Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (2016) s01e07 Episode Script
A Court Lady in Damiwon
1
[Episode 7]
Though you were once
to be the king's woman
you are merely a court lady here.
Yes, I understand.
I will do my best to adjust quickly.
Do you know how to serve tea?
Do you know how to differentiate herbs
or how to apply makeup?
That happens to be what I'm best at.
I'm licensed in skincare and
know how to apply makeup well.
I can hand-make my own makeup, as well.
I think that Damiwon
will suit me very well.
You know how to read
and write, don't you?
No.
You really don't know?
You're still here?
I was very curious about this place.
I think I'll be fine here.
They are all things I'm very good at.
Ah, did you know I was
good at applying makeup?
You didn't, did you?
Regardless, I'll be living at
the palace, so come visit often.
Oh, I forgot.
You were very startled
because of me, weren't you?
I never even got to thank you.
Still, isn't it a relief that I
didn't have to marry the king?
You could have died.
If the cut were a little deeper,
you would have died.
I didn't die.
Did you think about what it's like
to live with a scar on your body?
Are you happy to be a court lady?
You may never be able to step foot
outside this palace ever again.
Are you excited?
Why did you have to go so far?
Why didn't you just marry the king then?
I don't know! I just don't!
"If you can't do anything, just close
your eyes and enter the king's room."
That's what I told myself.
I just couldn't do it.
No one can save me but myself.
That's what I thought
and that's why I did it.
Once I came to
this happened.
You stupid girl.
Don't do this again.
I won't ever forgive you.
Where is this place?
It's a lake called Dongji.
It's the first place
the sun rises in the palace.
What kind of place is the palace?
A place that's hard to enter
and even harder to leave.
You end up dying if you trust anyone.
You'll live if you remain alert
and wary of those closest to you.
It is a place like that.
Well then it seems like you
don't know everything either.
Everyone here is alone.
That is one thing I know for certain.
I am not alone, so I'm all right.
You're not alone?
You're here, Your Highness.
How am I alone?
You'll be in trouble if you
become more reckless like that.
Everyone who lives here is a person too.
So, I will be able to get through it.
I suppose you will.
Now that a noisy thing like you is here,
I suppose the palace won't be boring.
- Brother
- Yes?
Our mother's family will soon look
to arrange another marriage.
One political marriage is more than enough
So then should we all just die?
Or just like before,
should we be thrown out by the Yoos of Chungju again,
move around all over the place
and be pushed further and further north?
Yeon Hwa, I have forgotten about everything.
Mother too.
No - so should you.
Just look at 3rd Prince.
He married the daughter of minister Park Gyung Gu.
It's a scheme to vie for the throne
by holding the power of Later Baekje in his hands.
If the Chungju Yoo clan pushes out the Crown Prince and takes control,
it is evident what our situation will be.
We'll either all die or be thrown out.
And yet you want me to forget?
How?
What about you?
I thought you had feelings for the 4th Prince.
Even if it isn't the 4th Prince,
whoever it may be that provides a road to the throne,
that is the person for whom I will have feelings.
Whether it's an arranged marriage or even if I'm sold off,
I will not enter into a marriage that will not be helpful to you
Yeon Hwa,
Can't you now just be at peace?
There is only one path for me to live peacefully.
Become the king, Brother.
Due to my illness
I missed the morning assembly again
There are surely many complaints to dethrone me
Everyone is living with an illness
Don't blame yourself too much
[Crown Prince Moo]
I feel like a burden with this illness
Standing in a position that does not belong to me
Greedy for the throne
I've told you clearly.
Your Highness was born under the star of a king
Why would I fool everyone in Goryeo?
So please, just focus on your illness
Grand General.
All right, you can rest.
- You've all been well, right?
- Yes.
All right. Good.
Wow! It is still a brilliant place.
You refused to give that to your father.
How can you be so unreasonable?
This is for someone else.
Everything good and delicious
should be for your father.
[Grand General Park Soo Kyung]
Your subject Park Soo Kyung
has come to see you, Your Majesty.
[King Taejo]
Have you arrived, Grand General?
I should have washed up before coming.
I apologize, Your Majesty.
You could not come to the capital
and I left my lacking son in your care.
I feel very badly for that.
The 4th Prince is very talented,
so I enjoyed teaching him martial arts.
If it were not for the scar on his face
he would not be lacking
as a Crown Prince.
Then, are you saying the Crown Prince
is lacking in his martial arts skills?
Prince Wang Moo is far too gentle
compared to the strength of his fists.
I wonder how much
he would have had to fight
in the political world of the palace.
I think the war zone might be better off.
Still, there are many things
to be learned while in the palace.
What? What are they?
Some tact and sense.
Then, is that what Prince Wang So
has been learning here?
Tact and sense.
- Gosh, you are ignorant.
- Just leave.
Crown Prince, you gave me a horse previously.
What will you give this time?
Just try to win.
I will give you any trinkets you want.
You promised.
Jung, come at me, then.
I don't know about anyone else,
but I will beat you, 10th brother!
I cannot lose today.
Jung, don't use too much strength.
- Let us be off, my brothers!
- Hold on. Wait.
Thirdly, if you place the objects
on the water's surface
Oh my. Would you look at that?
I hear you're burying yourself in books
rather than practicing
your military skills.
I think I've learned enough of the
martial arts from you, Grand General.
I should fill up my brain now.
You killed multiple men in one day
and set them all on fire.
They all deserved to die.
It seems like you've read
many books in all this time.
You now have the ability to determine
who deserves to die and who doesn't.
No matter how many times
you die and are reborn
you will eventually have to
pay for what you've done.
It was you who taught me how to kill.
I taught you how to kill only
in order to protect someone.
I stopped trouble in the royal family,
so I protected the nation.
What is the real reason
you want to live in Songak?
If you go back to Shinju now,
you will be able to control that family.
I am a prince too.
I should know how the royal family works.
What does it mean to be king that
Mother and my siblings are so persistent?
Then, will you return once you
are done observing them?
Must I return?
The prince that remains
living in Songak
there is only one.
The one who will sit on the throne.
Please think carefully.
What is the real reason
you want to live in Songak?
How is your headache?
It does feel a bit better since
I had the chrysanthemum tea.
However, it is still there.
[Queen Hwangbo]
It does not get better,
though 10 days have passed.
I should not have high expectations.
I will add some more herbs to the pouch.
There is nothing as good for headaches
as chrysanthemum.
Thank you.
How are you doing, Soo?
Are you adjusting well?
You were a noble and
now you're in the palace.
Nothing must be easy. How is it?
It is not hard. I'm doing well.
Ah, I will make you more soaps if you
enjoyed what I made you last time.
I can apply makeup for you, as well.
I think some of the makeup has streaked.
You are not ready to step in.
Do not get in the way and step outside.
Yes.
Now that I think about it,
she suits the Damiwon well.
The soaps she made were very nice.
I will watch over her closely.
How are you, by the way?
Is Queen Yoo treating you
poorly as usual?
It does not bother me.
You do not need to worry.
Your stomach pains are like my headaches.
That's why I bring this up.
We both have these chronic pains
because of the same thing.
I should at least worry about you.
You need to go see the doctor.
I know the doctor is for royals,
but if it were for you
Thank you for your great blessings.
Ice, ice, ice!
I feel like there are insects on my body!
Ice! Get me ice now!
Ice! Ice!
Ice!
The doctor! Bring the doctor!
My body is being torn apart.
There are insects all over my body.
That looks like atopic eczema.
No, you can't do that!
- You can't do that!
- Move!
You can't use cold water.
What do you know?
Doesn't it itch more when you
eat beans or cold food?
Also, when you're tired and sweaty.
You can't use blankets with down.
How do you know that?
Please trust me.
Use warm water to wash.
Cold water will make it itch more.
Do you have any cold leaves, by chance?
Aloe, green tea oh, peppermint leaves!
Get the temperature right first.
The peppermint leaves will
help with the itching.
What do you think you're doing?
All of you, get out!
Get out!
My mother had the same illness
so I've seen it for a long time.
If he sits in a bath
This is not a place for you.
Court Lady Oh.
Crown Prince! Are you all right?
Please breathe and calm down.
Stay calm.
"Sage of Tea."
It is a book written by medical expert
Lu Yu from the Tang Dynasty.
"Newly Revised
Materia Medica: Tang Edition."
It's a medical book on
the use of over 100 medicines.
"Supplement to Materia Medica."
It is a book about many medicinal plants
by Chen Cang Qi from the Tang Dynasty.
It's a record of the use of plants.
If you had read all of these books,
you would not have made today's mistakes.
How could you dare to
touch the Crown Prince?
He was suffering so much.
I knew how to help him.
I couldn't stand idly by.
How did you know that peppermint leaves
were good for itching of the skin?
You're illiterate so
you couldn't have read it.
My mother has the same illness,
so I've seen her use the treatments.
You must never speak of
the Crown Prince's illness.
You will not see the sunrise
tomorrow if you do.
Do you understand?
Yes.
Drink up.
Drink.
You drink up too.
Wow.
I don't want to do this.
It's not like I'm an ox or something.
I thought nobles were treated
differently even as court ladies.
This is very different, indeed.
- Should I just run away?
- Run?
Where in Goryeo do you think
you can hide from the king?
Who who said I was
really going to run?
I was only saying that
it would be nice to.
You're a court lady of Damiwon,
yet you act like a royal court minister.
You don't use your hands or your body.
You're always using that head of yours.
No matter how I look at it,
this place doesn't suit me.
No one recognizes my talent.
I am overflowing with talent.
Have you ever demonstrated your talent?
Even with the Crown Prince,
I was correct about everything but
Anyhow, you need a good boss in order
to get recognition in the workplace.
It's not going to work out this time.
You don't happen to know about the
Crown Prince's illness, do you?
Huh? What?
I've never heard of that.
Watch what you say.
This time it won't end with
just being sent to the Damiwon.
You know too, Your Highness.
But the atopic I mean, itchy skin.
It won't get better just by making
a fuss as if he's going to die.
He just needs to take care
of himself and eat well.
Do you think Court Lady Oh is
trying to keep me in check?
Because the Crown Prince might favor me.
What if you had made the
Crown Prince worse?
You'd already be dead.
You should know she let you off easy.
Maybe you're right.
Just by seeing how you water trees
you're not overflowing with,
but actually lacking talent.
Very much lacking.
Whenever you are growing something,
you have to give it a name.
You must make friends with it.
Why would I name a tree?
I'm even confused about my name.
Oh, that pine tree means "the best."
That one can be named Best.
And this mulberry tree,
the fruits make one pass gas.
Fartie?
Are you making fun of me right now?
When I was in Shinju,
I named a white birch tree Pat Pat.
Three men could hang from it
and it would not budge.
Goodness, your friend
must be very famous.
I burned it down myself a few years ago.
It's gone now.
What?
It was cold and the
wolves were gathering.
It happened to catch my eye.
Forget it. Why am I saying this to you?
Don't think about running.
Stay faithful to what
you've decided to do.
Got it?
You should work for your living.
I thought he was being
too good to me lately.
[10th Prince Eun]
Soo, how long do I
have to stay like this?
Wait a little longer.
Soo.
My fingers are tingling and
it feels like there are insects.
Gosh, just sit there and be patient.
They say if the snapweed is left
until the first snow falls
your first love will come to you.
Really?
First love, you say.
It's a cold day
Chun Il
Chun Il what is this again?
"Bong" as in the peak.
"Chun Il Bong Hwa."
It means that flowers have bloomed
on a warm spring day.
What is all of this?
It's my homework.
I didn't know how to read,
so I used the wrong herb.
You don't know how to read?
Well
Honestly, I haven't been
able to read since I hurt my head.
Then, how did you read that poem
I gave you before?
Myung Hee read it to me.
The green willow tree is by the water.
It was that poem.
I have so much to repay to Lady Hae.
What?
You are so hard to meet.
I was going to write you a letter.
You cannot read, so now what?
Don't worry.
I'll be able to read it all soon.
Soo.
Draw it down like this.
It's the Amur Adonis plant.
It's a medicinal plant that helps if
used well, but can also be poisonous.
I see.
This
What is this character?
My name.
Wook.
It means the sun rising in the morning.
The sun rising in the morning, Wook.
The color red protects you
from misfortune.
It also symbolizes a joyful relationship.
Can you promise me?
That you will never take it off.
I will do whatever it takes to
return you to where you belong.
So
please wait.
I know how you feel.
There's no need for you to rush.
I am doing fine here.
Wang
Wook.
The morning sun, Wook.
Even hearing the word "wait"
can make me happy.
I like that person.
If I were with him
I think I would be okay being Hae Soo
instead of Go Ha Jin.
You'll be able to live well.
Hae Soo.
Hey, kids.
Thank you.
- Don't eat too fast.
- Yes, sir.
What do you think you're doing?
Do we look like pigs to you?
What?
We may have lost to Goryeo and we
may be suffering because of the drought.
But we are still human beings.
Do not dare to think
you can look down on us.
That's not it
I only wanted to show what
the drought was doing to the people.
It's not enough for Goryeo aristocrats
to live in luxury.
I hear they keep dirty
and low things as art.
You latch on to people like that.
And you make a mockery
of the suffering of the citizens.
You've sold out your pride
to the government.
You lowly insect.
Insect?
Hey! Hey, stop right there.
Your Highness.
General.
It's a relief that you look so well.
The Foreign Minister wishes
to see you, Your Highness.
Foreign Minister?
That betrayer Park Young Gyu has
become Foreign Minister already?
He's climbed up quite high.
All right, let's go.
This way.
Gosh, she misunderstands all on her own
and then disappears?
Was she a refugee?
All right, let's have a drink now.
Yes, Crown Prince.
Eun, you've grown one year older.
Let me pour you a drink.
Thank you for congratulating me.
Eun, we'll pour you a drink too.
Oh, sure.
What kind of alcohol is that?
Yeon Hwa.
You organized this gathering for us.
I don't know what will happen tonight.
It was more fun for me.
Once I marry and leave here,
I won't be able to do it for you at all.
Marry? What do you mean, you're marrying?
The king is looking into a powerful
family somewhere far away from Songak.
Not even a royal family,
but just a powerful family.
That's nonsense.
I suppose I'm not good enough
and no royal family wants me.
Let's talk about this later with Mother.
One more drink. Drink it all.
Wait, why?
Why is it that I'm the
only one with a cup?
That can't be possible.
You'll have to drink this too.
Wait. Those people
Isn't this a different drink?
- Oh my!
- You drink so well!
What a great night.
I'll get going now.
One more. Here you go.
Drink it down.
What important thing did you
need to talk to me about?
[3rd Prince Yo]
You just be mine.
- What?
- You could the Queen of Goryeo.
But the lady of a powerful household?
I can't bear to see that.
Then, how high do your dreams go?
My dreams?
You want to argue that
even in your desperate situation.
My dream
is Goryeo.
You are very fearless.
I know you want Wook on the throne.
Even if your brother becomes king,
you are still only a princess.
If your husband is a king,
that changes things.
However, I would not be a first wife,
so I cannot be a queen.
Can you give up your
past marriage for me?
I don't give up what is mine
in order to gain a girl.
Let go.
Do you have another choice besides me?
Don't you get tired of it?
Living like a shameful coward.
You should be getting tired of it by now.
You're very persistent.
I see you're still butting into
things you shouldn't be.
We'll talk later.
Thank you.
And please don't tell Wook about this.
Take Wang Yo off of your mind.
You won't be able to get
what you want out of him.
It is a foolish calculation.
If you're going to give me that warning,
show me a better option.
Do you have interest in
being considered by me?
Lady Oh, I've finished everything
you've instructed me to do.
Get going now.
I'm letting you go because the
Crown Prince specifically asked for you.
- Do you understand?
- Yes.
I know my way home.
Your Highness!
It's you, Hae Soo!
Why do you look so pretty today?
I can see two and three of you.
There's Hae Soo everywhere!
Oh no
Hold on and follow me.
Where are you going?
Where is everyone?
Baek Ah, did everyone go off
to hang out without telling us?
That would be a relief.
I'm worried they're off causing trouble.
Please move out of the way.
What what are you?
Aren't you Soon Deok? Park Soon Deok?
Do you know this bear?
This is Grand General Park's
daughter, Soon Deok.
Daughter?
Wow.
Wow!
Isn't this me?
It is.
Soo, you made all of this?
Your Highness.
Thank you for becoming
my first friend in Goryeo.
After Myung Hee passed away,
I was comforted thanks to you.
So, I wanted to give you a special gift.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you.
To my friend, the 10th Prince.
Happy birthday to you.
Why were you born?
Why were you born?
You are so ugly. Why were you born?
Why were you born?
Why were you born?
Why were you born?
You are so ugly. Why were you born?
Wow! Eun, you're enjoying this
all by yourself?
- I'm hurt.
- What are you all doing here?
Soo, are you going to
sing for my birthday?
Baek Ah is right.
You were going to keep this to yourself?
You can't exclude me.
I was the one who asked
Court Lady Oh to send Hae Soo.
You know, you're better than a gisaeng.
Hey, now
I meant that she's good.
Soo, can you sing for us too?
No, she can't.
Yeah, sing.
- Please sing.
- Sing just once.
She can't!
Why are you ruining my present?
- Please sing, Soo.
- Sing, Soo.
- Yes, go on.
- No! Everyone leave!
Why are you all disrupting my gift?
Seriously!
Even in the midst
of a harsh, biting wind
Do you still smile because of the handful of sunshine?
Even among the heartless people
that pass you by in a hurry,
Do you still smile because of the handful of friends you have?
If you ever find a place where there is no loneliness,
Please take me there with you.
My friend, my dear friend
You should get along like this, always.
Who cares if you don't become the king?
Don't forget this moment, right now.
Okay?
Wow!
Wow, Soo!
Soo, you are awesome.
I'm looking forward to my presents.
You should look forward to them.
- Be careful.
- They're cute, aren't they?
- You can leave now.
- Excuse me?
You've made the 10th Prince happy,
so you did your job as a court lady.
Good work.
I didn't do it because I'm a court lady.
Before I was a court lady,
Eun and I were--
You're not about to say that
you were friends, are you?
A prince, friends with a court lady?
How ridiculous would Eun look?
I'm supervising the party,
so I'll take care of it.
You've helped out enough, so run along.
I told you to go.
You are the same
as always, Your Highness.
You look at status before
looking at the person.
You haven't changed
since you hit Chae Ryung.
Would I have any reason to change?
I'm being generous with you
because of Myung Hee.
You should know your place.
I said it was all right.
Crown Prince.
Eun enjoys spending time with Hae Soo,
so I allowed it as a gift to him.
I'm not a very good older brother,
and I couldn't think of another present.
Yeon Hwa, please understand.
I understand what you're saying.
She even has the consideration
of the Crown Prince.
She is always very lucky.
Thank you, Crown Prince.
You saw me at my worst state.
This is the least I could do to help.
I haven't told anyone about it.
I know. I trust you.
Will you help me in the future
when I need it?
Of course, I will help you
as much as I possibly can.
- Wow!
- Do you like it?
I really like it.
Wow, isn't this jade?
It is very heavy.
It's expensive.
Wow, a slingshot.
This is from me, Eun.
Oh!
Wow, isn't this a book? A book!
A book?
Who would read this?
Why did you bring it?
I'll shoot you with this slingshot.
This is very precious.
I like this the best.
Your Highness.
Your Highness.
What are you? The Grim Reaper?
She's the daughter of
Grand General Park, Soon Deok.
You don't know her?
Soon Deok!
- Oh my gosh!
- This fur
it's for you.
Was it you who scared me
every year with bear fur?
Why would you do such a thing to me?
Your Highness! That's not it.
That's not it.
How could there be
someone so frustrating?
You're here, Your Highness.
How am I alone?
Why are you alone again?
We should all be together
on a day like today.
You should go.
It doesn't suit me
to be in a noisy place.
Hey, are your siblings
your siblings for no reason?
You have to congratulate them
on days like this.
Let's get going.
Let's go.
I don't want to be a bother.
Hurry. Come on.
Come on, So.
So, what did So give you?
Oh, it's fine.
I'm surprised our
4th brother came at all.
That's too bad.
There is a unique gift that
only So could ever give you.
What a waste.
Is there something like that?
What? He wouldn't
give me a gift like that.
Soo!
You're close to our 4th brother.
Can you help me get my gift?
How good of a gift do you want?
He won't give it up so easily.
It would be good to join together.
Soo, please. Come on, Soo!
All right, all right.
Come on. Hurry up.
Where have you been?
We were all giving Eun his presents.
I wasn't able to prepare anything.
Tell me if there's anything you want.
Will you really give me anything?
Of course! Would the 4th Prince
go back on his word?
He would get it for you even if it were
something precious
and hard to find, right?
Yes, make sure to choose
something just like that.
I'll make sure to find it for you.
You really promise?
I said yes.
Then show me your face
without the mask!
I've only heard things,
but I've been very curious.
We're brothers, not strangers.
Is there any reason to hide?
I really want to see how bad it is
that you are always hiding it.
Prince Eun, wait--
How dare a court lady get involved?
Just ignore them.
Must you see it?
- So.
- That's enough.
Eun, you should feel shame
for wanting something like that.
He said he'd give me what I wanted.
Hae Soo, you said so too.
You said Wang So would give me this gift.
What? That's not what I meant.
Forget it.
So!
Apologize to So right away.
You made a big mistake.
You told me to ask for it.
Now look at what has happened!
I didn't say anything wrong.
I told you it would be a gift
you wouldn't forget.
It may be a joke to all of you.
That's not how it is for So.
If he hates it so much,
he didn't have to take off the mask.
He has too much pride.
Every person has a weak spot.
Why is it that you are always
poking at people's weak spots?
I am?
So, when I pointed out that your
in-laws household was far too lowly
and asked you what nerve you had
to continue to stay as Crown Prince
you must have felt offended.
You speak such words so carelessly.
Should I teach you a lesson
about why you should not?
Your Highness!
Wait! Wait!
Was it not enough?
Why? Do they want to
play more jokes on me?
That's not what happened.
You're mistaken.
Don't leave.
If you leave like this
the 10th Prince loses his
chance to apologize.
You will all grow apart.
You're brothers, right?
Your Highness
Look at me.
Look at me properly.
Your eyes
That look in your eyes
I hate it like crazy.
[Scarlet Heart: Ryeo]
This is happening because a court lady
is too close with the princes.
Distance yourself from the princes.
You can't live forever wearing that mask.
Whether I like it or not, I have
to reveal my scar in order to live.
What if it's not a scar,
but a pain in the heart?
Your arrogance knows no bounds.
What did I do so wrong?
If it rains after the rain ritual
I'm going to ask the king
to let you leave.
I truly hope it rains.
Don't ask to play with me again.
Don't look for me!
Heaven's will? Yeah right.
You'll become king if it rains.
You need to become confident on your own.
I came for my seat.
[Episode 7]
Though you were once
to be the king's woman
you are merely a court lady here.
Yes, I understand.
I will do my best to adjust quickly.
Do you know how to serve tea?
Do you know how to differentiate herbs
or how to apply makeup?
That happens to be what I'm best at.
I'm licensed in skincare and
know how to apply makeup well.
I can hand-make my own makeup, as well.
I think that Damiwon
will suit me very well.
You know how to read
and write, don't you?
No.
You really don't know?
You're still here?
I was very curious about this place.
I think I'll be fine here.
They are all things I'm very good at.
Ah, did you know I was
good at applying makeup?
You didn't, did you?
Regardless, I'll be living at
the palace, so come visit often.
Oh, I forgot.
You were very startled
because of me, weren't you?
I never even got to thank you.
Still, isn't it a relief that I
didn't have to marry the king?
You could have died.
If the cut were a little deeper,
you would have died.
I didn't die.
Did you think about what it's like
to live with a scar on your body?
Are you happy to be a court lady?
You may never be able to step foot
outside this palace ever again.
Are you excited?
Why did you have to go so far?
Why didn't you just marry the king then?
I don't know! I just don't!
"If you can't do anything, just close
your eyes and enter the king's room."
That's what I told myself.
I just couldn't do it.
No one can save me but myself.
That's what I thought
and that's why I did it.
Once I came to
this happened.
You stupid girl.
Don't do this again.
I won't ever forgive you.
Where is this place?
It's a lake called Dongji.
It's the first place
the sun rises in the palace.
What kind of place is the palace?
A place that's hard to enter
and even harder to leave.
You end up dying if you trust anyone.
You'll live if you remain alert
and wary of those closest to you.
It is a place like that.
Well then it seems like you
don't know everything either.
Everyone here is alone.
That is one thing I know for certain.
I am not alone, so I'm all right.
You're not alone?
You're here, Your Highness.
How am I alone?
You'll be in trouble if you
become more reckless like that.
Everyone who lives here is a person too.
So, I will be able to get through it.
I suppose you will.
Now that a noisy thing like you is here,
I suppose the palace won't be boring.
- Brother
- Yes?
Our mother's family will soon look
to arrange another marriage.
One political marriage is more than enough
So then should we all just die?
Or just like before,
should we be thrown out by the Yoos of Chungju again,
move around all over the place
and be pushed further and further north?
Yeon Hwa, I have forgotten about everything.
Mother too.
No - so should you.
Just look at 3rd Prince.
He married the daughter of minister Park Gyung Gu.
It's a scheme to vie for the throne
by holding the power of Later Baekje in his hands.
If the Chungju Yoo clan pushes out the Crown Prince and takes control,
it is evident what our situation will be.
We'll either all die or be thrown out.
And yet you want me to forget?
How?
What about you?
I thought you had feelings for the 4th Prince.
Even if it isn't the 4th Prince,
whoever it may be that provides a road to the throne,
that is the person for whom I will have feelings.
Whether it's an arranged marriage or even if I'm sold off,
I will not enter into a marriage that will not be helpful to you
Yeon Hwa,
Can't you now just be at peace?
There is only one path for me to live peacefully.
Become the king, Brother.
Due to my illness
I missed the morning assembly again
There are surely many complaints to dethrone me
Everyone is living with an illness
Don't blame yourself too much
[Crown Prince Moo]
I feel like a burden with this illness
Standing in a position that does not belong to me
Greedy for the throne
I've told you clearly.
Your Highness was born under the star of a king
Why would I fool everyone in Goryeo?
So please, just focus on your illness
Grand General.
All right, you can rest.
- You've all been well, right?
- Yes.
All right. Good.
Wow! It is still a brilliant place.
You refused to give that to your father.
How can you be so unreasonable?
This is for someone else.
Everything good and delicious
should be for your father.
[Grand General Park Soo Kyung]
Your subject Park Soo Kyung
has come to see you, Your Majesty.
[King Taejo]
Have you arrived, Grand General?
I should have washed up before coming.
I apologize, Your Majesty.
You could not come to the capital
and I left my lacking son in your care.
I feel very badly for that.
The 4th Prince is very talented,
so I enjoyed teaching him martial arts.
If it were not for the scar on his face
he would not be lacking
as a Crown Prince.
Then, are you saying the Crown Prince
is lacking in his martial arts skills?
Prince Wang Moo is far too gentle
compared to the strength of his fists.
I wonder how much
he would have had to fight
in the political world of the palace.
I think the war zone might be better off.
Still, there are many things
to be learned while in the palace.
What? What are they?
Some tact and sense.
Then, is that what Prince Wang So
has been learning here?
Tact and sense.
- Gosh, you are ignorant.
- Just leave.
Crown Prince, you gave me a horse previously.
What will you give this time?
Just try to win.
I will give you any trinkets you want.
You promised.
Jung, come at me, then.
I don't know about anyone else,
but I will beat you, 10th brother!
I cannot lose today.
Jung, don't use too much strength.
- Let us be off, my brothers!
- Hold on. Wait.
Thirdly, if you place the objects
on the water's surface
Oh my. Would you look at that?
I hear you're burying yourself in books
rather than practicing
your military skills.
I think I've learned enough of the
martial arts from you, Grand General.
I should fill up my brain now.
You killed multiple men in one day
and set them all on fire.
They all deserved to die.
It seems like you've read
many books in all this time.
You now have the ability to determine
who deserves to die and who doesn't.
No matter how many times
you die and are reborn
you will eventually have to
pay for what you've done.
It was you who taught me how to kill.
I taught you how to kill only
in order to protect someone.
I stopped trouble in the royal family,
so I protected the nation.
What is the real reason
you want to live in Songak?
If you go back to Shinju now,
you will be able to control that family.
I am a prince too.
I should know how the royal family works.
What does it mean to be king that
Mother and my siblings are so persistent?
Then, will you return once you
are done observing them?
Must I return?
The prince that remains
living in Songak
there is only one.
The one who will sit on the throne.
Please think carefully.
What is the real reason
you want to live in Songak?
How is your headache?
It does feel a bit better since
I had the chrysanthemum tea.
However, it is still there.
[Queen Hwangbo]
It does not get better,
though 10 days have passed.
I should not have high expectations.
I will add some more herbs to the pouch.
There is nothing as good for headaches
as chrysanthemum.
Thank you.
How are you doing, Soo?
Are you adjusting well?
You were a noble and
now you're in the palace.
Nothing must be easy. How is it?
It is not hard. I'm doing well.
Ah, I will make you more soaps if you
enjoyed what I made you last time.
I can apply makeup for you, as well.
I think some of the makeup has streaked.
You are not ready to step in.
Do not get in the way and step outside.
Yes.
Now that I think about it,
she suits the Damiwon well.
The soaps she made were very nice.
I will watch over her closely.
How are you, by the way?
Is Queen Yoo treating you
poorly as usual?
It does not bother me.
You do not need to worry.
Your stomach pains are like my headaches.
That's why I bring this up.
We both have these chronic pains
because of the same thing.
I should at least worry about you.
You need to go see the doctor.
I know the doctor is for royals,
but if it were for you
Thank you for your great blessings.
Ice, ice, ice!
I feel like there are insects on my body!
Ice! Get me ice now!
Ice! Ice!
Ice!
The doctor! Bring the doctor!
My body is being torn apart.
There are insects all over my body.
That looks like atopic eczema.
No, you can't do that!
- You can't do that!
- Move!
You can't use cold water.
What do you know?
Doesn't it itch more when you
eat beans or cold food?
Also, when you're tired and sweaty.
You can't use blankets with down.
How do you know that?
Please trust me.
Use warm water to wash.
Cold water will make it itch more.
Do you have any cold leaves, by chance?
Aloe, green tea oh, peppermint leaves!
Get the temperature right first.
The peppermint leaves will
help with the itching.
What do you think you're doing?
All of you, get out!
Get out!
My mother had the same illness
so I've seen it for a long time.
If he sits in a bath
This is not a place for you.
Court Lady Oh.
Crown Prince! Are you all right?
Please breathe and calm down.
Stay calm.
"Sage of Tea."
It is a book written by medical expert
Lu Yu from the Tang Dynasty.
"Newly Revised
Materia Medica: Tang Edition."
It's a medical book on
the use of over 100 medicines.
"Supplement to Materia Medica."
It is a book about many medicinal plants
by Chen Cang Qi from the Tang Dynasty.
It's a record of the use of plants.
If you had read all of these books,
you would not have made today's mistakes.
How could you dare to
touch the Crown Prince?
He was suffering so much.
I knew how to help him.
I couldn't stand idly by.
How did you know that peppermint leaves
were good for itching of the skin?
You're illiterate so
you couldn't have read it.
My mother has the same illness,
so I've seen her use the treatments.
You must never speak of
the Crown Prince's illness.
You will not see the sunrise
tomorrow if you do.
Do you understand?
Yes.
Drink up.
Drink.
You drink up too.
Wow.
I don't want to do this.
It's not like I'm an ox or something.
I thought nobles were treated
differently even as court ladies.
This is very different, indeed.
- Should I just run away?
- Run?
Where in Goryeo do you think
you can hide from the king?
Who who said I was
really going to run?
I was only saying that
it would be nice to.
You're a court lady of Damiwon,
yet you act like a royal court minister.
You don't use your hands or your body.
You're always using that head of yours.
No matter how I look at it,
this place doesn't suit me.
No one recognizes my talent.
I am overflowing with talent.
Have you ever demonstrated your talent?
Even with the Crown Prince,
I was correct about everything but
Anyhow, you need a good boss in order
to get recognition in the workplace.
It's not going to work out this time.
You don't happen to know about the
Crown Prince's illness, do you?
Huh? What?
I've never heard of that.
Watch what you say.
This time it won't end with
just being sent to the Damiwon.
You know too, Your Highness.
But the atopic I mean, itchy skin.
It won't get better just by making
a fuss as if he's going to die.
He just needs to take care
of himself and eat well.
Do you think Court Lady Oh is
trying to keep me in check?
Because the Crown Prince might favor me.
What if you had made the
Crown Prince worse?
You'd already be dead.
You should know she let you off easy.
Maybe you're right.
Just by seeing how you water trees
you're not overflowing with,
but actually lacking talent.
Very much lacking.
Whenever you are growing something,
you have to give it a name.
You must make friends with it.
Why would I name a tree?
I'm even confused about my name.
Oh, that pine tree means "the best."
That one can be named Best.
And this mulberry tree,
the fruits make one pass gas.
Fartie?
Are you making fun of me right now?
When I was in Shinju,
I named a white birch tree Pat Pat.
Three men could hang from it
and it would not budge.
Goodness, your friend
must be very famous.
I burned it down myself a few years ago.
It's gone now.
What?
It was cold and the
wolves were gathering.
It happened to catch my eye.
Forget it. Why am I saying this to you?
Don't think about running.
Stay faithful to what
you've decided to do.
Got it?
You should work for your living.
I thought he was being
too good to me lately.
[10th Prince Eun]
Soo, how long do I
have to stay like this?
Wait a little longer.
Soo.
My fingers are tingling and
it feels like there are insects.
Gosh, just sit there and be patient.
They say if the snapweed is left
until the first snow falls
your first love will come to you.
Really?
First love, you say.
It's a cold day
Chun Il
Chun Il what is this again?
"Bong" as in the peak.
"Chun Il Bong Hwa."
It means that flowers have bloomed
on a warm spring day.
What is all of this?
It's my homework.
I didn't know how to read,
so I used the wrong herb.
You don't know how to read?
Well
Honestly, I haven't been
able to read since I hurt my head.
Then, how did you read that poem
I gave you before?
Myung Hee read it to me.
The green willow tree is by the water.
It was that poem.
I have so much to repay to Lady Hae.
What?
You are so hard to meet.
I was going to write you a letter.
You cannot read, so now what?
Don't worry.
I'll be able to read it all soon.
Soo.
Draw it down like this.
It's the Amur Adonis plant.
It's a medicinal plant that helps if
used well, but can also be poisonous.
I see.
This
What is this character?
My name.
Wook.
It means the sun rising in the morning.
The sun rising in the morning, Wook.
The color red protects you
from misfortune.
It also symbolizes a joyful relationship.
Can you promise me?
That you will never take it off.
I will do whatever it takes to
return you to where you belong.
So
please wait.
I know how you feel.
There's no need for you to rush.
I am doing fine here.
Wang
Wook.
The morning sun, Wook.
Even hearing the word "wait"
can make me happy.
I like that person.
If I were with him
I think I would be okay being Hae Soo
instead of Go Ha Jin.
You'll be able to live well.
Hae Soo.
Hey, kids.
Thank you.
- Don't eat too fast.
- Yes, sir.
What do you think you're doing?
Do we look like pigs to you?
What?
We may have lost to Goryeo and we
may be suffering because of the drought.
But we are still human beings.
Do not dare to think
you can look down on us.
That's not it
I only wanted to show what
the drought was doing to the people.
It's not enough for Goryeo aristocrats
to live in luxury.
I hear they keep dirty
and low things as art.
You latch on to people like that.
And you make a mockery
of the suffering of the citizens.
You've sold out your pride
to the government.
You lowly insect.
Insect?
Hey! Hey, stop right there.
Your Highness.
General.
It's a relief that you look so well.
The Foreign Minister wishes
to see you, Your Highness.
Foreign Minister?
That betrayer Park Young Gyu has
become Foreign Minister already?
He's climbed up quite high.
All right, let's go.
This way.
Gosh, she misunderstands all on her own
and then disappears?
Was she a refugee?
All right, let's have a drink now.
Yes, Crown Prince.
Eun, you've grown one year older.
Let me pour you a drink.
Thank you for congratulating me.
Eun, we'll pour you a drink too.
Oh, sure.
What kind of alcohol is that?
Yeon Hwa.
You organized this gathering for us.
I don't know what will happen tonight.
It was more fun for me.
Once I marry and leave here,
I won't be able to do it for you at all.
Marry? What do you mean, you're marrying?
The king is looking into a powerful
family somewhere far away from Songak.
Not even a royal family,
but just a powerful family.
That's nonsense.
I suppose I'm not good enough
and no royal family wants me.
Let's talk about this later with Mother.
One more drink. Drink it all.
Wait, why?
Why is it that I'm the
only one with a cup?
That can't be possible.
You'll have to drink this too.
Wait. Those people
Isn't this a different drink?
- Oh my!
- You drink so well!
What a great night.
I'll get going now.
One more. Here you go.
Drink it down.
What important thing did you
need to talk to me about?
[3rd Prince Yo]
You just be mine.
- What?
- You could the Queen of Goryeo.
But the lady of a powerful household?
I can't bear to see that.
Then, how high do your dreams go?
My dreams?
You want to argue that
even in your desperate situation.
My dream
is Goryeo.
You are very fearless.
I know you want Wook on the throne.
Even if your brother becomes king,
you are still only a princess.
If your husband is a king,
that changes things.
However, I would not be a first wife,
so I cannot be a queen.
Can you give up your
past marriage for me?
I don't give up what is mine
in order to gain a girl.
Let go.
Do you have another choice besides me?
Don't you get tired of it?
Living like a shameful coward.
You should be getting tired of it by now.
You're very persistent.
I see you're still butting into
things you shouldn't be.
We'll talk later.
Thank you.
And please don't tell Wook about this.
Take Wang Yo off of your mind.
You won't be able to get
what you want out of him.
It is a foolish calculation.
If you're going to give me that warning,
show me a better option.
Do you have interest in
being considered by me?
Lady Oh, I've finished everything
you've instructed me to do.
Get going now.
I'm letting you go because the
Crown Prince specifically asked for you.
- Do you understand?
- Yes.
I know my way home.
Your Highness!
It's you, Hae Soo!
Why do you look so pretty today?
I can see two and three of you.
There's Hae Soo everywhere!
Oh no
Hold on and follow me.
Where are you going?
Where is everyone?
Baek Ah, did everyone go off
to hang out without telling us?
That would be a relief.
I'm worried they're off causing trouble.
Please move out of the way.
What what are you?
Aren't you Soon Deok? Park Soon Deok?
Do you know this bear?
This is Grand General Park's
daughter, Soon Deok.
Daughter?
Wow.
Wow!
Isn't this me?
It is.
Soo, you made all of this?
Your Highness.
Thank you for becoming
my first friend in Goryeo.
After Myung Hee passed away,
I was comforted thanks to you.
So, I wanted to give you a special gift.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you.
To my friend, the 10th Prince.
Happy birthday to you.
Why were you born?
Why were you born?
You are so ugly. Why were you born?
Why were you born?
Why were you born?
Why were you born?
You are so ugly. Why were you born?
Wow! Eun, you're enjoying this
all by yourself?
- I'm hurt.
- What are you all doing here?
Soo, are you going to
sing for my birthday?
Baek Ah is right.
You were going to keep this to yourself?
You can't exclude me.
I was the one who asked
Court Lady Oh to send Hae Soo.
You know, you're better than a gisaeng.
Hey, now
I meant that she's good.
Soo, can you sing for us too?
No, she can't.
Yeah, sing.
- Please sing.
- Sing just once.
She can't!
Why are you ruining my present?
- Please sing, Soo.
- Sing, Soo.
- Yes, go on.
- No! Everyone leave!
Why are you all disrupting my gift?
Seriously!
Even in the midst
of a harsh, biting wind
Do you still smile because of the handful of sunshine?
Even among the heartless people
that pass you by in a hurry,
Do you still smile because of the handful of friends you have?
If you ever find a place where there is no loneliness,
Please take me there with you.
My friend, my dear friend
You should get along like this, always.
Who cares if you don't become the king?
Don't forget this moment, right now.
Okay?
Wow!
Wow, Soo!
Soo, you are awesome.
I'm looking forward to my presents.
You should look forward to them.
- Be careful.
- They're cute, aren't they?
- You can leave now.
- Excuse me?
You've made the 10th Prince happy,
so you did your job as a court lady.
Good work.
I didn't do it because I'm a court lady.
Before I was a court lady,
Eun and I were--
You're not about to say that
you were friends, are you?
A prince, friends with a court lady?
How ridiculous would Eun look?
I'm supervising the party,
so I'll take care of it.
You've helped out enough, so run along.
I told you to go.
You are the same
as always, Your Highness.
You look at status before
looking at the person.
You haven't changed
since you hit Chae Ryung.
Would I have any reason to change?
I'm being generous with you
because of Myung Hee.
You should know your place.
I said it was all right.
Crown Prince.
Eun enjoys spending time with Hae Soo,
so I allowed it as a gift to him.
I'm not a very good older brother,
and I couldn't think of another present.
Yeon Hwa, please understand.
I understand what you're saying.
She even has the consideration
of the Crown Prince.
She is always very lucky.
Thank you, Crown Prince.
You saw me at my worst state.
This is the least I could do to help.
I haven't told anyone about it.
I know. I trust you.
Will you help me in the future
when I need it?
Of course, I will help you
as much as I possibly can.
- Wow!
- Do you like it?
I really like it.
Wow, isn't this jade?
It is very heavy.
It's expensive.
Wow, a slingshot.
This is from me, Eun.
Oh!
Wow, isn't this a book? A book!
A book?
Who would read this?
Why did you bring it?
I'll shoot you with this slingshot.
This is very precious.
I like this the best.
Your Highness.
Your Highness.
What are you? The Grim Reaper?
She's the daughter of
Grand General Park, Soon Deok.
You don't know her?
Soon Deok!
- Oh my gosh!
- This fur
it's for you.
Was it you who scared me
every year with bear fur?
Why would you do such a thing to me?
Your Highness! That's not it.
That's not it.
How could there be
someone so frustrating?
You're here, Your Highness.
How am I alone?
Why are you alone again?
We should all be together
on a day like today.
You should go.
It doesn't suit me
to be in a noisy place.
Hey, are your siblings
your siblings for no reason?
You have to congratulate them
on days like this.
Let's get going.
Let's go.
I don't want to be a bother.
Hurry. Come on.
Come on, So.
So, what did So give you?
Oh, it's fine.
I'm surprised our
4th brother came at all.
That's too bad.
There is a unique gift that
only So could ever give you.
What a waste.
Is there something like that?
What? He wouldn't
give me a gift like that.
Soo!
You're close to our 4th brother.
Can you help me get my gift?
How good of a gift do you want?
He won't give it up so easily.
It would be good to join together.
Soo, please. Come on, Soo!
All right, all right.
Come on. Hurry up.
Where have you been?
We were all giving Eun his presents.
I wasn't able to prepare anything.
Tell me if there's anything you want.
Will you really give me anything?
Of course! Would the 4th Prince
go back on his word?
He would get it for you even if it were
something precious
and hard to find, right?
Yes, make sure to choose
something just like that.
I'll make sure to find it for you.
You really promise?
I said yes.
Then show me your face
without the mask!
I've only heard things,
but I've been very curious.
We're brothers, not strangers.
Is there any reason to hide?
I really want to see how bad it is
that you are always hiding it.
Prince Eun, wait--
How dare a court lady get involved?
Just ignore them.
Must you see it?
- So.
- That's enough.
Eun, you should feel shame
for wanting something like that.
He said he'd give me what I wanted.
Hae Soo, you said so too.
You said Wang So would give me this gift.
What? That's not what I meant.
Forget it.
So!
Apologize to So right away.
You made a big mistake.
You told me to ask for it.
Now look at what has happened!
I didn't say anything wrong.
I told you it would be a gift
you wouldn't forget.
It may be a joke to all of you.
That's not how it is for So.
If he hates it so much,
he didn't have to take off the mask.
He has too much pride.
Every person has a weak spot.
Why is it that you are always
poking at people's weak spots?
I am?
So, when I pointed out that your
in-laws household was far too lowly
and asked you what nerve you had
to continue to stay as Crown Prince
you must have felt offended.
You speak such words so carelessly.
Should I teach you a lesson
about why you should not?
Your Highness!
Wait! Wait!
Was it not enough?
Why? Do they want to
play more jokes on me?
That's not what happened.
You're mistaken.
Don't leave.
If you leave like this
the 10th Prince loses his
chance to apologize.
You will all grow apart.
You're brothers, right?
Your Highness
Look at me.
Look at me properly.
Your eyes
That look in your eyes
I hate it like crazy.
[Scarlet Heart: Ryeo]
This is happening because a court lady
is too close with the princes.
Distance yourself from the princes.
You can't live forever wearing that mask.
Whether I like it or not, I have
to reveal my scar in order to live.

Don't ask to play with me again.
Don't look for me!
Heaven's will? Yeah right.
You'll become king if it rains.
You need to become confident on your own.
I came for my seat.
