him father!
Won't you get out of my way?
And where are you going to go..
I'm going to go kill everything
The people who made my lord suffer!
One by one,
I will end all their lives!
That's right..
Right now in your body..
you've been suppressing the urges for the past 20 years so...
it must be unbearable.
But if you keep giving in,
you will cause more trouble and
slowly you will even forget your own identity!
I said to move!
I used to take on your father,
Please don't act like this!
Wake up, Kang Chi!
Choi Kang Chi!
Are you Chung Jo?
Yes..what do you want?
Follow me
I sure ate well!
That's right!
Should I continue?
Come here. Come here!
Let's have a drink!
It's over here
That's right that's right!
It's Wol San.
You've changed into a dirtier person.
I'm not in a mood to fight with you
Move!
I don't want to fight you either, but...
I was ordered by my lady, so I have no choice.
Kang Chi!
If you take that off, you won't have another chance to become Choi Kang Chi again.
If you want to break it and fight anyway, you may,
Because that's your fate and your choice.
This is as much as I can do for you.
I think it's solved now.
What did you just say?
Who's room did Chung Jo go into?
I don't think she knew what was going on.
She just followed Wol-son into the room.
What are you doing?
Don't just stay there. Go in and greet the Lord.
Didn't you hear what I said?
Who do you think you are?
Just let her be.
Just watching her isn't that bad.
I apologize, My Lord.
She's not trained yet.
It's okay, Wol-Sun
The better the prize, you need to admire it first.
Then admire the scent
and then finally enjoy the taste.
Right now, my eyes
are quite satisfied.
I want to go back to my room now.
Let me go back.
What did you say?
I don't want to be here anymore.
Please.
Oh my...
Why are you doing this?
In this place,
those that don't know their place
are supposed to be treated harshly.
Also,
I'm a top gisaeng here
How dare someone as low as you
talk back to me?
It seems you're still not in your senses.
Won't you lower that hand?
Why is an uneducated Gisaeng here?
It seems she got lost.
That's why you should have kept an eye on that new child.
Am I not right?
Take Chung Jo.
Yes.
I apologize, My Lord.
We sent you someone that wasn't ready.
Isn't that evidence that you're old now?
That girl was Chung Jo, right?
Looking at her reminds me of an old incident.
Seo-hwa.
Do you remember?
There shouldn't be another mistake.
Isn't that right, Head Chon?
What are you doing?
Why are you treating me like a prisoner?
We're not doing this to harm you.
We're helping you.
I don't need any help.
Immediately untie this rope.
Kang Chi!
Please stop.
There's no point in explaining to him.
What should I do, Master?
Turn him over to the police.
Father!
Why are you doing this?
You said you'd help him.
That's why I'm helping him.
How is sending him there, helping him?
That place is already
controlled by Jo Kwan Woong.
It's the governor's wish.
Do you know what your crime is?
No, I don't really know.
What crime?
Tsk tsk.
Such arrogant brat!
Are you saying you don't know what your crime is?
I already said that I don't know. That's why I'm asking. What did I do wrong?
Tell me!
100 Years Inn owner Park Moo Sol
The crime of murder!
Not just that,
illegal breaking in
of the prison and freeing prisoners
and
even killing the guards.
With these three crimes,
you are already able to face the death penalty!
Do you understand?
Death penalty?
Alright!
I can give you all my body parts.
But it won't work just with that.
Let me kill just one more person from here.
What?
The one who accused Lord Park Moo Sol of treason.
The one who even ruined his family. That bastard, Jo Kwan Woong!
Just let me kill that one person then, including my life, I can give you everything.
How is that?
This.. This..
Such disgusting and arrogant brat!
I don't even have to send you to prison,
I'll execute you right here!
What are you doing?
Call in the executioners
and Hang his head!
You can't.
It's an execution. Are you just going to watch?
Didn't you say you'd give something more than your life?
Alright..
What is it that's greater than your life?
It's my determination to kill you
What will you do?
Determination, you say...
What a touching thing to say.
That was it?
I'm gaining more interest in you.
Or maybe..
Do you have anything else?
I will give you one last chance.
Be my subordinate.
Then I will spare your life.
I don't know what sh*t you're talking about.
If you swear loyalty to me
I might even give you power and wealth.
Even a passing dog wouldn't accept that. Enjoy it by yourself!
I don't want to take anything but your life.
Well, that's a waste.
What are you doing?
Start the execution already.
Didn't you hear him? Start the execution.
Yes!
If that breaks, you can't become Choi Kang Chi again.
Stop right there!
Who are you?
Naval Commander of the Jeolla Province,
Lee Soon Shin.
Naval Commander...
Why are you in here?
I heard my subordinate was caught here and I came in a hurry.
What?
Your subordinate?
Who exactly are you talking about?
The name is.. Choi Kang Chi.
This person who is standing here.
Are you doing well, Kang Chi?
I came here to take you back.
This 100 Years Inn.. I will take it back with my own hands.
Then, I will your life as well.
If he starts to behave suspiciously, end his life.
Me. I will do it.
Let's go..
You won't be alone anymore. Believe in me.
The person who killed your father..is Choi Kang Chi.
Tae Seo!
If you see him, kill him instantly.
