What were all the flights of fancy that I saw in my dreams?
If what I saw were to be my reincarnated future self, would the mermaid also be reincarnated?
Look, Dam Ryong, I'm of the Realist School of Confucianism.
Would nothing else appear to you?
There are many more invisible things in life than both humans and what is visible.
What the wide sea is holding in the invisible area,
how can we even conceive of it?
Episode 2
What are the wish lanterns for?
I'd like to pray for my father's safe return from fishing.
Those are all superstitions, huh?
Instead of praying for such, wouldn't it be better if you studied to predict the weather, huh?
All those useless things...
Give me any extra wish lantern.
I'm the head of this village, give me just one!
I also have something to pray for.
Could I use either a moored net or a large fishing net, whatever is available,
to possibly catch the mermaid again?
I must catch it again.
I will die from my own repressed anger.
I heard that the mermaids tend to be much smarter than humans.
They must be smart enough not to get caught by a moored net or a large fishing net.
And, the sea is the mermaids' territory.
Curses come home to roost.
Then, what are you suggesting?
Are you telling me to wait until by a fortunate chance, a storm pushes a mermaid to the shore?
Don't you agree I can't wait for a mermaid to be unable to move
because her tail is caught between rocks like the one that was set free?
I should be so lucky again.
There must be a way.
Wow, it's going really fast!
WOW! Look at it!
WOW! Cool.
Oh, no! What's wrong with that one?
I knew that would happen.
Who are you?
Don't be afraid and come on out.
It was a fated bond that should not have been made, but since it was already made
that fated bond would definitely continue.
They will meet again.
So you're saying...
that fated bond will definitely continue.
I may be able to catch her again.
You told me not to be afraid,
yet aren't you the one being afraid?
Can you speak?
There's no reason that a mermaid can't do what a human can.
Then why did you not say a word that day?
I did
but it wasn't heard.
Today is a happy occasion celebrating the newly appointed town head.
I thought to prepare for all of you.
I thought to prepare for all of you a rare spectacle.
Please save me.
Mermaids can hear each others' inner thoughts so there's no reason to speak.
Then can humans not hear the minds of mermaids?
A long time ago, a boy loved a mermaid. Therefore, he was able to hear a mermaid's voice,
and he heard the mermaid's voice.
So what happened to the boy who loved the mermaid?
Can we meet again?
If a wish lantern floats above the surface of the sea,
I will take it as a signal that we're to meet again.
Are you watching him closely?
There's nothing's special, right?
- No. Nothing yet, but... - But?
The town head is asking something strange of his soldiers.
What?
♬ Far above the sea which has neither a yesterday nor a today ♬
♬ The blue night falls soundlessly. ♬
♬ My heart which was wandering and crossing over the waves ♬
♬ waits for you to come back to the sea ♬
♬ The path which was described in a starlit story ♬
♬ Becomes a time which spreads like a dream ♬
♬ In my heart which can't be reached ♬
♬ Wave upon blue wave which surge, ♬
♬ Your tears that I watched for and ♬
Your shallow breath which is fading away are blurring like a stain ♬
♬ That sad story hidden in the sea ♬
The Legend of the Blue Sea
Do you know what I hate the most?
Leaving without saying goodbye.
That's why I came, to say goodbye before leaving.
There's no other reason.
Anyway, I've done what I've come to do, so I'm leaving.
Drink it.
Just a minute.
That's right. Like that.
Stop blowing now and drink it!
Do you really have nowhere to go?
Whether a house, or dorm,
or a contact person, or the cell phone number of someone you know?
A guardian, family or a friend or something like that...
Who am I talking to right now?
I should have just left.
I think that I've been caught right well and good.
I made reservations for one, and you know I had to pay extra for you.
This is an awfully expensive place!
Where could you find someone like me?
Truly, there are so many bad people in the world,
you must be lucky that you've met me.
I'll go and wash up so go change into this for now, at least.
What the?
Seriously, Hey! Turn on the light!
Give it to me.
Give it to me I said.
Are you, by any chance, being coy?
Don't! Don't do that! Don't be coy!
My ideal type is an intellectual woman.
The complete opposite of you!
Don't look at me lubriciously like that.
Just in case you misunderstand, I am telling you clearly.
The reason I brought you here is because the day is almost over,
it's raining, and your screw is a bit loose,
so, "I'll let her stay just for one night." That was all!
So, "Oh, my! Is this man interested in me?"
"Should I use the opportunity to hook up with him somehow?"
Let go of this kind of futile expectation or hope.
Wake up from your dream, I tell you! Hmm?
She is... horny!
...cannot be connected. After the beep-
Who?
The guy that you went to KAIST with?
Is that guy ignoring your calls again?
I'm going to be working overnight in the lab since some important artifacts came in.
Again? Oh...
How nice would it have been if you had just gone to med school and become a doctor like your mom had suggested?
That c-c-conser... whatever that you're saying you—
Conservation science, Unni. If you say that medical science is extending the life of humanity as it's goal,
then conservation science is important work that extends the life of humanity's cultural heritage.
Sure. Hurry and go extend the lives of those
ceramic pots, ink stones, and those kids.
But did Ji Hyeon's aunt graduate from KAIST?
That's why she acts so high and mighty like that all the time.
Why?
My son went there too.
The one you brag about all the time, the one you say is so handsome?
Yes. When my son was young, his eyes were so pretty.
When I took him out, it was hard to walk ten consecutive steps with him,
because people asked so much if they could hold him and touch him.
That son was even good at studying?
It's a difficult age for a dragon to be born from a small stream.
It's not a small stream.
What?
It's a very wide and blue sea.
What are you saying? Do you have some great background that I don't know about?
What is it? As if. What would she have? Seriously.
That ajumma knows how to subtly put on airs.
Yeah.
Unni Jin Ok can't come today? Why?
She was scammed?
You want me to h-hold it?
The rumors have already spread all over this place that I was scammed by con artists.
I'm so embarrassed that I can't even face anyone.
Jang Jin Ok, the name that used to have influence everywhere I went, has become one that I can't use anywhere now!
Then, simply change your name. It only takes a week.
Do you really want to die!
No. I have to be cool-headed about this. I have to be cool-headed.
Here, take this.
Okay. Then what should we do now?
Catch him.
That's right. No amount of money is too large.
Catch them!
After screwing up my good son's life,
making me this embarrassed, and making my husband go through a tax audit...
I mean... Can he persecute us like this just because we have money?
Of course not.
Make sure to catch them,
especially the punk who pretended to be a prosecutor. Make sure to catch him.
Even if you have to kill him, catch him.
Ah! You scared me.
Hey! You scared me!
Hey, hey. Why are you acting like this?
- You came recently. - Yes.
You were born in 1980, year of the tiger, right? Your parents didn't register your birth early or late, right?
Do you look at any half good-looking man with that kind of nauseating gaze?
Are you a crazed fan of pretty-faced men?
Fine. Watch, watch. Watch as much as you want.
Do you want to hear the good news or the bad news first?
I'm going to sleep.
The good news is...
I'll hear the good news first.
What are you doing?
Did you stay up all night like that?
How old are you that you've fallen for a celebrity?
Are you a crazy fan girl? Stop watching and give it here.
Hello. Hyung Nam Doo.
Yeah, big problem. We missed one thing.
We didn't realize that Myeong Dong Capital was a scary place.
As expected, the private loan businesses (loan-sharking) have an organized framework.
- What are you talking about? Apparently, she sent some people!
Usually they don't send people on overseas business trips in this type of peak season.
The plane tickets are twice as expensive. They must have been really mad.
- Hyung, were you caught? - No, you!
They say you were caught!
Did you perhaps just take the phone you used before?
Why did you do that, so unlike yourself, in this global satellite age?
You must have been GPS tracked.
Then... What are you saying? Are they en route right now?
- Hang up now then. - Wait, wait! - What?
Hey, the bracelet. Send it to me first by air?
You trust me, right? You trust me.
Hey! We now have to goodbye to each other.
You, think hard where your house is.
If you still don't know, ask the police for a help.
I have urgent business!
I'm screwed. Screwed, screwed.
Ah! It's far!
Calm. Calm down, Joon Jae.
Hey, hurry up and find him!
Get down! Get down!
Find him!
Hey! Get on, quick! Sit! Sit!
Are you okay? You didn't get hurt, did you?
Ah, I was concerned they might keep chasing us,
the kids couldn't keep up with my speed.
But what you need to understand is that it's all thanks to me that we were able to get out of it.
No way other guys would have made it.
Well.
Stay here for a moment, okay?
Hey! Come over here!
Come here, quickly!
- Come! - Come and get me!
Yeah!
You will drop your gun.
Do you have a death wish?
I knew Boss was a boss for a reason. You've got strong mentality.
Shut up. What do you want to do?
If I shoot you here, the European cops will come and things will get complicated.
I hate making things complicated. I like to keep things simple.
Get in the car, then. Let's take the simple route.
Yes, sir!
I'm sorry, you must have been startled. Oh my. Let's go.
Oh, oh, no! Let's go, please.
Oh? What's that, Boss?
Isn't she the girl who was flying around and kicking our butts earlier?
Is that really a bicycle?
- Speed up, you idiot! - Yes, Boss.
- Hey, we are slower than a bicycle! Hit the gas! - Yes, Boss.
- Run her over! - Yah!
Move, move!
Aren't you following? Hurry and go get them!
Stop, right there!
Stop, There!
Listen to me carefully.
If we turn the corner and there is a guy, I will take care of him.
No matter what, you turn back and run, okay?
I can normally do this anyway, and today I feel especially grea...
Where did she go...
Hey! Hey!
Did they get her?
Hey, ding-dong! I told you to follow me. Where did you run off to?
If you get in trouble one more time, I'm abandoning you.
What?
Hey, where are you going?
How did you find the exit? Good job, ding-dong.
♬ Your eyes more than any words. ♬
♬ are meaningful, I can feel it. ♬
♬ While you smiled brightly in last night's dream ♬
♬ You were whistling like the wind. ♬
Let's go!
♬ Come a bit closer to me♬
♬ so that I can feel you better ♬
♬ Even the time spent waiting is meaningful♬
♬ From the moment I hear you coming to me ♬
♬ Come a step closer♬
♬ So that I can even feel your breath ♬
♬ My heart is tilted toward you ♬
♬ Little by little, little by little, little by little ♬
♬ In the night I was alone ♬ Five euros.
♬ Into my lonely heart. ♬
♬ You suddenly came one day ♬ You have to pay!
It's only five euros! Five euros is...
How can he treat her like that over such a little thing?
Hey! Hey! How much is it?
Five Euros.
Do you have in a small size?
I'm sorry, I am sorry.
Let's go.
Go. Go. What patience...
Yeah, it's me, Joon Jae.
I heard about you recently. That you're working in Sitges.
I'm around there.
I can't use my cell phone or credit cards, and I don't have any cash.
Really? Thanks. Where do I have to go?
Where?
Preacher Heo No Ah?
Hallelujah!
WOW!
How long has it been...
I know. I guess we haven't seen each other since the mission in Libya, so two years?
Pastor, this is Evangelist Heo No Ah who's like my brother.
Now he's carrying out ministries of saving baby elephants and making water wells in Kenya, Africa.
You have such a challenging ministry!
Since God has given me the job, I'm serving with a thankful heart.
She is my wife but,
she got in an accident few years back, and she's not quite mentally alright.
Lord! Oh, No!
Father!
She must've been shocked pretty badly. She's got aphasia and can't really talk...
When will I be able to hear my wife's voice?
Hello. Nice to meet you.
The weather is quite hot.
Hey, what happened?
Why are you talking suddenly? Did you get the gift of tongues?
You said you wanted to hear my voice.
That's true. That's true, but...
But, what's a wife?
You said that I'm your wife?
- It's nothing. It means friend. Friend.
What is this? You were able to talk all this time, but you didn't?
You're outrageous!
It was pretty hard until yesterday, but I mastered it with the box you gave me.
Our language, in other words, our language of the nation...
The box I gave you?
The laptop? You learned from that?
Are you a Netizen?
What are you looking at?
Your eyeballs!
My eyeballs?
The ink in your eyeballs... They're sparkling.
Mine have always been sparkling like that.
They're pretty.
Right? They're pretty, right?My eyes have always been pretty.
My mom said it was hard to walk more than ten steps consecutively when she took me out.
Because people always asked if they could touch me and hold me.
But it's not "eyeballs," it's "eyes."
It's not "ink", but "pupil."
When did you learn all that gangster language?
Are you a sponge?
Your absorbing power is amazing.
Hey, bro!
Hey Bro!
Uh, yes, Kim Bong Deuk!
You call me Thomas.
Sure. Thomas.
You are working in case you will go to hell?
Bingo!
It's a non-stop system of swindle and solve right away!
But then who is this terribly beautiful sister?
I hope, truly, really she isn't your wife.
Hey! Turn off your interest.
Wait.
You are my type.
I'd like to greet you in the European style...
What did you just do with that trap?
What? Trap?
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.
Hey, how can you say trap?
Hole ?
Hole? The sister must have been playing in past.
Uh, shit!
Does she beat people up too?
That's why I told you to pay her no mind.
She isn't a woman for you to play with.
You prepared what I asked for, right?
Of course. We're members of the CMC. Con-artists from Mensa Club.
We're buddies!
Thank you.
No, I'm not doing this for free.
What do you want me to do for you?
I already made all the arrangements.
We will do a final simulation.
Sister Shin, testimony please.
This is all a blessing from God.
Five minutes before the stock market closed, he made me meet Trader David McDouglas
and enabled me to tithe 10,000 euros this month.
Then people will be stirred up wondering "who is this Trader David McDouglas?"
"I want to get to meet him too."
Then David walks out to say one thing.
In a very humble manner,
I am no hero.
In a very humble manner, "I am no hero, but an instrument."
I only heard the voice of God.
Even if it fails, or flops we have ways to get out of this.
At this time, our group of responders go " Hallelujah!"
Hallelujah!
Will it work? It will!
This is a special place.
So, what are you telling me to do?
You just simply sing a special song.
Something that would numb the rationality and touch the emotion.
♫ Love is always patient and
♫ Love is always kind and
♫Love doesn't envy and
♫ doesn't brag, is not arrogant
♫ among faith, hope and love
♫ The greatest of these is love.
The rooms are small. I don't know if they'll be big enough for you two to stay in.
It will be fine.
I'm thirsty and want some water.
Ah, the water fountain is there, there!
Uh, there, there!
I am so thankful that you wife started reconnecting with the world she was cut off from.
I know. Please pray for my wife's fragile body and heart—
I'd like to ask you to pray...
I was going to ask for prayerbut she seems to be stronger already.
Amen.
Aren't you full?
I didn't think you'd actually finish the whole jug, seriously.
- But, what is love? - Huh?
You sang earlier that the greatest of all is love. What is love?
Love is... actually something quite dangerous.
It's better for someone like you to not do.
Why?
Let's say that you love someone.
That means you surrender.
What's surrender?
To lose. You lost. In other words, if you love someone,
then you believe whatever he tells you.
That means you're in big trouble.
Why?
That means that you belong to that man.
If that man tells you to do this, you do this. If he tells you to do that, you do that. If he deceives you, you get deceived. That's what love is.
So should you say something like that to someone or not?
I'll do it.
Don't do it. You shouldn't.
Why?
Listen carefully. There are two things you shouldn't say.
I love you. I'm hungry.
But you get hungry too often.
Don't do it. Don't say those words. Do you get it? Right.
I love you.
I don't you not to say those words.
If you say those words to me, you're mine.
If you say those things, I can use you to do things,
lie to you like crazy, and take all your belongings.
I could be like that. Would you be okay with that or not?
I'd be okay.
Are you an idiot? Of course it's not okay, you fool!
I just told you the two things you shouldn't say!
I love you or I'm hungry.
I'm hungry.
Do you want ramen?
Hey, put it in here and hold here. Like this.
No.
This here, this here.
Like this. Do it like this.
You're doing it again.
Are you going to be shy like this again?
There you go.
Eat slowly. It's hot.
I think you have amnesia.
That's why you don't remember things.
Look at my eyes.
I don't mean to stare at me like that.
Anyway, take a deep breath and think about your parents when I count to three. Got it?
One, two, three.
What are parents?
Are you stupid? You don't even know what parents mean? Your mom, father, who gave birth to you.
I don't have those.
Well, I guess not everybody has them.
Do you have parents?
I have a father but he is the same as nonexistent.
A mom...
I wish I had one.
That's why I'm going.
Where?
To the end of the world.
There is a place like that. But then, what's your name anyway?
- I don't have a name. - Right.
It's not even surprising anymore. You have so many weird things.
If I were not weird and had a name, if I were that person,
I could be with you all the time, right?
No... That's not what I mean.
There are so many weirdos in this world.
Honestly, you are not even close to being one.
- Really? - Of course!
I'm the one who's really weird.
You are a good person.
What do you know about what kind of person I am?
My hand...
You could've left me but you held it. Several times.
You are a good person.
I've taken and run away many times,
but this is the first time I'm giving back something I've taken.
Fine. Let's go together. Together.
To the end of the world.
Hercules.
- Thank you. - No, thank YOU. Thanks to you we got some big offerings yesterday.
And there are a lot of people signing up to support our trader, David McDouglas.
Okay. Good luck. Bye.
Be aware of him.
You're so my style. If you get a chance, we should meet in Seoul sometime...
Where is Seoul?
Where is Seoul...
What a coincidence that you and I have the same sense of humor. I...
I will give you my number. It's really valuable since I rarely give out my private number.
We're running late. We're going.
That's too bad.
Oh, Evangelist Thomas! Thank you so much.
I haven't done anything.
Don't pretend you don't know. Evangelist Heo already passed everything on.
What?
You said to use this to help out the students in need with their tuition.
And you gave all that as offering.
You said to use this to help out the students in need with their tuition.
The kids have to get an education.
He did say to not let the left hand know what the right hand is doing, but still
how can you do such a good deed so secretly?
You are a real minister.
No, I'm not.
By the way, was David Mcdouglas
- really a conman? - Excuse me?
I've heard that you found that out. Even I believed him.
That bastard! Did Missionary Heo say that?
Sorry?
Don't worry. I already called
all the members who wanted to invest.
Thanks to you we saved ourselves from big trouble.
Hallelujah!
Wow, this really is Hallelujah.
But, are you crying?
I'm not.
I think you are.
I'm so happy. So happy.
- Umm, Pastor. - Yes.
- So I really can't kill an enemy? - What?
Won't it be okay to kill just an enemy?
Wow, our Thomas sure knows a lot of cuss words, huh?
How did you feel? Did you like it?
See you in Seoul. I'll treat you to a meal.
Why does everybody say to meet in Seoul? Where is Seoul?
You really don't know Seoul? You've never been there once?
Are you going to Seoul soon?
Yeah. That's where I live.
This is the end of the world?
Yes. People here called it that since the lighthouse was built 2000 years ago.
There is the ocean.
Why is it the end when there is an ocean? The ocean starts from here.
Joon Jae, a long time ago, people believed that this was the end of the world.
That lighthouse is the Tower of Hercules that lights the end of the world.
Hercules' mom came here everyday longing for her estranged son.
People felt sorry for her so they built that lighthouse
so Hercules could follow the light from that lighthouse
to find his mom through the ocean.
So? Did Hercules come and find his mom?
I'm not sure.
But there is a legend.
It says people who separate here will surely meet again.
Could it be because although this is the end of the world,
this is also where another world begins?
But Mom, I think Hercules probably missed his mom a lot too.
Heo Joon Jae, that's my name.
There aren't many people who know my real name. You should be honored.
So if you separate from here, you can really meet again?
I think it's a lie. I separated from my mom here.
But... I still haven't met her yet.
Mom! Mom!
Mom...
My mom... left without even saying goodbye... without any manners.
There's 'Heo Joon Jae' here, too.
I love you, Heo Joon Jae (written in Korean along with inscriptions in Greek and Roman alphabet)
I love you, Heo Joon Jae.
That's right. So there is 'Heo Joon Jae' here, too.
Mom... did say goodbye to me?
What did Mom say?
- That she loves me. - She loves you?
That she lost?
Did she surrender?
Yeah. She said she totally lost! She surrendered.
Hercules!
Let's run!
Aish! Catch him!
Why are they holding those huge guns? So dangerous!
Why are they over reacting?
What are guns?
You die with one shot of that. You just die.
That thing that kills sharks and dolphins?
What? Yeah, at times.
But they won't shoot for real.
They're just trying to scare us.
Whoa!
Are they nuts?
They are totally out of their minds!
Ah, Jeez!
Hey, you can see this, right?
I can't just let you leave today!
Okay. Even if you are going to shoot, let's talk after letting her go.
She is a girl and has no connection with this at all.
Hey! No connection? If she is not connected, why did she follow you so persistently yesterday?
Well, that's because I stole something from her...
This, this! A bracelet!
This is a cheap thing, but I stole it, and that's why she kept following me.
Hey, Go over there!
I gave it back to you! I said to go!
Why? I am your wife.
Heol!
This jerk!
How dare you try to con us?
No, the "wife" that she is talking about doesn't mean that.
Ah, I am celibate!
I don't even know this girl's name. Seriously!
Shut up! Just say one more word. I'm going to just shoot!
Yes, sir.
Why are you saying useless things? You should have left when I told you to go.
What are you going to do now?
Hey, why are you looking down there?
I have a fear of heights and water. It's better to just be shot at lightly—
Being shot won't do. You will die like a dolphin.
Of course. But I will die when I drown, too.
Let me try to persuade them, so you go first. Go first—
Ahhh, okay, okay, okay. Wait! Wait! Wait!
What's wrong with you? Seriously?!
Shouldn't we catch them?
Look for them!

I could be with you all the time, right?

Everything that got excavated from the ocean is so amazing, right?
Right. I hope to discover the wood panel quickly.
The owner has a special eye for it.
Totally my style.
What is this?
What is it?
This painting.
