Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (2016) s01e05 Episode Script

1
[This drama is created with the background of the historical facts
from the founding of Goryeo by Taejo Wang Geon until the rise of 4th King Gwangjong.]
[Episode 5]
Why here?
The prince's living quarters
are luxurious and clean.
Why do you insist on staying here?
This is where I spend my time.
It belongs to me!
This is the king's palace.
You're saying something here
belongs to you?
Well, that's not what I meant.
That's good, then.
Breaking into someone's home is wrong.
Can a prince do this?
I can't see the sky from my room.
I can't see the stars that rise
only in Goryeo either.
Stars only in Goryeo?
Is there such a thing?
Mung beans, mulberry,
bletilla tuber, buttercups.
Trichosanthis root, spikenard,
galanga, sweet grass, incense.
Wow! Look at all of this.
The 8th Prince sent for all of it.
The prince?
You were looking for a hobby.
He said you enjoy working with
these medicinal herbs.
But what is it that you plan
on making with all of this?
A washing soap.
I will make you a soap to wash with.
Do you think the queen will like
these soaps like Lady Hae said?
Of course.
There isn't a person in Goryeo
who wouldn't like it.
Round, like this.
It looks funny.
Let's make it again.
I have never seen her so happy.
She is even more excited
to give it to the queen.
She may not have said so
however, she must've been
frustrated to lose her memories.
She still remembers how to do this.
It is a relief.
Soo has become much more mature
since her injury.
She often says things that sound
wiser than anything I would say.
At other times, she acts her age
and is very cute.
Many times, I pondered
sending her back home.
Now I'm very glad that I did not.
I want to find a good mate for her here.
I want her by our side for a long time.
I want to see that laughing face of hers.
Yes.
I feel the same way.
A bit more of that
I need to write a letter.
Can you get me a new ink pen?
Come to the library
once you've finished eating.
Myung Hee, I'm here.
She had asked me for a new ink pen.
Lady Hae was coughing badly,
so she went to bed.
She asked me to write this on her behalf.
Ah, I see.
The ink
is over here.
Oh, okay.
This is a poem written by Tao Yuanming
entitled "Come Away Home."
- You've read it before, right?
- Yes yes.
When Lady Hae sends a letter,
she always sends a poem, as well.
Oh
What about you?
What?
Do you like poems or songs?
Poems or songs
I prefer songs, of course.
Oh, really?
How unexpected.
A noble lady like yourself is
drawn to the songs of commoners.
What? It's not that kind of music?
Ah, you fool.
He's referring to Goryeo music.
No, no. I, too, like poems
more than songs.
Then I will give you this poem.
I feel that I want to give it to you.
Read it carefully.
Thank you.
- Chae Ryung.
- Yes, Lady.
Come here.
I was given this thing here.
Well
I forgot how to read
after I hurt my head.
What?
I'll learn it again,
but can you read this for me?
How would I know how to read?
I only know my name.
I'm sorry.
Yang, Ryu, Chung, Chung, Kang, Su, Pyung!
I can recognize
each character individually
but it's like an alien language
when I read it altogether!
Gosh, I'm illiterate here.
How can I live here?
His handwriting is
just as handsome as he is.
It would be even nicer
if I knew what it meant.
I wish I could read it.
I want to read it. I want to read it.
I want to read it. I want to read it!
Why didn't you take a class
in Chinese characters?
What are you doing?
- Oh my.
- Are you illiterate?
No.
I know how to read, but
I forgot everything when I hurt my head.
- Give it to me.
- Oh, no.
I said I'll read it for you.
Let me see.
"Green. O green is the willow"
"Placid, peaceful the flow,"
"Hark and I hear on the river."
Hey, you.
"To the east, the sun is up.
To the west, drizzles persist."
"Though they say the sun is naught"
"to me, the sun is aglow."
It is a lovely poem.
It is a poem written by Liu Yuxi
entitled "Song of Bamboo Twigs".
Do you know what the poem means?
"Green, O green is the willow."
So, it must be about
the beautiful landscape, right?
This wouldn't have been written
by an illiterate person.
Who gave it to you?
The 8th Prince gave it to me to study.
Is it true that you really can't read?
You're not just pretending?
No. Why would I pretend to be stupid?
The prince gave you a good poem,
so make sure to return the favor.
Also, you will be greeting the queen
tomorrow in the palace, so be prepared.
The palace? I'm going to the palace?
Yes, you'll be giving her
the soaps that you made.
Okay! Then I'll get ready.
Is my brother in his right mind?
It is merely a common poem
about the landscape.
That poem is about love.
In the last section,
a word is changed to "love"
and is used to make a confession.
Are you really telling me
that you did not know?
When you got married, I
Is it possible?
Did you know everything beforehand?
You already knew how Wook felt.
I'm right, aren't I?
Baek Ah.
You need to finish your drawing for me
by the end of today.
Myung Hee.
So, the willow is green,
and the water placid and peaceful.
The young man sings a song of love.
He didn't think the sun was naught
But it was?
Gosh.
No, no, no.
What other meaning could there be?
No, there isn't!
Stop thinking that way.
The prince is just
yes, a landlord.
Just consider him a landlord.
You need to control your own heart.
My heart is my own.
Landlord landlord.
You never come by Damiwon Palace.
What brings you by today?
Wook wanted to drop by with
his wife and his wife's cousin.
My daughter-in-law isn't feeling well.
I wanted to get her some medicine
from Royal Concubine Oh.
I don't know why people put
so much trust in Royal Concubine Oh.
She's not a doctor.
She's just a court lady.
By the way,
Prince Jung has grown quite a bit.
I heard that you have a private teacher
for him in your home.
The teacher is already 70 years old.
He should have a teacher
who can teach him
about more than just his own experience.
Who is Wook learning from?
Wook likes to read and read again.
If he has anything he does not know,
he discusses it with a teacher.
He refused a teacher early on.
You're keeping his teacher a secret?
Are you concerned about
his much younger brother?
The 8th Prince is here.
Hello to both of you, Your Highnesses.
Come on in.
You must be Hae Soo.
This is my first time
seeing you this close up.
You sure are very pretty.
It is nice to meet you, Queen Hwangbo.
This is my daughter-in-law's
sixth cousin, Soo.
Yes.
Oh you must be the girl
Jung told me about.
The girl who hit the
10th Prince severely?
I have heard about your actions.
I have heard you get along
well with my sons.
It is nice to meet you, Queen Yoo.
Soo has made a gift
for you, Your Highness.
Oh my word! How beautiful.
I have never seen anything like it.
If you use it every time you bathe
your skin will become
quite soft.
Thank you. I will use it well.
We have one for you as well, Queen Yoo.
Me too?
I know you like fragrant things.
Please accept it.
You have a very good daughter-in-law,
Queen Hwangbo.
Too bad you do not have children.
There would be no flaws, otherwise.
They say big blessings
do not come so easily.
Thank you for your concern.
The king will enter.
It's Taejo Wang Geon.
Taejo Wang Geon who founded Goryeo!
I've only seem him in TV dramas.
Now I'm seeing him for real.
Awesome.
Have you arrived, Your Majesty?
This looks like a pleasant chat.
I have heard that
you were not feeling well.
Now that I know you are worried for me,
I feel like I am fully recovered.
Is this the girl who got into a fight
with Eun, by any chance?
They were only playing around.
A prince ended up
with wounds on his face.
The playing went too far.
How could this cute and pretty girl
have gotten into such a fight with Eun?
I have committed a deadly crime!
Are you afraid of the king?
Get your act together.
A tyrant lives off of fear
while a good and wise king
lives off of virtue.
You are a good and wise king,
so I am not afraid.
A good and wise king?
Why do you think that I am
a good and wise king?
Were you planning on getting away
with it by using some flattery?
Please, please, please, please!
Think of something. You have to think.
Well
You united the three lands
and founded a new nation.
You didn't discriminate against people
from the fallen lands.
You appointed them to high positions.
Also, also what else?
Balhae, Balhae.
Balhae disappeared but you stayed loyal.
That is why you are a good and wise king.
She is very clever.
My junior high history teacher
I'm sorry for cursing you
when you made us memorize this.
Thank you! You'll be blessed.
I see fighting is not all
that you're good at.
You may reward her with a Persian rug.
Yes, Your Majesty.
A precious rug like that.
What an honor for her!
Soo you should thank him.
You are very benevolent, Your Majesty!
Gosh, where's the bathroom?
I was so nervous in there.
My stomach is killing me.
Where is the bathroom? Where?
Where is it? Where is it?
Oh wow.
Wow!
What are you doing here?
This is no place for you.
You've become a
completely different person.
Now anyone would know
that you're a prince.
I was born to be. I was already a prince.
What about you?
Are you here to spy on people
bathing again?
I had a gift for the queen
and the 8th Prince let me
come along to see the palace.
Are you doing well in this place?
Of course.
Like you said, it's my home
with my mother and siblings.
Ah, I see.
It's too big for a home.
Do you even get to see
your parents every day?
You got to stay here like you wanted.
Do you think you'll get what you want?
I sent you to get adopted as a
gesture of goodwill to that family.
You couldn't even stay.
You're useless.
You were born in the same year,
but you are nowhere near Wook.
Your only talent is in killing people.
You don't know anything,
so how will you last in the palace?
Thank you for your concern.
I will not be a burden to you.
I will use every ounce of my strength
to make sure that I'm not.
Is she really his mother?
That was a terrible thing to witness.
Should I have told him I was leaving?
What could be so important that you
wouldn't take care of your health first?
Is anyone out there?
Call the doctor now.
I have something I need to say to you.
My child.
You told me on my wedding day.
You said I was a great source
of strength to the prince.
You said you would grant
a request of mine later on.
No matter how difficult it was,
you promised you would.
My child, what can I do for you?
Hae Soo
please accept her as the prince's wife.
You know.
I no longer have many days left.
Are you here, Your Highness?
Ji Mong, I came to visit my mother.
Mister! You know me, don't you?
What?
You've met me before.
We even had a drink together.
What is this outrageous story?
Soo, you've met the astronomer
Choi Ji Mong before?
Of course!
Mister, you really don't know me?
I was looking all over for you.
But I do not know you, my lady.
I just found out that you were
the cousin of the 8th Prince's wife.
I didn't look like this back then.
It wasn't in Goryeo.
So, it's in about a thousand years!
A thousand years from now
by a lake in a park.
Be careful.
Excuse me?
Inside the palace
you must always watch what you say.
It is a place where speaking freely
can be dangerous.
Especially regarding the throne
or the royal family.
If you ended up living here,
you should abide by the norms here.
Your life can't change
just because you want it to.
So, do you and Choi Ji Mong
already know each other?
I thought I knew him,
but I was wrong.
I see.
Wait.
I made this for you when
I made soap for the queens.
I have a lot to thank you for.
You even taught me about poems.
Thank you.
Yes, so do you know
the meaning of that poem?
Of course.
There's a green willow tree by the water.
A man is happy and he sings.
It was a beautiful poem.
Yes, then you should
give me a poem to respond.
What?
It is the proper etiquette to reply
to a poem with another poem.
Will you write me something you like?
Oh
Yes.
I got it wrong again!
The white part is the paper.
The black is the letter.
I have to know something
in order to copy it.
I am going to go crazy and lose my mind.
How am I supposed to write a reply?
Oh, what do I do now?
I shouldn't have pretended I could.
I don't know anymore!
Stop it! I'm serious!
Soo!
What brings you here?
Are you here to see me?
No, that's not it.
I had to drop off something.
Is it food?
Is it this?
Yes, it's this.
I taught her a poem and told her
to reply with another poem.
- You can go now.
- Yes.
Wook.
Let's take a look at what Soo wrote.
Wait
What is this thing?
Did she write something or draw?
You idiots. Give it to me.
Wook, you know what this is?
Well, this is
No, how does this thing
Are these written characters
or is it a drawing?
Can you tell?
What about you, So?
Raise your arms.
To the sky.
Open your mouth.
Make it rounder.
There. That's it right there.
So, that's ridiculous!
He's right. It is.
- It's completely right.
- Let me see.
You should all come look at this!
It's a face laughing with excitement.
Oh, a laughing face!
She must have liked Wook's poem a lot.
Let me try too.
You try too. You try.
Stop right there!
Stop!
What are you doing?
What?
How could you do that to Myung Hee?
You know what kind of person she is.
You know her feelings for Wook.
Who are you to behave this way?
What did I do that you're doing this?
What did you do?
You steal glances at each other.
When you happen to brush hands
you will ponder on it
repeatedly for days.
"What kind of food does he like?"
"What will make him smile?"
This probably never leaves your mind.
Everything you look at
makes you think of him.
Those feelings of longing
between you two!
Did you think no one would know?
I know and Myung Hee knows.
Myung Hee knows everything.
Myung Hee does?
Listen carefully.
All she has is Wook.
She has only ever had eyes for Wook.
But if you if you hurt her
I won't stand by and let that happen.
I'm sorry you had to hear that.
It's my fault.
I said I wouldn't be a burden.
But I became your heaviest burden.
It isn't your fault, Soo.
I gave you the poem.
And I received yours.
I made an effort to make you laugh.
It was all me.
It's all my fault.
Don't blame yourself.
Please don't do that.
I knew that a person's feelings
could be dangerous.
I pretended not to notice
and assumed it would resolve itself.
I took your hand.
And I came out of my room that night.
That was my fault.
Please
don't say things like that.
When I'm with you
I am always crying.
I'm sorry for that.
I thought it was time for a new pillow,
so I made that for you.
I must be the King of Heaven
to sleep on such finery.
My skills are still lacking.
They say fathers with daughters
can easily become fools.
I am like that.
You are such a beautiful young lady.
Who can I marry you off to?
I'm sure you will choose well
for me, Your Majesty.
I want you to live happily
like my elder daughter.
Though it is unfortunate
that I don't see her often.
Is it not true that Princess Naklang
married and is happy where she is now?
Does that mean you wish for me to
live far away from the palace?
Why? Do you not want to?
If it is a place you choose for me,
I will be happy wherever I go.
I will wait for you to find
a good match for me, Your Majesty.
Yeon Hwa, how is it that you only
say things that bring me joy?
You are my greatest joy in my old age.
Thank you.
So!
Yes.
I'm still not used to
seeing you in the palace.
I don't feel like these
are my clothes yet.
You must be here to see the king.
Yes.
The king must be planning
to marry me off.
Oh, really? Has he chosen someone?
The thing is
Why? You don't think it's you, do you?
Don't bother having useless expectations.
It may have been a surprise that the
king allowed you to stay in the palace.
But he will never let you have someone
so precious like Yeon Hwa.
Do you want to see and make a bet on it?
Are there fools who make bets
on such obvious things?
Then, let's ask Yeon Hwa.
Does she have the confidence to live
looking upon that ugly face forever?
I'm not looking for a great man.
I'm waiting for a man
who will cherish me.
Someone who will treasure me.
He must know your value
in order to treasure you.
Yeon Hwa, I would treat you
like this nation's queen.
You have always been kind to me.
What about you, So?
You're not asking me to put
a value on you, are you?
Rather than a woman of high value,
I want one who will treasure me.
Someone who would not be concerned
about this ugly face of mine.
He's just saying that.
He always shows off like that.
Yet, he is only a struggling animal.
How much fun would it be to
turn an animal into a human?
Sometimes I am curious about that.
Myung Hee!
Myung Hee, are you okay?
Chae Ryung. Chae Ryung, Chae Ryung!
Is anyone there? Chae Ryung!
Soo!
You
What are your feelings for the prince?
You're so foolish.
You are both so foolish.
Can you
do my makeup for me?
What?
It's for him.
I want him to remember me
looking beautiful.
Myung Hee.
Soo.
You have a feverish body
and catch colds very easily.
You must always remember
to have ginger in honey.
You live in close quarters
to the royal family.
Be careful with your
words and actions, always.
I am always worried about your
uncontrollable temper.
And about the prince
I want you to make a pillow for him.
He has many worries.
I would like it if he could
be comfortable in his sleep.
I'm asking you
to take care of him.
Your Highness! Your Highness!
- Soo.
- It's Myung Hee.
She's looking for you. Hurry up.
Lady Hae, I think we should head back in.
I wanted to come out with you.
I wanted to come out to see the snow.
Do you remember?
Do you remember when I first saw you?
I knew you found me to be a burden.
I still stubbornly pushed for marriage.
You had been kicked out of the palace.
You were a prince
whose wings had been cut off.
I wanted to help you rise up
with my own hands.
Lady Hae.
Why would you think that
I didn't know how you felt, Lady Hae?
Now
I want you, Your Highness
to watch over Soo.
Think about my feelings for you.
Please, Soo
That child
Lady Hae? Lady, Lady.
Lady Hae.
What you said to me before
I cannot forget it.
You said
that I do not love you.
Lady Hae, I
You
do not have to say anything.
But
I was able to
love you more.
That was enough.
Myung Hee.
Do not wake Lady Hae from her sleep.
