[bunniefuu]

[suspenseful music plays]

[chuckles]

[bell jingles]

[objects clatter]

[music fades]

[woman] 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…

[chuckles]

…there's a curse in your eye.

-What?
-A charm.

A splinter with an evil charm
is lodged in your eyeball.

[suspenseful music resumes]

Hold this tight to your eye.

-Okay.
-Open your mouth.

Only don't swallow it.

-Hold it in there.
-Mm.

[woman] Swish it around,
then spit it in here.

Spit it.

The bag.

Oh.

[mysterious music plays]

[woman] It feels better now, right?

[music fades]

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.

[cell phone buzzes]

You should go.
Don't wanna keep the runaway waiting.

[cell phone buzzes]

SI-WON

[woman exhales]

Thank you so much.

Remind her she needs to eat, okay?

[uneasy music plays]

Oh my God.

You really fell back asleep?

[girl groans]

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?

[gentle music plays]

Si-won, do you think
I could join the coding club with you?

[Si-won] Hm.

[Si-won sighs]

[uneasy music plays]

Hye-ryung! Slow down! [panting]

-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, sh*t. I hate you!

[Si-won groans]

[jaunty music plays]

Whoa! What the hell?

-What was that?
-[Hye-ryung] 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.

[Si-won chuckles] Mm.

What's he like?

He's okay. He can't code for sh*t, though.

[chuckles]

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?
-[Hye-ryung] 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.

[Si-won sighs]

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-a*s 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

[gentle music plays]

[music fades]

[Hee-jin ] 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.

[Hee-jin] Really?

What? Are you into art?

She's into shamanism.

Shamanism?

Can you tell me my fortune?

Or give me a tarot reading?

[boy] Hey! Hee-jin.

[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.

[poignant music plays]

See you in class.

We better hurry.

[music fades]

[teacher] 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.

-[jaunty tune plays over PA]
-[students groan]

[music stops]

Hey. I have to stay for coding.

-I can wait.
-[Hee-jin] Si-won.

Ready?

I'll see you tomorrow.

[poignant music plays]

[bottles clinking]

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.

[shaman chuckles]

I know you know what I was saying.

If you're not convinced,
come on up to the green gate.

[groans] If I wanna listen to a quack,
I'll get a duck.

That's funny.

[chuckles]

But your prices aren't.

[woman] Hm.

[uneasy music plays]

[bottles rattle]

[shaman] You think
you can hide from me like that?

-Nice to see you again. Good night.
-[shaman] You too.

-Good night.
-Where's Si-won?

-She had to go to coding club.
-That's a thing?

-Mm-hmm.
-[shaman] Have you eaten yet?

I'll feed you.

I can't.

[shaman] Why not?

I know my house's energy speaks to you.
You're curious to see what's there.

[chuckles awkwardly]

Have a good night.

[bottles clatter]

[shaman] Damn, I missed the step again.

Ouch.

Oh. Oh, crap. Ow!

[music fades]

[Dong-jae] Minister's Award, one team.
Governor's Award, one team.

Superintendent of Education's Award,
two teams.

sh*t. 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 m*rder*r.

[scoffs] 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 k*lled her husband.

And that student was Do Hye-ryung.

[tense music plays]

Is that true?

-I totally see it.
-[Gi-tae] 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.

[sighs]

It's an app contest, not a joke.

[Dong-jae] 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!"

-[Gi-tae] Gonna drink soju?
-[Dong-jae] Saju. The four pillars.

Using your birth date
to tell your fortune.

Should Hye-ryung give us a lesson?

[laughs]

If you guys keep acting like morons,
I'm gonna drop you.

[Hee-jin] Si-won, wait!

[door opens, slams]

f*ck me. That b*tch is scary.

[tense music continues]

[shaman grunts]

[shaman groans]

[shaman] 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.

[uneasy music plays]

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.

-[Hye-ryung] Huh?
-[shaman] 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. [chuckles]

Why can't it?

That's what allows you to put the curse.
Fresh, hot blood.

[music fades]

[uneasy music resumes]

[shaman] 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.

[Hye-ryung] Why would I want to do that?

[shaman] Do you want to be my daughter?

-[gasps]
-[shaman] My spirit daughter?

[bottles clatter]

[shaman] 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 b*tch!
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 f*cking dead to me.

[gate clangs]

[breathes heavily]

[melancholy music plays]

I would never… hurt you.

[door opens]

I can explain.

[uneasy music plays]

[Si-won] 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.

[music fades]

I think it's a good wish.

You have something you wish for?

What?

I'm asking you what you would wish for.

Oh.

[uneasy music plays]

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.

[music stops]

[chuckles]

[chuckles]

[chuckles]

So, your secret desire
is to go out on a date?

He is cute.

Do it.

Do what?

[beep]

{\an8}I wish that, uh…

{\an8}MARCH 12, 2005
DO HYE-RYUNG

{\an8}…Gi-tae would ask me out.

[intriguing music plays]

No.

I wish that Gi-tae
would kind of fall for me.

[Si-won] No! You sound
like you're ordering take out.

[Si-won sighs]

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?

[beep]

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!

[music fades]

[Si-won] Sometimes,

you scare the sh*t out of me.

[gentle music plays]

[Hye-ryung] 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!

-[Hye-ryung] Delete that stupid thing.
-[Si-won laughs]

-[Hye-ryung] Please, delete it.
-No way. Now sleep! It's late. Sleep.

Sweet dreams.

-[Hye-ryung] Delete it.
-[Si-won] Night.

[Hye-ryung] 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.

[Si-won chuckles]

[music stops]

[teacher] 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.

[teacher] If you have a dependent clause
followed by an independent clause,

you also use a comma.

For example, "Since it was cold out."

[lively music plays]

I'll have to double-check.

[magical tinkling]

I think I manifested something
with the video.

Gi-tae made eye contact
twice with me today.

-Of course. You did what I said.
-[Hye-ryung] Mm.

-You put your whole heart into it.
-[chuckles]

You really like him that much?

-I don't know. [chuckles]
-Oh.

-[chuckles]
-[bottles clatter]

[woman] I'm cutting you off!

-[shaman] I need them. I can pay.
-Crazy b*tch.

-[women arguing]
-[woman] Don't come back!

-I gotta go.
-[shaman] Why are you doing this?

[woman] I told you why.
Quit making a scene.

-Get out and stay out!
-[shaman] I have money! I can pay!

[indistinct arguing continues]

[shaman] Stop calling me a drunk!

SI-WON, DON'T STRESS TOO MUCH…
YOUR MOM…

[uneasy music plays]

I'M AT THE HIDEOUT. WHEN ARE YOU COMING?

[cell phone buzzes]

[clanging]

[Si-won sighs]

Hey, runaway. Have you eaten?

So rude.

Show some respect.
I brought you into this world.

Si-won!

Bye.

sh*t.

[breathes heavily]

I MIGHT JUST SLEEP AT HOME TONIGHT!
SEE YOU TOMORROW!

[music fades]

[cell phone chimes]

I MIGHT JUST SLEEP AT HOME TONIGHT!
SEE YOU TOMORROW!

[uneasy music plays]

[door opens, closes]

What did she do?

[breathes shakily] So much blood.

SEORIN

[groans]

[exhales]

[moans]

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.

Don't go!

I need you… [groans]

…to protect my daughter with this.

[breathes shakily]

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.

[wheezes] She's in grave danger.

If you don't do this,
she'll die. [wheezes]

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?!
-[gasps]

Huh?

[gasps, coughs]

You need to go to a doctor.

[shaman coughs]

[wheezes]

You remember
how I fixed your cursed splinter?

[wheezes] I'll heal myself
now that that's done.

You go save Si-won.

Get out of here!

[shaman groans]

[shaman chokes]

Go to school!

And hide the amulet.
My daughter will die without it!

[breathes shakily]

[Hye-ryung breathes shakily]

Si-won.

-I went to your house before.
-What?

And then what?

Uh…

Your…

I'm sorry.

-What's with her?
-Mm-mm.

[teacher] 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… [wheezes]
…takes after her father.

She'll want nothing
to do with this protection.

[shaman breathes shakily]

She's in grave danger.

If you don't do this, she'll die.
[breathes shakily]

I couldn't save my husband,

but I… I can't lose her
to what she's unleashed.

[shaman moans]

[teacher] 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

[indistinct chatter]

-[Si-won] Can't this wait?
-If I don't do it now, I'll forget.

[Si-won] Whatever.

Yo!

[uneasy music plays]

What are you doing?

Y… your mom wants me to--

[breathes shakily]

[Si-won breathes shakily]

[breathes shakily]

[breathes deeply]

[cracking]

[Hee-jin] It was freaking brutal.
Just smack, across her face.

-She ripped the paper to shreds.
-[Gi-tae] Why would she need an amulet?

[Dong-jae] Yeah, she could k*ll 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?

-[Hee-jin] Maybe.
-[sighs]

[Hee-jin] 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?

[Dong-jae] Stop being so dramatic
and just tell us!

[Hee-jin] 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--"

[Dong-jae] You came?

[Si-won] Come check this out.

The app's good to go.

-We're done?
-[Dong-jae] 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, as*h*le.
-[chuckles]

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.

-[bells jingle]
-[birds caw]

[shaman breathes shakily]

[breathes shakily]

[indistinct chatter]

Hey,

ever heard of Girigo?

[girl 1] What?

[uneasy music plays]

Girigo's a cool new app
that grants wishes.

[girl 1] Giri what?

[Hye-ryung] I wish for

Han Gi-tae to fall for me!

[girl 2] What is this?

[boy 1 chuckles]

[Hye-ryung] Please
make him fall in love with me!

[laughter]

[girl 3] Oh my God!

My name is Do Hye-ryung, and I want Gi-tae
to fall madly in love with me!

[girl 3] Let's get the screen in there!

[boy 2 laughs] Might as well
jump off a bridge now!

[laughter]

-[girl 3] What a dweeb! [laughs]
-You know this is for real.

[cell phones chime]

[boy 2] My phone's blowing up.

[girl 4] Now the whole school
knows she likes him.

[boy 2] 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.

[boy 1] Gi-tae, you're so hot!

[Hye-ryung] I want Gi-tae
to fall madly in love with me!

[boy 1] Please fall in love
with my sorry a*s!

-[laughter]
-Hey.

Shamanism? [scoffs]

I don't know what's worse.

That she's your mother,
or that you're into that crazy sh*t too.

[boy 2] The quack?

[girl 3] She looks
like she's gonna cry. [laughs]

What's the matter, huh?
Someone put a curse on you, huh?

So you can't say
any more stupid sh*t? Huh?

-You can't film this.
-It's too good not to.

[Gi-tae] Hey! Why would I ever
want to go out with a loser like you?

-[girl 4] Oh!
-[boy 3] Oh!

You embarrassed me.
And you need to f*cking apologize.

[Hye-ryung gasps]

[somber music plays]

[breathes shakily]

Whoa, b*tch.

You're dead!

[whimpers]

HAN GI-TAE

[Hye-ryung cries]

[Gi-tae] Satisfied?

[uneasy music plays]

[Hye-ryung whimpers]

HAN GI-TAE

You need something related to the person
you'd like to grab by the scruff.

[echoing] 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…

[grunts]

[shaman] …and make sure to spray all over
so that the silk thread turns red.

Ha!

[uneasy music plays]

-[Hye-ryung] Spray?
-[shaman] Blood.

Fresh, hot blood.
That's what allows you to put the curse.

[scraping]

MARCH 12, 2005
DO HYE-RYUNG

[camera beeps]

It's important to have
a connection to this energy.

It's not something just anyone can do.

It requires a gift?

[chuckles] 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. [chuckles]

I'll make the wish
just the way you wanted.

My wish is…

[chuckles softly]
