ALL CHARACTERS AND EVENTS
ARE FICTITIOUS
FILMING OF CHILD ACTORS DONE
UNDER BROADCASTING GUIDELINES
Trip to Uiju? That is out of the blue.
Once you become the grand proprietor,
will things be different at Yongcheonru?
Did something occur
between you and Father?
"The disagreeable quartet", was it?
The nickname for you and your friends
at Gyohwa Hall.
- Lady Seol--
- You have an admirable friendship.
Know that good friends must be valued.
You sound like someone
who will never return.
You are not like Grand Proprietor Cheon.
I know that.
I have a favor to ask.
I believe you know
Hong Deok-su is a woman.
If something happens while I am gone,
please keep her safe on my behalf.
Get them.
I will not accept failure.
Yes, my lord.
There are two of them. Find them!
Eun-ho.
What are you doing here?
Find them!
Over there.
Get them!
Run.
Come on.
Damn it.
Should we halt the banquet
and start searching?
This is a royal event.
Keep it as quiet as possible.
- Go that way.
- Yes, my lord.
Come on.
Who are you really?
Find them quickly!
Deok-su…
- What are you doing?
- Stay still.
Let's go.
Let's go.
You were a woman.
Have you been hiding
your identity as a woman?
Hong Deok-su, how could you of all people…
Why?
Why, after all this time?
I am sorry I kept it from you.
All this time, I…
I wish you had stayed a man.
So what?
It changes nothing.
I am still Hong Deok-su.
No.
You are Hong Jae-on.
What?
How do you know my name?
Give me the brass key.
- We do not have time for this.
- No.
That was originally mine.
I also need the brass key.
You…
- What--
- You just need to show me once.
Why are you on my case?
What is it?
Could there be something you are hiding?
Tell me what this is.
What could this be
that had you run down here
the second you gained consciousness?
So that is why you approached me.
Your father's safe
that can only be opened with this key…
I need the ledger from that safe.
Who are you?
Grand Proprietor Cheon
has my family on a leash.
How is your family connected
to Lord Cheon?
That…
I cannot disclose that at this moment.
You have approached me
because of the brass key.
You were also going to steal mine, right?
You had to pretend to be a man
for a reason.
I, also,
have my reasons.
Once I locate the safe
and secure the ledger,
I will tell you everything.
Su-ra, have you seen Deok-su?
Deok-su?
I think I did earlier.
He and Eun-ho
were urgently going somewhere.
With Eun-ho?
Well, I only saw them in passing.
Where could he have gone?
We would like to switch masks.
To which ones?
Eun-ho, do you mean what you said?
I do.
What about you, Deok-su?
Do you not desperately want the brass key?
Then, let us work together.
What?
Let us find the safe together.
Thank you.
First, hand me that piece.
Think wisely, Deok-su.
You will significantly benefit
from having me in your corner.
There you are.
The banquet is almost over.
We should head back down.
Right, of course.
I should go and clean up.
Deok-su, wait.
Yes?
What happened to your hair? Let me--
What…
What about my hair?
What did you do? Your hair is a mess.
I will take care of it.
He said you should leave it be.
Now that the banquet is over,
only the engagement ceremony remains.
Are you not excited for tomorrow?
I cannot say,
for today is still yet to be over.
I will head back first.
I am afraid this will not work.
Pardon? I do not follow, my lady.
Tonight, you will be Prince Muyeong.
I mean, what do you mean?
Go and tell your master…
that I will not marry a coward
who sent his servant to meet me
in his stead.
Forgive me, my lord.
Too many people were
in similar masks tonight.
Deok-su.
Where have you been?
Well, I…
These are yours, no?
I found them on the ground.
- Thanks.
- Gosh.
What have you been up to
that you are being so clumsy?
Tell me about it.
I should go. Night, Su-ra.
I cannot say,
for today is still yet to be over.
Forgive me.
Finally, it is the actual you.
Tomorrow,
our engagement will not happen.
How could I make up for your troubles?
This will humiliate my uncle and aunt,
so I am practically compensated already.
However, will you be able
to handle the repercussions?
I will handle the Minister of War
since I am responsible for this.
You…
may go wherever you please.
I will not express my gratitude.
Take care.
Yeo, hui, hyang, wi, and bae.
Yeo, hyang, bae.
Hui, and wi.
So there were five letters in total.
The fake brass key
did not have any engraved letters.
What could this mean, though?
They were engraved by your father.
Does nothing come to mind?
Hyang, wi, bae?
All clerks, get out of your rooms.
Assemble!
Lord Cheon is making his move.
Stay here. I will run interference.
No.
Let me go instead.
Fan out and search every room.
- Yes, my lord!
- Yes, my lord!
Search!
- Out.
- Leave the room.
- Get out!
- What?
- Move it!
- Stand over there.
Search thoroughly!
Should we be subjected to this mayhem
at this late hour?
My gosh. This is bad.
Attention.
The most unfortunate incident
took place
while guests were enjoying the banquet.
Yongcheonru was robbed by thieves.
Thieves? What were they after?
You will all cooperate
with tonight's random inspection.
Goodness, no. These are valuable books.
They are extremely rare.
Have you been reading these by yourself
without telling me?
You pervert.
You read them too, Myeong-ho--
I found a mask!
Everyone who attended the banquet
wore a mask.
Eun-ho, stop.
This is the place, so search thoroughly.
- Yes, my lord.
- Yes, my lord.
What on earth…
It was you, Hong Deok-su, was it not?
I do not follow.
The one in the mask who evaded the guards.
I am asking if it was you!
What…
What do you think you are doing?
Please let go of me.
Come with me, Hong Deok-su.
What is going on?
Why is Director Cho taking Hong Deok-su?
Eun-ho, do you know what is going on?
Nothing will happen to him.
Grand Proprietor Cheon knows
that I am Hong Jae-on.
What?
I am pretty sure he also knows
I possess a piece of the brass key.
It will be wiser for me
to make the first move.
This is the only way
to secure the brass key.
What is this about, Lord Cheon?
I have been robbed.
Pardon?
So that is why Director Cho…
That is the only item of my father's
that I have left.
I know.
Jae-on.
I have wronged you.
What do you mean?
This brass key, in fact,
is made up of two pieces
that combine to become one.
Your father entrusted me with one of them
and gave you the other piece
when you were a little girl.
But the thief who robbed me earlier
took the piece that I had.
I am sorry.
Pardon?
It was my intention to keep it safe
until I was able
to return it to you someday.
But unfortunately, I lost it
as soon as I was reunited with you.
I promise to apprehend this thief
and return it to you safely.
Do you have any idea
as to who the thief could be?
Who else could be after
what your father once possessed?
Of course, it must be Seol Mae-hwa.
You told me that yourself, Jae-on.
There is no need for you to worry.
I will take care of it.
You out there.
Halt.
Yes, Lady Seol?
Rather than Muak Pass,
let's cross Ssari Pass.
Over Muak Pass
is the shortest way to Uiju.
I do not wish to pass roads
bustling with people.
As you wish, Lady Seol.
Make a turn. We will cross Ssari Pass.
Your Majesty, it is your bodyguard.
The engagement has been canceled?
Prince Muyeong canceled it himself?
The details are in the report,
Your Majesty.
Is there any other news?
Last night, a thief broke into
Grand Proprietor Cheon's residence.
- A thief?
- He must have lost something of value,
given Yongcheonru was searched all night.
However, he failed to apprehend the thief.
Is that so?
Prince Muyeong…
What on earth? Why is it so quiet?
Is it not the engagement today?
I mean, where are the flowers,
lanterns, and whatnot?
I am just as baffled.
Is Grand Proprietor Cheon being stingy?
This is all because
you are mellow and lack charisma.
My gosh.
I guess I am like that.
Should I assert my authority?
I am off to Dohwa Hall for a facial.
Make sure Do-gyeong
does not act out today.
Goodness me.
Do-gyeong.
She is not here.
What?
Lady Do-gyeong is gone,
and Prince Muyeong helped her run.
Prince Muyeong?
That brat.
It would have benefited us all
had they ended up married.
Is His Majesty also aware of this?
I am sure they secretly wanted
this marriage to be called off.
It will now be impossible
to stop Prince Muyeong
with such shortsighted schemes.
At this rate,
he will be the biggest obstacle
standing in Prince Seonyang's way.
He made an utter fool out of me.
Well, for that he will pay.
It was the same 12 years ago.
You put your foot down
for the sake of this nation.
It is time for you to make a decision
for the sake of this nation
and Prince Eunseong.
No one will benefit
from you dragging this out.
Your Majesty!
- Your Majesty!
- Your Majesty!
- Your Majesty!
- Your Majesty!
You already did it once.
Doing it again will not be a challenge.
In fact, it will be easier.
These are the clerks' quarters,
so it is off-limits.
If you are lost,
allow me to show you the way.
Are you Ko Su-ra?
Yes, that is me.
You have not paid the interest
since last month. We came to notify you.
Fail to pay it next month,
and he will pay a visit to Namhae.
Your mother and baby sister
are doing well, right?
Not them!
Of course they should stay safe.
Do you get my drift?
Su-ra, is something troubling you?
Of course not.
Prince Muyeong made us do
unnecessary work, that is all.
He had us throw a grand banquet
only to call off the engagement.
Tell me about it.
How will he handle the repercussions?
Nothing should be forced upon you
against your will.
Is Deok-su still not here?
He will be here soon.
Speak of the devil.
Are you all right? You seem pale.
What?
Well, I am all right.
Let us clean up.
Why do you keep following me around?
Clean up over there instead.
Are you suspecting me?
We are a pair, are we not? And roommates.
Anyway, pairs should stick together.
Tonight, we will search my old residence.
- The house you used to live in?
- Yes.
Now that we have the combined brass key,
we must find the safe.
No.
If the safe had been hidden there,
Lord Cheon would have found it already.
Even if it is not there,
we will at least find a clue.
We must always start
at where it all began.
Moving as a pair will only draw attention,
so meet me there at midnight.
Sure.
Now, get going.
You must have been a clerk for a year
to qualify for the loan.
Still, thank you for looking into it.
I will tell Grand Proprietor Cheon
and find another way.
It is all right.
An employee loan?
You must have money problems.
Why are your friends
not helping you with this?
Do not look glum.
You are not the only one
from a penniless family.
How much do you need?
Tell me.
I, Kim Myeong-ho, could give you a loan.
You could?
Of course.
Only if
you agree to crawl beneath me.
You want me to be one of your goons?
No, I meant it literally.
Crawl beneath me.
Crawl between my legs.
One nyang per lap.
What do you say?
You vile dog.
What? Did you just call me a dog?
Take care!
Did something happen
between you and Deok-su?
As in what?
You were together all day.
As you know, he is a friend
who requires attention.
"Friend"?
Maybe not "just a friend."
Did you break off your engagement
because of Hong Deok-su?
Your Highness?
Jun-hwa--
Yes, I have known all along.
How long are you going to stay
at Yongcheonru as someone else?
Is it not time
to return to your rightful position?
I, too, hid my identity
as Grand Proprietor Cheon's son…
so maybe we should call it even
and move on.
Nothing will change between us.
Then,
what about Hong Deok-su?
What is your reason for asking?
I have feelings for this woman.
I fell for her at first sight.
I have never felt this way
about anyone before.
The woman you harbor feelings for…
It is her.
Were you aware
that she was a woman?
Deok-su told me last night.
Deok-su told you herself?
So? Are you in love with her?
Why now, though?
You were not interested before,
but now that you know she is a woman…
you have developed feelings for her?
It is none of your business.
Does Deok-su know
that you are actually Prince Muyeong?
Return to your position
before she finds out.
- Enough.
- You live in a different world.
If you truly wish her happiness,
please let her go.
GEUMUI CHAMBER RESERVATION LOG
NAMHAE
Ko Su-ra of Namhae Guild.
Yes, my lord.
I heard about your family.
Namhae Guild,
known for its honesty and credibility,
cannot shut down like this.
I will help your guild.
Thank you, Lord Cheon.
In return, will you help me?
An unfortunate incident occurred
at Yongcheonru last night.
I heard the place was robbed.
Did you, by any chance,
see Hong Deok-su and Lee Eun-ho
on the night of the banquet?
Be as honest as I would expect
from one of the Namhae Guild.
You told me to be honest.
May I ask why you need my honesty?
Honesty?
Actually, I need the desperation of one
who was less fortunate growing up.
Do you not need money?
Desperately?
Jun-hwa was blessed
with the people in his life.
He befriended the right people.
Cheon Jun-hwa is my son.
He will one day own
and manage Yongcheonru,
but he is too softhearted.
Will you assist him by his side?
What makes him falter
and what makes him vulnerable.
All you have to do
is report everything to me in detail.
If I do,
will you pay me an amount
that will allow me
never to be humiliated again
for lacking money?
Yes.
I give you my word.
Even if you change course,
you cannot evade the blade.
Is it Grand Proprietor Cheon's order?
Kill her!
Did you know that Prince Muyeong
would call off the engagement?
There is no way
of reading everyone clearly.
All I did was put him to the test.
Stubborn and rigid.
It must be cut off.
See?
It is a masterpiece.
By trimming and tightening branches
that do not fall in line
and taking the time to tame them,
I have created a masterpiece
that is to my liking.
Would you like to try it?
Bigger trees are tough to control.
It is much easier
to tame
saplings.
His Majesty has a young son.
As in Prince Seonyang?
What about Prince Muyeong?
To make a new bonsai tree…
You must shatter the pot
it was originally in.
That is how Prince Seonyang
will grow to be
your own little tree.
Prince Muyeong is not your friend.
Dump him.
Please allow me to have a few men, Father.
My goodness!
You and those facials.
Enough with them!
This is not the time for that.
What can I do
when they have already been done?
As if that is necessary
when the engagement has been canceled.
We should find Do-gyeong
and beat some sense into her!
My gosh, the humiliation!
Enough with that
and bring me my office robes.
Your office robes?
Are you heading to the palace?
I will go and grab the king by the collar
and get my answer.
A guest is waiting for you.
- What? A guest?
- Yes, my lord.
Why are you here?
To see how we are doing
after the engagement was canceled?
I am to blame for everything.
Your niece did nothing wrong,
and I ask for your understanding.
What are you playing at?
I will gather the meritorious subjects
and report this to His Majesty.
Minister!
Until when will you manipulate
the royal family?
Do not be disloyal
to His Majesty any further.
His Majesty had approved of
this engagement.
It started off as greed on your part.
Selling your niece out
for personal gain?
What… What has you acting this brazenly?
As my younger brother's
maternal grandfather,
I have tried to respect you.
However,
not anymore.
Have you lost your mind?
I will no longer overlook
your disloyalty and sins.
This is my warning,
so I suggest you heed my words.
I, Prince Muyeong,
shall be the next crown prince.
What?
Following my father's footsteps,
I will rectify the nation and royal court.
I order you to fall in line
as a loyal subject.
Why now, though?
You were not interested before,
but now that you know she is a woman,
you have developed feelings for her?
It is none of your business.
Flowers!
Is Eun-ho running late?
Who are you?
Who sent you?
Yeo.
Hyang.
Bae.
Hui and wi were on the other one.
Yeo, hui, hyang, wi, and bae.
What could that mean?
You lost track of him?
Forgive me, my lord.
Moving as a pair will only draw attention,
so meet me there at midnight.
These are…
Now, pick one.
Deok-su?
Deok-su…
No.
Deok-su.
No…
Eun-ho.
What took you so long?
- Deok-su!
- What…
Are you all right? Are you hurt?
What, this?
I am fine. It is only a minor cut.
Why is it…
that you drive me crazy like this?
I said I was fine.
What has your panties in a twist?
You are the one who made me worry
by running late.
Hey.
Eun-ho, are you all right?
Did something happen?
I am fine.
Nothing happened.
I do not buy that.
What is it? Did you think
I would run off with the brass key?
Do you think I am being like this
because of the key?
Then, why--
It is because of you, Hong Deok-su.
Eun-ho, watch out!
- It will be over once we find the safe.
- It will all be over soon.
I see you are quite strong, Deok-su.
I am the manly Hong Deok-su.
As if.
Whether you are Hong Deok-su
or Hong Jae-on,
you are the only one
I will hold in my heart.
Likewise.
I will protect you no matter what.
I will not let him steal her from me.
Hong Jae-on has always been meant
to be yours, Jun-hwa.
Hong Jae-on. Let us go.
I will get it back.
You will…
approve!
He kicked a mad dog fixated
on making his grandson the crown prince.
All that is left is for him to be bitten.
Deok-su!
Eun-ho, let go of that hand.
Do you not realize
that this could endanger Deok-su?
I shall protect my person.
