1
(This drama is a work of fiction
created based on historical facts.)
(Most of the details and depictions
of the characters are fictional.)
Jong Jong, let us do this.
Yes, my lady.
(Episode 2)
Here we go.
So
even the woman who is supposed
to have 99 tails
would not be that special.
Is he coming? Is he on the way?
He is coming.
Remember what I said?
It would be dangerous.
You can do it, Jong Jong. You can.
I am counting on you, Jong Jong.
(My Dearest)
Have you heard of the sound
- of the marvel of Peru blooming?
- What are you doing?
What are you doing then?
I was helping you.
Who? Me?
When did I ask you to help me?
What?
Was there anyone
who was supposed to receive you?
Of course, I
You are a lucky man.
What? I am a lucky man?
I am the lucky one? Not you?
You got to talk to me for a long time
on the first day we met.
You sure are lucky.
Anyway, I do not know
where you rolled in from,
but you can hurry up and get lost.
You have used up all your luck.
Should you not at least thank me for
I am talking here.
You call that fixed?
I am hugely disappointed, young master.
I said it is not fixed properly yet.
I will get it fixed again.
It would not happen again.
Darn it.
You should have done a better job.
Do it right, will you?
- Dae Ho.
- Gosh.
She is one loud flower, is she not?
Give it to me.
Flower?
Who is the flower?
Who is the marvel of Peru?
Gosh.
My lady.
They must be talking about
something boring again.
Let us get back.
I do not like the socks after all.
What?
There she goes.
- I should go and talk to her.
- Wait.
Why does she
look so down?
She was grouchy just a moment ago.
Right. She looks like
she wants to get slapped
in the face and cry.
- What?
- Or maybe it is the opposite.
Maybe she wants to slap someone
in the face and make that person cry.
What are you saying?
Do you hear yourself?
Look.
It is me.
Why is he so worked up?
Look.
About that lady who lives here.
There are too many ladies in Neunggun-ri.
There is the lady who acts all conceited
thinking that she is pretty.
Right. You mean Lady Gil Chae.
That is her.
Wait. Her name is
- Gil Chae?
- Yes.
Yoo Gil Chae.
Lord Yoo Kyo Yeon's daughter.
She has broken many hearts.
Oh, I see.
I suppose you are one of them.
"Oh, I see?"
Hey, you.
"I see?" What do you see?
He has fallen head over heels
for Lady Gil Chae.
Clearly,
even Young Master Jang Hyun
could not help but fall for her charms.
Why are you laughing?
Why do you keep giggling like that?
What do you mean
I could not help but fall for her?
He took care of what he had to do
and returned home.
"Oh, my."
"Let me undress you."
Goodness. That old man.
He has to make me cringe every day,
does he not?
- Mind your own business.
- What?
- The two of them
- Hey.
Stop sewing and go find out
what is going on with my application.
They do not want you.
Must you be so stubborn?
You handed in a blank exam paper.
Have you no shame?
You said you were embarrassed of me
for not attending school!
Also,
did you not hear what that fox said?
Gil Chae or whatever her name is.
She said I rolled in out of nowhere
and told me to hurry up and get lost.
Then I shall settle down in this village.
You will triple the value of
dried persimmons and pay us with rice
in return for accepting him
into our school?
Yes.
Such insolence!
The harvest barn may be empty,
but did you truly think
we would take a bribe and accept him?
Well I apologize.
You have too much rice
and do not know what to do with it?
It is not like
you can throw away the rice.
I suppose
we should just accept it.
You made a wise decision.
I must ask you.
Why are you so adamant
about joining our school?
If you wish to pass the state exam,
there are more reputable schools.
I have no interest
in taking the state exam.
However,
I have a favor to ask of you.
What?
Another one?
What did I say?
I told you that
he must have an ulterior motive.
You must know Grandpa Song Chu.
This December marks
his 60th wedding anniversary.
I wish to organize a party to celebrate
his 60th wedding anniversary.
(Hoehonrye:
A 60th wedding anniversary party)
All his life, he farmed
on plots of land owned by the school,
so would it be okay
if the party took place here?
Oh. Of course,
I understand that only noble families
host 60th wedding anniversary parties,
so Grandpa Song Chu
should not be allowed to do it, but
Grandpa Song Chu has been married
for 60 years already?
I heard his wife was older than him.
Grandma Yi Rang is older than him?
She looks young.
Did you hear the rumors?
Every night, they still
Stop! That is utter nonsense.
Is that true?
Anyway,
why would you organize the party for him?
Since he works for us,
we should be the ones organizing it.
It is true that only noble families can
host wedding anniversary parties, but
They say
courtesy comes from affection.
"Courtesy comes from affection?"
Do you not think that this village
is filled with the scent of bamboo?
My goodness!
Were you
waiting for me?
What?
No. I was at the school,
taking care of something
Do not give me that.
How did you know
that I would pass by here?
Look.
What is the matter with you?
I
was not waiting for you.
I was simply going my way.
I was just walking this path,
looking ahead
Of course, you were.
That is what every man says.
Goodness.
You are using an obvious pickup line
that On Dal the Idiot probably used
a thousand years ago.
In any case
Please excuse me. I have to go.
"On Dal the Idiot?"
"Pickup line?"
Gosh, I am at a loss for words.
I have been at a loss for words all day!
My lady.
I am sorry to say this,
but women cannot enter
the school premises
Do not be so square.
I can never win with you.
Do not do that.
What you did just now.
If you have feelings for me,
do not push them aside.
You smiled at me earlier in the day.
I know very well
what that smile meant.
Yes.
I could not help but smile
at the sight of you.
Who would not smile?
Young Master.
You can have
any man you want.
However,
I am the only one Lady Eun Ae has.
Geun Sam said this to me in the past.
"You can live without me,"
"but Yak Soon cannot live without me."
Then he dumped me and went to Yak Soon.
You know, when men say things like that,
they actually feel
I had become too complacent.
I know nothing about Young Master Yeon Jun
who lived in Hanyang for years.
Think about it.
The scholars at Sungkyunkwan will go on
to closely assist His Majesty
once they pass the exam,
so matchmakers
must be eyeing them like hawks.
I need help.
From someone who is worldly-wise
and well-versed in the sophisticated
tastes of the people in Hanyang.
My gosh!
That is absurd!
No way. That cannot happen.
What is the matter?
Even if he is worldly-wise
and extremely knowledgeable
and knows a lot about Hanyang,
I cannot accept help from a fool
who does not wish to get married.
Look. I swear, I was not waiting for you,
so do not get the wrong idea
No.
This is Grandpa Song Chu's house.
Were you waiting for me here?
If you wish to spend more time with me,
I shall grant you a chance.
Help me, will you?
Do I have to? Why would I help you?
Because
I know you are dying to attend the school,
and my father teaches there.
The thing is,
I have already been accepted.
I heard you bribed them.
I already know all about it.
If you help me this time,
I will help you too.
Come here.
Please come closer.
I will tell you the topic
of the upcoming exam.
Will you truly
tell me the next exam topic?
Yes, you have my word.
I heard you handed in an empty exam paper.
That is why people call you
a fake aristocrat.
But what help do you want to receive
from me in return?
Though I was born
and raised in Neunggun-ri,
this village does not suit me.
I should live in a place
that is more glamorous and great.
Such as
Hanyang?
So I am curious about life in Hanyang.
I want to know
what Hanyang people talk about,
what kind of clothes they wear,
and what they like.
Also, what kind of people
they find attractive
and want to date.
But why do you want
to receive help from me
when you think I'm a womanizer?
I had poor judgment.
I thought you were approaching me
with indecent desires, so I was vigilant.
But I heard you were
a misogamist or whatever.
- Yes.
- Then everything is okay.
Then there is nothing between us.
There is no way we will ever get married,
so we are not a man and a woman.
I mean, I am a woman,
but you do not see me as one.
And you are a man,
but I do not see you as one.
We are just
a stone
or weed to each other.
That is why we can help each other
without hesitation.
You will help me, right?
- Take care.
- Thank you.
- Welcome.
- Have a look.
Have a look.
- Please, try one.
- We have what you will like.
Welcome.
These days,
it is the trend to wear socks
that are smaller than your feet.
I see.
Right. Also,
the daughters
of the ministers in Hanyang
This type of color is
I knew it. I was thinking
it would look good on me.
They hate this color.
They use this type of rouge.
Right.
These are the storybooks most liked
by the Hanyang people.
They contain the ambitions and hopes
of the people of Hanyang.
- Take a look.
- Okay.
"The Story of Woon Yeong?"
It is a written account
of what a scholar heard
after meeting a woman
named Woon Yeong in his dream.
His dream?
To be honest,
I also dream a vivid dream sometimes.
Sometimes, the dream feels real.
The man
What are you doing right now?
What is wrong with you?
Get changed.
We will be going to a place where women
of a high class are not allowed.
Let me see. Will this
fit on you? Here.
Are you telling me
to wear a man's clothes?
Do you not want to live in Hanyang?
There.
No.
I said lift it up and then wrap it around.
Like this?
The other way.
- Like this?
- No.
Jeez. Come on.
How frustrating.
Sit over here.
Are you still not done?
I am done.
If I were born a man,
I would have been quite handsome.
That is right.
Ryang Eum, when are you coming out?
- Hurry up.
- Look.
- Hey, look.
- It is Ryang Eum.
- It is Ryang Eum.
- It is Ryang Eum.
- It is Ryang Eum!
- It is Ryang Eum!
- Ryang Eum.
- Ryang Eum.
Who is Ryang Eum?
Consider yourself lucky.
You will be hearing the voice
of the best singer in Joseon.
You can only hear
a voice like his in Hanyang.
Ryang Eum will be making
a special appearance today.
But
you just attend flower festivals
in Neunggun-ri.
I am not sure
if you will have a discerning ear.
I am looking from afar
At your endearing face
The face that I missed
Was carried
By the distant wind
You are like me
Burying your face in your hands
The moment
I was waiting for
Walk on that path
Even when you waver
In the moonlight
Are you crying?
I keep
Thinking of you
But you turn away
My lingering feelings
Will be dropped
One drop at a time
With the passing of time
This heart that loves you
I will only keep it
In my heart
How beautiful.
He is indeed the best singer.
I love it.
I truly love it.
I have never heard of something
this beautiful in my life.
He is indeed the best singer.
Let us get going.
Ryang Eum!
What is that dream about?
What?
You said you sometimes have
the most vivid dream.
Well, that is
It is nothing.
What?
I guess the rumor is true.
You are here alone with me.
And yet you are
neither flushing nor stammering.
The rumor goes that
you do not believe in marriage
because you are
unable to function as a man.
What?
Is it wrong?
There is no way.
What is so funny?
It is nothing.
Let us go back now.
My lady.
The men you have dated so far
must be the timid and naive scholars
who spent their whole lives
studying at school.
So one glance from you
must have made them over the moon.
But my lady,
I am not them.
Well.
You will find out soon enough.
What is wrong?
Do I suddenly look like a man,
not just some weed or rock?
Here. Take this.
Your clothes.
When should I return them to you?
Tomorrow, I leave on a journey
to trade persimmons for rice.
It will take a few months.
Then I will see you off tomorrow.
I have to return the clothes anyway.
That sounds good.
What am I thinking?
(Moonlight on pear blossoms,
my beloved in my heart)
"My beloved in my heart?"
What is that, My lady?
A lady must have given it to him.
Why would he carelessly place
an item like this?
What am I expecting from a man like that?
My Lady.
Yeon Jun is in the reception room.
My lady cannot come.
The young masters have come.
Let us go.
I will submit the appeal as it is.
I will read it.
Look how dashing Yeon Jun is.
What am I thinking when I have him?
At a time when the foreign intruder is
proclaiming himself as the emperor,
if we, the nation of propriety,
do not take action,
we will be no different from those beasts,
and we will end up
losing the trust of our people.
So we implore His Majesty
to prepare a plan to fight.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, in all eight provinces,
there have been numerous petitions
requesting to confront
and fight against the foreign invaders.
What is the purpose of sending an envoy
to investigate their intentions?
If we do not send envoys now,
they will use it as an excuse
to bring their troops and attack.
All right, then.
We should send a letter,
reprimanding them
for failing to fulfill the promise
they made in the Year of Jeongmyo.
Once we lose the trust of the people,
it is hard to gain it back.
Do you not know that that is a far graver
problem than the foreign intruders?
Your Majesty.
Sending a letter to Great Jin
to urge them to keep
the promise of the Year of Jeongmyo
will ruin everything.
I am aware. Of course, I know that.
However,
I started the coup to punish Gwanghae
for being friendly with those outlanders.
So if I try to curry favor
with Great Jin now,
how will the young officers
and scholars react?
You do not have to listen to everything
that the young officers are saying.
Perhaps,
a war with them is unavoidable.
I still vividly remember the pain
of having to flee to Ganghwa Island
ten years ago.
(Pacheon: When a king evacuates
the palace and flees during a war)
They want to conquer Anju no matter what.
(Anju: A military strongpoint
in Pyongan Province)
Collect the supplies in the storage
and distribute them
among the soldiers.
Then send the rest to the fortress
north of the Chongchon River
so that we can be prepared
for their attack.
We have been preparing for another
invasion since the Year of Jeongmyo,
so we must count on them.
Even if all fails,
we still have Ganghwa Island.
(Simyang Palace, Qing)
Your Majesty.
The King of Joseon is hiring
military officials to prepare for war.
He ordered to tighten security
at each fortress
and to send cannons and food
to Ganghwa Island.
They always have nothing to count on
but Ganghwa Island.
However, Your Majesty.
Joseon may be a small country,
but when it was Goguryeo,
its army managed
to fight off Sui's one million soldiers
and eventually won
the seven-year war with Japan.
And that is why we could not go in deep
in the Year of Jeongmyo.
I am aware.
Joseon may be small
but should not be underestimated.
Hence, we must find
a different way this time.
I
can wait.
I waited until my father finally
looked at me and not my seven brothers.
Then after I took the throne,
I waited for my brothers to accept
and acknowledge me as their king.
Now,
I can and shall wait
until Joseon's rivers freeze.
My patience
has never once betrayed me.
Do you know how to revive
someone who is starving to death?
Feeding them grains first
will shock the stomach.
Then they will vomit and actually die.
Hence, you must give them
a bowl of poop water first.
Aged poop water.
(Uiju)
When they no longer look so pale,
that is when you give them rice porridge.
That is how you revive them.
That scumbag!
He came back to life thanks to my poop.
So how dare he
report me to steal my business?
So? Are you asking me
to spank Kkeut Soe's butt or something?
That will not do.
I will kill him.
- No.
- No?
Why not? Why can I not do it?
Have I been paying bribes
to get treated like this?
Kkeut Soe pays bribes too.
He pays more than you do.
Do you have proof that Kkeut Soe
was the one who reported you?
Tsueda said
You fool.
You believe Tsueda?
Do you look down on me?
Do you think
I am still a mere wandering Jurchen?
Ningguchin.
Do not forget.
You are
only allowed to play
in a small puddle of poop that I give you.
You scumbag!
Please leave.
So? Whose side will he take,
between Ningguchin and Kkeut Soe?
I do not know.
I will take 100 geun of this.
I will pay you with ten boxes of
top-quality persimmons from Neunggun-ri.
Ten boxes of persimmons
for a hundred geun of tobacco?
My goodness.
That cannot be done. Not even you.
Instead,
I will sell the piles
of old tobacco in that room for you.
I heard when you crossed the river
to sell tobacco,
they took everything
and did not even pay you.
Will you truly sell them for me?
What do you plan to do
with all the tobacco?
I will exchange them with the rice
I sent to Neunggun-ri.
We have a problem! It is an emergency.
Jang Hyun.
Tsueda has been stabbed.
- My goodness.
- Gosh, what do we do?
- Oh, dear.
- What happened?
- Goodness.
- Who did this?
- Oh, boy.
- Is he dead or not?
He is dead.
- My goodness.
- I have no idea what happened.
What on earth happened?
- No idea.
- My goodness.
Gosh, who are they?
Move!
Boss wants to get to the bottom of this,
so watch what you say today.
- Move!
- Make way!
It is nice to see Joseon fools,
Jurchen fools,
and even fools from Tsushima Island
in one place after a long time.
So Tsueda is dead.
For people like us,
even if we die a sudden death,
we should be grateful if it was painless.
But in Uiju,
there should not be a single
stabbing incident I do not know about.
A few days ago, Tsueda sent me a letter,
saying he urgently needed to speak to me.
But
he died on his way to meet me.
Someone
killed him to silence him.
I bet it was done by those
who are after my business.
You think someone is after your business?
How petty.
You siphon off rice collected as tax.
You call that a business?
(Segokmi: Rice collected as tax)
To siphon off the rice,
you have to bribe
so many government officials
from bottom to top.
We work very hard to bribe them
and keep them on our side.
All you do is use them.
But you want us out
because it is your business?
I knew it!
That is why you reported me!
And you killed Tsueda to silence him!
Do you have evidence?
If one of you
killed Tsueda,
I will finish you off with my own hands.
We should take care of it
before Kkeut Soe beats us to it.
Darn it.
You scumbag.
Darn you.
Do you think you can get away with this?
You little rat!
You know many Joseon swear words.
Let me ask you something.
Do you think the foreign intruders
will invade Joseon?
What?
Why are you asking me this?
- Why would you ask me
- What do you think?
I am asking you
because you are one of them.
You see, those intruders from Qing
used to consider Joseon
as their elder brother.
But now that they think
they have become powerful,
they are vying for a chance
to invade their elder brother.
What do you think?
It is just like what you are doing.
What?
You said you would attack Kkeut Soe,
but in reality,
you joined hands with him
and tried to kill Yang Chun.
Did you think I would not know that?
But
after Tsueda,
your middleman, died,
your friendship went down the drain.
- That is what I am saying.
- No.
I
said no.
It was Kkeut Soe's
idea. Yes.
Do not trust him.
I said no.
It was all his doing!
You punk!
Shut your mouth!
Shut it, you punk!
You look like a webfoot octopus!
I hated you from the start.
You little scum!
You do not deserve to live, you
Right.
Your henchmen will be here.
What?
Spare me, please.
Please.
Do not worry. I called your henchmen too.
They said they would kill Ningguchin.
Since you two are enemies now,
fight with all your might.
Hey, Gu Jam, they are coming.
Where are you?
(Usimjeong)
Did you not get hurt?
You went through a lot.
No, he did not.
He just moved his mouth.
He did not do anything
Where is Yang Chun?
You are here.
Please spare me, Yang Chun.
Please spare me!
Do you know
how to dance?
Sorry?
"Dance?"
Do you want to be my son?
What do you think
of being a father and son to each other
and living here together
like a family until we die?
You must be getting senile.
Do you not want to?
I do not.
Why not?
Fine.
I will make sure you never leave Uiju!
Look at how ill-tempered he is. Gosh.
Hey.
Do not stop.
Keep dancing.
Have you awoken?
Then
What are you doing?
Who are you?
My name is Young Rang
because I am bright and starry
like the early morning dew.
Stay still. I know my stuff.
Stop.
Do you want me to strip you?
Do not. Stop.
Go away.
Get away from me.
Hey
Right.
What did you say
your name was again?
Young Rang.
Okay. I get that your name is Young Rang.
But why were you trying
to take your clothes off here?
What do you mean? I am here to serve you.
"Serve?"
Do you know
how much everyone fought
because they wanted to serve you?
Stop. Do not move.
You should
come back after
Wait. How old are you?
I am 15 years old.
Actually, I turned 16,
but I still look like I am 15.
Why I ought to
- Master.
- Master. Over here.
I have to get you.
- We are over here.
- Over here.
- Come over here.
- Master!
- We are here.
- Hey.
Here you are.
Yes, here I am, you old man.
What? You are here.
Get out.
My gosh.
How could you send
a little girl to my room?
What? Do you not like her?
Then I will send another girl.
Gosh, you old man.
Do you think I will stay here
if you do that?
What?
You are going to leave again?
Last time, you said
you would be away for a month,
but you were gone for over a year!
I am old now.
I am old.
Where did the mighty Gu Yang Chun go?
Tell me.
This time,
I really will not be gone for a while.
Gosh. Why is he bringing him along?
Jang Hyun!
Jang Hyun!
Yes.
Is the bright Young Rang
here to say goodbye?
Yes.
Do you know how well
everyone is treating me
for spending the night with you?
Is that so?
Then why is there a rumor going around
that I am a eunuch?
Ae Ok, that brat.
I told her not to tell anyone.
- Young Rang.
- Yes?
Let me make this clear.
I am not
Not
I did not leave you there
because I am whatever you think I am.
Do you feel sorry?
If you feel sorry,
can you do me a favor?
I will do anything.
Until you lose your lanugo,
you better not
become an official kisaeng.
Why not?
- You are too young
- By any chance,
is it because you want me for yourself?
Then
will you fix your thing down there?
I told you that is not true.
You are mistaken.
- You got it wrong.
- Let us go.
She already found out.
There is no need for excuses.
- But
- How lame.
It is not true.
- How am I supposed to know?
- Right?
You know it is not true, do you not?
Let go! She thinks it is real!
Just let her think that.
Jang Hyun, I will be waiting for you!
I will wait for you
no matter how long it takes!
So you have to fix your disease!
I hope your thing down there
works fine next time!
Okay?
It is not true!
I said it is not true!
The weather is so nice.
Since it has been a while now
I'm so glad that man Tsueda is gone now.
That scoundrel played tricks
and colluded like a rat,
and innocent people died because of that.
And yet Kkeut Soe gets all worked up
and denies killing Tsueda.
Gosh, he's a trickster himself now.
Jang Hyun, Kkeut Soe is
a dumb man who is innately bad at lying.
But could it have been you
who ordered him to kill Tsueda?
But why?
Why? Because I am a terrible man myself.
Gosh.
Hold it.
- It's going up.
- I am holding it.
- Wait.
- That's it.
Move it.
- Take this.
- Okay.
Here.
What are you doing?
There.
Look at this.
It's turning out nicely.
I know.
That's right.
Sixty years ago,
I was working in the field,
and when I heard the bride was coming,
I quickly washed my face
in the stream and went down.
I did not deserve a bride.
But you see,
from a distance,
a girl walked down cheerfully.
A girl looking like a full moon
came with just one bundle.
I could not bring myself up
to speak to her,
so I snatched her bundle and walked.
I did not enter the bride's room,
and I kept on drinking.
People said
it was because the bride could not speak.
They talked in whispers.
But that was not it.
I am sorry about that.
I was just a lowly farmer.
How did I deserve
a beautiful bride like her?
I got her.
I will make her the most
beautiful bride in the world.
- Congratulations.
- Congratulations.
- Hold on tight.
- Let us help you.
- Careful.
- My goodness.
Here.
Lastly.
Lee Jang Hyun said he would arrive on time
for the 60th wedding anniversary party.
What did I tell you?
You should not trust him too much.
He is here.
The rice is here.
Is that rice?
That is rice, is it not?
It is rice.
It has come.
It arrived.
All right.
Here comes the groom.
Look at the groom.
Welcome.
Here comes the bride.
She is beautiful.
The bride drinks.
The groom drinks
in return.
- Bless you.
- Bless you.
- Live long.
- Live long.
- What?
- Who is he?
I would like to sing
for this precious event.
- He is going to sing.
- Who is he?
He is going to sing.
I am looking from afar
At your endearing face
The face that I missed
Was carried
By the distant wind
You are like me
Burying your face in your hands
The moment
I was waiting for
Walk on that path
Even when you waver
In the moonlight
So she had a crush on someone.
Come on.
Today, I will make an offer to Yeon Jun
which he cannot turn down.
Turn down
What?
- I will kiss him.
- My goodness!
What if Lord Yoo finds out?
How would Father find out?
So hurry up
and fetch Young Master Yeon Jun.
Tell him my face suddenly turned purple,
then I fainted.
Hurry, Jong Jong. Go on!
Like this?
No.
Maybe here.
Young Master Yeon Jun.
Young Master Yeon Jun.
My lady! Goodness.
My lady!
Young Master Yeon Jun.
You are covered in sweat.
You should have some water.
- Jong Jong!
- No, it is okay.
I was just surprised for a moment.
Jong Jong.
You were surprised?
You are always brave and strong.
What happened?
"Brave and strong?"
What are you talking about?
I cannot even harm a fly.
My gosh!
You little Go away.
How embarrassing.
My lady, I flicked it away.
Are you all right?
Young Master Yeon Jun.
I have been
trying to feel you out
without revealing how I truly felt.
It must have been frustrating for you.
Now, I wish to tell you.
Yes.
I feel the same way as you do.
What do you mean?
My lady.
I am engaged to Lady Eun Ae.
Who cares about a promise you made
when you were little?
That promise is not the reason
I am staying by Lady Eun Ae's side.
I
truly care for her.
Then
what about those glances
and the sweet words you said to me?
Did you lead me on to mess with me?
You are my teacher's daughter
and Lady Eun Ae's favorite friend, so
So?
You were just being nice to me?
You are lying.
It is all a lie.
I know.
I know that you
This never happened.
I was the first one.
I fell for you first,
and you and Eun Ae met because of me.
- I loved you first
- Gil Chae!
Gil Chae.
Gil Chae.
I saved you from being made fun of
for a thousand years to come.
Gil Chae!
Gil Chae!
I heard she fainted. Where did she go?
Gil Chae!
I wonder where she is.
Lady Gil Chae!
You were eavesdropping?
"Eavesdropping?" No.
How could I not hear
that loud love confession?
How rude!
So in short,
you loved your friend's fiancé?
It is similar to one of the stories
I heard at the market.
A wrongful encounter
that should have never happened.
Here is the full story.
"I trusted my friend
as much as I trusted you."
"Hence, I casually introduced you
to my friend."
"After that, the three of us
spent time together often."
"We had fun"
"and hung out together."
So you had a crush on Yeon Jun?
Oh, right.
Was he the man
you were waiting for by the swings?
Goodness. I heard there was
a fox with 99 tails in Neunggun-ri
and was excited to see what you could do.
But you cannot even win a man's heart?
Are you
done talking?
What was I saying?
Right.
A fox
with 99 tails.
I can keep rambling on
until my casket gets closed.
But what I truly wish to say is this.
I do not think
you stand a chance with him, so
Shut your mouth.
So give up false hope and
I told you to shut your mouth.
Come to me.
Are you proposing to me right now?
What? Nonsense.
You already know
that I do not believe in marriage
Right, you do not wish to get married.
Why get married
and kill the romance in your heart?
Even if you are madly in love,
the excitement and passion
quickly fizzle out.
My point is,
why not forget about marriage
as it is nothing but a hassle?
How about we passionately
"Passionately?"
How about we make love to each other?
I do not say this to every woman I meet.
I cannot have a conversation like this
with other women.
However,
you are
gutsy.
I think we can see eye to eye.
Finally, you are showing your true colors.
Are you smitten by me?
Well, since you are a man too,
it is only natural you feel that way.
The moment you first see me,
you feel like you can't breathe.
The second time you see me,
you feel your heart wanting me.
And the third time, you become lovesick.
So you'd cry your eyes out like a kid
and get all clingy.
That is
the truth behind the mysterious disease
that has affected every man in this town.
It begins when you fall for me.
But you know what?
I
hate your guts.
You hate me?
That much?
Yes, I hate you.
I suppose you have broken
many women's hearts
while living a hedonistic lifestyle.
But I will not fall for your tricks,
so have fun for just a few more days
and leave.
- Do not wreak havoc on my village.
- Wait, stop.
Why not me?
You want to know?
Are you sure you can handle
what I am about to say?
You converse with foreign intruders,
which is wrong.
You purposely mislead your elders
with your sweet words.
I caught you eavesdropping on me
hiding like a little rat.
You dared to grab a woman's wrist
and rudely bothered her.
You stole women's hearts
and ran away like a loser. But what?
You do not believe in marriage?
Is that so?
And most importantly,
I do not like that face of yours.
You are ugly.
Darling, my husband
Darling, my husband
My darling
Darling, my husband
- She is here.
- Love
My love
It is love
It is definitely love
It is surely love
Goodness, it is love
Moon, bright moon
No matter how busy you are
They
were talking behind my back again.
What did they say this time?
They said you would end up
(Kyohyung: death by hanging)
like Uhwudong who was executed
for committing adultery.
(Uhwudong: a woman
from the Joseon dynasty)
(who was executed for committing adultery)
They are so mean.
I wish I was like Uhwudong
and had more room in my heart
for other men.
I just want to
give my unchanging love
to a person who is unchanging.
Are you saying Young Master Yeon Jun
is unchanging?
Yes.
Young Master Yeon Jun does not change.
Men have no fidelity or discipline,
so they are always
looking for prettier flowers,
but Young Master Yeon Jun is different.
With the person I love,
I just want to
go see flowers in the spring,
dip my feet with him
in a stream in the summer,
and in the winter, I want to drink
the wine that we made in the fall.
I just want to grow old
with the person I love.
Is that the life that you want to live?
Do not make tomorrow come
Do not grow old
And stay like this
For a hundred years
It is love, my love
Goodness, my love
They say a couple will grow old together
if it snows on their wedding day.
May the both of you live long and prosper.
- Live long and prosper!
- Live long and prosper!
- Live long and prosper!
- Live long and prosper!
Disguise yourselves as tradesmen,
and ride with all your might
to besiege the palace
where the king of Joseon is.
Do not waste your time fighting
each fortress in Joseon.
You must enter Hanyang
before the Joseon king flees to Ganghwa,
and wait.
The foreign intruders are here!
The intruders
The foreign intruders are here!
They
took His Majesty captive!
- What did he say?
- What is he saying?
What is he saying?
- What is he saying?
- What is going on?
Is he saying the truth?
- What is going on?
- What is going on?
Are you being serious?
(My Dearest)
The people of Joseon,
let us save His Majesty!
Those with a burning heart, come forward!
I will go! Is there no one else?
I can help.
He could die.
We have to stop them.
Stop the army from fighting.
My lady,
The country is being invaded
and the king is being held captive.
If you step onto the battlefield,
the violent intruders will
Then if I am lucky enough
to come back alive,
allow me to kiss your precious lips.
