It's prickly and irritated, right?
Your bag looks heavy. Why don't you take it off for now?
This won't take long. This one's an easy fix.
It's fine. It's just a scratch.
No, it isn't.
I didn't want to bother you, ma'am. I thought Si-won was here.
I can see…
…there's a curse in your eye.
-What? -A charm.
A splinter with an evil charm is lodged in your eyeball.
Hold this tight to your eye.
-Okay. -Open your mouth.
Only don't swallow it.
-Hold it in there. -Mm.
Swish it around, then spit it in here.
Spit it.
The bag.
Oh.
It feels better now, right?
What? Who needs a doctor?
You can't compare what I just did to a doctor.
This has nothing to do with those idiots.
Doctors are idiots?
Anyone who can read a book can become a doctor, Hye-ryung.
You just have to put in the hours.
What you do, and what I do, is a unique talent.
An innate gift.
You're just born with it.
You should go. Don't wanna keep the runaway waiting.
SI-WON
Thank you so much.
Remind her she needs to eat, okay?
Oh my God.
You really fell back asleep?
Aren't you cold?
You should sleep at your mom's when it's cold. It's snowing outside.
I'd rather freeze then smell like incense. Isn't it kinda late for snow?
Si-won, do you think I could join the coding club with you?
Hm.
Hye-ryung! Slow down!
-Hold up! -I'm not waiting. I'll miss the bus again.
We'll catch the next one.
Come on, I didn't have breakfast. Ah, shit. I hate you!
Whoa! What the hell?
-What was that? -We can be late.
-You should eat something. -I'm good.
It's right there. We can make it.
Han Gi-tae?
Huh?
Oh!
Are you crushing on Gi-tae?
No.
-Does he know? -No, he doesn't.
Don't tell anyone.
Mm.
What's he like?
He's okay. He can't code for shit, though.
Oh yeah.
You got it bad, girl.
I'll keep your secret. Don't worry.
You really mean it?
-You're keeping mine, aren't you? -Hm.
-Can you make room, please? -Get in here. The kids'll scoot.
-I like this spot. -This one's got the heating.
You take this spot. The next bus could take a while.
A bit more.
All right. I think we're good now.
-Thank you, girls. -Mm-hmm.
-I have to miss mahjong tonight. -That's too bad.
Hey. Why do you smell like the incense my mother uses at home?
-Did you stop by her house earlier? -Yeah.
I was worried.
You sorta ghosted me and ignored my texts, so I hoped the cold made you go there.
I didn't go to see her, but she did fix my eye infection.
She only makes you think she can do stuff.
You gotta stay away from that quack. I already told you.
Right.
It does totally feel better than before though.
It stopped being red and prickly after I saw your mom.
You're supremely annoying. You know that?
You're supremely annoying when you ghost your best friend.
Hey. I never go there.
I don't need an escort to school. And if I ever drop you, you'll know.
Okay, I'll stop. I won't go to your mom's anymore, or believe any of her stories.
Hmm? I won't.
I wouldn't mind so much if she was a real shaman, not the crazy-ass village boozer.
I shouldn't have gone. I'm sorry.
Okay?
OUR FACULTY AND STAFF SUPPORT THE NEW BEGINNINGS OF ALL NEW STUDENTS
SEORIN MIDDLE & HIGH SCHOOL
Hey, Si-won!
I can't wait! I'm dying to know what kind of app you came up with for the contest.
It needs to be original.
-I'll tell you guys about it later. -Nice.
Why haven't you joined the coding crew? This genius must've taught you something.
We were just talking about that.
But she's not so techy.
Really?
What? Are you into art?
She's into shamanism.
Shamanism?
Can you tell me my fortune?
Or give me a tarot reading?
Hey! Hee-jin.
What's wrong? You're actually here on time!
The principal threatened me with a month's detention if I show up late.
I didn't even have breakfast yet. We're going to the snack bar. You coming?
Si-won! We're getting snacks.
See you in class.
We better hurry.
You need to create phrases to help you remember the formulas.
Like E equals MC squared.
Egor makes cookies two at a time.
Stuff like that. Whatever works for you.
Hey. I have to stay for coding.
-I can wait. -Si-won.
Ready?
I'll see you tomorrow.
Isn't there a saying that you should never drink alone? Huh?
I'm never drinking alone.
You know I'll have to report you if you say it's for your daughter.
I know you know what I was saying.
If you're not convinced, come on up to the green gate.
If I wanna listen to a quack, I'll get a duck.
That's funny.
But your prices aren't.
Hm.
You think you can hide from me like that?
-Nice to see you again. Good night. -You too.
-Good night. -Where's Si-won?
-She had to go to coding club. -That's a thing?
-Mm-hmm. -Have you eaten yet?
I'll feed you.
I can't.
Why not?
I know my house's energy speaks to you. You're curious to see what's there.
Have a good night.
Damn, I missed the step again.
Ouch.
Oh. Oh, crap. Ow!
Minister's Award, one team. Governor's Award, one team.
Superintendent of Education's Award, two teams.
Shit. Any one of these would boost our applications.
You gonna get us an award?
If you come up with a good idea, sure.
-Oh! -What she said.
I volunteer for snack duty. Girl's gonna be pulling all-nighters.
I'll pitch in on the UI.
Then, I'm gonna
grant you a wish of your choice.
What the hell would she be wanting from you?
But Hye-ryung'd take you up on it.
Don't you notice her stealing glances on the sly?
-Nope, but girl's got good taste. -Dude.
Girl's scary.
She'll bewitch you.
-No. -Her mom's a shaman.
And not just any shaman. A whack job shaman murderer.
Always with your crazy legends.
I know this one's true!
Listen. My cousin went to Baekun Middle School,
and he told me once that one of the student's moms killed her husband.
And that student was Do Hye-ryung.
Is that true?
-I totally see it. -Seriously?
I asked if she could read my fortune when you mentioned shamanism.
Can we just focus on the project?
Shamanism.
It's got a nice ring to it.
It's an app contest, not a joke.
But Gi-tae's joke is a really good idea.
What?
What you said before, about granting her favors.
And Hee-jin mentioned fortune-telling, which is linked to saju.
What if we threw it all together and made it so our app magically grants wishes?
Hey! Why are you so frigging hyper?
Hey, yourself! I'm thinking this could work. A "wishamism!"
-Gonna drink soju? -Saju. The four pillars.
Using your birth date to tell your fortune.
Should Hye-ryung give us a lesson?
If you guys keep acting like morons, I'm gonna drop you.
Si-won, wait!
Fuck me. That bitch is scary.
I told you.
You have a connection to the energy here,
and you couldn't stay away.
Should I just leave this here for you?
It doesn't go there.
It goes in the room up above.
You've been dying to know what's in there, haven't you?
It's been calling to you since you came for your eye.
You have permission.
Hye-ryung.
Come on! The point wasn't for you to just stand there.
It's strangely soothing, isn't it?
They're so cute.
Choose anything in the room.
It will be my present to you.
Were you
drawn to that doll?
-What kind of doll is this? -Deolmi.
From
a word that means "scruff."
It lets you drag people around however you want,
if you ask it to.
I can show you how.
-Huh? -I'll teach you.
In case you ever need a good curse.
Here.
Uh, you need something related to the person
you'd like to grab by the scruff.
I like to use things like fingernails, toenails, or hair.
You tie it to the doll with a silk thread.
And finally, you carve the eyes, nose, and mouth on the face.
You write their saju here, and make sure to spray all over…
Ha! …so that the silk thread turns red.
-Spray? -Blood.
That can't be right.
Why can't it?
That's what allows you to put the curse. Fresh, hot blood.
I told you this before.
You're special.
If you do what I showed you
and prepare the deolmi,
you can shake whoever you want as you please.
Why would I want to do that?
Do you want to be my daughter?
My spirit daughter?
If you're home, you should greet me properly.
Stop sneaking around my house like a thief.
I'd rather be a thief than a drunk who drove my dad to suicide.
Si-won!
I can explain. I only came here because--
You lying bitch! Save it for someone who cares.
You pretended to be my friend. All you wanted was ammunition.
I wasn't pretending, Si-won.
You're fucking dead to me.
I would never… hurt you.
I can explain.
Have you ever heard that if you write your saju and make a wish,
it'll come true?
The smell of incense makes me want to puke.
I wanna scream when I remember the looks I got
from the lowlifes who knew I was the shaman's kid.
The crazy lady who drove my dad to his death.
And I wanna disappear when I hear my drunken mom spout her spirit nonsense.
FEBRUARY 1, 2005 KWON SI-WON
I wish she'd die already.
I think it's a good wish.
You have something you wish for?
What?
I'm asking you what you would wish for.
Oh.
I wish for your forgiveness.
Not that stuff.
It has to be something you've wished for for a really long time.
That you've never told anyone.
Your deepest, most heartfelt desire.
I want…
Gi-tae to like me.
So, your secret desire is to go out on a date?
He is cute.
Do it.
Do what?
I wish that, uh…
MARCH 12, 2005 DO HYE-RYUNG
…Gi-tae would ask me out.
No.
I wish that Gi-tae would kind of fall for me.
No! You sound like you're ordering take out.
It has to come from the heart and sound sincere.
Like how I confessed what my biggest wish is before.
And sound like you mean it.
None of this "Uh… uh… kinda" crap.
-You need passion. -I… I can't.
"I can't" is not allowed.
Can't somebody else help you? I'm not even in coding club.
The line is, "fall in love with me," not just "for me."
Watch me.
I wish for Gi-tae to fall in love with me!
That was loud!
Mm. This is so frigging embarrassing.
-You gotta put yourself out there. -Like you know all about that?
I wish for
Han Gi-tae to fall for me.
Please, make him fall in love with me!
My name is Do Hye-ryung, and I want Gi-tae to fall madly in love with me!
Sometimes,
you scare the shit out of me.
Why?
You know all my deepest secrets.
I'll keep all your secrets safe, Si-won.
You know the main reason people hate my mother?
'Cause it's impossible to hide things from her.
That's her biggest gift.
Everyone has something they wanna keep hidden.
For me, it's my mother.
You know I mean it.
I won't tell anyone.
If you think it's better,
I'll stay away from you at school.
Forget that.
I can just blackmail you with this video.
-Give me that! -It's so good!
-Give that, you weasel! -Too late. It's done!
Delete that stupid thing.
-Please, delete it. -No way. Now sleep! It's late. Sleep.
Sweet dreams.
-Delete it. -Night.
I'm not going to sleep until you delete that video!
Your wish app is really cool. I think you'll win.
-You do? -Mm.
It's simple but exciting.
I've been having butterflies in my stomach ever since I made the wish video with you.
Even if it doesn't come true,
I'm really glad we did it together, and shared our secrets.
-It stays between the two of us though. -Mm-hmm. Of course.
And, but, or, nor, for, so, yet. These are the coordinate conjunctions.
GIRIGO MAKE A WISH
When you have two independent clauses, each clause has a subject and a verb
linked by a coordinate conjunction.
You put a comma before it.
For example, the teacher…
DO HYE-RYUNG HOW'S THIS FOR THE GIRIGO ICON?
"The teacher graded" has a subject and a verb. "Everyone got" does also.
Kwon Si-won?
No phones in class.
Sorry, ma'am.
If you have a dependent clause followed by an independent clause,
you also use a comma.
For example, "Since it was cold out."
I'll have to double-check.
I think I manifested something with the video.
Gi-tae made eye contact twice with me today.
-Of course. You did what I said. -Mm.
You put your whole heart into it.
You really like him that much?
-I don't know. -Oh.
I'm cutting you off!
-I need them. I can pay. -Crazy bitch.
Don't come back!
-I gotta go. -Why are you doing this?
I told you why. Quit making a scene.
-Get out and stay out! -I have money! I can pay!
Stop calling me a drunk!
SI-WON, DON'T STRESS TOO MUCH… YOUR MOM…
I'M AT THE HIDEOUT. WHEN ARE YOU COMING?
Hey, runaway. Have you eaten?
So rude.
Show some respect. I brought you into this world.
Si-won!
Bye.
Shit.
I MIGHT JUST SLEEP AT HOME TONIGHT! SEE YOU TOMORROW!
What did she do?
So much blood.
Hair.
Si-won's hair.
SEORIN
My daughter, Si-won.
Please, my daughter.
Heavenly spirit, forgive my daughter.
She didn't know what she was doing.
I pray to the Bulsa Jeseok for mercy.
If someone must pay for her mistake, please punish me.
Please, punish me instead of my daughter. Si-won didn't mean it.
I beg your mercy, your forgiveness. Spare my child.
GIRIGO MAKE A WISH
The person you are trying to reach is unav--
Hye-ryung!
Don't go!
I need you…
…to protect my daughter with this.
Put this amulet…
Put it inside her school bag.
But she can't know it's in there.
That girl takes after her father. She'll want nothing to do with this protection.
She's in grave danger.
If you don't do this, she'll die.
I couldn't save my h… husband,
but I… I can't lose her to what she's unleashed.
You hear me?
Why don't you say something?!
Huh?
You need to go to a doctor.
You remember how I fixed your cursed splinter?
I'll heal myself now that that's done.
You go save Si-won.
Get out of here!
Go to school!
And hide the amulet. My daughter will die without it!
Si-won.
-I went to your house before. -What?
And then what?
Uh…
Your…
I'm sorry.
-What's with her? -Mm-mm.
The Road Away by Kim So-wol.
Yesterday, again, at an inn
I spent a sleepless night With the cawing crows
Today, how many more "ri" on my journey I don't know whither?
That girl… …takes after her father.
She'll want nothing to do with this protection.
She's in grave danger.
If you don't do this, she'll die.
I couldn't save my husband,
but I… I can't lose her to what she's unleashed.
Look at the geese in midair
Are they flying so well Because there's a path?
Look at the geese in midair I'm standing right at a crossroads
-Can't this wait? -If I don't do it now, I'll forget.
Whatever.
Yo!
What are you doing?
Y… your mom wants me to--
It was freaking brutal. Just smack, across her face.
-She ripped the paper to shreds. -Why would she need an amulet?
Yeah, she could kill someone with one look.
Have you noticed she changes the subject whenever we talk about shamanism?
Is it because she's actually related to the quack?
Maybe.
After she got caught, Hye-ryung said something.
It might not mean anything.
-It was so tense. I was freaking out. -Ah.
What did she say?
Stop being so dramatic and just tell us!
This morning, Hye-ryung was acting weird with Si-won.
Kind of cagey, you know?
She's gonna pay for this.
The amulet, she said, "It's your mom who wants--"
You came?
Come check this out.
The app's good to go.
-We're done? -It's ready?
How'd you get it done so fast?
Don't you think it looks
too serious?
I love it.
Like your opinion counts, asshole.
You can all shut your mouths.
I coded it.
I made it.
While you were
busy spreading rumors.
But you did help with the design.
I heard what you said before I came in. And how I'm related to that shaman.
But shamanism was your idea.
Gi-tae, you didn't do much, but you did promise
you'd grant me a wish.
Hey,
ever heard of Girigo?
What?
Girigo's a cool new app that grants wishes.
Giri what?
I wish for
Han Gi-tae to fall for me!
What is this?
Please make him fall in love with me!
Oh my God!
My name is Do Hye-ryung, and I want Gi-tae to fall madly in love with me!
Let's get the screen in there!
Might as well jump off a bridge now!
-What a dweeb! -You know this is for real.
My phone's blowing up.
Now the whole school knows she likes him.
Maybe just ask the guy out for coffee?
My name is Do Hye-ryung, and I want Gi-tae to fall madly in love with me!
Please make him fall in love with me.
Gi-tae, you're so hot!
I want Gi-tae to fall madly in love with me!
Please fall in love with my sorry ass!
Hey.
Shamanism?
I don't know what's worse.
That she's your mother, or that you're into that crazy shit too.
The quack?
She looks like she's gonna cry.
What's the matter, huh? Someone put a curse on you, huh?
So you can't say any more stupid shit? Huh?
-You can't film this. -It's too good not to.
Hey! Why would I ever want to go out with a loser like you?
-Oh! -Oh!
You embarrassed me. And you need to fucking apologize.
Whoa, bitch.
You're dead!
HAN GI-TAE
Satisfied?
HAN GI-TAE
You need something related to the person you'd like to grab by the scruff.
I like to use things like fingernails, toenails or hair.
You tie it to the doll with a silk thread.
And finally, you carve the eyes, nose, and mouth on the face.
You write their saju here…
…and make sure to spray all over so that the silk thread turns red.
Ha!
-Spray? -Blood.
Fresh, hot blood. That's what allows you to put the curse.
MARCH 12, 2005 DO HYE-RYUNG
It's important to have a connection to this energy.
It's not something just anyone can do.
It requires a gift?
Yes. But in this case, what really matters is the intention
in your heart.
And the heart must be guided by the mind,
which is both the root and master.
And the master will require payment equivalent to the control desired.
An arm is at least the blood of one chicken.
And it goes up if you want more control.
If you want to control both arms,
you need to offer something bigger, like a pig.
The rules are simple.
You write down your saju and make a wish…
and it comes true.
You have no idea.
I'll make the wish just the way you wanted.
My wish is…
…for all of you to die.
That's my true wish.
Si-won!
Did you see it?
You need to wipe that shit out.
This is your fault. Delete it before it goes viral!
Of course I saw it. I'm on it, asshole! I'm already at school!
DELETE FOLDER
MULTIMEDIA ROOM CLOUD SERVER
Oh my God.
You're wondering what the bitch is up to?
The rules are simple.
I'll make the wish just the way you wanted.
My wish is…
for all of you to die.
Crazy bitch!
It was our secret.
I truly want every single one of you dead.
That's my true wish.
How could you do this?
You'll be sorry, Do Hye-ryung!
SENDING WISH…
YOUR WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED
