Memorable Quotes

너와 함께한 시간 모두 눈부셨다. 날이 좋아서, 날이 좋지 않아서, 날이 적당해서. 모든 날이 좋았다.

— Kim Shin

Context:

This line is famously recited by Kim Shin in Episode 12 before he asks Eun-tak to pull the sword from his chest, intending to sacrifice himself to defeat the villain Park Joong-heon. It serves as his heartfelt, poetic confession and farewell.

Meaning:

"Every moment I spent with you shined. Because the weather was good, because the weather was bad, and because the weather was just right. I loved every single day." This quote encapsulates the core of Kim Shin's love for Eun-tak. After centuries of monotonous existence, she brought meaning and brilliance to his life, regardless of external circumstances. It's a profound declaration that his happiness was entirely dependent on her presence.

메밀꽃의 꽃말이 뭔지 알아요? 연인.

— Kim Shin

Context:

This is said in Episode 2, during one of their early conversations in a buckwheat field that Kim Shin magically summons. It's a key moment that defines one of the central symbols of their romance.

Meaning:

"Do you know what the meaning of buckwheat flowers is? 'Lover'." This simple line establishes a crucial symbol for the couple's relationship. It transforms the buckwheat flower from just a plant into a secret language and a representation of their fated love.

인간의 희생은 신이 계산할 수 없는 영역이고, 내다볼 수조차 없겠지. 그건 그 순간의 본능이고, 오롯이 한 인간의 선택이니까.

— Grim Reaper

Context:

The Grim Reaper says this in the final episode (Episode 16) after Eun-tak chooses to sacrifice her life by driving her car into the path of a runaway truck to save a bus full of kindergarten children. Her death was not fated; it was her choice.

Meaning:

"Human sacrifice is a realm that God cannot calculate or even predict. It's an instinct that comes out in a moment, and a choice made solely by that human." This quote highlights a major theme of the series: the power of human will versus divine fate. It suggests that the capacity for self-sacrifice is a uniquely human trait that can alter destiny in ways even gods cannot foresee.

기억해. 기억해야 돼. 넌 도깨비 신부야.

— Ji Eun-tak

Context:

In Episode 14, after Kim Shin has turned to ash and been forgotten by everyone as a consequence of divine intervention, Eun-tak feels an inexplicable sorrow. She writes this note to herself in her journal, desperately trying to cling to a memory she can't place, before breaking down in tears. Her subconscious is fighting to remember him.

Meaning:

"Remember. You have to remember. You are the Goblin's Bride." This line signifies Eun-tak's fight against forced forgetfulness and her determination to hold onto her identity and her connection with Kim Shin. Memory is a battleground in the series, and this quote is her declaration of war.
