Original subtitles

The princess is Ms. Hong.

Ms. Hong's sister is Park Ha.

This is my mother.

Mom!

The princess's sister is Bu-yong.

Do you know the Chinese character for your name "Ha"?

It means lotus.

Another name for lotus in Korean is "Bu-yong."

Bu-yong.

Bu-yong.

Hey! Your Royal Highness.

Ha...

You are...

Bu-yong.

You are definitely Bu-yong.

What's wrong with you? Who's that?

Bu-yong is...

the princess's sister.

You were Bu-yong.

I was in Joseon, too?

Yes, you were in Joseon, too.

You and I were together in Joseon.

I feel as if I have met an old friend.

It is such a pleasure.

So, we met each other in Joseon?

We did not only meet. We were very close.

You were Bu-yong.

Really?

My name was Bu-yong?

What was I like in Joseon?

Bu-yong did not dare look at me

and always followed me from a distance.

Why?

Why did I have to keep a distance?

I told you, Bu-yong was the princess's sister.

Since the princess entered the palace at a young age,

Bu-yong entered the palace to keep the princess and me company.

That was her role.

She would tell me interesting rumors and stories from outside the palace.

Even if I had heard it already from a eunuch or court lady,

it was more fun hearing it from her.

Back then, I enjoyed testing people with riddles.

But no matter how hard I made it,

you always solved them, so it was frustrating.

This one will not be easy.

What dies in life and lives in death?

Come to think of it,

I spoke with you more

than I did with the princess.

I was put in a good mood if I spoke with you.

But in stark contrast to you now,

in Joseon, you were smart and wise.

I knew you'd insult me.

But knowing we were in Joseon together

makes me happy for some reason.

I feel like I have solved another riddle...

by figuring out that you were Bu-yong.

Are we still going to watch the fireworks tonight?

Yes. I packed five dinner boxes.

Let's go together later.

You and I.

Let us go alone.

Idiot.

Why did you not respond?

Hey.

Let us go alone. Please?

It's been two years.

Your Royal Highness. Your favorite variety show is on.

I am tired. I shall go to bed early.

It is so early. He is going to bed already?

Hey.

You're glued to the TV.

Read a book if you have the time.

Yes, Ha.

Sis. Aren't we going to watch the fireworks?

I can't tonight.

Why not?

Something's wrong with my eyes

and the doctor told me not to look at flashing lights.

The fireworks are too bright.

It's so bright in here!

Our electricity bill is insane.

Huh?

Let's go to bed.

You must be tired. Go to sleep early.

May I...

call you "Mom"?

I never thought I'd meet my mom

so suddenly like this.

Sure.

I'm shocked as well.

When you gave this to me

last time before returning to Hong Kong...

Right.

Did you have the feeling that I was your daughter?

Maybe I did,

seeing how I gave you my own ring.

Thinking back on it now, I think I did, too.

Ever since I got this ring,

I couldn't stop thinking about you.

In-ju.

Yes?

We named you by combining

"In" from your father’s name, In-cheol, and "Ju" from mine, Seon-ju.

That was how we came up with In-ju.

I remember hearing that from Dad.

He told me about it many times, so I remember that.

That's not true, Se-na.

It was a mistake. We meant to spell Jin-ju,

but it was misspelled as In-ju.

What is it?

Nothing.

I'm tired, so I'd like to go back up.

I've kept you for too long, Mom.

I'll see you to your room.

It's ridiculous that someone who can afford this suite is Ha's mom.

I'll take everything that belongs to her.

In-ju. Is there anything I can do for you?

No. I just want to see you often.

Okay. I'll see you tomorrow.

Get home safely.

Yes, Mom.

Goodnight.

What took you so long?

Are you wearing makeup?

No.

I don't look any different.

What do you mean? Why would I put on makeup?

Let us go.

Over there.

Let's sit.

It's completely different from the sparklers we played with.

Look at that.

-Wow. -Wow.

Wow.

It's so pretty.

Right?

It is incredible.

PHONE BOOK

REFORMED COMMON SENSE

Why did His Royal Highness suddenly order me to do embroidery?

It is easier to move boulders. Reading is pure torture.

You memorized the phone book already?

Do not speak to me.

Your Royal Highness, we are coming in.

I memorized the phone book, Your Royal Highness.

I am ready to be tested.

Your Royal Highness?

Your Royal Highness?

Your Royal Highness? I shall lift the blanket.

Oh my god!

Your Royal Highness!

Okay.

How much is this?

Sis is the princess's sister?

Yes.

So, Ha was also reincarnated?

That is interesting.

Here.

There you go. They're nice and cold.

What's wrong?

His Royal Highness told us that you were in Joseon with us.

You don't look it, but I heard you were a member of the nobility.

Anyway, this is a pleasant surprise.

Same here. Hearing that we were in Joseon together,

it feels like we've known each other for a really long time.

And I'm glad we met.

Let's drink to that.

Okay. Cheers!

Cheers!

-Cheers! -Cheers!

Why are Se-na and Yong Tae-mu

lying to me?

They know where my daughter is.

Your Royal Highness. What is on your mind?

The sun will rise soon.

Please sleep and get some rest.

The more you think, the more the thought will make you think.

I think it may be best not to think.

It just doesn't make any sense.

I'm sure that Hong was the princess and that Ha was Bu-yong.

I thought the princess to have a pure heart.

But here, I think otherwise.

Actually, Your Royal Highness,

there was a rumor that the princess

burned her sister's face

because she was chosen as the princess

and she became the princess in her sister's stead.

Why did you not tell me that sooner?

-Please punish us! -Please punish us!

If that is true,

the princess's character is consistent both 300 years ago and now.

I understand now.

Your Royal Highness. You should sleep now.

In Joseon, the princess and Bu-yong were real sisters.

Yet, Hong and Ha are only stepsisters here.

That bothers me.

If anything bothers you,

tell me everything now.

Well...

In Joseon, you married the princess.

But here,

you are in love with her sister, Ha.

I wonder why we came to Ha's rooftop house instead of the princess's house.

That baffles me most.

The princess died after consuming the poison on the dried persimmon.

And we ended up here while searching for the truth.

So we should have landed in the princess's house.

Why did we land in her sister Ha's house?

There is something about Ha.

There is definitely something there.

Thank you for last time. Sorry for intruding like that.

Not at all. How are you feeling?

I feel better, thanks to you.

I hope you like this. Although it's not as good as Park Ha's stew.

You're right.

I don't know about anything else, but Ha cooks very well.

She's not just a good cook.

I saw her in the hospital with her mother.

She took good care of her. You're a great daughter.

We've lived apart for so long.

I'm just trying to make up for lost time.

She's been through a lot because of me.

All parents worry about their children.

You're so nice to be thinking about your mom's feelings.

So, are you taking time off?

Yes. I was working in the suburbs until recently,

but thanks to someone, I'm unemployed now.

That is why I am taking care of you.

You abuse me like a slave.

What? You are ungrateful.

You two seem very close.

It makes me happy just watching you.

You make me want to stay with you.

That's right.

Why don't you be my assistant while I'm in Seoul?

Really?

This is the guide to today's ceramics exhibition.

Okay.

Make this a day to remember with Chairman Jang.

Don't worry. I studied ceramics all night.

Find something in common with her as much as possible.

Ha has only driven trucks, so she is a rough driver.

I'd better fasten my seatbelt.

Ha is slow to understand things,

so please speak in short sentences.

Hey.

She has a big appetite,

so she will become violent if you starve her.

I'll kill you.

Ha, are you angry?

-Sorry? -Are you hungry?

Should we go eat again?

Chairman Jang, not you, too.

-Once, Ha-- -Seriously, what's wrong?

Keep talking, and I won't cook for you anymore.

She can do imitations.

Why is Ha with Chairman Jang?

What if she finds out that Ha is her daughter?

I can't stand that bitch.

I asked you to get rid of Tae-yong. You said you would.

You make me do all the work. What have you been doing?

Se-na. Calm down. Snap out of it.

Let's find out what happened.

Call Ha and ask.

SE-NA

Please excuse me.

Hello?

Where are you?

I'm out.

Why?

I have a favor to ask. Are you busy?

Yes.

I'm going to be the assistant for someone I know.

What? Assistant?

Well, she lives abroad, so I'm just helping her

while she's here in Korea.

Excuse me.

YONG TAE-MU

Hello?

Hello? It's Yong Tae-mu.

Are you meeting Hong Se-na today?

Yes, I am.

She just called.

She was in an accident and can't make it.

-I had fun. See you tomorrow. -I'll see you tomorrow.

Ha.

Yes?

Does your sister have a friend named In-ju? Park In-ju?

Park In-ju?

I'm not sure.

Oh, really?

What is it?

Oh, nothing.

-I'll see you tomorrow. -Yes, ma'am.

Mom. Sorry I couldn't make it this afternoon.

Aren't these callas pretty?

Mr. Yong Tae-mu got them for you, Mom.

He did?

He's a good person. He's always been good to me.

And...

he brought you and me together.

Shouldn't we show him our gratitude?

How do you want to do that?

It's the first favor I'm asking you.

Please vote for Mr. Yong Tae-mu

as the CEO at the board meeting tomorrow.

If that's what my daughter wants, of course.

If that is what's right.

Thanks, Mom.

She'll do anything her daughter wants.

She'll give you her vote tomorrow.

Great job.

Se-na. Just stop by for breakfast.

Hey! Se-na! Se--

That brat.

I knew it was too good to last.

Mother, I'll eat double.

Everything looks so good. I can eat three servings.

Okay.

That's right.

You're going to be Seon-ju's assistant starting today?

Yes.

I'm just going to help her out while she's here.

That's great. Take good care of her.

I will.

It's like a dream, having breakfast with you, Mom.

This is all thanks to Mr. Yong Tae-mu.

You didn't forget to vote for him today, did you?

Do you want anything else, In-ju?

Mom. I really like you.

I'm so happy I have you. I don't need anything else.

I need to go get ready. Continue eating.

Okay.

You've lost your mind. She's not your mom.

What's it to you what I do?

I feel bad for Mother.

She cooked all night and made your favorite dishes.

She had no idea you were lying and calling someone else "Mom."

Don't lecture me.

Get your act together.

You think you'll be happy by breaking your mom's heart?

How dare you--

Even if you mend a broken heart, the scars remain.

The pain will remain.

If you're so ashamed of her, stop being her daughter.

I'll be her daughter.

Submit my vote at the Home & Shopping board meeting for me.

Okay. I will.

DIRECTOR YONG DONG-MAN, DIRECTOR YONG TAE-MU

Mr. Yong Dong-man?

I vote for Yong Tae-mu as CEO.

Next. Mr. Pyo Taek-su?

I vote for Yong Tae-yong as CEO.

VOTES

I vote for Yong Tae-mu as CEO.

I vote for Yong Tae-yong as CEO.

I vote for Yong Tae-mu as CEO.

Where's Chairman Jang?

Is she abstaining?

YONG TAE-YONG, YONG TAE-MU

Each candidate has received four votes.

As for the final vote, since she is absent--

Just a minute!

This is Chairman Jang's proxy vote.

PROXY VOTE

Chairman Jang Seon-ju votes for

Yong Tae-yong as CEO.

Are you upset I didn't do as you asked?

I want to know why you didn't vote for Mr. Yong Tae-mu.

You're not In-ju.

You thought you'd get away with a lie like that?

I don't want to talk to you anymore.

Get out.

How dare you disappoint me like this?

Why are you going as far as becoming the CEO?

I told you, I will do my best as Yong Tae-yong.

I must solve the princess's murder in the past,

but I must solve Yong Tae-yong's murder here as well.

Do not worry.

Ouch.

You look ugly.

Smile.

Please have it ready by next week.

-We will. -Thank you.

Are you done running her errands?

Yes. I told you I'd be done soon.

Why did you follow me?

I did not. I was making sure you were doing your job right.

WISH RING: A RING THAT GRANTS YOUR WISH

It says it grants your wish.

You believe that?

It is all a lie.

Buy me this.

Hand.

And I'll buy this for you.

A man does not wear a ring.

Couples here...

exchange rings like this.

Is that so?

What will you wish for?

I told you I do not believe in it.

What...

is wrong?

Mr. Yong Tae-mu's office is nice.

I'd love to yell at employees in an office like this.

Stop with your nonsense.

Find clues regarding why he went to Chicago.

Wait.

Who is it?

Who?

YONG TAE-MU

What...

is your real identity?

What's your real name?

You are correct. I am not Yong Tae-yong.

When did you figure it out?

When I found out that the real Tae-yong is alive.

Yong Tae-yong is alive?

He's in a coma, but he's still alive.

Then...

why did you not tell everyone that I am an impostor?

You're an impostor, but you don't harm the chairman.

And I need you to fight Tae-mu, so I played dumb.

You are wise.

You're investigating why Tae-mu went to Chicago, right?

Yes.

I need you...

and you need me.

Tell me everything.

Tae-mu went to Chicago to bring the real Tae-yong

What did you say?

Yong Tae-yong is coming here?

INCHEON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

We'll lose them! Speed up!

You will hit them! Keep a distance!

Be quiet! We will lose them!

They went right.

Pull over! We lost the ambulance.

Can you not drive? How could you lose the ambulance?

Now we do not know where Yong Tae-mu went!

You should have stuck close!

You should have turned right after the ambulance!

Do not tell me how to drive.

-Come on. Yong-sul. -Open the door.

What are you doing?

Yong-sul!

-Hey! -Hey!

SONGDO HOSPITAL

Are you insane? Have you lost your mind?

No more complaints about my driving.

We have no time for this.

We must hurry and find out where Yong Tae-mu went!

I...

memorized the ambulance's license plate number,

but I do not know what to do with it.

Get in.

Come on. Get in.

What is this?

Are you really insane?

What is your problem? Ouch, my neck.

Call the police.

Tell them the ambulance hit us and ran off.

You know its license plate number.

Then we can find out to which hospital it went.

You're a genius.

But...

if you were going to hit these, why did you tell us to get in?

Exactly.

If you were going to fake an accident,

why did you want us in the car?

To look real.

Father.

Please call a special board meeting.

This afternoon.

We only need two-thirds of the directors present.

Yes.

The agenda is...

the dismissal of the CEO.

Hello, Mr. Baek. It's Dong-man.

There is an emergency at the company.

We need to call an emergency meeting.

The agenda is the dismissal of the CEO.

We have plenty of evidence.

We found out that the current CEO is grossly unqualified.

You idiot. How could you fall here?

HA

Hello?

Where are you? I am running late.

Oh, really?

I'm still on my way, so don't worry.

I see.

I will be there in five minutes.

Me, too. So take your time.

If you get there first,

have some ice cream while waiting.

Okay. I will.

Do not sit and shake your leg.

Stand properly and wait for me.

Where are you?

You're watching me, aren't you?

Do not think I am always watching you.

Bye.

Do not cross your legs.

Where are you?

PYO TAEK-SU

Hello?

Yong Tae-mu. You're sure this time, right?

Yes, Father.

I'll get the meeting ready,

so follow through with your plan.

Okay. Please do as I asked.

I will. Now get going.

Okay.

HA

-This way, Your Royal Highness. -Has Tae-mu not yet arrived?

No. Man-bo is keeping an eye on him.

CHI-SAN

What?

Already?

Mr. Yong Tae-mu has arrived.

-I shall stop him. -No.

Tell Man-bo to stall him.

Hello? Man-bo?

Doctor.

-I have a question. -I'm very busy right now.

-Please ask someone else. -Come on.

This is my prescription or whatever.

Where am I supposed to go?

Please go to the information desk. I'm sorry.

Come on, doctor.

Can't you help me out?

You see the information desk there? Go ask them. Please!

Hello, Director.

Hey, Dung-man.

You want to dismiss the CEO?

I came to watch you crash and burn.

Watch carefully.

It'll be the last company show.

You wicked thing.

My gosh. Look who's here.

Come on in.

Sorry for calling a meeting again so soon.

This wouldn't have happened,

if we elected the proper CEO last time.

Please take a seat there.

Yes.

EMERGENCY BOARD MEETING

DISMISSAL OF THE CEO

Wait.

CHAIRMAN YEO GIL-NAM

There you are!

I told you to take your prescription!

-What? -You need your prescription.

-Come with me. -You have the wrong person.

Aren't you Kim Jin-su?

I am not.

I'm sorry. So sorry.

That's so strange.

We will begin the emergency board meeting.

I propose the dismissal of Yong Tae-yong as CEO.

You wicked thing!

Why? What's your reason for dismissal?

Mr. Yong Tae-mu is connected via satellite.

Please.

Hello, directors. I am Yong Tae-mu.

The current CEO is not Yong Tae-yong.

He is an impostor. He is...

just a con artist.

Behind me is the real Yong Tae-yong.

-What? -What's going on?

-What the... -Who is that?

Where's the CEO?

Where's Yong Tae-yong?

Obviously, he can't be here.

He ran away.

This is my cousin,

Yong Tae-yong, who disappeared two years ago.

He's in a coma,

but he is definitely my cousin Yong Tae-yong.

Unfortunately,

the doctors say he will most likely...

not recover.

However,

my cousin, Yong Tae-yong,

would want us to save the company

from the con artist and expose the truth.

I request the dismissal of the impostor...

acting as our CEO.

Tae-mu.
