Hey, Persimmon,

why are you here?

Brother

[Episode 4]

What is the problem?

Is she sick or something?

Her body is cold and the complexion is not good.

We'd better hurry to see a doctor...

Ah..

Don't take this wrong.

To me, it is a kind of working uniform.

The work is not just like that...

I've been recently selling something

Perhaps do you know my sister?

Ah... nope.

Anyway I'm grateful for helping my sister.

Now I will take good care of my sister so you should make your own way.

Well.

That cold-hearted guy is her brother?

They look nothing alike.

Is the child alright? Her complexion looked not very good.

Eh, who is worrying about whom?

Mother?

Mother!

Poong Yeon!

Poong Yeon!

Yeon Hee!

Yeon Hee.

Yeon Hee! Yeon Hee!

Wake up! Yeon Hee!

What is the matter?

Father...

How come you did not listen to my words?

Father?

How come?

Why am I like this?

I am so scared.

Please save me, Father.

What is going on here?

I'm asking what the hell is going on here!

You said everything is going to be alright.

You said nothing will happen.

However, what is this?

Bring my son back right now!

Bring him back! Bring back!

Eunuch Park, take Queen Shim to her place.

Please calm down, Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Boo, open your eyes., please.

No!

Not the Prince Successor!

Never the Prince Successor!

Boo, wake up!

Please no!

Queen!

- Your Highness!- Queen!

Choi Hyun Soe

Mother!

Let go of me! Let go of me, you bastard!

Mother...

Ms. Son

I thought you were a quite brilliant child.

You don't seem to know yourself than I thought.

So I am going to let you know clearly about it.

What in the world are you going to do?

Stop that! Please stop that!

Let it begin!

No! No!

No! Can't you people stop that?

No! No!

No! Mother!

Mother! Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother! Ahh!

Mother! Mother! Ahh!

I was wrong...

It's all my fault so let the beating stop!

Please let it stop!

Please save my mother!

Please!

Stop.

I heard you are taking all the troubles to buy your mother's slave deed.

Jun

There is one delusion people have in their lives.

The delusion that you work hard and you will get out of this situation.

But there is one thing that you never escape from no matter how hard you struggle.

Do you know what that is?

That is parents.

Parents who have a lot would give their children many things.

But the thing that parents who have nothing can beqeath their children is

the only worm's life that has been made by them.

The life of parents will be inherited to the child of their own.

You should not have been born.

You shouldn't have been out in this world!

That should have been good all for both you and your mother.

However, who could be blamed?

You had better blame for your cursed life that was born by your mother.

Don't do anything!

Try not to escape. Try not to win and

just live as if you were dead.

That is the way you and your mother can survive.

Do you understand?

Yes.

Keep that in mind. If you didn't make out my words today,

next time you would find your mother inside.

Mother.

Let's get out of this house.

Poong Yeon!

How come you can't even swallow a dose of medicine?

Poong Yeon, please come to your senses!

Mother...

Poong Yeon. Are you awake now?

Are you okay?

Poong Yeon!

G-go away! Go away!

What's going on with you? What's wrong? Please.

Go away!

Poong Yeon. Look at me. Poong Yeon, please!

No! Go away!

Yeon Hee!

Yeon Hee!

Yeon Hee. Yeon Hee!

Yeon Hee's power cannot be controlled.

While releasing her power, she loses consciousness so we still can't transfer her.

The spell of the Black Forest is broken to pieces.

We need to quickly move Yeon Hee to Cheongbin Temple.

If we rashly move her,

and get noticed by Hong Joo, it would end everything.

But if we just leave it be, Yeon Hee, the Crown Prince, and Poong Yeon will all be in danger.

Yo Gwang might even be in danger.

So what do you want us to do? There's no other way.

Are you okay?

Don't worry too much. He will settle everything.

Once we go to Cheongbin Temple, everything will be back to the way they were.

Cheongbin Temple?

What kind of place is that?

Well...

I'll tell you once we get there so just wait a little bit.

Father probably hates me now, right?

What do you mean?

This happened because I didn't listen to him

so Father will probably hate me.

There's no way that would happen.

He thinks so preciously of you so how can you say that?

He's also having a hard time right now.

It's not just you but also Young Master Poong Yen is like that so...

What do you mean by that?

Did something happen to Brother?

I don't think this will do. Let's just go back.

Please, Master. Just let me see my brother's face for a bit.

If he finds out, you and I will be in trouble. This won't do.

But if I don't get to see my brother today, I don't know when I'll ever see him again.

Okay. You'll come out after seeing his face for a bit, okay?

There's not much time until these talismans give out.

Do you understand?

Carefully follow me.

Brother.

Why are you like this?

Please be strong, Brother.

Brother? Are you awake?

It's me, Yeon Hee.

Go away! Go away, foul creature!

Brother? Are you awake?

It's me, Yeon Hee.

Go away! Go away, foul creature!

Brother.

Please. Please.

Please don't appear in front me of me again.

Please! Please get lost!

I... I want to live.

I want to live!

Don't come near. I want to live!

Let's go back, Yeon Hee.

Let's go back.

You, wench! Why did you come here?

Mother...

Poong Yeon!

It's because of you!

All of this is because of your curse!

Our Poong Yeon becoming like this, everything!

It's because of you who has a curse!

This is the reason why I can't take you as my daughter, Yeon Hee.

You shouldn't have been born.

You shouldn't have been born into this world!

I'm begging you like this so please...

Please disappear.

Please go away, far from our Poong Yeon.

Please.

Take Yeon Hee away.

Yes.

Let's go, Yeon Hee.

Let's go.

Master.

That place called Cheongbing Temple...

How can I go there?

I will go to that place.

I will do everything as ordered.

So please

save my brother.

Sir, I don't think we can put this off any longer.

My Lord.

Someone from the palace came looking for you.

Take Yeon Hee and go to Cheongbing Temple first.

I'll take the Book of Demon Banishment and go after you.

Yes.

Why did you come all the way here?

I came to apologize.

I underestimated you.

Who's fault could it be? Everything is due to my negligence.

Seventeen years ago, when you obediently agreed to kill the princess,

I shouldn't have believed you.

It's no other than you, Choi Hyun Seo.

What do you want to say?

Where is the princess?

You didn't kill the princess.

It's probably silly compassion or pity.

You could have done it because of that. I understand.

So tell me. Where did you hide the princess?

The princess died.

Didn't you see it with your own eyes?

The princess burned in the flames.

Is that your answer?

Okay, I understand.

Well then.

What is going on?

That door is the way out.

Sir.

If the cursed princess is alive,

for the crime of disobeying the Queen Dowager and taking the Crown Prince's life for granted,

you won't be able to avoid losing your whole family and getting ripped into pieces.

Also, the person who gets transferred with the princess' curse will have a lingering illness

and will eventually die within a fortnight.

But that won't happen, right?

You, who lives for this country more than anyone else, will not commit

such an atrocious act of keeping an ominous seed.

Isn't that right?

You there!

Don't you see that we're closed?

Well...

I heard that you

have a family going to Ming so I came to see you.

You came to the wrong place.

We don't provide such luxurious items.

I have come from Cheongdong.

I need two boat tickets going to Ming.

Come back after two hours.

It's 200 nyang.

Are you done packing?

Jun.

Smuggle ourselves... No matter how I think about it, it's too dangerous.

Let's stop. If they catch us doing this, you'll also be in danger.

Mother. During the time I lived here, I had to give up a lot of things.

I lived purposely getting things wrong and purposely falling over

but

I'm not going to live like that anymore.

Jun.

Even if we only live for a day now,

let's live while doing what we want to do.

Hey, this wench.

I'll give you money.

Why?

-Let me see.-Sir.

This country, Joseon, is so close-minded.

Confucian ideology or whatever.

You can't wear this kind of fancy accessories.

It's so old-fashioned. An exotic-looking man like me

need to wear a ring like this, don't you think?

Of course!

It really suits you, Sir.

Sir, while you're at it, purchase one.

The rings this person is selling are hard to get even with money.

-Really?-Of course!

He's a merchant from Ming

and these days, there has been a huge crackdown of merchants coming from other countries

so finding one is as hard as plucking stars in the sky.

No wonder this looks like our Miyang.

It's totally different from Joseon rings.

I'm in the mood.

Today, all of you pick one each.

It's a gift so pick.

-Is that for real?-Yes.

-Let me see!-Young Master.

What?

-What is it?-Can I excuse you for a bit?

Hey, slowly come in.

If you wait here for a bit, I'll get us the boat tickets.

During the time I've lived here, I had to give up a lot of things.

I lived purposely getting things wrong and purposely falling over.

I'm not going to live like that anymore.

This is the amount you asked for. Hurry and give me the boat tickets.

I only sell a ticket to a person once.

Do you know why?

It's either the person who rode the boat safely arrives in Ming

or he becomes food for the fish in the rough seas.

It's because they get caught by slave hunters.

Do you know which one more people experience?

It's the one where slave hunters catch them.

Those people are tough and they enjoy it.

If they get caught, they die in vain. If they don't get caught, it's a life of running away forever.

To change your mind,

this is your last chance.

Will you still go?

No matter what happens,

I will board the boat.

At 1:00 a.m...

The boat will go without delay.

You can't be late.

Okay.

Are you going to Yeon Hee?

Wife, I don't have time to explain.

I'll tell you when I come back.

Don't go!

It's all over anyways.

Now everything

is over.

What do you mean by that?

What did you say?

I told everything to The Lead Shamaness from Palace Shaman Council.

Why?

Why did you do that?

Why you ask? You really don't know?

That strange mark that appeared behind Poong Yeon's ear is because of Yeon Hee's fault, isn't it?

That must be because Poong Yeon developed feelings for Yeon Hee!

We must break Yeon Hee's curse in order to save the country and to put an end to Hong Joo's black magic!

I don't need anything!

I don't care about the nation when my son is dying right now.

That Lead Shamaness clearly said that...

Only if that child dies, only if she dies,

our Poong Yeon can live.

She promised me that she would cover everything up only if you didn't interfere in this matter any longer.

So, please don't go.

I got everything we need. Let's go.

Wait here for a moment.

To think that priests from the Taoist temple are gathered to hide a cursed child...

Can you still call yourselves guards of the palace?

Fight!

You!

Cheon Won! Cheon Won!

Cheon Won!

Cheon Won.

Cheon Won. Cheon Won!

Cheon Won!

Cheon Won!

Sir!

No!

No! Ahh!

Foolish men.

Do you even know what that child's curse is?

You guys are dying all because of that girl.

What are you saying?

It's all my fault?

Pitiful child.

No one told you

about your curse.

All the people who love you will die.

And the people you love will die too.

That's the curse that you have.

Child,

are you sad?

Are you in pain?

So, why were you born?

No one wanted you.

Do you want to save everyone?

Then, you need to die. Only you.

Stop!

Stop it! You can't take this child.

Sir, please do not get in my way anymore.

No matter even if it is you, I can't forgive you any further.

Sir, please run away immediately.

Go and chase after him and The Princess. You must definitely not lose them!

You'll have to pass me first.

Who is going to die with me?

They couldn't have gone far.

Search everywhere, we have to take Princess to the palace.

Yes!

Yeon Hee.

Father.

Yeon Hee,

you have to listen to me from now.

When I go out to get their attention, you need to run without looking back.

You can't look back, just run while looking forward.

No, I don't want to.

It's all my fault.

Then it's better that I die.

No you can't, you can't Yeon Hee.

You can't die, you need to live.

You must go to Cheongbin Temple and break this curse.

That way, everyone can live.

You must go to Cheongbin Temple at any cost.

I'm sorry Yeon Hee.

Even though I'm late, Happy Birthday.

Father.

He's right there! Chase after him!

Yeon Hee.

Never die and you must survive!

Go to Cheongbin Temple and you must...

So that everyone can survive.

That way!

Where is the princess?

I don't know.

She is destined to die anyway.

But why are you willing to give all things away because of that worthless child?

You wrench!

No, she has to survive.

That is the will of Heaven.

The will of Heaven?

What the hell is that?

To live complying to the destiny that has never been fair from the start?

Is it really the will of Heaven that you are meaning of?

Born without anything,

to be a toy for the people who have a lot

to lie flat in front of them even if you are stepped on again and again

Is it the will of Heaven that you are crying out for?

To serve the wrong Sky

is the thing you have to do as a subject.

To make a way to the right direction for the Sky

That is the thing that you and I have to do.

No

I will not live like that from now on.

Now I will step up on them.

Hong Joo, I know what resentment you have in your mind.

But the method is wrong.

What you have become today is all because of me.

Let's go to the Palace together.

Stop here and pay the price together.

Don't ruin yourself any more, Hong Joo.

What you have taught me,

I'm paying you back like this, I am all truly sorry.

However

As of today there won't be a thing like Heaven to me.

From now on my will is also the will of Heaven.

We must capture the princess by all means!

Capture her and must kill her.

Yeon Hee!

Hey persimmon,

Is your name perhaps Yeon Hee?

Are you sad?

Are you in agony?

So, why were you born?

Nobody wanted you.

It's said that there isn't anyone who should never have been born in this world.

No matter what kind of person you are, each person born must have their own reason

why he/she was born to help this world in some way.

Do you want to save everyone?

Then, if you do, you need to die. Only you.

It's all my fault.

Then, it'll be better

if I die.

You can't.

Mirror of the Witch ~ Preview ~

The Princess' body that has a curse doesn't die easily.

Bring Hong Joo right now!

Eventually, it's what they've brought to themselves.

Mother!

My mom is so pitiful. My mom!

Young Master, you dropped this.

Bring the red cloak in front of my eyes right now!

No matter what you do, we must catch them at all cost.

I arrest you for committing a murder.

I will definitely break the curse.

It's not me!
