That day.. The capital of Joseon and the palace all fell into the hands of Japanese soldiers.

June 15, 1592

They invaded as far as Pyongyang Castle.

Once again, the King's carriage

was moved to Yongbyon, Chongju, then to Uiju.

The ones who turned the tide of the war are,

Joseon's naval forces led by Yi Sun Sin and the army raised in the cause of loyalty throughout the country.

In January 1593, The Ming army led by General Li Yeo Song (Li Rusong) and the Joseon army

were finally able to recapture Pyongyang Castle.

Why did you stop the battle, even though you have reclaimed Pyongyang Castle?

The Japanese invaders are frightened by the presence of the Ming's soldiers.

It will be a great victory if we continue to attack towards the capital.

Your Majesty, you sure are clueless!

To bring victory to a war; it's not always necessary to shed blood, is it?

Lee Yeo Song Ming General

Please be patient and wait.

The Japanese invaders got a taste of the fury of great powers.

So, they will naturally withdraw from the capital,

to flee down south, very soon.

I've heard that China has joined hands with the Japanese invaders

to form a 'peace negotiation' behind Joseon's back? Is this true?

That is...

We will not negotiate! That will never happen!

By excluding Joseon, how can we

join hands with the Japanese invaders?

Then, please proceed with the attack without halting this war.

Only the Ming Emperor has the authority to direct the Grand Army.

Don't tell us what to do with our own soldiers!

You are serving a subordinate of that famous General. I guess he will tip you well.

But of course.

But, you're quite skillful.

I'm sorry but your head is going to hurt a bit for about an hour.

Everything is very disorderly about Joseon, but

the seductive Gisaengs (Courtesans) of Joseon are the best!

Then, you must stay a little longer.

Why on earth do you need to leave tonight?

I serve under General Konishi Yukinaga.

I hold a very important position.

Hey, hey! That is confidential military info.

You're certainly the messenger of the General Konishi Yukinaga.

What the heck?!

Hurry up and confiscate his possessions!

There is nothing!

He has it!

This is the supply route of the Japanese that connects through Pyongan province to Gyeonggi province.

Yes. They are pushed to supply their military provisions and gunpowder by land.

Thanks to Admiral Yi Sun Sin for blocking all the sea routes for supplies.

By the way, the supply route is down by Gyeonggi province...

Isn't that the proof that they are retreating south?

Is there any other infomation from our spies in Hanyang?

I haven't heard anything new.

This is an important clue. Good job.

I didn't do it alone. Then...

Ga Hee...

Yes, Your Highness.

Please take care of yourself.

You too.

Shoot!

There is more than double the amount of military provisions and gun powder, Crown Prince.

Since we cleaned out the invader's pocket today,

this Crown Prince's face won't look too bad!

Gwang Hae's Base Camp Songchon, Pyongan Province

Fighting the war everyday,

how tired must you be?

Today, I'll relieve your discomfort.

So, enjoy it to the fullest.

Crown Prince.

Yi Jeong Am Commander, Righteous Army in Hwanghae Province

The Japanese invader Kuroda Nagamasa is eyeing to take Yonan castle.

We have to defend Yonan castle.

You're talking about that again?

With only 500 militiamen, what are you planning to do?

Doesn't the enemy have as much as 5,000?

It would be better to focus on battles that you have a better chance of winning.

Here. Here.

General, stop it and try to enjoy the day.

If we give up Yonan castle,

don't you know that Hwanghae province will be crushed by the invaders?

Also, Yonan castle is the relay base

that connects the King's court in Uiju County

with the 3 southern provinces, Chungcheong, Jeolla, and Gyeongsang Provinces.

But you still want us to give it to the invaders?

That is my Royal Command.

If you disobey, you will be expelled.

Expel me. I will take my soldiers and

protect Yonan castle.

Crown Prince.

I'm sorry.

Just as you said, the battle for Yonan castle is rather important.

For a moment, I had to find out what kind of a person you were.

Enter!

These are my best soldiers.

I will give you the 500 soldiers that they lead.

A few days ago, the supplies that were for Kuroda Nagamasa,

we cut them off. So, they will have a severe shortage of gunpowder to fight with.

These will help you greatly in your fight.

Crown Prince.

I am assigning you, Yi Jeong Am, as the Bandit suppression commissioner of Hwanghae Province.

Make sure you save Yonan castle.

Crown Prince.

I will save Yonan castle without fail.

What?!

You're telling me our soldiers lost at Haengju Mountain Fortress?

Yes, General. Last month, we lost Pyongyang Castle because of the Ming army,

but this time, Joseon's righteous army fought at Haengju Mountain Fortress and Kilju castle.

What did I tell you, sir? Yi Sun Shin is not the only problem.

Didn't I tell you that Crown Prince bastard is going around everywhere, seducing

Joseon bastards to join the army?

That little kid, who played around with the gunpowder, changed the tide of the war, huh?

General, I heard we will be told to withdraw from Hanyang soon.

Are you planning on just retrieving?

We will only carry out the Great Lord's order.

Did you find every treasure of Joseon's royal family?

Yes. We're now searching for Buddhist arts at the temples near Hanyang.

We don't have much time left.

Proceed more quickly.

I understand.

Crown Prince!

They are back. Commander Yi Jeong Am and his soldiers are back!

What?

Subtitles brought to you by The Face Readers @ Viki

Your Highness...

You have no idea how happy I was when I heard the news about your victory.

I heard that the battle was intense,

to fight for three days against the Japanese's army that had five times as many soldiers as you had.

Thanks to you, we didn't lose the castle!

The credit belongs to the people in Yonan and the righteous army.

Also, Your Highness gave your full material and spiritual support.

I've never been this happy since the war broke.

Eunuch Im,

We will open the storeroom after a long time. Take out the wine and food

to praise them!

We will accept the command, Crown Prince.

You got a lot better compared to last time.

Yes.

My father still suffers every night.

Make in not hurt, doctor.

Physician?

He must have thought you were a real physician because of your excellent medical skills.

Maybe I should change my profession.

I will bring a medicine to relieve the pain for the patient.

The medicines we use are almost all used up.

Did you bring some when you went out there as a spy?

Yes.

No matter how I think about it, it seems I can't venture a guess.

About... what?

I'm talking about you.

You know how to daub powder on a girl and you are a warrior and not a man.

Also, if your work is not brilliant, what is?

Who are you from where?

I will bring the medical herbs.

How can a eunuch stand in the way of a Ming general?

This food is for Joseon's soldiers!

Your Crown Prince has to provide the food for Ming's army and horses.

Get out of the way right now!

If you don't, I will cut off your head!

Bastard!

What are you doing?

Despite the fact that Joseon was saved all due to Ming's effort,

if you can't supply us properly,

it will become a very awkward situation.

I've already sent the provisions and horse food as we promised.

Don't you see how many mouths there are?

There are over 50,000 Ming soldiers!

I'm going to cut off his head

and show your soldiers what military discipline is!

That knife... I dare you to move it.

I will see who's head will fall off first.

Salute to the Crown Prince!

The Crown Prince's soldiers won again?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Everywhere the Crown Prince goes,

armies rise,

risking their lives to fight.

A righteous army, you say?

Even if that kind of rabble wins,

at most, they probably took the heads off of a few of the Japanese enemy.

Without the help of the Ming, the war situation could not have been changed like this.

What you say is true.

Using whatever means necessary,

we must block the peace negotiations.

We must change Li Yeo Song's mind and block the peace negotiations,

and we need to wipe out those Japanese bastards again.

Your Majesty, It is said that Li Yeo Song has refined tastes.

What do you think about sending someone who is exactly to his liking to persuade him?

He appreciates refined things?

Yes.

Call Song Kang here immediately.

There's nothing that you can't do, is there, Minister?

Lord Song Kang is

the best writer of our time, and he knows the best alcohol and women.

In order to experience the refined things of Joseon,

there is no better guide than he.

If there is anything you want, please ask me.

I will definitely do that.

Please have some.

Also, about the peace negotiations...

I heard that the Japanese have imposed conditions to allow them to quietly retreat,

but we can't send them back alive.

Isn't this the general's unit which recaptured the area up to Pyeongyangseong?

Force your way into the capital city, Hanyang,

and wipe those bastards out.

What kind of alcohol is this, impure and bad tasting?

General.

You're shameless, Minister.

With just a few glasses of this cheap alcohol,

how can you make such a big request?

Then what would you like me to do?

Moreover, the Crown Prince of Joseon

is nearby where our Ming soldiers are stationed,

but he hasn't shown proper courtesy,

and he hasn't given any consideration to food for the horses of the Ming soldiers.

After treating China this way,

how can you expect us to keep spilling blood for Joseon's sake?

That's not possible.

General, our Crown Prince is...

Please relay this to the King.

If the King of Joseon will perform "Five Bows Three Kowtow" (bowing five times and touching one's head to the ground three times while bowing)

whether it's peace negotiations, or whatever else, I'll consider it.

General.

General!

Are you satisfied with this much?

Yes, General. You did very well.

However, demanding "Five Bows Three Kowtow" from His Majesty is...

a bit excessive, don't you think?

Do you really think the King would be doing the "Five bows Three Kowtow"?

Anyway, I'm assuming that that Crown Prince

does have a stiff neck (personality),

however, he did bring food for the soldiers and the horses in a timely manner.

I don't feel quite all right

about saying something which has loose ends.

You must have a lot of expenses in this unfamiliar land?

Although it's quite an insignificant amount, please make good use of them.

Well, it does look insignificant.

If my Prince Sin Seong becomes the Crown Prince

with your and Ming's power, you can't possibily think that this will be all?

Presenting you with the entire northern part of the country won't be enough.

I will try my best, so don't worry.

You have to gather only the best.

You must seduce and melt General Lee Yeo Song's heart, tonight!

Yes, My Lord.

I want to learn great lessons from you, General.

General, our Prince Sin Seong has great admiration for the strength of your character and detrmination.

Oh, really?

General, they are ready for you.

How can they be so shameless

as members of the royal family?

Lee Yeo Song wanted "Five Bows Three Kowtow" from me?

He truly is an arrogant person!

Please don't pay serious attention to those words.

However, I would have to do the "Five Bows Three Kowtow"

in order for him to not have "peace negotiation.''

My Majesty, he probably only said that to humiliate Joseon.

I will do the act of "Five Bows Three Kowtow."

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

There's nothing I can't do...

if there is a way to stop the "peace negotiation".

Your Majesty!

Subtitles brought to you by The Face Readers @ Viki

I have to do it. I can do it.

I have to bear my humiliation and do it.

I have to become a king who stopped the "peace negotiation"

and the King who encouraged the advance of the Ming Dynasty.

I have to be the King who led this war to victory.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, why are you doing this?

It was due to the help of Ming's dynasty, that we were able to seize Pyongyang Castle..

Therefore, we are very grateful!

How will I be able to repay you for all of your grace?

I never expected Your Majesty to fulfill

what I said when I was little drunk.

You probably know why I did the "Five Bows Three Kowtow."

Are you talking about the peace negotiation?

That's right.

Please stop proceeding with the peace negotiation.

Your Majesty fell very short of your judgment.

Lord Song Kang,

must not have delivered my words?

Do you know what's making our Ming people angry?

It's Joseon Crown Prince's

insolent manners.

What do you mean, Crown Prince's insolence?

What are you talking about?

If you knew everything was because of the Crown Prince,

how come you did not tell me?

How can you all cover for the Crown Prince only?!

Your Majesty...

Lee Yeo Seong is lying right now.

What?

The Crown Prince is even sending his personal guards to unite forces with the Ming's soldiers

to form a joint military group to advise on strategic plans.

Also, he has appointed delegates to

provide the best hospitality to the Ming General.

Lee Yeo Song is trying to make an excuse.

Then, are you saying that Ming's soldiers were not too helpful in defending this war?

Is this what you're saying?

Pardon?

It seems as though you're saying that it was all thanks to Crown Prince, we could defend this nation.

I'm the one who called for Ming's help!

What did I do for this country as a King, then?! If all of you feel that way!

Your Majesty! We have committed a sin worthy of death!

Now, I realize that I was looking for an answer elsewhere, when it was right underneath my nose.

If the beloved Crown Prince becomes the King,

he can perhaps drive all the Japanese bastards out.

To provide a peaceful reign, again.

The Crown Prince has already been running the branch court.

I'm considering this as an opportunity to abdicate in favor of the Crown Price and to withdraw cleanly from the throne.

Your Majesty ... that is absurd!

I will not listen anymore.

I'm a King who is guilty of abandoning the capital, and the country fell in ruins.

This is the righteous way.

Please call for the Crown Prince, immediately to prepare for the abdication proceedings.

Your Majesty!

One more thing...

Song Kang, you must in any case leave here

to go to Ming and immediately inform them of our situation.

Your Majesty!

Are we heading the wrong way?

What a bad omen to encounter when we have to travel so far?!

You must have become blind, since you're upset with being thrown out?

For you to treat me as a ghost when I'm perfectly alive.

If your intention is to get under my skin...

that's enough! So move out of the way!

Please have a safe trip.

I feel as though this could be our last encounter.

Since, we were arch enemies in this life time...

In our next lives, let's be more cordial and play baduk (go) with a drink.

I don't see why we can't do that!

However, before that...

we must both be responsible for creating chaos in this entire country.

Let's go.

Your Majesty, you must not abdicate the throne!

Your Majesty, please withdraw your order!

Your Majesty, you cannot abdicate the throne!

Your Majesty, you must not!

Please reconsider.

Please reconsider!

Your Majesty, you cannot abdicate the throne!

It's very delicious.

Your Majesty!

Did you go hunting for me again?

It is my duty.

Physiognomists are truly remarkable.

Even if I don't say a word, you still read my mind and give me what I want.

I apologize.

I've announced the abdication of the throne, so the person who's going to be receiving power should hear the news.

Kim Do Chi, go deliver the Crown Prince the news and bring him back here.

Yes, Your Majesty. I will leave immediately.

Subtitles brought to you by The Face Readers @ Viki

Are you the physiognomist for the Royal Palce of Joseon?

Yes, indeed.

Then, you must know the Crown Prince very well?

Of course.

What type of a person is he?

He is intelligent and clever, but

because of his aptitude for the throne, he is shunned by the King.

I want his head before I leave the capital.

As a souvenir for the Great Lord (Toyotomi Hideyosi) from Joseon.

That will be better than Joseon's porcelain.

You will help me capture the Crown Prince.

Yes, General.

We can't just pull back from Joseon so quietly.

Even if we have to leave, I plan to take everything.

It will be too heavy to carry everything

so I will cut off the noses from the Joseon people and take them all with me.

Before I leave the city, I'll wipe out all the Joseon people in Hanyang.

Don't worry. I'll take you with me.

Please don't leave me behind.

We'll be leaving as soon as the treaty of peace is signed.

Have everything ready before then.

This place will be painted with the beautiful color of blood.

What is it? Is it bad news?

Where is the Crown Prince right now?

It's a letter from Song Wol in the capital.

Before Kinoshita leaves Joseon,

he plans to kill everyone in the city.

Your Highness, I've heard of his cruelty

and how he does target practice with Joseon children.

Japan and Ming are trying to do their own negotiations right now.

What are the conditions for negotiation?

We don't know, so it's frustrating.

Negotiating on their own and leaving Joseon out.

I need to go to Hanyang.

What are you planning to do?

I can't just sit back and watch Kinoshita murder our own people!

I'll punish him with my own hands!

I'll go with you.

Yes, please.

I'll take my leave now.

Crown Prince, a messenger from Uiju has arrived.

From His Majesty?

It's you ...

What are you saying?

My Royal father is going to abdicate ...

Is that what you are saying?

Yes.

His Majesty said that he will abdicate the throne and you will be in charge of the royal court.

An order has been issued to the courtiers to prepare for the abdication.

Why would My Royal Father speak of abdication?

Why don't you get ready and leave?

His Majesty is waiting.

Has the Daedong Society been assisting the Crown Prince?

You must've been acting as a leader then.

Didn't you betray the Daedong Society first?

Do you think I don't know what's on your mind?

Are you trying to rise from low-rank to medium-rank by helping the Crown Prince, hoping to get a government post again?

After you abandoned the Daedong Society, I only carried on to prevent it from being scattered.

I am not ambititious.

Long ago a prophet said this.

The Daedong Society will go away like grains of sand.

From the time you wanted to promote Sin Seong as a Crown Prince

I should have known you were ambitious.

Ga Hee.

Orabeoni.

Have you also been staying with the Crown Prince for the whole time?

I was there for the people, not for the Crown Prince.

Ga Hee, later there is a greater task for you to do.

What are you talking about?

So take good care of yourself.

His Majesty says he will abdicate?

Yes.

Because of that, I must immediately go to Uijoo.

There, I will have to lie low on a straw mat and ask him to withdraw his order.

The situation ... His Majesty probably is not being honest.

He has an anxiety problem.

While it may be harsh to you,

you must protect him.

Yes, I will bear that in mind.

Royal Mother, the enemy's post is right in front of our noses.

This time go with me to Uijoo.

Crown Prince, do you know why I came here all the way from Uijoo,

in spite of the opposition of the King?

Although I know you are leading the branch court,

it won't be easy with only a handful at the court and the Royal Forces.

I know I'm a Queen in name only,

I should stay near you and the branch court.

Even if it's small,

I will be of a help to you by supporting you.

Royal Mother ...

Don't worry about her safety.

I will be at her side and care for her.

Thank you, Crown Princess.

Are you saying you will slip into the city?

Are you guys really okay with that?

It's all for the good of our Crown Prince.

Lately, there's been a mistake not recognizing the skill of the Daedong Society.

Song Wol and a few other Daedong Society members are already in Hanyang.

For now, we're just going to check the enemy's movements. Please don't worry.

Don't you know how the current situation is?

You drink everyday and even attack private houses!

How can you still say that you're the Prince of this country?

Royal Father, please answer me.

Please tell me about the letter you gave me on the day you left Hanyang.

What are you talking about?

You wrote that Gwang Hae became the Crown Prince so urgently,

and the decision can be changed any time.

I believed the letter and was holding on to this day.

However!

I heard about the abdication!

Isn't it different from what you said?

You're so shameless.

What have you done for this country ever since the war broke out?

You were being held hostage by the Japanese,

and you still want to become the Crown Prince?

My Royal Father!

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

The Crown Prince has arrived just now.

Royal Father, have you been well?

It's been a long time.

Cheif Eunuch, call Chief Royal Secretary.

Since the Crown Prince is here, I will abdicate the throne according to the procedures.

Royal Father!

Royal Father!

Hyungnim.

Gwang Hae, it finally seems like that you're going to be the King.

Although you saved my life,

I can't just let it happen.

Don't worry, Hyungnim.

That is not going to happen.

Not now.

I won't become the King like this.

Please withdraw your order of abdication.

I beg of you.

Please withdraw your order of abdication.

Please withdraw your order of abdication.

Royal Father! Please withdraw your order of abdication.

I beg of you!

Royal Father! Please withdraw your order of abdication.

Your Highness, it's good news.

The Crown Prince is lying low on a straw mat and petitioning the King.

Isn't it all thanks to Lee Yeo Song?

Your Highness, you look worried.

Is it because of the "Five Bows and Three Kowtows"?

Mother!

I didn't plan this to humiliate the King.

It's just Gwang Hae, I only meant to entrap him...

Seeing His Majesty lower his head to

that rotten bastard, I feel so...

Your Highness,

aren't all these things for our Sin Seong?

Please don't be too concerned.

Im Hae, what kind of act is this?

A person like you could be dead and it will not be enough.

To be the Crown Prince, you got the Ming involved?

And you call yourself a prince of Joseon?

Stop, Im Hae.

If that is frustrating you so much, go tell the King immediately.

"The mother and son plotted out everything!"

"The Crown Prince had nothing to do with it!" Go tell him that!

Why? You can't do it?

Of course, you can't.

You too want the Crown Prince to

fall from his position.

So, since you can't tell the King,

aren't you just taking out your frustration on Sin Seong?

Am I wrong?

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, please rescind your abdication.

Your Majesty, rescind the abdication...

Your Majesty.

The Crown Prince took a horse to get here without resting for days.

But as soon as he's arrived, he's been outside...

I am deeply concerned for his health.

So, tell him to quickly accept the Royal command.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Please rescind the abdication.

Your Majesty, rescind the abdication.

Your Majesty, rescind the abdication.

Crown Prince.

Teacher.

His Majesty is

asking you to come in.

Given that the country's future is in crisis, I made my decision after contemplating for a long time.

I am foolish, clumsy, and inadequate...

I'm not confident in my qualification to handle state affairs.

How could I dare to replace Your Majesty?

You needn't be so humble.

Everyone is singing praise for the Crown Prince

who held together the country when it was falling apart.

If you are uncomfortable taking the throne right away, there's no need to be.

I've already finished all the preparations before you arrived here.

So you can start sitting on the throne and leading the country.

Father.

It was only a few months ago that you

arranged some courtiers with me

for the second royal court of Joseon,

the branch court.

Yes, I did.

For the last few months, I was leading the branch court

and crossed enemy lines and fought them off.

But our adversaries are strong...

the number of lives that I couldn't save and the amount of blood being shed...

increases with each day.

This is all because of me.

I am weak and don't have enough power. But, Father...

I put my all in the battle and

fought with my dying effort.

What can I do to appease your great anger?

Whatever it is you want of me,

I will do as you desire.

Will you really do as I desire?

Yes, I will.

Then, straight away

go to General Lee Yeo Song of the Ming and apologize to him.

Pardon..?

You were right within the vicinity of the Ming military post

and yet you failed to fulfill your obligations to Ming?

Royal Father, that .. Because of your impropriety

do you know what degradation I had to endure?

I had to do Five Bows with Three Kowtows!

If I did it, then it is surely not beneath you to do so as well.

Father, they did send their soldiers

but they didn't put in effort toward fighting off the enemy.

It's because this isn't their war.

Lee Yeo Song only accused me of those things

to find an excuse!

You're so haughty and rude,

it's no wonder the Ming refuse to acknowledge you as the Crown Prince!

The reason I endured that humiliation was to stop them from completing the Peace Treaty.

I've gone through such humiliation as the King, so who are you to say you can't do it?!

Father!

Become the King in my place

and you can do whatever you want.

Get out of my sight.

Aren't you Lady Ga Hee?

When you tried to give me to His Majesty for this country's sake,

I thought your loyaltry was truly amazing.

But it seems I was wrong.

I hear that you're an informant for the Japanese now.

I needed to survive too.

My wife is ill and can't move,

so we couldn't flee the city.

The Crown Prince tried to get everyone to leave the city,

but there are several people like me who couldn't leave the city.

Furthermore,

many people returned to the city when they couldn't find any food in the mountains.

Even so, you can't be forgiven for what you've done.

I came here to hear more about the Peace Treaty.

Since you're in such close quarters with them, shouldn't you have heard something?

You're one step too slow.

The Peace Treaty

has already been completed in secret.

I don't know who helped you all this way

but you should hurry back.

Soon, the Japanese will start executing

the people still in the city.

Father, please rescind your order for abdication.

I'm begging you from the depths of my soul.

Please rescind your order for abdication!

Your Highness, there's a huge problem!

We just received news from the capital...

What is it?

I need to speak to my father in private. Leave us be.

Your Majesty, what would you have me do?

Leave us for a bit.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Subtitles brought to you by The Face Readers @ Viki

Father,

the Japanese and Ming have already signed the Peace Treaty in secret!

What?

Lee Yeo Song has fooled you.

Lee Yeo Song knew all along but didn't tell you.

They've even added a clause to kill

all the Joseon people who attack the Japanese to take revenge.

The Japanese are trying to sneak out of Joseon without harm.

They...

They fooled us?

Yes, Father.

Father, wiping out those Japanese troops is an issue that happens on our land.

So we shouldn't need to follow the treaty

when we were left out.

The Ming didn't fulfill their duties to us,

so why do we have to follow their orders?

What are you proposing right now?

Before they leave the capital,

the Japanese will kill everyone in the city.

I will rescue our people

and obliterate the Japanese who tarnished our land!

What?
