Gu Family Book
Episode 21
Who is she- that woman?
How...
How come it hurts me so much just to look at her?
Wol Ryung
Wol Ryung?
Wol Ryung
Is that you?
Who are you?
Do you know me?
Wol Ryung
You can't.
Kang Chi
You can't do this anymore.
Don't kill anyone else anymore.
I won't let you kill.
I...
will stop you.
Wol Ryung.
Stop it.
I know that you're suffering.
And I know that that is not your real appearance.
Also, that,
besides me, no one can stop you. I know that too.
I will stop you.
I...
I will stop you.
No, Wol Ryung!
No.
Don't be like that.
He's your child.
He's our son!
So don't be like that.
Kang Chi!
No!
Your skills are amazing, my Lord.
I used to be a military officer, you know.
Kang Chi
Darn it!
Kang Chi!
Kang Chi.
Kang Chi
There is no end to this. Let's escape for now.
Stop!
Kang Chi...are you ok?
I'm okay. Don't worry, Mother.
Kang Chi!
Kang Chi.
How did this happen, Kang Chi?
Yeo Wool.
Do something, hurry!
Just endure it for now.
It's okay, just bear it a little longer.
A bit, just a bit more.
You did well, Pledged Brother.
What? You mean all of them?
Yes, my Lord.
Then what happened to Gu Wol Ryung? Are you saying that you've lost him?
I left six of my men to stay and scout the area.
As soon as they find his trace, they'll report.
Darn it!
It's Jae Ryeong.
You may come in!
We have a problem.
What is it again?
My men have lost the Head.
What are you saying again this time?
Didn't you say you'd take care of it?
Looks like Choi Kang Chi and his friends intercepted and took her.
What?
Then that bastard Kang Chi followed Seo Hwa?
If we look at it, it's the Martial Arts Academy, my Lord.
The Martial Arts Academy is not the problem!
Behind that, there's Admiral Lee Soon Shin!
Do you still not know what that means?
Sh*t!
I heard that the head of Goongbon is here.
Yes,
She's currently inside with Master Dam.
This is my mother, My Lord.
Greetings. I'm the head of Goongbon, Ja Hong Myeong.
I'm Lee Soon Shin.
I heard you have something to tell me.
Kang Chi, step outside for a bit.
Please do that.
Okay, then.
Have a seat.
Have they finished talking?
But why are you alone? Where's your mother?
It seems like she has something important to tell the Admiral.
They told me to step outside.
No, it wasn't me!
If you didn't do it then...
My...
stomach did it.
Ta-dah!
It's chicken!
It looks delicious!
Go ahead and eat a lot.
I'll eat well, Teacher!
You have to eat especially well after working hard!
True, true, teacher!
First, for the hungriest person in the group...
Here.
No, it's fine. You eat it. You bled a lot in any case.
Here, this too.
Hey, I told you I'm fine.
So you eat it.
I'm fine too. You eat it.
Geez, I'm really fine. You eat first since you're hungry.
I'm really fine...
No, really its fine. I'm not hungry much.
-Eat! -Yeo Wool, you eat first!
Then,
if you two don't want to eat it, I will.
The chicken leg...
Then, I will eat too.
Then, at least the wing...
What women eats the wings?
No. Eat the ______.
I'm going to eat what I want to.
No. Not the wings.
Just eat the red ginseng and let me eat this!
I'm going to eat the wings.
You don't know what eating the wings means. No!
Here, this... - What do you know?
Yeo Wool! Yeo Wool!
Ah... to be young... is a good.
Here, eat something else.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi will start a war for sure.
That's what I think, too.
However, what I'm worried about is not the outside, but among us.
For the past 20 years, Jo Gwan Woong has been funded by Goongbon
to expand his political network within Joseon.
The extent of the Goongbon funds infiltrating the key figures of the court and other lords
besides Jo Gwan Woong
is even deeper and wider than you think, my Lord.
So, what is it you want to tell me?
A total of 11 court officials from the Southern Province are receiving funds from Goongbon.
I know all of their names.
I'll give your their names, but instead
I have a request.
Tae Seo, are you leaving?
Yes.
How about leaving the 100 Year Inn now?
Won't it be dangerous for you stay there alone now?
As long as the merchants of Goongbon are there, I need to stay there and watch them.
If things start looking dangerous, send father to let me know.
I'll come to help you no matter what!
What are you doing?
Oh, this?
It's the challenge that the Head Gisaeng, who has the symbol of Orchid, gave me.
I'm supposed to fell this tree and bring a house built with it.
Perhaps, do you know what this means?
First, in order to turn the "wood" into a house, you have to start from cutting the bottom.
What do you see?
The character for root, bon?
Is this about the essence again?
Without knowing his true essence,
a man cannot truly know himself.
Once you find out what your essence is, you'll also appreciate who you are for real.
I think that's the main objective of that challenge.
My essence?
You can rest here.
From now on, don't sleep sitting, but lie down comfortably at night.
How are your wounds?
Thanks to the divine creature side of my body, wounds heal pretty fast for me.
I see.
Even though your so-called mother did not have a good life,
You...
grew up so well.
From what you see, is that so?
Yes,
Yes, I'm very proud of you. And...
I'm grateful.
That's a relief.
I got a compliment from you.
To tell you the truth,
I went to find you.
As soon as I woke up,
I went back to the Moonlight Garden where I had left you,
But the mountains wouldn't open the path.
For over a month, I tried to find the way
over and over. But
I couldn't find a way to get to you.
I didn't mean to abandon you, Kang Chi.
As long as I lived till now, not one single day,
did my heart forget you.
Yes...
Mother.
So having a mother, is a good thing.
Isn't the relationship between parent and child really strange?
Nobody can hurt the feelings of a parent more than a child, and vice versa.
Has the master ever hurt your feelings?
Whenever he's mean to Kang Chi, it hurts.
Since he's especially mean to only Kang Chi.
I understand Master's feelings.
He's heard that you two shouldn't be together,
that fate may kill one of you.
It's no surprise that he's afraid.
I'm not afraid of the future that hasn't happened yet.
What is future, after all?
Isn't it just what the moments right now turn into?
If I change now because of my future,
what's the point of living in the present?
Speaking of which, Gon, I'd like to work out right now. How about a round of sparring?
My Lord, an urgent message has come!
All the villagers of Goonjeong town near Yongdam Vale have been killed!
My Lord!
An urgent message! The people of Hakbongri and Youngdaeri have all been killed!
Please spare me.
Please spare me!
What? Wol Ryung, that bastard...
Yes, my Lord. Apparently, he's killing anybody and everybody he sees!
He's already wiped out Goonjeong, Dabbon, and now Youngdaeri.
He's got to Youngdaeri already?
Then, the next place is...
the 100 Year Inn.
At this rate, he'll get to the 100 Year Inn in a matter of hours.
Jeong Moo, go alert Magistrate Jeong about this,
and evacuate all the villagers that live near the 100 Year Inn to the base.
Yes.
Take the ten most skilled soldiers to help the local authorities
in the efforts of containing the divine creature.
Yes, Admiral.
Officer Kim, go notify the Moo Hyung Academy about this.
Yes, Admiral.
Someone stop me.
My thirst isn't quenched. I just want to kill all!
Please...
Someone please stop me!
Look here. You're really going to go easy on me, are you?
If I fight for real, you will lose. And you hate losing.
I hate fake wins even more! Do it seriously!
What if you get hurt?
Are you looking down on me?
Right now, you just received a wound that pierced your ribs.
You just got stabbed in the back.
Half a step too late.
What a shame! Had I been just a tad faster, it would have been a clean hit!
Don't you think so, Gon?
It's because you haven't been practicing because of the lock-in.
Once you start practicing again, you'll be back in shape in no time.
I'll have to double my training starting tomorrow
Please take care of my son.
What?
Take care and treasure him.
Please.
Why are you saying this all of a sudden?
I am going to go stop him.
What?
As a mother, I can not put that kind of burden on my son.
I...
will stop him.
But I heard Gu Wol Ryung has lost all of his memories.
That he doesn't remember anybody and just wants to annihilate everything.
And you just returned to Kang Chi.
Kang Chi is so happy. How can you just leave like this?
Seeing you next to Kang Chi,
I came to realize you can bring him more happiness than me.
That was how I could make this decision.
Even children who grew up in your arms, when they reach a certain age
you have to let them go.
He's become a great man and has met a beautiful woman,
I have nothing else I could wish for.
But...
The love that I couldn't protect out of my foolishness,
Please protect yours.
Okay?
Kang Chi.
Hmm?
Get up for a moment.
Oh?
What happened? Why're you here?
Where's Mother?
Did she go somewhere?
She went down
to the village.
to stop Wol Ryung.
What?
She told me to keep it a secret from you,
but I thought I shouldn't.
I thought you should know.
Hurry up! Hurry up!
Hurry, hurry!
Hurry up! Hurry up!
Why haven't you evacuated yet? Please leave immediately!
Did you think I was the kind of person to run from a demon?
N.. No. I... I didn't mean that.
Still, considering the fact that it's a...
He may be an immortal, but even that wouldn't keep him alive without a head.
Isn't that right?
Things are taking an interesting turn. This might work in our favor.
I heard that the navy sent reinforcements here. That means, the base is
practically empty.
Don't you think so, Kakeshima Daijyu?
I understand. I'll bring back the stolen maps tonight.
Then..
Yes.
Who's there?
Where are you going?
You tell me. What're you hiding from me?
She is my mother, Gon!
Hurry and tell me! Please let me know.
Gu Wol Ryung...
is taking down town after town, I heard.
Goonjeong, Hakbong, and even Youngdaeri.
All the villagers have been killed, I heard.
Then...my mother?
She went down to the village
to stop Wol Ryun herself.
What?
Which village?
Kang Chi.
Where did she go?!
Goonjeong, Hakbong, Youndaeri means his next stop is the 100 Year Inn, Kang Chi.
Just wait a minute.
Let's go together.
I'll go grab my sword so wait here.
I'll be right back, wait for me, okay?
Take care of Yeo Wool.
Lady, what are you doing right now?
An emergency came up.
Taking your bow and sword. What is this emergency?
To protect someone.
Gon.
Move aside, Gon.
I received a request from Kang Chi.
To deliver this message.
I'll be back.
You know that Kang Chi stays true to his word.
So, this one time listen to him and wait here.
This is not a fight for mortals.
But Kang Chi can't do it alone.
If something goes wrong, he might go berserk again.
I have to be by his side, Gon.
No, Kang Chi can do it with his own strength.
What did you say?
Without the bracelet or Miss, Kang Chi can control his transformation.
Without me, he can do that?
So, please stop worrying.
In any case, Kang Chi may be
a lot stronger than we thought or what he even knows.
Keep your wits about you!
This is enough.
Stop it, Wol Ryung.
Please
Stop here.
Wol Ryung.
♫ There's a stone for the things forgotten ♫
♫ Just a stone for all you wanted ♫
♫ Look, a stone for what will not be: ♫ ♫ All you thought was there. ♫
♫ Count the stones don't think about him. ♫
Wol Ryung!
Wol Ryung.
Wol Ryung!
Wol Ryung.
Seo Hwa!
Yes.
You remember.
I missed you so much.
Wol Ryung!
♫ There's a time for everything, ♫ ♫ There's a song for every dream. ♫
We... Let's go back now.
To the Moonlight Garden where we used to be.
No.
I can't let her go like this.
Let her go.
You have to let her go, Kang Chi.
My Lord...
For you,
this is your mother's last choice.
I have a request.
It's a useless mother's last request.
Please, that my Kang Chi
may live the life he wants,
give him guidance and care.
I don't want my son to watch me as I go
down the last path of my life.
Please.
Please, I beg of you.
No.
I finally got to meet her.
Now, I can finally look at my mother's face.
Now, finally,
I can pour my heart out and call her "Mother".
I can't let her go.
I can't let her go, Admiral!
Please let me go.
Please, your mother's intentions,
Please, don't let your mother's wishes go in vain.
My Lord!
The heart of a parent who wants to protect her son,
please understand.
My Lord...
My Lord..
For twenty years, the revenge you've been dreaming of,
ended up in vain like this.
That's a pity, Seo Hwa.
I will give you a last chance.
Come to me.
Then I will forget everything and I will accept you.
That is exactly,
the punishment for you.
What?
Even after possessing power, money, the governing rights of the Southern Province, you won't be satisfied.
So you'll be more desperate, more thirsty, more hungry, but
You will not get what you want to have. And that is
your punishment.
Yoon Seo Hwa!!
Did you wake up just now?
You, are you alright?
In the end, it's only your name that I can remember.
In the end,
I can only remember your face.
As soon as the day breaks, go back to where the humans live.
I don't even know when this memory will disappear.
I'm sorry, Wol Ryung!
Back then,
I was too young.
My heart was not big enough
to bear your love for me.
For hurting you, I'm sorry.
For causing you pain, I'm sorry.
Always,
I kept it as something important.
Someday,
if I ever meet you, if I could only meet you,
to turn you back to the way you were, if at all possible.
I will put everything back to the way it was.
Seo Hwa, what are you saying right now?
In your life of eternity, I may mean
less than a passing wind,
but still, please remember me.
To me,
you were my everything, Wol Ryung.
No!
Seo Hwa!
No, Seo Hwa!
Seo Hwa! Seo Hwa!
Seo Hwa.. Seo Hwa..
Seo Hwa!
Seo Hwa.
Seo Hwa!
Seo Hwa.
Please.
Please let go of this hand.
Let go immediately, Seo Hwa!
Let go of this hand.
I love you,
Wol Ryung.
And..
I'm sorry.
That this is all my love can do.
Seo Hwa..
No!
No! Seo Hwa!
No!!
No, Seo Hwa!
Seo Hwa!
Seo Hwa!! No!!
No! No! No!
Seo Hwa! No!
No!
Seo Hwa.
♫ I look at you from far away, ♫
♫ you who asked not to be forgotten ♫
♫ My tears, my sad memories, ♫
♫ my love whom I miss ♫
♫ I always visualize you out from under the same sky ♫
♫ Yes, I live in pain like this ♫
Seo Hwa.
Seo Hwa, no..
Seo Hwa!
No!
You can't, Seo Hwa!
I didn't hate you.
I just missed you so much.
You can't..
I wasn't blaming you.
I just loved you so much.
Seo Hwa!
I love you, Seo Hwa.
Seo Hwa! You can't! No!
Seo Hwa! Seo Hwa!
You can't.
No!
Seo Hwa, please open your eyes.
Seo Hwa!
Here.
Just a moment ago, Kang Chi left it here.
He said it's the answer to your challenge, Head Gisaeng.
[Mother]
When I fell the tree, I saw the character for root, bon.
The house that is the root for me
is the one who gave birth to me. My mother.
It seems like it is raining.
Seems like the monsoon is starting.
♫ You are the person who made me aware that my heart is beating.
♫ You are the person who fills my every breath.
♫ Even if I try to push you away, even if I try to clear you away,
♫ More and more you are the person I yearn for.
♫ Because like a defeated person's wound, someone who is hurting more,
♫ A person who seems to feel as though he were dying.
♫ Even if I try to hide, even if I try to deny it
♫ Only one person fills my heart.
Kang Chi..
Yeo Wool..
Now, even with Kang Chi's strength alone, it's possible.
Without the bracelet, without Miss, he can control his divine creature powers.
Now you should stop and let him go, Yeo Wool.
What?
Father, what did you just say?
Now, for Kang Chi to find the Gu Family Book, I think Kang Chi has to leave and we have to let him go.
Father.
Make it possible for him to leave, Yeo Wool.
You have to let go so that Kang Chi will be able to leave.
♫ The person who gives me love which is something which only hurts,
♫ Even if I try to hide it, even if I try to deny it,
♫ Only one person fills my heart.
♫ The reason I am living is you, only you.
You're back.
I'm back.
And your mother?
My mother...
About my mother...
♫ You are the only one who can make me feel.
♫ I'm calling you now. I'm standing here for you.
She left.
My mother...
I see...
♫ You are my one and only everything in this world.
♫ As if my chest were going to burst, you are the only person I call for.
I see.
Yeo Wool.
♫ You are the only person I will see forever.
♫ You are the only person I will love forever.
Now, let him go Yeo Wool.
You have to let go so that Kang Chi will be able to leave.
♫ The only person in my heart is you.
♫ The words " I love you." ♫
♫ The words "Wait for me" ♫
♫ They just ring in my ears ♫
♫ The words I couldn't say hurt me. ♫
I want to grow old with Yeo Wool.
I don't even want to think about me in a world with Yeo Wool.
I don't even want to think about me in a world without Yeo Wool.
This is the end, huh?
But sometimes, I think i'll miss you.
Lee Soon Shin has the list that Ja Hong Myung left.
What do you want to do?
Would you like to make a deal with me?
What did you just say..
Between the two of us, one might die? So give up on Yeo Wool and leave.
The time we have left with each other is 3 days. Will I be able to let you go, Kang Chi?
What am i supposed to do with you, Yeo Wool?
