Cheong-myeong, is that you?
You look happy,
Princess Song-hwa.
FULL MOON
Why are you here?
Why do you think?
Do you think I came here to congratulate your wedding?
I shouldn't have shown you mercy back then.
The big smile you had on your face earlier
was very beautiful.
What a pity.
The groom is never going to see it.
I'll greet him in your stead.
My smile might not look beautiful, though.
Chan-sung.
Hey, Mi-ra.
She's my friend. I wonder how she knew I'd be here.
Chan-sung.
You brought her here.
I'm sorry for making you uncomfortable.
This is why you came.
They had no intention of letting me go...
from the beginning.
Jang Man-wol.
Is there something wrong?
She's smiling again...
right in front of me.
Gosh, Mi-ra!
Go look after her.
That is your job.
Here.
-Hey, Chan-sung. -Oh, sorry.
-Hold my hand. -Okay.
Here.
Thanks.
Well...
I did come to bother you,
but I didn't know I'd end up doing it this way.
Drink this.
You drank seawater earlier. It'll refresh you.
Was her name Jang Man-wol?
Your boss. Did she leave because of me?
Do you know her by any chance?
No, I've never seen her before.
Why do you ask? Did she say she knows me?
Did I see her at the hospital?
Anyway, I'm being such a nuisance.
By the way, that was not intentional at all.
The wind blew suddenly as if someone was pushing me.
My gosh, that was so scary.
Was it she who did that?
Nothing's been going my way. I must be cursed or something.
Should I go see a shaman?
You need to sprinkle salt.
You must purify yourself when evil ghosts are bugging you.
Don't stay out until late at night just in case, and try not to be alone.
You sound just like my grandma right now.
She always used to say that I must be careful at all times
because of my bad karma from my past lives.
She gave me this. She said it'll protect me.
You still wear that bracelet?
You remember it.
Chan-sung, I think bad ghosts are following me around.
-Stay with me at night. -I have to work at night.
I called a cab for you, so just go home when it comes.
I lost my purse though.
I've already paid for the cab ride.
I'll put it on your tab, so pay me back.
Don't forget that you're in debt, which is even scarier than ghosts.
Gosh.
My gosh.
Chan-sung.
You brought her here.
This is why you came.
I wonder if she's okay.
LEE MI-RA
"Lee Mi-ra."
She's the girl he used to date back when he was in the States.
What a cruel twist of fate.
Enough is enough, please.
DELETE ONE IMAGE
Gosh, how much longer will you folks keep that up?
Let's go!
I have a lot on my mind right now.
Those ridiculous dance moves are really getting on my nerves.
Enough, okay?
This is nice!
My gosh, so nice!
Next news.
Ms. Park Heung-ja, the oldest living person in the country...
You folks can
take a break and start dancing away again after I get off.
She was the only living person in the country born in the 19th century.
Ms. Park lived to be 120 and led a happy life
with her children and grandchildren, always offering positive words of wisdom
with a smile on her face.
She led a great life and passed away with no regrets.
IN MOURNING
You've enjoyed a fortunate life for over a century,
so you can leave with no regrets.
You're going to leave like this?
Your great-grandson's wife is due quite soon.
Wait a couple of months, and you can meet your great-great-grandchild.
She lived for 120 years.
She has 8 children and 24 grandchildren.
It'd be foolishly greedy of her to stay just to meet
her great-great-grandchild.
Your great-great-grandchild will be so adorable.
You'll be incredibly sad if you don't get to meet this baby.
I said, she lived for 120 years.
You have nothing to be sad about.
Why stop a soul who is ready to rest in peace?
I stopped her? No, her great-great-grandkid did.
She has witnessed three centuries
and experienced everything humans could possibly experience
in one lifetime.
And because of you, that special soul will
wander around the realm of the living now.
They won't let such a special soul wander around.
Look, that nosy woman is already here.
Her children are great cooks.
This funeral food is really delicious.
Hey, try some.
I can tell right away it came out of frozen ready meals.
If you have to cook yourself for the funeral,
your family will never be at peace. That's how it is these days.
I guess her family's motto is to take the easy way.
This is why her family was so happy.
Did you interrupt
that soul's journey to the afterlife just to see me?
I'm kind of regretting it.
It's too much of a hassle.
I should have gone to her right away.
To that woman, Song-hwa.
No, in this life, she's Lee Mi-ra.
While you were shriveled up and your time stopped,
she came back to this life as a human after living many lives.
You have met due to the connection in your previous life.
Just let her pass by.
How could I just let her pass by?
To you, she may be an object of an unresolved grudge.
To her,
you're a piece of her previous lives that she doesn't even remember.
You wanted me to let her pass by.
That's why you made me meet her through Chan-sung.
You cannot harm that girl.
Only if I let her pass by, I could leave this world peacefully.
Just like the warmhearted Mago wants.
To give you some relief,
I'll go back to the hotel without causing trouble and stay there.
Drop me off on your way.
Or you can take me to the Samdo River.
Will...
he come too?
For a flower to blossom, she needs to feel the wind
and face the rain too.
Do you know where Ms. Jang is?
She hasn't come back yet.
Did anything happen on your outing?
She got mad all of a sudden and disappeared.
Ms. Jang's sudden change of mood isn't special.
It happens all the time.
When she gets mad, she usually goes shopping or to a restaurant.
She's probably at a department store or at a famous restaurant now.
She probably can't do that because her credit card's maxed out.
Then, she must be livid.
I should stay away from her today.
When she gets livid, does she vanish into thin air
and not come back to the hotel?
That never happens.
Ms. Jang has to come back to the hotel.
No matter how far she runs away, the hotel will chase after her.
The hotel will chase after her?
Are there more secrets in this hotel I'm not aware of?
If Ms. Jang didn't tell you,
-you don't-- -I don't have to know?
I'm not here to stay just temporarily anymore.
If all the hotel staff knows what it is,
I must know too.
You said that she was tied down to this hotel for a punishment.
Does her punishment follow after her when she runs away from it?
That's right.
Ms. Jang can never leave this hotel.
She can't go to the afterlife.
And she can't live in this world either.
It looks like she tried several times to run away at first.
But it never worked.
Ms. Jang is the Moon Tree.
And the energy of the Moon Tree is creating this space.
Wherever she goes, the Moon Tree will put down roots there.
And there stands the Guest House of the Moon.
When she stays away from the hotel for more than a day,
the Moon Tree follows her to where she is.
That's why she must return.
It's impossible for her to escape from it.
That means
she's been locked up in this hotel.
But why was she tied down here?
I heard that she almost became an evil ghost,
but Mago brought her here and tied her down to this place.
You've seen what happened
to the vengeful ghost who harmed humans in this life.
To Ms. Jang, this may be her prison, but it's also a fence.
It's safe for her to stay here.
Here.
Thank you.
You were lucky. No one took your bag.
Thank you so much.
How did this end up on the bus?
Wait.
My photo is missing.
Amusement park.
It looks like Lee Mi-ra was happy.
Chan-sung?
Mr. Koo told me to prepare this for you.
He was quite worried when you didn't come back
after you disappeared without a word.
I met someone,
and I needed some time to think alone.
As he was worried,
I told him why you had no choice but to come back to the hotel.
You did?
Where's Chan-sung now?
Is she okay?
Your friend.
I made her fall into the water.
Did she drown?
She's fine.
Too bad.
Why aren't you asking me
why I made her fall into the water
and what I saw in her face?
You should ask me millions of questions, scold me, and stop me.
If I try to stop you, will that work?
I really don't know.
You call yourself a really bad person.
And seeing how you've been stuck here for 1,000 years,
I guess you did something very serious.
When I saw you in my dream,
you were just in love.
So what did you do earlier?
What?
Where did you go after ditching me?
There's nothing much for you to do with a maxed-out credit card.
I don't need you or my credit card to have fun, you know.
I attended a dance party
and ate nice food at a feast.
A dance party?
Yes, the dance moves were really mysterious.
And you went there alone?
You could've invited me. Unbelievable.
If you were there,
it would've been a sight.
Let's do nice things together.
It's better to see and eat good things together.
The view is much better now that I'm with you.
Whatever it is you're going to do,
just don't forget this.
I don't care if this is your prison or your fence.
I will...
stay here with you.
Doctor.
Sir, it's raining.
I'm always happy whenever it rains
because I'll be with you.
I'm not your doctor, miss.
Please stay with me until the song ends.
Honey?
Hey.
What's that?
You're the one who said she should stay with us.
Me? To whom?
Me.
What are you doing here?
I was scared to be alone.
You have no idea what happened to me.
-What happened? -I found the purse I had lost
on an express bus
when I never got on one.
Hold on. Does this mean that it got on the bus itself?
My gosh!
Stop it, both of you.
When I'm home, I'd like a rest from the supernatural.
But this can't be explained scientifically.
Someone must've taken your purse and left it on the bus.
Yes, that's possible. You're right.
Didn't you lose anything? Money or credit cards?
I never carried around any.
That being said, can I borrow some money?
Sanchez!
I'll let her stay here for now, just in case.
You're opening the hotel's amusement park again?
Yes, someone seems to have had some fond memories of an amusement park.
Whoever it is, the guest will have fun here.
So when will that guest arrive?
I'll invite her soon.
Escort her with care.
Yes, ma'am.
By the way, where did you send Mr. Kim and Ms. Choe?
To seek out some land.
It's eerie and full of negative energy.
There aren't any buildings in the way either.
I like this place.
There aren't any shopping malls or restaurants
within a 15-minute drive.
Ms. Jang won't like it.
Let's leave
and head over to the next candidate, a sauna building.
Why is she suddenly looking to buy land?
It seems she can barely pay off her credit card bills.
You're right. Unless she sells the land she has.
No way. Ms. Jang loves that land.
It's very close to a department store and naengmyeon restaurants.
But then again, Chan-sung is being too tight with money.
So it might be possible.
She chose that land after much consideration.
There's no way she'd sell it. Let's go.
Eunseong Sauna.
EUNSEONG SAUNA
You're very quick to master new features on devices.
You get the hang of it after clicking here and there.
I can't, since I'm from the Joseon Dynasty.
I am from that era, too.
You should correct how you speak first.
Until when will you use archaic phrases?
I'll try my best.
Wait for me.
Hold up.
Thank you for the tour!
Thanks, man.
We'll totally contact you after talking to our boss.
The hotel opened up an amusement park?
Yes, you should check it out.
It'll be fun to go there with my boyfriend.
Did you get a boyfriend?
Rumors about me having one are all over the school.
Is that so? Good for you.
You have a boyfriend now, so keep up with your studies
and go to classes on time. Okay?
Whatever!
You really liked to go to school. How could you become a total idiot?
What's wrong with telling you to study hard at school?
It would be nice to study hard
and become a cool doctor just like Mr. Koo's girlfriend.
Ms. Jang told me to keep an eye on her and find out what people think of her.
Can I eat a lot of onion?
-Sure. -Let's have it together.
-Okay. -Add a lot of onion please.
She likes onions.
Onion starts with an "o."
Stop showing off, rich boy.
ONION
Ms. Jang is kinder than I thought.
She is taking care of humans around Mr. Koo as well.
Do you really think she is being kind?
Can you be kind to my boyfriend?
Why? Is your boyfriend mean?
Right.
My boyfriend is so mean and a total idiot.
Is Dr. Han all right?
-He isn't. -I see.
He scares me to death every night.
He sang in his study last night.
What?
-You want to go in? -Yes.
I need to find something to report to Ms. Jang.
Listen to this.
Shall I pretend to be a cute next-door neighbor
who's come to borrow a screwdriver?
No, don't you have other ideas?
There's something strange in this house.
What is it?
That's not a human, right?
Mi-ra borrowed my Qing Dynasty ceramic.
Well, she already took it before I agreed to lend it, though.
Anyway, I let her borrow it.
She'll sell it and use all the money. You won't get it back.
I'll get it back for you.
It's okay. If she doesn't return it, I'll seize her salary.
You can't do it, but I can.
I should have seized her salary or something
for all the money she took from me.
You said you won't stay for long at that hotel, right?
Veronica's father recently
took over a hotel in Sydney.
Two of my father's restaurants will open there.
It's a five-star hotel.
Would you like to work there?
I don't plan to leave this hotel.
Is there a special reason why you have to stay at Man-wol's hotel?
You have a good career background, and you enjoy showing off.
But it's a nameless hotel without even a proper name card.
You are always working overtime there.
I find it very strange.
Sanchez, do you think I'd work at an average hotel?
My hotel has world-class facilities.
You can't even imagine
how special the guests are.
There is only one shortcoming.
And that is I can't boast about it.
I see.
I thought you were working for that crappy hotel
because you have feelings for Man-wol.
What?
I got you right on the spot.
You look like a pushover, but you are cold.
-You seem slow, but you are sharp. -Yes.
Right. It's just like how I look like a pizza place owner,
but I'm a millionaire, right?
Veronica is now fully in love with that side of me.
I'll get you more soda.
Okay.
LEE MI-RA
Did you sell Sanchez's ceramic?
Chan-sung.
Is there an available room in your hotel right now?
I can't take a photo of a ghost with my phone.
I can't take a picture of you either.
You can, if I let myself be seen like I did at your school.
Although I can't do it for long.
Do it now.
Come on, let yourself be seen.
There you are.
I'm taking the picture now.
What are you guys doing here?
Mr. Koo?
What are you doing here?
We followed your doctor girlfriend.
Mi-ra?
Why?
I told them to.
Did you come to attach a ghost to Mi-ra to torment her?
I thought you didn't care.
But you seem worried I might do something to her.
Are you here to stand guard over your girlfriend's house?
This is not her house. It's her friend's house.
Mi-ra is staying with me.
At Sanchez's?
So you're living together.
Are you going to keep following her? Do I have to keep guard?
I just wanted to know what a good life she has.
Where are you going?
You have to take the ghost.
I didn't put it there.
I didn't even know you were living with her.
If I had known, I would've released 108 ghosts.
Either way, it means there is a ghost in this house.
Let's take her to the hotel.
Ms. Jang.
You only call me that when you want something from me.
I heard from Mi-ra
that you keep hearing strange noises
and see strange things.
You want to stay at a hotel for a while, right?
I got this house from my parents. It's quite old,
so it's not properly soundproofed. Maybe that's the reason.
I told him everything.
You can't even sleep after you moved in.
We could have just gone to your hotel. You didn't have to come.
I came to see who the guest is.
We don't accept average guests.
Is that why your boss is with you?
Yes.
You can only come to our hotel when you have Ms. Jang's invitation.
You have many doctors in your family.
Your hotel must run on some sort of membership.
We just need an ordinary hotel.
Then you do that.
Excuse me.
Ms. Jang.
We have to take the guest to the hotel.
Forget it.
Why should I take care of this house's ghost?
It's the house of my friend's friend.
I don't like your friend, and I don't like you since you're her friend.
Is this the sound?
Do you hear it too?
We are not crazy, right?
We have a special service in our hotel.
You should get the service.
Her name is Gyeong-a and she is dressed in retro style.
She is waiting for a doctor.
Could she be looking for the dead father of this house?
Maybe.
If she sees you, she might run away.
I will go in first.
Aren't you scared?
No, I have you.
Gyeong-a?
Min?
Min.
I'm all right.
Min, you came back.
Min.
Who is Min?
I'm sorry I hurt you.
But my heart
already belongs to the doctor.
So, Min and the doctor are different people.
Are you sick?
Min, I don't have a lot of time.
I can't share that time with you.
But I'll let you give me a goodbye kiss.
Gyeong-a, is this your diary?
Suk-hui, stop it!
Don't touch my things!
I must be Suk-hui.
It's not my fault you couldn't win Min's heart.
Stop your mean jealousy.
What are all these postcards and letters?
Min, you ask her.
Gyeong-a, what are all these postcards?
I'm very weak, so I can't go outside.
And I don't have any friends.
So I sent my story to a radio station,
and all these people sent me postcards wishing me well.
"I hope you recover soon.
I also wish you good luck with your romance.
From Hui, an avid listener from Ssangmun-dong
who's also lovestruck just like you."
This is actually real.
Hyeok must be here.
There must be someone named Hyeok.
Judging from the look on her face, Hyeok must like her as well.
So that means Hyeok, Min, and the doctor all like Gyeong-a
except for Suk-hui.
I guess Suk-hui is the only villain here.
I'll keep pretending I'm Min.
And we should take her to the hotel.
Gyeong-a can't be a guest at our hotel...
because she isn't a soul of a human being.
She's not a ghost then?
Didn't you feel something weird when she hugged you earlier?
Come to think of it, I didn't feel cold at all.
I always felt a chill every time I touched a ghost at our hotel.
But that wasn't the case with Gyeong-a.
That's an imaginary soul that was created by a human.
"An imaginary soul"?
Yes, it's imaginary.
Gyeong-a was created in someone's imagination.
Someone created her?
She had an incurable illness,
was loved by Hyeok and Min,
and she even had a love affair with a doctor.
The diary is real, and someone did send a story to the radio station.
But the problem is that it wasn't Gyeong-a.
They were done by the human who created her.
Who could that be?
If we find that person, we can get rid of Gyeong-a.
Who is this delusional person that's so immersed in this sad love story?
What's wrong with you guys?
-Mother, they're here to help us. -Please leave.
-What's going on? -Mother, wait.
What are you doing in my study?
Everything here belongs to me.
I see.
May I ask your name, ma'am?
Lee Bok-hui.
You should wait downstairs.
Do you know a lady named Gyeong-a?
I'm Gyeong-a.
I married my husband
when I was 22 through an arranged marriage.
I never got to date anyone.
And that's when...
I created Gyeong-a.
I was so happy to be able to experience
a pure, affectionate, and passionate love as Gyeong-a,
just like my favorite movie character.
The strong imaginary soul you created still exists.
It's like an old movie.
I see.
You don't seem startled.
If you live for this long, you don't get startled that easily.
On top of that,
I was once so delusional that I created Gyeong-a.
Gyeong-a called me Min.
You look just like him.
She actually liked Min the most.
What about the doctor?
She must've been a huge flirt.
Do I need to get rid of Gyeong-a?
Your son and wife are suffering because of her.
I see.
I was able to forget about Gyeong-a thanks to my son.
She got married to a stranger whom she didn't love.
It must've been hard for her.
Whether it was imaginary or delusional,
I'm sure it still helped her cope with her situation.
Changing one's reality by creating an imaginary soul...
That's a good idea.
She asked us to join her for dinner. What should we do?
She said goodbye to Gyeong-a, so she must feel lonely.
So you stay as Min and console her over dinner.
Suk-hui is a villain, so I'm going to leave.
Okay, then.
It's burning beautifully.
You're right.
It's beautiful.
Ma'am, you don't need to prepare too many dishes.
Min, just wait here quietly.
Excuse me.
Did Mi-ra leave?
Yes, she probably went back to the hospital.
By the way, thank you for inviting us to the hotel.
Pardon?
Your boss gave us invitations to the hotel.
Invitations?
We'll make sure we visit. I can't wait.
By any chance, did she give an invitation to Mi-ra as well?
I didn't know there was a hotel here.
Chan-sung is working at an incredible hotel.
Welcome.
Ms. Jang is waiting for you.
Oh, thank you.
This way.
Please follow me.
Ms. Jang prepared something very special for you. Let me take you there.
This hotel is amazing.
Welcome.
Welcome to Hotel del Luna.
Thank you for inviting me.
The pleasure's mine.
I just couldn't...
let you pass by.
This place is really nice.
But why is this place empty?
It's not empty.
You just can't see anything
because of that.
This?
You can't see them because of that.
Earlier, you couldn't hear anything either.
Is this the sound?
We're not crazy, right?
If I take this off, will I be able to see some other things?
Why don't you let me hold onto it for you?
Do you like it?
Yes, I love amusement parks.
Is that so? I thought so too.
You seem happy in the photo.
You found this.
Thank you.
When I was young,
I went to the amusement park with my family and took this photo.
That's right.
You from that day are standing over there.
They're my parents and my sister.
I'm happy.
I really hate
that you are
happy.
That's why
I'm going to breathe sadness into that girl.
And I'll give her to you as a gift.
Hello.
You don't have a happy family.
Your mother said this to you all the time.
"You should have never been born. I regret giving birth to you."
Your dad got angry whenever he saw you.
"Nothing is working out all because of you, you witch."
After your annoying sister was born,
your parents loved only her.
Look at this. The day you came to the amusement park,
your family left you here and went home.
It was the saddest day of your life.
Mom. Dad. Don't abandon me.
All right. Go.
Go to her and fill every day of her life
with sad memories of a girl who should've never been born.
Thank you, Chan-sung.
Thanks to you, I got to meet her.
And thanks to you, I've found a great way.
So...
I was able to resolve my grudge a bit.
Don't do it.
I already did.
This is...
way stronger than the imaginary soul Bok-hui created.
Because I created it.
It's a curse.
-Stop it. -You can't stand it?
Then run away from me, Chan-sung.
I'll let you go.
I won't.
Protect me.
Chan-sung, let her go.
Whatever it is you're going to do,
just don't forget this.
I don't care if this is your prison or your fence.
I will...
stay here with you.
Aren't you scared?
No, I have you.
You woke up.
Who are you?
Ms. Jang asked me to take you home because you were too drunk.
I was drunk?
Yes. The hospital is in Myeongnyun-dong, right?
-Sir, let's get going. -Sure.
Everything will be okay now.
You ruined everything.
I really don't know.
When I saw you in my dream,
you were just in love.
This is the last time we'll look at this scenery together.
I'm leaving with my people.
Are you planning to join the rebellion?
They wish to set this country right.
It's much better than living as a thief here and getting caught
and killed eventually.
Come to the palace.
I can keep you safe.
Are you telling me to desert my people and go to you?
I can't.
Then shall I go to you?
If you beg me to come, I will risk my life and go with you.
Don't.
There is no way
we can be together.
Right.
I suppose I won't need to come here ever again.
You were a great drinking buddy,
so I will miss you.
Everyone's ready. When should we leave?
He was here.
He's probably there now.
Let me go see him for one last time.
Man-wol.
Will you come back?
Yes. Of course, I'll be back.
You don't need to come back.
I'll be fine either way,
so do as you wish.
No, I will come back.
Let me see him just once more.
Wait for me.
All of your people will die because of you.
Thanks to you, I made a great contribution.
You were the one who took me there
and bought me enough time. It's all thanks to you.
Hence, I will spare your life.
I will kill you.
I will kill you...
at all costs.
If you wish to kill me,
you will have to stay alive.
Yeon-u...
Yeon-u.
Yeon-u!
No, Yeon-u.
Let go of me!
Yeon-u.
Yeon-u!
Yeon-u.
Since you helped the general make a great contribution,
I will show mercy on you.
FULL MOON
I will kill you
at all costs.
Chan-sung.
Are you all right?
What happened?
Man-wol brought you home.
And you've been sleeping for several days.
"Several days"? What do you mean?
You've been sleeping for three days straight.
Why is that painting here?
Man-wol left it here.
That...
She said it was taking up space, so she left it here.
By the way, is she going somewhere?
Wherever she goes, the Moon Tree will put down roots there.
And there stands the Guest House of the Moon.
She's gone.
When you see me off, don't feel lonely.
Whether...
this place is a fence
or prison for me...
what I have is hell.
It's not that wonderful...
to be in hell together.
Goodbye.
Chan-sung.
