I'm not expecting anything grand.

Just that people of the North and South may live without fear of war, in peace.

Have you found a suitable partner?

What do you think of Kim Hang Ah?

She asked the party to find her a man.

How is it possible that I still haven't had a real realationship at this age?

Number 1. You gotta be pretty. No exceptions!

Wouldn't it also be a problem if one were to be too attractive?

And, a bimbo.

He should be taller than me.

-And, understanding. -He should be considerate.

Charm, an absolute must. Talking back, no way.

He should have a sense of humor.

During the day, you're pure and innocent. At night, a temptress.

Get this sullied today.

Virgin lips at your age is ridiculous!

Have you seen any good candidates?

How about a cosmopolitan woman from our Republic?

-How about your daughter? -They promised me a 100, no, a 1000!

And now they're pushing just one candidate, that immature South Korean Prince!

-Jealous, me? -Comrade Eun Shi Kyung!

-Isn't this too immature? -Are you jealous, Comrade Lee?

Hey are you playing hard to get? That's for pretty girls to do!

Once you get to know me, I'm like a magnolia,

like any Korean woman.

I never forget things. Just you wait, you're dead.

To the infinite glory of the unified officer's team,

and to winning the WOC championship!

Cheers!

-What is it. -Just a sec.

A present.

Ah, it's for my address. I wanted to write it somewhere but couldn't find paper.

Why, you don't like it?

Write it down.

Here. Make it small.

Quickly!

You guys use 220 volts too right?

It's almost new. Just charge it before using.

And... This is toner.

Guess you'd call it 'water for the skin', or something like that.

I had some 'pong pong' made for you.

That's something, you won't find in South Korea.

So, it's...

It'll soon be time for the championship,

so we'll meet again.

Lets take a photograph together.

Here, let's get together for a bit.

Hurry and take a seat.

Over here!

Photographer, one over here please!

Take one of us please.

Ah, just a second!

Hey slacker, what are you up to?

I-I'm sorry.

Are you looking for the prince?

No, that's not it. Why would I...

The room key, we need to receive Comrade Lee's too.

It belongs to the party, you see...

Yes, I already returned it.

The prince already left, with his highness.

I see.

Of course he did.

This... The prince asked that I relay this to you.

A present.

That blockhead. Empty shell!

Dimwit!

Hello, Seoul!

Hey bro, bro!

This is it, this was what I was missing!

How long has it been since I've breathed in Seoul's air?

Bro, bro! Kim Hang Ah's here too.

Tell them to take that down immediately! Bro, bro!

Ah, you're being prudish again!

Hey Prude!

This is exactly, what makes him Lee Jae Ha.

Mom.

Ah, Mom~

What's up with you, Mom?

You haven't seen your son in months and this is how you are?

Bro, what did you say that made her so mad-

What exactly have you been doing in North Korea?

What were you up to that made your good brother,

Jae Kang get mad at me?

He got mad at you, Mom?

And you consider yourself a human being after that?

I'm sorry, Mother.

And, as for Jae Ha...

-He got a little better at the end... -A little?

Don't you see this crutch I have?

The wound I had opened up and got all infected, and-

When I scratched it, I could see the bone. I had to get a transfusion!

Bad memories...

Think I need to take a seat over there, ow!

Leave your schedule open next week. Jae Shin's coming.

What, really? What about school?

Ow! What?

Oh yeah, it's break.

So then the three of us get to reunite and play with the National Treasures again?

Hey, don't you remember? National treasure No. 327?

You broke that last time and Father had to go to the Administration himself!

Joke, it's a joke, you prude.

What do you mean 'prude.' How can you call your brother that?

Bro. So you admit I did my best towards the end, right?

You can grant me a small wish then, right?

There's someone, I really want to bring to the palace...

This person is very much like you.

A straight-laced idealist,

and prudish.

Reporting! As of February 5,

Captain Eun Shi Kyung has been appointed the palace company commander.

And hereby report these facts. Allegiance!

Allegiance.

Captain, Eun Shi Kyung.

You must've made a good impression.

The prince specifically asked for you.

Lieutenant Yeom will also join us so the two of you-

You look great.

Thank you.

You're aware that this is a post that guards the royal family, right?

Yes. I'll go review my duties immediately-

Who will be guarding my room today?

Isn't that the inner chambers? No one is allowed beyond that.

I know you usually only guard in front of the chamber doors,

But I'm a bit nervous.

I've been hanging out with the commies for a month.

Can't we do something more to secure my room?

Yes sir. We'll select several people and take turns-

No. Not a soldier, but someone more trustworthy.

-An officer. -Yes.

-We'll have Dong Ah- -No, no, no, no.

A most loyal and strong person.

We need someone more trustworthy.

You.

Above that.

How dare you! Are you molesting me?

That's where my wound is!

-I'll call a professional masseuse for you. -Eun Shi Kyung-

This is all part of your training.

Sure. When you first aimed that gun at me,

Here?

I thought you had no idea what you were doing.

And giving me the goosebumps with your speeches?

You shouldn't say things like that. Let's forget about it.

I thought that was just your hobby.

But, leaving just because you're told to leave,

Doesn't that seem a bit off to you?

-Don't you remember? -Go alone.

The final mission...

That was too much for one person to be responsible for.

How could you send me off to do 60km alone?

Even if I told you to go ahead,

There are things such as non-verbal signs.

Couldn't you feel the desperation coming out of my body?

And you... You're a sly one, aren't you?

Kim Hang Ah... Are you that into her?

What?

Yeah, sure. Her style is...

in need of a major overhaul.

But, she's not bad.

I admit, she does try to look her best.

But that snow fight, was that really necessary, in front of me?

I never laughed like that before.

If it were just once, I wouldn't say anything.

Why did you bring up the gun, at the specific moment?

How is your dizziness? The gun scared you earlier, didn't it?

You don't know? You don't know, right?

See. You have no tact.

That's why I'm training you now.

By staying close by to me,

you'll learn what the prince wants, should and shouldn't do,

and learn to have some tact.

The channel, channel! Change the channel!

The talk, about Lee Jae Ha...

Did you think the party came up with that idea?

That's not it. The King brought this up himself.

The South Korean King, himself?

Yes. He reacted very positively to the idea.

So my daughter, have confidence in yourself.

Even the South Korean royal family,

has selected you despite our ideological differences.

That's how lovely you are.

She's the one, isn't she? Special missions for the WOC championship...

It'd be a difficult match, right?

You said you were only thinking about it.

Action comes after contemplation.

I knew it!

An arranged marriage with a North Korean woman! Really?

Wait outside. This is war, ok?

I'll show you what covert fighting in the palace can really be like.

Jae Ha.

What's most important to me is your heart.

My heart? I'll really show you what my heart desires.

My heart, hates you!

If you don't like this arranged meeting, I won't force you.

No way. I don't want to. Never!

Even if she's pretty?

They're stylish, edgy.

They're just born in North Korea. But educated abroad.

You won't get a whiff of DPRK from them.

Dont lie. I'll go, and there'll be Kim Hang Ah saying,

"You're here?" That's what she'll say. I know it.

Kim Hang Ah? She didn't make the cut.

C'mon, how can we bring a special missions officer into the palace?

Really?

Yeah, that's right.

Why, are you disappointed?

Why would I be? Am I crazy?

-Is she really pretty? -Yup. All of them.

I just saw the photos...

I almost gave up your sister-in-law too.

Your'e all talk. So then, I'm just gonna meet with them.

I'll consider it a trip abroad. Just gonna check out their faces and body lines.

If I don't like 'em, then no thank you.

You have to make a bit of conversation, keep your manners.

Manners? Then it's Lee Jae Ha.

Kim Hang Ah, she didn't make the cut?

She must be full of hope.

Oh, what will we do?

But we're off. Let's go!

We didn't drop Kim Hang Ah. We were being considerate.

What was the reason?

She has to go to the WOC Championship too,

and this would just be more pressure for her to handle.

Take the wrapper off and show me the core.

Is it because my daughter is a DPRK military officer?

That's not it. We-

I understand.

I'm sure my daughter who smells of bean paste is no match,

for the girls who studied abroad, and smell like foreigners.

So good luck, marrying him off.

Father, you're here?

I just put these on my face...

Comrade Lee kept making fun of my freckles so--

Not that I'm trying too hard or anything.

I don't want to provide any faults to pick on, right?

The South Korean royal family, they don't know what they're missing.

Think about it.

A woman as honest and beautiful as you,

who respects elders... this is rare.

Lee Jae Ha?

He's not worth it.

To tell you the truth, I never liked that

dimwitted goblin.

This is for the best. Don't you think so?

Yeah, it is.

Troublemaker.

A trap!

Why am I crying?

I was crazy.

This is nonsense.

My North Korean name is, Park So Jung.

Please just call me Alyssia Pak.

You speak French?

Yes.

My nationality is the only thing North Korean about me.

The North...

I've never even been there.

My father is a diplomat, so I've been abroad all my life.

I am, a handbag designer.

And I'm launching a new collection now.

Do you also make bags with numbered locks?

What do you mean?

I met a North Korean woman during the WOC training,

and she hid her lingerie in these bags-

I mean, who'd want to look at them anyway?

The bags were secured with numbered locks.

I do make bags with numbered locks, but I prefer these small hand held bags.

You should send them back to your own country too.

That girl I was talking about, she...

also carried inside these bags...

Accupuncture needles?

She carried needles inside this weird tin container,

Ah, it was scary.

She's a girl too you know. Couldn't she carry them in a prettier case?

Welcome. You've just been transferred here, Comrade Kim Hang Ah, right?

I'm not entirely new.

I've already been to the country we're surveiling several times.

Then you must know well.

These programs are recorded automatically, so just go through them.

Then report on the important South Korean news you find.

Sure.

The South Korean prince has been photographed abroad.

-[Prince Lee Jae Ha meeting a beautiful woman!] -He's handsome.

I heard he trained with you, Comrade.

It must've been nice.

Ah, these boys are performing.

MBS Breaking News

Prince Lee Jae Ha marries North Korean Military Officer.

And she was crying!

I mean, what can I do about the fact that she can't attract men?

-So I said- -There...

We have some breaking news.

The South Korean prince, Lee Jae Ha and DPRK Captain Kim Hang Ah,

are said to have promised marriage to each other.

Marriage?

Once again,

The South Korean prince Lee Jae Ha and the DPRK Captain Kim Hang Ah,

have promised marriage to each other.

Marriage?

According to Reuter,

The King has been secretly working on this marriage between Prince Lee Jae Ha,

and a North Korean woman.

One of the candidates, Captain Kim Hang Ah, is a DPRK instructor from the 10th class,

and teaches removal of key personnel and assassination,

to special forces in the DPRK.

We'll connect with our ouside sources at this time. Reporter Hwang?

Is it true that the prince is to marry a DPRK special agent?

Yes. All the agencies have different news and we cannot confirm the marriage,

But it is true that the royal court was planning a wedding with a North Korean woman in mind,

and that one of the candidates was a member of the DPRK special forces.

The Special Forces instructor Kim Hang Ah teaches assassination,

and her targets included key personnel as well as the royal family,

which is causing so much shock.

What is this about?

The South Korean Prince is marrying who?

They say it's Kim Hang Ah.

Wh, Who?

They say it's me. Me.

So they're gonna put up a fight?

The marriage, is happening too.

Who?

You mean like the mercenaries we hire?

Who would they match someone like that with?

With Lee Jae Ha?

Let them go ahead with it.

Look.

It's so much fun even when a duchess marrys a knight.

If South Korean royalty were to marry someone who was supposed to kill him,

how exciting would that be?

You know how this opera ends?

The man leaves, and the woman dies.

It's a tragedy.

Send all the reporters out and bring the King into the Oval Office.

-Yes, Sir. -Mr. Secretary! Mr. Secretary!

This here...

Your Highness,

What is it?

Who leaked this news?

Club M sent this over.

They send their congratulations for the Prince's wedding.

What happened?

Was he really only considering, or trying to get me to marry Kim Hang Ah?

He was only considering it.

The news reports are slowly moving towards-

This should never have been leaked, it's North Korea!

And does it make sense that it's Special Agent Kim Hang Ah?

That's not true. It was brought up like a joke,

but we quickly agreed it wouldn't happen. I'll clear it up right away.

Yes. Yes!

Damn this situation...

Father, have you heard?

-What is this... -This is a South Korean problem.

Either they get the blame, or the people will ask for justice.

In any case, this has nothing to do with us. It's their problem.

Don't get swept away. Alright?

This morning, there continues to be strife over a North Korean special army instructor,

being included as a bridal candidate.

The royal family has been silent until now.

We'll hear from citizens on the street now.

The economy is a mess. Why are you doing this now?

And this North Korean woman, is it true she's an assassin?

There are too many rumors, that she's a spy, etc.

But why is the royal family so quiet?

We live in a democratic time, we have the right to know!

It took me 2 hours to go 100 meters, 2 hours!

What does the Prime Minister say?

He says to make a statement but, also bear in mind, Your Highness...

not to complain, or make any excuses.

This is the unofficial rule that has been kept since the constitutional monarchy was formed.

You must keep your silence.

Meddlesome bastards. Why not pay attention to politics alone?

His Highness has made up his mind.

What's there to think about? It's just about being quiet.

He has decided to provide an explanation.

What?

What explanation?

What is it you want to let the people know about?

That in reality Kim Hang Ah is really a bimbo when it comes to dating?

That you're really a prude? Or...

That there's a birthmark on my rear? What is it?

I'll say what it was. That we had planned for a marriage with a North Korean woman.

That Kim Hang Ah was considered but not a final candidate.

Then why did you consider?

You wanna die at the hands of an assassin, are you selling our country to the North...

They'll eat this alive and continue on.

Let's just be quiet!

That noise outside?

I guarantee you, it'll be gone in a week.

All we need is another politician or celebrity scandal and--

This is related to North Korea.

It won't go away so easily.

And if the problem gets bigger?

As you said, this is related to North Korea.

It's an explosive situation.

One wrong move and what if the people explode?

What are you going to do then?

Dethronment might be brought up too.

Then I'll give it up.

If that's what the people want.

He's just dying to give it up man.

Even guys like you know, right?

That he should keep quiet at a time like this, right?

In fact,

I agree with His Highness on this issue.

You, you ... Get out. Get out!

Hold on.

So...

When will he express our position?

There are twenty minutes left.

News that a North Korean agent was a candidate for the crown princess of the Republic of Korea,

has brought about strong responses from people of all walks of life.

Whether this will work favorably towards North-South relations,

remains a question to all. What are your thoughts on this?

But you're still a princess. How can you take a cab by yourself?

Someone from the palace will be there, so dont-

North Korea? It's not a big deal. Don't worry about it.

Sorry, can you change it? This news is exhausting me.

Of course, Mother.

This is better.

Okay, I'll see you then.

He won't get married. Who'd marry a North Korean?

Hang up.

Here is King Lee Jae Ha.

Hello. I am King of South Korea, Lee Jae Ha.

I'd like to congratulate you on this tournament.

This soccer team represents the Olympic team.

I hope the Korean team wins.

I prepared this all night, but it's not going so well.

It's because of the North Korean candidate, isn't it?

It's five minutes until the announcement. What should we do?

In five minutes, the official announcement will be made.

They say the king is at the World Cup Stadium.

Here he is.

Miss Kim Hang Ah...

It's true she was part of North Korea's special training unit.

When I first met her, she even threatened to kill me.

But it seems the most mysterious thing of all... is a person's heart.

I loved.... Kim Hang Ah.

That is why I requested marriage.

That request was accepted.

That's right. I only thought of myself.

I neglected to think of the nation.

I apologize.

However!

She has done nothing wrong!

I who loved a North Korean who was trained to kill...

That's what my heart chose.

Please curse me instead.

My heart that fell in love... Spit on it!

Throw stones at it.

Do what you please.

I beg of you.

Seems like we'll have to stop by Korea.

- You dare to lie to the people? - Why not?

I'll become king anyway.

Get it straight. It wasn't for you. So keep that in mind.

It's a warning. I can tell bigger lies.

Loving Kim Hang Ah was adultery.

What do you think? Sounds good?

When do you want to meet her?

What? What did you say?

You're the one who made a big deal of this.

You already made the announcement.

You should meet her officially.

You're really going to do this?

Seriously.

- Just because... - If you really want to marry her, do it.

- I told you to follow your heart... - I said I loved her!

What about Kim Hang Ah? What will she do?

What if she says, 'I love you too'?

Would she do that? Well, if she does that, I guess...

She likes me, okay?

Jae Kang.

When she looks at me, I swear her eyes twinkle.

Think about it. I'm good looking, stylish, polite, and intelligent.

Who wouldn't like me?

On top of that, I'm cute.

Jae Ha.

A man calling himself cute at your age is pathetic.

But I really am cute!

I'm a king too. I announced that I liked her.

The way I see it, she's already packed her things and is on her way here.

What will we do, huh?

- I won't do it. - Comrade Kim.

- This is of utmost... - Lee Jae Ha has fooled me before.

It's a lie that he likes me.

You can tell by looking at his eyes.

True. If the South Korean king were being honest, Kim Hang Ah's reaction would've been different.

It's all fluff.

He's the sort of person who'll try to get away with anything because he's king.

I won't fall for it anymore.

Think about it. Even if this incident can help us out,

we can't force anything to happen.

We should be more considerate of those involved.

She's playing hard to get.

If she says she loves me too right away, that's too embarrassing.

Geez, that woman.

Just wait and see. She'll come running here in no time.

She says she won't come.

They just held a meeting. She says she refuses to come.

Why?

- She...doesn't like me? - Right.

Why?

Though I am sorry to say this...

There are many people who like you.

Then what about me?

What do you think? You had a crush on a North Korean woman.

You even publicly proposed to her, and you were publicly rejected.

You've become the most humiliated king in history.

I loved... Kim Hang Ah.

That's why I requested marriage.

That request was accepted.

I loved... Kim Hang Ah.

Kim Hang Ah looks so tired.

I was thinking of getting her something to help with that.

Kim Hang Ah should be inside.

The thing about men... They're a problem.

I'm a man too, but men always say things they don't mean.

They might as well have something stuffed into their mouth, eh?

That wouldn't solve the problem.

- You need to crush them. - That's right.

- So with the South Korean king... - I'm going to crush him. Once I meet him.

I can't stand this anymore.

How can he publicly profess love to someone he won't even marry?

I can't afford to not meet him.

- I'm going to meet him. And then... - Oh my. Do you really have to?

I'm going to crush him.

I'm going to meet him.

Will I really be okay?

You're closer to Kim Hang Ah than me.

This is a request from the king, so try convincing her.

It's been a while Kim Hang Ah.

I will meet him.

As requested, I'll meet with King Lee Jae Ha.

When will be a good time?

You asked her, and she said yes?

Well, not really... We're working out the place and time.

Where would you like to meet?

What did you say?

I said, 'It's been a while Kim Hang Ah.'

She doesn't flinch when I say I love her. A confession from royalty no less.

But she says okay after you just say, 'It's been a while'?

- I was lucky... - She must have wanted to come the whole time.

Wow. This is amazing.

This is Lee Jae Ha.

Eun Shi Kyung can't make the next event. For personal reasons I think.

He can't make it because he's dripping with perfection.

Sir...

What?

Keep in mind that your answer is already determined.

- Don't forget. - Don't worry. I'll kick him to the curb.

Hello. It's good you've come.

She's pretty.

Isn't she?

I'm sorry, but I have a headache.

But why isn't she smiling?

Ooh...Chief!

She seems too nervous.

- Sit down for a minute. - Yes?

- OK, I'll sit for a little bit. - Sure.

- Have you ever been dumped? - Yes?

Say someone has liked you all this time. But you didn't like her back.

And then one day you open your heart to her,

But then POW!

She dumps you. Has that happened to you?

Does she not like your Majesty?

No.

I'll be the one dumping her.

You will spend 4 days and 3 nights here having private meetings with the Crown Prince's family.

We have barred reporters from coming here, so please relax and enjoy your stay.

If you want to call your home country, you may use this cellphone.

At 3:30 you will be having tea with the prince.

The court ladies will help you get ready.

Court ladies?

I don't need any help!

We will send 10 of the palace's stylists and make-up artists to get you ready.

There are hundreds of pictures in here, but not a single one is pretty.

Focus! You need to dump him as coldly as a blizzard blowing from Mt. Baekdu!

It's been a while since we last met, so why don't you at least look me in the eye?

I'm not here to see an animal.

I came here to see tangerines.

In the DPRK, we don't... have tangerines, you see.

Long time no see.

How have you been?

Ah, but why is Comrade Lee Jae Ha-- no, I mean the prince--

Why is the prince keeping her for so long?

Because he loves her.

Love.

No, no...

Are you eating military rations?

I've told you before...doughnuts are meant to be eaten with hot coffee.

What were you thinking giving that speech in the soccer stadium?

You said you love me?

How can a prince tell such lies in front of his people?

You shouldn't drag other people into your jokes--

Who said I was joking?

Fine.

Do you think it's easy for a prince to stand in front of a huge crowd and say that?

Love?

I'm not good at expressing such sentimental emotions. However--

So is that why you shot me?

Because you loved me so much?

Fine.

How could you possibly know...how much my emotions were mixed up when I shot you?

Still, let's have dinner together.

People will be watching us.

Did you hear, by any chance?

- Yeom Dong Ha told me-- - Please give this to him.

Look!

When did he take this photo?

This isn't it.

- Oh my gosh... - What's wrong? It was fine.

The timing was too perfect!

They were looking at the picture, and I came in as if on cue and snatched it too quickly.

What was I thinking?

Everything was going smoothly until that picture...

I told you we shouldn't do that!

Cellphone picture?

Who would fall for such an old-fashioned trick?

He really liked you!

He didn't know it during training, but upon his return,

he suddenly realized that you were stuck in his heart.

I'm sorry for saving your picture on my cellphone without your knowledge.

But to me, you've always looked like this.

- Have you arrived? - Yes, Father.

What about the prince?

I don't know...he's been saying some cheesy things to me...

Make sure you put your foot down.

Show him who's boss, got it?

Yes? OK...I got it.

Good.

Stand in an orderly line.

No, you guys look too stiff. Look more relaxed.

Yes, like that.

What's up with the balloons? Are we celebrating a baby's birthday or something?

Wow, he's really serious about this.

Put heart-shaped doughnuts here instead!

Wait, wait, wait!

Are you at some cheap lunch buffet?

Put more emotion into it! Enough to make a woman cry!

Don't you know what our purpose is?

Change the song. Change it!

How is it? Is it OK?

It's like a wedding reception!

That's exactly what I'm talking about! A party on a grand, palatial scale!

What are we gonna do?

Hang Ah gets excited when she sees even a sad little golf course in Pyongyang.

If she sees this, she'll probably faint!

She's coming.

Get ready.

I come bringing a message...

...from Kim Hang Ah.

I...

have no feelings for Lee Jae Ha.

I will not be engaged to him.

I wish to spend the rest of my stay apart from him.

Please take note of that.

That is all.

As the South Koreans would say, "Be cool about it!"

It's the end. It's over.

I'm South Korean royalty.

Now, I can't leave it at the fact that you've dumped me.

What did you do to her?

Do you think you're fooling anyone by dressing like that?

However, your Majesty wasn't so classy at the time either.

Do you like her that much?

That Hang Ah girl?

Do you know that feeling? When something in your head goes--

- Snap! - Exactly! I was going crazy! Mad!

I've thought about improving my fortune by marrying the prince.

- Has your Majesty really fallen for her-- - Can you be my secret mistress?

- Do you like me or not? - Hang Ah...

What are you going to do?
