ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS,
AND EVENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS,

AND ARE UNRELATED TO HISTORICAL FACTS

If it's not easy to say it,

how about a hand gesture
that only we know?

Like this.

What is this?

"What I'm saying now is a lie."

That's what it means. Well?

It's not hard, right?

A King never tells a lie.

A little child like her
doesn't deserve this!

The smell of alcohol and a peculiar scent.

She didn't drink poison.

How could you make her drink poison

with these tiny hands?

Her hands are warm. She's alive.

You should let her go now.

Dahm-hyang!

Your Majesty.

Sir.

-You're here.
-Sir.

Here.

It is not right to throw
this child away in the mountains.

I must hold a funeral for her
to feel better.

Have a safe trip back.

Goodbye.

What about Dahm-hyang?

Is she okay?

I am sure she has gotten out
of the palace safely by now.

I pulled her mother out of slavery

and prepared them
to live together outside of Hanyang.

So she's going to meet her mom.

She was worried
that she only had four fingernails.

That's good. That's a relief.

How did you do it?
Did you use sleeping medicine?

I made her drink paralysis powder.

The paralysis powder that Hua Tuo,
the legendary doctor, used for surgeries?

So you know about it.

Of course. I read Three Kingdoms
for Children many times.

A child reading Three Kingdoms…

By the way, you should've told me
about this beforehand!

Since the situation was urgent,
it was dangerous for many people to know.

Is there any news from Captain Hong?

Yes.

He helped the child escape safely.

Well done.

It was reckless to risk so many dangers

for a court maid.

It is not just a court maid.

If I give up on that girl,

it will be easier for me
to give up on ten, hundred,

or even all of the subjects in the future.

I thought Cheoljong was just an idiot,

but it turns out
that he's a complete idiot.

Don't get great ideas like that.
You can't live long if you do.

I do not wish to live long
in a shameful way.

Perfect values to die early with.

He did all of this for--

She means to say "thank you."

The Queen's language
is different from the others'.

The Dictionary of the
Queen's Language is useless.

It's full of mistranslations.

-Did you read it?
-You had it opened up for me to see.

By the way, is the position
of the Queen always this dangerous?

Why is everyone so desperate to get me?

I will make sure
nothing like this will happen again.

No, I'm going to do it my way.

Attack is the best form of defense.

As of today,

I'm the crazy witch of this palace!

EPISODE 15: THE CRAZY BITCH UP IN HERE

TONGMYEONGJEON HALL

Did you try to eliminate
Her Majesty the Queen?

The Queen is on the King's side.

She shared our family's
weaknesses with the King.

She fell for the King
and betrayed the family.

That cannot be.

You just do not wish to believe it.

That the Queen, whom you idolize so much,

is a foolish woman who fell
for a man and lost her senses.

Since becoming a part of this family,

I did everything
for your approval, Father.

But not only to stay in this family.

I wanted to be like you,

and I wanted to look up to you.

But now that you have tried
to harm Her Majesty the Queen,

you are no longer my father.

If anyone tries to harm Her Majesty,

I swear that I will cut their heads off.

We will leave our doors open.

You may not consider me to be your father,

but you will always be my son.

Who could it be?

The one who hid the ledger
in Daejojeon Hall.

The key suspects are

the two people who are enemies
without bearing a grudge.

Queen Dowager Jo and Jo Hwa-jin.

Jo Hwa-jin has a clear motive.

Her determination that day
is a dead giveaway.

But she hasn't even come
near Daejojeon Hall recently.

Queen Dowager Jo had
the means and the opportunity.

Here…

It's suspicious how often
she's around these days.

And she definitely has a clear motive.

Is it Queen Dowager Jo then?

That sly old fox.

But how could she have
gotten her hands on the ledger?

It's truly a mystery.

More importantly,

what the heck is that ledger about?

I did not perform a ritual today.

I apologize for my rudeness last time.

You must have a reason
when you lower your head.

What is the reason?

You sure catch on quickly.

Your Royal Highness.

Thank you for joining me.

I know you are all busy.

As you must have realized
from today's incident,

but this is the time for aristocrats,
rather than families, to survive.

Without lips, your gums would be cold.

If one of the two families falls,

the other will not be sound either.

Therefore,

as a promise of harmony
between the two families,

I suggest a decree of amnesty.

DECREE OF AMNESTY:
GRANTING AMNESTY FOR CERTAIN CRIMINALS

Decree of amnesty?

Both families have talented people

who were dismissed
over a moment's mistake.

So we will grant amnesty
to the talented people with the decree.

It is a symbol of the promise

and a congratulatory gift.

Well,

will you join me?

The Minister of War
has satisfied his greed on his own,

but I, too, have committed the crime
of failing to control him.

Therefore, I, Kim Jwa-geun,

request to retire from the position
of General of Training…

This is not over.

Not as long as I breathe.

Slow down.

Do you have enough food?

I shouldn't be able
to swallow food from shame…

Why did you run away?

I think I have provided
plenty for you all this time.

You see…

Mother?

Mother…

You did great, my Dahm-hyang.

You did well, my dear.

Mother…

It's okay.

It's okay.

We must try to smile in front of her.

We cannot have Her Majesty
being sad forever.

Yes.

Your Majesty, it is time to get up.

Your Majesty.

Could you not sleep last night?

What if your royal body gets damaged?

My mind was racing.

I just couldn't sleep.

By the way, I wonder if they got
a good night's sleep.

Who are you talking about?

The ones who screwed me over.

It was the last night
they could have slept in peace.

They better have.

-Lady-in-waiting Choi.
-Yes.

Send someone to Father

and tell him to come
see me here right now.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty,

your father is here.

Already?

I was actually about to
ask you to come see me.

And you came to me.

Yes.

I came just in time.

-Last time…
-Last time…

You can go ahead first.

No, you first, Your Majesty.

No, you first, Father.

-I am sorry about last time.
-I am sorry about last time.

-No, I am…
-No, I am…

Like father, like daughter.

I know.

I asked to see you

because of the ledger.

Did you know?

Everyone's going crazy over it.

Just what is that ledger about?

It is a ledger with records
of our family's corruption.

The shame of the Ansong Kim family.

So that's why Cheoljong tried to get it.

I am also here
to talk to you about the ledger.

After you and His Majesty stayed
at my house, the ledger disappeared,

so I have been suspecting His Majesty.

But recently, a slave whom I trusted
and cared for ran away.

Thankfully, I caught him
and asked him why,

and he said he let Uibin in the house

the day before the ledger disappeared.

After the house was in a frenzy,
that brat ran away

like a disaster occurred,
so I found out only now…

Goodness, I'm sorry. Your Majesty.

It isn’t something for you
to be sorry about, Father.

Now

the jigsaw puzzle has been completed.

Pardon?

Sunwon, who screwed me over herself.

Today, I prepared ice,
which is even rarer than gold.

Queen Dowager Jo,
who screwed me over indirectly.

I promise I'll treat you someday--

I want to taste it now.

And Jo Hwa-jin, who started all of this.

You tell the King yourself.

So you are threatening me.

I understand what you want.

Father.

I have somewhere to be right now.

Where?

To open the gates of hell.

I'll make you realize

that you messed with the wrong person.

You were like a graceful doe,

but you changed so much
the moment you came into the palace.

They say parents never
truly know their children,

but a graceful doe?

If she had to be an animal,

she would be a wild horse.

My daughter is a wild horse?

The tattoo of the Maori.

Feathers of a peacock.

A devil wearing Prada.

Powerful things are beautiful.

Today, I am wearing
the most beautiful combat suit.

How do you like it?

I love it.

Revenge is best served flamboyantly.

ROUND
1

What is the meaning of this?

There is more to it than meets the eye.

So I must cut it open
to see what is really inside.

I thought it was simply a potato,

but it tricked me completely.

You should not just
cut things open without believing.

You must check if it's a potato
or a sweet potato before you cut it open.

It cannot be undone anymore.

Here is your beverage.

I prepared this "buranchi" today

in order to repay for
the precious gift you gave me last time,

Your Royal Highness.

The nice, cold beverage
you gave me last time was so delicious.

Delicious enough to kill someone.

Please enjoy.

I am not thirsty.

I prepared it with care,
so please taste it at least.

No, thank you!

It took a lot to prepare this.

If you insist…

Ice feels the best
when you crush it with your teeth.

Remember when I told you

that I'll help you stay young
and healthy your whole life?

I am going to continue to do my best.

When you start to suspect
everything you eat, drink, and apply,

your life becomes hell.

You really have gone reckless

now that your husband
is ruling on his own.

Do you think you can remain as the Queen
after betraying your family?

Your Royal Highness.

I can be reckless because I trust myself.

Not my family or my husband.

Right. Chief Eunuch.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I forgot to study
about the "future" for a while.

How could I be so lazy as the King?

So go report to them now.

Report?

Your Majesty,

to whom shall I be reporting?

The ones you always report to.

How dare you!

You know your own crimes!

Your Majesty,
I committed a terrible crime!

I deserve to die!

What is wrong with you?

I was not talking to you.

My life is yours, Your Majesty.

I have no need for that.

What use would I have for your life?

Please kill me, Your Majesty!

I said I did not need it.

What can you do?

You only do as you are told.

Please be angry instead, Your Majesty.

This is even scarier.

How could you be a spy
with nerves like that?

I must stop by somewhere
before the royal court assembly.

You go wait at Injeongjeon Hall.

Could you at least be discreet?

Chief Eunuch is frightened.

Good grief.

ROUND
2

Did you have a good night's sleep?

That is no way to greet an elder.

My hair ornaments are heavy,

so I cannot lower my head.

This is a sacred place of ancestral rites
to our previous kings.

It is inappropriate to come here
with a flamboyant look like that.

When you're going to get a refund,
you have to doll yourself up.

Silly me.

I forgot to offer incense
to the late King.

I'm bringing shame to the reputation
of Cheonghak-dong Etiquette School.

Stop that this instant!

I value Confucianism so much,

and I can't stand it
if I don't mind my manners.

I said, do not touch it!

You left something in my room.

You've been showing up randomly
and invading my privacy.

And I finally know why.

What is the meaning of this?

I told you. I'm getting a refund.

I'm returning all the crap
I went through because of you.

How can you be so rude and impudent?

You dare to frame an elder,

and talk back to me
about every single thing!

You have always been that way,

but you are stepping over the line today!

It seems like you cannot hide the fact

that you grew up without your mother.

You darn mother-in-law!

You say I'm rude
because I grew up without a mother.

Are you so rude because you lived
without your son, old woman?

Damn, that's hot.

I'm boiling with anger,
and I can't stand this heat.

I almost burned the portrait
of your beloved son.

You have lost your mind, my Queen!

Yes.

Totally.

I think I've gone craziest
out of all the crazies.

So tread lightly.

If you dare to touch
a single hair on my body,

you won't see your son's face ever again.

I guess I should have been worried
about the others,

not the Queen.

"Attack is the best form of defense"?

Goodness.

I didn't see you there, Uibin.

Your presence is so faint.

I was just skipping some stones.

-Want to join me?
-Do it by yourself.

The ledger.

I found out you took it.

And I almost got killed over that ledger.

Tell me.

Is that what you wanted?

Did you really not kill Oh-wol?

No matter what I say,
you just believe what you want to believe.

That I'm taking the King away from you,

and that I killed Oh-wol
and put her in the well.

So that I'll be a witch
who deserves to die

and you'll be the nice, pitiful victim.

This is why someone
who plays the victim is scary.

You slowly turn into a monster

without even realizing.

Take a look in the mirror.

See how unsightly you are.

Pull yourself up.

I'm not feeling that generous right now.

When I fell into the lake in front of you…

don't you think you could have…

grabbed my hand too?

This proves

that I'm a better person than you.

Kim Jwa-geun, the General of Training,

has resigned from his position.

Yes, Your Majesty.

The impeachment was delayed,

so I was going to
hold all of you accountable as well.

What a shame.

Excuse me. Just a slip of the tongue.

I meant to say, "What a relief."

And today's subject is…

Today, I have something
to declare to the officials first.

I will make an office to correct the
Corruption of the Three Administrations.

Its name is the Office of Correction
of the Three Administrations.

The Office of Reformation
of the Three Administrations?

I will make laws
and prepare a basic manual

to reform the three administrations.

Joseon survives through agricultural work.

So farmers must live well
for the country to thrive.

Therefore,

exploitation by the chiefs
destroys the country.

I will now punish it
at the level of treason.

You must be careful
when establishing a new office,

so please hear out our--

There will be no compromises
in doing the right thing.

I will no longer be concerned
about what you think.

Additionally,

for his title to meet
the nature of his reign,

I will now correct the late King's title

from Sunjong to Sunjo.

The King is really aggressive today.

Your Majesty.

We are appointing someone new today.

I believe you misspoke,
Chief Royal Secretary.

You mean you "plan" to appoint someone.

The position of
the Minister of War is vacant.

A crisis in military power
is a crisis in the country.

Thus,

we have appointed him

urgently through
the Border Defense Council.

Minister of War, come in!

Minister of War Kim Byung-in.

I give you my salutations.

What is scary about Kim Byung-in is that

he has power over the Jo Family too.

And appeals from both families
demanding the amnesty are…

All thanks to Kim Byung-in.

It wouldn't be easy to ignore
all these appeals, right?

We might end up

giving the aristocrats
a reason to rebel against us.

Now that you're
ruling the country yourself,

you can do what you want,

but it's still hard to stop
what you don't like.

It is true that attack
is the best form of defense.

What is important now

is who gets the first effective strike.

There is no time to find the right person.

You will be the General Director
of the Office of Reformation,

and Captain Hong,
you'll be the investigative censor

and investigate
the three southern regions,

where the public sentiment seems serious.

So another business trip?

Take one for the team.

I just feel like I'm the only one
running around and doing the legwork

while you sit in the palace.

Is it just me?

Only one? My heart is always…

When you finish your duty,

-I might grant a vacation--
-I'll get ready for my trip.

I might…

I said "I might."

He must not have heard the last part.

What a fool.

Your Majesty,

I have a message
from Her Majesty the Queen.

I will not hurt you. Come closer.

Her Majesty the Queen sent a letter.

Are you feeling unwell?

You are so weak.

I thought revenge would

make me feel better.

But it made me feel great.

It's so thrilling.

Your Majesty…

Hey, you're here.

You look particularly dashing today.

This is a good look too.

The face completes the outfit,

so I look good in pretty much everything.

I didn't know I could
pull off a queen's body.

I can never get used to this.

The reason I wanted to see you is…

Let's form an alliance.

I'm sure my family abandoned me
because they think I already did.

I have nothing to lose.

If you are to be on my side,

you will be enemies with the Kim family.

My family abandoned me,
so it's my turn to abandon them.

An enemy's enemy is a friend, right?

Very well.

From now on, you and I are
no longer doing "no touch".

Yes. From now on,
"no touch" isn’t allowed.

In martial arts movies,

they drop blood
into a cup of liquor and share it.

But that's too unsanitary
for times like this.

Let's just share some tea
and celebrate the alliance.

Nice and simple.

What the…

This is how you celebrate an alliance?

Yes, this is how you do it.

Bottoms up.

What…

Now that we've formed an alliance,
let's clear the air a bit.

Why did you try to kill me?

Right.

This is something that had
to be discussed anyway.

I thought you heard our plan
to assassinate my father-in-law.

But he's your father-in-law.

To me, he was just one of the corrupt.

You cold bastard.

I guess you tried to kill
your own wife too.

Serial killer of in-laws.

I'm sorry.

I realize that it is too late for excuses,

but there were many misunderstandings.

Okay.

You owe me one.

I won't forgive you until it's paid off.

So what are you trying to do?
Reinforce the King's authority?

The King's authority is but a tool
to fix the broken country.

I think that the world is
fundamentally incapable of change.

So if I'm being honest,
I like the tool better than the goal.

If you have more authority,
I'll be stronger.

And no one would dare to mess with me.

I am familiar with the fear of death.

You may act tough,

but you must be scared.

I don't know.

It may be because I've died once,

but I hate being walked over
more than dying.

If I can just chew up
the ones trying to walk all over me,

I would probably die smiling.

Your Majesty.

It is time to prepare lunch.

Speaking of which,

I have some chewing up to do.

I am going to die smiling.

"Die smiling."

The King's father-in-law!

Yes, hello, Byung-in…

I mean, Minister of War.

Are you teasing me?

Of course not.

Please call me as you always did.

Actually, I had to talk to you
about Her Majesty…

I mean, my daughter So-yong.

I actually had something to tell you
about Her Majesty too.

Where did I put it?

Where did I put it?

-Where could it…
-I saw that.

Hey!

You brat, you just started working here.

How dare you hold a knife?

Things were so different back in the day.

Young cooks these days are so…

When I suggest getting
some makgeolli after work,

they always try to get out of it.

I am just trying to buy them drinks.

What is there to not like?

I cannot understand
young court maids these days either.

I tell them to come two hours late,
and they really come two hours late.

At the latest, they should be there
a quarter of an hour early.

-Kids these days…
-Kids these days…

Take it to Tongmyeongjeon Hall.

Darn it!

I need a recipe for another revenge.

A recipe…

I should give back as much as I received.

Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth.

Eunuch for a eunuch.

So…

bracken stalks?

-Pearl barley?
-Bracken, pearl barley.

So it's made with lots
of healthy ingredients.

But that would take forever.

That plan takes too long.

Let's go hard.

Castration.

Castration?

I've never heard of…

Right, castration.

Now that is a rare ingredient.

I am not here to pressure you.

I am a man who knows how to give up.

I am sorry.

No need to be.

Can I ask you one last question?

-Yes.
-Why do you not

like men with ambitions?

I have seen many ambitious people
while living in the palace.

And I saw their unfortunate demise.

It scares me

and I hate it.

Thank you for your answer.

If I may dare to make a wish just for you…

I would wish for
your bright smile to last forever.

Hey.

So it is over.

Your hunch really is as sharp as a sickle.

You sure catch on quickly.

How can I not know
when you are crying so much?

Do not look at me.

I do not wish to be seen like this.

Then go over there and cry alone.

People are thinking that I made you cry.

I did not.

I will not cry anymore.

Knowing when to give up
is a part of love too.

It may even be harder
than continuing to love.

You have become quite the poet.

Go on.

Come on now.

So she insists on serving me a meal?

This ominous drawing is--

My goodness.

How lovely.

You would even survive eating poison.

You would be oblivious of it.

I am not used to being complimented.

Your Majesty.

I, Sim-ong of the Han family,

give my salutations to you.

Haven't we met before?

I am grateful!

I am sorry… wait, I am sorry!

I think you're supposed to
say something else.

For example,

"I deserve to die."

Thanks to you,

I lost all of my popcorn,
which I worked hard to make.

It literally went up in the sky.

I did not even realize
that you were the Queen!

I have

committed a great crime!

So you didn't know that it was me.

Then why did you run?

Well, because…

when someone so noble like you
started chasing me,

I was startled, like…

There was no other reason!

Really?

I actually summoned you, Mr. Han…

to offer you a job at the royal court.

It's a good position.

It's a secure, lifelong job,

and the pay is great too.

But you'll lose something in return.

Pardon?

What?

You just said I would lose…

In my eyes, even though
I saw you only for a brief moment,

your face is perfect for that position!

I am honored, Your Majesty!

You.

Be my eunuch.

What the hell?

Hold it, eunuch!

Wait, eunuch!

Wait! Let go, you eunuchs.

Your Majesty!

Please have mercy on me!

Thank you for your…

Seriously, why are you doing this to me?

One, the crime of pretending
to be an aristocrat

by purchasing a fake family name.

Wait, no. That's not your fault.

It's the society's fault

for discriminating classes.

That's right!

One, the crime of putting
poisonous herbs into the water pot

and ruining the King's banquet.

Two, the crime of having
a horrible descendant.

What? Descendant?

Do you not mean "ancestor"?

No.

I'm sure.

You have a horrible descendant.

Descendant…

Your Majesty.

If I become a eunuch,
I can't have any descendants.

Your Majesty!

I can't have any descendants!

Eunuchs. You don't have
any descendants, right?

I can't have any descendants!

Damn it.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty,

the Minister of War is here.

Your Majesty.

I'm sure the entire Ansong Kim family
is on the same side.

But my father is
in the Ansong Kim family too. Right?

I just called him my father
like it's normal.

The displacement is getting serious.

I figured out what happened to you
after yesterday's visit.

It must have been horrible.

So you didn't know
they were trying to kill me?

I am not on my father's side
or the Kim family's.

But you're not free from either of them.

You will find out soon.

Is he an enemy or an ally?

How dare they try to kill my So-yong?

How could they try to kill
Her Majesty the Queen?

Kim Jwa-geun, that bastard.

I will destroy him this instant!

And an Office of Reformation?

That must be a plot
to bring down our family

by using the corruption as an excuse.

Do not be worried.

If he criticizes it
by calling it exploitation,

everyone would be a criminal.

In order to protect themselves,

everyone has to protect the chiefs,

so the Office of Correction of the
Three Administrations will be powerless.

Even if you join forces
with them temporarily,

do not even blink in front
of Queen Dowager Jo.

She is a hypocrite hiding a sword
behind her smiling guise.

I will keep that in mind.

Lady-in-waiting Jeon!

Yes, Your Royal Highness.

Take the food away
and summon Female Physician Park.

Yes, Your Royal Highness.

Are you sending the food back already?

I lost my appetite.

I heard you have been quite satisfied
with the meals cooked by the Queen.

They were not so extraordinary.

They were simply edible.

The Queen is deeply heartbroken.

She is blaming herself harshly

for suspecting Uibin of
having turned the Kim family against her

Uibin?

The King's father-in-law just told me.

It was not the Queen who tricked you.

It was Uibin.

His Majesty the King is here.

Let him in.

Your Majesty.

I apologize for coming
without contacting you.

It is okay.

I am always honored to have you.

I have something to tell you.

What is it about?

About the corpse of a court maid
recently found in the well…

The Queen Dowager fabricated it
by having the corpse placed.

Her Royal Highness?

But why?

Do you have any idea?

So the corpse was…

It was not Oh-wol.

That cannot be.

It was Oh-wol for sure.

I heard it was difficult
to identify the face.

Why were you so convinced that it was her?

Because she was wearing
a court maid's uniform,

and she was the only court maid
who went missing.

She knew that you would be convinced.

What the Queen Dowager wants is…

for you to rely on her.

But why did it have to be the well?

I told her about the incident in the well.

The well is where I met you
but it holds a painful memory.

Your image overlapped with hers,

so I was convinced
that I lost someone precious.

I suppose I should never
open up about my heartaches

to anyone in the palace.

Please bring the Queen down

into the nightmare I am living in.

From now on,
never trust the Queen Dowager.

We have to hide the source,

so do not let her see
that you know what she did.

I also feel disappointed and betrayed
by Her Royal Highness the Queen Dowager.

The well is a place

that brings me fear of death,

and she used it against me.

DAEJOJEON HALL

It's similar to poker or hwatu.

Gambling and playing games
is the best way to waste time.

I am relieved, Your Majesty.

We thought you would be grieving
because of Dahm-hyang…

I am sorry, Your Majesty.

Don’t worry.

Dahm-hyang went to a better place.

Right?

She is in a better place, right?

Dahm-hyang…

No, what I meant was…

She literally went to a better place.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Dahm-hyang…

She did go to an actual better place!

Stop crying.

I am sorry.

Now that I think about it,

we didn’t even get
to say goodbye to Dahm-hyang.

Dahm-hyang!

-Your Majesty.
-Dahm-hyang.

Dahm-hyang.

Seven.

Eight.

This is…

This is nine.

I am sorry.

Damn it.

Dahm-hyang…

Dahm-hyang…

All in.

How did Queen Dowager Jo
obtain the ledger?

We could not find it
no matter how hard we tried.

At this point, we might as well
recruit Queen Dowager Jo.

I am kidding.

You said she's better than me,
who's wandering outside the palace,

and I felt useless.

But how did Queen Dowager Jo
get the ledger,

when she hardly comes out
of Seonwonjeon Hall?

Seeing how she fabricated the corpse,

it means she has people
who will do the job for her.

Should we recruit her hands and feet then?

Are we still yet to find out
who was behind the goblin mask?

I have been working too hard recently.

Getting Dahm-hyang's mother
out of slavery,

searching for her missing father…

But you could not find her father.

How can I find someone
who hid in the mountains?

He must have become a bandit.

I am hanging on by a thread
in hopes of going on the vacation

after my business trip
as the investigative censor.

Look here, I only said--

Could you dispatch me
as a royal secret inspector

instead of an investigative censor?
That looks cooler.

I would hide my identity
until I pull out my horse medal!

You are a natural royal secret inspector.

Do as you wish.

One more time.

But the King's father-in-law
doesn’t seem like such a bad guy.

Jerks like Kim Jwa-geun deserve to die.

But the father…

He's the only biological family
left for me.

Hey!

How can you sleep after trying
to kill your father-in-law and your wife?

You're not.

Stop going crazy, my heart.

Have some self-respect.

She was in the water for a long time.

Oh, dear. It must have been
suffocating and painful.

The corpse was found in the well
by unfortunate coincidence

or someone's trying to come between us.

I was lost in my thoughts.

You must be in shock.

The palace is too big for me.

Not only am I lonely,
but I also get lost easily.

I found the court maid who sold
the ornament you gave to Oh-wol.

She said she found it
buried in the ground in the palace.

Is that so?

That court maid
also put the corpse in the well

by the order of Queen Dowager Jo.

Oh-wol is alive.

She was killed in the palace.

She could not take
a single step out of the palace.

Should you not be hoping

that the corpse in the well
was not Oh-wol?

Should you not be happy with hopes

that it may not be Oh-wol?

Why do you believe
that the corpse is Oh-wol?

Just what…

Just what are you hiding?

What is the item…

you gave to Queen Dowager Jo…

last time?

Did you see it?

I cannot

see anything…

if you tell me to see nothing.

Anyone can be lost for a moment.

You can still go back
to your original place.

What if I am not simply lost?

Can I still

go back to my original place?

I cannot go back.

Lady Uibin!

That corpse has to be Oh-wol!

What are you cooking at this late hour?

Samhyangramyeon?

Why are instant noodles
so much more tempting at night?

I know my face will be
bloated the next day,

but even then, it's so hard to resist.

Unfortunately, your efforts were in vain.

Her Royal Highness the Grand Queen Dowager
does not eat so late at night.

I will be eating it for her.

No, you won't.

You should say something if you are here.

Why are you standing there
knocking on the door?

Want some instant noodles before you go?

What are instant noodles
and where am I going after eating them?

No pressure.

It's like research

or a test.

No, I shouldn't be doing this.

But just one bite. No!

Instant noodles so captivating,

that once I take a bite, I can't stop.

What are you doing?

Inner conflict.

What would you do?

Would you eat
these instant noodles or not?

I think I would explain
what instant noodles are…

First…

First?

I will try it.

Right?

You have to try it to see what it's like.

Whether it was just a drunk mistake,

or I really have lost my mind.

If it's not either, that means…

this is for real.

Are we talking about the same thing?

Of course.

We're talking about instant noodles.

Come closer.

You have to get it while it's hot.

Good grief.

What in the world are you…

My goodness!

Oh, no! This is a precious book!

How do you know that this is precious?

Why is this copy of the Book
for Teaching Children precious to you?

You see…

Was it you?

The one who saved my life. Was it you?

Are you the one
who saved me from the well?

Yes.

It was me.

ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS,
AND EVENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS,

AND ARE UNRELATED TO HISTORICAL FACTS

I'm sure dear Cheoljong is waiting for me.

Did you set us up?

Who knew that
the Queen's declaration of war was real?

-Is it my turn?
-Draw the sword.

If anyone gets caught
because he did not clean up properly,

he takes the blame for everything.

Even if we cut the Kim family out,
Kim Byung-in's power is growing.

We are making no progress.

If Cheoljong succeeds,

the world after 200 years
will change too, right?

As long as I'm on your side,
you're bound to win.

I have a secret weapon.

I know the future.
