You are still the same.

Your face shows traces
of the time that has passed.

No human can get away from aging.

You measly beings
can't even last 100 years,

and yet you struggle
as if you can live for 1,000 years.

I feel sorry for you, humans.

By the way, why did you come back?

Did you really become an evil spirit?

Let me ask you something
before I answer your question.

I met a very strange boy
in the woods today.

He was not a human or a mystical creature.

He was hideous.

He had your bracelet.

Who is he?

Who is he?

Did he forget about it?

It's Kang-chi.

Pardon me.

Kang-chi!

You're late.

Yeo-ul?

It's you?

Why...

are you dressed like that?

What?

I sometimes wear clothes like this.

Why?

Is this outfit strange?

Yes.

How so?

It's...

very strange.

Where are you going?

You said I look strange.

I'm sure you don't want
to be with a strange girl.

That's not what I meant.

Then what did you mean?

It's...

It's what?

It's just very unlike you.

You look like a different person.

So you look strange.

That's what I meant.

This is me, too.

Fine.

Don't get upset.

I don't know what I am doing with you.

Where are you going now?

It's the lantern festival.

We need to go and buy a wish lamp.

MAY CHOI KANG-CHI FIND THE GU FAMILY BOOK

What do you think?

Do you like it?

It's nice. It's perfect.

By the way, where is your wish lamp?

I hung it up just now.

But isn't that my wish lamp?

What are you saying? That's my wish lamp.

I want you to find the Gu Family Book soon
and become a human.

That's my wish.

Stop staring at me.

Your gaze will pierce through my face.

What?

Right.

MAY CHOI KANG-CHI FIND THE GU FAMILY BOOK

-Well done.
-Bravo.

You are amazing.

-Well done.
-Well done.

What did you think?

That's what you wanted to see.

That is Cheon Su-ryeon's drum dance.

Are you satisfied with it?

It's terrible.

Perhaps

she was once quite good,

but she became

embarrassingly unattractive and old.

Should I tell him what you said?

There is no need.

I apologize.

I tried my best,

but I failed to please you, my lady.

What is she talking about, Jae-ryeong?

Did Lady Miyamoto say
that she didn't like the drum dance?

She said that it was terrible.

-What?
-How could she be so rude?

-What is she saying?
-How could she say such a thing?

Oh, my goodness. What do we do?

How can the mighty Madam Cheon
be openly criticized?

This is so insulting.

Don't you agree, my lord?

She's exactly right.

Like what Wol-seon said,
it's indeed a huge insult.

So tell us, Lady Miyamoto.

-What was so terrible about it?
-Cheong-jo.

She hasn't played the drum for ten years,

and yet the drum sound was great enough
to pierce through our hearts.

Her dance was more elegant and delicate
than a crane's movement.

Exactly which part did you not like?

Which part? Why did you not like it?

I apologize.

She's still young, so she is not familiar
with the rules of being a courtesan.

That's why she is acting immature.

-Please forgive--
-You are wrong.

The drum sound was filled with emptiness.

Her dance didn't convey any spirit.

It's because the dancer
didn't have her whole heart in it.

That's why I could
only describe it as terrible.

Do you disagree?

Well, then...

Excuse us.

You ruined my banquet quite nicely.

Didn't you?

Forgive me.

I ambitiously prepared
the banquet for Lady Miyamoto.

I am deeply sorry for ruining the fun.

It's fine.

Lady Miyamoto enjoyed it.

Did she?

By the way, I had no idea Lady Miyamoto
could speak the Joseon language so well.

She studied it for a long time
with late Lord Miyamoto.

I taught her some as well.

Without having a clue,

I almost thought that Lady Miyamoto...

might be from Joseon.

Well, then,

excuse us.

Of course.

My lord.

What is it?

Madam Cheon is here to see you.

What brings you here?

I came to apologize
about what happened at the banquet.

Is it time for you
to step down from the position?

Why couldn't you keep a young courtesan
under your control?

And how could you half-heartedly perform
the dance in front of an important guest?

I apologize.

It will not happen again.

You shouldn't ask me for forgiveness.

You should apologize to the leader
of the troops of Gung-bon.

It's too late now.

You should come back when the day breaks
and apologize to her.

The lantern festival must have begun.

It's so beautiful.

MAY MY PARENTS AND FAMILY STAY HEALTHY
AND MAY THE CENTURY HOUSE THRIVE

What did you wish for this year,
Young Master?

Me?

I wished for my parents and family
to stay healthy and...

-"May the Century House thrive."
-"May the Century House thrive."

How can you wish for exactly
the same thing every year?

It's because that's my most precious wish.

You should write one more sentence there.

"May I meet a beautiful bride
and marry her."

I wrote that wish down for him, Kang-chi.

I can't let my only brother
become an old bachelor.

-Don't you agree, Gop-dan?
-Of course, I do.

You guys are so naughty.

Stop there.

Cheong-jo.

-What are you doing?
-I am sorry.

Look at this courtesan.

Are you seducing me to drink with you?

Is that it?

You are very drunk.

Let go of her hand and be on your way.

My gosh. You are beautiful, aren't you?

You are beautiful.

Say that to your wife at home.

Or just go to sleep.

Gosh.

Damn it.

HOUSE OF PLEASURE

Are you still scared of me?

Are you still scared
because of how I looked the other time?

I am sorry I didn't tell you earlier.

I didn't know how to explain it.

That's why I hesitated.

Does she know, too?

The lady named Dam Yeo-ul
who was standing next to you.

Does she know that side of you?

Yes.

I see.

Cheong-jo.

Thank you for your help.

If you drop by the House of Pleasure,
I will repay you with drinks.

Cheong-jo, how can you--

I am a courtesan,
so I want to repay you with drinks.

What is wrong with that?

Don't say that.

No matter what you wear
and where you live, you will always be

Park Cheong-jo to me.

So don't act like you are not yourself.

Don't talk like that. Do you hear me?

Are you saying

I shouldn't act like this
when I am in fact a courtesan?

Like someone who lives like a human
when he is, in fact, a monster?

What do you think is more difficult?

Is it harder to accept fate?

Or is it harder to deny it?

Did you escort her back to the house?

I did.

You're back

to the person I know.

Right.

Let's go.

I knew it.

She's the most precious person
to you, isn't she?

And that will never change.

That's what she means to you, right?

I mean Lady Cheong-jo.

I am sorry.

I guess I asked you
a difficult question again.

I am hungry.

Since it's already morning,
should we go for some rice soup?

What? They stayed out all night?

Yes. They stayed out.

You mean Kang-chi and Yeo-ul?

Yes.

It seems like they didn't
come home last night.

I am going to kill him!

Restrain him.

-Calm down, Gon.
-Don't stop me.

I am going to kill Choi Kang-chi!

They will both die
if Master Dam hears about it.

Kang-chi won't be punished alone.

Yeo-ul may get punished, too.

You're all here.

Master.

Yes.

Good morning, Master Dam.

Is something wrong?

Wrong? There is nothing wrong.

I was just warming up with Gon.

Right, Gon?

Yes, Master.

Gon, is Yeo-ul still not up?

I think...

I made her run an errand for me
early in the morning.

Did you? How about Kang-chi?

I made him go with Yeo-ul.

Right, Gon?

Yes, Master.

Please tell her I want to see her
as soon as she comes back.

I'll do that.

Well done. You were very patient.

Gon!

Instructor Gon!

What is it? What's going on?

Kim...

Kim was...

Where did you send Yeo-ul and Kang-chi to?

Where are those two?

Do you want to eat mine, too?

Why? Aren't you hungry?

It's too early. I don't have the appetite.

But you should eat a good breakfast.

Lady! I'm canceling the order
for the two soups.

I just lost my appetite

because of this trashy bastard.

Trashy bastard?

Hey.

Are you referring to us?

He repaid grace with murder,

so that makes him a trashy bastard.

He's right.

What? Who repaid grace with murder?

-That's enough. Stop it.
-What?

We have to tell them that it's not true.

Until when will you stay misunderstood
and live like a criminal?

It's true that Master Park died
because of me.

It's also true that I failed to stop it.

Even if they blame me and curse me,
I have nothing to say.

If we only consider the end result,

it's true that I failed
to protect Master Park.

Don't ever show up in the village again.

Protect the back of your head
when you walk on the streets, all right?

Yeo-ul!

You should be careful when you speak.

-How dare you...
-Do you want to die?

I get it, so you should stop now.

Why is it so loud early in the morning?

Look who's here. It's Choi Kang-chi.

-You are alive.
-Of course, I am alive.

By the way, what are you doing here
so early in the morning?

Didn't you hear him?

Bong-chul is asking
what you are doing here.

You impatient bastard.

I am not talking to him.
I am talking to these guys.

What?

How dare you come to my area
so early in the morning

and talk bullshit

to my precious friend Kang-chi?

You rude little bastards

are as measly as a dog's feet!

You're still standing there?

Do you want me to hit you?

Goodness, my dear friend.

Didn't you get an upset stomach?

Kang-chi.

Are you ill? He's Choi Kang-chi.

How dare you call him by his name?

From now on, make sure
to call him respectfully.

If you don't,

I will sew up your mouth.

Bong-chul, why are you doing this?
You are acting strangely.

Gosh, Kang-chi.

Why are you so shy?

I am just a nobody who lives off
the people at the market.

But I am not a bastard
who is ungrateful to his life savior.

Life savior? What is he talking about?

It's nothing.

Just keep your mouth shut, will you?

Of course, I will.

If you tell me to keep my mouth shut,
I will keep my mouth shut tight.

You are my life savior.

Whenever you're in trouble, call me.

Whenever you call me,
no matter where I am or what is going on,

I will come at once
and settle the situation.

Okay?

Bye, Kang-chi.

I will see you soon.

You must be happy, Kang-chi.
You have such a thoughtful friend.

My head hurts.

Gon, what are you doing here?

Master is urgently looking for you.

My father?

Did he find out
that I stayed out all night?

Did he find out about Kang-chi too?

No way.

Did he find out about both of us?

Something happened

to Kim.

What?

Something happened? What?

What are you trying to do?

I need to see it with my eyes.
Let me see him.

Answer my question first.

Where were you last night
and what did you do?

What are you all doing?

How can you act so rude to someone
who came to mourn for his friend?

Even if it's rude, we need to know.

Answer me. What did you do last night?

He was with me all night.

You were with Kang-chi all night long?

What do you mean?

We went to the lantern festival.

We looked at the lanterns on the streets
all night.

Are you out of your mind?

Everyone is on alert for fear
that Cho Gwan-ung's knife

will point at the commander,
but what did you do?

You went to the lantern festival?

Since Kang-chi joined the training center,

he hasn't gotten along
with the other members.

I felt bad that he was always
misunderstood and shunned.

Why do you care so much about Kang-chi?

-Father.
-Why can't you understand your father?

Until now,

you have never made a wrong judgment
nor you have done anything wrong.

That's why I've always trusted you

and respected your thoughts, but--

But you neither trust nor respect

my judgment and thoughts
regarding Kang-chi, is that it?

You've greatly disappointed me this time.

I am sorry, Father.

-But--
-Stop right there.

That's enough. Don't talk anymore.

Master.

Yes, Tae-seo. What is it?

I've made up my mind.

Did you think about it carefully?

What happened today made me realize
that I shouldn't delay things any longer.

Do you think Trainee Kim's death
was Cho Gwan-ung's doing?

I heard Cho Gwan-ung knows
Kang-chi's identity.

By committing such a horrible murder,

he must be planning to drive Kang-chi
and the training center to a corner.

I will go to the Century House.

Tell me what to do.

I am Madam Cheon
from the House of Pleasure.

Have a seat.

What brings you here?

I came to apologize
for my young courtesan's bad conduct

at last night's banquet.

You've been at the House of Pleasure
for quite a long time.

It's been nearly 22 to 23 years.

Oh, 22 to 23 years.

I see.

Actually, your drum dance

was absolutely touching.

You haven't danced for ten years,
and yet you managed to dance so perfectly.

You are truly gifted.

Then why did you say--

I heard you never
meet with someone privately.

I heard you never respond
to personal invitations.

That's why

I said unreasonable complaints
despite knowing that I was being rude.

That was the only way
I could make you visit me.

Then, you were the one who was being rude.

I apologize.

No.

That won't be necessary.

I will get going, then.

Can you invite me

to the House of Pleasure one day?

Unfortunately, the House of Pleasure
is forbidden for ordinary women.

It's not a place where a lady
like you can come for fun.

What if I still wanted to visit?

There are two ways for a woman
to enter the House of Pleasure.

Either you become a courtesan

or you become the owner
of the House of Pleasure.

Well, then...

Either become a courtesan

or become the owner, you say.

Where have I seen her?

Who are you talking about?

The leader of the troops of Gung-bon.

She looks somewhat familiar.

I am certain that I know her.

Should I look into her background?

You must act discretely and carefully.

Don't forget that we still have to
get on their good side.

Don't worry, my lord.

Where have I seen her?

HONOR IN WAR, JUSTICE IN JUDGMENT

I've called you here
because I have something to tell you.

Tae-seo will be leaving
the training center for a while.

He will leave the training center?

Where will he go?

He will go to the Century House.

Tae-seo.

Someone has to get close to Cho Gwan-ung

and find out what he is really planning.

You mean you're going to do that task?

Cho Gwan-ung still doesn't know
that I was freed from the hypnosis.

Please send me instead. I'll go.

That's not possible.

Have you forgotten that he still holds
the commander's written oath?

-Master.
-So you should focus on

Gongdal's assignment for now.

That's your priority.

Even Kim died.

People keep dying in the woods.

And we still don't know who is behind it.

Gon will investigate it.

Did you hear that, Gon?

Yes, Master.

And Yeo-ul.

Yes, Father.

As soon as Tae-seo returns
safely from this mission,

you will marry him.

Master.

Father, it's too sudden.

Why did you suddenly bring it up?

It's not sudden at all.

Mu-sol and I have arranged it
a long time ago.

But Father...

So you must not act rashly from now on.

You will no longer attend
any of the training.

From this day forth, you must reflect

on fulfilling all the duties of a woman.

I hope all of you will wish
for Tae-seo's safe return.

That would be all.

Did you have to say such a shocking thing?

If I don't draw the line now,

I won't be able to manage
what happens later.

Lady Yeo-ul!

Lady Yeo-ul!

Lady Yeo-ul, it's me.

May I come in?

I'm coming in.

Lady Yeo-ul.

Leave me. I want to be alone.

Go away! Don't come near us!

Go away!

I hate you!

You are pathetic, Park Cheong-jo.

You told him to go away.

You called him a monster.

Cheong-jo, a guest has come.

Come in.

Lady Cheong-jo.

Gop-dan.

She's my gift to you.

I was ordered to serve you starting today.

Since I gave you a gift,

you should repay me.

Come and pour me a drink.

How is she a gift?

What is she then?

She was originally mine,
but you took her away from me.

What did I tell you?

I told you. She's shameless and daring.

What can I give you to make you happy?

Will you return the Century House,
which you took away from me?

I will feel better if you do that.

How dare you say such an impertinent--

But before that,
get rid of that girl next to you.

I think I would feel a little better then.

My lord, until when will you listen
to her rude words?

Leave.

Did you not hear her?

Cheong-jo wants me to get rid of you.

Leave.

How can you

treat me like this, my lord?

-How could you--
-I told you to leave.

Right.

Will you come and pour me a drink now?

You are holding up better than I expected.

You taught me something.

You said I should do anything to survive.

I did tell you that.

I decided to do that.

I will do whatever it takes to survive,

and I will make sure

to stab your heart and kill you.

Right.

Those are the eyes.

I love them.

Do you?

Great. I will wait for it.

I will wait for the day
you stab my heart with a knife.

I will continue
to keep you by my side and watch you.

Why do you look so worried?

Goodness!

Can you make some noise?

You always startle me.

Are you distracted
because Yeo-ul's marriage

has suddenly been arranged?

That's not it.

How many did you count?

I don't know.

I think I got up to 6,000.

How many did you count
without the bracelet?

Why would you say such a thing?

Why would I take out my bracelet?

I promised the master

that I would never take it off,
not here or wherever people are.

-Did you?
-Of course.

-I see.
-That's right.

Okay.

Keep counting the beans.

By the way, Kang-chi,

is it because of Yeo-ul?

What?

Is she the reason why you don't turn into
a mystical creature without the bracelet?

I see.

Why would such a thing happen?

Why? What is it?

Honestly,

I don't know the reason either.

I don't know why that happens

when Yeo-ul is next to me.

Who are you?

Who are you?

WANGMEI TOWER

Everyone, greet him.

He is Lord Yi Sun-shin,
the commander of Left Jeolla Province.

It's a pleasure to meet you, my lord.
I am Gon with the apricot flower sign.

My goodness.

I finally got the chance to meet you.

I am Gongdal with the bamboo sign.

It's a pleasure, my lord.

Succeeding my father who used to be
the owner of the Century House,

I am Park Tae-seo
with the chrysanthemum sign.

It's a pleasure, my lord.

I am Cheon Su-ryeon with the orchid sign.

The Four Pillars and I
have gathered here today

to pledge that we will assist you,
become like your shadow,

and serve you with loyalty.

Please accept our resolution.

Thank you,

everyone.

However,

the path you will walk with me

might be a thorny path.

It might be a lonely journey

that nobody acknowledges.

How can the path
to making a better country

be an easy path?

Also, how can we tell you

to walk that thorny path alone?

I may be weak,
but if I can be of any help to you,

I will be greatly honored
for the remainder of my life.

I may be lowly,

but I will do my best to be your ears.

I will sacrifice my life

to become your cane.

Please accept our pledge.

You are here.

You said this was my last chance.

You threatened

that my sister would go through
something worse if I fail again.

So did you find out
what Commander Yi Sun-shin plans to do

with those 5,000 silver ingots?

I found out.

What are his plans?

He plans to build a ship.

A ship?

Are you talking about a warship
like a panokseon?

It doesn't seem to be
like an ordinary warship.

What if it's not an ordinary warship?

He's planning to build
an armored ship, the first of its kind.

An armored ship?

Can I tell Cho Gwan-ung that?

Only with such information
will Cho Gwan-ung fall for it.

Does he simply plan to sell
the information to the foreigners?

Or does he have an ambition
that goes beyond that?

You must find that out.

An armored warship?

What on earth is that?

I copied the drawing
at the Left Naval Headquarters.

Who is he?

Who is that boy?

He is Seo-hwa's son.

Seo-hwa?

She's the human woman you married.

Seo-hwa.

Did she have a son?

He's your son, too.

After you became like this,

Seo-hwa gave birth to your son alone.

So?

Where is she now?

She died

shortly after giving birth.

She died?

Yes.

That's a shame.

I wanted to twist her neck
and kill her myself.

Hey, Wol-ryeong.

You asked me why I came back.

I came back to destroy everything.

No, Kang-chi.

What do you mean?
No one has seen Kang-chi?

I went to the pavilion to call him
for dinner, but he wasn't there.

So I tried to look for him,

but I couldn't find him anywhere.

Perhaps he's hiding in the woods again,

hunting humans.

Hey, how can you say that?

You should be careful, too.

You never know when he will attack you.

Don't you remember what Gongdal said?

If you don't have any proof,

you should not slander a person like that.

Why are you and Gongdal
so desperate to stand up for him?

Why do you side with him, and not with us?

Then why do you keep blaming Kang-chi?

Why do you keep shunning him?

He is not human.

He entered the training center
to become a human.

You entered the training center
to live more like a human.

I am not siding with him
because he is Kang-chi.

If you were in his position,

I would also have defended you.

So you just watched Yeo-ul
go into the woods alone?

That's...

She left so fast
that I didn't have time to stop her.

I am so sorry, Master.

-Gon.
-I will go find her.

-Follow me.
-Yes, sir.

Kang-chi.

Choi Kang-chi!

Choi Kang-chi!

Kang-chi!

So-jeong, are you in there?

Are you here, So-jeong?

So-jeong!

So-jeong! What's wrong?

Who did this to you?

Kang-chi.

You should escape.

Run away to the farthest place you can go.

What are you talking about?

Why are you suddenly telling me to escape?
Why should I run away?

What are you talking about?

He appeared.

He is trying to kill you.

"He"? Who do you mean?

Wol-ryeong.

Your father.

Leave right now.

Go to a place where he can't find you.

Hurry and run away.

Hurry, Kang-chi.

Kang-chi.

Is that you?

Who are you?

Show yourself at once.

Kang-chi, help me.

Choi Kang-chi!

Yeo-ul.

Yeo-ul.
