ALL CHARACTERS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS, AND INCIDENTS

PORTRAYED IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

Oh, my goodness!

How dare you?

-You darn punk. -Come here.

-How dare you? -My gosh, please stop.

-Enough. -Do not hurt me.

I am a human being.

Shut your mouth. You are no better than an animal.

Just because you are wearing a nice outfit does not mean you are human!

"A nice outfit"?

-Vice-Curator Yeon. -Why...

Did you drink?

Who is this?

Yes, I did.

I finally met the woman of my dreams,

so how could I not drink?

By the way,

where do you keep your winged clothes?

My gosh, I should just...

-Sun-nyeo. -Sun-nyeo.

He tends to lose his memory when he gets drunk.

It looks like he lost his life.

He got drunk and tripped,

and we just happened to find him here.

Right. Okay.

I will go along with that.

Why do you keep glancing at me?

I know everything.

Know what?

I know why you utterly refused to join us in the water.

What? How...

To be honest, I am also just like you.

What? You are just like me?

It is okay

to have small breasts.

-What? -What matters is your heart.

Do not let yourself get intimidated just because you have small breasts.

You need to be confident, okay?

My heart... You're right.

The corpse disappeared?

WE FOLLOWED AND POISONED HIM

Yes.

It was gone when they got there.

But I was told that he died.

He pretended to be dead and went after the Muwol Corps.

Then is he at the widow village?

But men aren't allowed in there.

He could be at the kisaeng house or hiding somewhere nearby.

Tell them to search everywhere.

What happened to His Majesty's vassal at the island?

They were sent to other places.

Only the Muwol Corps remains.

So our secret is safe with us.

What about those who ran away from the island?

The widows across the country will start looking for them.

So it will not take long.

We need to find every single one of them. Do you understand?

Yes, master.

You have such a tenacious life.

Why did you have to show up again?

Why now?

What? You saw whom?

Jung Yun-jeo. I am sure it was him.

I went there to help the people in need,

and you have no idea how startled I was when I saw him.

Yun-jeo died during the war.

Exactly.

That is why I looked again to check.

But it was definitely him.

You were probably mistaken.

You should not say that to other people.

People will think you are talking nonsense.

His Majesty actually seemed very happy to hear about him.

You told His Majesty already?

Yes, of course.

Just like you,

His Majesty was also very good friends with him.

Are you okay?

Once we reach the shore, I will head to Hanyang.

-I want you to stay with General Hwang-- -No.

The assassins came after your trip to the mainland.

If you go to Hanyang, they will chase after you again.

Where is the drugstore?

-Excuse me. Where is the drugstore? -Go that way.

Are you not Jung Yun-jeo?

No, you must be mistaken.

It's me, Lee In-woo.

We fought together during the Japanese invasion.

But I heard you died back then.

How is this possible?

I told you you are mistaken!

I should have been more careful.

-But you do not need to worry-- -Do you really think

the secret will stay hidden forever as long as you bring Nok-du back?

You should get some sleep.

My goodness, I have not visited my hometown in ages.

It is deep in the mountains,

so it will be hard to find you.

Thank you. And I am sorry that I put you through this.

My goodness.

Why would you apologize?

We are going to be in-laws in the future.

Is that not right?

Jung Yun-jeo was not there?

No, Your Majesty.

I searched the Kangryang Harbor and nearby islands,

but he was nowhere to be found.

I think he was mistaken.

Is that so?

I thought my old friend had died during the Japanese invasion,

so I was excited to find out he is still alive.

But what a pity.

You may go now.

Are you going to sleep wearing that?

Your clothes are all wet.

Then

can you give me a towel?

Can you also lend me a pair of underpants that you do not wear?

Can you wait outside until I finish getting changed?

My gosh, you ask for so many things.

I really hate people like you.

You should know how to take care of yourself.

Wait.

Can you get me a cup of warm water?

She does not even know that I saved her life.

That blanket is mine. This is yours.

Oh, really?

-Then you can use mine. -I do not want to.

Then can you wait outside? I will--

My gosh, let us just go to bed.

Gosh, will you stop that?

What? Stop what?

Stop taking off your clothes without telling me.

Will you please give me a heads up?

Why don't I just tell everyone in the marketplace in advance?

It is basic manners to get changed outside, is it not?

Hey, listen to me. This is my room.

So you want me to wait outside when you get changed

and go outside again when I need to get changed?

Do not touch me.

Hey, what--

If you think about it, this room belongs to Madam Chun,

not you.

If you hate me so much, why not just sleep outside?

If I sleep outside,

my face will be paralyzed.

Stop it.

Hey, if you sleep here, your face will be paralyzed.

Whatever. I am not going home.

This island is too small to run away from home.

Are you not sick of doing this?

Go home. Mom will be worried.

She is worried about you, too.

Let us go back inside.

Do you really think so?

It is not like I ran away to the mainland.

You were sick, so I got on the fishing boat instead.

Dad did not have to cause a huge fuss about it.

Nok-du.

Dad has a reason behind everything.

You know that, right?

Then why can he not just tell me the reason?

Then I will give up or do something about it.

Hey, are you really going to give up moving to the mainland

and becoming a general?

Seriously...

No.

-What is wrong? -What is this?

-Nok-du. -What is it?

Look at my face.

My gosh, what is your problem?

If you sleep here, you will look like this.

-I am not going home. -Let us go.

-Gosh, let's go. -No, I am not going.

-Oh, gosh! -What is wrong?

-My goodness. -What is the matter?

Look at my face.

My gosh.

-Come on. Let us go home. -Okay, let me stay for a bit longer.

Gosh, forget it.

-Your face will be paralyzed. -Whatever.

-It will be paralyzed. -I do not care.

That cannot be.

I saw him collapse with my own two eyes.

If he drank that poison, he would have died on the spot.

The fact that he is still alive means he fooled us on purpose.

Was there not a guy who got kicked out

while trying to enter our village?

There are tons of jerks who try to enter our village.

That was the day that Deul-re came back.

-Do you think-- -I will kill him right now.

This is not just your mission anymore.

We all need to get involved.

Let us stick to the orders.

You should apologize for bumping into me.

You darn brat.

BREWERY

As you all know,

we failed to accomplish our last mission for the first time.

But those people were not corrupt officials or aristocrats.

So why did we need to kill them?

She is right. It was very unlikely of us.

Who gave us such orders?

Only our boss knows the answer to that.

-My goodness. -Who could it be?

Only the boss knows?

Who is their boss?

What's important is that one of those guys

followed us to the widow village.

He will probably try to enter the village when it is dark.

So we should stand guard for the village and the kisaeng house.

The Virtuous Women Corps are already protecting the village.

He is a very skilled man.

The Virtuous Women Corps take turns patrolling the village.

But they're not trained in martial arts, so we will need to help.

Search all the places where he might be hiding.

And check the kisaeng house extra carefully

since lots of people come and go there.

Here is a composite sketch Deul-re drew.

-"A composite sketch"? -Memorize what he looks like.

I will leave you to it. I need to go to meet our boss.

What are you doing there?

Do you not need to meet the boss?

Yes. I just thought I heard something.

It was probably me.

Do you think so? Okay then. See you.

Who...

This way!

Are you the new widow?

Where are you coming from?

It is very late.

I woke up because of the noise.

So I went outside to take a walk.

What noise?

My roommate talks in her sleep way too much.

Dong-ju?

I heard she turns even nastier when she gets drunk.

I do not think I will ever be drinking with her...

But

where are you two coming from dressed like this?

We sometimes help out with the work.

It helps us make some extra money. Am I right?

I will be off then.

I should have seen their boss.

What is wrong?

Nothing.

An unknown man showed up

at the widow village last night and caused a huge uproar.

My goodness, a man tried to enter the widow village?

Yes. He must have done something terrible

seeing that the widows are after him.

I hope they catch him.

Whoever that guy is, he is one terrible punk.

Here.

Hey.

Hwa-su, who is he?

You must have never seen him before.

He is Joseon's best--

Swordsman?

Pushover.

He is Joseon's best pushover.

He is Lord Cha's friend,

and he is extremely loyal to Lord Cha.

He is the best pushover ever.

Gosh, I thought he came to relay the royal command or something.

Unbelievable.

It is sweet and cold.

Have a bite before it melts.

Here.

She could have at least tried a bite.

My gosh, you startled me.

Okay.

It tastes good.

It is very sweet and cold.

Gosh, if only he had not bumped into me...

Darn it.

In order to kill him,

I will just have to enter the palace.

Let's beard the lion in his den.

Excuse...

I am never going to the kisaeng house again.

The kisaeng house? Why?

I went there earlier to give them the wine we made.

And some guy suddenly held my hand.

Why? Why did he do that?

So I got startled and pushed his hand away.

And he told me

that he mistook me for Hwa-su.

The beautiful kisaeng?

The kisaeng who gets everything thanks to her pretty face?

The really charming one?

Is she charming?

I think her skin is too pale to be attractive.

What do you ladies think?

Do I really look that similar?

Yes, you do.

I get why he was confused.

My gosh, I am not that happy about it.

Well, too bad.

You will have to bear with your beauty.

What is going on?

Unbelievable. Have you all gone blind?

What?

You do not need to worry.

You really do not need to worry at all.

I am sorry someone mistook you

for someone you do not like.

But here is what I think.

Hwa-su has a high nose,

and crescent moon shaped eyebrows.

But as for you,

you have a big nose

and your eyebrows are thick

like pine caterpillars, and that makes you look more cheerful.

You look nothing like her.

I have a big nose?

Yes. On top of that, Hwa-su is too pale.

Her skin should be darker like yours in order to seem strong.

Right?

"Dark"?

Hey!

Who are you?

Are you here as a judge or what?

I should have introduced myself first.

I am Lady Kim from Hanyang.

Whatever.

Who do you think you are?

How dare you call my nose big?

You look like a weasel that is drowning in water!

A weasel.

"A weasel"?

-Are you serious? -What is wrong?

You got to say everything you wanted, so why can I not?

-Help me! -I will kill you

and kill myself afterward!

Oh, my goodness!

-You little weasel! -Gosh, that's enough.

-You need to stop. -Get off me!

Gosh, it is hot!

My gosh, my hands!

-Are you okay? -Stop it!

Gosh, my butt!

My goodness, they hurt so much.

Oh, gosh.

Gosh, it stings.

It is raining so viciously.

Just like that night

when Yun-jeo died.

Leave.

I will say the baby died, and you buried him

and that you fell into the water after I stabbed you.

So live like you do not exist.

Like you do not exist.

INN

I need to meet Yun.

I really do not understand.

She was upset about it, so I just wanted to help.

Do you really think that helped?

I mean, she was upset to hear that she looked like Hwa-su.

So I honestly told her that she does not look like Hwa-su at all.

Lady Kim.

-You do not have any friends, do you? -What?

You are from an aristocrat's family, so I bet you were surrounded by servants.

Should I give you a tip on how you should have reacted?

Yes.

-For free? -What?

So here is what you need to do.

"Really?" "No way."

-Can not believe what? -Do not try to be reasonable.

"My goodness, really?

You look just like her. I cannot believe it."

That is how you need to react from now on.

I really do not get what you mean.

There is something you cannot say yourself,

so you want someone else to say it for you.

You just need to chime in and listen to her talk.

How could you not know? You are a woman.

My gosh, you are being absurd.

I am not done eating.

Lady Kim, can you help me with this before you go?

Will you stop taking your clothes off wherever you go?

But this is my room.

Take off the bandage and get changed yourself.

I cannot help you get changed.

-Lady Kim. -What?

I cannot sleep without a pillow.

Do you not think you are being too mean?

I need your help.

My gosh, you ask for so many things.

I really hate people like you.

You should know how to take care of yourself.

Okay, fine.

I will stop asking you for help.

What am I doing?

At this rate, every woman here will end up hating me.

"Really?" "No way."

This really is unbelievable.

My gosh.

What are you doing?

It started itching because I could not get changed.

No... It is not...

What?

Just a little...

Will you say it louder?

Just a little to the side.

And scratch harder.

Yes, that is right.

Yes, right there.

Just a bit more to the side.

A little lower than that.

Yes, that feels nice.

A little lower.

Gosh, that is it.

Just a bit lower. Just a bit more.

Why did she suddenly stop?

My gosh.

I forgot Lady Kim got a burn as well.

It must hurt.

Lady Kim.

I guess she is tired.

What kind of atrocious behavior is this?

How dare you do this, you animal?

Have you no fear of God?

I wanted to put some medicinal herb on you

since you also got a burn. I figured your butt might hurt.

My butt? Ointment?

How could a woman do that to another woman?

I do not get it.

Gosh, I am very taken aback.

This is extremely upsetting.

What is upsetting?

"Checkmate."

You forgot to say that, Your Majesty.

I completely forgot.

Then this one does not count as well. Let us play again.

It is late now.

Should you not go back to the palace?

We have a lot of time before the morning comes.

Do you still have trouble going to bed, Your Majesty?

Yes.

So please do not kick me out.

How could I ever dare?

Do not say that, Your Majesty.

Yun-jeo

was very good at playing this game.

Every time I asked him to go back a move,

he never even budged.

He was a very resolute man.

Yes, he was.

Remember the day Yun-jeo died?

You said that he died after he buried his son, right?

Yes, that is what happened, Your Majesty.

And then, he was killed

by your sword?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Okay.

I know you already told me this.

I should not have asked.

It cannot be a lie. There is no way you would ever lie to me.

Let us take a short break.

I am tired.

I do not think the local functionary

was mistaken about what he saw.

Keep looking for Jung Yun-jeo.

Yes, Your Majesty.

"Really?" "No way."

"My gosh, really?" "No..."

Wait.

Lady Kim.

Ouch.

Lady Kim, I heard you got a burn.

-Yes. -My goodness.

Here you go.

It is for scars.

I also got hurt a few days ago because I tripped in the mountains,

so I got this from a physician.

It is an ointment.

Oh, okay.

Thank you.

What...

Why did you have to like a woman like me?

Where did you get injured?

Let me apply it for you.

-Here. -No, not there!

You are a pervert.

No, it is not like that.

It's just...

I am only bleeding because my scars got infected!

I should stay out of her sight.

BREWERY

It is me.

What are you doing?

Why would you do the laundry with those hands?

They are a lot better now. Give it back.

If you do not let them heal properly, they might get infected.

I told you to stay away from my butt.

I am fine.

Sit on this.

Otherwise, it might get infected.

You do laundry pretty well for someone who must have had a comfortable life.

I am only helping for today. There will not be a next time.

You say that now,

but I bet you will help me again.

That is nonsense.

If your wound gets infected, I will be the one who gets busy.

I am only helping because I have to.

My gosh.

When did you go to see a physician?

I never met a physician.

I just found it on my way here.

Sure. Whatever.

But I have to say, this does not feel too bad.

What?

To have someone care for me.

It reminds me of the past.

No one would help you so devotedly like I do.

I am practically like your mom.

Exactly.

By the way,

you must have had a great mother.

Yes, she was great. Very great.

I am jealous that you have a lot of good memories of your mother.

No, those memories make me feel miserable.

Because they always remind me of her.

What kind of mother did you have?

My mom?

Mom.

Dad will soon be here with the medicine.

Hang in there just a little longer.

My son.

Yes, I am right here.

I am sorry you had to live like this.

You are such a precious child.

I am so sorry

you had to live a life like this, I-hyeong.

What?

Listen to me carefully.

Your name

is not Hwang-tae.

It is Jung...

I...

Mom!

Hwang-tae! Hwang-tae, come over here!

Mom.

It is all because of you.

If it had not been for you,

my son...

My family...

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom!

She was a kind person.

She had to live a sad and pitiful life.

Does your butt not hurt?

Should I put some ointment on it?

My gosh, stop it.

By the way...

Yes?

Can I treat you like a sister?

I mean, if you don't mind, that is.

Why? Do you not want a younger sister?

-No, I don't. -What?

Because I am not your sister.

Oh, well...

I was born in the year of the lamb. Are you younger than me?

I thought she was born in the year of the snake.

The year of the snake?

By the year of the snake, I had already mastered the Cheonjamun

and memorized all of Four Books and Five Classics!

I mean,

it is not like I wanted to treat you

like my sister no matter what.

I should go now. I have something to take care of.

My gosh, what is her problem?

I am busy, too.

Am I crazy? What is wrong with me?

I wonder if she saw me blush.

So what if she did?

Why did she have to say such nonsense?

Darn it.

Bok-nyeo?

-What in the world is-- -Be quiet.

That shaman over there is praying for all the widows

who died wrongful deaths.

If you roam around like this, you will be in big trouble.

What big trouble?

The vengeful spirits are all across the village.

So you should not open the door or turn on the lights.

-What? -Let us go to my house for now.

Some widows even disappeared after they just ignored the warning.

So do not...

Hey!

Lady Kim!

A man?

What? What happened?

A darn drunk did this.

My gosh, you reek of alcohol.

I will get you some new clothes. You should take a shower.

You are the best.

My gosh, you're getting it on me as well.

I want the jade green one. You know what it is, right?

Just wear whatever I give you.

My gosh, that hurts.

Lady Kim.

Gosh, you startled me.

I thought a pervert was taking a peep at the kisaeng house.

What? I'm not a pervert.

What brings you here? You said you had something to take care of.

My gosh.

We cannot disturb the guests.

Okay.

Lady Kim, I asked you why you are here.

What?

I was looking for scissors,

and someone told me to look here.

Why do you need scissors?

Then you should have opened the door.

-Why did you make holes-- -Well...

What do you want?

I wanted to cut your hair.

Why cut my hair all of a sudden?

I felt bad seeing you walk around like a filthy beggar.

-Close your eyes. -Why?

I don't want hair going into your eyes.

My gosh, why would you poke my eyes like that?

My gosh, they hurt so much.

My goodness.

-Is he here? -Yes.

I think he is hiding somewhere in here.

Just make them even.

You do not need to be so careful.

It is your precious hair.

So it is only right for me to be careful.

Then why did you put on a straight face

when I asked you if I could treat you like a sister?

Something is on your chin.

Ouch.

I am bleeding, am I not?

Look. Is it bleeding?

No!

Well...

What are you doing?

You do not need to look into a mirror.

You are being weird.

-Give me that. -No.

You are being weird. Give it to me.

-No. -Let me see how I look.

No.

-My gosh, let me see. -No!

-No. -My gosh, come on.

My goodness!

Ouch!

I am on my way to the bathroom.

Okay, I will go back inside.

That is great.

What are you doing here?

I told you not to go anywhere!

Stop right there. I will not let you leave.

Stay right beside me.

Dong-ju?

I heard she is old enough.

She may be of age, but she's still...

I'm the one who gets to decide, not you.

Dong-ju!

How much did you hear?

That you are planning to kill someone?

You heard it correctly.
